Yeah, it's funny cuz all his bad games with this like Can you play nigga in a guy and candy? You know what you mean that TV? No, what you're trying to cast To a surprise on me Shave rising out next to the food now, but if you get the home internet home in a night You get the whole damn smart house for that. Oh, it's like under $100 for both That's what I'm supposed to but it depends where you live You know me I kind of That they work though That they work so they got good.

I know yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they've been working on it like my condo That's like you give it speed but you get this piece of assets What YouTube TV allows you six different like sub accounts to like six different people But the way I do it is I just give my mom you know saying like I logged in so for the TV in the internet So I know it's a total not to one it yeah, not 200 You know obviously it depends on your Verizon bill, you know the other things you got on there Just those two things will be on it on the bill is unlimited. Yeah, truly limited I love me I love me Because I'm paying a hundred something for internet but I was paying two hundred something for anything about so Julian we don't miss up. Oh, membership. Oh, yeah That's what I used to have we saw good everybody.

Hey, I'm a disconnect my joke from my shit Did you see that one? No, cuz I got a sign into an account got you yeah, I don't know what what the account is for Amazon Let me see so people for now. I need one of the millions so Now they could they crack it down there for some fucking What's the amen Netflix? How are they able to tell the difference?

Yeah, he'll go Not a disrespectful today, but are you in the area get your own account? So You know how these Amazon TVs they use the same frequency as annoying big mama's like No, that was our YouTube TV on that one we should just start off with another two pick Come on man. Don't miss it up.

I mean I already picked it. No, they basically did what's they found out the lottery? Okay, no, they have not no they keep going back and forth They always do that shit with them on over a pick you You may not take the obvious nigga night time or two. All right.

Let's go to a door. Okay. I'm talking about you Greg picks up Vegas will be great. Jordan was the joy which to be honest Jordan Jordan will pick up You saw that why he saw the thing He's getting billions was one of the TikTok experience.

He should be said no, that's not this that's been a It was he was basically like saying well allegedly he's old to one of his partners and and his partner in him When he on the game stop thing and they lost He makes shoes alone that's a point so he makes 400 million a year off shoes. Why do you? 2.1 million billion billion billion you think about that? I really don't really got it.

They just think about taxes. That's what they look like It's not about you saying no, it's still it makes like 400 That's the bill's less than half a million dollars and he's still working like he's saving the whole whole But I'm saying though, where's where's it going? To be in his pocket bro, but It depends on I was in a Million dollar lifetime. Let me go to keep this off.

Oh, yeah, he living in the cater some shit Not about this is the place where sports is being a lot dentists for somebody else can be in join the show We have people spike Shelton Nick people sir. What is my what up though? Shelton was handing and Nick was good victim women. I don't want overall Don't you guys it's hard though He said you got what was me you do It's a doctor on YouTube he always About the shows no, but he breaks down all the injuries and stuff and he was saying like Victor is gonna He's afraid he's gonna be injured pro Right Talk about He walked like My bro he towers over that dude is like six three something Bro what in the hell oh under 20 points a game first yet.

Yeah under yeah popping. I have my But look how tall he is and he's on the spares who else No, no, they were actually winning games and There was a report or something that came out they went up the pop like what the fuck you doing Right, like you're gonna cost us you know a chance at the number one big because I think they won a couple of games in a row And they were tripping over that The jazz was winning early on and then he's with that's It's on the bloody over and I just the best this the best team you should want to yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah So how sure y'all? In clue injury and all of that like well how sure was you he's gonna be a star I know that he has the ability the availability I'm not sure how much you bet on you like you bet what you bet on the team which you bet on the grand on it if you Had the money I bet it you bet on the grand so we're about a million dollars on it I'm I'm not I'm not able to bet a million but you don't want to bet a lot better.

I bet it. I bet about you I'm neutral on this nigga for real girl I see the talent but what was the last good big man that lasted Tim Duncan long like like And did it was long as you were starting to see Joker into that room Because he said he's gonna be down for the next way five to eight years. He should be he should be Playin longs you stay healthy can't show me I'm running on well Yeah, I the talent is there but like we talked about injuries the only thing that really would scare me And the fact that they don't go hard in him this year. That's my only thing is everybody he see I think he could be as good I think he has a like to me I don't know what it ceiling is but his floor to me should be kg the flu is kg So this is the reason why I'm willing to bet a million I wouldn't know when you look at some of the other bigs right of that Style and that height that stature they look like big man They still move like big man.

Praiseen is he's super fluid for that height, but he still moves like a big man Um, chat who will obviously really go bare moves like a Well, what does check do that moves? It's not webbing yama food watch check do a crossover check is not getting low on it trust me check is not fluid like It's hard. Oh, I'm saying what he's not okay. They're not webbing yama moves like he's 64 Who is that kind of like how Anthony Davis came into the league was a guard?

You know back before so he has guard cable even a DM my opinion with some of the things he does he's You know fluid robot. He's a fluid robot at times. You know, I'm saying button This guy moves like a guard, but that's half the size That's that's that's the reason why I believe that the injury shouldn't be as bad as some of these he's more mobile He's more fluid. So he's gonna check the smaller guys.

Huh? He's gonna be checking smaller guys. They're gonna play like three or two way it's 74 to no He's gonna he's gonna play the three four five It depends on what the magic is because in lane and it depends what the match up is now we're putting about the five But I mean he's supposed to be this position is basketball So don't think anything like that's put him on the court wherever you go who you guard is we guard? But now his I mean show we all take them Man, they better be school.

I'm taking Miller. No, I'm taking school I take a milking cam says Charlotte is back tonight members chat Charlotte is back tonight Jordan is finally gone He ain't gone yet. He making if he drives brand Miller or whoever he drags I mean and they end up that could be a good piece for like moving forward like Don't be real That's TV tears. Mm-hmm.

That's a life-scan cry Lab cry Oh Oh Thank you, so look I don't disagree with anything that you're saying this guy is the prototype of the NBA, right? And I've always remember those quipper teams. I had CP were Blake and DeAndre. That's what they were missing They were missing Brandon Miller.

I'm not saying that he won't be a multiple time all-star But I questioned him being a superstar to dominate score 50 maybe 40 dominate the playoffs. Who is that guy? If the front office called another one that he said I want to play with you exactly you drive the brand But he said He's he's he's insurance in case mellow leaves too. That's who the mellow leave even more reason because I don't want to Can I know the chit bro?

I know I know I know that first contract they signed in that so that is different So you say he's he reset I Covers the Nixon shit, I'm gonna get up Yeah, so who so you think Is guaranteed And making this work with thanks, bro, they don't want to be traded too, but yeah The team said they didn't want to move give him to the also But that's I'm saying they get a third pick right here that could play with name and we get Paul George and we get Pam like they Trying to get that's crazy. They pick Brandon Miller Over here like I'm pretty sure it's a cheaper cost of living number one But Portland and any rain and all of the Oregon teams travel the most that is a further stream I mean, I'll you have a good book. That's it We know you shoot That pick was that we knew they could shut thing or let this go Football pick didn't go right now You know You know So what like I always wanted to know like what really makes you like it was passed on like I had my godmother was Kyle once they see if she gives me when I first thought I watch a football 10 years old as well I saw my room and shit was cowboy stuff, but how can you say a problem? Hey Ready is on the rise, bro Yeah I saw that and do it's something like one of them rumble Because they said it they got a they got a network that they just started and they're working trying to get him home Old-game school Tonight Yes Only that's you know like I'm not being on like saying who's gonna be great Well him.

I just I don't know I just feel like he has it all shelter Ability he has the shot he has the work ethic like he has it all he you know would you consider him undersized I mean I'm like Confidence he's overconfident and I like him with the suit. No, I like it though. I like it though He just somebody's you know this is thing Definitely is my team walk up like I'm gonna take my time. I got to jack it on.

Let me take my ears It's my take that was he's high like though 6 to 195 though. He reminds us of our mother No, he more close with the phone. I'm gonna say he's a little bit more. Let me see Francis He just yeah, that's close.

That's closer, but he got more to see No, he's I'm talking about physically he's like See who that's on Now watch this thing where we're young Man, he played Memphis the big dude like the fact. What is his name? He just got a deal. Oh, I would with the brain.

Yeah, he's out super skill. He was killing He figured him out like at first where I was getting him and he figured out like I'm going at him He was breaking with shit who the hell is Dyson dang? What he had? I think No, I Is This is what Pat McAfee was just on and that's the reason why he left that to go to ESPN So now fan do TV has the money to pay a shiny shark.

So he's cutting out the middleman So he's not gonna go to a major network. What's that a streaming service? He's gonna be on YouTube. Just like just like trying to show I mean just like Pat McAfee A lot of these They let go sports in a dude.

Oh, which one? Legend of like do a glass. Oh, Neil. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Mm.

Legend. Yeah, I didn't school Henderson. Hey gorilla, too That's gonna be a mar a mirror when I'm 20 minutes when I'm 20 minutes. I don't after this round.

Oh, this is right here. I'm like, yeah, I'm That was that was a draft. Well, I was a driver. That's a that's it for that as far as we are I tap it in.

Hey, but we just covered in a lottery Oh, yeah, let's talk about these trades. Yeah Let's talk about the first one that I was aware of the Celtics Wizards vs. Lee's 18th Trade love it and that trade the first version of the one actually went through one With the one I see was that I like it. I like it Chris that goes the Boston the Wizards aren't a different they try to take it Yeah, that's that's that's not their moves are not basketball.

Yeah, they're moving But KP going to Boston bosses also getting Memphis's first round taking this grab and going to state to head to work for Trying to understand how they got all that okay. Okay. He was the best player Was he gonna play the US KP ever 23 points a game? That's Was the most 20 plus points scores ever in the NBA I can't remember the number but it was ridiculous like 20 points a game in the NBA used to be the standard like all-star that bar has to be But but at the end of the day you can't teach 73 you can't teach 73 with it with a shot the way he has So so so what that does is it gives you a more athletic Version of what you have an outhopper because I'll hurt for once to move on and say you want to come back to Atlanta I don't know.

Yeah, but I like it there too even if he stays but core zing is I still feel like they still missing a point guard so facilities But but what this does it makes it for even more formidable in that front court, right? Because you still got to go through the MBs of the world the jokers if you make it like you need somebody with some height size and ability To contest with these big men and he can do that a third score. So it was exactly one of those two Okay, P That's the only issue I Well But We talking about you know, uh, gee that's the competitor. That's the competitor That's like a factor in house and the thing is is that the players are going in with a name because of you two already They're already having a platform.

They're already having established name. We already know that the gee is in market as well It's not and it's it's basically like the Y on C8 and yet if you play here But it ain't nobody else don't really give a fuck. I just like the confidence of these two the twins and He's gonna feel avoid at the point to help out the scene So I like Yeah So is his brother as good? Yeah, he's gonna go Pick the next two picks he probably will be He'll go to the right one Man, they say it I believe it to them today They have the same exact tax.

Yeah, they did that. Yes. I Know they share the bank account. Yes.

Yeah, bro. They're one person. Yeah, they are one person I think that they don't anymore. So anyway, uh, which right where you guys notice they got?

Oh, yeah, uh, Chris Paul is officially at the cleaners I Say when you backing up step curry and they go who crossed you there's you two CPA to play a move to the three Small Any country on 30 million a year plus That's I mean if he turned out 27. It ain't going down. It's gonna go up You know what's interesting about a week or so go when Mike the lv junior became the GM of the ghost of warriors You'll sign about, you know, we expect to have to look for four years Yeah So we say we say to be a four year So are they keeping You come off the books after this year. Yeah, you there So he's there for the years Hires their basketball IQ doesn't take it does I kind of like the move and all of these are like it is because neighbors like you should have more for joint pool I think joint pool stock was dropping like a rock is Chris Paula upgrade over pool Yes, sorry facets.

Yeah, it's not But yes based off the pool we saw last year You would say oh, I really have a pool that won the championship last year is I can't play him. It's the one you're going to play Yeah, you go super small. Yeah, because I'll play your two players to play your three during runs after four five and we don't know Loonie and there Loonie and Dremon Huh, no, no, no, no, you can't go to that line up because I'm the same, but that's your best you can't It's birds, but not You look like his guards who you got Vanderbilt in Russell they could play Chris. No Russell out of here It was gonna be off the reves I Go Detroit is young man He's a vet Is So the Wizards and Chris Paul to the Warriors for Jordan pool and pigs For old as Chris Paul.

Yeah, so go to stay gave up picks. Yes Jordan pool in a package of pick the package will include He was just damn is losing I think it was more and a second I think it was even more than that situation because you I was seeing like little things where they were saying like They just fade up him like he goes to the day. They would take him out. Yeah, that fool Yeah, I'm clips and they don't tell me who all in on poison around the league So nobody wanted it was and you know also Draymond made a really good point about the nuggets and why they won the championship It was earlier in the season.

Jamal Murray took like so they invited the ball It was like the end of half Situation and they gave the ball to Jamal and Jamal and Jamal made like a real tough move one-on-one step back three over somebody But Joker was wide open he was calling for the ball not like I'm open but he was just like right and jim when Jamal miss Joker was like He almost made it now like damn man. He didn't give you the balls over And he was like that type of camaraderie when you want the best shot right because that's a good shot for Jamal Murray Now it got down Aaron Gordon is doing that. Hey, you know, hey, there's a pecking order here But for Jamal and for Joker those are good shots You know saying so to have that kind of that camaraderie that chemistry You know saying that says a lot and go to state once upon a time had that Jordan cool fucks that up for yeah And he's a cancer he had to go and if you know, you know, you want to get something for him And like saying this part was coming off the books He's a one-year riddle if he plays well, then you want if you don't you sit him down but young y'all know this makes absolutely You know why it does Ken that to me he's a smaller equal dollar for them for what a chance to win one title Like They were and now even the guy that were they were look I felt like they gave up too quick on wisely in my opinion Um There's certain moves that got him to where they are and there's certain moves that we're starting to see that they're reacting to Right now what they're trying to do is ring out the last bit of water out of a t-shirt that is called Steph Curry Every little bit that we can get to get him closer to a championship. You're closer with CP than Jordan So right now your 20-30 first round pick is gone.

It's a late pick anyway And you lose a second round pick second and Chris Paul will be gone in a year That's fine and you'll be back to where the hell you were So here's the thing so you're already dealing with luxury tax So because that contract comes off the books you're out of luxury tax You know or you should be out of luxury tax depending on who you pay how much So I play and you got a dreamer because dreamer opted in so he'll be a free agent next year as well So it just depends who's the free agent who you got the doubt? Oh, he got the doubt So yeah, so he's working for the hand exactly um, but either way Ken What this does to me when I look at the way that go to state is constructed right now CP is gonna help the second team that's the moodies the commingas he's gonna get those guys to play out of higher levels He's supposed to coach up the younger basically you He's gonna like the hell out of the boy. You only need him to be 25 to 30 minutes again. What 20 to 25 The last two months to see oh, yeah And that's the reason that's the reason why I'm like chemistry He's gonna be their equal dollar.

He's gonna coach up the young boys when he's on the court He's the one that's gonna be orchestral. He's the mind step can wrist exactly the only thing you we're gonna still get good shots Like with Jordan Say that he's track exactly I'm gonna make a run. I got my three guys on the other strap, but I was weird out What Damn, bro. Who the hell is this dude?

Yeah, I thought it's he he is six five Oh Hey Bunch He's like Carmelo that's his build tight. He's a Carmelo Anthony. That's a superstar I don't know if Kate is a paid is like a athletic chauncey billers to me. No Kate is more like You go without the bad shots Bro, this bro Control's temple the game I Look man, that's how he moved, bro.

You never know His brother do look like How you talking to the white mom No more trades The last year there's no more trades. I was gonna move on to say did you like to clap back LeBron James did against Michael? Oh My That's what you see like a study always Yeah, I don't know that bro. You got a championship.

I worry about LeBron y'all swept them too. No, my thing is bro If you can talk shit when you want to title when can you talk shit, right? I know I get this shit talking you beat me, but don't wait. I'll be somebody else Appio Why you talking about Miami that's normally high girl you talk about the team that you beat A shot I I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know I I Know I Know I Know I Know I That's mom pops, that's homie, that's the people that I'm hiring.

You can do so much though, when you gotta understand it, you're gonna understand that. But it's also the people that I'm hiring. Bad decision making. So when you win a good organization, like we're talking about with San Antonio, right?

So then you're building my case against him. If I'm okay, see, why am I bringing that? Because I got a better organization than the Warlands has. But I have, and also, but I have very nice pieces, and I still don't even know how it all works together.

Why am I gonna take a gamble on you when you have all this stuff? I think that you have the talent. I feel like bringing you here, getting you away from the Warlands. But they don't have to give up.

There's no way in hell is I gonna wanna be an OKC, bro. That's gonna be part of the part. That's the majority on him though. He needs to get out of the way.

No, he's not gonna be a warlands. That's on him. I didn't say he needs to want to go. I said he needs to be traded till.

Okay, I didn't say he's gonna be a warland. If he wants a better scenery, he wants to go to an organization that's gonna go to a warland. Sometimes it's the market, bro. I don't think OKC's gonna do anything.

I just don't think you should reward a nigga like this. If y'all say what the mind said he's in, it sounds like you're rewarding him by taking him to a bigger city or whatever. I'm expecting him to end OK in a minute. No, no, no, what I'm saying is you send him OKC, you might run into the same.

So then why Atlanta? Why is Atlanta this far from? Shit, move like. I'm just saying people about Atlanta.

So I like Atlanta because you have arguably the best law thrower in the league with Trey Young. See, you also have. It's all the broken. He's in Atlanta streets.

I'm sorry. He's gonna say Quavo. I don't know that. Who would you make up with my?

Oh, but I like the fit with Trey Young. You know, Trey Young for the last two years has been ranked top three offensive, you know, ranking in the whole NBA. So that helps that it gives them the legit physical presence that they need that they've been lacking because they got perimeter guys, but they don't have a guy that could dominate around the rim like that. Zion gives them that gives them versatility, gives them more marketability as the team because I love what Atlanta has done with Trey and what Trey has done for himself.

You're saying, but Zion just adds to it. Another thing that I like about it is really, really, it's just a fit. The fit, in my opinion, is one of the best fits in the league. OK, so for me, everything you said had nothing to do with the organization and dealing with Zion.

It was all about on the court. I was waiting for you to get to point out. Because here's a great time of organization is the reason why he's successful. Well, the Atlanta Hawks ever since we got rid of Joe Johnson and Danny and that whole, you know, Josh Smith and all of that, we've been a pretty ran organization.

Really? Yes. The Atlanta Hawks have been in the playoffs more often than not. Joe Johnson and that whole Atlanta Hawks squad started it.

They've been a little bit better next since that guy accused who they got to use the blame for the Bulls. I'll run this on the African scam on them. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I forgot his name. You didn't hear about that. It was a white guy. Well, Danny.

Danny. Danny. Danny Fair. Who I think?

Who I think? You're getting hit at? Yeah. It was a whole combination of the whole combination of the offense.

Well, yeah, I know the discrimination law. It's been better since. Who I've been with the game. That was the last time I've been in this mess.

I think it was like the Joe Johnson, they were successful as well. He went to playoffs and they went to the game. They were good enough to make it to the playoffs, but never did enough to get out. Well, I'm saying that Hawks have always been for somehow some way being in the playoffs and made it to random Eastern Conference Finals when you think they were supposed to.

Danny Fair said he's still a young guy overall. He's a good guy overall, but he's not perfect. He got some African in him. And I don't say that in a bad way.

He's like a guy who will have a nice throw out for him and say, you kind of pissed off out the back. Wow. That's a wild. That's a wild.

That's a wild. That's a wild. That's a wild. That's a wild.

That's a wild. That's a wild. That's a wild. That's a wild.

That's a wild. That was why he did want to bring the wild game to the Hawks in the straight. That's crazy. But my thing is that I think Zion needs to go somewhere where ain't shit out there but to who?

Indiana. Look, I think I'm just looking at teams that really have assets. Look, I talked about Encourt, right? And okay, see off the court.

Okay, see off the court because there's some market that's already what he's dealing with. He's telling you, showing you he doesn't want to do it. That's bullshit. What are you saying?

How does that not mean? You just said he's damaged. You said he's damaged. You don't get to call the shot.

It ain't only him to call the shot after getting the chick pregnant and saying I can't survive in this. No. That's not what he's talking about. That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying.

That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. If you all were first overall, like you said, build a whole squad around you, wasn't trying to build around you. It's nothing dumb before it's not from what you've seen.

If that team, if you have not been successful with that team and you know, we know as mostly because you, but all the reports say that you're not a leader, I thought you were not keeping yourself healthy in shape and you got other distractions, then it's like, why am I putting you in a bigger city to put another team around you with that who's expecting? It's no good game, it's like who's expecting. Who's Checking Zion? I'm saying who's getting Zion, okay who's getting Zion?

The teams that would want Zion or the teams that need that extra level push. to get to the whole proverbial next level. But you have so much to deal with when it comes to getting, I'm on the court, as far as like, you gotta get in shape, you gotta be on, make sure he's accountable. And then on top of that, you gotta see if you can even play, because right now he has to prove that he can even play what, 60 plus games a season?

You only play 11 more games a great goin' up a bit. So it's like, he has to be a group that he's built to even play the NBA, yeah. So we have a lot to do to see, you know what I'm sayin'? No, I feel you.

So that's why a team would swing big, because we're a major market team, we're on the cusp, we've been in purgatory for a little while. This is a big swing. Home grown, why am I gonna take on that risk, because it's more of a headache, and we got something good. Because we're acting like, okay, C shit is questionable.

Okay, C has a plethora of talent, and like 20 fucking draft picks in the next five years. But they haven't had the history like the whole game. They haven't had the history. They haven't been to a deep run into playoffs.

They don't have a, what CP was there, they made us about. I wasn't in the run, they don't understand. But they haven't ever since they got rid of Russell Westbrook and PG, they've been a young team. And even when they originally drafted Russell Westbrook, James Harden and KB, they were a young team that kept movin' up every year.

I was saying, okay, C is more, there's a one piece away better than Atlanta. Atlanta is one season away from going, that shit up. No, Atlanta is, we know what we are. What is, okay, C?

What is Atlanta? Atlanta is very trade young centric, and he doesn't have a legit second guy. He doesn't have a legit second guy. I wanna know what's really going on with that.

They have personal issues, and John has not ascended every year. You think Atlanta in a better position, okay, C right now? I do, yeah, I do. Yeah, I do.

I do. Yeah, I do. I do. I do.

I do. I do. I do. My biggest thing about C is they have these assets and they're trying to make a trade for somebody.

They don't be like a trade away from actually starting compete, and I think a Zion trade would be the trade that's like, that's so disproportionate. This is in this team, The Atlanta team, now in the one that beat the chili. Coach, that's pretty much all that. I was gonna say I was!) I said they're not even like NickNam.

I'm not saying the coach, that took them over the top. Consistent perimeter play is the biggest difference. That's not all on triyong. They're an, that was the reason we tried it for Murray to get.

I'm gonna tell you why they traded for Jejontay. But the difference between that playoff run when they beat Philly and all of them versus where they are now is perimeter play when I mean by that hitting shots. Hooter had a crazy playoff run that run. The Andre Hunter was a rookie if I'm not mistaken.

And he was up and down. But Hooter was instrumental. Hooter had big moments for that Hawks team. And then they came back next year, he wasn't the same guy.

So what they do, they moved on from. They also moved on from Cam Reddish. And then they said, all right, Hunter's gonna be our guy. The reason why they traded for Jejontay Murray was because of how Miami exposed Trey Young last year.

Because remember that year they got a pass the first round and then they played Miami the second round. And what Miami did was say, we're gonna shut Trey down, we're gonna double team him. And then y'all don't have no other options. So there's no other ball handlers slash playmaker facilitator.

Also, they're up that season. And it's even been a problem with the Jejontay even without the Jejontay. But it's less of a problem now. Is that every time Trey went to the bench, they're offensive numbers plummeting.

So any time Trey was off the court, it was an issue. So you bring the Jejontay in now, you can't punct trade young because now we got the Jejontay out here as well. And then when Trey is on the bench and the Jejontay's running team, we're not just gonna go like the worst team or become the worst team. You know what I'm saying for these next three to four minutes that he's out.

They have two wins, two set of twins, right? They have the tops and then there was some Hendrix. Yeah, there's two. He's not in front of him.

He said, one was a center and some one was not, no, not future. But okay. Oh, that's J.C. Okay.

Okay. Now, I mean, shit, with everything that's been going on, my question is going back to the trades, how does that trade help Memphis, the one that with Boston, with Boston Memphis and everybody. Yes. Oh, you guys in the Brooklyn area from Dylan?

When did this happen? This just happened just now. Oh, that's what the Walla goes. Okay.

The magic received, Wendell Carter, all over. That was a Walla go. How about two seasons? Yeah, yeah.

This is what, because they've got two picks back then, right back to back. How does that trade help Memphis? Let me see. Let me see.

Let me see. Let me look at this real quick. I was thinking about the stability in the back court. You got a dog.

They lost it. They lost it. He kicked him in the mouth. Yeah.

Marcus, why the middle of the prayer moment. It's just in the moment. They turn the head is right. I was off.

Marcus, why better than what Dylan Brooks? I, okay. How much does that mean to you? Because I don't think it really helped.

Dylan Brooks, I got where? Huh? I was saying, like saying he's better than Dylan Brooks means what? It means they have a better defensive player, someone who has more play off experience, maturity, cohesiveness with a team, John Marranco, the leader, but if I was just what, 25 games.

I mean, they play fine without John. He was the heart and soul of that Boston team. And he has another deal. Yeah.

It was, it's Memphis. Marcus Smart says Memphis to me. He reminds me so much. Tony, Tony, Tony Allen brought to that team and just the heart.

You said, so, Lucas said that Boston got a big guy. They're going back to white. That's the problem. They need to swipe.

Oh, no, I need to. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think it helps me.

I don't think it does either. I don't think it takes some like over the top. It's a slaggle grade. It's a slight upgrade.

I still rather him over. It's a tick in the stock market. Okay. But it's the team got better.

The team is better with Marcus Smart versus Dylan Brooks. Right. Then you'll have it like the whole situation that you had against the like, the Dylan Brooks calls all that bullshit. I mean, I don't really matter because did y'all think that Memphis was going to win that series?

If they hit Marcus Smart, they might have. Hell no. You saw that. Dylan Brooks, I don't think that about.

You think Marcus Smart got in LeBron and those like, oh, I ain't saying that. I didn't say that. No, I didn't say that. No, I said it might have won that series.

They had Marcus Smart. You got to get in with it. You know, Davis Day look like that's his day. It's crazy.

All these do have the same size. I know he had a son missing a run. I'm seeing Orlando. He was ready to fight somebody.

Yeah. He's doing all the same player. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't think it helps them all that. I mean, it better. Is it a step up over Dylan Brooks?

Yeah. What do we go with that? We're going to the finals now. I don't know.

I remember what do I, however, he was he was an interesting player. I remember doing it. Then he slept somebody as a hit. Yeah, he did.

He's a better player. He's long on the coach. Oh, Cal, who's my declined? He's going to be a player option.

He's going to be going back. He's going to get that money. He can't go back to LA. You won't play like he did the way he did it.

He probably got humbled in Washington and going back to LA. He played well in Washington. But I'm saying he got humbled as far as like he learned. I'm assuming he's going to be a better player.

Maybe. I don't know. Matt's show got canceled. Matt, stay willing.

They cancel it. Yeah, bro. He got the money. He's not pushing more.

He's not pushing more. It's more than it is. It's more than it is. It's more than it is.

It's more than it is. They are not. I used to wake up in the morning and listen to the mentioned. I think you're going to get around the horn.

Mike Wilbon. No, no. They're not going to get around the horn. You know, around the horn.

PTI is what's it? I always going to be. I always thought sports center was just like a default. That makes they want to emulate.

Just this last year. I don't understand. That's what he has to do with it. It's what I'm saying.

They're going to put all the money behind it. And they're going to stray away like they deal with Michael. Michael Smith and Jamil. They ain't never trying it again.

We're going to work with him. We're going to say he can Murray's twin is in his draft. Chris Murray. Yeah, he is.

He's running high. He's running high. He's running high too. He's running high too.

He came out as a rookie. His brother's going to come out this year. His brother's a carbon copy. I think he's either going to go to Utah or go to Sacramento.

I'm going to read some super chats. Stephen and his love Katie. We have the same legacy as Hardin. If he didn't leech off the Warriors and I came with the better version of Joke or if he played today's game.

I don't know. I don't know. I'm sorry. I was just saying like I feel bad the way we remember Katie because it seems because his resume is super star Hall of Fame time and top 12 probably all time player.

But you all going to get him as a leech down. That's what he is. Yeah. I think we got Katie twisted.

Yeah, I think Katie cares about legacy enough to say that you're going to respect me, but he don't care about the antics. He knows he's a Hall of Fame. I don't really think I don't really think I'm saying like in general, like it's disrespectful. Not to the point where I think is I think he cares that you don't respect what he did in terms of the move that he made.

I don't think he like that. But at the same time he's like what did it make to you tweeting. I think I only care about his people respect his game. I don't think he cares.

I don't think he cares. I don't think he cares. Who is that? Who?

Yeah. I'm talking about his story. Who is that who will respect it? But like as far as him as a player.

Yeah, like it's always going to be considered. But as. He didn't mean that's the best thing. He did.

He went to the best thing. He went to the best thing, and you were the best player. You were the one side version of your game. Where he parked up, was it not going to go to State.

That's not where he parked up. He parked up leaving Golden State. Because it's one thing. He should have just stayed there.

Eight rings. Exactly. One can you say okay y'all say stuff is the goal. But shit.

How many finals are you facing? I got versus him. I came here. Yeah, they won before me, but they went like this without me.

Had he went to go to sem before to George. Yeah, then it would be a different level. That's it. Now we're talking legacy.

It's either greatest of all time the reason the reason people start discrediting him is because all you want to go to Brooklyn and go to Calreanette didn't work now you in Phoenix and that don't work That's what it is critical me. I go in and go in the go Is he wins in Phoenix then no no no it's still take the hit because you have gold estate Yeah, I know you want the best team ever and you left why? No, he proved he was the best player The greatest ever exactly think you can people respect MJ 6 and 0 in the finals. That's the reason why I said I'm doing it.

That's the reason why LeBron most people gonna say that MJ is over LeBron LeBron way for a whole decade straight So Katie Q say Katie has never been the best player in the NBA any year of his career That's not true How do you get the best player in the NBA MVP year? I would have to look at the numbers I mean the best player bro, but in K.D. Sense I think I think he was don't compare Steve Nash to Kevin Durant The only other that's the people this is like that I'm talking about when I'm talking about the shame I'm talking about the biggest like it who's gonna speak 30 years without saying Kevin But can't like like the only other player that you could say that was better than K.D. In that MVP year in LeBron Yeah, there's no other person.

I think that's the one they look at okay, but there was a point of time It was Katie LeBron Katie LeBron. It was always LeBron, right? No, but shit when when when K.D. went to go to state and it was LeBron versus K.D.

In the finals and we seen K.D. With the Jimmy Playtime's and Dre mine all the mother dudes around there. Look he truly earned the grim reapers. Yes.

Yes. Yeah, you know better when he was It looked better and was a lot better when he was in okay, so you K.D. Should adjust He was killed so I live since it was like playing video game basketball. KDO one size step on else.

That's crazy So you say that when LeBron and D Wade and Chris boxes in Miami that's video game as well back in the day That shit was crazy to you Know That go to say where you're from anywhere, so that's why I feel like a video like Miami was video game like but because of Athletic ability of LeBron and D Wade especially that first year. It was like right like they dominated like paint You know saying attacking the basket. There was no other duo outside of MJ and Pippin better at attacking the hoop like that We've never seen a duo do that. Oh, you know, I said that back to people forget about this duo They both average over 25 a game grand Hill jay stack house.

That's crazy I was gonna say oh, Mello and a I know did it because a I that point wasn't really attacking I walk that back The best ball reference 49 I don't care. He was that almost 40 Finals run when I think average like 32 to 35 points This nigga was not gonna try to lose that series I thought they were gonna do a gentleman sleep on a heat when they won game one But it was opposite The boys will see on any of the asshole if you notice about that okay CT every year they got literally That's that further they got to the first round and second round But yeah, man like Katie should have stated go to state and just ran it up and it's like at that point What you go to? It's not Two titles and two thousand Because because money because you're not the leader in this argument that you were the best player Who was the best player but now who's seen it was left but that one without Probably Like this why I did deal that Steph Curry went as far as my life is just this last or two seasons ago Look, it's not a big, Steph Curry's legacy has already been solidified. Greatest shooter ever, arguably now in the conversation of the greatest point guard ever, and he won before and after KV.

There's, yes, there's no smut on Steph Curry's name, but there's smut on KV's name because, okay, you might have been the best player, but are you a leader? Because everywhere else that you've gone, it's been nothing but shortcoming. When you're the guy outside of that time, the two, three years ago in the state is questionable. Who's a bigger leader between Dream honest there?

They're both. They're both. No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, Draymond because it's what you see.

But that's the behind the system. What from Steph? Do you see, what from Steph does? Like, that's what a Draymond are in higher qualities, not necessarily what Steph proves with me.

That's what I'm saying. I was like, hold on. That's what it comes like. During those runs, Katie, was the best player.

Draymond was the heart and soul of the team, or I'll say, Steph was the face of the team. I think Draymond was like the heart and soul. Yes, that's what Draymond takes. He is the face of the team.

And I think the heart is the heart is going to stay where you're staying going. That's why I dream on is so valuable to the team and no one else. No 100%. It's because Draymond can say and do the things that Steph can.

Step. I don't know if y'all heard about the speech that he gave when they were playing the Sacramento Kings and he was like, look, if y'all want to be here, exactly. The blessing and they were talking to Jordan Poo primarily, but it was like, look, I got us to do y'all job. Don't worry about that.

No, I got the rest of it. And what do you do? 50.51, whatever. That's what Steph does, right?

Like he's more on court, more quiet, silent assassin way. He says what he says. You literally shut the fuck up because he's the guy. Draymond is the one that's going to get in the timeout in your grill.

Steph want to do that. It's not because it's not Steph. You know what I'm saying? It's not Steph.

And he has Draymond to do it for. And I got to go out and get 50. Exactly. I go back and forth with you.

Fucking up my energy. Hey, Draymond, go ahead and go back. Oh, there you go. Graded dick.

Graded dick. I'm just proud of this. That's crazy. That's crazy.

That's what it's bonkers, bro. Hey, man. You know what I'm saying? Like that give the mic little say.

Yeah. He looked like a country singer. All right. At least something like that's so.

Hey, right. There's so many. It's the most guards ever. I haven't seen outside of women.

Yana. Everybody has been guards going forward. And they all 6566. He was like one of the do's from.

Even his shirt is speckled like that. They're like, I was like, bro, you look wow. Well, you got our kind of little. You got to have a 15 game at least.

I'm going to call you Mr. Great. I need to use two of the James. That's the great.

He's a good ball player. Like I said, he disappeared. He's 13. I'm not calling you Mr.

Dick. He's going to get drafted to him. Later. Can I just say he got great length.

I think like great. They have a great length. It's good. I don't know.

He has. He's. Yeah, yeah. Every road.

He has. He's about to go to Toronto. He's having a half. But you know, a lot of these guards are like 66 not all.

That's it. All of them are in this draft. Yeah. Every dude with six.

And I like to say he got game, but he disappeared. He'll play first half. He'll get 16 first half for the second half. Oh, so he like.

He likes how they know. That's 100% 100% He's a minute. But number 10 Wilson is the best player on that team. What's the point?

What's the point? Who was not what's in his. Oh, he think. Oh, he think he's one of God's.

Yeah. He got it up. He's like, yeah, he's right. He got it up.

And my brother is huge. That's what his efficiency is. And it's true. He's like, he's wrong league.

That's what my brother said to it. And the league is just real street. And the wrong league. And that's what he nutted up this bad.

So hopefully he can do that on purpose. Yeah. I think he was talking about Miller. I remember Derrick Williams came in.

Did he come out of Arizona? Was it not Arizona? Was it not Arizona? Yeah, it was.

I remember the fuck out of this thing. He was talking to LeBron. It was easy. He was.

I thought he was going to play. But I'm going to tell you who got me. I already know. No, not AC law.

No, the other left. He's got me too. Yeah. He left.

He was number two overall. He got me. Bro. Man, yo, he was.

He was the fastest right on the right. Yeah. I like him. He's a undersized tweeter and he got no bounce.

Physically, he was a lot like Blake Griffin. The difference was Blake Griffin could jump out the gym. When you looked at his wingspan, Michael Beasley's wingspan is not that long. I thought I thought I thought I was more so into it.

It became that. It became that, but it wasn't that I first. He just he didn't have that ability. I thought he was I thought he was going to be cold.

Number two, no Miami. Miami. That's what I was saying. That was from all city cold.

That's what you had the right organization though. He had the right organization. But a lot of time. It's just the case.

It's just the case is just the wrong thing. That man and my NBA. That's a dangerous city to be in. I would say, the way wait is a godsend compared to what most niggas would be drafted or go to Miami and the NBA.

I was just saying, a lot was always good. It was hard, it was good. Oh, it was telling me the crowd to go to Miami and the NBA. But they never really drafted a high like that.

I started D-Wade. I thought it was it. Oh, nevermind. Justin Winslow wasn't that.

He was a derpier. I thought it was top 10. He was a derpier. He was a derpier.

I don't remember me. I don't remember you. He was a lottery kid. He might have been sick.

I don't remember what I was doing. He was always had mental issues. He came out later than it was happening. It was already issue going.
