WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.240 Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. 2 00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:20.839 Basketball fans, San Antonio Spurs fans, welcome to an electrifying 3 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.039 edition in a new world with a new team and 4 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:31.399 also your favorite host, a man of the Black and Silver. 5 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.320 As a fan of over forty years. 6 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.520 Damn right, yell, we too, a man in the realm 7 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.320 of comedy over twenty years. 8 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:47.200 Here he is your host, Jay Dizzle. What is going on, 9 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:52.520 Spurs fans? Yes, keep that music pumped, Go Spurs Go. 10 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.799 It is Monday and here in San Antonio, we are 11 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.479 very excited to talk a little bit about the recent 12 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:05.879 trade here in San Antonio that brings Dearn Fox Star, 13 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.920 a stud an All Star, to pair with Victor Winbinyama 14 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.959 and more with this great young Spurs team. We're gonna 15 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.159 talk a little bit about that. We're gonna talk about 16 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.920 how our GM should definitely win GM of the Year 17 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:25.040 in San Antonio, not the Lakers and Luka Donich. Just 18 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:28.040 because you have the fattest, deepest pockets doesn't make you 19 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.879 the best GM, especially with this move here in San Antonio. 20 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.920 We'll get in depth a little bit. I know some 21 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.799 of you have seen it on ESPN. You've also seen 22 00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.879 it on other sources like TSR Sports on Yahoo. I've 23 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.319 got to say TSR Sports usually has a really good 24 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.519 breakdown on YouTube. Check them out. Our friends at the 25 00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.719 Baseline Bums, same thing, man, they have put together some 26 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.920 good stuff. But we told you we're gonna bring you 27 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.760 a show. When the news breaks. And I had to 28 00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.359 sit on this for a minute because it was like Christmas. 29 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.319 I wasn't too sure if we actually got what we 30 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.040 wanted for Christmas Day, if you know what I mean. 31 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:05.319 You know, we open up the gift and we're like, 32 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:12.599 this is true. We got this. Because the Spurs have 33 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.960 some of the best poker faces in the NBA. They 34 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.719 don't allow a lot out there to the public or 35 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.919 their fans, and it feels like they're stringing us along 36 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.319 at times, right Spurs fans, it really does. We're sitting 37 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.479 here going, I don't think they're going to make any moves. 38 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.680 I think they're gonna stick with just this young team 39 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.080 and let it grow and then in the next six years, 40 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.199 you know, we'll finally make an NBA final. Well, when 41 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.560 you got a generational talent in year two that is 42 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.120 one of the top ten players in the NBA already, 43 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.000 someone who is being talked about as MVP early on, 44 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.719 which Victor Winbiama has now slipped to tenth, which is 45 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.199 interesting to me. But we've had a couple games slide here. 46 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.599 But let's see what happens the second half of the season. 47 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:01.280 Here for the Spurs doing this trade before going on 48 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.319 the Rodeo road trip, it's fantastic. I think this is 49 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:10.199 a great thing because this is gonna develop that camaraderie 50 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.000 on the road, going out to dinner, going out to places, 51 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.520 talking on the plane, watching a lot of film together. 52 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.080 And this really catches a deer and fox up with 53 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.039 this Furs team. We're gonna talk about that. We're gonna 54 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:26.719 talk about the Lakers trade as well. We're gonna talk 55 00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.439 about how that changes the dynamics of the Lakers a 56 00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.080 little bit. But this is a great way to start 57 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.479 a Monday, don't you think here in San Antonio? And 58 00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.120 I think we can start it a little better. And 59 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:43.479 let's get it hight. Let's go Spurs fans, let's go. 60 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:48.719 Are you not entertained? Is this not what you came for? 61 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.000 You got that right? If you want some cum gins, 62 00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.960 you've got that here in San Antonio. Right now. With 63 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:04.240 that recent trade, very very exciting. It's going to be 64 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.840 bittersweet a little bit because when you're a Spurs fan, 65 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.879 let's back the truck up. You can hear the excitement 66 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.919 in my voice. But we need to talk about what 67 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.240 the Spurs lost. Now. When it comes to players, you 68 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:19.399 never want to lose players that were such good players 69 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.319 to the fans, players that were good in the community, 70 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:30.920 players that were team players. Zach Collins, Trey Jones is 71 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.600 going to be missed now. Last year, I thought if 72 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.120 the Spurs didn't make a move, Trey would have been 73 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.800 that guy. I thought he would have learned and flourished 74 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.399 underneath Chris Paul. I did not, and maybe you did 75 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.560 not expect Stefan Castle to be the stud that he is. 76 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:52.639 Stefan Castle has very much improved his game underneath the 77 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:56.199 tutelage of Chris Paul. Now, can you imagine what's going 78 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:03.120 to happen with Paul and Fox with Castle's game. Castle's 79 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.560 Game's about ready to explode. I think everybody's game is 80 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:10.360 about ready to explode. I think this gives players definitely 81 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.959 an idea of their roles on this. This relieves a 82 00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:20.040 shoulder off of Chris Paul's chest and Victor Wembiniama's chest. 83 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:23.680 Victor won't have to feel like he has to go 84 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.879 out there every night and try to get forty. He 85 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.399 can have mid twenties, high thirties. He can be almost 86 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.240 Yannis like, which we'll talk about that Milwaukee game, Chris 87 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.560 Paul's scrummle just a little bit. Spurs had a one 88 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.199 in one weekend, of course, dropping one to Miami at 89 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.360 the buzzer man bam a bio, bam a bio, bam 90 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.879 a bio said bam at the end of the game. 91 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.720 And Miami dropped us one five, one oh three. But 92 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.360 we didn't have Wemby. This shows you the heart of 93 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:01.079 the team. When Wemby's out of the lineup, we're we 94 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.319 really are. Even though we didn't shoot very well from 95 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.199 the field. We hung in that game. And back to 96 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.480 backs are tough, which we know. You're cana have a 97 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.319 great shooting night one night, which we did against the Bucks. 98 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.600 I mean, how can we put up that many points? 99 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:18.199 Who again, San Antonio look like the team of the 100 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.399 future when they play that way and then the next 101 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.000 night they only put up one oh three. That's without Victor. 102 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.920 Victor's in the lineup, maybe twenty twenty five Spurs win 103 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:36.800 by eighteen. Now with this trade here in San Antonio, 104 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.600 I have a little clip from Bill Simmons. Of course, 105 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.040 Bill Simmons is an underlying Spurs fan. Of course, just 106 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.160 like Rachel Beatle in the media market. So let's check 107 00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.240 out what Bill has to say. 108 00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.519 It just feels like an incredible career move for Fox. 109 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.399 It really does. It's like, Wow, I totally get what 110 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.439 you're thinking here, this interesting moment for Darren Fox. We 111 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.759 see these guys call their shot, these guys that push 112 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.360 them pushed their way to another team. They're usually about 113 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.600 half a level higher than Darren Fox, or they have 114 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.560 some sort of playoff pedigree, like in Jimmy Butler's case. 115 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:11.519 In this case, he doesn't have it. I think he's 116 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.800 a player we've all thought was really talented. He's about 117 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.439 to in his late twenties. We've seen him in the playoffs. 118 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.199 He'd leap out in any great way. It's not like 119 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.920 some Anthony Davis that one year in the playoffs when 120 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.279 he just laid waste to the Blazers. He doesn't have 121 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:25.920 any of that, And I think we all think he's 122 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.639 really good. But now this spotlight is completely different. You're 123 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.680 playing in Sacramento, you're buried, You're just another team in 124 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.279 the West with all these famous players and teams. Now 125 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.680 you're playing with the most famous international player that this 126 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:37.439 league's going to have. 127 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:40.439 And that's a great thing about San Antonio right now. 128 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.839 In the de Aaron Fox trade, great take by Bill Simons, 129 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.319 Also Denny Green. Can we give Denny Green a round 130 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.879 of applause? Denny, if you're out there listening, man, you 131 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.480 called it, you said, this is a great fit for 132 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.600 san Antonio. A great fit for de Aaron Fox for 133 00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.959 a couple of reasons. One, his taxes. Think about this, 134 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.279 when you're making millions of dollars in California, you're getting 135 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.800 robbed in Texas. When you come to Texas, it's a 136 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.879 considerably slower amount. Save in a little bit of money 137 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:10.800 that helps your family in the future. It also helps 138 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.279 your next contract as well when you go into negotiations 139 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:17.160 what the Spurs are going to need in twenty twenty six. 140 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.360 I was a little nervous about this trade because of 141 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:25.319 him next year being a free agent. But according to sources, 142 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.120 they are saying that they wouldn't have signed this deal 143 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.920 given up what they gave up if he wasn't going 144 00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.240 to stay, this is a perfect opportunity for Fox too. 145 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:37.159 When it came to Denny Green, Denny Green stated that 146 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.639 he doesn't want to be the it guy. He never has. 147 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.600 He wants to go out and ball and win. In Sacramento, 148 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.879 he was given a lot of minutes. I was looking 149 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.720 at his stats last night, thirty three and a half minutes. 150 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.200 He was playing almost thirty five at times. That puts 151 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:57.440 a lot on young legs, especially a point guard. So 152 00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.320 now coming over to San Antonio, where it looks like 153 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.960 Chris Paul may go to the bench, I don't think 154 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.480 for the first week or so you'll see Dearan in 155 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.440 the starting lineup. I'd be shocked. If they throw him 156 00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:12.600 right in, I'd be shocked. Chris Paul has this team running. 157 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.720 I think him and Chris Paul are gonna split that 158 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.320 time pretty equally, and that's great for Fox. Ease him in. 159 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:23.919 San Antonio is a great place for load management. They 160 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:25.759 really are. They know when to give and they know 161 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.799 when to take away. Chris Paul, this helps him out 162 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.960 a lot. A man that can play only probably twenty 163 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.679 five minutes. We've seen his minutes go down a little bit. 164 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.639 He can average ten points and eight assists. He can 165 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.600 definitely get you those seven assists a game, and that 166 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.679 was something we were missing off the bench. Let's be true. 167 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:48.320 Let's be honest. Trey Jones had flashes of that where 168 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.840 he could get six or seven assists a night and 169 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.519 get that second team going. But now, if you look 170 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:59.960 at this second team, Chris Paul, Mamu Bassie, you're also 171 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:05.519 looking at the likes of Kelden Johnson, Julian Champenne. That's 172 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.240 a solid second team with a floor general like Chris Paul. 173 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.960 That's gonna get Julian some more open shots. Can you 174 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:15.039 imagine the pick and roll scenario with Chris Paul and Johnson. 175 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.399 I think this is a really good move for San Antonio. 176 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:21.360 So somebody you are saying, well, Dearon Fox is going 177 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.879 to be in the starting lineup, Absolutely, Dearon Fox will 178 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.320 be your starting point guard in San Antonio and especially 179 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.639 for the future. Chris Paul knows that. That's why he 180 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:31.919 signed a one year contract. They knew they were going 181 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.000 to look for somebody else down the line. A lot 182 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.799 of people thought Chris Paul would be moved at the 183 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.360 trade deadline, but I honestly believe that would mess up 184 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.879 the camaraderie at the Spurs. Another great job by the Spurs. 185 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:48.080 GM Brian Wright has done an amazing job. Not only 186 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:51.759 did we trade Zach Collins and trade Jones, who are 187 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.799 going to be very well missed in San Antonio when 188 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.320 it comes to the way they are in types of 189 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:02.399 people they are. Collins had a rough year. Zach had 190 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.679 a rougher year than I think most of us imagined. 191 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.960 A go get her, a hustler on the floor. He's 192 00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.799 going to be a nice backup to Vusevich now in Chicago. 193 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.559 Trey Jones going to be a nice backup off the 194 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.840 bench for the Bulls. But those two may not even 195 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.919 be there by the end of the year anyway. They 196 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:26.519 may finish out their year in Chicago and Bedell elsewhere. 197 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.879 And they are players that are always going to be 198 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.600 remembered here in San Antonio, you know, a part of 199 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:40.879 that transitional era, and that transition era is now and 200 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:44.679 they're doing it for Wehm Binyama. Speaking of Victor Wehm Binyama, 201 00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:47.120 what a class act. Can we give him a round 202 00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:52.679 of applause as well? Excuse me? The reason is, you 203 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.399 could have a young player get frustrated pretty easy. You 204 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.399 could have a generational young player get very frost traded, 205 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.759 if you know what I mean. We've seen it with 206 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.399 some of the old head players in the NBA getting frustrated. 207 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.159 I just don't want to play anymore. They're taking away 208 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:14.480 the joy of basketball from a Jimmy Butler. The Anthony 209 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.879 Edwards types who complain and whine. Don't get me wrong, 210 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:21.480 I love those players. I love watching them. I love 211 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.279 cheering for them when the Spurs are not in the playoffs, 212 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:29.000 I love cheering for their game. With a lot of 213 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.279 the analysis, who thought that Jimmy Butler was coming to 214 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:37.000 San Antonio your nuts. We even played a what if 215 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.200 city situation here on the show a few months back. 216 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.480 What if san Antonio goes after Anthony Edwards in the 217 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:49.320 next couple of years. That's why they traded Rob Dillingham. 218 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:52.759 You can see Rob Dillingham now getting some playing time. 219 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.360 Aren't you glad we traded him? Though? I think he 220 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.960 has tremendous upside, But I don't think he has the 221 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:04.720 upside that castle. With that being said, Anthony Edwards types 222 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.799 Butler types don't fit the mold of what a spur is. 223 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.600 Victor winmin Yama gets a round of applause because in 224 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.960 the media he just comes right out and says, I 225 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.960 trust our GM, I trust our management staff that they're 226 00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.080 going to do the right thing at the trade deadline. 227 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.240 He doesn't come out and say, we're struggling, we need 228 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.799 to do something. We got to make some changes, We've 229 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:34.799 got to get some people out of here. He doesn't 230 00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.120 do that because a disreps team chemistry doesn't look like 231 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:42.679 a pre Madonna unlike some other players that we notably 232 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.399 talk about a lot Lebron on the Lakers, and we'll 233 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.159 talk about that in a minute before we get out 234 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:51.200 of here. But the projected starting lineup here now in 235 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:54.399 San Antonio, man, it just looks good. As a matter 236 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.960 of fact, I changed my screensaver. I'm a tablet because 237 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:04.360 of it. And now the future of this team, the 238 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.480 future I believe Harrison Barnes will move to the bench 239 00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:12.159 and Jeremy Sohan will eventually come in. We need a 240 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.159 power power forward. If you're gonna keep Victor at center, 241 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.440 you need someone who's gonna bruise and bang underneath and 242 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:25.120 take some of that banging off of Victor, someone that 243 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.519 can switch over on a Yannis and bang Yanis for 244 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.639 a couple plays. Somebody that they can nab, like a 245 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.799 brandon Ingram, someone they can nab like we've been saying 246 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.080 Junis Valcunis out of Washington. I don't think the Spurs 247 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.480 are done yet. I think they'll get one more piece. 248 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:45.960 I do not think they're done right now. Projected starting 249 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.639 lineup though, for the second half of the season for 250 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.799 the Spurs de Aaron Fox, Steph Castle, the Sell, Barnes, 251 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:56.320 Wimban Yama. I'd like this for right now because Fox 252 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.519 and Barnes have played together. Fox knows where to get 253 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.360 Harrison the ball, knows when to get Harris in the ball. 254 00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:07.039 I really like it. I think this is going to 255 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.679 free up Devon as well. Devon, if you're out there listening, 256 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.759 you don't have to be the killer anymore. You can 257 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.639 remain the player that you are where you're picking your spots. 258 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.679 I also saw an article just the other night about 259 00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:25.559 how Devin Vessell doesn't come out and really play hard 260 00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:29.200 unless we're up or we're down. That's when you see 261 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:33.120 his stats increase. So Devin, if you're out there listening, 262 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:38.559 make those people eat their lunch. I believe if you 263 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:43.279 can stay at consistent fifteen to twenty, Barnes needs to 264 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.879 get fifteen to twenty. He just has to. We need 265 00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:50.960 those couple threes to extend the floor. Castle's in that 266 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:56.200 range right now. If Castle develops this jumper, this is crazy. 267 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:01.399 Dearin Fox is such a great additions per fans that 268 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:07.200 we finally got a score that averages twenty five or more, 269 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:13.919 not can average. We have a lot of can averages 270 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.799 on this team. Keldon can hit twenty, so In can 271 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:26.679 hit twenty. The cel can hit twenty. Dearon Fox definitely 272 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.600 hits twenty. I should have rephrased that may hit twenty. 273 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.360 We have a lot of great young talent on this 274 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.440 team that may average. De Aaron can there you go? 275 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.399 Victor woman Yama, we know what he can do. How 276 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.080 about this pick and roll situation? Now? With dearon Fox, 277 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.360 we didn't see Lobb City quite work, did we. We 278 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.559 see it from time to time, but we expected the 279 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.240 old day Clippers here in San Antonio. That's not gonna happen. 280 00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:03.039 I think paying for Chris Paul's knowledge was so worth it, 281 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.519 and is so worth it will Chris Paul come back 282 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:09.519 next year. I think it depends on where the Spurs 283 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:13.400 finish this year. What if the Spurs can contend for 284 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:17.480 the eight spot? I mean you're going to see probably 285 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.200 Dallas struggle for a little bit. Who's going to score 286 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.400 on that team? Yes, a d but now you've got 287 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:27.839 to change your dynamic of that team from a kind 288 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:30.319 of push it up the floor. Luca can hit three 289 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.480 type presents to a defensive, slow down presence. With all 290 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:39.440 the big men, you have Derek Lively, now you also 291 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.599 have ad You have a cast of others that play 292 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.640 really well in Dallas. And can Kyrie be that man? 293 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.799 Can Kyrie be the it guy in Dallas? A lot 294 00:17:53.799 --> 00:18:00.000 of what ifs Dallas? The Lakers? What about the Lakers? 295 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:05.039 I love Luca Man, I love Luca. Our A preseason 296 00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:12.799 pick that win the West was Dallas. Now they've fallen apart. Luca. 297 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:19.480 I pray that he has an amazing run in him left. 298 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.000 And I'm not saying it like he's finished, but he 299 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.079 puts a lot of load on his back where he 300 00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:27.799 eats up a lot of minutes. You can see that 301 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.119 he was hurting. The playoffs last year carried over to 302 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:35.480 this year. Him not playing a lot this year cost 303 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:39.799 him a lot of awards. Maybe it's a fresh start 304 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:46.799 in La. Can Luca handle that type of limelight? Can 305 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:49.640 Lebron James work with somebody like that? We've seen it 306 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:53.160 try to work before you brought in ad Ooh yes, 307 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.079 Laker fans, you got one ring, one ring, just like 308 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.960 you guys say, nobody wants that Mickey Mouse ring from 309 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.000 we want a real ring. Now. I'm not saying that, 310 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.960 y'all fans have said that because you know it was bogus. 311 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:13.240 The NBA was down in viewership ticket sales because of COVID. 312 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.400 So what do they do do They write the script 313 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:22.799 for Lebron to win one? Absolutely, and I know some 314 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.319 of y'all are laughing right now, but if that wasn't 315 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:30.559 the case, the Lakers would have won not one, not two, 316 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:35.960 not three, not four, not five. You would have won 317 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.119 more than one in the past five years. Now, adding Luca, 318 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.759 I think the people that are gonna flourish for the 319 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:50.720 Lakers Dalton connect and reeves they are going to benefit 320 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:56.440 from Luca's passing knowledge. Lebron can move over a little 321 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:01.960 bit benefit as well well, and a little bit of 322 00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.960 load off of him. But I still think the Lakers 323 00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.279 bench is weak, so we'll see what happens there. But 324 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.160 back here in San Antonio, it may not have been 325 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:16.119 the blockbuster trade like Luca being traded, but man, it 326 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.480 was close enough with Deer and Fox. Now come into 327 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.319 San Antonio a man that averages twenty five points in 328 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.039 his career, five rebounds, and six assists, and he's in 329 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.680 the top ten in pick and roll scenarios. Look what 330 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:33.400 he did with Sabonis in Sacramento. Now he adds Victor 331 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.039 more height, he can throw the ball up a little higher. 332 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.039 He goes from a power player to you could say, 333 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:46.759 a finesse player right now. Once he adds on that weight, though, lookout, 334 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:48.720 I really think he's going to be about the size 335 00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.480 of Janniska Patumbo. I do. I think Victor is going 336 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:57.559 to be that big within the next three to four years. 337 00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:00.920 Speaking of that big game in Santa Antonio, let's take 338 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.039 a step back and look at the Spurs a couple 339 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.279 nights ago. Of course, it's been a pretty good couple 340 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.279 of days here in San Antonio. We already talked about 341 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.839 the heat game where we dropped. That game was a 342 00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:16.759 back to back and of course the heat one at 343 00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:19.440 the buzzer on that one is going to be a 344 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:21.240 tough month for the Spurs. So let's see what they 345 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.640 end up doing here. And they started off in a 346 00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:31.440 good way by ending January with blowing out the Bucks. 347 00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:35.039 Did anyone see this coming? Even your boy thought this 348 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:39.119 would be a rough one or a close one against 349 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:43.079 the Bucks. The main story in this one was how 350 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:48.079 the Spurs shot lights out, how the Spurs and that 351 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:53.240 future looked. Wem ben Yama and Castle combining for fifty 352 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:59.599 wem Benyama and Castle combining for twenty two rebounds. Castle 353 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:03.079 was a great game twenty points, eight rebound, six assists 354 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:09.759 against the Bucks. Keldon Johnson saying I don't want to 355 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:12.039 be traded. I don't want to be traded, came out 356 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.880 with twenty four. The man looked like Michael Jordan in 357 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.920 this one. Watch his game, hitting jumpers from the corner, 358 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:21.680 mid range shots, taking it to the hoops, spreading the 359 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.599 legs like Jordan. That is the kJ we want to 360 00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:28.359 see off the bench every night. kJ, every freaking night. 361 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:32.279 You're a monster. And now you have Chris Paul coming 362 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:37.640 in possibly off the bench with you. Boy, You're gonna flourish. 363 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.680 Let's get that sixth Man of the Year award. I 364 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:45.000 think you can make a run for it. Jeremy Sohan 365 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:50.519 still continues to struggle, though I think it's his back. 366 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.279 Two points, seven rebounds, two assists. So this is why 367 00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:58.960 you're not gonna see Sohan move into that starting lineup 368 00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:01.440 just yet. But I mean, can you think about it. 369 00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.960 Chris Paul makes players better, right, So now he moves 370 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:09.559 to the bench. He's gonna make Johnson and Sohand better 371 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:13.079 and Champagne better. Hey, he's gonna tell you, Champagne move 372 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.400 without the ball, move get open. You see him do 373 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:18.559 it on the floor. Now with Victor, you see him 374 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.240 do it with Castle the cell. Well, now he's like 375 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.160 a proud papa saying, I'm pushing you out of the nest. 376 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.759 The starting five is yours. I'm gonna kick back here 377 00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:34.920 for a few once Dearon gets inundated, and then it's y'all, 378 00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:41.559 let's pretend to put Dearon Fox into the lineup, okay, 379 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:48.039 and give him that twenty points a game. So when Biama, sorry, 380 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.559 I said that, very very funky. When Victor is averaging 381 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:57.759 twenty five, Taron averages twenty five. If Castle averages twenty, 382 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:03.400 right there, friends, that's seventy points. That's your big three. 383 00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:07.200 Vicel now can be that laid back guy that can 384 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.200 hit for fifteen. That's eighty five. Barnes on any given 385 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:17.240 night can give you fifteen. That's one hundred points from 386 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:20.960 your starters. Now you move Paul to the bench, who 387 00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.039 as of late, he can get you double digits. He 388 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.720 can hit a couple threes when we need it. Say 389 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.279 he gives you ten off the bench. But Kelden's gonna 390 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:31.720 give you now that fifteen points, there's twenty five. That's 391 00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.240 one twenty five. Right there, folks, we're in the mix. 392 00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:41.799 We're in the mix. A lot of you out there 393 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.759 too have sent me emails and texts. Do you really 394 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.960 think Dearon is a great fit in San Antonio. He's 395 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.160 the only guy this year to score sixty. I'm gonna 396 00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:56.519 say that again. He's the only guy in the NBA 397 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.359 this year. He was the first to score sixty. Can 398 00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:04.039 you imagine if there's a night where the rest of 399 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:05.880 the team is off, but Victor and him are on, 400 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:12.519 they could have one hundred points together. That's scary. That 401 00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:19.119
