Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, casting dogs. Your boy big Zeke
in the building. I heard my brother Dre. Hey, what's good everybody?
I hear my brother Kezy, what's good? Good? People? All
right now? How y'all doing? Oh? Man? Good? Good?
Good? A right, and that's good. It's good. It's good.
Uh. Welcome to the ninety four feet Podcast. I introduced myself. I
figure that Drey injury report, Yo injury report. Check it out. The
Chicago Bulls are without zach Lavine. He has a right ankle spraying. Cavaliers
are without Garland An injured jaw Evan Mobley is also out. He's needing left
knee surgery. He is out six to eight weeks. The Warriors are without
Chris Paul. He has a fractured left hand. He is still out.
The Patriots are without Halliburton. He is listed as day to day. The
Los Angeles Clippers are without Zubac right calfstring. He is out four weeks.
The Grizzlies are just man man, man man. There'll be a lottery tine,
but hopefully it's worth it. They are without Desmond Bay six weeks.
Ankle spray Marcus Smart is still out this time, it's his ring finger.
Six weeks. John Moran is out for the rest of the season. You
know what's interesting about the John Morant injury. We talked about all the explosiveness
that deack Rose used to do and how he injured his body. That's the
same track that John's kind of going on because that was the result of an
explosive play. So yeah, I think the Grizzlies know what's up and they
coasted that injury. I don't think it is as bad because I watched surgery.
No, I watched the play. I watched it, dude, it
wasn't that bad. I've seen worse. I can see six eight weeks out,
but a season ending that shoulder a shoulder. Let me tell you,
I'm not a I'm not an aff I had a shoulder injury, a rotator
cup injury, and had to rehab it for a year to avoid surgery.
And it was the most painful thing I've ever experienced in my life. Painful
injury I've ever experienced in my life was my rotator I had a shoulder injury.
So how did you do? How did you get a rot cup injury?
Playing football? And football? We was at the church reunion picnic and
my uncle Mervin. I think y'all were there, or you were there my
uncle Mervin children. You know it's army of them. Uh. We were
playing flag and he tackled me, so I tackled him back, and they
all dog powder and you and you got hurt, hurt my shoulder, hurt
my wrist, and I wrote I had to rehab for a year man on
a rowing machine at the ymc A. Because most people that get rotator cut
surgeries will tell you after that first one it's still non normal. They have
to go under a second and the third time. So all I'm saying is,
don't underestimate that sor I injured my shoulder playing uh black football in the
league, and my shoulder still kind of messed up. That was like almost
two years ago. Yeah, so trying to tell you, man, I've
no people that friendly two and three times. Hold on, you're gonna look
at me like that. Would you believe that injury story he just told from
football? Well, there's there's a lot of witnesses to mine and Doctor Bill's
improvement. So I mean I got doctor Bill's too, But you know,
let's just you just say you're not an athlete and you say you hurt yourself
playing for well, I mean, who plus two is four? It's not
five? Well, just because just because I'm not an athlete, when I
can't play flag football, I don't. I'm not a basketball player. But
I'll go and play horse. But you will tackle somebody, you know what,
horse, You will definitely tackle somebody. We played football, tray,
we're just playing one on one. I'm just saying, man, don't get
too aggressive out there. Man, I'm come to my lane. You won't
catch these boats. So uh we uh, we're gonna move on to the
shooting around where we talk about things going on around in the n b A.
Uh. To start off, the Toronto Raptors saying past as Pascal,
Pascal, Pascal, just say his name, Pascal, thank you, Uh,
to the Indiana Pacers for Bruce Brown, Jordan's Norwood, Laura you don't
and the silent at the band Brood Jordan Nora and three first round pick gentlemen,
what do we think about this? Trade? Way too much? What?
Way? Too much? Street? First round? You know? Uh,
Siam is an all star. I thought it was too little. Listen,
America, this is our first time back together in twenty four but we
talked about this on the first episode of the new year. Uh, myself,
Chris and Keasey went around on the value of Sayakam. Right we went.
We talked about his value and most of us at this table thought he
was a tip for tat or two for one player you gave up. Here's
what annoys me about this trade. One two. You gave up five players
for a guy whose contract ends at the end of the season, who remains
non committal to the Pacers. Okay, Usually when you trade players, it
comes with the automatic I'm gonna sign right away. He is not committal to
continuing his career, Let me finish and I'll give it right back to you.
I promise you was not gonna be a rank. I don't like it.
He's a great player. This just made the Eastern Conference harder for the
Milwaukee Bucks. So from that aspect, the Pacers got better because they didn't
lose any of their core talents, which we also talked about. You match
up Sayakam with Halliburton, with Miles Turner, the Pacers have now a backcourt
that's arguably unguardable in the Eastern Conference. So I like it because the Pacers
got better. It sucks for the Bucks and it sucks for the future of
the Pacers because they gave up way too much. That's it, all right.
Pascal Siakam is not as good as everybody think he is. He's a
decent player, hands down, he's a decent player. But thinking he's gonna
come over to them and save the day for Indiana, it don't mean saving.
It's a it's a bit stretch at the end of the day because at
the end of the day he can't do nothing with you're talking about what the
Bucks can't beat the Pacers. Now, listen when the game gets slowed down
in the playoffs. As everyone though, it ain't that running gun in the
playoffs, And tell me a series you've seen that was running gun like Indiana
likes to play. That's how they beat you. They running gun all night
because they're young and they have seven or eight young players that can run.
They're not beating people in a half court game. But they playoffs started today,
the Milwaukee Bucks would not beat the Indiana Pacers. If the playoffs started
today, they would play the Pacers and we would be in trouble. We
would not. We would not, we would not. We won this season.
Okay, okay, that's okay, But why why why did you tie
ssy come into not being that good? That man's average in the near triple
double all season? He was the hottest free agent not period. He's the
hottest trade commodity out there everybody wanted because I mean, I didn't say he
was a scrub, not as good as everybody think he is. I mean
he's a he can play, is an All Star though he made the All
thirteen, He's not an All Star. To me, he's really not an
All Star because if that's the case, in the Toronto will have a better
record than what they got. He's a champion. They ain't got nobody.
They traded everybody. I'm just telling you, though, If he's as good
as they say he is, then why isn't Toronto that's good? He's twenty
and ten. He's twenty in ten? Yeah on Toronto? What do you
mean? On Toronto? He's a twenty and ten player consistently. Look at
what the score has been for Indiana this well, it's been a day or
two. He just got cleared. He played a few games already, a
handful of game. They about seven games played three. I just know because
the first game they said he had like twenty something. Second game, I
think he had like twelve. Tell you right now, I got you.
I just know he is an All Star. Don't want nobody talking bad about
the butts. I don't have the problem what you're talking about. But you're
talking about Pascal Siaka. It's going to make their team better. And at
the end, he's only playing one game a game. And at the end
of the day, because I'm thinking about somebody else, I'm thinking about the
R J. Bart to trade, never mind about somebody else. But at
the end of the day, Indiana lost in this deal. They did big
time because at the end of the season, he got a choice, say
or go wherever. He won't. They just gave up three first round picks.
They gave up Bruce Brown, which is a defender. Yeah, and
they gave up a young player to Jordan is not a real I mean,
he's not young, he's just he's just young. Wow. I'm not surprised,
but okay. But at the end of the day, Indiana also kind
of won too because now you're clearing up some cap space because you got off
that Bruce Brown contract. Bruce Brown got paid this summer. Did y'all not
remember pay too much? He got paid too much? Or what he do?
Brown? You're Los Angeles Lakers. Bruce Brown came from the Denver Nuggies,
right, Yeah, the Lakers wanted him, but the Lakers didn't have
the cap space. So now the rumor says that he's not even fully suiting
up yet because the Lakers are going to try to make a play to get
him traded to the Lakers roster before seasons in. So Bruce Brown, Yeah,
but the Lakers are still trying to make a play to get nobody,
Sonny. The Lakers they in such a predicament where they almost as bad off
as when they had Russ and they couldn't get Oh god. So so back
to what you're saying about Indiana. I think they got better, but I
also think they lost that they lost long term. I don't know if they
lost long term. It's a roll of the dice. It can either go
really well for them or it can go really bad for them. With the
trade. The good part is they clear up cap space and if they want
to bring inst somebody else next year, they can or give Halliburn a bigger
deal. Halibird does not need a bigger deal. But you know they will,
you do. That's their superstar. I don't believe the hype. Oh
but you know they gonna cash off because I know. But he's not that.
He's not him. Who's not him? He's their biggest Halbert. He's
the biggest player in Indiana. It's Reggie Miller. How does he Paul George.
I don't know that Paul George was big in Indiana. He was.
Paul George was that dude in Indiana. He wasn't bigger than Reggie Miller.
He was coming to his he was, he was around. Yeah, I
can see if he was young. He said the next biggest thing since Reggie
Miller. Miller was bigger than Paul George. Calibard is not as big as
no Beggie Miller. He's nowhere near on that Calia bigger than Paul George.
He's not to Indiana, it's not didn't even want a playoff series yet,
Paul George, Paul George, what either he did? Are you Payny Granger
won those series? Paul George won those series. That's when Paul George was
rare form. But then remember he broke his Remember he broke his leg that
summer after that playing for USA basketball, and he ain't been the same sense
he was given Brown and the fits. You don't want to all the playoff
p I got hurt. I don't know if he uh still it's still not
bigger than Ray Miller, but or he's not still not bigger neither one of
them. But at the end of the day, neither one are. But
I think he went to them to the final in the same boat as Paul
George. To be honest, nah, meaning what I'm saying as far as
recognition, and no, he's not, he's more, I know, just
what I'll say is still yet to be determined. Hold up, it's still
yet to be determined. Halliburton for Halliburton. Halliburton is about to be an
NBA starting All Star. George Pau has never been an NBA starting at Yeah,
no, he hasn't. Look it up. Look it up. He
is not now with the Pacers, now with the Pacers, now with the
Pacers. I don't know, I know he hasn't. It's always been when
Lebron was in the East. Swayne Wade we're talking about just All Star stars
anyway. Tyrese Halberd, I'm not a fan. I think he's kind of
he does have an ego for no reason. But the Indiana Pacers will cash
out on him because he's a guy who appears to like Indiana. Indiana is
not a bad team. They in the story of Indiana and Milwaukee. Right
now, they have the Bucks number. I just think that this whole trade
because coming from both y'all, for both perspectives, I think Indiana won this.
Obviously he didn't want the trade, but as far as him signing long
term, I don't I understand him. Like, I'm gonna see what happens
this season, because if they have a good season, why not resign.
And then on top of that, the Indiana Pacers didn't need him. They
like they've been beat they got the Bucks number so far this season, they've
been keeping up with other teams, so like, it's not like we're they
just they needed him. I think he's he's just another piece that making you
so wrother he signed re signed with them or not. I don't think it'll
be a big loss because they didn't give up nothing. They gave up Bruce
Brown. Uh, some dude that the Bucks had that probably ain't getting no
clock and three first round picks, and they ain't gonna get no really top
ten picks. So, and I've seen the draft. Unless you're finna get
Bronnie James and get Lebron, that's really not there's really nothing in the draft
work like really breaking your neck to get So he's gonna get drafted. I
think you get draft. I think you get signed out. He's gonna get
drafted just because, just because the second late second round, he's gonna he's
gonna get drafted first round. The first thing they're gonna do when they give
him the phone, pass it to your daddy. Pass the phone to your
daddy. Let me talk to him real quick. Lebron, what do you
want to do? You sign it? Okay? Said, Miami's going all
out on him. Oh you sign it all right, I'll see you.
We will send me one drafted. They send scouts to his games. I
bet they did. Everybody want to see Briddy play. What I don't like
about that is how college who's is supposed to be competitive, You're supposed to
have some grace, but people are going him at games people are chanting overrated,
people are chanting, who's your daddy? People are taking it way too
far. He's still a kid. This in high school. He's been getting
high school. But remember her generation? These are these are these who?
Who does respect? Who do you? Who do you think is at the
games? Rod's out of all the road games? I know, but I'm
saying what type of fans you think of those games? The colleges? So
the people around his same age, So who ain't got enough sense to know
don't do that type of stuff? You know what I mean? You know,
I like it. This is this is, this is how we were
making soft soft and all ain't got time for all that. I ain't gonna
lie watching Broanni play. You know, he sucks. He's going to be
a decent point guard. He's gonna be what a decent point guard? Who
if he make it to the league. When he makes it to the league,
lebron is a j Bronnie. I'm not saying anything about his potential,
but let me say this before we get back to Brodney, back to the
Pacers comment real quick, because I don't want to lose that thought. If
Sam you said they want if he doesn't re sign with the Pacers, the
GM is fired for day. They didn't need him. Do they need him?
Three first round draft because they're they're not for just next year, their
their future. Yeah, seven, we haven't seen. We talk about this
all the time. Like, the reason you can do that is because you
have a young point guard. You can build am around Haliburt. So at
the end of the day, the next three years of picks really don't matter.
Plus you're not gonna have no good picks. So now not a movie.
Back to Bronnie. Bronnie to me, and I want to be careful
because I don't want to crush what he's doing. But I've seen better players.
Now just say something doesn't suck because you're playing for USC. He does
not stand out to me as a n B A. I'm not gonna says,
Okay, it's okay. He doesn't stand out as an NBA prospect.
Why what makes one height? Height is a big challenge. You're talking about
point guard. You're talking about this man is gonna be holding Chris Paul Drew,
Holiday, Damee Lillard, Steph Curry, Tyrese Halliburton. You're talking about
guys that he has to guard not happen. The second thing six three six
for the same height as all of them, that he is not the same
he is, he's sixty three. Okay. The second thing, the second
thing, your daddy's name can only take you so far. It'll get you
in the league. It'll get you in the league. Low second or maybe
g leads. Okay, but you're gonna start seeing so then so then so
then you are you first? You are all about what promotion? So how
do you think you are all about? How do you think bottom dollars?
Do you think you ain't going late? First round? How did you think?
How do you think we'ves got in the league? Who? Who?
Austin Reeves? Yeah, Doxa, Yeah, I'll say this as Austin.
Austin rivers better than what Bronni was. Yeah. And not only that,
Austin he was ball Yes, he was balling in North Carolina. And Duke
was it Duke on North Carolina balling or he or he was playing good?
No, he was on that roster. They had a ninth roster. Who
else is on that roster? I don't know at the time of it,
Hunsey, tell me one person on Brownie's roster that you know, the other
point guard, he's better than him. He's way fer. He's tired as
one of the highest. He's he's top five. I know he is.
Yeah, So what's your point, dude? He just started playing, he's
only been playing like five but he's also talking about going to the league after
one year. Why why is it not possible. I'm not saying that.
We're saying I'll say this, No, I'll say it. I'm saying,
like, why do you say he's not in the NBA? Don't know?
Dre is over there? Sugarcoats drel their sugar coating it. I'm gonna say
what it is. I'm just asking his opinion. He's sot what y'all saying,
and like he suck. He's sucked. What you're talking about Keasey stopping?
He sucked. Your nephew is gonna give him buckets. That's how bad
it is. That's what I'm looking at. Your nephew's gonna give him buckets.
He went zero four eleven in the game and page twenty five minutes.
He just he just went one for six from three. He's just gonna he
just scored twenty. He's a defense oh yeah, this first time is Jerry
scored twenty. Uh, it wasn't just yesterday the game he's Kevin Durant was
at okay at the game before that when he went open seven his first time
starting. That's the game you're talking about. He just scored twenty, beautifu
awful. Great thing. He won't score twenty again this year. My point
is this, Keysy, No, I don't know, maybe fifteen. He
might get one more. But the point is this, Casey, if they're
lucky enough to make the n C at the East n C Double A tournament,
my god, their recordous right now. I don't want to see him
be on a national stage like that and get embarrassed because it's gonna be bad.
How was he even? What is this gonna be embarrassed about him?
Well, here's the thing, Ronnie. If I'm Briannie, I don't want
the moniker. Rich people think differently. I'm not one, but most people
don't mind riding their rich families coteils to the top. Let me ask you
this, If the NBA had to pick who's more valuable to the NBA,
Michael Jordan or Lebron James, Michael Jordan's Okay, to the NBA now right
now, Lebron, Michael Jordan's kid tried it and failed twice. Twice the
greatest player ever and even Michael's name couldn't get them in the NBA. Yeah,
Lebron might be able to get him in a team, but with Lebron
being at the latter end of his career, I don't see teams sweating Ronnie
as much as you think they are just only old. Look, the only
NBA team right now that is showing any interest is the Miami because they think
they could have a chance to sign Bron, which they probably could. It's
Miami who wouldn't want to play there. Lebronni does not strike me as an
NBA ready player, and I'm not saying he won't ever, but maybe he
should stay in college all four years I think at least too. But he's
not gonna do that. No, why would he? And then and then
let's just cut to while we have the second highest NIL deal right behind Dion's
son. So he alreadys worked like eight million dollars of his own money,
not including trust funds, not including daddy's money, not including anything else.
But he just doesn't strike me and I'm talking basketball. I don't like that
people booh. I don't like that people hate on him on the internet being
Internet bullies. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
But in a world of sports talk, Rannie does not strike me as an
NBA ready player. I'm not gonna say suck. You said that he does
not strike. He sucks. He was over there, sugar coat man.
I mean, I think his skills set is just not ready for potential.
No, no, he sucks. And why we had it? Lebron retired.
Let's just get it out the way. Let's just get it out the
way. Okay, you're you over the post gag whyt should your son play?
Just retire already, Just get it out the wave, reporters. After
you lose by thirty, I'm looking forward to going home. Man, he
should have shot that. He should have shot that. So Lebron, y'all
just lost by thirty? What do you think about? We just didn't.
We weren't playing well. Lebron. You gotta shoot that. Retire, just
retire already. Just get it over with. He's turning the NBA to a
reality. I ain't got time of this. Your hand's not here Lebron,
and I get it. You have a son. You want to see his
beautiful thing. Lebron is there because it's at the end of the day.
He's still better than ninety percent of the NBA eight about seventy five eighty.
I'm cutting it to eighty, he said seven. I say ninety eighty ninety.
Yeah, it's about ten percent of the league that you're saying. So
you can raign ten player you can name. So you're saying Lebron is top
eleven then because you said he's better than ten percent of the league, ninety
percent of the league. Yeah, so he's saying he's top ten right now.
Yeah. No, no, he's not top ten. No tell me
ten. I'll start with his team man, Anthony Davis. No, he's
better than Lebron right now. No, absolutely, yeah. I stay healthy,
all right, he can't stay healthy. But that has nothing to do
with his skill set. Okay, they had nothing do with a skill set
because when he owned Okay, I get that. So you said, name
ten Johannis step easy easy, uh uh uh Halliburton, he said, all
right, ja James Harden. Wow, wow, Luca, you said James
Harden. You just named so many players who ain't done nothing outside of Jiannis.
I'm so I'm so proud of this dude. Wait, I'm on seven.
Joker, that's eight. Okay, that's eight. Let's see who else
is out there. I don't have a indeed, Yes, thank you,
that's nine. You can help. Oh, then timp Let's see here Lebron.
I mean, I don't have a list of players in fun of me
right now. But if you think any of the player that I just named
that Lebron is better than you didn't have a relapse. I don't. I
don't agree with better than. I don't agree with this list. I'll give
you ten. Do you want to give your team? Give me ten,
because I want to see what's different from the Only person on my list that
was questionable was Harden. Everybody else? Are you kidding me? I said
that, and b I said that, Joker, I said that, Luca
I said that. I didn't say that, but thank you. I throw
in Steph. I said that, I'm gonna go go Jalena, go Jaydon
Brown. I'm gonna go Jaydon Brown. That should be worse than me.
Saying Harden them too is definitely hard. Saying you said that I'm trying to
throw Bok. I throw Booker in there. I throw Fox. Yeah,
y'all fought Fox. I'm throwing. I'm trying. I'm trying to keep it
keeping it young. You're keeping it y'all so disrespectful. I'm keeping it young.
Just better than disrespect How named? How are they better? Tell me
how besides championships? No tell me, how tell me any impact that any
one of them does by their self that makes them better than Lebron James.
Their teams are winning, Dallas got, Dallas got a horrible record. Their
stats are better, So then take Luke off. Their stats are better.
James Harden definitely is not better James. Le Brown is definitely not. We
didn't name Shape, we didn't name Shae. Sha is definitely not better than
Lebron. What right he's torturing the league by hisself. We didn't name Kawhi
and he was. I was trying to keep it young. I'm trying to
keep it young. Y'all tripping, y'all smoking, I've never spoke any dope
ever in life. My thing is, I'll say this, it's okay for
players to age and not be as good as they were. But they're not
better than him, and he's thirty nine. I don't care what you say.
That's not top twenty. They're not better than him. Murray, uh
nugget no, Jamal Jamal Murray nod. I'll give you five. Maybe who's
your five? Maybe five? Who's your five? You're five better than Janni's
joker? Maybe Anthony Edwards right now even mentioned him the next I will I'm
gonna I'm not gonna give him that because I like the way he did the
I ain't like the way he handled the game. Doesn't Yeah, you're you're,
you're, you're, you're being a fan. I'm stressing it. Maybe
step maybe staph. But like, I don't know, how can you classify
them as better? Like because like who his Lebron stats are there with all
of them. That's the thing I only get, like, like, what
is classifying that's making them better than him? Where is where is Lebron right
now? In scoring and his stats in his statistically right now? Where is
he at? But I don't want to know what he did. I know
he has six championship congratuates and I'm sure he has four championships. I get
that he dominated the East for like ten years. I get that too.
We're talking about his history. Now we're talking about his current currently. Now
he's playing, he's averaging the same thing as like right now, right now,
Lebron James is the only thing holding the Lakers together from them not being
at the bottom of the league. So then what that tells you how good
he is? Then still but they're still at the bottom of the league,
They're just not at the bottom. Then how does how does Luca become better
than him? And look at them, is worse than them? Luking them
is like number twelve right now, Luca nim is number six. Luca's number
six. The Lakers are numbers. I needn't say Zion because I don't really
know. He got issues. So here's Lebron's current status. Lebron right now
is averaging twenty four points, so he's eighteenth in the league in points.
He's averaging seven rebounds, he's thirty second in the league, and he's averaging
seven assists, which is impressive. He's ninth in the league. And he's
shooting fifty two percent from the field goal line, which is twenty ninth in
the league. So here's the bottom line. We're not saying Lebron is a
scrub or bad. But the bottom line is, you can see how you
classify players better than him with those twenty four to seven Just say twenty four
to seven and seven twenty five, but age eight, what is halibird numbers?
I'm just saying. I didn't say Halliburton either. I didn't say Haliburton.
I said Haliburton just kidding. Never would I put him over Lebron.
Half the players that I put on the team above Lebron are more valuable to
their team than Lebron is right now because Lebron plays and the Lakers still leaves
because look who around him. No, I don't care about no damn starting
lineup that they won one game with. They just oh, now you don't
care, don't I No, you don't care. I don't want to about
because at the end of the day I was talking about still talking about these
same players. The last time I was all right, they went to the
Eastern Western Conference finals. Torian Prince out in thirteen threes. How the hell
is that possible to win? Think about Think about the name that I just
said. I know, Jesus said, I know what You're finished say?
I listened to the show last time. My question for you is this,
when you keep talking about this team Kelo for holding it down last week to
man, thanks for that, bro. My thing is, why would you
or no, why do you keep bringing up the team around him, because
if if we talk about it, because everybody else get a pass when the
team around them sucks. For me, you already know Stephem sucks. Steph
team sucks this year. But he okay, they sucked this year, right,
Yeah, Lebron and them sucked this year. Last year they was at
the Western Conference finals and they beat Steph. So how does Steph go ahead
of him? Then if Steph recording them is worse because Steph is an MVP
candidate. I wasn't I wasn't gonna say that. I was gonna say I
I'm argue with it. I was just gonna say that Steph that sucks.
Steph had to head record will Lebron. He's he has a winning record against
Lebron. That's all I was gonna say. I didn't do it. Sure
you did well, Keusy was banging the table, Well it fell. It
took some time. The point I'm making is this what I think Dre has
a point. As far as the team being better, I don't think.
But the team being better. That's why I didn't say Kevin Durant. I
didn't say Steph Curry. I said. I could have said them too,
but I didn't say them too. They're around Lebron James age almost so I
didn't. That's why I didn't. I didn't. I didn't say them too.
But you have to give it to the young talent that's in the league
right now. As far as being better than Lebron's skill wise, they haven't
done anything. But when they're when like Shay is leading the league in scoring
right now, he's on a tear. He's on the Oakland, he's on
the Oklahoma City Thunder, that our second Western who has the ball in his
hands of the time. So does Lebron. In the Lebron has the ball
in his head a lot. It's easy to score. There's not no scrubs
over there, all right, Let's they ain't got Notorian Prince. What does
that have to do with do they shoot? They shooting like nineteen percent When
they won the nd season tournament, you said they deserve to celebrate because they
wont it. Okay, they did it. They won the first one.
Why not celebrated they actually won them all because there were steps to it.
They won one game for the title, but they won first round, second
round, third round, etc. Now that the Lakers are bad now is
for a look who he got. I've been saying that all season. Ain't
nothing change. I just hate that. I hate to hate that near it.
I've been talking about the I've been talking about the same players all see
all season, Keasey. Are the Los Angeles Lakers a playoff team? Yes?
Or no? Do they make the playoffs this year? Not unless they
make the trade I said, they do, I play anything. They don't
have a consistent score outside of Lebron and a D. They didn't last year.
They did. The Lakers turned it on at the right time. Last
year, A D showed up to work, Lebron showed up to work.
That team on the they Lebron and AD took the Lakers on their backs to
the conference finals. But when you play against real teams, you lose.
And we saw that Denver swept him badly. So it happens. But it
is what it is, man. I mean, I just feel like Michael
Jordan was forty I was not arguing that he was the greatest player in the
league. I was. Did I say he was the worst player in the
league, that the top ten and he's not. Jordan went top ten,
They're not, didna argue with back then? Jordan? Jordan is nowhere nearest
good as Lebron. Jordan had a worse team than Lebron. Jordan had a
worst team and Lebron than Lebron, and Jordan was a game away from the
NBA playoffs. Agent zero. He had Larry Hughes had all of them when
they were young. Bro. He had freaking Kwame Brown. You tripping hard.
I'm not even thinking on that Kwame Brown stuff anymore. Jordan had,
He had Rip Hamilton. Come on, man, he dogged them, and
he dogged them. Every veteran on that team said he dogged Kwame. He
shut up. It's up. They wanted him to suck. You said it,
said it. He sucked like Bronnie Roddy this year. So this year
the NBA All Star Game will be in Indiana, and the NBA voting is
about to close. Also this year be East versus West. They bringing it
back, which up, I find We're very very interesting to be honest with
you, who is your All Star? Real quick? At age forty,
Michael Jordan played all eighty two games. He played all eighty two games.
He played all eighty two games, the only player on that team. He
averaged twenty three points, six rebounds, five assists. Bron is thirty nine,
and he's slightly better than Michael, and he has Anthony Davis. Michael
at forty had Kwame Brown, Rip Hamilton, a young Larry Hughes. I
want to be Phil Jackson coach. So at forty, Michael did all that,
and we were not calling him better than No, we were not.
You know, we were not. We were No, we were Now right
now, this is what I say, saying that this would I'll say to
that he was riding Jordan's say that this is the time. This is a
different time. This is a different time. You can't even compare it to
But I will say this about the whole Jordans and Washington with did I forget
he played for them? Yes? I did. With the expectations about yeah,
where the expectations high? They were not. The expectations are high for
Lebron, they're high. He sat him there. So yes, we are
saying I'm not even saying that he is who he used to be, Like,
I know he's not. The numbers, the numbers that he's putting up
right now at forty are incredible, are incredible. But if he was like
thirty, we'd be like twenty one seasons. Okay, you're twenty one,
so then you should be even more comfortable with saying he's not a top ten.
I said he's top twenty. He's top ten, top twenty, top
I don't think it's ten players better than him fifteen. Let's say, what
do you want to say? That's my opinion. Let's just go. Let's
bring it back to the All Star Game, which Lebron will make. Who
is your All Star? Let's start with KIZI Lebron, and who are we
doing? West and East? Doing West and East? I'll even give you
a six man Okay, so let let's let's let's look. Are you ready
or do you need a minute to fight down? I'm name the starters,
Lebron, Lebron, Lebron, Bronnie. Let me tell you something about let
me tell you something about the popularity of Brinnie if he made the All Star
Game or All Rookie Team I'm gonna be irritating what he's putting on the court
right now. Draft him to get drafted is an accomplishment of South. You
see what happened to Jordan's Sun. It's like, nah, we're good.
I mean one of them got cut. But I digress. Yeah, Okay,
like a lot of the NBA players kids are not that great. I
think Lake Thompson is an exception. Okay, Halliburton is an exception. You
know what, One day we should look at the topic NBA players and their
kids. We should look at that and see how we ranked them or something.
But Kes, are you ready? All Star? I'm going to second
Okay, So Eastern Conference. Uh, I will give you my backcourt.
I will give you uh Tyrese Halliburton, I'll give you Tree Young. I
don't like that. I'll give you Giannis. I'll give you Embeid. I'll
give you Tatum. My six man would be Dang mm hmmm. And that's
because I'm loyal to the Bucks. Okay, over in the Western Conference,
my back court would be Steph Curry of course, and Luca h My front
court would be Lebron mm hmmm, the Joker and Kevin Durant put him in
there. If my six man, I mean, it doesn't mean that Lebron's
not great. I mean he's an All Star. Yeah, he's an All
Star. He's not top ten. Why put him in? Okay, fine,
then Lebron's a six man. Okay, Son will probably because the Western
Conference is stat I'm gonna give it to Shy Shane, Shae, Shay gives
Alexander. You're gonna ready to heal your woman to go. Yeah, I'm
gonna start with the West because I always forget about Shay. I'm gonna go
Luca. I'm gonna go Shae. I'm gonna go k D. I'm gonna
go Lebron. Uh and then Joker. Obviously my sixth man is going to
bed. I'm trying not to forget abad It's impossible for so many it is.
I'm gonna go coaches got their working off for them this year. Picking
the reserve, you know, I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Kawhi
Leonard. He's been balling this year. Man, he has been playing a
lot. He has a missed. I don't think he's missed the game.
He did get he had soreness and they did rest in one game. Okay,
But and then the East, I'm going holler Bert calibert and y'all,
y'all say that man's name on like cut you in because he hate him.
I'm gonna go Dame. I'm gonna go Dame. And then I'm gonna go
Yarns, Jason Tatum, and then in bed at center. And then for
my six man, I'll go you know what I'm going. Who I'm going
with. I'm going Maxie, Maxi, Yeah, I'm going Maxie. Yeah,
I'm going Maxi. Who you got Keithy you did both yours? Yeah?
All right. For the West, I'm going Lebron Joker k d mm
hmmm, Anthony Edwards and he's not gonna start. He's not gonna get more
boast than Steff or No. I got, I got the current Collies right
now. I'll say it once PC. Does he see me a favorite and
say that again? Please? I'm sorry. Lebron Joker KD, Anthony Edwards,
and Luca hm hm who's your six man? Six man? Okay,
steph mm hmm. All right now those are our pigs. Who is currently
in the league for the starting five, So the current in the league of
starting five as of yesterday. The day is the final day, but as
of yesterday in the Western Conference, the top vote getters are Lebron Joker,
KD, Anthony Davis, and Kawhi Soah. The Ethony Davis for the front
court. Now, if this, if this were, if voting was closed,
Lebron, Joker and k D would start. Those would be the three
if voting closed today the backcourt top five? Don't do give me a starting
five. I just gave it three. The other two would be Luca and
Steph. Really, yes, Steph has more votes than Effey Edwards by a
lot. Anthony Edwards is not even top ten. Okay, After Steph is
Shy Shy, Gilgas, Alexander James Harden and Kyrie Irving in top five.
Yes, I gave your top ten over at the front court over in the
Eastern Conference that the three front court starters would be Janni's by a lot.
Given pick East? Did we pick East? Did? Y'all don't even give
me a chance to pick the East. But you just stopped talking. I'm
sorry, I thought he interrupted me. I'm sorry you figure East. I
didn't even realize. I know Jannis has more votes by more than a million
votes than anybody on All Star team. Filot anybody he got my vote to
anybody Lebron second, yep, go ahead. You see an Eastern Conference Joker
and KD. Yeah, who's your East? So then I can go through
the list. Janni's embiid, Jianna's embiid and Tatum mm hmm. Front court,
backcourt. I'm going with Maxie and Lillard who man six man? I'm
going with LaMelo who LaMelo ball? Okay, So the right now there today
In the front court, it would be honest Joel and Jason Tatum all right.
In the back court, it would be Tyrese Haliburton by a lot,
and Trey Young Okay, I mean I get it. The other because he's
a good guy. The other the other leading vote getters in the front Jimmy
Butler this year and Jaylen Brown. You have to remember the All Star he
is voted by the fans from the top ten players and then and then the
guards. It's Dane, it's Donovan Mitchell it this year, and it is
Tyrese Max He shouldn't over over Tree. Huh. So we can't. We
don't get it. We don't get I'm just saying, like, do you
feel yeah, no, he won't. No, I know what I'm saying.
Do you feel like Trey Young should be in that starting spot over Dame?
That's what I'm asking. I voted for Dame because Mike, because I'm
loyal to Milwaukee. Uh. I finally got a chance to see Dame time
in person last Sunday night, meaning when he hit the shot at the buzzer,
I had never seen him do it in person. Obviously, Dame Lillard,
it wouldn't surprise me at the Milwaukee Bucks front office, and some fans
are having buyer's remorse. If what having buyer's remorse about bringing him to Milwaukee.
Talk before let me ask your question. I voted for Dame to go,
But who's more deserving to start? It's Tyre's Maxim. No, I
know that, but I'm saying that there's two guard spots right now, it's
Trey Young. Do you feel like Dame should have that spot? He should?
He's actually about one hundred thousand votes short. All right, Milwaukee,
step up, you got into midnight. You got into midnight? Step up?
Yeah, I know. Now the standings are as of right now,
maybe you should go get a rapper to retweet for him. So Drake Drake
helped. That was it Wiggins get on? That was another wasn't Drake?
That was a some Chinese pop star. Yeah, So the playoffs are a
couple months away, but we're gonna probably talk about this again, but I
just want to hear some early predictions. First five teams. Not worried about
the six through ten. Six through ten is and no, I won't say
yeah, six through ten is separated by two games in East. In the
East and then in the West. It's separated Yeah, by like i'd say
about two Yeah, half a game, half a game. Am going to
get to the little Yeah, about half a game, half a game?
I got. I got a couple of teams. You are you know?
Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I want to
see do you guys think these teams will make the playoffs or not. We'll
start with the East Chicago Right now, they're ninth spot, they're twenty one
and twenty three. Last team games, they're six and four. Do you
think they're gonna make the playoffs? Playing? Do you think they'll make the
playing? Yes? Because if you look at the bottom of the East yeah,
Kesey, I mean you know what I'm saying. Below five hundred,
you can still make the playing. Yeah, so Kesey sick. Uh,
Chicago Bulls, they're making them playing. It depends on if they decided to
gut it or not, which means they decide to gut each of the team.
Are you know they make those trades that they make those trades, they're
gutting it, which means they are trying to fall below the tanking. Here's
my thing about it. I think they need to cut ties with zach Lavine.
And I know the mar wants out because you know, but I think
they need to cut with zach Lavine to kind of build get a point guard
because somebody want them. I think they need to cut ties with them too.
Dead. Yep, that is true. Atlanta Hawk. Right now,
they're in tenth position, their eight they're below, they're seven six games below
five hundred, six games below five hundred, then the tenth spot. Making
a play yes, you say, yes, yes, will get them in
the playoffs. Looking at the bottom of the thing they're in the play in
because if you look at the bottom, looking at the bottom, horners have
no chance. We'll just have no chance. His just have no chance.
The Nets. The only team that can keep them out is the Nets.
But and that's a big act. And maybe Toronto, but since Toronto just
got rid of their that's it. They might tank all the way to So
yeah, they probably play in for sure, They at least play in.
Now listen to what I'm saying here, This is playoffs. Indiana Pacers are
now in the seventh spot. Are they going to make the playoffs? They
will make the playoffs. They're down the seventh because just remember, Halliburton has
been out for more than seven games already, and that's their start, right,
seven games for the season. He's been out seven games, got hurt.
He's out at least I think they say at least fourteen days because he
got hurt. Yeah right now, yeah, right now, he's day to
day. I think it was just that was a little overreaction. But so
I think they'll make it once he comes back and they start yelling together.
I think I think easy, easy, let's go sling over to the West
Utah Jazz playing right now there ninth position, twenty two and twenty two seventy
three, last ten games playing no you say no, no, really no,
you can because the Rockets in Golden State, once they figure it out,
they can make them run for playing. And you and I both know
you put Steph in a playoff situation, he is going to at least get
you in the playoffs. Is the news flash? Not for sure Golden State
will be in the playoffs. Not for sure to make a cash back,
I don't need to make a cash back all the money. No, I
know you don't think I come through. Well, they're true, I don't
think. That's why I don't want to know the money. I don't know
that's why I want to make the Bakers. I don't think you're gonna come
through. Are you can all the money you can, all the money you
can buy a hat? Yeah, wear bucks hats who use the Rockets playing
right now at eleven them in the they are, But even looking at the
you saying Houston will make the players like Houston Rockets. Are you gonna make
the play You win two or three games and you can be all the way
up. And I'm just saying we can be all the way up to six
off of two game win streak. I'm just saying, looking at it right
now, looking at it right now, So like it's hard to say or
make a decision on something like me because you got so many teams, because
twelve through that's the point of me acting this stuff, because twelve twelve through,
let's say twelve through seven is four games. Four games separates everybody.
It's easy for the Sons to go on another four game, loses Street with
Bills, somebody go down, you know what I mean. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying. If Fox or somebody get hurt, it's easy for
them to go on the four game, lose the Street and Lakers and Rockets
and the Warriors end up six seven, eight, you know what I'm saying.
So, like it'll be a tough race. That's why I'm asking these
questions because even all the way up to the fifth with the Pelicans, Repelicans
can can lose some games in a row, Mavericks can lose some games in
a row. There's not enough consistency in the league across the board to even
make decisions like that, like they used to all that type of stuff,
you know what I mean, Because like the Lakers, think about it.
Last year, the Lakers were lower than this and they ended up in the
Western Conference. Finals off of one trade. That's what I'm asking you again.
Do you think he's Houston Rockets will make the plain? Probably you think
so? Probably? What about the Utah Jazz? He said, he said,
no, one of them is gonna make it in one isn't. And
I got more faith in the Rockets than in Houston. Really, Lakers playing,
I say, I say, playing too playing? Mm hmm, maybe
seven at the most, I think, I think. And I was also
say that I don't think godis they got too many internal problems going on right
now. To be honest with you, I don't think this is the year.
You got too much internal stuff going on. If they had a solid
internal then I'd be like, Okay, I can see them making it.
Too many issues right now. I think I think they'll jump either Draymond or
Minga. I don't think they'll drunk Draymond. I think either Draymond or Kaminga
will go, and or possibly Wiggins. I think the Warriors will make some
noise before the trade deadline because the Laker the Warriors don't lose seasons, they
lose games, and right now the Warriors are looking like the dynasty is over.
Yeah, that's my act I mean, that's why I say it,
because I think they got some internal issues. They got the contract situation with
Klay Thompson backed off. That he's backed off, he's acknowledged that he's not
talking about it any or because he said it on the podium, he said,
I realized that. Yeah, after talking to Steve, Curtry had a
one on one. He was crying blah blah blah blah blah. So like
he had a real light skinned moment. Theorist Klay Thompson, let's cut the
crap here, Okay, So he had a real light skin moment. The
white man talked to you and made you get on down, stand your ground
like Draymond stand your ground? What m hm uh? Really quickly, the
opinions are those of those folking on this and that's how it happened. Is
Steve Kurr white? You do realize players half white? Right? I know
he is light skin Anyways, speaking of Draymond, Green came back recently and
he said during his suspension, he thought about retirement overreaction. Nope, people
think of it. What you mean over I'm talking about overreaction by Draymond people
them. How about you change the way you do. It wasn't a problem
one of the ships. Who Now, when they kicked Lebron in the nuts,
you almost one game suspension, not cut the crap you did. You
did. Let's be one hundred with it right now, because at the end
of the day, because listen, I'm always at the end of the day,
I pushed it. At the end of the day, nobody was sweating
Draymond down when they were winning championships. You're right, a lot of text,
but it wasn't an issue. It wasn't a big issue, like just
being Draymond. He going b the minute the Warriors suck. Now they need
a fall guy. He's and he's their fall guy right now. The way,
don't say because they need they need, they need to escape go for
their losing season this year, and he's the He's there, He's their escapegoat
for the losing season. They're going to use him and blame him when then
you look back five years from now, this is who they're going to say
lost this season for them. This is who they're gonna say broke up their
dynasty. This is who they're going to blame, and it is his fault.
Though at the end of the day. But Draymond got to get ready
for what it is about to come behind this the scrutiny, you know how
much. When they don't make the playoffs this year, they're gonna hang him.
It ain't all his fault, though it is. Let me tell you
whoever was to according that video, that's who fought it is. No,
no, I'm not gonna blame the videoographer for somebody you punched in your teeth
for punching your teammates. But the way they say he would listen the story
I heard for whatever the reason I heard some stories too. The point of
making is this. You got have to be able to control yourself, just
like And that's why I hate social media today because every NBA player that watched
that video said this happens regularly in practices. This ain't the first time.
So the only reason Draymond is getting torched by it because somebody leaked does make
it ring. You know what else is going on a long time ago?
Cocaine. Listen, cocaine and drinking beer and stuff before the game? Is
that cool? Is it? Make it right? Didn't say I was saying
it was right. But at the end of the day, that's in the
organization. When I was in college and we had we was having rough practices
and certain people jopping at the mouth. Guess what they check? Yes you
did. Okay, so if I catch you, but yes, what check?
It's take the air because it's because of the new day and age media.
Back in the day, that would have never happened. Just take the
air. And that's why I said, jan one gotta take that all.
I didn't say exactly. We never knew what exactly. You ain't never seen
that video, but we somebody, somebody wanted that video out. Somebody wanted
to see Draymond go down or or Jordan to go down. One of them
did. They both went down in their own different fool didn't go down.
Off of that, you got traded to the Wizards. That was that was.
That was after they won. If he said, if if you say
after the season, if you say the Jordan Poole, hey we're gonna win
a championship, but you gotta get punched in the faith. You're gonna take
it all right, this dude, you're gonna take it. So I'll say,
are you gonna say, hey, we're gonna win a championship, but
you're gonna get traded to Washington Wizdow, worst team in the league. You
were like, I'm gonna take this, which then they win a championship.
The year before that, they got traded before the season started. You know
what I'm saying. He got they won a championship, and then that all
season got punched in the face, and then they got traded before the season
started. He did not start the season in the Golden Sagan, No what
he did gold Seas uniform after he got punched. Yes, he did.
Remember they were talking about how him and Ramon get along, how they gonna
get along on the court for a long time. He got traded and they
kept Draymond and him wasn't shaking hands when they walked past each other and all
types of crazy stuff. Yeah, and Steph went off and you're right,
yeah he did. On the bench, he went off on So he got
a whole season to get it together, but he did. And then on
top of that, they almost went back to the finals. So I'm gonna
tell you like this, I'm gonna say this. I think if you listen
to Draymond, Draymond is nobody's food. Draymond is looking for the sympathy.
Draymond ain't thought about enough. Dang retirement. He gets twenty five million dollars
a year to show up to work and rebound and talk trash and be a
bad guy. Let me tell you I think he did. Let me tell
you try to get Let me tell you something. I don't think he really
tried. That money that they making the NBA ain't what you think it is.
Once you know pay states get they cut because they pay taxes in every
different state, and they pay an NBA tax and they pay a local tax.
It's still enough. It's just needs to change. But at the end
of the day, their money is made off the court and Dramond is with
the Banana boat Crew. They got investments and they got money here, they
got money there. They got a nice amount of income coming in. Well,
they would never need money again. He doesn't need the NBA money.
That twenty five men from the NBA. At the end of the year,
he probably gets eleven of that, maybe twelve of it. Twelve out of
twenty five. That's rough. And then they probably he probably in that winery
with Braun and Way, which makes I think they making grossing like three hundred
some million a year and that probably so here, here's a bottom line.
So you tell me what that matter to you, and you're getting another thirty
three? Why do you Why do you think they're rich? Day rich?
You don't tell you can think the corners cut him, you better cut him
shot. And I was just talking to my tax guy this morning, like,
hey, I know you know no tack. You know how many people
drink wine. No wine is poppy blue. It's always been everybody talking about
a glass of wine. It's great with Italian food if that's your thing.
But I mean, I don't have again you opening up on our own winery
and what's coming for years? You really get here? You keep this together
by string. You get a prayer. Don't be throwing bottles at each other.
You're d d me listen. I think the person who we're gonna have
to have the fights with, uh so again the minute of his check is
and what he think is supposed to be everybody going down. I think again,
I see you think I said he thinks d mind brought it up for
sympathy. I don't think he was complating talk. Here's why Draymond as much
people hate him. When he talked people listen. I think I know.
I see his podcast numbers. I did. I honestly think he did.
For a minute, was like, you know what, I can't I can't
do this no more. He has the championships, he as an All star.
If you ask the word around the town, he's probably gonna be Hall
of Famer. But the point is I think that he probably he probably did.
He probably did for me, and it was like, you know what,
I'm finna quit. I mean, it's a job. We all at
one point in time, was like I don't want to do this no more.
So he probably did. I just thought maybe it's easier. It probably
was for him to, you know, just wake up every morning and take
his girls to school and come back and work out in peace by himself with
nobody. He was by himself, and remember he didn't touch the ball at
first, so not having to worry about Listen, the being in the league
is a stressful job. Twenty four I'm gonna say eighteen out of twenty four.
All today. Your life is busy because you got advents, you got
NBA, you got team meeting his team, this video, this video,
that appearance. You know what I'm saying. Being at home and him having
no part of the organization at all could make you be like, I can
sit and do this. You ain't gotta do them to sit and chill and
drink wine and pick the kids up from school. Living in California, you
need a consistent check. We keep talking about consistent check. We ain't talking
about that. We're talking about being in the moment of freedom. So you
really think he was gonna consider retire. Yeah, I can see that.
I can see it. I just I was like, isn't a little bit
overreact? Overreacting? Um going on? The Bucks talk? Uh, the
Bucks are interested. According to the Sports Apedia, Draymond's network is about ninety
dollars. It's not a lot. It's a lot for a for an active
player. It's not Lebron money, but it's a lot. I think it's
decent for Draymond. I think it's it's not a lot, though for the
Draymond caliber player. Ninety million is how horrible? How much does he bring
in a year? I mean I don't know about his other money. I
mean, because these money's assets, and you about all this business put together.
I think if you if that's why I said, ninety million is not
a lot. It's not a lot. And he just signed one hundred million
dollar contract which he hasn't gotten yet, so he gotten some of it.
But that's what I'm saying. Got feels That's what I'm saying. It's not
a lot. His lifestyle is not a lot. So the Bucks are in
interested in uh, Javonte Murray among other teams. What do you think of
this of the possible trade and should the Bucks be active in the trade deadline
altogether? Chris Middleton gotta go. I don't think so. But continue,
Who are you trading to get Murray? Who are you training to get Murray?
I'm asking who are you trading to bring him to Milwaukee? To be
honest with you, I thought it was interesting. I do want to.
I feel like it depends on what Atlanta wants for him. I think we
could get a better backcourt coming off the bench. Is he a starter right
now? He is a starter right now? He would be he they probably
would. I think us getting him would move Beasley Malik Beasley to the bench,
which we need. Uh. But and then he with him and when
Crowder comes back, he's but March, Yeah, you said, go to
the bench. If we get Murray. Yeah, why he would have to?
Why what do you mean why why would because he's averaging twenty a game
right now? Who is Murray and BZ leading the league in three point percentage?
Right? That means that's what we need shooters, We need better backcourt.
But has been lights out and playing good D. He he has been
lights out in good D. He's been. We don't need him to come
off the bench. We need Murray to come to play and bring that twenty
because that's what we're struggling at. But if we're putting and bringing it,
if we're getting twenty, if we're getting somebody who's coming in twenty, number,
that's number one. Number two. He's used to starting. He used
to come out the bench. So we do we need better? Do we
need better bench play? Yes or no? Oh? Yes or no?
Do we need better bench play? We need better defense? I'm not gonna
say that's the bigger picture. I'm agay specifically, do we need better bench
play? Don't? Do we need better bitch play? Yes or no?
Thank you? That's my point because you're to muscle. He's young, he's
average of twenty. Now, my thing about this is, like I said,
before, get him, put him in the starting lineup and he and
he big now the defense? It can it can? You know whatever?
But why is he on the market though? Why is he even? I
don't know, honestly, honestly I did. I don't know, And that's
my first thing that came to mind. I don't know why he's on the
market, but I do next to each other. He needs the ball in
his hand and traded too. But I feel like, so you think he's
gonna work in Milwaukee? I think he can go off when Dame off.
We just lost to uh who we lose recently? Damn it? Oh Cleveland.
We just lost to Cleveland, got blue out Gottahn play. But Dame
had like twelve points. So he's you know, a little inconsistency. So
my thing is I do in mind he makes thirty million dollars a year too,
Murray, that's why he hasn't been traded coming. He ain't coming here.
It'd be to me, it would be interesting. I think we should
look into it. I think I think it would be nice to look into
it. So what do you guys think? Well, if that's not the
case, then should we be in a trade market altogether. We gotta get
Chris Why why why his contributions have been minimum this year? The knees,
the knees, I mean, but this my thing. He's a nice guy,
but come on, he's a nice guy. My thing about that is
this. So so if we if you'me about getting rid of Chris Middleton,
who are you trying to get? You don't have to say no, name
a person, what kind of like? Are you looking for a three?
And the guys are looking for Kristin shooter that that can play defensively? Because
what the reason why the Bucks are not going to win a championship is offensively
we're inconsistent. If Giannis don't score forty or fifty, we're not winning,
right Dame Dame. When he comes, he'll have a great game and then
two games three for fifteen. So are we? So are we trading Chris
Middleton for Murray? I don't know, because that's the only way it works
with money wise, because they make around the same amount. But this hear
my think about that they don't play the same position. So let's just say
we did that. It would it would be taking away a position and filling
one in. And I don't think Murray can play small forward. He's either
a s point guard who is a shooting guard. I think he's like six
four six five maybe six six at the best. So so then Atlanta would
have to give up somebody else. Then about about on top of the Murray,
Yeah for christ maybe maybe I just I just don't. I don't.
I don't know if the Bucks should And I do agree with Dre like I
think the Bucks should be in uh for another three and D guy, and
we need to him off the bench. Cameron Payne ain't getting it. Who
else we got off the bench? The same guys we had before, except
for uh, what's his name? What's his name? I know you are
the guy from we traded the Phoenix. Oh uh, Grayson Allen. He
was coming off the bench. He was solid, and he's been shooting horrific
over there and they're sticking it up man, he he he. Well,
we already knew that was coming, so everyody knew that was coming up a
Phoenix. Everybody knew that was coming sulf a Phoenix. But no, Grayson
Allen. I think that, like right now, he's shooting horrible and he's
not getting the looks that he's used to getting though. That's what I think
is going on. He's not getting used to getting the looks and he used
to get. So that's why I'm kind of like, if we do get
somebody, if we do trade Middleton, I need I need to. We
need to trade somebody for his exact body type. Like if we had got
I don't think it would have worked, but I think we need another guy.
And the only people the market right now to me is very uh Slim's
pick slim pickings. I think it's slim pickings. It's very slim, very
slim. My best thing for the Bucks to just get somebody on the buyout
because I would in trade right now, I couldn't. The only person is
on looking on the buyout is PJ. Tucker. He's being linked to he
is laying link to the Milwaukee Bucks. But I don't think that's enough.
Defense though, it's crazy how much we the bench though. It's crazy how
much Drew Holliday did for us defensively. It is crazy, like we're so
bad defensively with just him being gone. It is insane. Now you still
win games though barely barely mean the point the bus what is the barely part
because the Bucks are up the pace. The Bucks are up by twenty,
that's not good enough to win in the game. That scares me because if
I'm up by twenty going into the fourth and you can come back, you're
not worried about it. You're like, we played Sacramento last week and he
shin went to overtime. If we went to overtime, we're about twenty at
some point and they came back in the four, and without that shot,
we lose. We lose at home. But that's what you brought them in
here for. Right, Every every game is not going to be a twenty
point win every game, majority of the games. Because even when even when
when uh over there something even when they go to say Warriors were on their
street, all their games wasn't blowouts. It was some games where step were
hitting those shots HM to get them over the hump. But can you can
you at least agree that if I if your team is up by twenty going
into the four or halfway in the third, the game should be over.
You should win by least ten. In some games where that you collapse.
And there's some games where people start consistent in some games, but they only
it happened consistently in the league. Were in a different league. Now,
you should have the Bucks winning the title. Yes, I'm not talking about
the video game. I'm talking in person, real life. In a seven
game series. I can't see anybody beating them in a seven game I'm not
talking about in a one game here, in the one game there, in
the one game over there. I'm talking about you gotta win four out of
seven. M h Are the Bucks a better team than this year than they
were last year? Yes, because we got some players that can put the
ball in the hoop when we need it, because that was our biggest struggle
last year. It was Drew was so inconsistent on the offensive end. It
was killing us. This would I say to that? This what I say
to that ball? Because they have the scoring power that they have, Drew
can kind of like just do defense and stuff and kind of high high that
high that offensive struggles in Milwaukee. You had to play. He did play
both sides of the ball, but you had to be you had to be
able to score twenty on a consecutive basis. And the injury to Middleton hurt
hurt Drew Holliday more than hurt Gianna's because then when it was Middleton and Yannis
putting at least twenty twenty five, then it was like, oh, okay,
Drew put a fifteen. It's not really that big of a deal.
Woo woo woo. I'm just saying that if I'm up by twenty going into
the fourth or halfway through the third and we don't win by ten, to
me, that's even scarier than what you're talking about as far. And I
get it, it's not gonna happen every game. But let's say we get
a good team like for you know what, for Indiana, who has their
number the season this to talk about season, or a team like Miami who
they're in the sixteed right now because they can slide back to seven if we
play Miami and and we played Miami this Yearmi, I don't know if we
can. I know because Miami plays hard. I believe we can't played hard
and beat Milwaukee. I want to tell you what beat the Bucks last year.
Jimmy Butler that that too, But consistently, we didn't have a consistent
score. Everybody was so inconsistent on the offensive ends it burnt us up.
No matter how good of with d we played because if you because you don't
look, look what happened to us beat up. If you don't have that
superstar that score like a Dame, that can go pound for pound on the
offensive end with another big time player, it's rough because Joanna can score like
Yanna scores in a different ways, consistent hen where to get his. He
knows where to get his. But if you don't have that consistent of the
score, like big time score like a Dame, or like you said,
like a like a Paul George and the Kawhi Leonard. You know what I'm
saying, that second score is rough. We the bus didn't have that.
Nobody was consistent. Graceon Allen was he shot some bull crap up that costs
us a game one game. Drew Holliday was missing every other every nine shots
he hit one. I mean Drew Holliday with what he's supposed to do.
He was getting murdered on the defensive end to the defensis getting rided by.
So at the end of the day, you gotta have a pound for pound
guard to go along with Giannis. Dame is a pound for pound score.
He's so inconsistent though it's a new system, Dre early, you said,
so you're telling me, would you rather if you if you if you any
other team, would you rather play Drew Holliday or would you rather have to
guard Dame? Which one would you rather guard? I rather you would rather
have to guard Dame in the playoffs guarding I rather guard Drew. But what
I'm saying is we talk if we're talking about because that's what the difference is
that because you look at the Bucks roster, nothing changed really, but dang
a lot change a lot like well, I don't think that you lost racing.
We lost, but we picked up Beasley and he shooting the NBA.
How you shoot percentage? NBA? You better put him in a three point
contest on my life. So you know what I'm saying. We actually kind
of won in that deal because we picked up a consistent three point shooter that's
shooting the best in the league right now. So Dre said he thinks we're
having a little buyer to Morris, this is your time to Steven be it
up. I'm not gonna Steven be it up. I just said, I
just think Bucks fans are having some buyers remorse because they realize you need defense.
You need defense to win championships. Now, this also could be us
just being some illusionist because I also want to say this. We'refore and one
against the Patriots. We should have won all those games. But we're also
second in the Eastern Conference. We're only a couple of games behind first place.
There's an argument for both. There's an argument for both. I would
like Dame to be more consistent personally because jan is I don't want him to
be like Kawhi Leonard in a year too, having to play every five games
because he's putting so much pressure on his body, right because he plays hard
every night. It is, but it's taxing on the body. I don't
have remorse I missed Drew. I think he's a better defensive player than Dame.
But you need Dame big shots for the playoffs. So so Bucks are
fine. I think the biggest issue with the Bucks we do need some a
better defensive presence, another consistent score, and our coach is terrible accountability,
accountable. Last Sunday, I think we need to figure out our rotation.
He doesn't know his rotation, and that's what throws the Bucks off more than
anything, because some nights pat might get twenty four minutes when Pat only deserves
a last Sunday against the sacra Yeah, last Sunday against the Sacramento King.
I'm so glad you said that. Camera and pain and Bobby forties falling,
falling, He camp couldn't miss. Bobby had a double double twenty one and
like eleven into the third coach took them out and they played none of the
hat Connington couldn't buy a bucket. That's the game I'm talking about. Couldn't
buy a bucket, and he played the four and overtime. But the defensive
game, I don't Pat don't play no D. He played D but when
he's off he is don't play no D. No better than no. Bobby
portis different positions. Cameron Payne was money, he couldn't miss, and the
coach took him out. But was he letting his management score on him too?
So I think it's hard to say because Dame let people score. In
fact, I saw Dame get punked down by by by Milik Monk bucked them,
bocked him. I was sitting right there, he's the floor America business.
But sitting right there could have been anything ESPN stopped. What do you
mean is that right? What is punk to mean? So he's six six,
he was guarding him and he was hacked? Can know? And Monk
was like me and Dane let go of the defensive assignment. He let it
go like that just happened, Like, yes, he's six, So what
you go out there and you go you hacked some more? Bro? It
was crazy. I just can't but I'm gonna take you. I don't understand.
I'm lost, Like how did he just give up? Like? What
did he do? Like so if I'm guarding Zeke right and ze Man get
off me? Dang what hacking? Did he run? And I don't follow
him? I don't second? Did he switch? Was it a switch?
Go Washington? I'm done. I'm asking you a switch. I don't recover
with switch. But we on our whole road were like that just happened.
So but I will say this Dame for scoring nobody better. We need that
because Joannis needed that, and we had Dame against Miami it wouldn't have been
like that. Yes, yes, yes, but the bucks again, I'm
gonna say this. I'm gonna take a page on a Keys book. I'm
okay, I'm taking page to Aaron Rodgers book. Shout out to Jordan Love
take take a page. Yeah see what I said. You didn't think we
were gonna go there? Oh oh we talking about last week? You missed
out. I want to talk about it. So I'm gonna say it's like
I'm gonna take a page of Aaron Rodgers books. Bucks fans just need to
relax. Y'all overthinking it because don't let don't let up, but relax.
The Bucks are twenty nine and thirteen, right, we are two games away
from being in first place. We have the best player in Giannis. Bucks
are okay. But let's not forget the NBA's about matchups and if we can't
beat the Pacers. Do you keep talking about these Pacers like they just they
beat us, They beat us badly. You watch the games, and I
just explained to you what happens in the playoffs. M don't if you can't
beat nobody in the half court. This is my thing. This is my
thing. We we say. I see what you're saying, and part of
that is true, because if it wasn't true, the Lakers win this guy
as far as they got. Okay, but I do pacers are not that
good and I blame with him for that, but you know why they loss
because you don't change your style to make play with them. You make them
change and adjust to you. He's wanting, and I hate coaches who do
that. He's won and done. If we don't want to Scott adjusting to
the team that you playing, and make a team adjust to you what you
good at, what you're great at. My thing is this, and my
thing is this. When I agree with you, my thing is this.
You can't not well I say this about the Bucks. We are getting beat
by younger, quicker, more athletic teams. That's why we're lose. That's
why we lose to Indiana. That's why we lose to Indiana because they're more
athletic, they're younger. When I've seen every time I think about Indiana,
I think about that step back he had the n Season tournament. You know
who was guarding when he had that step back to kind of ice the game.
Lopez. Lopez is forty with a bad bat. He's me, Yeah,
he needs to go. He's me, I don't think he needs to
go. He the minutes need to be more restricted, Yeah, I don't
think. So. We have a choice. We have a choice. We
don't have a choice. We have a choice. Well, then let go
of the rosters. Like I said before, we need to. I think
we need a better bench. We have what six We got six people on
his roster, and to be honest with you, Bobby is kind of inconsistent.
So we got six people on his roster. Two of them are consistent
and one of them inconsistent enough because he can't win by himself. Giannie can
win by himself. Dame can't do what he can win by hisself. No,
some of these games he can win, but he has one game.
Yeah, I'm saying he can win some of these games by himself. Dame
cannot. The fact that we lost to Cleveland like we did, and Dame
had a bad shooting night. And I see what you're saying, Key,
you can't. You look into the you look at the you look at what's
going on in the season. You're like, this player of time is different.
It is different. I just don't see it being different for the Bucks.
I just don't let me tell you right now what the Bucks he could
do get. What of the family favorites? Who are the family favorites?
You know who the two family favorites. I'm listening, who are call it
out and put some real players in those and stop pulling around with his family
favorites. Who are the family Robin Low, Pezz and the Nazais. How
dare you that is blasphemy? What's his name? We're taking up to the
spots that we really we got four and uh, robber, you can get
about of here four he has to stay. I'm sorry, I don't care
what y'all talking about. Tell y'all, I won't tell you why why they
gotta go to roster spots because this is NBA veterans that ain't even getting playing.
I don't be taking up that spot. Whatever you need to road said
before he got Hey, whatever you need to do to makes happy, that's
fine. Or we just gave him like, dang, your three hundred million
dollars. Is it gonna make Gianna's happy? Because guess what, another team
will pick him up. Oh, don't worry about it, We'll pick you
up. And then picked the other brother up because contract ye just needs one
chap with the Lakers. That was it exactly, because it ain't y'all comment
if y'alls is like, I'm going with my brothers, go you the game
will get picked up. No, don't. I can't believe you said that,
Robin. Fine, he ain't been here long enough. Four. This
is his second Uh. He played with US for like two shirt seasons.
He played with US, yeah last year, not last season, but he
played with US. He played US before he played with US. He this
is his second stint. But nobody wants him. He cares about him.
He doesn't any clocks, so we don't know what he can do. We
know he can he can do nothing. He can wrestle mascots exactly. So
he's entertaining. But you know, I can't believe I said it about four.
Who's gonna pick Yanna's nose? Who's gonna hype him up? What's wrong
with y'all? Nah? Nah? You need him on a bitch, You
need him on the bench. I need him, I need him getting flops.
I need him hyping the crowder. We all know why. While he
here, he had the greatest hold me back moment ever though, oh man,
the greatest hold me back ever. When he thought GANI was getting into
a fight, he tried to run off the fish. That was the greatest
hold me back ever. I can't believe this anyways, So it's been another
