on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Volume. Hey, man. I got niggas going away from what they had going on. It's like we had to do emergency pod. Patience is back up. Be here.

I'm showing my respect. Look, I knew we was good when I looked on Twitter and Behan said that's a good trade. Because you don't never respect the patience. No, and people was like, they just traded for Halliburton, Behan. I'm like, stop trying to fact check me, motherfucker. I'm talking about what they gave up

to get a type of player that is, bro. Like, they traded Sabonis for Halliburton, niggas. So, niggas at the time thought that was an even kill. Or,

you know what I'm saying? I think that's the best, one of the best trades in NBA history. What? Halliburton and Sabonis, they both won. Nah, facts. But that's what I'm saying. Like, in this, we ain history. What? Is it the Halliburton deal? Halliburton, Sabonis, they both won. Nah, facts.

But that's what I'm saying. Like, in this, we ain't looking at, like, the Toronto Raptors won. It's like, damn, the Pacers hit a lick. Nah, for real. Look. You know what I'm saying? I've had my qualms with the Pacers for over the years. I've definitely had issues with the front office.

But Kevin Pritchard, every time he makes a trade, he gets an all-star. And we got to respect it. And I didn't expect this deal to go that easy. I knew as time was coming, we knew that Pascal was going to leave. They weren't going to get all that shit they was asking for because he was just going to walk anyway. Hey, I fuck with the fact that we gave up Bruce Brown, who we didn't really need to keep no way.

And like you said, fuck them picks. Fuck them. For real, bro. We had three first-round picks this year. We could not pay for it. All of them dudes would stay on the roster anyway. And they wasn't going to be like that. No, not into the first round.

No disrespect, but I mean, there wasn't going to be nothing. College is down this year. It's bad. And that's another thing, too. I was going to say, the talent pool for this year's draft wasn't that high. Very bad. It's a bad draft. I mean, shout out to BB, but hey, that Pascal pickup, they couldn't pass that up, bro.

That's the best wing since PG. Listen. Hmm? On the Pacers? He the best wing since PG? Is he really a wing though? You're disrespecting Oladipo. Oladipo was all-star to your heart.

Oladipo was the best wing since PG. Give me Pascal over Oladipo. Not me. Pascal, I'll rock with him. Give me Pascal over Oladipo, bro. I don't think he got the same potential that... If Vic didn't get hurt, it was different. No, I love him.

It was different. I love Vic, but he got hurt. You know what I mean? It was different, though. Pascal's the real African. Listen, when... Shout out to Michael Baxson. The real Indian.

Shout out to Oladipo in the issue with this. Before Oladipo got hurt we really started forgetting about PG a little bit nah listen when KP first

made that trade to them we was just like okay like you know it was kind of up and down for a bit I was like

this ain't it when he made that trade I was like this ain't it even I wasn't even coming back but I was like yeah I'm glad

I didn't come back he got Oladipo and Sabonis then when I watched him during the year I'm like why y'all ain't keep me like why y'all ain't bring me back but he had I'm glad I didn't come back. He got Oladipo and Sabonis. Then when I watched him during the year, I'm like, why y'all ain't keep me?

Like, why y'all ain't bring me back? But he had flashes where he was, though, bro. But I just didn't think of him as that. And he came in here. They gave him the ball. Which, you know, too,

remember Orlando was kind of shaky. When he had OKC, he was fighting. And then when he came to Indiana, he said that offseason it was different.

Like, he took his offseason a lot more seriously. He knew, like, alright, time to get that bread. He played with Russ when Russ was really trying to force that triple-double. Not force it, but it was like, nigga, here, shoot that bitch. I'm passing it to you. So he built his confidence up. And when he got here, he's like, shit, it's green.

Took advantage of the opportunity. I think watching Russ make him who he was, he probably like, damn, if I go this hard all the time, because Russ go hard. Yeah. Back then, damn, if I go this hard all the time, because Russ go hard. Yeah. Back then, especially, that nigga was trying to get every rebound, score every point,

and get every assist. I don't even know how the fuck he was doing that. He was unbelievable, bro. I wish one day we could really talk and sit down with him like, nigga,

what steroid was you taking? Nah, for sure. Because, bro, he is ridiculous. I really would like to see, like you said, the time of possession he had during games

like how many like how much did he have the ball during the game nobody had it more than James Harden in NBA history nah that's noted Houston Dias

oh my god he had the ball the whole game Russ up there though and Bron up there crazy usage rates I can't wait till we watch when we ever talk when we sit down with Pat

I can't wait because I want to tell him like bro when we played y'all, I knew you wasn't getting the ball. Like, I literally. Oh, you're going to turn Pat up. He wasn't getting the ball.

That's what I'm saying. He gone. It's the truth, though. He just forgot, like, you got down. Oh, yeah, I can't wait to that part. So, do y'all think the Pacers are done, though? No, they're not done. Who?

The Pacers are not done with their deals. I don't know if they're going to make another major deal. Well, they got expired contracts. Y'all was so awful Miles Turner. And y'all, wrongfully, y'all,

he's playing great. He matches Halliburton. This is what I'll say about Miles. Jeff want to come build Legos with you, bro. Yeah, that's what you want to do.

Just tell me, what starship you want to do? I was hard on Miles, pause. Wow. Pause. Because him and Don Bosch never made this together.

The segment was just like... Pause. Wait a minute. Yeah. Pause. Listen, I was hard... Like, why did you say... No, I'm tapping to you.

I was... I'm a Hurt fan right now. I'm sorry. I'm tapping to your journalism, bro. I'm a Hurt fan. Because us having Don Bosch... Hey, that's a crazy journalism. The TD Jakes version.

But... Yeah. Miles and Don Bosch never made sense. Bro, her fan cuz I was having don't boss about and that's a crazy journalism the CD J's version but My house never made sense and we did that shit for three years I was like, all right We know miles is not gonna ever fucking rebound and they never gonna get along But I always respected miles cuz even though he has smut on his name, but he didn't deserve it The other shit off the court whatever but he's always who amongst trade rumors And I think that shit really hard to do like as a person who's been in them you still got to hoop doing that shit

and he was getting screwed and he didn't deserve it because we had a terrible coach and we had a terrible system but he's been

playing any like as good as you can ask for that nigga to play the last three years I literally always thought Miles was really good

like I'm probably one of Miles' biggest fans you are as a basketball player you know what it is like he gonna play defense he gonna block shots he gonna talk and then he gonna give you room to operate biggest fans. Yeah, you are. As a basketball player, you know what it is. Like,

he gonna play defense, he gonna block shots, he gonna talk. And then he gonna give you room to operate because that motherfucker will go to the corner, he'll set you a screen roll, he gonna make a shot,

and then he will run to the corner. That's what you, as a guard, that's what you want. Like, you gonna give me all this room

to work out in the paint and I can kick it out to you and you can make a shot? And he said you was one of his herpes to play with. I mean, because I gave him the ball, he could shoot. And he said you was one of his favorite PGs to play with. I mean, because I gave him the ball, he could shoot.

Hey, these two niggas, man. He did. He said in the interview, he said Jeff was one of his favorite PGs to play with. But y'all looking at it as a game like, why am I also going to block and just score on him? He's seven foot. I was the one who texted you after your first game back and was like, shit, y'all might have something. But y'all didn't have shit. Nah.

But I told y'all, I respected his game. I'm just more like, he didn't always come through, bro. When I seen James Harden post him up when we went to that game, bro, it bothered me. I'm sorry. James Harden's one of the strongest niggas in the NBA. I can't have my starting five getting posted up by James Harden.

No, he was guarding Miles in the post. No, no, no. Miles was guarding him. We was at the game. And he was guarding Miles in the post. No, Miles was guarding him. And he was posting Miles up. I had a severe problem with that. The day Melo got kicked off the team. Oh my mama, he ain't scored. Brandon Hendricks, were we not there? He wasn't there.

They was through with you. They were done with you. We were at the game. That's the day Melo's last day we were there middle of the first quarter the day that the whoever it was

the people got mad at me because I said Al Jefferson couldn't jump over a credit card that day I do remember that that we was there bro did not have tickets after that for those two weeks

and he was tearing Miles up he did not close Miles up he did it was nasty it's a true story bro from where to no no

block no it was a compliment I got I wish we could follow the foot I know the real It was nasty It's a true story bro Don't wear the elbow No no It was not the look No It was comfortable I got Miles I wish we could find a foot Fuck what they talk about I know the real bro

But Even as an irrational fan If you ain't got no fans Around this motherfucker I'm a fan You got fans bro People wear that 33 jersey

I got no respect for Miles IEP Whoa That's my He my favorite player On the Pacers Not mine But respects

But I will say about Miles He's crazy Who yours is I was the Pacers Not mine But respects But I will say About Miles He's crazy Who yours is I was a real zero I was a real zero I wore 44 I was gonna say

My nigga Sorry Sorry He's taking Halliburton Over Teague It's crazy Get the fuck out of here

Y'all see what Y'all see what I did To him in the summer I was there. My nigga kept him. I wasn't there. What'd you do? Nah, he went crazy.

We played in the Pro-Am. Shout out to BC Media. You got the footage. Nigga's gonna guard him. They can't guard me. I ain't saying I can guard him. Nah, it was tough. Nah, we know how you was.

That's funny. I wasn't even thinking about Zero. Nigga's a franchise. Facts. We need him. He's a Tim. Fuck them. They should have signed me.

It's crazy. They're a PG. Because CJ Biles didn't want to give up zero. Oh, that's wild. Damn, CJ. Shout out to CJ. We definitely want CJ on the show. So where y'all 34 at, nigga?

Boo. That's what I'm saying. Why you don't wear a 34? You wore a 34 in Utah. Oh, okay. That's probably for a different reason. Allegations. But the crazy thing is,

Miles, as Irrational Patience fans, we always was like, damn, I wish Miles did more. Then he's like, all right, who you going to trade? He's like, ooh, well, we ain't going to find another sitter as good as this nigga for what we pay him.

So Miles will just shut the fuck up and enjoy somebody that's an actual college player. Miles is a top ten center in the NBA. For sure. Miles earned his money on the Pacers. He deserves more. He's really underpaid. He's definitely underpaid. He's a top ten center who can shoot.

Most shit is I talk about you, bro. You earn your paper, though. Facts. Always leading the league in blocks. Y'all get mad at him for playing NBA. This is what I hate about NBA fans. Y'all be like, oh, Myles can't guard NBA. Who the fuck can guard NBA?

Average fucking 35. Like, what the fuck are y'all talking about? Like, you can't guard, James. Are you damn right? You average 35. Nobody can. See, that's not what y'all talking about. And you right.

Because you be like, bro, these are generational talents that nobody can stop. I just watched Joker and NBA play yesterday. And two guys go, and then she was gone. Yeah, like, what are y'all talking about? And you right. Because you be like, bro, these are generational talents that nobody can stop. I just watched Joker and NB play yesterday. And two nights ago, and that shit was great. Yeah, like, what are y'all talking about?

Miles can't guard Giannis. Who the fuck can? He got three MVPs, two, however many fuck he got. But then, my problem is, when you're guarding Mitchell Robinson

and you're still getting five rebounds, I'm a little pissed. Oh, man. Get the fuck out of here. No disrespect to Mitchell Robinson. Anyway, man. Shout out to Pascal for coming to nap.

We're not calling you Spicy P. I don't think that shit going. I don't really like it. Me, personally. I wish they would have got OG. I think the Knicks is better than the Pacers. We tried to. Did you see that?

That's why I said I fuck with Kevin Pritchard. He was like, hey, how much for OG and him? And it didn't work out. But I appreciate you at least trying. But I think OG is better. OG worked better with the real JR and Brunson, for sure work out, but I appreciate you at least trying. But I think OG is a better... OG worked better with the real J.R. and Branson,

for sure. Yeah, yeah. I think for that team, they needed him. And that's why everybody was talking about it. Now I think the Knicks

are a way better team than the Pacers. Oh, no. I won't smoke. Hell no. I won't smoke. I won't smoke. Even before Pascal,

I wasn't so up. What? I think the Knicks are a better team than them. They smoking y'all bro if they go back to them Knicks and Pacers that would be a beautiful sight

I mean probably won't add up for the playoffs but if we did I was taking the Knicks even though I love people on the Pacers but Tibbs

I'm rolling with Tibbs over who y'all coach Rick Carlisle yeah I'm rolling with Tibbs I'm gonna fuck with Rick yeah I'm rolling with Tibbs Tibbs my man Tibbs you better with Rick. Yeah, I'm rolling with Tibbs. Tibbs is my man.

Tibbs, you better than Rick. Hey, you know what the problem is? Tibbs be running these niggas like they tip agencies. Don't worry, don't take them out. Don't take them out. They want to play 32. They want max deals. Jalen Brunson and Halliburton

are going to cancel themselves out. No, Tyrese Halliburton is better than Jalen Brunson. He is. Debatable. I watch USA Basketball. Tyrese Halliburton is better than Jalen Brunson in an NBA game it's very debatable bro

it is that's what I'm saying I'm saying they can cancel I ain't talking about who better just they can cancel each other I don't know who guarding JR

and OG OG is wait are you saying JR is in Julius Randle if you don't get the fuck Mr. UK if you don't get the fuck out of here

Mr. Double Double Pascal Siakam is better Than Julius Randle High school to college That's a good matchup I'd like to see No it's facts too It's not

Who got a ring Who killed Who's an all-star perennial Julius Randle Be an all-star Yeah Jesus What is he like

Was he an all-star What Two years ago I mean who got more all-stars Dr. Umar don't fuck with him But we do Dr. Umar definitely Does not fuck him but we do Dr. Umar definitely does not fuck with dudes

at random that Knicks picture they got with all of them together he would be mad that Knicks is not fucking with Dr. Umar at all

and he's not fucking with the Knicks who's the only one who had a black woman was Isaiah Hartside no his wife is white oh wait it was somebody

that picture had a black wife it was only one though Josh Hart got a black wife there we go my bad my bad everybody else is Dr. Umar does not approve they've been living in the New York model scene they straight It was somebody that picked you who had a black wife. It was only one of them. Josh Hart got a black wife. There we go. My bad, my bad. Everybody else is. Dr. Umar does not approve.

They've been living in the New York model scene. They straight. Black queens forever. You don't know the rest. Wrap it up, man. All right. Before we get out of here, I think the Pacers make another move.

I don't think it's a major move, but they got hella expiring contracts. They didn't get rid of Buddy, huh? And that's where he got to go. Why are you doing Buddy like that cause I've seen Buddy shoot threes and not make them

the percentages align but I think you see how they do when Buddy was hitting them we gotta extend Buddy pause now that Buddy not making his threes

we gotta get rid of him this is what Pacer fans do they wanna get rid of me I was averaging 15 to 7 I didn't even get the ball like that I had to pass to a guy Blame PG Blame Nate and blame PG

We wanted to keep you I actually love both of them Shout out to Nate P, just come on the show End of practice P, just come on the show Please Just come on the show

You gotta go on his first I'll go on your show, man Just come on the show Yeah, I'd love to see what's gonna happen But I'm happy You know what I'm saying We got another all-star We didn't have to pay too much for it.

That's always love. Yeah. Damn, y'all just missed that. Y'all stole him, bro. Y'all just missed the sophomore from Pike High School going to be the first-round pick because y'all wanted to keep Pascal. We didn't get the middle school,

and it's going to be number one in the nation. That's the type of nigga they'll draft. But you know what's going to be mad, though, if Pascal leaves? If he leaves, that that's gonna be bad cause I would hate him cause I feel like

Golden State can make a run at him they can we talked about this last spot you don't think there's some type of understanding

that he get a max deal cause I mean we got his burn rights but he can't get the super max because yeah but at this point

I feel like he don't care he already had a max deal right yeah at this point, I feel like he don't care. He already had a max deal, right? Yeah. At this point, he going to go where he feel love. And Miami is going to be love. Go and stay with Steph.

They in rebuild mode, but Steph can lure people there. Hell yeah. The moment he puts on that neon sign, it's up. Yeah. Look, man. Tyrese is going to have to do some recruiting. I mean, playing with Tyrese Halliburton

is going to be amazing for him. He run the floor. Yeah. They going to be dynamic together. So, it's going to be a good, it's going to be a good,

I don't want to say fit because I say pause, but it's going to be a good situation. Good chemistry. Yeah. I'd love to see what we're going to do.

We got a lot of expiring contracts. I mean, I don't see the point of making another big move unless he's going to get somebody that, I don't know,

who's disgruntled. I know that the Brooklyn Nets have 85 role players that could go and help another team, but I hope the Nets trade Ben Simmons to the Atlanta Hawks.

Hell nah. Wow, you want a full circle moment? Because the last time he'd been good was when Trae Young pushed him out under the paint. No, you know what?

If he go, this is just a sidebar and we can cut the snippet, but if he go to the Atlanta Hawks, Quinn Snyder will use him so perfectly. He's one of the most brilliant minds in basketball I've ever been around. He going to use him perfect.

I believe it. And Atlanta is a market where they just want to have fun. It ain't no pressure. They want to come to the games, Boosie, DC and Fly on the dance. They going to yell. You ain't got to wake up and motherfucker be like, the fuck is Ben Simmons doing?

You just going to wake up, motherfucker going to be like, oh, we got Ben Simmons. They ain't even know y'all lost. They just having a good time at the game. Yeah. But New York media, you always in the media. Like, Ben Simmons ain't even know y'all lost. They just having a good time at the game. So, but New York media, you always in the media. Like, Ben Simmons ain't playing the game.

What are we going to have him for? Go to Atlanta, he going to be smooth. There ain't going to be no pressure. He ain't starting to like black women. That's a good spot. My favorite thing about him is he be fresh as hell on the bench. But like Ben Simmons,

he be like, chill out, I'm going to put this workout tape of me shooting jump shots in. I'll be back in a couple weeks. Yeah, but I swear if he go to Atlanta and he chill, like he get a moment just to chill. And that media down there ain't too hard on you. And then all the reporters down there, they hella cool. They ain't going, they ain't trying to ruffle your feathers.

They might say, oh, he's struggling a little bit. But they ain't going to be like no New York media. They on your ass. Yeah, they going to be chill. He need a spot like that. He went from Philly, who's a sports town. They hate. New York with the most... The hate.

Man, the toughest media in the world, the outlet right there. You got ESPN, all that shit, right there on your ass. He need to go to the South with Atlanta, where he can get his confidence back, chill, be with Trey Young and them boys

and be chilling, go out a little bit yeah Magic City get a couple back rubs couple throw a couple ones he gonna be back

in his groove that back pause his back won't hurt no more he go to Magic I'm telling you that legs might be gone

but the back won't hurt I'm telling you that he gonna he gonna go from having back issues to knee issues quads quads might be out but won't hurt. I'm telling you that. He gonna go from having back issues to knee issues. This is a short one. Quad.

Quads might be out, but... It's big from experience. That's funny. Ain't been right since. They got a TV picture up there with Mr. Morgan that's written on top of it.

Excuse me? It's TV and Lou Will. It's that Jack in the corner. Nah, I'm playing. Jack Harlow? Nah, he ain't making it in there.

He went to Pink Pony. Shout out to the Pacers. We back. I know a lot of cops. They get asked all the time. Have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
