Starting point is 00:06:43 She's just one of the distance. Yeah. Oh, okay. Spoiler alert for y'all who excited about seeing Twitter 5. That's who cares about that. Respect. Yeah. Now, that's absolutely hilarious.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I ain't mad at it, though. Shout to him. I was about five and I messed up a little, bro. I don't know if you watch a Toy Story. He didn't watch it. He'll watch it 10 times. He'll be right. They did say, my monster truck.
Starting point is 00:07:07 That's shout to a little, bro. I've been watching TV heavy this week. Raising Caney was actually fired this week. Boy Alert. Unique is one of my favorite characters in that entire series, and he did something in every drug dealer show that never happens is that nigga walked away from the game. Like, he saw everything going crazy and got his family and got the fuck out.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Most times, niggins always try to make that last play or do that last second thing and that's what they get caught up. That nigga got away and I fuck with that because you rarely see people in that light ever get to walk away from the game. Only him and Jay Z? Yeah. Jay Z is a legend on and off the court. A lot of different things for sure.
Starting point is 00:07:43 But I ain't watched it yet, man. I mean, I have that man. I got to go check it. That's my favorite one out of the whole. power series of raising king of the spin-off or just yeah the spin-offs I mean the first power obviously which one is caneer uh 50 cent
Starting point is 00:07:58 yeah oh for sure it might be the best one though out of everything though it's like surrealist one he's selfish for that I mean to be fair bro what happened to Tommy what happened to them it's not much acting uh the Tommy show it was crazy to the last it was out of pocket yeah they just had to delete them you can tell they just had the budget
Starting point is 00:08:15 but the last series of it wasn't bad what was the other little kid that everybody hated Remember my two? They tried a whoop he made the looter shit. Yeah, it's, it spinoff was kind of, it was fired, but it just wasn't realistic. But it was fired. It was fired. It wasn't realistic. Bro, he was on campus and niggas would just die.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Yeah, like, they on campus, niggas is dying in the campus pool. During the game. Nobody going to jail. They just shooting them. Bro, niggas. You got out. You got out. He was the biggest drug, no-knit was walking everywhere.
Starting point is 00:08:44 When I made him again, I told him again, I said, bro, I didn't see a lot of actors, bro. They try to whip his ass at that little game I've never seen nobody get triggered like that I'm like you gotta be a superstar for real He's good at what he do Yeah, because early in power bro niggas hated to read bro
Starting point is 00:08:59 He let his sister get smoked But no he watched his sister get smoke And then walked away Oh shit But nah the spin-offs is fire though I'm not ever mad at 50 cents stuff He got a boxing show that's coming out end of the month I'm gonna give it a spin man
Starting point is 00:09:10 I ain't mad at it Black directors Why not bro I rock with this show though Raising Canyon fire though It really don't It feels like a real story Like, whoever life it was, it feel like that was a real life story.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I don't know who life it was. Yeah, FightLand is coming on 31st. I'm going to give it to spend, bro. I'm never mad at 50s original shows. I'm happy that they took BMF off the air. Not that I'm ever hate on people getting money. But that last season of BMF was so insane, bro. Big Meech was in Mexico doing call of duty shit, bro.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I said, cut the show on. I didn't watch. Ever since I've seen Neo in there, I was like, yeah, I'm cool. Yeah, Neo-Bet. No disrespecting Neo. I mean, to me, that was one. the guy. Neil was like the person
Starting point is 00:09:49 running a strip club and in hindsight it kind of made sense. It's fair. Yeah, it's very funny. But two times had like a pro over his dread. Oh,
Starting point is 00:09:59 I was like, and you know, we fuck with two. I just come by. They start using 25 lingo and like Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Was any? iPhones and shit. You're like, you call a nigga's twin. Bro, nobody. Yeah. My twin is crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I'm saying was any part of that a reflection of his. life, though. Even in the beginning, was the beginning of the least? When it first started. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The first season of BMF, even the second one is fired. That first one for sure is elite. After that, you know, they start
Starting point is 00:10:27 having the public stuff, so then they just start wild with. Okay. So, I mean, he had a great run, but I'm saying. Them have an eye phone and twin is crazy. I think it would have been better as a movie, though. Probably. Yeah, like, just a hour. Gave NWA, the same budget they gave
Starting point is 00:10:43 NWA, they would have gave it for them. They made a movie. I guess that's one of Behan's last movie he's seen in the theater was NW. I don't even know what. I think the last movie I was out of that was whatever, Martin. Bad boys? Bad boys who had Martin almost fell out.

Comedy Joe is left. Just because niggas used to get on niggas in the crowd, like. Boy, that old deaf comedy jam, that nigger, Mourner, you was a fool, man.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I think Deaf Comedy Jam just would have led, because we've seen a lot of ledgers right there on a bubble of becoming, like, the greatness that they were, even Martin at the time, but still there, but we've seen so many people get there immediate, like, plug and play out there stuff.

Starting point is 00:49:32 I'm telling you we didn't have friends. So, mom and dad, oh, $3 million. After taxes, cash. What y'all need, mom and dad. I get a mom of dad, $3 million. That's my flex right there. Give me a $3 million. I was basically $6 million.

Starting point is 00:50:16 Right. still traumatized. I got $50 million now, don't I? You know what I'm saying? So I caught me in a nice penthouse. I get me a pin house and two whips. We have a Braredrovers sport and a Bentley G.C. Off the rent.
Starting point is 00:50:30 You know what I'm saying? So now, bro, looking at 12, 12, 6, that's really 7. That's not that my folks and everything. What is you got in a million dollars? A million dollars? You know what I'm saying? After, like, the 12,000. and a half. So that's 12 and a half.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Out of the $26 million is guaranteed. So now I've got another $14 million that's coming in. That's really seven. You know what I'm saying? So, like, you got one time after 12 a minute. So you think you got that 50. If he had $50 million. Where the math goes like that, you know.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Only $26 was guaranteed. Yeah. But if you're still out, he's going to play it, so he would have got more money. Yeah, he played it. Yeah. So he's just saying $26 million of his was guaranteed. Yeah. Yeah, football contract is trash, so
Starting point is 00:51:18 he really only made 14 million. Yeah. Then he gave up 7 million. I only had 7 more million guaranteed. I love my parents of death. I think he played his contract. I think he got the whole 50, though.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Oh, yeah, Joe was cool, but he was just only 26 is guarantee, you know, in NFL. He was coming in a month. He did with the beginning of the bread. I love my parents, I don't got three M's up front for y'all. Nah, but he ain't have to do that, though. I mean, I don't fucking do your life. I'm just saying you could.
Starting point is 00:51:46 to spread of debt across the whole five years. You could have. That's tough, though. That's a big responsibility. That's a big, that's a big gift. $4 million, that's essentially what you gave your parents. Yeah. That's a big gift.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I got your crib, and I got your time. We're going to start off the life. Just pay my parents monthly. Yeah, it's all you ever do. Give them 10K. Yeah. Your parents, they come from nothing. 10K to them, a month going to feel amazing.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah, I don't know. What about? Amazing. My daddy, I get my dad three minutes. He's going to get a whole new ho. The gay. See, family. My daddy is.
Starting point is 00:52:27 This is senior poppy. With three, with three years. Yeah. Three years. Yeah. A new little brother. Yeah, bro. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:36 But if you, I mean, if you give somebody three million dollars and they ain't ever had money. Yeah. That three million dollars is going to be gone. Not to say, like, his mind. and dad don't know how to work bills and have money. Yeah, we. He's probably in general. I'm just saying that most people don't know what to do with $3 million.
Starting point is 00:52:54 That's a fact, bro. Like, shit. I got $3 million. I ain't know what to do with it for a real for real. Yeah, I'm putting my parents on a monthly. I have whatever I'm comfortable with. And I think motherfuckers is cool because whatever I'm giving you, he was already living.
Starting point is 00:53:06 It's extra. Yeah. Anyway, so shit. He would have gave his mom and dad $15,000 a month. Yeah. It'd have been cool. And like I said, Joe ain't wrong. Shit.
Starting point is 00:53:15 That's what he felt comfortable doing. I'm just saying me personally. Nah. You work hard and take care of his fun. I ain't mad at it, but yeah, we got. You get a million-dollar house. That's what you got. Yeah, Joe get to it.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Three millions. I think he was saying that to give me his game too, though. Yeah. I think, you know what I'm saying? Because that's what he'd be on. No. The only person thing is crazy to get your parents in allowance. Like, if I got it, got it, I'm going to take care of you.
Starting point is 00:53:38 But I don't think I'm giving him an allowance. I didn't have an allowance for him. Why did you need an allowance? You said, Mike, you rarely had a TV. We know. That's what I'm going to take. Mike Lynn's selling this stuff. That's your people, man.
Starting point is 00:53:52 You're going to have to take care of your people. That's how it's supposed to go. Yeah. I'm going to take. I mean, in the black community, it ain't supposed to go like that. They post it. Parents post a lead you something.
Starting point is 00:54:02 They're supposed to. Yeah, that's the whole pass down. Generation of wealth. Most people in other communities, they pass stuff down. Mm-hmm. Where are you not supposed to work as hard? In our community, the kids usually take care.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Especially if you get to the chicka first. Yeah. So. So you're not wrong. I identify as another. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah, you, I mean, you identify still as Mike, but. He identifies.
Starting point is 00:54:31 We're not in a summer. Would you identify? Respect. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. No.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Boy, let me. You identify as Mike. I'm just saying, if you, if you are, All right. Let's get you Joe Contrage. And thank you to Joe for this conversation. So what are you doing? Love it show. What are you doing to your parents with this money?
Starting point is 00:54:55 I'm definitely buying them a crib and make sure it's paid off. And I'm going to give them enough money to make sure all the bills are paid. So we live in that. What kind of crib are they getting? Oh, yeah. They can have a million-dollar house in any. Okay. They have a million-dollar house.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Okay. You're giving, what, $200,000 for the bills? For the bills? That's weird. That's a lot. You said you're going to make sure the bills are. taking here? $1,000 for bills.
Starting point is 00:55:18 I'm saying so like... Once in a month. No, I'm saying like for a 10-year period. Like, are you just going to pay on monthly? No, no, I'll just pay the bills. I'll pay the bills monthly. Oh, okay. I just found bills for you.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Like, y'all want to go eating shit? Like, y'all still should work. I feel like y'all took you go to work. I'm not retiring y'all to the point where y'all ain't got to do shit which I like because my parents... No. I'll tell you a secret of my mama told me. Just put life insurance on me.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Everything you gave me, you get it. you'll get it back when I die. It was a fucked up thing in here, but it's the truth. It's the real shit, though. That's real. Mama no, you love 100%. And I had to say like this, but, I mean, especially with how we position the black community,
Starting point is 00:55:59 that is the only way we can really, especially if you can pass that threshold, that's the way we can only get for the future, bro. Life insurance is very important. My parents are blessed. I ain't. But if you, it's more of what it's real. You know the life insurance policy
Starting point is 00:56:13 and your parents can. Mm-hmm. get paid out of it and stuff like Yeah. That's not. Yeah, I mean. That's what most people will be doing. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:56:25 You really ain't got pay your parents. You can hit the insurance policy. You got paid the policy. Which might be, it's depending on how much money you're trying to get from your parents. Yeah, that motherfucker long enough. There's some chicken in there that you can get out of there. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot of play.
Starting point is 00:56:38 You might spend $200,000 a year on your mom and daddy life insurance, but you'll get it back. Just say, DJ, we are not financial advisor. We're not at all. 1,000% not. Y'all see what we spend our money on. Please don't listen to us. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Nothing I'm talking about, but. We do. Have insurance if you can afford it. It's very important. You need that, though. It's mandatory. I'm just saying you just got the cold contract like, I'm probably just getting my parents money every month.
Starting point is 00:57:03 I can't get you four ems. I can't. Nah, I can't get you four. I don't think my mom and daddy would have allowed me to do that. Yeah. But it was funny. That conversation, obviously,
Starting point is 00:57:11 when we were viral and then O'Dell Beckman was talking about how like 100 M's on a lot. It was just funny. It was just like, you would never convince us people who work regular jobs that that is not enough money to live off on. That is just your spending habits and your life choices. I think that meaning to say it's not as much as you think. Yeah, it's not as much as you think.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Taxes are undefeated. Yeah. Like when I seen Kobe contract, he was making $30 million. He had signed a three-year 90 million at one point, which was crazy at the NBA at that time. It was like unheard of and he took home $11 million. I was like, wow. Because of that California.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Yeah, all the stuff, all the taxes and everything. He took home $11 million. I was like, damn. And it's crazy because Kobe, I mean, Nike money was cool. But what he made from the sports drink was like, yeah, from body armor was like life changer. What would it say? It was like a, he had signed a three-year 90 million at one time.
Starting point is 00:58:05 I don't even think it was disclosed. But I remember after the year he came home, it was like $11 million out there, making $30 a year. I was like, damn, bro. This isn't. Sir, I'm like, what? Take 19 M's away from me. Oh, y'all ain't not shooting on a near jump shot this bitch, bro.
Starting point is 00:58:27 You better stop asking people for this chicken, boy. It ain't there. I see why n'nics be in that, too, bro. I lose it, bro. But people just genuinely don't know. Yeah, whatever that contract right there, when he had signed it, he had took home 11 million. We all were just, like, man, said it.
Starting point is 00:58:43 I was like, damn. Yeah. But I'm supposed to, like. I got a place somewhere, bro, where no state income. Yeah, it's different for different states. Yeah, I remember.
Starting point is 00:58:53 So Westbrook at one point when he got traded to the Rockets from OKC, he had made like an extra $3 million or something crazy. I was like, damn. Yeah. So it's definitely. So Dergnoissee money went a little longer than. Well, when them girls Googling you, though, bro, that's all they see is.
Starting point is 00:59:09 A 30 pop up. Yeah, he's going to see that and see the news. He's third. When they pop up. See, it's dirty. I think it definitely makes dirty. But what she asked why you got the same yada as a bra, you're like, you know, in my state.
Starting point is 00:59:22 We got the little boat. That's Nike money, buddy. That is wicked. That's probably what I would do, though. Probably just live off the endorsement money or whatever else. If you're fortunate enough to do that, we'll do. Because to be able to come home when you retire to all your NBA checks, bro, that's, that's fire.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Yeah, like Marshall Lynch was talking about that. He was a lot of my endorsement. He said, I have to be a lot of questions. I'm just jacking my chicken so I'm going to be playing all that time But like you said It's fortunate if you can Because not everybody had them opportunities
Starting point is 00:59:52 No everybody don't get those Yeah I remember you told me something But Marshawn was the first player That I heard That actually lived by that shit And told me that shit I'm like damn Yeah
Starting point is 01:00:01 And it just be sad When you see a lot of people Who go through You know what I'm saying Hell of careers And they money ain't right It's like you don't even know how If you could go
Starting point is 01:00:08 Especially you got financial advisors You got people who It's fucking steel Yeah It's fucking steel It's right the main thing in that shit It don't be It'd be d d'all
Starting point is 01:00:15 divorce, child support, and people stealing. It don't even really be the people just blowing money. It don't be that. It'd be like somebody stole something from them or somebody lied to them when they had a bad business deal. They got a divorce. Yeah. Crazy child support payment.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Like, niggas just don't blow money. It might spend a lot. But, you know, if you got $500 in your pocket, nigger might spend $300. But that, too, you need, all right, man. I'm going to keep the two. Yeah. Keep the two.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Ah, well, something, some niggas, bro. A lot of niggas is going to keep the two. They might spend the three, which is out of pocket. You probably should spend two and keep the three, but niggas will spend three and keep the two. So they have something left over. But when you get child support and alimony and divorce and all that, I seem to take down too many people.
Starting point is 01:01:07 They're like, Faisal Love was in jail. He is up old a quarter in child support. And he did, like, bro, I don't make no money to be covering this, bro. Face all up. I'm saying, man. He had the joint. Yeah, he was. He's out now,
Starting point is 01:01:20 but he was in jail for 16 days, bro. He owed up to a quarter of a child support. Give me that 16 in the hard bean. Lucrez. You still have to pay. I'll keep going back. What they do?
Starting point is 01:01:33 What was they doing? The NBA 10 days. Give me them 10 days. You cannot be on the 10th for take me again. Nigger if I'm 250,000 and I ain't got it. 10-day man. You know, a nigga, oh, $250?
Starting point is 01:01:47 Bro, that's... I don't know that situation, prayers everybody involved with you. Shit, it's right there. Fuck, bro. Too shats you do. Yeah, but don't go out of my check, though. Don't guard this my check, bro.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Well, he'd better go to tell a joke, boy. Yeah, he said... I wonder why Faison be crashing out. Vlad, where you at? Dead, nigga. $250,000. I need you. That'd be a lot of people, man.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Child support. Yeah, yeah. That's the worst, man. Think about that, bro, you, like, let's say his, what's a bro name, Joe Hayden? Yeah. Let's say he got that $12 million. Or he got the whole 50. Let's say he got home 26 of that 50 or whatever it was.
Starting point is 01:02:30 And he got a divorce. Shorty got 13. And you bought some shit already. You're done. You got your parents on them already? Mm-hmm. They took half the money. So that's $7 million.
Starting point is 01:02:43 You're going to go to that bank account. You got that $1.000. seven million say you gotta give her three and a half you don't have no kids you gotta give her nine Lord knows on my mind I'm little take hey I don't think you want no action I ain't gonna lie to you

Starting point is 01:03:44 I ain't risk it. And he found. She is his lady with now. solid to the core It worked out I know but I just feel like I don't know why girls When they fuck with y'all at that level
Starting point is 01:03:53 I don't know why that's just not an automatic Well uh bring up Yeah just signing it Just sign them up Well we know why In some cases It's a lot of time to be friends and family But I'm saying just ask that girl

Starting point is 01:11:01 A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull. It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that? Nobody likes that. As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, listen to American Football as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, There's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway.
Starting point is 01:11:54 If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. we contain essence, we contain spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.
Starting point is 01:12:23 You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Michael Rappaport, and my podcast, the I Am Rapaport Stereo Podcast, is unlike anyone you've ever heard. We're a variety show, and if you're looking for strong opinions,
Starting point is 01:12:43 funny opinions about sports, entertainment, politics, pop culture, and whatever else catches my attention, then subscribe now. This kid, Jafar Jackson, is as good as Rami Malik as Freddie Mercury, and it's as good as Timothy Shamaulay as Bob Dylan. And I say that with love and respect for both of those actors. And I don't know how many Oscar nominations they give out, I don't know if it's five, six for best actor. 150% this kid Jafar Jackson should absolutely positively get nominated for his portrayal as Michael Jackson.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Listen to I Am Rap Report on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I am Rapaport podcast. All right, man, draft season is almost here. Did you see, they took your Daris A-Cuff conversation completely out of context last week. I've been seeing it. Did you see it on Twitter? Oh, I didn't say it. They just completely out of context
Starting point is 01:13:44 as if you had reports that Darius A Cuff was like a slouch or like he had bad work that. And I had to go like have conversation with people. I'm like, please watch the full clip. I understand clip culture. Clips benefit this show amazingly for us. But no, nobody is speaking down with Darius A Cup. We have nothing but respect.
Starting point is 01:14:00 I don't know him to speak. I didn't see this, but I don't know him to speak. I've never been around him to work out. But I'm telling you. People cry. Well, probably the only thing that says it was an average 20 in the league. I mean, that's my favorite player in the draft. I'm saying what people try to make.
Starting point is 01:14:14 We was talking about people make narratives so they can draft people. Yes. So they did the same thing to Ace Bailey. And you took him anyway. Everybody talked about how his surrounding people was fucking up his draft stock. So I said people, if y'all don't watch the clips, people make narratives about people so they can fall in the draft and they can go grab them. And we said Denny Ains has done it before. But people just said that around his camp, but this is probably from people who want to draft him.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Like, oh, we don't know about his work ethic And then you hear Coach Cowell talk about he's the greatest Worker he'd been around the best teammate But I think we were talking about people using that as a narrative To like make people fall in the draft so they can pick them Yeah Yeah, bro took it like I knew I'm guessing assuming what DJ said
Starting point is 01:14:57 Like I knew what he's done I don't give a fuck what he doing the draft Yeah, those sources Yeah, like I don't have any sources Yeah, I was just like If I watched a full clip We said how that typically happens But I was just like he wouldn't put no smother on his name
Starting point is 01:15:10 If you actually look He was one of the early people who said, no, this ain't fulls gold. He's actually pretty fucking good. And he had a hell of a freshman season, man. Yeah, I think he's, I think he's going to be the best player in the draft as a rookie.
Starting point is 01:15:23 Now, overall, I don't know. Yeah. I just think he had had the most success because point guards get the ball putting in hand. And I think he got Damien Lillard type of game, even though we say he compared to Stefan Marbury. Mm-hmm. But I think he can have a Damien Lillard type of
Starting point is 01:15:38 entering the league. Like, Yeah, especially depending on what team you go to. Yeah, if he go to Memphis, you go to Sacramento, Chicago, any of them teams that's really, really rebuild and they hand them the ball,
Starting point is 01:15:50 you can get 28, easy. Yeah, I've seen Sacramento has been linked to him as well because it's been saying that fifth pick is probably going to either go to King Wogler or Mikel Brown to the Clippers. But yeah, there's Akev.
Starting point is 01:16:02 We want nothing but success for that young man. I know clip culture goes like that. It was a very slow media week. I get it. But let's not do that, man. Actually, fuck with him. Yeah, I didn't know that he did that.
Starting point is 01:16:12 And he's Detroit, man. We love Detroit. Yeah. It's always love for sure, man. Keep killing. Careware to see what you're going to do. Draft is coming up this week. I don't know why people were surprised that AJ DeBenzis didn't work out for any team because he's going one or two.
Starting point is 01:16:23 Why am I working? Yeah, he's been visiting cities and shit. Yeah, bro. I wonder why. I don't know. But I wonder why the Clippers will want Keating Wagler. Maybe because of Darius. He's a bigger guard, though.
Starting point is 01:16:39 Yeah, Darius Garland there. They said they want a guard big enough to a kind of combo together. That's what they were saying. Then I've also seen that they have reportedly, you know what I'm saying, made that available if they want to get Jeline Brown. Okay. But I think so much hangs upon Janus. I actually love various A-cuff with the Kings. I do too.
Starting point is 01:17:00 I just feel like they had handing the ball. And they fumble with so many guards, I think they would have to give him a thing. I learned a lesson. So, yeah. Yeah, learn their lesson. For sure. But I also love him with the Hawks. I also love him with the Mavericks.
Starting point is 01:17:15 Maverick's fire. I'm not mad at the Mavericks at all. I don't think he'll drop that far down, but I'm something if I'm... I don't like him with the Nets, though. I don't like anybody with the Nets. I pray he don't go to the Nets because that's just not... That's not it.
Starting point is 01:17:31 No. He don't have a strong enough core around him. Yeah, I don't see the Nets. Everybody else, I just feel like he got a better opportunity. need to be something. Like, I really like him with the Kings, though. He can learn from now if they're still there. I don't think he's ready for no super, super young team.
Starting point is 01:17:49 He got to go around with some vets that definitely play similar position or close to. Yeah, there is a good. Yeah. Hell no, he needs to go where. Ain't no point guards. No, I'm saying to where he can get the ball. I'm saying he need the game, bro.
Starting point is 01:18:00 To see him to just a bullshit team, that's kind of. Nah, he need that. He need to go through a bullshit team because that's what. Memphis, I give you that, but that's it for me, bro. The kings, bro. The kings make a lot of sense. Yeah, but he'll have Deboe in them there. They won't be there.
Starting point is 01:18:16 They won't be there. They won't be there. Demar de Rose and Russell Rushbrook, Zach Levine, all in the big white boy, they're gone. They're gone again. Bro, I ain't going to lie to you. Jack Levine. One of them going to beat him out of there.
Starting point is 01:18:28 None of them going to be there, DeMarre de Rosa will not be a king. None of them will be there. Okay. If the Montezzaabonis is a king, still, that's malpractice. If y'all think all four of them about to slide, Y'all crazy.
Starting point is 01:18:39 We'll see. I see what you said to be here law average. You said not all the biggest can leave. It's over, bro. It's over. That is Darius A-Cuff's team? No, respectfully, yes. I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:18:49 I'm like, thank God they all left. And it's not because I don't want the game from them. It's just be like, we're about to go as you go. They got that young big that they had a good rookie year. It's going to be them too. Let me cook, bro. It's going to be them. That's what I'll be young.
Starting point is 01:19:02 I hope they give them the ball. Your Hawks, I've seen people say Braden Burrys to y'all. A day tomorrow. I'm not mad at. I don't know which I want to. I like Dave. I just think we need a big. But like if, shit, if Darius A-Cuff all of us, that'll be great.
Starting point is 01:19:17 I know he's not. He won't get past the Kings. I'm crazy. I'm nothing. We need, we need, we need a day, whatever's name. A day tomorrow? Yeah. I ain't met at it.
Starting point is 01:19:29 A big. I was surprised at the Clippers not actually going big. I don't know what they're trying to. But they like Brooke Lopez. Yeah. John Collins still, right? Yeah, for sure. I don't know what's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:19:43 What's up with Tray Young? Trey Young is about to get paid. Yeah, he's going to go back to you. He's going to go back to D.C. He's going back. He going back? I think that play was already kind of... I ain't going to say that,
Starting point is 01:19:53 but I think that was kind of already understood. Because I'm out of 48Ms and you don't know that you're about to get paid as insane. I just want to ask y'all. I said, damn, that's... He's going to get paid again. I think the OGM from the Hawks work up there. Can you look up there?
Starting point is 01:20:06 tell me who worked for the Wizards. I think it's the OGM that drafted Trey Young. I think he over there, too. Yeah, I would expect that Trey O. They say he's going to get at least a 300 deal. He was the biggest Trey Young fan. Now, if it's something shocking that he just dipped, that would be his thing. I'm trying to see who all work over there.
Starting point is 01:20:26 What was his name? Not him. I know he's a GM. There it go. Travis Schlingke. He worked Senior Vice President and a player of personnel. He worked, he was a GM for the Hawks when he drafted Trey Young. So he got connections over there.
Starting point is 01:20:45 When I came to the Hawks, he was the gym, my second time. I know we joked about the 80 conversations. It's looking like he's probably going to be a wizard at least for a little bit. You like how to be doing that shit, huh? I told you that, though. I tapped in my name. I told you. That's why they
Starting point is 01:20:59 put you on Twitter about the hate coming. It was just a slow-ass news week. When I sent out of it, I ain't even going to fight this. You didn't, but I'm saying how people clipped shit up. That's just a gift and a curse. And they made it just short of somebody clips up. I said, whoever did this, had a good issue. A gift of the courage for real
Starting point is 01:21:14 having sources How they have finesse some stuff They did to Ais Bailey last year Yeah, we've seen it happen to So Tray Young and Anthony Davis are going to be wizards Yeah, I think I think Tray Young would be I don't think Anthony Davis will
Starting point is 01:21:26 I think Andy Davis will be At least a wizard to All Star Break Because I've seen the Lakers reunion Conversations Yeah, I can see that And if that happens, that's insane That's insane
Starting point is 01:21:38 The Lakers might be getting Walker Kessler Yeah, I've seen that too Damn, I'm under how much they're going to pay for him. Who they're going to trade? Austin Reeves going to go? No, Rui. Rue.
Starting point is 01:21:48 Get off of Rui. Ruey and a couple picks. Man, the Lakers get whoever the fuck they want. I ain't even going to question that no more, bro, because they make the impossible happen. And they're going to sign Austin Reeves and Brombeck? Austin Reeves. I don't think he's going to be a Laker, bro.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Maybe I'm Wally. I just don't understand it. Shit, where are you going to go, Detroit? I mean, people will pay. I mean, it's people who will pay for him. It's people who will pay for Austin Reed. I just don't see if that that's when... Come off that Rooie contract.
Starting point is 01:22:12 and a couple picks. Shit. Like two picks. The Lakers have been vocal, and Luca has been vocal saying he wants a grade A big. He wants a potential superstar type big or a really good big. I can see him going after Mitchell Robinson. Yeah, I was going to say Mitchell Robinson.
Starting point is 01:22:29 I'm obviously in Robert Williams as well. I know Tom Lord a little bit older, but Mitchell Robinson was a Lakers. He ain't that old, though. He's just been hurt. Roy Williams is back in Philly. He's not too old, but. He's probably like 30.
Starting point is 01:22:41 I pass that physical, my boy. Rob will be spooked. He's too. I'm about saying he ain't called. He's cool. I'm mad at. Most he 30. He just got bad injury.
Starting point is 01:22:52 I like Walker Kemp's better than all of them, though. I think he would like that too. I like Mitchell Robinson better. I think he would bring a presence to the Lakers that they ain't had in a minute. They do need rebound. They do need rebound. Defendant. Mr. Robinson, Luca Pick and Rose would be crazy.
Starting point is 01:23:10 He learned how to shoot a free throw. He got his word of cash, bro. He got to wear the cast, true. I got it up. I didn't even see that. Yeah, yeah. I've seen this. I don't know what happens.
Starting point is 01:23:19 What LeBron's going to do, I think that's really kind of important for them as well. Yeah, I think Bronn going back as well. I don't think Brock leaving. How much money do you think Mitchell Robinson get? He gets at least 20 a year. At least 20. But on the one year dear, south to CJ.
Starting point is 01:23:35 520 alum, get that chicken, Atlanta. Hell yes, Steve. Oh, buddy, got 12 a year from, um. Gillespie. And that got a good one too. He got a four-year, I think, two-year, no, three-year-tortment out there.
Starting point is 01:23:47 Yeah, 19, excuse me. Shout to them young boys, man. That's fire. I like that young nigga. Yeah. I ain't mad at it. Gillespie, I think he got underpaid. He got low ball, in my opinion.
Starting point is 01:23:58 You think so? Yeah. Who do you average this year? He could have got mid-level a little bit higher. Not that I don't think he did bad. I mean, he went undrafted and secure for that. And he did everything. Did somebody get a three-year-60?
Starting point is 01:24:08 I could see that. I could easily see that. That's hard, bro. He earned this shit. What you average, 12 and 5? Yeah. And his shooting percentages is crazy. I think 12 a year ain't bad.
Starting point is 01:24:25 He probably could have got 15. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. But, I mean, if you're comfortable, you get 40-48, especially undrafted, bro. I ain't mad at it at all. Oh, hell yeah. Yeah, that's that extension he needed. I know this chicken on the way.
Starting point is 01:24:37 I ain't mad at it. Shout to him, man. I'm building over boys. Boy, they be solid in the NBA. I swear. I swear about him. We're about it. Got to stand on it for sure.
Starting point is 01:24:47 We'll see what happens. Yes or no, y'all just get traded by, y'all just get traded about the draft. What's y'all got? We'll talk about it in the morning show, but I keep seeing the framework. They keep saying it's supposed to be everything but done for him in Miami. I see it's a 14 deal allegedly. Somehow the Lakers got in this.
Starting point is 01:25:04 I don't know how true that is. He's Jalen Brown in this mix. It's quiet. He's not going to Boston no more. They keep saying it's a three-team race, but I don't think it's happening. Brad Stevens probably said, you know what, fuck it. Yeah, this is what's supposed to happen, quote unquote. The heat would get Janice.
Starting point is 01:25:19 And it's supposed to be Duncan Robinson as well. The Bucks, Ron Holland. Back to the Heat? Yeah. Ron Holland, Jerry Vanderville, Hamie Hockass, forgot to do his name. The Lakers' first round pick in 31. Three Miami first round picks and the Pistons first round pick in 26.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Tyler Hero goes to the Pistons, and the Lakers get Isaiah Stewart and Clilware. Oh, the Paisers. I mean, the Lakers won. If that's the deal, the Lakers won. The Lakers getting involved in his choice. This might be the best overall trade scenario I ever seen for everybody. Like the Lakers getting Isaiah Stewart and Khalil, we're dynamite.
Starting point is 01:25:52 Pistons getting Tyler Hero. Tyler Hero with the Pistons. And he'll have a weird deal. Perfect. And then Janus. Tyler Hero. The heat really lost. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:02 Then he got the hell. Yeah. I mean, Yonison. Yo, Janice is a championship. I'm saying. Yonathan, bam. They, bam, just a. Shit, not going to work.
Starting point is 01:26:13 Baby version of John. She's not going to work, bro. Like, they both don't shoot the three at all. They both, like, point forwards. Yeah, I, I, that my hand be sick. It's crazy. Yeah, that's my name of Ron. Man, I know he pissed, though.
Starting point is 01:26:28 Yeah, Ron, get ready to learn. He's not pissed in Milwaukee. No, no, he's happy. He's about to play. That nigga didn't get in the game. They're not, yeah, he didn't play the playoffs. And that's what they were saying to pisses and they were like, damn, we're giving up some rotational guys.
Starting point is 01:26:40 They're like, but these are people that we didn't have planning to playoff. so how bad is he giving it up, especially if you get somebody like Tala Hero. Now, if you pay Tala Hero, that's a conversation. Tala Hero to the business is elite. Yeah, they need something.
Starting point is 01:26:52 That is. Yeah, another playmaker. That's amazing, actually. Yeah, people downplay Tillyero's game a lot. I mean, he's a potential all-star every year. For sure. That's a favorite white boy. That's my favorite white boy.
Starting point is 01:27:04 That's a 10 points. I'll be pulling up to Detroit more often, but for sure. Solid 20 points like that. The Lakers sneaking in that situation, bro, and getting fucking Khalil Ware and Isaiah Stewart. You hate it. I am.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Now, if they lose Isaiah Stewart might be tough for the piston. Definitely. But they said Paul Reed, it's time for Paul Reed to get minutes. Paul Reed nice, though. Yeah. I ain't going to hate Paul Reed nice.
Starting point is 01:27:25 But Khalil Ware, bro, to the Lakers, bro. And he's what, on a rookie deal. He finally gets an opportunity to play, bro. Kalil where to the Laker to set him down, bro. Lager snuck in there. If they do that trade, the Lakers snuck in there. He's going to hoop at them. Yeah, I'm glad my boy get a chance
Starting point is 01:27:40 to the show his showcase his talent. because I thought he was always hurt. That's fine. But I also laughed. There was a quote going on. I was allegedly sick. He's like, I want to play in Milwaukee. I just don't want to play for the books.
Starting point is 01:27:49 And that was just like, what the fuck you going to do? Play for the Brewers, niggins. I'm singing this, nigga, bro. Go where you go, y'all. Y'all is going to go, y'all. No, go to Miami. Go to Miami. Go there, bro.
Starting point is 01:28:02 You've been trying to get there for years. They ain't got nobody. They're going to, no. Can we put you those in the heat-price? And Pee's a lot. And Peezy, ain't he offered a contract? Get my nigga free MPZ, man. And Peezy might be free.
Starting point is 01:28:19 Whig? Come on. Bam, Janis, Wig. Davian Mitchell. Davian Mitchell. That's a six heart five. They ain't got a soul of a three-point sure on that team. That's a bro. I mean, they're supposed to get Ducker Robinson back in that trade.
Starting point is 01:28:35 We'll see what happens. But, boy, he's going to be relied upon heavy. Yeah, Wig. That's a good. Go back. I'm something on Ducker Robinson's slide. back. That's far. They need it. Yeah, that's fire.
Starting point is 01:28:43 He'll be back home. Hell, yeah. I'm rolling. I know he'd be hype. Yeah, I'm definitely rolling. Yeah, I'm a shout to my family in Detroit, boy, but I'm never mad if I got to go back to Miami. No, for sure. Not a bad relocation. I just think that's just a better kind of part for Kay, bro, to have Tyler next to him. Yeah, this
Starting point is 01:28:59 we'll see what happens, man. The draft will be very interesting. We've been talking about all these scenarios. We'll see what Domino falls first, especially with this free agency. LeBron, go ahead, now she's going back to Lakers, bro. Let's get this over with it. I'm going to be pissed, bro. I go to Cleveland.
