1 00:00:08,759 --> 00:00:12,080 Give it a second. We gotta give it a sec yeah, I mean, 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,440 just in case. That's fair. Now they're here in this crap. 3 00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:23,120 Good go strong, Let me juice these numbers real quick, hold on and 4 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,120 hell yeah? All right, all right, I guess we can start the 5 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,399 recording part of it. Welcome to. I was hanging out on the live 6 00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:36,560 UM Welcome to episode. What is this one forty nine of clips and Dip? 7 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,119 We are fully back part of the two and three hoops Umpire Triumphant Return. 8 00:00:40,359 --> 00:00:42,799 I think the Lab of the Jam the pod had an episode yesterday, 9 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,640 so we're just giving it to you from all angles on the Clippers offseason. 10 00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:51,200 I am Chuck Mockler, joined by Adam Auslin Will Updike. We got a 11 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,479 lot of awesome stuff to talk about. We're gonna answering your questions. Michael 12 00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:58,000 Wingers out is the GM. There's rumors to go over, but the people 13 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:00,840 really want to know. Most importantly, how are you two doing? Will? 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,400 I'll start with you. It's been a while since the fans of senior, 15 00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:06,640 How are you doing? Buddy? Hasn't been a while. I feel 16 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,719 like the last time they saw me, he was the last time they saw 17 00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:15,439 everybody well, you know, I'll doing good, doing good man really boring 18 00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:21,000 Western Conference Finals. Yep, you know, would have been nice to be 19 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,000 a part of that. But maybe maybe another time, would it have We 20 00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:29,680 could have helped a boring factor or we would have made it much more exciting. 21 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,159 I mean, if the Clippers were in the Western Conference finals, Denver's 22 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,879 done though. So that's true, That's very true. Adam, have you 23 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,680 been you were in Tennessee. You've been globetrotting. Some people been out and 24 00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,040 about a little bit, taking some vacation time, kind of like the Lakers 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,239 are now. So it's been good. It's gonna be back with you guys. 26 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,519 I know, I missed the last show or Joseph and Carl were on, 27 00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:57,239 so I missed a lot. But I'm glad we got this one today 28 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,400 and a little bit of breaking news just about a half hour ago. Yeah, 29 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,519 let's get into that before we get into these awesome questions. People sent 30 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,200 us questions over on Twitter at Clippers Pod. Come hang out. It's a 31 00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:10,840 good time over there. Yeah. So, Michael Winger has agreed to become 32 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:17,599 the president of Monumental Basketball, which delivers him full leadership of the Washington Wizards. 33 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,479 As well as their ge league affiliate, the Go Go and w NBA 34 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,800 team, Like everybody in Washington, it's at the General's Like, I mean 35 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:34,120 it might like it might include that. But what this means for the Clippers 36 00:02:34,479 --> 00:02:38,039 is a lot of people kind of thought with like there's these Bob Myers rumors 37 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,919 that he's out at Golden State. A lot of Clippers fans now just want 38 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,400 Bob Meyers to come to the Clippers. But will correct me if I'm wrong 39 00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:51,319 in this thinking. We have Lawrence Frank, Like, I don't think Bob 40 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,400 Myers is gonna come be the one, the number two to Lawrence Frank, 41 00:02:55,479 --> 00:03:00,120 Like that doesn't I don't really see that as being like a big move in 42 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:07,159 terms of changing the Clippers what the Clippers have, um and we've talked about 43 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:10,280 this. There definitely are some clear issues on the roster. I don't know 44 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,840 that you need Bob Myers to really figure those out. They kind of bring 45 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,919 themselves out like a sore thumb. And I am still of the opinion man 46 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,599 that, Like it's just I don't think GMing is what's gonna save this franchise 47 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,000 really. I mean, I mean, like there are moves and tweets to 48 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,879 be made to be sure. Yeah, but like you know, if you 49 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,039 only have it just still comes back to for me, if if sixty six 50 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,639 percent of your payroll plays thirty three percent of the games, you know, 51 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,439 I don't know. I don't know what Bob Myers is going to do for 52 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:52,360 that. You have everybody some lemon water. I don't know. Well, 53 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,960 I would say, if you can get Bob Mars while keeping Laurence Frake, 54 00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:00,840 you do that. I don't know if that seems that seems like yeah, 55 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:06,039 so it's like two head GM guys. I just liked the idea of having 56 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,919 bigger having a bigger brain trust isn't a bad thing. If everyone's thinking the 57 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520 same thing nobody's thinking. I think it's good to have some checks and balances. 58 00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:16,879 Now, to be clear, Bob Myers didn't draft Steph Curry, he 59 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,560 didn't draft Clay Thompson. He did draft Raymond Green. He brought in Steve 60 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:28,040 Kerr, Andre Godala, Kevin Durant, Jordan Poole. He's made a lot 61 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:30,439 of great moves, but he wasn't the GM for the Splash Brothers. He 62 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,480 was the other understudy. Still, I think though, you know, he's 63 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,240 it's not just about the name. It's about what he's been able to accomplish 64 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,079 with the Golden State, the most recent dynasty in the NBA. So I 65 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,639 think if you have a chance to bring him in, you got to look 66 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,720 into that. I don't know if he's the panacea to Will's point, the 67 00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:59,000 cure all for the Clippers. I don't think anyone person is. I could 68 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,959 see the nick name come and now the wheels are turning with Will. Let's 69 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,600 get big started here. You know I can't spell past. Yeah, I 70 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,439 was like, what isn't that? But somebody who's a cure all for this 71 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,319 Clippers team. I don't think it's any one person. I don't think it's 72 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,600 any one player. I think it's more about just a little bit of good 73 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,160 luck, some good fortune, some health. We're seeing that in these playoffs 74 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:26,680 there are two teams and conference finals appearances, or there was with the Lakers 75 00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,680 being a seventh seed and the Miami Heat being the eighth seed. And I 76 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,120 said before the season, you know, no team has won a championship that 77 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,560 was outside the top three in the last thirty years, outside the Houston Rockets 78 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,040 back in ninety five and the Miami Heat are likely going to be in the 79 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,800 NBA Finals taking on the Denver Nuggets as an eighth seed. So the landscape 80 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,560 in the NBA has changed, and I guess my point is you gotta have 81 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:55,399 some good fortune along the way. Miami was almost bounced in the play in 82 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,600 tournament. They lost the first game to Atlanta and then won against the Chicago 83 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,759 bull So a lot of things have to go right. That's what we're hoping 84 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,720 is on the docket coming up for the Clippers this next season. You gotta 85 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:13,120 comment on the chat, Alan said, don't think Myers will retain Tye. 86 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,319 I mean it's possible. I just don't think that that's the GM's decision. 87 00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:24,639 And I do think that if you're if you're Steve Bomber or whoever else in 88 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,839 the brain trust is making these decisions, if you're staring at the decision of 89 00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:35,800 either getting rid of Lawrence Frank or getting rid of Tylu. Looking at the 90 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,519 body of work between the two guys so far, I don't know that Bob 91 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:46,759 Meyers fits into that equation. Yeah. Well, there's also talked too, 92 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,600 like the Tylu thing, which kind of goes into our next like rumor thing, 93 00:06:49,639 --> 00:06:55,879 a little bit like he might be seeking an extension or something like that. 94 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,879 No one really asked about this and the questions where I thought that was 95 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,160 interesting. Where are you guys at Do you think that's real or do you 96 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:06,160 think that's maybe more his representation, which it's clutch. I'm not into the 97 00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:11,120 whole like clutch conspiracy thing. They just want the most money for their guys, 98 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,319 which I don't think is that revolutionary an idea. Do you think with 99 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,240 all the openings that's just kind of posturing by them to see if the Clippers 100 00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:23,680 would entertain an extension with Tie because he's got two more years left and then 101 00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:26,879 it's whatever, So do you guys want Tie back? Adam? Do you 102 00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:30,639 think this was just kind of posturing on ty Lou's representation front. I think 103 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,600 when you have a head coach that would have a job tomorrow if he wasn't 104 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,759 with the Clippers, that's someone you need to retain. Everyone else in the 105 00:07:39,839 --> 00:07:43,920 NBA seems to know the worth of coach Lou. I think the Clippers do 106 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,800 as well, but you don't want to see him in a seven game series 107 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:51,120 on the other side of the court going against you. And for the shortcomings 108 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:58,199 and a lot of disgruntled members of Clipper Nation this season with how it went, 109 00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:03,000 and there were a lot of negatives and a lot of downsides to how 110 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,040 this season went. I think the biggest strength ty Low has is in a 111 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,519 seven game series, he gives you the best chance to win. And so 112 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,839 I think you got to hold on too that guy no matter what. And 113 00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:18,720 I don't know who you'd replace him with that would be better out there either. 114 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:20,920 What's your solution if you're moving on from him? Is Nick Nurse a 115 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,800 better coach? He's had a history with Kawhi Leonard, of course, but 116 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,279 I like coach lew in a seven game series over pretty much anyone. Eric 117 00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:35,399 Spoelstra probably regarded as the best coach in the NBA right now. A little 118 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,039 bit of recency bias there, but he's been that good for a while. 119 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:45,200 Outside of that, Is he available? Are you busy right now? Well? 120 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,000 His understudying Dan Craig is on the coaching staff with the Clippers the defensive. 121 00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:54,240 Do we think it's maybe something where he's got two years left? I'm 122 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,639 thinking the extension comes into play next year, right Like they see what they 123 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,120 can do with Kawai and PG, and you know, at least one more 124 00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:05,879 time and then will You're not like, if that goes well, venue extend 125 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,039 them out because right now it matches up with their contracts. Yeah, I 126 00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:13,440 don't know about this, Like I maybe this is the preamble to setting something 127 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:18,759 up for a potential extension. I would say, like this offseason, that 128 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:24,679 seems a little premature really from either side to either expect an extension with two 129 00:09:24,759 --> 00:09:28,639 years remaining or to go ahead and extend one once again with those two years 130 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:33,519 remaining, just because I don't know how it all works out in a legal 131 00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:37,879 or fiscal sense, like once you get those once they have another job, 132 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:43,279 blah blah blah blah blah. But it just get perspective in here's got to 133 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,120 do ten things move. I mean, things do move fast in the NBA. 134 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,360 So I but I think that you know, we talked about going in 135 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,279 this off season. I said I would be very surprised if Tylum wasn't on 136 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,440 the bench for this team next season. And I don't really see any of 137 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,679 this changing that. Um, I would be a little surprised if they did 138 00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:09,159 the extension this early. It just doesn't doesn't really seem necessary. And um, 139 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,840 yeah, I don't know, But to Adam's point, I think that 140 00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:16,559 for I know, a lot of people are kind of like over the tylu 141 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,279 sort of experience to a certain extent. Um. I just think like the 142 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,360 question that you have to ask yourself is like when you're looking in the field, 143 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,679 when you're like looking at the field of available people, because it's it's 144 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,879 not just about getting the guy out, you have to replace them with somebody. 145 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:37,919 Usually, Um, are you taking you know, in a in a 146 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,879 seven game series, are you taking one member of that field over tylu? 147 00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:46,840 Um? Is that something that you would be one hundred percent comfortable with? 148 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,519 And I gotta be honest, I'm not really seeing it right now. And 149 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,480 um, you know, I haven't watched as much Raptors since Kui has been 150 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,399 gone. I mean they've you know, they've had their own issues roster construction 151 00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:03,480 wise, blah blah blah blah blah blah uh and and on down the line. 152 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,840 But I think, I mean, just to make it, you know, 153 00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:13,159 just just for Clippers fans, the doc Rivers firing, which came so 154 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,159 immediate, like, which came pretty both value pretty quickly, and by all 155 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:24,440 reports, you know, they were ready to announce that even sooner, it 156 00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:28,399 seemed like from conversations than than when they when they did make the official announcement. 157 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:33,919 I think that was a situation where you could pretty you could, I 158 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,919 mean pretty objectively look at the field and say, I think I would be 159 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,840 fine with, you know, a couple of different candidates versus this guy, 160 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,679 if, if, if it comes to that in a seven game series, 161 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,480 and now the coach might hire Doc, which I hope happens. I hope 162 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,919 the Sun's hired Doc. Hunt. Please hire Doc. Hope you think the 163 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,159 locker rooms bad? Now, buck up, buddy. Yeah, I think 164 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,399 they end up going with Nick Nurse, who I do think is the best 165 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,759 available candidate out there with the least amount of baggage and drawbacks. But every 166 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:13,080 coach has their blind spot, every coach has their downside. It's just how 167 00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,879 fatal is it. Do you want a guy who's better in the regular season 168 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,759 or better in the postseason. I think that's what the conclusion was between Doc 169 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,799 and somebody like ty Lou. You want more strategist in a seven game series. 170 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,679 And even though it was a frustrating regular season and ultimately injuries derailed things 171 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:37,720 again for them, felt like most of Clipper Nation believed if they were healthy, 172 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,600 they were going to bounce Phoenix in the first round. And I would 173 00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:43,919 have loved have seen this kind against the Denver Nuggets, even with Jess Kawhi 174 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,159 Leonard, I think they were going to take down the Phoenix Suns. Yeah, 175 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,480 a couple more rumors and they'll get some questions. Apparently there's an NBA 176 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,080 insider who thinks that the Clippers would be a landing spot for Chris Paul. 177 00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:58,879 We talked about this a bit on Twitter the other week. No one wants 178 00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:05,039 this from the Clippers side, fandom wise, it seems I don't see how 179 00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:09,080 Personally, I don't see how adding a guy who's gonna be maybe injured during 180 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,480 the regular season helps this particular era of the Clippers. There's I mean, 181 00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:20,240 right, I feel like in the NBA there's like there's two extremes where ways 182 00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:22,320 to read smoke signals, right, Like, in some instances, a lot 183 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,480 of smoke means yeah, there's probably fire, there's probably something to Marcus Morris, 184 00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:28,759 to the Clippers exactly, and then there is the other opposite end where 185 00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,279 it's like, oh wow, a lot of smoke must mean that nothing has 186 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,159 happening. Absolutely in this direction, and you know, we saw that as 187 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,919 recently as this season with Fred van Vleet, and you know, we we 188 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,440 kind of thought things were much closer than than maybe they really ever were. 189 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:48,279 Um, I would be absolutely shocked by this move. I just I'm not 190 00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:52,559 I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing it makes too much money. Yeah, 191 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,360 I don't know how. I don't know how you even justify it contract 192 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:00,200 wise, To be perfectly honest with you, even if you're like that, 193 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,320 we could get a little bit more out of Chris Paul. I think, 194 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,480 you know, if you if you believe that this could be a better situation, 195 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:09,120 if you believe that he is, you know, the tone setter, 196 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:13,480 kind of regular, regular season guy, which maybe you can talk yourself into. 197 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,960 I don't know, but like just getting to the number I think is 198 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,639 going to prove to be just too difficult. The only way I'd see it 199 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,600 being feasible is it would include some combination of Marcus Morris Rocco and Eric Gordon 200 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,200 something like that, And Phoenix just wanted to unload CP three because they're having 201 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,320 a lot of turnover there, and DeAndre Ayton could get moved as well. 202 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,480 Maybe we'll talk about that in a little bit, but I wouldn't hate it 203 00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:46,120 for the right price. But he's making thirty million dollars and he just turned 204 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:52,960 thirty eight, and he just had another injury riddled season, And guys who 205 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,840 are injury prone in their prime aren't magically getting healthier as they get older, 206 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:03,080 regardless of your diet and switching over to eating vegan style like CP three Iran. 207 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:07,080 I know a lot of people have soured over him since he took off 208 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,320 a Clipper jersey, with how things ended with some of the antics on the 209 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,320 court, with them going up against him in the twenty twenty one Western Conference 210 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,240 Finals and how that ended. But I think if he was on the Clippers 211 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,480 roster in a different role, in the right spot, and they're not able 212 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,679 to bring back Russell Westbrooks. See, this is how you talk yourself into 213 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:35,399 really bad brandy listeners or viewers. This is uh, this is this is 214 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:41,759 textbook gaslighting yourself. I'm just saying, there's there's always a certain amount of 215 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,080 conditions there that make a situation seem a little bit more. He's not that 216 00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:50,240 he's not that bad. He'll be he'll be healthy with us, he'll be 217 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:54,679 addicted, he's addicted to go into the finals. Bro, Look, if 218 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:58,440 you're not giving up much at all to get Chris Paul, I think you'd 219 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:03,519 do it. If you're not really giving up anything, which that's impossible. 220 00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:06,840 That's the trade that I put out there. If they're willing to just dump 221 00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:10,559 them for salary, if they don't think highly of them anymore. I don't 222 00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:15,399 think it's that crazy. I don't know. We'll see when we Man. 223 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,720 I hope we don't get Chris Paul so for this. This next rumor, 224 00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:22,679 this also goes to my first question. There's a rumor that the Blazers want 225 00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:27,519 in Elite small forward and are willing to move the number three pick and Anthony 226 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,799 Simons for it, noted one of will Updike's favorite guys, Anthony Simons. 227 00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:37,679 Jesse Beer asked us, do you think the Clippers should explore Paul George to 228 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,120 Portland for the number three pick and Simons? Maybe the Clips then flip the 229 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,960 number three picks somewhere for another player. Let's start with the first part. 230 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,639 Do we think the Clippers should explore Paul George to Portland for the number three 231 00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:56,879 pick? No? And Anthony Simons? No thinking no, No, Man 232 00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:00,120 they'd have to add also, they also have to add had nerk it right 233 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:06,960 because of salary, Like it'd be nerk Simons and the number three picks. 234 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,359 So I mean, I guess, I guess I get the availability. Um, 235 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,079 these are just both two players that they don't align with where the like 236 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:17,680 where the Clippers are at right now. I mean, if if it's to 237 00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:21,359 set up another move wherein you move Kawhi as well, then sure, I 238 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,039 mean that's a great that's a great start, that's a great base. Um, 239 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,200 you know, you still have to make salaries work, which his Simmons, 240 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,480 his Simmons extension kicked in, I'm not sure, but anyways, I 241 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,559 like, if everything else stays largely the same and that's the move, I 242 00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:44,519 don't really see that that that in no way closers the like gets the Clippers 243 00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:47,400 any closer to their coal. Yeah, he's at twenty four, So he's 244 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,240 at twenty four than twenty five point okay? And then yeah, so it 245 00:17:51,279 --> 00:17:52,319 has kicked in, all right? Cool? Cool? Cool? Um, 246 00:17:52,680 --> 00:18:02,799 so you still got to come up with another twelve yeah in salary with unless 247 00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:07,160 it's a precursor to bigger move where they blow the whole thing up. It 248 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,400 doesn't make a lot of sense because if that's what happened gets you closer to 249 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:18,079 a championship, having Anfrey Simmons and whoever the number three pick becomes. The 250 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,160 number three pick is just not getting reps on this on this team as currently 251 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,200 constructed, Like they're not Google would, they can't find playing time for them, 252 00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:30,480 Like there's just it's it doesn't make any damn sense to me, unless 253 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:36,400 unless it's unless it's the precursor to another move. Yeah, so what about 254 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,079 the idea that you move three for another player? But we don't have any 255 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,240 concu So you're just downrading and downgrading is what I'm saying. You're getting PG 256 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:48,599 and I'm taking the weird value. The worst player who's like younger is going 257 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,880 to have a lot of issues, you know, in their first real postseason 258 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,119 run, assuming the Clippers can even get that far with a with a nucleus 259 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,319 of that, and then you're gonna flip the number three pick, which is 260 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:07,759 worthless essentially after you've drafted it. I just ye, once again, it 261 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,200 just doesn't get us any closer. I like Anthony Simons a lot in the 262 00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:15,400 right situation, but you mentioned his playoff experience. He's been in fifteen games 263 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:21,519 total, averaging five points per games. As good as he has looked offensively, 264 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:26,720 I think he averaged around twenty last year in efficient twenty, but he 265 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,400 doesn't offer a lot on the defensive end. You're going to have a steep 266 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,119 drop off there. Giving up Paul George on that side of the ball, 267 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,559 you're creating new problems and you're not getting any closer. You're getting further away 268 00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,480 from winning a championship this season. As much as you want to say, 269 00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:44,960 well, Paul George's injury prone, Kawhi's injury prone, and those are the 270 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,319 facts at this point. But at least with them, if they're available, 271 00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:53,000 you have a chance. Anthony Simons could be available for all eighty two and 272 00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:57,119 all the playoff games, and you're not winning. That's the truth. If 273 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,079 you're giving up Paul George to get him, you already know what your ceiling 274 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,160 is. So that's the difference right there to me, and I think he's 275 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,680 one of the better young players. He is has a ton of talent offensively, 276 00:20:08,839 --> 00:20:14,519 but it's mostly one dimensional right now with just his scoring ability. He's 277 00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:18,319 not a great playmaker and he can't do much on the defensive end. Yeah, 278 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,839 it's a it's a swing that I like you guys said, if we 279 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,119 if I guess we did this straight and then moved Kauai, then we're just 280 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:32,920 in full like rebuild Bode. Basically, we've just instituted like a really quick 281 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,839 rebuild boat with a coach who called me crazy. I don't think tylu wants 282 00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:41,359 to coach a team that just traded away the guys that haven't really been available 283 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:47,599 since he's been there anyway for rookies. And what does this mean for Kauai 284 00:20:47,759 --> 00:20:52,839 who wanted to play with Paul George If you're keeping Kawa is heartless. So 285 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,720 I don't and I don't mean that been a bad way. It's just how 286 00:20:56,759 --> 00:21:00,279 big hear me out on this one. But his normal Powell an elite small 287 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:08,599 forward some set you could you could skew that you could do norm to norm 288 00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:12,680 for fucking silence and the three. Yeah, call it in if it works 289 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,480 per the rules, call it in right now. I know Portland's had a 290 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,720 lot of turnover with the front office, but I think they're pretty familiar with 291 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:23,799 Norman Powell, and maybe that one gets lost in the shuffle. They're just 292 00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:26,880 so busy. They're like, ah, sure, yeah, no, that 293 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,400 seems good. Who's this Robert Cummington guys, Yeah, let's do it. 294 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,680 Yeah, then they make an happen. I like that idea. Will Um 295 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,839 coming up. We got a whole bunch of mail bag questions to go over. 296 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:45,680 We're talking draft people, we're talking Adam's offseason regime. We got a 297 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,079 question about which is gonna be interesting. But first our advertisements, So if 298 00:21:48,079 --> 00:21:51,720 those have been loud for you as they have been for some people, go 299 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,400 ahead and turn it down. We got ads coming up with more questions. 300 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:59,079 Ads coming up in three two one. All right, we're back. We're 301 00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:02,480 on Clips and din. We are live right now. We're on live on 302 00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:06,559 Twitter, live on YouTube. You'll you can listen to this podcast. Where 303 00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:08,519 to get podcast any guys. We're taking some questions right now, a little 304 00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:14,119 bit of mail bag madness minutes. But before we get into these questions that 305 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,519 Charles so thoughtfully put into the rundown, Thank you, Charles. X Mongo 306 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:25,880 Project wants to know if Boston falls, is anyone there a realistic if Boston 307 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,680 falls. X Mongo still believes, I don't know. Do you think I 308 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:37,359 think they're firing their coach before they trade anybody I agree they don't like for 309 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,440 the right price. It seems like Jalen Brown could be dangled at this point 310 00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:47,640 if they lose in Game five at home, or lose poorly. Even that 311 00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:51,799 just them extending in the series isn't gonna mask anything that's going on there. 312 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,799 I don't think they should if you have two guys that are still I think 313 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,359 both under twenty eight years of age, with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum at 314 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:07,160 the wings, like sixteen right, yeah, sixteen plus three he gets nineteen, 315 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,039 he's only nineteen. Yeah. If when you have two elite players at 316 00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:14,240 that position, I would keep them together and stay the course and run it 317 00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:18,079 back. But I could see them being in Boston in that big market. 318 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:22,279 They've won one championship I think over the last about forty years now in two 319 00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:27,519 thousand and eight, they're growing impatient there. Would I would make a call 320 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,920 and see what's going on with Jalen Brown, the other guys. Grant Williams, 321 00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:34,880 I know he fired up Jimmy Butler because that's the only way Jimmy Butler 322 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,799 would play really hard out there, because if he had some guy talking as 323 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,440 to him. But Grant Williams. I think we talked about him before. 324 00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:48,200 He's gonna be an unrestricted free agent, so he's very much attainable this summer. 325 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,200 I don't know what price he's gonna be at, but he's someone who 326 00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:56,559 plays bigger than his size. You know, he plays a wind. Lawrence 327 00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:59,519 Frank or l Frank talk about it as a size up, can defend a 328 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,279 size up or a position up. He's someone that can do that. I 329 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,279 like him. Yeah. His so his qualifying offer would be eight point four 330 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,440 million, and I bet he can get a lot more than that. So 331 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,799 I wonder if the Clips can afford him. Um? Yeah, Jaylen Brown, 332 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:15,519 I think Marcus Smart would never come. I don't think we could get 333 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,000 Marcus Smart, but I would love him in a Clippers uniform. Um, 334 00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,839 he'd be a nice clip to have. Will Do you think there's anyone from 335 00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:26,559 Boston that's a realistic get Blake? Uh? If we got Al Horford, 336 00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:32,680 I would get the jersey immediately. I don't know. I mean, yeah, 337 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,440 Horford goes, what does he bring? Yeah? Um? Uh like 338 00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:42,680 as a realistic that those aren't parts that I'm really that interested in picking picking. 339 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,640 Uh, to be honest. Graham Williams. I think there's something there. 340 00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:49,039 I think it's a little out of what we can afford to pay. 341 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,240 Yeah, I think that's fair. I agree with you there. Yeah. 342 00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:57,559 How do you feel about Jaylen Brown if there was some type of trade available 343 00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:04,039 with Paul George, A young Brown, a younger more beata Paul George, 344 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:11,640 I'll pass. Thanks, thanks, though that came out where god, oh 345 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:18,359 wow, even an even worse handle. You think turnovers are bad, Let's 346 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,759 tell you got Jalen Brown handling the ball, hurling the ball. I like 347 00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:27,640 Jaylen Brown as a human being, and I like him as a piece like 348 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:30,599 I think that he you know, if Boston doesn't decide to move on to 349 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,799 him, which I think is maybe a knee jerk reaction to a team that 350 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,400 you know, you're just meeting a team that's really hitting their stride and went 351 00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:45,319 through Yeah really really, They're like teams sometimes catch fire at the right time, 352 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,160 and that is happening right now for for the heat um and I you 353 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,279 know, I think that it would be maybe a little premature to make that 354 00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:57,400 move. I think for where the Clippers are at right now and looking at 355 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,319 you know, hey, if they need to keep if they're going to try 356 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,359 to keep this nucleus intact. You know, there's obviously no way to get 357 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,400 Jalen Um, to get Jalen Brown moving, Paul George, I mean, 358 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,440 you're still gonna have to give up assets to make that work because the age 359 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,279 discrepancy. You're locked into a long term contract that's even more dollars per year. 360 00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:21,400 I believe so. I yeah, that would be a that would be 361 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,839 a pass for me. I think he's due for an extension which could bring 362 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,839 him up to three hundred million dollar player. That's something he's been angling for 363 00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,039 over this past season, and he's looked a little bit disgruntled over that. 364 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,079 Uh. I don't know. It's it's interesting. At least I like him 365 00:26:37,079 --> 00:26:42,240 a lot as a player, and it just it increases your window because he's 366 00:26:42,319 --> 00:26:45,000 the younger version. I guess if Paul George, if you want to put 367 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:52,000 it like that, that's true. M drift two to music asks should the 368 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:56,000 Clippers run it back by resigning Russ and Plum, make a big swing trade 369 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,480 at the draft, or tear it down assets why you can and start over 370 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:06,400 Cough, trade the third pick in Simon's Cough and then West choate had a 371 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,279 similar question, would it be so bad if we just ran it back? 372 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,319 Morris is the only question mark since he wasn't getting much run in the playoffs. 373 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:17,559 I'm gonna say, for the Drift t to Music thing, I don't 374 00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:21,519 know if we can resign Russ. I don't know what a big swing trade 375 00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,519 at the draft looks like. If I'm being honest, I don't know what 376 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,240 that looks like for the Clippers. So I think we have to do a 377 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:33,119 combination of a and then what West Choke said, which is run it back. 378 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:36,720 Morris isn't the only question mark. Though. We need to move Morris, 379 00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:40,759 we need to move Roco, we need to move the tomb. Other 380 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:44,559 than that, hopefully we can resign Plumb. But the way that this front 381 00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:48,079 office works, I think we're Clippers fan should be more prepared for that scenario 382 00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:55,599 than for some draft night heroics, you know what I mean? Or like 383 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,160 messiness. I just don't see it becoming as mad because people maybe want it 384 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:06,000 to be this off season. Yeah, I don't think so. To Drift 385 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,240 to the Music's question, I like the b option of making a big swing 386 00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:17,000 at the draft, I just don't I don't know that the same option because 387 00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:22,000 I don't actually think that the last and so be like make a big, 388 00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:23,839 big swing at the draft. I don't know that the Clippers are there yet. 389 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,119 I think if they're going to keep one of the superstars, I would 390 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,200 assume at least until the trade deadline that they keep both of them. I 391 00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:36,799 think, once again, you can talk yourself into you know, haven't had 392 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,720 enough time healthy together, had like they've had one healthy postseason together UM and 393 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,000 circumstances beyond their control UM really sort of eroded that whole thing. So I 394 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:56,079 think I think that we're like the most realistic outcome is probably the run it 395 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,480 back. But I don't know that we can resign Russ and plum Um, 396 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,119 right. I like the idea of a big swing UM, you know, 397 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:14,559 I like the idea of shopping Paul George. I don't I don't supersede the 398 00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:18,279 move right now that like a team is actually like willing to take on Um 399 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,680 for a player of the same caliber Um. I think that that's going to 400 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,640 be really difficult. So I think that so my version of running back doesn't 401 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,920 necessarily have to involve Russ and plum Um. I think it's just hard to 402 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,160 do. We just can't and I don't know. The thing that I keep 403 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,920 coming back to is the talent is still there. You just need to consolidate 404 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,480 and upgrade at a couple of things. So that to me is still basically 405 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:51,480 a run it back with just changing the supporting cast um, which is definitely 406 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,519 something that needs to happen. Uh, you know it's not gonna happen. 407 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,200 And I I like the idea of a teardown. I still think that maybe 408 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:07,720 it's premature just because of sort of like the bad taste if you're a GM 409 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,480 in your mouth like that you get of that you had from this season of 410 00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:14,240 Kaway and Paul George. Like, I think people are a little less. 411 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:21,559 I don't think you're selling there at at your most leverage or advantageous position. 412 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,720 Yeah, if you're committed to still trying to win a championship in the two 413 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,759 one three era, then making a big swing, even if you're sacrificing more 414 00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:36,799 draft picks the thirtieth this year, the twenty thirty first round pick, and 415 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,960 maybe Terrence Man to make the trade work that I can buy that that makes 416 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:47,000 sense to me if you're going after Bradley Beale or Karl Anthony Towns or Zach 417 00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:49,559 Levine or Damian Lillard, even though it looks like they're doubling down and trying 418 00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:53,920 to get him a better supporting cast, that those would be the guys that 419 00:30:53,960 --> 00:31:00,920 I would guess are most available, that you know, realistically, big trades 420 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:06,039 and big moves could be made for But I like what Will said about consolidating 421 00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:08,359 talent. I was against that coming into this season because I thought they would 422 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:14,759 use their depth more, but after seeing them not play Robert Covington and not 423 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,680 play some guys heavier minutes that could have used them, if they're not going 424 00:31:18,759 --> 00:31:23,200 to do that, then you mind as well try to upgrade at positions and 425 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,240 death be damned, because the other situation with that is if you take away 426 00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:33,319 some of their more veteran depth, then it forces you to have to play 427 00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:37,480 younger guys and to get younger and Brandon Boston to get some minutes in a 428 00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:41,039 mere coffee to get some minutes, and they hardly played at all last season, 429 00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:45,720 And I think with the new cap restrictions that are out there, it's 430 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:48,240 more important than ever to have somewhat of a youth movement, to have guys 431 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,119 on cheaper contracts who are playable who you're able to get out there on the 432 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,559 court and get reps with and not have the wheels come off. Because you 433 00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:00,759 know, Brandon Boston's one of the best G League players. There's something there 434 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:05,400 with him. I think at some point Rubbers gonna meet Road and they're gonna 435 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,559 have to play some of these young guys. But it would certainly expedite the 436 00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:13,079 process if they traded away as some of the more veteran talent on this team 437 00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:16,519 that adds that depth. I'm down for consolidating. I think it makes a 438 00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:22,160 lot more sense. Now. We got asked kind of about consolidating resist ninety 439 00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:28,519 respect offered up two options, Eton and Karl Anthony. Town's stock is low, 440 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,880 he said, for good reason. But we need a big man who 441 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:36,119 fits our team better after a consolidation trade. He also said that Jonathan Isaac 442 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,119 looks elite. He gets the injury risk, but he's young. He's one 443 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:44,000 of few who shown he can guard Yannis. Should we target him. I 444 00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:45,440 think we all kind of feel the same way about Cat, don't we? 445 00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:47,799 Or wait, Adam, do you like do you want Cat on the team? 446 00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:51,559 Between Cat or Eton, who would you want the Clippers to make a 447 00:32:51,599 --> 00:32:58,880 play for I guess I think Eton makes less money right now and probably is 448 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,559 a better fit overall. If you're not keeping a Vitza Zoobots and you're just 449 00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:08,039 bringing in Carl Anthony Towns, I think that changes your team pretty dramatically because 450 00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:13,319 he's not a great defender. Could he get better in that area? I 451 00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:16,599 don't know what he's twenty seven years of age. He probably this is who 452 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,359 he is at this point. Deans are at eight and though his value is 453 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:28,799 so down expiring, Cat's on the last year of a five for one fifty 454 00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:31,839 eight. So then you've got to make decision. If you trade for Kat, 455 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:37,039 you're gonna give him the max, which you wouldn't call it. If 456 00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:42,319 we're giving Karl Athony Towns a max after like that, we're not gonna win 457 00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:46,039 anything. And look, he's another good friend of PG thirteens. They brought 458 00:33:46,079 --> 00:33:51,960 in Reggie Jackson, they brought in who else, John Wall, guys who 459 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:57,400 are friends with him. But probably that contract situation you just mentioned it makes 460 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,440 the decision a lot easier for me. DeAndre eight is more of a need. 461 00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:06,559 We saw in that playoff series of Eats Zoobos just he didn't have a 462 00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:10,440 good round. Yeah, yes, he's signed. I forgot. He signed 463 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,079 the four year, two hundred and twenty four million dollar contract that kicks in 464 00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:22,719 twenty four, twenty five, So you're paying him fifty fifty four fifty eight 465 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:29,880 sixty two. If you were to sign trade for Karl Anthony Towns, that 466 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,760 just upbands the dynamic of your team so much too. Aside from the cap 467 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,239 situation, he's a stretch five type, a stretch four. Maybe he's a 468 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,280 stretch five who doesn't defend. Yeah, he's not a rent protector. That's 469 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,039 not who he's been. DeAndre Aighton would be the more seamless fit. And 470 00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:54,400 I think whoever gets him next after his time emphasis on time in Phoenix with 471 00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:59,000 kind of how he's been treated there and how things haven't worked out. Of 472 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,400 course, Molly Williams is on now, so maybe the next head coach gets 473 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,400 a better opportunity with DeAndre eten to see what he hid and bring out of 474 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,320 him. But he's eighteen and ten already without I think, being fully realized 475 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,880 and optimized and is someone who could be a great innings eater during the regular 476 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,519 season. You know when one of your stars or both of your stars are 477 00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:24,719 out DeAndre Ayton could be eaten. He could be getting twenty five and twelve 478 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:29,400 type of games out there and just be really reliable in that way, as 479 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,280 much as we like to think about it, eats the zoobots and his potential 480 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,639 offensively, DeAndre Ayten's kind of there in a lot of different ways. For 481 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,519 his shortcomings and not playing up to his physicality level that he's capable of a 482 00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:45,000 lot of the times, I do think there's more to him as a player, 483 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,559 and whoever gets him after Phoenix, he may light the world on fire 484 00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,760 for a little bit because he's just away from the Suns and whatever is going 485 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:59,559 on there with conflicts and personality differences. Yeah, eight and on the clips 486 00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:01,639 wouldn't be bad. I mean, you put him if we creep in Kawai 487 00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:07,920 and pg NU scenario, the defense is pretty nice. Um for that for 488 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,119 those three. Um Any thoughts on Jonathan Isaac Oh, I didn't get my 489 00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:16,480 thoughts thoughts. We know you hate Karl Anthony town which is totally Yeah. 490 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,840 We we talked to we we took we talked a bunch about Karl Anthony Towns. 491 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:27,920 After he was on the podcast P podcast by Paul George um and Uh, 492 00:36:29,039 --> 00:36:30,639 yeah, that's just not he's not my he's not my kind of guy. 493 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,000 I don't think that that really, I don't think that that really helps 494 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,880 helps the team. Um. I guess maybe if you in a scenario where 495 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:47,159 you still keep PG and Kawhi, like I still I don't know. I'm 496 00:36:47,199 --> 00:36:51,400 just not seeing that as a fit. It's so much money. I'm just 497 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:59,320 not um for eight in in the a world where a cap doesn't exist and 498 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,360 we don't have to give up either one of Paul George or Kauai. I 499 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,280 kind of love it. I kind of like, right, I love it, 500 00:37:06,679 --> 00:37:09,880 Um, I love but that's just not the situation. There's no way 501 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,039 we can get to that fifty million dollars a year or whatever number. And 502 00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:17,639 like, looking at it, for fifty million dollars a year, is he 503 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,199 five times better than a Vitza zubots. I mean, he's kind of been 504 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:27,719 benched in the playoffs now in back to in back to back runs for his 505 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,559 team, So I don't know. He also like demands the ball a lot. 506 00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:34,559 He kind of you know, he gets pouty when he's not involved in 507 00:37:34,599 --> 00:37:39,519 the Yeah, he's not a quiet center. Yeah, And I think I 508 00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:45,519 think that that could present issues. Um, and just that's just an astronomical 509 00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:49,519 amount of money, if you may, if you still have like Paul George 510 00:37:49,559 --> 00:37:52,000 and Kauhi, like I, how much is Aton making? How much? 511 00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:54,440 How much longer is his deal? They just gave it to him this last 512 00:37:54,440 --> 00:38:00,440 summer. He just got on that, but just below max deal. It's 513 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:06,159 like thirty two mil next year, thirty four the year after, thirty five 514 00:38:06,199 --> 00:38:08,000 and a half the year after that. Okay, so less than I said, 515 00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:14,440 so three three of zasz basses, Yeah, not five. I just 516 00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:17,280 got a feeling with him as much as he could seem like a malcontent. 517 00:38:17,559 --> 00:38:22,559 Now there's been a lot of issues there in Phoenix. I think, well, 518 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,320 you're you're absolutely right, and they and they drug their feed on that 519 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:31,920 extension. They really handled that. Yeah, they had the absolute poorest of 520 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,400 ways. Um And I think, you know, I think part of that 521 00:38:36,559 --> 00:38:40,760 was just the discontent from you know, he's never gonna be able to shake 522 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:45,039 off the stink with that franchise, from that draft and knowing you know what 523 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,519 was right there for you. Um. And that's not his fault, that's 524 00:38:50,559 --> 00:38:52,400 not on him. There's there's nothing he can do about that. But I 525 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,239 I mean that that kind of thing stays with a guy I think, and 526 00:38:58,639 --> 00:39:01,280 I think that that does kind of perm and um, I mean, you 527 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,039 know, I'm sure he's heard stuff from fans and all sorts of stuff talking 528 00:39:06,039 --> 00:39:10,440 about Jonathan Isaac though, man, the guy has played forty five games in 529 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:15,280 the last four years. Yeah, I don't. And I also don't know 530 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,239 if he's looked elite. I also know Jonathan Isaaki is a good player. 531 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,400 Yeah he I don't know if he looks elite. He's a great defender. 532 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,000 But I also like he's one of the few who shown he can guardian Us. 533 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,880 I don't care who can guard Yannis when it comes to adding guys to 534 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:37,039 the Clippers, I don't Why would I care about that? Yeah, if 535 00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:43,159 he can, well sure, But like I don't, and I get Jonathan 536 00:39:43,159 --> 00:39:47,199 Isaac. He's also Jonathan Isaac off court brings your team some annoying stuff. 537 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,440 For those of you who have kept up with it, he's not. He's 538 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,760 a guy who brings stuff to the team outside of the court that I don't 539 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,320 think the Clippers want. Yeah, maybe he'll convert to the Church of Scientology 540 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,039 and become like a huge movie star. That would be sick. Good for 541 00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:07,320 him, he had a lot of commercials lately. Yeah, if you think 542 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:13,400 you know about scientology, I'm pretty sure, But yeah I don't. I 543 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:20,280 don't think they want a Fox News pundit on the team. Timmy Kang asks, 544 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,840 do you think the answer to our athleticism at the four is putting Kawai 545 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,960 there? Since our defense is so switch heavy, you wouldn't have to always 546 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,880 guard the four and give me switched onto a three for possessions to ease the 547 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,440 load. We've talked about this a little bit. Um. Yeah, I 548 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:37,079 don't think it matters. I don't think it matters. Theoretically we should be 549 00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:39,320 switching a bunch of stuff anyway, But in crunch time, he's gonna guard 550 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:44,280 whoever's the best player that night for the other team. I think it matters 551 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:50,599 to a point. I'm just not sure which position actually would be more beneficial 552 00:40:51,039 --> 00:40:54,599 when it comes to keeping Kawhi healthy. Is it less physical to move less 553 00:40:54,639 --> 00:40:59,000 but have to bang in the post versus being on the perimeter and moving a 554 00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:02,400 little bit more play against smaller guys. I'm not sure you had the stat. 555 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,159 I think thirty percent of the time last season was it around there? 556 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,119 Chuck that he played Yeah, yeah, for the position tracking data, which 557 00:41:10,679 --> 00:41:15,280 which is weird, Yeah, could be a little bit skewed. I heard 558 00:41:15,639 --> 00:41:20,119 big shot Bob Plum Robert Flum on the Lab the Jam the Pod made a 559 00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:24,679 good point that one of the advantages the Clippers have had with Kawai at the 560 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:30,880 two and Paul George at the three is that they're big for those positions. 561 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:36,159 That the difference is when he's at the four, now he's small for that 562 00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:42,199 position, Like they're they're taking away some of those advantages of having them being 563 00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:45,679 bigger players at the two and the three. If all of a sudden thing, 564 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:51,719 Kawhi is playing the four more and she's just kind of like Lebron, 565 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,559 you know, like Lebron essentially shifted down in position, like as you get 566 00:41:54,599 --> 00:41:59,559 older and a little less mobile. I mean, I'm of the opinion that 567 00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:02,559 I I think it's a little bit just a number. I think you just 568 00:42:02,639 --> 00:42:07,679 need to have the most quality, unless, of course we're talking about three, 569 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:15,159 four, five guards um. But I yeah, I also think that 570 00:42:15,159 --> 00:42:19,920 that's one of those easy adjustments. Like you cansolidate talent, you get us, 571 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,400 you still have to trade those guys out too, Like It's not like 572 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,119 if COWI moved to the four that like Yoko, Morris and Nico all of 573 00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:30,519 a sudden become totally fine and playable in the playoffs. Yeah. Yeah, 574 00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:32,480 So, I mean, if you can trim some of the fat, get 575 00:42:32,519 --> 00:42:37,880 your best players on the floor as often as possible, you know, insert 576 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:42,039 Terrence at the two. If Russ stays um, you know, kind of 577 00:42:42,039 --> 00:42:45,639 shift a little bit. I think that that is one of those things that 578 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,960 if you're looking at not making a big swing, that has to be on 579 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,880 your mind. You have to say, you know, like, how can 580 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,239 we tweak this around the margins? How can we um, you know, 581 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:59,159 better utilize what we've already got, because it seems like, for whatever reason, 582 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,079 in year what next year will be year five, they're still kind of 583 00:43:02,199 --> 00:43:05,760 at the drawing board with it a little bit. Yeah, they got to 584 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,440 improve internally, regardless of who the you know, if the big pieces are 585 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,360 still there on the roster, regardless of what little moves they make this summer, 586 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,559 they have to get better clips or die. Says Moosa at the floors. 587 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:21,559 The answer lol, crying emoji face. Let's do it? Awesome if 588 00:43:21,559 --> 00:43:24,480 he was Yeah, God, would it be great if he was Clips or 589 00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:29,920 Die. For those of you listening Clips or Die sent us that on YouTube. 590 00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:34,400 We are on YouTube. You can find us at Clippers Podcasts on YouTube. 591 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,760 We got a couple more questions here. DJF Primal shout out. DJF 592 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:43,519 Primal, longtime listener wants to note, very bluntly, how are the Clippers 593 00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:47,719 going to screw up their draft pick this year? The Clippers have the thirtieth 594 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:52,639 and forty eighth pick. It is not even possible, man, not exactly 595 00:43:53,800 --> 00:44:00,199 lighting it up. Well, the fact that they already traded back to that 596 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,639 count is I don't know, man. So for those of you who don't 597 00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:08,679 know, I did fifteen minutes of draft research and the Clippers and who they've 598 00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:14,760 talked to us. Light star Yamie Jack has has been mocked to the Clippers 599 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,159 a bunch of times. People. That's kind of where he's gonna get drafted. 600 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:22,000 They think he's in La Chimie Hawk is right? Yeah, sorry, 601 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,960 why did not take Himie Hawk? As that makes sense. They've also have 602 00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:29,800 plans to work out or have talked to Craig Porter Junior, a multi year 603 00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,840 point guard out of which Tas State who's a streaky shooter. But does the 604 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:37,119 little things well, very very much a Clippers draft pick. It feels like 605 00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:42,159 Jordan Hawkins from Yukon met with the Clippers. This was from the draft profile 606 00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:45,480 I read. He's one of the better three point shooters in this draft class 607 00:44:45,559 --> 00:44:50,920 and is the best movement shooter. He's eliteic coming off streams, catching and 608 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,320 firing lasers from deep. He can handle his own defensively. Projected to be 609 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,719 a lottery to mid round first pick, though I'm not sure he'd be there. 610 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,920 And then Grant, how's this guy falling to the Clippers. He's thirty 611 00:45:02,079 --> 00:45:07,280 yeah, yeah, And then Grant Nelson had a meeting with the Clippers. 612 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,480 How if you guys saw this guy? He went kind of viral. He 613 00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:15,840 goes to NDSU. He's like six eleven and just has like crazy handle and 614 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,519 can score it all three levels. Like you watch these highlights and it's like 615 00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:22,440 a guy who you're like, you maybe could have gone to a better school. 616 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:27,599 Um feels like a projected late first or early second round pick. It 617 00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:30,360 feels kind of like a guy the Clippers would take. He's a six eleven 618 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:36,079 guy who can handle. His highlights are pretty I'm fine with it, dude, 619 00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:38,039 bring more. Uh yeah, people from the middle, you know, 620 00:45:38,119 --> 00:45:42,559 from Montana and North Kota states like that. Um well, I don't know 621 00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:45,679 about that, but how are they going, Well, not North Dakota, 622 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:49,239 but how are they going to screw it up at him by not trading the 623 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:53,000 pick. If you're in win now mode, that is an asset. Use 624 00:45:53,079 --> 00:45:58,000 it to get a guy who's more ready to play. Now. I understand 625 00:45:58,039 --> 00:46:00,480 the thought of you want to take advantage when you do have first round picks 626 00:46:00,519 --> 00:46:05,159 currently, but they already correct me if I'm wrong. This was gonna be 627 00:46:05,159 --> 00:46:08,239 pick eighteen, but after the three way trade with Memphis and Houston to get 628 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,480 Eric Gordon in a couple of second round picks, they got bumped back to 629 00:46:12,559 --> 00:46:19,000 pick number thirty. So I don't think they necessarily value picks is much now 630 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:24,079 in the two one three era because it's a championship or bus season every single 631 00:46:24,159 --> 00:46:29,360 year, and this is gonna be year five. So if somebody else really 632 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,159 covers that thirtieth pick and they're trying to get a young player, they can 633 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:37,519 mold when it's such a craft shoot in the draft. And I have looked 634 00:46:37,519 --> 00:46:39,800 this up and done the research before, but from two thousand and six to 635 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,440 twenty sixteen, you had about a five percent chance of drafting an All Star. 636 00:46:44,519 --> 00:46:49,400 That's a ten year period. Six hundred players drafted, about five percent 637 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,000 of them became All Stars. Even if you're taking a top ten guy, 638 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:58,000 less than twenty five percent of them became All Stars in a ten year period. 639 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,480 It's so difficult to draft. So whenever people go after the Clippers and 640 00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:06,880 how many guys they have missed on, it's like everybody is missing all the 641 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,880 time. Again, if you're hitting three hundred, like at the plate in 642 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,400 baseball, that's pretty good in the draft, you would sign up for that. 643 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,880 And we just mentioned a guy who we all like in Musadiabat, And 644 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:22,639 then you bring up Terrence Man who was drafted late, or a mere coffee 645 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:28,559 Brandon Boston like they've they've gotten some some value later in draft before, so 646 00:47:28,599 --> 00:47:36,960 those second round picks could be put to use. Here's four guys they get, 647 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,079 the second coming to Terrence Man, they get, they get Terrence Man 648 00:47:39,079 --> 00:47:44,360 too, T two the best terminator and he sits on the bench. He 649 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,039 sits on the bench. Kawai and Paul George both go down for extended stretches. 650 00:47:47,119 --> 00:47:53,960 He sees no increase in minutes. That's just how they do a nightmare 651 00:47:53,960 --> 00:48:00,079 of that. I that I'm all too familiar with the blueprint many they got, 652 00:48:00,199 --> 00:48:02,840 they know how to do it. They drafted the guy. They don't 653 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,000 know how Polly was. Um, all right, everyone go watch those highlights. 654 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,440 Watch the Grant Nelson highlights I put in the chat. If you're watching 655 00:48:08,519 --> 00:48:14,800 us on YouTube, it's fun to watch. Um. Then Chenny John Nelson 656 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,800 celebration. That's pretty funny. Yeah, there's a clipping him grabbing the wrap 657 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,719 and going, oh, it's a tech. Oh, it's a tech And 658 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,199 it's just kind of in the full Nelson. All right, last serious question 659 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,480 before a break, and then we talk about some disturbing activity on the Clippers 660 00:48:27,519 --> 00:48:31,920 subreddit. Um, Chenny John wants to know with so many front office available 661 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:36,280 talent um, former Finals head coaches, even Bob Myers, do we want 662 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,199 to add anyone to the front office or should we just chill? As right 663 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:44,679 now, it's Lawrence Frank, Trent Redden, and Mark Hughes. Trent Redden's 664 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,960 a talent guy. Mark Hughes came up from coaching. Should we just be 665 00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:51,880 funny at like, let's just chill for a second, right If it's not 666 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,360 an either or situation. I don't think there's any harm in adding someone to 667 00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:00,000 the front office. They bring their rolodex, they have all these contacts, 668 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:04,320 they have relationships with. I assume they bring over a physical role of dad 669 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,800 because they're old old How old is this GM that we're adding? Are we 670 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:13,760 adding like Bob Myers is young? Yeah, so it's not Bob Meyers, 671 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:19,199 it's his dad and his work with Jerry West already. Oh yeah, I 672 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,400 think that it could. I think that it could work out. I still 673 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,280 think there probably needs to be a clear pecking order, but that's for that's 674 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:29,280 for the ORG chart to decide, not for me. The ORG chart. 675 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,840 God, I hate the ORG chart. Adam. We know you. You. 676 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:38,239 Adam wants to add any uh person with a pulse who has seen a 677 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:44,360 basketball court to the front office because I think Bob Meyers would be a good 678 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:50,159 ad. That means that at just anybody, No mom off the street? 679 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,960 Yeah, who's the old Nets and Sixers guy, Billy King? Was it? 680 00:49:54,159 --> 00:49:58,440 No, I don't want anybody. I don't know. There's been a 681 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:04,519 lot of bad gm z of the years, but Bob retirement, yeah, 682 00:50:06,039 --> 00:50:09,400 you know what was onto some things? Guys. Yeah, I really had 683 00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:15,039 it all figured out, all right? Coming up? Oh go ahead, 684 00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:16,639 Adam, Sorry, No, I'm interested in Bob Myers. They can get 685 00:50:16,679 --> 00:50:21,400 him and there's not much downside. Like Will was saying, if nobody else 686 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,840 has taken out because of it, great, If not, you promote Trent 687 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:30,719 Reddin or Mark Hughson GM love it. Nothing wrong with that bringing Trent Resin, 688 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:36,440 great soundtrack. I'm in what dude? What if? How? What 689 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,320 about this idea? This is a stupid idea? Uh you high? Why 690 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:44,159 don't teams hire like a producer night like a producer to be like, all 691 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,000 right, you pick the sound for the nights like Tonight's game, like the 692 00:50:47,039 --> 00:50:52,719 soundscape, so like Trent Resin around the keys, like doing the like uh 693 00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,000 like the let's go a clip or what with like really dark tones or something 694 00:50:57,119 --> 00:51:00,920 like that. I'm into this idea. This is a good idea. DJ 695 00:51:00,039 --> 00:51:05,280 Mustard night at the clip from track from Gone Girl. Yeah, that would 696 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,039 rip, dude. All right, Coming up, we have a lot of 697 00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:13,599 drone, Yeah, a lot of drone coming up. We have one more 698 00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:16,599 bonus question than we're talking a Clippers subread up behavior which has been all over 699 00:51:16,599 --> 00:51:20,280 the place lately. But first there's some ads. If they've been too loud 700 00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,880 for you, go ahead and turn it down. We're talking a goofy question 701 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:29,159 and then disturbing behavior coming up in three two one Welcome back in Clips and 702 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,079 DIMP episode one forty nine. Is that what I heard earlier? Is it 703 00:51:31,159 --> 00:51:37,000 one ninety nine? I'm Adam Oslin. We got Chuck Mochler will up deck 704 00:51:37,079 --> 00:51:40,960 and hopefully you guys are watching us live YouTube live. We do them all 705 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,360 the time now during the off season, we try try to figure out how 706 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:50,199 to expand our platform and use different ways to reach out to you guys if 707 00:51:50,199 --> 00:51:54,599 you want to get to us at Clippers pod later on on Twitter and at 708 00:51:54,639 --> 00:52:00,360 Clippers podcast on the YouTube. Before we get to a question and that was 709 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:06,000 directed at me, what's this more serious one here? Chuck? Oh yeah, 710 00:52:06,039 --> 00:52:09,320 So someone on the Clippers subredd at clippers dot com, slash r slash 711 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:15,159 La Clippers is catching birds and naming them after Clippers players. They've caught three 712 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:22,039 small birds. They've named them kawhipg in uh Terrence man, very weird. 713 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:28,679 I'm not entirely sure how they're getting the birds. Um, where are we 714 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,599 at on? This behavior is this normal offseason behaviors would be concerned for Clippers 715 00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:36,800 fans. What are we thinking? A little unhinged? I think I think 716 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,519 birds are more meant to be observed and enjoyed. I'm with it. One 717 00:52:40,519 --> 00:52:44,280 of them is real small, one of them is pretty, like a nice 718 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,320 blue one. But they have the caption paint in the ass to catch. 719 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:54,920 Don't don't catch the bird. The bird doesn't want to be caught. Yeah, 720 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,840 like, what are we also? You could get sick? You're just 721 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,119 catching birds, guys. I caught this huge condor. It's the real chuck 722 00:53:02,199 --> 00:53:06,440 the condor. Yeah when when? When? If they got if I see 723 00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:08,599 him with a metal sheath and then a condor on it, I'll be on 724 00:53:08,639 --> 00:53:13,440 board with this. What insane hobbies are you guys gonna pick up this offseason 725 00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:20,920 to compare with catching live birds? This is so weird, Adam, what 726 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:28,960 are you gonna start doing? Um? Yeah, I already had weird hobbies 727 00:53:29,159 --> 00:53:35,599 before its Clippers season. I think I've kicked that to the curve. Finally. 728 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:42,360 Uh eat healthier that that's gonna be a weird hobby. It's not as 729 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,239 easy as you would think. I stopped drinking to be healthier, but all 730 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,440 it's given me was a damn sweet tooth. And I'm ordering Ben and Jerry's 731 00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:52,320 Nightly off a door dash. It costs like twenty five bucks for that little 732 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,800 pipe. God, thank god you don't smoke weed. That'd be a nightmare. 733 00:53:58,119 --> 00:54:02,039 Will what is your what is your terror fine behavior? I don't know. 734 00:54:02,199 --> 00:54:07,400 I keep I keep threatening that I'm gonna grow mushrooms in my house, 735 00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:13,159 like mushrooms, not even psych delic mushrooms, like just food mushrooms. It's 736 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,559 like, I don't know how that's weird. I don't know how familiar you 737 00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:19,400 are. But they're like pretty expensive at the farmer's market, Like a little 738 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,320 container is like twenty bucks, and they're delightful. I love them so much. 739 00:54:22,679 --> 00:54:27,280 But uh, I think that'd be it's it's that's kind of an unhandished 740 00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,079 behavior to cultivate a bunch of mushrooms. I think in your in your apartment. 741 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,639 Would it make your apartment smell a bit? I don't know. I 742 00:54:34,639 --> 00:54:37,559 would assume it would have smell kind of earthy. Yeah, not a bad 743 00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:42,800 smell. Um No, that's a good one. I was threatening to get 744 00:54:43,519 --> 00:54:46,599 um a goat the other day. I think getting a goat makes a lot 745 00:54:46,599 --> 00:54:50,559 of sense for my life. Right now, we have some green space. 746 00:54:50,599 --> 00:54:54,239 They eat trash. Oh why not? Every year? I threatened to get 747 00:54:54,280 --> 00:55:01,239 horrifyingly into Gundams like just I haven't quite pulled the trigger on it yet, 748 00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:06,679 but hey man, another another Clipper season like this last one? This might 749 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,559 be a gumpa pod. Oh another Clipper season like this one. I'm posting 750 00:55:09,599 --> 00:55:13,840 the birds that I've caught on this Clipper subreddit is what I'm doing. And 751 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,679 I'm naming them after old gms is what I want to do. I am 752 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:25,320 dangerously close to collecting Transformers figurines because I follow people who collect them on Twitter 753 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:30,760 and envious at times. I want to rot him as Prime. I don't 754 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:36,079 even know. Is that different from Optimus Prime. Yeah, he's the one 755 00:55:36,119 --> 00:55:39,880 in the movie where they swear from nineteen eighty six and children ran out screaming 756 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:45,159 because they killed Offtimus Prime in it. Oh shit, well that sounds pretty 757 00:55:45,199 --> 00:55:49,480 rad actually, all right. Shout out to the person who's been catching those 758 00:55:49,519 --> 00:55:52,800 birds, please wash your hands. Bonus question This is from Chenny John. 759 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,679 Shout out Jenny John. He said, how does follow Adam a keep an 760 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:02,559 off season radio voice? Shape karaoke, Pee League commentary, organic gargo Wash, 761 00:56:02,679 --> 00:56:07,719 Adam. The people want to know, how do you stay it in 762 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:12,039 such good radio voice shape? I don't think I do. Honestly, I 763 00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:16,039 can lose my voice pretty easily. Maybe I should start gargling glass like the 764 00:56:16,119 --> 00:56:22,119 lead singer from Cannibal Corps or something like that. I should hang weights from 765 00:56:22,119 --> 00:56:25,519 my uh from my throat or something. I don't know. I like where 766 00:56:25,559 --> 00:56:29,639 this is going. I'll tell you one thing. I'm not the throatgoat, 767 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:34,280 Guys, I'm not okay, hardly am able to keep a voice throughout the 768 00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,360 entire Clipper of season. What what else could that mean? I don't stop 769 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,480 what throat means? When I'm happy you don't identify as the throat goat? 770 00:56:40,039 --> 00:56:47,559 Um? Will do you have any off? Yep? If you're on my 771 00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:53,039 if you're you're learning a lot right now. Maybe if we had patron, 772 00:56:53,079 --> 00:56:57,920 we do a bonus of a episode explaining why Adam's name is not Nancy, 773 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:02,239 Um anything else we want to get out before we uh send these Clipper Faithful 774 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:08,480 on their way not Nancy or Will. Is there a way to celebrate the 775 00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:14,239 Lakers getting swept without having a bunch of fans saying rent free, rent free. 776 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,159 It's like, look at that. You come after me all the time, 777 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,079 Like, of course I'm thinking about you guys. Hey man, they 778 00:57:20,079 --> 00:57:22,320 won that state championship. They played against the Warriors. You know that's a 779 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:27,519 good point. They cut the nets and everything. Yeah, that was such 780 00:57:27,559 --> 00:57:31,360 a bad omen. That was like it was so bad, Like, oh, 781 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:35,400 let's do a T shirt idea that no team has ever done before. 782 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,320 That t shirt has never existed a professionals team at any league to be like 783 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:43,119 we're the state champs. Like, that's not how this ship. I mean, 784 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,599 you talk about the Pack Div champs all the time. They'll chop its. 785 00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:49,880 Got that far off. Pac Div makes a whole lot of sense. 786 00:57:50,039 --> 00:57:52,880 Don't come at me about the Pac Div. Don't come at me about the 787 00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,920 Pac Div. I will die for this division play. Austin's asking me how 788 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,480 they can make the regular season adamore, and I was like, let's make 789 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,199 divisional play me in something you said, sir, can I block out forty 790 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:07,119 five minutes at the end of the day to go over this. We should 791 00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:10,559 make a power point that we can just send to people on Twitter when they 792 00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:14,880 ask how to make it, just like a twelve slide thing of why division 793 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,840 play should be more important.
