No topics off limits, 26 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:54.480 especially here on the San Antonio Spurs Weekly podcast and 27 00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:56.640 the topic this week, we're going to continue to talk 28 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.159 about some of these trade rumors, and I'm not gonna 29 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.000 call them out landish trade rumors because they're starting to 30 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.560 look like they could really happen. Last week we talked 31 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.719 about the Gianas thing where if San Antonio kind of 32 00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.400 unloaded the boat, this would possibly happen here in San Antonio. 33 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.680 But I also talked to a guy in Milwaukee about 34 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.439 where he is really going to go. We're not going 35 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.639 to share that on this episode. Talk about baiting you 36 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.800 in and throwing you back out into the ocean, right. 37 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:26.919 We'll talk about that on a later show as well. 38 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.960 Where Giannis really could be going other than San Antonio. 39 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.960 But there's some interesting names being thrown out there in 40 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.000 the trade world. We'll talk about one or two of 41 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:36.919 them on the show today. We're going to talk a 42 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.919 little bit of the NBA playoff action now. Of course, 43 00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.240 when we're recording this show on a Monday, it is 44 00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.000 pre recorded, And I just want you guys to know 45 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.759 that we don't know all the information when it comes 46 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.840 to who wins in the playoffs. Right now, we just 47 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.039 watched Game five of the Eastern Conference Finals, where the 48 00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.879 New York Knicks have now closed the gap the three. 49 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.400 We'll talk about that a little bit here in a moment. 50 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.159 And who's the better opponent for Oklahoma City when it 51 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.800 comes to the NBA Finals? Is Oklahoma City just gonna 52 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.800 run Rockshaw and take whatever team? Kind of looks that way? 53 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.360 And I know Spurs fans, we don't like saying that. 54 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.599 I know, I know, And today you're really not gonna 55 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.319 like the show. Hey listen, no topics off limits. Remember 56 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.680 we may be Homers, but we got to remember where 57 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.520 we came from. Today on the show, we're gonna have 58 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:30.680 a little bit of fun too. Taking a look at 59 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.840 what the Internet says about the top fifteen players in 60 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.520 NBA history for the San Antonio Spurs. Do you believe 61 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:40.639 that some of these should be on the list? Off 62 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.479 the list? Who's on your list? You can actually comment 63 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.439 with us on YouTube. You can go to SA Spurs 64 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:51.439 Weekly WKD comment on any of those videos and let 65 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.120 us know who your top fifteen are. We'll probably have 66 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.520 a new short up very shortly, no pun intended, and 67 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.039 we'll love to have your guys camaraderie in that section. 68 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.719 We're also going to talk about the best San Antonio 69 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.960 Spurs team of NBA all time, what that never made 70 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.479 it to the NBA finals. We're gonna talk about the 71 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.519 best Spurs team of all time that never made it 72 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.759 to the NBA finals. Spurs fans, do you know who 73 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.439 that is? I'm gonna I'm gonna let I'm gonna let 74 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.240 you let that kind of marinate right there for you 75 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.360 and yours before we get into the show. But we 76 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.600 got a lot to get to here today. We're gonna 77 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.399 try to make this a quick, painless and kind of 78 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.639 have that really nice flow of offense going here today. 79 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.879 But let's talk a little bit about the NBA playoffs. Currently, 80 00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.560 the New York Knicks have closed that gap to three 81 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.639 games to two. It looked like the Indiana Pacers were 82 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.120 gonna run away with this. We predicted the Pacers to 83 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:51.000 win in seven games. And I guarantee you after the 84 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.759 other night's loss in New York, Indiana does not want 85 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.399 to go back to New York for Game seven. They 86 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.839 do not want to go back to New York. That 87 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.160 let's call them the fifteenth or sixteenth man. Those fans 88 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.720 in New York are brutal, baby, and they came out 89 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.800 and so did the Knicks. So where does this leave Indiana. 90 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.120 Their backs are against the wall. They need to win 91 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.879 game six. They need to win Game six. But let's 92 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.959 talk about NBA conspiracies. Everybody's saying the league is rigged right, Well, 93 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.399 now we want to extend the NBA playoffs just a 94 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.800 little bit more and get a little bit more AD revenue. 95 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.680 Let's kind of go back on the script here. A 96 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.040 lot of you guys are saying, where the New York Knicks, 97 00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:37.720 of course, are going to. 98 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.000 Win Game six. It's gotta go game seven so. 99 00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.399 Everybody can watch. We haven't had a interesting, fun filled 100 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.639 game seven throughout any of these playoffs. Let's be honest, 101 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:54.120 Oklahoma City has run Rockshoff all over everybody. Oklahoma City 102 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:59.279 right now, Spurs fans, I know you hate, this is 103 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:01.759 definitely the best team in the NBA, and one of 104 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.120 the best I've seen in a long time. They have 105 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.800 two thirty point plus scores a night, and that is 106 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:09.240 tough to beat. And that's what the Spurs are trying 107 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.240 to go for here in San Antonio. Wemby could be 108 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:17.079 that guy. Who's the next guy who's another twenty to 109 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.600 thirty point scorer for the Spurs. We're still trying to 110 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.560 find that, and that's why we're so excited here in 111 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.120 the city. And I believe we got to trust the process. 112 00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:29.800 Oklahoma City did. Oklahoma City trusted the process. Their general 113 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.399 management staff went out there and made some trades, made 114 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:36.319 some amazing deals, and now they're sitting pretty for many, 115 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.639 many years to come. So that kind of leads to 116 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.879 our trade talk here. In a few moments, do we 117 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.240 go out and just grab somebody because we want to 118 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.560 be in contention right now. We talk about this every week, 119 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:50.759 and I just kind of feel like we're beating a 120 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.680 dead horse. All of us San Antonio Spurs fan podcasters 121 00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.000 are doing this. I'm a big believer in trusting the process. 122 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:00.399 Us. 123 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.120 Let's make the playoffs next year, Let's get a five 124 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.240 or four seed, Let's shock somebody in the first round 125 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.199 of the playoffs. But I believe your next dynasty right 126 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:17.800 now is okay. See question is can they hold this 127 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.800 team together next year? I was telling my son, you 128 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.000 tend to see this in sports with a lot of 129 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.319 young players these days, where you get your ring early 130 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.480 and now it's time to go make your money. What 131 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.360 if you get hurt in the offseason. What if you 132 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.639 get hurt in practice and you lose that contract, and 133 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.800 now you know, you become somebody like Greg Odin in 134 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:41.439 the past, where you're the number one pick in the 135 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:44.079 NBA draft, you get hurt and you lose. 136 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:44.560 All that money. 137 00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.600 You want to set your family up for many, many 138 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.439 years to come right. So these younger players are doing 139 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.519 just that. They're starting to go to greener pastors after 140 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.319 they wing that win that golden ring. So can Oklahoma 141 00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.279 City keep it together? A lot of great storylines leading 142 00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:04.199 up to next year and we ain't even done with 143 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:08.360 this year. That leads me to the Knicks and Pacers. 144 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:15.720 What team can contend with OKC? OKC runs pretty deep 145 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.240 on their bench, They've got a really good defense, Alex 146 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.639 Caruso has been a beast, and Alex Caruso might be 147 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.040 one of those key parts too. You see I win 148 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.759 a ring, I'll go elsewhere. And he's a great player 149 00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.840 to kind of add to teams that need a specialty 150 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.320 player like him. He knows his worth. He's been with 151 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.799 many teams. He could be one of those elite players 152 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:43.840 in the NBA if he wanted to, but he's becoming 153 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.559 one of those. He reminds me of a Bruce Bowen type, 154 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.200 somebody that could score the ball, play defense, and lead 155 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.039 the team while certain players are sitting the bench and 156 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:57.960 getting their breath. Okac seems to have it together. They 157 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:05.519 run very deep with both Jalen, both Williams, guys Sga Caruso, Chet, 158 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.200 Holmgren and Chets really haven't had a great playoff run. 159 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:14.879 Chet may grab his ring and may get traded. It's 160 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.120 just an interesting scenario, Okac. Are they going to be 161 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.679 a one hit wonder? Are there going to be a dynasty? 162 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.080 I think they're in a really good position. 163 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:26.799 That's like the Spurs. The Spurs look like. 164 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.600 A young OKC team and Spurs fans kind of rest 165 00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:30.919 on that. 166 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:32.559 Rest on that. 167 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:34.039 Now, who matches up. 168 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.039 With Oka se New York. 169 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.559 As Charles Barkley said, He said the Knicks will go 170 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:44.039 as far as only as Jalen Brunson can go. Jalen 171 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.559 Brunson gets forty to fifty at night, it's over Nick's 172 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.039 will win. But the moment he hits thirty or less, 173 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.840 who else is scoring. Michael Bridges has had a eh 174 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.679 ah playoff after what he did to the Spurs on 175 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.840 Christmas Day, you think he would be the breakout player. 176 00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:03.159 You would think that a player that was traded for 177 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.600 five draft picks from the Brooklyn Nets. That's a pretty 178 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.919 that's a pretty big trade that you would think you 179 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.639 would be more of a load carrier on that team. 180 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.480 I'm not impressed with cat guys. I'm sorry. Maybe I'm 181 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.879 a cat hater. I don't know. You know, I'll take 182 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.519 an antoine car dog any day. You see what I 183 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:25.840 did there? 184 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.919 Cat and dog. Yeah, sometimes we do that on the show. 185 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:35.840 Dad Jokes galore. But Carl Anthony Towns is the softest. 186 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.759 Player of the NBA. 187 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.639 Every time he goes up for a shot or goes 188 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.480 through the lane, he wants a foul. Dude, you're seven 189 00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:48.440 foot something almost three hundred pounds. Shut up, just stop, 190 00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:55.759 just stop stop being zesty. As the kids today would say, stop. 191 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:00.559 Then you see people complain like a like a Josh Hart. 192 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.039 This guy is a knit and gritty guy. He kind 193 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.080 of reminds me of the Alex Caruso, and I like 194 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.960 what the Knicks did by bringing him off the bench. 195 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.440 Now he's a spark plug. 196 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:14.039 But stop crying for every call, stop and just play 197 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:17.519 the damn game. If you played the game that your 198 00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.440 coach put before you and you stuck to that game plan, 199 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.879 I guarantee you won't have to worry about the refs 200 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.679 or anybody else. It's basic coaching. It's one oh one 201 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.720 basketball play. But because they start getting these egos, they 202 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:36.120 think that they can kind of push the narrative a 203 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.759 little bit. Who else is going to do it for 204 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.120 the Knicks? Say it is Brunson and Cat and they 205 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:46.919 have an amazing NBA Finals. Let's just say that, who's 206 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.480 your third or fourth guy to really hold down the four? 207 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.679 The Knicks bench is starting to play decent. When Brunson 208 00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:59.120 goes to the bench, Kat goes to the bench, it 209 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.240 seems like the the bench is like, all right, we 210 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.120 need to step this up now. But is it little 211 00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:07.559 too late for New York? Say Indiana makes the NBA Finals, 212 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:12.840 same kind of situation, We saw it with Halliburton in 213 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.360 game four, he was a monster triple double, thirty plus points, 214 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:21.759 seventeen I believe assists no turnovers. That's putting you in 215 00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.360 legend status there. And this dude's still young, twenty four 216 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.399 to twenty five years old. But then when you come 217 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:29.639 back into game five and give us what you gave us, 218 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:34.399 that is not super star potential, that's just star potential. 219 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.960 You're not in that upper echelon just yet. Will this 220 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:42.799 be fuel to fire? And like I said, when we 221 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.840 do this show, we are recording it early. Indiana may 222 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:51.200 be advancing to the finals already, but Indiana needs to 223 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:57.279 win game six, Game seven in New York. Man, oh man, 224 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.559 get your popcorn ready if that has happened or will happen. 225 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.879 But who's gonna produce for Indiana outside of Haliburt Siakam? 226 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.799 Siakam's another one of those players up and down. You 227 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:17.679 would have thought it would have been somebody like nim 228 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:22.600 Hard or Miles Turner. But Miles Turner's been that player 229 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.799 his whole career. One night it's twenty five points, one 230 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.799 night it's seventeen. He gets in foul trouble. Indiana's got 231 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.639 a cast to characters. The one thing I told my 232 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:35.120 son there usually is one player that can carry that 233 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:40.759 team every night. The disappointment has been Mathrin. Mathren has 234 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:44.080 been a disappointment. Every time he gets the ball too. 235 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.159 He thinks he's fouled. 236 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.279 Just just play the damn game. So who favors against Okac? 237 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:59.000 I would love to see an sea, but they's see 238 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:03.600 OKAC winging five. I would love to see Indiana coach 239 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:05.960 because the fact they're the underdog. They have been there 240 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:10.200 in all it's their time. They've lost two Eastern Conference finals. 241 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.679 It's their time to at least get to that next step. 242 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:17.240 And in Halliburton's young career, he could establish himself to 243 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.559 being one of the Indiana greats. They lose this year, 244 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.279 they come back next year, putting some players around him, 245 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:25.279 maybe a Yanas. 246 00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.000 I don't know. 247 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:29.320 Yanas doesn't want to leave the East now. From what 248 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:35.480 we've heard out of Milwaukee sources, very interesting setup to 249 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.600 the NBA season. To close out this season and to 250 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:42.320 start next season. I believe it's still Indiana going to 251 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:47.759 the finals versus OKC. And if that's the case, OKC 252 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:51.159 in five Okac. 253 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.519 Will bring the ring home to Oklahoma. 254 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.639 City applause for you OKC fans out there taking a 255 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:05.799 listen today. Let's get right into the trade talks here 256 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:16.200 in San Antonio. Let's go trade talks galore here in 257 00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.919 San Antonio over the last couple of weeks, and we've 258 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.519 been trying to be on top of him, and some 259 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:23.039 of those other great podcasters out there as well have 260 00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.000 been doing the same thing. Like our baseline bums, what's 261 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.840 up to you guys out there? TSR Sports on YouTube 262 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.480 as well have been doing a great job following up 263 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.559 on what's going on here in San Antonio. With the 264 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.639 trade talks was hot and heavy with giannasaka Patubo. We 265 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.879 found out that Chris Paul will not be re signing 266 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.559 with the San Antonio Spurs. We kind of felt that, 267 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:45.840 and if you're a Spurs fan, you saw that at 268 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.039 the beginning of the year, signing him to a one 269 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.000 year deal, helping out wemby a little bit, helping out 270 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:55.759 some of the crew, and his knowledge was basically paid 271 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.720 for for that one year. It's almost like bringing in 272 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:01.039 somebody to your business that knows how to make your 273 00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:03.440 business grow and you have them do a bunch of 274 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.759 conferences and sit down in a room full of people 275 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.279 and you hash out ideas, this is what Chris Paul 276 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:11.840 was hired for. A lot of us get caught up 277 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.440 in wanting to see people stick around. 278 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:15.240 Now. 279 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.960 The scary part of this spurs fans, especially in our conference. 280 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:21.519 Right now, it's rumored that Chris Paul is going to 281 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.000 go to the Dallas Mavericks. Can you imagine what he's 282 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:28.080 going to do with Cooper Flag? Can you imagine, you know, 283 00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:30.960 with Kyrie out right now, he's a perfect piece to 284 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:35.639 that puzzle to kind of keep Dallas in contention until 285 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:39.519 about January or February when Kyrie comes back. So what 286 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:41.519 does that do for Chris Paul? Does he sign another 287 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.240 one year contract or does he go back to Charlotte 288 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.440 Is the one thing that's being thrown up in the 289 00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:50.879 air right now. Whatever happens in Chris Paul's life right now, 290 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.120 we really do want to give him a big round 291 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.360 of applause as well for what he's done in San Antonio. 292 00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.279 A one year impact. 293 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.319 Really boosted our morale on the team and also boosted 294 00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.119 the fans again. Only winning nineteen games in twenty one 295 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.039 games and now winning thirty plus this past year. This 296 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.920 is a positive and I know what you're taking. No, 297 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:15.519 Chris Paul's going, we ain't gonna do that. Dearon Fox, 298 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:20.440 is there, guys? Deeron Fox was on a subpar King's 299 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.720 team his whole career, right around that thirty eight forty 300 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.039 win mark. You know, they were pushing playoffs throughout his career, 301 00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.480 but he didn't have a dominant player like Victor Winmbinama. 302 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.160 He didn't have a young core like a Devin Vaselle. 303 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.039 And now I know these guys may not be here 304 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:37.000 if there's a big trade about to happen here in 305 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.599 San Antonio. But there's so much positive vibes here. I've 306 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:46.400 watched some clips on Dylan Harper. I mean, you even 307 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:48.519 got legends saying he's possibly going to be a Hall 308 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.440 of Famer, so stick and stated of the course, I say, 309 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.079 But some of the biggest rumors right here. Kevin Durant 310 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:57.880 has now stirred up in the mix here in San Antonio. 311 00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.960 Again, I've seen a. 312 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:02.200 Lot of your tweets out there, really interesting tweet, and 313 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.640 Kevin Durant blasted back on one of the gentlemen not 314 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.160 here from San Antonio. But is he a top fifteen player? 315 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:13.119 Spurs fans, not in Spurs organization history if he gets hired. 316 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.119 But is he a top fifteen player all time in 317 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.960 the NBA? Some people say, well, because he went to 318 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:21.759 five different teams, or if he's going to come here 319 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:23.839 to San Antonio and another team, No, it's not. 320 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.640 Hold on, let's pump the brakes. Pump the brakes. 321 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.400 Today's alleged goat for some of you, Lebron James, who's 322 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.039 on the mount rushmore. Of course, my eleven year old 323 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.279 son brought up something. Lebron James has been with four 324 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.799 different teams, Ben with Cleveland twice, twice, LA and Miami. 325 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.359 He's been traded four times, and you can't say, oh, 326 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.799 Cleveland Cones is one team. No, those are two different teams. 327 00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:57.839 He had a different team younger in his career, and 328 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:01.240 then he had the other team with Kyrie, So those 329 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.599 are two different teams. Technically, is Lebron not in your 330 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.640 top fifteen? Hell, some of y'all continue to argue that 331 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.559 he's the goat above Michael, why are we laughing? 332 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:12.720 I don't know. 333 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:16.200 I can't tell where Jordan fans on this show, right, 334 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:20.519 But to be perfectly honest with you, think about that 335 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:25.400 is Kevin Durant your top fifteen? I love Katie. I 336 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.240 loved Katie, not just because you know, my name's Katie 337 00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.559 and I'm older and I had the name first. But 338 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:33.799 I'm not going to copyrite it, you know, Kevin, I'm 339 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:35.759 not going to come after you or anything. But I'd 340 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:37.680 love to have a Katie versus Katie show if you 341 00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:39.400 come to San Antonio. I think we could do that 342 00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:41.480 here on the podcast as well. You know, you know, 343 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.759 hook a white e. That's all I'm asking as well. 344 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.680 But it's interesting. Is he top fifteen material in the NBA? 345 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:54.039 How about this one? For a barn burner conspiracy theory? 346 00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:59.799 Kevin Durant is Camaro Carmelo Anthony with a few rings. 347 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:04.920 Wh I throw that out there? I want to throw that. 348 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:07.000 I'm not saying that, Kevin. I know you're like, man, 349 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.519 I'm listening this guy. I want to come on a show, 350 00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:10.640 But now I don't. No, no, no, no no, I'm just 351 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:13.119 I'm starting a conspiracy theory. What do you guys think 352 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:20.400 about that? Is Kevin Durant a Carmelo Anthony with the rings? 353 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.640 Carmelo tried to chase the ring went to La Denver 354 00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:30.160 New York. He chased because when you get toward the 355 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:31.359 end of your career, that's what you want. 356 00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:32.079 You want that ring. 357 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:35.960 Kevin, I'm sure wants to add another one. I think 358 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.160 he sees with san Antonio they possibly could be that 359 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:43.559 next superpower. Can you imagine the knowledge that Wemby would 360 00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:48.759 develop having Paul last year and now somebody like Kevin 361 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.039 coming in. These are some other rumors, some other rumors 362 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:55.160 for san Antonio right now, they're definitely actively seeking a 363 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.759 trade for a wing They want another wing player. We've 364 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:01.799 talked about some of the wing players out there, some 365 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:04.039 of y'all are throwing out there. Jalen Brown, I just 366 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.079 don't think his attitude fits san Antonio. Jalen Brown reminds 367 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:11.279 me of another Stephen Jackson. Steven Jackson did win a 368 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.559 title with us, though, but his attitude we don't I 369 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:16.799 think would only fit here for like two three years. 370 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.960 We'll take a little bit more a look at the 371 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.039 trade rumor mill here in weeks to come on the 372 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.680 show as well, so make sure you stick around for that. 373 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:30.079 But let's get right into our next segment with the 374 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.720 greatest San Antonio Spurs team that never made it. 375 00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:39.720 Everybody knows, somebody didn't know, somebody didn't know something about it. 376 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:48.440 But I won't have now way. So let's go. What 377 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:54.079 was the greatest San Antonio Spurs team that never made 378 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:58.440 the NBA finals? Spurs fans that are really young, I 379 00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:01.119 don't know if you know this one, US older fans, 380 00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:03.599 This one actually shocked me. I did a little bit 381 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.680 of kind of research on this one. We had a 382 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:14.720 great team in the Oklahoma City Thunder actually took us 383 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:20.480 out in the Western Conference Finals in six games. Is 384 00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:22.680 this a prelude to what's going to happen with this 385 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.960 year's OKC team. I don't know. 386 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:27.160 I'm not a prophet. 387 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.920 I'm just here to give you some fun NBA talk. 388 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:35.079 I'm not here to make predictions. But it's ironic that 389 00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:38.480 I kind of said Okcity. 390 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:38.559 Is gonna win it all. 391 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:40.400 And now we're talking about the team that de thrilled 392 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.319 the Spurs. And here, can you name it? On the 393 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.000 count of three, maybe you already have on the count 394 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:50.519 of three, three, two and one, the greatest San Antonio 395 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:55.200 Spurs team that never won the NBA title was the 396 00:22:55.319 --> 00:23:01.319 twenty fifteen twenty sixteen Spurs. I was shocked at this 397 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:07.119 sixty seven wins that year, and the top that off 398 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.240 Spurs fans. They tied the Celtics for the most home wins. 399 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:12.359 In the history of the NBA. 400 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:17.160 Did you know that forty wins at home? Forty and 401 00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.400
