38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: the west side? Man, I'm doing good. I'm doing good,

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: man stretch second half of the season, Man, I'm excited

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: about this. Jack pushing p towards the playoffs. Let's touch

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: on that Western Conference first. What's team or teams do

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: you think benefit the most from CP three being down

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: for six to eight weeks. I gotta go with the Warriors.

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 1: They're getting healthy and I think this is a chance

45
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: to get the number one seed. You know a lot

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: of people talk about homecourt advantage is not that important,

47
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: but having the number one, see, there's a lot. It

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: means a lot, and having home court all the way

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: through the playoffs, especially in the Western Conference. I think

50
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: every team on the West Conference wants that. So for

51
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: them to be getting healthy and to be able to

52
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: gain some ground on Phoenix, why CP is hurt? I

53
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: think that's big for the Warriors to go out and

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: try to get a good field going into the playoffs.

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: I love this Phoenix team, but they go as far

56
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: as CP three takes them. Obviously, big fan of book

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: and what they're building over there, but CP is that leader,

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: in that voice, that calming sense, um when when needed

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: and um, you know, guys are still putting up nice numbers,

60
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: but it's just you know, with CP, is is so

61
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: much to that team that obviously his numbers are great,

62
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: but that that that the day to day fan doesn't see.

63
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: But who do I feel benefits the most? I just

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: think teams that are injured, that have important guys injured,

65
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: Golden State being one of them, um, Draymond Green and

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: Wiseman coming back. Um. And then Denver being another team

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: where Jokers had an incredible season numbers surpassed what he

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: had last year in his MVP season. Um, but he's

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: got Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. Coming back. Crazy

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: thing about it is Phoenix only needs to go five

71
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: d to be a sixty win team, which is which

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: is crazy. But also what worries me about Phoenix is

73
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: CP three has had had hand hand problems and you know,

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: he's broke this thumb, this is his second time. But

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: he's had other hand problems too. He had something clipped

76
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: uh in l A with me and the Clippers. So

77
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see, man, you know those hands

78
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: and and and how aggressive he is on defense and

79
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: the place he'd be making. Man, it'll be interesting to

80
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: see me and if if like I said, Phoenix has

81
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: a good shot to represent the Western Conference, but without

82
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: cp uh they don't go anywhere. So well, what about

83
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: eight and two? What about eight and two? He ain't

84
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: got paid? Yeah, this is still year. Still ain't got paid. Yeah,

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: this is his year, but you also got to think

86
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: like he more than anybody to me exactly but now,

87
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: but but I I don't say that disrespectful to me

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: Aiden and and he's played with a lot of and

89
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of big page I'm talking about CP.

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: But Aiden is the most skilled by far. I mean

91
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: he's got offense and defense, mid range, he can do

92
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: it all. But he just benefited and looked like it

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: was a whole different player when CP was out there

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: on the floor. Man. So definitely going into a contract

95
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: year for him. Uh, he needs that voice CP out there.

96
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, James Harden and Joel embed I want to

97
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: hear what you have to say first, um about this,

98
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: But there to a scary are the only being two

99
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: games a scary two games start? Yeah, definitely scary two

100
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: games start, um. And it was the right two teams

101
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Next to start off with, you know, perfect

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: two teams to get it to get a good feeling.

103
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: You know what it would it be in his first

104
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: two games? Definitely the nixt though, I gotta reiterate that.

105
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: But now Matt all bullshit aside, They look good, bro,

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: they look good. Um, I can't wait to see them

107
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: against the top tier Eastern Conference Western Conference team. But

108
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: they look good. We know what in be gonna do.

109
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Um definitely, you see the leading and be how he's

110
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: embraced it hard into the team, allowed him to come

111
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: in and be the player he's always been. And I think,

112
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, having Doc Rivers and staff him selling that

113
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: sideline is making that transition easier for them. They're gonna look.

114
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: They're looking good, man, They're gonna be there. Yeah. I mean,

115
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: people can say what they want about James when he's unhappy.

116
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: You know, some people say he handsled the situations wrong,

117
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: but we know when he's motivated, he's one of the

118
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: best players in the world. And and bead is having

119
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: been having an m VP season James since coming over

120
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: to averaging fourteen assists in high and rebounds. So when

121
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: this dude wants to play, he's one of the best

122
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: to do it. Something that sparks me with Philly is

123
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: I've kind of doubted them because Harris is not a

124
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: consistent third option, but I think the youngster Tyrese Maxie

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: has jumped into that third role. Third score, third consistent score,

126
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: but can also drop thirty for you young active. You know,

127
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: he handled the ball most of the season. He's slidding

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: over now and and and transition well with playing with

129
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: James Harden. And one thing Embat has been saying too

130
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: is playing with hard and he's never had so many

131
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: open looks. You know. Obviously embiad and and Simmons had

132
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: some work, you know, had some good runs, but James

133
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: Harden is clearly the best player and Beat has ever

134
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: played with. And he's just saying that is making his

135
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: game so much more open. You know, the James ability

136
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: to score and assist um scary. But I think Tobias Harris,

137
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, like we've been waiting on him. He

138
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: got all that money, We've been waiting for him to

139
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: be you know, they chose him over Jimmy Butler, Jack,

140
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And he hasn't really lived

141
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: up to it. But it's it's not bad now if

142
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: you have to have him as a fourth option, you know,

143
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: because he because he does have the potential to be

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: someone who could really score. Thoughts on Kyrie uh and

145
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: and and the nets hopeful uh that he'll be able

146
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: to be cleared. They had some new mandate that was

147
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: just dropped. But they said he can go to games

148
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: but can't play. Like what kind of ship does that make?

149
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna let it do go to a game

150
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: but not play, but then you're letting players from other

151
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: cities come in to New York and still play, but

152
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: Kyrie can't play. But let's speak to uh Kyrie the

153
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: way he's been playing big window the other night against

154
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks, and and the outlook for this team, um

155
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: coming into the stretch run. Well, first, let me say, um,

156
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: when you spoke on Tobias, Max, it can't be the

157
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: third leading score, but who's gonna guard the big three

158
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: guards and power forwards? Tobia's gonna to step his game,

159
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna have this season that they need to.

160
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: Max is a great small guard, but who's gonna guard

161
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Katie and the rest of these big guys? And b

162
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: can't do it all? Uh, they got to what I'm

163
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: calling not to cut you off? What's the young boys table?

164
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: He's he's uh, he's he's nice on the defensive And

165
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: I agree that Harris is definitely gonna have to step

166
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: on the up on the defensive end. But yeah, I

167
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: mean we've you know, we've been waiting, Like I think,

168
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, he is still the highest paid

169
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: player on that team. Man, It's just like damn, Like,

170
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: what's happening. Yeah, something got to change. But I'm but

171
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see that's a great possibility that Kylee

172
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: will be back on the court at home and away games.

173
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: You've seen what he means to Brooklyn. They went in

174
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and got a big win, you know, with Katie

175
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: and Sam is not even on the court, you know

176
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And Milwaukee had all they players, they

177
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: had their whole team. I'm pushing of Brooklyn. I actually

178
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: can get a good view of what this team gonna

179
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: look like when it all comes together. And if it

180
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: works out with Kyrie is playing all in all the

181
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: games and everybody's healthy back, you're gonna you're gonna see

182
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: a real dangerous team. And I I actually d m

183
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: and told Katie and Kyrie that that I can see

184
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: it all coming together. No, it's gonna be scary because

185
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: you gotta think. You know, this is the first time

186
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: k D and Kyrie play with the past first point guard,

187
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Kyrie has been a point

188
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: and made decisions, but all Ben wants to do is

189
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: get his teammates off paulse You mean he wants to

190
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: find his teammates and all their spots and he's gonna

191
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: lock down on d. So it's just like I'm excited.

192
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: I I still feel I still like Philly got the

193
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: best player in the trade, but I feel like Brooklyn

194
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: won the trade because they have so much depth. Now,

195
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, you get a start, you know, you get

196
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Seth Curry who's been shooting the ball well, and then

197
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: I think, uh, big fella is gonna play. Drummond is

198
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: gonna pay major dividends. Although it be is Is, you know,

199
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: had his way with him. I just think his depth

200
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: and size is really gonna help this team. So Katie

201
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: is days away, if not a week. Uh, Simmons is

202
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: probably about ten days. Took two weeks away. Um, But

203
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: when all these pieces come together, man, it's it's gonna

204
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: be a fun run, not only to watch them, but

205
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: again to continue to watch Philly run, Chicago get healthy. Miami.

206
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: Victor Olawadipo's on his way back from Miami. I forgot

207
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't even out there. Um this Eastern Conference, you

208
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: know the Bucks, it's gonna be a real fun run

209
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: down the stretch. On the radar presented by Draft Kings Jack,

210
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conferences tight one to six is separated by

211
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: four and a half games. UM. Here are the odds

212
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: on to win the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn Nets are plus

213
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: two seventy five, Milwaukee's at plus three thirty, Philly's at

214
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: plus three seventy, Miami at plus four seventy five. Boston,

215
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: who's kind of flown under the radar all season, but

216
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: it's playing been playing good basketball plus one thousand, and

217
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: the East in conference leader or there one or two

218
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: are plus twelve Hunter, that's the Chicago Bulls. So you

219
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: feel I mean we've touched on this a little bit.

220
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, right there, those are I probably say any

221
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: I think Boston in Chicago the two teams that I

222
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: don't have as much confidence in. UM, but any of

223
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: those top four teams, Jack can come out of the East.

224
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: How do you see the ash the East shaking down?

225
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come down to it was definitely

226
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: matters were seating, but I would like to see Brooklyn

227
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: and Philly in the Eastern Conference finals. Were Brooklyn taking

228
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference championship. That would be dope dope, dope jack.

229
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: A lot of big games coming up this week in

230
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. I'll run through them real quick and

231
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: then you tell me who you're most likely are excited

232
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: to see Heat at Bucks on Wednesday, Heat at Nets

233
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: on Thursday, with Katie and and and Simmons close to

234
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: returning Grizz at the Celtics Thursday. Celtics are twelve or

235
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: twelve and three over their last fifteam, like I said

236
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: a second ago, playing good basketball Bucks at Bulls Friday

237
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: and Sixers at Heat Saturday, and to close it off,

238
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Nets and Celtics, Kyrie back in Boston. Out of those games,

239
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: any of those games intrigue you, Yeah, I mean definitely, Um,

240
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: the Sixers Heat, that's gonna be a good game. But

241
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: the Nets and Celtics on Sunday, you could possibly have

242
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: everybody on the court that that game. So I'm looking

243
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: forward to see Kyrie back in Boston. But the possibility

244
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: of having everybody the old team back on the court

245
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: against Boston would have playing a hot Boston team would

246
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: be a good a good game to watch. Yeah, definitely,

247
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: I'm just looking forward to, like you said, everyone getting

248
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: back take a look of an upcoming episode. This week

249
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: on All the Smoke, we sat down with our brother

250
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Chandler Parsons enjoy. So, heading into free agency, you were

251
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: looking to possibly stay in Dallas. I'm guessing that's what

252
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: you wanted to do obviously. Yeah, and it didn't really

253
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: work out that way. You in going to Memphis another

254
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: nice deal. What was that experience like? So that was

255
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: I signed a three year deal in Dallas, but I

256
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: had a player option in the third year and talking

257
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: with Mark, talked with my agent, they said, listen, you played.

258
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I played good that year. You know, we went to

259
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They said, you can get a big deal

260
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of interest in you. So I'm like,

261
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: all right, great, I'll opt out of my player option

262
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: and he damn thing was like, basically, you're going to

263
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: get a max contract. And you know when he Dan

264
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: says that, I'm fine, I believe you. But Cuban wanted

265
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: me to opt into that third year because I had

266
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: had just had a knee surgery, I had my second one,

267
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: and I was still going into free agency, and so

268
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I didn't pick up my third year because Mark was like, look,

269
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: just opt in and improve yourself that you can play

270
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: and and then I'll sign I'll sign you to a

271
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: five year max the next year. And I'm like looking

272
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: at it, I'm like and it was like seventeen million,

273
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at him like he's telling me to

274
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: opt in now for seven team. But Dann Vegan, my agent,

275
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: telling me I got guaranteed like ninety five. Like I'm like, Mark,

276
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: if I was your son, Like, what would you what

277
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: would you tell him? Like? Would you tell me to

278
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: do this and take this guaranteed deal? And they knew

279
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: I had like they knew I had the knee surgeries, right,

280
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: And so that was crazy. And that's another crazy story

281
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: where I had to pitch meetings and I remember it

282
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: was Orlando and New York offered max deal's but like

283
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: two or three years. But the two big four ones

284
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: were Memphis Grizzlies and the Portland Trailblazers. And Paul Allen came,

285
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Dame came, Terry Stotts came, their front office came, and

286
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: we had a great meeting in Portland. And to be

287
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: honest with you, I was all in on Portland. I

288
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: was like, we can cancel the Memphis, Like I'm going

289
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: to Portland like this is play with Dame and c

290
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,359
Speaker 1: J like this, this is great, and I was like yeah.

291
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: So I was like all right, like I'm in JB.

Speaker 1: Bickerstaff and Fizz who are my family? They were he

293
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: had just got the head coaching job at Memphis. I said,

00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: to cut you off, but I got a good eye

339
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: for talent. Bro. Yeah you did, Bro. He's solid and uh,

340
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna educate a lot of people that don't have

341
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: education on who But I enjoyed it, Bro. I just

342
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: think the experience and and the education I had was

343
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: it was detrimental to my career, you know what I mean.

344
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean I the stuff I learned, the things I've

345
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: been through, the how I was forced to be a

346
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: man and a professional in a short time. Uh. That

347
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: that whole grinding and being around different players and from

348
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: different places, and being around veterans, you know, that being illegal,

349
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: it was just a gumball of everything you need as

350
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: a young player going into the league, you know, and

351
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: that being a part of a wink and winning the

352
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: organization just did that experience along was it was along

353
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: was a big reason why I had a fourteen year career.

354
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: Everything I learned that the real quick um as Pop

355
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: comes up on passing our former coach Don Nelson um

356
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: for the all time winning coach. I know you had

357
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: kind of an up and down relationship with Pop. Can

358
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: you speak to that real quick? Yeah, he basically made

359
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: my career and ruined it at the same time. You know,

360
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: gave me an opportunity to gave me an opportunity to

361
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: start on the championship team where I can make a

362
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: name for myself and have a long career. And when

363
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: I still had time left when I went back to him,

364
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: when I've been back to Sanintown, you cut me right

365
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,239
Speaker 1: before the playoffs, and you know how that looked at

366
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: the end of your career in any every team across

367
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: the league get cut right before the playoffs. So um,

368
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: but but the respect will always be there. Things happen, Uh.

369
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for the experience and to be able to

370
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: say I'm in Bait champion and I wouldn't have got

371
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 1: that without him. So he is a legend. He's one

372
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: of the best coaches ever. He's he's going to be

373
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: the winning's coaches ever, and uh, I can't wait to

374
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: congratulate him. Make sure you check out Forgotten Seasons this

375
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: week wherever you get your podcast man closing out Jack,

376
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers gets smacked by the Pelicans, broad watched. I

377
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: wanted to watch the Kanye I got done coaching the

378
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: Twins yesterday. I wanted to come home watch the Kanye duck,

379
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: but the Laker game was on ESPN, so I watched it,

380
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: and I really watched the whole game because I just

381
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: wanted to really see I mean able to catch a

382
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: whole game in a minute. That's a bad team, Jack. Yeah,

383
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: it's just the body language, you know. Just they don't

384
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: nobody's like they're playing for each other. I think one

385
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: thing about us, even when we was having games, when

386
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: we wasn't going to state we have games, we wasn't

387
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: playing well, we still played for each other. And they

388
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: got us out of that phone. The reason why they're

389
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: still in the funk is they're not playing for each other.

390
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: They are playing for self. They're trying to find somebody

391
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: to point the thing and I'm doing my job, but

392
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: he not all all this is going on. With the

393
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: talent you have, you can't blame it on a d

394
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: being out. You still have enough guys to go out

395
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: there and win games. Man, I just think, you know,

396
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: it's just it's just all going down here from the

397
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: way they tried to point every us, you know to

398
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: even with us taking the accountability, they still try to

399
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: throw it on him, And I think it's everybody is

400
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: accountable for the way this team has been playing all season.

401
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: This is just a loaded situation, and you know, everything

402
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: is always bigger than basketball and LA But from Clutch

403
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: sports having beef with the Lakers about not making moves,

404
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: but from where we heard Clutch Sports is who brought

405
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: the moves to l A. So it's just like who

406
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: knows is that hearsay or that actual fact. Two, they

407
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: want to make Frank Vogel the scapegoat, And I know

408
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: you're not the biggest fan of him, but you can't

409
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: coach effort and and and and will and energy like

410
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: that ship. You can't coach that's on individual players. So yeah,

411
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: this team is not playing well, but to blame it

412
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: on him for that type of ship, to me is

413
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 1: is unfair. But at the same time. It looks like

414
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: Jack and tell me if I'm wrong. He doesn't have

415
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: that team. I don't know if he ever really had

416
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: the team, but you can really tell now that he

417
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: doesn't have the respect in the locker room. The motherfuckers

418
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: don't care what he has to say. And I could

419
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: tell by just looking at them. I really don't know

420
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: where this team goes. You know, A D he had

421
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible, terrible ankle spring. They're saying he's supposed

422
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: to be back in four weeks. We'll have to see

423
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: about that. I think that is gonna be longer. Um,

424
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: but what's that that the Vogo is not the guy?

425
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: You know? I mean, you can look at this team right.

426
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: You can look at this team right, and Matt, you can.

427
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: They could have put me, you Rose and Gelani on

428
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: that sideline and and we could have We could have

429
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: coached a D and Braun to the championship. If they're healthy,

430
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna get to the championship almost every year they're healthy.

431
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: So it ain't too much coaching you can do to

432
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: those two guys. They are already great, right, so we

433
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: could have got them to the championship. So that's why

434
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: That's why I've been saying he's he wasn't the coach,

435
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: and now you see it because great coaches handle things,

436
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: you know, and and and and and in tough times,

437
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And you know pop Is

438
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: is doing something with San Antonio right now. Without Tim

439
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 1: duncan you have Lebron James still, you have Russell Westbrook,

440
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: You still have three Hall of Famers on your team.

441
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: So so if you can't control that and keep that together,

442
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: where your season can stay afloat, where as you see

443
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: where your team is still looking respectable with all the injuries,

444
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: and you're not coach that everybody thought you was. And

445
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: I've been saying that. I agree on that part because

446
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: like I said, you can't blame him for effort, energy

447
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and and just wanting to be out there. That ship

448
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to slide under your watch like that.

449
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: Many dudes on your team just want to play that way,

450
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that just shows like

451
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: no one is really over there and everyone has different styles,

452
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: you know, everyone has different styles to motivate people. I

453
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: remember one thing, you know, Magic Johnson said, and then

454
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: you know the way Phil Jackson used to work. You know,

455
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: you can't talk to everyone the same, you can't treat

456
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: everyone the same, and everyone has different buttons. You have

457
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: to press as a leader and as a coach. One

458
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: more thing before we close out on this thing. Jack,

459
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: someone I don't know who it was. It was this

460
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: weekend or maybe on Friday, someone still said that Lebron

461
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: is a great player, but he can't carry your team anymore.

462
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: What is your thoughts on that? I disagree. It's it's

463
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: it's so many, it's so many scrubs in his league,

464
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: and we're talking about Lebron James. Lebron James is gonna

465
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: be a guy that can carry a team and do

466
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: his part, you know, until he's out the league. I'm

467
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: not gonna say he's gonna be the Lebron that can

468
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: bring a team down from being down three one. I'm

469
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: not saying he's that Lebron, but he's still good enough

470
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: to carry a team where he can lead him and rebound, rebounds,

471
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: points and assists and get to a championship. I still

472
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: think he's that guy. It's just a supporting cast. There's

473
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: so much negativity going on, so many me, me, me,

474
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: why me? Well, you know, it's just too much finger

475
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: pointing over there. But Lebron still can do it. I

476
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: don't know who said that. Yeah, so I don't know.

477
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: This is kind of so that was my thing. Like still,

478
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who the fox said it. Lebron is

479
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: definitely still doing his job and and and getting his numbers.

480
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: But that's what I mean, Like he's always until he's done,

481
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to do his his job. But

482
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: he was always able to do a lot of motherfucker's

483
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 1: jobs before. And like I said, get teams through situations

484
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: like this. And I don't think it's a knock at

485
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: Lebron or or anything, but just age is catching up

486
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: and he's had to do probably the one superstar has

487
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: had to do a lot to maybe the most heavy

488
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 1: lifting throughout a career. I know people are gonna go

489
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: crazy over that, but he's just done a lot of

490
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot for you know, teams. I just don't know

491
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: if he still has that in him. Again, I think

492
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: he's still a great player, a top two or three

493
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: players in the league, but just his it takes a

494
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: lot and I just think he has a lot of

495
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: miles and for him to be able to he he's

496
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: always been able to cover up for the rest of

497
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: the team's funk ups or insufficiencies or inabilities. And I

498
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: just don't know it at thirty six, when you're eighteen,

499
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: that's a lot of heavy lifting to do, and and

500
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: and and maybe the gand it with less na, but

501
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: not at the end. He couldn't even do. Remember when

502
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: when Cole was at the end, the Lakers were dogshit, dogshit?

503
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: Don't he stayed on the ship? No, I'm just talking

504
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: about at this stage in his career. You know, thirty

505
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: six years old, year eighteen, that's a lot to ask.

506
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: I think of Lebron earlier, he's been able to do

507
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: his whole career. But maybe I agree. I agree with

508
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: that man that knock on ship, that's just right. That's

509
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: what I was trying to say. It's not even a

510
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: knock on it. No, hell no, because he was so

511
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: superhuman before, we just expect him to carry any team wherever.

512
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: That ship is hard to do. Man, for what motherfucking

513
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: dude to carry a whole team is a lot. And

514
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: you know you're eighteen and thirty six years old, that

515
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: that that may be a heavier ask. That's what they

516
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: thought bringing in a D would take a lot of

517
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting off Bron, so you can continue just

518
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: to maximize him. But he's been having to do a

519
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: heavy lifting with a D. So we'll see what happens

520
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: to the labs. Man, I'm I'm I'm being a word playoff.

521
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: You're heavy lifted. They thought a D was gonna come

522
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: and take some of the heavy lifting off Braun. But

523
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: what he should be is be with Braun to do

524
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: some heavy lifting in the off season. Oh, word played.

525
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: You said he needed to get in the gym. Yes,

526
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: you can catch what's burning available every week on Showtime

Speaker 1: All right, y'all, we'll see you all next week. Yeah.

529
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: Our world, it has been transformed into an ultimate reality.

530
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: Time has been broken. To save the future, we have

531
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: to prepare the past. We are at a fork in

532
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: the road two futures. You need to help each other.

533
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: We're stronger together. M
