WEBVTT - NBA News: Timberwolves & Kyrie Irving

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Really quick before we talk about some of these series,

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to just kind of like make sure everybody's

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>up to date on some of the things happening in

0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the background where real basketball is also being played. So

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you've got a few things happen, You've got a little

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of news trickling out, not a ton, You've got

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>rumors around movement of players, You've got lottery NBA draft news,

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>and then obviously you have the games excelf and we're

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>getting down to only a couple of different teams left right,

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and pretty much Dallas we already know, is dead. So

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about some news just to kind of keep

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:42.599
<v Speaker 1>us current while these games are going underway. So the

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>first moment I knew the Timberwolves were for real, that

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>they were serious about being a real NBA franchise was

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>not when they sold the team to a Rod and

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Mark Lori. It was when, not when Tim Connolly came.

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>And we'll get to that news in just a second.

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>This happened in January. The Wolves hired a man named

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Marquise Watts, an executive from Clutch Sports, to be their

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>new chief experience officer. Let's be honest, Glenn Taylor doesn't

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 1>give a fuck about the athlete experience, like they don't care.

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>But this guy and a Rah and Mark Lori do

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>with the task of redefining the player experience in Minnesota.

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>That was a big shot, huge deal at Clutch, who

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>came from under Armour, who came from Adidas. So let

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>me just recap really quickly what Watt said in January

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>when he was hired, just to get us to this

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 1>place where like they weren't playing around when they said

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>changes were coming. He said, this leadership here in Minnesota

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is serious about building a world class organization. There is

0:01:56.360 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>much to untap, much to explore culturally, experientially for our

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>players and the community. This is just the beginning and

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>there is a lot to look forward to. So we're

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>not going to get into how important it is to

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>have somebody in the front office or in charge that's

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.919
<v Speaker 1>connected to Clutch, considering that Clutch represents pretty much all

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 1>of the major players in the NBA or at least

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.240
<v Speaker 1>has their fingers in every deal. They're like the mob

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>of the NBA. Right Like Aunt Edwards is a Clutch client.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James's best friend started Clutch. But I will remind

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you what I said at the time. I said, this

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>is a symbol and a sign that a Rod and

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Mark Lorie are dead serious about changing the culture of

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>this team. His job is not only to cater to

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>existing players, but to make Minnesota a place that people

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>actually want to go in free agency. That's a hard

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>thing to do, a very hard thing to do, given

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>that it's cold, it's white, I mean, and there's not

0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of culture around except for like fish and

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>like ice and all kinds of shit. Anyway, ice fishing exactly.

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>They have like a I think they have like this

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 1>bungee jumping thing into the ice. I know that they

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I got offered this uh near Mall of America. They

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>have the Mall of America. Like how how like whitebread?

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Can you get right? Like Minnesota. We're gonna fix this, though,

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>he says, how do you do that? You roll out

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the red carpet for guys, You make sure the team

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>environment's tight, you make sure you got the right people

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>making decisions, and then you have a dump truck of

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>cash ready to give it to as many people as

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you can to build that team. And then you've got

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 1>big connections to sponsorship deals. At the end of it.

0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I love being right, because that's exactly

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>what ended up happening, because the new look Wolves signed

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the Nuggets top executive Tim Connolly just stole them right

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>out from under the Nuggets. He didn't even want to leave.

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>It's like, made me a deal I couldn't resist. Kind

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>of a thing. Wold reported it. This is the bomb.

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>This is the sound the Wojes bomb. Denver Nuggets president

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Tim Connolly has agreed to a deal with the Minnesota

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Timberwolves that will make him one of the NBA's highest

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>compensated executives. Significant coup for the Minnesota franchise. Nice editorial Woje.

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Significant coup that was his own little sit and see.

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna add something to this anyway. Five years, forty million,

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>but more importantly because eight million's a lot, but it's

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>not as much as Daryl Moore's getting. But the most

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>important thing is he's getting equity in the team. It's

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the first time ever that's happened. Connelly, beloved in Denver,

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>did not want to leave Denver, but you do not change.

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know how much money that's gonna be worth,

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 1>but I'm sure it's life changing. Legacy altering money and

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>for those who don't know who Tim Connolly is and

0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>what he did, like to quote if you're a Marvel fan,

0:04:55.800 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to quote and paraphrase Obadiah Stain from Iron Man. Connelly

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.280
<v Speaker 1>was able to build a conference finals team in a

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>cave with a box of scraps.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>with a bunch of scraps.

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.479
<v Speaker 1>Do it? How come we can't be a conference finals team?

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.719
<v Speaker 1>So what did he do? Here's a short list of

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 1>some of the scraps he was able to turn into gold.

0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Jokichap forty one second rounder Bones Highland twenty six, All

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Rookie Team, Michael Porter junior at fourteen, max player, Jamal

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Murray number seven, All Pro Mark, Keith Morris at fifty one.

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Also Yusuf Nurkich, who's our big man in Portland, Gary Harris,

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Malik Beasley, all outside of the lottery. Denver desperately wanted

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to keep them, but they knew we can't give this

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>man equity. You can't find a person that says a

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>bad word about him. He's as close to being as

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.159
<v Speaker 1>universe beloved in the NBA as you can get everybody.

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.039
<v Speaker 1>When you're in the league long enough, people got bad

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>things to say about you. And he's built a really

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>good team out of nothing in a market even smaller

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and wider than Minnesota. Perfect fit. Honestly, He's like, I

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 1>know I had this blueprint, I can do this, and

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 1>if you're if you're a Wolves fan, you cannot wait

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>until Glenn Taylor is all the way out of this place,

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>releases his cold, bony little hands from this franchise that

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>he's trying to like choke it out. Every little bit

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>of power he still has left. He's trying to just finagle.

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>And it also shows that even though a Rod and

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Mark Laurie don't truly have control of the franchise yet,

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 1>they're still pulling the strings and they're still setting the

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 1>pieces in place for this team to be good for

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a really, really long time. And now when they really

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>take over, Sky is the limit. You know that we

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>can't on I wish I had that music, but we

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 1>don't anyway, insert music. We're just gonna play music, just

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>but finally now understanding something that we haven't understood in

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>a long time. We never really got the full story

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 1>of Kyrie speaks for the very first time in six years.

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>He's ready to explain, and did explain. Why the did

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you ask out of Cleveland? Why did you demand a trade?

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>We know you demanded it, We know you wanted to

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>go to a contender. You said it was to be

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>your own man. But at the time that didn't really

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 1>make no sense because you were with Tatum and Brown, Like,

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>so you're not really And now that we know truthfully,

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.560
<v Speaker 1>he'd never wanted to leave Lebron, he just wanted to

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>leave Cleveland, like he just He's like, I don't even

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>care about Braun, like me and Bron were good, Like

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't want to be in Cleveland anymore. This

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>franchise sucks. They sat me down, he said on this

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I Am Athlete podcast. They sat me down. They told

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>me what their plans were, how I fit into those plans,

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>And me and Braun truthfully didn't really fit into their

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>plans long term unless we were all willing to stay together.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>We didn't fit in to their long term outlook, basically

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>shedding cash and starting afresh, basically armageddoning the team. He's like, so, yeah,

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm working out of here, but he didn't tell Braun,

0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>and Braun thought it was about him, of course, because

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Braun is Bron sensitive. Let's be honest, like he's sensitive.

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>He's like Yrie, like, come on, man, Like I thought

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you're my little bro dude. Like I think Braun said

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>that too publicly. I didn't make just make that up.

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>He's like, man, I was like, I'm a little brother.

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>He didn't tell me he wanted to go. I wish

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I would have known, like I could have maybe helped him.

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>And this is now fascinating because Kyrie's in an interesting spot.

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>This was a very interesting time for an inner, given

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>that you're at the end of your contract and you

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>have a player option and you maybe could go somewhere else.

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Opens up a whole new range of imaginary imagination possibilities here.

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>He even said on the I Am Athlete podcast, I

0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>would probably be in LA right now if me and

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Lebron would have actually hashed this out and talked, oh boy,

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>oh boy. So I want to play a clip something

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>even more of what he said that just made me go, h,

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Let me just back that up and

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 1>play that again. Is he saying what I think he's saying.

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll probably be in LA right now, probably be traveling

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 2>with his backpack and I'm joking, man, that was like,

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that was a time in my career I look back

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>on and we've had conversations, me and Bron plenty of conversations.

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 2>So cool shout out because I was in the same

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>maturity lovel I am now and understanding who I am,

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 2>and I look back on that time, then we definitely

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>definitely would have won more championship the other because there

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>would have been a better man to man understanding about

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.160
<v Speaker 2>what I'm going through I could. I didn't know how

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>to share my emotions. Yeah, I didn't know how to

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 2>do that. So instead of sharing, I isolated myself and

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I just started pouring myself more into the game of basketball.

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 2>And I had one of my better seasons, but I

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>wasn't connecting with everybody as much during our championship year.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 2>So in twenty seventeen, it was a different year for us.

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 2>So we went against Golden State, We went against a

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 2>great team. When you're not a great team and you're

0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 2>not clicking on all selling the others and together, you're

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 2>easily defeatable, you're defeated before you can get to the arena.

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 2>We were in those games against Golden State. But we

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 2>definitely could have get a run for that money.

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow, we definitely would have won more championships together. Instead

0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>of sharing, I isolated myself and threw myself into my work,

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 1>into the game, right. Yeah, And Kyrie had one of

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 1>his best statistical seasons. He granted it out, but he

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't you know how when you are so focused

0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>on work, you make no time for anyone else, You

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.959
<v Speaker 1>make no time to connect, you make no time to enjoy.

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.199
<v Speaker 1>That was basically Kyrie. Kyrie was in a spiral of

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>his self. He was just reconnecting with his native American

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 1>anterest sucesstory. Like, I think that's pretty true. He says

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that earlier on the podcast. It's not even any shade,

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't really know his place in the world

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and how the game was a part of a larger

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>picture that was unrelated to the game. This is all

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 1>quotes from the podcast. You have to go back. I'm

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>not gonna play the whole thing for you. It all

0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>get sued. But so that's why they said Kyrie wasn't

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>talking to anyone in that last year. It's like because

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.560
<v Speaker 1>the man was like apparently isolating himself away from the

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 1>rest of the squad, they won it, and then the

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>next year he was like done. Notice though he didn't

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>say him and Broun would have won more championships together

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>in Cleveland, he probably would have just initiated some way

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>of going to whatever place the lebron would have gone,

0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>which is why he said I'd probably be in LA

0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>right now. A lot of rumbling right now going on

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>whether the Nets are gonna sign him to a max contract.

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was fascinating. The whole interview is fascinating.

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Go watch it. Also pac Man Jones, he sucks. Like,

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're not an NFL fan, like you don't even

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm talking about. But this guy is awful

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 1>on the field, off the field, just a terrible, terrible person.

0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Also just annoying anyway, interesting stuff. He's on that pod.

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.359
<v Speaker 1>Can't cannot wait. He's on that pod. That's not like Ane.

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 1>He's on the pod. It's Brandon. What's Brandon's last name again?

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Brent Marshall, Ye, Brandon Marshall, Shady McCoy and pac Man Jones.

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>What a ragtag crew for a podcast. Love it. Pac

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Man Jones always talking over everyone else, The King of crosstalk,

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>can sucks like Also, like it's Kyrie Irving's interview, you

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>should got pac Man about what Kyrie Irving was looking

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 1>to do. Okay, anyway, that's a total total side road.

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Listen to the pod. The nets are in a quandary

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and Kyrie is talking about how he wishes he would

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>have won more championships Lebron James by being more vulnerable.

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 1>This feels pretty vulnerable to me. Laker's looking to trade pieces,

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Lebron saying he has more could be an interesting thing.

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Or Anthony Davis and Kevin Durant makes me wonder if

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>there is a possibility that we could see Kyrie and

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Braun reunite. I would love to see it, and I

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>think they would love to see it. The question is

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 1>whether the franchises that are moving the pieces, whether LEGM

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and La Kyrie, can make that shit happen. I'm sure

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 1>le Broun remembers how good he was with Kyrie. I

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>am sure Kyrie remembers how easy it was besides Lebron

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>telling him he needs to play all the games. Like

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 1>with Lebron, I strongly believe the Lakers would die to

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>have Kyrie Irving on this team, and I suspect Sean

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Marks would also be happy to let him go. All

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>things being said, a lot of baggage they're not sure

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>they can come back from, and I don't even think

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>they've spoken yet about his extension. But I am very

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:49.040
<v Speaker 1>very excited to see whether these recent comments turn in

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to something bigger than just an interview.
