morning like highlights so it’s going to be tough to defend beo hasn’t hide the Bible of God watching yeah seriously never seen Russell Westbrook have more fun in his life bro he doesn’t dear how dare dear turn on us he’s from Compton he said f y’all country tough scene it was a tough scene glad Rose came home y’all didn’t deserve him neither yeah tough scene tough scene last night we will get to that a little bit later um we have a bunch of stuff going on because man we have been sitting around and wondering uh you know the Grizzlies are silent Bobs when it comes to anything dealing with player evaluation or who they’re working out or whatever else right and this is how you know honestly a lot of the league functions now that is not just part for the course when it comes to the Grizzlies that’s the league at whole but there are always leaks right and so we get some good leaks that actually involve the Grizzlies and it regards the Houston Rockets who have the number three pick we’re getting Dylan Brooks back in the that’s that’s all right look just kidding everyone is the show over worst look huh is that your worst nightmare it’s already a bad day for Canada let’s not make it worse Kelsey all right let’s not make it worse the memph the Memphis Grizzlies is a potential trade partner for the Houston Rockets Hunter F day this is from Kelly Aiko who covers the Houston Rockets very intensely he said both general managers Raphael Stone and head coach eeme udoka are fans of Veteran guard Marcus Smart League sources said is there a possibility Memphis could entice Houston by offering Smart in addition to the number nine pick in future assets to move up and grab kinging if he isn’t already gone Tennessee’s dton connect who is who has fans within the Rockets organization could be available if Houston were to move back okay so a lot of times stuff can just be out there and it can be thrown against the wall and you know we can dismiss it immediately right this is one of those where it’s somebody that covers the rockets on a daily basis this didn’t come out of nowhere yeah okay and it’s also incredibly specific okay like could this interest Houston like um I buy it I buy it because you’ve got anytime there’s somebody these are the things we know to be true of this number one they are in the position now where they would rather add guys with a lot of games under their belt a lot of playoff games under their belt and Veterans to that team they have picked in the top five over and over and over again they have had Jaylen green they have had uh am man Thompson they have had Jabari Smith Jr they’ve got another guy in Alper and Shen like they’ve got all the young guys they need right and so the idea that they would want a hard-nosed battle tested proven winner who their coach loves mhm it makes all the sense in the world that they would want that guy right that they would want Marcus Smart it would also make all the sense in the world that they’re not particularly interested in drafting three and developing the guy right like I mean how many young guys do you need right how many right like how many how many times you want to draft in the top five and so they’ve already got and by the way they also have other fantastic young players on their roster I.E cam Whitmore I.E T een so I mean you have got they Young loads of young players on that team in fact you could fill an entire starting five with just the young guys right and so now they are right because you you could you could run out there amen Thompson 21 Jaylen green he is he is 22 cam Whitmore he is9 T een tar E’s 23 and Alper and shenon 22 yeah okay young young I mean that’s five guys that’s five guys that you could run out there that are all from these last couple of drafts and so the idea that they don’t care uh intensely about drafting number three if they could use three to bolster their team to get another veteran that makes sense the interesting thing on the grizzly side is this I think every time we think about this we go man I don’t want to give up Marcus Smart if it means getting donov MC kangan I don’t want to give up Marcus Martin if it means getting re jeber or whatever you think of it one for one you’ve got to think of it through a a large context here’s what we know okay you’ve got 13 guys that are basically under contract you got to make a decision and the decision comes I Believe by the 29th of June is what I read um next Saturday that’s on that’s on Canard yeah right so you’re either renegotiating a Canard contract and getting him at a lower price you’re either letting him walk you’re either including him in a trade whatever the case may be okay um I do think you want to do something with that asset yeah right e even if you’re not going to sign him for the long term I do think it is worthwhile like you might pick up the you might pick up the option and then put him in a trade okay um because it’s a good I mean it’s it’s a it’s a those $15 million contracts right now have value right and and he can play for anybody yes for anybody everybody always needs shooting and maybe the Grizzlies want to continue with him okay but we know they don’t have a backup point guard they don’t have somebody that’s going to run the show behind John Morant they Derrick Rose is going to be your third point guard and a veteran presence on this roster but you’re going to have to have somebody that’s an every night player and maybe somebody that’s going to be able to fill in if John Moran has to miss an amount of games okay you also are going to have to decide what you want to do at small forward and maybe it will be a rotating cast of characters maybe it will be somebody that you want to get for the long term and we know you want to do something at Center the only way I could foresee a circumstance in which they do use nine and smart or another contract in order to get up is that it’s going to fill one of those needs also you you cannot think of it as one for one because you’re making that deal in order for you to have more money to be able to do what else you want to do right if I’ve got Marcus Smart in a 20 something million dollar contract right and you know nobody loves Marcus Smart more than me I’ve loved him his whole career and I love those kind of guys but I also understand everything that you do with this franchise has to be viewed through the prism of what is the best possible fits around John morand well you’ve already filled two of those roles okay you filled two of those roles you’ve got your stretch four that can space the floor and has to be respected all the way out to the three-point line it can make plays off the dribble and you’ve got your two guard who’s one of the best Shooters in the world okay so now we’re just filling in three and five and then we’re filling in obviously whatever you got to coming off the bench because that matters greatly as well because what happens when inevitably you get injured hopefully you never get as injured as you did last year but there’s going to be injuries that take place during the season okay and so what is the best kind of fit here’s what we know they they’re going to have to get a center they might have to get two I mean you got to make a decision are you playing Brandon Clark at Center you playing jiren at Center like you’re for sure getting one okay one for sure have to okay and you’re for sure getting a backup point guard and and you’re for sure getting a wing like another guard that can handle the ball and make plays off the dribble and whatever else right if you were to make the deal for kingan I think that then here’s what I’d say if you make the deal and get up and you were to take Donovan kingan I think that means that you are now you’re you’re making your decision on what you’re going to do cuz now you’re leaving a hole where where you left Marcus smt so now you’re spending that money on a wing that you trust right you’ve got guys coming up the ladder you’ve got Vince Williams you’ve got GG Jackson you’ve got some of these other guys but that’s what you’re doing if not if you make the deal and you get up and you take Reed Shepard then people have to you can’t think of it like oh I’m moving off of uh Marcus Smart now I’m getting a rookie in his place yeah but what then if with that other money so like let’s say the rookie a third pick in the draft I believe I wrote it down somewhere uh it’s like eight million bucks yeah okay so say you got 20 million to play well now I can use the rest of that money on the other side and now I’m using that to go get my Center maybe I’m making a deal for Jared Allen maybe I’m making a deal for uh maybe I’m bringing in Nick Clon maybe I’m bringing in you know whatever whatever the case may be so I do think that if you are to trade up and honestly it’s been reported like that there are a couple of different teams that like those guys here would be the the reason I don’t know I you can’t make that deal until you get to the draft is because I think that they probably learned the hard way on this with what with zier it was always said that they wanted they thought giddy or fron was going to be on the board I believe that to be true they thought giddy or fron was going to be on the board they’re like okay at this point one of those two guys is going to be there and then they both got taken like immediately and it it was like wait wait wait what like no no no no no no no nobody had both of them being gone by 10 we were G to if we weren’t going to get one we were going to get the other and then they had to they had to make a decision and they ended up taking uh zier Williams in that P but I always felt like after that draft like they were always it was weird how excited overly excited they were about Santi Alama after that Draft when you just picked 10th I always felt that way yeah right it was like oh Santi Adama is going to be the big and I’m like wait well hold on like we just took the guy T right what’s going on here so here’s what I know if you can’t make that deal because there is a real scenario given with this kooky draft there’s a scenario where kinging goes one and Reed Shepard goes two and then you’re sitting there with a third pick and it’s like oh my God why do like I can’t take Alex s or whatever whatever’s going on those are the O I will say this oh God those are the only two guys I would move up for clinging shepher yes I think that’s them cuz it’s needs it’s needs and I do not like if I were doing my list of guys I do not believe will fail they would be because and here’s why you are feeling a need with an $8 million contract and enabling yourself to fill the other need that’s what I’d say so I am a believer like if I didn’t believe that both of those guys could be good quickly and that they could both play for you quickly then I would feel differently about the situation but I do I do feel like both of those guys are Taylor Made for the NBA and I do think that there it’s a possibility they could even be better in the NBA than they were in college certainly shephard I don’t you know kingan he was a fantastic college player as well but if you’re not whichever one of those if you’re moving up to get one of those yeah I would be okay with those are the only two players that I would understand moving up be if you if you told me we covet these guys we want these guys we want the either of these two we want on fouryear deals at a cheap price that is going to one of them could be our Center and the other one is going to be in our guard rotation for the next four years and is a legitimately great shooter everybody knows that those moved up include Marcus Smart only because of the way it fits within the context of the team M I don’t know if I love Marcus Smart the fit is not the ideal fit is that fair it’s not the ideal fit why not I think the the Marcus stuff I look because of the shooting the Marcus fit but he he defends I understand but you have one shooter yeah you got you have one shooter in your lineup M unless you play Vince at the four at times like play in that game Orleans last year who was it it was Vince it was J was it J Marcus Vince yeah I think the three I can’t remember it was the clothing lineup That was like ridiculous bro yeah oh yeah it was was it look I love Marcus Smart Marcus Smart is probably best flanked by guys that could shoot the ball as well Vin we’re just we’re just in a tough spot in I mean and maybe we’re going to look up at Morant can shoot in the high 30s from three I’m interested I’m interested more so I think how you piece this together for grizzli purposes because I’m not interested in trading like Marcus Smart to get back the third pick like me either CU I he just he means a lot to them like I mean know on the court need the but they would they would there would be other I’m saying get Brooklyn involved here’s what I’m saying if if it means I’m filling that out again everybody talks about this stuff like it’s one for one yeah I’m not losing mark smart and getting Reed Shephard no I’m getting or I’m not losing Marcus Smart and getting Donovan kingan yes that is what it’s going to right but I am also now enabl to get would you rather have Jared Allen and Reed Shepard or Marcus Smart shut the f up I can’t even talk to you if that’s if it’s not for this team well here’s this is but no here is the we don’t know if Reed sheard’s good though like we don’t know that we don’t know that I think he’ll probably be a pretty good player but we don’t know that he’s did you not watch yeah but we don’t we don’t know I just know we still don’t know Jared Allen I’m whatever I mean I don’t know you don’t like Jared Allen still I’m still on the thing I just really I really just want more like more adults around these dudes and like you get rid of one totally understand that one of the ones that’s like really like he’s really like took he took the team by like like really trying to structure things out last year you would be you would be getting rid of him and that’s part I’m like that’s you taken away with what they needed opposed to what we need on the court whether it’s guards or centers totally they need the structure of like a dude that’s seen winning I agree around them and that’s why I can’t I can’t get rid of markets like that what if it was Donovan kingan and Mel Bridges that’s so that’s better on the court too but but that’s that’s my thing is I think I think there’s a way to get Brooklyn involved in this where you get Mel Bridges but you still have to give something up but I also don’t think Mel Bridges is the Marcus Smart like he ain’t the per I don’t know I mean I don’t know but I would doubt he’s not that P of P personality so you guys don’t want to keep Markus smart necessarily because of basketball I want to keep him because of how much he like just the structure of this team I I do want to keep him basketball we never got to see it and when we did they were like six and three were so good when score on them well I mean this team look me and you and Roser well forget Roser he’s got a bad back me and you if you put me and you out there with J Dez and jiren you look good that’s fine that’s what I’m saying do it D but I mean we look good with Dylan Brooks come on bro Dylan’s good he’ll defend he not like us that’s tough I do think the Revelation last year makes it easier to try to move on from Marcus CU you’ve got you do have a wing Defender there uh with Vince yeah but I’d like this but he’s still he’s young too it’s the int like the intangible stuff like the it’s the reason I wanted him in the first place the intangible stuff that he does I know we’re talking about like putting the ball like basketball but like the little the little things like even the the play he made in La the little like like that’s little little stuff that you want around these dudes so and also totally fair I think you know if we’re just talking our way through this totally fair to take a step back and you go hey the reason they covet Marcus Smart is the same reason you should CET Marcus Smart exactly he’s going to help the young guys correct reason I got you teach them how to win be Drew holiday [ __ ] there’s a reason eoko wants him and you want him for your practices and you want him around your team and you want him in your locker room and you want him in your huddles like it extends Beyond basketball MH for how important so the same reason that you want Marcus Smart around a bunch of young guys is the same reason so there is a possibility that that is just a pipe dream yeah you know that Houston’s floating out there right they’re doing their bidding on that side right like hey float this out there like hey you know and you may just say hey man it’s not worth it to us to get up to to three um but we do have to think look you can’t have everything yeah you’re not going to be able to pay J and Dez and jiren and all the players you want to play like you are going to have to figure this out long term where if you can find players that can be in your rotation and play for you nightly for $8 million yeah if your starting center is going to make $8 million for the next four years yeah I I know you know like I know you’re not going to be sitting around stressing about like these guys are all you know if if John makes another all NBA team this year which I think is a fair uh even less prognosis he’s gonna he’s gonna they’re going to rip that contract up and sign another extension and then you’ve got jiren the other one’s J after another year if jiren wins DPI or makes an all NBA team he’s eligible for super max so you got to think about this stuff yeah and adding like the draft is the chance to add players that can be in your rotation for four years that you don’t unless you’re just going to hit second rounders and get them to sign up for three years like you did GG and and Vince Williams but you can’t you can’t depend on that yeah you can’t depend on that’s a rarity right that’s a rarity what what what what is now here’s the and and the reason you’re in this situation is because you look up and down you’ve got bang you if you’re just going like wings you’ve got ban smart Vince canard’s totally a question mark right M bro the only other things we until the only other things you got are laravia a ear and Kar yeah I mean they missed so far it looks like misses on zier misses on laravia Miss on Rody like you you nailed these second rounders which is good and you were able to sign them up long term but I mean you’ve got the guys under these contracts that it’s like do you see them in a like we just watched the NBA Playoffs we just watched the NBA Playoffs for two straight months every single night we watched about them came in here and talk about it can you see those guys on a playoff court next year that’s the prison we watch it through for sure and it’s like how many do we have that you could see you could see Gard you could see Bane you could see smart you could see Vince and a little another year you maybe can see a GG out there we we we cont didn’t get on the court Z didn’t get on the court laravia didn’t get on the court and who was the other one I mentioned Santi you know I ja Bane and smart per we’re talking perimeter players ja Bane smart Vince I could see playing playoff game Canard did us I don’t want Canard playing real minutes but they were I mean they were to make a decision on you can play you can play little spotties spot give give me 10 shoo canard’s played 20 minutes for you in playoff game I don’t know about that well if nard was playing 20 minutes that Dylan Brooks played in the LA series we would have won it according to the numbers we were way better with Canard on the court way better Bing but that was tough we were still don’t think we would have won that series um but yeah no I think I think those four if you want to include kard yeah like spot minut it’s like that’s that’s fine too well the other thing is is smart going to be able to stay healthy and is smart going to knock down can smart stay healthy can Jos stay healthy can Bane stay healthy well no and knock down threes like it’s all about get getting the requisite space this is what they have done for guildas Alexander in Oklahoma City yes they’ve given him space that’s why they had to get giddy at the hell out off the floor finally he got played off the court play he stopped playing well which is why and it’s like okay do you want Marcus smt taking nine threes I I yeah I know cuz that’s the shot that becomes available that’s the shot see give Vince 93s yeah Vince is official his I’d let Vince take 93 Mar Vince wouldn’t take 93 but it’s also not the available shot yeah if you can hit threes they stay on you you know what I mean his best season for the whole idea is how can you how can you create the maximum amount of space for Morant to operate and have reliable guys that you could toss it out to that if my I pinch in I Chuck it out to you and you’re burying it that’s how you become like the full-fledged team yeah they I mean the more Shooters you have they can’t cover it no matter what like if you got awesome Shooters everywhere like you can’t also two if you but what if you have one shooter but if you have B but that’s what I’m saying like if you have Bane if you have Bane and Vince out there if you have Bane and Vince out there like they can’t cover that which is why the big let’s slow down on Vince yet okay he’s been a good shooter but no we don’t know we have not seen him in play we have not seen him in a playoff game he has not stayed healthy jaah has not stayed healthy for three seasons Desmond Bane has had back issues and foot issues so he hasn’t stayed healthy either and that may be the best argument for keeping smart is like hey he could be your point guard in the inevitable amount of games that J has to miss or if Bane misses some games like you’ve got this other reliable guyle theall I mean that’s also that’s also the argument for me for shephard I am much higher on Shephard than you guys are yes like I think I like I like re shephard I think Shephard’s going to be awesome this is going to be ex like Chad with Deon didn’t like do he not the same I read sheard’s Cod okay if chaden was but let’s be real here if chaden was in this draft if Chad hren was in this draft the prospect rankings would be number one Chad hom grin and then we’d start number two way down here they a’t no they ain’t the same thing like they’re not the same play that dude Chad is I like no but he was out on chat I don’t I’m just saying like I’m I’m whatever on it like I don’t I think a lot of the guys in the draft are unproven this year there’s not anybody I see that I go that guy’s awesome that I think is going that I would say that guy’s going to be awesome I think they’re going to be good players the only the only two I would be willing to trade up to get or Shepard or Clingan that’s the only on yeah those are the only two players that’s fair CU I I do not I think both of them are going to be starter level players can he guard though in the NBA guard he literally broke Rondo’s steel record I’m just asking like a guard on the ball you tell me I’m just asking I mean well I guess he no he missed it by what two or three just asking if you can guard on the ball Ray joh Rondo Rondo did vouch for him too asking a question if you can guard on the ball that’s all I’m asking can he guard athletic Defenders when people are dribbling yes and not in college like if my internet worked I could help you guys just ask look just trying to make sure I don’t know how you get that many steals if you can’t I mean you can you can jump past them all right name the name the guy his weakness is despite his despite his ability to make big plays on defense often finds himself out of position or gambling for a big play no that doesn’t mean he can’t guard it just means his decision may he is college still um okay he’s not a first option on offense that’s fine that’s fine for us too works best as a glue guy or connector piece fine we’re fine with that as well um Can struggle to get shots off against good defense lacks creation skills will occasionally Force pass is trying to make something happen these are all like college things like when you’re the you’re like the guy he’s never going to be like the guy missed Rondo’s record by five he did Rondo had 87 and a season Shepherd had 82 he’s I’ve never seen him being like considered like as like a you know he’s a really good shooter though yeah hella good shooter what sh like 50 over 50% 54% from three that’s o d 54% from three that’s crazy that’s crazy in col that is that 54% from three is like that’s how many I just have this is a Scouting Report I don’t have like I I just I and if you’re losing Canard we need guys that can shoot the ball he’s not big though either he took four and a half threes a game not as many as you would think four and a half that’s a it’s a good amount for college it’s a lot for college play 29 minutes a game 29 NBA you multiply that by like two maybe hey his real name’s Isaiah and one and one of the beefs was they didn’t play him enough like Kentucky were I don’t know how many times I got to tell you just take the freaking Kentucky guard yeah I mean at some point you’re going to listen to me the Kentucky the Kentucky guard is a that’s a real thing take the Kentucky the bad one Tyler Ulus okay now let’s go to the next and Kentucky fans also and Kentucky fans also did not think that like that was one of their beats with Cal Perry’s like yo you do not play these guys enough you didn’t play Shephard enough you didn’t play Dillingham enough yeah oh so the fact that he is extremely disruptive on defense means that despite his shortcom he shouldn’t be a liability on the defensive end he can play on ball or off ball on offense and should be able to find a role in the league yeah just I’m just asking questions if he can play defense that’s all I’m asking if he question is he better TJ McConnell cool yeah I’ll take him that’s fine SM on but well that’s what yeah I mean compared to a white dude I mean they’re short white guys who are feisty yeah like that’s I mean I think that’s fair to a white dude I think that’s fair but T.J McConnell’s good but T.J McConnell also is not the third pick in the draft bro if you you lose Luke Canard you have got to have somebody else that I can say can shoot yeah I I’m I’m with you that is what it is yeah I’m with you you can’t just have a joh r a bunch of teams of guys that can’t shot I mean you could win regular season games but you know you will not win deep in the playoffs and I then that is ultimately all they should be thinking is how do we win in the playoffs and like we we can’t just keep saying hey well hopefully this guy can shoot yeah like hopefully GG Jackson so that’s always been like I hope I that’s always like that’s always one of the flaws with that’s one of the flaws with like why we like we love the Brandon jiren thing but ultimately why that can that work when you have Jah and Brandon on the court together like the lob stuff works but like come playoff time like neither one of them are shooting threats and having two guys that can’t shoot on the court at the same time that was why the Celtics when they had porzingis so you so crazy out there you’ll have two Shooters like when we go get in the playoffs I think jiren end up playing the five so you have jiren and Diz he’s not playing the five against anybody good you don’t think so no what he would have to if we don’t have anyone right now you think he’s playing the five against Rudy Gober you think he’s playing the five against Nicola yic you think he’s playing the five go go I think he play against iaka zubot you think he’s going I mean zubot zubot had 20 rebounds against us yeah he did that’s and that’s part of Jared can’t rebound no I love Jared the number we play center a million times last year the number didn’t go up no that’s not what he does that’s you know what I mean no you can’t start him at Center and if we do we better hope that we just turn you over like crazy because yeah we’re not going to get the rebounds your guards kind of help out too but you know well I don’t know this our guards rebound like maniacs this episode stresses me out you guys Vince is really good at rebound John Mar averages like six rebounds a game and B averages like five is an J is a great rebounding point then you put Vince out there and Marcus too they all are great rebound marus rebound he did play the five without them last year like just dude just I mean you know but we won like 29 games I want him I want him as my power forward yeah I mean that’s fair if we’re going to get a center we better get a center that he can play back up Center play get minutes it’s certainly when we want to go five wide yeah like the goar thing I mean maybe against goar is probably a bad example because he could space the floor completely five wide just go go go at it cuz he cooks him OKC Style just yeah five wi check like check that’s I’m seeing through the prison like way I watch Boston this year where you can have five dudes that can dribble dribble pass get I mean not shoot but just get off the get off the ball but all those guys could shoot they all could shoot and that’s our problem even Big Al big that’s our that’s our problem we got to be able you know what I mean and especially with Mor is so spectacular you just want the maximum amount of space that you can create M you don’t want what we saw guess who didn’t have the requisite amount of shooting this year uh Minnesota Minnesota did so what same way that Dallas could go boxes and elbows against them they could have gone boxes and elbows against us absolutely and just say fine shoot okay you want to you want to you want to live and die with Vince Williams and Marcus Smart shooting threes go ahead yeah go ahead no they would but but but John Moran doesn’t get to decide this just like they said Anthony Edwards doesn’t get to decide this yeah you know so we’re just going to box as and elbows you mhm to death in fact that’s what exactly we still have Dez if they do that if they play like a a box and one and he was the one that actually had a good series against Minnesota when we played them he did spr but they did they did make J get to the point where we wondered if J was hurt or what was wrong they made him do the Tatum thing yeah they made him do the Tatum thing with the people like oh you’re not going to get to decide this we’re just going to make you see two and three guys every single time so Dez had an amazing Series against him and then the next series which will it’ll always be a great unknown they decided they were going to jar guard J straight up and he murdered them he was averaging like 40 points a game against a Warriors before he got hurt people forget about how good of course they forget about it you can’t guard him with one guy you need three you actually need three people and he’s only getting bigger and stronger you need three and that’s why I’m saying the more space we can give the guy yeah the better we’ve got to have enough players that the other team has to stay attached to and I’m talking about winning at the highest level I’m not talking about winning on a Tuesday night against Charlotte I’m seeing about through that I’m seeing it through the playoff prism I don’t give a damn about a rular season cuz we we win games in regular season regardless long as you got 12 13 and 22 we going to win games in reg season they win G yes for sure I’m trying to win playoff games bro and you got but but here’s the thing you’re going to have to have a backup point guard a small for do you do you think our small forward are you comfortable with our small forward just being Markus smart no I mean if you can that’s why that’s why I said for the beginning of this if you can find a way if you can find a way to bring Brooklyn into this and make it a three-way deal and you get male Bridges back then like let’s roll let’s do it start to start the game okay so you then you’re going to have your veteran Le leader coming from the bench who has been in 120 playoff games as a bench player who’s the close the game jaw Dez right who’s the three that’s what I’m that’s what we’re talking about he’s saying Marcus I’m saying Marcus can close the game I don’t have he have to start it for me well Marcus Mar started when we did have them healthy that’s for a very short amount of that last lineup I’m trying to remember that last line cuz that lineup was crazy it was J Dez I think it was Vince Marcus and jiren I think that was a five you can’t that’s six players no it’s five it’s five you said J Dez Vince Marcus and jiren that’s five players oh yeah trying to clown me bro on this man you just made the three four J Santi Vince Dez and jir that’s who it was that was the five that was in the pelic game they were going crazy the game-winning play that that lineup was crazy STI pause it pause it Santi okay it was Santi and jiren at the the 4 five okay and Vince so Marcus W even out there Marcus was hurt there he is I remember that they were crazy good that did we ever see the four of them together I think in Dallas we did did we no ja was out by then J was out by the by the game Marcus got hurt in let me see give me a second no that was just Dez and and smart oh brother CU remember brother did we ever have all four of them we must have had a game right well J only played 11 right it was J Dez Vince Marcus no forget Vince my bad I’m just saying Marcus and jiren Marcus and jar play games together I’m say no I’m saying the four J the guy’s on the poster I got you I got go if you just go through jaw’s game log you’ll just see how many games did we have or I I I could probably do it with the fourman lineups or whatever I really don’t know the answer to that the Lakers game which they okay so that was on the that was when they were on the scores table Yeah the Lakers game so they were on the scores table and then we never saw Mor again yeah cuz that was a Juicy J game they had all four of them for that game juy Jame January 5th was the Lakers game jary 5th and that was J Dez Marcus jiren and who [Laughter] biombo so that you know what that means insert random player here so yeah that look yeah that’s that’s the that’s the yeah they played that lineup was so damn good bro six games together Marcus jiren John Dez six played in six games my internet is so they did and I bet I I bet Marcus Smart took 45 threes in those G I’m I’m just looking at I’m just looking at the nba.com something they shot look at that he shot threes in those oh he was splashing he eight for 14 in that Lakers game I remember he started like well then how many did he hit in the Dallas game seven eight for 14 143 attempts 29 Points so I mean that is the question that’s the that’s that’s the shot that is available if Vargas maret knock down what was his what was his percentage he only played 20 something games he was 9 for 16 no no no the season he was 31% so he that is terrible 31 that is God awful he had he he was getting him up so look he his last game is in January he started the month San Antonio Toronto 0 for nine and then he shot 14 in the Lakers game made eight he shot 13 against Phoenix made four and made four against Dallas before he messed up his finger so that Lakers game his Lakers game he was splashing at Jo it was 31% in 20 something games yeah 31% we get him to like 38% yeah get up to like 30 bro he’s been in the league for 10 he never been he’s never been over 35% has he I will say they played Marcus I got I got I got to [ __ ] up right now give me a second they played Marcus jiren JN and Dez played 114 minutes together last year in the six games so that’s less than three full games their offensive rating was 106.6 six their defensive rating was 105 a net rating of plus 1.6 yeah he shot not great his best shooter percentage in the season was 1819 he shot 36.4% from three from three and that was on four attempts a game yeah that’s not great 36 I tried to tell you this but that one game but that one game Crazy smoken like a true Dylan Brooks fan right crazy that yeah you a l had that one game Dyan yeah without the I think Marcus is the superior player but it’s that shot is available and they are willing shot takers but they do not make them at a high enough clip they said Marcus DB with a better attitude this is a chess well also the lot of the things I look I have never I’ve never told you that Dylan Brooks didn’t matter to that locker room matter to that hudle matter to that team same way you do need those kind of guys and so you guys are saying that’s what you worry about with you know if you were to move off of smart I agree if you move off Smart you got to find a replacement for that remember the unless you think is is it truly going to be Dez are do you think that those guys have matured enough to where those three guys are now their team no CU it would be Dez CU de cuz Dez would have to be think they are still we need someone to look up to mod yes bro I think so cuz it would be dares would be the one yep cuz Dez is the leader bro correct he’s the leader of the group and I think they still need somebody next to a couple of them dudes to rock out cuz Dez he his voice is getting a little bit louder but I still think they need somebody like Marcus or somebody that’s seen winning before to be next to him right to to Mar I just rock is it’s tough man it’s tough I hate this time of year me too and Trey deadline I don’t like this I don’t like February I mean cuz the other thing is I don’t know what’s available at nine you know what I mean I think they were so distraught over having that sorry ass season and ending up with the ninth pick mhm you expect it to be high it’s a disaster no it really is that is a disaster so now it changes your plans you were hopeful hey worst case scenario we’re drafting top five top three no no no no no what was the worst case scenario we were slotted six is that right seven seven yeah we we dropped two spots yeah so we’re that was that was what you thinking like okay the nightmare is that we draft seventh but hey we got like a one and three chance of getting in the top four I mean that was real yeah come on we had a one and three chance of getting in the top four and instead we’re just get that pick and not have to give any and then instead we’re drafting nine and it’s like we don’t want to we don’t need the ninth pick in the draft there’s nobody at nine that can help us we need players that have played NBA games that’s what I want in my life players that have played NBA games on a high level or decent level look number one we got to have players that actually have like that could stay healthy yeah we do like we do and and and unfortunately we had two vets on the team last year they didn’t stay healthy either yeah no one stayed healthy Canard and smart I know but like we don’t have guys that have like years in the league the guys that you had with years in the league were smart Canard and Rose and how many games did they play I mean like rose need my my guy Derrick Rose is every every three games what needed to stretch right stretching right the other thing is you’re going to have to clear out this Wing stuff yeah you got a lot of you got a lot you got a bunch of unplayable yeah you know cuz you got what Vince consolidate unplayable oh you got unplayable you go ahead you do the unplayable he did already he said it already you’ve got to consolidate that’s what I’m saying okay and I’m talking about the highest level I mean like again you just got to consolidate you’re taking a run at this thing and you look you still are at this unbelievable stage in your franchise where these guys like you are getting crazy value from your core three because you’re spending about $80 million when you should be spending $150 million right now seriously the those players if you not Dez obviously got his max contract yeah but you know you saved about a100 million between JW and jiren Jaws was self-inflicted obviously by not making all NBA and then jarn was signing that contract the year after an injury yeah and you got I mean you’re going to look up and you’re going $25 million for J Jackson Jr is crazy you seeing guys now they’re signing these and and you’re going to see the extension after this season where the last number for John Mor is going to be like a 100 million I’m not kidding get prepared for that that cuz it’s like 90 with Shay that’s a lot of money yeah he did you see the like the extension possible extension for guildas Alexander like got up to the 90s that’s insane yeah that’s wild I mean that’s so Morant makes all NBA this year I mean Jason tat is averaging we expect to have a good year huh we expect him to to have a good year right yeah like first half the year though we want to have you need I want two of them I need two of them on all NBA Oh you mean jiren and jiren and 12 yeah Jared does JAR Jared’s gonna sign the richest contract in the franchise’s history I mean whoever’s up next is going to right I don’t know man you can watch out if John makes all NBA then he’s going to rip that contract up after next season and signed a new extension yeah and there’s and that new extension is going to be yeah like astronomical yeah a third of the price of FedEx forum astronaut you can buy FedEx for with status buy my own Arena yeah trying to sell the arena imagine having your Arena after like named after you like the grizzly get

NCAA presented uh the Commissioners with two different bottles of expanding the NCAA tournament one with 72 teams one with 76 teams in it expanding the NCAA tournament would be fill in the blank sucker whatever over over OD OD bro everybody don’t need to be in the tournament bro it’s at 68 now I think there’s so many fans like me for example who doesn’t watch college basketball but I’ll watch when the tournament happens because it’s just like the excitement around it mhm more games I will say if Memphis was like have been their only chance last year everyone would have been happy here right 74 I don’t know I don’t know if they get 76 teams we would have gotten in the reason the reason I’m whatever is because they’re going to do it anyway like they’re going to do it but you watch these like playin games dude like I mean with the exception of the one UCLA team like you watch the it ain’t good basket I don’t know VC you made a final four out of it they were not a play in that year with shakka yep I didn’t even know they already had the play in then yep yeah I’m just like it’s just I because I feel like you saturate the you saturate way too much if you let everybody in that joint like you you get like teams that are terrible in playing in the N you do how I look at when I watch a lot of those playing teams like their teams aren’t good anyway so yeah I I would shrink it down to be honest I just don’t want it down I I I the only the only thing I would tell you is I worry that it’ll never stop just keep ballooning and this Ian this is this is what they this is what they said about the this is what they said about the college football playoff right it’s like they’re still not going to be happy there’s still going to be so much money going around they’ll do this for a little while and then they’ll expand it again right and and then eventually the reg season really won’t matter because you’ll have three lost teams getting in the playoff like it’s yeah uh you would be most excited if blank is a Grizzly next Thursday or Friday fill in the blank my stomach LeBron James a player from another team LeBron James come on be realistic oh god there was a whole

23rd that’s a Sunday is National Olympic dayoo okay the Summer Olympics are coming up you can’t say basketball the one Olympic event you’re excited to watch this summer in Paris is fill in the blank suck swimming yeah I think the only thing that’s the only thing I watch I think the swimming I think the S but I go out of my way to watch the swimming I like watching swimming races and we’re awesome at it yeah yes you know what I mean like we because that my whole life like I mean especially you think about the last like 10 20 years I would say the biggest Olympic athletes are Phelps Michael Phelps probably Lei if she pulls it off this year I mean like Lei and then what Simone biles the women’s gymnastics team the women women’s gymnastics team is awesome but would you say those are the most like when you think of if I were list off like if I said famous Olympians like American Olympians not like you would name Michael Phelps Michael Phelps Katie Lei Simone biles uh Michaela [ __ ] Alli racan like the the gymnast the gymnastics team thaty that gymnastics team got famous but biles is by far the most fous she is have you seen the Lei commercials during SVU no Olivia Benson is like if Katie Lei touches the wall one more time she is the most decorated seen I’m going to go to track and field track and field is mine I love to see the best people on earth I like watching the RAC yeah like the 100 400 like the full that’s the Sprints I like the 100 and the 400 the problem that stins with Americans is that like any American that wins it we find out they’ve just been doing a ton of steroids that’s fine fine I’ll find out afterwards just let me enjoy this this 10 seconds oh and relay relay is fun I know that’s Rel are fun too the tracklet the track events are my favorite is Shakari Richardson on the US she did not get she was not allowed on the team not allowed on the team is that right she been like all the like all the other events though just she smoked some weed yeah bro it’s tough out here bro try to do a Rebrand all right go ahead all right we all like you said we all enjoyed Drake’s funeral last night we we call it goon teth uh in La last night uh it was a fun moment for the culture it was a cookout Drake’s next move oh should be fill in the blank sucker go away I mean like I would but I would have vot I would have voted for that like 10 years I am always I am always on the side of humor and so I think you are you’re if I were his PR guy I think you’re Absolut it’s you’re absolutely dead to try to be serious about this anymore and the only way out of this is to goof on yourself yeah and to it not take yourself seriously and whether it’s on an award show or it’s l or it’s a video you make whatever it may be making fun of the fact that like you picked the worst fight in the history of fights you know what I’m saying like I think the only way to do it is to is to goof about it honestly could do I don’t think there’s any way out of it other than because people you you’re you’re now in a crisis mode where people you know you tried to take it all seriously and then you just got demolished and so now the only thing you can is make fun of yourself for it that’s my opinion that’s my opinion and that makes you relatable that makes you relatable it’s like you are accepting what everybody is already saying about you like oh the same way that I okay so for Father’s Day M there was a there was the thing that uh somebody reposted the Foot Locker commercial from that draft class yeah and it’s like Jason Tatum and dear Fox and whatever and they’re giving messages about their dad and they’re like you know I remember my dad going in the backyard and letting me win and playing basketball against him every day and then Jason Tatum’s like I remember my dad taking me on fishing trips and then they go to Lonzo ball and he’s like I remember that time my dad stood up in the middle of the game and yelled at my coach that if he didn’t play me that I was going to pull from the team and then he bullied 29 teams from drafting me and then started a brand using my name and made me wear the shoes and it’s a whole thing and then it comes back and it’s like Jason Tatum’s like and the fishing trips you know mean it’s like okay so all any oh and he said and I remember when he challenged the greatest player of all time on national TV but and so it’s like you’ve got to take all this stuff and just make fun of it cuz then at that point you take the bullets out of everybody’s guns in my opinion in my opinion there’s nothing they could say if you accept you know what I mean certifi love boy certified pedophile how you how do you get around that I have the answer y’all say it’s y’all say you looked at me weird no go away like not forever but make he posted on IG no and he can’t stop Drake Style no it’s not but it needs to be all right go ahead you say just go away for a while go away for a year or two make people I think he has to marry Kendrick Lamar’s mom and just be his dad that’s the biggest I’m your daddy now babe stop mhm stop I looked up her name I don’t think that would happen think I don’t think that’s like that’s not an option option of an option no that’s you have to make fun of yourself that’s my opinion you’re dealing with I don’t think there’s any other way around it go and make fun of it cuz taking a serious will be like that’s right people be like yo shut your ass up right that’s right so you just say certifi love a boy certifi you just wouldn’t can never happen if he made a video talking about the big mistake he ever made like doing it seriously like but but obviously doing it tongue and cheek um or like they did a skit where he’s in like a self-help thing with or he’s talking to a therapist or whatever like all of a sudden everybody starts laughing with him about it but it needs he’s like have you ever seen an entire city you know he was filming he filmed a video in Houston like last week or the week before he was filming he was down he was in Houston filming a bunch of stuff but like I’m just serious like he need go away for a year or two make the people he’s not going away for years that is what you that’s not going to happen either you guys are [ __ ] on my idea he’s not going away for two years he also not marrying kid there there’s a better chance he goes away for is the correct idea and by the way I’m on a run here with the great ideas so just just be clear um I told you that when he picked a fight with Kendrick Lamar it was an absolute AB disaster I knew that was going to be a disaster and then I told you Jason Tatum was a phony that was I’ll give you been on my Tik Tok lately it’s been it’s been I stay winning he was a drake will make fun of this eventually and Ado was dancing last night say you a fan you a fan you a fan it’s hard to come back from I understand I just don’t think you you you can’t moves look you’re not comfortable in the gutter so get out of the gutter and make a joke out of it yeah the two times he got in the gutter he lost oh my God push and Kendrick either colossal errors and judgment they are different levels of MC’s than he is yeah my guy had Nike Shocks on last night also don’t care no they don’t they don’t have stuff fight yes you can’t get in a fight with guys that don’t care they don’t have stuff to hide
