They started trading off everything and doing all these things and getting these people in
places, and now we done got KD. But we didn't traded and traded
more than our whole squad. Basically gone is gone. And then on top
of this, because of you've had just a horrible playoff season. Next year,
you gotta drop one hundred and fifty meal for all of these movements,
all three with nothing to show for it. That's crazy, But but it's
the gentlemen, boys and girls, cat and dogs. Did you want to
do this? I'm just I'm just I just want to have a little fun
your own time, have a little on your own time. This is my
time. I haven't. This is my time. This is my time.
This is not your time. This is my time. Thank you. Now

You said, are you a Star Wars fan? And I said, for
what? I like movies when I have other intry. I thought, you're
asking for what? Like? Why do you say that? The only time
you should say that question is when he say he's a wrestling fan. She's
not that slow. Do we really want to start right now? Are you
sure? I'm just saying, all right, let's get this. No no,
no no no no no no no, let's get this. Let's get
this monkey off our back. We even get this podcast to do that.
So say the ends like we normally do for Talk, not today, tell
not today. I got to bro, I got to can I get the
go ahead. I'm telling you, I'm telling you to come on so we
can get this monkey off our back. I don't want to get this monkey

talking about talking about the l we just took. Bro. We gotta save
that. I mean, if you feel some time because we want people to
you know, just just because people want to know, because we're the fans.
But but but we can lead up to that. And that's number one,
number two, only one of us. He's gonna get that right because
you voted like a fan. Shut up. I voted like a fan.
Was objective. Shut up. What I was gonna say was before he's interrupted
me, I was also say, you know, happy single to Mayo,
Happy single that Mayo to all our migos out there. Yeah, that's offensive.
You are not of the scent to be talking like that. If a

No, we're not doing bucks. No, because you voted with object.
Would you like to have a moment's sure, let's move on, man.
Life goes on for the life does go on. It depends on the player.
This week, the Los Angeles Lakers fired head coach Darby Ham at the
two seasons where they won the nd season Tournament and a trip to the Western
Conference Finals. Tony is in here. I wanted him to play the first
clip boy, so maybe we need to reverse it since he's not here.
Take your time, Dome, I guess thousand dollars a month. Well,
I'll say this. I'll say this, what is your guy's opinion on the
firing? When you when you first heard about the firing, was your and
this your reaction? I'll say that the firing of who oh, thank you
talking about Doc Rivers? Su Get it? I'm kidding, I know so
I posted on my Facebook. Hold on, I'm saying, justin we have
ton wan't you would you like to play the first clip tone or appreciate that
first? Uh? Yeah? What is that? Right? In? Rashad,
JJ and Lebron start a podcast. JJ says he wants to be a
coach. Lebron knows Darvin's ass in his days are numbered. JJ gets high
by the Lakers. Lebron is still a player. JJ get the coach.
Lebron and bringing Brine podcast thrives. They're still doing the podcast. How does
that not make no sense? They ain't gonna have that? How does that
not make That's good? That's a good that was a good one. Look,
I don't know that going though the podcast just to have JJ. Who
knows who you trust? He trusted now with JJ? How would you do
this, Jay? Hey Bron, how would you want this? How you
want this done? Hey? I would do it like this? Do it
like bro? They sitting there doing the ship the sails on TV. They
showing us right in front of us, right in front of us. He
coaching, he coaching days to beat the coach right before our eyes though.
Right there they talk about the game like, Yo, you know I would
do Lebron. I'll give you the ball right here. That shit sounds good
when you like this ship up. That's the stupidest single my life, is
it you talk about? Okay? Hold on, first off, you're talking
about the Los Angeles like a JJ does not stand a chance over there with
Jenny Buss Jenny. No matter what Lebron say, he ain't gonna hire no
damn JJ. But if they hired JJ, they mill will shoot themselves in
the damn foot right again? Why not? Huh? No coaching experience,
Lakers don't do that. He's not a coaching Lakers don't do that. You
can have, you can have who was Lucas Walton's first coaching job, but
he was an assistant for years. Jj ain't coached a game of the NBA.
They will not Steve Nash that thing like Brooklyn did. They don't even
have a coach in philosophy that people would believe in is so, so let
me answer the question. Uh, and then your y'all, I am okay,
you just say those days are over. That's how every coach that has
ever been under Lebron got fired. Six coaches in his career. I looked
drag go ahead, and Tyrone Lou didn't get fired. He absolutely Lebron left.
Remember, well, that's one way to look at it. So here's
my issue with the Los Angeles Lakers. Darvin ham took you to the Western
Conference finals last year and you got swept. That could have happened to anybody
playing Denver last year. It didn't matter with coaching, it mattered with better
to the Los Angeles Lakers won to play in tournament and celebrated it like it
was a title. He saw Darvis Praises did. Lebron James didn't play all
eighty two games this season. He played more games than probably majority of them,
but he didn't play every game. Anthony Davis had played most of the
games he could have played this season more than he did the past four years.
They get eliminated from the first round and you fire him after two seasons.
I don't like it, but we're not surprised. I am. I
think this is the year of stupid stuff with coaching. Look at the Bucks
with Adrian Griffin. They fired him when we were the number one seed,
right, so coaches are easily escape goal. But here's the bottom line.
What I've been hearing I had JJ, that's just podcast talk. The Lakers
would never do that. They're actually considering Mike Budenhozer as the front runner of
their coaching hold on lem Finish, actually considering him and Jason Kid that's who
they're considering now. If JJ can come on as an assistant potentially, but
there is no way that that storied franchise will hire JJ Reddick as his next
head coach and they want to win the title. Okay, I don't see
it. I am surprised that Darvin got fired. However, I'm not surprised
because once you are at conflict with your superstar, your job security is over.
The only coach that has ever had job security under Lebron James is Tyron
Loup. He is the only coach Mike Brown fired twice, David Black fired,
Mike D'Antoni have a season, right? Who else? Luke Walton fired,
Kurt Rambis fired. The only coach under Lebron who's also been linked to
this job that hasn't been fired is Tyron Lou. The only one JJ Reddick
doesn't stand a chance is that Lebron's boy. Absolutely, that's Lebron's boy.
But if Lebron's Cohonas can get jjdad coaching job, just let him be the
GM. Just call him GM Lebron because JJ ain't ready to coach. No
Los Angeles Lakers. Uh, I'm okay. A couple of things. Number
one, they have five candidates. Two of those candidates already have coaching jobs,
and both those coaches haven't got extensions. So if they're off the signs
signed, can I finish? But you just make a false state I did?
I mean no, I didn't. Tyron Lou isn't under He can get
an extension. Jason Kidd, he can get an extension. I haven't signed.
They haven't signed it yet, just like JJ Reddick hasn't signed anything either.
But guess what he's the top five candidate for this job. Now,
is that wild? Yes? GM GM Lebron is already a thing. So
what makes you think the Los Angeles Lakers won't do what they have to do
to keep Lebron happy? They talking about signing his son for logo number seven
for Lebron. Sorry, the Lebron James brownie him out signing Bronnie James.
He's nowhere near ready for the NBA, but they're willing to sign him if
it's gonna make Lebron James happy. Then, on top of that, Lebron
making them sweat even more because he ain't even sign no contract, ain't gonna
be a free agent because he wants that mega contract I don't want. I
think he's making them sweat, Bro. He wants a two year, one
hundred and thirteen million dollar deal. Either way, it goes. Either way
it goes. This is Lebron James world and we just live in it.
So this is a shocker where he like, I think we should give JJ
a chance, and they're like the person, Now, do I agree with
you that JJ Riddick has no type of coaching experience that he should even be
He shouldn't even be a finalist you last year for coaching job. Yeah,
and he said he wants to be a coach, So why wouldn't I talk
to the most powerful person in the NBA be like, hey, I really
like a coaching job. They're on top of that, they not only fired
Darvin Ham, they fired the entire coaching staff. So with that being said,
the Roser can hire JJ. There's a new regime coming in in La
La Land. And at the end of the day, Jennie Buss is about
what sales money, sales entertainment money and having so having JJ Reddick, Lebron
happy Bronnie James sounds like a strike to me. No, Jenny Bus is
over that face. Now, Okay, she ain't down to win because you're
down to win, and she was down to win. She would have got
rid of that GM that they have, which it shouldn't even be their GM,
and it did a whole lot of rehaul you if they didn't do that.
They keep Lebron James, they keep Anthony Davis, and they picked these
little people around them thinking that's gonna boost their team up. It's not gonna
happen. I feel like JJ Reddick is gonna get highed. I think he
has I think he has the ability because if Tyler wanted it, that's his
job. But he's not. He doesn't want it. Who don't know that?
You don't know that we're going off his name. We're in linked to
the top of the Lakers food chain. Yeah, why is that because Ron?
No, they link him to Lebron. But if I have a situation
with the Clippers, have a situation with the Lakers, I'm going with the
Clippers. Why because clips are about to use two of their top stars.
Yes, maybegg is out hard to be there, doubt it. Nobody want
hard so hard to be there. He wants to be there. I've seen
kaw Lean before, Harden. Don't nobody whispers of that. Kawhi need to
hang it up. Nobody wants Harden hang out. But I do feel I
put I put, I put that clip in there just because it makes sense.
What are your thoughts? That makes sense? JJ is not going to
be their next head coach because Lebron cannot do it every night like that.
No more so that goes straight to Lebron. Shit is out the window?
Is it? He said it best himself done in interview. I've seen when
somebody was asking him, how do you do you think you could still do
it night in and night out? He said, imagine being a two thousand
and three Escalate with the same tires on it since two thousand and three?
Do you think that I could still be able to do what I did again
twenty years ago? Twenty years ago? I hate that narrative. I hate
that narrative because these you mean it, you hate the narrative is the narrative
is what it is. He's forty years old. It is I'm losing.
Well, you know, I can't do this forever. He's saying, you
he do something like he scored the Yeah, forty points, twenty rebounds,
Lebron Jay stopped to the best player in the league. Twenty one year straight.
He's averaged over twenty six points a game. Okay, so name ain't
name another player who has done it? When one is is it either A,
I can't do this much longer or B I can score twenty points for
the next twenty years. Sounds just like the Western the hippocritical people in the
world. You're not listening to what it's saying. What is he saying?
I can do both at least, at least he can admit like it's coming
to an end. A lot of the people who do what he did and
do it only for like ten to twelve years then won't even admit that it
is their career is over with only some only time somebody would admit their career
is over is when they don't get signed. Carmelo Anthony just didn't get signed
and he was And that's another player who he's like, you well call,
that's another player who failed to admit he ain't who he used to be.
According to him, he can he is who he is, Still he ain't.
That's what I just said. Did you hear that what I just said?
You just proved my point he ain't who he used to be. I
think. Charles Barkley said something really interesting as it relates to Lebron and coaching.
He said, the Lakers fired Darvin Ham like he was the problem,
and he said, no, the problem is that Los Angeles Lakers are agent
and they're just not that good. He said, what I don't want for
Lebron is I don't want him to go out like Michael Jordan did with the
Washington Wizards, like I did. He said, I sucked my last two
years of basketball, and he said Lebron is on the verge of not being
who Lebron was. Don't go out playing ball just because you can go out
on top. Leave your legacy intact. But he made he made the suggestion
that Lebron is not having great years because he's getting older. Now you're firing
Lebron with an You're firing Darwin with the almost Lebron will be forty years old
next year. You're firing your coach because you're putting all of your a's and
the basket of a forty year old aging star. That is not a coaching
problem. That is a management problem. I'm sorry that it happened to Darvin.
We knew it, but I don't agree with it. But it doesn't
I blame Darving. That's part of the problem too. It's not all it's
not all the agent problems too. It's coaching. And they never solidify.
They line up, So how can you solidify with your identity as a team
if you never got a standard lineup? Look at Denver, you know who
they line up is. Look at Boston, you know who they line up
is them? The teams who are good, Look at Look at Minnesota.
They're good because you know who they line up is Miami. I mean Los
Angeles. Lakers have had more starting lineups than anybody team and any other team
in the league this year. And that's why the Bucks are who they are
because they don't have any identity because they keep changing up they start lineup,
they don't the identity is that we're not good on defense. You know what
the Lakers or get quick. No, I'm not even gonna go on hold
because oh, it's not an identity. The Lakers identity is. No,
the Lakers is. The Lakers are who Lebron James. Lebron James is used
to being surrounded by shooters. Nowadays, shooters cost money. Then on top
of that, the people that are linked to the Lakers need what the ball
in their hands. And when you go with Lebron James, you don't get
the ball in your hands. It's not gonna happen. So you're talking about
a solidified lineup. How are you talking about the solidified lineup? Look at
their roster. I ain't even talking about the line Look at their roster.
Who are you gonna start the who? No? I don't even say that
I'll say this, who are you gonna have on the Lakers team that is,
oh, he has to start. That's my point. You just made,
making a point that point. If they were on other teams, you
just they would not be starters. Exactly my point you making all your your
team is surrounded by Lebron James, and what I'm saying, you just solidify
what I just said. They don't have a solidified lineup to even be considered
having an identity because nobody in that lineup outside of Lebron and Antony, they
was just really true starters. So everybody else can go to other teams and
probably wouldn't even start, even d Lo. That's even as Reeves. My
thing is I think about that is this even they weren't starting when they were
even gay Vincent. But you're talking about people who are even Christian Woods.
Okay, you're gonna keep going. You're gonna keep going with all them damn
people that on that roster that ain't got no solidified spot, and you're gonna
keep So their narrative is Jane Lebron James. They put their faith in too
many Lebron James can be surrounded by bobs that what they put their faith in.
Too many unachievers. So you're saying Lebron superstars, Torrian Prince, you
see what the dumb boy shot all the season. My thing is that even
if you do get some superstars like Kyrie, Irvin Trey Young, Donovan Mitchell,
you guys need the ball. You see. You see d Lo Dilo
had the ball in his hands. The most consistent mother I've seen in the
Lago Jersey in a long time. I just know. But when he thought
he was gonna get traded, I bet he puts some buckets up, didn't
he When he thought he was gonna get traded, he put buckets up.
They all get in that role where they just sit and they feel like they
he's sitting and watching Lebron do what he gonna do. No, because he
put the ball in their hands. He passes them the ball and move out
of the way, and they sit there and look like dew Floppies joint team.
All I know is this Westbrook left Los Angeles has been thriving, thriving.
How when they're out of the playoffs Lakers are two Okay, they both
out the first round. I'm saying it's thriving. They both lost the same
way. As far as no position, he's not thriving. He's thriving.
When he came up the bench, he was doing the same thing in l
A is he doing with the Clippers? Yes, he was LEA. Are
you telling me that Lebron James needs two more superstars to get bat or he
was at it's not need two more superstars then what he need because he needs
a solidified lineup? Somebody? What does that mean? When you when you
look at like I said, when you look at Minnesota, think about it.
You know, Anthony Edwards is that dude? Right? You know who
you got as his role players? Right? You got Mike Conley, a
veteran point guard that can shoot the ball, handle the ball, take some
of the pressure off of him. Right. You know you got Karl Anthony
Towns. He's gonna rebound for him and he's going to score on the paint.
He ain't changed his voice and interviews. And you got Rudy Gobert.
You know he's just starting center because he's gonna rebound, he's going to defend,
and he's gonna block shots. Right, who's the fifth person in that
lineup? The young dude, the sixth man. Nope, not Reid,
because you got to and they got a solidified six man. I see why
he won. I see why he wanted now by the way, he was
doing the same thing Bobby was doing. Say McDaniels, McDaniels a young up
and coming young player too that can defend and play his role three and D.
That's a lineup. Look at the Lakers lineup. Tell me on that
on that lineup, who has got a spot besides Anthony Davis and Lebron James.
Even d Low has come out the start lineup. Even Austin Reeves is
coming out the start lineup. So I think about that as this Ruey went
from playing thirty three minutes to play nine minutes a game this season. Who
Ruey hot? You Moore? No, he had a murder man. He
had a fantastic year last year and came on this year and he barely played
all season. And then they try to throw him in there when they go
against Denver because they want to throw bodies at at Joker. I'll say this
to me, the two superstars who are Lebron James and Anthony Davis aren't adding
up. No, you gotta put the right players around your roster. That's
a part of being a GM. But that's a GM and and that's a
part of being a coach, of knowing how to put lineups together so that
your your superstars jail with your role players. GM is two different things.
That's number one. Number two, Your GM gets you hold on your this
is your thing. Though Lebron James has tooken worse to the NBA, your
GM gets you the players. Your coaches manages those players. You're right right,
Lebron James tooking worse at NBA finals. Nah, you said that,
You said that taking worse worse than that line up. Yes, he took
the team to the conference finals last year. Okay, he took with that
same team, Yeah, only different than they addatory in Prince. My thing
is, nobody talks worse about Lebron in his Cavalier early Havelier days than you.
Not worse, but like it was the all time greatest run. They
are but he was younger then he could do more. So what my thing
is that again? Which one is years old? I am falling to see
your point here? What is your point? Help us? They don't have
the right line up, so they don't have it needs more help. Again,
it's been since he been missing the finals. Every finals he's lost because
they don't have the right lineups. Well, I'm sorry, he's not gonna
get an All Star lineup again. It's not about it's not about an All
Star lineup, but having the right lineup. All of those damn players on
Minnesota say't all stars. Everybody don't differ in an all start three they got
three who there towns and shoots your damnself in the foot because Rudy is not
an All Star at what time? A lot of bigs out there in a
lot of big disrespect Rudy, like he's not an all time defensive great he
not? He is? He? And you talking about him when he was
passing COVID round. I mean, but it doesn't take away that he's one
of the greatest defensive players to ever played the game. No, he's not
one of the greatest second clip great decision to continue to maximize around the Lebron
James, around Anthony Davis, well, no, and look, this is
not just a Laker problem. This is the league problem. Right. Every
coach that I talk to around the league, whether it's a head coach,
assistant coach. The first word comes out of their mouth is deva and that's
what they describe these players in today's game when it comes down to the Lakers.
This is a hard situation, especially when you're dealing with a guy by
the name of Lebron James who actually think he knows more than anybody else in
the sport. And that's Lebron's boy. M m, that is Lebron's boy.
He riding Lebron more than old boy with the Tristan Thompson. No,
he he do be Bro. He be on Lebron like un like Bro.
He called Dash. He said, let the record show, Shay, I
was with Lebron's boy before you. I've been on this Lebron train. Because
he was hating Lebron when he was when he was there a KG and then
he wanted to punch Lebron in the neck. But then when he joined him,
what happened. He became a Lebron rider. And and anybody who don't
think that man has an high intelligence for the game is crazy as hell.
That's not what he said. He said. He said, to be a
coach a GM. Lebron is GM and is basically what he said, and
he said, Lebron James act like he knowed more than everybody in the league
when here calling out your team plays, he is you canna wrap this up?
Let's just go ahead and wrap what you want to call up? Can
Lebron do anything wrong? Y'all keep saying it? Can you answer my question?
Can he do anything wrong? In your eyes? What has he done
wrong in his career? What is what is Jordan done wrong in his career?
That's what I'm just saying, because this is what this is, what
this is what people going going to the wizard? Can you ask? Can
I finishing what I got? Asked me a quest? Can I finish my
question? You asked me a question. I didn't finished it, though,
I said, because you Jordans fans don't think he does no wrong? Right,
That's not true. That's not true. Come on man, that's not
true. Man, y'all crazy? I can I answer your question? Nobody
had the expectation that they had wrong Lebron and his year thirty nine when he
was thirty nine and Jordan was thirty nine. All I know is this?
All I know is this? All I know is this? Number one?
He asked you a question, you get his answer, question moved on,
but you didn't answer the question, which is wild number two, Lebron.
I mean, Michael Jordan has done a lot of things wrong. I've already
answered playing for the Wizards, retiring in ninety three, Uh not advocating for
Scottie and feel better so the dynasty doesn't get messed up. But you know
what he did do is he took ownership that he couldn't do it by himself
and kept his team intact during both runs. Every year Lebron loses, they
changed the roster most of the time, every single time, afford it every
single time. You don't think roster, No, they did not. They
did not kid him. They changed the rosters when Horace Grant left, when
he and then they brought in So how do you think he went from Bill
cart Wright to only How do you think Carr? How do you win cart
Right? How do you think they brought Tony? How do you think they
brought agent? How do you think that was a free agent siding? What
do you think the Lakers are they? The Lakers got The Lakers traded for
Anthony Davis, They traded for d lo They traded for Westbrook and then traded
him out when they used him as the problem because it's a different type of
game now, you have to trade to get playoffs now, because nobody wants
to lose anybody. But let that man cook thirty minutes. People, people
will rather see today's NBA would rather see a player cook on the bench before
they before they let him go in free agency. Now, Markeith Davis,
has Lebron done anything wrong to you in his career? Who snows nothing?
He stayed in Cleveland too long? Yeah, point, give that six straight
final appearances. It's too long. But okay, all right, right,
asked question, he answer. It's a good point about you are not going
to the Lakers game with me? Did you ask me? He asked you
a question? You asked it was it was a good answer. Come on,
let's good answer. One in Cleveland's good answer. Let's good answer.
Okay. Uh. They're getting swept to be my friend. After getting swept
by the Minnesota timber Wolves. Rumors of the organization is Kevin Kevin Durant is
unhappy how the office is ran. Head coach Frank Vogel is in a hot
seat, and Devin Booker may be interested in joining the New York Knicks.
What are your thoughts on the Phoenix Sun situation altogether? I am sick and
tired. I am pretty quickly before you get into the tone. Who left
the Knicks, said Devin Bookers, joins the Knicks. He's back on the
band. Wow, could y'all have Giannis in twenty six? They won't.
Don't don't put that today. I'm gonna say this. I am so sick
and tired of Kevin Durant and James Harden getting a pass, a pass for
what he's about to cry himself out of another situation. You might as well
go back to Golden State. You might as well go back to Golden State.
Wherever you go. Robin, you can never deliver the ship. You
can never You didn't even win a game, and now you're blaming the offenses.
Ran. The problem with Phoenix is y'all traded everything for nothing. Y'all
have nobody. You talk about nobody. They got a fifty seven million dollar
overpaid Bradley Bill. Okay, they have a undersize shooting point Guarden, Devin
Booker, and you got KD who people call the best scorer in the game.
I will take Lebron James over KD twice on Sunday. I'm tired of
Kevin Durant finding people to blame. He's always scapegoating, and now he's gonna
cry his way out of Phoenix. The Phoenix Suns deserve exactly what they got.
They deserve exactly what they got into into. And I'm almost done.
Frank Frank Vogel's been there one year, one year, and he's on the
hot seat because you gave him. You traded for fifty seven million dollar injury
prone Bradley Bill. Okay, he's on the hot seat because y'all make that
trade. All I know is this. All I know is this, and
this is my opinion on that situation. I think we all went into the
season looking like, if they can stay healthy, they might have something a
chance. Here. I feel like too much ball, no point guard.
But I do feel like that's true too. But I do feel like the
Bradley Beal situation because he has a no trade clause that really hurt them.
And if y'all think he ain't taking all one hundred and fifty of a million
that he owed the next three seasons, why wouldn't he I got a blank
check for you too. So my thinking about that is that, but the
Kevin Durant situation, I was going to play this really this clip really quick.
But to me, the Kevin Durant situation like it it to me,
to be really honest with you, he should have stayed in in Golden State.
I think he should have stayed in Golden State as well. I think
they should have got rid of Draymond Green and they should have started building around
Steph Curry and Kevin Durant. No, I also feel like because of the
Goal State Warriors and how they run an organization, that situation could have been
rectified. But they chose the wrong side. But no, it's ever going
to talk about that. They chose the wrong side. And know what's ever
going to talk about that because at the end of the day, you know,
you want superstars to make it happen or whatever. But to me,
this is what the ruin was for KD in his whole career. Twitter is
what killed Golden State Warriors dynasty because Kevin Durant paid too much attention to what
was being said about him and how it's Steph Curry's team and you're ring chasing
and you're on his coattails. He paid way too much attention to that rather
than just staying there where he was a great fit, and they could have
continued to win championships. That didn't happen because he heard all that stuff and
said, I've got to go somewhere else and do my own thing. And
that somewhere else was a failure in Brooklyn and now looks like a failure in
Phoenix. He should have stayed where he was. He listened too much Monica
to NBA Twitter for the Warriors dynasty ending prematurely, and I believe everything he
said was right. If he hadn't been listening to NBA Twitter, if he
hadn't gotten his feelings about what Draymond Green said, he would have still have
the Good State war He would still been at Goods State, and they probably
would have won at least two more champions I disagree, I made more championship.
I disagree. I think the reason he left was because he wanted that
Lebron swag. You can't be an all time great until you go back and
win it, or you win one on your own. He tried to have
a team hold up. He tried to have a team win around him,
and it failed every single time it failed. KD. I'm sorry, bro,
you've been benched. This is terrible. You you deserve what you get.
And if I'm Phoenix, I'm making him sit and play this thing.
God, I'm not making this season. I I well, teams are a
petty like that, but I don't think but put Phis has gone through a
lot of changes since they made it to the finals. They've traded like everybody
on that roster. The coach has gotten fired, they got a new owner.
They said they're gonna bring in a PG to make you know the KD
situation better because he is one of the Despite what you think about his personality,
you can't despite you can't say he can't play ball. And my thing
about that is he is one of the greatest scores. To me, he's
always been. He's more efficient. He can shoot it from DP, he
can shoot the J. I also thought he's a little bit more efficient than
Lebron. I mean, Lebron over the years has gotten more efficient, but
KD was always that guy efficiently to shoot the jay and shoot the three.
But my thing is, like I said before, I think you should have
stayed in god state and he'd have been perfectly fine. Any other part of
this is who on New York are you trading for Devin Booker with the chemistry
that they have right now? If I'm New York, I'm not touching that.
The thing about chemistry is good right now, the chemistry is good.
But the thing about the only trade asset New York proper consider is Randall.
And you want Randall with freaking Kevin Durant. I mean, obviously, I
think I think that it would pay out Burder for Honestly, I think Phoenix
will rebuild. They need to. They need a hard look at this team
and start a rebuild. Bradley Bill got a messed up contract. They need
to get rid of. Devin Booker needs the request to get out of Phoenix.
And Kevin Durant how long he's gonna later years is remain even back to
Golden stand how much his book got left, book got at least because he
just signed next got three four years left and he had him and Bill.
The payroll next year for Phoenix, just for their big three is one hundred
and fifty million dollars. And I've been said that that there was gonna be
a problem with that lineup because they got four more years worth two hundred and
twenty one million, UND and fifty million. Bro I told you that that
line that wasn't gonna work. It's too many one on one players, that's
what that's what. That's what Booker does. He's a great one on one
player off the dribble. Kevin Durant is a great one on one player off
the dribble. Bradley Bil is a great one on one player off the dribble.
None of them make anybody better. That's why the Wizards never got Brother,
because Bradley Bil is all about Bradley Bil and always hurt and always hurt
one of the two. Then you got Booker. That was his problem.
When they lost to the Bucks, he wanted to fix the problem himself.
He shot He shot Phoenix out of that series. If you go back and
look at it, really, book thought it was him who was gonna take
over that series, and he shot them out of that series. And even
we already know KD. He don't make nobody better. I mean it's true.
Never his whole career, they've been good and decent. But he's older
now and he can't even do as much as he used to do in Westbrook
was the problem. Everybody blaying Westbrook. That's what's okay. I hate those
two narratives. Number one, Westbrook, they should have stayed together is an
issue. They should have stayed together because Westbrook. I'm not even gonna lie.
Westbrook has a mental mentality off. He's fearless, and I will take
that any day. I won't over the way some of these players play right
now. They play soft, timid and scared. The whole league is like
that. It's too much. It's too much whining. And if it's another
thing you told me to tell you about Lebron, he whined too much too,
thank you? Fine, he actually said some negative Lebron wins. I'm
not clipping for that. I'm not clapping for that. But ahead, he
winds too much, local the lines too much. All of the superstars whining.
All of the super they do. All of the superstars whine too much.
Well we know, Luca, Oh my god, the superstars, the
the whole that's the whole league of superstars do nothing but wine the whole game
because they get touched like this, dude, do you know how many this
ain't the nineties? The nineties that's why they wouldn't survive in that era.
That's the one thing they wouldn't survive with. I get that, So I
don't like it, and I agree with Kesey on ninety percent of what he
said. If I'm the Knicks, ain't. If I'm the Knicks, I
ain't touching Devin Booker. No, really, No, you got yourself over
in the desert. I got that warm climbing year round. No, I'm
not petty. Why should we take on the grunt of your high contract because
you're losing, because we have the money. No, screw that, I'm
going after. The Knicks need another superstar, yes and no, yeah they
do, but it don't have to be. There's more. There's better than
Devin Booker. They about the war to break, about the rooting guard in
his position top ten, I give you the Tyreez MAXI market George about the
water breaks off. Brunts, bro. You got Paul George on the market,
and you got on the market and got g and then he about to
start picking up injuries. You got playing too many minutes and he gotta do
too much in the offense. Well, that's the problem with y. That's
why healthy you say that he keeps driving. You got the mark de Rosing.
But when he gets hurt, then what have to play? The different
kind of ball? I agree with you, but I think about that is
this but some guy he's on the leak, Monk Thompson, there's some shooting
guys. Some guys can sustain a lot of time and keep pushing, to
keep pushing, keep pushing. Brunson is young and he can keep doing that.
Can he do this forever? Obviously he can't know it can't. But
my thing is ain't for everything, because that's when players start building up injuries.
Yeah, but you can't just say well I need to. It's only
very few players that can play those type of minutes and not pick up injuries.
I'm gonna say Kevin the rank because that's how he used to play.
But a lot of minutes and then now look when he started picking up injuries,
it was one after another, one after another. Here we go,
everything turned around. He hurt. That happens Kyrie Irvan, One after another,
Here we go. Now he stay hurt? Do we mm hmm?
Kyrie has never Luca? Now you stay hurt? Everything turned around? He
hurt or wobbling or hobbling. The only way I say that that's part of
the Bucks problem is the roster. Not to get into Bucks talk. Part
of our problem is the roster that were depending too much on Yannis and Dang.
But that's what but anyways, to me, I think Devin Booker should
look into it getting with the Kniggs. I think Kevin Durant if he's not
giving Booker a way out. I'm not saying giving him a way out.
I'm saying that you have to look at your team, the Phoenix Suns,
and be like, this ain't where it's at no more. If I'm the
only person standing here, unless I'm ready to deal with a rebuild, It's
not for me to get up out of here. I'm giving like just like
when Anthony Davis left New Orleans, No, they was mad at him.
I gave y'all seven years and y'all still having put the right team around me.
I've been to the finals one time. Y'all had the right team around
me, but management like the right team hold Drake for you said anything else,
because this is what Booker said when he when they brought in Durant and
Bill. Yeah, who's gonna be able to guard us. I just don't
see nobody beating us. I just don't see this. I just don't see
that. I just don't see y'all getting past the first round. Not one,
not too that was his not three, not four, that was his
moment. I mean, I I so book is part of the problem too.
You don't get away out bro everybody. Y'all give everybody a pass.
Now, they got swept with two top fifteen NBA players. They got swept.
Yeah, no, so acceptable. I mean, we just talked about
Lebron I be able to do it by itself, So Devin Booker can do
it by myself. We didn't say that, ye had KD and Bill he
said that. I said what you said, the NBA down the NBA.
You can't do it about yourself, right, It's always been that way.
So if he can't do what you mean, I think this is a bad
money management situation because you have you have three people making over fifty million.
They got to take whatever deal somebody put on the table for one of them,
yeah, and then I got to dig into their future. Then on
top of that, they re they re signed uh Grayson Allen for like seventy
million. So it's like it's one of those things where like I see they
got they gotta take whoever. I see the potential, but also see that
they need a point guard. Bill's got to come off the bench. I
see like there there is a small for fifty seven million times, no billing,
billing, billing billing. If he Bill and Booker got to play the
two three, they can't. They're too small. Even if they if my
thing is this, even if they like, hey, we need to get
a point guard in here, which they did, You get a good point
guard in there. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker can thrive off of that,
can thrive off of that. Bill has to come off the bench. So
you think CP be good off and then with that offense right now, he
would he would thrive. He would think he would he would thrive, and
Devin Booker and KD would thrive. But the thing is, now you're adding
another old injured player. What's injured? Chris Paul is always injured? What
is injured? Pick one for him his hand. No, I'm saying.
What I'm saying is this What do you mean by hey, this person's injured?
Pretty prone? How many games a year did this person have to miss
for him to be injury pro. It's only eighteen games in the season.
When I say injury pron that means every time you look up, they're injured.
And Chris Paul, that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. That doesn't
know. It doesn't because you know, what if you played more than seventy
percent of the season. But something but is becoming. But some players play
and they injured and they don't play as good. Some people play, some
players play their injury and they don't play as good. What about that's becoming
an injury prone Jannis is almost catching that curse. Yes he is. He
is becoming injury I said before. If you play sixty five games a year,
every play at least sixty five games. I'm cool with that. The
Bucks played that role, that played that injury the way they were supposed to.
You didn't take no risk. You let him rest, you let him
recoop, and you start all over again next year. Wasn't close to being
ready, was close, I know, So you don't take that risk and
bring him back early. We took the risk on Dame and he Dan should
have shot out, should should have. I don't think hurt hurt is they
were preventing a second injury. I don't think he was as hurt as people
would say it was. It was more of a preventative measure because you look
at the injury, it's the same exact injury that Kevin Durant had that caused
Kevin Durant to tear his achilles off the next injury. Why put him in
that same position when you can just sit him. But like I said,
I think it was more serious. Yeah, I think it was more serious
because if he if there's a glimpse of Gianni's playing though, playing and even
at that, Janice himself be like, no, nah, I'm playing.
I'm playing because he's played out there a little hurt, like really be out
there and he's played a little hurt. Moving on after the first after losing
the first round to the New York Knicks, to Philadelphia seventy six Ers will
be monitoring two stars, Paul George and Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler is seeking
a two year extension worth one hundred and thirteen million dollars. Injury prone,
who is who's the better who's the better fit of the two for the Philadelphia
seventy six Ers you said, Ida who PG PG and Jimmy Butler neither neither.
I don't like neither of them, I think, and Be's gonna request
to get out of here. I don't think you will. I don't like
neither with them. We've already Jimmy was already there and it didn't work.
He was already there and it didn't work. And I'm sorry, Jamie,
Jimmy, they traded Jimmy for U. No Jimmy left. Jimmy, didn't
you leave? Jimmy got traded to timmer Wolves. Take a look, Jimmy
Butler. Jimmy Butler is to me, to me, is this number one?
They have to get somebody else in there? They have to that's number
one. Number two, they have the money to get somebody else. So
for y'all to say neither one of them, neither neither are a good fit
for that roster. Because you're going anyone you sign right now, you are
risking. You are risking the development, the continued development of Tyrese Maxie.
Tyrese Maxi has a lot of potential. You can sign another shooter. You
don't need a ball hungry player on that team. You need another shooter.
Wow, I don't think Paul. I think Paul George value he was overestimated.
I don't think Jimmy Butler has earned a two year, one hundred and
thirteen million dollar extension. Are you kidding me? What have to heat done
the performancy? Don't against the Bucks? He getting on hundred and thirteen for
me? Yeah, that was last year, I know, but he's been
hurting so and all real talk. If he would have, if he would
have been not hurt this year, Miami's probably still be playing right now.
They wouldn't be a beat Boston. Don't get twisted. Don't go too right
now. They don't know. They took them to five. He would have
took them to six. Boston's gonna walk through the East easily. Okay,
now they are now they are. All I'm saying is, if you're making
us pick one, then you go with Jimmy, because Jimmy and them beat
are boys. And usually when your boys things stuff going on. A lot
of weird injuries at the time of times of trom for Boston. I think
I think it's set up for ball because come on, don't go there,
listen, I'm not gonna go there. And then and then you got the
lost and then the way uh and I know, and then the way Minnesota
putting the paul on. But let's not underestimate how good Minnesota showed us that
they were. I know, in your in your words, young athletic,
I think the league run. I think the league wants to see some different
some some younger players in the finals this year. I think. I don't
think it's rigged, but I applaud the teams are now not being bullied anymore.
I put that on my Facebook. I like to see different teams.
But when I when I what did I say to y'all a couple of years
ago, when y'all asked me, who would I build my franchise around an?
Do y'all see it? No? He is, No, it doesn't
mean we have to. Just because we didn't say it doesn't mean we didn't.
Just see what I'm saying. While I was saying what I said,
he see like, ugly, you didn't be that here. You treat that
iPhone like that? I I mean, I see, I see I like
uh, I like Anthony Edwards killer killer instinct. You don't really hear that
from younger as guys anymore. But I do. Like my thing about like
going back to Philadelphia, I think they need to look into the Paul George
situation. Paul George is still I think you're one of the top fifteen players.
Oh God, here we go with that again. He can't They can't
afford it. If they want to win the pay that time, they can't
afford it. And then on top you're gonna go this anyway. Anyways,
My thing is I think Philadelphia needs to get with Paul George. This is
what I posted on my Twitter earlier. I said the NBA is changing.
You post it on your Twitter. These older teams and super teams aren't winning
anymore. I am happy to see that the league is diversifying regarding the small
market and winning teams. Anthony Edwards is probably my favorite non Bucks player outside
of Steph Curry. I won't go as far as calling him a young MJ,
but he is undoubtedly talented. Thank you for that very very well thought
out statement. I mean, because I mean we got to give him credit.
Like when I say this, and I'll say it for Bucks talk,
the Bucks window is probably over. That's a little harsh. I don't know
if it's over, but it's closing in Brod. I'm bro I'm Minnesota.
I'm pretty sure it's not over Oka c. But it's closing in Denver,
Boston, New York, Indiana. These teams are figuring it out, meaning
it's not let me say like this, I like that team. One of
the things that one of the commentators said that Minnesota has on Denver is Denver
is probably well I'll save that from my predictions, but one of the lines
I said, Minnesota is probably deeper and much more athletic than Denver. So
so don't be surprised. I got Minnesota winning in six, but I prefaced
it on my statement saying, don't get it twisted. It's far from over
and it can go either what Okay, I really got dent. I really
think Denver can pull it off, but it could go either way because Minnesota
is a lot quicker than Denver. Joker worked back to what y'all were saying
about injuries. You see all heard Joker. I had to work in game
one. In Game one, they limited Jamal Russell and Jamal was his name,
Murray to seven points. Again, I'm not saying it is, but
I'm saying if it does Denver in trouble. He poured it all in on
on the Lakers. Because I'm gonna tell you like this, Jamal Moter poured
it all in. It took him five zero games. Listen, what I'm
saying is I got it. I was. What I'm saying Kesey and Zeke
is what I'm saying is the Minnesota Timberwolves are built for that athletic basketball.
Denver is used to playing slow ball. I just know too. And it's
far from over. Don't get it twisted. Denver could come in here and
win the next four. I just want to put that out there, but
I would love to see Minnesota win. Think about this, couple might win
one game. Christ you want that bandwagon otis So it's a lot of Minnesota
band It's okay to say I'm not a bandwagon, but I like it because
it's a lot of Minnesota bandwaggers. Well, since we already talking about it,
let's go ahead and move on to second round predictions. Second round predictions.
Let's start in the West. Well, no, you know, starting
the West, starning the West. Okay, see thunder versus the Dallas Mavericks.
Okay, see in six, I got Denver. I got. I'm
sorry, I got Dallas in seven. Okay, see where the Mavericks.
I got Dallas and seven. I got Dallas in five. Wow, overrated,
y'all got y'all got that kind of faith. And the only reason I
say that is because after a team that just okay, he just swept the
team and you got them. It doesn't matter. I'm still a sweet.
Still what I was still a sweet I got? Okay, see Lucas five
against Dallas. Yes, Luca and Kyrie is a problem though they are,
But can they stay healthy? You know you ain't even gotta be healthy for
them on dogs? You do because Luca, Luca built for them. He'll
beat them himself. He will Kyrie. I don't like Luca, but Luca
beat them by himself. Kyrie is gonna be without Kyrie is gonna be the
biggest issue. Okay, who you guys said, I got Dallas and seven.
I got Dallas. I'm gonna say six, not five. So you
think you so you got Dallas winning, but you don't. You know,
they have to earn it is what you're saying. They're not just gonna roll
over. I don't think I think that. I say seven just because Dallas
is known to give away a game. Uh they they maybe even two because
they really should have be the Clippers in five. And I'm going off of
Dallas having a little bit more experience, but I think the talent wise for
okay See, will always keep them in it. So I mean, I'm
going with this. To me, seven is a safe bet, but I
wouldn't be surprised if it was six or maybe catch them on a bad night.
Five just depends. Like you said, I think Kyrie and I think
Luca's gonna throw a clinic on They're gonna throw a clinic, So we'll see
how that go next. Minnesota versus the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timber World versus
Denver Nuggets. Now we just we just went into an extensive conversation about Minnesota.
I'm sure y'all seen Game one. They're already up one zero. I
don't think that's gonna happen in another game. I think Joker is smart enough.
Number one, Rudy Gobert is guarding Joker. He's gonna give him buckets.
I think he gave him forty six one this year. During the season
they do team and then and then on top of that, you got Jamal
Murray. He's not gonna have another seven point game. He's a little hell.
He's a little beat up right now, and I'm gonna see how that
progresses. But I don't. I just feel like I feel like Denver.
Here's my thing about Denver in this series. I'm really going for Denver just
because I think they're the one team in the West who can beat Boston.
So I don't and it's and to me, a lot of stuff goes through
go through, goes through Anthony Edwards and so that being said. With that
being said, he does have a killer mentality this year, he's he's been
different. But I just feel like they're gonna go to seven and if they
and Denver can beat I feel like if Denver can beat Minnesota, they have
a clear playth to the NBA Finals. But this is gonna be their biggest
challenge. So I'm gonna say Denver and seven. But it's mostly because I
want them to play Boston the NBA Finals. I got Minnesota in six.
But I prefaced it on my Facebook by saying this can go either way,
like no, no, no, no, chill out. I don't need
you to dance around the fan. The fan in me wants Minnesota to win,
and I said, Minnesota and six. However, it can go either
way. I'm picking Minnesota and six, but it can go either way simply
because Minnesota, and I think Minnesota is younger, more and more applet I
think that's gonna work in their favor. So Minnesota, I got Minnesota six,
but it can go either way. So you got Minnesota and six.
Just leave it at that. Just just leave at that. Minnesota go either
way. Yeah, he came up, politicians anyways, what's what's say?
What I want to say? Politicians used dance around us. You can't replicate
you say, you can't replicate me if I could report mister Douglas saying what
you want to say? Man, kiss my anyway, kiss my. I
didn't say anything else anyway, Like I said, That's why I didn't say
anything. Can you see what you got all the way across? No Minnesota
verse? Man, please are you but y'all going back and forth like y'all
did for the first thirty one minutes of the show. No, I wasn't
going back. I was here just listening, like, oh my god,
who you got Minnesota, Minnesotamber wars versus Denver. Nuggets got Minnesota in six,
but it can go either way, right, No, you think that
is a problem. Up, he's a problem for their guards in Denver.
I don't think none of the guards can can hang with him. K CP
is done. K c P is a a knuckle under his under his hand
right now? All right, case P is hurt too, Remember that hurt.
He is hurt. Carwell, Pope is no, uh hurt. Both
of them are hurt. They both hurt. And you're going against a young,
healthy ant. That's problem and Cat doing his thing. Like we gotta
give the whole team credit. Minnesota had nine hold up, Minnesota had like
nine players balling out. Yes, And then you gotta think about your sixth
man, Joker. Joker got his work caught out for him because he got
two seven for the second block shout and and their sixth man was on him,
and and your sixth man was read it's tough. I had no idea
he was that tough. I knew he was good, but watching him in
that game, I'm like, read it, I see why you got six
man. I'm with Andre with that one. Yeah, I'm eighty percent with
him. Man, You know, I feel like, come on, that's
what you just did on the mic. So like I said, like I
said, I'm going, I'm going Denver in seventh, and that was actual
Starbucks. You wouldn't be you're done, You're done, give me a Starbucks.
You drink hold the Starbucks? All right? Uh, we don't care
like that. I just say anything, then you'll finished. Between the New
York since he tapped out, no, I tap on your stuff. We
already said it. So Boston Celtics and then Cleveland Cavaliers, they just beat
uh the older Endo Magic in seven. They had to come back Boston.
So is gonna sweep them. They're gonna sweep them. Put no problem at
all. Easy money, easy money, easy money. I don't know.
I don't know if they're gonna sweep them because I don't. You know what
I don't. Spider can still score, yeah, yeah, but he is
overwhelmed right now. He had fifty and he had forty in this game.
You ain't getting fifty on Jason Tatum. Okay, yeah he will. He
won't. Not no defensive stopper, he's not. But suity is not consistent
for fifty Andrew he was in the paint throwing the floaders like off Foot.
I watched both throw holiday on Mitchell, he's too small, just like Jimmy
said he was, you got just one the garden mas. Jimmy was.
Jimmy was a fool on Drew. Dude. Did he not come on?
Did he? Did? He make Drew look bad? Jimmy silent stuff and
made us day in their cry because he was That was the whole point of
him. Hold on. He was like, I own this mother right here.
Every time Drew garden him, he said he owned him. He was
disrespectful. We talked about that. Who you got I got Boston for you
got say? I got Boston five Boston for Boston and six Garland and Garland
and Spiders. Remember Jared Allen's out, so he do Jared Island's out.
I know he he won't be out for long. He won't be at the
whole series. He he's not playing Tuesday. He do he do for a
good game, so he might get two games a series. I'll be he
played horrible this series? He played horrible. Did I'll be very interested to
see that how Boston operates without for Zingers, because for Zingers won't make it
until and if they if they reached the NBA finals, that's maybe yes,
sam Joannisanry right, No, it's something about his uh would kill it this
something like his side or something like that. I forgot what it was or
was it a hamstring and something like that. It was something like that,
either back or hamstring or something like that for listeners for a watchers watch.
And then this is the probably the series I'm probably most excited to see it.
No, not really, but the Knicks, New York Knicks versus Indiana
Pacers. I got the Knicks in the six. I got New York in
six only because I hate the Pacers. I think the Pacers can pull it
off. Though, ain't gonna lie to you. I think the Pacers can
pull it off. But I'm going with New York because I hate the pay
because I hate the Pacers. The Knicks have probably the best. To me,
I can't say all around yeah, all around team. I mean,
Brunston does seventy five percent of their scoring. But you have guys like they
got og who who can hold h he has a calf injury, calf,
but you have o g who can hold and then uh, what the way
he was moving and stuff like that. So they said it's gonna take a
while for him to help. Yeah, he's lucky to get the finals.
They got the same injury. He just said that it's not calf. It
is a calf injury. That's what Yanna's got, a calf injury. All
that's cool, So, uh you bad. I'm not mad at all,
really tired. To be honest with you, if you want to answer the
question, I ask you if he was tired, that's fine. I don't
care that you don't care. I know you don't. So what about the
action. But I got the Nickson six nix is six? What you say?
I got the Knicks in six? But the bag tap bands around it,
around it. I don't the pacers. I don't hate the pacers.
They all played us. They all played us. Yeah, they play,
so you can't be mad at them. But we picked them. I mean
you fanned it up, which okay, But we gotta we gotta figure this
healthy. They don't win, though, I don't think they. I'm watching
this like go seven. I think would yeah, I think it would.
They don't win. I don't win. I don't think because would have put
the team on his back. I don't even think it was that. I
think it has just been the the we can go to we can go in
the Bucks talk. I think that Jannis and the combination of Jannis and Dame
would have got us over the hump. Yeah, because I don't, like
you said, and I don't think haller Burton's been the same. Since he
came back from injury, he has been the same. He put up twenty
points against us maybe twice out of those six games. So, uh,
Indiana is still young, and they still they play like they're young too.
That's how the Bucks got that one game in Milwaukee. They play like they
young, and so the bucksn't capitalized on that week. That's either they couldn't
they We round the players, we had Pet Bat Pet Pat Beverly starting.
My thing is though Pat wouldn't even take shots, what was wrong with him?
He did? I think I think he I think he took a couple
and he was missing, and he's like when he started playing like I'm supposed
to be like, I feel like the Bucks kind of handicapped themselves when they
do when it's just when it's dang, when it's just dang, or even
when it's just Giannis. You know, they got to get their shots up,
they got to shoot their buckets. So I think that that handicaps the
team as a whole because they look handicapped. When Dame came back, they
look handicapped. The game before, which is Game five, they look like,
Okay, anybody can shoot. We all free to shoot. It wasn't
like we need to get this guy the ball. It was anybody can shoot
at any time, and we was just letting him fly. But that's the
thing I keep saying, these these players, they keep watching the Superstars and
started just all and out. I mean, but even if that's the part
of the that's part of being on the team. Even if you watch that
New York game, that young dude on New York, he wouldn't even take
a shot. He had like plenty wide open threes. What is his name?
I want to say Warren, but it's not Warren og No. Number
twenty one off the bench, number twenty one New York for New York.
It's something Warren or something like that. I forgot his name on the top
of my head. But yeah, he like they and that's what anybody Josh
Hart McBride McBride that's who he's talking about McBride. I could say that,
but anyway, that's for any superstar, Like you get the pall of the
guy who's gonna make the high percentage shot. I mean, like I said,
we're going in the buckstock, you're passing that, Well, he's gonna
pass up that shot. You wide open in the three a corner. I
mean, confidence is a thing, though is confident is a thing. But
if I here's the thing, you have to live in doubt superstars. So
if you going and so, if I'm open for the corner and he don't
pass it to me, or let's say he do pass it to me,
my first instinct isn't too I got to get mine. My first instinct is
to make the right basketball play. And the right basketball play is for me
to pass, look for the past first and then shoot. No, he
was wide open, and he drove to the middle and passed it like five
times in a row. I watched him do the same thing. What's the
name struck? I mean like two or three on a ton overs. Though
if he goes over five, then you ask him why he's shooting no,
because then I'm gonna say, all right, we move on you should say
to Ben Simmons, Now I got a better example. That's what you say
about my prince. You just come up to ta shine prince like a doll
because he opened, he opened, he's shooting with he opened? Yes or
no? He shooting? He should step back shooting, but he opened.
No he what do you get up on him? Didn't do a step back
and then shoot animal. Now this this question was posed on Twitter. Who
had the more disappointing season? The Bucks sore, the Phoenix Sons. The
Sons because at least we were injured. I say the Bucks because, uh,
we have two top seventy five guys. They don't. They have three
top thirty players in the NBA Round seventy five. Booker is not on that
list. You have to yes, our top star was hurt. What's the
what what's phoenix excuse? I'm going with Phoenix. They got swept. At
least the Bucks put up a fight and won two games. Right, at
least the Bucks put up a fight. That's no, that's facts. The
Bucks put up a fight. You said between the two, especially between the
two. Now, if you said the most part of the season between the
Lakers and the Bucks, I might have went with the Bucks. Okay,
but the Lakers, I don't expect them to the Phoenix Sun. No,
bro, not not when you get on TV and say who gonna guard us
and get swept? No, sir, Phoenix Son's worst season and they wasn't
even close. Games are not even close. Our top star was injured,
our second best player was injured. Talking about the playoffs, I said season
Phoenix season was terrible. They dang'ted. It wasn't playing. They didn't by
a game and they got swept like a game and a half. They got
swept. I said, season Phoenixes had the worst renumber three we we were
we went from one to three. Phoenix never saw the top. They had
good first half of the season, so they did. They did. They
weren't horrible. They were horrible, but they weren't like, oh my god,
nobody wanted to see Phoenix. People saw Phoenix quickly was like, oh,
there's trouble. The only Jason they would say that is oh, I
mean Devin Booker's out or what's the callers out there? You go, you
got them, It's Phoenix for me. Bucks at free agency coming up,
because we lost to Indiana six games, we got Crowder, he's a free
agent. Pat Beth he's a free agent. Malik Beasley. Beasley, he's
a free agent. And we have Yeah, what's the famous the NASAs?
The NASAs after the combo, after the Koombo will be signed for the league
minimum and we will keep it moving. Now, let's talk about the other
Do we need to resign these gentlemen? What do we because if we don't
have no draft picks, so we're looking after twenty thirty one, I'm cool
with that. That's seven years. I'm cool with that, cool bus having
on draft picks of twenty thirty twenty thirty one. Ya, okay with that.
I'm cool with bar sick seven years. Bro Bro John Horsset needs to
go. Let's let me just start that on well really quick. He needs
to go really quickly before he goes. I don't, I don't. I
don't want to say he needs to go, but I will say he is
up for he had Detroit job basketball operations, and he's he really wants it.
He really, he really wants it because he wants to get out of
here before they let him go. He pull it, you blew it,
you blew it. So so to answer your question, the bus I think
not to sign none of those players. The Bucks need to go spend some
money, get over that salary cap and find us some players. So there's
a nice list of free agents out there right now. You said this last
time, give me some free agents that you think the Bucks just signed.
No, next, we need a center past. We should go out to
Pascal Saka from Indiana. Well, he's a small forward, but he's a
power forward. He's a small forward. It's a power for. He's a
power for. You're right, I mean o Gianobi is a small forward.
The Bucks need a better lineup. If we don't listen to me Yannis or
no Yannis, if we don't get younger, if we don't get better,
we will not win another title next year. We'll be out in the first
or second round. Again. We expect too much from Yanni's We expect too
much from Dang. That's the best player in the world. Best players in
the world still deserve a time to rest a bit. No, they don't.
That's why they're the best player in the world. And you know what
I saw that kind of irritated my soul With Doc Rivers, A reporter asked
Doc, what are your thoughts on Marjon Bochat I already said, he said,
mar John is the best young fucker I've ever seen. But you didn't
play them not it doesn't add up the court. I'm sorry, don't it
don't add up to the court. It don't. I don't care. Don't.
Ain't that what I said? Ain't that what I said? So Doc
is stuck in docs for us to not have a single ounce of a superstar
in Game five? Okay, they still held there. I didn't expect him
to win, but we none of us did. But until the very end,
they literally was still on the ass. Though they was still on the
ass. So if you just had one, I'll tell you what the problem
is. That Game five proved exactly what we talked about last week about you
gotta start using your team because he had no choice in Game five, and
you've seen the potential that was there. So if you take what you did
with Game five and learn how to implement your two returning starters, you have
a nice rotation that can keep your starters from getting hurt. Because it seems
like towards the year, at the end of the year, every year we
losing Yannis for something because he had to carry a load to much disagree.
I actually just say it based on the last episode, which basically means,
just you your fucking this. Hey, it's a family show. This is
a family show, sir. But really quickly, really, as a fan,
I have to go support the nick no longer there little hostility came.
My thing about My thing about that is this number one I see. I
watched I watched game five and the first thing that came out head was keys
seeing it really irritated me. Let's just get that out the way. Nember
too a little true? All right, never too, Yeah, you're still
not right, never too. My thing is thisthing people say, right sixty
five? The point is my thing is this even though Bowl champions, probably
he's probably the most skilled player on the Bucks team. Oh so now you're
giving him some credit. Guess what though it still doesn't add up on the
court, still doesn't add up on the court, because you're not giving me
no point. Did you not listen to what I said? But did you
listen to what I said? What give my opportunity? If you don't have
a consistent role, you don't know how to play? You know who I
all I know. Is this. That's why I said Doc Rivers is stuck
in his old school ways of not playing rookies. He's been that way since
he's been a coach. And if he don't step out of that box,
Milwaukee is doomed. And if Doc Rivers doesn't get it done next year,
he will never coach an NBA again. I said that he will never coach
an NBA again. He better take a long sleep this summer and think about
what's what's next for him and John Horse or whoever. This GM better be.
Better, build a roster that can be Because it's old, it's raggedy,
and they don't score points. I don't think that they old and ragley
I think third oldest team in the NBA behind Golden State. I think.
I think you know what it is. I'm sick of the old coaches who
don't want to adapt to this new NBA style. What does that mean?
What does that mean? You? You? You gotta play young players now,
I agree with that. Just just say that I agree with that this
this is a new style. You gotta play young players, so you should.
You don't. Back of the day, you didn't. Back in the
day, you didn't who's left and who's left Isaiah in the NBA right now?
Young teams because there's not an old team left this player right now because
back of the day, hold on, think about this. Back in the
day, it was okay to not play rookies. You know what I'm saying,
unless she was, Unless she was Michael Jordan. The Lakers are old.
Golden State's old. Phoenix is his old? Who is Phoenix's is old?
Think about that? Is this? This is Let me just put this
out there really quickly. New Orleans is old without Zion? Are you kidding
me? Yes? They are brandon Ingram one player out of fifteen, Okay,
he's still either old. Play Brendan. Brendan England is a year eight.
Come on, man, that's old. And that's a veteran. It's
a veteran's not old. That's old. We got guys ten fifteen. You
know what I look you old players? Sorry, Joe Ingles last year,
Joe Ingle? Do you know think about this? Do you know what the
average NBA career is? Seven years, six maybe four to five years?
Yeah, for Scrubs, no, the NBA, no, his superstarstick a
long time. I thinking about this? Is this you talk about these young
teams. Number one, you just literally said, okay see. Versus Dallas
Mavericks, you said, okay see, is young, the young, and
the inexperienced. That was one of your things that they overrated. Okay,
okay see has no option but to play young players. That's it. Who
else you're talking about? Uh? Who is you talking about? New York?
They just have a collective of guys. They're on the cups, they're
on they have they have a collective of guys who play hard. That's what
their thing is. We play hard, We played to the whistle in the
nothing to do. Oh, there's more of a skill and a coaching.
And then on top of that, uh, the coach that they have a
lot of NBA players do want to play with him because he run them to
the ground. That's what he did to Derrick Rose. So you're talking about
young and if a team doesn't have if a team doesn't have choice but to
play young players, and yes, they play young players and sometimes they succeed.
You're talking about teams. You're talking about Minnesota and you're talking about okay
see, okay see, and okay see in minnesotagainst what happened on last year.
He got swept, They got swept. So when you're talking about bringing
young guys in here, you're talking about the possibility of ending our season like
we did last year. On listen to what you just said. Say who
got swept last year? Okay, see in Minnesota and they was what last
year? Yeah, but guess what that year experience of knowing what it felt
like he had swept and you played, and what did they do this year?
They came back with a vengeance and swept the play. If Anthony Edwards
get hurt, guess what trash? I wouldn't say trash trash to be trash
trash trash, No, why not? No, Anthony Edwards makes Minnesota the
Milwaukee Bucks. No, they're trash. Okay, see if Shade didn't have
this crazy season, he's having trash trash. So you're talking about bringing in
did you bring in some young guys? But I'm saying you're talking about bringing
playing these young guys. I know exactly why bow Champions ain't playing because bow
champ was. He started a couple of games when Chris Middleton was out and
he was getting bumpkiss trash, so he can be the most skilled old guy
on the team, and still not it's still not progressed the points. I
don't care what you did. I don't care what you did the league.
I don't care what you did in the summer. He's starting, he's getting
the slot, he's getting the time. What about player developments? What about
player development? How long was Chris Middleton hurt? He was hurt for two
three weeks. Buchan was starting. It was not getting money, he was
not getting points. He was going back and forth to the G League and
coming back. We send to the league and he scored eighty. So bringing
back he scored. Team. You don't think the Bucks should get younger.
I'm not saying they should get younger. And I see we need a better
support than cash. We're having the same issue that Golden State is having.
We're loyal. You're talking about getting rid of Yianna's brother, getting rid of
Pat Connington and the person we held on to her. The person we held
on to was Chris Middleton. Chris Middleton had bad needs for the last three
years. He did was he was doing. Don't nobody want him doing doing
what he's supposed to do. In the playoffs, I cut him a break,
just open up a market for him. He just opened up a market
for himself this summer he did. I ain't gonna lie playoffs. He opened
up the markets for himself. But my thing is this, you're talking about
bringing in all these young guys. Get Clay. That's the whole player will
take. Get Clay off. I don't want rather, Chris, I don't
want. I don't want Clay because he don't want to be here. And
it's gonna show. He wants to state Bro Golden State, and that's Bro.
He takes the he takes the jetski to work that he writes his jet
ski to work, Clay Johnson times and he'll get resigned jet ski to work.
You want know, damn him and that dog gonna be shaking the little
schoolter things, those things down, the little Butler bikes. Yeah, Butler
bike ride that he ride that bit walked. If I'm if I'm the Bucks,
I'm thrown out a deal. I'll be like a phoenix. Give me
Booker. I'll give you Middleton Bowl champ and a draft pick. They wouldn't
take that. I bet you they would because they know the three of that
ain't gonna work. No, they don't know that Dave and Booker together?
Are you insane that well asked, they'd be like, hey, Bill,
you want to go to Milwaukee? What's up with thing? We don't want
him, We don't want him no more. He to an injury prone You
want him, you won't give him a Middleton, but I'll take them.
You want him for another injured player next to day, I'll take man.
You can't run. I'll take him because y'all team, y'all, you spend
all my money, y'all y'all talking about you just get Bowl championaire for what?
Give him a chance? He's had a chance when Chris Middleton was hirt.
No, okay did he not? He did not not a fair chance.
Adrian Griffin didn't know what he was doing, and clearly Doc doesn't either.
Doc, you got one more year to get it right. Brian Horset
needs to go, then Asses needs to go? Are you crazy? Crowder
needs to go? Like you said, Connieton needs to go. Carmelo could.
Carmelo could have had that exact spot. Exactn't what nobody saying? He
needs to go? Do you know how much his his cornability would have helped
the bucks out and taught them some new things. Just just not even if
he played, just him being in the locker room, What does Arthur Coopo
offer us? He better you better make happy. Dude gets sixty million dollars
a year, he better learn happy. That's it. Then put him on
the coaching staff. Put him on the coaching staff for the training staff don't
want to be there. I bet you if Gianni's went to I bet you
if he ever left and went to the Lakers, they ain't taking the NASAs.
I bet you if he go to New York, they ain't taking the
nasty signed his little brother with both of those places, and now he's okay,
what because of what? Because don't cut dre He signed both of those
teams, signed here and hoping that hey, we got your other brother like
and the other brother was actually better than they was like, we don't know,
we don't like him like that, and the other brother was actually better.
Not the Nazis growing up. I think that was a script just to
make him now look so bad movie basically think it's all I'm trying to see
how much the Bowl Champs, how many games did he start? Because it
was pissing me off what I was talking about. That's because you hate on
the man. We gotta hate him, I thought, I don't hate him,
I just I just see what it is like. I see exactly why
he's not starting. I see exactly why he's in the position he's in,
and it's cool. I can't find it. I'm telling before anyways, So
