So we're gonna start this one a little bit different. It is basketball related though, so bear with me. Grammy winning rapper, Megan Thee Stallion posted some vacation pictures online yesterday. What does that have to do with basketball you asked? Well let's take a look. So at first glance these are merely just some poolside vacation photos but the internet detectives got to zooming into the background.

Oh that's photoshopped. You see the light-skinned gentleman in the background his knees up reclining. Notice someone who looks a lot like four-time champion, Klay Thompson of the Dallas Mavs in the background. Sparky Dady rumor. Nah, that's Photoshopped, bro. Look at the toes. Check the ad-ups out for me. So do you believe that this is just a coincidence?

Nah. I see those shots, bro. Klay be having them, bro. I think I lost. Klay be having them, bro. The last one was the actor, the little actor song, Spider-Man or something like that. Clay be havin' him, bro. The last one was the actor, the little actor song, Spider-Man or something like that. Clay be havin' him.

Clay be havin' him. So do we believe? His quiet ass be gettin' him, bro. He be out. Can we go back to the other video, I mean, other picture? Just both pictures together? See that dead-dead?

I think you're not trying to look for Clay here, you're doing something. No, I'm talking about that left one, he ain't dead not trying to look for clay here you're doing so no Left when he ain't dead. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, let's start from the top again Palo if we can't please it he just came out though that that yeah that see so that that that first one see How long she been there she just she photoshopped herself Clay must have been there already. And then she seen him. You know, as you know, photoshoots can take a little while

when T-Mac is not there to speed things up. Shit, that's not a... I mean, it's a good picture to be in. Man, that's what I'm saying. Not a bad picture to be in. I'm going, hey, I'll hit him. You know that's me in the background. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shit. All right. 100% if it is or if it ain't whoever it is, it's not a bad place to be. Yeah. Right? It's not a bad place. I know he sitting there like, yeah, that's

what I'm talking about over there. Internet, obviously, play at Splash Brother. Internet was calling him a Smash Brother as well. That's not my words. That is the internet. I didn't do with it. Listen. I'm a vessel.

One thing he ain't going to do is deny any of this. This'm a vessel. One thing he ain't gonna do is deny any of this. This is a good, this is sexy red, maybe. Like, yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey. I heard that, I heard that. That came over, just, one night I get it. I just got out here.

I'm gonna send my location from yesterday, man. This is where I am, this is where I'm at. Right now. This is a family vacation. I'm in the middle of the ocean. I'm going to get covered in red and pass midnight to him. If it is Clay, it just appears he was trying to live his best life, chill by the pool. Here he is getting all this attention, especially on Gilded Rainer presented by Underdog Woo Woo. So how annoyed would you be if you were Clay Thompson right now?

Or would you be annoyed at all? Would you not mind the scrutiny and attention that you're getting from the internet right now for allegedly popping up in the back of Megan Thee Stallion's pic? Well, if you didn't want to be in it, for one, you know they're taking pictures. Like, she's put a move. Somebody's taking the picture. So she ain't over taking that bitch by herself. So, you know, you sitting behind, you know you sitting there.

So if you didn't want to be in it, you did a horrible job. It wasn't to be in it. Let's just see, let's go mess up some relationships. She got a man, clay in the back. And I'm just saying the internet think it's him. That's one thing. And if he got a girl, you're gonna make a salient picture.

That's gonna be a problem. Most likely, make us way more popular than you are. Probably look better. So, let's- That insecurity gonna kick in. Let's shift this forward, right? You about to go to jail. Just saying, it's gonna kick in.

She going to jail. Yeah, stupid. So, all you gentlemen have experienced dating famous people?

Then you gotta play along. That money kick in the ass. How you doing? Let's get into some actual basketball. I do appreciate the conversation. We got some news out of Phoenix. We got some more news. What happened?

Let's get to that news. That little money can wait. That little money can wait. Oh, Jalen Williams. That little money can wait. Hold on. We are live. That little money can wait. Jalen Williams. Hold on.

I was got to make sure it's really not, you know, you got some some pump fake. This is real ladies and gentlemen. We got some breaking news from Shams Turani just broke 50 seconds ago. Yo. Oklahoma City Thunder all NBA star, Jalen Williams agreed to a five year max

rookie contract extension that could reach $287 million. They just Bill Dusty and Justin Haynes of WME basketball team. Got his bread ladies and gentlemen. SGA Chad, Jalen Williams, all big bread. SJ got the 285. I believe Chad can get up to 250. Jalen Williams can get up to 287.

Who gonna pay for all this shit? Another owner can put something on it. Another owner when I trade him. Who gonna pay for all of this? She got him for another season. That's the best part about it. It don't kick in. It don't kick in on my dollar. We talked about this yesterday with the chat news.

They said there was momentum with Jalen Williams. Apparently there was a lot of momentum. Got his deal done a day later. Okay, see, championship window. They got these dudes all locked up, I believe for five more years. Nobody took a pay cut, huh? Nobody? One of you others.

I'm sorry. They got the ring first, man. Get your money, man. Get your money. Oh, man. Damn. I mean obviously they got to. We're on the topic right?

So I'm reading, so we talking about this shit yesterday right? And this is funny how people interpret shit that we say. Or how they want to interpret it. Like how they want to. How they want to interpret it. Like that shit is amazing dog. Like I'm just going through it like,

you know how many people said I was hating yesterday Other people's like what did he ask the question? Mm-hmm, but other people like he only asked the question He didn't say he didn't deserve it. Like he just just asked the question. Hey, that's what 15 and 8 get you 250 That's all I asked You can literally say y'all and he somehow turned y'all into you city. Check got 250? Check got 250 yesterday. Up to 250.

Wait, wait, check got 250 today? Yeah, everybody signed Mac. Yeah. Damn, I didn't hear about check. Yeah, yesterday. So, generally was less. Yeah. Shit.

Damn. He got the same amount as this year. So we've talked about the Thunder now extending their championship window potentially being the next dynasty in the NBA. Do you guys feel like by locking up this big three-core the Thunder have given themselves at least an opportunity to win one more championship during this four to five-year window? Yeah. They still dealing with the...

Realistically, how long can they actually stay together with this new CBA? Well, this year, no, he just proved he wasn't to pay. Whatever the owner did, whatever the owner, whatever this, he just proved he wasn't to go over. So they can keep that big three chord. They're gonna have to move some other pieces around, but not those three. They can keep the big three together. So what's Hardenstein? How many more Hardenstein got? I believe two more years I believe, but let me double check.

So yeah, so they got how many more? I want Hardenstein, Dort. How long is this new CBA deal for? So Hardenstein has a team option after this season for 26, 27. So he's gonna play next year. So you're gonna play next year, then team option.

So they money don't kick in next year. Lew Dort has a team option, 26, 27 as well. He gonna take a pay cut. Caruso signed through 28, 29. He good. Chad obviously threw 29, 30. He good. If not more.

How about then? So next year, none of this money affects anybody. No. So they're good next year. It's that. The following year. They're at like 186 right now. Yeah, but they good.

But that following year is when they have to think. No. But they got guys on team options, like, you know what I'm saying, like... Team options, they can boom boom. Yeah, they can read... But they're gonna have to cut those teams options. Cut those teams options, go back in, do the two-four. How dudes doing out of two-four.

So those guys gotta take a pick-up. Yeah, that's the way it goes. Or just take the cut. That's how it's been. Or go somewhere else. If you want to win, you take the cut cut there or you go get your money, right? So if they win another one within this time frame and deuces out of it Yeah, damn sure they got a bunch of guys on rookie deals that some of those guys have a mop

She's coming to Joe and all them. Yeah Got case and Wallace What they did I'm saying he's still cheap. And they just had the 12th pick in the draft. They just had the fucking 12th pick. Yeah. They got Sorber at 15th out of Georgetown. They deferred one of their picks.

They traded the 24th pick. Neat Clifford. So yeah, they fucking listed. They got a 20-27. Still got some Clippers picks. Still got some Swaps left. They have good problems with Marlowe. You just won a championship,

got the number one pick James Worthy. Yeah, so that's what I'm talking about. But that's where you got the staff in a room where you can't trade consecutive draft picks. You can't trade consecutive first round because of that James Worthy deal, because he gave up the number one pick. So they're in a good place moving forward, I think,

because we stated, because of NIL, these kids staying in school longer. So now they're getting able to draft when they are drafting these kids now, Oklahoma City that is, you're getting a 24, 25 year old dude that you can just, he's ready to play. So they picked that 24? I'm just saying, but moving forward, right? Just in case these mother dudes leaving, you can plug guys in that know how to play already because they fucking old now.

So, because you're not gonna go out and get a 19 year old to put in these, with, I don't think with these guys, once you get to start winning, you're gonna do what Golden State did. You're gonna add the Iguodalas and all these other pieces that know how to play already. Yeah, because all their, I mean, depending on if all their picks in the lottery.

And you get, just first round, it don't matter at that point. Yeah. If you got three championships, you pick a guy at 25, 26, whatever the pick is, for the last pick in the first round, he's going to be somebody that's decent. They didn't play them, mother. Remember the Warriors got the three pick. They didn't play them.

It's fucked up. It's, good problems to have, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, great problems to have ladies and gentlemen. Okay Steve. Good problems to have. Just to answer your CBA question, it's through the 29-30 season, but they can opt out after 28-29.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but no. Okay. Yeah, not the shit on Devin Booker's money, but by any means. Wait, Devin Booker's what? He got 80, right? We'll talk about that in a second. 80 a year, right? Yeah, 80 a year. 72, I think, right? Yeah, not the shit on his extension by any means, but Devin Booker. He got 80 right? He's talking about that in a second. 80 a year right? Yeah, 80.

72 I think. You're not the shit on his extension by any means, but yeah, I just thought. It's only two years though right? Coming up what we talking about yesterday. That's one of those moments where we're quick to the punch on LA German within 50 seconds of Sean Sweetie.

We had that news after we appreciate it. So let's get to the other. He's shitting on Phoenix. No that's not all. Devin Booker over here No, that's three years. That's three years. Are they going to keep their foot on the gas? Who?

The Dutchman. Good background. Let's move over to Phoenix now, but congrats Jalen Williams. Great season. They got their version, not saying they're exactly like but the MJ and Scottie duo they have the modern version. Don't do that. Modern version.

See you see now you're triggering me. You're triggering me because you just did it. I didn't do anything. What did you just say? The MJ and what? Scottie. Okay, so now you. I didn't say Batman or Robin. No. No you said what? Hmm

It's at the modern day the modern day. It's a modern version when they said that shit back in 2000 That what's the name? Everybody got mad at me because I reminded them what they said. I Didn't trigger you get triggered your all one two combos was the same This is who they refer to it was the gold standard in the gold standard and that's what everybody did They act like I just make the shit up Another don't do that. Don't do that. Don't make him pipping So is that one a and one B? Because six years from now you don't want people to go back to pretend that he was an option to

But I feel like his ring council as much as the SGA's ring. They all have the same. Yeah, yeah Okay, see they let James walk What's so funny is that he was part of the big three, but he came off the bench and they thought they can. And they picked out smart James. But they didn't think he was going to become that. They picked him by the way. No, no, no. They thought that.

He was really good, but I don't think they would. Okay, so back then, remember six, so the number one six man was basically Janobili. So basically anybody who got, you know, was in that role, they got handicapped under Janobly. So that's what they thought they could do. So, no, no, no, we'll pay Ibaka, get him money, and then we can, you know, pay James.

And Houston's like, and Houston's like, we'll take it. We'll take it. We'll take it. I dig it. I dig it. So, because they could have been, now, they could have been the golden state man.

They could have been, man, absolutely. They would have been giving people a gig been They could have been the golden man They would have been given people they should have been golden state. Yeah couple million dollars prevented that from happening So how many more titles will the Thunder win? We asked to chat? With this core we gave them the option of one two or three plus We did not have zeros an option I just want to point that out But 62% of the chat thinks the Thunder can win at least one more titles 30% says they can win two 8% of the chat thinks they can can win at least one more title. 30% says they can win two. 8% of the chat thinks they can win three plus, which would make them a dynasty.

But a lot of other teams in the league have some things to say about that. But let's get to some news out of Phoenix. Suns made a significant financial commitment to their franchise player, Devin Booker. Let's take a look. They're signing him to a two- year, $145 million max extension that will keep him with the franchise through the 2029-2030 season. The annual salary of Booker's extension, $72.5 million,

surpassed the deal recently signed by SGA, who was at $71.25 million, as the largest annual value in league history. So with the extension included, the Suns now owe D-Book16 million dollars over the next five seasons from a 72 point game honestly not one life-spanning person I hear the 145 but they said they owe him still. Three what? Three sixty? That's crazy. Three hundred sixty million dollars? Three hundred sixty million.

I don't give a fuck who you add with me. Just make sure that chick get down the fucking couch. Damn. Make sure he don't ask to go nowhere. Hey, let's make sure he don't ask to go nowhere because Lord that's okay. Get your money. Like I said extension included Sun's Not OD book 316 million over the next five seasons so Bookers played his entire 10-year career in Phoenix after being drafted 13th overall by the Suns back in 2015

so reactions to the news. Book retweeted himself from 2015 when he first landed in Phoenix back then he said Excited to say that I just touched down in Phoenix. Let's get to work as son. That's from June 26 2015 Quote we did that it said Let's go Let's go. So What's the significance of the son's financial commitment to Devin Booker? Like we said five more years, $316 million. Oh to this man. Had the highest payroll in the league last season. I think we'll be in the second apron again this season unless some moves are made.

Did not make the playoffs, okay. It's either he asks to leave or they just gonna make sure he don't ask to leave. One of the two. One of them. But hey, get your money young man. God damn. Get your money. That's paper. So, ain't they gonna get rid of Bill? Uh cool. They're reporting to the room. They gotta get rid of Bill. You think he care? He don't care. You need to do something, bro. That man said, let's go to himself.

Re-tweeted himself. Let's go, Booker. So what did you do though? What? Collect them checks? You just know, but. but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but He's been in the O6 Kobe for the last 10 years. What you talking about? That's been his team the whole time. No, I'm just talking about getting numbers like the numbers. Because they're not going to do nothing else.

So you should be trying to average like 30, 40, like 40 shit. They made some moves. In that KD trade, they got some pieces. What did they get? Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks. Tenth overall pick. But let's talk book first, and we'll get to that. Here are some of Devon Booker's ranks in Sun's history,

courtesy of Staten News. Let's take a look. Been there since 2013, first in points, fourth in assists, first in threes, third in playoff points, second in playoff threes. When you look at that, is Book on the brink of being the greatest player in Sun's franchise history, is he already accomplished that in your opinion?

He already accomplished it. Do you need to get an MVP? No. He said first, second, third and fourth. A lot of them guys only played three years. I don't know why he fourth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Since, I'ma should be like 12th.

Mm-hmm. And had no help. Who you pat? Who got that Steve, I mean, who's Kevin Johnson or Steve Nash? Nash or Johnson. Think about it. How long was Steve Nash playing Phoenix? For Arizonans, we'll probably say Tom Chambers, but.

Steve Nash. Just off the stream. How long were Murray and Steve Nash playing Phoenix? Steve Nash, two of'll probably say Tom Chambers, but. Steve Nash. Just off the strength. How long were Murray and Steve Nash playing? Steve Nash, two MVP's. Like four years. That's what I'm saying. He should be number one. Oh, like 10 years.

2013. Charles Barkley played there, what, two, three years? That's what I'm saying. Steve Nash number one. And the sis, he's number one. It's 2015. Stamped it. Easy.

Nah, he gotta get an MVP. You don't have to. You gotta get an MVP. The person who got you gotta get MVP you don't have to you gotta get person who got one oh you don't yeah that's the best I got best at the best player in this franchise history he got two MVPs and y'all thought you say every piece is one by a gil standards why you keep saying my standards ain't my standards I don't sue my every P ABP one points is what? That's the NBA standards. How they vote. I ain't saying don't, that's the problem. Well by the NBA.

By the media how they voted, that's their standard. It's two of them. You got two of them. I get it, yeah I get it. So, until we get ABP, got it. Does he got $316 million coming? Well sometimes longevity always. Short Jeopardy.

That does make sense. We're talking about greatest of all time, whether it's the end of the year or the sun. Longevity does play a factor. Oh, short Jeopardy. Short Jeopardy. I'm telling people, saying my criteria. I never gave no criteria. The media's criteria. But I googled and studied. Hey, we need to come up with a Gills dictionary.

Short Jeopardy. Short Jeopardy, man. That definitely needs to be in there. Please put it together. We need to start putting that shit up. Absolutely. Hussein Bote's still my favorite. Please put it together. We need to start putting that shit up. Absolutely. Hussein Bote's still my favorite. So Steve Nash just won? They had two MVPs during this time with the Phoenix? NBA, we got all-NBAs, all-stars.

Ah yeah. Devin Booker ain't got a bunch of all MBAs over there Right someone in the chest that in their opinion Kevin Johnson was a better son. Well, yeah It it's still Yeah, I don't I don't think Devin Booker because he's always complaining not him not him personally But his name is always a part of getting screwed for all-stars Yeah, you got four all-star to all MBAs. That's good. Yeah enough. He ain't even highest annual average salary coming We're in Phoenix Who is in top five?

Phoenix Suns. Yeah, there's four all-stars. We're you two all in BA. Okay, but who you talking about? Devin Booker, so who else who else we just put on that list? Big Suns? Come on over. There's four All Stars and two All NBAs. Okay. But who are you talking about, Red? Devin Booker. So who else? Who else did you just put on that list? Steve Nivenash. Steve Nivenash. Maury.

Most points in franchise history, fourth in the series. I got that, I got that. But a Maury is one, two, three, four, five time All Star, one, two, three, four-time all-NBA player in that jersey. Chambers, I'm pretty sure. It is Arizona here. Looks good over there. So he's gonna get a boost.

Oh no, he got three-time all-star, one, two, two-time all-NBA. Steve Nash, Charles Barkley. Let me see what Charles did over there. I don't remember doing much of shit, but. I'm just laughing. One, two, three, four. He got four All-Stars, one MVP.

One, two, three, four, five All-MBAs. Oh, yes. Come on, man. Five All-MBAs, five All-Stars, and MVP. 34. And then Sean Marion. Yeah. Sean Marion, one, two, three, four all-stars. One, two all-MBAs.

Hey, KD. So he's sitting there with three, four? Three, four, four. You know, Kevin Johnson? Yeah. Three, four. Yeah, Kevin Johnson. Yeah It's crazy Doing that I got no you got the it. I'm giving him respect the least Like Kevin the red cut wait, come on. He got two all see got two all-stars and one all-in-one all-in-one I don't think he qualified this year and play 62 games this year

But likely would have been all in the selection had he hit the 65 game threshold Let's talk about what Devin Booker can expect moving forward So since reaching the finals in 2021 Phoenix Phoenix hasn't advanced past the second round, including a first round sweep by the Wolves. Two seasons ago, missed the playoffs entirely this past season, despite having the highest payroll in NBA history. So Devin Booker's been with the Sun since 2015.

Like we pointed out, will be playing for his eighth different head coach this season. He reminds me of, what's his name? Who came at me? Who came at you? what's his name, who came at me? Who came at you? What's his name over there? Eddie Johnson? Eddie Johnson.

That's why he fucks with Devin Booker like that in that team. Because he had about seven coaches in eight years. Does the name spank you Johnson meaning it? I see it. So I see how he feels. So does this Booker extension put any extra pressure on the Suns to put a winning roster around him? Or is it?

It is what it is. Brother, what did you just say? They haven't Booker's played. How many years they? I've been there since 2015. Ten years. How many coaches does he have? This will be his eighth different head coach.

This is. And Eddie Johnson said, what about that situation over there? Let me Let me see what he had to say about you go. Hold on. I Will hope would think it was it's them to have eight coaches in ten years So Eddie Johnson came to through directly you said Gilbert Arena's resume 31 playoff game swept in second round of only second round He got to perennial loser on teams He played on failed as a leader in only organization that believed in him It's not the one to go all in hardcore

on what the Suns are as an organization. So Gil, you had some harsh criticism for the Suns. You said that KD, Bill, and Booker will all be gone in the next two years. You also called the Suns a bottom feeding team that sells hope to their fans. This was during your appearance on first take. But context, Suns are one of 10 teams

that have never won a chip. Reached the finals three times in 67 years. Or 57 years, excuse me. Made the playoffs four times since 2010. And then had eight coaches in ten years. Is that the most coaches from one franchise in the last ten years? Well, they up there. They are fucking up there.

Okay. So we both telling the truth. They are fucking up there. Okay. So we both telling the truth. Both telling the truth, okay. All right, Touche, Touche. Touche, okay. I don't know any job. Will this Booker extension put any extra pressure on the signs of putting window glass around him?

You think no, they're just gonna do what they do. You just had Kevin Durant on your team. What other motherfuck can you go out and give you a better chance to fucking win other than him? They just be picking motherfuckers. So what you think the answer to that question is Joe Psy? Okay, as a host, I'm only allowed to ask the questions, not answer them. No, they. Help to the no, no, no would be.

I mean, at this point for the next 10 years, I mean, if they get six coaches, they did a lot better. What the fuck? That's your proof? Should seven. Seven less than eight. Anything less than eight. Anything less than eight over the next 10 years,

they're in a good place. Damn. Like, I mean, literally, how are you supposed to win? That's what we were talking about yesterday. Yeah, how are you really supposed to win? Eight coaches in 10 years. Yeah. But they just get, they don't get players that fit.

They just be picking. They don't get coaches that fit. They have more coaches. I agree, man. I agree, man. But they got more coaches. They have big free agents. See, this is how shit go, right? I agree man, I agree man, but they have big free agents.

Like they just how it should go, right? You just think overall, right? The job that James Jones there like we would consider good. It was all right. Yeah, it was decent. Decent? You got to get me there. Getting players there? Getting, well, okay, which side? You got what? get players there

Getting well, okay, which side coach inside? It's the whole thing. It's all okay all together all together Did they go to the finals under him? Hmm. No. Yeah. Okay, you made it to the final didn't win it But overall, what would you But overall, what would you? Overall, Tyson Chandler, I mean, you're talking about, so how long did James Jones have that job as a gym? About eight, about eight years, right? I don't know.

Eight years, right? Probably C minus, maybe. So you go from. 2019 was team general manager. He got the interim tag. So moving. 2019 to now. He became official.

Official 2019 to now. 2018 he was named the interim general manager. 2019 he got that tag. So he's been. For six years. Seven years. 45, 46. So seven years, how many coaches?

So he didn't pick 20. So it's 20 ATL. That's what I mean. So it's five head coaches. I don't know. Let me work with you. Bradley, Bill, Deal. One, two, three, four.

So this would be the fifth head coach. So the fifth head coach. So that's the job that you've done, right? And you get a better job It's hard shit, it's fucking crazy dog I'm feeling me better than I know it went to the league replace your job at Joe do more said at the league He's left the Sun's now in the NBA executive player of. NBA executive player of the sum shit and yes, dog. Did a better job.

Didn't the one he had. Because you can't get fire from him. Yeah, so that's it. So. NBA executive vice president and head of basketball operations, replacing Joe Dumars, as Kenyon said, who is now running the Pelicans. So.

So this is my thing. Giving away unprotected pitch. Like shit is crazy, dog. You, in real, in retrospect, you wasn't successful. Like, okay, you brought Kevin Durant there, you made it to one finals, it didn't work out. You signed the Bradley Bill thing, people thought you was out of your mind.

You're five head coaches. Got nerfed. Got, it's, what else? You ain't did nothing? Yeah, I mean, nah, nah. Nothing to be rewarded a better situation. So you say a bunch of hope. Wow, okay.

You don't think that's nothing? I'm just, bro. You just saw your face and hope, okay. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm with you. Okay. I'm with you. Take it.

That's a lot, shit. Took okay, see what, how long to get back there It's under the same gym He knew he was doing it. I mean hate the shit on the black man to form a player, but Like if he made like what's the fun is now. That's not, that's like a. If they did, if those moves actually panned out.

Yeah. That motherfucker executive of the year. He's a hero because. I would be praising him. It was so, it was so aggressive. Like those are aggressive moves. They just keep working the spade. I would be praising him in the same.

Did he get, when did it? Yeah, he broke in Chris Paul. That was a good move. But that's what I'm saying. It started off good. When he first got there, them, Chris Paul, That was a good move. That's what I'm saying. It's it started off good when he first got there. Them Chris Paul, they went to the championship. It started off like, oh, man, you're fucking smart. All right. You smart.

Now turn the page. Oh, that's the math part. Fuck S.A.T. shit. Cut this new tab. cut that next tab open. We see you readin' right well, man. You can do that thing. Cut this next tab open. But, I ain't so shit.

KDN book's supposed to work, bro. It's supposed to. It's supposed to work, bro. You add Bill, it's that shit be gold. Yeah, come on, man. I mean, it's. So, let's talk about the current state of the suns. Supposed to work. You had Bill is that's So let's talk about the current state of the Suns We talked about the rocket side of the KD trade at length. Let's break down the Sun side of the trade It was a 17 trade

They got solid pieces of Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks 10th pick in the 2025 drop pieces of Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. 10th pick in the 2025 draft. Kamen, Molly, Malawak, Kamon Malawak out of Duke. I'm working on my African. Come on Malawak. The Duke kid? Duke kid. 10th overall pick. We saw the Rich Paul video.

I give to you a 10. I got two second round picks this season in Rashir Flemming was number 31 overall. Kobe Bray was number 41 overall. Daquan Pauden and two future second round picks. Do you like what the Suns got in the KD trade? Man do they like what they got As fans of basketball so I got Brooks Greens green now you have Green, Book, and Bradley Beal.

Common Malawak. That's what I'm saying. At the 1, 2, 3, so you're a lot smaller at the 1, 2, 3. So who's still playing what? They gotta get everything. So Muscle, you got the same problem you had. Who just signed a chain? Book, where you wanna play?

The other two just moved where you were. Yeah? Yeah, the other two are just move where you There's reports that Bradley bill get bought out to be happy to be book at the one Jada to two Brooks at the three. Yeah, that's where they have to be and the big fella It's I mean it's more functional for Booker. Are they gonna win games? It's the West. Yeah, it is the West. Oh man, I mean, you know, I mean he's 28, man, so

You know, he got a couple more years with this group to see where it's at, right? You can still, I mean at 28 you still, what, four, five more? I mean, shit, these niggas playing like 38 now. He's still... Nah, not Littles. Huh? Littles? Oh, oh. Yeah, KD.

I mean, um... He might have one more max contract, you know? He's 28. That's what I'm saying but this deal will be through 2030 be 33 on that you know I got that one 33 at the end of this if he keeps it there but he didn't probably to issue a 31 32 here before probably under the 437 he can yeah he can squeeze out another 600 God is good I know the way they already want three.

By the time he done, he gonna be part owner. So Sun's currently second apron. So according to reports, they're working with Bill on a buyout. They need him to come down a little bit on that bread. It'll get them underneath the second apron. If he does, he'll still get something around like $94 million. Oh my God. So they need him to go down for them to get under.

I'm gonna say oh. I need a jet. Huh? I need a jet. I need a couple houses. A jet and a boat. You know obviously you scared of this because of what? It fucks up your franchise. It fucks up business huh? But hey I think they're over on 111 million for the next and he need to get under how much I need to get it To run like 94 90 20 million dollar pay cut around or about yeah, so I need 20 million dollars Houses planes cars yeah Get the 90 million. You want you to get, so you got another number in mind. What you doing to me?

Let's talk. Nigga might even be greedy. I need 30 million dollars worth of shit out here. What's that? What is it? Tell me no. Say it. Say it.

Now that's the leverage you have. I dare you to say that. And reports are, if Bill does get bought out of Greece with that buyout, he would be heading to the Clippers, Clippers the front runners to land him. Are you going on motherfuckers? Well your bomber has breath to go Oh, no, fuck you do. Yeah Take it that's when he back Okay, now okay, here's a question, but here's a question If you're the owner, businessman,

and he came at you like that, I needed you to take $20 million off of our cap so we can get under this. And he comes back, say, all right, cool, I need $30 million in assets around Phoenix. Do you do it? How much am I gonna save by doing that? I think if I give you that 30, just hypothetically,

I'm not a rich white man, so I'm not 100% sure, but if I give you that 30, first of all, it'll be in luxury tax payments. It seems like I may be able to save. So just using that logic, putting myself in that position, if I could save some bread by doing that then of course I would do it. Because you gonna save some bread? You save bread by the keep?

Because that ain't dollar for dollar. That 30's not dollar for dollar on the streets. That 30's for dollar on the street not NBA dollars. That 25 feet 40. NBA dollars that one dollar like five. Yeah. That ain't the same money that you're dealing with. Nah.

Oh, this is. It's like prison dollars. NBA dollars like prison dollars. Like this pack of noodles that you can go and get for a dollar 13 up here. The motherfucker, seven dollars in the pen, nigga. Seven dollars on some ass. Bought a lotion, 15 dollars.

Bought a lotion, 15 dollars. Yeah, yeah, them prison prices. Yeah. Yeah them prison prices Absolutely Snickers $6. Oh, yeah Should I need I need I need to go ahead be here's Louis real quick When I see some leverage boy, you better use that leverage Cuz I'm there yeah you yeah, yeah, you, yeah. This is a leverage.

This is way better than a no trade clause. I need to yacht pay it off. Gilgosia. I mean, the no trade clause actually helps it. That's what I mean. So therefore you want me to do this. Yeah, you want me to do this. That's what I know.

I think buyout gets rid of that no trade clause. So this is a decision. No, no, but that's what I'm saying No, but my point is I have all the leverage He's getting bought out for hundreds of millions now, that's crazy That's the good luck He probably ain't even woke up yet with this kind of He probably on vacation

Taking his time We will monitor the situation as we always do. Hold your pockets all summer long. Oh my God, they get desperate all summer. They just spend more money too. When does it kick in? When does this have to be off the books? I'm not sure when they have this.

There is a date. I'm waiting till the last hour. That's how they do. There is a date. I'm waiting till the last hour. That's how they do. So, uh... What did you say? August 31st, I believe. August 31st? August 30th. That beat in like...did I say 20? Oh my God.

I thought I said sorry. Did I say 20? Oh my God. I thought I said 40. I thought I said 40. Why does 40 sound a lot better than 20? You get 30? You're gonna have to shoot me. Yeah. They're gonna pay you though, if they did that. That's what they gonna have to do.

I've never seen. If they, if you serious about getting those, but they gotta do whatever they say. They gotta do it because This money that you're gonna pay that we're negotiating off Is not it's not that bad compared to this second tier that's gonna handicap the franchise for a long time Whoo because you got a Peter they like it shit. They ain't like it's loan. It's going somewhere.

It's like that Cassie phone call. I'm just saying, don't say no. No, don't do the Diddy. You better say, OK. OK, yes. So get her to check. Don't think you got some balls here. Say no, god damn it.

That no going to get you in trouble. I don't know no, God damn it, that no gonna get you in trouble. I don't know how we got to. That no gonna get you in trouble. It seems like it always comes back to Diddy for some reason. No, I'm just saying, you know, they called you first. I didn't build him, I have him, I still have him. I know, that's the only part. Papa!

All right, well let's keep this thing moving. He'll pass from a heart attack. Walk down the street. Yeah, they didn't even care. They ain't no did that. They still gotta give the bread though. They got a mouse spider that killed them. Mouse spider and phoenix.

Steve, Steve got stunned by a bee and was allergic. Did you say a polar bear? What the fuck? No, no, I'm not saying that shit. Somebody in the neighborhood, somebody in our neighborhood, they died from spider bite. Spider bites can be very dangerous. I'm not from California. You can just drop a spider.

On that note, let's move on to some other basketball discourse. De'Andre Aiden, the newest Laker. Fans of the team such as Gill and myself, thrilled have him on the roster the next great Laker center Shaq, Kareem, Will, Deandre Aiden in that mix. So recently an interview with Sadano and Kaplan on ESPN LA radio Aiden was asked if he's received calls from Luca and LeBron since signing with the Purple and Gold. Hey De'Andre, have you spoken to LeBron? Have you spoken to Luca? Not really yet, but I've definitely got a text from Luca.

I know how the off season goes. You know, this is not my first row, you know, people are probably busy and you know, training and having time with their families, but I'm just waiting. I'm just really just trying to integrate myself with the team and get to know everybody So is it a big deal that Aiden hasn't heard from LeBron yet? Brother that's the second spot right now, okay

Yeah, I don't like what you seen you wait, I'm just saying man This is this is looking his show right now All right, hey man, if you got to be Devon George man Don't be Devon George right now. It's Shagging Kobe right here Jack and Kobe right here Sit over there in the corner Okay, believe I'm here you Go on over there man, we got this man

Yeah Showed up in a hot ass black suit though. I just heard it. Hey, hey. I shot a lot. This is smock. His verse should be coming in this bitch with a sweat off. No, I didn't come to preach today.

I was like, is he red or is he just rusty? He got all that oil on me. Do this for a little bit, man. Can you think it's a big deal that DeAndre Aiden hasn't heard from LeBron yet after joining the Lakers? No, if he got in the cola One fucking thing the color would have got the color. Yeah, yeah in Serbian Google Translate here what you need and looking at car before the text and so

Face time in it's Roman Roman Chargers were will do that. He signed us a stitch again. You can just get a tick. We got free nights and weekends. He know LeBron don't pay for Wi-Fi either. So, you know what I mean? Just chop it up like that. Man, it's busy, man. See you on the golf course, man.

Hitting balls and shit. A lot of this shit is telling is just okay what is it telling hmm what is it telling your expert opinion yeah don't even know if I'm on this team. Yeah, I don't even know if I'm gonna be here. I'm not taking it. There might not be this nigga team, so what the fuck am I gonna say to him? But you are for right now. You do a good job. Like, no, nigga.

You've been treating Bribe crazy lately. That's just been crazy. No, I don't. What do you mean? No, no, no, no. I ain't never seen you talk like this about him. Because he's not supposed to. We don't know if he's gonna be here. If he's not gonna be No, I don't mean Cuz he's not you don't we don't know if he gonna be if you're not gonna be he ain't a lickin though Why don't you be incurring it goes back to normal? Why don't you motivate it go back to the normal? If you use a lake you protect it if you not a lake you just on out there

Just a nigga off the street That's crazy. I caught him. So, Bron has been known to send cryptic messages to his teammates and organizations many different ways. Is LeBron trying to send a subliminal message to the Lakers by not contacting Aiden Gill? You said that. To quote the great Magic Johnson, I'm not going to be here.

I'm not going to be here. Everybody talk about this. I don't know, man. I don't. I mean, I gotta go gonna be here. Everybody talk about X. I don't know man, I don't, I mean. I gotta go across the board. I gotta ask her to, you know. You gotta ask the Devin George hit up, uh, I mean not Devin George, uh, the Devin Booker hit up

young fellow when he got traded, I don't know, I mean, I don't know what I don't know what top tiers do. It don't matter. I know. They want to hit you, they want to hit you, they don't, they don't. As a former top tier, would you hit a teammate if they signed up for you? Did I text you? Yes, motherfucker, you're the first one to text me.

I didn't get a text from God damn Deshaun Stevenson, though. Did you get one from Kron? No. So you didn't get one from Option 2 or Option 3? I know. Nope, see, so. But you did get a text from good yeah you remember what that Texas wagon welcome welcome some shit some

shit I don't know man if you want to be offended you can be offended if you don't you don't and not to put he said it's ain't his first rodeo so that means probably little went to Phoenix and niggas didn't hit his ass either He was drafted Drafted in to get a six. Hey, it's a month You guys are on what to do You guys are on one today. What? Why is he on a little ass flip phone though?

The bad part is he's only been to Phoenix to- Portland. In Portland. Yeah, ain't nobody in Portland check. What's wrong with you over there? I'm pretty sure you don't need no checks from the Portland police. Yeah, I'm about to say, yeah. Was he on a flip phone though?

What was that? I was trying to figure it out, but I didn't. It figure it out. It is radio. Oh yeah. Wi-Fi at the Laker facility known to be janky at times. Man I think he just he's just happy to be somewhere where he probably needed or wanted. He got a new deal. So if he hit me, he hit me. If I'm you, and you get that text, just do this. Hey, who is this? Even if he say his name.

Hey, who is this? Bron, Bron, Bron, Bron, Bron. Oh, what's up, man? Wait, Bronny or Bron-Bron? Big one or little one? You can do that shit. Fuck with the ego. It's little Bron. Cause if you be like LBJ, do the sign. Just, oh, this old Bronny, what's up, Bronny?

Good looking. I just finished watching the game. That shit, man. I'm going to watch it with something. He going to have to be on some, he going to have to put the king and some shit like that. Other than that, I'm just going, King Bronny, no. If Lebron does that, Gil, which we're hopeful and optimistic for, me as a Bron fan, Aiden also said this about playing with LeBron and Luca, they turn teammates into superstars.

They make them bigger than their roles. Just getting me back to my full form of how I used to play, you know, coming up and being a part of the NBA finals. It's those playmakers I'm used to having around me. I like that, man. I like that man. I like that man. You want to get back to the final. He talking that final talk.

He talking championship talk. Yes. He already got the right mindset. So do you expect Aiden to step it up now that he's playing with Luca and Brian? Obviously this is not Phoenix. This is not Portland. This is a different market, different fan base. Of course. They expect greatness. They want banners hung up. Step it up. I mean. Obviously this is not Phoenix, this is not Portland. This is a different market, different fan base. Of course. They expect greatness.

They want banners hung up. Step it up, I mean. It came in all black, man. 12 and 10, 14 and 10, I mean. That is a step up. That's all y'all expect. From the center spot? From him, no, from him.

Double, double. I expect from the center spot from him not from him double-double Mean blocks You said I mean realistically You go. I mean option square to that dim to plus Reeves. That's those are the one two three Papa de Lamont especially just just hypothetically we talking if y'all are full with LeBron Lee as Stan. If we, so we stay all together. That number I'm cool with.

15 and 10, 15 and 11. I'm cool with that. Okay. If LeBron Lee. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. 18 and 12. That's what I'm asking. That's what I'm saying. Why you keep saying that? Damn, I'm not going nowhere, bro. No, I'm just saying that. Okay. If it's Bronley, 18 and 12. That's what I'm asking. Why you keep saying that? Damn, I'm not going nowhere, bruh.

No, I'm just saying, man, listen. Either way, either way, we got what I want. I got somebody to cheer for. You were just cheering for Bron all year. What happened? We got Luca. You still would cheer for for brown he's 42 just 40 years you gotta know what you gotta jump on brother you got a Huh? Huh? Not making it to the finals. No, no, no, if Bronle even, we're not making it to the finals. That's what I'm saying. That ain't gonna stop me from talking about the finals. It should.

It should. I was cheering for y'all with the finals. I was looking dumb for the last four, five, six years. It didn't matter. Right? It didn't matter. You and that big head nigga. Just yeah, that's the new Shag and Cove.

Yeah, I was doing that. Looking stupid. Looking stupid, yeah, looking stupid, yes. Out there with the black D'Angelo, talking about yeah. Yeah, I got your zero, yes. Damn. You Jordan Clarkson, yeah.

That was some fun time. Yeah, that big gorilla nigga we had in New York, yeah, yes, I was down. Big gorilla, yeah. Somebody just hit me and said, hey man, when you was talking all that Ingram shit, I think when you was like, Ingram better than Pascal? Yeah, he hit me, tell me, yeah, so what's happening now?

I was like, Ingram ain't a Laker no more, so I don't. I remember. Ain't no Laker, bro. Yeah, I was with the team, yo, we good. But still, stop, stop, so. You know, I'm just. You just paid by Brian. Huh?

You just paid by Brian. You? You were just paid by Brian. You was on payroll. They must have cut the checks. Brother, them Luka checks is good, brother. Right? Now that foreign dollar, that Euro. They have barbecue sauce. That Euro dollar makes you holla.

We bring you all the best underdog stories of the week in this segment. Gil, Canyon, and Nick will each present their nominees and will advocate for them. And the folks at underdog will decide who the winner is. Gil, this is your show. Who is your underdog of the week the king? the brown no Bronte

I guess they hit. We have 10 points in 11 minutes. Wait, why is he even in this category? He's an underdog, dude. The 55th pick, not expected to be doing things like that. Not expected to sell jerks.

Hey, did we get to change our jersey? I got to hit him. I think the jersey getting changed. We got to change that to zero Finally, I'm supposed to been changing our number to zero Hmm. What's your last year? Is this a true story? Yeah. Yeah, who won somebody was on the team that was zero We think it's supposed to be used with get the fuck off the team. Hold on The Bronies was to change his number

The bronies was to change his number Well, I'll be good Ronnie your underdog of the week has my vote Yeah, but let's move up more to Canyon Canyon. Who is your underdog of the week, sir? Rita Tom the new rebound Queen Andries Never zero this year We see Angel? No, we didn't have a zero this year. Uh oh, we see Angel.

She was cooking. 17-17 last six games, bro. 18-17 actually. That's my pick right there, I got that right. Bobba Siss, 88. That's what she's having? Last six games? That's Angel Reese, Gil.

New Reebok, Diamond Dust. You see her trying to get in her bag though? The fact that she shoot 88 from the line is, Diamond Dust. You see them trying to get in their bag though? The bag that she's shooting 88 from the line is and yeah. She waving it out the way. Smacking clipboards. Shout out Andrew Reebok. Solid pick from Kenyon there. So up next, let's move on to Swaggy.

Swaggy, who is your underdog of the week? I got, what is it, Boat Formar? Ah-Wah? Oh. Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, pow! Yeah. The Boat Aura Farmer. Aura? Oh, okay. Yeah, man. Joy Farmore's cousin. Little Farmore, I don't know, don't need ya. I didn't know that was a real thing until I kept seeing different kids. I thought it was AI at first.

I thought it was AI at first. There you go, Ham. All right. That's hard though. I think he the most popular one. So we asked the good folks at Underdog. No, no, seriously, that's the thing. Like the kids the good folks at underdog. That's a thing, the kids are in a boat doing that. The folks at underdog deliberated long and hard with those three potential options.

Long and hard. Along with the fans who voted on the underdog Twitter account, not to be confused with the Gills Arena Twitter account, two different Twitter accounts. They did it long and hard. Similar content. And the winner is the Boat Aura a farmer has won the underdog of the week To celebrate this underdog as a special promo for our fans out there Let's take a look at the special promo the underdog is giving out Dan the chat voted Angel Reese You can apply a 50% discount on your voted Angel Reese they said she's Yeah on the underdog Twitter Two different Twitter's but

You can apply this special token to your favorite or a farmer 50% off apply as you choose just for watching gills arena and enjoying the underdog of the week So underdog always taking care of the people. 15%. Take a Bronnie Hyde. Because football coming up, we need the underdog, I mean we need a Gills Arena football draft.

I know Black, we need to do a fantasy football joint. No, no, the fantasy, yeah, the fantasy football draft. Yeah, like we did basketball, yeah. Okay okay can y'all let you make all my god hey I got hated on cuz I put it on auto draft and and then I had all the quarter I had all the quarterbacks on Twitter they've been complaining about you taking all the QB and then it took all QB's six out. He's tapping in with us for more specials from underdog. So speaking of extension talk though, three time MVP current MVP runner up,

Nikola Jokic was eligible for a three year, $200 million extension with the Nuggets this summer, but he will not sign that according to ESPN. So by waiting an additional year, a Jokic is able to add a fourth year to the deal and an additional $77 million, which he can sign next summer. Four year to $77 million? So No Brunson style discount for the Nuggets will be coming. He has a current deal with the Nuggets that takes him to a player option in the 27-28 season if he decides he'd rather be a free agent in a few years.

Uh, 2027 just happens to be the summer the Lakers are aiming to have a max salary slot open. Just pointing that out. Is this just good business from Jokic or do you think he's hinting at free agency? Wait one more year to get the extra close to 80. Ain't nothing gonna change for Joker. Still average part at triple double. He'll get his money regardless. The Lakers are a damn good shit.

He gonna go up against Gobert every night, shit. Nobody can stop this big ass. He doesn't play Gobert every single night. Somebody like Gobert. Four times a year you'll see him. I mean, it's always for the player, getting out of your deal instead of signing an extension is always more money for you. So, I mean, it makes sense. There's nothing new here for somebody like Jokic.

Usually they just... And they can't pick them, really. Yeah. They usually just wait, get out of the deal, sign a brand new deal. But, I mean, it's smart for him because it gives him a little bit of leverage for them to make moves. And if they didn't do anything, he can just go, you know, come on over here. Go to the Lakers. Come on over here.

I'll be supportive of that. Big three of Luka, Bronny, Jokic. You can stop him from being the old NBA and all that. You can't stop him from being the old NBA. He's getting his bread. He's going to get his bread. Give him my money. So I feel like Nuggets did this more just obviously they had to.

Knew he was probably going to decline this deal. Try to get that extra 80 mil. Next season. Still got daycares to run. For some other tapes in the league. He's still out here birthing babies so he's still got, I'm saying. Them planning, I mean just, ooh. As great as that'll look offensively, ooh. That's gonna be a low ass basketball game.

Who is? You mean, you mean... Luka? Luka and Jokic? Nah man, you don't want that. You're gonna have to have a whole bunch of athletes in the back. What? Check that out.

You don't want that. Yeah. Oh, man. Hey, why didn't they do Laker here kicking in? The one with LeBron on the team, too? Brother, what did all the LeBron talk, man? I can't wait for LeBron for the Cleveland. Every since he tapped your chest, man. Oh, he a clean process. Every season chapter.

They win the championship. This is me. That's him. They're good. I'm probably gonna stay. I can't leave. If I'm with the Golden State, this man be all Golden State fan. No, I'm not leaving.

You're not leaving the Lakers. They should be good to me. All right Can't take another move when my family bill is to it's just too emotionally taxing. Wait, wait, wait, wait So you know rocker words man like that? We got so he's a little So he just came to be a Laker friend in 2000 the Laker fans have embraced me Maybe one of their own the broad. That's okay. Thank you fan You don't say Yeah, we don't you have beef now what's going on?

The way you talk about the Lakers I thought you were a motherfucker Right? Nah he ain't been a Laker fan Almost eight seasons Almost eight seasons K.I. Nah That's like 20% of my life Bandwagon ass nigga you don't get to count the 20 champions

Bronwagon Bronwagon you count the 20 champ Ron wagon We count the most important one 2020 no no like this there's some weird-ass fandom out here there's Laker fans Who jumped off ship because bronca because bronca yeah, so we got some Cleveland fans Yeah, who hated Cleveland they was Kobe fans LeBron comes to the Lakers, them niggas is Cleveland fans. That's from Cleveland. That's great. Not supposed to make sense, just fandom.

And short for fanatic. It's fandom, like fanatic. But we had a good time in Los Angeles. Like how are you a teen fan? Like if you are a Organizational fan whoever y'all get y'all. Yeah. Yeah, but how are you a fan of a business? You can't control what they do if they prove they're not rocking with you. That's the point of the loyalty. It's like Like football fans, I'm pretty sure it matters business. Hmm. So so you so you not Thank you, like no matter who I hate I gotta watch Bronte like who I hate move out there if they become a Laker I'll

automatically inherit Everyone every single player every single player Anthony towns come here Brother everything I said on the internet is getting scrubbed here brother everything I see on the internet is getting scrubbed all right it's Cori Anthony Tows till I die after all that yeah and after all yeah oh this becomes the man hello are we all in here oh yes I'm sitting in now but you're coming out LeBron coming out LeBron fans we don't appreciate Yes, I'm sitting in there. Are you coming out LeBron? You coming out LeBron fans? We don't appreciate it No, I'm not coming out LeBron fans. I'm just saying if y'all decide to leave I understand. I gotta stay though

Just not I'm just saying if y'all Cuz I don't want to talk about we Then you just be merely a host for real. Like you don't have no skin in the game. There's two Bron's. Got loyalty transfer. Damn, what you gonna do when Bron go? Support Bronny.

Take the son with him. Don't take Bronny with you, Bronn. I got my Bronny jersey. Bronny's a homegrown Laker. Yeah. Sierra Canyon ready Might go back, but let's shift back over to the nuggets Shift back over to the nuggets this summer nuggets have traded for cam Johnson Jonasanchunas, while signing Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway Jr. reports that Valanchunas was looking to dip to

Greece to play for Panathinaikos? Panathinaikos? Am I saying it? Panathinaikos? Panathinaikos in Greece. He was trying to go over there. What's the what's the what's the some Greek shit? some Greek shit like Lakers you'd be like Lake show what's theirs Panathinaikos pistols huh what Pana what's their team like with the dragons where there's nothing just and they we got one name okay Panas but Nuggets expect him to honor his contract bring his ass to Denver so have But Nuggets expect him to honor his contract, bring his ass to Denver. So have the Nuggets done enough to keep Yocca Chappie? Make some stellar moves this off-season.

No, I mean they made some good moves. MPJ to Brooklyn. I mean they made some good moves, so. Hey, wait, wait, is Russ still there? No. No, he's a free agent? Russ is on the market right now. Damn, that's crazy.

This is fucked up. Have you seen this before? Right. There's many big, like, I mean, somebody like Russ would have signed already or wait towards the end to see if any money is lingering around, but so many big, big free agents are still out there. That's what Draymond said. That's what he What he posted on threads free agency has lost his luster bread is not there even for the young dudes

Come in and get here. I get strong arm. We just know huh. No Yeah, that's facts every day that goes by that no bread is being offered Yeah, that's facts. Every day that goes by, there's no bread is being offered. God, it's like rocks. Probably being offered, but it ain't what they looking for. That's my point though. It's just some shit being offered. Are you gonna take it or nah?

And if they all, if every, like, so Tim, Giddy, who else is up? I don't know, Gamma LeBron fans. And there's, who's in the free agency market right now that's asking for big money? There's like four or five of them, right? They're restricted, yeah. So that means they gotta go... Who? Cam Tom, Kaminga, Giddy.

So they have to go back for what, that one year, 11 million? That's fucking with Cam. Cam? Oh. All them buckets on the losing team, bruh. Yeah. Quinn Grimes still out there. He wants some big bread based on what he did with the fish.

If I'm Cam, I'm probably like the one that looked like they can be getting screwed. So I got to really, he has to really be careful out there. Like, yo. I've been there. You know what I mean? Yeah, I got a I got a really he has to really be careful out there like yo You know, I mean like you the way your career started they done You should be they showed you already you should be you should be really grateful you in this situation Even I asked for this type of money where they was treating you If I'm him, I'm sitting there like yo, who got the best right now? Yep. Let me go ahead and try to clean up this money and then hopefully this money get me in a starting position

then I worry about my second contract. Yeah. Fuck yeah. One of those dudes is gonna break first and it's gonna fuck up everybody else's shit. Now that I know who the group is, if I'm Cam, I'm breaking first. Like I'm, right now he's asking for what probably with for you what one 50

Come if you have is 20 something 20 something. Yeah. Yeah Huh? Yeah, none of that matters right now. I can tell you that. I ain't getting the value of one of the points again. Oh, no, no, hell no. No. That ain't happening. So what are you asking about? What, 150?

Let me see. I don't know what you're asking for this shit, but it's... Ain't nobody budging on it, whatever it is. See, even Brooklyn, they got the money, don't they? Yup. Was it 150, what? Divide by what, five probably? Yeah, yeah, that 30 million a year.

That's for himself. So he's probably after a five year, 130? Good luck. 150? And he started there, right? He was a rookie there. I'm going to be like a man five years Yeah, 100

Why do five years? Oh, yes. Oh, yes 95 Yeah, I'm going I'm going I'm going to I'm going 20 if I'm asking for 30 I'm going for 20 million right now I know let's do this If they'd be like 18, I bet cool. Yeah right now. Hey, let's do this. If they be like 18, I bet. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. It's a cool because I am not going to be put on that bench.

I'm not going to sign that one year. Don't do that. To be a restricted free agent. Again. Then get sit on the bench. And my money done. I'm not even taking that risk. Because now they're going to lose me for nothing. So if they're going to lose me for nothing, they ain't going to put my money done. I'm not even taking that risk. Cause now they gonna lose me for nothing. So if they gonna lose me for nothing, they ain't gonna put my value up.

So yeah, I'm anywhere from, if I'm asking for 30, I'm anywhere from 15 to 20. I'm accepting that for at least four years. I'm good, I'm good. But let's shift back. I'm cool boss to the Denver nugget. I got no leverage here Do you like what the Nuggets have surrounded Joker with? In their quest to keep the championship window open keep him in Denver for the long term Yeah, yeah cam Thomas make

Johnson he make shots Tim Hardawayaway Jr. makes shots. Yeah. Got a solid backup for him now in Valiantrunas. Not to say, I like DeAndre, but the older ones. Yeah. Jonas is, you throw the ball down to him on the block and he'll get a bucket. Bruce Brown knows how to play off of the cola and then Jamal Murray so That helps got his bread from his time and never previously came back. Yeah, so let's

see Well, let's move on talk about another big man So we're still waiting for buddy said what is leverage Bradley bill and Phoenix That's leverage Need me to come down a 90 million. I Got all the leverage. That's what leverages. He has a really really good problem You need me to do something for you, that's like you're gonna give me bread to not work

The other dudes I need y'all to help me So we're still waiting to see if Yannis will make a decision or not of whether her Formerly requests a trade from the Bucs Yannis was on stream with I show speed Said this when asked about his future in Milwaukee. Where do you leave? LA? No, Florida. Florida. Tax is better there, huh? Yup, tax is good there. Tax is better there. LA, the tax is bad. New York, tax is bad. Hell no. A lot of people have tried to convince me. Tried to convince me to go and play there.

And stuff. Oh nah. So you staying in Milwaukee? Uh, probably. Probably. We'll see. See. Probably a little Milwaukee. You have to throw that love in.

Probably. So you're going to stay with her? Probably. Does that sound convincing? She might be pregnant, so I might have to. You're a father? Probably. Probably.

Shit. Shit. If I am, I'm a lover. If I am I'm a go lover. Okay. So when you hear Yana talking like that, I hope so. Yana saying probably we'll see. Yeah. That sounds like good the right answer man.

Yeah. That sounds like the right answer. Man, he's really been bowling out there with it though this year. He is Greco-Nigerian. He's always been, you know, where he came in, I'm not signing my extension. I mean, he's always kind of been. He has applied pressure the past few years. I want to be on the championship team. I could explore some options. Warriors jersey on. Think about it.

But listen, if we're gonna talk about just somebody being loyal. He has. He seems like probably the most loyal when it comes to what he values, right? You know, family, agent, the only agent I never believed in him. You know, that's the guy he's riding with that you're talking about, brother, family, or like he's a very loyal person,

so it seems like he had tried to do whatever it takes to try to, you know, stay there, so. And I don't disagree with that. Obviously, he spent his entire career in Milwaukee, has an opportunity to play there. But it comes to the point, too, if you want to win championships, do you feel like that is a place where you can do it?

I did it before. Yeah? I did it before, so what makes me think that I can't do it again if you give me some more pieces and that's my point. So you give me some more pieces. What makes you like of course, I think I can do it again because of my approach. This is I know what I'm going to do, but I need help. So yeah, yeah, that's his mindset. I can see him playing it out there

putting some more pieces around him, but... But you never know. This is sports. You never know what the motivations are for the organization moving forward, what their plans might be. It might be out of his control. And they might come in there and tell him, listen, we think it's best for you to find another home.

This is the direction we're about to go. Could be that, never know. But if it's up to him, I'm pretty sure he will try to bring pieces here, try to win there. Right, you got family in Milwaukee looking for you? Oh man, I think it's time for him to move on though. He's come here. He can give up, can he give up Kobe? I mean, can he give up LeBron? Kobe, Jersey? What was your... Can he give up LeBron?

No, I was saying, because he liked, you know, Kobe told him to win and shit, so that'd be a great honor to honor all that and come here. You can trade LeBron for him, can't we? I don't know if Milwaukee is taking on one year. If LeBron's in the goals, he's going back to Cleveland. AR, somebody. Just one move up in the green. Give up AR, at least they can have somebody.

A single move up. I get it from the art side. If you're Milwaukee, you taking AR. And some picks. Cool, you taking AR? Coolest pick. Our side. That's what I'm saying. You mean walking you take an AR and some pigs and some big cool You think a are it'd be a lot of trades. So like you seen LeBlanc this way he come here You see you so you want to 85,000 300 300

85,000 Forget the 300. Y'all talking about 85. Don't forget the 300. Same, man. Listen, I don't think he's in the... Right now, he has an advantage with his legacy and whatever he's done, he's done it there. Right? He's won his two MVPs there, he's won his championship there, finals MVP there, scoring title there.

He knows how the media works. If he demands a trade, his legacy gets chopped in half, right? Because the great ones didn't do it. He knows if he stays home and they trade him, he only lose 10% value because it was them that did it. I mean, these kids are getting a little bit smarter. They're watching what you're doing to the rest of the players that came before them. And it seems like that he's willing to stay home

and play his career out and try to win there because he knows his legacy depends on it. When you decide to leave to go chase it does it seem like it doesn't favor you because you're you're now being compared to people who stayed there their whole career with their leg as he's intact so I Don't think he's gonna leave because what he's done there He's in front of a lot of people in their legacy Like that one championship there jumps a bunch one championship to MVP two MVPs, that equals a statue in Milwaukee.

Yeah. So for him, Anthony. Yeah. So I mean, so right now you're talking about. Brother give him a statue too. People are talking about respecting, you know, championships and legacy. It's him and Curry that's been there the longest.

Yoke is just going gonna be traveling right behind him if he stays there, so. So Giannis, 12 seasons in Milwaukee, a third longest active tenure with one team, obviously Steph, still in first place. Draymond in second, both with Golden State. Then him and Booker, then... And B.D. Giannis.

Shit at this point. Yeah. Tatum. Yeah. And the 26- at this point. Yeah. Tatum. Yeah. And the 26 year olds. Brown. Brown was 30 years before. Oh, Brown is the year before?

Brown was 30 years before. All these niggas is 26 and this is the longest. That's crazy. Longest ten year. I'm 26 years old. Yeah, I definitely think he stays put, man. Just to, when you build something somewhere and you can walk around places man and ease

fucking him there. Like it's, yeah. Yeah. All right, Mustapha, let's talk about another team in the Eastern Conference that at least one person in this arena will appreciate. Number one seed last season, Cleveland Cavs made a trade to bring in Lonzo Ball from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Isaac Okoro. Zo talked about the way he found out about the trade on his What an Experience podcast.

Where were you when you found out the news? Well you know what's crazy is at my time, because when I woke up I seen my phone, it's crazy right? So like when the news dropped it was like 3am in Fiji so I was already asleep but so I didn't wake up so like seven So it was about four hours headwind by look at my phone right? I'm like missed call from you rich. I'm like, oh I'm like, oh, I got a text from a castle Oh, I look at my the Cavs and coaches text me like damn that's crazy

So I was pumping went right to went right to not Twitter went right to X. I'm like, yeah, that's it real damn Hey some calls exactly me. I'm like damn how many missed calls did you have? Oh, my phone was crazy, bro I can't even give you a number. It took a long time to go through it was mostly a lot of text though So before we talk about Lonzo with the calves I gotta talk about just how we found out about the trade. Was asleep on vacation when the trade went down. Nice. You guys have been traded before in your career. How did you find out about your own trades?

Mine was mid-season, so they had, my agent called me and said they think about trading you and, but they gave me the options. That was pretty cool. It was either Lakers or Clippers. I thought that was dope though, that they gave me the chance to pick the place where I was going. I chose the Clippers. I don't know why I have fucked up.

Stupid, it was the worst decision of my life. 22 magnificent games with the Clippers, Swaggy. Good game. Fucked up people. You guys got to become teammates, I believe, as a result of that. Mm-hmm. Okay, were you happy to see Swaggy come into the locker room after that trade? Was you there before me, Ashley?

He was there before me. He came after me. Oh, you was there before me? No, you came after me. Yeah. How'd you was there before me? No, you came after me. Yeah. How'd you find out about your trade? Mine was a signing trade. You dictated the turn.

You leveraged as we said. I ain't never been traded like that. I ain't never, so. Mine was a signing trade. From the nets to the nuggets. So, yeah, it was. From the Nets to the Nuggets. So, yeah, it was. Got your bread. Oh yeah, no, that's- Most important thing.

Yeah, let's get this number to them, yeah, because the Nets couldn't afford it, so. I just got the number to the high. I probably could have got more if I would have- Waited a little bit longer? No, like we was going back and forth when it got to a certain number, and I just told, all right, all right.

For these people, for fucking around with me, people change their mind now. Like, listen, yeah, they definitely, the world we're at now, definitely greater than zero. So, yeah, that's- That'd be crazy. Now you'd be sitting there going, and then you'd be like 85,

you'd be like 84, you'd be like 85, you be like 84, you be like 84, five and then doom. And we good. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Yeah, no, mine was they told the Nets you can lose him cause he's leaving and you can try to get something back and did sign a trade, so. I went to the Nuggets. How did you find out about your trade?

They tapped me on the shoulder. Orlando Magic. Remember the nigga I left? Are you sure you weren't at the airport? Yeah, I was up I went to the airport. I just heard. It was like, yeah, it's like a 50%, 70% chance that the trade is going to go through.

That's all I needed. Took my shoes. I was living with him. Took my shoes. Took my shoes. And all the shit that happened. Yeah, I took all that left. I took all my shit.

Took just a pair of shoes so I could go work out. Went to the airport. Went there. Took a cab. Didn't even tell even tell him show up to the arena. Hey, you're reading I heard y'all was Maybe they made a call. We can let him in and I'm shooting a trade went through To get out of there so bad they had to make a call at the door. He wanted to get out of there so bad.

He wasn't the same. Oh yeah, no. Trying to get traded is one thing. I was trying to get out of Denver, nigga, hell and high water. But shit was the way it is now, because they damn sure would have told my ass to stay home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Buying out. What? Buying out, if that was a thing back then? The thing is, so the thing, the motherfuckers, so they knew what they had, so I think about it, ain't no way they was gonna ask me to stay home because I affect the winning. So ain't no, like, we'd rather deal with him and him,

them two not getting along than the time we stay at, right? Right? Yeah, we need him to try to win, so we... Fuck that. And the horse he rode in on. Yeah, you bring your ass to work. You come in this motherfucker and play. We actually need to.

Let's get back to the Lonzo. Trey to the Cavs joins the team with the Void at point guard as they lost Ty Jerome to the Grizzlies for agency. Darius Garland expects him at the start of the season as he recovers from toe surgery. Expects to keep him out four to five months. He had that surgery in early June. So right now it looks like he'll play a good amount of minutes alongside first team all NBA selection, Donovan Mitchell to start the season.

Do you like Lonzo's fit in Cleveland with the Cavs? Yeah. Yeah, fast pace, moves the ball, get everybody involved. I mean, traditional, traditional PG. Kind of plays the game a little like Halle, just, you know, not from a shooting standpoint, but getting the ball up court, keeping that tempo, you know, moving.

So they should be a lot faster this year while Lonzo's... I got the same look we shot, just Halle's go in got the same ugly shot, just how he go in though. That shot, that shit, yeah. I know, he cleaned his up a little bit. He cleaned his shit up. No, no, no, no, Zolt cleaned his shit up. Yeah. Because he used to.

When? Yeah, he been did. Over the years. No, when he first came in, I used to say there's no way he gonna be able to get that off an NBA. He did a lot of work to pull that motherfucker straight up now. No, no, his shit go straight up.

It ain't like it was, trust me. But I'll say, you can't shoot a step back every time. He did a lot of work to pull that motherfucker straight up now. No, no, his shit go straight up. It ain't like it was, trust me. But I'll say, you can't shoot a step back every time. That was the only way he used to be able to get it off. You can't shoot a step back every time, dog. I wonder how he settled on that shooting form in his youth. Huh? He turned me as his brother. Shooting the ball too far away from the basket when you ain't got the strength

to fucking do it. I got to get it up there motherfucker so what's the best way? Meanwhile jello hub jello super hub no problem shooting that point. You bringing that motherfucker up from this. How the fuck yeah you trying to get that bitch out yeah you just throwing that bitch at that point so now you it start going in. You just keep doing it. People that jump shots is ugly, they just start going in and you just,

that's what it is, bruh. If it starts going in, you're not gonna correct it. You just gonna perfect, listen, this bitch going in this way. Yup. Shoot that muffa. How'd you shoot a shot? How'd you shoot a shot?

How did you shoot a shot straight like that? When I was little? No. When I was fine, I'd hit you, you'd shoot me. My shit was like, kind of crooked too. Oh yeah, you shoot, yeah. Yeah, that shit right in front of my head.

Yeah. But I used to shoot like this. Yeah. What's that the fuck? You know, I'd put it in the cellar. Cock! Cock, had that cock on it, ah! Yah! And then Dave Hop, Dave Hop, That motherfucker had a cold. put in the side. Cock! Cock! Have that cock on it. Ah!

Yah! And then Dave Hoplin. That's that motherfucker Mara Cole. Yeah, Dave Hoplin. That's that motherfucker dude that came here. That Mara Cole. That motherfucker over here. That bitch on automatic.

Like, hot, man. Yah! That Jokers right here. Yeah. Now they should be alright. Just think about the way everybody, yeah, when you small, man, that's why I be seeing kids. At the gym one day, man,

this dad got his kid in there, his kid barely get up to the rim. And you just got him shooting through. I can't help it. I said, let me ask you a question. Like, so why you got him where he at? Like, do you see he's struggling right now to get that, you got him using the big,

one, the ball too big. You gotta get the right, to get that, you got him using the big, one the ball too big. You gotta get the right, see here. Two, he, how about you moving me in a few steps. Let's see how they go from here, right? As kids, they're a lot easier from here. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like. Fucking up these kids early, man.

You probably see him right now. Yeah, he's just chucking that big, kids early, man. You probably see him right now. Yeah, he's chucking at me. Heave ho! Shug, you got on all-cats gear today. You like Lonzo and Cleveland. Championship? Is he going to play, though? Stop it, Joe.

Cavs is six. Told you you can't trust him. Because he been out for, what, two years, right? He came back last year. He played last year. He did? Yeah. I did not watch Chicago, that's why. No one did.

No, that's what I'm saying. We watched once. We watched once and got the Giddler. And got Giddler. The Giddler got us. I'm happy for him, man. And he played defense, and he talked. Oh, yeah.

He knew all the right things. Game winner, y'all ass. Yeah. OK, I know you were happy to see that. No, I just remember y'all was upset. Y'all talking about it on play-by-play. I remember Gilderick's reaction. Cut the stream.

First of many times. First of many times that the stream has been cut. During a Gilbert Arena stream. But, shout out to Lazo, rest of the ball family. You know, hoping that it works out for him in Cleveland. Alright, so that's it? One more thing. It is Bronnie time soon again. I can feel the anticipation and excitement but before the game tonight 5 p.m pacific 8 p.m eastern. Let's talk about it. Las

Vegas summer league begins today. A highly anticipated matchup between the Lakers and Mavs largely due to the popularity of Brownie James the most important pick in the 2024 NBA draft as well as Cooper Flagg the number one pick in the 2025 NBA draft as well as Cooper flag the number one pick in the 2025 NBA draft so according to tick pick this is one of the hottest tickets in summer league history let's take a look it's it's not me saying this way it's the people no I know I'm just saying the people have spoken so Cooper flag verse Brownie James summer league tickets selling for a historic amount lower both tickets are going for $650. Quartz Side tickets $2,500 to be in the presence of LeBron James Jr. and Cooper Flag. They're calling the Quartz Side seats the most expensive summer league

seats ever. As you may recall back in the day $10 get into your arena, you can go get a jumper up if you wanted to. What? Go get a jumper up. The good old days in Vegas. So we will monitor as it gets closer. I will be on the ground in Las Vegas today at the game. Have charge day, lower bowl, court side ticket to underdogs account, woo woo. You ain't giving no smoke. I'll be out there tomorrow. Research purposes. It's historic. You can't even smoke with that. Nah, nah there tomorrow. You ain't giving no smoke. Research purposes. It's historic. You need smoke for that.

Nah, nah, nah. It's just going for other reasons. Yeah, I'm going for other reasons tomorrow. I ain't... The only Brax and Babyface are also in Vegas. You know what I'm talking about. Can you go be there? They're pulling up some old nigga shit.

For sure. So. Babyface. Oh yeah, nah, listen. Babyface had some shit. This may be arguably the biggest game in summer league history, which is crazy to say Like there was there was a there was Zion came in with the earthquake when he came in

soccer a blue and Cooper flag came in in a ticket jump playing a 55th pick More than just a 55th pick. More than just a 55th pick? I know. I know, cause nobody watched the second round this year, right? Who was the 55th pick this year, chat? Please let us know.

Who knows? Who went in the second round this year? Nobody knows. They called for going to two days. She's been dead one day, man. I'm just saying like. They called for making it today. Now, I wanna hear the same motherfuckers last year talking

about this year's second round and who got paid and who didn't, y'all didn't pay attention cause y'all didn't care. Yeah, they tried to make it like football. Ronnie James name was so big, they created a second round, sold 55 million, wait no, 500, wait how much money did he make on that? Like 50 million off his jersey. 50 million off his jersey sale, and then he pushed it up tickets, playing against the number one pick. Okay.

That's hard, bro. When you buy the tickets, I ask who are you there to see? 98% of said Bronnie, 2% Cooper Flack. I'm pretty sure. Mostly for me. If Cooper Flack was playing somebody else, it wouldn't be like that. I know, that's the crazy part, man. It's crazy.

Wait, did Bron and Mello play when they? Did they ever play against each other in pre- Summer League? Bron and Mello. Bron and Mello, when they came out, did they actually play against each other? I think so. That was a different time.

I think they was the first in Vegas. They did not? We barely had internet back then. No. He did Orlando Summer League? He didn't do Vegas? We were wearing seven X-Y-Ts. Like, I mean, it just makes Summer League real bad. Like, when I was in Summer league, like people don't realize,

when people talk about the best team ever, the best team that ever touched a summer league floor was the Clippers. The Clippers team was Lamar Oldham in what, his third year? Was that was 2001? He played here in summer league? Hell yeah, he's third year. Him, Corey Ligeti, Darius Myles, man. God damn., yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that. It was like a pro-am though. Yeah.

So that was a bad like, that's the team we had to go get. There was that, what was the point guard on there? Keon Doolin? No, no, no, no, no, no. It was a little light skin, little small light skin thing, left-handed. Where at? Tyus. Where at?

Rhode Island? No, it was a Clippers Summer League team. They had the point guard that was on that team. Tyson Wheeler? Tyson Wheeler? Tyson Wheeler? Tyson Wheeler. Oh, he was with Cateno.

Oh, him and Cateno was in the backcourt together. Busting ass. Jim Herrick. Who? Tyson Wheeler and Cateno, both left hand point guard and two guard, busting ass at Rhode Island. Tyson Wheeler, fan of Gills Arena, presented behind the door. Busting ass.

Now, imagine with, so, now presented behind the door. Hey, now, now. Busting ass. Now imagine with him. So, now that's how good he was, right? He was the point guard, added with Derrick Miles, Quinn Rich. That was like... That's crazy. Yeah. I was like, all right, man, look, I got the life skill, man. It's about to be easy.

Wait. Man, I got dragged all through that goddamn court. What were you just playing with? I was at Golden State. I know, but who was on your team that you were in? Me, J. Rich, Troy Murphy. Y'all had a good-ass team, too. We thought we did, until we played them.

So I'm calling it the biggest game in summer league history What are expectations versus the Brownie flag matchup tonight? Las Vegas summer league marquee matchup

Prime time slot how much time burning get I hope you know if they get least 25 man because I'm just getting people you paying 2,500 they better get 25 minutes at least if you pay 2,500 to get seven minutes of brownie that's crazy that's that'll be disappointing that's some Laker shit though they would do that not well you didn't play that many minutes with how many minutes you play last that's not sufficient sufficient I think for this one this is I mean all. Might have been saving up for this one. They should have. Everybody's showing up for this game, so hopefully they get their 25 to 30 minutes and it's going down, it's a close game.

One of them barn burners, something shit like that. A lot of celebrities expected to be in the building. Because the last time they played against each other. Josiah Johnson won them. Was in Dallas, Strive for Greatness, EYBL joint who won that one Cooper. It was a good ass game dog. That's when I was like, oh yeah, this motherfucking boy man who Koobas.

I was like, oh yeah, he ain't going for nothing. Pulling up from they trying to triple team him. Me motherfuckers get off of it, go set a screen and pop back to the ball. I'm like, oh, he get it.

He got off of it just to go get it back because they knew they was going to relax, shit like that. I'm like, oh yeah, he, yeah. He different. Yeah, that's what the last time I saw him play against each other, so. Motherfucking.

Y'all should be playing in the game. Hey man. 24 years old. Hey man, I need to go spray for mosquitoes. Don't give me that West Nile, can you please? You gotta see Bronte tonight. No. They ain't gonna kick in that fast.

Don King, Vince McMahon, or David Stern? Vince McMahon is wrestling, right? WWE? Vince Cole. What goes Vince? I'm going Vince. He had us really believing it was real. Only in America.

Cole. But Don King, though? I know. Don King, think about it. They both ripped motherfuckers. All three of them rip people off it just depends on how much you want to get ripped off I think Don King take more as I'm looking wait wait wait wait see Don King he was selling real

fighters though no nobody Mike Tyson's fault. But he had Mike Tyson though, that's all that mattered. But he was hyping the other people up like they was good too. I'm going David Stern, man. I gotta go David Stern. What he did for the 80s basketball is genius. When you say 80s was the toughest era And then I say what years and then they're gonna have to think about it because they're gonna say the bad boys And don't people don't realize that was 89 and 90

Mm-hmm that wasn't 80 81 82 83 84 So the fact that he made it seem like the 80s was that shit, but those last two months go 89 I know very inspiring just a bad boy 70s no that was the 70s. Oh, no, it was a 70s 80s man They didn't they didn't even have TV. They wasn't even playing in shit live. What's the dude that got banned? They were they were selling TV for rocks That was 70s. I'm watching the Kermit Kermit. Yeah, it was the 70s Get him in the 70.. Kermit was watching the room. Kermit, yeah. That was the 70s. Kermit hit him in the 70s, that was 80s.

That was 80s. Like 82. 81, 82. They were dropping people, bruh. Yeah, Kermit hit him in the 70s. I thought that was the 70s. Early 80s. Everybody was fighting.

What year was it? 1977. 1977, I thought it was the late 80s. I thought that was the late 80s. That wasn't no David Sternwald, he wasn't playing that shit. Kirk Rambis going in the hole, crazy. That was the 80s. Damn, I thought that was the lady. I thought that wasn't on David Stern watch. He wasn't playing that. Ramp is going in the hole. I thought that was right. I was born. Drugs. Oh, that he let that. Oh, that was I mean, they never said they was there was

gambling NBA games, man. I What not even for money For the rock Let me get let me get that get that pill brother You said only score 25 I got your box for the rock only scored 25. I got you boss. For the rock. For the rock. The real rock. So the fact that that the fact that the 80s is really looked at in a whole different light than what it really was you sold the shit out of that product.
