1
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: I collect my roommates toenails and fingernails, and I don't

2
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: know how to stop. I would see them on the

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: floor in our living room. It started off with me

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: getting really upset about it, and then as time went on,

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: I kind of just started collecting them.

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: How do you think he would react if you found out.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: We're both pretty weird? I don't think it would be

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: a deal breaker for the friendship.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: Do you have any sort of master plan something that

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: you want to do with these fingernails and toenails.

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: I want to burn them to see how they smell.

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: Interesting. What an opening podcast? Listeners, This one's for you.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 4: I'm Tas Mellis and with me here in the studio,

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 4: it's the Bearded One, Trey Kirby. Hey out heyo, the

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 4: international man, mystery we else friend lay, Let watch your

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 4: toenails and the man making the magic happen. It's JD.

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: Hello there.

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: He is no skeets today, but you can catch him

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: following Game six for an immediate reaction on YouTube and

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: it's turned into a podcast. We shall be talking about

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: that game a little bit later in the show, but

22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 4: first we got some action around the league trades.

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: Spicy so let's get to the up down report.

24
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, the trade teams who aren't in the finals. They

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: can make trades. Yes, now they're allowed. Teams in the finals,

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: they can't.

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 5: Do that too late.

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 4: So here we go. The first one, Mavericks acquire twenty

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 4: six year old center Christian Wood from the Rockets in

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: exchange for the twenty sixth pick in next week's draft,

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: plus four players boban Maranovitch, Trey Burke, Sterling Brown, and

32
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: Marquise Chris. This trade first reported by the Athletics. So

33
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 4: let's go from the MAVs side league up or down

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: on the MAVs snagging would Well.

35
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 6: Up, they needed a center, they needed a big man.

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 6: They needed someone who could defend a little bit, rebound

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 6: a little bit. But Christian would also offensively, that's where

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 6: he's actually his strength. He can shoot the three pointer,

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 6: he shoots thirty eight percent of the last two seasons

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 6: of five a game. He can catch some oops, he averages.

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 6: I mean, look, he's been on a team that's been

42
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 6: bad last two years, so a lot of his production

43
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 6: could be put down to like good numbers on a

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 6: bad team, or it could be just like, hey, get

45
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 6: this guy in a good situation, and those numbers could

46
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 6: be legit. I think the Dallas Mavericks clearly we saw,

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 6: you know, they got away with it against the Phoenix

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 6: Suns playing small ball, but you needed someone, you needed

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 6: an upgrade on Dwight Dwight Powell excuse me, in the

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 6: middle there. So they get that at its pretty low risk.

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 6: I mean the twenty sixth pick. The MAVs are not

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 6: a team that traditionally likes to rebuild. They're not in

53
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 6: rebuild mode. They want to be They're in win now modes,

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 6: so they want to do this. They say have the

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 6: twenty six pick, because essentially that's all the trade is

56
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 6: is Christian would for the twenty six picks, those players,

57
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 6: Chris Brown, Trey Burke, they're just there just to make

58
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 6: up the salary. They probably I'll be shocked if any

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 6: of them last in Houston. There and also for Christian would, look,

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 6: he's on the last year of his deal. And so

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 6: for the Mavericks, it's like you get a bit of

62
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 6: a look at this guy to see if he is

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 6: a long term fit because he's look, he's a talented player,

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 6: but he's also got some issues defensively. It's more an

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 6: attitude thing. I see a lot of Hassan Whiteside in him.

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 6: I think he could be a better defender, but it's

67
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 6: an effort, it's an attitude. And again, this is something

68
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 6: when you're on the Houston Rockets team that's rebuilding and tanking,

69
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 6: it's hard for a guy to be super motivated. He's

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 6: also had a few issues in the locker room throughout

71
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 6: his career. So the Mavericks are basically saying, let's just

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 6: take a look at this guy. They can extend him

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 6: if they want, but I think they're more likely to

74
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 6: probably just play out certainly most of the season and

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 6: then decide whether or not he's going to be a

76
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 6: long term fit there. But overall, I think it's a

77
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 6: good move here for the Dallas Mavericks. I'm a little

78
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 6: surprised that Christian couldn't get more on the market because

79
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 6: a twenty six pick in the draft we talk about

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 6: all the time late pick versus a guy who at

81
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 6: least has been on the court and we've seen what

82
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 6: he can get. It's like, what is there at pick?

83
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 6: A better option at twenty six maybe, but that's such

84
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 6: a long term thing, a long way off. You don't

85
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 6: really know exactly how that's gonna play out, So I

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 6: like it.

87
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: For Dallas, I.

88
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 6: Don't think they've finished. I think they still need more improvements,

89
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 6: but I think they addressed probably their most pressing need

90
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 6: right now, which is just a better, bigger interior presence.

91
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 4: Trey, what are your takes on both sides?

92
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually feel like Lee ellis here, this is

93
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 3: a very solid trade. Two thumbs up. I'm going up

94
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: for both sides here because, like Lee is saying, I

95
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: think this is a pretty solid gamble for the Mavericks here.

96
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: They've traded guys who are barely in their rotation and

97
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: the four players they sent out for a position of need.

98
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: Certainly the Mavericks needed to beef up their interior.

99
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 4: A little bit.

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 2: Wood is still a little.

101
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: Bit of an unknown. I think he's a talented guy.

102
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: He's really good on the glass. He's a good role

103
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: man like Dwight powell Is. He's a good pick and

104
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: pop guy like Maxi kleber Is. He can score with

105
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: the ball his hands if he absolutely needs to. He's

106
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: kind of like a junior Anthony Davis in the way

107
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: he plays out there, but also like Anthony Davis sometimes

108
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: lacking in physicality. There have been locker room concerns, like

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: Lee is saying, with Christian Wood, and we haven't seen

110
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 3: him play for a team playing really competitive basketball, haven't

111
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: seen him in the playoffs, so who knows how that

112
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: turns out. That being said, they sent out a twenty

113
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: sixth pick. I think Christian Wood is going to help

114
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: him more this coming season than a twenty sixth pick Wood.

115
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: And it doesn't totally take the Mavericks out of contention

116
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: for a go bear either. I don't necessarily know if

117
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: you want two big guys out there, but at least

118
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: Wood has a little bit of stretchiness to him can

119
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: play on the perimeter. So really nice for the Mavericks

120
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: to be able to get a starting quality center at

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: the very least for a late round draft pick. And

122
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: I think this is pretty nice for the Rockets as well,

123
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: because they're turning Christian Wood's expiring contract into another first

124
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 3: round pick which they could use in another package or

125
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: just draft in stash a player. Clears a little room

126
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: for Alprinchengoon, who had a nice season last year but

127
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: was a little bit stuck behind Christian Wood. And it

128
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: seems like at the third pick. The Rockets are going

129
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: to be getting another front court player. Who knows if

130
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: it's going to be Chet or Paulo Boncaro, but it's

131
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: going to be a big guy. So getting Christian Wood

132
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: out of the way not going to be a long

133
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: term part of their future. There very smart for the

134
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: Rockets to cash in an expiring contract for a little

135
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: bit of an asset, and who knows what they get

136
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: from any of these four guys. At least they're getting

137
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: the fan favorite in Boban Sterling Brown was a Rocket

138
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: once upon a time. I don't really think it's about

139
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: the players. It's about clear and space for the guys

140
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: you already got and getting another pick. So I think

141
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: a win win all around.

142
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: Actually here, it would have been extremely clogged for the

143
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: Rockets to keep Christian Wood around now. They signed him

144
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, thinking maybe we're going to

145
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 4: be a good team with the whole That John Wall

146
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 4: snare of James Harden was obvious.

147
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 3: It is weird that he played with James Harden.

148
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 4: Yeah that's surprising to me, right, but he's never really

149
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: been on a very good team. This is totally different.

150
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 4: Let's look at Andrew Wiggins right now in the finals.

151
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: He went from being a number one, number two role

152
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 4: with the Wolves. Now he'll be Christian will be on

153
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: a good team. This is gonna be a seventh team

154
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 4: in eight years. So you can label him as a

155
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: problem child for whatever reason, because yeah, he's definitely a journeyman.

156
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 4: Definitely didn't find his legs in the NBA for several years.

157
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 4: Then he had that year with the Pistons where he

158
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: garnered some most improved player talk. Then the Rockets said,

159
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 4: all right, we'll take that most improved player, signed him

160
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 4: to a three thirty nine million dollar deal. But we

161
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: saw him through two years where the numbers are good. Yeah,

162
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: offensively and he created for himself because the Rockets were

163
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: so sparse at the guard spot. Yeah, he played a

164
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: little with Harden, but then they went to John Wall.

165
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: So he was good at just being a really good

166
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: offensive player. And I get the Hassan Whiteside comparisons. Maybe

167
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: doesn't really get after it defensively, but he's a great

168
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 4: defensive rebounder. We just watched the MAVs get crushed on

169
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: the offensive glass by the Golden State Warriors. So if

170
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: you put him on a good team, is he going

171
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: to perform on the defensive end. That's your wish, and

172
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: it's a one year risk for the number twenty six pick, essentially,

173
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 4: not it all. And he's worked before with assistant Sean Sweeney,

174
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: who's part of Kids' staff, and he coached him in Detroit,

175
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 4: and so maybe there's a relationship there. He's the guy

176
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: who handles the defense on the MAVs. Again, he's on

177
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 4: the glass if it doesn't work out. You gave up

178
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: the twenty six pick. Not Terribble, but the Rockets. Yeah,

179
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 4: they want to go and get younger, and that's a

180
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: good move by Raphaelstone in their front office. I like

181
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 4: the move when they signed Christian Wood. But now yeah,

182
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 4: they've got the third, the seventeenth, and the twenty sixth pick.

183
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 4: They've got shng Goon, who they think is a steal

184
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 4: in last year's draft. I agree, good for both sides, and.

185
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: I've actually done everyone.

186
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, very nice said that and thank you for the content.

187
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

188
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 6: And the thing was last season that was talked about

189
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 6: Jayleen Green or Evan Mobley, and they went with Green

190
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 6: because I think Wood was there at the time that

191
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 6: we was thinking he's going to be our long term

192
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 6: sort of big not really the case, but again they

193
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 6: still got John Green.

194
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 5: He's good.

195
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 6: I think Mobley's better from what we've seen in one season.

196
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 6: But at least now they get it almost another chance

197
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 6: of that because one of the top three is going

198
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 6: to be a big man. So you know, I think

199
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 6: they're going they're going to get in on that. And

200
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 6: but that's the thing. The Rockets are certainly moving towards

201
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 6: like we're in complete rebuild mode here. They're not looking

202
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: to win right now. And Christian Wood, I mean, he's

203
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 6: twenty six, but again, for a guy who's bounced around

204
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 6: a lot, I think he just wants to settle on

205
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 6: a team, and the MAVs give him that chance. And

206
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 6: remember Hassan Whiteside that, you know, the comparison, not just

207
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 6: on the court, but he bounced around all over Europe

208
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 6: and a few teams, and then he got to Miami

209
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 6: and he played well and they gave him that big contract.

210
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 6: So you know that's where Christian would if he works

211
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 6: out for the Mavericks this season, he could find himself

212
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 6: a long term piece of that team.

213
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: You reminded me that the Rockets took Jail and Green

214
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 4: over Evan Mobley last year in the draft, just kind

215
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: of surprising with the way it shook out at number

216
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: two that Green was selected over Mobili. Just forgot the order,

217
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: I guess so. But Jaell and Green ended up having

218
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: a good couple.

219
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 6: Finished well, yeah he did, but that I know that

220
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 6: was a lot of talk amongst Rockets fans. It was like,

221
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 6: we probably should take Mobili here, but there was like,

222
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 6: well you got Wood. So it's a bit of a

223
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 6: you know, do you draft position when you draft the

224
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 6: best player. I think they probably drafted for position more

225
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 6: than the best player. Ultimately, though, it's not we're not

226
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 6: letting the Sam Booie stage yet where it's like, oh

227
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 6: my god, you know, how could you have missed on

228
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 6: Evan Mobley. But Evan Myibley clearly had a stronger rookie

229
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 6: season than Jalalen Green overall.

230
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 4: And we skipped over it. But he is a really

231
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: good three point shooter. The percentage of thirty eight thirty

232
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: nine percent. Luca's gonna should should make that even go

233
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 4: higher if if they work together on that end of

234
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: the floor. Yeah, looking forward to that, all right. Next

235
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: one in the updown report here, according to Jake Fisher

236
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 4: of Bleacher Report, Zach Levine's free agency has generated plenty

237
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: of conversation among NBA personnel over the past few weeks.

238
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: But despite rumblings that the Blazers, Spurs, Hawks, and Lakers

239
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: will make plays for Levine, Fisher sources at Bleacher Report

240
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 4: say the coveted free agent is likely to remain with

241
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: the Bulls. So Trey upper down on Levine likely re

242
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: signing with your Chicago Bulls.

243
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm up on this one.

244
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 3: It has been a while. The Bulls are Zach. This

245
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: is an encouraging report here because early news, basically as

246
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: soon as the Bulls were eliminated, was that Levine was

247
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: gonna be shopping around. This is a real first free agency,

248
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: gonna be entertaining offers from all of these other teams

249
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 3: that Jake Fisher listed there over a Bleacher Report. It

250
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: definitely felt like a leverage play, saying I could go

251
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: anywhere else. You're gonna have to drop the bag if

252
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: you want to keep me around. Now it feels like

253
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: the Bear, the Bulls, and the Bears. Sorry, sorry, I

254
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: was reading about Justin Fields this morning. Apparently he's throwing

255
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: the ball really well at mini camp. The Bulls, though,

256
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 3: seems they're preparing to bequeath the bag to Zach Levine,

257
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: which is really good news because it means the Bulls

258
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 3: aren't pulling another Jimmy Butler here, trading away or letting

259
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: leave their star after the best season of his career

260
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: when he's in his prime. I also think like Lavine

261
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: deserves it a little bit for putting up with two

262
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: seasons of Jim Boylan and not having a real team

263
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 3: around him for the first couple of years he was there.

264
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 3: Once Vucevic was traded for once in a row and

265
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: came in, they made the moves for Lonzo and Caruso.

266
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: Levine actually got to play on a talented team for

267
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 3: the first time in his career. I mean kind of

268
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: accepting Minnesota. Those guys were just too young at the

269
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 3: beginning of his career, but they were able to put

270
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: it together. He had an awesome first half of the season.

271
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: Struggled though, no doubt, when he started dealing with knee injuries.

272
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: He had surgery in May. That's certainly a concern going

273
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 3: forward at the end of the deal, whatever it may be,

274
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: But maybe the Bulls will be able to get a

275
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: little discount on the fifth year or something along those lines.

276
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: But I'm very happy to see that Levin should be

277
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: re signing with the Bulls. It seemed like a given

278
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: going into the season, but maybe there were some question

279
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 3: marks as soon as they were eliminated. The other thing

280
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: I like is that every report you hear about the

281
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: Bulls leads to them somehow improving the team. They're in

282
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 3: the mix for Rudy Gobert, even if they're not going

283
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: to necessarily be able to pull it off. They're apparently

284
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: shopping Kobe White and their eighteenth pick in this year's

285
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: draft to try and find somebody to help for next

286
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: season as well. It just doesn't feel like the Bulls

287
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: are standing pat after finally getting back into the playoffs.

288
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they're going to make a move, but

289
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 6: it's not going to be DeRozan Orlavine or you know,

290
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 6: a Lonzo Ball or anyone like that. It has to

291
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 6: be they have to sort of keep at least those

292
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 6: two scores together. But the only concern, and you address

293
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 6: it there, is the knee injury with Zack Lavine, because

294
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 6: apart from his second season, he's never played eighty two

295
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 6: and he missed an entire season as well with a

296
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 6: knee injury.

297
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 5: So he that's if you're the Bulls.

298
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 6: They're probably like, do we really want to lock him

299
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 6: in guaranteed max for five years? And I think they

300
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 6: probably won't do that. I think they'll probably do some

301
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 6: sort of four year with maybe a team option or stipulations,

302
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 6: basically like almost like Joe Embiid, because Zach Lavine is

303
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 6: very athletic, very explosive, but he's also twenty seven now,

304
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 6: and if those knee injuries are going to start to

305
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 6: add up, it's going to obviously limit his effectiveness. His

306
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 6: numbers overall were very good last season, but his shooting

307
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 6: did drop a little bit, and also, you know, defensively,

308
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 6: there's still some work to be done on him there.

309
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 5: So I think it's probably a little bit of both.

310
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 6: The Bulls are like, we're a little hesitant to go

311
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 6: super Mac or you know, the max we can give

312
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 6: him here. Zach's also done a smart move by saying

313
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 6: I think there's plenty of teams that will sign me.

314
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 6: You've been linked to Portland and the Lakers and things

315
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 6: like that, and so the Bulls are like, we probably

316
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 6: better just you know, lock him up now and then

317
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 6: if it doesn't work out, he's still going to be

318
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 6: movable again because he's only twenty seven. He's still young

319
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 6: enough and he's still dynamic enough offensively that teams would

320
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 6: be Plenty of teams will be interested in him. But

321
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 6: I just think that knee is Both teams are a

322
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 6: little bit like that. That's probably like, that's fine, but

323
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 6: the Bulls are like, we haven't seen you playing more

324
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 6: than sixty seven games in a Chicago Bulls uniform, and

325
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 6: that's that's a bit of a concern.

326
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: He played sixty in a sixty five game season.

327
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 5: That's okay, Well we'll give we'll give him that. We'll

328
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: give him that. That was what I guess. So, yeah,

329
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 5: the short season there.

330
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 6: And then again there was only seventy two last season

331
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 6: as well there, so so it's not too bad. But

332
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 6: it just to me, it's just one of those it's.

333
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: A red flag for sure.

334
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 3: He was limping around at the end of last year

335
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: and definitely didn't look like himself come playoff time. He

336
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: really wasn't able to have a huge impact against the

337
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: Bucks in their series. But I mean it makes sense

338
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: maybe at the end of his contract they're regretting it

339
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: a little. But I assume He'll still be a pretty

340
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 3: solid shooter. He's been basically forty percent over the course

341
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: of the last two years. And at that point he

342
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 3: becomes j R. Smith, you know, and maybe contending teams

343
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: are like, sure, we could use zach Lavin as our

344
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: six play off the bench.

345
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think all those teams that are rumored

346
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 4: to want Zack Lavine, I think they're just all rumors

347
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: in terms of him weighing that versus the bulls. Because

348
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: I said he's the most or one of the most

349
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: coveted free agents. He may be the most coveted free

350
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: agent in this year's class when looking at it. So yeah,

351
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: of course the teams with cap room are gonna want

352
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 4: the best free agent. And I say the best free

353
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 4: agent because the other ones really have player options or

354
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 4: depending on their scenarios, Beal Kyrie and you're getting into

355
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: your Heartens and your Westbrook. So yeah, if you're sitting

356
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: there and you're the Blazers, yes, we would like zach Lavine.

357
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: And maybe it's a leverage play as you said there, Trey,

358
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: But why would he leave? I find that hard to believe.

359
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: The first time he made the playoffs in his low

360
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 4: career eight year career. He understands that you need good

361
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 4: players around him. And I bring that up because maybe

362
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: he wants to go be a number one guy with

363
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: the bullet I guess that. I don't think that's the case,

364
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 4: but that would be the only reason for him to leave.

365
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: It might be and you get to put on the

366
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: red and white, you get to play in Chicago. You

367
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: just made a play like he's He's been on other

368
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 4: good situations before, like USA basketball, not good at situations

369
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: in the NBA, but he knows that you need good

370
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 4: players in the NBA and the Bulls. I think this

371
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: should just be a stepping stone in terms of going

372
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: for it, because you know, they gave up picks and

373
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 4: the whole bag, the whole cupboard for Vucevic last year.

374
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 4: They're really going forward and I don't think they would

375
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 4: stop now. It doesn't really make sense. So I think

376
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: this is just again another stepping stone to maybe getting

377
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 4: a big that's not Vucevic or somebody else. And of

378
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 4: course the injuries are concerned, more so combined with the

379
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: fact that Lonzo Ball hasn't been able to play a

380
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: full season in the NBA. There's the Caruso, then there's

381
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 4: DeRozan getting a little bit older, but Zack ain't gone anywhere.

382
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: No.

383
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 6: I mean, but Riisdorf is known to be thrifty. Yes,

384
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 6: and if there's any sort of concerns injury wise, I

385
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 6: think that's where he will probably make sure that they

386
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 6: aren't sort of fully.

387
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 5: Committed without any wiggle room. That that's where I think so.

388
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 6: But look, I mean, this was an incredible season for

389
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 6: certainly for three quarters of the season for Chicago, DeRozan

390
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 6: and Levin really slotted together perfectly well. There was some

391
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 6: I think unconfirmed reports that Zak was getting a little

392
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 6: bit he wanted more of the attention in the fourth

393
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 6: quarter there, I don't believe that. From what I saw

394
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 6: on the court, I think he was more than happy.

395
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 6: We're seeing DeRozan close out games.

396
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 4: The way he did a lot of hugs for I

397
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 4: don't think there's.

398
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 6: Any tension there between those two. I think, I honestly think,

399
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 6: and again going back to your point, this is the

400
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 6: best team he's been on where it's like DeRozan can

401
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 6: carry without having to do all the work. Zach gets

402
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 6: plenty of opportunity to score and be the man throughout

403
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 6: the game. So I don't think there's any drama between

404
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 6: him and Toma.

405
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 4: All Right, Moving on next one here. This one happened

406
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: late last week, but we didn't talk about it, so

407
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 4: let's get into it. The Charlotte Hornets have hired Warriors

408
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: assistant Kenny Atkinson to be their new head coach, Atkinson

409
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 4: signing a four year deal with Michael Jordan's Hornets. I

410
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 4: just wanted to get that in there. Anyways, up or

411
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 4: down on the Hornets hiring Kenny Atkinson. I'll get us

412
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: started here. His only coaching job was with the Brooklyn

413
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 4: Nets from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty. He's been an

414
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 4: assistant since. With the Nets, he started on a team.

415
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 4: He started coaching a team those twenty and sixty two.

416
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 4: In year one they developed into a playoff team. He

417
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: developed a lot of young guys from Jared Allen, Joe

418
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 4: Harris Spencer, Dinwiddie, Karris Lavert. They were a top ten

419
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 4: defensive team his last full year, and team is the keyword.

420
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 4: I think they played like one. They were sort of

421
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: a darling of the NBA. Look at this team, sort

422
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: of better than the sum of its parts. That's exactly

423
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 4: what the Charlotte Hornets need. And I bought and if

424
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: you you know, go back a couple months to these

425
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 4: current Brooklyn Nets when they flamed out of the playoffs.

426
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: GM Sean Mark said, we took a step back. The

427
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: culture isn't quite what it was the last couple years.

428
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: And you know, he was referring to, you know, the

429
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 4: superstars kind of doing what they wanted and the culture

430
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: wasn't there. Well, the Hornets need that to go back to,

431
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: you know, the Kenny Atkinson era, or to to you know,

432
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 4: to move over to the Kenny Atkinson era of the

433
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 4: Brooklyn Nets. LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges, Terry Rozier, great offensive players,

434
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: good offensive year, not a very good defensive year whatsoever.

435
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 4: And I think Kenny Atkinson can pull that out of

436
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: those guys. I know they need some personnel changes, but

437
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 4: as we saw, I know, Jared Allen a really good defender,

438
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 4: but he was coaching guys like Andreel Russell and Spencer

439
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 4: Dinwiddie into a very good defensive squad. So I think

440
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: Kenny Atkinson deserves a second shot. He was accident that

441
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 4: first Kyrie Irving slash Kevin Durant year when even though

442
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: they went on to the playoffs for the second year

443
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 4: in a row, seemed to be rumblings about Carrie nutlaking

444
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: Kenny Atkinson and not laking this whole team thing.

445
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: So I love the culture, just not the guy who

446
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: said it.

447
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Sean Marx may regret that move when he

448
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: looks back. But how do you lay Kenny going to

449
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: the Charlotte Hornets.

450
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 6: I like it on the surface. I think he is

451
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 6: the right choice for that team. They need someone who

452
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 6: can be that player's coach where guys do respond to him.

453
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 6: Because Spencer Dinwood he rebirthed his career I think under

454
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 6: Kenny Atkinson. DeAngelo Russell was an All Star there and

455
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 6: he hasn't really gotten close to those heights ever since.

456
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: Now he's also moved around, But they were a team

457
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 6: that you looked at. I remember the bench celebrations. They

458
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 6: were dancing, kicking their legs up. But I bring that

459
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: up because he brought all that sort of that chemistry

460
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 6: together where they were all on the same page and

461
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 6: he got a lot out of that team. And that's

462
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 6: obviously what the Hornets are banking on here that he

463
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 6: can get them to a different level. Now, the big

464
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 6: thing still for the Hornets is defensively, they need a

465
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: big as well. They were running out plumbly last season

466
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 6: and they just need someone else better there. So they

467
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 6: still have to improve the roster. But I'm hoping and

468
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 6: expecting him to just sort of see LaMelo and Miles

469
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 6: Bridges and see what he can get out of book Night.

470
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 6: I mean, he was their draft pick last season who

471
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 6: barely played it all. Can he get these guys again?

472
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 6: Can he replicate what he did in Brooklyn and get

473
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 6: these guys playing at a higher level, because it's a

474
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 6: bit of a disaster that they haven't made the playoffs

475
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 6: in the last couple of seasons. I think they had

476
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 6: a good season this year and then got to the

477
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 6: play in and it was a complete disaster for them.

478
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 6: So they need to improve, and they're banking on Kenny

479
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 6: Atkinson having that same impact that he had in Brooklyn.

480
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 5: So I like it.

481
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 6: I certainly like it more than the D'Antoni fit for

482
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 6: that team. D'Antoni was also rumored because you know that

483
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 6: they would just go out there and score maybe one

484
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 6: hundred and sixty points a game. Fine, but I'm not

485
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 6: sure he would have developed anyone or done anything defensively.

486
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 6: So I think Kenny Atkinson's is a better long term

487
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 6: fit for this team, and if he can unlock some

488
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 6: of these guys and make a bit defensively as well,

489
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 6: and things should improve in Charlotte.

490
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 3: See, I was hoping it was gonna be Mike D'Antoni

491
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 3: because I think it would have been the most hilarious

492
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 3: match of We've got a fun offense, we can score

493
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: a bunch of points, we play fast, but we don't

494
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: play defense. So let's just double down on that with

495
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 3: Dan Tony. But honestly, this is still enough. This is

496
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: a great move for the Hornets. Like you mentioned tasks

497
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: the underdog Nets when they were putting their team together

498
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: with Russell on Allen, they were fun to watch, yeah

499
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 3: as well, and they kind of were just a very good,

500
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: feel good story. I assume this will be really good

501
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: for LaMelo's development in particular, that was where D'Angelo Russell

502
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: was at his best, though he had a nice season

503
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 3: until the play or until the playoffs with the Timberwolves

504
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 3: this year. But player development is gonna be huge for

505
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: the Hornets because they're a team that's gonna have to

506
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 3: basically build through the draft and through you know, like

507
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 3: second tier free agents, so they're gonna be taking chances

508
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: on young guys who maybe didn't work out in their

509
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 3: first stop in the NBA. Can Kenny Atkinson develop those

510
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 3: kind of players alongside Lamello and alongside Miles Bridges. He

511
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: seems to have a good chance at it. So this

512
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 3: is a smart move by Jordan and the Hornets. Lamello

513
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: probably would have won MVP if Mike D'Antoni was the coach,

514
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: but this will work out as well.

515
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, LaMelo could work on his development. And I saw

516
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 4: you had a solid tweet for Kenny Atkinson's player development.

517
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm a little nervous to say it. Actually, I know lamelopment.

518
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: I'm enjoying it. Watching his lamelopment this season.

519
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: I think it's more of a reader.

520
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: It's more of a.

521
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 4: Well that's all right, he went for it. And listen,

522
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 4: I'm making the mistake of looking at the free agent's

523
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: list and wondering who could be a big man for

524
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 4: this Charlotte Hornets team, because I'm starting to it's grim.

525
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 4: But the fact that DeAndre Ayton is on the board now.

526
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 5: Well they've been they've been linked to him as well.

527
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: But and that have a lot of depth to trade

528
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: for him.

529
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 5: Well yeah, yeah, but who the Bridges. They're not going

530
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 5: to try him him now.

531
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 6: You maybe hope that they say okay, book nine and

532
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 6: another pick or something like that, but we just haven't

533
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 6: seen enough.

534
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: Of him for Yeah, because there was rumors, these were

535
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 4: preliminary rumors from Mark Stein about going after Russell Westbrook

536
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: because more so because the Hornets wanted to get off

537
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: some of their long term money like Gordon Hayward. Yes,

538
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 4: but would the Sons be willing to do something like that.

539
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 4: They probably want to get someone big enough, and yeah,

540
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 4: Gordon can't stay on the floor as well. So I'm

541
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 4: just getting a little too excited here looking at this

542
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: free agent list. It's a little early, it's June sixteenth,

543
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 4: but I'm looking what I'm also excited about just to

544
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: nerd out here for a secon because I never noticed

545
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 4: this before. On sport Track, they have guys' ages, but

546
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: they also have a decimal point for the current year

547
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 4: that they're in. So who are we talking about? First?

548
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: Zach Lavine, he's twenty seven point two and so he

549
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 4: is he an old twenty.

550
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 5: Seven two months? And is that or is it? How

551
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 5: is that broken down?

552
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? Close? To two months. I guess it's like, you know,

553
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: a fifth of twelve months. So anyways, he's a young

554
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: twenty seven. What a geek? I am all right? Moving on?

555
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 4: Who cares? Next one here?

556
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: Tiny trade, another trade, It's just a small trade.

557
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: On Monday, the Nuggets sent veteran big man Jamichael Green

558
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 4: and a protected first round pick which could convey as

559
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: early as twenty twenty seven to Oka See in exchange

560
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 4: for the number thirty pick in this year's draft and

561
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 4: two future second round picks. So the Nuggets and okay See.

562
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 4: To facilitate the deal, Green must exercise his option for

563
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 4: the upcoming season. Another NERD note right there, up or

564
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: down on the Thunder acquiring Jamichael Green.

565
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: Tray, I'm a tep it up on this one, Like

566
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 3: my thumb is just barely pointing past the north South

567
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: access to be up on this one. Jamichael Green a

568
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 3: solid vet. If he ends up sticking around for the Thunder.

569
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: Of course they get a pick in the future, so nice, Okay,

570
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: see kind of stuff there. They just always get some

571
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: random veteran. You know, it was Chris Paul one year,

572
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 3: it was Al Horford last year with Derek Favors. I

573
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 3: think they're slowly downgrading. It seems as I read the

574
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: list as we go along to now Jamichael Green, but

575
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: I don't know he can help alongside Jay Gildos, Alexander

576
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: whatever guy they get in the draft and dort around there.

577
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: He can shoot the ball sometimes last year not so much,

578
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 3: but in general he's gonna be a stretchy guy, so

579
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: useful I suppose to have around or useful as another

580
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 3: trade piece if a contender comes calling around the trade deadline.

581
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 3: Around the trade deadline, though, I am definitely down for

582
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 3: the Nuggets because this is a complete salary move. I

583
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: feel for them, which is not what you want to

584
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 3: see with a title contending team that should have their

585
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 3: best shot at it come next season, especially after they

586
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: just lost their GM to a team that wanted to

587
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 3: pay him more. So, this is gonna save twenty million

588
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 3: dollars in salary and luxury tax, this trade, which may

589
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 3: open then the mid level exception, the trade player exception.

590
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: They've got two picks in the draft the Nuggets do.

591
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: They've got to use these assets to improve their team.

592
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 3: Green struggled last year twenty six percent from three, but

593
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 3: he would probably be more helpful to a Nuggets team

594
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 3: trying to win a championship than the last pick of

595
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: the first round, which they got back in this trade.

596
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 3: There's also rumors they're gonna use that thirtieth pick to

597
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: replace Monte Morris, who they would then ship out, and

598
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: that's like a double downgrade there. Their bench is getting

599
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 3: worse and worse, and we saw last year in the

600
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: playoffs they didn't have their two of their top three guys,

601
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: but they look like a really, really thin team. I

602
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: guess PJ. Doser has been approved or cleared to start

603
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 3: playing again soon, so he could help. But it feels

604
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: like the Nuggets are going to be cheaping out a

605
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 3: little bit on the back end of their roster here,

606
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: and honestly, like, you gotta try and win it. You've

607
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 3: got a two time MVP right there. You should be

608
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: spending every single dollar you possibly can, so foreboding to

609
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 3: me from the Nuggets side of this.

610
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 6: And they just got a new GM there too, in

611
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 6: Calvin Booth. So yeah, any time OKAYC is involved, it's like, Okay,

612
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 6: there's something else going on here. They're just basically either

613
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 6: getting another pick or they're moving down or they're doing something.

614
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 6: And that's why I see Jamichael Green's one of those guys.

615
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 6: I always think he's probably a little bit better than

616
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 6: he is. You sort of feel like when he's out there,

617
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 6: he's impactful, he's athletic, but the numbers don't really back

618
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 6: that up. He's fine, but he's not gonna move. You know,

619
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 6: he's in okay, see because it's like, you're not good

620
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 6: enough to really improve us, but you're also you know,

621
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 6: a veteran we can just have around some of the

622
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 6: younger players. But yeah, for the Nuggets, a little concerning

623
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 6: that they are. There are rooms the Monte Morris one

624
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 6: there as well, where it's like, are they really going

625
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 6: to support Nikola Yokich their MVP here and just say

626
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 6: we don't care about you know, money, We're going to

627
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 6: go all in like what the Warriors have done. You know,

628
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 6: there's been some really good reports like on how the

629
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 6: Warriors are in this position because they've spent big and

630
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 6: it's paid off. Whereas the Nuggets it feels like they're

631
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 6: they're like, we just want to make sure we don't

632
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 6: overspend here, and that's not a good sign to your

633
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 6: two time MVP. But overall this this, I'm just completely

634
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 6: in the middle of this year, and I'm just like,

635
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 6: it doesn't really change anyone on.

636
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 5: The court today. It's like, Okay, fine, a deal happened.

637
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 4: I appreciate you guys going deep on that. We probably

638
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: went a little too deep, but I think I'm gonna

639
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 4: go deep now too. The Nuggets I think can replace

640
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 4: Jamichael Green. It is sort of, you know, short term,

641
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 4: a little bit worrisome because they're worth in in the playoffs,

642
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 4: but he didn't produce all that much and they can

643
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 4: go find somebody else, I think to do that. They

644
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 4: invested heavily in Jokich, Murray, and Porter, so they've got

645
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 4: to find some wiggle room and it is a little

646
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: bit worrisome, but I think they can do it. And

647
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 4: then from the OKAC side, they give up the thirtieth

648
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: pick for a future draft pick win. They're probably going

649
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 4: to be paying their guys in Shay Gildess, Alexander and

650
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 4: Josh Giddy, so it's probably better to get a guy

651
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 4: who's you know, cost controlled down the road rather than now,

652
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 4: and it'll probably be better than the thirtieth pick unless

653
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: the Nuggets are cooking. So that's I think a smart

654
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 4: move on both fronts and they'll probably flip Jamichael again. Yeah,

655
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 4: probably keep flipping. Okay, last one here, this one is

656
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 4: a strange one. So we're gonna show you some of

657
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 4: the footage here on YouTube. The Golden State Warriors have

658
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 4: banned Klay Thompson impersonator Dawson Gurley aka Fake Clay looks

659
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 4: a lot like Clay because he somehow made his way

660
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 4: into the Warriors arena and shot around for ten minutes

661
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 4: ahead of Game five of the Finals. Ten minutes. He

662
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 4: got to pretend he was Klay Thompson a little bit

663
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: bigger Klay Thompson and got on the floor, and Gurley

664
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: released this video that we're showing you here, pulling off

665
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 4: the stunt and encountering no resistance from Chase Center security

666
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: despite going through several checkpoints. He gets on the floor

667
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 4: and pretends he's Klay Thompson shooting it up. We can

668
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 4: critique his shooting form here and bringing in his water bottles.

669
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 4: He's just walking onto the court like he's an NBA player.

670
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: He said, Man, I wouldn't tread this for anything. I

671
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 4: got to pretend I was an NBA player for ten minutes.

672
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: That's when they yanked him. After ten minutes as he

673
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 4: got on to the floor. So up or down on

674
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 4: fake Clay getting banned for life?

675
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 5: Well for life, No, down.

676
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 6: I don't think this is a lifetime suspension, but getting

677
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 6: some sort of discipline and you know, banned from you know,

678
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 6: for a year or something like that. He's probably fine because, look,

679
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 6: it's hilarious. This video is hilarious, but he's also kind

680
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 6: of humiliating the team, the organization, and certainly the security

681
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 6: members there. Now, look, it was pretty funny to watch

682
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 6: how we just sort of strolled by and no one

683
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 6: said anything, because you'd think they would recognize Clay just

684
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 6: because of his height more than anything else than that

685
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 6: guy and dressed.

686
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: In the universe, the basketball players often show up in

687
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 3: four you to four hours before the game.

688
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: If anyone would, though, I think it would be Clay.

689
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 6: Clay do that, because he said I remember him sending

690
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 6: in his young days when he had a bad game,

691
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 6: he would drive home in his So maybe you would

692
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 6: turn up like that, But yeah, I can't. You can't

693
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 6: sort of then put this out on social media the

694
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 6: way that he's done and really just show up the

695
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 6: organization like that and not expect any punishment whatsoever.

696
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: A liveban though.

697
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 6: Look, they also said in that letter they send him,

698
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 6: I said, if you've going to appeal it basically right

699
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 6: to us and we'll consider it. But yeah, he's it's funny,

700
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 6: but he also kind of is embarrassing the organization there,

701
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 6: so he deserves to be punished.

702
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny and embarrassing kind of all around. I

703
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: do think apparently this guy's six foot five though. I

704
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: had to look up his hate because I was with you.

705
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: I was like, his body sheep is completely different. Clay's

706
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: a little taller, certainly a little more slender than fake Clayers. Also,

707
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 3: as soon as he started shooting, weren't people like, hey,

708
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 3: that doesn't look like a picture of perfect jump shot. Yeah,

709
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: I guess not. But uh, just weird. This is just weird.

710
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 4: I don't know.

711
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: Tell him he can't come back until the twenty twenty

712
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: three yeah, or something like that.

713
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 4: I'm okay with the lifetime ban. You can't do it. Yeah,

714
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 4: he showed up the entire organization and then they should

715
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 4: have caught it though.

716
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's definitely some playing back and forth.

717
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he sets a precedent for other people to

718
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 4: try it as well, potentially, so we have that.

719
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 5: Going New Orleans as well.

720
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: Remember who who just had the same sort of thing

721
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 6: put the hoodie on. I think, yeah, yeah, I cover

722
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 6: your face a little bit. But he, as far as

723
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 6: I remember, the security just said come on, get off,

724
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 6: get off, because that was pre game when everyone was

725
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 6: shooting around. They didn't like escored him out of the

726
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 6: building there. But he did this for the hits too.

727
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 6: This guy wanted the attention and he got.

728
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: It, and he's gotten a lot of hits over the years.

729
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 4: If you don't know who fake Clay is, he's he

730
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 4: looks very similar to Clay Thompson. He's been at Warriors games,

731
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 4: He's a lifelong Warriors fan. He's gotten photos with Clay,

732
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 4: and people have thought he's Klay Thompson over the years.

733
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: So I think he just did it because he got

734
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 4: to be an NBA player for yeah ten minutes. Really, now,

735
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 4: did he do the research? Did he know that Clay

736
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 4: shows up in his his uniform? I mean I think, yeah,

737
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: the security just screwed up. I would imagine Clay comes

738
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 4: in a different entrance than that, like I don't know, say.

739
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: Like team and employee entrance or something like that. And

740
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 3: he did at least a little bit of homework. The

741
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: facial hair has changed, you know, Fake Clay much like

742
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 3: real Clay used to just have the very thin go tee,

743
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 3: a little bit heavier beard for both of them now,

744
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 3: so he's at least going for some of the details,

745
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 3: which I think is fair.

746
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 6: But even earlier in the video when he's driving in,

747
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 6: he says, where do the play is? Pot he's been

748
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 6: a warrior for a living. I guess it's a newsed arena,

749
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 6: but he's like, hey, where do I?

750
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 5: Okay? Man?

751
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 4: He pulled it off incredibly so. And to defend the

752
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 4: security staff it's June. You know, they think they're just

753
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: going through the motions. I'm sure you.

754
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: Know, but yeah, but would why would they have their

755
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: antenna up?

756
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

757
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 3: I guess is the question? Lee, if you were impersonating

758
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 3: an NBA player, who would you impersonate to try and

759
00:34:58,719 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 3: get on the court?

760
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 6: Wow, to try to get on the court, that's a

761
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 6: great question. I mean, give him my size and someone

762
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 6: like Nick Stauskas, you know, so you wouldn't necessarily recognize,

763
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 6: you know, he's not a known you know, if you can't,

764
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 6: you can't go out there where Because I'm assuming you'd

765
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 6: have to go out in the full uniform.

766
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 4: And that like that.

767
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 6: So yeah, if it was Stauskers, then some of the

768
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 6: you in arena workers might be like, it could be him.

769
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 5: I'm not yeah, I'm not sure. I mean if you

770
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 5: go out with.

771
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 6: Like you know, Jalen Brown or Tatum or something on

772
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 6: your backs, like, okay, that's not him, but Stauskas maybe.

773
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, I know you've got the Celtics shorts. I know

774
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: you've got Larry Birth. Yeah, you should get trying to

775
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: plan here pretty quickly to get up the Beantown if

776
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 3: you can.

777
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 6: That would be hilarious. Wouldn't have to try to get

778
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 6: it passes Larry Bird.

779
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 4: You got a warrior skit to Yeah, I do.

780
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 5: I do have the full stepkid and the shoes.

781
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 3: In fact, a little bit of a berlitza lot, maybe

782
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 3: a little too short.

783
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, scruff the hair up a little bit. Yeah.

784
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: All right, Well we've got to take a break, but

785
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: we will get to Game six. Clay Thompson as we

786
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: preview Game six here, maybe some more justin fields talk

787
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: perhaps see he's doing that mini camp, but we'll be

788
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 4: back to talk Celtics Warriors, the real Celtics Warriors after

789
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 4: the break back in the Classic Factory. Just a comment

790
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 4: from Jason Fire thirty four before we get to Celtics

791
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 4: Warriors Game six. The players that we would impersonate the

792
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 4: best trying to walk into arena. We got a couple

793
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 4: of retired players. You know. The natural skeets is Nash

794
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 4: me as Heato Turglou, who reportedly wanted to pee on

795
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 4: a rookie JJ Reddick, according to JJ Reddick's most recent

796
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: podcast with grand Hill, what and Trey as Bill Walton?

797
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, sure, you know. I would say the height

798
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 3: is a little bit of a problem. I think he's

799
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: a legit seven footer. But thank you, thank you for

800
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 3: saying so.

801
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 4: You think you can get through a metal detector in

802
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 4: stilts What in Steltz? Yeah? Yes, but do they have

803
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 4: a I guess they don't really have a top. It's

804
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 4: just the two walls right now that I.

805
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: Think sometimes they have a lid on it. Yeah, but

806
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 3: you could duck, simply duck.

807
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 4: You could be good on Steltz. I believe it. Okay,

808
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 4: let's get to Game six of the NBA Finals. Apologies

809
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 4: if you're listening to this after the fact, but let

810
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: us know if everything we said was absolutely correct, because

811
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 4: it will be the first finals Q here league. Should

812
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 4: the Celtics be concerned with quotes Game six? Clay, He's

813
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 4: got that nickname for a reason.

814
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, he has got that nickname for a reason, because

815
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 6: he's delivered in Game six and huge moments.

816
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: He did it.

817
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 6: Of course, the biggest one still against the ok See

818
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 6: thunderback in twenty sixteen, the forty one with eleven threes.

819
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 6: He's done against the Rockets a couple of times. He

820
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 6: didn't in this season against the Grizzlies too, in Game

821
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 6: six of that series. Game six Clay is legit. There's

822
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 6: no doubt about that. And Clay has almost put himself

823
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 6: in this situation by the way that he's talked this

824
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 6: week alone, Like he said, can't wait to get back

825
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 6: to Boston.

826
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 5: I'm very excited.

827
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 6: I mean, that's giving fuel to Boston to say, hey,

828
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 6: we've got to shut this guy up, but instead Clay,

829
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 6: I think that's just him. He does that stuff to

830
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 6: almost motivate himself. And also he kind of got under

831
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 6: the skin of the Boston Celtics fans when he criticized

832
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 6: them for swearing, especially at Draymond early in the season

833
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 6: when they were dropping the fus to Draymond. So like,

834
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 6: this is the perfect environment for a villain to come

835
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 6: out and just like destroy the other team, which I

836
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 6: think Clay could do that perfectly because I don't think

837
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 6: he would sort of feel any pressure like that. He'll

838
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 6: just go out there and play, and he does this

839
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 6: on the big stage. So I hope we get another

840
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 6: Game six play. He even said when he was going

841
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 6: through a shooting slub, he googled Game six play because

842
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 6: he wanted to remind himself just how good he is.

843
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 6: There's plenty of footage from him dominating those games. So

844
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 6: I hope so, because it would just grow the aura

845
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 6: two of the games Clay if he was to do

846
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 6: it in the finals, because he hasn't had to do

847
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 6: it in the finals basically because it hasn't been a

848
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,879
Speaker 6: Game six other than the Raptors a couple of seasons ago.

849
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 6: But yeah, I'm very excited for a Game six Clay

850
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 6: to be trending tonight on Twitter.

851
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 4: What do they trick?

852
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 3: The Celtics definitely got to be concerned with Game six

853
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 3: Clay because Games three, four, and five Clay was pretty

854
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 3: solid twenty one points per game, fourteen of thirty four

855
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 3: from three in those three games. That's forty one percent.

856
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure when he googled or youtubed Game six, Clay,

857
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 3: but if if it was before Game three, then like,

858
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 3: well done to this guy. The defense is also coming around.

859
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 3: You've seen a lot of clips on Twitter since since

860
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: Game five of Clay being able to stick with Jalen

861
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 3: Brown basically off the dribble, which was gonna be a

862
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 3: little bit of a concern coming into the series. I

863
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 3: think it's really interesting how things have flipped with Clay

864
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 3: here and with Draymond, because coming into the playoffs, I

865
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 3: was a little worried, like there might be times when

866
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 3: Steve kurraz to say, Clay, you don't have it going

867
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: right now, You're forcing things, maybe the defense isn't quite there.

868
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: That's actually been the case with Draymond. He did get

869
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 3: benched in a fourth quarter, whereas Clay has been kind

870
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: of peaking. He might be playing his best, most consistent

871
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: basketball right now in the finals. So of course the

872
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 3: specter of Game six has got to be hanging over

873
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 3: the Celtics minds.

874
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good point about Clay's defense, because we

875
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 4: did kill him a little bit in the first couple games,

876
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 4: but he has come on and he has been using

877
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 4: those Andre Goodala swipes really really well. But he is

878
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 4: just you know, physically, he's in front of guys. But yeah,

879
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 4: he can get beat and that's why he's been swiping

880
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 4: and swiping successfully. There's a few steals and you can

881
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 4: watch late late in games. If the Celtics get a

882
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 4: little bit sloppy, like they do, keep that ball out,

883
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 4: Clay's going to get some steals. So that end has

884
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 4: been good. You guys have mentioned the offensive end has

885
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 4: been far better as well. Twenty five, eighteen and twenty

886
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,479
Speaker 4: one in the last three games, making forty one percent

887
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 4: of his threes after a slow start to the series win.

888
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 4: I think he started googling Game six players when he

889
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 4: started slow. And he loves playing on the road. He

890
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 4: loves being the villain. You can see him come out

891
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 4: for warm ups in game three, the first game there

892
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 4: in Boston. He came out and he wanted more. He

893
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 4: was given the crowd the encouragement to keep cheer and

894
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 4: form as he came out for or keep booing him.

895
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 4: I should say, has he came out for warm ups

896
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 4: and I just love the nickname Game six Clay because

897
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,280
Speaker 4: it's cool, cool, it's cool, and it's as simple as

898
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 4: Clay tops it, you know, because Clay keeps it simple.

899
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 4: I think if he was giving his himself a nickname

900
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 4: for Game six, it'd be Game six Clay.

901
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: Ye.

902
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 4: But they have to be worried. I don't know. I

903
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 4: don't know what it is about Clay, Like you can't

904
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 4: change him. That's the thing that people love about Clay.

905
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: He never changes, right, He's always chill, never too high

906
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 4: and never too low. There's something about that body chemistry

907
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 4: that peaks in Game six is so that's not going

908
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 4: to change. He plays five games, feels it out, and

909
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: we shouldn't be surprised if he has a big Game six.

910
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 4: As you said, Lee, he had thirty in his only

911
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 4: Game six this postseason against the Memphis Grizzlies. So he's

912
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 4: feeling it and he's feeling it on both ends. And

913
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 4: obviously the Warriors going for the kill shot tonight. But

914
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 4: what should be what should we be watching for tonight

915
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 4: in Game six straight?

916
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: Where's Al Horford? Where has Al Horford ben since Game one?

917
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 3: Game one points for Big Al nine of twelve from

918
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 3: the field, six threes got our Brown Low Metal votes

919
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 3: all three of them for They're coming in first after

920
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 3: that game. Since game one, though, Al Horford scored thirty

921
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 3: two points on eleven of twenty three shooting made just

922
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 3: five three pointers. I think maybe having Draymond Green roaming

923
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 3: a little bit more rather than being necessarily the Horford

924
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: matchup has been a bit of a problem. He's been

925
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 3: good defensively. I feel like Horford has seems to slow

926
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 3: down a little bit in fourth quarters with regards to

927
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: protecting the rim, and he's just been invisible offensively, which

928
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 3: is a problem for the Celtics much the same way

929
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 3: like when Draymond Green isn't looking to score, it's a

930
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: problem for the Warriors. He's a good release valve Horford is.

931
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,359
Speaker 3: He's a great connector, he's a good decision maker. But

932
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 3: the Celtics just a little can kind of get away

933
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 3: from their best offense, the ball switching sides of the court,

934
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 3: the driving kicks or the wide open pick and pops

935
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 3: for Horford. So I would like to see him have

936
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: a more productive game tonight. I also think the Celtics

937
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 3: need to push the a little bit here. They have

938
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: had very few transition opportunities against the Warriors, which then

939
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: gives the Warriors a chance to set up their defense

940
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 3: maybe for some more turnovers and go back the way

941
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 3: the other way for easy ones for Golden State. And

942
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 3: it'd be nice to see a big Jason Tatum game tonight.

943
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 3: He's thirty percent from two point range so far in

944
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: this seerar. He's shooting the three ball really well forty

945
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 3: one percent. But we saw him out dual Janis in

946
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: Giannis's best game maybe of this postseason, getting that huge

947
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 3: Game six win in the second round. They're gonna need

948
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 3: something similar tonight because you have to assume Steph is

949
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 3: gonna bounce back after not having a great shooting night

950
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: in Game five. So Tatum may need to outduel Steph

951
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 3: Curry tonight. That's a tall task, but he's a solid player.

952
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: He's really good, and this has been his best year,

953
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 3: though he hasn't had an incredibly efficient final. So let's

954
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 3: see something from Horford go a little bit faster and

955
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 3: we need a big time Tatum game.

956
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Tatum's got to take care of the ball better.

957
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 6: In their wins, only two turnovers a game. In their

958
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 6: losses nearly five a game and a lot of those

959
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 6: just sloppy, you know. And I think we saw that

960
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 6: against Miami too, where he just seems to get careless

961
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 6: with the ball, and that's something that affects the Celtics,

962
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 6: effects the Warriors.

963
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 5: Too at times as well.

964
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 6: But I think Jason Tatum knows tonight he cannot afford

965
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 6: any of those careless turnovers that have cost the Celtics

966
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 6: at times throughout the playoffs. So I expect him to

967
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 6: have a better game and to be a bit more

968
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 6: aggressive too. If he's got a mismatch, he's got to

969
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 6: go at Steph Curry. He's got to make sure that

970
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 6: he gets a good, high percentage shot off or he

971
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 6: drives inside. And if they can get Steph into foul

972
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 6: trouble because he has been in foul trouble in a

973
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 6: couple of games, that's I think also key. If they

974
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 6: can make it so that Steph defensively has to work.

975
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 6: In Game three, especially when he was in foul trouble,

976
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 6: Marcus Smart really went at him, and I think that's

977
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 6: what they have to do tonight. The Celtics, they haven't,

978
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 6: you know, they've sort of let go of the rope

979
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 6: a little bit. Here and they were in a really

980
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 6: strong position up until the last six minutes of Game four.

981
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 6: They could have been up three to one in this series,

982
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 6: I think, and now they're in a must win situation

983
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 6: just to keep their season alive. So it starts with

984
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 6: Tatum and Brown, as they're two leaders. They've got to

985
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 6: take care of the ball and make sure they're getting

986
00:44:58,880 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 6: good quality shots.

987
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 4: That's what I'm watching for. You mentioned the last six

988
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 4: minutes of Game four, then it happened in Game five,

989
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 4: the late game execution and Tatum in Game five, his

990
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 4: last eight shots were miss airball, airball, miss airball, miss

991
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:17,800
Speaker 4: three air bawl. Wow. Yeah, it's shocking. Inma Udoka, Celtics

992
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 4: head coach mentioned it could be fatigue. Obviously, the Celtics

993
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 4: went to two seven games series prior to the finals,

994
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 4: while the Warriors got the conference finals done in five.

995
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 4: They were resting, they were chilling, and it just hasn't

996
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 4: happened in the fourth quarter for the Celtics. We just

997
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 4: haven't had a tight game either in the finals down

998
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 4: to the wire. We haven't had a final score within

999
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 4: one possession, not even two possessions, not even a final

1000
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 4: score within single digits. Every game has been a double

1001
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 4: digit victory, and I think that's because the Celtics are

1002
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 4: struggling in tight games in the fourth quarter, two games

1003
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 4: in a row, lack of execution down the stretch. Even

1004
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 4: going back to the last couple series, even though they've

1005
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 4: gotten here, they mostly win and blow ut games two

1006
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 4: and four the last two series in games that were

1007
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 4: closed versus the Bucks and the Heat. They blew out

1008
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 4: the Warriors in Game three and their last win in

1009
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 4: this series in Game one, they had that forty point

1010
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 4: fourth quarter where they came back, which was yet.

1011
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 5: Blowout a month ago.

1012
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1013
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 5: Wow.

1014
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 4: So if it does go down to the wire, even

1015
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 4: though this game is in Boston, we just haven't seen them,

1016
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 4: you know, go toe to toe, punch for punch, blow

1017
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 4: for blow with the team here in the finals. So

1018
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 4: will that happen for the Boston Celtics at least once

1019
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 4: in this finals? And are they just guessed? And will

1020
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: this Warriors be able to end it? And that gets

1021
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 4: to our predictions, and I'll start it for us. I

1022
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 4: think the Warriors have a couple of things going on

1023
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 4: their side. You mentioned Curry having an off game, oh

1024
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 4: for nine from three, you expect him to bounce back

1025
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 4: because this was his first game in his playoff history

1026
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 4: where he hadn't hit a three pointer. Going way back,

1027
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 4: he hadn't hit one. So you expect him to bounce back,

1028
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 4: not only just because he was cold and he couldn't

1029
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 4: find his flow and you could see him, you know,

1030
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 4: doing what everybody else does, like mimicking his shot. What's

1031
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,839
Speaker 4: going on here? This is the best shooter of all time,

1032
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 4: but also because the Celtics and m a Udoka changed

1033
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 4: their defense in Game five. It took him till the

1034
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 4: fifth game, which I think was a surprise to everybody,

1035
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 4: including Steph, where they started fronting him. They just started

1036
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 4: tracking him all over the floor. And kudos to the Celtics.

1037
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 4: That was a shock, and I think it shocked Steph

1038
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 4: a little bit, took him out of the game a

1039
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 4: little bit. So I think they react a little bit better,

1040
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 4: maybe have Steph on the ball pick and roll earlier

1041
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 4: in the game, which they don't really want to do

1042
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 4: because it burns out Steph, but maybe they have to.

1043
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 4: I think they'll be ready for that to go along

1044
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 4: with Game six. Clay, I think the Warriors' best players

1045
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 4: will be feeling it tonight. So I would pick the Warriors,

1046
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 4: especially with the late game execution. I don't know if

1047
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: it's fatigue or whatever with the Celtics, but I got

1048
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 4: the Dubs, Trey way, you got.

1049
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 3: Celtics have played a ton of minutes. Tatum number one

1050
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 3: in minutes played so far in the postseason, followed by

1051
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: Brown and Horford going to seven game series. It adds

1052
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 3: up eventually. But the Celtics do go to a lot

1053
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 3: of Game sevens, and we going to Game seven, baby.

1054
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 3: Nothing easy for the Warriors tonight. Nothing easy for the Celtics,

1055
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 3: sometimes for their from their own doing. But they hadn't

1056
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 3: lost back to back games before they lost Game five.

1057
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 3: The Warriors, like I said a couple of days ago,

1058
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: haven't yet won a road elimination game. Something's got to give.

1059
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 4: You know.

1060
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 3: The Warriors fans are saying, we're going to break another

1061
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 3: streak here. But the Celtics have been an incredibly resilient

1062
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 3: team for the entirety of the playoffs, basically since January

1063
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 3: when they turned their season around. It seems like they

1064
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 3: are at their best when their backs are against the wall.

1065
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 3: So I assume we're gonna get a classic game tonight,

1066
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 3: and I'm going with the Bean Town.

1067
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 4: Boys, love the positivity. Classic game. Just give us a classic.

1068
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 4: Gotta be a classic.

1069
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 5: We need one.

1070
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 3: Cruncher.

1071
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1072
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 6: I think the Warriors experience is starting to shine through.

1073
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 6: Down to one, they didn't panic. That was saying, hey man,

1074
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 6: we've been here before. We feel good about ourselves, and

1075
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 6: the last two games if a pretty good job of

1076
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 6: showing that. And Andrew Wiggins has.

1077
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 5: Been really, really good overall.

1078
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 6: I think their second best player of the finals here,

1079
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 6: and that's huge for the Warriors because they can afford

1080
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 6: a night where Steph doesn't have a great game and

1081
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 6: still win that one. I don't expect Steph to go

1082
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 6: over nine tonight. I expect him to make one three.

1083
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 6: That's I'm going on the rec that's make a three

1084
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 6: pointed tonight. But again, I think that is where experience

1085
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 6: really plays out. It's like, hey man, we don't all

1086
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 6: have to be at our best every single night. We've

1087
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 6: got other guys who can contribute and play well. It's

1088
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 6: going to be tough. It's going to be a very

1089
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 6: hostile environment there in Boston. We heard it last week.

1090
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 6: It was super loud. They're going to be making noise

1091
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 6: as much as they can out there. But I just

1092
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 6: think the Warriors have realized, like, we don't want to

1093
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 6: go to Game seven either. We want to close this

1094
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 6: out tonight if we can, even though they're at home,

1095
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 6: if it would to go to go the distance here,

1096
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 6: they want to end it, and I think they're going

1097
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 6: to tonight in it.

1098
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 5: But I do think we are going to get a

1099
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 5: close one.

1100
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 6: It's not going to be a blow, but I think

1101
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 6: under double digits the result is going to be And

1102
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 6: Steph makes one three.

1103
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 5: There you go, take that to the paint.

1104
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred and thirty two games with a three,

1105
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 4: only one without a three for Steph Curry and his

1106
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 4: playoffs career. And Trey mentioned on our Immediate Reaction podcast

1107
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 4: after Game five and that one that you will get

1108
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 4: after Game six tonight that the Warriors are over. They're

1109
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 4: oh for three in their ability or with their chances

1110
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 4: to close out a team this postseason in the first opportunity,

1111
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 4: maybe lost. The Nuggets lost to the Grizzlies and lost

1112
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 4: to the Mas in their first opportunity to close out

1113
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 4: the games or close out the series, and that obviously

1114
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 4: happens tonight for the first time. So we shall see.

1115
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 4: But I do hope we're going to a game seven, baby.

1116
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,399
Speaker 4: I did see a photo of Zaza Peculia, who works

1117
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 4: for the Warriors, uh from our man Marcus Thompson at

1118
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 4: the Athletic Jamal Crawford's son wanted to meet Steph Curry

1119
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 4: after a game. So that was taking place, and Zaza

1120
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 4: Peculia was there with his uh, with his floods, his

1121
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 4: pants shown off, his ankles taking up. He's there, he's

1122
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 4: a He's sorry, I only have it on my computer.

00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 4: You're not seeing it on YouTube though. He does look great.

1124
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 4: He looks great, and he's like a J Crew model.

1125
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 3: He's where new balances with a khakis and a blazer.

1126
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 3: Fancy guy. Do you think the Warriors if they lose it,

1127
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 3: do you think they have Zaza do a.

1128
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 4: Go going to Game seven?

1129
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 5: Liked for the internet kind of video, I hope.

1130
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 2: So that's a great question.

1131
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, great question.

1132
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,680
