Speaker 1: Later on today's No Dunks, we're gonna draft the two

10
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: American All Star teams, hence Task wearing the stars and

11
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: Trey wearing the stripes. You guys look fantastic. You are

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: you made your stars?

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Danielle did.

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: Oh nice.

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: I'm ready for the draft, not to be drafted. I

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: don't want to be in the military, but also I

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: mean I am wearing camouflogers, so I could be drafted

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: any day.

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: We'll do the American teams in the All Star Game later.

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: But a new name has entered the trade rumor rumble.

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: The Clippers and Cavaliers have discussed a deal that would

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: send James Harden to Cleveland for Darius Garland. Sports illustrateds

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Chris Mannix was the first to report on this one,

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: followed soon after by the heavy hitters at ESPN and

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: The Athletic and yeahoo's sports. But clutch points, sure, and

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: clutch points. So the Clips and the Cavaliers engaged in

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: James Harden trade talks. That's the report. As we get

28
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: closer and closer to the deadline on Thursday, test let's

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: start with you. Your reaction either late last night, you know,

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: watching that game between the six Ers of Clippers, and

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe you found out this.

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: Morning at five am this morning, I see that come in.

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: I say, what is basketball? I don't understand. James Harden's

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: team was just fifteen and three. Why what is happening?

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: And then I realized, oh, yeah, he's requested many traits.

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: This is just the fourth time that he's done it.

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: It's not unprecedented. It sort of makes sense. Then I

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: start to dabb all right, I'm this investigative work here.

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: Why why is it happening? Is it because I don't know?

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: Maybe he wasn't talked about being an All Star this year,

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: not appreciated enough. Maybe he knows what's going on with

42
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: the aspiration. And then everything's gonna come down with the

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: Clippers and he wants out first. Maybe it's money. Oh yeah,

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: it's money. Follow the money. That's exactly what's happening here

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: with James Hardy wasn't going to get an extension. He

46
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 2: wants that. He wants to get paid. Horrible situation here

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: for the Los Angeles Slippers. As they're asked about it postgame,

48
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: John Collins asked about it, Oh gosh, yeah, this is awful,

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: and Kawhi Le Leonard handled it well, Yeah, I support

50
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: my guy and all that, but this is just bad

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: for the team. But it sure feels like James Harden's

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: going to be moved in the next forty eight hours.

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I should know. Harden did not play in

54
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: last night's game, miss the game before. These are personal reasons.

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: So he's like away from the team here and then

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: we get these reports here TK, your guy, James Harden

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: wants out again.

58
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: He's the goater, greatest of all trade requesters. Nobody's ever

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: done it like him, nobody. When he sees something come

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: into an end, he is the first one out the door.

61
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: He's like JD at an All Star party. He's gone

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: before you even.

63
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Know it's over.

64
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: You're like, what what, JD's already left? Jakes Tarder requested

65
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: a trade. They're playing great, we're dancing out here, and

66
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: JD waits JD walk away. That's unbelievable though. Basically, Harden

67
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: has a player option for next season. Yeah, twenty six,

68
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: twenty seven. It is partially guaranteed, and the Clippers by

69
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: all accounts, are going to be chasing free agents in

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven, so Harden wants to get his extension.

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: That's what it always is about. What it always is

72
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: for James Harden, Like tass is saying, it's always about

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: the money. He wants that next deal and he wants

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: it locked in before he has to hit free agency,

75
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: so that's.

76
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Why he's doing it now.

77
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: It's also kind of a non trade request because the

78
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: phrasing is that him and the Clippers are working through

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: whether the sides can find a deal. I feel like

80
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: this is all just people jumping through hoops. They don't

81
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: get fine for making a public trade request, but this

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 3: definitely came out of nowhere. I don't think it's terrible

83
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: for the Clippers if they're able to get Darius Garland

84
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 3: back turning a thirty six year old guy who's going

85
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 3: to be leaving eventually into a younger player who's under

86
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,239
Speaker 3: a longer contract. Of course, Garland can't stay on the court.

87
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: But I don't think it's the death of the Clippers.

88
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're kind of already in a

89
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: tough spot. But that's probably why James Harden wants to leave.

90
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: But once he wants to leave, he is out of there.

91
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: So this all happen.

92
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the death of the Clippers, but it's

93
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: the death of the term trade request or trade demand.

94
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 2: Right now, it's just Team X is talking with Team

95
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: Y to get players Z to that location. You know,

96
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: it's just terminology. Now the term trade demand is done.

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: He was the best to ever do it, though, the

98
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 2: trade demand. Yeah, but now that that demand is dead,

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: or excuse me, that term is dead, maybe somebody else

100
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: would be better at this whole new terminology. We got

101
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: a whole sentence for somebody because they don't want to

102
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: step on anyone's toes. Nobody wants to step on anyone's toes,

103
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: not even Chump's not stepping on anyone's toes. To claim

104
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: it a trade request, because that's what it is. That's

105
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 2: exactly what it is.

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: He's super weird. Timing though, like you said, you started here,

107
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: the Clippers like are back to being good, you know

108
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: obviously of like getting back into the play in race

109
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: here and all this, and he's played really well. Yeah,

110
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: like right after the All Star selections are announced and

111
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: he's not in the mix, and yeah, the whole aspiration

112
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: of it all it is weird. He does have veto

113
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: power on any deal because he's technically only under contract

114
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: for this season as the one year Bird, but the

115
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: second year of his two year, eighty one point five

116
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: million dollar deal he agreed to this past Austineason is

117
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: a player option, which isn't fully guaranteed, as you said, TK,

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: so he has some control here. Now. The Cavaliers interest

119
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: in Harden, people are saying is contingent on the amount

120
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: of draft capital that the Clippers would have to attach

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: to sweeten any deal where they would swap a twenty

122
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: six year old Garland for a thirty six year old

123
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: in Harle. So let's talk about the actual Harden going

124
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: to the Calves for Garland from both sides? Does it

125
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: make any sense for either squad? Do you like it

126
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: for one more than the other. What do you think

127
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: about that part? I don't know.

128
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: I think the best thing you can say about James

129
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: Harden in comparison to Darius Garland is that Harlan is

130
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 3: that hardened, plays like Darius Garland is always banged up.

131
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: It's been quite notable this season with both of his

132
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: toes going bad, both of his big toes going bad.

133
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: But throughout his career it's one thing or another, his

134
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: bank keeping him off the court player wise, Like I'll

135
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: take Harden over Garland, but I think it's pretty close.

136
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: Like Harden is bigger.

137
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: Than Darius Garland, he rebounds better, but they're both not

138
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: really good defenders. I think everyone knows that Harden's pretty

139
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 3: unreliable in big playoff moments. So is Darius Garland. He

140
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: hasn't done anything in the playoffs. I think he's kind

141
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 3: of a faller for being quite honest.

142
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

143
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: I think maybe just the fact that Harden is going

144
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: to be on the court is good for the Clippers

145
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: or for the Cavaliers, and maybe most importantly, playing with

146
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: Harden is more exciting for Donovan Mitchell than playing with

147
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: Darius Garland. He's already done that. We've seen them not

148
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: be able to get out of the second round of

149
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs together. Maybe you can convince yourself that having

150
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: hardened alongside me is more threatening than Darius Garland. I

151
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 3: don't know, I mean, I don't know. There's been nobody

152
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: in the media who's been a bigger hardened backer than me.

153
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: But it's his playoff failings are quite evident. Yeah, the

154
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: team with Garland has done nothing in the playoffs.

155
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: Either, fair, but the team with a reputation already of

156
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: underachieving and shrinking in the playoffs. I'm talking about the

157
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Cavs here. Over the last little bit. They want to

158
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: add James Harden to the playoff roster and try and

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: solve the problem with a guy that notoriously comes up short.

160
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: You know. Also, you know the idea of like then

161
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: having to pay James Harden at thirty six and you're

162
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: giving him another deal or is this like just a

163
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: rent And they want to get off of Garland's contract

164
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: because guy can't stay healthy. There's that part. They want

165
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: the draft capital. I'm assuming the Clippers don't want to

166
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: give up any This is just perplexing to me.

167
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this isn't quite what the Clippers were doing

168
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: kicking ass recently, but the Calves have been playing a

169
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: lot better recently in a good flow, so it would

170
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: be odd to add James Harten. I start looking at

171
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: that nice thing. I understand Darius Caleon's toes are not right,

172
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: he's not right, but I just find it hard to

173
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: put it all together that the Calves would actually make

174
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: this deal happen. I started to look at the Houston

175
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 2: Rocket situation. Maybe it's because I was watching them in

176
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and how they're just playing free throw basketball. Essentially,

177
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: they just need to go get offensive class. They need

178
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: a point guard. Now it all comes down to whether

179
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: Fred van Vliet is available to play later this season,

180
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: because they're going to go with that rock Emo Dolk

181
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: is going to roll with that guy. He's more than

182
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: just a point guard. He is their coach on the

183
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: floor essentially. He would be fantastic. I went to the

184
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: Fred van Vliet podcast. Have you hinted at possibly coming back?

185
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: He hasn't. That has nothing to do with anything. That

186
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: really has to do with is Fred van Vliet's health.

187
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: He also has veto power over the potential to leave,

188
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: So I start doing deals there and if they know

189
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: that Fred's not available, maybe maybe there's a deal there.

190
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: There's tons of deals that work. Fred van Vliet and

191
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: Steven Adams work. You want two injured guys there, you

192
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: go as simple as that. Adams throwing, Finney Smith and

193
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: Jabari Smith work. Fred van Veet plus Cappella plus Tarry

194
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: East and plus Jayshaun Tait works. There's lots of deals

195
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 2: that could work. But even there, I don't know why

196
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: they would move on from Fred van Vliet unless unless

197
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: they know that there's no chance he's coming back and

198
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: bring Harden and Durant together again.

199
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: What a world.

200
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: This is so so so strange. Yeah, the cat and

201
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: the Calves just set this up in some people's minds

202
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: with their tiny little deal that they did to go

203
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: get Dennis Shrewder and Kean ellis like maybe moving on

204
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: for money there to set up something else. But now they're,

205
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: you know, getting another guard. If this was the case,

206
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: they'd had six thousand point guards to essentually play with. Odd.

207
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: This whole thing is odd.

208
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: And then Darius Garland in theory going to the Clippers

209
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: obviously young talent, ten years younger than James Harden. Maybe

210
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Again, guy can't stay healthy, which is

211
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 1: a real knock on him, but he is signed through

212
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven twenty eight, and doesn't that run counter

213
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: to all we've been hearing about the Clippers wanting to

214
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: keep cap space past twenty six twenty seven. We've heard

215
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: that time and time again, so that counterintuitive to me.

216
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: But then maybe they're just like, Wow, he is a

217
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: good all star level player, not even in his prime yet.

218
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: And if we can get off of a guy who

219
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: sure sounds like he wants to be moved because we

220
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: know we're not going to pay him and he knows that,

221
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: then we can get something in return. So I can't

222
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: imagine though they would want to be touching these future

223
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: first round picks. That seems well to me a stretch.

224
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 3: I mean, haven't Garland under contract in twenty seven to

225
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: twenty eight. Isn't that big of a deal. The only

226
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: other guy under contract would be Zubots at that point,

227
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: so they would still have a ton of cap space,

228
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: and at least then they would have the nucleus of

229
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: a team, a pick and roll guard in Garland and

230
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: a pick and roll big in Zubots. Like you can

231
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: see how that actually is maybe more enticing than having

232
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: just zubots under contract. I also have to imagine that

233
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: Harden's next deal won't be all that more expensive than

234
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: Garland is signed for, so probably a wash for the

235
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: Calves at that sta at that point as well. But man,

236
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't trade the picks. That would be the thing

237
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: I would be the most worried about if I'm the Clippers.

238
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 3: But clearly they don't care about picks, so they just

239
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: want to sign guys.

240
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts on the timing of this?

241
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 2: All?

242
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: Like task got has started here because that it is

243
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: strange out of nowhere, suddenly the personal matters, the personal

244
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: reasons he's not around the team, And then we get

245
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: this just days before this dead light, Like why now

246
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: because it's not like he's been eligible for an extension

247
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: from the Clippers. Sure, so like, just what's your thinking

248
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: on this or conspiracy theory on this? He knows the

249
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: Clippers are toasts, so he's getting out, But it's so funny,

250
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: like the toast like when they were six and twenty one,

251
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: that wasn't the trade deadline yet, Yeah, I get yeah,

252
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: that's what I'm that's but you can always still ask

253
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: for a trade. That's so weird to me.

254
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but uh, you know, deadlines make people work harder.

255
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 3: So if you do it a couple of days ahead

256
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: of time, I'm going to get a deal done. And

257
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: it's not like the Clippers are going to do anything

258
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 3: this year. Best case scenario, they get into the play

259
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 3: in tournament, win, they're way to number eight and have

260
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: to get smoked by the thunder of the first.

261
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, okay, yeah, you know you could be optimistic

262
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 2: and say they're going to be in the playoffs and lose,

263
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: you know, more than a play Yeah, that's more than

264
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: the plane. Yeah, especially, but I understand this whole idea

265
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: of timing.

266
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 3: Now.

267
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: There are reports that this has been happening for weeks

268
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: in terms of behind the scenes. While Lawrence Frank was

269
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: signing his four year extension, he was also talking to

270
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,359
Speaker 2: other teams extension.

271
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's just got an extension.

272
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: There's so much happening there.

273
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why.

274
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 3: Maybe Harden's like, I gotta deal this guy for another

275
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: four years, like Lord's friend.

276
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, what a strange scenario. Yeah, it's so strange

277
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: for the Cats. I understand Garland hasn't been a lead

278
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I understand he has been hurt this year.

279
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago he was also banged up.

280
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: He did play a lot of games the year in

281
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: between last season. But you're taking your chance on James Harden.

282
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Harden is a better player than Garland, that's

283
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: the main thing.

284
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 2: But he's and plays I yes, I know you're rolling

285
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: with a thirty seven year old. I mean he'll be

286
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: thirty seven soon rather than Garland. To give him a

287
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: shot again because they're playing better too, and I know

288
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: Garland's been in and out of the lineup. Just totally odd.

289
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that Cleveland is still trying to like

290
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: shed salary here to like get out of the second Apron,

291
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: but that's probably going to be Lonzo Ball, right. Yeah,

292
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: he effectively serves as an expiring deal. He'll likely be

293
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: moved to a team with cap space. Maybe he goes

294
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: to the Hornets and teams of his brother there just to.

295
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: Join the there. Yes, yeah, that's what makes sense.

296
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: But maybe James Harden in Cleveland, Maybe James Harden somewhere else,

297
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: Like I think he fits a lot better with the Rockets,

298
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: Like I think they could cover for him. On the

299
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: defensive end a lot more than Cleveland could so, but yeah,

300
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: you got a trade van vleet to do that basically,

301
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: and he has the power to say I don't want

302
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: to do that. I like to hear more. And maybe

303
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: there's other team that gets in the mix here. James

304
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: Harden back on the trade block. I love it. How

305
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: many emergency podcasts have we done for Harden?

306
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: I remember at this table man when he guys traded

307
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: from Brooklyn to Philly.

308
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: I definitely did as well. Yeah, yes, yeah, we probably

309
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: did one from Houston to Brooklyn. Oh yeah, that's awesome.

310
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Three at least we've done emergency podcast I mean him

311
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: and Duran. I guess we've done a few. Four as well.

312
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: There are guys. Thank you so much, so.

313
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: Much to James Hard. It's weird to imagine them though,

314
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: playing in Cleveland. Yeah, he's only been in glamour markets

315
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: since leaving okay, see, and Cleveland isn't glamorous. Yeah.

316
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can't really picture him even in the jerseys,

317
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: and they have a million jerseys, but tough to see

318
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: even him beside Mitchell is a weird just like it's

319
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: thought experiment.

320
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: James Harden and Cream Sickle Calves, Jersey Delicious.

321
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: Houston has a glamour franchise to you.

322
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of the big market titles and market.

323
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah right, it's a huge city. That's huge. It's the

324
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: fourth biggest l A.

325
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: And New York.

326
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: Well yeah, it's bigger than everything else except for Chicago.

327
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: It's big and uh, you know, does Cleveland seem like

328
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: the type of city James Harden is going to flourish in.

329
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: They have a casino? Okay, yeah, I don't know. J R.

330
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: Smith once upon a time said, no, it's actually great

331
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: here because there's nothing to do. Exactly, No, no, no,

332
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: not exactly, because James Harden's power comes from the street

333
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: clubs and the casinos and the party. You have it backwards, Yeah, exactly, exactly.

334
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: All right, we'll put a pin in James Harden news

335
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: for now. Sham's also reported yesterday that the Milwaukee Bucks

336
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: have begun sending counter offers to teams aggressively pursuing a

337
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: trade for Giannis ahead of this week's deadline. So four

338
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: teams have really emerged here. No, there are other teams

339
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: maybe getting in on the fun if they're a third

340
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: or fourth team. But the Miami Heat. The Minnesota Timberwolves,

341
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, and the New York Knicks are

342
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: among the teams strongly interested in the Greek freak. Again,

343
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: that's from Schams. Milwaukee is seeking either a blue chip

344
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: talent and or significant package of draft picks in return

345
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: for your honest. So we've talked a lot about the Warriors.

346
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: That hypothetical deal would be centered around a lot of picks,

347
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of picks. The Heat, they

348
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: got the combination right of maybe more young players. Maybe

349
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: the young prospect is Khalil Whare, Tyler herro of what

350
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: depends on your opinion to him, and then they have

351
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: picks to the Knicks. Is very confusing because it's like

352
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: they'd have to just do so many other things and

353
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: get so many other teams involved. But let's talk a

354
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: little bit about the Wolves, because they, like the Knicks,

355
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: don't have draft capital, so they'd have to probably go

356
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: get third and fourth teams to get that sort of

357
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: stuff included, and then you can get into the players

358
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: that would go out. What do you think about the

359
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Wolves suddenly throwing their name into the honest sweepstakes here?

360
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: I think Tim Connolly is always making calls. He's always

361
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: been an aggressive front office conductor. He just always has

362
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: and he's done a great job with Denver. So I

363
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 2: think that's what it all stems down to. It comes

364
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: down to and listen, it's Monday night on trade deadline

365
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: week and you just got to talk about something. I

366
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 2: think that's what it comes down to. I don't know

367
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: if Minnesota is going to be the team. It doesn't

368
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: feel right. It just feels like we're spurring some conversation

369
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: about where Yannis is going to land. Essentially, I don't

370
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: know if the Warriors pick or excuse me, the Warriors

371
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: package can be beat, but I'm not sure if the

372
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: Warriors want to do that right here, right now either.

373
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 2: I mean, that deal would be Butler Kaminga and those

374
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 2: picks that we're talking about. But are they going for

375
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: the championship here with Curry Giannis and I leave a

376
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: huge blank because the third the third player is Brandon

377
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: Pajemski or do they are they smarter and just wait

378
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: for the off season where they may know that Jamie's

379
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: coming back next season they may be offered offer something

380
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: even bigger, just like the Bucks may be able to

381
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: get something bigger. So I think this is all it's

382
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 2: all chatter. I don't I don't see the Wolves getting

383
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: there to what the Warriors can really offer.

384
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: I'm surprised to see the Wolves getting so much buzz

385
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: because they have to do so much to even really

386
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: get into the mix for it. But according to Sam

387
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: amic Over at The Athletic, if they're willing to include

388
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 3: Jaden McDaniels, that puts them in the lead, uh for

389
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: getting Yanis. But also wouldn't every other team in the

390
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: league realize that if we're getting involved in this trade,

391
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: we're helping the Warrior, helping the Wolves get Yanis.

392
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So that's odd to me.

393
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: But you read Shaan's report and it says the talks

394
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: have started to progress, the Bucks are actively engaging, So

395
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, Oh, this is going to happen. And then

396
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: you read a Bontempsid Windhorse report and they're like, it's

397
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: probably not going to happen until the summer. So it's

398
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 3: really hard to figure out what's going down. I lean

399
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: towards it's going to happen. Just so much buzz right

400
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: now and so many teams chasing that somebody is going

401
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: to be willing to It's not an overpay because this

402
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: is Yannis we're talking about, But somebody's going to be

403
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: willing to do everything to get Yanis, and if that happens,

404
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 3: I think it just makes more sense for the team

405
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 3: to be done with a year long trade saga.

406
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

407
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: As far as the Warriors team here, if it's Giannis

408
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 2: Curry and Brandon Pajemski and Moses Moody and Anthony Melton

409
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: and Al Horford and Quinton Post and Buddy Healed that

410
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 2: they're running forward with this postseason, you think they can

411
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: win with that?

412
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: I like their chances.

413
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 3: They got at conference finals at least, and then they

414
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: got a chance. Who knows what happens by then.

415
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the front office. That's Mike dune Leevy saying,

416
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: all right, our future is done. We're going for it

417
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: right here, right now.

418
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: Their future is done.

419
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they don't really have much of a

420
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: future when Curry's gone, So getting Janis would be good

421
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: for the future, I think.

422
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, in part. Yeah, but if it's costing every single

423
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: one of their draft picks, I.

424
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: Think they should trade those draft picks regardless.

425
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: I think they should have been aggressive trading these picks

426
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 3: even before Jannis was on the table.

427
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: They sort of help the help out Steph Curry.

428
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Yea.

429
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: They have said though that they you know, of course

430
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: they're going to say this because they didn't do anything

431
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: with them. But like, we've kept all of these draft picks,

432
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: these future draft picks and pick swaps because we're waiting

433
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: for someone like Yiannis to come available that then we

434
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: can come over the top and really wow a team

435
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: and get them. So that's why Warriors fans are like, Okay,

436
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: you've been saying you've been saving them for this. Curry

437
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: is still elite, so do it. I know ESPN had

438
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: a hypothetical trade where the Warriors would get Giannis and

439
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: Miles Turner and it would take Jimmy Butler the third,

440
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: even though Mike dunleavy says, we're not trading Jimmy Butler

441
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: the third, kaminga Pojemski and then three or four first

442
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: round picks and then like the twenty and thirty one

443
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: pick swap. There so a lot of draft capital and

444
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: then maybe Potjemsky goes out and you get your big

445
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: in Turner. That's another one.

446
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes more sense that one with the third

447
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: team being the Raptors getting involved. I didn't like that

448
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: ESPN offer at all. How does that make any sense

449
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: for the Raptors to get Jaden McDaniels but have to

450
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 2: give up two first round picks and RJ Barrett?

451
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: What well they got Cole Anthony out of it too, may.

452
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: Cole Anthony has not been able to play this year yet,

453
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: that's been very confusing. Or maybe the Bill Milwaukee Bucks

454
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: are able to turn their one draft pick into a

455
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: good player and they keep Jannis. Not dead, Ta tass,

456
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: that's not dead. I'm just saying it agrees.

457
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: With you that it happens. Maybe in the summer Gannest traded,

458
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: but you're now still holding on to hope that Joannest

459
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: it's not is a buck for.

460
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: Like likely anything's James Arden just demanded a trade from

461
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 2: a team that was fifteen to three in their last eighteen.

462
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 2: Anything can happen. I mean, Luka, Doncic got traded a

463
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: year and a day ago. Anything can happen.

464
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: The Heat package, which we've talked about before, the Heat

465
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: get Jannis And again, maybe this was pat Riley pumping

466
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: the brakes on any sort of John Morant deal because

467
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: like whoa, whoa, whoa. Maybe we can get y honest,

468
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: what would it take Tyler Hero could take Terry Rozier's contract.

469
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: We think now he's getting paid that twenty six million dollars.

470
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: In theory, it could be dealt I think khalil ware,

471
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: like I said, as sort of like the prize young

472
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: prospect twenty twenty nine and thirty one first round picks

473
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: and then a twenty thirty swap. Though we just come

474
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: back to if you wait until the summer, more draft

475
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: capital could be included. And that's why the Bucks, you know,

476
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: they have all these reasons just to like sure, make

477
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: all these calls, make all these counteroffers, but like still,

478
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: you just can do more things in the summer, and

479
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: you probably get more in the summer after teams disappointing

480
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs and after there's more picks involved, and it's

481
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: just easier to make these deals. So we will see.

482
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: But you think it happens, yeah, all right. Do you

483
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: think it's the Warriors or the Heat Yeah?

484
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: I do, because I think like you're saying, and like

485
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 3: has been reported, during the summer, it becomes a lot

486
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: easier for other teams to get involved, which means that

487
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: for the Warriors and the Heat right now, it's on

488
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: them to put everything they have into the deal. And

489
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: I think if that's the case, I think the Bucks

490
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: could say yes. And I mean, I'm not the biggest

491
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 3: Khalil wear fan, but if the Heat, we're willing to

492
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: put him on the table, like he's the best young

493
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 3: blue chip talent that's been talked about in any of

494
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: these sort of things. Though, I do love the idea

495
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: of Draymond getting traded to the Bucks and then declining

496
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: his player option for next season, just going.

497
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: Back to the Warriors. Yes, after the year. That would

498
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: be hilarious if that happens. And then we're hearing Damian

499
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: Lillard's trying to recruit you honest to the Blazers. What

500
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: we're saying, it went so well the first time, Yeah,

501
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: do it out west though we weren't on the West coast,

502
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're come here where it's way harder. Yeah

503
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: to win. Yeah we have a worse team. You still

504
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: think this is a summer deal because really we're now

505
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: at the point, does this happen on Thursday or does

506
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: it happen in June? I mean, and maybe Task is

507
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: the lone person in the world side.

508
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 2: I'm throwing it out there, yeah, because I think that

509
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 2: was the idea from the beginning of the season for

510
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: John Horse and the Bucks front office, because they want

511
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 2: to look forward for the Milwaukee Bucks organization. I get that,

512
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: and that's why I think it doesn't happen until the summer,

513
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: because they can get more back freeannis there will be

514
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 2: more teams involved, and so I think that's that's where

515
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: we're headed here.

516
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: Okay, let's hear from the people in the stream team

517
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: Thursday or June. Let's get the poll going.

518
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 3: I think Wednesday night, okay, Okay, just to be specific,

519
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: emergency pod, Wednesday night.

520
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: Okay. Make sure you're not doing anything. Anybody going to

521
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: see movie on a Wednesday night? No, nope? What about

522
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: you birthday parties? Nothing? No good?

523
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: No? All right, I'll.

524
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: See in the stream.

525
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: But I guess we've got to stay up late.

526
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: All right, that's the call night.

527
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: What is the night? Qualify as it seems like stuff

528
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: is happening at like midnight.

529
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: You know, yeah most of the time. If it doesn't

530
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: happen before eleven pm Eastern, I'll see you in the morning.

531
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: Anything before that, I'll see in the yard. From eleven

532
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: to one, am, I will see you in the shed.

533
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: There you go. All right. We had some basketball last night.

534
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: One really fun game was the Hornets coming back from

535
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: twenty two to beat the Pelicans to extend their wind

536
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: streak to seven straight. That's right, Charlotte Hornets are so

537
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: hot right now. Did have a scary moment early in

538
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: the game, which will show everybody on YouTube. Lamello Ball

539
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: collided with his head coach Charles Lee as he tried

540
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: to chase down an errant pass out of bounds, and

541
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: Lee went for the ball too, and they just smoteads.

542
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: I've watched this clip like fifty times and I WinCE

543
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: every single time. LaMelo did sort of leave the game,

544
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: got the cut fixed up, came back and then had

545
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: a great game. And like I said, the Hornets came

546
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: back to get the victory.

547
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: Here, yeah, and Charles Lee getting in the way from

548
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: LaMelo Ball saving the ball. That would have been a

549
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: great safe it. Sure, I felt like la Milo had

550
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 2: a chance at that, but he came back pretty soon after.

551
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: He handled it well. Then going into the second half,

552
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: they were down double digits and LaMelo started shooting those

553
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: threes early in the second half and they were off. Yeah,

554
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: well maybe he's not right, maybe something going on there,

555
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 2: but he was playing through it, and the Hornets played

556
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: through at Brandon Miller just lit up. He was going off.

557
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: He had the Conko Nipple triple start going mussa diabat,

558
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: grabbing boards, the crowd going moves, and they got them

559
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 2: into the game. And then the second unit came on.

560
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 2: Everybody helping out, I mean, the Calc Brenner defense. Everything

561
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: going perfectly for them, and then LaMelo took it to

562
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: the rim a little bit, hit those two shots early

563
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Can Nipple making things happen. So

564
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: they got it all done. They got it done to

565
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: it in just a second half, big fight, big big

566
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 2: second half for them.

567
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, defensively showed up in the second half in a

568
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: game they couldn't hit three to sort of save their life.

569
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: There wasn't too many made, though Grant Williams did hit

570
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: two sort of timely ones. I thought Grant Williams was

571
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: the best game for him since coming back from injury sixteen.

572
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: Good for them since coming back.

573
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: Yep, But you're hanging in the air, you see that

574
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: time he's hanging in the here and made it pass.

575
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: I didn't see that happening at all.

576
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: Uh. My first takeaway is that LaMelo needs to play

577
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: in a cage. He stepped on fans feet multiple times,

578
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 3: injured his ankles, and was out for huge chunks of

579
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 3: last season, and now he's running into his own coach.

580
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: This guy's some fencing.

581
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 3: That was hold on. That was all on Charles Leave. Yeah,

582
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 3: don't but if he if he's behind a fence, it

583
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 3: would have never happened. Okay, So we need to get

584
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 3: the Cagers back out there. I did like LaMelo cooking

585
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: switches in the fourth quarter. I think part of the

586
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: reason he's able to get to the rim is because

587
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: he chucks so many threes three for fourteen but five

588
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: for six inside the lane.

589
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: They took the lead on that big time Dunky had.

590
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 3: That was awesome. Also, I thought this was good from

591
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: Eric Collins on the broadcast. He said, it's going to

592
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: be a Hornet's party tomorrow. Eastern Conference Coast of the Month,

593
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 3: Charles Lee Eastern Conference Player of the Month, take your pick,

594
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month, Kanka Nipple. I think

595
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 3: he's probably right. They will get rookie rookie for sure.

596
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 3: They will get coach for sure, player of the month.

597
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: Take your pick who's the player? Which player you're picking

598
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 3: from the Hornets?

599
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: Do you think it goes to a Hornet player?

600
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 3: Why would they not just decide to honor them for

601
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: having a great month.

602
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: Because there's probably better months, but probably Brandon. Yeah. Yeah.

603
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: Twenty two to five and three for Brandon Miller in

604
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 3: the month of January, plus eleven points per one hundred

605
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: possessions LaMelo seventeen four and seven and con eighteen six

606
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: and four.

607
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: They're all good. But I do think the reason that the.

608
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: Hornets have taken a step forward is that Brandon Miller

609
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: has taken a step forward as well. His handle is better.

610
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 3: He's most importantly able to stay on the court right now,

611
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: but he gets to his spots and he's able to

612
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: be a really good shooter. It only went seven to

613
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: twenty one last night, but made some big plays I

614
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: thought in the second half, and the Hornets won a

615
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 3: game in which they didn't play all that well. I mean,

616
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: that's pretty important.

617
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: You know.

618
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 3: Part of it is that the Pelicans love to blow

619
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: a lead, and maybe part of the reason there was

620
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: such a slow start for the Hornets is because they

621
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: never know when they're playing, you know, like they're going

622
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: to change the star times of all of their games.

623
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: Right now, del Curry, the Pelicans hit a three, and

624
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: del Curry says, first triple of.

625
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: The night or evening afternoon. That was pretty funny.

626
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 3: All these guys are like very confused about the time

627
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: of day. So understandable that they would start slowly. But

628
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: you can tell the Hornets are clicking right now and

629
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 3: they've got a lot of faith that if they play

630
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 3: their style of basketball, it's going to work out in

631
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: the end.

632
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: Broadcasters should just say the X of the game, first

633
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: three of the game instead of saying of the night.

634
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: You know, it's just it just doesn't work out a

635
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: lot of time. I think even air Colls, the great

636
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: Air Colls, he's great. I think, yeah, yeah, some rough moments.

637
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: Yesterday he said Ryan Kalchbrenner growing the mutton chops because

638
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: because he kind of looks like he does have sideburns,

639
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: but it's just his beard that doesn't doesn't really fill in,

640
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: so it just looks a little sparse.

641
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: What about Pat Conington's die job. I guess he lost

642
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: the fantasy football league and that was the rest what

643
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: it was. That's what I read.

644
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I noticed a bob.

645
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, and I noticed it during the game,

646
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, how long has he had that?

647
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: Did I miss this? And then it's like, no, it's recent.

648
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: It's a bad bade job. Yeah, it's a good punishment.

649
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 2: Just because it's not full on blonde.

650
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a weird color, very bras. Yeah, it

651
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: doesn't work on him. My only other notes from this,

652
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: I just love Musa diabate man. I sort of love

653
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: how he plays. I love how hard he sprints down

654
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: the floor right to the middle of the paint. And

655
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: it's a small thing and it's obviously something most big

656
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: should do, but like not a lot of them do

657
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: it in this league because obviously you got to like

658
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: put a little effort into it, and it just opens

659
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: up things for other guys, like just cavit I screamed

660
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: to the front of the rim collapses the defense, They

661
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: just naturally come in because you want to take that away,

662
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: and it opens up some of these three point shooters

663
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 1: a couple times that worked in their favor when they

664
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 1: were sort of in semi transition. So I love that.

665
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: And then cal Brenner did have a good game too.

666
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: I have sort of like this crazy mix of Diabatte

667
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: as a smaller center, and even On James started playing

668
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: in the center position at times, and then the big

669
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: big Calcbrenner just a monster of a dude.

670
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 2: He's a huge, kind of.

671
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: The biggest T shirt on underneath that jersey going Holy crab,

672
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: it's going past his elbows. So it's working this, uh

673
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: sort of you have both options here for Charles Lee.

674
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is phenomenal. It's phenomenal to hear the crowd

675
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: yell Moose anytime Moose idea about it does anything. But yeah,

676
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 2: calc Brenner literally being able to alter Zion Williams and

677
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: flying at the rim like cal Brenner is a huge

678
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: Along with Seon James, there's yeah, they got the fighters

679
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 2: in that second unit along with Grant Williams. They got

680
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: the fighters in the scoring conseext and it's all led

681
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: by their stars. And their stars are now Brandon Miller,

682
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: which is ought to say, but he looks so good

683
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: when he's playing basketball.

684
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: An underrated, super sweaty guy. Brandon Miller checked out out. Yeah,

685
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: I believe high oh Man, super super sweaty. Yeah, they're

686
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: clicking right now. Now it's going to get a lot

687
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: more difficult. The Hornets next six games sort of a

688
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: weird schedule. Rockets, Hawks, Pistons, Hawks, Rockets, Calves. Okay, tough.

689
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: So the two Hawks games, those are interesting because they're

690
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: obviously chasing them down in the play in. And then

691
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: some really good teams, like I said, the Rockets twice,

692
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: the Pistons, the Calves. So you know, good thing, you

693
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: got this seven game win streak, and see how how

694
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 1: long you keep it going. But this, I mean, I

695
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: think they're losing one of these games in this much.

696
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: These are some good teams. Other games. Last night, Schenguon

697
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: scored thirty nine to help overcome the Rockets missing Kevin Durant.

698
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: They just beat the Pacers one eighteen one to fourteen.

699
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: Grizzly snapped a six game losing streak with it went

700
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 1: over the Timberwolves. Maybe all those trade rumors got in

701
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: their heads. And then Maxi sworwed twenty nine. He had

702
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of three seventy six ers beat the Clips.

703
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: Any notes, well, watching that Rockets Pacers game was hard

704
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 2: in that fourth quarter after shng Guon got into it

705
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 2: with Benedict Mather in there. They had a little push off,

706
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: a little double tech. The refs were they were whistling everything.

707
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: They just didn't want to get it, let it get

708
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 2: out of control. The Rockets shot twenty free throws in

709
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. That's a lot of free throws. And

710
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: I had so many anytime Shangoon went down. I mean

711
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 2: you had a little lefty hook where he fell and

712
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 2: they said, ohh yeah, that's a foul. It was not

713
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: a foul. They just missed plenty of calls. They were

714
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: overblowing it. And the Pacers, you know, had to throw

715
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: so many different centers at shang Gun. They threw three

716
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: of them at huff as Aa Jackson Micah Potter who

717
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: forced to miss and yelled, let's go. You could hear

718
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,239
Speaker 2: him on the mic as they tried to go at him.

719
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: But the Rockets they always go, you know, despite not

720
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: having Kevin Durant and out without Fried van Vleet. You

721
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 2: could see it. I mean, they just need to go

722
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: grab their misses, and they grabbed nineteen of them. They

723
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 2: grabbed and had twenty nine second chance points off those

724
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 2: nineteen offensive rebounds, and that was the story. But Pacers

725
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: fought hard. They fought hard, but it was a battle

726
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: in that fourth quarter that was kind of hard to watch.

727
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how long that time time spent Forever,

728
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 2: it took a long time. Ever that fourth Q must

729
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: have been forty minutes, I'd guess. I don't know.

730
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirteen fouls for the Pacers centers, and I have

731
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: to imagine they were all on trying to guard shng

732
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 3: Gun because he was just putting them in the basket

733
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 3: every single time. It was like watching Charles Barkley in

734
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 3: the nineties. He was posting up on the wing. All

735
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: four other teammates were standing on the other side. They're

736
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: just like, Shegun, push him underneath the hoop until you

737
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 3: can shoot a hook shot. We just talked about Jared

738
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: Allen having a forty point game in dribbling ten times.

739
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 3: I think Sgun was taking a minimum of ten dribbles

740
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 3: everything time touched the ball with no kd out there. Man,

741
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: he is clunking up the offense. But it was working

742
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 3: and he played tough and when he feels he has

743
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 3: a strength advantage, you can really feel it out there.

744
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: So fun game to watch. Sort of if he liked

745
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: basketball in the nineties. It was fun.

746
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Huff got into foul trouble obviously, so

747
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: they started going to other guys in Isaiah JACKX was

748
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 2: playing him well. I mean he poked him late. What

749
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: was it like forty five seconds left. That was a

750
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: nice poker, nice rip. So they're playing hard. It's fun

751
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: to watch Pacers games at home as well. I mean

752
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: they scrapped right to the last whistle yep.

753
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: And then any other notes on on the Grizzlies win.

754
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: Are the Clippers losing to the Sixers they're at home?

755
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Clippers seemed to be affected by the hardened surprise

756
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: trade request out of nowhere eighteen to two start for

757
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: the Sixers in this one, Clippers never got it under

758
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: ten points and it looked like bad Clippers from the

759
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: beginning of the season. Philadelphia had fourteen offensive rebounds, twenty

760
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 3: eight second chance points, and scored twenty two points off

761
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 3: of turnover. So two and oh, I guess for Philadelphia

762
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: with Paul George being suspended, We'll talk about Barlow later.

763
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 3: He was awesome in this one. So it was just

764
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 3: a good win for the for the Sixers. The other

765
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: thing I noticed in this one is at the end of.

766
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: The first half.

767
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: Uh embiid gets the ball inbouted to him at like

768
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 3: the opposing free throw line, just turns and chucks the ball.

769
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 3: He threw it so far he threw it over the

770
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 3: shot clock, past the stanchion. The mop guy underneath was

771
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: like ducking out of the way because he was so scared.

772
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 3: It's worth going back and see him just how far

773
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: he chucks this thing. I mean, there was like point

774
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 3: seven seconds left, so he ain't gonna make it, but

775
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 3: because of the new heave rules, he at least let

776
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 3: him fly. And whoa, he just hauled off.

777
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 1: Man, that was crazy. Might need a cage install cage

778
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: them all up, all right.

779
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 2: One other thing to note from that game. Quentin Grimes

780
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: dunk on John Collins.

781
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: So that's nice.

782
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, John Collin's gonna have some nice tape of getting

783
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: dunked on when it's all said a lot. Yeah, Anthony

784
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: Edwards the monster on him along with Quinton Grimes. It's

785
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 2: got to be some other ones as well.

786
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a break and when we

787
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna draft the two American All Star

800
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 1: bets for you, guys from a guy that fairly watches

801
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: NFL football. Let's go all right. First one, the team

802
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: that scores last wins the game. I'm going with no

803
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: at plus one sixty. Okay, okay, So there's gonna be

804
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: some sort of lead here, obviously, and then the team

805
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: trailing is gonna score and that's never gonna be enough.

806
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: They're never gonna get back into it. Okay. Will there

807
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: be a defensive special teams touchdown? I'm going with yes

808
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: at plus two thirty five.

809
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: Great odds.

810
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, somebody's picked six to the house. Yeah,

811
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 1: that's what they say. Is that? Okay? Good say that?

812
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: All right? Final one total individual scorers. The line is

813
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: set at four and a half. Give me the over

814
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: at plus one hundred. I got five different people scoring

815
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Field gold doesn't count. Field gold does. Okay, Yeah,

816
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Yeah, but that's I mean, it sounds

817
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: like a lot. But then you know, you just gotta

818
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: spread it out a little bit. You gotta spread out

819
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: a little bit.

820
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm taking a lot of nerves in the first

821
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 2: cord and no one ever scorers in the first chord?

822
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: Oh is that true?

823
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

824
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: Basically okay, So those are my three bets.

828
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: in bonus bets if you win. So, whether you're back

829
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: in the favorite, riding the underdog, or building one last

830
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: same game parlay, make it count. Because after the Super Bowl,

835
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: shared our takeaways on yesterday's podcast, But the final piece

836
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: of the puzzle is to figure out on hell are

837
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: these teams going to be divided. NBC says the three

838
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: rosters for the All Star Game will be announced tonight,

839
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: but as always, no Dunk's going to beat them to

840
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: the punch. So we're gonna draft those American teams in

841
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 1: a second. But just before we went live, the jerseys

842
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: were shared on social media. Will show them to everybody

843
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Here they are. We got two USA jerseys,

844
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: of course I was right, Stars on the red jersey,

845
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: stripes on the blue one for the Team USAS and

846
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: then the team World All Stars got the got the

847
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: white joints there. Yeah, yeah, actually don't mind these.

848
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

849
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: I like the font I like the All Stars fonts,

850
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: and I also think that the World one looks eerily

851
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: like a Slovenian national team managers. It does a lot.

852
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: The colors there, yes, and if I'm not mistaken, Luka,

853
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: Doncic is a Jordan Brand endorsement. You are right they

854
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: would pick his team's colors. That's unusual to me. I think, Uh,

855
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: there's a report too or whatever the news is. This

856
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 1: isn't a surprise. They will have like your flag will

857
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: be on the back of your jersey sort of what

858
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: your name plate is or above it. So it's cool,

859
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: nice little touch. But what do you think of these?

860
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I think they're solid. Yeah, I mean we've.

861
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: Seen some shitty ones over the last couple of seasons

862
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: where they've been just downright boring. Well, they're just like

863
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: I can they were we uh, we were thumbs down

864
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: on a lot of them. I think these ones are

865
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: more like all right, at least there's a little flair here.

866
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: The Red Ones really good. Yeah, yeah, they pop.

867

Speaker 1: Then you get a little tiny bit.

880
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: Worried about respect.

881
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: Respect.

882
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he always.

883
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: Respect to these guys, especially if you're an All Star

884
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: LAS All Star. Yeah, come on, should count for something.

885
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we respected Jalen Brown when he went in. Oh yeah,

886
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 2: you know, because he was the biggest name. This is good,

887
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 2: But we do need a smally.

888
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, we need a high flyer. These guys

889
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: can't sh up. I can't.

890
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: But I'm going I'm gonna move during up though on

891
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: my draft for just because of this. Oh wow, okay,

892
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: yeah he is an American. Yeah, he will be drafting here. Okay,

893
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: so we know that task is going to be team.

894
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: Stars because you got the stars on here, and you're

895
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: going to be team Stripes because you got some stripes

896
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: on it, and we've got the American colors. I love it.

897
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: But we need to decide who's going to draft first.

898
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: So I've got a trivia question for you guys, and

899
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: it's got to do with the Winter Olympics, and hopefully

900
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: this is one where we can sort of go back

901
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: and forth, a process of elimination until one man, either

902
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: stars or stripes, can no longer answer. Guys, can you

903
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: name the most decorated nations in Winter Olympic Games history?

904
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: So I'm looking for the top ten highest total medal counts. Okay, okay,

905
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm going to give you two of them

906
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: in advance, because it's sort of like, you know, could

907
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: be confusing. The Soviet Union is sixth and Russia ranks tenth,

908
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: So we can just take those two off the board

909
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 1: of the top ten most medals in Winter Olympic Games history.

910
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: Will start with you, and we'll just go back and

911
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: forth on the list here until somebody can't name one

912
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: or gets one incorrect test.

913
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 2: Have a go China, Nope, Nope, Silver Okay. I thought

914
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 2: they impressed enough to be in the top ten. Yeah,

915
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 2: you don't need them.

916
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: I spent I spent like twenty minutes playing all this.

917
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: It's sober in ten seconds.

918
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 2: Why do you need twenty minutes to type in top

919
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: ten Olympics Winter Olympics.

920
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: Man takes interesting actually not a bad pick, but a

921
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 1: little surprising.

922
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 2: No, No, my question is why does it take ten minutes?

923
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating it took a little bit of time to

924
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: put in my notes the top ten teams, the top.

925
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: Ten nations, Norway, the United States, Germany, Canada, Norway.

1086
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: You know I like that? Yeah, No, I like that. Okay,

1087
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: we have drafted our Stars and Stripes are two American

1088
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: All Star teams. Team Task. Let me give it to you.

1089
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: You did have the second pick overall you went with.

1090
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 1: You have Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brown, Anthony Edwards, Scottie Barnes,

1091
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,760
Speaker 1: Devin Booker, Karl Anthony Towns, Chet Holmgren and Norman Powell.

1092
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: All right, your reaction to your team, it's all on ant.

1093
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: Really, it's all on.

1094
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 1: It Okay, Trey Stripes, you have. You got some OJ's

1095
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: on this squad. You got Steph Curry, you got Kate Cunningham,

1096
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Jalen Johnson, Donovan Mitchell,

1097
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: and Jalen Duran. Good looking team. Good looking team. I

1098
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: think on paper a lot of people would be voting

1099
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: for Stripes over Stars. But we will see, and we'll

1100
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 1: see how it shakes out tonight. We don't don't even

1101
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: know how they're doing it. I think they're just dividing it.

1102
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they're drafting to chop it up.

1103
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 3: I think so how about they match each guy up

1104
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 3: with who they think is their best counterpart, and they

1105
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 3: have to do paper rock scissors right before the game

1106
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 3: winners and losers.

1107
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't mind it.

1108
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 3: I mean, like Katie and Lebron, you guys paper rock scissors,

1109
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 3: Oh rock.

1110
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: Katie, you win. When we do pick up pops. Sometimes,

1111
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: if we got a lot of guys, we'll do the

1112
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: all right match up with like your equivalent out here.

1113
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,919
Speaker 1: I like, I don't mind that idea. It'd be fun

1114
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: just to see like who matches they think they like

1115
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: Lebron and Durant would have to be matched up. Then like,

1116
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: I guess who's matching up with Curry? And okay, sure, sure,

1117
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: and then Kid's probably matching up with like a Brunson

1118
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: or a Maxi.

1119
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 3: I would think, sure, you got a Matchupen versus Jalen

1120
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 3: have to what about right?

1121
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: You're right? Hey, well it could be a fun way

1122
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: to do it. We'll find out tonight how those teams

1123
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 1: shake out. Thanks for playing, and thanks for like sort

1124
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: of getting to the trivia after because I did put

Speaker 1: the most.

1129
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why it's in my head. Is a top

1130
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:28,160

00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: Miami Ohio. It's a school I always hear of because

1136
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: I'm always perplexed. Huh, Miami Ohio what I remember when

1137
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: I was younger that was so confused. But yeah, the RedHawks,

1138
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: I think they're still twenty two.

1139
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 2: And oh oh he said they're twenty and oh. I

1140
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 2: put a lot of work into this. I checked what

1141
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 2: the record is now twenty two and oh now yeah, yeah,

1142
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 2: because you've resent this in when they're twenty and oh

1143
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 2: but they're still unbeaten and they're still ranked.

1144
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Just they were like they think they went up

1145
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 1: a spot in the ap pole. They're like twenty third

1146
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, Okay, got the Buffalo Bulls tonight, RedHawks versus Bulls.

1147
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: So this team's in the MAC. I believe this looks

1148
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: like a mid American conference. That's the MAC. Okay, Okay,

1149
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 1: great good Anya Wally's Erbiak. I didn't know he played

1150
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: for them. It's a good little trivia question put in

1151
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: the back of the NuGet pocket it when I don't know.

1152
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: Pierre from numbers on the board asked me, Hey, what

1153
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: gold of Wally's erbiak goes too. I'll see Miami, Ohio. Okay,

1154
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: apologies to Alprinchen gun. He had a monster game for the Rockets.

1155
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean thirty nine, a lot of rebounds. We were

1156
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: given last night's wee boy to Sixers big man Dominic Barlow,

1157
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: who scored a season or excuse me, career high twenty

1158
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: six points in Phillies win over the Clips, ten to

1159
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 1: sixteen from the floor, five of five from the charity stripe,

1160
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: so just lights out. When it came to efficiency game

1161
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: high sixteen rebounds, he had two steals also to assists.

1162
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: He had a block in thirty five turnover three minutes.

1163
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: So Dominic Barlow tk good old College Skyhawks guy, College

1164
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: Park Skyhawks guy. Yeah, he was awesome.

1165
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 2: He was.

1166
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 3: It looked to me like he was playing harder than

1167
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 3: everybody else on the entire court. Offensive rebounds, running the floor,

1168
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 3: doing them dunks.

1169
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: I mean he should be the corners.

1170
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 3: Well, he's got a funky release, Yes, he does, got

1171
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 3: like he almost like.

1172
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 1: Shoots it, hitting it with some consistency though, knocking it down.

1173
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: And he should be because he's a two way guy. Right, Yeah,

1174
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: he should be turned into a permanent yeah contract, I

1175
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: think he will be. Yeah, he's been good.

1176
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, it's great to see the guys that we

1177
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 2: watched in front of us. We keep talking about the

1178
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 2: life few days and vete Dominic Barlow.

1179
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need Kobe Buffkin to go off here. Where's

1180
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: he right now? He's on the Lakers.

1181
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 2: He was the Lakers G League. Yeah, but the G

1182
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,439
Speaker 2: League has changed, It's grown so much.

1183
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: Tonight's pick them. I'm already down one in February's battle.

1184
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: I've lost nine straight games. It's amazing. Can I get

1185
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 1: it to double digits? Where are we going?

1186
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 2: We're going to the game on NBC of course, free

1187
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 2: basketball over the air, free TV. You gotta do it.

1188
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 2: Boston at Dallas, a big line, Dallas getting seven and

1189
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 2: a half points at home, so Boston's gonna win by

1190
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 2: eight or more. I watched this also at five AM

1191
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 2: when I was putting this in this morning. It changed

1192
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 2: live changed. I went from eight down to seven and

1193
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 2: a half. So some money going on the Dallas Mavericks

1194
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 2: because it's a big line. Skeets and Trayer taking those points.

1195
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: Happy to ride with a lose by seven or less

1196
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 2: or outright win. Wow. I had to take the Celtics

1197
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 2: because you guys went in first. We just we cannot

1198
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 2: have three of the same.

1199
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: We haven't done it once all season long this season,

1200
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: so I guess it's like just literally an unwritten rule.

1201
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: We can't do it. I sort of like it a

1202
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 1: little variability. Yeah, yea, exactly. So all right, we got

1203
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: Dallas with some points, but you got Celtics win, might

1204
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: eat or more on the road you said on?

1205
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 2: All right?

1206
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: All right. Also, when it comes to my pick and

1207
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: payoff that I owe, we have decided I will pay

1208
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: that off during a portion of this Thursday's NBA Trade

1209
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: Deadline Special. The hint for your payoff for everyone will

1210
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: be slop. Okay, slop slop, because we're in slop season

1211
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: right now, and there'll be a slop angle to the

1212
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: payoff that I'll do for an hour or two during

1213
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 1: our super long trade deadline special that we're going to

1214
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: be on all day starting at ten am e string

1215
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: going all the way through to the buzzer of the

1216
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: deadline at three pm, and probably go past that. So

1217
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: we're just here all day, just ripping farts and talking trades,

1218
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: eating eggs. We're eating eggs too. Let's get like a

1219
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: dozen hard boiled Why not every time? Yeah, well, that

1220
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: is not the payoff. I do love eggs, but I

1221
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: don't like hard boiled eggs. Why, I don't know. I'm

1222
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: just taking over easy chockey choo little bit. Also, you know,

1223
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: my I don't love cold foods, so that's part of it.

1224
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean I eat them, I'll eat them in a pinch.

1225
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to Okay, yeah, half dozen. All right,

1226
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,960
