Episode Date: February 5, 2025

The Milwaukee Bucks' BIG Trade BAFFLES Mr. B & The Gil's Arena Crew as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to the Bucks decision to trade Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma and break down how the move will help Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, Doc Rivers and the rest of the Bucks in their push for the NBA Playoffs. Then, with the NBA Trade Deadline just one day away the Gil's Arena Crew takes a look at the NBA rumor mill where the Golden State Warriors seem to be striking out on several key trade pieces like Jimmy Butler but may have one more ace up their sleeves with a potential reunion with Kevin Durant in the works. Gil's Arena debates if the Dubs should go all in on bringing KD back to the Bay and break down how this reunion could bring Steph Curry & Draymond Green back into the championship picture in the final years of their illustrious careers. Next, they highlight the fall out of the most shocking trade in NBA History as both the Los Angeles Lakers & Dallas Mavericks took the court last night following the Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade where LeBron & Bronny James showed out in front of their new teammate & Kyrie Irving reflected on his time sharing the court with Luka Magic. Finally, they whip around the NBA to highlight storylines outside of the hot stove like the Boston Celtics big win over Donovan Mitchell & The Cavs, Joel Embiid's return to the 76ers and Zion Williamson being held out of back to backs by the New Orleans Pelicans.

Whoo! What's up? What are you excited? What happened? Luka home. Oh. He didn't play, so what's this? But his aura.? What happened? Luka home. Oh. He didn't play, so what's this? But his aura. His aura was there.

He was just, my friends, go wait for me. He was out there. He looked homesick. He looked happy. He looked, oh man. Skinny. He remembered all them good times. Looking skinny, looking ready to play some defense.

I need to be the face of the franchise. Say goodbye. Take those keys. Brown hopping his passenger seat. Yesterday. I'm gonna be the best. I'm gonna be the best. I'm gonna be the best. I'm gonna be the best. I'm gonna be the best defense. Ready to be the face of the franchise. Say goodbye.

Take those keys. Brown hopping his passenger seat. You back with Black and Mouth? He got his boy back. Saving the number for you. But this is Gil's Arena presented by underdog Woo Woo. As always, we got the legend Gilbert Arenas here with us. You do.

Representing Tough Crowd, Tough Crowd University, we got Mr. B, Brandon Jennings. Ho, ho, ho, ho! Got some Bucs things to discuss, of course. We got former number one pick, the bully, from Oak Cliff, Texas, Canyon Martin. Representing your fellow Bearcat, I respect it. Travis Kelsey, man. You know what I'm saying?

Is there a football game this week? Small game this week, man. All these trade news, huh? Had to push him out the paint. Oh, and last but not least, the man known as Cemetery Larry, Rashad McCance, back in the building. Who number 30? Hmm?

Who number 31 for the Lakers? Greatest Laker of all time. And boom. Lean forward. Hmm? Oh, Kurt Ramp. Yeah, where'd you find that? Rashad rocking the Kurt Ramp

in his jersey on Black History Month. Isn't it? It's a choice. That's a disgusting number. For a Laker great? For a Laker great. 31. Yesterday.

Yesterday? Uh-huh. Got a Kurt Rambis. The Kurt Rambis in the midst of Black History Month. I threw the other one in the trash. We retrieved it. Don't worry. We retrieved it.

Got it steam cleaned. Let me get the closest thing. Let me go get Kurt. 31 is Reggie Miller. Not today. We got the jersey steam cleaned. Gave it a little exorcism. That's a crazy find.

Got it back to where it needs to be. A lot of things to discuss in the show today. For all the fans out there, we still got two viewing options for you. Our traditional version, a mobile vertical version. Pick whichever one you want to watch. Just make sure you support the show. Here's what's cracking in the arena today. The Bucks are trading three-time All-Star Chris Middleton

to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma. How much does Kuz move the needle for Milwaukee in the East? Mr. B, I know you got some thoughts. Leluka Bronchik could be just days away from making their debut together with the Lakers, but can they actually play well with each other on the court? Some people don't think so. Some people do, we will get into it.

And the Suns are reportedly listening to trade offers for Kevin Durant. Lot of speculation, lot of rumors going on right there. But would a Warriors reunion make sense for Steph and KD at this point in their careers? It very well could happen, ladies and gentlemen. We are 24 hours away from the trade day line.

Obviously, the Cavs coming off that loss to the Celtics last night. Got the Pistons tonight. And Tyler Hero hired 5.5 assists against the Sixers. Ooh. How everybody on the couch feel about these?

That's branding? Branding. Oh, branding. Good God. But NBA trade deadline is tomorrow at noon, but things are already getting turned up around the league, as we've seen. Shout out to Luka Doncic.

Face of the Lakers. But we got some breaking news coming out of Milwaukee. The Bucs trading three-time All-Star Chris Middleton to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma. Here are the full details of the trade. So the Bucs are sending Middleton to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma. Here are the full details of the trade. So the Bucs are sending Middleton their 2024 first-round pick, A.J. Johnson, and a pick swap to the Wizards for Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and second-round draft compensation.

So according to Shams, Kuz is reducing his trade kicker to give the Bucs some flexibility to add to the roster. I think he had like a 15% trade kicker, and that was kind of... Let me ask y'all this. They got Chris doing the bootleg breaking news and got Shams doing all the VIP luxury shit. Well, you know, Chris, that's tragic for Black History Month. Chris Haynes out here on his own grinding.

It is. It is. It is. He got to be like, man, I got it first. He stole it from me. So Haynes, I think, broke that news at 7.14 a.m. Shams also broke it at 7.14 a.m. But Haynes gets the Black History Month tiebreaker. We had to go with Haynes for the report. But like I said, Kuz reducing his trade kicker to give the Bucs some flexibility to add to the roster. But let's talk about Chris Middleton. Spent the past 11 and a half seasons with the Bucs.

Three-time All-Star helped the Bucs win the 2021 chip. Struggled the past few seasons while battling injuries, including bilateral ankle surgery this offseason. Averaging 13 points, four assists, four rebounds in 23 games this season. But has come on as of late, scoring 20-plus points in three of the Bucs' last four games. But now he joins the 8-41 Wizards squad, but has a player option this summer for $34 million. There are some rumblings that They may try to buy him out. Let him go give him his free

Let him go try and find another contender to play with we'll see how that pans out Kuz under contract through 2027 Will make around 41 million dollars total over the next two seasons I think he's making 21 million next season then like 19 after that. So according to the ath- yeah Kuz So Kuz his contract goes down for some reason, but... Still got front money. Yep. He got his bread, though.

So according to Athletics' David Aldridge, the Bucs did extensive research on Kuzma in recent days. Team officials believe Kuzma can help them play fast on offense

and be more effective in transition. So, obviously, Bucs news. We've been talking about it for a while. Mr. B. You said Milton Greatest small forward Bucks history. Yeah, I had to disagree and give that not to Marcus Johnson for a familial, you know That's your daddy my daddy. But mr. B. How do you feel about the Bucks trading Chris Middleton to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma?

first off Shout out to the GM's dog James is really getting it cracking out here, and they actually got their, they're getting their power back. You know, Nico, what he just did with Luka, it's just, you know, they just, you know, they got their power back

and they're starting to show who really run it now. So, shout out to the GMs for actually making this entertaining and, you know, having some balls to be able to be like, you know, get on, get on up out here. As far as the trade, I mean, you know, some balls to be able to be like you know get on get on up out of here um as far as the trade i mean you know we got kuzma uh you know it's a good player i think he can definitely help us um you know he left room in there for us to be able to go get another piece also so i like that that he came in team first. But losing Chris, I mean, you know, his playoff performances

and what he can do is just, you know, it's already indebted. So to lose a player like that is really tough for us because he's very proven. He is the best small forward in Bucs history. So to let that go and A.J. Johnson, it's tough. Yeah. So, you know, we'll see what happens. But this move right here, man, if it don't work out,

I think we could be seeing the last of Giannis in the Bucks uniform. And do you think, obviously, I know you don't know for sure, but do you think Giannis obviously knew before this went down, or at least had to have some knowledge that the Bucks were looking at moving Middleton? We saw with Drew Holiday for Dame.

We've seen how that's panned out. But now, obviously, that Bucs big three that won the chip. I mean, yeah. I mean, no, he definitely knew. He said. They said. They came out and said that he was okay with it. You know?

The only thing is with Kuzma is that he's been with the Wizards for a minute. Three and a half seasons. And they've been pretty bad. A hot pack of mid, as the kids would say. They've been very bad. So hopefully he can get out of that wizard mindset and understand that the Bucs are trying to win a championship. The wizard mindset.

Gil, you saw the news. Obviously, fan of Doc Rivers now. That fandom heightened after the Luka trade. Clean slate. With Doc and his Milwaukee Bucks squad. How do you feel about them trading Chris Middleton to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma? I actually didn't hear about it. Well, you just heard about it.

When did this happen? 7.14 a.m AM Pacific is when the news broke for the general public. I'm sorry, I was playing Call of Duty. I'm sorry. I was playing Call of Duty. It looks amazing. Um.

Gil, very enthusiastic about the moves. I didn't make the call. No, I'm just saying, good. I like it. You like it? Yeah. Actually, I mean, listen, Chris, he did... He was healthy at one point.

I mean, you know, having two surgeries this summer, I mean, we don't know how that's gonna affect him. You got somebody who ain't really been hurt. He's a wild card. Anything can happen in the playoffs, the way fucking Giannis is playing. I mean, Jesus Christ. You have Giannis. I mean, I've known...

No one has talked about what Giannis has been doing for the last fucking month, but he owned fucking January. Mm. Mm-hmm. I mean, as long as he's healthy, to be honest, whoever the fuck y'all got on the team should be alright I mean it all runs with him I mean if Kuzma's out there doing Kuzma

it should help a little bit what is Kuzma doing Kuzma he tucks up you know when the playoff starts there's always you need an outlier you need somebody who's going when you know everybody's focused on one player, who's gonna go in there and do some crazy shit

to try to break up the defense. That's what Kuzma does. Right, there's gonna be some times where they be like, what the fuck is he doing? There's gonna be some times, oh shit, Kuz, good job, Kuz. So. You know what this could've got? I mean, Kuzma and Bobby Porter's not the same.

Yeah. Yeah. Player? Yeah, yeah. One's light-skinned, the same. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah was like skin window skin So like they couldn't package that Like because you got the same you got two of the same they do the same thing One one's more of a open court type of guy. So yeah, I mean, I'm not mad at it. I mean The way Yannis is playing is between them and Boston now. Ooh.

Mm. We lost a lot. We lost a lot. Let's move to this side of the couch. I like it. I mean, I like it. Obviously, other situations going on in the league we will discuss shortly. But this Bucs deal, sending Chris Middleton,

obviously didn't come back until December. Struggled a little bit early on, but like I said, had 20-plus points three of the last four games. Didn't struggle early on. Just getting back. Just getting back. Coming back. Not a struggle, but.

Don't do that to him. But coming back from injury. Coming back from injury. He was on many restrictions. He was coming off the bench. So let's. I don't like it. At all.

For this reason here, right? Couple reasons. How'd it work out when you got rid of the other guy that helped you win? How'd that shit work out for you? Right? Talking about Drew Holiday. How'd that shit work out? Went back, went to a team that wasn't shit,

got bought out, won a championship. I foresee Chris Middleton getting bought out. Coming to the where? Wherever. The Lakers would definitely be a great spot for him. Y'all need another, somebody who can go get their own bucket that can help out, that's space to floor. How did that shit work out for him, right?

and where This is Chris Middleton what second team? Play with you. Yeah, drop by the pit this is but it was brief, correct? Yeah Them ankle surgeries didn't happen. Them ankle injuries didn't happen because he was out here motherfucking mowing lawns. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. So he got those on their watch.

So where's the loyalty here, man? Like, I understand it's a business. Mm-hmm. But the blood, sweat, and tears and shit don't mean nothing no more to these motherfuckers, man? Mm-mm. It's all about what you can do for me right now. And he's playing well right now.

No, for sure. And that's the thing, right? You just told me the other day. Just told. I've been watching it, man. I watched some of the finals against the Suns. Man, he was making tough shots. And he's back to that right now, right?

What I was seeing as of late, he's getting back to that. So, yeah, man, that's a bad move. Right? What I was seeing as of late, you're getting back to that. So... Yeah, man, that's a bad move. Like y'all said, Kuz been down there playing bad basketball for the last three and a half years, four years. Good luck breaking that. Yeah. Good luck. Kuz has all the 6'10", 6' damn near 6'11", right? Mm. He's big, right?

6'9", 6'10", something like that. I believe so. That's going to be a big team. Oh, definitely. It is, but I'm just like, so good luck with it. Listed at 6'7", maybe closer to 6'10". Yeah, but I didn't, I think it's a bad move. 6'10".

You bringing guys in that's not winners and getting rid of guys that's winners. Well, who's the one that got a ring? No, that's... He wasn't part of it. He was a fucking part of it, but let's be honest, man. It don't count? He's a part of it.

I mean, he was a... The hardest ring in NBA history? Yeah, what's that? He was on the team. He was on the roster. Yeah, I mean, say it really. He was on the team, man, but them dogs carried that team. No, let's not do that.

He was on the team. Is he a champion? Make you a winner. Don't make me a fucking winner, man. No, let's not do that. He was on the team. Is he a champion? Make you a winner. Don't make me a winner. No, no, for sure. That's a fact. What you mean it don't? Okay, go ahead. That don't make you a winner.

Where's the winner? I don't even want to get into that. He has a winner. Just continue your point. You had a good point. He was making a good point. Jordan Poole came from a winning situation. Look how the fuck he been playing lately with that bad situation.

So it don't, being in that bad situation, playing bad basketball for the last three years, hopefully it works out for Milwaukee. I hope it does. But Chris Middleton helped you win. He knows what it is to win when you need them guys to be there for you, right? Yep. Cougars on that team. Absolutely was on that Laker team.

But I just think it's a difference. Oh, no, it's a big difference. Guy that helped you get it. Rather than just a piece no but he was just a piece Chris Middleton played a huge role when we helped him boys win that final so Milton also solid in the playoffs last season yeah yeah when it was out yeah off the one hand hurt off the one leg one leg playing hurt so what was that, as of just this past playoffs, Mother Dews wasn't available.

He came out playing on fucking one leg, and I got to go get a surge on both my ankles after the season, and y'all do this to me? What did they say? What was the statement that they said? The reason why they traded? Oh, the Bucs? Yeah. One second, please, Shaw. I love contact. He said,

the Bucs did extensive research on Kuzma in recent days, and team officials believe Kuzma in recent days, and team officials believe Kuzma can help them play fast on offense and be more effective in transition. What are two things? Two things Chris Middleton is unable to do right now. Those two things. Because he's injured. And he's trying to recover.

He's trying to get back to original form. At 33 years old, your original form is gone. Okay. So you running in transition. You doing what we want to do with Giannis. We like this. Over here, he's 29. He's 6'9".

He can shoot. He can pass. He can jump. He can rebound. He can defend. Like Chris Middleton. Guess what, bro? Time's up.

Time's up? Yeah. What did they do to Michael Redd? Huh. What did they do to Michael Redd? Huh? Can I ask you a question? What did they do to Michael Redd? Can I ask you a question? Are we talking about, like, regular season here or when it counts?

Yeah, I'm about to say in the playoffs. Well, what counts? To win it all. To win it all, what you need? This half-court basketball. They've won it in the last three years. You need to be able to play. Have they won it in the last three years? Why haven't they able to play. Have they won it in the last three years?

Why haven't they won it? Because of injury. They got Chris Middleton. Because of injury. Because they got Chris Middleton. No, because of injury. Their best player was hurt. Because they have Chris Middleton.

No, that's not. Best player was hurt. No, that's not. What did the executive just say? Their best player was hurt. What did the executive just say? Their best player was hurt. They just said the reasons why we traded was because we want to play fast and play in transition.

You have to play in the half-court set. No, that's not how we want to play. You have to to win it. That's not how we want to play fast and play in transit. You have to play in a half-court set. No, that's not how we want to play. You have to to win it. That's not how we want to play. Okay, well, you have to to win it. To have to to win it. So, Chris, guess what you can do? Go get you a ring, Chris, somewhere else.

Go get you another ring somewhere else, Chris. For those that don't know, that's the international move-around symbol. One thing, Chris, go get you another ring somewhere else, brother. Go get bought out down there. Every single 33-year-old got to deal with the decision of, man, they might move on from me.

I don't move the way I used to. 33? I don't move the way I used to. These losers get younger. That shit looked all right last year in the playoffs by himself off one leg. Did y'all win it? Did y'all win it? We didn't have our best player.

I don't want to hear no fucking excuses. We didn't have our best player. We didn't have our best player. You got Chris Midd hear no fucking excuses. We didn't have our best player. You got Chris Middleton on one leg. Was that good enough? No Dame, no Giannis. Is that good enough? No Dame, no Giannis.

Was that good enough? No Dame, no Giannis. Yes, his play was good enough for me. No Dame, no Giannis. I said his play was good enough for me. No Dame, no Giannis. Kyle Kuzma. No Dame, no Giannis.

No Dame, no Giannis. So you're saying Kyle Kuzma, if Dame and Giannis go out this year, Kyle Kuzma's going to be able to do it. No Dame, no Giannis. No if Dame and Giannis go out this year, Cal Cousins will be able to do it? No Dame, no Giannis. One leg Christmas. No Dame, no Giannis. Don't matter.

No Dame, no Giannis. Loss. Loss. No Dame, no Giannis. Loss. L. L. L.

L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. L. guys. Excuse me? I'm playing on one leg. Hey, excuses are like assholes on elbows. You know anybody who had ankle surgery?

I do. Other people have. How hard? Not very useful, I would imagine. Yeah, not very useful. Yeah, but it's taking time to get back. Steph had ankle surgery early on. He played long with bad ankle surgery.

Are you going to take that risk? Bad ankle surgery. I don't know nothing about ankle surgery. Can Kyle Kuzma do what Chris Middleton did last year if Dame and Giannis go out this year? But, uh, what'd he do, lose? That's a different Middleton. What'd he do, lose? Bilateral ankle surgery this summer. He said he had to relearn how to walk

in the aftermath of that recovery process. I'm sure after all that caring he was doing in the playoffs. And that is fair, too, Brandon. But, I mean, we just look at this Bucs squad. The biggest issue is Giannis has been hurt past two playoffs. They're trying to make all these moves to keep chasing those rings. But if Giannis has been hurt past two playoffs. They're trying to make all these moves to keep chasing those rings. But if Giannis is not available...

What's the common denominator? It feels like none of that shit was available. So let me ask y'all this. So what the statement is and what really needs to happen don't coexist, right? Why does Giannis get hurt? Because how he plays, right? Fucking transition all down here all the fucking time, right? Why does Giannis get hurt? Because how he plays, right? Fucking transition all down here all the fucking time, right?

How do you need to fucking play? Half court. Put this motherfucking half court, put him in the post and make him slow the fuck down so he's not rolling his ankle, he's not pulling, slow him the fuck down at times.

He's not effective in that. Well. Why he plays fast. Okay, well, yeah. He is, I agree with you. He's effective in that half court though. fast okay well yeah playing the way he is i agree with you he's effective at half court that's how he's rolling that half court alan iverson they played the way they played he's staying foul trouble he's staying foul trouble when they don't need foul trouble he out the three charges a night he rolling ankles

he motherfucking bumping knees with people uh-huh joelle and b all the same guys john everybody played. They played dangerous. Have you seen Yonis? And Javander. Joel Embiid played dangerous. He's been playing a lot better. In the half court, yeah.

Little mid-range. He's been trying. That middie is looking very, very nice. Who? Like, Yonis. He's been playing better. But when it get down to it, when he get, you know what he gonna do. There's no Olympics this summer.

And if I'm him, I'm, the rest of the game, you don't have to worry about none of that. None of that, dawg. Focus on back to the basket, swiping through, pull up jumpers. That's all you have to do all summer. Just focus on that. Don't touch the rim. You don't need to dunk shit. You do that.

Has Greek ever had a running mate? I didn't touch. He ever had a running mate? Greek? Yeah. He got one now? He never had one before, him. He ever had a running mate? I didn't touch him. Greek? Yeah. He got one now.

Right. He never had one before, to be honest. Wait, Middleton wasn't one? Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Greek never had a running mate. Oh, you mean running with him? Running with him.

Never had nobody running with him. And he ain't going to have nobody running with him. It's like I had somebody go out there, motherfucker, keep up with Russ. Like, it ain't go, like, no. Hey, we playing fast. Hey, Dame, pitch your heads all day. Get out, go. That man getting the rebound. But that shit don't last 48 minutes.

That shit don't last 48 minutes. That man getting the rebound, pushing that motherfucker. Ain't nobody kicking the ball to him. He getting that bitch and pushing him himself. That too. Go. Move with it. That ain't Chris Middleton. You got Chris Middleton with the ball. You got Chris Middleton with the ball going 68. I need somebody

that can go 83, 85. Running over motherfuckers and rolling ankles. They ain't go 83. Yeah, but Chris doing 67. We got to get off that. We need a 75 at least. Man, shit. I thought he was going to be an 80 by the time the postseason comes. No, he's still 72.

By the time the postseason comes. You doing he's still 72. By the time the postseason comes, he's... You doing motherfucking assless. You doing that shit in the hoop, it don't matter. That shit going in, that shit was water. You doing that fast in the hoop, that shit smoking. If you can keep up, you can keep up. If you doing 80, you can do 80. But if you in a Mercedes and you can't do 60...

Chris Middleton last year... Get off that. Chris Middleton averaging 25 minutes and was having, what, 24, 23 points. So like shooting 70% from the field. What's Chris Middleton's contract? He has one year left on his player option this summer for $34 million. Yeah, they about to buy that out. Yeah, they gonna buy him out. Yeah, buy him out. There's talks about potential buyout. Buyout means you have to agree. Because this year is prorated already. Yeah, so he was making $32 million this year.

So that's prorated already. $34 million player option this summer. Yeah, they do that. Yeah, they buy that out. There's talks about a potential buy out. Talks about the Wiz might keep him. What are you talking about? Lakers fans, get your hope.

You owe me what, $60 something? I think less than that now, obviously. So you're going to give me what, $40? Yeah. Give me $40, 60-something? I think less than that now, obviously. You gonna give me, what, 40? Yeah. Yeah. Give me 40, I'll walk? Yeah. Lakers fans, I know you got your hopes up, but based on the way the CBA is structured right now, Lakers would have to come up off of, I think,

$9 million. And I can go wherever I want? Yeah. Milwaukee got to do it. Almost. Milwaukee got to do it. There's a lot of teams with this new CBA that wouldn't be able to sign them. I can sign for a million dollars. But the way that the aprons are set up.

Yo, I know. I'm just telling you. Somebody get it. Somebody make a move before. What's that? What are the aprons? Wait, wait. You buy me out, and then I have to sit.

Is it still that rule? No, that's amnesty. When you get amnesty, and you have to sit and, like, wait in here for 10 days and make sure nobody's there. But it's like second apron teams can't grab guys in the biomarker. Second apron. People are over that second apron. I think first apron teams, it has to be some...

I ain't no mathematician, but... So, like, the Lakers, as it stands right now, would have to make another move to free up some bread if they wanted to bring somebody like Millard in there. Even if you don't ask for no bread? And they would. That's... I think... Oh, so it's almost like a trade.

Almost like they would force somebody out in order to bring somebody. So'd have to waive somebody out. So he can't just sign with somebody right now. That was crazy. You have to move. I think they'd have to create close to like $10 million in cap space. $10 million. Just to be able to sign him for whatever.

That's better, bro. That's better. I can't sign him for vet mill? I got to move $10 million to sign him for a million? You got to move something. You got to move something. You got to move something. What?

Don't say it, Gil. Yes. Don't say it, Gil. Yes. They can move something. Don't say it. I move out $10 million, sign somebody for $1 million, which relieves $9 million? Yep. Yep. You can definitely maneuver that.

I don't... You can. I know how you're thinking, but... That's definitely maneuverable. I like that. I like that. You're signing for the vet men. Yeah, signing for the vet men. You don't give a fuck. But there's some things in there.

That's why you're seeing all these crazy-ass trades now. But that's the same as what you were saying about the LeBron thing. If LeBron went into free agency, you can't sign him for the million because his value's too high. Yeah, they're going to investigate that bullshit. A lot of teams are freeing up cap space right now, though.

And as we pointed out before, after the Drew Holiday situation went down, he wasn't going to stay in Portland. What makes sense for Chris Middleton, though? What team actually makes sense for him? A contender. Chicago? No, no, no.

If you're saying contender, okay. He's going somewhere to win. Who's the contender that has an open shooting guard spot? He's 32. What contender has an open spot? Or a backup shooting guard spot if you just want to keep it real. People that need some help. We, us.

Y'all definitely. Lakers. That's the bench. We, us, Lakers, Cleveland. Nah. They not moving. They got their rotations solidified. What's over there? Miami? What's over there in Miami? Hero. I mean, they're not going to be ready to.

I think the Lakers. If you're trying to win. Orlando? What about Golden State? What about Orlando? Who the fuck is Golden State's shooting guard? Golden State. They got Wiggins, Buddy and Wiggins.

But Buddy comes off the bench. Wiggins is a three. Who's their shooting guard? Nah, he comes off the bench. He's deep on that bench. Does anybody start? Who the fuck is that? Yeah, but they-

Schroeder. Oh, Schroeder. Oh yeah, he can go. In light of Schroeder's recent comments comparing the NBA to slavery- Yeah, you can definitely pick up Middleton, bring in KD. But don't they want to play fast, too? No. KD don't play fast.

The chat is saying the Mavs. They already got... Push what? PJ to the... They got Spencer Dinwiddie. They got a lot of guards. They got a lot of guards. Whatever. We want more.

Yeah, but can them guards score like him? No. That's the thing. Who would you move? You can move off Josh Green. He's coming in for sure. You can move off Josh Green and get him. We'll see.

Dante Exum, move off Dante Exum. He definitely not. I would hope he didn't stay in Washington, bro. No, he not going to stay in Washington. It's a graveyard. It's a cemetery over there. Where? Lake Joe. Washington. Oh. Didn't make sense.

Get on the phone, Rob. We know you're not done yet. Denver don't make sense? Mmm. I don't know. I mean, Jokic like Rush. Two guard? Laker likes Rush. Rush in that starting lineup. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What, Rush playing the one, right? No. He's just playing Rush. He's just likes Rush. Shoe guard. Laker likes Rush. Rush in that starting lineup.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What, Rush playing the one, right? No. He's just playing Russ. He's just playing Russ. Russ about Rush. He's just guard. He's just guard. Russ playing Russ.

Just say guard. That's the athlete. Russ playing his position. But bringing Chris. Chris over there with Joker. He ain't got to move a lot. Space. Cut.

Shoot. No, no, no. I mean, bring him off the bench. That ain't shit. move a lot, space, cut, shoot. No, no, no. I mean, break him off the bench, that ain't shit. Post up, isos. He's got to do a lot. That's probably the only one with the team that ain't going to move a lot. That's playoff contention. All right, well, to my Bucs, man, just keep, stay strong.

How much do you think Kuz moves the needle for the Bucs? I mean, he is younger. So if they do want to run and that's the thing, then let's run. Let's see what the needle for the Bucks? I mean, he is younger. So if they do want to run and that's the thing, then let's run. Let's see what happens. He is a big body too, though. So... Yeah, I like that.

Like, he is, like, we... He'll go rebound and do what Brooke not doing. He'll go rebound. And then Bobby Portis and him? And Giannis. Makes you wonder. You can put Giannis at the five. That's a big-ass line. You. And Giannis. Makes you wonder. You can put Giannis at the five. That's a big-ass line.

You can put Giannis at the five. That's the shit. Yeah, Giannis at the five. You can put Giannis at the five and put Bobby at the four. Who's at the three? Yeah, either one of them. Who's at the three-four? Three-four.

That shit is spread. You can put Dirty Bird at the two. With the green. What's the green? They're green? Dirty Bird at the two. And then what's the name at the three? Floor still spread.

Goddamn at the one. Mm-hmm Yeah, like I said, who's averaging a 15 six rebounds three assists this season, but his average what what? Hold on He everything what fifteen point six rebounds three assists this season This dot dot dot dot dot but average twenty pointounds, four assists in his three and a half seasons with the Wills. He was trying to play basketball with them. He was like, I was trying to buy into the system. He was like, fuck all that.

He just said that, too. He was like, man, I'm going to— How many wins did they have? This season, they were 8-41, Gil. They haven't been doing nothing. There's been a lot of losing the last couple of— The opposite of hooping. You're going to have to flip the switch like—

Yeah, you're going to have to flip the switch, like. Yeah, like, you're going to have to flip the switch ASAP. Like, who did it get over there? For what? For him to average 15. Like, who's over there that's taking all these shots? What you mean? Pool.

They only average a 98 points a game. They ain't really doing nothing. They ain't. Not what you would call a proficient basketball player. But pulling him like... Nobody's averaging over 20. So, pool leading score right now at 20 points per game. Who's with second with 15 points? It's like a EuroLeague team.

Damn. Second and 15 down. Shit. Sound like 2001. Middle just came off the bench with 13. Right. That's why Milwaukee fans just sit. Sound like 2001. Yeah, middle just came off the bench at 13. Hey. That's why Milwaukee fans just sit. He missed motherfucking 25 games.

Damn! Hey, how come basketball they playing over there? Not winning basketball. That five-pass shit. Oh. Cools just got to flip the switch ASAP, dawg. Scream. They doing old UCLA class. They playing WNBA basketball. Don't even know who you passing to.

Pop out. Who is he? Pin down. Pin down. Pin down. Street. Cut. What's wrong with UCLA?

L-cut. Who's the coach over there? UCLA cut was when you didn't have no talent. You just hoped for the defense to get tired. Yeah, you get a layup. You get a layup, a little backdoor, a little back door look good. Like you can play You should have jump shot they'd be mad as hell I can verify

All the way to the middle of the rim this time go out We ran this is some time't threw it not one. So sign. Get it, Kenyon. Get it. Great for college. Great for college. Winning recipe for college.

We ran this 12 times. I didn't run one time. I didn't run to the middle of the rim. Every time they put my head under the net. Every time. And nobody would have told me. Don't wait. That was something.

You know I'm an athlete, right? Shit. We're going to talk about more moves going on, but it just seems, obviously, with this first April, second April, new CBA, you're just seeing a lot of wild trades out there, and it feels like this trade deadline in particular, Luka obviously already kick-started it with one of the biggest trades in mid-season history, if not the biggest.

We're going to see a lot of wild shit. You take Luka out, it ain't that wild. What? If you take Luka out, it ain't that wild. I mean, yeah. We don't know what else is coming up. I'm just saying. But if we have, we can take Luka. Like, you always likeuka out, it ain't that wild. I mean, yeah, we don't know what else is coming up. I'm just saying. But if we have, we can't take Luka.

Like you always like to say, Gil. I know, I'm just saying. Like you like to say, we can't. We thought Jimmy Butler, as soon as free agent, I thought he would be the first motherfucker to go, but then. Now he's, now he got to change his tune. They're sitting there like this, like, hey, you looking for. Say, I'm ready to play.

Is Jimmy on the market? Nah, he in jail. He doing a nine to five. He got five to nine over here. We not interested. Click, click. Listen, the GMs, they got their power back, though. If I'm a young player, I'll be a little worried.

Because you could be next. Out here being cocky. Walk around like you... Or you just bought that house. They traded Luka like that Or you just bought that house. They traded Luka like that. You just bought that house. I mean, we talking like he went to a market

that just makes him mad. I'm just... Just in general, though, that's like he's the face of the... Like, he's one of the best top three players in the league and you just... Yeah, all right.

Now he's in LA? Now he's about to be in the biggest market, so... No, I mean, they both got... Both teams got better. I'm just saying. As a young player, like, because there's so many good young players, everybody's not going to, like, somebody else that's a young player

that's good is going to be in this situation. We're going to be like, damn, but we already saw it coming. If you, Ja or LaMelo, and your team decide to send you to New York, trust me, you... Oh, I loved it here. And then get there, you... Oh! Oh, sh... I loved it here. And then get there, you the man. No, for sure. I mean... We touched on it yesterday, though.

It's the relationship shit, right? If it's preordained for somebody to make this move ten, five years down the line, and we know we got the picks lined up for this pick, me and Nico could have a conversation and say, hey, man... 2024, we gonna revisit this pick, me and Nico could have a conversation and say, hey, man, 2024, we're going to revisit this conversation because we're going to be available to make this happen, right? Certain players, certain teams, man, when we get into free agency,

we're going to have certain conversations that motherfuckers don't believe that ever was supposed to happen. So how are we going to say, like, this is not going to continue to happen? This is going to be a trend, a new trend in the NBA secret conversations Oh y'all think y'all relationship with me don't matter. You better smile when you're around me boy Smiling around me You can be out there don't hurt the player No, I mean, no it don't hurt but it's just I mean still as a player you look like like you getting straight

It's just still just like it do like for a team That you like got drafted to you still feel the way I don't care. It's just like you just getting traded It's just like you'll get your money You're gonna still perform the pressures on Nico if it don't work out for them. Yeah, if they lose or some happen It's all For sure. I mean he's getting fired. He has a 90% chance of getting fired unless he's a way to go and let's Let's they agree Either way go for why would they buy it? They were but why would they I know I'm gonna do right?

Well, I got ten bricks. So even if they win sell them talk. No, but they agreed they agreed to eventually Because there's gonna be because what's gonna get enough like this if we get another one you win a champion Let me listen by Mars walked away 90 because he saw what was coming. He knew mark Cuban walked away cuz he seen was coming. He set the deal up This is supposed to be done. He just didn't want to blame. That's why he stepped away Nah, hell nah You don't think nah, I told y'all the right mark Mark. You was in all this That is a mark only face if Mark Cuban was in office Nico and only I know I can only come to my office with That's it who did who did who the hell?

Who did Mark Cuban say the only person was untouchable Okay, why why don't you think he was make that make that strong claim and work because while I'm here while I'm here Don't you even think about asking that question. I ain't here no more. Go ahead and make this deal. Remember I told y'all he's going to be available when I'm gone. No way. No way. No way. Make this deal happen and he come out and say, I ain't know nothing about it. Shit. They got conversations about it. We knew this. This is 2021. They talked about it. We already talked about Luka to the Lakers in 2021.

It was a conversation. You just can't keep your job on this one. I mean, you win a championship, right? Kyrie leaves, your team goes to shit. Now you don't have no future. You're fired Yeah, right. This is going this comes right back at you. Damn if we had Luca the pressures on Kyrie to though because Because Lakers is winning the champ Lucas winning the championship as an LA that's 100% So, okay, you can say ha ha today. He's still gonna match it

No matter what that organization is to build a championship around him. Okay. Right? Mm-hmm. Dallas, you have to win a championship in the next two years. Yep. Or you're fired. Yeah, three to four.

Yeah, three to four. No, you don't have four years. He said three to four. He said, I got three to four years to make this happen. He said, I ain't got 10 years. But for him. You know what? Kyrie.

I mean, does Kyrie have 10 years? You only got. But does Kyrie have 10 years? They both win it together. He's going to win it. He has a player option this summer. He has a player option this summer. So you... I mean, he doubled down on Ky. He doubled down on Ky.

He said, man, if I'm going... Is this going to be on my name? I'm doubling down on this. Ky is the type that'd be like... I grew up. LeBron. Nah. No way. I don't know if you know where his house is. Where's his house? No way.

Malibu, huh? Kyrie's a man of integrity. Kyrie's a man of integrity. He would never do such a thing. He would never do such a thing. I just wanted to make sure he's still here. Oh, no. Yeah, his shit's safe. He's looking down. It don. Oh, no. Oh, he's just there. Okay. Yeah, he's just there.

He's looking down. It don't even rain on his shit. He's looking down on us. Because I would have been in front of his shit with the hose for him. His shit in the cloud. I got you. Yeah, that's how hot he is. There's moisture out that way. Kyra, you come to the Lakers.

We'll be at the crib with the hose for you. It's not 100% Luca. All right. Okay. H-O-S-E, Steve. As you know, I'm a man of God. I read the Bible diligently. Water hose.

Not Hyundai hose. It's a hell of a risk, though. 100% Luka wins the championship. No, in his career, but in the next four... Okay, in the next three or four years, what's the possibility of Dallas winning? Higher or lower? Dallas winning what?

Championship. They got championship. Higher. Higher. I still have 51-49. It's higher. That's what I'm saying. Klay, Kyrie, AD, all championship experience.

Look, I don't, like, if they win one, he can win one. That does not secure his job. You win one right now. Is he looking for job security at this point? Right. I don't think. All right.

If I can get me a chip and get out of here, nigga, I'll go somewhere else to show. And that's on my resume. Oh, cool. And then I come to L.A. That's where I'm going. I'm coming to L.A., yeah. And then get my job back. He's going to come right here with Rob.

As soon as he gets that chip and they fire him. Yeah. Yeah, that's what's going to happen. Like, listen, I had to do what I had to do. They did the deal. They did the deal. I mean, they tripping over here. We did the deal.

I had to do what I had to do. I told y'all I was going to get you. I said what up, though. Yeah, tell them I said what up, though. I get fired. I love people. I get fired. Hey, man.

What's up, Rob? You need an assistant? Yeah. He's just going upstairs to become the president. Oh, yeah? Man, come on, man. It's all laid out. Y'all know how it go.

God is good. Y'all know how it go. Nico said he laid it out. I got three, four years left. Man, I'm not about to be wasting it on no 10-year plan. Listen, they about to be making a run, Dallas. He said, I will not be here in 10 years. Nah, no 10 years. See y'all later. And who knows if He said, I will not be here in 10 years. Nah, no 10-year plan for me.

And who knows if the Mavs will be in Dallas in 10 years based on the way... The way that Mark be talking. Yeah, some reports on the new ownership and what they got up their sleeve, but... Oh. Go to Vegas. Oh, they're the team that ought to go to Vegas?

Yep, they all make it. Sands Corporation, too. Oh, it all makes sense. It all makes sense. Yeah, let me get myself out of here. Writing's on the wall, man. Yeah, let me get myself out of here. Mark's on the wall, man. Yeah, let me get myself out of here. Mark made that deal to recirculate Dallas in 2021.

He was making that move then. So trying to put a casino in the state won't allow it, and they're basically saying, okay. All right. We're going to move this team. Let's take the value of this franchise and see what y'all talk about now. A casino in the state.

So let's get off Luca. Pray for Mavs fans. Okay, I know we have not always seen eye to eye, but I hope it works out for y'all. But let's get off Luka. Prayers for Mavs fans. Okay, I know we have not always seen eye to eye, but I hope it works out for y'all. But let's keep this thing moving. So after missing the last 15 games while dealing with knee swelling, former MVP Joel Embiid made his return to the court as the Sixers took on the Luka-less Mavs in Philly Tuesday night. But despite missing more than a month,

the process gave Sixers fans reason for cautious optimism they can still salvage this season. Let's take a look at some of the highlights. So Embiid played 36 minutes, came through with a triple-double, 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 12 for 23 from the field, but just 4 for 9 from the line. Oh, Tyrese Maxey did his thing as well, had a six-straight 30-point game, 33 points on 13-22 shooting, along with 13 assists.

Gershon Yabusele added 19 points in eight boards. An unrafted rookie, Justin Edwards, had 16 points in his fifth straight start. Kyrie played his first game since the Luka trade, showed he could still be a number one option. He had 34 points, nine boards, and four dimes. Najee Marshall had 19 points, five rebounds, and four assists off the bench. And Max Christie was solid in his debut with the Mavs with 15 points, nine rebounds, hitting all four of his three-point attempts

despite just getting with the team Christie was in late in the game as the Mavs tried to get the win, but Embiid said to Neno, can you... Oh, okay. Just, you know, doing my thing, but... So, your first game back... I already know what you're gonna say.

You go out and play this man 36 minutes, man? See, this is the issue, dog. Like, this is an issue. You got a back-to-back. You know he ain't gonna play tonight. He coming back. What's wrong with 25 minutes? What's wrong with 20 minutes? You don't get a triple?

It's fine. Fuck them numbers. Numbers don't matter now. Don't matter at this point. 15 games, was out for more than a month, 31 days, if I'm not mistaken. You come out right away, 36 minutes. Out the gate. Come on, man. So game went down to the wire. Sixers 36 minutes. Out the gate. Come on, man.

So, game went down to the wire. Sixers held on to get the win. They are 8-6 with Embiid in the lineup this season, 5-2 in their last seven games. So, Embiid has only played 14 games this season. He's averaging 25 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists. Sixers currently 11th in the East, but only 4 1⁄2 games behind the Pistons for the sixth spot.

That's how tight the Eastern Conference is right now. But, K, I'll ask you first. How much faith should the Sixers have in Embiid moving forward this season? I don't give a fuck, personally. I understand. At this point. We are no longer, so... Who gives a fuck what they're doing?

Are we waiving the no-bull agreement? Yeah, we're waiving it. Okay. Appreciate you. Yeah, we're waiving it. Add Are we? Appreciate you. Yeah, we're waving it. Addending it, if you will, to use some legal jargon. We're waving it. I'm not too happy either with my shit over here. So I got it. I think you both should just split

because the rest of the crew was looking forward to a 50-50. You know what I mean? Fuck it. We'll just take them all out. Take them all. Fuck it. We're going to Nobu. Yeah, fuck it.

We'll just take y'all. Yes. Fuck it. Fuck it going to Nobu. Yeah, fuck it. We'll just take y'all out. Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here on the show. We are still getting our Nobumi. Yeah, but no, I don't know. I had some shit to say to him last week. I don't give a fuck what he do, what they do now. I understand. All things considered.

Fuck if he play, if he don't play. But personally, like, no. But I know we should play 30 minutes the first game back, but. It seems rather ludicrous if you would even. I hope they fucking don't make the playoffs. Like, I hope they don't. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't play, but personally, like, no. But I know we should play 30 minutes the first game back, but. It seems rather ludicrous, if you would, even. I hope they fucking don't make the playoffs. Like, I hope they remain fucking 11, 12, and yeah, fuck them. It's a business, I get it, but.

Yeah. Negocio, that's Negocio. Yeah, that's all. That's Panyo. Two thumbs up to him. The couch is unified. Hey. So let's get to the, we have some other things or shit to talk about, but actually I'll ask you again.

Is Paul George hurt again? Paul George is. Your motherfucker finger was hanging off. Huh? Motherfucker couldn't, something was wrong with his. Couldn't tape that bitch up? No, he didn't have, no, he needed. Like a nerve?

From what, yeah, from what I explained, it was like, he can't, like they gotta tape it, it's like stuck. Put it together? Something bad with it, I think it's on the shooting hand. Yeah, left finger tendon sprain. Left, yeah, whatever it is, it's I think it's on the shoe name. Yeah, left finger, tendon. Left, yeah, whatever it is. It's some... Sound good for a school... Yeah, I hear you.

I'm just... Hey, we're hearing like the... No, but I... What's that, the tricky? I'm a tricky? Take my strong hand! Take my strong hand! But... Shout out to KJ for taking this in stride, brother.

And B, still not doing the back-to-back thing, Gil. Why is he playing? Yeah. What is the point? Like, what are you... It doesn't make sense. Your whole team is injured. It's not like you play the younger guys to get experience.

Your older guys that you're banking on ain't playing. And you're still trying to bring him back to do what exactly? What is he going to come back and do what? Let's say he can't play back-to-back with that knee. The fuck, you think he's going to win a championship? He couldn't beat nobody when he was healthy. Is he going to run through Giannis and he's going to run through Boston?

He couldn't do it when he was MVP status, right before MVP status. So now he's half man. So all that's going to happen is he's just going to linger on this injury. Sit his ass down. Paul George sit down. There's no point.

This season's fucked. It was fucked when training camp started, and he was coming out of it. You didn't see the writing on the wall then Sit these two down Suit up for next season. Let all these young dudes ball Let them get experience because you're gonna need them. Yeah, you're gonna need them You don't need him beat right now. He had a triple-double cool. He can't play today

Great You don't need Embiid right now. He had a triple-double coup. He can't play today. Great. Nice. Like we mentioned, Embiid under contract through 2029, I believe, signed that three-year extension. We had Dwight Howard on the show earlier in the year, earlier in the season, excuse me. And Dwight basically said, you know, after Embiid's comments about he just focused on championships now, he doesn't worry about individual accolades, why play the heavy

36-minute workload and not break that up into, you know, 20-20 each game? At least make yourself available to be out there. Give yourself a chance to climb out of this hole. If that's what the team goal is, to win a championship. But you said fuck it, pack it up for the season. I said that the first week? He started off the season injured and then Paul George tweaked his eat season over with No, no when it caught it come on cut the billable cord man, let's sit down y'all go sit down I know I'm paying you but shit. I still owe you more money And if you keep lingering on that means next season Can't play back-to-back. Like, how long

are you going to keep trying this little routine? Sit them two down. Him and his finger. Sit it down. Fingers and legs. Sit down. Use some nice little suits. Whatever the fuck you want to do. Stay in shape a little bit. Right? Eat right. I don't care. But these young fellas,

I'm going to play you. I need you to get the experience. Spare. That's it. Maxie, come on. Hey, do you. Oh, he going to do that? Do you.

Would you trade him? Who? Embiid. Rui Hachimor, Jay Vinson. I mean. You know that? But y'all quick to package. Y'all team.

Rui, Jay Vinson, Christian Wood. Oh, boy, they ain't no loyalty Rui, Gabe, Vincent, Christian Wood. They got a package. No loyalty, boy. Listen. You ain't. Boy, they quick to package the Lakers up. Blame Nico Harrison. Boy, hey.

This is the game, right? This is the game. They quick to package. He didn't even think about it. He gave it. Shamar Moore. We got a two or three pack. Always ready.

Shamar been balling. Always ready. We got two or three players ready. Shamar been balling. That's funny. I probably would have. You would have? Or so now it's too late? The only reason I would have, because I see him in real time.

Right? I'm watching him. I'm seeing his eating habits. I'm seeing his workout habits. I'm watching it. Right? So it becomes that 2000... Was it 3-4 season that summer? When, yeah, Shaq, he looked good, but, I mean, two years from now, what do you think he'll look like? After Miami.

You know what I mean? Kobe's sitting there like, hey, whoosh. How old is he? Who, Embiid? 32. And 233. Give he? Who, Embiid? 32. Give me a second. Embiid? He is 30 years old, turns 31 in March.

All right, man. How is this any... Here we go. I'm not going to say how. You know the hustle. From a Knicks fan. We're the Berks certificate. I'm not going to say how is it different, but... How would the league respond if we would've traded Joel Embiid two years ago?

Would it be the same response like the Luka response? Two years ago? Yes. Yeah, for sure. Before Embiid? Yeah. Before Embiid. So think about the rightness on that wall. Before the major injury happened,

before he really, really went down. He was still injury-prone. They seen it on the walls. So if there's a mysterious reason why Luka gets traded, there ain't no mysterious reason why he should be traded. Why hasn't he been traded? I think certain people make decisions to try to beef up the the confidence for other owners to make moves but they ain't make no moves they trust in the

process still yeah i mean could think about 36 minutes and we're trusting the process we're going to trust another five more years to mitigate 20 minutes and 20 minutes and 20 minutes for what that's not 20 minutes not going to help us win. It's not because we need him at this capacity. Last year when he came back for the last seven, eight games, what did he do for us? He got us into the playoffs to the first round. We lost in the first round because he hadn't had that mojo

going into that momentum. But to get us there, after injury, now think about what they're trying to do now. How many big games can we play a man and we win and show we just played against Dallas and we beat them with Joel? No PG. Take the night off because we

ain't playing a big team. Who they playing tonight? Uh, what is it? Pistons? Or am I tripping? Who they playing tonight? Let me see. The Sixers. Give me one second. Uh, they're at the Heat. They're playing the…

Heat are at the Sixers tonight. Heat are at the… Come on. We just beat Dallas. Mm-hmm. Just sit out. Chill. Who we got next after that?

Uh, after that, Shod, you have the Pistons, then the Bucs. Wait for the Bucs. Take these next two games off and we're gonna beat the Bucs. So we gonna show thats. Take these next two games off, and we're going to beat the Bucs. We're going to show that we can beat the good teams. We're going to play again. Show we can beat the good teams, because then the good teams are going to be left in the playoffs. He's playing against the bad teams. He's playing against the Pistons.

No, he's saying you're not playing in the back-to-back. Just beat Dallas. Which was supposed to be a bad team. A watered-down Dallas team. A watered-down shit. Dallas AD. No watered-down shit. Dallas. No, but it's the team that's gone. Dallas has been struggling without Luka.

Don't have AD yet. Still a good team. Morale. Let's talk about team morale, confidence as a team, right? Boom. Go play Miami. Go play Detroit. We might lose both of those games, but we ain't worried about it

because we're not thinking about the trajectory of losing to those type of teams. We played Milwaukee. Come on, Joel. You and Giannis line up. Make this a thing. Just to see what it look like. Detroit nice, though. Yeah.

That's what I'm saying. Like, if he play or don't play, it don't matter. It don't matter. So what's the reason for him playing, then? Because, like, to see if he can play in the playoffs against the good teams. Why do we care? Because you're going to make a playoff push. But you see what happened last playoff push.

You got to get there. You didn't have Paul George. You didn't have Paul George. He came back for six, seven games. That's right now. That's why I say playoff push. You said he wasn't ready. You get there in the playoffs, and PG ready, and you ready, and Maxie ready,

and I can actually say to myself, I'm going to play in big games, 36 minutes, and we're going to do it like this. Well, here, let me throw this out there. Every other day in the playoffs. I said it. Let me throw this out there. I said it. It's last year, right?

You're back to back. That ain't a back to back, though. Every other day is not a back to back. I said you came back for the playoffs, and what happens if you miss the beginning of next year? And I said it. You're coming back for seven games. You're not going to win it, so you're just coming back to do what?

So, Gil, to your point that the Sixers should probably tank this year, just to give you a little bit more detail... They ain't tank. They suck. If this guy only plays 45%. He can only do so much. Like, his talent is oozing out, but he's still not 100%. And he is not healthy enough to carry this team to the championship.

You go to the first round, the second round, I'm jeopardizing your health? For a first round, a second round? If you allow me to, I will. If you agree that you want to go out there and play. Never got that second round. Bro, I'm not going to stop you from doing it. But here's the thing. So the Sixers get to keep their draft pick

if it falls in the top six. If not, it goes to the Thunder. If it... In the top six, they get it. They get it. If not, it goes to the Thunder. So now, just to echo your point... What are y'all doing, man?

What are they doing, man? So we asked the chat, what should the Sixers do with Embiid? You sitting here trying to lose the pick. Yes. To give it to the Thunder. Because they need help.

Because they need fucking help. Sam Presti. Yeah. They need more picks. They need more picks. So we asked the chat, what should the Sixers do with Embiid? I'm afraid they're all fucking going to be seven and they're going to lose that bitch. Losing it? Which is the Sixers do with their B for gonna be seven and they gonna lose that bitch losing it

So 63% of the chat thinks that the Sixers should trade and be 25% said they should rest them 12% said they should plan but let's keep it moving We have to talk about a former sixer that is on the move our favorite former sixer Kenya Martin jr. Two second round picks are headed to the Detroit Pistons in a cost-cutting move for Philly Kane, how do you feel about the move right now with KJ going to the Pistons? I mean, I just want the kid to get the opportunity to play basketball without getting caught up in the business of basketball. Because every move he's been has been Houston, they drafted guys, played the same position, not worry about the stuff that he's done. Clippers got involved with the James Harden trade. Had nothing to do with him.

This situation ain't got nothing to do with him. So I just wanted to get, man, be able to hoop without getting caught up in the business side of it. I understand this business, but just going out, man, somebody believe in him, let him rock out without having to look over his shoulder. I thought he was getting there in Philly. He was going, I ain't, earned more playing time. I thought he was getting there in Philly. He was going to earn more playing time.

Started the last one. Before he got hurt, there was seven and three, the games that he started. So he was playing well, man. So he worked his ass off over the summer, shooting a high clip from three. Going to always shoot a high clip from two because he takes good shots, man.

Just want to go hoop, go man his spirits are good so he just want to play basketball man all right so we'll see still only 24 years old absolutely still young man you're five and he's only it's it's hard to think about but at the end of the day the reason he's moving so much because he is an asset yeah So right. Yeah, so I explained to him in that way right mm-hmm like Jeff Green played for 12 teams. He's still playing right Drew Gooden played for 12 teams Good basketball players with good movable contracts for teams. It's unfortunate you fit that, but you are. You know how to play the game.

You're a good person. You're good for the locker room. You don't cause no trouble. You're going to show up, work your ass off, do your job. So this is why this is. So we talked about exactly what you're saying. If there's a God in heaven, he'll be in the purple and go soon. You know what I'm saying?

But no, he just want to play basketball. We can almost have the couch. Now he can roll. Yeah, because he'm saying? But, nah, man, he just want to play basketball. We can almost have the couch. We need it. We need it. Now he can roll. Yeah, because he worked his ass out this summer, man. He really concentrated on what he needed to work on. So, yeah, nah, man. Like I said, he in a good place.

And for y'all that said I was going to cry again, fuck you. Um... None of us said that, Ken. Not y'all, but... Hold on. hold on. Yeah. No, no, man. Last year, like I said, it had nothing to do with me, man.

But... Yeah. You was directed at towards me. No. You had a bat in my hand. What the hell did I do? No, no, no. No, I mean, he in a good place.

No, we're in a good place, man. We are... So, whatever happens, if it's going to be to stay there, which we think it is, I think he fits what JB Biggest Al preaches as a coach. He fits that. So there should be opportunity there. There's a lot of young guys there.

They play fast. They play fast. They kick the ball up there. They like third in the league in fast break points. So they play to fit his style. If given the opportunity, man, any coach will love him because he's going to do everything you ask of him, man. He plays bigger than he is. Like I said, he's worked his ass off on his shot

shooting the high clip, man. So, no, it's just opportunity. It's all he needs, man, to go out there, motherfucker, and not be able to get caught up in the business side of it. Speaking of the business side, Kenyon, Tuesday was the Mavs' second game since the Luka trade,

but Kyrie's first on the floor without his former running mate. After the game, Kyrie spoke for the first time since Luka's departure, offered these thoughts on how he was impacted by the trade. It's still a grieving process right now. Miss my hermano. You know, we had a lot of time together.

You know, Keith, too, and Maxie. And, you know, we just built some bonds that went beyond the basketball court. So if anybody can understand at home, you know, when someone or a few group of people or a few people leave in a trade, it's going to be difficult. And that's what we're dealing with right now. But, you know, this or a few group of people or a few people leave in a trade it's gonna be difficult and that's what we're dealing with right now but um you know this is a business it's way above my pay grade you know and I just got adjusting and be ready to welcome in my new teammates with open arms and kind of be ready to go back to Dallas to speak in front of our fans. I know they're feeling it too. I'm feeling it too guys.

So yeah, it's just an adjustment period and I don't wanna downplay this either or disrespect our new guys. They're gonna help us win and gonna help us build towards the championship. But just like everyone else at home, when you kind of see it from afar, it hurts. This is a weird case in NBA history to be a part of, but at the same time it's the nature of our business, and it is a ruthless business. So you've just got to be ready to pick up the pieces and still run towards the championship. That's the ultimate goal on why I play.

Having other guys that are championship winners too helps. But, you know, at the same time, we still have to acknowledge that, you know, our little Slovenian president is no longer here and we got to adjust. Our little Slovenian president is no longer here. We got to adjust. What's your guys' reaction? You've all seen the business side of it can be ruthless at times. Oh, yeah.

Very ruthless in some cases. But what's your reaction to Kyrie's comments on how he was impacted by the Luka trade? Let's start with the non-Lakers side. Nah, we knew how he was gonna handle it, man. Sorry, no, you ain't shit, Gil. Yeah. He's definitely been a part of a lot of history stuff.

Yeah, he is. Nah, he's't shit, Gil. He's definitely been a part of a lot of history stuff. Yeah, he is what he is. No, he's a professional, man. It's gonna bother him, but he's not gonna do anything to shit on the new guys, like he said. So it's an opportunity for them to build and grow with the new guys, man. It's unfortunate that they, guys have grown those relationships in locker rooms and outside of that.

But you still can have that relationship with that person, friendship, whatever it is. You know what I'm saying? But not to have that every day. I get it, man. It's business. And a lot of basketball left to be played for everybody. So, like you said, let's get to it. Right?

Yeah. And we talked about Kyrie's get to it, right? Yeah. And we talked about Kyrie's been on both sides of that business. Losing Luka, but has wanted to play with AD for a while now. So seems like if I'm going to lose Luka, at least I got a guy who I've wanted to play with now coming through. But Kyrie does have a player option this summer. Wait, did he want to play with AD with Luka?

Yeah. I'm just for sure. No, I think back in Boston with AD with Luka? Yeah. I'm just... No, I think back in Boston, when AD was with the Pelicans. Oh, okay. Okay, okay. No, no. It was just chicken. But they were talking about that.

Like, damn. I said chicken and rice, goddamn it. I'm just rice. I'm just rice myself. You got a big bowl of rice? Rice with a little bit of salt and pepper. Yeah. But, Shaf, are you hearing that?

What's your reaction to Kyrie's comments on Luka getting traded? I don't know, man. It's just, I think I remember a couple years ago, year and a half ago, sitting here and remembering they're just coworkers. Guys's just co-workers. Guys are just co-workers. Yeah.

All right, so as soon as the trade happened, it's... Next. What's up? Ain't no adjustment period for what? I'm confused. I'll just be confused. Because I thought that was just me that made friends. Some people do. But more times than not, guys are co-workers.

And I stand on it. I said it recently. And that's why that don't sound weird. How? Some guys develop friendships. Absolutely. Nick was friends with him. They're still friends.

Y'all said I was following KG. Is that your friend now? Nope. You and KG are not friends now? So, my point is that, Rashad. People fault, we always ask to fault. But that was your friend, that was your coworker when y'all were playing.

But it was fault, no, we were friends when we were playing. No, that wasn't your friend, bro. Because we're not friends now? Wasn't your friend. Because we're not friends now? But can we repair the... Hold on. KG is local.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. A true friendship. You don't lose true friendships? You don't lose friends? Yeah. Do you lose friends?

Uh-huh. Do you lose friends because you're coworkers, or you lose friends because of other co-workers or do you lose friends because of other things that people don't know about? Still, co-workers, bruh. First and foremost, your co-workers. Then you develop a relationship with those co-workers. Yeah.

Everybody don't develop those relationships with every co-worker. Are they your friends or your work friends? Work friends. Work friends, but then sometimes that... Whatever happens, they can upgrade to regular friends. so you realize you have like-minded interests. You guys are the same. You're similar, so these things carry on. But outside of this common thing that y'all have with,

whether it's you work at fucking Kinko's, you play for the Raiders, you got damn baseball, whatever the profession is, you got them baseballs, whatever the profession is. You're a lawyer, you're whatever it is. Every lawyer don't get a lawyer, every lawyer don't talk to everybody in their office and they firm. They gravitate towards some people. They might go to lunch together every motherfucking day together, because they work in the same office. Couldn't tell a motherfucker where they live.

So that was the case with me and KG? How many kids they have? Is that the case with me and KG? So, so, so if I'm getting- Since you're saying we were just coworkers. So if I'm in the NBA, right, and I'm getting married, right, and I'm on this team for about maybe two years, and I just invite everybody to the, that's on the team to my wedding, that mean we friends?

No. No. It does not mean you're friends. You may just like wedding gifts. Or you, see. You might just be impolite. I mean, cause your wedding, you supposed to invite, right, like, family and friends.

And friends and family. And people that you, and friends and family, right? Yeah. And that's how you get to, and that's how you get to the motherfucking, you got a hundred people at your fucking wedding. Right, for sure. What the fuck, you don't?

No, no, a hundred. That's your be there, that that care that really fucking care about you Your well-being how your children are doing how your mother's doing How your grandmother's doing they call you and actually like those are friends when times are not we're not here When they call and they care about your fucking well-being you don't know that many people to invite to your fucking wedding Guarantee, if you die... They knock all them people out. All them motherfucking people

ain't gonna be there. So that's Luca and Kyrie relationship? I don't know them. I don't, yeah. Fuck, so I'm not gonna speculate. The words out of this man's mouth. They were close friends. But you speculate with me

and KG relationship. Tell me how... They're still coworkers first. What that mean? They developed a relationship. You're coworkers first. You're not friends, you don't... Me and KG relationship tell me how there's still co-workers first what that means they develop the relations Your co-workers first You're not gonna be there friends. Oh, hold on. So if you So if you play in Minnesota, are you gonna be friends cuz y'all do the same thing with nigga that play in Miami?

That you never around y'all do the same thing. Yeah Huh? How you don't know him? I do know him. No, you don't. You know what he do. Y'all got the same profession. Mm-hmm. So how are we friends? I just asked you that.

That was my question to you. Obviously, we hung out. We met. No, you don't know him. Y'all got the same profession, though. How do you know him? He play in Miami. You play in Minnesota.

And we never met same profession We know everybody in the basketball community. No, I do not I don't know these no problem. We know all of them We don't know these motherfuckers like know them. I don't know him. I know of them When you get on the team, uh-huh You develop a relationship with one of the players on the team that you didn't know. Okay. You become friends with him. You telling me we can't do that?

Yes, I'm saying that. Yes, I said that. Remember, the friendship is mutual. They did. Friendship is mutual. Both of y'all are, it's both. I just said we become friends. He did it with Nick.

I didn't say I said I'm your friend and you just so we have alone So we have a breathing living prime example right here He was there him and Nick First was co-workers. Mm-hmm Nick came to the team. They were co-workers first They realized we have like we think the same have fun. We like the last joke we said it up It worked for them He was teammates with Etan Thomas. Mm-hmm Could

Meet team co-worker Nick was your rook you moved him in and you know, you know, I know the story doesn't you know, I know the story We became know like you were friends immediately. You trusted him immediately. He was your rook just like how did he become? He gave me the coast to the crib. I was just like KG. So how did he become that? KG gave me the codes to the crib. I was at the crib every day. How did you become that? He trusted me. No, how did I got there?

He was a rook. No, no, how did you? So you just walked off the fucking street. Like, KG, you want to be my friend? No. They drafted you, right? No. John Lucas was KG's homie.

Did the Minnesota Timberwolves draft you? Homie. Uh-huh. Did the Minnesota Timberwolves draft you? When he started seeing how Saudi rocked, he was like, yo, I fuck with Youngfella. But how did you get there? How did you get there? What you mean?

I got on the team. How? They drafted you, right? Okay. So if they don't pick you, are you in a situation to be his coworker? No. My point exactly, Rashawn. But that has nothing to do with friendship.

So you guys were... I could still to do with friendship. So you guys... I could still run into KG. I could still run into KG and become friends with him because I'm a cool motherfucker. The chances of that are slim to none. Slim to none? Yes. Then I'm not a cool motherfucker.

No, you are cool. I can't be. I can't be. I'm a real motherfucker. That's the only reason we became friends. Because I was good. Because you was in a position. Because you was his co-worker first. No, because you was his co-worker first. No, no, no, no. If you was not... I was a part motherfucker. That's the only reason we came, friends. Because I was good. Because you was in a position. Because you was his co-worker first.

Nah, because I'm a real motherfucker. No, because you was his co-worker first. Nah, nah, nah, nah. If you was not. I was a part of his little family. If the men, listen, if you would have been. So you knew KG before you got to Minnesota? I didn't know KG.

So if you played for the Chicago Bulls and you that same cool motherfucker and you never was his teammate, how? Hey, KG, what's up? You the same cool motherfucker? Hey, KG, what's up, my G? I think I'm a cool motherfucker, too. I don't hang out with these people. You think KG would have talked to you if you weren't on the team?

Because they said KG don't even talk to rookies or nobody. He don't even... That's what I'm saying. He gravitated towards you. He liked you. Exactly. They said he was mean. I didn't even talk to KG.

I'm serious. But you became friends. Because you was his coworker first. No, no. He wasn't friends with everybody on the team. Exactly. My point exactly, Rashad. So how did he become my friend? Because he gravitated towards you. Because coworker first. No, no. He wasn't friends with everybody on the team. Exactly. My point exactly, Rashad. So how did he become my friend?

Because he gravitated towards you. Because I'm cool. Right, because you were there. Because I'm cool. No. If everybody was cool, guess who he would be friends with? Not at all. Everybody.

Guess who wasn't cool? Everybody wasn't cool. Was Etan Thomas cool? Etan was cool. Was Brandon cool? Brandon was cool. Who else that you didn't hang out with, were they cool? Michael Ruffin was cool. Who else was cool that you didn't hang out with? Antonio Danes was cool. Was Brandon cool? Brandon was cool. Who else was that you didn't hang out with that was, were they cool? Michael Ruffin was cool.

Who else was cool that you didn't hang out with? Antonio Daniels was cool. Were they cool? They were cool, right? You thought of them as cool. Am I cool? Who did you gravitate for? Am I cool?

Who did you gravitate for? You hang out with me after this. Who did you gravitate to? We don't hang out after this. Nick Young. Why? I wonder which I never invited, but we bonded. Right?

We realized that we didn't have... I had a lot of cool teammates. I had a lot of cool teammates. And then I just gravitated to Steven Jackson. Right. That was... I was cool with... Jason Richardson.

Jason Richardson. So my two, my two, I can say those are my friends. Yes. Like, friends. Jay Rich and Nick Young. Yeah. So... Meaning, like, if there's nothing that can happen, me and Nick Young will fight about it.

And shit can hit the fan. And you can call him and depend on him today. In 2025, today. Can you do that? No. Motherfucker ain't your friend, dog. We've seen you. I'm not his friend.

But you know that's hard. I'm not his friend. I'm not his friend, but you know that I'm not his friend I might always do I by choice don't want to contact any niggas in the NBA as friends So if I wanted to guess what Actually friendship during the fucking Summer League, uh-huh. We're fucking... What was it? Summer League. We was running into all kinds of motherfuckers, wasn't we? Shia, take my number. Shia, take my number.

You know how many motherfucking numbers I got in my phone for niggas that played me? Me too. Me too. These were old friends. These were not workers. These were not co-workers. These were old friends that I lost so nervous. So I don't mean

NBA to make you are not around and to make you so to make Right, but we're making argument point right so make an argument approval point once again Rashad You play for how long? Not enough. No you play for four years, right? I don't know you're asking me a rhetorical question. You already know how long I've played. And I played for 15, so who had more teammates?

The guy that played for 15 years or four years? What does that have to do with anything? Because... More teammates. Who's your... So opportunity to have more guys to be friends with within the team. Bro, you beat people up. Three people. You beat people up. Three people.

You beat people up. Three people. What are you talking about? It's 450 people every year in the league. Man, everybody's scared of you. Man, what are you talking about? Who? How everybody?

Ain't nobody scared of me. What's the theme music for him? Please play the theme music. Nobody scared of me. Please play his theme music. Ain't nobody scared of me. Oh, man. For what?

For what? For what? I don't bother nobody. You a cool motherfucker. You punched T-Mac. I don't use that on him. He got up too quick, Sean. That was a reaction. He got up too quick.

That was a reaction. T-Mac ain't getting up like, I want to be friends with T-Jun. That was a reaction. Now, to be honest. Are we cool now? Yes. Hey, man. To be honest, like we cool now? Yes. Hey, man. To be honest, like.

Cool, not friends. Real friendship in the NBA, this shit is hard. That is not an easy thing because it's moving parts, right? You can be traded. You can be there. It is personalities. It's who bombed the most. And when you're playing in the season, we're not trying to really bond. You know, we might have the same interest as go to the most. And when you're in the... When you're... When you're playing in the season, we're not trying to really bond.

You know, we might have the same interests as go to the club, throw the strip club. Like, you know what I mean? Like, so, it's really hard to just say we're friends more than we are co-workers that get along, right? I go to lunch, I fuck with him. We go to the strip club, he pay for the bill,

But in the summer, I don't call that motherfucker., but it's and it was easier for you and Nick because y'all are from here here Even though I never came here, but y'all are from here. So this we laughed at the same bullshit I went back to Dallas what nobody from Dallas that I played on the team with And then, Jersey. Everything y'all saying is exactly why I don't have no NBA friends. Me neither.

Everything y'all saying is why, because niggas is saying they don't want to have friends. It's like, hey, if we cool, like Javaris. I came from a different era, bro, where if we cool, we cool. Like Javar. I came from a different era, bro, where if we cool, we cool. This is my nigga right here. Play on my team or not. Summertime or not.

That's family, but it's different when you from something else, bro. I don't even know what y'all talk about. I don't even know what y'all talk about. As a friend, you gotta hit him up

to see how he doing. Right? We were professional athletes. So a majority of us get how we got there is our ego. Right? So we are too proud to hit each other. You shouldn't be too proud to hit your friend up.

You don't know what he's going through. He don't know what you're going through. So let me put shit in perspective here with friendship. And motherfuckers who don't give a fuck about you, whether they're a co-worker or not. I got a motherfucker who I bought a house for. I grew up with this motherfucker.

I bought him a fucking house, him and his wife. I don't talk to this motherfucker to this day. Bought him a house that he raising his fucking children in. We fell out because this motherfucker, I'm getting him a car, and he asks me what kind of car. Somebody was getting another car, and I was about to get him, and he wanted to know what kind. Mm.

It be like that, yeah. Entitlement. Entitlement. Friends? Mm-hmm. Huh? Nah, bruh. Coworkers. What kind? Grow up with with a motherfucker, right? You ain't tell him what kind of car?

The fuck would I do it for free? Why you asking that? It's free! I don't wanna fucking know! But it's free! Exactly. Is it a fucking surprise? Exactly. Is it a surprise?

I don't fit in that motherfucker. You gonna fit is free. You gonna take it back? I wouldn't get that one. It's free. It's just a little too small for me. But I don't think somebody will get you a car that you can't. Don't get that mustard colored thing. No, no. That ain't my thing. It's free. I'm allergic to that shit, bro.

You know what's so funny? I get irritated about shit like if I buy you a present or if I buy you a present, or if I give you a gift, I go, I go to the motherfucking store and get you something, and then you take it back to get something you like?

Yeah, that's disrespectful. That's disrespectful. You know what I mean? Like, just keep the shit, right? Wear it a couple times. You didn't tell me, hey, man, I, I, I, I, I, you know, next time you give me something, give me this. Yeah.

Cool, but if I go out and do it myself, and then you like, all right, I'm gonna take it back, I'm gonna get something. No, these dudes, man, like, you can see, listen. Because, because now I don't want... You said best friend. I don't want to do shit for them. My own mama did.

Yo, you see what I'm saying? So it's shit, but... So these dudes in the league, right, that you consider friends and that... Teammates, right?

The Lakers return to the Intuit Dome to take on the Clippers for the second time this season after taking a loss in their first meeting. You said Phoenix. What? You said Phoenix. I said the Intuit Dome. Intuit. Intuit Dome.

He took it to the Dome. That was a the dome. They was in the dome. They took it to the dome. They was in the dome. That was. Hey, hey, hey. Damn, that was a great. That was a great line. That was a live segue. It was a live segue. Segway J, baby.

In the dome. Can you call me Segway J? I can't be mad no more. I can't be mad. So, the Lakers returned to the Clippers home arena for the second time this season after taking a loss in their first meeting. But this time they had the new face of the franchise with them as Luka Doncic was on the bench for his first official game

with the Purple and Gold, and LeBron and company put on a show for their new teammate. Let's take a look at the highlights if we can. We were watching this on playback. After being named Western Conference Player of the Week and surpassing MJ as the oldest player in league history to win that award, LeBron picked up where he left off this week, helping the Lakers take a 16-point lead in the first quarter

and never looking back. LeBron finished with 26 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals. He was 8 for 13 from the field. Austin Reeves added 20 points, 9 dimes, and 6 rebounds. Rui also had 20 and 6 boards. Dalton connecting. Gabe Vincent, a.k., aka Shemar Moore, combined for 26 points off the bench.

Jesus. And most important, I was watching a little of some of these highlights, Gil. We were watching this on playback.tv slash gilbertarenas. Make sure you subscribe to our room to check out our watch party. Nothing like playing basketball with a willing passer, man.

Ah, what a beautiful time. Look out there cheesing. Yes. Loving it. Best third option. Smiling through it all. Smiling through it all. Can't believe this is my...

Hey! Yeah, you see what time it is, Mr. B? Come on home. Come on home. Ronnie out there playing. Norah Powell led the Clippers with 20 points. Derrick Jones added 17, while Kawhi and Harden were held to just 18 points combined in the game.

Lakers have won seven of their last eight games. Yeah, Kawhi fucked up our pick-em yesterday. Now just a game behind the Nuggets for the fourth spot in the West. Also have to mention, Bronny James knocked down his first career three. We'll have more on that in a moment in his flawless Black History Month today. But after the game, LeBron was...

You didn't listen to shit the other day, huh? Damn, Iron was... You didn't listen to shit the other day, huh? Damn. I can't... You didn't listen to nothing I said the other day. I tell facts on this show. He got a flawless Black History Month. No, we gonna let Bronny have his three. We ain't go discuss it. Mm-hmm. He definitely said it.

I said we gonna let him have his success. I think he was ignoring you. I think he fucking ignored me, too. I think he fucking did it on purpose. I think he's... I think he's trying to... Try to flatten them tires on the bikes. Yeah. Try to flatten the tires.

You don't think it's still squeaky? I'm not checking my chain anymore. It's still squeaky. We got Luca. We got Luca here now. We did the crackhead check. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. Let's talk about Luca.

We will talk about Luca. Let's keep it moving. Because we're going to let Bron have his success. He made his three. Congratulations, and move the fuck up. OK, well, we'll do that. We will do that for you. Yeah, Joe.

You are absolutely right. We'll do that. Yeah. Yeah, okay, well, we'll do that. We will do that. Yeah, Joe. You are absolutely right. We'll do that. Let him hit that three. Let him hit that three. Let him hit that three. Now, next, let's go. Move it up. But back to...

Can't do that on you first, though. Back to the real one. No, you ain't made one. When you won for 10, you can't do it. No, no, one for 10. Yeah, that. He burned me. He burned me. No, no, motherfucker. He burned me and downed 30. Back to the real one That's his shit. That's his shit. Like, no. Everybody's sitting there like, no, bro, man. Read the rules. After the game, LeBron was asked if he had any concerns with the Lakers no longer being on his timeline and building towards the future with Luka

and had this to say. What's wrong with that? If I had concerns, I would have waived my no trade clause and got a body. And you still feel like, you said earlier this year, right, you still envision yourself finishing your career here? I mean, listen, I'm here right now. I'm here right now. I'm committed to the Lakers organization.

I'm here to help Luca and Maxie make the transition as smooth as possible. Smooth been here before, so he already know know we won a championship with him in 2020, so I ain't worried about him. But as a leader of the team, as one of the captains of the team, it's my job to make it as seamless as possible. So Gilby, you had the same thought when you said Maxie

at first. I wasn't thinking Cleaver. I was thinking, are we getting Tyrese? I don't know. Here we go. We got Rui, Gabe, Mison, Christian Wood. No, I'm just kidding. So thought it was like. Here we go. We got Rui Gay missing. Christian Wood. No, I'm just kidding. But so we talk about Lakers no longer being on the bronze timeline building toward the future with this Luka trade.

But let's talk about the now. Lakers looking mighty, mighty good in the Western Conference. Game behind the Nuggets for the fourth spot. Gil, does the Luka trade increase or decrease? 2026, man. Do I got to write the script? Do I got to show you the? You don't even know what the, man. Do I got to write the script? Do I got to show you the? You don't even know what the question is.

Do I got to show you the script? Do I got to show you the script? I'm sorry, do I got to show y'all the script? I hope it was written by Michael Starbury. 2026, man. Just let it go. You know what I mean? Just let that shit go.

It's going to be a big summer for Luka. That man, that man, Luka about to beat just... So, but does the Luka trade increase or decrease your belief the Lakers can be a contender this season? 2026, you're saying they're going to get a chip, but this season, can they be in the running? Hey, man, listen. I'm going to just be honest.

We watched Luka night in and night out. We've seen his teammates. We've seen, you know, who they were, what he did with that, him and Kyrie. I can't put nothing past him. I can't either, kid. I mean, just, like, what he was doing last year, like, was brilliant basketball.

Yeah, we can complain about, you know, not D running back, crying, and all of that. But when he's locked in, that motherfucker's locked in. I think some of those bad habits he has, LeBron is going to help him clean that up. For sure. I think he's going to help him try. For sure.

Help him be a professional. For sure. No, that's a fact. For sure. Yeah, all right. This is going to be a crazy summer for Luke. I don't think nobody's ever noticed this. In 22 years, 22 years of LeBron being on the team,

have you ever heard of any scandal or anything of a teammate in the public eye? In a scandal? That's the teammate of Braun's? Tristan Thompson, he wasn't there. Not a scandal, just an unfortunate situation. That was media bringing that, but you never seen, like, pulled over, nothing. He teaches the people how to move On and off on and off the floor like Luca has it like, you know for the most part who taught Luca how to be a pro

Dirk wasn't I mean him. I mean him being a pro overseas But that's that's over there like the euro Where it's controlled control, right? right? So, practicing twice a day. And 18. He was a kid then. His parents still involved. So, he's learning how to... I mean, you just learn something. So, I think just how to be the face of something, I think... Luka and Dirk did have one crossover season.

There's one crossover season. No, but that's why I said I like the trade. Whatever happens this year... So, Sean, we heard you laughing in agreement with what Gil said. You tripping LeBron, then. It's 1-1-1 right now. And it's my turn. Makes sense.

So, could you play that back? Could you play the LeBron shit back one more time? Let me hear what LeBron said one more time. Can we queue up the LeBron video one more time? I got kind of confused. I want to hear it. What's wrong with that? What'd he say what's wrong with that to you? My concerns are to raise my no-trade clause

and get up out of here. Being on Luca's timeline? Yeah, what's wrong with that? Okay, pause it. You said right here, right? You said, if I was concerned, I would have waved my no-trade clause and said, get me up out of here.

So he has no problems handing the keys over to Luca. That's what he's saying, right? All right, so if I'm AD, and we've been saying for the last two years, AD, he refused to give you the keys. Hmm? He refused to give you the keys. Who said that?

All you need are the keys, and you could be the franchise player. But he refused to give you the keys. LeBron said he would give him the keys. Oh. Soon as he leave... We're gonna make it as smooth as a transition as possible. You had the transition. The transition was there.

Smooth. Nigga, get out the way. So it don't make sense for him to say it now, and then it's like you just made a move for Luka, and now you wanna move out the way. Hmm? When you had AD and you could have moved out the way, you didn't want to move out the way.

He did. And the way he played last night, it don't look like he's moving out nobody way, no time soon. Right. No time soon. Did y'all watch him play last night? Yeah. Who's he going to move out of the way for?

Luka's more approved. He's not going to slow down. Like, he sped up last night. Yeah. He sped up last night. Yeah, there's nobody on the team. Exactly. You think, what's going to be not going to slow down. Like, he sped up last night. Yeah. He sped up last night. Yeah, there's nobody on the team. Exactly. You think, what's going to be the reason to slow down?

Luka Doncic. No, no. It's still LeBron James out there, and I can still speed up. There's Luka Doncic? A lesser LeBron James with a Luka Doncic out there, what does that do for the Lakers? Absolutely nothing. You needed a LeBron James and an AD at this level

for them to even be fifth. The problem is we've all tried to put AD at a level he just probably, like, have we figured, he just probably one of those guys who don't go to that level. What level? He is a 28 and 13. Cool, but he's 25. Well, last year, he was like 27.

Like, we're saying... What level do he need to go to? Another level. It's another level. It's guys that's your position that's averaging 30. That's averaging 31, 32. I'm third. So, AD 26, this year, 25 last year. Okay, if Melo was there... I got the greatest field in the world on my team.

I should be okay with being third. If a young Melo was there, you think it'd be hard for him to get those keys? You think Colt... Who, Luka or who? What you talking about? Young Melo over in L.A. Win LeBron.

Denver Melo. Carmelo. Denver Melo or... No, no, there's only one. There's only one Melo. There's the Melo ball and there's. Carmelo. Denver Mello or... No, no, there's only one. There's only one Mello. There's the Mello ball and there's La Mello. On this show, there's only one Mello. You know the rules, right?

La Mello. La Mello on this show, there's only one Mello on this show. Respect. On this show. I'm saying LeBron. One Jello as well. LeBron. And 7 p.m. in Brooklyn, I'm pretty sure there's only one Mello on that show.

Yeah, 38 and 39, LeBron James. And Mello was the Denver Mello or's only one Mello on that show. Yeah, the 38 and 39 LeBron James, and Mello was the Denver Mello or that New York Mello, or Kobe. You think we're going to be sitting here telling them to take the keys? No, they would have been took the motherfuckers. What? They would have been took the motherfucking keys

from LeBron James. I don't understand. I don't understand. We will take... No, it's not because it's LeBron James, bro. No, it's not. No, it's personal. It was Shaquille O'Neal,

and we see how that happened. Yeah, Dwyane Wade said, watch out. Yeah, it's the personality of the person. It's the personality. He don't have the personality. All right, when...

Okay. LeBron went to Miami. Who took the keys? Nobody. Who's the number one option? I mean, they didn't have... Who's the number one option? What keys?

Whose fucking place was it? Whose house was it? Dwyane Wade. Whose house was it? Dwyane Wade. I mean, they didn't have to. He was the number one option. What keys? Whose fucking place was it? Whose house was it? Whose house was it? Dwayne Wade's. All right, now, at a point, LeBron didn't have the keys to my house. He didn't have, he couldn't get in. All of a sudden, he's sleeping in my room.

You let him in, okay? He's sleeping, he has the keys. Okay. He's here, it's his now. We won two championships with me giving him the keys and letting him sleep in my room. AD, hey, this is my house, bro. No, no, no, AD, you sleeping in that room.

And now I just kicked you out the crib. Same scenario, right? Get out. I got a new roommate. Same scenario, right? I opened the door for you, gave you the keys, and you continue to want to go sleep in the guest room. You never gave me the keys.

Yes, I did. The whole city gave it to you. The whole city been waiting. I gave it to you. No, you being here is not having the keys. You never played without the keys. My age gave it to me. You never played without.

No, he was lying. We just watched him play yesterday. His age is not giving nothing away. Anthony Davis is not here no more. Lucas is not there no more. Anthony Davis is not here no more. Lucas is not there no more. Anthony Davis is not here no more. Come on, man. LeBron James is an all-star this year.

LeBron has said in previous seasons, I want to give AD the keys, but he got to come take them. He got to come take them. I'm dangling them. He said that in a press conference. He said that the last couple years. He said AD needs to come and take the keys from me. I'm sure he didn't.

They wouldn't be good friends if that was the case. Why not? Because you can't say that to me without just giving it to me. Don't say that to the public. Nigga, just give me the keys from me. I'm sure he didn't. They wouldn't be good friends if that was the case. Why not? Because you can't say that to me without just giving it to me. Don't say that to the public. Nigga, just give me the keys. And move out the way. What if you're not... Obviously. Obviously, you just wanted to give it to him.

Obviously, you're just a number two. You're just a great number two. There's some great number twos. You're just not a leader. That... Who? Who not a leader? I mean, there's just great number twos.'re just not a leader. That. Who? Who not a leader? I mean, it's just great number two. I don't know. Who's not a leader?

Like, we literally. No, your favorite player of all time. You just say he's not a leader? The guy is a three-time, right, three-time finals MVP. And he's sitting there like, yo, this my team. You a three-time finals MVP, and you have a guy sitting there, yo, this my team. You a three-time finals MVP and you have a guy sitting there, nah, this my... He missed the eight games of the season.

Shaq missed eight games in the 0-2-0-3 season and he couldn't get that number one spot back. This is my team now. Why do you always go to Shaq and Kobe? Because we watch what a personality do. Either you want

it or you don't. There's no giving it to you. That's one scenario in the NBA history that's so delicate that you keep bringing up because it's the only case the only case where Kobe and Shaq had to delegate who was going to

be the main guy. It was. Because someone left. Someone left. There was a delegation of power. So what happened before? I'm too cold with this shit, bro. Why was there a delegation? Why was there a delegation?

You don't think it was a conversation with the Canadian staff? Because you can't have two number ones. But there was a two number ones. Well, I mean, well. There was never two number ones. The Golden State had two number ones. There was never no two number ones. It was was a Shaquille O number number one and then cold How do we get over here though? I want to get over here Kobe now. We talk about LeBron and then we over

That's how you be switching this. Yes. That's how you be switching this shit. We just switched this here talking about LeBron James Now you talk about Kobe is that and you thought you wasekly just do that shit. We watch you in real time. We're not doing that Stop bringing Kobe Bryant into this shit That's what I was saying he took it he wasn't getting To me took give me that so when you're talking about name somebody else besides them to name somebody else Oh, well, I'm a little coming to me. That was a long talk about talk about a I going to Denver Talk about a AI going to Denver. Talk about AI going to Denver.

It's still Mellow team. Who team was it? It was Mellow team. When AI was in Denver, it was still Mellow's team. Was it two number ones? No, there's never never two number ones.

How much they average? Same. Same. Same. Exactly the same. Same. Exactly the same. 25, 25, 25.

25 point what? I don't give a fuck what the race is. Same. Exactly the same. Same. Exactly the same. 25, 25, 25. 25 point what? I don't give a fuck what the race is. 10 flat and 10.1, motherfucker. There's first place and second place. Don't pull it up. Right? Unless they average exactly the same and say co-NVP or some shit on it, it's not even.

There's always one and two. Hey, get them keys. It's just weird to be on the key shit. Don't be on the key shit now.. It's not even. There's always one and two. Get them keys. It's just weird to be on the key shit. Amari, Amari. Melo did it to Amari. That's the year of the trade. Let me see the next year.

Russell tried that shit with KD. There was a battle of power. Ooh, AI average. Don't do it. Don't do it. First season after the trade Mellow was at 28. I think I was like 25 First full season playing together. Hey, I was at 26.4 and 20 for mellow was at 25 points

Hmm, excuse me, you know 26 and 26 and 25 26 and 25 who was up mellow took more shots though. Who was no no who's up? Hmm? Hey, I yeah average more points was right but I was right so wait wait you're right so wait wait wait give me credit bro I don't want to be validated did Alan so y'all don't be calling me out he's gonna be crazy he be saying I know my shit bro it was not did Alan Iverson take it or was he giving to you it was not he was there he was there he was there but why know somebody who was there. He was there.

I'm telling you. He was there. But why did Chuck average more? What are we talking about? So who's... It's Chuck. So did he take it or was he giving it? You got to ask that.

No, that's your point. No, you got to ask that. Your point was... He was there. I know who averaged more. So who... So that means he took it. No, it don't mean it. What does it mean?

It just means that that man came over there just like anybody else in a situation where you got AD. I came here. And you did. Right? I came here. Now all of a sudden you on your way out. You get your peaks.

You get your accomplishment. You post that. Soon as we go over this, man, here. That never happened. So did Melo hand it to Allen Iverson? Just came in being him. Okay. Did Amari hand it to... Just came in being him.

Just came in... How old were they? Was he 40? Who? Amari? Allen Iverson wasn't 40. That makes it worse then, right? So you should automatically...

It shouldn't even be a conversation of who got the keys. If you were 40, we shouldn't be talking about giving him the keys. That's what I'm saying. What is stopping you from demanding a motherfucking key?

You're a LeBron James. A 38-year-old. LeBron has never been the guy to get off the ball like that. He's the number one guy. Hold on. What is stopping you? Yo, so let's slow down here, right? What is stopping you from?

Let's talk about it in basketball. Like, right, Anthony Davis' numbers with New Orleans, similar to the numbers he has now. Probably average more points than New Orleans, but they're similar. It ain't by much. Like two or three. Right, whatever. I don't even think it's that.

At his peak with the Pelicans, he averaged 28 and 11. 28 and 11. This season he averaged 26 last year. He's averaging 26 and 12. So it's two-point difference, right? Three points difference. We are talking about the fourth quarter and when the game here. This is what we're talking about here.

Giving somebody the keys. And them taking over, right? So we're talking about the fourth quarter now. No, this is what... Because the average is the third. Because the points are the same. Everything is the same for Anthony Davis, right? Except for responsibility.

Hear me out, right? Once again, to the point that I make about bigs, once again, we are reliant on the other guy giving us the ball. And if my personality is not that I'm going every offensive rebound, I'm going to go get it, or I'm going to make a scene to get the ball, or I'm going to demand that motherfucker, that's not his personality.

It's not Joker's personality either. He's the best player. He's number one option. Yeah, but he doesn't demand the ball. He's the number one. You know what they go. He goes to get it off the glass. That's what he said.

But he's the number one option. His personnel shows that. Like he just said, his personnel. goes to get it off the glass. That's what he said. But he's the number one option. His personnel shows that. Like he just said, his personnel. No, what I'm saying is... He started off as the number two option. He's the number one option. He started off as the number two option. I don't have a LeBron James in front of him.

My point is that... But he's the number one option, right? So they're going to go through him. He don't have a LeBron James. Right. Right? Right. If you put Anthony Davis in the... So luca coming into the situation right he's a delegator

of responsibilities lebron is delegates who get shots right luca does the same thing luca rebounds as well as lebron he brings it up they They delegate. If Anthony Davis, like I said about Zach Eady, if he played a different position, it might look different. So I got a question for you. But he doesn't. So his personality is I'm a really good basketball player. I get it done. If you're not throwing it to me, I'm not going to demand it. Let me ask you a question. I'm not going to complain. So, on what you said, New Orleans,

he was number one option, right? Yep. So, if you take LeBron James off this team, what is he? If I take LeBron James off the team, he's the number one option. Okay. So if you put anybody else on the team other than LeBron James, is Anthony Davis gonna be the number one option? Depends on who comes. Depends on who comes. Depends. You wanna say small forward?

Another small forward? Any other small forward? If him and Shea's on the... That's point guard. That's too much It's going too far cuz we would put anybody else I push a we know how shape play you push a you push a With Anthony Davis and the Davis is a number two option But you're not you put you put Yannis which LeBron right now you think you think Yannis is slowing down for LeBron? Oh

Well, his personality is not bro. You take LeBron right now you think you think Giannis is slowing down for LeBron? His personality is not bro. You take LeBron off that team. He's the AD's number one I think I was just like he was in New Orleans Just like he was the number one guy here. I came here not to be number two But that was a joke. Yes, who's on my team? But guess who's on my team? So he oh no When I got here who wasn't out, I got here, he wasn't out. When I got here, he wasn't out. He was LeBron James. He's still LeBron James.

So that means what? Nothing has changed. That means I'm still number two. That means go take it. What are you talking about? But he just explained it. He explained it. Can't take it if it's...

If you take LeBron off the team, Anthony Davis gets to be number one because there's no power in front of him. Not that type of power. Not that type. That type of power. It's a there's no power in front of them not that type of power That's not a type of power It's a certain time John this on his team. Yeah, I don't give a fuck about the power because John is no John is on LeBron's team. Yes Giannis is gonna have to 33 honest is a guy that has to get the ball off the rim Yeah, I don't get the ball off the rim and go he's going to get the ball off the rim and go. He's not looking for LeBron. He's going to say catch up. Half court.

It's the personality. Half court. Okay, half court. Okay, okay. Half court. Now what are we doing half court? You can't just get the ball and rebound and go. Now we got to play half court.

You're not AD. Giannis is not stopping his game from nobody. Yes, he is. He has to. The problem is Anthony Davis is just nice. No, bro. He's nice. Everybody nice.

Everybody nice when they come to LeBron. You have to. He went to the LeBron skills camp. He was a kid. Fuck LeBron James. He grew up with the dude. What does it look like? Me trying to sun my idol.

I'm trying to sun my idol. Give me the keys. No, you want to blame the idol. Why in the fourth quarter? How many shots is Ruby getting? How many shots is Reed? You can't punk them. Bro, I don't have the punk.

It is the coach's job to tell the team, listen, we're going through him. But what is he making? Is he showing that he wants to? That means you're not him. What happened with KD when Draymond Green said, I'm not passing it to you, nigga? Yeah, that was a fight between them.

Can you tell him to pass me the ball? You don't know how to... Kevin Durant did not check him. Thank you. He did not check him. It was never addressed. It was never... Man, it's my team. Move! It wasn't no... KD didn't go take

that shit and say, nah, man, I'm here now. It's my team. What you talking about? When you get the rebound, pass it to me. He didn't do none of that because that's not what we do. That's why AD didn't do that. He did it. That's why they got into it.

That's why they got into it. Yeah, they got two of them. No, they got into it. Nobody got into nothing. One guy said something, one guy listened. Okay, so. There was no getting to it. So where is the aggressive part from Anthony Davis?

This is the problem. You're talking about a guy who's not being assertive. I'm telling you, Draymond is LeBron in this situation. And KD is AD in this situation. AD is just there like, bro, I'm here trying to feed it. I know I'm the guy Hey listen, listen we did this without you money So here we go, so in New Orleans right he was the number one option we we agree. Yeah, right they added boogie cousins Yeah to that situation

He still remained the number one option boogie average 25 years 28 Mm-hmm So he is capable when he wanted when he wanted to be that and won't them take the shot then cuz he boogie was there But one year but okay one year that's not long enough to be a chair One season that was a great year boogie. So your point you just so you can't do that though, but you can't do what you just did Watch Allen Iverson and Carmela, they only play one full season together So you can't use that in knowledge and just say they only played this amount of time together. You can't do that

It's the same shit got traded throw one season certain numbers. Then they play one full season together. Okay? One full season when it's not enough. So, you know, so he still was. One full season. So it's not enough. So you don't... Okay. He still was still number one option. So he's capable. Right. Right? But in the scenario we're talking with Denver,

Melo came in and averaged more. Boogie came in, averaged less. So AD was still the number one option. Chuck came in and averaged more. That's what I'm saying. Chuck came in, averaged more. But AD... They both averaged the same in the fourth quarter. And that's what I'm saying Chuck came in average anymore, but a people average the same in fourth quarter

and that's every both us So it's the coach can't dictate You're gonna change you're gonna can't make you to know you make yourself to number one run in the play Oh, we made it if we run the play every five Oh the play is the play is for Kobe at the end Kobe made his number one option the last five minutes we all know who's going to get the ball they said so

he didn't have to go steal the ball why do we know what did he do during his years there for all of us to know who wanted the ball who's going to get the ball, and there's a three-time MVP on this team, finals MVP.

That means there was something Kobe Bryant was doing on the court to let you know, motherfucker, swing that. You hear it? Hey, bring that ball. Didn't we hear LeBron say, swing, swing, motherfucker? Swing, swing, I'm the number one. Swing, swing, I'm the number one. Swing, swing, I'm the number one. I know one person who ain't say swing, swing is Andy Davis.

Because he shouldn't have to. So once again, we come back to the fourth quarter. Why? Because it should be my team. Because without you, I wouldn't have to say swing, swing. You would show that shit to me every time. So now we go back to the fourth quarter. That is privilege. Now we go back to the fourth quarter.

So we talked to muscle We so we said Kobe took over right? Oh, yeah, he demanded it With Shaq on the team still yeah Code becomes that in the fourth quarter because they're in a penalty first three quarters fourth quarter early cuz Shaq is mm-hmm Now you got to play this motherfucker 101. Mm-hmm. Can't dub him, can't foul him. Now he's doing it. So it all...

Taking over and being you, yes. But when you got a guy that's still averaging the same amount of points, same things he's doing, it comes down to those clutch moments, come down to fourth quarter, them... Mm-hmm. Right? Them game-winning, championship-winning moments, fourth quarter, playoff moments.

Guys still who they are, man. Just because a guy shows up in those moments don't diminish that he's still the dominant fucking force. All them dudes we talking about that was averaging 1A, 1B, 1, 2, whatever you want to classify, they still... I feel like Kobe showed that he wanted to be the number one option, even when he was airballing them threes at 18. Let's use Kyrie as a reference.

Kyrie in Cleveland. Number one option. That's my shit. Then somebody else come over here. Now it's their shit. And then I'm like, yo, I don't want to be here no more. I want my own shit. I'm not number two, bro.

But he wasn't left. And he left. He wasn't left. And he left. He wasn't left. Who was the number one? Who was the number one in the fourth quarter? I was about to say, Kyrie Irving was the number one option in the fourth quarter. He left to go be number one. Look, we're talking about old shit.

Eddie doesn't play for the Lakers anymore. Luka Doncic does. Let's talk about this real quick. So Luka's been out since Christmas while recovering from a calf strain. With reports he will begin playing five-on-five starting today with the potential of making his debut with the new squad this weekend when the Lakers take on the Pacers at home Saturday. In related news, ESPN has flexed and added that game

in favor of airing Suns-Jazz on Friday. So ESPN will be airing that Lakers-Pacers game this Saturday. Lakers-Pacers? Yeah, that should give you some indication. That should be an easy one. That Luka may be making his Lakers debut in that game. So Clippers head coach Ty Lue was asked, what's his response to the people saying that Luka and LeBron,

also known as the Luka-Bronchik, can't play together because they're both ball dominant and had this to say. Isn't that right? It'll work, you know, when you have LeBron James, who's been the best player in the league for the last 15 years, and you have Luka, who's a top three, top five player in the league. They'll figure out how to make it work.

LeBron can play with anybody. The way he plays, he's smart enough to understand how to play with certain guys, how to play off of guys, and where to pick and choose his spots. And so, you know, I don't see it going to be a problem at all. And, you know, of course, I know J.J. did a good job of stacking those guys. So they each have their own unit. Kind of like we did with Kyrie and Bron in the fourth quarters.

They had close games together. But they'll figure it out. It's a tough problem. It's not a tough problem to have, I'll tell you that. You know, so they'll make it work. Steve. Not a bad problem to have. LeBron has said the past few seasons he wanted to give the keys to AD

despite AD's reluctance to take them. These are comments he's made. Reluctant. That seemed to shift this season with AD being more comfortable as the number one option. No issue with Luka taking the keys, obviously. He's been the number one option to step issue with Luka taking the keys. Obviously, he's been the number one option to step foot in the league as a teenager.

But how can the Lakers maximize both Luka and LeBron's talents moving forward? How can the Lakers? So very, I mean, for a guy that's 25 years old that's accomplished a lot, this is like a big move for him right now in his career. I think learning the game more, being able to learn how to be a professional, take care of his weight.

Um, I mean, it's a lot of benefit from this. You get a young superstar at 25 that has so much left over. And that's gonna be very dominant. Boy, he pick up that part. If you pick up that regimen, oh, my. I'm just saying, if he does. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he got a reason to now.

Yeah, you ain't got to spend a million. Spend 500. Spend 500 a year on your body, young fella. Mm-hmm. Man, as basketball players, if they got the same goal, if they have the same goal, Luka's showing that, you know, he's gonna win a championship first. LeBron, I want my fifth championship.

It's motivation. Then it's gonna work. I mean, I just don't like when people assume something's not gonna work because how they play with that team, right? You don't know how they're going to play when they get together, right? They got to see what each other brings to the table. And it's like having a whole bunch of weapons. You got the rocket launcher?

Okay, I'm going to leave mine here. I'm going to have the pistol and the sniper. It's a team, right? You take off what you need and you add on what the other person don't have. And that's what team, right? You take off what you need, and you add on what the other person don't have, and that's what happens, right? And that's, you know, same thing with the Olympics, right? 2008, right? How many people was ball-dominant on their team?

Put it together, y'all gonna figure that shit out. Wingo, that's the game of basketball. Can't ask for a better team. Kyrie was ball-dominant. Luka was ball-dominant. They went's the game of basketball. Can't ask for better Kyrie was ball dominant. Luca was ball dominant. It went to the championship Yeah Like I just the fact that they they don't think people are smart enough to adjust their game is weird And he's around the watch look watch the bond and we lost you watch the bond and Kyrie We watch one of them go have an advantage a major advantage every night. He can't double.

Can't double him. He can run the pitch. We've seen him double LeBron in the post. You can't do that. Luka's on the court. We see how they try to double Luka. God, LeBron's on the court. Because he's going to make the right play. They're both going to make the right play.

They woke up a demon. And he around the right dudes. He around Mike. He around LeBron. I mean, every step is greatness that he's dudes. You're around Mike. You're around LeBron. I mean, every step is greatness that he's around. He's preparing them. Yeah, but like I said, it's on. It's preparing them for greatness.

We're going to see, but it's going to take some time, I think. 2026. 2026. No, they're going to figure this out this season. I'm going to get the trophy now. Right now? They're going to play well together. I'll send you the memo. All right. Yeah play well together. I'll send you the memo.

All right. All right. All right. I'll send you the memo. You feel me? Yeah. The good thing is, like, LeBron is more efficient in his approach now.

Shooting 50% from the field, it's third and third. So that helps. You don't have to be a volume shooter to get it done. You only gotta take a lot of shots now It's a team in the penalty Lafayette goddamn free throws both of them Takes a lot of load off. It takes a lot of load off LeBron. Nice It definitely should not be doing this. It definitely diminishes his workload.

It helps. It definitely helps. For a 40-year-old not to have to carry that every night? Because we've been saying it. It's just... You know what?

It's... It's how Anthony Davis played that kind of made it hard for the team itself. because he's a jump shooter You don't he don't demand getting fouled. It makes it makes it harder for You know LeBron and other players to to get to the free throw line because now they got to take the hit Right, you know, it's easy if somebody knows how to generate fouls So now these little tiki-tacs I can I can walk full court give me a little free throws

But the fact that I you know generate fouls. So now these little ticky-tacks, I can walk full court and get me a little free throws. But the fact that, you know, you got the 40-year-old who's sitting there getting five fouls a period, ah, that's supposed to be your job, young... You know what I mean? You're supposed to get

these five fouls a period so I can, you know, eat these free throws up. And that's all it is. You know, it's just Anthony Davis is not a guy who gets free throws and helps out. I mean, it's a skill

I just don't think he's that guy. That's that I just don't think he was that guy to be with Ron That's like that's that next level like Brian. Hi like Kyrie like like Brunson makes it easy for Yeah, they gonna put him in the post they Luka no no brah, yeah, these things just don't matter, huh, huh? Did it matter last year? It was a championship talking to a defensive guy here I think it first I think defense first right now with the Lakers. I think it first They don't thinking it right now with the Lakers I'm thinking what I'm thinking about how they gonna affect this side of the ball

So what's out of the ball the ones you gotta stop? I just asked about defense. Mm-hmm I mean, I just said defense first. Our defenses are offense. You just said defense first. I'm not thinking about it now. Defensively, yes, they have trouble right now. But I think, I mean, shit, they got Dallas to the final. I thought we was talking basketball. And they hit them. I thought we was talking basketball.

We are. We are talking basketball. So how are we not talking about defense? What do we want to talk about? We still have to play it, yes. Luka don't play defense. And he got to play it yes luca don't play defense they still got to he got to the finals the car who else don't play defense the car replays don't play defense made to the finals i'm just trying to figure out saying lebron don't play defense okay lebron and luca okay kairi and luca you got Anthony Davis, bro. We gave up. You guys are like celebrating giving up an all-defensive guy.

The situation they was in last year with the Dallas Mavericks, they made it to the finals. Derrick Jones Jr. was the only one that was really known as a defender. Okay. And they made it to the finals. So we got rid of a two-way player, right? And I'm pretty sure we didn't win multiple championships with that same two-way player, right? Um

Can you do this There's a guy that does that it didn't he's a one-sided player that's a he was burping Yes a two-way player right the guy who plays both sides of the court, a one-way player who can't move, who can't play no defense, was making him do what? Burping. Burping him. Right? So we could pretend the defense is really like that,

but we watch Jokic destroy. Said defense. That same defense. And it's not like. I'm with you. It's not like Anthony Davis was out there scoring 50. It was like a week ago, Anthony Davis was. And now he's like, he don't play defense. And it's not like Anthony Davis was out there scoring 50. It was like a week ago, Anthony Davis was, and now he's like, he don't play defense.

Who don't play defense? He does. He can't guard that guy. Is it not important for the Lakers, though? Is he available? He can't guard that guy. He can't guard that guy. Y'all talking like defense don't matter.

No, it does when it counts. It does when it counts. But it don't matter when you got two guys that's really good. I was trying to figure out what my fourth quarter points was my second year in the league when I was like the fourth option. Antoine was 5.3. Points per game. You were 4.9.

And I was 4.9. Watch out. Now you're 22 points per game. You were second on the team scoring 18.3 points per game. Y'all didn't get this, bitch. Get it off the glass. Lakers ain't done, though. Get it off the glass.

The Lakers ain't done. I mean, the Lakers, I mean, they're going to get defenders. And to say that again, that was the number one option. He was a max player. Number one option in 2002-03. You were both with the Warriors. Both played 82 games that season. Anton Jamison averaged 5.3 points per game.

He was 19th in the NBA fourth quarter scoring. You averaged 4.9 points per game in the fourth quarter. You were 30th in the NBA. And I was the fourth player on the team starting off that season, and I'm averaging that. One year went by. Who was option two? The next season?

What? He went to Dallas, became a sixth man, that's all I seen. Oh, you coming off the bench now? That's my team boss, man. As long as you got that memo. So quick before we move on, K'an, you can cover your ears if you'd like. But we ain't kids no more.

So with the Lakers up big in the fourth quarter, it was brownie time. And the rookie had the road crowd buzzing after knocking down his first career three-pointer. Let's take a look. You said road crowd? The road crowd. I can't say the name of the arena anymore.

Don't go on there, big fella. The Clippers Arena. Oh. His first made three. Bronny James on the board after he missed his first three-pointers in the NBA. Brian Anderson, the James Whisperoh. Look at those teammates. Sharing a moment together.

They got two defenders right there, Black and Mauer. Mm-hmm. Vando. So, Bronny leading the league in field goal percentage and three-point percentage during Black History Month. Just pointing that out. Minimum two attempts. Gil, good to see Bronny getting more comfortable out there on the court, in all sincerity. To be honest, man, like, some of us been there.

But just seeing that ball go through the hoop, man, that just takes it, that just takes that monkey off your back. You know, because if we look at his, if we look at his shots, it's not like he was taking difficult shots. He's been taking wide open shots, just the pressure of making it. So the fact that it's winning, he's seen it go in, he should start making, you know, 30, 30-something percent moving forward. Even that shot.

You know, man, that ball like a center block. Because he missed it two free throws before that. That ball is like a fucking boulder him trying to shoot that bitch up there. So much pressure on every shot for that kid, man. So, it went in. Proud. What's next? Hold on.

What's next? Hold on. Nope. No. Nope. Damn. Ooh, they're fucking up in the back. Yeah, ice cream machine.

Delivered. You know what? It's McDonald's after 10 p.m. Oh, damn it. I got a couple things that I think will help him understand how to be ready. After the six-minute mark,

day of 15 to 20, start stretching. Right? Get your heat pack, start stretching so when you get out there, you're not wasting no time trying to get warm.

Right? Like, I'm watching him and I'm watching him try to, um... Like, he's just sitting there regular like a motherfucker. Yeah, because he don't ever think he's going in.

Yeah, like, no, I see the score. Yeah, but you... Hell yeah. And I'm sitting there like, I'm sitting there like, yo, stretch, dog. Because you're going in within the next

two minutes. Stretch, so when you get out there, you're gone. But you're just sitting there just waiting, and then when they put you in those first minute and a half, you ain't... He was supposed to have at least eight minutes to play. They played him, boy. They up 25, and Bron still in the game, trying to fuck up my pick'em,

and I don't understand what the fuck be going on when I watch the game. I'm like, why? They cleared their bench. Why y'all still in the game? Trying to fuck up my pick'em, and I don't understand what the fuck be going on when I watch the game. I'm like, why? They cleared their bench. Why y'all still in the game? Trying to fuck up the pick'em. Like, I got my shit set. It's like, look, I put you in, bro, for a reason.

Get my shit and get the fuck out. Did you post it? No. Because motherfuckers be looking, man. That's why I just take the higher end, right? Because I start taking the lower end of the motherf whatever have added. Oh you think I'm soft Rajesh, he should have played at least eight seven minutes to get warmed up Because it's the game out of hand at this point and Bronny and dogs to connect and I share the floor together anymore

No, dogs can already think as soon as they get out. It's me Switching them out man Not look at me that was my passing to you at all, let's keep this thing moving. We got one more thing to discuss Or not the big names that's been traded. Luka. Okay. What's the second name? AD?

Chris. He's going to be the main guy there. He's going to get paid, right? He's going to get another big contract. Fox, right? I mean, what I'm saying is, it's just Wimby, so he really gets to just do him a little bit right now. He gonna get a big contract.

Zach Levine's going over there. What? We fly high. No lie. Ball in. Ball in. Some of these moves, man, you're looking at them like, well, some of these are some money moves.

Putting people in position to get paid big money. Yeah, but some of them are janky. Taking bread away. Like, Luka not getting that Supermax now. He'll get the bread back. Yeah, he gonna get that back. That $116 million. Because Luka gonna be doing that Supermax now. He'll get the bread back, but he ain't gonna get that. That $116 million. Because Luka gonna be doing this.

It hurt him. Helped AD. But Luka gonna be doing this. But Luka gonna be doing this. Somebody gonna get it. Right. When it comes to money, if we think about the money part,

Luka gets hurt. AD enhances. So I say I'm looking at the Lakers like, this is what you're giving up a lot. But AD, I think, AD already under contract through 27. He ready. He's that dog. He's coming in. That's what we need, though. But you didn't go draft that.

That landed in your lap after a dump off. Thank you. After a dump off. That wasn't a dump off. Bro, that was a dump off. Thank you. After a dump off. That wasn't a dump off. Bro, that was a dump off. Thank you. I'm too drunk. Drop her off. She's too drunk. We can't deal with that.

We don't want that. No. With Uber, go home. We don't want nothing to do with this. She's still bad when she wakes up. I'm about to say it. No, no, no. For sure.

She's still bad. Look, it hurt my feelings to put her in the Uber. She wake up in her own bed. She's still bad as a mother. I'm my feelings to put her in the hoop. She's still bad as a mother. I'm like, man, I don't want, I can't. You looking at you like, yo, I can't believe I'm about to let this go. Ain't no way. I cannot. I can't.

I gotta deal with that. I can't do it. Texas, y'all need to relax. I don't know why y'all mad. I'm just saying. Oh, they... AD and Kyrie, Fox and the Alien, and then you got Houston down there.

Y'all might be on fire. But them three separate cities. I know, but I'm just... Texas itself don't matter. Y'all gonna be on fire. Hey, Texas is on fire. All of Texas... It's crackin'.

Take it from somebody that's from there. They are on Sky. It's all of Texas. No, it ain't. It's cracking. Take it from somebody that's from there. They are far apart. They're basically other states. Trust me. Like, you got one team as a team. San Antonio is San Antonio. Let me tell you, you got one as a team. Houston is Houston.

You got... And Dallas... But I'm just saying, Texas as a whole... Yeah, it's a competition. Go ask the San Antonio Spurs fan what they wish about the Dallas Mavericks. Oh, yeah, yeah. Hope y'all lose every fucking game. Hope y'all go 0-82, goddammit.

I'm just talking about just having a stand. But if all three good, it's poppin'. It's crackin'. It's poppin', poppin'. But it's crackin'. None of them has a stand. Yeah, I hear you. Y'all got some young shit over there in motherfucking San Antonio that could be...

I got the Alien over there. You got Houston, that group of... Dogs. And then you got the Vets over down here. That's a triangle, man. I'm going over here in retrospect Yeah, you know, I work on ahead of trying to go scally. Let's talk about one Like think about let's stand on everybody stays put this summer, right Starting next season. It's gonna be popular. All three could be top five.

Absolutely. That playoff series is going to be off the chain. Absolutely. About to create some rivalry. And OKC right across. So let's talk about one other piece of news. I know you don't like report at least, but this one was big enough that we have to discuss.

So some rumblings amongst NBA circles that the Suns could be looking to make a move with Kevin Durant before the deadline. KD has one year remaining on his deal after this season. Reports are the Suns could be looking to make a move with Kevin Durant before the deadline. KD has one year remaining on his deal after this season. Reports are the Suns are entertaining trade offers for KD. So with the Warriors being a potential destination to reunite KD with Steph, while Jimmy Butler is trying to get to the Suns, Bradley Bill's no trade clause has been a major roadblock in getting a deal done. Now there's speculation that

KD and Butler can be involved in a multi-team blockbuster trade to make it happen. But with a capital T, Shams is reporting, as Golden State pursues Phoenix Kevin Durant, the two-time Warriors finals MVP has no desire in a reunion and does not want to go back. I mean, that's fine. If they want to pull the trigger, they're going to pull it. But why do you think Haiti doesn't want to go back to Golden State?

Should I ask him? That's a great question, Kenny. He's the only one who got to answer that. I mean, he didn't leave on a good note, did he? He talked about it. See? He didn't get punched. Damn near. Damn near.

Damn near. Damn near. Metaphorically. Damn near. Shit, damn near. He almost caught one. He almost caught one. He almost caught one. His shoulder started moving. His shoulder started warming up.

What you say, nigga? Yeah, it looked like it was going to be... What you say? That Clipper game. It looked like it was going to get two of them. We don't need you. What you mean? Actually... Look like for the being that Clipper game I think I think listen I just be honest man. I just think Kevin Durant needs to just go down to the Lakers right Make it easy. Make it easy. I mean why, like... Make it easy. Like, my point, my thing is this... You've been making it easy this whole time.

My thing is this... We got Rui Hachimor, Gabe Vincent, Christian Wood. Look at this dude. And, uh... I mean, we got one more... Package J. Hey, Segway J and Package J. One more person right here.

Package J ready over here, dog. He got three or four of them. Right here. Package J ready. Pack, man. Pack, man. Love all you gentlemen. Call of Duty.

Thank you for your... Thank you for your contributions, but this is Kevin Wayne Durant. We are talking about it. I'm just saying, at the end of the day, they're going to talk about you anyway, so you might as well just do this. Get the championships and just tell everybody, fuck you.

Fulfill the prophecy. Like, there's no, like, give us the Michael Jackson and Prince album. Just give it to them. That we never got. Like, yeah, just give it to us, man. Just make that collab, man. Like, just, you, come on. Just do it. Ah that we never got like yeah, give it to us man. Just make that collab man Let's just you come on. Just do it. Ah

Since you can't beat me. Yeah Join me. Hell. Yeah, the right you say come on. Yes We got we got Prince and Mike Just to fuck with everybody to say who's number one and number two, when the MVP come, we both hold it. Together. Michael Prince and Chrissy Jones. Yeah. U-N-I-T-Y.

We do need some more unity. And listen, if you're feeling friendly, just go ahead and have Steph come on down there. We need somebody to mentor us. He's trying to look like the Bo Lakers. The Olympics. The Olympics shit. Hey, might as well. Why not? Entertainment. I mean, y'all the best Lakers. Yeah. The Olympic shit. Yeah, baby. Hey, my swine. I mean, might as well. Y'all are the best.

Entertainment. I mean, y'all the best three in this area. They said there was viewership issues. That's what they were saying. I know I'm watching. I would be crazy. I mean, the viewership would just be one team. It's just a competition.

Only team you need. It's one shout out spectrum. It's not a viewership. It's a competition thing. Well, hey. If the viewers wanted bullshit, they'd turn it off. But if they want to see some competition, everybody's going to tune in. Shit.

Competing? Are y'all not on the same team no more? Well, it might be good tonight. But let's keep it moving. So trade deadline less than 24 hours away. Most shocking trade in recent memory already going down. Like I said, there's moves going on all around the league. Warriors have been looking to make a move, reportedly at 25 and 24,

currently 10th in the West. So Shams reported on Monday that the Dubs are calling on every single All-Star player. His specific names was Paul George, LeBron. KD was in that mix, even though KD just said no. Jimmy Butler also in that mix. They said that out loud too. That's nasty.

Just in case somebody- The lights coming on. We need to go out with something. They letting the fans. I need fans up right here. This is like an Amber Alert. Hey, hey, we hit everybody, y'all. That's crazy.

That's right. They did it to themselves. They didn't need me. That's what they need. They need to talk to me. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to talk to you. I'm not going to's crazy. That's crazy. They did it to themselves. They didn't need me.

That's what they need. They need to see. I thought you said we didn't like Jimmy Bucks. He's available. You ain't into the bullshit. They did it to themselves, though. Like I said, we're less than 24 hours away from this trade deadline being on. Was that James Jones over there still?

Who? Phoenix? About his time. It was about that time. That's a problem. That's a problem? That's about that time. That's a broad TV, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's about... Oh, no, no, no.

He's made multiple mistakes. It's some other people about time for them to go. Give us KD. We'll have GM by committee. You bring Nico, Nico James. There's going to be a bunch of GMs doing some other shit in life. It's going to be that last hour. It's going to be that last hour.

Motherfuckers just sitting there, people trying to figure out what's going to happen, and they're going to do some things that they ain't supposed to do. Mike, do you have a question? I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. I have a question. in life. It's going to be that last hour. It's going to be that last hour of motherfuckers just sitting there, people trying to figure out what's going to happen

and they're going to do some things that they ain't supposed to do. Mike Dunleavy. They're going to panic. Hey, I'm looking at Mike like, bro, you... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a reason Bob Myers did. There's a reason Bob Myers joined us.

A lot of people over here just being quiet. Yeah, a lot of quiet shit. It's a lot of quiet shit. You can move around, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If they can move Darvin Hillman. Yeah. So Jimmy Butler was one of those names, but another report from Brian Windhorse Monday

said that Jimmy Butler communicated to the Warriors that he won't sign an extension. Go ahead, man. I'm just saying, well, why does it matter? Like, I'm really confused on why does it matter if he's going to sign an extension or not? Where has Jimmy Butler proven to be loyal to? Like, let's be honest.

Like, where? Where has he proven to be loyal to at every stop? He's forced his fucking way out. Absolutely. So who gives a fuck if he's going to sign an extension or not? Well, if you're a team making a trade... You're losing an asset. I'm not losing an asset. I'm gaining money.

You're gaining money. I'm gaining money. Fuck, he's going to rock that. I'm going to just... These motherfuckers are stupid. I'm going to just be honest with you. I'm sorry. It takes a real different...

You don't sell a farm for Jimmy. No. That's what I'm saying. You don't sell a farm for Jimmy because he's not loyal. That's why they're not getting off of him. So therefore, he don't sit here today.

Nobody want to give him a garden. They don't want to give him a garden. I'm with you. Fuck the farm. We ain't even going to give you a piece of lettuce.

Fuck that. But think about it. That's what I'm saying. But let's go. He ain't getting no lettuce? He ain't getting no lettuce. I make a trade for him, right? I make a trade.

He say, I ain't going to sign. Okay, cool. You get here, right? Are you gonna opt in? Right. Or are you gonna leave that $57 million? So, the... And when you opt in,

you opt in. We deal you. Listen, I can make you an offer. Well, I don't have to. I don't have to. I don't have to make you an offer. But I know when you're done, I got $53 million where I can move. I can get to... done, I got $53 million where I can move. I can get to. I don't need $53 million in asset bet.

I got hard cash that I can sit here and owe for anybody. Because I'm not going to sell a farm for them. I'm going to give you some pigs, some stuff. So if you're the Warriors, you just do the deal. I do the deal. You do the deal right now. That's what I'm saying. You do it regardless.

You do the deal. I give up. Who cares? That's facts. That's facts. Just think about it do it regardless. You do the deal. I do not give up. Who cares? That's facts. That's facts. Let's think about it. So why would Bernie Lee not... Because they're so scared of, oh, I traded this asset.

I ain't getting that back. At the end of the day, he has to go to free agency, right? And I'm going to be sitting there just like this. What you going to do now? What you going to do now? Two for 20? Yeah. I got two for 25 over here.

Oxygen. Oxygen. Two for 30? Two for 35 over Yeah. I got two for 25 over here. Oxygen. Oxygen. Two for 30? Two for 35 over here. Oh! The fuck? Yes. Shit. You don't, like, you're not gonna...

They go to 40? All right, take it. Take it. All right. 40, 40. Got 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, 45, I got 42. 42 over here. I got 50 over here.

All right, we got total. You need to still play your value here. Absolutely. Anything past this 53, you got to play basketball, dog. You talking about the opt-in? No, when you opt-in, for me to get any more money. For you to get some more money, you got to go. For anybody.

Oh, you're saying for me,. You got a Oh you say for me That's what I'm saying disgruntled in the place you on that's what I have that I have the leverage because I either I'm either gonna Have so much money to give to all free agents or I get you at a discount Yeah, you don't have to lowball you cuz you don't you're not gonna actually what Jimmy did Jimmy didn't walk Voluntarily and walked over and put his nuts in the vice grip damn Get them out Slow like the way teams do players. Do you blame not being loyal? No, but it ain't being loyal It's not to me. I'm not knowing 100% what No, but it ain't being loyal. It's not knowing. What you mean? Not knowing. 100%.

What you mean, though, how they do players? What you mean? They're not loyal to you, so why would I be loyal to a team? But you gotta be loyal to yourself. But he ain't been nowhere that he was like, okay. My game speaks. He wasn't loyal. But what I'm saying is he wasn't loyal to himself first. You have to be able to look around

and see what's going on. Right? Okay. I didn't sign it. We not at odds. I know they trying some shit over here. I got to move different. I got to play this game real quick. So it can make sense for me.

Yes. Okay. I'm doing shit that's making it not make sense for me because I'm forcing them to do shit they don't want to do. I wanted to get out of Denver. Yep. I didn't change my behavior to get out of Denver. Mm-hmm. I'm going to show you. I Denver. Mm-hmm. Guess who my ass was? I'm going to show you.

I'm going to show you. Guess who my ass was? Stuck playing for that motherfucker that I didn't like. But they knew that because I was going to show up and do my job, right? Mm-hmm, yeah. Same thing with Jimmy. They didn't suspend me.

They could have easily suspended me, just like they did Jimmy, right? Right, right. No, they know how I am, right? Jimmy going to show up in hoop. It ain't in him to get taken advantage of out there. It's going to kick in like, fuck that nigga. You ain't finna keep busting my ass out here.

You're looking crazy. You're looking crazy because it's still me. For sure. Right? He was in that situation where you got to move different. But he didn't. Yeah, he didn't at all. So now he voluntarily walked over and put his nuts in that vice grip, dog.

Then they were going to clamp on him. Yeah. Clap, clap. Right? Yeah. Because, Constance, you've been dangling them motherfuckers over people, fucking them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah!

Ah! No. Don't you hate me? Like, no, no, right? No. No. Damon, I am a boy. I am a boy.

Oh! Right? I mean, right? In this situation, because, I mean, you can't blame your agent. You can't blame all of this. It's on you. You stepped over too far of that line. You had all the leverage.

Too much dip on his chip. You had all the leverage. And then what ended up happening is the worst thing you could do for yourself is get yourself suspended indefinitely. Because now it's about your actions. You got to talk to me. And guess what? I think I'm busy. I'm busy.

At the beginning, Tyler Hero here. What's that boy? I ain't got to talk to you no more. I don't got to answer your phone call. I got to know clock tea time. I don't got to do none of that. Because now you're on my time. And now I'm on bullshit.

That motherfucking is slow. Yeah, that's slow. You're no better. Yeah, that's locked up. It won't let him out. That motherfucker econ right now. So is he in a position where he can be sent home and, like, they could do him like Stephon Marbury?

No, that's what they're doing. Or John Wall or like these people? No, no, no, no. No, they're not buying him out. No. Oh, no. Yeah, they gave him money. They gave him money. He's gonna be there. Put it like this. So will he play basketball again? What I'm saying is, before he got suspended,

they owed him this year's money plus next year's, right? Okay, okay. Right, so let's say that's $70 million, right? I owe him $70 million. He got suspended indefinitely. This $20 million comes back to me. If you opt in to next year, I owe you $50. Cool! That's like paying you 30 yep there's like paying you 30 I don't need to get rid of you now motherfucker but I can give you cheaper for me I can give you just save me 20

I mean, can'm just saying, if you're a team, do you... I mean, shit, do you take him? I mean, can you trust him now? Because at this point... Because I don't even know if he's going... Because at this point... It's this now.

He's a detriment to what you're trying to do at this point. It's principle. And he lets you know I only play 75% of the fucking time during the season. 75% of the season I play. Damn. I let that be known. He's a good player, too. Yeah, that's my thing.

Like... It's off principle. Golden State won't trade for him because he won't sign the extension. Like, who cares? Yeah, I don't even know what Golden State doing. I don't give a fuck about him signing. Not at all.

Because he out there with some dogs, and they ain't gonna let him. You think Draymond gonna let Jimmy go through the fucking motions if he... And it's one year. If he's in Golden State, do you think Draymond Green gonna sit there and allow that motherfucker to be not play hard?
