Speaker 1: Hey, I'm sure this has been addressed, but forgive me.
Speaker 1: Are you like in the corner of a restaurant.
Speaker 2: About to get shots.
Speaker 3: I'm in a hotel. It's like a cafe in this
Speaker 3: hotel called eleven Howard Awesome. There's a place called the Library.
Speaker 3: They serve food, but then there's this little back area
Speaker 3: that's not intrusive to anyone because it's like a library.
Speaker 3: So people are doing work, so I don't think they
Speaker 3: really want this energy for them. So I've gone to
Speaker 3: the back, which is a little bit more dimly lit
Speaker 3: as you can see, and so I'm right underneath a lamp.
Speaker 4: Vibe strong. The vibe are strong, for sure.
Speaker 5: There's lots of photo shops on Twitter waiting for you.
Speaker 5: You are more than welcome to stay, but if you've
Speaker 5: got other things to do you can go to.
Speaker 6: It's really whatever you like. This is it's time.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm just having a good time with you guys.
Speaker 3: Is there anything else you guys feel it was worth addressing?
Speaker 3: Oh wait, really quick, Cloud, because I haven't talked to
Speaker 3: you about this. I'm really sad for brock Perty. I'm
Speaker 3: sorry that it went down like that. That stinks. It really, Yes,
Speaker 3: that stinks.
Speaker 1: Had the same vibe to me just as a just
Speaker 1: as as a as a fan of Game six of
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen finals, yep, where the Raptors won. It's
Speaker 1: just kind of like, well, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 4: And when guys get hurt, it's hard to win.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 3: You're like Clays down, Kd's down, and the.
Speaker 1: Raptors are really good too, Like I don't want it's
Speaker 1: not taken away from them.
Speaker 4: They could have won the series anyways. But that's just
Speaker 4: how I felt about about Sunday. So it sucks. But
Speaker 4: figures crossed these back by camp.
Speaker 3: Yeah, otherwise, you guys are screwed.
Speaker 4: We're hitting that used check over next year.
Speaker 3: I did not play that, but I was watching for that,
Speaker 3: and I was like, Kyle cannot give me out anymore
Speaker 3: bets he's got, He's got no credibility left in the bank.
Speaker 3: His good will ut negative. His good will for bets
Speaker 3: is at is literally negative, for what it's worth.
Speaker 4: That was tongue in cheek the you check over, Well
Speaker 4: you did.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that I could have played that, and
Speaker 3: you didn't say hey JK JK crying. There was no
Speaker 3: hint of jokes.
Speaker 4: All Caps.
Speaker 3: Where's Kenny in the middle of trade deadline week? Where
Speaker 3: where's Kenny?
Speaker 5: He's actually out by you. He's in Baltimore. Okay, he's
Speaker 5: in Baltimore.
Speaker 4: For Orioles fan fest.
Speaker 3: Orioles media. Did I get it?
Speaker 6: You got to get the hat. He's going to get
Speaker 6: the limited edition Oreles. He had to do it in.
Speaker 3: Old Tree Man Seni jersey on sale.
Speaker 6: It'll fly back tomorrow. He'll be back with us next week.
Speaker 3: Well, I miss you, guys, I love you guys. I
Speaker 3: can't wait one thing him. What's your one prediction in
Speaker 3: terms of who surprisingly gets moved and it cannot be
Speaker 3: Kyrie or Katie.
Speaker 2: Mmm, I think o g gets moved.
Speaker 3: Do you have a thought about where he goes?
Speaker 2: No, I think it's going to be a bidding war though.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you know we're seeing that like
Speaker 2: possible Pelicans, possible Grizzlies. I think you'll see Portland try
Speaker 2: to jump into that fray if they can come up
Speaker 2: with the assets. Yeah, he would be the one guy.
Speaker 2: Just like the vibe, there's weird in Toronto and it
Speaker 2: feels like things are coming to an end and his
Speaker 2: value is really high, right, now with two years left
Speaker 2: on his contract, And yeah, that would be the guy
Speaker 2: that I would think it's moved.
Speaker 3: You think that it's shade and sharp and Jeremy Grant,
Speaker 3: is that what that would have to be?
Speaker 2: And like a pick, I think no, they they really
Speaker 2: like Jeremy Grant. I think they believe he's going to
Speaker 2: stick around. So I would think you might be right
Speaker 2: about shade and sharp, But like, maybe can you do
Speaker 2: that with Simon's I don't know, Like I think that
Speaker 2: they would have to get creative. But that's just like
Speaker 2: Wheland's not high, Nurk is out for ye like until
Speaker 2: to the All Star break. So a lot of people
Speaker 2: just think that it's time for them to call it in,
Speaker 2: just like, hey, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 3: That's what I think it's called. It's called packing it up.
Speaker 3: It's you made it up.
Speaker 6: You're ready to do that now you made.
Speaker 3: A valiant effort. Guys Like I'm fine with Dame just
Speaker 3: going off for fifty on any given night. I do
Speaker 3: not care about winning games right now. I don't. I
Speaker 3: just don't. I'm fine with just getting Why not Scoop Henderson,
Speaker 3: get rid of Anthonny Simons.
Speaker 2: You Caul probably get a little oh go on, wow,
Speaker 2: oh she's back, Stop talking about her.
Speaker 5: But said, I was mildly terrifying the way it just
Speaker 5: went black and how your face was really close to
Speaker 5: the screen when it came back.
Speaker 4: That was the start of a horror movie for sure.
Speaker 3: It's like dead Me. It's like dead me. I see
Speaker 3: dead people.
Speaker 5: At eight here with Trista at this place in New York. Goodness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm dropping. I'm gonna go ahead and drop
Speaker 3: pins so you guys know where I'm at.
Speaker 4: You know, the Streamyard.
Speaker 1: Streamyard is like this is too much Blazers. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: far too much.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm interested to see if Phoenix goes to get
Speaker 3: Oji getting like maybe moved DeAndre or something.
Speaker 4: Well, is the trade him now?
Speaker 5: Yeah, here here's a question. You can both respond, Kyle,
Speaker 5: what what?
Speaker 6: What are the Warriors?
Speaker 5: The Warriors like every like week or so and still
Speaker 5: fear in the rest of the Western Conference, and then
Speaker 5: the next week it's like.
Speaker 6: Ah, not so much.
Speaker 4: That's what they are, Like, that's what they are.
Speaker 1: Last year this time they were forty and thirteen, and
Speaker 1: everyone's like, hey, why are you giving up on them?
Speaker 1: They won the title last year and look at because
Speaker 1: they weren't twenty six and twenty six.
Speaker 3: The remember the Boston Boston was five hundred at the deadline.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Boston had good players. But Boston has had
Speaker 4: last year had was way deeper than this Warriors team.
Speaker 1: Like the Warriors are going like eight deep right now
Speaker 1: because they just don't have guys.
Speaker 4: It gets it's just.
Speaker 3: Getting ready for the playoffs. Just get the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: I love doing that in early February because they like
Speaker 1: the fact they chased the win last night in Denver
Speaker 1: and didn't rest everybody except for Clay and then Draymond
Speaker 1: got hurt, but Steph played and Wiggins played on the
Speaker 1: back end of the back to back after blowing a
Speaker 1: fourteen point fourth quarter lead in Minnesota, it was just like, dude,
Speaker 1: what are we? This is not like okay that so
Speaker 1: they make the playoffs, fine, but are they gonna beat
Speaker 1: four teams four times out of seven?
Speaker 4: I just don't. I just don't.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what assets they have that are
Speaker 1: tradable that anybody's gonna want, Like nobody wants James.
Speaker 6: They burn all those young guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like James Wiseman has no trade value right now.
Speaker 1: Moses mood he has no trade value right now. Jonathan
Speaker 1: Amingo does, but I don't think they want to let
Speaker 1: him go.
Speaker 3: So they only want to get rid of guys who
Speaker 3: have no trade value.
Speaker 1: Right It's like, what we're gonna do is we're gonna
Speaker 1: trade our bad players to other teams for the other
Speaker 1: teams good players, and that's how we're gonna build a one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just don't. I don't like, do they need
Speaker 4: to make a move.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just don't know what it is. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't see it.
Speaker 3: What about you guys trying to go out and get
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving the Warriors?
Speaker 7: Yep?
Speaker 1: So so actually so my boss Matt and Higgen and
Speaker 1: God love him. He comes in and he goes, hey,
Speaker 1: so let's think about this from the Warriors perspective, Like
Speaker 1: it's a no, right. I was like yes, And he's like,
Speaker 1: but just basketball wise, and I'm like, yeah, man, Like
Speaker 1: they don't need another guy who can score the ball
Speaker 1: and then not play defense. They just like Jordan Pool
Speaker 1: for Kyrie Irving straight across? Are the Warriors that much better?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think the way you talk about Kyrie in
Speaker 2: relationship to uh to the Warriors, is would if the
Speaker 2: Lakers got him, they're a game and a half behind
Speaker 2: the Warriors. What does it mean for the Warriors?
Speaker 6: Exactly?
Speaker 2: That's where you're you're if you're covering it from that angle,
Speaker 2: that's that's a scary proposition.
Speaker 4: But then it's like, are they trade Russ?
Speaker 1: Is their only tradable asset there unless they're gonna stack
Speaker 1: like nine guys which are not so is Russ gonna
Speaker 1: go play with Katie again?
Speaker 4: How does that? It's just.
Speaker 2: And really bad picks, like really really future like twenty seven,
Speaker 2: twenty nine, right, that's all they can offer? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: not great?
Speaker 3: Noikes, good stuff.
Speaker 5: Kyrie on Phoenix is concerning I read og in New
Speaker 5: Orleans was a thing too. Those are two teams that
Speaker 5: are both behind Sacramento.
Speaker 4: OG in New Orleans would be sick. The Pelicans would
Speaker 4: be really hard to beat.
Speaker 6: They just what do they give?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5: They just have to Like I mean, they've played without
Speaker 5: one or the other before, Like I don't feel that
Speaker 5: this skid is like massive for them. Yea, yeah, they've
Speaker 5: struggled without one guy. They've They've never struggled like this, Yeah,
Speaker 5: Ingram's been back for a handful of games now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, they need to figure something out. Zion's nowhere
Speaker 3: to be found. So I don't know what that is about.
Speaker 6: Did James said he was reading something today he just
Speaker 6: started to run.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, this is like the very vintage Zions.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They said they're not putting any time for a return
Speaker 2: on him at all. So I mean, I don't think
Speaker 2: he'll be back by the All Star break, or maybe
Speaker 2: he'll be back after the All Star break, but like,
Speaker 2: it seems like very zion Ish to come back the
Speaker 2: day before the All Star Break and then play in
Speaker 2: the All Star Game and then and then missed a
Speaker 2: bunch of time after there.
Speaker 5: Yes, Unfortunately, trist is gonna go glue herself to the
Speaker 5: NBA offices in New York to get dear and into
Speaker 5: the All Star Game.
