Alo Saros from his crib. We in here. Let’s go. Final overreactions of the summer. Al, how you feel? Let’s go. 9188. Well, at least they gave us a game, CP. Yeah, they did. Go ahead. You know, I wish they got the win. Yeah, but hey, somehow the Pacers have our numbers. You thought Kok was going to go into his Brunson bag. He did for a little bit. You know, that step back was pretty nice. That behind the back step back was pretty lethal. Yeah. looked a little looked all reminiscent of of of our one the captain captain clutch. Yeah. Down the stretch. But then uh you know Bo Champ got a little cold from three. Co couldn’t couldn’t help close it out and we got to look at uh Knicks lost to the Pacers yet again. Yeah. You already talked about, you know, man, I I was trying to will will our Warriors to victory, man. I was calling out the plays. I’m barking out defense, you know, imploring our guys to talk out there. They were letting their guard down a little bit. you know, I was I was right there, you know, we were right there on the court, but so the Pacers were shooting on our end. So, I was trying to get our guys was trying to be the sixman, if you will, and try to will us to victory. And they were, you know, they were getting the stops in the end. They came back, you know, to all all things being considered, they they came out into the fourth quarter, I think they were down by about maybe 12. What was the fourth quarter? They down by 11. Oh, sorry, nine points going into the fourth. So, they had a valiant comeback led by their defense, but as you said, Marjon got a little bit cold. Tyler had a a boneheaded play where on the inbound in the in that little coffin corner there on the inbound, the pacer defender touches it and Tyler grabs the ball, steps steps on the on the end line, the baseline there. So, that was a little untimely, but then he bounced back with the nice offensive move. And then in the end, uh, they allowed the Pacers to get just a little too many second chance opportunities. Couldn’t box out on the on the free throws, and the Pacers were able to scrap their way to the the final victory, man. 91 to 88. Uh, I did like Bo Champ’s game. Bo Champ had his final two games were very good. 28 points for him, 10 of 16 from the field, went six of 11 from downtown. knock down a couple threes in a row. So, I really like Bo Champ’s game. I hope he does get slotted in for one of the three two-way deals that they that they have. And we saw a little bit better play from Tyler Kick. 14 points, five assists for Tyler. Five turnovers. Got to cut down the turnovers. There too many turnovers this summer for Tyler, but he would go six to 15 from the field. Your thoughts? Yeah, I like the I thought Bo Champ finished off the summer league pretty strong. You know, game one, we talked about how he had slow start, but pretty solid numbers. Uh game two wasn’t so great. Game three had a good second and efficient second half. Today, you know, you don’t have most of the guys out there, so he’s able to get into a full rhythm. And then Cole coming on late as well. I mean, look, at the end of the day, we can talk about how good these guys are, CP, and what they showed today on the court, but ultimately what it comes down to, who is going to make, as you noted, the last three-way, two-way roster spots. And look, the Knicks have 12 players right now under contract. You know, they can have up to 15, depending on how they want to work the money. They still have, I believe, a rookie contract to give out as well. So, bigger question is who’s going to get that last rookie? Who’s going to get the rookie contract and who’s going to be on the uh three two-ways? What are your thoughts there? Yeah, right now I would I would give McCulla’s the rookie deal and then I would go Marjon, Dawara, and probably Naji on the two on the three two-ways. That’s where I would go. Now, maybe I thought Watson Watson was pretty decent today. You know, he missed a couple of bunnies, but I thought that the poster he had was was was nice. That had us up on our feet. That was entertaining. So, Watson was on a two-way with the team last year. You know, we’ll see what how they evaluated him. Mike Brown was right there by the bench and so was uh Mark Bryant. Uh uh Brock was behind us. Brock was there for a little bit tapping in. So, they still had some of the leadership there. Gerson Rosas was there on the baseline. So, we’ll see how they evaluate them. Maybe Watson gets one of the two ways. But given the uncertainty in terms of the center, the future of the center, I, you know, I don’t want to speak ill because blockchess is my guy. But who knows where they’re going to go in terms of contract extensions. I think with him that they will play it out and have him hit free agency and then see where it goes from there. But, you know, you have Hucky who’s going to be guaranteed backup minutes. Maybe they bring Naji in for development two-way, but the Awara definitely has to has to be on a two-way. If if they don’t send him back to France, he’s got to be on the two-way. He’s very intriguing. Interesting that you put McCulla on the rookie contract and Dawara on the two-way. Um, what’s your thought process behind that one? Because I feel like I mean, they drafted Dior, you know, McCulla, you know, came up through the two-way. You can still keep him down there, right? What’s your thought process there? Yeah, it just seems like Dawara is still more of a developmental prospect. So, he can I mean, not saying that McCulla is polished by any stretch. I’m just saying just in his second year, maybe they give him that rookie man and and have him slotted down on the bench. But, Dawaro, you can see the areas, especially offensively, where he needs to work on his game. So, I just figure maybe they have him spend a lot of time in Westchester, the systems are going to be the same. So you have him kind of in a lower pressure situation than just collecting dust on the bench with with the main ball club. Doesn’t doesn’t mean doesn’t mean if he’s on the rookie contract that he can’t go to to Westchester cuz Tyler did. He can still go to Westchester. But I’m just thinking maybe they have been more on the developmental side like they had that like McCull did last year rather than up with the with the main club where he’s most likely not going to get playing time anyway. Gotcha. No, that makes sense. That makes that makes a lot of sense. I’m just curious cuz and it might be just doing a McCulla a solid two even though he missed the entire last season. He was on a two-way and you know sometimes you just give that guy hey here’s a little bump in salary after going through the process. He showed out a little bit. Yeah. And look at the end of the day the last rookie the last rookie contract isn’t going to be much. I don’t expect him to get much playing time unless there’s some serious garbage minutes. And he too like you said for uh for Kolick he can still go down to the G- League and still work on his game. I like at the end of the day I do agree with like the selections of Diwara Naji. Um again the two-way contracts. Who was the last guy that you said? Get the third one. Uh Dawara Naji and I would give the other one to who did I say? Who did I just say? What did I just say? Is it McCull of the Bo? Bo Champ. Bo Champ. Yeah, definitely Bo Champ. I give Bo Champ the other two way. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I think he’s solid. I like his game. and you know how how much better are you going to get right now? I think he’s worth a look for a team that could use more depth on the wing and more athleticism. You know, it’s not to say that he dominated, but but he looked good and and the hope is that playing with the big boys, he’ll be able to slot in and they’ll make him better for sure. And I think out of all those guys were the only guys that really showed out anything that you would really want to bring them over to the team just to continue to work on their development at the end of the day. That’s the biggest qu that’s the biggest thing when you go look at summer league, right? Who are the guys you want to invest in moving forward? But I’m going to tell you this right now, man. Dawara, put me in that hive right now, man. There is something there. I am very intrigued and I hope he does get some minutes during this regular season just because the intangibles are there. I really like what he showed. I know he didn’t score the ball well, right? But for what he does on the court, I’m just thinking of the future, man. I talked about this with Jeff on the last post game. It’s like, could you imagine if he just develops just to be a solid rotational player and just gives you that defensive intensity that you need? his recovery speed, all of those things are much necessary for a team that in today’s NBA, you got to think about wing depth. And then he is just multi-positional, man. And I think that’s the other thing, too. But just for the little bit that I saw in summer league, I think that’s a lot of stuff there’s that’s translatable to the league. I’m not saying he’s going to be this dominant guy, but that you could put me in the hive right there, man. And he definitely two-way. Al is jumping out the window. Dawara Hive, you are starting it. I’m calling it right now on the finale of summer league. You’re starting the diara. Call me the president. I’m the president. I’m the president of the hive right now. Right. Okay. There. There we go. Ladies and gentlemen, Al with the overreactions all the way out the window. Rate that take in the chat. One being trash, five being facts. And who do you guys think in the chat should get the three two-ways and the rookie deal for the Knicks? Now, the Knicks also have uh the Vetmin. One more vetman to dole out. A couple of names that have been thrown out there. Ben Simmons, Landry Shamat, some people like Marcus Mah. Did Marcus M get bought out yet? Was that confirmed? I I did not hear that. I I didn’t I did not I did not see that come across my timeline. I know Bradley Beal did get bought out and he’s going to the Clippers. Yes, Bradley Bradley’s out of there. We’re still waiting on the bio for Marcus Smart. Uh Yeah, they’re still we’re still waiting on the buyout market for uh Marcus Smart. Okay. Got got you. Got you there. So, you know, I’m hearing the Simmons thing is more kind of kicking the tires, but they’re not exactly serious at the moment about Simmons. So, maybe it’s a shamut, but I I really think they got to prioritize a backup point, man. I really do think they they got to prioritize a backup point. I think so. Let me ask so I guess this is this is going to be my next question. After Kix’s pro two last two games, these performances which were much better than the first two games, right? Did his performance these last two games give you confidence that you should trot him out there during the regular season and see if he could be a sufficient backup point guard? Because I think the argument is the way that the defense was played in those first two games, the physicality will not necessarily be the same way that it’s played throughout all 82 games of the regular season. So, he may not have to experience the peppering of just constant physicality throughout all those minutes. And again, second unit players, are they really going to be doing that? I think that’s the argument. So, where do you stand on that? I wouldn’t trust it. I think it needs work. He’s still got to work on his defense. The again, it’s summer league. It’s only summer league, so the turnovers is like, ah. But I just they need a vet, man. God forbid cap goes down for an extended period of time. Then you’re looking at forcing Deuce or Clarkson to run the point. That could get a little bit dicey. So, I would use that last vet on either Brogden or Smart. I know it’s not the the most most athletic, but you you’re talking about scrap heat players here. This is what they’re working with in terms of the caliber of player that they can get. Yeah. You know, so then with Yeah. And look, I’d still, you know, I’d still put him in as a third string and maybe he gets some more situational minutes, but he need he needs more work. Definitely needs some more work. Um I like the way that he ended the summer leagues though. I like the way that he ended summer league, but it’s still a little like eh. Like I still wanted more. I feel like if he had really good games against those against Boston, against Detroit, I can walk away being a little bit more confident saying no matter what’s thrown his way that he can handle that backup position because you don’t even really need him to be that much of a score, right? You just need him to be a guy that can steady the ship, get guys in position because as we saw Bridges, uh, OG to a certain extent, Cat, those guys will be able to get you points. Just set them up. Bridges, he could set himself up. You’re going to have Jordan Clarkson coming off the bench so he can find guys he can get his own get his own points. You just need somebody who can steady the ship just in case. As we’ve seen, man, look, it’s the NB, it’s the new age NBA. Guys are going to miss time regardless, right? But this is kind of where I was like, “Yeah, like, yeah, give me Malcolm Brogden, man.” Because that guy, he could play both the one or the two. He could be out there with Brunson, make him play off ball. You know, you had a great conversation with Mark Jones. And you you mentioned you guys talked about how you’d like to see Jaylen Brunson off ball a little bit more, man. Not have the pressure on him so much. Yeah. I feel like you can get that. And and you know what? And and we’re going to we’re going to do this um we’re going to do this one in another episode of Worst Take. Maybe we’ll do that tomorrow. just just to spread the content out. You know, the offball conversation has been shared by many man. Did you hear the the clip from BD from Baron Davis? I did. Who talked about it, Mark Jones? Like getting Cap off the ball a little bit and utilizing him in more catch and shoot sec situations. I think it’s it’s going to bode well for the team for sure. where he where he doesn’t have to exert so much energy with the ball in his hands and milk the clock and things of that nature. I think that to mix it up offensively and getting him involved in other ways is going to really help this offense. I don’t remember what year it was and I feel like it might have been going into I don’t know if it was this season or the season prior too, but we had that we had this conversation on, you know, what’s the next step for Jaylen Brunson to take and it’s like skill-wise there’s not really anything to do. But I always mentioned, you know, when you watch Steph Curry, Steph Curry was on ball heavily in Golden State when they won the championship that first year. And what really separated him to becoming that mega superstar was his ability to work off ball, allow guys like Andre Igodala, uh Shawn Livingston, right? Guys who can control the rock and help set him up because you needed him not to work so hard for his scoring. So it makes sense, man. We’ve seen that for a lot of star players that need to be off ball. I mean, look, even for a guy like Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown, when you think about wings, right? Or even when you think about Kawhi Leonard, any any superstar that you want on ball a lot just because they can create their shot and they can be good facilitators, you also want them off ball so you can make life a little bit easier for them because as you point out, how many times we just watch Jaylen Brunson in the postseason just have to work three times as hard. Even those games that we’re winning like by the skin of our teeth, man, that that run that he had before he got injured. Like think about that game against the Lakers where he dropped what, 36? Yeah. It was like, all right, is anyone else going to step up and help? Yeah. No, it’s just going to be Jaylen Brunson. Cool. So, we’re going to extend him, you know, expend him like this much. And then next thing you know, he gets injured. And that’s the thing when you expend guys that much, too, right? Is that there is I mean, there’s always a possibility of injury for anything. But the more that they have to work, I feel like the likelihood just increases. That that’s a fact, man. So, um, very interesting, um, topic indeed. And you know there somebody in the chat mentioned another uh potentially in intriguing prospect at at the guard spot that they want to see but not likely. And I’m going to talk about him right after this. But I want to support salute one of our sponsors of today’s show. As I said, SeatGeek, use our code KFTV10 for 10% off your tickets.

We’ll talk about that another time. But when you look on SeatGeek, look for the green dots. Green means good to great deals to amazing deals and red those are the bad deals. Stay away from those unless you’re truly desperate. All right. So use seatgeeek.com or use a seatgeeek app. Tell them CP the franchise and good people to KFTV sent you in. Yeah. Well, here’s something from uh according to Steve Puper and his latest article. Okay. Says league sources indicating Ben Simmons is a long shot for the Knicks. Hey, I’m just saying, man. I’m not saying you’re tapped in, bro. You’re tapped in. Hey, you know that that’s that’s that. Okay. So, that’s that with with Ben Simmons. Now, somebody in the chat had mentioned uh Roas. So, now, funny story with that. I’m in the gym a couple days ago and uh a gentleman with a uh Makabi Tel Aviv gear on, you know, we’re chopping it up and uh Roas’s right-hand man works for he works for Tel Aviv. Roas a point guard for Tel Aviv. So, we were just chopping it up and we were just talking about, you know, the prospects of him coming over. But again, I don’t know what what the Knicks interest would have been in bringing him over. He did come to summer league last year. It was h was all right in summer league, but over in Europe over over at McCabe, he’s the man. So the question is like why would he want to come here to get 10 12 minutes a night when when you’re the guy over there with Makabi Tel Aviv, he was with Barcelona, like every stop that he’s gone to over there, he’s had tremendous success. So that that it just does not seem like an ideal situation for him. And who knows what the Knicks interest level would have been with him either. So not really a viable candidate. Okay. CP out here saying do not expect Roas Yokabitas. Yeah. Yeah. No to be coming through. Roas is not coming through that door. So then what’s the answer CP? What do you know? Well I you know I hope I don’t I want to see what the Brogden situation is looking like. Things are in a holding pattern. People mentioned CP3. I don’t think that’s realistic. I think he goes to the Clippers. He he’s long wanted to stay out west. It’s either the Clippers or the Suns. CP3 is not coming east when he’s got his whole he’s got his family out west and this is his final year of his career. About to say there’s no way you’re uprooting your family from the West Coast just to come to the Knicks. Nah, Fischer Hunter is smart any day over Brogden. I’ll take either one. Beggars can’t be choosers at the moment, but they need they need a solid vet at the at the backup point, you know. What do you guys think in the chat, man? Throw some names in the chat. Let us know what you guys think. Somebody said, well, John Toenzo said wait on smart. Yeah, wait. Wait on. Wait on smart. Chris Middleton and Chris Middleton’s not going to be available. How about Dame, man? You see Dame went back home. I did. Dame was not expecting that to drop today. That Yeah, that was a bit of a surprise. Like kind of a surprise, but kind of like understandable in in the grand scheme of things. You know, Dame said, you love Portland. You love it. I think it’s Would you do that? Would you Would you go back if someone did you did you like that? Well, I think it’s another family thing as well. It’s It’s another family thing that without, you know, the addition on addition on on his on his business. From what I’ve what I’ve heard, it’s another family decision. Plus being Mr. Portland, he he went back home, man. They he bailed on he bailed on the championship dream. Did he bail or did the Bucks bail on him because, you know, he was bought out. That is true. That is true. The Bucks did bail on him and our students at SBC had a chance to interview John Horse, the the GM of the Bucks. We we had a chance to go go backstage and interview John Horse yesterday after the game. So, interesting business, man. So, now you have Drew Holiday and Dame who were traded for each other now on the same team. Well, Dame’s going to miss some time, right? You’re gonna have Drew out there. Yeah. I don’t even know what to think about that team. Although, they do have some interesting prospects, especially at the center position, but the team is just I don’t know, man. Yeah. I mean, it’s just it’s a year it’s a year-long wait to see what actually happens. Could Dame even recover and be half of who he was? Because I feel like if you even get that, that’s that’s still a good leader for a young team to help those guys develop. Yeah, that’s right. That’s right, man.

Summer league is we’ve been leveling up during summer league every year and just getting to work with these students, aspiring media broadcast students. It’s great. I I did another the first panel I do on Monday is uh on building a brand. So using the the KFTV journey as an example and some of the keys to to building a brand. And we did put last year’s presentation up on the channel. We’ll be putting this year’s presentation up in just a little bit. And then today I did presented a a a um a session on just tools, tips and tricks for content creators. are some of the tools that can help these aspiring creators get off the ground whether it’s free, whether it’s paid. So, just giving back, man. You know, you got you got to drop the jewels for the next generation to pick up and and run with it, you know? Absolutely, man. Absolutely. Yeah. What’s been your takeaway or what’s been your experience doing that so far? Like, this is going to be your second year doing uh sports business class, is it not? Yeah, it’s it’s phenomenal, man. You know, I I I was on the way Monday like riding to the stadium. It’s like, yo, to be able to do this like and to be able to work with like, yo, Ja Ade, man, it’s the DE from J and D. You we’re on the same team and Howard Beck. And this year we had Mike Fello on the team, the Zar. Wow. We we we had the students on set with the Zar yesterday because the students get to practice on the podcast set. So we had Mike Fatello, Mark Jones came, our guy Ryan Mcdana a friend of the program. So they help be be guests for the students and then they give we critique them, we give them the feedback. So all of a sudden the Zar Mike Fellow right after we get done with the session, it’s me, him, and Howard Beck and he just drops a story about like one of his first telecast that he did working with Bill Russell and and and Rick Barry, you know what I mean? So he’s just telling stories like he got stories for days, you know that. So, you know, ju just just being in that circle and listening to the Zar. This is the guy who used to grow up NBA on NBC. You’re watching him and Marv and now he’s here. He’s he’s with us and working together, man. So, like that that type of stuff, man. I just don’t take for granted. It’s uh it’s it’s a humbling experience for sure. And to kind of just be in those circles giving back, man, it’s a lot of fun. Definitely a lot of fun. I’ll tell you one person I had a great conversation with yesterday. Who was it? Rowan Barrett, senior, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Had a great great conversation, man. We had a great conversation. Uh we was just chopping it up with RJ, man, and just just, you know, kind of just going through his journey and and his uh his improvement because because he certainly has improved, but you know, it it was it was great to um speak to him and really share condolences, man, because they went through a a tragedy that that is just uh it really hurt to hear, man, because when when we were going to the games and seeing RJ and how he interacts with the they’re very close-knit family, you know, Jamaican family like us, bro. So, that’s that’s another reason why, you know, very very uh near and dear to my heart. So, just seeing him being able to pick him up and and share uh condolences, I I really wanted to do that. But then we had a good good conversation and um and you know, he ended it with kind of just thanking us for for supporting Broadway dur during his New York years, man. So, that it was a good conversation, man. Definitely a good combo. That’s awesome, bro. Yeah. get to see family who is supporting the channel, which is always awesome to see and awesome to hear. And just it just shows you how big this community has grown outside of just the fan base, man. I mean, families, as you talked about, you met Tib’s brother who tunes in. You talked to OG’s brother during the regular season who tunes in as well. And I think, you know, it’s just um it’s awesome where they appreciate the channel because it’s not easy getting up here and then breaking down the game. And you know, look, they’re they’re not going to have great nights every single night, man. They’re not going to be great every single night. And we got to be fair. We got to be honest on how, you know, their performance was. And the fact that they can come back and say, “Hey, I appreciate what you do and how you break down the game and how you helped the like helped, you know, cuz look, we know these guys tap in as well.” Yeah. Yeah. And I think to get that from the family members as well, that’s huge and just a big it’s a big you should feel very proud, CB, because that’s it’s big to saying the brand that you created once again where family members can tune in and be like, “All right, what’s the honest opinion where I’m not going to get crazy wild hot takes flying left and right?” Yeah, we’ll have the hot takes here and there, but yo, man, shout out to you for where you get to see family members and they’re dapping you up and giving you your praises. It’s respected, you know. it it’s respected and and that’s why we keep it tight in terms of and that’s another thing I was talking to the students about like keep it tight in terms of who who you bring into your space man you know what I mean so to have you and CK JD and everybody you know Jeff and all everybody representing the brand it’s it’s intentional can’t just be you know willy-nilly just laying it out there for anybody you know what I mean course man yeah so so it is good man it is respected but yeah other than that And it’s uh it’s been a fantastic time. Saw Zack Low as well yesterday. Um and you know, summer league, everybody’s out here. Every everybody comes out here. So, it’s a great place to to get further immersed into the game, and that’s what we’ve been able to do here during the summer, you know. It’s fun, man. I wish I could have stayed out a little bit longer. Wish I could have for sure. Uh let’s go to the phones, man. Hear what the people got to say. Let’s go to Truth on the Discord. Truth, are you there? the truth going once. Do we have the truth? Okay. All right. We We’ll let him uh figure things out on the Discord. Al, how did you like um Dink Pate? How did you like Dink’s game today? Dink Dink had I thought he had a solid game today. I I I agree. I think he had a solid floor game. He didn’t force anything. He played within the system. That’s the first thing I said when we came on the show, seeing game one, I was like, “Yo, don’t be like the next Cam Reddish. We need you just to play in the flow of the system. I talked I talked about with Jeff though yesterday. I said for him he’s a guy that needs to be in the G-League truly not a G-League Ignite team, not the Capitan. All right. I’m talking about being part of like the Knicks GLeague team. And I understand that they wouldn’t have the rights to him, but I feel like he needs to be in a system that has a system, you know, because I feel like a lot of the guys that come out of G-League Ignite team, they’re like all over the place, man. And it’s like a lot of them are just like trying to show off their skills saying, “Hey, I belong in the NBA, they’re looking to get drafted.” Yeah. But it doesn’t feel like where you look at other teams that really work a farm system like the Raptors, when you think about Pascal Seakum and how he came up through that system or even when you look at Alex Caruso who came up through the Thunder’s G-League system and where they could be in the NBA. I feel like he needs to go to a team like that that’s looking to help him develop because there’s something there, man. There definitely is something there. I don’t want to I don’t want to say he doesn’t have talent because he does have talent, but it’s just you you got to go to a place that can help you put it all together and have that right guidance, man. I don’t think he had that out in for on the G- League Ignite and I just think he needs that. I understand the risk that you may lose him, but I feel like he does he does he does have some he would have a good opportunity if he just goes with an actual G-League team. I I agree with you. There definitely is something there, right? you could see like his game needs a little bit little bit of refinement, but as MJ said in the chat, I I think he does have some upside, man. He he definitely does. And as Summer League kept going on, he he got more and more comfortable with the team because I I think also we have to we have to understand that outside of Kick and Huck and McCull, these guys are all new. you coming together for four quick games, no chemistry, new system, new coaching staff, new coaching staff. So, everything is just kind of just like thrown at you. And that’s after cuz cuz we had an agent on set yesterday who who kind of explained it why, you know, some of these guys get shut down. And it’s like, yo, they just came off of a whirlwind circuit of working out for some for damn near every team like they did. So, you’re burnt out. And so that’s why a lot of the top guys get shut down because they don’t want to they they want to load manage correctly because these guys have been going hard like the last month in the draft process. And then you get chucked in the summer league, new teammates, new system, and you going up against some guys who this is a Bo Champ who’s in his third, fourth year trying to make it. It’s a doggy dog atmosphere out there, man. Would would any part of you can reconsider if you had to give Bo Champ the last one of the two ways? Would you ever consider giving it to Pate instead? Because I feel like that’s the only other guy I would give him the two-way to just because maybe you don’t want to lose him. You do want him on the two-way deal. Now, if you do that, he pro he would I don’t think he would get any real time with the big team. He would stay down in the G- League, but it’s that security saying, you know, we really do like what you have there. Maybe maybe we believe a little bit more in you that you could become something and we don’t want to lose the rights to you. Yeah, I look at Bo Champ as a guy who could potentially get rotation minutes in a pinch or if somebody gets injured. So, if that’s the case, then I give it to Peyton and, you know, take take Naji’s two-way, you know what I mean? I I I agree with you. I’d like to keep him in the system and see how he does because he’s so young. He’s only 19. That’s the thing, too, man. 19, man. This is like the game where especially if you think about this is where it really gets down to like feeling like fantasy football a little bit where you can only roster so many players, right? Right. And you got like all right, who I’m going to leave on the waiver because I don’t believe they won’t they will be swiped up the next day. That’s where you’re like playing the game with like Anagi, right? Or Payton. It’s like who do you actually believe in that can stay around? Now you would probably know better than me. Would Naji go back to being a drafting stash if he doesn’t come through or how does that work? Good point. I’m not sure cuz if he’s another drafting stash, maybe you just keep him overseas and be like, “All right, we’ll use it on PE so that way we don’t lose him too.” That’s the other thought process. Yeah. I’m not I’m not quite sure to be to be honest with you because it could be a situation where they may have to buy him out of of I don’t know if he’s still under contract with is he where is he with Barcelona? I don’t remember. Um but if if that’s a situation where they would have to buy him out first and then bring him on to the team. So, just like just like how Roas comes over to play summer league and then he goes back because they don’t have a a standard contract for him. I think Naji’s the same way. If he doesn’t get the rookie deal or he doesn’t get the two-way, then yeah, I would think that they still maintain his draft rights and he would um then he would go back overseas, but I would have to double check on that. Okay. Yeah, I’m trying I’m doing some research right now because he was with I don’t know if he’s still with but Barcelona was a team. I’m just trying to figure out if Barcelona still has his contract rights because if he if he does then no need to buy him out yet. Yeah. Although I will say he’s another guy that’s intriguing man just because the physicality he brings up the five Naji. Yeah he is. He is offense needs a little work but he is he he’s definitely a more physical player. So yeah I but I was I was looking for Dink to finish the game man. Coach Coach Brink went with with uh with the Tokyo Drift and I was like, “Yo, we we need we need Dink in the game, man. We need a Dinkx all we need Dinks offense.” Yeah, but he went he we went with Tokyo Drift. He he didn’t really give us much, you know. Yeah. It’s just, you know, I started the channel asking like, you know what, man? Let’s give the people what they want. Let them see what he looks like. Yeah. So, uh Baba had some okay minutes, man. It was okay. He was all right. He was all right. But, you know, I’ I’d rather the athleticism with with uh with Dink, you just never know, especially when they need a little bucket late and Tyler got the inbound with four seconds left and kind of just chucked it. We didn’t really need that. That was like a summer league. We don’t need that. I said it kind of under my breath. You know what I’m saying? It’s a light. We don’t need that. It was a light That was a light one. Yeah. But I I tried to will us to victory. I was, you know, imploring our guys. Come on, White. Let’s go. You know, that type of thing. I was into I was into it. I was into it in crunch time. Dude, I mean, they tied the game. You’re like, “Oh, wow.” Part of me was like, “Are we really about to get the last game into OT?” Yeah. Game going to OT. That would have been that been nuts. Yeah. Be wifey were cheering, man. We were going in. Um, but uh yeah, they just fell a little bit short. You know who I did like? He he he doesn’t really have any type of future with the team, but I was watching the kid from like his second game on. I like how he scraps and how he runs the offense. The kid uh bails and he got hurt. He went down right in front of us, man. He had it looked like he had a bad knee injury. I felt bad for him, but um yeah, just just in watching him compete, he scraps. He He scraps, man. You know, so I don’t I don’t know what the future holds for him, whether it’s in overseas or in Westchester, but um yeah, I like how he fights out there, man. For sure. This just goes to the conversation you had with uh Mark Jones yesterday where it’s like, “Yo, let’s get two more teams in here, man. There’s a lot of talented guys out there.” Yeah. Cuz even if you say, “Hey, you know, maybe I like Grant.” Like I I like Grant, especially the first two games, the way Col was playing, it’s like, “Okay, this guy is tough. He’s gritty. Uh feisty, he’s not going to shy away from the contact.” I do like that. Is he a starter in the league? No. But could you use him on the bench in the in a pinch? Maybe. I don’t know. Maybe if he gets a little more time to work and that’s where you say, “Hey, you get two more teams in here, you get to have more talent uh in the league.” This is true. True indeed, man. to everybody in the chat once again. CP and Alex in the building. The summer league finale. Summer League Knicks failed to make the playoffs and they lose to the Pacers, man. 91 to 88. They really put us on a mini revenge tour, man. Yeah, they did. The Nets. They put they put us against every single playoff team we had to face. Every rival. The Nets, the Celtics, Detroit, and the I knew what they were doing. That was very interesting. And how dare they put the last game in the Thomas and Max Center. Yeah, we we were in the annex for the for that. Even though I I do I do like Cox Pavilion better, though. Really? Yeah. Absolutely. What? Okay, man. Why do you like it better than than that? It’s it’s I It’s more summerly. It’s more summerly vibes, right? And like you’re more on top of the court, so like the fans really get into it. You could you could hear more of the fans. You could hear the trash talk. I like the Cox Pavilion a lot better, honestly. Oh my goodness gracious. Yeah, Thomas and Mack is is better for like the marquee matchups, but once you get like like Bron Bronnie has been straight Thomas and Mack. They don’t put Lakers in the Cox Pavilion. They know Well, they know what they’re doing. It’s LeBron James son. You know, look, they had Cooper Flag and Bronny go against You knew what was going to happen, where that was going. Bronnie is still carrying the summer league banner. He’s still going and they’re playing the Celtics tonight. So they don’t leave Thomas and Matt. But yeah, this year I think it was just the also based on like the competing games where you had other lottery picks like for example they had one of the Nick games was on when they had like Utah versus Charlotte. So you had Canopil versus Ace Bailey and and and Clayton Jr. So those guys are going to get the uh the the the preference in terms of the gym. But yeah, we had we had three games in the Cox Pavilion, lost two, 1-1. That’s it. I like I The pavilion’s nice, but man, to me, man, it’s just a level of respect to be in the MAC. You know what I mean? It’s like and as you said, it’s going to be reserved for the marquee uh top draft picks, right? Yeah, you’re going to get Ace Bailey, you’re going to get Cooper Flag, you know, you’re going to get all these guys in that arena because you want to make sure that you can fill up the seats so that everybody can watch them. I get that. Yeah. But for me, it’s also like, yo, get I want the respect to be in there, too, because there is a level of respect to be in that gym, man. No, I that that’s that’s also what I want. I do like the Mac uh more than the pavilion just because I feel ju the other thing is this, you got to wait in line, man. Like you gotta wait just to like and they cut you off. They’re like, “All right, not yet. Not yet. You gotta wait. Now you get to come through.” All right. Stop. Stop. Stop. Now you come through. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. Well, got we got to get you a badge next year, man. You know, we got to we got to get you one of those, man. Um, let’s go to the phones, man. Christopher Blake, are you there on the Discord? Do we have Christopher Blake? Oh, CP. Peace. Peace. Peace. Locked in. Big trass in the building. Oh, man. Man, how y’all feeling today? Good, man. How you feel, bro? Good to hear from you. You know, I I can’t complain. You know, I man, I got to give y’all y flowers. I appreciate y’all being out there in summer league, allowing us to see the youth, seeing how they’re progressing. Um, there’s some work to be done, you know what I mean? But, you know, I really didn’t have much stake. These guys are probably not going to play much. We have a contending team. We went and refilled up the the bench. the bench is is is looking like something, you know what I mean? Compared to the scraps and that was thrown under the table last year. So, um I think Pate I I I like the kid. You know, when I look at these young guys, I want to see will you take care of the ball, will you play defense, and will you shoot efficient? There’s not really much more you can ask for. You know what I mean? Um I I like what he brought to the table, and I would like to see more of that. Will that translate to him getting minutes? I don’t know. I I doubt it. But, you know, again, you know, you guys are allowing us to put a microscope to something that we probably wouldn’t really be paying attention to. One thing I got to understand, though, is how all where all the people at? Where were all these these fans that that want the kids to play? Ain’t they supposed to be in here? Ain’t they supposed to be here watching these kids and and promoting these kids? Where they at? Tell them to come out of hiding, man. It’s okay. Where where the callers or or the actual people in attendance at Vegas? Well, well, well, I Hey, Vegas is Vegas. I I wish I could be at Vegas, man. I’m not gonna lie. But I’m talking I’m calling out the callers, bro. The Knicks fan TV callers that that always during the season talking about we want the kids to play. Come on out of hiding, bro. We need the likes. We need this. We need the shares. We need Where y’all at? Y’all have all of this energy for the kids during the season, but y’all don’t be supporting them when they playing in the summer league. Come on out, bro. Come on out, bro. Where y’all at? We here. If you If you not here, you don’t have an opinion during regular season. I don’t want to hear it, bro. I’m calling them out. It’s Chris. Am I wrong? I I you know, I I’m just going to let the people decide, man. Good people in the chat. Rate that take in the chat to one trash. Five being facts. Christopher Blake with a regular season clapback at the chat. He took a shout at the people out. Wow. idea. Yeah. Let me let me let me tell them bring the tomatoes. I’ll roast them for them, bro. Bring it. Bring it on. I want to see y’all. I want to see y’all. If you don’t see these kids play, how do you know they deserve to play? Where y’all at, bro? Come on out of hiding, out of hiding, man. All right, man. Appreciate y’all, man. Of course, you know there’s only one place I’d rather be watching all of this Nick’s content. Y’all always consistent. Y’all brilliant. And man, I love y’all, man. Keep doing y’all thing. Every year y’all get better and better. Yeah. Every year y’all doing something extra. Every year y’all bringing us something different, man. Hey, if you guys need anything, let me know. I’m here for y’all. And one last thing, man. I’m I’m I’m making another push. Uh we just like how y’all Hey, congratulations on winning that title. I need a Knicks fan TV jersey. I will put it up on the merch site. I will buy a Nick Fan TV jersey, bro. Jersey. Hey man. All right. Appreciate y’all, man. Blessings. All right. Christopher Blake, man. Bless up, bro. Christopher Blake on the chat. Al, he tried to get us involved. He he he threw a grenade in the chat and and tried to get us in the trenches with him. I’m surprised he didn’t go to your go-to line. Come on, man. It’s not I know it’s summer league, but I thought you say, “Look, I’m just a conductor here. I thought you were going to go with that.” I am just a conductor, man. You know very well. And it’s summer league, you know. So, I can’t get into it to regular season fall. He tried to throw the grenade and get us in the trenches with him, man. Sheesh. One being trash, five being facts. Good people in the chat. You be the judge. He said, “Where are all the people calling for the kids? How come you ain’t through here during summer?” I mean, not going to I’m not He does have a point, man. Does have a whole point. Can’t Can’t argue with that. Yeah, we’ll we’ll see, man. You know, McCulla’s Mull McCulla got shut down. Dier got injured. That wasn’t ideal. Uh Huck, they said Huck had had injured his knee a little bit in the last game, so he got shut down, but you know, Huck I Huck’s ready to go. I didn’t think I didn’t really need to see I thought he was he was the most prepared for Yeah. The most prepared. Yeah. I felt bad for him because I was like, damn, man. because you could see and and this is the issue sometimes where it’s hard to evaluate players CP because if you’re a role player like Huck like your your impact won’t show if everything else is not clicking but you watch him out there you see him hustling grabbing boards he’s diving yeah defensively he’s he’s the first one back on defense like you can see that he lost weight from after being injured man like he tore his menus came back looks even better he’s in better shape that guy’s ready to go, man. And it’s sad cuz I, like I said, I don’t think we got to see the full-on impact of his game because the rest of the team was struggling. I mean, there was no outside shooting. Guys were struggling just to create for one another. It’s like watching bricks being thrown left and right for some part of the for the summer league. Man, games one and two were tough. It’s tough, man. It is tough. And it, like I said, it’s a dog fight out there, man. You got these dudes out there fighting for their life. So, you know, it gets scrappy. He gets physical and these guys they get tested, you know, don’t don’t sleep. Yeah, we the summer league so you don’t really take too much stock in the score. These guys are fighting. So yeah, if I wish everyone tuned in for like that Knicks Pistons first game because if you watch that game, I was like, am I watching summer league or am I watching like game five of the playoffs because the intensity was dialed up. That’s right. For for sure, man. Uh, salute to everybody in the chat once again.

Okay, check out our people at Wfair. Okay, SDG Nick on the Discord. SDG, how we doing? Doing well. Um, hope you guys are having a good summer so far. Yeah, man. Um, this is it was hot over here today in New York, so you can only imagine what it’s like out there. Yeah. What’s the weather in New York, man? I mean, it hit like 93, but it was pretty humid today. I’m not a fan of the humidity. Um, but uh today’s game, I don’t really have too much to say besides like Marjan looked pretty good. Kolic, I mean, solid. I mean, it’s weird to see him with like the turnovers. I remember, um, during the regular season, he was doing a good job of keeping care of the ball. So, um I mean maybe that’s just because he’s now like, you know, a main focal point for defenses, but would like to see that get better. But one question I mainly had was I saw Bobby Mars put out an article I think yesterday about the Knicks situation with the cap regarding not this season, but 2627 and with the extensions of Mikuel Bridges and Mitchell Robinson. I know I saw Mikuel there um at the summer league for a few games sitting with the new coaching staff and everything. So, I was kind of wondering what like, you know, if there’s been any talks in regards to an extension and kind of where that puts the Knicks next season because they would then be approaching they would they would be in the second apron if they gave both Mitch and Mikuel an extension. So, I was kind of wondering um what the what it was looking like from an extension standpoint. Yeah, I haven’t seen anything or or heard anything in that regard. He was he was definitely out here heavy with with the uh with the whole squad and contingent OG as well. It’s OG’s birthday. Happy birthday to OG. But there’s going to come a point where they’re going to have to hit that second apron, man. Like, I mean, it it’s going to be inevitable. Does that mean that both get kept? Both Mitch and Bridges get kept? I’m not so sure. I wouldn’t be so quick to trade either one to be honest with you because I I don’t see how you necessarily improve the team. We really have to depend on who you bringing back. But I just I want to see first what Mike Brown does and gets out of Mela, especially offensively as a third option. and Mitch. Man, I’m scared to trade Mitch, bro. Like, this this defense would drive off a cliff without the blockchess monster. It’s going to be tough to make. I agree. And I was also just going to say, I believe um the Second Apron gets really bad when you’re a repeater team. So, if you’re in it for consecutive years, then the penalties really hit. And it’s like right now it’s the Knicks’s window. So, I mean like you got to pay to, you know, for that year because I really do think this year and the following year is their chance. I mean, you got to go all in while you have the chance. You got to go for it. I’m with you, man. So, let’s see what happens. But, yeah, I haven’t heard anything in terms of um where they’re at with the with contract extensions. Yeah. Yeah. And also, I saw um Deuce at the NBA store yesterday. He was having like a meet and greet with his like his new book. And um I said, what you call it? Um I said like he was over there with you guys. Said, “Oh, yeah. He’s had a great time over there. So, that was cool. Yeah, man. Duce Deuce is really hitting the media tour, man. He’s he’s on the Today’s Show. He’s uh he’s do he’s doing really good. His team is really doing a good job with him in terms of the circuit. So, you know, good exposure for him. Definitely. And lastly, with the new with the um the vet minimum that they have, do you think they’re just waiting on Marcus Smart? I saw that you reported and also um Steve Popper said that um looking like Ben Simmons is unlikely. So would you believe that leaves them kind of with Brogden or maybe a Smart if he gets bought out? Yeah, they could just be waiting around. It’s hard to say what I’m sure is is a backup option, but it’s it’s hard to say what his market is. So maybe they just understand that like hey like maybe we’re not really at risk of losing him. So maybe just wait and see. Maybe they take this all the way up to training camp. Who knows? Wait and see who gets who gets pushed out and what other names become available. I agree. Well, sounds good. Thank you for taking my call. All right, man. Good to hear from you, man. STG Nick on the Discord. Ally, your thoughts on on uh Macau and and and Mitch second apron. Yeah, I mean, you can’t lose either one of them. I mean, especially after what you traded for Bridges, you cannot just you got to see how it plays out, man. You made this investment and you gota look, the thing is, you don’t want to lose him just in free agency either. It’s like, all right, now you spend five draft picks and then you let him walk. that that’s that’s terrible asset management. I mean, we talk about Hartinstein, you know, the issue was that we can only offer him so much. It got to that point and then we look at the situation moving forward. It’s like that’s what happens when you let a guy walk. You don’t have an asset that you could trade to go get anything back in return and then it creates this vacancy and has you scrambling almost. And that’s part of the reason why they made the CAT deal, right? Where it’s like, yo, we need a center. We don’t have Henstein. Sure, as you report, they had their eyes on Cap, but that only expedited the situation, saying, “Yo, we got to make a move now because we can’t go into into the regular season with Julius playing the five uncertainty with Mitchell Robinson.” So, that’s part of where they got to they got to extend him, man. You can’t just you can’t just let him walk. I don’t see how you just let you just move forward without extending him. And even for Mitchell Robinson, I mean, I get that he’s injuryprone, but one thing I’ve been saying to everybody when we were doing the meetup for when we had Deuce, everyone, we brought this conversation came up a lot, man, between the fans and talking to, you know, CK, Andrew, myself, and even you, right? It’s like, what do you do with Mitch? Like, do you trade him? It’s like, you got to keep him, man. Like the thing is that his value, what he brings to this team defensively is you can’t replace it. And two, I feel like you just got to walk into the season with the belief that if the medical team could keep OG healthy for a full season, even and that’s an anomaly. I got to see a full year with Mitchell Robinson and this new medical staff that’s been touted as one of the best medical staffs in the NBA. So, got to have a little bit of confidence there. But to Nick, to SG Nick’s point, you’re not up against the second apron yet this season. You will be if you sign both those guys for next season. And if everything goes well and you’re close again, how can you just let that fall apart, right? This is your window, man. This is your chance. So, get to it. I feel like this the only way one of those guys gets moved is if things go completely left this season. Yeah, like Macau’s back is not as effective as we expect him to be even under Mike Brown, you know, or you have an injury with Mitchell Robinson again and he misses most if not the entire season. I feel like that’s those are the things in my head where you’re like that’s where you start start thinking, all right, what’s the next move? Yeah, true indeed, man. True indeed. Well, great points and great show as we conclude uh the summer league here in Las Vegas. Knicks lose the finale, man. 91 to 88.

And that’s craziness, man. Yeah. And ladies and gentlemen, in the chat, you see the more and more he talks about it, the more he reveals about his interest in this show. It’s all good, man.
