You need a little bit of that. Okay, that's what you need.
I got enough. Okay. You know each other, y'all barely.
We know each other in the lineup with very million y'all was in the lineup,
and he wouldn't be able to point you here of millions with each other.
You know, only one of us is named behind the prophet, only
one of them. He was one of the worst ones ever too, But
he was part of the flock barely. How you outside the clubs? You

Well there you go a great Key's how you doing, brother, living
man? Good, good, living alive? Look less to be here?
All right now that's what's important. Dre injury report. What did you say?
You know what I'm saying. I didn't say anything injury report. Sure,
Isaiah Moore is out with a bad attitude, but he's calling in with
a bad attitude or whatever you want to call it. Uh. The n
B a man right now, it is injury central. So if you're gonna
make some get some ws for your team getting now, Uh, Boston is
without Prizinga's surprise surprise nobody. Uh Chicago Bulls Zach Levine. That probably takes
his trade value down. Uh. The Dallas Mavericks. Kyrie is out.
He is listen to this day to day Hardaway Junior. He is day to
day with a back injury. The Nuggets Jamal Murray ankle injury. You know,
having him out really shows his value to that Denver Nuggets team. They
are not the same without him. He SI, I think said that you're
your patent line. See I told ja A, I did not tell you.
I did tell you that I never get credit of anything. I say
that, Yeah, you do, because you remind us. You remind us
every week. The Golden State Warriors are without Wiggins. He is listed as
day to day with a finger injury. Chris Paul a lower leg injury day
to day. Gary Payton a second right calf strain. He is out.
The Pacers are without their superstar in the making, Haliburton is out with a
knee injury day to day. Miami is without Bam out of Bio with a
hip he is out. And Anthony Edwards for the first place Minnesota Timberwolves.
He is out with a hip injury, listed as day today. Well,
thank you very much, Dre for the injury report. We're gonna move on
to our next segment. Was just shooting around where we talk about what's going
on. You don't want to make the button, So until you make a
button, I'm gonna do that every week, shoot around injury report, So
do it shoot around anyways anyway, Move on to our shoot around second where
we talk about news and hot topics going around the NBA. The end season
tournament knockout rounds beginning on Monday and then continue on on Tuesday. He got
the three group winners and plus the wild card. Let's get some predictions here
that let's see here. I'm sorry, okay. So on Monday, we
got the Indiana Pacers playing uh, the Boston Celtics, and then we also
have the Sacramento Kings playing New Orleans Pelicans. Who you guys got uh?
Not the Pacers. So Boston, especially without Halliburton. If Halliburton's not playing
tomorrow, Uh, Indiana doesn't have a chance. And who's the other one?
Sacramento, Sacramento, New Orleans. Sacramento is fully healthy, they're full
of force. Fox is back playing like he's never left. That'll be an
easy win for them. New Orleans also fully healthy. They're playing some good
ball too. You just curt Zion. He's gonna jump tomorrow and them he's
gonna pop where to go? Where to go? For cursing them? No,
I'm how proud. I'm happy for him, man, But that should
be an easy dub for a sack. Easy dub You know, it's bad
that he'd been injured a lot, because they haven't even really even talked about
him this season. They haven't. He's actually doing okay, doing pretty good
this year. You're right, he hasn't been injured and because said in New
Orleans is fully healthy. So that's what I'm like. I don't know if
that'll be as easy as a win for Sacramento. I do agree with you
that Boston probably is gonna beat the uh the Pacers. But Porzingis won't be
playing for the for Boston though, but he's not a big threat. He's
not a major piece of their lineup. I think he is just because they
don't have much on the bench now. They did they did beat Philly without
Jason Tatum and Porzingis. It was just Jaylen Brown. I don't think he
was like, you know what, it was just Jaylen Brown. So I
don't I don't know. I think it depends on the roster. I think
that Porzinga is not gonna be there. That's gonna affect the roster, and
it just depends on the game. I think Indiana is well enough round teams
they can kind of keep up with them. I think it's uh, but
think and it's gonna be at home too, So if this is at Boston
may be a little different. But I think this is gonna be in Indiana.
So when do the games in Vegas start? This weekend? Thursday and
Friday, Thursday, semi finals Thursday, the finals is Saturday. Yeah,
so Thursday and then Saturday. So Monday is the quarterfinals, t Thursday is
the semi finals, and the championship is in Vegas on Saturday. Semi finals
is in Vegas too, yeah, oh okay, and then Tuesday. So
who you got, keysy you got? Why wouldn't they just make all of
the games there? Well, I mean it's still early in the week.
I mean, you know, NBA is a cash grab. They're not gonna
miss the money for their regular team. They're just gonna make a bunch of
it this weekend. And you can't have all them teams, all them teams
in Vegas at the same time. Vegas NBA Summer League has all twenty seven
playing. But it's not all. It's the difference between having and I think
it's the difference between having all those like superstars and then having a bunch of
nobodies. No, no, no, because here's the thing. Remember the
eight teams. It's only Yeah, do you hear what I'm saying, don't
have a bunch of superstars compared to a bunch of nobody's. So you're talking
about up and comers, first superstars and down in Vegas all visiting compared to
playing the visit a visit. So summer, So Summer League and tournament's a
little different. Summer League has games. It's almost like a almost like an
intramurors thing. Right, So you know, Summer League plays that U n
l B and there's multiple games going on in multiple gyms, right whereas in
season is playing. Aren't they playing the T Mobile Arena or I don't know,
you're playing at the T Mobile Arena or one of those arenas. That's
the basketball stadium that they're building for Lebron James when he retires, So that's
where they'll be playing. So to be, don't look at it like that.
Lebron is already the player. He wants to own a team. Ryan
said he wants some team in Vegas. He hasn't like put the money up.
Yeah, he said he wants a team, want team in Vegas.
Him in shack so he'll play at his future office in Las Vegas, Nevada,
to win his first in season championship on Saturday. Is that what you
think? I think Phoenix gonna beat them. No, I think it's gonna
be the Lakers and the Bucks in the end season title. No Soil playing,
there's no Bradley Bill playing. And you know, Lebron does good at
stuff like this. He shines at this. So for him to go out
in his career winning the first ever in season Cup, it'll be him or
it's holding that cup guarantee. No guarantee. So Milau, the Knicks crazy?
What you smoking? Boston? Luis Indiana smoking harder now? So you're
just going for the underdogs. The Pelicans beat the Kings smoking again, and
the Suns beat the Lakers. That's probably the most realistic thing you said.
That's what's gonna happen. So you got the Suns winning it all. I
got the Pacers winning it all. I was just talking about Monday game.
But let's filence to that. I got the I got Boston win it all.
It was a game time decision. So we felt for me too.
Yeah, that's fine, Boston. I got Boston win it do you really
Yeah, I can see it. I can see it. I can see
it. So in the finals, I really have the Bucks and the Lakers,
but it wouldn't surprise. But again, I got Boston. I got
Boston, and I got Boston in Sacramento. I got the Bucks on Sacramento.
To be honest, yeah, I got the Bucks. In the Lakers,
I just don't see the Lakers beating the Phoenix even with Bradley Beal.
They just play horrible against Phoenix, even with Bradley Bell. Bradley Belle played
twenty minutes this year, so I don't think that makes it diff Remember we
talked about this. I told you that Bill coming there and him being injured
all the time. Yeah, I mean that that three was cool. If
they Yeah, we all said the same thing. If he plays, they'll
be dangerous. But he's not gonna play. What's wrong with him right now?
The same thing was wrong with him in Washington. It was multiple things,
but the back was one of them. So so yeah, yeah,
yeah, the Knicks, how this Bill w one thirty two, So yeah,
But I'm excited for the NBA. Man. I hope to go to
the n Ceason Tournament next year. But we'll see, man, we can
go this year. That's this weekend. I can't even pull that off.
M right, I can't pull that all you don't think so I know.
I can't listen they pull that off, Bro, that's a Saturday. Hotel
prices are ridiculously high. Flights are ridiculously high because we're buying at the last
minute. So that's hard to that's hard to manage at the last minute.
Man, But that'll be dope. He should go on. Here's hop on
that private jet M ninety four feet on. Keep prophisying. I receive it,
he prophising, one day, one day. The Golden State Wards have
lost their last two out of their three games, with teams coming a huge
comebacks. There currently in the eleventh and standings below five hundred and negotiating us
for a new contract for Klay Thomson already at a standstill. There are talks
of trading Chris Paul. Is this the end of a dynasty? Well?
His team bounced back by the All Star place. Chris Paul injuries is starting
to creak back in again. He cat, oh, he owned see what
I'm saying. He started out, He started off decent once some injuries start
hitting them. It's like five games. Chris Paul like that too. But
that's the only way Chris Paul can really be effective on your team if he's
not clocking in a lot of minutes like that, like or if the team
is dependent on him. I think that second unit, he's running with a
lot of younger guys, so it's putting a lot of miles on them legs.
And he's old. He should be able to This should be easier though,
because they running like the past. But they running though, Are you
old and running? You're gonna get tired. It's the NBA. Mm hmmm.
They're running. M hmm. The whole league is running. Not everybody
he was, well, not everybody who ain't running in the NBA. I
want to say, San Antonio is running teen. They a good half courteen.
What they got all those young dudes over there Indiana, Indiana's young.
They're running, They're shooting. They're like shooting, They running, gun running,
They running and gunning. That's the league is right now, running and
gunning. Ain't no place ran. Well, then this is a bitter explanation
why Chris Paul is hurt. He old? Yeah, you know when I
look at the Golden State Warriors, it kind of reminds me of Lebron James
when he was with Cleveland. Stephen Curry cannot do it all by himself.
Father time is a real thing. We see it in Chris Paul, we
see it in Draymond, We certainly see it in Clay, and we even
see it in Steph Kurry. And so the Golden State Warriors, their best
days are behind them. But I don't believe you can count them out end
of a dynasty. I can't say it's the end of the dynasty because they'll
come back in the second half of the season and win ten straight, put
up one forty. The contract talk with Clay should stop. Why the Warriors
shouldn't invest any more money into Clay. Clay has not been the same since
his injury. Clay is an occasional prolific scorer. At some point, the
Golden State Warriors need to plan for the future. Now, it wasn't Jordan
Poole, we saw that, thankfully, and it's not Clay Thompson. Clay
Thompson. If I am a Betty Man, I would assume Clay wants some
contract within the room of one hundred, one hundred and thirty million dollars four
or five year deal. Would you say that Clay probably wants a big bag
he wants us how much? I would say Clay probably wants a four or
five year, one hundred and twenty million dollar deal. Oh, you're estimating.
I'm estimating Clay wants twenty to thirty a year Clay want If Draymon got
twenty, Clay wants at least twenty five. Well, Draymond got twenty five.
I thought Draymond got a four year eighty. He got a four year
hundred. If Draymon got twenty five, Clay's I don't want thirty. Steph
is knocking at sixty, Okay, Clay's not gonna do it for no little
back. Clay leaving I don't think disrupts the dynasty. I don't think it
disrupts it. I think it just makes Golden State have to start looking at
the future. So is the dynasty over? Probably? But can it be
rebounded by All Star break one hundred and fifty percent. Yes. As long
as you have Steph Curry, you always have a chance. I said what
I said, As long as you have Steff said what I say thank you,
appreciate the problem. As long as you have Steph, you always have
a chance. But the rumor mill is saying he's gonna get probably thirty to
thirty five. That's what he who That's what he wants, Clay. That's
what Clay wants, and that's what he just said. The question is you
know what I'm saying. He wants thirty to thirty five. I just said
that, not twenty five, Well, I said, he said. I
said, Dreamond got twenty five. He said, Dreamind got twenty five.
That mean hes gonna want thirty. The question is does he deserve it?
No? No, here's the thing I said, yeah, old, Look,
here's the thing we've already we I'm sorry. Golden State has already awarded
you or rewarded you for winning the titles. They've already given him a big
contract. He resigned several years ago to a big contract. Look up plays
contract now, it's pretty massive, Keasey looking up looking up on the Android.
It's it's pretty massive. That was fun, it was serious. It
was unnecessary, were Android it was unnecessary. It is unnecessary, Apple snobby
did I'm sorry, but he's making forty three million this he's making forty three
million a year. He had five year, one hundred. Come on,
man, come on man, they've already rewarded him. You got four titles.
Does it say how many years you want? You're on one. He
wants a three to four year deal. Anybody in his age bracket wants four
years, maybe five. That's why Chris Middleton renegotiated his contract so he can
get a fifth year. He's not getting as much money, but he's getting
longer money. Shout out to Chris Middleton. He was at church today.
No, I couldn't say nothing to him about the podcast. You already know
that, but I shot up, you wouldn't. So he wants to,
like I said, one hundred and twenty million dollar contract. No for a
washed up occasional sweat there. A big game is definitely over. There have
big games where Clay has scored four points. Look, you don't make that
kind of money and score four points, not often. Clay's doing it.
See, this is what I think about this. Here's I think about this.
There's to make Steph Curry be who he is, you have to get
guys like Draymond Gleaning and Draymond Green and Clay Thompson. You have to you
have to sign them for these contracts they want, just because he can't be
who he who he is now without those guys, because without without Clay thoms
So without Draymond Green, guess what I'm gonna do? Double double us Steph.
But you have to remember that's why the Warriors GM ran out of town
because he didn't want to deal with all this. Yeah, he would to
do with it because of the money and go to state under the new luxury
tax rules, They're not going to be able to afford this. Not what
they will do. They'll go back out and try to get k I believe
they're a KD reunion will happen in the state. All sure, if he
doesn't win a title in Phoenix, I can see KD going back and go.
Now I see k D retiring as a Phoenix Sun. Yeah, I
mean, why wouldn't you. It's either that war either that or you're going
to Okay, see trying to put he I don't think he would do that
because it was proved that he's trying to be too much like Lebron in his
story. Shout out to KD. By the way, Number ten on the
NBA all time scoring list now number ten, popping up for the man.
Such a hat for that bro. Way it go, accountability, Aunt,
continue with with yourant. So Clay Thompson is averaging this year fifteen points three
rebounds to assist on forty percent shooting. When is Clay times have ever been
twenty twenty five games? That'll take a little more research than than we have
time for it right now. You notice look up career Clay Thompson. Throughout
his career, you don't win those championships without I know, I'm just asking
you. When is he ever averaged twenty to twenty five points? It's a
gay? So between seasons fourteen through twenty three, Clay has averaged over twenty
points twenty one, twenty two, twenty two, twenty twenty one, twenty
twenty four, he's averaged that, right, okay? And you know what,
give us money? Give h his money. If you gonna give Draymond
Green a hundred meal, you gotta give him a hundred to twenty. And
I understand where Clay is coming from. If you give him one hundred,
you gotta give me one twenty because I'm more valuable than him. Is that
you this season though. I mean, here's the word on the street,
world of the street, is this, Klay Thompson is letting the contract extinction
get to him, which it should it should No, no, no,
let me scratch that. It shouldn't get to him, because that's that's business,
and you gotta make nowadays, you gotta make the NBA pay you.
It's what have you done for me? Now? Not lately, not have
what have you done for me three four years ago? When he got that
big contract a couple of years ago, he earned it. You gotta earn
and you gotta earn it all over again. Unfortunately, that's just the way
the NBA goes. He earned it. Though. My thing is this,
they ain't played in kensy words, he ain't playing in two years. He
played all last year and the year before that. No, we didn't.
The year they got to the championship is that two years? Bucks won in
twenty one, they won it in twenty two? Did they win it in
twenty two? They won it in twenty two? They sure did. He
played, He missed twenty one, played in twenty two, in and out
last year. Okay, So my thing is this, every time they win
it, Klay Thompson is a significant part of that team, so for him
to be not for him to say I need one hundred and twenty, I
think it's fair. So this is what I'm saying, Clay deserves his bag,
especially if you're playing Draymond. Paying Draymond, I don't think is taking
offer to because they breaking it back with Steph. Look, this is just
the way it goes, especially you want step to be great, especially if
you want mar John Bouchamp. You know you're eye in some talent and free
agency. I'm not gonna be able to play Clay one hundred and thirty,
Draymond one twenty staph what is that one eight? You know you're not gonna
be able to play those players all that money. But the dynasty it's possibly
over. But never count out the Golden State Warriors because they'll score forty in
ten minutes. Well, I think this year is a little different just because
I noticed that when when those Gold State Warriors getting the hole, it's hard
for them to come out of. Yeah, I think this year is gonna
be one of those years where it's hard for them to come out of the
hole, and unfortunately that's bad for Clay Thompson because they're gonna get this contract.
Be like, well, obviously we couldn't do what we did two years
ago. So you know, and I don't think like they're not in the
NBA Finals conversation, Now, I did at the beginning of the year.
I did pick them to win it. You do, well, you pick
them every year? No, well, sure you don't. That's a lot,
okay. But my thing is, like you said, at first,
they were rolling and then all of a suddenly it feels like age is catching
up. Draymond Green getting suspended. He just tackled somebody the other day.
It's time to move on and start a whole new chapter in Golden State is
done. But you know what's funny, But you know it's done. You
know what's funny about that cac That was the plan and the and the plan
was we got these new guys come in. What was the dude name,
Watt wise Man, Jordan Poole, Jordan what's the other guy that's still there?
And Jerry Payton. These were supposed to be the guys, and slowly
as time went by, they've gotten that they've had to rely on the older
guys. So I guess the other thing to consider is Chris ball is off
the books for this year? Is he you know he has a player option
of Actually, Chris Paul has a non guaranteed deal. So Chris Paul is
supposed to make thirty million dollars this year, but the stay can cut them
and not so he got a team option. No, he has a non
guarantee contract. So a team option a player option is different. Right.
The player option means I can pick up my contract. Right, So if
I'm in five year deal, I'm in year four, going in the fifth,
I can pick up my player option. We know what it means.
I'm explaining to the people that don't jack Jack, But a non guarantee means
the team can say, you know what you've been okay, five the team
And that's not what he asks. Though that's not what he asks Tea.
He did not let it go. Whatever, whatever you ask. The Warriors
don't have to pick up his thirty million dollar contract. Should they trade him
Chris Paul? Who would want them? I'm trading Chris Paul and trading I'm
trading both, and if they smart, I'd really be going at the Levigne
right now while he on the market, speaking of Levine, nobody, nobody
wants him. Would I think he has a bad attitude and a big check.
He has a bad attitude. I think a bad attitude in a big
check. How do you figure that? Well, first, locker room,
he like skinned. Second of all, plays like skinning too, so who
his attitude is pretty crappy too, So then that's an even swap. Just
younger. That's different when you are skinned, and he like skinning and more
athletic, Zach who didn't Clay now? I say he is. I've just
always been more athletic. He always has been more athletic than him. But
I I want a dead eye shooter something like that that I'll say, better
shooter. I said, more athletic, he said, He's right, I
don't care about your athletics. Is I don't care your athletic. Clay Thompson
is the dead eye shooter. So I'll take it a fit every day,
and a defender well used to be. Then are there? The knees are
shot, those are shot, and they're going right past him. Those days
are over. You can go past him right now if you wanted to.
Those days. Man, you know I can hold my own land yard stop
hold your own what hold you on't where something about on the court? All
right? Okay, exactly, put some respect on my name, your name,
Dre. We don't want to We don't want no problem. You think
you even still dribble a basketball? Yeah? Can you? It's probably been
ten years since he tested the ball fifteen But the point is autographed Magic Johnson
basketball that I just picked up yesterday. Did you dribbled? I put it
back in the trophy case? But no? Okay? Then, so when
the last time you dribbled the basketball last year? December? Man? You
know we were No. We have a gym at my stud in my place,
a gym. Played basketball with the kids on time. Stop the cat,
stop the cast. Okay, you know what, I'm playing basketball with
them on this Saturday, and I will record some video and don't do that.
I'll post. Don't do that, Drac, Exactly. I'm gonna stay
for your reputation alone. Just don't. The difference is I'm not living like
I can still be rare and tell y'allre y'all and y'all Saturday morning bets that
haven't happened yet, and don't mess up the floor. Make sure you injure
kids. Listen, folks, zach Lavine is scheduled to make forty million dollars
this year, this year, forty three, forty five, and then forty
eight. That's why nobody wants him, because zach Lavine, it's not worth
this ridiculous contract. It's the bulls game. Okay, Mactually, let's let's
take way the contract. Let's take way the contracts is wait for quick.
Where would he fit I don't see zach Levine fitting anywhere. He won't fit
in Golden State. He won't. He won't fit in Golden State, not
with Steve the way that Steve Kirk coaches, and not the way that Steph
likes the ball in his hand. That's part of the reason why Golden State
isn't working either, because the Chris Paul Steph experience isn't a good one.
Because they're both ball hungry players. I don't think they're ball hungry players.
Steph likes the ball in his hand. Steph does not have the ball in
his hand. You better watch again. Did you see what he did to
your boy from Memphis? He went to the Rockets? Uh, Dylan Brooks
crossed him three times in the same play. I didn't say Steph didn't have
a handle. I'm saying Steph doesn't have the ball in his hands all the
time. Yes he does. Okay, dray Mind brings it up and he
kicks it off screens. Would you say that again? Dray Mind brings it
up and then he gives it to staff and Steph is with the don't like
Steph ain't coming off fifty screens? Why why you hecking like Steph Edition two.
That's an addition too, zach Lavine. That should not go to the
Golden State Warriors. Absolutely not. I agree with you, Absolutely not.
I agree with you. I'm just saying stuff with contract. I'm just saying,
where is that? Where does that fit? I think that's that's the
problem, Like, no one knows where he's gonna fit. He plays the
two, but he can also play the three, and I just don't you
can play the three, can play the one. He can play the two
and the three. One is little. You can the rock he can handle
enough to get to the lane. I don't know about handle it like a
point guard. Let's not get ridiculous here. Clearly y'all haven't watched Zastball played
basketball. I'm Axing and keys. You you the where can he fit?
Where does he fit? Where does he fit? Yeah? Like the Lakers,
I don't think he fit there. He can fit on any team.
He just this contract is just too big for the teams. So you think
that's that's the biggest problem. Bro, He's gonna make forty eight million dollars
in four years. Who that's what? And then it's you gotta think it's
still three years left on that contract. I mean, I'm not saying it
was an expiring contract. A lot of teams will take that gamble just to
see how it go and then if it goes right, then they'll pay him.
But you're guarantee I'm not guaranteeing him three years at fifty million dollars a
year almost that's a gamble. No NBA team it is willing to take no
more. I mean because of injuries. I look at it. I think
it's Kevin Durant or Lebron James or Stephan Curry an all start like a superstar
like that. You can do it. You can take that risk on that
type of money. Mm hmm. But like somebody like Zach Lavine, you
don't even know how you're gonna you don't know how you're going to jail,
you'll know what. I guess, my I guess that's my thing. I
mean, after all that, the guys who are super athletic, what is
to me just just me? It might be the contract because I'm not going
to pay you forty something MILLI to be doing what you're doing. And I
put Zach Levine in the category of guys who are who we put at a
I don't want to say a superstar level really, but we put him at
a star level to what But they're not superstars. They at that they like
A it's an all star. They're like a B. They like a B
group, it's all stars. Those are all stars. Okay, okay,
answer this question. Superstars are eight group all stars are big? Group?
Stars are a C group? Then he's a C. He's a C who
Levine? Yeah, he's a D in my opinion, I can give you
fifteen better than him right now. That's ridiculous. I can get no,
because if you say a group and we're talking about NBA, you only get
five per group. What do you mean you gonna get five per he's you
say he's a C group? No, I was going up with the scale
that Kesey said, Key said, superstar. There's different different levels levels in
the NBA. You got your superstar level, you got your stars, you
got your all Star level, and you got your Stars level, and then
you have your role players. You have your everybody level player. Yeah,
role player. Ad are you saying Zach Lavine is a role player? I
can give you fifteen better right now. I can give you fifteen better right
now, easily, easily in his position? What is he? Period?
We can't do that. We can't do that. No, you have to
do that. But that's what that's what That's what it's gonna be. That's
what's coming down to. So what is he is? He he's a shooting
guard slash small forward. Okay, I'm gonna give you fifteen bet right now.
Well, I'm not saying you can't give me fifteen better. I just
feel like a role player? Is is a bit much? Okay? A
contributor? Then he's not a role player. He's not an all star.
You know what he is? He is a it's a star. He's an
andre. No, he won't be all am. He will be a contributor
to his team and he'll get us. Check. He's an all star,
he's all star, all Star. He's not a superstar. He's not a
superstar. He's an all star. No, hold on, I'm sorry,
star, I'm sorry, a star. Okay, So then what the category
is Middleton star? He's an all star, he's a star. You look
at me? How you who didn't know? Who is? Who's all star
caliber? Who's the all star caliber? Yeah? Shoot small overall Lebron,
Kevin Durant all Stars, all star superstar. Don't you that they're not not

All Star all Star Star. Jason Jason Tatum as far as fame,
superstar overall over Tatum all star, superstar, superstar. No, I'm sorry,
no all star ain't ah, this is just going he ain't nothing.
This conversation just what you're trying to find it? What do you mean,
because it's it's it's nonsense. Y'all are sitting here making a case. A
Zach Lavine is one of the top players in the NBA. I said star
by giving him an All Star rating, said star giving him a star rating.
You're saying that Zach Levine is one of the top players in the NBA.
I'm saying that Zach Levine when he's on eighteen, he's in their top
three players. Like if you have three top players on your team, he's
one of those three. Okay, so he was that Minnesota Superstars. There's
about ten to fifteen of them in the league. Yeah, I'll give Zach
Levine All Stars. There's about twenty twenty five h Man about twenty to thirty
in that bracket. Twenty to thirty All Stars Stars is about forty. So
where's Levine? For you? Where's Levine? This besa All Stars the Star.
I'm gonna give Levin a star with a slight All Star. But again,
I'll take Donavan Mitchell over him, I'll take Edwards over him, I'll
take Fox over him. Old stop Mitchell, all star, all Star.
I'll take Jevin Booker over him all the time I t about star. I'll
take Jalen Brown over him Mitchell. I'll take Jalen Brown over him. Star.
I'm sorry, he ain't nothing. So he he's a star with all
with with all star potential, spiders an all star, but as a star,
he's all star, He's the star. What is he? Diake Keysey?
What is he done? So? What is done? For America?
To be clear? For andre Xavier Douglas, Zach Lavine? Okay, so
then as for this man, Ohad Joker, superper, hold on, let
me finish. Would he still be a superstar? He didn't win last year?
Yes he would, Yes he would, Yes he would, Yes he
was a superstar, Yes he would. No Bro, he averaged a triple
double every year and he should have won last year. Where's Russell? Where's
Russell? Russell? Who? Westbrook? What the bottom? Where is he
at twelve years later? Where is he at? This list? All timer?
Currently? All time all the time? That's what is an all star?
Superstar, superstar, all time spar seventy five players, superstar okay,
superstar? Hold on second, you said superstar Westbrook will go down in history
as one of the star Stars all Star. He was a guard that averaged
a triple double. That's never been a star. Superstar is Superstar? Keep
superstar? You are that guy. You're that guy. He was that guy,
Superstar. You're that guy he was and you know what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about that guy. Okay, Chance, Charles Barkley, that
guy until he came against some giants. But was he a superstar, Superstar
all Star? He ain't, didn't. I'm sorry, Chuck, all Star
all Star. Sorry. Sorry. There's not a lot of guys in this
category where you go there, Okay, to all of our fans, a
lot of guys, I gotta show you these messages. We do apologize for
Isaiah's foolishness last week calling these people bums. Oh man, my fans were
all over you. I gotta did you say my fans? You just said
my fans. I'm just no, no, no, everybody here this now,
y'all. Y'all be hopping on Dre calling his phone. You just caught
y'all. Okay, y'all go ahead, keep on. So anyway, I'm
a fan of people podcast. People say to you, no one's ever said
to you people, I'm a fan. You just say our fans. You
said my fans. Well stop it anyway, I said over they were all
over you bomb bombs. So here we go again with this stuff, talk
about talk about and talking superstar who indeed he's a superstar. No, he
ain't done nothing. That's that's argument. I ain't done nothing. I'm basing
what he's I'm tired of people throwing around these labels like they like they did
something. Superstars are players that not just changed the game, not super hold
on, real quick. Superstars are guys who are not only generational talents.
I've said this before. They are champions, not all of them. Kyrie
Irving a star. He's a champion. He's a champion, but he's also
little nuts up. So because of his and thoughts, he's not a superstar.
He's crazy. Hold on, that's crazy. You know why? You
know why? You know what happened in Boston. We happen in Boston.
Were happened in Boston, kese Kesey, We're hap it in Boston. He
had an opportunity to take us up the ranks, to go off the ranks,
and he didn't make it. I'm sorry. You know who's barely there.
You know who's barely there, k D, KDS barely there, but
he's there, barely a superstar, he's a superstar head. If he didn't
go, if he didn't go to Golden State, where would he be at?
He would be a champion, But where would he be at? All
Star? Thank you, don't don't sit here act like he barely didn't get
there. KD is a generational time. You want to be in the same
category as Lebron and Steph? So what about so? So Tatum then is
an all star, all star? That said all star, he superstar.
That's why every time his that's why every time his name comes up, it's
like, Tatum is gonna be one of these guys in the future who's gonna
be a superstar for right now. And you know what in today's NBA,
In today's NBA, he's a superstar. But if we really want to break
this thing down, because you're talking about in the same category as Steph and
Lebron and KD. These guys are champions. These guys have done some stuff
that you won't see every day. Jason Tatum is a score, He's a
he's a he's a leader of his team. But as sometimes we like,
who's really the leader of the Boston Celtics. The guy that just got almost
two hundred and eighty million two And at the end of the day, Brown
All Star, Superstar, All Star, All Star, he got superstar money.
He did, and I was stupid. That's the NBA, that's the
NBA. You gotta pay people. I wish I knew how to play ball
for real. Well, first of all, how do you not tell I
just wish you're never at g L because the way you're gonna be looking at
these guys in these contracts is ridiculous. No, I'm a budget manager right
now and I never overspend and I take good care of him. Really,
I really wouldn't get it. Well, I don't know what to tell you,
but it's Christmas man dre class always. If you're on top of that,
Let's say y'all didn't win it. Let's say Yais didn't win it.
Where he be at, he'll be a superstar because of our market John was
a superstar before he won stop it. No, he was. See,
you have to think about it. Superstars are marketable. They bringing money,
They bringing cash, if that changed your city, if that's that means,
that means today Wingspan is a superstar, right, Anthony David? Superstar,
all star ring, all star. So I wouldn't. I can't call him
a superstar because yeah, because because of injuries, not so much. I
just I expect I expect a shock kind of impact from big Man and he's
not giving it. So he's an all star, is a superstar, superstar,
don't ring. He can't even get past the second round to confer his
numbers. He's at his numbers, and he got numbers about his numbers.
What about every one m v P one has a D ever won an m
v P. No, he won't even good. They got a championship,
and that in the bubble. In the bubble, it doesn't matter, it
matters, it doesn't matter, it don't matter. I'm I mean, it
don't matter. I'm over that. He and he's not all He's not a
superstar, he's all stars. Would you take a D or m B A
D? You're lying like a D better than I just don't really like him.
Bid why I'm gonna tell you know what, I'll get this without the
injuries, fully healthy. Yes, I would take Anthony Davis over and bid
now. But that's that's fantasy reality. And b does a little bit on
the court, but he really is in the game changer to me, and
he can be a game changer anytime he decides to be an animal. He's
my thing. Though when you the time, we've seen that animal come out.
This question. Let me ask this question. James Harden all star,
superstar, all star. Up until he has done nothing. Up until recently
he was a superstar. He's done nothing. So I have the people y'all
named, and Lucas are a superstar. Man. Let's let's pump the break.
Lucas a superstar. If James Harden is a super Hey, you know,
you know what's funny. You know what's funny. Your definition Lucas a
superstar? He is? He is. I need to hear you say it.
I said it. I said earlier that Luca is a superstar. Market
is a superstars. Let's end it like this. Let's end it like this.
The definition of superstars in the eye of the beholder. My definition is
not just gameplay, but it is economic impact. And every person that I
call this always economics, always economic for the city. The tickets are raised
up. We're not worried about economics. Ask the Milwaukee Bucks. If they're
not worried about economic impact, Ask the Bucks, ask Cleveland. I'm not
talking about them, I'm talking about me. Are you worried about that?
We're worried about it. Oh, we're worried about it because if our team
does well, then our city does well, that means lower I not get
that, but I'm talking about one. We're judging our players. Economic impact
shouldn't have nothing to do on what the time. Yeah, yeah it does
because there's a whole lot of empty arenas well. Y'all going to the Bucks
before Brandon Jennings yea, lies, lies. I was b come and see
the ticket holder to Brandon Jennings came on board. I came on first of
all, after I just said that, I just said you did when he
came on board. We've been going, We've been one of the buck were
kids. Not consistently we have we haven't you once or twice a year a
year you have dropped your season tickets when they sucked to don't act like you
can struggle. Always went I always went on the guy right now, God
call your guy right now, right now, The only time I ever rock
season tickets was when Governor Walker cutt four hundred million from the UW. That's
not true. I've been a SEE ticket holder consistently for ten plus years.
Kis plus years? Call, I know, I know it's the cat.
I know it's a cat captain. That means, that means twenty thirteen.
And I've been a SEE ticket holder every year since me and him shared like
eight years ago with Sheldon and Melvin. You just said, you just said
I stopped withing Governor Walker two years. So that's not consistently. Then it
is consistent. It is consistent. So I took the two year fine,
fine, take him fine, fine. So but that wasn't That wasn't because
they were bad, because they were still falling, because that's what God is
a new arena. So why didn't quit because they were bad? I quick
because of a protest of an economic strategy. If you don't take in economics
into superstardom, then what are you doing? We signed y oncause what we
signed because it was only a fan. So you're only a fan if you
just got seated tickets. I say that, Let me ask your question.
Basically, that's what let me ask you a question really quickly. Said that,
I didn't say that. I know a lot of fans that don't half
season tickets for a lot of different reasons. Okay, so that's not a
judgment. Let me ask you a question real quickly. True fans, you
said before Bennet Jennings you wasn't buy a season ticket. That means he wasn't
a fan because he wasn't going a game. That mean I want to,
That mean I wanted to. Absolutely was that I was always I just didn't
have reality. I just know this. This is what I know. You
weren't buying tickets for ten years consistently, whatever the reason. Okay, skip,
that's fine. My thing is this thing. That's fine. It's not
judging you all. I'm not just here. We're just trying to say we've
been going a game. We all been going to game since were kids.
What I'm saying is until we got how you take economics, until we got
good, y'all were not really consistently coming to games. And yes or no,
until I had a career, I wasn't consistently going. Come on,
bro, I'm not until you until we were financially stable, That's when we
became seen to take. That's a lot, that's a lie. We were
going to games. I was going to games regular before I had a career.
You were not. I was listened the year that I was not.
How you you was you? Mother? My thing is they were twelve and
twelve and seventy, Yeah, twelve and seventy. We couldn't give tickets away
and I and I had tickets that year. And guess what could we would
go and what year we would go? Remember that was I remember? I
think it was a year before we drafted Jafari park The year before we drafted
Jabari Parker. We would go at least a couple of games a year every
year. Maybe now we'll reseason ticket holders because we would go to the game.
We want to see the ticket hold because what was and why wasn't we
see the take? Because they sucked the game? As witnesses Jason witness,
my b speaks for itself. Witnesses, there go you type in Bucks in
my search column and see what I paid to the Bucks over the years.
So again, I don't know how this comes back to about economics and how
it matters and superstardom. Listen, listen, listen, I'm about to tell
you how go ahead. In twenty nineteen, I took a group of students
to the Chicago Bulls games. The Bulls sucked. We had two hundred level
set for like twenty five and thirty bucks. Fast forward to when they had
I think they had Jimmy for a minut in it and they had an okay
season. Last year the upper level they were trying to tax us one hundred
and twenty one hundred and forty bucks a ticket. So when your team is
winning and you draw in a superstar, it drives economics. Dame Lillard,
remember how much the bucks tickets were before we traded him. Now they're almost
twice as much money because we have Dame and we already had a superstar.
So if y'all don't think superstars drives economic impact, y'all are Crazymember one are
crazy. Yes, the same superstar absolutely absolutely, I'm aware. But I
don't understand how the players that ain't done nothing get a superstar label. Did
he get it from me? He's an All Star, he's a he makes
All Star team. Well almost every year, y'all have said it himselves.
He's gonna probably win clutch Player of the Year this year. Probably Luca's been
an All Stars since he's been in the league. And Luca's a superstar,
all right, He's an All Star. He's an All Star, and you
said he was an All Star. He said superstar because he's taking it economic.
My thing is from Dallas, LaMelo Ball, we're talking about we're talking
about economic impact. You really want to go economic. Every pair of shoes
he put on the market sales out. Economic impact, LaMelo Ball. LaMelo
Ball can drop a pair of Pumas and they will sell out in five minutes
if he put Christmas colors off. So you're adding to my point superstars.
I'm just I'm asking you. I'm asking you, LaMelo Ball. I wouldn't
call him a superstar. I would call him an All Star. But it's
economic impact. Can we prove that he's having an economic impact? I just
told you, how have you seen the Charlotte Horne's arena? Is that arena
sold out? He sell out a pair of shoes. Some is Michael Jordan.
He ain't played in twenty plus years, right, Lamello ain't done nothing
besides tie the shoes every game and get an Instagram model. Yeah, it's
forget me Jesus. Listen. Listen, man, I'm gonna just say it
like this. If we're just talking about basketball, you have to remember,
man, the definition of superstar, all stars and the out of beholder because
a lot of people will say beholder. It isld you. It might be
an all star, might just be a sure Isaiah. Whatever you say,
alright, whatever you say. So are you taking zach Lavine to come to
the Bucks? Are you taking Zach come to the bucks? What do you
think Zach Lavine should Markeith Davis? Are you taking Zach Lavien to come to
the Bucks. I'll take him over. For Chris Middleton, Yeah, d
come back, come back back, Dray come make them many. Are you
gonna leave the same time again, Chris huh? Are taking Zach vin?
Christ? Yeah? Are you taking Zach? Who are you taking? Sayny
one thing? Zach Levin for Chris Middleton, d sir, that is wild?
Why why he's younger, more athletic? Okay, and he plays one.
That's not a lie. That's not a lie. Those things are are
true. No, no, those three things are true. And we need
to get younger. We can't keep staying older. What we're gonna do.
I just don't like Xac Labne's game. I don't like it. I'm sorry,
I don't like it. But we got championship pedigree in our locker room.
He ain't got no choice. But that that you see Dame starting to
get in line is dang started out rough. He started out rough, and
they they slowly getting slowly but surely look like he been here. Here's my
thing. What was that Miami? Miami? We beat Miami and those last
what five minutes? If the ball was the ball was going in between Dame
and Middleton. If you take if you take Middleton out, put Zach there.
I don't think we get the sad results. There's not a lot of
guys who mastered the mid range. Chris Middleton is one of them. I
don't think Zach Lavine and all his but if you has done, but I
should only get that once every nine games, is it really worth the gamble
Dame hold on could cause? Then if that the case didn't, we don't
have to go to Chris. We just stay with dam But we need we
need middle but we also got Zach who's athletic slasher dunker h Yeah, get
your get your fans pumped through. Just here my thing. We need that
six man we do, we need that and that's what we missed crowded herd
We need a dunker. Crowded heard need a dunker? Do we need a
dunker? We need a dunker. We need a finisher. We need we
need a finisher like that, We need a finisher. What does that day
say the top? Twenty thirteen? Okay, and what did I say?
Don't read all out? I want to face nothing. What did I say?
What? All right? Reddy? So twenty thirteen, I just wanted
to twenty thirteen. It was asking for your tickets back because I was moving
out of town. Because I was moving out of town. So I just
wanted to prove my point to him that it's spending since twenty thirty till Jason
called me. Anyway, Jason called me. Tell Jason called me, And
when you start paying for these tickets out tail Jason called me. Please start
paying with these tickets? Why I go through? You? Tell Jason call
me when you start paying, Jason, I will pay for a full season
right now. You show me Dre's been a ticket holder since twenty thirteen.
You tell me, right, I will pay that check. Bounce, It's
how I'll pay for the whole season right now. Bounce eager stop he got
coladder, I got, I got the latter a ladder run twenty three.
Sure he can, he can, he can. He can auction them off,
Like I said, Jason, show me, Dre has been a ticket
holder since twenty thirteen. I'm buying tickets right now. He can auction them
off and uh get the tickets yet? You can sell half of the me
get a season? Could you? Crazy? I'll be on the flow.
I'll be on the flow. I'll be on the flow. Okay, right,
you ain't got no excluse like that. Okay, okay, you got
some decent ones. Okay, I ain't war all of them. Okay.
The floor is yeah, okay, the floor scrubs is thirteen honey on the
floor. Scrubs is thirteen hundred scrubs. It's thirteen hundred scrubs. Its thirteen
hundred on the floor. Lakers run you five grand minimum feet on the floor.
Warriors, Warriors run you six grand. Me lebribie argument on the floor,
crazy man, bride, what's up? He'd be like, get him
out of here. That's five I'll be back. Okay, be crazy.
Let's move on. And if they ain't even worth for all of that anyway,
I've sat there before. We have to. I prefer to sit where
we currently sit. No, that one, that, No, all that
one right on the floor. You like that? Yeah? Them decent,
you know, like right on the floor. You we're not talking about where
we are. I know what you're talking about me like that, Like when
you cross your legs, Yeah like that. Yeah, it's a it's a
it's a it's a flex. I just like getting up and getting around.
You can't do that, you know what I'm saying. You think i'd be
a't on about y'all trying to get shirts in my regular You can't. You
can't. You can't move, they're gonna talk to you. Yeah, that's
what I'm saying, you know, That's what I'm saying. I don't like
that, Like I like what you're doing all inclusive. You don't even gotta
move nothing. I mean, the stuff is free, drinks is free.
That's not the highlight tickets. But yeah, but I'm just saying, like,
you know, besides that, anyway, it's a flex. I don't
find anyway Zach Levine, Chris Middleton, I give the thumbs up to the
trade to the Bucks. Really yeah, let me just breaking. Let me
say this, Keysy, you have value all Isaiah more too. He wants
to re sign with these same season tickets, so they're swing fourteen. Since
you called me, I'm just gonna keep doing this, So keep talking.
Can you stop? I'm not gonna stop because you can't. Because you can't.
You know me. You know he iss you the challenge on live TV
and you already proving your points. So why you can keep arguing with because
it keeps getting out of my skin? Man foth for you about what I'm
about to put him on the banishment again. What are you talking about?
I don't even know what he's talking about, just because I said because you're
wrong. I said he wasn't ten years up, he got a ten year
season. I'm just going through showing he just said he was. He said
it was eight. So that's not not fine. Fine, I took okay,
okay, eight, it's fine. You know you were a valuable season.
Take a hold and you guys were too for a long time. But
there's no point of my question. Is you need to flex? My question
flexing. Only all you doing is what I'm saying, is still I need
you to be a little more loyal to Chris middle Why. He has valid
points and I don't want to give it to him, but he has valid
points. So you Chris Middletown when healthy, it's critical to the city.
But that's only one Chevy nine to ten games. Can we keep living with
that? I mean, how long are you before Yannis get tired of that?
I was on the trade me and me and Keasey were both on the
trade deal a matter any team will take that contract. Me and Kesey was
on the trade Middleton trade. I wasn't trade him for Zack, but I
was on trade him when we got Drew. When we got Dame, I
was like, cool, let's get rid of Middleton. Imagine a young two
guard with Dame. I want buddy. Buddy is getting old too, Buddy
is getting old. I want a veteran though. Ain't that many young guys
out here? Keep talking. I'm not looking at it. I'm not looking
at I'm not looking at this. Please third so okay. No, to
be fair, Kesey does make a great point about us getting younger. We
can't keep we can't keep getting old. Think about this is making how much
this year Isaiah Uh he's signed for I think is making like sixty million or
something like that this year. Pay it. I'm not saying it isn't Dame
is making a ton of money. Pay it. If we pick up a
Bean's contract that gives us three players over, we're nearly one hundred and fifty
million dollars. Well what about the rest of the team, Kesey, We
can't do it with just three players. Everybody else taking pay cuts because,
as you know, Zeke looking up John's contract, you want to be a
part of greatness. So I would agree, I would potentially trade for Levigne
and if it's not disruptive and what you call it to go up again?
The salary tax, yeah, it is the salary cap. The solar capa
is going up again. So so you think the bus money is there,
So you think the Bucks should give Lavin a shot. I think they should.
I don't like it. I still't like it. You have a point
because we hometown fans and we love our hometown players. That has been here
for a while. This has been here a while, but guess what,
sometimes their tenure has to end. Okay, he's twenty eight, I'm twenty
eight in Middleton's what thirty seven? You know? Thirty seven? Thirty five?
You just made that four he's thirty five. No, look it up.
No, thirty two, okay, thirty two forty. Now his knees
is forty. His knees is forty. His knees is forty forty four forty
four, forty four on the knees, now thirty eight on the toes.
Hold say, hold on, let's add this up real quick. So he's
thirty two and age forty four in a knee. We're looking at a forty
year old Middleton right now. We're looking at a forty year old Middleton right
now. And we got a twenty eight year old zach Lavin who jumps out
the gym then and he can't shoot the ball player. But it's streaky,
and Chris Middleton is streaky if he's playing ONTs every nine games. Oldest player
on the bucks point old play on the buck right now is Brook low Paz
follow he had forty. He just had forty. But so when Brook plays
his wrong, he won't don't do any of the rest of the season.
Don't do that the Brook don't the brook don't do it? The Brook Brook
player on our team because because press said Brook low Pez is his favorite player
and layer, which y'all like to go get a nod of my book.
Bucks came on December twenty first with my season ticket. This is your fuck.
Wow, you started, you started economically. I just work the red
now. You know how it started? You know how it started? Am
I holding myself? You ain't good enough for you? Since twenty thirteen,
I don't know, you ain't. So that's where it started. He and
I stopped at fourteen because we had together back to back, so he stopped
at after the fourteen season. That was a I think what that was the
twelve and seventies that was well, First of all, that was the season
when they was just giving us tickets and they letting us do anything on the
court, and you want to sun up to see the ticket. You want
to run around and stadium real quick. Bro. We had fifth row seats
back then for about eight hundred dollars apiece. They would give you one hundred
dollars concession gift card. We had a parking path, we had fifth row.
Many wouldn't they don't give you a pot to pen. Now you need
a golden ticket? Would you if you use the Boks be honest with yourself,
you say this, But if you was the GM, would you see
I care about people? No, you know, you don't know, not
that much that you giving them just enough to get by. Here we go.
It's not it's not it's not a shot. It's just to say,
when it comes down to books and money, you know what you gotta do,
right, I get it. But you can do more for your fan,
like what you more for your fan? Like what? So for example,
they got the bogo going on right now by one get one free standing
room only, right, no lower levels. I guess the next Tuesday,
you wouldn't sit there. You wouldn't sit there, huh. Anyway, you
wouldn't sit there, think about like so, so my family and I seat
row Section one, thirteen, rolls eight or nine. That's not bad.
So anyway, so two tickets for forty bucks. We were in Atlanta.
We were in Atlanta Tuesday. That's good. That's actually good deal. We
were in Atlanta at the Falcons game, and everything in the stadium was affordable.
Chick fil A ought to be a shame on theyself eleven dollars for a
chicken such and it's four forty. It's four to fifty nine. When you
go to the saying our favorite, our favorite tacos. No, that's for
the meal we pa. No, it's not no eleven dollars. No,
it's not just the chickens. Is the chicken sanwich? Matter of fact,
it's twelve fifty a bank card. I will tell you what it exactly was.
I went there one time, our our favorite tacos. We use about
here and still have to pay like fifteen dollars. Oh I got that liquor.
Though, that's saying for three talk what I did for three tacos.
So all I'm saying is working owners can do a little more to show appreciation
of fans, like what man I did. Like when they like, you
know, hey, you want to come in sho the free throws a three.
Yeah, look, birk, I mean, you know, let me
take it. Let me take everything. Doesn't have to be so expensive,
like eight dollars for some water. Let me get a picture with bango,
let me get a picture with the cheerleading squad. And it does still happen.
It happens, But anyway, just to get back on this subject,
on this crazy episode. Oh my god, this is an insane, hilarious
We haven't had an episode like that's okay, you know, we got it.
We gotta show people. But it's not. But I I like Levine
from a standpoint of younger, younger talent. I don't think he's a better
player than Middleton athletic. Yes, Key's point, but I don't think he's
a better player. But if y'all think that would be a good shot,
I don't know that. If I'm the Bucks, I am willing to take
that gamble. Well, okay, because we were sliding in the Bucks talk
there is I had a I put a trade out here that I put it
in in the the thing. Here's a mock trade for the Bucks. Is
real? Or did you make it up? No? I made this up,
Alex Caruso. When did you make this up? I've seen it somewhere.
Alice Caruso, Kendrick Williams. We get this is a This is a
three three team trade the Bucks. Okay, see the Bulls the Bucks get
Alice Caruso, Kendrick Williams. Williams, I have no idea who that is?
Okay, see gets Patrick Williams and the Bulls get Bird Champ Bow Champ.
Bobby Portis in a twenty twenty five first round pick. What do you
guys think? I don't like any trade getting rid of Boat Champ because Kesey
just said trading for Levigne keeps you younger. Maybe I'm blinded, but I
believe both champions the future of the Milwaukee Bucks. But you think Coke,
you think Caruso and Kendrick Williams is worth. Kendrick Williams probably get dropped.
But the point is, John, we need a defensive young, a young
athletic with a long wingspan. We're gonna keep getting better. Who's gonna get
better every year? For Alas Caruso, that has gotten hurt every season since
he been in Chicago. For those who can't see me, I'm crossing my
fingers because that's how And give up Bobby, I'm saying for Alice Carusoe,
that's a stupid trade. Stupid you sure, that's stupid thing. Bobby energy
and our arena alone, it's worth more than that trade. Bobby Porters is
untouchable. Check us out, check us out real quick. And let's say
giving up the Davis. Hey, I'm saying somebody like that caliber. No,
No, that's a little that's that's I'm saying. To give a boat
Champ and Bobby in the first round. It's not gonna have to give him
some big check out. Now, that's a zacht Lavine trade. Let me
let me, let me amend it. Let me mend it. This trade
the Clippers release PJ. Tucker, I'm saying. If they did, and
we pick up PJ, PJ plays for Philly. No, he plays for
the Clippers. He got traded. He got traded with that Kenya Martin Junior
trade. Yeah, in the James Harden trade. He was part of the
James Harden trade. Yeah, they just kept him out. They haven't they
have, he haven't played. Why maybe doesn't You don't fit the rotation?
P J. Tucker. Oh dang Dji. That's what I'm saying. Check
this out now. Now we picked PJ. Yo, we don't need to
make no trades. I'm saying, because him and him and if we pick
up PJ, we gotta drop somebody. That's where That's what Kendrick Williams,
whoever he is, that's when he come to play, we drop him we
got a us Caruso and we got PJ. As you know, we lacking
in defense. We get rid of Bobby if we get rid of boat Cham
No, no, are you sure why? Because we can get PJ.
Regardless. I don't know if he can. He'll be on the market soon,
he got it. He'll make no money. We can easily drop somebody
off the off the roster, the bucks, Watson, you see them scrubs
on the end in your words, all them scrubs getting clock. What's the
little light skin guard name? I don't know his name, barely getting the
game? We get in once every seventeen games, you can give rid of
Is it Green? I like Green? I don't like it. I don't
like him. I gotta see him because you know what in he was here
to your point from earlier, his point which one of y'all said, superstars
in Summer League are different, which one y'all said that, one of y'all
said that, whoever said it, that's the difference. That's the difference,
you mean, because you gotta get in the rhythm and play a lot of
minutes to have an impact on the NBA game. If you're not in a
rotation consistently and it doesn't matter thing years old. Man, no need so
y'all don't want so, y'all want PJ for the for the low. Why
he don't make nothing? He made no? Actually he make a he makes
some money. He does not. He got paid thirty three. He did
not for three years. Yeah, he in his second year. That's not
a lot of moneys. That's eleven million dollars dollars. If it's that high,
If it's that high, boat you make more than that. It's that
high. He does it. But if it's that high, I mean,
you look at the Bucks roster right now. I'm gonna just call this out
and just say keep or drop. If we're rebuilding the roster. Dang,
who dang, I'm just going through the whole roster. Keep Bow, Champ
keep, I don't know, keep, I don't know. Malik Beasley keep
Keith keep trade bait. Chris Livings did you say trade bait? I didn't
think that was an option. Chris Livingston who who Chris Livingston? Who trade
Bay? Bobby Trade Bay? Keep mhm Brook Lopez keep keep keep Marcus Bolden,
Marcus who? Who? Marks? Who? Seriously? Trade cameraon Paine
Trade Bay keep a J Green a J. Green he can go, he
can go. That's what I said. Middleton trade, I'm open to a
trade. That's that's what Kesey was talking about. Tye ty Washington. Yep,
that's what he's talking about because he is high. You know what's funny.
He's high in practice and people be talking about him, but only because
never mind, Pat Connington, don't say that. I'm not, uh Pat
counting he can trade bad. He on his way out out of there.
Trade him now. He can go for Cruso. Ladell Winnington, Uh Pat,
Pat for Cruso. No, I'm saying, who gonna want him?
Ladell Winnington? Go ahead? Three one one? Who? Who? Who
out of here? Y of course Robin Robin low Paz Trey, No,
keep it, hey, you keep his brother happy. I'm tired of Let's
just in order to keep Brookie. You gotta key so you know, you
gotta keep the Nassis so we'll get it. Hey, we gotta keep them.
Andre Jackson Junior. I like Andre Jackson. This is my thing.
Okay, talk about real quick, Jake Crowder, keep real quick because this
is the future. Our future is Jackson bow Champ, who else. Who's
under who's under thirty Andrea Camera, I don't know. But he's on the
one year saw. All of them is on the one deal except for the
start five. So bow Champ on his third year, he had four years
contract and we picked up his we picked up his rookie options. We did,
Yes, we did, Okay, yes we did. Cameron Payne is
in his thirties. I don't think he's he's a journeyman. I don't think
he's the old man. Cameron Payne was born in nineteen ninety four, so
he's twenty nine. He'll be thirty next year. Keep them so the Bucks
have a lot of pieces, but not a lot of attractive pieces. Let's
just keep it a buck. The Bucks do not, okay, our most
attractive piece. They lack. With that being said, With that being said,
are you sure you want to bank the future on boat Champ and not
get it right on why he's still young? Nope? Because what if we
did? You see what happened with Giannis and Bowl Champ. We took a
risk and he just he became the top players he had. If that,
if that doesn't okay, bo Packers, let me say this, let me
say this Giannis is a different situation, because Giannis is a different situation just
because they had a plan like him and Jabari Parker was supposed to be the
one to By the time we thought about you know, Jabari had washed out
and at a point I thought Jabari was better than Yannis. Then Yannis had
came. It was like, hey, I'm that guy, and he's getting
better and better and better and better and better and better with bow Champ,
I don't see that progressiveness happening. And I might be just kind of like
a little hard And look how much that contract go up. Yeah, that's
crazy. So so I just don't know. The Bucks have attractive pieces,
but not a lot, Like there's no one looks at the roster and says,
if you take out our big three and a half Bobby, if you
take out Yannis Damon Brooke. The only attractive trade pieces on the Bucks really
really are Bobby and bow Cham Chris Middleton, and Chris No. And I
argue that Chris huh. I argue that he's a trade acted because of the
knees in a trade off. For Middleton, he's a champion and he has
a mid branch game. So any team can take that on. Yeah,
thirty million, thirty is not a lot. So cause think I'm gonna say
this, if ray Ball got thirty and he can't shoot, if the Bucks
win the nd season Tournament Cup, They're not going to touch this rist because
that's momentum. That's momental for them to ride all the way to the second
half of the Sea. All I know is this, the Bucks are in
Ago, what NBA Summer League, We'll think about it. Uh. Then
in the third place fourteen and six, I'm definitely really Oh yeah, that's
a great way to celebrate milestone. Yeah, send me them, don't get
the same. Yeah, we'll talk after fourteen and six. It's bad.
We not not bad record, but we're losing the teams he should be beating.
That's my point. I don't think we have any defining wins now.
I was happy about the Miami wins. We beat Boss dray took the sales
out of my took the wins on my cell. So what the fining wins
do we have so far? Boston, No, Philly, we didn't be.
We didn't be. Boston beat Philly, Philly by one. That's it.
That's it, that's it. That's it. That's it barely. Now.
Here's the thing. We beat Miami, but I said that then then
Dre was like without I was out there best player, like dang Dray,
I have to take the win on my cel. We usually we usually lose
the teams when they player. That's true because we almost lost that game,
but we didn't. So we beat the Bucks. Wins this season, we
beat defining win, fighting win. We beat Philly one eighteen and one seventeen.
We beat Miami one two to one, fourteen win. I'm just going
through the wins, so you could pick one. We beat the Knicks one,
we beat Brooklyn won twenty nine twenty five and these are all closed games
that could have very well been lost a So we beat the Heat earlier in
the season too. We did, that's the one I just mentioned. We
beat Detroit by two one twenty to one eighteen. We beat the Bulls one
eighteen to one oh nine. We beat Toronto one twenty eight to one twelve.
We beat Charlotte one thirty to ninety nine. That was our biggest win
of the season. We beat Dallas one thirty two to one twenty five.
We beat Washington one forty two to one twenty nine. We beat Washington again
one thirty one to one twenty eight. We beat Portland one o eight to
one oh two, and we beat Miami won thirty one to one twenty four,
and we beat Atlanta yesterday one thirty two to one twenty one. So
what I will say is the Bucks are putting up numbers right even in our
losses. We score over one hundred. But we just got to learn how
to close games. Because we lost to Atlanta, we lost to the Raptors,
we lost to the Pacers, we lost to the Magic who are in
second place. We lost the Boston and we lost to Chicago. But that's
because defensively we were still figuring it out, figuring it out. We haven't
really lost no game since we've been figured it out, since we've gotten someone
on the right page, we haven't lost many games. Saying we lost our
first three in the first five games, we lost five games, Bus went
on a two four six game winning streak, lost one, went on a
three game winning streak, lost one, and we won yesterday. Okay,
I don't think it's time to panic, but it is. Where is our
defining We don't have one, We don't have one. I think our defining
win will come against the Phoenix under the Lakers and the n season tournament on
Saturday. Those are so in season tournament game. Not to cut you off,
this season tournament game has playoff implications because you're gonna I'm sorry, it
has finals preview implications because if you play Phoenix, you might be playing them
in the finals. If you play well, you ain't playing the Lakers in
the finals. But either of those Western Conference teams, he know it,
he already said, you know, he's the one to say it. Finish,
want to say it. But the Milwaukee Bucks, if they played this
weekend and in the finals, that will have championship implications for everybody that's watching.
They gotta they gotta get there. What I'm saying is in the end
season tournament, if you can beat the Suns for the Lakers, it sends
them here. Hear what I'm saying. They gotta beat Boston. That's what
I'm saying. I get it. Oh you okay, you're saying both.
I'm saying, Okay, Now, if they beat Boston and season tournament,
to me, that's a definant way we can beat Boston. Right now,
though, I think we can I hope you play this week? Oh,
I hope we play on Thursday. I hope it's gonna be a good game.
It's a Boston unfortunately Vegas. To listen, what I wouldn't mind going
Tuesday game against the next in law's favorite team. Right? Yeah? What
was that to say the ticket is cheap too? So you saying I'm saying
so you were saying the same thing. Then they beat Boston, they beat
Lakers or Phoenix. Conversation, those are defining wins. I would agree.
Would you agree to that? Yes? Okay, all right? Would you
also agree they had no defining wins so far this year? Somewhat? Listen,
go ahead. They did beat Miami earlier with everybody, did they?
They did the first one with Jimmy and Tyler? Yeah? Remember Tyler had
the big game? Remember did that's the defining win? Then that's the that's
the team that was in the finals last That's not a defining win. That's
a revenge win. That's the defining win. No, I think it is.
You have to, Okay, the three big three, the big three
you have to beat in the East are Boston, Philly Heat Yes or no?
Yes, Boston, Philly heat. Somebody say it's Orlando right now.
No, I'm saying those are the big three you have to beat Orlando is
the first twenty games they're doing all right? They kind of remind me how
the Utah Jazz when they got Lucan Mark and then once the second half,
what's that second half come? You gonna think they're tanking exactly? Is there
anybody worth tanking coming out? No, he hasn't even played yet. He's
been medically. I watched the USC game. Man, they got a little
guard on USC. He's going to be the number one draft pick. He
he is a monster. He's going to be the number one draft I said
that he's skipping the game. Let's talk about this real quick. First game.
How do y'all feel about this? I love it. I don't like
it. Your father, your father, I don't like it. At the
end of the day, your father retire, so then retire. Why with
you, man? Why are you so hard on just retired? Retire?
You can't beat both retired and gave this game everything he got retired. You
sound like he needs to retire the game. Everything he got for twenty one
season he deserves. You can't have a collegiate games. He just wanted to
cardiac arrest months ago retire. All right, this has been another good episode
of ninety four ft real quick. This is this is another. This is
another one. This is another real quick, I'm done. This is another
one. Lebron James, Lebron James and Nia long husband got into it.
Y'all want to talk about this baby ex husband. By the way, she
got her mind right, Nia, She got her mind right Nia X what
x oh? She left him? She left him. Had an interview with
Jeez and everything. This ship yeah with Jez, this shot. Yeah,
he had an interview. She had an interview with Jeez. She was like
what she doing with it will happen? This will fell like a magazine and
something that you know, having stars. And then she was like what did
she say? She said, uh, she said like all men cheat something
like that, and Jesus like, I find that ridiculous because black men don't
cheat. I said, Gez, shoot your shot, shoot your shot.
Black men don't cheat. Yeah, anyways, they don't. And I cheat.
Yeah, you're right, n I g g A do cheat, but
black men don't. We support that. So I supported so faithful husband.
So mister long got into he got into it will Lebron. Here's why Bron
owned him his basketball career own. No, this will happened. This is
what happened. This what happened because we play against this what happened? Though,
he said, what did he say? He said to him? He
called him a soft, called him, he caught him a b word.
That's you know, that's a trigger Wordron. Soft is what he called Lebron.
He called Bron, he called him a little bit boy. He's like,
damn you. He said, don't don't use that word so loosely.
He said, what you're gonna do about a soft past? Lebron was like,
don't don't use that word so those loosely he said it again. Referee
tech him get out of here. I love it because he has Bron has
that Jordan influence. Don't mister ron Amy and banking you do to Lebron?
To Lebron in the game, in the game. What referee standing right?
He was John Jacking? No he was, he said. He was like
me and you you coach, I'm Lebron call him to that said call him
attle bit said, hey, man, using that word kind of loosely.
Lebron got the n B A first, Oh fly flop it. But he
said that to him, that is close. Referee right here, refeence Dad
cut it. He's like, what you're gonna do about it? Soft ast?
You run up for me like you're gonna do something aboudy. He's like,
I ain't even know nobody, but you can't be calling me that,
he said. He called him again. He said, you ain't gonna do
about it, And it was early in the game that you don gonna get
hit. Got the league, he gonna be I like doing I like I
like him. I ain't no bump, I ain't no bunk. Kids.
You know that coach doing that? A player doing that. You can't call
men out their name like that. Man here, what is it? You
sound stupid as mad as I as mad as I get with y'all. I
would never call y'all to be work. I would never stupid thing I would.
I wouldn't call y'all to be right either. That's disrespectful. That's real
disrespectful. I'm saying that. I just found the funny that that's Lebron change
twigger word. He was like, what you said, I don't even call
you the N word? Because it's disrespectful. It's disrespectful told you are held
to a different standard. My question is this is you're doing too much.
Yeah, the rep, the rep kicking him out, was doing too much.
He deserved it too much. You gotta let the coach are doing too
much? No, Lebron as a coach, you're doing too much. Lebron
wasn't gonna do nothing. He wasn't gonna do nothing episode of ninety four FT
because clearly we got he shouldn't let us let it go. He should let
it go. Ron. I'm all for men being met. You talk smacking
the game. Some people say other stuff. Some people don't. Well,
the Houston Rockets are what three in nineteen? Actually Houston records are actually decent
here. I don't know about that. They not they ate nine? Are
they? Yeah? What's their rank? What's the well they're playing? But
Lebron, you don't have to worry about people like and cold. That was
that was too much. That was That was just funny. That was funny.
It was really funny. I thought the ref and I think I thought
the ref interframe was was like, come on, borderline. I think that
was that's the borderline being a Punk. I just feel like the ref interfering
was too much. I think the ref interference shows the stroke that Lebron had.
I don't like that. I think the Jordan did it. Jordan got
Jordan got kicked out of the game and got brought back. What are you
talking about? I don't think. But I think it is this that even
though it happened back in the day, it shouldn't happened today because that's on
the borderline. Chris Paul and oh boy, I think the ref stepping in
was perfect. Why because of the coach? You are held to a different
type a standard when you're coaching. You shouldn't be arguing with him. If
I'm the coach, I'm not arguing with the other teams players. I'm gonna
argue with the other coach. That's what what's the name did? I'm not
arguing with the players Boston's coach argue with I forget the other coach, but
they did like a hack a shock in the fourth quarter up like twenty Boston
and I might argue with the refs because Billy Donovan, because defend the bulls.
Oh yeah, Andrew Drummond, Yeah, Billy Donovan. No, this
is gonna defend my players. Argue with the refs. I might argue with
the other coach, but I'm not arguing with no players as a coach.
It's just certain things that you don't do. I see what your point is.
Your point, you know, but say something to me. If somebody
say something to me, I'm gonna say something back. That's playing simple.
What did you think Lebron said to him to make him say that. I
don't know what Lebron said to him, but I know if somebody says something,
I came back down. You can't back down. You know that.
You can't back down no matter who says something. You can tell you what
it is. You tell tell you why he did that to Lebron? Why
because they want to team up? No? Because said it? What can
you be a good nigga like Lebron? Take something about that coach? He
ain't worry about Lebron crazy. He gave a nice little white woman, little
nice little redhead. He ain't worried about Nia. Man. They both broke
Now, Nia got long money? All right? This is uh. Taylor
Swift has arrived in Green Bay. Why are they covering it like that?
Nia? Yeah? Yeah, I don't care. Taylor Swift Nia, Taylor
