Joined this morning by my two esteemed co-hosts on my left. I got my brother, Bishop Henderson, to my right. My brother, T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? Good morning, Brody. Good morning, good morning. Let's get to it, Nasty. I'm copywriting that.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Damn, you're going to put him in a lawsuit. After you copyright you, that's crazy. Putting you in the 360 deal with your own phrase is crazy. It's crazy, man. But so listen, man, before we get to it today, a couple of things. Adam Schefter put out a report today. The gentleman who hit Trevor Lawrence from Houston, Texas, me and my man Aziz up.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I forgot his last name. Let me get his name all the way correct. But he got suspended three games for that hit. Damn. Yeah. Them game checks too, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's tough.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Especially then. I wonder how much he was making. I mean, honestly, I think he got lucky with that. I think in a different time, obviously, they would have probably been nothing. You know, if this was like four or five years back, it would probably have just been a play on. But, man, only three games. So the. You know, if this was like four or five years back, it would probably have just been a play on. But, man,
Starting point is 00:03:25 only three games for the reactions that he got from some of the players. I think that's the crazy part about it is you look at the coaches, you look at everybody
Starting point is 00:03:31 else around the league who was talking about the hit, that was just like, nah, that's some dirty shit. Yeah, that was.
Starting point is 00:03:35 What's that boy's name that used to crash out on the Lions? The lineman. On the Lions? Oh, Dominick Hensou? Oh,
Starting point is 00:03:41 Dominick Hensou used to wild out. He used to wild out. What's my boy? Strong, man, strong as hell now. Steelers. Oh, Dominick Hensou? Oh, Dominick Hensou used to wild out. He used to wild out. My boy, Strong, man, Strong as hell now. Steelers.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh, James Harrison? Yeah. I still don't want no Schmuck. Man, now, hell no. He one of the strongest people on earth. And what's crazy is
Starting point is 00:03:55 the rebrand for Ryan Clark has been crazy because when Ryan Clark played football, he was a fucking demon. Yeah, he used to hit people. What is that a point? Hey, you out of pocket, bro.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Freaky Mike pulling up. We talking sports. He still Mariah Milne from yesterday that boy went back in the fog they talking about hell damage where he went to go tap in to the real hurricane shout out to Freaky Mike shout out to Freaky Mike hey did y'all see OG 520 Alumni, Mad Max?
Starting point is 00:04:29 Did y'all see his PSA yesterday? Oh, my God. Shout out to Mad Max. Whoever that dude is, he need to pay. That weak-ass nigga. He said broke. Broke-ass nigga. Broke with the roaches in the street.
Starting point is 00:04:43 In Memphis. You don't want to owe nobody no money in Memphis. It's crazy. He was talking exactly where he was at. He didn't know he was about to shout out the block, dude. Oh, God, he was. Listen, I don't want to owe nobody no money, but one of the people I definitely don't want to owe
Starting point is 00:04:53 is Mad Max, man. It's facts. He done sold his money, man. Yeah, man, we going to send his gift well soon. I'll be his parlay today, man. He got to be able to get paid. So you working for him on his behalf, bro, because he got to pay Mad Max back, man.
Starting point is 00:05:03 For sure. Listen, man, yo your Timberwolves took care of business yesterday. Built ass against the Lakers. 109-80. Teague always says, if you don't score 100, you don't win. We played a weak team. We still building, so it is what it is, man.
Starting point is 00:05:17 The Lakers, man, they got to figure out a combination like when Austin Reeves don't play. They ball moving and they combination just don't work i'm disappointed in cam reddish i thought eventually something will click and then he will be like an offensive threat and it's like man he can't even score no more it's kind of crazy yeah you know it's crazy um obviously he's still a young player got some time to turn around um hopefully but it's crazy how the like people are still on the cambridge trend they're just like
Starting point is 00:05:44 it's always gonna be a break out here for him the, like, people are still on the Cambridge trend. They're just like, it's always going to be a break out here for him the next time. Maybe we get halfway through the season, but like, damn, maybe next year type shit. Yeah, he just, he just, I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:05:52 To be like the scorer that he was in high school and coming with all the accolades and stuff that he had, I just think he had more production by now. He got the skill set. I just don't know why I
Starting point is 00:06:02 haven't clicked yet. Your father in the league told you he's 25 years old. That is crazy. I don't even want to I hasn't clicked yet. Your father in the league, too. He's 25 years old. That is crazy. I don't even want to call it a fall off. It's just that the transition just been a struggle, bro, because he was damn near a pro in high school. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:13 Like, skill-wise. So, I don't know what's going on. Maybe he got to stop going out of L.A., bro. I don't know what it is. But if you look at them old tapes, you see, like, A.E., Tyrese Max, they talking about who the best player they play. And A.U., it was Cam Reddish. Yeah, easily. what it is, but if you look at them old types, you see like AE, Tyrese Max, they talking about who the best player they play in AU, it was Cam Reddish.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Yeah, easily. That's why it's amazing to see the opportunity is there and it just doesn't click for some reason, I don't know. For sure, and listen, man, getting smacked like that, I guess the two wheels is one thing, but getting smacked like that and AE only having eight points is crazy. Yeah, that's what I said, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:41 We played a weak team, boy, that ain't really. I seen it had, LeBron said wasn't going to sit out this year. He going to try to play all 82. LeBron need to rest a little bit, bro. Age is actually catching up with LeBron. It's the first time I ever seen it. Like, that he's really kind of slowing down. And to me, I ain't going to lie.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I think he might retire after this year. That'd be very interesting. I don't know. I feel like LeBron is such a I don't know he likes attention too much I feel like he would glorify I feel like it would be
Starting point is 00:07:10 documented like they would go into it on there I don't think he would just walk away like that I think he would have to have some type of he'd have a real
Starting point is 00:07:15 farewell tour I don't know I think he wanna do it differently I think he probably got a documentary going right now they probably recording
Starting point is 00:07:23 everything he's doing cause I can't see LeBron having a year where he's just not still, like, top 20 in the league. And you can see it slowly, like, declining right now. I can't see him, like, going next year and being top 30. I can't see it. Yeah, LeBron can't average 17. Yeah, I can't see it.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yeah, I can't see it. He can't average 17. But I just think, like DJ said, the nigga love attention, bro. I think he got to go out with a bang, bro. I got my boy in the league. I think that was his goal. He got Bronny in the league, and now it's time to move on. Do y'all think LeBron cares about another championship?
Starting point is 00:08:00 No. He ain't getting it. He definitely not getting it in L.A. But you think he care? He don't, bro. la but you think he care he don't bro i don't think he cared but he's a nigga want to win he a competitor at the end of the day he ain't worked this hard all his life just to go out for sure a losing ass nigga but yeah i don't think it's come on bro you got the league saying yeah my son not going away, bro. It's deeper than the championship, bro. I'm trying to run shit. I think Brian more focused on
Starting point is 00:08:29 owning the team now, for sure. I think he making them steps into owning the team more so winning the championship. That's why I think it's over. Like you said, I don't think he want to be average. Not average, but just an okay. A good NBA player, but not. He always been the best. I don't think I can see but just an okay. Like, a good NBA player, but
Starting point is 00:08:45 not. He always been the best. I don't think I can see him just being okay. Yeah, and listen, there are highlights on LeBron, obviously, but I'd be really pissed off to see a LeBron James out here getting cooked by some random man off the bench, bro. I don't want to see that, bro. I think he too good for that.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Him just being like the best player. Yeah, he just old, bro. It's spooky. Damn. It is what it is. You know, it's crazy, man. You was talking bad about him last week, but Rudy, I played AD yesterday. Man, he still sad, bro. Like I said, like... Rudy the go-to guy on that team. Low-key.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Oh. Nah, but I ain't trying to argue, bro. In that game? Okay, in that game. Respect. Yeah. He was running back 18, but then he had, Rudy had 17 right there behind the pause. Nah, yeah. Okay, in that game. Respect. Yeah. He was running back 18, but then Rudy had 17 right there behind the pause. Nah, yeah. I mean, we ain't even counting this one.
Starting point is 00:09:31 We played the Lakers, bro. It is what it is. One more game? Nah, and I think I ain't going to call the Lakers trash, but they're not really no contenders, bro. It is what it is. Listen,
Starting point is 00:09:41 sure to your campaign. Shout out to A.E. He gave his homeboy his own P.E. of his shoe, and then they dropped it yesterday, which was super fire. And then they put up to your campaign. Shout out to AE. He gave his homeboy his own PE and his shoe and then they dropped it yesterday which was super fire. And then they put up to Arena.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Shout out to Foot Locker. They went crazy with Adidas and they gave everybody shoes. That the game? Yeah, man. Who knew? Gave people the shoes, bro. Gave his homie the PE.
Starting point is 00:09:58 It was outside handing out free shoes, man. Damn. In that cold ass city. Wow. I wouldn't want them motherfuckers. I mean, I wouldn't want those. Myers i mean i wouldn't want those my fault mike but i lived out there it's probably negative four and i used to stand outside for the club bro you used thirst which one tremors nah since so i never had to stand outside with
Starting point is 00:10:18 tremors yeah the vip passing tremors since i was out there shaking. I'm cool, bro. And what's crazy is Sissu, they used to have the heaters, but in the front. You push it back. Get it how you live, for sure. Man, but shout out to the marketing campaign, man. They going crazy for sure for AE. It's time for a two, though. Damn. All-star. Look, he was into the same thing.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I'm just saying. I'm going to have 3,000 color waves of the one. Hey, listen. You will not ruin my waves or the one. Pray for a two. Listen, you will not ruin my deezy relationship on this show. Shout out to Cam. Shout out to JR.
Starting point is 00:10:51 We like him, baby. I'm Under Armour, guys. What my shoes? I'm under Armour. What my shoes? Shout out to Fox, man. Hey, answer some more shoes, and I can just go.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Oh, we're kind. I forgot I'm a kind athlete. We support the deezy's on this show, man. Oh, definitely, kind. I forgot I'm a Kyrie. Nah, man. We support the Ditas on this show, man. Both definitely, man. He's out of pocket. Yeah, I support the Ditas when they send shit. I forgot y'all history deep in the rap. I respect that.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Yeah, yeah. For sure. They find me, man. J.R., I'm still mad at your ass for that. I know you was part of it. That's hilarious, man. But, hey, excuse me. Anthony Davis talking about the team being frontrunners.
Starting point is 00:11:26 How do y'all feel about that? Because I agree. You know, when the Lakers win, we hear all about it. They're going to be in the news regardless. But it seems like it's a totally different energy, win or loss. I mean, kind of obviously with that team, but just see it as more evident. I'd be talking shit, bro. If the Lakers catch a stride, bro, they really can make some noise.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I don't think so. I'd be giving them hell, bro, but they okay. Ain't going to be no playing team, bro. They're going to make the playoffs. I think they have to have another star. Even if they got it, I mean, granted, we always talk about who we're going to move with, the road players in that team, but they have to go get somebody else that's going to be a serious contender for me, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:57 I'm just not buying it, bro. They need a star? Yes, or an all-star. He don't have to be a superstar, but he's going to have to be an all-star type player to help that team do some shit in the playoffs for real. I mean, obviously, can they win a round with LeBron James and AD? Yes. But after that, it's going to get spooky, bro.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Because all those other teams are really good teams. Yeah. And they also got other good players as well. They might not be as good as LeBron and AD, but they got three or four players that they can't deal with. They need a bona fide score. Like, Bron still can get you 20, obviously, but he's not a bona fide bucket no more. Anthony Davis can get you 20, obviously, but he not a bona fide bucket
Starting point is 00:12:25 no more. Anthony Davis can get buckets, but they need somebody who just strictly gets straight buckets. How you feel about, I mean, they see B.I. sign with Clutch. How you feel about him going back to the Lakers as a possibility? Does that help that team? Hell yeah, that helps.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Shit, they need anything. Nah, bringing B.I. over there, that'll for sure help. I'd be mad, though, if I'm him. yeah anything else shit I need anything nah bring me out or that'll for sure help I'd be mad though if I'm him but y'all send me out to New Orleans
Starting point is 00:12:50 they sent you to the nice watch yeah I'm cool it ain't a bad city bro New Orleans it ain't bad one of my favorite cities
Starting point is 00:12:59 on earth but if you look at some of the players history I.E. Eric Gordon I.E. Zion
Starting point is 00:13:04 some of the people they thought was gonna be there, get to the city and be like, yeah, I'm Denver cool. Nah, bro, Zion went out there and found that big old girl out there. It was cool. She just hit the internet. He wasn't expecting that. He was laying over her big ass every night. You think Zion was
Starting point is 00:13:18 tripping? 26 Zion is an all-star. No, let's not get it fucked up. No, for sure. So, he didn't go out there and ruin his life. Leave that girl alone, man. She don't work for the Pelicans. They didn't introduce you. She gonna put y'all on the internet. I don't give a fuck, bitch. I'm ready to go.

Starting point is 00:18:56 You know that he was underwhelmed, but still, man, it is what it is, man. Celtics is going to beat everybody the rest of the year, man. Peyton Pritchard, sixth man of the year. Might not. Might not. 16 off the bench. He killing, bro. Had 25 yesterday, man. Seltz is just going to be there by the rest of the year, man. Peyton Pritchard, sixth man of the year. Why not? Why not? He averaging 16 off the bench. He killing, bro. Had 25 yesterday, man. He nice, bro. I know he was nice his rookie year.
Starting point is 00:19:11 I kind of expected this. I never thought he'd get a real shot in Boston, though, but they figured it out. I think a lot of people were feeling the same way, too. Early on, it was just like, dang, he ain't going to get no minutes. He ain't going to get no minutes. And then he signed the extension, and then he started killing. They got him on a crazy contract. Oh, man, I know.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I know you gotta sign that deal. We always say, when it's there, you gotta take it, but sheesh. That boy probably getting like 80, 80, four years,
Starting point is 00:19:36 80 at least. He went on four years, 32. He might be getting like 120 right now. Shooting 40-something from the 30s. It might be a different look on a different team, though. Most definitely, but you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:48 They don't know who, after they sign their contract, you there. I ain't going to lie. Shooting travels, though. He can do that anywhere. He can shoot the ball. Is he good enough to be a starting point guard in the NBA? Yeah, he can start. Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Behan, you a little hesitant? I mean, shit, that's your guy, man. Shout out to PP. I'm just looking at guys that start right now. Tyus Jones start. I love Tyus, but him and Tyus are very similar. I think he shoots the basketball better than Tyus. Tyus might be a better decision maker.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Maybe. Pire floor general. Yeah, Pire. Better floor general, but he can play it wrong, for sure. Most definitely. I bet. This is a different type of pressure, I think,
Starting point is 00:20:28 when you got to start in the league. For sure. But playing in Boston is that kind of pressure all the time. Yeah, but I'm saying I'm playing with five other killers. I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:37 he played 28 minutes a game. You send Pritchard to Toronto or motherfucking the Trailblazers or her motherfucker might go and die. Portland?
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yeah. The shots ain't easier as easy as it is in Boston, bro. Most definitely. Like I said, playing with the Olympians and the superstars.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Nah, he a killer. There's no slight. No, no slight. I'm just saying, I think his role would be different. Like, we expect morale out of you now.
Starting point is 00:21:04 We paid you 120 million and you got to lead this team, lead to some victories. Yeah, I get what you're saying. Like, being a franchise guy. Most likely. You don't think he could beat Jalen Brunson. Yeah, he not. I'm not saying he could beat Jalen Brunson.
Starting point is 00:21:17 But I'm saying, like, a team that is a loaded team. Like, if he went to the Lakers, the Lakers would love him. Yeah, for sure. If he could sit out there and shoot threes and things. Yeah, hell yeah. I think Drew Holiday is one of the only type of niggas, not saying he's the only one, but that can go to any team and still play the same way.
Starting point is 00:21:33 He's one of them for sure. No matter what Drew going to do. I don't know too many players in the NBA that's not stars that can just go to any team and still give you the same type of quality from the previous team. I like that take. I want to ask y'all this because, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:46 the guy Paul Pierce from the internets, he said the L.A. team would have smacked last year's Celtics championship team. How y'all feel about that? Fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:21:55 He said, we'd have gotten ahead mentally. We'd have beat them mentally. And I'm like, it'd be the hell of a series. I ain't going to say fuck out of here
Starting point is 00:22:02 because you know what? That do play a part. I mean, Jeff played it. Maybe I'm going to speak on it, but shit, that mental shit, dude. Them niggas talk cash shit. And they had a whip, too. They ain't had nobody to guard KG. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Nah. Yeah, that always, Chelsea's team had a whip, too. But they would have been. You know what? That bitch was crazy, too. Yeah, but Kendrick Perkins would have got exploited. Like, you got to think, he couldn't guard. Porzingis is on the three-point line.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Al Horford on the three-point line. Kendrick Perkins would have been a waste out there. You put KG on Porzingis? Yeah, he had to. Okay. But they were just going to spread them out, Paul, as in, like, driving kick. Like, Paul Pierce was a little older.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Ray Allen was a little older. Ray Allen was a little older. They went in they prime prime. Rondo versus Drew would have been crazy. That's a good matchup. That's a hell of a chess match right there.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Ray going to have to play some defense. That's the only problem. Yeah, Jason Tatum and JB might cook them. I ain't going to lie. Jason Tatum and JB cooking Paul Pierce
Starting point is 00:23:02 and Ray Allen. Yeah. That's good. But also, to be fair, going back the other way, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. That's good. But also, to be fair, going back the other way, Paul Pierce is going to get 25 for sure. Yeah, but Paul Pierce was a little older at that time.
Starting point is 00:23:13 He still was killing. He killed Kobe and them too. He was killing. He was 12 years in at that point. He was still whooping shit. I got to show some love to Paul Pierce. He was still going to cook. It was going to be tough the other way, though, because having to guard one of them was gonna be a hell of a day for him as well.
Starting point is 00:23:29 He was gonna have a night. Tony Allen would've got a lot of minutes in that series. He was gonna sham God Ray Allen. Freaky Ray. He was gonna have a night. But I think they would've been able to hire Ray. They would've been able to hire Ray a little bit. They had him. That's the only person hire Ray a little bit. They had him.
Starting point is 00:23:45 That's the only person you could have hit on. And Derek White is fucking around to go get 15 for no reason. Ray Allen's going to take off. I forgot to hit Leon Poe off the bench. You can't bring. Glenn Davis cannot play in that series. Green. PJ Brown.
Starting point is 00:24:01 PJ is a lot of morning on that team. Only talks to us in the locker room Sam Cassell Eddie House and Peyton Pritchard cancel each other out that'd have been
Starting point is 00:24:12 a hell of a series that'd have been a great game that'd have been a hell of a series I don't sleep on Eddie House what
Starting point is 00:24:18 Eddie House boy that wasn't Peyton Pritchard nah he ain't doing what Peyton Pritchard do though Eddie House go who y'all be trying to slight it like I'm calling That wasn't paying pressure, bro. Nah, he ain't doing what paying pressure do. What? Eddie House, who? Y'all be trying to slide it like I'm calling niggas sad. I'm not
Starting point is 00:24:30 calling niggas sad, bro. I'm saying on that championship run. What paying pressure is doing for this Celtics team is not what Eddie House was giving that Celtics team. That's fair. If you're saying the contributions. That's all I'm saying. There he was. Last year, paying pressure wasn't a player that he is this year.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Hey, bro. so we're talking about this, let's just do this year's team. Nah, they said last year championship team. I think it's, I see what you're saying there here.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Nah, Eddie House. Eddie House definitely because the headband slapped too. Nah, I don't know, I don't disrespect,
Starting point is 00:24:56 shit happened, bro. Like, you know what I mean? I ain't sliding, my focal Eddie House, I'm just saying to me for the value of the team, Peyton Pritchard, I don't think Eddie House
Starting point is 00:25:04 is damn liable to get 20 a night with that Celtics team. He had games like that. Probably a few, bro. I'm saying that's what Peyton Pritchard did last year. This year, Peyton Pritchard a different player. I got you. Well, last year on that Celtics team.
Starting point is 00:25:17 I like that talk, though. I just think KG and them just too bullheaded. They might hold on, bro. Yeah. Rondo, Paul Pierce talking about you today. He talk greasy to nigg on, bro. Yeah. Yeah, Rondo, Paul Pierce talking about you today. He talk greasy to niggas, bro. And that was young Rondo.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I don't know. They might have. Young Rondo and Drew would have been a hell of a matchup. They might have got them together. I don't know. And I will say, having Al Horford definitely helps that locker room, too.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I mean, I know KG is a master at what he does, but I think having Al Horford to help kind of counter that. But they did go seven with the Hawks, though. Like, they had, they struggled that whole, they won the championship, but they didn having Al Horford to help kind of counteract that. But they did go seven with the Hawks though. Like, they had, they struggled their whole, they won the championship,
Starting point is 00:25:47 but they didn't have an easy road like Boston walked through. Last year, they walked through team. Yeah. For sure. I don't know. Before we get off this topic, is it time to tank for the heat? Yeah, go ahead and get out of here. Okay. Yeah, it's time to go ahead. Time to rebuild for Jimmy? Yeah, go ahead. Jimmy, it's time to go to the, any Cavs,
Starting point is 00:26:04 Warriors, whoever available. For sure. I mean, go ahead. Jimmy, it's time to go to the Cavs, Warriors, whoever available. For sure. I mean, you're Hawks, man. Yeah, hey. Let's be real. What a roll. Beat the Pills yesterday, 124-112.
Starting point is 00:26:12 If we can get to the fourth or fifth seed, DeAndre Hunt is sixth man of the year. Okay. Show some love to DeHunt. Yeah, he averaging 18 off the bench.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah. He hooping. But we can get to the fourth or fifth seed. I think he might win six-man of the year. Jalen Johnson, like you said, your all-star take
Starting point is 00:26:28 won't get there, but he should be. Yeah, he should be an all-star. Sure, 19-7. Trae Young really been passing the basketball. Like, really been
Starting point is 00:26:34 passing the basketball. 12-15 yesterday. It was crazy because, you know, this time last year, people were saying that they needed to trade Trae Young and get around to
Starting point is 00:26:41 Jontae Murray. I never said that. Today. I never said that. Today. I never said that. Shoot Fitz. I wouldn't put that out. No smudging your name, brother. I would say a lot of people felt that they should trade Trae Young and bid around to Jontae.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I said they couldn't have both of them. I'm not saying you. I'm saying on the internet. I'm just saying. I feel like that was true. I'm the only one that talked about the Hawks. I feel like. Nah, I wouldn't shoot Jontae.
Starting point is 00:27:04 He feels the same. I feel, dude. I wouldn't know that. talked about the Hawks. I feel like. Nah, I wish you'd shot that you might have. He feels the same. I feel, dude. I wouldn't know that. I would never say that. I like the Jota Murray, but I never said it. No. I just want to see Trae Young. I got the opposite.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I just want to see Trae Young play with Wimby. I do want to see that. Respect, Lord. Free Trae Young, man. Biggest winning streak of the Hawks, man. This season, what's going on? You think, like you said, you think they could do something in the playoffs if they get there? Playoffs? I don't know about that,
Starting point is 00:27:28 but if we can get to like a 4th or 5th seed, I just think DeAndre Hunter can win six men in a year. Trey Young passing the ball now. I think it's getting the more guys involved and they playing better. I don't know how long this is going to last because Trey like to get buckets too, but he's still having solid offensive. He's not shooting the ball great right now, but he is getting everybody involved.
Starting point is 00:27:44 So, we're like a better team. Is this that situation where everybody start playing good just so they can get moved? Mm. You know, we've seen that. We talk about LeBron.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Some of LeBron give you a shout out and boys start killing on some of these teams that ain't got really, you know what I'm saying? Long-term aspirations. Like, all right, the stock is high.
Starting point is 00:27:58 What are we going to do? I don't think that's the same. I don't know. I know it's early. I know it's early in the season. We just got past Thanksgiving, but hey, they keep this up past Christmas.
Starting point is 00:28:06 It might be some. We made some badass trades in Atlanta, so I don't know if we're going to be doing too much trade. We traded all them picks for DeJounte Murray and stuff, like, then traded him. Did I get that back? We don't do good with trades,
Starting point is 00:28:20 I don't think. Right now, not right now. Yeah. Pelicans looking like they're going to be, where they are at at the bottom. It will be lottery for sure. Do they need to free
Starting point is 00:28:29 anybody on that team? Like we said. Yeah, everybody. CJ, does he need to go somewhere else? Yeah, start all over. Yeah, CJ need to go
Starting point is 00:28:36 where it's time for CJ to be fighting for a championship. I think CJ, he's still a most definitely a capable player, like star. But I think he, he's still a, most definitely a capable player, like star.
Starting point is 00:28:47 But I think he need to be a six man for somebody. I like that. Going on a, on a contender. Yeah. He can still get you 20. He still need to play starter minutes, but just come off.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Awesome. Very white type shit. Yeah. I like that. Yeah, for sure. Damn, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:04 I don't know where CJ could go though. A lot of teams are just the perfect fit. Like what it makes sense. Hmm. Yeah, I was gonna say, if you narrow it down, like I said, I was gonna just continue. I just, cause how he plays and he's used to playing winning basketball with Dame.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I feel like he could go in the locker room and then adjust for sure. Hand is young, but even like a team, like you said, Milwaukee could use somebody like CJ for sure. That'd be crazy. Off the bench, still playing, starting, yeah, back together. Gosh, that's championship. Chemistry already there.
Starting point is 00:29:30 They got market shit together for sure. He's the one that should. Make that phone call, Milwaukee. Listen, we talked about Jalen Johnson. You think after this year he's going to be an all-star? I think he'll all-star now. He's not going to get denied, but for sure his career is on the way to being a perennial all-star.
Starting point is 00:29:46 29 and five, yeah, that's like, that's crazy. And he not even tapped in, like, he not even hit his prime nowhere near,
Starting point is 00:29:53 what, he's like 22? Yeah, about to start a year in the league, try to do it. He has to make the all-star team.
Starting point is 00:29:59 20, 10, and five. I don't give a damn what the Hawks do. 40, 10, and five.
Starting point is 00:30:03 But that's, his stat line is retarded, bro. He got to make it. Nah, he hoping. He got to make it. He ain't even hit the surface of his prime yet. That's crazy. That's going to be interesting to see next year if Trae Young is not on that roster
Starting point is 00:30:14 and he's not in the start, they build around. That'd be very interesting. It's going to be a new way for Atlanta for sure. Yeah, I just, I don't know if he ready to be the star yet, though. He a highlight waiting to happen. Oh, he ready. You think he ready to be the star? Yeah, he ready. to happen. Oh, he ready. You think he ready to be the star? Yeah, he ready.
Starting point is 00:30:25 I think he probably shitty. I mean, not shitty that he signed a deal because he got some generational money. But no, he probably like, damn, if I would have held out a little bit more because that 30 is real nice. You don't want to take them chances. I agree.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Listen, you know, I'm for show money all day. But now you about to be in the face of a franchise. Y'all sure don't take no chance. I'll tell you that, Mike. Sign! See it here? See it there? That's the show paper.
Starting point is 00:30:48 JJ, you did right. Unless it's these niggas, you'll be goddamn Dennis Schroeder. Fight for your life. Or Kaminga. Or me. Or what's old boy
Starting point is 00:30:57 Norwood? Norwood's Noel. Oh, my God. I wonder where he at. Sick. That was my guy, too, man. Damn, that's tough, man. Give us some of the narlings. The Bulls took care of the Nets yesterday, 120-102.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Boots killing still, 21-10. Zach Levine had 18. Your boy Josh Giddey had a trippy dub yesterday, 20-13 and 11. Freaky Josh. I don't know who the fuck you talking to. I'm talking about your boy. They not like us. I don't know who the fuck you talking to. I'm talking about your boy. Your man. Yeah, I don't know nothing about that.
Starting point is 00:31:25 They not like us. The fuck? That's his man. I don't speak on that, man. Oh, you play with that side of you. I only deal with them people because Mike make me. Oh, Jesus, bro. They not like us.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Hey, man, Vooch. Free Vooch, man. Free Zach LaVine. They got to get off that team, bro. They not like us. Hey, man, free Vooch, man. Free Zach Levine. They gotta get off that team, man. Like I said, they went into this time to blow the team up, man. It's over for them. I mean, everybody in the league can't blow up. Somebody gotta try to figure it out. Nah.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Chicago been trying to blow up for years. Nobody just take nobody's contract off of them. Yeah. Honestly, that's contract off of them. Yeah. Honestly, that's what you should do. If you're not, if you're not contended, bro, if you're not middle of the pack,
Starting point is 00:32:10 there's a couple middle of the pack programs. I mean, excuse me, franchises are going to be there every single year. If not, bro, take a risk. Why not? It ain't like you putting ass in seats. Like the Bulls fans going to show up regardless. Now some of these other places,
Starting point is 00:32:20 yeah, they got to do more to keep ass in seats. But a franchise like the Bulls, bro, people going to go to them games anyway. Might as well, man. All right, man. Listen, just past Thanksgiving, I want to ask y'all, what's some of y'all biggest surprises this year? Made a list. First place Cavs. How high is that on y'all list of being a surprise?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Boy, the biggest. I knew when Kenny got the job, they'd be better. I didn't think they'd be the best team in the East for fighting for the number one spot. Okay. But that's a surprise, though. I ain't going to lie.
Starting point is 00:32:48 It is. For sure. The Rockets turn around. We talk about them going into the season. Now they're number two in the West right now. That a surprise as well? Nope. I seen them do it before.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I seen them make a team of contender. He a good coach. Shout out to anybody doing his thing for sure. Now I know B. Hingo Phillips, the Warriors still being the Warriors. Yeah, man. Congrats, man. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:33:12 It's still early though. But y'all doing y'all thing, bro. Shout out to my nigga Draymond. Hey, man, my favorite thing so far about Warriors fans is them going through the Buddy Hill cycle that we all go through when he first comes to your team and kill for the first like 10, 12 games.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Like, damn, I got a steal. And then right after that, it's like, damn, what happened? And then it's like, damn, he's going to be good again. Then he first comes to your team and kill for the first like 10, 12 games. Like, damn, I got to steal. And then right after that, it's like, damn, what happened? And then it's like, damn, he's going to be good again. Then he's going to be gone. Yeah. Shout out to Buddy.
Starting point is 00:33:31 It's tough out West too. So the Warriors really doing their thing. It's like nine teams out there that's over 500 right now. We need to talk about the Grizzlies a little bit, man. Yeah. That's a surprise.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I ain't going to say surprise. They always play well when Ja come back. But he's been out for a while. So to maintain the ship like they had, 14-7, kind of a surprise. Hell yeah. Shout out to them. And what's funny is we joked about it on here yesterday.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Ja Morant made a tweet about Triple J yesterday. He was like, I can't do it without you. And I started cracking up and playing, you damn right you can't. But shout out to you, man. Because he can't do it without you. That's a fact. He should have retweeted that shit. Why shout out to you, man. Because he can't do it without you. That's a fact. He should have retweeted that shit. Why you retweet that, Triple J?
Starting point is 00:34:10 There's 10 teams out there. I told y'all, bro, the West is way better than the East. Listen, we thought the East would be a little bit more exciting when some of the moves took place, and you were correct. The East is definitely a three-game win streak to be had. There's 10 teams, nigga. That's crazy. There's only five teams, nigga, out east that's over 500.
Starting point is 00:34:28 The east is trash, bro. LeBron should have stayed over there. What if LeBron did go back to Cleveland and mess everything up? Sounds about right. That would be hilarious. But, yeah, look how tough that is, bro. It's wicked out there. So, I got to quit hating on the Warriors, man.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Y'all holding it down. For sure. And, like you said, they've been without success in games, too. Still figuring it out. Yeah. Franz Wagner filling the void for Ben Carroll, bro. We had P5. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:34:52 We knew he was going to be a pretty all-star this year. He was going crazy until he got hurt. But shit, they've been killing without him. I know Ben Carroll loving that, though. It's like when he get out of the way, he can get back rocking with the guys and they can keep that run going. Yeah, he can take his time. He ain't got to rush back. Yeah. When they get back, he can get back rocking with the guys, and they can keep that run going. Yeah, he can take his time. He ain't got to rush back.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Yeah. When they get back on the court together, especially with KCP, that's a scary team to deal with, for sure. No, they got a lot of talent. And I like the side calls, but, like, they got a lot of big wings. So, it's a tough matchup. Like, when I think about them playing against Boston, they match up pretty cool with Franz.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Break it down. Yeah. They got P5, 6 Franz. Break it down. Yeah. They got P5, 6'8", Franz, 6'8". Whoever they center and want to be at that time, they could play Goga.
Starting point is 00:35:32 They could play... Jonathan Isaac. Jonathan Isaac. They can play my man from Duke when he get healthy. What's his name? Got the extension. Damn, I don't got his name.
Starting point is 00:35:42 I got it. It's gone. I forgot his name. I'm out of pocket. I got it. It's gone. I forgot. I'm out of pocket. You know what I'm talking about. Then they got Jalen Suggs, who's a defensive-minded
Starting point is 00:35:48 point guard. Orlando. At 6'5". They got good size to match up well with Boston. It's just about them being able to score
Starting point is 00:35:56 the ball at a high enough clip to match them, though. Hell yeah. I like the way that Jalen Suggs plays for this team as well. Like you said, he
Starting point is 00:36:01 brings in every night and every so often. He'll go flash. Like the other day, he had 30. He's still capable of scoring too, but they all have bought into the system.
Starting point is 00:36:10 And shout out to them, man. Shout out to Coach Ma for holding it down down in Orlando, man. They don't give black coaches too many chances. The fact that he got a chance with a roster just really shows capabilities is fire as fuck as well, man. That's a dangerous team.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I wouldn't want to deal with them at all. Man, James Harden and the Rockets Ty Lue no Kawhi no PG James Harden
Starting point is 00:36:29 Clippers Clippers excuse me my apologies Clippers he trying to take it back for show show
Starting point is 00:36:33 my bad but yeah this is man Clippers above water looking prosperous MP James Harden
Starting point is 00:36:41 Ty Lue they getting to it man most improved player for sure go to MP you think so yeah just stamp it and give it to him man most improved player for sure go to MP you think so yeah just stamp it and give it to him right now
Starting point is 00:36:48 he the oldest nigga ever to do it we'll go back just give it to him he killing bro like I was gonna say he having a hell of a season I don't know if he's number one
Starting point is 00:36:54 but he's he living his raps though hey he talked his shit in the media and said yeah more opportunity and took advantage you gotta respect that did they win last night
Starting point is 00:37:02 whoops yeah thought they got they ass beat respect that. Did they win last night? Clips? Yeah. I thought they got their ass beat. Oh, we can check that out. Celtics beat the Clippers by 30. All right, man. I was like,
Starting point is 00:37:17 what the fuck did the NP do? No, they played the Heat yesterday, bro. I was just laughing. No, I'm talking about he been killing it. They played the Heat yesterday. You tripping. Who played the Heat yesterday, bro. I was just laughing. No, I'm talking about he been killed. They played the Heat yesterday. You tripping. Who played the Heat? The Celtics.
Starting point is 00:37:31 What the fuck is this then? Oh, it's 11-26. I've been up there by my pad, man. I'm like, what? He's confused and shit. I was like, wait a minute, bro. What are you talking about? I am talking about my pad.
Starting point is 00:37:42 I ain't watching them games. That shit was wet. This nigga is looking up some shit before Thanksgiving. This little bike got on my shit, man. I'm like, damn. He really threw me off. I'm like, wait, what? I'm like, the Clippers won?
Starting point is 00:37:55 Oh, my day played last night? My fault. They won. My bad, AP. I ain't shit. He was ready to hate. I'm looking up, like. That's fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:38:03 Hey, put that on the producers, man. I don't watch. Oh, that's crazy. I don looking up, like. That's fucking crazy. Put that on the producers, man. Oh, that's crazy. I don't watch this shit. I don't watch it. I don't watch it. Oh, man. Shout out to the New Day. What we got? Rookies, Dawg, Knicker, Drew, McKay.
Starting point is 00:38:20 The New Day turned heel last night, by the way. Okay. If y'all wanted to know. That's crazy. Keep my shit up there, man. What the hell, man? I love this show so much.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Hey, man, Jeremy came in my favorite rookie so far this year. I know you love the O'Connor, but Jeremy came in hooping in the Mississippi Sixers
Starting point is 00:38:39 being trash, and I think it's hilarious that he goes to TikToks after the games because fuck y'all, I averaged 20. You know what I like, man?
Starting point is 00:38:44 I'm going to go with young Zachariah out there in Atlanta, man. He's been playing already too, man. He averaged an 11 off. You know, he's starting, but he averaged an 11. He's been solid. He's been solid for sure. Hell yeah. Also, too, we talked about that not being funny,
Starting point is 00:38:55 but they got to give him some change. You know, he's the number one pick. He got to flourish as well. So, they might have to make some room for him. I mean, he's starting. He's getting a lot of minutes. D-Hunt, they came off the bench. He took his spot. You a lot of minutes. D-Hunt, they came off the bench. He took his spot.
Starting point is 00:39:06 You know what I mean? D-Hunt been playing well off the bench. Zach, man, been solid for it. Shout out to the Hawks, man. Get well soon as well. Listen, ESPN had a
Starting point is 00:39:14 25 under 25 list. I'm going to go through some of these names. And y'all tell me how y'all feel about them. I will start low. Start at number one, Victor Wambayana.
Starting point is 00:39:25 That's a fact. 2AE. 3, Paulo Bancaro. 4, Franz Wagner. Chet Holmgren at 5. Tyrese Halliburton, 6. Tyrese Maxey, 7. Evan Mobley, 8.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Jalen Williams, 9. Auburn Sunken, 10. 8. Jalen Williams, 9. Auburn's sunken, 10. Give me Jalen Williams over Tyrese Halliburton. On me. And Tyrese Maxey. And LaMelo. Yeah, LaMelo is... Scotty Barnes, 11.
Starting point is 00:39:58 LaMelo, 12. That list is crazy. LaMelo number four. He after PB on me. Jalen Johnson being 17 is crazy. Zion being 16 is out of pocket, too. K cutting him that low, too.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Scottie Barnes above K cutting him. That's out of pocket. Scottie Barnes would be way lower on that list. Derrick Lively on the list. That's some respect. Tyler Hero being that low is crazy. Jalen Green being 20th. I mean, that's...
Starting point is 00:40:30 Nah, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. That ain't bad. Dyson Daniels being 23 is nuts to me as well. That's about right. He should be like 25. Yeah, LaMelo Ball has to be higher.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Brandon Miller not better than Tyler Hero. Not yet? Nah, not right now. I'm asleep. Yeah, that list is trash, bro. Darius Garland at 14. Yeah, that's kind of tough. He already been an all-star.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Yeah, I ain't rolling with that. Zion being 16 is crazy. I know we play, but don't get it fucked up. But Zion's on that court. Yeah, if he's healthy, I think I will give it that. Yeah, he better have the moment.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Because he injured. I ain't going to hold you. But what? Cleveland will make that trade tomorrow. Yeah, so I'm asleep. Whoever made't going to hold you. But what?
