or you’re going to make oo cry [Music] we had breaking news today kevin Durant has been traded to the Rockets the Suns traded KD to the Rockets for Jaylen Green Dylan Brooks the number 10 pick in the 2025 draft five second round picks kd was at Fanatics Fest when someone captured the moment when KD and his agent Rich Kimman found out let’s take a look at this video guys so I’m not surp I’m not surprised by this there is only a handful of teams that had maybe the some players and the pick the compensation the Suns messed this up look I like Matt Ishba i’ve met him several times he’s a great guy but he gave up too much to get Kevin Durant and he was never going to reciprocate that because he’s 2 years older than when you got him so now you’re not going to be able what you gave up to get him you’re not going to be able to get that back they we know you want him gone he knows you want him gone and everybody else knows you want him gone and so oo plus Miami they turned down Miami’s package because I told you they didn’t have enough to get they didn’t have anything haime Hawz Havoc Highmith what hey I I have a question though something something you just said some something you just said right we talk about Kevin Durant one of the prolific scorers of all time you said Ishba did too much to get him he gave up too much to get him yes but because of the player he is that’s why he did what he had to do to actually get a player that that magnitude now the reason you got him was you hope what you put and invested into him you hope it turned out and came to fruition it just didn’t and normally when you buy a car when you buy a car off the car lot right and as soon as you drive it off what does it do it depreciate well so you understand when you get a play of that magnitude as great as he is as great as he is in and he’s older now you’re still not going to get back what you bought for him but I think the thing is Joe is that when you look at what you Okay you got KD and book did you really need Bradley Bill did you really need Bradley Bill or do I need to secure my Do I need to get depth for my bench so now I take trade more draft capital and give up more players so now they don’t have a first round pick until 2031 you do realize it’s 2025 right well well and that’s why I think it’s a good trade for Phoenix though if you’re talking about Phoenix is going to be able to do some of these things and possibly get a pick and all this again Kevin Durant to me goes there i think instantly to me he makes them more viable when I think about having a score with them young them young Bulls he got playing with him over there i don’t I I I give I make that trade all that i love I I like him better in I like him better in Houston than I did in than in Phoenix agree you’re not because you got Shenon you got Shenun you got Armond Thompson you resigned Van Fleet you a you were able to keep Jabari Smith Jr so now and plus the problem that Houston had they had the second best record in the in in the West 52 wins but they didn’t have a guy that you can give the ball to late in the ball game and go get you a bucket you now have that yeah how long how long how long though Joe i know i know you ISO Joe to be about 36 37 he 37 you’re telling me you’re gonna let And I love KD but you’re you’re putting him in a position where you’re going to have him carry your team late to go get buckets i think I I think he’s going to be I think he’s naturally going to do that late in games i I I love the fact that he’s with a bunch of young cats like some grimy young cats who going to work hard play hard and he ain’t going to have I don’t think he going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting guys they got some guys who can play over there you know what I mean they got some guys going to come into their own obviously they going to play through Shingong and like you said I’m glad they kept Jabari Smith another tall long long guy who can shoot the ball who can post up who can play multiple positions and uh led by Van Flee i think they have a great team over there i think KD can put him over the hump i don’t think it’s going to be rigorous on him as far as you know uh uh him trying to carry that team i think collectively they going to do a great job now naturally he’s going to be the cream of the crop when it comes to scoring the basketball cuz he does it so well and it comes so easy to him i mean and plus you got three guys 610 or better you got 611 you got 611 uh uh uh KD you got 611 Shingun you got 610 Jabari Parker you got Armen Thompson at 67 you got Van Fleet that can run the I I like this i like I like I said I like KD here more than I like them in Phoenix because all you had was offense they didn’t have rebounding they didn’t have rim protecting they did they didn’t have great depth cuz think about what you gave up to get him you gave up your best defender in Male Bridges you gave up a young Cam Johnson you gave up what three first round draft picks that’s an awful lot to give up for a guy and now and now you go trade for Bradley Bill which weakens you even more as far as draft compensation and depth for your bench these teams that played in the NBA finals what do they have depth depth now they might not be as good as the big three for Phoenix but Phoenix once you got once you got Book and Katie out of the game now hey look my question is what what is Phoenix going to look like with Devin Booker Jaylen Green and Bradley Bill i mean them three are pretty much of the same guy you know what I mean i said that when they got I said that when they got watch out Joe one of the things could happen and I’ve been hearing this that there might be a possibility of Boston making moves what’s going to happen are you going to keep Porzingis here you have a big hole over there in in in Phoenix right now can you go out and get one of those guys for Boston and make and get that pick or want to give that pick up for maybe Porzingis to put him in that position you know Joe that once you get traded to a team doesn’t necessarily mean you need to stop ch you know your bags don’t need to be unpacked you need to keep bag because you might be moving on in the new NBA right yeah uh Rocket fans don’t seem to be happy with the KD trade one tweeted “It happened today was my last day as a Rocket fan i wish the worst and the absolute worst on this franchise trading a 23-year-old superstar for a washed 40-year-old and genuinely the worst thing you could ever do i hope KD retires next season and that the franchise completely crumbles.” Damn kd KD also spoke to K Adams today and said Phoenix wanted him gone let’s take a listen to what Katie had to say last one for you lot of heartbroken Suns fans right now what would you like to say that’s not true no literally heartbroken Suns fan right over there what i just I just felt like Yeah that mean they wanted me to go so it’s like I’m glad we both you know they got what they wanted they got what I wanted so we can move on and good luck to them going forward i always remember my time there but we on something else hey I don’t see nothing wrong with what he said because it wasn’t it wasn’t him who came to them asking and looking for a trade he found out they were trying to trade him so as as as athletes we know when you it’s basically saying “You don’t you don’t want us okay it’s somebody out there who will take me it’s somebody else out there who do want me.” and uh he was able to give him a few teams that he wanted to go play with so give the Suns credit for even trading him to uh Houston Texas to Texas cuz that was one of the stops that he wanted to go well he knew the Suns excuse me the Rockets the Spurs uh No yeah the Rockets the Spurs Brooklyn were really the only the handful of team that had the draft capital to go get him so he had no choice i mean he he couldn’t go to Miami because Miami don’t have anything to offer for him your two best players are untouchable tyler Herro and Bam and you see the package jaime Hawkins Jr havic High Smith it’s like absolutely not absolutely but dude dudes what did what did we think then because they had to make that move how bad they were offensively and defense and the only person other than book that you gonna get anything poor on that team was KD so in in his case they had to make that move they had to go out and say “Dude you you you can go on.” And here’s the the thing that me and Joe love about this joe where’d they go oh I know to a damn state that they ain’t got no damn stadium income tax how about that how about that there was a back and forth Boogie Cousins a few days ago regarding the report the Suns had multiple fist fights in the locker room kevin Durant says “I have to contest this 94-footer uh this some bull drive to throw on us.” Yeah yeah yeah we were trash this year haha but we never got close to this never the Phoenix Sun reportedly had multiple fist fights in the locker room per Boogie Cousins uh the Boogie says “The source was one of your teammates killer i ain’t referencing you referring to you save that is for the other homies.” Hey anytime hey hey Uncle Joe bread anytime something like that get out you know it always it always come from from one of the players it always come from locker room always that’s the only That’s the only time I hate when stuff I hate when stuff like that happen too man you know I hate when d I hope when dudes be chatty patty when something goes on in the locker room it’s supposed to stay right there supposed to stay right there because guys be pillar talking and okay fist fight man everybody fight who don’t fight it happens in training camp did y’all fight in training camp yep you know I mean it it happens all the time whatever happened in the locker room it stayed in the locker room whatever if you didn’t cap if they didn’t catch you no it doesn’t no it doesn’t Shannon it doesn’t stay lock no I’m saying I know you didn’t but here’s what happened as you’re saying right now it’s pillow talk you go tell your wife something you go tell your girlfriend you know how them stories go you tell her she tell somebody else and then it’s off is going in the woods so a lot of times what we have in the NBA are wives and girlfriends and and now it’s moms who get who have a lot of going on because of they have they have a lot of power now Joe it’s not like back in the day back in the day girlfriends were quiet they said nothing about no damn basketball they talk about everything else but not about basketball now they think they playing the damn game i’m like really you you don’t play i I didn’t see you on the other side doing anything i didn’t reports say the Suns will look to reroute Jaylen Green to another team i can see that that makes sense i Hey I need a draft huh hold on i’m I’m tripping now you trade KD for Jaylen Green now you want to ship Jaylen Green somewhere else and then I see reports that they also about a buyout with Bradley Bill what the hell going on guys oh Joe Bradley see Bradley Bill and LeBron is one of the two players two players that have no trades they want So you can’t move Bradley Bill where he doesn’t want to go so the best thing is like you know what let’s just go ahead and bite this bullet get up off this and move in a different direction so how would Bradley Beal look down here in Miami since he is a prolific scorer he is a scorer he’s gonna get 80 90% of his money he can look good wherever he choose to go come on hey let me let me let me holl let me let me take Man trying to get people in Miami hey well hey listen we We could use a score like that now look what he did on the Wizards and look what happened it’s too many people touching the goddamn it it don’t take It don’t take nothing to be a good score on a bad team you talking about You talking about the Heat no I’m saying it don’t take anything Brad you know this you got a bad team it don’t take much to be a top-notch scoreer cuz who cares you getting your eyes beat out anyway so don’t nobody that that’s that’s the one where they’ll say I I said that one time to coach Patino one time i was talking about Paul and I was talking about Antoine and that’s when they were beating the hell out of them Celtics and I was I was one of the reporters i said “So Paul and Antoine you know they got their numbers tonight coach.” And he turned to me i I was as embarrassed as I’ve ever been he said turn to me said numbers are for losers i don’t give a what about them scoring no baskets at all so you’re right in the NBA on a bad team you can look really good scoring the basketball because you’re the only thing they have but when you plug that into a good team does do you get wins because of that and you can see what happened with Bradley Bill he leaves Washington and goes to everybody said oh that they’re they’re going to be in they’re going to be in because he’s in school he goes now to Phoenix and he ain’t shooting that way no more he he ain’t getting them he ain’t getting what you say Joe back in the he getting touches like that he gonna get because you don’t you don’t get to take all them bad shots you don’t get to come down and say you know what I’m gonna get me 25 30 shots a night no matter what on a good team with other good players it’s not like that especially when you have multiple good players on said teams now maybe if he goes if it could be a situation like OKC Jubs and Shay gonna get the lion share of the shots like tonight Shay was eight of 27 JDub was seven of 20 now they got 47 of the 87 shots two guys took over half the shots okay but now you put Bradley Bill you put it with KD and Book ain’t enough bad shots to go around they going to be looking at you crazy you come down taking bad shots some of the bad shots that you were able to take and get away with when you with uh uh with the uh the Wizards i agree when you playing with other great players man you have to try to find a way to be efficient i take y’all guys back to 2005 2004 when I was playing with the Phoenix Suns nash was an MVP you had a uh Mario Starter was a premier allar sean Marion was a premier allar and as your fourth option which was me I wanted to be efficient i shot I shot 48% from the three and every time I took a shot I wanted I wanted to make it count cuz I knew I was going to get many of them you know what I mean so I wanted to make I did I knew Listen I knew the ones that I did get bread I had to be Yeah damn it you better make it inefficient you hear me so uh I I I did what I had to do that year and I only got a chance to play on that that with them guys where uh Nash for one year and I thought we had a special a special team but unfortunately we got some new ownership that came in and you know thought otherwise but Joe that made it that made it possible for you to go to another team though because you because you had highlighted what you were able to do on that particular team with not a lot of shots and I think that’s why you were able to go someplace else and all of a sudden You know you get the iso joe thing but look it goes back to what said i got when I got to Atlanta my first couple years I’m averaging 20 25 26 a game but hell that empty calories cuz we getting a nose bleed beat up out of Hey Joe hey Joe hey when you when you was in Phoenix started with the fire yeah man he was uh way before his time oh Joe the boy was so raw when he came he came in straight out of high school uh yeah yeah yeah he came in man i’m talking about just running through cats he was going through you it was no around you he was going through you i’m talking about I seen him go headtohead with Tim Duncan Kevin Gar Chris Weber i’m talking about the elites that boy was special man he was special oh that’s that’s your partner that’s Lake Whales that’s all you holl about is Lake Whales yeah florida lake Wales florida a Lake Wales florida yeah that That must be You mean Lakeland lakeland or I think because he always talk about him Roy Jones all this all all them oh okay okay okay okay okay okay okay yeah that that’s right up the road that’s right up the road oh how how all these damn athletes come out of damn Florida oh it’s the water baby it ain’t nothing but the water you know listen we We produce some different down here we We produce some different down here weather the weather look at where the best Look at the best athletes they come out of what warm weather california Texas Florida Georgia louisiana look I mean because you got you got like ideal cl you got ideal climate and you know us we like warm weather we don’t like the cold we Hey we like warm weather and for the most part you can do a lot of things lot a lot longer yes so you know you get warm weather a lot longer and you don’t get those you know those those long winters and short summers you get long summers but if you go back look at look at the look at basketball let’s just take basketball uh uh especially football ain’t even close all the football players from the outside california Texas Louisiana Georgia Florida right south Carolina stuff like that but I think that’s what it has to do it has to do with if you go back and look at it look at where most of the athletes come from damn i was from North Carolina i’m sorry come on you get a little back y got I guarantee you North Carolina might have the greatest basketball a lotment of basketball players ever put together outside more than Chicago oh hell yeah i’m taking Jordan jordan where is he from where where where I got a few Well you Hey it used to be New York you know used New York was a hot bed back in the back in the early 70s dominique dominique where is he from north Carolina buck Williams dominique James worthy we that sleepy David Floyd there’s a there’s a ton of guys you don’t even talk about bob McAdoo one of the greatest of all time he’s from Greensboro i mean there was so many great players hey David Thompson that people won’t even talk about anymore he was before Jordan he was Damn it i tell you what I was guarding one time and I was swiveling and I was going back and forth and somebody said live and I’m I’m gardening pretty good and then I turn around and I look I tell you what I can tell you what size shoe he wore because I was b his damn feet i could see he wore size 13 that’s all I saw [Music]
