which one looks the most horrific so far through three weeks? The Seahawks player in Rashid, 17 million instead of Ken Walker, who makes only 14 million. Jazz decided not to play Parker, Washington, and he's been bawling this entire season. The Rams traded Miles Garrett to L.A. for Cleveland for Jerry Burst, a 2027 first rounder, a 2028,

first rounder, a 22nd and 29, or a second and 29 and a third for Garrett. Zero tackles went on our and will be out, we'll be out until week nine. Patriots giving up a 28, a 2028 first round and a 2027 fifth round pick for A.J. Brown who went on IRR and his expected back mid-season. Three receptions, 26 yards. Malit Willis, three years, 67 million. O and three, one passing touchdowns, two interceptions. The Saints, signed in Travis, 18. 10. Four years, 48 million.

He's the fifth highest paid running back, 27th to Russian, and I think he tweaked his hamstring or something. Buccaneers extended Baker Mayfield. Three years, 165 million, O and three, Baker dislocated his right thumb. We missed Ty Baker stats in 10 games, 11 touchdowns, 11 interceptions,

2 and 8 record in his last 10 games. God, damn. Hey. All them sound bad, don't it, Joe? They do. I'm going with K-9, With Seahawks not paying K-9. That's what I'm going with.

I don't like that one, Joe. You ain't got to like it. That's what I'm going with. Oh, my bad. My bad, Joe. What'd you go on with? I think the thing, what's really skewing it is that the guys that they traded for, they're out for a substantial amount of time.

Miles Garrett is out until week nine. A.J. Brown is out until mid-season. Travis A-T.N., you know, played up really well in Jacksonville last year. And that's the thing that you hate. Go to a new team and I'm hurt already. Damn, that's the worst. That's the worst. Especially as a competitor, Ocho.

That's the worst, bro. Because look, when you find a team who's invested in you and really believe in you, bro, the last thing you want is not to be able to deliver. Hell, the best ability is available. Yes, sir. And them guys ain't available, bro. I know that's tough. That's tough.

Damn. to Miles Garrett's going to have to come back and play out of his mind. And what's the chances of that happening? Think about it. But I don't think about that. When Miles Garrett does get back, when he does come back, I don't necessarily say he has to play out of his mind because I understand he coming back from injury. I don't think he has anything to prove.

Even though he got traded, we know what he can do. We know why he got traded. Yeah. We understand that. So for someone like Miles Garrett who has done it countless times again and again, and year after year after year, we all understand. Well, at least I understand, you've gotten hurt, so you weren't able to give us what we're used to seeing from you in LA.

Are we going to get it at some point? Yes. But once you come back, there's no need to go out there and try to play Superman. Play within the confines of the defense. And as you see fit without getting yourself hurt. And when you can contribute, then so be it. He's going to have to play really, really well for the simple fact.

They gave up 30 points in the second half. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You think it was 30 points in the second half. Yeah, to the Bronx. Yeah, you're right, you're right. Yeah. And remember how they looked, remember how they looked in Australia. Yeah.

So offensively, they're going to put up numbers. They're going to get Pooka back at some point. Mm-hmm. The question is, what would be their record when Miles Garrett does come back? Yeah. Because the 49ers look real good. They do. I think the city, I think look,

Seattle had a little bump in the road with the, with the commanders. Yeah. So, hey, you say the 49th look good, huh? Yeah, they look good. Yeah, don't they gotta face, who y'all gotta play next again? They got Bronco country.

Okay. But we normally do, we normally, I mean, for the, I mean. I mean. I just make a show you hurt you, you know, huh? Cause all that all that yippin and yapping you were doing for last night, but I'm- man, that's old news.

That happened yesterday, Ocho. Oh, Joe, I moved on. I don't moved on. You was feeling this stuff. I ain't the type of guy that do well on stuff, Joe. That is what I do. I can't wait. I can't wait this Sunday, boy.

Yeah. It's gonna come back to hunting, Mocho. Don't worry. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. What you think will happen to you on Sunday? Who?

What's you call it? Oh, they're riding in the shape. Will Madison Jr. and Danelle Hunter, they're rounding in the shape. Mm-hmm. Hey, Joe, the Cowboys play Houston? Yeah. Yeah. And Houston do for a win at some point, Joe.

Yeah. I can't think of a better team to get it against. Hey, what you mean? You think they won no game here? They might well stay down there. Damn. Guess what? After Sunday, y'all have the same record, one and three.

Damn. Hey, that'd look bad though, huh? Uh-uh. Yeah, quarter pole, one and three. And one game and one win and four, and four. I thought, I thought, say it's a day, this is the day, yeah. Because you said the defense supposed to be,

last year they were 30th. This year they're only 30th. Man, y'all talking about something that ain't even happen yet. Y'all, y'all talking about something that ain't even going to happen. Y'all are talking about what ifs. Nah, we know what's going to happen.

Come on, man. Y'all got to keep it one, hunt. No, come on, man. You're the one that said, you're the one that said, but you are, you're talking about a loss already. Damn, we ain't even played the game. Joe, you didn't play three games so far. Oh, Joe.

We won in two, bro. You're trying to make it seem like... About to be one and three. Now, see, that's Unk doing that, Joe. That ain't me. But you're right with him, though. He's doing it. He, that's who he is.

I already know he. Oh, Joe. What happened to Gotti? Greatest offense there is. Oh, man. They put that on their self. Yeah, it's... Maybe, maybe it's still early.

What do you think? I mean, normally, after you do something, they give you a title. Yeah. The greatest show on turf wasn't the greatest show on turf until they won. Yeah. You know, you get the bears, the monsters of the bid, where you get the 2,000 ravens, you

get the 70 Steelers. You, I mean, normally you do the fun bunch, the Washington. Normally that's what normally happens. How you just arbitrarily give yourself a name? Dang. Well, P, A, everybody move a little different now. We're in 2026. We're about to go into 2027.

Things ain't how it used to be back in the 80s and the 60s. It ain't like that no more. You know what I mean? The name wouldn't be the same if somebody, if you gave yourself to that, hey, I want y'all to call me ISO Joe. Listen, man, it's still early. We got a lot of football ahead of us, fellas.

Yeah, yeah, we do, Joe. Yeah, and I get it. I get it. Y'all, y'all got a lot of more games to lose. You're right. See what I'm saying? I know y'all are praying on my downfall. No, no, no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see it. I see it. It's okay. It's okay. I like it when the dick stacked against me. It's okay. When the who?

The deck. Oh, man, you need to chill, bro. Oh, Joe, you dealt the, but Joe, you dealt the cards. We let you shuffle. We let you deal the cards. You had the cards. He was doing all that talking before the season started. How good is team is.

Hey, how they move. We got Caleb downs and our defense. We're going to be able to stop the one and stop the pass. Now all of a sudden, we against you. You were doing all the talking, not us. Then y' y'all act like we out of it, though. That's what I'm saying. Y'all ain't like the damn season.

You are, but you don't know it yet. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I don't say what? You are out of it, but you just don't know it yet. Y'all out of you just ain't, ain't nobody told you yet. Y'all got a chill, man. Damn. You've heard the chaos. Now you can see it.

Dolphins head coach Jeff Happily looked surprised when he saw the lack of reporters at his press conference today. Take a listen, guys. Got everybody that's coming? It's heat media day. See that tea media done.

I got you. Same time. All right. Damn, Ocho. Miami is a basketball town now? I mean, listen, it's media day. We got Janus, huh? We got Bam.

You hear me? Man, come on, bro. Hey, hey, come on. Hey, come on. We owe it. Man, my Dolph is 0 and 3. You know ain't of the media members reporting and reporting the Dolphin can be here

what the coach got to say after a loss. It's really nothing to talk about. We're bad right now. Now, A Chan is out with a tour in ACL, our best running back, one of the best in the league at that, especially if you got off a good season last year. He just got paid.

He's gone for the season, huh? He's down eight, nine months, huh? What you want us to talk about? We just played a quarterback. You know, we just got a quarterback from Green Bay. I mean, what are we talking about? Y'all down. It's, it's media day, right?

Media day. For NBA. For every NBA team. Yes. And matter of fact, all the reporters decided to go to the team that's going to come out to west, come out to east this year. That's the Miami heat. Oh, that's how you're going to flip it.

That's how you're going to flip it. That's the Miami heat. I will be that opening night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hey, Anthony Edwards, huh? All right. A lamello ball. All right. You better watch out.

Just understand when you come into Miami and it can say a center on Biscayne Boulevard, just know it's going to be BTA. And it'll be courtside like. Spike. Huh? I got my tickets already, huh? Hey, man, you just open, you just open a can of whoop ad for the heat. Hey, it's one thing about a can. I got the lid to it, nigg. Oh. My bad. My bad.

Huh? I'm gonna be there. I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait. It's got to be tough to be a coach of a team. You don't have a whole lot of good players. I mean, you got players. you're O and three. Miami have that thing. And like you said, they got Yonis coming to town and you got one or two media members. He's like, he's like, he didn't have a problem with him having media day.

He's like, oh, they got it at the same time, huh? Hey. No, I know he was so sharp. They'd rather wait for four hours for the heat to go talk to you. Oh, boy. Speaking of NBA media days, at the sixth of media day, LeBron James has already said in the tone that his championship robust for Philly.

Just take a listen to what LeBron had to say. In order for us to be great, we have to do things that are just not comfortable. We have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. That is the best way to expedite being great. You have to fall in love with doing things that's uncomfortable. And if we can do that, then we can be a great team. If we don't do that, then we'd be like, oh, man, it was a great team on paper.

And we had a lot of great talent and we lost in the second round. Like, I don't want to do that. I didn't leave my family to lose in second round. I know that for sure. So work needs to be done and I'm ready to put the work in. Thank you, LeBron. Yeah. Hey, that was real cute, huh?

He's talking about second round. Huh? You might not even come out to East because we're coming out. We're going to be the first seed. You hear me? he's going to be the first seed. Now, now on paper, like he said, you look at the Steelers last year,

you see how good they look on paper? Highest, highest salary, you know, collectively as a group, but it'd been nothing when it was time to play. I like LeBue. I like Tyreece Maxie. I like Embed. On paper, it looked good.

It looked good. But what you're going to do when you get on that court? Because I've been waiting on this. I've been waiting on basketball season to show y'all how evolved and how better I've gotten, you know, at the knowledge of the game. I can't wait. Yeah.

I can't wait. I want to do too much talking right now, you know, but the fact that it was me today, now we get to get into NBA season and I'm ready, huh? We, hey, hey, hey, well, I'm going to be in this thing like George Cedano, hear me? I'm going to be like Doris Burke, you hear me, huh? Y'all going to have to give me, it's not going to be Johnson anymore.

My last thing going to be Legler. Hey, we, we, we less than a month away from hoops. Yeah. Brun, Brun looked like he is from Philly with that damn ball head. He then finally went 187 with their beard. He looked like he fit right in with them Philly boys. Oh, Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He fought as long as he could, though, Joe. He held on to a, he held on to a losing effort as long as he could. He did, hey, but the ball head don't look bad on him. No, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, the ball head looks with him. Hey, that's my twin. Yeah, yeah, but I think Brun knows and understand. Like, yeah, he wouldn't have a good time.

You want to have fun, but at the same time, he want to add to his legacy as well. That man ain't went to Philly because he thought they could win a bunch of damn games. He went to Philly, Uncle Ocho, because he felt they can win a title. Yeah, like I told y'all before, I said, man, listen, I would be, if I'm brun, I would be on the phone with M.B., what was the first thing he said? He said, I called M.B., and him chopped it up, da-da-da-da. Listen, man, that man going to be focused, bro.

He's going to be healthy. Yeah. He just needed to know M.B. He was healthy. That's it, bro. He just needs to be. Look, I hadn't had no off-season surgery. This is healthy as I've been in a long, long time.

I'm ready. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, uh, not only are you healthy, but mentally, what, where is your mental state? Are you mentally locked in to where, you know, we can go out here and compete for one? Because I can't help you get a title, big fella. Heck, I obviously want to add to mine, too. You feel what I'm saying? Yeah.

Hey, man, this is going to be a fun year. The Eastern Conference is, I think it's going to be a whole new look, bro. You know, hey, hey, think about it. from the Miami Heat to Philly to Toronto, to New York, to Boston. Hell, that's five teams right there, man. To my Hawks, that's six. I mean, hey.

Who? My Hawks. Detroit. Hey, uh, man, he talked about the East and had to squeeze them damn hawks in there somewhere, didn't he? What he's talking about, man? Hey, Joe, listen, the hawks are nowhere. You don't know.

What you mean? What you mean we know well? Joe, let me finish, Joe, because I proved you, You don't know ball like I do when it comes to basketball. You hear me? Now, I understand the Hawks are on the up and coming, huh? I know you love your boy, Jalen Johnson. You know, I understand all that.

I get that. But coming out of the East is not it. Now, y'all might get maybe the play in, Joe, maybe the play in. Damn. You might be in Cancun. You might not get that. But when it comes to the East, we got the focus on, for one, the Knicks. We need to name them right away.

We need to name them right away and have some respect. For after 53 years, they finally won a championship. So out of East, we've seen. saying nix first okay after nix we're going with the heat you hear me huh after the heat no we're going to be respectful and we're going to talk about we're going to talk about philly because they got lebron everyone lebron is when you know what he does and what he brings you know hey but what about what about detroit who was the number one seed uh last year what about them you hey hey we got a problem we got a problem over in detroit right now you hear me huh

because we got somebody that don't want to sign a contract you know who was a pivotal part of that offense, you know, in season, regular season. Yeah. Now that's the post season, you know, he kind of disappeared a little bit. And the, in the, in the team, the entity, the franchise, doesn't think he deserves that full year 20, what is he looking for? Or five, two, fifty. You're looking for five, two, eight four to five, two hundred.

Wait, two eighty-what? Two-eight-four. Now y'all ain't tell me all that now. That's what he's looking for. That's what he want. Five-284. That's his market. Ocho, the man was an all-N-B-A-B-A.

playing all NBA selection so he that he's a super max guy yeah yeah yeah y'all got me uh be uh so he wants wants he wants 57 a year instead of 40 a year i mean how many points brother uh brother durham put up right he average 19 and 10 in the regular season he average 10 and 10 and 9 12 and 9 and put it like this here uh the big impersonator d'andre aton right and average had a better playoff average than him. And we know what you, and I know what you think of D8, the big abomination.

You got a chill. You got a chill. That man, we got a chair. Joe, you know that man. The man got to have a chain delivered. The day they got knocked out of the postseason. Talk about domination.

It was just, it was bad timing. That's all it was. Yeah. It was bad timing. Hey, it was bad timing. But guys like him, they're going to always be in the,

league okay Ocho because here he's seven foot one you can't teach that yes you cannot teach that so hey you can say what you want to but here he hey he probably gonna be a pivotal piece to Washington what they got going on man I like Washington team I think they're going in the east until you ask until you ask uh uh DA answer what yeah we count on you man we need 15 we need 15 to 10 tonight he'll give you two and six You can't tell him that though. Some guys you got to know, you can't tell them that. You, you, you give them expectation here.

They ain't gonna go out and get you nothing. Yeah. I didn't ever see, you know, you ain't never see nobody had hands bad as he as though, Joe. Oh, yeah, maybe it was the pressure of that being playing in LA though, huh? No, the lights are different. The lights are different. He real bright guy in LA.

He was bad in Phoenix. He was bad in Portland. You know what it is? Cause he, he ain't no, he ain't no power big. Ocho, he'll finesse being. Like he got a nice touch. Like he's going to try to shoot the little touch shots by the go. He ain't going to be doing a whole lot of powering

up, dunking on nobody. Right. Or them forceful rebounds. He, unc, on somebody back in the 70s. You know, he, he won't make a keel or some damn body. He wasn't. Man, he ain't. That ain't what he do. The man, 7-1, Joe. Ain't no way. I'm 7-1.

I ain't going to give you. I ain't going to get you. I ain't going to get you no less than 20 or 10. I don't get a little 20 10. Say what? Number one pick. Yeah. Damn. Hey, like you say, you can't coach that.

You hear me? It ain't like we got a whole bunch of seven footers, you know, just walk around the earth. We got, we got something out here, but half of them ain't athletic. Half of them real slow, you know, can't move. They ain't got no coordination, you know, no type of skill.

You just got to take your expectations down. You got you aren't looking for 20 and 10. Hell, they ain't what he getting you. All he's getting you 80 and 4. You're going to have to live with that. And he can get you 20 and 10. Yeah, he'll have a night or two or three. He can have a night like that consistently.

You know, all they got to go go see. What's Kyrico's name? Mr. what? Oh, you're talking about Phil handy? Yeah, go see Phil. Now, Phil can't do nothing for him. Huh? Phil can't do nothing for him.

I'm, hey, Joe, if you see his batch of crap, you want to improve. want to evolve year to year and improve, huh? Yeah. Don't be comfortable just because you got paid. Hello. I want to be one of the grates. Hello.

That's just me. Yeah. I don't know if many guys think like that, Ocho. They think about that bag. They ain't think about no greatness. Hey, I'm thinking about the bag too. I'm thinking about the bag, but I'm also going to be great while I got the bag.

They care more about the bag. Hello. Because it's so, it's, the bag is so big now, fellas. It ain't, you know, that bag different now. Yeah, you have to understand. You know, if I'm good, if I'm good, the bag gonna keep coming. Huh? I don't just want to get one bag.

Joe, I'm like you, Joe. I want to go get my main course. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. I want me a little size. Hello.

Hello. A little dessert, Joe. Hell, there we go. There's just me thinking. Yeah. Everybody don't think like that, though, Ocho. Yes, all. No, they don't.

Everybody, everybody, you got some cats who just happy and content with the little crumbs that they do get, bro. They ain't tripping. They ain't tripping. Boy, please. I want to hold me a damn them crumb. Hmm. Yeah.

Well, I ain't worried about nobody else. I need to, we're going to have to get a chance to go see old goat James, see what they put down in Philly. Hey, hey, let's all plan to go sit courtside in Philly, man, what y'all want to do? Yeah, we can do that.

Okay, with what game, though? Man, I don't even know what, I don't know, Ocho. We have to plan it. We're going to have to be on a, probably be like a, I'm an hour and 40 minute flight from Philly. Joe, you're right around the corner. You're the issue.

You weigh on the other side of the world. But I'm ready. You hear me? You let me know, I get, I get the course side tickets for us. You know, my dog. We might have to come down there and catch Philly and, uh, uh, no, we need to go see the Phil. We need to see him in Philly.

Why? Because that's what you want to see him in, in Philly. Not really. We can see him down here in Miami because, hey, um, you know, I, I, you see, you see, see how quick that change? Yeah. Now, he won't be something closer.

He ain't got to do no traveling. No, I'm getting the tickets. What you're talking about? Huh? Hey, hey, hey, Joe, you know I get Corside free at the Heat games. I don't even abuse it. Yeah. I don't abuse my power that I have access to the tickets.

You know, when the last time you see me at Corside with the Miami game? That my last time there when D.WA was playing, huh? D. D. Wade got me tickets. That's my last time if he was on the wood. So I don't abuse my power even though I have access. But for y'all, for y'all, Yeah.

Because my appreciation and thank you to y'all, I get the tickets, all three us on the world. Y'all let me know, man. Y'all let me know. I'm looking for a good time, especially basketball season too. Yeah, and you know when Brian go to Miami, you know because he's like an X he used to deal with. So, you know, he's going on to, he's going to show up and show out. He ain't going to play no game. Right.

I think not. He can show up and show at all he won't. You know, sometimes you pull up at somebody house to fight them. Yeah. You pull up on me. Yeah. You pull up and get your ass. That's what happened to Brown to come down in Miami.

We got y'all, Ocho. Who is we? Hey, Uncle, who is we? Philly. He went Philly now. Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay. You were just a Laker fan last year. I was a LeBron fan.

wherever you get your podcasts. Luca Donchard was blunt when asked about not playing with LeBron James this season. Check this out. Luca, how does this feel this day with LeBron James not being here and now the focus of being on you being a leader, also Austin? It feels great. Obviously, it's a new challenge. I was in this position in my career a lot of times,

so it's not new to me. But I feel great. I feel excited. and like I said I'm ready to go okay hey yeah I mean he was the face of a franchise for the moment he stepped foot in Dallas Dallas yeah and for the most part wherever he goes if he lose on he gonna be the face of the franchise that's that's just the way it works yeah the boy got he got that much game you're right yeah yeah wherever he go he gonna be one a option one a

and look y'all know playing in LA it comes with a lot of weight you got a win a title hold on my expectation Joe that's what I'm saying oh my you got to win in LA this ain't like Dallas where you can sit back there drink beers all damn day after the game have a good time kick your feet up

they ain't having that in LA they won't winners bro they want legends you know what I mean like when you go to LA Ocho that's supposed to take your it's supposed to take your career to a whole other level bro hey can I say something on Joe

go ahead on left but Joe let's be honest about it now you know no disrespect to the Lakers I'm sure we have a lot of Laker fans in here, even with those expectations, and you look at the team that's constructive right now, it's not a team that's built to win the championship. It's definitely not, huh? I understand how great Luke is.

I understand that. I understand how good AR is, and how he's improved tremendously from year to year, offensively. But obviously, you know, they're kind of handicapped on the defensive end. They still don't have a big, they haven't answered that question,

having a fire that can play. They don't even have a stretch fire that can goddamn play, you know, let alone a big man down there. in in in uh in the post you know so they got so many pieces that are missing so those expectations have to be limited until you're able to get you need one more star joe they oh joe you need one more joe because the expectations aren't even realistic if you don't get that one more piece they spent money in the summer they win in they they they they signed the big boy from uh from utah um damn i can't remember his name i know you know you know what see i am in i'm i'm

But anyway, he bought, he bought a 7-1, Ocho. He a rim protector. He can shoot the ball. He can score. He can pass. He can play. It's just what it is. They just don't have enough melanated brothers, bro.

So people don't think they're going to be competitive. You don't think they're going to be able to compete in the West. I mean, listen, this ain't the 70s no more, Joe. You hear me? This ain't the 70. Now, you understand, you know, I mean, you can't, it's not a coffee unless you got, you got to have some, you know. Hello.

Hello. You got to have a little mixture of everything. You know, I ain't, I ain't going to go there. Hey, but listen, but hold up, Ojo. I like J.J. Redick, though. You know, I like J.J. Redick. I like his coaching style. And I think he can get the best out of them boys.

Now, they are in the Eastern Conference. I don't know, man. The Western, Western Conference. I mean, the Western Conference. I got to see, I got to see, you know, the first at least 10 to 15 games to kind of assess what kind of team they're going to be. and how they going to play?

Because it's a gauntlet, bro. It's a gauntlet in their west. Walker Kessler. Walker, that's the guy he got for you talking. Can't think his name. Yeah, so they got a big, they got some bigs. Hey, you heard what you just said? They got some bigs, not a big.

You get the difference. You see how that sound? They got some bigs, not a big. Okay. Okay. You see what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying? As a Laker fan, you would want to limit your expectations based on your

personnel and what you have. So what I said still staying true. They got some bigs, not a big. Right. I think the thing is, if you go back and study the Lakers, Wilk came won a championship. Kareem came, won a championship. Jabbar came, won a championship.

LeBron came, won a championship. Shaq won a championship. When you go and you were a superstar at your previous location, all the guys that I mentioned were superstars at their previous team. You got to win a title. Yeah. You got to win a title. Back.

Back. That's what they expect in the LA. That's the expectation. That's the expectation. And they want you to win multiples. You know, Kareem won five of his six in L.A. Shack won three of his four in L.A. Will only won two, but he won one of them in L.A.

Yeah. So this is, Luca's going to have to win a title in order for the, I know the fans love him, but L.A. is based on titles. It's the big man capital, but every,

every superstar that's joined the Lakers have won a title. I don't know if he's going to be a deliver one, okay, I ain't going to lie to you. I like Luca. I'm talking about the boy got plenty of game. You hear me? but man. Oh, yeah, yeah, he's solid.

But, man, when you talk about what they got in their Western conference to have to fight with, I'm there ain't talking about just this year. I'm talking about over the next seven to ten years, the next decade. Bruh. How do you think he's going to win it? He got to go through at least a couple of them damn teams to win one. It's going to probably go through OKC, got to get through San Antonio, Minnesota, got to get through San Antonio.

Chad. Y'all don't listen for shit. I know a lot of y'all, y'all got off the school bus, walked through the school and went to them trailers in the back. What happened? What they did? Because I was very specific in what I said.

Right. Tell me the difference between Kareem, Shaq, Wilk, LeBron. Tell me, tell everybody the difference between those teams and Kobe Bryant. What was the difference between Wilk Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaq, and LeBron James? Tell me the difference between. What do they have in common that Kobe didn't?

Because y'all don't listen for ish. Y'all so anxious to try to stump somebody. Oh, oh, you can't, you hate Kobe that much. Y'all dumb. Everybody in the chat that keep mentioning Kobe is dumb. Hey, y'all don't get on. Did Wilk spend 20 years? Wilk came from another team.

Kareem came from another team. Shaq came from another team. LeBron came from another team. Luca came from another team, Dum Dums. It's really simple. If you listen, y'all don't want to listen. Y'all want to have this preconceived notion that if somebody doesn't mention Kobe, they're hating.

But if you listen to what I said, it's very apparent. But you didn't want to listen. But anyway, back to our normal schedule programming. If you come join the Lakers, the expectation is everybody that's been that has won one. And we're talking about top 35, top 50, top 75 players.

That's what Luca is. That's what LeBron was. That's what Jabbar was. That's what Shaq was. That's what Wilk was. That is the expectation of Luca is to win a championship in LA. Preferably, multiples.

We'll only got one, LeBron only got one. Kobe, Shaq, got three of his for Kareem got five of his six. That's what the Lakers are. They're not impressed with stats. They're really not. They want titles.

They got a few missing pieces that they want to tie. I don't. Hey, they got a few missing pieces. I don't see. I don't know what they're missing, but I'm telling you what, 10 years down the line and Luca don't have no title,

they're going to be some mad-ass fans. Hey. Yeah. Hey, they don't need to be mad at that, but you might wear a preheat your oven. You might wear a preheat your oven. I don't know. They got some dolls over there, Ocho. Hey, hey, hey, Joe, you need more than dogs.

You hit me? Well, you're going to need a couple of them. Hey, you mean, you need more than just dogs. There are a lot of breed of dogs. You hear me? They might have some Labradors, some golden retrievals. They probably got some of them, huh? They ain't got no Belgian Malo eyes, huh?

They ain't got no Cane-N-A coros over there. Yeah. They ain't got no pit bulls over there. They ain't got no great thing. Come on, man. There's a lot of different breed the dogs. Now, what type of dogs we're talking about? Hold on.

Hold on. Look, Colin Saxon, a pit bull. They got Collisaxon over there. Huh? Man, ain't anybody looking for checking for Collisexter. Come on. I'm saying, he's going to, you're talking about a spark off the bench. When we talk about the same thing,

that Mark is smart, bro. Last year, he going to be able to be comfortable to that. Are he going to play defense like that? Yeah. That boy, dog. That boy going to pick up. That boy going to pick up nice. 94 feet he ain't gonna be playing.

I think the Lakers father should have kept Marcus Mark and though. They didn't want to pay him, man. You know, man. I mean, he made it a whole lot of money. What he got a two year year 13 million from Houston? But damn, uncle, you got to pay it. Huh, go ahead.

They had to pay AR. They pay AR 200 some. Yeah, they won't. I think they are took about 20, 20 to 30 million less than what he could have got. Yeah, they got Walter Kessler, the big boy from Utah. They pay him. him. Would you want him to go out there and get a, uh, uh, a market smart to? But I think the thing is, oh, Joe, you don't have anybody that really can defend.

Right. I mean, you put Thompson and smart together. Cause look, you ain't really got a whole lot of defenders. That is like Katie is defender. He'll protect the realm a little bit from the weak side. Shingoon ain't protected nothing. If they're fleet, bless his heart, he coming off of knee injury. And he ain't a defender. But you got two defenders. in there. Yeah. You got two defenders in there and that's the thing. Okay, see, you look at okay. See, no matter who's in there, they got multiple offenders on the court at all time. The

spurs got multiple defenders on the court at all time. Who's going to fit for the Lakers? I don't know. They can't compete with them team though. Them, them, them up an echelon team, them the top team. You just named top two teams in the Western Conference. They don't have guys like that, bro. Now, what they do have is a guy, like Luca whose offense is going to be his defense. I got to go out here and get 40, 45 damn there every night. Every night. Yeah.

And that's a whole lot of pressure. But if you don't run away from them, guess what happens when the game is close? They put Austin Reeves and Luca Dodger into pick and roll. Every single, go back and look at it. Yeah. Look at what O KC did. They ain't no, as bad as LeBron might play defense,

ain't nobody called LeBron out to put his ass in the pick and roll. They put AR into pick and roll. If you go back into regular season with Luca was there, they put Luca in the picking roll. Yeah. You know why? You know why they do that Uncle Ocho? Because offensively, we know you're going to try to make up for your lack of defense. So guess what?

On the defensive end, we're not going to let your ass rest. We ain't going to let your wrist. We're going to put you in every pick and roll. You ain't got the switch, but you're going to have a hard time having a hedge and show every damn time. Because guess what? It's high and seeking. We come to find your ass every. every trip down court.

That's what they're doing. Yeah, you can't hide the corner because you don't look like to go off in to sit up in the corner. Oh no. Hey, come here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. No, no. Not you. Him. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, and reset it again. Hell, and we don't get it right in the first couple of times.

Keep resetting. Yeah. We're going to keep in the rotation. That's how you got to do. You got to do. When guys are. But I don't, I think Luke will understand. Look, look, he's, he's.

He's been the leader, ever since he's been in the league. He's been the face of a franchise. The last couple of years have been, was different to him because he's never been on the seat with someone that was more, more popular than him. Hello. A bigger name than him. Right.

Hello. So that was new to him. But now it reverts back to what he's comfortable with and what he's been used to since he was in Dallas. That goes all back now. It's his team. It is. Yes, AR is great.

and they pay AR and he's been unbelievable. He's one of my favorites. But this is Lucas team, and they're only going to go as far as Luca Carrier. You're absolutely right. And guess what? Both of those guys, Luca and AR, their usage rate, Ocho, going to be through the damn roof. Oh, yeah. My thing is, can they stay healthy throughout the regular season?

You get hurt in the Western Conference. Hey, you mess around B out the damn playing. You playing around. So, yeah, you got to stay healthy. Hey, even if they are healthy, Joe, I mean, old Joe. Even if they are healthy, Uncle Joe, you know, the West is too strong, you know, it's too top-heavy, you know, for them to even have a chance. Being that their team is not constructed, even though they have the expectations of playing in L.A., team is not constructed to compete, you know, coming out of that West, man. Not with Denver, not with the Spurs, not with, okay, man, it's not even fair, honestly.

You can think about it. To put all that, put all that pressure on goddamn Luca. You ain't got nobody to even relieve the pressure. It's like he a pimple and who's going to bust it? The lady him up out of there, you know? That's a horrible analogy, but you get what I'm trying to say. Yeah, I think the thing is, Joe, is because you said something very interesting.

Because Luca usage rate is going to be so high, look, he comes into the season in great shape. Yeah. But as the season goes, now all of a sudden, it's easy to come into the season healthy because you're not playing any games. All you doing is focusing on your evening. and now all of a sudden when you get done with a game and it's 11 o'clock and you just grab some chicken or you grab some cold cuts of pizza and you go lay you eat that and go lay your ass down that's when the hard part are you still going to lift are you still going to get your cardio in and then playing the kind of minutes that he probably going to need to play he's probably going to be 38 39 minutes easy easy oh what you mean he got man listen you're going to have to play luca as much as you can I'm

Obviously, you don't want to wear him down, you know, throughout the regular season. You want him healthy in the postseason because he hadn't been healthy in the postseason last season. So, but it's going to be tough, bro. They're going to have some challenges. You know what I mean? They're going to need some guys who are going to really have to play above their head. Luca's going to have to lead the league and scoring again for them to just be in the damn hunt. Yeah.

Yeah. So they'll probably look, Luca like to play the entire first quarter. So they'll probably take. No, swing it, Joe. Swing it, Joe. Swing it. Yeah. Joe, swing the pass.

There you go, bro. There you go. Luka liked to play the whole 12th, the first quarter. Luca liked to play the whole first quarter. So we'll probably take AR at eight minutes. Yeah. Leave him out for the rest of the quarter. First quarter.

And then bring him back to start the second while Lucas on the bench. And kind of feature him in that second unit. That way he can kind of do most of the ball handling and kind of get his, while Luke on the bench. Yeah, you're right, huh? Anthony Edwards seemed to be confused about who the superstar was in Minnesota. Let's take a listen to what Edman had to say. The narrative of the offseason was that the wolves have a short window to make their superstar happy.

Seeing what happened this off season, are you satisfied with what they gave you? And if so, why? Who to superstar me? Of course. I didn't know nothing about that. But, yeah, I'm happy. Hey, look, look, I can take the modest end. But I like, I like, I like, I like the, I like the raw and flamboyant ant.

Okay, Ocho. You know what I mean? He should have took that one and ran with it. But I get what he's saying. I get what he's saying. He took the humble route. But here, that man know he's a superstar. I mean, stop playing.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. For sure. And, look, Ann man said, look, I miss them games. And y'all kept me off the all NBA team. I'm going to make this all NBA team. and then I'm going to get that $350 million. Oh.

Man, damn, now all NBA team. Go on get their MVP, man. Go on go for the MVP. Even better. Damn. That's what I'm hurting for. Yeah. Because you know what?

It hurt guys who really, really got injured Ocho. You know what I mean? Versus some cats who they tried to take away the load management, taking games off. But there was a few guys throughout this past season, who I thought should have been in contention for some awards. But, you know, it is what it is. Anthony Edwards can sign a projected 300 plus million Supermax contract in a future offseason.

He missed the threshold because he missed. He didn't play enough games. But if he makes it, historic projection, if he qualifies to sign a supermax extension in 27, the deal is projected to be worth roughly $345 million over four years, paying him roughly $82 million a year. Get your money, man. A million dollars a game.

Hey, so they're going to give. That's Luca, huh? Nah, that's, that's, that's, that man. Oh, and. Oh, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, and he going to get that, you hear me? Oh, yeah.

All he got, all he got to do is make, if he make the all-NBA, one of them, one of them award, MVP, all-MBA. He's going to, he. Oh, well, he, he, that's solidified. That's my dog, now.

He's going to make that. You know, he's going to get that. That's what he do. That's what he do. 82 million. Oh. Hey, what is that after this season? 27.

So if you make it this year and sign the extension after next year, see, that's what you call it there, Yokic. Yeah. That's that guapo, Ocho. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, we're going to be rich. You hear me? Hey, they gop a, hey, they gop a need boy, boy.

Yeah, hey, listen. Yochich has plans to sign his five years. year, $360 million after this off after the summer of 27. Ooh. Hey, a, A, A, and. Boy, hit your boy. Hit my line, right. Huh?

What'd you need? What you need? You know, you know, this new deal will push. We decided to 360. It'll push his career earnings to 700 million. What'd you think? What'd you think? What'd you call him a new super match going to be?

If he makes one of those teams, J.T. He already on the 320. You're talking about Jason Tatum? Yeah. What's looking like Joe? What are you looking like Joe? It's going to be up there, okay, Ocho. First and foremost, you know, the Celtic Nation, they love him, bro.

He's beloved. Yes. You know, he's won a title. He's been to the finals multiple times. So he's going to probably get whatever he asked for, especially if he gets back to the Tatum to where he was, you know, first, second team, all NBA, all-star, you know, in top of the league and scoring. How are you going to, how you, how are you not going to pay him up?

Yeah. He's making 50, he'll make 58 million this year. Yeah. Hey, it's a lot different, boy. 50. And money there. Damn. But the question is, is Melo and Ant Man enough to really do some damage along with Rudy Gober.

Is that, well, I forgot about Jay McDaniel. Is that enough? Joe. I don't know. I know they're going to be fun to watch, chat. Ocho, they're going to be fun to watch. But I don't know if they got the discipline to be able to hang with some of the upper echelon teams like the San Antonio, the O KCs, the New York Knicks.

You know, it just, it's a difference going out night in and night out. Excuse me, chat. It's a difference going out night in and night out and competing at a high level winning games in the regular season. But when you play against the top teams, bro, you got to be so disciplined and limit your mistakes. Yep. And I don't know if Minnesota is ready for that jump yet. Now, they have the talent.

They have the talent because I like Camingo being over there too. Okay, Ocho. Okay. You got a bunch of tweeners and wing guys who can guard multiple positions. They got guys who can go at you offensively. So they got everything. They got Rudy Goe bear here. I don't know if he can play his greatest defense like he played on Yokers just past postseason.

but they got a big presence and they got a bunch of guys surrounding them so the sky's the limit for them man if they can stay disciplined I think they you know they got a good chance I think the thing is I would like

it I would like Minnesota better if they'd have been able to keep Knads Reed yeah if they'd have been able to keep him and bring him off the bitch Joe and now you got

now you got a guy okay you double ant man he's gonna kick it Knod knock it down yeah Lamello can knock down down the three. Both of those guys can make the three out the dribble. Now there's more of a catch and shoot guy,

which has been perfect when they try to load up to stop Ant Man or Mello. Yeah. But you had to, hey, to get Lamello, that's what Charlotte wanted, another three-point shooter to go with Brandon Miller, Cinepple, they got a nice little squad over there in Charlotte. They're going to be fun to watch. I don't know how many games they're going to win, but they'll be fun to watch. Right.

Yeah, Charlotte going to be fun to watch. going to be fun to watch and I think Minnesota is looking for the McDaniels kid, Jay McDaniels, to take another leap. Okay, Ojo. I think they're going to play him at the four spot, which is why they got rid of both of their fours and Nause-Reed and what my man went to the, uh, Julius Randall. Oh, you talk about the lefty. Yeah, your Julius Randall and Nye, Reed.

Yeah, get rid of both of them. I think they're going to put McDaniels at the at the four. And they're going to play small ball with. Rudy in the middle spread you out and just attack, bro. They're going to be solid. They're going to be solid. Yeah. See, that's what I would really like him.

So now I take Rudy out and I play Knows Reed at the Five. Now I can really play small. Now I got knockdown shooters everywhere. Yeah. Hey, they like me. Like me. Didn't catch the latest Roland Martin Unfiltered Podcast? Here's what you missed.
