Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

58
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 4: I was counting the minutes from when we last signed

59
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: off in our emergency broadcast. I haven't. I've been literally

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: sitting in this chair just waiting for this day, for

61
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: this moment to come. So I'm very, very thrilled to

62
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 4: be here and I can't wait to keep going right

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 4: until July twenty second or third or whatever.

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: But who's counting it? Who's counting? Who's counting? Yeah, We're

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: going to Tokyo after that, JD.

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: Did anybody get up to anything interesting in these last

67
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: two weeks? I assume nobody really went anywhere.

68
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: Right, no way to go. That's about it.

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 5: I tell you, I tell you. Where I did go

70
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: last night was back up into my attic because I'm

71
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: not sure if you remember, but a few weeks ago

72
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: I had some tiles, like some shingles blow off my

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 5: ceiling and last night I was restless asleep. It was

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: a bit of a warm night that started pouring with Ryan.

75
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: It was thought a windy and I'm like, oh my god.

76
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: So I went up to the attic glass. I was

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: a whike anyway, and I thought, I'm just gonna check

78
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 5: it out because we'll get them. We've had some new

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 5: shingles and so far though so far it appears is

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 5: either roof remains intact. Okay, yeah, there you guys. So

81
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: I went to the attic.

82
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: Man, I went to the attic. It's incredible.

83
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: Okay, well we are we are back and excited here

84
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: for another season and no dunks with the Athletic.

85
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: And we usually do this at the start of the season.

86
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: We get into our NBA season previews by tackling some

87
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: burning questions. This is going to be a five part series,

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: so all week long, so make sure you've subscribed to

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: no dunks. Wherever you listen to, no dunks. This is

90
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: part one of five dropping all week long. Like I said,

91
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: so the first question tasks, I'm gonna throw it at you.

92
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: You get us started. Biggest threat to the Lakers? You know,

93
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: I assume we're going to focus on the Western Conference.

94
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: But with which team do you think is the biggest

95
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: threat to the Lakers.

96
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: It's the Clippers. Yeah, let's do it again, same as

97
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: last season. The years are exactly the same, right, everything

98
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: exactly the same. But I do think it's the Clippers.

99
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: And I think it's easy to forget after the way

100
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: they went out of the playoffs and everybody making fun

101
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: of them because of them dropping three straight games against

102
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets after going up three one in the

103
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: second round. It's easy to forget they were the second

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: seed during the regular season. And I think they're going

105
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: to rectify some things that were awry that really set

106
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: them off the wrong direction during the regular season. First,

107
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: they're healthier. Paul George is not coming off shoulder surgery,

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 3: So Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are going to play

109
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 3: a bunch more games together this year, and I think

110
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 3: they'll probably play more games than Lebron James and Anthony

111
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: Davis together. I know that's kind of dum dumb thing

112
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: to say right now, because Kahi Leonard always takes games off,

113
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: but Lebron is going to be chilling because he played

114
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: so late into the season. So I think that chemistry

115
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: is going to be a focus for them. Let's play,

116
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: let's get on the same page, because that obviously fell

117
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: apart during the regular season, and that's the reason why

118
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: they went and got Serge Ibaka. He is a great

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: glue guy. I'm not saying Montrez Harold, the guy he's replacing,

120
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: was the problem. But Montrez Harold did take it to

121
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: the streets. He put the business out on the streets.

122
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: I don't think Serge Ibaka is going to do that.

123
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: He's a friend of Kawhi Leonard. They want a championship

124
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: together and he's a guy who can play down the

125
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: stretch unlike Montres Harrel. So I think there's improvement in

126
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: the locker room, on the floor, and again that focus

127
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: is going to be on chemistry. And then the Luke

128
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: Canard trade that they made as an unheralded one, Luke

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: Canard coming from the Pistons where Listen, A lot of

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: casual fans don't know who Luke Canard is because nobody's

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 3: watching Pistons basketball. But he's a playmaker off the bench.

132
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: I think he could be the de facto point guard

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: at the end of games. He's just a really solid guy.

134
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: Because sometimes things got stagnant with the Clippers, Luke Canard

135
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: can be that player. And listen. I think people will say,

136
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: what about the Denver Nuggets. They went to the conference

137
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: finals and they beat the Clippers. That's true. I think

138
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 3: they've got some their own problems themselves. Michael Porter Junior

139
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: is going to be relied on a lot this season

140
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 3: because they let Jeremy Grank go. But I think they're

141
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: number three with a bullet right there. People putting the

142
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: Blazers above them, I think that's a little nuts. I

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: think they're right behind the Clippers. And again, Clippers, despite

144
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: those problems in the locker room problems which will be

145
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: a focus this season to get things together and to

146
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: keep shit in house, no talk into the media, they

147
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: were still number two and I think they will be

148
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: again number two over the Denver Nuggets, who I'm looking

149
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: forward to. But you said, you know, the Eastern Conference

150
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: will avoid for this question, but I don't know. I

151
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: think the East is a little more interesting, even though

152
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: they don't have one through ten as good as teams

153
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: as the West. Ten eleven teams can make it in

154
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: the West. There's more teams that can make it out

155
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: of the East with the Heat, Celtics obviously, the Bucks,

156
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: the Nets, the Sixers, and Raptors if you're reaching. But

157
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Clippers have a legitimate shot

158
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: to get the number one seed because I think Lebron

159
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: and Ader are going to rest a bit.

160
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: Okay, well, before I ask you the same question, I

161
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: saw the Ringer. They did their twenty twenty one NBA tiers, right,

162
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: and if you just focus on the Western Conference, they

163
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: had the favorites as the Lakers, and you can agree

164
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: or disagree on that the.

165
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: Contenders as the Clippers.

166
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: Tasks picked there the Mavericks and the Nuggets and then

167
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: playoff Locks, Jazz, Blazers, Suns, Warriors, and Rockets. Now I'm

168
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: not great at the maths, but that's nine teams there,

169
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: so somebody, well, yeah, that's true. Now we'll get that's

170
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: a whole other question that we'll get to eventually. Later on,

171
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: is the play in tournament actually making the lasts anyway?

172
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: Do you agree with those tiers and of those teams

173
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: that I just listed, is there someone else besides the

174
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: Clippers tray that you think is the biggest threat in

175
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: the West to take down Lebron and Eddie Well?

176
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 6: I didn't read the piece, but I would say I

177
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 6: agree with the tier that the Lakers are far and

178
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 6: away the best team. They were the best team last year.

179
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 6: They got better this year. You tend to get better

180
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 6: playing your second time around. We remember the heat after

181
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 6: they won their first championship. They were even better the

182
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 6: second go around. So I'm with task there. I think

183
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 6: the Lakers are going to still be the team to beat,

184
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 6: and I would imagine the Clippers are the team that's

185
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 6: right there challenging them. I think even if Sir Jebaka

186
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 6: coming in, even if the biggest thing he brings his chemistry,

187
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: that's a huge win as well. And not to mention

188
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 6: it just simplifies things for ty Lew during the stretch.

189
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 6: Down the stretch last year, it would be are we

190
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 6: going with our offensive big guy in Montrez Harrell or

191
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,119
Speaker 6: our defensive big guy in zubots Now You've got Sirgebacca,

192
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 6: who's kind of gonna be able to fill both of

193
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 6: those roles. It's a little bit easier choice, a little

194
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 6: bit easier fit. And then I do think I have

195
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 6: the nuggets there. Despite the fact that they're asking a

196
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 6: lot from Michael Porter Junior this year, with Jeremy Grant

197
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 6: going to the Pistons to apparently handle the ball, they're

198
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 6: all in on Michael Porter Junior being able to figure

199
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 6: out defense enough that he can stay on the court

200
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 6: playing against some of these wings in the Western Conference,

201
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 6: and they're asking him to take another step forward as

202
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 6: a playmaker, as a scorer, as somebody who's gonna be

203
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 6: able to contribute eighteen to twenty points a night. I

204
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 6: think they can do it. I like the size that

205
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 6: Porter gives them alongside Jokic to be able to at

206
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 6: least combat the height of the Lakers. They're still gonna

207
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 6: be a big team out there, no doubt. When they're

208
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 6: going with Lebron in AD eighties, just such a matchup

209
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 6: problem that I don't know if anybody's able to handle on.

210
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 7: In the league.

211
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 6: If he's your second best player, you're in a good spot.

212
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 6: But I do have a little bit of confidence in

213
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 6: the Nuggets. That being said, it's gonna be a slow start,

214
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 6: That's how it always is. Maybe the fact that the

215
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 6: season is starting in December this year means we don't

216
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 6: have the typical Jokic November swoon, so he's an.

217
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: MVP right away.

218
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 6: I don't know, I'm feeling confident in the Nuggets showing

219
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 6: up again this year, but I do think the Lakers

220
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 6: are still head and shoulders above both of those two.

221
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Nuggets, I mean, we forget they didn't

222
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: have Will Barton there in that pretty, you know, impressive

223
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: run in the playoffs, and so he's back in the mix.

224
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: He should be healthy. So that's another body there. They

225
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: could make a move too. They obviously have a lot

226
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: of talent they could package together. Maybe they go and

227
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: try and get a big, big name around the deadline

228
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: if they're struggling a little bit. Okay, so you got

229
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: the Nuggets, you got the Clippers. Lee, Is there anyone

230
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: else or are you? Are you agreeing with these guys

231
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: that you can talk yourself into to being a threat

232
00:10:59,200 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: to the Laker.

233
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really hard to make a strong case for

234
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 5: another team in the Western Conference. Because the Rockets I

235
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 5: don't think are going to be there. I don't think

236
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 5: the Thunder anywhere close. I think the Mavericks are still

237
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 5: not quite there competing at that level just yet, especially

238
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 5: if Paorzingis is out for an extended period. We know

239
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 5: he's going to miss the first couple of games here.

240
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 5: So it's very, very hard to see anyone who's better

241
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: than the Lakers, because I think the Lakers got better

242
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 5: than anyone else in the offseason too, with the moves

243
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: that they made, and now that Anthony Davis has his championship,

244
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 5: I think he's going to have that championship swag this

245
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: season where he's just going to feel so much more confident,

246
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 5: where he doesn't need to put his stamp on the

247
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 5: game necessarily during the regular season. He knows come playoff time,

248
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 5: that's when he's going to have to stand up and

249
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 5: really start dominating. So I think the Lakers do cruise

250
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 5: little bit. But I'm out on the Clippers right now

251
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 5: until they really show me that they have gotten over

252
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 5: those chemistry problems. I don't think the Clippers are a

253
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 5: second of the second team in the Western Conference right

254
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 5: now because a lot of this I think falls on

255
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 5: Kawhi Leonard number one, and then Paul George number two,

256
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 5: because Jovann Bouja had a really good deep dive article

257
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 5: on the Clippers season last week for The Athletic. It

258
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: was a fantastic job there, and a lot of the

259
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: problems I think stem from the fact that Kawhi and

260
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: Paul George got such special treatment that it rubbed up

261
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 5: so many of the guys the other way. And this season,

262
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 5: I think the emphasis falls back on those leaders to

263
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 5: be like, yep, okay, we got it wrong. We've got

264
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: to be more of a team here and more of

265
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: a team player, and by doing things, by not just

266
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 5: taking games off whenever they feel like it. It's a

267
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 5: shortened season, there's only seventy two games, so things will

268
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 5: probably be a little bit compact now. I expect, of

269
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 5: course Kawhi will miss some games. But last season, I

270
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 5: think when you look back at it now, there were

271
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 5: some warning signs there that he was just in his

272
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 5: own world, and I think it did come back to

273
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 5: haunt the Clippers. So I think the emphasis now falls

274
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 5: on him to be more of a team player, and

275
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 5: I want to see that from the start. I remember,

276
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 5: you know, in the Raptors. He was missing, sitting out

277
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: games really early into the season. I want to see

278
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 5: him out there now playing all these games at the

279
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 5: start and just showing that he's changed and he's adapting

280
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 5: to become a better team player, because I think if

281
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 5: your leader is the guy who is being a bad

282
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 5: leader by example, then how rest of the team falling

283
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 5: behind that. So that's something I'm looking for this season

284
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 5: for the Clippers, and until they do that, I'm out

285
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 5: on them. I'm I'm not putting them in that same

286
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 5: bracket as the Lakers. And for the Nuggets, I was

287
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: disappointed they lost Jeremy Grant. I think that they're going

288
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 5: to miss him. I think that's a big blow. But

289
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 5: on the counter to that, I'm really excited to see

290
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray this season because he was incredible down in

291
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 5: the bubble. But remember, you know we talk about Nikola

292
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 5: jokicchu gets off to a bit of a slow start.

293
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 5: Jamal Murray was the same last season. He really didn't

294
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 5: get it going in that first bit of the season

295
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 5: and it wasn't until really down in the bubble where

296
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 5: he really got cooking. So now I want to see

297
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 5: him from day one from game one take that step up,

298
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 5: because I think Jamal Murray, if he's not an All

299
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 5: Star this year, I think that will be a disappointment.

300
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: I think he was that good down there and he's

301
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 5: shown that potential. So right now I would have the Nuggets,

302
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 5: I guess second. But ultimately you can throw a blanket

303
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 5: over the rest of the Western Conference themes. The Lakers

304
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 5: are just far too good. They're healthy, they're fresh, they

305
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: they've got a deep bench, they're well coached, They've got

306
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 5: all the ingredients to certainly go back to back as

307
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 5: we sit here right now.

308
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 2: Would you bet, though, on the Lakers to have the

309
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: number one seed in the Western Conference tow orly or anyone.

310
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean like saying, Lebron knows that you don't

311
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: need to have it. It's not a musking for him.

312
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 5: And other teams like the Nuggets and again the Clippers,

313
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: they really want to sort of I think, send that

314
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: message at their serious and they could go for it.

315
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 5: So I'm not convinced the Lakers will get it. But

316
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 5: even when the Lakers are going at eighty percent, I

317
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 5: can't see them finishing any lower than the second best

318
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 5: seed in the West.

319
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: You agree to us, well, last year, the Clippers finished

320
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 3: three and a half games behind the Lakers and Paul

321
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: George was coming off shoulder surgery. I think Lebron, I'm sorry,

322
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: Kawhi and Paul George played thirty two games together going

323
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: into the bubble is a real low number. And the

324
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: focus this year is going to be, hey, don't don't

325
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: screw around, let's get this together from the get go,

326
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: and Lebron needy. They're sitting out preseason games at this point,

327
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: Kawhi and Paul George are playing, So the Lakers are

328
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: definitely the best team. But I think Clippers have, yeah,

329
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: a legitimate shot here at taking the number one seed

330
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: for sure.

331
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: They should have that chip on their shoulder. I can't

332
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: wait till we start calling them the La Chippers. You

333
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: can see a company. I know what's happening. Give me

334
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: two months and we'll be calling them the La Chippers.

335
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree with you guys.

336
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean it feels like the Lakers got buy and

337
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: far better than most of these other teams, like you

338
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: just went through with all these squads. So I won't

339
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: repeat what you guys said. I will say sort of

340
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: like a wild card pick for me, if I had

341
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: to like really squint and really search for another team

342
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: that could put some fear into some of these teams.

343
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: At the top was a team you know that was

344
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: there in the playoffs last year as an eight seed,

345
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: sneaking in in the Portland Trailblazers, but were much better

346
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: than an eight seed. I mean, this was the thing

347
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: because they were injured all year. I liked what they

348
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: did in the offseason two. You know, traded for an

349
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 2: elite three and D guy and Robert Comington.

350
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: That's big.

351
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: You're gonna need a guy like that to put on

352
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: the quis and to put on the Lebron's and stuff

353
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: like that. Signed Derek Jones Junior for two years nineteen million. Okay,

354
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: you know, re signed Rodney Hood, who prior to his

355
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: injury was actually pretty solid for them. Canter's in to

356
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: replace Whiteside. Your team's always gonna get better when white

357
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: Side leaves. Everybody knows that took a flyer.

358
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 7: On here Canter defense.

359
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: And they resigned Carmela Anthony for the one year VET minimum.

360
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: So I like those moves. And oh yeah, Damian Lillard

361
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: is still incredible. Like I was blown away when I

362
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: went and looked at Damian Lillard's basketball reference page. I'm like,

363
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: I forgot Lillard averaged thirty points per game last year

364
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: and eight assists, you know the four boards, like like

365
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: unbelievable numbers, Like that's crazy, and I don't know why.

366
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: It's sort of like glossed over me or washed over me.

367
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: But he's incredible. We know that you still got am Calum.

368
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: You got damn good team if they're all healthy. So

369
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be much better obviously, if everybody

370
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: stays healthy, then they were in eight seed, and I

371
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: think they could be challenging some of these other squads

372
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: that you guys mentioned, though Hollander pointed out he's doing

373
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: great team previews. The one thing they didn't do is

374
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: sign a backup point guard, and yeah, that feels like

375
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: a minor thing, but they don't have one because they're

376
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: still guest banking on Simmons being that guy who was

377
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: really really bad in that role. Int he was rough,

378
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: So he'll be a third year guy now, so maybe

379
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: he's improved. But I liked what the Blazers did when

380
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: they still have Lillard. Do you guys still got a

381
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: star and all those other pieces? Yeah, I could talk

382
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: myself into them taking down on one of these teams.

383
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna need.

384
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: To get some stops, and luckily they got some guys

385
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: to help them play a little bit better defense. Before

386
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 2: we move on, though, Trey, I gotta set you up

387
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: with this one. There's a bit of a softball what'd

388
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: you think of the Paul George extension?

389
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 6: Look skeets Last year, after the Clippers flamed out of

390
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 6: the playoffs blowing a three to one lead to a

391
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 6: team that everybody thought they were gonna beat, I took

392
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 6: an oath and said, I'm not hating on Paul George

393
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 6: when the next season comes around.

394
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 7: So I gotta just.

395
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 6: Say, an incredible deal for him to get all that money.

396
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 7: Is the premiere three and D guard in the NBA.

397
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 6: Yes, So if you can lock in a three and

398
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 6: D guy for five years at a super max a

399
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 6: contract that basically every team has regretted thus far after

400
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 6: signing him, you gotta do it.

401
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: I saw you tweeting about the Paul George extension. I

402
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: mean you were sort of taking the stance of like,

403
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: I mean, this is nothing new. You have to do

404
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 2: this if you're the Clippers. After training away so many

405
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: guys to get him and pairing him with Kawai. Right,

406
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: that the extension was inevitable.

407
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 3: Most teams, I think, do it despite him having a

408
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 3: bad playoffs. But if Kawhi leaves, then it looks terrible.

409
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: And if Kawi stays, then it's probably gonna look pretty good,

410
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: right right.

411
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 5: Anything to add to that, well, I saw someone tweeting

412
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 5: and I can't remember who it was, but it was

413
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 5: a respected twitter rat saying that the Clippers actually tested

414
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: the waters on trading him before signing him to that contract,

415
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 5: which was interesting. That would have just been that would

416
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 5: have just blown up. We had another emergency. Part, of course,

417
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 5: George gets traded so interesting that the Clippers just thought,

418
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: I wonder what his value is. Nah, well let's just

419
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,239
Speaker 5: lock him up, keep it as an asset, because, as

420
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 5: you're saying, if he was a free he potentially could

421
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 5: have left after this season for nothing. So now they're like,

422
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 5: all right, we just got to keep hold of this

423
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 5: guy because at his best, he's a very very good player.

424
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 5: But he wasn't at his best down in the bubble.

425
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 3: All right.

426
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: Next question here in our burning question season previous series,

427
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: toughest team to predict this is always a fun question, Trey,

428
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: Why are you get to started? Who are you just

429
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: struggling to wrap your head around? How good are the

430
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets gonna be? That's the question to me.

431
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 6: If you said in twenty nineteen, you got Kevin Durant,

432
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 6: you got Kyrie Irving, You've got all the great role

433
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 6: players the Nets have, that's a title contender right there.

434
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 6: But in reality, we got Kevin Durant coming off a

435
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 6: major injury. We got Kyrie Irving coming off his own

436
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 6: surgery and obviously making waves with his takes off the court.

437
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 6: The continuity, the chemistry, the culture that was there in

438
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 6: Brooklyn that lured KD and Kyrie gone, they're just the

439
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 6: super team now. Also, it's pretty possible that this isn't

440
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 6: their team in three months. This could not be their

441
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 6: team in three weeks. We have no idea what the

442
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 6: Nets are going to look like come playoff time. Honestly

443
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 6: thought we were going to be doing an emergency podcast

444
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 6: for James Harden being traded there the day after we

445
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 6: did the one for Russell Westbrook going to the Wizards.

446
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 7: I think the Nets are going to be great.

447
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 6: To me, they're probably gonna be the best team in

448
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 6: the Eastern Conference if they can get on the same page,

449
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 6: which looks like it's gonna be a problem at some points.

450
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 6: But even when they're not on the same page, they're

451
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 6: still gonna be pretty good. It's just preseason, but kd

452
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 6: looked great, Hyrie looked great, and those are two walking

453
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 6: buckets right there. Those guys are ambulatory waste baskets. You

454
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 6: can get some hoops. They're gonna score. Will they be

455
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 6: good enough defensively?

456
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 7: I don't know.

457
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 6: But when you've got Spencer Dinwiddie and Carris Lavert attacking

458
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 6: the third and fourth best defender, you're in a good

459
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 6: spot at least offensively. They've got fifteen head coaches plus

460
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 6: another four head coaches on the bench. I think they're

461
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 6: gonna be good, but it could all end up being

462
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 6: a disaster. With the way Kyrie and Kadie have been

463
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 6: off the court. Maybe the chemistry is a huge problem.

464
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 7: They just did that.

465
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: Instagram live and it was impossible to tell. Does Kyrie

466
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 6: Irving really want to post up ten times a game?

467
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 7: Is that what the Nuts want?

468
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 6: Their point guard running the post ups when they've got

469
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: a seven foot scoring machine on the wing too.

470
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 7: I don't know. But I cannot wait.

471
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 8: To see Kevin Durant looked a little uncomfortable in that

472
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 8: Instagram live if you ask when Kyrie was saying, he

473
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 8: was him in a former live kind of like.

474
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 5: What are we doing here?

475
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Man?

476
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 7: This is live.

477
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 5: Everyone's watching this right now. So yeah, but it's a

478
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 5: good pick because of that. I think on the court,

479
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 5: there's no question the talent is there. But Kyrie has

480
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 5: brought attention to that team already by calling media porn,

481
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 5: saying he's not going to do media this year. That's

482
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: a hell that he's going to die. Yeah, not porn.

483
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: At least media porn.

484
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 5: But the thing is Kyrie, Kyrie is not going to

485
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 5: win this battle with the media. He's going to lose

486
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 5: that battle. So the quicker that he sort of gets

487
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 5: over that and starts doing his media, the better for

488
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 5: the team, because ultimately, it's a very selfish thing that

489
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 5: he's doing by saying I'm not talking to media, because

490
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 5: that all that means is his teammates are going to

491
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 5: get asked all the questions, his coaching staff is going

492
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: to get asked this question time again. He's going to

493
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 5: continue to get fine, the team will get fined and Ultimately,

494
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 5: I think the NBA would just suspend him if he

495
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: doesn't do it. So that's something that I don't think

496
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 5: that team wants going into this season. I think they

497
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 5: want to start as fresh as possible, and so they

498
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 5: probably wanted Kyrie to get over that as quickly as

499
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 5: he can and just focus on the basketball.

500
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 2: Okay, what do you think of that there? Will Kyrie

501
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: just get over it?

502
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: Yes, he didn't. After Game one of the preseason, he

503
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 3: didn't answer any questions. I wonder if it's I don't know,

504
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 3: it's kind of lessened because they're not doing media in person,

505
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 3: so it's it's guys just going up and sitting on

506
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 3: a chair in front of a camera. So I think

507
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: I think the effect of Kyrie not doing it is

508
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: lesson upon his teammates. I think his teammates would hate

509
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: it more if they're in a locker room and Kyrie

510
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: just showers and gets out of there real quick. But yeah,

511
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: I definitely wonder what happens when they're on a losing

512
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: streak and Kyrie's not doing interviews. And I also wonder

513
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 3: if the NBA is going to continue to find him.

514
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: They've only find him once and that was on media day.

515
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: He didn't do media after Game one of the preseason.

516
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: Is it going to be twenty five K after twenty

517
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: five K after twenty five K? Are they going to

518
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: count ig live as media days. I think he's gonna

519
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: get hit every single time. And I don't think he's

520
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 3: coming back for this season. Why would he come back.

521
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 5: They'll suspend him if he doesn't. I think there's no

522
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 5: way the NBA is just gonna keep finding him like

523
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 5: twenty five grand. I think those fines will escalate because

524
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 5: it's in his contract, for one, and the NBA just

525
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 5: simply doesn't allow people to, especially a star player, to

526
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 5: say okay, that's fine, because if he does it, then

527
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 5: you know other players will start doing it. Well, David

528
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 5: Liwett wants him to do his media, so his peers

529
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 5: want him to do the media, and it's just something

530
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: that the NBA will not tolerate, There's no question about it.

531
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 5: So I think if he doesn't do it, the fines

532
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 5: will get bigger and bigger and bigger, and then they'll

533
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 5: just say, all right, we're going to suspend you until

534
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 5: you do it. That's my belief anyway.

535
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't said anything after Game one

536
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 3: of the preseason, though. That leads me to believe that

537
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: it's just kind of up in the air. They don't

538
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: know what to do with this unprecedented situation right now

539
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 3: where a guy says, Hey, I'm playing chess. I love

540
00:23:59,119 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 3: the Queen's gambit.

541
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been watching a lot of Queen's camit. That

542
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: was obvious. Yeah for sure, call everybody. Why doesn't he

543
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: just do like the classic like, uh was it Marshawn Lynch, like,

544
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: just show up and say, you know, no comment to

545
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 2: every hair.

546
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 6: So I don't get fined. Yeah, Marsh said, that's probably

547
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 6: what will happen. I don't know, though, I mean Magic

548
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 6: Johnson did a press boycott once, and that guy's a legend.

549
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 6: You know, there have been players who have decided not

550
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 6: to talk to the media. I also don't think uh,

551
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 6: Kyrie necessarily will keep that same energy for the entire season,

552
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 6: Like you're saying, Lee, once the fines start coming down, eventually,

553
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 6: you can just show up just to show up.

554
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 7: But can you blame him? Nobody likes sitting on zoom

555
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 7: for hours and hours at a time. The guy go up,

556
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 7: has his job, then he's got to go back on zoom.

557
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 7: It sucks.

558
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 3: Come on, come on.

559
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 2: I know you're a Kyrie fan. I know you're one

560
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: of the Kings. You're not a pond because he talks

561
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: to you and he respects you.

562
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 6: But there's four people in the media he likes and

563
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: they're all on this podcast.

564
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 7: Yeah.

565
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 2: Well, hey, look, let's extend the offer out there. Then

566
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: if Kyrie wants to come on No Dunks, we can

567
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: do late night shows. We'll do the you know, classic

568
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: bring back the Bubble rap basically JD. You're not gonna

569
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: like to hear this, but we'll have Kyrie on and

570
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: will ask him the questions, maybe because we're the only

571
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: media he trusts apparently. Yeah, this is crazy, but that's

572
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 2: a great pick the Nets.

573
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

574
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I got pretty excited having Kevin Durant back.

575
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's just preseason basketball and Kyrie

576
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: and Steph Curry. Like watching these guys again, you're like, yeah,

577
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: this is this is fun. And Katie especially, he looks solid.

578
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: They're playing the Wizards.

579
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: I get it.

580
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: In preseason basketball, doesn't any of it really matter? No,

581
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 2: I don't really put too much stock into it, but

582
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: you know he's moving well and obviously looked fairly explosive,

583
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: and why would the jumper leave him that's not going

584
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: anywhere that little turn and face and splash, And then

585
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: you had Sarah Kustock.

586
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: Going whoo whoo.

587
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be fun getting to watch Kevin Durant here

588
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 2: for a full season if you're Coustock, So yeah, that's

589
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: a good pick. Who you got task as a tough

590
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: team to predict?

591
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: Or are you going? Also with the nets? The nets are

592
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: a great one. I do want to see Kyrie in

593
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: the post and he did want to run one of

594
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: those plays yesterday where he just scoops right in and

595
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: the way behind him, so it wasn't like a traditional

596
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 3: post play. But we're gonna see Kyrie, Kyrie and Kad

597
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 3: and all those coaches run some clever stuff. It's gonna

598
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: be a blast watching those guys. I don't want this

599
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 3: to be Kevin Durant's older phase yesterday, and maybe just

600
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: it's because he's balding, but I was watching him and

601
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 3: he looks so athletic and so freakish. I'm just and

602
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 3: he's thirty two and he's been through so much. I

603
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: just don't want this to be the older phase of

604
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant's career, but he's just freaking amazing, So it's

605
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 3: not it's not that part, you know, you know, you

606
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: know when you get to a guy's older career and

607
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 3: he's moving just a tiny bit slower and he's operating

608
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: more in the post. But I think they have a

609
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: legitimate shot to win the Eastern Conferences. There's just too

610
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: much talent on there and they're gonna They came together

611
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 3: for a reason and they have been chopping at the bid.

612
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: It was cool to see Kevin Durant say I felt

613
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: nervous out there because he signed a year and a

614
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 3: half ago and he hasn't been able to play. They're great.

615
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: Another team that's great that could be also on the

616
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 3: sort of borderline playoff bubble in the Western Conference I

617
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 3: think are the Dallas Mavericks. Luca could carry this team

618
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 3: to a top four seed, no question, but they're not

619
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: that deep in the front court, especially with christophs porzing

620
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: Is being injured to start the season. Dwight Powell and

621
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 3: then Willie coley Stein are gonna have to carry the load.

622
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: And Dwight Powell coming off an injury himself, will Willy

623
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 3: Coley Stein have to play a ton of minutes. And

624
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: then on the wings, they got a bunch of guys

625
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: that sort of makes sense around Luca. You know, they're

626
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: hard Nos three and D guys James Johnson, West I

627
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: wand Doriy and Finney Smith, but not that deep in

628
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: the talent and offensive talent department. And then the ball handlers.

629
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 3: Maybe Josh Richardson coming over from Philly can work with

630
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 3: Luca and not having to be a ball handler like

631
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: he wasn't in Philadelphia. Sure, Seth Curry's gone though, and

632
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: then you got Jalen Brunson. It's Tim Hardaway. So if

633
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 3: Christops Porzingis is out, it does fall out on a

634
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: lot on him if he's out for an extended period

635
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 3: of time in that tough West where they have kept

636
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: the powder dry basically for the free agency crop in

637
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. Here they've got max room. They didn't

638
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 3: go out and spend a ton of money. Maybe it's

639
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 3: free Gannis or whoever. The West is tough. I okay

640
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: See is out as a playoff team. But you know

641
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: the twelve, thirteen, fourteen teams that are projected to land

642
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: in those spots like Sacramento Spurs, Minnesota they could still

643
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. Couple of those teams, Like, it is

644
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: going to be hard for the Dallas Mavericks, and so

645
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: I would put them in that pretty big range. I

646
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: wouldn't be wouldn't be crazy to see them miss the playoffs,

647
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: although they were seven seed last year and they played

648
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: a lot better than that. But everyone's going to be

649
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: ready for the Dallas Mavericks this season.

650
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were who it was specifically, but there was

651
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: one NBA pundit saying that the Mavericks were.

652
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: Not going to make the playoffs.

653
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: So there's someone agreeing with you, like sort of that

654
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: spectrum there, tasks of like, no, you could see them

655
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 2: be in top three, Luca goes to even another level

656
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: and is winning vps and who knows, they're still one

657
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 2: of the best offensive teams we've ever seen in history,

658
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: or you know, yeah, maybe they take a step back

659
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 2: here and are fighting at least to get into the playoffs.

660
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: So I can see it. I see where you're going there.

661
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: What you got, Lee, What team's tough to predict for you?

662
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 5: Well, team we've kind of forgotten about us, The Warriors

663
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 5: coming in now, because obviously losing Clay Thompson to that

664
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 5: achilles injury was a major blow to them. Last season.

665
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 5: Of course, Draymond was very, very bad. He didn't look good.

666
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: Steph Curry messed what eight weeks or something with a

667
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 5: broken finger. The Warriors just kind of mailed it in

668
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 5: by the end of the last season. So coming back now,

669
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 5: everyone was healthy until a couple of weeks ago when

670
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 5: they lost Clay, and you just wonder, now, where are

671
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 5: the Warriors in the Western Conference? Are they a legit

672
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 5: contender today? I don't think so. I don't think so.

673
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 5: I think they're better than they were last season, but

674
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 5: missing Clay is going to be a big blown Now

675
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: they've got Kelly Ubro who's come in. He's certainly no

676
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 5: replacement for Clay, but he's a replacement player. But obviously

677
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 5: as well, the big, big question for the Warriors is

678
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 5: what will they get out of Andrew Wiggins this season.

679
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 5: Wiggins is looking great, being jacked up. He's been in

680
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 5: the gym, he's been working out, and he's had obviously

681
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 5: a lot of time I think to sort of at

682
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 5: least acclimatize now to the Warriors and what they expect

683
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 5: from him. I think they're working very hard to try

684
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 5: to get the best out of him. But what is

685
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 5: the best of Andrew Wiggins? What is Is he a

686
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 5: guy who can be consistent? Give you twenty twenty No.

687
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the best. It's like five or six

688
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: weeks of lights out three point shooting, you know, twenty

689
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: five per game. You're talking yourself into him, You're buying

690
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: a subway sandwich shop on an island somewhere, You're getting

691
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 2: people to fly in, you're building some real estate. But

692
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 2: then it all blows up in your face. You can't

693
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 2: you can't put it together for you know, really a

694
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: full season. It's the biggest problem.

695
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 5: And that's the challenge for the Warriors, you know, because

696
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 5: it's like, if they can get him to play consistent,

697
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 5: I can see a scenario where he would lead that

698
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 5: team in scoring simply because he's so athletic, he so quick,

699
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 5: and they can I mean, I could see him getting

700
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 5: twenty seven twenty eight a game. I mean, Steph Fother

701
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 5: is crazy for this one where yeah, I'm just saying

702
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 5: Curry has going to always score more than I can

703
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 5: just envision a scenario. That's where Wiggins is at his

704
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 5: best right. Listen, we like to run, we like to

705
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 5: shoot threes. Just go out and do that. That's where

706
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: you're going to do. So I can see a scenario

707
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 5: with that's happening. But I can also see, as we

708
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: know from Wiggins from his years, he can go weeks

709
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 5: where you're just like, Okay, where the hell is this guy?

710
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can envision a scenario where Kelly Whubred

711
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: Junior is much better.

712
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

713
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 5: And I mean, like his career, Wiggins is at the

714
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 5: crossroads already as far as like is he going to

715
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 5: be labeled a bust or actually a guy who was

716
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 5: just a late bloomer, And so far he's leaning closer

717
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 5: towards bus. But this is a great situation for him,

718
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 5: I think there because they especially again with the Clay

719
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 5: Thompson injury, there's going to be so many more shots

720
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 5: and scoring opportunities for Andrew Wiggins. So we'll see, we'll see.

721
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just that, you know, I saw him on

722
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 5: Instagram the other day jacked and I'm like.

723
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 7: Hey, all right, act for sure.

724
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he he was one of those guys because

725
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 5: he was always so thin, you know, a little bit

726
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 5: of muscle just makes him look huge. So you know, anyway,

727
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 5: I'm excited to see I just you know again the

728
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 5: Warriors are they Are they a legit contender? I would

729
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 5: say not right now, but they have got some very

730
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 5: intriguing pieces on that roster.

731
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I've got a few teams i'll throw out here,

732
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: But first, I mean, when you're talking about the toughest

733
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 2: team to predict, the elephant in the room with all

734
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: of this is like how severely is COVID going to

735
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: affect these teams and the state of play?

736
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: Right?

737
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: I mean, who's to say, like, you know, multiple players

738
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: on a team they test positive and that could lead

739
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 2: to obviously their season being blown up, you know, the

740
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 2: postponement of games like who knows. So I mean I

741
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: think some players have been talking about like, yeah, who

742
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 2: which team is going to do the best of like

743
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: beating the virus? That could be pretty instrumental in a

744
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: team's success, And it's sort of true, but team wise,

745
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 2: so tough to predict. The Rockets have to be in

746
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: the mix for me because everything hinges on James Harden.

747
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: I know we'll eventually get here to talking about star

748
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 2: players being traded, and I'm sure we'll do a deep

749
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: dive on that possibility. But like, if James Harden is

750
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 2: still on your team, then your team is pretty damn good.

751
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean that's just the way it is. He's that elite.

752
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: So if he's there and he you know, does suit

753
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: up for them in regular season games alongside John Wall

754
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 2: who's back looks good in preseason, hasn't played a real

755
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: regular season game like twenty three months, Cousins coming off

756
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: you know, torn achilles and torn quads and torn acls

757
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: and all that. And then everybody thinks Christian Woods the

758
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: next best big thing, like could be a good team,

759
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: like still a decent team, but who knows. I mean,

760
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: these guys could get reinjured. Obviously, Harden could get traded,

761
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: and they could be like, you know, sort of tanking

762
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: in a way. So that's a tough one. And then

763
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 2: I'll say the Sixers, I think they're gonna be good,

764
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: but we're just gonna still be asking can you build

765
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: a championship contender around Embiid and Simmons. I've liked a

766
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 2: lot of the pieces that they've added, obviously trying to

767
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 2: get some more shooting in there, especially Seth Curry. I

768
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: like it, but still it's still to me a big

769
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: question mark. I could see them being the best team

770
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: in the East going to the finals, and I also

771
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: could see them losing in the first round super easily

772
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: depending on a matchup or something like that, and what

773
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: you're getting from Embid and Simmons. So they're a fun

774
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: team to watch. Any other teams that are tough to

775
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: predict before we move on.

776
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 3: What about those Tampa A Raptors, Yeah exactly, yeah, yeah, no.

777
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: I have a question for you with that tat do

778
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: you think it will be a major disadvantage or is

779
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: it quite possibly an advantage having to obviously not play

780
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 2: in Toronto to play in Tampa be apart for the

781
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: most part from your family and the comforts of home,

782
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 2: Like you could see a why would be an obvious

783
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 2: disadvantage like well, geez, everybody else is like sleeping in

784
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 2: their own bed. But you know, Devil's Advocate is like,

785
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: maybe it's an advantage. It's that again, a bonding of

786
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 2: some sort, like you're in it together, You're in this

787
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: weird situation as a squad, and maybe that makes them,

788
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: you know, play better together and in the locker room

789
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: is better.

790
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 3: I don't know, what do you think? What's your take

791
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 3: on that? Yeah, I've gone back and forth, but I

792
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: don't think it's neither an advantage or a disadvantage. It's

793
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: not really that much of a bonding atmosphere. It's not

794
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 3: like you're playing on the road. You still are you

795
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 3: sleeping in your own beds. You're not traveling together to Tampa.

796
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: It is your sort of your home base. So I

797
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 3: think that kind of goes out the window. You don't

798
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 3: have everybody doesn't have fans in their arenas. Generally, we'll

799
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: see what happens. You know, the Warriors are paying thirty

800
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 3: million bucks to get some fans in there. But I

801
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 3: think that's not in a disadvantage, right, And so I

802
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: think I don't think it plays either way. Really. I know,

803
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 3: guys generally go down to Orlando and then Miami when

804
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: they have, you know, two games back to back, and

805
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 3: people have some fun down there. So does Tampa get

806
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 3: thrown in that mix? I'm not sure. I haven't looked

807
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 3: at the schedules, Like maybe you go down to Tampa

808
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: and you're a little gas because you've played in Orlando

809
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: and Miami and that's for three games at four nights. Again.

810
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 7: Party at Busch Gardens.

811
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you go to Miami, you're tired, then

812
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 3: you go to Tampa, so that's where it comes into effect. Yeah,

813
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: not a lot of partying happened in Tampa unless JD

814
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 3: knows the spot. I've been down there. Everybody just gets

815
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 3: the heck out of Tampa. You're not partying at that

816
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: ugly baseball stadium. No offense, but that stadium is ugly. Yeah,

817
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 3: you got to go to Saint Pete's. Man, it's not Tampa.

818
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 4: It's it's down the road, just down the beach.

819
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know it's not a party town either.

820
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 3: Let's let's not put sat in that gap at all.

821
00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 2: Would you rather be in Tampa Bay during you know, December, January, February,

822
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: or in Toronto, JD, the worst possible months you could

823
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: ever be in.

824
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 3: That set Tampa Bay.

825
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 4: Although you know it's not a good time to ask

826
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 4: me because I haven't been home in a year. But

827
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 4: still I'd probably pick Tampa Bay.

828
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 5: Let's be honest.

829
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 2: You're wearing shorts today. It's so beautiful. Yeah, oh yeah,

830
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: probably got flurries up there in the six right now,

831
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: All right.

832
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 3: I was playing golf right now, yeah, is that an advantage?

833
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: Is he feeling good? I don't know.

834
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 2: Well, we will see trade. You have opinion on this.

835
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 2: Is it an advantage or disadvantage having to play in Tampa.

836
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 6: I think it's a huge disadvantage because there's no way

837
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 6: we're going to be getting any scarf content from the Raptors.

838
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 6: Searcher Baca is gone. They're playing in a warm climate.

839
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 6: I feel like they united around the scarves last year.

840
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 6: What are they gonna do for accessories in the twenty

841
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 6: twenty one season.

842
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 7: Only time will tell.

843
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lee, anything to add to this? What do you think, man?

844
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 5: I don't think it's great. I think they would be

845
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 5: better off being in their own city, in their own

846
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 5: houses and stuff like that. So I think it will

847
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 5: catch up to them the longer the season goes. Sorry,

848
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 5: I think a disadvantage for me.

849
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 3: Oh what about what teams generally hated crossing the border

850
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: having to pull out their passports through customs don't have

851
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 3: to do that anymore.

852
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right man, I'm telling you it could

853
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 2: be an advantage the Tampa Bay Raptors. You can buy

854
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 2: some fantastic bootleg merchandise too.

855
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 3: By the way, you guys. See, there was a forget.

856
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: The person's name, but incredible job mocking up a Tampa

857
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 2: Raptors Jersey's like it's like Pink and the Raptor like

858
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: little Logo's got shades on. I mean, it's it's really

859
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 2: well done. So just go go search for that.

860
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 3: All right.

861
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: Our next question here, you know, I sort of alluded

862
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 2: to it, which star player is most likely to be traded?

863
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: Lee get us started? Is it James Harden? Is that

864
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: the obvious answer to you got someone else?

865
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 5: Well, before I get into that, I just want to say,

866
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 5: right now, I have two trade machine tabs opened on

867
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 5: my oh.

868
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 3: My god, this guy has changed. Man, I might be coming.

869
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 5: Around on the trade machine. The one thing is, you know,

870
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 5: like whenever you put in a it's only players for players, right,

871
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 5: you can't add those sweetness like draft picks and future

872
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 5: assets and things like that, So you know, it's a

873
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 5: little bit it leaves you a little bit short. You

874
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 5: have to go to other places to see what sort

875
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 5: of draft assets teams have, like you know, the real

876
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 5: GM future detailed drafts, which is great. So anyway, I've

877
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 5: got two here for you guys. I'll throw them out

878
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 5: there then you can pick which one you want to do.

879
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 5: Let's start with the most obvious one here, James Harden.

880
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: I think it's a matter of time before he gets traded.

881
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 5: I was thinking he was going to the Brooklyn Nets,

882
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 5: but I actually think that's less likely now. I think

883
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 5: the Nets. I think the way Steve Nash has spoken,

884
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 5: I think he actually looks at this team and he goes,

885
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 5: Kevin and Kyrie, they need the ball. These guys are

886
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 5: going to be scoring. They need the ball. We need

887
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 5: periphery pieces around those guys, which I think they like

888
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 5: right now. I think adding James Harden, while he's clearly

889
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 5: a talented player, they would give up a lot of

890
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 5: their depth for another guy who needs the ball. So

891
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 5: I think, as we sit here today, I think the

892
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 5: Nets are like, let's just hold back. We don't need

893
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 5: him right now. So what I saw as well from

894
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 5: Mark Stein, one of the most respected reporters out there,

895
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 5: saying last week on a tweet that the Philadelphia seventy

896
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 5: six is for now. He said, and not going to

897
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 5: include Ben Simmons in a trade. And the Houston Rockets

898
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 5: are saying, well, we're not interested in trading James Harden

899
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: for now, Now the fact that Mark Stein is reporting

900
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 5: that tells me that there is a little bit of

901
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 5: smoke there. And clearly the Daryl Moury connection there in

902
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 5: Philadelphia now being coming from Houston makes me believe that

903
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 5: that might happen. Now that's starting to look at him,

904
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 5: because again, let's look at it first from the rocket standpoint.

905
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 5: They want talented players back, and they want some draft

906
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 5: compensation and things like that. Now Ben Simmons a young

907
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 5: star player, so you get you sort of tick that off.

908
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 5: Now he's not James Harden, but he's a star.

909
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 3: You're not going to do better than that.

910
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 5: No, exactly. I think he's like, Okay, that's the big

911
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 5: piece that we want. Then you need some filler around it. Now,

912
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 5: Danny Green would work just to make the contracts work

913
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 5: according to the trade machine that works right there, and

914
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 5: then you have to look at what else Philadelphia can offer.

915
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 5: And let me just bring it up because the Sixers

916
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 5: they they have a first round pick in twenty twenty two,

917
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,479
Speaker 5: but they've also given up their twenty one and twenty three.

918
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 5: I believe it is. So I don't think he give

919
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 5: up all those. So they would have to find another

920
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 5: way to make it happen. But Daryl Moury, we know,

921
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 5: is one of the most creative gms out there, So

922
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 5: I think Darryl Moury will figure out a way to

923
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 5: make it happen. I think he's basically just going to

924
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 5: wait and see if the Rockets are prepared to do that,

925
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 5: because I think, if you're Daryl Moury again, he came in,

926
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 5: he didn't want to make that big splash for trading

927
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 5: one of their big stars at the start. But now

928
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 5: I just think when you look at it, Harden and

929
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 5: Embiid probably does work a little bit better than Ben

930
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 5: Simmons and Embeid, you know, because the big problem is

931
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 5: Ben Simmons can't spread the floor with his shooting obviously,

932
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 5: James Harden can. James Harden can run that pick and

933
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: roll with Joel Embiid now he's a little bit old.

934
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 2: On another counter to all this is Ben Simmons and

935
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 2: Jowell and Bee when playing together have been actually pretty

936
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: damn good. I knowhing else around them, yeah.

937
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 5: But I'm just thinking like I just think the problem

938
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 5: though with Simmons and Embiid at times is that congestion

939
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 5: as well on offense where it's where where embiid likes

940
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 5: to spread the floor by shooting threes. He's not a

941
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 5: grade three point shooter, where Simmons should be the one

942
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 5: doing that, and he hasn't been able to do that.

943
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 5: So I'm starting to think that if Harden gets traded

944
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 5: and he wants to go to an Eastern Conference or

945
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 5: the Rockets want to send it to an Eastern Conference team,

946
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 5: I believe I think that's the destination best suited for him.

947
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 5: There there was talking he wanted to go to Milwaukee,

948
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 5: which would be hilarious if he and Yanna's teamed up.

949
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 5: I don't think that's happening. You can throw out other

950
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 5: the Raptors. He's not going to the Raptors of course,

951
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 5: like that. You know Charlotte though, those sort of teams. Yeah,

952
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 5: he's not going anywhere there. So I think it's down

953
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 5: to Brooklyn and Philadelphia. And I think as we sit

954
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 5: here today, I think Philadelphia with Darryl Moury there, he's

955
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 5: the puppet master. He's going to make something happen. So

956
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 5: that's my first one.

957
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, true, first one.

958
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 3: Well, the trade.

959
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 5: The trade essentially is Danny Green and Ben Simmons for

960
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 5: James Harden. To make the salaries work, and then the

961
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 5: Sixers will find that draft compensation as well, like a

962
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 5: first down the line. So that that's the part of

963
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 5: it again that like I'm not quite you know, I'm

964
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 5: not quite exactly sure how deep they can go as

965
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 5: far as giving up first round picks, but Darryl Morey

966
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 5: will find one.

967
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 6: Something I saw on Instagram that Darryl Moury said Ben

968
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 6: Simmons has a chance at winning MVP this year.

969
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 2: Mean, that's the trade value exactly, just like Drew Holliday.

970
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 3: That's what David Goodfin did.

971
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 6: Lee longdnto the trade machine the third time ever, He's like,

972
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 6: I'm going to juice this up. So this guy looks

973
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 6: at the trade assets of every team in the NBA.

974
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, according to the trade machine right now,

975
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 5: the seventy six is wins improved by seven and the

976
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 5: Sixers lose by twelve. But that's sorry. The Rouckets lose

977
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 5: by twelve, have twelve few wins, but that's okay for

978
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 5: where the Rockets are right now, So you know, I

979
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 5: think there's something there anyway. The second one, and this

980
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 5: one is one I think I would I when I

981
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 5: answering this question. I thought we're going to talk about

982
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 5: James haunts, Let's try to find another one. And I

983
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 5: want to see the Dallas Mavericks pass you sort of

984
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 5: spoke about and then. And the thing is, if you're

985
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 5: the Mavericks, I think right now they have to be

986
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 5: somewhat concerned about the long term durability of pausingis you know,

987
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 5: he missed time in the bubble, He's obviously already blown

988
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 5: out in acl and he's going to miss the start

989
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 5: of this season. He's a very good player, but he's

990
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 5: so young, and he's had some big injuries so far.

991
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 5: Now they gave him a big, fat contract, you know,

992
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 5: they think he could be the piece there next to Luca.

993
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 5: But the problem is if he continues to have these

994
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 5: problems just staying on the court. It's the clock is

995
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 5: not ticking on the Mavericks with Luka yet. But I

996
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 5: think they also want to show him we're going to

997
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 5: try to compete as often as we can for a

998
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 5: championship while Luca's this good. So I think there's a

999
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 5: deal to be made there with the Washington Wizards to

1000
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 5: get Bradley Beal. And I think I think Beer would

1001
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 5: be a really nice fit there next to Luca because

1002
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 5: he can play off the ball. He can also play

1003
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 5: as the sort of distributor offensive lead man when Luca's

1004
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 5: sitting if necessary. And I think he's just an upgrade

1005
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 5: on those guys like a Tim Hardaway Junior a little

1006
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 5: bit too sporadic still and Maxi Kleeber would work in

1007
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 5: this deal. According to the trade machines. Great, uh, you know,

1008
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 5: Clipper is a good, good player, but again, Beal isn't

1009
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 5: all star. Bill is an All NBA caliber player. I

1010
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 5: think he's an improvement for what they have right now.

1011
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 5: And he's also just a little bit of an insurance

1012
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 5: policy for them with pausingis that's another legit star to

1013
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 5: put next to Luka Doncic to show, hey, we're not

1014
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 5: we're not waiting, we're not gonna We're not going to

1015
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 5: give this a couple of years. If things aren't working out,

1016
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 5: we want a superstar next to you. And I think

1017
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 5: Beal fits that Bill Beal Bill. So so that's and

1018
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 5: and and look the Wizards, you know they they trade

1019
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 5: it obviously for Russell Westbrook. But let's be honest, the

1020
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 5: Wizards they're looking to the future right now. They're not

1021
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 5: competing for a championship right now.

1022
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: They're they're they're competing for the playoffs.

1023
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 5: Bebe That's it. That's where they are right now. Bradley

1024
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 5: Beal can give you some some some draft assets as well.

1025
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 5: That's the other thing. Sorry, I forgot to mention that

1026
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 5: the Mavericks, next time you.

1027
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: Give a trade, just see the tree right off the well.

1028
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 5: But see, I don't think Hardaway and h and uh

1029
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 5: pleaber get it done. I think the Mavericks also say

1030
00:44:58,160 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 5: we'll give you a first round pick, but they gave

1031
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 5: up pick of course for Pauzingis a few years ago,

1032
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 5: two first rounds which they're starting to have to cash

1033
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 5: in on now. So so yeah, that's where I would

1034
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 5: like to see Bill go. I'd like to see him

1035
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 5: go to a team it's got a better future than

1036
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,439
Speaker 5: the Wizards have right now. I think it's a good

1037
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 5: match with Luka Doncic, and I think that's something that

1038
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 5: could happen.

1039
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean, you really just want Bill on a

1040
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: different team because you love Bradley, Bill, you love Luca.

1041
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 2: You're a big more Cuban shot. I get where you're going.

1042
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 2: Then we'll bring man new Genobili out of them. We'll

1043
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 2: throw him on the squad. I'm sure there's an that

1044
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: we can get on the team.

1045
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 5: Josh Green is already on the Mavericks.

1046
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 3: Breanie. They might have to give.

1047
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 5: Him back to the Wizards in the trade. That's that's

1048
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 5: one thing.

1049
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 2: Well, we're not going to be calling you the trade machine, Pa.

1050
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that.

1051
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: You'd be proud of playing with Creons right now.

1052
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 5: You'd be proud of me, though, having two tabs open

1053
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,320
Speaker 5: right now and I'm working, I am working the trade machine.

1054
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 2: Hey, very proud of you. I mean Walsh was reporting

1055
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 2: here this morning. I think it was tass. You know

1056
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 2: that Harden still wants to be traded from the Rockets,

1057
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 2: despite you know, John Wall playing in preseason games and

1058
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: looking all right like his plan hasn't changed, he still

1059
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 2: wants out of there. I assume it is one of

1060
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 2: those four teams that he's previously mentioned. So do you

1061
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: have a trade in mind for Hardeners or another star

1062
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: player that you think could be on the move.

1063
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 3: What do you think? Well, let me first echo Gustavo's

1064
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 3: comments here in the tweets dream he just said, did

1065
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 3: he say the trade either? But anyways, proud ofly for

1066
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: jumping on that trade machine. I don't have one. I

1067
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 3: think James Harden is going to have to expand his

1068
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 3: desired trade destinations before he's dealt I don't see a

1069
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 3: match in Milwaukee or Philadelphia. I just don't see that happening.

1070
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 3: I don't see Ben moving at this point. With the Sixers.

1071
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 3: They did a lot of gymnastics to open up some

1072
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 3: cap room by trading Al Horford. It was a great move.

1073
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 3: I just don't see them locking in with a guy

1074
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 3: who's thirty plus at this point to trade Ben sim

1075
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 3: you got to see what you had got in Ben

1076
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: Simmons and Joel Embiid with shooters around them as they

1077
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 3: now have with Seth Curry and Danny Green and Tobias

1078
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 3: Harris and Shake Milton. I think that's gonna happen. I

1079
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 3: think James is gonna have to expand that a little bit.

1080
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 3: But hey, I'm looking forward to the day we jump

1081
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 3: on here and do an emergency podcast because it sure

1082
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 3: feels like it's gonna happen. James Harden is showing up

1083
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 3: today with PJ. Tucker to Houston camp and they're gonna

1084
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 3: talk about playing basketball. But it's just weird. I mean,

1085
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 3: it's weird. It's a weird situation to have all these

1086
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 3: guys who, as the Athletic Report and Kelly Eco Reporter

1087
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 3: just are not happy to join DeMarcus Cousins and John

1088
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: Wall who seemed to be happy. I'm not sure how

1089
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 3: that all shakes shakes out looking forward to that.

1090
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,439
Speaker 2: Well, let me give you this trade proposal. This one

1091
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 2: is from Twitter fan Twitter fan no Ducks fan by

1092
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 2: way of Twitter, Carl Brannigan, and he threw this one

1093
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 2: out here because Wolves was saying, the Rockets want, like

1094
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 2: you said, Lee, they want a young star player, you know,

1095
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 2: preferably probably some picks too, to build for the future,

1096
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: and that if they were trading with the Nets, they

1097
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: have no interest in Kyrie Irving, so there's not gonna

1098
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 2: be an Irving for hard and type of deal. And

1099
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 2: they're not all that interested in the Nets sort of

1100
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 2: young package that they could put together, which you've talked

1101
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 2: about before, Lee, that you think is sort of enticing.

1102
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: But apparently the Rockets don't, right, they don't look at

1103
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 2: Karris Lavert or a Dinwitty or an Allen I guess.

1104
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 3: Or something like.

1105
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 2: They don't they're not all excited about one of those

1106
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: guys being like a future star. So Kyle throws out

1107
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: this three team deal because what was also said, maybe

1108
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 2: the Nets would have to get a third team involved,

1109
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: find that young star player and reroute him to Houston.

1110
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 2: Kyle's maybe done it here. I'll throw it at you.

1111
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 2: This is how I'll present it. The Brooklyn Nets they

1112
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: get James Harden in this scenario, the Houston Rockets they

1113
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 2: would get Gary Harris, Torrian Prince, and Michael Porter Junior. Okay,

1114
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 2: so you got a couple Nuggets come in, Michael Porter

1115
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 2: Junior being the star, the potential star for the future,

1116
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 2: and then Princes and Aron Harris, and then the Nuggets

1117
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: would get Karris Lavert and Spencer Dinwitty Trey. What do

1118
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 2: you think of Kyle's trade machine three team deal there?

1119
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 2: If Harden, you know, was in play for the Brooklyn

1120
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 2: Nets to get, does that make a little sense at

1121
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 2: least for the Rocket side of things. Is it perplexing

1122
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 2: to you for the Nuggets side thing?

1123
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 3: Like? What do you think about that one?

1124
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 7: I think it's perplexing from the Nuggets point of view.

1125
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 6: I don't think that they would necessarily want to give

1126
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 6: up a young guy that they have high hopes for

1127
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 6: in Michael Porter Junior, to get Caros Lavert and Spencer Dinwittie,

1128
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 6: who are both very solid players. They've been each of them,

1129
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 6: you know, fringe All Star candidates in the Eastern Conference.

1130
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,280
Speaker 6: I don't think that that is necessarily where the Nuggets

1131
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 6: are setting their sights with their third star, though. They

1132
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 6: want somebody who's going to be a regular as an

1133
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 6: All Star appearance kind of guy alongside Jokichen. Hopefully Murray

1134
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 6: probably an All Star at some point in his career

1135
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 6: as well too. I do think it's a better return

1136
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 6: for the Rockets. You would rather get Michael Porter Junior

1137
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 6: than Dinwitty and Lavert for the same reason that the

1138
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 6: Nuggets would like to keep those guys around it as well,

1139
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 6: right Like, you want the younger, better guy, which is

1140
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 6: exactly what the Rockets are trying to do here. But

1141
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 6: they're not gonna get good return for James Harden because

1142
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 6: James Harden is an MVP candidate, So they're gonna be

1143
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 6: choosing between these okay young players who that they hope

1144
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 6: can get to a level less than James Harden. Then

1145
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 6: they're hoping they can get a few more assets as well.

1146
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 6: To try and rebuild things. Maybe John Wall looks good again.

1147
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 6: He was fine in his first preseason game lighting up

1148
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 6: the Bulls. But maybe then they're able to move him

1149
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 6: in the future as well too, and continue to just

1150
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 6: readd all of the draft assets that they have lost

1151
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 6: with the Chris Paul, with the Russell Westbrook trades, all

1152
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 6: this stuff that has kind of jeopardized the Rocket's future

1153
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 6: and made James Harden want to leave. I just think

1154
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 6: that there's no way he plays the whole season there, Harden,

1155
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 6: because this past week and a half has been a

1156
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 6: disaster for the Rockets and we haven't even started the

1157
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 6: season yet. You really want to go into it where

1158
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 6: these guys are appearing in front of the media every

1159
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 6: single day saying how much they hate your team and

1160
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 6: your owner.

1161
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 7: No, thank you?

1162
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1163
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 2: Is there any other star players that could be moved

1164
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 2: tests in your opinion.

1165
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 3: I do like Beale being on the horizon of guys

1166
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 3: that get moved, because I think twice it seems like, oh,

1167
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 3: Beal is gonna be in Washington for a long time.

1168
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 3: When he signed that quote unquote extension what was really

1169
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 3: just a one year plus an option, and now Russell

1170
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 3: Westbrook coming in. It feels like, oh, they're going for it,

1171
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 3: But maybe it's not as early as the trade deadline.

1172
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: Maybe it's in the offseason or next trade deadline. But

1173
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a long term solution to have

1174
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 3: Russ playing together with Bradley Beal, although as an experiment,

1175
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 3: I'm willing to watch those two in Eazac Banga and

1176
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 3: Ruyat Shamura, who I've got a thang for, and Moe

1177
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 3: Wagner and all these guys. It will be fun to

1178
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 3: watch all these guys play together. But I do see

1179
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,439
Speaker 3: bial on the horizon getting moved, a guy that we've

1180
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 3: talked about a billion times getting moved. Aaron Gordon just

1181
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 3: feels like it's time to go for Orlando. It's year

1182
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 3: seven for him. The hair is out. He's looking fine

1183
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 3: with the new hairdo it just it doesn't feel right.

1184
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 3: Every time I watch an Orlando Magic game, it feels

1185
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 3: like Aron Gordon's gonna try and turn it on and

1186
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: try and have a big game. But he really has

1187
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 3: to get to a point in his career where he

1188
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 3: is more of a complimentary guy, more of a defensive guy,

1189
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:07,919
Speaker 3: and not the number one option at the very least

1190
00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 3: so I think it has to happen at some point, right,

1191
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 3: So it doesn't feel like a long term set there.

1192
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,919
Speaker 3: And Al Horford as well in okay See and Derek

1193
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 3: Rose and Detroit got to cash in on him while

1194
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 3: he's under contract and playing at his best. It doesn't

1195
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 3: fit for the Pistons to continue on with Derreck Rose

1196
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 3: and Blake Griffin, who also looks fantastic in preseason basketball.

1197
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: Everybody's looking fantastic, Trey, Are there any other names so

1198
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: you'd add to Tesa's sold list there.

1199
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 6: I'm a little curious what's going on with Rudy Gobert

1200
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 6: in the Jazz. You know, he's going to be a

1201
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 6: free agent after this season. He's eligible for a super

1202
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 6: Max extension. He's still probably the best rim protector in

1203
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 6: the league. But as we've seen with the Jazz, that

1204
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 6: format seems like it can only take them so far.

1205
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 6: They haven't been able to pop to the next level

1206
00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 6: to become an elite team quite yet. This summer or

1207
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,399
Speaker 6: early fall this offseason, they brought back Derek Favors, they

1208
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 6: drafted another center, So you just have to think, are

1209
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 6: they considering the idea of maybe moving go Bear for

1210
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 6: somebody around the trade deadline. He would be a guy

1211
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 6: that would be in huge demand around the league, even

1212
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 6: if you're only getting him for the rest of the season.

1213
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 6: That's the kind of guy that can swing a title

1214
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 6: if all you're missing is a big guy, no doubt

1215
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 6: about it. But he's also been a Jazz for the

1216
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 6: entirety of his career. He seems like a main stay there.

1217
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 6: I would imagine somehow they find a deal for him

1218
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 6: to come back at less than the max. But if

1219
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 6: he has his heart set on the max, I don't

1220
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 6: think it's out of the realm of possibility that he

1221
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 6: could be a trade target.

1222
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 3: Fair fair, All right, we got to take a break, man.

1223
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: We are running long here for our first show of

1224
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 2: our second season No Dunks, but let's take a quick break.

1225
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 3: To hear from our sponsors.

1226
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: We got some fun questions here to end part one

1227
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 2: of our five part NBA season preview podcasts, and this

1228
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: one we're gonna go to you here. First tray, best

1229
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 2: new jersey? We got so many Knew City edition jerseys.

1230
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 2: What's your favorite one?

1231
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 3: And why?

1232
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: Oh?

1233
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 6: You gotta hit up our Instagram or our Twitter at

1234
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 6: No dunks Ink you can see skeets and I doing

1235
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 6: a review on every single one of these New City jerseys.

1236
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 7: There's a whole bunch of them.

1237
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 6: We've talked about a bunch of them on the show

1238
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 6: because it feels like they've been coming out for about

1239
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 6: three months now at this point. So we've all praised

1240
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 6: the Buzz City Hornets jersey. Here's one that we didn't show.

1241
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 6: I don't think I love the New Spurs Yesta look.

1242
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 3: Yep.

1243
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 6: Oh, this is so good, especially because it's a look

1244
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 6: that everybody associates with the Spurs, but we've never actually

1245
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 6: seen it on a jersey. They only did the warm

1246
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 6: ups back in the day during the David Robinson sewn

1247
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 6: Elliott Dennis Rodman era. But everybody's hoping these would turn

1248
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 6: into uniforms. They finally did the old school font that

1249
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 6: they had in the nineties, probably a little bit better

1250
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 6: than this one, but this still looks great. Unlike a

1251
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 6: lot of the teams that came out with these New

1252
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 6: City jerseys, there's a reason for the Spurs to be

1253
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 6: wearing black uniforms. They wear black all the time, unlike

1254
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 6: the Knicks or a team like that. I don't know

1255
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 6: what they're doing. Nonetheless, I think these Spurs ones look great.

1256
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 6: They ran five guys out there to model them who

1257
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 6: nobody's ever seen before, and they still looked awesome. Shout

1258
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:10,280
Speaker 6: out to the Spurs.

1259
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went with that as well, the Spurs Fiesta

1260
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 2: theme jerseys. It's also the first time I read that

1261
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 2: the team's hometown has been front on the center of

1262
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 2: the jersey since nineteen eighty nine, so it says San

1263
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 2: Antonio because it usually just says the Spurs. I hadn't

1264
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 2: realized that. But those are ooh, those are tasty. Those

1265
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,359
Speaker 2: are very right too. I too jumped in on this.

1266
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 2: I love these Fiesta jersey. I'm surprised we didn't talk

1267
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 2: about them. Look how cool those guys looked. As Trey mentioned,

1268
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 2: I mean the photographer did some incredible job here, or

1269
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: didn't incredible job. Just the lighting makes it look super cool.

1270
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 2: Trey Lyles, you look cool.

1271
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 3: I think all these these these five young Spurs look fantastic,

1272
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 3: especially de Jontey Murray there in the front. He's making

1273
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 3: new balanced shoes look cool. He's got the matching new

1274
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,760
Speaker 3: balanced shoes with the Fiesta So sixy.

1275
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 7: Liking back pose too. Just the rap squad.

1276
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 6: But what the hands open you don't see the klaw

1277
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 6: Hens very often like that.

1278
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1279
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 3: Five, okay, so.

1280
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: We have three of us picking the Spurs, Lee, what

1281
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 2: are you taking? You're going with them as well?

1282
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 5: They're pretty sexy. I'm going with the Phoenix Suns though.

1283
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 5: The Valley Jerseys, yeah, I think so, especially when you

1284
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 5: see them actually on the players like that. So I

1285
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 5: think they look so cool because I don't think we've

1286
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 5: really seen them other than just the jersey itself being released,

1287
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 5: but now obviously you got there their big three there

1288
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 5: modeling them, and yeah, I think they look great. I

1289
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 5: think they really do. I like that the night that

1290
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 5: the sunset look that they've got going on. So yeah,

1291
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 5: the Sun's okay.

1292
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: You know, you don't think they're too much of sort

1293
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 2: of a rip off of what we've seen from like

1294
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: sort of the Nuggets and I guess sort of the Jazz.

1295
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Tetrasy sort of looked there for the Nuggets

1296
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 5: and stuff, and the mountain looks like I'm just asking, Yeah,

1297
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 5: it's the same sort of area though, isn't it. You know, so.

1298
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 3: The wild Wild West. Yeah, yeah, he didn't invent mountains Colorado,

1299
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 3: right of the.

1300
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: Mountains got to share those mountains.

1301
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, the horness and those spacers ones also been going

1302
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 3: around with the pinstre I like those so nice. I

1303
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: was a fan of those.

1304
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I did the Eastern Conference, like Trey

1305
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 2: said on our Instagram and Twitter accounts, like quick like hitters,

1306
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 2: you know, thumbs up, thumbs down, traded the West and

1307
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: again go check those out. I was not up on

1308
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: many of the Eastern Conference jerseys, you know, in looking

1309
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 2: back on it, I was like I was up on

1310
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 2: like a handful of them. A lot of them are

1311
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 2: not great, which brings us to our next question. What's

1312
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 2: the worst New City edition jersey?

1313
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: Lee?

1314
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 3: Why aren't you going to start? Which one are you? Like?

1315
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean again, there are a lot of bad ones.

1316
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 2: There're a lot to pick from, in my opinion, But

1317
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:37,280
Speaker 2: what are you going with?

1318
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 5: I'm going with the low hanging fruit of the New

1319
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 5: York Nicks because A J. Barrett even looks like he

1320
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 5: doesn't want to be there. You just showed the San

1321
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 5: Antonio Spurs looking cool as anything there together, you know,

1322
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 5: throwing out the rap pose.

1323
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 3: A J.

1324
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 5: Barrett's like, oh god, am I the one? Am I

1325
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 5: the one who has to moddel these things?

1326
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 8: Like?

1327
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 5: No, thanks? Come on? Quick, get these over and done within.

1328
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's City never sleeps.

1329
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 7: I'm just sleeping on those ones no day exactly.

1330
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 3: Lee could never wear those, He's always sleeping.

1331
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah, not when it's raining like it was

1332
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 5: last night time.

1333
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 3: Right, sorry, except when you're up in the attic checking

1334
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 3: the shield.

1335
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 5: All right.

1336
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good pick for worst New Jersey task.

1337
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,080
Speaker 3: What do you have? I too went with that City

1338
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 3: edition totally.

1339
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: R J.

1340
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 3: Barrett Mister Michael Lee pointed the same thing out that

1341
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 3: Lee did on Twitter, saying, come on, I'm not happy here.

1342
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 3: This circle is just it's too much. And I'm not

1343
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 3: even all that bothered by the sponsors on the front

1344
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 3: of a jersey, but even this Squarespace logo, it's just

1345
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 3: all up in your grill. I thought, you know, back

1346
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 3: if you can remember, back in twenty seventeen, when it

1347
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 3: was a pilot program for the league to have these

1348
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 3: patch jers two and a half inches by two and

1349
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 3: a half inches, we all wondered, what about our sacred jerseys.

1350
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 3: What's going to happen to our sacred jerseys? Now it's

1351
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 3: just a part of the jerseys and it's not a

1352
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 3: big deal. There's a great write up actually on The

1353
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 3: Athletic by Bill Shay about how much money is coming

1354
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 3: in and they're expanding it to practice jerseys this year.

1355
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 3: It hasn't been abtrusive whatsoever. But maybe it's just because

1356
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 3: it's white on black. Maybe it's because of the location,

1357
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 3: maybe because there's an NYC. But this squarespace is like, bang,

1358
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 3: it's too much, And maybe it's this. Maybe maybe it's

1359
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 3: because that circle is so big. Yeah, that's what I

1360
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 3: think it.

1361
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 2: I think it's because your eyes don't want to look

1362
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 2: at the actual logo, so you're like, well let me

1363
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:28,959
Speaker 2: look anywhere else.

1364
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 3: Oh bam, square space. Yeah.

1365
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 2: I think like the old classic NYC Nike logo would

1366
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 2: make for a better overall logo for the actual mix.

1367
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: They have it backwards here. It's sort of this stupid

1368
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 2: circle with the city never sleeps in the dumb color.

1369
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 2: I hate this one's bad, Tray. I don't know if

1370
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 2: you have another one, but.

1371
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, this one is really bad. The other one in

1372
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 6: the mix for the worst for me. Cleveland Cavaliers. Yeah, okay,

1373
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 6: I will agree that most people do know that the

1374
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 6: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland. That

1375
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 6: seems to be the number one thing people know. Oh

1376
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 6: but this looks like a ransom note. You have to

1377
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 6: know all of these logos. You have to know all

1378
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 6: of these band logos, like David Bowie's classic VS. Yeah, names,

1379
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 6: are any v's out there? There ever been a band

1380
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 6: with a V in their name? Sorry, just a guy

1381
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 6: named David. We're rolling that out there. Then you have

1382
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 6: to realize that these are actually that. And when it

1383
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 6: all comes together, it just looks brutal. None of these

1384
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 6: bands are even from Ohio.

1385
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 7: I do not get this.

1386
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 3: It looks like it.

1387
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 5: Looks like at the end there they used grammarly to

1388
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 5: spell the ad. They had to squeeze the ending there.

1389
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 5: It's like, hang on, we spelled it Cleveland. Hang on

1390
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 5: this all right, put it through grammarly. It's Cleveland, all right,

1391
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 5: all right? Chucking in in there. Yeah, that's what it

1392
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 5: looks like. It's it's crazy.

1393
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 2: You know what's worse. I couldn't believe it.

1394
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

1395
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 2: These are brutal. Have you seen the court that goes

1396
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 2: along with the Oh come on, oh this is I mean,

1397
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 2: they're trying I guess what the nets were doing there

1398
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 2: with the great Corbett Like, ah, you got like the

1399
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 2: I guess the little patches right like pins on a Jackins.

1400
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Not a fan of the rock and roll

1401
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 2: ransom no jerseys, no, nor the Court, so those are

1402
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 2: those are high? I feel on like a lot of

1403
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: people's list, the Calves and the Knicks.

1404
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 3: What are you doing? What are you doing?

1405
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 2: Let's hear from you, either in the stream team or

01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 3: Which ones have we missed? And I'm not sure why

1409
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 3: the Knicks didn't go with this jersey style here the

1410
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 3: you know, the sort of understated black. I don't even

1411
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 3: know what this jersey is, but somebody threw it out there.

1412
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 7: This Kiss it's a store in New York City.

01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:48,479

1415
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 3: but okay, it's a store, and I thought maybe there's

1416
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 3: Nicks within that Kihs looking looking analyzing it. Maybe it's

1417

Speaker 2: All right again, let's hear from you, guys, favorite and

1420
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 2: uh least favorite jerseys from all those New City edition ones.

1421
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 3: All right, final question here for part.

1422
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 2: One, favorite moment, meme, whatever you want to call it

1423
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 2: from the off season or even into the preseason task

1424
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 2: get us started.

1425
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 3: What was your favorite moment from.

1426
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 2: What the few weeks we had between the end of

1427
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:23,479
Speaker 2: last season and the start of this one.

1428
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, too short a period, So I just went with

1429
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 3: the No Dunk's Twitter account producing some great memes, Trey

1430
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 3: Kirby producing some great weeks, and he threw this out there.

1431
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 3: They usually involved Lee, and in this instance, it's the

1432
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 3: Pelicans City Edition jersey with the you know, the three

1433
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 3: sections on at the red, white, and blue and the

1434
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 3: flur de leise those flowers there and so there's our

1435
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 3: flower flur to Lee hanging out for it for a

1436
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 3: It was a photo shoot back in our starter's day.

1437
01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 2: But Lee would go on to wear that turtleneck an

1438
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 2: All Star Weekend. If I'm got mistaken, absolutely.

1439
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 7: This year right that was twenty twenty.

1440
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, wow, Yeah, it was interesting.

1441
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 6: It was Valentine's Day, putting on a very romantic turtleneck

1442
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 6: to hang out with the boys and eat some two.

1443
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 5: You know, those photo shoots we always used to do

1444
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 5: were so much fun, and you're always hoping you would

1445
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 5: get to keep some of the clothes, and I wanted

1446
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 5: to keep that jacket too. I love that jacket.

1447
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 3: I thought it was great. I love that fit.

1448
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 5: I thought it was great with the white pants and

1449
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 5: the skivvy. But the turtleneck as it's called here, but.

1450
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, scivy. Yeah, oh that's underwear here, but turtleneck in Australia,

1451
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:35,840
Speaker 3: it's a skivvy.

1452
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a skivy. That's what we would call it.

1453
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 5: I think it's an Australian England sort of thing. But

1454
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 5: you know, turtle necks.

1455
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 3: Fine, don't go out in your skivvies to get the newspaper.

1456
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 2: That's what I always Do you have any other any

1457
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 2: other no dunkst memes there, tas, I didn't know if

1458
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: you were set.

1459
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 3: Up for No, no, no, that was my home run there.

1460
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 3: That wasn't my poul I'll tell you that.

1461
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 2: What do you got a tree favorite moment or meme

1462
01:03:58,600 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 2: from the offseason slash preseason?

1463
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,439
Speaker 6: Well like test to saying like what kind of off

1464
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 6: season did really really have? We had like two weeks?

1465
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 6: I liked catching a giant bass. That was my favorite

1466
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 6: moment of the off season. Lee's draft video was great,

1467
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 6: But as for an NBA sort of moment of the

1468
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 6: off season, I think the thing that we'll remember the

1469
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 6: most is Bogdan Bogdanovic being a Buck for twenty minutes,

1470
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 6: and then he's not a Buck, and then now he's

1471
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 6: somehow on the Hawks. You know, the Bucks had a

1472
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 6: pretty good offseason if they hadn't totally botched the bog

1473
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 6: Dan situation, because they did get the biggest target out there,

1474
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 6: right and Drew Holiday, a player that everybody thinks is

1475
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 6: going to improve their chances come playoff time, really raises

1476
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 6: their ceiling a little bit from Eric Bledsoe. Everybody thinks

1477
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 6: that's an improvement, but it looked like they were doing

1478
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 6: it at the exact same time as getting bog Dan.

1479
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 6: As it turned out, everybody botched that situation. Now Bogdan

1480
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 6: Bogdanovic is here in Atlanta playing for the Hawks, and

1481
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 6: you kind of forget that Drew Holliday is going to

1482
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 6: be on the Bucks. Messing that deal up really overshadowed

1483
01:04:58,440 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 6: the one that they got.

1484
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 2: Right right, And as of recording this here on Monday,

1485
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 2: Johannes still hasn't signed the Supermac's extension too Now who

1486
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 2: knows if that, you know, the butching of that deal

1487
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 2: has anything to do with it. Maybe it does, maybe

1488
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't, But yeah, that's that's a that's a weird

1489
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 2: moment for sure. From this very short off season. What

1490
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 2: do you have, Lily.

1491
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 5: I still think the funniest thing I saw, certainly on

1492
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 5: free agency, it was Dwight Howard saying he's re signing

1493
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 5: with the Lakers. I think it was Sham's first. I'm

1494
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 5: not sure if he had it first, but but you know,

1495
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 5: some of those guys who were connected said, no, he

1496
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 5: hasn't signed, that's not a deal that's happening, and then

1497
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,240
Speaker 5: thinking that like, okay, it's just a formality that he

1498
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 5: will resign with the Lakers, and then all of a sudden,

1499
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 5: he signed with the Philadelphia seventy six ers. So I

1500
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 5: thought that was crazy because Dwight really did rehab his

1501
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 5: image so well this season. He played hard, he won

1502
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 5: a championship, and he sort of became that guy that

1503
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 5: people used to love back in the day. But then

1504
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 5: he kind of goes I've never ever seen that before,

1505
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 5: where a player's called his destination only to be corrected

1506
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 5: by a reporters. You're not signing there, but it hasn't

1507
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 5: been signed that deal.

1508
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 3: Sorry.

1509
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 5: I thought that was that was pretty funny.

1510
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 2: Especially when the team that he is well eventually leaving

1511
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: was the NBA champion.

1512
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 3: Obviously, I'm going back for win another one. Yeah, Oh

1513
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 3: you're not, man, You're gonna have to do it in

1514
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 3: the East, So good luck. Okay, that's that's very funny.

1515
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 3: I picked one, guys that.

1516
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 2: Feels like ten years ago, and I actually think it

1517
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 2: got overlooked a little bit. But remember when Meyers Leonard

1518
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 2: became like an internet sensation for shotgunning cors light beers

1519
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 2: down in the bubble, Well, the company reached out to

1520
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 2: him for like this once in a lifetime offer. They

1521
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 2: hooked him up as we see here on the Stream

1522
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 2: team with a Corps Light Chill Stream bus and he

1523
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 2: went on a cross country adventure with his wife and

1524
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 2: his dog, and the bus included a driver. They went

1525
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 2: over thirty three hundred miles. They were stopping in cities

1526
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 2: I guess where family members lived.

1527
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: Now.

1528
01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 2: They were doing all of this during a pandemic, which

1529
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 2: I thought was a little strange. But they started in

1530
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 2: Miami and they ended ten days later I think in

1531
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 2: La and It's just like, Wow, this again feels like

1532
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 2: an eternity ago where Meyers Leonard on Winter was giving

1533
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 2: me tips how to shotgun a beer, remember, because I

1534
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 2: shot gun the beer because of a pick and payoff

1535
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 2: at the start of the bubble. So, uh, this all

1536
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: happened not that long ago. I did a little research

1537
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 2: on it, though, Meyer said, quote, I did a workout

1538
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 2: in the middle of Nebraska in a truck stop parking

1539
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 2: lot like a complete psychopath because he had combat boots

1540
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,520
Speaker 2: on and no shirts on. He was it was like

1541
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 2: he was going to get the paper lead. But I

1542
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 2: guess it broke like a classic bus breaking down on

1543
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 2: the road trip, stopped working in Nebraska for.

1544
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 3: A little bit, and he had to get his work

1545
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 3: at it.

1546
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got the bud though. That's okay if you

1547
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 5: go out and get the paper in the nude in

1548
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 5: the morning.

1549
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, in fact that you're encouraged to just walk out.

1550
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 3: And if you look like Myer's letter and he was

1551
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 3: showing it off there in that photo too. It took

1552
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 3: the wife, the dog and his shorts.

1553
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 6: You guys, I think we should offer a sleeveless no
