A lot of pro 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: bouncy ball talk here, as we asked the question where 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: does Bradley Beal go at the fork in the road 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: that he's having with the Suns. Also, are you picking 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: up what Kentavious calledwell Pope is putting down on what 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: makes a superstar? We'll discuss that. And does Jonas Valancunis 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: have ulterior motives by threatening to leave the NBA, never 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: play for the Nuggets after he was traded this week 10 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: and go playing grease. We'll go there as well. It's 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: all coming your way right now here. It is our 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: number two.

This hour 33 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: is from the Valley of the Sun and a big shakeup. 34 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: Now it hasn't happened yet, big shakeup though on tap, 35 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: allegedly in the Grand Canyon State, like a monsoon coming 36 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: in this time of the year. If you have not 37 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: been paying attention to the scuttle but perhaps not, we 38 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 1: have learned that the once proud Sons basketball team discussing 39 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: a potential massive buyout of Bradley Beal. It would be 40 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: by buy Beal is what it would be now if 41 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: you have not paid attention, Bradley Beal's time in Phoenix 42 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: has been the daily double. It has been injuries and 43 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: underwhelming performers. Now since Bradley Beal is one of only 44 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: two two players in the entire NBA with a no 45 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: trade clause. You know who the other one is. It's 46 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: not Bronnie No, it's not Bronnie j No, not Luca No, 47 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: not Jason Table, not Steph Curry, Lebron Yeah. So Bradley 48 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: Beal and lebron the only players with no trade clause 49 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: is now. Beal has been incredibly difficult for the Suns 50 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: to handle because he's bad at basketball right now and 51 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: they can't get rid of him. So if he accepts 52 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: a buyout that if he does that, he would have 53 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: to give up his no trade class because he wouldn't 54 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: be able to contract anymore. He would also be an 55 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent allowed to roam around the NBA. I 56 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: know you're very concerned about where he ends up in 57 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: the United States or Canada once he clears waivers. Now 58 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: Phoenix will need Bradley Beal to leave a good chunk 59 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: of money on the table. Now, per the rules, not 60 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: to get the manu sha, but per the rules, the 61 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: amount of salary the sons have finagled the books. Now 62 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: I'm a salary cap truther. I'm a salary cap truther. 63 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: But they cannot exceed fifteen percent of the salary cap 64 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: the salary they stretch out. So it's I'm not an 65 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: accountant either of you, I assume. So let us discuss 66 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: the question where does Bradley beal go. He's at a 67 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: fork in the road. Where does Bradley beal go at 68 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: this fork in the road with the suns. So I've 69 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: got quantum leap, inflation crisis, and one legged duck quack 70 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: quack quack quack will combine all of these things together, 71 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: and we are going to make a delicious cheese steak sandwich, 72 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: which hot take better than a hot dog, better than 73 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: a burger. The cheese steak sam properly may properly may 74 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: proper amount of cheese, proper amount of steak, and then 75 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: a proper amount of onion pepper. All that all right? 76 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: So number wa, I said, number Wa, Bradley beer. What 77 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: he's trying to do here is a hoodini. He's trying 78 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: to Hoodeni his way out of the gilded cage covered 79 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,559 Speaker 1: in gold, And he's the one that built the gilded cage? 80 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: Right will he or won't he? So right now, oh 81 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: the drama, Bradley Beal is staring down a desert mirage 82 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: there in Arizona. It's the ghost of his own past 83 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: and his past decisions, and so he's like, what am 84 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 1: I going to do? Well, it's right there in front. 85 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: It's like a heatstroke hallucination over the valley of the Sun. 86 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Now he's taken since he put on that Sun's uniform, 87 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: he has taken part and a very public quantum leap. 88 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: He has gone from underrated stars stuck in DC right 89 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: with ostrich Ant Washington played basketball and nobody else and 90 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, all boohoo, Bradley Beal good play on a 91 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: bad team, if only he played on a good team. 92 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: And then he went to a team that was supposed 93 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: to be good. And now he's changed his identity. Bradley 94 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: Beal now identifies as overpaid bust with a no trade falls. 95 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: That's his new identity. So that's a quantum leap. And 96 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: so he's not just trying to leave Phoenix. He's trying 97 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: to rewrite the narrative, assuming he cares about that before 98 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: it fossilizes, and that's it. Bradley Beal needs to agree 99 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: to give up a large amount of the one hundred 100 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: and ten point eight million in guaranteed salary remaining on 101 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: his contract for all of that to take place. So 102 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: it's an easy move. 103 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 2: Here. 104 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: The Malord think tank has been activated. Here's the advice, 105 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: unsolicited overnight talk radio advice to Bradley Beial. You give 106 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: up twenty point eight million of the one hundred and 107 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: ten point eight million. You give up twenty point eight million. 108 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: That gets you down to ninety million dollars. And if 109 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: you can't make ends meet on ninety million dollars, you've 110 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: done something terribly wrong. It is still larger. Ninety million 111 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: dollars is larger than the lottery payout in pretty much 112 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: every state right now in these United States on the 113 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: fourth of July for reference, Lotto Texas the jackpot is 114 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: thirty three and a half million, the New York Lottery 115 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: fifteen point three million. How about Mega Millions, which is 116 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: in a number of states across the country sixty million dollars. 117 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: So Bradley Beal, if he gave up twenty point eight, 118 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: he would still have thirty million dollars more coming to 119 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: him than the current jackpot in the Mega millions. And 120 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: you can make that money back. And what do you do? 121 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: You get into it the into It Dome in the 122 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: Hood and Inglewood. That's where Steve Balmer's Clippers play in 123 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: LA and Balmer not only owns the Clippers, he's also 124 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: been running a reputation rehab where he brings in troubled 125 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: NBA players, much to my dismay, like Ben Simmons and 126 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: a couple of years back, Russell Westbrook. If you're on 127 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: the NBA scrap heap made a lot of money and 128 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: used to be good, the Clippers will take you, no 129 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: questions asked, no questions asked, and Bradley Meal come on down, 130 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: all right. Meanwhile, we now go to the words of KCP, 131 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: not KFC KCP. That's Kentavious Caldwell Pope, not a real pope. 132 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: He's a journeyman guard. So he recently explained in a 133 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: podcast interview that both Tyrese Haliburton and Donovan Spider Mitchell 134 00:08:53,240 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: are not superstars o MG. Now for Kentavious Callwell Pope, 135 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: he says a superstar must be held to a higher standard, 136 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: and he believes that it's the consistency that sets apart 137 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: the best of the best. That was his argument, he says. 138 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: He mentioned Lebron and Sga and Nicole jokichen Giannis who 139 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: almost always complete the deal. They don't disappear in playoff 140 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: games and all that, and they contribute to the box score. 141 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 1: He has a lot of people get stats in basketball 142 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: and low information fans think they're better than they are. 143 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: So question, are you picking up what Conavious colboll Pope 144 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: is trying to put down here on what makes a superstar? 145 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: So on this one, after a minutes long Mallard deliberation, 146 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: I am nodding my head. Yes, Kentavious decided to light 147 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: a match on the fourth of July. Well it was 148 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: actually earlier on that, but light a match under the 149 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: what he believes is the myth of Tyrese Haliburton and 150 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell and their stardom. So I would like to 151 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: rephrase the argument because I think I can phrase it better. 152 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: So I'd like to rephrase it the NBA. What he's 153 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: saying to me, this is how I interpret it. Like 154 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: fine art. The NBA has a superstar inflation crisis, a 155 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: superstar inflation crisis. And what he's saying is everyone who 156 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: has a jump shot and you know, some kind of 157 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: signature shoe and a sizzle reel on social media is 158 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: knighted like they're the reincarnation of Air Jordan. You might 159 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: remember during the the finals, SGA was being compared to 160 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, who goofed. I've got to know so anyway, 161 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: col Wo Pope, he didn't mince his words. He called 162 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: Haliburton a fifty to fifty guy and said he would 163 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: not build the team around Spider Mitchell. Why because he 164 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: said the superstars they don't just fill the statue, they win, 165 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: they elevate their teams and all that. He show up 166 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: in the on the big stage. All those cliches, right, 167 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: all those cliches, and the reference was to Halliburton, who 168 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: made several game winning shots in the playoff, like that 169 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: shot at Madison Square Garden one of the great postseason 170 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: shots that I've seen in a long time in my life. 171 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: It's got to be top five playoff shot. Most of 172 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: the other ones are mister big Shot, Robert Orri but 173 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: Halliburton made several big shots. He also had four points 174 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: and was oer of six. Remember that playoff game, but 175 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: it was game five of the finals against against okay See. 176 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: Had four points and no field goals made, no field 177 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: goals made. Now, Spider Mitchell is the NBA's version in Cleveland, 178 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: and he was the same way in Utah. He's the 179 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 1: summer blockbuster that never gets any oscar buzz because it's 180 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: got cartoon characters in it. It's loud, you know, a 181 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: lot of explosions, it's flashy, and then yeah, I kind 182 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: of forget about it, and by the time the buttered 183 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: popcorn has left the bucket, you've moved on to something else. 184 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: But a superstar isn't just someone who gets the baskets right, 185 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: someone who changes the temperature the room. And so I 186 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: would combine what he said he being the aforementioned Kentavious 187 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: called Will Pope with what Magic Johnson said. We talked 188 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: about this in a previous episode of So Magic's on 189 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: a yacht right now with Rodney Pete somewhere in Europe. 190 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: But Magic Johnson said that a true superstar doesn't just dominate, 191 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: they fill the arena. Now, he also talked about inspirational that, 192 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: but I box office like, that's a big part of it. 193 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: And are people going out of their way to buy 194 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: tickets to watch Spider Mitchell eh no sga eh now 195 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: all right, final point, developing drama, developing weekend drama, Mile 196 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: High City. The Nuggets made a move which is not 197 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: official yet as the teas have not been crossed and 198 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: the eyes have not been dieted dotted. The newest addition 199 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: to the Nuggets, Yonas Valentunis, great name, great regular season player, 200 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: limited in the playoffs. Limited in the playoffs. So Yonas 201 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: Valentiunis was traded from Sacramento to Denver's not official yet. 202 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: He may never play for the Nuggets. May never play 203 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: for the Nuggets. After all, He's thirty three years old 204 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: from Lithuania and the reports we're hearing now he's close 205 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: to accepting an offer from a Greek powerhouse team in 206 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: Athens to move to Athens and play there. Valentunas could 207 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: soon sign a three year contract twelve million dollars. There's 208 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 1: a problem, he's currently under contract with the Sacramento Kings. 209 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: That contract is going to be transferred to the Denver 210 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: Nuggets for ten point four million for one year, So 211 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: that NBA contract includes a team option to extend him 212 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: for another year. It's beginning to look to some as 213 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: low Valenternists would actually prefer to play overseas. And so 214 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: that news comes just a couple of days after that 215 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: trade was announced. Not a major trade, but people are 216 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: getting all horny because the Nuggets improve their bench and 217 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: Valenteris is supposed to be part of that. Denver unloaded 218 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: one of their bad contracts to get Valenteers. So the 219 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: question does Yonas Valentnis have ulterior motives by threatening to 220 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: leave the NBA before he ever wears a Nuggets uniform 221 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: and go play for a team in Greece? So does 222 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: he have ulterior motives? Does a one legged duck swimming 223 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: circle bingo? Right? And this is not about I want 224 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: to be clear, this is not where he actually wants 225 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: to play for the team in Greece. I don't buy that. 226 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: This is not Wonder Lost or anything like that. It 227 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: is a contract negotiation with a side of sauce, Suzeki sauce. 228 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 3: Right. 229 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: I mean this is a classic euro I'm dangling this 230 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: European contract and everyone knows the playbook. We've seen this before. 231 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: It hasn't been used that often recently, but Valentis is like, listen, 232 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play for the Nuggets. You're gonna have 233 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: me as a backup, which means my stats aren't gonna 234 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: be that good. I'm thirty three. By the time I'm 235 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: up for my next contract, i'll be thirty four years old, 236 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna pay me the amount of money I want. 237 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: So give me another year or guarantee you're gonna buy 238 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: out my contract and I'll be able to be a 239 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: free agent at the end of the year. Right, So 240 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: he's essentially he's looking at his money. He realizes he's 241 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: passed his prime. Valentiunis. He's like, all right, I'll take 242 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: my hammer and I'll crack open the piggy bank and 243 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: I'll hornswoggle the Nuggets to pay me to be a backup, 244 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: and I'll squeeze a few more shekels out of the 245 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets or else I'll go eat. I'll eat some 246 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: great food in Athens, you know, seven days a week, 247 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: and I'll be loving that, just having a grand old time, 248 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: amazing time.
