This is an iHeart Podcast. The Volume. Good morning. Happy Wednesday. It's 520 in the morning. Your favorite sports show here to keep you up to date. Everything in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. Joining us this morning are my two brothers to my left, Bishop Henders to my right, my brother Teague. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's happening, bro? What up, though?

What's going on, man? Today is January 22nd. It's the 19th anniversary of Kobe scoring 81, man. I wanted to remember it. No, he was a little bit younger back in those days. Do y'all remember when that happened? I don't. Y'all remember?

I do. I thought it was a typo. Remember my boy Phil called me. It was like him and Luke called. It was like, him and Lou called. It was like, Kobe had 81 points. And I wasn't an NBA fan back then, so I didn't really care. And then, like, just hearing somebody score 81 points, I was like, that's crazy. Got to be a typo.

Then watching the highlights, he was killing it. He was killing it. He did the Raptors all greasy. I didn't catch it until the next day after that shoot. And to make it to the NBA and play in the NBA and see how crazy that is, to score 80 points against some of the best players in the world, that is nuts. Yeah, it's the highest scoring game in NBA history.

Who got most of the buckets? J-Rose? Yeah, the shot breakdown. Yeah. He caught all that fade for sure. It's just kind of crazy, man. Somebody can be that much better than the rest of the best players in the world

at that time. You know, like on that court at that moment. Like, damn. Like, we've seen people get 50 points, 40. You know, anybody can have a good night. They get hot. But 80?

80 is crazy. 80 is crazy. 80 is nuts. Especially in y'all crazy. 80 is crazy. 80 is nuts. Especially in y'all era of basketball. They get 80 right now. You different. Yeah.

Even like D-Book when he got that 70. I know they lost and they look kind of crazy. Kobe. I got 70, bro. Yeah, it's 70. But Kobe's was like,

they was down. And they came back and won the game. Like, it was needed. It wasn't like, it was needed. That's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, man. One. It wasn't like it was needed. That's crazy. It's crazy.

Yeah, man. One of the best scoring performers in NBA history. I don't believe we'll need the video. So until the 81 stands, man. Anybody that averaged 50 in the league can score 100. Man, thanks. We ain't going to start that today, man. We're going to start with a good foot.

Some rumors, man. Allegedly, you know what I'm saying, Brad Bill is willing to open to go to Milwaukee. You know what I'm saying? Wave that no trade clause and the three-team deal that might send Chris Middleton to Miami and your boy Jimmy

to Phoenix. Who is this boy? Who made this? Yeah, that's the proposal yesterday. Phoenix traded a 2031 pick for a three-conditional first to Utah.

The Shams. Yeah. The funny thing about that is it was like a 2031 pick. It was like Utah getting somebody in middle school ready to go it's funny as hell

that's not a problem I think Utah just knew they had way too many picks they had to get off of them they couldn't keep all of them guaranteed yeah roster spots

so yeah but that's saying that Phoenix did this obviously with the intent on making this move happen you know after that that five point Brad Bill game

they just like alright we gotta make it happen now. Yeah, but Brad still hold the cards right now. Yes, sir. No trade clause. If he don't want to open up that trade clause,

he don't got to. So, it's interesting. If he want to go to Milwaukee, I think it's a good trade for Milwaukee. Another scorer, capable player.

Yeah. I wonder would he come off the bench, though? Oh, no. Brad got to start the two on that team. Think so? I mean, they brought would he come off the bench though? Oh, no. Brad got to start the two on that team. Think so? I mean, they brought

Chris Millington off the bench. Yeah, but I think... What's the difference? I think, you know what I'm saying? A little bit of... I think Brad was a little bit quicker. I ain't going to say he's that much more athletic

than him, but I think you could put him right next to Dame after two, bro. You still start 20 and Prince, Giannis and Brook Lopez. That's a helping lineup. But I mean, even if he does come off the bench

that's still somebody who can get 25 so I just like Andre Jackson playing defense I got you I think he's an elite

defender his scoring that's not really existing right now but his defense is he locks boys up Bradley Bill

gonna have to let his ego down though you think so? I think he let his ego down, though. You think so? I think he let his ego down being in Phoenix, but I just think for Milwaukee, they need a primary defender. I think Torian Prince is a good defender, but Andre Jackson is elite. But Brad Bill get you shooting,

so maybe you don't need Torian Prince in the lineup. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. The offensive, I mean, I don't know how it's going to look, but Damian Lillard and Brad Beal could really fuck something up. Once they figure that out, that's dangerous. That's a backcourt that can get 50. Insane backcourt. Yeah, but that's a

hell of a luxury to have. For sure. How do you feel about Chris Middleton and Miami? I mean, for some reason, Miami get the best out of their players they don't do well with Asian players like

I wouldn't say Chris is old he's just injured right now but they don't do well like people when they tend to be on their last leg in Miami they they kind of play longer

they take way lesser roles like a Kevin Love and all those guys you get of play longer. They take way lesser roles like Kevin Love and all those guys. You get to play longer, but your role is way less. And I don't know if Chris is on that right now, but it's happening in Milwaukee.

So maybe he's embracing it. Like, cool, I can go down there and chill, get some good sun. You're going to say, I ain't too bad. Tyler Milwaukee to Miami. That's a hell of a pickup though for Miami

yeah he probably could chill get 13 14 points and just kind of prolong his career a little

bit but I don't know I don't know if he ready for that I guess something out the deal though

I'm glad I getting them though if that if this is really real now also on the last part of this, Jimmy and Phoenix, how do we feel about that?

How does that look? I don't know how he feel. From what I hear, he'd be happy. But I don't know. If he up for it for real, then they right. That's a nice one. I like Jimmy brother over Bradley Beal. For that team, for sure.

Yeah, hell yeah. What role do Jimmy play, though? Is Jimmy going to be a facilitator, a defender? What is he in this role? Them two, what you just said. That's what you think he got to be? Yeah, for them to be elite, let Book do his thing. Let KD do his thing, bro.

Be that 3 and D guy. So I think he could have did that in Miami, but I guess it was just about the money, right? Yeah. He just didn't get paid. Yeah. That's what I said. He's just more talent than Phoenix, though.

Do you think Phoenix extends him when he gets there? That is what I was going to ask secondary. I don't know. If I keep my guys, yeah, why not? Let's figure it out. If they don't extend him, this would be, like, dumb. You know what I mean? Yeah.

All this is pointless. So obviously if he gets the Kings, I guess he's getting the extension or he's going to be there a long time. Well, I guess I should ask, how long do they have to decide if it's worthy or not for them to do it? Do you wait through the end of the season? Because, I mean, if he goes in there and has a good playoff, like we know Jimmy can't do.

I think you have to do it. You trade all this. You make all this happen. You almost have to keep them around. In half a season, you're not going to learn too much. Okay. But it's still in Bradley Bill. Bradley Bill could be like my family happy in Phoenix.

I don't feel like moving. Yeah. That'd be far. Yeah, so. Put Brad gone, man. Yeah, free yourself. Yeah, go on. Brad can be like, I don't feel like basketball game, bro.

I think Jimmy Brother would be cool out there though bro I'm just saying Phoenix to Milwaukee is a big move like you going from the west to the east these kids might be happy in Phoenix

that's cool bro but do you want to win bro where we at in your career where we at I'm making 50 million dollars a year I'm happy y'all know how I feel

about wins and losses but I'm not Bradley Bill so I don't want to speak on that man I say sit your ass down somewhere. No, I'm 50 million. 50 million. My kids might be happy.

My wife might like it in Phoenix. The weather good. I don't know if we ready to go to Milwaukee. So it's all in his hands. Hey, man, I ain't mad at Chris Milton. I ain't going to lie. I'll go play with Giannis in the heartbeat, though. Yeah, Giannis and Dame, bro.

And I'm nice. I'm out. Yeah, we got a chance to do something special. I'm out, bro. I ain't going to lie. I ain't hating. Y'all know I love Giannis. It ain't that easy, bro.

That is true. Y'all go over there. Dame just started getting the ball this year. Man, it ain't that easy. Man. Help me, man. What boss to Richie say, man? Hey, I done seen Giannis pass the ball a lot more this year. Man, it ain't that easy. Man. Help me, man. What boss to Richie say, man? Hey, I done seen

Giannis pass the ball a lot more this year. He be swinging it to A.J. Green. Hey, bro, I'm bravier, bro. I get a couple touches, bro. Giannis average six assists this year. I'm not saying he don't pass. Swing, swing, swing, bro.

I'm not saying he don't. But he said, no, this is in the playoffs. You know who I am. But you got to think, Dame is having a hell of a year. Dame has adjusted. He's learned how to play with Yonah.

Tim and Yonah's got a great connection now. Mm-hmm. Now y'all adding another wrinkle in. Mm. This is somebody else that need to peel. Yeah, because Chris been out. You know what I mean? He been out with injury.

We ain't really had to bring him in the fold. He coming off the bench and getting his 13, 14, but this is the Dame and Damianis show now. So now y'all bringing Bradley Bill in with expectations for Bill to be like... It's lit. Yeah. It might not be that lit.

You know what I mean? You might be over there like, well, shit, I just lit getting five shots now. I'm getting four. Hopefully it's an uplifting situation on my next journey. You know what? There's one coach I ever want to see figured out. It's Doc Rivers.

Yeah. D-Ham, tap it, man. Get that locker room together. The only thing I can say about Darvin Ham and Doc Rivers is they do well with six men. Well, I shouldn't say Darvin Hill. I don't know what he did. But

Doc Rivers, he know how to get the best out of six men. I mean, Jamal Crawford was lit as a six man for him. Lou Will. And they basically

made the award popping in Genova. So, Bradley Bill can embrace that role. Shit, it might get different. I mean, I have, what,

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on your team and then still have Lou Will coming off the bench and he having moments. Yeah. That's true. Could be a role for him. The NFL playoffs kick off this weekend

Definitely. Very interesting point. We will stay tuned as this took place obviously this is just a rumor but we are going off this information

based upon the trade yesterday that anytime you're getting rid of a 20-31 pick with three first round picks you're looking like to make a move so we'll keep you up to tune

in that situation as well the Knicks got a close win yesterday over the Nets 99-95 Cat went crazy he had 25-16-6 Jalen Brunson had 17. D-Lo had 23-10 yesterday.

Man. Is that really crazy, though? What? 25-16. I mean, that's a good day at work, bro. I think that's just kind of normal for Cat. Oh, for him, mostly. Cat had a Cat game.

That's crazy. I guess, well, we just talked about Daniel Gafford having 31-15 yesterday. It was like the best shit ever. That's crazy. I guess, well, we just talked about Daniel Gafford having 31 to 15 yesterday. It was like the best shit ever. That's crazy. That's going crazy for him, though.

Like, for Cat, I'm not going to start saying he going crazy. I'm going to say Cat had a cat game. Okay. Like,

25 and 16. He averaged, what, 25 and 14. Like, Cat had a cat game. He was below average. A little bit above average.

Okay, respect. Cat had a cat game. So, I'm not even going to say he went crazy. He just had a cat game. He was below average. A little bit above average. Okay, respect. Yeah, Cat had a cat game. So, I'm not even going to say he went crazy. He just had a cat game. This is what we expect from Cat now. For sure. And that's interesting for you to say.

I was going to say, like, he's having a great season. Probably his best season ever. I love the fact that we can just keep persistently praising him because he's playing basketball at a high level. Despite what happened, like him getting traded, the smut that was on his name, all the expectations of coming to New York, Cat has really been delivering this year

and it's good to see for sure, man. Yeah, he's having a hell of a season. Nasty work in the game. He only scored 99 points in 95. Boring game, but Cat did his thing.

Shout out to D'Angelo Russell, man. He said he's playing basketball for a year and never take it for granted again. I was going to ask you about that statement. I went back to the Lakers.

That was obvious, bro. I'm happy, bro. Yeah, you happy, but why would you sign with the Lakers? But he went back to the abuse, though. He got away and went back to the Lakers. That was obvious, bro. I'm happy, bro. Yeah, you happy, but why would you sign with the Lakers? But he went back to the abuse, though. Like, he got away and went back. I'm happy, bro. You know that toxic relationship, bro.

Bro, I mean... We all went back to the girl to put her hands on us. I'm just saying, bro. Why would you... I don't know, bro. I'm just saying, bro. Yeah, that's funny

because people are just like... So you say you're happy to go back to playing, losing basketball. I'm like, no. He Yeah, that's funny because people are just like, so you say you're happy to go back to playing losing basketball? I'm like, no, he happy. He can just like take shots and not worry about getting subbed out. Or he can take shots and not have to worry about somebody staring at him at the end of the bench. And the Lakers fans, hey, they don't give nobody no breaks, boy.

You put on that purple and gold, they will go crazy on you if you have a bad game. That's just a different type of media, man. Nobody gives a damn about Brooklyn media, bro. It is what it is. Man, it's the second team in New York, for sure. You just get to go out there, and like he said, man, just be free and hoop. Stress free, man. Shout out to him.

Shout out to him, man. I know we've talked about this man on this show plenty of times, Cam Johnson. Listen, we know. We still waiting on B.Han's update for what they want for him as far as the trades. He'll get back to us soon. Yeah, Shams being messy, so we're going to wait.

Shams, man. That's your man. Shams being messy, man. I have a full update Friday for y'all. So, a couple of teasers looking to be interested in him, the Lakers,

Grizzlies, Pacers, and a couple other. Where y'all think he goes in this trade, or do you think he stays this year? I think he gonna end up staying. It's too many picks, bro. They treat him like

the best thing that ever happened. I mean, he having a heavily year average of 19, but two first-round picks, I just don't see somebody doing that. Unless they like a team, a veteran team who their first-round picks don't mean anything to them. Yeah.

Yeah, I was going to say that. That two first round seems to be a little bit greedy, especially with some of the deals we see. I think the Jimmy Butler trade, whatever that all concludes, that would be a better idea. But yeah, two for camera right now is kind of crazy. The only people that I can see can do it is the Thunder because they got a squad that's kind of already built for it

and they got so many picks. And Memphis got some picks. And they don't... Memphis got some picks. I'm not even locked in like that. But the only thing about them, they got to extend Shett and Jalen Williams coming up soon. Yeah.

But Cam Johnson money isn't crazy. Hell no, it ain't. It's not crazy. And they can do a win-now situation, getting him. They can give up a couple picks and get some win-down moments. Especially, like you said, you got to pay

them. But some of the people, like Lou Dorch is getting paid, too. Somebody else is getting paid. Maybe you move on for some of those role players if you want to keep them. But that's a hell of a luxury to have in two years, for sure. Yeah, just for two years. I mean, lock in, try to make a run at it this year. And then you can let them go. I mean, your core ain't going to be broke up.

You got Shea, Jalen, that's your core for the rest for a while. For a while. And you got Hartenstein. So them four players for a minute going to be your core. You can make a run at it with Cam, but if not, I ain't mad at them either. They stay tacked. They got a good team. Listen, I would love for Cam Johnson to be a Pacer.

But I think realistically, what I would like to see him win, I would love to see him with the Grizzlies. I think that's the team we've been talking about. It's always been needing that small four. They used to have it in Dylan Brooks. But they can use another piece to really contend in the West. And I'd like to see him mesh with that team for sure. He shoot, he play defense, they run.

He'd fit in perfect. Who do you think they trade, though? Because they can't give up two first-round picks for him. They cannot. No. Who do you think they give, though? Because they can't give up two first-round picks for him. They cannot. No. Who do you think they give up? They got to trade Marcus Smart. He's been injured.

Got to. Got to. Marcus Smart and a pick. Marcus Smart in the first. Maybe they wanted young players. Maybe. But Marcus Smart in the first. That's worth it.

But Marcus Smart, I think he made too much money. Or they might. I don't know if they make the same amount of money or not. Yeah, absorb something else. Yeah, the money going to have to. Yeah, I think the money going much money or they might I don't know if they make the same amount of money or not but yeah absorb something else yeah the money gonna have to yeah I think the money gonna have to match up

I think Marcus Smart might be at like 25 a year something like that oh he make less than Cam yeah so they're gonna have to throw another player

they're gonna have to throw another player or something in there to make the money work but do you give up Marcus Smart I don't think I don't think they want to give up Marcus Smart? I don't think, I don't think they want

to give up Marcus Smart. Shit. Hey, let's wild out. Give up two first round picks, a young player, and get, get Cam Johnson and get Cam Thomas.

Hell no. Wild out. Let's make this a full 2K team. I'm on pure bullshit right now. This is not GMO. I don't get rid of Marcus Smart for Cam. I don't think you do.

You need a backup guard. I mean, Scottie Pippen Jr. has been great. But you need a... In a playoff run, you need a Marcus Smart. You do a good defender. But Cam is a good defender as well, 6'8". I'm not saying he's not, but it's just like the intangibles that Marcus got.

Like the small things. He's going to take a charge randomly. He's going to go get that loose ball, that rebound. And they need that. It's grit and grind. They need that grit. And he's the only player over there besides,

you know, like, he's Tony Allen for them. Yeah. For sure he is. He bring that energy. Yeah, that energy when he healthy. I'm just okay

with sacrificing that, though. I'm not. All right. And not to say Cam Johnson's not a good player, but he's a finesse player. I'm not saying he's soft or weak, but he's a finesse player. I'm not saying he's soft or weak, but he's a finesse player.

Like, he makes shots. He can guard a little bit. But it's something about that grind. Like, Gigi Jackson back, too. Yeah, I can't wait to see. He kind of got that grit and that grind, too, a little bit. And I think him and Marcus Smart really fit that.

That was a good pickup for them. That mold that Memphis got. For sure. Yeah, another piece we'll stay tuned with for sure. Maybe they'll give up Conkart. Whatever his name. No, not Luke Conard, John Conkart. They cop with him.

I know. Everybody do. Yeah. He's one of the favorites in the league. If y'all don't know, I used to do scouting. People love him. Nah, for sure. People love him. You might be able to give him up for Cam Johnson do scouting people love him nah for sure people love him

you might be able to give him up for Cam Johnson and a pick or something yeah as long as you give him a 12 you got a chance for sure Lakers got a dub yesterday 111 to 88

Bron had a triple dub yesterday granted they did play the Wizards so we'll take that with a grain of salt I know we got to rule for 100, T. We got to rule for 90.

Kuz or Jordan Poole didn't do shit. Nah, I put money on them. Even Brian picked them like, yeah, they going to show up. They going to show up. Shit me. Niggas didn't show shit. They ain't scored 90 points.

That's what I went. Had a great time. 21-13-10 for Bron. I don't even know if they played. Did they play? Yeah, they played. I didn't watch that game. Yeah, they played.

They clocked in. Good men is too. They clocked in for a show. AD had 29-16-5 and four blocks. Lakers 23-18. They're six in the West. They're going to trend up

or trend down for the rest of the season? Trend down. They're going to go up. Think they trended rest of the season trend down they're going to go up think they trended up yeah okay where they at right now they right behind your Clippers

you like man right there we'll beat their ass we'll fuck them up in the playoffs you think in a series the Clippers will beat the Lakers on everything

ooh that's tough bro if Kawhi back we beat we'll beat their ass if they make a trade and get Valanchunas, y'all not going to beat them. All right. I don't want them to get Rob Williams.

I love Rob. Me too, Bob. Tom Lord. I love him. That's my dog. One of my favorite teammates. He was so cool. Super cool.

I just don't want him to go to the Lakers. You ever seen that's a possibility? Yeah, I don't want him. That ain't for him? No. I don't want him. That ain't for him? No. I don't want no smoke. No, and if he get hurt,

you know what I mean? He done had a bunch of injuries, so I don't got time for the Lakers to be, oh, we traded for this. they gonna be disrespected.

Because he a good dude and I don't got time for him to be reading that kind of stuff. For sure. Brian Cole, though. Still elite, bro.

Elite, bro. Elite, bro. Yeah, bro. Bless you. We definitely got a highlight for him as well. Bruce Brown's another pickup that they said might be a possibility for them.

Yeah, it'd be a good pickup. I mean, damn. He would fit that team perfectly. What he doing, though? Like, why they holding him out? Like, he don't even play, man. Toronto's like, hey, you are an asset.

Yeah, but like, how much you got to trade for? It gotta be a secondround pick at this point. Has to be, bro. Y'all don't even play him. He got no value. He don't play. And it's rumored if they don't get a deal,

they possibly may buy out. I don't know. They don't want him on the roster the rest of the year, but I think they're just hoping us out to get another pick from that trade. Yeah, I never understood his situation in Toronto really much. Yeah, he got traded, obviously, with the patient situation, but we gave him that contract.

Yeah, we gave him the big money. Everybody kind of used that as a bargaining chip, because they were just like, well, next year, it's still an expiring contract. He got traded for Seattle? Yeah, that's when he was hooping. Yeah, I heard you. We gave him a nice-ass deal, because it was like 25 the first year. Yeah yeah he got a fire deal

after coming off that championship they traded with a big piece need him back I think I think the Lakers can go for Bruce Brown

and Jonas Valanciunas you know what's crazy they could probably get both of them for like second round picks that'd be dope though if they got both of them I ain't gonna lie

if they get them to add to their team I think they'd be really really good yeah they'd be decent for sure because I don of them I ain't gonna lie if they get them to add to their team I think they'd be really really good yeah they'd be decent for sure cause I don't think Dorian Finney-Smith

no disrespect I don't think he fit the Lakers they been calling him Black Amout on Twitter y'all gotta chill out man why they call him that they be calling him Black Amid

it's the Black Amout they be putting Black Amid on my A-Man don't do that man like that bro that's why niggas don't like playing for the Lakers he ain't been here for three weeks

now we get disrespected like that's not his That's why niggas don't like playing for the Lakers. He ain't been here for three weeks. Now we're getting disrespected. That's not his vibe, though. It's really not. He got to go back to Dallas, bro. Yeah. He need to be around team love. The whole Jesus embracing.

He's not. He got to be around the vibes. He was being good in Memphis. You got to be around teams with vibes. Like, the Lakers ain't got no vibes. Like, anytime you go to the Lakers, it just look like bad vibes over there. Yeah, but Brian's tired of picking niggas up, bro. Tired of teaching niggas a game. It look like nobody get along on that team.

It look like Brian and AD only talk to each other. And, like, Austin Reeves get in some of the conversations. Everybody else just kind of... Yeah, bro. This is work. Like, Brian's so much older than everybody else.

They just like look at him as like, damn, they're the GOAT. You know what I mean? That's Brian. Like, damn. Yeah, Brian go home,

go to work, bro. Yeah, he talk to AD every once in a while. Brian at work, where he's sleeping, bro. I'm just saying, he's on there 20, bro. We don't want to go drink wine, bro. Yeah. Where's the tequila, bro? Yeah, for real. son, bro. I'm just saying, he's on there 20, bro. We don't want to go drink wine, bro.

Yeah. Where's the tequila, bro? Yeah, for real. The vibes, it ain't just the vibes. Like, damn, man. Like, they know, like, I don't know

who went to his birthday party, but the songs he was playing at his birthday party. Yeah, they wouldn't tap the answer. The Youngster Boy did. That's the shit. I don't believe that, bro. They played a video.

As soon as he leave, you're going to start hearing people say, you know, they're going to have some quotes from people that was cool with him and everything. Yeah. I mean, less is more. That's a crazy quote. I always hate when that happens. Jimmy had to come back and step on shit about that.
