Speaker 1: Lebron James his error with the Lakers Finito, and after considering this option this offseason, Lebron James decided to leave the franchise in favor of a new beginning. While Lebron could have received a nice contract from the Lakers, his free agency won't be solely debased on finances. Lebron is seeking complete happiness with his next contract, per Rich Paul. Rich added that he was eighty percent sure Lebron will return to the Lakers, but upon checking in with Lebron on multiple occasions over the next few weeks, Rich said that number began to slip. Once Lebron decided to leave the Lakers. Rich informed a team of that decision. Lebron has instructed Rich Paul to gauge the league wide interests and come back with options before making his free agency decision. Joe, where does Lebron end up? And are you surprised? So let's go with the first. Let's start with his first. Are you surprised Lebron is leaving the Lakers? And then you could add where do you think he'll end up?
00:01:02
Speaker 2: I am not surprised that brun is leaving the Lakers. I kind of seen this to some degree, because you know when they were soft peddling and getting this deal done, and then you hear all these different scenarios and different teams guys he could team up with. I figured it was Rich Rich Paul doing meaning just trying to gain some leverage. But then I started to see some of these moves that the Lakers have made. Come on, Bro, they was never trying to bring brun back. They don't want to be stuck. They didn't want to be stuck in the past the next two three years. At his begging plea on Ocho, I'm just gonna keep it real. But he's still such a high value to where wherever he goes right now because there is some teams, there's a few teams I ain't gonna lie.
00:01:44
Speaker 3: I like him go to that.
00:01:45
Speaker 2: I think he can turn the landscape of the game still at at his big age, Bro, I think it's a few teams he could go to right now, Ojo to where if he joined their team, you will probably make them the favorite.
00:02:01
Speaker 3: Joe.
00:02:01
Speaker 4: Listen, it's listen, Uncle Joe. We knew.
00:02:05
Speaker 5: I I like the way they said, uh, well, Lebron's chances of going back to La decrease. Lebron knew LA didn't want him back. Let's let's start there, thank you. You know, you know internally they didn't want you back, obviously having to defer you as being the third option. You don't really like that. Boom. Now, let's go to places you can play at. You say it's not a financial decision. That's also a lie. Money always comes into play when it comes to playing in your twenty third season at forty two years old. Money is very important or you what do you be playing for free? Where's the best place? What team could pay the most?
00:02:42
Speaker 4: Down here?
00:02:42
Speaker 5: God, damn Miami? Huh what do you have down here in Miami? A relationship with who? The organization one that you've already played for. We got Bamed right, we

got Yannis right. It is free agency right now. We need to get some shooters. We got Tim Hardaway junior in now. We're not finished continuing to construct our team. But Adam lebron this is the best option, the best place for you to be in the East.
00:03:10
Speaker 4: You don't want to be in the West. You know.
00:03:11
Speaker 5: We hear all this conversation and all these talks about him playing in Golden State with Steph and Dremond. Listen, y'all want to play together in the off season, y'all go play at the goddamn summon in New York.
00:03:20
Speaker 4: Huh. Okay, you can have fun doing that.
00:03:22
Speaker 5: What you don't want to do is you don't want to go to Golden State and it's about, oh, this is going to be my last run. They have to deal with the Spurs, have to deal with the Nuggets, and have to deal with the goddamn thunder. That's not what you want at forty two years old. You want to come on down here to the East.
00:03:37
Speaker 3: Huh.
00:03:38
Speaker 5: Even though they improved, it's the easiest route for a team that can contend that you can come to with Vam Jannist Harderway Jr. And what are the assets we build and get in this off season during free agency? That just makes the most sense.
00:03:53
Speaker 4: And you want to be happy. How could you not be happy in Miami?
00:03:58
Speaker 5: No taxes, South Beast. We were talking about Cuban food, soul food. If you're familiar with everything, I'm sure you might have some bnises out here.
00:04:09
Speaker 4: I'm out here. We got to take Joe. We got toussies.
00:04:14
Speaker 2: Hey, he's trying to make my eggs sound like she's just so bad.
00:04:19
Speaker 3: Go back already been there.
00:04:21
Speaker 4: Man, Sometimes you got to spit the box.
00:04:23
Speaker 3: Joe.
00:04:23
Speaker 4: You ain't never back there and done that.
00:04:26
Speaker 3: I'm cool, I don't want to spoil the clock. I'm cool. I'm cool.
00:04:29
Speaker 2: I got so, I got this new thing, I got this other thing.
00:04:34
Speaker 1: You ain't nothing like that.
00:04:38
Speaker 4: But let me say something.
00:04:39
Speaker 5: Hey, uncle Joe, after my brand right after Hey, you know what.
00:04:46
Speaker 4: You know what.
00:04:47
Speaker 5: You don't want to deal with that new headache. So you want to go back to that old thing because you know everything about them. You're comfortable there that new stuff that ain't nothing but representation.
00:04:56
Speaker 3: They gave me the whole thing gave me a headache.
00:05:03
Speaker 2: Get you some pepto bismo. You'll be all right now. See you don't forgot. See you don't forgot how you and that old thing broke up. It just has been between us. So it's gonna come back up. Y'all still gonna have them problems.
00:05:17
Speaker 5: Hey, well, let me tell you something. You go into that new thing and you think she's sweet. The land dude left up because of the same problems. So you go, you in the hut, you in the hunt hand play thing and ships sweet. It ain't sweet
because she had somebody and here she got left.
00:05:32
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be the same thing. The cycle continues to repeat itself.
00:05:37
Speaker 1: It is, that's what normally will happen, because guess what. The first thing she's gonna say, you are to go to that, you are to go to that be you women.
00:05:45
Speaker 3: You messed that up.
00:05:46
Speaker 2: I can't go back to I messed it up. That could be if you did mess it up, you kept shut I could have did.
00:06:02
Speaker 4: That's a good one. That's a good one.
00:06:05
Speaker 3: But you messed that up. So that's over. That's finito.
00:06:08
Speaker 1: Second of all, it all seriously, I tell your guy, you know I'm working on I'm working on some material right now.
00:06:16
Speaker 3: Anyway, this was a situation. I believe.
00:06:23
Speaker 1: I don't have anything, don't have any intimate knowledge. The Lakers made Lebron an offer he they knew he would refused. Hell yeah, they knew he refused it. Also, I believe early on they did everything they possibly could to appease Lebron. He got what he wanted. I do believe Lebron played a role in them getting Russell Westbrook. I don't believe that was solely the organization and got Camelo.
00:06:54
Speaker 3: Mellow. They brought a lot of guys in and I think Lebron played a role in that. But this that what I do know.
00:07:02
Speaker 1: Human nature says, if I ever get in a position, and I can put the advantage in my favor, And that's what the Lakers did when they got Luca. Immediately that was Luca's team. All of a sudden, Lebron's voice didn't carry the same weight in that organization. Luca, what do you want, Luca? You started hearing Luca said he wants Austin Reeves over any other free agency. Luca wants an active big Luca want an active.
00:07:37
Speaker 3: Shoot and didn't mention Lebron. Yeah, Rabona Shellbourne.
00:07:41
Speaker 1: It was reporting that they have a meeting with Craig at a Craigs with Luca.
00:07:48
Speaker 3: And his representative on mill Ros. Lebron wasn't there.
00:07:53
Speaker 1: This says, Look in twenty twenty six, Lebron's fifty two million comes off the book. We'll have at some amount of dollars to spend in free agency. Why do you think Lucas signed that extension?
00:08:08
Speaker 5: So go ahead, I got a question, Uncle Joe, I got a question. Now I know Lakers fans, Lakers organization, Rob Plinker, and anyone else has some positions of power. That's constructing this team that didn't want Lebron to come back. The whole point of constructing the team is to contend for a title.
00:08:26
Speaker 4: Am I correct? Did you not see the signings they had today?
00:08:31
Speaker 3: Did you?
00:08:32
Speaker 4: Did you not see the signs they had today? Joe?
00:08:35
Speaker 5: Which way are they going? Are they contending? Are they going backwards?
00:08:39
Speaker 3: That is not me personally.
00:08:42
Speaker 1: I still look, Kessler is a better defender than than than that, aydon. I mean he's active, he plays hard. I think his his uncle. Uh, I think it's an uncle Kessel. I think they went to Georgia. If I'm not mistaken, I think that was his uncle, Eric Kessler. If I'm not mistaken, chat y'all can check that.
00:09:04
Speaker 3: If you want to.
00:09:06
Speaker 1: With that being said, your two best players are horrible at defense. You look at their signings. You tell me other than Kessler where the defense is coming from. Nope, because you lost Smart. You lost Smart, he was your best defender. You're gonna lose Ruie. You lost you lost what's the lefty guy?
00:09:31
Speaker 3: That guy? He went defeening.
00:09:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, now they gotta got they got quinin grime, they got grind from Billy and shoot.
00:09:41
Speaker 3: From Toronto, and I feel they they're surrounded by shooters. Hey, hey, helloup, but what you what you're gonna do.
00:09:48
Speaker 5: With It's been there, kiddes here for how long we've been having the same conversation over and over and over about them obviously being able to score them all, but here you can't stop, no damn body. So you're still in the same position even with the new signings. And I don't I don't know, mister Kessel. I don't want to be disrespectful, you know.
00:10:03
Speaker 4: But I mean, are you He's solid?
00:10:05
Speaker 3: He's solid?
00:10:06
Speaker 4: What's solid?
00:10:07
Speaker 1: He he listen, he's look here here, I ain't like, oh my god, me, I'm oh boy, we got look boy, we got bombs in the middle. I ain't doing that. And you're a double double guy. You get your ten limb boys, he gets your ten lemon twelve rebounds.
00:10:24
Speaker 3: And what is solid? He can knocked down occasional three.
00:10:28
Speaker 1: He's he he he makes put it like this.
00:10:31
Speaker 2: Here he is he looked like compared to Ayton, compared to Hello, helo, Hello, they got listen, they do they don't have enough melanated brothers. I give him that, you know what I mean, they don't. Yeah, they all gone. But at the same time, what they got I think they got. They got Brownie Van Do and another and Quentin Grime and Kriing Grimes. He baiged so he don't you know, yeah he bage but but but they got some depth though, Jo, meaning depth that center position, because now Ayton can.
00:11:11
Speaker 1: Come off the damn bench, whether he like it or not. He ga't, you know, en off the couch. Huh, you should be coming off the couch.
00:11:20
Speaker 2: So I think, uh, I think there will be a decent team to watch.
00:11:24
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously he got collared sex to too Joe. Yeah, I like, I like.
00:11:29
Speaker 2: But at the same time, man, it's like, I don't really know what they're doing.
00:11:34
Speaker 3: Bro.
00:11:34
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be competitive, But if we're talking about winning a title, hell, to be honest with y'all, man, ain't gonna be with a couple of teams contending for that end.
00:11:42
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.
00:11:43
Speaker 5: The Lakers starting fire like gaming fire
roll and everybody got on spurrs.
00:11:53
Speaker 3: Hey yo, oh the road trip, ain't no catching the Blue Blades.
00:11:56
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, ah yeah, ain't no, but.
00:11:59
Speaker 1: The Shriners can. But in all seriousness, Luca and Aar, Luca is gonna be Luca. Luca's gonna score no matter what. Ar is gonna be able to get points. But the question is who can they stop. And we saw this last year and we saw this in situations. It is very difficult for Ar. His lateral movement isn't good. Luca is not good at defense. And I'm being nice chat, I'm not making y'all know this. Y'all wantch Luca is, Luca is one of my favorite players. And I might catch a Lakers game just to see able to see I saw Luca in the Lakers uniform.
00:12:38
Speaker 3: But they're not good defensively.
00:12:40
Speaker 1: Your two best players can't be that bad defensively, and you hope to win a championship.
00:12:47
Speaker 3: This is what they're dealing with right now. Oo. Look, he built the team.
00:12:52
Speaker 1: This, this is this is the way Rob Lincoln wanted to bit to build a team. Yeah, this is the way he wanted to build a team. He built the team like he wanted.
00:12:59
Speaker 3: He leave.
00:13:01
Speaker 1: Hopefully Luca is happy because everything now I'm doing to your peace, Luca, everything I'm doing their peace Luca, because he's the guy that's gonna beat the bridge.
00:13:14
Speaker 3: To keep this thing going.
00:13:17
Speaker 1: The Lakers have always normally had an all had a transcendent player because they had you know, they had Baylor and they had West and then when those guys and Wilt and then Kareem comes, and then Magic comes and then Worthy and then you have a little love there and then you get Shot and then you get Kobe, and then you know, Kobe runs that, and then you have a Law and then Lebron, Lebron comes to your team, and then you have that and now we've got Luca. So they've done a great job of transitioning basically every five to ten years of having a superstar to replace a superstar a great job. You go back and look at him studium. They've done a great job of that. And so now everything is for Luke and it should be. I think Lebron felt that, and I do this, and and and and Rich and Lebron and y'all know why I feel about Lebron. I do believe early they made a lot of concessions for Lebron.
00:14:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe Taylor Horton.
00:14:27
Speaker 1: I believe one of the reasons why they because they gave Taylor Horton the money they should have gave Carusoe.
00:14:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, brun vouched that though that's what they did.
00:14:37
Speaker 1: Carusoe should have been on that Now, Horton Tucker is in Turkey or Greece are overseas somewhere, and Caruso is playing meaningful basketball on a championship winning.
00:14:48
Speaker 3: You know it.
00:14:48
Speaker 4: Also, you know what?
00:14:49
Speaker 5: Also that means even though Lebron had the privilege and he was a guy that deferred to when it comes to decision making on who you want to keep around your team, they ignore what he had to say. He had a better understanding than those that are that are making the calls. On one. Cruis so to be there, but obviously they want to they want to pick who they want to pick. Would let you know he didn't have the letty he did, probably because of where he was at in his career as well.
00:15:16
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, you can't have it both ways. You can't recommend behind the scenes that we signed somebody and then when we sign them and then it blows up, it goes all on the general manager. Yeah, okay, wait, you lit the firecracker, which playing which player? Taylor Horton, Tucker Cartmelow. A lot of these guys, come on, look at the best player. They're gonna run it by the best player. Milwaukee did not make any move without running it by Jannis. And then when it didn't work out, he's like, well, you you traded, you traded Holiday. How else were we gonna get Dame? You said you wanted another go star. We had to give up Holiday in order to get Dame?
00:16:05
Speaker 5: Right, So yeah, hey, matter of fact, he speaking of basketball, right, Yes, Joannis and Bam they're gonna be They're gonna be training down here in Miami together obviously in the off season before they got before they got to go to a destruction environment and what they do with the Miami heat.
00:16:22
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna be out of training with the boy.
00:16:24
Speaker 3: Joe. Oh you are what y'all gonna be doing for the give you boy this work? Joe?
00:16:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I can call I called out. I called out Bam and both of them answers. So I'm gonna play both them one on one. And I mean, I'm gonna have my girl filming, so I'm gonna get I'm gonna get e boy.
00:16:41
Speaker 4: What they looking for?
00:16:42
Speaker 3: You hit me and don't put that on tables. Is that they finally But what happened, Joe.
00:16:50
Speaker 1: And oh Joe, the Lakers for the next seven years don't have a first round pick.
00:16:57
Speaker 3: This gotta work. Hey, it's gotta work. They have no assets, they have nothing.
00:17:03
Speaker 1: They say, Okay, we'll give you j Andre Ayden Van Do or we'll give you La Rabia, or we'll give you connect this guy in a first round pick. They don't have any twenty seven, twenty eight, twenty nine, thirty thirty one, thirty two, thirty three. They don't have a first round pick until third twenty thirty four.
00:17:28
Speaker 5: This, Joe, but it's not going to work. I understand. You have Luca, right, you have Austin Reeves. Like, let's look at the teams that have won the championship in the last three years.
00:17:38
Speaker 4: Look at Boston, Look at Boston.
00:17:39
Speaker 5: Had, look at the Look at the thunder Half, look at the Knicks, look at the Knicks had.
00:17:47
Speaker 4: The Lakers are not.
00:17:48
Speaker 2: Constructed like that, Oh Joe, I'm saying you saying it's not going to work. Does that mean they're not gonna be a decent playoff
team?
00:17:57
Speaker 3: Joe?
00:17:57
Speaker 4: They going home in the first round. Who they gonna beat in the Western Show.
00:18:01
Speaker 2: The championship, Joe, that's probably gonna happen. That's probably gonna happen. But I'm just saying. I'm saying they gonna win some games. They just not gonna beat championship contender. I mean, you weren't that purple a goal? You know what come with it?
00:18:11
Speaker 3: Exactly?
00:18:12
Speaker 1: Name the superstar that has never won a championship in the Lakers uniform, Will did. The only one you can say they didn't win one was Baylor Elgia. Baylor retired and the next year they won the championship in seventy two.
00:18:28
Speaker 3: But then you come along and.
00:18:29
Speaker 1: You got Kareem and you get Magic and you get Worthy, and you get Shot and you get Kobe, and you get Power, and you get Bronn and you get a d. So every superstar other than Baylor that's won George Michain started it off in Minnesota, he won five. So every superstar other than Baylor won a championship. Luca has to win a championship.
00:18:50
Speaker 4: It ain't happening. I get this saying what they have.
00:18:55
Speaker 3: Some history and that Laker.
00:18:57
Speaker 5: Hey, Joe, Uncle Joe, I've been right, with my NBA prediction for the past three years. Right and I'm telling you right now based on what I see looking at the landscape of the Lakers right now. But one look at the starting five. Starting That start five ain't be nobody, no goddamn body. We know, we know luc can get his we know what Osrie do. Outside of that. You look at that starting five and tell me what other starting five that coming out the West that they can beat in the seven game series. I ain't talk about regular season, relive, regular season no matter. I don't come about the numbers you putting up. Then I'll talk about who you're gonna beat. Winning matters most who is that starting five gonna be Joe?
00:19:29
Speaker 1: But the thunder Spars, they are one thing we can't agree on, Joe basic hell, yeah, yeah.
00:19:37
Speaker 2: Defense. We know they challenge defensively. That's why you gonna guys like ar and Luca. The offense has to be their defense, meaning they gonna have to beat Tompson scoring just to be competitive. They gotta be okay, oh Joe, Hell, Luca's gonna have to average thirty.
00:19:55
Speaker 1: Well, Lucas gonna average thirty, but aar is gonna need to average around twenty five to twenty six.
00:19:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree.
00:20:02
Speaker 2: For for them to be for them to be able to compete in the Western Conference, they're gonna have to be amazing.
00:20:09
Speaker 1: Hey, they are, they are, and look that the thing is is that I hope, I hope. Look just because Lebron isn't there. I like Luca. I've been a Luca fan Chatty y'all remember me on Undisputed. Me and Skip used to get into it all the time about Luca. I like, no, no, he can't play no defense, but he gonna light your ass up on our fense.
00:20:28
Speaker 3: Though. Yeah, I like Luca.
00:20:33
Speaker 1: I just think it's gonna be hard for them to win a championship when your two best players are that defensively challenged. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, where do you think Lebron end up? Joe Ojo, I'm gonna throw it out to you, Joe first, and I'm gonna take it.
00:20:45
Speaker 3: Let you have it.
00:20:47
Speaker 2: I think Bron is gonna end up. Uh if the Warriors thing, obviously, I don't think that's gonna work.
00:20:54
Speaker 1: I do.
00:20:54
Speaker 3: I think he.
00:20:55
Speaker 2: I think he's going back to he going back to an X. It's gonna be Cleveland, it's gonna.
00:21:01
Speaker 3: Be one of them.
00:21:02
Speaker 2: Probably if I'm him, I can owe your real talk. That Miami thing just looked too sexy. I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't gonna lie to you. Playing with bam And and Johannis and him just being able to facilitate. See, he can have a lot of the ball handling dudes, versus if he go to If he go to Cleveland, Hey, you got Donovan and James Harden. Yes, you know what I mean. Yeah, he'll still get the handle and playmate. But playing in Miami, hell, he'll probably be the damn point guard.
00:21:35
Speaker 1: But they're saying, now I did. I don't know if you saw this report that that a couple of weeks ago. Uh, Dan, Gilbert and Lebron had a secret meeting.
00:21:44
Speaker 4: Don't worry about that.
00:21:46
Speaker 5: Hey, Joe, it was a secret, but it wasn't, Victoria, don't worry about that. Joe just explained to you why I'm telling you Lebron is coming here. Joe just broke it down in depth a little better than I can. Huh. He did he went to exen Nose Route. I didn't want to go to exen Nose route. Now, you know I'm telling you what my sources told me.
00:22:06
Speaker 4: Huh, I'm not.
00:22:07
Speaker 3: I'm not.
00:22:07
Speaker 5: I'm not shams. You know, I'm not wind horse. But I know my stuff and I ain't been wrong yet. So when Lebron does come, I want both. I want uncle.
00:22:15
Speaker 4: I want you to say, you know what, O Shoe, you was right. I can't believe it. You've been right all year long when it comes to NBA.
00:22:23
Speaker 3: Huh.
00:22:24
Speaker 2: Look, I'm picking Miami because I'm just really trying to jinx it on the low.
00:22:29
Speaker 3: But now when you now, but when.
00:22:31
Speaker 2: You really think about it, Joe, now for real, when you think about it, I can see him going to Miami real talk because he'll get to handle the Rocks, him and Jannis for real, as opposed to in Cleveland.
00:22:44
Speaker 3: Even though James you can play off the ball.
00:22:46
Speaker 1: I don't like the Donovan James Harden neither know if you if you're gonna let James Harden go, but that don't make any sense. Consider what you gave up because you let you gave up Garland. Yeah, you and and and and a pick I think so it doesn't. That doesn't make sense to me. And look, Miami seems like the most logical choice. But hey, the thing is that you followed Lebron over is
twenty three off now about to be twenty four year career Lebron, go do it the f lebron want to do Yep. Whatever the criticism is, it is. He said, y'all gon criticize me one way or another. So if you notice what his statement said, did you read this statement? What did he say, Joe? He said, hopefully I made a.
00:23:31
Speaker 3: Few of your crowd. Yeah. Yeah, that's not an accident.
00:23:38
Speaker 1: Name the time you've seen someone that's leaving somewhere normally, I hope I made you crowd a Lebronco country or this or that whatever whatever a raider nation.
00:23:51
Speaker 3: Nobody says f e w mm hm.
00:24:01
Speaker 1: Any Tidy didn't go to go to New England. I hope you don't think you're gonna make them forget Gronk. They gonna You're never gonna be Gronk.

00:34:59
Speaker 5: Though, Joe, Hey, hey, stay, I may have unwatched all the kids, man while I'm gone.
00:35:07
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, that's gonna be a movie in itself,
right, Joe. The Lakers got that a list center for Luca the leaguers. The Lakers are acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for an unprotected first round picks in twenty thirty one and twenty thirty three first round pickswaps in twenty eight and thirty. Kessler will sign a massive four year, one hundred and thirty million dollar deal with the Lakers, which include a player option for the fourth season and a full trade clicker. Hekers also signed Quentin Grimes four years sixty million, Colin Sexton two years nineteen million, and Sandro Yeah him four years fifty two million. Joe, you like what the Lakers are putting around Luca?
00:35:54
Speaker 3: Mm? I liked.
00:35:56
Speaker 2: I like, I like some of the additions, can o, Joe Budd. That shit ain't gonna be enough. I'm sorry. That ain't gonna be enough. Not in that Western conference, bro, it ain't gonna be enough. So you know, I know they invest a lot of money this off season. Obviously Broun won a part of it, but damn my hunting. What you said one hundred and thirty million for Kessler. What four years one thirty for sixty for Quentin Grimes?
00:36:22
Speaker 1: Sandro got four years fifty two college Sexty got two years nineteen.
00:36:27
Speaker 2: He gonna have to be a bad boy boy bringing him over there for one hundred and thirty to play with Luca. Yeah, I know, I know he you know, he'll be he gonna kind of clog the pain. He can shoot the three defensively. It's really why you gonna help, because it's much better. He's much better than eight. Oh yeah, oh yeah. So I definitely think they you know, obviously they knew they was they was in need of a center. So uh, you know, we'll have to see what the Lakers can come up with. Bro, We'll see how this team messed together, you know, with some of these pieces. But it's just gonna be hard to look.
00:36:59
Speaker 3: At that now.
00:37:00
Speaker 2: Don't see Brown running up and down the court, you know what I mean. It's just it's gonna take some adjustin. Yeah, I'm kind of misgoing to the Lakers. I would go, I gotta go. I gotta go see Luca play at least once. I gotta see Luca, and.
00:37:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, Luca, Hey, Luca gotta come with his hard hat this year. Why But he's never he's never felt this kind of expectations.
00:37:22
Speaker 1: I know, and Dallas is one thing, and I know he got to the NBA Finals and phenomenal and they didn't win.
00:37:28
Speaker 3: I think they lost what for one.
00:37:31
Speaker 1: But the different level of expectations when you play for the purple le goal and I don't know, it looked he should be just fying because he's one of the great players that's currently player and one of the best players in NBA history.
00:37:46
Speaker 3: But it's championship of bus. It ain't no man.
00:37:53
Speaker 1: He led the league in score and he did this, he did that. It's all about championships. He's got to get at least one. Multiple would be nice. Laker Nation would love for him to get multiple, but he has to get at
least one.
00:38:05
Speaker 4: Joe, Oh, this is real life.
00:38:10
Speaker 5: The Lakers are playing in the West. This team isn't constructed or built to win a championship.
00:38:17
Speaker 4: In the next one, two, three or four years and just not reality. This ain't two K.
00:38:23
Speaker 5: Now, if you're playing NBA two K and you're really good with the sticks, probably, but realistically speaking, based on the way they're built, there are only so many moves you can make because of the money you got tied up in the players you plan now you're paying now.
00:38:38
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure people in the chat.
00:38:39
Speaker 5: I mean, if if you understand and understand the game and the landscape of the way things look right now, the next three or four years, you kind of stuck with what you got.
00:38:47
Speaker 3: Hey, oh, Joe, Joe, of that four years.
00:38:51
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty million dollars, Walker Kessel will take home sixty two point two million dollars thirteen point three percent state tax out in California, Okay, thirty six percent.
00:39:10
Speaker 3: Damn.
00:39:12
Speaker 1: So when you fit in Fightker medicaid and like you said, Joe, they put a portion of that in escro right, Yeah, okay, yeah, boot, there it is.
00:39:27
Speaker 3: There it is.
00:39:29
Speaker 2: Hey, Look, I think, Luca, Okay, old Joe, He's still gonna have to be a juggernaut offensively.
00:39:37
Speaker 3: Men.
00:39:38
Speaker 2: You know, even if they don't let's say they let's say they they do slip to where they're lower seed playoff team of seven seed, a seed, he still gotta be averaging by them. Thirty Oh he gonna no, no, no, no, Luca, I mean, in the playoffs, if they're Lord, he's gonna need I mean for them, he's gonna need.
00:39:55
Speaker 1: To average what he averaged. I mean thirty three thirty somewhere, thirty three and thirty.
00:39:59
Speaker 3: Five this year, Joe.
00:40:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. Yeah, just look and ar is gonna be and neither one of those guys can get hurt.
00:40:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they have a history of what.
00:40:14
Speaker 1: Well, Austin reeves, this is the first last year, with the first year you even heard Lucas had a history of being injury.
00:40:19
Speaker 5: Yes, all right, see ay chat chat trying to get on my head. You know they talking trash to me. I see, y'all, I see everything you're saying.
00:40:28
Speaker 4: Huh. I know you might be a Laker fan. I don't mean no disrespect. I'm just being honest with you.
00:40:33
Speaker 5: Most of the time, the best person to get the truth from is somebody that doesn't know what he's talking about. And I don't know nothing about no basketball. But I'll tell you one thing, y'all ain't want it nothing in next three or four years.
00:40:46
Speaker 1: Uh, And bron pulled a nice move waiting to Bronnie contract with guaranteed.
00:40:50
Speaker 3: Didn't hit y'all with.
00:40:51
Speaker 1: The yeah, I ain't coming back yeah anyway, and the Davis
responded with a crying, laughing emojia to a post saying Rob per Linka backdoored him and Lebron as they have practically bad Rob Polinka to get him a center alongside him for years.
00:41:05
Speaker 3: Rob didn't budge.
00:41:06
Speaker 1: Ad got back door, Bron Lowkey got back door to Now you want to get be a competent GM that due when your championship is gone. You can't make this issue up l O l hey hold on back door mean like I tell you, I tell you on ojo man, I ain't trained.
00:41:23
Speaker 3: Y'all were good, and then I end up that back door.
00:41:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Ad, Look, if you go back and look at Ad, he played his best win. Javel McGee, Dwight Howard was on the roster, and if they started at certain they were starting conventional kind of like what Cleveland does, it's two bigs. Then late in the last five minutes of the ball game, six minutes of the ball game, they would kick Ad to the five.
00:41:48
Speaker 3: But they would start the game with.
00:41:50
Speaker 1: Ad playing the four because you had Javel McGee and you had Dwhite Howard. So now he's like, I can be I'm not drained from battling Joel and Beid.
00:42:01
Speaker 3: I'm not drained from battling Yo Kis. I'm not drained.
00:42:05
Speaker 1: So now the last five minutes after javal Ha warn you down, Dwight Howard has worn you down.
00:42:10
Speaker 3: Now I come in.
00:42:12
Speaker 1: You're not as You're not as active as you need to be because they've been banging on you, Paul.
00:42:18
Speaker 3: Now I get to come in and do what I do. That's how he's looking at it. Joe.
00:42:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but Robin said, hold on, bro we gave you a max contract to play the bad Yeah, so you want me to give somebody.
00:42:32
Speaker 3: Else a max contract, give you a max contract? Broad on the max contract? H No, Nah.
00:42:41
Speaker 2: And I just think I think Robin the Lakers, they was ready to be done with the with the Lebron saga. If you would say, you know, Uncle Ojo gonna turn these keys over the Luca man. Let's build his team around Luca. Let's see what he can do for us over the next five to seven years. Hopefully we can get us a title. But I just think, you know, they man, they just moving on, They moving forward. I don't really blame Rod for that. I don't necessarily, I don't want to say he backdoled him by. Obviously, Ad probably knows something that I don't know. Maybe he told him and Braun something that we all would never know. But his job is to make that team competitive, bro, you know, and trading Ad, I ain't that. I ain't that man at okah.
00:43:25
Speaker 1: If you don't trade, if you don't trade, guess what you got to You got to give Lebron whatever you want.
00:43:34
Speaker 3: If you don't get, if you don't get Luca, Lebron gonna.
00:43:36
Speaker 1: Get three more years, two plus an option at about fifty five sixty million dollars a year. Joke.
00:43:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's just the facts. Yeah, just the facts. I agree with you.
00:43:52
Speaker 1: The Lakers were ready to be done. And how much because here's the thing. Now, we got to fact that this end. Also, how much pool do the Lakers actually have over there? Walshers who owned the Dodgers, he paid ten b I'm sure he had some saying this.
00:44:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go.
00:44:21
Speaker 2: So they got the wealthiest owner in sports. The man's worth one hundred and fifty billion. But hold on, hold on, but the Clippers ain't gonna be competitive with him. The damn Raptor is gonna be competitive with him in the Eastern Conference.
00:44:40
Speaker 1: If I thought Kawai could be healthy, I could be competitive with him. Well, Toronto think that because they gave him one hundred and twenty.
00:44:45
Speaker 3: Four the Clippers.
00:44:47
Speaker 2: If Clippers thought they could be competitive with him, they would, they would they would have did that. Yeah, I don't think the Clippers. They know they're not gonna be competitive. You know, over the next couple of years they in somewhat of a rebuilding stage. The West too, thick man, we know that they ain't gonna be one of the top teams in the West.
00:45:03
Speaker 3: But you look at Toronto what they finished. They finished, what they finished.
00:45:07
Speaker 2: Sixth, fifth, I think there was a there were a fifth c Yeah, because they played Toronto played Cleveland. Yeah, so I think they're gonna be better. I think they'll be better. Hell, Grady Dick wasn't playing Uh, pauls and uh and Ingram and Ingram was an all Star. So if you flop flip flop him and Ingram and he plays, he gives him. He gave him great productivity in Toronto.
00:45:35
Speaker 3: May they gonna be all right?
00:45:38
Speaker 1: But they got that situation and I'm surprised he went back because it was Toronto that blew the lid on him talking about what Uncle Dennis wanted.
00:45:49
Speaker 3: Was a part of the team.
00:45:51
Speaker 1: He wanted to you know, sponsors, and he ain't want quiet like Kauhi ain't gonna show up. He said, well, you know, they gonna want advertising. They're gonna want, you know, commercial shoe so something like nah, hey, they come to find out everything that Toronto.
00:46:04
Speaker 3: Wouldn't do the Clippers would the Clippers did. Hey, hey, and to show up.
00:46:12
Speaker 1: Even so two teams uh leg like hold on that night because they went to the Lakers. Legers say, we can't do that.
00:46:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can't.
00:46:19
Speaker 1: We can't, you know, give you buy you a condo, and buy you this, and and then no. But he he's going back clearly the.
00:46:27
Speaker 3: He I forgive y'all too. Y'all gonna give me sixty two million a year. I forgive you. Yeah.
00:46:33
Speaker 2: And in them contracts, Oh, your heir, you better ask for whatever it is you can't ask for because they'll put it in there, you.
00:46:39
Speaker 3: Know what I mean? Yeah? Yeah, hey, you know your girl fly on the flight flight with you and all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Now it's time five final saving the evening. It's time for Q.

Speaker 5: If USA scores before the half, I'm buying everybody drinks at the half.
00:47:34
Speaker 4: Goddamn USA scored.
00:47:35
Speaker 3: I was hurt. I was. I was hurt. I was. I was hurt. But you know it was it was.
00:47:39
Speaker 4: It was a good cause. It was for a good deed, and I did what I was supposed to.
00:47:46
Speaker 1: It's called soccer. Question for all, with all these trades and sonning, could the heat possibly get Kyrie bullfan? I hope we signed Jalen Duran.
00:47:57
Speaker 3: What can the heat? It seemed to me out, why would why would the Mavericks train Kyrie.
00:48:04
Speaker 2: Well, if you the Mavericks, the only the only reason why I can see him training Kyrie is that they just really turning it, turning the car over the Cooper flag. You know, Kyrie, Hey, y'all know their boyfriend to come in hand and do his one too. He ain't finna be trying to defre the No damn body, you feel what I'm saying. So depending on how you look at it. Obviously I think he still got some great basketball left in him. But you're saying him going to Miami. No, they said, uh yeah, to the heat.
00:48:35
Speaker 3: That's too that's too much. They got too much.
00:48:37
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, think about it, Kyrie. At the point, Braun and the two they can they can they can you know, flip flop. They play off each other real well.
00:48:47
Speaker 3: And Wiggins boy, y'all try to turn Miami upside.
00:48:51
Speaker 4: I'm just saying.
00:48:52
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, I'm I'm a tween Kyrie tomorrow, so I'm as see you see if he answer.
00:48:57
Speaker 1: Back, this is the only defender we lost. Yeah, you ain't have no defenders. That's why the Lakers were so bad about only defender we lost was smart? You ain't have anybody hire the hell Joe West jailing during going.
00:49:16
Speaker 2: He going back to Detroit. How Detroit gonna let that man go? They just don't want to pay him to two hundred something many. They're gonna let somebody else come in.
00:49:24
Speaker 1: And you know what I mean, Well he better Hey guess what, he better hope somebody come in, because guess what if don't nobody come in, I ain't got you know what I ain't got between the year for you now?
00:49:33
Speaker 2: Hey, hell up though, But that's
that's kind of what almost happened to me Uncle Ojo when I left Phoenix, you know, because Phoenix could match and any team that offered me a contract. You know, they were telling all these teams looking whatever y'all offering, we're gonna match it anyway, you know what I mean.
00:49:47
Speaker 3: So then look, I had.
00:49:48
Speaker 2: To get on the phone with my agent with with with with Robert Sover, who was the owner of the Phoenix Suns, who had just became an owner, and I had to tell him, don't match. Man, like, hey, look, man, let me go on on, bro. You know what I'm saying, They don't really won't let your team over there? Huh, you got your team over there. Leave me be, Yeah, let me go, let me go and ride out. Hey, hey, so, but that ain't gonna happen in Detroit. I'll tell you that right now. They ain't gonna let that boy go.
00:50:13
Speaker 3: Man.
00:50:13
Speaker 2: That's twenty ten, all start thirteen, all NBA here. He's the reason why you able to have so much success last year. I don't see them letting.
00:50:21
Speaker 3: Him go out.
00:50:23
Speaker 1: PG played thirty seven games but got suspended for twenty five games. If you don't get suspended, he played sixty two. No, there's not an awards eligible, but it's more games played than Lebron.
00:50:33
Speaker 3: An ant Man.
00:50:35
Speaker 2: Well, injuries play a major role and and a lot of the top teams, and it was unforeseen circumstances with PG. So if he could come back, you know, obviously be healthy player at least sixty sixty five games, that'll help Boston. Boston got guys they can plug and play when the other when they when they top guys don't play, and they don't they don't really miss a beat.
00:50:57
Speaker 1: So that don't really concern me that much. Hey, what you call this should have got Sam Houser too from Philly. I say, no, we want Sam Houser too. Yeah, Boston ain't letting them go. They like them shooters, guys who can floor spaces, you know the way. You gotta stay honest. You gotta have those guys around.
