1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,839
Going on. Clippers fans, Welcome
to season two, episode two of Clips

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:09,240
and Dip. I am Chuck Mockler, one third of the usual hosting triumphate

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,279
here. Usually it's myself, Adam
Oslin, and Will up Like. They

4
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:16,679
are out of town, unavoidably detained. They're in Norcaw, they're in upstate

5
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:20,160
New York. It's very interesting vibes
over here at Clips and Dip. But

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,280
today we are joined by a show
favorite, Carl Tart. Carl, how

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,879
the hell are you? Lifelong Clippers
fan? What's going on? How's your

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,320
off season? All season has been, to be honest, to put it

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,359
honestly, it's been a frustrating miss
you know what I mean. It's been

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:39,359
a like I mean just sure.
It just feels like, you know,

11
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,280
every time every time I listen to
something about us that is not y'all's show,

12
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,679
like it's said, that's not a
Clipper based pot you know, yeah,

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:55,119
it is just nothing is good about
it. What they say about our

14
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:57,960
team, they and they do the
say where they go. I'm I'm sick.

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,439
Oft Like like Zach low will be
like, I'm done talk about them.

16
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:03,960
I'm done talking about the Clippers.
It's like why give every team from

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,319
Love man. He did. He
did do that to other a couple of

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,680
other teams too, though, But
like I'm like you guys, ever talked

19
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,680
about us before? And now that
Yeah, when you talked about us before,

20
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,959
it was all negative. You wait
till we fail to talk about us,

21
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:17,920
and then when you you you pick
us to win the whole thing in

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,359
the beginning, and then which is
a bad idea? Yes, you know

23
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:23,000
at this point if you're in sports
media, is a bad idea. And

24
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,280
then when we don't do that,
you go, I know, I should

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,079
have known a thing. They sucked. I hate him so much. I

26
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:33,359
have to tell you the story of
talking to uh buddy j ellis from you

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,959
know, everybody knows him as Lawrence
from Insecure or from the new Nissan commercials,

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,200
and of course he is a uh, one of those fans that you

29
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:47,200
know, not from here at all, but as chosen to allege himself to

30
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,200
the Lakers. Okay and the Hardest
Road. Yeah, that's what That's what

31
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:57,159
celebrities do. And we were all
set at History of the World Part two.

32
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:02,920
He's playing Jesus in this show and
I'm playing, uh, what was

33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,599
my Lazarus? Okay? And he
looks at me and he goes, hey,

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:15,879
man, the Clippers are trash.
And I go, what's that for?

35
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,879
J Ellis to me, why are
you saying that to me right now?

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,479
What? What what is that for? Like y'all just man, it

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,879
can't stay healthy. And I goes, j Ellis, the Lakers haven't beat

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,680
us in like ten years, Like
what are you talking about? Like they

39
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,319
beat us a few time, what
are you talking about? They're not good

40
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:34,599
either, Why do you have to
say that to me? Like we're a

41
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,759
better team, we're better work especially, like what are we doing here?

42
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,800
We're not even having beers? And
it was just like these people just like

43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,439
I just want to know why they
hate us so much? But like it

44
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:46,560
is and then they go nobody thinks
about y'all, Goles. I think they

45
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:50,240
think about it. You just came
up to being talked about them. You

46
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,840
just came up into my face,
so you were thinking about yeah, exactly.

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,919
But this has been frustrating. I
can't quit them. Sure, as

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,240
much as I want to, I
want to quit this job so much.

49
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:07,280
I come home every day covered in
dirt and mud and good boots off.

50
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,840
I take my boots off. I
put him by the door. My wife's

51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,479
burnt the dinner. Sure seeing another
man? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

52
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,639
I look in the corner and I
see another pair of shoes that I

53
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,400
know ain't mine, and just yeah, I just sigh and whose Yeah.

54
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:25,120
My son don't respect me and he's
taller than me. Now sure, I'll

55
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,719
tell him to take out the trash, and he goes, you take out

56
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:34,400
the trash. This is the life
I live as a Clipper fan. Yes,

57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,639
that is. I think that's a
pretty fair assessment of this offseason.

58
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,360
We're gonna talk to James Harden stuff
and some Kyrie Irving stuff. We've got

59
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,520
some great mail back questions to get
to. But these James Harden rumors,

60
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:50,080
we've all seen the phrase a million
times. He wants to come home and

61
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,400
play for the Clippers because he opted
in to his contract. And before we

62
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,960
kind of talk about just how we
feel about Harden on the clips. For

63
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,199
those not aware, we cannot stand
James Harden. If we signed him,

64
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,479
he will come here, he will
play for one season and then be a

65
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:12,599
free agent. So whoever acquires him
so one year deal. He's unrestricted after

66
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:15,600
this year, so anyone can offer
anything. I think we might have his

67
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,040
bird rights, but I'm not a
hundred percent sure. Brian Winhorse thought the

68
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,879
Clippers waved Gordon to make it easier
to do an extended trade situation, but

69
00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:29,199
then he just opted into his contract
like eighteen hours later, so that was

70
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,240
moot. I don't know, how
are you feeling? How do you feel

71
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,439
about James Harden on the Clippers?
And it would be a big three scenario

72
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,839
as well too. Everyone who thinks
like we're gonna swap PG for James Harden,

73
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:43,279
that's not gonna happen. How would
you feel about the big three of

74
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Harden, Kauhi in Paul George two
and a half people. I was listening

75
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,639
to Nate Duncan and they were talking
about it last night and they were just

76
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:53,319
saying that this will, this will
be the most clippery thing to do.

77
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,079
And I'm like, what does that
mean? Is it a bad deal?

78
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,519
Because when I look at it honestly, and please educate me, I don't

79
00:04:59,519 --> 00:05:02,160
claim to be basketball expert. I'm
just a fan. I'm an armchair quarterback.

80
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,319
Uh please, I'm an armchair point
guard. Sure. I'm like,

81
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:15,360
please tell me what is wrong with
adding this guy? When I look at

82
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,079
the potential starting lineup of Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul

83
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:26,040
George and whoever we have in the
middle, because Zoo's up for anyway,

84
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:28,800
Zoo's up. Zoos we'll talk about
that too, but Zoo is up.

85
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,879
So even if if it's Zoo,
if it's plumbly, if we go back

86
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,399
and get Hardenstein back, if it's
him, like, if it's like,

87
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,240
if it's anybody, you know,
I want das read that was my guy.

88
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:42,439
But if it's like, that's a
dope ass starting lineup, right,

89
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,519
Yeah, I like that. The
issue for me is what are we sending

90
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:48,439
out right? That's what's so dependent
on this. Kevin O'Connor suggested a trade

91
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,639
package that I thought was kind of
insane, but the Clippers would get James

92
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,360
Harden and PJ. Tucker in exchange
for Terrence Man, Norm Powell, Robert

93
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,800
coming to Nick Patum the twenty twenty
eight first and the twenty thirty first round

94
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,480
pick, which to me, that
is absolutely insane. We're keeping Marcus Morris

95
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:12,120
and we're giving up two first round
picks for a guy who might resign with

96
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,279
us. Yeah, yeah, I
don't want that. See, I didn't

97
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:17,040
even hear about that one. The
one that I heard about was a more

98
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:27,240
favorable one, sure, which was
James and Toby for Norm Mooke Roco Betune

99
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,639
in the twenty twenty eight first round. I would probably a lot, but

100
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,680
I would do that. I would
do that if we're getting Toby, Yes,

101
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,879
absolutely, I'm not adding two first
round picks in the trade involving we're

102
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:43,079
petting and if we could sign in
the trade, you know, if we

103
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:46,959
could sign hard and long term,
that's another discussion with the age and everything.

104
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,680
But we lose all those can we
lose all those guys to get PJ

105
00:06:49,879 --> 00:06:54,279
old A's PJ Tucking had hardenes us, Oh, I'm gonna go across the

106
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,279
Halton Lakers. Yeah, yeah,
because you know that's who he wants to

107
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,120
play for. Of course, that's
it's so frustrating. Um So, if

108
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,399
this trade, like in zoobox,
is apparently available in trade talks now,

109
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,839
um with some people thinking that plumb
Lee would be a fine starting center in

110
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,439
his place, I'm not sure I
totally agree with that. Um So,

111
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:16,480
basically everyone but two, one,
three, Terrence and Bones seems to be

112
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:20,240
available from the Clippers, So there
might be a huge shakeup. I agree

113
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:26,519
with with plumb Dog being a starting
center. If we have all those other

114
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:28,959
guys, you know what I mean, if we have James, we have

115
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:31,240
James Harden and PJ Tucker, I
agree with Honestly, that could be the

116
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:35,879
starting five. Like if you're starting
PJ Tucker. Yeah, like we go

117
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:40,879
small. I mean, I know
that it doesn't sound like beautiful basketball,

118
00:07:40,879 --> 00:07:43,639
but like we can run if all
those guys are healthy, we could We

119
00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:46,680
could really run shit up with that. And we're keeping Terrence and bones theoretically,

120
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,199
I'm not sure I totally trust that. Like, do you actually think

121
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:53,959
the front office is like work?
They don't even play Terrence Man that much.

122
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:58,040
Yeah, but I like and and
I keep hearing that like Brandon Boston

123
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,279
and Jason Preston will both have bigger
roles next season. I know you hate

124
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,439
Jason Preston with the passion in five
of a thousand, So I don't hate

125
00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:07,920
him that much. I think he's
I do think he's green, but I

126
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,720
do think that he's got a you
can mold him. I think Tyler is

127
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,360
a perfect person to mold him into
an NBA caliber point guard. Okay,

128
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:18,800
so he played one hundred and twenty
four minutes last year for the Clippers.

129
00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:22,639
If he plays over one hundred and
twenty four minutes, I will agree that

130
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:26,240
he had a bigger role. But
the man is not an NBA player right

131
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:30,079
now. Uh. I mean he's
proven that he is. He can score

132
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,279
the basketball at the NBA level.
I think, Uh, he's not great.

133
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,320
Yeah, he's not. He's not. He's bad. So he's a

134
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,960
backup point guard. You would have
Jason Press. No, I would say

135
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,320
he's I would say he's at three. So who's two? Shit? Bon

136
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,919
Thyland all right, I'm fine about
that. That's good. I don't know

137
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,399
about Jake. I mean, Brandon
Boston obviously has a way. Let me

138
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:54,240
ask you this, Let me ask
you this. Yeah, let me ask

139
00:08:54,279 --> 00:09:00,679
you this. Uh, Xavier Moon
or Jason Preston, Javir Moon, all

140
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:05,159
right, vibes are there. He's
a better NBA player I think than Jason

141
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,360
Preston. My Instagram, my Instagram
home right there, Xavier Moon? Yeah,

142
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,279
there we go? See um?
And now, so James Harden.

143
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,679
The fit seems like it makes sense, right Like, I don't think anyone's

144
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,600
worried about the actual basketball ness of
it. No, it's money, it's

145
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:24,360
money ness that they're worried about.
It's money and the disappearing in the playoffs.

146
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,039
Yeah, when he does it,
because he does have some great performances.

147
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,960
It was like a month and a
half ago where he was trying his

148
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:35,120
best to say the sixers, and
then he ultimately disappeared, which you kind

149
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,159
of knows gonna happen. So I
guess we just hope Kawhi is the man

150
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:45,639
in the playoffs and then PG and
James Harden can take turns going off if

151
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:50,519
with this new collected bargain in agreement, we're gonna you've read a Yeah,

152
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:54,080
all those pages I've sat and red
I put, I put my tiny glasses

153
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,919
on the edge of my nose and
I went through it page. I printed

154
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,399
it out. I went to Kinko's
and I went to and I printed it

155
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,759
out. That's expensive. Yeah,
yeah, it cost me a lot of

156
00:10:01,759 --> 00:10:07,440
money diamond page or something like.
Yeah, it was like it was like

157
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,360
three hundred dollars. And I read
it at king goes next to a man

158
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:16,519
watching Porno on the computer. He
was printing out some church flyers. Yeah

159
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,679
yeah, but uh yeah, okay, so we gotta is it is it

160
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,600
all gonna go down. It's an
hour and fifteen minutes. It might go

161
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:28,399
down. Man, we might be
on here when the free agencies. But

162
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,960
so also one thing that's annoying is
that we're dealing with Darryl Morey, who

163
00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:39,639
is someone who exhausts every possible nook
and cranny for a trade or something like

164
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,519
that, and so this could just
take a very long time. There's no

165
00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:50,879
real rush from their perspective. When
I heard Nate Duncan say this is the

166
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:56,799
clipperiest clipper thing that they could do
by getting James Harden, what made me

167
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:58,720
nervous about that was just like you
just said, like that package that you

168
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:03,159
just mentioned, that's it. That's
bad, that's a bad track, and

169
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,559
we shouldn't do that. I do
want to add somebody. I want to

170
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,600
add a third a third star,
especially with the CVA the way it is,

171
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,480
I would love to add a third
star. I don't mind losing some

172
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,639
guys for that. I think we
talked yesterday. I don't want to lose

173
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,480
Team Man, sure, but if
he's if he's frustrated, I think we

174
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,600
both know that Team Man and Zoo
have been frustrated with the way things that

175
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,960
you've been carrying A lot of weight
for this team, they've been carrying a

176
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,399
lot of weight. And also but
also you know, I was just watching

177
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:37,600
did you watch the Bill? The
Bill? Walton dot not yet he went

178
00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:43,080
through the same exact thing with the
same exact team as Kawhi Lennard. Yeah,

179
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,519
where the team is like, bro, come on man, what's happening?

180
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,399
Why are you hurt all the time? Yeah? He was like,

181
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,480
bro, I don't know. My
body is failing me. I can't hear

182
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,720
you. We're back. Yeah,
he doesn't want to be hurt like that

183
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,879
wants to be hurt. No,
nobody wants to be Nobody wants to be

184
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,480
hurt. Nobody wants to be hurt
like it was this and there was a

185
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,000
video of a player, Derek Smith, who played on the team in the

186
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,879
in the eighties, and he was
just like, well, we gotta trust

187
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:16,000
him, Like we can't assume that
he's not actually hurt. We gotta just

188
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,519
we gotta. Yeah. It was
just like like have you ever you played

189
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:26,080
obviously high levels of sports when you're
actually hurt and one of your teammates kind

190
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,080
of gives you like a like are
you come on, bro? Like are

191
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,360
you really hurt? You're like yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't move

192
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,799
my arm to my coach. I
had a I had a thing called the

193
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,320
Spagalian hernia, and I was in
an Italian hernia. It was an Italian

194
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,200
hernia. It was filipasta. It
was just I had a big ball of

195
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:48,480
pasta on myself the absense of yeah, gravy. Yeah. The doctor,

196
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:56,440
the doctor insized it and he squeezed
it and just uh noah. But like

197
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,639
I was, I was. The
doctor told me I couldn't play for like

198
00:13:00,759 --> 00:13:03,159
he was like, just give it
like two weeks, Like it's fine.

199
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,039
It's just a thing that you got
hit in a weird place and you're strained

200
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,000
in some sort of way. You'll
be fine. And my coach was like,

201
00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:13,720
man, you go over there,
man gonna do something because I was,

202
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:15,879
I was at practice, you know, kind of standing with the guys

203
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,919
and kind of cutting up a little
bit, and coach, let me get

204
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:20,080
out of here, man, Like
you're gonna be doing that. You're gonna

205
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,159
be out here acting like you hurt
and stuff. To go do something.

206
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,919
Laughing when you're hurt. Oh yeah
you can laugh. Yeah, yeah exactly.

207
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:30,720
Like like I was, like I
brought you the doctor's no you don't

208
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,360
believe it, Like, yeah,
my coach was like, you know,

209
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,919
I'm sure he thought I was a
pretty soft guy, but like I wasn't

210
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:39,720
a very aggressive dude on football field. Football was never gonna be my actual

211
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:45,600
sport. But football coaches, they're
like forty years behind what you should do

212
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,399
with your body healthful. Ye anyway, absolutely so, I don't know,

213
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,159
man, it is uh when these
guys are hurt, like, it sucks.

214
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,960
Everybody's feeling it. It sucks.
I would love to get James Harden,

215
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,240
but we cannot. We cannot kill
of the team for James Harden.

216
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,919
When Kauhi, who knows how much
he's gonna play, I'm sure PG will

217
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,639
play. I'm at the beginning,
like, of course, you want to

218
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,519
get ahead of it, and these
people all want to get ahead of it

219
00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:15,080
and say they can't stay healthy.
Blah blah blah. I'm betting on PG

220
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,519
playing the whole season, damn the
whole like PG season. So like maybe

221
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,399
sitting some back to backs, yes, yes, yeah for sure, but

222
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,000
like normal season, Yes, a
normal season of basketball for a player of

223
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,480
his caliber, which everybody did,
like every everybody, like the Warriors didn't

224
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,759
play back to back that whole eight, whole rotation, guys not playing back

225
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,759
to backs and shit. So like
what, I don't We're not the only

226
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,639
team that that shit happens to.
Kawhi. I would not bet on him

227
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,519
being fully healthy, but I definitely
got the procedure. He supposedly he's gonna

228
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:48,519
be ready. They cleaned it up. They went in there and they took

229
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:52,639
out the shrapnel. Yeah, and
whatever was inside his name. I don't

230
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:54,759
know how that shit works. I
would love to know how that works.

231
00:14:54,759 --> 00:14:58,559
How a clean up procedure works to
me in my head. They cut his

232
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:03,600
knee open and then they take like
a little microscopic literally I just think of

233
00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:07,159
like an ice scraper, and they
just go there. They go done,

234
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,000
done, So the backup get I
don't know what they're cleaning up, Like,

235
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,919
I don't know what's on his knee
or whatever. Yeah, exactly what

236
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,759
is on what is building up on
his yea? It needs to be cleaned

237
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,519
up. But yeah, man,
I don't like I would assume that Pete

238
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:24,399
we're gonna have PG for a while. James Harden is fairly durable. That

239
00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:28,720
would be nice to have him.
Whoever we got playing in the middle would

240
00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:33,320
be great, but we know you
have no qualms about adding Zoo and a

241
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,480
James Harden trade. Hell no,
Um, how okay, so there was

242
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:43,840
some other so your pro James Harden
depending on what the deal is. I'm

243
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:50,679
in the same boat. If we're
moving are old and slow power forwards.

244
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,960
I'm not sure why Philly would do
this. But if we're moving our old

245
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,519
and slow power forwards and we can
get like a NORM, it would suck

246
00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:00,159
to lose Norm. But I don't
think people want that contract. But it's

247
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,320
like, then you do it to
get you and you've got to throw on

248
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,279
Brandon Boston whatever. I know you
don't want to part with Jason Preston.

249
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,279
I know that's a no go for
you. Six Ers asters a mere coffee.

250
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:15,120
Jason Preston as Moon Like, they
can't go Brandon Boston throw him in

251
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:17,639
here. I mean, I'm giving
you're giving up, But Jason Preston,

252
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,519
you're on port with president. And
also we got our boy Kobe Brown.

253
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,919
Sure yeah, the oldest guy in
the draft other than the other guy we

254
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,200
drafted. Um. Kyrie Irving set
to meet with the Clippers today once free

255
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,000
agency starts. If kind of a
surprise that he's meeting with us. If

256
00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:36,600
this were to happen, the Clippers
would have to clear kind of a shitload

257
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,159
of cap space for a sign and
trade because that's what he's looking for,

258
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,440
and a salary to be thirty million
or forty five million, So some messiness

259
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:47,279
there. I think, how do
you feel about Kyrie on this team?

260
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:53,960
He's a guy basketball wise who seemingly
feels like he would fit okay basketball wise,

261
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,840
basketball wise, you guys were going
off pretty heavily in the group chat

262
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,879
yesterday, and because I am the
Hebrew is realized, I was am staying.

263
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,799
I don't think I said anything crazy. Uh, you and you and

264
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:08,720
Will was going pretty hard on old
Kyrie. No, I'm just playing.

265
00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:15,839
But I uh, every day I
wish Will. I wish Will would.

266
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,279
He could do a lot for the
movement, yelling at people at the at

267
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:25,920
the train station. I wish he
would do that on the Sorry we're gonna

268
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,200
I know that people have this this
conception that Kyrie ruins every team he goes

269
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,160
to, and that I just think
he wants the right fit man, and

270
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,759
he's tried a lot of fits,
and and I don't I don't fall to

271
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:41,559
him for that. He's a really
good basketball player. I don't think.

272
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:47,319
I kind of got to James Harden
like energy in my head last night,

273
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,279
and so I kind of would lean
towards that. I was. I was

274
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:53,599
thinking about that very much want to
be here based on all of this.

275
00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:56,519
He wants to come and play for
his home team stuff. That's a lot

276
00:17:56,519 --> 00:18:00,880
more that we've heard from Kyrie.
We did learned that that was a smoke

277
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,680
screen, that that was that that
was a he opted in and started,

278
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,480
you know, going like Clippers Knicks, Clippers Knicks, because so to make

279
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:11,960
to make the Sixers move. But
now they have to move him for something

280
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:17,000
to like not technically he's under contract, they don't technically have to move him.

281
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:18,720
It would be a bad financial deal
for them moving though. Yeah,

282
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:25,920
I mean if they kept him and
he didn't play. Yeah, but that's

283
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,960
what I read. I read that
it was a smoke screen at first,

284
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:33,200
but now it's actually could be happening. Uh. But Kyrie. I love

285
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:34,839
Kyrie. I would love see Kyrie
and Clipper Jersey and he would be so

286
00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:38,200
funny. He's also fairly durable.
You know, he's had some injury seasons,

287
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,119
but who hasn't, I mean this
team, Yeah, to add another

288
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,160
one. Yeah, I don't think
he's the same injury caliber as those guys,

289
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,640
you know what I mean. When
we were gonna add Malcolm Brogden,

290
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,960
I was like, well, they
supposedly re kind of started that up a

291
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,880
little bit. They contacted Boston about
Brogden I think earlier this week again,

292
00:18:56,279 --> 00:19:02,880
which why why all right, we
already turned it's it once once? The

293
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,319
Clippers were like, so Boston was
being really weird about the medicals. I

294
00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:08,599
guess the Clippers asked for more information
than Boston was just like, we're canceling

295
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,799
this trade, which so I'm like, why go back? What's gonna be

296
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:17,599
better? Why better to hear?
Now? Why go back to that?

297
00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:19,680
Also, if we end up with
all this noise that we have over the

298
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:26,240
fans, twenty four hours between James
Harden and Kyrie meeting with us and peoples

299
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,720
any towns and man between autists,
and then we end up with old Gooseneck

300
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:36,720
Malcolm Brockden, oh my gosh,
I'm gonna like, I'm I'm might running

301
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,000
it back with every Well, what
if we got rid of Morris to get

302
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Malcolm Brogden. If it was a
straight up from Malcolm Brockden, Marcus Morris.

303
00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:48,240
Yeah, I'll take it was Marcus
Morris and two second round picks.

304
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,640
Wasn't your initial trade right for Brock? Somebody else was in there, right,

305
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,079
I mean, look, wasn't it
somebody else? It wasn't just that

306
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,839
might have been just that. But
because I know there's some draft compensation,

307
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:07,200
Um yeah, I don't know.
It's it's weird. Um, and you

308
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,480
know we're recording it. Do any
other I want to know, like,

309
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:14,720
do any of the other teams?
So the lockdown Clippers guy said something.

310
00:20:14,759 --> 00:20:21,400
He said certain fan bases would kill
to be in a position that to have

311
00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:25,000
ten winning seasons like we have and
stuff like them, like do they care?

312
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:29,599
Do they actually care? I like
the way we care. I don't

313
00:20:29,599 --> 00:20:33,720
know, because they haven't been as
sorry as the Clippers kind of work,

314
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:37,319
you know what I mean. Um, yeah, we had a horrible run.

315
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:38,880
We had the we had the worst
owner in the history of the NBA

316
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:44,240
maybe sports, maybe sports honestly,
you know, kind of pop culturally.

317
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:47,799
So I don't think they would kill
for it, though, because it's like,

318
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,200
yeah, if you tell if you
love the regular season, we've been

319
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,599
great. But it's also totally okay
to be like we've underperformed and it's been

320
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,640
a bit underwhelming in this two one
three era. They probably they were probably

321
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:03,160
here to win a championship, not
to be over five hundred regular season.

322
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:10,559
Great, it's cool. We can't
like we you can do that in Indiana.

323
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,599
Yeah, you're the only team they
love basketball and you're the only team.

324
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,400
Yeah. We cannot afford it.
We cannot afford it. We gotta

325
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,440
get some, We gotta get some. Exactly, Um, all right,

326
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,359
we got some questions to get to
coming up after this break. The noise

327
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,359
level has been a little bit loud, So if that's been your case,

328
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,680
go ahead and turn it down.
We got wonderful fan questions coming up after

329
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,240
this break in three two one,
Welcome back to Clips and Dip. You

330
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,039
can find this podcast on Spotify,
iTunes, Deezer, Stitcher, all those

331
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:44,839
great places. Season two. The
seasons apparently start at the draft. So

332
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,039
this is the second episode that we've
done a season two. We're joined by

333
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,279
Carl Tart. Got some mail bag
questions. Timmy Kane wants to know am

334
00:21:52,279 --> 00:21:57,200
I being naive or optimistic for still
believing in this team? As long as

335
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,279
we can make a slight upgrade at
the four whether it be getting someone or

336
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,799
just playing quiet or Rocoa with the
four more, I still feel like we're

337
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:11,359
a contender. Please talk some sense
into me. Carl's Jimmy naive or optimistic?

338
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,480
Na man, you're optimistic. I
think we have to be Timmy Kang.

339
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:18,960
Listen, nothing is set in stone. This is one thing I when

340
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,720
I when I hear people discuss our
team and I go to gym and everybody

341
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,759
in the gym as a Laker fan, and they're all like, you know,

342
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:32,759
clowning on me, and I go
from the day, Yeah, yeah,

343
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:37,039
they're not spotting me. They said, I'm trying to bench. Yeah

344
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,359
yeah, But I go in the
gym like this, I read hard,

345
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,359
like I'm wearing my my former Statement
edition shirt. They'll probably they'll they'll recycle

346
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,880
that in a couple of years.
That'll be That'll be the new Statement that'll

347
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,759
come back. Uh. Look,
honestly speaking, you are not being naive.

348
00:22:53,799 --> 00:22:57,240
You're being optimistic because you got love
for this team. Nothing nothing about

349
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:03,640
us on paper, it's set in
stone. Kauhi could have a fully healthy

350
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:10,000
season. It is possible. People
saying it's impossible don't know anything. All

351
00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:14,039
we can do is believe at this
point, and I am up the mindset

352
00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:17,400
of we already. I love listening
to Law Murray on on the show when

353
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,000
he was talking about we already blew
it up, like this is a new

354
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:25,759
look team. It is unless they
completely bring everyone back. Yeah, like

355
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:30,720
like it it's I think that it's
okay to be to have faith in a

356
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:34,440
team when you have, when healthy, a top three player in the league

357
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:41,880
and a top twenty number two you
can possibly have. Yeah, and if

358
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,440
we get if if if we add
a piece like if we keep Russ honestly,

359
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,160
or if we add a piece like
James Harden or somebody like that,

360
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,920
we're gonna get. We're gonna get
somebody today. I'm assuming, like I

361
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,119
don't love what's gonna have. It's
got to happen via trade because free agency.

362
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,720
It's just like they're still trying to
get older. You've got the CPA

363
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:04,799
printed out. I gotta print I
gotta run back to Kings left it there.

364
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,200
But yeah, yeah, and the
guy, the guy that was watching

365
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:17,920
porn next to me is uh probably
going through it right. Yeah, Listen,

366
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,720
man, I don't think it's I
don't think it's naive to believe in

367
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:22,519
your team. Bro, everybody will
tell you to be naive. Everybody we've

368
00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:29,640
been the most, like we are
the most gaslighted fan base. If you

369
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,519
look at us on paper, you
think, oh shit, this is it.

370
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,319
They got the team, They got
the team, and then we underperform

371
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,920
and that sucks. But we're not
the only team. Only one team can

372
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,319
win a championship. Everybod, that's
true. So like the different factors go

373
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,440
into different things. Uh like,
keep believing, I'm gonna keep turn just

374
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,440
be like, we're not gonna win
shit. I might as well not even

375
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,599
watch, Like okay, not even
watch. I might as well just be

376
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,960
a be a general, a general
basketball fan, like like like every other

377
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:02,640
player, don't say shit about the
team if you're gonna just be like,

378
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,880
we're not gonna win anything. Because
here's my thing. I believe this team

379
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,599
can win a championship if they're healthy. Um, but you can still think

380
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,319
there's things to fix. If you
just don't believe in the team at all,

381
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,880
then I don't want to hear people's
thoughts on it, because I'm like,

382
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:21,640
you don't believe exactly, you're starting
a bad faith exactly. Focus on

383
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,599
the team getting better, Focus on
the team, focus on what the positives

384
00:25:23,599 --> 00:25:27,960
of it are. I like the
team. Like I said, nobody can

385
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:32,839
predict the future. This may be
we can. You can say it's being

386
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,680
naive, but this may be the
year that everybody just is healthy at the

387
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:40,519
right time and we put off the
MP through it all. Can't believe this

388
00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:42,480
is my life, Yeah, can't. Like, dude, I chose this.

389
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,079
I chose this life. That's why
I can't. That's why I got

390
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:49,559
a ball out in every other aspect
of the writer. Strike is not helping

391
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:52,559
me with the Clippers, I'll tell
you that much. Because everything is uncertain.

392
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,559
I haven't worked in months, and
uh and uh and SAG might go

393
00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:00,480
on strike today too, the same
day that NBA free agency is. Things

394
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,200
are heavy, LA. If you
don't live in Los Angeles, things are

395
00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:11,799
slowly, yeah, maybe quickly deteriorating
industry wise, and I yeah, I'm

396
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,680
I'm with Timmy on this one.
The Clippers are also trying to trade Morris

397
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:21,480
and norm maybe together, which is
around like thirty five million dollars, So

398
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,119
that I mean to me, if
we're getting a guy who makes thirty five

399
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:29,759
million dollars, that sounds like the
hardened trade. Um and you know,

400
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,480
maybe we throw on a young guy
there, so like that. Honestly,

401
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,880
if we move Morris and can just
upgrade his spot and we run everyone back,

402
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,839
I'm happy. And also, you
gotta remember this. People talk about

403
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,400
age a lot. These two guys
that we got in this draft. Yes

404
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:55,680
they're older, sure, twenty three
years old or whatever. We look at

405
00:26:55,759 --> 00:27:00,599
look at what Jalen Brunson is doing. Yes, a four year college player

406
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:03,359
was a beast in college. Like
look at what he's doing. Like,

407
00:27:03,839 --> 00:27:07,000
look at what Kyle Kuzma came in
and did. Now he's he's in talks

408
00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:12,480
today of getting a big deal somewhere. Like, it's it's fine having older

409
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,720
players. I don't know what the
like. Of course you want to develop

410
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:18,880
the nineteen year old victim women Yama, the nineteen year old Luca. Of

411
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,000
course you want that. But when
you get some players that could come in

412
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,519
and help you immediately, I guarantee
you, for what Marcus Morris gave us

413
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:32,519
last season, put me down for
five hundred dollars, that Kobe Brown can

414
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:37,160
do that. Yeah, I mean
not a high bar, not exactly,

415
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,920
That's what I'm saying. Not a
high bar at all. Kobe Brown can

416
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,240
do that. Um Man the Kobe, he won't be and he wonna be

417
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,880
mad that he's not starting. It's
like Adams here, I feel like I

418
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,359
haven't even talked at about the draft
picks yet, but I know that he's

419
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:56,440
probably already ordered the jerseys from those
two guys and another kid, you know.

420
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,519
You know, I'm shout out to
a coach j Jay Lar not on

421
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:06,359
our on our on our team coaching
staff. His father is the coach at

422
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,759
Miami. Of course, we always
know a guy and he's he's real big

423
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,039
on the guy that we chose out
of Miami, really okay, and a

424
00:28:15,079 --> 00:28:19,519
guy like that working with a Paul
George, who is one of the best

425
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:23,240
small forwards two way small forwards ever. You gotta give it to him,

426
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:27,400
like, yeah, he that's good. That's a good development right there.

427
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,640
And he's at an age where that
dude, you know, he's he's older,

428
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,599
he can he can really learn from
a guy like Paul George and really

429
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,680
come in and maybe make you know, at least get some maybe get some

430
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,400
vible minutes, you know, in
those moments where we don't have our guys

431
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:44,039
so the young and that's like that's
I think there's gonna be moments where we

432
00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:47,680
don't have our guys. Yeah,
which is why this hardened thing is is

433
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:52,839
incredibly important and kind of keeping some
semblance of a team together. And why

434
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,680
that Kevin O'Connor idea makes no sense
because we're sending out like six guys to

435
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,519
get two back. Yeah, it
would just be screwed. Um. Trent

436
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:06,400
maddox asked last season during our first
mail bag, he asked if Reggie could

437
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,559
win sixth Man of the Year after
he made Terrence the starting point guard.

438
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,960
That didn't happen this season. He's
going with shouldn't Man be the starting point

439
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,720
guard? Stats show he was great
in the role and the team went twelve

440
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,160
and eight in his starts. We
just kind of talked about Russ. If

441
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,519
the Clippers do not bring back Rust, they've already waived Arrett Gordon somewhat maybe

442
00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:27,400
prematurely. Terrence has to be the
starting point guard right if we don't get

443
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Rush back, we don't have Eric
Gordon. Who other than Terrence Man is

444
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,559
going to be our starting point guard
right now? Jason Preston, I'm just

445
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:44,319
I'm just just kidding. I'm just
getting into it. Welcome to the End

446
00:29:44,359 --> 00:29:49,119
to a built by Jason Jason the
house that Jason Preston built. Listen.

447
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,480
Uh, I think darres Man could
be the starting point guard. But however,

448
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:03,119
I will say this hot take from
Clipper Nation, Uh, twelve and

449
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:10,440
eight is not that double record number
one? Pretty good? Yeah, twelve

450
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:17,599
and eight is is Kroger Brandton and
teen Uh. And also, Terrence Man

451
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:22,200
is a Swiss Army Knight. He
could play every position. He's not great

452
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,720
at the point guard position, you
know what I mean. He's good at

453
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:30,880
it, like, but is he
a starting caliber point guard in the NBA?

454
00:30:30,279 --> 00:30:33,759
Uh? Debatable. I think he's
a starting caliber player. So here's

455
00:30:33,799 --> 00:30:37,559
That's the thing with Terrence is that
he doesn't have an actual role on this

456
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:40,720
team. Yeah, he doesn't have
his not his fault. No, They're

457
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:42,920
like he plays the six and it's
like that's not a real that's not a

458
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,759
real answer or anything like that.
Like, so I think they need to

459
00:30:47,799 --> 00:30:51,119
have an actual, defined role for
Terrence. And I think he's great in

460
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,079
the two spot for the starting lineup. I think he's convinced PG and Kawai

461
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,079
to move a spot down. I
don't know if that's possible. Maybe it

462
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,440
is through trades and you know,
we kind of cut some fat at the

463
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,720
four. Um. Then I think
Terrence at the two is awesome. And

464
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:06,920
I think if you get James Harden
and can keep Terrence man, Terrence is

465
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,000
cutting and all that stuff really helps
out James because he's a great. Yeah.

466
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:15,880
So I like where trance Head is
at. I mean he would he's

467
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,200
a solid point guard. But I
think if they are going to actually develop

468
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:21,680
him, it's got to be at
the two. Yeah, in a real

469
00:31:21,799 --> 00:31:25,400
way. But that is also health
dependent, which is where we kind of

470
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,400
get into some some trouble there.
Oh tell me about it. Um.

471
00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:33,640
Davy Neubauer asks, how can we
get the most of man and bones if

472
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,960
that means not bringing Rust back.
I'm fine with that. Rust put up

473
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,519
great numbers in the playoffs, but
I'm not convinced that will lead to winning

474
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:45,880
basketball in the playoffs. I'm not
Why aren't you convinced that? Well,

475
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,039
I think it's I will say,
I think it's hard to judge it because

476
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:49,640
he just was out there by himself. He was out there by him Zelvi.

477
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,480
He hand on hill right like.
And that's also why he was the

478
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:56,400
best performer like people like, he
was our best player in the playoffs.

479
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,720
I'm like, correct, start the
guy he started teams ring those playoffs?

480
00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:04,160
Right, let's look it up right
now. I didn't watch those games.

481
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,400
I was too sad. But uh
hey, we've all been there. Um,

482
00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:14,440
he did not start. Who was
Norm starting? Let me look at

483
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:20,039
this who hell was starting those playoff
games? Yeah? Russ, Norm Morris

484
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Zoo and Eric Gordon? Oh my
gosh. Yeah right, so Terrace isn't

485
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,440
getting shit even, like and choir
out there like, why would we start?

486
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:38,759
You? Bro? I don't understand
that. I don't really understand that.

487
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,200
I think I think that was a
ego. I think that was an

488
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:47,319
ego thing for for from Muke.
Uh, bones is gonna be good?

489
00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:52,240
Like, let's make him the the
backup point guard. Yeah, he's a

490
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,440
great shooter. He could, he
could, he could, he could learn,

491
00:32:55,519 --> 00:33:00,160
he could do some some more.
Yeah, he's fun, he can

492
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:02,359
learn, he could, he could. You know he's gonna get better that

493
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:08,359
mic um, Yeah, yeah,
he's gonna get better. But where are

494
00:33:08,359 --> 00:33:10,759
you out on the rust thing?
Do you want Russ back? Yause?

495
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:15,319
I'm pretty sure it's the mL E. I don't I look, I'm only

496
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:20,839
halfway through your your printed off copy
of the CBA. I got some papers

497
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,680
disorgan they're out of order. But
I think we can only give him the

498
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:25,759
mL E, which is like,
but I'm also like, who is giving

499
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:30,640
him more money? What team is
out there other than the Clippers that's like,

500
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,160
oh, we need for us for
fifteen million dollars a year. There

501
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,160
there was a list of teams that
that that could could pay him, and

502
00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:40,680
they were all teams and I'm like, why would why would any of them

503
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:44,160
do that? They're not gonna do
it, Yeah, except except maybe,

504
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,880
okay, see if he wants to
come and have one last who ride there

505
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,880
as a backup point guard d s. See. I don't think he wants

506
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,680
to be a backup. Like if
you're him, he was just given the

507
00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:59,079
keys to a team that was supposed
to win the championship. Just yeah,

508
00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:02,279
immediately, yeah, So why would
you not go back to that? I

509
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:07,559
guess I think with first of all, we talked about this, the idea

510
00:34:07,559 --> 00:34:14,079
of having James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Kawhi, Leonard, Paul George all

511
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:19,239
starting on a team Harden and Russ. If we get both of them,

512
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,840
it's going to be a goddamn nightmare. I don't think so I think they

513
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,239
kill each other. I don't think. How did they do in Houston?

514
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,320
Not very good? Are you sure? I don't know. I don't.

515
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,760
I didn't work right, like,
I mean, they didn't win a championship.

516
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,800
But what is working? I mean
I get. I mean I didn't

517
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:42,119
work enough for them to keep it
going. No, No, I didn't.

518
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,760
I think I like that idea selfishly. All these LA guys playing for

519
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:52,679
the same LA team, and I
think it's really cool that I played against

520
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,800
all these guys in high school and
this this is uh, this is for

521
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,719
you. This would be a special
little treat for you. Yeah, so

522
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,760
the center, can we get from
southern California to come play? Let's just

523
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:08,599
bring Tyson Chandler back. He could
play in his old high school jersey.

524
00:35:08,679 --> 00:35:15,800
Yeah, that's the Domingas um.
Yeah. The rest thing and we don't

525
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,559
even I mean, I guess we'll
find out in fifty one minutes. Who

526
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:21,239
rest is gonna you know, what's
gonna be on the team. Is it

527
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,239
all gonna happen quick? I'm anxious. So I don't know. I think

528
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:29,199
with the new CBA and stuff,
it like can't like there can't because the

529
00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:32,599
new tampering stuff because there's I think
actual punishment. Yeah, that you can't

530
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:36,000
do the like, oh, it's
three oh one. We've already agreed to

531
00:35:36,039 --> 00:35:38,199
a deal with so and so.
So we're not gonna hear about anhing one.

532
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:42,440
Do you think we're gonna hear about
stuff for the Clipper? I don't

533
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,800
know Man or any any team.
Let's call it a half hour. They

534
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,960
probably gave up like a half hour
window or something. Yeah, Um,

535
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,440
would be my guess. Also,
if anything happens, we started this recording

536
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,559
at one thirty and we're gonna put
it out probably right when free agency starts.

537
00:35:55,559 --> 00:35:59,679
If anything happens, I'll just do
a quick pod about how we got

538
00:35:59,679 --> 00:36:04,679
rest Westbrook back. Um, yeah, call me back. Yeah. Now,

539
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,199
skit Ball wants to know what your
ideal nine to ten man rotation is

540
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:12,039
this season if we you know,
if we have a realistic off season.

541
00:36:12,519 --> 00:36:19,000
So let's call it no more Morris
Morris is gone, sorry, no more

542
00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:22,599
Morris. Russ is gone, and
EJ's gone and we have James Harden.

543
00:36:23,119 --> 00:36:27,960
Okay, we know the starting five, right, Russ is gone in this

544
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,920
Russ is gone in this scenario.
Actually, let's let's keep Russ that feels

545
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,840
realistic, That feels realistic. I
think that. I think that's the biggest

546
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:39,440
flat like you if I'm if if
I'm being naivel or optimistic, if if

547
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:46,800
I the the Clippers, you know, lore in my bones makes me go,

548
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:53,199
it makes me go like Russ is
the only thing that happens, I

549
00:36:53,199 --> 00:36:57,159
wouldn't be surprised, Like, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we just

550
00:36:57,199 --> 00:37:00,119
get Russ back and then like wave
more morrists or like I don't know,

551
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,039
like so the ideal, I mean, we know you're starting five, right,

552
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,360
my start my ideal starting five?
Yeah, yes, those four guys

553
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:16,239
I just named and Zubos and Zubos
okay, and then Terrence Terrence off the

554
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:28,199
bench, Terrence uh Nico Nico still
still there plumbly it's a nice area.

555
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,599
Well Amre is not gonna ever play, but yeah, that's a nice tan

556
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,079
I can and see. I think
amer ship play. So that's what's frustrating.

557
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,760
So a mere Terrence are in this
category of guys where it's like we

558
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,880
don't want to trade them, but
if they're not going to be used anywhere

559
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,320
in their full potential, I think
Terrence obviously is a lot better than a

560
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:50,079
mirror. Amere to do a whole
bunch to get you super hyped up last

561
00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:53,159
year. Ye, it's like it's
like the Roco thing. If we're not

562
00:37:53,159 --> 00:37:57,920
gonna use Rocco, trade Roco.
That's why we signed his contract and wanted

563
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,559
to control where he could go.
And now we can all that and if

564
00:38:00,599 --> 00:38:05,519
we're not gonna play him, like, let's just trade him for someone who's

565
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:13,239
gonna play. I guess yeah.
Also, I mean Kobe Brown. I

566
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,039
can't wait for you and Adam to
talk about Kobe Brown. Kobe Brown.

567
00:38:15,079 --> 00:38:17,039
I mean, he's he's at thirty. We got him in the first round,

568
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:21,159
so he's got he's guaranteed, right, Yeah, that's true. He's

569
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:23,039
there, he's gonna play. He's
gonna be a two way guy. I'm

570
00:38:23,039 --> 00:38:27,719
assuming, Well, it's a full
contract, that's he's gonna so he's gonna

571
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,159
be on the on the bench.
I think he's on the bench. Yeah,

572
00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:37,079
and then we'll still have Moosa x
Moon and then I think Preston and

573
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:43,320
Brandon Boston's deals guarantee and like the
next week, damn, So he might

574
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,000
have to get rid of those guys. Yeah, I know how much it

575
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,159
would hurt you to get rid of
Jason Preston. I mean, you know,

576
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,920
you know what it is, bro
Like, I feel like when Steve

577
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:59,199
Bamber said he's only gonna retool,
he's not gonna rebuild. I don't know

578
00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:02,280
if that was a full lot.
I think I think we're seeing it kind

579
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:07,000
of. Yeah, Like I think
we're always gonna be this team that keeps

580
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:14,039
these like that guy's coming in,
yeah, exactly. We may get we

581
00:39:14,079 --> 00:39:17,800
may get one cool guy every now
and then in his twilight Yeah, who's

582
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,480
like oh shit, yeah back.
Yeah. For a year, I was

583
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,119
just looking at the other day.
Did you realize that in twenty fourteen on

584
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:30,400
the Donald Sterling Team, the Donal
Sterling Breakdown Team, that we had Danny

585
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:35,599
Granger. Damn man. He was
a killer and not for us, no,

586
00:39:35,679 --> 00:39:37,360
obviously not for us. He was
like, dude, he was so

587
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:44,199
good. He was he was he
was on that roster weird. Uh,

588
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:47,400
But like, man, yeah,
I think we're always just gonna be like,

589
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,039
you know, name whoever. You
know, we're gonna get Zach Levine

590
00:39:51,079 --> 00:39:53,039
in three years, you know what
I'm saying, Like, you know somebody

591
00:39:53,079 --> 00:39:58,400
like that. Like We're always gonna
be that kind of team. We're never

592
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,000
gonna have like a complete rebuild,
so it feels good to have guys that

593
00:40:01,639 --> 00:40:05,719
we draft that we keep, you
know, Yeah, I don't want to

594
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,920
tears man I one loose Brandon Boston, although Brandon Boston feels like to me,

595
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:14,880
he's not he's not moving fast enough. He's in between. It feels

596
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,320
like um and like he goes and
he crushes in the G League, right

597
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,000
yeah, And it's great in him
and Muss and Preston, Like how these

598
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,800
insane winning streaks, it's just not
translating at the NBA level. M One

599
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,320
thing, We're kind of talking about
the future of the team a little bit.

600
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,360
Where are you at on extending Kawai
and PG? Because there's these reports

601
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,360
that the front of Zach Low was
saying the front office is going to play

602
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,639
hardball with their contract extensions. And
one of the when we were apparently going

603
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,800
to trade PG for Scoot and Simons
and all this stuff, one of the

604
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:51,360
issues was his upcoming extension because after
this year they can opt out and then

605
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:57,000
I'm assuming they're expecting the full maxes
PG will be thirty four, qualbe thirty

606
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,039
two. How are you feeling about
giving thirty four year old PG four for

607
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:06,880
two hundred and twenty million dollars contract. No, that's a lot of money.

608
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:09,559
No for thirty four year old PG. What about thirty two year old

609
00:41:09,639 --> 00:41:15,039
Kuai? No? No, man, if they we got to see what

610
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:16,800
they do this year, said,
that's what I was a little bit confused,

611
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,599
and I was texting you guys about
it. So they're they're eligible.

612
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:23,239
I think Kawhi is eligible today and
PG is eligible like next week or something

613
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:29,079
like that. No, so they
gotta play. They gotta play this next

614
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:34,039
year and then middle then they can
opt out. They can opt out next

615
00:41:34,119 --> 00:41:37,119
year. But but they're eligible for
extensions right now. We could extend them,

616
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:39,159
right, I believe. So yeah, yeah, yeah, but they're

617
00:41:39,159 --> 00:41:43,039
not gonna ask for it right now. No, there's no reason too,

618
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:45,400
because they can still play out this
year, that's guaranteed. I think they

619
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,679
both have to know that. And
I think they both have to know,

620
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,079
like, we're not just gonna give
this to you. Maybe one of the

621
00:41:54,119 --> 00:41:58,760
team has given them every single other
thing they want, so I can see

622
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,719
them maybe thinking the two anymore give
this to them. They can they can

623
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:07,599
think that, but when yeah,
yeah, like and it'll it'll suck.

624
00:42:07,639 --> 00:42:10,639
Shit if if you know, man, I've heard suck shit and a long

625
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,159
day. That's how the Clippers off
seasons going. As we're using phrases like

626
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,440
that would suck shit. Yeah,
it's gonna suck shit if they played badly

627
00:42:19,519 --> 00:42:23,119
this season and we and they get
to walk you know, next year,

628
00:42:23,559 --> 00:42:27,679
because then we get nothing, then
it's just like all right, yeah,

629
00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:31,000
but that sucked. I think and
I think PG is Was it you that

630
00:42:31,039 --> 00:42:36,199
said this that he's the flight risk? Yeah, and other people have said

631
00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:37,320
this too, like he still got
a lot of basketball left to play in

632
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:42,679
him. Kahi feel like walk to? Does PG want to? I think

633
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,840
that we need him to. I
think PG wants to more than Kawhi does.

634
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:50,280
I can see that. I think
Kawhi' is like man, we also

635
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,760
don't know anything about Kawie. We
don't know nothing about him. We know

636
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,079
he was on a boat for his
birthday yesterday. He looked pretty excited.

637
00:42:55,159 --> 00:43:00,239
He looked happy, he was screamed
laughing. They're just season an a.

638
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,960
I feel drawn him for the smiling
picks. Yeah yeah, his teeth were

639
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:12,320
perfect doing like yeah, yeah,
so you wouldn't. So then do you

640
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,559
try and move him or do you
just give him a two year extension and

641
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:20,840
hopefully he's what we got. Hopefully
he takes a one and one. I

642
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,800
mean, that would kind of screw
his cap wise. But because that's the

643
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,719
issue with the one and one.
That's why I've always complained about Lebron taking

644
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,559
it, is that it's like,
well, your team, you know,

645
00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:32,039
you can't build because you're basically giving
them a one year contract and then they're

646
00:43:32,039 --> 00:43:37,400
gonna opt out and then like sign
a weird extension thing again. Yeah,

647
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,480
but yeah, I mean I'd rather
I think, yeah, I'd rather keep

648
00:43:39,519 --> 00:43:44,840
Kauietan PG. I don't want to
have Look, I tweeted this out,

649
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:50,239
but if I'm having a really bad
day, I'll have visions of going to

650
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,119
sporttrack dot com and being like,
damn okay, Pg's thirty seven, what

651
00:43:53,159 --> 00:43:58,480
are we paying him next year when
he's thirty eight and fifty eight million dollars.

652
00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:00,639
It's also funny if you say that, because I gotta call you.

653
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,320
I gotta take you to task for
a second. What's up? Was you

654
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:07,239
most certainly were like, I'd rather
have PG than Kawai. When we were

655
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,079
buying Jersey, said Dick sporton Goods, and I was looking at Kawhi jersey.

656
00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:13,800
You like, don't get a Kawhi
Jersey jersey. That's how I felt

657
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,679
that day because PG was repping PG
reps. You see PG rep. Yeah.

658
00:44:17,039 --> 00:44:20,519
Now, I will say I have
completely flips and I would I would

659
00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:22,079
not be mad if we traded PG
for Scoot Henderson. That would have been

660
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:24,960
pretty fun. That would have been
crazy. I don't want to see PG

661
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:29,280
in the West. Let him go, Let him go back to Indiana and

662
00:44:30,039 --> 00:44:32,559
do a thing. That's this thing. Trading Paul George into the West would,

663
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:38,960
knowing the Clippers history of everything,
would somehow ignite a new like alpha

664
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,000
mentality in Paul George and he'd be
like, I can do all this stuff

665
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:50,840
time to average thirty thirty four,
eight and nine only against the Clippers.

666
00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:52,840
Yeah, so yeah, that might
be a nightmare. All right, So

667
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,079
you're out on the extensions. I
think I'm out on the extensions too.

668
00:44:55,119 --> 00:44:58,920
Did you end up? Wait?
Did you get the Rusters yet? Did

669
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,320
it get in the mail? Yea, yeah, this is here, okay,

670
00:45:00,559 --> 00:45:05,360
And I got my u ganis Haslem
heat jersey? Really? Yeah?

671
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,719
That's sick. Which version of the
jersey? The oh the nineteen eighty eight

672
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:15,280
like old school White and Rant League. He's been playing for thirty five years.

673
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,559
It's close, bro Um, all
right, we got one more ad

674
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:21,400
break and then a couple more fantastic
questions. He was a little more fun.

675
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:22,440
Uh, if the ads has been
loud for you, go ahead and

676
00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:27,239
turn it down ads, and then
some fun stuff going up in three two

677
00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:31,440
one. All right, David Hellman
asked he had some funny stuff on her

678
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:36,360
almost last episode. We were on
YouTube and he was putting some good stuff

679
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,760
in the chat. Yeah. Should
Steve Bamber be financially responsible for Clippers fans

680
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,920
therapy? Should it be bumbled with
bundled with Clipper vision? Carl? He

681
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,119
also tagged Steve Bamber in this which
is very funny. Um, Carl,

682
00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:51,679
where are you at on that?
Yes? Absolutely, because I absolutely talked

683
00:45:51,679 --> 00:45:54,440
to my to my therapist about the
Clippers. Yeah, and Gus Okay,

684
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,280
a Laker fan. He said,
he said, you thought, yeah,

685
00:46:00,519 --> 00:46:04,760
you shirt off and you have to
be objective. You have to be objective.

686
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,679
Piece of shit. He's wearing a
big foam finger during your's you know

687
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:15,440
he's got the he got that guy, he's got Lakers. He's just showing

688
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,920
those signs. He hires that Dennis
to come in with the chain and go

689
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,800
like yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, that's the that's the Aufred coffee

690
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:27,199
guy. Yeah. Um, so
I agree with this. I also I

691
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:28,920
was talking Will I was talking.
I was like, oh yeah, like

692
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:30,800
I was talking without therapists. Like, so I was mentioned like sports or

693
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,079
something. He was like, you
talk to your therapists about sports a lot.

694
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:36,639
I was like, first of all, not a lot. Second of

695
00:46:36,679 --> 00:46:42,199
all, I care a lot about
sports. Ship sucks. Uh did you

696
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,679
buy Clipper Vision, by the way, Yeah, yeah, I got it.

697
00:46:45,679 --> 00:46:46,960
It was pretty solid. I was. I watched it. I liked

698
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,960
I liked seeing uh when when Paul
Pierce would come on the air drunk man.

699
00:46:52,159 --> 00:46:54,360
I hope they got to bring him
back because he seems to be in

700
00:46:54,440 --> 00:47:00,360
full Who cares they all had bad
internet connections, but like there was a

701
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,440
couple of fun episodes like yeah,
I didn't I didn't mind it at all,

702
00:47:02,639 --> 00:47:05,679
And it makes it easy to watch
games. You got your computer or

703
00:47:05,679 --> 00:47:09,960
something. Yeah, but now that
Bally sports Is doesn't exist anymore, or

704
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:14,880
like whatever's going on with that,
I want to forget. Yeah. Um,

705
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,679
Chenny John asks the Clipper locker room
and into it is rumored to be

706
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,239
the largest in the league. What
do you think is a surprise feature in

Was a billionaire paced for the whole
thing is that ship gets built.

00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:37,280

00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:17,280
I remember kids. Did you have
kids who would keep the click wheel sounds

740
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:21,719
on so they could just flex and
class? Oh yeah, I was like,

741
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,840
turn that shit off. Yeah,
I remember the kid that I remember

742
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:27,480
the first kid who had one of
those. He was a piano player and

743
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:30,800
he had an iPod and we'd all
be looking at it. It was so

744
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,199
big. Actually, I forget.
It won't be at not an end to

745
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,559
it, don't It'll be zooms at
the end of it. Though. Man,

746
00:49:36,599 --> 00:49:38,639
you knew how to zoom. We'll
Upji and I think Adam Ozsland also

747
00:49:38,679 --> 00:49:42,719
back in the day, went the
zoom round. My mom bought me the

748
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:47,280
fucking most Walmart ass MP three player, Like, I don't want it.

749
00:49:47,679 --> 00:49:52,199
I don't remember. It was Samsung. I don't know it was. It

750
00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:58,320
hold songs, yeah, exactly,
like it was not it never quite worked.

751
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,360
Sure. Yeah, everything was in
Spanish for some reason. Yeah,

752
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:06,119
we got a helicopter. There's a
fire at Warner Brothers right now. Oh

753
00:50:06,159 --> 00:50:09,079
no, was it planned? I
don't know. Somebody say, Carol Lombardini,

754
00:50:09,639 --> 00:50:15,239
Uh, oh man, Well,
Carl. That about wraps up the

755
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,480
questions. Is there anything you want
to get off your chest about the Clippers.

756
00:50:19,639 --> 00:50:22,320
Is the Curse having a good offseason. We haven't heard from him in

757
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,199
a while. This is your soap
box, sir. Listen, I'm gonna

758
00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:30,519
say this. The Curse is not
here today. That's good. I did

759
00:50:30,519 --> 00:50:32,760
not want to see him. That's
not today. We'll see where he is

760
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:40,360
when is free agency over? I
have no idea. Let me look um

761
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:52,719
free agency and NBA um oh chick. July one through six is the moratorium?

762
00:50:54,079 --> 00:50:58,480
Um, I have no idea.
Well, he'll be back when it's

763
00:50:58,519 --> 00:51:00,960
over. Sure in case, in
case, the only move in case.

764
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:08,360
The only movie we make today is
Russ. Oh okay, so if we

765
00:51:08,679 --> 00:51:12,079
if Russ comes back, we're gonna
have to have the Curse back on road.

766
00:51:12,199 --> 00:51:22,519
Yes, I can see him descending
down like sting. Yeah, but

767
00:51:22,639 --> 00:51:25,960
anything you want to tell the fans, keep your head up even when the

768
00:51:27,039 --> 00:51:30,320
road is hard. Never gave up. Don't give up. Keep your head

769
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,480
up, man. We are in
it to win it. This is gonna

770
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,000
be the season the boys stay healthy. I'm getting fifty five games from Kawhi

771
00:51:38,079 --> 00:51:44,559
and PG fifty five and the good
ones are gonna be in the playoffs and

772
00:51:44,599 --> 00:51:46,400
we're gonna get James hardened today and
we're not gonna have to give up too

773
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:52,199
much for him. Okay, we're
gonna trade Zoo for uh naz Reid,

774
00:51:52,559 --> 00:51:54,880
Jason Preston's brother. We're gonna run
Jason Preston at the one and his brother

775
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,840
wherever he wants to play. Does
he play too? Probably he's probably better

776
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,519
than than Jason. He's probably better
than Jason Preston, but he just never

777
00:52:02,559 --> 00:52:06,000
played, you know, like he'd
be like, hey, Jason, you're

778
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,039
pretty good in high school and your
brother still beats you in the you know,

779
00:52:08,079 --> 00:52:10,960
at the basketball hoop over the garage, and he's like, yeah,

780
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,159
when I'm in the NBA and they're
like, well your brother could have been.

781
00:52:17,519 --> 00:52:20,960
You hate that they you hate that
kid. He hasn't done anything but

782
00:52:21,079 --> 00:52:24,800
just live exactly anything. He lived
a dream that we all want to live.

783
00:52:25,079 --> 00:52:30,159
I hate it because every national writer
for the Clippers rights things like he's

784
00:52:30,199 --> 00:52:31,920
due for a bigger role, and
I'm like, you don't watch the team.

785
00:52:32,559 --> 00:52:35,480
You don't. It's like when Capital
Carr was like, do you on

786
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:37,280
your little two route, young big
man entering the rotation? I'm like,

787
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:42,639
shut the fuck up. Yeah,
what a bad experiment. That was he's

788
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,039
in the league, is the least. Let me look, you know they

789
00:52:45,039 --> 00:52:49,000
didn't know how tall he was,
right, Yeah, yeah, I knew

790
00:52:49,039 --> 00:52:52,440
that. It wasn't on like six
seven. He's six eight. He's listed

791
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,679
at six eight. Um, he
might be out of the league. Man.

792
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,559
Yeah, he didn't. He didn't
play well. Damn he He played

793
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:06,400
for the Raptors in twenty one twenty
two. Played three games, average nine

794
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,320
minutes. Hey, average three and
two. You extrapolate that per thirty six,

795
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:15,119
it's almost almost double double. Uh
well, Carl, thank you so

796

much for joining us, Thank you
for having me. It's always good to

802
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,559

don't pay Stephen A. Smith and

804
