And then you come over there and you got apprentice to it and that kind of Yeah. Built for it. Yeah. They going to be all right. Been like the three and D. So now he’s a star. He know how to run. You got the running for him and Tyler Hero going to average 20 a piece. So when you was doing all that running, they kept you on the bench. When you stop running, they stopped you. You see what happens, boy? I know what that feel like. [ __ ] You stop running, you get rewarded. You get rewarded. All right. All right. Boss, man. Kobe came back and I was like, [ __ ] You put me to the back to the corner. I’m just back to the corner. You go. I’m just saying like you did all that, man. You sent all that over there, man. That’s cool. That’s cool. Why get rid of him, though, if he the Clippers? Why is eligible? He’s better than Jones at the four, man. But yeah, is a good pickup for him. Yeah, but then you lose. You don’t know is Kawawaii going to be here all year. Yeah, you need that. As we talking about before, you need that insurance. But from from the Miami side though, you like Norman Pal going to the deep. Oh, we’re talking about Oh, from Miami side. Yeah, we’re talking Miami side first, then we’ll shift the clip. Norman Pal, I’m tired of being insurance. I want to be the guy. So, I’m out. Like, I don’t care about all that. Like, I want to be the guy. Jamal never got that opportunity. Lou never got that opportunity. Now he has the opportunity to get out of the shadow of that same [ __ ] And guess where it’s at? It’s in the [ __ ] Clippers, which is Yeah. Where both of them, Jamal and [ __ ] Lou and your ass. 22 games. Clippers, man. Sit over here in the corner. That’s where they corner. Norman P will be allstar this year 100%. Mr. B, you think the Norm P some thought should have been an all-star this year? Obviously, Brian announced that he was not playing the game very late. You’re going to take a bam. You going So they going to have three allars. What do you mean going to have three allars in Adam Silver’s Eastern Conference? Anything is popping out. I mean it’s a it’s a down year in a couple guys going to be down. Dame down. Okay. Impromptu. But let’s fight. Let’s fight. Bam. Hero [ __ ] Mitchell got a lot of guys got to show up again. I’m just saying Norma Pow going to be that guy that’s averaging 23. No. Yeah. So y’all see what y’all forgetting is the reason he was averaging that much is cuz one whole star was gone. So he was the go-to guy by himself. James Harden went out. No, James Harden was the assist guy. He was second in scored. He was he was he’s out there, but I’m giving you the ball. You’re going to Miami where there’s already guys who wants to shoot the ball. So now it’s now it’s fight for the ball. I could I’m hoping that I could put the ball in the hole though. That’s But they point guard is not a scorer. So he going, “No, no, the shooting guard is a score.” Okay, that’s what I’m saying. The five man’s to score. Okay, we need somebody. Three men want to score. We need somebody who think was tripping. He was averaging 24. He was averaging 24 because no one else was there. Right. Right. Okay. So, I’m giving you the ball to have fun. When one person came back, it was like, “All right, move around. Sit in the corner.” You’re going to a team where they all are trying to be the stars. So, it’s going to be more of a fight over there because they all going to be playing here in Clippers. You can bank on Kawhai not playing a lot. Like, yeah, I rather play with Kawhai because I know he’s not going to play 82 games, 65 game. He’s gonna play 40 to 50. So, I know I get to be a man for a while. The The Miami dudes, they going to want to play. Tyler Herro coming off of his first Allar game. Ty Herro want to score. They trying to both do the same. That’s okay. It’s It’s us three versus you. No, it’s I’m better. I’m better. I’m better than you. I’m better than you. All NBA allstar allstar other [ __ ] allstar. We can say about teams. No, but but don’t be tripping. Bam. That’s what I’m saying. I ain’t trying to I’m just saying the boy. He going He going to a team where they want to. They You got dudes that’s trying to make a name for themselves, right? So, let’s get it up. Yeah. Yeah. I get what you like. I got it. Slow down, young fella. What did Kawhai tell you? Sit in that corner. Go sit in the corner. I’ve seen Tyler Herro shoot a three off of what? With with nobody down there. So, I’m so I’m sure he’s going to be able to get a lot of points. Run a down screen. Both of y’all come off and we going to pick. Yeah. I’m just saying if you shoot if you shooting a throw on a fast break by yourself, I know goddamn well I can shoot. Isn’t that Supreme confidence? Hey, Smoke the Well, I just like the way he played last year, so I know he going to bring that to my And Norm is he ain’t no He ain’t no young [ __ ] about to come in and but I like the situation in this year. Norm knows how to put the ball up. The East is down this year. I can get him up. I can show y’all what I can do. Over here. Is that what Tyler over here, man? Tyler as that about Wiggins. Who the new [ __ ] You pass him. See? Hey, you see Wiggins over there looking like he taking eight shot? Hey, SP Wig don’t care. We got the worst. Yeah, man. They going to be all right. It is going to be all right. said Miami is going to be all right next year. They’re making the playoffs. All right, let me ask you a question. All right. If you were free, are you on your free This is a free agent year, right? Final year of his deal. Final year deal. You want to be a free agent on a team that How many games Kawhi played last year? Uh 37. 37. A dude the the star playing 37 games only. And then the second star want to be a passer. You want to be the star there or do you want to be a star where how many people trying to get paid over there now? Tyler Hero, you already got paid, right? Hero trying to be the star. He want to show that he is Jimmy Butler. Bam already got you got Bam who’s trying to still make a name for himself and you got Wiggins trying to prove that he was. So you got three people that’s still trying to prove himself. Do you want to be a free agent trying to fit in there or I think Hero Extension eligible or locked up or guarantee the number one guy that you was getting ball like if I’m if I’m him I want to be as a free agent. Am I Am I saying what I’m saying? I’d rather be a free agent in the Clippers than over there in Miami. It could get nasty in South Beach. A lot of dudes trying to get bread. Everybody trying to get that starting in Miami. What are you talking I’m not I’m not coming out to LA. I can play this one year talking and I’m gone.

Uh, so Clippers been active this off seasonason, resigning James Harden with a two-year deal, landing Brook Lopez in free agency. Now they add an athletic big that can stretch the floor. So Collins averaged 19 points, eight rebounds in 40 games for the Jazz last season. Oh man. Got 53% from the field, 40% from three. Uh, Clippers still have some bread left to add another guard with reports the team is looking to reunite with Chris Paul. But what does John Collins bring to this Clipper squad? He ain’t bringing [ __ ] A body. A body. No, man. Cuz he was supposed to be a Laker, man. I thought I thought Rudy connect ass was gone, man. He was He was, man.

Damn. How much you need? We got everybody. This is a Clipper segment. I’m talking about the Lakers though. Okay. I’m I’m aware you want to for sure. We got We are We are currently focused. So you like fighting for your fish. You just want to guarantee. I just want I like that. I want the lobster already pulled out, man. Go ahead. Cook that for me, boss man. The lobster already. Okay. Damn. But it make room for Ace Bailey, right? Start and get his The Jazz have made some moves as well. But currently talking about the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference. If Kawhi go down, who who do they have? Yeah, they messed up to me. Like who do they have at that? They should have never got like who’s their other like score? I think they got James Harden can shift back into a scoring role. Who they got? I’m trying to think. Right. Who do they have? Zubac 16. They got Boggy Boggy. Boggy Boggy. Oh yeah. Not a Boggy Boggy. He got a feeling like they got a feeling 24. Yeah, he does. Yeah, he does have a team option. Huh? Next summer. Clippers might be good. Donovan. I mean, they’re gonna be I mean, they gonna be solid. I mean, he got a team option. You ain’t going nowhere, boy. Yeah. I mean, I listen they’re gonna be good. I mean, you know, I’m just You think so? I mean, I just look at it like I think like I got to put Kawawaii at least 60 something games. Yeah, he got to play 60 something. I’m talking about Zub. That means 30 games. Derrick Jones, Brook Lopez. Oh, they got Brook Lopez, too. So, it’s Brooke. Damn. Think Batum. Chris Dun still there. Chris Batum. Is this lowkey looking like a James Harden team? Well, it might. Yeah. Oh, no. No. the best ability is a better when you’re talking about pick and rolls, lobs, when you’re talking about that type of movement, it seem like it’s more designed for him than it is. Listen, I think the Clippers going to be fighting that eighth ninth spot. You got him that low. If it look if it look like if they stay like this. Yeah, they true. They need to change. They need to change for sure. Like cuz if you cuz if you depending on Kawad to play 60 games, I think he must look good to them. Kawad, he got to look healthy. I hope. No, I hope so. I hope so. I hope so. I hope so. It don’t make sense though. That’s what I was gonna ask you. Given Kawawaii’s injury issues, only played 37 games last season, was available for the playoffs. What’s the offense for the Clippers? With with with a healthy Kawawaii like do you play around him? Yeah. Cuz you bring in what you just said, like you bring in those two bigs to play with James a spacer and a and a duck in. You got they got B. I guess you going to put Boggy By as a shooter. He’s a shooter in the corner. So now you got Kawawaii is all I iso elbows boxes. What are we doing here? Yeah. How are we moving that? Yeah. How we how we Collins playing messed him up though last year. Last year. Yeah. So they going are they going ultra big. I’m sure they can utilize that lineup at times. I think Collins cuz John is a runner. He’s a runner for So Lopez is for sure coming off the bench. Well, yeah. I would zupac was almost all star. That’s what I’m saying. like Zupac is not. That’s what I’m saying. Like you don’t see them going both bigs at the same time with Collins, Kawawaii, and James Harden. That’s a possibility. That’s fine. But like that’s too big though. Play zone. Also got Derek. Remember came off the bench. He played the zone. Yeah, but where it’s hard to pick and roll out. He didn’t fit in the playoff. He didn’t fit three. Couldn’t find his way no more. because it went away from him. It was going away from him being a It went back to goddamn Kawhai. So Colin started 31 of the 40 games he played last season in Utah with the Jazz start. Okay. So yeah, they going to have to start him at the F. And Kawhai had a good playoff. Brook got to come off the bench. He Kawhai he did not he didn’t miss no games right out of all seven and was balling. Damn. If I’m the Clippers, I’m throwing that [ __ ] down there to Brooke. I’m telling Brooke to go to work. Him and Zubac down there. You could play them [ __ ] You start Brook would also could be some potential options uh opening up in the near future. Chris Paul available. Bradley Bill may be available. Oh, shortly. I’m just saying. Relax, bro. You already know. Relax, bro. You know what? You know what Bill’s coming, man. They know. I don’t think J about to get on. Better not look everything. We need it all. Look, Clippers want Lakers want it all. When you remember when KD went you when Katie went to Golden State, I want the 98% right. I need We need it all. Unless we do something to ourselves, we going to lose. Let somebody get hurt. That’s the only way we lose. Why? That ain’t wood. It is not wood. He tried. He tried hard. That ain’t wood, brother. No, you’re not getting build. Since you guys keep talking about the Lakers, I guess we will talk about them in the show. Did not have plans for
