1
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:16,199
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to yet another

2
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,839
trade deadline live stream. Yet another pillar of Clippers basketball

3
00:00:20,879 --> 00:00:22,839
has been traded. Adam, I don't know if you saw,

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,719
but the Clippers traded a Viza zubats Uh to the

5
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,479
Indiana Pacers. So we have another right now. Adam is

6
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,119
learning about this for the first time.

7
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: Shit, I gotta go.

8
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: No, thank you for hanging out. We're gonna put this out.

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,679
His audio for the Clips and Dip audio only listeners.

10
00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:47,840
I'm Chuck Buckler, joined by Adam Oslin and William Updyke. Guys,

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,640
how are we doing? Will How are you feeling now

12
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:56,560
that the team has a pretty damn near totally new

13
00:00:56,719 --> 00:00:59,359
look and feel to it.

14
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: It's been man, confused, conflicted. Ah, it's tough.

15
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: Those are Clipper fan emotions. Yeah, it's tough.

16
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:14,239
Speaker 1: And obviously when I saw the news, you're just like, okay, great,

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,079
like shops, give us some details, Like let's not just

18
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:22,159
say that he's been traded, Let's get some details. But

19
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:25,640
I like how it I think the Clippers came out.

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,799
I'm not gonna say one the trade because that's not

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,319
how any of this really works. But I like where

22
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,599
the Clippers are after the Zoo trade, Adam, I don't

23
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:36,079
know if you've talked about it today. How did you

24
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:37,200
feel about the Zoo Trade?

25
00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: I felt better before I woke up from this nap

26
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:45,879
I just took. I had to stream it for far

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,439
too long.

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,319
Speaker 3: I don't know.

29
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: It's kind of hitting me, like it's just so bizarre.

30
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,640
It surreal of eats his snow blots in a different uniform,

31
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,599
the longest tenured Clipper. I don't even remember him as

32
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:58,599
a Laker at this point. He's been with the Clippers

33
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:01,480
for so long. He's you know, he was mister Clipper,

34
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,439
Like he was a guy that we defended so much

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,239
on on this show. We talked about so much, and

36
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,479
he was my favorite Clipper, so I am. It is

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,719
an emotional trade, absolutely that at some point, but I'm

38
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,039
not there yet, especially if the news of him just

39
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560
becoming a father. There's just so much wrapped up with

40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,919
it hard it's like it's too much. It's century overload

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,080
right now. It's a lot.

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,599
Speaker 4: It's it's interesting because you know, like it's not necessarily

43
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,439
something new over the past decade or so of being

44
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:39,240
a Clipper fan, like seeing uh Stoorewards store wars of

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,840
the franchise be traded away. But like a lot of times,

46
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,719
it's very different in that things have seemingly like run

47
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:47,319
their course.

48
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: You know.

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,199
Speaker 4: Certainly with the Chris Paul thing, you know, that felt

50
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,159
very like amicable in the way we were able to

51
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:56,560
do it. I know that the Blake Griffin thing, he

52
00:02:56,599 --> 00:02:59,439
didn't quite feel as though it was as amicable. But

53
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,840
like given the return, like if you're on the other

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,240
line of that call when Detroit is offering.

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,759
Speaker 3: You that, and you've seen where this team has been, and.

56
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,159
Speaker 4: You know, Blake had his injury struggles and like they

57
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:12,919
just kind of like been in kind of a bit

58
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,199
of a little bit of a middling period. It's kind

59
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:17,599
of like that one even as a fan, you know,

60
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,479
like it was really tough, but it was kind of like, man,

61
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,280
this just makes so much damn sense.

62
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

63
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: Obviously, like Paul George, you know that one we we

64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,680
we all saw kind of coming.

65
00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:29,319
Speaker 1: A mile away was one of those that was one

66
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:29,919
of the vibe.

67
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: Man.

68
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like even Harden, it's like, okay, like

69
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:37,199
that that one was a little tough, but you know,

70
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:37,800
you get it.

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: You you get it from his side. Uh.

72
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: And certainly you know, I can understand it for for

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,759
for both sides in the in the Zoo sense too,

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,240
but it just felt like, and we've talked so much

75
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,159
about you know, anything could happen at the trade deadline,

76
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,439
but you would think that Zoo being the only player

77
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,199
on the books in this like next era, that this

78
00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:59,120
that this organization has said that they're you know, focusing

79
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:00,680
on and and looking at.

80
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: Uh. It just feels so much different.

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: In a way than than any of these other ones,

82
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,879
you know, even the Shade trade. You know, like he

83
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,960
like at the time, he only had one season under

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,759
his belt. It was just like a very different situation.

85
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:17,519
We had grown accustomed and attached to him, but like

86
00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:20,000
you know, it was a shorter amount of time. Here

87
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,000
you have the longest tenured Clipper you have you know,

88
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,279
like a yeah, and a guy that like we really

89
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:30,480
saw like grow and develop. I mean, like he's got

90
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,160
to be the biggest win of the Clippers like developmental team.

91
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:38,040
Uh you know, I mean you could you could toss

92
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,199
a hat in for Terrence or something as well. But

93
00:04:40,319 --> 00:04:42,959
like Zeus, like I mean he went to being like

94
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,120
a you know, a potential why like he you know,

95
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,040
he's talks about is like one of the best centers

96
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,959
in the league is like a traditional sort of center.

97
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,959
Speaker 3: Like it's just it just feels so different.

98
00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know it was it hit me with the like, oh,

99
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,720
we're firmly like the new eras we knew that it

100
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:03,480
was coming, and then the new era was like, it's

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,800
actually here on Wednesday and Thursday, so I still hear

102
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,199
which I'm sure we're going to talk about. I was

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,879
a little surprised, I guess, just after seeing Zoo and

104
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,319
Hard get traded. But the way that the whole trade

105
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:22,000
deadline shook out out James Harden, it beats the Zobots,

106
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,199
Kobe Brown and Chris paul In, Darius Garland, Benedic mcthurin,

107
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:31,639
Isaiah Jackson, twenty twenty six first round protected one through four,

108
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,839
and ten through thirty. If it doesn't convey, then we

109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,079
get a twenty thirty one unprotected first round pick from

110
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:42,519
the Pacers, twenty twenty six second round pick, twenty twenty

111
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:45,079
eight second round pick, and then the twenty twenty nine

112
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,879
unprotected first round pick. If you are not a fan

113
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:53,639
of Lawrence Frank, this is a pretty damn good trade

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,720
deadline for that.

115
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 4: I mean unless the Clippers slip out of the play

116
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,240
in and that pick doesn't convey this year and then.

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: But even then it's unprotected when the Pacers are probably

118
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,040
gonna be not as good. Yeah, it would be annoying.

119
00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: I will agree, It's very better than it bumping to

120
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,079
twenty twenty seven and taking that pick from them instead

121
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:18,279
when they're gonna be good that season. I'm guessing he

122
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:20,639
had to fight for that. They probably wanted to bump

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,639
to twenty twenty seven. He said, no, we want twenty

124
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,920
twenty six, and they were able to compromise on the pick.

125
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:27,079
On the pick protections.

126
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: That's a good call because if the Pacers, yeah, say

127
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,560
they get picked one through four where it's protected, and

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,279
they got Haliburton coming back, they have Zoo now, like

129
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,160
Zoo has.

130
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,399
Speaker 4: The opportunity to like help this franchise in a way

131
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,360
that I can't think of any other player. We'd have

132
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:49,759
to have a damn parade for him.

133
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 3: Five.

134
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, this would if the Clippers end up getting five

135
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,279
through nine. Granted by I am not a draft an

136
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:03,480
NBA draft guy, but everything that is out there is

137
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,319
saying that this is a deep draft. It's a very

138
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,560
good draft. Whatever you want.

139
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 4: Supposedly this one's good, next year's bunk. The year after

140
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,519
is too early to tell. So it's like, I mean, you.

141
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:19,199
Speaker 2: Know, there's five, Like five is about right. Like, if

142
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,360
you get a top five pick in this draft, you

143
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,000
have a real chance of getting a franchise guy, and the.

144
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Clippers are also going to be in position to be

145
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,079
developing that guy because the roster, you know, like the

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,759
roster is what it is. It's not exactly I don't

147
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,720
think we're going to be competing for a championship next

148
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:41,480
year necessarily, so they will have a chance to develop

149
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:49,120
that year necessarily. Hey, you know, yeah, the protect it

150
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,120
was difficult to kind of like when I saw the protection,

151
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:53,639
I can't remember the last time a pick was double

152
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,839
protected like this. I'm sure it's happened in the last

153
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,759
ten years.

154
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,199
Speaker 2: They bracketed it.

155
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: They did legit. The only whoa of what do the

156
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,319
Clippers do at backup center has now been replaced with

157
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:09,720
well ship, what do they do at the starting the

158
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,439
starting Yeah? Man, the rest of the season is going

159
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:15,920
to be interesting.

160
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:18,399
Speaker 2: Hey, this says they like Jonnick, Right.

161
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good call. Does it I think it does.

162
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:28,480
I'm hoping it does. I think one thing that's.

163
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: Point to read between those tea leaves man, did.

164
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,399
Speaker 1: You guys see the quotes from Altman about Darius Garland

165
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:44,360
and his come return to play trajectory. I know, uh,

166
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,919
Darius Garland said sorry so sorry. Altman said that Garland

167
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,120
was on a return to play proto call from his

168
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,360
current toe injury before the trade. He was getting over that.

169
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,320
He was in your return to play protocol, so he

170
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,240
wasn't far away.

171
00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: So that's the last night. He just was waiting for

172
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:04,000
the green light. He's been doing the workouts. He feels good,

173
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:04,720
he's ready to hoop.

174
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:05,879
Speaker 1: I think, yeah.

175
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: Well, and you can't imagine that they would.

176
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 4: You can't imagine that they would make this move if

177
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,679
it was unclear in the in the physicals. I mean maybe,

178
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,039
like maybe, I don't know, do you still make the

179
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,720
move if you think he's gonna be shut down the

180
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,039
rest of the year or a significant time of the season,

181
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:25,159
Because I don't know that they do necessarily unless you're

182
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,960
really really high on Garland, which could be possible to

183
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,879
But if you knew that he was going to be

184
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:34,200
missing significantly more time, I do wonder if that changes

185
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,240
the calculus at all. It is still a much younger

186
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:39,840
all star, you know, with with high some high ceiling

187
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,080
potential and longevity there. But you know, clearly the medicals

188
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,159
were good enough for them to not be scared off

189
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:47,639
of the deal.

190
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

191
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,639
Speaker 2: I mean, if if it was a difference between waiting

192
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,519
longer on Garland or James. Harden is upset now because

193
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:03,679
you didn't him. I guess you make the move for him, right,

194
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,720
I'm anticipating in back sooner and later. He's out tomorrow

195
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:10,799
against Sacramento. But it still sounds like the trade is

196
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,120
not still official official. He's out because traded in Breentes.

197
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, trade pending or something like that. Wait we just

198
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,039
got him, yeah yeah, like perfect. Well the other so

199
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:25,120
kind of in conjunction, like with what Will was saying about,

200
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,840
like the physicals must be okay and you don't think

201
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:29,200
you take the risk. The trade seems like it was

202
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,720
in the works a little longer then maybe we were

203
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:36,519
led to believe, right, Like Darius J. Said he knew

204
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:38,480
the trade between the Clippers and Kaffean, who was coming

205
00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:41,240
in the recent days. Altman said Harden had been eyeing

206
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,759
them for weeks. That's what he said, so like and just.

207
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,639
Speaker 4: Given the Clippers history. Like you know, we talked about

208
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:52,360
this obviously when the trade first happened. You don't get

209
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:56,480
a player like this, this young, of this potential caliber

210
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
with two All Star appearances if there's not some question,

211
00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:04,639
of course, but I would think given their history, like

212
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:09,559
sort of injury history, you know, and looking towards the future,

213
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:13,000
you know, not necessarily prioritizing the current timeline we're on,

214
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,679
you wouldn't go for anything.

215
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: That's too fishy or too big of a question mark.

216
00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: If he's wearing a Riddler suit, they're probably not making

217
00:11:23,879 --> 00:11:24,440
the move.

218
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: That was so crazy and now we kind of turned. Uh,

219
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,519
Joseph Fryward is calling me so Joseph, if you're watching

220
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:37,320
the stream, just put something in the chat and we'll

221
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,039
send you the link.

222
00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:41,879
Speaker 2: Blax bro. He just woke up from a nap and

223
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,919
saw the trade. If my son has been traded, had

224
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,039
a baby, girls.

225
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,399
Speaker 3: No, we gotta we gotta get.

226
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: Joseph, the one of the biggest Zoo boosters, absolutely got

227
00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:57,679
it on this whole thing. This is uh, this is

228
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,639
another curse of the Carl Tart Jersey.

229
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,519
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, never knew.

230
00:12:05,279 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: Carl Tart friend of the pod anytime he buys a

231
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,879
Clippers jersey.

232
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,919
Speaker 3: They are trading.

233
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: They are gone. Uh, And we haven't talked about how

234
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,679
we feel about Benedict Mathurin.

235
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:21,759
Speaker 4: Where do you see him fitting in? Are they going

236
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,000
to start him off the bench? Do you think he's

237
00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:25,399
a swap for Done?

238
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,879
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what last night I asked coach Lup

239
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:32,720
pre game about Darius Garland and if he would like

240
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:37,240
a different backcourt made for him versus James Harden And

241
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,720
at the very end he said, you know, we'll see

242
00:12:39,759 --> 00:12:42,279
there's a lot going on. That's a good question, and

243
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:47,200
he said it kind of in a way I today, Yeah, Well,

244
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,000
I think he knew that this trade could happen and

245
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:54,519
Benedict could end up his backcourt mate. That's kind of

246
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,919
how I read. We watched it today a couple of

247
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:02,159
different times, like I think this trade of us. I

248
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:08,879
think this trade was obviously the works for some times. Yeah,

249
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:09,759
I did.

250
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,759
Speaker 3: Expert to out.

251
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: Luckily I am one what I need to be. No,

252
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,159
I I think he could start, but more likely comes

253
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,080
off the bench at first, and it's still Chris Done.

254
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 4: That's the Yeah, that's like the path forward that I

255
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:33,679
would most likely see unless they're unless for whatever reason,

256
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,879
Matherine is available in the lineup prior to Garland.

257
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well like this, Joseph Ryward is trying to get

258
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,440
on the stream, but I don't know how his internets.

259
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,440
I don't think it's working.

260
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: He's the head of sales, not the head of it.

261
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well then the standings are super weird right now,

262
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,919
because like if you're not in the play and you're

263
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,399
trying to, like the West is crazy, Like a lot

264
00:13:57,399 --> 00:14:00,279
of the teams below the Clippers are gonna try and

265
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,919
outright tank pretty hard.

266
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 3: Who do we got pull it? Pull it up on, let.

267
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: Me get removing Joseph.

268
00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:09,799
Speaker 2: Someone's gotta stop with it. He may be a good guy,

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,759
but Zoo was not a good fit for the Clippers.

270
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:13,000
That's not what this is about.

271
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. And also so if you didn't want Zoo on

272
00:14:17,759 --> 00:14:20,039
the team, he's gone, So you're sorry. He is in

273
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,759
a sack. Yeah, we can be done. We can be

274
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:28,000
done with that. Yeah, Like, congrats. So here's the West

275
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,000
should be popping up. So like there's the clips. The

276
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:41,240
Warriors are in a really weird spot. Did they get better? No? Like,

277
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,039
so they're probably trying to tank to some extent. With

278
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,960
Butler out, I don't think the Blazers want to tank

279
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,320
because I think it conveys or something. But like, like

280
00:14:51,399 --> 00:14:54,559
these guys are not trying to win games, so like

281
00:14:55,559 --> 00:14:57,720
neither of the you know what I mean, Like the

282
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Clippers could kind of end up asked backwardsly in a

283
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:02,559
higher seed than they should be.

284
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think playing is definitely looking like a more

285
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,039
sure thing now and just getting at least the tenth

286
00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:15,879
spot in the Western Conference at least, but they still

287
00:15:15,879 --> 00:15:17,600
would have work to do, I think to get into

288
00:15:17,639 --> 00:15:19,000
the seventy eight matchup.

289
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:26,159
Speaker 1: Absolutely. The Clippers also are we haggle, no haggle, how

290
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,639
we should feel nervous for the game tomorrow because the

291
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,159
Kings have lost ten in a row.

292
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 5: No hagle.

293
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,279
Speaker 2: They also didn't do anything. There may be a cyber

294
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:38,480
relief from some of those guys, or maybe they're upset

295
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:40,559
because they get traded as Zacramento.

296
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that's true.

297
00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:48,279
Speaker 5: Joseph commuting commuting.

298
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:51,639
Speaker 2: Are you India?

299
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 5: I'm actually I've kidnapped Zoo. I'm not letting him go.

300
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:02,919
He's in the back. No, it's me, my son and

301
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,759
my and my grandchild. We're just all, We're all. I'm

302
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:15,639
actually excited I'm actually I'm excited about this. I do

303
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,799
like Matherin, I'm not just excited because this is one

304
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:21,279
of the dumb trades. I kept spamming to everybody over

305
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,039
and over and over again when I heard they might

306
00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:25,559
trade zoo is this does?

307
00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: This doesn't have six organizations into it.

308
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 5: Listen, every time I send one of those, there's a

309
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:34,519
caveyat this is multiple deals. Don't think I'm sending you

310
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:38,200
an actual six team trade. It's just the easiest way

311
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:43,559
to conceptualize that is not true. Well, actually, Chuck, you

312
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,279
get my most arranged ones. I have a problem, ladies

313
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,840
and gentleman. Sorry not to derail the pod, but uh,

314
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:58,240
obviously the Kings game is concerning because we're gonna suck

315
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,759
for a little bit because any time you take a

316
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:04,880
variable that Ty was counting on and you take it away,

317
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:06,519
he forgets how to coach.

318
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: For like five games, he.

319
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: Just he's like, I don't know what's happening, nothing is working,

320
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,640
and then he figures it out. So I think the

321
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,359
team is gonna be surprisingly good, but not for like

322
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,079
two weeks.

323
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's gonna there's gonna be some growing pains.

324
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:31,839
Garland's not here yet like then we have the Yeah.

325
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,599
Speaker 5: Concerned, he has six working toes, but I think we're

326
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,440
gonna get through that.

327
00:17:35,319 --> 00:17:37,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, how badly do you really need him?

328
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 5: Right?

329
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,079
Speaker 1: Really need your big toe that's the one.

330
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he is missing one of those unfortunately.

331
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not necessarily good.

332
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,599
Speaker 2: Why do some people think like the trade line hasn't ended?

333
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,160
They're like, I think DeRozan's coming to the Clippers, like,

334
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,480
oh when this summer on a buyout.

335
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: I'm no more old guys. We're in the youth movement.

336
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,920
That's right, the Clippers youth movement.

337
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 5: We're in the y honest movement. Hands on the wheel,

338
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,880
we are in the honest moment.

339
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't can dude, Nis is so annoying.

340
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 5: He's waiting for his one true desire to come available.

341
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,880
And guess what it did today.

342
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: To get overpaid by the Clippers.

343
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:34,759
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, he's coming, guy, he's coming.

344
00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: Where do you see us finishing in the standings Joseph.

345
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:39,799
Speaker 5: Nine?

346
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: Okay?

347
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: Where they are?

348
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, we're holding. We're holding firm. Night.

349
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: I mean you could really hope to jump as the

350
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,640
Warriors realistically.

351
00:18:53,039 --> 00:18:56,319
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I mean they did just trade for a

352
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:05,480
guy with Potts, So look as someone as someone who

353
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:10,559
was tested for pots. Pots is a really challenging the sord. No,

354
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:17,640
it is seriously, seriously.

355
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 3: Potts not a joke.

356
00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:19,559
Speaker 1: Man.

357
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:23,559
Speaker 5: Every time you stand up, you get flush it. Stop sweating.

358
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:25,480
It's a whole thing. Man, It's really not good.

359
00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:29,759
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that on the Patreon. Will

360
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,880
and Shap will scale it one to ten. I'll surprise,

361
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,359
are you Bogie still on the team?

362
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: Uh lake surprise, But not that they couldn't find a

363
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:46,440
trade partner, if that makes sense.

364
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:55,599
Speaker 5: How how did the Bulls say no to like another

365
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:58,720
guard swap? It feels like all they've been doing is

366
00:19:58,759 --> 00:20:02,119
guard swaps. And I'm sure was like, hey, I know

367
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,359
you've been doing all these guard swaps. What about Bogie

368
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,839
for Sexton? We'll give you a second, And they're like no,

369
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,279
And He's like, you just did eight other trades where

370
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:15,160
this formula works. Why doesn't it work now?

371
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,519
Speaker 1: I said on Twitter that no one should try and

372
00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:21,200
predict what the Bulls are doing. Ever proved to be

373
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:22,599
a wise call.

374
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: I think his Sexton was already traded, he'd have to

375
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,359
match salary one for one that the next guy he

376
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:39,200
was traded for, and then that's yeah, otherwise with the

377
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,240
siren in the background.

378
00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm muting Joseph real quick.

379
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 3: The production.

380
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 2: He really does have Zoo in the back seat.

381
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:51,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, Joseph's like, Oh, but my car is getting hit

382
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:58,680
by a train. Yeah. This it's just I don't know.

383
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,240
It's still feels shocking, kind of like did the new

384
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,359
errors just already here?

385
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: Oh? Do you guys want the Lawrence Frank statement on Zoo?

386
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:05,839
Speaker 1: Yes?

387
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:09,559
Speaker 2: Well, this trade is extremely difficult for many reasons, but

388
00:21:09,599 --> 00:21:12,640
in order to achieve our ultimate goals as an organization,

389
00:21:12,759 --> 00:21:15,039
we felt we had to take advantage of the opportunity.

390
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,160
Zoo is one of the best centers in the NBA,

391
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,519
the longest tenured player on the team, and a pillar

392
00:21:19,599 --> 00:21:22,039
of everything we've done for the past seven years. He's

393
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:25,279
an elite rimp protector and rebounder who made himself into

394
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,599
an effective offensive threat attribute to his hard work. We

395
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,039
will miss Zoo as a player and a person. He

396
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,000
is a terrific teammate and a true competitor who gave

397
00:21:34,039 --> 00:21:37,200
us everything he had. We are grateful for Zuo, along

398
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,640
with Kobe, who grew a lot in the past two

399
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,359
and a half seasons and can help any team with

400
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,680
his passing, ball, handling, and defense.

401
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: Notice he did not say shooting.

402
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,279
Speaker 5: Am I unmuted yet?

403
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so funny that that part wasn't there. Go ahead, Joseph,

404
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,279
you are unmuted. Thank you.

405
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 5: Uh, Kobe getting one line in that press conference is

406
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,440
one line too many about.

407
00:22:10,279 --> 00:22:13,519
Speaker 1: What's this? This is nasty, this is just mean. Now

408
00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:16,319
you're making pots jokes.

409
00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:20,279
Speaker 5: It wasn't a joke. It's a very serious condition.

410
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:28,759
Speaker 1: This isn't an Austin comedy podcast here. Oh that's a

411
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:31,000
great state with my Lawrence Frank. All of these trades

412
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,799
are hurt for the most part. Yeah, like not hurt,

413
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,640
just like, oh it's over, you know what I mean?

414
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,880
Like it was amicable with Harden. Uh you make the

415
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:46,640
trade for you every time I think, yeah, just brutal.

416
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:50,079
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss him a lot, honestly. Yeah, a little

417
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,480
bit emotional. It's a little bit emotional. Is he gets

418
00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:56,880
Clipper Nation better than any other player I've seen. He

419
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,839
gets the hardships of this franchise.

420
00:23:01,319 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: He broke the.

421
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,079
Speaker 5: He he's obviously he was one of my favorite Clippers.

422
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,200
I stand for Zoom, you know, for many years, and

423
00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:16,799
it sucks. It sucks to lose a player of that caliber,

424
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,200
and this was like a no this is a no

425
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:25,680
brainer for where the franchise was. What they did at

426
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,799
this deadline was like a gift. They were handed a

427
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:32,559
gift like I get out of jail free card, and

428
00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:33,079
they took it.

429
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:36,519
Speaker 1: Was your favorite.

430
00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 5: My favorite Zoom moment.

431
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:43,839
Speaker 1: When he destroyed Myles Turner, which was awesome. That was

432
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,480
so tight.

433
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 5: Mine is not only when he dunked on Tres it's

434
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,559
the photo from when he yelled at him after dunking

435
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,680
on him while he was later That's my favorite. That's

436
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,720
my favorite Zoom moment. His little sideway, his mouth thing

437
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:02,960
that he does when he's yelling. The best.

438
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,279
Speaker 2: He had was was the Miles Turner game. Also the

439
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:10,160
thirty twenty nine game from Zoo against the Pacers. Yes,

440
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,079
yes they got a good look at him.

441
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:19,519
Speaker 1: Yeah we didn't know it will What are you going for?

442
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:20,640
Favorite Zoom moment.

443
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 4: Anytime he sort of like, uh lost his cool a

444
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,240
little bit. Like the one that's immediately coming to mind

445
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:33,440
is just because it's like the most recent, but that

446
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,039
tangle up with Vanderbilt because I feel like he like, uh,

447
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,839
you know, he does a lot of these and stuff

448
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,880
because he doesn't get calls, which we all.

449
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: Know why we've talked about him on the podcast extensively.

450
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,119
You grow the hair out, uh.

451
00:24:46,039 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: But yeah, like seeing him like kind of lose lose

452
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,279
the cool anytime on the court, I thought was great

453
00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:55,359
because you know that he has that inside at all times.

454
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,799
Speaker 3: Just the way that he goes like the way that

455
00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:58,640
he goes up against guys.

456
00:24:59,119 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

457
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 4: Also his I've talked about it, I don't even know

458
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:04,440
how many times on the pod, but his initiation I

459
00:25:04,519 --> 00:25:06,880
believe it was his first game with the Clippers when

460
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,559
he contested DeAndre eight and then got yammed on. But

461
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,480
it was just like the tenacity to do it, I thought,

462
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:15,759
just said a lot about Zoo.

463
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah this yeah, man, It's all I thought of when

464
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:24,480
the trade happened. Was when we all watched him get

465
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:27,759
played off the floor against the Warriors that first playoff season.

466
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,480
That just kept popping into my head because that is

467
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,839
he has grown. He grew so much as a player

468
00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:37,799
between that moment and now. It was just like shit,

469
00:25:38,079 --> 00:25:40,920
like we saw him he's still young too, Like we

470
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:51,160
saw him effectively grow up with the Clippers.

471
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 3: In the East in a much easier conference.

472
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, And we got Isaiah Jackson, which no

473
00:25:58,519 --> 00:26:02,839
disrespect Isaiah Jackson. Sorry we didn't mention you. People in

474
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:09,160
the chat seem hyped onto him, but I I don't

475
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,400
know ball on this one.

476
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,559
Speaker 3: On the Jackson acquisition, where are you at on that?

477
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 2: It's a nice pickup for a serviceable big man after

478
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,720
a move like this. But he hasn't been the same

479
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:24,039
since the Achilles injury, but he has at least been

480
00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:27,759
available as of late. Obviously they're haven't such a down year.

481
00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:30,480
It's hard to evaluate a lot of it, but I

482
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,559
think it's it's nice to have him with Brook, Lopez

483
00:26:33,559 --> 00:26:36,480
and Yonick. Still, I think he offers like he's the

484
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:38,880
small ball, you know center out of those three now

485
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,440
or the smaller center. Uh, he can't shoot or anything,

486
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:46,480
so he's the six nine undersize five. But yeah, he

487
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:48,680
was actually really good a couple of years ago. You

488
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,319
look at his like per thirty six numbers and they're ridiculous,

489
00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:55,799
Like we're talking almost like three blocks per thirty six minutes.

490
00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:58,920
But this is pre Achilles. So this is the contract though,

491
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,240
is you know it's I think it de escalates or descends.

492
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,759
It goes from like seven million, Yeah, it's three years

493
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:08,200
twenty one million, and it just started this year, so

494
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,480
I think the last year is the twenty seven to

495
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,839
twenty eight season, and it's around six million per year.

496
00:27:14,759 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's not it's like a flyer. Yeah, yeah, whatever.

497
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,519
Speaker 2: If he can regain some of his athleticism from the Achilles,

498
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:24,599
you know, that'd be big trouser.

499
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: J Slack says, I hope Jackson doesn't take Yanis minutes.

500
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,039
I don't think he will. There's a lot of center

501
00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:33,480
minutes to go around. Is Will kind of already brought up.

502
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:38,599
Lopez can't exact. We'll see how many minutes Lopez can

503
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,559
play for the rest of the season. But I don't

504
00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:46,599
think you should be worried about Yeah, would we start Brook?

505
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,119
I mean Brooks starts. Yeah, brook has to start.

506
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: He gets the first shot. Maybe by the end of

507
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,680
the season, maybe it's onic, but for now it's.

508
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: Going to be Brook probably, And I think Yannick stays

509
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:58,160
number two.

510
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,079
Speaker 3: Maybe, And there's a chance, like Brooke could his play

511
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,680
could elevate a little bit just playing with some of

512
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,519
those theoretically better lineups.

513
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Matt Benedict grabs boards, he's a good iss rebounder,

514
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,400
He can crash the boards because Lopez is not going

515
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,160
to no disrespect.

516
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:20,519
Speaker 2: He just.

517
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: Boards.

518
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,079
Speaker 2: I was dangerously high on Benedict in the draft that year,

519
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,400
coming out of Arizona. He went one of his Yeah,

520
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,839
one of his comps was Kawhi like a Kawhi light.

521
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:38,400
That's that's one of his comps.

522
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: That was one of the first things.

523
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 4: I didn't even want to speak on it because it

524
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,440
seemed like the Clippers still could make more moves up

525
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,039
to the deadline. But like having him under Kawhi, I

526
00:28:48,039 --> 00:28:49,599
do think is really interesting.

527
00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:53,039
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I like that from from a development perspective, like,

528
00:28:53,079 --> 00:28:54,599
I do think that that's very interesting.

529
00:28:55,079 --> 00:28:59,079
Speaker 2: There's one issue, and Law brought this up and I

530
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,920
kind of felt like, well, if you traded, if you

531
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,640
got this guy in the trade for a beach Zubot,

532
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,319
you have to hold on to him no matter what.

533
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,799
But he is a restricted free agent this summer, you're

534
00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:11,200
gonna have to pay him this summer. So Benedict, Yeah,

535
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,920
he's making nine million now he turns restricted. That's a

536
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,079
big reason the Pacers like, well, we're not looking at

537
00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:19,160
paying him a hundred million dollars or whatever it's going

538
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,039
to be. It becomes a really big decision, and Law

539
00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:25,480
brought up earlier that he thinks it's a real trial

540
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,440
period where it's not that they would let him go

541
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,720
for nothing, but if he doesn't work with the Clippers,

542
00:29:31,759 --> 00:29:33,200
it could be a sign and trade piece.

543
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they also got to pay Collins theoretically right,

544
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,440
like if you I want to pay on Collins.

545
00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 3: I'll take a couple of sham out.

546
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 6: But they also got to pay Will. Yeah, what's the will.

547
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:58,640
I don't know if that third April so he had

548
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,759
the Clippers. That is a great point. They gotta like

549
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:05,119
sign and trade piece is at bath But I hope

550
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:07,000
that Mathern can play to the point that.

551
00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:12,799
Speaker 2: Wow, that's weird, Like you may have to take your lumps,

552
00:30:13,319 --> 00:30:15,799
like if you're wondering about how good they're going to

553
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:19,039
be the rest of the way, Like they have to

554
00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:21,279
find out what they have in Mathern right away.

555
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:24,319
Speaker 1: This is kind of a good point from Sunken City

556
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,559
clips when Garland comes back, which let's assume post All

557
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:32,440
Star Break, Tyler talked about the team wanting to play faster.

558
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,640
Lopez is the starting center for a team that's led

559
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:41,400
by Darius Garland with Mathern out there, and Derek, like Collins,

560
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,680
it's a fast team, right, Like Lopez is going to slow.

561
00:30:45,759 --> 00:30:48,000
That's a I'm not going to maybe agree with the

562
00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:50,960
runs like a slug part. But he is a slower

563
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,680
guy out there, and he's old. He just has to

564
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,559
get to the three point one day, you know what,

565
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,160
I'm an idiot on three point top of the three

566
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,799
point line, of the top of the three point line.

567
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,079
He has to run lest That'll be interesting. How much

568
00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:10,920
experimentation the Clippers do with that while still wanting to

569
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,960
get to that five hundred number will be interesting to Nitor.

570
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you can maybe lower your expectations slightly

571
00:31:22,839 --> 00:31:24,480
from where they were if you thought they were gonna

572
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:26,799
end up, you know, with forty five wins or forty

573
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:30,839
six wins. Maybe now it's like forty two. Just staying

574
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:35,920
above just staying above five hundred would be big, so

575
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,319
much of an adjustment.

576
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,319
Speaker 3: You could be pleased with that outcome.

577
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: If we were just five hundred, I'm like, yeah, great.

578
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,599
Speaker 3: Now gotta be forty two wentes.

579
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be fine with five hundred.

580
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: Anything less is failure.

581
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,119
Speaker 1: I mean I would obviously prefer one more wingh Yeah, No,

582
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,000
we weren't trying to disrespect Benedict Mathrin. I just haven't wonted.

583
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: We just said how big of fans we were in

584
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,000
his comp was Kawhi. I think I think it's gonna work.

585
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:09,920
I'm a big fan. I think there is so much

586
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,880
to unlock with him. I don't think defensively he's gotten

587
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,720
to the point where everybody thought he'd get to out

588
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,359
of Arizona.

589
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 5: Uh.

590
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 2: And offensively, you know he's in. He's more of an

591
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,759
ISO guy. He The question on him is the same

592
00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:24,079
thing with Kaminga, like can he get his own and

593
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:26,640
also get others involved and play within the team concept?

594
00:32:26,759 --> 00:32:27,279
Well enough?

595
00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: Right? This is an interesting point. When's the thank you

596
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:38,480
post for CP three Codd, I don't know, you'd think

597
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,960
they'd have that the works right or already locked and loaded.

598
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 3: Would you have preferred cominga in draft capital if that

599
00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:46,759
was on the table.

600
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: No, Benedict is further along than Kminga.

601
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's yeah, just so much more playing.

602
00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:01,039
Speaker 2: Benedict dropped twenty points. It's in two of the finals

603
00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:04,119
games last year, including game seven. Like you go through

604
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,480
the playoff run and it's like he's got twenty points here,

605
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:10,440
He's got twenty points like Bennydicc's had real playoff experience too.

606
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,119
After that run that's was so great. It's twenty three.

607
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,359
I thought that Cominga played a little bit in the

608
00:33:15,359 --> 00:33:18,720
twenty twenty two for them, but he scored over twenty

609
00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:21,359
in Game seven. They led it the half after how

610
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,759
he went down, he was one of the reasons they

611
00:33:23,839 --> 00:33:26,079
actually held onto the lead for a bit.

612
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing how I'm also excited to

613
00:33:30,279 --> 00:33:33,440
see Tie with a completely different system than what he's

614
00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:37,079
used to. No pun intended, I guess with what we're

615
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,400
gonna see there. The Chris Paul trade was funny. So

616
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,079
the Clippers now going to convert Kobe Sanders or Jordan Miller,

617
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,920
doesn't matter who they convert first.

618
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,079
Speaker 2: Necessarily the other guy's gonna be pissed.

619
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's doing that. The Clippers traded for the

620
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:02,720
rights to Vanya Markinovich, who currently is recovering from a

621
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:06,000
torn achilles. I just thought that was kind of a

622
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:09,760
funny caveat of the CP three trade because we have

623
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,519
the rights to a guy who tore his achilles.

624
00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: He's twenty nine. He was drafted like by the Kings

625
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,639
in the second round. I think in twenty nineteen eighty.

626
00:34:17,039 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: It's just crazy, like what a we I don't know,

627
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,440
I'm feeling. Yeah, kudos the Lawrence Frank on this trade deadline.

628
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,639
He killed this one.

629
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 2: Good luck ating Walker Kesseler. The Pacers inquired about him

630
00:34:31,519 --> 00:34:34,800
before getting it. Beats a Zoo boss. Everybody's asked about Castler.

631
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,679
The Lakers were trying to get Kestler.

632
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,679
Speaker 3: Like that's an unmovable I think.

633
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think marketing is more gettable. Yeah, but he

634
00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:49,519
already got paid too, so.

635
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,119
Speaker 1: JJ the boy is still sad about Zoo. That's fair.

636
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,960
We the Clippers play the Pacers at some point again March,

637
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,119
of course. I think we actually know the Clippers play

638
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:01,719
all thirty one other teams in March. I think that

639
00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:06,679
that's That's what the NBA did over the weekend. Yeah,

640
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,400
they said, you guys, have you have a back to

641
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:16,639
back uh to the nth degree? Yeah, March fourth home game.

642
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,440
Hell yeah, that's gonna be rad. So he's gonna drop

643
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,960
thirty five and thirty on us?

644
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: How many.

645
00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:30,519
Speaker 1: In March?

646
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

647
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,519
Speaker 1: Let me, I'm sure I haven't. I'm sure I brought

648
00:35:34,519 --> 00:35:35,440
that up somewhere.

649
00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 2: Don't be surprised, guys, if you're watching the Vista Zubos

650
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,239
by the way, next season in the Eastern Conference Finals

651
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,639
with the Indiana Pacers. I'm just I'm just warning you now,

652
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,039
like Indiana is gonna be really good and Visa Zubos

653
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:50,039
is a really good player. So all those people hating

654
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:54,039
on him and they're all happy, like, just no, Visa

655
00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:55,599
Zoobots is a hell of a player.

656
00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 4: And then I mean, look at the return, Like if

657
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,679
you were skeptical about if you were skeptical about Zoo

658
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,400
and what he offered, and if you thought that this

659
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:07,599
podcast was too high on him, which I mean sure

660
00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:11,519
maybe at times there's there's some zoom I s e perhaps,

661
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:14,920
but uh like, just look at the return and that's

662
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:18,239
what the league thought, Like, that's what the league thinks of.

663
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 2: Then there's your proof. If you love the trade so much,

664
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:25,480
you also are acknowledging that they got this trade because

665
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,199
they gave up a really good player.

666
00:36:29,159 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: Okay, you asked about March. I don't have the numbers

667
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:33,719
on the four and fives.

668
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,199
Speaker 2: But if you just have the March calendar wherever you

669
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,119
walk around, and yeah.

670
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: This doesn't tell time, this is just the March calendar.

671
00:36:43,519 --> 00:36:47,480
It starts with a five and seven in four different cities,

672
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,239
and then there's another They have two five and sevens

673
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:57,280
in March. Yeah, celeb right, so they have two five

674
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,800
and sevens, which seems difficult.

675
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: We talked about it. They win sixteen and three over

676
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:08,639
a nineteen game stretch. They weren't going sixty and three

677
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:11,559
the next nineteen games. Even if James Hard doesn't get traded.

678
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,320
The schedule got much tougher. Well, they'll go fifty. Yeah,

679
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,920
we'll go fifteen and three in March. Oh yeah, I

680
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,039
can't go sixteen and three if it's only eighteen games.

681
00:37:19,079 --> 00:37:24,639
Speaker 1: Dude, duh, duch just civil math. Brother, The Nerds ruined basketball,

682
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:30,320
all right. So we got the Kings, the new look Kings.

683
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,199
DeAndre Hunter is probably gonna go off for sixty five

684
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,119
points or something insane. And then before the break, the

685
00:37:36,119 --> 00:37:38,960
Clippers have a three and four where they're at the

686
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:45,079
Wolves and then a back to back at Houston, so

687
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,360
I might we might be limping into the All Star

688
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:47,960
break up.

689
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: Wins wise, tomorrow looks like an early must win if

690
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,320
you want to finish about five hundred this season, because

691
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,159
the back to back in Houston is gonna be brough.

692
00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:03,920
Minnesota's gonna be rough on Sunday. Yeah, well let's go

693
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,159
too and two the next thanks four huge.

694
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,199
Speaker 1: I would take two and two? Will would you take

695
00:38:08,199 --> 00:38:09,280
two and two? Or is out a fild?

696
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? We don't even know who's playing, for God's sake. Yeah,

697
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,599
I'll take going five hundred over that stretch.

698
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair. Someone's asking what kind of contract we

699
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,519
have to give Bed this summer. We don't know. I

700
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:26,960
don't really think you could peg on contract. You can

701
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:35,039
bathroom this summer, respectfully.

702
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not quite. What happens with him over the

703
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,039
next two months is just monumental for this team.

704
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:43,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. People that chat are really upset about Bogie. You

705
00:38:43,599 --> 00:38:44,400
gotta let that go.

706
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,119
Speaker 3: He's just gotta let that one go, all right, And

707
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:53,320
in the market, like what it looks like, too.

708
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,199
Speaker 1: Could be elevated if you play as well.

709
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: I'm hoping he's a long term guy. And the fit

710
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,039
in the backcourt next to Darius Garland, like that's he's

711
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:08,320
always projected, is having a really high ceiling. He's showing

712
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,920
it in flashes. This is a huge get.

713
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited with.

714
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 3: He's holding them back.

715
00:39:19,679 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: Mitchell's no longer holding Garland back. Yeah, I have this

716
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,880
feeling where it's like, I know that I'm excited, and

717
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,679
I know that all of these moves were good, But

718
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,280
like we've said, it's been such a weird ass season

719
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,440
up to this point. We had paper ball, we didn't

720
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,719
win a game, and for an entire month, Zoo just

721
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,559
had a kid. The franchise is completely transitioning from well

722
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:48,199
now it's just the two era, I guess because it's

723
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:53,360
just Kawhi just a lot of shit going on.

724
00:39:54,599 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 2: I really, and it's not just because he ended up

725
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,360
staying after they trade a beast Zubos. I think people

726
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,199
underestimate how much Kauai is enjoying being home and being

727
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,719
with his family. I do not think he wants to leave.

728
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, his contract situation is going to be interesting too,

729
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,159
at the end of his whole thing.

730
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, people are already projecting on evil four letter Earlier today,

731
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:23,000
I saw Ramona and who was a wind horse say,

732
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:25,199
you know, is Kawhi gonna get traded this summer?

733
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: Now?

734
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: It's like, can we just can we just relax a

735
00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:30,840
little bit? They just made all these huge moves, Kauai

736
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:31,679
is still here.

737
00:40:33,119 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: That was yeah, Well, I mean everyone thought Kawhi was

738
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,360
traded when they sent out that damn All Star alert.

739
00:40:39,679 --> 00:40:41,880
I thought he was when I saw this, I thought, yeah,

740
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,760
I think when he was named it All Star and

741
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,440
it was the shop Street that was like Los Angeles Clippers.

742
00:40:48,519 --> 00:40:55,440
It was like, oh my God, gets starting. But I

743
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,800
guess thankfully that didn't happen. Now, Kawhi is kind of

744
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,360
the master splinter of the whole crew.

745
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:00,599
Speaker 3: Uh.

746
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 4: For the most part, that was for that was only

747
00:41:03,039 --> 00:41:05,199
for Adam. We'll have to do a breakdown to of

748
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,559
like how much just how much younger we.

749
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 3: Got average age wise?

750
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, well, Lopez has sold the team and

751
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,880
we can take CP three off, which is good.

752
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 2: The words I think of the oldest team now.

753
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: Good. Yeah, King's gotta be up there. Westbrook's old, Westbrook's old.

754
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:34,280
Levigne isn't young, he's thirty. All right, We're gonna runt

755
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,599
down the age of every single player on every single team.

756
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: Now that we're not the oldest, We're calling out everybody

757
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,920
else's old old.

758
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: Mush for dinner and take your weird lift up your

759
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:52,280
stairs every other nap that does all right? Final thoughts, well,

760
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:55,159
at this trade deadline, do you have any final thoughts?

761
00:41:55,519 --> 00:41:57,079
Speaker 3: The functions canceled.

762
00:41:58,679 --> 00:42:00,519
Speaker 2: Somebody said the nephew are up.

763
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definew time, Adam one positive thing for these fans,

764
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,199
there's a lot of But.

765
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,559
Speaker 2: I already had affinity for the Indiana Pacers after the

766
00:42:14,599 --> 00:42:17,320
magical run they had last season, and it's felt like

767
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,159
this a lot over the years with guys who were

768
00:42:19,159 --> 00:42:21,840
traded away from the Clippers, like starting with Tobias Harris,

769
00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:27,000
Guys who were great for this organization that you feel

770
00:42:27,039 --> 00:42:29,719
good about rooting for even though they're on the East

771
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,559
Coast and you can kind of track them and follow

772
00:42:31,599 --> 00:42:34,079
them and see how they're doing. Avisa Zubos is always

773
00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:35,639
gonna be one of those guys for me now, like

774
00:42:35,679 --> 00:42:38,039
I'm always gonna be checking out how's the Beata Zoobas doing.

775
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:40,519
And Clippers want to see him twice a season unless

776
00:42:40,519 --> 00:42:43,320
they meet in the NBA Finals, So it doesn't exactly

777
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,679
interfere with your fandom with the Clippers too much. But

778
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,800
I love Visa Zoobots, appreciate everything he did here with

779
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,559
this Clippers team, and he'll always have will always have

780
00:42:51,599 --> 00:42:52,800
plenty of fans Inclipornation.

781
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 4: Barring the Clippers making the finals, I will be watching

782
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,840
the Calves and the Pacer. Well, I mean not the

783
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,719
Pacers this year, but I'll be watching the season.

784
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be a good time

785
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,559
for ex Clippers. Clippers have a bright future ahead of them,

786
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:15,599
which wasn't necessarily true thirty six hours ago. So I'm

787
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:19,719
feeling good. Watch your Zoo highlights, cry your tears, watch

788
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,800
your Harden highlights, and let's get hyped on the new guys.

789
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,280
It's get hyped on the draft picks. We actually gonna

790
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,159
care about the lottery this year for the first time

791
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:34,199
in a very long Yeah, yeah, all right, go ahead.

792
00:43:34,199 --> 00:43:36,679
Speaker 2: Did you figure out anything? Because right now they have

793
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,719
the third worst record in the league, the Pacers. Do

794
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,159
we want them to actually win just a slight bit

795
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:49,199
more absolutely.

796
00:43:47,079 --> 00:43:50,039
Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Zoo has a very unique opportunity right now.

797
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:51,559
Speaker 2: Okay, got yeah.

798
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: Like, no, it's not there. I'm not wishing on their

799
00:43:53,519 --> 00:43:57,519
downfall at all. I'm wishing on their gradual slope and

800
00:43:57,559 --> 00:44:02,000
then plateau. Like because also, the lottery isn't the same.

801
00:44:02,599 --> 00:44:05,119
A lot of people already saying it's rigged and they're

802
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:07,800
not gonna they're gonna get the number one pick, so

803
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:13,719
maybe they'll be right yeah, I'm yeah. The lottery watch

804
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,400
party will be a fun time. They should do that at.

805
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 3: The If a Pacers somehow do end up getting the

806
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,639
number one pick, it's rigged.

807
00:44:20,119 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd agree with that. If it doesn't work out

808
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,079
how I want it to work out, it's rigged. Uh,
