Happy Monday, happy Black History Month. It's the favorite sports show in the world. It's 5.20 in the morning. Here to keep you up to date on everything that's sports world related, especially basketball. I'm your host.

My name is DJ Wells. Join this wonderful morning by my two brothers to my left, Bishop Henderson to my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? What's happening, my boy? What's going on? Ironically, you said Black History Month and everybody, all these black dudes getting traded.

That's crazy. Yeah, we started off Black History Month talking about a white man. Shout out to Luka Dodgers, man. But let's get to the craziest trade that happened on Sunday. Listen, we got a dope pod dropping today at 12 p.m. We covered this fully. We want to keep you up to date as well. De'Aaron Fox went to the Spurs.

Zach LeMahieu to the Kings. Three-team deal. Bullets got active as well. They picked up Trey Jones, Zach Collins, and Kevin Horch. I want to ask y'all, off the rip, does this make the Kings a contender in the next couple years? No. Excuse me, Spurs, rather, not the Kings.

We know they ain't contending for shit. Contenders is crazy. I'd like to see how they mesh first, though. It's good that they kept, you know, they valuable pieces, though. Yeah. I always ask that because you got an all-NBA player in De'Aaron Fox, and then you got one of the best players in the world, a victory with Bayona.

That's a hell of a kickstart to you. Yeah, I think they got a dynamic duo. Okay. I got to see the other pieces around them. I don't like all the pieces around them. I like Vassell. He's cool. I know I love Castle.

But they're going to need some more veteran leadership around there, some guys that just fit in well. Obviously, De'Aaron Fox is a star, like you said. Wimby's a star. But as far as their team making noise, that might be tough. They might be better two or three years. I'd give them a chance to be really competing. But that's a dynamic deal.

They're in the playoff contention right now, right? Most definitely. They're right there in the play. They're in the play for sure right now. Oh, well. And we talked about them. I only asked earlier what they were talking about their roster week, but they've been decent so far this year, about 500.

Yeah, but I mean, as a contender, though, like to compete with OKC and them guys, I mean, now you got a dynamic duo who's going to make noise. I mean, De'Aaron Fox is an elite guard, one of the top guards in the league, and you got Wimby, an all-world talent. Arguably, they could be good, but it's just some of those key pieces that they're going to need

just to get over that hump to be a contender. And I just don't see it right now, but in a year or two, maybe. For sure. Listen, man, Rick Wimby, I think it's better year by year and to have somebody like De'Aaron Fox in the backcourt,

that's elite for sure when I say I feel about especially UT you know players get criticized about their coming out and saying where they want to go and what they want to make

but then we see some of these front offices with the situation where AD getting blindsided he's a champion you know you got to deny deny but you feel like

it's cool the fact that Pearson like controlled their destiny yeah cause you don't like I love that you're that good that you can tell people where you want to go

and people can make it happen because a lot of us get blindsided when we did play. You don't know you're getting traded. You might not even want to get traded. Like you said, like AD, he probably loved living in LA. Probably set up his whole life

to be in LA for the rest of his career. And out of nowhere, he get traded to Dallas and he had no control over that. So if you can take control of the situation, why not? I mean, and people always talk about loyalty and what people should do in that situation. Well, there ain't no loyalty in this game.

Clearly, AD was loyal to the soil. Like, he was ready to stay in L.A. for sure. That was career, I mean, career retarded. Oh, beautiful. I just see him get a new game system set up in there, but that's another story. But, it ain't no loyalty in the game

on either side. So, I understand the players are going where they want to go. I understand Jimmy Butler's telling him, I'm not going to sign nowhere but Phoenix. I get it all. And I understand it.

And it's just part of the business. Most definitely. You know what, it's like for you, what would you be on if you was in a situation like you was on a Brad Bill, like, hey, I told you I hold the cards. You going to wild for you, what would you be on if you was in a situation like you was on a Brad Bill? Like, hey, I told you I hold the cards.

You going to wild out a little bit or you going to just play smooth? If I'm Brad Bill? Just saying somebody like him who, you know what I'm saying, you know it. Y'all got to find lots of straight through me. Oh, yeah. It depends on who it is though. I'll be open. If it makes sense, if y'all going to send me to a contender

where I can go feel like I can win now, I'm going to go. But shit, if I'm Brad Bill, I done probably made all the money I want to. I don't want to go from the Suns to the Wizards. Or a team like the Wizards or Charlotte. Dang, that's crazy, man. You would

never want to go regress like that, especially later in your career. That's going to be like a slap in the face sometimes. I've been understanding why players feel the way they feel because a lot of times, like you said, T, they get the shorter than the stick pause. How was it when you, like, cool with people in your team?

Like, you was just kicking it with these dudes yesterday, you had a lock-in all season, now you got to go bomb with some new people. There ain't none. Everybody know each other in the league. Okay.

So if you get traded, it's damn near an 80% chance you're going to be cool with somebody on another team. Okay. You know, everybody that played AAU to be cool with somebody on another team. Okay. You know, everybody that played AAU

growing up might have been on a team that y'all both got traded from a team or whatever. Now y'all linked back up somehow or some dude that you just met All-Star weekend

and y'all was cool, y'all was vibing or another All-Star that you might have in that situation played in the Olympics with or been on an All-Star team with. So somebody,

you're going to vibe with somebody. Like, thinking of AD, he ain't about coached by Jared, played with Jared Dudley, not Jared Dudley a coach. I don't know who else on that roster, but I'm sure he probably played with a couple dudes on that roster. He cool with Kyrie already. So, I mean, you'll

learn. Miami just need to go ahead and let Brad Bill and Jimmy Butler swap, man. Let's get it done. That's what you think they should do? Get it done. Bradley and Bam, I'll fuck with that. That'll be tough.

Tyler Hero? That'll be tough. Does Tyler Hero move to the PG if they make a move like that? He can. Yeah, I was going to say, I ain't mad at him. I was going to ask, is there any— He's not playing PG anyway, right? I was going to say, he's been controlling the offense anyway. Is there any untouchables in the league?

No. I thought Luka was untouchable. Sure. I would probably say Steph Curry probably the only untouchable. Damn. Well, I was going to say Giannis, but shit, he was in the...

Well, I think that was Giannis forcing the hand more or less than the one to trade him. But I guess it might be Yo, Giannis, SGA, outside of that, everybody else can go? Yeah, I think a was Giannis forcing a hand more or less than them wanting to trade him. But I guess it might be, yo, Giannis, SGA, outside of that, everybody else can go? Yeah, I think a motherfucker would trade Bron. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I think they got a good enough offer. They'd let Bron go. Yeah. Luka just changed the whole lot of shit. Yeah. And also, I mean, on that Luka trade, obviously we know Luka Doncic went to the Lakers.

AD went to Dallas. Did you see that, like, Nico got some clearances in that situation? Like AD waving a trade kicker and stuff like that. And them getting some exceptions as far as the Tim Hardaway trade. They got some more bread. They can make another move.

How would y'all feel about Jimmy down there in Dallas? It don't make sense. I don't think him and Kyrie mesh well. That's interesting. But that would be a fire team, though. I think they would, though. I feel like they can make that work, bro.

Attitude-wise, if they can make it work, if he goes to the side, I think they'd be a great team. But their personality is real strong, bro. I think Kyrie like a different person now, though. Okay. He's like super cool. I mean, he's always been cool. But the way his teammates vibing a different person now, though. Okay. Like, he don't, he's like super cool. I mean, he always been cool, but the way his teammates vibing with him right now, he just be vibing with everybody.

He on good vibes, man. You could tell he had peace with whatever he came peace with. Oh, yeah, whatever he was going through, the league had him on bullshit. I'm just like, from a mental standpoint, I'm like, damn, you lose Luka who goofy, always playing, great teammate. Not saying Jimmy ain't, but you gambling bringing him in

not knowing if he gonna stay. You just don't know. Yeah, I mean, it's a gamble that he won't stay, but if you get Jimmy Butler on your team and Jimmy is ready to play basketball, Jimmy is one of the best teammates you could ever have. Now, if Jimmy mad at the front office, know what it is,

Jimmy going to be mad at the front office. He ain't going to be nothing against you. He going to love his teammates, but he going to be an asshole. See, Jimmy like the nigga that come home after a rough day at work. His wife that pissed him off. I'm like, hey, Dave. Sit your motherfucking ass day, that's what worked.

Nah, he ain't even, he like gonna joke with you still. He gonna be Jimmy. And then as soon as one of the front office dudes walk by us, this bitch ass nigga. Like, he gonna be, he just not gonna fuck with him.

Like, he gonna do everything with his teammates. Like, when he got traded and we was on the plane, he was joking with us. And they came up from, he like, what the fuck you want? Like, can he got traded and we was on the plane, he was joking with us. And they came up from, he like, what the fuck you want? Like, can you come back

here with us? He got traded. On the team plan, it's crazy. Yeah. That is wild. As soon as we got in the air, he got traded.

We on that bitch drinking. We started drinking. He like, Teague, I'm going to Philly. Me, Joel. He start naming they team. I'm like, who we get? Dope. Dope. Shout out to Rob. Rob Co Joel, he start naming their team. I'm like, who we get?

Don't shout to Rob. Rob Covington, that's my dog. Y'all got Rob Covington. I'm like, what the fuck? That's it. They had a whip in Philly, too. I'm like, where the fuck is Ben Simmons? Oh, it's icy. I'm like, we got Ben Simmons, right? They like, nah, y'all got Rob Covington and Dario.

I'm like, who? Dario Sarich? They like, nah, y'all got Rob Covington and Dario. I'm like, who? Dario Sarge. Damn. I said, nah, ain't no fucking way. They like, yeah. Hey, while we're here, you see the business? Looking to get bought out to go beat with a contender? Yeah.

Let's go. I'm telling y'all now, like Zion, Zion killing, though. Zion, you know, he a dog. But Ben go somewhere, I'm telling y'all, he gonna be different. Where he gonna go? I'm not buying the fool's goat again. All right. It feels like the

offseason workouts. No, bro. The teams are trash now. Send that boy to somebody who can win right now. Oh, it's up, bro. Where you think he can go? Where he not in the way.

Clippers. Ooh, I don't like him and James together. I do. He can let him play his natural position of four. I don't like him and James together. I do. He can let him play his natural position of four. I got to call him Peasy. If M. Peasy cool with it, then I'd fuck with it. Yeah, he need to go play his natural position.

Everybody keep talking about that. Because they might have to trade. You might have to trade M. Peasy for Ben Simmons. Hell no. They going to want something, Jeff. I agree with you. You're going to get a buyout, bro. He's going to be on free will.

And if the Clippers traded Norman Powell for Ben Simmons, they're going to want something, Jeff. I agree with you. They're going to want something. He's going to get a buyout, bro. He's going to be on free will. And if the Clippers traded Norman Powell for Ben Simmons, they're going to get fired forever. If it's a buyout, let him go wherever. No body's trading for Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons is going to ride in the Nets. He's going to have to get a buyout. Yeah, bro. They're going to buy him out.

Go to Denver. Turn up. But if he go to Clippers, Lakers. Ben Simmons go to Lakers. that'd be ridiculous, bro. Just saying. He need to go play his natural position, bro. He's a good defender, and he's a four. Dang.

Now, Ben Simmons go play the four for the Likers, yeah. I'm with that. He has to go play the four, though. He need to transition his game to Draymond Green. Like, the point guard shit is dead. Like, go be the four. He ain't good enough. Like, he don't shoot good enough to be Borismond Green. Like, the point guard shit is dead. Like, go be the four. He ain't good enough. Like, he don't shoot good enough to be Boris DL.

Tell him to go be Jared Jeffries. Yeah, that's who he is now. After the back surgeries or whatever happened to him, he just ain't responding. Like, the Ben Simmons we all fell in love with. Jared Jeffries is crazy. Yeah, bro. It's quiet, bro.

I just think he's doing this, bro, for shits and giggles, bro. No way you just start hooping like this. Yeah, no way you just start hooping like this. Well, we'll keep you up to date as well. One of the best in the straight figure is a lot of things will probably happen this week. Crazy games yesterday. Celtics came back down from 26 yesterday to take care of the 76ers, 118 to 110. JT had 35, 11 to 7.

He was hooping yesterday. JB had 21, 10 to 6. He was hooping yesterday. JB had 21, 10 to 6. Tyrese Maxey had 34 yesterday, but he only had two points in the fourth. They finished the game with a 51 to 18 run, man. Yeah, I was watching that game, and the Sixers was balling at first. They was playing, you know,

they had all them people out. PG was out, Embiid out, Drummond out, and they was just playing on the high. And then you just see the Celtics kicking an overdrive. And it's like, when the Celtics get rolling, bro, ain't nothing you can do. Yeah. After this all-star break,

little rest they going to get, bro, it's going to get wicked again. It's definitely going to get wicked again. Listen, man, it's crazy that JT ended the MVP race. I know people have been outstanding years as well but I mean like the Celtics is quote unquote falling back in there

in second place yeah this ain't this ain't his year I mean he having a hell of a year but SGA is just we not we not sleep Jason

I promise we not but I swear to God if you win this fucking MVP bro if they cheat SGA two years in a row bro I'ma know something yeah SGA it's in a row, bro, I'm going to know something. Yeah, SGA.

It's this. It's the lose. It's cool, Jason. Go get finals MVP, bro. That's what's important. But he having that. Jason having a hell of a year. Yeah, 27, 8, and 8.

There's nothing to say. It's just not loud enough. It ain't. But if he win that finals MVP, I'm all for that. Oh, that's what we care about. But that finals MVP mean more than league MVP damn near.

Mm. To me. I agree. For him especially, though. Yeah, to me. I feel like it, period. Bro, I got a chip. And I was the best nigga

in the chip. Fuck a league MVP. Nah, nah. I don't agree with that. Because there's no I love DJ know how I feel

about Andre Goddard game pause. But him winning it, bro, you wasn't the best player. And then I love DJ know how I feel about Andre Goddard game pause but him winning it bro you wasn't the best player and uh Brian should've got it

if you got it yeah that was just you know what I'm saying that was circumstance I think that shit is just different like for Jason Tatum all the scrutiny and shit

like yeah he needs it but alright put it this way a finals MVP them two finals MVPs, right? Kawhi got two of them, right? Or one?

Oh! I don't know. Kawhi got a finals MVP. He got two. He got one of those? I didn't know if he got one of those. Yeah, he won that. Yeah.

I want to say yes, but. No, he did. But that solidified him as. Oh, yeah, respect. Way more than if he won league MVP. He don't even give a fuck about awards during the year. He don't, bro. He play half the season.

He is the black Jokic, bro. And then when he get the final MVP, it's like different, bro. Yeah, bro. He got two of them things. Yeah. You in a special class when you get them finals MVP because everybody can't.

I mean, you in a special class when you get league MVP too. But it's just like. It's harder to get the finals. You right. Then you go up to this list of people who got two of them. Why MJ not on there? That's just people

who got it twice. They're going to say, why the hell is Michael Jordan not on there? But Kobe, Kawhi, KD, Larry Bird, Kareem, Willis Reed, they ain't a bad list

to be a part of for sure. Damn, Shaq should be on there too. He probably got it three times. Oh, okay. That's what it is. Yeah, I was going to say, yeah. Okay. I was about to say.

Yeah, I was going to say, where is Michael Jeffrey Jordan on that list? I know damn sure he got some finals MVPs for sure. Yeah, man, a good comeback for the Celtics for sure. I don't know if the Mavs was protesting yesterday because they got their ass whooped yesterday from the Cavs. 144-101. A 50-point first quarter is crazy for the Cavs. Come on, 91 in the first half. I know Klay Thompson.

Like, boy, y'all got me fucked up. Man, I done came over here. I done left Golden State. Y'all doing this shit. Oh, y'all. Klay, you should have went to Memphis. You don't listen. We should have stayed his ass in Golden State.

This shit took your ass. He want to leave, bro. He kind of said that shit, though, in a way. I was listening to one of his off-season videos, and he was like, man, I let people get in my head. I was still playing good ball, averaging 18, and I let people get in my head. I was like, it sounds like you telling me you shouldn't have left.

Yeah. You could tell. I ain't going to say the regret, but you could tell. He kind of spoke about how he treated everybody in a way. I could have saved this if I ain't gonna say the regret but you can tell he kind of spoke about how he treated everybody on the way I like I could've saved this

if I wasn't on that I could've easily came back to the team if I wasn't on that that whole year yeah don't highlight that we're not gonna do Clay

LeBron going to South Beach or KD going to Golden State probably LeBron the interview with the YMCA that was smart bro probably LeBron cause nobody ever would see LeBron leaving Cleveland I don't know if I've seen KD That was smart, bro. It's probably LeBron because nobody ever would see LeBron leaving Cleveland. I don't know if I've seen KD LeBron.

It is probably LeBron because he happened first. D-Bot to Charlotte? Oh, those are trades. Yeah, that's early shit. See, looking at that list, hell nah, bro. Allen Iverson getting traded

to Denver was big, but it wasn't. The timing was different. If it was two years earlier, we would have felt differently about that. Yeah, Luka is like, that's up there, bro. He didn't even reach his prime yet.

Exactly, bro. So how does Atlanta feel about this? Do they feel like they want to try it? Because now there's no circumstances in the situation now. They don't got Luka on Dallas no more, but we still got Trae Young. Same with the Kings. We talked about it in the pod, but we still got Trae Young. Same with the Kings.

We talked about it in the pod, but damn, that went from three-point guards to zero. I don't know. Everybody else will grab us, bro. I don't know. Shout out to my Hawks, though. We stay intact. So, goodwill to some of the Mavs. Also, our reserves, man.

We didn't get to talk about this because it dropped last week. When we were gone for the week, Damn. The reserves for the Eastern Conference, Jalen Brown, Cade Cunningham, Darius Garland, your favorite white boy, Tyler Hero, Dame Lillard,

Evan Moby, P. Skills, Trey, Melo. Did they get snubbed? Y'all got it. I ain't going to say they got snubbed because everybody having

a significant year for their team. Pascal, I didn't see coming. But when you look at where the Pacers are, he probably deserve it. Yeah, I was going to say with the injuries to both the Orlando Magic players, because they probably would have had that spot for sure.

France or Apollo would have had that spot. But I ain't mad at P.S. Gills. He averaging 21-7. Yeah, I ain't mad at that. Can't be mad at Tyler Hero. Can't be mad at Dame Lillard. Definitely not mad at K cutting him. So I don't know where.

Maybe they could have beat out Darius Garland. Trae Young could have. But Darius Garland's team is number one, and they winning by 50. Mm-hmm. I don't know how it's supposed to work, though. LaMelo should have been an all-star. We need LaMelo. He hurt.

He don't play enough games, and they don't know how it's supposed to work, though. LaMelo should have been All-Star. We need LaMelo. He hurt. He don't play enough games, and they don't win. If he didn't play, if that's the case, him not playing enough games, okay. I'm okay with that. But looking at those two teams. Oh, the West is washing the East. That's light. Come on, man.

Shagun, All-Star. Jaren Jackson Jr., how y'all feel about that selection? I'm proud of him. Okay. Two-time all-star, James Harden. Did we supposed to do? Of course. Anthony Davis about to be in the all-star game with the Mavs jersey.

Turned up. Yeah. I made it as a Laker. You are a Dallas Maverick now, so you're wearing a Dallas jersey in this game, which is fire, by the way. I made it as a liker. You are a Dallas Maverick now, so you're wearing a Dallas jersey in this game. Which is fire, by the way. I'm happy for... You would never wear the purple coat again. The West looked like

how the video games used to look. You know, when you play East versus West, and you had MJ and all them, that's what it looked like. The East, that shit looked like when I made it. Some random niggas. They ain't random, but it's just like,

yeah, we made it. Wow, that's real shit though, bro. Yeah. That is a team-winning All-Star team. Yeah, that's like a Hall of Fame All-Star team. You know how on the All-Star team you always had them random dudes? Like, one year it was like

Christian Laettner. Yeah. Roy Hibbert made an All-Star. That's Jaron Jackson. Like, he just was random. Antonio McDyess. Yeah, like, or Antonio Davis for that.

It's like, he was like, he didn't make an All-Star in Toronto. Yeah, he'd just be having like a random dude. That's him. And not saying he random because Jaron Jackson cold,

but it's just like, compared to this team, all these dudes is Hall of Famers. Steph Curry, Hall of Fame, Kevin Durant, Hall of Fame. Shade,

MVP. Jalen is random too. Well, Brian going to be Hall of Fame. Now Cole is going to be Hall of Fame. I think Dave is going to be Hall of Fame. I think Edwards got potential to be Hall of Fame. You the reason Jalen Williams made an all-star team,

bro. Nah, he cold. He been hooping, bro. He ass, bro, but.

Did he take an impeacy spot? I think, yeah. I think he would have been random as hell. Bro been hooping, bro. He ass, bro, but... Did he take an NPEC spot? I think, yeah. Mm, NPEC would have been random as hell. Bro, we deserve to be like this. But nah, he deserve it. I'm not hating, bro. He deserve it. Go to the stats.

That's what I'm saying. The winning, worst stats is crazy. He deserve it, but I'm the number one team in the West. 21-5-5. 21-5-5. And we beating shit. Number one team in the West. I'm a better second option than you, bro.

Cat, my first option is so much better than your first. And Paisley, 24. Your first option. Three and two. He shooting 50% of the field. He shooting 47, though. Come on, bro. I'm a better second option than you.

Nah. That Williams a young gun, though, so I get it. If I had to pick a team I'm picking the youngster but My first option is so much more dominant than yours right now

at this time. So I don't even get as many touches bro. Damn man. That shit. Damn man. Like they got 36

38 wins. For the people who said Sabonis over Jaren Jackson Jr. look at the records. That's all that conversation is. Yeah. That's all it is. That's all it is. Look Jaren Jackson Jr., look at the records. That's all that conversation is. Yeah,

that's all it is. That's all it is. Look at the records, bro. Look at what, three in the West? Yeah. That's what that was. That shit ain't fun, bro.

That shit ain't fun. But the East, the East probably gonna win, but on paper, they look like they're supposed to get smacked. I don't even know how they're playing anyway,

so it's like, what, three or four teams? Yeah, they're doing that draft shit. It's four teams. The Rots and Suns winners play as the fourth team in the tournament. We'll see. I don't even know how they playing anyway so it's like what three or four teams yeah they doing that draft shit it's four teams the Risesons winners play as the fourth team in the tournament

we'll see I don't even care to be honest so I don't know they starting five ain't slight though especially based off this year I mean you got all

the high framers on the other side yeah but it's just like you said it's all let's go player for player like just how they got it matched up you got Giannis and Steph

well they cancel each other out they both great. Kevin Durant, Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson cold, but an all-star game, he ain't meant for that.

That ain't what he built for. Nah. Shea and Donovan, Shea ain't going to play hard. Donovan Mitchell, he be hooping in an all-star game. He forgot where I go get it.

Yeah. LeBron, he hoops. Jason going to try to hoop. Jokic don't give a fuck. At all. He going to suck down the first two minutes. Yeah, the East probably going to win.

They got some people trying to prove themselves. Tyler Hill going to try to kill. I'm looking at them lists, man. Damn, man. Get well soon, man. No M-Peasy, no Trae Young, no LaMelo, no Sabonis. A couple games took place last night. Let's get through this as well.

Excuse me. Pistons beat the Bulls 127-119. Boots had a triple-double, 20-11-10. I hope he got his bags packed as well because he'll probably be moving soon. Kobe White had 22. Kay Cunningham had 22-15. The Raptors beat the Clippers yesterday, 115-108. That's what I'm saying.

Shit like this. James Howard had 25-75. RJ Barrett had 27-6 as well the Grizzlies beat the Bucks yesterday hell of a win yesterday 132-119

JJJ Triple J 37-5 D-Bay had 22-9 37 bro I wasn't out here to get rebounds bro I was putting the ball in the basket

Giannis had 30-11-7 Chris Milton had 20-4 and then Dame had 15-9. That's a hell of a win for the Grizzlies. Yeah, that's a good one. Man. Come on, keep losing. Milwaukee left the Pacers.

Stay in that false spot for sure. A couple games tonight. See how y'all feel. Wizards at Hornets. Go be with your family. Hornets. Gotta say the Hornets. Yeah, I don't care how you're going to say it.

I like the Wizards. Just trying to win anyway. Hawks at P't care how you're going to say it. It ain't like the Wizards are trying to win anyway. Hawks at Pistons. I guess I could say Pistons today. I'm going to take the Pistons at home. That's tough. Go Pistons. Rockets at Knicks. Rockets.

Good game. For sure, man. I'm going to take it to college basketball, man. SEC freshman, Kyla Blakes from Vanderbilt. She had 53. That's good money in my book. I'm going to go with Aaron Wiggins on Saturday. He went with 41-14.

That's crazy. A lot of people don't know him. I don't know KC. I mean, he started to make a name for himself. 41-14 is crazy. Saturday, Trae Young, we're crazy. 34-17. All in the lost up, but shit. 17 assists. There's nothing to see. That's for sure, man. That and 14 is crazy. Shit, Saturday, Trae Young, we're crazy. 34 and 17. Yeah.

All in the lost, though, but shit, 17 assists. There's nothing to see. He's out for show, man. That's what we do. He got stubbed. He got trade. That's crazy, man,

that they treat Trae Young like that. He said, don't call it nothing else. Just call it you got trade. That's crazy. And he got every right to say that, though. He should have made

the All-Star team multiple times, like way more times. But, damn, it is what it is. You will soon be hearing who needs to start that week off with some encouragement. Probably the Mavs. 91-46. It's crazy, bro.

That is nuts. They said the rest of their stars, you know, they just had to trade, but 50 balls is crazy, bro. That's nuts. The rest of the stars know they just had a trade, but 50 Balls is crazy, bro. That's insane. That Mavs organization, the city of Dallas. I have friends in Dallas, bro. They are shitty, bro. People are upset.

The Cowboys already suck. It ain't the LeBron effect, like when LeBron left Cleveland. Nah, but it's close. But it's close, bro. Oh, yeah, bro. Oh, yeah, bro. It's close, bro. Like the economy ain't going down. Hell nah.

But that team, that fan base is hurt. Shit. Yeah, y'all for sure get well soon. The caskets was definitely necessary. The funny part about it is Cleveland said, they hurt and we still don't get what they asked in the first half, bro. We almost put up a hundred and a half

it's crazy for sure I'm gonna give Mikey Wells some of the Giannis man young boy Gigi Jackson on vert

give me that shit I fuck with Gigi I can't wait till he get all the way back so he can hoop a job, man. Hit that young talent they was looking for. He was just having to be hurt.

Our young players, it's him, Jalen Wells, and Zach Eady. They got a nice young whore that got something built within the future for sure. Memphis do a great job of drafting. They do. They find good draft picks. Like you said, Concar, everybody want him. D-Bane. Yeah, they do a good job for sure.

They got a guy for talent. Damn. The only one they missed on was the kid from, what was his name? He went to Sierra Canyon with Bronny and him. Recently? Yeah, they drafted him in the first round. I forgot what he went. I think he might have went to Stanford.

Yeah, I don't know. He played with Bronny in the Messier King. Zaire. Who? Zaire. He went to Stanford? I think I don't remember.

I think he went to Texas A&M. I could be wrong. No, I think he went to Stanford, I think. Yeah, I don't know exactly who you're talking about.

He went to Sierra King with Zaire Williams, isn't it? Yeah. Definitely not Zaire Wade. Zaire. he went to Stanford

right and he ain't claiming his set he went to Stanford there we go yeah he went to Stanford there we go okay

He hoop every time he play the Celtics. It's all smoke. Yeah. He does not look like no NBA player, bro. He don't look like he can move until he start dunking on everybody. And Bron found out.

He look like Main Event from N1. That's funny as hell. If Main Event panned out, he would've been game. That's crazy. That's the funniest shit with all them. N1, they used to think they could go to the league I really think Ali Mo could've made it bro

man he was cold the black widow R.I.P I remember A.O. and them did them NBA workouts nigga they could not stand a chance nah A.O.

it's quiet man when they used to show them working out in the running match I'm like y'all dying on down and backs yeah it's sleep for the league yeah yeah yeah

it's quiet it was over y'all had too many pushups y'all wasn't doing no push-ups. That was a wild era. What was the nigga that looked like Kenyon Martin? You talking about 50? 50.

He was so weak. 50. Talking about he had a 50-inch vertical. That nigga did all one-hand rim grazers. Oh, boy, he did that 720. What was my boy day? Era up there. Era up there. He had bounce, though. Like a motherfucker. He did that 720. What was my boy day? Air Up There. Yeah, Air Up There.

He had bounce though. Like a motherfucker. He did that 720. I remember nigga coming to them. When they used to come to the city, bro, they used to have bankers slapping. When the professor on tour, when it first started, bro, it was lit.

And the man's lost 700,000 followers last night. They lost 700,000 followers. Since they traded Luka? Since they traded Luka. They're going to lose some season ticket holders, too. They have to, bro. How'd that feel for Anthony Davis, though? Like, going into a situation where, basically, Luka was about to be, he was looked at to be the face of the league.

Yeah. And you get traded for him. And not saying that in your own right, you a Hall of Famer. You cold, but you going to a fan base that's going to be like, we don't want this shit. Damn near. Because they look at him as like damaged goods, bro. Yeah. That's what's fucking me up about this. I'm like, people are acting like Anthony Davis ain't like a first ballot Hall of Fame.

Like, he not elite still. Nah, DJ. I don't think they doing that. They like, we don't know if this nigga going to play. I think the people in Dallas is like, we know he good. I don't think they slow, but they like, shit, we don't know. Y'all just gave away a motherfucker that barely played. He was 25.

Y'all giving us a 30-year-old nigga now? I don't know. Ain't nothing. Ain't nothing, bro. I feel you. I'll be shit if I lost a look. I'm like, yeah, but Eddie ain't that bad. I just went to the fucking championship.

I don't know. I'm never going to understand this shit. This happened last year. You gave away Dirk. Literally, bro. Yeah, he was the next Dirk. The Dirk suite had me cracking up. He just put the eyes emoji.

Yeah, bro. Y'all gave up Dirk and y'all brought back Michael Finley, bro. Yeah. Know what I'm saying? They going to compare this in years. Like, damn, both the teams made it to the conference finals. Just said, fuck they team. Because T. Will traded Cat.

They go to the finals and get rid of Luka. Crazy thing is, though, I think, not on no funny shit, I think that Dallas is going to be good when all them niggas is on the court together, though. Oh, they got another move to make, too. They're not. Nico going to be cooked. Yeah, he going to be toast. But I think they got a good chance to be really, really good. Did you see

Jason Kidd's face when Nico was like, yeah, J. Kidd didn't even know either. His eyes got big as hell in them glasses. I said, yeah, Niko's like, yeah, three to four years from now, that's the future. Two years is the future. Me and J. may not be here. I said, oh, yeah, he just playing with house money at this point. Yeah, he just don't give a fuck. That's hard. He playing 2K, bro.

Yeah, he like, and Luka must have said something, like, fuck him. If I'm going to go out, I'm going to go out my way. Yeah. You're going to make history one way or another. Time will tell. Be here. Who trying to win some money today, man?
