Boston's Ball Movement Magic, Knicks' Rise with KAT, and the Pelicans' Zion Problem

[00:00:19] It's Monday, you know what time it is. Front Runner Podcast Collective is back on the air. I am your humble host, Vince, and today we will be talking about the Atlantic Division in our Round the Arc segment, and we'll also dive into some trade rumors, and also a trade that has already gone down.

[00:00:41] So, we're going to get into the particulars today about those items, and also Soraya will minding the ones and twos and giving us the stats and all the quotes that we need to talk about.

[00:00:57] But before we get to all that, let's get to the socials. One, we are on X, and you will hit us on X, at FrontRunnerPC, and also at leah underscore punch FRPC.

[00:01:14] And then we are also on Blue Sky, and you should follow us there as well. So, it's at frontrunnerpc.bsky.social, and for Soraya, FRPC-S, hyphen, leah.bsky.social.

[00:01:33] Remember to join us on the YouTube channel, Front Runner Podcast Collective. We've got new videos up there, a couple of polls, what have you. Go and get on those. We'll be putting up some videos probably from this podcast as well.

[00:01:49] And then the other thing is to be a friend and to tell a friend about the podcast. That mantra continues. Nothing changes. That is an everyday occurrence for you, the audience member who loves the podcast and wants to share joy with everybody else. I ask you to go ahead and continue that.

[00:02:15] Now, before we get to all the ditty gritty on the podcast, there's a couple of things that we need to talk about. One, Christmas is coming up. And you go, what does that mean for us then? What does that mean? It doesn't mean a thing. You're going to get pods.

[00:02:33] But before you get pods, we got to talk about this menu situation, this crisis that we have in America.

[00:02:41] And what this crisis is, is that we have households in America that are being deteriorated by some of the menu choices of Christmas dinner, right? Or holiday dinner or Hanukkah dinner or whatever you would like to call it.

[00:03:03] Now, with that being said, no stress this time. Here's the thing. If you are making food for people who are coming over to your house, then you're probably making food for loved ones. What's going to happen with that situation? What kind of stuff do they like?

[00:03:29] All right. Now, don't bog yourself down with 16 socks. All right. Keep it to a minimum. Four. Right? There you go. Boom. All right. We got some stuffing. Right? We got some whatever. Macaroni and cheese. If you're a mashed potato person. If you're a yam person or whatever it is, get yourself like four. Understand. Standard. I'm thinking what? Ten people in a house?

[00:03:59] Whatever. Whatever. Four sides. Now, your main meat. Pause on that. I know how that's going to sound to a lot of people, so pause on that.

[00:04:10] Now, your center type of meat that you are going to consume, whether it be turkey, whether it be a roast, whether it be a ham.

[00:04:28] You have to be a roast, whether it be a ham.

[00:04:30] You have to be a ham. You have to be diligent in your basin process. Be diligent in your getting inside and making sure that the butter or whatever you use to moisten the meat is for us concerned.

[00:04:44] I know that how that's not is, so pause on that as well. But make sure the meat is tender and not dry.

[00:04:54] Alright

[00:04:56] Hopefully

[00:04:57] This will shut down

[00:04:59] Some of the anxiety levels

[00:05:01] That are going on

[00:05:02] With Hoop fans out there

[00:05:06] Going into this season

[00:05:08] I know that my menu

[00:05:10] As far as the size

[00:05:11] Is already set

[00:05:12] I know what's going down

[00:05:14] Alright

[00:05:16] Boom

[00:05:17] We're carbs heavy in this house

[00:05:21] There'll be stuffing for sure

[00:05:23] There'll be macaroni and cheese

[00:05:25] For sure

[00:05:27] I am thinking of

[00:05:29] Maybe some collard greens

[00:05:31] That's what I'm thinking about

[00:05:33] But it takes a long time

[00:05:34] I don't know if I have that type of time

[00:05:36] Nice little asparagus

[00:05:38] Maybe some mashed potatoes

[00:05:40] Boom

[00:05:41] There you are

[00:05:42] I'm set

[00:05:43] I don't have to worry

[00:05:47] And

[00:05:48] It's all delicious

[00:05:49] So

[00:05:50] I never have

[00:05:51] I'm never

[00:05:51] It's never

[00:05:52] Non-fan favorite type situation

[00:05:54] So

[00:05:55] With all that being said

[00:05:57] We

[00:05:58] Can go ahead

[00:05:59] And get

[00:05:59] To the podcast

[00:06:00] Because we got a lot to get to

[00:06:02] And

[00:06:03] Where we are going to start off

[00:06:05] In this particular podcast

[00:06:07] Is we're going to start off

[00:06:08] Where we

[00:06:08] Need to start off with

[00:06:10] Which is

[00:06:11] The Boston Celtics

[00:06:12] They are thriving

[00:06:14] Undoubtedly

[00:06:15] They have the second best record

[00:06:17] In the Eastern Conference

[00:06:18] At 21-5

[00:06:20] Their success

[00:06:21] Stands for

[00:06:21] Their

[00:06:22] Their

[00:06:22] Unselfish

[00:06:23] Play of basketball

[00:06:24] I watched the game

[00:06:26] Not that long ago

[00:06:27] With the Celtics

[00:06:28] And they

[00:06:30] Assisted on

[00:06:31] 34

[00:06:32] Or the

[00:06:32] 46

[00:06:33] Made shots

[00:06:34] In a recent win

[00:06:35] Against the Pistons

[00:06:36] And it was just beautiful

[00:06:37] The ball was just moving

[00:06:39] Moving

[00:06:40] Everywhere

[00:06:40] And

[00:06:42] Whether

[00:06:42] Derek White had it

[00:06:44] Or whether

[00:06:44] Peyton Pritchard had it

[00:06:45] So

[00:06:46] If the look was open

[00:06:50] They found

[00:06:51] An

[00:06:51] Even better

[00:06:52] Pass

[00:06:53] Or better shot

[00:06:55] For a

[00:06:56] Completely

[00:06:57] Wide open

[00:06:58] Person

[00:06:59] Jalen's

[00:07:00] Willingness

[00:07:01] To move the ball

[00:07:02] Exemplifies

[00:07:03] The team's

[00:07:03] Culture

[00:07:04] And

[00:07:05] Unselfishness

[00:07:06] In play

[00:07:06] In the Pistons games

[00:07:08] We saw

[00:07:08] Brown

[00:07:09] Pass the ball

[00:07:09] To Luke

[00:07:10] Cornett

[00:07:10] Who also

[00:07:11] Found

[00:07:12] Pete

[00:07:12] Who was sitting

[00:07:13] On the

[00:07:14] On the wing

[00:07:14] And then he hit

[00:07:16] Derek White for

[00:07:17] Why open

[00:07:18] Three

[00:07:19] And it was just

[00:07:19] This sequence

[00:07:20] Alone

[00:07:21] That

[00:07:22] Really

[00:07:23] Just

[00:07:25] Anticipy

[00:07:25] Just

[00:07:26] What this team

[00:07:27] Is all about

[00:07:27] Right now

[00:07:28] They move the ball

[00:07:30] They don't care

[00:07:31] Who is getting

[00:07:32] The best shot

[00:07:34] It is all about

[00:07:35] The best shot

[00:07:36] And it's beautiful

[00:07:38] To watch

[00:07:38] And when you look

[00:07:40] At this team

[00:07:40] And their

[00:07:41] Advanced status

[00:07:42] At their net rating

[00:07:43] Is

[00:07:44] Positive

[00:07:44] 10.2

[00:07:46] Which is a jump

[00:07:47] From last year

[00:07:48] Which was

[00:07:48] Positive

[00:07:49] 6.3

[00:07:50] So

[00:07:51] They are

[00:07:52] Also

[00:07:53] Second in net

[00:07:54] Rating

[00:07:54] Offensive

[00:07:56] Rating

[00:07:57] At 120

[00:07:57] 120.7

[00:07:59] At this

[00:08:01] Present moment

[00:08:01] And it's

[00:08:03] Primarily

[00:08:04] Because of their

[00:08:04] Ball movement

[00:08:05] The Celtics

[00:08:07] Don't want

[00:08:09] To take

[00:08:10] Contested

[00:08:11] Shots

[00:08:13] And

[00:08:13] They

[00:08:14] Have

[00:08:15] Programmed

[00:08:15] Their players

[00:08:16] To feel

[00:08:17] A certain

[00:08:18] Way about

[00:08:18] Okay

[00:08:19] This guy's

[00:08:20] Getting up

[00:08:20] On me

[00:08:21] Let me go

[00:08:21] Ahead

[00:08:21] Move the

[00:08:22] Ball

[00:08:22] Have to be

[00:08:23] Somebody

[00:08:23] Open

[00:08:24] Whether

[00:08:25] It

[00:08:25] Drop you

[00:08:25] To the

[00:08:26] Hole

[00:08:26] And having

[00:08:27] The defense

[00:08:28] Collapse

[00:08:29] On you

[00:08:29] And that's

[00:08:30] More of a

[00:08:31] Jalen Brown

[00:08:32] And

[00:08:33] And

[00:08:33] Jason Tatum

[00:08:34] Type of

[00:08:35] Thing

[00:08:36] But

[00:08:38] They're

[00:08:39] All

[00:08:41] Empowered

[00:08:41] To do

[00:08:42] That

[00:08:42] And the

[00:08:43] Great thing

[00:08:44] With that

[00:08:44] Is

[00:08:44] Is that

[00:08:45] The Celtics

[00:08:45] Look poised

[00:08:46] They look

[00:08:47] Poised

[00:08:48] They don't

[00:08:49] Look

[00:08:50] Stressed

[00:08:50] Out about

[00:08:51] Anything

[00:08:51] If they're

[00:08:52] Up

[00:08:52] They're

[00:08:53] Down

[00:08:53] It looks

[00:08:54] The same

[00:08:54] It doesn't

[00:08:55] Really change

[00:08:56] And you

[00:08:57] Can thank

[00:08:58] Jason Tatum

[00:08:58] And Jalen

[00:08:59] Brown

[00:08:59] Now

[00:09:00] On this

[00:09:01] Podcast

[00:09:01] Last year

[00:09:02] We had

[00:09:02] A lot

[00:09:02] Of issues

[00:09:03] With Jason

[00:09:04] Tatum

[00:09:04] We thought

[00:09:05] That he

[00:09:06] Needed to

[00:09:06] Step up

[00:09:06] His game

[00:09:07] Personally

[00:09:08] He has

[00:09:09] He's done

[00:09:10] That

[00:09:10] And it's

[00:09:11] Been crazy

[00:09:12] To see

[00:09:12] Even other

[00:09:14] Opposing coaches

[00:09:15] Are giving

[00:09:16] Appalades

[00:09:16] J.B.

[00:09:17] Bakerstaff

[00:09:18] Was praising

[00:09:18] Their culture

[00:09:19] After the

[00:09:20] Game against

[00:09:21] The Pistons

[00:09:21] Okay

[00:09:22] J.B.

[00:09:23] Bakerstaff

[00:09:23] So you

[00:09:24] Have another

[00:09:25] Coach

[00:09:25] That is

[00:09:26] Praising

[00:09:27] Your culture

[00:09:28] And seeing

[00:09:29] How your

[00:09:29] Ball movement

[00:09:31] And how

[00:09:32] The ball

[00:09:32] Finds

[00:09:33] Energy

[00:09:34] This is

[00:09:35] The best

[00:09:36] Compliment

[00:09:37] That you

[00:09:37] Can possibly

[00:09:38] Get when

[00:09:38] You're getting

[00:09:40] Opposing

[00:09:40] Coaches

[00:09:42] To look at

[00:09:42] Your team

[00:09:43] And saying

[00:09:43] Hey that's

[00:09:44] The right

[00:09:44] Way to

[00:09:44] Play

[00:09:45] Basketball

[00:09:47] And

[00:09:49] We can

[00:09:50] Talk about

[00:09:50] What kind

[00:09:51] Of moves

[00:09:51] They can

[00:09:52] Make

[00:09:52] And

[00:09:52] They're

[00:09:53] Deficient

[00:09:54] In a

[00:09:54] Certain

[00:09:55] Area

[00:09:55] Do they

[00:09:56] Shoot

[00:09:57] Too many

[00:09:57] Threes

[00:09:59] But this

[00:10:00] Is

[00:10:00] What

[00:10:02] Joe

[00:10:02] Missoula

[00:10:03] The head

[00:10:03] Coach of

[00:10:03] The Boston

[00:10:04] Celtics

[00:10:04] This is

[00:10:06] Literally

[00:10:06] The offense

[00:10:07] That he

[00:10:09] Visualized

[00:10:10] In his

[00:10:10] Head

[00:10:11] And he

[00:10:12] Was trying

[00:10:12] To get

[00:10:12] To that

[00:10:13] Level

[00:10:13] Last year

[00:10:14] And now

[00:10:15] He's

[00:10:16] Starting

[00:10:16] To achieve

[00:10:17] This level

[00:10:17] That he

[00:10:18] Wants to

[00:10:19] Play at

[00:10:19] It's an

[00:10:20] Aggressive

[00:10:20] Style

[00:10:20] It is

[00:10:22] Different

[00:10:22] We don't

[00:10:24] See these

[00:10:24] Many

[00:10:26] Threes

[00:10:26] Shot

[00:10:27] In a

[00:10:27] Game

[00:10:28] And we

[00:10:28] Got some

[00:10:29] Record

[00:10:30] Breakers

[00:10:30] Later on

[00:10:31] In the

[00:10:32] Podcast

[00:10:32] To talk

[00:10:33] About

[00:10:33] But

[00:10:35] They get

[00:10:36] Them up

[00:10:36] In Boston

[00:10:37] And that

[00:10:38] Is the

[00:10:38] Primary

[00:10:39] Goal

[00:10:40] We're

[00:10:41] Going

[00:10:41] To get

[00:10:41] Up

[00:10:42] Threes

[00:10:42] And we're

[00:10:43] Going

[00:10:43] To get

[00:10:43] Up

[00:10:43] Open

[00:10:44] Threes

[00:10:44] And we're

[00:10:45] Going

[00:10:45] To move

[00:10:45] The ball

[00:10:46] To make

[00:10:46] Sure

[00:10:47] That we

[00:10:48] Are getting

[00:10:49] The best

[00:10:49] Shot

[00:10:49] That's

[00:10:50] Available

[00:10:50] To us

[00:10:52] Now

[00:10:52] They do

[00:10:53] Have

[00:10:53] Two

[00:10:54] Great

[00:10:55] On-ball

[00:10:56] Playmakers

[00:10:57] In Jason

[00:10:57] Tatum

[00:10:58] And Jalen

[00:10:59] Brown

[00:10:59] When things

[00:11:00] Break down

[00:11:00] So before

[00:11:02] We get

[00:11:02] Too crazy

[00:11:03] With it

[00:11:03] You do

[00:11:04] Have two

[00:11:05] Guys that

[00:11:06] Are absolutely

[00:11:07] Incredible

[00:11:07] In

[00:11:08] Isol

[00:11:09] Basketball

[00:11:10] Especially

[00:11:10] When Jason

[00:11:12] Tatum

[00:11:12] Wants to

[00:11:12] Get

[00:11:12] Aggressive

[00:11:13] Going

[00:11:14] To the

[00:11:14] Basket

[00:11:15] Now

[00:11:16] Sometimes

[00:11:16] I think

[00:11:17] He settles

[00:11:17] Obviously

[00:11:18] For the

[00:11:19] Three-point

[00:11:19] Shot

[00:11:20] That step

[00:11:20] Back

[00:11:21] Three

[00:11:21] But

[00:11:23] For the

[00:11:24] Most part

[00:11:24] With

[00:11:25] Jalen

[00:11:26] Brown

[00:11:26] Also

[00:11:27] There

[00:11:27] You

[00:11:28] At least

[00:11:28] Have

[00:11:28] One

[00:11:28] Person

[00:11:29] Who's

[00:11:29] Going

[00:11:29] To be

[00:11:30] Very

[00:11:30] Aggressive

[00:11:31] Going

[00:11:32] To the

[00:11:32] Hole

[00:11:32] Most

[00:11:33] Nights

[00:11:33] If

[00:11:34] Not

[00:11:34] Two

[00:11:35] Guys

[00:11:36] It

[00:11:36] Works

[00:11:37] Out

[00:11:37] Tremendous

[00:11:37] For

[00:11:38] The Boston

[00:11:39] Celtics

[00:11:39] They're

[00:11:40] Playing

[00:11:40] Great

[00:11:41] And

[00:11:42] I

[00:11:43] Understand

[00:11:43] That

[00:11:44] They

[00:11:44] Don't

[00:11:44] Have

[00:11:44] The

[00:11:44] Best

[00:11:44] Record

[00:11:45] In

[00:11:46] Their

[00:11:46] Conference

[00:11:47] Right

[00:11:47] Now

[00:11:47] Or

[00:11:48] They

[00:11:48] Have

[00:11:48] The

[00:11:48] Best

[00:11:48] Record

[00:12:16] One

[00:12:16] Thing

[00:12:16] That

[00:13:00] He's

[00:13:02] 24.9

[00:13:03] Points

[00:13:04] A game

[00:13:04] He's

[00:13:05] 13.6

[00:13:07] Rebounds

[00:13:07] A game

[00:13:17] Stretch

[00:13:18] The

[00:13:18] Floor

[00:13:19] In

[00:13:19] The

[00:13:20] Way

[00:13:20] That

[00:13:20] He

[00:13:20] Does

[00:13:20] To

[00:13:21] Create

[00:13:21] The

[00:13:22] Actual

[00:13:22] Space

[00:13:23] That

[00:13:24] Jalen

[00:13:25] Brunson

[00:13:26] Desperately

[00:13:27] Was

[00:13:27] Looking

[00:13:28] Last

[00:13:28] Year

[00:13:29] Is

[00:13:30] The

[00:13:31] You

[00:13:31] Couldn't

[00:13:31] Ask

[00:13:32] For

[00:13:32] A

[00:13:32] Better

[00:13:32] Fit

[00:13:32] Their

[00:13:33] Chemistry

[00:13:33] History

[00:13:33] Is

[00:13:34] Just

[00:13:34] Growing

[00:13:35] And

[00:13:36] You

[00:13:36] Can

[00:13:36] See

[00:13:37] Just

[00:13:37] How

[00:13:38] Some

[00:13:39] Of

[00:13:39] The

[00:13:39] Nuances

[00:13:39] Of

[00:13:40] Their

[00:13:40] Game

[00:13:40] Are

[00:13:41] Working

[00:13:41] Together

[00:13:42] There are

[00:13:43] Just

[00:13:43] Times

[00:13:44] Where

[00:14:13] There

[00:14:14] The

[00:14:15] Bump

[00:14:15] And

[00:14:15] Run

[00:14:16] Style

[00:14:16] That

[00:14:16] He

[00:14:17] Likes

[00:14:17] To

[00:14:17] Utilize

[00:14:18] And

[00:14:18] Then

[00:14:19] Either

[00:14:19] Have

[00:14:20] The

[00:14:20] Defense

[00:14:21] Just

[00:14:21] Converge

[00:14:22] On

[00:14:22] Him

[00:14:23] And

[00:14:23] Just

[00:14:24] Look

[00:14:24] For

[00:14:24] The

[00:14:25] Most

[00:14:25] Open

[00:14:26] Shooter

[00:14:26] He

[00:14:26] Can

[00:14:26] Possibly

[00:14:27] Find

[00:14:27] Or

[00:14:28] He

[00:14:29] Finds

[00:14:29] This

[00:14:29] Guy

[00:14:30] Carl

[00:14:30] Anthony

[00:14:30] Towns

[00:14:31] And

[00:14:32] That

[00:14:32] Has

[00:14:33] Worked

[00:14:33] Out

[00:14:34] Great

[00:14:34] Because

[00:14:35] Check

[00:14:35] This

[00:14:35] Out

[00:14:37] They're

[00:14:38] The

[00:14:38] League's

[00:14:38] Most

[00:14:39] Efficient

[00:14:39] Pick

[00:14:40] And

[00:14:40] Roll

[00:14:40] Duel

[00:14:40] Right

[00:14:41] Now

[00:14:41] They're

[00:14:41] Generating

[00:14:42] 1.

[00:14:43] 3

[00:14:43] 4

[00:14:44] Points

[00:14:45] Per

[00:14:45] Possession

[00:14:48] That's

[00:14:49] Insane

[00:14:51] Now

[00:14:53] Where

[00:14:53] The

[00:14:54] Knicks

[00:14:54] Have

[00:14:54] Taken

[00:14:54] A

[00:14:54] Hit

[00:14:55] And

[00:14:55] This

[00:14:56] Is

[00:14:56] Going

[00:14:56] To

[00:14:56] Be

[00:14:57] A

[00:14:57] Long

[00:14:58] Standing

[00:14:58] Situation

[00:14:59] Until

[00:15:00] Mitchell

[00:15:01] Robinson

[00:15:02] Who

[00:15:02] Has

[00:15:03] Been

[00:15:03] Injured

[00:15:04] All

[00:15:04] Year

[00:15:04] Comes

[00:15:05] Back

[00:15:06] Now

[00:15:06] Precious

[00:15:06] Achua

[00:15:07] Has

[00:15:08] Come

[00:15:08] Back

[00:15:08] Has

[00:15:09] It

[00:15:09] Made

[00:15:09] A

[00:15:10] Difference

[00:15:10] Is

[00:15:11] Linked

[00:15:11] In

[00:15:12] The

[00:15:12] Bench

[00:15:12] I

[00:15:13] Don't

[00:15:13] Know

[00:15:13] If

[00:15:13] It's

[00:15:13] Made

[00:15:13] A

[00:15:14] Stark

[00:15:16] Difference

[00:15:17] In

[00:15:17] The

[00:15:17] Defense

[00:15:17] At

[00:15:18] All

[00:15:18] But

[00:15:20] They're

[00:15:21] Ranked

[00:15:21] 16th

[00:15:22] Currently

[00:15:22] In

[00:15:23] Defensive

[00:15:23] Rating

[00:15:23] Obviously

[00:15:24] Is

[00:15:25] The

[00:15:25] Significant

[00:15:26] Drop

[00:15:26] From

[00:15:26] Last

[00:15:26] Year

[00:15:27] Which

[00:15:27] They

[00:15:27] Finished

[00:15:28] In

[00:15:28] Top

[00:15:28] 10

[00:15:29] I

[00:15:29] Think

[00:15:29] They

[00:15:29] Were

[00:15:29] 8th

[00:15:30] If

[00:15:30] I'm

[00:15:30] Not

[00:15:30] Mistake

[00:15:31] Their

[00:15:32] Struggles

[00:15:32] In

[00:15:33] Pick

[00:15:33] And

[00:15:33] Roll

[00:15:33] Coverage

[00:15:34] Are

[00:15:34] Particularly

[00:15:34] Against

[00:15:35] Dynamic

[00:15:36] Guards

[00:15:36] Have

[00:15:36] Been

[00:15:36] Evident

[00:15:37] That's

[00:15:38] Not

[00:15:38] On

[00:15:38] Cat

[00:15:39] You

[00:15:40] Can

[00:15:40] Say

[00:15:41] They

[00:15:41] Pull

[00:15:41] Him

[00:15:41] Out

[00:15:42] What

[00:15:42] Have

[00:15:43] You

[00:15:43] Yes

[00:15:43] But

[00:15:44] You

[00:15:45] Have

[00:15:45] O.G.

[00:15:45] Ananove

[00:15:46] You

[00:15:47] Have

[00:15:47] Josh

[00:15:48] Hart

[00:15:48] You

[00:15:49] Also

[00:15:49] Have

[00:15:49] Mikkel

[00:15:50] Bridges

[00:15:50] Now

[00:15:51] If

[00:15:52] You

[00:15:52] Want

[00:15:52] To

[00:15:52] Talk

[00:15:52] About

[00:15:53] Somebody

[00:15:53] Taking

[00:15:54] A

[00:15:54] Step

[00:15:54] Back

[00:15:55] On

[00:15:55] Their

[00:15:55] Defensive

[00:15:56] Situation

[00:15:56] And

[00:15:57] One

[00:15:57] Of

[00:15:57] The

[00:15:57] Reasons

[00:15:58] Why

[00:15:58] He

[00:15:58] Was

[00:15:58] Brought

[00:15:59] To

[00:16:00] The

[00:16:00] Knicks

[00:16:01] Is

[00:16:02] Mikkel

[00:16:02] Bridges

[00:16:03] He

[00:16:03] Is

[00:16:03] Taking

[00:16:03] A

[00:16:04] Step

[00:16:04] Back

[00:16:04] On

[00:16:04] His

[00:16:05] Defense

[00:16:05] That

[00:16:06] Needs

[00:16:06] To

[00:16:06] Get

[00:16:07] Better

[00:16:07] I

[00:16:08] Don't

[00:16:08] Know

[00:16:09] If

[00:16:10] He

[00:16:10] Was

[00:16:10] Dealing

[00:16:11] With

[00:16:11] Something

[00:16:11] Early

[00:16:12] On

[00:16:12] In

[00:16:12] The

[00:16:12] Season

[00:16:13] That

[00:16:13] We

[00:16:13] Weren't

[00:16:13] Aware

[00:16:14] Of

[00:16:14] Or

[00:16:15] If

[00:16:15] It

[00:16:15] Was

[00:16:15] A

[00:16:16] Situation

[00:16:16] Where

[00:16:17] He

[00:16:17] Was

[00:16:17] Just

[00:16:17] Getting

[00:16:18] Comfortable

[00:16:18] With

[00:16:18] His

[00:16:19] Surroundings

[00:16:19] But

[00:16:19] His

[00:16:20] Defense

[00:16:20] On

[00:16:21] Ball

[00:16:21] Has

[00:16:21] Been

[00:16:22] Awful

[00:16:22] And

[00:16:23] He

[00:16:23] Has

[00:16:23] Been

[00:16:24] Lost

[00:16:25] On

[00:16:26] Switches

[00:16:27] And

[00:16:27] Defensive

[00:16:28] Rotations

[00:16:28] Since

[00:16:30] He

[00:16:30] Has

[00:16:30] Gotten

[00:16:31] Here

[00:16:32] And

[00:16:33] That

[00:16:33] Was

[00:16:33] The

[00:16:33] One

[00:16:33] Part

[00:16:34] Of

[00:16:34] His

[00:16:34] Game

[00:16:35] That

[00:16:35] I

[00:16:35] Thought

[00:16:35] Was

[00:16:36] Going

[00:16:36] To

[00:16:37] Fit

[00:16:37] Handing

[00:16:37] Love

[00:16:38] I

[00:16:38] Didn't

[00:16:39] Know

[00:16:39] If

[00:16:39] The

[00:16:39] Offensive

[00:16:40] Struggles

[00:16:40] Were

[00:16:40] Tied

[00:16:41] To

[00:16:41] The

[00:16:41] Defensive

[00:16:41] Struggles

[00:16:42] And

[00:16:43] He

[00:16:43] Just

[00:16:43] Pressing

[00:16:44] Because

[00:16:45] He's

[00:16:45] Now

[00:16:46] Even

[00:16:47] Though

[00:16:47] He

[00:16:47] Moved

[00:16:48] Literally

[00:16:48] Across

[00:16:49] The

[00:16:49] River

[00:16:49] To

[00:16:52] The

[00:16:52] Real

[00:16:52] Team

[00:16:53] In

[00:17:03] End

[00:17:03] Of

[00:17:04] Look

[00:17:04] At

[00:17:04] This

[00:17:04] Situation

[00:17:06] Yeah

[00:17:06] We

[00:17:06] Can

[00:17:07] Talk

[00:17:07] About

[00:17:07] Carl

[00:17:08] Anthony

[00:17:08] Towns

[00:17:09] As

[00:17:09] A

[00:17:09] Rim

[00:17:09] Protector

[00:17:10] And

[00:17:10] How

[00:17:11] He's

[00:17:11] Not

[00:17:11] Looking

[00:17:11] Good

[00:17:12] At

[00:17:12] It

[00:17:12] When

[00:17:12] He's

[00:17:13] The

[00:17:13] Primary

[00:17:13] guy

[00:17:14] But

[00:17:15] You

[00:17:15] Knew

[00:17:15] That

[00:17:16] When

[00:17:16] You

[00:17:16] Got

[00:17:16] Him

[00:17:17] And

[00:17:18] You

[00:17:18] That

[00:17:19] The

[00:17:20] The

[00:17:20] Perimeter

[00:17:21] Defense

[00:17:21] And

[00:17:22] The

[00:17:22] On

[00:17:22] Wall

[00:17:22] Pressure

[00:17:23] We're

[00:17:24] Going

[00:17:24] To

[00:17:24] Be

[00:17:24] Paramount

[00:17:25] To

[00:17:25] The

[00:17:25] Success

[00:17:26] Level

[00:17:26] Of

[00:17:26] Your

[00:17:26] Team

[00:17:28] And

[00:17:29] At

[00:17:30] This

[00:17:30] Point

[00:17:30] You're

[00:17:32] Going

[00:17:32] To

[00:17:32] Need

[00:17:32] More

[00:17:32] From

[00:17:33] Mikhail

[00:17:33] Bridges

[00:17:33] Now

[00:17:35] Getting

[00:17:35] Back

[00:17:35] To

[00:17:35] Towns

[00:17:36] And

[00:17:36] What

[00:17:37] He

[00:17:37] Did

[00:17:37] In

[00:17:38] His

[00:17:38] Recent

[00:17:38] game

[00:17:39] Oh

[00:17:39] He

[00:17:39] Just

[00:17:40] Grabbed

[00:17:40] 22

[00:17:41] Rebounds

[00:17:42] Also

[00:17:43] Scored

[00:17:43] 22

[00:17:44] Points

[00:17:44] He

[00:17:45] Also

[00:17:46] Found

[00:17:46] Himself

[00:17:46] In

[00:17:47] Tough

[00:17:47] Defensive

[00:17:47] Situations

[00:17:48] Like

[00:17:48] Guarding

[00:17:49] Two

[00:17:49] Players

[00:17:50] After

[00:17:50] Jalen

[00:17:50] Bronson

[00:17:51] Got

[00:17:51] Lost

[00:17:51] On

[00:17:51] The

[00:17:52] Screen

[00:17:52] This

[00:17:53] Situation

[00:17:54] His

[00:17:55] Effort

[00:17:55] Level

[00:17:57] He

[00:17:58] Showed

[00:17:58] It

[00:17:58] In

[00:17:58] Minnesota

[00:17:59] Now

[00:18:00] There

[00:18:00] Are

[00:18:01] Times

[00:18:01] When

[00:18:01] We

[00:18:01] Look

[00:18:01] At

[00:18:02] Carl

[00:18:02] Anthony

[00:18:02] Towns

[00:18:03] And

[00:18:03] Go

[00:18:03] Man

[00:18:04] I

[00:18:04] Really

[00:18:04] Wish

[00:18:05] You

[00:18:05] Wouldn't

[00:18:05] Make

[00:18:05] That

[00:18:06] Foul

[00:18:06] Like

[00:18:06] 37

[00:18:07] Feet

[00:18:07] Away

[00:18:08] From

[00:18:08] The

[00:18:08] Basket

[00:18:10] But

[00:18:11] The

[00:18:11] Effort

[00:18:11] That

[00:18:12] He

[00:18:12] Gave

[00:18:12] The

[00:18:13] Last

[00:18:13] Couple

[00:18:13] Years

[00:18:14] In

[00:18:14] Minnesota

[00:18:16] Is

[00:18:16] Basically

[00:18:17] Indicative

[00:18:18] Of

[00:18:18] The

[00:18:18] Effort

[00:18:19] That

[00:18:19] He's

[00:18:19] Been

[00:18:19] Given

[00:18:20] In

[00:18:21] New

[00:18:21] York

[00:18:21] So

[00:18:22] He's

[00:18:22] Giving

[00:18:23] You

[00:18:23] All

[00:18:23] Of

[00:18:23] What

[00:18:24] He

[00:18:24] Can

[00:18:24] Give

[00:18:24] You

[00:18:26] Highlights

[00:18:26] And

[00:18:27] I

[00:18:27] Just

[00:18:27] Want

[00:18:27] To

[00:18:27] Shout

[00:18:28] Them

[00:18:28] Out

[00:18:28] Because

[00:18:28] I

[00:18:29] Will

[00:18:29] Say

[00:18:30] Personally

[00:18:32] That

[00:18:32] Carl

[00:18:33] Anthony

[00:18:33] Towns

[00:18:33] To

[00:18:34] Me

[00:18:34] Can

[00:18:34] Be

[00:18:35] A

[00:18:35] Goof

[00:18:35] Ball

[00:18:35] And

[00:18:37] It's

[00:18:38] Not

[00:18:38] A

[00:18:38] Goof

[00:18:38] Ball

[00:18:39] In

[00:18:39] A

[00:18:39] Bad

[00:18:39] Way

[00:18:40] He's

[00:18:40] Just

[00:18:41] He

[00:18:43] Has

[00:18:43] A

[00:18:43] Child

[00:18:44] Like

[00:18:44] A

[00:18:44] Child

[00:18:45] Like

[00:18:47] Innocence

[00:18:47] And

[00:18:47] Wonderment

[00:18:49] And

[00:18:52] Even

[00:18:53] Though

[00:18:53] You

[00:18:53] Tell

[00:18:53] Carl

[00:18:54] Not

[00:18:54] To

[00:18:58] For

[00:18:59] Some

[00:18:59] Fair

[00:18:59] Reason

[00:19:00] So

[00:19:00] I

[00:19:01] Don't

[00:19:02] Know

[00:19:02] What

[00:19:02] To

[00:19:02] Say

[00:19:02] About

[00:19:02] That

[00:19:03] But

[00:19:03] He's

[00:19:04] Playing

[00:19:04] Great

[00:19:05] They're

[00:19:06] Getting

[00:19:06] Everything

[00:19:07] That

[00:19:07] They

[00:19:08] Thought

[00:19:08] They

[00:19:08] Were

[00:19:08] Getting

[00:19:09] In

[00:19:09] This

[00:19:10] Particular

[00:19:10] Deal

[00:19:10] And

[00:19:11] Yeah

[00:19:11] I

[00:19:12] Can

[00:19:12] Believe

[00:19:12] I

[00:19:13] Can

[00:19:13] Believe

[00:19:13] I'm

[00:19:14] About

[00:19:14] To

[00:19:14] Say

[00:19:14] This

[00:19:14] But

[00:19:15] Carl

[00:19:15] Anthony

[00:19:15] Towns

[00:19:16] In

[00:19:28] To

[00:19:29] Tom

[00:19:29] Thibodeau

[00:19:30] The

[00:19:30] Head

[00:19:30] Coach

[00:19:30] Of

[00:19:31] The

[00:19:31] New

[00:19:31] York

[00:19:31] Knicks

[00:19:31] Here's

[00:19:32] A

[00:19:32] Guy

[00:19:32] Who

[00:19:33] Lives

[00:19:33] On

[00:19:34] Defense

[00:19:34] He

[00:19:35] Lives

[00:19:35] On

[00:19:35] Ball

[00:19:36] Pressure

[00:19:36] Getting

[00:19:37] Rebounds

[00:19:38] Being

[00:19:38] Rugged

[00:19:39] Being

[00:19:39] Physical

[00:19:40] And

[00:19:41] His

[00:19:41] Team

[00:19:41] Right

[00:19:42] Now

[00:19:43] So

[00:19:43] Far

[00:19:43] Has

[00:19:44] Not

[00:19:44] Shown

[00:19:44] Those

[00:19:45] Tendencies

[00:19:46] And

[00:19:47] For

[00:19:47] Him

[00:19:47] To

[00:19:48] Pivot

[00:19:48] And

[00:19:48] Become

[00:19:49] More

[00:19:49] Of

[00:19:49] Offensive

[00:19:50] Team

[00:19:51] And

[00:19:51] Getting

[00:19:52] Critical

[00:19:52] Stops

[00:19:53] When

[00:19:53] You

[00:19:53] Have

[00:19:53] To

[00:19:53] It

[00:19:54] Shows

[00:19:55] A

[00:19:55] Credit

[00:19:55] To

[00:19:56] What

[00:19:56] He

[00:19:56] Is

[00:19:57] Able

[00:19:57] To

[00:19:57] Do

[00:19:57] As

[00:19:58] A

[00:19:58] Coach

[00:19:58] And

[00:19:58] Be

[00:19:59] Able

[00:19:59] To

[00:19:59] Adjust

[00:19:59] His

[00:20:00] System

[00:20:00] To

[00:20:01] Allow

[00:20:01] All

[00:20:02] Of

[00:20:03] The

[00:20:03] Incredible

[00:20:04] Talents

[00:20:05] To

[00:20:05] Work

[00:20:05] As

[00:20:05] One

[00:20:06] So

[00:20:06] Good

[00:20:08] Lux

[00:20:08] To

[00:20:09] Looks

[00:20:09] On

[00:20:09] That

[00:20:09] Team

[00:20:10] And

[00:20:10] I

[00:20:11] Think

[00:20:12] Once

[00:20:12] Mitchell

[00:20:13] Robertson

[00:20:14] Gets

[00:20:14] There

[00:20:14] Or

[00:20:14] If

[00:20:15] They

[00:20:15] Fix

[00:20:16] That

[00:20:16] Problem

[00:20:16] Before

[00:20:18] Mitchell

[00:20:18] Robertson

[00:20:19] Gets

[00:20:19] There

[00:20:20] If

[00:20:20] They

[00:20:21] Get

[00:20:21] A

[00:20:21] Real

[00:20:22] Valid

[00:20:22] Certified

[00:20:23] Rim

[00:20:24] Protector

[00:20:24] This

[00:20:25] Team

[00:20:25] Is

[00:20:25] Going

[00:20:25] To

[00:20:25] Be

[00:20:26] Really

[00:20:26] Good

[00:20:27] And

[00:20:27] They're

[00:20:28] Going

[00:20:28] To

[00:20:28] Have

[00:20:28] A

[00:20:28] Lot

[00:20:28] Of

[00:20:28] Answers

[00:20:29] To

[00:20:30] A

[00:20:30] Lot

[00:20:30] Of

[00:20:30] Questions

[00:20:32] It's

[00:20:33] Still

[00:20:33] Early

[00:20:34] In

[00:20:34] The

[00:20:34] Season

[00:20:34] There's

[00:20:35] Still

[00:20:35] So

[00:20:35] More

[00:20:35] Games

[00:20:36] To

[00:20:36] Go

[00:20:36] But

[00:20:37] I

[00:20:37] Am

[00:20:37] I'm

[00:20:38] Really

[00:20:38] Heartened

[00:20:39] By

[00:20:39] What

[00:20:39] Is

[00:20:40] Going

[00:20:40] On

[00:20:40] In

[00:20:40] New

[00:20:40] York

[00:20:41] City

[00:20:41] And

[00:20:42] Going

[00:20:42] On

[00:20:42] Around

[00:20:43] The

[00:20:43] Knicks

[00:20:43] And

[00:20:44] Around

[00:20:44] Carl

[00:20:45] Anthony

[00:20:45] Towns

[00:20:46] I

[00:20:46] Did

[00:20:46] Not

[00:20:47] Know

[00:20:47] It

[00:20:47] Was

[00:20:47] Going

[00:20:47] To

[00:20:48] Work

[00:20:48] This

[00:20:48] Well

[00:20:50] I

[00:20:51] Had

[00:20:51] My

[00:20:51] Doubts

[00:20:53] Now

[00:20:54] We're

[00:20:54] Going

[00:20:54] To

[00:20:54] Move

[00:20:55] On

[00:20:55] To

[00:20:55] A

[00:20:55] Team

[00:20:55] That

[00:20:56] We

[00:20:56] Also

[00:20:56] Doubt

[00:20:57] Early

[00:20:57] In

[00:20:57] The

[00:20:57] Season

[00:20:58] And

[00:20:58] It

[00:20:58] Looks

[00:20:58] Like

[00:20:59] We

[00:20:59] Might

[00:20:59] Have

[00:20:59] Had

[00:20:59] Good

[00:21:00] Reason

[00:21:00] To

[00:21:01] Now

[00:21:03] Philadelphia

[00:21:03] Has

[00:21:04] Battled

[00:21:04] Back

[00:21:04] I'm

[00:21:05] Not

[00:21:05] Going

[00:21:05] To

[00:21:05] Sit

[00:21:05] Here

[00:21:05] And

[00:21:06] Tell

[00:21:06] You

[00:21:06] That

[00:21:06] The

[00:21:07] 76ers

[00:21:07] Have

[00:21:08] Not

[00:21:08] Trying

[00:21:09] They

[00:21:10] Have

[00:21:10] Been

[00:21:10] But

[00:21:11] They

[00:21:11] Can

[00:21:12] Not

[00:21:13] Just

[00:21:13] Like

[00:21:14] New

[00:21:14] Orleans

[00:21:15] Can't

[00:21:15] Stay

[00:21:16] Away

[00:21:16] From

[00:21:16] Injury

[00:21:17] Joel

[00:21:18] Embiid

[00:21:18] Is

[00:21:19] Going

[00:21:19] To

[00:21:19] Side

[00:21:19] Side

[00:21:20] Line

[00:21:20] Again

[00:21:21] This

[00:21:21] Time

[00:21:22] With

[00:21:22] A

[00:21:22] Sinus

[00:21:23] Fracture

[00:21:23] So

[00:21:24] He

[00:21:24] Got

[00:21:24] Popped

[00:21:25] In

[00:21:25] The

[00:21:25] Nose

[00:21:26] And

[00:21:26] Then

[00:21:27] One

[00:21:28] Of

[00:21:28] The

[00:21:28] Great

[00:21:29] Stories

[00:21:30] In

[00:21:30] Philadelphia

[00:21:31] Early

[00:21:32] On

[00:21:32] In

[00:21:32] The

[00:21:32] Season

[00:21:33] Was

[00:21:33] Rookie

[00:21:34] Out

[00:21:34] Of

[00:21:34] Duke

[00:21:35] Jared

[00:21:35] McCain

[00:21:36] Who

[00:21:37] Really

[00:21:38] Came

[00:21:38] On

[00:21:39] Late

[00:21:39] Last

[00:21:39] Year

[00:21:40] For

[00:21:40] The

[00:21:41] Blue

[00:21:41] Devils

[00:21:42] And

[00:21:42] Solidified

[00:21:43] That

[00:21:44] Team

[00:21:44] And

[00:21:45] Then

[00:21:45] They

[00:21:45] Had

[00:21:45] A

[00:21:45] Run

[00:21:46] In

[00:21:46] March

[00:21:47] Madness

[00:21:48] And

[00:21:48] Then

[00:21:48] He

[00:21:48] Came

[00:21:48] Into

[00:21:49] The

[00:21:50] League

[00:21:50] This

[00:21:51] Year

[00:21:51] And

[00:21:52] Jared

[00:21:52] McCain

[00:21:53] Was

[00:21:54] Putting

[00:21:55] Up

[00:21:55] Buckets

[00:21:56] And

[00:21:58] Now

[00:21:58] He

[00:21:58] Is

[00:21:59] A

[00:21:59] Side

[00:21:59] Line

[00:22:00] Indefinitely

[00:22:00] With

[00:22:01] A

[00:22:01] Meniscus

[00:22:02] Tear

[00:22:02] So

[00:22:03] Without

[00:22:03] Embiid

[00:22:04] Philly's

[00:22:05] Offense

[00:22:06] Is

[00:22:06] Going

[00:22:07] To

[00:22:07] Crater

[00:22:07] Their

[00:22:08] 27th

[00:22:09] Offensive

[00:22:10] Rating

[00:22:10] At

[00:22:11] 107.8

[00:22:13] Which

[00:22:14] Is

[00:22:19] 7th

[00:22:19] And

[00:22:20] That

[00:22:20] Was

[00:22:21] With

[00:22:21] A

[00:22:21] Bunch

[00:22:21] Of

[00:22:21] Dysfunction

[00:22:22] And

[00:22:22] Some

[00:22:22] Role

[00:22:23] Players

[00:22:23] Last

[00:22:23] Year

[00:22:24] Could

[00:22:24] You

[00:22:24] Imagine

[00:22:25] If

[00:22:25] This

[00:22:25] Team

[00:22:25] Was

[00:22:26] Humming

[00:22:26] On

[00:22:26] All

[00:22:27] Cylinders

[00:22:27] With

[00:22:28] A

[00:22:28] Healthy

[00:22:28] Joel

[00:22:29] Embiid

[00:22:29] With

[00:22:30] A

[00:22:30] Paul

[00:22:31] George

[00:22:33] Tyrese

[00:22:34] Maxey

[00:22:34] Who

[00:22:34] Knows

[00:22:35] Who

[00:22:35] He

[00:22:35] Is

[00:22:36] You

[00:22:37] Got

[00:22:37] Real

[00:22:38] Good

[00:22:38] Production

[00:22:39] From

[00:22:39] Kelly

[00:22:39] Oubre

[00:22:40] Junior

[00:22:40] Last

[00:22:41] Year

[00:22:41] And

[00:22:42] He

[00:22:42] Looks

[00:22:42] To

[00:22:42] Be

[00:22:43] Basically

[00:22:43] About

[00:22:43] The

[00:22:43] Same

[00:22:44] Caleb

[00:22:45] Martin

[00:22:45] Has

[00:22:46] Sucked

[00:22:46] Since

[00:22:47] He's

[00:22:48] Gotten

[00:22:48] To

[00:22:48] Philadelphia

[00:22:49] The

[00:22:49] Three

[00:22:50] Point

[00:22:50] Shot

[00:22:50] And

[00:22:51] We

[00:22:51] Always

[00:22:52] Talk

[00:22:52] About

[00:22:52] Beware

[00:22:53] Of

[00:22:54] The

[00:22:54] Miami

[00:22:55] Heat

[00:22:55] Free

[00:22:55] Agent

[00:22:57] I

[00:22:58] Still

[00:22:58] Think

[00:22:58] Struce

[00:22:59] Is

[00:22:59] The

[00:22:59] Only

[00:22:59] One

[00:22:59] That

[00:23:00] Has

[00:23:00] Worked

[00:23:00] Out

[00:23:01] Pretty

[00:23:01] Good

[00:23:02] If

[00:23:03] I'm

[00:23:03] Not

[00:23:03] Mistaken

[00:23:04] Gabe

[00:23:05] Vinton

[00:23:05] Has

[00:23:06] Been

[00:23:06] An

[00:23:06] Absolute

[00:23:07] Shell

[00:23:07] Of

[00:23:08] Himself

[00:23:08] He's

[00:23:09] Played

[00:23:09] Pretty

[00:23:10] Good

[00:23:10] Lately

[00:23:11] But

[00:23:12] We

[00:23:13] Had

[00:23:14] To

[00:23:14] Wait

[00:23:14] Almost

[00:23:15] Like

[00:23:15] A

[00:23:15] Year

[00:23:15] And

[00:23:16] A

[00:23:16] Third

[00:23:16] Or

[00:23:17] Actually

[00:23:18] A

[00:23:18] Quarter

[00:23:18] To

[00:23:19] Get

[00:23:20] Anything

[00:23:20] Out

[00:23:20] Of

[00:23:20] Gabe

[00:23:20] Vincent

[00:23:21] On

[00:23:22] This

[00:23:22] Two

[00:23:23] Year

[00:23:23] Deal

[00:23:23] So

[00:23:24] Philadelphia

[00:23:25] Just

[00:23:26] Can't

[00:23:26] Buy

[00:23:27] A

[00:23:27] Break

[00:23:27] And

[00:23:28] Their

[00:23:29] Record

[00:23:29] Shows

[00:23:30] It

[00:23:30] They're

[00:23:30] One

[00:23:31] In

[00:23:31] Five

[00:23:31] With

[00:23:32] Games

[00:23:34] Where

[00:23:35] Embiid

[00:23:35] Has

[00:23:36] Not

[00:23:36] Played

[00:23:37] Embiid

[00:23:38] Has

[00:23:38] Showed

[00:23:39] That

[00:23:39] He

[00:23:40] Is

[00:23:40] He's

[00:23:41] Critical

[00:23:41] To

[00:23:41] Their

[00:23:42] Success

[00:23:43] And

[00:23:44] I

[00:23:44] Just

[00:23:44] Don't

[00:23:45] Know

[00:23:45] Where

[00:23:45] You

[00:23:45] Go

[00:23:46] You

[00:23:47] Cannot

[00:23:47] Keep

[00:23:47] Him

[00:23:48] Healthy

[00:23:48] Now

[00:23:49] What

[00:23:49] We're

[00:23:49] Leaning

[00:23:50] On

[00:23:50] Maxie

[00:23:51] And

[00:23:51] 34

[00:23:51] Year

[00:23:51] Old

[00:23:52] Paul

[00:23:52] George

[00:23:52] Which

[00:23:53] Okay

[00:23:53] Is it

[00:23:54] Better

[00:23:55] Than

[00:23:55] Some

[00:23:56] But

[00:23:57] The

[00:23:57] Hole

[00:23:57] That

[00:23:57] They

[00:23:58] Dug

[00:23:58] Themselves

[00:23:59] Thank

[00:24:00] God

[00:24:00] The

[00:24:00] East

[00:24:00] Has

[00:24:01] Been

[00:24:01] Just

[00:24:02] As

[00:24:02] Far

[00:24:02] As

[00:24:04] Once

[00:24:04] You

[00:24:10] Can

[00:24:10] Continue

[00:24:11] This

[00:24:12] Morass

[00:24:12] Of

[00:24:13] Injuries

[00:24:13] And

[00:24:14] This

[00:24:14] Morass

[00:24:14] Of

[00:24:14] Play

[00:24:15] And

[00:24:16] Just

[00:24:16] Persevere

[00:24:17] And

[00:24:17] See

[00:24:17] If

[00:24:18] They

[00:24:18] Can

[00:24:18] Sneak

[00:24:18] Out

[00:24:18] Of

[00:24:18] Eight

[00:24:19] Seat

[00:24:20] Good

[00:24:21] Luck

[00:24:22] To

[00:24:22] The

[00:24:22] 76ers

[00:24:23] Fans

[00:24:23] This

[00:24:23] Seems

[00:24:24] Like

[00:24:24] The

[00:24:24] Year

[00:24:24] From

[00:24:24] Hell

[00:24:25] And

[00:24:25] I

[00:24:25] Wouldn't

[00:24:26] Wish

[00:24:26] This

[00:24:26] Upon

[00:24:27] You

[00:24:27] I

[00:24:27] Thought

[00:24:28] This

[00:24:28] Was

[00:24:28] Going

[00:24:28] To

[00:24:28] Be

[00:24:29] A

[00:24:29] Really

[00:24:29] Positive

[00:24:30] Year

[00:24:30] But

[00:24:31] Your

[00:24:31] Top

[00:24:32] Guy

[00:24:33] Is

[00:24:35] He's

[00:24:35] Very

[00:24:36] Inconsistent

[00:24:37] He's

[00:24:37] Consistently

[00:24:39] Inconsistent

[00:24:41] All right

[00:24:41] So

[00:24:42] We're

[00:24:42] Going

[00:24:42] To

[00:24:42] Move

[00:24:42] On

[00:24:44] To

[00:24:44] The

[00:24:44] Brooklyn

[00:24:44] Nets

[00:24:46] And

[00:24:46] The

[00:24:47] First

[00:24:47] Thing

[00:24:47] That

[00:24:47] I

[00:24:47] Want

[00:24:47] To

[00:24:48] Talk

[00:24:48] About

[00:24:48] With

[00:24:48] The

[00:24:48] Brooklyn

[00:24:49] Nets

[00:24:49] Is

[00:24:49] That

[00:24:49] They

[00:24:49] Officially

[00:24:51] Have

[00:24:52] Started

[00:24:52] The

[00:24:52] Rebuild

[00:24:53] Process

[00:24:53] We've

[00:24:54] Been

[00:24:54] Saying

[00:24:55] For

[00:24:55] The

[00:24:55] Last

[00:24:55] Four

[00:24:56] To

[00:24:56] Six

[00:24:57] Weeks

[00:24:57] That

[00:24:57] The

[00:24:57] Brooklyn

[00:24:58] Nets

[00:24:58] And

[00:24:59] Their

[00:24:59] New

[00:25:00] Head

[00:25:00] Coach

[00:25:00] Jordy

[00:25:01] Fernandez

[00:25:01] Is

[00:25:03] Too

[00:25:03] Good

[00:25:04] Brooklyn

[00:25:05] Nets

[00:25:06] Are

[00:25:06] Trying

[00:25:06] To

[00:25:06] Tank

[00:25:07] And

[00:25:08] They

[00:25:08] Took

[00:25:08] Measures

[00:25:09] To

[00:25:10] Enhance

[00:25:11] That

[00:25:11] Process

[00:25:12] By

[00:25:13] Trading

[00:27:41] Exactly

[00:27:41] What

[00:27:42] You

[00:27:42] To

[00:27:42] Have

[00:27:42] Happen

[00:27:49] You

[00:27:49] Possibly

[00:27:50] Can

[00:27:50] Utah

[00:27:51] Has

[00:28:01] Let's

[00:28:02] Get

[00:28:02] It

[00:28:02] Going

[00:28:03] You

[00:28:04] Know

[00:28:04] I'm

[00:28:04] Saying

[00:28:04] Let's

[00:28:05] Get

[00:28:05] It

[00:28:05] Going

[00:28:07] Defense

[00:28:08] Is

[00:28:09] Where

[00:28:09] It

[00:28:09] Needs

[00:28:09] To

[00:28:09] Be

[00:28:09] It's

[00:28:10] 27th

[00:28:10] Ranked

[00:28:11] In

[00:28:11] The

[00:28:11] League

[00:28:11] Defensive

[00:28:12] Rating

[00:28:12] That's

[00:28:13] Where

[00:28:13] You

[00:28:13] Are

[00:28:14] You

[00:28:14] Give

[00:28:15] Up

[00:28:15] 117

[00:28:16] Point

[00:28:19] Percent

[00:28:21] But

[00:28:22] You

[00:28:23] Still

[00:28:23] Got

[00:28:23] Dudes

[00:28:24] On

[00:28:24] Your

[00:28:24] Team

[00:28:24] That

[00:28:25] Can

[00:28:25] Help

[00:28:25] You

[00:28:26] You

[00:28:27] Still

[00:28:27] Got

[00:28:28] Dudes

[00:28:28] On

[00:28:29] That

[00:28:29] Team

[00:28:30] You're

[00:28:31] 10

[00:28:31] And

[00:28:32] 15

[00:28:32] Right

[00:28:32] Now

[00:28:33] You're

[00:28:34] You're

[00:28:34] At

[00:28:34] Crossroads

[00:28:36] See

[00:28:37] What

[00:28:37] I

[00:28:37] Did

[00:28:37] There

[00:28:38] Wrestling

[00:28:39] Fans

[00:28:39] See

[00:28:39] What

[00:28:39] I

[00:28:39] Did

[00:28:40] Crossroads

[00:28:42] Cody

[00:28:43] Rosemull

[00:28:44] Alright

[00:28:45] So

[00:28:45] We

[00:28:47] Need

[00:28:47] To

[00:28:48] to fully embrace this tank

[00:28:50] Sean Marks I implore you

[00:28:53] to go ahead and set free Cam Johnson

[00:28:57] and Dorian Finney-Smith

[00:28:59] from your roster please do not take back

[00:29:03] any assets that can help you today

[00:29:07] or in the near future

[00:29:09] take back only things that are going to be able to help you

[00:29:12] in years to come and we can go ahead

[00:29:16] and move on and maybe possibly give more minutes

[00:29:19] to Ben Simmons because he doesn't want to shoot the ball

[00:29:21] there is that as well

[00:29:25] now let's move on to the Toronto Raptors

[00:29:29] injuries have derailed the Toronto Raptors

[00:29:32] this is another team going through a bunch of injuries

[00:29:35] Scotty Barnes is out

[00:29:38] again quickly is out

[00:29:41] their net rating is a negative 5 right now

[00:29:44] which is 24th in the league

[00:29:47] so they're obviously in

[00:29:50] they're not tanking because

[00:29:53] they're trying to tank

[00:29:54] they're tanking because they're just running out of dudes

[00:29:58] I don't think they're broken up about

[00:30:00] running out of dudes because this is a good year

[00:30:03] if you were going to

[00:30:04] have the injury bug run through your team

[00:30:08] and you have your draft pick

[00:30:10] this is probably the season for that to happen

[00:30:14] it is an incredible

[00:30:17] deep

[00:30:19] fully talented

[00:30:20] diverse draft

[00:30:22] and it's something that we will talk about later on in the week

[00:30:25] now

[00:30:26] Barnes' absence is devastating

[00:30:28] he was averaging 20.6 points a game

[00:30:31] he was also averaging 8.4 rebounds

[00:30:34] and 7.4 assists a game

[00:30:37] this dude was looking at

[00:30:38] slightly below

[00:30:39] all NBA radar

[00:30:41] at this point

[00:30:43] basically

[00:30:45] lean into the tank

[00:30:46] allow my guy Grady Dick

[00:30:48] to take a lot of shots

[00:30:49] that would be awesome

[00:30:50] and

[00:30:50] we just move on from there

[00:30:53] now we're going to move on to

[00:30:56] what I love to call

[00:30:59] baseline bus

[00:31:00] and the reason why

[00:31:02] I love this segment

[00:31:03] is because

[00:31:04] we named it

[00:31:05] we coined this phrase

[00:31:07] and then the second thing

[00:31:09] reason why

[00:31:10] is because we got a lot of trade stuff

[00:31:12] to get into

[00:31:13] and

[00:31:14] we're going to start off with

[00:31:16] the Dennis Schroeder trade

[00:31:17] and how

[00:31:17] this

[00:31:18] helps out Golden State

[00:31:22] Dennis Schroeder

[00:31:23] goes to Golden State

[00:31:25] we talked about

[00:31:26] DeAnthony Melton

[00:31:27] going to Brooklyn

[00:31:28] with the new CBA

[00:31:31] it has made trading

[00:31:33] so

[00:31:36] fundamentally

[00:31:37] difficult

[00:31:38] with the second apron

[00:31:40] penalties

[00:31:41] looming teams

[00:31:42] are being very cautious

[00:31:43] about

[00:31:44] taking

[00:31:45] on

[00:31:46] big contracts

[00:31:47] so

[00:31:48] with names like

[00:31:50] Jimmy Butler

[00:31:50] and

[00:31:52] Brandon Ingram

[00:31:53] and even

[00:31:54] Zion Williamson

[00:31:55] reportedly

[00:31:56] available

[00:31:57] we could still see

[00:32:01] some fireworks

[00:32:01] but

[00:32:02] who's taking on

[00:32:03] those big salaries

[00:32:04] because

[00:32:05] all those guys

[00:32:06] have question marks

[00:32:07] which we will get to

[00:32:09] momentarily

[00:32:10] when you look at a trade

[00:32:12] like this

[00:32:12] Dennis Schroeder

[00:32:14] wasn't making a lot of money

[00:32:15] he was making like

[00:32:16] 13 million

[00:32:19] DeAnthony Melton

[00:32:20] was making like

[00:32:21] 12.3

[00:32:22] they threw in

[00:32:23] like something else

[00:32:26] player

[00:32:26] almost like a player

[00:32:27] to be named later

[00:32:28] salaries match

[00:32:30] ta-da

[00:32:31] we have a trade

[00:32:32] so

[00:32:35] these type

[00:32:36] of things

[00:32:36] are probably

[00:32:38] these type

[00:32:39] of trades

[00:32:39] are probably

[00:32:40] the ones

[00:32:40] that we will

[00:32:42] see more of

[00:32:43] we will see

[00:32:44] role players

[00:32:45] guys in that

[00:32:46] 15

[00:32:47] to 27

[00:32:49] million

[00:32:50] dollar range

[00:32:51] we might see

[00:32:52] those guys

[00:32:53] move

[00:32:54] aggressively

[00:32:55] but

[00:32:57] we still

[00:32:58] have

[00:32:59] the possibility

[00:33:00] of fireworks

[00:33:02] and

[00:33:02] I can't wait

[00:33:03] to get to it

[00:33:04] momentarily

[00:33:05] but

[00:33:07] this is where

[00:33:07] we are

[00:33:08] this is where

[00:33:09] we are

[00:33:09] we got

[00:33:09] Dennis Schroeder

[00:33:10] who

[00:33:12] I think

[00:33:13] in the last

[00:33:13] four years

[00:33:14] has

[00:33:16] changed

[00:33:16] pretty much

[00:33:17] the narrative

[00:33:18] around who

[00:33:19] he is

[00:33:19] as a player

[00:33:22] when he came

[00:33:22] into the league

[00:33:23] he was

[00:33:24] a wild

[00:33:24] player

[00:33:25] high

[00:33:26] turnover

[00:33:27] he didn't

[00:33:28] seem to be

[00:33:28] a good

[00:33:29] teammate

[00:33:30] and

[00:33:31] his first

[00:33:32] stint

[00:33:33] with the

[00:33:33] Lakers

[00:33:33] went well

[00:33:35] he came

[00:33:35] back

[00:33:37] that stint

[00:33:38] went well

[00:33:38] and he

[00:33:39] started into

[00:33:41] just a really

[00:33:42] solid

[00:33:42] vet

[00:33:42] so I

[00:33:44] think

[00:33:45] what

[00:33:45] Golden State

[00:33:46] is getting

[00:33:46] is they're

[00:33:47] getting a

[00:33:47] player that

[00:33:48] can definitely

[00:33:48] help them

[00:33:49] obviously

[00:33:49] when you

[00:33:50] had

[00:33:50] DeAnthony

[00:33:51] Melton

[00:33:51] who wasn't

[00:33:52] going to

[00:33:52] even

[00:33:52] play

[00:33:53] you're

[00:33:54] getting

[00:33:54] something

[00:33:54] that

[00:33:56] is

[00:33:56] definitely

[00:33:57] going to

[00:33:57] help

[00:33:57] you

[00:33:57] but

[00:33:58] the

[00:33:58] other

[00:33:58] thing

[00:33:58] that

[00:33:59] he's

[00:33:59] going

[00:33:59] to

[00:33:59] do

[00:33:59] is that

[00:34:00] he should

[00:34:01] be able

[00:34:01] to

[00:34:01] stabilize

[00:34:03] the

[00:34:03] second

[00:34:04] unit

[00:34:05] so

[00:34:06] Schroeder

[00:34:06] helping

[00:34:07] the second

[00:34:07] unit out

[00:34:08] in Golden

[00:34:09] State

[00:34:10] is

[00:34:11] something

[00:34:11] that

[00:34:12] is not

[00:34:14] just

[00:34:15] something

[00:34:15] that

[00:34:15] is

[00:34:16] possible

[00:34:16] it's

[00:34:17] something

[00:34:17] that's

[00:34:17] going to

[00:34:18] happen

[00:34:19] let's

[00:34:20] look at

[00:34:20] the

[00:34:20] cast of

[00:34:21] characters

[00:34:21] that

[00:34:22] Golden

[00:34:22] State

[00:34:22] Warriors

[00:34:22] currently

[00:34:23] have

[00:34:24] if

[00:34:25] Steph

[00:34:26] or

[00:34:27] Draymond

[00:34:28] are not

[00:34:29] driving

[00:34:31] offensive

[00:34:31] possessions

[00:34:34] who

[00:34:34] drives

[00:34:35] those

[00:34:35] possessions

[00:34:36] as of

[00:34:36] right

[00:34:36] now

[00:34:39] we

[00:34:40] got

[00:34:40] Brandon

[00:34:41] Ponzybski

[00:34:42] out here

[00:34:43] who

[00:34:44] has

[00:34:44] struggled

[00:34:45] mightily

[00:34:46] all

[00:34:47] season

[00:34:48] with

[00:34:49] his

[00:34:49] shot

[00:34:50] with

[00:34:51] turnovers

[00:34:53] I

[00:34:54] don't

[00:34:54] know

[00:34:54] if

[00:34:54] he's

[00:34:54] lost

[00:34:54] confidence

[00:34:55] I

[00:34:55] don't

[00:34:55] know

[00:34:56] what

[00:34:56] has

[00:34:56] happened

[00:34:56] and

[00:34:57] he's

[00:34:57] also

[00:34:57] now

[00:34:58] Steve

[00:34:58] Curves

[00:34:59] the

[00:35:00] head

[00:35:00] coach

[00:35:00] of

[00:35:00] the

[00:35:00] Golden

[00:35:00] State

[00:35:01] Warriors

[00:35:01] he

[00:35:02] seems

[00:35:02] to

[00:35:03] be

[00:35:03] Steve

[00:35:04] Curves

[00:35:05] whipping

[00:35:05] boy

[00:35:06] for

[00:35:06] what

[00:35:07] goes

[00:35:07] wrong

[00:35:08] and

[00:35:08] what

[00:35:08] ails

[00:35:09] the

[00:35:09] Golden

[00:35:09] State

[00:35:09] Warriors

[00:35:10] so

[00:35:11] that's

[00:35:11] another

[00:35:12] situation

[00:35:12] to track

[00:35:13] as well

[00:35:13] because

[00:35:17] last

[00:35:18] year

[00:35:18] Brandon

[00:35:19] Ponzybski

[00:35:19] played

[00:35:20] with a

[00:35:20] lot

[00:35:20] of

[00:35:20] confidence

[00:35:22] he

[00:35:22] seemed

[00:35:23] to be

[00:35:23] like

[00:35:23] a

[00:35:23] piece

[00:35:24] that

[00:35:25] was

[00:35:26] going

[00:35:26] to

[00:35:26] could

[00:35:27] be

[00:35:27] part

[00:35:34] and

[00:35:35] this

[00:35:35] year

[00:35:36] he's

[00:35:36] taken

[00:35:36] several

[00:35:37] steps

[00:35:37] back

[00:35:37] he

[00:35:38] doesn't

[00:35:39] look

[00:35:39] like

[00:35:39] the

[00:35:39] same

[00:35:39] guy

[00:35:40] and

[00:35:43] bringing

[00:35:44] in

[00:35:44] Dennis

[00:35:44] Schroeder

[00:35:45] to take

[00:35:45] some

[00:35:45] of

[00:35:46] the

[00:35:46] ball

[00:35:46] handling

[00:35:47] responsibilities

[00:35:47] away

[00:35:48] from

[00:35:48] him

[00:35:49] I

[00:35:50] think

[00:35:50] can

[00:35:51] only

[00:35:51] benefit

[00:35:51] him

[00:35:52] I

[00:35:52] think

[00:35:52] now

[00:35:52] you're

[00:35:53] just

[00:35:53] taking

[00:35:53] pressures

[00:35:53] like

[00:35:54] listen

[00:35:54] just

[00:35:54] take

[00:35:55] the

[00:35:55] shot

[00:35:55] guy

[00:35:55] if

[00:35:56] for

[00:35:56] some

[00:35:57] reason

[00:35:57] you're

[00:35:57] out

[00:35:58] there

[00:35:58] at

[00:35:58] the

[00:35:59] three

[00:35:59] point

[00:35:59] line

[00:36:00] go

[00:36:01] ahead

[00:36:01] take

[00:36:01] the

[00:36:01] shot

[00:36:02] if

[00:36:03] not

[00:36:04] if

[00:36:05] you

[00:36:05] get

[00:36:05] closed

[00:36:05] out

[00:36:06] on

[00:36:06] drive

[00:36:07] aggressively

[00:36:08] to

[00:36:08] the

[00:36:08] hole

[00:36:08] and

[00:36:09] just

[00:36:09] make

[00:36:11] the

[00:36:12] next

[00:36:12] pass

[00:36:13] or

[00:36:13] if

[00:36:14] you

[00:36:14] have

[00:36:14] an

[00:36:14] open

[00:36:15] lane

[00:36:15] to

[00:36:15] the

[00:36:15] hole

[00:36:16] go

[00:36:18] make

[00:36:18] the

[00:36:18] game

[00:36:19] real

[00:36:19] simple

[00:36:19] for

[00:36:19] him

[00:36:20] just

[00:36:20] get

[00:36:21] him

[00:36:21] back

[00:36:21] in

[00:36:21] rhythm

[00:36:22] so

[00:36:23] then

[00:36:23] you

[00:36:23] don't

[00:36:24] lose

[00:36:24] this

[00:36:24] kid

[00:36:25] for

[00:36:26] the

[00:36:26] entire

[00:36:26] season

[00:36:28] don't

[00:36:29] turn

[00:36:29] this

[00:36:29] into

[00:36:30] a

[00:36:30] Tyler

[00:36:30] hero

[00:36:30] situation

[00:36:31] or

[00:36:32] Duncan

[00:36:32] Robinson

[00:36:33] situation

[00:36:33] remember

[00:36:35] when

[00:36:35] those

[00:36:35] guys

[00:36:35] lost

[00:36:36] a

[00:36:36] confidence

[00:36:37] you

[00:36:38] remember

[00:36:38] what

[00:36:38] a

[00:36:38] mess

[00:36:39] it

[00:36:39] was

[00:36:39] in

[00:36:39] Miami

[00:36:40] and

[00:36:42] here's

[00:36:42] the

[00:36:43] thing

[00:36:43] Golden

[00:36:44] State

[00:36:44] is not

[00:36:44] talented

[00:36:58] what

[00:36:58] they're

[00:36:58] doing

[00:36:59] right

[00:36:59] now

[00:37:00] I

[00:37:01] like

[00:37:01] the

[00:37:01] Dennis

[00:37:01] Schroeder

[00:37:02] move

[00:37:02] strictly

[00:37:03] for

[00:37:03] two

[00:37:04] reasons

[00:37:04] it

[00:37:04] gives

[00:37:05] them

[00:37:05] a

[00:37:05] glue

[00:37:05] guy

[00:37:06] on

[00:37:06] that

[00:37:07] second

[00:37:07] unit

[00:37:07] it

[00:37:08] gives

[00:37:08] them

[00:37:08] somebody

[00:37:09] who

[00:37:09] can

[00:37:09] initiate

[00:37:10] offense

[00:37:10] for

[00:37:11] himself

[00:37:12] and

[00:37:12] others

[00:37:12] and

[00:37:13] I

[00:37:13] think

[00:37:14] it

[00:37:14] takes

[00:37:14] some

[00:37:14] pressure

[00:37:15] off

[00:37:16] of

[00:37:16] Brandon

[00:37:16] Krasinski

[00:37:17] as a

[00:37:18] primary

[00:37:18] ball

[00:37:19] handler

[00:37:19] and

[00:37:20] allows

[00:37:20] him

[00:37:20] to

[00:37:20] go

[00:37:21] back

[00:37:21] to

[00:37:21] the

[00:37:21] second

[00:37:22] side

[00:37:22] initiator

[00:37:23] where

[00:37:24] there's

[00:37:24] less

[00:37:24] pressure

[00:37:25] kudos

[00:37:26] to the

[00:37:26] Golden

[00:37:26] State

[00:37:26] Warriors

[00:37:27] picking

[00:37:27] up

[00:37:27] a

[00:37:27] guy

[00:37:28] and

[00:37:28] not

[00:37:29] really

[00:37:29] having

[00:37:29] to

[00:37:29] give

[00:37:30] up

[00:37:30] a

[00:37:30] lot

[00:37:30] to

[00:37:30] get

[00:37:31] him

[00:37:31] now

[00:37:32] let's

[00:37:33] talk

[00:37:33] about

[00:37:33] some

[00:37:34] trade

[00:37:34] rumors

[00:37:35] shall

[00:37:36] we

[00:37:37] according

[00:37:37] to

[00:37:38] our

[00:37:38] guy

[00:37:38] Mark

[00:37:39] Stein

[00:37:40] who's

[00:37:40] locked

[00:37:40] in the

[00:37:41] Dallas

[00:37:41] area

[00:37:42] according

[00:37:43] to him

[00:37:43] the

[00:37:43] New

[00:37:44] Orleans

[00:37:44] Pelicans

[00:37:44] are

[00:37:45] open

[00:37:46] to

[00:37:46] trading

[00:37:46] Zion

[00:37:47] Williamson

[00:37:48] Brandon

[00:37:49] Ingram

[00:37:49] and

[00:37:50] CJ

[00:37:51] McCollum

[00:37:52] now

[00:37:54] Brandon

[00:37:54] Ingram

[00:37:55] thing

[00:37:55] is not

[00:37:56] new

[00:37:57] right

[00:37:57] we knew

[00:37:58] that

[00:37:59] Brandon

[00:37:59] Ingram

[00:37:59] they

[00:38:00] were

[00:38:00] trying

[00:38:01] to

[00:38:01] trade

[00:38:01] him

[00:38:01] in

[00:38:01] the

[00:38:02] off

[00:38:02] season

[00:38:02] over

[00:38:03] the

[00:38:03] summer

[00:38:04] they

[00:38:05] were

[00:38:05] not

[00:38:05] able

[00:38:05] to

[00:38:06] work

[00:38:06] out

[00:38:06] a

[00:38:07] deal

[00:38:07] with

[00:38:07] him

[00:38:09] and

[00:38:11] I

[00:38:11] have

[00:38:12] now

[00:38:12] on good

[00:38:12] authority

[00:38:13] that

[00:38:13] one of

[00:38:14] the

[00:38:14] reasons

[00:38:15] why

[00:38:15] they

[00:38:15] weren't

[00:38:16] able

[00:38:16] to

[00:38:16] work

[00:38:16] out

[00:38:16] a

[00:38:17] good

[00:38:17] deal

[00:38:17] with

[00:38:17] him

[00:38:18] or

[00:38:19] contract

[00:38:20] extension

[00:38:20] is

[00:38:21] because

[00:38:21] of

[00:38:21] the

[00:38:21] fact

[00:38:22] that

[00:38:22] they

[00:38:22] want

[00:38:22] to

[00:38:22] keep

[00:38:23] him

[00:38:23] around

[00:38:23] the

[00:38:24] same

[00:38:24] salary

[00:38:24] that

[00:38:25] he

[00:38:26] is

[00:38:26] currently

[00:38:26] at

[00:38:27] now

[00:38:28] obviously

[00:38:28] somebody

[00:38:29] who

[00:38:30] scores

[00:38:31] 25

[00:38:31] points

[00:38:32] a game

[00:38:32] in the

[00:38:33] league

[00:38:33] is

[00:38:34] going

[00:38:34] to

[00:38:34] probably

[00:38:35] take

[00:38:35] some

[00:38:36] sort

[00:38:36] of

[00:38:36] offense

[00:38:37] to

[00:38:37] that

[00:38:37] because

[00:38:38] when

[00:38:39] you

[00:38:39] see

[00:38:39] your

[00:38:40] peers

[00:38:40] going

[00:38:41] up

[00:38:42] to

[00:38:42] 42

[00:38:43] and

[00:38:43] 43

[00:38:44] million

[00:38:44] or

[00:38:45] even

[00:38:46] higher

[00:38:46] and

[00:38:47] you

[00:38:48] are

[00:38:51] to

[00:38:54] all

[00:38:54] due

[00:38:55] respect

[00:38:56] Brandon

[00:38:57] Ingram

[00:38:57] considers

[00:38:59] himself

[00:38:59] a

[00:38:59] number

[00:38:59] one

[00:39:00] now

[00:39:00] do

[00:39:01] I

[00:39:01] think

[00:39:01] he's

[00:39:02] a

[00:39:02] number

[00:39:02] one

[00:39:02] no

[00:39:02] but

[00:39:03] with

[00:39:04] the

[00:39:04] amount

[00:39:04] of

[00:39:04] time

[00:39:05] that

[00:39:05] Zion

[00:39:05] missed

[00:39:06] here

[00:39:07] was

[00:39:08] your

[00:39:08] bail

[00:39:08] count

[00:39:08] here

[00:39:09] was

[00:39:09] your

[00:39:09] guy

[00:39:10] who

[00:39:10] was

[00:39:11] taking

[00:39:12] care

[00:39:12] of

[00:39:13] a

[00:39:13] lot

[00:39:13] of

[00:39:14] your

[00:39:14] point

[00:39:14] production

[00:39:17] so

[00:39:18] he

[00:39:19] probably

[00:39:19] thinks

[00:39:20] that

[00:39:20] he

[00:39:20] deserves

[00:39:20] a

[00:39:21] certain

[00:39:21] amount

[00:39:21] of

[00:39:21] respect

[00:39:22] with

[00:39:23] inside

[00:39:23] your

[00:39:24] organization

[00:39:24] now

[00:39:25] David

[00:39:27] Griffin

[00:39:27] who

[00:39:28] was

[00:39:29] part

[00:39:30] of

[00:39:31] the

[00:39:31] Anthony

[00:39:32] Davis

[00:39:32] trade

[00:39:32] obviously

[00:39:33] in getting

[00:39:34] all these

[00:39:35] players

[00:39:35] and picks

[00:39:36] back

[00:39:36] and things

[00:39:36] of that

[00:39:37] nature

[00:39:37] he

[00:39:39] is

[00:39:40] going

[00:39:40] to charge

[00:39:40] to now

[00:39:41] lead

[00:39:41] this

[00:39:42] situation

[00:39:42] you

[00:39:43] also

[00:39:43] have

[00:39:44] the

[00:39:44] Benson

[00:39:45] family

[00:39:45] who

[00:39:46] when

[00:39:47] the

[00:39:48] husband

[00:39:48] was

[00:39:48] alive

[00:39:49] he

[00:39:49] probably

[00:39:49] cared

[00:39:50] a

[00:39:50] little

[00:39:50] bit

[00:39:50] about

[00:39:50] the

[00:39:50] team

[00:39:52] I

[00:39:52] don't

[00:39:53] think

[00:39:53] Mrs.

[00:39:53] Benson

[00:39:53] is

[00:39:54] hugely

[00:39:56] worried

[00:39:57] or concerned

[00:39:58] about the

[00:39:58] Pelicans

[00:39:59] I think

[00:39:59] she's more

[00:40:00] worried

[00:40:00] about the

[00:40:00] Saints

[00:40:02] than

[00:40:02] anything

[00:40:03] else

[00:40:05] because

[00:40:05] it's just

[00:40:06] the legacy

[00:40:06] what the

[00:40:07] Saints

[00:40:07] have meant

[00:40:07] to New

[00:40:08] Orleans

[00:40:09] but I

[00:40:10] think

[00:40:10] that

[00:40:12] David

[00:40:12] Griffin

[00:40:13] might have

[00:40:14] held on

[00:40:14] to Zion

[00:40:15] two years

[00:40:16] too long

[00:40:17] I think

[00:40:18] we might

[00:40:18] be looking

[00:40:19] at a

[00:40:19] situation

[00:40:20] where

[00:40:21] you're

[00:40:21] going to

[00:40:21] get

[00:40:21] pennies

[00:40:22] on the

[00:40:22] dollars

[00:40:22] for

[00:40:23] these

[00:40:23] guys

[00:40:24] and

[00:40:25] you're

[00:40:25] going

[00:40:26] to

[00:40:26] probably

[00:40:26] have

[00:40:26] to

[00:40:26] take

[00:40:26] a

[00:40:27] little

[00:40:27] bit

[00:40:27] of

[00:40:27] your

[00:40:27] medicine

[00:40:28] to

[00:40:29] get

[00:40:30] some

[00:40:30] of

[00:40:30] these

[00:40:31] guys

[00:40:31] off

[00:40:31] of

[00:40:32] your

[00:40:32] books

[00:40:32] because

[00:40:33] the

[00:40:34] problem

[00:40:34] is

[00:40:34] that

[00:40:35] Zion

[00:40:37] is

[00:40:37] enticing

[00:40:39] but his

[00:40:40] availability

[00:40:42] just

[00:40:42] quells

[00:40:43] that

[00:40:44] enticement

[00:40:45] like

[00:40:46] you can

[00:40:46] think

[00:40:46] of the

[00:40:47] possibilities

[00:40:47] with

[00:40:48] Zion

[00:40:48] you can

[00:40:50] think

[00:40:50] about

[00:40:50] who

[00:40:50] you

[00:40:51] pair

[00:40:51] him

[00:40:51] with

[00:40:52] on

[00:40:52] your

[00:40:52] team

[00:40:52] and

[00:40:53] how

[00:40:53] dynamic

[00:40:53] that

[00:40:54] would

[00:40:54] look

[00:40:54] and

[00:40:55] all

[00:40:55] of

[00:40:55] those

[00:40:55] things

[00:40:56] but the

[00:40:56] problem

[00:40:57] is

[00:40:57] his

[00:40:57] availability

[00:40:59] just

[00:40:59] really

[00:41:00] just

[00:41:00] pours

[00:41:00] cold water

[00:41:01] all over

[00:41:02] that

[00:41:02] those

[00:41:02] type

[00:41:03] of

[00:41:03] thoughts

[00:41:03] why

[00:41:04] would

[00:41:05] you

[00:41:05] want

[00:41:06] to

[00:41:07] invest

[00:41:08] 45

[00:41:09] plus

[00:41:09] million

[00:41:10] dollars

[00:41:10] into

[00:41:10] a

[00:41:11] guy

[00:41:12] right

[00:41:14] and

[00:41:15] we'll

[00:41:15] talk

[00:41:15] about

[00:41:16] because

[00:41:17] here's

[00:41:17] the

[00:41:17] thing

[00:41:18] he has

[00:41:18] a

[00:41:18] five

[00:41:19] year

[00:41:19] 197

[00:41:20] million

[00:41:20] dollar

[00:41:20] contract

[00:41:21] that

[00:41:22] is

[00:41:23] this

[00:41:24] is

[00:41:24] the

[00:41:24] first

[00:41:25] year

[00:41:26] Brandon

[00:41:27] Ingram

[00:41:27] who's

[00:41:28] making

[00:41:28] like

[00:41:28] 32

[00:41:30] wants

[00:41:31] to be

[00:41:32] paid

[00:41:32] accordingly

[00:41:33] to his

[00:41:34] peers

[00:41:35] they're

[00:41:36] not paying

[00:41:36] him

[00:41:36] and

[00:41:37] then

[00:41:37] CJ

[00:41:37] McCollum

[00:41:38] who

[00:41:38] is

[00:41:39] six

[00:41:39] foot

[00:41:40] two

[00:41:40] a

[00:41:40] very

[00:41:41] good

[00:41:41] jump

[00:41:42] shooter

[00:41:42] problem

[00:41:43] is

[00:41:44] not

[00:41:44] the

[00:41:44] greatest

[00:41:44] point

[00:41:45] guard

[00:41:45] but

[00:41:45] he's

[00:41:46] steady

[00:41:46] but

[00:41:47] you

[00:41:48] would

[00:41:48] love

[00:41:48] to

[00:41:48] have

[00:41:49] somebody

[00:41:49] else

[00:41:50] do

[00:41:50] the

[00:41:51] offensive

[00:41:51] initiation

[00:41:52] so

[00:41:53] how

[00:41:53] do

[00:41:53] you

[00:41:54] get

[00:41:54] rich

[00:41:54] of

[00:41:55] $33

[00:41:55] million

[00:41:56] of

[00:41:56] CJ

[00:41:57] McCollum

[00:41:59] you

[00:41:59] might

[00:41:59] have

[00:42:00] to

[00:42:00] attach

[00:42:00] some

[00:42:01] of

[00:42:01] your

[00:42:01] other

[00:42:01] more

[00:42:02] I

[00:42:05] would

[00:42:05] say

[00:42:05] favorable

[00:42:06] players

[00:42:07] to

[00:42:07] maybe

[00:42:08] get

[00:42:08] these

[00:42:09] deals

[00:42:09] done

[00:42:09] I'm

[00:42:10] not

[00:42:10] saying

[00:42:10] that

[00:42:10] this

[00:42:11] is

[00:42:11] something

[00:42:11] that

[00:42:11] you

[00:42:12] should

[00:42:12] do

[00:42:12] I

[00:42:13] think

[00:42:14] ultimately

[00:42:14] what

[00:42:15] happens

[00:42:15] is

[00:42:15] that

[00:42:15] Brandon

[00:42:16] even

[00:42:16] gets

[00:42:17] traded

[00:42:17] I

[00:42:18] don't

[00:42:18] know

[00:42:19] if

[00:42:19] CJ

[00:42:19] McCollum

[00:42:20] gets

[00:42:20] traded

[00:42:20] and

[00:42:21] I

[00:42:21] think

[00:42:21] Zion

[00:42:22] gets

[00:42:23] traded

[00:42:23] in the

[00:42:24] offseason

[00:42:26] those

[00:42:27] are

[00:42:27] my

[00:42:28] opinions

[00:42:29] those

[00:42:30] are

[00:42:30] guesses

[00:42:31] that I

[00:42:31] have

[00:42:32] on that

[00:42:33] now

[00:42:34] Zion's

[00:42:36] on-off

[00:42:36] impact

[00:42:36] is still

[00:42:37] notable

[00:42:37] the

[00:42:38] Pelicans

[00:42:39] are a

[00:42:39] plus

[00:42:40] 4.2

[00:42:41] in his

[00:42:41] net

[00:42:41] rating

[00:42:42] compared

[00:42:43] to a

[00:42:43] negative

[00:42:44] 7.8

[00:42:45] when he

[00:42:45] doesn't

[00:42:46] play

[00:42:46] so

[00:42:47] obviously

[00:42:47] when he's

[00:42:48] not on

[00:42:48] the court

[00:42:49] it impacts

[00:42:49] them

[00:42:50] greatly

[00:42:50] it's

[00:42:51] almost

[00:42:51] a 12

[00:42:52] yes

[00:42:52] 12

[00:42:52] point

[00:42:53] switch

[00:42:55] that's

[00:42:56] incredible

[00:42:57] but how

[00:42:58] much

[00:42:59] longer

[00:43:00] does this

[00:43:01] team bet

[00:43:01] on his

[00:43:02] availability

[00:43:03] and that's

[00:43:04] a question

[00:43:04] for New

[00:43:05] Orleans

[00:43:05] Pelicans

[00:43:05] fans

[00:43:07] do you

[00:43:08] want your

[00:43:08] do you want

[00:43:09] David Griffin

[00:43:10] to continue

[00:43:11] to wait

[00:43:11] because here's

[00:43:12] the thing

[00:43:12] his value

[00:43:14] is

[00:43:16] dead

[00:43:17] in the league

[00:43:18] that deal

[00:43:20] a couple

[00:43:20] years that

[00:43:21] we talked

[00:43:21] about

[00:43:22] the

[00:43:22] Portland

[00:43:22] deal

[00:43:23] where they

[00:43:24] were going

[00:43:24] to get

[00:43:25] the Portland

[00:43:26] pick

[00:43:27] which ended

[00:43:27] up being

[00:43:28] Scoot

[00:43:28] Henderson

[00:43:30] that was

[00:43:31] a real

[00:43:32] live

[00:43:32] situation

[00:43:33] it didn't

[00:43:34] happen

[00:43:34] but

[00:43:35] those two

[00:43:36] teams

[00:43:36] talked about

[00:43:37] that

[00:43:39] and that's

[00:43:40] when he

[00:43:40] would spend

[00:43:41] a lot

[00:43:41] of time

[00:43:41] in Portland

[00:43:42] remember

[00:43:42] that

[00:43:43] I have

[00:43:45] no idea

[00:43:46] what you

[00:43:46] could get

[00:43:47] for Zion

[00:43:48] now

[00:43:48] I don't

[00:43:49] think

[00:43:51] it will

[00:43:51] be very

[00:43:52] much

[00:43:53] so what

[00:43:54] do you

[00:43:54] do

[00:43:55] do you

[00:43:56] have enough

[00:43:56] pieces

[00:43:57] that you

[00:43:58] are fond

[00:43:59] of

[00:44:00] that you

[00:44:00] can build

[00:44:01] around

[00:44:02] these are

[00:44:03] questions

[00:44:03] do you

[00:44:05] have to

[00:44:05] have

[00:44:06] Zion

[00:44:06] there

[00:44:06] build

[00:44:07] up

[00:44:07] his

[00:44:08] trade

[00:44:08] value

[00:44:09] at least

[00:44:10] to a

[00:44:10] respectable

[00:44:11] level

[00:44:11] and then

[00:44:12] jettison

[00:44:13] him off

[00:44:16] this feels

[00:44:17] like a

[00:44:18] really

[00:44:18] defining

[00:44:19] moment

[00:44:19] for

[00:44:20] David

[00:44:21] Griffin

[00:44:21] the exec

[00:44:22] of the

[00:44:22] New Orleans

[00:44:23] Pelicans

[00:44:23] because

[00:44:24] there are

[00:44:24] really good

[00:44:25] pieces

[00:44:25] you got

[00:44:26] Trey

[00:44:26] Murphy

[00:44:27] the third

[00:44:27] you got

[00:44:28] Herb

[00:44:28] Jones

[00:44:29] this kid

[00:44:30] Jordan

[00:44:31] Hawkins

[00:44:32] love Jordan

[00:44:33] Hawkins

[00:44:33] he's hurt

[00:44:33] right

[00:44:34] but you

[00:44:35] have some

[00:44:36] real pieces

[00:44:37] that if

[00:44:37] you put

[00:44:38] a really

[00:44:39] good bet

[00:44:40] maybe on

[00:44:41] a team

[00:44:41] that was

[00:44:42] struggling

[00:44:42] has winning

[00:44:43] quality

[00:44:44] you could

[00:44:45] find a

[00:44:46] way

[00:44:47] to retool

[00:44:48] on the

[00:44:48] fly here

[00:44:50] but it's

[00:44:51] going to

[00:44:52] take some

[00:44:52] really

[00:44:53] true

[00:44:54] negotiating

[00:44:56] really

[00:44:56] true

[00:44:57] trade

[00:44:57] and

[00:44:58] my

[00:44:59] question

[00:44:59] to Pelicans

[00:45:00] fans

[00:45:01] are you

[00:45:04] satisfied

[00:45:06] the

[00:45:07] David

[00:45:07] Griffin

[00:45:08] regime

[00:45:08] are you

[00:45:09] satisfied

[00:45:10] with the

[00:45:10] results

[00:45:11] or

[00:45:13] would you

[00:45:13] rather have

[00:45:14] a completely

[00:45:15] new staff

[00:45:16] in there

[00:45:17] to make

[00:45:18] this decision

[00:45:19] to make

[00:45:19] the decision

[00:45:20] to tear

[00:45:20] down

[00:45:21] or to

[00:45:21] make

[00:45:22] trades

[00:45:22] that will

[00:45:23] keep us

[00:45:23] in the

[00:45:23] loop

[00:45:24] and

[00:45:25] maybe

[00:45:26] we can

[00:45:26] attract

[00:45:26] somebody

[00:45:27] or

[00:45:27] get a

[00:45:29] trade

[00:45:29] down the

[00:45:29] road

[00:45:30] that can

[00:45:30] help us

[00:45:30] because

[00:45:31] you're

[00:45:31] going to

[00:45:31] get

[00:45:31] some

[00:45:32] picks

[00:45:32] back

[00:45:32] from

[00:45:33] this

[00:45:33] you're

[00:45:34] not

[00:45:34] completely

[00:45:36] devoid

[00:45:37] of

[00:45:37] picks

[00:45:37] basically

[00:45:38] stacking

[00:45:39] up

[00:45:40] picks

[00:45:40] and

[00:45:40] having

[00:45:41] a

[00:45:41] mountain

[00:45:42] of

[00:45:42] picks

[00:45:42] a la

[00:45:43] OKC

[00:45:44] then

[00:45:45] you can

[00:45:45] start

[00:45:46] making

[00:45:46] your

[00:45:46] choice

[00:45:47] of what

[00:45:47] kind

[00:45:47] of

[00:45:47] player

[00:45:48] fits

[00:45:48] with

[00:45:48] Trey

[00:45:49] Murphy

[00:45:49] the

[00:45:49] third

[00:45:49] Jordan

[00:45:50] Hawkins

[00:45:51] and

[00:45:52] the

[00:45:53] rest

[00:45:53] of

[00:45:53] the

[00:45:53] crew

[00:45:53] that

[00:45:54] is

[00:45:54] inevitably

[00:45:55] going to

[00:45:55] make

[00:45:56] up

[00:45:56] the

[00:45:56] next

[00:45:56] iteration

[00:45:57] of

[00:45:57] the

[00:45:57] New

[00:45:57] Orleans

[00:45:58] Pelicans

[00:45:58] but

[00:45:59] the

[00:45:59] question

[00:46:00] is

[00:46:00] to

[00:46:00] the

[00:46:01] Pelicans

[00:46:01] fans

[00:46:01] and

[00:46:02] NBA

[00:46:02] fans

[00:46:02] should

[00:46:03] David

[00:46:04] Griffin

[00:46:04] make

[00:46:05] that

[00:46:05] decision

[00:46:05] should

[00:46:06] he

[00:46:07] even

[00:46:07] be

[00:46:07] to

[00:46:07] blame

[00:46:08] for

[00:46:08] Zion

[00:46:08] not

[00:46:09] really

[00:46:09] caring

[00:46:09] about

[00:46:10] his

[00:46:10] lifestyle

[00:46:11] or

[00:46:11] conditioning

[00:46:12] or

[00:46:12] what

[00:46:13] it

[00:46:13] is

[00:46:13] to

[00:46:13] be

[00:46:13] a

[00:46:13] pro

[00:46:14] these

[00:46:15] are

[00:46:15] questions

[00:46:15] we

[00:46:16] go

[00:46:17] back

[00:46:17] to

[00:46:18] Golden

[00:46:18] State

[00:46:18] you know

[00:46:19] why

[00:46:19] because

[00:46:20] even

[00:46:25] is

[00:46:26] that

[00:46:26] Jonathan

[00:46:27] Kaminga

[00:46:27] is

[00:46:28] still

[00:46:29] on

[00:46:30] the

[00:46:30] market

[00:46:31] what

[00:46:31] they're

[00:46:31] saying

[00:46:32] is

[00:46:32] that

[00:46:32] this

[00:46:33] trade

[00:46:33] also

[00:46:33] keeps

[00:46:34] Golden

[00:46:34] State

[00:46:34] under

[00:46:35] the

[00:46:35] first

[00:46:35] apron

[00:46:35] gives

[00:46:36] them

[00:46:36] flexibility

[00:46:37] for

[00:46:37] a

[00:46:37] larger

[00:46:38] trade

[00:46:38] down

[00:46:39] the

[00:46:39] line

[00:46:39] that

[00:46:40] could

[00:46:40] lead

[00:46:41] a

[00:46:42] package

[00:46:42] with

[00:46:43] Jonathan

[00:46:43] Kaminga

[00:46:44] to go

[00:46:45] star

[00:46:45] hunting

[00:46:46] who

[00:46:47] could

[00:46:47] be

[00:46:47] this

[00:46:48] star

[00:46:48] is

[00:46:49] it

[00:46:49] Jimmy

[00:46:50] Bo

[00:46:50] is

[00:46:51] it

[00:46:51] Zach

[00:46:51] Ledean

[00:46:52] is

[00:46:53] it

[00:46:53] the

[00:46:54] aforementioned

[00:46:55] LeBron

[00:46:55] James

[00:46:56] who

[00:46:57] could

[00:46:58] it

[00:46:58] be

[00:46:59] I

[00:46:59] don't

[00:47:00] know

[00:47:00] but

[00:47:00] I

[00:47:00] do

[00:47:01] know

[00:47:01] that

[00:47:01] whoever

[00:47:05] Kaminga

[00:47:06] back

[00:47:06] and

[00:47:06] who

[00:47:06] thinks

[00:47:07] of

[00:47:07] Jonathan

[00:47:08] Kaminga

[00:47:08] as

[00:47:09] a

[00:47:09] real

[00:47:09] asset

[00:47:10] is

[00:47:10] this

[00:47:11] something

[00:47:11] that

[00:47:11] you

[00:47:12] can

[00:47:12] maybe

[00:47:13] go

[00:47:14] to

[00:47:15] Washington

[00:47:16] with

[00:47:16] to

[00:47:17] get

[00:47:18] Kaminga

[00:47:18] does

[00:47:19] you

[00:47:20] need

[00:47:20] a

[00:47:20] real

[00:47:20] dig

[00:47:21] in

[00:47:22] that

[00:47:22] package

[00:47:23] do

[00:47:23] you

[00:47:23] go

[00:47:24] talk

[00:47:24] to

[00:47:24] who

[00:47:26] fix

[00:47:26] whatever

[00:47:27] tells

[00:47:27] you

[00:47:27] what

[00:47:28] are

[00:47:28] the

[00:47:28] biggest

[00:47:28] concerns

[00:47:29] in

[00:47:29] Golden

[00:47:30] State

[00:47:30] I

[00:47:31] will

[00:47:31] tell

[00:47:58] on

[00:47:59] on

[00:47:59] game

[00:48:01] you

[00:48:01] need

[00:48:02] to

[00:48:02] need

[00:48:02] to

[00:48:04] or

[00:48:05] 611

[00:48:05] to

[00:48:06] play

[00:48:06] alongside

[00:48:07] of

[00:48:07] him

[00:48:08] the

[00:48:08] problem

[00:48:09] is

[00:48:09] do

[00:48:10] we

[00:48:11] trust

[00:48:11] that

[00:48:12] Draymond

[00:48:13] green

[00:48:13] who

[00:48:14] was

[00:48:15] shooting

[00:48:15] above

[00:48:16] 40%

[00:48:17] on

[00:48:17] threes

[00:48:18] this

[00:48:18] year

[00:48:19] and

[00:48:19] just

[00:48:20] went

[00:48:20] through

[00:48:20] a

[00:48:21] stretch

[00:48:21] and

[00:48:22] we'll

[00:48:22] talk

[00:48:22] about

[00:48:22] it

[00:48:23] right

[00:48:23] now

[00:48:23] the

[00:48:24] Dallas

[00:48:24] Mavericks

[00:48:25] and

[00:48:25] the

[00:48:26] Golden

[00:48:26] State

[00:48:26] Warriors

[00:48:26] played

[00:48:27] a

[00:48:27] game

[00:48:27] the

[00:48:28] other

[00:48:28] night

[00:48:28] and

[00:48:29] guess

[00:48:29] what

[00:48:30] happened

[00:48:31] a

[00:48:32] bunch

[00:48:32] of

[00:48:32] threes

[00:48:32] went

[00:48:32] off

[00:48:33] a

[00:48:33] bunch

[00:48:34] of

[00:48:34] threes

[00:48:34] being

[00:48:34] shot

[00:48:35] they

[00:48:35] had

[00:48:36] the

[00:48:36] they

[00:48:36] had

[00:48:37] made

[00:48:37] 30

[00:48:37] threes

[00:48:37] in the

[00:48:38] first

[00:48:38] half

[00:48:38] between

[00:48:39] the

[00:48:39] two

[00:48:39] teams

[00:48:40] they

[00:48:41] had

[00:48:41] the

[00:48:52] Dallas

[00:48:53] shot

[00:48:53] over

[00:48:54] 60

[00:48:54] from

[00:48:55] the

[00:48:55] field

[00:48:56] Golden

[00:48:57] State

[00:48:57] shot

[00:48:57] over

[00:48:58] 50

[00:48:58] percent

[00:48:58] from

[00:48:59] three

[00:48:59] and

[00:48:59] still

[00:48:59] lost

[00:49:01] so

[00:49:01] they're

[00:49:03] looking

[00:49:03] for

[00:49:03] size

[00:49:05] where

[00:49:06] is that

[00:49:06] going to

[00:49:06] come

[00:49:06] from

[00:49:07] who

[00:49:08] is

[00:49:08] out

[00:49:08] there

[00:49:09] that

[00:49:09] you

[00:49:10] have

[00:49:10] heard

[00:49:10] of

[00:49:10] that

[00:49:11] fits

[00:49:11] that

[00:49:12] description

[00:49:12] I can

[00:49:13] tell

[00:49:13] you a

[00:49:14] couple

[00:49:14] names

[00:49:14] that

[00:49:14] are

[00:49:15] on

[00:49:15] that

[00:49:15] list

[00:49:15] let's

[00:49:16] get

[00:49:16] to

[00:49:16] it

[00:49:18] how

[00:49:18] about

[00:49:19] let's

[00:49:19] start

[00:49:20] with

[00:49:20] Chicago

[00:49:20] right

[00:49:21] we've

[00:49:22] heard

[00:49:22] about

[00:49:22] Zach

[00:49:22] Levine

[00:49:23] and

[00:49:24] his

[00:49:24] non-existent

[00:49:25] trade

[00:49:25] market

[00:49:26] but

[00:49:27] Nikola

[00:49:28] Vucevic

[00:49:28] is also

[00:49:30] up on

[00:49:31] the

[00:49:31] market

[00:49:31] here's

[00:49:31] a

[00:49:32] seven

[00:49:32] footer

[00:49:32] who

[00:49:33] can

[00:49:33] stretch

[00:49:34] the

[00:49:34] floor

[00:49:34] he

[00:49:35] does

[00:49:35] shoot

[00:49:35] threes

[00:49:36] he

[00:49:37] rebounds

[00:49:38] pretty

[00:49:41] greatest

[00:49:42] defender

[00:49:42] whatsoever

[00:49:43] so

[00:49:43] now

[00:49:44] do

[00:49:44] you

[00:49:44] have

[00:49:44] enough

[00:49:46] defenders

[00:49:47] around

[00:49:47] you

[00:49:48] that

[00:49:49] can

[00:49:49] hide

[00:49:50] Nikola

[00:49:50] Vucevic

[00:49:51] now

[00:49:52] here's

[00:49:52] the

[00:49:52] other

[00:49:52] thing

[00:49:54] usually

[00:49:54] if you're

[00:49:55] getting a

[00:49:55] seven

[00:49:55] footer

[00:49:56] you're

[00:49:56] going to

[00:49:56] want

[00:49:56] him

[00:49:57] to

[00:49:57] rim

[00:49:57] protect

[00:49:58] he

[00:49:58] doesn't

[00:49:59] fit

[00:49:59] the

[00:50:00] necessary

[00:50:02] vital

[00:50:02] of what

[00:50:03] Golden

[00:50:04] State

[00:50:04] is actually

[00:50:05] looking

[00:50:05] for

[00:50:06] even

[00:50:06] though

[00:50:06] he

[00:50:07] does

[00:50:07] have

[00:50:08] spacing

[00:50:08] ability

[00:50:09] to

[00:50:10] shoot

[00:50:10] the

[00:50:11] three

[00:50:12] so

[00:50:12] there's

[00:50:14] that

[00:50:14] now

[00:50:15] let's

[00:50:15] get

[00:50:15] into

[00:50:16] Zach

[00:50:16] Levine

[00:50:17] and

[00:50:17] what

[00:50:17] he's

[00:50:17] been

[00:50:18] doing

[00:50:18] this

[00:50:18] year

[00:50:19] his

[00:50:20] true

[00:50:20] shooting

[00:50:20] percentage

[00:50:21] is a

[00:50:21] career

[00:50:22] high

[00:50:22] 61.2

[00:50:24] percent

[00:50:24] this

[00:50:24] year

[00:50:25] but yet

[00:50:26] the Bulls

[00:50:27] have a

[00:50:27] negative

[00:50:28] 3

[00:50:29] point

[00:50:30] 8

[00:50:30] net

[00:50:30] rating

[00:50:31] when he's

[00:50:31] on the

[00:50:31] court

[00:50:32] he's

[00:50:32] not a

[00:50:33] good

[00:50:33] defender

[00:50:33] for

[00:50:34] somebody

[00:50:34] as

[00:50:35] athletic

[00:50:35] as

[00:50:35] he

[00:50:35] is

[00:50:37] but

[00:50:38] can

[00:50:38] he

[00:50:38] get

[00:50:38] you

[00:50:38] a

[00:50:39] bunch

[00:50:39] of

[00:50:39] points

[00:50:39] the

[00:50:41] hell

[00:50:41] yes

[00:50:41] he

[00:50:42] can

[00:50:42] that

[00:50:43] yes

[00:50:43] he

[00:50:44] can

[00:50:44] now

[00:50:45] the

[00:50:46] report

[00:50:47] is

[00:50:47] that

[00:50:47] the

[00:50:47] Lakers

[00:50:48] or

[00:50:48] Warriors

[00:50:48] are

[00:50:50] interested

[00:50:50] but

[00:50:51] the

[00:50:51] Bulls

[00:50:52] may

[00:50:52] not

[00:50:53] get

[00:50:53] the

[00:50:53] returns

[00:50:53] they're

[00:50:54] hoping

[00:50:54] for

[00:50:54] in

[00:50:56] this

[00:50:56] limited

[00:50:57] market

[00:50:57] value

[00:50:58] and

[00:50:59] Levine's

[00:51:00] massive

[00:51:00] contract

[00:51:01] is

[00:51:01] basically

[00:51:02] been

[00:51:02] the

[00:51:03] holding

[00:51:04] pin

[00:51:04] that

[00:51:05] has

[00:51:06] not

[00:51:06] allowed

[00:51:06] a

[00:51:07] trade

[00:51:07] to

[00:51:08] go

[00:51:08] through

[00:51:08] for

[00:51:10] this

[00:51:10] particular

[00:51:11] guy

[00:51:11] they're

[00:51:12] stuck

[00:51:12] Chicago

[00:51:13] unless

[00:51:14] they

[00:51:14] either

[00:51:14] add

[00:51:15] another

[00:51:15] asset

[00:51:16] to

[00:51:16] or

[00:51:17] they

[00:51:18] are

[00:51:19] not

[00:51:20] real

[00:51:20] excited

[00:51:22] about

[00:51:22] whatever

[00:51:22] they're

[00:51:23] getting

[00:51:23] back

[00:51:23] in

[00:51:23] return

[00:51:24] you're

[00:51:24] getting

[00:51:24] basically

[00:51:25] here

[00:51:25] we'll

[00:51:26] give

[00:51:26] you

[00:51:26] picks

[00:51:26] and

[00:51:27] then

[00:51:27] we're

[00:51:27] giving

[00:51:27] you

[00:51:28] the

[00:51:29] nastiest

[00:51:30] stuff

[00:51:30] we have

[00:51:31] on our

[00:51:31] roster

[00:51:33] and

[00:51:34] you'll

[00:51:34] take it

[00:51:35] and be

[00:51:35] excited

[00:51:36] about it

[00:51:36] because

[00:51:37] you got

[00:51:37] Zach

[00:51:38] Levine

[00:51:38] off

[00:51:38] your

[00:51:38] team

[00:51:40] they

[00:51:40] can

[00:51:40] go

[00:51:40] that

[00:51:41] direction

[00:51:41] or

[00:51:41] they

[00:51:41] can

[00:51:42] continue

[00:51:42] to

[00:51:42] allow

[00:51:43] Zach

[00:51:43] to

[00:51:44] build

[00:51:44] his

[00:51:45] trade

[00:51:45] value

[00:51:45] maybe

[00:51:46] as

[00:51:47] we

[00:51:47] get

[00:51:47] closer

[00:51:47] and

[00:51:48] closer

[00:51:48] to

[00:51:48] the

[00:51:48] deadline

[00:51:49] it

[00:51:50] becomes

[00:51:50] you know

[00:51:51] what

[00:51:51] beauty

[00:51:52] is

[00:51:52] in the

[00:51:53] eye

[00:51:53] of the

[00:51:53] beholder

[00:51:53] and

[00:51:54] would

[00:51:54] help

[00:51:55] us

[00:51:55] out

[00:51:55] because

[00:51:56] he

[00:51:56] does

[00:51:56] shoot

[00:51:57] the

[00:51:57] ball

[00:51:57] at a

[00:51:58] 40%

[00:51:58] clip

[00:51:59] on

[00:51:59] three

[00:51:59] he

[00:52:00] does

[00:52:00] know

[00:52:01] how

[00:52:01] to

[00:52:01] get

[00:52:01] downhill

[00:52:01] he

[00:52:02] does

[00:52:02] know

[00:52:03] how

[00:52:03] to

[00:52:03] pass

[00:52:03] maybe

[00:52:04] this

[00:52:04] is

[00:52:05] how

[00:52:05] you

[00:52:05] play

[00:52:06] the

[00:52:06] long

[00:52:06] game

[00:52:06] play

[00:52:07] the

[00:52:07] patient

[00:52:07] game

[00:52:08] and

[00:52:09] we

[00:52:09] get

[00:52:10] a

[00:52:10] desperate

[00:52:10] team

[00:52:11] around

[00:52:12] the

[00:52:12] trade

[00:52:12] deadline

[00:52:13] in

[00:52:14] February

[00:52:14] could

[00:52:15] all

[00:52:16] work

[00:52:16] out

[00:52:16] who

[00:52:16] knows

[00:52:17] now

[00:52:18] Brooklyn

[00:52:18] we

[00:52:19] made

[00:52:19] our

[00:52:19] case

[00:52:20] earlier

[00:52:20] about

[00:52:21] what

[00:52:21] Sean

[00:52:22] Mark

[00:52:22] should

[00:52:22] be

[00:52:22] doing

[00:52:22] we

[00:52:23] did

[00:52:24] like

[00:52:24] that

[00:52:24] Dennis

[00:52:25] Schroeder

[00:52:25] did

[00:52:25] finally

[00:52:26] get

[00:52:26] off

[00:52:26] the

[00:52:26] team

[00:52:26] we

[00:52:27] still

[00:52:28] think

[00:52:28] that

[00:52:28] camp

[00:52:28] Johnson

[00:52:29] and

[00:52:29] Dennis

[00:52:30] Dorian

[00:52:30] Finney

[00:52:31] Smith

[00:52:31] should

[00:52:32] leave

[00:52:32] also

[00:52:33] low-key

[00:52:34] camp

[00:52:35] Thomas

[00:52:35] might be

[00:52:35] another

[00:52:36] guy

[00:52:36] that

[00:52:37] you

[00:52:37] might

[00:52:37] want

[00:52:37] to

[00:52:38] think

[00:52:39] about

[00:52:39] we

[00:52:39] were

[00:52:40] talking

[00:52:40] about

[00:52:40] him

[00:52:40] part

[00:52:42] of

[00:52:42] team

[00:52:43] tank

[00:52:44] which

[00:52:53] so

[00:52:53] if

[00:52:54] you

[00:52:54] really

[00:52:54] turn

[00:52:54] it

[00:52:54] down

[00:52:55] to

[00:52:55] the

[00:52:55] studs

[00:52:56] you

[00:52:57] might

[00:52:57] want

[00:52:57] to

[00:52:57] add

[00:52:58] in

[00:52:58] Cam

[00:52:58] Thomas

[00:52:59] to

[00:52:59] your

[00:52:59] situation

[00:53:00] as

[00:53:00] well

[00:53:02] now

[00:53:02] I

[00:53:02] want

[00:53:02] to

[00:53:03] get

[00:53:03] to

[00:53:03] a

[00:53:04] story

[00:53:05] that

[00:53:05] was

[00:53:06] surprising

[00:53:07] to

[00:53:07] me

[00:53:07] and

[00:53:08] the

[00:53:08] squares

[00:53:09] are

[00:53:09] quietly

[00:53:09] one

[00:53:10] of

[00:53:10] the

[00:53:11] teams

[00:53:11] that

[00:53:11] are

[00:53:11] most

[00:53:11] intriguing

[00:53:12] teams

[00:53:13] in the

[00:53:13] league

[00:53:14] and

[00:53:14] also

[00:53:15] what

[00:53:16] they're

[00:53:16] looking

[00:53:16] for

[00:53:17] during

[00:53:17] this

[00:53:18] trade

[00:53:18] season

[00:53:19] because

[00:53:20] I

[00:53:21] thought

[00:53:21] that

[00:53:22] we

[00:53:22] were

[00:53:22] in

[00:53:23] a

[00:53:23] year

[00:53:23] of

[00:53:23] still

[00:53:24] development

[00:53:25] and

[00:53:25] discovery

[00:53:26] with

[00:53:27] our

[00:53:27] guy

[00:53:27] Victor

[00:53:28] Wynn

[00:53:28] by

[00:53:29] Yama

[00:53:30] but

[00:53:30] he's

[00:53:31] emerging

[00:53:31] as

[00:53:32] a

[00:53:32] generational

[00:53:33] talent

[00:53:33] we

[00:53:34] knew

[00:53:34] this

[00:53:34] when

[00:53:35] he

[00:53:35] first

[00:53:35] came

[00:53:35] into

[00:53:35] the

[00:53:36] league

[00:53:36] what

[00:53:36] he

[00:53:36] was

[00:53:36] going

[00:53:37] to

[00:53:37] be

[00:53:37] and

[00:53:39] now

[00:53:40] there

[00:53:40] are

[00:53:40] rumors

[00:53:41] that

[00:53:41] they're

[00:53:41] exploring

[00:53:42] getting

[00:53:43] him

[00:53:43] a

[00:53:43] co-star

[00:53:45] now

[00:53:45] Zion

[00:53:46] Williamson's

[00:53:46] name

[00:53:47] has

[00:53:47] been

[00:53:47] floated

[00:53:48] as

[00:53:48] a

[00:53:48] potential

[00:53:48] target

[00:53:49] for

[00:53:49] the

[00:53:49] San

[00:53:49] Antonio

[00:53:50] Spurs

[00:53:50] so

[00:53:51] imagine

[00:53:51] the

[00:53:52] possibilities

[00:53:52] of

[00:53:53] pairing

[00:53:53] with

[00:53:53] a

[00:53:54] healthy

[00:53:54] Zion

[00:53:56] now

[00:53:57] here's

[00:53:57] the

[00:53:57] thing

[00:53:58] I'm

[00:53:59] going

[00:53:59] to

[00:53:59] say

[00:53:59] this

[00:53:59] as

[00:54:00] softly

[00:54:00] as

[00:54:00] I

[00:54:00] possibly

[00:54:01] can

[00:54:03] I

[00:54:10] if

[00:54:10] you

[00:54:11] I

[00:54:12] think

[00:54:12] Popovich

[00:54:13] would

[00:54:13] actually

[00:54:14] get a

[00:54:14] chuckle

[00:54:15] out

[00:54:15] of

[00:54:15] this

[00:54:15] the

[00:54:16] way

[00:54:16] I'm

[00:54:16] about

[00:54:16] to

[00:54:17] say

[00:54:17] this

[00:54:17] if

[00:54:18] you

[00:54:18] truly

[00:54:19] don't

[00:54:19] want

[00:54:20] Popovich

[00:54:20] to

[00:54:20] come

[00:54:21] back

[00:54:22] you

[00:54:23] trade

[00:54:23] Zion

[00:54:24] Williamson

[00:54:24] to the

[00:54:25] San

[00:54:25] Antonio

[00:54:25] Spurs

[00:54:26] you

[00:54:28] might

[00:54:29] kill

[00:54:29] that

[00:54:29] man

[00:54:29] doing

[00:54:30] that

[00:54:32] the

[00:54:33] one

[00:54:34] thing

[00:54:34] about

[00:54:34] San

[00:54:35] Antonio

[00:54:35] is

[00:54:35] they

[00:54:36] play

[00:54:36] hard

[00:54:37] that

[00:54:38] hasn't

[00:54:39] been

[00:54:39] Zion's

[00:54:40] MO

[00:54:40] is

[00:54:41] clean

[00:54:41] hard

[00:54:41] just

[00:54:42] saying

[00:54:44] so

[00:54:45] I

[00:54:45] don't

[00:54:46] know

[00:54:46] about

[00:54:46] that

[00:54:47] I

[00:54:47] think

[00:54:48] if

[00:54:48] you

[00:54:48] look

[00:54:49] at

[00:54:49] the

[00:54:49] caliber

[00:54:49] of

[00:54:50] people

[00:54:50] that

[00:54:50] they

[00:54:50] brought

[00:54:50] in

[00:54:51] this

[00:54:51] year

[00:54:51] they

[00:54:52] brought

[00:54:52] in

[00:54:52] CP3

[00:54:53] Chris

[00:54:53] Paul

[00:54:54] they

[00:54:54] brought

[00:54:54] in

[00:54:55] Harrison

[00:54:55] Barnes

[00:54:56] what

[00:54:57] are

[00:54:57] the

[00:54:57] attributes

[00:54:58] that

[00:55:13] you

[00:55:14] they

[00:55:15] add

[00:55:15] add

[00:55:16] to

[00:55:17] their

[00:55:17] teams

[00:55:18] to

[00:55:18] their

[00:55:18] franchises

[00:55:19] those

[00:55:20] are

[00:55:20] the

[00:55:20] type

[00:55:20] of

[00:55:21] attributes

[00:55:21] that

[00:55:22] you

[00:55:22] hear

[00:55:22] when

[00:55:23] you

[00:55:23] hear

[00:55:23] Chris

[00:55:24] Paul

[00:55:25] and

[00:55:26] Harrison

[00:55:26] Barnes

[00:55:26] what

[00:55:27] kind

[00:55:28] of

[00:55:28] attributes

[00:55:28] do

[00:55:29] you

[00:55:29] hear

[00:55:29] when

[00:55:29] you

[00:55:30] talk

[00:55:30] about

[00:55:30] Zion

[00:55:31] awake

[00:55:33] yeah

[00:55:34] when

[00:55:35] he's

[00:55:35] there

[00:55:36] is

[00:55:37] dynamic

[00:55:37] when

[00:55:38] he's

[00:55:39] there

[00:55:39] there's

[00:55:41] going

[00:55:41] to

[00:55:41] be

[00:55:41] a

[00:55:42] highlight

[00:55:42] when

[00:55:43] he's

[00:55:43] there

[00:55:44] there

[00:55:44] are

[00:55:45] incredible

[00:55:46] productive

[00:55:48] spurts

[00:55:49] for

[00:55:50] the

[00:55:50] for

[00:55:50] New

[00:55:51] Orleans

[00:55:51] you

[00:55:52] imagine

[00:55:53] Greg

[00:55:54] Kalkovich

[00:55:55] who had

[00:55:56] to deal

[00:55:56] with

[00:55:57] the

[00:55:57] end

[00:55:57] saga

[00:55:58] of

[00:55:59] the

[00:55:59] Kawhi

[00:56:00] Leonard

[00:56:00] dealing

[00:56:01] with

[00:56:01] Zion

[00:56:01] Williamson

[00:56:04] y'all

[00:56:05] trying to

[00:56:05] kill

[00:56:06] that

[00:56:06] man

[00:56:06] do

[00:56:07] not

[00:56:08] put

[00:56:08] these

[00:56:09] type

[00:56:09] of

[00:56:09] rumors

[00:56:10] out

[00:56:10] into

[00:56:11] the

[00:56:11] ether

[00:56:11] that

[00:56:12] we

[00:56:12] trying

[00:56:13] to

[00:56:13] get

[00:56:13] Zion

[00:56:14] Williamson

[00:56:14] and

[00:56:15] I

[00:56:15] understand

[00:56:16] they

[00:56:16] wouldn't

[00:56:17] have to

[00:56:17] give up

[00:56:17] any

[00:56:18] what I

[00:56:19] would

[00:56:19] consider

[00:56:19] like

[00:56:20] prime

[00:56:21] assets

[00:56:22] that

[00:56:22] will

[00:56:22] be

[00:56:22] all

[00:56:23] negligible

[00:56:24] assets

[00:56:25] given

[00:56:26] up

[00:56:26] to

[00:56:26] get

[00:56:27] Zion

[00:56:28] Williamson

[00:56:29] I

[00:56:29] understand

[00:56:29] that

[00:56:30] but

[00:56:30] I

[00:56:30] just

[00:56:31] think

[00:56:31] the

[00:56:31] type

[00:56:32] of

[00:56:32] person

[00:56:32] that

[00:56:33] Victor

[00:56:34] is

[00:56:35] the

[00:56:36] type

[00:56:36] of

[00:56:36] organization

[00:56:37] that

[00:56:37] the

[00:56:37] San

[00:56:37] Antonio

[00:56:38] spur

[00:56:38] or

[00:56:39] I

[00:56:40] just

[00:56:40] don't

[00:56:40] see

[00:56:40] the

[00:56:41] fit

[00:56:41] now

[00:56:42] let's

[00:56:42] talk

[00:56:43] about

[00:56:43] the

[00:56:43] advanced

[00:56:43] stats

[00:56:44] shall

[00:56:44] we

[00:56:44] on

[00:56:44] Zion

[00:56:45] let's

[00:56:45] build

[00:56:46] him

[00:56:46] up

[00:56:47] if

[00:56:47] I

[00:56:47] was

[00:56:48] his

[00:56:48] agent

[00:56:48] this

[00:56:48] is

[00:56:48] what

[00:56:49] I

[00:56:49] will

[00:56:49] do

[00:56:51] Zion

[00:56:52] 20

[00:56:52] this

[00:56:53] year

[00:56:53] so

[00:56:53] far

[00:56:54] 24

[00:56:54] 24

[00:56:54] 24

[00:56:55] 24

[00:56:55] points

[00:56:55] a

[00:56:55] game

[00:56:55] 7

[00:56:56] 3

[00:56:56] rebounds

[00:56:57] that

[00:56:58] is

[00:56:58] a

[00:56:58] big

[00:56:58] jump

[00:56:59] he

[00:57:00] is

[00:57:00] also

[00:57:01] averaging

[00:57:01] 4

[00:57:01] 6

[00:57:02] assists

[00:57:02] a

[00:57:02] game

[00:57:03] now

[00:57:03] that

[00:57:03] is

[00:57:03] just

[00:57:03] in

[00:57:04] 20

[00:57:04] games

[00:57:04] now

[00:57:06] when

[00:57:07] he

[00:57:07] tells

[00:57:07] he

[00:57:07] he

[00:57:23] is

[00:57:24] that

[00:57:24] question

[00:57:24] does

[00:57:25] the

[00:57:26] other

[00:57:26] shoe

[00:57:26] drop

[00:57:26] when

[00:57:27] is

[00:57:27] he

[00:57:27] gonna

[00:57:27] get

[00:57:28] hurt

[00:57:28] how

[00:57:29] long

[00:57:29] is

[00:57:30] he

[00:57:30] gonna

[00:57:30] get

[00:57:30] hurt

[00:57:31] for

[00:57:31] are

[00:57:32] we

[00:57:32] going

[00:57:32] to

[00:57:32] miss

[00:57:33] him

[00:57:33] for

[00:57:34] 2

[00:57:35] games

[00:57:35] are

[00:57:36] we

[00:57:36] gonna

[00:57:36] miss

[00:57:36] him

[00:57:37] for

[00:57:37] a

[00:57:38] handful

[00:57:38] of

[00:57:39] games

[00:57:39] or

[00:57:40] are

[00:57:40] we

[00:57:40] gonna

[00:57:41] miss

[00:57:41] him

[00:57:41] for

[00:57:43] months

[00:57:45] and

[00:57:45] that's

[00:57:46] always

[00:57:46] the

[00:57:47] situation

[00:57:49] with

[00:57:49] Zion

[00:57:51] and

[00:57:51] it's

[00:57:51] every

[00:57:52] single

[00:57:52] year

[00:57:53] it

[00:57:54] has

[00:57:54] never

[00:57:55] changed

[00:57:56] all

[00:57:57] if

[00:57:57] he

[00:57:57] gets

[00:57:58] healthy

[00:57:58] what

[00:57:59] could

[00:57:59] we

[00:58:00] be

[00:58:00] in

[00:58:00] store

[00:58:00] for

[00:58:01] if

[00:58:01] Zion

[00:58:02] gets

[00:58:03] healthy

[00:58:03] what

[00:58:04] kind

[00:58:05] of

[00:58:05] numbers

[00:58:05] could

[00:58:06] the

[00:58:06] NBA

[00:58:07] be

[00:58:08] witnessing

[00:58:09] if

[00:58:10] Zion

[00:58:10] was

[00:58:11] healthy

[00:58:11] we're

[00:58:12] never

[00:58:12] gonna

[00:58:12] see

[00:58:12] it

[00:58:12] we

[00:58:13] have

[00:58:13] never

[00:58:14] seen

[00:58:14] he

[00:58:15] has

[00:58:16] never

[00:58:16] given

[00:58:18] us

[00:58:23] about

[00:58:23] his

[00:58:24] health

[00:58:24] his

[00:58:25] conditioning

[00:58:26] and

[00:58:26] what

[00:58:27] he

[00:58:27] puts

[00:58:27] into

[00:58:27] his

[00:58:28] body

[00:58:28] and

[00:58:29] how

[00:58:29] he

[00:58:29] has

[00:58:30] decided

[00:58:30] to

[00:58:31] long

[00:58:32] his

[00:58:33] career

[00:58:33] or

[00:58:33] whatever

[00:58:34] the

[00:58:34] case

[00:58:34] may

[00:58:34] be

[00:58:35] nothing

[00:58:36] of the

[00:58:36] sort

[00:58:36] so

[00:58:38] I

[00:58:38] find

[00:58:39] it

[00:58:39] odd

[00:58:39] that

[00:58:40] a

[00:58:41] team

[00:58:41] as

[00:58:42] buttoned

[00:58:43] up

[00:58:43] as

[00:58:43] a

[00:58:44] San

[00:58:44] Antonio

[00:58:44] Spurs

[00:58:45] would

[00:58:47] take

[00:58:47] a

[00:58:47] huge

[00:58:48] gamble

[00:58:48] because

[00:58:49] again

[00:58:50] we

[00:58:50] talked

[00:58:51] about

[00:58:51] the

[00:58:51] CBA

[00:58:52] when

[00:58:53] you

[00:58:53] start

[00:58:53] getting

[00:58:53] into

[00:58:54] contracts

[00:58:54] when

[00:58:55] they're

[00:58:55] 40

[00:58:56] 50

[00:58:56] million

[00:58:57] dollars

[00:58:57] annually

[00:58:58] involved

[00:58:59] that

[00:59:00] is

[00:59:00] a

[00:59:01] huge

[00:59:02] constraint

[00:59:03] on

[00:59:04] your

[00:59:05] cap

[00:59:05] situation

[00:59:06] you're

[00:59:06] talking

[00:59:06] about

[00:59:07] a

[00:59:07] little

[00:59:07] less

[00:59:08] than

[00:59:08] a

[00:59:08] third

[00:59:08] cap

[00:59:10] it

[00:59:12] is

[00:59:12] so

[00:59:13] punitive

[00:59:14] to be

[00:59:14] in a

[00:59:15] situation

[00:59:15] where

[00:59:16] you

[00:59:17] choose

[00:59:18] wrong

[00:59:19] we got

[00:59:21] a guy

[00:59:22] out here

[00:59:22] in

[00:59:23] Los Angeles

[00:59:23] who

[00:59:24] made

[00:59:25] a mistake

[00:59:25] what was

[00:59:26] it now

[00:59:26] three

[00:59:27] years

[00:59:27] ago

[00:59:27] he

[00:59:28] won't

[00:59:29] even

[00:59:29] make

[00:59:29] a

[00:59:29] trade

[00:59:30] because

[00:59:30] he's

[00:59:30] so

[00:59:30] scared

[00:59:32] I'm

[00:59:33] talking

[00:59:33] about

[00:59:33] Rob

[00:59:33] Polinka

[00:59:34] if

[00:59:34] you

[00:59:35] hadn't

[00:59:35] guessed

[00:59:36] he's

[00:59:37] so

[00:59:49] trade

[01:00:12] bsky

[01:00:12] social

[01:00:13] and

[01:00:14] also

[01:00:24] is

[01:00:24] what

[01:00:25] now

[01:00:28] you

[01:00:47] of

[01:00:47] the

[01:00:47] pelicans

[01:00:48] they

[01:00:48] blow

[01:00:48] it

[01:00:48] up

[01:00:49] should

[01:00:49] they

[01:00:49] keep

[01:00:50] Zion

[01:00:50] for

[01:00:50] another
