Starting point is 00:11:14 Historic day momentous day. I was like the kickoff black history month. That's why I like black history month because people don't know It's Abraham Lincoln's birthday. So it started with a white man anyway. Okay. Black History Month was Abraham Lincoln's birthday and Frederick Douglass. Turn his mic off. And then they turned it, it was Black History Month, and then they turned it into Black History Month. Black History Week.
Starting point is 00:11:37 The Lakers did emancipate Luka. Black History Week and then turned it into Black History Month, so technically, it was cool. The Lakers did emancipate Luka, brought him to LA. So after all the talk about declining viewership in the National Basketball Association, the Mavs and Lakers came through with one of the biggest trades in league history Saturday night,
Starting point is 00:11:52 sending the basketball world into absolute chaos. Let us take a look. Shortly after the Lakers went over the Knicks in Madison Square Garden, Shams dropped a bombshell that was almost too crazy to be true, a blockbuster three-team trade with the Mavs dealing their franchise cornerstone, former rookie of of the Year of five-time first-team all-NBA selection Luka Doncic, along with Maxie Kleber and Marquise Morris to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and the Lakers' 2029 first-round pick. The Jazz were also involved in
Starting point is 00:12:19 the trade, receiving former Lakers first-round pick Jalen Hushafino, along with the Clippers and Mavs' 2025 second-round picks First time in NBA history to reigning all NBA players have been traded for each other midseason Move was so unbelievable that everybody was convinced Shams got hacked He had to send this follow-up tweet confirming that it was indeed real. Yes. This is real He said Don't expanded his tire career with the Mavs, was eligible for a five-year $345 million Supermax
Starting point is 00:12:47 extension this summer. That would have been the biggest contract in league history. That Supermax deal will no longer be an option for Luka, who turns 26 at the end of this month, but now he moves into the second largest market in the country, so he will get that bread back. Go Fund Me. Whatever you need, Luka, we will make up the difference.
Starting point is 00:13:03 God bless you. According to Mavs general manager, Nico Harrison, discussions with him and Palenka began about a month ago and heated up in the 48 hours leading up to the trade. With Palenka at first thinking Harrison was joking by making Luca available. When asked about his motivation for the trade, Harrison told ESPN's Tim McMahon, quote, I believe that defense wins championships. I believe that getting an all defensive center and an and an all-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance.
Starting point is 00:13:29 We're built to win now and in the future. So according to McMahon, the Mavs had major concerns about moving forward with Luka Doncic due to his constant conditioning issues and giving him a Supermax contract extension this summer. We will start with the Lakers side of the couch first. We want to keep this positive for as long as we can. What's your reaction to Mavs trading Luka to the Lakers for Anthony Davis? Man, it's what the league needed.
Starting point is 00:13:55 They needed. I kept telling y'all, we needed to find a superstar. And the girls are like the superstars right now, the best players in the league. And one of them needed to go to a big market. Brandon can't disagree with anything you just said. I can't. So now...
Starting point is 00:14:09 Hey, speak king. So now... So now you got your Boston. You got your Boston team with Tatum and them, and now you got your Luka with the Lakers. So now whatever happens after that, you just know you got the two of the most winningest teams for the future.
Starting point is 00:14:23 It's all set Well said Brandon consider better myself swaggy Very emotional after the trade went down you dropped a video on IG watched every second of it Talked to a lot of friends in the local community. They were all buzzing about the video as well They all watched it multiple times. Ah You and your full Lakers garb here today. Head to toe. It's just, it's just, uh, at first, you know, I was like, I know it's the first.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Is this April Fools? This is shit. I thought they was pranking me. But then I started seeing it everywhere. And I just became the biggest Luka fan, like, out of, It just hit me instantly. Did you just hit you? You ever get that feeling when something just hits you instantly? I'm like, damn, this nigga the best player.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Whoa. I used to hang around. I was a hater. But then I became the appreciator. Appreciate. Can we get some napkins? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yeah. The purple and gold. No, we don't need none of that. We wanted to drop all down. Yeah, yeah. Dibs. I wanted all down. We need them.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I need them all. You kidding? I don't need no bib. I want one on the chest every day. I don't want no bib. I'm telling you, Luka. I know you just got done scolding somebody about this about three weeks ago. You do know that, right?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Black on black. What happened? Think about it, man. The Lakers is my favorite team, man. No, they ain't what you just said. Look what they did. That ain't what you just said. Look what they did. That ain't what you just said.
Starting point is 00:15:47 They got me to D-Lo, and now they got Luka? What? What? I got a lot of that white man, man. What the fuck is wrong with y'all? Woo! They gonna be out there like Sidney Dean and Willie Abbott.
Starting point is 00:16:00 What are they gonna do? Get me going, Sizzler. Man, get me going, Sizzler. We going, Sizzler. Get this man a bib. And order it from the healthy menu. So Gil, before I get to you, that kind, the little rubber one that got the little pouch on the bottom that catch everything.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Make sure it say Luca on it. Luca is the best. Gil, before I get to you, can I get the camera, please? Dang. So, in years past on Gil's Arena, in years past on Gil's Arena, we made some inflammatory comments about Luka, questioning his conditioning, his defense. And now that the trade has gone through,
Starting point is 00:16:38 now that the trade has gone through, we can admit it was just to diminish his trade value so we could get this deal done. We never believed any of that, Luka. We apologize. Apologize. We had to do what we had to do to get it done. And we got him on deal done. We never believed any of that Luca wheels Apologize who we had to do we had to do to get it done And we got him on the discount what we had to lower that price no Lakers tax on this. Oh my god it what? You can get it back just date the Kardashians. She's already looking for you So you gonna get your money back, but we got him on the discount too
Starting point is 00:17:01 So that means we can get a super max player when LeBron retires. Wimby, where you at? Wimby, where you at? God did that. He's over here on this side of the couch. No, no, no, no, no, no. God didn't do that. He did.
Starting point is 00:17:15 He came with me. That white man at the top knew what David Stern would do. You know what this is? You know what this is? I had a dream. This NBA was built on the Lakers being great, god damn it. Make a move.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I had a dream. They're talking about Chris Paul didn't come to Lakers. He wasn't Luka. We got Luka. He wasn't Luka. Dwight got him. Dwight got him. Dwight. Dwight. He gave him 10. It was like, you got Chris Ball. He was like, huh?

We was watching TV, getting ready for a lovely night. She got left on read. Kids were trying to talk, she was like, leave me alone! She was like, I'm ready!

I'm going to sleep. Lucas here. Who cares? Who cares? I'll get him next week. That's fucking... I got some better shit to worry about. Lucas excited me. That lingerie, getting a pot of beer.
Starting point is 00:19:38 So, Lucas the best player in the league now? Yeah. What? Of course. What the fuck are you talking about? Why would he even say MVP? How many games he played this year? 10? MVP. Who might win it? That's crazy. We need an all-star starter recount. Ooh, man.
Starting point is 00:19:55 So turn the machines back on. Turn the machines back on. We got Luka, so how much time are you giving Luka? Does he have to bring a championship or what like or just play 20 what he's 25 20 26 There will be a banner in LA for sure 1000% 20 27 was the superstar came here they would Mm-hmm.

It'll fix your audio. Refresh the page. Get your audio right. You're going to want to hear all of this. Unfortunately, I would agree with that. So let's move over to the less enthusiastic side of the couch. We'll start with Dallas native Kenya Martin first.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You said you're not a Mavs fan, but you are from Dallas. I am. And you got a lot of friends in the area. Oh, absolutely. That's Mavis fans. What is the reaction by Mavis fans right now finding out? Oh, you heard him on the news? Yeah, I did. Watched that clip finding out? Oh, you heard him on the news? Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Watched that clip several times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You saw him on the news, bro? Like, no, it's... No, it's just one of them things. He was supposed to be in there. Like, damn. This was definitely a surprise for everyone.
Starting point is 00:21:19 No, but I can only imagine how the people that grew up watching this man play, like them kids and teenagers and all that, like, that's a big deal. Man, a lot of people got this man's shoe. So no, but it's, no, it is one of those things like where you, like, wow. Yeah, it was. It's one of them wild moments in NBA history that you will remember. Synth, AD.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Yeah, my ass. I was at dinner. I didn't find out about it in real time. You know, I went to the doctor's dinner with my wife, put the phone down, I'm engaging. I don't look at the phone when I get in the car. Until I get back home, I walk in the house, my son was like, you know they traded Luka? I'm like, for who?
Starting point is 00:22:03 He's like, and I'm like, get the fuck out of here. Right? So one of them things, man, it's a future move. If it works out now, it's for the future. It's not for now. If it works out now, within LeBron's next few years, however long he plan on playing, great for them. It takes balls of steel, if you Nico, to do this.
Starting point is 00:22:39 It really takes, like, I'm going to stand on this, right? I'm going to make this decision and I'm going to stand on it no matter what the city has to say. Like it takes like a real, like you serious about this job? Like you looking or crack. A drug. A drug. This is the second year? This is the second year as you? They said let's do it for COVID.

I'm saying for one, for keeping it between them two, right? Which is a lost art in this day and age. So, shout out to them two grown men for being grown men and keeping it between themselves. They had a conversation amongst men and they kept it between themselves.

It's just like when they said, go get that-hmm. You never asked me when. Right. That's just like when they said, go get that vaccine, you motherfuckers just lined up. Didn't ask where it was going, where it came from or nothing. Just did it.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Mm-hmm. Man, y'all not answering the real questions, man. Y'all ain't watched Luka. I jumped off the chip. You did jump off the Luka, don't you?

Starting point is 00:26:45 ball. Who? Luka? Which one? Anthony Davis. What? Hold on. Both sides of the ball. You let Anthony Davis go for a guy that you all watched
Starting point is 00:27:00 jog around on defense, jog around with effort. Nobody said nothing. Coach didn't do nothing. You got to a new coach that's got less respect than your old coach. And you think you're going to be able to go over here and be 270 and run up and down without an LA fan? Real Laker fans. Real Laker fans is looking like, yeah, it's Luka, but what the hell? How long we got to wait for this ship to turn around and get on track?

Two years. 2026. They said, we got two years. Shaw, you were the first person in LA to say that. But you're not a Lakers fan. Luka didn't play no defense last year, right? He was just preserving his body.
Starting point is 00:27:56 And he went to the championship. Wait, wait, no. He went to the league when we go. We had a two-way play, huh? We got put out of the first round. Let's swap this shit out. I'll First round. Let's swap this shit out. I'll say this. Let's swap this shit out.

Starting point is 00:28:20 Hey, hey, hey. Don't let him. Don't let him. No, no, no. He ain't fucking me. But I'm just saying, the Super Bowl. And whatever defense he played against in the championship last year, the way I say to you is we good.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Adopt a narrative. Adopt a narrative, Brandon. What do you know what's that? Whatever defense he played last year to get to the championship in the West, play that defense good. I don't know what that is. Offense wins championships. So that's the side that don't play no defense.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Offense wins championships. That's the side of the couch that don't play no defense. Y'all would all agree with each other.. I mean I mean Kyrie I seen Stella They at least play some defense when we went to the championship. We know you're a defense, right? We had a two-time Office and defensive guy we got put out every round for a guy who only plays offense I don't want to hear this narrative for When did the Jokers play defense? We out there busting this nigga ass. Can't even move him.

Your boy just said, we got to the championship without playing defense. That's what he just said. You said Luka.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Luka didn't play defense. Luka, you said. He said he didn't play defense, right? No disrespect. So then how are you going to win a championship? He got to look at Luka's team. LeBron James. We don't have Kyrie.

It has broken Rashad. Oh, man. You don't think Luka can make— No, don't try to—you can't rationalize right now. He's asking questions, brother. He's asking like deep questions, but think about the talent scheme he has.
Starting point is 00:33:03 I know. Listen, listen, the Lakers got him. We don't got to ask those questions. We got him now. He had Jones. We got him now. No, he got Jones. Jones.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Keebler. I didn't even know he was in the trade. Maxi Kluge. P.J. good now, but P.J. was on his way out when he got him. Had to do it. Think about that. Sacrifices need to be made. You're not thinking about Anthony Davis.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Sacrifices needed to be made. I'm sorry. Sacrifices needed to be made. You're not thinking about him. We don't care. You know, I didn't want to think about that.

You know, I didn't want to think about him. You don't get Luca for free. I'm glad Nico didn't think about him.
Starting point is 00:33:31 You don't get Luca for free. I'm so glad Nico didn't think. I thought this thing was on the phone like shit. This reminds me of Marcus Houston when he broke up with Beyonce. You think Jay-Z gave a fuck? What happened after? He started doing 2B movies. Somebody give a fuck about immature doll.

Let's talk about Luca. You know what I'm talking about? Guess he didn't see the future. They got the black spray with a port. Let's talk To see the future
Starting point is 00:34:30 my old work Yeah, we go take you had that and that shit on her lip. Oh, we gonna take it You can have that and her shit on her lip So some out there. Something out there saying the Lakers fleeced the Mavs in this deal, getting a 25-year-old perennial first-team All-NBA player for a soon-to-be 32-year-old with a history of injury issues, a solid young piece in Max Christie, and just one first-round pick, Uno.
Starting point is 00:35:00 In the immediate aftermath of the trade, the Mavs' championship odds decreased and the Lakers increased Despite the Lakers currently having a thin front court with the departure of their all defensive big man So ask you now obviously time will tell but which team appears to have gotten the better deal in this train You can slap me if you want you I want to you can do it better you could do you gotta read everything Can we have a poll is it So guilt for you mentioned that we did ask the chat is it obvious 70% said yes I'm still think Dallas got better, though. If they want to wear it right now, like, they still...
Starting point is 00:35:45 He could be the four-man now. He could do whatever he want to be. Soon when he said that... I mean, they still got clay. They still got pieces over there, bro. He said, I want to be the four, right? So I'm not, like... It's just weird to me, like, y'all celebrating somebody off...
Starting point is 00:35:58 Like, that's the... Like, we didn't want you. We didn't want you. We don't want you. We don't want you. Y'all can have them We don't want you. We don't want you. Y'all can have him. A 25-year-old. Y'all can have him.

Starting point is 00:36:37 Do you know where he went with that lineup last year? I'm talking as far as him getting his body in shape and things like that. He not going to be the same guy. He not going to be the same guy. I don't give a fuck. He not going to be the same guy. How do you lose everything in about five months? How do you lose your hope? You just watch Drake go. You just watch Drake go. Like that. I'm gonna be the same. I don't give a fuck
Starting point is 00:36:52 Five months, how do you do you watch Drake lose everything in five months? What kind of question is that? That's right. That's life.

You gotta walk the street now. Hey, y'all Is this trash you've been trash every sister the motherfucking Disney movie? We got a new Disney character that just blew into town.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Yup. Iron Man changed the goddamn to dudes. Dr. Doom. That's all it was. He left Dallas as Iron Man and he came back to LA as Dr. Doom. That means he's going to tear shit up. He's going to fuck it up. He's going to fuck shit up.
Starting point is 00:38:20 He's going to do some shit. I don't know man, they might have woke up a monster. Yeah, they should. What? So, you didn't know man. They might have woke up a monster So Got a quote from Lucas dad so Lucas dad after the trade went down He said I understand there comes a moment when you disagree with a certain philosophy You don't like this or that player all good I get it, but I think that exactly the secrecy or should I say from some individuals but even hypocrisy
Starting point is 00:38:42 This hurts me personally because I think that Luca absolutely doesn't deserve this Luca did not know about the deal would have resigned with the mass would have spent its entire career in Dallas, of course in theory What it was I decided would he been? Willing to play defense Why you know the best defense is a great off? Yeah, we do look man for me I don't sort of find all the inform him that they're gonna trade him though Yeah, we do look man for me They've been to trade him though
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah No, you nothing they told Anthony Davis because yeah, I'm a trade kicker. Yeah, well he had to go to battle and we saw LeBron he gonna be all his body Winning the championship next year to man. To get their body together. Next year, man. 2026.

Starting point is 00:39:45 If that's the case, what's the point? What's the point? If you can't win with him, how you going to win with him? What you mean? Two different work ethics. Yeah. One is a dog. What's the two?

That's your more and more gay person You think his roleplay is better than the ones you hail boy We got Veda roleplayers is better than the ones in Dallas with with clay and all that with no no Okay, remember he wasn't really what it looks like. We talk my lashes team. That's your team. All right
Starting point is 00:46:25 We don't care. We do not care. We're talking about now. We're talking about his team he went to the championship with and what we got now. All right, but we got a lot more to discuss on this trade. Obviously, one of the biggest trades in NBA history. Let's shift it over to the Mavs side for just a brief moment.
Starting point is 00:46:42 So after reaching the NBA Finals last season for the first time since 2011, the Mavs were expecting big things this season. for just a brief moment. So after reaching the NBA Finals last season for the first time since 2011, the Mavs were expecting big things this season. Season has taken a turn after Luka suffered a calf strain on Christmas, dials to 7-14 with their former franchise player sideline, currently ninth in the West, record of 26-24.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Nico Harrison acknowledged Luka had given no indication that he was unwilling to commit to the franchise for the long term. Harrison also said Mavs' ownership laughed at him when he first pitched the idea of trading Luka Then they got on board with it and as a reminder Mark Cuban sold off a majority stake in the franchise No longer has any control over basketball moves He did try to get that bread. They got a new crew in there. I thought they got some ulterior motives
Starting point is 00:47:23 So yeah,, I know. You think Mark had some ulterior motives? That would never happen if Mark had some. That's what I'm saying. Mark had the last say so, trust me. That's what I'm trying to say. Who saw what? Because if Mark was there, that ain't never happening. So I want to know. Because I was like, Mark is not...
Starting point is 00:47:37 No, Mark, yeah. Gil, what is that you have in your possession? That's that. Oh, wow. Yeah. I told you, man. I'm on the Euros, man. Oh, you got the Euro. Yeah, I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:47:48 I play blue. Yep, yep. Into that, whatever, whatever. This is me now. I'm off them Americans. That's crazy. Zero deal. Damn.
Starting point is 00:48:00 You got to adapt. So... That's crazy. That's what I really respect what you adapt. All right You can bring that negativity to these girls now. They've been running the league Since you've been since you've been away don't come over here and start Nat though, brother Just like with your ship off the buck. No, no, no Jumping ship to no. No, I'm a Laker fan because of Luka. I'm still a Bucks fan.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Like, just Luka, a Euro. Wait, what? But don't come over here with these. Don't come over here with these Euros. Don't come over here with these Euros. We don't need to know why he like the purple and gold. Yeah, this thing he like purple and gold. I like the purple and gold because it's 77.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Because it's 77. Not because of. Never mind. Hey, brother. Oh, hell no. Hey, brother, this is what type of day it is, man. I know, but don't come over here. Don't bring that bad energy, though. Deal with the Casa Negroes.
Starting point is 00:48:54 It's only one Euro. The Casa Negroes. I haven't slept in two days. It's two more Euros. It's two more Euros that can come to LA. Huh? We accepting this. We accepting this.
Starting point is 00:49:02 LeBron James. Yeah. I haven't slept in two days. There's two more year olds that can come to L.A. Huh? We accepting this. We accepting this. Les bronzins. Yeah. Like it or not, he's from Europe now, too. But during a press conference on Sunday,
Starting point is 00:49:18 Nico Harrison was asked about how this move impacts the Mavs for the short and long term and had this to say. You think this will work in the short term and the long term. Short term makes great sense. How do you see this working out well for the organization in the long term? I think the long term is the time frame. I think he fits our time frame. If you pair him with Kyrie and the rest of the guys, he fits right along with our time frame to win now and win in the future.
Starting point is 00:49:41 And the future to me is three, four years from now. The future, ten years from now No, I don't think I they probably bear me and Jay buddy Or we bear ourselves. Yes Jake here couldn't even courtesy I'll let y'all go first go first. Go ahead. So AD under contract until at least 2027 with a player option following that season. But Kyrie has a player option after this season.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Klay has one in 2026. Less than two weeks ago, AD was critical of the Lakers front office for not securing a solid option at the five so he could play his preferred position at the four, power forward. So now he gets his wish, albeit in a new location. So, Sean, we're going to start with you first. We'll start with Kenyon. The bully from Oak Cliff, Dallas native, by way of Saginaw, Michigan.
Starting point is 00:50:33 You know what I'm talking about? You know how to fuck up. I fucked up, but I fixed it. You know what I'm talking about? How much has AD moved the needle for the Mavs this season and the coming years? Well, if I want to get the players' preferred position that he's been asking to play. They made it with, yeah, they made it to the championship
Starting point is 00:50:57 with Luka and that squad last year, so they get better defensively to a certain degree. And people are saying J.K. is not on board with this because of his look in the press conference. That's just J.K. That's just his disposition? Yeah. Former teammate?
Starting point is 00:51:15 J.K. the winner. People that don't know this, like, this man is, like, preaches both sides of the ball, right? He's a complete basketball thought process of a guy, right? Seeing him challenge guys when we were in Milwaukee over the last, that year, in a certain situation. Nah, man, I think he on board with this, man. But, you know, how far does it move the needle
Starting point is 00:51:44 for Dallas and Anthony Davis being there? We'll see. I don't know. I think both sides get something they desired, so we'll see. But Kyrie's a winner. Anthony Davis is a winner. It helps.
Starting point is 00:52:02 J.K. is a winner being over there. So it helps. It really does help. I don't see a decline right now. You're getting rebound and end scoring. Anthony Davis still is 26, 27 a night. Rebound, defending. So, you know, honestly, you're not. If you think about basketball, you're not really losing much.
Starting point is 00:52:27 To be honest. And you're gaining something. So... And you put the ball in Kyrie's hands. And you can trust Kyrie, so... Yeah. Okay. Well, Kane, speaking of not declining,
Starting point is 00:52:40 we currently have almost 73,000 people in the chat right now. 73,000. But no, right now. 73,000. But no, that's not enough. 73 is not enough. That's not enough. More. We need 77 for Luka. We need 77 for Luka. We need 77 for
Starting point is 00:52:58 Luka. Hey, hey, hey. And the lotto right now on Mega Millions is 77 millions. We already hit the number. You feel me, team? And the lotto right now on Mega Millions is 77 million. Yeah! We already hit the number. You feel, Big T? Lucas already blessed us, baby.
Starting point is 00:53:11 45, 47. Well, if you hit that, you're getting by 20. Da, da, da, da, da. Well, if you hit that. 45, 47. Well, if you hit that, you're going to see you coming out the old folks' hole. He said, I saw that.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Pop, pop, pop. That's all about pop. So saw that pop, pop, pop. So how much did AD move the needle for the Mavs? Mavs made the finals last year. Got AD now playing his preferred position at the four. I got Derek Lively, Gafford, some solid options at the five form as well. Kyrie. You got Max Christie coming over too, which I think a lot of people don't appreciate.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Max really coming to his own. You got Max Christie coming over too, which I think a lot of people don't appreciate. Max really coming to his own. You got Klay. Man, you said a lot, right? I think you said all the ingredients to a championship team, things that we're missing. They had two bigs that could play defense and rebound. They didn't have two bigs that could score. They didn't have one big that could score. You got two guards out there, ball dominant, without an actual three man that can go out there and mitigate the offense. So what you go do is you go get a shooter in clay.
Starting point is 00:54:11 You got Kyrie Irving, questionably one of the greatest guards to ever play the game. You got PJ Washington, which is a multi-talented, multi-versatile player. And then you add Anthony Davis, defensive player of the year, candidate, MVP candidate, 28 and 13, some odd, weird, great number. And you say to yourself, what are the chances of us making this move now? You got to have somebody with big ass cojones. I have to applaud Nico because the idea of it only has to be backed up with truth. The truth that Jason Kidd
Starting point is 00:54:56 can only take so much. And he's going to Nico saying, man, listen, man, I don't know how much more of this I could take because we're watching film. And film don't lie And when you watch film and you're trying to figure out why you're losing and it's one thing keep pointing out blaring It's like damn rewind it him again. Damn rewind it him again
Starting point is 00:55:16 Damn rewind it him again Damn rewind it him again Him again Damn damn I'll wish your ass to sleep right now It's upside of here to make you take out this goddamn trash. I got this goddamn trash I just motherfucking dumped out on the court. Come on. Take out this gotta tweak your ass up Nico y'all did the right fucking thing. It's hard to offload some shit that's keeping you down. Keeping you down? That's sick. It's hard.
Starting point is 00:55:48 It's hard work. I had a motherfucker living with me. I had to try to get the fuck out. I couldn't do it. I didn't want to be mean. I wanted to be nice. Shit. How come every time we're in the arena, you're in the arena?
Starting point is 00:56:00 With a goddamn refrigerator. Yeah, it's sending a message to all the players. All the players. All the superstars? Yes, you are not off limits. Yes, that definitely does. We to all the players. All the players. All the superstars? Yes, you are not off limits. Yes, that definitely does. We surprised all y'all for this. No.
Starting point is 00:56:10 No. No. Because all them GMs ain't built like that. So, let's talk about- Built like what? Built like Nico. Like, to make that decision in real time. I mean, that's a-
Starting point is 00:56:19 Right? And J.K. would be winning. And J.K. would be winning. Right? To make that decision? Shit. No, everybody ain't built like that, bruh. So let's talk about the long-term ramifications of that move. Everybody just gonna look at them and be like, yeah, I'm finna do this shit.
Starting point is 00:56:32 So Harrison... Right? No. As I mentioned before, Harrison said that Luka received no warning in advance about the trade, and Harrison's calls and texts to Luka after the trade was announced went unanswered. Can you say that the thing that Nico said, the reasons why? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:49 The reasons why they traded? Just the main one. Yeah, the main reason. I'm reading it for you. He said, I believe that defense wins championships. Stop. That's it. End quote.
Starting point is 00:56:57 They just lost the championship. Listen, they just lost the championship. No, end quote. And he just said, we believe this. They didn't have the chance to beat us. They didn't have the chance to beat us. In order for us to truly win that game, that series, we need to win that game. We need to win that game. We need to win that game. We need to win. And he just said, we believe this.
Starting point is 00:57:05 In order for us to truly win that game, that series, we need to play defense. Even if he did play defense, they wasn't beating Boston. They wasn't beating Boston. They wasn't beating Boston. No, I'm not saying that we would have, but he just. I had a better chance. Come on, one more K, chat. 77 for Luka.
Starting point is 00:57:21 That's all. We 420. I don't think they, because if you really. Boston, well, I'm saying we're hoopers, right? We think about the game in totality, right? If you really break it down, what all Anthony Davis brings to the table, when available. When he's out there. What's the key word you said? Well, it goes for both of them, too.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Yes, it does. So. Luca is preserving his body for okay, when it went available Anthony Davis is one of if not What not three the top three big in the NBA so but now we got little era heist Luca Say yeah, what is Luca as what top? Top three point guards, okay Luca way maker top three playmaker in the NBA, right? So, okay, I'll give you that.
Starting point is 00:58:12 But if we're thinking about winning and what the head coach and the organization think about winning, and for you to present it to the ownership and them laugh, it's like, hey. Yeah. Did you hear the other part, though? 340 who? There's another part?
Starting point is 00:58:30 340 what? There was another team that got offered the same trade and they said, nah, we good. Yeah. Allegedly, because I doubt that. Of course you would doubt it, but how bad does it sound? It's for another name, too, probably. No, what I'm saying is I doubt it because they said
Starting point is 00:58:44 I think they were shopping quiet You think this is the only team they call? Yes, I think so you would One of the goddess because the person that declined it would have said Lucas on the mark sort of why would he say that? I already said I didn't get out and this is his best friend. Yeah, this is his best friend This is only one conversation. I think they called Milwaukee and was like What you know no no no no not that ain't called doc. I'm saying ain't called doc. They call Luca in the chat man So you think they call for Dame?

We don't know his relationship, how he is with people, if he an asshole to people, if he treating people like shit. You don't know those things, so we don't know.

Starting point is 01:05:37 if Luka is the softest Laker superstar ever, just to really give him that nudge. Nah, we traded for him. He's not a Laker no more. So according to ESPN, after the Lakers and Mavs agreed to the trade late Saturday night, Rob Palenka made three calls. One, two, three. The first, a
Starting point is 01:05:53 joint call with AD and JJ Redick. Say goodbye. Second was a call to AD's agent, Rich Paul, who was also LeBron's agent. Shout out Rich Paul. Friend of the arena.

He was balling against the Knicks. We're going to talk about that later in the show because we still got to show him love for that. They're gonna play like, you know, 21 again. So in the immediate aftermath...
Starting point is 01:06:28 Move the dummy! Boom! In the immediate aftermath of the trade being announced, LeBron's first tweet was directed at an NBA reporter who claimed the AD trade went down because LeBron had grown frustrated with him. LeBron responded with the following. He said, You a fucking lie.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Clown emoji. On Sunday, LeBron posted this message to AD on his IG story. This was heartfelt message. Said, love you my dog. Go crazy over there. Woe for life. See you soon.

Starting point is 01:09:45 The Lakers had a game, I believe. What that Thursday? He didn't play huh? He left in the first quarter They stepped down the first one. He left with a Alleged alleged admin tree. Ah So do you believe LeBron had no prior knowledge of this trade and found out Saturday night after the next game LeBron knows nothing.

We need a hundred in the chat Luca bra combo. That was good. That was good.
Starting point is 01:13:26 I know math. I was praying for this day Swag. I was praying for this day. Carry the... Carry the... People in the chat doing this. Child, you were like somebody at the store. You know that exact chain. They try to figure out
Starting point is 01:13:42 how much change to give you back. What are you doing got you do it. Yeah, come on Let it go you keep that dollar in 16 cents give me back Use it for your cigarette give me a dollar you It's three dollars serious question three First time in his career He's not the man. He's still the man. It's still brown, but he's not the man man
Starting point is 01:14:07 So what does this move say about the Lakers no longer being on the bronze timeline and looking towards the future? Or do you feel like they're looking towards the now? It's 2026 a year Yes, you're 23. So they make so if they make another move now then that year to get one next year. Yes, you're 23 Oh, so if they make so if they make another move now, then that then he's gonna be this year. Okay It depends on where they give him LeBron his fifth champion before he leaves 1000% they gonna try all the motherfuckers talking about LeBron about the y'all crazy as shit
Starting point is 01:14:40 They trying to give him his fifth championship now before he retired. They're gonna try. They bringing in the number one option so he can go to number two and I wouldn't be surprised if they go get a number two to make him run to number three. I got a basketball question. I have a basketball question. I heard that. Hey, I have a basketball question.
Starting point is 01:15:01 We're gonna talk about basketball. This whole show. I have a basketball question. We're gonna talk about basketball. We're gonna talk about basketball. This whole show? Yeah. I have a basketball question for you guys. So, from a guy that's had the ball in his hand for 20 years. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I think this man said it back in the day.
Starting point is 01:15:20 Move around! I'm just asking. Hey, man, you can... Do you think it's going to be a conflict? No, never. Never. Especially at this age. He not...
Starting point is 01:15:31 Just like Kyrie had it. So what is he... He's not... So he's slowing down, so he going to have to play in transition? Yeah, he going to turn into D-Wade. It's always coming around. He could turn into D-Wade. He not a spot-up shooter like that.
Starting point is 01:15:42 He make shots... He not a spot-up shooter like that. I'm thinking because they both... What was the main problem this whole time? That we didn't have a number one player. But somebody... A different... A different kind of number one player.
Starting point is 01:15:55 And we didn't have somebody who can create their own offense in half court. So the fact that we have one now, he has... It's like Kyrie, right? A guy who can make his shots at the end, create for others. Now, LeBron don't have to really do much. It can take that pressure off so he can hold his energy. He wasn't doing shit anyway. We didn't have one.
Starting point is 01:16:16 He wasn't playing no fucking defense. Who? LeBron. You don't fucking know defense, man. All that defense bullshit he talking about. Man. Goddamn. I don't say that shit for the ADT. Fuck. Shit. Them ass defense shit. I am saying that he's talking about a goddamn

They was killing me last week for that. He just said the same thing I just said. How long has LeBron come for? So, LeBron, let me pull it up for you. The interview is over. The interview is over. And they were saying it's our cousin they was killing me but no we don't believe it They was killing me last week for that
Starting point is 01:22:07 So LeBron, let me pull it off for you the NBA does not have a face that's American that can hold weight LeBron has a Now the Europeans are forced to go to big markets to hold the way for them When is John is that is that is that what's going on this is the that. Hey, when is Giannis up? Is that what's going on? Giannis, enter the group, bro. Yes.

Talk about that deep is a shit about that mouth We need 85k in the chat we get the Laker sweet you can pull up on it never seen an all defensive team Where your Luka jersey. You never seen that shit win besides the band. Woo-wee. So let's talk about a larger—
Starting point is 01:25:52 I'm going to be quiet so if Chad can come back in the chat, right? Chad's coming—Kashaw, you don't come to the game. I'm going to be quiet now. We're going to get you your own sweep. I'm going to be quiet now. We're going to get you your own sweep. We don't need that energy in our team. You said you've never seen an all-five defensive team win?
Starting point is 01:26:04 Boston last year? They all five didn't play defense? I think two of them just scored a lot of points. Yeah, I think. They got more points than the Bucs. They had to go get a defender, right? They got Drew Holiday, didn't they? Hey, man, you played defense.
Starting point is 01:26:16 Come on over here, man. All five played defense. Make us look good. I got to put these Bucs in. I get paid to put these Bucs up in there. So let's keep it moving. Luca A.D. Trey trace it was that Detroit, right? Detroit off I play defense
Starting point is 01:26:31 No My god maybe car rip that was not out of silver Straight a voicemail and you say you ain't played Rip. Straight to voicemail. Hey, Gil, say you ain't play no defense. Straight to voicemail. Hey, Chants. I think last year's team, Austin team, all five players. Hey, Chants. They shine.
Starting point is 01:26:51 Say y'all ain't play no defense. No, we did not say Tayshaun. Chee. Nope. Chee. I didn't say Tayshaun. Y'all ain't play no defense. You heard him.
Starting point is 01:26:58 We said whole team. I said all five players play no defense. And Lindsey Hunter. He was on the bench. And Nim. He was on the bench. And Nim. He was on the bench.
Starting point is 01:27:04 Y'all ain't play no defense. No, we didn on a bench. Y'all ain't play no defense. No, we didn't say that. He said the starting five. He said rip only. So I'll stop talking about defense. Y'all don't know nothing about defense. Let's talk about the bigger ramifications of this trade around the league. All five, like this.
Starting point is 01:27:14 So Luka AD trade sent shockwaves around the league and the basketball world. So Twitter was buzzing with players reacting to the news. In real time, we have some of the tweets right here. All stunned by what most thought was an unthinkable move. Yeah, they scared me. Jalen Burch said, April Fool's right. Then he said, holy shit. And who are these people?
Starting point is 01:27:32 Tyler Hero said, what the fuck? Alex Caruso said, nah, Sean's got to be hacked. Tyrese Maxey said, huh? If you can hide, you can hear. Josh Harsha said, huh? Look how scared these niggas are. Look how scared they are. Joel Embiid was so excited.
Starting point is 01:27:46 He said, no f-way No f-way to be next you But we all could beat you is So sons and Blazers were in the midst of their game on Saturday night when the Like I won't joke on we got video of their reaction as well Let's take a look at what went down in the Suns' Blazers game. So you see the Blazers first. DeAndre Ayton hopped up like, what?
Starting point is 01:28:12 He's gone. The Lakers, if they win it. They had to come to the Lakers. They had to. Yeah, now Matisse is up there chasing them. Matisse is not going to hit them. We got no clue what's going on. Let's ask Andy Moore.
Starting point is 01:28:21 They scared. We also got Katie and Bill's reaction. They were on the bench with the phone. Katie like, wow. Yeah. You next, Kevin. You next. We got Reeves, Rui, and Gabe Vincent for you, brother.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Look at him. Good move. Good move. So Kevin Durant, no stranger to a blockbuster midseason trade. We know he got dealt by the Nets and the Suns back in 2023. After the Suns-Blazers game, KD had this reaction to the Luka AD trade and the ramifications it could have for other stars and teams around the league. It's insane, man.
Starting point is 01:28:58 It's crazy. Crazy. Yeah, I would have never thought Luka Doncic would get traded at this age. Mid-season, NBA is a wild place, man. If he can get traded, then anybody's up. Players are held to a different standard of loyalty and commitment to a program. But the organizations don't get held to that same standard from the outside world,
Starting point is 01:29:29 whether it's from media members or fans. And we all should be held to that same standard. It's a transactional game. There's a lot of money involved, a lot of business involved too. So we shouldn't be too shocked about trades, guys moving to different teams, coaches moving to different teams, coaches moving
Starting point is 01:29:45 to different teams. It's just the nature of having, playing basketball and us making this much money and all too. So it's pretty wild times man, NBA, especially around trade deadlines. I know everybody's going to be watching their phone the next few weeks, next week. You think it'll force other teams to do something big? For sure. For sure. For sure. I mean, when you start seeing stuff like that, as an organization, you might get a little
Starting point is 01:30:13 bit more courage from some stuff. When you see another team trade away somebody like that, this guy would be the biggest trade I'd say since I've been in the league or since I've been watching the sport. This is insane. So, yeah, every other team might get confidence and say, fuck it, I don't trade my players. A few of my top players, fuck it, this ain't working. But yeah, I'm still shocked. Hopefully one of those teams is the Phoenix Suns. But in the aftermath, we saw the Kings,
Starting point is 01:30:44 Spurs, and Bulls complete a three-team trade sending the air Fox to San Antonio the team of Wimby Zach Levine to the Kings to reunite with DeMar DeRozan. We'll have more on that later in this show Not they will get thirsty. We only have one more thing to discuss before we get a trade. Yeah, when Fuck All right, dude. That shit happened. The fuck? Wait, Zach is winning? That was another trade? Wait, Zach is winning? We'll talk about it later, but back to the biggest midseason trade in NBA history.
Starting point is 01:31:13 The fuck happened? The fuck happened? So like KD said, will the Luka AD trade start a ripple effect around the league with stars and superstar players and teams trying to make moves to win now? Like we said, we already saw it with the De'Aaron Fox move. We got the trade deadline on Thursday, 12 p.m.
Starting point is 01:31:27 We will be in the arena to cover it. So you trade your best player, and that heightens your chances to win? Okay. Okay. Help me out. Help me out. Keep on trading them. Come on. We want everybody. Trade your best player to win? Okay.
Starting point is 01:31:43 It just doesn't make sense. This is a one-off. We get it. Treat your best player to win. Okay. It just doesn't make sense. This is a one-off. We get it. And we appreciate it. We're not going to question what's wrong with him. Trust us. We'll fix it. We don't need the car fat.
Starting point is 01:31:55 Listen, we got it. We got everything. He's here to become a better man. We got Rosetta Stone. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here.

He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. He can learn English real quick over here. But this is LA he's engaged engage. Oh, that's over we need you Look if you want to break the gills arena color barrier for Europe See what happened? The Luca effect. The Luca effect. That's for Luca.
Starting point is 01:32:47 That's for Luca. It's black history, but it's a little blended a little bit. The fuck you want? What the fuck you want? The Luca effect. No, no, I forgot. I forgot. Usually in February, we really all black shit right now. Yeah, black out. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:08 Last night in the family, all black. But Saturday, we cool. We back. We cool. We back. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, back there. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:33:17 Oh, man. Promoted. This is the funniest. So let's talk about what happened before the trade. So before Luka, AD, Blockbuster trade, LeBron and the Lakers pulled up to MSG to take on the Knicks, who are one of the hottest teams in the league in the midst of a five-game winning streak. But even at 40 years old, LeBron showed why he's still the man in the garden. So LeBron messed around, dropped another triple-double.
Starting point is 01:33:41 33 points, 11 rebounds, 12 dimes. Luka coming. That was tough. He knew something. rebounds, 12 dimes. Luka coming. That was tough. He knew something. He was like, this Luka move right here. Luka move. There it is. Oh, he'll be here next week.
Starting point is 01:33:52 He'll be like, ooh. He'll be here by Monday. Luka, step back. Yeah. So, Brian had 33 points, 11 rebounds, 12 dimes. Team effort for the Lakers, though. Austin Reeves putting up 27 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals. Look at that.
Starting point is 01:34:04 One leg? That ain't the Luka? The one leg wasn't the Luka. The Luka. The Reeves was four for seven from deep, nine for nine from the line. Rui Atramora added 21 points in eight of 12 shooting. Dorian Finney-Smith, a.k.a. Black and Mild, 15 points off the bench, five for six from three. And in his last game as a Laker, Max Christie had 15 points on six of ten shooting. I wasn't going to read the Knicks stats, but they lost. So with the game in hand, in under two minutes remaining, it was Bronny time. Bronny sealed the Lakers win with a clutch left-handed layup.
Starting point is 01:34:33 That was Bronny right there? You thought it was Bronny, see? It was hard to tell. Got a standing ovation. And Shannon. So LeBron and Bronny became the first father-son duo in league history to score in the Garden in the same game on the first day of Black History Month. Oh.
Starting point is 01:34:48 A record that will never be broken. It's a score. It's a score. LeBron improved to 13-1 in his last 14 games in MSG, 23-8 in his career, while also becoming the first 40-year-old to drop a triple-double in the Garden. LeBron's 10th triple-double this season,
Starting point is 01:35:02 fourth triple-double of his career in the Mecca of basketball. After the game, he had this to say about cooking the Knicks once again. Yeah, you knew what day it was. I don't know why you agreed to cook. No, but y'all act like every 40-year-old that played this game ain't sucked before him.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Like, everything that he fucking do as a 40-year-old that's above fucking scoring 25 points is fucking amazing. Yeah. Yeah, it is. Like, goddamn, every 40-year-old, every other 40-year-old that was able to last this long basically came in that motherfucking wheelchair. Yes. So before we show the LeBron sound, a reminder.
Starting point is 01:35:33 You have 15 minutes to go on Underdog and get our special. Luka, 77%. Yeah. Profit. Somebody says LeBron has the highest scoring average. He's the only player in a be a league history that every 28 6 and 6 at the guard. No shit Like it's like no shit average numbers. Yeah. Yeah very average for him So after the game LeBron has this to say he's in a basketball play has been there forever
Starting point is 01:36:00 Brian had this to say about cooking the Knicks yet again. I Have no idea. I'm still doing this, Lisa. We don't either. Matt Bob's giving me some great gifts. I'm trying to take full advantage of it. I put all the work, all the dedication into the game, and it's given me so much. So I have no idea how I'm still doing this at this level. It's between me and you.
Starting point is 01:36:19 Are we going to see you back here at Madison Square Garden again? Possibly. Possibly. Look how happy, possibly. We'll see. Look how happy he was. You'll see in a minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, possibly. You're gonna see. Waited one hour.

Starting point is 01:36:53 So we got to talk about these Lakers, though. 2019. Everybody acting like this Luka move. They're still not trying to win now. Playing very well. Inspired basketball. What statement did LeBron and the Lakers make by beating the Knicks in the Garden without AD, who we now know was on his way to Dallas?
Starting point is 01:37:09 AD, not on the way. Ain't gonna lie, that was a nice move by Bronny right there, though. Mm. Nice move. We'll see after the All-Star break. That was a nice move. I was really thinking about that.
Starting point is 01:37:22 That was a nice move. That's, uh, it's a look at that. Yeah, I was, yeah. I wasn't going to come to work today. And the Knicks was at full strength. They're trying their hardest. Yeah, they was at full strength. For them to go in there and get that win.
Starting point is 01:37:37 Yeah, it's impressive. Man, it's hard. Throw a win against a full strength Knicks team. Shot, you're already in the Knicks, man. Right before All-Star break. This is road trip now. It could easily have went the other way. Like road trip right before All-Star break.
Starting point is 01:37:53 Dog days. Grammy road trip. But when you playing with, like, excitement, it's a different feeling. Yeah, obviously. Or the Knicks ain't what we think they are No, no, no you good you good can't he said I said it he good cuz I think once in a fight I don't think those are look uncomfortable saying no, I'm just stating the facts black man look uncomfortable my sure black man I'm just saying just facts, black man.

Starting point is 01:38:51 But look at that defense right there. Ain't the Knicks like the all defensive team or something? Did you just say you didn't want to talk about defense?

Starting point is 01:44:57 But he shot a perfect 100% from the field in this game. He's never missed a shot he's taken at the guard. Like has been the case throughout arenas around the league, Bronny received chants from the Knicks home crowd in the second half and was given a rousing ovation at the check in the game with a little under two minutes to play. So, Gil, I'll ask you first. Is Bronny the new king of New York?
Starting point is 01:45:17 You got to stand in ovation. We want Bronny. We want Bronny. We want Bronny! Dum dum dum dum dum. We want Bronny! Dum dum dum dum dum. Yeah! Yeah! This has never happened before. Never got a bench player called. What?
Starting point is 01:45:36 Never had a bench player called. There's a lot of tension on this side of the couch. We're going to stick together. Bronny! So Bronny King and New York Reset. New King. You're saying media versus the fans. Body weight, all that shit. The fans is telling you who they like them.
Starting point is 01:45:54 I mean, the fans are supporting the young fellas. So yeah, they did say they wanted Bronny. I didn't hear anybody from this get a chance. Yeah. Oh, that's hard. Tyra Croft, Spike Lee, a lot of Chris team. Oh, that's hard. Yeah. Oh, that's hard. Tyra Croft, Spike Lee, Chris Rock.
Starting point is 01:46:07 A lot of people take their kids to the game, man. Yeah. Them kids, man. Oh, yeah. A lot of fucking kids in the arena, man. That's what it is, too. Spike Lee was saying in his head. Kids want to see the moment of Bron and Bron on the court together.
Starting point is 01:46:17 A lot of kids that been on there and played video games. What? Listen, man, he has a following that we don't understand, because we old fucks. Yeah. Right, he has his own following outside of that. So walking to the next trap, took over their trap. I ain't going to go that fucking far, Josiah. Now stop this shit. I mean, no, no, we've seen it.
Starting point is 01:46:38 Let the kid be the 55th pick. His son played on the team. We've seen that. See, that's the shit he be doing, see? Yeah, let the fucking kid be the 55th be doing. See, that's the fucking kid. Then they cry wolf when motherfuckers criticize. You want to glorify all the shit, and then we start talking shit about the bad guys,
Starting point is 01:46:53 and then you get to, why you wouldn't talk bad about this? See, this is how y'all treat the kids. Man, this shit crazy. Y'all got so much disrespect. Y'all wouldn't put another guy's number over this kid's number. Over his number.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Like, y'all fucking terrible. Okay. Hold on not another guy Luca don't you? It'll go back to a brownie Jersey after this show. They still abroad Have you seven enough nothing wrong with that both? Either way Let him be the 55th pick Good moment in the garden God got him a bucket in the garden. Let that be the moment But then like the man stated when somebody wanted y'all want to talk about he 55th pick now let him be the 55th pick man
Starting point is 01:47:33 Because y'all do know somebody post somebody went deep deep deep deep fucking dive and about stats, right? And it's unfortunate that somebody did it to him but I'm saying like don't like just let him be the 55th pick. That's what I'm saying. Stats. No, but they say he has the worst shooting percentage in NBA history. Cool, but that don't you-
Starting point is 01:47:51 So let him be the 55th pick. I'm saying let, you know, I'm the one to defend him, right? If he the 55th pick, that record don't matter. I've always defended him, right? And I'm going to continue to defend him. Let him be the 55th pick, right? So let the kid be the 55th pick, man. I don't- Yeah, but his- I'm happy. When he get in the game and he do well, right? Mm-hmm. So let the kid be the 55th pick, man. I don't...
Starting point is 01:48:05 Yeah, but that... I'm happy. When he get in the game and he do well, I'm happy for him. You know what I'm saying? Like, for sure, but... Whatever stat they put out ain't gonna stop fans from cheering. Not... Ain't gonna stop the kids from cheering.
Starting point is 01:48:14 My point exactly. My point exactly. You know what I'm saying? So he's the 55th pick with the layup, without it, with the shooting percentage without it. Them kids fucking love him. The point I'm making exactly. Yep. They gonna fucking love him.
Starting point is 01:48:24 So let that be the narrative still. You know what I like don't we still let's not do that to him because we not We we we different here. We're not gonna Do that to him like everything let him be who he is that as the 55th pick right? because it's Yeah, we're not gonna for one person. I'm not a hop on the bandwagon whether it's something somebody post some good back I'm not the hop on the bandwagon. Whether somebody posts something good or bad, I'm not the hop on the bandwagon either way. You know what I'm saying? And I think of that of us.
Starting point is 01:48:50 We're not going to do that to that kid, man. Let him be that. Let him be the 55th pick and enjoy it. If he gets time where we can start talking about him regularly in a more positive light because he's playing better, yeah, we're going to fucking do it. But he has his own shit. Like, that following, them kids in that motherfucking,
Starting point is 01:49:08 that garden, them kids starting that. And then you got some adults that still, they fans as well. So, yeah, it's a happy moment for a man in the garden to get your name chanted. I'm surprised. And nothing like that place getting your name chanted. You know what I'm surprised of?
Starting point is 01:49:23 To be honest, with the money side of who he is, the business side, I'm surprised Nike didn't drop a shoe. Yeah. I'm really surprised. Father, son, and class.
Starting point is 01:49:36 That'll be hard. No, just a signature shoe for him. Just one. Yeah, just one. Just one. He ain't got no basketball. Because you already know
Starting point is 01:49:42 the motherfucking kids is buying Brian's shoes. They gonna buy it. For sure. Absolutely gonna buy it. They don't got no basketball. Because you already know the motherfucking kids is buying Brian's shoes. Yeah, they're going to buy it. Absolutely going to. They don't give a fuck about none of these. The way they buy Josh's shit? Yeah. They're going to buy it.
Starting point is 01:49:52 Because they look at him, he's a younger version. Like a dope colorway? Like a walking shoe. A walking shoe. Brian could probably pitch that to them. They got something in the works, of course. Like this. I'm surprised. It's a lot of hard. No, I'm very surprised. Somebody works, of course. Like this. I'm surprised.
Starting point is 01:50:05 I'm very surprised. Somebody said, hell no. Y'all just don't get it. Y'all digging stats, man. There's not a reason. There's a reason that he sold, what, 500? How many jerseys did the man sell? 50 million dollars worth of jerseys.
Starting point is 01:50:13 So to the point that we're making, right? You can't tell our kids nothing, right? I have a six-year-old in me. Right? My son said that. I have a six-year-old in me. I'm like, what? I'm like, what?
Starting point is 01:50:21 I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like, what? I'm like I can't tell our kids nothing right?

Starting point is 01:50:59 We met Bronny. I was like. The kids don't look at all those stats. They don't care about no stats, man. They care about just that's the person. It's going to be the same thing again. He's nice. He plays video games just like me.
Starting point is 01:51:08 It's going to be the same thing again at summer league next year. He's going to play better. He's going to get more burn. There's going to be a sellout in that bitch again. There's going to be another circus. Yeah. And we will be there. So, but, no, yeah, man.
Starting point is 01:51:20 Anytime you get in the game, man, let's, on this couch for sure. Let's treat him at the field as the 55th.

But let's get back to this De'Aaron Fox, Zach LaVine trade. So Spurs currently 12th in the West, 21 and 25, two games behind the Kings for the final playing spot.
Starting point is 02:00:40 How dangerous is this Fox-Wimby duo, Rashad? And do you think that the Spurs can make some noise now with this move? Did not have to give up Stephon Castle, as we talked about on this show. Or Vassell. Hmm? Or Vassell. Or Johnson. Still got CB3.
Starting point is 02:00:57 Hmm. Harrison Barnes. Still got Harrison Barnes. Still got some... Socon. Draft capital. What's his name? Sohan?

Starting point is 02:01:42 What the fuck you talking about? He said Luca Rice. He don't like that. If I laugh at my own joke, it's going to be funny, too. What the fuck you talking about? I can laugh at all my jokes and we can all laugh. What you talking about? What you talking about, Nick? Stop playing with me, man. You keep playing with me over there. You think it's a game.
Starting point is 02:02:01 You trying to help your boy. I know I get it. Stop doing you fucking with me here. I know what you doing. I know help your boy. I know I get it. Stop doing you fucking with me here. I don't know what you're doing. He said, know what you're doing. Know what you're doing. What fellow been looking? Follow, be careful.
Starting point is 02:02:15 I know what you're doing. So you said the trade, who? Sacramento? Let me read the trade details. You said they traded somebody from Sacramento Kings. De'Aaron Fox. Hey, dude, we have De'Aaron Fox's tweet. So let me set it up first.
Starting point is 02:02:33 Do you want to hear the DeMar sound too or just the tweet? What? Do you want to hear what you said about DeMar to set up the tweet or just the tweet? Okay, so Gil, back in July after DeMar DeRozan signed with the Kings instead of the Lakers, as we had hoped, you offered this analysis on DeMar's decision and also the city of Sacramento. Oh, I remember this. It's funny to call DeMar, man.
Starting point is 02:02:53 Like, don't you like big cities, bro? You keep going to these weak-ass cities, man. San Antonio, man, Chicago cold. You're going down to Hicksville. What are the fucking cows in stank, ugly city? Like, Chicago cold. Are you going down to Hicksville? What are the cows in stank, ugly city like they ranked? No, I mean, the city is trash. He ranked number one
Starting point is 02:03:13 and people just being ugly over there. No, that's a fact. That's not a city you want to be in. Bingo players out there. Play bingo. Bingo players are nice over Play bingo. Played in SAC. Bingo players are starting to work. They ranked number one. He's 38 and older.
Starting point is 02:03:30 They got top 38. Sacramento's trash. They ranked number one in ugliest people in America. I don't know how that worked, but they ranked them. Must be the dudes because the workers. This is crazy. You didn't want to come home to L.A. Nah, hell nah.
Starting point is 02:03:44 So naturally, the good people of Sactown took offense to those comments, said it's on-site if you pull up to our state's capital. A fine city, in my opinion, seven chilies in the metropolitan area. As you guys know, I am a restaurant connoisseur, a big fan of Americana. But you also got a response from Darren'Aaron Fox to those comments. Let's see the tweet that De'Aaron put up. It says, Chicago is the third most populated city in the country and San Antonio is
Starting point is 02:04:11 top ten, by the way. Laughing emoji, laughing emoji. Coincidentally, Gil, all three of those cities you named were involved in this three-team trade. So he went to a populated city, not a populous city, but what did I say that they were gonna do to him? What'd you say, Gil? The city couldn't afford him?
Starting point is 02:04:33 You just said that. So there was no way he was gonna make, what, an all NBA team to sign that Supermax? To sign that Supermax. You have said that repeatedly. Where's his ass at now? He is in San Antonio, the home of the Spurs. Current residence of Victor Wimbinyama. Is he going to be a Supermax player this year? Okay. Does not look as such.
Starting point is 02:04:54 He can still get it? No. What am I saying? They did not want to pay him, right? Because they got too many contracts signed. It was Sacramento, and they can't afford those type of contracts. They are not a big city. They are not.
Starting point is 02:05:11 But De'Aaron has one year remaining on his deal. But do they do this deal if we don't get Luka? No, they were doing a deal anyway. They couldn't afford him. You can't have that guy make all NBA. Your city can't afford them. You can't have that guy make all NBA. Your city can't afford it. You're not the Lakers.
Starting point is 02:05:30 You're not Boston. You're not New York. You're not San Fran. Your city doesn't demand that type of... Do you think they got confidence to do this after we got Luka? Yes.
Starting point is 02:05:46 They wasn't about to push the gun go when he didn't sign that contract. They were planning to move him the whole time Hmm, I think it I think he's in a good situation though. Yeah playing with Wimby Yeah, a lot of his games that we wasn't seeing this acronym. We about to see Yeah, all right We're gonna sell some shit. We're small time. Yeah, we man. You got to win in small cities, man. Yep. Win big. You think Fox— You got to win the championship. You got to win Milwaukee, the Denver's, the small cities.
Starting point is 02:06:09 You got to win the championship, man. So you think Fox signs an extension now, or best on himself with Wimby thinks he can make All-NBA next season, playing with a generational talent and victory, Wimby Yama? Still San Antonio, man. Unfortunately. Yeah, it don't matter.
Starting point is 02:06:21 What do you do out there? With Wimby, still San Antonio. Tim Duncan won five championships, and his shoes the night sail. Old Navy. So, I'm gonna ask you a question. So, is all the players just supposed to be chasing big cities? No, not chasing them. No, he can win.
Starting point is 02:06:35 Now, you have to win in them small cities. How many big cities are there to play in? No, they're only... Five. About five. How many players are y'all talking about need to go to big cities? Okay. You can win, like... I'm talking one of them small cities,
Starting point is 02:06:49 so it matters, right? So you have to win in them small cities. Like, people wasn't... Like, Milwaukee couldn't afford Giannis before they won. Right?
Starting point is 02:07:00 There was no way they could have got Dame if they hadn't won a championship. Right? Antonio did that because they won and people knew that. So you have to be able to win in them small markets. But we keep pushing this.
Starting point is 02:07:11 You got to be in a big city. You got to be in a big market. And it's only five. For certain people, yeah. Yeah. But the certain people we talking about is more than five. We keep talking about why you ain't go to this. Why you ain't go here.
Starting point is 02:07:22 Because that number has grown over the years. Winning is winning, though. It is, but that number of people... The number of top 10 players of all time. The people that can benefit from some of these big cities, they've been in small markets. Magic or stuff. Magic or stuff. No matter how you name it,
Starting point is 02:07:39 those names would have touched all big markets besides Tim Duncan. Tim Duncan is the only small market guy who's in the top ten. Everybody else, and most of everybody's top ten is Lakers. Right? If you're talking about LeBron, he's a Laker now. You talk about Kobe Laker. Talk about Kareem Laker.
Starting point is 02:08:00 You talk about Shaq. Magic. They're big cities. Chicago, big city. Bird, big city. Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell. It's big city. If you look at the top
Starting point is 02:08:15 50 of all time when they did the list, most of those players on that team was 76ers, Chicago, Boston, Lakers. Right? That was San Fran, right? You're talking about out of the top 50 when they first started.
Starting point is 02:08:38 Shit, 40 of them was big city guys. No, I mean, the big city is always going to win. You're popularized. You're pushed more. NBA's in a good position right now with Luka going to Luka. I mean it's like playing for Dallas, right? If you play for the Dallas Cowboys, it hits different. It just does. There's just certain things. If you play for the Yankees, it hits different. It hits different when you don't win. You're in a big market. You're in a big market and you don't win. Oh, yeah trash says ooh the expectation How many Jim the expectations of you?
Starting point is 02:09:12 Denver and Milwaukee just two small market teams in the last five years that won championship no one gave a fuck Yeah, what is the three-time MVP? He can't sell a shoe for shit. We don't even know what you're speaking If we mad is amount of people Speak for yourself was a masses. Speak for yourself. The Warriors was a small market team when we were young. At first, yeah, at first. So, it's four markets. So, Cleveland was, too.
Starting point is 02:09:32 So, Cleveland was, too. Cleveland was, too. Oakland was. Was Cleveland? Yes, Cleveland was. Cleveland? Cleveland still is. So, you're considering the Warriors small market, right?
Starting point is 02:09:41 So, that would be Cleveland before they won. Before they won. Before they won. So, when they won, did before that before they won before so when they went I didn't even know when they won. San Francisco became the big mark when they were open either about 10. It was small, right? Yes, okay, cool. So all these small market tell you sky for the last 10 years in the league Who was having thrive after the championship is still not a big is the Ohio? Yeah, it's a small market team They never turn into a big Ohio. Yeah, it's a small market team They never turn
Starting point is 02:10:08 Where's the Chicago Cleveland ever turned into a big market? small market area Championships. Yes, so did Steph Curry. So did Yannis. So did All these players played a small markets. They won championships. They did, and no one cared. Everyone cared. LeBron made his name when he went where? Everyone cared.
Starting point is 02:10:29 LeBron became what when he went where? Chris Bosh became what when he went where? Chris Bosh was a kill in Toronto. No one gave a fuck. Everybody who watches basketball gave a fuck. You never gave a fuck because you never watched it. I'm telling everybody that they didn't give a fuck because you didn't give a fuck. Kenyon, a fuck because you never watched it. Kenyon. I'm telling everybody that they didn't give a fuck
Starting point is 02:10:46 because you didn't give a fuck. Kenyon, am I right? That's so weird. When did Boss name become, when it started hitting me? When he got to Miami. It's a group thing, man. It's somebody telling everybody
Starting point is 02:10:54 how to think, man. I don't agree. Of course you don't. I don't agree. We get it. I don't group them. I don't, I ain't saying you. I ain't part of the herd.
Starting point is 02:11:01 I'm saying like, man, it's like, it's like, the world said this. The world didn't say that. You said it. No, the world says it. Like, I'm logical. I didn't say you. I ain't part of the herd. I'm saying, like, man, it's like, the world said this. The world didn't say that. You said it. No, the world says it. Like, I'm logical. I didn't say the world says it.
Starting point is 02:11:09 So the logical part of it is, CB4? Chris Boss? CB4. Do you know who he was? Yes. We know who he was. We know who he was, and we know what he came from. Basketball players know, but when you go to a big market,
Starting point is 02:11:22 It would have been an all-star every year. All-star every year. When he cut his motherf motherfucking hair this we cut them dreads. Oh, no, you don't remember what dress Who was he before he got them if you know who you know all these cool before they got to there and did they just Can you can you can you can you speak to him? No? I'm gonna speak to me. I was there. I watch I got my own two eyes Nobody need the influence or tell me what I've seen I watched. Yeah, like without the dunk contest Vince Popularity doesn't become what it is without the dunk contest. Unfortunately, because you play above the border, man.
Starting point is 02:12:06 Like, you're just what it is. And that Nike commercial, wasn't it, too? Yeah, but the dunk contest. The shots. Yeah, the shots. If you win in a small market, great. There's more smaller markets in the NBA than there are large markets. There's 30 smaller markets in NBA than there are large markets.
Starting point is 02:12:26 There's 30 NBA teams. Five, six teams fit that large market if you talk about population. The rest of the cities are fairly small, man. So a lot of these places can't afford Supermax contracts. So therefore, they're forced to get off for these guys San Antonio if they don't win now with women they've not they won't be able to afford De'Aaron Fox and win It's just what it is Mm-hmm and pay the other guys on the roster. It's just it's a fact Look, it's just because of the population and you just you you can't people
Starting point is 02:13:03 The waiting lists for season tickets in these other places is crazy The way listen San Antonio not probably not that extensive I'm just saying the waiting list for season tickets in Milwaukee probably not that extensive the wait listen other places is not that extensive There are some yes people that's loyal fans that grew up in these cities, that live, eat, and sleep their team, yeah. But the masses? No, but you... People want them in their knicks,
Starting point is 02:13:33 suck all them time. Like, how the fuck they keep selling out home games? Because the fucking... I think people think small markets and big markets because of the population of the city. No, that's not... It's not the population of the city. It's the money in the city.
Starting point is 02:13:47 Right? So even though Toronto has a big city, the money, how the city runs is not. Toronto is a big city. Texas, you know. Dallas is bigger than San Antonio. To your point, there's a reason that the Golden State Warriors moved from Oakland to San Francisco. To that point that he's making, to the point that Gill is making right now there's a reason that they the Nets moved from Jersey to Brooklyn there's a reason for
Starting point is 02:14:13 that it's not just there's a reason that I think Memphis is gonna lose their team like there's a reason that some of these places gonna lose their team unfortunately they can't afford them like that Bane and like that job contract listen, that's That's Jan Jackson. That's that's too much just for that No It's just what huh? Yeah, they don't have to and that's real they don't have to move to Nashville in order to keep that team if they want to
Starting point is 02:14:42 Keep that team in Tennessee. All right, they have to If they do that we going right they have to move to Nashville in order to keep that team. If they want to keep that team in Tennessee, they have to move that team to Nashville. If they do that, we're going. Right, they have to move that team to Nashville in order to keep it. Nashville off the chain. All right. If they do that, we're going. Because there's not enough people. Because there's not enough people in Memphis.
Starting point is 02:14:55 And the money's not. The money is not like that in Memphis. But we for sure are going there. And an owner, he's in it to, unfortunately, this is a business. OKC, too, could be. People don't understand. OKC, this is a business. OKC, too, could be out of there. People don't understand OKC is a business. They could be out of there. They got to win.
Starting point is 02:15:09 They got to win now, next year. Like, OKC has to win. Somebody got to go to Seattle. Do I have to pay them? Do I have to pay them? No, you don't. You don't have to pay them. You got to come close to it.
Starting point is 02:15:19 Do I have to? If he makes one of them three, absolutely. Who? Anybody. Yes. In one of them small markets. If they make one of the first three, too. Do I have to pay them what he asked of them three? Absolutely. Who? Anybody. Yes. In one of them small markets, if they make one of the first three teams. Do I have to pay him what he asked for? You don't have to.
Starting point is 02:15:30 No. Why do you think there's a lottery? No, you don't. Or you lose him. That's what I'm saying. Why do you think there's a salary? So that affects your bottom line even more. It affects if I make the decision.
Starting point is 02:15:38 Not to do it. If I make the decision not to do it. So I'm saying the negotiations acted to bring the number down based on the city that I'm in to make it make sense for me as an owner. It's the shit that he be talking about. I know. The off the book shit. That's what I'm saying. As a city and as an owner, I'm looking like, do I have to pay him
Starting point is 02:15:56 max just cause? Yes. Probably not super max, but you gotta pay him. If he's an all NBA player, it's super max. What are you gonna say? I'm not giving you super max, I'm gonna give you bottom line? No. No, I'm not giving you super max. I'm going to give you bottom line. No. No, I'm not saying giving them bottom line. I'm just saying there's a...
Starting point is 02:16:10 Let's call it two-fifths. If that number's 250... Can I give him 200? 200, give him 200? Yeah, can I give him 200? It depends on the player. And save meat for the city. It depends on the player.
Starting point is 02:16:20 And make the numbers make... You know what I'm saying? For a small market... I hear you. That's what I'm saying. So we come to the table with all these max deals and saying, oh, you're what I'm saying? For a small market. That's what I'm saying. So we come to the table with all these max deals and saying, oh, you're going to have to pay him because
Starting point is 02:16:30 this is what he's worth. But if I come to say, I see what you're worth, but I'm going to give you this. It depends on how it's presented. You forgot that Big Cities is over here like this. It depends on how it's presented. I get it, but how many of those teams already got guys that say, oh, we can use another guy. We got cities is over here. Yeah, I was about to say, they offer. It depends on how it's presented. I get it.
Starting point is 02:16:45 But how many of those teams already got guys that say, oh, we could use another guys. We got some money over here. It's like, what you got that you can even do this? If you're a team that's big market and you got some availability like New York had and they went and got OG and spent their money on them guys, they can't do this. Ooh, ooh, ooh, we want to do it.
Starting point is 02:17:01 So maybe all the teams that can say this are small market teams. Yes. So now I got to bring my price down all the teams that can say this are small market teams. Yes. So now I got to bring my price down to even keep myself in the conversation with these other teams. You can't bring your price down. You can't bring it down. That's why there's a salary cap. The salary cap is to stop the richer owners from bullying.
Starting point is 02:17:16 Yeah, you can bring the salary cap. That's right. Like how MLB, that's what the Yankees, that's what Steinbrenner be doing. He be just throwing the most money out there. Dodgers, Dodgers do it, Yankees do it. But that's the luxury tax and all that. And that's what thebrenner be doing. He be just throwing the most money out there. Dodgers do it. Yankees do it. But that's the luxury tax and all that. And that's what the luxury tax is so players can stop.
Starting point is 02:17:29 Like, it is designed, the NBA is designed so the player don't want to leave. Like, when you're talking about Lucas Max, how much does he lose? $100, $160. So if he was a free agent, to go to the Lakers, right, is a what? Two something? And staying there is three. So if he was a free agent because over the Lakers right is a what to something and Stan There's three it's so much money between Leaving that it stops at once if it was designed to stop those players for jumping ship to bigger markets
Starting point is 02:17:55 And that's why I was designed like that. But some players are like fuck it. I'll just take the risk They still do anybody's only two guys on the team now. So yes They only pay like look at like it look it was a free agent I would have never turned down a hundred something million dollars to go to LA so me spending most of my money on two guys and Then I max out and I can't move a maneuver cuz I maxed out based on what they asked for Not based on what I wanted to give them. Yeah, it depends on how it's presented. It depends on the player.
Starting point is 02:18:28 It depends on the relationship they have within that locker room with them guys. I think that's what the Brunson deal was. That's Shea. That's what I'm looking at. That's the relationship that Shea has with his guys, right? Absolutely. If he's going to turn down. If he's not going to turn it down, I don't see it.
Starting point is 02:18:41 And they in a tricky situation. But that's what I said. Brunson went to big market to do that. They're not going to afford that because Brunson probably already knows he can make that money on the back end of New York City. I don't have to make first team right now. Second team, I can wait
Starting point is 02:18:57 and still get that money. That's what we were talking about. OKC, he can't turn down $100 million and get that money from the city. It's not there. Times Square, man. Big market is where it's at. Like that motherfucking Times Square.
Starting point is 02:19:11 Listen, Jack. You got all of them. But like y'all said about Oakland changing it from Oakland to San Francisco. Small to big, right? What happens with OKC? Can they do the same? Nope. They got nowhere to go.
Starting point is 02:19:23 You know what? I can tell you to do this. Look, shot. I can tell you to say, hey, listen, we're trying to offer you $200 million. We're trying to keep this in the championship. I give you $100 million, and my man in silicone van, he got this new app. It's called Uber, right? We can let you invest in the Uber, and in five years, that $100 million is going to
Starting point is 02:19:43 turn into three that I owe you. Kevin Durant. Think about Kevin Durant. Think about all those things. It's the two years he went there. That was a free agent move. He turned down a lot of, Kevin Durant, people don't understand.
Starting point is 02:19:57 Kevin Durant turned down so much money to play for Golden State Warriors. But look at the investments he did while he was there. I think OKC turns into a big market if they stay. OKC? OKC? They can't. No way.
Starting point is 02:20:13 They should have stayed together for $6 million. It was a $6 million drop. It was a $6 million drop for the big three in OKC that I'm talking about. If they stay together, it turns into a big market. No, you can't turn into a big market. Why not? Because you got to be a big market. No, you can't turn into a big market. Why not? You got to be a big market. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because Oakland wasn't a big market.
Starting point is 02:20:31 They didn't turn into a big market when they won it. What do you mean? Think about it. They wasn't a big market. They wasn't a big market. Think about all the money. First of all, no, no, but I'm saying this before. Look how much money Curry had. He was on a $60 million contract, right?
Starting point is 02:20:49 So he wasn't signed to Max. They brung in a Max player, and he took a pay cut. And then when him and Steph Curry had to re-up, he took another pay cut because he was getting it in the back end. He didn't care about the contract money. They already promised him from Silicon Valley. There's no Silicon Valley in OKC for them to take that pay cut. Listen.
Starting point is 02:21:11 It's not there. But Tornado. We don't know what OKC becomes. We don't know what it becomes. We don't know what it becomes with these three guys on this team. With KD. And if they win a championship, just like Denver. We don't know what Denver becomes
Starting point is 02:21:27 if they win a championship. They win a championship? No, I'm not talking about joking them. I'm talking about if Kenyon them wins a championship in Denver, with Mello and AI and him and JR and them,
Starting point is 02:21:38 it turns the shift of the market for Denver. The market, the money has to already be there. Like, like Luca, whatever your ticket was last if whatever your ticket was last Whatever your tickets was last week Denver. They have changed this week. You can go in there and say Lucas here We're gonna put $20,000 on the front row and motherfuckers gonna buy give you a chance You know, what's the small market right now? What's the small market right now?
Starting point is 02:22:03 Indiana fever. Okay. Did they not just become a big market? No. In the WNBA? No. Why not? Because where they are. Why not? Where they're at. Where are all the fans coming to? On the road. They just don't see me. No. Where are the fans coming to, bro?
Starting point is 02:22:19 She sold out the whole... She sold out a football stadium. To watch her in college. Where at? In Iowa. That was in Iowa? Midwest, bro. A football arena. Bro, she's selling out, bro.
Starting point is 02:22:32 But it doesn't... She did, a football arena. This is what I'm saying. She had the ability to turn a small market into something much bigger with much, much more value. Every player has an opportunity to look. You look at them three players at OKC,
Starting point is 02:22:44 they could have changed that. You can't turn a small market, that's not how it works, no matter who you are. Go ahead, I'm with you here. You can't turn it into a big market. The big market is there. They can't raise their ticket prices. They can. OKC can win.
Starting point is 02:22:56 Indiana Fever raised, they did. They raised their ticket prices. What I'm saying is OKC is- But they did. I know they can't do this price gap. What I'm saying is Cavs, the resale market though. Yes. Cavs. Cavs and OKC is number one. Okay, see if they did I know they can't do this price gap. What is that? Yes Cavs and okay see is number one They can't say overnight that we have front row tickets $1,000 and we turn it in $10,000 and sell out
Starting point is 02:23:15 La can New York can that's the market because the but the price don't go up It's just not gonna go up people. It ain't gonna jump to what you're talking about every People making it can't afford it. That's what the is what the people may city if they have to pay Jalen Chet Jalen shared Shay The people can't afford that Maybe maybe the average person can't afford it. Why didn't Milwaukee turn it to a big market They can't why didn't they know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they want it I Haven't been a fine city years. I don't know if it's a big money. It's not I mean, it's the same thing as it Was there
Starting point is 02:23:56 They got a new arena. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's what happens. It goes up So things in the city, but it doesn't that doesn't mean it's a big market, though. Inflation, all that shit matters. The whole book. It hurts people. The books, everything went up. So they got to pick, right? Think about the kings. I'm going to live on it.
Starting point is 02:24:11 It wasn't a big market. It wasn't a sporting event. No, it wasn't. If you raise your ticket prices right, people have decisions. It is tough, man. It is hard. It is really hard for an average family of four to go to a sporting event. $1,500.
Starting point is 02:24:27 You have to say, these people planned for this for months and months and months in advance to be able to take their son, their daughter, their family to a sporting event. If you price that out of their price, it's just, you're going to suffer. You talk about the Warriors market, I think 10th by market size, but most valuable franchise.
Starting point is 02:24:47 But that's different because San Francisco got big bread with Silicon Valley. See what you just pointed out. Market size and value. Well, because they're the championships. They won. And those are two separate. But they're also the city with a ton of bread. 100%.
Starting point is 02:24:58 Now, but then you go to popular. When did their market go up? When they went to San Francisco, right? I mean. It was going up in Oakland. Yeah. San Francisco, like I said, market size goes up. The value goes up because of the market size.
Starting point is 02:25:10 I mean, second is the Knicks, third is the Lakers. Toronto market went up. Knicks ain't won a championship, but what? Where is Miami? Let me pull it up. Miami's got to be up. Six or seven. And they still mediocre.
Starting point is 02:25:22 New York hasn't won a championships in 73 in her second Yeah, who took them over San Francisco? Silicon Valley, but these are still all techniques ain't one. I think they need her like big market day What I'm saying is that in their second, that's what I'm saying. So you don't have a market is a big market to win It's just a big marketable You're just going in a big market to be marketable. Knicks hasn't won nothing in their second. And the market value. Yes.
Starting point is 02:25:48 So whoever's there is the king. If you win, it's- It's not going to equate. It's not going to, that's what I'm saying. It don't equate to winning. What, no what I'm saying. The small market, I'm saying the small market teams that we're trying to offload stars from
Starting point is 02:26:00 to push to the big markets, we ain't got no metrics to say that this is going to guarantee championships. That's all I'm saying. Because now we're looking at small markets like, oh, nah, De'Aaron, you need to go here in order to get... And then you need to go here in order to...
Starting point is 02:26:15 You know what I'm saying? It worked for us. I said it last year. In order to get the most money that you think you want and you deserve, you're going to have to. De'Aaron better get his ass in Chicago. If you want to win, you got to get the most money that you think you want, you deserve, you're going to have to. Darren better get his ass to Chicago. If you want to win, you got to find that team if you want to win.
Starting point is 02:26:30 I said, Darren Fox, they can't afford you. They got mad. It's not that easy, too, just to be moving around now. That's what I'm saying. You got to pick wisely. You got to choose, like, all right, where am I really going to go to try to win? If that's what I'm thinking about. If I'm not thinking about winning.
Starting point is 02:26:43 If I ain't thinking about about that, I'm not thinking about They still young they're right now some of these dudes I ain't saying all some of these dudes It's about what this is about the bag you can win a championship just like Tim Duncan five Championships and when you think about the top ten most of the time people forget about him He's a forget about star because the market he was in. And he was the person though. You talking about five rings. He was technically He was the person. He was the person. He was the person and the... You can be... You can be... Because if Giannis get five in Milwaukee, it's... What I'm saying is you can think about... Giannis has more personality.
Starting point is 02:27:16 He has a personality. But I'm just saying somebody who has five rings and when you talk about your top five, 90% of people don't even think of his name until you be like, what about Tim? You be like, oh shit, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But now you talking about 90% of people don't even think of his name. And so you be like, what about Tim? You be like, oh shit, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But now you talking about 90% of people who don't really watch the game, because if you know the game, Tim Duncan. Yeah. Two-time NCAA player of the year, number one pick,
Starting point is 02:27:39 five championships. How are you saying his name and being like, yeah, I forgot him. Nah, not nobody that really.'s him into is him in KG If you like an athletic growling, huh? You're gonna pick him but if you like the nigga that one and wins and number one you gonna go with him this test Oh, you're a basketball fan. Yeah, that's what I'm saying 90% of people gonna put a lot of people out you gonna put Kobe 27 You're gonna put Kobe's 12, but if you're gonna put people who are really good outside the line
Starting point is 02:28:11 We just can't consider your shit valid inside this line when you're a star when you are a mega star Your sport what you do is irrelevant Right when you're talking about the masses worldwide and Regular people know your name just hearing it from something that that's a different thing than somebody just knowing your stats, right? So you're talking about Tim Duncan as it a basketball player as a basketball player. He's great worldwide Nobody knows who he is Compared to everybody else magic magic johnson worldwide we know it kobe worldwide you know him right that it's a difference it's a difference well we know tim what they know what no no i know come on it's a bigger it's a bigger difference
Starting point is 02:29:01 between kobe and him do we do we know who When I went to China, Kobe was like a god. God. God, for real. You think if me and Tim Duncan went to China, being him, who's bigger? Okay. That's how I, yeah, I was, yeah. We was both on Adidas together.
Starting point is 02:29:19 I ain't gonna lie. Me and him was on Adidas together. I won not one championship. It's like that. I never made it out of second round. Who sold more shoes? Me or Tim Duncan? So when you put the camp together, put some money in our pocket to go to China. For real, man. Thank you. Hey, hey, hey, Murder World Pizza already hit me and said, boy, we need you in China.
Starting point is 02:29:40 So when we going? They call me Da Da Jun, the Grand General. Well, let me know. I ain't coming back. I ain't coming back. Open up a shop. Tim. Let's move on to Mostly Fans. A Tim Duncan five-time champion. Who did Adidas re-release? Mm. That's a fact. Zero. I didn't know Tim Duncan had a shoe though. AD Zero! I don't know what shoe.
Starting point is 02:30:02 I don't know what shoe. It was gray and black. So that brings us to our Mostly fans question presented by Underdog. Before I read the question, though, got to give some love to the chat out there. We set a world record for a Gills Arena live show. We had 85,000 people in the chat. We hit our number. Burn.

Oh man We got one question today is from underdog user Marky to 416 Wants to know what is more valuable for a legacy, a championship or a league MVP? What's what?
Starting point is 02:32:27 What is more valuable for a legacy? This is Cam Newton. So, Cam, last week on first day, Cam Newton said he wouldn't trade his MVP for a Super Bowl MVP. League MVP. League MVP. Yeah. No question about it. When you're talking about?
Starting point is 02:32:44 Because 15 motherfuckers get a ring. Mm-hmm. Yeah No question about when you're talking about cuz cuz yeah 15 motherfuckers get a ring. Mm-hmm. And 14 of them didn't do 14 a whole lot of them do shit. So one Mb is 400 of whatever your sport is it's all of them competing technically for the same So it's finals MVP. No, no, I mean just this is all group. That's just the same thing. So it's finals MVP? No, that's only just the small group. That's just the finals. No, it's not.
Starting point is 02:33:08 That's only 30 people, dog. It's not the same fucking thing. You're going to stop that bullshit. Finals MVP? No. Finals MVP, but you don't make all teams. Brandon, this man let his team in scoring, rebounding, points, assists, steals.
Starting point is 02:33:21 Stop it, man. No. You're talking about league MVP, man. It's league MVP. That's everybody. I know for 82 games. But if I can win a ring and get finals in a Lakers jersey? How's that paying off for him right now? For who? The person you want to talk about. No, I'm just, no. They said if Luka. Is he blown up? If Luka was to do that. the championship right finally five league MVP the MVP you
Starting point is 02:33:47 Is you? Championship is your team I'm going home with the finals MVP. I'm taking on to not necessarily. Yes You can be you don't have to be we got one And and and two final we say should have more lead, and we already talked about the championships. And two finals. We say he should have more. Say it again. And we say he should have more. Kobe got five championships.
Starting point is 02:34:07 Say it loud for the people. He got five championships. We say he should have more. And nobody talk about the MVP. He should have more. Before he won a championship. He should, but he don't. Before he won a champ-
Starting point is 02:34:17 Oh, shit, I didn't even go. Man. It don't even matter. He was what? Who? He was already popular before a championship. Kobe didn't have to win. Kobe didn't have to win. He didn't have to win no championship.
Starting point is 02:34:27 He didn't have to win no MVPs. He was an all-star starter in his second year. I thought he was a lunchtime player. This man averaged seven points one year. What's your choice? Who, me? I'm going with the championship because I'm winning finals MVP. You're going championship too? I'm going championship.
Starting point is 02:34:42 Gil, you're going MVP. I'm going MVP. You're going MVP? I'm going league MVP. What you going? He said what? I'm going to championship. Gil, you're going MVP. I'm going MVP. You're going MVP? I'm going league MVP. What you going? You said what? I'm merely a ho.
Starting point is 02:34:50 Oh, man. I'm going championship for Lakers because I'm getting finals MVP. That's what Tatum thought. That's what Tatum thought. Championship means you're better than everybody. That's what Tatum thought. You beat everybody. You won.
Starting point is 02:34:58 Wait, hold on. You said again, said again, he wants the championship. I want the championship and finals MVP. Because finals MVP. Yeah. I said that's the same thing Tatum thought. That's MVP. Because finals MVP. Yeah. I said that's the same thing Tatum thought. That's the same thing Curry thought. That's the same thing Curry thought, right?
Starting point is 02:35:15 That because he's the best player, he was going to win finals MVP. He lost it to someone. Tatum lost his. That MVP. It's whoever's great. That MVP. It's whoever's great in that series. That MVP. I got a quick question.
Starting point is 02:35:23 I got a quick question. That MVP. It's who they want to vote for. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great.
Starting point is 02:35:32 That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great.
Starting point is 02:35:40 That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's great. That's question. Let's stop it, dog. Let's get back to the question. What means more to you? Being the best player in the world.
Starting point is 02:35:49 Winning a championship. Winning a championship. When you in that driveway, you be like, championship. What means more? Winning a championship. To me personally? What means more? So that's really the question.
Starting point is 02:35:59 No, he asked me what. No, no. For legacy, what's more important? He said for your legacy. For legacy, what's for legacy? What's more you said like it for your legacy legacy more To the end of that question then we know we're important to your legacy to you No, no, it's that like marino the question was the question question You changing the question. Yeah, so what's more important to your legacy your legacy championship or Final or MVP era y'all just argued last week about their growth, right? He should be a what a
Starting point is 02:36:34 Hall of Famer, right? How many championships you got cuz we were talking about Paul George and DeMar DeRozan. That's why. That's what the conversation was. That's what the conversation was. The conversation didn't have nothing to do with him. It did. It had everything. We did. We broke it up. No, you broke it in there. No. When we talked about Derrick Rose, it was just Derrick Rose. You said if Paul George is the one.
Starting point is 02:36:52 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We were talking about Paul George and Jamar first. And he brought up Derrick at the end. He was like, well, Derrick Rose has to be one.
Starting point is 02:37:10 Because you brought up them two. It was like, yeah, they're all the same. We started talking about Grant Hill and all that. Why would Derrick Rose be in even conversation? Because he has what? He's the youngest MVP ever. The youngest. It doesn't matter how old he is.
Starting point is 02:37:22 It doesn't matter how old he is. Chelsea Bullock. It don't get more points. It don't matter how old he is. It doesn't matter how old he is. It don't get more points. It don't get more points for you. But the conversation was Derrick Rose, Paul George, or DeMar DeRozan. And we said that Derrick Rose was right. You started off that history
Starting point is 02:37:39 should be an MVP. The history of the league of first ballot. And the history of the league. First ballot. First ballot. Michael Cooper. And the history of all MVPs have been first ballot Hall of Famers. That was the argument. We didn't say nothing about championships. You said what?
Starting point is 02:37:53 Every MVP has been a what? You mad about that? Hall of Famers. I thought you mad about that. Every MVP has been a Hall of Famer. Michael Cooper. Hold on. We didn't say nothing about no motherfucking champions, right?
Starting point is 02:38:04 We didn't say one-time champions. We didn't say nothing about no motherfucking champions, right? We didn't say one-time champions. We didn't say seven-time champions. So we're talking about legacy. So if you ask Derrick Rose, what would be more important to my legacy, this MVP that I won or winning an actual championship? Ask him. Ask him. Mike, give your champ-
Starting point is 02:38:18 Have a different conversation. Give you a championship or take away your MVP. Because I swear to God, you used the MVP as getting into the Hall of Fame. Because I can tell you, there's motherfuckers with seven, eight championships. If he won a championship against Miami, he's getting in the Hall of Fame, first ballot. Is the Hall of Fame an individual accolade? Yes. It's individual, right?
Starting point is 02:38:38 But he did. So do you prefer winning individual awards over team? But he got MVP. He said if you take the MVP away and he won a championship. Nobody fucking the whole thing crazy. It's Chicago. It's Chicago. You know what?
Starting point is 02:38:52 I have the mic. That's an if, so we don't give a fuck. We're not talking about no ifs. Derrick Fisher, guys, how many rings does Derrick Fisher have? Yo, Faust. Is he the Hall of Fame? Yo, let me ask you something. Who are you, though? Derrick Fisher and Derrick Rose. Derrick Fisher and the only thing? Yo, the man, so. Derek Fisher and Derek Rose.
Starting point is 02:39:05 So we're talking about the final. We're talking about MVPs. We're talking about MVPs or championships. Because you can go to Tony Parker. He should have said Tony Parker. Hold on. Hold on. You said it.
Starting point is 02:39:17 An MVP is you, motherfucker. Charles Barkley was saying it was bad. The championship is T. So you can take a motherfucker right now. Who's the top five shooting guards in the NBA? History. Charles Barkley. There's two people who haven't won no motherfucking championship,
Starting point is 02:39:32 and they in front of Klay Thompson for damn sure. Klay got four of them as the second option. Allen Ivers is in front of them, and motherfucking James Harden's in front of them. MVPs, you stand on your own motherfucking merit first. Yes before team It was a second option or two of them stop out sick there he was a second option on two championships. So you're telling us that we should put ourselves above the team. What? You're telling us we should put ourselves above the team.
Starting point is 02:40:10 No, we're saying your legacy. What about KD? When he won MVP, he would have been happy. He was the number one option. He was. But he's been satisfied with that MVP. If you're focused on your own merit, during our team, you're saying we're talking about
Starting point is 02:40:25 your legacy. I asked you what's more important. If you're good enough to win... And you said this MVP was more important than our championship? If I asked you that in preseason, nigga, I'm off you. Yo, if you are good enough to win... Nigga, I'm off you. If you're good enough to win league MVP, your team has a chance to fucking win a championship.
Starting point is 02:40:42 Let's call it what it is. Hello. chance to fucking win a championship. Yep. Let's call it what it is. If you're in a conversation for league MVP, your fucking team has a chance. Has a chance. Has a chance to win a championship that year. So for you to be in that position, therefore you stand on your own merit. Hold on, hold on. Stand on your own merit first. Have to stand on your own merit. You have to be legal.
Starting point is 02:41:06 You are good enough as that individual guy. No. Allen Iverson. They didn't have a chance. Let's go. Just let him talk. Let's go.
Starting point is 02:41:15 Nope. They made it to the championship. He stood on his own marriage first. That marriage didn't get him over because he stood on the wrong marriage first. It don't matter. He's on the what's-his-name list? He wasn't better than Kobe at the time. He didn't win no motherfucking championship.
Starting point is 02:41:50 Thank you. That's what we're talking about. Clay Thompson's fourth championship. Where is he on the list? Second on the list. Four! We talking about first on the list or second on the list? No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 02:41:59 We're talking about league versus NBA. We're talking about league MVP versus champions. And legacy. League and legacy. So your legacy as a champion or as an engineer? We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. We're talking about league MVPs versus champions. I'm talking about league MVPs. So your legacy as a champion or as an MVP? We don't talk about no MVPs.
Starting point is 02:42:10 We talk about when it's Jordan, six rings. He got six rings. LeBron can never be better. He got six rings. We don't say he got five MVPs. Hold on. You're changing it. We're talking about Charles Barkley.
Starting point is 02:42:22 Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on, Gil. What do we say about Charles Barkley? Yeah, what do you want to look? Come along has what? So they're a league in VPS no for, for sure. For sure. For sure.
Starting point is 02:42:46 Before you can worry about any of that other shit. No, no, no. That's not how I worry. We don't look at your MVP first. We look at if you won. Man, you lost to Michael Jordan four times and you won the MVP. We don't give a fuck about that MVP. We asked the chat, if you lost,
