You ain't got no ski mask, 176 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: you ain't got nothing. 177 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 6: You ain't got no You're just going like That's how 178 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 6: there real is though, Like you know, like against Jack, 179 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 6: you're gonna put your position. You gotta make the play, 180 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 6: you know, that's all that matters. And I feel like 181 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 6: this Rams defense, it's it's a it's a way more 182 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 6: complex defense, you know what I'm saying. We run tons 183 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 6: of different coverages, Like it's subages that I'm I'm learning 184 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 6: about this year. I ain't even know it was coverage, 185 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. So it's a real complex 186 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 6: defense and it fits us because we got real smart 187 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 6: players on our defense, you know what I'm saying. 188 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: That can think on the fly. You know what I'm saying. 189 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 6: We communicate very well, like this defense, communication is key 190 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 6: for sure. 191 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 192 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 7: And it's funny when you talk about defenses being very 193 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 7: complex and you're able to do more with the defense 194 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 7: when you had the right players with the right skill 195 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 7: set and can communicate. It brings me back to that 196 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 7: two thousand Ravens, that two thousand, two thousand Steelers defense. 197 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 7: But KC they used to run defenses that weren't even 198 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 7: on film. They weren't on film, and people were always 199 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 7: out of position, but they were so good with a 200 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 7: great understanding of being able to communicate, and when the 201 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 7: ball snaps, they'll fly back through exactly where they're supposed 202 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 7: to be at. 203 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 3: But it was so confusing for me as an offensive player. 204 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 7: So the fact that you guys are able to do that, 205 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 7: to run complex stuff that you really don't see on film. 206 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: You really don't know. 207 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 7: What's coming, and keep an offense thinking all the time, 208 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 7: especially at the snap and after the snap of the ball, 209 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 7: you're always having an advantage, always have an advantage defensively for sure. 210 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: Man, Cam, I'm looking at you. Guys are schedules. 211 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: You got the Saints, Niners, Seahawks, Bucks, Panthers, Cars, Lions, Seahawks, Falcons, Cardinals.

But to me, 223 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 7: Davonte Adams is still the best rock runner in the league. 224 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 5: Like playing with him. 225 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 6: But it's crazy, man, just starting off like at practice, 226 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 6: just watching them every day at practice and being able 227 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 6: to go against those type of guys every day. 228 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 4: It makes us a. 229 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 6: Lot better as a defense because every every team you're 230 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 6: not seeing that every day, you know, every day. 231 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 4: So that's that's just making us better. 232 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 6: And then the ad Matthew Stafford in the mix with 233 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 6: those two, like it's crazy, but like it's just it's 234 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 6: amazing to see in practice. 235 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 2: And it's hard to like why follow the quarterback eyes 236 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: and Matthew Stafford looking over here and he throwing the 237 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: ball over there, over there, throw the ball over here. 238 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: You're like, coach, why you go there?

Man. 821 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 2: Jess Woody Johnson made headlines last week for some hardest 822 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 2: comments he gave them by Justin Fields. Johnson is hard 823 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 2: when you have a quarterback with a rating. 824 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: That we got. If we could just complete a pass, 825 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:50,439 Speaker 1: it would look good. 826 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 2: According to former two quarterback Jordan Travis, these are the 827 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 2: only troubling comments Johnson has made to one of the 828 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 2: team's quarterbacks despite dealing with his leg injury. Travis remembers 829 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: Johnson asking him, are you ever gonna get healthy? 830 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: Travis? 831 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 2: There were things that were said to me, not obviulusly 832 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 2: to that point, because I never got in the field 833 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 2: to play about my leg, just slick comments. I don't 834 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 2: know if he was trying to be slick about it 835 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,400 Speaker 2: or you know how some older men just say whatever 836 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 2: comes to their mind. And that kind of made me 837 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 2: feel a certain type of way, now how you feeling? 838 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 2: Never that there was always comments like that, it's either 839 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: upoint a finger at Justin Fields or Aaron glaf for 840 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 2: the Jets troubles. But Robert Salad seems to be the 841 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 2: coach defense really well for the forty nine ers. Aaron 842 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 2: Rodgers looked pretty good at Pittsburgh. Sam Donald two, Oh, Joe, Joe. 843 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: How much blame should we place on hornership led by 844 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 2: Woody Johnson for the long, long history of Jets failure? 845 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 7: I mean, listen, are you similar to the quarterback Situay 846 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 7: through the Chiago Bears for the long long history of 847 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 7: affairs that that position as well. I mean management is 848 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 7: the blame as well for the long, long long failures 849 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 7: for the quarterback position with the Jets. Most of the time, 850 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 7: the identity for the Jets has always been their defense. 851 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 7: That has always been the better part of the successful 852 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 7: part of their their their team. Obviously not this year, 853 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,399 Speaker 7: and obviously offense not this year. Is well, But I thought, 854 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 7: I really thought this was justin fields year. 855 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: I thought it would have been his year. 856 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 3: He had nothing to worry about. He had nobody eyeing 857 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 3: over his shoulder. 858 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 7: It was his team, his team to win, and his 859 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 7: team and lose. Uh, they're one and seven, obviously beating 860 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 7: my Bengals, but it is what it is. But I 861 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 7: think at some point they will turn it around. I 862 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 7: think he can be the. 863 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 3: Future for the New York Jets. Is he gonna get 864 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 3: that opportunity to be? 865 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 7: After Woody Johnson came out and said some of the 866 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 7: things he said publicly that most owners would say to 867 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 7: themselves or people up stairs, you don't yeah, yeah, you 868 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 7: never say anything like that publicly. But it seemed like 869 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 7: since Jerry Jones said, what do he needs to say? 870 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 7: Other owners are now having the owners and the wirewithal 871 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:00,800 Speaker 7: the say you know what, forget it. 872 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say how I'm feeling and let him know. 873 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 7: And it has to it has to hurt to know 874 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 7: that your owner feels that way, and I still got 875 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 7: to go out there and. 876 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 1: Play for him. 877 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 8: Hey, look, I kind of I kind of I agree 878 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 8: kind of with Justin Fields. I mean, you got other 879 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 8: guys who can play for their franchise man quarterbacks, and 880 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 8: they went off and you know, play for other organizations 881 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 8: and well, so therefore, yeah, you gotta start up top 882 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 8: with the organization and how things have been ran because 883 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 8: for whatever reason, they hadn't been getting you know, great outcomes. Obviously, 884 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 8: Justin Fields played great this past week, but man, you 885 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 8: hope he can build confidence from that and try to 886 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 8: you know, continue to you know, play at the elite level. 887 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: They got to prove the roster overall, O Joe. I mean, yeah, 888 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: but that's hard. You know, how much time. 889 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 3: Will they give Aaron Gillion the time to improve the 890 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 3: right I. 891 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 2: Think because a played there, I think he'll probably have 892 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:07,800 Speaker 2: a little longer. I think he'll have a little longer 893 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 2: lee way than most. I don't want to. I don't 894 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,040 Speaker 2: want to say what we would normally say, a longer 895 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 2: leads because I just try to be politically correct. I 896 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 2: think he'll have a a longer opportunity to stay than 897 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 2: probably most because of this history with the organization and 898 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 2: how well he's played for the organization and what he 899 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 2: knows him personally. So yes, I do think he'll have 900 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 2: a But look, I don't care who you are. If 901 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 2: your quarterback doesn't play well, it's hard for you to 902 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 2: win in this league. 903 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 7: It's hard, very but a young a Joe, situations matter. 904 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,879 Speaker 7: The situations on where you play surrounding you is very 905 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 7: very important. Joe, I can't think of it in basketball terms, 906 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,280 Speaker 7: but maybe Uncle Joe, you you could probably probably relate 907 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 7: to it. Who would be Daniel Jones on the New 908 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,399 Speaker 7: York Giants in basketball terms? And then all of aus 909 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 7: Daniel Jones, that player actually leaving said team and going 910 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 7: to where else and succeeding the way Daniel Jones is 911 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 7: succeeding in Indianapolis. Who would that be in basketball terms? 912 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 1: Who would that be? 913 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 2: Uh? 914 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,800 Speaker 9: Because Daniel Jones balling killing it? 915 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to let me. 916 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:27,040 Speaker 8: See the only thing is that Brunton didn't he I mean, 917 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 8: he left the Mavericks and went to New York and 918 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 8: he balling in New York as the team. 919 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 1: But that was yeah, he was back. 920 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 5: You know what I mean. 921 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 2: Ain't nobody. Ain't nobody who overshined Luca not now? Yeah, yeah, 922 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 2: he was backing up Luca. But he went off and 923 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 2: you know, obviously you know what he's doing in New 924 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 2: York right now. 925 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: But uh who. 926 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 9: Because I mean, they let Daniel Jones go. They just 927 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,400 Speaker 9: they they let him walk. 928 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 2: On the yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, and he ended up 929 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 2: he went to Uh didn't he go to Minnesota for year? 930 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 5: What? 931 00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? 932 00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 3: He was the backup. He was the backup in Minnesota 933 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 3: when the Minnesota then went on down to and. 934 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:12,479 Speaker 5: Uh in basketball, I don't know, man, uh. 935 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: No, but he played. 936 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 9: He was good in Chicago. Who was Jimmy Butler? Yeah, 937 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 9: Jimmy was good. 938 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,880 Speaker 3: Jimmy been good everywhere, went on Chicago, Philly. He's always 939 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 3: been consistent. I mean what he does well. 940 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 2: See. The thing is is that we thought, we thought, 941 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 2: if you go back and look at Brunson when Luca 942 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 2: was out, he showed you what he can do if 943 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 2: he had his own team. Yeah yeah, go back to look, 944 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 2: go back and look at when Luca missed that time, 945 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 2: and look at what Brunton was doing. So now he 946 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 2: got his own team, he's gonna be the primary ball handler. 947 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 2: He's gonna be the primary shot taker. I don't think 948 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 2: anybody is surprised by this. Now, maybe maybe the guy 949 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 2: averaged twenty six twenty seven points a game and as 950 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,279 Speaker 2: many thirty point games he's had, But I thought he 951 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 2: would be really now that I think he'd be an 952 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 2: All NBA selection. I wouldn't go that far, but I 953 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 2: thought he could make the All Star team. I thought 954 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 2: he could make an All Star team because the guy 955 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 2: that playing that well in spurts when he has the 956 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 2: ball in his hand and they say okay and. 957 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: Uh ki kid like okay, we need you to do 958 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 1: more of a role and not be so boom. 959 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 5: We saw that. 960 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 2: But look, yeah, James Harden, we saw what he was. 961 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 2: Remember you, six Man of the Year. I'm sure people 962 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 2: thought he could be good, but not averaging thirty six 963 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 2: point a night, good, not changing the game, good with 964 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 2: that step back? 965 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:45,200 Speaker 1: No no, uh who else was like that? Now with 966 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,799 Speaker 1: Shade just didn't get a chance to play. 967 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 2: If Shane got a chance to play, and plus look 968 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 2: he was he was not gonna do that with the 969 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 2: Not with Kawhi you had just gave. You had just 970 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 2: think about what you got with Kawhi. Kawhi was gonna 971 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 2: be the main ball handler. Shae's in a situation. Shade 972 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 2: knows he can get as many shots as he wants, 973 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 2: and he ain't stepping on nobody's toes. The Clippers they 974 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,240 Speaker 2: didn't want, they weren't gonna wait for No, they couldn't 975 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,040 Speaker 2: because why you bringing Kawhi? 976 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: And Kawi wants to win now? 977 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 2: And he basically basically said, if you don't get me, 978 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,400 Speaker 2: Paul George, I'm going with the Lakers. Can you imagine Kawhi, 979 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 2: Lebron and a D and then you playing in the 980 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 2: basement with that? No, they had to they had they 981 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:31,800 Speaker 2: had to do it. 982 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 7: O Joe, I mean, hold on, hold on, I have 983 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 7: a question, Joe, Joe, And if the Clippers knew what 984 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 7: they knew now about Shaving, how how he was traded him, 985 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 7: they would So how do you not see how do 986 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 7: you not see it? 987 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 2: Because because he wasn't a rookie O Joe and no 988 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 2: rookie because you got to realize he wasn't the first 989 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,839 Speaker 2: pick in the draft. He wasn't a d he wasn't 990 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 2: Zion that you're running your offense through. So now he's 991 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 2: a SITI situation. He's the offense. So you they're away listen. 992 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 2: Just like James Harden. Now, people thought James could be 993 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 2: good because he was a great ISO player when they 994 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 2: when KD and Russ went to the bitch, James Harden 995 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 2: was sensational. But sensational is averaging sixteen points a game. 996 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 2: He averaged thirty six. He had games where he went 997 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 2: like thirty forty games. He's average getting thirty a night, 998 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 2: sixty point triple doubles, fifty point triple doubles. But he 999 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 2: knows it's a lot easier to play, O Joe, if 1000 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 2: you the number one and you know you're gonna get 1001 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 2: twelve thirteen, fourteen targets a. 1002 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 3: Game, right, Right, But I understand that, right. 1003 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 7: But the basketball heads that are in the Clippers organization, 1004 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 7: those that have been watching the game, scout GMS and 1005 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 7: understanding you have an eye for talent. There's a certain 1006 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 7: thing that we can see called the it factor. It's 1007 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,359 Speaker 7: called the eye test. Even if it's not his team, 1008 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:58,840 Speaker 7: you can tell when the player is gonna be special. 1009 00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: You can look at it. 1010 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 3: There their skill set, what they can and what they 1011 00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 3: can do. 1012 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 7: And when you look at Shay's game on both ends 1013 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 7: of the court, that's somebody that you say this MF 1014 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,400 Speaker 7: is special, not letting him go. 1015 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,399 Speaker 1: I think that the Clippers knew he was special. I've 1016 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: seen Doc River. 1017 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 8: He said that was the hardest thing to put in 1018 00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 8: the trade, was to add Shay into that trade because 1019 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 8: he knew that Shaye was gonna be pretty good. I 1020 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 8: don't know if he thought he was gonna be in, 1021 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 8: but he knew he was gonna be good. And then 1022 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 8: on top of that, Ojo you never know, Like for Shae, 1023 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,320 Speaker 8: maybe that was great for his career because they probably 1024 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 8: put a little fire in him, you know what I 1025 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:38,920 Speaker 8: mean to be like, all right, they got rid of me, 1026 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 8: I'm gonna show him, you know what I mean. And 1027 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 8: now he's playing at at a level to where I 1028 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,640 Speaker 8: don't think nobody's seen this bro. He's he's a bucket. 1029 00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 8: He's thirty points every night, give a take. I don't care, 1030 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 8: I don't care what what happened. 1031 00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 2: He gonna have thirty and plus the biggest fridge and 1032 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,360 Speaker 2: available was Kawhi. Kawhi said, if you don't get me, 1033 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 2: Paul George, I'm going to sign with the Lakers. Do 1034 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 2: you really want Lebron James, Kawhi, Leonard and a D 1035 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 2: in the building that you play in? Do you really 1036 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:11,600 Speaker 2: want that to happen? 1037 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 3: Realistic? 1038 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:18,160 Speaker 9: He was going home. 1039 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 8: He was going Kawhi was going back to l A. 1040 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 8: I don't know you know what team yet, but he 1041 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 8: was going back to l A for sure. 1042 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 3: Okay, that's crazy. 1043 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 7: How how players, especially NBA players can control where they 1044 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 7: want to go. They can pick and choose where they 1045 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 7: want to go if they if they say I want to, 1046 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 7: I want to I want to. 1047 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 3: Trade, I don't want to be here more.

But the movie. 1049 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 8: Superstars the way you have to because if a guy 1050 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 8: only has one one year left on his deal Ojo, 1051 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 8: and he's telling you you know, he ain't signing back 1052 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,399 Speaker 8: in so many words, then you gotta you gotta trade 1053 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 8: him to get something back. 1054 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 1055 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,440 Speaker 2: What dude, OKC was Kevin Durant walked out the door 1056 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:55,160 Speaker 2: and didn't get nothing. 1057 00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 4: For him. 1058 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 5: Yep. 1059 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 2: I imagine if you could have traded in before see 1060 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 2: he walked out the door and you didn't get anything nothing. 1061 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,120 Speaker 2: Kd at his prime walks out of your door and 1062 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 2: you don't get anything for him. 1063 00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:13,799 Speaker 1: The same thing. 1064 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: Had the the Clippers could have tried to just got 1065 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 2: the Clippers the horn the hornet, not the Hornets. The 1066 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,960 Speaker 2: Pelicans could have tried to play hardball. But at contract 1067 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 2: was coming up. Do you really want Anthony Davis to 1068 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 2: walk out of there and you don't get nothing for him? 1069 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 1: And you the Pelican? Ain't nobody coming to the New Orleans. 1070 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's a great city. 1071 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,279 Speaker 2: I mean, the jazz and the food is amazing, but 1072 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,480 Speaker 2: you're not getting superstars to come down of New Orleans. 1073 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: You're just not. 1074 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 5: So you have to. 1075 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 1: You don't have a choice, right, So so what what 1076 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 1: do I? What do I do? O? Joe? 1077 00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 2: And like I said, yes, I think Doc realized that 1078 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,040 Speaker 2: Shay was gonna be good, But I don't know if 1079 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:59,239 Speaker 2: Doc thought he'd be this good. The reason why they 1080 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,239 Speaker 2: kept Tom Brad they kept four quarterbacks that year. Coach 1081 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 2: Belichick said, well, a little work, he thought he could 1082 00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,839 Speaker 2: be good. You thought he's gonna be seven seven Super Bowls, good, 1083 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 2: fifteen pro bows. You thought he was gonna be the 1084 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:15,319 Speaker 2: all time leader and passes touchdowns, wins, super Bowl wins, 1085 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 2: super Bowl MVPs. You thought he's gonna be that good 1086 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 2: because if you did, you took him in the first round, 1087 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 2: you wouldn't took him in the sixth round. And you 1088 00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 2: guess what, you have started him from day one, so 1089 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,520 Speaker 2: you didn't know, you thought he could be good.
