So is Draymond Green just kind of like ruin the rest of Steph Curry's Prime?
Is that where we're at?
He already did it.
He already did.
The damage is done.
It's open.
The name was the death blow of the dynasty?
It's been the death blow.
Today we have today at all.
It all fell down.
Yeah.
What's up y'all?
As you see by the title, today we're going to be rebuilding some of the worst teams in the NBA.
And originally when we decided to do this a couple days ago, we were thinking like, let's talk about what the bull's got to do with a rap.
maybe the hawks if we're going to pile on to mow all that but then draymond green decided to
mollywap use of nurkich and today get himself suspended indefinitely which as we just said seems
like the death blow to the warrior's dynasty we all thought this would be the last dance and now it's
even crazy than we ever expected so we're going to rebuild them as well yeah we are literally 24
not even 24 hours fresh off of draymond green trying to knock us of nuris top off and
And this news just happened quite literally two, three hours before we press record.
You know what I'm saying?
So this affects a lot.
And what better timing it is to just figure out how we're going to rebuild what Dremont seemingly destroyed.
I love being dramatic.
Yeah, he's definitely helping.
But there's a lot bigger problems that to do the Warriors that we talked about at nauseam over the past few weeks.
That let's lay it all on the table.
Let's talk about the Golden State Warriors in depth.
The cranium is crazy
Oh my god
I mean I don't know
What to say
Pray on eaters
Rejoice
Man that brother needs help
That was the best thing to come out of this
Yeah
Nerkich was just like
Man I don't know
I get it
Eadies therapy
Straight up
It wasn't even like therapy, though.
It was just like, help.
Like, I don't know.
Like, it wasn't even like, hey, we're going to get you a doctor, right?
We're going to get you somebody that you could talk to.
It's just, hey, you got problems at home.
Figure it out.
Like, I was going to know.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I'm sure he doesn't want to be on the opposing end of that again.
The funniest part was in that same postconference that he said that.
He also was like, thank God he didn't choke me.
And it's just so funny.
after that he said all that
when Rudy Gobert did get choked
he was over there talking about
you just didn't want to play
without your guy's staff you're running
it seems like collectively
the NBA is just
far less respectful
of Jeremy on Green than they were in the past
it's like all his chirping
finally caught up to him
and everyone's just like sick of it
because they're not winning like they used to
he's no longer this like big dog
that can save whatever he wants
because he's one of the most important parts
of a dynasty
now he's just an asshole
yeah
yeah he's a clown
Yeah, exactly. All this in the last 12 months, we witnessed him punch the shit out of his teammates in the playoffs. Stomp on someone's chest literally three, four weeks ago, put Rudy Gober in a chokehold. And now he's after another center swinging on somebody. And like at a certain point in time, and it seems like we've gone to this time to where we have to have a serious conversation that we're having about Draymond, who he has started to begin.
come as a player.
There's ongoing memes about him being just overly aggressive at random times and his
body just losing absolute control.
But now it's up to the point to where you're literally sabotaging the future of your
team.
Yeah.
The part that bothers me is like he's a smart guy clearly, right?
Like overall, he's clearly an intelligent dude.
It shows in his play.
It shows in everything else about him.
He's not an idiot.
But he treats us like we're idiots regarding all this.
Like, he said at the end, I was trying to sell the foul, I was trying to sell the foul, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You watch it, he gets touched in the back.
His jersey pulled ever so slightly, the most regular NBA defense you can imagine.
And he spins around like a Bayblade and backhands Nurkich.
Like, the way he shows to sell it and play it off like it's some natural movement,
it's just like insulting to the intelligence of everybody.
Because it's like, everybody besides him understands that he looks like an idiot
trying to pretend he's not just hitting somebody.
Here's the thing, though.
I don't think that he, I don't think that he thinks that he's lying to us.
us. Like, I don't think that she thinks that he is, like, telling some story, right? Because if you
look, if you look at all the incidents, right, the Stephen Adams one, all these like flailing
ones where he ends up hitting somebody, he kind of has the same explanation every time. So I think
in his mind, he's like, oh, I'm just doing this, right? But we're all looking at it. So, like,
I understand what he's saying. And I don't think that he's lying. But at the same time, I don't
believe him because he clearly is lying because like he you're just too reckless to be doing this
over an eight year span literally since 2015 2016 you have hit somebody all out of pure
recklessness every single year because you can't control your body as an NBA player
so he's lying he knows what he's doing I'm not I'm not even going to try and be diplomatic
than you are he knows exactly what he's doing we've all played with people that are over the
aggressive and they're like oh my bad especially playing like you know football the things
play football basketball football players there's always that one person that like throws a shoulder
and they're just like my bad blah blah blah that's raymond green he knows exactly what he's doing
and just plays it off every time this man just it seems like these days it's frustration right
this bitch is hilarious it's true as fuck i need him on w w monday night rye as soon as possible
yeah do you guys feel like part of it is like you know it's always been a thing right
I mentioned that he's always been this guy, but before he was co-leading a dynasty so
like he could get away with it to some degree whenever you're the top of your game,
like you can, you have more leeway for bullshit.
Do you feel like part of the increased acts of violence the past 16 months is because
the Warriors are just like not winning and because he's just not who he used to be?
What every NBA player says is winning solves everything, everybody's happy, go lucky,
and you don't have a care in the world about anything else.
when you're winning and the second that you you have a couple else on your schedule you know
like that's when reality starts to set in and everybody's like pointing at everybody else
for their own internal for their whatever internal issues and so like at this point in time
the vibes just seem atrocious over there for the warriors and for someone it's especially
like it's an amplified painful feeling it's loud as hell when it's like supposed to be the
voice and the leader of your two. Yeah, exactly. Dremont Green. And that hits, that hits so hard
in the soul, bro. And it's a thousand percent his fault too. The vibes are wrecked from the start
because of him. That's the crazy part. It's not even just like he's a part of the issue or he's not
helping the issue. He is the issue entirely. Like their vibes were amazing in 2022 and they won
the title. Wiggins was popping. Jordan Poole was a third splash bro. Stefan Dremont and Clay were
winning just like they always have been. And then he punched Jordan Poole. And
And for the lack of a better word, there was a vibe shift.
It all goes back to him and it's been downhill since.
Man, Jordan Poole shouldn't have been talking though.
Like, listen, Jordan Poole wasn't acting like some, you know, like some divo who had just made it.
Maybe the dynasty would have still been together.
Now, I'm not the excusing Dremont for punching the teammate.
You can't do that, right?
But let's not act like Jordan Poole wasn't out here chirping.
But also at the same time.
With whatever Jordan Poole said, allegedly he said, you're an expensive backpack.
Pack for 30.
It wasn't necessarily wrong.
You know what I'm saying?
Should he have said it?
I'm not,
I'm not agreeing to him.
But was he wrong?
Probably not.
Man,
you know,
Dremont said some horrendous shit back.
They're always talking shit,
I'm sure.
Just because he struck a nerve one time,
doesn't mean Dremont can knock him
the fuck out and ruin the team.
Exactly.
And with all this being said,
Dremon Green just loses a lot of,
like,
credibility and validity as a leader in voice
in that locker room
because you're out here doing the most reckless shit, literally doing the most detrimental
shit to the team, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, 100%.
And I feel like a lot of his leadership cachet comes from the fact that he's Curry's guy, clearly.
Curry wants him and Clay around him.
That's a nucleus.
Curry trusts them and they're his guys.
I'm sure Curry defers to him a little bit as a leader because, you know, he's this
lot of personality, not necessarily who Curry is and he understands the value of that.
If he keeps doing this at a certain point, how much is Curry going to sit here and deal with?
we've known for years that someone like lebron has like demanded his team put them in the best
situation to succeed curries never need to move like that because they've had everything is that
going to maintain is he just going to sit here and deal with this guy doing this stuff he's suspended
for probably another 10 games at least like when does that goodwill end it ends now it it ends now
i think that like and even even like lebron in his tenure he's never had a teammate be this reckless
and how they move.
Like, he's had people who suck.
And, like, that's easily fixable, right?
You go upstairs and say, hey, listen, have the lock and cleaned out by 8 a.m.
We're going to ship me this way.
Like, we can do that.
Steph, on the other hand, like, you are actively, we're already down several players, right?
Clay is washed up.
Wiggins is playing, like, bust Andrew Wiggins again.
Dremont, I need you to at least play 35 minutes a night.
And you are out here knocking people out every day.
two weeks. Like, we can't do this. And the meme that's been, that was going around for LeBron for
the last two years when he started getting old, it's like, I'm 36. That's Steph Curry now.
Steph Curry's 35 years old. And he's looking around like, this is my last opportunity to actually
win titles. And you are out here messing it up. I'm 36. Stop playing with me and my legacy and my
title chances. Like, it ends now. That's what annoys me the most. Like, we're seeing an anomaly
like we saw with LeBron James
still being elite at this age.
LeBron won
Finals MVP at 35 with the Lakers.
Curry's still good enough to do that.
It's so rare that we're going to see
a player be this good this late in their career
and just seeing it be wasted by
not only Dremont, the entire team.
You mentioned Andrew Wiggins is back to being
Buss Wiggins. You're putting it politely.
That motherfuckerucker is bad at everything he was good
at now. Everything that made him valuable
in 2022 is just the opposite. He's bad at
all of it. I guess we can
transition enough from Dremont Slander
to, like, talk about this team at large
and, like, how Dremont's issues relate to everything else.
But they have serious issues.
And listen, they're two and a half games outside the 10 seed
as the current 11 seed.
I don't know if they had the juice
to come back and get into this playing race.
Man, it's not looking good for them at all.
And at the start of the season,
we were all trying to figure out,
we all knew how good the Western Conference was this year.
There was no room for any BS.
Every team needed to be on their toes.
You know what I'm saying?
And my team was the Mavs.
I forget which team.
you guys had picking out. Maybe you had the Warriors, Isaac, not 110% sure. But regardless of the
fact, the Warriors are that team. They're clearly several sets behind. And you have to start looking
at every option possible. Everything has to be on the table when it comes to figuring out what
needs to be done. And a couple weeks ago, I was like, yo, like, Steph Curry is still playing. He's
playing as if he can be a top three player in the NBA or at least, very least top five player in
NBA for the next two to three years and we're talking about a top in my opinion 10 player ever
here you have to do whatever it whatever it takes to put the best team around them to get you
to get you guys another championship because you're never going to see another player like him
ever again it doesn't matter so what does it take are we at the point now where we know they're
not trading clay they're probably not trading draymond because curry wants them there are we at the
point where that is what it takes like do you feel like he has to look in the mirror and like say
we got to change something up like how it has to be a trade right yes it it has to be a trade and
like draymond draymond's locked in and i think that the first two things that you have to do is
get draymond out in there and get clay out of there obviously clay's not going anywhere
he's not going anywhere during the season right so this is like an option option thing you'll
offer him whatever whatever's possible but he can't get what he wants because you
You kind of need him out of there.
So apparently, that's kind of work.
According to Woolwich earlier today, he tweeted that the Golden State Warriors offered him like a two-year, $48 million contract, and dude didn't accept that.
And so obviously he's looking for more money.
And I generally don't think he deserves that.
And I'm fond of the warriors.
I would throw heavy hesitancy to do that.
And so with that being said, again, I know as much as people hate to even think of this happening.
if Clay Thompson wears another jersey something must be going on with the universe the
world exploded it's fake matrix is broken you know what I'm saying but it it needs to happen
it needs to happen and I'm looking at him before I look at something like Draymond because
I regardless of the on other on-court stuff that he's been doing the random physical activities
he's been absolutely hooping this year yeah he's been hooping this year but that's the
annoying part that's the annoying part he's still so good and like still is
close to what he was in 2022
if not exactly the same. And it's so frustrating
because I spent a lot of time
arguing on behalf of Draymond Green over
the years. I'm sure Donovan can attest to it
over the years in college, over the years online
in all content creation forms.
I've been a pro-Dremon
for years. I've always argued he's better
than Clay always has been, like one of the
best defenders of a generation, maybe even of all
time. And he's made me
not like him.
Via acts of physical violence.
It's like the the act is just getting old.
Yeah, it's old.
I think that like, it's tough.
But you come to a point in every dynasty where like people go,
their separate ways.
And whether that comes by like trade or even by like retirement,
it even happened with the Spurs.
Like Tony Parker ends his career in Charlotte, right?
There just comes a time where it sucks,
but like that's pro sport.
And so you're not always going to get to retire at the top with your guys with that same court.
Because if that's the case, then you guys will be winning championships all the time.
But I think with Dremont, the leadership aspect that we talked about earlier was 100% correct.
Like his his credibility as a leader has obviously been diminished.
But if he is not able to play a month of basketball straight without one of these things happening,
then that is a legitimate problem.
And if you have Clay Thompson, who at this point is, I'm going to say it, at this point
non-shooter, Andrew Wiggins, non-shooter.
Oh, no, he shouldn't be shooting better lately, to be fair.
Like, or the last, like, 10 games, he's close to 40%.
Listen, I saw this man last night throwing up threes, hitting the side of the backboard, nothing,
no rim, no rim, he's a non-shooter.
No, Andrew Wiggins, non-shooter.
Kavan Looney, non-shooter.
Draymond Green non-suter.
You have four of your five players in your starting lineup of the Golden State Warriors
looking like the Detroit Pistons with the amount of spacing and actual shooting threat that you have.
A change has to be made.
He has too much money on the books.
He's too costly right now.
Everybody looked the other way when he lost them in the finals because they went and got Kevin the rent.
You almost lost the finals again because you were out here chirping on the podcast every two days, all that type of stuff.
your time has come right you've done doing too much you're doing too much you only have so much
goodwill you can burn from all parties involved including your teammates and coaching staff like
i can't imagine as good vibes with that whole team in there you know their GM left last year
first year GM has to make some tough decisions it's got to be a nightmare in that building
i guess we can transition this a little bit we talked at length about like they're fucked right
i guess we can go towards what the title indicates and talk about how they rebuild this what
they should do. Let's put together some moves and try to put together a version of the
Warriors. Let's call it at the deadline if they were to make these moves that could potentially
contend around stuff. Personally, I feel like that starts with benching Clay and starting Moses
Moody. Does that make sense? Yes. That's fine. Yeah, I like that. I like we're well past
that. These young guys have to start, right? Yeah, 100%. Absolutely.
Yeah. Clay needs to be addressed first. When it comes to pecking order, like, I'm sorry,
I, we're going to what do you think of Jeremiah, I think he needs to remain starting up.
There's no situation scenario where, you know what I'm saying?
He's being dealt for your contract, still good, 40% from three this year, whatever.
He's solid.
Clay needs to be addressed and the Wiggins needs to be addressed.
And when it comes to rebuilding, yeah, I agree with that, Isaac.
That's like the most keep the peace way thing or keep the peace type thing to do.
I think Clay Thompson, I think Steve Kerr and Clay Thompson, yeah, I think in a post-game conference,
He said something about possibly bringing someone off the bench and ruffling up that starting
lineup or whatever.
And Clay's probably the guy to do that.
You know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, I agree with that.
Another thing you can do, in my opinion, hey, put that man up for sale if he doesn't want
to agree to that.
Yeah, but what are they going to get for a $43 million expiring contract that for a guy
who isn't good enough to be on the team that fits him most?
You know, like, who's jumping for joy to acquire expiring Clay Thompson and give up anything
of value that'll make the Warriors better this year?
a team that's in a similar is situation and predicament
expiring contract for expiring contracts
makes sense in my mind and the specific team that I'm looking at
it's a team like the torn wrappers
yep what are they gonna do with clay
like they're fantastic alongside scotty barnes it's not like
you want you want him pairing him you want it's not like you want
this long-term duo to be a carrier feature whatever
it's just like he's helping scottie barnes get his
reps in and learn how to develop extra as a playmaker with all that space. And that's
that's the value I see with the Raptors, but no one cares about the rats right now. We'll
talk about them later. More so for the, um, more so for the Warriors. I think if the Raptors
traded Pascal Siakum for the corpse of Clay Thompson, there would be massive violence in Toronto
across the city. Well, hold on. Not also for the corpse of Clay Thompson. They'd have to
tack on something else. Um, though again, I, the Warriors have every single pick.
that they every single pick that they have is theirs you know what I'm saying
they don't own anybody anything and I think they could make this work I think they can
make this way now there's a oh they owe 2024 that's the only one oh really too I think to
Portland I think is it's it's a lottery protected is it lottery protected yeah it can be
zoom in a little bit yeah it's protected top four so they're not going to get top four picks
so Portland you're getting that first round pick this year congratulations
but yeah
okay let's start from the top
I think it involves benching clay at least
we can talk about if there's a trade out there for him
the most obvious trade that
actually makes sense I think
undoubtedly is trading Chris Paul's contract
along with draft capital
maybe John the Cominga if there's a really
enticing piece
who would y'all want to see that package we dealt for
I mean that you if you are doing that
you're going to have to get either
like the perfect role player
which at this point I guess everybody's
dream role players, O.G. And so it would either be that or you would have to go
Star Hunting. At the beginning of the year, I would have thought that Cat would have been one
of the people that we could kind of target. But now that the Timor was a rolling, they're probably
off that a little bit. Yeah, he's not available. Yeah. So I guess it's O.G. It's Pascal.
I was trying to think of other like big name forwards that could kind of like fit with them.
Like how much do you believe in in Kyle Kuzma coming in? It's just.
I would like that.
I would like that a lot, actually.
Yeah.
Those are the kinds of names.
I just don't think that there's a big move for them at the deadline that legitimately
sky rockets their chances to win a title right now.
Yeah, Sky Rockets isn't happening, but there has to be a move made.
They're not going to sit on their hands.
And I, do you all agree Chris Paul's probably the one that's easiest to trade?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
He's the easiest, but also the hardest at the same time because he has a fat-ass contract.
It's expiring.
Yeah, you're right.
It's expiring, but just making it work on the books to get that transaction through.
It's going to do, you have to, you're going to have to do some mad calculations.
Do you like Siakum there?
Let's ask that question first.
Let's go, let's go real estate target by real estate target.
Do you even like the fit of Seaccombe with Dremon Green?
Because Dramon is four years left.
He's not going nowhere.
It's not what I do like it.
I do like it.
I think if I've seen what it looks like with Dremon and Kavan Looney and the fact that you can
have somebody else out there.
who can create their own offense and who can still like who can space the floor at least more
than kubon can that that's that's kind of encouraging so i would i would like it and it would be a
massive upgrade and talent um so that would right now that's the that's a number one move in my
mind for them to make okay is to go get past go do you agree do we want to start there with that being
the first trade personally yeah i don't i'm not sure if i love the move but the warriors have to do
something. Pascal Seyakum's not a center, so it'll be kind of interested to see how you try to
force him or Dremont to be that full time. You know, Dremont would be a better, yeah. Yeah, exactly.
So I like it a lot better than what they already have. Anything. All right. Nikiel, let's pull
the trade machine. Let's figure out how to make this work. This is going to be the first step of our
Warriors rebuild. We're getting Pascal Seaccom on the Warriors. Let's figure out a way that makes sense for
both sides. Obviously, it involves Chris Paul being the celery filler.
Pascal Siakum's expiring.
There's going to be bidders of the deadline.
Is two first-on-picks enough?
Yeah.
It depends on...
That's fine.
Masai Ujiri took his meds that day.
If you were the Raptors, would you take Chris Paul and two first-on picks for Pascal
Seacom?
I think that's an enticing trade because it depends on how deep those first-arm picks are, first-and-fakes are, first-and-farmes.
But regards to the fact, yes, because the warriors are very clearly on the last stages of their
era and yeah for me they can't trade 2024 so it'll be 2026 and 2028 as the two picks traded
you should do this in a heartbeat because that's at that time curry would be what 38 39
pushing 40 yeah unikil you put a second round pick for 2026 and you remove those two and put the first
round pick for 2026 and the first on pick for 2028 yeah that gets us to 30 million from the
warriors and 37 million from the raptors is it
The second apron thing isn't already a thing, right?
So can this be pushed through?
Let's try it.
With this year, I think it can.
It cannot.
Because the Warriors cannot complete this trade.
They are an apron team.
Okay, so we need some more money.
Are you willing to send away Jonathan Camingo as well?
Yeah.
I do that in heartbeat.
There's no way you can have someone like Draymond, Pascal,
and Camingo on the same team,
three player, three big forwards who are,
you know what I'm saying, for the most part,
non-shooters.
Even though Pascal can shoot genuinely, he's just not having a great year.
Yeah, I would be more than happy than throwing, for throwing coming into this.
We don't have to, though.
We could also do the salary of Gary Payton.
Do you think it takes two firsts on picks and Camingo for Siakum?
Probably, probably, just because there's still a little bit of untapped potential with
Kaminga.
I think that you know kind of exactly what you're getting with Gary Payton.
And if you're starting over, like if you're the Raptors and you make,
this deal you're clearly saying I'm starting over and so you would get the money off the books
you have the two first on picks in four years or I guess in two years and then in four years
let me get something that I can work with right now and see if I can turn into something so I think
coming it has to be a part of this deal okay well so coming it has to be a part do we try to take away
one of the first round picks or at protections like it's it's a lot right it's Messiah though
and he is going to ask for a lot if the word on the street with that
that he was asking for four first round picks for OG,
he's going to ask for two for Pascal,
whether they like him or not.
That's just going to be the price.
I think that's great value either way.
All right.
Nikiel, try the trade.
It looks at this is going to be the first round pick.
Two first round picks.
Then granted, these are the only first round picks they have to trade.
So are you guys really comfortable with Siakum being your all-in-draft capital move?
Yeah.
I'm comfortable.
This is the best deal that you are going to.
going to get what other star out there is available i don't know maybe he's not a star though maybe
you're just going for role players that fit i doesn't necessarily have to be a star you have to get a
second if if draymond is going to be this volatile and you don't know on a night to night basis
in a playoff series like is he going to be able to play six to seven games every single series
i need to have somebody else on my team who i can count on and if clay's not going to be the
guy, then Siakum has to be it.
And you need, like, actual all-star star talent.
What makes, yeah, what makes, like, these entire trade discussions a little bit more
complicated in my head is that a lot of teams don't appear to be selling.
And every team in the NBA, outside of maybe like four or five, aren't, are like seriously
trying to compete or contend for something.
And the teams that will be selling soon, they haven't shown their cards or just.
just yet. And so as we speak right now, yes, I think this is the best move possible. And
with that being said, you walk away with this happy. Although Pascal Seatham is a free agent,
obviously you don't want to do this without having side conversation, DMs, or meet them at
whatever, speak easy. It doesn't matter. You have to secure your future. Let them walk away for no
reason or for nothing. So I'd be happy with that. All right. Question, question for you. Would you
would you make a run
at Lowry marketing
if you're the Warriors
see we can't now
we go
well yeah not now
not now but just like
in the grand scheme of things
if it if it was on the table
of like
should we go after Pascal
should we make an offer
to Utah for Lowry
how do you guys think
that that would fit
because that's been a name
where I'm like
Utah low key can be sellers
at the deadline
get some more picks
like Keante George looks really good
Walker Kessler
is good like
they're not contrary Lowry
Larry is their guy
he's their cornerstone
franchise player. I think people want him to
be traded. That's why it's a discussion. I don't
really see why they would. You think he's a franchise
player? Yeah, I think that's a straight. Like untouchable
franchise player. I mean, not, I'm not
saying he's Shaggildos Alexander, but
you're in their situation and you found
an all-star. He's legitimately a great player.
Why would you not use it as a foundation?
You know, like they're trying to win. They're like,
yeah, this is what gets on.
He's young. He's young and he's
great. He was drafted in 2016
or 2016. He's been in
for like eight years. Yeah. He's
26 years old. He's in his praise the beginning of his prime.
That's a young star.
You know what this is?
This is like two years ago and everybody wanted them to trade Shea because they're so young and rebuilding.
And people were like, he doesn't fit your timeline of a Josh Giddy or whoever.
But they have an all star in the building.
That's a player you make these trades to try and find.
I don't know why they would get rid of him as soon as they found him and like nurtured that star.
For me personally, I love Larry Martin.
The only reason why I'd consider giving him away is because of the assets I know.
that I could get for him.
And although, like, yeah, like,
Laurie could be a cornerstone piece
and he's a legit all-star caliber player.
We literally saw him become an all-star last year.
Me personally, if the right team gave me that,
gave me an offer,
do me, say, three first-shan picks.
I am definitely listening.
I am definitely listening.
Exactly.
Everybody wants to talk about Sam Presti and the Thunder
getting all these assets.
Who do you think did it first?
Who do you think what was about this life
about accumulating all these draftings?
Danny Ainsh,
Danny Ains would do anything for a first-round graphic, okay?
And if the Warriors came calling,
I think they would listen.
Yeah, but with that being said,
I don't think the Warriors have deep enough pockets
or even should consider trying to trade for Larry Mark.
And that's why I wasn't the first thing out in my head.
And actually, I think, yeah, like, Lari's probably,
he's definitely obviously a better fit.
He's one of the best big man shooter in the NBA right now,
but that would cost him a pretty penny,
and that's not worth the investment at all.
Okay.
Okay, so let's go through the Seyakum trade.
Now we're looking at a lineup of Curry at point guard,
Seaccombe at power forward, and Draymond at center.
And that leaves us still with Clay at shooting guard
and Wiggins at small forward.
Which do you want to bench Clay?
Is that the move or do you guys want to try and want to trade for him?
No, let's bench him for right now.
If we're doing stuff in season, trading clay would ruin any hope of good vibes
that you already had.
Yeah.
But at the same time, while you see that,
your vibes will be even worse once next year starts
and you're paying him $30, $35 million a year that he's going to demand.
Call Iguodal.
Call Andre Aguadala.
Get another adult in the room and be like, listen, I went to the bench, right?
My career worked out pretty well.
Clay, listen, we guys, like, you got to do it for the squad.
Get Igwe dollar back in the building.
That's honestly what they need.
They don't have OG.
How do you guys about Wiggins?
So obviously now we have Wiggins left here.
That's currently going to be the small forward.
There's no more first-on-picks left, only pick swaps.
Do we want to try and trade him for another piece that isn't playing like Dogwater?
Or stick with him and write it out.
Hope he can get back to 2022 for him.
Trade his ass away.
Oh, okay.
Immediately.
Don't get for a chance.
We're not on the same page.
Not at all.
We got to lock in.
Why?
Okay.
So why are we training Wiggins?
bro okay first and foremost trade wiggins for better spacing that's what i'm thinking about
of having siacum seacum and draymond and wiggins two of them could easily have an off nine
they're not naturally shooters they're made their offensive game specifically siacum and wiggins
they apply a lot of pressure on the room for the most part wiggins has a bag and you can do other
things also but i want to get another natural shooter who gives steph and siacum
more than enough room to breathe.
Well, who's available that fits that mold then?
It's not about who's available.
Who's a better, I'd start Clay
and I would look for a solid role player
coming off the bench.
All right, like who are we looking at
with the Wiggins straight?
Because Wiggins, in theory, good defensive wing.
That's an incredibly viable and hard to come by.
So who are we seeing out there that's going to be a better fit
that makes sense to get rid of that asset?
I don't know that's why I just think like the upside of Wiggins is so high that I think if you trade him
I don't I don't think you're going to be able to get equal value especially like be able to
still keep a core that is very very competitive right now I think you're going to have to
give up too much especially considering that we just got off with two first round picks
and traded Chris Paul like all of your moves were to get Siakum
At this point, it is what it is.
You just have to ride out with whatever you got.
I don't think you can trade Wiggins.
Yeah.
It's also just tough because you don't have any picks left.
Exactly.
You went all in.
Unless you're going to get rid of Moody, too, and keep Clay in the starting lineup,
then the team gets real thin.
No, yeah.
We can't get rid of Moody.
That's impossible.
All right.
Andrew Wiggins, congratulations.
You can stay in San Francisco.
You don't have to go anywhere.
His key card is valid for another season.
Yeah, it's still.
So now we're looking at a team that has
Curry, Moody, Wiggins, Seacum, and Draymond.
The bench has Clay, Sarich, GP2, pods,
and who else am I thinking of that would be on the bench?
Oh, Corey Joseph.
I said Sarich.
Oh, cool.
Corey Joseph, and I guess that's the main rotation.
Oh, and Looney.
That's what I was thinking of.
So, question for you guys.
What is the goal of this rebuilt?
do you have to win a championship or give him the best chance to win a championship yes
two different things in my opinion how do you mean yeah what does that mean if you want to
give him the best chance to win a championship then you're satisfied with this lineup if you want to
win a championship genuinely then you literally sell everything you did you do something like
what the los angeles clippers did and just empty the clip you don't give a fuck about any clip any picks
for the future and we just did don't we have like two left over picks no i know we know we're
no i mean okay i think i guess in your in your scenario we get off of the pick swaps as well
and you make another move with those but like if you don't have like who are you going to go
and get that's that's the big question is that if we don't have a name in mind about who's who we're
going to trade wiggins and trade these pick swaps for and see who can fix that hole then
you might as well just stay where you are
and keep your flexibility for the next two years
and even for the off season
and maybe something else happens there.
I think this lineup here is good enough
to where they can win a playoff round
with this.
You can compete for the conference finals
and then at that point you just have to hope
that Curry goes God mode
and carries you to a finals.
Okay.
Yeah, there's also,
there's no more first-on picks the trade.
So very limited flexibility left.
It would have to be like a player-based
trade, which you don't really see very much these days.
Most trades involve picks of some type.
Yeah, that's very true.
So who are we going to, who are we getting?
I guess I feel comfortable with this roster, way more coming than what they are right now.
And we did a good job.
Steph Curry, you once again have a chance.
We saved your career.
Sounds like Mike Dunham needs to bring us on the team.
Yeah, going all in Ziacom is just like that's your move.
if they have to give up that much for him
because you got no more interesting players
you can't trade Moody
if you're going to be benching clay
no more tradeable first on picks
like this is the squad
and you gotta hope you can resign Seaccom
good they are in hell
this isn't even that great
this is like you're in hell
this is your championship team
do you yeah
that was going to be my question too
do you think this team
will win a championship prize capability
fuck no no they are not winning a champion
with this no
the only way
that they win a championship
is if we are controlling
them while playing 2K that's the only
way this is real life
basketball a championship is not happening
yeah
dang so it's over
we did the best we could
this is what this is what's on the table
take it to leave it
Curry you got a better chance you did yesterday
yeah that's all you can do
that's all you can do and
it's all about timing in the NBA
I wash my hands with it
we tried brother
sick out's hands
so that wraps up
us rebuild the Warriors
I think we can move on from rebuilds
that was fun
we've had so much talk about despair with the Warriors
I think we move on to another team
that is in despair
of which relates especially to one of us
and also brings joy to another one of us.
Let's talk about the Atlanta Hawks.
Let's do it.
Mo, stop looking around.
Stop looking around.
I'm trying to avoid the question.
Look straight at me.
Look straight at me.
All right.
I was gaslit for months coming into the season.
Talking about,
oh, the Hawks are going to be better than the Knicks.
We might be top four.
That's not happening.
And not only,
my bad.
Not only am I going to take a victory life in December.
I'm going to tell you right here, to your face.
I need my money.
I need my $200.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what money?
What $200?
Did you not read the contract that we initially signed?
It was double or nothing.
Double or nothing meaning I get $200 will be coming back.
You'll get nothing, sir.
That's literally not how that works.
Either way.
Yes, it is.
No, it is.
That is literally what double or nothing means.
We both put up $100.
And so I quote unquote lost.
And so I'm saying double or nothing.
So whoever wins this next one gets the double.
here's the thing
you just don't know
what double or nothing means
yeah
you've been
finessed your entire life
is what that tells me
someone robbed your last
when you were younger
that's not true
you were a hundred dollars
in the hole
so that you went double or nothing
to try it out of the hole
which means if you win
you get nothing
exactly
if I get that
right
if I get my
stop
stop playing with me
stop playing with me
no no no I'm not going to do this
I'm not going to do this
I need my money
Okay, and I'm coming for every dollar, okay, for every dollar.
And nobody, listen, I was lied to for months coming into this pod.
I'm not going to be lied to right now.
I need my money the next time I see everybody.
That's not what that means.
I'm not playing.
I'm not money.
This man spent a year after college working as a writer at a sports betting company and he doesn't know how betting works.
I am not.
First of all.
You said, don't worry or nothing.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
I'm on a real
time out
I'm gonna look this up
okay
y'all go
well tell us
tell us why your team sucks
on a real note
we are ass
as s
two cans of ass
bbl type ass
humongous
the type of ass
that we are right now
shit seems fake
how can we get worse
we only lost
one player
we lose one player
jail and Johnson
goes down
and all of a sudden
he's the saving grace
of our team
no y'all though
he's fucking great
him going down alone should not cause us to be this type of ass so anyways why are we
asked yeah man it's a lot of reasons Isaac do you what's a reason do you think that you think
we think we're ass first of all let's tell people the context of this as we were about to start
recording mo had to wait a second because he was watching the warrior i mean the hawks playing
as the raptors a team he has actively hated on since the inception of the show he was like
I'm watching a Tray Young master class
and then 10 minutes after that he was like
oh my god if you lose
I'm gonna go break some shit
and they lost to the Raptors
A team who has been so bad
They were the reason we thought about
Rebuilding teams for this episode
because they need to blow that shit up
And they beat the Hawks
And guess what else
They scored 130 on the Hawks
A bottom 10 offense in the league
So that should tell you your answer
The problem is they can't defend a fucking thing
Not a zip
Yep
Everybody's ass
Jalen Johnson's gone
They don't have that shot blocker
Klingapela
2019 Klincapella is not walking through those doors
Dejante Murray hasn't fixed the defense
Like people thought they would when they brought him in
Trey Young is still Trey Young
Though I did see some Hawks fans having propaganda
On the time of the day saying his defense has gotten better
I haven't seen it
But maybe people that watch our Hawks every day have
I don't know what the answer is
That's not anything
That's not any real point to bring up at all
The defense is the last
You let the Rafters drop like
130 on your head. No OT needed. Distraint of regulation.
Bro, 48 minutes? That's not real.
Yeah, so there's so many things going on with this team. And all we can do, all I can do
is a Hawks fan and just sit down and think about where all this went wrong. And it all
went wrong when Travis Slank left our team. He made a few ears here and there or whatever.
but since he left we have had been plagued by a terrible case of nepotism um nepotism yeah
you got never made you running around yeah yeah bro because our owner his name is tony wrestler
and he has his son on in the fields making basketball decisions for us his son has good
he has no real he has no real experience in any professional world um in the NBA specifically
So there's that training for Dejante Murray hasn't been the most beautiful outcome.
I don't want to put the entire blame on him, but he is a part of why we're not that great.
Dejante is the second worst player in the NBA when it comes to finishing inside the paint.
He is frail.
Really?
He does his dirty work in the mid-range.
And as a late in this season, he's been a fantastic three-point shooter.
you know that's that's come along very well for him but at the start of the season seemed great he was
in my opinion we're during the first five games the best part on the hawks but now things have
been looking bleak and he was as of recently in a shooting slub so his defense also hasn't been
as potent and impactful as you'd like to see and then on top of that the most atlanta hawks
player ever is dionre hunter he is the definition of just mid he's not complete ass he can look good
But for the most part, he's just not really that impactful.
It can look like he's not even on the court sometimes.
So it's a whole lot.
Anya Kono hasn't made that leap also.
So in my opinion, this team needs to just get blown the fuck up.
And we need to do some deep work inside.
And that starts with our front office.
Serious dysfunction causes dysfunction to spread and leak everywhere.
It's like a bad, bad pipe in the house.
We just have terrible infrastructure.
Dang.
Tough.
This team has lost five straight games.
coincidentally
Jaylon Johnson
has been out
for I think
eight games
they fell off a cliff
as soon as he went out
we talked about it
in previous episodes
he has been
the one silver lining
of this season
for the Atlanta Hawks
he's emerging
as a truly
high level starter
a guy we can imagine
potentially moving
towards being a low
level all star one day
two way player
highly efficient
score one of their
only good
positive defenders
has legit room
protection skills
basically everything
they suck at
he's good at
now he's gone
So the one guy who could do these things well in this team
From the forward position is no longer there
And they fell off a cliff as expected
Like it's tough
I don't know what the answer is for them
Maybe it is blowed up like you said
And even when he was here
We were still like mid as hell
You know what I'm saying
We were still like five and five
Six and eight type shit
You know what I'm saying
But we were like
We were at least like in the hunt
Of just being mid
Now we're just fucking bad
Straight up ass
Keep going
I love hearing this keep going
Shut up
I'm gonna keep going
I'm not talking.
You're going to get this.
Let's talk about the Knicks.
What do you want to talk about?
I'm going to say about the next.
Yeah, not.
Not, yeah.
But I pile it on the Hawks.
They're trash.
So, okay, so
from the jump,
I've said it every time we talk about the Hawks.
I've never once for a second
believed in the Jean-Tier Murray trade.
Time of making the trade,
I was like,
why would this be your all in move
to get a point guard to pair at your point guard?
I think it's fucking dumb.
especially a point guard that isn't a particularly good shooter.
Now, he's gotten better.
He has good shooting stats, so he's not like a non-shooter to that degree.
But we know there's a difference between guys who can make three and have a good percentage
versus guys that actually spaces the floor can come off screens,
be a really effective spot-up shooter that people aren't going to help off of,
come off a dribble handoffs and pull up, pull up from quick and roll,
all the sorts.
Things that we know Trey Young is good at.
He needs a guy next to him that can at the very least also be a shooter that has impact
to, you know, be able to facilitate
Trailes' playmaking skills.
Never was DeJante Murray, never has been.
I think that it's not his fault they suck,
but it's his fault because that's the one
all-in move they made to be not trash,
and he doesn't elevate them like you'd have to be
to warrant that type of draft picks given up.
Yeah, exactly.
And what makes the situation even more sick?
Again...
More sick.
Yeah, like, again, DeJante-Murie has been as good
you could hope he could be a side of like him not being able to finish it because he's so frail
um is that we are out of our 2026 pick you have a 2027 pick swap in 2028 we don't have a pick
you know what i'm saying so this is the only year that we have our pick until the next
three years we have no flexibility whatsoever and so you know what was that i love you know
Nikiel's showing a YouTube video
And he just had a crazy ad pop up
I said calling all dead
You know these ads are personalized to you
I texted him earlier
When he was trying to pull up some
He was trying to pull up some highlights
I said get YouTube premium
And it was for his own safety
Because I knew something like this is coming up
He's being exposed
Calling all dads
I don't know where that was going
He's a weeb with a child
That's crazy
A weep with a child
It's crazy
Nickale
Feel free to jump on the mic and defend yourself
Explain yourself
What was that
Let's hear it
It's sorry
You're in 4K
You're done for
You're done
Yeah it happens
That's hilarious
It happens as the best of this man
It happens as the best of this
But Donovan
We're still here
Comment daddy to kill
Yeah that's crazy
He's so mad
He's so good at that's so fast
It's hilarious
Common to kill is my dad
We're still here
N-I-H-I-L
I'm dead
I'm dead
But
That's hilarious
Quick question
You're gonna ask a question
Yeah
Donovan
What would you do
To try to improve this team
um fine god fine god yeah i i think i think for them you have to move off of de jante um and i know
that you just gave him the extension but clearly like training extension too yeah and again
he's he's playing well but this might be the best opportunity to trade him his his value might be at
it's peak right now, but
Trey's obviously your franchise
and you are going to want to keep him,
Jalen Johnson's
surgeons this year,
you're going to want to keep him.
Whether or not you feel that
Anya can take that eventual step,
that's going to be the question,
because if not,
you can potentially move off of him
to make another move, right?
Maybe just keep rolling with Clint Capella
and just give up on that experiment,
but you're going to have to,
you're going to have to find people
who actively,
improve your defense because what we've seen, and we talked about this last time with the Hawks
is that we've seen with Quinn Snyder-led teams is that the defense is not necessarily going
to be a priority. And a lot of that was covered up because you had Rudy Gobert in the back
in the back end manning everything. But if you're not going to have a three-time defensive player
that you're doing that, everybody else is going to have to be a personal challenge for the other
guys to play defense because structurally they're just not going to be incentivized to do that.
So Dejante is going to have to get traded and yaku is going to have to get traded and a lot of
your top assets are going to have to start moving and you're going to have to start getting
that process of what is the next era of Hawks basketball look like.
Yeah.
They're cooked.
Which is tough.
They're stuck in mid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they would need the perfect opportune star player to become available that would need.
need of young point guard could use a
can this hawks trade two draft picks or just one
can they trade 2030 and 2024 uh i don't
think they could trade 2030 right well they actually they can
yeah they can so they could trade 2024
oh actually know the oh yeah okay yeah they have their own
24 pick and then they had 2030 two first round picks
there's auntie murray if there's the perfect star available
that could get you somebody interesting but i don't see that star
walking through these doors they don't want demard rosen they don't want
Zach Levine. Maybe they'll get you an OG and an OB. Maybe they get you a Pascal Seaccom.
But at that point, I don't think those players are good enough to get rid of Jante for it.
So you kind of stuck. Do you get rid of Dejante for depth?
That is the only way at this point in time. Like, we need players. The, the back,
back when we were our, the back when we were at our best, we had just a lot of impactful players
on our roster. John Collins was actually an impactful player back in 2021. And also in this
current year or don't I disrespect him or anything, but
point is, players
who left a real impact on the defense event
and lock up when shit was important.
Guys like a Delon Wright,
I miss his ass, you know what I'm saying?
You're down bad. I know.
I'm going to talk about Delon Wright. We've never said his
name in the history of TD3. Every single video
we made out of 500, whatever
videos or whatever it might be, we've never said his
name. And I'm here saying, I miss Delon Wright.
I'm in the trenches. Can we please just
can we switch conversations, fuck?
Yeah, man. Listen,
And do the Nets want him for Doran, Finney Smith, Royce O'Neill, Packager role players?
I would do that personally.
That's, I like that actually.
I like that actually.
That frees DeJante and get, okay, listen.
8K proof right here.
You don't know what you have until it's gone.
That's what this is.
For audio listeners, we have a tweet pulled up from at Mojo 99 underscore.
Get De Lawn Right.
These were typed in lowercase letters.
Off my team, man.
Typed in uppercase letters.
Listen.
I did not know how good I had life back then at all.
I'm so sorry for all the Lahn Wrights.
That was three months.
That was tweeted three months after the Get Delon Right off my team tweet.
Yeah.
This is great.
Listen.
Yeah, man, the Hawks are down bad.
And like, it just couldn't be me.
Like, I couldn't imagine rooting for a team that didn't just win the in-season tournament.
that isn't a top four team in the West
can playoff time. That doesn't have two superstars.
That doesn't have the six men of the year.
That doesn't have four six, eight wings that can defend.
We're just going to leave it at that.
The Atlanta Hawks, and including me,
we are in purgatory.
This is the worst position to be as an NBA fan.
A team that's supposed to be good,
but you're genuinely ass
and you give up picks to be good.
And you're not.
Your ass.
I'll say that.
God, man.
Okay.
Mo, I left my watching home.
Do you know what time it is?
Oh, shit.
Plug just hit me.
Folks, it's TikTok time.
Let's get this shit wrong.
The Creon Eaters and issues.
They need it.
They need it.
I felt that shit in my chest.
I knew you'd come through.
Oh, man.
Welcome to TikTok time.
As always, we're going to begin with the draft.
This time, we're going to do a lineup draft,
making the biggest NBA lineups possible.
One through five, we're going to draft some.
Massive motherfuckers.
A tallest line as possible.
This is crazy.
Donovan's first pick.
I'm second pick.
Most third pick.
I got the perfect spot.
Let's do it.
Where are we starting?
I have to go with, listen,
I could go two ways,
but I want actual good players on my team.
So give me Yao Ming at my center.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
You know what?
You're going to go with height first.
I'm going to go with girth.
Give me Shaquille O'Neal in my center.
Damn.
That's good.
That's good.
You want to talk about big.
I'm large.
Okay.
You're doing that.
I like that.
So to double up,
speaking of large,
just give me Zion Williamson.
No one's getting through me.
And then give me trade request Hardin.
He's,
hey,
trade request Hardin's a different breed.
We never seen nobody's shapes up like that before ever.
That's a good.
That's a deep.
You want to talk about large?
got it down.
Next pick.
You know what?
Give me the ultimate size mismatch.
Give me Magic Johnson at point guard.
Okay.
Okay.
You can't get bigger than that, the point card.
Listen, I'm still going with height at my four.
Give me, give me the Frenchman.
Give me Wembe.
No, I wanted him so bad.
Damn, okay.
You know he was going to be on my team.
You know that.
You got seven four and seven six.
Listen, and at my two,
Give me one of the most iconic big man ever
Glenn Big Baby Davis
Tugard, who
That's a two guard
We're getting nasty here I like it, sir
Big Baby is a two guy
Listen, baseline jumpers to death
You know what
You picked Wemby, you got me on the height
I'm catching up as best as I can
Give me Christos for Zingis at the power forward
Tingis, Pinguish, okay
Verticality

Bobon.

Boban would have been hard.
Boban would have been hard.
If it was me, Donovan, I would have picked Simbular.
I would have gone real next.
Well, it was between big country, it was between big country and Manute Bowl to have the,
to have the father's son, but I just need a little big country nickname.
That's hilarious.
So my team, Magic Johnson, Kevin Durant, Larry Markman, Tenghis Pinguish, Shaq, and Sean Bradley.

Rebound Charles Barkley
Zion
on Taco Fall and Big Back Baby Bubba Michael Sweetie.
We moving out here.
Big back thing.
This is the most unhinged drafts I've ever fucking seen.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
I think honestly, Donovan might have the most well-rounded team.
He has, you have a bunch of sticks.
Bro, I have Big Baby at the two.
Like, listen.
You have Big Baby at the two, but he also have Bobo and Yao Ming.
Look out range.
Big Baby at the two.
Listen, on defense, on defense, we're running a zone and bowl, Bo, Bo, Wembe, and Yama, they're just going to hold hands around the three-point line.
You're playing a different type of defense, innovative.
I like it.
I'm crying.
I got big baby at the two and shit well-round.
He's just rounded.
Scammer.
Scammer of the year.
God. I thought we were drafting like real tea. This is a real team. This is never going to
happen. Let's make it that spice Adam shorts off. I can't believe he's one of the same
shows I'm wearing. He means fucking six seven good God. Six seven we're wearing five and seam
shorts and it's ridiculous. He thinks he's jerseky. He should have dropped a jisky.
Oh shit
That's good
All right time out
Next video
I'm going to get crazy
Oh
Next thing we're going to do
I don't even know
Or take it from here
I'm fucking trying to recover
Oh you want to say your team
For the audio listeners
Real good
Before we move on
Oh yeah again
For the audio listeners
My team is
Current day Mike Bibby
Trade Request Harden
Charles Barkley
Mound Round and rebound
Of course
At the four
Zon Williamson, five, Taco Fall, and sixth man is Michael Sweetney,
a.k.a. Big, back, baby, Bubba.
Love it.
Next thing we're going to do, man, let's just keep it all funny moments.
Let's keep the laughs rolling.
Next thing we're going to do, we're going to look at some NBA moments,
and we're going to decide from 1 to 10 how funny it was.
Okay.
The NBA legit is like the funniest league in the world.
There's just something that's stupid happening every night.
Well, this is Mo's host.
Well, why don't you show these moments?
It's going to be a classic man.
Rate how funny these NBA moments are from scale of 1 to 10.
All right, so number one is Kyrie flicking off Boston Celtics fans during his return.
I don't even think I've ever seen this, actually.
This is amazing.
Really?
You never seen this?
I think I missed this.
This was the day he stepped on lucky.
This was great.
This was hilarious.
All the Boston fans and everything that they always say, this was fantastic.
And to do it so discreetly and just like, um,
You got to get ready for the inbounds.
No, this is great.
I give this like an eight.
It's not even a good eight.
Yeah.
The best part is they deserve it.
You know this is given to a group of people
that 100% deserve whatever they got.
There's no doubt of my mind, these Boston Celtics,
there's no doubt in my mind,
these Boston Celtics fans deserve both middle fingers.
Yeah, exactly.
This wasn't even that discreet.
Kairi was on one since he woke up, bro.
He was running around the arena that day.
Though he was spreading incense around everywhere, bro.
Stombed on Lucky, he was ready for this.
He knew exactly what he wanted to do.
Now, he chose chaos that morning.
Eight it is.
What's next?
Next up, we got the time the Denver Nuggets mascot passed out mid-air during this moment, bro.
They brought him down, security had to check on his ass.
He was gone.
This is funny for a couple reasons.
One, this has to be in the job description that you can handle stuff like this, right?
They asked you about this in the interview and you should lie to their face that you cannot handle this.
Two, the kids in the crowd had to be so scared and like, Rocky died.
He's dead.
Bro, body lipped in a motherfucker.
If I'm a kid, I'm thinking, did I just witness a public lynching?
Like, what's going on here?
Did I just do this to make it?
Hanged?
Good God.
I can't believe you took it there.
It looks like it.
Hanging from the top.
Oh my God.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
This is just crazy.
I would be mortified if I was a child there.
This is the seven.
As an a kid,
I'd be horrified.
As an adult,
I'm crying laughing at all the kids
that were scared.
I don't care.
This was my favorite mascot.
I would have to cover.
I would have to cover my kid's eyes.
It would be like,
you know,
totally.
And I'm doing it.
I'm covering it up.
And I'm like,
You're fucked
You're fucked
What's
What's next
Seven
Okay, cool
What do you rate this, Donovan?
I'll go eight
These are all very funny
It's got to be a 10 to me, man
What's next?
Next up
We got
Dremont Green
slapping the shit out of
You know, this would be funny, but I'm at the point. This man is just a serial assaulter. I'm just like sick of it. It's not funny anymore. It's irritating. He deserved that suspension 100%. Listen, I think in the moment last night, it was, it was annoying. 24 hours later, I'm crying. This is hilarious. He literally just can't stop himself from assaulting somebody. He just got home. He just got off of parole.
And he's a repeat of Factor.
He has an addiction to mollywapping.
He sees, he sees a face, a punchable face, and his hand just starts talking to him like the green goblin.
Like, you know you want to do it.
You know you want to slap him.
Like, he can't help it.
The best part is, you're right, because all Nurgut did was slightly tug his jersey in the post.
And he was like, nope, helicopter modes of butter up and mallewop to the face is crazy.
He snaps. He has no self-control.
It's, I, I cannot believe the lengths that he will go to to put his hands on somebody.
This is a 10.
He is the CEO of crashing out.
This is what he does.
Add this to the highlight.
It's a 10.
It's a 10, bro.
What do you think this is Isaac?
Absolute 10, clean sweep.
Perfect.
Glad we're on the same page.
What's next?
Next up, Michael Beasley,
rubbing Anthony Tolliver's
knee
Ted,
I've never seen a look
up pure shock
the way Anthony Tolliver was
when he realized
what the fuck was going on
he took a second
to be like
am I imagining
this motherfucker touching my knee
how long
how long
do you have to rub
somebody else's knee
before you realize
hey I don't feel anything
before you start
getting nervous
is like
is everything okay
Like, I don't feel like me at all.
The only, the only logic behind us in.
I didn't you paralyze.
No thoughts upstairs.
Bro, he was high as a bitch that day.
That's the only logic behind this.
Everything just feels a little bit slower.
So it makes sense.
Absolute 10.
Yeah, what's next?
All right.
The time when Rudy Gobert touched everything in Costco with the next day.
Man, this is not funny.
This man spread COVID to the whole NBA.
We can't.
He shut down as a villain.
Oh, my goodness.
No, this is hilarious.
I don't care.
The, no one's funny about this.
He thought he was hilarious.
This isn't just like bad, immoral.
It's a bomb joke.
There's nothing funnier than someone making a joke that doesn't land.
And he thinks he's the funniest one in the room.
Next thing you know, he almost killed Donovan Mitchell.
facts
don't think
facts bro
I know
Donovan was ready
to kill him
over it too
it ruined his
relationship
with Donovan Mitchell
it led to
Donovan Mitchell
requesting a trade
this is
it was already
bad
that was
I finished
this chicken noodle soup
as soon as
I get healthy
again
I'm coming
for you Rudy
Donald Mitchell
was drinking
Gator every
three days
just pissed
ready to kill
this Frenchman
I give it
a 3
10
10 out of 10
10 out of 10
Okay, I agree. Stample it. Staple it.
That's the last one? Yeah. We're good. That's hilarious, man. I love that we got both the funny ones out the way immediately. Set the energy off right.
Hope you all enjoying this TikTok time. If you are, do us a favor. Drop a like and subscribe on this video for watching on YouTube. Your friend, audio platforms, lose five-star drop a review. Let's keep this shit going.
The next thing we're going to do, we're going to transition to some basketball talk. We're going to go do a
tier list now, and it's going to be a tier list of every version of the Los Angeles Lakers over the
years. So there's championship teams, teams that got put together to try to win a championship
and flopped, middle of the road teams, just every version of Lakers I could think of that were
interesting to talk about. We're going to tier list them. Here we go with that Lakers
deleted stuff. Listen, they get the clicks. People like looking at them. So real simple,
let's put every version of the Los Angeles Lakers into a tier list. First off, the 2001 Lakers.
This is S.
This is an S-tier version of the Lakers.
A hundred percent.
It's an S-tier version of anybody.
Yeah.
Through the three-peat, there's no reason to put them below an S.
They lost one game, all playoffs.
Yeah, this is S-tier.
Probably the best Lakers team in history, so it's a no way to go to S-tier.
Wow, in history, though.
Big state.
Yeah.
We'll get some more options.
We'll see if you can review that.
Next up, the 2020 Lakers.
This is a solid A or B tier.
I'll probably comfortably say B tier, though.
Yeah, it's A tier for a lot of teams,
but the Lakers have a lot of heavy hitting teams,
so maybe B tier for their standards.
I understand that.
But given everything that was going on in 2020,
the fact that they overcame the pandemic,
they were hooping in the bubble.
They overcame the loss of Kobe.
Like, sentimentally, this feels like a very big Lakers team.
So I have to put an A.
Okay.
Damn, they defeated grief and the coronavirus in one year.
Give it to him, A, you're right.
Grief and the coronavirus.
That's basically a 3P if you think about it.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Not too much, not too much.
The 2004 Lakers.
Oh, okay, so they didn't make the finals, but they lost, but they lost in embarrassing fashion
and were a, they were a disappointment.
Deeply disappointing team.
They're supposed to be better than the 3P teams.
They added two washed up superstars, but still.
good quality role players expectation with championship robust this can't be up higher than
b no i would say c yeah exactly yeah that's tough key d i don't know for their standards
and this i was thinking d because for disappointment you're cooking yeah exactly these
d only makes sense when you have such an illustrious franchise like the lakers do exactly
the championship or bust almost every year this was a bust next up 1985 peak of showtime
an S.
It's definitely better than 2020, right?
Yeah, it can't be in the same tier as 2020.
Why not?
We should also put 2020 back into B.
Okay, can this team catch peak showtime being the same caliber of 2001?
Absolutely, I think so.
If 2020 is A, they have to be in S tier along with 2001.
I think they just have to be A to, though.
Well, then we've got to move 2020 to B, I think.
2020 belongs in B. That's fair. Why?
They're not Showtime, man. It's peak showtime. They beat the Larry Bird Celtics in this year. I understand. I don't know. This is India history we're talking about here. The the fact that the Lakers, like Isaac said, they beat grief and the coronavirus. I think that they have to be a.
Okay, then Showtime's S. No, there's other versions of Showtime that are essay.
Okay, well, Mo, do you agree?
2020 done to B?
2020 definitely should be to B.
Donovan, just the other day I heard you saying this is a Mickey Mouse ring.
Make up your mind.
Pick a side.
Listen, I'm trying to do stuff for clicks right now.
All right.
Okay, we'll put that down to B and we can show us number of day.
There we go.
I'm not sure.
Next up, the 2018 Lakers.
Young rebuild.
F.
Oh, it's a mean F tier.
Lanzabal doesn't move you?
F for fun.
They were a fun team, right?
But they sucked.
So we're going to put them in that.
F it is.
Can't argue.
Trash.
Next up,
1972 when they won with Wilt.
Who?
Ooh.
That was great.
That was great.
What?
B tier?
Can we put them in A?
What?
B?
you lost for like eight years in a row it's about time you won a championship
you're bound to get one eventually
it's just a numbers game at that point put them in B
yeah we'll be okay
yeah it's not on the sheer level of dominance of showtime
of winning multiple championships in the era
they had to win one there was like four relevant teams in the league that year
exactly
damn so Mickey Mouse tier
Mickey Mouse ranked tears that we were saying
yeah
Next up,
2011.
Oh, 2011.
They failed with Dwight Howard.
Yeah, this has to be nasty.
This has to be an F tier.
No, it can't be F.
No, they were not as bad as they were not as bad as it.
It has to be F.
It has to be F.
D is an all-time failure for them,
but they still made the finals.
This team got bouncing the first round.
This team,
this team forced Kobe Bryant to tear his Achilles
because they,
was that bad and he had to play too much. No, it's ever. Bro, there were, remember that Sports
Illustrated cover when they traded for Steve Nash and Dwight Howard? People thought they were
going to win four chips in a row. That was supposed to be the team. Damn. Well,
considering the context, yeah, that is true. They were the next super team. Yeah, they're supposed
to compete with the heels. They didn't compete with anything. They competed with the bobcats.
Next up.
The 2006 Lakers, when Kobe was on his own.
Oh, this is a lot of F.
Kobe was a demon.
It's a lot of F in here.
If you're not winning, if you are not in the finals, you are an F for the Lakers.
That's just the standard.
I don't make the rules of.
Yeah, but the year Kobe had a loan moves me like a bitch.
Can we go D with him?
Personally.
No.
I mean, D my bad.
Damn, they can't go D, just repeat Kobe?
They had Smush Parker and lost in the first round.
We can't put Spish Marker.
We can't put, I cannot say those words.
That's a tongue twister.
We cannot put Smush Parker above F tier.
He has to be there.
That's what he belongs.
All right, let's put him in F.
All right, next up, we got two more.
The 2009 Lakers, the championship with Powell.
The first one.
Oh, this is so nostalgic
A B-tier
Championship
Is that
That seems worse than
That seems worse than the 2020
Yes
Can they be C tier?
There's no C tier right now
Could they be?
I don't I don't
I don't think you said championship or bust
So every team that's not in the finals
This is F tier
I feel like C should be the lower tier
To your championship teams
If D is losing the finals
F is not
make the finals. See is win the finals would be less impressive than every other version.
All right. That's fair. That's fair. We can put him in C. If this is the keep me out of this.
I don't want to put him in B. Nostalgia is kicking my ass right now.
Now you were 10 years old high five. I don't remember it finally. Hell yeah. I'll live in a bitch.
I was like this is why he's the goat. Four rings. Or five. There we go. Five rings.
Sorry, bubble AD moves me more than Paukasol.
I know everybody hates it when I say that and take the ox, but it's true.
You don't know, ball.
Comments are my facts.
Both right.
Exactly.
You're pandering to the fans.
Next up, last but not least, this year, 2023 Lakers.
Thief.
We got to put them.
The games are your starting point.
a championship they have an eight-season tournament title if you have a title I'm sorry a banner
is gonna hang because of this year's team so logic's logic it checks out I'm just trying
to be consistent put this team above Shaq and Kobe put this team of everybody else below
them seat here I love it Gary Payton each your heart out okay
love it
this is the tier list
S tier we got 01
A tier we got 85
B tier 2020
2020 1972
C tier 2009
and this year
D tier 04
in the bottom feeders
an F
I think we did a good job
I like it's okay
I'm proud
it's alright
we did good
hater
you know it
that concludes that
next thing we're gonna do
something we haven't done a few weeks
another old versus new
a staple of TD3 TikTok time
fighting against nostalgia
exactly
this time we're going to throw back
to the original topic that started old versus new
NBA logos
so you know how it goes
I'm going to show you two NBA logos
one old one new
you tell me which one was better
first off
the Toronto Raptors
come on now
the old sweeps
and it's not even
He is.
Yeah.
The Raptor's new logo.
It's good still.
Keep in mind, it's not the jersey.
It's just the logo.
Separate the iconic jersey.
Is the logo itself better?
Separated or not, the logo itself is still better.
The color scheme is impeccable.
And plus, yeah, the fucking Raptor.
That's hard.
We got a little claw on a ball.
We got a little, we got a little, uh.
No, listen, the basketball, the basketball in the middle and just the words around it, that's lazy.
That's modern.
It's generic.
No.
need get give me some character right give me some personality in your logo that's what the old
one has so i'm going yeah and the purple is strong they definitely need to bring purple back at
some point yeah it's a staple i don't know what they why they went away from it i don't know
anyway old sweeps next up we have the minnesota timber wolves old sweeps again god damn it
that wolf really yeah the new wolf just seems so he don't feel like a wolf he
He looks like a two-wawa.
He's not even a halid.
Yeah, he's not even an halin at all.
The old logo, though, that moves me.
That reminds me a cage.
That just reminds me of some.
Ah, can't even describe it.
It's hard.
Just, just, you were passionate about this logo.
Yeah, I like it.
It's staring, it's staring dead in the eyes.
It makes you feel something.
Am I wrong?
You're not wrong.
You feel something a lot more impactful than I feel.
but I'll give it to you.
Listen, if you are just rolling
with just the basketball in the middle,
I think you're kind of boring.
I think you're leaning on a crutch
and you're not being as creative
as you actually can.
So I'm going with the old one.
The trees is a nice touch.
It's definitely more unique
than the basketball,
so I understand that.
Absolutely.
Old sweeps again.
Next up,
the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Okay.
This is a little closer.
This is a middle.
either way.
They've never had good logos.
Yeah.
The net V, the netted V is actually kind of cool,
but other than that, this logo has no character.
That 90s logo sucks.
I'm not going to lie to you.
It doesn't suck.
I'm deciding when a solacea this far.
That shit sucks.
It's like, the orange is nice.
But we're just putting a C.
Yeah.
It's just a simple C.
That's it.
It's a pointy C.
It looks like a hooker.
sword from a cavalier
when is a cavalier I don't know what that is
it's like a sword fighter
or a good explorer
oh that's why
some do with a blade
these are both kind of ass
and I'm thinking about it
listen for the first time
in old versus new history
both else
they both
nobody is
I agree that's hilarious
we're fence sitters over here
trash on trash
let's move on
the Chicago Bulls
nice
of this.
They know who they are, and they stick to their roots.
I'm not going to lie to you.
This new one is trash.
Give me the old.
Really?
I think the complete opposite.
The bowl looks ugly as fucking the old and the new one.
You're going old?
Yeah.
You fucking love nostalgia.
You'll pick anything from your childhood.
Oh, that's funny.
Bozo.
Next one.
The Utah Jazz.
You know we hate the whole new era of Utah Jazz colors.
Dang, we hate the whole new era of the Jazz's colors, jerseys, logos, all of it.
The old one sweeps, clears, dominates it, every adjective possible.
What's even the redeeming quality of this new one?
It's horrendous.
I don't even know.
I can't even fathom the words to explain how basic and boring and unventurous this is.
When you put him side by side like this, it's honestly offensive to jazz fans.
I'm going to say it.
The new one is not that bad.
Oh, go to hell.
Boo.
Go to hell.
It's just black.
It's like they don't even have the jazz colors.
I feel like this feels like an incomplete
Disney Channel logo.
Like, you know, they used to have the one just like,
Disney, do, do, do, do.
Yeah, this just feels like a very lazy duplicate of that.
So I'm definitely going to go new for sure, or old for sure.
Those are the same way.
Thank you.
Yeah, old two.
It's not even close.
But it's not that.
The jazz have one of the, the jazz have one of the best 90s logos out there.
This was not even a thought for me.
100%.
It's historic.
All right.
Next up, we have the Houston Rockets.
Okay, now this one's tough because if you put this, if you put the new logo versus the one in the middle, this actually is an upgrade.
But they're both kind of like mid.
I like the colors on the old one.
So I'm going to just go with that one.
The colors on the old one are definitely dope.
the general style
of the new one
is just very plain
is just like
bro another basketball
in the middle
what is we doing
are the colors
better on the old one
yeah
ronna macdonald
has colors
I kind of like
black and red
it works
it works
but it could have been
done so much better
you have black and red
and this is what you do
waste of potential
this isn't the
this isn't the best
rocket logo
we're going against
this one's kind of plain too
but the font
of the rockets
is on the old one
is better than the font on the new one.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Believe it or not.
I guess.
I hate both of them now.
Now that you point out the font,
this is I'm going to new one.
I'm going on.
But I'm still going old.
All right.
Next one.
The 76ers.
The Syracuse Nationals.
Was this a baseball team?
Ew.
This definitely looks like a single-A baseball team from the 60s.
Yeah, they lost
They lost
Yeah
Even you know
If it comes from the 50s or the 60s
You know what we do on this pod
Yeah
Shout out to the 1950s
This is from 1950 exactly
Exactly
The new one wins
The rest is to give it
This old logo is from before
They invented spray cheese
I'm not big in the shit
I didn't know you were fan of spray cheese
Like that
To where it's a market in history
say pre-spray post-spray
he is a man of the cheese
Industrial Revolution has a logo no thank you
listen to playing in a cornfield
give the new one easily
yeah the new sweeps
that's the end of that video
next thing we got I'm going to transition a little bit
and I'm going to quiz you guys on your NBA knowledge
see how many facts you can memorize
And specifically, we're going to talk about how many championships
his NBA franchises have won.
Okay, okay.
Let's get going.
I'm trying to get this tribute bag.
So what we're going to do is I'm going to name two NBA franchises.
And you guys tell me who has won more championships.
Was doing it.
Sounds good to me.
Okay.
First matchup.
I can't talk.
The Golden State Warriors or the Chicago Bulls.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
I want to buzz in.
I yeah listen where also are mo and i competing against each other yes okay bet okay cool so i
so the the chicago bulls have six and the golden state warriors have five so i'm going
with the chicago bulls uh was that your answer yeah that was going to be my answer too
neither one of y'all know shit the golden state warriors have seven ah how do you have seven
You're so confidently wrong
They got the Philadelphia ones, right?
Those don't count, God damn it
But I guess they do in the context of this TikTok
Shit!
Hell
Damn
See what is next matchup
You're over one
The Pistons or the Miami Heat's
All right, let me go first
So we did witness
Miami Heat went with Shaq
Indie Wade of course
And then they won two more with
LeBron
Don't even buzz in I see you
I'm buzzing in
No, no, no, no, no, no.
With that being said, I'm going to get in Miami.
I'm buzzing in first.
Go ahead.
This is a tie.
They both have three.
I have no idea how much of pissants have, bro.
I'm going Miami.
Just know that.
They've won like five games in two years.
I'm going Miami.
Just off a recent Bias alone.
Listen, one in doubt side with Pat Riley, but this time,
Domit is corrected as a clean tie.
Ew.
That's so shameful
Yes, sir
What are you doing?
Poor company, man
Alright next matchup
The San Antonio Spurs
Or the Philadelphia 76ers
Oh now this
You would assume it's tough
But definitely I'm going with the Philadelphia 76ers
It's a very old team
Yeah, all that team
I'm going to go the other way
I'm going to go with the San Antonio Spurs
Mmm, why?
Because Moe picked the sixes and I need a point
So you need the San Antonio Spurs
Terrible reasoning
But you're correct
The San Antonio Spurs have five
And the 76ers have three
Ha!
What the fuck?
Now I'm shook.
Will he ever get a point?
Who knows?
Tune in
Next up
We got
the Los Angeles
Lakers versus the Boston Celtics.
Oh, yeah, this is easy.
This is the Los Angeles Lakers.
That was very quick.
I was very confident.
Yeah, they just wanted to chip in 2020.
True.
It's neck and neck.
All right.
I'm buzzing in.
I'm buzzing in.
I think this is a tie.
I think they're tied right now.
Really?
Yes, because I think,
I think they're tied
because I've remembered.
remember. Listen, I'm probably just lying to myself. I'm just going to guess it's a tie. And that's
my answer. Once again, bad logic, but you're correct. This is a tie at 17. What? Oh, my God,
bro. I thought it was 17 to 18. My calculations is wrong. You were counting on the in-season
tournament. You're already hanging another banner. That should have counted. What the hell?
I got cheated. That is not a Larry O'Brien trophy.
It's close enough. Fuck that.
Actually, it's even better.
Because there's only one in existence.
Exclusivity means it's more valuable.
Counts is like five layer of bees to me, man.
All right, man.
Next up, the Knicks versus the Cavaliers, two old franchises.
Now we're in the trenches.
Okay.
I'm buzzing in right here.
This actually isn't that hard.
The Cavs only have one title.
That's LeBrons.
Oh, wait, no, no, no, no.
They don't have one.
Oh, oh, oh.
They won another one like 55 or whatever years ago.
The Knicks have two.
You know what I'm going to do.
I'm going to go ahead and say it.
For the first time in history, I'm going to go ahead and side with the New York Knicks.
I'm sided with the Knicks as well.
Ah, correct.
Two to one, the Knicks win.
I should have kept my mouth shut.
God damn it.
Let him go.
Fuck.
And because.
Because we tied, nobody gets a point, so most still has no points.
No.
I'm sorry, that's just how we.
I should get an extra two because you hopped on my back.
I can't double or nothing.
Our next one, the Thunder versus the Bucks.
The Super somebody talk.
Okay, I know.
I don't know. I had to do shit.
I had to think out loud.
We're kind of the whole franchise though, right?
Correct.
Yeah, exactly.
So you have to think back to the Super Son.
But even then, I'm, I'm buzzing in.
I'm going to take the Milwaukee Bucks.
Donovan?
I mean to Mo?
Yeah, I, oh, man, that's crazy.
You know what?
You took a point from me?
It's time taking one from you.
Give me the Bucks as well.
Correct the Bucks have two to the Thunders one.
Okay.
Okay.
I see the gamesmanship.
I like it.
All right, that's the end of that.
Tell the trivia a little bit.
I give it real easy.
Next week, we'll up to ante
and do harder trivia.
I want to keep an entry level
for this week.
Nice.
Last thing we got.
This is going to be a fun one.
We've been talking a lot lately
about the best players
and franchise histories
for different teams.
Now we're going to transition
a little bit
and we're going to talk
about current players
and whether or not
they have the opportunity
to become their franchises
as goat by the end of their career.
Projection.
Okay.
Yeah, like,
would you all expect that to be the case?
Let's do it.
So, can this NBA player
be their franchises go
at the end of their career?
First off, Luca Donchich.
In order to be the franchise's goat, this man has to win a ring.
MVP's, I'm assuming we all agree he'll do that sometime throughout his career.
But when in that, he's going to be tough when you have the Dallas Mavericks front office in front of you.
Listen, that 2011 ring is a tough hill to overcome.
But also, he might just have like 12 first team all-MBAs by the time you're 32.
So I'll kind of, I'll be shocked if he doesn't become the franchise's goal.
honestly he should be he has to win a ring or he's not the goat that's just that's
a simple play also dirk played like two decades with the map yeah true said if he dips out
early dirks dirks dirt's their guy and they can always lean back and be like he was the one yeah
nobody stays around that long anymore and he doesn't even have like a championship nuclear
so we can see him contending with for the next decade low key i think it's probably pretty likely
he leaves i'm gonna know actually he can't be the goat because he's gonna leave i'm gonna say no
damn i guess i'm uh go against all actually i'm gonna say yes he's gonna be the next goat
when he requests a trade in a couple years that would be insane i leaked
all right next up joel and bead no hell no hell no if he was to be the goat he would literally
hell no championship this year next year and the year after a year after
that one with a couple of MVP's
hell not
nothing he has two chips
Dr. Jay has two chips he has MVP's of his own
Joel and B got to start racking
up some rings and he's not
going to do it with Tobias
Harris is your third best player I'm sorry
not in the year of 2023
says he better than AI
is he better sixer than AI
I mean
yeah person
hard to have that conversation with the nostalgia factor
so I'll leave that for another day
regular season player for sure
playoffs
I don't know
when they both got one MVP
who's the say for sure
yeah
it's man
but next up
yeah
next up
Trey young
no
just off of this picture
what
this is a horrible picture
why does he look like this
what's wrong with this
he's just a regular
light skin mix man
nah
no
but I don't
I don't think so
The only one in his way.
Three years ago, maybe I would have said, okay, he's on the trajectory.
I'm way past thinking Tray Young is going to be, like, some superstar.
Well, I'm not.
I don't think it's hard to surpass someone like Dominique Wilkins with how talented he is.
Now, he has less time on his hands.
He's 25 years old now, and he's only one to the conference finals once, which is still impressive.
But he has a chance.
I'll say he has a chance, though.
Hawks have got to get his act together.
Get their action.
Bam, they expanded the playoffs and he's about to miss the playing.
No, he's not going to be the game.
Look, you said that last year.
He ain't going to miss it this year again.
Relax.
Congratulations on the 10th seed.
He's going to earn it.
Listen, they're out the plane right now.
You guys are 11th.
Listen, this TikTok from the age I want, like, milk.
They're going to be in the plane.
Relax.
Okay.
We have a, everyone.
All right.
Next one.
Devin Booker.
Maybe better than Steve Nash shit. I'm with it. Oh, yeah, that's Charles Barclay. I forgot about
Steve Nash. Yeah, no. No, he has to win MVP's at least one was you at least one he's already
made a finals. What if he makes another finals? I don't know. That's tough. That is tough. He's
gonna have more postseason success in Steve Nash. I think that's pretty safe for sure. He'll be
there for longer. Does it have to be MVP's or bust?
I think he has to get one
Well okay
Actually no
Here's okay
You are right
If he gets to another finals
Then I think we can
Kind of like dip off
Level up the playing field
Yeah
Because Steve Nest
They were never able to get over the hump
So
Yeah yeah
Yeah I don't see him
I don't see him
Rattling off MVP's in the future
With the guys that are currently
In the league ahead of him
So it would have to be
Playoff success
I'll say it's possible
But I'm not gonna bet on it
Yeah
He'll have to do some insane shit
Not insane shit
But he'll have to do some real wizardry
With that roster
Bradley Beals back gotta be
He has to put Bradley Beals back
And he has to put vibranium
Into Bradley Beals back
In order to get that shit straight
But I don't see that happening
Okay
Next one
Deeran Fox
Who is there
It doesn't take a lot to be
The King's Goat
It doesn't take shit bro
Listen, low-key, he already might be the king's ghost.
Oh, God.
Nah, I mean, listen, he's going to have to win a playoff series in order to do that.
That's the bar.
She ended a 16, 17-year drought.
What do you expect?
Listen, win a playoff series, maybe get to the conference finals.
We'll see what happens.
Hey, maybe get a single triple double.
Maybe scored 25 points twice in a row.
That'll do it for the king.
Y'all are insane.
that's kind of
get a bar's
I'm gonna say it's real
yeah
he definitely does
yeah I'll say say that yes
he can be the king's go
if he brings them success
that they haven't seen
in like decades
yeah
a singular conference finals
appearance
he can make that happen
I don't know if you can
but anyways
next up
jaw Morant
hmm
I'm gonna say
that's completely up to him
whether or not he wants to be
the grizzlies goat
He can be the grizzlies goat
Or he didn't run out
That's relax
Yeah
He's all the talent in the world
That's not the issue
He only has Zibo
Tony Allen and Markasol in his way
Let's be real for a second
He said Tony Allen in there
He said Tony Allen over Mike Holly
All I know
That he needs to at least play games
for him to be the team's goat.
So we will see what happens down the line.
It's very doable.
I'm going to say yes, he definitely can.
Will he?
TBD.
He can need to go.
Let me see me stop myself again.
Played out jokes.
Yeah, but.
Yeah, I think John definitely is a town
to eventually be the team's goat.
He's already the most talented player
in that franchise's history.
So there's a clear path over there.
How dare you say that over Shane Battier?
Shane Battiate, bald ass.
No, I'm good.
All right, last one
Zion Williamson
Who is this team's goal?
No. C-B-3
surpassing him or
Ant? Anthony Davis, nah.
He doesn't have it. I'm out.
You're out? I'm out. I'm out.
He will not be the Pelicans goat.
Louie, you want to talk about low bars.
I'll get, never mind, never mind,
All his own hits are going to come up.
I mean, again, it's leg jaw.
He certainly has a talent to.
Does he want it bad enough?
Does he have a desire to be the Pelicans goat?
I'm not sure.
He won't.
He ain't got it.
He's in year five now and we still have serious questions about him.
This should not be happening.
Yeah, that conversation's over.
We should, the only question is, is he going to be a multiple time all-star?
And that's it.
But as for a team goat?
That's out the question.
I don't want to take it out the question because the bar is so low still.
But CP3 is a bar.
That's a pretty high bar.
It's a Cb3.
Yeah, but he didn't do shit for that organization for real in the playoffs.
So it's like how high, how low, how high can the bar be?
It's not the high at all.
CB3 carry them through Katrina.
What is Zion carrying them through?
Shit.
Complete another embarrassment.
He's there at least.
He's trying, God damn it.
Is he trying?
Is he trying to be by 40?
He's not trying
And he turned around and he dropped 36
We don't care about that
He lost an eye
This is not really in the story
We don't care about that
His career is already tainted by that
You're right
That's the last one
And that's the end of the show
What should people comment
To show here
Ooh man
Why isn't Nikil laughing
He knows what they should comment
Nikiel, what should they comment?
You can decide twice in a row.
They should comment
Draymond is the goat.
Okay.
He's escaping.
You can comment that if you'd like.
This is the end of the show.
We'll see you all later.
All right.
