Dennis Schröder is in the spotlight after being fined for allegedly hitting Luka Dončić, and JuJu Gotti and Trysta Krick are breaking down what really happened, why the league stepped in, and what it means moving forward. Was the fine justified, or is this another case of NBA star treatment? The hosts also dive into Michael Porter Jr. trade rumors, discussing why MPJ’s name keeps popping up in trade talks and which teams could realistically make a move. Is Denver reshuffling, or is this just deadline noise? Plus, we can’t ignore the viral stare down between Julius Randle and Victor Wembanyama. The moment had NBA fans buzzing — was it intimidation, respect, or just pure competitive fire?

You're an NBA player and you always go tights on socks, bro. You're weak as hell. What do you need that for? You had to be, oh, baby, it needs to be warm in his legs before the basketball game. You need to warm your light legs. Exactly, man. Breaking news, though, across the land since we and other topics a little bit, Ferrywap. My brother, Fetty Wap is free.

Salute to FettyWap being free, man. Free Fradywap into this backwards. And guess what? Fetty Wop free. congratulations my boy let's get to work wow fetti wop i honestly think juju there is almost no artist that defined my later college years than fettie wop yeah the amount of hits that he had that sounded eerily similar to one another but yet still felt individual and different and unique hard right i want you to be my mom be my

Again, baby. I know this lifestyle is driving you, crazy. Come on, Jesus. I cannot see myself without you. But yeah, bro, look, Fred a while at home, so prepare yourself to get some flames soon probably. But enjoy your family first. I don't like when the artist first come home and get right to the work.

Enjoy your family, folks that miss you, you did. So outside of that, brother, let's get to this basketball. Man, oh, man, last night, the most breaking news of, The most current thing I saw happen myself was Ant Man over Wemby for the game winner against the Spurs last night. Did you catch that one? Where do you put Ants in clutch scorers? Right now in the league, he top five and he ain't number five. I know that.

I know that for sure. So it's probably what? Number one, even though he's injured right now, because he's probably the most clutch. playoff score in the history of the game, that's Tyrese Halliburton. For sure. And then I'm going Jaylon Brunson. Then you're going Jaylon Brunson. And then you're going to say.

My boy, you feel. Then you go Yokic. Got to know. And then probably Aunt. Yeah. So maybe he is the five. I think people forgot a lot about Tyrese Halliburton. Like what we saw from Tyrese Halliburton last playoffs is like we'll never see anything like that ever again.

So you got like he may be the most clutch score in the history of all of basketball. But it's like where were you when that ball hit the back of the rim and Madison Square Guard. And for four point foot to it felt like for 10 minutes, New York celebrated. And then that bottle dropped right in the damn hole, bro. You had to be that. It's one of the things you got to tell you your children about. But speaking of that, also too, no, like to kind of run with what we were talking about earlier in your ducks, go duck bucks. Indiana having a spectacular year as a sports town.

You got Indiana starting a year off with the, Amy Halliburton, my boy, again, that game seven still is going to always live with me. And then you got Kelsey Mitchell going down from cramps in the finals against the Vegas. And then we got, they found the quarterback finally in Indiana Jones. And now here we are, the Hoosers, kicking ass.

That's one hell of a heater. And they hosted the WMBA All-Star game. Come on now. Come on. Go Indiana this year so far. What a moment for the city. What a calendar year for them. Yeah.

I think you're right. I forgot about them. My bad. So, yeah, Aunt Edwards, I think I'm going to need to see this in the playoffs. But incredible shot making that he's had a few of these game winners this season. Yeah. They're starting to figure it out.

I don't know. I was talking to a friend about this yesterday is it's really hard to build a roster juju because on one hand, the wolves were built to beat the nuggets. Yeah, they were. And not the Thunder. And we don't know who they're going to see when. And if they have to see them both, they're probably not going to the finals. So maybe you hope, of all hopes, that the Thunder can get eliminated early.

Yeah. earlier than you see them. But it's just hard to build a roster right now that you can rely on to beat every single team in the West. But they look really good right now. Play the clip. Miss Rebecca. I don't know what to do right now because he's so tall, bro.

Like, he take away everything. He takes away the layup, jump shot. And he got good feet. He can move. So, yeah, he's a wonderful kind. Yeah, man, that's Anthony Edwards on, how it feels to go up against Victor Wimbiena in the Clutch. You got the ball and you see when beyond you.

You're like, oh, damn, here we are. It's like that meme. Yeah, that's me in the video right there. Wonder how I got here type of shit. You feel, me? Like, what you thought about him in the clutch? I mean, of course he hit the shot, but like you say, for the playoffs, I think he has proved itself as much as he could.

Like you said, they was built to beat the damn nuggets. And then here come to thunder like the damn globe troders out of the whirlwind. You feel me? So I think that once they get John Morant, you feel me? Once they get another scorer over there and start playing out on games for real, then we're going to be able to talk, have a real deal conversation. Jammerant. Come on now.

That is a fascinating addition to a very exciting, athletic, powerful Minnesota Timberwolves, roster. What are you giving up? Are you giving up like, I'm keeping Jay McDaniels. I'm keeping Najee. I'm keeping, uh, Knott's Reed. I'm keeping, I'm keeping all the dogs. I'm sending back, look, Memphis, don't you love Mike Connolly Jr? ain't that shot home boy? Come on, bro, welcome home, you feel me. Terran Shannon Jr. You remember his jersey was upside down. That was cute and adorable. He can get you some points out of the bench. You feel me? Or start him. There you go. Uh, my boy, even though he's very fired, Rod Dillonian, him, you got the crossover.

His highlight tape, go crazier than most people's ever. You can go ahead and catch your little Memphis Grizzly's jersey, my brother. And you could take a third round pick from next year. Give us John Morant, man. Stop playing. Free 12. Did you say third round pick? Oh, we can go back to what we was doing.

Y'all don't bother to this. Like, we're trying to do y'all in favor. But I still like, whatever. Even if they have to give up realistically, though, if they have to give up a piece, I would prefer that peace not be Jaded McDaniels. Or Julius Randall. Julius Randall has been great for the Timberwolves. You heard what Ann said.

I was just about to give it up the Jew. That's me on a day-to-day basis on this podcast. Just give the ball to Jew. Never a bad idea. But moving on, though. Also, over the weekend in the headlines, my boy Dennis Schluter. He called a fine from the NBA. suspension for like, what, two games or so, for a confrontation attempting to strike a player.

And my boy pulled up and said, attempt in my ass, I laid hands on the boy. And we all know the boy he's talking about Luca Donchick. Did you see that one, sis? I saw the attempting to strike, but I did not see him say, no, I put mitts on him. Where is that at? We got some, we got a couple of tweets. There we go. Attempting.

Oh, big eye emoji, laughing emoji. And people who know it because the reports was already reported. Like my brother, me and El Hassan, when it first went down, he was one of the people reporting that, oh, brug got hands laid on them in the hallway. But, hey, they broke it up and it wasn't too much about nothing. But bare minimum, bro, got slout. You know what I mean? Don't quote me.

It's reckless speculation. I'm just going out the reports. Reports said, Burr got slap, you feel me? That's why Dennis Schroeder is saying attempting, yeah, right? Because what else that mean?

Even though this is a keep a real gone wrong situation, what you're doing, but you're snitching on your damn self. We know, Juju, Dennis Shruder turned down a four-year, $84 million extension. Yeah.

And that's what caused all this, because then he had to take a one-year $2.64 million deal, which I'm not a mathematician, but that's a lot more per year than $84 divided by four. By a lot. Ease up. A one tenth of it. And he even joked about himself fumbling the bag.

And so he is happy to like, Kiki about it on his own terms. But Luca, you're not about to talk about me and my pockets on the same team that you play for. There we go. I did you a favor. You wouldn't even be on this team if I would have signed that contract. Sir? What? Secondarily, that's why he put Mitz on Luca to begin with and said, I didn't attempt it. I slapped him up because he doesn't care about a fine. If he cared that much about money, he would have done the four years 84. What he cares about is respect. You're not about to disrespect me. And this happened in December, Jew. At the end of December, that's when the clip on viral. Dennis Jr., I'll see you again. Once you win the game, let's keep the game in the game.

It's just like rapping, bro. Like, if we're going to rap, you're going to talk about them and let go, bro. You want to go bar for a bar. I promise you. You do not want this work, Drake, Kendrick style. You did. But as soon as you take it from the rap bars and take it to the streets, now you start talking about my family. Like, you're crossing the line. Like, hey, man. You don't want to go there, bro. Trust me, bro. Especially with Dennis Schroeder. My boy grew up in Germany, man.

My boy grew up facing all that ridicule. I don't want to make it like this, but here we are. Here I am on the hill, on the sermon hill. Dennis Trudeau grew up in Germany, and you know what it's like being a little black kid growing up over there. Come on now. You don't face them all. You don't hurt them all. Okay, yeah.

How about how dark am I? Yeah, okay. That's a, that's a, that's a direct response or a direct conversation around the racism present within German culture. You feel me? Exactly. Because he spoke out about it. He spoke out about it when they won the Euro Cup or when he won the MVP. He was like, man, growing up over here, man, going through how I went through it.

And now being the MVP of the Euro Cup lead, man, he was like, bro. This is incredible. I'm not saying that at any point to feel sorry for Dennis Truder. I'm just saying run up, get done up if I ever heard of a person myself. You did. Come on now. It means more.

The respect and integrity of him as a man. Yeah. You're not about to talk about my pockets and also clown me on my decision making in the middle of the game. And this is late. You're a fat boy. You're late.

This is a three-year-old clown. Like, get, some new fucking material. Right, but yeah, that's what make it even worse, bro. If you're going to come at me, come at me with some humor, man. You're going to be like that to me, bro. At least be funny, bro. You come over there, old shit, bro.

You're fin to get scooped. Hey, hey, look, Luca. Hey, watch out, Luca. Matter of fact, I'm going to snap you. And that's exactly what he did after the game. Moving on, though. In the trade. Did he do anything back?

Man, come on. You know, you already know, look, the reckless speculation, but I suspect Luca probably understood where he was and he was real present with all the factors around him when that happened to him. That's all I'm going to say. Because I ain't hit nothing else.

We ain't hit nothing by Lugar Slap. Moving on, bro. We talked about the last podcast, and here we are. Michael Porter Jr. reported to be for sure definitely moved before the trade deadline. I think he thriving right now, bro.

I think my boy living life, bro. He probably got him by the boat loads right now. He probably getting out of work going straight to where he loved to go in Brooklyn. Like, he's a man right now, bro. I like him there in Brooklyn. Boy, I understand. They see that talent. How you feel about this one?

Where do you think? I think it's a smart move for Brooklyn because you're not building your franchise around Michael Porter, Jr. He is a nice piece. Okay, hold on now. Just play devil's advocate. I'm sitting at a table right now when it says convince me that Michael Porter Jr. is not worth

running a damn franchise behind. Well, first and foremost, those quotes, Ju-Ju, you can't build a franchise around somebody whose brother went to jail for manipulating markets. Okay, here we are. This is, okay.

Number two. Me, to use him. Michael Porter, Jr.? You can't. You cannot. Too far. Yelty by association. Number two, you can't have a guy who is playing Andrew Clip highlight,

Andrew Tate highlights for girls that he's thinking about dating and won't even put up half the rent. That's more like it. Number three, I think his whole spine is fused. Well, okay. See, this is what I understand about the world right here. Like, I wish more people would do this. I was wrong.

You know what I'm saying? My sister just sat here and proved me wrong. right in front of a national audience. And you know what? I admit it. You're right, sis. Damn it, what was I thinking? You might be right, but they're saying that they're going to trade or they're one of the

trade destinations. I have one more. Okay, here we go. Here we go. He also has a brace on his leg that they give the victims from strokes to teach them how to walk again. And he has to wear that every single NBA game. No, it's like when you already getting jumped in the club, now here kind of brother

with the Timberlands like, okay, brother, I get it. I'm jumped. I'm kicked. My ass is kicked. What else do you want from me? But yeah, bro, they're saying that he might be traded. One of the destinations is the Warriors. Now, insert him on them Warriors team.

What do you think of, I mean, what are we talking about then for the Warriors' chances? I kind of like that, Juju, because as a third piece, he's really good. As a third piece, he's a second, well, fourth piece, but he can be a third piece, depending on how his health is. He is a really good shooter. And what we're seeing for him in Brooklyn, like all jokes aside, is he's become a good creator. He's able on the ball to get other guys involved. And at his size at 610, to be able to be a 40% pure shooter off the dribble and off the catch, to make decisions like he's never really had the ability to show.

showcase those skills because he played with Joker and he played with Jamal Murray. Now you almost get a new look at what he's able to do, which really is helpful when Steph plays off the ball as much as he does. He going so crazy that I'm like, damn, I like this version of him. But at the same time, you're right, bro. This can't be his ultimate destination as far as him as a hooper, especially in his mindset, unless he got a whole bunch of help on the way to Brooklyn or he just liked to be in this man, right? here like not concerned with winning. I don't think that of my boy, no matter who his brother is, my sister. Moving on, Anthony Davis is hurt again.

Mr. Glass, Mr. Bandages, Mr. Knee Rap, Mr. Fetty Kneewap, Mr. Ankle, Mr. Three to Six Weeks, Mr. Headband, Mr. Unibrow, Mr. Hey, what he got? A baby fro now? Mr. Kareem, I'll do with your bar looking ass.

He doesn't get enough hate for that baby, fro. To be honest, it's terrible. There's enough to talk about where you don't need. We can hang on it. So bad, yeah.

Like the goggles don't get enough hate. The baby fro that's not lined up right, doesn't get enough hate. and because the goggles are on his face now, the eyebrows don't get enough hate. Is that him in a fragili box full of peanuts? Exactly. They put that boy in packing peanuts, boy,

and some saran route. I said, but that boy out again, fragile. Bro, imagine Anthony David bow-head, though, right now looking at this picture. Imagine him, bow-haired with no headband, no beard. That's Kareem-Ura. I promise the guy.

Like, what looks? Just like the cat. out then, bro. He does. Didn't they show, Mr. Rebecca, scroll up, they showed all of his injuries above that? Yeah, bro.

This year, this year, abdomen injury, adductor injury, eye injury, thigh injury, groin injury, schmoin injury,

Achilles injury, leg injury, legion injury, it's only 30 games into the season. Br, Anthony Davis, get ready to learn Atlanta Hockenies,

because this shit's over with, bro. Like, I was wrong. I thought they was going to try to build and have some hope. I love Kyrie Irvin. That's my dog. But this, this ain't looking, like, I'm shipping him away from, for Richardshire, bro.

Give me a refresher. Yeah, you're not getting Reicher. You're not getting Reicher. I can't get Reischersher with AD now. I've traded at Luca Duntis for AD and I can't get richards. That's messed up, that's for, bro.

Hell no, bro. Y'all got to give me a rich or something, bro. Come on, please. Help me, please, man. Please. Atlanta, please. Listen, help me, please. Come on.

Help me, please. No, you are broken. He's out the rest of the year and he wants an extension. I'm going to need something else, like a second round pick. I'll give you a C.J. McCollum. No, hell, no. You can't even start a bidding there. That's unfair, right?

Start over, bro. I'll give you. I'll give you Clint Capella and C.J. McCollum. That's disrespectful, bro. For AD, that's still AD. He's going to gear. Look, this is what you got to do.

If you're a team out there and you're watching this, listen to here. This is what you do with AD. You get AD on your team and you sit his ass down all season long. I'm talking about you pull them out

for the Christmas games, the St. Patrick's Day uniforms, and you put them out at the All-Star weekend. Other than that, that, bro, pull up on us in the playoffs. Imagine Anthony Davis' whole energy going towards one playoff run. I promise.

He don't even need to practice all year. Just come over here, bro. Play for the Celsius. We'll give you Chris Das, Porzingis back like a bad penny. Oh, man. And we'll give you CJ McCollum. And you can tank your way into hopefully A.J. DeBanza. But we don't want.

Here's the thing. I don't even want AD for that because I'm not paying him. He's always in street clothes. He is bones of glass, paper, skin of paper. Unfortunately, you're right, bro. The besmircher wins

again. Miss Rebecca, let's go to boy stop, man. Damn. AD is a walking boy stop, by the way. Right, bro, with them down, tights, bro. Weston regular, stop wearing the tights, He's been wearing tights for eight years.

He doesn't get enough hate for the tights either, I feel like tights is weak as hell. If you're an NBA player and you always go tights on socks, bro, you're weak as hell, bro. What do you need that for? You had to be, oh, baby, it needs to be warm in his legs before the basketball game. You need to warm your light legs up. You got a little ones.

Exactly, man. He looks like you wearing stockings, bro. You look like a ballerina, bro. I'm going to be, I'm going to just be honest with you, man. You look like a down ballerander, bro. My bad, Mr. What we got? Is Randall Wendy stare down?

Yes, sir. Bro, look how Randall looking at his ass. Looking him up and down. Br, get your hained ass away from me, man. Yo. Hey, bro. Hey, man, somebody. Hey, y'all can get your home, boy, man.

He keeps looking at me crazy, bro. The hell wrong with you is Julius Randall. You know, I miss with you. What's you looking at this man up and down like that far, bro? You look like your hain' man. Juju, have you seen the show Mayor of Kingstown? Oh, yeah. You got to know.

And that finale, spoiler alert, that finale, please. Crazy. Why is Julius Randall licking his god dang lips and putting his hands together like that? He is not just looking at Wembe like he wants to take. a shiv made out of a bit pen but he's also looking like he thinks Wemby's a bit of a snack as well

Exactly bro I'm Wemby I don't know What's coming from this side of the room But you need to get off it right now Brough I'm fin to go in your shit That's all I know Play that clip again Let's like let's walk through this frame

We're breaking the barrier today, but hell now. We can't let fresh meat ride, bro. Hey. I'm sorry, bro. Flag on fresh meat. Hey, I said, I didn't say fresh meat. I said French meat. French meat is it?

Bro, that's seen worse. Come on, bro. Somehow you made it worse. I thought it was fresh, too. French meat's amazing. Br, French made no damn amazing. French meat is like the big. biggest timeout I've ever heard in my entire life.

But Julius Randall is looking just like that, though, bro. He looked like he sees some French M. I'm like, why are you kidding? Look at this brother eye, bro. Hell now, bro. Look at this brother eyes, bro. Hell now, bro. You look like a Satan spawn.

The more you look at it, the crazier it looks, Jude. If this was a picture on the while, the eyes removed, bro. The hell you got going on, man. But Julius Randall, boy, stop now. Gunned tech. Boy, stop. The crazy thing, though, and I know we're moving on, the crazy thing is he thinks he's doing something like he's intimidating Wembe. Exactly.

Like, he's the OG in the prison yard. And really, like, you look like the one that's like. Yeah. It looks like a heated. Eyeballing him. A heated rivalries, what I was going to say. It looks, yeah, it's looking a little, it's looking a little heated. rivalry right now.

Brother think he looked like Birdman and Gator Boots with the pumped-out Gucci suit. But hell no, you looking just like like that they said. It's looking like if we pan down, we can see them like touching shoes. Moving on, man. What we got next, right? This is, I believe, during the NHL game, the peewees are playing. And I think we're, let's roll this. It's going to be self-explanatory.
