If your football team had one option

0:02

in their playbook, the results probably

0:04

wouldn't be great. The same

0:06

could be said for your investments.

0:09

Cebo index options like SPX and

0:11

XSP can help expand your investing

0:13

strategies with cash settlement and potential

0:15

tax advantages. If you're ready for

0:18

a more dynamic game plan, head

0:20

to better with options.com. Cebo. Life

0:22

is better with options. Your

0:24

investments could be too. There

0:26

are risks associated with Cebo

0:28

company products. Reviewers. We are

0:30

live welcome back everybody.

0:32

Everybody's in the chat. We

0:35

appreciate y'all coming in nice

0:37

and early. We have quite the

0:39

episode to talk about, quite

0:42

the eventful week in the NBA.

0:44

The most eventful week in a

0:46

long time, even in probably

0:49

several years. Man, where do

0:51

we begin? I don't know. Yeah,

0:53

I think that like obviously there's

0:55

the very clear jump off point.

0:58

Like. Luca's still been traded and

1:00

the there's been two times for me

1:02

this entire weekend where it's actually felt

1:05

felt real I saw Luca get off

1:07

the plane and I was like oh

1:09

wow like they actually did it he's

1:11

actually going to LA and then today

1:14

he had his introductory press conference and

1:16

I was like wow he is a Laker and we're

1:18

gonna see this for the next decade.

1:20

Your god damn right he is. Nico

1:22

Harrison is out here. playing in everybody's

1:25

faces. I love everybody on Twitter keeps

1:27

telling me I'm taking a heel turn.

1:29

I'm taking a villain arc. I'm like

1:31

becoming the fucking bad guy because of

1:33

this Lukas shit and how I'm rubbing

1:36

everybody's face. And I'm just not gonna

1:38

talk about who you are. It's so

1:40

good. You've been on Lukas meat for

1:42

like years now and obviously he's on

1:44

your team. So it's like you're going

1:47

to be writing hard than ever. You

1:49

had to defend me by calling me a

1:51

dick writer. Nice. I mean you know

1:53

what you are. Welcome back everybody. We

1:55

see everybody in the chat. I appreciate

1:57

y'all. As you guys see by the

1:59

title. We're going to talk about the

2:01

remaining trade deadline moves, the players that are

2:03

in rumors, where we expect everybody to go.

2:06

But obviously we're also going to talk about

2:08

things that have been happening with recent

2:10

days. And we got to start by

2:12

giving our second go-around, talking about the

2:14

Lukadonchus trade, we posted our emergency episode. That

2:16

was like pure adrenaline. Literally, they texted me,

2:19

the trade happened, we jumped down, I ran

2:21

in my basement, we turned on, we turned

2:23

the cameras on. So there was no time to think

2:25

about anything. What's your main takeaway

2:28

now after a couple of days

2:30

of thinking about it? Okay, so

2:32

clearly, I remember you said these very

2:34

specific words that I hope the viewers

2:36

at the time in that big episode,

2:39

like really swallowed and took in. They

2:41

are probably going to know more than

2:43

us at that point in time when

2:45

the video was posted. We know

2:47

almost little to nothing now and

2:50

there was no actual real valuable

2:52

information other than knowing that you

2:54

like Nico Harrison. has like legitimate

2:57

issues static and probably has like

2:59

trouble at home and like he's

3:02

just a troubled individual. He turned

3:04

into a troubled individual. There's no

3:06

others like supporting evidence. There's nothing

3:09

crazy that came out of Luke

3:11

or Lucas Camp that let us

3:13

know that he wanted a trade. So this

3:16

just lets me know that like these Mavericks

3:18

fans specifically are going to be in for

3:20

a very very long ride until this man's

3:22

up out of office. Yeah, you're right. The

3:24

main takeaway couple days later is it is

3:26

still as bad shit and sane as it

3:28

seemed in the moment. In fact, I think

3:30

it is increasingly more ridiculous. Every single time

3:32

we've saw Neico Harrison open his mouth, it

3:34

got more and more ridiculous. Somehow it was the

3:36

least surprising the moment it happened when we knew

3:39

nothing. Now that I know exactly what he was

3:41

thinking, I'm like, oh, so he is just an idiot. Like

3:43

there isn't a silver lining. There isn't something he knows that

3:45

we don't, he knows that we don't, he knows that we

3:47

don't, he knows that we don't, he knows that we don't,

3:49

he knows that we don't, he knows that we don't, he knows

3:51

that we don't, he knows that we don't. Notty

3:53

and it's it's one thing to be

3:56

like bad is one thing to be

3:58

bad at your job just because you're

4:00

bad at it. It's another it's

4:02

another thing to have like some

4:04

weird like apparent personal vendetta again

4:06

and the way that and the

4:09

way that he gets down that

4:11

causes you to make a decision

4:13

that makes you be bad at

4:15

your job and changes the course

4:17

of the franchise forever honestly

4:20

and a decision that obviously

4:22

Very little people in the organization knew about

4:24

it. It feels like something out of a reality

4:26

show that you go back and you're like, oh,

4:29

this is just beef, because it's like, it's scripted,

4:31

something, something had to happen, they had to write

4:33

in this little, this little conversation, and now we

4:35

look at it and it's like. It was

4:37

a real housewife of Dallas, like it

4:39

doesn't make sense for any of this

4:41

that happened. Some of the comments was

4:43

like, how much do you think Negro

4:46

Harrison's xenophobia played into this? And my

4:48

first thought was like, come on, it's

4:50

not fair to go there. And I

4:52

thought about it. I was like, well,

4:54

I guess nothing's off the table. Yeah,

4:56

clearly there was some, they didn't get

4:58

down with Luca, from a front office

5:00

down perspective, led by Negroa

5:03

Harrison. There was lots of reports

5:05

about things they did to alienate

5:07

him over the years. And it

5:10

seemed like they were looking for

5:12

any reason to give up on

5:14

the experience. They did not vibe

5:16

with his personality, his work ethic,

5:18

his fit with the team culture,

5:20

all this bullshit, and that got

5:23

us here. It's just hilarious looking

5:25

back now. Like it's so, so sad. If

5:27

you're a Mazz fan, you should be a

5:29

Spurs fan by now. I was looking at

5:32

Nico Harrison before the trade

5:34

deadline of last year, or really like

5:36

two years ago when they got Cairo

5:38

Irving. I was looking at him with

5:40

like a real microscope, because at that

5:43

point in time, the Mavericks were

5:45

making every wrong decision possible, whether

5:47

it be letting Goa, Jason, Jaylon

5:50

Brunson, the Chrisosprusing thing also, then

5:52

you go ahead, trade for Cairo

5:54

Irving, you miss a playoffs, get

5:57

something, get seems he worse and all

5:59

that, tank. you get direct, direct, lively, okay,

6:01

you go ahead, upgrade your team even

6:03

more, PJ Washington and all that, and

6:05

you make a run to the NBA

6:07

finals and all the mistakes that you

6:10

do in the past, just get reverted.

6:12

And because you make that run and

6:14

because this team's synergy and just everything

6:16

is clicking and you got Derek lively

6:18

and Daniel got for the perfect like.

6:21

too big to bounce off the loop,

6:23

the carrier, everything's like the best Batman

6:25

you could imagine next to look like

6:27

everyone just doesn't care about that anymore.

6:29

And now like a complete bombshell just

6:32

dropped on her head and he just

6:34

like exposes himself in like the

6:36

worst way possible and all the

6:38

wrongdoing that he did, although it was

6:40

undue for just like a single year,

6:42

has been like gone. I don't know.

6:45

Like I have no words. I know

6:47

you actually. Everything good he did before

6:49

this, getting Kyrie, getting PJ, getting live,

6:51

everything you said, the laundry list of

6:53

good moves that we applauded him for

6:55

in the last year and a half,

6:57

it's absolutely meaningless now. He'll go down

6:59

in history as a guy that traded Luka.

7:01

Not the guy that did a lot of

7:03

good before training Luka, or the guy that

7:05

maybe did a lot of good after trained

7:07

Luka, he will just be the guy that

7:09

got rid of the franchise legend. And that's

7:12

just hilarious, like, I can't

7:14

remember another time in which

7:16

we saw somebody in the

7:18

NBA just stamped their legacy

7:20

forever, no matter what happens

7:22

before, what happens after, in this

7:25

dramatic of a fashion. And it's,

7:27

it's, I feel, I feel kind of

7:29

bad because throughout the entire weekend,

7:31

like, everybody has had a chance

7:33

to sit with it and, like, we're

7:35

supposed to come up here and tell

7:37

you, you know. some type of some

7:40

level of like analysis and what's going

7:42

down I the only thing that I can

7:44

think about to say is that it

7:46

just doesn't make sense on every on

7:48

every single level yeah it doesn't make

7:50

sense because Luca in his

7:53

intro press conference today said like

7:55

they asked him was did you ever

7:57

give you know any indication of that

7:59

that you were not going to

8:01

sign the superbacks. And Luka

8:03

like literally laughed it off. It

8:05

was like, no, he's like, he's

8:08

like, he's like, obviously, he would

8:10

be like, fuck nails. He

8:12

could. Exactly. He's like, why would I,

8:14

why would I turn down 350,

8:16

370 like million dollars? And knowing

8:18

the way that, knowing the way

8:21

that the NBA works, even if

8:23

you thought that Luka didn't want to,

8:25

didn't want to be there. he was

8:27

still going to sign it. And even

8:29

if he signed the extension, if in

8:31

two years you wanted to trade Lucca,

8:34

you could do that. Somebody would trade

8:36

for Lucca Dontrich in two years if

8:38

you said that you wanted that you

8:40

wanted to trade him. Doing it in

8:42

this fashion makes absolutely no sense because

8:44

one, you completely tore down your fan

8:47

base and your franchise and all the

8:49

hope that you had specifically coming off

8:51

of NBA finals, you tore it all

8:53

down. You ruined the spirits of everybody

8:55

in the city in the city. Two, you

8:57

did not ask anybody else if anybody

8:59

else had another package. So you can't

9:02

even say, yeah, we're gonna tear it

9:04

down, but here is our plan for

9:06

the future. You just made a random

9:08

move, where you just made a move

9:10

that looks to be random, and now

9:13

you have AD and Kari, and you're

9:15

trying to sell this idea that you

9:17

can still compete for a championship right

9:19

now. That's not true. And if you

9:22

truly didn't like Nuka, then what you

9:24

should have did is been like. a

9:26

bad boyfriend and try to make the

9:28

girl break up with you first. Like

9:30

you sign with the extension, you start

9:32

leaking stuff here and there, and then

9:35

in a year and a half, Luke

9:37

comes out and he's like, yeah, I'm

9:39

not really rocking, I want to, I

9:41

want to trade. And then you go

9:43

from there, you get the bidding word,

9:46

you get all the stuff. Doing it

9:48

in this fashion, once again, does

9:50

not make sense. So there's no

9:52

level of star on your team.

9:54

I have a new assumption.

9:57

Okay. This tree.

10:00

literally makes no sense. I like

10:02

this this trade just like clicked

10:04

with me in my head after

10:06

we saw the Jason Kidd and

10:08

Nico Harrison press conference that you

10:10

referenced a couple minutes ago Isaac

10:12

when Nico Harrison said we're focused

10:14

on the future and I'm worried

10:16

about the next three to four years

10:18

knowing who he just traded four is

10:20

like 31 32 years old the next

10:23

three four years are gonna be like

10:25

really lost versus themselves. He said that

10:27

he's not worried about the

10:29

future. This organization might bury

10:31

him 10 years from now. The

10:34

NBA is a god damn

10:36

suspect. This makes zero sense

10:38

whatsoever, bro. How are you

10:40

doing this trade in the

10:42

shadows? Just talking to a

10:44

singular person who you're cool

10:46

with. Everyone knew this trade

10:49

was happening. No one was

10:51

involved for a reason. The

10:53

NBA is a god damn

10:55

suspect. You criminal. is Michael

10:57

Harrison doing his best Magic

10:59

Johnson impersonation of like, yeah, I

11:01

was immediate thinking, I'm not gonna be

11:04

here. He clearly thinks that there's a

11:06

runway and his number one thing was

11:08

one, I don't like Luca, we're gonna

11:10

get him out the paint. And then

11:13

in his mind, he's like, you know,

11:15

what will really show him winning a

11:17

championship in the two to three years

11:19

after I traded him. Yeah, that's good.

11:21

And you obviously know the Mavericks are

11:24

not gonna win a championship. the

11:26

whole fan base is going to be upset

11:28

and they're going to fire Niko Harrison

11:30

in two years if they don't win

11:32

a championship like this move is very

11:34

very indefensible if you if you don't

11:36

get immediate results or if you do

11:38

not have a plan in action to

11:40

go and build up something else so

11:42

yeah he he operated he said I'm

11:44

only thinking about the next three to

11:46

four years and operated in a in

11:48

a fashion that says I'm only going to

11:51

be here for the next two to three

11:53

according to Niko Harrison. I'm right on schedule.

11:55

I'm just, I'm just, I'm just speaking to

11:57

the player. You know what I'm saying? You

12:00

don't even get another pick? And you

12:02

don't even go, you don't get another

12:04

pick, you get a singular pick, you

12:06

don't even get another white boy? You

12:08

don't go white for white? You know,

12:10

like, all right, don't worry about, I,

12:12

y'all got Lou Good, I just, I

12:14

got Don't to connect, y'all couldn't even

12:16

get Austin Reeves, nothing? And

12:19

then, have the audacity, while everybody

12:21

is still reeling, reeling, and you're

12:23

going. Put that phone down. Step

12:25

away. Step away from the phone, ego.

12:27

You are clearly out of control. How

12:29

dare you? How dare you? How dare

12:32

I don't care? They could have traded

12:34

two first round, they could have traded

12:36

one second round pick for two first

12:38

round picks. It could have been a

12:40

good trade. I don't want to hear

12:42

that today. That's not what I'm here

12:45

for. Everybody in the city. wants to

12:47

fight Nico Harrison personally and you still

12:49

think that you have cashier to go

12:51

out and make and make deals to

12:53

which a lot of people don't even like

12:55

the deal that he made today. Yeah I'm gonna

12:57

say I think maybe he's like gotta get some

13:00

goodwill back but I get back in the lab

13:02

keep showing him to make more moves I can

13:04

get better after this trade and he says

13:06

Kayla Martin people want to pay him

13:08

this summer he got a contract he's good right

13:10

people would like that. Let me go

13:13

ahead and trade. Quinn grassworm. That's

13:15

a dub. Let me get some

13:17

good will backup. And everyone's like,

13:20

oh, that might be dower. That

13:22

might be dower than the last

13:24

one. It makes equally nonsense. Bro.

13:27

It's like over the last 72

13:29

hours, his brain has gone like

13:31

more smoother and smoother as time

13:33

is going on. And we actually

13:36

need. There's like a cry for help

13:38

out there in Dallas. Like there we've never

13:40

seen this level of just missing. I need

13:42

a hard knock in history. I need a

13:44

hard knocks from from the Dallas Mavericks. Like

13:46

the same way that over the off season,

13:48

we got to see like the Giants be

13:50

like, yeah, we're not going to pay sake

13:52

on marketing. I need inside footage of what

13:54

Nico Harrison was saying because it would just

13:56

be so funny if like he made the

13:58

trade and he's like, man, yeah. You know what?

14:00

Job well done. He's just

14:02

in, he's in his office

14:05

just really rocking. Just like,

14:07

oh yeah. Everybody and everybody's

14:09

outside protesting with pitch forks there.

14:11

They called in. They put a

14:13

coffin in that bitch. They brought

14:15

in coffins. People Amazon climbed one

14:17

day shipped coffins to make a

14:20

funeral outside of it. Like nobody

14:22

is on board with this. And

14:24

you think that it's cool. I have

14:26

no idea. what's going through his brain

14:28

and like you said it's just

14:30

a very smooth-brained thing to do. The

14:32

funny part too is he definitely thought

14:35

he cooked like he probably before

14:37

this it had the hard knocks like

14:39

you're talking about and they had behind-the-scenes

14:41

footage I guarantee you he was in

14:43

that office with his cronies around him

14:45

his assistant GMs that are just like

14:47

yeah and you go they gotta love

14:49

this one keep going cook cook he

14:51

was in there like Sometimes it makes

14:53

tough decisions to win a championship, but

14:55

it made us better. And then he

14:57

saw the internet immediately calling the biggest

14:59

idiot known a man. And he's a

15:01

shell shock. He didn't know what to

15:03

do. It was D-Day. It was the

15:05

biggest strike to his ego ever. And

15:07

normally, I don't like to get up here

15:09

and be like, these people are stupid, these

15:11

people are dumb. Like, I try to find

15:13

different verbiage besides that, like, to display like

15:15

competency, like, like, competency, and not

15:18

intelligence. I feel comfortable calling him

15:20

a fucking idiot. Like this

15:22

is straight up not intelligent.

15:24

It's so indefensible in every

15:27

way that I can't even

15:29

do a professional silver lining.

15:31

It's insane. Absolutely. I

15:33

am so comfortable over here saying

15:36

like legitimately. I think

15:38

two of the three of us would

15:40

have done a better job in like

15:42

displaying. I think chat would have done

15:44

a better job. Chat would have done

15:46

a better job. fucking Pierre would have

15:49

done a better job bro fucking legend

15:51

of winning would have done a better

15:53

job like literally any creator with just

15:55

like a working brain would have been

15:58

a better job absolutely So

16:00

obviously not a fun

16:02

day to be a Dallas Mavericks

16:04

fan I assume. I don't

16:06

know if you guys are

16:08

aware I'm having a great

16:11

time as a Lakers fan. I

16:13

think it's a wonderful day to

16:15

reside or previously reside in the

16:17

city of Los Angeles to have

16:19

roots in the city and be

16:22

blessed with wearing purple and gold

16:24

growing up. Roots in the city.

16:26

Whatever he ever said that. Whatever

16:28

we did. Whatever we did our

16:30

initial reactions episode, I was saying,

16:33

you know, we did it as

16:35

soon as a trade happened. The

16:37

question was, is LeBron going to stay

16:39

now? He's so close to the AD.

16:42

That's his guy. Luka. is going to

16:44

be the guy now, LeBron's to take

16:46

the back seat and be a supporting

16:48

cast member to Luka. Does that

16:50

interest him? Is he going to want

16:53

to stay? Is he going to go

16:55

to Cleveland or whatever? Who knows?

16:57

Seems now he wants to stay.

16:59

He's probably excited to play

17:01

with Luka. We know he's a

17:03

big Luka fan. Apparently the Lakers have

17:05

no interest in trading him. Are

17:08

you guys excited to see LeBron

17:10

be the sidekick to Luka? for

17:12

LeBron's sake, I just think it's going

17:14

to be cool. Because like we said on

17:17

the emergency pod, since he got to LA,

17:19

like Magic Johnson's initial plan was we're

17:21

going to get a whole bunch

17:23

of playmakers around LeBron. We're not

17:25

going to play this like this

17:27

very heavy like LeBron center ball. We're

17:30

going to have everybody be able to

17:32

to create with the ball in their

17:34

hands. And then obviously that doesn't go.

17:36

And even when you had AD, the

17:39

plan was we're going to. give the

17:41

choice to AD eventually and he's gonna

17:43

be the like the clear cut number

17:45

one in that sense and then even

17:48

lately before they before they made this

17:50

trade you had AD Auster Reeves was

17:52

the one you know transitioning into a

17:55

point guard role being being the the

17:57

primary playmaker. You've always wanted

17:59

LeBron. to be able to finally

18:01

sit down at the end of a day and

18:03

just rest. And now he can finally,

18:05

you know, kind of do that in

18:08

a basketball sense and be the number

18:10

two and have Luca still play at

18:12

his level, play his kind of game

18:14

and LeBron be the ultimate role

18:16

player for for Luca. Yeah, it's about

18:19

time, right? Obviously, he's always on

18:21

playmakers. You can't, he got the

18:23

best one possible. And I know

18:25

those fit concerns. We'll get deeper

18:27

into the basketball, you know, on

18:29

fit, on court fit and now's

18:31

the side of it on Thursdays

18:33

trade episode of the main show.

18:35

We're gonna do grades for every

18:37

single trade. At that point, we'll get

18:39

really nitty gritty about the fit.

18:41

spoiler, I like it. I think it'll

18:43

be good. It'll be good. It'll be

18:46

good. It'll be good for Luca. It'll

18:48

be good for LeBron. All will be

18:50

well. It's just from a licrous

18:52

perspective, I respect fully. They're

18:54

going to be good. Center rotation be

18:57

damned. They're going to be good. Jackson

18:59

Hayes is going to look a lot

19:01

better, catching Lops and Luka. They're probably

19:03

going to make a trade for a

19:05

Dayron Sharp or Robert Williams or

19:07

somebody playable to be there with

19:09

him. The strengths of this team are

19:11

going to be outrageous. Luka is going

19:13

to be amazing. LeBron is going to

19:15

fit well with him next to him. I'm

19:18

sorry to say it to the haters out there,

19:20

but it's going to be a little bit deeper,

19:22

a little bit deeper into it. Next episode,

19:24

but it makes me feel like, ah,

19:27

damn, can this like possibly prolong LeBron's

19:29

NBA career? What do you want to

19:31

sit down and win a championship with

19:33

Luca? Like, there's no other guy in the

19:36

league right now who can put LeBron in

19:38

such position other than like fucking

19:40

yolkich? Yeah. All right. We'll talk about

19:42

this trade even more come Thursday or

19:44

come Friday for you guys when you

19:46

get the episode out. For now we

19:48

have another big trade. But before we

19:50

20:06

20:23

damn you Isaac, at this

20:25

point, the trade really tells

20:27

me. Damn you! He's a

20:29

Lakers fan. We'll never know

20:31

the struggle bus with the

20:33

rate of the miracles popping

20:35

up for them every 27

20:37

minutes. I don't know if you

20:39

understand this, but as a

20:41

Lakers fan, I am a person of

20:43

great distress. You are a

20:46

marginalized person. Stop it. Stop

20:48

it. You won a championship

20:50

four years ago. Before we

20:52

came on, Isaac was like, yeah,

20:54

man, I'm actually so glad that

20:56

this straight happened. I really wasn't

20:58

having fun watching the Lakers. We're

21:00

like, shut up, man. You got

21:02

a championship four years ago. You're

21:04

in the finals every single day.

21:06

Me more. Me more. I don't

21:08

want to hear any of this.

21:10

I mean, more legends. I don't

21:12

know if Johnson is out for

21:14

the season. He has no hope. I

21:16

don't care. One part of my NBA

21:19

life is better than yours.

21:21

Don't you understand? We're not

21:23

operating from equal

21:25

circumstances. I just get

21:27

to be better. That's how it

21:29

goes. He's panning for wins. I

21:32

don't, I just, I don't operate

21:34

from the, I don't operate

21:36

from the basis of equality

21:38

as an NBA viewer. It's

21:40

not going to happen. Shout

21:42

out to Louis the human

21:45

for tipping $20. He

21:47

said, what's up, boys,

21:49

y'all are the best.

21:51

Isaac, congrats on the

21:53

liquor is getting your

21:55

second favorite fatty, but

21:57

don't be too sad.

21:59

when he signs the Brooklyn Ned's

22:02

as an under-scripted free agent. All

22:04

right, man. I'll enjoy the fatty

22:06

water too. That's my guy. Shout

22:08

22:10

Shout to Josh, it's $2.2 and

22:12

22:15

$2.00. Shat the horse of Yama.

22:17

Let's talk about Victor Women

22:19

Yama. Let's talk about Victor

22:21

Women Yama's team. Let's talk

22:23

about the deer and Foxyar

22:25

and Foxx. It finally happened. We

22:27

were talking about this for weeks and weeks leading up. There

22:29

was a lot of rumors out there that Dier and Fox

22:32

become available. And when he does, there was a team in

22:34

mind he wanted. We all kind of thought it'd be a

22:36

Texas team. It was a matter of which one. Then it

22:38

came out, it's the Spurs. And who would have thought when a

22:40

clutch player wants to go to a team, he eventually

22:42

gets that got damn team. Dier and Fox is a member

22:44

of the Spurs. How are y' how are y' how feeling

22:46

about feeling about this deal about this deal about this

22:48

deal? Okay, I want

22:51

to save a couple of my thoughts on

22:53

the kings and the bulls. I'm going to

22:55

keep this kind of focus on the spurs.

22:57

Yeah, we'll talk about the trade at full

22:59

for 30s episode for sure. Yeah, yeah, we're

23:01

trying not to spoil a lot of stuff,

23:04

but on the spur side of it, shout

23:06

out to y'all. This is exactly what I

23:08

wanted them to do. You went out, you

23:10

struck while the iron was hot, you did

23:12

not wait. A lot of people, a lot of

23:14

people were saying. Oh, why don't you

23:17

just wait until either the summer? Why

23:19

don't you just wait like a year

23:21

and a half? Because Deering clearly wants

23:23

to play for you. You can, you can

23:25

just sign them then. The NBA moves

23:27

so fast, so quickly. Who knows what's

23:30

going to happen in two days, right?

23:32

Much less a year and a half,

23:34

six months. You have to, you have

23:36

to take every opportunity that is presented

23:38

to you. You do have to make that

23:40

trade, especially when you see Wendy ascending

23:43

to the levels that he is ascending.

23:45

So I'm very happy that they did

23:47

not sit on their hands. I'm very

23:49

happy that they did something that normally

23:52

they don't really do, right? The Spurs

23:54

aren't the very like transaction heavy trade

23:56

heavy type of team. But they said, it's

23:58

different now. We have one. to be in year

24:00

two, he's going to be an all NBA player. We have to

24:02

go start building this core. I'm happy they did that. Yeah, shout

24:04

out then, man. I was saying they shouldn't have been a

24:06

rush to do it. I'm okay if they wait. But I also was very

24:08

okay if they wait. But I also was very okay if they just

24:10

got Deere and Fox. But it all depends on what they just got

24:12

Deere and Fox. But it all depends on what they gave up. I

24:15

think. They shouldn't have been a rush to rush to do. I'm a

24:17

rush to do. I'm okay if. I'm okay if I'm okay if they

24:19

wait. I'm okay if they wait. I'm okay if they wait. I'm okay

24:21

if they wait. I'm okay if they wait. I'm okay if they wait. I'm

24:23

okay if they wait. I'm okay if they just. I'm okay if they just.

24:25

I'm okay if they just. I'm okay if they just. I'm okay if they

24:27

just Any players, NBA careers, let

24:29

alone Victor Wamiyama when he's

24:31

on a rookie contract? They got this

24:34

man without giving up a single player

24:36

that matters or a single elite draft

24:38

pick they have. They kept all those

24:40

valuable Hawks picks for that terrible last

24:43

team who they control the future of,

24:45

and they kept their next team who

24:47

they control the future of, and they

24:49

kept their next couple of things, and

24:52

a 2031 Minnesota pick, and a 2031

24:54

Minnesota pick, and a pick, that's

24:56

just... like highway robbery you have nothing

24:58

of importance for a really good player

25:00

dude it's amazing yeah heavy on Vassal

25:02

and Castle bro like there was so

25:04

much discourse online between all types

25:06

of fans across the league whether

25:08

or not Stefan Castle should be that

25:11

should be a moving piece some people

25:13

are like oh like yeah it doesn't

25:15

really matter another group like your defense

25:17

of versatility and all that once a

25:19

shotgun is a perfect picture perfect piece

25:22

like to have and retain all that

25:24

and to retain the spacing heavy on

25:26

spacing that them of a cell provides

25:28

because he's one of their best two-point

25:30

shoes, one of the best two-point shoes

25:32

on that starting lineup. Like that is

25:34

so amazing for this team. And now

25:37

I'm going to be so interested in

25:39

seeing how they operate with Chris Paul

25:41

coming off the bench now and being

25:43

like one of the, you know, better

25:45

okay starting point guards coming off the

25:47

bench, the outward of Trey Jones amazing

25:49

stuff. And this team got deeper added

25:51

so much juice like a cancer. Like

25:54

he's the problem. Oh geez he's just

25:56

like amazing stuff get him out

25:58

of here with your not Good

26:00

around Victor Rama, that's an issue, bro.

26:02

No, you're right. It's a very, very

26:04

nice advantage to have to have Chris

26:06

Paul running your bench unit. He fits

26:09

incredibly well with Wendy. So Fox is

26:11

a good but not perfect fit, especially

26:13

as a passer. But obviously the strengths

26:15

of Fox, the scoring and everything, are

26:17

so good. And you can hope that

26:19

over time, some of the weaknesses he

26:21

has are kind of. Strengthened by

26:24

Wendy's presence with the five-house basing

26:26

he brings with the crazy lobster

26:28

he is everything that he does to make

26:30

people better You kind of hope that

26:32

Fox's Tendencies kind of meet in the

26:35

middle and you get something perfect But

26:37

while that's developing you have Chris Paul

26:39

doing every single thing when he needs

26:41

feeding on the ball coming off the bench

26:43

when Fox isn't playing Maybe they play a

26:45

little bit together it's just a really nice

26:48

fit now for like a transition year

26:50

where you have castle still and you

26:52

have all those hawkspicks still in

26:54

your own picks, you can do another

26:56

big trade too. So it's just a

26:58

really great spot to be for the

27:00

second half the season. That's why

27:02

and that's why I was very very like

27:05

set on no they have to make a

27:07

move right now because like you know you

27:09

know it takes time to to build chemistry

27:11

and then you also know the fact

27:14

that like like like you said it's

27:16

not a 100% perfect match right and

27:18

like to be honest finally 100% perfect

27:20

matches. are very very hard. So you are

27:23

often going to need time to mess

27:25

and Joe. So that's why I thought

27:27

that like they needed this runway. And

27:29

depending on what happens at this

27:31

at this deadline, now that you have

27:34

the air in there and you fleeced, like

27:36

I do expect I do expect the

27:38

spurs to make the run and for

27:40

them to get into playing. And if

27:42

you can get everybody on that roster,

27:45

some some experience in terms of games

27:47

that matter. and you can get and

27:49

you can get dear and Fox back

27:51

into that zone as well like that's

27:53

perfect going into next year not only

27:56

for them but also for like their

27:58

coaching their coaching staff because you obviously

28:00

don't don't necessarily know what the coaching

28:02

situation is going to be like next

28:04

year. So you do want to get

28:06

your your coaching staff some experience in

28:08

high leverage moments. I think it's it's

28:10

a win win for everybody in San

28:12

Antonio. Yeah, yeah, I 100% agree. And

28:14

I think right now. the playoffs basically

28:16

start for the second for the San

28:18

Antonio Spurs like every single game matters

28:20

they're about like five or six games

28:22

I think away from being in the

28:24

play in and obviously we see this

28:26

the Sacramento Kings are there they got

28:28

a little bit worse or sizable worse

28:30

I guess and they're easily going to

28:32

be falling off and who knows what

28:34

else is going to happen during the

28:36

trade deadline this team should be able

28:38

to make a run. easily into the

28:40

plan and you're right like getting the

28:42

experience and like seeing what Devon Vassale

28:44

and how Stefan Castle is able to

28:47

like progress alongside this new new piece

28:49

of the Aaron Fox and Wendy would

28:51

be so important. The spacing is a

28:53

little bit scary. That's a little bit

28:55

scary because it's so in and then

28:57

you know, Stefan Castle is going to

28:59

play a big part as well and

29:01

Darren Fox isn't anything like just a

29:03

shooter. So A lot of information will

29:05

be downloaded and I think this is

29:07

the perfect time to do so. Yeah,

29:09

I think Castle's the bench though, it'll

29:11

be fine. I seen there was a

29:13

horrific ass. You guys saw the horrific

29:15

ass starting lineup graphic that ESVM put

29:17

out for engagement bait? Oh yeah. It

29:19

was Chris Paul, Fox, Castle, Vasselle, and

29:21

Wendy. Like shut the fuck up, you

29:23

know, it's not going to happen. What

29:25

the hell? I didn't even see, that's

29:27

hilarious. which is that's a that's a

29:29

nice they have some good wings on

29:31

the bench too in champagne and Brandon

29:33

like they have some pieces that's a

29:35

decent little team like that's a playing

29:37

team they should make that run like

29:39

you're saying yeah there's three games out

29:41

of the 10 seed right now two

29:43

games back of the Warriors and the

29:45

Sons in the law column so like

29:47

there's a there's a listen depending on

29:49

what moves or what moves or I

29:51

guess like not moves that the Warriors

29:53

make at the deadline. San Antonio can

29:55

pass them. Phoenix, we expect them to

29:57

blow it up or to make some

29:59

moves. But also, they're just not really

30:01

good. So San Antonio can also pass

30:03

in. And then we'll see what Minnesota

30:05

and what Dallas do and if they

30:07

can hang on throughout the rest of

30:10

the year. But yeah, there's a run

30:12

now for San Antonio to get there.

30:14

and you know the West Plain just

30:16

because of how stacked it's always been

30:18

the last couple years it's been really

30:20

really good and you've had a lot

30:22

of these stars you're you're gonna get

30:24

some matchups in there where it's gonna

30:26

be really really interesting where you're gonna

30:28

have like Wendy potentially Steph Duran all

30:30

these all these guys the West Plain

30:32

is gonna be really fun yeah and

30:34

as far as early teams they deal

30:36

like I said we're gonna talk about

30:38

them at length on Thursday's episode where

30:40

we're gonna trade every single trade that

30:42

happens in the deadline So we'll get

30:44

into minutiae there, but overall, the Kings

30:46

did a Kings thing, right? They decided

30:48

they want to continue to try to

30:50

be good around this court and try

30:52

to roughly say the same. Get exact

30:54

Levine in there for the Air and

30:56

Fox, probably keeps you roughly the same.

30:58

There's pros and cons of both players.

31:00

Levine is a great fit there in

31:02

terms of like his play style. But

31:04

in terms of what the team needs

31:06

to get really good, Levine doesn't change

31:08

that. So if you thought the Kings

31:10

look good the past couple weeks, the

31:12

past couple weeks, the past couple weeks,

31:14

the past couple weeks, the past couple

31:16

weeks, the past couple weeks, the past

31:18

couple weeks, the past couple weeks, the

31:20

past couple weeks, the past couple weeks,

31:22

the past couple weeks, the past couple

31:24

weeks, playing through him and really letting

31:26

that thrive. Zachavino fit just perfectly into

31:28

that. So whatever your goal is to

31:30

the Kings, if you want to stay

31:33

the same, you stay the same. Good

31:35

job. We got a shot on Mo

31:37

too, because most, for the last year

31:39

and a half, most been calling Zachavine

31:41

to the Kings. And he finally got

31:43

that. Yeah, you want to see Fox

31:45

and Levine play together? Yeah. I knew

31:47

they were meant to be something because

31:49

like the Sacramento Kings and Bull's front

31:51

office just think alike. And it was

31:53

so damning. They were both involved in

31:55

the trade too, yeah. Yeah, I knew

31:57

it was going to happen. Not necessarily

31:59

what I was aiming. but I mean

32:01

I'm gonna take the win. You weren't

32:03

like yes. You weren't wrong so that's

32:05

all that matters. Yeah exactly. Below Key

32:07

again we'll talk specifically I like to

32:09

fit a lot of Malique Monk and

32:11

Levine next to Sabonis that makes a

32:14

lot of sense for bonus that makes

32:16

a lot of sense for basketball reasons.

32:18

I just wish Damar to Rosen

32:20

wasn't there. I wish that Levine

32:22

didn't have to go back to

32:24

wearing those handcuffs of playing next

32:27

to Rosen. He was so good this year

32:29

free. Kind of sucks for you.

32:31

He's going it's kind of worse now too

32:33

because he's now he's I mean I guess

32:35

Nicole Vousavich at least back in the martyr

32:37

was like masquerading as a as a

32:39

spacer The bonus bonus bonus bonus is

32:41

just like bonus you like 47% from

32:44

three this year. Obviously I'm very low

32:46

with very little spacing respect, but he's

32:48

shooting him Yeah, he is like on three toster

32:50

game. They'll be like okay like maybe we've

32:52

never talked but also his passing hub

32:54

is stuff like the way he sets screens

32:57

it does handoffs he does generate some spacing

32:59

with that like you can't really leave him

33:01

that is very true or those he gets

33:03

in the handoff game so I think we'll

33:05

get a very great version of Levine especially

33:08

in minutes without demar I would like it

33:10

a lot if the demar thing never happened

33:12

and it was Keegan Murray as the third

33:14

scoring wing next to Malik Monk and Levine

33:16

that would move me a lot man yeah we

33:19

talked more about it on the bulls are just

33:21

being the bulls they traded their best player who's

33:23

in a great year who rehabbed his

33:25

PR, they traded him for essentially

33:28

nothing but a bunch of worth

33:30

his contracts, complete utter ridiculous asset

33:32

management, they continue to suck

33:34

in every way, but that's the bulls prerogative.

33:37

So if in the same way the kings

33:39

want to be the kings, the bulls want

33:41

to be the bulls, both accomplish their goal

33:44

here of doing something completely lateral.

33:46

Yeah. It's hilarious. Well again,

33:48

we'll talk about that deeper. I hate

33:50

the bulls for an office on my fucking

33:52

heart. Trade rumors now, things that might keep

33:54

happening after these two big moves, the rest

33:56

of the landscape around these two, it's moving. We're

33:59

getting some action. And I think the main

34:01

thing right now to watch is the Golden

34:03

State Warriors. After weeks of clearly them having

34:05

zero urgency to do anything. In fact,

34:07

I think they had all the urgency

34:09

in the world to do nothing. They had Steve

34:11

Kerr and Steve Curry out there, fucking towing

34:14

the company line, saying all the stuff for

34:16

Joe Lego. We don't want to make moves.

34:18

We don't want to mortgage the future. We're

34:20

happy where we are. We'll get it out

34:22

the mud. All this stuff. That seems to

34:24

have completely reversed itself, since they saw

34:26

the Lakers go on get Lukadonchitch. We

34:28

were getting reports left and right that

34:31

they are contacting every single star they

34:33

can possibly get on the phone, trying

34:35

to make something happen. They look desperate as

34:37

hell right now. Do you guys think they're

34:39

going to get somebody? Down bad. This

34:41

is a horrendous look, bro. You guys think

34:43

they actually didn't get somebody? Because Sean's literally

34:46

said verbatimatum. They have checked in with every

34:48

all-star player in the league star player in

34:50

the league. somewhat realistically available, but he said

34:52

they checked it on Palomankero and Lamont and

34:55

the metal ball. Please, anybody, we just can't

34:57

do it anymore. That's hilarious, right? And obviously

34:59

on top of that, those names, the biggest

35:01

thing is they're checking in on Kevin to

35:04

rant, trying to make that happen. And there's

35:06

a lot of smoke there, for maybe if

35:08

the sons don't pull off a Jimmy trade,

35:10

maybe they'll go the other way. I don't know if

35:12

there's fire, but there's fire, but there's a

35:15

lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of smoke. And

35:18

that's the top of smoke that I

35:20

want to gravitate towards to be honest

35:22

with you because that would be so

35:24

fun to see Although like things are

35:27

a little bit. Yeah, it will be

35:29

so fun like things are different.

35:31

They don't have claim work so

35:33

fun stuff kind of fun though It'll

35:35

be so fun seeing and trying to

35:38

get the band back together and now

35:40

everybody is like 60 and yeah and

35:42

like and like you have arthritis so

35:44

you can't play the drums the same

35:46

And like your voice is different because

35:48

you've been smoking cigarettes for the last

35:50

30 years. Yeah, and it just doesn't

35:52

sound the same. Like, you know what

35:54

I'm saying? Like, they used to come

35:56

out here and like massy suits and,

35:58

you know, do choreography. and now everybody's

36:00

just sitting now. I don't know how

36:03

fun it would be as soon as you

36:05

see Steve and Katie together and you have

36:07

the whole, you have the Olympics

36:09

part of it where yes, they got

36:12

together, they won the gold medal and

36:14

everything looked so fun and everybody

36:16

was so happy playing with each other.

36:18

What happens when you lose three games in

36:21

a row and you're like, dang, these are

36:23

just, these boys just old now. Yeah, like

36:25

I want to see it too. I don't

36:27

want to see Steve go out. And Kevin

36:30

Durant is a great lifeline. But that

36:32

trait will require Andrew Wiggins

36:34

for money. Clear first and

36:36

foremost. It would probably require

36:38

Camingga because it's Kevin fucking

36:41

Durant. We're gonna get your best

36:43

asset and that's John the Camingga.

36:45

Obviously, picture whatever. Then more

36:48

salary on top of that. Does a

36:50

salary on top of that? Does a team

36:52

that's Steve Curry, I guess they would have

36:54

Moses Moody to start the shooting

36:56

guard? Because I'd be decent fit.

36:58

It might be kind of, it feels

37:01

disorienting to see Kevin Durant and

37:03

Steph play together and then not

37:05

be the best team. Like that would

37:07

be kind of sad. Yeah, most definitely.

37:09

I think the whole goal of this

37:11

trade in them, like checking with every

37:13

all-stars, it's like, you know, we all

37:16

know that there's nothing that they can do

37:18

at this point in time to be

37:20

one of the top two, three teams

37:22

or maybe four teams in the league.

37:24

Like that ship is clearly sailed. But

37:26

can you have at least like... false

37:28

hope because right now they can't even

37:30

give me any of those things. But

37:32

if I've come to rent on my team,

37:34

give me two top, I don't know, 12,

37:36

13, however you view like two top players

37:39

in the league alongside like Dramon

37:41

Green who's still all NBA

37:43

level defender, that gives them a

37:46

real opportunity to at least sell me

37:48

hope. And that's all I need at the

37:50

end of the day. Yeah, I would like

37:52

that more than nothing. It's funny though, we

37:54

just talk more about the every star trade,

37:56

because if they're desperate, apparently we got

37:58

to report here from this. guy that's a

38:01

local Philadelphia journalist or some

38:03

sort, I think it's a radio show from

38:05

the looks of his profile picture.

38:07

Golden State has called the six

38:09

years about Paul George. Oh, is said, Mike's

38:11

is per shams. Okay. What the fuck? Has

38:13

anybody watched Paul George? Have they

38:16

been aware of how the year has gone? I

38:18

know they wanted Paul George. Have they been aware

38:20

of how the year has gone? I know they

38:22

want to Paul George in the year has gone.

38:24

I know they want to Paul George in the

38:27

summer. Fair. I understand why they want him

38:29

at the time. We're all under the

38:31

assumption he would be, you know, still a

38:33

good, like, maybe not quite all sort

38:35

of level, but like, some version

38:37

of what we got last year, he's been

38:39

terrible this year. He's really injured,

38:42

really old, and it hasn't looked

38:44

pretty. If they, dude, I follow a lot

38:46

of Warriors fans. I am quite in touch

38:48

with the psyche of the Warriors fans, and

38:51

they're on, they're on the edge right now.

38:53

They can go either way. If they're

38:55

all in movies trading comminga

38:57

for Paul George, oh my god, that

39:00

would be awful. That would be horrendous.

39:02

Yeah, Paul. You'd have to fire up

39:04

the lifeline immediately. Like hire some extra

39:06

time, pay people, you know, time and

39:08

a half, like the lines have to

39:11

be open. Paul George has been better

39:13

over the last like 10 games

39:15

that he's played. What does better look

39:17

like? I haven't seen this last 10

39:20

averages. What does better mean? Like

39:22

shooting 44% from the three point line

39:24

and 47% from the field but wasn't that

39:26

too like definitely a lot better Yeah, yeah

39:28

a lot better averaging 20 as well,

39:30

but good. You know, he's he's been out

39:33

the last four games Yeah, he's not gonna

39:35

be still not 100% the same Paul Doris

39:37

So even though he's like been more efficient

39:39

the shit like if you're not gonna be

39:42

there consisting like I need you to be

39:44

then what's the fucking point again? And that's

39:46

why I tell that's why I tap back

39:48

back back back into the Paul Jordan at

39:50

least gave you hope the idea of like

39:52

maybe we can do something special. Yeah. It's

39:54

also interesting that Winhorse reported

39:56

earlier, everything's on the table

39:58

for helping Steph Curry. and he

40:01

says everything means Dramon

40:03

Green is on the

40:05

table. I don't know

40:07

if that's just conjecture,

40:10

I don't know how serious

40:12

that is, I don't think

40:14

Winhorse talks about

40:17

his ass in this type

40:19

of thing, usually. What

40:21

deal would make sense

40:23

to get rid of

40:25

Dramon? Can do that.

40:27

That sounds scary. There's

40:30

you can't trade him now. I think they want

40:32

yeah. This he says this at the same time as

40:34

the Kevin Durant smoke is in the air.

40:36

Maybe maybe they have concerns about pairing

40:38

kd with Dramond up again. I'm

40:40

sure they're professionals, but I'm sure that's

40:42

you know, that's an element of some sort.

40:44

Is there a world where it makes sense

40:46

to trade him as a main salary

40:48

and keep Andrew Wiggins and go for

40:51

more wing-centric look around him without Dramon?

40:53

So you have Wiggins comminga and

40:55

Kevin and Kevin Durant? I don't. I don't

40:57

I don't think so. I don't think so.

40:59

because I think I think you throw off

41:01

you you throw out a decade of

41:04

chemistry whenever you do that

41:06

and like you are you are

41:08

already going to be rearranging your

41:11

team bringing in KD and you know

41:13

reaclimating everybody and

41:16

whatever all that stuff

41:18

having as many familiar faces

41:20

as possible is very

41:22

very helpful and having

41:24

also an act like a good

41:27

good defender. on your on your

41:29

team still matters. So I think you

41:31

have to have dream on on this

41:33

team. My cat is scratching her forehead

41:35

on my mic arm right now. Rub

41:37

him against. If there's noise because of

41:39

that, y'all that's cost of doing business.

41:42

Yeah, I don't think the this team

41:44

would that trade sounds like so fun

41:46

to think of. And it'll be just

41:48

like for non-box basketball reasons. The absolute

41:50

most hilarious shit ever. But for basketball

41:52

reasons. I'm thinking like. you just going

41:55

back to don't mean you throw away

41:57

too much of what that war is

41:59

at any is the way half, like the lore

42:01

of this team, the identity of this

42:03

team, and this is just not worth

42:06

entertaining whatsoever if you have to get

42:08

rid of them on. Yeah, let's prioritize

42:10

the lore, let's do it. Let's do

42:12

it. Let's, let's, lower Max and the

42:15

Golden State franchise. At this point in

42:17

time, yeah, that's so important. What else

42:19

is important? Winning? Clearly not. Yeah, okay,

42:21

so we'll see if the Warriors do

42:23

anything outside of the Warriors. If there

42:25

is Kevin and smoke and Kevin, Where

42:28

else would you guys want to see

42:30

him realistly go at this point of

42:32

free? I mean, at this point in

42:34

the deadline. Let's talk about the biggest

42:37

dummy right now, which is Nico Harrison.

42:39

I a hundred and ten percent

42:41

believe that he probably isn't

42:43

done making moves. And he would

42:45

definitely tap in for someone like

42:48

Kevin Durant be back in his

42:50

2012 mindset. They'll go for sure

42:52

be out of there but just

42:54

think about the trio of like,

42:57

we're trying to leave, which that's

42:59

a fucking really nice. Can they

43:01

knock? No, certainly not. You named

43:03

everybody good on the team. There

43:06

are glad we'll be gone immediately.

43:08

Yeah, they're going. You didn't name

43:10

was Clay Thompson. Gone for salary

43:13

reasons. Yeah, he'll for sure be

43:15

out of there, but just think

43:17

about the trio of like A. I'm not

43:19

sure how the salary. would work right now,

43:21

but if it is workable, that's 110% and

43:24

something like that would do. And I wouldn't

43:26

hate that, I don't know, I mean I like

43:28

their current wing depth, but they don't have the

43:30

star power to win a championship right now, it's

43:32

part of why the move is so fucking ridiculous.

43:34

Kiree and Katie back together, I wouldn't hate

43:37

it. It didn't work out for all the

43:39

reasons it didn't work out, but the basketball

43:41

fit was never a question. I think Anthony

43:43

Davis with those two. That would be dope

43:45

as fuck. Like sure you lose PJ

43:48

Washington, you lose all your death, you

43:50

lose Clay Thompson, you probably lose Derek

43:52

Lively, he was your future. Who gives

43:54

a shit? Lucas, we can do whatever

43:57

we want. It's like nothing matters at

43:59

this point. Yeah. Obviously the Grizzlies

44:01

are something we've talked about as

44:03

we really want for Kevin to

44:05

rant. Nothing linked to that yet.

44:07

I only remember I've seen is

44:09

really Warriors focused, but maybe that

44:12

would change if there was

44:14

indication of the rest of the league that

44:16

Katie's available. That's true. I've

44:18

kind of been getting a little bit

44:21

more on board with KD to the

44:23

rockets and we just complete this trio

44:25

of Texas teams, you know, taking a

44:27

leap, taking a step. because the more

44:30

and more I watch the the rockets

44:32

play the and obviously some

44:34

of it is like confirmation bias

44:36

and obviously I'm like trying to

44:38

be right but I do think that there

44:40

is a very a very real thing with

44:43

them not having a go-to score in

44:45

the playoffs. Just say Jay then you

44:47

can ask again just say it no

44:49

no it's it's it's a lot of

44:51

people but it's even green and bad

44:53

after that good stretch it's okay. It's

44:56

okay. I know what you want to get

44:58

it's okay. I know you, it's okay.

45:00

If you can put Kevin to write

45:02

on that team, I feel really,

45:04

really good about the rockets

45:06

at that point. Because everything

45:09

that they do, like from

45:11

everywhere else on the court, I

45:13

love, like I love, I love the

45:15

way that they play basketball, I

45:17

love, I love the way that

45:20

they compete and getting just a

45:22

straight killer in KD would solve

45:24

their main issue and not love

45:27

it. Now Chris Manix did report today, and again I'm saying

45:29

Chris Manix, that's not exactly a source per se. He reported

45:31

from his, whatever, that the rockets aren't interested in trades

45:33

involving young players unless if you're deaf and Booker, that's just

45:35

like common sense, so that's a pretty safe report to put out there.

45:37

Like I think you'll probably be right if you throw it out there.

45:39

I don't know if they get rid of like, they certainly wouldn't get rid of

45:41

a man. I don't even know if they get rid of Tar recent,

45:43

it, it, it, it, it, it's hard, it, it's hard, it's hard, it's

45:45

hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard,

45:47

it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's

45:50

hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's hard, it's

45:52

hard, And I don't know if there's a

45:54

way to make that deal happen without giving

45:56

up something of interest Kevin Grant is still

45:58

good enough that if those sons side they

46:00

want to blow it up they're not

46:02

getting rid of Kevin Durant like

46:04

for scraps or salary like it's

46:06

gonna be a hall again still. Which

46:09

is crazy because like he's two three

46:11

years older than what he was whenever

46:13

you got him like at some point

46:15

we have to draw the line and

46:17

you just can't like I can't give

46:19

you three first-arm picks and the pig

46:22

swap and two two players trading for

46:24

for KD every single time. They're in

46:26

the chat right now saying mode looks

46:28

asleep is more okay. No, I look

46:31

sick. Well, I kind of am sick

46:33

a little bit. They said you'll think

46:35

you're asleep. Maybe I am. Please

46:37

tell me this is a whole fucking

46:39

dream. I hope I'm asleep, bro. Please

46:42

tell you fucking Luke is not a

46:44

leaker. I hope I am. I got some bad

46:46

news for you. Welcome to reality.

46:48

Oh, I thought you're actually gonna

46:50

break some like... insane news. I

46:53

thought something was happening. I wasn't

46:55

actually scary as fuck. It's just

46:57

real. Imagine I'm like, yeah, the

47:00

Lakers got Nick Laxin for a

47:02

second round pick. Listen, you've been

47:04

trying to, you've been saying that a

47:06

lot all day. I need you to relax

47:09

on that. Yeah, I mean, it'll take more

47:11

than a second round pick. All right, let's

47:13

talk about the other big stars in

47:15

the news who has been the news

47:17

for quite some time. It's getting quite

47:19

tiring actually. Turned down several

47:22

trades that could have happened

47:24

to contenders because he didn't

47:26

want to go there because they

47:28

wouldn't sign him We know one of

47:30

them is Memphis Grizzlies. It seemed like

47:32

one of them was a worries I

47:34

Thought this was very admirable in the

47:36

beginning. I was fully not I thought

47:38

this was very admirable in the beginning.

47:41

I was fully not admirable in the

47:43

beginning. I was fully not admirable. What's

47:45

wrong word? I thought this was very

47:47

admirable in the beginning. I was fully

47:49

bad Since then, he's made it very

47:51

clear he will play for exactly one

47:53

other team and that is the Phoenix

47:55

Suns. He's making it a mission to

47:58

tear down every other possible trade. So

48:00

now, Mike, what the fuck

48:02

do you want? Because if

48:04

they can't save you, because

48:07

Bradley Bill doesn't want to

48:09

leave, what's next? Do you

48:11

want to go back to

48:13

Miami? Like, what's the goal

48:15

here, James? Yeah. Indecisive, bro.

48:18

What the hell's going on

48:20

here? That's pretty much what

48:22

it was looking like. And

48:24

like, you can kind of

48:26

feel the fact that like,

48:29

he just. through everything in the room

48:31

down he just tore the room up

48:33

the room up and now he's walking

48:35

back in and he's like hey everybody

48:37

like I'm back like my bad I

48:39

was wilding you know but hey we're

48:41

still good I just I don't I

48:43

don't think the Phoenix makes to move

48:45

for for Jimmy Butler because again

48:47

if you're Bradley Bill you're

48:49

like why why would I do that I'm still

48:51

getting my money and I don't have to

48:54

move I don't want to do that I

48:56

don't want to do that I don't you

48:58

feel like I I also feel like

49:00

they're clearly in talks of sons.

49:02

I don't think they would be

49:05

entertaining this. I think we would hear

49:07

it from a very clear report

49:09

that it can't happen because

49:11

Bradley Beale said no. Like I

49:13

feel like there has to be some idea

49:16

that he's open to it.

49:18

Otherwise these talks wouldn't be happening.

49:20

Like I feel like there has to

49:23

be some idea that he's open to

49:25

it. Otherwise these talks wouldn't

49:27

be happening. Listen, people,

49:29

people, obviously it's not my,

49:31

I'm not gonna sit up here and act

49:34

like that. People speak pretty highly

49:36

about Phoenix. They say that Phoenix

49:38

is low-key kind of, kind of

49:40

lit. And it's like, you've been a

49:42

penis before? And it's like, it's like,

49:45

I have, I've been in Phoenix. So yeah,

49:47

I was more so shitting on the sons.

49:49

And I was more so shitting on the

49:51

sons and like the terrible basketball

49:53

situation, like, like, I don't know,

49:56

I'm sure. The real human element of

49:58

it probably but I don't know if it's even

50:00

singling like they don't fucking

50:02

want me at all I I I bet send

50:04

me to the cooler place yeah I just

50:06

it's kind of like a loose loose

50:09

because the heat are also mid and

50:11

so you're like I like if I'm if

50:13

I'm Bradley Bill at this point in

50:15

my career I've played for the wizard

50:17

to majority of my career and I

50:19

got my money there I came to

50:22

Phoenix because I thought we were going

50:24

to be better. We got swept in

50:26

the playoffs last year. We stuck this

50:28

year. I'm not going to another, unless

50:30

you are sending me to a top

50:32

notch contender. I'm not going. So

50:35

that's why like if I was Bradley

50:37

Beale, the only place that I could

50:39

see in terms of teams that have been

50:41

in this mix, I'm going to the

50:43

Milwaukee Bucks and that's probably it.

50:45

But I'm not going to go to

50:48

another team that is like fourth or

50:50

fifth. in the standings and we're going to have to have an

50:52

uphill climb. We're not going to have home court events in the

50:54

first round. I want to go on to a team that I

50:56

know is going to be good. I'd kind of like Bradley Bill

50:58

on the heat. I don't have a heat are that far away.

51:00

Like, he are that far away. Like, Tyler hero is that far

51:02

away. Like, Tyler, he are that far away. Like, Tyler, Hee, are that

51:04

far away. Like, Tyler, Hee, he are that he are that far away. Hee

51:06

are that he are that he are that far away. Hee are that he

51:08

are that he are that he are that he are that he are that far

51:10

away. Hee are that he are that he are that he are that he are

51:13

that he are that he are that he are that he are that he are

51:15

that he are that he are that he are that he are that he are

51:17

that he are that he are that he are that he are that he are

51:19

that he are that he are That's not a terrible fit.

51:21

You said the heat are mid. They are compared

51:23

to the calves and the Celtics and stuff But

51:25

if I'm Bradley Biel, I feel like that's a

51:27

good fit for me I feel like I can

51:29

get my shit off there and help them be a

51:32

better team The minor heat are 24 and 23.

51:34

They are the definition of mid. Like that I

51:36

didn't say they weren't. I said it's mid that

51:38

would be appealing to me if I'm Bradley Biel

51:40

like that's not terrible mid. The sons are mid

51:43

and they have and they have no terrible mid

51:45

and they have no They have like, they're mid,

51:47

because they also haven't had Jimmy Butler all

51:49

year. When he has been there, he's been

51:51

not trying, he's been terrible. Like, they have

51:53

hope of some sort. They have some upward trajectory

51:55

that you can put your faith into. The sons

51:57

just don't have it. Yes, but you need... You

52:00

need to be mid plus at best.

52:02

And I don't think that the heat

52:04

right now are mid plus. I think

52:06

you have to be you have to

52:08

be mid plus or on the borderline

52:10

of being like contender status.

52:12

And like most said, like the heat

52:14

are kind of far away from being

52:17

in that like upper echelon into

52:19

a space where you actually think

52:21

that they're that they can do

52:23

something again. These. The runs to the

52:26

finals from the 8th seed and the

52:28

7th seed and all that those those

52:30

days are not happening this year That's

52:32

not going down that so that's

52:34

why for me like looking at

52:36

the landscape. I don't see Bradley

52:39

going anywhere someone checked someone told

52:41

me calm down Someone told me

52:43

to check Mark Stein's Twitter. I

52:45

just checked the sons have

52:47

downgraded Kevin Durant to

52:49

doubtful for Wednesday's game

52:52

against Oklahoma City as

52:54

trade speculation continues

52:56

to swirl around the future Hall

52:58

of Fame. This guy's getting moved.

53:01

They put him doubtful with a

53:03

left ankle sprain. Cap. His ankle's

53:05

fucking fine. I watched him last

53:08

night, he was fine. He was

53:10

hooping, he's okay. I don't know where

53:12

it's gonna be, but like I said

53:15

earlier, there's a lot of smoke.

53:17

Too much smoke to not be at least a little

53:19

ember. There's at least a start of a

53:21

fire here. I don't know. You're saying KD

53:23

to the to the Kings. Listen, man. Someone

53:25

said, Isaac, check the athletics new report on

53:27

Kevin Durant. Well, the athletic post, let me

53:30

go check. Should I check the athletic official

53:32

Twitter? Yeah, why you're taking with the athletic?

53:34

No, Mark Stein is not with the athletic.

53:36

You said what? He asked that's the same

53:38

thing. I said no, Mark Stein, Mark Stein,

53:40

not with the athletic, not with the athletic,

53:42

not with the athletic. Oh,

53:44

well, this is quite ironic. For

53:47

the athletic, the Mavericks have dreams

53:49

of adding Kevin to rant to the

53:51

duo of Anthony Davis and Carrier League

53:53

sources to every athletic. While a deer,

53:56

while a deal, whoa, I can't talk,

53:58

while a deal appears on. to happen,

54:00

the mere idea sheds a new light

54:02

on the thinking of GM Niko Harrison.

54:05

Oh, okay, so this means nothing. This

54:07

is saying he thinks it'd be cool,

54:09

but it's not going to happen. Yeah.

54:11

Okay, so I wrote down a fake trade.

54:13

I ran it through fans boat. Of

54:16

course, the Phoenix Suns are a second

54:18

April team, so it's like really, really

54:20

hard to do so, but there are

54:22

plenty of loopholes. And they can invite

54:25

plenty of other teams to throw them,

54:27

like a second, no matter what. So

54:29

I wrote down, okay, throwing Clay

54:31

Thompson, P. Day Watson, Daniel

54:34

Gafford, Max Christie, I believe

54:36

there's like a $700,000 difference

54:38

within that. Give that cash to

54:41

another team or whatever the case

54:43

may be, work that shit out

54:45

in exchange for one singular

54:47

Kevin Durant, and boom, that's

54:50

how this trade happens. And

54:52

then you're left with a

54:54

squad of Kairi, A-D, and K-D. And

54:56

there's pretty much nothing else after that.

54:58

Great. Lovely. Okay, a new one. This

55:00

is for NBA Central. I guess this

55:02

was deeper in the athletic article that

55:04

I didn't get to read because I

55:06

didn't click it. A three teen trade

55:09

involving the Warriors Heat and Sons, sending

55:11

Andrew Wings to the Heat and Jimmy

55:13

Butler to the Sons, has been discussed.

55:15

The further quote is, both the Warriors

55:17

and Sons have cluttered salary structures, but

55:20

both ownership groups have shown a willingness

55:22

to pay up for players they desire.

55:24

If the Warriors also have a potential path

55:26

to help guide Butler to Phoenix, if

55:28

they will pull the trigger on Andrew

55:30

Wiggin's Central trade with Miami, that

55:32

has been discussed. Now, this isn't saying

55:34

anything about KD, but is this, is this

55:36

assuming Kevin Duranco to the, to the

55:39

Warriors? I guess it has to be, right?

55:41

Yeah, like, Katie's actually going to get moved

55:43

if they're not going to be able to

55:45

like land anybody. Hey, Kevin Kevin to run

55:47

home, man. Dremo Green is the player that

55:49

the player that the player that the sons

55:51

would come. I just

55:53

don't believe that for an officer. So that's it. That

55:55

gets back to what I was talking about, where if you

55:58

can get Kevin to ramp for Dream on Green. and

56:00

keep comminga and keep. And you can,

56:02

if you convince Matt Ispie and James

56:04

Jones that they're better off blowing

56:07

it up and pairing Devin Booker and

56:09

Bradley Biel with Dreymont Green,

56:11

is that, are you better off? That's

56:13

the role wise? That makes more sense

56:15

because the fit is seamless, but I

56:17

just don't think the Warriors and would

56:19

ever entertain that, like giving up Drey

56:21

Montrey. Are you sure? Yes, I don't

56:23

think about it. I would not

56:26

do that if I was a Warriors.

56:28

Also the word COVID is crazy. Why

56:30

are you coveting Jim on Green for

56:32

the sons? Yeah, yeah, I just couldn't

56:34

do it. That just defeats the

56:36

entire purpose of wanting KD in

56:38

my mind. Like cool, I get like

56:40

top seven or eight player in the

56:43

world. Obviously, it's amazing. but we just

56:45

lost the back one of our defense

56:47

and someone who like is a major

56:49

integral part to the step offense that

56:52

we've been reading. This athletic article is

56:54

huge. This athletic article also said the

56:56

Houston Rockets could show interest in

56:58

Kevin Durant. That is very unprecise

57:01

language. Anybody could show interest.

57:03

So I'm guessing this is like

57:05

nothing substantive like they're not pursuing

57:07

or anything. But yeah, they probably

57:09

like did their due diligence had

57:11

a meeting. It was like. Hey,

57:13

should we trade for Kevin? And

57:15

then like everyone, like, you know,

57:17

like, you just talk about it.

57:19

I, the computerized stuff, if it's

57:22

so weird. Yeah, the, the KD stuff

57:24

is, is super weird, because like,

57:26

obviously, KD at this point

57:28

in his career, like him and

57:30

Steph both have to be in

57:32

very optimal situations. And I

57:34

do think that at least

57:36

basketball wise, having Drey Mon

57:38

there would be the most

57:40

optimal. But. If Katie's just like,

57:43

hey, he ran me out of town last time,

57:45

we're cool, but I'm just not going

57:47

to play with him again, and you

57:49

have to make that move in order

57:51

to get Katie, if you're the

57:53

Warriors, at that point, if it comes

57:55

down to that, then you have to

57:57

make the decision of, what are we in

57:59

this? for. Are we in this to

58:01

like to try and win a championship

58:04

or are we just trying to you

58:06

know maintain good vibes within our inner

58:08

circle of guys? There's also a lot

58:10

of nasty noise around the bucks trying

58:13

to swap Chris Middleton for cow kuzma.

58:15

What the hell are we even talking

58:17

about? I can't express to you

58:19

enough how fucking disgusting that would

58:21

be for Bucks fans. That would

58:24

be the nail on the coffin

58:26

I think for this organization's like

58:28

title run right now. I understand

58:30

they're pretty solid right now and they

58:32

can make a run or a solid

58:34

team and Chris Middleton's lack of availability

58:37

while making enough money to be their

58:39

only real pathway to upgrading. That's quite

58:41

the hindrance on your roster when

58:43

he's not available. I fully understand

58:46

that. If your answer is to replace

58:48

with Kalakuzma, you are out of your god damn

58:50

mind. You're a fucking ludicrous. You

58:52

are insane. You are insane. If

58:54

you watch 2025, Calcousma, and you

58:56

said, put him next to the

58:59

honest, put him next to Dame,

59:01

that would be outlandish. Championship player.

59:03

That would be crazy. The only

59:05

reason why you would do that,

59:07

because it's purely off of availability

59:09

and purely off of. Yeah. I

59:12

think this guy can play more

59:14

games in the playoffs than they

59:16

Chris Middleton. You're not thinking again.

59:18

You're not thinking about how they

59:21

play how they play. You're just

59:23

thinking about the idea that they'd

59:25

be like, chat spam and check

59:27

legion hoops. What? Oh my god.

59:29

What is it? Oh wait, no.

59:31

Chad, this is the same thing.

59:33

This has happened three minutes ago.

59:35

This is the same guy reporting

59:38

that it showed. Chris Middleton to

59:40

Wizards for Kyle Kuzma

59:42

and Jonas Valentunist and

59:44

Nerkus swap is getting close. But

59:46

it's per at Steve B hoop. I

59:48

don't know who the fuck that is

59:50

going to the sons. I guess.

59:54

I guess.

59:57

Okay. It's

1:00:00

such the same. There's a lot of

1:00:02

a lot of teams, especially with like

1:00:04

their big salaries. A lot of

1:00:06

guys are just in the mud.

1:00:08

And it's like, I don't think

1:00:10

a lot of these deals are going

1:00:13

to be really pretty. We've

1:00:15

already gotten the nuclear stuff

1:00:17

out the way. Luther, you know, Fox has

1:00:19

been traded. The like, obviously, Katie

1:00:21

and Jimmy Butler would probably be.

1:00:24

the only other nuclear ones, but

1:00:26

they've been going on specifically the

1:00:29

Jimmy one. They've been going on

1:00:31

for so long that at this

1:00:33

point, it's like, all right, we're just

1:00:35

done with it. I'm not sure how I

1:00:38

feel about a lot of these other moves,

1:00:40

and I like have to see how it

1:00:42

plays out before I actually graded. You

1:00:44

know, it's one move that I want

1:00:46

to see happen. I want to see

1:00:48

Lonzo Bob move so, so, so

1:00:50

fast. And he would be so

1:00:52

good next to Lukadonchadonch. He would

1:00:54

be so perfect next to Luka

1:00:57

the connecting point guard slash

1:00:59

connecting wing who can do

1:01:01

a lot defensively be a

1:01:03

good passer Imagine the passing

1:01:05

town of the Braun Luka and

1:01:07

Lonzo ball Call it in Lonzo

1:01:09

ball for free to the Los

1:01:12

Angeles Lakers. I almost just

1:01:14

turned off my camera Donovan. Yeah,

1:01:16

we're gonna have to go Yeah, we

1:01:18

might have to beat him with hammers

1:01:20

This is like the worst thing to

1:01:23

happen to Tarz It's getting him alive,

1:01:25

how about that? One thing that we haven't

1:01:27

talked about enough that kind of like fell

1:01:29

out of the rumors, he's kind of fell

1:01:31

by the wayside, Brandon Ingram. I feel like

1:01:33

he might get traded out of left field, just

1:01:35

nobody's talking about it, because I guess the

1:01:37

pelicans are just more white than

1:01:40

most organizations. I did forget. Yeah, everybody

1:01:42

forgot, but he's pretty good. He hasn't

1:01:44

been available all year, but he's probably

1:01:46

gonna get traded, either now or in

1:01:48

the summer for sure. Jake Fisher reported that

1:01:50

Ingram still has a very small chance of

1:01:52

ending up in Golden State if they strike

1:01:54

out on Katie and Jimmy, there's still a chance

1:01:56

of a deal going to Atlanta. I've seen

1:01:59

that. I've seen Atlanta... reported a couple

1:02:01

times today and the Golden State

1:02:03

Warriors and the Toronto Raptors are

1:02:05

apparently linked to branding him a little

1:02:07

bit, which to me that was scream R.J.

1:02:09

Barrett salary, but I don't know for sure. What

1:02:11

Brandon Ingram interests you in the Hawks, because

1:02:14

that makes sense to me as a team.

1:02:16

We talked about being mid and like not

1:02:18

having a lot of pathways to go forward.

1:02:21

Ingram's a pretty good by low and he

1:02:23

fits that archetype they're looking for with these

1:02:25

big wings. He could do some creation.

1:02:27

He could play next to Jaylyn Johnson.

1:02:29

as a Hawks fan, after seeing like

1:02:31

the Luka Dodge trade, and I'm like,

1:02:33

yo, okay, we got it, Luka got

1:02:35

traded first, like, nothing, nothing else matters

1:02:37

in this era, and I can just

1:02:40

like focus on what needs to be

1:02:42

done for this organization. Now, before

1:02:44

this DR and Fox trade,

1:02:46

I was so heavily anticipating

1:02:48

on like, okay, like maybe

1:02:50

we need to start these

1:02:52

conversations involving the Spurs. Obviously,

1:02:54

that happened, like, there's a

1:02:56

nail on a coffin to

1:02:58

that conversation of that conversation.

1:03:00

utter embarrassment and how you guys

1:03:02

lacked out yeah they lacked

1:03:04

out mid-rent let me get

1:03:06

him back in okay show on stream

1:03:09

this motherfucker just kicked

1:03:12

this out yeah you can talk

1:03:14

about the guy you're saying too

1:03:16

many god damn words about

1:03:19

the Atlanta Hawks I wasn't

1:03:21

trying to hear it Yeah, you

1:03:23

you wanted to, you had that

1:03:26

many transitions to the God damn

1:03:28

Lakers and Lukadonchus. But if I

1:03:30

was, if Landry Phil's in

1:03:32

that front office, I would want

1:03:35

to make this move happen so

1:03:37

we can save ourselves and save

1:03:39

the league from having these spurs

1:03:41

run shit for the next 10

1:03:43

years and gifting them another lottery

1:03:45

pick. Yeah, that's okay, okay, okay,

1:03:48

in that sense. Yeah. I would like

1:03:50

it. I think. I think we've been

1:03:52

waiting and like the Hawks tried to

1:03:54

do this obviously with DeGante but like

1:03:56

you you want to have more guys who

1:03:58

can do stuff with the ball. outside of

1:04:00

just trade. And having having Brennan

1:04:03

Ingram there would give their

1:04:05

offense a little bit more juice and

1:04:07

it would be fine. And I think

1:04:09

it would help you or two. Yeah, and

1:04:11

it would help like, obviously, like,

1:04:13

Trey, Trey's going to play better

1:04:15

than what he has for the entirety

1:04:17

of this year, moving forward. I

1:04:20

think like, and we've talked about

1:04:22

how he's kind of like every

1:04:24

other year, in terms of his

1:04:26

consistency. But if you get like a

1:04:28

good Trey young season, and a good

1:04:30

Brendan Ingram season, you, there's a

1:04:32

fourth, like there's something there and

1:04:35

you can you can definitely work with

1:04:37

that. So I'm, I don't hate it.

1:04:39

I also just want to see Brandon

1:04:41

Ingram outside of, outside of New

1:04:43

Orleans, so anywhere that you put

1:04:45

him, I will probably talk myself

1:04:47

into it and be like, yeah,

1:04:50

it's good, it'll work. Yeah, you know.

1:04:52

I know I like to fit a

1:04:54

lot. I think Ingram is an underrated

1:04:56

passer. His defense has been good at

1:04:58

times last year specifically when they had

1:05:01

that top 10 defense without having

1:05:03

any rent protection. I thought

1:05:05

he was impressive defensively, but that's

1:05:07

been real up and down throughout

1:05:09

his career. So he's not somebody

1:05:11

you can like for sure count

1:05:13

on to be a great defensive

1:05:15

player. He's not somebody you can

1:05:17

like for sure count on to be

1:05:20

a great defensive player. Even yeah,

1:05:22

literally yeah, but but offensively I like to

1:05:24

fit a lot I think you could sell

1:05:26

high on de Andre hunter get Bogi's contract

1:05:28

out of there that they're clearly trying to

1:05:30

move It could low-key just be like those

1:05:32

two for money and then some light assets

1:05:34

maybe give him code buffkin who I personally

1:05:37

Maybe you do mo and then like some

1:05:39

light picks I would like that a lot. Yeah, I would

1:05:41

a hundred percent do this. I love

1:05:43

De And your hunter hunter hunter hunter,

1:05:45

but there's only so much that we

1:05:48

don't have infrastructure to infrastructure to do

1:05:50

real things with him and bringing in

1:05:52

Brennan Ingram would also give us like

1:05:55

Loki, Jaylon Johnson insurance because I have

1:05:57

over the last two years of seeing

1:05:59

his start him and see how he's

1:06:01

like emerged as it's like such a

1:06:03

really good, God damn good player. I have

1:06:06

no trust in his health. Not at all.

1:06:08

Yeah, those shoulders are vital. Yeah,

1:06:10

exactly. Like going back, going dating

1:06:12

from last year to this year

1:06:14

and seeing how earlier this year,

1:06:16

even like he's been consistently in

1:06:18

and out of the lineup, like

1:06:20

this team is not meant to

1:06:22

not built to go through hella

1:06:24

injuries or else we're like railing

1:06:26

on the garrison Matthews of the

1:06:29

world. It's not a pretty sign I need

1:06:31

running on. New tweet from the athletic, this

1:06:33

might be from the same report, but it's

1:06:35

a new packaging of it for Twitter. As

1:06:37

the warriors continue their pursuit of

1:06:40

Kevin Durant, two players of interest

1:06:42

have emerged from the sons. Dreymont,

1:06:44

Dreymong Green, who has an established

1:06:46

relationship with owner Matt Ispia, both

1:06:49

Michigan State guys. Of course, that's

1:06:51

what it is. They're cool. Dreymong

1:06:53

Green is getting outside of basketball

1:06:55

and getting outside of basketball and

1:06:57

getting into the business. And also

1:07:00

Jonathan comminga is somebody

1:07:02

that those sons are interested in.

1:07:04

Hey, tell my time on time

1:07:07

on. So so we're all like

1:07:09

scrolling our phones because it feels

1:07:12

like something's about to happen. Mo

1:07:14

just tweeted, Mo just tweeted out,

1:07:16

oh gee. What's going on? So

1:07:19

what's happening? I got sources. Drew

1:07:21

Hanlon tweeted buckle up with with

1:07:23

an exploiting head. Would you like

1:07:26

to report something here? Live

1:07:28

on air. I can't say

1:07:30

too much. I can't say

1:07:32

too much. I've been trusted

1:07:34

on like real like Nico

1:07:36

Harris type timing to not

1:07:38

say too much, but just

1:07:40

buckle up fellows. I have

1:07:43

one question to that. What the

1:07:45

fuck are you talking about? Only

1:07:47

time can tell. Why did he

1:07:49

tweet OMG? I don't understand what's

1:07:52

being said right now. The joke

1:07:54

is lost on me. It's just

1:07:56

so funny seeing the most random

1:07:59

NBA count. type like oh my

1:08:01

god's were handling the same like wait

1:08:03

or buckle up or whatever I think

1:08:05

Pierre said some shit like he's he

1:08:07

thought some there like knew something I

1:08:10

was going on and shit so why

1:08:12

can I have fun too? Yeah so

1:08:14

why can I cap everybody's cabin why

1:08:16

I can't I? Yeah man I always

1:08:19

want to stay on stream just in

1:08:21

case something crazy happens But I don't

1:08:23

know man like I do these rumors just

1:08:25

keep on flying literally as we're streaming like

1:08:27

Yeah, I'm absolutely lawns. Like apparently Minnesota

1:08:29

tour rules have real interest in lawns.

1:08:31

What should be like a match made

1:08:34

in fucking heaven for some like Anthony

1:08:36

Edwards again health real health real health

1:08:38

concerns and issues with lawns. But you

1:08:40

have Rob Billingham back there who's just

1:08:42

continuously developing right in front of our

1:08:44

eyes and looking like a real player

1:08:46

who this team could use but in

1:08:48

the meantime like having someone like lawns.

1:08:51

low usage, but also like represents

1:08:53

in every single way what this team

1:08:56

needs when it comes to shooting the

1:08:58

defense the in the passing of the

1:09:00

connectivity that could that he could like

1:09:02

help conceal with Anthony with

1:09:05

Anthony at words is this what he

1:09:07

needs, bro, what this team needs. Well,

1:09:09

sounds like that's the industry,

1:09:11

y'all. We'll see if something happens,

1:09:13

things are continue to get

1:09:16

crazy. Hopefully Kevin and Grant

1:09:18

is traded by the end of tonight.

1:09:20

And when we get to this episode on

1:09:22

Friday and we grade every trade, hopefully you

1:09:24

can see Kevin Durant, not thumbnail. Hopefully

1:09:26

I can click page you with Kevin

1:09:29

Durant and I'll put F or something

1:09:31

on there just to make you click the video,

1:09:33

but really we're gonna say it's a good trade.

1:09:35

We'll see though. You hate to see it, bro. You hate

1:09:37

to see it.
