Is 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: that Kenny Lofton sons the baseball player? Like how the 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: funk is your dad so small and he got so big? 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back to What's Burning? Jack, We officially have a 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: champ in the NBA. The Golden State Warriors finished in 7 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: six like you said they would. Congratulations them first and foremost. 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: Did you get a chance to see any of the 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: parade or or any of the edits floating around social media? 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: Well one one uh the night they wanted Jamond something 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: in a little texts and only the strung survive on Instagram. 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 1: Uh of me saying that he shouldn't have been doing 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: the podcast if he was playing, well, yeah, do it. 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: But White the way he's playing, he shouldn't be doing it. 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And I know that's my 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: little brother. We are. We go back and forth sometimes, 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: but I'm so proud of him, bro, because he started 18 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: off bad. And the reason why I said that he 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been doing the podcast during that time, man, 20 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: because as me and you both know, how the old media, 21 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: not us in the new media, would try to scrutinize 22 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: him and try to his legacy and blame the whole 23 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: series on on him on the podcast instead of their play, 24 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: and it would have looked all bad. So that's how 25 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: I was thinking. But I'm happy for my bro. Talk 26 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: your ship, man, you deserve your ship. I watched a 27 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: lot of him, Matt Clay, you know Clay. I was 28 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: looking for Clay the whole time. He play all the time, 29 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: and he didn't disappoint me. Dog for the organization, I'm 30 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: happy for I'm happy for all of them. Man, it's big. 31 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy to be a part of that family 32 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: as well. No, definitely, I mean again, hats off to 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: this team. Uh, it's unfortunate, like we live in a 34 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: society today that that people feel like it's weak to 35 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,559 Speaker 1: show love. So instead of showing love this the whole 36 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: season and even now people are knocking them for whatever 37 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: reason they can possibly fine. But what I love is 38 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: this team is is a tight knit group. They don't 39 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: give a funk about what the outside has to say. 40 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: And again, man, they're producing, you know, four championship in 41 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: eight seasons. But what we talked about yesterday on ESPN 42 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: was pretty funny because obviously there's some pettiness going on. Again, 43 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: you don't remember as players, Man, we may not be 44 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: present for everything, but somehow, some way gets back to us. 45 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: Everything that's said by someone that's relevant eventually gets back 46 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: to him. So Steph knew Steph has some petty ship 47 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: going on. Uh, Clay has some ship. You know. Draymond 48 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: was talking this ship, so I just think it was dope. Again, 49 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: after all this team is accomplished, to kind of just 50 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: get that ship off your chest, because again, I'm sure 51 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: in the position they're in, they endured just so much 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: hate along the way. It's got to feel, you know, 53 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: vindicating to obviously when the championship. First and foremost, but 54 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: to be able to just shut all these motherfucker's up, man, 55 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: So shout out to the homies man Warriors. Eight years. 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: We paid them fine for them to be able to talk. 57 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: They talk their ship comfortably. We paid them dues that 58 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: no definite, definitely offseason, man, they got a lot of 59 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: choices coming up. First and foremost, Jordan's pool Uh is 60 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: heading into the last year of his rookie deal. Uh. 61 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: He has until the seventh to strike a new deal 62 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: with the doves. Andrew Wiggins. I didn't realize Andrew Wiggins 63 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: is this young? What is he? He's still in his 64 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: twenties and the final season of his hundred forty seven 65 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: million dollar Workie extension. Obviously, Wiggins express he wants to stay. 66 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: He's definitely found at home there. Uh Looney who was 67 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: pivotal uh in these playoffs. Uh is linked to possibly 68 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Sack and Mike Brown heading over there. Um the only 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: guy to play every game this season a hundred and 70 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: four games, eighty two in the regular season, twenty two 71 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: in the post beautiful thing. If I was playing his minutes, 72 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: I'll be ever played nine season straight. Got three rings, 73 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: three of them. Other unrestricted free agents g P two, 74 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: Iggy Otto, Porter, but Eliza, Damien Lee. Let's play GM 75 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: four a little bit. I just gave you a list 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: of people who are up. Let's talk about maybe some 77 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: of the words top priorities. Pool and Wiggins for sure. Um, 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: I think that's that's the two big ones. I mean, 79 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you ain't coming back if I get 80 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: to get jobs somewhere in the office is somewhere. Um, 81 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: Damon Lee got a good shot because he brother in law. Stuff. 82 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: So he might slide in there on on the minimum 83 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: or something. But Pool and and um Wiggins are big 84 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: keys to their puzzle. Wiggins is that stopper, you know, 85 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: with with Clay slowing down a little bit. But I 86 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: think they will be better next year. But did that 87 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: dynamic having those guys as your core. I think that's 88 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: that's what they're looking forward to to be able to repeat. Yeah, 89 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: it's interesting to see because you know, uh Pool is 90 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna probably demand anywhere from twenty to twenty five million 91 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: per season. Uh Wiggins. You know, teams are gonna throw 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: money at Wiggins. It'll be interesting to see, you know, 93 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: who takes what um to keep this this team together. 94 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: Also g P two UM, I think he'll get, you know, 95 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: a couple of million dollars situation to hopefully stay there. 96 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: His journey has been a beautiful thing. Agreed, I think 97 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: we have seen the last of Iggy, but if we 98 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: have Man, four time champion, his accolades are are incredible, 99 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: His leadership and just the way he carried himself. Man 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: will definitely be missing this game. And also, someone else 101 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: I think was important at times was Auto Porter. I 102 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: think his versatility, his ability to make shots, Um played 103 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: huge in this run for them, so they definitely got 104 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: some stuff to do. But this team has showed they're 105 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: not afraid to go into the luxury tax. Uh. They're 106 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: deep in that motherfucker. So they're most like, you're gonna 107 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: have to you know. To me, it's it's all hands in, 108 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: you know for steps final. You know, I feel like 109 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: they have a two or three year window. I could 110 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: be wrong, it could be a little longer, but you know, 111 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: they're getting Wiseman back again. They got a lot of 112 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: young talent they need to resign. But I think it's 113 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: all hands in. As much as it costs to continue 114 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: to put a competitive team around Steff while he's here, 115 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: I think they have to do. Yep, Jack, we haven't 116 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: done this a little while. We're back to fan question. 117 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: Let's run through a few questions, uh for some of 118 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: our fans that were tapping in from home, Starting with 119 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: coach twelve. What's the best game you think you two 120 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: have ever played? Is there a game that comes to 121 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: mind for you? Jack? Best game I've played? Uh? I 122 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: had forty three against Houston, I had thirty three in 123 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: Game six against Dallas, and I had I led the 124 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: team that scoring Game six West comments Finals for the Spurs. 125 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: So those three games, that's big. That's big for me. 126 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: Ship probably in a losing effort. Unfortunately. I had a 127 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: thirty point in like tenor eleven rebound game against Memphis 128 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: in the playoffs when I was with the Clippers um 129 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: the last year before we got DC Rivers in Memphis. 130 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: So it was a big game when Zebo tried to 131 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: beat up uh Blake and I had a hard foul's 132 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,559 Speaker 1: e Bo. That's probably one of my uh yeah, probably 133 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: one of my more memorable games. Next fan question, T D. 134 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: Johnson eight seven. Is Steph Curry a top ten playoff 135 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: all time? He has to be. I think he has 136 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: to be. I'll know exactly where he fits in the 137 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: hierarchy before we get to this. Did you see Skipping 138 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: Shannon's top ten list yesterday? I'm glad I didn't. Probably 139 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: uh uh. Skip had Lebron at number nine, which is 140 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: fucking ridiculous, and then Shannon had Kobe at number nine 141 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: and didn't even have Shock in the top ten. Yeah, man, 142 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: like two nine basketball players. I respect him both and 143 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: I love them both. I fun both of them. But 144 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: come on, fellas, come on, fella, did you disrespecting the game. 145 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Top ten, Yet to me, Steff is definitely top ten. 146 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: A transitional talent if you think about people who have 147 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: kind of revolutionized the game. Uh. You know, obviously the 148 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: all time leading score cream at Blue Jabar sky hook 149 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: that will never be matched, and all those Steph shoots 150 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: the three and other people shoot the three. No one 151 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: shoots that motherfucker like Steph. So to me, I feel 152 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: like he's, you know, kind of had a transitional movement 153 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: in the game. He's moved the game forward. And you know, 154 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: we talked about this all the time, and me coaching 155 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: my kids and being at the tournament to watching younger 156 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: kids jack. These kids don't warm up in the paint 157 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: no more. These motherfucker's put their shoes on and start 158 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: shooting the ball from half court to get warmed up. 159 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: And I feel like that's, you know, the Steph Curry effect. 160 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: And then not to mention all his accolades, you know 161 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people said he needed this Finals MVP 162 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: to define his legacy. Whoa whoa Uh. To me, I 163 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: think step is more uh worried about team success and 164 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: and he was able to help capture this fourth championship 165 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: in eight years at the finals MVP two. But yeah, Jack, 166 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: I definitely think Steph is in the top ten by far, 167 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: not even close. He's in the top ten. Um when 168 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: you talk about little little little guards best ever, I 169 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: mean Ai, Uh, Isaiah Thomas. I love Ai to death 170 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: and a number one for a long time, but step 171 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: is the pasted Ai, you know, and you know how 172 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: I feel about as uh. Step Definitely, step is definitely 173 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: in my top ten, not even close, best six three 174 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: and under player and that that I mean, I think 175 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: he's jumped. With all due respect Ai and Isaiah Thomas. 176 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: Some people have Isaiah Thomas up there and and and 177 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: for good reason, but I think stuff has has has 178 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: surpassed both those legends. Shankar underscore tennis. What are the 179 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: Clippers prospects next season assuming a healthy Kauai MPG. I heard, 180 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: you know they possibly trying to get Kyrie to so 181 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: you imagine I don't know what the club is doing, 182 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: but uh, they're not doing nothing if Kauai yet. Yeah, 183 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: I think Kauai is obviously the key. Shout out t 184 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: lou Man. He's able to have been able to keep 185 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: this team competitive and in the playoffs with stars missing 186 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: majority of the whole season. PG came back at the end, 187 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,359 Speaker 1: but I think those two healthy automatically put this team, 188 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: uh in the top five position in the league. Also, 189 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: have heard the rumors about Kyrie Irving, and can't you 190 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: imagine if Kyrie came to l A put basketball first 191 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: and work with those two killers, it could be a problem. 192 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, definitely looking forward to the Clippers getting healthy 193 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: next year. Ebridge three nine A player do celsiony to 194 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: your eyes to get over the last hurdle? Who I mean? 195 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: I think this experience for the Celtics was a great 196 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: learning experience. I think Jayson Tatum is gonna learn a 197 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: lot um from this experience and use it to drive 198 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: him this offseason to get better. Uh. These guys play great. 199 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,719 Speaker 1: They just ran into, you know, a really good veteran team. 200 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: I think they need to add some depth, first and 201 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: foremost in a point guard. I know it won't happen, 202 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: but someone like a Jathen Brunson, who can run the team, 203 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: who can play defense, who can move smart over because 204 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: the smartest done a tremendous job of playing point um, 205 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: but I don't really feel like he's a natural playmaking 206 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: point um. I just think he's been able to be 207 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: so talented. He can play the position, but you know, 208 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: a solid guard that that plays his role. You remember 209 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: they've tried to have They've they've tried Kimba, they tried Kyrie, 210 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: and a scoring point guard doesn't work. I think, you know, 211 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: Brunson can score out of necessity. But I also think 212 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: he does a good job of running the team and 213 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: he locks up on defense. So those are just a 214 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: few things that kind of came to mind for me 215 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: talking about the Celtics. I think they really really put together. 216 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: You know, the Eastern Conference champs, just made it to 217 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: the finals. I don't even think it is too much 218 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: they need to do. I think they can go small 219 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: if they add another guard, like maybe like a guy 220 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: you said, Colin Sexon or something like that. They can 221 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: add a guy like that and play smaller where they 222 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: can play Brown and take them at the three and 223 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: four instead of the two and three, and that way 224 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: you can play Marco Smart at the two guard and 225 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: he can do what he do best shut the two 226 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: guards down. Thata look better than me. But for the 227 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: most part, Dog, they just need to stay healthy, get 228 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: Williams healthy and see what they can do. Yeah, maybe 229 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: like a Malcolm Brockton. Yeah. I hope williams uh gets healthy. 230 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: I heard he had to need drinks several times during 231 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs, So hopefully he'll be able to get that 232 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: calm down and right before the season starts. Malcolm Brockton 233 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: is a good name. The Smith's twenty one. What is 234 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: the biggest what if? Of your guys careers? For me, 235 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: it's easy. What if I never got into that brawl 236 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: in Detroit? Would have been a multiple All Star? I 237 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: had out two years why average twenty, I would have 238 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: got more accolades than what I had and probably looked 239 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: that different. I didn't get those accolades just because of that, 240 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: because I was looked at as a bad guy something 241 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: like that, and uh infected my career. So what if 242 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: I didn't get the joint also getting a lot more 243 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: money and not being able to keep your money? I 244 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: think my biggest what if? So or what if the 245 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: motherfucking Lop City Clippers got it together and and really 246 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: funk with each other on the court like we're supposed 247 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: to and and put egos at the door the way 248 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: that Warrior's team did. When I got a chance to 249 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: go there because I felt like for a couple of years, 250 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: we had the most talent in the NBA, the deepest team, 251 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: and we should have won at least played for a championship. 252 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: And I saying we should have't want it, but we 253 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: should have at least played for a championship, but we 254 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: couldn't get out of our own ways. So my biggest 255 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: what if is what if the Lob City team funked 256 00:12:47,800 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: with each other? Yeah? Chip, definitely a chip. Next on 257 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: the radar presented you by DraftKings, the DraftKings three odds 258 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: on favor for the NBA champ being Chip. God damn 259 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: let the Warriors, bro. You already know that it's on 260 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: to the next You know that the conversation is already 261 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: what then are the Lakers gonna do? And who's gonna 262 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: win it next year? You know how how fast ship moves. 263 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: So DraftKings has surprise, surprise that l A Clippers at 264 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: a plus six hundred right along with the Golden State Warriors. 265 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: They're both odds on favor to win. You can throw 266 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: Boston in there with the plus six hundred as well, 267 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: Brooklyn with the plus six fifty, Milwaukee with the plus 268 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: eight hundred, Phoenix with a plus nine hundred, and to 269 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: round out the top ten, Philly with the plus fift hundred. 270 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: I want to talk about this real quick, Jack, before 271 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: we get out of here. Doc Rivers was seen on 272 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: TMZ and they're asking what's up about James Harden and 273 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: he was, you know, saying everything positive he could think of, 274 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: because I think he remembered last time when he spoke 275 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: on Ben Simmons all the drama cars in the off season, Jack, 276 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: do you think James will get a MAX from Philly 277 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: or do you think he'll leave the team some flexibility 278 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: to be able to go out and grab another another star. 279 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: And listen, we understand the game. We know we're going 280 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. This guy is there more. He's there, 281 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: this guy. That's the only reason he went there every 282 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: when it was this time, to be there with his 283 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: guy to secure the bread. I know what he was doing. 284 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: He knew he had to play his best. He knew 285 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: he was gonna get that brand. And from his guy. 286 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: Of course he's gonna get that bread. He gonna get 287 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: it right there from this guy. The guy he ran 288 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: over there too, the guy that's coddling him, the guy 289 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: that's letting him playing whenever he wants to, and play 290 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: as hard as he wants to when he wants to. 291 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: That guy, the same guy he was in with in 292 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Houston that he didn't win with, the same guy in 293 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: Philly that he hasn't won with yet, that's the guy 294 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: he wanted to. That's the guy that's gonna pay. So 295 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: is he do you think? You know? Obviously he's been 296 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: able to acquire a ton of money and and the 297 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: goal of players is to get as much money as 298 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: you can while you can. Knowing that he's accomplished every 299 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: individual accolade you can accomplish, with all scars and scoring 300 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: titles and and triple double records and ship, do you 301 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: think he takes every penny on the table or he 302 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: leaves a team some flexibility to go grab another star. 303 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: If I'm James, I definitely um get the most I 304 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: can and still put my team in a position to 305 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: get better. But at that but I don't think he. 306 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to do that, you know 307 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: I I think You're gonna get the maximount he can 308 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: and and see if him and him and m B 309 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: can do it by themselves right there in Philly and 310 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: if I lose and that, hey, I'm still I'm still 311 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: in Philly, enjoying myself, dream chases, Still rich as fuck. 312 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: Closing thoughts. Uh, to me, what makes the NBA continue 313 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,239 Speaker 1: to grow is that even though the championship has been decided, 314 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: it'll still be the talk of the summer because there's 315 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna be so much but there has been in the past, 316 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: so much movement amongst star and key players. Probably the 317 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: biggest storyline this offseason, Jack will be your boy Kyrie? 318 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: What will he do? The Nets sound like they're fed up. 319 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: They said they want someone who's ready to, you know, 320 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: to put basketball and the team ahead of themselves. We 321 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: all know when Kyrie is focused and locked in the game, 322 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: there's not five better players on the planet, Uh than 323 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: Kyra and than Kyrie. You've heard these rumored to the Knicks, Lakers, 324 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: and Clippers. Uh. What do you think will happen with 325 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving this offseason? You tell any grown man to 326 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: put the basketball before their health first, they should look 327 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: at you crazy me personally, Bro, if it's over there, 328 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: I would love to see him back with Braun. I mean, 329 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: I hope that happened. You know, they didn't. They didn't 330 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: made up publicly and privately, and Um Kyrid and came 331 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: out soon as the seam was over and said he 332 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't mind, you know, he wished you could fix some 333 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: things and and listen more to Lebron. So I think 334 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: that would be a good look for him. L ain't 335 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: got all them problems that New York had. It will 336 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: be a new start for him. And he got a 337 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: crib in l A. So it ain't like it don't 338 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: like he's not like he don't be out there anyway. 339 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: That's where he worked out there. So it is what 340 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: it is. Man. Uh, whatever team you go to, he's 341 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: gonna help him. And I'm gonna always you know, you know, 342 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm always rock with It'll be interesting to see if 343 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: he leaves. Uh the nets Um obviously player and powerman 344 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: were all for that. But what it took for them 345 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: to put that team together. He personally is the reason 346 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: why Kevin Durant went to Brooklyn. Uh, James was in 347 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: and out of there, got up out of there. Uh 348 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: you know it's but to me just the question is 349 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: and this is again not hating on nobody, because everyone 350 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: teams like when you say something you don't agree with 351 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: his hate. Is basketball going to be a priority to him, 352 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: because again, like I said, when he what it is, 353 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: he's incredible. But you've seen, you know, to his own 354 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: admittance in Cleveland, he was a little too immature to 355 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: handle the situation where bron goes to Boston, it doesn't 356 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: work there. Uh, goes to Brooklyn doesn't work here. Also 357 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: heard that he was throwing um practices after practice. Uh, 358 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: you know outside of Steve Nash. And you remember when 359 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: Steve Nash was you know what what it was the 360 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: coach when they announced it, you know, Kyrie came out 361 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: and said, like, you know, we coach ourselves. You know, 362 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: Katie can coach, I can coach so kinda and we 363 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: both know that respect in that locker room is what 364 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: you need. So that's why I don't know if going 365 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: back to the Nets um is a possibility because I 366 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: just don't think there's any respect for the head coach UM. 367 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: So Kyrie could be on the move. Imagine him coming 368 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: to the Lakers. I'm sure that trade would involve Russell Westbrook. 369 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: That means Russ would head back to the to the Net, 370 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: to the Nets to reunite with k d could be 371 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: really interesting man. And then again we talked about earlier 372 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: what he would do with uh Kauai and PG could 373 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: be scary as well. So uh, he'll definitely be the 374 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: first domino UH that will kick off. I'm sure what 375 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: is gonna be a crazy uh NBA free agency summer. 376 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson decides to walk away from being the Charlotte 377 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: Hornets um head coach. The numbers weren't specified, but I 378 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: heard it was a four year deal and uh, you know, 379 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: I think on average coaches again, in four years twenty million. 380 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: They could have possibly offered him more, but Jack, he 381 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: left twenty million on the table. Uh, you have an 382 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: emerging young superstar in UH ball Miles Bridges, a lot 383 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: of young key pieces thoughts on him turning down that 384 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: job and decided to stay in chair number one UH 385 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: in Golden State. I get it. I get it. I 386 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: stayd as number one CED a year too. I'll get 387 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, another option might come around, but for now, 388 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable being on this team to see in this 389 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: next run that we've been to go on. It could 390 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: be a two, it could be a three P two P, 391 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: that could be anything. But I think he wants to 392 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: sit there and experience that and after that's over, maybe 393 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: explore another job, because I'm pretty sure to come around again. Yeah, no, 394 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: I think I agree. I mean, I think obviously he 395 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: would have the keys in Charlotte, but building everything is 396 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: that that's gonna take a lot. And you know, it's 397 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: you know, there's a pecking order in the East. You know, 398 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: although the old is to make it, you know, there's 399 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: no real shot at winning the championship in the next 400 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: five years in Charlotte. You know, maybe he knows something 401 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: we don't. You know, maybe he know he ain't the 402 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: coach with Charlotte, Yeah, but he maybe he knows something 403 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: Golden State. You know, maybe you know Steve Is is 404 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: going to ride off on the sunset when Steph decided 405 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: to step down and he can either be next in 406 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: line or like you said, possibly get in line for 407 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: a better job than Charlotte. Uh So man turns down 408 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 1: twenty million to stay with the winning organization. To me, 409 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: it just says a lot about the organization, you know 410 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: what I mean? Golden State has built something built on principle, 411 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: starts at the top with ownership, and it trickles down. 412 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: And when I tell you, man, it's just beautiful to 413 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: be a part of. I definitely understand him turning this 414 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: move down. Well, since Atkins is turned down this job, 415 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: one of your favorite coaches to ever grace the floor. 416 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: Mike D'Antoni is supposed to be meeting with m J 417 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: about that vacancy. His offense could work there, But you 418 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: know one thing he doesn't do his has his team 419 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: played defense? Jack, what do you think about Mike D'Antoni 420 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: possibly being the head coach of Charlotte Hornets. That's how 421 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: you feel. It's so many young coaches of all races 422 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: that cycle that that that are not Dannfoni, that hasn't 423 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: won nowhere everywhere he's went. He the kids know how 424 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: to score. You need to understand how to play defense 425 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: and how to be on the same page on the 426 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: string on defense. Nobody needs Dannfoni. And Damnfoni as corny 427 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: as he is, as as disconnected from the culture as 428 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: he is, how could he coach Miles Bridges and and 429 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: and and and LaMelo ball is not gonna work, MJ. 430 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: There gotta be somebody around it to to get you in. 431 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: But like, bro, look at this and look at this 432 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: you can. You can look at that and tell that 433 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: don't go together. So please don't do that. Please don't 434 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: do that, Charlotte, because I'm trying to come to some 435 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: games this year and I don't want to see Dannfoni 436 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: over there the season though, man. And then I'm gonna 437 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: tell you what it's gonna do. LaMelo gonna go off 438 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: on him. Then you're gonna have problems with LaMelo because 439 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: he want to win. And then what's gonna be next. 440 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: Somebody gonna be asking for trude these guys for foreseeing 441 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: the future, I think, you know, email Udoka has showed 442 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: that we need to give. Why do we continue to 443 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: recycle coaches that haven't won anywhere? And all? Yeah, I 444 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: mean I'm I was a fan of Mike dun Tony's 445 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: offense when it first hit, but I think that ship 446 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: has kind of died out. Like you said, Jack, these 447 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: kids coming in the league now could score. That's what 448 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: they do. They score. They need someone who's gonna bring 449 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: the best out of them, who can be a leader 450 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: and who can help them, you know, strategize on the 451 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: defensive end, because you've seen, you know, the top two 452 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 1: defensive teams in the league played in the finals this year. 453 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: You know that's definitely not Mike D'Antoni. So I think, 454 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: you know, we've got to stop recycling coaches in the 455 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: league and giving some of these young up and coming 456 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: former players that have their ship together opportunities because we 457 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: continue to show left and right, um that they're worthy 458 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: of the opportunity. Moving on, Bradley Beal says he's healing 459 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: from his wrisk surgery, and we're also starting to hear 460 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of possible movement. Someone who has stayed 461 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: loyal similar to Dame Lillard stayed loyal to the soil 462 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: in d C. You know, but there's there are some 463 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: toxic he could possibly move. He can sign a super 464 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: max there if I'm not uh mistaken with the Wizards. 465 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: But jack Off Bradley Bill were to get up and 466 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: move cut ties to d C. Where could you see 467 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: him fitting in at everywhere? Anywhere? Right, It don't even matter, 468 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I think going to Portland 469 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: would be a good look for him, having him a 470 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: Dame together. They said him him going to UH labels 471 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: the possibility and him going somewhere else was a possible. 472 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: But it don't matter. Man, anybody that can get a 473 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: guy like Bradley. Bill is getting the all star, top 474 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: player in the league that's gonna come in and put 475 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: up numbers and compete on both ends of the ball. 476 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: So it's win win with him. I think him going 477 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: to Miami would be big because Jimmie Butler could just 478 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: kind of fall back into I don't have to score 479 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: be the leading score, but I can score if I 480 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: need to. And then also imagine, you know, James Harden 481 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: is is it one of the best playmakers in the 482 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: game still even though he's not scoring. So imagine Bill 483 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: Harden and then beat in Philly. Uh uh would be 484 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: real scary. So happy for this dude, man, I hope 485 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: he decides to you know, you only have one career. 486 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: And I know he's a good kid and and wants 487 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: to stay loyal, but you know, if he wants to win, 488 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: it's not going to be in DC. Remember that game 489 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: in Philly, Well, Bill had fifty and Bey had like 490 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: forty six something like that. That was crazy. Nobody understands. 491 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: But like you said, Bill's canna help anybody. Jack.

Thoughts on those guys. You got 497 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 1: to see a couple of them, uh in the Alice 498 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: iverson Classic, Yeah, I can. I'm good friends with Markets 499 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: Daniels Jabari Smith from coming from Arburn. Marquis telling me 500 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: this kid is ready athlete. Good kid can do a 501 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: lot of things on the court. So I'm not surprised 502 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: see number one, you know, taking Market's advice, Chet and Apollo, 503 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: Um Man, these kids gonna be great. Chet is long. 504 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: He hungry, though, Bro, he really wants to learn the 505 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: game of basketball and be the best best he can be. 506 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 1: I saw him at the fight, the Charlo Fight in 507 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: l A and Polo, Man he has he has an 508 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: NBA body already, you know, and he has the confidence 509 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: as well. Um he wants to be great also, man. 510 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: So both both of those kids gonna be great in 511 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: the league. The draft is gonna be exciting. One person 512 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: that I processed you don't want to touch on again 513 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: is Jade Nivy. There's a lot of John Morant comparisons 514 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: and Sacramento as we stand now, excuse me, as they 515 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: stand now, we're sitting in that fourth position. Obviously they've 516 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: chosen Dear and Foxes as as the you know, the 517 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: the driver of their team by trading Haliburton last year. 518 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I say this to say I say 519 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: that to say, you know they missed on Luca a 520 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: few years ago. Drafting market, Marvin Bagley, I really hope 521 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: that Sacramento is not going to look back two or 522 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: three years from now and seeing Jay Nivey terrorized the NBA, like, damn, 523 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: we could have got Ja Nivy. So we passed on 524 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Luca and j Nivey. So Sacramento sitting in that tough 525 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: for position again because they have a point guard. But 526 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: you want to pick with the best talent that's left 527 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: on the board, and if the draft goes to the state, 528 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: he's the next best talent, could be even higher up. 529 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: But you know those three you mentioned before really good. 530 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see what Sacramento does um 531 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: with that fourth pick if they end up trading it 532 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: away anybody else in the in the draft, Jack that 533 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: uh intrigues you or you're happy for? Yeah, man, it's 534 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: it's a care from my hometown. Put off the Texas 535 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: that went to Louisiana Louisiana Tech. He's been um making 536 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: a lot of noise and all the NBA Caps Kennon 537 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: Lofton Jr. Big man left. He can real agile on 538 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: his feet, can score, can shoot and do it all. 539 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: And he had a great year in college. So they 540 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: got him prospect to go twenty five to the Spurs. 541 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: But the kid is steady having having a good summer. 542 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: Something happy for him, and I definitely want to see 543 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: him in the league because he'll be the second from 544 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: Port Author. That's dope, is that Kenny Lofton, son of 545 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: the baseball player through the third third part? No, um no, 546 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: that's not that's not the same. That's not about to 547 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: say like, how the funk is your dad so small 548 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 1: and he got so big? Yeah, now that his dad 549 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: o g from Port Arth to take us.
