Speaker 1: there is here, we are Hello everybody on YouTube. Hello,

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: podcast listeners. Slop season is upon us, so now is

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: the perfect perfect time for our next guest. You've read

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: his words at Hoops Hype. You heard his voice on

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: the Hoops Hype podcast. He's a senior NBA insider who's

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: covered the league for a very long time. It's Michael Scotto.

14
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: It's up, Michael.

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Fella's first time long time on my end.

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 4: How's everything going.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that this is the first time we've

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: had Michael Scotto on No Dunks. It's great. We're excited

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: to have you. Don't want to waste any of your

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: time because you could get a call and a trade happens.

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Here live this morning for all we know. So let's

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: jump into it. I want to start with Anthony Davis

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: because I got to know now that he has this

24
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: hand injury. What's his status with the Mavericks possibly trying

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: to move Anthony Davis? Is that off the table for

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: now as we get closer to the deadline.

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: Well, he's supposed to be going for a second opinion now,

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 3: so sometime today, so we'll say. But I mean, big picture,

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: it definitely hurts his market. You know, already there was

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: a limited number of teams that were really interested in

31
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 3: trying to get him. The injury's not helping. I thought

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: their best shot at getting something.

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: Done would have been with Atlanta.

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: You know, Toronto had also called and whatnot, but you know,

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: Atlanta had the expiring contracts that they're looking for and

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: guys like Christaphsporzingis and Luke Canard. You know, Dallas would

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 3: have liked to get Zachary Resache and the New Orleans

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: first round pick that Atlanta has, but they're not giving

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: that away.

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that.

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 3: As far as res Che goes, they have been resistant

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: from what I had heard.

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 4: To include him in the talks.

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: So you know, at this point, now with a d

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: being out, most executives I talked to around the league

46
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 3: think that this is going to go now into the offseason.

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: And for Dallas it makes things interesting because if you're

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: going to have a D out for a prolonged period

49
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: of time, and you've got Kyrie Irving also coming back

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: from a major injury, might not be the worst thing

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: in the world to focus on Cooper Flagg and you know,

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: developing him and if you get another high lottery pick,

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: putting that player with Cooper and then seeing what it

54
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: looks like with a D and Kyrie.

55
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 4: Looking ahead towards the summer, let's get to.

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: John Morin since he is so high in all the circles.

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 5: In fact, he's going to Berlin right now with the

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 5: Memphis Grizzlies.

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: We've got two.

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: Gayarr he just practice.

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: He just practiced, Okay.

62
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the word is that he's actually going to

63
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 5: play in Berlin. Then they got to go to one

64
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 5: very very interesting. Actually, I should ask you, are you

65
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 5: going to Europe for Hoopsype to cover these games?

66
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: Now I'm here in Brooklyn. I'm freezing.

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 6: Berlin too.

68
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: Well, let's get to jum Urrant.

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: What are the talks around John Morant moving this uh

70
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 5: coming few weeks here before the trade deadline.

71
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, the thing with John Moran right

72
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: now is teams are looking at a guy as a

73
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: talent play, whether it's anyone from you know, the Milwaukee Bucks,

74
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves have kind of lessened their appetite for.

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: Him a little bit from what I've heard. I just

76
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: think overall, for.

77
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: John and Memphis, it's really the first time they've been

78
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: listening for a guy of his caliber. They had always

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: been resistant on moving him, and now that's gonna be

80
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: another domino that teams are monitoring in terms of if

81
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: he goes then what could happen down the line with

82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: Jaron Jackson Junior. Not saying anything imminent now, but the

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 3: vultures are always swarming and looking for the next star

84
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: that could be available. You know, when it comes to Jah,

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: his drives have been down, his field goal percentage at

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: the rim have been down. Some teams think that he

87
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: could be kind of rejuvenated if he goes to a

88
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: new situation. You know, he had the incident earlier this

89
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: season with Memphis head coach. Never really seemed like since

90
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: then it got to the place where it was a

91
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: few years ago in terms of his happiness level. So

92
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: there's definitely teams checking in. I'm curious if they're going

93
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: to get more than what the Hawks got for Trey Young.

94
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: I think that's what the league is trying to figure

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 3: out right now, and time will tell there. But we've

96
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: got a few weeks to go before the deadline, so

97
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: we're going to see if anything shakes. But there's a

98
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: few more teams interested than what I had just said.

99
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: But as of this moment in Berlin, nothing is quote

100
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: unquote imminent yet. But Zach Clemon's phone is on and he's.

101
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 6: Got the international package. Does he he's got.

102
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: The probably got what he's probably got? What zapp FaceTime

103
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: everything work?

104
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 6: And how did the tray Young trade affect the market

105
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 6: for Joss. That's gonna be a thing that's kind of

106
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 6: like setting the price for him going forward, because I mean,

107
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 6: the price for tray was pretty low, and as we

108
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 6: saw it, it seemed like there was only one suitor

109
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 6: for the trade for the Hawks, but it sounds like

110
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 6: there's more teams for Ja Morant. Once the tray Young

111
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 6: trade went through, We're teams thinking, wow, we could really

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 6: get a great deal.

113
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: Here on joh yeah, Look, I think teams look put

114
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 3: it this way. So Zach Cleman's coming off getting four

115
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 3: first round picks for Desmond Bane. Now part of that,

116
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: it was one of those picks was to take on

117
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: Contavious Colwell Pope's contract, which I always try to remind people,

118
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: but big picture was still a noworthy trade.

119
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: And so for John Morant, is he going to command that?

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: No?

121
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 4: Probably not.

122
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: But with that said, teams are obviously looking at the

123
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: Trey Young trade saying okay.

124
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 4: We can get John to buy low.

125
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: And obviously the Grizzlies are trying to push back against

126
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 3: that to level the playing field a little bit, because

127
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: they seem to have more teams interested than Atlanta did

128
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: with Trey Young, and truthfully, Washington was the most aggressive

129
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: and looking at Trey Young as a guy that they

130
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: can keep, you know, going into the future.

131
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 4: I personally think it's going to be interesting to.

132
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: See if they end up with the number one pick

133
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: and they get Darren Peterson, and let's revisit this conversation

134
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: if that happens regarding Trey even though they probably would

135
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: still want to keep him in some form, but it

136
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: would change it to the dynamics, certainly, but the team's looking

137
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: at John Morant. If you're trading for this guy and

138
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: you're giving up at least a first you know, I

139
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: would say that you're trying to get him to either

140
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: get a Bilo talent or a guy that.

141
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: You think can move the needle for you.

142
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: For example, like if you're Milwaukee and you've been looking

143
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: for a guy to help, be honest, is this something

144
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 3: in your price range where you haven't been able to

145
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: get the elite stars elsewhere? Do you take a chance

146
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: here and try to go for it? You know, with

147
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: an important summer looking ahead for Giannis, when in October

148
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: they can offer the guy two hundred and seventy five

149
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: million dollars and ultimately, you know you're gonna know where

150
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: this guy stands one way or the other. You know,

151
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: nobody's gonna have to ask him where he stands, or

152
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: you know what his agents are saying behind the scenes.

153
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah.

154
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: Now you're the onus is gonna be on him squarely

155
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: at that point.

156
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Golden State Warriors, because they're an

157
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: interesting team here. Obviously, sort of around five hundred, you

158
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: got Steph Curry still playing an elite level. It feels

159
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: like fans and a lot of even just casual NBA

160
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: fans are like, come on, they does they should go

161
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: for it? Like you honest, I guess with Milwaukee, you

162
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: should sort of one last push for Steph Curry to

163
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: try and maybe win another championship. What are you hearing

164
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: from Golden State and what they're looking at trying to acquire?

165
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: Are they aggressive or are they gonna stamp pat What

166
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: are you hearing, Michael?

167
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean obviously they felt they try to

168
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: help stuff a little bit with the acquisition of Jimmy Butler.

169
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 3: They only gave up a first so I think for them,

170
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: Trey Murphy's been a guy that they've been linked to.

171
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 6: For a while.

172
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: They've always been high on him since the NBA Draft

173
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: when he came into the league during his class. But

174
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: with that said, you know, a price tag for Trey

175
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,119
Speaker 3: Murphy essentially would be similar to the Desmond Baine package,

176
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 3: and I don't know if Golden State has the appetite

177
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: for that. They've always looked more at a guy like

178
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: Giannis if they were really gonna empty the c and

179
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: get rid of a bunch of those draft picks that

180
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: they had, and they've got the younger guys and Jonathan kaminga,

181
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: Moses Moody, you know, whether it was Pad Jemski a

182
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: little bit or some of their other guys as well,

183
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: if they're ever going to make a big splash like

184
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 3: that or probably be more for you, honest. But they've

185
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 3: definitely looked at Trey Murphy as well. They've also looked

186
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: at the center market, you know, Brooklyn's Nick Claxton. They've

187
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: looked at guys like Robert Williams more on a by low,

188
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: but obviously he has some injury concerns, and there's other

189
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: centers out there that are, you know, being talked about.

190
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: Certainly Daniel Gafford with the Dallas Mavericks has come up,

191
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: but I mean they're walking wounded right now without Derek

192
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 3: Lively and Anthony Davis, so I think that price tag.

193
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 4: Would be a little higher.

194
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: Then you even got some other guys, like people were

195
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: shooting their chaff for a Vitza Zubats from the Los

196
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: Angeles Clippers. Now they've been on a roll, so the

197
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: Clippers have been less shown less of an appetite.

198
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 4: To move him.

199
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 3: But even then when they were listening, it was at

200
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: least two first round picks from what I had heard,

201
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 3: that they would have wanted, plus maybe another young player.

202
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 4: It's a lot for a guy in his prime.

203
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: And then you got some Bilo guys also, like even Eves

204
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: Missy with the New Orleans Pelicans, who's had a reduced role,

205
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: but a guy the teams around the league think can help.

206
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: And one thing we know about the Warriors, I mean,

207
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: at least we feel like we do, is that they

208
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: are going to move off of Jonathan Kaminga.

209
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 6: Who wants them? Are you hearing any.

210
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Other team besides the Sacramento Kings that possibly have an

211
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: interest in trying to acquire Kaminga? As you know, we'll

212
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: get closer to that January fifteenth date where he could

213
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: be moved.

214
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean, I've heard some teams that say they like them,

215
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: but the reality of the situation is the team that's

216
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 3: had put some action behind their interests has been the

217
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 3: Sacramento Kings. Now over the summer, they were willing, from

218
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 3: what I had heard, to offer a protected first round

219
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: pick that does not seem to be on the table

220
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: as of now. We'll see if that change is coming

221
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: up in the next few weeks, but given the situation,

222
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: doesn't seem likely. You know, this was this has been

223
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: a marriage that has always seemed like it was going

224
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: to end up in a split one way or the other. Uh.

225
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 3: You know, obviously the Warriors front office and ownership has

226
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: valued Jonathan coming to one way. Coach Steve Kerr has

227
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: played him another and Jonathan come in good things highly

228
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: of himself, and so does his camp. So you've got

229
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: those three factors culminating. And right now, with the way

230
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 3: the market's been, it's been a little bit drier in general,

231
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: so I you know, the market for him isn't as

232
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: robust for and for a lot of guys.

233
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 4: So for JK, I think ideally.

234
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: Golden State would put him in a package for a

235
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: bigger player, but if it was something with Sacramento, that

236
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: would be more of a fallback kind of option for them,

237
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: multip because then you're talking about a guy like Malik Monk.

238
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 3: And you know, second one, I's been trying to get

239
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: off Devin Carter, not saying Golden State has wanted to

240
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: do that, but just given some context.

241
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: To the situation. So we'll see what shakes for JK.

242
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: But certainly a name that executives are looking hard at

243
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: as a guy that could be moved by the trade deadline.

244
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 5: Speaking of big players, Michael Porter Junior's name has been

245
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 5: buzzing the last couple of weeks. He's coming off first

246
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 5: few months here with the Brooklyn Nets. Are the Warriors

247
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 5: linked to him? Is there an actual possibility of the

248
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: Nets getting off of a guy that they just traded

249
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 5: for who is excelling in Brooklyn where it's obviously cold

250
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 5: for you, As you said.

251
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean look for first of all, Michael Porter Junior.

252
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody has helped his trade value more

253
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 3: than Michael Porter Junior given the deal that he just

254
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: came off of in the trade for Cam Johnson and

255
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: Denver giving up an unprotected future first round pick. Nobody's

256
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: ever questioned Michael Porter Junior's talent. It was always good

257
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 3: as back.

258
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 4: Hold up. This is one of the top.

259
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: Recruits in his class, actually the number one recruit at

260
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: the time in terms.

261
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 4: Of Golden State.

262
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: They've definitely had internal discussions about him. Some guys in

263
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: that front office are higher on him than others. So

264
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 3: he is a guy that they've looked at. But I've

265
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: said this on yes, network and out reiterated here with

266
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: you guys, Brooklyn wants to take a step forward. Now

267
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: how far that step is I'm not sure yet, but

268
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: there's a real shot that Michael Porter Junior is still

269
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: a part of this team at some point. You have

270
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: to have talent on the roster. I think if Brooklyn

271
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: is going to move Michael Porter Junior, it has to

272
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 3: be asset driven, where it's something that would make so

273
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: much sense for them, like, for example, a draft pick

274
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: that you really couldn't say no to. Either you're gonna

275
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: use it or you're gonna flip it for a guy

276
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: that's even better than Michael Porter Jr. Who, by the way,

277
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 3: has been an All Star candidate this year, as you

278
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 3: guys kind of alluded to. So you know, the Bucks

279
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: also have had internal dialogue about a guy like him.

280
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: I had heard previously, even the Los Angeles Clippers, but

281
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: again they've been hot as of late. So Michael Porter

282
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: Junior has gotten a lot of interest around the league,

283
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: and well deserved. But again, we've got a couple of

284
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 3: weeks until we're gonna find out if the actions meet

285
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: the words.

286
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 6: You mentioned that the Warriors are kind of trying to

287
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 6: keep their powder dry to maybe chase after Yannis, but

288
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 6: also that the Bucks are looking at Michael Porter Junior

289
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 6: to help around Giannis. Where do things stand with Milwaukee

290
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 6: right now? Are they going to be a buyer or

291
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 6: a seller at the deadline? Is janis available at all?

292
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 6: Has things changed in any sort of way or is

293
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 6: this the honest staying locked in for this team in

294
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 6: letting the back room machinations happen.

295
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 3: Okay, So as far as Jannis goes, look, unless Jannisan

296
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: Tanakompo asked.

297
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 4: For a trade, he was never going anywhere.

298
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: He's been the face of the franchise for the Bucks,

299
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: and as I alluded to earlier on the show with

300
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: you guys in October, they have the opportunity to offer

301
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: him a two hundred and seventy five million dollar extension. Ultimately,

302
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: that's what the Milwaukee Bucks would like to do. So

303
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: for now, again, there hasn't been any trade request from him,

304
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: and the Milwaukee Bucks are operating as a team that

305
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: is trying to be a buyer going into the trade deadline.

306
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: They've been linked to, respectfully, everybody and their mother. I mean,

307
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: you got Zach Lavine, Jeremy Grant, Michael Porter Junior, Anthony Simons,

308
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you name it, anybody that's remotely available, Jah

309
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: Morant obviously what I touched on earlier. Don't want to

310
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 3: forget him. They've they've been linked to everybody. John Horst

311
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 3: is always trying to make this team better and maximize

312
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 3: the prime of Jannis, and he's he's just doubled down

313
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: on it, and I I guess you got to give

314
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: him credit for that. In one way, they made the

315
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: move to get Miles Turner to replace Brook Lopez. They've

316
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: always tried to add as long as Giannis on ten

317
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: and Koompo was on this team, that's going to be

318
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: their plan going forward. And as I touched on in

319
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: October in an ideal world, to get him to sign

320
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: that extension.

321
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about a lot of the popular names.

322
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, John Ramichael Porter Junior or Kaminga. Whether

323
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: or not you know Giannis is available or not? Sounds

324
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: like he's not, doesn't want to demand a trade. Are

325
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: there any other names we're missing here? Michael that or

326
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: at least you know people that are casually watching this

327
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: that you're hearing like, oh, this player, even if it's

328
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: like not a superstar level or all star level player

329
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: that we should be looking into more that could possibly

330
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: be moved before the deadline.

331
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 3: I can tell you teams have like looked at Kobe

332
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 3: White on the Chicago Bulls.

333
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: I think he's a good player. Yep, you know.

334
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: Obviously some teams have wondered somewhat similarly to John morant

335
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 3: is Zion Williamsion worth a by low pitch to the

336
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: New Orleans Pelicans. Herb Jones is a guy a lot

337
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 3: of teams like, but that would require probably at least

338
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 3: two first round picks and a young player, like they

339
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: really value him in the contract that he's on elsewhere

340
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 3: around the league. I feel like those are those are

341
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: some good names. I'd have to think more, but I'm

342
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: kind of looking at my cheat sheet in the background.

343
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look at that.

344
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 4: I think more or less we we kind of hit

345
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: on it, you know, for now at least.

346
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: Well, my follow up question then, is you've done this

347
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: for a very long time, You've gone through a lot

348
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: of NBA trade deadlines. Do you expect this to be

349
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: a very active trade deadline? A quiet one, pretty average,

350
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: and things will be kicked down into the summer, like

351
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: what's your gut say, having talked to all these executives

352
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: and teams, Well.

353
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: I could tell you from talking to executives, this is

354
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 3: my fifteenth year doing this. Overall, it's one of the

355
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 3: quieter ones in terms of chatter around. I think any

356
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 3: executive would tell you that. Obviously, sure, some big names

357
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 3: always come up. We saw with Trey, we're seeing it

358
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 3: now with John Morant, Anthony Davis before the injury. So

359
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: I mean there's always chatter and whatnot, But I don't

360
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: think these guys are going for what you thought, like

361
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 3: the days of the Rudy Gobert trade packages, Michale Bridges,

362
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 3: Desmond Bane.

363
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: It's almost like.

364
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 3: Those and those guys weren't even with all due respect,

365
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: like they're not superstars.

366
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 4: And then you look at what's it's funny with.

367
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 3: Some of these execs say to me is like, so

368
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: look at the packages of Trey Young and Luka Doncic

369
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 3: got like the market's a little weird.

370
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 6: I'm going to be honest.

371
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, from talking.

372
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 3: To UH executives, So what I will say is if

373
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: this does come to fruition, that there's not going to

374
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 3: be as much trade chatter and trades coming to fruition.

375
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 4: It sets up a bigger summer, deary.

376
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: Right, I mean it feels like at this point with

377
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: the second apron and all the aprons, like trades are

378
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: just easier in the off season, right, you got roster

379
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: limits are bigger, and you've got more financial wiggle room

380
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: these teams do. And you know where you're drafting, I

381
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: think is a huge part of it as well.

382
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: And you get more draft capital.

383
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, maybe it's become just this thing where

384
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: it's like I.

385
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 4: Just hit it.

386
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I just hit the nail on the

387
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: head about having more draft capital.

388
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: Look at a team like the Miami Heat, for example.

389
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: It's a good point and you can put more into

390
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: a potential deal, do you think And as we start

391
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: wrapping up here, let's talk about the Heat because are

392
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: they one of these teams that are waiting for like

393
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: the big super duper superstar like maybe a YNT or

394
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: maybe someone else, and less likely to move, you know,

395
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: to a smaller sort of tier down type of all star.

396
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 3: If you've ever played NFL ANASC football in an auction draft,

397
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 3: the Miami Heat are always that team that like is

398
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 3: in the bidding, but they don't seem to go. They

399
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: just don't seem to put all in and put like

400
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, yeah exactly, like but you always have

401
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: that guy that kind of like, oh, I'm in there,

402
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 3: I was in the bidding.

403
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: It's like, well you stop bidding at like forty.

404
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: Dollars if the guy went for sixty dollars in the

405
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: fantasy draft. So okay, But I mean for the heat,

406
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: like kalel Ware is obviously a guy that's gotten interest

407
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: around the league. You know, if they were going to

408
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: do anything big, obviously you got to look at Tyler

409
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: Hero because of his salary. Simone Fantecho shout out to

410
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 3: the Paison.

411
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 4: He's got a nice contract as well.

412
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: So I mean they obviously like Norman Powell, they like

413
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: Bam out of Bio.

414
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 4: You know, I just think for now.

415
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 3: Obviously, if there was a guy like if they could

416
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: get John Moran on the cheap, that would be intriguing.

417
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 3: And if you put Terry Rozier's contract and put it

418
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 3: to use, you know, amid all the legal stuff that

419
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: he's going through at the moment, that'd be a pretty

420
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: good use of the assets.

421
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 4: So you know, again, if it's like a by Low

422
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 4: kind of guy.

423
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: Sure, if they're gonna do anything like going for Giannis,

424
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 3: you kind of gotta wait till the summer when you

425
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: have more draft capital available in future years and really

426
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: look to move the needle. You know, everybody says they're

427
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: gonna make that big splash for Yanna, so they would

428
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: do it.

429
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 4: They'd put all the.

430
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: Chips in the center of the table. All right, we're

431
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: gonna see who's about that action, boss.

432
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: Before I let you go one more team I am

433
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: curious about you've written about them, Michael. The Celtics, I believe,

434
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: are like twelve point one million dollars above the luxury

435
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: tax heading into the trade deadline, and like teams across

436
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: the league are wondering if they're going to try and

437
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: duck the tax and get out of the potential repeater tax,

438
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: or are they going to look to actually bolster this

439
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: roster because you know, they've been pretty good with Jayleen

440
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: Brown leading away and maybe Tatum comes back. What's your

441
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: read on the direction Brad Stevens and the Celtics organization

442
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: are going to go?

443
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 6: Here?

444
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Are they going to try and add to this team

445
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: or try and duck the tax?

446
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 3: Well, what's interesting is they've looked at both options. So

447
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: what I mean by that is, for one, they've looked

448
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 3: at different scenarios where they can move off of Anthony

449
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 3: Simons's contract and duck the luxury tax the Brooklyn Nets

450
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: had come up.

451
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 4: You know, even dating back.

452
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: They've had conversations dating back to the summer, and this

453
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: is before the Nets drafted the flat Bush five and

454
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: they got a bunch of rookies and a lot of guards.

455
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: But in terms of the Nets, they valued Aaron Sharp.

456
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 3: They tried to sign him in the summer and offer

457
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: him a chance to compete for their starting center spot,

458
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 3: but they only had a minimum. The Nets had a

459
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: six point twenty five million dollars on the table.

460
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: Obviously he took that.

461
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: Good for him.

462
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: But also if you included along with Dyaron Sharp, Zire

463
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: Williams or camp Thomas, that would allow financially Boston to

464
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 3: duck the tax. Brooklyn would want a first round pick.

465
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: Boston's been resistant. We'll see who wins in the game

466
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 3: of chicken leading up to the trade deadline if they

467
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: go that direction or if they try to move them elsewhere.

468
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 3: They've also had conversations looking at a guy like Aviza Zubac,

469
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: and trying to upgrade at center, which is a player

470
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 3: that they would need, whether it's not only now but

471
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 3: in the future to kind of fortify that position. Now,

472
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: what I would say ultimately in the next couple of

473
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: weeks is they learn more information on the market and

474
00:23:54,760 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 3: I think more importantly on Jason Tatum. If their buyers,

475
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: one would logically think there's at least a chance that

476
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 3: Tatum is coming back, because why would you make that

477
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: move to bolster the team when you could really set

478
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: yourself up for better flexibility long term and get out

479
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 3: of the repeater tax unless you think Tatum's coming back.

480
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: I mean, they could say to themselves, hey, the East

481
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: is wide open even without them now, and they would

482
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: have a valid case for that. They have certainly outperformed

483
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: expectations I think from the media and some executives around

484
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: the league quite frankly, not within themselves. I mean, Peyton

485
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: Pritchard and Joe Mizzoula always talked about, you know, the

486
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 3: championship standard, but which way they go? To me? The

487
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 3: bigger story here, guys, is that would give me and

488
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 3: I think the rest of the league in indication on

489
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: how they feel about Jason Tatum's health, his potential availability

490
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 3: looking ahead. Let's not ask this guy to be the

491
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: guy that's an Olympian, a guy that's been a perennial

492
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 3: All Star, like just coming back off of a devastating injury.

493
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 3: But I mean, if you get that guy back for

494
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 3: any amount of time, that would be a huge step

495
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: forward to their aspirations to win another championship.

496
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

497
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, especially in an open Eastern Conference.

498
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 5: Like you said, yeah, this is supposed to be an

499
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: open Eastern Conference, but the Cavs have disappointed. So last

500
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 5: question before we let you go, Michael or Jared Allen

501
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 5: or Darius Garland available for the rest of the league,

502
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 5: because this is a team that's got a lot of

503
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 5: salary tied up next season and the following season, and

504
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 5: being that they're at this point here where they are underwhelming,

505
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 5: is there a position for them where they say we're

506
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 5: getting off Garland or we're getting off Jared Allen.

507
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: All task, I mean, look, certainly teams have been shooting

508
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: this shot for Darius Garland Jared Allen. They've also called

509
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 3: on Donovan Mitchell because heck, luka, Doncics got traded, you

510
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: might as well Cleveland's Yeah, I mean Cleveland's were rebuffed

511
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: all of this talk. I would say, look, certainly, they're

512
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 3: well above the second Apron, they're limited. If they're going

513
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: to try to do something, you know, you got to

514
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: look more at a guy like DeAndre Hunter. Can they

515
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 3: do something with like Lonzo balls contract and they do?

516
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: You know what's gonna happen with Max Struce. But right now,

517
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: as far as their core guys, it doesn't.

518
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 4: Seem like anything as likely as of now, I would

519
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: say that you look, you brought up a good point.

520
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: They've underwhelmed. There's no secret about that.

521
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: If they have another early playoff exit, teams around the

522
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 3: league are definitely looking at Garland and Jared Allen as guys.

523
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: One of those two potentially could get moved because what

524
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: are you gonna have a team that far over the

525
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: second apron if you're not moving the needle in terms

526
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 3: of the production on the court. So it's a big

527
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 3: year for Cleveland, but again, this is they wanted to

528
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 3: build around this core. They believe in this core, and

529
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: ultimately the proof is going to be in the pudding

530
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: in a couple of months here as we get closer

531
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: towards the playoffs, and we'll see but I think as

532
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: of now, to overall answer your question, if Garland and

533
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: or Alan is going to be moved, it would probably

534
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: be towards the summer as of now.

535
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: Well, Michael, this is your first time on No Dunks,

536
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: but let's not make it your last. Good luck with

537
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: the trade deadline. We'll be following you on Hoopshype and

538
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: hope to have you back on soon to maybe talk

539
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: about some of the moves that do or do not

540
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 1: happen here as we get closer to February fifth.

541
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 6: Stay warm there in Brooklyn.

542
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: All right, thanks fellow, sure thing, my pleasure. Happy to

543
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: do it, and look forward to the next time as well.

544
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 3: Have a great rest of the day.

545
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 6: Awesome, Thanks all right.

546
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: Thumbs up in the chat for Michael Scotto from hoops

547
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,919

552
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: getting his insight into some of these trade rumors. We

553
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: got lots more to talk about here. We're gonna get

554
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: into some of last night's games and some other things.

555
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: In the updown report. But first a quick break to

556
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 1: hear from our sponsor. When I say NBA, what's the

00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:22,880

Speaker 1: five hundred. That back token sounds like.

575
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 6: J Gandolf definitely one comeback player of the year, one

576
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 6: good call. I like Lego loss in the three point contest.

577

582
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: hit the light button, subscribe five star ratings and reviews

583
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: from everybody out there.

584
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 6: But let's get into the Updown Report.

585
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 4: Oh Man.

586
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 6: Filling in for the Updown Report.

587
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: Music was that because we had a guest on JD

588
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: and you know the audio channels.

589
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 6: Crowd channels. It's crazy doing that with Michael Scotto and

590
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 6: not hearing the names Nikolovich, Miles Turner or John Collins

591
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 6: once fifteen years, he's probably said one of those names

592
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 6: every single.

593
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: Trait that night.

594
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 6: They're always at Ruber. That's a good point AP this year.

595
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Updown Report, here's what we're doing because

596
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: I want to touch on a fuel last night's games

597
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: that we're putting them into the Updown Report because we

598
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: had some upsets last night. We had the Jazz bouncing

599
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: back after a fifty five point loss to the Hornets

600
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: to beat the Cavaliers, to beat the underwhelming Cavaliers one

601
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: twenty three, one twelve. We had Siakam and the Pacers

602
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: getting by the Celtics in a close one ninety eight

603
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: ninety six. That's the first three game win streak of

604
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: the season four indie. And then Malik Monk hit seven

605
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: three pointers scored twenty six points as the Kings beat

606
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: the Lakers one twenty four to one to twelve. I

607
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: think that's a big upset. So I asked you guys

608
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: up or down on the Kings topping the Lakers as

609
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: the biggest upset of the night. You agree or disagree

610
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: and think it was one of the other ones, tass,

611
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: what do you got.

612
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 5: The Lakers was the biggest one because it was super

613
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 5: disappointing against Sacramento Kings. Malik Monk splashing, as you said,

614
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 5: he's ready to be traded.

615
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 2: Bang bang bang.

616
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 5: But the problem was the Lakers just kept missing, and

617
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 5: you could see the Kings pushing it a little bit,

618
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: taking a lot of shots early in the shot clock

619
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: because they were receiving those long rebounds and the Lakers

620
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 5: just weren't getting back fast enough. I saw this that

621
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 5: in the first half forty of Sacramento sixty one points

622
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 5: were early in shot clock areas. The shot clock was quick,

623
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 5: and they were fire in because they were able to

624
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: just run because those long threes were missing. As we know,

625
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 5: the Lakers are the now the worst three point shooting

626
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 5: team in the NBA, even though they're moving the ball

627
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 5: very well, they're moving it super well, but they were

628
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 5: just clanking. The only guy who's hitting threes was Gabe

629
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 5: off the bench. Really, he was the man. You know

630
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 5: they're starting Marcus Smart, he keeps clanking. Obviously, Austin Reeves

631
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 5: isn't playing right now. Ruy didn't play last night. We'll

632
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 5: play tonight. But it just felt like this was a

633
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 5: three point contest and the Kings won seventeen of twenty six,

634
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: shooting sixty five percent. So that was the disappointing part

635
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 5: for the Lakers. And this was literally like a blow up.

636
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

637
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: Zilla wrote in his newsletter this morning that the Lakers

638
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: earned a reputation as a mediocre team with a good

639
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: record is finally catching up to them. LA's four and

640
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: six in their last ten. They're only a half game

641
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: out of the play in area. They're twenty sixth defensively

642
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: in the league. It's bad, TK, It's quite bad. But

643
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: was that the biggest upset to you last night?

644
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, you got to give a shout out

645
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 6: to the Jazz a plus sixty five point turnaround going

646
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: through losing by fifty five, I guess sixty six actually

647
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 6: winning by eleven. That was cool for them. But it's

648
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 6: got to be the Kings beating the Lakers. That's pretty

649
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 6: disappointing for LA to see Sacramento shoot sixty five percent

650
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 6: from three. That's crazy. Seventeen of twenty six unbelievable, that

651
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 6: is amazing. Yeah, the Lakers, though, are twenty eighth in

652
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 6: defense since December. First down the stretch, it wasn't really

653
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 6: three pointers. It was like mid range jumpers and easy buckets.

654
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 6: And there's no way for the Lakers to fight this

655
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 6: because it was just put Luca and Lebron into action

656
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 6: every single time. Eventually they had to start double teaming

657
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 6: and then the rotations were too slow for LA. A

658
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 6: Luca team needs to have defense, the Lakers don't have that.

659
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 6: A Luca team needs to have shooting. They're the worst

660
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 6: shooting team in the league. It makes sense that it

661
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 6: actually isn't working here unless Luca has a great game,

662
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 6: which he did last night. But he needs somebody else

663
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 6: to have a great game alongside him. So this Lakers

664
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 6: team they need to make some sort of a move,

665
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 6: or they just need to kind of understand that this

666
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 6: is a gap year for them and take your chances

667
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, because they do have this good clutch

668
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 6: game record, though it's a little fraudulent, as we've just

669
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 6: discussed with the minutes, and they finally did take their

670
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 6: first loss. But it just seems easy to score on

671
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 6: the Lakers. They've had a guard score twenty five or

672
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 6: more twenty times against them this season, and that's just

673
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 6: from the perimeter. Anybody can beat anybody on the perimeter

674
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 6: for the Lakers. So I just don't really see how

675
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 6: this team is a serious playoff threat. They do have

676
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 6: three really great players, great offensive players at least, but

677
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 6: once Reeves is back, assuming they don't trade him like Lebron,

678
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 6: James's agent, slash podcast host wants to be wants him

679
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 6: to be traded. That's crazy, man, It is honestly crazy

680
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 6: that Rich Paul is going on a podcast and saying

681
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 6: the team needs to trade one of Lebron's teammates. Yeah,

682
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 6: Lakers are under five hundred since that podcast started. I

683
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 6: wonder if that has any sort of effect on the

684
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 6: way the team sees each other in the locker room

685
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 6: because they don't feel like they're connected together. And it

686
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 6: doesn't even seem to me like they understand what the

687
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 6: problem is. Postgame, they're like, yeah, we just miss shots.

688
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 6: You miss shots all the time. They don't play defense either,

689
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 6: So which is that the offense or the defense?

690
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 5: Kind of both, Yeah, it kind of both for sure.

691
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: As I said, the worst three pointed shooting team. And

692
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 5: then as you shoot those, the other team runs a

693
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 5: little bit and gets into an early shot clock. And

694
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 5: that's where you saw Leak Monk hit the first couple

695
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 5: of his seven threes, and then he hit a couple

696
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 5: of big ones at the end. When JJ Reddick in

697
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter and he said this postgame press conference,

698
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 5: he said, we've got to double now because we're down eight,

699
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 5: down ten. We need the ball. And they're hitting open

700
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 5: threes after they splash, after they start excuse they make

701
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 5: that pass out of the doubles. So yeah, you got

702
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 5: a good, good flow going. Malik Monk can obviously score

703
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 5: after those couple threes, after those rebounds and they run

704
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 5: and it kept up. I mean him and Russ those

705
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 5: guys hit eleven threes combined.

706
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: Westbrook Revenge game. He's got a lot of teams to

707
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: pick from.

708
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: But I.

709
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 6: Think he hates the Lakers most of them. Yeah, they

710
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 6: shot on him the most. Absolutely.

711
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

712
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 6: I wonder how the jazz factor in there. He's been

713
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 6: a two time jazz Man but never actually played.

714
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

715
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: Did you see Dave mcmanimons like the actually playing right,

716
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: that's the issues. Did you see Dave mcmanamon's report about

717
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: this game.

718
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 6: That they were like watching Aaron Rodgers get bounced from

719
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 6: the playoffs and have his career ended.

720
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So mcmanimon wrote this morning on ESPN LA had

721
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: the NFL playoff game between the Texans and the Steelers

722
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: playing on the TV in the locker room rather than

723
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,439
Speaker 1: clips from the Lakers King's most recent matchup December twenty eighth.

724
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: I assume mcmahamon knows that the Lakers probably generally do that.

725
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: I guess, like the team you're playing, maybe there's clips going.

726
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: More than half of the thirteen players in uniform for

727
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: the Lakers were not on the court for the national

728
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: anthem and pregame lineup introductions, leaving the bench players who

729
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: were out there to mimic as if they were the

730
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: starters being announced. So the Lakers are just chilling in

731
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: the locker room, really caught up in this Texan Steelers game.

732
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 6: Not a good game either.

733
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: No, that's what I'm saying. What the hell's going on here?

734
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: This is fascinating.

735
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, but yeah, I mean that's not a serious approach

736
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 6: to this. Now. I think they were going to be

737
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 6: able to roll over the Kings, and like Tass said,

738
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 6: the Kinks came out and were like getting easy backcuts.

739
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 6: The Lakers were missing and it was turning into points

740
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 6: on the other end. But it would be fun to

741
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 6: like do a Lebron James impersonation before a game, if

742
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 6: you're you're Jared Vanderbilts. Yeah, I mean, if you're gonna

743
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 6: have to be Lebron, be Lebron right right, right right.

744
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 5: And there was a reason that JJ Red postgame said,

745
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 5: we watched that in film today.

746
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 2: That's how they score. So he was mad. He was mad.

747
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 5: I guess he was mad about guys watching football. They

748
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 5: weren't into it, that's for sure.

749
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: No, And as for the Celtics losing, I don't think

750
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: that was a huge huge upset, even though Pacers are

751
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the league. But everybody

752
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: knows they're a little bit better maybe than the record.

753
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: After the game from this one, Joe Missoula was asked

754
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: six questions after that defeat in Indeed, and to each

755
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: one crazy Joe Mizula. His answer was the exact same

756
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: illegal screen. What was he talking about? Well, he was

757
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 1: talking about what he thought was an illegal screen set

758
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: by Siakam at the top of the three point arc

759
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 1: into the closing seconds of this game that he sat

760
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 1: that he said, I guess on Derek White who lost

761
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: his balance and then Siakam eventually went on to score

762
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: the hell of a shot by Sam as he spun

763
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: away his way into the lane the banker. Yeah, but

764
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: Missoula illegal screen six times.

765
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 6: Obviously feel some type of way about the officiating because

766
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 6: Jalen Brown had his piece to say, he's going to

767
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 6: get fined. Surely Joe Mazoula gonna get fined as well

768
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 6: for this, and maybe he's got a little bit of

769
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 6: a beef if it's not in the last ten seconds

770
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 6: that call happens all the time it was. Yeah, and

771
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 6: the way that Derek White flops going around it, like

772
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 6: that's the lou Dort flop that earns a call A

773
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 6: lot but also a great move by Siakam and you know,

774
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 6: smart to fudge the rules in the final ten seconds.

775
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 6: They'll let you get away with a lot.

776
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 5: D White, Derek Wad did get back in front of basket. Yeah,

777
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 5: they were chilling. It was like okay, I'm I'm burning

778
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 5: clock here. So Derek White had a lot of time

779
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 5: to get back. I mean he took a shoulder and

780
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 5: to the chest and he flopped and so I guess

781
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 5: he was worn down. I mean he had to run

782
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 5: a lot before he had to guard over. I guess,

783
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 5: I guess. Yeah, that's it was an odd one. It's like,

784
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 5: when are you going to call that? It was called

785
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 5: at the end of the women's NCAA tournament a moving screen. No,

786
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 5: that was that was a key one. This one could

787
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 5: have been called.

788
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, it was.

789
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 1: It was a lot of like Sam getting ready to

790
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: like put the screen and he was flipping it and

791
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: like what angle he was gonna come, and then he

792
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: finally decides to go and it's like it's completely being moved.

793
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 6: It was illegal, there's no doubt.

794
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: But then you're right, I mean he got back.

795
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 6: I got back, and.

796
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: Then Siakam, you know, scored an incredible basket.

797
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was the one.

798
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: Anyway, You're right, Celtics are pissed right now with these whistles.

799
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 5: I thought that Jay Huff dunks were the funnest part

800
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 5: of this game.

801
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 2: The Pacers. Jay Huff, this is ridiculous.

802
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 5: The guy is a reverse he's so good at it.

803
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 5: He doesn't do frontword dunks. I mean, I have to

804
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 5: go to the stats, but it's like reversed dump.

805
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean this one. He's always thrown him in

806
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 6: at the very last second. He's like a skateboarder who's

807
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 6: just gonna do I'm doing my move and you'll throw

808
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 6: on a kickflip here. Yeah right, yeah, jay Huff do

809
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 6: a kickflip. But for him, it's reverses. He had the

810
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 6: ball like above the rim. He's like, what, yeah, just

811
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 6: turn around backwards. Ridiculous, but he played well.

812
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm aging myself here. But do you remember the nes

813
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: game double dribble? Oh yeah, I mean we're old enough.

814
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: Everybody here is old enough. A lot of younger people

815
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: have no idea what I'm talking about, but they were

816
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: like it was like an awesome basketball game at the time.

817
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: But when you would dunk in the game, it would go.

818
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: Remember it would go to like the like like interstitial

819
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, and there's the one guy would always

820
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: do the reverse. That's j Huff double dribble guy, hell

821
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: of a dunk. All right, moving on here, Tyrese Maxie

822
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: scored thirty three, dwell and bid twenty seven as a seventy.

823
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: Six Ers used an eighty point first half to get

824
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: revenge on the Raptors one fifteen one oh two last night.

825
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: The win improved Philly to twenty two and sixteen, fifth

826
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: in the East. But Fan Duel JD, I think you

827
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: have this graphic has the Sixers at plus twelve hundred

828
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: to win the conference. So you know, below the calves

829
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: below the magic Nick still the favorites. As you see

830
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: Piston Celtics calves Magic Then Philly, I want to ask

831
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: you guys up or down, Trey get a started here

832
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: on the six Ers chances to legit win the East.

833
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 6: I mean, I gotta be down on this. Okay, it's

834
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 6: the Sixers. Okay, Yeah, they haven't made a conference finals

835
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 6: with Joel Embiid, But I would say I'm more up

836
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 6: than I've ever been on Philadelphia and I would definitely

837
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 6: have them above the Cavs and the Magic. Maybe that's

838
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 6: how I should have asked me. I would have had

839
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 6: them probably fourth after that, because Celtics have caught the

840
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 6: league by storm a little bit. I think they're kind

841
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 6: of a curveball team for teams. Like Michael Scotto was

842
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 6: telling us, it kind of feels like Jason Tatum might

843
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 6: be coming back. We will see, But the Sixers have

844
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 6: been really good this season. Joel Embiid is playing. He's

845
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 6: played in eleven of the last fifteen Sixers games. He

846
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 6: scored twenty or more in all eleven of those games.

847
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 6: His minutes per game is going up month by month

848
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 6: by month. The team is five points per one hundred

849
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 6: possessions better when he's on the court. When him and

850
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 6: Maxie are on the court, Maxi's even better. It does

851
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 6: feel like they could be buyers at the trade deadline

852
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 6: if they can convince themselves that they're actually getting a

853
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 6: run of health from Joel Embiid. They have the Clippers

854
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 6: twenty twenty eight pick in their pockets to trade. They

855
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 6: have their own future picks and either thirty one or

856
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 6: thirty two. They've got some lego kind of contracts that

857
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 6: they could throw into the mix here. I think they

858
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 6: would kind of need more size, maybe some more consistency

859
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 6: on the wing, but it's a big risk. Yeah. I mean,

860
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 6: it's like how embead has been great. He literally looks

861
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,959
Speaker 6: awesome right dunkin, He's duncan right now, he's having fun,

862
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,720
Speaker 6: Like he's starting to be the Joel Embiid of old.

863
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 6: It feels like there's a nice blend of the youth

864
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 6: and the aging. Paul George is just being like, good

865
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 6: Tobias Harris. But apparently that's fine now, Like what was

866
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 6: Tobias Harris on a gigantic contract doing Tobias Harris stuff.

867
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 6: Now that's Paul George and you're like, Okay, that's kind

868
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 6: of fine. I don't think the Sixers are gonna win it,

869
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 6: but I think this has been like the most encouraging

870
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 6: season they've had in five years, where they're like exceeding

871
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 6: expectations and a fun team rather than a complete bummer

872
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,280
Speaker 6: that doesn't live up to expectation. Good year already.

873
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 5: I think for Philadelphia, we like to live in the

874
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 5: moment when it comes to anything in the world, that's

875
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 5: for sure. So maybe after we saw Joel Embiid with

876
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 5: fancy fancy dunk.

877
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 2: We get all excited.

878
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 5: This is, yeah, the best time for the Philadelphia seventy

879
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 5: six ers.

880
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: But you said five years ago.

881
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 5: I mean we can go back literally seven years to

882
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,479
Speaker 5: the twenty nineteen playoffs when Joel Embiid was sick hurt,

883
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 5: sick hurt.

884
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: And we're talking seven years later.

885
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 5: And so, yes, it seems like the Sixers have played

886
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 5: the Joel Embiid health card pretty well in that they've

887
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 5: slow played it to start this season. They've never done

888
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 5: that before where he's playing half the games essentially. But

889
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 5: how can you bet on this Besides Maxi, who was

890
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 5: having an incredible season, this guy is the ultimate raptor killer.

891
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 2: He's the raptor killer. Yeah. He kills the raptors every game.

892
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's talking trash to the oh fans, sty trash.

893
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: To the bench Martin specifically, Yeah, because of last game.

894
00:43:58,800 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

895
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 5: Yes, but this was a back to back in Toronto,

896
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 5: and you could hear Scotty Barnes in his postgame interview

897
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 5: after the win. He was asked about playing Philadelphia the

898
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 5: next night, and he said, well, the big guy is

899
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 5: gonna play. It's gonna be a very different game, right,

900
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 5: But that's who the Philadelphia seventy six ers are we

901
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 5: don't know if he's gonna play. We're talking about a

902
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:20,959
Speaker 5: conference champ here. We're talking about three series for Joel

903
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 5: and b to be really, really good in a conference

904
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 5: where you're gonna go up against Mitchell Robinson probably like

905
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 5: they have. There's some good matchups, even though you know

906
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 5: MBID kicked his ass a couple of years ago.

907
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: That is totally true.

908
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 5: But beyond Maxie, who are you depending on? Rookie and

909
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 5: Edgecombe and injured Kelly Youubray, Jared McCain who hasn't been

910
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 5: fantastic this year. A lot of Trendred Watford or Paul George.

911
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, playoff p Yeah, I can't. They don't

912
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 5: know him in Philadelphia yet. He's got to come to

913
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 5: play a series where they win, because that would be

914
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 5: a Paul George move. But they ain't gonna win three.

915
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 5: I think that's just asking a this team, even though

916
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 5: being able to be better or higher than the Calves.

917
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 5: Than the Calves, yeah they should maybe the Magic Maybe.

918
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 5: I'm just so down on the cas watching them last night.

919
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 5: When did Jazz get out to what was that twenty

920
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 5: one four start? Okay, whatever, the Calves make up for

921
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 5: in the second quarter. Then they come out of their

922
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 5: own locker room and allow the Jazz to score seven

923
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 5: straight possessions, and then allah, the Jazz are back in

924
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 5: this game and they win it. They literally could have

925
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 5: put their their foot on the throat of the Jazz

926
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 5: in that third quarter, but they don't have it. So

927
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 5: that's that's the strange part. When are they going to

928
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 5: just turn it on? That's a good team. We saw

929
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 5: the Pacers turned it on last year after a bad start.

930
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 5: This is mid jan I mean the Pacers started on

931
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 5: a little turned it on a little earlier than this.

932
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 5: So I don't know, it's hard to believe in that team.

933
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 5: But that's a that's a good question. I think i'd

934
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 5: put the Sixers odds at a little better than the Calves,

935
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 5: which I don't know. Maybe that's stupid, Maybe that's recency

936
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 5: bias right there.

937
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: Maybe fun moment from this game not you know, Raptors fans,

938
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: they got waxed. I mean, this game said one to fifteen,

939
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: one oh two. It was not even nearly that close.

940
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 1: It was basically a thirty point drubbing. But Kyle Lowry

941
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: got a rousing standing ovation when he checked in to

942
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: the final what about two minutes of this game in Toronto,

943
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: we had the we want Lowry chance going Nick Nurse

944
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: obliged and got him in there. And he had eighteen

945
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: thousand plus going nuts for the for the groat the

946
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: greatest Raptor of all time and Lowry, you know, he

947
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: was there for these two games, and obviously there was

948
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot of media attention. And I saw a clip

949
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 1: going around. You know, they had cool Lowry sort of

950
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: photos and stuff in the hallway and he's.

951
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 6: Recording them all.

952
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: I mean, he reiterated his plan that he eventually wants

953
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: to sign a one day contract and retire with the

954
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors.

955
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 6: Like it's happening.

956
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: And I tell you what, test I don't know about you,

957
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: but I'll be looking into flights home for a Lowry

958
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: Jersey retirement when that happens.

959
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 6: I'd love to be there.

960
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: Cool.

961
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, this was cool. This was fun and like

962
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 1: he was living it up. His Sixers teammates were loving me.

963
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: He's a beloved guy. I mean, obviously the Raptors fans

964
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: were going nuts because what else were they gonna hear

965
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: about last night?

966
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that was a good moment.

967
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 2: He came out and fired away three shots.

968
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 6: Shots in two minutes. I love the we want Lowry chat,

969
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 6: chance are going and you can hear devil on the broadcast.

970
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 6: They're like, oh yeah Lowry hears him. He's warming up,

971
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 6: and his warming up was like blowing on.

972
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

973
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 6: I was in here for a while, not stretching. I'm

974
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 6: not gonna stretch. He gets in, he checks, He's like,

975
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 6: I'm guarding Garrett Temple. That guy's doing anything either. His

976
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 6: golf buddy was perfect.

977
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

978
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 5: I was watching him stand up. I'm like, does he

979
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 5: have a jersey on under that jacket? Like is he

980
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 5: planning on play plates like before Christmas?

981
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: Maybe very long time. He barely plays, of course, but.

982
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 5: Nick Nurse, their head coach, has to pull him off

983
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,760
Speaker 5: the bench. Want a freaking title with him here in Toronto.

984
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 5: Gotta pull him off the bench for that moment the

985
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 5: hallway going into the Philadelphia's locker room. As he said,

986
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 5: photos of Kyle Lowry, they're all digital photos.

987
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: They switch them up. Kind of cool.

988
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 5: I think I'd rather have put off some photos put

989
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 5: up some actual photos.

990
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 2: Hardy he is the groat.

991
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, digital photos are cool. Well, I heard from.

992
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: Will Lou So shout out to Will Lou and the

993
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: Hello and Welcome podcast the night before the game prior.

994
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

995
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: The Raptors do this for everybody that returns, right like

996
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: if you had to say in the franchise, an assistant coach,

997
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: a former player, whatever, ties they put your name up

998
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: like it's like a welcome back and your photos up

999
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: and like they did everybody for game one, like Nick

1000
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: Nurse was up. There a couple other ties with Philadelphia

1001
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:41,240
Speaker 1: to the Raptors, but this one was just all Lowry

1002
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: for the second game. Just sort of cool. Okay, I

1003
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: get it. They were digital photos and very nice to Kinko's.

1004
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 6: Do you the Raptors got blown out so that Kyle

1005
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 6: Lowry could get this nice moment. Yes, but I was

1006
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 6: very kind. You're welcome.

1007
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 2: One thing I will say about the Raptors.

1008
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 5: I know there's nothing to be excited about. But Brandon

1009
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 5: Ingram came back, and everybody does talk smack about him

1010
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 5: not playing a lot of games or just him in general.

1011
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 5: He has played thirty nine of the forty one games.

1012
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 5: He missed these two previous games, so he's.

1013
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 2: Played thirty nine.

1014
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 5: It's a good number. There, twenty four and seventeen midway

1015
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 5: through the season.

1016
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: That's all right, Yeah, Raptors weren't on that fan duel

1017
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: lest to win the East. What the hell didn't even

1018
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: see them?

1019
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,399
Speaker 6: Is a more? Might be more?

1020
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they could have had the same record with Philly

1021
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: frol I know, I didn't click the more dropped down?

1022
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 6: Man? All right, next one here.

1023
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 1: The Heat Bulls game that was postponed last week due

1024
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 1: to condensation on the court has been rescheduled for January

1025
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, this.

1026
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 6: Time in Miami.

1027
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: It will start a stretch of playing four games in

1028
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,879
Speaker 1: five days for both squads, and we're gonna see them

1029
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 1: play three consecutive games against one another.

1030
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,959
Speaker 6: What is this Baseball up or down?

1031
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: TK on the Bulls Heat playing four games in five

1032
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 1: days due to the slippery court from last week.

1033
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, ultimately I'm down because this sounds like

1034
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 6: four losses for the Bulls. But I'm up for this

1035
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 6: happening because there's just like a mini mid season play

1036
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 6: in tournament here.

1037
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, whoever.

1038
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 6: Win's too out of these three gets the ninth seed.

1039
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 6: They got to brand this, Oh yeah yeah in season

1040
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 6: tournament Part two. This one's not brought to you by

1041
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 6: the Emirates. This one's brought to.

1042
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 4: You by.

1043
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:37,799
Speaker 6: I don't know the Dutch royal family all right, sorry,

1044
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 6: I just saw Victor and Ralph exhibit. They had some

1045
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 6: beautiful dresses that the Princess of the Netherlands were for wedding. Yeah,

1046
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 6: really really beautiful.

1047
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: Well they're sponsoring this weird.

1048
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 6: This is really weird. I guess there's no other way

1049
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 6: to squeeze it in with regards to travel and this

1050
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 6: kind of stuff. There is only a game and a

1051
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 6: half between the eighth seed Heat and the ten seed

1052
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 6: Balls right now, so these games are actually going to matter.

1053
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 6: These three games. It's hard to beat a team three

1054
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 6: times period, playing three times in four days, basically that's nuts.

1055
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: And the you know, the weather in Chicago and the

1056
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: ice under the under the floor costing the Bulls a

1057
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: home game here.

1058
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah too.

1059
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: I mean I don't want to gloss over that, like

1060
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: this was in Chicago, it won't be now.

1061
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 6: It'll be in Miami.

1062
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 1: But are you up or down here on the four

1063
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: and five nights and the three straight I guess baseball series.

1064
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 5: Well, I'm up on it, being that this is something

1065
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 5: different exciting for us. Second thing, they did reduce the

1066
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 5: amount of flight just because they are back backs in

1067
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 5: the same city. But I'm down on not having found

1068
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 5: the sponsor quite yet. I mean the princess from Netherlands

1069
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 5: and her dress. Maybe we got we can work on that. Yeah,

1070
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 5: we got too, gotcha. I like the international angle for sure.

1071
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 5: This is a global game.

1072
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 6: Which cruise line does Mickey Earrison on like Carnival. He's

1073
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 6: a Carnival guy. Yeah, huh okay, I think that could

1074
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 6: be as well, because you know, this is get to

1075
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 6: be like spring break almost time, a little early for

1076
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 6: spring break, but sure, get a sponsor. Yeah what we're saying, yeah,

1077
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 6: get us a three game tournament.

1078
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: Well, Kelly Dwyer, I saw he thinks this is lame,

1079
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: so I guess he would be down in the updown

1080
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: report here he said, should have rescheduled this. But after

1081
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: the season, before the play in April thirteenth, these two

1082
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: teams will end up there anyway, why not extend the

1083
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: intrigue bulls are gonna need all eighty two anyways.

1084
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 6: I like it. I don't mind that idea too.

1085
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: Just put it right at the end, get us ready

1086
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: for the play in by having them basically play a

1087
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: play in for.

1088
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 2: The play in. I hear what Kelly is saying.

1089
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 5: The argument against it is one of those teams is

1090
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 5: going to be really warmed for the play in because

1091
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 5: they play.

1092
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 6: Oh.

1093
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 2: I think one of the crappy parts.

1094
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 5: About the end of the season is you get these

1095
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 5: four days off five hold on, it's Monday to Friday

1096
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 5: that teams have off that are just going directly to

1097
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 5: the playoffs.

1098
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 2: Right, they played the.

1099
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 5: Last regular season game on Sunday and then they play

1100
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 5: their first playoff game either Saturday or Sunday, five or

1101
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 5: six days off.

1102
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 2: That stinks.

1103
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,439
Speaker 5: If you play the Bulls or the Miami Heat play

1104
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 5: they get warm baby, So that I think that's a

1105
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 5: that's that would be.

1106
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: A huge advantage for them, huge And then I did

1107
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: say because a Hollinger, I thought it was going to

1108
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: be rescheduled right before the All Star break, but then

1109
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: we learned they would have to get the clear insure

1110
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: the union because it'd be cutting into their holiday break.

1111
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: So maybe they couldn't. For all we know in the unions,

1112
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, that's they definitely could have said. Now we're

1113
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,000

1114
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,839

1145
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 5: Lebron James started wearing a special edition twenty third season

1146
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 5: jersey patch last night in Sacramento, the city where he

1147
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,800
Speaker 5: began his legendary career back in OH three. The patches

1148
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 5: will be removed from his jersey after each game, and

1149
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 5: then some will be placed into Ultra rare Tops trading cards.

1150
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 5: So there's a look at the patch for everybody on YouTube.

1151
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 5: It's a silhouette of Lebron's pregame Chuck Toss, and you

1152
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 5: got four colored stripes representing the franchises he's played for.

1153
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 5: I saw people saying three, but you can see there

1154
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 5: those are two reds. Guys obviously played for Cleveland, Miami

1155
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 5: and LA.

1156
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 6: So it goes.

1157
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland, Miami back to Cleveland is the other red, and

1158
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: then LA obviously the yellow. Up or down on Lebron's

1159
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: special edition twenty third season jersey patch.

1160
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 5: I am both up and down. I'm up on celebrating

1161
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 5: this man who has played the most seasons in the

1162
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 5: NBA history.

1163
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 2: Of course, I'm up on that.

1164
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 5: I know people are angry about that, just because they're

1165
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 5: Lebron haters, I suppose. But if somebody is frigging old

1166
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 5: and doing well, like somebody gets to one hundred years old,

1167
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 5: we celebrate them.

1168
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 2: We should admire them, we should celebrate them.

1169
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 5: That being said, I'm kind of down on this going

1170
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 5: on for the rest of the season, Like it starts now.

1171
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 6: Why did it start now? Is the weirdest part.

1172
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 5: I mean, the one game in Sacramento. Okay, that's that.

1173
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,720
Speaker 5: Just retire it, that's it. Just make it one moment,

1174
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 5: one game, one patch that they stick in a pack

1175
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 5: of pass.

1176
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: How you're going to sell all those boxes of tops

1177
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: trading cards if there's only one.

1178
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think that whatever is left, Yeah, but that's

1179
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 2: the way you make it a little more prestigious.

1180
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 6: It's just one, yeah, exactly, it's a limited edition.

1181
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 5: Uh, you started now for the rest of the season.

1182
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's kind of lame. But I just

1183
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 5: didn't didn't really like that part of it.

1184
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: But is this Lebron's last season? It's where my mind

1185
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: immediately went. That's a big question, right, Yeah, it's definitely

1186
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: do not have anything to do with that. This could

1187
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: just be a Tops move and Lebron's like, yeah, I'll

1188
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: do it. How much I'll throw That's what it is.

1189
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, a start halfway through the season. They're putting a

1190
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 6: Lebron patch on a Lebron jersey just so they can

1191
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 6: take it off and sell it.

1192
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1193
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I'm down, you're down? Yeah?

1194
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: What do you think of the patch itself?

1195
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 6: Too? That's fine? Yeah, okay, I mean I like the silhouette. Yeah, okay,

1196
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 6: I like the chalk toss.

1197
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 2: Are we uh?

1198
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 5: Supportive of the Sacramento Kings tweet after they beat them,

1199
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 5: they tweeted bad day to be a jersey patch debut

1200
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 5: with that with a little smiley face and the two arrows.

1201
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 5: I don't know why the two arrows. I don't really

1202
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 5: get it. I mean the double arrow going left and right.

1203
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 5: I don't I don't really get that.

1204
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 6: But anyway, you mean the eyes, no, this this arrow,

1205
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 6: this arrow? What's up with interesting? I don't know. Maybe

1206
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 6: that means patch. Lebron is thirty games from passing Robert

1207
00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 6: Parrish for most games played of all time. Yeah, they'll

1208
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 6: do a patch for him. I mean yeah, I did too.

1209
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 6: He's got to deal with fanatics who on tops.

1210
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right. Poor uh, poor Lakers equipment

1211
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 1: manager though I guess he is. He or she is

1212
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: tasked with taking off the patch and then shipping it

1213
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: to the TOPS production facility in Dallas for them to

1214
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: then put in the cards. So somebody just got something

1215
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 1: added to their what I assume already very busy schedule

1216
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:29,160
Speaker 1: after a game, getting the jerseys, cleaning the jerseys, getting

1217
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: everything in order for the next game.

1218
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 6: Are we traveling? Are we not? Now?

1219
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: You got to, like, I gotta sit down, take this patch.

1220
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 2: Off, Take this patch off the.

1221
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 6: Washing machine. It's like you leave a knapping in your pocket.

1222
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 6: It's all over the place. Yeah, always check your pockets,

1223
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 6: Always check your pockets.

1224
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: Pull them out, Yeah, get the pockets cleaner.

1225
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 5: A piece of lego in my pocket this morning when

1226
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 5: I was working out.

1227
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 2: It's like, where did that come from?

1228
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 6: You just picked it up when you saw it in

1229
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 6: the house.

1230
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 5: Probably, yeah, exactly, But then it's stuck in there after

1231
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 5: a wash. What piece I couldn't even I couldn't even

1232
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 5: describe it. It sort of looked like a little sombrero,

1233
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 5: kind of like that piece.

1234
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1235
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 5: Whether it was just like it looked it kind of

1236
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 5: jetted out a little bit. Anyways, Okay, but the one

1237
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that they had. Rookies had a debut

1238
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 5: patch on the uniforms for the first game as Yeah,

1239
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 5: that was pretty cool.

1240
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: They're like game, No, it was for oh the rookies. Yeah,

1241
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: rookies maybe had things. And then the award winners did too,

1242
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: like SGA as m VP, Mobley as Defensive Player of

1243
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: the Year, and I think Castle is Rookie of the Year.

1244
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: They had like gold. I guess it was the NBA

1245
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: logo like on the back of your jersey. But they

1246
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: only did that once. I think, so that's a one

1247
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: on one.

1248
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 5: That's what they should have done with bron bronze. But

1249
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 5: they're making bucks bucks.

1250
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I am with you.

1251
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: It's almost like you should have just waited until he

1252
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: passes Robert Parrish for most games played.

1253
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 6: Put that patch up, sure, put that in a card.

1254
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: Okay, now we're talking. Let's hear whether or not you're.

1255
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 6: Up or down. Do you think he's retiring?

1256
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: I do have him on record saying.

1257
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 6: You think this is last season.

1258
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 2: I don't.

1259
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 5: I'm giving him another he's too good when he plays.

1260
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 5: I think he's I think he's holding on.

1261
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: I think the biggest reason for him probably playing another

1262
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: season is more patches, more patches, more fanfare. Love me,

1263
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: shower me in praise. I mean that's fair. That's a

1264
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: good counter argument to me thinking that this maybe is done.

1265
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it would be surprising if Lebron doesn't celebrate every

1266
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 5: one of his eighty two games.

1267
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't get like every road game is very

1268
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: exactly Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1269
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 6: Doesn't he want gifts? You don't want any gifts.

1270
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't want to deal with them. What am

1271
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: I gonna do with this? I don't want a rocking chair.

1272
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 6: I can't. I literally can't imagine Lebron sitting in a

1273
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 6: rocking chair. It seems incongruous to me. Okay, that's the

1274
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 6: up down report.

1275

1296
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:50,280

1297
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 6: I mean I remember just getting on the boat. Yeah,

1298
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 6: I mean that was the coolest part.

1299
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: The actual city I remember is walking. It was a

1300
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: huge We.

1301
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 6: Were down by the water, remember that. That was amazing.

1302
01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 2: I remember the disc golf course course. Yeah, but that

1303
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 2: was that.

1304
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: Wasn't in Victoria. We were on some island because we

1305
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 1: were island hopping on the boat. I'm pretty sure we

1306
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: may have been on Salt Spring Island. Don't quote me

1307
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: on that. Don't quote me on that, but I don't

1308
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: think we were. Yeah, yeah, we were on.

1309
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 6: Some island because we stayed there. Look it up beautiful,

1310
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 6: just like a boating city. Yes, you know what I'm saying.

1311
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 6: Like people go there for the outdoorsyness of it.

1312
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, but Victoria is on Vancouver Island.

1313
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 6: It's yeah, but didn't we took the boat.

1314
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 5: To another island? Yeah, I think that where they just

1315
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 5: have a disc golf course TVD.

1316
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:47,280
Speaker 1: You could we need uth? Do you let us know, Paul,

1317
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: I know you're listening. Let us know he was there?

1318
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 1: Who else was there? Chris doesn't remember.

1319
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 5: I think I've done with disc golf. I think that's

1320
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 5: the best course I'll ever play on. We're intrigued.

1321
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 6: This was amazing.

1322
01:02:58,800 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 2: It was spectacular.

1323
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 5: Our friend Ken was literally walking around a forest barefoot

1324
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 5: playing disc golf because he's a crazy man. Slip flop

1325
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 5: it just walks around his bare feet.

1326
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: But we were losing discs because this is how forest

1327
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: it it was. Oh yeah, this isn't like you're seeing

1328
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: in a park here in Atlanta or other places. This

1329
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: is the forest TK you. I love this man.

1330
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 6: Like I said, my one experience is being in Vancouver,

1331
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 6: my one British Columbia experience. It was great, great city.

1332
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 6: Oh I love walking around it. Oh god, it's gorgeous.

1333
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 6: It is really gorgeous. Except the rains a lot.

1334
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's the one downfall.

1335
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 6: Except northwest. I'll get you. We've had the bone Boy

1336
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 6: and the horn Boy so far this week. You think

1337
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 6: I should call my guy Fred Leslie and see if

1338
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 6: he wants to get the sexy boy. Yeah, sure, sure

1339
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 6: for the right price.

1340
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 5: Next next endorser is going to be Sandertan, one of

1341
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 5: our fans, because he's been asking, literally for two years

1342
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 5: and ten months and now three days of not having

1343
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 5: a disc golf podcast. I just remember that comments comments

1344
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 5: every day, every single that was.

1345
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: The most like yeah, like minutes about disc golf. Yeah no,

1346
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:16,640

1347
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: no chains, no scoobs, no scoobs. Yeah yeah, yeah. You

1348
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: haven't played disc golf since the time we played in

1349
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: that one as well.

1350
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 5: Years ago were were talking like eighteen. Oh my god,

1351
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 5: old man. Yeah, wow, yeah, I don't just don't want to.

1352
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1353
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 6: Well led up to it. You're right, right, we were spoiled.

1354
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: We played the greatest I'm convinced we played the greatest

1355
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: disc golf course in the world first time ever. And

1356
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: then you can't play after that.

1357
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, imagine golf in your first eighteen on AUGUSTA.

1358
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, That's exactly right. Okay, pick them tonight.

1359
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday night here. We got a good one to

1360
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: because these two teams do not like each other.

1361
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 5: Okay, see posting the San Antonio Spurs. They are favored

1362
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 5: by eight and a half. Saw that big number of eight,

1363
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 5: added a little point five because we can never push.

1364
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 5: I thought that was huge considering the Spurs are freaking

1365
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 5: three and now against the Oka see thunder. So it's

1366
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 5: little sprice kets you took. Okay, see along with me,

1367
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 5: Trey comfortable riding with the Spurs to lose by eight

1368
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 5: or less points. Soule covered, chunky, very chunky, A bit

1369
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 5: of a weird line.

1370
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a weird life.

1371
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,040

1373
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 5: make up for those three losses. Yeah, but they have

1374
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 5: not been playing anywhere close to themselves. But that's why

1375
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 5: they haven't been playing well, because this is their finals.

1376
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:51,200

01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: the road dog there, but we need the thunder to

1383

Speaker 6: Eighty three percent of people have zero freads in the phone.

1388
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: It's a shame.

1389
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 6: Also, zero percent of people have two threads in there.

1390
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: You have one fread or a whole lot of friends

1391
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: in between thirteen for one and four percent of people

1392

Speaker 1: have three or more freads.

1393
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,680

1394
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,800
Speaker 6: family of friends. What do you call a flock of threads?

01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 6: Fred heeads, those are the fans of threads.

1396
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 5: Actually, the ironic part about the thread that's in all

1397
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,479
Speaker 5: of our phones. Is that he's not even a fret.

1398
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 5: His actual name is massive. Yeah, he's a fake fread,

1399
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 5: fake fread. Fred Cat's name is not Fred, It's Matthew.

1400
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 6: Spoiler. He's a Fred, Tom Doson.

Speaker 1: I think he really owns being a Fred like. I

1402
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: think he feels like a friend to me, Big Fred,

1403
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: more more than a math. Maybe because we'd there's too

1404
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: many Matthews in our lives.

1405
