Jeff Teague KNEW Damian Lillard would return to Portland Trail Blazers, leave Milwaukee Bucks

The news drop as as you predicted T. Hell of a transition though. Dave Liller going back home baby. Threeear 42 M back to Portland. I told you. Player option in 27 to 28 and a no trade clause. Go where you celebrate not tolerated. I told y’all, bro. It just makes sense, bro. Yeah, apparently. [ __ ] Like why would you go somewhere else? Too many [ __ ] You probably only got to play one year. Yeah, he not playing next year. That’s crazy. The Rio game. N shout out the dame [ __ ] You [ __ ] top 75, bro. You deserve everything. Why Why would he go chase a ring and you already been in a situation where you went to go do that and people blamed you. People like discredit your greatness. He was still averaging 26 and what seven seven six and boys was talking about Tyrese Hallebertton was better than him. Yeah, he not. But we would have never said that if he stayed in Portland. I never said that. I would a I hope I didn’t say that. I might have said that. Yeah. I hope I did. You said it. You definitely said it. You know that. You said history. No. Now. Yes. Oh, yeah. And he wasn’t hurt yet. Yeah, it was me. I said it, too. Yeah. See what I’m saying? We would have never said that. Yeah. We got him up out of here. But shout out to Bane. 70 M’s the next two years, baby. 141 over two. Go where you celebrate, not tolerate it. But like you said, that Bucks put a lot of smoke on his name for no reason, bro. He had to adjust to a team that wouldn’t cater to him there at all. Didn’t get comfortable yet. He was still averaging 26. He was still averaging over 25 points a game. But like, go back to where they love you, bro. You can do whatever you want. He Well, he know that obviously. He can do whatever he want in Portland. He can have a bad year. Everybody like, “Dang, thank you for staying. Thank you for coming back. Don’t nobody care.” Like Portland ain’t a championship now, too. Yeah. I just wish he never left then. At this point, it was just no reason. He didn’t want to though. You know how that last second he tried to come back like Yeah. And whoever was running the show at that time was like, nah. Cuz he said that years ago, bro, I want to remain a Portland trailblazer. He did. He said that a long time ago. And especially when you standing somewhere you frustrated. He like, I ain’t getting the help I need. Making no moves and help me progress at all. Like if it’s not the case, then free me. He did what Kobe was doing. Something they really traded. Yeah. He was trying to light a fire under him. They tried a lot of fire and you know it it backfired a little bit but [ __ ] they did right bomb. Yeah to get a three-year deal off the torn Achilles at that age you to go bro with no trade clause and I that let you know we we apologized to him basically. Yeah. Yeah. We was wrong. Yeah. And he was like yeah I [ __ ] up too. Let’s make it right. Yeah. Let’s make it right. And a big point about that that people missed was that the whole situation was to get him to Miami. It wasn’t for him to go to Milwaukee. It was just that Pat Riley [ __ ] and on top of what they had on going on with the office. That was supposed to be him in Miami. Probably with a much better fit. Probably felt a little bit better about the move. But Davin Walker [ __ ] just didn’t work out. It didn’t even make sense, man. Yeah. But shout out to D, man. Get that bag for sure. Yeah, I’m happy for him. Speaking of point guards on the move, Marcus Smart, he is a Laker. You know what I’m saying? They had to wave two people to get him there, man. Luca pushed him to make it happen. How y’all feel about that? Is that a good PG for them? No. You don’t think so? No. How you feeling about that move? Oh [ __ ] To me, it’s another piece. They need somebody to play. Ain’t nobody else there. Jeff would give a better breakdown than I could about it, but I’m just saying. I mean, I’m not mad at it. Don’t It don’t fit. That’s what I’m thinking. It don’t really They need somebody who can shoot though. It don’t fit. That’s what they need. Yeah, they need people to shoot. If I had to give a analysis on them, but I mean I’m They got Marcus Smart. It ain’t like But you got to think the team is what I’m saying. It’s not [ __ ] the team up. No, he going to do all the extra [ __ ] But they trying to look at him. They was looking for that Caruso type of player and he can fit that mold. I don’t know if he still got that any Paul’s like I don’t know if that energy is still there. I mean he going to play hard. That’s Marcus. But when it come to other stuff Marcus is a ball dominant kind of player like he keep the ball he want to make play like you not about to get none of that [ __ ] with Luca and Braun. That’s over with. Like you bringing the rock up and all that and Austin Reeves. So Murray Smart got to pass and cut pass cut sitt in the corner. Yeah, a lot of people bro that’s a lot of people are saying like you know the last two years he been having a different role that we accustomed to see him being with the Wizards and then with Memphis but then like I said is he going to reinvent himself now? He got to be a spot up shooter. I mean he played with talented players before obviously being in Boston he played but they were primary scorers. Yeah like like bring primary scores. Jaylen Brown, Jason Tat want to score points. Braun and Luca are facilitators that can score. Yeah. Like Yeah. I just don’t see the fit. But if they if he can turn into Caruso Yeah. and just play defense, run, cut, play hard, his shots. Yeah. Make his timely threes, then it it’ll work. But he got to take the whole Caruso, bro. 10 points a game. That’s solid. Yeah, he can for sure. I mean, Marcus Smart a quality basketball player. I’m saying, but to fit with the Lakers. Yeah. You got to be a special role to play with Brown, bro. Gota be a specialist, bro. Gota be a sniper. Very true. Yeah, we’ve seen this before. Ball Dominic guards when I get along with him, especially with Luca. But I want to ask you this question. Um, a lot of people feel like AR needs to go be that. You know what I’m saying? Sixman be the best sixman he can be with this team and start barking smart. How y’all feel about that? Quiet. I like it. Yeah. Come off with that second unit. Be the star of the second unit. Go crazy. I like it. I kind of like that. I like I don’t really my second unit through Marcus Smart. Say they five real quick. What y’all would do with they five before I say anything? I mean just LeBron Marcus Smart. Who else on their team? Uh I know if you saw Roy and then Big Boy. Yeah, Aiden. I hate that team. Yeah, I hate that team. That’s nasty work, bro. Yeah, he look through the squad. off the bench. Maxi Clever off the bench. Going to shoot that [ __ ] I say Austin Reed’s got to start. He going to shoot the ball. Jacob Robin going to get some run. He got a burner, too, but I don’t know if you gonna put him in start unit. They hire Andre Vandervelt every single year. Play Lakers mid, y’all. They they they mid, bro. Brian got leave, bro. Brian down there. He He Lakers mid, y’all. Brian gota leave. Just gonna say that Brown gota leave, bro. I ain’t going if you’re a Lakers fan. Do you Is this a top four team in the West right now on paper? They going they going to win just cuz they got Luca. They they got the two best players to take over team. Okay. Yeah. But if one of them get hurt, it’s quiet. Yeah, it’s done. If Brian left though, they could get a nasty team, bro. Oh, they’ be raw. Brian holding them back for sure. They could get nasty team. Swear. Yeah. A lot of people, you know what I’m saying? saying speculations that you know a little bit upset that he ain’t been included on stuff but they like why are we including you on stuff cuz bro you’re not the future here bro you about to dip out for next year why we run ideas to you I don’t even think Brian the type of person that he won’t even retire next year he not bro keep trying to tell y’all y’all keep trying to kick him out the league he can do another three years bro he’s going to be the oldest player ever points ever going to keep building them points do whatever he want if he want to play for the Lakers for three years he’s going to be on the Lakers that is a Yeah, there’s nothing you can do. What are you going to say? That would be hilarious though. You going to tell me no? Yeah, Brian’s playing till he’s 45, y’all. He might. If I’m Rob Pelinka, I want to be the code. I’m going be the [ __ ] that traded Brown. He He ain’t going to do it. He ain’t that bold. I would. He not going to do it. Is that really a bold move to trade? We don’t need you. Trade me then. You cannot trade LeBron James, bro. Let’s trade LeBron, bro. Do you trade LeBron? Ro the cest of all time. He not gonna do it. If you trade LeBron, bro, and get like uh trade him to Dallas and get some young exciting players like you get PJ Wash. If you just bring Luca old team back, you literally can do that though. Hey, just to bra just retire, bro. Oh, is Luca shitty if they trade Bron to Dallas? If they can bring his team back, he probably be cool with it, bro. Yeah, he would. I want Brian I want Brian to stay in the league. I just want him to get the [ __ ] off the Lakers. You bring I’m trying to look who they got. They bring Derek What about they bring Derek Lively back?
