00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 5: texts and I wasn't going to be on time because

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 5: I woke up on our glue time and I made

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 5: it here earlier than half the producers.

29
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: Well, in fairness to them there there. I mean it's

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's a little earlier out there, but yeah,

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: you are correct. I had a bit of trepidation. Welcome in.

32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: We are back with a fresh new episode of What's

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: Right with Nick? Right after we had a quick little

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: well weekend off for the fourth of July. We hope

35
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: you had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend. Understandably, kind

36
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: of a tough time at least for me to fully

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: celebrate and enjoy the Fourth of July, given everything happening

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: in the world and in this country. However, we hope

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: you at least got a day off work, maybe add

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: some cold beverages, some good barbecue. We were able to

41
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: unwind a bit. But we are back and rolling. I

42
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 3: am calling our shot on today's show. I think today

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: is going to be a top three episode we've ever

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: done of the regular shows. Now all of a sudden,

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: on our YouTube page, by the way, the fifty greatest

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: players of the last fifty years, those episodes are doing outstanding.

47
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: We just did Larry Bird and Kobe Bryant coming up

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: next are the fifth and fourth ranked players in the series.

49
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 3: And we actually on today's show will be discussing Kobe

50
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: versus one of those guys that's coming up in this

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: weekend's episode. We'll discuss that in a few minutes. Also,

52
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: while we are recording, I'm calling that my shot that

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: today's show is going to be excellent, despite the fact

54
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 3: that I'm gonna be a little distracted because off over

55
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: there right now while we're recording is Wimbledon. Oh yes,

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 3: the air the.

57
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: Greatest wimbled was over No, that was okay, that.

58
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: Was the French Open already happened. We weren't on the

59
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: air when the Australian Open happened. Wimbledon is ongoing right now,

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna well, we'll talk tennis later because I'm

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: gonna get you drawn in. You're gonna watch the Wimbledon

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 3: final with me and then guess what, you're gonna be

63
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: so into it, We're gonna go to the US Open final. However,

64
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna save the tennis talk for later, because that

65
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: is what we call in the business, a ratings bonanza.

66
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 3: People will tune in, stay tuned in waiting for the

67
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 3: tennis talk. Before we get to that, I'm sure we're

68
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: gonna have to do some NBA talk. I'm also, if

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: you're watching on YouTube, gonna have to throughout the show

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: try to fix my hair because it looks like I

71
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: have this rattail thing going on in the back. However,

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: before we do any of that, to what we always do,

73
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: what we are not discussing. What did not make the

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: cut for today's show is the following chet Holmgren sets

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: a Summer League block record. Fun fact, it's not just

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: only that it was Summer League, but the Utah Jazz

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: played ten players in that game. How many of those

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: ten players were undrafted players? Do you think, Demonse? And

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 3: then we'll move on, how many do you think of

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: the ten we're undrafted players?

81
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: Ten?

82
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: Nine very close nine of the ten undrafted players. What's

83
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 3: also not on today's show the US Open the US

84
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 3: Open Twitter feed burning Drew Lock. Drew Lock clapped back said,

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: oh who whatever intern posted this? Hey, folks, it's twenty

86
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: twenty two. Interns don't run major at social media accounts.

87
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: They're they're kind of one of the most important people

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: at the company. And is Joey Chesnut actually the goat? Oh?

89
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: I swayed a lot of people about that one, didn't

90
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 3: I And you saw him he had a little.

91
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: Nut manhandled a guy and went on still in the content.

92
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: Yes, little mixed martial arts. Remember I told you about

93
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: chess boxing and you're like, when are you gonna need

94
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 3: to do that? Like we do three minutes of boxing,

95
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: three years chess, Joey Chestnut did a little competitive eating,

96
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: competitive fighting. Okay, now we are ready to go. Let's

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: start the show. I assume we're starting in the NBA.

98
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: Katie requested to trade a few days ago. Yeah, seems

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 5: that the nets want to work with him, but they

100
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: obviously want to get their money's worth from this. You've

101
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 5: been saying that he should go to New Orleans and

102
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: some type of megadeal. But did the nets even end

103
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 5: up trading him? And do they have to?

104
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: Okay, so there is all of a sudden, there seems

105
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: to be this sentiment amongst NBA insiders and NBA media.

106
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: Maybe the Nets just keep Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: Why do they have to trade them?

108
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 4: They don't, I feel like.

109
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: But they do. So Here's the thing in life. It

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: is important that we don't live by how things should be,

111
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: that we well, maybe it'd be nice if we lived

112
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: by how things should be, but it is important that

113
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: we recognize the reality of how things are. And how

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: things are is very simple. If you are the cream

115
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 3: of the crop, best in the league, caliber, MVP discussion

116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: type of player, your contracts are one way contracts. And

117
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 3: by that I mean this, the team is obligated to

118
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 3: pay you no matter what. You are obligated to play

119
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: for them as long as you want to. That's a

120
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 3: one way contract. Back when I did I'm gonna tell

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: a quick little anecdote and then I'll get back to

122
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: the Kevin Durant thing. When I did local radio, they

123
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: would always in Kansas City particular, they would try to

124
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: sign you to these long contracts, Like I remember once

125
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: they offered me a five year deal and at the

126
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 3: time it's like five year deal that actually sounds pretty good.

127
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: Some security locked in and then you read the contract

128
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: and has a little paragraph in there that says termination.

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: It's like, well, I have a contract, so what is

130
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: this termination clause?

131
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 4: Sake?

132
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: And it says the company may, for any or no reason,

133
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 3: terminate this agreement. Okay, all right, Well that's fine. They

134
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: shouldn't have to have me work for them, don't want

135
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: me to. But since I signed this five year contract,

136
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 3: if I did, what's that payment do I get? With

137
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: a severance payment of thirty days? So what that meant

138
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 3: was if I that's a one way contract their direction.

139
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: If I signed it, I can't go work anywhere else

140
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: for five years. They can fire me at any moment

141
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: they want and pay me a month's salary and be

142
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: done with me. That's a one way contract. NBA teams

143
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: when it comes to the best players in the world,

144
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: James Harden, I'm a Houston Rocket. I don't I need

145
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: a superstar. Okay, we'll get your Dwight Howard. All right.

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: I tried that, didn't enjoy it. I did need different one. Okay,

147
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: we'll get you. Chris Paul all right, I tried that.

148
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: I didn't like that. Okay, we'll trade all our draft

149
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: picks and Chris Paul get you Russell Westburg. Okay, I

150
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: tried that. I didn't like it. You have a couple

151
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: years left on your contract. We have paid you the

152
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: maximum allowed at every single turn. Yeah, I know you have.

153
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 3: I don't want to be here anymore. We are going

154
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: to hold your feet to the fire. Oh are you?

155
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: How about I just quit on the team. You're still

156
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: gonna pay me, right, Yeah, we're still gonna pay you,

157
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: and then we'll trade you exactly where you want to

158
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: go two weeks into the season, all right, the team

159
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: that traded you for you, the Brooklyn Nets. I'm James

160
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 3: Harden again. I don't think I want to be here

161
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: anymore either. Yeah, I'm going to quit on the court

162
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: against the Sacramento Kings. You're under contract, James. I don't

163
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: want to be here anymore. Okay, we will trade you

164
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: exactly where you want to go to the Philadelphia seventy

165
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: six ers. Ben Simmons. They're like, oh, they help the

166
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 3: line with Ben Simmons. Well, Ben Simmons not an MVP

167
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: caliber player, and also his situation was unique. So my

168
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: point is this, Folks arguing the Nets have leverage on

169
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant. That is, in a utopian society, that is

170
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: in the ideal of that these contracts are go both ways.

171
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: They don't. Nobody has over young Lebron Steph Katie. The

172
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: players always hold the cards. So what's my point? My

173
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: point is when the Nets float out there, Mike keep him.

174
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: Oh hey, we're comfortable going into the season with him.

175
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: That is a negotiating tactic. That is, so who whatever

176
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: teams they are negotiating with, don't feel like, well, this

177
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: is our best offer, and it's the best offer you have,

178
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: and you're trading them no matter what. It's So once

179
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 3: the Nets get their very best offer and the team

180
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 3: whoever made it say it's the Raptors, and the Raptors

181
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: are like, this is the best offer you're gonna get, that,

182
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: the Nets can go back to them and say, okay, well,

183
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: if that's the best offer we're gonna get, we are

184
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: not trading him, as opposed to an auction, where it

185
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 3: is whatever the top dollar bid is. It's like in

186
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: an auction it would be like it did not meet

187
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: the reserve, we are pulling back the item. But the

188
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: Nets are trading, but they're all the Nets are all

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 3: also the Nets. Someone I should say put out there,

190
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 3: hey Lakers, just so you know, we're talking with Philly

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: and with Dallas. Now I can't report whether or not

192
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: they were talking with Dallas. The people will cover about Kyrie.

193
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: That is, the people that are cover the MAVs say

194
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: the MAVs are not just in Kyrie. But I can

195
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: tell you and I did report, and I will report.

196
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: The Sixers have had no conversations with the Nets. So

197
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: why did it get out that they did. Who benefits

198
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: from that? The Net lists because they want the best

199
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: possible deal. Now, do I think it's going to happen immediately, No,

200
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: because they do have time on their side and that

201
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: the season doesn't start for a few months. But I

202
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: absolutely believe Kevin Durant's going to be in a different uniform.

203
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: I've made the argument the Pelicans that one other thing

204
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 3: on the Pelicans trade. It's not just that they can

205
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: trade Brandon Ingram, who's a homeless man's Kevin Durant and

206
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: an all star. All those picks, plus they can throw

207
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: in Larry Nance, they can throw in another nice decent

208
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: It's also that Willy Green was an assistant coach in

209
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: Golden State with Durant. Willy Green and Durant have a relationship.

210
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 3: Willy Green is now the head coach of the Pelicans.

211
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 3: Durant likes CJ. McCollums game. They just locked up Zion Williamson.

212
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: New Orleans is an amazing city. This absolutely if you

213
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: can get Willy Green and Katie together, I think it

214
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: could happen. The Raptors are obviously in play and the

215
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: sunsers first choice. I won't even entertain the possibility in

216
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 3: going to the Warriors. I don't even want to think

217
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: about that kill that rumor with fire. All right, what's next?

218
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 5: Fair points per usual. Nobody knows what the Lakers are doing.

219
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 5: Lebron is silently fighting for Kyrie, and Sham said Tuesday

220
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 5: that a Russ and Kyrie trade is gaining no traction. Yep,

221
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: and Jeanie Bust sent out a weird tweet that seemed

222
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: like yeah, and I couldn't seem to find it.

223
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 4: Honestly, you want to read it?

224
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of want to say, I understand why

225
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: it's hard for you to find went.

226
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 5: I went to his Twitter and I strolled down. Yes,

227
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 5: I saw, I saw the little tweet that they put out.

228
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 4: Uh, you went to the Twitter Genie Bus. Okay, Genie

229
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 4: Bus the Lakers.

230
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Genie, here's the problem. Genie Bus is a woman, okay,

231
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: and the owner of the Lakers.

232
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 4: Uh soda, I didn't all.

233
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: Right, listen, all uh, just a little assumption. All a

234
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: woman came on an NBA two. But here's the problem.

235
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 3: Whoever's tweet Twitter you went to was not Genie Bus

236
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: because first of all, this is Genie Buss's avatar pretty

237
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: clearly a woman, and all right, there's money on the ground.

238
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: My apologies, and it's her most recent tweet. The tweet reads,

239
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: I miss KB. He would understand and explain everything that

240
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: I'm not allowed to. Honestly, he was the greatest Laker ever.

241
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 3: He understood team over self, meaning your rewards would come

242
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: if you value team goals over your own, then everything

243
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: would fall into place. All can reply. So that's the tweet.

244
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: Ask the question that I want to deconstruct all of this.

245
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 5: Does Kyrie end up in LA or does Anthony Davis

246
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 5: end up getting traded?

247
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: What do you think happens here?

248
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: The only way Anthony Davis is traded is if it's

249
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: for Kevin Durant. I don't think that's gonna happen. It

250
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: would be interesting, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

251
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 3: I do believe Kyrie ends up with the Lakers. I

252
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: think that's all negotiating tactic. They're trying to get more

253
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: picks from the Lakers, and I will discuss the pick

254
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 3: thing in a moment on Genie Buss. Okay, first of all,

255
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 3: there's so much wrong with this tweet. First of all,

256
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: calling Kobe the greatest Laker ever means you have Kobe

257
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: as a greater Laker than Magic Johnson. And as people

258
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: will discover when we continue our top fifty count down

259
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: over the next few weeks, Magic Johnson played twelve years

260
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: pre HIV. Seventy five percent of those years they went

261
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: to the finals. Seventy five percent of those years he

262
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: finished first, second, or third in MVP voting. Magic Johnson

263
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 3: is the greatest Laker. But the other thing is the

264
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: and I know it's somewhat poor formed to speak. I

265
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: don't think this is speaking ill of Kobe Bryant. I

266
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 3: think this is telling an accurate story, and even in passing,

267
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: it is important we tell accurate stories. Kobe Bryant valued

268
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: team over self. Eventually, Kobe Bryant made them pick between

269
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 3: he and Shaquille O'Neal. Kobe Bryant was one of the

270
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: big reasons Phil Jackson left the Lakers and then one

271
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: of the big reasons he came back. That's from Phil's

272
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: own book. And Kobe Bryant demanded a trade. So that's

273
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 3: a little revision's history with Kobe. Now to the Lakers

274
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 3: and the idea that they might not make the trade

275
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: happen for Kyrie because they want to hold onto their

276
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: draft picks. There is this misnomer out there that the

277
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: Lakers have no draft picks because of the Anthony Davis trade.

278
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: Here is a fact. Yes, I want this to go

279
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: on social because I this Lakers draft recap part that

280
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: I'm about to start put it on the internet so

281
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: people can get the true story. Here's a fact about

282
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: the Lakers draft picks from this very moment until the

283
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: end of time. As of now, the Lakers are minus

284
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: one first round pick. They owe either they're twenty twenty

285
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: four or twenty twenty five first round pick to New Orleans.

286
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: That is it. This coming year, New Orleans and Lakers

287
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 3: can swap picks, but the Lakers are minus one pick.

288
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: There are nineteen teams in the league that are minus

289
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: one or more future first round pick, and the following

290
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: teams are minus more future picks than the Lakers are.

291
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,239
Speaker 3: Atlanta is minus two future first and a swap. Brooklyn

292
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: is minus two future first and two swaps. Denver is

293
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: minus three future first. The Clippers are minus two and

294
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: two swaps, the Bucks are minus two and two swaps.

295
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 3: Philly is minus three future first, and Minnesota, thanks to

296
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: the Gobert and Madness, is minus four future first and

297
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 3: a swamp. What do Brooklyn prior to this thing blowing up? Denver?

298
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: The Clippers, Milwaukee, Philadelphia all having common trying to win titles,

299
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: so they're minus picks. The Lakers are minus one pick

300
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: for a trade they made and they did win a title. No,

301
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: the idea that you won't that you're gonna try to

302
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 3: when you think it Kyrie and a shooter, it would

303
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: be Kyrie and Joe Harris, and you want to hold

304
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: onto the picks. It's just insane mismanagement. I don't think

305
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen. I think Kyrie's getting in a Blaker,

306
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: all right, What's next?

307
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 5: Okay, three mid teams made big moves. The Wolves got

308
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: go Bear, the Hawks got John Say Murray. The Nick's

309
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 5: got Jalen Brunson and was so obvious that they might

310
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 5: be fine for tampering.

311
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: Yep, these three moves. Do you like the most? And

312
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 4: which one do you like the least? I feel like

313
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: I kind of know.

314
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 3: Okay, tell me.

315
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 5: Does the Knicks getting Jalen Brunson did Dallas lose like

316
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 5: cap space? I mean no, no, not cap space they

317
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 5: give up picks.

318
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: Or anything like that.

319
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 3: No, it was just straight signing.

320
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 4: I think you like that move the most.

321
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: I like it for who for Dallas? So I don't

322
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 3: hate it for Dallas. I think they take a small

323
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: step back. But I wouldn't have paid Jalen Brunson what

324
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: the Knicks paid him. So if the option was pay

325
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 3: Jalen bruns In twenty seven million a year or let

326
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: him walk, I'm fine with it. But that the one

327
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: I like the most for the team getting the player

328
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 3: is I like the Hawks getting to Jontey Murray. Okay,

329
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 3: I know they paid a lot for it, but he's

330
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 3: a perfect compliment to Trey Young. I think it absolutely works.

331
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: They did pay a premium, but they gotta They're fighting

332
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: for their lives in the Eastern Conference. They needed to

333
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: make a big move. Jontay Murray is young. He was

334
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 3: an All Star. He was twenty one to nine and

335
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 3: eight last year. He is an excellent defender. I like him.

336
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: I'm ambivalent on the Knicks trade, and the Rudy Gobert

337
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: trade is the single most egregious overpay in NBA history.

338
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: You gave up five players and five first round picks.

339
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: It's madness. It's utter madness that they did that. I'm

340
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: shocked by it. I don't even know if Gobert and

341
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony Towns can play together. I'm sure they can

342
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: in the regular season. But I like, I don't love,

343
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: but I like what the Hawks did. I'm fine with

344
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: what the Knicks did. I think what the Timberwolves did

345
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 3: is an abomination. All right, what's last?

346
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: Okay? People are pissed about you putting Duncan over Kobe.

347
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me explain this real quick. So Duncan's spot

348
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 3: on the top fifty list hasn't been revealed, But the

349
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 3: fact that he hasn't been revealed and we put Kobe

350
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 3: at six means Duncan is somewhere in that top five,

351
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: so go ahead.

352
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I can't lie. I'm kind of confused about

353
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 5: that as well. Oh okay, a lot of people argue

354
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 5: that Kobe's better than Lebron. Okay, you don't even have

355
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 5: him above Tim Duncan. Yeah, so defend yourself here.

356
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 4: Okay.

357
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 3: Anyone that argues Kobe is better than loses their right

358
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: to give NBA opinions. Okay, I'm not saying you, but

359
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: you're right some of your friends. I used to have

360
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 3: to argue with those idiots about this. Here's the thing.

361
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 3: Everyone agrees that, you know what, they were both great defenders.

362
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: I would argue Lebron was the better defender, but let's

363
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 3: just call the defensive wash. Everyone agrees Lebron's a better

364
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 3: rebounder and a better passer. Yeah, nobody argues that. So

365
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: it's like, yes, but Kobe's the better shooter, except Lebron'

366
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 3: is a better shooter. Nick, No, he's not. Just well,

367
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: he is a better far better field goal percentage. Okay,

368
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: that's because Lebron shots come at the rim. What about threes?

369
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: Lebron James is a better in the playoffs and regular

370
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 3: season three point shooter. Than Kobe Bryant. Look it up, Okay,

371
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: but Lebron couldn't score like Kobe. Lebron James Averages averages

372
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 3: more points in the playoffs and in the regular season

373
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: than Kobe Bryant. Oh, nick, but Kobe was more clutch

374
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 3: than Lebron. Kobe Bryant. Who you want to go to

375
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 3: the clutch most clutchiest clutch clutch stuff playoff buzzer beaters

376
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 3: Kobe has won. Lebron has five, which is of course

377
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: the most in NBA history. The Kobe vers Lebron stuff

378
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: is nonsense. The Kobe versus Duncan stuff. I will listen

379
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 3: to the argument. However, they and this is the part

380
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 3: where Kobe the Kobe folks frustrate me. They're like, oh,

381
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: my god, but Tim Duncan had Greg Popovich and Kobe

382
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 3: Bryant had Phil Jackson. Oh yeah, but Duncan had had

383
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 3: Man Hu and Tony Parker, and Kobe had Kill O'Neal.

384
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 3: They have the same number of championships. Duncan has one

385
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: extra MVP. Duncan has one extra Finals MVP. Kobe, in

386
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 3: the heart of his prime, missed the playoffs and then

387
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: had back to back first round exits. Duncan never missed

388
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: the playoffs, won fifty games every single year, and in

389
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 3: five and seven didn't have another top seventy five teammate.

390
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: In three, his only top seventy five teammate was David Robinson,

391
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 3: and Robinson was in the last year of his career,

392
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 3: averaging eight point spraan Tim Duncan, also, by the way,

393
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 3: is as great as the defender Kobe was. Duncan is

394
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 3: the clear better defender, one of the four greatest defensive

395
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: players ever, and the greatest teammate. He and Steph Curri

396
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: are the two greatest teammates of the modern era. I'm

397
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 3: not listen. I have Kobe six, I have Duncan, you know,

398
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: not far ahead of him. I don't want to spoil

399
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: the list. So it's not like it's not arguable, but

400
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: it is the arguments for that Kobe folks make, which

401
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: is that Duncan had the better coach, the better organization,

402
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: and the better teammates. The Spurs were a nothing organization.

403
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: Popovich had done nothing in this league, and David Robinson,

404
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: as great as he was, had been to an NBA finals.

405
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: Munch Let's want a championship. Kobe went to the Los

406
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 3: Angeles Lakers with a six time champion head coach and

407
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: Sequille O'Neill. So I'm not taking anything away from Kobe.

408
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: I think Duncan is fairly out of them. But I

409
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 3: went too long. I'm taking away our time to talk tennis.

410
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: So we'll be right back.

411
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 6: We're so done with New Year, New you. This year,

412
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 6: it's more you on bumbo. More of you shamelessly sending playlists,

413
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 6: especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you

414
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 6: finding geminis because you know you always liked them. More

415
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 6: of you dating with intention because you know what you

416
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 6: want and you know what We love that for you.

417
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 6: Someone else will too, be more you this year and

418
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 6: find them on bumble.

419
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: Durant tweeting about chet from last night.

420
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 4: What's he got to say?

421
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: I see you cooking seven first day on the job

422
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: was success. Love the kick at jeded holmgering because he

423
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: was wearing Katie's new shoes. Oh, I'm telling you, Durant

424
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: back to He's not gonna do it, but they could

425
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: make it work. They have all the picks in the world.

426
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: And the nets need that right.

427
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: The nets need the picks. They could they and Durant

428
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: listen Durant has done a lot of stuff, and then

429
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: we'll get into the B block. But Durant's done a

430
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 3: lot of stuff, intentionally or not that are very similar

431
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: to Lebron's career arc. Starting a small market got him

432
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 3: to a finals at age twenty two, looked like, oh,

433
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna be there every year. Never got back, got

434
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: dissolution there? Left Where did he go to a team

435
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 3: that had an MVP caliber player who had already won

436
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: a championship without him? For Lebron, that's Miami. For Durant,

437
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: it's Golden State. Now, those weren't the same situations, they

438
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: were similar stays there for UH wins two championships there,

439
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 3: and somehow it feels like AH probably could have won more.

440
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: But when two championships there and left, Lebron goes to

441
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 3: the Lakers, sets up shop on you know, one coast

442
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 3: business empire and basketball has someone another star come play with.

443
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: Durant goes to Brooklyn, sets up shop. Is in a

444
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: star coming? What's the difference? Durant skipped the most important

445
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: step for Lebron, the homecoming, going back to well, yes,

446
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 3: of course, the champion of the Lakers put Lebron between Miami,

447
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: and the Lakers went back to Cleveland wins the title.

448
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: When Lebron went back to Cleveland, what did they have

449
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: a young All Star caliber point guard who had never

450
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: played in a playoff game, irving Shay Gilgess Alexander What

451
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 3: did Cleveland also just got a top two pick that

452
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 3: they could either keep or trade for an All Star?

453
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: What the thunder just gave Chet Holmgren? It it fixed

454
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: man and I it would be the only thing place

455
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: he could go that would be met with universal approval. Yeah,

456
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 3: so I don't I don't think it's gonna happen, but

457
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 3: I do find it interesting. Not nearly as interesting as

458
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: I find Wimbledon, though. Right now, so let's get going

459
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 3: with the second segment of the show, Welcome back in Demons.

460
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

461
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 4: You got three games in one segment coming up, really.

462

476
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: Uh yeah. So apparently when Wimbledon is going.

477
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: On, Wimbledon's going on.

478
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 4: Found that out this morning. Yeah, pretty wild. They're changing

479
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 4: it up now and they're playing on grass.

480
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Wimbledon's always been on grass, but go ahead.

481
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 4: Okay, I thought it was new.

482
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 5: But yes, your show. I can't stop you from talking

483
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: about it. Oh what would you like to talk about?

484
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: First of all this weekend? If you said scene the

485
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: Curios Citypas match, you would have become a tennis fan.

486
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 4: Okay.

487
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 3: So Curios is like wildly talented but incredibly emotional. Underachieved

488
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 3: is the fact of the matter. Cizzy Boss has his

489
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: own issues, Like he takes these long bathroom breaks which

490
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: people feel like are really rest breaks.

491
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: But what do you do?

492
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 3: Like He's like, I got you to the bathroom rests,

493
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: So Curios was talking mad trash to him, and he

494
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: got in Citipas's head and all of a sudden, Citipas

495
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: is like firing balls into the crowd, almost domed in

496
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: old lady.

497
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 4: Oh wow.

498
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: And then also on a couple points instead of trying

499
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: to like cause in tennis you just like try to

500
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: paint the corners, hit it where the guy is. He

501
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 3: was just hitting it right atos. It was unbelievable, and

502
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: Curios won and it was dope as hell, and then

503
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: Averward Citypaz like I think he was a bully in

504
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 3: high school and all this stuff. But now we are,

505
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: we are on the precipice of what could be an

506
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: amazing semi final and then final. So right now as

507
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: we're recording Rafa, Rafa and a doll, we've talked about him. Yeah,

508
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: the fret, you know, the clay court legend also got

509
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 3: twenty two majors. Uh. He's in a dog fight right

510
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 3: now in the quarters against Taylor Fritz in America. Curios

511
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: just won as we're recording the first set in a

512
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 3: match he absolutely should win if they both win, and

513
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: I believe Rafa hopefully can come back. We have Rafa

514
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: versus Curios in the Semis biggest match of Curios' life

515
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 3: by a mile, by a mile, and Rafa's banged up.

516
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 3: If he wins and he has a chance to win Wimbledon,

517
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: it changes his career forever. If Rafa wins, and Rafa

518
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 3: after the year that he has had the idea that

519
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: he might at this point in his career become I

520
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: think it's the first guy since Rod Labor to win

521
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: all four Grand Slams in a calendar year, because he

522
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: won the Australian, he won the French. But on the

523
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: other side of the bracket is Djokovic, and Djokovic has

524
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: been the best player of the last eight years, even

525
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: better than Rafa. And so we could get a Rafa

526
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 3: Djokovic final or a Curios Djokovic final. Either way, it'll

527
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: be out of this world. And I know you're not

528
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: into the tennis, but because I knew we were going

529
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 3: to talk about this, I want to just describe to

530
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: you how utterly dominant these guys have been. So I

531
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: did some research this morning, some numbers for you. Okay,

532
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 3: So since two thousand and four, right, there have been

533
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: seventy five major championships play, Okay, so that's the Australian Open,

534
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: the French Open, Wimbledon, the US Open. Those are four

535
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 3: tournaments that matter. Since two thousand and four, there have

536
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 3: been seventy five. This is the seventy six, the one

537
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: right now, Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, the big three. Okay,

538
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: those are the guys I've been telling you about. Federer

539
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: at this point's basically done, and Nadal should be done,

540
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: but he's still somehow killing it. Of those seventy five majors,

541
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: those three guys before I even give you the number,

542
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: leg little context. Prior to those three guys existing, the

543
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: most majors anyone had ever won was fourteen. From four

544
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: to right now, been seventy five majors played. Those three

545
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: guys have won sixty one of them. They've won sixty

546
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: one majors of the last seventy five. Of the last

547
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: seventy five majors played, there have been five where at

548
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 3: least one of them was not in the final. Seventy

549
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: of the seventy five at least one of them in

550
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: the final, and most of them it's been two of

551
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 3: them playing each other. So like Djokovic has made thirty

552
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: one major finals, won twenty of them, and six of

553
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 3: his eleven losses were against Federer and an adult, but

554
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: that's not even as impressive as the other guys. Federer's

555
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: also twenty majors with eleven losses in the final, eleven

556
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: second places, but ten of those losses came to Nadal

557
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: or Joker. And then Nadal has twenty two wins and

558
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: eight losses, and seven of those came to Federer or Djokovic.

559
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 3: And we might get it again. We might get a

560
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 3: doll Djokovic again. When the doll's trying to go for

561
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: the first see you know true Grand Slam. I think

562
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 3: it's a drod labor. I know only one guy's done it.

563
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: It's exciting, man, it's great. High level tennis is great.

564
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: I know you look dump, you look stupefied by what

565
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 3: I'm saying right now. But the numbers are impossible to understand.

566
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: So like golf, do they get do they get jackets

567
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 5: or do they get like a like a no, they.

568
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: Get like so like second place. Let me show you

569
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: real quick. It's pretty cool for Wimbledon trophies because the

570
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: winner's trophy is unbelievable and the second place trophy is

571
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 3: just like a plate. So that's what the winner gets,

572
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: that's what second place gets. It looks it is pretty

573
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: cool you get something.

574
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 4: I like that a lot more than the green jacket.

575
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 3: The green jacket is kind of bougie, you know, country clubbing. Yeah, no, no, no,

576
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: it's great. Man. I want to go to Wimbledon so

577
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: bad one day.

578
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you want to?

579
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: I look it up? Hold on, sorry, I know there's

580
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 3: like eight minutes on tennis, but I got it. Do

581
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: you want to know what the Wimbledon final tickets are

582
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: going for? Right now?

583
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 5: People are out here buying Wimbledon tickets instead of buying

584
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 5: a PS five or something.

585
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous.

586
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 3: The Wimbledon Men's final. What do you think the cheapest

587
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 3: ticket is the cheapest ticket to get in Lisbon? Give

588
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: it a guess?

589
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 4: Nosebleeds or do they even know? They won't?

590
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's not it's not like it's not a

591
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: football stitty.

592
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm gonna say fifteen hundred.

593
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 3: Bucks eighty two hundred euros, so it's like ten thousand

594
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: dollars the cheapest ticket if you want to sit next

595
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: to oh that you can't even sit next to the

596
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 3: Royal box anymore. Who do you think sits in.

597
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 4: The royal box at queen.

598
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you bet your ass, Yeah, you bet your ass.

599
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: And if she can't make it, remember the royal family goes. Okay,

600
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: all right, So when people see, see or hear this,

601
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 3: they'll know if Curios are not all of one. We

602
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 3: are rooting for Curios and and all to win, and

603
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: we are rooting for the winner of Curios and a

604
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 3: doll to beat Djokovic. We're not Djokovic fans. We like Federer,

605
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 3: we love Nadol. Curios is a guy you would enjoy

606
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: rooting for it. Forget Jokovic. Not a big Jokovic fan. Okay,

607
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 3: that was a solid eight minutes on Wimbledon.

608
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 4: I didn't think you could do that.

609
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 3: Well, it's tennis. That's amazing, all right, next next game,

610
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: Sorry about that, guys, let's go.

611
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 4: Nick makes it right.

612
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 5: We're gonna talk about tanking in the NBA seasons months away,

613
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 5: and it seems like half the league is tanking already.

614
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: You know why, because they want vic Victor I pronounced

615
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 3: Victor when whim ban Yama. Have you seen this guy?

616
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: And guessing is like a seven foot or something.

617
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 3: He's a seven foot three inch French kid. Let me

618
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 3: just show you him real quick and then we can

619
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 3: do it.

620
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 4: I might have seen a clip.

621
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: Actually, oh, I mean the I mean this guy is Okay,

622
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: you asked the question, and while I am, you're gonna

623
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: watch these highlights of this freak show. All right.

624
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 5: So the Spurs pacers in jazz or trading, trading their

625
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 5: starts for picks, rockets and thunders, Rockets, Thunder and Kings

626
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 5: are basically making no moves. The Blazers and Knicks are

627
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 5: kind of fake trying right now, but they'll be taking soon.

628
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 4: How do we stop thanking in the NBA?

629
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: Okay, So here's the thing. While I answer, you, just

630
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 3: go ahead and watch. You'll be able to tell which

631
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 3: one is the seven foot three inch French freak that's

632
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: gonna go number one overall next year. Here's the deal.

633
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 3: I don't mind what the Spurs did. I don't mind

634
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: trading away your best player and then trying what Here's

635
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 3: what I don't like beinching quality players because you're trying

636
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: to lose that If the guy's on your team and

637
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: he helps you win, you should play it. But if

638
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 3: you're just saying, we know we can't compete this year.

639
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: So We're gonna try our hardest to win every game.

640
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: We're just not gonna be able to do it because

641
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: our players stink, and they stink intentionally. I'm good with it,

642
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: Like I'm actually okay with that way of going about it.

643
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 3: The other factor is this, the NBA changed the odds.

644
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 3: What because you don't know what the how they flatten

645
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 3: the odds? What if you have the worst record in

646
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 3: the NBA, what percent chance do you think you have

647
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:12,720
Speaker 3: of getting the number.

648
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 4: One overall pick?

649
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 3: Like give it a guess, Like what because you know

650
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: it's a lottery.

651
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 4: So they fourteen if you're the worst team, the worst.

652
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: Team, they've flattened it. So the bottom four teams, they

653
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 3: all have a fourteen percent chance or it's fourteen, fourteen, twelve.

654
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 4: How do they pick it?

655
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: It's literally ping pong balls. Okay, And so point is this,

656
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: You can try to tank, but you still have fourteen

657
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 3: percent is one and seven. If you have the worst

658
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 3: record in basketball, you still have a six out of

659
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 3: seven chance that you're not going to get the number

660
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 3: one pick and a fifty percent chance that you're not

661
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 3: even going to get a top three pick or top

662
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: four pick. Now they've changed it so it's risky. What

663
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: I don't like is when you have you could compete,

664
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 3: and instead you bench your quality players because you're trying

665
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: to lose. But I think the NBA has done what

666
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 3: they can. I don't think tanking is big as big

667
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: of a deal as other people do. I'm also more

668
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 3: interested in Wimbledon than I am in tanking, which twy

669
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 3: I spent more time on it.

670
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 4: All right, last game though, this this guy's amazing.

671
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he's pretty good. I mean's a nineteen

672
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: year old seven foot three in French kid.

673
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's pretty good. He's got a little

674
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 4: little Bois game. Yeah.

675
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 5: So this or that, Yeah, so much has been happening

676
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 5: in free agency.

677
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 4: So we put a bunch of this or that's together. Okay,

678
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 4: we'll do a Yeah, we'll do as mean as you

679
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 4: can get to at the time.

680
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 5: Left, So starting with big extensions, bigger no brainer Booker

681
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 5: or Jokic.

682
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 3: Oh, they're equal, no brainers, they're ondred percent. They both

683
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. Have to get the max, the super max,

684
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 3: all of it. Yeah, they're both all NBA caliber guys.

685
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 3: I don't think MVP, but it's clearly all NBA caliber guys,

686
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: those are both one hundred percent no brainers. All right,

687
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: go brighter future, Zion or Job. That one's so hard.

688
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: Joh's accomplished more. Josh sneaky Lee, to me, is also

689
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 3: a health risk because of the way he plays. I

690
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 3: think Zion's ceiling is higher, but given what Jaw's accomplished,

691
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 3: You've got to give the nod to Ja. But if

692
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 3: Zion stays healthy, he will win a league.

693
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 4: I was about to say, you think the way I

694
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 4: guess Zion seems like a.

695
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 3: No of Zion's is the biggest injury risk. My point is,

696
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 3: I actually think Josh sneakily is a pretty big injury

697
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 3: risk as well.

698
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: Right, I'm waiting to happen.

699
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 3: Just because of the style of his play. But I'll

700
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: give it to Joe, even though I adore Zion.

701
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 4: Next more painful uh Zach Lavine or Bradley Beal.

702
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: Oh, I think the bal extension is a killer, and

703
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 3: I like Bradley a lot. I know him a little bit.

704
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 3: But a quarter billion for Bradley Beal when he's probably

705
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 3: gonna ask out in a year and he has given

706
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: no indications gonna ask out, I just think he probably

707
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 3: is that and then it becomes a hard contract. The

708
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 3: more painful one is Bradley Beal next.

709
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 4: Better Bet Garland or Simmons Simons.

710
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: I think Simons, No, no, no, no, you're fine already. Uh,

711
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 3: Darius Garland Darry Anthony Simons is a bit of an

712
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: overpay to me. I think Darius Garland's really really good

713
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 3: and he's gonna look keep it better alongside Lebron.

714
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 4: Lebron goes back in a year.

715
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 3: Okay, do we still have more?

716
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 4: Do we do have a few?

717
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: Lets do it next under the radar, under the radar signings,

718
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 5: bigger impact.

719
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 4: Sorry, so this one. Dante DiVincenzo de devin Cenzo. Okay,

720
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 4: Dante DiVincenzo.

721
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: This is where you know I'm Italian Demonse happens not

722
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 3: to be and it showed there. That's okay, go ahead.

723
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 4: Or Bruce Brown.

724
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: I liked Dante DiVincenzo, and I think on the Wars

725
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 3: with a bunch open threes, he's gonna look good. But

726
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: I called around the league because I couldn't believe how

727
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 3: cheap he was, and a lot of the smart people

728
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 3: around the league said it doesn't measure out well. Okay,

729
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 3: and so Bruce Brown also like Bruce Brown as an

730
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: eighth man for Denver. I think that works all right.

731
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 4: Next okay, more likely to swing title.

732
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: P J.

733
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 4: Tucker or Joe Ingles.

734
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 3: Joe and Joe Ingles is gonna hit a big three

735
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 3: in a big spot for Philly. I'm sorry for Milwaukee.

736
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 3: At some point.

737
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: PJ.

738
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: Tucker is gonna be too old. He played well in

739
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 3: these playoffs. But I'll say Joe Ingles for Milwaukee.

740
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 4: Next okay. Better, uh, worse move Marvin Bagley or Lou Dort.

741
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 3: All right, Marvin Bagley three for thirty eight or Lou

742
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 3: Dort's incomprehensible five for eighty eight. I actually think Marvin

743
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 3: Bagley was the worst move because I thought Marvin Bagley

744
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: was gonna get one year eight million Dort. OKC has

745
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 3: to spend money. You have to get to salary cap,

746
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 3: but there's also a minimum spend, and they got all

747
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 3: guys on rookie contracts. Dort's played hard for him. He's

748
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 3: an excellent defender, He's turned into a passable shooter. They're

749
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: both overpays Bagley's is worse, all right.

750
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 5: Last better role player JaVale McGee or Gary Payton.

751
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 3: Gary Payton's the better player. But what Dallas did was smart,

752
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 3: which is when you can get like think about the

753
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 3: money Rudy Gobert commands and the draft picks he can,

754
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 3: you can get sixty percent of him, which is Javaial

755
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 3: McGee for ten percent of the cost. So I think

756
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: that's a smart signing by Dallas. But Gary Payton Junior

757
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 3: is a better player and exactly what Portland needs. All Right,

758
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 3: that was a long segment, but it was worth it,

759
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 3: jam packed with info. They won't tell me what we're

760
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 3: doing in the C block, Demanse says he has a

761
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 3: tail from my trip to Chicago, which I can only

762
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 3: imagine involves something I did at the casino, which I

763
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 3: was at till seven in the morning, my first day

764
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 3: in Chicago.

765
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 4: Yet a hangover night.

766
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: Well, we'll discuss, we'll do that next. What's right, ohoh,

767
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: Cura is up two sets to nothing, so he's gonna

768
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 3: you gotta win three sets. He's gonna win even though

769
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 3: Djokovic was down two sets nothing and came storming back yesterday.

770
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: He also did the long bathroom break thing and then

771
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 3: it was totally good.

772
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 4: Are you serious right now?

773
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: You don't get to you can't. It's not like time out.

774
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: You did no coach like and these matches are exhausting, bro. Yeah,

775
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 3: and at some point you're allowed to go to the bathroom,

776
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 3: but sometimes they take a little longer and then said,

777
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: what are they doing? They're regrouping?

778
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 4: Of course, Rafa.

779
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 3: Raffa's got to win this second, stef.

Speaker 3: to Chicago to see two great sports media personalities and

784
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 3: two of my best friends in the world, Danny Parkins

785
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 3: and Mark Carmon. They've both I think, shown up at

786
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 3: various times on our Top fifty players last fifty years.

787
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 4: Out down shot those boys.

788
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 3: And bad moment for me. Danny is my best friend

789
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 3: of twenty years. He has an infant, a two month

790
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 3: old and a two and a half year old. Ye

791
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: As soon as I got there, because I surprised Danny,

792
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 3: I told his wife I was coming. As soon as

793
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: I got there, I saw his two and a half

794
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 3: year old, Owen, and I said, buddy, so uncle Nick,

00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 3: Danny's baby. And Danny looked at me and goes, uh.

797
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,279

834
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 3: That's neither here or there. That's that's just you know.

835
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 4: All right. So I'm finish. I'm about to tell the guy.

836
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm telling everybody what happened right now. Okay.

837
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 5: So this guy goes into my Maestros Masstros whatever you

00:43:58,760 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 5: call it, Steakhouts five star.

839
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 4: So I was to step in and they're like you dude,

840
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 4: you can't come in. You got this pink jumpson. What

841
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 4: are you doing?

842
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 5: And he's like, yo, thus far the story is accurate. Yeah,

843
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 5: And then he's like, yo, do you guys, just check

844
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 5: my history.

845
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure.

846
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: I is, wait, check check.

847
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 4: Check my history, check my credentials. Whatever you told them.

848
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 3: I thought you check my Instagram, which I definitely check

849
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 3: my check my Instagram. Yeah, I told him to look

850
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 3: up my customer profile.

851
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 4: Yeah I am.

852
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 5: It's like, I'm sure you guys can let me in,

853
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 5: and they're like, nobody, sorry, you still can't get in.

854
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 4: And then how did it go after that?

855
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 3: Like, well, all right, friends, he's saying is accurate to

856
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 3: this point. So I walked in and I had a feeling.

857
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, Mastros has a pretty strict dress code

858
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 3: and I am wearing a hot pink sweatsuit. However, I am.

859
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 3: I go to Mastros in New York City a lot.

860
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 3: I spend a lot of money there. And again, I

861
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 3: I sound like an asshole here, but there's just the truth.

862
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 3: They even like on the check like they have a

863
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 3: little line item that says that literally says Mastro's VIP,

864
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: and they take it. You know, they give me a

865
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 3: few things off the bill because I'm such a good

866
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 3: customer and I know that they have that in their system.

867
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 3: So when the guy's like, we can't seat you, I'm like,

868
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 3: I bet you can't. He's like, sir, we can't, and

869
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 3: he like points and like they literally have a sign

870
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 3: that says dress code strictly enforced. I'm like, can you

871
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 3: just put my name in there? And he's like, I can,

872
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: but I don't think that's gonna help. I'm like, I

873
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 3: bet it will, and he puts it in and he's like, sir,

874
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 3: we really do appreciate your business, but I can't let

875
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 3: you in. He's like, if it was just the sweat shirt,

876
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,439
Speaker 3: maybe I could. He's like, put your wearing sweat sweatsuit.

877
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 3: And so I was like, all right, like she'll be it.

878
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 3: So I went back to the car and I was like,

879
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: and well, the car was still at Valet and I'm like, guys,

880
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 3: don't park it. And the guys at Valet were like

881
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 3: they wouldn't let you in. Huh. I'm like no, it's

882
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 3: like and that one of them says it says like

883
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 3: most of his friend. He was like, we thought they

884
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 3: might not. I'm like, we should have get it's.

885
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 5: Like, could have given the equivalent that you try to

886
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 5: flame me for of me going to the back to

887
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 5: the NBA store to return my jersey.

888
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 4: It's quite like, Hey, I'm clearly a basketball player. Okay,

889
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 4: I should be able to return this jersey. Don't you

890
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 4: see my physic it's going to take it back for me.

891
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 3: It's not quite the same, but I understand. So then

892
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 3: I had to make a choice because I really wanted

893
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 3: to get Mestros because it is a great steakhout. Do

894
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 3: I stand on pride and just go somewhere else? By

895
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 3: the way, it's Friday night in Chicago. We don't have

896
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 3: reservations elsewhere, yeah, Or I just come from the airport.

897
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 3: I literally have clothes in the car. Do I just change?

898
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 3: And I thought about it. I would have changed, and

899
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 3: I changed. Yeah, And I went came back in, and

900
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 3: the guy who denied me entry was no longer your pride.

901
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 4: Thing was just like, you're not about to make me

902
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 4: change on my clothes and exactly right.

903
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 3: But then I did because I wanted to eat there.

904
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 3: So now this is the part of the story. Your

905
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: mom doesn't know. So we come back in and uh,

906
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 3: he's not there anymore. And I just walked back and

907
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 3: act like I hadn't been there before. It's like, hey,

908
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 3: Nick Wright, eight o'clock reservation, and this lady looks it up,

909
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 3: But there's this different lady who was standing there who

910
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 3: saw the whole first. There's two hostesses, so Hostess two

911
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 3: is the one helping me. She didn't see any of

912
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 3: the first thing. Hostess one, who's just watching, did see it.

913
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: Post Who's like, oh, yeah, no problem, we have your

914
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 3: table already. Sweet, I don't want to deal with any

915
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: of this. But now the other hostess is walking us

916
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 3: to the table. She seats us sit down, and she said,

917
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 3: for the record, I thought your sweatsuit was pretty fly.

918
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 3: And my argument is dress codes should be yes, you

919
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 3: can have a dress code, with the exception being did

920
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 3: you put is it an outfit? Did you put time

921
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 3: and thought into it?

922
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 4: And okay, I don't know about time and thought. It's

923
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,400
