Starting point is 00:02:44 Stay for the story. The Clippers and the Toronto Raptors trade centered on Kauai Leonard will not be complete until the NBA investigation whether the Clippers circumvented the salary cap is completed. The Clippers and the Raptors agreed to a trade on June 30th that would send the NBA, the all NBA forward to Toronto for Brandon Ingram. Grady Inc. A unprotected first-round draft pick in 2031, 23, and a 27 first-round pick swap and two second-round picks. The NBA's investigation to the Clippers is focused on whether they
Starting point is 00:03:22 circumvented the salary cap by funneling money to Kowai through a $28 million endorsement deal with a green banking company aspiration, which also had $300 million, 23-year endorsement deal with the team. Team owner, Steve Barmer, who invested $60 million in aspiration, has denied he had any knowledge of Kauai's deal. The Clippers on Thursday said they did not funnel money to Kauai Lerner through aspiration, and there were victims of fraud initiated by Aspirations, excuse me, co-founder, Joe Sandberg. Sandberg was convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Joe, the NBA loves the billionaires until they found out how they really do business. What do you make of this situation? Pablo Tori, he has a podcast, he was at ESPN, and he did a, an M-depth deep dive. He had documentation of saying, okay, this is what they were doing. He had a $28 million endorsement deal in which he didn't have to show up. He had other perks that he didn't have to do anything and he just received those perks. Now, it is noted. He went, him and his Uncle Dennis approached the Toronto Raptors about a very, very similar situation. They wanted part of the team and they wanted this and they wanted that. And the upper management
Starting point is 00:04:33 told him that's illegal. We can't do that. We're circumventing the salary cap and the league found this out, basically in a long story short, they're going to punish you severely. It was reported that they brought the same thing to the Lakers. And the Lakers and Jeannie Bust is like, we can't do that. And lo and behold, the one team didn't sign with Toronto,
Starting point is 00:04:52 he didn't sign with the Lakers, the one team that seemingly, that's what it looks like, allegedly, he signed with. But this is what's being reported. And they say they're not going to let this thing go through until
Starting point is 00:05:06 they do their deep, down. investigation. In order to sign the Clippers, Kauai reportedly sought assurances that they would extend far beyond the basketball floor. According to the athletic Kauai's advisor, Uncle Dennis, requested ownership staking companies, corporate sponsorship, and no-show
Starting point is 00:05:24 endorsement deals that allowed Kauai to collect millions in revenue without doing any actual work. Pablo Tori found that Kauai and his employers divide the foolproof system to secure Kauai and additional 28 million in funding, additionally Pablo Tori,
Starting point is 00:05:39 investigating found the aspiration offered Kauai an additional $20 million on top of the $28 million nest egg, meaning he was due to collect $48 million. The mechanism for Kauai said resources
Starting point is 00:05:53 with KL2 and Spy LLC, a company owned by Kauai and Uncle Dennis, if I'm not mistaken. The Kauai partner with Steve Barmer led aspiration, a tree planning company that went bust in March of 2025. Joe, what do you make into this?
Starting point is 00:06:10 Okay, old Joe, my honest opinion, hell, it probably did happen. I'm saying, listen, because, you know, y'all know how billionaires move, bro. Yeah. Damn fair. We're always going, it's always going to be a little uneven. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:06:26 But I think to get quiet a commit, hell man, this probably was an under-the-table deal, bro. Hey, hey, we're going to take care of you. We're going to make sure you make plenty of money off the court. Hey, they just mess around. they got caught. Now, the NBA could do a deep dive and I know they rescinded to Chris Paul deal back when he was with the hornet
Starting point is 00:06:44 they didn't let that deal go through. You remember what they did to Joe Smith? Yeah. When he had that deal, he signed that deal. Minnesota. Yeah. And it put Minnesota in hell for the foreseeable future. It took, they draft picks for the next three years. They said, no, you cannot resign Joe Johnson.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Excuse me, Joe Johnson. Joe Smith. And so he had a big time deal on the table. That it was, hey, we're going to go ahead and sign this. thing soon as the season over, whoo, who, who. And somebody got mad, and they went to the league office and told the league office, and David Stern did not play, that foolishness. And he hammered him.
Starting point is 00:07:19 So those are just the ones that got caught here. Imagine the ones that didn't get caught. Right. Iso check your mic. What happened? It sounds like it's coming from your computer. Oh, what about now? What about now?
Starting point is 00:07:36 Say something? What's up? What's up? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, okay, go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, so it don't surprise me, man. Hey, hey, these billionaires
Starting point is 00:07:47 gonna move a little different, and I'm sure this was, you know, we'll probably never know the full story or the truth, but this was probably under the table deal, bro, just keep it 100. Ashley, can you change your mic setting? I just did. Oh, Joe, it seems to be,
Starting point is 00:08:05 he goes to one place, wants all this stuff, ownership stake in corporations. He wants these deals where you're going to give me X amount of dollars, but I'm not going to have to do anything for it. But even if that's the case, you still can't do that. Everything has to be basketball related.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Now, he says that with the rafters. Now he goes to the Lakers. They said no, Jeannie Bus is reported that Jeannie Buzz said, we can't do that. Two teams say no. It's seemingly, now he signs with a team. Now, what's the likelihood that all three teams said no? It seems to me two teams said no.
Starting point is 00:08:36 One team found a way to do it. Hey, we'll do it like this here. we put it in an LLC, a boom, boom, boom, you'll be a partner. And if I'm not mistaken, Pablo was reporting that they created these companies,
Starting point is 00:08:49 these LLC's Kauai and his Uncle Dennis, like shortly before the deal was commiserated. Yeah. Consumating. Yeah. Excuse me. Well, obviously, Uncle Joe, for us, we actually actually probably have a little history
Starting point is 00:09:03 and understanding on how billionaires were. They become billionaires for a reason. They don't do everything by the book. They never actually played by the book, which is why they're able to attain the kind of wealth that they do get. When it comes to cut in corners, they know exactly what corners are cut to be able to get what they want done. This just happened to be a situation where a billionaire has gotten caught, they've gotten caught up in what they want to do in getting the player they actually wanted.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Most of the time, when it comes to them, when they do business, they throw money at it. They throw money at it to fix any issue and to get what they want. It just happened to be one of many that it happened to have been caught up in it. Obviously, it did go through. I'm not sure if the trade is going to go through once they do a deep dive, but how much of the dive do you need to make? You don't need scuba here. I mean, you have great strong to see what was going on here.
Starting point is 00:09:54 You know, so I'm not sure what the dive is for. It's not really necessary. There's really nothing to get in depth about. It's more so common sense and logic. We look at the situation. David Stern is not the commissioner right now. So maybe Adam Silver may be a little bit more lenient. but we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah, I just think the thing is that when you're dealing with a situation like this, and they've, they have these big-time lawyers, the lawyers are making $2,500, $3,000 an hour. They went to all these prestigious schools. They're a big part of these big law firms, and they know how to maneuver. And we see this a lot of times when they want to move money, they create these corporations so it don't tie back to them,
Starting point is 00:10:30 and they get to move money over here, over there, and you never know where it came from, or how they came to be, but you just know. They just know how to do things like that. That's the way if something happened, I have, because at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:10:45 Joe, and Joe, I need plausible deniability. And you see what he said? I gave him $60 million, but I had no knowledge of where the money was going. See,
Starting point is 00:10:53 he has plausible deniability. So that's what I need. That's what you have to create. You have to create. That happened. I absolutely gave Ocho and Joe $10 million apiece, but I didn't know what they was doing
Starting point is 00:11:06 with that money now. I'm, I was scammed just to much as you guys were. Ocho, check your mic. God, dang, everybody having a mic problem today, huh? Hold on, can you hear me?
Starting point is 00:11:25 Hey, my mic, you good? I'm good now? Your mic on Zoom? It ain't now. Hold on. You good now, Ocho. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. You know, I got this thing,
Starting point is 00:11:35 I got this thing Nip tuck over here now. Yeah, but I, you know, they're gonna do it, they're gonna... Hey, Joe, can you hear me? Joe, mute. Nah, no. Now, Joe, you muted, Joe. Hey, guys, I probably find somebody
Starting point is 00:11:48 find somebody worse that electronics to me and technology. Y'all still game? Oh, there you go. Yeah, we got you now. How's it? So, it's a very unfortunate
Starting point is 00:12:09 situation because, you know, you want to make it much. And plus the thing is, you have to get extra money because why, guys, I'm in California. 13 and a half percent state tax. So I need, I need some way the money that I'm losing. I need the way to get some of that back.
Starting point is 00:12:25 And what's the best way to get it back? okay, you give me extra. So if I'm just making $130, now you give me an opportunity to make $170. Okay, you know what? All right. Okay. But a little 24 meal in my pocket, I can do a little something with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:44 But look, to get said play, I mean, we see this all the time. When you want somebody, when they're coming out of college and it's Google or it's Apple of it, whatever the case may be, alphabet. I don't. If you want to really get one of these top-knit students, Ocho, you got to make, you got to make assurances. Okay, I'm going to pay for your apartment the first year of the first year. I'm going to pay to relocate you. I'm going to give you an additional.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I'm going to start you off at this, but I'm also going to give you a bonus because you're in competition. Yes. Once you're valuable and they know other corporations want your services, now you become a valuable commodity. See, that's how value is created. Boom. And so Kauai, they knew he was valuable.
Starting point is 00:13:35 How do I make sure he doesn't go back to Toronto and he doesn't sign with the team that's at the penthouse in the building that we play in? They said, no, there's no way he's going to the clippers. No. So it's going to be, it's going to be, it doesn't look good, but sometimes things to the naked eyes, you know, sometimes the eyes can fool us.
Starting point is 00:13:57 It's not a good. They're going to do their homework, and who knows? Maybe they find something, Ocho, Joe. Maybe they don't. Yeah. We're going to find out here in what. The next, I say, seven to 14 days. They're going to find something.
Starting point is 00:14:13 You know, they're going to find something? Why? So you better, see, what happened is he beat out and playing big game, Ocho. And he doesn't mess the settings. So, so I got one, hold on, one more time, one more time. So y'all really can't, y'all can't hear me, I hear echo or what? Yeah, I guess in production,
Starting point is 00:14:39 they hear it like you're talking through instead of your microphone, you talking through the computer. Yeah, I can hear you. I'm saying, but I sound funny or something, Ocho? You look funny, you don't sound funny. You want to have them log out and then log back on? Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:03 He don't know how to fix it. Hell, if he can fix it from Saturday, he can fix it right now. Yeah, yeah, dude, they normally talk me through it, but we ain't been having no problem. We've been Gucci. Hey, I like that joke. They normally, what?
Starting point is 00:15:15 They normally talk me through it, but what's you there? Okay, okay, okay. Okay, okay. You hear what you're saying? Normally talk me through it. That's how they do. They're talking right on through it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Hey, you know what I'm going to get out. If it don't come out of the wash, it'll come out of rent. Hey, hey, y'all too damn grown to be managing like this, man. You know, boy, y'all's so many. You hear me. I'm just saying. Hey, that's the wrong, wrong choice of words to you.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Talk you through it. Yeah, that's what I know. That's what we do. That's what we normally do. I mean, but somebody else talking you through it. I ain't never heard that. What time is that say? A person that runs with a lie
Starting point is 00:15:58 eventually will stumble over the truth because everything comes to light. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah, you got to pause the whole damn conversation. I can't even have a conversation with the nightcap crew about my microphone without I'm talking about some man and stuff. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Hey, I'm just saying it's your choice of wording. Hey, Joe, that's all. Yeah. Hey, Joe, you're just telling me. It's all good, Joe. Now, I don't make you no bad brother. Make you no bad brother, Joe. Hey.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Hey. I mean, don't, Joe, I don't look at you any different. Hey, boy, y'all got a cheer. Y'all got a cheer for real. Y'all got to slow down. For real. I mean, you, you, you are who are. are. At the end of the day, we are what
Starting point is 00:16:41 we are. Now, whether you tell us who you are, but that's who you are, even in your most private moments, when Joe John, when Joseph Johnson is home alone by himself. Yes, if there's no one else around, that's who he is.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Yeah, you got to look at that mirror. You ain't got to tell Ocho and I. Me and Ocho and I can survive all we want to. And you got in the face the music, John. You know, yeah, y'all make ourselves look guilty, man, when y'all when y'all act like. Like, Joe. Look, look.
Starting point is 00:17:10 See what I'm saying? You can open it, he'll fly away, or you can crush him. But the bird is in your hand. Hmm. And again, don't make you no bad, brother. It don't. I like, that was real profile.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Yeah, yeah. I like that. I mean, Joe think we're going to be, but see, I think the thing is Ocho. He think we're going to look at him differently. We won't. Yeah, we're not going to judge you. Hey, we're not going to judge you.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I'm not going to judge you. What? What you mean? Judge me out of what? I mean, I mean, you being authentic to yourself. Being talked through it, huh? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, ain't no, ain't, listen.
Starting point is 00:17:51 What's your faith, Chuck? What's your pay, Chad? Yeah, they think that you won and Ocho two? Or yeah, y'all won. I'm going to tell you what they really think. I'm going to tell you what they really think. Chad really think, aren't won, and Ocho, you, Ocho, fight you because you see what he pulled out of the other night.
Starting point is 00:18:07 I mean, damn. That alone should make him number one. Hold on. Wait, what do you mean? That ain't my stuff? Who stuff was that? I would just bring stuff on to show you
Starting point is 00:18:19 and what you could do in your relationship. I don't use it. And plus, Joe, you might be ranked number third, but we know you're going to win the battle. We already know. Number one seed don't always win.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Hey, y'all want me to be number one so bad. It ain't going to happen, fellas. I'm sorry. Duh. But here's the question, though. Joe and Ocho, if they do find that the clippers circumvented the cap in order to acquire Kauai services, what is the punishment? What should the punishment be?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Ooh. Because he got there in 2019. So the 19, 20, 21, 22, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. So they basically had basically almost seven, eight years of his service. Yeah. They're going to try to, obviously, you know, they're going to try and put a big fine on them, but they're going to probably take away draft picks. They're going to try to make it tough so they'll have to suffer over the next 45 years.
Starting point is 00:19:22 For sure. It'll ruin them. Yeah. Yeah. Now, look, he's the wealthiest, he's the wealthiest sports owner in the world. The man's worth $150-something billion. So that ain't going to do it. You know, you find him a million, $5 million, $10 million, $20 million.
Starting point is 00:19:40 that doesn't do anything to his pockets. And he write it off. The only thing, the only way you can get their attention is to take draft compensation. Yep, yep. That's it. Take that draft compensation. First round pick.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Hell, I don't know if they got any first round picks anyway after what they traded. Yeah, they probably don't. I don't know. I ain't sure. But they're going to have to make do with what they got because they're going to damn sure try and punish them. I don't think you have a choice
Starting point is 00:20:15 because what you try to do, punishment should be swift and harsh. But punishment is not about the individual or the organization that committed the act. It's also about sending a message to deter others from committing said acts. Yeah, right. Because you already know what happened.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Once you find out that calling card, guess what? Now you got about 15 people got calling cards. And the funny thing about it is there's always some funny business going on, especially when it comes to Venice with people that have that kind of wealth. Yes. They don't do, they don't say always, not always, Ocho. I hate saying always and never, but the thing is, and Ocho is talking about this,
Starting point is 00:21:03 man, to get that kind of wealth, you got to step on a lot, you got to step on or step over a lot of people. Yeah. Yeah, I ain't saying you're stepping on them, Joe, but you got to step over them. Hey, it's a dirty business, man. It's a dirty business. And most of the time when you were amass, you know, that kind of wealth, I mean, you don't play by the book.
Starting point is 00:21:23 I mean, you never have anyway, you know, let alone. So any shortcuts you can take, any advantage you can do to help your business in any way, and it can tell you to, you know, grow your money exponentially, you're going to do it. You're going to do it. Every issue, the one thing that they do, if you had that kind of money, is you throw more money at it. That's how you fix everything.
Starting point is 00:21:42 And when you have money, what don't you like being told no? Because if you tell me no, Joe, I'm going to put a number out there that you got to say yes. You can't refuse. So that's what I'll do. You say no, but I'll put a number. I'll put enough zeros where you don't have a, you don't have no. You're like, damn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Because maybe you got a number in your mind that like, nah, I'm good. But he goes double what that. number you had in your mind. You're like, huh? Like Q, remember Q? Like, huh? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And so it's going to be very interesting. I'm going to see, I need them to go ahead and find this thing up. If they find something, hey, do your punishment, do whatever you're going to do to the clippers. If you don't find anything, let this thing go on and go through. Because you got other players in Limbo also. This is not just about Kauai. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:42 You got you got B.I. that's in limbo is reported that they're looking to probably possibly move on move B-I somewhere. I don't know. Yeah. Just been reading, you know, trying to see what's going on. You got to, like, oh, man, that dude last name. I don't know if I think I might have
Starting point is 00:22:57 to change my name. Hey, this is a man name, man. Yeah, Joe. Yeah, it's okay. He'd say, listen, that's the family name. Yeah. Listen. I'm going to have to go Hollywood. most of the people in Hollywood got different names.
Starting point is 00:23:15 That ain't their real name. I'm gonna get me. I'm gonna have to get me a new name, but I can't. What happened? And you see the guy, uh, he swapped Jersey with somebody. Did you see the guy he swapped jersey with? His last name was black. Black, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:33 And the other guy's last name was it. Yeah. They're holding the jerseys. Come on, man. Joe, I can't do that, Joe. I can't. Come on, Joe. Hey, and they know what they mean.
Starting point is 00:23:43 It's going to. Ocho, you know what he's talking about? Nah. It's a cat. It's a cat from Toronto. He was in the trade, too, going to the clippers up. Yeah, Grady. His name, Grady. You can't say the word? You can say it. That's his name. His name Grady Dick. Yes. Okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Yeah. So, uh, but he traded swap jerseys with a guy, I think, from Memphis. Yeah. No. It was black. For Orlando. The black. Yeah. His last name was black.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Right, right, right, right. holding up one name black and the other one name. Hey, they did that on purpose, man. It ain't clouded. Yeah, you got, hey, hey, man, hey. Because most people, hey, hey, what's up, Johnson? They call you by your last name, bro. Don't call by my last name.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Call me Grady. Call me Grady. First of all, I hadn't heard nobody named Grady. normally people named Grady you've got to be at least 50 at bare middle when the last time you heard somebody called Grady I know, hold on, hello
Starting point is 00:24:50 I mean the last Grady I know is Sanford and Son. No, my dad's brother, my uncle, his name Grady, his name was great. How old is he? I'm 58, I guarantee he older than that. Yeah, yeah, he's older than you all, but he passed away. If you, if you 50 are older, you got them,
Starting point is 00:25:05 you, you're okay, can be Grady. But there ain't no 20-year-old name, no Grady. Nah, nah, nah, no, no. We close, Ash. What's that? What's in three minutes? Ah, Shakur, coming on. Oh, let me, hold on.

Listen to everyone watches women's sports on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. The Declaration, which is full of these beautifully rendered
Starting point is 00:27:12 sentences and paragraphs about enlightenment ideals, does also have this darker history to it.

Well, if we don't understand the full context in which our nation was founded,

Starting point is 00:28:07 The World Cup is underway and it's been incredible. On our podcast, The Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green, we're talking about the games that have delighted us, the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving and what surprised us, all to the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game. Daniel, this tournament has been magical so far. The expanded field of teams has created some incredible matchups that have already made this World Cup one to remember. And now things get even more exciting with the intensity of the knockout rounds as the field is whittled down to one World Cup champion on July 19th. When you say it like that, I got a pain in my heart that the tournament is over. But there's a lot of soccer yet to go. And if the first few games of the round of 32 are any indication, anything is possible in the lead up to the final.
Starting point is 00:28:51 We've got it covered from an ultra's perspective here on the away end. So listen to the away end with Daniel Alricone and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Munga shit together and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science. I can make a brain for you, and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain, as opposed to his brain.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Here are some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five-year acceleration. And get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make it look more defined. They say it works.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, How to Live Forever, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Mitchell has agreed to a four-year, $273 million match contract
Starting point is 00:30:15 with the Cavaliers. The extension includes a player option for the 20-30-31 season and a full-trade kicker. Donovan could have waited until next summer for an additional season worth 80 million, which would have been a five-year,
Starting point is 00:30:29 353. Joe? Nah, he did right here. Anything you can do with 275 hell, you can do, man, no. Hey, congratulations. What can't you do? What's the only thing that you can do with 350, with 353 that you can't do with 273? I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, shout out to that boy, Donovan Mitchell, get your money, man. Well, listen, Donaldson. Donovan say, hell, I ain't taking no day of her cutting either. Hell, this team going to have to work. Yeah. Yeah. So hopefully, hey, Brum, brun, if you. you seen this, hey, if you're coming over here, man, look, look, we love to have you come back
Starting point is 00:31:06 home, but boy, look, I got to get my money, man. For sure. Yeah. But you see, that's what you call him, because whatchikov can sign a four for 279. Who? Yokic, but Yolkish said he's going to wait next year. Oh, yeah. If he takes the $5.3.509, play that out, $724 million in NBA earnings he would have made.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Yolkish got them folks in the headlock. You know what I mean? Hey, hey, his game built for the long haul. You know what I mean? All he got to do is stay healthy. That's it. Come on, man, that's it. Five, a 270 street.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Ron doesn't have had it all. Yeah. It may have been to league 23 years. He had it all. He just seen it all. He got the pitch. He got the pitch from Miami to go to Miami. He got the pitch from Cleveland to come back to Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:31:59 I mean, he didn't really, I mean, Magic didn't have to do anything to him. Magic just. Rich Paul and Magic went to Rich Paul and Braun and hey, like, what you got? That's it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:12 I just, I'm not, I'm not surprised by this. I'm not upset by this. I mean, it was the right thing to do. Once Luca vouched for AR, and rightfully so,
Starting point is 00:32:23 AR has gotten better and better and better before he got hurt. He was averaging 28 points. He averaged 23 points on the regular season. He's a phenomenal offensive player. They're just challenged, defensively.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Yeah, hey, look, I'm glad AR got paid, but, boy, listen, that damn 45, what do he make, what he gonna be making it on? Yeah, he got, what, four years, 180 something? That's good, that's good for him on. Four years, 180, so 45 a year.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yeah, it's great for him. I'm just saying, expectations come with that damn 45, oh, Cho. What's going to change? What's going to change, especially for someone who wasn't, like nothing. He wasn't even drafted, uh-uh. because they didn't have the expectations
Starting point is 00:33:03 when you didn't make nothing. Your expectation changed when you became one of the highest paid. Hey, hey. So now... They expect 100 yards of game. Yeah, yeah, every game. Hey, listen, and check this out.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And check this out. If I'm the opponent, now, okay, damn, I'm going to $45 million dude. Hell, if I shut his ass down, what they're saying about me. You feel what I mean? Joe, I like what you're thinking, Joe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:26 That's a, hey, people going to compete a little harder against you now, bro. That's what it is. You're going to be at top of the damn scour report. now. Yeah, AR, yeah, don't give him no space. Make him a driver.
Starting point is 00:33:36 One thing about it. Awesome Rees, we'll put your ass in the blender now. I know, I'm room for him. I know. That's your homeboy. He's from Arkansas.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Oh, yeah? I'm room for him now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Joe, tell he come on the show, man, holl at your boy, man. A. I bet I'm hit him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I'm hit him. Hey, I got to ask you a question, though, Joe. What's the question? You think that ain't could beat me one-on-one? Yeah, here, sir, you wouldn't even score here. Hey, hey, don't get it twisted. That white boy can play, man. So what you?
Starting point is 00:34:11 I know, I know what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking. You know, we have a tendency not to give them a lot of respect sometimes, but that white boy can play. I respect everybody, Joe. But I'm just asking, I just want to see what your answer would be as my co-host to see if you had any faith in me. But, okay, I got you, Joe.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Well, I got to keep it 100. I, you know, I don't know the way, Ocho. I'm going to keep it 100 with you. You know what I mean. Okay. I appreciate that. Yeah, no doubt. The Lakers are offering Jonathan Cominga
Starting point is 00:34:37 a starting role in their free agent pitch per Anthony Slater. Los Angeles projected starting line up if Cominga signs, Luca, A.R. Caminga, Sandro, Mama Keeleish, Beely, and Walker Kessler. Joe.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Hey, what? You don't like that all? Who's going to defend? Uh, Caminga. Huh? Camingo going to be a two-way guy. You know, it's thought. I said it's going to be a little different. Yeah, you say, damn, Joe, he ain't want to play side next to step.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Hey, listen, man, when you don't been through a few situations and you kind of know and understand the pecking order, hey, you better get your ass in line and figure out what it is you can do and figure out and figure out what it is you can do or bring to the team that can make us better. They don't have defenders. Okay, Ocho, they need a guy who can sit in that church. So what about Sandro?
Starting point is 00:35:28 What are he going to do? Man, I don't mean. You a shooter. Who the hell is it? I don't even know what it is. He got him off Toronto, and he didn't shoot, he didn't shoot as good as Rui. And what they paid him, they paid him more than what they were offering Rui. Hey, I ain't got no rhyme and reason for what the Lakers doing.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Lakers trying to build out there with a nice little roster, a little bit of, a little bit of everybody can contribute to some degree. Hell, they ain't trying to be caught up like Boston. They're glad A.R. Didn't he, he gave him a little haircut. He did. He could have got a five-year, like two something, two-thirty-nine. Yeah. So, hey, man.
Starting point is 00:36:03 maybe the lake is trending in the right direction we gotta get the Lakers a chance. I know they look like a four on the team over there but hey we gotta see what it's going to do. We definitely go see. We definitely going to see it. Like a frat like a frat house.
Starting point is 00:36:19 You know what a little color sprinkled in there. Roy Hatchamura agreed to a two year $28 million deal to sign with the clippers. The Nets, Spurs, Timberwolves, Warriors all made free agents offers DeRoy. He refused to leave Los Angeles per shams, Ruitt, was only open to resigning with the Lakers or going to the Clippers. Damn, Ruiz.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Hey, dude, say, damn, Ned, I love California. Hey. And I think, see, the Nets would have had to make me an offer I can't refuse because I know I'm not going to win. Right. So I got two years 28 million. Joe, they're going to have to give me two years, 50 million. Yeah, you don't think that was on, you don't think that was on the table for him, though? I'm just saying, they got, they got a blow.
Starting point is 00:37:04 they got a blow bill. You know what? As a matter of fact, Joe, I need three years. I need a player option for 35. And can I ask you a question, Uncle Joe? As well as Ruey played in the postseason, right?
Starting point is 00:37:15 As well as he shot. Yeah. Can you please explain to me why his numbers are so low compared to everybody else getting paid? Because he's a good. I think, I think it's because he's a great
Starting point is 00:37:29 complimentary piece, Ocho. He is not a guy or going to be your main one or two guy. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah, He could be a third or fourth score or utility guy who can be consistent. But I don't really think, you know, guy you really depend on heavy on. You know what I mean? So now probably with the clippers, I mean, obviously, what do you get?
Starting point is 00:37:50 Two years, 28? Two years, 28. Basically 14 million a year. Hey, man, ain't a whole lot of pressure on him, you know, go out there and play free, living in California, playing with a young team. I don't know if they're going to be no playoff team. The clippers? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:06 why they didn't make the playoffs with Kauai how they're going to make the playoffs without him? They got some added youth over there some guys who they know going to be available. T. Lou will have to coach his ass and T. Lu my guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:20 But T. Luke got his hands full with this team. Yeah, you're going to need see what it is. You need some hungry some hungry guys who've been disrespectful. Ocho coming into the season trying to prove something. That's what you need. That's why I think J.B. going to show out. I think he going to show out.
Starting point is 00:38:34 I don't know, Joe. What? The Warriors, man. Okay, Timor Wood, can you, man, Rui, uh, because he'd feel the role by Fonaut, Knaz Reed. E.
Starting point is 00:38:54 But, but, Joe, I told you the Spurs. I really loved him with the Spurs. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Playing alongside Wimby? He was going to get plenty of damn shots.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Yes. Look at the shots that, that Champany get. Look at the shots. that of a sale get. And you're right, because I think Ruud, he'll be a star in his role in San Antonio. But for whatever reason,
Starting point is 00:39:20 I don't know if the money wasn't right. He loved California. He better me. You were the left on? My last guy's got to be in San Antonio to that day. Okay, okay. Well, you went, well, and play in front of who? And play in front of who?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Whibby. You got Whibby. You're playing alongside with me. You're coming on the bench. You're not going to start. No, he probably was starting. In front of who? One of them guys got to come out the bench.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I don't think Dillon Harper coming off the bench again. You think he's coming off the bench? I don't. I don't either. Listen. And you're there. Heart-wrenching knockouts. The world's biggest stage.

I learned about some rad science. I can make a brain for you, and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain, as opposed to his brain. Here are some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five-year acceleration.
Starting point is 00:44:21 And get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, How to Live Forever on the Iheart Radio app,
Starting point is 00:44:34 Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It says Donald McChryntral contract is too much for that guy that isn't generational talent per Tim McMahon. One GM said in terms of the count of money, you've got to be a generational talent when you get $70 million range. There may be only a couple of players in the league that are worth that kind of money. Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Hey, is, you know what? Go ahead, Joe. That's y'all. We talk about time and it's everything. Okay, Ojo. It is. You know, hey, this is Donovan. His time is up.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And damn it, this is what the max contract is. This is the going rate. This is the going rate, bro. Hey. And he's a hell of a player. And to some degree, I can kind of, you know, see what the owner is saying. But, hey, man, it's his time, bro. It's his time.
Starting point is 00:45:34 It is. I mean, it used to be. I mean, there were the time that, you know, but they've always been situation where guys because I remember when John Conk had that big contract, the Hawke gave him that big contract, Joe. Yeah. And nobody's like, what?
Starting point is 00:45:50 Yeah. Shack was like, what? All the big was like, he got what? Yeah. And so everybody, Donald is a phenomenal player. I wouldn't look, look, when I hear generational, I'm thinking Magic Johnson. Kobe. I'm thinking Shaq. I'm thinking Jordan.
Starting point is 00:46:08 I'm thinking Kevin Iran. I'm thinking Steph Curry, Yokich, LeBron. That's what I, when I hear generational, now you got generational and then you got transcendent. Transcends the sport. Yeah. You know, generation is, what, 25 years?
Starting point is 00:46:34 Transcending. It's different, man. Guys that when they're done, you won't be able to tell the story. of the NBA without them. Without them? Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah. And it just, it's a testament to how far the game of basketball has come. Yeah. You know, think about it, man. When Shaq, what he signed for when he left Orlando coming to L.A., like a hundred or something? Yeah. Yep. And then you get KG up.
Starting point is 00:47:03 That's why they call him the big ticket because he had one of the biggest contracts ever. It probably like, what, 115 something meeting like that? Yeah, like 122? Yeah, and now, hell, man, that's, hell, you get that. Well, they're doubling that, Joe. Oh, Joe, you can get a $120 million contract right now. You ain't got to have no credentials behind it.

Yeah, he already ain't had a couple big ones. I already. I mean, get another big one. Yeah. Hey, hey, the one thing about it, man, look, real talk.
Starting point is 00:50:13 If you keep yourself in great shape and you want to the top guys, boy, you can come, hey, you can circle the block at least two, three times. I'm talking about healthy, you know what I mean? Yes. And, C. Joe, you say that. Don't they see that? If you keep yourself in shape, Ocho, you can make money for a long period of time. You can extend it.
Starting point is 00:50:36 You might can get even a couple of years. And as we used to say, hey, man, I'm going to steal me a couple of years, eh. They don't know for me. I'm going to steal me two or three. I'm telling you. Hey, that's how you got to look at it. But you also got to, man, you got to have wise people in your corner, Arnach and Ocho. And I say that because when I got drafted to Boston in O'1, the assistant coach that I had, Lester Connor.
Starting point is 00:50:56 He played in the NBA for like 12 or 13 years. Unc might know him. I know Ocho probably don't know. Yeah. But, bro, if it wasn't for him, Archa Ocho, giving me the game, showing me the ropes, you know, showing me how to eat, look, man, look, you're going to have an appetizer, which is your rookie deal. Then after your rookie deal, shit, that's when
Starting point is 00:51:13 you go up for your main course, you know, you hit them cross the head, Bing, Bing. You hear me? Because back then, Ocho, you know, they were doing five and seven-year deals. It wasn't really no four, it wasn't no four and five and three-year deals. Right. So you'll be locked, you'd be locked into your deal for quite some time.
Starting point is 00:51:30 So you had to get it. Yeah, so after that main course, he was like, then you come back for a little dessert. You know, hit them cross the head again. But you got to take care of yourself the whole entire time. I'm like, I'm locked in. I'm locked in. Hey, Mom ain't never got to work again.
Starting point is 00:51:44 We good. Yeah. Hey, Joe, now you get these guys, they're doing these three, four-year deals every three to four years. So guy coming out, he, he's 18, 19. By the time he's 26, he done two deals. Now, by the time he's 30, he's going to get ready to do a fourth deal. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:03 So it's like Joe said, they were tied guys up six, seven years. Now they got these guys He got a three year like Joel and B three year 188 Yeah Or you got four years 112 I mean 212 Or you got Donald Mitchell Five for three
Starting point is 00:52:19 For 323 That's 60 year That's filthy boy Hey hey It wouldn't be nothing that would be able to deter me From reaching some of those goals That I would want to reach personally I'll be working so damn hard
Starting point is 00:52:37 I'm telling you man Listen that's all I can think of I think about the next contract Like okay cool I ain't never got satisfied And when I did get paid That's how I was Joe Man that's how I was Joe Because look
Starting point is 00:52:48 I ain't thinking about this I already got this I'm thinking about the next one Hey hey I'm gonna sign on the dotted line This one coming Hello Hello
Starting point is 00:52:57 Now let me see three years Hey three years Hey I'm 20 I'm 20 24 25 can I get a three-year deal? Hey, you're doing the numbers. You know black folk don't play, boy. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Black folk won't do them numbers, boy. Yeah, yeah. And most of the time, it takes a certain type of player, Uncle Joe, to get that main course and still have that same hunger. Ignore the money. I ain't worried about how much I'm making, but I still want to be that same player to continue to prove myself. A lot of people get that big bag,
Starting point is 00:53:35 you've seen it, you've seen it, Joe, you've seen it, a player that get paid that good time, that good one time. Shut it off. And they fall out to play, they shut it down. Yeah, they feel like they... I love guys. They get that big money, but they play like they broke.
Starting point is 00:53:48 Yes, sir. Yes, uh. They play like they broke. Yes. I was like, bro. I mean, if you don't mind anything else about talking, Brady, all he had an accomplish, all the money he had done made,
Starting point is 00:54:04 you'd swear that dude, still trying to make that. damn team for the first time, Ocho. Because in his mind, he still was that sixth round draft pick that everybody overlooked. And every time he went out there, he tried to prove every team that passed over him. He tried to make him pay.
Starting point is 00:54:20 He did. He did. And their respect and passion. And that's how you got to do it. That's how you got to do it. You got to go out of it like you're not. I ain't got a dime. I ain't got a dime. Hmm Kevin the Rand reportedly
Starting point is 00:54:46 is interesting in playing with Cade Cunningham per Brett Seagall that Houston are expected to bid for his services if Houston
Starting point is 00:54:53 ever makes them available you gotta make them all for they can't refuse anything you could have anything you want other than Thompson and and
Starting point is 00:55:02 Hey hey I can see that happening because you got to think you remember Durant said whatever he said in the media but I mean
Starting point is 00:55:11 and then Burner County had about his teammates and they found out it was him. It could be some bad blood over there. Okay. You know what I mean? Now, I wouldn't mind seeing KD play with Kade. I think that would
Starting point is 00:55:25 be a piece that were ultimately put the pisses over the top because what they were lacking in the series was scoring, bro. It was too much on the Yeah. Consistent score because in that last game if Kade couldn't do it, nobody could do it. You know, Tobias had a
Starting point is 00:55:41 great first round, had a great second round. But those last three games with a, I had a great first ride with Orlando, and then he had a great first three, a couple of games with Cleveland. But after that, Hey, what's Katie number this year, huh? What's you mean?
Starting point is 00:56:00 What you mean? Like, how much he, how much he, how much he making? Huh? Yeah, how much he's making? Probably by what, Joe, by 42, 43? I'm trying to think we got enough. We got enough room for now. We ain't got no room.
Starting point is 00:56:13 No room for what? Nah, cause y'all got to pay what you call them? Y'all is about to get a next picture. No, we can't. Please. You think y'all was, you're trying to put together a dream team?
Starting point is 00:56:23 No, Ocho, they ain't going to work. Hey, hey, I'm, I got a call. I got a call.
Starting point is 00:56:29 I got a call. I got to call KD. See what KD want to do. No, no, . no, they ain't going to work. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:33 They ain't going to work. Yeah. Oh, we make it, uh, 54.7. God, yeah, got enough money.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Shit. That includes a two-year $90 million extension that includes a player option for 27, 28. Yeah. Hey, if KD came out east, Uncle Ocho, but I think the east would be a lot tougher
Starting point is 00:56:56 than the damn west because the West would just be top-headed with about 3 to 14. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, maybe they won't draft compensation, but I don't know other than, I mean, you can't have K.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I don't know if San Antonio, excuse me, San Antonio, does the Rockets, do they want during, to put him with Shingoon? Hold on. I'm trying to think if we can do a sign and trade. I'm trying to see what we can offer. I don't want to give up Thompson, and I'm not giving up Kay Cunningham.
Starting point is 00:57:37 So I'm trying to think what kind of package Detroit can put together to potentially pry KD away. That's a good one. I don't know. And that's something they're going to have to figure out here. right. But now the question is, now that they got smart
Starting point is 00:57:57 to pair him with Thompson, two defensive guys, are you, or am I willing to get rid of, I don't think, even with that, I don't think, I don't think,
Starting point is 00:58:04 I don't think, that's just me. No, but I think, I think, you know, why, because Katie,
Starting point is 00:58:12 he still got a lot of value, too, now, okay, Ocho. Yeah, for sure. A team. Because they still don't
Starting point is 00:58:18 got a point guard. They still, because you still don't have a point guard. I don't know, man, you know. What about put Brian in Houston? Damn. And we gotta stop, we gotta
Starting point is 00:58:34 we gotta stop throwing, stop throwing the gold around like that and trying to put him on every team now. It's a lot of intriguing spaces, O'Chio. No, we, we, we, nah, no, no, no, no, no. But we're not, we're not going to treat him like a dream. And he ain't no journey. No, he ain't, but wherever he go, he's going to be there for the neck. I told you where he going.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Hey, hey, hey, don't, don't, don't. Don't get mad at me, bro. I'm not getting mad at you. I'm mad at y'all hypotheticals. We keep up. Huh? Y'all, take your heart out of it. Take the emotion out of it.
Starting point is 00:59:07 If you take your heart and emotion out of it, you understand where you're going. That's what we're trying to tell you to do, but you ain't listening. All right, all right, Joe. Y'all don't want to listen to me. You know, I got elite ball knowledge, man. Okay, I'm going to take your word for it, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Appreciate that, man. I'm just trying to see a scenario, Joe, where he can go. And, you know, hey, Ocho, that'd be a great place. for us to go watch a game. Where? Miami? Houston. And so, Badger.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Hey, Joe, we lead the game and go straight to the spot. Look at it. Now he want to do it. Now look at it, boy. Now look at it, Joe. Hey, I like it. Hey, listen, I like it.
Starting point is 00:59:58 I like the aesthetics of it. Yeah. Huh? You know, just thinking about it. It's cool. But no, we ain't winning nothing. We ain't winning nothing there. Yeah, he's coming to Miami.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Oh, man. Hey, that was a good one. That was a good one. That got me hype. They got me hype real quick. So Kevin Durant, let's see what, hey, let's see what happened. I mean, Monday is now when all the deals can take place. I mean, can be, can be, you know, stamped.
Starting point is 01:00:26 And so we'll see. Let's see if somebody want to make a move for KD. Oh, yeah. Tyler here wrote through Shade at Bam out of Bio. and an Instagram DM with a fan after being traded in Milwaukee. Hero said, you should get paid $60 million to be a top-tier defender
Starting point is 01:00:45 on some nights. I'm just wondering. Bam was paid $50, $58 million over the next three season. He averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3.2 assists, one still 44% field goal shooting. Here, Hero posted a graphic show and Janice and Bam have the lowest
