So I was excited to wake up and see y'all already talking about it night You know what I'm saying To catch some of the deals And as soon as I fell asleep All the crazy shit started happening So I was excited to wake up And see y'all already talking about it
Starting point is 00:02:48 You know what I'm saying To my right My dog Young Nacho Young T Your prediction came true man Yeah Which one
Starting point is 00:02:54 I'll never miss But Which one Now this is the time To make a compilation Of all the times That he was wrong I never miss bro
Starting point is 00:03:03 Get to it I rarely miss bro I ain't gonna hold you A couple people said In the comments before They was wrong on the show. I never miss, bro. Get to it. I rarely miss, bro. I ain't going to hold you. A couple people said in the comments before, they were just like, hey, man, I'll be listening to Teague Picks. I don't want some bread off of it. Yeah, I don't really miss. Damn, use that promo code.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Hey, the 76ers went absolutely crazy yesterday, late, early this morning. PG to the Sixers. I think we kind of figured that out. What's a couple moves played out? We'll talk about them. But how y'all feel about that You know what I'm saying Initial reaction
Starting point is 00:03:26 PG I told y'all He I get what y'all was saying We're niggas He don't want to come back To East And he want to win
Starting point is 00:03:33 But Bro he don't give a fuck Really like that bro He want to play with Joel He feel like he can do something With Tyrese Maxey He can at least make the finals That nigga wants to play
Starting point is 00:03:43 In the finals bro For sure I think that's why he Went over there Tyrese Maxey. He can at least make the finals. That nigga wants to play in the finals, bro. For sure. I think that's why he went over there. Tyrese Maxey got paid, too. Nice little payday. I was happy to see him quickly get paid and to see him get paid. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I've always fucked with them, especially a Kentucky underrated team. They ain't get to go to the tournament to really showcase for themselves, but shout out to Tyrese Maxey getting paid, too. All-star season. How you feel about that team, man? That's their big three.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Is that the best big three in the league hell no uh they got the best big man I mean him and Jokic just toss up to me but they got the best big man but Tyrese Maxie is a he's a good guard but I just don't think they got enough to beat the Celtics that was my initial thought process when i seen it i was like okay so a little bit of a backstory kcp goes to orlando gets that bread three year 66 22 a year shout out to kcp hoop legend so we already knew orlando was off the table for him and clay and then when we seen kind of back and forth with clay uh he's expected to make a decision between basically dallas um and the lakers and
Starting point is 00:04:45 i was looking at what they were doing and i'm like i don't see pg going to the map so it's kind of like he kind of had to go to 76ers because it's kind of crazy the clippers was like no we're not offering you a fourth year yeah is that crazy given how much they gave up to get him nope because you got to think about it less is more sometimes like you get rid of a PG, you get a Derrick Jones Jr. Now Kawhi might be healthy or whatever, but it unlocks James Harden now. He don't got to look to force the ball to PG and Kawhi. Now he can be himself a little bit. Then they got, like, glue guy pieces now.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Guys that's going to play defense, guys that's going to do the little things. PG a superstar. He wants the ball. He wants to to score he wants all that love still it's a lot to maneuver when you got four hall of famers on one team i agree and shout out to james hard we're gonna talk about him in a segment to end this episode still getting that bag two years 70 mil 35 a year boys were sliding my boy think he wasn't gonna get paid thought he was gonna be in the vet minimum going to the lakers y'all fucking crazy y'all don't know who james harden is yeah been keeping the bag a long time and it ain't gonna stop no not at all but that's crazy um golden state you know i'm saying they getting rid of that they got they said clown his way basically chris paul they you know i'm saying that he couldn't push that guaranteed day back so
Starting point is 00:06:04 he got waved now he in the spurs guaranteed day back, so he got waived. Now he in the Spurs. And I realize, I know he loves the game of basketball, but you got to really love the game of basketball to decide that near the end of your career that you moving to San Antonio, Texas. Yeah, he just, yeah, he just like playing, bro. He say he just doing shit. He just, he love the game like me.
Starting point is 00:06:22 They gave him the most money. He was like, fuck it, I'm about to bury it. That's the definition, I'm about to bury it. I don't most money he was like fucking i'm about to bread that's the definition i'm about to bread i don't care about winning no chip i'm about to bread that was the definition of it 11 m's to go to san antonio granted he is going to be playing one of the best players in the world um everybody keep acting like this is 2017 or even 2012 it's not going to be that same chris paul but i definitely like you know i'm saying the possibility of him being the person saying no make sure y'all get him the ball if it ain't him getting him the ball
Starting point is 00:06:48 I don't know what the Spurs trying to do like we said we talked about Rod dealing him them having the opportunity to get him kind of pass on that they're trying to get Laurie marketing I don't know how that's going to work but that would be a crazy ass front court if that was to happen that's a great pick up I just wish Rob would have stayed so Chris
Starting point is 00:07:04 Paul could get him the game but I think he's doing i think he got a good with mike i think he got a good guy like a good vet that could teach you oh yeah like cp is super cold but i think mike is like the perfect person because he ain't no hater either like yeah he gonna give you the game but he also be hyped for you to play. I ain't saying CP wouldn't be hyped for him to play or nothing, but CP's still a CP. I don't think he's going to really take a backseat backseat. I mean, he did this year in Golden State.
Starting point is 00:07:34 But he really didn't have a choice. And also, that's Steph. He didn't have a choice. Yeah, but taking a backseat to Rob Dylan Hamilton, because Spurs is going to be back. I don't think he's going to gonna be back yeah I don't think he gonna take a back but willing to take a back seat his last years to arrive Dylan him right yeah yeah I feel you on that too I was cracking on Twitter which is like what if would be he'd be
Starting point is 00:07:55 like hey I'm nothing on that teaching shit we could I'm cool and all that shit you got going on it's my shit this is my shitty foundation don't bring that you pass your shit down here in san antonio bro i got a cracker and papa's there too yeah the church is already fucked up bro move around my nigga for sure man that's crazy the 76ers to me even with the moves that they've made getting kelly uber back was a really good good pickup. Him getting $8 million a year, I was not expecting. For as good as he played in the postseason, we see Obi Toppin get $15 million, and I'm like, damn. I mean, he didn't score as much as Obi,
Starting point is 00:08:34 but they kind of contributed the same. I know they had a short postseason due to injury, but they got a bargain, man. Getting EJ, Daryl Morey, bro, he going to call them same people back. His name on his, Doc Rivers. If you fuck with Daryl Morey, you got a job for life. Yeah, him and Tibbs, bro.
Starting point is 00:08:47 They're going to get their guys. But I think Philly did a good job in this free agency. I mean, getting Andre Drummond for a backup center that you know is capable of having big nights and getting big rebounds and doing things like that when Joel get hurt because probably a 90% chance he going to miss 25 to 30 games for sure so to get another backup center that can hold it down while he out the only thing is like keeping kelly uber because paul george gonna miss quite a few games so him and ej can sharpen up the two guard spot but of and they got jared tiktok from duke you know i'm saying another backup guard yeah they had a good
Starting point is 00:09:23 they had a good offseason Here's the only problem With that And just Y'all know how we all Feel the same way About PG and Tyrese Maxey The Knicks Are still better
Starting point is 00:09:32 Than them And the Celtics Are still better than them Yeah Like to make them moves And to like Preferably be third In the East
Starting point is 00:09:39 Obviously we know It's come down to Availability and matchups In the postseason But man I don't think They're better than Them top postseason but man i don't think that they better than them top two seeds so far i don't know y'all if if the sixers are healthy they could beat the knicks bro you know how i feel about the knicks and losing isaiah hartenstein definitely
Starting point is 00:09:57 hurts definitely hurts them for sure especially in that series um but damn bro they just is healthy bro tyrese maxie paul george goddamn freaky and b bro yes bro what i'm saying they could beat their ass the knicks ain't got nobody to guard and be at all i like big fella what's his name athlete oh he hurt all the time rich robertson yeah he cool but they needed hartenstein like losing him is and let's talk about that too okay see getting isaiah hartenstein to put chet back at the four wrong that's a little far down who the fuck is gonna score on them because you got elite wing defenders as is and then you got two people who shutting the paint down and actually rebounders too and their games compliment each other because you know, Isaiah is really good
Starting point is 00:10:45 with that dribble handoff hot topic. Hey man. It's my sleeper team again this year, bro. They're running it back. Good for them. They solidified a spot in the West next year. They gonna, I mean, even for them going back against teams like Timberwolves,
Starting point is 00:10:58 they got a two big lineup that can match up with them. And they'll have advantage most like for both of them. But I don't know, still, man, I feel like that Knicks team could still get smoked with the Sixers, not have nobody guarding Bede but still. Yeah JR, you're right, JR are back. My fault, my bad. That's where they fucked up.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Nah, I'm just playing. My bad, Juju back, damn, my bad. But they don't have nobody guarding Bede. The Sixers though, that's gonna be, it's a lot of pressure on Joel Embiid though. And Paul George. Nah, because you kind of know what PG is going to do. PG ain't never –
Starting point is 00:11:29 He ducked the smoke for a good reason. Nah, I ain't saying he ducking smoke. I ain't never saying that. But I'm saying, like, Joel Embiid, that's his team. So PG came to be a complementary player to Joel Embiid. You can't expect PG to have moments to take over. And now you got another Max player in Tyrese Maxey who proved that he can take over. So he like
Starting point is 00:11:49 the complimentary OG. He the third piece? Yeah, I'm the complimentary OG. Y'all younger than me. Tyrese Maxey really our dog. You the MVP. I'm just going to hit a couple big shots. It ain't too much pressure on him, but that's good because he don't perform well
Starting point is 00:12:06 when it's a lot dependent on him. He like that damn light. I get it. I'm going to tell you right now, I can't wait to that press conference when they lose and he be like, well, that ain't really my team. Nigga, it's going to go platinum. I see good things for Philly.
Starting point is 00:12:22 I ain't going to lie. They're going to be a 55-win team. Once they gonna lie they're gonna be a 55 win team once they jump they're gonna be a good team but like you said that postseason gonna be different I don't know if they got enough to beat Boston yet but I mean sure they looking promising they just so unhealthy bro that's what I'm saying your two stars besides Maxie
Starting point is 00:12:37 he plays but like PG he misses a lot of games and then Joel and B misses a bunch of games I just don Joel Embiid misses a bunch of games. I just don't believe in that. They said it was going to be 100% healthy. I believe in that team. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I don't know. But Boston, they got too many people where they can have guys hurt. And it don't matter. It don't matter. You got Derrick White. Like, this is how I view it. Derrick White, Drew Holiday can cancel out PG in a game. Drew Holiday can cancel out Tyrese Maxey.
Starting point is 00:13:11 They don't got nobody that's canceling out Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. Nope. It's like they don't got that. And that's what you need in that conference. Because even with the Knicks, I feel what you said. Like you said, Isaiah Hartshall, it definitely makes a big difference because Emb in b is that nigga when he's healthy but goddamn canceling out jalen brunson's gonna be tough but him and maxi yeah but but that jalen
Starting point is 00:13:34 brunson shit is a little bit that playoff i watched i watched him at a playoff they was going back and forth bro for sure but i'm i'm taking jalen i i gotta take jalen this situation bro i don't think tyree's wants that Jalen smoke, bro. And that's no disrespect. Tyrese Maxey cold. I'm not, bro. I think Maxey really better than Tyrese Halliburton, but that's just me. He is.
Starting point is 00:13:52 It's just me. He is. Tyrese Maxey is light years better than- Oh, that's what we on today? I'm just saying. That's what we on today? And I don't never really agree with this nigga on too much of shit. That's real talk, bro. Hey, go pull up Game 7 footage. That's all I got to say. I'm going saying That's what we on today And I don't never really agree With this nigga on too much of shit That's real talk bro
Starting point is 00:14:06 Hey Go pull up game 7 footage That's all I gotta say I'm gonna say I never I never seen a game Where we had to tell Tyrese Maxey To shoot
Starting point is 00:14:12 Like You gotta be the guy That nigga is ready to be the guy That's why I like him That's why I kinda believe In the Sixers Cause of him Not cause they got Paul George
Starting point is 00:14:20 It just helps That they got Paul George Like okay That's another dynamic player He better than Tobias Harris. Like, we know we can believe in him. He can get 20 points. Like, Tobias Harris can too, but they wasn't fucking with Tobias Harris.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Yeah. They going to fuck with PG. Tobias Harris is a motherfucking legend. He's the MVP of the summer. Yeah, bro. He's a motherfucking legend. Forgetting the bag in Detroit. Another, what, 26, 27 M's a yearucking legend for getting the bag in detroit another what 26 27 m's a year
Starting point is 00:14:45 with no pressure now when it be got her to play us last year they was like it's tyree's maxi or bus i was like i got a max player starts and plays on top but they wasn't fucking with him like they ain't giving a boy it was time for him to get out philly because he really nice though i swear to god it's really nice i just i just said that conversation i conversation on mic. His production at times, I understand why he gets the slander he gets a lot of times is deserved. But you don't find too many skilled people 6'9", 6'10".
Starting point is 00:15:14 That's a light 16 and 8, bro. Yeah, he really nice. He be having the numbers too. He can shoot. He be with 37 from the 3, all types of crazy shit. His numbers be here For the money Yes bro
Starting point is 00:15:27 I just said that In the other room And fuck whatever he did He made 300 hymns From the league And he has no expectations Tobias Harris Is a fucking legend
Starting point is 00:15:35 At the bank That's what's more important to me He got the best career Ever He got a better He got a better He's the Michael Jordan Of Joe Johnson's
Starting point is 00:15:42 Yeah Yes Tobias Harris is up No I'm not talking about skill But I'm talking about like Living with no expectation You're talking about the pay Yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:15:49 That niggas get paid For shit show bro Like to kill And like Yeah he did it perfectly Yeah like Less than 10 points Elimination game
Starting point is 00:15:56 He was like I'm thinking about 27 M's this summer That shit fire Yeah Be a free agent Nah that's wrong That means I'm going to Detroit
Starting point is 00:16:04 Fuck it Zero expectation I know look Listen I know damn well If J.B. Bickerstaff fire be a free agent I'm not that means I'm going to Detroit fuck it zero expectation I know look listen I know damn well if JB Bickerstaff get that motherfucking piss his teeth
Starting point is 00:16:11 to the playoffs in the next three years he deserves an award because that man got fired for turnaround team in Cleveland and he sent
Starting point is 00:16:18 they sent him to Detroit and they got a whole bunch of people who can't shoot but I'm telling you Detroit gonna be alright this year they need

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 00:20:40 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 and hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I just seen a dude didn't play, got 32 million. Shout out to him, man. Shout out to him.
Starting point is 00:21:34 They get traumatized. No, I'm just like, where the league is in a great place, I'm not hating. But it's just like, damn, this motherfucker didn't even play. Bro, at all. Yeah, and you got 32 M's. That's amazing. And that's how I know the Lakers fan base is full of some sickos that was like yeah darwin him's out the way now we could play max christie i'm like look what y'all be on he's a max christie they're gonna trade max bro no i mean he just got
Starting point is 00:21:53 four year deal shout out to him no shout out to the payday we never hate on that i think it's far sure yeah we for clarity we fuck with that but i've seen them talk about the rosen um i think that would be cool um but i think they're gonna have a trade and probably pick up clay yeah before you start to off the off the off the pine it's great bro not a thought what did uh ob top average uh i think ob was close near 13-ish. The 60 ball. Shout out to y'all, man. I was 10 years too early, bro. This is what you have to do to get this money. It's a formula, baby.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Yeah, bro. Niggas is not going extra, bro. That shit be capped. Boy, based off your ballless life highlight tapes the last two weeks, you'd have got a smooth nine a year off the dribble. Man, 10 years too early. Shout out to them, man. Should have been playing under the rim.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Nah, I should have been born in 1996. I'm just saying, Mike's still floating, bro. He older than you. Mike. Yeah, Mike's still doing his thing. I hope he did just get 11, dude. Come on, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:59 I'm about to go train. I'm going training, nigga. You got to go kill the rest of the victory. Come on. Put your Joe Johnson's in the way. Yeah, I'm about to start taking the IB'm going training, nigga. You got to go kill the rest of the victory. Come on. Put your Joe Johnson's in the way. I'm about to start taking ibuprofen again. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:23:10 He don't want to mention that other shit. That Ryan Garcia. FGH. Fuck it. One last time. My boy going to go to Germany for a couple weeks. Man. Turn my phone off.
Starting point is 00:23:24 This is not the time for that. I was about to say so. We in the morning that we in the morning we in the morning nah Obi getting paid was crazy and I did some research into this the price would have been cheaper for Obi but he did so well in the playoffs I think that bumped his pay grade up and I'm just like damn like you said
Starting point is 00:23:40 for people these are role players that are not even considered to be the sixth man or damn or the seventh man boys is getting paid right now it's just what the market is yeah that's that's dope though but i think the importance that everybody showed like the last post seasons is just like hey these bench players role players matter just as much as our first unit like you got to invest all the good teams have solidified people off the bench that can come in and keep the lead or play just as good. Yeah, facts.
Starting point is 00:24:07 But the Pacers bench was the best bench in the league, so he deserved that money. I can't wait to see what my little homeboy get, T.J. McConnell. I hope they work out an extension with him. T.J. Nash? Yeah. He's about to get paid. OB got 60.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I know you. T.J.'s over there hype. I'm going to tell you right now. Very much so. I'm goinga tell you right now Very much so I'ma tell you right now That price better not be crazy It's gonna be He gonna have to get the fuck
Starting point is 00:24:30 If so He gonna He looking for 18 a year Because I thought Man you'll quickly just get But who else are y'all Looking after though No no no
Starting point is 00:24:36 Hear me out I gotta pay what y'all weigh IQ just got five year 175 right Has nothing to do With your organization No listen to me Yes it does
Starting point is 00:24:42 Because we have Andrew Dimpart Who just killed in the postseason last year we are not going to be up so for him we are not going to be able to afford him so if we want to keep edging him hard for the future that TJ paycheck better be real comfortable because all we contract is flexible that's a good contract for both sides TJ he one of them guys he's he he'd like to be. He know his style of play don't fit every single team. It fit the Pacers because he going to go to some other teams.
Starting point is 00:25:09 He ain't going to be able to run around with the ball like that and do what he's doing. So they worked out an extension. I guarantee if he was like, give me the same thing Obi got, four years, 60, whatever, I guarantee he'll sign it. He a smart man. Listen, man, if we going to having $60 million on the bench, we better be doing something because we are not top of the sheet right now.
Starting point is 00:25:28 That was the reason y'all was good, y'all bench. No, that's a fact. I'm rolling with you. I'm rolling. Y'all starting five was cool. They played good. But when y'all bench came in, they won games. It was hurt.
Starting point is 00:25:39 No, our bench is the reason why we excelled as well. Y'all still got Ben. Matherin. I mean, I don't know what else y'all gonna do, bro. We can't do anything. I don't think there's a move out there now that puts us in the top three in the East. Stay where you at. You have to
Starting point is 00:25:54 realize you have young talent. You have to play Benedict Matherin. You have to fucking play Jairus Walker. Have to play. We have to see what we got. And then just go from there. If you gotta do something mid-season, make a decision. But right now, nothing helps us unless we can get a backup big faces are screaming playing nah we top four top five at the left but we're probably right behind milwaukee depends upon what happens milwaukee i wouldn't even go and get to them my boy is back you see my boy
Starting point is 00:26:18 who damn training right now who back damn he trained right now. Who back? Dame, he training right now. I know who Dame is. Who's back? Milwaukee. Man, I don't want to hear about the niggas. Milwaukee. Giannis back. Bounce that ass. Pause. Bounce that ass.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Giannis back. Dame back. Chris Middleton back. Brie Lopez ain't back. It don't matter. But if he do come back. DJ, y'all trash. We top five, baby.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Actually, they big three is better than the... They big three damn near better than Philly. Ooh, they're about to get clipped up. It is. Giannis is just as good as Embiid. For sure. Chris Middleton just as good as Paul George. That's going to be the one they get you at. But Middleton just as good as Paul George. That's going to be the one they get you at. But he ain't just as good as Paul George right now? I'm not disagreeing. Did you see him in the playoffs
Starting point is 00:27:10 against y'all? Them fucking bank ass three. Off the injury he was hurt. I'm just telling you this is where the clip is coming from. The next YouTube clip they going to be like oh. I'm not rolling with that one. No I'm not saying overall body of work. I'm saying right now as players. No.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Go look up Chris Middleton's stats in Paul George stuff. I bet they do it. Shout out to K.M. Shout out to K.M. What? They ain't better. You talking about who going to give you the same production? I ain't mad at you for your take.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I'm just talking about the Chris Middleton to Paul George. I'm not saying. I need the Milwaukee Bucks to go get somebody under the age of 25 on that roster before I feel it. You see, they just got my young boy, AJ Johnson. Yeah. Back to my previous statement. I'm not worried about no fucking Milwaukee. What are they stats compared to?
Starting point is 00:28:01 The 2023-2024 season, Chris Middleton had 15 points. Paul George had 22 points. Say less, K. They had the same rebounds. That nigga was hurt. Chris Middleton averages two more. Y'all got to stop making me laugh, bro. Last year.
Starting point is 00:28:19 He was hurt last year. Y'all got to stop making me laugh. I'm saying go to previous years. I have a question. Can you pull up Tobias Harris' numbers from last year? Because we should probably compare Chris Millington more to Tobias Harris. Don't ever disrespect a champion, bro. What the fuck you talking about?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Don't ever disrespect a champion, bro. Shout out to Chris Millington. Don't disrespect that champ, bro. Don't disrespect champ, bro. You're playing the TV. What's the deal? Boy, y'all stupid, man. Nah, that paint's the paint.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Nah, so I got a hate. We beat Milwaukee ass all last year. They going to catch all the slanders, so they won't smoke. Yeah. He was hurt. Go, go. Overall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:53 He was hurt, bro. That's fucking hilarious. Overall career? Chris Middleton, first couple years, he ain't played, though. So his stats was kind of like. That shit is funny. That's on the same team together, too. He averaged 17 points.
Starting point is 00:29:03 That's both of Detroit together, right? Four rebounds. Four assists. For his career 17 points. That's both of Detroit together, right? Four rebounds, forces. For his career? Yeah. What Paul George had for his career? I mean, P.J. is a superstar. I ain't hating him, but I'm just saying. His career, 20 points, six rebounds, forces.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Like. Nigga, okay. Like. Bro, Paul George is way better than Chris Milton, bro. Nah, go to the last couple of years. Not this last year. Chris Milton. I sound like him when he was trying to find that GM
Starting point is 00:29:25 from the last pod. We found that nigga. What the fuck? What the hell you got, DJ? He keep capping for this nigga K. Hill. Shout out to Milton, bro. Send my nigga Tiga sign a jersey. Oh, he got one.
Starting point is 00:29:42 He a champion. What y'all talking about? Shout out to Chris Filton Hey The Clippers Is a freaky ass organization They went through the history Of them getting people back You know
Starting point is 00:29:51 Santa's had some real Troubled Immediate paths They got Freaky ass Josh Primo Fresh off the allegations And now you got
Starting point is 00:29:59 KPJ Two year deal With the Clippers Good pick up Him having to Be careful Second year As a player option Which is kind of crazy In this situation I know all that stuff KPJ, two year deal with the Clippers Good pick up Be careful, second year as a player option, which is kind of crazy
Starting point is 00:30:07 in this situation, I know all that stuff has passed, I know that whole situation happened The legal stuff was kind of shaky with that, but no, the court of public opinion he lost that You think it's kind of too soon for him to come back in this situation? He was only out the league for basically about a year
Starting point is 00:30:24 Nah, people make mistakes, man he got a second chance bro he too he a good talent i'm not saying like talent shall always shit you do off the court but i'm just saying i think he probably learned that lesson he lost a lot of money because of that shit yeah and i think yeah he lost a lot of money and i think he learned from that lesson he's coming back a different player he went to greece you can tell he's just probably a different person now. Yeah, bro. We took Chris Brown back, bro. So welcome back to the league, KPJ.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I hope you averaged a dub, bro, off the pitch. Yeah, because I was seeing a lot of discourse about it. It was just like, you know, his situation compared to Miles Bridges. It was just like, you know, you saw a lot more substance in Miles Bridges' situation, and he still came back. And regardless of what you think about it, they didn't see a lot of substance from what happened from the KPJ situation I was just like so for him to come back and play like what's the difference but a lot of people were just like why I keep
Starting point is 00:31:11 being the Clippers so that has been very interesting to see about that too man shout out to Ty Lue for giving a second chance this man hey shout out to Ty Lue man I think what you said to open up this podcast is perfect I think the Clippers talent wise might not be the same but I think what you said to open up this podcast is perfect. I think the Clippers, talent-wise, might not be the same, but I think a much better team because, like you said, the hierarchy and stuff, you don't have a superstar you got to cater to no more. You got just a flow of a team and a buy-in situation. For sure. And I think some of them people, I'm not discrediting Paul George.
Starting point is 00:31:39 He's cold. For sure. KPJ and them can have nights where he could be a Paul George type of scorer. I've seen him get 50 He's got 50 on the team I played against When I was on Milwaukee he gave us 50 So I know he can have nights like that And then you still got James Harder
Starting point is 00:31:54 Who can have big nights And the list goes on of players that they got I mean Kawhi if he come back healthy Then they a whole different team Hell yeah man It was very interesting. Free agency, everybody thought it was going to be boring, but by the time we got into Sunday for real, well, excuse me, early Monday,
Starting point is 00:32:12 shit got crazy. I am interested to see how the rest of these things play out. I think we see Clay to L.A. going through. I wonder what the fuck Dallas is going to do because they freed up all that space and cap, and they have not came through with anybody yet, and if they don't go get somebody, they're going to be screwed. Also, the Nuggets, losing KCP was a big deal for him, but I think other people have reported on this extension process that we have not seen with Jamal Murray,
Starting point is 00:32:39 and we have not seen one with Aaron Gordon. And they're scared because they're like, Jamal Murray is fucking playing Olympic basketball, but he ain't signed an extension yet. I mean, he ain't going to sign an extension. He not going nowhere. But I think they got players that was just as good as KCP off the bench, though. What's the white boy name? Brown.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Christian Brown. They lost Bruce Brown. They was like, we ain't tripping off losing Bruce Brown because they had Peyton Watson. Yeah, I think them young boys can come in and kind of take that spot. Not to discredit KCP. I think he did what was best for him. He got paid. But little bro can come in and give you some type of that same production.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Let's just talk to the Magic. The Magic got a piece that they needed for that team. I don't know how much better they're going to get with him. But, shit, I like him because, shit, bro, you already got the chips, bro. Go get the bread now. Yeah, no, definitely get the bread. I'm happy for him, though. For sure, man. Look, man, free agency I like it because shit, bro. You already got the chips, bro. Go get the bread now. Yeah, nah, definitely get the bread. I'm happy for him, though. For sure, man.
