Come for the sports.
Stay for the story.
According to Pablo Tori,
Kauai Leonard allegedly, allegedly, had an undisclosed multimillion dollar deal with Dachronics,
the company that built the Intuit Dome Halo Board.
Clipper officials openly discussed this as a way to bypass the salary cap.
Money was funneled to Kauai through Dachronics.
If, I, F is the biggest word in the English language.
I capital, I capital,
if asterisk
if this can be proven
if this is true
these allegations
Adam Silver is going to hammer
he has no choice
the clippers he has no choice
and he's going to have to punish
Kauai
yeah
Kauai absolutely
absolutely
wait hold on it wasn't
it wasn't Kauai idea
to try to find a way to
the fuck the state of Salah
actually because if we're
to believe what was reported originally
is that his uncle Dennis
went to Toronto and tried
to get things that would have been illegal
which would have a salary cap violation.
When he went and talked to the Lakers,
allegedly, what was reported
is that he tried to get things.
A source in Toray's report
claimed that Leonard served
as the official spokesman of
a company that a deal openly
joked by being
1,000%
way to circumvent the salary cap.
Now listen.
So the clippers, the clippers get no, get no, no, uh.
The clipper's going to, the clipper, if this is true, the NBA don't want it to be true.
But let me tell you who does want to be true.
The other 29 owners.
They can make it go away.
Because the other 29 orders say, we could have done this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's repercussions.
Go ahead.
So what, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, what do you, if this is proven.
if they.
If there is, right now there's a lot of circumstantial evidence.
But if they were to find a smoking gun,
what do you think the punishment should be for the clippers?
And what should the punishment be for Kauai?
Hey, I'm not sure what the punishment should be.
Okay, Ocho, but it's going to be egregious.
Because when this first came about, man, y'all remember me?
I was like, man, you know, I hate to say it,
but I kind of think it's some truth to this.
you know because I felt like that probably could have been a deal breaker of him not going to
L.A. and coming to the clippers you feel what I'm saying?
So obviously I hate that it's kind of, you know, came to this point.
This came to the forefront.
And we really don't really know if it's really true.
But yeah, man, they're going to punish.
They're going to punish Kauai and the clippers.
I'm talking about draft picks.
It's going to be bad, man.
Well, if they do that to the clippers, it's over.
When you, listen, I got a question, too, Joe.
Now, when you say it's going to be bad when it comes to punishes someone like Kauai that
has played a very long time that's made a lot of money.
What kind of punishment do you think?
Are we talking about suspension or just taking?
Yeah, suspension.
Well, for the whole season or just a few games?
I ain't going to say the whole season.
It's going to hit him.
Yeah, it's going to be some M's that he going to miss behind this.
Okay, so about 20 games.
That's enough.
I think the thing is that when you look at it,
we heard rumbling and everybody said,
well, when this was, this was,
talked about when he signed with the clippers and everybody said it's sour grapes because you didn't get an opportunity to sign him.
It was reported.
Toronto said, no, we can't do this.
This circumvented the salary cap would get in trouble.
It was reported that Jeannie Buzz said, we can't do this.
We can't give you a condo.
We can't give you this.
We can't do that.
That's what was reported at the time.
Everybody said it was because everybody said everybody saying this.
now because he signed
with the Clippers.
One organization is the Lakers.
The other organization
you just won a championship with
and you go to an organization that's been
dormant for years
and years and years.
And people couldn't
understand why.
Money's comparable.
Give people a choice.
So there was like,
that's why people had a hard time
believing it. I don't know.
I think they're doing their due diligence.
They don't want to jump the gun.
They don't want to overreact.
But, man, when you're worth
$170 billion, oh, Cho.
I mean, and the money, let's just say
it was $30 million.
Let's just say it was an extra
$15 to $30 million he was getting.
Man, you think that man missing that?
No, oh, no.
No, he ain't missing that.
That ain't a percent.
That ain't one percent.
of his net worth.
And because he gave the Clippers hope.
That was the first time the people that really started thinking
that the Clippers really had a chance.
Now, they thought like when they had Blake Griffin and Chris Paul,
they had a nice little team there.
But for the most part, until Kauai,
Kauai gave them hope.
Balma said he's going to deba-the-pot.
Yeah, I'm going to de-bo the pot.
Yeah.
You got to think about how he gets the team.
He paid basically four.
five times more than anybody had ever paid for
an NBA franchise. That's how bad
he wanted it. So how much
do you believe he would be willing
to pay to get a superstar of
that magnitude?
Hey, there little 20p, 25 p's
yeah, they ain't anything.
That ain't nothing, nah? No.
We created a little, you know what I mean? The little
fun of it through that like that, that there?
Fun of meal, I want somebody to put a little
something, something, little, you know.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Hold on. Hold on.
The man up there cooking.
He got on cook, well, I would let him cook.
Hey, hey, hey, uncle, let him cook, man.
Yeah.
I tell you one thing my grandma always told me now.
What's that?
He don't show up when you want him,
but he always on right.
He always on time.
Every time.
Every time.
It's coming.
Okay.
It's coming.
Hey, I'm trying to think.
You can come on time, my buddy.
You know, they might make this go away too now.
You heard me?
Yeah.
You know, the powers that be, Joe,
the powers that.
the power that be that run the show
could make this go away.
Yeah.
You think so?
Yeah.
What?
Come on now.
I don't know.
Ocho, I think all these other owners,
bro, they're going to get involved.
They're going to take a deep dive into this, boy.
Hold on.
All the owners don't get along?
No.
Not when you're cheating here.
No, they don't get along.
They just get along when they're going against the players.
Because that's for the greater good.
No.
I don't know.
We don't know.
Yeah, that's a good one.
So, I just don't know because I ain't amending to nothing.
Right.
I don't give a damn you got.
I don't get you got by the day.
I'm not admitting to that.
Well, I mean, Bob was like, when you give me the death sentence?
You give me the death penalty.
You're going to take all my draft pick.
Well, first of all, you ain't got no draft picks anytime, anytime soon anyway.
But then you're going to hammer with a fine, probably 50 mil.
Damn.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I don't think, no, the U.C.
They can't punish him like that.
What's the most they can find?
I think the most they can find is probably $2 million.
Man, it's going to be like, it's going out there giving a homeless man 50 cents.
True.
They ain't going to be by now.
There has to be a limit.
Can you look up right quick?
What would be the penalty?
What's the most they can find an owner?
He's not going to admit to that.
Why, I'm not going to admit to it?
3.5 was what they find the timber wolves.
But they took, like,
three, four first-round draft picks from the Timberwolves.
That's what killed the Timberwolves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But they did it wrong.
They had a hand-shake deal under the table deal with Joe Smith.
Well, how did it get out?
Dude got fired and told.
The same way it always gets out.
Oh, so, man, they need to be stintzy, man.
Three people can keep a secret, but two or three got to be dead.
That's the only way it's going to work.
the more people to know something,
the greater the chance
it's going to get out.
See, that's what I say.
Remember when we talked about the rip
and all that money?
I already know.
Joe and I had already
said what we had to do to you.
Yeah, I'm just saying
that's why I had to get rid of you to
because I'm keeping all the money.
Boy, hey, hey, you're a day later
a dollar show.
I'm going to put one of your, I'll put one of your
dome so quick.
Yeah, he got out of where.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look, little quick like a little hog.
We ain't going to do a little boy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't want you to suffer.
I don't want you to suffer.
I want you to go take the long one.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got you.
Like red claw.
Say, I hope.
Hey, go to sleep.
And I hope it's the long one.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I'll be,
Pablo is a very,
he's a very, very good
investigative reporter.
He's done his homework on this.
Now,
Somebody been coughing up these documents.
Yeah.
Somebody been coughing up these documents.
I don't know who it is, Ocho,
but somebody has been coughing up some documents.
Well, you know, whoever's coughing it up,
either they don't like Kauai or they don't like Mr. Balma.
Or they don't like both of them.
Kauai is so quiet.
I mean, he, I heard him talk maybe, what, three, four times?
A whole lot of talking.
So you would think he was someone that's likable
where they would kind of, you know,
well, listen, we really never had any problems.
out of Kauai, let's see what we can do
to get this gone, because he's not a problem
child. He's not one that is always
in the news or always in the media for doing
wrong, you know, for doing, you know, things
wrong. Let's see if we can sweep
this one under the rug, but I guess not.
Man, Kauai ain't even got on
Instagram.
I mean, Kauai ain't studying it.
Hey,
Bama, they know
Bama, they know Bama pockets.
His pocket long, brother, so they got
to check up on him.
Yeah.
So.
Hey, what you said, Joe?
You said he got no Instagrams?
That man ain't got no IG, bro.
He didn't study y'all out here.
That man, live his best life.
Yeah, and so, you know, this thing,
and it seems like he hadn't been signed
because the last thing I want to do if I'm Toronto,
is to sign him, and then he gets suspended.
Hmm.
Yeah, so I don't think that trade is going to go.
I don't think that trade is going to go through,
okay, Ocho.
And I don't think the Clippers,
I don't think they're going to mind having them back neither.
Damn.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
That's got to be a messed up feeling to have.
Can't go where you want to go.
I got to go back home.
Yeah, I mean, because think about it,
they already traded, you're already in your head.
You're mentally in Toronto.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Now you got to take all that back like, damn.
Because that's what happens, man.
That's the bad, look.
he thought he gonna get up out of their sky free
no no no no no no no
I hate you
you black you know what
you mofo kiss my you know what
that's why your mama ain't itch
that's why she didn't
all of a sudden
old boy
he go to his
he go back to his old lady
and that she's trying to come back to you
hello
no I'm good
I'm good so yeah yeah I mean I can't
I can't get bad.
You was good.
You called me a black mofo and told me I was no good for nothing.
But the moment you brought my mom into it,
I got to let it go.
Yeah, once you're talking about mama.
I got to let you go.
I can't have good cards to know that you talked about my mama like that.
I'd be as sorry as you want me to.
You sorry be?
I'll be 100 of them.
You ain't no good.
Mama.
Enjoy the line at mama, boy.

Why do we think that was a good idea?
We're ready to talk about it.

The definition of what is a movie has kind of changed anywhere, too, right?
What do you think it is now?
It's images and words being spoken, captured by some sort of technology.
Danny McBride.
He loves mouth.
Oh, that's fantastic.
And you make it on, you make your own.
That's great.
I call him Terro Reed.
It's a good name.
They're all named after cast members of American Pie.
Yeah.
I call, I don't, I never looked up if she was in this, but I call him Leachie Sobiesky.
Yeah, I don't think she was an American Pie, but I still like that.
I haven't looked it up.
She was prominent around the same time.
Then Mary Steenbergin.
Why are you guys talking to me?
I'm worried.
I'm worried.
Did you understand the movie?
Why are you talking so down to me that you think I don't understand your little play game?

So, all right, Joe,
I wouldn't know what you think about this one.
Monti-Ella says Warriors would have had the same success
if he had replaced Steph Curry on their championship teams.
If you switch me and Steph out with the team that won the championship,
it'd be the same thing.
Uh-oh.
And let me use the bathroom on that one.
Joe, Joe, know that one better than me.
Go ahead, Joe.
Negative.
Negative, uh, eh, Monta Ellis, who's a hell of a player.
You're talking about as far as a bucket getter, he can do that with the best of them on.
But to replace him and Steph, the role that Steph played, no, sir.
No, sir.
You couldn't, you can't swap that and say they're going to have the same success.
I beg the difference on that.
I think you actually downplaying Steph Curry's greatness.
Yes.
Yeah, absolutely is.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you're downplaying his greatness.
And how great he was, no championship runs.
Bro, he was virtually unstoppable.
You would need to, if this man was a top 75 player,
maybe I could say, okay, well, maybe.
But how you're going to replace a guy, a top 75 guy?
By all estimation, he's the first or second greatest point guard.
I don't really look at him as a point guard,
but I'm saying,
is he a Magic Johnson that's in the conversation?
With that being said,
really?
All the years,
I don't believe because, let me tell you why,
let me tell you why I don't think so,
because he needs the ball.
Yeah.
If you look at the way,
the success that Steph had and KD had
when they played together,
neither one of those guys needed the ball.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I just don't know why guy,
it's okay.
It is okay for you not to be Steph Curry.
Because guess what?
No one else is either.
Nah, yeah, I think his greatness gets...
This man, this man actually saying they would have had the same success
if you take Steph out and put him in.
I have a question.
What's the question?
I never had the opportunity to watch Monta Ellis play, right?
I'm assuming he'd talk about the team that was assembled
with Kevin Durant and Clay.
They went to two championships before KD.
And KD would have never came there
because he was ball.
He needed the ball.
KD wanted to go because
nobody dominated the ball there.
So you're not going to get KD.
Monte Ellis was a point guard, I'm assuming, right?
Yeah.
More like a two.
Masquerading as a two.
Okay.
Two masquerading as a point.
Well, Steph is the greatest shoot of all time
behind the art.
Yeah.
How close, how close, because I'd never
watch Monta Ellis play? Obviously, I didn't even watch basketball back then. How close is Monta Ellis
from the arc? Or just efficiently from the three? He was a, like a, he was a downhill, get to the
bucket kind of game. You couldn't keep him out to paint, Ocho. Like, he was athletic. Yeah. And he, he
played fearless. Like, as far as getting ISO, getting by his man, getting a bucket, he was hell
to stop. So he was Russell Westbrook. Yeah, yeah. Similar, similar. Similar. He played. He played.
that type of force.
He could shoot.
He could shoot, but he wasn't,
he wasn't no damn three-point shooter like that.
Like mid-range, he was a mid-range assassin.
Yeah.
And Steph, not only was he a great three-point shooter,
but you're talking about two, three-four steps
behind the damn three-pointed.
Man, you had to guard this man come across half-court, bro.
So that extends your defense,
which allows guys like Steph Curry
if he runs a lot of picking roles
to be able to operate in so much space.
Man, no.
I mean, don't get me wrong, man.
Monta was great, bro.
He was great.
He was, Steph.
And what happens is, is that once you start picking him up out there,
they start sitting to pick out higher.
Yep.
Now you ask Graz.
Yeah.
And he's a lot more.
Now you got your big trying to deal with him in all that space.
Steph going to get right on down the hill.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's hard.
It's hard to game playing for Steph, Uncle, Ocho.
Not only was he such a great shooter,
but he's probably the guy on.
on the court who was in the most shape.
He was in the best shape.
You know what I mean?
Because he understood that was going to be his defensive mechanism.
Meaning if I can run your ass out to death on offense,
you know, that may even save me a little bit on defense.
And I just think it opened up his game a lot more,
especially when you got guys that buy in like Draymond,
you look at his deficiencies offensively.
He's not a score.
He's not a shooter, but he a hell of a playmaker.
His IQ for the game is high as I don't know what.
so he used stuff to his advantage.
And I think when you got players like that,
like I couldn't really see,
I couldn't really see Draymond
and Monta Ellis being a great fit.
You know,
their games really don't complement each other
if you just want to keep it 100.
You know what I mean?
You know what?
Maybe if Dame Lillard had said something like that,
that's like, okay,
because he can shoot the ball,
he can handle the ball,
he can catch and shoot.
He's tremendous off of pick and roll.
He moves without the ball.
Okay, I might look at that.
I look at my, what do you think about
Monta Ellis and Stefan Marlberry?
Would you say their games are similar?
Guys to get down here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You want to get down here.
I think Stefan might be a little bit more explosive.
Hey, hey, Steph has.
But Monti Ellis, man,
Monta Ellis was a bucket now.
He could score now.
He came out of high school.
Okay, Ojo.
Yes.
Monta Ellis came out of high school to the pros
at 6-3.
You know what I mean?
Like that.
You got to be like that, bro.
Yeah.
What he from Mississippi or something?
Yeah, he's from Mississippi.
Yeah, he's from like Mississippi, yeah.
Okay.
I think to go back and look at that high school game with him and Latero Green,
getting buckets against each other.
Ah, yeah.
Nah, nah, no.
Hey, Joe, you know, now that gives me a better understanding
why he has a confidence to say what he said.
We talk about a player that made it to the NBA coming right out of high school.
Yeah.
At 6.3.
He has to think like that.
Okay, I got it now.
He explosive, he was explosive, though, Ocho.
Yeah, he was.
He was a good player.
Joe and I, we're not saying he's not a good player.
We're saying we just don't believe based on his body of work,
Steph's body of work.
With that office, the way it was, the free flowing,
nobody dominated the ball.
I just don't see it.
That's not to say that he's not a good player because he was a good player.
But Steph is a,
step is not a generational player.
Steph Curry is a transcendent.
player.
Hello.
He's historically great.
There's a difference.
A generation is 20, 20, 25 years.
Steph Curry is transcendent.
Yeah.
As to where as Skip would say transcendental.
He's historically great.
So when we say historically, we're talking about the history of the game.
Yeah.
We talk about that.
That's what we're talking about.
We talk about Steph Curry.
Stefan Wardell Curry.
Yeah.
He's special, bro.
He's special.
Hey, but you know what?
When you think about it,
the only thing they got in common is complexion.
But you know,
Steph...
That's the only thing they got in common.
You know, they played together.
I think Monta had Steph when he was a rookie
and they ended up having to get rid of Monta.
And why is that?
So Steph can flourish.
Hello, there you go.
There you go.
Yeah.
Exactly why they did it.
It ain't no secret.
Hey, with Monty.
And guess what they did?
They got rid of him and guess what they got?
They drafted who?
The guy of Washington State.
Y'all know him?
Another life game fella.
Clay Thompson.
That moved without the ball, they didn't need the ball to be good.
Hey.
And Katie says, you know what?
I can play with them guys.
Because they got guys over there to play the game the right way.
They don't nobody need to dominate the ball.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's why they fit so seamlessly.
Them two beige brothers, boy, they're something else, boy.
Splash brothers.
Get mad to credit, man.
Yeah.
Hey.
Now, I just, you don't, man.
Man, but it's not like, Steph, I mean, he, they're about the same height.
Steph like, six, two, six three, maybe.
I mean, I think Steph and I remember like, sir, I think stuff like seven, I think stuff like
like six two, but you know, six three sound good.
Yeah, they two totally different players though, aren't.
Totally.
Totally different.
Because Steph ain't really trying to dominate the ball.
Step going to get off the ball.
Yeah, because he can shoot that thing.
He going to get off the ball and take off running.
He'll run for one baseline.
Yeah.
Hey, somebody going to be setting the pick at the baseline.
If there was a big one, Kvon Looney or a cheap shot or what's the other guy, Andrew Bogget?
Somebody going to be able to set a peek for him.
He will come off their pin down or he will come off a flare and go let it go.
You already know it.
Hey, and it's going to be cash money.
Yeah.
Cash money.
Best to do it.
But, no, I just don't see it, Monty.
I think you're a tremendous player.
You had a great, had a great career.
But I don't see it.
I sure, well, you know what?
We'll never know, but I sure wish you were there instead of Steph Curry.
Because LeBron would have had two championships I'd know for damn sure.
He did, he had, he had, he had.
Well, he got one.
That 2015, he'd got there with two.
And he'd got more because, guess what?
KD wasn't going there.
Yeah, yeah.
So LeBron had about four championships,
so that he'd have about seven now.
Yeah.
Damn.
So he'd had those four in Cleveland.
He got two.
And who knows?
He might have stayed.
Kyrie might have wanted to stay.
Matt Navajo have been made more enticing for Dan Gilbert
to let Kyrie have some of the perks
that he gave old goat James
and not just shut it down.
Damn, let the man have something.
But no, I don't, I don't, I don't see that.
I just don't.
I wish I could agree with you, Monti, but I can't.
A Bills fan went viral for post showing awful obstructive seats
at the new high mark stadium.
Look at this.
Ocho, look at this.
Can you see this?
Yeah, I can see it a little bit.
They don't like the seats?
Have the part of the view.
You can't feed the other end.
Look at that.
Most of the time, if it's constructed like that,
they have a enormous jumbo-tron when it-
That ain't no jumbo-tron.
Oh, it ain't?
The jumbo-tron is normally high above,
so it ain't like a nobody view.
That's a wall.
That's a concrete barrier.
That's blocking view.
Matter of fact, in those seats, too, Angajjo,
those seats, I'm assuming those tickets will be very, very, very inexpensive.
to be able to sit high up.
You do realize that's a PSL.
I play, I got to pay, I got to pay
to own those seats and then I got to pay for the tickets.
Damn.
Right.
Hey, this ain't no new stadium.
That's a brand new stadium.
They just built it.
They're going into it this year.
Damn.
I don't know who designed this,
but that's some bulljad.
They probably, they probably want to think you got to look at the blueprint,
man.
I understand that, man.
Who called this, bro.
I mean, so how are people that are sitting right there, Ocho,
how are they supposed to see the other half of the field?
And then the other one, it's even worse than that.
That's crazy.
Look at it, Ocho, look how much in the field is blocked.
Hold on.
And, hey, we got to be careful.
We got to be careful, too, with this actual picture,
I would need to be at the stadium to make sure this ain't being exaggerated
and that's not really a seat.
I'm just saying, that look pretty high up
and don't look like in those seats right there.
I could be wrong.
I could be wrong.
But a stadium, but listen.
That one on the left.
That one right over here.
Ocho, you don't see them seats backed up to that wall?
What the hell are you looking at?
Put the head over the good eye.
Maybe you see better out the bad eye.
Hey, you see, you see the railing?
Yes.
It wouldn't be, ain't that stairs right there.
Somebody standing where the stairs at.
The seats go all the way up and you got to sit down.
It looked like they're standing on a stairs.
and taking a picture purposely to make it look like you can't see.
That's just me.
Are you looking at this one?
Yeah, I'm looking at the one right there on the screen.
It looked like they, see, I'm, I guarantee you, I guarantee you I'm right.
And somebody, I think they did that on purpose to make it seem like you can't see,
but I guarantee you that's the stairway to walk up and go further out.
You go to concession stand and to the bathroom, that's not exactly what the seats are.
In 2026, there's no way a brand new state.
has a view like that blocking from one end
where you can't see when the team is on the opposite side.
I'll take your word for it, Ocho.
Yeah.
If somebody else, if somebody else gives them,
but it looked like I can see some seats right there.
Yes, sir.
So we go, we go see.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, other than that, it looked like it's a pretty nice stadium.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I got to go check it out.
The Ritch Stadium.
Go ahead, what did you say, Ocho?
I said, I'm going to go, I'm going to go check it out.
I'm going to, I'm hold on.
Let me see.
We, uh, you know,
All right.
Don't go in there.
They slam your ass on a table and suplex you on the table.
Hey, that'd be fun.
Hey, that'd be fun.
We should go do that.
No, ain't no, we?
You?
Hey, Joe, you want to go to the Buffalo game, Joe, and, like, and jump off the table?
You, like, wrestling?
No, I go to the game, but I ain't doing no damn jumping off no, uh, on the tables.
They'd be sitting the tables on fire, Joe, and be, uh...
Hey, hey, I'm doing that.
Hey, uh, Buffalo fans.
Hey, I'm going to come to a game.
I want to jump on the table with the fire and stuff.
That'd be dope.
That'd be fun, Joe.
Hey, they support.
Hey, charity, your charity, something's wrong.
You get injured.
Hey, man, that's one thing about the Bill fans.
They show up for.
Hey, Joe, them Bill's fans, that might be the best fan base.
They got some great.
In all those sports.
You think so?
What?
When it comes to not only supporting their players, but supporting other team players
when something has happened or there's a charity going on,
they all come together as one and don't.
Oh, man.
A, Buffalo sits at top.
They sit the top.
Who is that?
Somebody had beat somebody
and it knocked them out of the playoffs
and Buffalo was able to get in.
They sent the quarterback like four,
$500,000 to his favorite charity.
They're on play.
Hey, they love they, hey.
Buffalo fans, they've always been pure class, though.
They've always been pure class.
They might have a lot of fun in that tailgating,
but they've always been class.
Thurman and Patty, I know you guys watching.
And you live in Buffalo,
and I know you're,
guys say, hey, give me a picture.
Hey, tell me no for real, Thurham.
Text me and let me know if the stadium really like this.
Patty, I know you probably haven't been to the stadium.
Text me and let me know.
You and Thurman get on here and text me and let me know.
Y'all, y'all ain't sleep, Thurman.
Maybe your old ass still sleep.
Patty, you're not sleep, though, Patty.
Because they'll know.
That's one thing, because they go to a lot of the games.
as a matter of fact, they still live in Buffalo.
So, but no.
You know what, Ocho?
What's that?
I'm looking and see.
I don't know.
I guarantee you somebody posted it on purpose standing on the stairs where that
railing is just to make it seem like you can't see.
I guarantee you I'm right.
Okay.
I'm going to take your word for it, Ocho.
We'll see, hey, guess what?
Somebody, we'll find, we're going to find out in the next week or so.
The next couple of days,
Somebody going to go and be in the state.
You know what?
The preseason start like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
So we're going to find out as soon as they play.
Preseason start this Wednesday?
Well, it already, you know, they had a Hall of Fame game last Thursday.
Yeah, I know that one.
I'm somebody else.
Everybody else starts playing, yes.
Finally.
No, not Thursday.
They start Thursday.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Either way, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Hey, Joe, when them Cowboys play, Joe?
I got a check as far as preseason.
We normally start off on the West Coast because, you know,
we typically be out there in San Diego somewhere.
You know, we got there, L.A., L.A.
Y'all at Aksnard.
Where we at?
Oxnard.
Where is it?
Oxnard, California.
North.
It's up, you know, probably about our hour outside.
Yeah, they typically, that's typically where they start at, though.
What we started.
We started.

On Solita, we share the messy stories of traveling alone as a woman.
Your duolingo is not going to come back to you when a man is inside of you.
Oh, no.
I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes.
without asking anyone else first.
I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita,
trading the pity for possibility.
Every time I tried to be alone,
I kept meeting people, and they were like,
you smiled at us.
Not a lot of people smile around here.
I can wait four hours for the next bus,
or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle.
It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is,
and not the lies you're sold about it.
So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip,
I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jalen Brown did not hold a hold back in the 76th introductory press conference
speaking openly about his lack of communication with Jason Tatum.
Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
Jalen, how would you describe characterize your relationship with Jason over the last year, Jason Tatum?
And is that a partnership you both wanted to continue before the trade?
You know, we won a championship together.
So anybody that you won a championship, you would think, like, that's what, you know, a brotherhood or a lifelong legacy would entail.
Obviously, there's ups and downs in any type of relationship, for sure.
But on my end, it's nothing but respect.
You know, besides when he plays the Sixers, you know, I hope he does well.
You know, but other than that, you know, everything for me is just based in respect.
Have you guys been able to talk?
Not really.
Joe?
Yeah, Joe, that's for you to answer.
I don't understand it.
That's too cryptic for me.
Listen.
I think they both on two different pages, man, living two different lives.
You know, J.B.
ain't got no kids.
Okay, Ocho.
No.
J.T.
He got two kids, you know, beautiful wife.
Wife girlfriend's up?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They live in two totally different lives, bro.
You know, and it's okay that they don't hang out outside of that,
but they haven't really talked.
Hey, man, this is a part of the journey, bro.
It is.
It hurts sometimes, you know, playing on teams and then you get traded.
Obviously, you leave behind guys who you've been playing with for eight, seven, nine years, you know what I mean?
But at the same time, this is our profession, bro.
This is what we signed up for.
This is part of it.
You know what I mean?
I think we are trying to make a big deal about Jason Tatum and J.B.
But for me, man, I don't even really feel like there's no huge.
I don't feel like there's no big deal.
They were two great players who want a title together.
And a lot of times great players don't obviously don't, don't be hanging out.
And that's okay.
I'm okay with that, especially in basketball.
Now, basketball, because you guys are together a little bit more than we are, Joe.
I mean, y'all on the road all the time and y'all close-knit, so forth and so on.
Man, I ain't, look.
And we can be cordial, but that,
I don't mean, I mean, it ain't like I'm over to his, you know,
I don't know if Michael and Scotty is come to find out
they were not as together or as close or as mesh,
as people might have thought.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Hey, Uncle Joe, people got to remember now.
You got to remember.
A lot of people in the chat, you know, y'all have jobs.
You go to work.
And, you know what?
You ain't friends with everybody at your own job.
You know, you go in there with a job to do.
It's the same thing with sports.
You're not going to get along with everybody.
If you happen to meet someone, you know, and y'all get along outside of your job and decide to hang out, that's cool.
But I'm there to do one thing.
Bring an NBA championship to Boston.
Now, if Jason Tatum and Jayne Brown happen to be friends and become friends outside of the game of basketball and their duties that they're supposed to do for the Celtics, then so be it.
But everybody ain't going to be buddy-buddy.
I just think they're two different people.
That's just the nature of the business in general.
I really do, Joe, don't Joe.
I just think they're two different people.
I don't really think that.
Honestly, honestly, other than basketball,
tell me what you think they two have in common.
They probably don't.
They probably don't have much in common.
I mean, you're going to work about,
hey, Bob, how you doing?
I hate you, motherfucker.
That you do.
But then the question is,
okay, the communication.
what would the communication entail?
What did the other expect from the other?
What does that even talk about in general?
Hey, I'm trying to win.
Hey, I'm trying to be the best I can be.
You try to be the best you can be.
Hopefully we can come together.
And for one shining moment, they won a championship together.
Yeah.
No matter what J.B. did, there were very few people
that thought he was a better player than JT.
Even after he won Eastern Conference MVP,
even after he won finals MVP,
even after he took this team,
he averaged, what he averaged,
28 points a game,
even though he got this team to the number two seed,
they got out,
they let Al Horford go,
they let Holiday go.
Jason Taylor was gone except for the last 20 games.
In his mind, me,
I'm just, I'm just psychoanalizing,
I'm from the back.
Right.
It was just hard.
Like, man, I don't know what I can do for people to see me.
First of all, you take two, you take, first of all, it's three guys.
I know for a fact, even if you say I'm not better than JT,
I'm better than the other two guys that you put on the Olympic team.
Right.
I just think they thought that the question is, the question,
and I asked you this, Joe, about a month ago, I said, had the rolls been reversed,
JT goes there and he's not, he's getting DMPs.
Does he handle it in the same manner
and with JT handled it?
No, son.
You don't think so?
J.B?
Hold on, hold on, Uncle Joe.
Now, the problem was not even going,
not even being selected, not even being thought of
or having two people that you felt you were better
than going there before you.
But you think not only if you do get selected,
you're going to have a problem with the DMP as well?
Why you brought your problem over if you weren't going to play me.
Hello.
Look who's in front of him.
Hang on to do with it.
Look who's in front of him.
How are you going to complain?
Let me ask you question.
Who they were supposed to sit down for you?
When you went to the Pro Bowl, you was okay?
They said, well, look who in front of you, Ocho?
You're like, hold on, I'm Ocho.
Yeah, and that's why I was starting.
I'm saying.
But so when he, that's how he looks at it, though.
He's like, who the final is MVP?
Okay, I see you.
Who did that?
Who did that? Who did that?
Hey, can I ask you something, though?
Hey, on the Joe.
Even with the accolades, even as well as he played, right?
Let's say he was selected, you know, to go play
and represent the USA.
Please tell me the player that he said,
that's supposed to sit on the bench for him.
I'm just curious.
Who's sitting down to let him play?
See, the way you think it logical.
But when you're a supreme athlete,
you don't think logical.
Well, even as a supreme athlete,
athlete, I have to understand who's better to me.
And his mind, you don't think none of them better than him.
Oh, Cho.
Come on.
Yeah, could think about it.
Even, even though you do have Durant and LeBron playing that same position.
I mean, you can't find three, four minutes for your boy.
I can't hit this.
How many, Joe?
Three, four minutes.
I don't want to touch the flow.
Let me run a couple of wind sprints.
Come on, man.
You didn't brought me way over here.
You mean, tell me you can.
Come on, man.
Come on, Joe.
Now, now you got me sitting on the bitch like I.
I'm the 11th man in an NBA game.
Hey, hey, Joe, I see how y'all
that be sitting down in like this here, like, damn.
You hope I get it in the night.
Hey.
And the man said, hold on, where the damn bit it.
I like JV, man.
I like JV.
I do too.
Hey, he's very controversial without being controversial.
It's just the way he conducts himself,
the way he talks, you know, his wording, his sentence structure.
He is the smartest one in the room.
He is at times if you listen to him, talk.
Yeah, it's going to be interesting.
The question is, do you believe J.T. could have done more to talk to Boston to keep J.B?
I don't think so.
I think they were going to part ways from him.
Okay, Ocho, because, one, they didn't want to have to pay him all that damn money.
They knew they were going to have to pay him, pay him.
Because he was going to be before the attention.
I mean, at the end, at the end, I mean, at the end,
of the day, that's what it basically came down to.
You know what I mean? But all this
rumbling behind it has kind of
got stirred up. But at the end
of the day, man, they
got too much money tied up in the two guys.
Yeah.
But that's what happened when you do a great job of drafting,
Ocho and Joe. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, hell,
and you got a championship.
And you know what else, too?
Jason Tatum might not
want to stand on the table
for him anyway, as well as
he played when he was out.
Maybe.
I'm just, hey,
you know,
and I don't think
there's anything that J.B. could have done
that could change the way
people feel about him.
Yeah.
Nothing.
He thought after the way he played this year,
that would ingratiate him
more to the organization.
Because I think the fans,
I think the fans appreciate him
and know what he rank.
But he thought the way he played this year
would ingratiate him more
with the organization.
And it did this the opposite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It probably was worse.
Probably.
You got worse because he played so well.
So who do you think so?
I think.
Go ahead, Joe.
I think because, you know, he came out and made those statements and said that this was his best season.
He had the most fun this season.
So everybody kind of took that as like a little slack.
And I think they've been giving him, they've been giving him, you know, some backlash behind that.
But, hey, man.
The young way ain't going to come ready to play.
Because the thing is, when you get in that position,
they parse everything that you say.
Yes, sir.
Been there.
We know that, Ocho, and the little business that we end,
everything that we say, they pick apart.
Yeah.
Hey, you know, you know what,
would J.B. remind me of a little bit?
I think some people in the chat
probably won't get it, you know, based on their age.
Remember good times?
Yeah.
Remember how when Michael would be militant at times?
Yeah, yeah.
That's what J.B.
remind me of a little bit.
You're right.
Joe, who do you?
Go ahead, Joe, Cho.
Finish up.
No, no, that's it.
That's it.
I just think about that.
Which superstar do you believe
is under the most pressure?
First you are Joe and then,
Ocho.
Jason Taito or Luca?
I got Luca, man.
Luca.
No LeBron?
Man, he didn't carry,
he carried a lot of weight over the,
you know, over the past, what,
eight, nine years,
and he was in L.A.
and we're going to have to see if Lucas man can stay healthy for a whole 82
and have like an MVP type season obviously yeah he I mean because he is
tremendous throughout the regular season when he plays he led the league and
scoring so he got he I think the most pressures on him and they in LA

Slimmer. Joel Embedde is going viral.
One executive bluntly stated,
they don't trust him at all when discussing NB's health and availability.
Embed has played just over 50% of the regular season games
since entering the NBA in 2014.
He's played 490 out of 965 possible games.
Joe, with Brian, Max, and J.B. around him.
If Embed can stay healthy, stay in this kind of shape,
can they win the title?
Yeah, they can win.
I told you.
I told you on Ocho, man, I say, listen, if I'm Brun, this before he committed, I said, man, I'm on the phone with M.B.
Come to find out what happened, Uncle Ocho, Brun went and met with him B.
Yeah, because he's the catalyst to whatever it is that Philly's trying to do.
Yep, Maxie going to be great, Edge come going to be great, J.B. going to be great, LeBron going to be great.
But if this man right here, he looked good, he looks like he in great shape, I hope he can get up and down the court with this.
but if he can keep this up,
Uncle Ojo and he's in great shape
and he's back to where he's virtually
unguarable.
They're looking at his left knee.
