On this episode of the Heat Check, we 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.360 get into some news around the NBA, more guys, into 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:23.040 the rumor mill of the trades. 0:00:23.720 --> 0:00:25.880 Jahn Morant just. 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.880 Killing kids, killing kids, staring them down, doesn't care who 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:36.199 you are. Wives, Chill, hide your kids, hide your wives. 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.360 Ja Morant's killing everybody up in here. We're getting into 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.560 busy season, Brocks, so let's drop that beat. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:49.680 Name like Mann, I'm perfect, good. 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:59.720 Name rays like. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:10.360 Genrean like a conservative dad living in Louisiana is sending 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.800 little kids to conversion therapy. 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:18.360 But in this case, it's not turning them straight. It's 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:19.560 setting them straight that. 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.480 There will be no fucking other fandom in this arena 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:29.040 except for the Memphis Grizzlies, specifically Steph Curry. There is 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.800 no more Steph Curry fans. If you are in our 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.680 arena and you root for us, you wear no one 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:35.480 else's jersey. 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.560 And if you wear another kid's jersey, another man's jersey, 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.840 and you ask for a high five in our fucking arena, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.280 I am not only turning you down. 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:52.760 I will flex on your face two inches from your 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:57.320 seven year old body and your whack ass Golden State 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:58.200 Warriors jersey. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.160 Because that is what happened, folks. So this is how 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:05.520 it all went down. Golden State plays in Memphis. Everybody's 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:09.519 excited every time Steph comes to town. Steph gets a 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:14.560 tons of fans and BP little kids love them. So 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:20.480 Steph Curry not anymore, not here anymore. So Ja Morant 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:25.440 dunks a little kid courtside, puts his hand up the 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.679 jaw and jaw's like, no, absolutely not. You're in a 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:34.919 Steph Curry jersey and he flexes in this kid's face. 0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.480 Can't be rooting for Steph and actually also rooting for us. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.680 So they asked him about it in the presser. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.919 After the last bucket. You got through the follow and 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.000 you go into the stands and there's a little kid 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.720 wearing a Warriors. 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:50.520 Respectful with that jersey. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:51.880 He want's say that again. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.520 He was disrespect He's no mercy for the little kid. 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:00.520 It looked like he wanted to check, but you had 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:01.040 that jersey. 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.680 I apologize to him, but in that moment, bro take 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.200 the turney off and then me up. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.880 You want to back into Grizzlies next to my next 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:20.640 to uh, somebody find no disrespect the guy. He probably 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:21.000 looked up. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.520 Yep, that's what he's doing. Folks. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.920 I'll send every kid that lives in Memphis my jersey, 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.240 Jaren's jersey, Dylan's jersey, fuck it, even Desmond Baines jersey. 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.800 But no Steph Curry fandom in this building. It's time 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.880 for conversion therapy, folks. 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.240 And that's what happened. 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.960 And this moment, this viral could have been a bad 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.560 PR move, truthfully, but it became funny. But it turned 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.920 into a positive PR move, maybe one of the greatest 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:58.520 PR moves in modern memory. The Grizzlies have now turned 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:03.880 this into an event. Every little kid in Memphis canal 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.800 come to this event. Turn it like a pit, like 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.960 an old can of soup where you get to go 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.080 to the movies, you know what I mean, Like bring 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:17.719 your beans, bring your stead, and you get to see 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.680 like Little Women or something. And so. 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:22.880 What's that movie with Whoopy Goldberg? Ass? 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:25.920 What I did? I gave like some spaghettios to get 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:31.440 into that Whoopy Goldberg movie Class Act three or Eddie 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.800 Sister Act Cistract four some shit. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:36.600 So that's what's happening. 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.640 You bring your little can of beans aka your Steph 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:44.680 Curry jersey, your Lebron jersey, any other jersey. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.039 You give it to us, you don't. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.799 Own it anymore, and we will give you two Memphis 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.960 Grizzly jerseys back. We'll give you one from Jaw and 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.520 one from Jaron. And on top of that, since you're 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:02.120 giving us your old fandom, you're literally turning in your fandom. Honestly, 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.960 that's the best. You're turning in the rights to that fandom. 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.640 And you're also in Shane's getting two tickets to the game, 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.039 where I imagine you gotta wear those jerseys, showing up, 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:20.520 showing out tremendous, just electric. And that brings me, I 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.200 guess to a question, what franchise is the best to 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.640 its fans? By that, I mean what NBA team has 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.920 the best fan base outreach program and treats its fans 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.440 the best. Because and I'll compile the best responses for 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.720 a segment on the next week's episode, but because the 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.039 reason that there are little kids all over the world, 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.760 all over the country, not only wearing Steph Curry jerseys 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:51.479 because he's electric, but also because Golden State has created 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:56.599 one of the most child friendly environments in the NBA 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.920 all of the community outreach they do around the band, 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.560 all of the events that they take place in where 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.680 they're signing things and hanging out and soup kitchens and shit. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:10.920 They're literally tailoring that experience for young fans so they 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:14.679 can turn them into little Golden State Warrior soldiers on word, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:24.479 Golden Warriors marching onto war with the cross of dreammon 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.839 It's like that they're turning their prop It's like it's propaganda, folks, 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:30.600 is what this is. 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:31.400 Let's be honest. 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.560 That's what all of sports is, is turning you into 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.800 treating this as a tribe so they can control you. 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.160 Don't worry about that though. Don't worry about that though. 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.440 Put a little something on your head. 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:45.200 We'll get you in. I'm clowning now. Anyway. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:49.360 We gotta get to some more news. Sacramento Kings, we 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:49.880 love them. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:51.359 It's sorry annual. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:56.320 It's our bi weekly check in on the Sacramento Kings, 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.760 and of course, as usual, it starts with us checking 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:05.160 in on poor old Alvin Gentry, interim head coach. We've 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:08.920 been talking a lot about this esteemed gentleman, truly one 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.080 of the league's elder statesman, voice of reason. You know, 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.400 the man with the cigar, just sitting on the porch 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.800 swinging giving you advice and wisdom. We've been talking about 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.000 him ever since he took over for Luke Walton. Then 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:28.040 ever since, I think, slowly but surely, game by game. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.680 The team is driving him insane. I think so. 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:37.520 At least twice he's open postgame pressers with apologies, heartfelt ones, 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.480 and then he's led to like aggressive callouts. 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:46.240 He's yelling on the sidelines. It's not working. Maybe at 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.640 least they did win against the Lakers the other night. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.200 They did do that, it seems the fifth time they 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.280 played one another, and they finally get a win in regulation. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:59.120 So no matter that, he can't fix it. And the 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.920 most important thing that I see night after night after 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:07.280 night is he cannot wring an ounce of consistency out 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.160 of this lineup. Tristan Thompson, who's consistent as hell, is 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.920 doing one thing and not doing it on the floor Poundtown. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.520 And you know what, maybe you should be able to 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.160 doing Poundtown down. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.040 Under the rim, Tristan Thompson, instead of at aria or 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.240 excess or wherever the fuck you end up pulling your 0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:32.080 instant thoughts and impregnating them. It's not his fault, though, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:37.240 Alvin Gentry. I don't think Bobby Knight could fix this team. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.959 I don't think he could yell his way or or 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:44.640 beat his way into making this team a disciplined bunch 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:46.480 or a winning record. 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.319 I don't think it's happening. The facing issues facing this 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.040 team date. 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.480 Back at least like five years ago, probably to when 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.960 they drafted players they shouldn't have how they constructed this roster. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.760 Let's be honest, Like I love Davion Mitchell, Well we 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.720 know that wasn't a great pick unless you're gonna trade 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.360 someone else. And it appears the bedrock upon which this 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:14.600 wonky fucking guard forward team has been built. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.640 Is maybe probably kind of gonna get traded. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:18.920 Yep. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.200 I'm not talking about Marvin Bagley either, don't worry. Uh, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.840 he'll stay around for a little while. I'm talking about 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.880 Dearon Fox. Turns out deeron Fox. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:29.439 Is a broken man. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:30.040 Uh. 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:31.640 He's a man, a thoughtful man. 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.520 I don't actually know if he's broken, But the centerpiece 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.319 of the King's marketing campaign since he got drafted is 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.719 now so down trodden that he's openly talking to the 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:45.720 media about all the scenarios of him potentially being traded. 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.800 That is what consistently losing will do for you. 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:56.199 Chris Haynes just dropped a woe size bomb, which I've 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.040 spent five minutes thinking about. With the sound of a 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.240 Chris Haynes bomb, say, I was like, it's the ground swell, right, 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:03.439 it's a boom. 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:06.319 Where you know a bomb went off. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.199 You don't know where it went out. It's underneath somewhere. 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.920 You don't hear the pole because it's underneath. When Chris 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.920 Haynes drops a bomb, it comes from the source underground, 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.040 and you can hear its reverberations throughout the league. And 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:24.400 so a wode size bomb dropped when he reported that 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.640 Fox's name is now being circulated around the league as 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.960 a superstar who could be had for the right price. 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.360 I mean, everybody's available for the right price, but he's 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.360 actually like available available, not just like, oh, I've been 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.599 with some girl for a year and a half, but 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.160 like we're not married yet. It's like, no, I've been 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.800 with this girl, but I'm not that happy and she's 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.320 not that happy with me. Somebody want to do our 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.400 wife swap kind of a thing. And my first thought 0:10:53.679 --> 0:11:00.720 was somewhere, someplace, Darryl Morey just got went from six 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:05.079 to twelve. He's like, did someone say Deer and Fox. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.800 I don't know how well Tyrese Maxey and Deer and 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.880 Fox would work together. Probably Tyree would end up on 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.000 the bench. But I know Darryl Moury is salivating at 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:18.160 the potential to get a player like Fox, and so 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.120 when asked about this possibility, instead of ducking the answer 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.480 like most athletes will do, to his. 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:27.480 Credit, Fox brutally honest. Yep, this is what he told Hanes. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.720 You definitely think about potentially being traded because we're struggling. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:34.920 I mean, that's an understatement. I'd say, if you do 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.000 have a change of scenery, it changes everything. I've been 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.199 here for five years. I've built the life here, I 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.360 built a family here. But once I'm on the court, 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.080 all of that is out the window. You're not thinking 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.960 about anything else that can happen outside of your control. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.520 And that's a lie. Uh And that's a lie. I 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:54.480 promise you. 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:59.640 The thought of leaving the Sacramento Kings has been on 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.719 his mind. I consistently think he's thinking about things that 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.160 are one hundred percent out of his control, which is 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.320 getting traded it was on. 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:09.280 His mind so much. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.240 He talked about it for like ten minutes on this 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.360 interview just that. Here are some of my favorite excerpts. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.240 I've been through some deadlines. I've seen people get traded 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.719 at the last second. You try not to think about it, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.040 but you know, it's a business. Anything can happen, and 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.040 I'm not sure what's. 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:25.360 Going to happen. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.839 Obviously, you see reports on Twitter. I love that that's 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:32.000 where guys see reports, like see reports on Twitter. Uh Am, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:32.839 I worried about it. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.720 No, can it happen? Yeah, it can definitely happen. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.839 I'm not gonna sit here and say I want to 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:43.599 get traded, but anything can happen in this business, and 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.880 that's a lie, and that's a lie. I think he 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.319 definitely wants to change the scenery. I think if you're 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.280 with the Sacramento Kings and you're losing and losing and 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.320 losing for five straight years, haven't been to the playoffs, 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.200 go through coach and another coach, and then you get 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.240 Luke Walton, then you get another coach, I think you 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.920 would want a fresh start. They've averaged under thirty wins 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.120 his entire career and they're ten games Jesus, and they're 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.240 ten games under five hundred right this moment. It's what 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:12.880 y'all said. You've seen some of the best players in 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.599 the league get traded. You can't think you're safe. But 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.040 I love being here because for years the Kings were 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.600 the only professional team in the city. 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.360 Kings fans they love the Kings. Pause. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.040 If you google, like I said, Sacramento Kings, the first 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.800 thing you find outside of the team pages whether they exist. 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.640 So I don't know that that, like rabid, I don't 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.559 know that there's that many of them. He said. That's 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:37.599 what I've always loved about it. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.840 Me coming from Kentucky, That's how it was with us, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.240 even when we had a good football. 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:46.839 Team, no one cared what a ricochet shot. It was 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.040 a basketball school. 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.920 This is a basketball city, and these fans have a 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:54.640 genuine love for the Kings and its players, and that's 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.000 something that I love. Just kind of an unnecessary shot 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.439 at UK football for me, not a necessary thing to 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.400 say at all, but yeah, I mean, I would say 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.640 Fox clearly likes that fan base. He's been the man 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:13.840 in a city where it's only that purple black deer 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:15.760 in Fox swipe. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.600 A then he cut his hair, and things have gone 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:18.840 downhill since and then. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.080 Haines also reported that teams have consistent interest also in 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:28.360 Tyrese Halliburton, along with Marvin Bagley Junior and Harrison Barnes 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.880 are also reported to be on the move. So a 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.800 lot of players. Uh, you know what we've got here, folks. 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.600 We've got a good old fashioned estate sale on our hands. 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.680 The Kings Man, the Kings I was thinking about. The 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:50.360 Kings remind me of like when a rich old miser 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:56.160 dies and everyone circles around the widow and they're like, oh, man, 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.080 you know, miss Johnson, I'm so sorry for your loss. 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:03.760 Would you take one hundred and fifty dollars for that 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.000 rolex over there? It's nice. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.560 I mean, these items are probably really tough for you 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.800 to look at, given you know the emotional connection that 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.720 you have to them, So I can take them off 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.960 your hands and get rid of all that pain. 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.720 I mean, I'm sure Chester, what was is it? 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:27.440 Chester would prefer his watch on someone's wrist that really 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:31.800 appreciates it. Let me take hold of that full collection 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:37.240 and I'll make sure that every single owner takes care 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:42.120 that Chester would feel proud of to let his legacy 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:49.040 go on like shitty, like like just piranhas circling the water, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.200 swirling around this team and all the potential items of 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.960 value that you could just drop into potential contenders Dear 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:57.960 and Fox Diaries. 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:00.080 However, Davion Mitch. 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.600 Rashaun Holmes, a lot of guys that could just easily 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:09.400 integrate into it, would be contender and just fit and 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.200 GM's are largely scum bags, just like guys who buy 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.360 second hand watches, you know, second used, and they try 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.560 to like turn it into like a real profession. 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.440 Those guys are largely scumbags. 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:27.600 And now the Kings are being seen as a dead 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.080 carcass in which the choice parts need to be picked out, 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.360 like you just go in there and just get everything 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:38.520 out until it's just the rib cage, just Marvin Baglady, 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:47.800 Marvin Bagley's the ribcage of the dead. Animal vultures, folks, vultures, 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:52.040 every last one of them. And if you're a Kings fan, gross, 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.920 you really probably want to see Ben Simmons instead. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:57.800 Of Darren Fox. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:04.120 A top seven protect the first rounder for Haliburton, slightly 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.280 used Converse chucks for Marvin Bagley Junior. I don't know 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:10.960 the third no no, you don't not at all. Well, 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.520 I mean, unless it's like those Dior chucks. Those Deyor 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.680 chucks are fire. I would definitely get Deor Chucks for 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.400 Marvin Bagley. But if you're not a Kings fan, which 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.719 is basically everyone, you probably want to see deeron somewhere 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:29.159 where he can thrive, can be fully appreciated, where his 0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.800 coach is not saying mean things about him and his 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.840 teammates every night, and where his other teammate isn't constantly 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.480 in TMZ for impregnating some other girl that he's not 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.800 even with, some cocktail waitress or something. You want to 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.800 see Tyres Halliburton on a winning team too, and so 0:17:47.960 --> 0:17:50.000 on and so on and so on. And the nice 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.960 part about this, though, bright Side Silver Linings twenty twenty 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:58.439 two goal for me, Silver Linings. Everyone is now watching 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:02.240 the Kings. I mean not actually physically watching them play, 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:04.960 but where all eyes are on all eyes are on 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:07.080 the Kings, if you know what I mean, Like, I'm 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.720 not watching a ten pm tip of the Kings. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:14.720 That's like last resort basketball. And then it's back and 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.000 until they trade all their assets. That'll happen. They trade 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.800 them all and then it's back to purgatory. 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.000 And then the next group comes in with all the 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.640 lottery picks you just accumulated that don't fit together because 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.040 you don't have anyone to evaluate talent. Put them together 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.040 like a little quiote, and then you do it all 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:33.399 over again. Fun times in Sacramento. 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:35.560 Uh moving along? 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:43.000 Uh oh rot roll more breaking James Wiseman news alert, 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:51.600 Alert alert some info that has just been casually swept 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.840 under the rug, kind of like when the Pelicans tried 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.080 to slide in the news during training camp or their 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.679 media day about Zion coming off of foot surgery, when 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.840 they were like telling the media like, hey, we've also 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.879 added carmelcorn to our list of concession offerings as a 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:09.960 pregame meal, and you're. 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.520 Like, love Carmel. Kornman, what was that first part you 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.879 just said? What was that thing about Zion? Did you 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.520 just say he had off season surgery? When were you 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:20.200 gonna tell us that? 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:20.920 Right now? 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.760 About with the popcorn? Is in Step one? Tell you 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.800 about the popcorn. Step two, tell you about the media 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.840 signed seating. Step three, tell you by Zion. Back to 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:32.600 James Wiseman. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.600 You know, James Wiseman, he was that next Superstar Center 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.399 that the Warriors could have taken LaMelo Ball and then 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.240 they ended up taking him the one that was gonna 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:42.960 come into the league. 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.440 Dominate on both sides of the floor. 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.920 Be a monster on the glass, be a monster defensively, 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.760 have athleticism, be able to shoot, be able to dribble. 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.119 Do all these things. Play pick and roll with Steph. 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:58.600 Make this team better. Like Evan Mobley. Like Evan Mobley, 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:05.800 James has not turned into Evan Mobley. He has not. 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:10.400 He's not even close to Isaiah Mobley, Evan Mobley's older 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:11.359 brother who's still in college. 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:16.199 And I'm not even sure if James Wiseman is as 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:17.359 valuable as the. 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:25.800 Mid century modern cocktail table inside the vintage store around 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.960 the corner from my apartment called the Modern Mobler, Like 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:30.120 I don't even think. 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:33.600 I don't even that's in real place and didn't make 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:37.200 it up. I love mid century modern Furture never goes 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:38.359 out of style, you know what I mean? 0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:42.880 Like I'm a fan of Danish design and like one 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.600 can last generation after generation. 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:47.600 The other one is James Wiseman, you know what I mean? 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:48.560 Like who knows? 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:54.560 And just unlike unlike that cocktail table James Wiseman's probably 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.000 more damaged than we realized. That cocktail table is in 0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.680 great shapes. Nine hundred bucks. I'm still thinking about it 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.680 right on top. Why what else would the Golden State 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:09.960 Warriors hide this particular huge piece of news that just broke. 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:16.439 This is what they said, Golden State Warriors Center James 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:21.520 Wiseman underwent an additional arthroscopic knee surgery in December. 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:28.680 Pause. That's like, that's like just this other day, eight. 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:34.720 Months after his initial meniscus surgery last April. Porkwal Okay, 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:41.080 excuse me, what so listen. I follow the Warriors obviously 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:46.080 very closely, almost as closely as anyone before. My Twitter 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.400 was hacked, like eighty seven percent of my mentions. We're 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.440 all Warriors fans. I have to stay locked in for them, 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:56.240 my avatar, Jordan Poole, I'm in. I am into Warriors Twitter. 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.399 I know what's happening. I know who the pulse of 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.960 the team has. I know how important Gary Payton the 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:07.680 second is. Fucking Jordan Poole, I said it, avatar, And 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.639 I never heard a peep, not a little bowl peep, 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.680 not a little peep before Easter. 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:16.560 Who I love, love those. 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:21.840 You would think that the number two picked in the 0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:24.560 twenty twenty draft getting knee surgery just three weeks ago 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:30.240 after being touted as early to return this season, which 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:31.680 now we're halfway through. 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.920 Would I don't know, be big news, big news. It's 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:41.560 just swept under the rug. So apparently here's what happened. 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.520 Wiseman was slated to return to full practice in November, 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:50.600 which I told people, No, I've told them, no, that's 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.040 not gonna happen. You should try to trade them, you 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:54.960 should trade them fast. 0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:57.960 Ah, we're doing everything. We got a big man, blah blah. 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:03.000 Nobody's listening. But here we go. So then nothing. 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:05.800 We all figured that they were just being cautious, just 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.520 like they were about Clay. They're playing so well, they 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:09.119 didn't need them. 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:10.400 Why rush them back. 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:14.960 As it turns out, apparently Wiseman needed a scope and 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:19.959 a cleanup in mid December, which has quote which has 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:24.000 quote slowed his anticipated comeback from the injury. 0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:28.080 I mean, no shit, it's another surgery. 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:33.600 When asked why the Warriors held this info so close 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:38.600 to their chest, Anthony Slater, Warriors beat writer, wrote, only 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:39.080 they know. 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:44.000 I know, I know why. Uh, they're trying to move them. 0:23:44.240 --> 0:23:47.040
