to understand that’s his life he does understand so can y’all guess the tag team partner for GG at this bowling event uh I’ll say go through the young guys you know you already said the young guys have to do this stuff oh ravia Scotty Pippen I was GNA say Jake laravia was in the building yeah and you told you told us the other one too it was no so it was only Jak it was GG and Jake the other two the other two were not there so it was GG and Jake hanging out bowling having a good time they’re both of them are cool that’s the first time I’ve seen Jake since he uh since he left he said he went to Hawaii for a little bit then he’s been here ever since it’s working out so they had a good time though it was those community events are always cool CU they interact with the kids what was that for what was the bowling event uh it was for uh the mentors program they have like event for like the mentors and mentees where they in if you’re in the program you get a chance to hang out with the like a couple players in the summertime so and so GG and laravia showed up for that one who you think was the best bowler out of them two laravia yeah yeah I think about for a second Tom yeah actually no wait wait wa wait no GG won GG won hold on GG had a best score better score let me I got the score right here hold on cuz we asked Jake before he was like you think you going to bowl and jakeob was like 300 like no you’re not bro you’re not going Bowl 300 but he can bro he can put some spin on the ball it he was pretty good so the final scores were yeah Gigi had a 95 and yeah Jake he 95 yeah and his uh that’s terrible it was horrible his last his that that’s Jake that’s GG oh and then the last couple frams Jake picked it up he ended up with a 120 120 my kids could beat that yeah dang bro why are they so bad at bowling yeah yeah I asked him not me bro that’s pathetic yeah what do you expect from these dudes are you a professional bowler I could beat 120 go get 120 right now really yeah easy come on that’s a low score y are that good at B you don’t have to be that good at balling you you got be that good yeah what you think your average scor is in Bowling I don’t know what do you think I am some kind of nerve did you think I’m a nerd you think I got an average score what’s your mean what’s your mean score bro what’s your mean no nerd I no nerd what’s your mean score my own mean score your mean score bro yeah it was cool bro I’m mean with it I was good this love to see our guys are hanging out cuz you never we never get to see them in the summertime I really don’t know if I could beat 120 I could I could beat 120 right now you think so left-handed I mean bothh handed bothh handed that’s crazy yeah uh but right so you actually a good bowler I’m better than 120 I’m better than 12 I took bowling in college I did not bowling University of Memphis I got three credit hours Billy Hardwick we went to Billy Harvest like every Monday Wednesday Friday amazing class I took bowling I got hey I was good at it I did not take bowling but I’m not an idiot so I can pull over 120 right talking about said I’m not an idiot you got to be an idiot to idiot bowling under 120 Jak ain’t going to get an extension bowling a 120 that’s crazy a tough scene for our guys yeah shout out to them man all right so I heard you talking about for for people that don’t know and uh uh didn’t get the Gary talking about it earlier and you even talked about it a little bit with Jessica about the Joe Cooper yesterday as Devon is on his way this right after we get off the air two big stories broke one National which is JJ reck becoming the head coach of the Lakers which is not all that surprising considering that’s been a name associated with them for a long time and I talked a lot about that on the mismatch podcast with Kevin I’ll just say inmation basketball wise and him being in the league for as long as he had and all that kind of stuff um this a he’s a smart guy and he’s got a good relationship with the people that matter most on that team and I don’t think that it’s I I think he could be a good basketball coach it would not surprise me at all if he’s a good basketball coach all of the outside stuff is the stuff that would be at least concerning and and that is you never know how a coach is going to react to severe criticism and for the first time second thing is being LeBron coach is been a entirely thankless proposition you will get no credit and you will get all the blame that’s just been for every coach along the way um except for maybe tyo but even Eric bolstra if you go back in time you know history remembers this differently they tried to run him out you know I mean and he’s been and I think most people would consider him as good if you lose with LeBron on your team you’re horrible and if you win you just got to be LeBron’s coach as Frank vogle Frank vogle was gone within two years of winning a title for God’s sakes Darin H made the West finals with a team that had no business being in the west finals um and he’s already gone right so that’s the thing and the biggest thing is the politics of it all that when when Jerry West died I explained to you guys about how before Jerry post Jerry we had a mess in terms of like uh lines of communication who’s actually in charge here and it’s as they always say too many cooks in the kitchen whoever’s voice is the loudest is the one that that decision is going to Hing John rather then right so it’s like whoever’s got the owner’s ear that day and if you read like how they kind of came to JJ reck it’s very like okay bro who calls the shots here right is it rinka is it Genie bus cuz like two like the stakeholders had all met with JJ reick and all this stuff but the only ones that met with Dan Hurley were Rob binka and jeie bus and jeie really wanted Dan Hurley but then you have Linda rambus and Kurt Ram it’s like like how do you negotiate all that and the other one that was weird it was like jeie really wanted Dan what but then they only offered 70 million if you really want Dan Hurley 70 million was never getting it done right so it’s just all it to me it just reads like a too many cooks in the kitchen who do I have to align myself with here cuz I pinka he ain’t the guy that’s going to sit next to the owner and when things turn to crap says it’s the roster and I got to fix this roster he’s the one that’s going to say it’s the coach cuz we know he’s gonna say it’s the coach because he said it the coach twice three times already you know like that’s always and it’s like who who has that power right is it Curt and Lim to rambus when they talk to Genie bus like who do I have to align myself with here you know what I mean like who’s calling the shots you know you know where else this is like um Texas I’ve had coaches tell me like that there’s a lot of great things about the Texas job but the pro I had one guy who was uh a candidate for Texas turned it down and he was like you don’t know who you have has the juice that’s right it’s like there’s too many people there’s too many boosters and if your buddies with this booster then this booster hates you and it’s like there’s just too many it’s a real thing to Na and it’s difficult right and I do think that that you know look all their decisions are not great it’s it’s it’s a great thing that they put in place here when when Jason Wexler and Zack kinman and that whole group took over is there is a there’s a lineage of you know what I mean like there’s no there’s no debate on like who’s got final say on stuff right and there’s not some kind of massive open line of communication with the owner right that’s always very difficult right is when there everybody had Michael Heisley ear including me I mean that’s it’s the way it was yeah you know he would come hang out with us in our studio and ask me my opinion on everything and it’s like okay this is probably not what you want like but that’s how you end up drafting Tony Ren and that’s how you end up drafting I don’t think it’s bad to listen to a lot of people but it is not smart to to value their opinion well even in that one it said the one of the reasons that the JJ thing is because of Mike sheski like what the hell like okay that’s fine but it’s like nobody thinks it’s weird that you might have asked Mike cheski what he thinks about this situation right but the fact that that is like one of the people you consult on right like that you could theoretically Genie bus could talk to mik sheski who she has a relationship with because her dad tried to woo him years ago she could walk away from that going you know what I think we actually really need to hire JJ reick whatever when maybe Ro pinka is like you know what James bgo might be the best fit for ad and the rest of the guys and whatever it’s like I don’t know man you wonder who’s got the juice and that’s what JJ is gonna have to figure out because there’s going to be the first article that bill platy writes saying this is what you get when you hire a guy that’s never coach a basketball game yeah and he’s super online too so he’s going to like try to clap back to people and they’ll call him LeBron’s friend super on when it gets tough it will be really bad right and you’ve got a two and six stretch in eight games it’s because it will happen because you’re dealing with the team whose best players are LeBron and AD who and during an 82 game regular season they’re going to take a stretch off where they’re not going to be that look when and Darin ham experiences there’s no honeymoon bro when you coach a franchise like that they believe he can be Eric spoler and Pat Riley well that means you that means you have to live through the mistakes and the growing and Y and so I was talking to benett about this earlier cuz you know this I know this that means they have to at least hear it they know what they know what people are saying oh you just hired LeBron’s podcast buddy to coach I if you were Genie bus or rambus or anybody who has juice in that or would it make you say we have to be patient with this otherwise I know it’s going to be mocked that’s right we have to let him see this through yep wherever it goes we got to write it out right I I wonder if that helps JJ r he says at the beginning though I know it’s harder to do than it is it’s easier to say than it is to do you know the other one people say this about is like uh rebuilding or uh yeah going through a rebuild it’s like all right we’re gonna you know we’re going to move this guy for picks and it’s going to be hard but like the payout and everybody’s like okay yeah I know what we’re doing and then you get in the middle of it it’s like this sucks I know and there’s a look there’s a coach that’s about to get paid $65 million not to coach right right that’s how bad it can suck you know what I mean um so that news broke yesterday and then the other news uh as right after we got off the air that article on The Daily memphian dropped about Joe Cooper and Joe Cooper saying it was a miserable terrible experience heartbreaking experience as Memphis kid that went to Memphis and it all uh it all went to hell and he talked about the dysfunction within the program and he talked about how Penny didn’t even call him back or text him back and then he missed the transfer portal and all this stuff and so when I’m reading it the first time it’s there’s no question it’s salacious and you’re like oh wow right like this is not a good look and and I get it right for sure it’s not a good look to have anybody dog you out and then you know the more I thought about it and I was listening to you guys talk about it this morning I think I I think I did end up by yesterday afternoon more on the Jessica side in the sense of bro no offense to him but let’s say you traded uh Jake laravia at the whatever at the at you know at the draft right and then Jake laravia talks about what a or David Rody let’s say we David Rody last year and then David Rody talks about what how dysfunctional it was and they let J just run the show they like you know mean I’d be like shut up bro like shut up yeah stop stop like you know I mean like you weren’t even this dude he wasn’t even on scholarship like you’re the guy that’s trashing Penny Hardway in the Pro like it is somewhat the messenger it just is and it’s like you know and again they have not had the success but you when you were covering freaking root would have unloaded on the program you wouldn’t have even printed it right you wouldn’t you would not have printed it bro if Nathaniel Ru is crazy I will tell you the they said this was bogus this was you wouldn’t even PR thing I ever did to this story um involved Kina young do you remember the name and it made cow look horrible horrible so ke they kept giving me the runaround like they they had signed Kendrick Perkins and Ken young they were high school teammates best friends and it was clearly like their signing Kina to get Kendrick um but then Kendrick entered the draft and then it was like the recruiting class shows up but ke Ken young wasn’t here and I would ask John about it he’d be like oh yeah everything’s fine then I’d as Tony Barbie about he be like everything’s fine they just give me the runaround it was so finally I’m like you know what everything’s not fine clearly right I’m going to start making phone calls and this was in a matter of days I call I finally get Ken Young’s dad on the phone and he’s like I’s like they’re telling me everything’s fine but it doesn’t feel like it is cuz you he’s like oh no we loaded up a U-Haul we rented a U-Haul loaded it up with my son’s stuff and we’re traveling to Memphis and uh on on about to tr travel to Memphis and we got a call from one of the assistant coaches and it said um you don’t need to come here and the pull out quote the big quote was John caliper hurt my son so that was the big quote like cover of the thing John caliper hurt Ken Young’s dad John caliper hurt my son something like that John was Furious but this was one where I just let the father of a recruit say the Memphis basketball staff they had some real scumbags now did you did you have a contentious relationship at the time to the point where they were not were they lying to you about it or certainly you probably checked against it to yeah I was so motivated back then like I I I did a bunch of stories like that like I went and got the Shawn banks fight got K I would go and no no no but I’m saying did you even give them the opportunity to say what’s going on with Ken young do you remember I I yeah I of course I did and they I just knew that I don’t know that they were lying but they weren’t forthcoming yeah and they weren’t telling me they just didn’t want it to be reported on they just wanted it to disappear corre for ke youngt never show up and no big deal and who cares and instead but that was a messed up story to the point where it’s 20 years later and I still remember oh it was a big deal when Kendrick Perkins said I’m going pro instead of his best friend cuz the dad was in the paper saying this is uh this is messed up the whole time you know what I mean like I get that we were a packaged deal but you’re mess up somebody’s life here the whole time the Memphis staff would go out of their way and if I remember correctly it was John Steve rockeford Tony Barbie Derrick Kellog it might have been that that initial staff and they went they would go out of their way to say this is not a package deal we want Keen Young no matter what but then when it came time and Kendrick wasn’t coming they pushed him away and what’s hilarious is keina Young he had to go to Joo because it was too late in the process and became like a real player oh yeah yeah end up being good like in hindsight they should have taken him y but they didn’t because they were so mad like like they got they were just pissed off spiteful kind yes yes it was that yeah I don’t know how I I and you can’t say probably at the time bro he got his 50 Grand shut up oh Kendrick Perkins has told some stories yeah about some the bag being dropped off I’ll let Kendrick tell it if you should tell Bro Look if you’re getting a a guy and his buddy to both commit to your school from Texas to go to Memphis and he’s like one of the best players in the world oh yeah one of them is a five star Center who’s you know didn’t even come to college right like we can all like laugh at Kendrick Perkins career if you want to but like that was a high SCH All American he also an NBA champion yeah yeah yeah yeah he was a dog I mean yeah again he all of the media guys get their careers than I think underrated yeah you know what I’m saying Paul is the absolute Apex of this like Paul Pierce is one of the greatest players in NBA history everybody think he’s a goofy bastard right right now if he would have never done media Paul Pierce is considered did you see the other day I guess it was Charles Barkley walking in Arena and like people are like Charles Barkley’s career gets goofed on right if they go back and watch his highl all time great a dog so like you say you always tell the story like Pat like the Patrick Beverly how many points do you think Patrick Beverly averag right and it’s so you goof on Kendrick Perkin’s career Kendrick Perkin senior year of high school he averaged 27 a half points 16 and a half rebounds and eight blocks per game in Texas y’all not bu like them bro y’all not like them yeah so anyways so now look it is one of these evaluate the message Don’t Kill the Messenger thing but I can’t help that it was a walk-on I just can’t and I a memph kid but it’s like he had time to know I go back to that if root would have been trashing the pro it’s like bro I guess the only the only thing I was a lot of it does come off of sour grapes the there were two things that I went like uh I’d rather this not exist one walk on or not that’s the stepson of one of your former teammates he’s a Memphis kid if he’s texting and calling you you should you should take you should take that I mean I’m willing to listen to like well the reason we didn’t connect is because I agree with that but if that is true if that’s true I think that’s not great yeah and the other quote but the other thing is my bet would be p penny would be like stop the cap right we met he knows he wasn’t you know what I’m saying yeah like what are we doing here like he could yes he could call he could text me whatever but this whole my guess would be him go he would say to you he was in limbo like I let him walk on last year I even played him some like stop already enough right you know what I’m saying like there’s another side to the story I’m willing to be open-minded to the other side but on a very surface level I think of one of your that’s where he lost me a little bit though the Side Story of and I missed the portal well that’s his fault come on you didn’t know what your situation was if I that if I I said this if I were advising him like that because he lost me there too like and I missed the portal well you know what if your coach won’t call you back or text you back you know what the answer is get in the portal all right so that’s on you but I didn’t like that if he’s telling the truth I T Penny I was trying to be respectful Penny I called him I text him I got no response that I don’t love that yeah okay and then the other one it’s just a quote about being in the program and he was like we had scandals we had ego problems we had character issues it was just really hard every day it was a weight when you walked into that gym and that’s one of those things we all know is true but a guy verbalized there it is and it’s just like that that is the that is what people think about Memphis basketball right now that it’s just like man what is going on over there and this quote on the record quote from a former player just sort of reinforces for sure no we know that there is constant drama and we don’t have guys verbalized thing that it’s constant drama but we know we watch it play out every year it’s obvious every time on the court the part that scared me about it cuz like yeah I want to like I’m with pin always but like the part scared me because I got homies have walked on like basketball programs everywhere and they always say bro you could always tell a head coach by the way they treat the wons like no matter what right if you treat the the lowest person on the roster the like of course you got the guys that are up that you paid all that money but like you got to you feel like you should treat everybody the same way if you treat like Joe Coopers of the world of course he played him but you treat him like yo man like going on somewhere bro you you’re just like that’s the I’m like come on bro Penny it’s a Memphis kid because but I’m I’m sympathetic to this on some level again I’m willing to hear the other side because I mean you could probably go to anywhere I’ve ever worked sure and find somebody and they’ be like yeah I worked Gary parish for two years I’d see him you know twice a week and he barely said seven words to me well I barely say seven words to anybody you know like that that so is that was I being rude to this person was I was just being me and that’s what I’m saying if it’s not somebody now I get it that this kid was on the team whatever but if I don’t buy some of what you’re saying it’s hard to buy the rest of what you’re saying and I don’t buy that he’s you would be anybody would be most concerned about their own situation that’s just the way it is you wouldn’t assume anything especially if you were a walk on you wouldn’t assume anything mhm you would you know what I mean and this idea that you could not have spoken to the coach about this to me is that’s goofy everybody has I I don’t buy that Penny Hardway just refused to speak to him and like like you know I mean like he dumped him and like doesn’t know his name anymore like I just don’t buy that for like three weeks I don’t buy that right I just I will say like again I’m willing to there’s multiple sides to all this stuff but we have had had like Billy Richmond make some Penny comments and now there’s Rodney Nome stepson making some Penny there’s a lot of there’s a lot of feeling from the inside there’s a lot of people saying a lot of the same stuff all the time that’s what I’m saying bro like I just like like people that clean the clean the studio every day like there’s people like yo you speak to everybody like treat everybody the same way like whether it’s the top or the bottom well and I that’s the part that’s the part I got an issue with I got you and I also think that there is a I would like to be treated a little differently this dude if you don’t mind would you want me to get you a throne bro I would take a throne sure I feel like he I feel like he has also changed too because of the extreme criticism yeah that he feels he doesn’t feel the same way when he walks into a gym he doesn’t feel the same way when he’s walking around town because the program has been a disappointment just has like in terms of the expectations are crazy here and but he hasn’t he hasn’t met lower expectations than crazy ones right and so Andy’s a favorite son you know this is a guy that there’s not a place you he I me if you were ranking the most beloved memphians he’s at the top yes yeah literally at the top is the top of the but imagine walking around that City and not feeling beloved anymore and so you change and I do think that you know there’s still a lot of people that love him and want him to you know I mean but he doesn’t when you’re constantly hearing about everybody’s got an opinion on something and then you know know stuff like this gets printed and it’s about whatever it’s like God man I promise you today penny is pissed off at Joe Cooper and probably at par for even quoting him you know so that’s going to be another thing I don’t know if you saw Penny’s quotes from yesterday he did a he did an interview somewhere with um oh I got the name of it I got you hold Marcus Taylor of Taylor May Sports yeah so like proper credit he did the interview with them and it was a lot of I just read the transcript I didn’t hear it I just read it the quotes I think Jason muns got them at commercial appeal.com but it’s a lot of stuff like the media this the media that he’s very it’s that it’s yes and and part of me just wants to be like what I just talked about with JJ RIT right what any anybody that goes from being beloved to criticize so this what I say like when I dude the media is not your problem the media is still trying to love you it’s just like this has been a mess but I totally understand why he feels that way because I can’t imag I can’t imagine on a much lower level what it’s like to have everybody be like you’re the best you’re the best and then all of a they’re like coming at you and it’s like whoa I told this story it will get to you I told this story many times on the show I you know very well that after I left radio and I came here um I started that job with the ringer for Simmons company and I just 99% of the feedback I get in Memphis is good it’s positive you know what I mean I’d become whatever I had become within the city and with my audience and on social media platforms or whatever else and nobody knew me to now I’ve got this like possible worldwide audience and 99% of that audience doesn’t know who I am and I am getting destroyed I mean it’s like this is an AM talk radio host this is a guy doing for what the hell did Bill Simmons hire blah and I’m just G and I started reading it on the internet and it was the first time in over a decade that I had felt that way and I text Bill and I’m like man I am so sorry just stick with me I’ll get better blah blah blah and he was like what the f are you talking about what and I was like I’m seeing that what people are saying like he’s like you’re fine just keep doing what you’re doing you social media can really impact you no I so I felt and I was 30 something years old and I felt that and so I I can only imagine now imagine for Penny it’s in his own City yes it’s hard this is the place that you’re totally beloved right where 15year olds run up and ask for your autograph now 15y olds run up and go what the hell’s wrong with the tiger yeah why can’t you get sweet 16 what’s wrong with the tiger know it’s hard and and so when he I would I wish he hadn’t walled himself off so much and taken a sort of a it’s me against the world because like this whole world here wants him we all wanted him to have this job we all want him to succeed we still do I would prefer him not to like get jaded but I understand how it happened I understand how it happen like one day you’re everywhere you go in the city people love you and not to make me out to be anything more than what I am but like I am on radio every day saying Penny Hardway needs to be the next coach at Memphis you got a fire and it’s like Penny Penny and then I’m like well hey what is this guy doing you’re like oh I hold like what happened yeah that would be hard it would be hard it would be hard for me I I know it would be hard for me so I understand why it’s hard for him he’s pulling out in like a mayback at midnight madness and it’s there’s 20,000 people in there and the whole thing and then and now they’re doing it in a field that uh on campus with nobody some of the same people who used to say you are the best thing in the world and you should have this job now believe you shouldn’t that must be an impossible thing to deal with that would piss me off to be honest it would make you mad yeah it make you mad especially like you said especially this is where I live this is like my you the Beloved it makes you ready for this it will make you think everybody hates you even even if they don’t I went I go through this sometimes on social media there was one a long time ago I don’t even remember what the core of it was but I was just getting and it’s funny to look because I you know I was a I was a bowler maker this whole year but in previous times like Purdue fans I just remember them coming at I don’t even I genuinely don’t remember what it was about but they were just and I created this impression like man Purdue fans hate me Purdue fans hate me what you forget is that most Purdue fans don’t even know you they’re not living on Twitter this is just a hand this is a and so I took it from Purdue fans hate me to Matt pay must hate me and I remember then I’m at somewhere and I see Matt payter and like I like Matt Painter and I’ve always had we got and I was like nervous I was like oh God he hates me and I was like it was unavoidable and I was like hey man and he was like GP and he like and we it was like No And I just had this Moment of clarity like he doesn’t even know that I think Purdue fans hate me cuz he doesn’t even know that that’s a thing none of it it’s not real yeah but I was carrying around these very real feelings well the best thing that ever happened to me honestly was kids yeah I’m not kidding I always say this about like you want to find people that don’t care it’s because if you go home they don’t know they don’t care at all and it’s like I am surrounded by people that have no idea about the it really makes it feel insignificant oh yeah honestly because my wife has no idea and my kids have no idea what any says about me I mean we can be at dinner and a guy’s like it’s my D JJ reck the goat and it’ll be like I’ll read it I’ll be like what the hell and then you look up and you’re like you know what what doesn’t even matter whereas when I did not have that I would sit there at night and be like oh my God everybody hates me oh it’s like you know like it was this time it was this time last weekend like Illinois fans are just going bananas and that lasted oh they were on your ass like back pockets hard I mean like and anybody associated with me I mean it was I mean the fact that you tried to put Terence Shannon and was they was my is going crazy but to your point to your point like I told you last Friday you were like I was like it’s annoying but like as soon as I get out of here I’m going to the golf course and I’m going to turn on my music and I’m not even going to see this stuff in a minute and to your point like then we then I went to Dallas with my family my wife to this moment I don’t think knows anything about tan Shannon I don’t even think she knows that name she the whole that the whole world that’s me doing it again it’s just Illinois fans are why whatever they are they’re in uh they’re committed to the cause and there’s 20 of them well it was more than that yeah bro it was like a tell yeah it was like a it was a lot of them bro a lot of them were his neck but like as as soon as you can just do this it’s not it’s not your real world it’s not your real world it’s the old Tyler the Creator the the cyber bullan close your computer a c how is Cy buul a thing close your computer right what is wrong with you but cyber bully but there’s a real lesson in there just like clo these people don’t matter well you know who

they think that you should do the next when the ringer does their next top 100 players list you should do it yourself oh I guess competition to it cuz aist just came out oh and they’re mad about the the Grizzlies where the Grizzlies are I told how many times I just tell everybody just let it be there the best thing that can happen is to be underrated yes I agree yeah so so frustrating when everybody’s like oh I can’t believe they have him rank behind to and toe like believe it it’s the best thing ever because then if he becomes one of the top five players in the league you can go back you want this driving them you want the chip on their shoulder the worst thing is having massive expectation yeah we got four players in the top of Honda uh obviously it’s smart jiren Bane and J damn right brother so smart in the 90s smart is 80 886 86 and then I’ll say I’ll say J is 16 30 oh God okay okay that’s that’s that’s even better 30 30 30 players in the NBA are not better than John morand go watch his freaking highlights 30 30 bro they smoking that good stuff bro I love it 30 and then uh so I’ll say the next will be jiren and he’ll be like in the 40s 46 and then Bane will be in the 60s no they gave they gave the Dez a little bit of love what they do 47 oh so three top 50 players yeah so we got 12 jiren yeah they got yeah 30 is insane bro who is I just tell me who are 28 and 29 I got you give me a second go we going to mark it down for the season I just want I just want to know who 28 and 29 oh let me see I got the filter by team on right now I’m tweaking hold on give me a second I put the filter on uh 28 and 29 are wait why okay hold on hold on I’m I’m broken right now oh my I don’t know how to turn that filter by team off are you serious okay I got I got you all right here we go you literally do the internet for a living all right I got you 28 is Lori Markin 29 is Paulo banero and 30 is 12 I mean Paulo banero at least is super awesome and is like the number one player on a good team yeah yeah Lori marinan is the number one player on a rat team yeah yeah then 27’s Dame 26 Damonte sabonis 25 Kai 24 bam 23 Paul George 22 de Fox I gotta be honest this is now getting super impressive in terms of the strength of the league seriously I don’t look at that you can look at it through the prism of John morand is better than these guys I look at it and go damn man a lot of freaking good players if those are if those are the ones from 20 to 30 it used to be if you were ranked 30 you were behind like you know like Jamal M who’s a fringe Allstar Uh Kevin Kevin Martin yes that kind of like yeah Kevin martiny yeah yeah something like that yeah where it’ be like oh my God you’re ranking him behind this guy or CJ McCollum right that’s perfect yeah that’s perfect uh that level but no I always like anything that comes out where the Grizzlies are disrespected we lived with the disrespect for so long I and I and I was always wildly uncomfortable when everything flipped and you then were not likable anymore the disrespect comes once you have the success right and so like you know it started a little bit it started a little bit after the uh the Anthony Edwards thing started huge for uh for Luca donic right after he just I mean like he just led a team to the NBA finals but the farther you get then the more criticism you will inevit get too if you falter and so they they got wiped out and it was a terrible terrible finals yeah yeah and a’s number eight on this list Anthony aage is eight okay well I mean look it’s another thing to drive John Mor John Moran will probably have a 30 tattoo on his forehead by the end of the day knowing him you got a camp Tom you got a camp tomorrow morning yeah so the Camp’s not Sunday it’s tomorrow morning oh it is so look you’re going to get him in the tunnel next year going it 29 players better than me like going do this every after every he may change his number to 30 he might he really 30 trust me these are the best things that happened yeah I love it you don’t want me coming up with a ranking that puts him super high that does nobody any good for me to be out there like the best thing to do is say everybody’s sleeping on blank you know what I mean it’s uh that 30 is a little little little sick on mode though Rudy go bear 34 I’m gonna say this I am glad that Oklahoma City made their deal yesterday the Alex Caruso for Josh giddy deal and Josh giddy who I have been a big fan of as a basketball player I was I mean for his size and his ability to do everything outside of shoot threes he is an outstanding basketball player who I was super high on and I spoke about this a few weeks ago when I was talking uh when I was talking to you guys about that quarterback list and I’m like I’m I’m I’m sorry I can’t look at the guy without thinking that he’s a freaky ass when it comes to DeShaun Watson I can’t and the same has beeld giddy yeah it just is second biggest I saw the video of the young girl saying I just blink Josh G and it’s like bro I’m never getting that out of my head yeah whether the NBA found anything the cops found anything she decided she wasn’t going to be talking about anything like this whole like key likes young chicks is like it just creeps you out you know what I mean it’s like bro you’re freaky bro and so it’s a thing and he’s still an outstanding basketball player and he was part of a key part of the number one seed in the western conference right yeah I’m not saying they got worse by making the trade but I am saying is his value plummeted plummeted he’s still a really good player how pull this deal off he’s not a great fit with that with that team because he is a guy that needs the ball in his hands in order to in order to be able but he is an outstanding passer and he’s a really good rebounder like he can kind of do everything and he’s a good player to have on your team but Caruso is a way better fit and Caruso is a fit on every single team in the NBA and is exactly the kind of guy you want for playoffs right you want those kind of guys on your roster he can get you by when somebody goes down he can start for you he can come off the bench for you he can guard the other team’s best player which is the most important thing when it comes to being able to have 20 something minutes of me guarding your best player and he can guard multiple positions like the guy is a a great and he and he’s a high he’s also a better athlete credit for I mean he cracked all over us last year in our game against uh against Chicago you remember that went down the lane and just dunked on everyone I was like God don’t remind me he’s the kind of guy that flips games man like yeah high energy and I’m glad that Oklahoma City made that deal I did think they would have to give up a pick because as I told Kevin last night his value his value was super low gidy was his value was low I thought though I thought that you were Chicago is going to be able to get a pick with giddy because they’ve got a million picks so it’s like you can one you can give one away without it killing you and the other thing is you know you take a step back and you go all right who wants this deal to happen more everybody knows that giddy doesn’t fit with them for the long term and they’re not going to be able to pay him right and you really want Alex Caruso cuz Alex kuso is we’re we’re willing to move Alex Caruso but he might end up somewhere else and I would have thought you could have gotten more than just giddy honestly I think you could have gotten one of those picks for him especially when you know you’re going to have to pay giddy now yeah right because his contract is going to be coming up now they’re going to have to pay Caruso on on the other side but they’ve got guys that are wildly outperforming their contracts they are in the situation we were in which is they have Jaylen Williams they have Chad holgren and they’re on low contracts that they going to vastly overperform and so they’re going to be able to pay Alex Caruso um a deal in the offseason but I’m or when it comes up I was glad they did it because it shows like bro they’re going for it they are like they’re not trying to be anywhere else and they’re going to they saw what their team was and here’s one one more step of getting better and so you got to look at it and you got to go bro that’s who you’re competing against so they’re throwing Shay and Caruso and jayen Williams that’s three all NBA defenders in your back and Dort and Chad and you know what I mean like and Kon Wallace and like these other guys that they’ve got on their team and it’s like yo yo like that I love that you got three guys but like and maybe four but like you better load up bro you better load up because they’re going to be loaded up CU by the time it’s all said and done the roster is going to keep getting better cuz they’re trying to probably get a center too just like you are that’s right and so right and they’re and yes and they’ve got assets as well and so it’s like here is your peer and they’re trying to get there faster than you and you In fairness and this is what everybody has casually forgotten and this is why they have become underrated because of the disaster that was last year they’ve casually forgotten that they were the two seed with the youngest team in the league backto back years and we’ve already been in the second round of the playoffs with this team so what did they do right that the Grizzlies didn’t do they just barked a lot right what did the Grizzlies you know what I mean and and so you would imagine that you’ll be able to get back to being one of the best teams in the western conference with with if you can keep your guys healthy but I was glad that Oklahoma City made that deal because it just shows like hey they’re they’re willing to part with it’s not easy even if he’s not an ideal f it’s not easy to get rid of one of your major players Josh gidy was a major player for them who really helps on the rebounding front too because he is he is a great rebounder for his position and they didn’t have a big guy outside of Chad Chad was literally the only big guy which did show up but I mean there are a lot of similarities they need a center as well like they the same way we talked about how and and and it also is instructive on the on the smart front same reason they want Caruso is the same reason you wanted Marcus Smart everybody knows you need those kind of guys those are those are Championship uh you know those are win a lot of games guys and so the same way we say man God they got the same fraking thing it is a mirror image where you go they got Shay and we got J and they’ve got jayen and we’ve got Bane and they’ve got Chad and we’ve got jiren and it’s like they got to fill their three and they got to fill their five and we’re going to see at the end of this summer who comes out better on this who comes out better when it’s time to cuz they’re going to get a five and they’re going to get a three that’s what’s going to happen cuz that’s exactly what we want we want the same and it’s weird we’re running parallel to them we want the same thing we are three be our three best players and our core are our point guard our shooting guard and our power forward same as them all young obviously Gils Alexander is a little bit older but they’re if they’re going to bolster what they’ve got it’s going to be with their thre man and it’s going to be with their fiveman and they have assets too same thing and so it’s like we’re going to look up at the end and go all right who was able to do this better right let’s go baby cuz Caruso is like they’re smart yeah yeah he is same thing yeah same thing better shooter though huh better shooter he shoots 40% from three correct yeah no that in a high clip he’s perfect at them and Kayan Wallace is going to be a year better and I mean like and Grizzlies are bringing back Brandon Clark and I don’t want to like but I’m just saying when you’re thinking about the the the both franchises going forward it is kind of eerie yeah and they both have young coaches that they allowed to grow with their team you know them with dagnal us with Taylor Jenkins and the only difference between dagnal and Jenkins is that dagnal was given coach of the the year for his level of success whereas Taylor was robbed by the disgraceful Monty Williams Willam yeah preach because either that award should retroactively be given to Taylor Jenkins or just delivered to Chris Paul one or the other yeah CU it obviously wasn’t your it wasn’t yours cuz everybody hates you bro including the Pistons kid Taylor Jing is respect look that’s a great it was a great move for Oklahoma City because they got somebody that can really be a part of their short rotation that can help them in playoff games and they weren’t going to be able to pay giddy any he was the odd man out on terms of the payment they’re gonna have to they’re gonna they’re paying guildes Alexander a fortune in an extension they’re gonna end up paying Jaylen Williams and Chad holgren a fortune it’s the same situation now we got very very lucky the fortune wasn’t truly the fortune was for Bane but it wasn’t for the other two yeah because jiren was coming off a year injury and because Jah didn’t make all NBA because of his suspension and so as I’ve chronicled many times on the show it’s a100 million probably honest like legit saved a $ hundred million in terms of what the going rate would be typically for players of that caliber yeah just given when one of them signed their contract and that the other one got in trouble so he didn’t get the Boost I mean it’s crazy bro that like we talk about like robberies like the NBA doesn’t really have like any like robberies to like kind of like build off of and that k your ass rivalries rivalries I BR rivalries bro there you go you bro rivalries bro rivalries she just got to slow down slow down rival slow down right SL it fast messing me up the way you laid it out though like that’s that is what the NBA should be able to lean into right these two young upand cominging teams of course you got Anthony ARS in them that’s right like these two teams on the same path like they’re doing the same thing like this could be a 10year rivalry rivalry want to be put Li words I’m going to makeing sure this is rivalry rivalry it’s going to be a hell of a rivalry put a little Dash in between it rivalries cuz yeah bro cuz we we actually we want smoke like our team want smoke with folks like we want to like we want that energy oh everybody else is like well and here’s and here’s the deal here’s where the perception of Oklahoma City is and here’s where the perception of the Grizzlies is they are the same yeah they really are they really are but they are not considered the same now yeah yeah CU they they cop they cop off flow and everything bro and then when the comeback happens next year it can be a rivalry rivalry rivalry rivalry rivalry rivalry nobody hates that L more yeah that L is crazy that L is crazy shout out to the rivalries bro shout out to the it’s rivalry week going ESPN it’s let me do the the Sounders let me do the Sounders bro R week you know NBA the NBA probably they started doing it a couple years ago yeah like the Rivalry reek see bro I can’t do it y That’s crazy that that extra L is wild I just I say it without the last L bro just let me live my J bro come it’s gonna be hey Lamar bro it’s gonna be the uh what’s it called it’s G it’s going to be the uh undercard for the next Terence Crawford fight you versus rivalry you versus rivalry if you could read one one page of a Harry Potter book sound like Floyd Mayweather bro I sound insane it’s tough it’s tough bro so it appears Canard is the one who’s getting the most interest from the trade stuff so that’s a the Jake fiser stuff that came out today what did he say okay so San Antonio has made the E pick available while Memphis holding at nine remains a team to watch for a potential trade-up as the Grizzlies are known to be searching for front Court improvements uh and they have an eye for clinging Portland is also said to be high on clinging the Grizzlies also have a history of moving up in draft but the Grizzlies also believ to be open to moving back depending how the board ultimately unfolds on draft night the grizzly sources said have no interest in parting with Marcus Smart Memphis has received strong interest from rival teams about Luke Canard in advance of the the uh the upcoming decision on his 14.7 million contract and I would be depressed about smart too because he’s put down Roots here yeah he like trying to get involved that’s the interesting thing on that story which tells you that married got the kid now if that is true that tells you that hole that Kelly AO think is totally coming from the Houston side that they they want him and that’s a public negotiation tactic that they want him that this is they have no interest in trading I don’t understand what I mean I guess when you suck it doesn’t matter but like why they got they they made they got DeAndre Aon Robert Williams and like yeah like what you trying to do trying to do the Sacramento Kings from back in a couple years ago I guess you’re just trying to had like 800 power forwards I guess dra siners I mean I guess you’re just moving off of eighton and then you’re saying we want to move on with the Shaden sharp Donovan klling and Scoot Henderson because Robert William is not gonna play because he’s damage good right right he’s DG he’s got to be he’s probably going to be retired well and then the the whole Aon thing I mean I could imagine them being disgusted with what went on with him mean you saw that thing that what he said he sucked because he slept on an air mattress all year what bro he’s insane over okay no he’s trying to play on the we paid $30 million to what it’s just bizarre yeah yeah like he said he can’t make the game that is the one thing Monty Williams was probably right about is that that guy’s a goofy back that guy’s goofy yeah he wasn’t right about Jaylen Jaden Ivy and he wasn’t right about the other some other stuff but he he might have been right about DeAndre you see he’s playing for the Bahamas National Team bro they got a little Squad bro so that’s uh that’s my buddy from the Warriors Chris oh yeah he coaches that team Eric Gordon they’ve got they’ve got buddy hee they’ve got clay Klay Thompson yeah Bahamas has actually got a team why is Klay Thompson playing for the Bahamas I guess you can I mean he’s not playing for Team USA I think you can you can play for the Bahamas Right Said Evan Mo might be playing Isaiah Moy and then Nas Reed might also play with them because they got they got their lineage is from Bahamas so they might be able to play with them too so they might have a little Squad out there the Bahamas Team Canada St Clay’s probably playing with them because that’s where he goes on vacation he’s like wait y’all got a team he’s got a boat there so he’s got dual citizenship because he’s got a place in the Bahamas he’s like y’all y’all got a team say list Steph ain’t gonna let me play with Team USA so I’ll play with them you know what’s crazy about the clay thing I was listening to uh I was listening to a Windor to them talking about him this morning and about how you know as a free agent whatever and about how it’s you know they they’re explaining the second apron and about how you know it’s hurt feelings right they extend Wiggins they extend Draymond and then they’re trying to give him a two-year contract whatever but they said he like averaged it is it is odd when you were like a great and an all-time great M and I think they said he average 18 points and shot 39% from three Tom Clay like he’s still good he’s still like it is very okay I’m getting Ray Allen on the heat ask that’s kind of how it feels right like that’s the stage but you’re still getting a really like good player yep average 18 game shot 38% from from Trey L yeah I mean if he’s name’s not Klay Thompson a guy that averages 18 and shoots 38% from three we it’s just as compared to what we knew him to be exactly cuz and he also went and it’s also how the play offs or play in can we whatever your last game was can destroy you cuz he was 0 for 10 in that last game was and it’s like okay he’s buned cuz the last last seven years he’s averaged above 20 yeah the seven years before that average 20 game like it’s not like he’s watched no he Ain watched he just he just saying the old clay and he’s not he’s not the defender he used to he can’t Mo he can’t move he can’t he can’t move like he used to be a he do he do way too much of but a guy that just like I drive and kick it out to you and you knock down a three like he’s still yeah he can still do that for you he shot how many threes a game he shot nine threes a game last year shot the same same clip right he guy’s an alltime great shooter he shot 44% from three in 2014 God I mean 44% from three in the NBA again it’s like the the the Ray Allen thing right damn it’s like bro if I got this guy on my team and I a guy that I could throw it out to and he can bury a shot and space the floor for me I just don’t him over here so anyway what’s the Luke Canard part you never mentioned that they just said that Memphis has received interest from rival teams about Canard ahead of the decision okay so maybe that’s the guy that they’re getting calls about no but the same okay yeah but that may that may be the same thing as the smart deal it could be right people want him really bad type thing yeah we’re getting a lot of calls grizz’s putting that out there the Grizz putting that out there police call us about Luke Canard betray him no calls our our phone lines are busy everybody I look Luke Canard may very well be much more Val everybody I I’ve told you this there is a value associated with Luke Canard I could totally see them picking up the team option and then moving him yeah right I don’t know where he fits on our wing pecking roll pecking order right yeah if you’re playing Vince yeah right if you’re playing Vince and you’re also going to be trying to get GG Jackson on the floor and you’re getting Marcus Smart on the floor and it’s like okay are you where are the minutes at some you know what I’m saying are you my fourth Wing yeah you my third wing yeah you’re not my starting right like so I could see him having I mean unfortunately he provides something we desperately need which is shooting yeah so I am I many times when it comes to situations like this I can totally see uh or like I feel pretty strongly about like okay whether or not we should have this guy part of this going forward they could do anything with Canard and I would understand it if they kept him I would totally understand it it’s like bro every team that gets eliminated says we need more shooting yeah you think about like and you think about the way the playoffs played out and it’s like Dallas guarantee you wishes they had more shooting you know what I’m saying if they’re throwing that ball now again he can’t defend like him but it’s if they could have if Luca can drive and kick it out to Luke Canard instead of Derrick Jones Jr it’s a different world yeah now he may get scored on every time on the other end that’s totally possible but I’m just saying everybody needs shooting and this guy is not a good shooter he is the best he was number two in the NBA last year he’s like career 44% orite crazy crap it was him and what he does it’s him and Grayson all last year is number one and number two right and shoot shoot so I mean if you need somebody that can shoot the ball but you know what I mean like picking up his team option and then moving off of him and getting something that you think is is going to play more minutes for you the other thing with Luke and I’m a Luke fan he didn’t stay healthy either and he has not been the beacon of Health in his NBA career no he hasn’t it’s like they always say the best the best ability is availability he hasn’t been available either go look at his game logs yeah 39 how many times he played over 70 twice in his career rookie year rookie year in 1718 then 2122 he played 70 exct how many has he hit the 65 which is for awards twice well nope the the only times he’s played 63 twice I mean that’s a lot of the Season bro that’s a fourth of the Season he’s played 63 games twice he’s played 70 and 73 then 28 and 2019 35 24 for us then 39 last year for us what do his injuries be though and we also didn’t have him in the playoffs we lost him to the shoulder thing in the playoffs uh two years ago and we needed him badly against the Lakers to have any chance spacing was nasty in nasty so again luk Canad if he’s not he’s not going to be your like starting small forward and I don’t know with the Vince Revelation I just don’t know if I I don’t think you’re having s it would be surprising to have smart and Canard because that’s a combined you mean you’re talking 30 something million dollars of your cat being used for you know a assuming you’re going to probably start smart at three yeah you know what I mean and just put him on the best I I hope you told you told V in the summertime bro you need to be taking at least 500 shots a day because you can be that two-way cuz he shot 39% last year from three and like you told him in the summertime bro what you what we’re going to need you to do is be our two-way be able to hit shots shoot 100,000 shots a day because you can defend like crazy already just be able to when JW drives bow knock it down you know where Canard would be amazing Orlando yeah just like clay we talked about that with Clay CUA they’s hu they’re huge yeah and they’ve got all kinds of Defenders just they just need an outlet bro they got so much better when freaking Gary Harris started hitting shots Jo Joe was they put Joe Les out there they had Gary Harris and Jo on the court together in a playoff and it’s like but they could cover up for him yeah on defense cuz they got size everywhere and just him be the outlet gu he would be great there really yeah cuz he can dribble a littleit I wish wend Carter got paid more yeah balance it out a little bit so no no his contract is is O wend Carter’s contract is crazy like 12 million a year dude I mean that’s why that’s why you can’t get him just say 4year 50 million that’s crazy he get 13 so it going down so he got paid 13 this year he’ll get paid 11 next year and then 10 million is his last year in the contract it’s outrageous yeah that’s that’s crazy for for but I mean that would be the guy that I would I would take a swing at that yeah but I you’re just not prying him away for that dollar figure you’re not ping him away it’s just like they’re not prying him away for that dollar figure you you can oh he’d be perfect oh yeah you know when him and him and jiren were in the same class they’re buddies so today’s the anniversary of jiren getting drafted by the way it is yesterday was day today J oh so back toback days uh for our boys how about that this the rest of this says that uh basically the Hawks are sighting between kingan and the rashar kid for number one overall the Wizards seem pretty set on SAR at number two the Rockets are open to trading the third pick but they would just like to trade back and then get more draft Capital because the play they had which would speak to this the no interest in trading smart said they have not gotten offered a player for that pick that they would deem worthy of it um the Hornets would like to move up the three the Hornets value re sheeper oh wow that the rocket it doesn’t seem like the most natural fit with lamelo but the Rockets also the Rockets if the Rockets stay at three they’re they’re going to take Shephard they’re going to take shepher the interesting thing to me is the Rockets are functioning like we would have function if we had the third pick which is using it as an they wanted a high pick not to take a player but to use it as the asset that was yes now the the great fear in that is that you didn’t get that pick but to me it’s like I don’t want them using that and like going and being able to fish out muel Bridges yes that’s what you wanted it for you wanted the top five pick because it’s the best asset you have right that’s why we were always waiting and that’s why I think there’s probably going to be a lot of action for the Grizzlies they’re never making any of those deals be because they needed to know what they had yeah and what they had was where does in terms of the assets that we have with this franchise a top five pick would have gone straight to the top it would have been your best ass because that is a theoretically a outstanding player for four years on a great contract right yep and it’s like that’s the best ass nine ain’t nine is well is M I think even with the Rockets though like they’re trying to use it like that but they haven’t gotten a play you know they have tried to call the the Nets about spinning the block on the bridges that’s way you Boler your team but well it’s because the third pick in this draft is not viewed is the third pick in most drafts it’s like that third Pi maybe it’s not in the right environment doesn’t seem right now it does not seem to have the value as most number three pick if you’re doing a rebuild yeah right everybody still wants but I mean again it’s always a crap shoot bro you look last year and it’s like if you redo it right now I mean all so many of them are depreciating assets very rarely do you have the whim Dyas of the world that are appreciate like you know okay I take him and now he’s really a hundred billion dollar player where is scoots value sh this in a crapper right now you know what I’m saying yeah where are the Thompson Twins I mean Anthony black bro Jerry’s Walker Taylor Hendrick and that was a good draft Yeah you couldn’t you couldn’t get the third pick for scoot yeah d l I’m looking at this draft bro it’s a lot of I mean like said you can’t really tell after one year but like I really didn’t hear a lot of these names no last year at all it was not a good rookie class in terms of productivity behind wmy look behind wmi and Chad one we were talking about the most was ham hawz Miller had a decent year on the back allar break he turned up little yeah when everybody stops caring about games damn that’s crazy don’t do Baron Miller like that bro I mean that’s the same way with us but it does bolster your stock that’s why the GG Jackson thing is is GG gonna be able to do it when he’s playing spot minutes part of a role on a team I mean that was the the most excited I got about GG Jackson were not the 30 and 40 point games it was the ones where he played within the team concept and was still able to be outstanding gave me 12 points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes yep that’s the that’s the trick it’s a lot easier if you’re playing 35 minutes every night and losing and you dropping you dropping the 30 ball yeah so what yeah I I like the way he on that podcast he said he’s been he sees himself as a Michael Porter Jr type I like that comparison he was doing that’s when he did the uh he doesn’t have a brother does he no he doesn’t thank God and he he also don’t have a podcast either God he Ain got a podcast either so we good on that we two for two on that one okay good he said he said he sees himself as more of like a Michael Porter Jr just a guy who just you just fit in so I like when he said that on on out outwardly I was like okay it’s starting to it’s starting to seep in a little bit he’s starting to understand where you fixing in the pecking order we are active in every draft we are it’s a night is it’s going to be it’s usually a long night for us on the on the social side we always trade if it’s trading up or last year’s case we just Trad it out of it we do something clim is about that action boss about that action you like the movement is how would you feel but they have not done good on the draft look I don’t want to take anything away Vince Williams and GG Jack were hits yes massive hits and better hits than even if you would have hit your first rounders I’m not being if I’m being honest because you were able to look at the contracts those guys are on yeah I mean it’s freakish if they are what we think they are in terms of rotation guys you’re get I mean the value their contract is cuz Vince is like a what 8 million type 7even million is no am I am I no they didn’t even get that much no that’s like the total of the contract that’s like the total 9 million Vin damn they’re below Contra gets 6 million and that was nothing he gets two million a year next uh he’s being paid 2 million a year next year right that’s that’s value bro great yes that’s what I’m saying yeah those are even those are infinitely more valuable yeah that is wow I don’t know his deal was that low we’re paying I gu that n number was in my head cuz I we pay Kennedy Chandler $2 million next year I saw his D we pay Kennedy Chandler more more than GG Jackson next year I saw his dad other day at a basketball thing said what’s up to him Kennedy’s that yeah I hope it works out for Kennedy yeah me too bro he played for the Long Island Nets this year so it’s just so hard bro yeah it’s so hard you can count on your hand the number of under six Footers and I know he’s listed at six whatever but yeah right no he’s little 511 that boy five it say 5’11 on here is not 51 you can and think about it on your hand you better be a dog and he he doesn’t play like a dog me and him eye to eye bro I’m not 511 it’s just hard I mean the size in the NBA it’s like being under six foot is it’s tough damn near impossible you can really count on your hand yeah it’s the same thing that beill uh chioa yes I was going to bring him chioa was a little guy same thing that goes for our guy that played for us Gillard it’s just hard bro it is hard yep hard to make it in the leag of size yeah it’s it’s that’s why when when when freaking wm’s out on the perimeter I mean still the best still one of the best pictures in Grizzly’s history is Dev sending us the oh God Gillard standing next to wimy I mean he’s like literally he’s literally at his dong awful dong height is crazy dong height dong height is wild he could have run between his legs like Glow game he said he little dribble little in and out dribble between the dude’s legs he really could have that’s wild bro how would I interest you in Isaiah Stewart yes or no oh I love crazy guys so so Jake Fisher just tweeted that uh the Pistons are taking calls about uh Isaiah Stewart I’m cool with Isaiah Stewart they they want a Canard Union dude I forgot to b i I meant to press him on it but uh uh ok Conor mentioned that Jaden iy could get moved last night oh yeah you should have pressed him on netfli I know I forgot to it’s that’s interesting L love that Tron lon’s GNA put his stamp on that team hey that means all got to go hey I would love to get I so what so Duren hasn’t been mentioned as a possible one to move it’s just Ivy and Stewart Ivy and Stewart hey I’ll take either one I’ll take Stewart or ivy they over here buddy they do they got to change something big Burly big Burly dudes set screens for job just run like oh no Duren is the is the best fit because of the finishing lops I would just say with Isaiah Stewart I would feel much better about us playing the Lakers too oh I LeBron he he he doesn’t no I love having multiple guys that can fight yeah yeah try us then smart can fight Vince Williams is crazy Vince Williams is the crazy person Vince Williams is crazy Isaiah Stewart crazy all let’s get get some crazy will punch you he’s willing he’s a willing fighter with a two I think and B Bane’s got short arms but he’ll body slam you yeah he’ll definitely lift you up J J definitely has a crazy tick to him Jaren jiren does not rose on a good day he might get you too he’s from sh Town sh that is not uh that’s not jiren’s vibe br’s not that way either Brandon’s not’s not that way d d r will catch you on a good day don’t like I said he’s sh built dhead old man yeah but D Rose also is like he’s a little more he jcole protect his cheese he’s Zen now my gu shooting documentaries in the middle of the desert you’re like shra he could dot dot dot this dude like sniffing handles he got the sage going he got the incense and [ __ ] going like I I have come I am a yeah I’ve come to terms with my life he wears like a white net for an outfit like like a

great it just there’s other on I we went through them yesterday there’s ones I’ve Loved yeah I I just thought that one was a little too simple for me wasn’t it yeah hit I I got some news before we get out of here y’all I know this is some Caitlyn Clark news before we get out of here by the way saw this I saw this got some Caitlyn Clark news ver I know you love some Kaitlyn Clark news what is she controversial without saying anything again allar allar the allar votes out God she’s burying everyone but the kicker is it goes back into a conversation we had last week so you know how the allstar
