1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: What needs to happen this off season for the Warriors

3
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: to be real contenders again.

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: I think, you know, the heavy lifting has been done.

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 3: Like you added Jimmy. I think that was the biggest

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: thing that needed to happen. Now we got that. Now

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: you can tool around that. You know, our team was

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: tooled around staff. Now you know how Jimmy looks in

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 3: the system, you know how Jimmy likes to play.

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 4: You can also tool around that as well. So I think,

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 4: you know.

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: Just locking in from that front, understanding what we got

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: where we can get better and making those pushes.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: You know.

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 3: But free agency is tough, man, you know, trying to

16
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: court people and make the best friend, and you don't

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: always know what it is right Like for some guys

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: it could be the highest dollar a mouth.

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: Of the other guys that could be totally different.

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 3: So I think just going into it, it's just all

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: about looking to see, like, all right, now we know

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 3: how it looks Now we got that part figured out.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: Now what does it look like around that?

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: So I think we're in a much better position handing

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 3: to this one than we were last year.

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,240

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,920

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: You gotta just cominga you know things, free agents in

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,800

00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,440

108
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:09,200

Speaker 4: That sucks, man, But I'll tell you what it does.

121
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: When you look at the Indiana Pacers about to go

122
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: into the tax for the first time, it'll be interesting

123
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: to see if they changed they tune because you got

124
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 3: highly out for a whome a year now. Yeah, more

125
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,080

127
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,360

00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: get a chance to finish his heartbreaking and he deserved it.

130
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: He fought to a game seven. He fought with injury.

131
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: We talked about it on the show that playing with

132
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: that calf muscle was gonna be risky. Remember we talked

133
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: about if he can show up and give us a

134
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 2: Willis reed. He did that game six twenty three. That

135
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: was a little bit more. But coming into game seven,

136
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: it's like you forget that that the way you feel

137
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: going into a game seven, you feel so much better, Yeah,

138
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: but you're not so much better. You still say it's

139
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: more damage if anything. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

140
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: When I say still the same, I mean you're still

141
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: dealing with the same You're still.

142
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 4: Dealing with the same thing.

143
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: And a lot of times like you so hype and

144
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: you feel good, Like how many times I can remember

145
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: so many times like man, I feel good and then

146
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: jump and land and be like, now, how did this happen?

147
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: Right?

148
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: You forget you forget you forget that. Oh you're still

149
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: injured and you're still nursing the injury. So it was

150
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: tough to watch that because that young man deserved to

151
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: be be able to finish that game and walk off

152
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: that court on his own. But he will be back.

153
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: I know that's right. He'll be better, most definitely. Will

154
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: most definitely. So shout out to Tyree's Man and Indiana patients.

155
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: They had a great year. Get to the NBA finals

Speaker 2: an incredible year.

158
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: So congratulation to those guys as well. KD was that fanatics,

159
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 3: That's which we just spoke about in the middle of

160
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: an interview when he was traded to the Houston Rockets,

161
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: And there are some conspiracy theories floating around, so I

162
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: must have asked you before we get into the trade,

163
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: what side of the conspiracy theory do you stand on?

164
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: They said Kad chose for that news to come come

165
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: out on Sunday because he wanted overshadow the thunder. I

166
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: personally don't think KD is that type of guy. That's

167
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: what people tried to say. I ain't rocking with that.

168
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 4: That's great, man, that I can't rock with the conspiracy theories.

169
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: A lot of times, you know, these trades they happen,

170
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: and they just happened, like the desperation of the team

171
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: to get it done. And then information travel fast in

172
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: our sport, right, so kt the players the last person.

173
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: To know that they're getting traded?

174
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: Fact always so him finding out on stage and you

175
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: know at the festival for fanatics, that could possibly be

176
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: you know real. I mean maybe he knew, maybe he

177
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: had to just like I mean, maybe he knew it

178
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: was coming. But at the same time, doing the interview,

179
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: the fan reaction, right and the call out from the fan.

180
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 4: That's what I liked about the content.

181
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, seeing fans and seeing how media travels

182
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: so fast. You know, now the player is really the

183
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: last person to know if you're not on social media.

184
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 2: Or like a KD you don't feel like asking your

185
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: phone for two days, you shouldn't. Then everybody find out

186
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: that you find you know, and then you find out

187
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 2: like damn for real?

188
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: Is it possible that we can create this situation for

189
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: like you think about how many guys have the bad

190
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: story Harrison Bars can trade a while on the bench,

191
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: DeMarcus Cousins getting traded, finding out he's traded in the

192
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: middle of an interview after the All Star Game?

193
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: Do you think that this is a way the NBA?

194
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: Like, should this be a requirement for the NBA, Like

195
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: for guys not to look stupid? So, you know, because

196
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: those things as happy as Kadie was right, like for

197
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: most to your point, for most guys, they could find

198
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 3: that out sitting on that stage and they don't.

199
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: Know, right I think.

200
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm kind of like yes and no, because

201
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: part of working for a team, or part of being

202
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: on team management is you know what, if you just

203
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: want to trade somebody just because you think it's a

204
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: good deal, now you got I mean, if you're saying

205
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: the first person, I think the first person that should

206
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: be told is actual player.

207
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

208
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, with yeah, because I think, you know,

209
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: for most for most players, right, like, of course you're

210
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: not going to be in the driver's seat like Kevin

211
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: Durant was, But there should be some type of system,

212
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: some type of fine system, like, yo, this get out

213
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 3: before these players and this player's camp is alerted, like

214
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: that's an issue, you know, but I think there should yeah,

215
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: go ahead. I think there should be ultimately some type

216
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: of guideline to be uphell you know that, because it

217
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: can be a great thing, right, But at the same time,

218
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: like just finding out wherever your feet.

219
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: That's crazy, it's Hella gray, right because think about it,

220
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: like the media is always gonna find out before you

221
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: that you got traded because they the one doing all

222
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: the digging, right, so soon as the trade happened one

223
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: side on the other side, I mean, I see, they

224
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: should contact the player, but the player still don't feel

225
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: like he didn't know.

226
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, right.

227
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: I remember getting traded from the Clippers to Cleveland, and

228
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: Bennie del Nagro sat down and was like, oh, man,

229
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: you know, we like what we like, what we like.

230
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna sit you down, you know, don't even worry

231
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: about playing. Don't worry about playing New Orleans. I'm in

232
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: the locker room and the media lady came up to me.

233
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 4: She's like, you know you're getting traded, right I was like,

234
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: hell no, for real. I was like, hell no, for real? Right, bro?

235
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: It was shocked. I was shocked, right, I was shocked.

236
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 4: So how did you react to that? Though? Like him? Uh,

237
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 4: you know, I stood fire. I still firm.

238
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: But by the time the game was over, by the

239
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: time I got to the bus, they was like, well,

240
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: the train ain't happening. It ain't happening yet. I gotta say,

241
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: you know, I got family in New Orleans, say buy

242
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: to my family, get on the bus, and then now

243
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: my teammates finding out right it look like.

244
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: Then we get on the plane and it happened.

245
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: So I got to fly back home with the Clippers,

246
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: with Bennie Del Nagro, all the players on the team.

247
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: So I decided that, you know, I've been quiet over

248
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: here for two and a half years. I ain't really

249
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: said that. I ain't ready said nothing to nobody. I've been,

250
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: you know, keeping it low key. So I just went

251
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: up to each person and just kind of told him

252
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: how I felt about him and how I'm going to

253
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: continue to feel about.

254
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: Some of it was love.

255
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: Some bit was just like, you know, critique, but it

256
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: was more so like I wasn't really trip By the

257
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: time I got off the plane, I wasn't really tripping anyway, right,

258
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: I was like, it is what it is. But it

259
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: was important for me to kind of like get that

260
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: angst off my chest because I was, you know, you're

261
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: dealing with some when you're not winning, you're dealing with

262
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: some busters. And at a certain point of the league,

263
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: the league was shifting to like where it is now,

264
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: so there was gonna be a conflict between what's old

265
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: and what's new. Did they work hard for it or

266
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: the entitle like we had to do all this they

267
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: not doing nothing, you know. And then to your point,

268
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: like the media knowing management not really, I'm you know,

269
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: I got beef with management, so it can happen at

270
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: any time. They did approach me and ask me for

271
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: a buyout, which I probably should have took, uh, you know,

272
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: considering the circumstances that if I look back, it wasn't

273
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: as bad a deal as I thought it would would

274
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: be to like get up out of there.

275
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, I just let everybody know how I feel.

276
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: Sat down with everybody sat down with young dudes like

277
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: DJA told them like yo, bro, like you could you

278
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: can really do something, you know, like don't get caught

279
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: up and all the shit that you saw me caught

280
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: up in. You know, just just hoop. You know, it's

281
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: gonna be different front for you. You know what I'm saying.

282
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: So question, after this happened and you could have taken

283
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 3: the buyout but you didn't.

284
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 4: Your next deal, what was your next deal you.

285
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: Signed after this contract that you were currently thinking about

286
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: taking the buyout on, what was the next deal you signed?

287
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 4: I think it was like.

288
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: This was like my uh, I was already like two

289
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: years into my last deal, so my next deal was

290
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: like a two year deal because I was hurt.

291
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 4: But how much like was it more than minimum? Now

292
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: I don't need that. I think it was like around

293
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: the minimum. Okay, Because the question I had was, I feel.

294
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 3: Like when you do take biot in this league, where

295
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: you say it may have been a great situation, but

296
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: I feel like when you do take biots in this league,

297
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: it's almost hard to get off the minimum From that

298
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 3: point over four.

299
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think well I would have probably not been hurt,

300
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: went to Charlotte, right, got a chance to get back

301
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: with Jay Rich and stack in the East Coast, so

302
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: you won't worry about the minimum, you know.

303
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: What I mean?

304
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: Because I was still I was still one of the

305
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: illest uh huh. But it was just I was playing

306
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: for the Clippers, okay, right, And so.

307
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 4: It was hard.

308
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: It was hard to wake up every day, and you

309
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 2: gotta deal with so much drama before you can actually

310
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: play basketball. You gotta do all this talking before you

311
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: can shoot a basketball. You gotta do all this scouting

312
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: and all this shit. And it's like, man, can we

313
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: just play five on five one day and everybody shut

314
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: the fuck up?

315
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: Like that's how we get better?

316
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: Right, But it was just, you know, it was just

317
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: like where you know, it just warmed me. They just

318
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: warmed me. So but I was still good and I

319
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: was still you know, I can get whatever numbers at

320
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: that point, I can get whatever numbers I wanted, depending

321
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: on how to floor the game or what my perspective

322
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: of the game. So leaving I probably would have had

323
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: a better opportunity to, like I was not hurt, to

324
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: pick up and then take off again somewhere else. Right,

Speaker 3: Obviously, the Phoenix Suns has agreed on the Blockbussel Trade

356
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: said a fifteen times NBA All Star, two time final

357
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 3: MVP Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green,

358
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks, the number ten pick in this year's NBA

359
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 3: Drive and five second round picks.

360
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: So just taking that into account, obviously the deal is done. Now.

361
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 4: You know, what's your take on these new Litok Rockets

362
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 4: at KDAN.

363
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: You know, man, that was gonna be that was gonna

364
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: be my question to you. You know, I've been saying

365
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: that KD is upgrade. When you think about what the

366
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: Rockets needed, They need a fishing scoring and what Katie

367
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: brings in presence, his offensive awareness, his defensive awareness, his

368
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: overall I am aiming to win a championship.

369
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 4: I think it's a fair trade, right.

370
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: I wanted to know how you felt because I was

371
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: analyzing y'all game and y'all series as the reason why

372
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: this trade happened. Because when you look at it Jalen Green,

373
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: and you look at Dylan Brooks, and you say, when

374
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: they played well, did the Rockets win more than likely?

375
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I'm saying no.

376
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: In that series against Golden State, right, in that series,

377
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Green had one great game, right, they won. Dylan Brooks,

378
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: let's say he was as consistent. He was consistent, right,

379
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 2: he didn't like he had a assistant series.

380
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 4: Jalen Green had an up and down series.

381
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 2: Right now, you start looking at who could they rely on?

382
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: Ben Fleeck sing go and Thompson yep, and so Thompson

383
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: leaped from.

384
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 3: I would say that. Here's what I was saying. I

385
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: know no one gives some credit. But also I thought

386
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: Javari Smith was.

387
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 4: That's what I would saying, Yes, I thought so too.

388
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: And I thought Javari Smith worked his way back from

389
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: almost going the wrong way as the number two pick

390
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: to like, hold on, I don't like I can compete

391
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 3: at this level. And I think he worked his way

392
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: back and will probably be in the star lineup. But

393
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 3: this Rockets team moved before and I think well deserved.

394
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: So you know when I look at it, and you

395
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: know you mentioned those two guys that listen, anytime you

396
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: can add to Kevin Durant, it said upgrade. I don't

397
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 3: care who you are as a team, any team in

398
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: the in the world in basketball, if you add Kevin Durant,

399
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 3: it's an up right. Now you start speaking on like

400
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: if you add Kevin Durant for Steph Curry, Now those

401
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: are different conversations. But if you're just in this case,

402
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 3: you know, or in most cases, you add Kevin Durant

403
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 3: to the roster, it's going to be an upgrade.

404
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 4: So make no mistake about it.

405
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 3: You know, everybody trying to make like these conversation pieces,

406
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: it's Katie.

407
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 4: You add him to the roster, your roster is better.

408
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: Now you talk about now, if you want to discuss

409
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: the business of basketball, then you have a different discussion

410
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: when you start talking about salary and what happens with caps,

411
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: and that's a totally different question. But that's not what

412
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 3: we're talking about here. What we're talking about here is

413
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 3: you add Katie to that team, it's that team better.

414
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: And where they struggled was, you know, Jalen had a

415
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: very tough playoff series. You'd like to think if he

416
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: had a better playoff series they win. Who knows, but

417
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 3: you'd like to at least think that. Dylan Brooks, like

418
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 3: you said, he was consistent all year. Uh, he played well,

419
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: he shot the ball really well this year. Dylan Brooks

420
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 3: is who he is.

421
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 4: On a contract like Dylan Brooks on you will always

422
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: kind of be to throw in.

423
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 3: Piece absolute yeah, you know, and that's just kind of

424
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 3: the nature nature of the business. I don't think Dylan

425
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 3: Brooks was traded because Dylan Brooks did anything wrong in

426
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: this situation. I think Dylan Brooks was traded because, quite honestly,

427
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 3: that's how this business works. And your contract make the

428
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 3: money work. They wont Kevin Durant, your contract make the

429
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: money work. And you know, when you look at the

430
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 3: way this team has been built, of course they're going

431
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: to trade throw throw Dylan Brooks in to make that

432
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: money work before they throw Jabbar's Smith in or they

433
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: throw u Tarry's like, these these young guys that were

434
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: drafted by this general manager. Now Jalen Green Russ as well.

435
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: He ain't gonna just get rid of all the people

436
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: he drafted, you know, he got rid of one. And

437
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: so I think when I look at this, it's an upgrade.

438
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 3: K D has his familiarity with a may Doka as

439
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 3: a coach. I think KD still wants to compete at

440
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: a high level. And I think this team, like when

441
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 3: you look at the rosters of everywhere we heard KD

442
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 3: may go, this team did the least gutting of a

443
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 3: roster that a team may have had to do to

444
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: make it up still to still make an upgrade and

445
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: still keep keep the roster in a good spot. So

446
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: that's what I think happens for the Rockets. That's that's

447
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: the way I think it looks for them.

448
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: For KD.

449
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 3: Talk about Phoenix on the other hand, I think it's

450
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: a little different situation. But for the Rockets, I think

451
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 3: it's good. Also shout out to freddie V got a

452
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 3: new to deal to stay with the Rockets. Well, the

453
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 3: way I saw him lead that team in the playoffs, like,

454
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 3: and they're gonna need his leadership. They're gonna need his

455
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 3: leadership with that team. I think, with with with Fred's

456
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: demeanor and how Fred go about things, and with KD

457
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: and how KD go about things, I think it'll be

458
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: a good match. Yeah, you get some of the exactly

459
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: some of the stuff that Kate don't want to do,

460
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 3: and people try to make it like an indictment. Okay,

461
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: his character. Know, there's just some stuff that we're all

462
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: human beings and there's something we all have strengths, we

463
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: all have weaknesses and certain things that Kad don't like

464
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 3: to do.

465
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 4: Fred will do that.

466
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 3: And guess what, on a basketball team and team sports,

467
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: that's actually how we're supposed to work. And so, you know,

468
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: I think this puts them in a really good position.

469
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 3: I think they're obviously going to be a team to

470
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 3: be wrecking with your expects going to make a big

471
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: jump after the playoffs. He had, you know, expect Tyres

472
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: and all those guys may jump.

473
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting.

474
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think that team is in

475
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 3: a really good position, and I definitely think it's an upgrade.

476
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: Shout out to our boy, Fred Fleek. I mean, I

477
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: just I totally agree the new Orleans Pelicans are trade

478
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: is CJ McCallum, Kelly Olynnock and a future second round

479
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: pick to the Washington Wizards for Jordan Poole, Sadig Bay

480
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: and the number forty overall pick in the second round of.

481
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 4: The NBA Draft. What does CIS trade mean for both teams? Draymond?

482
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 4: What does it mean for the Pelicans? What this means

483
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: for the Pelicans is that Joe Dee's coming in.

484
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 3: He's making some changes he wanted to see, you know,

485
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 3: just acquire some young talent in Jordan Poole to see

486
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: if he can still make it work with next to

487
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: the Zions, you know, Trey Herb Jones, you know, see

488
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: if you can put it together with these young guys.

489
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: I think.

490
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: So when I look at this Pelicans, this move. You

491
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: got de Jonte be coming off from Achilles entry. Look

492
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 3: at this Pelicans move, I like, I think when you

493
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: add a talent like Jordan Poole, no, CJ is kind

494
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: of who CJ is. You know, Jordan George still has

495
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 3: room for growth. I don't think we've seen the best

496
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: of his growth yet. And I think getting in a

497
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 3: in an organization like New Orleans under Joe Dumar's leadership,

498
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: you know, with with Willie green a to coach, I

499
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: think would be a really good situation for him. I

500
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: think Washington the first year he spent in justin last year,

501
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: he had a really good year numbers wise, But when

502
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: you're on that team, it don't matter.

503
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 4: And so I think, you.

504
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: Know, when I look at when I look at this

505
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: for the Pelicans, I look at this as a net post.

506
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 4: You know, you didn't you didn't have to go crazy.

507
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: From a salary cap standpoint, I think Jordan may make

508
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: a little less than CJ or right around the same amount,

509
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 3: you know, but yeah, I think you still got time

510
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: for him to prove himself. A couple more years left

511
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 3: on this deal. Uh two or three more years left

512
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 3: on his deal. I think he's still got time to

513
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: prove himself. And with some young guys who are also

514
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: looking to take that next step, and so I think

515
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 3: they become a team that you got to watch out

516
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: for in the West. You know, they got a lot

517
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 3: of talent. They're gonna they can put it together. They're

518
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: gonna creep up and can possibly have in good years.

519
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: So that's what I think this move mean for the Pelicans.

520
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: The Wizards. What you got for the Wizards. You look

521
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: at that trade for the Wizards, you know.

522
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: I actually like him for the Wizards. Why Because I

523
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: think CJ. McCollum is what the Wizards need. You need

524
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: some veteran leadership. You need someone who can play basketball.

525
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: You need someone that can talk to your young guys

526
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: and get them in positions to play NBA basketball. You

527
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: got a Linux there who's like, uh, you know, a

528
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: bridge players, somebody who can come in and learn the system,

529
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: be a vet.

530
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 4: So you really trading.

531
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: You know, young energy from Pool who is a dynamic scorer,

532
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: but you bet on Pool to be you know, your

533
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: next all star, superstar player and leader. I think you're

534
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 2: gonna get the leadership in McCollum. You're gonna get more

535
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: consistency out of what do you have now. I don't

536
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: know how how many years McCollum got on this contract,

537
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: but I just like that.

538
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 4: I like this trade in favor of CJ.

539
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 2: And then I also think for Washington it's a good

540
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: move to start submit your organization with some veterans around,

541
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: especially the young guys you have, because they're gonna take

542
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: some time to develop, or if they develop properly, they

543
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: can skyrocket over half a season with their time.

544
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 4: No doubt.

545
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: I think what we're starting to see Morris teams went

546
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 3: so far left with the youth movement that they're realizing that, no,

547
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: you can go young, but you gotta have some veteran

548
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: leadership in there.

549
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 4: Or is the blind leading the blind and that.

550
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: Don't And so I think that's what we're starting to see.

551
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: You know, when you look at this OKAC team, they

552
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: started with all those young guys, but throughout those years,

553
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: they brought in Chris Paul's, you know, and different guys

554
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 3: that has helped continue to show from a veteran leadership standpoint,

555
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: the way to.

556
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 4: Shade and for sure to take the raise.

557
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 3: So I think teams are starting to realize that, I know,

558
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: Will Dawkins comes out of the OKC tree, and you know,

559
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: just to watch them put those veteran leaders around those

560
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 3: young guys, I think it makes sense. I expect CJ

561
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 3: to go in there asking for an extension, to extend

562
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: that money, and but I think overall, I think it's

563
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: a good move for both groups.

564
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: But the NBA Draft is currently going on.

565
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: NBA drifting one of my finest nights you know, he

566
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: was the third pick, so maybe you want to like

567
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: get all hight for the draft.

568
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 4: I think that shit don't matter, don't It's all about

569
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 4: where you go.

570
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 2: Man. I always say the draft is whatever team you

571
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: go to with system. It don't matter where you what

572
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: pick you go. You just want to go to the

573
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: right situation. And we've seen that countless amount of times

574
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: with you know, players in the second round you look

575
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: at I think, you know, the story that's most relevant

576
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: in my time was with Sean Lewis, you know, being

577
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: a first round pick and getting drafted in the second round,

578
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: being upset or wind up going to Seattle and wind

579
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: up becoming the Men. Yeah, faster than he would if

580
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: he would have, you know, went to a Portland at

581
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: the time or Indiana at the time.

582
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: I had to sit behind some bets. So you know,

583
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 4: the draft.

584
00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: For the draft, for me, it was incredible, you know,

585
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: being the third pick, I didn't really know nothing about Charlotte.

586
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 2: I didn't really know who was on the team until

587
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: I got drafted.

588
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I went to a good team.

589
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: I went to a vet team, a playoff team, a

590
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: team that was you know, trying to make it in

591
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 2: the playoffs. In a tough, tough Eastern Conference, and I

592
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: got a chance my rookie year to sit on the bench,

593
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 2: which I did not like as a number three pick

594
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: because the coach tell me I should be starting by

595
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 2: men season.

596
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 4: But it was cool if I.

597
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 2: Would have got drafted earlier later who knows what kind

598
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: of system, But I went to a system where I

599
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 2: was able to grow and they ultimately become an All star.

600
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 3: And yet three, no doubt, No, I think, you know,

601
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 3: I think where you go, Like you said, it's far

602
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 3: more important. Where was you at on draft? I was

603
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 3: in sagging off the doll event center, baby with a

604
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: terrible suit on. And how was it? Well, how did

605
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: it go for you? Because you were supposed to be

606
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 3: a lottery pick?

607
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 5: Right?

608
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 4: Yeah I was.

609
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: I wasn't necessarily going to be lottery, but I definitely

610
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 3: was like projected to the top twenty, top twenty, top

611
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 3: twenty five. Yeah, and you know, to go thirty fifth pick,

612
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: it's like, dang, you see the end of that first

613
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 3: round come You're like, man.

614
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 4: So it's a great night, you know, but it was

615
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 4: very bittersweet.

616
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: Feat was people overreacting at the party or at your event.

617
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 4: Well more people.

618
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: Overreacting than you or well, I know you were disappointed,

619
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 2: but like what was the what was the hype and

620
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 2: then like the whole the death.

621
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody overreacted. I think people are all shot.

622
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 3: You know, you could kind of feel like the Anks

623
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 3: way like way and they're like man like when it's

624
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: gonna happen. But I don't think anybody over acting. Nobody

625
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: made too much of it. I probably I probably felt

626
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 3: with most about it. You know what I'm saying, It's

627
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: just because I know the work that I have put

628
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: in and I knew what I had to offer and

629
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: so on. In the second round was baffling to me.

630
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: But in saying that, to get your name called and

631
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 3: special special in NBA draft is special. So I'm forever

632
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 3: grateful for that moment. I hope these guys enjoy it,

633
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 3: enjoy that night, and then't understand that tomorrow and yeah,

634
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 3: one guy may get an opportunity faster, but tomorrow everybody

635
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: is in an equal planning field.

636
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 4: You got to go prove that you you belong in

637
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 4: the NBA and what you can bring to a team.

638
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 2: Reaction to Drew Holliday Man getting traded to the Blazers

639
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: for Anthony Simon's and second round picks.

640
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: What's your thought on Yeah, I.

641
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 3: Think it's just funny to see Drew trade back to

642
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 3: the Blazers after the Celtis got them from the Blazers

643
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: in order to help them win the championship. But in

644
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: saying that, they say Drew don't want to be there.

645
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 3: I think that was the case the first time he

646
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 3: was traded there as well. But you know, contract situation

647
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 3: is different. I think he three years left on the deal,

648
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: so it's counting that up to you at this point,

649
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 3: but we'll see what happens.

650
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 4: But you know, you signed the contract. He is what

651
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: it is.

652
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: So you know, the Blazers going to do us best

653
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: for them, and they've made that very clear. You know,

654
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 3: the best player in Blazer history wanted to be traded

655
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 3: to certain places and he wasn't traded to those places

656
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 3: that he wanted to be traded to. So they've shown

657
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 3: that as a franchise, they're going to do us best

658
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: for the Blazers, you know. So, and it's a good

659
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: pick to him to see how I play out. But

660
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 3: I think Drew can also whether if he stayed there.

661
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: I think, you know, he can be a great asset

662
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 3: for Chance, you know, bridging that gap between Chance and

663
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: you know, these young guys and kind of being that

664
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 3: coach on the Florida veteran leader who still got game.

665
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: So you know, I think still got a way to

666
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 3: see how I play out. But you know, this is

667
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 3: a team that is y'all and definitely rebuilt. So be

668
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: that as draft night. I think that's that that may

669
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: still shake some.

670
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, I can see that's still shaking up.

671
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 2: But uh, you know the Anthony Simons with Boston, Uh,

672
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: for Drew, I can understand why Boston is doing this.

673
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: We can understand how he can fit in because Boston

674
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: doesn't really they need scoring. They need more scoring guards

675
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: now because of you know one, I would say, Jason

676
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 2: Tatum going going down, you know, looking for for scoring

677
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: is their dynamic. Shooting threes is their dynamic. You got

678
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: another dude that can really get out of stress the floor,

679
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: catch fire. I think it works in a system, But

680
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 2: for Drew, I think it's great for Portland and it's

681
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: great for Drew. You get to mentor you get to hoop,

682
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: You're gonna be in at the end of the games.

683
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about Uh, you know you're

684
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: gonna be the closer, right and part of that closing

685
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 2: team for the Blazers, and you get to break scoop

686
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 2: a log.

687
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,439
Speaker 4: And I like what Portland had last year.

688
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: If as we get closer to see what they do,

689
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna probably call Portland as my sleeper team last

690
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: year or this year.

691
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 4: You know, my.

692
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: Sleeper team was Houston at the beginning of the year.

693
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 2: You see what they did. So you know Portland, I've

694
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: been looking at, analyzing if they make a couple more

695
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: moves and put a few pieces together. I look at

696
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: Portland as a team that can make that jump because

697
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: they young dudes, are talented and play hard.

698
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 4: All right, Well, we're.

699
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: Going to see us the team shape out free agency

700
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 3: and even start got right, That's what I'm saying. Man,

701
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 3: agency has I started, and this man given a sleeper team.

702
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous what I'm doing. You know, I'll be doing

703
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 4: my scout.

704
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 2: Man, I got a scalt I got a scout play GM.

705
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 4: I played GM at home. Free free agency ain't started.

706
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 3: The draft is just starting that this man is talking

707
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 3: about who he got as a sleeper. And listen, They

708
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: also the Celtians also traded at Christophsprezini's to the Hawks.

709
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: The Celtics, listen, this is all about the second April.

710
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 3: People said they didn't want super teams anymore.

711
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 4: With her, you have it.

712
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: All these moves are being made to dodge that second April.

713
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 3: For those out there that don't know what the second

714
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 3: apron is, and Layman's turn for you, it's.

715
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 4: A hard cap.

716
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 3: It is a hard cap that no owner is dealing

717
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 3: with because the penalties are crazy. You lose draft picks,

718
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 3: you lose the mid level exception, you lose roster spots,

719
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: you lose the ability to get better and compete as

720
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 3: a team, and the amount of money that you lose

721
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: is insanity. And so the Boston Celtics would have had

722
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: a salary caps with luxury tax bill of five hundred

723
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: and forty million dollars. It is now at two eighty

724
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: because they got rid of those contracts. So for those

725
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 3: that don't understand what the second apron is, as as

726
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 3: basic as I can flitt it for you, it is

727
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 3: a hard cap.

728
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 4: And when I.

729
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 3: Said this before the deal was the sign that this

730
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 3: is ridiculous and it's going to hurt players. In the end,

731
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 3: no one wanted to listen, and everybody wanted to act

732
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 3: like the PA was making a great deal. The PA

733
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 3: made a shit deal, as the PA has done for

734
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 3: years now, and every year the pop gets bigger and

735
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 3: the business gets better and the players get screwed more.

736
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 4: That's that's just how this business works.

737
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: And so in saying that back to the Boston Celtics,

738
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 3: that's what all of these moves are about people. That's

739
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 3: why they got rid of Persingers, That's why they got

740
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: rid of Drew Holiday. That's why you're hearing so many

741
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 3: people call on Jaylen Brown. You're hearing so many people

742
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 3: call on Derek white Is because they know they want

743
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 3: to give away from that second Apron tax and Jason

744
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 3: Tatum being out, things are up in the air.

745
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 4: You straight for Anthony Simons.

746
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: I think listening there they they're the boss and tell

747
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 3: us they got to be competitive. But at the end

748
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: of the day, it's an expiring deal cap situation all

749
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 3: of those things, and you got Jason Tatum hurt.

750
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 4: Right.

751
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 3: So, if I had to guess, Jaylen Brown, if he

752
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 3: have any Nixon nax this year, probably won't be in

753
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 3: the lineup because you're gonna recalibrate, you're gonna let your

754
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 3: books settle, and then next year with Jason Tatum coming back,

755
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: then you try to retool and start going for it again.

756
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 4: And that's just how these things work.

757
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: You'll see this all over the NBA for years to come,

758
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 3: because that's just the way that this CBA works, and

759
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 3: so you'll see this happen over and over again. That's

760
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 3: my spiel. That's the second April.

761
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: We asked for no more super teams, so we're definitely

762
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 2: gonna get no more super teams, but we're also gonna

763
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 2: get teams that rise in the draft, do great things

764
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: in free agency, and they're gonna it's gonna be more

765
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: broken up teams than the teams that you grow up on,

766
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 2: being like, yo, this team has been together for five years.

767
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 2: That's gonna be hard to do, especially, you know, having

768
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 2: young players becoming great and getting better with that cap.

769
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 2: Guys in Vegas traded to the Orlando Magic but KCP

770
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: Cole Anthony four unprotected first round picks and a pick swap.

771
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 2: What do you think about the Magic move and how

772
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 2: does Bane fit with the current Magic team?

773
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 4: Okay, potential lineup sucks.

774
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: Bane Paulo uh Franz Wagner and Carter Jr.

775
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: Oh, did somebody get fleeced for unprotected first round picks

776
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 4: and a pis walk. That's a lot, that's why. That's why.

777
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: So when I saw the trade, I was like man's lot,

778
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 3: and I.

779
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 4: Like bane, that's a lot.

780
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 3: And then I saw what Orlando's general manager said. I

781
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 3: saw Quotese made and it made complete sense to me

782
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 3: why they would make that deal. Yeah, he said something

783
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 3: along the lines, uh, if you went into a lot

784
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 3: and created a basketball player, you go into the lab

785
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: and create Desmond bay And I said, oh, okay, that's

786
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 3: why he gave up so much. All right, cool, Well,

787
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: the reality is, I think Desmond Bain has done great.

788
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 3: I think he's a very good player. But if I

789
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 3: go into live and create a basketball player, I'm gonna

790
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: create Kevin Durrant or Lebron James, or like a six

791
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 3: six dude with Steph Curry's jump shot. Desmond Bain is

792
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 3: six 'y five with a six four wingspan or six

793
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,479
Speaker 3: two wingspec or something of that nature. I'm not going

794
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: into lab and create No, with all due respect to

795
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 3: Desmond Bank, I'm not going to create a basketball player

796
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:54,720
Speaker 3: with short arms.

797
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 4: So when he said that, those are.

798
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: The things that went in my mind, like, wait, he

799
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 3: got short ours, You're gonna go create a basketball player

800
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 3: with short arms. I don't quite understand that, And so

801
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 3: I was a bit surprised by the statement, but I

802
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 3: understood what he was trying to get at, like Bang

803
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 3: played both sides of the ball, but like, you gotta

804
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 3: find a better way to articulate that. You can't like

805
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: be like you're going to last when you go create

806
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 3: a player, you go create a player on two K cresize.

807
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: You created like six sixteen handle and shoot, you're not

808
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 3: creating Desmond Ban. But it made complete sense to me,

809
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: like why.

810
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 4: They made that move? And I'll take it a step further.

811
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 4: I don't know this to be factual. This is just

812
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 4: my guess. My guess is they've been looking for a

813
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 4: point guard.

814
00:46:54,760 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 3: My guess is they called on John and Memphis somehow

815
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 3: formed it, curved the ball back around and there was

816
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 3: Desmond Bang in the trade. Fourth first round picks and

817
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 3: an unprotected pick. Swap is insane. So it's obviously a

818
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: move that says they they believe in Paulo, they believe

819
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 3: in Franz Bogner, and we're gonna put someone around him,

820
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 3: some shooting that can add you know what I'm saying,

821
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 3: That can take some pressure off of them, and he

822
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 3: more than just a shooter, like he can get into

823
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 3: a bucket, you know.

824
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,879
Speaker 4: And so but that move, what the move signals to.

825
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: Me is that they believe in those guys and they

826
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 3: want to try to go for with those guys. And

827
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 3: also what that move says to me is which I

828
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: agree with, they think the league is wide open and

829
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 3: right now is to take his shot. I just don't

830
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 3: know if that's the shot I would have taken with

831
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: four first round picks unprotected and a pick swap, I'm

832
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 3: not sure that's the out I would have taken. Just

833
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 3: it seems like a lie. But I do understand where

834
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 3: they are. I understand what they're what they're doing, what

835
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 3: they're thinking is and I respect anybody who's willing to

836
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 3: go for all.

837
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 4: Right, where does the Band trade leave the Memphis Grizzlies.

838
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 3: I think it leaves Memphis sort of in the same

839
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: position that they were in, not that Desmond band is

840
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 3: just easy replaceable, but they still got Jared.

841
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 4: They still they still got Jared They still got Jah.

842
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 3: They got a young Zach Edy, they got a young

843
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 3: jaylen Wells, they got a young G. G.

844
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 4: Jackson, they got a young Scottie Pippen. So I think

845
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 4: it leaves them.

846
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 3: Like again, I always say this, I don't think and

847
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 3: I try to tell people this.

848
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 4: All organizations ain't trying to win championships here they are.

849
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 3: That's essentially a shred salary cap move for Memphis. Take

850
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 3: all the picks back, stress from salary cap. See what

851
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 3: we can do with these young guys. But if we can't,

852
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: really and it don't matter. We got all these picks

853
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 3: for the future. Right, that's a salary cap move. So

854
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 3: where does it leave them? I think it should be

855
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 3: clear as day to Jah. You've got to understand how

856
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 3: this business works. Clear as day is that is that

857
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 3: organization really trying to win a championship. When I see

858
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 3: the move, I say, no, you're worried about other things

859
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 3: and you're pulling away. But y'all just pulling back the taxes.

860
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 3: Y'all pulling back. Y'all want to get the tax so

861
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 3: you let you know. But this has been a thing

862
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 3: with them. This has been a thing with Memphis. They've

863
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,479
Speaker 3: been doing over and over again. They had a team

864
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: where it seemed like they had a chance. They let

865
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 3: the Anthony Melton, they send the Anthony Melton away to Philly.

866
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 3: They let Kyle Anderson wall.

867
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 4: Right now you fast forward, it's vain. So this is

868
00:49:58,640 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 4: a thing for them.

869
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 3: I think they're that don't want to get to the

870
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 3: tax and they make moves based on that.

871
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 4: That's why I think this least Memphis all right.

872
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 2: You know, there's been also, I would say a lot

873
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: of sayings or a lot of chatter about Memphis players

874
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: being reluctant to play in Memphis because it's a danger

875
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: space to live. Do you think that also adds to it?

876
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: I think Memphis is a great place. I think that

877
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: we should be one trying to uplift and highlight like

878
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: all the positive things. And so when you hear statements

879
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 2: like that from people like they don't necessarily be tapped

880
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 2: in right. And I don't like statements like that because undermines,

881
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 2: you know, the goodness, the positivity, the true essence of

882
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, a city that needs to be uplifting. You

883
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 2: watching First forty eight and shit like that, and then

884
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 2: you're making assessments off that that's that's television, that's entertainment.

885
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 4: Right.

886
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 2: We're talking about people who blood, sweat and tears, you know, uh,

887
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,359
Speaker 2: come and support you know, the Grizzlies, right, talking about

888
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 2: people who you know, support kids and and Memphis basketball

889
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 2: on all levels, the work you know, Penny doing so

890
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 2: you can't, you can't. It's just it's just bust the

891
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 2: comments to me. You know, I got a lot of love.

892
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: For the city of Memphis. I got people from Memphis too.

893
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 3: People from Memphis has always shown me love. Even they

894
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: staff when we in their building, they show love. Everybody

895
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 3: in Memphis has always shown love. So and I was

896
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 3: about to go to Memphis two years ago. So I

897
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 3: wholeheartedly disagree because the last thing that was on my

898
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 3: mind was this is a dangerous place to live. I

899
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 3: can't go. Every city in the world has a dangerous park.

900
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 3: Every city in the world has a dangerous part to it.

901
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm not going to sit here and single

902
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 3: out that city and be like, yo, a player can't

903
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 3: go to that city because it's too dangerous. Come on, man,

904
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 3: there's that's a wow. There's a dangerous part of Los Angeles.

905
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 3: There's a dangerous part of Detroit. There's a dangerous part

906
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 3: of Miami. There's a Miamis.

907
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 4: Part of the New York. There's a dangerous part of Dallas.

908
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 4: There's a dangerous part of Houston. There's a dangerous.

909
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 3: Part of there's a part of Charlotte, you name it.

910
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 3: There's a dangerous part of everything. So to single off

911
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 3: that franchise and try to make it like nobody want

912
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 3: to go there because that place is dangerous, don't do

913
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 3: that to that city.

914
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 4: I disagree with that wholeheartedly.

915
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 3: Like I said, I was about to go there two

916
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 3: years ago and the last thing that was on my

917
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 3: mind was I'm not gonna go play at with that.

918
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 4: Team because that's dangous.

919
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 3: Is We're here to play basketball, raise our fans on man,

920
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,800
Speaker 3: and be great, great pillars and the absolutely, man.

921
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 4: How can I help that? You stop it? Man?

922
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 2: That's we should have could have caught that one buzz

923
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 2: off or something like that.

924
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 6: The volume
