A lot to get to here in 54 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.960 the show today, of course, this is the day we 55 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.479 get to find out where the San Antonio Spurs will 56 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.879 be in the NBA Draft lottery. We feel it, Spurs fans, 57 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:36.400 don't you. 58 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.319 Oh, you hear the electric guitar from the eighties, You 59 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:44.080 know it's in the air tonight, because tonight we get 60 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.479 to see if the San Antonio Spurs will shock the 61 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:47.319 world again. 62 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:54.360 Into becoming a lottery team. A lot of people call 63 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:57.840 it hogwash, a lot of people call it rigged. If 64 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.599 the Spurs get another number one p or even two 65 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.080 top ten picks. Right now, we're on the outside looking 66 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.560 at at number eight and number fourteen, I believe are 67 00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:10.080 the picks and we can get some solid picks to 68 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.400 solidify our future. But to get that one pick, everybody's 69 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.839 talking about Cooper Flag. Could the Spurs land Cooper Flag. 70 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:22.040 Cooper Flag was here for the March madness, he worked 71 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.759 out with the Spurs and he can feel it. Phil 72 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.800 Collins Ken, can you oh Lord is right? If the 73 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.839 San Antonio Spurs land another number one pick? Oh Lord 74 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.519 is right? What will the Spurs do with them? Should 75 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.360 they keep the number one pick? What if they land 76 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.680 a one and a four pick? Then I'll be honest 77 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.399 with you, I'm a Spurs fan of forty years. I've 78 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.160 never seen it. Then it's definitely rigged. It is definitely ripped. 79 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.399 But what if we can land the number one spot 80 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.480 and then maybe land like a twelve or get our 81 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.519 fourteenth pick. What do you think, Spurs fans, that we 82 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.519 should do with that? We would love to see you 83 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.079 guys comment. Actually on our YouTube page. You can comment 84 00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.399 on any of the videos, especially the ones about Cooper 85 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.959 Flag or Yanasaka Patumbo. We would love to see you comment. 86 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.639 We'll give you a shout out on the show as well. 87 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.120 We're gonna talk about that in a minute. A lot 88 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.759 of you guys out there in the world of podcasting 89 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:23.199 for the Spurs are baseline bums TSR Sports and many 90 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.639 of you others too, and some of you guys like us, 91 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.639 have put all over social media that you're getting pictures 92 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.360 of Cooper Flag in a number two jersey. I don't 93 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.160 see that happening. So let's be realist on this show. 94 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.399 And that's the part about our show. We try to 95 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:44.600 bring that nobody else does. We as Spurs fans, have 96 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.360 got to be real. It's the younger generation. I'm gonna 97 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.480 be honest with you, guys. Keeps it real, all right, 98 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.680 you're the ones that want it right then and now 99 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.079 you want to see us bring in Lebron James yanasaka 100 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.000 Patumbo and just make the Superstar team and only win 101 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:07.000 two titles in five years. The NBA is tough. There's 102 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.319 a lot of teams out there vying for this championship 103 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:12.800 and a lot of up and coming teams that nobody's 104 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.759 paying attention to. For instance, look at the Indiana Pacers. 105 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.519 We'll talk about them in a moment. We'll go over 106 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.879 last night's games. We'll get you prepped for Monday nights 107 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.519 games as well. Here in the NBA playoffs, it's been 108 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.240 a phenomenal playoffs, even though San Antonio hasn't been around. 109 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.639 So many blowouts, back and forth, back and forth, it's 110 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.560 been really interesting to watch. And we'll talk a little 111 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.399 bit about those Pacers, who have got to be the 112 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.759 most underrated underdog team in the playoffs right now. And 113 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.240 I love underdogs. I mean, look at us, we're San 114 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:47.839 Antonio Spurs fans. We're generally underdogs, right We just got 115 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.879 spoiled with all those titles back in the day, we 116 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.680 really did. But talking about the NBA draft here, I 117 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:57.040 really think that the San Antonio Spurs have a big opportunity. 118 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.399 But man, if they can get those top two picks, 119 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.160 do you trade them? I mean, we have future picks 120 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.560 in the bag to continue to develop this team for 121 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:11.519 the future. We have players right now playing in Spain overseas, 122 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.959 like Juan Nunez, who would be a really nice piece 123 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:17.000 to somebody else's team we could trade. We have other 124 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:20.240 players that we haven't seen play yet, like Riley Minnix 125 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.160 and Harris and Ingram. These guys could be really good 126 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:29.879 players elsewhere for somebody in a trade scenario, for somebody 127 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:33.360 like Janis Akapatumbo. Let's talk about Yianis a little bit. 128 00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:37.800 Chris Minnix from SI Sports of Course, Sports Illustrated was 129 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.160 on the Rich Eisen Show last night. He has in 130 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:44.519 pretty interesting takes about where Yannis could land in San 131 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.120 Antonio fans, right now, I want to let you know 132 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:54.279 if this prediction comes true, we're in trouble. We're in trouble. 133 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.079 I believe we need to solidify somebody that's going to 134 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:05.480 fit our tea team for years to come. Yanas could 135 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.600 be that fit a lot of you guys out there. 136 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:09.879 I saw a couple of reports. There was one guy 137 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.519 on the baseline bump saying, I think he's a horrible 138 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:17.120 fit what yanis and Wemby, who's gonna get by them 139 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.279 on defense? The length alone, you could have Wemby go 140 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:25.240 to the bench when he needs a rest, Yannis comes 141 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:28.120 out and that Lenth is still there. They're not going 142 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.279 to get into the paint. We saw when Wemby's out 143 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.519 of the game, teams were scoring on us. That will 144 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:37.559 and the paint with somebody like Yannis. They're helping Wemby 145 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:43.080 become that player of the future as well. Man, I mean, 146 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.279 I just think it would be a good fit for 147 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.080 the Spurs. But what would we have to give up? 148 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:53.159 According to Chris Minnix of Sports Illustrators, you'll hear here 149 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.399 in a moment, keep in mind, Luka Donnich, the Dallas 150 00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.240 Mavericks wanted seven first round picks. Would you do that? 151 00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.600 Spurs fans? We have a lot of picks in the bag, 152 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.559 but we'd have to give up a few players like 153 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:10.879 a Devin Visell, maybe like a Harrison Ingram. Couple players 154 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.080 they could use now, but then they would have players 155 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.639 in the future to build their team in Milwaukee. Let's 156 00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.200 check out what Chris said on the Rich Eiland Show. 157 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.639 Right now, what are the Bucks do now? Just check 158 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.720 in with Giannis every day heat check hopefully not Miami 159 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.679 heat Check, but you know, like, what do we do here? 160 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:29.399 I'll tell you this is interesting because to my knowledge, 161 00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.600 there have been no substantive conversations between the Bucks and 162 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.759 Giannis about the future. The dust is still settling on 163 00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:38.559 all this, and they want to rightfully, they want to 164 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.960 give time for temperatures to cool. But it just seems 165 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.759 like we're heading towards an obvious parting of the ways 166 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.799 for a couple of reasons. One, Yannis is never going 167 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:55.600 to be more valuable to all the other twenty nine 168 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:59.639 teams because he's got two guaranteed years left in his contract. 169 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:02.200 So it opens it up to everybody, not just a team. 170 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.799 Like you know, if you're a small market team, you're 171 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.120 not acquiring this guy afraid that he might say, you know, 172 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:09.000 I'm not signed an extension. I'm going to go play 173 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:09.639 for the Necks. 174 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.000 Of the Lakers. 175 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.799 So you've got a window here. And if you're the Bucks, 176 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.799 you've got teams out there potentially that could make you 177 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:19.919 these massive offers. This is where the Bucks and John 178 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:24.279 Horst I think, need to be aware. You've got to 179 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.759 be able to smell desperation, right Like in the last 180 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.799 ten years, they've been a couple of scenarios where teams 181 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.759 have smelled desperation and hit home runs. The Boston Celtics 182 00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.879 when they smelled desperation on the Brooklyn Nets and traded 183 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.320 away Paul Pierson KG and got all that package back 184 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.240 in return. And the Oklahoma State thunder when they smelled 185 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.039 desperation on the Clippers and got Shay Gildas, Alexander and 186 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.639 four hundred and seven first round draft picks. I think 187 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.120 there could be the same whiff of desperation off a 188 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.759 couple of teams this year. I think Houston number one 189 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.720 is a team that you know, saw what they were 190 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:57.960 with with this group, that's what they wanted to do 191 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.639 that will collect data, figure out what they're they look like. 192 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.759 I think they realize Jalen Green probably not the guy 193 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.159 that can lead them to a championship. They've got Jalen Green, 194 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.720 and they've got all of Phoenix's draft capital for the 195 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.039 next couple of years, which is going to be really valuable. 196 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:15.840 That's one team Oklahoma City right now down oh one 197 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:18.679 a lot to go a long way Togo in that series. 198 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:20.879 But if they bow out in the second round for 199 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:22.960 the second year in a row, they may start to 200 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.399 get a little bit desperate. Because Shay Gildess, Alexander is young, 201 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:29.399 but he's not that young. Lou Dort is young, but 202 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.639 he's not that young. They're not a bunch of a 203 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.000 whole bunch of twenty one year olds like that have 204 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.559 a long, long, long runway. They're a team with its 205 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.440 star in his prime, coming off a probable MVP season. 206 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.519 They're a team that could make a huge offer. And 207 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.919 if I'm Milwaukee and I can choose between offers of 208 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.639 Jalen Green and a bunch of good draft picks and 209 00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:54.919 maybe all the draft picks that Oklahoma City has to 210 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.320 offer in Jalen Williams, who I think could be James 211 00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:59.399 Harden two point zero. Like I think if you give 212 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:03.320 Jaln Willim room to blossom, he could be a superstar 213 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:04.960 in this league. I think he has that much talent. 214 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.919 If you have an opportunity to pit two teams against 215 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.639 each other in a bidding war for your star to 216 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.320 get the rebuilding package of those other teams I mentioned got, 217 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.919 I think it's malpractice not too aggressively go out there 218 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:17.320 and do it. 219 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.799 So when you say honest has never been more attractive 220 00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:22.360 to all twenty nine teams, you're saying the Bucks won't 221 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.399 just call one team and say where thing you're trading 222 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:24.799 him and. 223 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.039 Just to you? Isn't that interesting? Spurs fans san Antonio. 224 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:31.399 Not even in the breath of Chris Minnix. They also 225 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.320 had somebody else on Rich Eisen Show the other day 226 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:38.440 and he said San Antonio would be the long shot, 227 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:42.440 which is very interesting to me. Now, the only way 228 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.559 that makes them not the long shot is tonight if 229 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.879 we find out we have maybe two top ten picks. 230 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.120 How is that not enticing to somebody? However, you did 231 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:55.200 hear what Chris have to say. I want to know 232 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.080 what you guys think as well. Again, please comment on 233 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.480 our YouTube page on any video, any video and just 234 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.360 say hey, I heard the show. I heard Chris Minnick 235 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.879 said that Yanis is not coming here because of AB 236 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:08.639 and C. Would love to talk to you guys as well. 237 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.039 On there. Chris did come across and say the following 238 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:19.200 that Yannis could still stay in Milwaukee. One of the 239 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.759 other reporters said the same thing as well, that Yanis 240 00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:24.000 could stay in Milwaukee and be one of those players 241 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.960 that stays on a team for twenty years and wins 242 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.720 maybe two, maybe three championships and goes down as you know, 243 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.919 a city for folklore legend, you know, like our David Robinson, 244 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.519 Tim Duncan, so on and so forth, but spurs fans. 245 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.960 Here's the scary thing. He has two years left on 246 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:50.159 his guaranteed contract. Chris brought it up with a small 247 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.559 market team like San Antonio. I know what you're saying. 248 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.039 We're not small market. We're small market. We're not LA 249 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:59.039 we're not New York, We're not Orlando, we're not Chicago, 250 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:02.759 we're not Boston. We're a small market team. 251 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:03.080 Guys. 252 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:08.559 We always have been. We've always played that way. Would 253 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.639 you take that risk? Would you take that risk? With 254 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.519 him possibly saying ah, I'm not too sure. Now, if 255 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.639 you're Yannis, you're looking at the situation in San Antonio, 256 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.120 say you sign for the two years and you want 257 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.919 a contract extension. After seeing what happens in San Antonio 258 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.000 two years on a team, you get close, you sniff 259 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.320 the finals again, You're like, this team has got something. 260 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.960 Tiaran's playing great, Wemby's coming into his prime, say into 261 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:39.519 year five. Ooh, we've got a couple good players that 262 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:42.519 are playing off the bench. There, Julian Champanee's playing great, 263 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.759 Jeremy Sohan playing great, A couple of the draft picks 264 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.360 are playing well. Now I think this team could win 265 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:53.759 a championship if I stay in San Antonio. Now we 266 00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.879 talk about contract extension. One of my worries was and 267 00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:58.279 a lot of you guys brought this up to me, 268 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:00.559 and I want to kind of give you guys definitely 269 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:02.799 a round of applause on this one because you set 270 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.480 me straight. See, I'll let you know when I'm wrong. 271 00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:08.759 A couple of you guys on our YouTube page said, 272 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:10.720 we have plenty of money and we have plenty of picks. 273 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:14.080 We can reorganize everything. It scares me though, for the 274 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.519 future down the run. Say in ten years we'll be 275 00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:19.759 back in the same situation. If we have to resign 276 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.919 Wemby to multimillion dollar contract, which we will dearon Fox 277 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.240 is gonna get some top money. Then if you bring 278 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.279 in somebody like Giannis and in two years we have 279 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.320 to resign him. Can you imagine if we have to 280 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.480 resign him right after we resign Wemby the money package 281 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.840 in San Antonio, man, you better hope you have a 282 00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.360 really good money manager here in San Antonio to do 283 00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.039 just that. However, you just gave up two top picks 284 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.840 as well. This is tough in San Antonio. I know 285 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.960 a lot of us want to see Gianis here, but 286 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.720 I'm looking at the future. I see San Antonio as 287 00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:01.320 that team like Oklahoma City. We have all the pieces 288 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:03.240 and plays. We have the youth to have a really 289 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.799 good team for years to come. Now the flip side 290 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.080 of this coin, let me play Devil's advocate real quick. 291 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:15.519 What if Okase he takes them? What if Houston takes them? 292 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:22.559 We're in trouble in our conference. We're in trouble. So 293 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:25.000 do we take Gianas so he doesn't go to these 294 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:28.120 teams so we can solidify us. Man, it is going 295 00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:32.120 to be a very interesting off season with Janasaka Patubo 296 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:36.799 in the NBA alone just here in San Antonio. But again, tonight, 297 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:45.039 come on, come on, come on, this is it, Spurs fans. 298 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:50.600 This will determine our off season. The NBA Draft lottery tonight, 299 00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:57.399 and you know, the Spurs. What if we get flag 300 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:06.240 at one, the league will cry, fans will cry Spurs. 301 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.079 But nothing is set in stone in the NBA. Injuries, 302 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.079 health concerns and more. You don't know what could happen 303 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:17.119 to the Spurs team. That's why I think we're excited 304 00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.640 for next year, aren't we, Spurs fans? We really are. 305 00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.920 We're ready and we are prepared to see what happens next. 306 00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.400 And speaking of what happens next, let's take a little 307 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.279 look at the future of what the Spurs should really need. 308 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:32.160 The one player that keeps coming up in the Spurs 309 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.839 locker room and name is nas Reed. He's having a 310 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.880 good playoff run, which is scary to us Spurs fans 311 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.039 because we're like, no, no, no, no, don't don't do that, 312 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:43.440 because now we got to pay you more money. But 313 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:48.000 he seems like a good pick. I think the kind 314 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:50.480 of the lion in the grass we should be watching 315 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.400 for as somebody like Steven Adams in Houston. We talk 316 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.640 about this a lot. We just need one of those players. 317 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.720 We need one of those players. Maybe re sign Chris 318 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:05.200 Paul to another two year deal. Keep what we have. 319 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.079 I like the team we have. When we're healthy, we 320 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.480 can score. We have not given this team an opportunity 321 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.039 to flourish with their health. Let's call a spade. Is 322 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:19.680 paid Wemby out last year, dearon Fox. We got knowing 323 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:22.680 he needed surgery all of a sudden, Dv's out for 324 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.119 a few games. When your old men on the bench 325 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:27.720 are playing more than you're young, guys, you are injury riddled. 326 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.880 Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagne, Chris Paul eighty two games. We 327 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:37.480 know the story. This is crazy, right. We have not 328 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:42.559 been healthy all at once, and we're not going to 329 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:44.599 keep beating a dead horse on that. But I think 330 00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.880 we need to look at players that are possibly like 331 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.079 a nas Reed Steven Adams, if we can lock down 332 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.720 maybe one more shooter. You know who's out there. I 333 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.119 was talking to some of you Houston fans. A guy 334 00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.920 that's not being used right now is Reed Shepherd, a 335 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:02.880 guy that was talked about in the draft last year 336 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.319 for the Spurs. If we were able to trade for 337 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.480 a Reed Shepherd for a couple future picks, I'm sure 338 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:13.920 Houston would do that. But I think the unsung hero 339 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.960 on the bench you're gonna hear his name a lot 340 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:19.680 this year is Riley Minnis. Riley Minnicks has been traveling 341 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.319 with the team toward the end of the year. He 342 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.880 has a great shot from the outside. He had a 343 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.400 really good CHI League performance this year. But he's also 344 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.400 a free agent, so if the Spurs resigned him to 345 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.680 a two year deal, pay attention to Riley Minnix this year. 346 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:40.759 Let's pay attention to the NBA playoffs last night. Let's 347 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.359 start with the good and the ugly. That's basically what 348 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.839 these two games were last night the Indiana Pacers, depending 349 00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.319 on how you look at it. By the way, the 350 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:53.200 Indiana Pacers last night put up an eighty spot in 351 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.119 the first half on the alleged one of the best 352 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.279 defensive teams in the NBA, and Cleveland got it's full 353 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.039 strength back and they were getting blown out. This was 354 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:06.000 a case of one team was hot and one team 355 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.440 was not. It happens in the NBA a lot. We've 356 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:11.559 seen it here in yeah, San Antonio a lot Spurs 357 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.480 fans where one team just comes out hitting threes and 358 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.200 we're like, we can't come back from this deficit. And 359 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.720 I even told my family last night, we're watching the game. 360 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.400 I watched it through about five minutes into the third, 361 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:27.680 but at halftime, I said, you know, Cleveland's going to 362 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.319 make a run. This game is going to be under twenty. 363 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.000 And that's just the way it is because you don't 364 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.720 want to play your players all the way through. Pacers 365 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:38.000 want to close this series coming up. They're up three 366 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.319 to one. Now they are the biggest underdogs in the 367 00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:47.960 NBA playoffs. I love it. Now. We picked Oklahoma City 368 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.599 and Cleveland. We picked Oklahoma and City or now Oklahoma 369 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:54.079 City and the Celtics at the beginning of the year. Sorry, 370 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.119 we didn't think Cleveland would go there. They don't have 371 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:01.400 that playoff experience yet. And you're gonna go up possibly 372 00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:03.519 against a team like the Celtics, and that ain't even 373 00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:06.039 a given. Right Knicks fans, Knicks fans, you have been 374 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.559 coming out and tonight you guys will get an opportunity 375 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:13.000 at that game tonight too. The playoffs have been very interesting. 376 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.240 But going back to talking about possibly Oklahoma City landing 377 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.519 Yannis aka Patumbo, what if they threw somebody in there 378 00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:26.480 like a chet Holmgren injury riddled the last couple of years, 379 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.359 hasn't had a great playoff run. He seems like the 380 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.640 one that doesn't fit with the team right now. Harkenstein 381 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:35.880 is amazing. God it was the Spurs would have landed him. 382 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.599 Dort is awesome, SGA Jalen Williams. I think if you 383 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:46.480 move Holmgrin out, Jalen will blossom. Like Chris Mannix said 384 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:51.799 from SI, I think that's where you'll see him. But 385 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.920 last night Oklahoma City tying up that series against Denver 386 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.640 ninety two to eighty seven in the Battle of the MVPs. 387 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.319 We started the show today with who is your pick? 388 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:05.119 Katie and I kinda pulled the Politician review and said, well, 389 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.079 let's move on to something else. Well, we're not gonna 390 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.640 move on. Who do I think should have won MVP? Well, 391 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:16.640 I'm an SGA guy, but not for MVP. Ooh, I 392 00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.680 just kind of threw a boomerang at you guys right there. Honestly, 393 00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.119 I like SGA's game. I love the way he plays 394 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.119 like an old school guard. He reminds me of a 395 00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.680 taller Isaiah Thomas type player. He can shoot the ball, 396 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.480 mid range, pass the ball, great handles. I like SGA. 397 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.720 He's fun to watch and he's also somebody that takes 398 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.480 over a game. And I didn't realize that until we 399 00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:41.720 played that clip with Chris Mannix that SGA has been 400 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.640 in the league for a while and so he's not 401 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:49.240
