The Volume. podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. Happy Tuesdays. 520 in the morning. Your favorite morning sports show. Here to keep you updated. Everything in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is DJ Willis. Joined this morning by my two esteemed co-hosts on my left. I got my brother, Bishop Henderson to my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing? Good morning, brody.

Good morning. Brody. Good morning, good morning, let's get to it, nasty. I'm copyrighting that. Damn, you're gonna put him in a lawsuit. After you copyright you, that's crazy. Putting you in a 360 deal with your own phrase is crazy. It's crazy, man. But so listen, man, before we get to it today,

a couple of things, Adam Shepard put out, yeah, Adam Shepard put out a report today, the gentleman who hit Prepper Lawrence from Houston, Texas, me and my man Aziz up, I forgot his last name, I'll get his name all the way correct. But he got suspended three games for that hit. Damn, them game checks too, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's tough.

Especially in that final last week. I wonder how much he was making. I mean, honestly, I think he got lucky with that. I think in a different time, obviously they would have probably been nothing. You know, if this was like four or five years back, it would probably have just been a play on. But man, only three games,

so the reactions that he got from some of the players, I think that's the crazy part about it is, you look at the coaches, you look at everybody else from the league who was talking about the hit, that was just like, nah, that's some dirty shit. Yeah, that was. What's up boy's name

who used to crash out on the Lions? The Lion Man. On the Lions? On Dom Hensu? Yeah. Oh, Dom H name who used to crash out on the Lions? The Wildman. On the Lions? Oh, Dominic Hensu? Dominic Hensu used to wild out. Him and uh, that was my boy, strong man, strong as hell now. Steelers.

Oh, James Harrison? Yeah, I still don't want no Schmuck. Man, nah, hell nah, he one of the strongest people on earth. And what's crazy is the rebrand for Ryan Clark has been crazy, cause when Ryan Clark played football, he was a fucking demon. Yeah, he used to hit people. What is that a point?

You out of pocket, bro. Freaky Mike pulling up. We talking sports. He pulled up. He stole Mariah Milt from yesterday. That boy went back in the vlog after that. He's from the vlog. They talk about hell, Demetri, where he went to go tap in.

To the real hurricane. Shout out to Freaky Mike. Hey, did y'all see OG 520 alumni, Mad Max. Y'all see his PSA yesterday? Oh my God, shout out to Mad Max, whoever that dude is, he need to pay. That weak ass nigga. He said broke.

Broke ass nigga. Broke't beat that. Broke. Broke ass nigga. Broke with the roaches in the street. Listen, if this- In Memphis. You don't wanna owe nobody no money. In Memphis it's crazy. He told me exactly where he was at. He didn't know he was about to shout out the block.

No, God he was. Listen, I don't wanna owe nobody no money, but one of the people I definitely don't wanna owe is Mad Max, man. He's mad Max Facts. He bet Mad Max money for that. Yeah, man, we gonna send his gift well soon. I'll be his parlay today, man.

He gotta be able to get paid. So you working for his behalf, bro, cause he gotta pay mad max back, man. For sure. Listen man, yo Timberwolves took care of business yesterday, built a ass against the Lakers, went on nine to 80, Teeq always says,

if you don't score 100, you don't win. We played a weak team. We still building, so it is what it is, man. The Lakers, man, they gotta figure out a combination like when Austin Reeves don't play, like they ball moving and they combinations just don't work. I'm disappointed in Ken Reddish. I thought eventually something will click

and then he will be like offensive threat and it's like man he can't even score no more. It's kinda crazy. Yeah, you know it's crazy. Obviously he's still a young player, he got some time to turn around, hopefully, but it's crazy how the, like people are still on the Cambridge trend, they're just like,

it's always gonna be a break out here for him the next time and we get halfway through the season, but like damn, maybe next year type shit. Yeah, he just, he just, I don't know man, to be like the scorer that he was in high school and coming with all the accolades and stuff that he had, I just think he had more production by now. He got the skillset, I just don't know why

it hasn't clicked yet. You're five in league too, you're 25 years old. That is crazy. I don't even wanna call it a fall off, it's just that the transition just been a struggle bro, cause he was damn near a pro in high school. Yeah. Skill wise, so I don't know what's going on.

Maybe he gotta stop going out of LA bro. I don't know what it is, but Maybe he gotta stop going out of LA, bro. I don't know what it is, but if you look at them old tapes, you see like AE, Tyrese, Max, they talk about who the best player they play in AU. It was Ken Reddish. Yeah, easily. That's why it's amazing to see the opportunity is there and it just doesn't click for some reason.

For sure, and listen, man, getting smacked like that, I guess the Chief Wills is one thing, but getting smacked like that and AE only having eight points is crazy. Yeah, that's why I said, we played a weak team, boy, that ain't really. I seen it had LeBron said he wasn't gonna sit out this year, he gonna try to play all 82.

LeBron need to rest a little bit, bro. A just actually catching up with LeBron. It's the first time I ever seen it, like that he's really kind of slowing down. And to me, I ain't gonna lie, I think he might retire after this year. That'd be very interesting. I don't know, I feel like LeBron is such a,

I don't know, he likes attention too much, I feel like he would glorify it. I feel like it would be documented, like they would go into it on there. I don't think he would just walk away like that. I think he would have to have some type of roll out. He'd have a real farewell tour. I don't know.

I think he wanna do it differently. I think he probably got a documentary going right now and they probably recording everything he's doing. Cause I can't see LeBron having a year where he just not still like top 20 in the league. And you can see it's slowly like declining right now. I can't see him like going next year and being top 30. I can't see it. Yeah, LeBron can't average 17 in the league. Yeah, I can't see it. Yeah, I can't see him like going next year and being top 30. I can't see it.

Bronc can't ever 17 in the league. Yeah, I can't see it. I can't see it. He can't ever 17. But I just think like DJ said, the nigga love attention, bro. I think he got to go out with a bang, bro. I got my boy in the league. I think that was his goal.

He got Bronny in the league and now it's time to move on. Do y'all think LeBron cares about no championship? No. I'm getting it. He definitely not getting it in LA. But you think he care? He don't, bro. I don't think he care.

The nigga want to win. He ain't a competitor at the end of the day. He ain't worked this hard all his life just to go out. For sure. A losing ass nigga, but yeah, I don't think it's, come on, bro, you got the league. Sam, yeah, I don't think it's, come on bro, you got the league, same hands, yeah my son not going away bro.

It's deeper than the championship bro. I'm trying to run shit. I think Brian more focused on like owning a team now, for sure. I think he making them steps in the owning the team more so winning the championship. Yeah, that's why I think it's over. Like you said, I don't think he wanna be average.

Not average, but just a okay. Like a good NBA player, but not. He always been the best. I don't think I could see him just being okay. Yeah, and listen, there are highlights on LeBron, obviously, but I'd be really pissed off to see LeBron James out here getting cooked by some random seventh day man off the bench, bro.

I don't wanna see that, bro. I think he too good for that. I just, him just being like, the best player. He just old, bro. It's spooky. Damn. It is what it is. You know what's crazy, man? You was talking bad about him last week,

but Rudy, I played AD yesterday. Man, he still said it, bro. Like I said, like. Rudy the go-to guy on that team. Low-key. Oh. I ain't trying to R.E. bro. Okay, in that game, respect.

Yeah. A.E. had eight points. You was right about 18, but then he had, Rudy had 17 right there behind the pause. Nah, yeah, I mean, we ain't even counting this one. We played the Lakers, bro. It is what it is. One more game?

No, and I think, I ain't gonna call it Lakers trash, but they're not really no contenders, bro. That is what it is. Listen, short of your campaign, shout out to AE. He gave his homeboy his own PE in his shoe, and then they dropped it yesterday, which was super fire. And then they pulled up to Arena, shout out to Foot Locker. They went crazy with Adidas, and they gave everybody shoes.

At the game? Yeah, man. What up, gave people the shoes, bro. Gave his homie the PE. It was outside handing out free shoes, man. In that? Gave people the shoes, bro. Gave his homie the P.E. It was outside handing out free shoes, man. In that cold ass city. Wow. I wouldn't want them motherfuckers.

I mean, I wouldn't want those, my fault, Mike. But I lived out there. It's probably negative four. Man, I used to stand outside for the club, bro. You used to thirst. Which one, Tremors? Nah, since I never had to stand outside over Tremors. You had to VIP pass the Tremors. But since I was out Which one, Tremors? Nah, Sensu, I never had to stand outside over Tremors. Yeah, the VIP passing Tremors.

Sensu, I was out there shaking. What the fuck? I'm cool, bro. And what's crazy, Sensu, is they used to have the heaters, but in the front. If you're pushing it back, get it how you live for sure. Totally. Man, but shout out to the marketing campaign, man.

They going crazy for sure for AE. It's time for a two, though. Damn. All Star. Look, he was into the same thing. All Star. Look, he was interested in saying that. I'm just saying. Waka waka. Damn bro, All Star has 3000 color waves

of the one for a two. Listen, you would not ruin my ideas relationship on this show. Shout out to Cam, shout out to JR, we locked in baby. I'm underarmored, guys. What my shoes? What the fuck? I'm underarmored, what my shoes is that? Shout out to Fox, man.

Hey, answer some more shoes. Oh, with a coyote. I forgot my coyote. We support Adidas on this show, man. Both definitely, man. He's out of pocket. Yeah, I support Adidas when they send shit. I forgot y'all history deep in the rap.

I would respect that. They find me, man. JR, I'm still mad at your ass for that. I know you was part of it. That's hilarious me man. JR I'm still mad to ask for that. I know you was part of it. That's hilarious but hey, excuse me, Anthony Davis talking about the team being front runners. How do y'all feel about that? Because I agree, when the Lakers win,

we hear all about it. They're gonna be in the news regardless but it seems like it's a totally different energy when we win or lost. I mean, kind of obviously with that team but just he was more evident. I'd be talking shit bro. If the Lakers catch a shrub bro,

they really can make some noise. I don't think so. I'd be talking shit, bro. If the Lakers catch a shrub, bro, they really can make some noise. I don't think so. I'd be giving them hell, bro, but they okay. A ain't gonna be no playing team, bro. They gonna make the playoffs. I think they have to have another star. Even if they got to, I mean, granted, we always talk about who we gonna move

in a row, players in that team, but they have to go get somebody else who's gonna be a serious contender for me, bro. I'm just not lying here, bro. They need a star? Yes, or an all-star. He don't have to be bro. They need a star. Yes. Or an all star. He don't have to be a superstar, but he's going to have to be an all star type player to help that team do some shit in the playoffs for real.

I mean, obviously, can they win a round with LeBron James and AD? Yes. But after that is going to get spooky, bro, because all those other teams are really good teams. Yeah. And they also got other good players as well. They might not be as good as LeBron AD, but I got three or four players that they can't deal with. They need a bona fide score. Like, Bron still can get you 20 obviously

but he not a bona fide bucket no more. Anthony Davis can get buckets but they need somebody who just strictly get straight buckets. Yeah. How you feel about, I mean they say, Beyonce on the clutch. How you feel about him going back to the Lakers?

That's a possibility. Does that help that team? Yeah, anything helps. Shit, I need anything at this point. Nah, bringing me out there, that'll for sure help. I'd be mad though if I'm him though. Y'all send me out to New Orleans. They sent you to the Night's Watch.

Yeah, I'm cool. It's not a bad city, bro. New Orleans? What a bad city. It ain't bad. One of my favorite cities on earth, but if you look at some of the players history, I.E. Ergorden, I.E. Zion,

some of the people they thought was gonna be around there get to the city and be like, yeah, I'm damn cool. Nah, bro, Zion went out there and found that big old girl out there. It was cool. She just hit the internet. He wasn't expecting that.

He was laying over her big ass every night. Think Zion was shippin'? He was average of 26. Zion is an all star. No, let's not get it fucked up. No, for sure. So he didn't go out there and ruin his life. Please that girl alone, man. She's mine and her business.

I'm just saying, bitch ain't talkin' about me. She don't work for the Pelicans. They didn't introduce it. She gon' put y'all on the internet. I don't give a fuck, bitch. I'm ready to go. She gon' put some research on y'all. Niggas really gon' turn me up on YouTube.

So we can get on that. Shout out to yo, shout out to yo. I'm just sayin', it Niggas really gonna turn me up on YouTube. So we can get on that. I'm just saying it don't matter bro. He don't, Zion is still a killer. New Orleans is not a bad city. They don't go to New Orleans to die. But it is what it is. But y'all had good years out there. No they did, I mean, a lot of people do die out there.

Man, y'all niggas name Eric Gordon. He hated it from the moment he stepped foot in that motherfucker. Try to think who had a do die out there. Man, y'all niggas name Eric Gordon. He hated it from the moment he stepped foot in that motherfucker. Try to think who had a successful year out there. Tyson Chandler, what's the other? David West, like they were straight, bro. That's how I'm gonna say it. I ain't counting that. I mean, they was in New Orleans.

They was in New Orleans. I'm thinking about like, Drew Holiday. Man, he didn't die, nigga. They was kinda dead out there. No, bro, FD back to life when he left. When they beat the shit out of the Blazers. No, no. They had Cubs.

E2I Moreno was nice, bro. Y'all need some strippers. I'm just talking shit. But where AD left. I like New Orleans. Where AD left, everybody went to leave. And they got, they are the nicest people in the world. No, I love New Orleans.

One of my favorite cities on earth. No, they are in New Orleans. They got the code. They got the code. Yeah, and they got cool people that work in New Orleans. For sure. So man, shout out to New Orleans. One of my favorite cities on earth. The, they got the code. They got the cool people that work in New Orleans. Shout out to New Orleans, one of my favorite cities on earth.

So it's beat this shit off the heat yesterday one or eight to eighty nine. You know he was under underwhelmed but still man it is what it is man. So it's just gonna be there by the rest of your man. Paying preacher six men a year.

Why not. Why not 16 off the bench. He year, man. Payton Pritchard, six men in the year, why not? Why not? He was just 16 off the bench. He killin', bro. Had 25 yesterday, man. He nice, bro. I know he was nice his rookie year. I ain't expect... I kinda expected this angle. I never thought he'd get a real shot in the Boston though, but they figured it out. I think a lot of people were feeling the same way too.

Early on, it was just like, dang, he ain't gonna get no minutes, he ain't gonna get no minutes, and then he signed the extension, and then he start killin'. They got him on a crazy contract I know I know you got to sign that deal We always say when it's there you got to take it but sheesh That boy probably can like 80 80 Four years 80 at least they went on four year 32 He might be getting like 120 right now shooting 40 something from the third

It might be a different look on a different team though. Most definitely, but you know what I'm saying? They don't know too, after they signed the contract, you there. I ain't gonna lie, shooting travels though. He can do that anywhere. He can shoot the ball. Is he good enough to be a starting point guard in the NBA?

Yeah, he can start. Yeah, for sure. B.H. you a little hesitant? I mean, shit, that's your guy, man. Out to PP. I'm just looking at guys that start right now. Tyus Jones start. I love Tyus, but him and Tyus are very similar.

I think he shoots the basketball better than Tyus. Tyus might be a better decision maker. Maybe. Prior floor general. Yeah, prior, better floor general, but he can play a role, for sure. Most definitely. I bet.

This is a different type of pressure, I think, when you got a star in the league. I think, but playing in Boston is that kind of pressure all the time. Yeah, but I'm saying, I'm playing with five other killers. I mean, he played 28 minutes a game. You send Pritchard to Toronto, or a motherfucker to Trailblazers,

that's where every motherfucker the trailblazers. That's where a motherfucker might go and die. Portland? Yeah, the shots ain't easy, as easy as it is in Boston, bro. Most definitely. Like I said, playing with the Olympians and the superstars. Nah, he a killer. There's no slight.

No, I'm just saying, I think his role would be different. Like, we expect more out of you now. We paid you 120 million, and you gotta lead this team, at least to some victories. That's the story. I get what you're saying. It's like being a franchise guy. You don't think he could beat Jalen Bronson.

I'm not saying he could beat Jalen Bronson. But I'm saying a team that is a loaded team, if he went to the Lakers, the Lakers would love him. If he could sit out there and shoot threes. Hell yeah. I think Drew Holiday is one shoots threes. Yeah, hell yeah. I think Drew Holliday is like one of the only type of niggas, not saying he's the only one, but they can go to any team and still play the same way.

He's one of them for sure. No matter what Drew gonna do. I don't know too many players in the NBA that's not stars that can just go to any team and still give you the same type of quality like from the previous team. I like that take. I wanna ask y'all this because you know the guy Paul like from the previous team. I like that tape. I want to ask y'all this cause you know,

the guy Paul Pierce from the internet, he said that O-A team would have smacked last year's Celtics Championship team. How y'all feel about that? Fuck out of here. He said, if we'd have gotten their head mentally, we'd have beat them mentally. And I'm like, it'd be to hell with serious.

You know what, I ain't gonna say fuck out of here. Cause you know what, that dude play a part. I mean, Jeff played it, maybe I'm lying to speak on it, but shit, that mental shit dude. Them niggas talk cash shit. And they had a whip too. They ain't had nobody to guard KG. Yeah.

Nah, yeah that always, Celtics didn't had a whip too. Yeah, I forgot how crazy we was talking. You know what, that bitch was crazy too. Yeah, but Kendrick Perkins would've got exploited. Like you gotta think he couldn't guard. Oh, Corzingis is on the three point line out, working on a three point line. Kendrick Perkins would have been a waste out there. You put KG on Corzingis.

Yeah, yeah, too. OK. So they were just going to spread them out, boys and like driving kid like Paul Pierce was a little older. Ray Allen was a little older. Ray Allen was a little older. They went in a prime prime. Rondo versus Drew would have been crazy. That's a good match. That's a hell of a chess match right there.

Ray gonna have to play some defense. That's the only problem. Yeah, Jason Tatum and JB might cook them. I ain't gonna lie. Jason Tatum and JB cooking Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Yeah. That's good. But also to be fair, going back the other way, J.C. Taylor and J.B. cooking Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. That's good. Also, to be fair, going back the other way,

Paul Pierce is, go get 25 for sure. Yeah, but Paul Pierce was a little older at that time. Like, he still was killing. Like, he killed Kobe and them too. He was killing. Ray Allen was in at that point. He was still whooping shit though. I got some love to Paul Pierce.

He was still gonna cook. I love Paul Pierce's game. It was gonna be tough the other way though, cause having to guard one of them was gonna be a hell of a day for him. Miss Rae Allen was going, he was gonna have a night. Yeah, Tony Allen would've got a lot of minutes in that series.

He was gonna show him God Rae Allen. Freaky Rae. He was gonna have a night. He was gonna have a night. But I think they would've been able to hire Rae. He would've been able to hire Rae a little bit, bro. They had him. You right.

That's the only person you could have hit on. And Derek, why the fuck am I gonna go get 15 for no reason? That's what I'm saying. That team, that team. I forgot to hit Leon. Poe off the bitch. Now you can't bring, Glenn Davis cannot play in that series. Exposed.

Green. PJ Brown. Exposed. PJ is a Liza M up morning on that team. Only talks to us in the locker room. Sam Casill. Yeah, Eddie House and Payne Pritchard cancel each other out. That'd been a hell of a series.

That'd been a great game, though. That'd been a hell of a series. I'm asleep on Eddie House. What? Eddie House? Boy, that wasn't Payne Pritchard, bro. Nah, he ain't doing what Payne Pritchard is doing. They go, what?

Yeah, aw, yes. Eddie House could who? Y'all be trying to slight it like I'm calling niggas sad. I'm not calling niggas sad, bro. I'm saying in that championship round. What Payne Pritchard is doing for this Selfish team is not what Eddie House was giving that Selfish team. That's fair, if you're saying that the contribution.

That's all I'm saying. Yeah, it was. Last year, Payne Pritchard wasn't a player that he is this year. Hey, bro, so we're talking about this, let's just do this year's team. Nah, they said last year Payne Pritchard wasn't a player that he is this year. Hey bro, so we're talking about this, let's just do this year's team. Nah, they said last year championship team. I think it's, I'll see what you're saying here.

Nah, Eddie House. We're looking at Eddie House definitely because of the headband slap too. Nah, I don't know how this respect shit happened bro. Like, you know what I mean? I ain't sliding, my focal Eddie House, I'm just saying to me for the value of the team, Payne Pritchard, I don't think Eddie House

is definitely liable to get 20 a night with that Celtics team. He had games like that. Probably a few, bro. I'm saying that's what Payton Pritchard did last year. This year Payton Pritchard a different player. I got you. Well, last year on that Celtics team.

I like that talk though. I just think KJN was just too bullheaded. They might hone him, bro. Mm-hmm, yeah. Yeah, Rondo, Paul Pierce talking about shoes, he talk greasy to niggas, bro. And that was Young Rondo, I don't know, they might've. Young Rondo and Drew would've been a hell of a bunch.

They might've got them together, I don't know. And I will say, having Al Horford definitely helps that locker room, too. I mean, I know KG is a master at what he does, but I think having Al Horford to help kinda counter that. But they did go seven with the Hawks, though. Like, they struggled that whole, they won the championship, but they didn't have an easy role.

It ain't Boston. Boston walked through, last year they walked through team. Yeah. For sure. I don't know. Before we get off the topic, is it time to tank for the Heat? Yeah, go ahead and get out of here. Okay.

Yeah, it's time to go ahead. Time to rebuild for Jimmy? Yeah, go ahead. Jimmy, it's time to go to the, any with Cavs, Warriors, whoever available. For sure. I mean, your Hawks, man. Yeah, go ahead. Jimmy's time to go to any with Cavs, Warriors, whoever available. For sure. I mean, your Hawks, man. Yeah. Hey, let's be one of the old beat the pills yesterday. 120 for the 112. If we can get to the fourth or fifth seed, DeAndre Hunter, sixth man of the year. Okay. So that's some love for DeHunt. Yeah. He averaged 18 off the bench. Yeah. He hoopin'. But we can get to the fourth or fifth 450. I think he might win six men in the year.

Jalen Johnson, like you say, your all star take won't get there but he should be. Yeah, he should be all star. 19 to 7. Trey Young really been passing the basketball like really been passing the basketball. 12 and 15 yesterday. It was crazy because you know this time last year people were saying that they needed to trade Trey Young a bit around to John T. Murray and- I never said that. and that they needed to trade Trae Young and be around the Jontay Murray. I never said that. Today. I never said that.

True fits. I wouldn't put that on no small of your name, brother. I'm just saying a lot of people felt that they should trade Trae Young but not Trautay. I said they couldn't have both of them. I'm not saying you, I'm saying on the internet. I was just saying, I felt like that was true.

I'm the only one that talked about the Hawks, I feel like. Nah, I wouldn't shoot shots at you, my man. He feels the same. I feel good. I wouldn't know that. talk about the Hawks. I feel like. Nah, I wouldn't shoot shots at you. He feels us ass. I feel dude. I would never say that. I like the Jotay Murray, but I never said no. I just want to see Trey Young.

I just want to see Trey Young play with Wimby. I do want to see that. Respect, Lord. Free Trey Young, man. Biggest win streak of the Hawks, man. This season, what's going on? You think, like you said, you think they could do something in the playoffs

if they get there? Playoffs, I don't know about that, but if we can get to like a fourth, fifth seed, I just think De'Andre Hunter can win six men in a year. Okay. Trey Young passing the ball now, I think it's getting the more guys involved and they playing better.

I don't know how long this is gonna last because Trey like to get buckets too, but he's still having solid offensive. He's not shooting the ball great right now, but he is getting everybody involved. So we're like a better team. It's just that situation where everybody's trying to play good just so they can get moved.

You know, we be saying that, we talk about LeBron, some of LeBron give you a shout out, boy start killing on some of these teams, they ain't got really, you know what I'm saying? Long term aspirations, like all right, the stock is high. What we gonna do? I don't think that's the same for them. I don't know.

I know it's early in the season. We just got past Thanksgiving, but hey, they keep this up past Christmas. It might be some. We made some badass trades in Atlanta. So I don't know if we're going to be doing too much trade. Touche. We traded out on pigs for the John T.

Murray and stuff like then traded him. We don't do good trades. I don't think right now. Not right now. Yeah. Pelicans looking like they're gonna be where they are at at the bottom, they will be lottery for sure. Do they need to free to buy on that team? Like we said.

Yeah, everybody. CJ, does he need to go somewhere else? Yeah, start all over. Yeah, CJ need to go where it's time for CJ to be fighting for a championship. I think CJ, he's still a most definitely a capable player like star. But I think he need to be a six man for somebody.

I like that. Going on a contender. Yeah. He can still get you 20. He still need to play starter minutes, but he's come off. Also Barry White type shit? Yeah.

I like that. Yeah, for sure. Damn, that's crazy. I don't know where CJ could go though. It's a lot of teams, but it's the perfect fit. Like what it makes sense. Yeah, I was gonna say, if you narrow it down, like I said, I was gonna just continue.

Just cause how he plays and he's used to playing winning basketball with Dime, I feel like he could go in the locker room and then adjust for sure. He's young, but even like a team, like you said, Milwaukee could use somebody like CJ for sure. That'd be crazy. Off the bench, still playing, starting back together.

That's championship. Chemistry already there, they have merch together for sure. Who knew he was a winner shit. Make that phone call Milwaukee. Listen, we talked about Jalen Johnson. You think after this year, he's going to be all star? I think he'll all star now.

He not going to get denied, but for sure his career is on the way to being a perennial all star. 29 and five, yeah, gonna get denied, but for sure his career is on the way to being a perennial All-Star. 29 and five, yeah, that's like. That's crazy. And he not even tapped in, like he not even hit his prime nowhere near, well he's like 22.

Yeah, about his third year in the league, straight outta Dough, and there was some questions from him for a year. He has to make the All-Star team. 20, 10 and five. I don't give a damn what the Hawks do. 40, 10 and five. But his stat line is retarded, bro.

He gotta make it. Nah, he hoopin'. He ain't even hit the surface of his prom yet. That's crazy. That's gonna be interesting to see next year if Trae Young is not on that roster and he's not in the star that they built around. That'd be very interesting.

Like, it's gonna be a new way for Atlanta for sure. Yeah, I just, I don't know if he ready to be the star yet. And he a highlight waiting to happen. Oh, he ready. You think he ready to be the star? Yeah, he ready. Trae to happen. Oh, he ready. You think he ready to be the star? I'm gonna try your own type shit. I think he probably shitty, I mean, not shitty that he signed it in

because he got some generational money, but no, he probably like, damn, if I would've held out a little bit more, because that 30 is real nice before. You don't wanna take them chances though. I agree, listen, you know, I'm for sure money all day, but now you about to be in Facebook with French Ozz. Yeah, sure, don't take no chance.

I'll tell you that, Mike. You know what I mean? Look. Sign! See it here, see it there. That's for sure, paper. JJ'all sure don't take no chance. I'll tell you that, Mike. You know what I mean? What? Side! See that here? See that there? That's for sure, paper. JJ, you did it right.

Unless to these niggas, you'll be goddamn Dennis Schroder. Fight for your life. Or Kaminga. On me. Or what's old boy Nor, what? Norlans, New York. Oh my God.

I wonder where he at. Sick. That was my guy too, man. Damn, that's tough, man. Give us some nerdy. The Bulls took care of the nation yesterday, went to it, it went on to. Boots killing still 21 to 10,

Zach Levin had 18, your boy Josh Getty had a trippy dub yesterday, 2013 and 11. Freaky Josh. Mom, man. I don't know who the fuck you talking to, talking about your boy. Your man. I don't know nothing about that. They not like us. who the fuck you talking to. I'm talking about your boy. Your man. Yeah, I don't know nothing about that.

They not like us. What the fuck? That's his man. Oh, who's speaking on that man? You know, you play with that side anyway. I'm only dealing with them people because Mike make me. Jesus Christ. They not like us.

Hey man, Vooch, free Vooch man, free Zycklavine. They gotta get off that team, bro. They not like us. Hey man, free Vooch man, free Zycklevine. They gotta get off that team, man. Like I said, they went into this time to blow the team up, man. Mm-hmm, it's over for them. Yeah, man. I mean, everybody in the league can't blow up. Somebody gotta try to figure it out.

Nah. You can't keep saying what y'all think. They should blow up. Chicago been trying to blow up for years now. Nobody just take, they just don't take nobody contract off of them. Yeah. Honestly, that's what you should do.

If you're not, if you're not contender, bro, if you're not middle of pack, there's a couple of middle of pack programs. I mean, excuse me, franchise is going to be there every single year. If not, bro, take a risk, why not? It ain't like you putting the ass in seats. Like the Bulls fans going to show up regardless.

Now some of these other places, yeah, they got to do more to keep ass in seats. But a franchise like the Bulls, bro, people going to go to them games anyway. Might as well, man. Okay. All right, yeah, they gotta do more to keep assing seats, but if French y'all's like the Bulls, bro, people gonna go to them games anyway. Might as well, man. Fuck it. All right, man, listen, just past Thanksgiving, I wanna ask y'all, what's some of y'all biggest surprises

this year made a list? First place cast, how high is that on y'all list of being the surprise? What, the biggest? I knew when Kenny got the job, they'd be better. I didn't think they'd be the best team in the East for fighting for the number one spot Okay, but that's a surprise. I ain't gonna lie. It is for sure the Rockets turn around

We talked about them early going into the season now. They number two in the West right now that surprise as well Nope, I'm seeing them do it before I'm seeing them make other make a team of contender. He a good coach Shout to him. I you doing his thing for sure. Now I know B-Hank gonna feel this, the Warriors still being the Warriors. Yeah man, congrats man. It is what it is.

It's still early though. We tried doing y'all thing bro. Shout out to my nigga Dre Mon. Hey man, my favorite thing so far about Warriors fans is them going through the Buddy Hill cycle that we all go through. When he first come to your team and kill for the first like 10, 12 games,

he's like damn, I gotta steal. And then right 10, 12 games. Like damn, I got to steal. And then right after that, it's like, damn, what happened? And then it's like, damn, he's going to be good again. Then he's going to be gone. Yeah. Shout out to Buddy. It's tough out West too. So the Warriors really doing their thing.

It's like nine teams out there that's over 500 right now. So. We need to talk about the Grizzlies a little bit, man. Yeah. That's a surprise. I ain't going to say surprise. They always play well when Jai come back, but he been out for a while.

So to maintain the ship like they had 14 and seven, it's kind of surprising. Hell yeah. Shout out to them. And what's funny is we joked about it on here yesterday. Jai Morant made a tweet about Triple J yesterday. He was like, I can't do it without you. Now start cracking up, like you damn right you can't.

But shout out to you, man, cause he can't do it without you. That's a fact. He should have retweeted that shit. Why you retweet that Triple J? There's 10 teams out there. I told y'all bro, the West is way better than the East. Listen, we thought the East would be a little bit more

exciting with some of the moves that took place and you were correct. The East is definitely a three game winning streak to be had. That's 10 teams nigga. That's crazy. It's only five teams nigga out east that's over 500. The east is trash, bro.

The Bronx, it'll stay it over there. Well, it's the Bronx to go back to Cleveland and mess everything up. Sound about right. That would be hilarious. But yeah, look how tough that is, bro. It's wicked out there. So I gotta quit hating on the Warriors, man.

Y'all holding it down. For sure, and like you said, they've been without some games too, still figuring it out. Yeah. Franz Wagner feeling the void for Ben Carroll, bro. We had P5, you know what I'm saying? We knew he was going to be a pretty good all star this year. He was going crazy until he got hurt,

but shit, they've been killing without him. I know Ben Carroll loving that though. It's like when he get out of the way of his back, he can get back rocking with the guys and they can keep that run going. Yeah, he can take his time. He ain't gotta rush back. Yeah. When they get back on the way back, he can get back rocking with the guys and they can keep that run going. Yeah, he can take his time, he ain't gotta rush back. Yeah.

When they get back on the court together, especially with KCP, that's a scary team to deal with for sure. Now they got a lot of talent. And I like the side calls, but they got a lot of big wings. So it's a tough matchup. When I think about them playing against Boston,

they match up pretty cool with Franz and them. Break it down. Yeah. They got P5, 6'8", Franz 6'8". Whoever they centered and want to be at that time, they could play Goga, they could play. Jonathan Isaac. Jonathan Isaac. They can play my man from Duke.

When he get healthy, what's his name? Got the extension. Damn, I got something to go. I got it. It impressed me. It's going to, I forgot it. I'm out of pocket. You know what I'm talking about. Then they got Jaylen Suggs who's a defensive minded point guard. Orlando.

At six five. They got good size to match up well with Boston. It's just about them being able to score the ball at high enough clip to match them. Hell yeah. I like the way that Jaylen Suggs plays for this team as well. Like you said, he brings in their nightmare. So often he'll go flash like the other day he had 30. Like he's still capable of scoring too,

but they all have bought into the system. and so it's a place for this team as well. Like you said, he brings in every night and every so often he'll go flash. Like the other day he had 30, like he's still capable of scoring too, but they all have bought into the system. And shout out to them, man. Shout out to Coach Mall for holding it down down there in Orlando, man. They don't give black coaches too many chances. In fact, he got a chance with a roster

that really shows capabilities as far as fuck as well, man. That's a dangerous team. I wouldn't want to deal with them at all. Man, James Harden and the Rockets, Todd Lue, no Kawhi, no PG. I mean the Clippers. Oh, Clippers, excuse me, my apologies. He trying to take it back for sure.

Sure, you know what I'm thinking, my bad. But yeah, listen man, Clippers, above water, looking prosperous, MP, James Harden, Todd Lue, they getting to it, man. Most improved player for sure, go to MP. You think so? Yeah, just stamp it and give it to him right now. He, they getting to it, man. Most improved player for sure go to MP. You think so? Yeah, just stamp it and give it to him right now. He the oldest nigga ever to do it.

I'm gonna fact. Just give it to him. He killin' bro. Like I was gonna say, he having to help us. I don't know if he's number one. He living his raps though. Hey, he talked his shit in the media and said, yeah, more opportunity.

And took advantage, you gotta respect that. Did they win last night? Whoops. Yeah. I thought win last night? Whoops. Yeah. I think they got their ass big. Oh, we can check that out. Celtics beat the Clippers by 30. All right man, say amen.

I was like, what the fuck did N.T. do? No, they played the Heat yesterday, bro. I was just lost. No, I'm talking about Heat being killed. They played the Heat yesterday. You trippin'. Who played the Heat yesterday bro. I was just lost. No, I'm talking about Heat being killed. Who? They played the Heat yesterday. You trippin'. Who played the Heat? The Celtics.

What the fuck is this then? Oh, it's 1126. I'm like, what? He's confused as shit. I was like, wait a minute bro, what are you talking about? I am Doug Mahalepa. I ain't watched them games. That shit was wet. This nigga is looking up some shit before Thanksgiving. This is what Mike got on my shit, man. I'm like, damn.

He really threw me off. I'm like, wait, what? I'm like, the Clippers, what? I'm like, they played last night. My fault. They won my bad, A.P. I ain't shit. He was ready to hate. I'm looking up like.

That's fucking crazy. Hey, put that on the producers, man. I don't watch. Oh, that's crazy. Hey put that on the producers man. Oh that's crazy. I don't watch this shit. He gonna pull that on Nephew for no reason. I don't watch it. I don't watch it wrestling last night. Oh man. Shout out to the New Day.

What we got? Rookies, Dawg, Kadeega, Jerri, McKay. The New Day turned heel last night by the way. Okay. That's crazy. Keep, keep my shit up there, man. What the hell, man? I love this show so much. Hey, man, Jerrubin K ain't been my favorite rookie so far this year. I know he's a little dope and dick, but Jerrubin K ain't been hooping in the midst of the

sixes being trash. And I think it's hilarious that he goes and TikToks after the games because fuck y'all, I averaged 20. You know, I like, man, I'm gonna go with young Zachariah out there and Atlanta, man. He been playing already too, man. He averaged an 11 off, you know, he's starting, but he averaged an 11.

He's been solid. He's been solid for sure, hell yeah. Also too, we talked about that not being funny, but they gotta give him some change. You know, he's the number one pick, he gotta flourish as well, so. It might have to make some room for him, but. I mean, he's starting, he's getting a lot of minutes.

D-Hunt, they came off the bench, he took his spot, they, you spot they you know I mean D. Hunter been playing well off the bench. Zach man been solid for a rookie. Shout out to the Hawks man. Get well soon as well. Listen SPN had a 25 under 25 list. I'm gonna go through some of these names and y'all tell me how y'all feel about them. I will start low, start at number one, Victor Wambayana. That's a fact. Two AE. Okay. Three, Paolo Banquero. Four, Franz Wagner.

Chet Hongerman at five. Tyrese Halliburton at six. Tyrese Maxey seven. Total Lissa Water. Evan Mobley eight. Total Lissa Water. Jalen Williams nine. Hell nah.

I've written something 10, and then I'll go through. Give. Jalen Williams, nine. Alvin Sunken, 10. And then I'll go through. Give me Jalen Williams over. Tyrese Hallibur. On me. And Tyrese Maxey. Yeah, T-Max. And LaMelo.

Yeah, LaMelo is, Scotty Barnes, 11. LaMelo, 12. Oh, nah. That list is crazy. Tyrese Berry's supposedMelo number four. He after PB on me. Jalen Johnson being 17 is crazy. So I'd be a 16 just out of pocket too.

K cutting him that low too. Scotty Barnes above K cutting him. That's out of pocket. Scotty Barnes would be way lower on that list. Derrick Lovley on the list, that's some respect. Tyler Hero being that low is crazy. Jalen Green being 20 is, I mean, that's, nah, I don't know. Yeah, that ain't bad.

Dyson Daniels being 23 is nuts to me as well. That's about right, he should be like 25. Yeah, Lamelo Ball has to be higher. Brandon Miller not better than Tyler Hero. Not yet? Nah, nah, nah, I already know. I'm asleep, yeah, that list trash, bro. Darius Garland at 14.

Yeah, that's kind of tough. He already been an all-star. Yeah, I ain't rolling with that. So I ain't being 16, it's crazy. I know we play, but don't get it fucked up. It was on us on that court. Yeah, if he's healthy, I think I would give it that. Yeah, he better have it.

Cause he injured. I ain't gonna hold you. For what? Please don't make that trend tomorrow. Yeah, so I'm asleep. Whoever made this list, fuck you. But what? Please don't make that trade tomorrow. Yeah, so obviously whoever made this list, fuck you. ESPN. Same.

Shout out to Tyrese being in top six. The guys beat writers. Yeah, I don't know about that. That's wack. Yeah, that's crazy, man. Damn, LaMelo at 12 is very disrespectful. Yeah, that is disrespectful. Plus the other year he had it.

Yeah. Damn, get well soon, ESPN. Yeah, that is disrespectful. Plus the other year he had it. Damn. Get well soon with this man.

He deserved to be somewhere they winning bro. And bring him to that team, looked good, but they ain't been to fruition yet. And they can't afford to drop games in the West, it's like the East. He might be cool in Sagtown though. They might try Kevin Herder and we talk about that. First show.
