Starting point is 00:02:40 I don't want to. This nigga over here, man. We having a week. My name is DJ Wells. I'm the host joined this morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop Henderson to my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing this Friday?
Starting point is 00:02:52 What's up, family? I'm chilling, bro. A lot of stuff going on in the league last night, bro. Come on, man. Yesterday was a very, very interesting day in the NBA, man. Let's just talk about a couple moves that took place yesterday that we're getting this all by on the show because it happened after that. Marcus Smart going to the Wizards. Whoever
Starting point is 00:03:08 ESPN decides to put that graphic up of Chris Milton and Marcus Smart going to the Wizards, you need to be suspended for at least two days because you was out of pocket. I mean, the Wizards do not deserve that type of a graphic. I don't think they want to suck, though.
Starting point is 00:03:23 They said they kept him, but they got Marcus Smart, they got Brogdon. They said they want to have consummate professionals in their locker room to help develop their young talent. That's what the goal is going for next year. Oh, yeah, definitely next year. Yeah, I mean, they definitely, the young talent damn near weak, though. You sleep on a young talent? Yeah, Jordan Poole, nice. Yeah, I mean, he proving him.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I'm with the young talent. Yeah, I think he part of the veteran crew that got you see everybody else damn near trying to figure it out I like yeah he hard
Starting point is 00:03:51 yeah Bilal yeah he's hard that was wild what was his name never called him Gus Bilal I'm trying to say his name
Starting point is 00:03:58 that's wild bro Bilal bro Bilal I don't know the other part shit we fuck up everybody's name. I know, but you went crazy with him. You went crazy.
Starting point is 00:04:09 It's only right. It's a 520. It's Friday. Shit. I am. Forever, bro. For sure. Yeah, that roster is wicked.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Yeah, I don't like it. I know. I like Bub Carrington, too, as a guard, but, I mean, they got 85 guards on that team. I think a lot needs to be seen from Alex Favre for us to get too excited about that. I wasn't excited anyway. Yeah, but I think that this is probably put in place for them to look like they have a stable operation
Starting point is 00:04:34 for them to potentially get Cooper flagged. Because the way they was looking this year, the NBA was not about to let them get Cooper. They got, what's the white guy from Gonzaga, Corey? Yeah, Corey Hissbert. Yeah, I think he's decent though. Okay. When I watch their team, him and Bilal, I'll be like, yeah, these two, they could be
Starting point is 00:04:50 something, you know what I mean? Okay. But they got some cool veterans now, man, with Marcus, Chris, Alex Lynn. Yeah. They got some cool vets. It's like, I hope they gonna mix them in with the young guys. I hope they just ain't gonna play all, start all the young guys and then bring these old heads off the bench.
Starting point is 00:05:05 They got to be for real. Yeah. Let's make some men, bro. Like, let's have a real team. But all this starting to sad kids and working with them. Mix it in.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Let Marcus Smart start at the point. Let Bud come off the bench. Man. You know what I mean? Yeah. If that's what y'all want next year,
Starting point is 00:05:24 if y'all are committed to actually keeping these vets on the scene, then yeah, if that's what y'all want next year, if y'all are committed to actually keeping these vets on the scene, then yeah, let them play because y'all really should free them. They deserve to go
Starting point is 00:05:29 be on contenders at this point in their career. Y'all just holding them hostage, man. But like, mix the young guys and don't just put them in the fire like that.
Starting point is 00:05:35 The young boy, the young point guard needed a, he needed a learning lesson. He needed to learn from a couple vets. Just throwing him in the fire.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I mean, he cool, but he having a rough rookie year. Yeah, for sure. How you feel about them outside of that move? I see they got a lot of assets. Well, not a lot, but a couple of assets. Look like they're trying to do something positive.
Starting point is 00:05:55 It looks a lot better than we've been seeing from the Wizards. I mean, I ain't giving them too much credit because this was just a good trade. This is a dead season, bro. Yeah, I don't care about the Wizards. I just pray they don't get Cooper flagged. You don't want Cooper to go to D.C.? No, bro. Please. Well, this is what the Wizards. I just pray they don't get Cooper flagged. You don't want Cooper to go to D.C.? No, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Well, this is what all this look like. Instructional organization changes, all that, but we'll see. Your man D. Hunt went to the Cavs. Yeah, I called that one, man.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I hate to see him go, but he in a better situation right now. I mean, he fit that team perfectly. I mean, they needed another scoring win. He having a hell of a year,
Starting point is 00:06:25 and he can guard, too. He can guard his position. Most definitely. I mean, they needed another scoring wing. He having a hell of a year. And he can guard, so he can guard his position. Most definitely. I think he gonna fit in perfect with that team. And shout out to the Cavs. They got that deal done with not giving up people
Starting point is 00:06:34 we thought that was gonna have to get fleeced in that situation. I mean, I hate to see my boy George have to go down to the A, man, figure shit out.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Kares LaVert. Yeah, fuck them second round picks. Yeah, but the Cavs are in. They trying to win. Cavs raw, bro. man figure shit out cares a vert um yeah fuck them second round picks yeah but the Cavs are in they trying to win Cavs raw bro the thing is
Starting point is 00:06:50 see they played Boston in that thing in that uh that game right before the trade deadline they seen it like we need another wing yeah
Starting point is 00:06:57 and we talked about it on the show wings are what you need in the league right now to be successful it's a copycat league everybody see how Boston got all these wings.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Cavs was like, we got to match up. And they made a good move, man. It was either him or Cam Johnson, I think, that was going to fit that team perfectly, and he did it. Yes, that's right. And they got him for a lot cheaper than what they got Cam Johnson for. I think that did a little too much. They was feeling themselves so much.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah, and that's the same. They're basically the same player to me. And Hunt probably a little more physical, you know what I mean, than Cam Johnson. Cam Johnson probably could shoot a little better, but I wouldn't even say that. Because D. Hunt, he damn near 40 from the 3. Yeah, he's like 20 or
Starting point is 00:07:36 9. Yeah, he's like 20, but I think it was a great trade for the Cavs. Okay, shout out to the Super Check. Kim Chilling said, Yassin and Jimmy Brothers said, championship coming soon. He is most definitely out of pocket. That's what he got to say. Because he's going to the public stuff. They don't got enough over there.
Starting point is 00:07:51 I like that, though. Because that means he about to turn up. Oh, Jimmy about to hoop. I mean, I haven't seen Jimmy turn some shit around. I ain't going to lie. I love that. When I got to the T-Wolves, we was ass. And when Jimmy got there,
Starting point is 00:08:06 we went into the playoffs, so. Oh, respect. Nah, I fuck with that. I mean, to have Steph Curry
Starting point is 00:08:13 and Draymond Green, two champions, Hall of Famers. They could turn some shit around now. They could lock in and make something shake for sure. Yeah. Did they get anybody else?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Nah, they ain't get nobody. They ain't in trouble. They got rid of niggas? No, they ain't getting nobody. They got rid of niggas. Yeah, they got under that apron. That's what they was on. Boys was trying to get, they ain't trying to pay that tax fee, man. That's really what a lot of these moves is about.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Some teams trying to get better. Everybody else is like, shit, we ain't winning shit. We ain't about to pay all this money for nothing. Yeah, I feel that. Yeah, that roster is a little wicked. Yeah, I ain't really sold on that roster, but watching them play last night, they had Jimmy Butler. That'd be a decent team. I ain't really sold on that roster, but watching them play last night,
Starting point is 00:08:47 they had Jimmy Butler. That'd be a decent team. I'm not sold on them. Yeah. That'd be okay. They ain't gonna be. They 5, 6, 7. If that team
Starting point is 00:08:54 want to jump in shit, gotta have different conversations about Jimmy Butler. This team. If that team gets to the conference finals, we gotta have different
Starting point is 00:09:01 conversations about Jimmy Butler. But they 5, 6, 7 in the West to me. Yeah, they make too much noise. At best. Oh, yeah, they can get in the play-in. They can sneak in and play some.
Starting point is 00:09:12 They can get all the way to the fifth seed. All it takes is a five-game win streak. Yeah, they can get. That's a lot to ask. They can catch the Wolves for sure. Damn. Hey, man, back to the Hawks and the situation. You feel like, how you feel about this move?
Starting point is 00:09:27 I know you didn't want this to happen, but with some of the moves yesterday, are you turning it up? Are you going with the untalented? Like, what y'all got going on, man? Honestly, I couldn't tell you. Okay. I don't know what we're doing. What's the plan?
Starting point is 00:09:38 Maybe we're trying to get a draft pick. Yeah, because I don't, yeah. Maybe we're tanking for Cooper. Shit. Yeah, I don't own y'all draft pick next year, though. I don't know, but I'm just saying, that's what, I don't, yeah. Maybe we're tanking for Cooper's shit. Yeah, I don't know. I'm going to draft him next year, though. I don't know, but I'm just saying. That's what, I don't know what we're doing. I honestly don't.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I think they're trying to get Young Zach some minutes. Like, he got a point. I mean, he was going to get that anyway. You know, he was coming off the bench. You know, he was starting. We kept Clint. Oh, boy. Bogey.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Yeah, we got rid of Bogey. We got Terrence, man. I like Bones Holland down there. I like Bones Holland. I mean, he might get an opportunity to play, but it's just like there's no moves that really move the needle for us. I think at this point, Trae Young is going to get a little frustrated. You take my second-leading scorer, basically,
Starting point is 00:10:21 and send him to a championship contending team and then leave me over here to dry. Like, what are we doing? Yeah, and as soon as you say it's about the draft pick situation, I think they draft picks are going to come from Trey and Trey Young. Yeah. That's where they rebuild is about to come from Trey and Trey Young. Because ain't no way you can do this to him next year, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Because like you said, it's already hard to get free agents down there. And he don't got nothing. Like, nothing to work with. No offense to everybody else, but like, swapping out Terrence Mann for D-Hunt. Like, what we doing? Yeah. Basically. Trae Young need to go play with Goddamn Pops.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Like, who are starting five right now? Trae Young would be a starting one. At your two, that's tough. What, Terrence Mann? Terrence Mann at the two is wicked. Who the three? I mean, is it the three? I mean.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Free try, bro. Careless Burt, then you're starting two. Okay, so now we start Careless Burt. Yo, three is definitely going to have to be. Terrence Mann. Terrence Mann. That's Jalen Johnson. Jalen Johnson, big O.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Jalen Johnson out. Oh, I'm saying like. Oh, you're saying. Oh, no. Well, Zachariah Young, Zach, going to start. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Big O? Big O going to start for sure. Yeah, I just don't... Yeah. Now, Trey to the Magic. Trey to the Magic. I'm something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yeah, send Trey... I'm something. Send Trey to play with Paulo. Bring... What's your point? Jalen Suggs. Bring Suggs to the eight. They probably like Suggs
Starting point is 00:11:43 more than Trey down there. Let Suggs and Jalen Johnson figure that out down there the eight. They probably like Suggs more than Trey down there. Let Suggs and Jalen Johnson figure that out down there. Yeah, they probably like Suggs more than Orlando. And every first round fucking pick you got for the next three years, that's what they on. They're like, yeah, we need a PG, we need another young wing, and we need picks. Just saying.
Starting point is 00:11:56 And if I'm Orlando, fucking picks. You don't think they like Suggs more down there than Trey? They like a defensive-minded team. They do. Big guards, big wings. It's? They like a defensive minded team. They do. Big guards, big wings. It's okay to have a big offensive weapon.
Starting point is 00:12:09 I like how you said that. Like, for real, like. What's the best defense we hear? You don't think he'd take away from Franz
Starting point is 00:12:16 and Pablo? No, no, because now I feel like Trey, he was trying to play the real PG on this team, but he just kept
Starting point is 00:12:22 getting injured and shit wasn't working out. He can go do that. That way, when people go down, he can go, oh, shit, I can get 30. My guys is out, but while they in there, bro, he can beat at 18 and 11. It's more effective. He's more of a weapon than Jalen Suggs.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Most definitely. I agree. Look at that roster. If you would put Trey, I mean, obviously you got to lose a couple people, but imagine Trey Young, that's right, with KCP next to him, both the wings and the big. That's dangerous, bro. That's a fire squad. That's dangerous.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I was just talking to my brother about that. I'm like, yeah, bro, I fuck with that. They had to trade Jalen Sugg, Jonathan Isaac. Get rid of Isaac. Most definitely a couple. He can go to one of them mega churches in Atlanta. He'd tap right in. Them shoes would sell right out in Atlanta. Nah, he gotta
Starting point is 00:13:07 go to a white church, bro. Nah. He's gonna go where the Lord is reigning. Nah, bro. He took it. Nah, I don't think Jonathan Isaac is Baptist by any means, but that ain't the boss. Y'all said Jonathan Isaac Catholic. For sure.
Starting point is 00:13:23 For sure. For sure. Shout out to Saturday Church. Abba Stylick. He definitely not Abba Stylick. Nah, they would have had denim on them shoes. Yeah, he'd run away. That's King of Diamonds. He'd run away.
Starting point is 00:13:36 All right, let's move on from that. Kevin Porter to the Bucs. How you like that situation? They gave him a scoring punch off the bench, but I don't know. He can score. Yeah, they wasn't playing that way anyway. Yeah, I mean, I think he can score.
Starting point is 00:13:52 Yeah, I mean, that was an easy trade for them. I mean, like you said. That's a good answer, bro. Marjon wasn't playing. Yeah, that wasn't rock and roll. He was just sitting on the right bench anyway. But Kevin Porter, you know, we all know he can score a bunch of 50 points before,
Starting point is 00:14:06 so he can come off and give him a scoring punch. Yeah. I don't know how much they're going to use him. You're going to say he's playing with Giannis. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:14:14 interesting to see how Doc use him, but he definitely gives you a scoring punch off the bench. Well, capabilities to score. Yeah. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:14:21 he getting the game, second unit, start doing all that dribbling, Giannis is going to be like, yo, big dog. Ah, facts. You don't get, it ain't no ISO work with Giannis. Yeah, he get in the game, second unit, start doing all that dribbling. Y'all just gonna play A.L. Big Dog. Ah, facts. You don't get,
Starting point is 00:14:26 it ain't no ISO work with Yannis. Yeah, you see D.H. It's your nigga right now. It's a lot. It's a fact. Yannis ain't playing none of them games.
Starting point is 00:14:34 That's crazy. But that was interesting. I mean, they weren't rocking with him, but that was an aggressive move, I would say. Also, Sacramento, Indianapolis on.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Jake LaRiviere went east side, outside, man, to the Sacramento Kings. What they trying to do, man? Nothing. I don't know. They out here making moves like they're aggressive Indianapolis on Jake LaRiviere East side Outside man To the Sacramento Kings What they trying to do man Nothing I don't know They out here making moves
Starting point is 00:14:49 Like they aggressive about something But the trade deadline is over So they are stuck with this roster For the rest of the year I don't like it Jake It didn't even matter Jake
Starting point is 00:14:57 They didn't even pick up his His You know his option So I knew they was going to move on From him I mean Shit Hopefully he can find his way out there,
Starting point is 00:15:06 but I don't really know the setup. Okay. I don't know what they got going on in Sacramento. Yeah, so Fox was just like, hey, y'all see all these reports, but I was a problem, right? Yeah, talk your shit. Yeah. See this week?
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. You see all this confusion going on? Don't say shit about my name. Leave me alone. I don't play for y'all no more. Yeah. I think San Antonio was greasy for Denver, even allowing him to wear a 2
Starting point is 00:15:27 down there. He switched it for it, but were they out of pocket? No, they're not out of pocket, bro. It's like PG, bro. Nobody respect that number. That's Kawhi Leonard, though, bro. He put the banner up. Has anybody wore 13 in the end of it? That's a good question. I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Starting point is 00:15:44 I know it's just the way you leave. Like, if you leave on bad terms, it ain't really no fixing it. Like, only Orlando fixed it with Shaq
Starting point is 00:15:53 and Toronto with Vince. Oh, yeah. But they was like polarizing figures. Kawhi Leonard was cold, but he ain't Tim Duncan. Yeah, he not polarizing.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Yeah, he ain't Manu or Tony Parker to them. You know what I mean? And the same thing with PG. You ain't Tim Duncan. Yeah, he not Paula Rousey. Yeah, he ain't Manu or Tony Parker to them. You know what I mean? And the same thing with PG. He wasn't Reggie. He was cold, but... He was cold, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:13 They don't solidify in indie like that. When he was just like, I ain't never got a video. Come on, fam. That should tell you a lot. Come on, bro. You knew what time it was.
Starting point is 00:16:22 But the page is out of pocket, though. Y'all are right, but the page is out of pocket for not making him a... I don't know why he give a fuck that much, but a tribute video, bro. You knew what time it was. Well, the Patriots is out of pocket, though. Y'all are right, but the Patriots is out of pocket for not making him a... I don't know why he give a fuck that much, but a tribute video, bro,
Starting point is 00:16:29 he deserved one. I mean, he was here for, what, seven years? Yeah, he did his thing here. I mean, listen. I don't disagree with what you're saying, but if you're looking
Starting point is 00:16:37 at that arena, Jermaine O'Neal ain't up there. Nah. So if J.O. ain't up there and that's how they would with everybody, then that's it. If they was honoring everybody else and just sliding him over, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I mean, just because you a fucking nigga all the way around the board. I mean, it's right. I believe in consistency. Get J.O. up there, too. For sure. J.O. deserve to be up there. 1,000%. I'm rolling.
Starting point is 00:16:59 I don't know, bro. Shout out to Mel Daniels and all the past players before, but y'all ain't fucking with them, too. PG deserved to get a video. At least, bro. The way he left was just like, I don't want to be here. Like, I hate the potholes. Like, I can't drive my Ferrari type shit. Like, you know, blue collar city like us.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah. Midwest shit. We wasn't feeling that stunt shit. Nah, nigga. That's some. Midwest shit. We wasn't feeling that stunt shit. Nah, nigga. That's some Cali shit. We wasn't fucking with that. Now I go drive a Lamborghini in Oklahoma City. That's what I was saying.

Starting point is 00:24:53 Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, we was trying to figure out what this, I mean, the Hornets was going to do about a big, so they must have had that in the works to get Nert. Yeah, that's a nasty plan. Yeah, I don't like, I would have kept Mark Williams. I ain't going to lie. For sure. They was just happy to do business with the.
Starting point is 00:25:23 They didn't want to pay Mark Williams where he was going to be old like he was going to get a good payday and they like you said they had injury concerns where they had a report yesterday during the TNT broadcast
Starting point is 00:25:31 about that yeah but NERC they don't move shit they don't be out there wilding with LaMelo yeah suicide step threes
Starting point is 00:25:40 and shit him and Grant Williams in the same locker room annoying what's up man have fun shit yeah NERC just step threes and shit. Him and Grant Williams in the same locker room? Annoying. What's up, man? Have fun. Shit.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah, Nurk. Just be cool and try to get another bag. Yeah, man. Just chill out, man. Get you another payday. Let's go through some of these transactions that's taking place
Starting point is 00:25:55 near the trade deadline. Jimmy Butler, obviously, is a Golden State Warrior. Lakers got Luca and Mark Williams. The Bucks got Kyle Kuzma. And the Wizards, man, they got Middleton and Smart. The Mavs got AD Kuzma and the Wizards, man. They got Middleton and Smart.
Starting point is 00:26:05 The Mavs got AD and Caleb Martin and the Hawks. Man, they ain't getting nobody. They gave up. They gave up. We got two of their
Starting point is 00:26:12 rotation players. Karris and Karris and Mini Van. George and Young. For sure. I ain't mad at Terrence Mann, though. Terrence Mann.
Starting point is 00:26:20 He just went on. He's an odd man out over there in L.A. For sure. With all the wings they got there. Yeah, I don't know what the Hawks gonna do, man. We'll see. Lakers bones Highland. He's an odd man out over there in LA for sure. Without the wings they got there. Yeah. I don't know what the house going to do, man. We will see. Lakers is a he gave us a
Starting point is 00:26:31 plus. I think the Lakers got a on a on a trades to yeah. The Lakers got a plus Warriors. I give it a the Warriors and Jimmy a I'm gonna give it a B. I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it a B I'm going to give it a B. I'm going to give it a B minus.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yeah. I'm going to give it a B minus. I'm going to give it a B because I feel like you should have got Jimmy and something else. You need another piece, but I'm going to give it a B. I agree. They should have probably did another situation with that as well, but also, they did not have to give up the young talent that we thought
Starting point is 00:27:03 they was going to have to give up to get Jimmy. That's why I give him the grade. I don't fuck with him. I'm going to give up the young talent that we thought they was going to have to give up to get Jimmy. That's why I give him the grand. I don't fuck with him, but I don't. I'm going to give it a B. I'm going to say solid. Because I just feel like they needed one more piece with Jimmy. We didn't even mention Dennis. Dennis went to the Pistons.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Yeah, I was going to. I was just about to say that's an underrated. That's a funny-ass pick of him going around Twitter. I can't wait to show y'all. I'm saying that's a that's a silent that's a quiet great pickup for the Pistons.
Starting point is 00:27:28 He fits that team perfectly. Yeah. A little annoying guard come off the bench after K cutting him. And they can play together because you know
Starting point is 00:27:36 K is a little bit to the two of the wing. Dennis is a proven vet. That's one of the perfect pickups. I ain't gonna lie. It's an underrated pickup
Starting point is 00:27:44 for the Detroit Pistons. Detroit actually got a good thing going over there. So I mean, I hopefully can sign back with them. They can build some rapport, but that's a good pickup for them. They got to figure out what they want to do with Jalen Dern. Keep him? What the fuck we going to do? I mean, they-
Starting point is 00:27:59 They had him. Y'all seen people- They constantly, they shopped him all year. I don't think they feel as confident about him as they do other players on that team. I love to have him. I think they need to stay put. I know they like Isaiah Stewart a lot over there. Yeah, I would love to have him on my team.
Starting point is 00:28:14 But yeah, they shopped him all year. Also, we almost had your boy, Kobe White. He was almost a pacer. It was a little bit of a conversation. Oh yeah, I was going to try it. Thank God. I was wondering what was going on. But we got to move on the wings
Starting point is 00:28:24 because our offseason is going to be real wicked. Because if they're going to try to pay miles, it was going to trade. Thank God. I was wondering what was going on, but we got to move on the wings because our offseason is going to be real wicked. Because if they're going to try to pay Miles, it's going to get ugly. They're going to have to move either OB or Neesmith. They're going to have to cancel out the roster next year because of the taxes. Because we definitely got two max players. They're going to trade TJ. McConnell? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And TJ Nass is spearing me over. Nah, I mean, TJ is a valuable. Y'all can get an asset from him. He's making about nine. Yeah. He just signed the extension, right? Two more years, I believe, is on that deal, T.J. Nash is spearing me over. Nah, I mean, T.J. is a valuable... Y'all can get an asset from him. He making about nine. Yeah. He just signed the extension, right? Two more years, I believe, is on that deal, too. But I'm going to tell you right now,
Starting point is 00:28:51 if we didn't trade for Kobe White because of T.J. McConnell, I'm going to be pissed. And shout out to T.J. Nash. But Kobe White is... They're going to have to move on from him because he's a valuable pick. But, like, I still got Nim Hard
Starting point is 00:29:02 and all these dogs. I don't even know who will come play with Tyrese. A lot of people don't. I mean, shit, like you said, it's an opportunity to come hoop on this team. We passed the ball. They passed the ball. You're going to get a chance. That's the beautiful thing about the Pacers.
Starting point is 00:29:15 You're going to get a damn chance. For sure, man. Stay tuned. Let's go through some games last night, man. Historic game from Brian yesterday. Old man Brian got the dub yesterday over the Warriors. He had 42-17-8.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Bron was hoopy yesterday. And Steph was killing two with 37. Classic duel. He started off bad. He started off booty. That's how good Steph is. That's how good Bron is.
Starting point is 00:29:39 They give us classic moments every time they hit the floor together. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, bro. Because even after the Christmas Day game, like, everybody was looking forward to this game.
Starting point is 00:29:46 And they definitely didn't disappoint, you know, moving around and stuff with the trades. Basketball is so easy for LeBron. I was just watching. I'm like, this shit like a joke. Like, you know too much, bro. You know the game, in and out. It was too easy.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Like, I seen one time, I look at the small stuff. Like, just being a coach, and then you just watch people like him. He set a pick and roll and popped. Somebody, they kind of dragged the pick and roll a little bit and he did a late backdoor cut because naturally your instincts, when somebody, if you guard in a pick and roll and you the point guard and they say switch, your natural instincts is go to the three-point line.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Like they switch, you automatically going to turn. natural instincts is go to the three-point line. Like, they switch, you automatically going to turn. Thinking the person popped at the three-point line, he backdoor cut, got the layup. I don't even know if he got fouled or not, but he just made the layup. And it's just like, damn, he good at basketball. Cerebral. Like, damn.
Starting point is 00:30:40 He knew this dude was going to run back to the three-point line. He cutting backdoor, getting his layup. And I was like, shit. That's that mental shit, though, bro. He knew this dude was going to run back to the three-point line. He cutting back door, getting his layup. I was like, shit. That's that mental shit, though, bro. That's the IQ. That late cutting did. I'm just like, man. Bron just so special when it comes to basketball. Because I'm thinking if I was a point guard and I had to switch,
Starting point is 00:30:56 I would have ran back to that three-point line. They would have been like, red, red, switch, switch, switch. I would have turned, went to that three-point line. He would have been dunking the ball, too. It would have been on the mix type, unfortunately. Brian and MJ, only two people ever to score 40 at 40, man. That's crazy. Brian on the Wizards.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I mean, MJ on the Wizards. Yeah, not on this Wizards team, though. Damn, MJ was low-key cold, too. Not this. This crazy. Brian crazy. MJ used to hoop on me. Nah, MJ and the Wizards.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I mean, MJ was still hoards, I mean, it wasn't the drill we knew, but he was still hooping, bro. The old age. He still averaged 20. Yeah. He had no business averaging 20 then, bro.
Starting point is 00:31:31 He was killing it. You almost just chilling, bro. He was hanging with the Wayans brothers. He wasn't taking basketball seriously. I got to own the team to come get y'all to show up, bro.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Fuck it, bro. I hoop, bro. That's what he was on. That was open gym. He averaged 20. Out there yelling to Rip Hamilton and shit. I hope, bro. That's what he was on. That was open Jim Rohn. He averaged 20. Out there yelling to Rip Hamilton and shit. His worst,
Starting point is 00:31:48 one of his worst years is a nigga at 26 and four is a terrible year for him, Jack. Terrible. I would have loved to have those facts. Nigga, that's a $200 million nigga down there.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I swear to God, you know what I've been doing if I averaged that? I've been up. He was averaging 20 and six. What? I'm getting 150. Yeah. did. They've been up. He was averaging 20 and 6. What? I'm getting 150. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Sign a new deal, 150. Yeah, we wouldn't even. Back up. Lamborghini T. This wouldn't even. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:32:13 he was playing, yeah, he had to. Yeah. He didn't have nobody else, bro. Yeah. They was trying to fill
Starting point is 00:32:20 them seats up. He had ownership of the team. He was like, I gotta be here. Lamborghini T, I would have been Paul George. That's why he's speaking. He be shitty when players don't up. He had ownership of the team. He was like, I got to be here. Lamborghini T, I would have been Paul George. That's why he speak. He be shitty when players don't play.
Starting point is 00:32:29 He got every right to. Because he literally played in them every game. Yeah, look at his career, bro. George showed up. Yeah, he played 82 games a couple games. I mean, a couple years. One, two, three. More than that, nigga.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Nine years he played 82 games and that's 17 until he came back late I was gonna say he was going to the finals every year except for the first 4 and he was still going
Starting point is 00:32:51 deep in the playoffs that's a different nigga bro shout out to MJ man that's why that's why he say what he say bro but that's why he the greatest
Starting point is 00:33:00 9 years 82 games nigga just imagine if he would've just played 60. He could've played four more years. Yeah. At a high level.
Starting point is 00:33:11 You know what I mean? Let me just miss 30 games a year. And the baseball year fucked him up too. It still bounce back. That's crazy, man. Shout out to Brian, man.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Making history as always. Hey, he went crazy yesterday. My boy scored 41. Got the dub over the Rockets yesterday. Won 27-114. Him and Dylan Brooks back and forth. Should've got wicked for sure. He had 41. Don't ever do that.
Starting point is 00:33:33 Jalen Green was hooping as well with 28, 6, and 5. They gone had 16, 10, and 7. Dylan Brooks could never. Don't poke the bear. Leave that bear alone. He made history yesterday as well. Most 40 points in franchise history. Already? Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:33:47 He's the youngest to make 1,000 threes as well, man. We on our way to being the greatest Timberwolves ever, bro. It's a long journey, but we on our way. It's you's the feel. It's you's the feel. I don't think it's that hard. It is. You think he going to pass, KG?
Starting point is 00:34:02 That easy? I'm not going to say like he ain't capable. I said that easy, bro. That's tough, bro. KG's a big feet,
Starting point is 00:34:09 bro. KG cold. KG got MVP up there, didn't he? KG's on top of Mortal Kombat. And he got to Western Carpet
Starting point is 00:34:13 for me. We know that he already got there too, but I'm saying that MVP. Yeah, I'm saying he already did what KG did
Starting point is 00:34:18 and took him what? How long was KG there? 10 years? 12 years? Probably a little longer.
Starting point is 00:34:25 KG didn't leave until 07, 08. Yeah, he was in the league at 97, right? Yeah, he was like 10 years. He was 10, going on 11. Had to be. Just from a numerical standpoint. Got to the conference finals once. KG got drafted in 95, I believe.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Yeah. 12 years? Yeah, 12 years. Well, he went back at the end. I didn't count them. He played 13 years at Timberwolves, let's say. He went back as a rehab coach. He was a camp counselor.
