Club 520 Podcast - Club 520 - Jeff Teague on Jimmy Butler-Warriors rumors, Giannis’ Bucks legacy, Curry’s greatness

Episode Date: November 7, 2024

We’re back with Season 3, Episode 5 of Club 520, where Jeff Teague and the guys discuss the hot start from Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and how they could look to bring in one big piec...e to help get another NBA title. Jimmy Butler is in the last year of his deal with the Miami Heat, and could be a great fit to team up with Steph Curry and Draymond Green. The guys also discuss the rumors that Paul George was almost that guy to join Golden State, but trade talks fell through, leading PG to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. Finally, the guys debate whether Giannis Antetokounmpo is the greatest Milwaukee Buck of all time, and if LeBron James will get a statue for the Los Angeles Lakers after he retires. #Volume #ClubSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
Starting point is 00:26:03 What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.

I feel the same way about that Kobe video where he jumped over to Ashton Martin. That's how I feel about that video. Bro, he shot a gummy bear in a water bottle, bro.
Starting point is 00:27:10 The kids do crazy stuff like that all the time, bro. If he did that, he did that shit for five hours. He tried that for five hours. The time that he tried to do it, I give you that. But I think he really can do that, though, bro. It is pretty amazing, bro. I don't know. Boy, that's a Luis edit, bro.
Starting point is 00:27:26 You got to be one of the coldest. I ain't going to lie. My fault. I think I blocked him. Wait, because when you sent me that video, I couldn't see. I like you.

Starting point is 00:27:41 drop with Lethal Shooter? You blocking Lethal Shooter or not, Orlando Brown? I'm tired. You're keeping Orlando Brown on your team and blocking a good Christian like Lethal Shooter. I got tired of it.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I think somebody might have asked me when I was playing, like, you need to practice with him. Bitch. Oh, they told you to lock him in oh that's my front paper I think that's what happened I think I blocked him the person in Lethal Shooter
Starting point is 00:28:13 like at the same time we love you this way bro it ain't no hate I don't know we're making fun of you you kept a little brown at your top line. That's my cousin. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:28 His explore page is wild. The stuff he sent to me is crazy. That's my cousin. I know, but I'm saying it's like Orlando Brown. Then, you know, it's the Big Booty Thunder. He's lying. He's lying. You know, when you go on Instagram, you do the home and then that little, you know, next
Starting point is 00:28:48 No, I don't even know how to work Instagram. I tell y'all this all the time. He's lying. I'm stuck at technology by phone, Instagram. Booty of the week. He's lying. That's algorithms. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:28:58 We get one Gary's little slam. Now he's trying to get me. Oh, man. The only thing I ever said to you was passport, bro. You was like, we need to go to Columbia. you was passport, bro. You was like, we need to go to Columbia. My wife's Spanish. Y'all need to go there. We had some interviews out there.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Let's say he really a DR type nigga. What's the area in New York? Move on, man. Move on. Where are you? Move on. what's the area in New York move on man move on where are you move on Brooklyn nah
Starting point is 00:29:30 I ain't it's always the motherfucking Bronx right here Bronx Bronx shout out to
Starting point is 00:29:36 Dykeman Summer League baby oh man he's childish as fuck wow look at
Starting point is 00:29:41 man P I'm joking we joking Shanice we joking all entertainment please please cause P would Wow. What got me? P, I'm joking. We joking. Shanice, we joking. Yeah, please. All entertainment, please. Please. Because P would really be like,

Starting point is 00:29:58 We really have to go to New York. We have to go to New York to work. Child to 60's, to back to your fat, Memphis bleak. Yes. And just give me more niggas. More niggas.
Starting point is 00:30:07 JC. Carl Anthony Towns. His name dad. Yeah. We go to work with those guys. Oh my God, man. Something's wrong with y'all. Let's get off that.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Basketball. Did y'all see that PG almost went to the Warriors this summer? No, I didn't see that. They almost made that deal happen. They wanted more first-round picks to do it, but it was basically around Kaminga, Pazinski, stuff like that. And the reason why it didn't happen was because of the picks.
Starting point is 00:30:35 And then we'll see Paul George being pretty much like the third option in Philly. Do we think it's about that time we kind of look at Paul George differently, or do we got to kind of wait it out? I mean, yo, what did Paul George for, 33, 34? Yeah, he on his last, he obviously on his last deal, max deal,
Starting point is 00:30:51 but like, he, yo. No, I say that as because the Warriors obviously got success early in the season. They're probably looking
Starting point is 00:30:59 to make that next big piece because you're going to probably want to put somebody next to Steph to end that war. It's not him. It's not him. I mean, not him,
Starting point is 00:31:06 but who do you think is somebody that could potentially do that or do they have to move on from Steph because I feel like they got to get a name in there in the next year
Starting point is 00:31:12 by the least. You can't move on from Steph. Never. You got to keep him. Steph has to retire a warrior. I'm rolling. He changed the owners all the,
Starting point is 00:31:21 I ain't going to say changed their life, but that franchise, he changed that whole, that was a losing franchise all the time they never would win it until Steph got there who do we want
Starting point is 00:31:32 to play with Steph I mean the consistency people say Giannis of course that's the easy way I could see Jimmy Butler going to help I don't know if that
Starting point is 00:31:41 pushed him over I could see Jimmy B going there I mean his time in Miami probably up Miami not that good this year. They got the worst
Starting point is 00:31:46 third quarter team in the league. Probably Jimmy. Giannis. That's a hell of a loss. That's a stretch because Giannis
Starting point is 00:31:55 going to go down as a book. I think he's going to retire a book. You think so? Yeah, why not? Like, you won a championship.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Yeah, you want to play for championships every year, but it's unlikely. Let's be realistic. To win a championship, you got to have everything go right. The championship that he won, even though I was a part of it,
Starting point is 00:32:17 everything played in our favor. People got hurt. Everything went right for us to win that. We was healthy. Other teams weren't. Everything got to go us to win that. Like, we was healthy. Other teams weren't. Everything got to go right to win a championship. So, be the best player ever in that franchise. Set all the records.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Get your jersey retired. Do all that. Be a long life. Buck. Why not? Jimmy B and Perali not getting along. So, I think he. I mean, Jimmy won't get paid.
Starting point is 00:32:43 But Jimmy been to two or three teams. You know what I mean? So I love Jimmy to death, but he ain't no staple in Miami. Yeah, that's true. He way a staple in Miami. No, that's true. So he can move around
Starting point is 00:32:55 and ain't going to really shake nothing. And that's crazy because with the accomplishments that Jimmy has had in Miami, if he's in other franchises, we might possibly be talking about a statue or other things like that, the teams that haven't been there because he got the team to a problem so they didn't win. But a in other franchises, we might possibly be talking about a statue or other things like that. The teams that haven't been there
Starting point is 00:33:05 because he got the team to a promise and they didn't win. But a lot of franchises in those situations, they would honor somebody crazy like that. But he's in Miami
Starting point is 00:33:12 where they won championships and they don't care. Yeah, I mean, he only did it for a couple of years. I mean, what, he been there four or five years? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Yeah, he been there since COVID. No, four years. Yeah, you got to win a championship in Miami when Bron come there. Well, Bron got to get a statue, too. Because I don't show you the D-Wade. D-Wade deserve a statue, but Bron deserve one, too. The Bron gets a statue in the team you play for.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, like, Bron made Miami heat the heaters. Like, D-Wade, he's the guy for the heat, for sure. I get it and not to cut you off but I seen him on
Starting point is 00:33:49 the OG's podcast he talked about he was possibly leaving that team so for the strip off that alone LeBron kept D Wade
Starting point is 00:33:55 in Miami but sorry I didn't mean to cut you off no that's a fact so he gotta get a statue LeBron really needed a statue for the league like some teams
Starting point is 00:34:02 retire Michael Jordan jersey like Miami his jersey's retired. And they're after it. LeBron ain't dead to him. Yeah, I see him retiring. Yeah. Give him a... Retire his jersey.
Starting point is 00:34:14 But I think he deserves one in LA. Bro. I ain't gonna say he deserves one. Yeah, he got a chip, bro. He got a chip, bro. I ain't gonna say he deserves a statue. Cause do Shaq got a statue? All those people that won in LA? I believe Shaq has a statue in LA. I know Magic got one. I ain't going to say he deserves a statue. All those people that won in L.A.? I believe Shaq has a statue in L.A. I know Magic got one.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Shaq got a statue in L.A.? For sure Magic got one. I don't know where it's at, but... I believe Shaq got one. Bron can never get one. He got a ring. I mean, they won three, though. Yeah, bro, that's different, bro.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Three and five. But I'm Bron. I agree. I'm not going off accomplishments because if you're basing it, of course, it ain't going to be fair because they only got one. They got multiple.
Starting point is 00:34:52 But I'm Bron. And I got a ring here. Yeah, I think Bron got one. He need one in Cleveland and one in Miami. I ain't going to say LA. Like, he's not a... If he gets one in LA,
Starting point is 00:35:03 then great. You know what I'm saying? You know, if he get one, cool. I'm not mad at it. it but i'm saying if they don't put one i don't think that's bad if them no but jersey should be retired because does kareem got one kareem ain't got a statue do we i would hope so if kareem has a statue that's insane yeah kareem better have a hell where are i've been to the staples and we're in milwaukee or there yes kareem better have a session. Where are they? I've been to the Staples Center. In Milwaukee or there? Yes. Kareem got to see it. Yeah, they got it. I was about to say,
Starting point is 00:35:26 where they at? Does he have one in Milwaukee? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Are they in the front of the building? You know Mike King time fast. Mike... I was wondering if he had one in Milwaukee. No, I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Where you went to? So Giannis would be the greatest Milwaukee bug of all time. Oh, for sure. He won a championship. You know, Austin Robinson and Kareem
Starting point is 00:35:43 did their thing. Giannis gonna set all the break all the records he been there the longest he didn't if he stayed there he didn't leave
Starting point is 00:35:51 yeah he the greatest Milwaukee book already anyway and I only ask that question because obviously the media they're playing
Starting point is 00:35:57 into the narrative you know the Bucks are struggling still right now Chris Middleton but they're like alright if he keep pushing coaches
Starting point is 00:36:02 out of here and Chris Middleton don't get back because it's just reported that he's gonna have a little bit he ain't back playing 5-1-5 yet if they're like, all right, if he keep pushing coaches out of here and Chris Middleton don't get back because it's just reported that he's going to have a little bit. He ain't back playing 5-1-5 yet. If they're not good in the next couple of weeks, you got Dame already frustrated
Starting point is 00:36:12 who's still killing. Giannis is already vocally saying like, hey, if this shit don't get right, I'm out. Is the pressure on? Like, is he going to really like, what else can he do besides get somebody in the organization for it? Because he already got a coach. Who else is he going to push for to get?
Starting point is 00:36:23 Just play, bro. I was trying to get people fired. Yeah, like, bro, just hoop. Yeah, like I said, at this point, it's like, all right, bro, if you got a coach. Who else he going to push for to get? Just play, bro. I was just trying to get people fired. Just hoop. Like, bro, just hoop. Yeah, like I said, at this point, it's like, all right, bro,
Starting point is 00:36:28 if you're going to bounce, you're going to bounce. But that ain't even been his style. That never was his style. Like, he always just hooped. He just hooped. Yeah. Like, to start pulling strings
Starting point is 00:36:37 and stuff, always be who you are, bro. You're not even one of them type of people to be like, hey, get this dude out of here. I don't like him. If you want to win, you want to win.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Just tell him, hey, we ain't got of here. I don't like him. If you want to win, you want to win. Just tell him, hey, we ain't got enough firepower to win. Let's trade somebody. Let's trade for some more guys. It ain't like you ain't got an all-star top 75 point guard. You got that. You top 75. All right, tell him, look, it ain't working.
Starting point is 00:37:01 You might have to ship out Bobby Portis, Brooke, or whoever. We need something else. It ain't, look, it ain't working. You might have to ship out Bobby Porter's, Brooke, or whoever. We need something else. It ain't... Trying to leave to go play with somebody else. The grass ain't always green. Then you kind of dumb yourself down a little bit. Like, you're going to go to Golden State to play with
Starting point is 00:37:15 Steph. It's going to be great and all, but that's Steph shit. That's definitely not your words. You already built something in a small market. Come on, bro. You the man. You're going to be loved forever. You leave, you're going to break their heart. Like Bron did.
Starting point is 00:37:29 But Bron different. Bron had a different life. Bron in the movies, I'll tell you. Yeah, it was different. That's different. And also, he went back and made it right too.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah. So that's really different. Well, honestly, he ain't coming back. Most definitely. I mean, he already made it right. He wanted one for him, so it's all right.
Starting point is 00:37:45 That's all you can ask for in those situations. Milwaukee has no statues. Oh, they're going to change that. If you're honest with me. They will have one. Him and T.A. are going to have a statue. The statue is going to be filthy. Whose statue is going to be better, T.A. or Dwayne Wade's?
Starting point is 00:37:57 Probably T.A.'s. Probably better artists than Milwaukee. All them niggas in jail, they draw real good out there. The work release program is not making tenacity session. Childhood always behind the walls, though. Keep your head up. You crazy. Childhood speaking to, talking about niggas behind the wall.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Childhood, my nigga Meech, man, he came out, got some new teeth. He got a new shorty, too. What do you get? Who is it doing? Well, Pinktoe. It seems like he got... She looking real nice, man.
Starting point is 00:38:30 She's right. Dr. Omar's like this. She's nice. Dr. Omar is pissed. But, you know, me's home. He ain't all the way home. But it look like he in good spirits, though. For sure.
Starting point is 00:38:41 What was dope for us is we was in the A. You know what I'm saying? When Jeffrey got free, that was crazy. Oh we know i'm saying when jeffrey got free that was crazy oh yeah that was crazy i was already free but he's talking about he just looked like he'd been locked up now who had the biggest biggest comeback party because you to make up for lost time.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Meech been down for what, 27 years or something? Yeah. Because I'm just thinking about Thug like concert. The Thug concert, the first concert back is going to be-
Starting point is 00:39:14 It won't be in Atlanta though. It won't be in Atlanta. No, it'll be in Metro Atlanta. No, it will not. Oh, he can't go. It can be in North Dakota. What's the little city that everybody live in

Starting point is 00:39:50 give Meech a weekend gotta give Thug a weekend too Thug can go do it in LA or Miami yeah Miami for sure yeah bro I'm just thinking like he really like Thug got the Boosie the Goosies he bigger than them when they got out nah he not got the Boosie, the Gooshies. He bigger than them when they got out.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Nah. He not bigger than Boosie when Boosie got out. Young Thug? Nah. Hey, Boosie beat Death Row. Boosie was on Death Row. He beat Death Row and Cancer at the same time. When Boosie got out... Bro, is Thug
Starting point is 00:40:21 getting out of beating this, bro? Are y'all crazy? I think what it means for Atlanta is a really good figure. Thug is a way bigger artist, first of all, than Boosie. I'm not saying that. I'm saying, but when Boosie came home, it was different, bro. Boys was really hype, bro. No, they was. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:40:35 For sure. I'm glad Thug came home, but. I'm telling you, that effect, though. Thug is more influential than Boosie. Fashion and music bro yeah but Boosie was big for us Boosie's on that
Starting point is 00:40:53 bro it just hit different well yeah the charges is different but I feel like the way they was talking at first about Thug is the same effect bro
Starting point is 00:41:00 like he Thug is stadium worthy right now oh yeah facts Boosie wasn't stadium worthy Boosie wasn't stadium-worthy. Boosie wasn't stadium-worthy. It was a little bit later in his career when that happened. Yeah, of course. Yeah, Boosie wasn't stadium-worthy when he... Yeah, bro.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Before he left. He was streets, but I'm just saying his effect when he... I think it hit everybody different because we just knew he was gone. Yeah. I was like, Thug, we all like, man, Thug can beat that. We didn't think Boosie was beating that. I like Thug We all like Man Thug can beat that We ain't think Boosie was beating that Like I thought
Starting point is 00:41:27 Thug was like I thought Boosie was gonna die Like When they say He on death row They put them charges On my boy

Starting point is 00:43:10 Yeah, I don't know too much about what's going on there, but like you said, when you got somebody snitching on a wire for two years, man, that's dangerous, bro.
Starting point is 00:43:18 That's dangerous. Good luck to Dirk, though. For sure, man. All right, man. NBA is going crazy so far. Who's been, y'all, you know what I'm saying, surprised people getting to it? Some people caught y'all off guard so far. I know we talk highly on the Cavaliers, but...
Starting point is 00:43:31 Yeah, yeah. That's my team. Y'all know me, how I feel about the Cavs. That's my squad. I was a Boston fan. I was a Hawk fan. I was rocking with Milwaukee. Now I'm a Cavs fan.
Starting point is 00:43:46 I'm a Cavalier, man. Bro, you got to stop, bro. It's one thing for people like us who didn't play a professional sport, but you acting like Wallo and you really was in the trenches is crazy, bro. I'm just saying, man. You can't keep switching teams, bro. I like good basketball. You got to pick a side, bro.
Starting point is 00:44:02 I like to watch good basketball. They play good basketball. The Celtics are the best AU team in to pick a side, bro. I like to watch good basketball. They play good basketball. The Celtics are the best AAU team in the world right now, bro. But if I could play for any team, like if I could go back in the league, I would go play for the Cavaliers. If I could take anybody's spot to play, I'd take Darius Garland's spot to play. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
