Please tap in, but you know what it is. Friday, 20 in the morning, your favorite sports show. I'm your host, my name is DJ Wills.
Starting point is 00:02:20 We missed y'all, so we got a full house this morning. We got Bisham, we got Lou, we got Moog, we got Teeq. Fellas, good morning, how y'all doing? I'm saddening, brother. You're family? It's been a while, man, we've been on the road, man. We gonna still hold y'all down, man. Breaking news, late, late in the world,
Starting point is 00:02:32 early this morning, Sean's broke the news, man. Drew Holiday, a blazer for the second time. He got traded for Anthony Simon's and two second round picks. The move saves Boston almost $40 million in that luxury tax payment. We just had Mr. Grooseman on the pod talking about some moves that potentially might do, The move saves Boston almost $40 million in that luxury tax payment. We just had, you know what I'm saying,
Starting point is 00:02:45 Mr. Groosman on the pod talking about some moves that potentially might do, but we did not see this one coming. Fell in love with this move. Great trade to me. Okay. Upgrade for the Celtics. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Okay. I knew it was gonna happen. You know, I got an inside scoop with some things. I told you this was the move that the Magic should have made. To get, like, I'm not gonna say he's good as Desmond Bane, but he not too far off. He not.
Starting point is 00:03:14 No, Efrain Thomas is a bucket, unfortunately, he's been sitting in the portal and they haven't been doing too much, but you spoke really hard to Trailblazers. That team was a really, really good offensive team, especially after Christmas break. So to add Drew Holiday to that, hey man, that looking promising, man.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I don't think Drew Holiday would be there. Yeah, I don't like that. I think they would probably move on from Drew. For the second time? As they should, bro. I don't like that. I mean, I like, I like Drew Holiday as a player. Obviously, he's a cool dude, friend,
Starting point is 00:03:42 but I don't think he gonna want to be in Portland. I mean, Drew different, he probably don't care. Drew was ready to retire some years ago, but when they keep giving you money, he's like, I gotta keep playing. But I can't imagine that he's gonna stay with this group. I can't see it. Okay, now, I mean, obviously,
Starting point is 00:03:56 Amphery Simons was an aspiring situation. Makes sense why the Blazers moved off for him. You get Drew, you could probably get other assets. But if you do keep him on that team, you think he's something you would want to mentor or scoop for for a couple years? For sure. I mean, Scoot Henderson, this should be a player
Starting point is 00:04:11 that he want to play like. Like same similar body type, both really strong guards. Probably both could be really good defensively. Obviously we know Drew can do defensively, but Scoot can probably be a really good defender with his size and his speed and his quickness. I don't know. I don't know. I like Anthony Simons because he's so young.
Starting point is 00:04:29 So I think obviously we know that Boston won this trade. They got under the tax. They saving $40 million, but they also got a 26 year old score. And not to say Drew couldn't score no more, but Drew 35 years old, he was on his way out. So Boston did it again. And with Jason down too, that's a fire pickup.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, that's 20 a night for sure. You're gonna say Brad Stevens. The heist of the century again. Brad Stevens, stay finessing, boy. The things he's done as a general matter so far has been magnificent, but like you said, JT being out next year, and Everett Simons moves to that starting spot to two
Starting point is 00:05:02 next to JB, I mean, I don't think he can score as much as JT, but he he definitely gonna score for sure. Yeah. I think they could move on from Jalen Brown too though. Not to say that like Jalen Brown's not like a phenomenal player. I'm just saying, y'all not probably gonna win a championship
Starting point is 00:05:17 no time soon no more. Like it's over with. Yeah. Like you- Yeah, the injuries messed up y'all timeline. So to get under the, you know, the apron. They might as well move on from that contract. Most definitely or Derek White. One of them move on there. Why you think so? They
Starting point is 00:05:36 make money. Yeah, I'm just saying from a money aspect like we all know that we want Boston to be a good team. Boston is better or person gets move on from Port Zingas. Yeah. He's injury prone anyway. He's missed a lot of games. But that's why I don't think they'll be able to move on. I don't think they'll be able to move on from Porzingis because unless they group him with somebody,
Starting point is 00:05:55 because he's too injury prone, he missed a lot of games. But they not gonna do nothing next year. Like, it's over with. They gonna be a playoff team. They'll be a top five. Yeah, but like when you paying that much money. Yeah, you want to win. Yeah, like you got to make up with them
Starting point is 00:06:10 playoffs and championships and like, they'll be a good team. They'll be top six in the East. Yeah, I know beforehand when Katie was still a son, they were saying potentially Porzingis and Drew trying to link those contracts together to move on. Obviously, I think they still want to move on for Porzingis. I don't know how that works.
Starting point is 00:06:27 If somebody wants to take on that contract, we've seen Jayler Brown a lot of different places. We know Houston was one of the teams that said potentially would go there. Obviously, they're not going to do that now with KD. No, they said they still want to try to get them though. I was going to say maybe they still could make that shake. They still got the assets. They still got some picks that could finesse with it as well. But yeah, I think like you said, Boston, they're going to make some shake, man. That money's too high and they ain't championship. So would as well. But yeah, I think, like you said, Boston, they gonna make some shake, man.
Starting point is 00:06:45 That money's too high and they ain't championships, so might as well. Yeah, I think without JT, that's still a top three team in the East. I mean, consider everybody being injured. They got a possibility to. It could be. Cause the Pacers are down.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yeah, we're down next year. Milwaukee might be down again. I don't know, bro. Depending on what Philly doing. We don't know what we're gonna get for Philly. We're sure the year. Milwaukee might be down again. I don't know, bro. Depending on what Philly doing. We don't know what we're gonna get from Philly. We're sure the Knicks are still going to probably be a top seed team. Cleaver?
Starting point is 00:07:12 Maybe, we don't know. I seen Cleaver. I see top four. Okay, well maybe they stay with this squad and try to see if something happens. Yeah, this is very interesting. But shout out to Chauncey Billups. He did a great job, got the extension.
Starting point is 00:07:25 What does Poirot need going forward? I mean, obviously, he's a whole new team. They got some young promising players, man. They got some nice wings as well. They just need a star, bro. Okay. They need a star. They need some heads too over there.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Yeah. They gotta hit big in the draft. But they gotta, one of those guys, is it Skoo or Sharp? One of them have to have like a breakout season. And I think it's more likely to be Sharp just because it's potential to score. I think Skoo's a good player, but I don't think he shoots the ball well enough.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Like him averaging 18 last year, he has to make that leap to like 24. And he got the ability. Every time we see him play, we like, damn, he has to make that leap to like 24. And he got the ability. Every time we see him play, we like, damn, he can play. But I think them moving on from Simon's opened up for him being a starter. And I think he gotta make that leap to like 24. Most definitely, you look at,
Starting point is 00:08:20 you still talk about Jeremy Grant. Man, free that man. He need to go somewhere and play baseball as well. I think if they think they can be a good team and drew I mean drew holiday and Jeremy Grant Yeah, they actually they a nice team, but they just need that one little piece You gotta get them over the hump and they gotta be sharp. He gotta take that leap and then you know, what's my? God in my all defensive team. Let's go down, please Wanna tomorrow? Yeah. Yeah, I like him. He can play.
Starting point is 00:08:48 I like him. Avia. Yeah, Denny Avia, he been hooping. He been hooping too. So they got some talent on the roster for sure. They got some capable players, but I think Sharp just had to take that next league. I don't think Avia, I think Avia can be a good player,
Starting point is 00:09:01 but I just don't see him being a guy. But he a good piece on your team for sure. Most of it he can hoop. We got Robert Williams and you still got DeAndre Aiden as your big. So obviously someone. He's been hurt a lot too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Shout out to my Rob, Tom Lord. Yeah, that's my guy. DeAndre Aiden, y'all think he can turn around? Well, not say turn around, but can he be more consistent? He be playing good. He had a good year. He just was, got hurt.
Starting point is 00:09:22 15 to 10 ain't bad. And they still got the big guy from... I'm definitely rolling with that. The big guy from UConn. Yeah, Donovan Klingman off the bench, yeah. Yeah, I don't know how good he could be. All right, seven to seven off the bench. I ain't mad at that at all.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Yeah, ain't bad. Yeah, get that to about 10. Mm-hmm. They need a couple pieces, bro. How they do? They're gonna be sad, bro. I know, I'll let y'all do y do your NBA shit. That's tight They want really that bad at the second half of the season. I was one of the better things the West bro
Starting point is 00:09:51 They'd be lucky to be ABC. Oh, I mean Yeah for that group that's a Real help them get there the second half of the season. They wanted a better teams Yeah I think Drew will help them get there. The second half of the season, they're one of the better teams. Yeah, they're gonna say, yeah, they. Yeah, where they at last year? We went gas and then mushroom team was last place. At the bottom. They won 36 games.
Starting point is 00:10:15 They was tied with the Suns, and the Suns had a full process up here. You get Drew Drew get used to wins. No, but you gotta think they start off the year. They was poo. They got better at the end. That's a lot of teams you gotta defeat. I think it's.
Starting point is 00:10:27 The Mavs would be a lot better. Most definitely. They'll be better. They're still a piece or two away. They'll be better than the Kings. They legit two people away, y'all. You get a little, what are the Kings doing? What direction they have?
Starting point is 00:10:37 I understand Memphis. Bottom of the league. Suns gonna be better than the Blazers next year. No. Suns is gonna be trash. Oh, I have no faith in the Suns. I don't see you. Y'all hear it first.
Starting point is 00:10:47 No, I respect it. That's your hot take, bro. He got one series right. How he did. How many of your teams was in the Final Four? Damn. How many of your teams, just a question. Respect.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I played for the Timberwolves. Respect. I played for the Timberwolves. I know. Plus, it was a play for a king. They just sent me some gear and told me he was one of our favorites. The Timberwolves legend. They did too. Me and P was looking at it laughing. No, he can't, Mike. He can't.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Why he tight-wink for something? Wait, did I say the word? No, I can't talk about you. Awesome. Our FDL 690. Super test said no question or anything. Big love. Paul's from Australia.
Starting point is 00:11:30 But show. Appreciate you. Appreciate you. You watching this shit from Australia? My boy in a different time zone. So boy, go to bed. You're supposed to be sleeping. Now we appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:11:38 $31. King Americans will never. Rick 10 is who just said modern NBA versus NBA back then our players more likely to get hurt Just cuz of the pace of the game is that should the league shorten the season? Good question people being get hurt for forever Thomas Torres Achilles and 90 To
Starting point is 00:11:58 At some point you probably get hurt bro. That's just how this shit works Yeah, I've been seeing some of the conversations of people like well this they just play basketball or they play basketball so much they should do other sports. I mean, injuries are things that sometimes you can't prepare for, bro. Sometimes it just happens. Unfortunately, bro. I mean, a lot of people say that you're more likely to get injured if you do the same thing over and over and over and over. Yeah, like eventually a knee probably gonna give out if you do a pound.
Starting point is 00:12:22 It's gonna hurt eventually. Yeah. And that's why athletes get so much respect because your body realistically isn't meant to do this stuff. That's why you have to train to put yourself in this position, bro. Yeah, the whole dress play basketball is crazy. Bro, yeah, you don't play basketball the same way they do, bro.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I hate when people say that. Yeah, this is not your LA fitness stuff, bro. That's crazy. All right, can we scroll one more time? Speaking of the mask, man, Daniel Gaffer got paid, man, three years, $60 million extension, and he does not have the clause in there so he can be freed at any given time period.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Y'all think the Mavs gonna hold on to him or is that a good bargaining piece to moving the trade? I like it. No, I think they solidify, the NBA is in a transition right now. Okay. Remember we played small ball, we did all that small ball shit.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Lay in took that out the game now. Like Draymond Green guarding these seven footers. He was the last one. Nobody else can do that. And now they putting bigs back in the game. Obviously the bigs are way more skilled than previous years, but you gonna have to have some bigs
Starting point is 00:13:24 to be able to guard Jokic. Like Caruso did a good job, Jokic's gonna have a game plan for that next year. Like they're gonna have a four man that you cannot switch onto. Like they ain't gonna have MPJ or somebody out there, they're gonna have a big out there now. They play alongside Jokic.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Somebody that can also post up. They going back to a different style of basketball now. And it's kind of cool to see. And you can tell by the math, it's like we going to play Anthony Davis at the four. Lively five. Yeah, come on, Cusa. Switch on to this.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Yeah, and that was my question, because you know, they obviously still have Lively. You anticipate getting Cooper flag in there as well. So that's the case. You're starting to and your bench four or five is insane They like we gonna be the biggest team in the league the Celtics shooting 63s No, I bro size always win, bro. We that's great We taller than y'all we could post y'all up and bully on a glass. We probably won't win. Yeah, they own it.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Yeah. Even if you look from the Patriots standpoint, we play small. We had advantage with our guards was bigger than a guard. So in the sense, we are still bigger than them. But we play small. Mavs got to the final of that bullet ball and Luca and Kyrie. But still, man, the bigs are prevalent again. Man, for sure. Our men, little drew 77, the Super Chess, should the Patriots try to get
Starting point is 00:14:43 CP3 Westbrook, Schroeder, or get a young PG like maybe Rob Dillenham or just going to next season with the same team. I have no clue. They definitely need to get a point guard. I'm sure they will address that. I like Russ. I don't know if Russ fits this team
Starting point is 00:14:58 cause we already got a guard that can't shoot and push the ball. Schroeder would be great for us, but he's gonna probably stay in Detroit. That was a good fit for him. I'm not mad at getting a young PGS. See what's going on. I'm sure the Timberwolves ain't letting go of Rob Dillenhill. Yeah. I'm sure they not letting that go. He was in some of them trade talks.
Starting point is 00:15:14 I was about to say, are they gonna use him? He was in some of them trade talks. And in transition, we about to talk about KD, but did you see what the Wolves offered for KD? What? Man, Rudy, Dillenhill. There was a pick as well and who was other player? Yeah, yeah, they said no to that. Yeah Brandon wasn't in that trade. It was go bear I forgot who else was in there Dylan had more Taron Shannon picks and they said nah, cuz I obviously Katie didn't want to be there
Starting point is 00:15:39 He had to sign extension but and You couldn't if you know he ain't gonna be there. Man, he would've stayed with Ant, bro. No, you wouldn't. You messing up your business. That's a bad business decision.
Starting point is 00:15:55 If you know somebody don't wanna be there, bro, you trade away all of that, you green, bro. Not my young picks, but if you would've got, really go bearin' some other stuff, I mean, just countin' the salary, then go get what you want. But, speaking of the move, man, KD in Houston, how y'all feel about it? I like it
Starting point is 00:16:10 La la people thought they didn't give up as much as they could have obviously there's been some behind-the-door Conversations with Katie in Houston. He was why they win depending on how they use cam Whitmore. I Could like it he can kind of do what Jalen Green did if they let him Cuz they gonna need somebody else that can, KD gonna score, but they gonna need another punch, bro. Okay. If they let Ken with more hoop, I like it. And then Reed Sheppard,
Starting point is 00:16:31 if he get to take off a little bit this year, they young pieces get to explode, I'm gonna like it. But I don't know. Yeah. I've been seeing a lot of people saying they did too hard. And obviously they said they don't feel like they're done with what's going on in the market as well. They can still be aggressive
Starting point is 00:16:44 with some of the young talent They have Man, it won't be that good unless they get another score. I Like that like Thompson twin we're banking on him being like he gonna be the same kind of square He was like, yeah, I'm saying we banking on him finding his jump shot Yeah, if that's the case, we gonna be in trouble, but if he do find his jump shot, he's an all-star But I'm not gonna bank on that right now. They gonna miss that toughness aspect. Obviously the twin can guard but Dillon Brooks just brought,
Starting point is 00:17:13 I don't know what he brought, but he brought it. Bring chaos bro, he made it build up. Yeah. They gonna miss that the most. Take a lot of pressure off you too to play free basketball, play free defense, cause Dillon Brooks is a hell of a defender, big shot maker as well Yeah, they're definitely gonna miss him on that team
Starting point is 00:17:27 I thought that him leaving in that tray was probably I'm gonna say more important than Keeping sorry Easton or Jabar because I know they like to bar Smith a lot But Dylan Brooks is a big difference maker on that team because you could have had him next to Katie But you can still go get a two guard to help them score. Like you said, they definitely need that last team What's up with Jordan Clarkson? He get paid too much money? He too, that's too much. Yeah, they still don't pay us enough.
Starting point is 00:17:48 He don't fit that vibe. They already got Ken Whitmore. Ken Whitmore can do what he can do. Yeah, like he that kind of person. He gotta have a good year. I just feel like they the same team kind of, maybe a little better, cause it's KD, but not by much.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I think Jabari Smith, if Jabari Smith can be the player that everybody think he can be, he can, then he can eliminate them having the two guard. Cause I don't think he that good. I mean he good bro but. Don't start more. I don't bro, I mean he good.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Don't get me wrong but I just don't think he about to. My boy got hurt and came back and got to it. He did get hurt but he can shoot. He solid bro. He's a matchup nightmare. Now as you got Kevin Durant as your three and him as the four, obviously Kevin Durant gonna get the better defender.
Starting point is 00:18:33 True. He might be able to free up and get to it. And being around KD, his game might expand a little bit, you know, working with him every day, seeing him, similar size, got not the same movements, but capable movements. Maybe his game takes off. They'll be good, y'all. So basically they betting on the young guys right now.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I would, I mean, you bet on them last year. Like they got, like Reed Sheppard, he should play a lot this year. He should play a lot better. Yeah. You'll see a lot of Reed Sheppard backup minutes this year. Fred Van Fleet at the client, the team option, I think they're working towards a long-term deal
Starting point is 00:19:04 to keep him there on the team So they got a point guard second is an all-star at the five as well You look at some of the other players you got a tar Easton soft eventually get a nice Yeah, can't whip more off the bench who could probably get you some buckets They are gonna have to they gonna have a young bench for sure. They gotta play can't with mortise. They have to they have to What else they don't do they have to buy? I mean shot. They should have played last year and they What else they gonna do? They have to play. I mean, I thought they should've played last year
Starting point is 00:19:23 and they didn't. They gonna be cool. I mean, obviously, M.A. is a hell of a coach, so I think he got the talent to figure it out. I do think they need to get another two guard, like you said, some more scoring for that team would definitely take them to the next level, but early predictions, where would you project the Rockets
Starting point is 00:19:37 would be? Would that be a top four team with this KD trade? Yeah, they gonna be top four. I wouldn't even say another scorer. Let me say a shooter. Okay. Yeah, cause Sam Gunn gonna get 20. Yeah. KD gonna get shooter. Okay. Yeah, cuz I'm gonna get 20 Yeah, Katie gonna get 25 good job. They're gonna be good
Starting point is 00:19:48 They need another can't win working. Give me 15 off the bench six man time be 15, but they need another shooter like Katie can shoot obviously forever and fleek and shoot. Yeah It ain't even not your bar you can it's a capable three-point shooter. I think Reid will be a knockdown. Yeah but if If you put the ball in this is sound crazy you put the ball in the Thompson twin hand and let him kind of run Point yeah, cuz that's what he do. He kind of Then they seem a little different. I can see that action on some dream on him getting down He'll be there and then kicking out to cause Jabari can shoot, KD can shoot, Fred can shoot.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Then they a little different. And then you ain't gotta worry about him having to shoot. Yeah. Yeah, either you getting downhill or you making the pass. I mean, you can keep an opportunity to shoot. I like that. Y'all remember how Rondo used to play? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:39 I mean, obviously we know how Rondo played, but if he come down, initiate the offense, he try to attack, he don't got nothing, and he kick it and go to the dunker Different different team most definitely now for the Suns in this situation What they got going on man, they said possibly know I'm saying they don't move Jaden Green you're gonna go into the season with him and Devin Booker as a starting backcourt. That's nice Three of the same players
Starting point is 00:21:03 Well, my boy Bradley Beal is leaving, yo. They all is the same player, bro. They say that Bradley Beal is in trade and he most likely will be waived. So we're not expecting him to be in a party. I told y'all. Which I'm happy for him to be, bro. You need to get away from Phoenix, bro.
Starting point is 00:21:15 But the cards are yours, bro. Well, y'all funny. If you don't wanna leave, you don't deserve to, bro. I love it. Hey, listen, man, it's only a handful of people in the NBA who get to dictate where they wanna go. Hey, run it up, King. I hope Bradley Be Bill go to Detroit.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Mm. Me too. I like that. I really hope he go to Detroit. I hope Bradley Bill stays in Phoenix. No. I don't want to leave. That's not happening.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I told you, that's a wrap for that. I hope he get waved and go to Detroit. Tim McCade is firing the other Thompson Bull. Because he still got, he got some good basketball left, bro. Yeah, I hope he. He go to Detroit, he gonna, he'll turn the table back around bro. Obviously this is pure hypothetical.
Starting point is 00:21:50 What if he, you know what I'm saying, gets away from Phoenix and him goes to Rockets? After two. Nah. Nah. Nah. KD has hit the season now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Nah. Yeah, nah. KD ain't rocking with that one. And I laughed cause the Marcus Cousins said, you know what I'm saying, he talked to some people in locker room So they had a lot of issues fistfights and stuff going on and Katie came out said man. I know that stuff happened I really wonder like what the beef was in the locker room Paul's like who really did like each other cuz I don't think It was a star player that was obviously doing that but it had to be something
Starting point is 00:22:19 Think it was a star players Do y'all forget who came on the show and told us about how pissy the locker room was? No, that's true. Okay then. So yeah, it was way before this season, bro. I don't speak on. Get well soon to the suns, man. But I don't know what they're gonna do,
Starting point is 00:22:35 Devin Booker, man. He ain't say that was fighting, though. He just said he was fighting. He played disagreements, but. Yeah, it means it didn't get along. Yeah, that's different than scoring up now. You throwing hands, bro, bros a lot going on Do we feel bad for D book or he just get to be a son for life man?
Starting point is 00:22:48 No be a son for life D book You know who I feel bad for them and I'd said it's last year and you guys like my little that's my little homie, bro Tyres Jones. Yeah, cuz he had a I'm not I don't know if it's confirmed, but I remember Washington offered him a Deal it was like 10 a year maybe. I think. When he was in the Wizards and he was like, nah, I don't want to play that kind of basketball. I'ma bet on myself.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Boy, that's the worst bet you ever took. Cause God damn. Well, boy, once it's straight deflection. Man. Imagine leaving the Wizards and going somewhere worse. Worse, like how you go to the Wizards and get worse, bro. go to the Wizards and get worse, right? You get less money Applies to every situation in your life
Starting point is 00:23:38 Because he was in Washington as a store in point guard, I'm sure they offered him something more than a minimal When the Dallas to be him but speaking of the Wizards, shout out to Chris Milton, opt it in, get that bread, you know the vibes. Also they're looking to move on from Market Smart as well. So yeah, they got some pieces, man, that capacity. I forgot all about Market Smart. It's the Gulag, bro.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Chris Milton probably got like 40 million. Oh, he got 33. 33. Oh yeah, he ain't no leaving. We gonna rock out. I think Smarty, Smarty need to go back to the Celtics Hmm His contract is too big but he he only played good with the
Starting point is 00:24:19 Mean he was in good chance in Memphis though Memphis is kind of why he was hurt But you know how some people like, they powers leave. Like when I left Indiana, the powers was gone. Like Lance with the Pacers. Yeah, Lance with the, it just ain't the same vibe because everybody know you there. Like they know what you expect, like how you going to play.
Starting point is 00:24:42 He got to come back to the Celtics. Yeah, most times when people lead the Patriots, they get better, but in y'all cases, you know what I'm saying, the home time Panthers save y'all. I don't know who my first year, hold on, Minnesota. Smaraget, what about 20, 15, 20 years?
Starting point is 00:24:53 Yeah, he gotta wait till that run out, and then he need to go back to the Celtics. Nah, most definitely. Whenever that deal is up, I don't know when it's up. But once his deal is up, yeah. If he wanna keep hoopin', he only can play for the Celtics. For real.

Starting point is 00:27:48 podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. 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. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
Starting point is 00:28:34 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 iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our man back in the Super Chat with it, Mike D said, KD gonna be working with Jabbar and Amen. They're gonna be a problem. I could definitely see that man for sure. Good person to Nicholas Luciano and super chest is off-topic But trading for our pick in 2026 back during the finals looking like a good move. They put insurance on Halliburton Yeah, that was a good move for God. So what happened in the finals man? We got our pick back after we tried for passing up a we tried with the pelicans
Starting point is 00:29:18 But 20 to 25 pick for a 2026 pick in a player. So we got a pick back We tried it from Pascal so we back in the first round for consecutive years So we could definitely do something. I will pick you I pick in the player. So we got a pick back, we traded from Pascal. So we back in the first round for consecutive years. So we can definitely do something as well. All right, what pick y'all got in the first round? It's gonna be super low, but that next one boy, that 20-26 pick might be the one cause we might be Cheeks next year. So that was a good haul.
Starting point is 00:29:37 It don't matter about this year. I'm trying to think of a- 23? Yeah, 23 is a pick. Y'all got a 23rd pick. I'm trying to think is there any like Sleeper. Sleeper pick.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Y'all might be able to get the boy from Florida. Oh, this year? Yeah. No, we traded our 20, 25 pick. We had the 23rd pick this year. We traded for next year. Yeah, that's next year. That move was great because now
Starting point is 00:29:56 Y'all gonna be cheeks. Yeah, so now we gonna probably have a lottery pick. Oh yeah, y'all probably gonna end up getting Tahad Pettiford. Pull up. Pull up, I ain't mad at it. We got a lot of basketball to play before then, we shall see.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I ain't gonna win nothing, so Tahad gonna be a top 10 kid. Hey, Pantras gonna be okay. Hey, Kevin Pritchard I trust, bro. Every time it's getting shaky, my boys made a move. Pantras are going to be okay. They out east. They gonna be in at least a playoff or whatever, the little battle to get there.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yeah, unfortunately we don't ever really get to meet seasons where we're just completely trashed, so we'll be middle of pack with Ross. You know, this is what it feel like. You remember when PG got hurt? Mm-hmm. This is exactly what it feel like. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Different team. Nah, that was the same team. Nah, bro. It was a Percator for a year. The best player didn't get hurt. Pascale still got Pascale. They still had David West, they still had George Hill. They still had, they boys set out.
Starting point is 00:30:53 But Pascale better than them. I about to say they won the best player though. Yeah. Pascale. Yeah, I'm saying. Better than Halliburton. Yeah, Pascale's better. They gonna be. I'm a prime example of that game.
Starting point is 00:31:01 When Halliburton went out, Halliburton is what makes Pascale good. I'm not saying Pascale not fired, but for that team Halliburton went out, Halliburton is what makes Pascal good. I'm not saying Pascal's not fire, but for that team, Halliburton was make Pascal good. Pascal's gonna be Pascal, but for everybody else to play good, we need Tyrese. So without Tyrese, everybody's gonna be perfect. He's the engine for sure.
Starting point is 00:31:15 He's the engine. If y'all think him getting hurt is gonna put them at the bottom of the East, y'all crazy. The East is not that good, y'all. It might not put them at the bottom, but they gonna make a big ass team. East is not gonna be that hard, y'all. We're not really a good team without Tyrese. That's fine. Y'all not that good. They might not put them at the bottom, but they got big ass hits. We're not a really good team without Tyrese. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:31:28 When Tyrese was bad at the beginning of the year, the Pacers were ass. Horrible. Granted, there were other injuries as well, but when he was not good, we were terrible. When he got back playing again, that solved everything. Facts. He is the engine, bro. He make everybody better. I respect it. I respect it. You make everybody better. Give him a trophy or a engine bro. He make respect it. I respect it. Make everybody better. Give him a trophy or
Starting point is 00:31:46 statue regardless, but now you get now Nimhar get a chance to be the player that he was his bookie. If you bring in another decent guard that can hoop like how the Celtics just did with Anthony Simon. Y'all gonna be cool, bro. The place is like got that kind of money though. I was gonna say Matheran and Wallace should have the greens of greens next year to see what we Got I don't know what direction gonna go towards. I don't know what we're gonna do in the offseason They said quote-unquote we're gonna be aggressive. I know Rick Kralov was on the radio this morning
Starting point is 00:32:13 Shout out to my guy James saying that Miles Turner's signing is a priority. I don't know what the numbers are So if that's what direction we in bro, we gotta know what type of this. Oh the number dropped Shout to Miles you gonna get paid black man. Let us see it, but I don't know if he's gonna be a hundred mil drop Yeah, I don't think mouse turn buddy get a hundred million crazy. He gonna be at three years 90 Money, dry make about that make about sense Daniel Gaffer just got to your 60 Gaffer got through your 60. He gonna get through years 90 Respect shots a mouse hunter man for sure. All right, in the Super Chat, ACM075 says,
Starting point is 00:32:47 is the number zero cooked, Gildame, Holly Tatum, Tig with no cartilage. Damn. That's crazy. Good damn. I wouldn't expect the Jeff Jack in there like that. Why you put that number, why you put that up? That number is toast.
Starting point is 00:32:59 That is messed up. But it ain't even a number, because if you look at the Pacers roster, we bought two bigs at the beginning of the season, took kilos and then Tyrese east bro? It just sucks Straight is crazy The second move JD Davidson with JT out he should get a chance to play bro. He can who? Give a chance bro. I mean why not? I ain't about to be championship contender. They might though. They still got a chance
Starting point is 00:33:36 He got a beat out too many people though Fuck with Anthony Simon's bro Can't come off the bench for 15 minutes. That's a lot of minutes. You gotta beat out you gotta be Bro, play 82 game six minute year pay pressure 82. I understand what you saying move He'd need an injury. I always tell nobody but he need like Replacement Jason no, we got a quick replacement Okay, hey, you can always get a replacement
Starting point is 00:34:08 Jaylen Brown Crazy next year. Hey, no swings Anthony Simon's putting it up. Well, I'm proud is about to shoot everything Jalen Brown thinking I can win VP He's about to prove that he's about to ever started let's go dream scenario.

Yeah but Gil, was Gil a lot of? Nah he won first round though nigga was working out in Chuck Taylors. He was wild. He was supposed to be a first round pick.

Yeah, he was supposed to be a top 15 pick. Yeah, bro. That boy was second round. I'm not saying he did the same thing as us, of course.

Brandon W7 in the Super Chat says, who out of the last seven championships teams was the best team if they were to play against each other? That is a great question. We are going to go into a deep dive into that tomorrow
Starting point is 00:42:50 because we really want to break that down. That's a great question. But tomorrow we're going to definitely go through the last couple of championships and have a nice little tournament. See if we can get rid of who. Love the pop-ups. What's your ABA?

Starting point is 00:43:27 Who the fuck is Louis? What the fuck is that? All right, man, we weren't here to recap the finals, but obviously we know who got the dub, man. Thunder took care of business from 03 to 91. Let's talk about the aftermath for both of these teams, man. Shout out to Thunder Young team getting the chip. Do they have the potential to build the dynasty?
Starting point is 00:43:43 You know what I'm saying? They got to pay out, they dub, they got to pay check. They got a lot of draft capital too. But that's easy though. They can always keep them three. They can rotate anybody else with them. Obviously they need Caruso. They locked him in, but they could trade Caruso. Caruso a great trade piece. But having all them picks, I mean every year you can draft a young dude. And his money ain't gonna hit for four years. So for the next eight years, you can have Chet
Starting point is 00:44:13 and Jalen Williams, whatever. And you can just keep drafting young guys. Because they still young. Yeah, and just rotate them. Once another one get good, and they fourth year they ready for extension, go ahead and let him go We'll draft somebody else
Starting point is 00:44:27 Okay, you got Kason Wallace was a young player off the team who could basically feel Crusoe's role I forgot to got a nickel on top of she ain't even played a game yet in the wings He go get some burn next year for sure. They still got that one. What's the other tall last names over the G? Let's go to the roster. So we'll mess nobody's name up for the G. Let's go to the roster, so we don't mess nobody's name up. Smart ass GM, boy. Hey man, he validated now,
Starting point is 00:44:48 that can't say nothing about my boy got that chip. Like Isaiah Joe can be on the move. Yep. Jalen Williams can be on the move. Aaron Wiggins. Like the other Jalen Williams. With the why. Isaiah Hardenstein could be on the move.
Starting point is 00:45:02 You can all, like you can sub Isaiah Hardenstein out and put Jalen Williams in now. Hardenstein getting 90 million, whatever he getting. I know he was on a three year deal. So it is by the time they money kick in, he gonna be off the books anyway. Most definitely.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Yeah, so it don't even matter. And you can retool, like you say, you can take those picks and get Young Town and keep the triangle, or you know what I'm saying, flip dollars and get another player you need to win now too. It ain't even that though. Like you said, they can just keep rotating these young players.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Every, like what's the Jank? He ain't even touch the floor. He a capable player. And you can keep a lot of these dudes that ain't played for low prices. Like when they time Duke on. Mm-hmm. Like.
Starting point is 00:45:44 I ain't mad at him, man Like they could be a dynasty. I just don't think they, I think the NBA too. Yeah, I don't think they will. I think the NBA too wide open. Cause I think they're good, but going game seven with the Pacers, no offense to the Pacers, but like that don't show me that you dominant.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Thanks. Ain't nobody went back to back since what, Kobe? Not going state. Going state, going state, yeah. But like, I don't think, going game seven with the Pacers, they didn't look too promising to me. NBA too wide open right now, bro.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Ain't no dominant force out there. It's gonna be hard to beat them though. And too many. They gonna be good, but it just ain't guaranteed that they going back to back. And people are too willing to sell for a championship. Obviously we always know it doesn't work that way when they go all in, but too many GMs now like,
Starting point is 00:46:27 hey, if I can go build a team for two years, they'll do it. So maybe not one year, maybe the next year. But same shit we had last year, we thought the sales was gonna repeat. Obviously a lot of things have to go right for you to win a championship. But hey man, they got a young, capable team, man. And like you said, one of the best GMs in the game, man.
Starting point is 00:46:41 They'll be good for the next seven years. It's gonna be a quality team over there. I just don't think they'll win back to back. They might win another championship. I just don't think it'll be back to back either. Man, man, shout out to them, man. They went crazy hell of a year for OKC. For the Pacers, obviously we know that Tyrese Andrew
Starting point is 00:46:57 means the world to this franchise. We've talked about it a little bit, but, hey, my house cool. Then obviously you're gonna run it back, but what do you do with this team? Moog, what we doing, man? What we gotta do? We run it back. But what do you do with this team? Look what we doing man? What we got to do you run the back? I mean shit why not bro? Okay, we're gonna be a middle of the pack team I mean shit we can go pick up a Russell Westbrook or something a little point guard just to hold us over
Starting point is 00:47:16 We're gonna be a middle of the pack team. Mmm I'm trying to achieve this year. I'm trying to think of a Younger point guard or even a veteran point guard that's not as polarizing like you can't have Russell Westbrook. I love Russ bro he cannot come to you. I love Russ but I don't want Russ and TJ on the same team. Nah but I be seeing what Jeff be saying sometimes players be too big. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:41 CP I don't think CP coming here. Nah. But you can't have. What would you get? Westbrook would be great, but he just, you can't have him. The way they shoot threes, know what I'm saying? The way like Halliburton play, he's a three point pass first. The Pacers is used to like, we not shooting threes. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:48:00 It's a style of play. And Russ don't fit the Pacers style of play. Like off the bench he would Like he'll be great as a TJ McConnell type of guy come in and do his thing But as a starting point guard with Nimhar and him Yeah, Nimhar and Demba gonna really have to get the reins I think everybody's saying why where we should go get a guard I'm like, I think it's just got his time to just be a starter for next year Go crazy put Mather in the starting lineup. Got to. You have to.
Starting point is 00:48:25 If you don't start being Trey Hill. Cause it's unfair to him at this point. He gotta go crazy this year. Just let him ball out, bro. Let him average 20, 24. Cause he gonna average it up. But if they do it that way, what happens when Tyrese come back?
Starting point is 00:48:37 Shit. He don't need to overly shoot anyway. That ain't how you play. Yeah, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying them hard becomes the point. Them hard, you going back to where you was. And then what that mean for Ben? I just averaged 24.
Starting point is 00:48:47 He'll still start with Tyrese. So Naismith is out of there. No. Somebody's gonna try. If he averaged 24, somebody going to that bench. That's just flat out. Because I can't go back to the bench after I just averaged 24.
Starting point is 00:48:59 No, I'm gonna start. Yeah. So Nim Hart might have to go on the front. Then you got Siakam and the mouse turner. You start line up. If we didn't have Siakam in the mouse turner and you start line up. If we didn't have Siakam just paying him on a max deal we just started, I would feel like maybe they would go in a different direction, but if you're not gonna be
Starting point is 00:49:13 competitive this year, you might as well trade Siakam in. But we're not gonna trade him because we still got Tarvis in the wings. Yeah, I think they're gonna be competitive. I think they'll find a, I just, they do a great job of always finding a guard that we never think about. Like they always used to go get Darren Coulson out of nowhere.
Starting point is 00:49:29 You know what I mean? He'll be a quality guard and they'll be a good team. Every time you thought like the Pacers were cooked. They'll go, they might, you know, they found Malcolm Brogdon when he was here. They'll just go find some random guard that you're not really thinking of and he'll come here and have a good year
Starting point is 00:49:45 Corey Joseph you think them harder hold it down all your story. I think we'll get a chance to see I think that he's capable But they're gonna go for I swear they gonna find a random guard. We're not thinking They always cool pages Tireez hurt them for sure, but shit they went to the finals to the last game They don't be cool. They gon' be all right. And I hate to use what if scenarios, but that's something that's gon' haunt this
Starting point is 00:50:08 Wren Childs for a very long time period, because the way that Tyrese came out killing, bro, everybody felt like that was his moment to have. Oh my God, he's about to have a generation game, bro. But we don't know if that would've kept going. Nah, but this is gon' be- When you start like that, it normally do though. That's what's gon' make Tyrese's career
Starting point is 00:50:19 is already in the Hall of Fame, just because of that one moment. He gon' be- He gon' be, because now his story gotta be, it's like, yo. Nine to six minutes. We was about to win, I got hurt. He can say that for the rest of his life. I was about to win, I got hurt.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Everybody believe it too. Yeah, everybody feel that way. My boy need a mini doc. It was dope, you see the Netflix doc, they got all of them. Who? Netflix, the cast that they had last year was amazing. You had Jalen Brown, you had SGA, you got Ty Reese,
Starting point is 00:50:44 and I forgot who the other player is, but that was James Harden. But the Netflix doc next year, it immortalized him next year. Because even to know he came out today after surgery, he was just like, yeah, I knew the risk, but guess what, I do this shit again. Like, this shit sucks, but I do this shit again for my brothers for the city.
Starting point is 00:50:58 He's like, y'all deserve this, I'm sorry. I'm not y'all damn right. He stamped in the city forever. Reggie would never say that. Why? Never. Reggie would never say that. There? Reggie would never say that. There would be no more. Give my boy a statue.
Starting point is 00:51:08 If you hate that bro, you weird. I swear to God, loving Leonard to the core. I would not have played. I would have played. I played with no, I played with a tour. You definitely would have played. Especially game seven, you rocking out. I had a tear in my patella and played. Yeah, you would have played. game seven, you rocking out. You have to play. I had to tear my patella and play.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Yeah, you would have played. Cause if you don't play, it's a game. In round one. Damn. Nah, yeah, you love it. Later for sure, he said round one. Round one, I had to tear my patella. Lay off people playing, bro, in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Speaking of that, this is random, but we didn't talk about the KD trade. Did y'all see that the Cavs offered theirs growler for KD? Yeah, they know, I love DG, y'all know, man, he a little brother to us, he an anti-anikid. But hell, that injury, that shit, people don't care about that, they trying to win. Damn.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Damn, that would've been crazy. Yeah. I like KD with the calves. Bro. I do too. That look weird, seeing him in a calves uniform. Yeah. I ain't gonna lie, I would have really felt away if they would have had that record.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I would have felt away bro. Emo? They raw. I don't wanna see Kevin Durant in a Cavs jersey. Just cause that's brown town. Yeah, that's brown shit. Yeah, that's just nasty work for sure. Give well soon to the Pacers, man.
