1
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Now, I know I'm gonna lose some golf points for

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: saying this, but I'm not particularly good at carving.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: Jack O Lanterns.

4
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:22,599

00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: Tassy back from camping from the week. We got the

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 3: Bearded one, Trey Kirby hel Hey, We've got the international

Speaker 3: man of mystery taking it to the max Leyellis friend, last,

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: but not least, making the magic happen.

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 4: JD.

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 3: Hello, there he is here. We are all five of

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: us back together, at least virtually. Trey, how was camping?

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: Were their bass in those lakes that you were at?

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 5: The camping was great, the nature was great, vacation was great,

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 5: the family was great.

17
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: Fishing was tough, Skeets.

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 5: You know all the local rednecks report that there's bass

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 5: in that lake, but it is tough to catch him.

20
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 5: The guy in the stump blaster truck with the Alabama

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 5: flags told me, my daddy's been out here for three days.

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 2: He ain't cut no, and it was the same for me.

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 5: I had a big top water explosion on the whopper plopper.

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 5: But that's it. That's one of the worries when you're

25
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 5: fishing top water skeets. You're gonna miss more fish than

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 5: you hit. Just short striked me. But hey, it's all

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 5: about the nature out there. It's about the journey. It's

28
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 5: not all about the lips. Sometimes that's what you say

29
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 5: when you're a fisherman. You don't catch anything, it's all

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 5: about it's all something else's fault. You know, the weather

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 5: was wrong, or maybe the location was wrong. I was

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: a little too overcast, maybe my colors were off. I'm

33
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 5: not used to the clear water. Whatever it was, there

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 5: were bass in there. I didn't get them, are you.

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: Telling them not? No?

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 5: No, lips were ripped, zero lips, zero lips, zero ellips.

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 5: But you know, a giant lake, what are you gonna do.

38
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 5: We saw some bald eagles. It was awesome. We saw

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 5: a whole bunch of carp jumping. Couldn't get them. But

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: we were doing our best out there, and we honestly

41
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 5: just had an incredible time. But yeah, I've been scouting

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 5: other lakes in the region you know, we were about

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 5: four hours away in Tennessee Center Hill Lake.

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: No luck. But we're driving back.

45
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 5: I see Chickamauga Lake where the guys from Tactical bassin

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 5: just relocated. We're talking Matt Allen and Tim little Are.

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 5: They're ripping lips themselves. I gotta get out with those guys.

48
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 5: They know what they're doing.

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: This guy is so into fishing, it's unbelievable. Okay, I'm

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: sad to hear you didn't anything any lips, but that's okay.

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 3: It looked from your photos or the videos I saw. Yeah,

52
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: the camping itself or the nature looked pretty incredible. So

53
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: I'm glad you had a great week off. Yes, this

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: week's no dunk schedule. Just before we get into it here,

Speaker 3: for another podcast later in the week. If we can

Speaker 6: Oh?

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: Put it at three fifty so we'll see, we'll see.

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: It's not locked in yet, but we got squad for sure.

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: We got to pop in packs. Maybe this other special one.

81
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: But today let's get right into the updown Report. Yeah,

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: the updown Report. We got a lot to talk about

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: here suddenly and once again and this one, who jd

84
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: they want to just walk away from this little news here.

85
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear your take later on. But on Friday,

86
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: Shams and other reporters. They said that the league's Board

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: of Governors is pursuing a December twenty second start for

88
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: next season, yes pre Christmas, like ten weeks from now.

89
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 3: Among other changes being discussed right now are a seventy

90
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: two game regular season, not waiting for fans to be

91
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: permitted into the arenas, as well as tournaments and play

92
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: in scenarios. It's it's sort of all being discussed. The

93
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: players Association will have to agree on that. They're not

94
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: gonna have a lot of time. This is going to

95
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 3: have to come together pretty quickly here. But task get

96
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: us started up or down on an idea of a

97
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: seventy two game season starting December twenty second, twenty twenty.

98
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: What do you think I'm going up on it.

99
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 6: I think it's what's best for the league, and I

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 6: think we want what's best for the league because originally

101
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 6: the idea to push it later into January, February or

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 6: March was getting fans into the stands, and it's becoming

103
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 6: very clear in the US a couple of months isn't

104
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 6: going to change that. I don't think the NBA ethically

105
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 6: can decide that, and they're just they're just deciding to

106
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 6: be proactive here. They just can't wait and wait and

107
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 6: wait to see if that turns round. It's not going

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 6: to turn around in the US anytime soon, so earlier

109
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 6: means a lot of good things. They own Christmas Day,

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 6: which would be, you know, the second third day of

111
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 6: the schedule, whatever it is. They capitalized by going a

112
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 6: day before too, because you know everybody's tuning in for

113
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 6: Opening Night. Let's not do just Christmas Day is Opening Night.

114
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 6: Let's go before. Get both those double up. So that's smart,

115
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 6: and you match the old NBA calendar. They're going to

116
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 6: basically rush the end of the regular season to be

117
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 6: in April, so all those same days that we used

118
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 6: to know December, January, February, March, April, all the games

119
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 6: played in there, and then the end of the finals in June.

120
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 6: Probably no All Star game because again, that's not an

121
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 6: ethically good idea to bring guys. Fly them in, fly

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 6: him out. You avoid playing in the summer months in

123
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 6: July and August. We see it doesn't work for the

124
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 6: NBA ratings. Go proof and you get closer to a

125
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 6: regular twenty one twenty two than the following season. If

126
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 6: you can end in June, like the plan is and

127
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 6: they're cutting ten games. I think we should all be

128
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 6: pumped about that. I know everybody in the media is

129
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 6: a little wamp womp. We don't get our off season,

130
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 6: but there's bigger things to worry about, and you cut

131
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 6: ten games, which we've all been asking for. So I

132
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 6: think it works out. They've learned from other sports and

133
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 6: how to control the virus in a format that's a

134
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 6: non bubble format. I'm going thumbs up. I know people

135
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 6: are worried I don't get my couple months off, but

136
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 6: that's the way she rolls. I think it is best

137
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 6: for the league to try and match up the old skid.

138
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought that at first. I'll be honest, I

139
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this sucks. Like we've done three hundred

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: and fifty shows. We're gonna like roll right into another

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: season here. At first I would I did think that,

142
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: and I did the womp womp, But then I was like,

143
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: hold on, I'm going anywhere anyway, and I think I'd

144
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: rather have my summers off, so let's get back on

145
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: track as much as possible get this season going. I'm

146
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: with you task. They've definitely are turning to you know,

147
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: the experts to science and saying, no, you're not going

148
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: to be having fans in your arenas. You know, maybe

149
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: in March probably, So why don't you just get started earlier? Yeah,

150
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: and then we get back to more of a normal schedule,

151
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: hopefully whatever normal means in this world. And then yeah,

152
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: we got the summers off again. So I've come around

153
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: on this a little bit. But what do you think, Lee?

154
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: You a thumbs up or thumbs down on this proposal?

155
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 5: Here?

156
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: Definitely thumbs up.

157
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: I mean, the better we get basketball back, the sooner

158
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: we get it back, the better for everyone. I mean,

159
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: I know that it's not the traditional break that teams have,

160
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: but I mean, how long did these professional athletes really

161
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: need to take off anyway? I mean this is ended

162
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: for two teams only a couple of weeks ago, so

163
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: they got two months to get ready. I know, you know,

164
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: you need to prepare and need to integrate everyone. There's

165
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: going to be free agency and draft and all that,

166
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: but really, you're playing basketball. So I think everyone should

167
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: be able to get themselves ready to go by mid

168
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: to late December there. And I think I'm excited for

169
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: it because otherwise we're facing the prospect of waiting another

170
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: three months after that to get basketball started, and no

171
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: one wants to wait that long really, so and really,

172
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: ultimately what it comes down to is what you guys

173
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: are kind of saying there.

174
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: The owners and.

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: The league clearly wanted to get fans back in the stadium.

176
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: That's not happening. So then it's like, well, let's start

177
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: getting paid whatever we can get paid, get those games

178
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: on TV as quickly as possible.

179
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 4: And I think December makes sense.

180
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, yeah, Christmas Day is always

181
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: a big day on the NBA calendar. Get a couple

182
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: of games going first, have a big Christmas Day, and

183
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: then get into the season.

184
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: So you know, I.

185
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Still think the NBA I would trim at a few

186
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: games more. I would take a few games off and

187
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: make it a little bit so then you don't have

188
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: to squeeze quite so many games in. I think there's

189
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: a room for experiment there, but seven is probably going

190
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: to be what they're going to agree on based on

191
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: the reporting. I mean, these things tend to be fairly accurate,

192
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: so they might be a little bit of trimming around

193
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: the edges there. But I would have tightened it up

194
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more and had a few less games,

195
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: so that then you aren't you know. Again, the less traveling,

196
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: the fewer interactions, I think reduce the risk even more.

197
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: But we'll see what the final equation is here from

198
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: the NBA, but overall a thumbs up, very excited looking

199
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: forward to it.

200
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: Again, the players Association do have to agree to this,

201
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: so maybe this is just sort of some sort of

202
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: negotiating right now, but I think it's going to happen because,

203
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: you know, Shams wrote, the League office told the Board

204
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: of Governors that the projected value for teams and players

205
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: with a December twenty second start versus a later start,

206
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: you know, in the twenty twenty one year, is a

207
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 3: five hundred million dollar difference. Money talks usually trey, So

208
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: I actually think this might happen now here. What's your

209
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: take up or down?

210
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the equation for you skeets.

211
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 5: If you start the season earlier in December, you get

212
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 5: plus five hundred million dollars. So that seems like it's

213
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: going to be a thumbs up from the league. Sham's

214
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 5: also mentioned in his reporting it's been important for teams

215
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 5: and players to get back on a normal schedule, which

216
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 5: allows the players to also receive their summers. Everybody wants

217
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 5: to have something less to do in the summers. Everybody

218
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: wants to Some people want to go out and rip lipts,

219
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 5: some people want to get better at basketball. The fact

220
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: of the matter is, it doesn't seem like we're gonna

221
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 5: be able to be in stands even as early as March,

222
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: so you might as well get that money. And we

223
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 5: have to give the league the benefit of the doubt.

224
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: With regards to safety. The bubble worked. We learned a lot,

225
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: excuse me, from the bubble from a safety standpoint, also

226
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 5: from a game standpoint, also from a presentation standpoint. So

227
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 5: now they if they're able to settle on a date

228
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 5: in late December, you still got a couple of months

229
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 5: to figure out how you're gonna make the games look good.

230
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: Because they looked good down in Orlando. But things are

231
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 5: gonna be different when you're playing in a real stadium

232
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 5: that's been there for fifty years and now it's completely empty.

233
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: But if you got two months.

234
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: You can figure out ways to retrofit things with giant

235
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: video boards or whatever the teams are going to be

236
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: side to do to make it look like basketball again.

237
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 5: So it just makes sense from a dollars and cents

238
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 5: standpoint and from a safety standpoint, since it doesn't feel

239
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 5: like three months is gonna make that big of a

240
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 5: difference in the grand scheme of things. So yeah, we're

241
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 5: gonna be seeing basketball again soon. And it's pretty crazy.

242
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: I was driving to Tennessee listening to some classic No

243
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 5: Dunks podcasts, and I heard Skeet say, why are we

244
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: even calling this the twenty twenty one season. Yeah, we're

245
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 5: not gonna be starting in twenty twenty. Just call it

246
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one season. It's easy for everybody. Next thing,

247
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 5: you know, we're starting in December.

248
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I know it's gonna be like eight

249
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: or nine days. I for how many days or in December.

250
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to have it the twenty twenty twenty

251
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: one season. It will stay true to that. We talked

252
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 3: about safety though a test. I think you slipped it

253
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: in there. The league maybe has looked at some of

254
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 3: these other you know sports, NFL, MLB, and have learned

255
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: a thing about Hey, you don't have Well, they're not

256
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 3: doing the bubble. Maybe they shouldn't be, but they can

257
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: learn some things because it's not going all that, well,

258
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong. In some of these other leagues,

259
00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: and NFL specifically have had you know, outbreaks, games postponed

260
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: and maybe missed and stuff like that. And that is

261
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: a sport that they're only playing once a week, so

262
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 3: it's easier to make those sort of up if you

263
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: have to, and stuff like are you I mean, I

264
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: guess we're giving the benefit of the doubts of the

265
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 3: league because they did such a good job of the bubble.

266
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 3: But this is a different beast, right, this idea of

267
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 3: like we're playing in all these arenas and yeah, movement

268
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: change the schedule to make it more like you go

269
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: to New York and you play the Knicks and then

270
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 3: you play the Nets and then okay, you don't have

271
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: to come back. But still you're putting a lot of

272
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: faith in all of these players and all the staffs

273
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 3: to not screw up, to not go out to the club,

274
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: to not go somewhere they shouldn't. I mean, they're just

275
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: not stealed in a bubble. It's not gonna be foolproof, right,

276
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 3: I think that's got to be a bit of a

277
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 3: concern here.

278
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you put it up against what they just

279
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 6: did in the bubble, sure, but they also have yeah,

280
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 6: those other leaks to go off of it, and it

281
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 6: sure seems like they're not going to play the other

282
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 6: conference at all. So your Eastern Conference teams, it sure

283
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 6: looks like aren't going to play the Western Conference teams

284
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 6: because it makes it easier to reschedule. If you do

285
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 6: have a little bit of a boo boo and something

286
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 6: happens where you have to cancel a game, it's easier

287
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 6: to go get a quick game in if you're the

288
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 6: Brooklyn Nets, probably in Philadelphia or some more close, rather

289
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 6: than have to fly over La later on in the schedule.

290
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 6: If you can just shove it in on a March day,

291
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 6: it makes it better, it looks or makes it easier,

292
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 6: I should say, it looks like that's going to happen.

293
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 6: They're learning, and yeah, it's not as easy as as

294
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 6: a bubble. Maybe there'll be a bubble for the finals

295
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 6: perhaps something like that, or maybe we'll even have fans

296
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 6: later on in the season. I think that's not something

297
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 6: they are, you know, canceling right now. But there's a

298
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 6: reason that it's also seventy two games because that satisfies

299
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 6: all the TV providers. Because that gets to a number

300
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 6: where that's the same thing going into the bubble. Why

301
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 6: they got all those seating games, it's because they needed

302
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 6: teams to get to the seventy two game mark approximately

303
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 6: to make all that money. So it's a lot, there's

304
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 6: a lot of factors, and yeah, there could definitely be

305
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 6: a positive test here there. But it sure looks like

306
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 6: the Lakers aren't going to be playing the New York

307
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 6: Knicks this season, and the reason is because it makes

308
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 6: it easier to shove it in there if somebody does

309
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 6: have contracts the virus and that game has to be canceled, Blake,

310
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 6: there has been in baseball in the NFL. That's just

311
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 6: the way it is right now.

312
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fascinating. Though you don't think like the Eastern

313
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: Conference teams will be playing the Western Conference teams.

314
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 6: At all, according to John versus your own conference, right, yeah,

315
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 6: it looks like you're playing if you're if you're in

316
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 6: your own division, you're playing each team eight times. That

317
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 6: sure looks like and then the rest of the conference

318
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 6: four times, So a lot of that and it reduces

319
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 6: the travel, right So, uh, in New York and New

320
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 6: York the next will play the sixers. If they're on

321
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 6: the road, you have a little two game series. Come over,

322
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 6: have a little two game series. It's gonna be a

323
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 6: lot of that.

324
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: But you look at things like the Grizzlies, who are

325
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: are basically an Eastern Conference location, but they'll be playing

326
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference, so they'll be traveling, you know.

327
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: And then they look at like homea city as well,

328
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: like they close, like there's so many teams in that

329
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: sort of central line that just happened to be in

330
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: the Western Conference. So you know, the traveling one, like

331
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: teams teams are still going to have to travel long

332
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: distances to play in their own conference, certainly from the

333
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: Western Conference anyway, so they're going to be on the

334
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: road for long periods of time. So but it's a

335
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: bit weird. I mean, I know this is probably not

336
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: the time talking about, but I've said, like, just scrap

337
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: conferences and divisions. Just play each other, Like I sort

338
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: of said it on two of the other they play

339
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: everyone once home and once away, fifty eight games. I

340
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: think that's the best way to balance the schedule. And

341
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: then you get the top sixteen teams based on exactly

342
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: how many you've all played the same schedule. Now, I

343
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: know that doesn't fit the seventy two game requirement for

344
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: TV rights, but I think that's the best way to

345
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: balance the schedule out and get a fair indication of

346
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: who deserves to be in the playoffs. But I know

347
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen because that's cutting back an

348
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: enormous amount of games, which is revenue, and that's not

349
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: what the owners all the players want, so it won't happen.

350
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: But in theory, I think that would be the best

351
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: way to approach it.

352
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is going to be wild. I mean we are.

353
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: I mean, the draft is obviously still scheduled for November eighteenth.

354
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: We don't still know free agency, is we You know,

355
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: Hollinger is guessing it's basically a week after, you know,

356
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: because some people thought it'd be early December. That feels

357
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 3: like it's got to be pushed up a little bit.

358
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: Then are there training camps or they? I mean, like

359
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 3: when are those kids one league? Yeah? Right, fall ball

360
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 3: is done, but like it's gonna just happen so quickly here,

361
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 3: and you wonder what type of effect that could have

362
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: on teams and their ability or maybe not to build

363
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: rosters right to switch things up by trades or stuff

364
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: like that. Like, I just wonder if that has any

365
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: sort of trickle down effect on Like, well, well there's

366
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: a little sort of too much going on here. Well

367
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 3: let's just stam pat. This is gonna be a weird

368
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 3: season as it is again, so let's just not do

369
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: anything drastic. Maybe not, maybe it'll be the opposite, Maybe

370
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: it'll be just like craziness happening. But one thing I

371
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 3: said there in the intro play in scenario still in

372
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: play right, we saw that of course in the bubble.

373
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 3: You know, if you're a certain distance behind the eight seed,

374
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: well then you trigger this sort of the Mega Bowl

375
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: as we called it, and if you were the ninth seed,

376
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: you had to beat them and stuff like that. As

377
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: we saw Trey. You liked that idea of them continuing

378
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 3: to keep that or would you change it at all?

379
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 3: What's your take on that whole thing?

380
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it.

381
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: The play in tournament was super fun and watching the

382
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: Blazers claw their way back, watching the Grizzlies collapse a

383
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 5: little bit, it was fun and I guess probably not

384
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 5: if you're a Grizzlies fan, but it was exciting for

385
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 5: the other twenty nine fan bases to be watching, So yeah,

386
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 5: it makes sense to run it back sort of with

387
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: a play in tournament. I don't know if you want

388
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 5: to keep it. I think it was four games out

389
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 5: of the eighth seed was the cutoff for this, but

390
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 5: that was just kind of a circumstantial thing with where

391
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 5: the teams were prior to the shutdown and everything.

392
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: So maybe a change it to.

393
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: You got to be within one game of the eighth

394
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 5: seed to get into the Mega Bowl tournament. There's got

395
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 5: to be a little bit of tinkering with the exact

396
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 5: specifications of it. But it was very exciting, and you know,

397
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 5: for a game that ultimately meant nothing. You know, the

398
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 5: Blazers ended up getting smoked by the Lakers in the

399
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 5: playoffs that game, though it was awesome that it was

400
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 5: totally worth it and that kind of thing. We'll drive

401
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: ratings and that's another way another branded thing that you

402
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 5: could sell and get a little bit of that revenue

403
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 5: back as well. There learned a lot of a lot

404
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 5: of things from the bubble, and I think that the

405
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: play in tournament certainly was one that worked.

406
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, bring it back.

407
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you, task you agree, would you expand

408
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: it maybe even would you include the seventh seed, you know,

409
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 3: like if you're particular games close enough to them that

410
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: it is more of a tournament or do you like

411
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: the way it was? What do you think like people

412
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 3: say like seven, seven to ten, you know, the seeds

413
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: seven to ten could be playing in some sort of

414
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 3: tournament if they're close enough.

415
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 6: Again, that's the that's the traditional format that people wanted, right,

416
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 6: This is yeah, my correct, seven.

417
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: I think so. I remember that was one of the

418
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 3: first ones I felt.

419
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, yeah, I mean last year, as Trey alluded to,

420
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 6: or last year when was a few months ago when

421
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 6: they when they when they brought in the Suns who

422
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 6: went eight. No, it worked all it worked out well,

423
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 6: and they brought in the Wizards. Yeah that was just

424
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 6: this year. This is the way things are, and we're

425
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 6: trying to be fair. So going on it was a

426
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 6: successful right of course, of course Trey talked about, Yeah,

427
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 6: so why would you do it again?

428
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

429
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, just I'm just mean, like, as far as

430
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 6: the nitty gritty, are you going to bring in the

431
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 6: Wizards wo or five and a half years or the

432
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 6: eleven seed or twelve seat they brought in twelve teams

433
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 6: in the Western Conferences at thirteen run thirteen.

434
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 4: I think we're thirteen and nine from the East.

435
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so they're not going to break thirteen teams.

436
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 6: That would be nuts.

437
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: Wow was it thirteen? The kids were the Kings weren't

438
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 3: The Kings were there? You're right, and the Warriors signs

439
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 3: were the worst. Yeah, you know, you're right, You're right,

440
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: You're right, s Lee. What do you think I assume

441
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: your thumbs up on this idea?

442
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I think it worked so well and

443
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: the NBA experimented. They took the opportunity to do it

444
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: down there, and it was successful. Now, not every single

445
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: playing game is going to be as exciting probably as

446
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: it was that time. But I think these are the

447
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: sorts of things you've got to try now and see

448
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: if they do connect with fans, because I think it

449
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: does also keep that race alive at the bottom. And now,

450
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: ultimately the Blazers, you know they yeah, they won one

451
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: game off the Lakers and they lost, but we were

452
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: still excited to see them make that chase and it

453
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: came down literally to the last game. Remember, Phoenix were

454
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: hoping that the would lose to the Nets because then

455
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: the Suns would have gotten in. So it really like

456
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: there was so much excitement in those last few games

457
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: that led into it, and that's really what the NBA needs.

458
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: That's one of the biggest problems the NBA has is

459
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: teams that are basically tanking when half the season is

460
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: still going on. You need to keep as many teams

461
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: hopeful of making the playoffs as possible, and I think

462
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: the playing tournament does that, so yes, I would probably

463
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: expand it a little bit too myself.

464
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 5: I wouldn't it be less exciting even in this bubble

465
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 5: scenario if the Suns were guaranteed to make it, if

466
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 5: they were one of the seven through ten, it wouldn't

467
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: have been as exciting seeing them go undefeated. They would

468
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 5: have been in there already, they wouldn't have even had

469
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 5: to try that last game. That's why, to me, we

470
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 5: don't need twenty playoff teams. That's way too many. Eighteen

471
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 5: is too many, sixteen is too many, but at least

472
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 5: eighteen is less than twenty. Personally, I would keep it

473
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 5: to the eight and nine. You don't need to go

474
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: super deep. You're gonna be asking teams from the Eastern

475
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 5: Conference who have thirty and thirty one wins to come

476
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 5: in and try and win a couple of games in

477
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 5: a play in tournament, maybe it would be exciting, but

478
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 5: I don't know, that just seems a little bit too

479
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 5: much of a good thing.

480
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's a good point. I just

481
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: my point is you want to try to keep as

482
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: many teams competing for wins at the end of the season,

483
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: which is a problem, you know, because and I know

484
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 1: that the draft isn't the same as it was and

485
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: in terms of your lottery odds of getting the number

486
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: one pick, but there is a problem I think still

487
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: that exists within the NBA, where you know, a lot

488
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: of teams just basically mail it in, you know, early

489
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: into the season. Why when they're looking ahead to the lottery,

490
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: and I don't I think you want to try to

491
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: avoid that as best you can. There's probably no perfect system.

492
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: But the flattening of the lottery odds was a good start.

493
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: It's a good start, yeah, yeah, and so and I

494
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: think they will keep tinkering with it as well. I

495
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: think I think Adam Silver has shown that he wants

496
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: to try to improve it. And again he always references

497
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: the soccer leagues in Europe and one of the things

498
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: they'd have is the relegation battle, which keeps all those

499
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: teams battling for life right up until the last day

500
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: of the season. Now it's not quite the same in

501
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: the NBA, but that's what he's trying to achieve, I think,

502
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: and I think keep trying to work on it.

503
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 3: And I remember Trey saying this at the time of

504
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: the bubble, let's not forget. Maybe a big reason why

505
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: it was so why it was so exciting, or all

506
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: the games felt exciting, is because we told the eight

507
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: crappy teams to stay the home, know what I mean.

508
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: That's let's not forget, like those teams will still be around,

509
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 3: and there's weird regional bubbles. Whatever the heck we're doing here,

510
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: so you know it's it's gonna be a little bit different.

511
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 3: I was asked this question before we move on here, Tasks.

512
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: I want to throw it at you on the Dishes

513
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 3: and Dimes podcasts last night. I hadn't thought about it.

514
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: What it is you said it We're not probably gonna

515
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: have an all star game like that seems weird to do.

516
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 3: To bring everybody from all over the country into one spot.

517
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 3: Seems like a possible spreading event, super spreading event. So

518
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: do we still name all stars if there's no All

519
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: Star game? Will they still do the whole like, here's

520
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: who makes the All Star game, this, here's the voting

521
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: and all that. What do you think?

522
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 6: One, Yes, it matters, those those all star little little

523
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 6: mark sung the basketball reference page, just to have that

524
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 6: little icon up there. Yeah, it matters, and it matters

525
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 6: more than the actual game itself. Right, Oh yeah, right,

526
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 6: so I think so. I think you go through the.

527
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: It's the acolyte, it's the recognition, and it's also sometimes

528
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: closes in contracts. So I absolutely think they will name

529
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: it and I just yeah, there's no point in playing

530
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: the game.

531
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: So it's also content, which ye yeah, it's obviously gonna

532
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: want you want to hear us debating and every other

533
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: show debating about who's an old star? Who is in?

534
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah I was my answer last night too.

535
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 6: Test was like, yeah, they can still create the jerseys too.

536
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: Sure, tell them as well do the whole draft do it?

537
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, and then play the game like through the

538
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: E League or something like that.

539
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: There are options they could do.

540
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe you could virtual reality into it,

541
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 5: who knows, what it is, they'll at least name them.

542
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 5: You got to get the patches.

543
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so we're all on board with that. And

544
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 3: then I guess there is some talk too, right, Maybe

545
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 3: it was Windhorse saying there's a potential that they just

546
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 3: give them two weeks off in the middle of this

547
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: weird season, like just to for the players to rest. Okay,

548
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 3: you know, I mean it's potentially a good thing. Like

549
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 3: that's the other part here. We don't know how jammed

550
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 3: in like this seventy two game suits will really be.

551
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: Like you would assume the league is going to try

552
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: and avoid what was happening obviously back in you know,

553
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 3: twenty eleven when it was back to back to backs

554
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, only doesn't want anything to do

555
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: with that anymore. But how much will players load manage

556
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: at which they do already, Will that even be more

557
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 3: or will they be able to make this schedule not

558
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: that bad because like you guys are saying, there's not

559
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 3: as much travel, there's not as much competing events in

560
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 3: some of these arenas. You know, there's you know, in theory,

561
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: there's not a there's not a Rihanna concert going on

562
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: in the you know, the same arena, so it just

563
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: might be easier who knows. Who knows, But looks like

564
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: we're getting basketball back pre Christmas, which is wild.

565
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: I know.

566
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 5: I almost feel bad for team, like a team like

567
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 5: the Lakers, who you assume will be playing on Christmas.

568
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 5: They just spent however long in the bubble away from

569
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 5: their families. Now they finally get back home, they have

570
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 5: to start playing basketball right away and they're Christmas.

571
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: That sucks.

572
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would suck. And you wonder if that's what

573
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: the Players Association will push back on, like this is.

574
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: We want to open presents with our families.

575
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I mean, we just went to Orlando for

576
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 3: three months, for crying out loud, four months whatever it

577
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 3: was like, at least give us until the new year

578
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: to start it back up. But you know, then they say, well, okay.

579
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 2: By Christmas presents.

580
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly.

581
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 7: I know.

582
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 6: I know it's tough for the Lakers. I know it's

583
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 6: tough Christmas Day, but it's worse for the Toronto Raptors,

584
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 6: who won't be playing in Toronto most likely it'll be

585
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 6: playing all four months in the US most likely because

586
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 6: they won't be playing backing for it. Yeah, obviously, just

587
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 6: like the Toronto Blue Jays did. What is it that's

588
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 6: what's going to happen.

589
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 3: It's not one hundred percent yet. I guess there's changing

590
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: some testing protocols at airports and stuff like that. I mean,

591
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 3: is it I'm with you. I mean, it's definitely in play.

592
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: They could be playing in Buffalo or Kansas City or

593
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: wherever they pick. Maybe they put them in New York

594
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: and it's easier there or something like that. But I

595
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: guess there's still a possibility that the Canadian government, in

596
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 3: working with them, can allow it somehow where it's still

597
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 3: safe for these teams flying on their private planes anyway

598
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: and just go to the go to the arena and

599
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: play and then leave. I mean, I guess it's possible.

600
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: But you're right, Desk, it could be playing in some

601
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 3: weird city in America. It sounds like it's not gonna

602
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: be Louisville because they're saying we're not going there, but

603
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: it could be somewhere else, like you said, Buffalo or something.

604
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see.

605
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 6: It'll be great.

606
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: Who does this benefit if they start early or late December?

607
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: I guess does it benefit teams like that were just

608
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: playing like the Lakers are Heat or does that suck

609
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: because they were just playing, so in theory they're tired.

610
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: Like some of these teams haven't played in forever since.

611
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: Like it'll nearly nine months in between actual NBA games.

612
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: I guess it would favor the teams that have most

613
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: recently played because they've had gameplay and you know, you

614
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: can practice all you want, but nothing replicates what it's

615
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: like to be out on the court. So I think, yeah,

616
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: I think the teams that, you know, not necessarily just

617
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Heat that went to the finals,

618
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: all those other teams. It just got reps in and

619
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: and you know, I got familiar with the applies a

620
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, I would say I would benefit then.

621
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: And before we move on from this, JD, what do

622
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 3: you think pre Christmas start big thing? Thumbs up?

623
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, well at first, I was like, well, this definitely

624
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 8: tracks for twenty twenty, you know, I mean just it's

625
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 8: a it's a game of stamina, you know, like, and

626
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 8: I think that's as you say, that's who's going to

627
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 8: it's going to benefit and uh, you know, we all

628
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 8: have our ways of coping with with grueling schedule, and

629
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 8: I've I'm still I'm I've got this.

630
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 3: Oh, for those listening, JD just took a nice swing

631
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: of some I believe it was Johnny Walker Black there.

632
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 8: If Johnny Walker Black went down a little too easy in.

633
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: The morning, Bro, we'll survive, JD. We'll survive.

634
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 8: It's fine. I'm never You're never gonna hear me complain

635
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 8: about working, not in this uh not in this environment. No,

636
00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 8: I'm happy to work.

637
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 3: This isn't really working right, Let's be honest, for us,

638
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 3: feel feel bad for the people that actually got to work.

639
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's keep moving unless there's anything else to

640
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 3: add to this. Guys, Now, let's go to the next one.

641
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 3: If the Celtics look too deal Gordon Hayward this offseason,

642
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 3: they have at least one potential trade partner. According to

643
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 3: s and ys Ian Begley, Hayward's hometown Indiana Pacers are

644
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 3: potentially interested in him. Now, we're, of course, waiting to

645
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 3: see if Gordo picks up his thirty two point four

646
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 3: million dollar player option he has with Boston. He's expected

647
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: to opt in. He's a thirty year old forward with

648
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: injury concerns. You're probably not going to pass up the

649
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: thirty four million dollar payday. But hey, maybe you want

650
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: to sign a long term deal. Who knows, but up

651
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: or down on the Pacers trying to trade for Gordon Hayward.

652
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: Trade get us started from.

653
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 5: The Jazz to the Celtics to the Pacers. Sounds about white.

654
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 5: I'm up on this joking. It feels like the Pacers

655
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 5: are a little bit in flux. This whatever we're calling

656
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 5: this offseason. You want to say summer, it ain't the summer,

657
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 5: but they're certainly in flux. You know, they hired one

658
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 5: Nate out. One Nate in Skeets pronounced this name for me,

659
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 5: York grin.

660
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty good that I'm saying it.

661
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 5: Yep, Yeah, I heard you say it on one and

662
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 5: a half speed, so I wasn't sure if I totally

663
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 5: nailed it. But they got a new Nate in town.

664
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 5: Victor Oladipo allegedly wants out. He might be looking for

665
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 5: a trade. They might actually trade him, so certainly there

666
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 5: is some alure bringing home a hometown guy in Gordon Hayward,

667
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 5: who played basketball there during his high school career, during

668
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 5: his college career, and you know, now he could obviously

669
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 5: continue his pro career there as well. And I think

670
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 5: he actually fits a little bit as a piece if

671
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 5: you assume that Victor Oladipo is no longer a pacer.

672
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 5: Along with Malcolm Brogden, de Monte Sabonis, those are all

673
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: guys who can kind of play with the ball, play

674
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 5: without the ball, make good decisions, make plays and score

675
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 5: on their own. He would have a bigger role, I think,

676
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 5: on the Pacers than he would on the Celtics, but

677
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 5: still lesser than he did on Utah, which is probably

678
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 5: exactly where Gordon Hayward needs to be right now. He's

679
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 5: not necessarily a number one or number two guy, but

680
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 5: he can definitely help as a secondary tertiary creator in

681
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 5: that sort of realm. But yeah, I mean it seems

682
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 5: a little bit like a marketing ploy. It definitely feels

683
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 5: like anytime Gordon Hayward is going to be available, the

684
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: Pacers are going to be rumored to be in the

685
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 5: mix for him. But I think it could work out

686
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 5: if they're ready to move on from Miles Turner. You know,

687
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 5: the Celtics could be interested in a big guy like

688
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 5: Miles Turner. They've got to do a lot more contract matching.

689
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 5: Maybe you need to get a third team involved.

690
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: TJ.

691
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 5: Warren could go somewhere else because you probably don't need

692
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 5: him if Gordon Hayward's around. But it sounds funny because

693
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 5: it's Gordon Hayward and Indiana and the Pacers.

694
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: But it makes a little bit of sense, I.

695
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: Think, okay, a little bit of sense, Tess, what do

696
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: you think totally?

697
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 6: It looks like two teams that have been rumored forever

698
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 6: to be wanting a couple of certain things could have

699
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 6: a match right here, especially with Victor Oladipo rumored to

700
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 6: be out of there. So if you trade machine it up,

701
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 6: Victor Oladipo and Miles Turner could be traded for Gordon

702
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 6: Hayward and Daniel Tice. Makes sense. Andy couldn't move on

703
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 6: from Oladipo anyway, if you could get Gordon Hayward for

704
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 6: him a guy. Yep, they have been rumored for a

705
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 6: long time to be wanting, so that kind of makes sense.

706
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 6: Miles Turner as a Boston Celtic as their center definitely

707
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 6: makes sense. So I know it's a bit of a reach,

708
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 6: but it's one of those things that we've been talking

709
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 6: about forever, Boston wanting a big Gordon Hayward going to Indiana.

710
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 6: It almost seems too fitting, but it could. It could

711
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 6: happen here.

712
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: What do you think, Lee, Yeah, good and Heyward's a

713
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: very good player, but the injury concerns do sort of

714
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: limit what you think he can his best can be.

715
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: I think for me, in the in the bubble there,

716
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: he got injured, you know, and when he came back

717
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: he was okay, but he wasn't really super. So you

718
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: just wonder exactly what the best role is for him.

719
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: I think he is a nice complimentary piece on the

720
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: paces right now, if you if you consider everything, assuming

721
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: that all the depot is out, I think he's a

722
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: good fit for that team. But I also don't think

723
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: he really elevates them sort of to a greater level

724
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: than they really were at. So I'm really struggling to

725
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: figure out exactly just how good he is and what

726
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: his value is because you know.

727
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 4: He at his best.

728
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Thirty four million dollars, No, but then would he did

729
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: have a good year, and you know, coming off the bench,

730
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: he's a team guy. He can come off the bench

731
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 1: and he provides a steady hand. He can you know

732
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the games. I like to have

733
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: him on the court, But would you if you're the Paces,

734
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: if he says, okay, you know, I'll opt out of

735
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: this contract if you give me four years for one

736
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: hundred million. Would would the Pacers do that? You know,

737
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: at thirty years old, twenty five million year? I mean

738
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of I think, you know, I think that's

739
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: the kind of contract he could expect.

740
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, if they have somebody who wants to be there,

741
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 6: sign up. Yeah, Yeah, it's the Piecers.

742
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: Interesting. Interesting, So we'll see. Yeah, is there something to

743
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 3: be done between the Celtics and Pacers here with either

744
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: Turner or Ladiepo like you're saying, I think maybe, yeah,

745
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 3: a lot of like crazy variations on this. Does maybe

746
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: have to involve a third team for it to make

747
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 3: sense a little bit more and make the numbers all work.

748
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: But you tell us, let us know. What do you

749
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: think about the Pacers trying to trade for Gordon Hayward.

750
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 3: I wonder does his barber come with them everywhere?

751
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 4: Do we know that?

752
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 3: Like you got to include him? Is he on the board?

753
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: Demon barber of Fleet Street?

754
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 5: I don't know if that guy made his way to Boston,

755
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 5: but I'm sure he could get some haircuts around there,

756
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 5: you know.

757
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: Everybody is happy to do the high and tight sides.

758
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, right right right, that's that's a good point.

759
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 3: So we'll see with that, and it could be a

760
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: very crazy offseason, like I said here, with the quick turnaround,

761
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: so we'll see. I would expect him though, to opt

762
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: in that thirty four million dollars. I'm still gonna go

763
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 3: on record with that one. But crazier things have happened. Okay,

764
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: we got lots more still well get to but before

765
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: we do, quick word from some of our news sponsors.

766
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 3: Awesome stuff. Let's get back to the updown report. This

767
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 3: one's great. Longtime Sonic star Sean camp. He is set

768
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 3: to open up his own dispensary in Seattle this month,

769
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: a move that will make history in the city. Camp's shop,

770
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 3: named Sean Camp's Cannabis, will be Seattle's first black owned dispensary.

771
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: Shop will be located in downtown near the iconic Space Needle.

772
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: So up or Down Lee will go to you first

773
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 3: here upper down on Sean camp opening a marijuana dispensary.

774
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm n't, but everyone out there on Twitter's

775
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: asking why isn't it named Sean Hemp?

776
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 4: Really?

777
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the biggest question here. But oh jokes aside,

778
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: this is very good news for Shan Camp a superstar

779
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: player during his days, he fell on some hard times afterwards,

780
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: and now he's getting back on his feet and providing

781
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: a business and a service that is very helpful and

782
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: very useful. And he's not just sort of going in

783
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: this like without doing his research first. He's partnering up

784
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: with a couple of guys who are experienced in the industry,

785
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 1: and he's trying to make this as successful as possible.

786
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: And he's also right now under the social distancing protocols,

787
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: he's making it so that you can go curbside and

788
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: pick up what you need. And I just think this

789
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: is a great induatate, especially again you mentioned their first

790
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: black owned dispensary, which is a very very good thing,

791
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: and it's you know, somewhat of a pioneer in the industry.

792
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: So we wish him all the best. He's a legend

793
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: still in the Seattle area and hopefully this works out

794
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: for him. And again, this is a serious issue that

795
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: really it's good to see somebody who's a known person

796
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: within their city taking a lead on something like this,

797
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: and obviously we hope it all works out for him.

798
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, said Trey, I assume your thumbs up, man.

799
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thumbs up.

800
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 5: And a couple of people in the stream team are

801
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 5: already hitting on what I was going to head on

802
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 5: John Schuman, I know he was wearing a big pun

803
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 5: shirt when he was on the show. He's dropping a

804
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 5: big pun, no surprise. John Schuman says there better be

805
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 5: a weed variety called the lister Blister one hundred percent, agreeing.

806
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 5: Lewis Henderson hits us with the Strange Man. That's really

807
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 5: good too. There's a lot of great built in names

808
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 5: for weed strains that Sean Kemp can bring to the table.

809
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 5: Those two obviously Supersonic sounds good, and honestly, I was.

810
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: Going in there perusing the wares.

811
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 5: I'm definitely going for a baggie that says fat Sean

812
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 5: on it.

813
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: Pick that up and just chilling on the couch.

814
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: Sign me up him in a Calves uniform on the

815
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 3: bag or whatever. Yeah like that task. Thumbs up and

816
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: thumbs down on camp Here and his marijuana dispensary in Seattle.

817
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 6: Thumbs up. Gary Payton will be at the ribbon cutting.

818
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 6: I think it's this week and I guess it's the

819
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,919
Speaker 6: first black owed brick and mortar dispensary in Seattle. Because

820
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,359
Speaker 6: Gary Payton launched his own canvas company in twenty nine

821
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 6: called Canna Sports, and I think that's just an online one,

822
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 6: and Gary Payton Sean Kemp still boys, and so I'm

823
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 6: sure Sean Kemp took his time and learned a bit

824
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 6: from Gary Payton's mistakes, if he had any. I don't know.

825
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 6: I haven't really looked intoto Gary Payton's situation there, but

826
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 6: I'm sure they're buds and he's gonna have a successful

827
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 6: business along with his a couple of his business partners

828
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 6: that that were outlined in the article there. So good

829
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 6: luck to the rain Man, to the strain Man, go

830
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 6: do it.

831
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,399
Speaker 3: That was another nice big pun right there. I'm sure

832
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 3: they're buds. Also a smart move by Camp two. I

833
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: don't know if you guys saw the photo in the

834
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: article Unmistakable this place, there's like a thirty by eighty

835
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 3: foot mural that looks wicked of the rain Man, like

836
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: in all the in sonic screen and stuff like that.

837
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 3: It's done, I guess by a local muralist, Jeff Jacobson.

838
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: It looks incredible you're gonna go there just to take

839
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 3: photos of that as it is, and then hey, you're

840
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 3: right there, might as well pop in and get some,

841
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 3: you know, some delicious treats for you a little bit later.

842
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: So great call. Thumbs up. I don't know how you

843
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: beat thumbs down on this one, except you're right. I

844
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: mean it's sort of smart just going Sean Kemp's cannabis

845
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 3: because you know, you like the name recognition, right, But

846
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: Sean hamp is so good the strain man. All this

847
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 3: stuff is fantastic. It's like, and we love our puns,

848
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 3: so that that would go next level if if he

849
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 3: had gone that route. But congrats to him.

850
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 6: There's time Till there's time, you know who, get a

851
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 6: team of them in, call him the super Chronics like

852
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 6: Fred Matt Katz brought that one. I've got to give

853
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 6: him the credit. He is a pun master.

854
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it all right.

855
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 2: I got a nice quarter rounds of Nate mcchillin.

856
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: Oh we can make this its own podcast.

857
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 5: Maybe we will, cause Sean camp On is just pitching

858
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 5: strained names.

859
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love that idea, all right, next one here.

860
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: It's been nearly two months since the Nets hired Steve

861
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: Nash as their new head coach two months. Hold on,

862
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: that can't be right. Has it really been two months

863
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: since Nash Cubs? That seems wrong. But anyway, I probably

864
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,439
Speaker 3: wrote that wrong. But he made his first hire for

865
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 3: his staff, big name at least Over the weekend, Sean's

866
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 3: reported that Amari Stodameyer, who was teammates of course with

867
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 3: Nash and Nets general manager Sean Marks when they were

868
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 3: with the Sons, he's joining the Nets team. He's going

869
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 3: to be in a player development role. So sort of

870
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: like an assistant coach here, task gets started up or

871
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 3: down on Amari back in our lives, joining Nash and

872
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 3: joining the Nets coaching staff.

873
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 6: Oh give me it up as as he said, and

874
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 6: Sean's reported a player development coach. He just finished playing

875
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 6: in his career overseas in Israel, where he was the

876
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 6: finals MVP there Israel, and there's some signs he'll be

877
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 6: good at working one on one with guys. Danny of Dia,

878
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 6: who's a top five prospect for the draft and played

879
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 6: with Maccabi this season and played with the Mario, said

880
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 6: he loves working with guys, trying to make them better,

881
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 6: trying to get them involved, So it sure makes sense.

882
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 6: Jared Allen being a better pick and roll partner for

883
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 6: Kyrie Irving could be Amari's huge task, as he did

884
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 6: with Steve Nash way back in the day. And this

885
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 6: is a lot of people are saying, Mario Stoanamar no experience,

886
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 6: Steve Nash no experience. Well it's one piece Nash. I

887
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 6: think has to hire somebody with some coaching experience, some

888
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 6: tactical experience beside him.

889
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 3: There, Jouan Vaughn is still there, right.

890
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 6: Jack Van, Yeah, that's definitely true. There's rumors about him,

891
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 6: you know, calling Dirk Noovisky, calling Rajah Bell to join

892
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 6: him on the step, But yeah, Jaques Von will be there,

893
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 6: So I think he still needs a little bit more

894
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 6: experience around him. But Mari stnwriter is going to love

895
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 6: those philosophical, philosophical conversations with Kyrie Irving too. You know

896
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 6: those guys, those guys are going to grow down for sure.

897
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 6: So kudos to tell Mara. His career was a bit

898
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 6: of a rollercoaster, going from Phoenix to New York where

899
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 6: he started hot in twenty ten, and then because of

900
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 6: the injuries to his knees, he just wasn't the same player,

901
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 6: and he kind of fizzled out at the end of

902
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 6: his career in his mid thirties in North America, but

903
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 6: he picked things up overseas and he had a really, really,

904
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 6: really great career. And I think he knows the pressures

905
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 6: of playing in New York. If that helps at all

906
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 6: with Kevin Durant and kyr Urriig, maybe it will with

907
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 6: some of the younger players. I don't know. In fact

908
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 6: is he's got some life experience player development coach I

909
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 6: think fits the bill.

910
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think, Lee? It seems like the

911
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: new sort of creating a vibe over there. Like like

912
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 3: Tas said, it tried to get Dirk.

913
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 4: You know you go.

914
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 3: Now you've got a MA. It's like, don't worry about

915
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 3: your coaching experience. We just want some cool guys hang

916
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 3: up bybe It works with guys like Kevin Durtt and Carie.

917
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 3: Maybe that's the way to go.

918
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's familiar with people that Steve Nash knows, so

919
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: I guess it's easy for him to communicate and get

920
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: the message across of as what he wants Amara to

921
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: work on with the players. So and good for Mara

922
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: to sort of stay in the game, give back a

923
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: little bit there. Yeah, apparently Dirk was us and he

924
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: said he only really wants to coach if he's going

925
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: to coach in Dallas.

926
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 3: So wow, Wow, this guy is loyal man.

927
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So Nash struck out there. But no, I'm

928
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: excited to see how this comes together because there's a

929
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: lot of pressure. But there's a lot of talent on

930
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: the roster as well, So this could be a situation

931
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: where the Nets do quickly, you know, vault up the

932
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference standings. It's possible with all that talent there.

933
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: But you know, it's also a little bit you know,

934
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: combustible too, you would think with some of those personalities

935
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: on the roster. So I think Steve Nash is trying

936
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: to surround himself with people who he knows, he's familiar with.

937
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to get to know them in terms

938
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: of his coaching stuff, and that should make things a

939
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: little more comfortable for him. So you gotta try these

940
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: things and hopefully it pays off.

941
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm thumbs up on this just for the fact

942
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 3: alone that a name like Amari comes back into our

943
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 3: lives and then suddenly I'm watching Amari Stodamayer highlights, and

944
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, yeah, guy was amazing. You know, a

945
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 3: six time All Star, but he played for a long time,

946
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 3: and his highlights with Nash our next level. I mean,

947
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 3: the Sons were one of the most enjoyable teams that

948
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: I've ever watched play NBA basketball. I think that's true

949
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 3: for a lot of people. But try anything to add

950
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 3: I assume it thumbs up on this.

951
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm thumbs up. I feel the same way I

952
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 5: did when Steve Nash was hired. I didn't really know

953
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 5: that he wanted to get into coaching, but I'm gonna

954
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 5: be happy to see him on the sideline. It's gonna

955
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 5: be weird seeing Mury Stoudemayer wearing a suit every single night.

956
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 5: That's gonna definitely be a change. I always remember him

957
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 5: as a guy in a cutoff jean jacket with the

958
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 5: arms out showing off the guns. Maybe he cuts the

959
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 5: sleeves off his suit as well.

960
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. Whatever it is.

961
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 5: There's a lot of old Sons who are also available

962
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 5: right now. Mike d'An Toni's out there, Alvin Gentries out there,

963
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 5: get the gang back together. See what Sean Marian's up

964
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 5: to let him teach some defense, because you're not getting

965
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 5: that from Nash and Amari.

966
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 2: But I'll be fun to see him around.

967
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 3: You got a an Amari Statamar Finals MVP report from

968
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 3: your in laws him playing in Israel.

969
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 6: There they he was good.

970
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: He was good. I still got.

971
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 6: It and uh yeah. To add on to Trey's fashion profile,

972
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 6: he likes to wear hats, also wear big brimmed hats,

973
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 6: so he'll be walking into the arena with some chapeaus.

974
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 6: I can see him flinging him out to all the

975
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 6: boys in the in the locker room for sure.

976
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, maybe it's a slick move to

977
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: try and recruit Carmelo to come play for the Nets.

978
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 3: Bringing a hat guy we don't know likes his hats.

979
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 3: I could talk hats, and you said the Amari and Kyrie,

980
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure like they might bond over, you know, just

981
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 3: being interesting guys and having, you know, some unique thoughts

982
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 3: on life. I'd love to see those two guys in

983
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 3: a bathtub of red wine, like chilling. Like remember Kevin

984
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: Hart had his little show online where you getting a

985
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 3: cold tub and do an interview. Mario should do that

986
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 3: with the red wine baths. First guest, Kyrie. But you

987
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: got to be in the same one. You gotta be

988
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 3: in the same tub.

989
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: You gotta showing Kemp's dispensary just beforehand. It's im sure, yeah,

990
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: make it a real body.

991
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: Why not? Why not? All right?

992
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 6: There was there was a great caption of the Mari

993
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 6: sitting in that red wine saying to Kyrie, Kyrie, come

994
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 6: into my office. I remember, Yeah, makes sense. Wouldn't it

995
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 6: be the weirdest thing Steve Nash being hired I don't

996
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 6: know where. It was very strange, But if Mike D'Antoni

997
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 6: is an assistant for Steve Nash, wouldn't that be the

998
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 6: absolute strangest thing.

999
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: That'd be weird. That'd be weird, but also sort of

1000
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 3: I could see it happening. Yeah, I mean yeah, he had.

1001
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 5: An assistant job with the Sixers right before he was

1002
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 5: with Houston, so he's willing to take a second seat.

1003
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 3: It sounds like I think he just tasked me. It

1004
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: could be weird one of players players have you never coached?

1005
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, who knows? All right? Next one here the

1006
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 3: Nuggets Downtown Sports Venue getting the name change Guys for

1010
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,080

1011
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 3: from the can as they called the Pepsi Center to

1012

Speaker 3: the Jar now being Ballerina Mason Jar. I guess upper

1013
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 3: down on the nugget Pepsi Center being renamed.

1014
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: Ballerina ly well, I'm up on it because it's not

1015
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: the greatest name in the world, even though it's a

1016
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: pun of course in the basketball world.

1017
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 4: But what it actually represents.

1018
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: Is this company is a leader apparently in renewable and recycling.

1019
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 4: Aluminum and things like that.

1020
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:47,959
Speaker 2: I know, I'm trying.

1021
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 4: I was trying to read up and I was trying

1022
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 4: to get the worst right.

1023
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: But it's all sustainability, so it's trying to make the

1024
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: experience a little bit more environmentally friendly for everybody.

1025
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm thumbs up on all that, thumb thumbs

1026
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 3: up on no idea.

1027
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: No, I know, because it's not just it's not just

1028
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: this arena, it's it's basically the Arsenal Football Club in London,

1029
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: because the cron Keys are on that as well, and

1030
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: there's another team as well.

1031
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 4: I can't remember who.

1032
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 6: That is, Los Angeles Rams the ramsy By Stadium. Yeah,

1033
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,799

1034
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 6: You can say aluminum for me though, because I don't

1035
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 6: know how to prevent. The partnership includes sustainable and environmentally

1036
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,760
Speaker 6: friendly elements that will be established at Ball Arena Sofi

1037
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 6: Stadium for the Rams Emmert Stadium in London for Arsenal.

1038
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 6: They vowed to transition to aluminum beverage packaging, cans, bottles

1039
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 6: and cups for one hundred percent of the venues concessions,

1040
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 6: with the goal implementing a closed loop system by twenty

1041
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 6: twenty two. That's amazing. Those cups, bottles and cans don't

1042
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 6: leave the stadium going to the back refreshed and they're

1043
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 6: back on the line. Amazing, h amazing. And the recycle industry,

1044
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 6: whatever you want to call it, le whatever, whatever that

1045
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 6: initiative is, that is funmtal stuff.

1046
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: I'll just say, I mean the spelling of aluminium. You know,

1047
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,479
Speaker 1: it's an I M at the end, at.

1048
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: The end, I've got to run here.

1049
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it's aluminum.

1050
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 6: A I n U M.

1051
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: I think they're different things.

1052
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, maybe you guys are talking about

1053
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 3: two different things.

1054
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 4: I guess we don't.

1055
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 6: Really got an extra.

1056
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 3: They're the same thing.

1057
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 2: They're the same thing. Extra.

1058
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 5: I am an aluminium, but in American and Canadian English

1059
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 5: you're talking aluminum.

1060
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 2: For everyone else, that's aluminium. Fancy pants over here.

1061
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 5: It sounds no longer a man of the people going

1062
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 5: with pronunciation.

1063
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 3: Ball arena tray thumbs up or thumbs down. Forget this initiative.

1064
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 3: What about the name?

1065
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 5: Man, Well, it sucks for the Colorado Avalanche to have

1066
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 5: to play in the ball arena.

1067
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 2: That's brutal for that.

1068
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 5: These guys are using pucks and they're supposed to go

1069
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 5: out there and play their best. Come on. Oh yeah,

1070
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 5: it's a hilarious name, along the same lines as hoop Stadium,

1071
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 5: the game gardener, maybe even the sports center. I'm up,

1072
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 5: why not ball arena.

1073
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: It's hilarious.

1074
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw at honey am tweet. The Nuggets should

1075
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: trade for Lonzo sign Leangelo, trade up to draft Lamello,

1076
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: and then run a.

1077
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 2: Ball ball ball bowl ball.

1078
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 3: Line up in I mean, you need a fifth guy.

1079
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 3: They gotta do it, guys, but yeah, that's they gotta

1080
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 3: do it. That's an excellent idea. I love the name

1081
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 3: Pepsi Center, but I wonder what happens to the Pepsi product?

1082
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: Is it gone?

1083
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 3: You think it's there?

1084
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 4: Apparently?

1085
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, I know that part. Good to know.

1086
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 3: In the new aluminum aluminium can.

1087
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: Change.

1088
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: That's what they change it to, the Aluminium Center, Aluminum aluminum.

1089
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 2: All right.

1090
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 5: So I've heard of aluminium cans. Obviously aluminium bottles. They're

1091
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 5: everywhere now. Aluminium cups sounds a bit crazy, Yeah, too far.

1092
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 3: I saw a photo of them. They look cool. I mean,

1093
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 3: I wonder cold that would be underhand? Carry on that

1094
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 3: back from the concession stand to your seat. You might

1095
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 3: have to wear gloves when you go to watch a

1096
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 3: Nuggets game.

1097
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 2: You better be buying a Nuggets koozy. They're gonna have

1098
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 2: them in the gift shop for sure.

1099
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: That's a really smart idea. Yeah, so you're right. Sucks

1100
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 3: for the Avalanche. It should be called the ball and

1101
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 3: Pack Arena, and that's what they should call it. Oh well,

1102
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 3: ball Aerina. See you later, Pepsi Center. Let's take one

1103
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 3: more quick break before we get to a few more updowns.

1104
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: What do you got, Trey? Excellent?

1105
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 2: All right?

1106
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 3: We have two more here. Over the last week, the

1107
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 3: Athletic introduce Seth Partners player tiers. I hope you guys

1108
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 3: saw this breaking down the top one and twenty five

1109
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 3: players in the NBA right now. So the four greatest

1110
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 3: players in the NBA right now, the one A guys

1111
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 3: according to Seth's metrics are Lebron, Jannis Harden, and Kalai

1112
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 3: Kurry and Durant right there in the one B category.

1113
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: They're one B dudes. But what really set the internet

1114
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: on fire Anthony Davis in the one A or B

1115
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 3: or C group. He's a Tier two guy, Anthony Davis. Gasp,

1116
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 3: guys up or down on the Athletics. Seth part now

1117
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 3: slotting Anthony Davis in tier two.

1118
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 6: What do you think, tass Yeah, after what happened in

1119
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 6: the NBA finals and Anthony Davis being a champion, I

1120
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 6: think just the recency of that led to the uproar

1121
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 6: of Seth's work, and so after one B it drops

1122
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 6: directly to two A where Anthony Davis is hanging with

1123
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 6: Luca and Nikola Jokic ahead of two B guys and

1124
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 6: two C guys. But let's step back from the finals.

1125
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 6: I think Seth it's fair work. It's fair work. Basically,

1126
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 6: I think his biggest argument with him not throwing him

1127
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 6: in with Giannis, Lebron, Kawhi, Hard and Durant and Curry

1128
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 6: is that he had seven years in New Orleans. He

1129
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 6: only took his team to the playoffs twice. And although

1130
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 6: this work is kind of about the future and if

1131
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 6: you look at next year, what tier are these guys in,

1132
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 6: it's kind of a detriment to Anthony Davis because he

1133
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,959
Speaker 6: plays with Lebron James and so it's kind of impossible

1134
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 6: to know whether or not he could drag his team

1135
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 6: deep into the playoffs like those other six guys who

1136
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 6: are at the top. He hasn't been able to do that.

1137
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 6: He hasn't been really an offense unto himself like those

1138
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 6: other guys. And obviously the criticisms will go right at Gianni's, Oh,

1139
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 6: come on, he didn't do anything in the playoffs. Well,

1140
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 6: it's he is more of an offense than Anthony Davis's.

1141
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 6: It's just the way it's been. And Jannis Yep gets

1142
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 6: to the second round and gets bounced, people will criticize Harden.

1143
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 6: He has made a conference final on his own. He

1144
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 6: has gotten deeper. I think it is fair. He is

1145
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 6: flitting hairs, Seth is, and he says that in the piece,

1146
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 6: but it's a tough one to chop him down. I

1147
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 6: think the Luka doncic One is even a bigger uproar

1148
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 6: him not being in the Tier one category. But you

1149
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 6: got to draw the line, and it's coming off him

1150
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,919
Speaker 6: winning the finals. If it's obviously, if this was coming

1151
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 6: off his first seven years of his career, then no

1152
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 6: one would have a problem him being in Tier two.

1153
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 6: But Lebron kind of, you know, boosts him into that stratosphere.

1154
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 6: But at the same time, if you throw any of

1155
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:22,799
Speaker 6: those other Tier one guys on a team with Lebron James,

1156
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 6: if Jannis Kawhi, Harden, Durant or Curry or on a

1157
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 6: team with Lebron James, they're running the finals too, So

1158
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 6: it's kind of you can't work it both ways. I

1159
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 6: think Seth is being fair in this instance.

1160
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think, Leland? You go, what do

1161
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 3: you think about this? Even the tiers in general? Is

1162
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 3: it better than doing hey, top ten, top fifteen? I

1163
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 3: sort of like it. I think it's sort of cool

1164
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 3: trying to slap these guys, But what do you think

1165
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 3: of eighty specifically?

1166
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, Well, there's no real way to agree

1167
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: across the board on these things because it all comes

1168
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: down to opinions and biases that we have towards our

1169
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: favorite players. But I'm going to judge it on what

1170
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: we know right now, and there's no way I would

1171
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: have James Hadden and the head of Anthony Das. And

1172
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say that because of my history

1173
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: with James Harden, but Anthony Davis. I can't believe anyone

1174
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: would pick James Harden over him as far as if

1175
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: you were picking a team right now, because Davis is

1176
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,840
Speaker 1: a two way player and he was sensational for the

1177
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: Lakers in the playoffs, and whether I was playing with

1178
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: Lebron or not. I mean, he's shown us for a

1179
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: while he has the talent, but now he had a

1180
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: platform where he really it really came out. So my

1181
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: opinion would be Davis. Just because you could have two

1182
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: players from the same team in the Tier one, I

1183
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 1: would still do it. I think Anthony Davis has proven

1184
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: that this season. And look, there was pressure on him

1185
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: coming into this season because in the sense that okay,

1186
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: now you're on a good team with good players, you

1187
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: have to deliver, and I think he did that. I

1188
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: think he did that very, very comfortably and very dominating

1189
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,240
Speaker 1: for the most part in the playoffs. I mean, Lebron

1190
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: was fantastic in the finals, but Anthony Davis was not

1191
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: far away from just how good he was. And so

1192
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: for me, he's a Tier one player.

1193
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 5: Okay, Trey Seth says and his radar that this is

1194
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 5: Tier one SEE or Tier two A, and they might

1195
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 5: as easily be known as Tier one point five. But

1196
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 5: to me, Anthony Davis is the definition of Tier one

1197
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 5: point five, like Seth is saying, like Tass is mentioning,

1198
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 5: He's not a guy who's going to necessarily carry your

1199
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 5: team offensively. From a standpoint of give him the ball,

1200
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 5: he's going to be able to go get a great

1201
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 5: shot and get that shot.

1202
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 2: But he's a.

1203
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 5: Perfect number two guy who accumulate accumulates points an efficiency

1204
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,879
Speaker 5: like a number one player, right Like, just from getting rebounds,

1205
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 5: offensive rebounds, lobs, just little plays where he's scrapping along.

1206
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 5: He's able to get you to twenty five points per

1207
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 5: game in the NBA Final shooting fifty seven percent. He's

1208
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 5: obviously a number one guy on defense, a de defensive

1209
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 5: Player of the Year caliber wrecker on that side, he's

1210
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 5: for me, the biggest mismatch in the league. I have

1211
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 5: him clearly ahead of Jokic from having just watched the

1212
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 5: playoffs and the entirety of their careers. I think the

1213
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 5: two way value that Davis gives you is a little

1214
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 5: bit more important than what you're getting from Yokich as

1215
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 5: a number one guy on offense and a little bit

1216
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 5: of defense. But he had his own team for a

1217
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 5: long time and the success wasn't massive. Once he got

1218
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 5: alongside Lebron James, you saw exactly what he could be

1219
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 5: and the perfect role for him. He's maybe a little

1220
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 5: bit miscast as the ultimate number one give him the ball,

1221
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 5: go get a bucket guy, but he was even better

1222
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 5: with that during the NBA Finals. You know, he had

1223
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 5: so many of those eighteen to twenty foot jumpers, which

1224
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 5: if those are going to be dropping come the next season,

1225
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,439
Speaker 5: then yeah, you're gonna easily move Anthony Davis up into

1226
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 5: Tier one. But he's kind of in the perfect middle

1227
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 5: spot where he's the best number two guy in the

1228
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 5: league just because he doesn't have to be the best

1229
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 5: number one guy. Because he's got the best number one guy.

1230
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 5: So yeah, Steff's got him in the right spot. You

1231
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 5: can bump him up to tier one for me, or

1232
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 5: you could keep him right here at the top of

1233
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 5: Tier two.

1234
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 2: That's why he's one point five.

1235
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Again, highly recommend if you haven't done so, to

1236
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 3: do a deep dive on the Athletics seth Partner's player

1237
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 3: rankings here the tiers. He did so much work on this.

1238
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be really cool to see him

1239
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 3: hopefully continue to do this next season and see where

1240
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 3: guys like either bump up or fall out or stay

1241
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,920

1242
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 3: you know, because he's like a numbers guy. It's metrics

1243

1249
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,720
Speaker 3: team here Final one JD. I'm gonna go to you first,

1250
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 3: but I got to read this whole thing because it's amazing.

1251
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 3: The supposed plot of Lebron james long awaited Space Jam two,

1252
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 3: A New Legacy has hit Twitter sounds even more bonkers

1253
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 3: than the ninety six original. Though a synopsis for the

1254
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 3: film was shared by a Hollywood writer and director Ben Meckler,

1255
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 3: it reads, I'm gonna read this whole thing because again

1256
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 3: it's incredible. During a trip to the Warner Brothers studio,

1257
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 3: NBA superstar Lebron James and his son accidentally get trapped

1258
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,720
Speaker 3: within a world that contains all of the Warner Brothers

1259
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,959
Speaker 3: stories and characters under the control of a malfunctioning all

1260
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 3: powerful force named AIG played by Don Chietdel. With the

1261
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 3: help of Bugs Bunny, Lebron must navigate through a never

1262
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 3: before imagine world filled with iconic movie scenes and characters

1263
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 3: as they reassemble the Looney Tunes to rescue his lost son.

1264
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 3: Now to get back home, Lebron and the Tunes have

1265
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 3: to unravel AIG's mysterious plan and win an epic basketball

1266
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 3: game against digital gamified super versions of the NBA and

1267
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 3: WNBA's biggest stars as the entire world watches. So this

1268
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 3: is crazy, this leaked plot. If this is true for

1269
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 3: Space Jam two could involve the entire Warner Brothers basically

1270
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 3: movie catalog. Jd up or down on again this leaked

1271
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 3: plot for Space Jam two.

1272
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 8: Well, I'm very torn because I hate Space Jam as

1273
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 8: we discussed already on a previous episode of the show.

1274
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 8: But I love an Easter Egg hunt, you know, like

1275
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 8: I love seeing references and stuff like that in movies.

1276
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 8: So I think ultimately I'm up, okay, But I mean,

1277
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 8: here's what we know for sure. Well, just based on

1278
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 8: there was some leaked footage from the Rap Party, so

1279
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 8: we saw we're going to the Mask. We're gonna see

1280
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 8: Jim Carrey as the Mask. We've seen Voldemort, so we

1281
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 8: got some Harry Potter in there. Wow, we have Jared

1282
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 8: Leto as the Joker, that's the Suicide Squad Joker, who

1283
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,439
Speaker 8: it was revealed this week is coming back for this

1284
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 8: Justice League remake or redo the Snyder cut of Just

1285
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 8: Who Cares? Okay, And I looked on IMDb and we've

1286
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 8: got in the cast. We've got two war Boys, so

1287
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 8: we're going to Mad Max. I'm excited about that. Wow,

1288
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 8: We've got Casa Blanca fes men, so we're gonna go

1289
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 8: to Castle Blanc. Or we're gonna see them go to

1290
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 8: Castle Blanca, I guess. And there's there's there's somebody in

1291
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 8: the cast named Trinity. Well that's the Matrix, so it's

1292
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 8: not carry Moss, but you know, maybe it's the back

1293
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 8: of her head or something. So I mean, oh, when

1294
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 8: we saw the Pennywise from it, so it's like, okay, cool,

1295
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 8: I guess.

1296
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not much of a kid's movie exactly.

1297
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 8: It's exactly right, you know, And it's not exactly an

1298
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 8: original idea because we've seen it in Ready Player one

1299
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 8: and Spielberg. You know, they do this whole shining thing

1300
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 8: and it's fine, I guess. I mean, who you know

1301
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 8: who really did it well? Was the Avengers Endgame when

1302
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 8: they went back to their own movies, and that was

1303
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 8: kind of cool.

1304
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1305
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 8: The Lego movie also was. They did a pretty good

1306
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 8: job bringing in all the Warner Brothers characters. I mean,

1307
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 8: but yeah, I'm up on it. I guess what would

1308
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 8: be really cool? This is what I want to see,

1309
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 8: And then I'm this will be the best movie of

1310
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 8: the decade if they do this. If they bring in

1311
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,959
Speaker 8: alcoholic Ben Affleck from the Warner Brothers movie The Way

1312
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 8: Back to coach the team. Now, that's next level.

1313
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 3: That would be amazing. Okay, okay if we see the

1314
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 3: drunk Ben affleck yeah, coaching this team. All right, So Jada,

1315
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 3: you're up on it because like you're at least intrigued

1316
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 3: by this.

1317
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I mean I'm not going to go

1318
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 8: see Space Jam and New Legacy. I mean I'm not

1319
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 8: going to the theater to see that. You know, when

1320
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:25,440
Speaker 8: it comes on HBO Max, which I'm sure it will,

1321
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 8: I'll watch it, I guess, just so I can go, oh, yeah,

1322
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:29,919
Speaker 8: we should review.

1323
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're definitely going to review it. There will be

1324
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 3: a film session on Space Jam two.

1325
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 8: So it's just like, oh is that guy there?

1326
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 3: He is? Oh that's that woman.

1327
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 8: I remember her, but his you know, Sebastian and Oscar

1328
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 8: sitting watching like, oh, I can't believe they went to

1329
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 8: Casa Blanca.

1330
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 2: That's that's amazing.

1331
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 6: Doctor Chibago.

1332
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 8: Did you see that? Guys?

1333
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1334
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 6: All right, well they just watched Borat? Did they like Borat?

1335
01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 4: My kids?

1336
01:00:58,600 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1337
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 8: Oh they loved it, loved it.

1338
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 2: See Warner Brothers.

1339
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 8: No, that's Amazon.

1340
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 4: I'm prime, Amazon Prime.

1341
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 3: Right right right right? Okay, So Lee, what do you

1342
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 3: think about.

1343
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: This from from the time this was rumored to the

1344
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: time we're actually going to see it, it feels like this

1345
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: has been the longest build up to a movie of

1346
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: all time. So I'm just hoping that it gets here

1347
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 1: soon and we can watch it and then trash it. Okay,

1348
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 1: so because everyone's going to trash it and just say,

1349
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: why do they even do this? You know, Space Jam Stark,

1350
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: this one's even worse. Let's just see it.

1351
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 3: Man's everybody thinks. I know, I didn't mind it.

1352
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: I didn't mind it myself, but that's the general sort

1353
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: of opinion is that people didn't like Space Jam, so,

1354
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 1: you know.

1355
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 4: But also Kyle Kuzma is in this.

1356
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Anthony Davis, isn't it. Yeah, I know Lillard's

1357
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 3: in it as well.

1358
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: I think maybe James harden It, you know, big big

1359
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: names in there.

1360
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 4: And KOs gets a run too.

1361
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 2: He's not even freakishly toll like Sean Bradley.

1362
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean if Bouba he had to be

1363
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: in it, and he's not, So I think they missed

1364
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: an opportunity.

1365
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 5: There is John Wicker Warner Brothers property. They could go

1366
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 5: back to him fighting.

1367
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean, think about Bobart he is such a great

1368
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: personality and he'd be such a great character.

1369
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 4: In that movie. So you know, I'm disappointed, but.

1370
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 8: It's kind of a bummer that it sounds like they're

1371
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 8: having actual players play the game, which is I don't

1372
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 8: like I want to see dirty Harry on the court,

1373
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 8: you know, like right right. Bruce Lee answered the dragon.

1374
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 4: Wow, Wow, you know he's not really dead.

1375
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 3: It's in a book.

1376
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 4: It's in a book.

1377
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, thumbs up, thumbs down.

1378
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 2: I can't believe this isn't fake.

1379
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 5: I thought for sure it was fake based on this guy,

1380
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 5: what's his name, Ben? He seems to be a bit

1381
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 5: of a Twitter jokesterue and he is a comedy writer.

1382
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 5: This is a pretty funny sonop that was written by someone.

1383
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 5: But JD's right, there is somehow leaked footage of all

1384
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 5: these super weird scenes. I didn't know that that was

1385
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 5: out there. I threw in a quick Space Jam too,

1386
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 5: leaked footage into YouTube while you guys were talking. This

1387
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 5: thing looks weird, man, And is there a chance that's

1388
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 5: gonna be rated? R if they're going back to the majors?

1389
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 5: Are we getting an adult space jam movie? What the

1390
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 5: people have finally been clamoring for this movie is not

1391
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 5: made for kids. That would be awesome if Lebron said, Yeah,

1392
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 5: everybody that saw this when you were eleven years old,

1393
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 5: you're gonna love it at thirty five years old.

1394
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 2: Let's see it. Let's see the R rated version.

1395
01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: Wow, task finish this off.

1396
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 6: You a upper down on this man only if Leandro

1397
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 6: Barbosa is the Roadrunner or something of that nature. I

1398
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 6: don't know. This is very confusing. It's confusing, so let's

1399
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 6: just let's let's bring it up. It's it's hard. It's

1400
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 6: really hard, as Jad was saying, to throw in all

1401
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 6: these characters as it. I don't know. I don't know

1402
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 6: how they're gonna do it, but I'll be watching, but

1403
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 6: I'll be watch.

1404
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 3: I guess if you're to believe this synopsis, you're right.

1405
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 3: They're just gonna be like popping into all these different worlds, right,

1406
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 3: Like that's what I get, because, yeah, it doesn't sound

1407
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 3: like Voldemort. It's gonna be playing center versus Lebron and

1408
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 3: Maloney's which is like that sort of sounds like it

1409
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 3: could be fun.

1410
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but why doesn't Boldemort just cast a spell in

1411
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 6: the locker room on the other team or something, you know,

1412
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,800
