Speaker 1: You should know that the moon today is waxing crescent?
Speaker 2: Oh is it?
Speaker 3: Are you optimizing? Do you have an abundance mindset? I
Speaker 3: always have that.
Speaker 1: Are you optimizing? But I'm not necessarily in tune with
Speaker 1: the moon at the moment. I have to I have
Speaker 1: to look into that.
Speaker 3: Well, right now, it's a good time to optimize and
Speaker 3: have an abundance mindset. As the moon, Zach Harper currently
Speaker 3: as of today is waxing crescent.
Speaker 1: Are you prepared for tonight?
Speaker 2: You don't have to tell me. I looked at the
Speaker 2: moon last night. I saw that it was about to
Speaker 2: wax crescent, so I knew.
Speaker 3: The natural follow up is are you optimizing? Do you
Speaker 3: have an abundance mindset?
Speaker 2: I always have an abundance mindset. I wake up with
Speaker 2: an abundance mindset. I make sure that I speak it
Speaker 2: into existence. I go to bed with an abundance mindset.
Speaker 2: I manifest, I vision board, and I do it all.
Speaker 3: But are you practicing feeling the feeling even though the
Speaker 3: thing hasn't happened yet?
Speaker 1: Because Zach, what is meant for you will never be
Speaker 1: kept from you.
Speaker 2: Well, not only that, but I journal it.
Speaker 1: Oh, perfect, then you know what?
Speaker 2: Now? You put it in practice.
Speaker 3: I've got nothing to add. You are on your way,
Speaker 3: young man. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I've done a lot of practice
Speaker 2: with this one.
Speaker 1: More follow up? Are you dating with intention right now?
Speaker 2: You have to?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's new, that's new. I didn't know that was
Speaker 3: The thing is how long? How long has this been
Speaker 3: going on? You need to help me out.
Speaker 1: I'm new on the scene.
Speaker 2: Oh, dating with intention, that's about I would say, like
Speaker 2: dating in with intention and and being in a provider
Speaker 2: slash protector role has been about a six to seven
Speaker 2: month face Ah.
Speaker 3: Okay, well keep your phone on you because as I'm
Speaker 3: going through this process, I have a lot of questions.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, it's oh man, Yeah, I got I
Speaker 2: got you with any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I do I need some guidance? This
Speaker 1: is wild? All right? Isaiah Callier's optimizing? What transition? No
Speaker 1: big deal? All right?
Speaker 3: So the Jazz have sent out some media package to
Speaker 3: folks that are voters.
Speaker 1: Are you a voter?
Speaker 2: To you a voter? Aren't you? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, So my guess is you receive one of these
Speaker 3: and you know, Zach, it's the only postseason Award, the
Speaker 3: Jazz have any chance outside of maybe the number one
Speaker 3: overall pick, but we'll get there at a moment. And initially,
Speaker 3: like you hear like, hey, is Isaiah call your broke?
Speaker 3: John Stockton's assist record? Well, okay, Like John played eighteen
Speaker 3: minutes a night his rookie year, he played behind Ricky Green,
Speaker 3: he had five starts, so I think it's four hundred
Speaker 3: and seventy assists or whatever. But ultimately for a season
Speaker 3: that is void in bright spots for the team. When
Speaker 3: you look at the rookie class this year, Isaam might
Speaker 3: have a case to be made for first team, maybe
Speaker 3: second team, definitely all rookie.
Speaker 1: Do you think he has a chance.
Speaker 2: I don't think he has any kind of case for
Speaker 2: first team like that. That seems not possible to me
Speaker 2: because I think right off the rip, you've got Castle Wells,
Speaker 2: Resa che Ed Sar, and then Khalil Whar's in there two.
Speaker 2: You know, like I think six have a better case
Speaker 2: than he does. But then once you get past those,
Speaker 2: second team is definitely in a mix. Like I don't
Speaker 2: know that there is a strong case outside of those
Speaker 2: six that would bump him definitely out of out of
Speaker 2: all Rookie second team, and he's he's closed really well
Speaker 2: and even even though the team has been a mess, Like,
Speaker 2: I mean, he had a really good game the other night.
Speaker 2: Like he's he's playing better. You know, the shot making
Speaker 2: is whatever, He's making decent decisions out there. The assists
Speaker 2: have been there. You know. The scoring is kind of
Speaker 2: in and out, but like I think you're seeing it's
Speaker 2: it's tough to tell, but like I feel like you're
Speaker 2: seeing some progress there, right, Like he's definitely better than
Speaker 2: he was two months ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's thirty two from three since the All Star breaking. Look,
Speaker 3: that's not awesome, but it's better than like twenty two
Speaker 3: twenty one, which is where he was at to start
Speaker 3: the year.
Speaker 2: You know, right, Yeah, Like I don't know that the
Speaker 2: shot looks good, but it doesn't look atrocious. I think
Speaker 2: his shot decisions are better. And again, like I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel like we're saying the same things that we
Speaker 2: did well, I mean, maybe not the same things we
Speaker 2: did with Kante George, but similar things. You know. With that,
Speaker 2: it was the shot looks good he's taking you know,
Speaker 2: he creates good shots. Why aren't they going in? And
Speaker 2: that's what we saw at Baylor with with Collier, It's
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a different conversation in that he
Speaker 2: was a top prospect coming out of high school. I
Speaker 2: think the whole USC program and experience set him back.
Speaker 2: And now he's trying, you know, he and the Jazz
Speaker 2: are trying to correct whatever that year you know, kind
Speaker 2: of messed up for him and getting him in real
Speaker 2: basketball development, in a real program, in you know, a
Speaker 2: real abundance mindset when it comes to there you go
Speaker 2: and trying to correct you know, whatever stunt that that
Speaker 2: year had to his growth and and I do think
Speaker 2: it took him a little while to get into good habits.
Speaker 2: I think he's exhibiting good it's a good decision making
Speaker 2: whether the shots today or not. You're at least seeing
Speaker 2: a much different player from just a professionalism standpoint on
Speaker 2: the court than what we saw in the first half
Speaker 2: of the season. And that, I mean, if you're gonna
Speaker 2: take anything away from this mess of the season for
Speaker 2: the Jazz, that's a positive.
Speaker 1: So you bring up Kyante George, who's clearly not in
Speaker 1: the vortex. So let's let's move. I'm sorry, that's just
Speaker 1: I can't help.
Speaker 2: So this is great. I would do this every radio
Speaker 2: hit we do for the rest of the year if
Speaker 2: we can.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just you know, Kyante clearly is not
Speaker 3: manifesting like everything is always working out for me.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is repeating in the mirror.
Speaker 3: But look, we haven't talked about Kyante in a while,
Speaker 3: and anecdotally, somebody down with the team about three weeks
Speaker 3: ago said to me, like, you are higher on Keyante
Speaker 3: than they are behind the scenes. And I'm not that
Speaker 3: high on Kiante. He just listens to the show. I've
Speaker 3: just tried to take this positive spin wherever. Since he
Speaker 3: was brought off the bench, maybe he's settled into the
Speaker 3: role that I think he always was going to settle
Speaker 3: into no matter what, even when he was starting, even
Speaker 3: when he was the starting league guard.
Speaker 1: Way too many bad decisions.
Speaker 3: He might be among the worst defensive players in all
Speaker 3: of pro basketball. I'm getting the sense down there, Zach,
Speaker 3: that they don't really view him as part of their future,
Speaker 3: which is wild to think about because last year he
Speaker 3: was like the only young player that played well. So
Speaker 3: let's get up to date, Zach Harper take on the
Speaker 3: player that clearly is not in the vortex right now,
Speaker 3: Caante George.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels a little bit like when people talk like, oh,
Speaker 2: they have like a young child, and then a new
Speaker 2: baby comes into the mix, and now that baby gets
Speaker 2: all the yep the attention, right like Isaiah Collier is
Speaker 2: the new baby, and Kanty George has kind of been
Speaker 2: pushed aside. I feel like, look, I'm not watching every
Speaker 2: Jazz game front to back, but I feel like when
Speaker 2: I check in, like some of the games he has
Speaker 2: off the bench, I'm like, he was pretty good. Now
Speaker 2: the bar is very low, right, Like the bar for
Speaker 2: him is very low, And so I don't know if
Speaker 2: I'm judging that, Like I gotta be honest, like, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I'm judging that based on like what
Speaker 2: I expect out of a good NBA player or what
Speaker 2: I expect out of him in the Jazz And so
Speaker 2: it's probably what it's probably the latter. I think there
Speaker 2: is a good backup guard within his future. I do
Speaker 2: think the talent's there. The decision making has not been
Speaker 2: there in his in his time in the league so far,
Speaker 2: and like he has been in the league a while
Speaker 2: to still be making some of these mistakes. But also,
Speaker 2: you know, part of it. This is gonna be a
Speaker 2: weird comparison. But I've been taking like I've got a
Speaker 2: bunch of friends who are Blazers fans, and they keep
Speaker 2: like they've been complaining for three years now about Chauncey
Speaker 2: Billups as a coach, and I keep saying, Look, I
Speaker 2: have no idea I Chauncey Billups as a good coach.
Speaker 2: I do know he's never been given a good team
Speaker 2: because even when he took over, like those teams were
Speaker 2: injured right away and so he was tanking and not
Speaker 2: given like an actual Damian Lillard's season and not you know,
Speaker 2: and then finally you know, the trade away and everything.
Speaker 2: And he's been giving teams that are that are I
Speaker 2: guess in teardown years and then in rebuilding years, and
Speaker 2: so I have no idea if he can coach, like
Speaker 2: I have no idea. We saw a good stretch with
Speaker 2: the Blazers this year in the second half and it
Speaker 2: started looking promising, But I don't know if he's a
Speaker 2: good coach. With Kianty George, the Jazz have been such
Speaker 2: a mess in these tear down and rebuilding years. Maybe
Speaker 2: if you put him around actual good players, it would
Speaker 2: elevate his game, he wouldn't have to make so many decisions.
Speaker 2: It would, you know, kind of everything would rise up
Speaker 2: and kind of steady things for him. So maybe that
Speaker 2: is an environment he needs to be in. But man
Speaker 2: like it, just it do. It's not as promising as
Speaker 2: he wanted to be. And and when you get into
Speaker 2: the conversation of like, Okay, he could be a backup guard.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of backup guard options in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there were moments that he showed after he
Speaker 3: kind of was the only young player to get starts
Speaker 3: and minutes last year, like okay, maybe we got something here.
Speaker 3: But yeah, to your point about Isaiah, and you can
Speaker 3: talk about this with most of their young players, Zach.
Speaker 3: Which is why whenever I'm asked, I'm always asked the
Speaker 3: same question. If I go on other shows or do
Speaker 3: podcasts or even I'm talking to jazz fans, they always.
Speaker 1: Say, who will be here when they're good again?
Speaker 3: And I honestly, at this point it's probably and I
Speaker 3: don't know when that's gonna be. And Marketing is in
Speaker 3: his late twenties, Walker's about to be in his mid twenties.
Speaker 3: Like part of me wants to answer the question like
Speaker 3: there's a chance that none of these players are here
Speaker 3: when the Jazz are actually good again, because I have
Speaker 3: so many question marks about so many of them outside
Speaker 3: of marketing and Kessler, but because they're not close to
Speaker 3: being good again, I can't even say that Lowry and
Speaker 3: Walker will be here and the Jazz are actually good
Speaker 3: because I don't know when that's going to be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I guess I don't look at Lowry like
Speaker 2: if if they're calling this now like the actual rebuild,
Speaker 2: then I assume Lowry is, you know, this summer available, right,
Speaker 2: Like I like the whole reason that with the timing
Speaker 2: of the extension and everything was so that he wouldn't
Speaker 2: be traded this year. But I would assume teams are
Speaker 2: going to be interested in him this summer and you've
Speaker 2: got to do your due diligence to see what you
Speaker 2: can get for him and if that helps, you know,
Speaker 2: bring in assets of young players or whatever Danny Ainge
Speaker 2: and Justin Zanek are looking for. And so I wouldn't
Speaker 2: expect him to be here long term. If that's the case,
Speaker 2: then to me, you know, as nice as Collier has
Speaker 2: looked recently, like to me, Walker Kessler is the only
Speaker 2: guy who has a definite skill set for the NBA
Speaker 2: right now, and so he's the only one that I
Speaker 2: would say, like, yeah, he'll probably be here long term,
Speaker 2: but I don't, Yeah, I'm with you, Like I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. Like maybe if this
Speaker 2: kid gets healthy and and can show what he can
Speaker 2: do defensively on the court, maybe that's Taylor, you know,
Speaker 2: Like I don't. I don't know, Like don't, I don't
Speaker 2: know that they have those guys, which is kind of
Speaker 2: tough when you've been even drafting a bunch of dudes.
Speaker 2: You know, in the first round of the last couple
Speaker 2: of years.
Speaker 3: What is your favorite slash most accurate player comp for
Speaker 3: Cooper Flag. I've you know, as he has kind of
Speaker 3: played his way because a lot of people probably heard
Speaker 3: the name and then hadn't watched him play much. And
Speaker 3: then the tournament rolls around and everybody watches the tournament.
Speaker 3: So now you cannot log onto the intrawebs without getting
Speaker 3: another piece and a think piece about who Cooper Flag
Speaker 3: could be in the NBA. And sometimes the comp game
Speaker 3: can be a little bit frustrating because it puts on
Speaker 3: realistic expectations in the minds of fans. But this is
Speaker 3: a market that badly is hoping this pain tolerance pays off.
Speaker 3: And Cooper Flag is a jazz man. Of all the
Speaker 3: comps you've heard, Zach, what lands the best for you?
Speaker 2: Well, I saw someone passed one along to me the
Speaker 2: other day that they that they saw which I thought
Speaker 2: was insane, which was lamar Odom, which he like lamar
Speaker 2: Odom could handle the ball. Cooper Flag dribbles like at
Speaker 2: the football, Like I don't see that at all. But
Speaker 2: he can pass like a He's a good pass not
Speaker 2: like lamar Otum was, but he can pass. To me,
Speaker 2: I like, I'm sticking with Sean Marion. To me, he
Speaker 2: like he like he can shoot better than Sean Maryon.
Speaker 2: He can pass a little bit better, But in terms
Speaker 2: of athlete defensive impact, getting up and down the floor,
Speaker 2: the way he scores on the move, it reminds me
Speaker 2: a lot of Sean Marion, like with the Sons.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you know I've heard the Kawhi stuff.
Speaker 3: I feel like that's probably best case, So let me
Speaker 3: follow up here, just because it's of interest in the market.
Speaker 3: Sean Marion was really, really good at his peak. Okay,
Speaker 3: but he wasn't like generationally special cornerstone building blocks. So
Speaker 3: do you do you believe that if Cooper stays healthy
Speaker 3: he turned he just turned eighteen three months ago, if
Speaker 3: he stays healthy and is fully developed, you believe he
Speaker 3: can maybe have a better career than Sean Marriyan.
Speaker 1: And actually be a building block for a team.
Speaker 2: It's all going to depend on whether or not he
Speaker 2: becomes someone who can create off the dribble. He just
Speaker 2: can't right now. I don't understand what people are seeing
Speaker 2: when he tries to create, Like, yeah, it can work
Speaker 2: at the college level because like no one like you
Speaker 2: like watch him in the previous game that they played
Speaker 2: and pay attention to this weekend, whether they beat Houston
Speaker 2: or not. And he's from the great defensive test for
Speaker 2: him with just the bodies they can throw it him
Speaker 2: in the defense they can throw at him, It'll be
Speaker 2: a great test for how he creates shots because he's
Speaker 2: not strong at handling the ball. So all this stuff
Speaker 2: that he that he tries to do to create, none
Speaker 2: of that's going to work at the NBA level. It's
Speaker 2: all going to be set up off of his athleticism
Speaker 2: and in him on the move, which is fine. He's
Speaker 2: eighteen years old, like he's super young. He reclassified, so
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's younger than a prick would normally be.
Speaker 2: All this is fine, and he's got plenty of time
Speaker 2: to develop, But in terms of people thinking of him
Speaker 2: as like this guy who's going to be an offensive weapon,
Speaker 2: he can't dribble like he just he can't create a
Speaker 2: shot against NBA level defenders consistently within the flow of
Speaker 2: the game. And if you can't do that, I just
Speaker 2: don't know how I'm supposed to believe that you are
Speaker 2: a franchise level offensive player. It doesn't mean he can't
Speaker 2: get there. I just haven't seen it yet. There are
Speaker 2: times he tries to go left where he tries to
Speaker 2: go against against like even decent you know pressure, and
Speaker 2: he's kind of loose with the ball and he doesn't
Speaker 2: quite get there, and so that then he can't utilize
Speaker 2: his you know, his athleticism or his quickness. When he
Speaker 2: is able to get into space and you use that,
Speaker 2: these college players can't keep up with him. That's when
Speaker 2: he's dominant. But when he gets a little bit of
Speaker 2: physicality and a little bit of pressure and he doesn't,
Speaker 2: you're not able to use that. Then you see that
Speaker 2: loose handle, that inability to create. That's when it's a
Speaker 2: struggle for him. And that's what it's going to be
Speaker 2: at the NBA level. Until he can hone that craft.
Speaker 2: That might take a year, two years, five years. You know,
Speaker 2: hopefully it's on the on the shorter side of that
Speaker 2: and he is able to become that player right away
Speaker 2: because he does have so many other special skills. He'll
Speaker 2: be a good catch and shoot guy. He'll be a
Speaker 2: good guy who can make decisions off the short roll
Speaker 2: and moving the ball with the extra pass. He's going
Speaker 2: to be an excellent elite defender. All those things are great,
Speaker 2: but in terms of scoring, he's going to be limited
Speaker 2: until he can hemle a ball.
Speaker 3: Haberstrow this week on the show dropped the Kevin Garnett
Speaker 3: what do you think of that?
Speaker 2: That's insane? That Like it was insane when they did
Speaker 2: it with Anthony Davis. And is he better than Anthony
Speaker 2: Davis as the prospect? No?
Speaker 3: No, there are very few prospects that were better than
Speaker 3: ad coming out of college. A lot of people don't,
Speaker 3: you know, don't remember that, all right, let's move off
Speaker 3: the jazz for a moment, and you know, it's just
Speaker 3: time to say that it is okay seeing everybody else,
Speaker 3: and it has been for quite some time. Golden State,
Speaker 3: what is it twenty and four with Jimmy Butler. You know,
Speaker 3: they beat LA last night, you know, and everybody played,
Speaker 3: which is always nice because it gives you an idea
Speaker 3: of exactly what sort of hand we've been dealt. And
Speaker 3: every time I lock in on a Warriors game and
Speaker 3: Draymond looks like Draymond blowing up sets like he was,
Speaker 3: and of course Steph is still Steph, and you.
Speaker 1: Know, Jimmy's always a wild card.
Speaker 3: But it's probably time to say that, you know, Golden
Speaker 3: State needs to be taken a little more seriously than
Speaker 3: they have been prior to where we're at currently.
Speaker 1: Is that fair?
Speaker 2: I think so? I mean, I think they're right on
Speaker 2: the cuff there. You know, last night it looked better.
Speaker 2: But there's still plenty of games where they don't generate
Speaker 2: a lot of easy offense, you know, like there's it's
Speaker 2: still it's still like a lot of tough buckets to create. Now,
Speaker 2: sometimes Steph can make that easy. Sometimes Jimmy can make
Speaker 2: that easy. And there are times where they run a
Speaker 2: couple of plays where you know, they'll they'll run a
Speaker 2: dribble handoff, or they'll run a play where where Draymond's
Speaker 2: got the ball, you know, kind of on the elbow extended,
Speaker 2: and Jimmy's running a pick play with Steph, and Jimmy
Speaker 2: slips the screen because all that attention is going to
Speaker 2: Steph and he's got a you know, a wide open laft,
Speaker 2: wide open dunk, and it's just like that's unguardable. I
Speaker 2: don't know, I don't know where you put your attention
Speaker 2: on that. And so they can they can get some
Speaker 2: easy buckets. But for the most part, I still think
Speaker 2: some of their offense is a slog now that can
Speaker 2: be held by kuminga stepping up and getting into a
Speaker 2: flow or you know, last night, Pachemski shot out of
Speaker 2: his mind. He's not a shooter like that, So that
Speaker 2: was a big bonus for them. If Buddy Healed starts
Speaker 2: shooting like he's supposed to be shooting, that helps a lot.
Speaker 2: But their offense still isn't as smooth as it needs
Speaker 2: to be, or it has been in their previous championship years.
Speaker 2: But man, Their defense is elite. Their defense is so
Speaker 2: good with Jimmy in the mix, and I think they're
Speaker 2: right on the cusp of being there. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you other than OKC you want me to like put
Speaker 2: them up against like a Denver or the Lakers or anybody,
Speaker 2: I'll put them ahead of everybody else in the West.
Speaker 2: It's just we got to see what okay See looks
Speaker 2: like in the playoffs, you know for sure.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you about two teams, because every week
Speaker 3: we do this thing where Okay, we all agree that
Speaker 3: okay See is historic.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Lakers get Luca. Do we like them? Of course?
Speaker 2: Yo?
Speaker 1: Kitches Yo kitch Denver's Denver.
Speaker 3: But are you buying anything about the recent run from
Speaker 3: either the Clippers or Kawhi's back? And I know you
Speaker 3: always say that clips are gonna clip? Are you buying
Speaker 3: anything about the recent run and play of either Clippers
Speaker 3: or the Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Clippers look great, right, But I mean
Speaker 2: we can't do this every year. I know, you know,
Speaker 2: like and nobody wants to believe in Kawhi being back
Speaker 2: more than me. I mean, he is my favorite. Like,
Speaker 2: I love Kawhi and I want him to be healthy
Speaker 2: and I want to see another playoff run because he's
Speaker 2: just I mean, he is a great show when when
Speaker 2: he's healthy. But I just can't believe in it like
Speaker 2: it's and even and even if he is healthy, as
Speaker 2: good as they've been, I don't know that I want
Speaker 2: to believe in this version of James Harden stepping up
Speaker 2: and being the number two guy. I just I think
Speaker 2: there's a little bit missing there. Maybe that's Norm Powell,
Speaker 2: maybe that's Zubox who's been incredible, but there's just there's
Speaker 2: something missing there. But but the Clippers are dangerous. Wouldn't
Speaker 2: want to play them in the first round. The Timberwolves,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's still a lot of Julius Randall,
Speaker 2: you know, it's a lot of Julius Randall at times.
Speaker 2: And Aunt can go super nova and he can he
Speaker 2: can make up for a lot of that. We saw that.
Speaker 2: I mean, he was at a terrible game against Denver
Speaker 2: that night and then he just went crazy in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and picked them up. And he can do
Speaker 2: that like he's you know, with the way he fixed
Speaker 2: his shot, he is he is still great and capable
Speaker 2: of taking over, but he still makes some pretty rough
Speaker 2: decisions at times. Uh, and and it kind of comes
Speaker 2: down to like, is McDaniel's going to make shots? Is
Speaker 2: Mikail Alexander Walker gonna make shots? I don't. Even though
Speaker 2: they shoot well, I never fully try trust that they're
Speaker 2: that you know, that shot looks good to me, and
Speaker 2: I just I don't trust Julius Randall. But but they
Speaker 2: do seem to have some advantages over really good teams.
Speaker 2: I mean, they they own Denver over the last six year,
Speaker 2: They've beaten them six straight games, dating back to the
Speaker 2: playoffs with game six and seven. And that's another team.
Speaker 2: With the way Ant goes and the way their size is.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't trust them, but also wouldn't want to play them.
Speaker 3: Are you hesitant to annoying the Clippers because of Kali's
Speaker 3: seeming inability to balance the masculine and the feminine energy.
Speaker 2: No, it's mostly that James Harden sucks in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, just kicking the tires.
Speaker 3: I have an idea, guy, all right, Zach, before I
Speaker 3: say you lose, I mean watching Yoki, it's a sixty
Speaker 3: points triple doubles.
Speaker 1: So dumb and so like, Yeah, MVP, where ye at?
Speaker 1: Where are you at right.
Speaker 2: Now, I just it's two historic seasons. Yep, it is,
Speaker 2: And like, I don't I hate that everyone's dismissing the
Speaker 2: historic season that that Shay is having. Everyone wants to
Speaker 2: talk like, well, yeah, but Yoki is doing that. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 2: but no one's done what Sheha's done, right, Like, it's
Speaker 2: different values of what you want to talk about. And
Speaker 2: what Yoki is doing is historic, but so is Shay,
Speaker 2: and so I don't want to ignore that. To me,
Speaker 2: it's even enough that at least right now, and I
Speaker 2: got another week to flip flop on this, but at
Speaker 2: least right now, I think the team dominance of Okay, see,
Speaker 2: Like I think the winning is the is the tiebreaker
Speaker 2: for me. Like I'm gonna keep re evaluating and see,
Speaker 2: but I think the winning has to matter, you know,
Speaker 2: I just do. And when you look at the impact
Speaker 2: that Yokic has on and off the floor with Denver,
Speaker 2: it is obviously severe. Go look at the numbers of
Speaker 2: when Shay is on versus when Shay is off. It
Speaker 2: is kind of a like it's closer to a coin
Speaker 2: flip than you would think when he's off the floor,
Speaker 2: and it is historically dominant when he's on the floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: If I had a vote, I'd give it to Shay.
Speaker 3: But I'm not mad at any he gives it to
Speaker 3: Jokics because he's awesome.
Speaker 2: I don't fault you for voting for Jokics. I just
Speaker 2: I think I'm leaning Shay right now.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm with you, all right.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put this out into the universe that this weekend, Zach,
Speaker 3: you will find your vibrational match.
Speaker 1: Best of luck with that and good chatting.
