NBA Focus Spurs Spur Tradition and Pistons are In a Season Long Struggle

[00:00:00] It's Monday, you know what time it is. FRPC is back on the air. I'm your coach, Vince and welcome to the most downloaded podcast by all my friends and colleagues and people in the analytics department. So here we are. We're going to talk about whoops.

[00:00:21] It's going to be great. I'm excited. And we got some crazy topics for you today. And we're going to talk a lot of couple things. We've been very hit or miss. We were like a multi day podcast during the week in because of the move in displacement and

[00:00:43] some other stuff right now and we're waiting for the place to get ready and trust me. One is ready, it will be awesome. But we are we are efforting to continue to record.

[00:00:57] We have a meat ship set type situation right now, but at some point it will get better. And I'm excited about it. So buckle up and let's get into this. Let's get it to this spot. So the first couple things I want to talk about is this one.

[00:01:15] We're going to talk about the San Antonio Squire's first second. I had a conversation with world renowned doctor. Dr. Hall yesterday. And we got to the San Antonio Squire's now. Dr. Hall is a friend of mine.

[00:01:31] He is the most world renowned TV physician when it comes to looking at injuries and telling you how long they're going to be out. Now, it's all scientific right? This is all scientific and everything like that.

[00:01:50] We're not going to get into what he does, but we were having a conversation about the spurs. And the reason why I want to bring this up is because there's a lot of confusion out there.

[00:02:03] There's a lot of people who are dismayed by the offense in San Antonio. And I understand that and here's what I will tell you is this. I understand you're concerned about spurs forward. Jeremy Saohan being the on ball initiator. There's three things in mind.

[00:02:25] First, the spurs are three and ten. They weren't going anywhere this year. If you looked at what they did in the off season as far as free agency,

[00:02:36] you could tell that this was a year where they were just trying to give as much runway as possible for Victor Wimbain. Keep in mind, as much as we want to cultivate these teams and build them and distract them and put them all in this area and say,

[00:03:02] okay, let's get a fully formed team. I understand where everybody's coming from with that. I do. I'm not a, I know it looks clucky sometimes. I know it looks, it sometimes they just got off and sometimes they do not get the ball to Victor Wimbain by Yamma.

[00:03:20] So these are all concerns that definitely hear these concerns that are very valid and not sit here and then tell you you're wrong or anything like this. But I, what I do want to say is this. Let's face facts. Trade zones is a good player.

[00:03:40] But I believe that trade zones is a solid backup in this league for many, many years to come. Now people will say that I'm throwing shade towards trade zones. No, I find him to be incredibly effective to run a team and construct the offense.

[00:03:57] The problem is that at some point Victor Wimbain Yamma is going to, I mean he's showing it already. He's showing how good he is and how much better he's going to be. And along with that you got to see what you got.

[00:04:14] You got to see if Stohan can be a secondary initiator. I think why they're giving him all these reps is so that he can see a ton of different. State, shape sizes and also different defenses.

[00:04:31] So that's where I think we're at all coming from when it comes to that. Now what I will say is that when you look at this situation, when you look at it, I understand again. Hold on for a second. My light. I got a new studio light.

[00:04:51] Got a new studio light man. So cool. Shout out to my wife who is helping me out doing this. So again, getting back to San Antonio, great situation.

[00:05:03] I like what they're doing even though it is manning to see four or five minutes where Victor Wimbain Yamma is on the court. And you don't see him get the ball. So I understand what everybody is saying. I'm just saying where you come from.

[00:05:20] But I think at this point what we need to do is embrace the on block creation by Jeremy Sohan and also Victor Wimbain by Yamma because he's doing it as well. I think it's essential to the development of both of these players.

[00:05:33] And I think that right now what we need to do as a collective as people who are really enjoying what we're seeing in San Antonio is just relax for a second and let it play out and see if now see here's the thing.

[00:05:48] If next year Jeremy Sohan from all of what he is gained as far as the experience this year, if he is not able to utilize that, yeah, it was a failed year. But I don't think it can be.

[00:06:02] I think as much as in the other thing that comes along with this and I'm sorry that I'm all over the place. I'm so excited to talk to you guys.

[00:06:12] But Victor needs a ball in his hands too and I understand the argument that if you had trade Jones on the floor, he would. But also part of development is not like okay the skills on the court.

[00:06:31] Also part of development is Victor is the going to be the leader of that team. We all know that he the all the hopes rely on him.

[00:06:45] So if all the hopes rely on him and he needs to be an effective leader at some point Victor is going to feel comfortable on up to ask for the ball. Like hey, you guys are not the number one pick.

[00:07:02] I'm the number one pick and I've seen the ball in four minutes and that's a problem because I'm the franchise. So if that's going on, if that's what's going to be happening. Then guess what we have we have what we want.

[00:07:18] So I think the the San Antonio split will be okay. I don't think this is a real problem whatsoever. I do completely get what everybody's coming from and they feel just desperate to see Victor.

[00:07:36] And we have the ball and be able to manifest all these incredible skills and these incredible talents that he has that he's already shown us. And we can't wait till he's fully formed, but we got three or four years for that so looking forward to that but.

[00:07:51] Fans of Victor fans of the San Antonio spars. I tell you this and I tell you this unequivocally. We'll actually be better and long run that these two guys are able to do this. Then there's more benefit for this right now than there is.

[00:08:15] Downside so that's why I'll go with that so everybody chill out on our guy when we everybody chill out on pop everybody chill out on Jeremy so hand. He's going to play a long time in the league he's going to make a lot of money.

[00:08:34] And he's going to be a contributor to a good team and maybe even stay with the San Antonio spars and be that glue guy on the bench that they need. So I am not worried at all about this. Now we're going to move on.

[00:08:54] I want to talk about the pistons a little bit and the reason why I want to bring them up is because obviously they have not been good. They have been in a situation where.

[00:09:10] It's been clunky it's and we all knew this going in that's the thing that really is kind of striking is that we are acting like we didn't know that this was a possibility. So far the pistons on the year are a robust.

[00:09:35] Two and twelve okay it's not good. Cade struggling in shooting but he doesn't have a lot of. Shooting around him. His drives to the lanes are clogged up. Boy on back down of it has been hurt. And nobody else really has stepped up to shoot the rock.

[00:10:05] In the way where. We can draw a little less attention to Kate. So this is kind of where we are with the Detroit pistons. There young yes I understand that was a loss year last year we Kate.

[00:10:20] Well now we're back on track and guess it is not looking great. But there's so many variables to this and we're going to get into them and I kind of wanted to break this down. First and foremost we we killed the triet when it happened.

[00:10:36] We killed the trade over the summer and we're not going to be the dead horse but why is when. Minutes are taking away from the development of the younger the younger guys and listen I understand that he deserves an opportunity just like the next guy.

[00:10:53] I just think with the team that he's on right now this is not the team. Or he's not the guy that I would want to invest in if I'm Detroit.

[00:11:04] Let me just go play it like that if I'm Detroit I do not invest a lot of time and developmental energy into. James Weissman. He also sounds that Jay Nivey is not a a multi guy at this point in time we talked about this last part.

[00:11:24] Here's the thing they need shooting. Like desperately they need to get a reliable outside shooter to take pressure. Okay now here's the thing who are you going to trade. Who's it going to be? Who's in your who's in your mix that you don't think is going to.

[00:11:48] Who's going to be viable for you and two or three years. Now the glaring thing is Jay Nivey. I know a lot of people have talked about them and a lot of people don't understand what's going on with multi and him and trying to figure out why.

[00:12:06] Ivy is not getting the same opportunities as a saw or whomever but here's the thing a saw plays X he plays really good defense. He tries super hard. He rebounds a ball and he effectively impacts again.

[00:12:24] Now it's not leading to wins because the shot is not great and whatever and this is thing that we're kind of talking about is that if you don't have at least a couple knock down shooters on your team. You're lost because the pay is going to be packed.

[00:12:44] It's going to be absolutely packed and there's no way that somebody's going to be able to get in that and I don't care how talented I think Kay coming him is for the Christians.

[00:13:00] The question is, are they in a point where they are going to do something drastic? And at this point I don't know. I don't think so. Get them down to really any rooms out there.

[00:13:21] They're having been any little whispers out there that say they're looking to make a deal. We got other teams and we're going to talk about those shortly. But the distance right now are struggling.

[00:13:35] It's a new regime everything is different and now what we need to do is just allow it to play out. Now, I do find it very, very funny that Steven Siles is on this coaching staff.

[00:13:51] And the reason why I say that is because last year in meco everybody drink because we're about to do a Houston rocket update. And so, Nico would just lose his mind.

[00:14:03] Steven Siles was the worst coach in the league and they did not look to have a realistic offense in Houston last year. It looked terrible. You had guys just taking shots for no reason. You didn't look at Houston. They looked like a really good team.

[00:14:30] And what I mean by that is not like, oh they're going to win 50 games or anything. What I'm saying is that from last year to this year the Houston rockets look dramatically different.

[00:14:41] And yeah, you could say okay, they added to veterans and you know, they added, you know, email, it's a dope and he's made his difference, but if that's the case, that's what you're telling me. That tells me that last year the inmates were running the asylum.

[00:14:58] And if that's the case we're looking now at a situation where the Detroit pissons are 2012, it doesn't look good. And Steven Siles is on that bench. So I'm not saying that he's the reason. I think there's a mirror to reason. I don't like why isn't it being there?

[00:15:20] I'm kind of still scratching my head about bullying on by Donovage being there. Why didn't you not trade him last year? The Ivy situation is kind of scary because you wasted it. Well, you didn't waste it.

[00:15:34] You invested a fourth overall pick on him or fifth overall pick on him. Sorry, Sacramento. You got Keegan Murray. And by the way, to those Detroit pissed in hands out there and also, and I will say it too,

[00:15:50] I was not a person who really thought that Keegan Murray at the fourth overall pick was right for Sacramento. But what it was I wrong. But what it was I wrong. But I have a, I try to stay humble.

[00:16:09] I try to be like, hey, listen, I'm going to make some mistakes on this pot. So you guys bear with me. We are a transparent podcast and we give it to you real when we make a mistake.

[00:16:21] We, we tell you now the Detroit pissing fans have taken it to like an extra level. I think over like the last two or three years. And if you talk to fan bases like Houston who I do have some in the world.

[00:16:38] I do have some intimate knowledge of that fan base. There's many friends that are Houston rocket fans and they're war with Detroit piston fan. Over the last couple years talking about is Jayling Green trash and cutting him is better and this, that the other.

[00:17:01] And then all we get crazy draft picks and we know how to draft and Sacramento doesn't. You guys need to calm down and face reality. Guess what? You're going to have another high pick this year. And why is that? Because right now your team is not competitive.

[00:17:29] And you don't have the necessary pieces on the roster to fix it. And trading assets at this point as far as trading assets and in sense of giving up future traffic or future draft capital if you want to put it that way.

[00:17:48] Would be a derelection of duty at the highest level if you did that right now. So you're going to have the grinning barriate Detroit piston fans on I feel that for you, but this is where we are.

[00:18:04] Okay, we're going to move on to another topic that I have and I'm going to make a proclamation. But Miami heat. We love the Miami heat on this podcast because they play hard all the time. It doesn't matter if they're under man, they're still going to play hard.

[00:18:27] But we want to give love to a guy we believe. Listen, I know he's gotten his credit around the league. I know people know who this dude is. I know they look in for this do when they come into town because they know what it's about to be.

[00:18:45] When you play. Bam out of bio. Bam out of bio is having a terrific season so far. And in this season. As I go to pull up his numbers real quick, give me one second and as I'm talking about that.

[00:19:09] Yes, I do understand that the situation in Miami has been a little ragged as far as play. As far as you know whatever, but you know Miami has that mentality that no matter what they're going to be good.

[00:19:29] So it's not even a problem at this point in time. Now I will tell you that so far, down this year he's averaging 22.8 points of game 10.2 rebounds a game and 3.9 assists. I think the most important thing about this is that he shooting longer drum shots.

[00:19:52] He's not just in the paint. He seems to have added some 15 to 18 foot turnaround to his game. That where they're previously, they were there early on in his career and then as he got a little bit older.

[00:20:12] He was more the muscle in the defensive guy but this year because they did not make the trade for Dane and they weren't able to do anything else in the offseason as far as bringing a talent like Dane.

[00:20:27] Bam out of bio has definitely showed her a bigger responsibility of the offense and he's first and then honestly. He always has had this and he just didn't need to do it. But this year they got to have reliable scoring.

[00:20:46] You know that Jimmy Butler is going to be there for the postseason. Jimmy kind of, he's there when he's there weren't big games are there maybe statement games. And I'm not saying he doesn't play hard or whatever.

[00:21:01] I'm just saying that the Jimmy Butler that we see in the playoffs is a different Jimmy Butler than we see in the regular season. But Bam is going hard and let's also talk about a couple other things that I saw with him.

[00:21:17] It's not just that he's scoring more and it's not just that he's kind of re-engaged with his 15 to 18 foot. The 18 foot shot creation game. The thing that I am absolutely in love with Bam out of bio is just the offensive creation that he's providing.

[00:21:45] He is setting just tremendous screens this year. And I know that something that he's done in the past but this is something that he needs to continue to do. If my amy is going to have any shot whatsoever and currently the heat are eight and five.

[00:22:07] So could those who do us to the mind me he and you knew if there was any organization that would be denied.

[00:22:17] Deny, Dame little, little and then still be able to have a pretty good season when a lot of people in the NBA think that their co-goards are kind of bare.

[00:22:32] Because they're doing this we kind of gum two picks maybe like a what is that you know when you pop the top on a coke or whatever that type of thing. You know you get crazy stuff going on so there you go.

[00:22:50] Hold on for one minute I will return and we will be back and we are back okay let's finish with some trade rumors okay. There's a couple things that I want to talk about what these trade runes.

[00:23:11] I believe that Alex Coruso, the guard from the Chicago Bulls is going to fetch a better haul.

[00:23:21] They want that Levine who's been all over the news been all over your Twitter if you're Chicago fan if you are keeping up on the trade market Zach Levine and Chicago it looks like they are ending their partnership basically.

[00:23:43] It looks like he will be on the move now here's a thing. December 15 is an inflection point and then I think. May a January is also an inflection point depending on when the reagent signed their contracts in the off season last year so.

[00:24:03] Until December 15 we don't have anything to talk about when it comes to Zach Levine but there is one particular thing like I said. Coruso I believe will fetch a bigger haul. Then Levine he's actually more. Wanted by married a teams.

[00:24:29] Things that Levine now you would say well why is that well there's two or three things one let's be honest that Levine is not going and this is no disrespect to that franchise or that city. He's not going to Charlotte he's not going to.

[00:24:51] Sanitani all right now he's not going to Utah he's going to a place where they can win. Where they're competitive where either they are a serious conference final contender. A serious playout like if this team gets right.

[00:25:15] They can make a bunch of noise in the playoffs somebody is going to jump on Levine and I know that at some point this year he will be wearing a different uniform. Now what goes on with that who knows right who knows when that happens.

[00:25:32] We sat here for months thinking about gang getting traded like the very next day and then it took three months so. This could be a while or it could be a short term but it looks like that divorce is coming.

[00:25:46] Now there was an interesting report by a sham sharonia of the athletic in regards to. A team that is close to our hearts. It's the beam lighters the Sacramento Kings.

[00:26:06] Sham reported that the Sacramento Kings are going to be active on the trade market they are looking for another difference maker. They have also been connected with Zach Levine. I don't think that's a bad idea actually.

[00:26:25] To pair him with Deer and Fox I don't I don't think that's a bad idea at all. What that being said they also act on the Coruso market they're also active in the what I call the pump fake of the year.

[00:26:43] The situation which is Toronto because we never know if they're going to trade it somebody or not. But Sacramento is obviously looked at their team they see that there are some deficiencies they do not seem like. I'm going on them right now and there's no shade with that.

[00:27:09] The here's the thing Sacramento is going to win a ton of regular season games right now the way the roster set up. I don't think they're good enough to win a postseason series so if that's the case and you need some reinforcements.

[00:27:31] I like the mentality that Sacramento has and especially for a franchise like that who. Up until last year hadn't been in playhouse for like 16 years just a long drought along drought of futility. But now has turned it around. And.

[00:27:50] And I'm going to keep my eye out on Sacramento making a move because I think also. What we're going to see this year and I could be 100% wrong but I think some people are going to strike earlier.

[00:28:07] And let's wait till the absolute drop deadline date because I think you're especially in the West. You're trying to get playoff position. Now certain teams are not going to care about that because they have a category.

[00:28:26] They have family field players or pieces on their roster maybe they have a championship coach or whatever case and be so they know they they can steer. And the.

[00:28:39] The winners of an NBA season but for the Sacramento Kings, what they need to do is contain you to win and if they can get another guy. That would be awesome now here's the drawback to Sacramento getting another guy though. Kegan Murray's development.

[00:29:02] Well, depending on what you think of Kegan Murray or what you think of the team.

[00:29:07] This is how I kind of realize it right now we all know that the amount of Simone is in deer fox are the two kind of pillars of that team right they get the most shots. They handle almost those are the two guys on the squad that.

[00:29:25] All the pillars. Mike Brown the head coach of the Sacramento Kings his total Kegan Murray. Y'all meant you have the green light we want you to be that third pillar. So before we're all like oh, they got to go get another guy.

[00:29:46] I think they're going to be one of those teams that wait a little bit longer just because they're going to see if Kegan Murray. Kegan Murray can be that guy. So that's what we have on Sacramento shots out to the state capital of California, you know how.

[00:30:04] Chris H. Shaw and shots out to our guy Patrick and Nick who loves Sacramento. All right, let's get to the one other thing that I talked about last podcast that I want to kind of hopefully put to bed.

[00:30:23] And kind of give you my thoughts on it a little bit more because I don't know if I made myself clear on the low beam to the Laker rumors and let me tell you why. Let me talk to you.

[00:30:42] The Lakers definitely are 18 that is looking at living okay, I know that. The question is and I raised this last time is why would you trade your debt. That you fought so desperately to get back after the complete failure of the Russell Westbrook experiment.

[00:31:09] You didn't have any debt. You got debt and now you're going to give it away for living.

[00:31:16] You know, if you were saying it, you're going to give it away for, you know, I mean they don't have true different makers going to get like four or five drafts right. Or three drafts, swaps and whatever.

[00:31:29] But yeah, you can continue to add talent to your team or you can see if the talent that you have assembled over the previous off season will coalesce and come together.

[00:31:43] Keep in mind, I know it's where like one six to the season through but it's still early before we start freaking out about let's start making the beam trace to the Lakers and D-Lows gone and this is gone because here's the thing.

[00:32:03] I think really hot tomorrow is going to be very important to that team and if you are, you get a hope if you get Levine as a Laker fan. That he is ready because right now he shouldn't like 42% from the field and like 34% from three.

[00:32:23] And he definitely has had as Bill Simmons likes to call it because he is he is the body language doctor.

[00:32:31] His body language has not been great so far this year, so with all that being said, I'm a person that says stay away from that Levine if you're the Lakers is not because I don't think he's an incredible talent.

[00:32:44] It's just I don't know if that's not the right piece fit for what you're doing. Everybody says all Lakers could use more explosive score they could you 100% right but what it takes away from your team with the depth that you built up after not having any.

[00:33:10] Because the scary world is this like I said on last part and if you didn't listen to it, please go back and support the archive pods because.

[00:33:22] I'm going to put a lot of work into it and hopefully we're here to entertain you and give you some information so. Levine gets hurt LeBron gets hurt AD gets hurt. So if you don't have depth and these guys are injury prone.

[00:33:40] Why the hell would you get up your depth for that? I can understand if you were getting a guy who's like guaranteed I play 78 games, I play 75 games whatever. In the West you can't miss 20 games.

[00:33:57] Which brings me to a team that I want to talk about which is the Memphis Grizzlies because here's a team. Tuna injuries ton of injuries. John Morant as we know suspended for 25 games we got all of that. By the time John Morant gets back this season's over.

[00:34:23] Yo, sorry Memphis no no shame. Love your organization love you know I think you're in a loose department. For an office, Climans great, Tation Corinthians great. I love the coach. I love everything about your franchise here's a problem. You have a ton of injuries you're decimated this year.

[00:34:50] Guess what? It's going to be a bad year right now. Now one one's jog is back and they fight their way back into the playoffs. Probably maybe I don't know but it's the West is deep. There are no 9's off.

[00:35:10] So if you're going to you're going to play like at a like a 620 clip. To get yourself back into the playoff picture so. Best of luck to you Grizzlies nation. Best of luck to you Chris Vernon. So I know you completely disagree with this take but I understand.

[00:35:35] This is a good idea. There's one other thing that we need to talk about and then we can go ahead and let you go and then I can kind of tell you what's going on for the rest of the week.

[00:35:49] There's a couple things I want to hit on Kyle Kuzma. Now I think last part we talked about the just the Jordan pool experience. Man you're going to see a bunch of shots thrown up. You're going to see some very Cavalier passing.

[00:36:10] And you're going to see a lot of dribble dribble between clean hezys. But Jordan pool is living his best life. Which takes us to Kyle Kuzma. Now one of the things that is needed in the NBA and everybody needs one of these is a big win.

[00:36:32] A big win who can switch. Big win who can rebound. A big win who can score. Kyle Kuzma offers all these things and if I'm Washington, I'm trying to get as much. I'm trying to extract as much as I possibly can from whomever the franchise is.

[00:36:55] That wants to acquire him. But that's the guy on Washington to me that has the most value. Because I don't know if they're going to trade ties Jones, the backup point guard who's back and out Jordan pool now.

[00:37:15] I think there might be a possibility that it might be Kuzma and Jordan pool leaving rather than everybody else. I don't think Jordan pool is going to be the pillar of the Washington Wizards for like the next 10 years. Sorry.

[00:37:38] So I mean it's just it's weird, but I think Kyle Kuzma on a good team is going to be helpful. Please, God, don't let it be the different nuggets. Yeah, I can see him being a wonder Atlanta will want to reimagine their franchise.

[00:37:58] That might be a way of going. There are a lot of teams that could use him and there's a lot of teams that would definitely love to have them. So it'll be interesting to see who actually pulls the trigger on Kyle Kuzma.

[00:38:10] But I think one of one of the contenders will do this. Okay, and then we're going to leave off on a good note. We're going to talk about Tyre's Hobbit, but in a little bit.

[00:38:23] We're going to talk about the paces and let's also give a little love to the New York mix who in the magic who are playing excellent ball right now. If you look at the standings and the ease the magic are fifth. The New York mix are six.

[00:38:41] The Pacers are seven. And if that's the case is that's what we're looking at. That's what we're going through. We're in a situation where this is all good. Now, the nicks are just going to play hard all the time. That's what they're going to do.

[00:39:01] I'm still trying to figure out now here's the Mitchell Robinson for the mix that played great. He's been an absolute machine on the board. He's been great defensively. And he's provided some offense that we had not seen for a while now excuse the dog. You got a dog.

[00:39:22] The Pacers and the team that I wanted to get to Tyre's Hobbit is having an incredible year, and it looks like he is going to be an NBA player. They have one of the best offense in NBA history so far as we're tracking 12 games in.

[00:39:52] What Tyre's Hobbit is doing with the 12 and a half assists at the 30-some-mought points again is all the stuff that we thought we would see in Sacramento. I'm talking excuse me and I'm tying it to Sacramento in the reason why I'm tying it to Sacramento is this.

[00:40:15] Excuse me again. I have a frog in my throat. Okay, the trade did help them. The demonetist of Monastery did help them. But the upside of this kit and the absolute policing that the Indiana Pacers did, I believe they're sailing is higher than Sacramento's.

[00:40:46] Now they don't play a lick of defense, they're in credit for the watch and you're going to see them score on their 35 points again.

[00:40:55] Now next year hopefully we get some defense out of this team but this year they're just going to be a whole hell a lot of fun to watch. So enjoy it and enjoy the upcoming Thanksgiving.

[00:41:09] And before I go this is the thing that I want to talk about. Here's the main main point. I'm going to try to tell you, like listen we have struggled getting pods up and all of that but here's the thing.

[00:41:20] I am going to have a Thanksgiving party won't come on Thanksgiving. We're going to do it. We're going to probably record it Wednesday. I'm going to get with my guys. I'm going to have them record stuff. I think maybe we can collab a little bit and come together.

[00:41:40] But we're going to do NBA things that we are thankful for. And I can't wait to share that with you guys and I'll drop it on Thursday. So look out for that.

[00:41:54] It'll happen on Thursday so as you're chilling out with the fam, eating the turkey, eating the dressing, eating the kind of thing. Eating the kind of greens, eating the macaroni and cheese, eating the ham, taking care of business. You know what I'm saying? Pumpkin pie style. Okay.

[00:42:11] What you're doing out at that, and you just need a break. And you say hey, I understand this football on. But I want to get on my man's pot. I want to see what's going down in the NBA and what they're thankful for.

[00:42:25] You come to us or you come to us after the games, right? You just come to us after the games and they will be there. Listen, the NFL's king we understand that but this pot is very important to me. So it's very important to you.

[00:42:38] Okay. That's how we do that. Right? That's the transaction that you and I have. Okay. So what that being said is going to pleasure. My name is Vince. We do have some contributors that I want to shut out right now.

[00:42:54] I want to shut out Dr. Kim to Hall. I want to shut out Nico and me to tell him. And I also want to show the newest member to the FRPC family, gang black burn, who is in Australia. I told you a lot of the last time.

[00:43:14] We are going to get him on the pie. We're just trying to get through Thanksgiving and all that. And then we will try to get him in early December. So you can hear our saucy, all Australian. He has a lot of great takes.

[00:43:33] He thinks the game will basketball. He watches and consumes a game of basketball. And I cannot wait for you guys to hear him in some of the trade rumors and stuff that he looks at. Because he does look at it from a different lens.

[00:43:50] So without being said, I'm up out of here. I will see you guys next week and like I said, we will be dropping a Thanksgiving podcast on Thursday and being thankful for some of the things in the NBA. So with that being said,

[00:44:09] y'all be easy and I'll see you down the road. Peace. Peace.
