Speaker 1: This is the drop. It's Friday. Lebron's going to give
Speaker 1: us a show on the weekend. Of course he is.
Speaker 1: This is no dunks presented by Fan Duel. I'm Testmels
Speaker 1: with me. It's the man in the middle, Treykrby. He
Speaker 1: and the man always making the magic happen. It's JD.
Speaker 2: Hello, what's up?
Speaker 1: JD. We will get to Worse the Week with Lebron
Speaker 1: later on. Wasn't Lebron? Who's worse the week? We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 3: He ain't doing nothing week.
Speaker 1: Well, apparently he had some things said. That's true according
Speaker 1: to a host radio. We'll get the Blazers, firings and stuff,
Speaker 1: anything else you want to talk about before we get
Speaker 1: into our draft.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, we had to cut Jordan Walsh at
Speaker 3: the last second. A great deal for the Celtics to
Speaker 3: bring back Jordan Walsh, and that's all that needs.
Speaker 1: To be said.
Speaker 3: A great deal.
Speaker 1: It is a good deal.
Speaker 3: Three for fifteen. Great.
Speaker 1: But first, let's get to players under the most pressure
Speaker 1: via a draft. Let's draft guys, as we survey the
Speaker 1: landscape and determine, Okay, signings here, signings there, which player
Speaker 1: is actually under the most pressure? Trey you get that
Speaker 1: first pick of this draft.
Speaker 3: I'll get it started. We're going tray for Trey here.
Speaker 3: Trey Young, to me is a player who is under
Speaker 3: a ton of pressure coming into this season for the Wizards.
Speaker 3: Got a lot of dough four years, two hundred and
Speaker 3: thirteen million dollar contract from Washington that comes after playing
Speaker 3: fifteen games last season. Tasmellus, that's not very many. I
Speaker 3: think he only played five for the Wizards. They lost
Speaker 3: all five of those. But look Trey Young. His reputation,
Speaker 3: it ain't great right now around the league, probably the
Speaker 3: lowest it's ever been. But he's going to be twenty
Speaker 3: eight at the start of the season. Still young, still
Speaker 3: young enough to be in the middle of his prime.
Speaker 3: He was also an All Star in the twenty four
Speaker 3: and twenty five seasons, led the league and assists in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. That ain't that far away. I think
Speaker 3: he's still a good player and maybe the most encouraging
Speaker 3: thing for Trey for the Wizards, pretty low bar for
Speaker 3: success in Washington. They're coming off a seventeen win season,
Speaker 3: worst in the league. They got the number one draft pick.
Speaker 3: They haven't won more than thirty five games since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3: They haven't finished higher than twelve since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: And maybe this is crazy, but I think both could
Speaker 3: happen this year. I think if the Blazer or if
Speaker 3: the Wizards win thirty six games, that would be their
Speaker 3: most wins since twenty eighteen, and last year that would
Speaker 3: have been eleventh in the Eastern Conference. I think that
Speaker 3: would be an awesome season for Washington, doubling their wins,
Speaker 3: flirting with the play and I think that's got to
Speaker 3: be the goal for Washington. We'll see what they end
Speaker 3: up doing with Anthony Davis, but I think Trey Young
Speaker 3: getting this gigantic contract while they have Aj Debonce that
Speaker 3: coming in, It's like, is this going to be bad
Speaker 3: for Debonce's development or is Trey go to be helpful.
Speaker 3: We'll see as time goes on, but yeah, this is
Speaker 3: a guy to me where it's like people are pretty
Speaker 3: down on Trey Young. He got traded for nothing, He
Speaker 3: got traded for CJ. McCollum and Corey Kisperton at the deadline,
Speaker 3: and then somehow got the crazy two hundred and thirteen
Speaker 3: million dollar contracts, so people are looking at him sideways.
Speaker 3: He's got to play pretty well. To be worth that
Speaker 3: big of a contract, and if he plays well, the
Speaker 3: Wizards will look better.
Speaker 1: Trey Young is a fun one. Trey Young's good because, yeah,
Speaker 1: he gets paid all that money, and really, what is
Speaker 1: the pressure on him to win twenty five games? I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess so you can look at it both ways.
Speaker 1: You can say this team has been in the teens
Speaker 1: of wins the last three seasons and now you've got
Speaker 1: this guy who's getting paid that much money. He can
Speaker 1: look at it both both ways. You just got to
Speaker 1: be a good player to win that many games. But
Speaker 1: it is on him to play a lot of games.
Speaker 3: A Yeah, you said they want him to play for sure,
Speaker 3: and he's in general, he's been pretty healthy. You know,
Speaker 3: he can play seven plus games pretty regularly during a season.
Speaker 3: But I also think there's a little bit of pressure
Speaker 3: on Trey to change the way he played. You know,
Speaker 3: he would definitely get the selfish knock in Atlanta. Seems
Speaker 3: like even if he would lead the league in assists,
Speaker 3: people would be like, yeah, but he's not passing the
Speaker 3: ball unless he gets an assist. He wouldn't do anything
Speaker 3: off the ball. He's gonna have to get guys more involved.
Speaker 3: Assuming Davis sticks around. That's a mouth to feed. Deboncea
Speaker 3: has a mouth to feed. They've got some players who
Speaker 3: were there prior to Trey Young. He's going to have
Speaker 3: to be more of a point guard than a combo
Speaker 3: guard for this Wizard's team to reach whatever they're ceiling
Speaker 3: is this year, and I'm excited to see it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Definitely on the court, it's de Bansa has to
Speaker 1: be more of the guy, and Trey's got to be
Speaker 1: a little bit more of the guy who plays off
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit, especially if Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3: Played anything off the ball would be nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And he was definitely allowing Jalen Johnson to be
Speaker 1: that guy in Atlanta as far as one guy goes.
Speaker 1: But there could be more mouse to feed, as he said,
Speaker 1: with Debasa and Anthony Davis. So there's a pressure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: basketball wise, you go and you tear Jalen Brunson's jersey
Speaker 1: and this WWE thing, and so there's more talk of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: his his barometer is low. The temperature of Tree Young
Speaker 1: is low, simple as that. And to go get all
Speaker 1: those dollars. He's been looked at by fellow NBA players
Speaker 1: as guy, a guy that yeah, he you know, he
Speaker 1: peaked in twenty one and since, yeah, the keeps dropping
Speaker 1: with Trey Young. You go see him in the trade
Speaker 1: or the All Star votes for players, he keeps dropping.
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, there's pressure, But how many do you
Speaker 1: expect the Wizards to win? Really?
Speaker 3: Okay, are you telling me Anthony Davis is on the
Speaker 3: team and he's going to play fifty five games?
Speaker 1: I yeah, I would assume. I'm assuming the Wizard's front
Speaker 1: office is going to say, Anthony Davis, you're on our
Speaker 1: team despite these rumors.
Speaker 3: Okay, Anthony Davis plays fifty games, Trey Young plays sixty games.
Speaker 3: Wizards should be trying to win thirty plus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that should be a goal, which would be good. Sure, yea,
Speaker 1: and that would be a heck of an accomplishment. All right,
Speaker 1: Moving on to the second pick, my first round pick,
Speaker 1: I am going with Jason Tatum. Hey, hey, I'll throw
Speaker 1: him in there. Look, no Jalen Brown on that team.
Speaker 1: There is so much pressure on him offensively. As this
Speaker 1: ownership decides we're going in a different direction financially, Jayson
Speaker 1: Tatam's got to be the guy in late game situations
Speaker 1: to create not only for himself but for others and
Speaker 1: then you know, if it doesn't work out that way
Speaker 1: when he's setting up other guys, he's got to score
Speaker 1: a ton. He's got to play a ton after coming
Speaker 1: back late last season with that injury. So that just
Speaker 1: screams pressure without Jalen Brown. Obviously, Payint Pritchard and Derek
Speaker 1: White will help, but without him there or without Jalen Brown,
Speaker 1: there's just a lot on him offensively, simple as that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a pretty simple one for me. You've
Speaker 1: got to be everything times too with what's happening on
Speaker 1: the court. Simple as that, that's a simple one for me.
Speaker 1: But I think here in the era where this Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics team can be the team that jumps out of
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, the era where we have a winter
Speaker 1: new winner every year and in the Eastern Conference here
Speaker 1: now in July, it feels like it's wide open. But
Speaker 1: it's wide open with the pressure on Jason Tatum in Boston.
Speaker 1: That guy's got to be amazing. He really has to
Speaker 1: be that MVP player again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had Tatum on my long list, kind of
Speaker 3: like as a two parter with Jalen Brown, who I
Speaker 3: think is also under pressure, kind of getting his way
Speaker 3: at least to go to the Sixers and let's see
Speaker 3: what you got away from the Celtics. But I think
Speaker 3: it's really interesting for Tatum in that this is going
Speaker 3: to be the first season he's ever played in his
Speaker 3: career without Jalen Brown, and this might be the least
Speaker 3: talented Boston team since Tatum showed up. You think about
Speaker 3: all the guys that have left in the past three seasons, Porzingis,
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart, Drew Holliday, Al Horford, Luke Cornett, like a
Speaker 3: lot of guys who helped them win the title have left.
Speaker 3: Incoming has been rookies and now an old Paul George
Speaker 3: as well. So Tatum had a nice run at the
Speaker 3: end of the season last year when he came back
Speaker 3: from the Achilles tear looked a lot better I think
Speaker 3: than people were anticipating. But he should be back to
Speaker 3: full speed for this season. And I mean you could
Speaker 3: throw in the fact that he didn't play Game seven
Speaker 3: last year, right Like, there are questions about Jason Tatum,
Speaker 3: I think, and you know, considering you won a title
Speaker 3: in twenty four, I don't think maybe he was anticipating
Speaker 3: answering these kind of questions a couple of years later.
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see what he does and not
Speaker 3: having his running mate with him for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Physically, you have to think about the Achilles and
Speaker 1: playing a full season and then a playoffs. As the
Speaker 1: number one and number two guy on that team. You
Speaker 1: are everything on that squad under Joe Missoula and the
Speaker 1: way that private equity is dominating their roster. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's important for him to be great. The
Speaker 1: expectation is interesting to me. It's a pretty big range.
Speaker 1: You can see them being a fifty five win team,
Speaker 1: I think, but that's dependent on Jason Tatum being great
Speaker 1: or you wouldn't be surprised if you see them as
Speaker 1: a five hundred team.
Speaker 3: I would be very surprised that they're five hundred. They
Speaker 3: won fifty six games last year without Jason Tatum. Now
Speaker 3: it's basically with Jason Tatum, without Jalen Brown, but with
Speaker 3: Paul George. So I don't think the team, at least
Speaker 3: for the regular season, is going to be much worse.
Speaker 3: I expect the Celtics to win fifty plus games this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Yeah, when I factor in them in
Speaker 1: the forties, it's definitely whether Tatum is hooping for eighty
Speaker 1: two games, because look, we haven't seen him in a
Speaker 1: couple of seasons be able to be there, that guy,
Speaker 1: But it could have just been.
Speaker 3: One unhealthy season. He tore his achilles, and he's been
Speaker 3: healthy every other season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, and achilles is an achilles.
Speaker 1: Whether or he played the whole season, yeah, at twenty
Speaker 1: four to twenty five was awesome. He should be back
Speaker 1: and he came back early. That's just the range for me,
Speaker 1: dependent on whether Jason Datamus is playing, but the rest
Speaker 1: of the guys should be able to perform and listen
Speaker 1: Jaalen Brown, you know, no matter what uh the analytics say,
Speaker 1: he was there every single game, every single fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: And so that's just a lot on Tatum's shoulders, no
Speaker 1: matter if that Jordan Walsh contracts it didn't want or
Speaker 1: all right, So moving on, let's do round number two
Speaker 1: because there's plenty of players. I got plenty of pressure
Speaker 1: in this league.
Speaker 3: My number two man, number one, it's Jahn Morant. It's
Speaker 3: time for him to say in his career because if
Speaker 3: Trey Young's rep is at an all time low, ja
Speaker 3: Morants is even less than that he's played seventy nine
Speaker 3: games combined in the last three seasons and was just
Speaker 3: salary dumb for a bag of beans. Jeremy Grant and
Speaker 3: Chris Murray the only thing going back to Memphis for
Speaker 3: Jahn Morant. You look at the Blazers team, the fit
Speaker 3: is definitely awkward. The team doesn't make a lot of
Speaker 3: sense as we sit here on July twenty fourth. They
Speaker 3: got all these point guards, they got a bunch of
Speaker 3: big men, and who knows what's happening for the wings
Speaker 3: outside of Denny Avdia. But I do still think the
Speaker 3: talent is there for Ja Morant, even if he's not
Speaker 3: the same kind of player he used to be. Played
Speaker 3: twenty games last season, terrible number, but still in those
Speaker 3: twenty games, he had eight points and assists, double doubles.
Speaker 3: He had a forty point game, he had a thirty
Speaker 3: five point game. What I'm saying is that John Morant,
Speaker 3: I think can still be an effective player. I'm not
Speaker 3: holding out hope that like suddenly, he comes back from
Speaker 3: a twenty game season and is a thirty eight percent
Speaker 3: three point shooter. I don't think that's going to happen,
Speaker 3: but I do hope he's more committed to winning with
Speaker 3: his Blazers team than he was committed to what it
Speaker 3: felt like fighting with his front office and his coaches
Speaker 3: at the end of his Memphis career. So I do
Speaker 3: Thinkamarant has a lot to prove coming into this season.
Speaker 3: And who knows. I mean, maybe the fit questions make
Speaker 3: it tough for Ja Moran to really reach his potential
Speaker 3: until things are completely settled in Portland with the way
Speaker 3: that they want to play. But I'm optimistic about this
Speaker 3: and I think that he will have a chip on
Speaker 3: his shoulder, which you know, hopefully is good for the
Speaker 3: Blazers and hopefully doesn't go over the edge for Jamaran.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the biggest question is the dynamic with Dame Blame
Speaker 1: beside him and then Denny Avdia beside him on the
Speaker 1: other side, because they are just so baal dominant in
Speaker 1: terms of the way they play and the way Avdia
Speaker 1: was last season. So yeah, it's just the whole dynamic
Speaker 1: to me. As far as the attitude, this is basically
Speaker 1: playing for his NBA career in some ways, I think
Speaker 1: it's gotta be positive. He met with Mike and Noriri
Speaker 1: in his hometown of South Carolina and South Carolina there
Speaker 1: and all is apparently good with those two and he's
Speaker 1: ready to be a team guy. And if you look
Speaker 1: at the way he played under thamas Isilo in Memphis,
Speaker 1: he definitely was willing to distribute more and not be
Speaker 1: just a pick and roll type guy. That bothered him
Speaker 1: to some degree, there's no doubt. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: when he was on the floor, it was the offense
Speaker 1: was good, and so again it's a physical thing, but
Speaker 1: it's also, yeah, just an attitude thing. So we'll see
Speaker 1: if he can take that to Portland. It's a a
Speaker 1: big question, man, a big question with sixteen point guards
Speaker 1: on that team, you know, with a holiday there, who
Speaker 1: should be who should be good off the ball? With
Speaker 1: Scoot coming off the bench behind them, Yeah, there's there's
Speaker 1: just a lot of mouths to feed. Will he be
Speaker 1: okay doing that because he seemed to live a little
Speaker 1: testy in Memphis? Definitely true, But I don't know. Mikeanry
Speaker 1: and him met and in July Mikeanrory went and talked
Speaker 1: to him. You know, Portland also has some other issues,
Speaker 1: a little bit of a cloud hanging over them professionally
Speaker 1: that we'll get to a little bit later on. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things going on in that locker room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. I'm also a little curious what to expect
Speaker 3: from Damian Lillard this season, Like him and Jason Tatum
Speaker 3: got hurt basically the exact same time, same injury, and
Speaker 3: we heard immediately, Oh, Tatum's coming back for next season.
Speaker 3: Tatum's coming back for next season. He's looking awesome in
Speaker 3: Celtics practices. He's dominating Dame. Lillard didn't come back last year,
Speaker 3: and I don't feel like we've heard those same reports
Speaker 3: about this guy looking like his old self for the Trailblazer,
Speaker 3: So I'm interested to see what he has as an
Speaker 3: older guy coming off a serious injury and an achilles
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say the positive way of looking that at
Speaker 1: that is the guy is comfortable playing off the ball
Speaker 1: as he did with the Honest a lot of the time,
Speaker 1: and every highlight that you see it's just him shooting.
Speaker 1: It's true, it's not him handling. So if he is
Speaker 1: willing to be that guy more so with Morant and Avdia,
Speaker 1: who basically was given the ball to be able to
Speaker 1: just run over guys and and he did that well, yes,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's just a whole dynamic that Mike
Speaker 1: and Nory's got to be able to implement. Can you
Speaker 1: do it? Can Mike and Norriy do it? That's a
Speaker 1: that's a fair question with the rookie head coach. But yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot going on in that locker room, just a ton,
Speaker 1: which we'll get to a little bit more in Worse
Speaker 1: of the Week. My second round pick, I'm going with
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid. This is his best shot at the title,
Speaker 1: might be his last shot if you look at it
Speaker 1: that way in terms of his health, but because of
Speaker 1: what they're doing at the center spot, there's just so
Speaker 1: much pressure for him to be on the floor a
Speaker 1: good amount, especially in the in the playoffs. His backup
Speaker 1: is Huck Porty, you got a den Bona there and
Speaker 1: you've got Dominic Barlow moving over behind him, So there's
Speaker 1: a pressure positionally, but also just in terms of the
Speaker 1: whole roster. It's awesome up top with Tyrese Maxi, Jalen
Speaker 1: Brown and v J Ashcombe. That looks fantastic, but there's
Speaker 1: a drop off after that. I mean, who's their fifth
Speaker 1: best player, you know? Along with him beating the starting
Speaker 1: line with it's Dean Wade, I suppose, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: he'll be starting out the wing, I imagine, and then
Speaker 1: the guy's coming off the bench Listen, Van Fredy Simons
Speaker 1: has a the ability to go shoot a thousand times,
Speaker 1: but it's Simons, and then it's LeBaron Pylon as a rookie.
Speaker 1: So it starts to get thin pretty quickly. With this
Speaker 1: team that's paying their top guys a lot, it's, you
Speaker 1: know the opposite of what the Boston Celtics are doing.
Speaker 1: So pressure on Joel embiid. I say it's the best
Speaker 1: shot at a title. Maybe you can look back at
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and say, if they were able to overcome
Speaker 1: the Raptors in the second round instead of Kawhi's four
Speaker 1: bouncer and they go play the Milwaukee Bucks in the
Speaker 1: conference final and then a banged up Warriors seam, maybe
Speaker 1: that was his best shot at a title. But right here,
Speaker 1: right now, this is it this season. It looks like,
Speaker 1: especially I'm just assuming that Embid's not going to get
Speaker 1: healthier as the years go on, so this is it.
Speaker 1: It just feels like health wise, embat into the twenty
Speaker 1: seven playoffs is going to be what we look back
Speaker 1: as the first era of this Jalen Brown Tyrese Maxi
Speaker 1: duo along with him, and might be the last one
Speaker 1: because even last year he couldn't play in every game
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but he did get kind of healthy
Speaker 1: to play somewhat.
Speaker 3: He got healthy to dominate the Celtics for three games.
Speaker 1: Yeah that was all he had.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he did dominate the Celtics for three games.
Speaker 3: He still got the skills. And the interesting thing with
Speaker 3: choosing him as a player under pressure is I think
Speaker 3: it's kind of a it's a little sideways because to me,
Speaker 3: the Sixers did a good job of kind of embeid
Speaker 3: proofing their lineup. Now when you mentioned huck Porty and
Speaker 3: Barlow and Bona are the backups, it doesn't quite sound
Speaker 3: like that. But I think the team can still be
Speaker 3: a winning team during the regular season, a competitive team
Speaker 3: during the regular season because Jaalen Brown plays a ton
Speaker 3: of games. Tyrese Maxie plays a ton of games. Edge
Speaker 3: comp seems like the kind of guy who's going to
Speaker 3: play a ton, Like we're talking sixty six games plus
Speaker 3: for Brown. The thing changes, though, once they get to
Speaker 3: the playoffs, because that's when Embiid becomes the ceiling razer
Speaker 3: for this team. If he's healthy, if he is in
Speaker 3: a rhythm, he's still a really tough player to stop.
Speaker 3: So maybe bringing in Jalen Brown to save Embiid from
Speaker 3: having to play a ton during the regular season means
Speaker 3: he's fresher come playoff time, because they absolutely need him
Speaker 3: if they're going to get close to a title. The
Speaker 3: best time to be a Sixers fan is when they're
Speaker 3: not playing, though, you know, you're like, oh, yeah, Joe Obe,
Speaker 3: this might be the year, and it might be the year.
Speaker 3: Who knows. At least they've got guys that can take
Speaker 3: the regular season minutes load that he would be having
Speaker 3: to deal with if they're trying to make it into
Speaker 3: the playoffs and hopefully be as healthy as possible come
Speaker 3: playoff time. I like what the Sixers did and I'm
Speaker 3: excited to see him play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they tried to prime him, prime those knees for
Speaker 1: last year's playoffs by only playing thirty eight games last season.
Speaker 1: They're going to do the same thing. They do it
Speaker 1: every year. It was nineteen the season before that, and
Speaker 1: thirty nine the season before that, So the last three seasons, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the range, he's gonna play less than half the games.
Speaker 1: Whatever their training staff determines is the perfect prime knee
Speaker 1: Embiid situation. So yeah, this is just an odd scenario
Speaker 1: and that their front office said we're going for with
Speaker 1: Jyalen Brown. I mean that's not odd in and of itself,
Speaker 1: but with Embiid, who is thirty two and has years
Speaker 1: left on his contract, we may not see a healthy
Speaker 1: Embiid for an entire postseason ever. Again, as simple as that,
Speaker 1: because yeah, as you said, yeah he was. He was
Speaker 1: primed and ready to go for those four or five
Speaker 1: six games against the Boston Celtics for six seven, I guess,
Speaker 1: and then yeah, against the Knicks didn't look as awesome. Now,
Speaker 1: so that was that was a quick turn.
Speaker 3: It's a quick turn.
Speaker 1: You look so good, insert him, he's awesome. But really,
Speaker 1: that's two months. If you're asking them to win the
Speaker 1: title with that guy's your starting center, it's something Number one,
Speaker 1: he's never gone, he's never gone further than that second round.
Speaker 1: And now it's a lot of pressure on a guy
Speaker 1: for two months of playoff basketball. So yeah, he's ready
Speaker 1: for the playoffs because of what they did. But you
Speaker 1: get into Hawk Porty and a Bona who are gonna
Speaker 1: have to play a lot of games now without Andre Drummond,
Speaker 1: who definitely is one of those guys who seems to
Speaker 1: be a guy who can play more in his thirties.
Speaker 1: Like that guy is playing a ton that the Knicks
Speaker 1: were able to steal. So that's a fun one. It
Speaker 1: is a fun one to see what they bring in
Speaker 1: in October, but also in April.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. It's like I feel like, very little pressure
Speaker 3: for embiid until April and then a ton of pressure
Speaker 3: on Embid. We need to see you play.
Speaker 1: All right, Round number three three of our draft.
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Laker here. In round number three,
Speaker 3: Walker Kessler. Walker Kessler, Lucas said, get me an a
Speaker 3: list center, and the Lakers treated Walker Kessler like he
Speaker 3: was an a list center, gave him a four year,
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty million dollar contract, traded four first
Speaker 3: rounders to the Utah Jazz for him. Now, all Walker
Speaker 3: Kesler has to do is be an a list center
Speaker 3: and guess what he has one season as a full
Speaker 3: time starter, he started all fifty eight games he played
Speaker 3: in the twenty four to twenty five season. But he's
Speaker 3: coming off a five game season last year after dealing
Speaker 3: with surgery from a torn labrim, I think offense is
Speaker 3: going to be very easy for Walker Kessler. Set a screen,
Speaker 3: run to the rim, shoot seventy percent. He shot seventy
Speaker 3: percent in five games with the Jazz last year. Now
Speaker 3: he's Luca Donte's pick and roll partner, he will shoot
Speaker 3: seventy percent easily this coming season. It's the other side
Speaker 3: that they need a ton from Walker Kessler because he
Speaker 3: is going to have a lot of responsibility for the
Speaker 3: Lake defense. Last year, they were nineteenth in defensive rating
Speaker 3: on the season, and I think they're probably worse on
Speaker 3: the perimeter defensively, having lost Marcus Smart, their best perimeter
Speaker 3: defender right now, Vanderbilt on the bench, Fible on the bench.
Speaker 3: Quentin Grimes, I think is like an average defender, and
Speaker 3: he's probably their best perimeter guy who's going to be starting,
Speaker 3: and he's undersized. He might not even start. It might
Speaker 3: be Lau Rabia. We shall see. But you look at
Speaker 3: what Eighton did last year twelve points, eight rebounds, one
Speaker 3: block per game. Kessler can do that, but they need
Speaker 3: a lot more from Walker Kessler than twelve eight and
Speaker 3: one I would like to see him be like a
Speaker 3: sixteen twelve two guy at the very least. And I
Speaker 3: don't know, Jazz fans were confident in this guy. Lakers
Speaker 3: fans were stoked to be able to get a Walker Kessler.
Speaker 3: He's definitely talented, he definitely fits the prototype of what
Speaker 3: you would want as a Luca Doncrich center. But to
Speaker 3: call this guy an a lister when he hasn't even
Speaker 3: been an a lister on his own team, I think
Speaker 3: is kind of ridiculous. So a little pressure for me
Speaker 3: on Walker Castle to show that he is worth being
Speaker 3: traded for four first round picks and being given this
Speaker 3: gigantic contract.
Speaker 1: Walker Kessler over Luka Doncic Who, Well, I'm.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Luca's going to average thirty five a game. Everybody
Speaker 3: knows it he will.
Speaker 1: He has pressure in that Lebron's ain't ain't there anymore.
Speaker 1: He just has to play a lot. Now. He has
Speaker 1: played a lot throughout his career, he really has been.
Speaker 1: But it's it's hey, no, Lebron, you got to carry it, buddy,
Speaker 1: especially because this is a top heavy team in that
Speaker 1: they're paying a lot of guys. But Luca just has
Speaker 1: to be that guy. Again, for I would say even
Speaker 1: more than what he usually plays like he averages sixty
Speaker 1: four games played throughout his career. But now, as with
Speaker 1: the number two guy in Austin Reeves and Walker Kessler,
Speaker 1: he just has to play a ton and the offense
Speaker 1: is going to go through him. Walkest definitely has pressure
Speaker 1: because he's They're a lone, really good big man the
Speaker 1: trade of DeAndre and it's a surprising one financial I suppose.
Speaker 1: Also maybe because DeAndre knew he wasn't going to be
Speaker 1: the starter anymore. Maybe that hole with that factored into it.
Speaker 1: But because as you went through the roster that they
Speaker 1: don't got much up. So Walker Kesler has a ton
Speaker 1: of pressure defensively at least yeah and size wise, I
Speaker 1: mean simple as that. Who is going to start beside
Speaker 1: Walker Kessler in their front court. It could be Mamu man.
Speaker 1: He can shoot it. At least he can shoot it,
Speaker 1: you know, but he is an undersized guy. Anyways, just
Speaker 1: pressure on him. I was surprised to hear you say
Speaker 1: he shot seventy percent in those four games because or
Speaker 1: five games, because I know, I know that's what he
Speaker 1: does throughout his career. But he was also letting it
Speaker 1: rip from three this past season as much as he
Speaker 1: possibly could. He was he was hitting him.
Speaker 3: He went six for eight that from three last year. Yeah,
Speaker 3: six for three. Yeah, it's not a lot. But I
Speaker 3: think they call that a small sample size. Maybe I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is a small sample size. But he was
Speaker 1: shooting above the break threes too, those of those eight threes,
Speaker 1: it is. It is small. And that's a fair criticism
Speaker 1: about Walker Kessler as you as you brought up the
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz fans said, okay, you can you might get
Speaker 1: a good twenty thirty forty games, but can he do
Speaker 1: it for entire season and be really really awesome? So
Speaker 1: we shall see. Yeah, all right, my third round pick,
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the top guys here. I think Nikola
Speaker 1: Jokic has some pressure. A very interesting season that he
Speaker 1: came off of where we all were looking at the
Speaker 1: MVP ballot throughout the entire season, we see Shay and
Speaker 1: him one two, one two, and we would we or
Speaker 1: the entire media would say, hey, Nikolajokich, probably the best
Speaker 1: player in league, probably the best player in league. Then
Speaker 1: he got embarrassed in the first round. Embarrassed and in
Speaker 1: relation to that term of being the best player in
Speaker 1: the league. That was by far his worst playoff series
Speaker 1: of his entire career. He did not look like himself.
Speaker 1: The numbers are very very bad overall. Althose free throws
Speaker 1: were nice, really really nice free throws in that series.
Speaker 1: But he couldn't shoot the three. He could't shoot three,
Speaker 1: he can shoot the two, he could't shoot from anywhere.
Speaker 1: Was it Rudy Gobert. Was it knowing that his team
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough to get to an NBA finals anymore?
Speaker 1: Was it him coming off his first injury of his career.
Speaker 1: That was a long period of time, but it looked
Speaker 1: like he was back because they won their last twelve
Speaker 1: games of the regular season, and then he just did
Speaker 1: not farewell against the Minnesota Timberwolves in that first round series.
Speaker 1: Didn't look like himself. So Jokic I think has some
Speaker 1: pressure here to bring it back because the running back
Speaker 1: at this time basically the same team. So you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of I say, maybe he didn't feel like
Speaker 1: we were gonna win, and maybe that's why he just
Speaker 1: wasn't himself or he wasn't the best version of himself.
Speaker 1: But they're bringing back Jamal Murray they're bringing back another year,
Speaker 1: another older year of Aaron Gordon, which is definitely worrisome
Speaker 1: for them. Looks like it's Cam Johnson, looks like it's
Speaker 1: Christian Brown and will Peyton Watson come back. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but it's the same team. Yeah, it looks like so, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's pressure on this guy who again for six months
Speaker 1: people say, well, that's the guy, that's the guy. Then
Speaker 1: he got injured and then he wasn't part of the
Speaker 1: MVP conversation anymore. But you could still look at him
Speaker 1: and think that he's the best player in the world.
Speaker 1: But that was a disappointing first round matchup, even if
Speaker 1: you know from my perspective, I wasn't giving Rudy Gobert
Speaker 1: the all the credit that people wanted to give Rudy
Speaker 1: Gobert the credit. And I said, it was on Jokic
Speaker 1: more so than not being himself. And I said, no,
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't feel right or whatever. Doesn't he didn't
Speaker 1: perform simple as.
Speaker 3: That time for a bounce back season, which is weird
Speaker 3: because outside of missing time, I feel like Jokic did
Speaker 3: have a really good regular season. Like you're saying, a
Speaker 3: hot streak at the end for the Nuggets. He ended
Speaker 3: up leading the league in assists, ended up leading the
Speaker 3: league in rebounding, shot a high percentage like he always does,
Speaker 3: and then worst playoff series that he's had at the
Speaker 3: very least since becoming the Jokic that we know. And
Speaker 3: I think something similar happened with Jamal Murray last year,
Speaker 3: Like he made his first All Star team, he played
Speaker 3: his best regular season and then wasn't great in the
Speaker 3: playoffs as well. So the problem for the Nuggets, I
Speaker 3: think is that they're slowly losing their depth, which is
Speaker 3: why they're gonna have to bring back Peyton Watson. But
Speaker 3: we don't know what's going I think Valanchunis is gonna
Speaker 3: be done. They brought back or they brought in Marvin
Speaker 3: Bagley instead. They drafted Sharp. Last year, he didn't play.
Speaker 3: Maybe he'll get a chance this year. They're gonna need
Speaker 3: a lot from Jokic, and maybe he wore down as
Speaker 3: the season went on, But I don't know. I just
Speaker 3: assume he's going to produce. He'll probably average close to
Speaker 3: a triple double once again. He will be in MVP
Speaker 3: conversations once again. As long as he gets to that
Speaker 3: sixty five games he did finish second in MVP voting
Speaker 3: last year, right, Like, maybe he wasn't a realistic chance
Speaker 3: to win, but he still did finish second. He still
Speaker 3: had an awesome year. And you know, accolades wise, I
Speaker 3: think it's better for Jokic the worst the Nuggets get
Speaker 3: because he has to do so much more. It's like
Speaker 3: the year Jamal Murray missed. He won MVP pretty easily
Speaker 3: on a sixth seed because they're like, what everything he's
Speaker 3: got to do? Yeah, so this will be a This
Speaker 3: is an interesting guy to me for an MVP, that
Speaker 3: is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could be that one guy that when the
Speaker 1: pressure is on is when he performs best. He has
Speaker 1: performed the most. It was surprising me to see what
Speaker 1: he did in that playoff series. Look at these numbers
Speaker 1: that a guy called the best player in the world
Speaker 1: had against the minnesot Drimbles, by far the worst of
Speaker 1: his career in the playoffs. For a playoff series. He
Speaker 1: shot forty four point six percent from the field, this
Speaker 1: is a big man, and nineteen point four percent from
Speaker 1: three that just didn't it didn't seem right, didn't fit right.
Speaker 1: So I you know, when I see that, I just thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: Rudy is good, sure, but it's more whatever's going on
Speaker 1: with Jokichen. Maybe he couldn't bounce back after that injury
Speaker 1: for a series, but he looked so good in that
Speaker 1: twelve game exactly throughout the season. So weird stuff. Anybody
Speaker 1: else you want to talk about.
Speaker 3: I'll throw you by quick, my quick. Pressure boys, LaMelo Ball,
Speaker 3: I think is under pressure, has to play like serious
Speaker 3: basketball for maybe the first time in his career after
Speaker 3: having the best season of his career and then getting
Speaker 3: shipped out. There's some pressure on him. I think chat
Speaker 3: Holmgren and Deer and Fox are kind of the we
Speaker 3: need to make up for our playoff failures pressure guys
Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah, Cad Cunningham, Janna Santa Tokumpo to me,
Speaker 3: our guy who have a lot of pressure to perform
Speaker 3: for their team and most importantly to be on the
Speaker 3: court for their team. Like when I look at what
Speaker 3: the Pistons did, they seem to have lost ball handling
Speaker 3: with Tobias Harris going out, more responsibility for Caid And
Speaker 3: then when you look at Yana's in the Heat, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I do think the Heat will be better than the
Speaker 3: Bucks were last year, but they're in a similar spot
Speaker 3: where if Ys misses thirty games, it wouldn't be surprising
Speaker 3: if the Heat end up in the play in tournament,
Speaker 3: right like they got Bam, they got Wiggins. Davion Mitchell
Speaker 3: is a good starter, but like, this is not a
Speaker 3: super deep team. I don't think so. Some pressure on
Speaker 3: Yannis to play a lot, which has been a problem
Speaker 3: for him the past couple of seasons. I got a
Speaker 3: joint pressure boys Polo and Franz. Feels like one last
Speaker 3: chance for these guys. I think Alprin Shengon has kind
Speaker 3: of slid into the Polo bound Caro spot for me,
Speaker 3: where I'm like, I like your game, I don't know
Speaker 3: if it's gonna allow your team to win at the
Speaker 3: ultimate level. And then the final guys. I got Avitza
Speaker 3: Zubat's biggest change for the pay not really sure what
Speaker 3: to expect from them as a team, and he needs
Speaker 3: to play pretty well since he costs so much for them.
Speaker 3: And then Aaron Gordon for me, is a guy who's
Speaker 3: very important to stay healthy for the Nuggets because we've
Speaker 3: seen when he goes down with an injury, they look
Speaker 3: like they're a thousand years old instantly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fun list that the chet Holmgun one's
Speaker 1: super fun. Going into this regular season, we'll see what
Speaker 1: he's been able to morph his game into. The Yannie
Speaker 1: one is really really interesting because I think he knows
Speaker 1: that he has to play a ton and there may
Speaker 1: be a reason why in these training videos with Tristan
Speaker 1: Jass on YouTube, he's shooting threes over and over and
Speaker 1: this isn't just one practice. T Jass went in for
Speaker 1: three practices with him, and Jannis is shooting a lot
Speaker 1: of threes, and I think there's a reason behind that
Speaker 1: that he needs to Number one, I think they need
Speaker 1: to spread the floor a little bit more in Miami.
Speaker 1: But two, that's the recipe to keep him as healthy
Speaker 1: as possible. So I think there's there's some reason why
Speaker 1: he's working out with Drew Hanlin on his three point shot.
Speaker 1: So there's that. Yeah, I throw Kevin Durant in there
Speaker 1: with Fred van Vliet back no excuses now for the
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets, and so we'll see if that is able
Speaker 1: to trickle down to Upprin Cheng Gun as you brought up,
Speaker 1: because they got to be they gotta be good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that you broke down, got to everybody on my list.
Speaker 1: That's it's a fun list.
Speaker 3: That was a disappointing loss in the playoffs for the
Speaker 3: Rockets with no Luca, no Reeves for the majority of
Speaker 3: that series, and they got kind of ran off the
Speaker 3: court by a Lakers team that I think we all
Speaker 3: three of us picked the Lakers to win that sees
Speaker 3: and look, Durant missed time in that one kind of
Speaker 3: unexpectedly as well. That might have changed our picks. But
Speaker 3: still it felt like the Lakers, or it felt like
Speaker 3: the Rockets were the better team and into that series
Speaker 3: and they looked pretty bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as you said about the Philadelphia seventy six
Speaker 1: ers taking some of the the workload off Joel Embiid,
Speaker 1: maybe Fred van Vliet does that for Kevin Durant to
Speaker 1: some degree. You know, Kevin Durant can get ready for
Speaker 1: the playoffs because he wasn't one hundred percent of the playoffs.
Speaker 1: He missed time in that Lakers series. So yeah, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a again, no excuses for Kevin Durant. This
Speaker 1: is it. This is a solid team. It will be
Speaker 1: a fun, fun season for the Houston Rockets, especially with
Speaker 1: Fred taking some of that pressure off him. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to worst of the week, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: The worst of.
Speaker 2: The week.
Speaker 1: Blazer's play by play man Kevin Collaboro ain't coming back,
Speaker 1: so sad for Portland Trail Blazers fans. As Kevin Collaboro
Speaker 1: put it, it was a sub prime offer that he
Speaker 1: was given. So that's a good dig at Tom Dundan,
Speaker 1: who made his money off subprime auto loans. So you know,
Speaker 1: Collabro had that plan to this guy. Unfortunately, for Blazers fans,
Speaker 1: that's their voice that they turned to when they want
Speaker 1: to watch a Blazers game. This is a man of
Speaker 1: value and it's so disappointing for them, that voice that
Speaker 1: matters to Blazers fans. And apparently Collaboro's agent tried to
Speaker 1: renegotiate earlier before his contract ended, you know, in the
Speaker 1: last couple of months, but there was nothing there and
Speaker 1: there was no benefits attached, as Collaboro has said, as
Speaker 1: he came out and talked about it after the contract
Speaker 1: didn't happen. But we brought it up this week tray
Speaker 1: about the whole Dundon feeling, the whole thing around Tom Dundet,
Speaker 1: and then this comes out where it's directly affecting Blazers fans,
Speaker 1: and this is a clear, you know, low blow to
Speaker 1: Blazers fans.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the broadcast team is like one of the most
Speaker 3: direct connections from a team to a fan. Kevin Collabro
Speaker 3: and Lamar heard were one of the best duos in
Speaker 3: the entire Basketball Basketball League the NBA, if you well.
Speaker 3: Apparently Lamar Hurd does have one year left on his deal,
Speaker 3: so he will be back for the Blazers. That's good.
Speaker 3: I guess a silver lining for Kevin Collabro is that
Speaker 3: Seattle is on their way back to the NBA, which
Speaker 3: makes me think that would be a perfect landing spot
Speaker 3: for Kevin Collabro. He was the Sonics broadcaster for twenty
Speaker 3: two years before doing some ESPN stuff and then almost
Speaker 3: a decade with the Blazers, with a couple of years
Speaker 3: taken out for during the COVID times. But this just
Speaker 3: really sucks. Not just losing Kevin collabor like that would
Speaker 3: suck enough on its own. If they low balled him
Speaker 3: and he didn't want to take an offer, which is
Speaker 3: what he said. He says there was not much seriousness
Speaker 3: on the other end to get a deal done. But
Speaker 3: this should be an exciting time for Portland Trail Blazers fans.
Speaker 3: They made the playoffs for the first time since twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one. They're adding Jamaran Damian Lillard is coming back like,
Speaker 3: at worst, the second best player in your franchise's history.
Speaker 3: It's the fifty year anniversary of the only title they've
Speaker 3: ever won, and instead it has been piece of news
Speaker 3: after piece of news, of piece of news after piece
Speaker 3: of news. Yeah, of things that make it worse to
Speaker 3: be a Blazers fan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that sucks. Yeah, especially with the way Tom
Speaker 1: Dunn came on in March and then in April we
Speaker 1: had all these stories about the way they went into
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Okay, two way. Players aren't traveling with the team.
Speaker 1: Blazers fans don't get T shirts in the arena. The
Speaker 1: massage therapist for the Blazers has to check out of
Speaker 1: their hotel rooms, so they can't perform their massages and
Speaker 1: their therapy in their room, so they have to got
Speaker 1: to go find another room. So there's those whole all
Speaker 1: those events which you can to me, all I think
Speaker 1: of is Elon Musk taken over doge in the US
Speaker 1: government and the old the image of him with the
Speaker 1: chainsaw coming in and just slashing things that he didn't like.
Speaker 1: And then you get this scenario here with Kevin Glabra,
Speaker 1: as you said, somebody that is connected to the fans.
Speaker 1: So you'd think an owner would say, Okay, I made
Speaker 1: some flubs there early on in my ownership in the
Speaker 1: first couple of months that this one here has there's
Speaker 1: there's goes beyond business. It goes beyond money, it goes
Speaker 1: beyond what obviously Tom Dundon wants to do. This is
Speaker 1: this is something emotional, something ties that's tied to fans.
Speaker 1: So you'd think maybe maybe like when he stopped paying
Speaker 1: two Way players to go on their travel to go
Speaker 1: to San Antonio, he did reverse that and sent them
Speaker 1: to Game five. They didn't go to game one in
Speaker 1: game two, but they were sent to Game five. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe he's learned something, but that's obviously not the case.
Speaker 1: Collaboro out. It goes on beyond that. Travis Demurz, the
Speaker 1: team's radio play by play announcer, was not retained. His
Speaker 1: radio partner Michael Holton, was like go after nineteen seasons
Speaker 1: with the team to studio hosts Neil Everett host Jamie Hudson,
Speaker 1: they're gone. That is a lot of acting. And are
Speaker 1: Tom Habstrow.
Speaker 3: So assistant GM just left as well?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I didn't realize that. Yeah, that's a lot
Speaker 1: of acting.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna start calling Tom Dundon stone cold because
Speaker 3: all he cares about is the bottom line.
Speaker 1: It is the bottom line, that's.
Speaker 3: All he cares about. He does not care about the Blazers.
Speaker 3: He cares that they're a valuable franchise. He does not
Speaker 3: care about the city of Portland, which is pretty clear.
Speaker 3: The only thing I think is interesting is Blazers fans
Speaker 3: are now trying to organize boycotts of Panda Express because
Speaker 3: apparently the founders and owners of Panda Express are ownership
Speaker 3: partners with Tom Dundon, So they're making it, making it
Speaker 3: feel it where it hurts, right, the fast food Chinese
Speaker 3: money pockets. I suppose that's how we're going, Like, fine,
Speaker 3: we're taking out on the pandas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's no, there's nothing beyond the bottom line.
Speaker 1: I mean, in May he fired seventy employees, according to
Speaker 1: multiple reports. So I'm not going to pretend to know
Speaker 1: everything that goes on in the books. Those seventy employees.
Speaker 1: Maybe some should be fired maybe I mean fired, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say fired, but they should be looked at in
Speaker 1: the spreadsheet and they determine, okay, maybe we should move
Speaker 1: money here, move money there. But in the end, it
Speaker 1: all comes down to money. And you know that's unfortunate.
Speaker 1: Obviously as we see NBA owners move in a different
Speaker 1: direction rather than a lot of the mom and pop
Speaker 1: type of ownerships, we're seeing a lot more involved with
Speaker 1: definitely the dollar bills and only the dollar bills because
Speaker 1: it's it's getting extensive. And I say the employees part
Speaker 1: is different. You know, if they're in the PR department
Speaker 1: or or wherever they're involved in, it's different than when
Speaker 1: you actually see it with the actual hosts that are
Speaker 1: the first ones that fans see when the broadcast starts.
Speaker 1: Like that is real stuff. And so that's why it's
Speaker 1: it's puzzling here. Even as we talked about it on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's taken in another level since
Speaker 1: then when we talked about whether or not they're going
Speaker 1: to agree with the city on how they are able
Speaker 1: to build or renovate, I should say the Motive Center,
Speaker 1: this is, this is beyond that. This is this is aggravating. Definitely,
Speaker 1: that's surprising. Surprised. I guess it's not surprising, but it
Speaker 1: is surprising at the same time. Yep, moving on sucks
Speaker 1: for the Blazers second nominee here, Lebron James was reportedly
Speaker 1: irritated by Adam Silver. Silver did shoot at the king
Speaker 1: when he told CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin quote, I would
Speaker 1: like Lebron to make his announcement already so we can
Speaker 1: finish the schedule. And that's when a radio host Andy
Speaker 1: Baskin said, quote, Here's what I was told yesterday by
Speaker 1: a reliable source. Last week. Lebron's crew was probably ready
Speaker 1: to make an announcement. Irritated was the word I was
Speaker 1: told by the commissioner pushing them, so they decided to
Speaker 1: hold back end quote. What do you make of this
Speaker 1: report from a the ninety two point three the Fans
Speaker 1: host Andy Baskin in Cleveland.
Speaker 3: I just baskin in it. I don't know. It seems
Speaker 3: a little far fetched to me, but Lebron will be like,
Speaker 3: I got my decision, I'm ready to go, and then
Speaker 3: Adam Silver comes out and says something pretty Ana Dyne
Speaker 3: all things considered, He's like, yeah, we're waiting for Lebron
Speaker 3: to make our schedule because he's going to play. If
Speaker 3: he doesn't play Opening night, he'll play on the Wednesday night,
Speaker 3: and he's definitely gonna play on Christmas. Like Christmas, it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. I went through every team that I thought
Speaker 3: could play on Christmas. The Cavs are definitely the most questionable.
Speaker 3: They made the conference finals last year, like they could
Speaker 3: easily just get a Christmas game. They're gonna be one
Speaker 3: of the better teams in the Eastern Conference, and all
Speaker 3: the other teams are already included on probably getting Christmas games.
Speaker 3: But this is the longest Lebron has taken for a decision.
Speaker 3: I went on ESPN dot com today. They you know,
Speaker 3: they got like their little sidebar of headlines on the
Speaker 3: side nothing new since Wednesday. We don't have a new
Speaker 3: piece of NBA news since Wednesday. That's unbelievable, and it's
Speaker 3: all because of Lebron. It's getting dark out here, tass.
Speaker 3: I had to watch Sean Sharanya talk to Pat McAfee
Speaker 3: and I actually laughed at something Pat McAfee said because
Speaker 3: Sham's is explaining to him how Mario Hiszonia is waiting
Speaker 3: to make his decision based on which team signs Lebron
Speaker 3: James and Pat McAfee goes he's.
Speaker 1: Holding up Hazonia.
Speaker 3: So now I'll be thinking of that every time I
Speaker 3: see Mario Hazzonia, who apparently is coming back, but not
Speaker 3: until Lebron James signed something. So we got a lot
Speaker 3: of things to do. Lebron needs to pick a team,
Speaker 3: we need to set the schedule, and we need to
Speaker 3: see where Mario Hiszonia is playing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you brought him up on Wednesday because he's rumored
Speaker 1: to be coming back as a thirty one year old
Speaker 1: to the NBA. And he was part of the headlines
Speaker 1: as you said, And I thought, is it because he
Speaker 1: blocked Lebron James and the paint one time? Because that's
Speaker 1: a headline, or that's a video that's going around because
Speaker 1: it is dead time. I mean, that's what I'm seeing
Speaker 1: Mario Hiszonia guard Lebron going into the lane in Madison
Speaker 1: Square Garden Haonia was with the Knicks and stopping Lebron
Speaker 1: on a late game winning attempt. It's Hisonia time. Yeah, maybe, Yeah.
Speaker 1: He seems like a good NBA player, good enough anyway,
Speaker 1: I think he's.
Speaker 3: Been very good overseas, is what it appears.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's great in Spain. So bat mcviee making
Speaker 1: jokes that are worth a laugh.
Speaker 3: That's the hold up a Zonia. Yeah, you could tell
Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, this Lebron, he has taken so long.
Speaker 3: I got to hear Sham's talk to me about a
Speaker 3: guy named Mario his.
Speaker 1: Own Yeah, happeel the same way at the team brouh.
Speaker 1: You said all the guys, all the teams essentially that
Speaker 1: Lebron would pick, would play on Christmas Day.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure, I'll run it down for you. Here's who
Speaker 3: I think are, Locks, Spurs, thunder Lakers, Nicks, Celtics, Sixers, Warriors.
Speaker 3: That's seven teams of the ten we need. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: that includes, uh, the Sixers and the Warriors. Who are
Speaker 3: it feels like on the outskirts of the conversation. Okay
Speaker 3: for Lebron right now. And then in my next group
Speaker 3: of seven teams, which you would need three of these
Speaker 3: to complete the schedule, I got Nuggets, timber Wolves, Pistons, Cabs, Heat, Pacers,
Speaker 3: and Rockets.
Speaker 1: Yeah the Heat one is ah, they did get you.
Speaker 3: I meant so that's a big deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, would they be a Christmas Day team without
Speaker 1: Lebron It seems untle likely.
Speaker 3: I think that one's pretty unlikely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anything else you want to talk about? Mario Haizonio
Speaker 1: with or.
Speaker 3: I haven't done the deep dive of checking into his
Speaker 3: overseas highlights. I can't take it that. Yeah, he did
Speaker 3: read his Wikipedia page to get refreshed on what happened
Speaker 3: with this guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the last part of his career.
Speaker 3: I mean, it just wasn't He ended up playing a
Speaker 3: few teams. Yeah, he just wasn't awesome too early.
Speaker 1: That number five draft pick with the Orlando Yeah, the
Speaker 1: rep wasn't. I don't know, he didn't. He didn't match
Speaker 1: that draft pick. I suppose you know, he didn't live
Speaker 1: up to number five. Noah. Yeah, we had other suggestions
Speaker 1: for worse. The week we had Anthony Davis saying that
Speaker 1: he was going to play eighty two games from a
Speaker 1: man from a Man bippo. But as we talked about
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, this is just Anthony Davis saying I want
Speaker 1: an extension in two weeks on August sixth, when I'm eligible,
Speaker 1: and I'm just talking it up. Although it's disappointing. I
Speaker 1: get it. We talked about a Wednesday. There's no way
Speaker 1: he plays eighty two games. There's no chance, no chance. Zero.
Speaker 1: I checked if there's a FanDuel line on how many
Speaker 1: games Anthony Davis is gonna play. They're not even doing
Speaker 1: that right now. Off the board. Off the board. Another
Speaker 1: suggestion for worse of the week was Kawhi's drama being
Speaker 1: dragged out well. According to Mike workanoff of The Athletic,
Speaker 1: he said, the league's investigation of Kawhi, Leonard and Aspiration
Speaker 1: has ended and the league is sorting through it. He
Speaker 1: believes the trade with the Raptors will still happen, So
Speaker 1: just just mentioning that. As Mike said on Thursday on
Speaker 1: The Rich Eisen.
Speaker 3: Show, So I await the conclusion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all the findings.
Speaker 3: Count wait to read the brief.
Speaker 1: Speaking of conclusions, let's get to rapid fire fun, the
Speaker 1: beautiful sequy. You set it up, man, just like you're
Speaker 1: setting up these questions. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And Stephen Curry will become the first active player to
Speaker 3: have an exhibit at the Nasmith Basketball Hall of Fame
Speaker 3: after they opened there Beyond the Arc exhibit this week.
Speaker 3: And I'll have memorabilia and stuff from Steph's illustrious career. Guys,
Speaker 3: who is someone that should be honored for what they're
Speaker 3: currently still doing. This is a cheap way.
Speaker 1: Of going about it. But I'm gonna say Christopher Nolan
Speaker 1: deserves some credit for Odyssey. What a film?
Speaker 2: A lot of credit?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well listen on my algorithm, JD. He's
Speaker 1: getting ripped. Everybody wants a Greek as an actor, namely
Speaker 1: the Greek who could have performed being the positive Pete myself.
Speaker 1: You think I would have a lot of names, but
Speaker 1: I'm sorry John Stamos sant performing.
Speaker 3: You don't want to see him as Odysseus.
Speaker 1: No, I don't want to see Jennifer Aniston and Anne
Speaker 1: Hathaway's role. Something apparently Danielle told me is that Chris
Speaker 1: Nolan will never cast somebody who's got botox in their
Speaker 1: face because he wants them to be able to emote.
Speaker 1: Jennifer as she's got botox from what I can see, uh,
Speaker 1: and so she can't play the role. And Hathaway I
Speaker 1: think played it well because she was shooting. She was emotive.
Speaker 2: You're seeing, you're seeing all those she's looking her age
Speaker 2: on that Imax, I have to say, right, and that's
Speaker 2: not a bad thing.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: I'm with Nolan on this, But would it have killed
Speaker 2: him to put a gallifan Akis in there? Anything?
Speaker 1: One Greek?
Speaker 3: Put all the famous Greek actors on the boat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not many. There's not many.
Speaker 2: Jason man Zukas man Zucas, Yeah, yeah, Michael Chick, Michael.
Speaker 3: Chick, every Greek, every Greek that's famous in Hollywood sitting
Speaker 3: on the boat.
Speaker 1: So my algorithm is just all torn up. What am
Speaker 1: I going to do? I don't see down there. It
Speaker 1: was a great movie, and as you said on thumb
Speaker 1: Moore JD.
Speaker 3: It was awesome, was awesome.
Speaker 2: It was a great movie, a massive movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's my cheap way of doing it.
Speaker 3: I'm a movie man as well. Tom Cruise needs an oscar.
Speaker 3: It's been nominated for Best Actor twice. Born on the
Speaker 3: fourth of July, and Jerry maguire, who was nominated for
Speaker 3: Best Supporting Actor for Magnolia. He got nominated as a
Speaker 3: producer for Best Picture for Top Gun Maverick, and he
Speaker 3: did get the twenty twenty five Academy Honor Award, which
Speaker 3: is kind of literally like saying, hey man, thanks for
Speaker 3: all you've done. You haven't won a real one. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but we love all the movies you make. And I
Speaker 3: saw the first trailer for Digger. We were talking about JD.
Speaker 3: It was literally just a sizzle rule of every great
Speaker 3: Tom Cruise role. Yeah, And I was like, yeah, this
Speaker 3: guy has made a lot of great movies. Yes, So
Speaker 3: hopefully he can get a real oscar here instead of
Speaker 3: the just bone throw one they gave him. I'm sure
Speaker 3: that's what Digger is supposed to be. An oscar play
Speaker 3: for him. I don't know if it will succeed in
Speaker 3: winning him one, but I'd like to see him. It'd
Speaker 3: be crazy to see Tom Cruise give a speech.
Speaker 1: Cut to these people.
Speaker 2: Does he thank scientology or who's the guy? Is he
Speaker 2: the top? Yeah? What's the FanDuel odds that l Ron
Speaker 2: gets a shout out in Tom Cruise's acceptance.
Speaker 1: That's a first.
Speaker 2: Mine is Matthew Kaminski, who you may ask uh. This
Speaker 2: is the the organist at Truest Park I've met. I
Speaker 2: mentioned this guy before on No Bunts. He is awesome
Speaker 2: with the opposing players walk out music, and we did
Speaker 2: a full quiz on this on No Buns back in
Speaker 2: the day. Uh, just name that tune basically, but like
Speaker 2: Casper Wells will come out and on the organ he's
Speaker 2: playing Ghostbusters. His name is Casper right, Blaze, Alexander, We
Speaker 2: didn't start the fire like that kind of thing. Like
Speaker 2: he just picks random, not random, but deep cuts sometimes
Speaker 2: and each time a guy comes up, it's a different song.
Speaker 2: So he's he's just he just digs deep into his
Speaker 2: catalog and those songs sound hilarious on on the organ,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: And it makes it a game too, right where you're like,
Speaker 3: wreat what is this song?
Speaker 2: Totally why did he pick that one? It's it's no joke.
Speaker 2: My favorite thing to do at a baseball game, at
Speaker 2: a bridge game is just name that tune and just
Speaker 2: like and then you go, wow, this guy's a genius.
Speaker 1: Man can tell Marte.
Speaker 2: Is that how you say his name? Yeah, I'm a
Speaker 2: little teapot.
Speaker 1: That's pretty.
Speaker 3: Songs out there, but not a lot of tea pot,
Speaker 3: tea kettle.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can't think of another one. But you're
Speaker 1: totally right. It's an underappreciated position. The organ is a
Speaker 1: baseball I.
Speaker 2: Mean I think he's he gives what's the guy's name?
Speaker 1: That's uh, sir Foster Foster.
Speaker 2: He gives him a run for his money a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sir Foster doesn't do it anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 3: No, we're still the organist capital of North America. A
Speaker 3: teenager recently found a Wilt Chamberlain Lakers warm up jacket
Speaker 3: at a Goodwill in Oregon. Paid three bucks for the jacket,
Speaker 3: then sold it at auction for eighty nine six hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh pretty good. Fine, guys, what's your best cheap purchase?
Speaker 1: A Swiss army knife recently for Yellowstone fre Yellowstone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I came in so handy. Kids have long fingernails. We
Speaker 1: needed a little scissors. Pulled out the Swiss army knife.
Speaker 1: Were they sharp enough to cut fingernails? Well? Nah? But
Speaker 1: at the same time it came in handy. I had
Speaker 1: to cut tags, I had to cut boxes. Wow, it
Speaker 1: just counts in super handy, super duper.
Speaker 3: How many like tools implements whatever they're called.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we get into the double digits.
Speaker 2: Ooh, you got one of the thickies.
Speaker 1: You gotta get a thicky. But it was cheap. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes I regret maybe I should have paid a lot
Speaker 1: more for one that had fewer tools on it. I
Speaker 1: don't know. There's things I think about it night.
Speaker 3: And the toothpick. I always thought that was the funniest
Speaker 3: thing to include.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it does like it's metal. Yeah, you would
Speaker 1: not want to Yeah, if you need it, So that's
Speaker 1: it came in handy anytime. Do I have it on
Speaker 1: me nowt No, But it's like I want to have
Speaker 1: it on me at all times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta become a grandpa. As soon as you
Speaker 3: become a grandpa, you can just start carrying a pocket knife.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: And it's awesome for that little tiny pocket you have
Speaker 1: in pants. Uh. But you know, here in Georgia we
Speaker 1: were shorts for four months of the year. You gotta
Speaker 1: have you got a pouch of some sort, you know,
Speaker 1: or a fanny pack or something. And I did buy
Speaker 1: one of those two. But you know, I pulled off
Speaker 1: a move like you, Trey. I know you got one,
Speaker 1: uh minus big though, got to return it. Come on, Dix,
Speaker 1: you don't offer a don't offer a smaller bag. I
Speaker 1: want a tiny one to hold basically to hold a
Speaker 1: Swiss army knife, keys wallet. That's it.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know I said, oh, the big one
Speaker 1: could fit a water bottle. You know, it's kind of stupid.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and watch will get or a knife will get
Speaker 3: lost in there.
Speaker 1: JD.
Speaker 3: What's your best cheap purchase?
Speaker 2: AMC A list, not an ad We see like eight
Speaker 2: movies a month. It's thirty bucks any format. Yep, it's
Speaker 2: it changes how you go to the movies because it's
Speaker 2: just like, eh, you just put your seat. Well, we'll
Speaker 2: double books sometimes and like can we do we go
Speaker 2: Thursday or Friday. I'll buck them both and then we
Speaker 2: just cancel.
Speaker 3: One of them. Yeah, you can like return the ticket, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just cancel it. We can cancel it twenty
Speaker 2: minutes before the movie. It's awesome, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. Like the prices I've even increased
Speaker 3: and I'm still like that's the worth.
Speaker 2: That's definitely. You go to monies. Yeah, it pays for
Speaker 2: its off.
Speaker 1: It's so if another seat is booked, you can't take
Speaker 1: that seat, right, like somebody has paid for a particular seat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's just like buying a ticket like weeks
Speaker 2: in advance.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just preserve your seat. Yeah, just because I
Speaker 1: was seeing Odyssey's. Every seat for Odyssey is taken for
Speaker 1: the next multiple weeks. Yes, they're doing showtimes at like
Speaker 1: three am. Yeah, come on, man, that's crazy, but they're
Speaker 1: all taken to it.
Speaker 3: Probably be fun.
Speaker 1: It's awesome.
Speaker 3: It's called six am and you're walking out of the theater.
Speaker 1: Maybe not as fun as Sunrising WHOA For me?
Speaker 3: Best chie purchase was I probably about like eighty percent
Speaker 3: of my record collection before vinyl records got really expensive.
Speaker 3: There was just like there was a good year. I
Speaker 3: got my turntable junior year of college, so probably like
Speaker 3: two thousand and four or something like that, and I
Speaker 3: would go and spend a ton of time at Kiss
Speaker 3: the Sky Records in Bataviial and Oily, just flipping through
Speaker 3: all of the used records, and like I was able
Speaker 3: to buy Beatles records for three to seven dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Back then talking Heads record like I got every Talking
Speaker 3: Heads record for under ten bucks easily. And now they're
Speaker 3: all really expensive. Yeah, even a used record is going
Speaker 3: to cost you a fifteen minimum.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I was happy to get a bunch of
Speaker 3: them because I.
Speaker 2: Would dare to say as an audio file sort of
Speaker 2: it's not worth it. It's not worth it to spend
Speaker 2: twenty bucks on a vinyl at this point.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, my speakers are probably four inches diagonally.
Speaker 3: I don't think I've changed my needle since I got
Speaker 3: it twenty years ago. So the audio quality it probably
Speaker 3: could be better, yeah, is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 3: But I also love I like having my favorite records
Speaker 3: on vinyl, and like I play them less through streaming,
Speaker 3: but I'm like, okay, sure, yeah, I'll turn on yeah,
Speaker 3: stop making sense or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, more likely to play it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm like, I want to have these ones. I
Speaker 3: want to make sure my kids have to carry these around.
Speaker 2: Well, like my kid wants to get into vinyl, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, just don't do it. Just don't do it,
Speaker 2: Like you don't have the setup for it. It's just
Speaker 2: so much upkeep, and it's just not the price of
Speaker 2: it is just crazy. It's just it's not worth it.
Speaker 2: You missed it, You missed the boat, son, I.
Speaker 3: Mean one I'll come along soon. Yeah, hopefully, so report
Speaker 3: surface this week. Like we talked earlier, Lebron irritated with
Speaker 3: Adam Silver because Silver said hurry up and pick a team,
Speaker 3: but you don't rush the king fellas. What's one thing
Speaker 3: you never want to rush.
Speaker 1: I wasn't picking a team. I was picking my hairs.
Speaker 1: I was picking my hairs from the top of my ear.
Speaker 1: I was plucking my ear hairs. Yeah, And Danielle comes
Speaker 1: into the room and says, you got to moisturize that ear.
Speaker 1: And I said, excuse me, I'm busy here. Do not
Speaker 1: do not rush this because I'm going to make my
Speaker 1: ear bleed if I try and rush it. I've done
Speaker 1: that man any times. Or I just grabbed the skin
Speaker 1: of my ear because I'm missing or doing it too fast.
Speaker 1: So she was trying to rush me. And I've never
Speaker 1: noticed my ear is dry until that. Until them, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I guess they're dry. That's one of those things like, okay,
Speaker 1: you know ankles, knees, elbows, they might be dry. But
Speaker 1: I've never I don't know if you guys have ever
Speaker 1: noticed that your ear, never your ear cartilage is causing
Speaker 1: some dryness or whatever's happening you're saying.
Speaker 3: You're saying top of ear top. He definitely definitely not.
Speaker 1: I guess I guess that's where she said, your husband.
Speaker 1: That's a weird one man.
Speaker 3: Jadie, what's one thing you never want to rush?
Speaker 2: I mean, not to be gross, but poops, I never push.
Speaker 2: I've been there for a while. I just yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: I don't want to. I don't want like a blown
Speaker 2: blood vessel in my eye, or hemorrhoids or that. You know.
Speaker 3: That, I agree.
Speaker 2: Just let the natural contractions do its thing and evacuate
Speaker 2: your bowels.
Speaker 1: Can't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your body's meant to do it, exactly.
Speaker 2: Grab a book, gravity, enjoy yourself, gravity works. Maybe maybe
Speaker 2: a little stool pardon the pun, to put your your
Speaker 2: feet up on, you know, just let it happen.
Speaker 1: I thought about that today, actually stool part of bringing
Speaker 1: a stool in because I was getting prepared for the show. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is number two of my number twos from this morning,
Speaker 1: and I got to get to work here. But I
Speaker 1: also don't want to rush it, so I was thinking
Speaker 1: about getting the stool in there. Sure I didn't do that, though,
Speaker 1: didn't go back to our No Season Required tour where
Speaker 1: I did that. I pulled a stool into the bathroom.
Speaker 1: That gross done with it fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3: Squatty potty. Why didn't they call it the stool stool, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I know, splun opportunity there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally missed opportunity. I'm personally never rushing a Bucky's
Speaker 3: visit or I never want to rush a Bucky's visit,
Speaker 3: which is a conundrum because every time we're there, it's
Speaker 3: a rush. Yeah, I got back down the roads going. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm never just going and it's always I do the
Speaker 3: gas outside, Laura and the girls go inside, go to
Speaker 3: the bathroom, so they got a little bit of a
Speaker 3: head start on me. Then I'm trying to play catch up.
Speaker 3: I gotta go to the bathroom. Yeah, and then I
Speaker 3: got to look at every single item in the store,
Speaker 3: and I never get to look at the clothing items,
Speaker 3: Like why do they have that stuff? You know, like
Speaker 3: I would love it seeing what all kinds of stuff
Speaker 3: they have over there.
Speaker 2: I mean you never you've never gone through and just
Speaker 2: quick little.
Speaker 3: Brows not enough. I mean yeah, definitely like a quick
Speaker 3: little brows or like you definitely see all the BUCkies
Speaker 3: branded stuff when you're walking through. The main thing fourth
Speaker 3: of July shirt or Halloween shirt, that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: But they got so much stuff in there, there's gotta
Speaker 3: be some weird things. They're probably still a knife, right,
Speaker 3: you'd have.
Speaker 1: To think, yeah, they got it all, they got it all.
Speaker 1: You're right. You want to rush, and quite often you're
Speaker 1: on a holiday weekend and there's a lot of people there,
Speaker 1: so it's crowded because buckis is that good?
Speaker 3: It's always a rush, but you never want it to be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: Those are three questions, three answers, nine total.
Speaker 1: Thank you for good math. Thank you for the questions
Speaker 1: A fun one. What's also fun is seeing people on
Speaker 1: sub stack comment on stuff after they jump on over
Speaker 1: to vote in our poll which movie franchise should no
Speaker 1: dunks cover the summer? As we've discussed that's what we're
Speaker 1: going to be doing. Pirates of the Caribbean has won.
Speaker 1: The poll is over. Thank you for the eleven and
Speaker 1: thirty eight votes. Pirates of the Caribbean was behind Indiana
Speaker 1: Jones with the boat got in front. Indian Jones was second,
Speaker 1: Transformers and Superman third and fourth. Thanks for the love

Speaker 1: for you joining our substack page. We'll be back Monday.
Speaker 3: I think we'll be back monday. Will we have a
Speaker 3: Lebron decision to talk about?
Speaker 1: Now we're talking odds. This is going to happen apparently
Speaker 1: according to the odds, According to the odds, which is
Speaker 1: I guess that's how odds work. I mean you can bet, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I think I saw it on Wednesday and the
Speaker 1: odds were the highest today, which is the Friday. Yesterday
Speaker 1: had some moths a Thursday. But that's how it should work,
Speaker 1: I guess for odds on when it's gonna happen, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty short term. You can't. You can't just
Speaker 1: throw in next week. But it went day by day, Okay, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 1: best odds Saturday start to you know, got a little
Speaker 1: worse Sunday got a little worse than Monday, So I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I'm buying the odds makers, but I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Great, it definitely could. You know, we're in a pretty
Speaker 3: dead time for sports going on right now. Baseball is going,
Speaker 3: of course, w NBA is going.
Speaker 1: But yeah, all start game tonight for WNB A.
Speaker 3: Cool Chicago if I'm not mistake.
Speaker 1: Okay, but yeah, there's there is gonna be a trickle
Speaker 1: down effect with Lebron, So there's gonna be more to
Speaker 1: talk about with Peyton Watson, Jalen Durham.
Speaker 3: One day run of course.

Speaker 3: Love you guys, awesome.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. And remember no one's stank smells
Speaker 1: better than your own stank, and that I had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with JD's rapid fire. I had that prepared
Speaker 1: from earlier. But it's a tie in. I mean, it's true.
Speaker 1: Do you consider that stank? I guess it is.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's your own. You can call it musk though,
Speaker 3: and it sounds better.
Speaker 1: You're right, Elan, embrace it.
Speaker 3: It
