Speaker 2: Before we get into more thoughts on the weekend's blockbuster

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: trades and get into our NBA weekend winners and losers. Yeah,

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: we'll actually talk a little bit about real basketball. We

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: got some weggies. I had two more weggies over the weekend,

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: and yeah we had one on Saturday. It was Nick

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: Richards getting away with a travel here. But you know,

19
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: we'll take it as he sticks the little soft weggie

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: there in Portland. And then on Sunday, Yaka Pero with

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: another little gentle floater like weggie there sticks it in Toronto.

22
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: They didn't boo that. So there's two weggies twenty four

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: and twenty five halfway there, tasked to that magical number

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: of fifty.

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 3: They are magical. There are snowflakes, a seven foot push shot.

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: You don't see that all the time, and then a

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: true travel and then a weggie. Do you remember a

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: weggie that happened just after a travel? I don't, I don't.

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: That was, Yeah, it's pretty blatant.

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: They didn't call it. That was shock weird. So let's

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: get into a little bit more on the blockbuster deals now.

32
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: If you are just joining us here on Monday and

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: you didn't listen or watch any of our shows from

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: the weekend, we did emergency podcast. We did this on

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Sunday morning because some of us were asleep on Saturday

36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: night when the trade went down, but we reacted to

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: the Luca a D Trade of course, the big, most

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: stunning deal in NBA history. And then Sunday night, but

39
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: we were all awake for this one when the three

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: teamer went down, Fox going to the Spurs, zach Lavine

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: going in to the Kings, and Trey Kirby's Bulls finally

42
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: getting a guy named Trey finally to his team, so

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: Cam wait for him to rock that jersey. But we've

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: talked about these in some details, so I encourage you

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: again to check them out. The link to the YouTube

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: of those shows is in the show notes. But you

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: know you've had some more time to think about this.

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: We had an entire press conference, oh yeah, from Maverick's

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: general manager, Nico Harrison. He had a lot to say,

50
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: So maybe we can start there of him saying, I

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: mean really admitting to a lot of things, one being

52
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: I only talked to the Lakers like I talked to Polinka.

53
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: We had coffee three weeks ago and then we talked

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: this out and that's how Luca ultimately made his way

55
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: to La Yeah, I know perplexity, but he had a

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: lot more do you want to what do you want

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: to go here? Tess?

58
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: Well, after hearing that, I think it's clear it wasn't

59
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: inevitable that Luca was leaving in a year and a half.

60
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: It wasn't guaranteed. This happened for a couple of reasons.

61
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: One for money, I suppose because they didn't want to

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: pay Luca. Max contract owners maybe didn't want to pay that.

63
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: But also basketball, I mean a basketball style that Nico

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: Harrison was clear about that he wanted to go get

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis because they want to get big. They kind

66
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: of want to emulate what the Kas are doing, just

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: be extremely huge. And the other team that Sam Amic

68
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: reported that they inquired about, maybe Nico Harrison didn't talk to,

69
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: but it sure feels like it was the Bucks that

70
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: they talked to. One other they inquired about, Yeah, and

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: he said maybe they didn't have a conversation about it,

72
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: but Yannis wasn't available because he's going to be a lifer.

73
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 3: While Yeah, it sure feels extremely weird to say, hey,

74
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: we want to get away from this Helio centric thing

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: with Luca running everything, because you see what happened with

76
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: our defense against the Bos and South I mean Coffee

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: turns into that that guy just dragged them to the finals. Yeah,

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: and the way that Mas fans are so hurt and

79
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: they conducted their own funeral outside the stadium where they

80
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: are first in attendance, and this is just extremely painful,

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: all of them right here, right now. For a guy

82
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 3: that everybody picked. He was the number one pick for

83
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: MVP this season. He had the best odds everybody was

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: picking him, and they trade him because they want to

85
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 3: get bigger, and they just got so much older. I mean,

86
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: this isn't younger. This is for the president in the future.

87
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: Inco Harrison said, that's the confusing part. How is it

88
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: for the president in the future that's present maybe the future?

89
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: Come on?

90
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: Well yeah, Harrison said, the trade was to quote make

91
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: our team better, and he did, though mention Luca's contractual situation.

92
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: There was some consideration, like you said, task, maybe this

93
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: idea like yeah, oh man, do we want to like

94
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: lock ourselves into a five year, three hundred and forty

95
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: five million dollar, you know, contract supermax with this guy

96
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: this summer? But yeah, this guy just loves Anthony Davis too.

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Is my takeaway, Like, find somebody that loves you as

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 2: much as Nico Harrison loves Anthony Davis because he really

99
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: wanted that guy. Yeah, okay, maybe hey, can we take

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: you honest?

101
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 5: No?

102
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: Bye, all right, let's go get Anthony Davis. And that's

103
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: why they really only talked with the Lakers.

104
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 5: I do like the honest part of it, though at

105
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: least he asked for Yannis before getting to Anthony Davis.

106
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 5: I think this is a crazy move. To see Luca Doncrich.

107
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: No doubt he got exposed in the finals. It was

108
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 5: the NBA Finals against an historically great offense. Lots of

109
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 5: people looked bad against the Celtics in the playoffs last year.

110
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 5: They ran through the Eastern Conference and then ran through

111
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 5: the Mavericks in the finals. Shouldn't the move be Luca

112
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 5: get better at defense. They would have been able to

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 5: trade him on a five year, three hundred and forty

114
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 5: five dollars million dollar max. They probably would have gotten

115
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 5: more back for him. I was just wondering if he

116
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 5: knew that the camera's on while he was talking. He

117
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 5: said he brought it up to Rob Polinka, and Polinka's like,

118
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: you're joking, right. He said that trade got figured out.

119
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 5: They went to the owners, and the owners like you're

120
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 5: joking right, And he was serious, and he explained his

121
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 5: reasoning to reporters with Jason kidds sitting right there saying

122
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 5: Jason Kidd had no idea what was going on. He's saying,

123
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 5: I don't care about ten years from now. We're talking

124
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: three to four years in the future. I'll be fired

125
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 5: in ten years, is what he said.

126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy. I don't really get fire comes

127
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: in this mood.

128
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. That was the extremely strange part that it was

129
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: up to Nico Harrison. It didn't go through j Ja

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: Kid found it at the end and he was just

131
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: sitting there blank. Guyed, you look like a deer in

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: the headlights. Just I don't want to listen to this.

133
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: He couldn't have backed it, and then Niko Harrison said, yeah,

134
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 3: Jay Kid did coach him when they won in the

135
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 3: Bubble with the Los Angeles Lakers as an assistant coach,

136
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: but Ja Kid didn't say a word about knowing, And

137
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: so it was up to one man. It was up

138
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 3: to Nico Harrison, and he somehow convinced Patrick Dumont, the owner,

139
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: say yeah, this is how we do it. And maybe

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: the money comes into it as well, because they are

141
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: trying to build an arena and a casino combined if

142
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: they can get it through Texas legislature. Very strange. That

143
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: part's very strange. It's just a basketball part. Is up

144
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: to one man to say, we are getting bigger and

145
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: getting so much older. Yeah, I mean simply put as

146
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: simple as that, AD's good and the MAVs somehow beat

147
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: Okay see three times without Luca this season, he hasn't

148
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: played in any of those games and they somehow have won.

149
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: And so that's the picture. But I mean, how many

150
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: years does Ad have left with Kyrie playing extremely well? Right? Yeah?

151
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: Right. Robbie Callen of up Rocks, he wrote something and

152
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: stuck with me, said he can't stop thinking about how

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: the MAVs put themselves in one of the hardest positions

154
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: to be in sports, and that is title or bust

155
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: expectations with a very short runway. And that is spot

156
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: on because you were trying to go through the reasoning

157
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: when we did that emergency podcast, like you were trying

158
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: to put yourself in his shoes, and you you really

159
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: were getting at like, yeah, this guy really wants Anthony Davis.

160
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: He thinks they make him better. In addition to like

161
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: is Luca healthy? Will he ever be heavy? Healthy?

162
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: Does he take this inevitably? I thought he was inevitably leaving.

163
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: That was a big part of it. If you know

164
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: a guy is leaving, why not get him get something

165
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: for him now before he inevitably leaves, instead.

166
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: Of being like I was out of here, right.

167
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: So that was before the press conference. I thought there

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: was something.

169
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: Harrison adamant that eighty boosts their title chances, like right here,

170
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: right now, that's what he's selling, at least trying to

171
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: sell to the Mavericks fans who are obviously pretty distraught

172
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: and furious and like what the hell, Like we have

173
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: a statue with Dirk Novitzki outside that literally says on

174
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: it like loyalty never fades away. And then you have

175
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: Luke obviously, you know, like saying goodbye to the fans

176
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: and sorry, couldn't bring a championship and all that. So

177
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: it's a I mean, it's an unbelievably tough cell, but

178
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: like it has to work. It has to work now

179
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 2: or maybe next year, because then they're sort of pooched

180
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: because it's not like they have a lot of draft capital.

181
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: They don't have draft they don't so hell of a

182
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: hell of a gamble here, I mean, like an insane

183
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 2: gamble that feels like no one else would take except

184
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: for this guy.

185
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 5: No no one else would do this. Yeah, that's why

186
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 5: it's such a weird trade. It comes down to who

187
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 5: do you think they have a better chance of winning

188
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 5: a title with? Maybe they have a better chance with

189
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis for literally this season, I don't think that's true.

190
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 4: I would take you know.

191
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: If you could go, if you could do this on

192
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 5: two K or whatever, the mAbs with Luca versus the

193
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 5: MAVs with Ad. I'm taking the Luca team just because

194
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 5: you think they're gonna make it tough. Matchups will play

195
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: a factor, like the MAVs are gonna be humongous, But

196
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 5: everybody's playing the wrong way in positions, like they've got

197
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 5: fives in Gafford and Lively, who's hurt right now? And

198
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: people are talking about Lively as a trade piece because

199
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 5: I think maybe everybody's like, what are Gafford and Lively

200
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 5: gonna look like without Luca throwing them lobs all the time.

201
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: They don't dribble, you know, they only catch lobs.

202
00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 3: Uh.

203
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: PJ Washington he's a four now he's playing a three.

204
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 5: Klay Thompson he's a three, probably should be a four.

205
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 5: He's going to be playing the two. Kyrie Irving, he's

206
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 5: your only ball handler. If he gets hurt at Spencer Dinwitty,

207
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 5: what if Kyrie Irving ops out? But if he goes

208
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 5: to La. Yeah, he seemed to like playing with Luka Doncic.

209
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 5: We know he like playing with Lebron.

210
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: Yes, he could leave. Yeah, it doesn't seem locked in.

211
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: And I can see why they want to give up

212
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: a five because Anthony David is going to finish games

213
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: at the five. Yeah. I mean like when Draymond Green

214
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: won a championship, you start playing beside Dwight and then

215
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: Dwake gets off the floor and then your best lineup

216
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: is Dre at the five, and Anthony Davis should be

217
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: playing the five. But they also just don't have enough guards,

218
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 3: so they're probably gonna do that before Thursday. As a

219
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: ball handler, it's Kyrie, it's Spencer Dinwitty, it's Dante Axim

220
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: who's injured. I mean, they really need a ball handler

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: that's for sure to get into it. But really it's

222
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: just odd because it sure felt like Luca wasn't inevitably leaving.

223
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: The thing that he put on Instagram after he found

224
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: out about the trade was his recent phone list who

225
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: called him. It was Nico Nico, Nico, Nico Nico that

226
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: he didn't pick up, and then he deleted that from

227
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: Instagram because he needed to pick So that that just

228
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: to me seems like he's pissed. He's he's extremely pissed,

229
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: and if he was never be going to leave, then

230
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: he wouldn't be that upset. You know that that part

231
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 3: just doesn't It doesn't equally, it doesn't equal up.

232
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 2: And the Luca being pissed a part of this equation

233
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: is exciting to Lakers fans because they want to be like, yeah,

234
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: get pissed man, like you're already incredible. What happens if

235
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: he does take maybe his condition a little more seriously

236
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 2: and just like levels up because of his I guess

237
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: frustration and anger with the Mavericks and how he sort

238
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: of got dealt Like that's a scary thought in addition

239
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: to being paired with Lebron. And they're probably gonna try

240
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: and maybe make some moves. I mean, they do need

241
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: a center.

242
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 3: They have to.

243
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 2: They got to go get a big What can they do?

244
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: Who could that be? Obviously, as we lead up to

245
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: the trade deadline on Thursday, and you know, you're gonna

246
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: hear a lot about Oh, don't worry, there'll be some

247
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: buyout guys there will They rarely make any impact whatsoever.

248
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 2: And I guess that's what will be just as guilty

249
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: as going, oh, yeah, that's a nice bio pick up. Yeah,

250
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: it won't matter it really Usually doesn't matter.

251
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: The other part, the Nico Harrison comment of this is

252
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: for the present and for the future. It just doesn't

253
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 3: make total sense to go get so much older and

254
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: right here, right now, even getting into this year a

255
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 3: little bit more. You said Derek Glively is injured. He

256
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: could literally be coming back in April, just before the playoffs. Now,

257
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: the MAVs had a very different statement than what was

258
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 3: initially put out about him being out for two months.

259
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: They said that he would be revaluated in a month.

260
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: Just to say that Derek Glively needs to come back

261
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: and get some freaking reps. I mean, yeah, they made

262
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: the finals last year when they got Gafford and they

263
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: got PJ. Washington, but they had somebody carry them and

264
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: they had a lot of camaraderie. They played a lot

265
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: of minutes together. It's so different this year. Yeah, it's

266
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: just way different now.

267
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean, correctly I've been wrong, but like after those

268
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: additions at the traded line, the MAVs like one of

269
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: the best defensive teams from there on out. Yeah, so

270
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: they were a defensive team. I mean, he keeps saying,

271
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: you Gooherson, like, defense wins championships. Defense wins championship. It's like,

272
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: you had a good defense. You you know, Okay, did

273
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: you nearly win the championship? No, it wasn't all that

274
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: close in the finals, but my god, you got there

275
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: a couple more wins. But man, he seems hell bent

276
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: on like, we can't do this with Luca. We literally

277
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: cannot win a championship with Luca. He seems to have

278
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: made that decision again an insane gamble. Maybe he's right,

279
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: but it sure feels like he won't be and this

280
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: is gonna look so an age, so poorly him, like

281
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 2: going against the grain. He's like, oh, you watch this.

282
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: I'll get rid of Luca now and I'll send them

283
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: to the Lakers and I won't even talk to other

284
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: teams because I got ad.

285
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: Out of it.

286
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: He's like, we want to be the Calves. The maps

287
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 4: went farther than the Calves last year.

288
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: Say, talk wild wild.

289
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: I guess he wants to be the Caves of this year.

290
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: But they don't have the guards really to do that.

291
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk a little bit.

292
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 4: I don't know this.

293
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 5: I feel like we kind of underplayed how big of

294
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 5: a traded Actually, like this is gonna be a momentous

295
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 5: day in NBA history. You're gonna remember this day. It's

296
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 5: similar to me to Lebron going to the Heat the

297
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: first time, Katie going to the Warriors, where you're like, oh,

298
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 5: the complete landscape of the NBA has changed. The Lakers

299
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 5: are gonna be a title contender moving forward for however

300
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 5: many decades when they start actually building around Luca, Like

301
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 5: this isn't gonna be the year, but the guy's gonna

302
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 5: be twenty six at the end of the season. They're

303
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 5: gonna build around him. The Lakers are a title contender.

304
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 5: Dallas seemed like they were gonna be a title contender

305
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 5: for the next decade. Who knows what they're gonna look

306
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 5: like in two or three years. Who knows that they're

307
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 5: gonna have Nico Harrison and Jason Kidd, the guys who

308
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 5: actually made this decision just a huge deal.

309
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: I was explaining to my kid yesterday.

310
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 5: I was like, literally, the Lakers, they always have the

311
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: best players. And I ran it down with people she knew,

312
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 5: like Shaq, Kobe, Pawgasol. You know, she's a huge, huge,

313
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: huge Pawgasol fan, Lebron ad and now they got Luca

314
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: and she just said, are they cheating?

315
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: M hmm.

316
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: I was like, they're not cheating, but it.

317
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 5: Is a little unfair, right, Yeah, just because they're in

318
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 5: Los Angeles, a huge party, they get the best players.

319
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

320
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. To hear Yan, to hear Yanni's post game after

321
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: they played Memphis on Sunday when he said no one

322
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: is safe, and then he started going through you know what,

323
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: I'll let me say this, since he was serious. You

324
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: talk to our mani Aric name for a while, and

325
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: he was serious about how everything plays out, how everybody

326
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: can be traded. And he said, you know what, I

327
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: want Luca to go to LA and I want Nicola

328
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: Jokic to go to New York because that would be

329
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: huge for Europe. And so he's kind of speaking to

330
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: what the NBA speaks to, which is big markets, big money,

331
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: big ratings, and Yannis was kind of playing into that

332
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: because it's good for Europe, which you would be excited about.

333
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: It is strange, and that's got a lot of people

334
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: putting on the tinfoil hats, these big deals. The Luca

335
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: to La part especially of like a lot of talk

336
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: about how ratings are down and oh my god, suddenly

337
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: Silver wants to change the entire game let's the cut

338
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: and it's off in all this like everybody trying to

339
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: figure out, how do we save the NBA game, how

340
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: do we save the entertainment product? And then this deal happens,

341
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: ratings are gonna be good, of course.

342
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

343
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: The other part of this I said to you guys

344
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: right before we went live, I was like, oh, interesting timing.

345
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: We just found out about Terry Rozier now getting roped

346
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: into a federal investigation to the Johntay Porter gambling scandal.

347
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: What two days later we have like, don't worry about that,

348
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: eyes over here, complete, like this is all the news again,

349
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: this just could be insane timing. Now, the deadline's a

350
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 2: week away, so of course it would happen before that.

351
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: But good timing is what I'm saying for all that stuff.

352
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Unbelievable.

353
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little bit more about the Fox trade

354
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: to the Spurs. He gets his way, he gets there.

355
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: They didn't have to give up anything. Again, we talked

356
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: about it last night, like wow, no Castle, no Devin

357
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: to Cell, no so hand, like you know, picks that

358
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: like not even their juiciest of picks, and they got

359
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: to earon Fox. You've had a little bit more time

360
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: to think about it, like a plus to San Antonio.

361
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: If you're grading this one or.

362
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,479
Speaker 5: What do you think I had him in as last night?

363
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: I'm upgrading it.

364
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 4: To a right in the middle.

365
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 5: They even got off the Zach Collins contract, that was

366
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: their worst contract on their books, and they traded it.

367
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 5: It's on the bulls, Naw, It's unbelievable what the Spurs did.

368
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 5: They got an all in result, getting D'aron Fox, the

369
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 5: biggest name that's on the market. Obviously Luca was out

370
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 5: there but not quite the same. But Fox was the

371
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 5: guy that everybody was looking at right now. Everybody knew

372
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 5: want to go to Spurs. They got him without going

373
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 5: all in at all. They kept all their best picks,

374
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 5: got rid of their worst contract. Colts kept basically their

375
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 5: entire rotation. What they did was upgraded Trey Jones, their

376
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 5: backup point guard, to Daron Fox, an all star who's

377
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 5: going to be a starter for him. They've got the

378
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 5: third easiest remaining schedule in the Western Conference. So for me,

379
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 5: the playoffs start now for the San Antonio Spurs three

380
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 5: games out of eighth place, and that to me, like

381
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 5: I said last night, that's the goal because at the

382
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 5: very least. You're getting two play in games, maybe you

383
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 5: win the first one you're playing in the playoffs.

384
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 4: That would be.

385
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: Amazing for this team. We'll see how Chris Paul and

386
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: Aaron Fox work together. I think that's kind of a

387
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 5: curveball as well. Fox is shooting thirty three percent on

388
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 5: catching shoot jumpers this season, Chris Paul just thirty percent,

389
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 5: so they could use the more shooting, which I think

390
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 5: is why Devin Vessel. They're probably very happy to keep

391
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: him thirty seven percent from three, and it's going to

392
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 5: be important that Castle learns how to shoot threes over

393
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 5: the course of his career.

394
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: Same with Sohan.

395
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 5: The guys that are the two, three four for San Antonio,

396
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 5: they got to shoot it because you know Fox and

397
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: Wenby are going to be huge parts of their offense.

398
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: Spurs are going to be a dynasty, aren't they Wenby? Yeah,

399
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: they have Wenby and it sure feels that way. It's

400
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: not the tinfoil hat coming through. It just leads with

401
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: Wemby and Darren Fox as a clear number two is

402
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: a great match. I think he is going to get

403
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 3: those feet go because all the a's are going to

404
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: be on Wembin Yama the pick and roll, which darn

405
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 3: Fox is really really good at this season, shooting fifty

406
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: four percent as a pick and roll ball handler. It's

407
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: a great number. And again, I think it's going to

408
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: get better with Webbin Yama. And he's a passable three

409
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: point shooter. I know he's not excellent all the time,

410
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: but with more space. And yeah, he's having a bad season.

411
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: Everything's bad in Sacramento, but he's had a couple of

412
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 3: good thirty seven percent years.

413
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: He's streaky.

414
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: He is streaky. Yeah, he's a thirty three point three

415
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: for his career, but he also gets those tips from

416
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 3: Chris Paul. Now, it's just a great, great move. They

417
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: just didn't give up a lot. And it's fine for

418
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: them to give up picks. They've collected enough, they've done

419
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: enough with them. Victor Wambinama's on their team. It's it's time.

420
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: The screams of Calves getting Donovan Mitchell to me, this

421
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: makes me think that Deer Fox is going to sign

422
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: an extension. And he was just done with Sacramento like

423
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: Mitchell was done with Utah, and it's it's a new spot.

424
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: How could he not like playing with Victor romannew.

425
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: I see some comparisons in what the Kings ultimately got

426
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: for a player of Dearon Fox's caliber to what happened

427
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: with the Raptors in the Pascal Siakam trade as well.

428
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: You know there's some picks, obviously, there's contracts to make

429
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 2: it all work. No, it's a three team deal. They

430
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: get Sacklovine like that is a he's a good player

431
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: and he's played really well this year. But in terms

432
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: of no like young prospect like, they got nothing. And

433
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 2: I was so upset as a Raptors fan when they

434
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: got nothing from the Pacers and they had a bunch

435
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: of young guys, You're like, just get one, just one

436
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 2: thrown in there, and ultimately didn't. Part of that's the

437
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: whole Seaham contract situation at that time.

438
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: Uh.

439
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: And here is the same thing with the Kings, Like

440
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: they don't get any of these guys we've listed from

441
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 2: the Spurs. Good job by san Antonio, man, they kept

442
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: everything prospects, like you said.

443
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 5: Hawks picks, the best Hawks, the best.

444
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: Picks, expiring deals like without having like I mean, it's wild. Yeah,

445
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: getting off the Collins even it's a good point. That

446
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 2: surprised me how much he made. I didn't know he

447
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: was like he's like sixteen eighteen. It goes up. It's like,

448
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: holy crap, that guy got paid.

449
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: That collins Man is one of the worst contracts that Jesus.

450
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, like pay know, Yeah, that Kevin Herder number is similar. Bulls. Yeah,

451
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: let's go. They got him. Yeah, yes, they got both

452
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 3: buys head bands.

453
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 2: Coming with right right right? Oh yeah yeah all right.

454
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: And then I guess one more trade that we haven't

455
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: even talked about is very minor, especially in comparison to these,

456
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: but on Saturday morning, the Clippers traded PJ. Tucker Mobamba

457
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 2: a future second round picking cash to the Jazz in

458
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: exchange for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills. The deal is

459
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: basically a salary dump here for the Clippers. They're gonna

460
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 2: dip below the tax Mobamba, I think has already been

461
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 2: waived by the Jazz. Maybe some of you had forgotten PJ.

462
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: Tucker was actually still in the league. You know, he

463
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: was one of these situations where like he wasn't there,

464
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: he wasn't around the team. He was getting paid. This

465
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: has been going on for a while, But any thoughts

466
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: on that clips maybe.

467
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that was a bad Darryl Morey move

468
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: that contract for PJ. Tucker which is still paying him,

469
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 3: which is yeah, he's a little too old. But no,

470
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 3: no other thoughts for myself.

471
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: Okay, I just wish that I would have used my

472
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 5: brain on that one, because it was like, why are

473
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 5: the Jazz doing any kind of move right now? And

474
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 5: it turned out, yeah, to be able to facilitate these

475
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 5: deals that actually mattered for the NBA. Drew Eubanks, he'll

476
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 5: probably play for the Clippers. Yeah, you know, backup center.

477
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, serviceable, backup big and if it doesn't work out,

478
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: it's like he's an expiring deal, it doesn't matter. So

479
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: but yeah, definitely working the books there for the Clips. Okay,

480
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: let's get two winners of the NBA weekend. We'll do

481
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: one round of winners. We'll do one round of losers.

482
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: There was basketball going on. That's just funny. Who do

483
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 2: you have as your big NBA we can winner.

484
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: This game took place three earth days ago, but it

485
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 5: feels like three hundred NBA years ago. Victor Webbin Yama

486
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 5: dominating against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. The Spurs

487
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 5: got a big win, scored one hundred and forty four points,

488
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 5: and Wemby was absolutely wembying in this one thirty for Victor,

489
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: fourteen rebounds, six blocks, and five threes. It's his fifth

490
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: game in his career with five or more blocks, five

491
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 5: or more threes. That's already the most ever Wemby. That's

492
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 5: a Wemby.

493
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 4: That's so Mby. And I mean, I don't.

494
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 5: Know if every play was a highlight, but it felt

495
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 5: like every play he made was a highlight. He double

496
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 5: bank in the three pointer over Yannis after like almost

497
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 5: losing the ball at half court, just chucks it up,

498
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: goes in. That looked awesome. He had one footed running

499
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 5: three like it was no big deal. He blocked Giannis

500
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 5: at the rim three times, made Jannis look small, though,

501
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 5: I will say, honest, they get a dunkin on him,

502
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 5: not bad. And then he had that last block on

503
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 5: Dame Lillard that they called a goaltend. Literally could the

504
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 5: refs are like, there's no way somebody can block a

505
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: shot above the square, right, There's no way they could

506
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 5: do it. It felt like when Andre three thousand did

507
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: the first alley oop in basketball history and.

508
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: The rest had to call the game. Wait, can he

509
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 4: do that?

510
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: Yes, he can do that. Awesome game from Wemby. Then

511
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 5: he sat out with an illness. Then he got Daron Fox, Like,

512
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 5: this guy's gotta be loving life right now.

513
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now he's going in the Skills Challenge with

514
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: Chris Paul Christine's reporting he was beating on Saturday night.

515
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: There at also a weekend in San Francisco, and then

516
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: this is a little different here, but over the weekend,

517
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: the NBA announced four replacement players for the two twenty

518
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 2: five Rising Stars. So Son's rookie Ryan Dunn is replacing

519
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: seventy six ers rookie Jared McCain who's out with season

520
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 2: ending surgery. And then Anthony Black, Timani Camera and Asar

521
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: Thompson are replacing the sophomorees Derek Lively the second Brandon Miller.

522
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 2: Both those guys sort of injured and gasp, Victor Weman Yama.

523
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: So so Wemby gets the Friday night off now, but

524
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: he'll be there for Saturday and Sunday. Obviously in the

525
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: actual All.

526
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 3: Star Game, Camara will block shots like Wemby does. He

527
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 3: blocks the nice shots.

528
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: We got the Thompson twins there. That's fun. So yeah,

529
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: it feels like every single rookie and sophomore somehow like

530
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: in this game or biting out everyone who we missing Bizillis,

531
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah he's still yeah nowhere.

532
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 4: He would have thought both of those guys would go

533
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 4: ahead of Ryan Dunn. I thought that was weird. Yeah,

534
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 4: maybe they turned it down.

535
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 5: I mean, Bozalis is gonna be there, but he's gonna

536
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 5: be competing on Saturday night, where probably just wants to

537
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 5: go on vacation.

538
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't play.

539
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: Also, on that Friday night game, we had Giannis and

540
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 5: Chris Paul fighting against each other.

541
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was pretty Nus was not.

542
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 5: Happy, honest was not happy. I'm on his side. Definitely,

543
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 5: Chris Paul tripped him.

544
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward All Star week in in a weird

545
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: way for different reasons. I think the Spurs are going

546
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: to own All Star Weekend because you mentioned Wemby and

547
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: Chris Paul. That first event on Saturday, which is never

548
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 3: all that juicy. It's the skills challenge, you know, it's

549
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: the it's the appetizer. It's a little bit of an order.

550
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: It's like maybe I'll maybe I'll try one, maybe I'll

551
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 3: look at this nothing, but you don't get too excited,

552
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 3: not at all. But is there any more excitement than

553
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 3: this season. I don't think so. I mean it's not

554
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: I know we're not all that excited, but people got

555
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 3: to get in their seats by eight A or for

556
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 3: what to see Victor. You're crazy to see victorm just

557
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: to see Victor. Everybody wants to see Victor Webbinyama in

558
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: every arena in every city.

559
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 2: So so you think they're going to be in their

560
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: seats in San Francisco on Saturday right for the start

561
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: of the Skills Challenge.

562
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 3: People will tune in. People will tune it just just

563
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 3: to see. And that's the fine Castle I think will win.

564
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: The Duncans Okay, he's my pick. Okay, I think he'll

565
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: get to the final. Mac mcclone'll just be he's.

566
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: Got that pressure off his shoulders now potentially being traded.

567
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about that. Yeah, did you

568
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: bring Fox out throw an oop to him or something?

569
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: Who knows?

570
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: And then I don't know who plays defense on Sunday,

571
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 3: but Wenby's playing, so they win?

572
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so big Spurs weekend?

573
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: Why not? Things are working? They win.

574
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 4: We'll see what team he's on.

575
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to you. Who's your big NBA

576
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: Weekend winner.

577
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 3: I'm going with a big guy. Jaron Jackson Jr. Had

578
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: a great game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Memphis Grizzlies,

579
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 3: they're fun. They come in there with no John Morant,

580
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: so they need Jaron Jackson Jr. To be great. He

581
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: gets hit in the face in the first quarter, elbow

582
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 3: to the face. He's tough. He comes back. He's posting

583
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: up Kompo multiple times and he's splashing threes. But they

584
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 3: were down in the third quarter and the grizz just teammates.

585
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: Their teammates just capped on coming through. It wasn't impressive.

586
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 3: Santie Domo, we know has been impressive all season long.

587
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 3: He is a six man candidate. He's just good all round.

588
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: He just think, oh, he's a three point shooter, then

589
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: to put it on the floor. He had three assists

590
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 3: in this one, eight boards, twenty three points, a steal

591
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 3: in a block and speaking of blocks, and speaking of

592
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 3: Yiannie skittting block, Gigi Jackson blocked him at that top,

593
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: a twenty year old blocking at us to the google.

594
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 3: That was great stuff coming off the bench and Scottie

595
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: Pippen was setting up Jaron Jackson Junior for those threes,

596
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: nine points, ten assists, four steals off the bench. They're

597
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 3: so deep, and they needed Jaron Jackson Junior to splash

598
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: those threes to get back in the game. And now

599
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: he had seven to three seven of thirteen. That's the

600
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: second most threes of his career. So he doesn't do

601
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: that all the time, but he just kept coming. I

602
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: mean when we went to that MLK Day game in Memphis,

603
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: we got in the car and we drove from here

604
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: to Memphis, six hours away, and we saw Jared Jackson

605
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 3: Junior in twenty twenty two. I didn't think that he

606
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 3: would evolve into a guy who could put the ball

607
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 3: on the floor so well, and that was the most

608
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 3: impressive part to me. Yeah, he was great post ups

609
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 3: in the last few minutes against Yann, great time shooting

610
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 3: a three. But he's able to just get into his

611
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: moves quickly. He looks like a different guy. And so

612
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 3: that was a dominant win. Memphis has won seven straight

613
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 3: versus the Bucks some way, some Yeah, that's a weird one,

614
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: but their second they sit in second over the Houston

615
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 3: Rockets right now a half game. So it's this is

616
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 3: like I think Tray said it in December, probably that

617
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: no one was talking about the Memphis Grizzlies, and that's

618
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: definitely happening now a year in February that they're just

619
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: kind of going under the radar. But the Western Conference

620
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 3: playoffs are gonna be super duper.

621
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: Jaron Jackson Junior is one of the most underrated players

622
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: in the league right now. The season he's having not

623
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: a lot of people have noticed. They've won eight of

624
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: their last nine over that stretch. He's averaging basically twenty

625
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: five five. This is a thing. He doesn't rebound a ton, right,

626
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: So like maybe the box scores like don't wow, you

627
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: like that, but twenty five to five couple assists over

628
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: a block, shooting forty one percent from deep on a

629
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: decent amount at tempts for a big guy like him,

630
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: nearly fifty percent from the field, Like yeah, and this

631
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: is all in thirty one minutes per game. This isn't

632
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: like a ton of minutes. Their only loss was to

633
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: the Knicks over that span. He's been awesome. Good seasonother

634
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: All Star I know, like the award has taken so

635
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: many twists and turns, but most improved, Like he's actually

636
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: improved as a player. But you know, he was already

637
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 2: an All Star, already won a Defensive Player of the Year. Like,

638
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: he's not gonna win it. I get that, but he

639
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 2: actually has. If you watch the games and you've talked

640
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: a lot about him, TK.

641
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got one move. It's Derek Zulander mode. He

642
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 5: knows left every single time. He goes left so often

643
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 5: that when you see him shoot his three pointers or

644
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 5: his free throws, you're.

645
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 4: Like, wait, he's right handed.

646
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, He's been in the league for years and still

647
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: I'm like, it feels like he's a left handed player

648
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 5: because he was doing it to Giannis last night, just

649
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 5: driving in the lane, giving him a shoulder bump, shooting

650
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: the easy lefty. Mark Jones said, shoulder day for Jaron

651
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: Jason Junior.

652
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 4: He's Giannis in the weight room. That was pretty impressive.

653
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 4: Scotti Pippen Jr. I thought was also huge in the win.

654
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 5: Four steels, like you said, they all came in the

655
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 5: fourth quarter and he was just a pest defensively picking

656
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: up basically full court getting the steals. Yeah, Jared Jackson

657
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 5: Junior has really versified his game because he's a good

658
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 5: three point shooter. Like you're saying, kind of streaky. I

659
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 5: thought the Bucks were a complete mess defensively and most

660
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: of his threes seemed like open looks where they didn't

661
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 5: know what they were doing. But he's added the dribble

662
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 5: drive game to it and it's really opened things up

663
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 5: for the Grizzlies and deserving All Star and he's been

664
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 5: playing great since he got named to the All Star team.

665
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. All right, my winner of the weekend,

666
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: Just a little love to two teams that are hot

667
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: as hell right now, but they're still near the bottom

668
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: of the standings. The Toronto Raptors keep winning a bunch

669
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: of games, and the Portland Trailblazers are cooking right now too.

670
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: Both these teams like are really like figured some things

671
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 2: out and putting together some ws. So a little love

672
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: to them. But I'm gonna give mine to Jason Tatum

673
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: and the Celtics, specifically Tatum what he did in two

674
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: games over the weekend. On Friday night, Tatum hit a

675
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: beautiful jumper with point seven seconds remaining to give the

676
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: Celtics the two point victory over the Pelicans, who were shorthanded.

677
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: There in New Orleans, Tatum hit the MIDI fade away.

678
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: He hit it this time and it was tough. You know,

679
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: they went to him. He bled the he hadn't toccall

680
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: him on him. He sort of spun and then here

681
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 2: comes herb Jones like here comes the help and pure

682
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: like no rim at all. That was the game winner

683
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: at great like look over to the camera. Someone had

684
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: incredible footage.

685
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 4: The sideline footage was great.

686
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: That was amazing.

687
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: It commercial.

688
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: God damn. He gave a cool mean mug to the camera.

689
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: Looks so good.

690
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 4: So is that aura?

691
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there was that. I mean, that's impressive. Hit

692
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: the game winner. But then he followed it up on Sunday,

693
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: he scored thirteen of his thirty five in the fourth

694
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: quarter as the Celtics came back from twenty six down

695
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 2: to beat the seventy six ers one eighteen, one to ten.

696
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: They won sort of handedly. At the end. The Celtics

697
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: us a thirty nine to ten extended run to spark

698
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: a big comeback. That's the largest in the NBA this season.

699
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: That twenty six point deficit that they came back from

700
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: third largest in the last twenty seasons for the Celtics.

701
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: So just good work. He was pretty instrumental in that,

702
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: and first time in Tatum's career back to back games

703
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: of ten pluses. Cis so all the score and he's

704
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: doing which we know that he does, but facilitating here

705
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: over these last two and he's unlocked that to his

706
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: game and it's gotten better and better as a as

707
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: a ball handler and a facilitator. So Tatum a winner

708
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: of the weekend here. And you know they're trying to

709
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: hang on to the Calves. You know, the Calves are

710
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: still great. I think they're at forty wins. You know,

711
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: the Celtics are there. They're there. They're holding on to

712
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: the rope in that number one if they even want it.

713
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 3: They're holding on to the second seat because the Nicks

714
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: are closer to them than they are to the Calves.

715
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

716
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 3: But the Celtics season is like that win against Philadelphia

717
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,239
Speaker 3: seventy six ers. They play when they need to, you know,

718
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 3: they do it. So that is going to be their season.

719
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Any other winners that I want to show a

720
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: little love to or should we do a round of these?

721
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you hit it.

722
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 5: My sixer is tough loss for them, the way that

723
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 5: the Celtics were able to come back like that, but

724
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 5: a great win for my Raptors.

725
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby, smelling the playing h yeah, yeah, yeah, it's legitimate.

726
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.

727
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 5: I got three dred teams to chair for in the

728
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 5: second half of the season, and the Kings because they're

729
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 5: the balls, and then the Raptors in the seventy six

730
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 5: or if you want them too.

731
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 3: That is freaking unbelievable. The more I look at that

732
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 3: sixteen and thirty three record and how I believed in

733
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 3: them the entire season, but it came to understand that

734
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: the play in tournament wasn't going to happen.

735
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 4: But to see that's sixteen thirty three, that's less than a.

736
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: Third of games that they win, and they somehow could

737
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: still make it. They ain't that far back.

738
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 5: The Eastern Conference is crazy. You can finish in the

739
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 5: tenth seed and get a top ten draft pick.

740
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: That's honestly, at this point, I want to go back

741
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 2: to the bubble rules where it's like you have to

742
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: be so many games to the actual playoff teams behind

743
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 2: to like warrant a play in game, because I mean,

744
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: it would be pretty insane if we have a team

745
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: that's like's thirty wins and they're like, hey we got.

746
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 3: A chance, baby, Oh yeah, crazy, go back to the

747
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: bubble days, didn't they take twenty two teams to play

748
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: in playing the play in tournament to get into the playoffs,

749
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 3: they had that extra team.

750
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: I just remember you had to be within a certain

751
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: amount of games, yeah, to warrant it.

752
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 4: That's definitely true.

753
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: Yes it was, but it was like it was a

754
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: weird year obviously, Zion there, Yeah, yeah, right right, all right,

755
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: let's do losers of the NBA weekend, Trey Kurby get

756
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: it started.

757
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 5: I think it was a bad weekend on and off

758
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 5: the court for the Golden State Warriors, once again referring

759
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 5: to Friday happened before the NBA completely changed.

760
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 4: Blowout loss for the Dubs.

761
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 5: Steph Curry scored fourteen points on fourteen shots, Andrew Wigans

762
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 5: seventeen on twenty shots. They were not really in this

763
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 5: one against the Suns, and that's a team they're competing against. Pregame,

764
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 5: Steve Curry even said, we're not in a position where

765
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 5: we can just say now we're good, let's stand pat.

766
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 5: That's the reality of where we are, which is a

767
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 5: complete change of face from where the Warriors were, like

768
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 5: a week ago when you had Kerr, Draymond and even

769
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 5: Steph Curry saying, let's not make a move here. The

770
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 5: tenor of things have changed, which I think is why

771
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,479
Speaker 5: I'm giving him a loser, because things got even worse

772
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 5: off the court. On Sunday, the Kings traded for zach Lavine,

773
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 5: which means that he's not going to be a Golden

774
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: State Warrior. We got the Brian Windhorst report Jimmy isn't

775
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 5: going to sign an extension in Golden State, which ended

776
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 5: the trade talks between Miami and the Warriors. You throw

777
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: in the fact that the Kings are in the tenth

778
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 5: scene the Suns are in the eighth seed right now.

779
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 5: They're likely getting better. They might get Jimmy Butler. We

780
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 5: know the King's got Zach Levine. Those are two teams

781
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 5: they're chasing. Dallas traded Luka Doncic, but they got Anthony Davis.

782
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 5: They're still in the mix, still formidable. The Dogs are

783
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 5: just kind of running out of options right now. They

784
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 5: said they have changed, they're pivoting to smaller moves here.

785
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 5: They're going to be competing against the Lakers for Vucevic,

786
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 5: it seems like, but it's like, look at all the

787
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,399
Speaker 5: names that they've missed out on in the past two

788
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 5: seasons basically since they won the title, they've passed or

789
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 5: missed out on Pascal Siaka, Lowry, Markinen Levine, maybe Vooch,

790
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 5: Paul George, Jimmy Butler. Then you look at Lebron James

791
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 5: in the same scenario as Stephen Curry. He's played with

792
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 5: Anthony Davis and Lukadancic this season.

793
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 4: What are they doing.

794
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 5: If they're just gonna play out the string the way

795
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 5: they are, they should have paid Klay Thompson and had

796
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 5: like a going away party, right.

797
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it just fits so well in a clay

798
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: type of way to get Jimmy Butler there. So I

799
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 3: still think that it could happen, even though Brian Windhorst

800
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: did say that it has stopped four now. The conversation

801
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 3: has stopped four now, and maybe it's all just a

802
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 3: play to try and make it happen. But it's either

803
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: Phoenix or them, and I can't believe. Grock on Twitter

804
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 3: literally offers you the option here below Brian Windhorse's tweet.

805
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 3: You can click and ask why won't Butler sign with Warriors.

806
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 3: Grok will tell you why. It's unbelievable and that is

807
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 3: a fair question. Why wouldn't he sign an extension with

808
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 3: Golden State? Why he will? He has to, And the

809
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 3: other side is he can't get to Phoenix if Beal

810
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 3: doesn't agree. So I mean that's why both are still

811
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 3: alive four days away.

812
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: You said, you said, Lucas showed that his basically his

813
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: phone log was all Nico Harrison calls, ye, I'd like

814
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: to believe right now that Bradley Beal's phone is all.

815
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler calls, Hey, man, Miami's incredible, Man, trust me

816
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 2: or whatever other team you want to go to the

817
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: have a better chance there. He must be trying to

818
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 2: convince him because it feels like, yeah, Jimmy wants to

819
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 2: get to the desert there to play with Katie and Booker.

820
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 3: But I guess I still have a little bit.

821
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 2: Of hope too that a Warrior Steel happens. But man,

822
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 2: it's also sad as hell, like you just went through it.

823
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: Like they never make a deal, no, And the worst

824
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: part is they're always in deals. They're always almost almost

825
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 2: got that guy, always thought about that guy. It's like,

826
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: that's even like doubling down on insulting your fan base.

827
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 4: In my opinion, it's Danny angish.

828
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 5: We're like, ooh, look at the guys. We almost traded

829
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 5: fo God, pull a move. The only move they've really

830
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 5: pulled in the past few years is sending away Jordan Poole,

831
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 5: who was maybe their best chance at having the next guy.

832
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 5: Because it ain't cominga, It ain't Moses Moody and obviously

833
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 5: isn't Wiseman. So what are they gonna do? Moves around them?

834
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 5: Margin probably yeah, yeah.

835
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: I would think that if Jimmy Butler signed a two

836
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: year extension beyond that year, if he opted out of

837
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 3: that player, he signed a two year just to match

838
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 3: Curry and Draymond, that the Warriors would do it just

839
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: because they'd have somebody to play with the dudes. But

840
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if money wise, for Butler might not

841
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 3: be enough and done leaving may not say we're giving

842
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: you multiple years beyond Curry and Wiggins. All rightually Curry

843
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 3: and Draymond, because who knows if Wiggins is going to

844
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 3: be there?

845
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: Who do you have for this?

846
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Orlando Magic. They lost to the

847
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: Utah Jazz. They didn't crack one hundred. Things are a

848
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: little bleak. I didn't like watching Powo upon Carrow. Go

849
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 3: four of nineteen started with an airball well beyond the

850
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: three point line and then the jumper just wasn't there.

851
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 3: He's due for a good game tonight versus Golden State,

852
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, because he follows up a

853
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 3: bad game with a good game since he returned on

854
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: January tenth. But those eleven games the Magic are two

855
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 3: and nine and his numbers are thirty nine from the floor,

856
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: twenty eight from three to sixty two from the free

857
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 3: throw line. This ain't Polo pont Carrow. Things are not

858
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: going well, and they're in the play in tournament. I

859
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: mean they sait in eighth right now, and they have

860
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 3: three more road games because they're on this road trip

861
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 3: oh and three so far. So I don't think it's

862
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 3: gonna end all that well. They're still a great defensive team.

863
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: It's happening every single game except against the Utah Jazz.

864
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: The Utah has beat them anyway. They need Jalen Sugs back,

865
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 3: who's who's injured, and they just need a ball handler.

866
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 3: And it is odd to see Jalen Sugs out here

867
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 3: with this this quad injury, but he is questionable for tonight.

868
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 3: They just need a ball handler to just bice things

869
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: up because it is becoming just way too much.

870
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 2: There's some guys then in the league that are just

871
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 2: like the ultimate difference makers, and they're not like the

872
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 2: superstar level guys. It's like, you know, Josh Hart comes

873
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: to mind, like when he plays, you just feel good

874
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 2: about your chances because of the hustle and what he does,

875
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 2: and like SUGS is like that for the Magic, just

876
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 2: in terms of like how important he is. But yeah,

877
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 2: this is wow. I didn't realize that it slipped that

878
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: far there in the Eastern Conference standings and two and

879
00:39:59,080 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: nine you said over.

880
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: The last yeah, and with my right now it's okay.

881
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: The top four to five are lucked sort of. You know,

882
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 3: the Milwaukee's in the fifth, the Pacers are in the fourth,

883
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: I would say they're lucked. But beyond that it's heat

884
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 3: and sixth, Pistons and seventh, and then the Magic have

885
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 3: fallen even further than that. So it's not a guaranteed

886
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 3: that they finished top six. They got a long road

887
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 3: trip after this road trip, like you know, down the

888
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: road here in the next two months, so it's not easy.

889
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 5: SUGS is helpful, but they need more than just getting

890
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 5: Jalen Suggs back. They should really be active this week.

891
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,959
Speaker 5: They should be looking at CJ.

892
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 3: McCollum.

893
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 5: They should be looking I think a guy they really

894
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 5: should target. It's a Bulls player, Kobe White. He like

895
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 5: fits their timeline. I think, what twenty five at the

896
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 5: end of the year. He's on a really nice deal

897
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 5: right now. He could play alongside Sugs. He could play

898
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 5: as their point guard alongside KCP as well. I mean,

899
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 5: Lonzo could be a buyout candidate for him, depending on

900
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 5: what happens. But they need guard help outside of getting

901
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 5: Sugs back, which will be huge because they're losing these games.

902
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 5: With Paolo and Franz coming back. They try to water

903
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 5: pretty good during the injury portion of their season. You

904
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 5: would think now is kind of when they would be

905
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 5: hopefully ramping up. So I kind of think this is

906
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 5: a sneaky big week for the Magic. They don't owe

907
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 5: any picks right now, so considering where they are as

908
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 5: a franchise, maybe it's smart to throw away a little

909
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 5: bit of the future to get somebody in who fits

910
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 5: the timeline and helps out.

911
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: All Right, my NBA weekend loser, it's a little tongue

912
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: in cheek okay, but I'm gonna give it to Aaron

913
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 2: Wiggins of the Oklahoma City Thunder. And here's why. This guy.

914
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 2: On Saturday night, he was a sharpshooter. Wiggins had a

915
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 2: career high forty one points. He had fourteen rebounds. The

916
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 2: Thunder steam rolled the Kings one forty four to one. Ten.

917
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: He started in place of JDub Jalen Williams, he was out.

918
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 2: So Wiggins goes sixteen to thirty from the field, six

919
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 2: to fourteen from deep. He scored fourteen in the fourth quarter.

920
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 2: He was cooking. So why would I give him loser

921
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: of the weekend? Because unfortunately, Wiggins did all of this

922
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 2: at the worst imaginable time when it came to warranting

923
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: any sort of NBA media attention. You're already doing it

924
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 2: on a Saturday night. That's tough, my guy. That's the

925
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: one night that's a rough night in terms of like

926
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: putting up a big night to be talked about all

927
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 2: that much. But then, of course he does it on

928
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 2: the night where almost at the exact same time of

929
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: him going off for forty one and fourteen, Luca gets

930
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: traded to the Lakers eighty to the MAVs. And it's

931
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: like it's like a forgotten game. It's a hell of

932
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 2: a performance. Again, tongue in cheek that he's losing the weekend,

933
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 2: just bad timing on his part, because this is maybe

934
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 2: this could be the best game of his career when

935
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 2: it's all said and done, Like will he ever have

936
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 2: a better game than this? I don't know. Forty one

937
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: is pretty.

938
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 4: Forty one and fourteen is an awesome game.

939
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And again it just happened on the night

940
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: where you know, the NBA just went haywire and we

941
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: had the biggest deal in history. So just rough timing.

942
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 5: Now put him in the all underrated list, like actually

943
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 5: underrated players.

944
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 4: This guy is good. He could win seventh Man of

945
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 4: the Year.

946
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 5: You know. Sometimes he starts for the Thunder and he

947
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 5: might be a very important player come playoff time. I

948
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 5: think there's a lot of streaky shooters amongst the Thunder,

949
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 5: so if he has the h I think he could

950
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 5: be a big time piece for them, because he's also

951
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 5: maybe the best driver of like the dork Caruso wing

952
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 5: defender sort of archetype that the Thunder had there, because

953
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 5: he could put the ball on the floor, get to

954
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 5: the rim a little bit. He was just eating on

955
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 5: offensive rebounds in this one. That's like they had never

956
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 5: thought of him possibly grabbing. He got like so many

957
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 5: of them right at the hoop for easy putbacks. But yeah,

958
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 5: an awesome game for him, and I think the Thunder

959
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 5: must be happy to have this dude on their bench.

960
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 5: He could start for some teams out there, for sure.

961
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. I mean they just did all that work

962
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 2: over the summer, right, all those like good little deals

963
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: Isaiah Joe and stuff like that, and just kept them

964
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: all and stockpile them all just like they do their

965
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 2: draft picks and sort of wait and see if they

966
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 2: ultimately move any of these guys or any of those

967
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: picks for a bigger name.

968
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we'll see. Yeah, they got aj Mitchell. Someday

969
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 3: we'll be playing plenty of for them on the other

970
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 3: side of the Kings. Just like that was the end

971
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: of it for Darren Fox. Like the team was just dead. Well,

972
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 3: they were done. They didn't look like they were playing hard,

973
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 3: no disrespect it's Aaron Wiggins. But the offensive boards, like

974
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,959
Speaker 3: you said, they just weren't They weren't fighting, they weren't

975
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 3: ready for that game. And look you.

976
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 2: See the impact on some of these teams around the

977
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 2: trade deadline, obviously, guys involved in trades uncertainty. I mean, look,

978
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 2: I know the Dallas Mavericks, they just got waxed yesterday.

979
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 2: Were they up all night like everybody else, you know,

980
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 2: checking the tweets to see the Luca deal, like they

981
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: just got absolutely like they were down like fifty to

982
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 2: the kety like that. And then of course yeah they're

983
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 2: short short handed as well. But this that does have

984
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: impacts on these teams, like they're gonna you'll have some

985
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: probably weird results this week if we're being honest in

986
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 2: terms of other guys involved in trade rooms and stuff

987
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 2: like that.

988
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 4: Who is Kyler Kelly?

989
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 3: It started for the man, right, Kyler?

990
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 5: Hey?

991
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 3: Y l O R l Oh. Yeah, you didn't set

992
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 3: going Kyler Murray.

993
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 4: I don't know him?

994
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 2: What could you tell us anything else about it? Where

995
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: you go to school?

996
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 4: Or Kelly? He's a beaver oh Oregon State?

997
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: Okay, he's an Oregon man.

998
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 4: Nice, he's a sinner. That's a guy. That's a new guy.

999
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 4: That's a good guy to me.

1000
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 2: I got a chance though yesterday, all.

1001
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 5: Right, any other winners losers Pelicans are a loser of

1002
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 5: the weekend, Jontay Murray out for the season torn Achilles.

1003
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 5: Uh literally, the two New Orleans Pelicans fans in my life.

1004
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 5: I sent them this message fun way to wake up,

1005
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 5: and they both responded the Pelicans are literally cursed. Dyson

1006
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 5: Daniels said it in an interview, and it feels like

1007
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,479
Speaker 5: it and until proven otherwise, you might have.

1008
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 4: To believe it. Yeah, I don't think. I think I saw.

1009
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 5: Will Gillery of the Athletic said that Zion Ingram and

1010
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 5: de Jontay Murray didn't play a game together this season.

1011
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: They did not not a minute. Yeah, Will say, oh

1012
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 3: my god.

1013
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're definitely cursed, like the voodoo down there in

1014
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 2: New Orleans to someone's got a hex on them.

1015
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 4: Somebody does.

1016
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 2: What did they do? Like they they must have like

1017
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 2: someone came to the arena once and like I don't know,

1018
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: like they were like, hey, you can't sit there or

1019
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 2: something I don't know, like twenty years ago whatever when

1020
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: they first moved.

1021
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: There, but kings there.

1022
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, they got the super Bowl this week though, Right,

1023
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: that's a knowledge.

1024
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Yeah, on a road trip.

1025
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1026
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 4: They should get a good draft pick this year.

1027
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 3: Wayne's upset he wanted to be performing who Lil Wayne

1028
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:25,960

Speaker 5: Yeah.

1030
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 2: I think he did pretty well at the Grammys last night.

1031
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 2: I think he went five for five. I have that

1032
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: fact correct.

1033
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 3: Were a delight.

1034
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 2: I caught bits and pieces and pie. I mean, we

1035
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 2: weren't doing a podcast while it was going on to but.

1036
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched right Aft, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you

1037
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:49,600

1038
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 3: Stevie wonder.

1039
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 2: Oh that one guy, what's his name, Boone?

1040
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 3: What?

1041
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: I don't know? He has like a hit song. I

1042
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 2: never I didn't even know what he looked like. I frick,

1043
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't remember the song, but everybody's heard.

1044
00:46:59,000 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 3: It, trust me.

1045
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: But anyway, like they like he was wearing a suit

1046
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: and then they ripped it off. He was like in

1047
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: like a jumper sequence. But anyway, the whole point of

1048
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: this this guy Boom, I don't even know his name.

1049
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 2: He goes up on the stage, jumps on the piano

1050
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 2: and does like a like a front flip off of it,

1051
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: pretty slick, like a you know, like a rotating flip.

1052
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: All right, I've never seen John Legend. No, guy's got,

1053
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,000

1054
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: sign him to the Mavericks right now.

1055
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 3: John was there, He was in the front he.

1056
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: Was there, He opened up the show. He was a

1057
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 2: part of an ensemble they did a cool thing with obviously,

1058
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 2: uh you know, the fire relief and stuff like that.

1059
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 2: It was big donation push and stuff. So they had

1060
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: like a band from l A. I think they're called

1061
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 2: the Doors. I want to say there was a band

1062
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: called the Doors from Yeah.

1063
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 4: I mean they haven't been around for a long time.

1064
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.

1065
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 2: They're like you're talking. I know. That's why I'm like hesitating.

1066
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 4: It probably is no, but it is Doors something.

1067
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 2: But anyway, I had a bunch of other artists playing

1068
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 2: with them on stage, and John Legend was there.

1069
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 3: Well, John was in the front row loving Cynthia Rivo

1070
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: from Wicked her performance kind of notes did she hit?

1071
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,200

1072
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 2: it out, all right.

1073
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 3: Queen Latifa also enjoying it. That was great. It was

1074
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: just nice to see something sort of normal happening in life.

1075
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, it was sort of normal.

1076
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: Did you see what Jaden Smith was wearing?

1077
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 3: Showed up to the Red That's why I said, it

1078
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 3: was sort of normal. There was odd clothing.

1079
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,200
