Miami Heat Getting LeBron James Back or Luring Luka Dončić To Leave Lakers?

Miami Heat Getting LeBron James Back or Luring Luka Dončić To Leave Lakers?

Did you guys uh see Udonis Hasslam yesterday? Did Udonis Hasslam was uh he was he was courtside, but he was uh he was on ESPN and uh he was talking about the LeBron James uh frostiness with the Lakers. It’s kind of a weird I don’t know what’s going on there. Like it seems everybody says he’s unhappy. I did see that he dapped up everybody from the Lakers yesterday, including Pelinka, but uh I don’t know. People are just like, I don’t know if LeBron’s having one. Why do we think we even make it? Like, nobody knows what the situation is. No. No. Like, and and so why we tend to do that. Like, is the truth not is the truth not good enough anymore? We don’t know what the truth is, though, right? So, let’s make it up. Uh, you can look into things. You’re anti- looking into things. It’s the offseason, buddy. No, I’m not anti- looking into things, but I am anti jumping to conclusions about something that might not be. Well, if you opt into a contract and your agent basically says this team ain’t good enough in so many words. What do you make of that? Like don’t have to say that. Then I would say this. Then why did you opt in? $52 million. You could have been a free agent. I’m 40 years old. Silly question. $52 million. Just you don’t think he could have got that from who? There’s when all the people face, right? Okay. There’s one dean that has cash. It’s the Nets. It’s not It’s not It’s not an easy market to go get $52 million. And to be quite honest, I I think people are making a bigger deal than it is because next year it’s going to be a great free agency class. Maybe depending on some of the extensions and the money is supposed to go up from this from the TV deal a little bit. It’s not going to be like 2016 where like Tyler Johnson’s making $50 million. No, but the big the the name players are going to make their money. The um but Udonis Hasm was on NBA today. I believe Sadana was guest hosting yesterday and uh they talked about it a little bit. Here you go. This was on ESPN. Should want to put yourself in a position where you can win a championship and land a plane. That is not in LA. I don’t give a damn who they bring to LA. That is not a championship roster right now with the LA Lakers. If LeBron James wants to put himself in a championship situation, then there has to be another opportunity out there that he needs to look for. I do know a place where he is welcome and he will always be welcome. Just to put that out there. You know what I’m saying? The keys under the mat. Now, hold on. Here’s why life with you is damn near impossible. Why? Because a year or two ago this wouldn’t even been a consideration. No chance. You said he could come back if he apologizes. He can do this. He can. No chance. Don’t want him. No. Don’t want him. No. I don’t sound like that, dude. And now all of a sudden I didn’t say. First of all, I didn’t say anything. Udon has then why are you giving me that look? You know he’s interesting. V this is why this man is if you saying it’s okay. This is why you’re impossible because I always tell you this. Oh, don’t worry. Times are changing. Then you’ll all of a sudden love that guy again. Mhm. Right. Time heals all once. Did it. He hasn’t still hasn’t apologized. Not to me personally. There’s media today for that. So, so you think if he wait, let me get this straight. So, you’re telling me if this all played out, LeBron came here that on media day he would apologize for the last way time it ended? I don’t know. We’ll see. We’ll see how that I’m going tell you. Hell no. We don’t know that. Yes, I do. We don’t know that. Why do you know any other two people head more headstrong than LeBron and Pat Riley? Tops. Yeah, but you don’t count. You’re not that head strong. You’re not as strong as that. Like, like, come on. You’re easily You’re easily I’m not Don’t Don’t say I’m You already changed your mind on LeBron. No. Remember when LeBron first left? No chance. I felt different. See, there’s there’s eras of things. My beef was with Cleveland Cavaliers return LeBron. It was a specific era of LeBron. Oh my goodness. I for some reason it always if anyone’s really mentioned it it was a specific error there’s like a there’s like a heat reunion trade that kind of like actually makes some sense for both sides and I don’t think there’s to be clear the worst talked about it I don’t know if anyone’s even thought about it but just things are thought you want me to do I’m supposed to ignore Udon Lakers have I guess sniffed around Wiggins I didn’t really understand any of those trade rumors what have I never wanted How many times did you put that? I think I Larry. Let’s just pretend. Yeah. Yeah. I didn’t get I I’ve already said on my podcast I didn’t understand. We did uh uh what’s his name from Portland? You like Dame? Did you go never wanted him? No, I said I really wanted him. Okay. Who else? Try and keep up. No. Who else? You say never wanted him. KD I mean it’s just enough. Wait, remember? Wait, this is a oldie with goodie. Remember you wanted Bradley Beal? I did want Bradley Beal, but he’s, you know, he was a flirt. That’s all he did. Bradley Beal just wants to be wanted. He didn’t want to go anywhere. Damage was done. Oh my god. So, you don’t want So, you don’t want LeBron? No, I’m intrigued by LeBron. I think it’s a good roster with him. I think it’s a good I think it’s a great move for him. Comes to the East, Norman Powell, Tyler Herro, a couple shooters. Bam bio Kell Wear. I think it’s a I think it’s a good fit. Bradley Bill the teaser horse of the NBA. You have LeBron play your three. Yeah. He can’t play the defense no longer man with uh Yeah, but you have a with a situation with Bam behind you who’s going to cover up with with wear at the rim and then you put Davon on certain situations too. I think you know what you’re you’re right. They’ll probably put Bam on the the best wing player. Yeah, like Bam’s that’s how it’s going to work anyway. So goes to the four. Okay. He’s there’s like it’s not like there’s a Super Bowl dominant guy that’s going to take anything away from him. Norman Pow’s a good defender. Well, he says he’s going to get back to that. Guys, he’s 32. He says he’s going to get back to it. 32. Three years. Give you three years. That’s still prime. Yeah, but you telling me he’s going to be a good defender at 32. I mean, listen, a good defender here is just better than Tyler Herro. Also, you don’t know how bad an influence James Harden was on him. You know, they already played two two seasons together. Bad influence. Get out of here. Bad influence, dude. Stop. Sitting there. He goes, “This James Harden, you don’t try.” He’s looking around. Yo, dude. What? Can I just tell you it it it should be admired how you can move in and out of situations. Thank you. unscathed while just saying the totally opposite thing that you said in the past. I haven’t said anything opposite. Really? Yeah. Each season’s a new season. It’s a new book. It’s a new dawn. Now we Now we we right. Yeah. Okay. Team Petty really like when it was over it was over. I told you I moved on. Now you’re just lying. I’m a changed man. Now you’re just lying. I’m a changed man. Yeah. when you notice like the best option is that guy who you said never he’s soften he’s been softening his his ice cold uh demeanor to LeBron over the last couple of years anytime LeBron’s name has been mentioned to Miami he’s always said that he’s letting he’s willing to let by he’s show more appreciation for it you know he’s been he’s very complimentary to Spo he likes Bam out of bio a lot and also I think Tobin’s starting to realize that Riley might have had a little part in this in the whole uh separation as well. Yeah. After the years, let’s not completely change history. I mean, yes, he did fly Dan Gilbert down here secretly and make Pat Riley go across the country. If we’re going to do the cookies thing, this is what we’re going to do. No, no, no, no. I’m not doing the cookies thing. What I’m tell talking about is I’ve seen over the years how you’ve been looking across the window yelling at Pat to try to get players and stuff like that, which is probably the same thing that LeBron was saying, you know, I need help. I need more weapons and stuff like that. Players and then he anti-recruited Pasol to come here. Passol was going to come here and then he was like, don’t go there. I’m not going to be there. And Pat Riley also pulled Shabbaz Napier out of his hat. And though that he’s a terrible basketball player, we had no business drafting him anyway. And the only reason we drafted him is because LeBron wanted him. I just anti-recruit. He anti-recruited. That’s a known thing. Stuck you with Josh McRoberts for four years. You want to know the grudge? Did you see Josh McRoberts play for the Heat? I mean, I dressed like him. So, I guess. Yes. Yes, he did. But time he was like Josh McRobert. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You never seen that? Cute. Wait, wait, question. How did you have that soul locked in? I didn’t put that up. I didn’t put that up. Why is your nails so manicured while holding yourself? Who? You. That’s just the the view. I That’s just the lights. Yeah. I don’t No, dude. My nails are manicured by my teeth. Talking about angles. What a great bit. We got in trouble. You look like you really enjoy taking these pictures. Let me tell you something. Jackass moment there. Jackass was standing next to me and going, “No, no, put your hand right there.” Yeah, it was a great director. He was directing it. So that’s why it looks that way. It look like he’s like, “Show me the love. Show me the feeling. Show me.” Well, look at Josh McRoberts there. You got to you got to you got to feel you got to be like, “Oh my god, you got you got you got pulled in a Quinton Tobin Tobatino movie, man. Very centered. Oh my god, look at that. This is crazy, dude. Look at him. The unusual suspects. Is he still playing basketball? No, I don’t think so. Wait, who am I getting to mix up? Who Who was here? Oh, that Kelly O. But he just showed up one year with this Jesus hair and I was like, “Hey, dude. Like the first year didn’t go great. We’re going with this. This is the outfit you’re going with this year.” Starboard to doom. You know what? I think you just don’t like people who grow out their hair. Cuz you can’t. I mean, what? Yeah. Now you’re saying Now you’re claiming I can’t grow hair. That’s funny. The bald guy telling the guy with hair that you know. Oh, I I admit to it though. You hate Maxus’s hair. I put it this way. No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on. That’s different. Max, not the computer clothes. Hold on. Max Struce looks like a complete bleepole and he knows it. That man got rich and all of a sudden was like, “Look at me.” He’s like shaking it like a peacock. Is he like he’s looks like this? Yeah. Well, no, he doesn’t. He doesn’t look like Jesus. It’s just like, “Look at me. I have bacheloretses in my beard. I talked to Jesus. Jesus feels offended for you comparing him to Josh McRoberts, man. He doesn’t like that. Jesus doesn’t like that. Jesus doesn’t like that. Yeah, I’m sure Jesus doesn’t like that. My beard Jesus said his beard is more fuller than uh Josh. I’m sure Jesus doesn’t like people cosplaying him when they’re 610 stiffs. I’m just saying Jesus Asus wasn’t feeling that. Don’t compare him to Joshua Roberts. So, you don’t like uh that Udon Hazam’s out here flirting with LeBron, huh? No. You don’t seem to be keen on you’re so you’re so concerned with boxing. No, I think they’re friends and I think that what he was saying is accurate and he believes that LeBron has the power to make those demands and do what he what he wants to do at this point in his career. Um, so yeah, I see exactly where he’s coming from. My thing is is always funny when all your options seem to fall by the wayside how easily you’re ready to go back to an old fling. I don’t like to think of it like that. An old fling. I don’t like to think of it like an old fling. Wait, wait, wait. He was more than a fling. You know, it was it was it was, you know, his most So, you’re marrying an ex-wife. Hey, Nelly did. Nelly spun around the block and look what he did. You got a Shanti, got married, got her pregnant, got a beautiful family. You could spin around the block and they have a TV show and they have a reality TV show. You could spin around the block. There’s nothing wrong about spinning around the block. Just just what? Admit it that admit what? What am I admitting? Seems like he needs a better option. He’s got old chipmunk cheeks over there. Who? Leona. Yeah, he’s like he don’t look like chipmunk cheeks. No, no, no. Wait, that’s the first thing we said about that picture. Time to look slim. Wait, wait till he’s not looking for his summer body. Trust me. You see, this is what I love. Now, this is what we get. Couple couple of week couple of weeks of Milwaukee. He’s 25 26. He just gave me this is where we get you right now, Tobin. Cuz now I have you. Now you’re making fun of Luca. But if Luca and the Lakers don’t work out, you’re going to start. Oh man. You see, you see looks so happy. Hey, welcome to the game. You see how quick, bro? Welcome to the game. You just insulted Luca telling LeBron, “Hey, LeBron, you want to play with this guy who’s going to keep on gaining weight?” But can you trust I mean like what is it? If LeBron really trusted Luca, do you think you would be sticking around? Because if you trusted Luka, he’d stick around. So you saying that and saying that Luca is chunky and chubby, chipmunk cheeks, you would take him in a heartbeat. But me saying something about the left tackle playing in the NBA court. I don’t like what you’re doing, dude. Listen, I felt like old Sesame Street rhyme. One of these things is not like the other. You know, remember that. You know what? I can’t wait, Leroy. You’re gonna fat shame someone and they’re gonna do something athletically better than you and it’s going to destroy you. No, no, no. Let me explain something to you. Let me explain something to you. I have always told Tobin this, right? We look at sports and we look at the roles that people play in sports without fully realizing how athletic they are. I used to watch dunk contest with the lineman in camp. So, I’m never going to say that because of a way a person looks that he’s not athletic or can’t play. No, don’t get don’t get that. No, I’m never gonna say that because Jerry Ball, you remember Big Ball? Yeah, DT tackle. You know what he would do? He put a $100 on the line and dare any wide receiver. If you can get off the line of scrimmage, you can have that $100. Wow. And nobody did it. Look at these two. Cuz he had good feet. What you doing, dude? That’s just a weird picture of two men holding what? Holding giving each other a pound while Michael Jordan’s insignia is right between them. Looks like they giving each other a pound. Yeah. That’s just a weird picture. Wow. Look how happy that Jig, am I wrong? So, so listen, Vlad, you’re going to never hear me say that you need a certain body type to be athletic cuz I’ve seen it with my own eyes that No, you don’t. Wait, show that picture again. I I agree with you, Leroy. How they giving each other a pound with the Jordan legs split into? I don’t think they’re giving each other a pound. I think they’re like they’re they’re like almost like like uh embracing, you Know it’s like a handshake, you know. That’s a pound. No, they they dapping up. Yeah, I wouldn’t call just a couple blates in Greece. Hey, that’s a pound. Look, cap for life. There we go. Bam. Recruiting. Mhm. I tell you what would have made Tobin go crazy if you saw that picture and Goi was there. Now that that Goi was also in Greece. Oh, he was so he might have been at the I think he was he’s an Adidas guy. Oh, he’s an Adidas guy. No, he was sitting through the bushes. That’s right, Brat. Say hello. Okay, so just so we’re clear here, Luca. You You No, no, no, no. You can’t all of a sudden talk about um me fat shaming people and you sitting here doing it for Luca to try to bring only if LeBron wants to come here. But Luca, I’d also get away from this drama queen over here. All right. He always wants headlines. All right. He’s jealous of you. Talk about LeBron now. He’s crapping on LeBron. But wait, you just said you take a Wait, do you want LeBron or No, man. Is a cat on a fence, right? Okay. He’s a big fat cat. I’m not a cat. I’m not a fat cat. He could fall. I don’t I don’t like Mondays. And I do like lasagna, but I’m not a fat cat. Listen. What? Wait. I We were just talking about LeBron coming here and now you’re I don’t understand what what’s your angle here. Oh, here’s the Okay, let me just be clear. If Luca doesn’t Okay, if Luca doesn’t sign the extension, Luca, you got to get away from this drama queen. Okay. Well, what if LeBron’s here? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. He likes to make it all about himself. Okay. Passive aggressive. It’s never good enough for him. And it’s not your favorite city. You know what your favorite city is? Okay. Get the hell away from him. Okay. LeBron, how can you trust this guy, dude? He got traded for a bag of donuts. Okay. Yeah, he’s skinny now, but you know he’s probably on Ompic. So once the season starts, couple bruskis back, that calf’s flaring up all of a sudden, you can’t trust that. You need to be a place where you got to be well conditioned, right? You probably got like five years left in you, baby. Wow. So it depends. That’s crazy, man. Dude, he I know we saw Sophie. That is crazy. What makes this incredible? You have just told two stories that wash themselves out. So, you can just roll with either story depending on what happens. Bingo. Now, do whatever favor. But here’s what makes it amazing. He’s doing it beforehand this time instead of after. Mhm. So, you win regardless. Thank you. No, we still know you’re a fraud, though. I’m not a fraud. Pick a side. Can’t pick a side. He can’t on the heat side. I thought man Shakira I thought Shakira’s hips never lied but gez the way you man. Can we could you imagine to I think we need to do a bit within belly dance to Luca Luca. beyond the surface.

Tobin has chosen two paths for the Miami Heat’s next whale…will either work? Probably not, but let’s have some fun, baby!
