NBA Trade Rumors: Blockbuster 3-Team Deal Lands the Warriors $100 Million Brooklyn Nets Guard

NBA Trade Rumors: Blockbuster 3-Team Deal Lands the Warriors $100 Million Brooklyn Nets Guard

What is going on everyone? Welcome back to another edition of BKNY Hoops. If you are new to the channel, I your host uh Rashid White. All right, let’s get into it, man. You guys see the graphics, you see the title, right? Um especially if you see the graphics, uh John Kaminga, Cam Thomas swap, right? both guys I believe need especially Cam Thomas um he’s taking this really really hard man he need they both need a change of scenery and you know this trade actually works I don’t know how he actually fits in the Golden State Warriors system but let’s get into a couple of articles right now and let me see his value Cam Thomas believes we going to get into the trade stuff and and see what the media pundits actually really truly think about that. But yeah, so the Cam Thomas uh he estimates his value uh as one of the NBA’s best young scorers and I just don’t think he really truly understands like what GMs are actually saying, right? He’s just looking at it from a one-dimensional. It’s not just the scoring, man. It’s the rebounds, it’s the assists, it’s the defense, you know. Um it it that that’s what these guys are really looking at. Even just like from a mere talent perspective, if you actually compare him to a lot of the other top guards, like shooting guards in the uh you know in the NBA, Ant-Man, K Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, um what’s Devin Booker, right? Um all those guys are infinitely way better than Cam Thomas. And you know, for the most part, I don’t know about Devin Booker, but like those other three guys I just mentioned, you know, they actually do it on both ends. It’s not just scoring, scoring, scoring, scoring, man. You know, um, and if you’re actually really the team’s best player, right, you got to actually really make the other guys around you better. So he Ken Thomas really compares himself to, let’s say, like one of the best guards in the NBA. He looks at Tyler Hero. Uh he feels he feels that he’s actually really better than those guys. They said Heroes is the is the best player of the bunch. He they talk about different guards. Uh RJ Barrett uh Emanuel Quickley. He will make 32.5 million in the upcoming NBA season. Hero 31 million. Barrett 27.7 million. Thomas has been has been firm on getting a deal within 25 to 30 million uh uh per year range. the Nets reportedly offer him a 2-year contract worth 14.1 million. He and like I said, I’m on record saying that he really just needs to actually take that money. So, uh the Brian Lewis, uh he’s a New York Post beat reporter over here. He’s saying that it’s uh surprising was it surprising that the offer wasn’t higher? No, not particularly. Lewis said the Nets has been reported at Nauseium are the only team that has significantly significant money to spend. Uh so they have uh disincentivized to bid against themselves. I I mean the only thing I I would say here in this type of situation is like how is it that Claxton really kind of like gets a $97 million contract and to me really he provides no value, right? You can’t play him in a seven game series. He’s undersized at the three at the four and the five position. He doesn’t have the skills to actually play the three position. So, how does he get a $97 million contract? At least what Cam Thomas, right? There is value in Cam Thomas, you know, but just right now, and this is only what you really can see right now is a bench player, right? Um because you haven’t really seen a large sample size. The the Brooklyn Nets, you know, and they did them dirty. the coaches actually did them dirty. You know, like I said before, like during the big three era and especially when you had just KD and Kyrie and when James Harden went down and you had no Ben Simmons, there was room for Cam Thomas there to actually go out there, learn, develop, um, make the mistakes and, you know, you could play him second, third quarter, you don’t got to play him in the fourth. And, you know, Kevin Durant could have taught him some things and, um, and and and especially like Kyrie Irving, man. So, um, that’s the Nets organization really kind of doing that to them. And then you also got to look at like Ace Bailey, right? I know I kind of bring him up like this is why he didn’t want to go to the Philadelphia Phil Philadelphia 76ers, right? And you look at um um Cam Thomas and and Jonath Kaminga. You know, they both go to like winning situations where necessarily the coach don’t really value the actual uh, you know, rookies because they feel that they make mistakes. They’re learning the game. Um, so you know, like you look at Ace Bailey, right? You can’t blame him for like even one like losing the money, but then he’ll actually get a chance to really play. So yeah, this Cam Thomas is just the um Well, let’s get let’s get back Let’s get into this over here. Let’s get into the like the main meat of this actual show over here, man. So it says the uh three team deal lands. The Golden State Warriors, $100 million Brooklyn Nets guard. I don’t know if the Golden State I mean he’ll get what he actually wants. It’s a sign and trade four years $65 million. Um the Bulls get Nicks Class Nicks Claxton Josh Giddy ressigned four years $98 million. Um a 2026 SEC sec second round pick. Oh, I didn’t even see the Nick Claxton part over here, man. I didn’t even see this part. I just thought it was like um I didn’t and then the Nets actually get Jonathan Kaminga via sign and trade four years $84 million. I said that’s a little bit lower than what he actually wants. But um you know both of these guys in terms of Jonathan Kaminga and Cam Thomas really go you know get a chance to go you really go out there and actually prove themselves right. Um I guess you you you kind of run your offense through Jonathan Kaminga if the if he was actually get traded over here. Um and you know his assist numbers you know are low but again he doesn’t really get a chance to play and um there’s a confidence issue sometimes the coach can look at like if Jonathan Kiga makes a mistake he’ll yank him out of the game. Um and you know that can really kind of waver on a player’s confidence and just really kind of cause him to overthink the game. So it says Cam Thomas is a scoring weapon for the Golden State Warriors and which they really do need, right? Um, it says 6’3, you know, I guess without the sneakers. It’s like, you know, 6’2, 61ish, right? We had Drock who uh took a picture with Cam Thomas, showed it on the show, right? He was really more like 6’1. Um, averaging 24 points per game last season for the Nets. Thomas showcas his ability to create offense at will regardless of the defender in front of him. his offense output has drawn comparison some to some of the league’s bench scorers. So, he doesn’t really see himself as a bench scorer. And I don’t know, you know, maybe with the Golden State Warriors, um he does he come off the bench? Yeah, I believe he does. What the hell is this? Okay. It’s a moth in this house over here, man. Um All right. So, it talks about John Ding Kaminga situation over here. Um, it says his future with the Warriors appear cloudy. Reports suggest that Kaminga is uninterested in returning to the Golden State Warriors. Ah, got his ass. Got him. But the fast really, really lightning fast hands, man. He was attracted to all the studio lights. I actually got in here, man. Um, where was I at? Okay, so he doesn’t want to go back to the to the Golden State Warriors, and I really don’t blame him, you know. Um maybe they actually fire Steve Kerr. Who knows? But right in this circumstance, he doesn’t want to go back to the to the Golden State Warriors. And if you’re the Golden State Warriors, you do not want to really kind of resign him, right? You want a player that’s really truly committed to actually being there. And you know, like it’s just probably the whole like organization, right? It leaves a sour taste in Jonathan Jonathan Kaminga’s mouth. We see the NBA comps on Jonathan Kamingas. It it it’s uh you know Jaylen Brown, right? And if I’m Steve Curry, I’m looking at that and I’m like, “Hold on, man. We got to get this guy, you know, give him a chance to really play over here, man. We seen Jaylen Brown, he was a finals MVP.” Um and and and maybe Jonathan Kaminga like in terms of the small forward, you actually have to have like uh different type of skills like a bag per se, like excellent ball handling skills, right? passing, shooting, but like you know, Jonathan Kaminga’s athleticism, like he puts a lot of pressure on the rim, right? Like a lot of it, you know, you don’t really need a bag per se. I mean, it it, you know, it helps, but like just really like straight line drives, playing the angles, having counters to like like drives, footwork, you know, just basic simple stuff is what you really truly need right there, man. Um, the bag does help, but if he can like overpower guys, you know, with his frame, then you don’t really need all that. So, you only need a bag if you’re like Kyrie Irving, right? You’re undersized, you know, you have longer guys really guarding you, bigger, stronger guys, then you then you need a bag. But if you can just overpower people, man, a lot of times you don’t really need a bag. You didn’t see Shaq with a bag, especially when he was with the uh, you know, um, the Lakers. This is like basic like just post up, you know, dunk on them or like a fadeaway shot and nobody could really stop him. You don’t really need all the the the ball handling and you know. So, um yeah, I think this is a really really good trade. Let me get the phone lines open. You guys actually call in, give me your input, you know, especially especially we get Nick Claxton off the team, man. That’s the main thing. I should have added him in the thumbnail. You get Claxton off of here, man. That is the main thing. Forget Cam Thomas, John Daminga. They can get somebody to take Claxton off off the Brooklyn Nets hands. And I’m not hating on Claxton. That was somebody who had like really really, you know, um high hopes in Claxton, you know. So, um where else? Oh, didn’t it? So, the comparisons, you got Heat fans laughing over here at at uh the the the uh um the Tyler Hero Cam Thomas. I don’t know, man. I don’t know who’s actually really better, man. What What do you guys actually think in the comments section there, man? Is is is uh is um Tyler Hero better than Cam Thomas? I think this is really kind of echoing the same thing from the previous article I was just reading over there, man. Um, and then they asking over here in this article, they’re saying if um, Cam Thomas has more 40point games than multiple NBA legends, so why lowball him? Without really having to go through this article, man, um, I can say, listen, you got to see if it actually translates into wins. Yo, DJ, what’s good, man? What’s good? What’s good? What do you think about this trade request of a trade ID? I’m sorry. Uh we who who else we get? Kaminga and what else? So, you got Cam Thomas uh going to Golden State. Kaminga will be coming to the Brooklyn Nets. And then you have Nick Claxton going to the Bulls. I mean, we get we get rid of basically two problems really. So, I mean, yeah. I mean, I’ll do the deal. If I mean, if this report is true, I’ll do the deal. Yeah. It was a couple reports. It was It’s not a bad trade. It’s not a bad trade. Yeah. Yeah. So, what about Jonathan K? He doesn’t have a He doesn’t have a bag, you know, as some people would say. He doesn’t have a bad I mean, if you average 25 points in the playoffs, how is that not a bag? Yeah. Exactly. Right. And it’s just as simple like straight watch the games, bro. Like you can’t sit up here and tell me you watch Kaminga and say he don’t got a bag, bro. He has at least a bag. Well, you know, I’m going to play devil’s advocate over here, man. So, there’s a reason why um Steve Kerr, a championship coach, right? Four rings, doesn’t want to play the man. Well, I mean, doesn’t he he likes I mean, he said it multiple times. He likes the vets. So, he doesn’t even he typically doesn’t really play the young guys really. Yeah. Yeah. Unless unless you’re like his favorite like All right. Pods, he he played pods because he likes pods a lot. But if he doesn’t like you, you’re not really getting in the rotation. Yeah. So at BK Hoops, uh John Den Kaminga doesn’t have basketball. He don’t have a brain. Um he doesn’t have a brain. Well, he needs time, man. Like you know, a lot of these guys are learning. How can they expect him to develop if he don’t get no burn, bro? Yeah, he needs time, man. That’s the thing. 25 when when he played in the beginning of the season before that ankle injury, he was averaging like four or five rebounds with like four assists, bro. So, those numbers went up when he got the playing time. Yeah. Yeah. He gets benched, numbers go down. It’s like I ain’t going to lie, bro. Is Kerr like getting exposed for how bad of a coach he is, bro? Well, that’s the thing though. That’s that’s the that’s the crazy thing is that he won four rings, you know. So, I don’t know. But that’s off the back of the talent that he had. Well, every every Listen, that’s why Phil Jackson back in the days, he actually picked the teams that he actually wanted to coach. If they had no talent, you could be the best coach in the world, but you like if you don’t have no shooters, you’re not going to win games, you know? So, um, and didn’t they win without Kerr? There was like one ring they went without Ker, wasn’t it? Marj. Um, no, they didn’t. No, it was all on Steve Kerr. Yeah, he was gone before that. Yeah. Yeah, he was gone before that. Um, no, that’s what I’m saying. Listen, G Giovani. Yeah. Under Jody Fernandez, right? And I just think if if what you’re saying is actually really true, um, maybe he was playing for a contract and not playing team basketball. But I think right now he actually got his money, right? You know, a lot of these guys are there to make money. Let’s be real. That’s on limited minutes, bro. How many minutes he played this season? Yeah. Let me let me look at the numbers, man. [ __ ] just be talking in the comments, bro. Like, did they even watch basketball? Did they even watch the Warriors, bro, this season? Jonathan, uh, let’s see. Kaminga, they come here with no facts. Let’s see. Yeah, because I think they he was even Oh, even the coach if the coach is saying, “Oh, he’s giving a reasons on why he’s not playing you, bro. Every reasons he’s given is just, oh, cuz I don’t want to play certain guys and I got Steph Curry.” It’s always just Steph Curry. So, so what’s going to happen when Steph Curry leaves? Yeah, that’s true. That’s true. Or it gets hurt, right? So, get hurt. Well, I mean, yeah, when he got when Kirk got hurt, I mean, Steve I mean, Steph Kurt got hurt, they had to play um the young guys, they had to play Moody. And let’s look at the the key thing over here is, right, looking at the actual minutes, right? So, this is 15.3 points and limited minutes, right? Up and down, injuries. If he was to get like 35 minutes a game, I think the rebounds would go to like let’s say six and his assist numbers would go to like maybe four um you know maybe four and a half maybe five. Got a nice range game ain’t going to lie. Yeah. Yeah. And he can’t shoot. We’ve seen the the three-point shooting has actually got it’s increased over the years. Um let me see how many games he played cuz he got that ankle injury. He was out for like a while. Um, well, one of the knocks was is he was was his shooting, right? So, his career is 33.2%. And this is last year right here. This is this is like the 24 25 season, you know, 15.3. So, his scoring averages actually went up. Now, I get it, right? You don’t want to pay $100 million to someone averaging like 15 something points per game. And then you look at Muel Bridges, right? Um, but isn’t that Haven’t we seen guys get paid that type of money with less numbers? I mean, we’ve seen it before. Well, you look at Unless he’s like a That’s like a rarity right there. That’s like an outlier. Like Nick Claxton is an outlier cuz like Nick Claxton I just don’t see I don’t get it. I mean there’s there’s a lot of general maybe I don’t know basketball man though. We’ve seen I mean we don’t have to go to class. We can just go to other players. you’ve seen players get paid that type of money with that like with them numbers. So, is it I mean, is it is that just the market what it is right now or? Yeah, his second year he was shooting 37% from the three-point line. Um, how many attempts? Let’s see where is it almost like was it four game. That’s not bad, right? That’s not bad at all. 37 um and then it dipped a little bit. So, he’s averaging last season the 20 turnover machine. describe turnover machine because his turnovers per game is not even that high. Um 1.4 turnovers a game. That’s not bad. That’s not even a lot. So what are you talking about turnover machine? Turnover machine is Russell Westbrook. So 23 average 16.1 points per game. 1.4 is actually low in today’s NBA. That’s a low number. Turnovers. Yeah. And again, let me let’s Where’s the minutes at? Hold on. minutes 24 and he has even it’s always been in the one range all his turnovers. Yeah. Do you actually what do you actually consider him a star player or like a high-end role player? Um I think honestly they don’t really know who he is. I think he’s a second option. So I mean second or third option. So, I mean, I think he could be a star player, but I just think with his frame, his body, and his height, and his and the way he’s and his skill set, bro, I think he could be a star player. He’s got to go to the right. If you went to like Miami or something, bro, I think he could definitely turn into a star player. Yeah. I mean, what about I mean, like what Jody Fernandez did with Cam John Cam Johnson because like I was blown away. I mean, it was consistent. It wasn’t just like he’s got to go to like he can’t stay the thing about it is Kaminga cannot stay on the worst. It’s going to stunt his growth, bro. Yeah. Like just get out of there. Like and I don’t blame him because it’s like Kerr Kerr got to be like one of the worst developmental coaches ever, bro. Yeah. Like look at all You don’t even have to go to Kaminga. Look at look at all the young players. Moody Moody hasn’t developed anything. He’s still the same player. Yeah. I think the NBA in general, man, for the most part, not every team, but for the the NBA in general is just bad at development, you know? Like I don’t know what it is. every bro, a lot of these young players look the exact same as they were like. Yeah. Yeah. It’s either they just coming in or they’re not like wanting to get better or you know they got that people teaching them the wrong things. Um I I don’t know what it is but like most of these most of these teams around the league the development system is actually and again you know like I said player one says Kaminga actually has a weak handle. Uh that’s why he’s been forced to play power forward even though he’s undeidized. Did you player one did you actually see him play small forward when he was he was actually playing he was actually playing small forward on the uh Minnesota playoffs. Boom. Well, a lot of that could be like, you know, offensive and like a offensive advantage, right? If you have a slower power forward guarding like John Den Kaminga and, you know, like most of the 240 250 pound guys, you know, they don’t want to be hovering around the perimeter. Man, I was watching Khalil wear. I forgot who was he playing. And he has like what you would say um like like like like the build today like the like how his body is actually really built to guard the perimeter and he don’t want to go out there. He was it was one game I was watching he was just getting burned from three. He didn’t want to go out there and just run guys off the three-point line. I think he’s like 220 something pounds, 230 and and um so putting him at the power forward position, you know, it could give like John Kam Kaminga like cleaner looks, you know, so if you got like Paulo Ben Carroll on you, you know, he’s not he, you know, he’s a guy that actually has to let’s say carry the offense. So he’s not gonna go want to go out there and play like highlevel defense like that like intense high level defense if he actually has to carry an offense. So you put Jonathan Kaming got the power for it you know that’s an advantage on him right there. I mean I mean I think honestly half the league at least majority is out of position. Yeah. Yeah. I I agree there. That’s true too. I mean look at look at clock. We saw Anthony Davis out of position for like years. Do you think Cam Thomas is actually a real true What is Cam Thomas though? Right. Is he undersized at the two position? I think his height I think his height says he’s a point guard, but I mean his Yeah, that’s what I was saying. The last his skill set isn’t a point guard. So, well, I think it’s more I think I think his Well, he Well, see well, Cam Thomas does have good ball handling skills. I just think it’s a mindset, right? I mean, his his uh um who he looked up to, you know, when he was actually playing basketball, we all fall in love with basketball for different reasons. Um, he looked up to Kobe Bryant and Kobe Bryant did not have a point guard mentality. He didn’t he wasn’t like really trying like Phil Jackson had to come in and say, “Yo, yo, pass the rock, man.” Same thing with MJ, right? These guys weren’t actually really trying to pass like that. And Phil Jackson had to come in and say, “Hey, pass the ball.” I mean, would you I ain’t going to lie, would you blame MJ? I mean, you gonna be passing a bunch of scrubs, bro. Bunch of crackhead scrubs. Well, you can make you can make them better, man. You like like you know if MJ hold if MJ is taking a lot of attention like he’s going to draw a second defender, right? So, someone’s going to be someone’s going to be watching. Someone’s gonna be ball watching. You have if Michael Jordan, especially horrible teammates, bro. No. Well, I agree, but I’m saying like you still Well, so did um LeBron James, right, in that 2007 final. That’s why No, no. I said that. I don’t blame like when LeBron like times when he didn’t pass, I I mean, well, he’s a very passive player, but them times when he didn’t pass, I was like, “Yeah, just take it to the rack, bro. Like, don’t pass them scrubs, bro.” Yeah. Yeah. Well, it’s about just being efficient, right? You can’t just go score, score, score, score. Like, you have to have good defense off a little. Yeah. And that’s true. MJ was Yeah. And player one is right about that. I just want Cam I just wanted Cam’s assist numbers to go up in terms of like give the ball to Claxton at least or Cam Johnson or something. Yeah. You ain’t got to pass the thing is is Cam Thomas playing for a contract, right? Or is he actually want his money? Yeah, that’s the thing. There’s a difference between playing for a contract and playing winning basketball. But there’s no expect that that’s the thing. There’s no expectations for him. Like there’s no there’s no uh uh go out there, be the best player, and go win a championship. So there’s no expectations. He’s on a bad team. So it’s just like, “All right, pay me my money.” Yeah. I don’t know. That’s why I said I can’t compare the two because Kaming is in a different situation. He’s on a team that’s built championships before. So yeah, him demanding his money, they’re going to look at it as, “All right, you’re not Kevin Durant.” So that’s how that’s their standards of it. Like Cam, I don’t know why they don’t want to pay Cam. I mean, we have nothing else. So I mean, we’re kind of forced to pay Cam. end up if you actually if if he was to go to other teams, you know, like let’s say if he goes to go Warriors like Jimmy Butler and who who knows what happened with Jimmy Butler in the playoffs, he could have been injured, right? Nobody goes out there and say, “Yo, I’m dealing with a knee injury, man.” They were like, “What?” Oh, hell yeah. Sample size. It was actually a 25 game sample size. That’s how many games he played in the beginning of the season, bro. So, what are you talking about? Was that before he got hurt? before Kam got hurt, he played like 20 something games in the beginning of the season. Yeah. Yeah. And about like I think in the playoffs he played while Steve Curry was praising him. Oh, I should have played him more. He he actually got to say about that. Kerr went back on his statement was like, “Oh, I should have played him more earlier.” Yeah. I should have played him all the way back in the Rocket series. Yeah. And you actually look at Well, he actually did play in the Rocket S in Rocket Series a little bit. I mean, hardly though, but but yeah, in in the next series. Yeah, you’re right. He was like he was keeping him in games though, man. But again, like Steve Cerr, right, stunt his confidence so much like you know it causes you to overthink, right? And you have to play instinctual, man. You can’t be overthinking or looking over to the coach. Oh, if I I make this this pass and it doesn’t, you know, like players are going to make mistakes, man. We’ve seen like plenty of players, you know, over the years playing basketball. I mean, I mean, That that that’s true. I mean, but Kerr Kerr has lifted up Kaminga, but then trashed it on him before. I mean, that’s what Kerr does. He try he he’ll pick up a young player and then trash him later on. Like, that’s what he does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s cuz he’s just in love with Steph Curry. That’s all it is. But again, Steph Curry’s getting older and you know, Steph Curry’s more, you know, is definitely more prone to injury now, especially that he’s getting older. Any player like any player can get hurt, right? So, it’s also good to have like a backup. Um, but like I said, we seen players make mistakes and no no LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Kobe. I mean, all these guys made mistakes, man. And look at Shaq. I was watching uh I was re-watching that game with Dennis Rodman. It was really more of a team defense concept. The Dennis Rodman held Shaq to zero points in the third quarter, you know. But, see, Shaq, that was a young Shaq and he didn’t really know how to read defenses. They would like double team him then fake like they were going to double team him then go single coverage and then so um you know you gota just got to definitely adjust though man you know so um I mean he if if Cam wants to go he can go I really I don’t care bro I really don’t care if he leaves doesn’t matter to me yeah and that’s the thing too though man As long as we get something like better, like I’m cool. Well, what about Nick Claxton in this trade over here? They talk about Let me see. They talk about No, I want to get rid of Claxton, too. Like, but I don’t think it will happen like I think it’ll happen probably the trade deadline. I don’t know. But it’s looking like they probably gonna keep Claxton. Yeah. I mean, he does he does he have any value around the league though, man. Or or after that performance he did that season? No. They said he was he was battling a back injury, right? I mean, anytime a player plays bad, they want to blame it on injuries. It’s just it’s just no it’s just no question. It’s just not like, oh, you just was had a bad season. It just can’t be that. It just can’t be a bad season. So, they says over here then the Bulls get Glax and then he talking about some Oh, I had an injury. Bro, you just w you just old. Just say you’re old, bro. Just say you’re old and washed up, bro. He says if you want a Kaminga type player go sign precious on a vet minimum at least precious plays elite defense and when Kaminga’s defense elite defense what on Tibs if he was playing elite defense man Tibs would definitely be playing him way is garbage bro even Hold first of all his defense hasn’t even been good since he left the Miami Heat. What are you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. He would definitely be playing, you know, more, you know. I don’t know about elite defense, but talking about he gave he gave he put up 15 points. Okay. And and and Kaminga put up them numbers on less minutes. So imagine if he imagine if he was playing on 25 30 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was averaging 25 points to 30 in the playoffs. You think Precious True is doing that? Hell no. I mean, again, it could be a confidence thing, right? I mean, he was doing well in uh Miami, so then he comes to the I want Giddy. I ain’t gonna lie. Is Giddy still free agent? They saying Yeah. It looks like they’re going to I want to take either Giddy or Kobe White on this team, bro. Yeah, but we don’t need no more. Same thing with Josh Giddy. Like Josh Giddy goes to like a loaded uh um OKC team, right? who already has like Shay, so he doesn’t really get time to really flourish and showcase what he can actually really do. But I guess in a limited sample size that you actually So what do they what do you actually see in Josh Giddy that you don’t see in uh Cam Thomas though? Cuz like um playmaking, defense, how to run the floor, um how to how to work in pick and roll. I think honestly he’s I think Giddy’s is sort of clutch in certain situations. Not like fully clutch, but in certain situations he can get you a bucket though. Okay. Yeah, I think he’s taller too, right? What’s he like 67, right? He’s like 68. 68. So Lucas around the same like Yeah. Average NBA height is about 66 67 and he’s like point like he’s a real Yeah. dynamic. Yeah. Yeah, quick too. I think he’s I think he’s faster than Cam. Yeah, definitely, man. Cam is is is definitely slow, man. Um the Lakers don’t want Clax. They already signed. Uh I think I think Giddy’s uh reaction reaction time is a little bit quicker than Clax. I mean, uh Cam Thomas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. Um like I said, whoever scor I mean, that’s all Cam has over Giddy, though. That’s all. That’s all. Yeah. And like I said, whoever taught Cam Thomas how to play, they they did him dirty, man. You know, like they uh didn’t really teach him how to like He should have been a point guard. I mean, to me, that’s just me. He should have been a point guard. You say that because of his height. Yeah. Well, how tall really is he? Cuz everybody says 6’4, 6’3, 6’2. Well, Drock um he listens to the show. He he stood next to him and took a picture with him. And this was like six months ago or seven months ago. He showed the picture on the show and Drock is 61 6 foot and you know like Cam Thomas wasn’t that much taller than him cuz I thought I thought Kyrie Urban was like 6’3 and a half maybe but yeah he’s like 6’1 so I mean Cam probably what 6’2 yeah 61 6’2ish yeah at the two guard position is is it is it is it Like I mean we already have Jagor. So do you put Cam at the point guard this season? I don’t know. That’s the thing man. I mean what’s the actual um mission statement for for the Brooklyn Nets? Sean Marks can just easily go to Jody Fernandez and say hey I want you to develop you know like the priority is Jagor. I just I don’t know. I I mean the book is still like the juryy’s still out on him for me. I I see him as a rookie rookie Rubio type of player. Um, I will see him Ricky Rubio, man. Like a taller Ricky Rubio like a, you know, garbage. I’m not saying he’s trash. It’s just more like a a good backup, like a solid backup point guard or like, you know, because like I said, you need scoring, man. you need like elite if you’re going to be like an really elite passer you got to be able to draw a second defender you know like or like you have to be so elite offensively like you’ll get someone like let’s say ball watching where that player can cut you know and he can just make like p bounce passes and get like layups. I just don’t see that in in uh you know even like like I don’t I bring up Ben Simmons right? Oh here we go. Yo, they had to put like bigger like defenders on Ben like like when you was watching them with the Brooklyn Nets, right? They had to put like uh Evan Mobley on him. Giannis was guarding him the whole game, you know, like with like let’s say you have Jagor, right? You know, as a starting point guard, you know, do you got to put a bigger defender on him? Like, is he really that much of a scoring threat? You got to be able to score, too. It’s not just passing, passing, passing. Like today’s NBA, you gotta really go out there and just score, man. Yeah. And that’s who I compare him to though. Uh, player one defense, too. Yeah. Defensively, right? I just And then where’s it like the definition like the muscle definition, man? I just he looks like he said uh Claxton talking about Lakers on who won Claxton. If they if they wanted him, they would have probably made a move for him. So, I don’t really Yeah. Yeah. I mean, come up here and say this play this team wants him. Well, then why haven’t they made a move on him then? Like, y’all just believe anything y’all see on the internet? Yeah, I just they Yeah, actual rumors over here, man. So, this this deal might actually happen though since that Jonathan Kaminga really doesn’t want to be with the Golden State Warriors. You know, this deal is the only thing cuz there’s nothing on the horizon right out there for the Brooklyn Nets and 2026. Um, even though they may, let’s say they do have cap space in 2027, there’s no guarantee that the Brooklyn Nets are going to really get one of those those those free agents, man. Right. This year, we didn’t get nobody. Yeah, exactly. So, like the best thing for me is they go out there, get Jonathan Kaminga. He’s 23 years old. The upside is actually really there. Now, the scary part is is that does Jonathan Kaminga really get his money right and then take his foot off the gas? As you actually look at like uh Cam Thomas, they’re talking about $65 million in California, you know, with state taxes. Oh, man. That money gets cut in half, man. Big time. It’s like probably like 28 30 something million dollars out of taxes. So, if I’m Cam Thomas, I don’t want to go to California. I mean, New York is bad, too, but not as bad as California, man. I mean, he’s Is he gonna I mean, is he gonna get more than what he’s getting if he stays here? Cuz what? Four years, 65 million. So, what do we offer him? Anything? We didn’t offer him. Yeah. Yeah. Two years was like two years, 28 million, 14 million a season. So, how much does he want? Does he want does he 100 million 30 million a year for four years? Yep. That [ __ ] smoking. That’s the thing. I mean, he hasn’t made an all-star team. He hasn’t even sniffed the all-star team. Like they he hasn’t been any type of allstar conversation. And the same thing goes with Kamea. So I can’t pick on like he only him and Giddy only asked for 25 million at first. I don’t know what it is now, but at first it was 25 million. Yeah. And I I I think I don’t know if if uh John de Kaminga is actually really willing to budge, though. Um I think maybe out of these three, Giddy’s probably the only one that’s probably willing to budge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they have to understand that they haven’t really played a lot of games. Well, we seen like like I said like what Jonathan Kaminga the career Cam I think Cam has played more like he I think he started a lot more than what Kaminga has. Yeah. And then with Cam Thomas, right? It’s so many there’s so much talent like let’s say you know like positionally it’s not just like you know back in the days you just had a big man. And it was like one like the offenses that the players back then were like one dimens like you had like there’s guys like Paulo Beno um who’s 610 611 250 they he could put the ball you like you can’t hide like a guy like Cam Thomas who’s undersized like he’ll get put on to switches against like you know bigger players like a Jaylen Brown, a Jason Tatum, Anthony Edwards And then you actually have to go out there, you have to send help. And you know, you see how elite these these these guys shooting three-pointers around the league is, man. You know, so he he’s slow like on defense. He doesn’t have the foot speed to really chase like three-point shooters off the line. Look at Nas Reed. Like look how quickly he gets his shot off, man. Like you got to, you know, with him, you got to be in the shooting pocket of him, man. You got to be right there with him. and and let’s say a guy like Nas Reed, right? He’ll just put the ball on the floor and he’ll have a field day field day. I mean, he’ll score like 24 25 point 25 points on 14 15 field goal attempts, man. I mean, he’ll have like the the one of the highest efficient efficiency efficient scoring in NBA history if you got Cam Thomas there. There’s just so many guys that are just like um talented back in the days. You can like in the 90s you could hide a guy like Cam Thomas by putting him on like Sam Perkins or something like that, right? Who’s just a guy like that could just shoot threes, but he doesn’t put the ball on the floor. Um, you know, you could do that today. No, man. Like you look at Jayen McDaniels, he could put the ball on the floor and and just Cam Thomas just doesn’t have the the physicality, the length to really go out there and and, you know, um, put any type of resistance on those type of guys, man. It just do you think um he can he can become a scrappy defender? I don’t know, man. I don’t see like a Payton Pritchard or Dennis Shruder type defender. That’s another thing, too. He’s on the size and he should be able to pick up like I don’t see I don’t think he has the athleticism, man. I I don’t see it. But neither did uh Shruder. Shruder didn’t have the athleticism. Well, that’s why he’s been shipped around to like eight, nine different teams, though, man. I think Listen, I think even last year I mean I mean outside of defense I mean Shruder doesn’t really do anything else that’s good. Let’s be honest. He’s okay. I mean it’s just size again. It’s just like again this is the 1990s. You could take Shruder. You could hide Shuda. He’s just you know like you got so many offensive minded Well I mean Payton Pritchard is is shorter than both of them. So I mean he’s a I think he’s a better defender than both of them. Yeah. and he take but he has the foot speed like like you know some people are flatfooted and they just don’t have the foot. You don’t think Cam can get a bit faster and that way he can be a scrappy defender? He can I I think he has to turn into at least somewhat of a defender like something, bro. An effort defender, a willing defender or a or just a scrappy defender, bro. Cuz I don’t see him I don’t whatever team whatever this roster looks like. I don’t see him starting if he’s not being able to do those things. Is you I mean can you say the same thing about like a Kyle Corbett? Do you have can you go out there and say can he ever be a scrappy defender? We look at Cal Corb and nah. I mean maybe but I mean that’s only if he’s willing to I mean he’s been here all these years and he hasn’t really shown that he’s willing to play that that type of defense. Nah. No. That’s the thing. I mean sure like I said a little bit but it’s so so many guys like he can’t they like I said he like Anthony Edwards it’s like Gary Payton. You put like like Gary Payton is actually one of the like the greatest defenders in NBA history. Right. If you say go up there and lock up LeBron James, that’s not happening. So, this is so many guys like you might make LeBron work a little bit, but that’s it. Yeah, that’s about it, though. I mean, yeah, he’s not going to like like LeBron to have a field day on him pretty much. I mean, he’s 69. I don’t think anybody I don’t think we want like Cam to go out there and hold somebody to zero. You can’t do that. You can’t. No. Well, no. No. I mean I mean Yeah, that’s the thing. But it’s like there’s like there’s so many guys. Let me think, man. Um, Paulo Ben Carol, I mean, Evan Mobley, right? They they run so many ball screens. It’s easy for Cam Thomas to get switched on to one of those guys and they’ll start salivating, man. You know, I picture you going out there and playing like uh an 11 year old kid, man. Right. It’s just so easy for you to score and you just overpower them, right? It it it’s Yeah. Cam Cam Thomas really can’t like even he was like a willing defender. There’s just so many guys that’s just so much more athletically gifted than him. He said uh uh there’s no excuse for CT not to improve defensively when guys like TJ McCollum and and Percher play defense. I agree with that player one. Yeah. I I don’t understand how I mean does he like not want to learn the defense? He just want to go out there and score cuz I think personally I think he’s too heavy though, man. You know, I I really think he’s too heavy. You think he’s too heavy? Yeah. How much does he weigh? Get down to like 195. He’s 205. Oh no. It would be even the defense will look even worse if he drops his No, but at least his lateral movement would actually be better hopefully. Right. For him to be a guard and he moves like he’s not like fat. I don’t know, bro. That’s Yeah, that was one of that was one of the reasons why he fell in the draft because of like he’s just let me pull up the scout report. He’s just not quick that like dynamic. He’s just doesn’t really have that I think on the perimeter he’s not. But when he has the ball in his hands in the mid-range, I think he is. Yeah. Yeah. But it’s it’s basically off of craftiness like pump fakes, you know, like dribble, stop, dribble again, like like how how Jaylen Brunson would would drive, you know, come up out of that uh uh athletic stance and then like once a lot of microwave scoring scorers, bro, that’s a dying like breed. Cam Thomas, was it Scott report? Yeah. Like who who else is in the league? Yeah, somebody name him. Who else in the league that’s a microwave scorer? Like uh it was Jordan Clarkston. I think he was he was there. He was labeled like that. And where’s he at right now, man? No, I’m talking about he didn’t really Does he is he signed yet? Because there was one of the things too. Did he get Actually, he was a free agent and he didn’t get signed yet, I think. No, you talking about Jordan? Yeah, he already signed with the Knicks. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. And it’s just like I said, mostly wired to score. And again, this is the key thing, his mindset, man. his mindset is to go out there and score. Like everybody, you know, who plays basketball, no matter what level, you know, they fall in love with the game, you know, for different reasons. Some guys, you know, like to go out there entertain like you look at the An guys, their thing was like basketball entertainment, you know, and everybody falls in love with basketball for different reasons. So, his mindset is just really to go out there and actually score, man. You know, that’s what makes him happy, I guess. And it says over here, not the not the fastest or most dynamic player. And we got to go off the scout report because he didn’t really like get much time to really improve on a lot of these weaknesses over here, man. Um, again, again, this is another thing like being able to actually explode through contact, right? He doesn’t really. You see Donovan Mitchell like he can dunk on like a 7 foot, you know, 270 pound guy, right? Cam can’t really do that. The floater has to be there. Um, honestly, I think we stuck with I think we just stuck with him. The three-point shooting for Cam Thomas, right? If you’re und size, you need to be at to me 39% 40% from the three-point line just doesn’t he doesn’t pick up like 94 feet. You look at DaVon Mitchell like I was like I’m like oh this is what Cam Thompson need to really do like be like like in terms of defense be able to pick up like 94 feet. I’m not saying you got to do that the whole game but you know uh he needs to be somewhat of like of a the defensive disruptor. And let’s see over here. Man doesn’t pass much when he gets to the ball. when he when he gets the when he gets the ball, he usually is looking to let it fly a black hole offensively. So when he does pass, right, uh DJ, he’s just really throwing grenades pretty much, right? I believe that. I mean, yeah. I think it’s a lot of gren I mean, if you watch his game, it’s a lot of grenades he throws up. Yeah. Yeah. And even passing too, man. because I think like his thing is to go out there and dribble the air out of out of the shot like when you was watching him he was doing that right and um but let’s not act we let’s not act like he can he’s like a like one of the greatest scorers I mean he still has a lot of work behind scoring like yeah yeah like even though he he can score in the mid-range I mean I still think his three-point shot is not all that good yeah is over here not a developer player so it’s like D’Angelo Russell man like you’re never going to make D’Angelo Russell uh into like a a great defensive player. Never. I just you just look at he doesn’t have the like the foot speed for it, man. He just doesn’t. I think it’s the same thing with Cam Thomas, though. I mean, he’s he has more athleticism athleticism than D’Angelo, but it’s not really by that much, though. It’s not like it’s like a wide margin. I think the le I think that a lot of the fans need to realize that players like him aren’t going to be looked at as stars or superstars. Yeah, sure. your eyes maybe that’s not the reality of it. Yeah. Yeah, man. So, reality is if you’re looking like the league is viewing him as a six-man. So, I mean I mean and starting because there’s nobody else on your roster. Yeah. this and this is a scouting report actually coming out of college on him and he hasn’t really shown much to it doesn’t matter what I think or DJ or or what the fans actually think is what you know you know other general managers really think that’s really going to pay this man and you know let’s look up what the definition of empty calorie stats actually means over here man because that’s what Cam Thomas was actually putting up empty yeah let’s see empty calorie stats Then um who who’s the guy that called out Cam? Didn’t he call him empty stats? Yeah, that was Zach Low. Yeah, Zach Low. Yeah. Yeah. So, it says empty calorie stats statistics primarily scoring that doesn’t contribute significantly to significantly to winning games. These stats are often seen from players on losing teams who or or those who focus on individual performance rather than team success. Empty calories in basketball mirror the concept of Yes. So yeah, basically it’s like, you know, eating sugar pretty much like a donut rather than eating something like really. Yeah, I guess that’s the analogy they really using over here, man. Um I I thought Demard Rosen was an empty stat player. Yeah. Yeah. Not on the Raptors, but everything before that. Yeah. Yeah. So that’s that’s uh it says stats don’t lie. Stats can be misleading over here, man. But yeah, but this is basically what Cam Thomas is, right? Again, if he was to go to like different teams on you on like let’s say like like championship winning teams or teams that’s in the third or fourth seed, then he’s actually coming off the bench for the most part, man. So, Jonathan, what’s good, man? What you got to the convers? What you got to the conversation, man? And the trade room is over here. I think this could go down over here. Oh man, I want another player out of that deal though. I am at this point. Listen, I would take because you already have a guy like Michael Porter Jr. there, right? Who can help uh space the floor out for No, I’m saying like I want like in that deal. I I just specifically want Giddy in that deal as well. Possible. I am. This is my fourth show right now. Scott, so wait, what’s the deal again, BK? What’s the deal again? All right. So, the proposed trade breakdown would be Warriors get Cam Thomas via sign and trade uh 64 years 65 million. The Bulls get Nick Claxton. Josh Giddy’s going to resign with the Bulls at four years $98 million. And John de Kaminga to the Nets at four years 84 million. Uh Nico Nola Vuit that’s probably a buyout candidate. They probably Yeah, they buy him out, let him go to anybody wants and then we get a pick, right? A pick at least. No, I’m keeping No, I would keep Vovich for that year. Yeah, exactly. I would too. Yeah, as sparring salary. Yeah, but I wouldn’t do if we get better than Oh, he puts up 18 and 10. That’s better than Claxton. Yeah, I agree with I agree with you, but I could see different scenarios where they either could keep him for the expiring salary or they just buy him out because they also have Claxton, you have Danny Wolf, you have Tim, you have so many guys to the right. All right, in this scenario, so VI would be the veteran start. Okay, I’m open to it. Dron’s the backup. Wolf could be the four. Okay, I’m I’m open to that potentially. The only thing is I just don’t see the Nets having any interest in Kaminga. So far, it seems like the Suns and the Kings have been the main biders. The Nets really I heard they were interested but it was never like I’m seriously interested. Yeah, but now listen both of these players right now are disgruntled. Like Cam Thomas unfollowed the Nets like on everything. He’s pissed. Well, Kaminga hasn’t done none of that, right? What’s the money? What’s the money Kaminga’s getting in that deal from from us? Hypothetically, four years 84 million. Yeah, they’re not going to give him that. They’re not going to give him that with how they’re doing Thomas. Yeah, but I I just think Sean Mars is way too cheap right now with the money. I just don’t see him even doing that unfortunately. Was 100 mil. There’s nobody. There’s nothing on the horizon out there, man. There’s nothing in 2026. I mean, is he really cheap like that? I mean I mean he gave um what was it? Didn’t he pay uh Cam Johnson? Yeah, he gave Cam Johnson uh uh he signed him for four years. Was it three? No, what was it? I forgot. I forgot the actual deal that he gave me. It was a It was It was a good amount though. And then we resigned scrubs like Dron and Zia Williams. Like come on, bro. Yeah. But like I said, like John, where’s Jonathan at? Yeah. Jonathan, you there? Something happened with his connection. But no, but his So Cam Thomas right now is disgruntled, right? If I’m Sean Marx, I wouldn’t want him back. The the bridge is burned. um both of these guys in terms of Kaminga and uh and uh I think with the I think honestly the Kaminga thing is it’s possibly it’s possibly salvageable because he his only problem is with uh Kerr that as that’s as far as we as we know it’s with Ker. Yeah, but then you got to look at the the the the management. Have have they been backing him up? Right. Well, he’s he’s good. He’s good. He’s uh they said he’s close with the um owner and the GM. So, I don’t know. I just know that he doesn’t really like they’re not going to fire I mean it would be bad optics to really fire Steve Kerr I I mean or like Kaminga who isn’t really like if it was like Ant-Man like Anthony Edwards like Paulo Ben Carol or like Donovan Mitchell and he’s fed up with like Steve Kerr these guys have proven they all star then I’m like but Jonathan Kaminga yeah but the way the way Kaminga Kaminga is kind of being humble about it like he’s not going on the internet saying things like Cam is going on the internet saying Yeah. Like he’s like he’s openly public with it. Like at least Kamika is just letting other people speculate. Oh, I mean he’s saying they’re saying over here he doesn’t want to be back. Is that true or not? I mean is that definitive or I mean he hasn’t said anything. Yeah. I think this is all speculation, man. But if Kaminga doesn’t want to be back, right? You know, you want you don’t want to um uh came out here unfollowing the net. Then he put something he put something on his uh story yesterday, too. I heard Oh, yeah. Like what? Uh it was like a a clip of like a movie or something like that and it was like him calling out like, “Oh, I’m betting on myself or something.” It was something along those lines. I don’t know, man. Again, like I said, like Shawn Mark can go out there and say, “Hey, you know, you drafted these five picks over here, right? about if you don’t value me then then I’m like I’m leaving something. It was something along those lines like like I’m leaving then that’s what I’m saying. He’s he’s disgruntled man. I just don’t know how Kaminga I got to do some research on Kaminga and Hey Chad Cam out here moving like he’s a superstar or something bro like yeah again like I said he’s never he’s never sniffed an all-star team right never sniffed an all-star team. Never even been MVP conversations. has never been in any of those awards. Like come on, bro. Didn’t make didn’t go to the All-Star game. Like, who does he think he is? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. I just I don’t get it with him, man. I mean, listen, he’s confident, right? That’s one of the things you do need to be a successful basketball player, right? That’s one of the key things is confidence, man. He is confident in himself. He’s um but like he’s just not being smart and whoever’s in his He’s not being humble about it. I think if he was more humble, like if he was maybe humble like how Kaminga and uh Giddy are being and not like taking social media, saying things publicly, then it would be fine. But a lot I seen a lot of N fans off of Cam for this. Oh, really? Okay. Yeah. I was watching something I was watching the Jeff Teague uh um um when Jeff Teague put that thing out there, man. Um about why Cam Thomas is getting the offers he’s actually getting. And if you read the comment sections on on that video, I mean, most of the people in the comment section, I think it was like almost five or 600 comments, they were all against Cam Thomas, man. They said, “Yo, you just you got to do more.” You know, I mean, hey, that that’s a fact, bro. But but Jamal, that’s him. But the way Kaminga is going about it is he’s at least being humb like he’s going to the front office and explaining what he specifically wants. Cam is going to the internet and things and and just Yeah. He’s not doing it in a professional way. Reporters. Yeah. Fighting with Zack. Professional, bro. Yeah. The way Kaminga is doing it, he’s being professional about it. Yeah. Him and Giddy are being professional. Cam is going to the internet, bro. Yeah. I guess he took I guess he took too much advice from with Kyrie, huh? I wouldn’t listen to Kyrie Irving. I mean, what Cam is doing, it’s remind me a lot what Kyrie was doing when uh we wouldn’t pay him. I remember that. Yeah, man. I just Yeah, it’s just he’s not taking any contract y’all offering in the comments, bro. Oh, I want him on this deal. He’s not taking that deal, bro. 18 million. He wants 30 million for four years. That’s what he wants. Yeah, exactly. Get what you want. That’s what guys told me to get, man. He wants He wants his He wants his money, J.R. He wants his money. Same thing Jamal. like he wants his money. He’s looking at himself as one of the top guys in the league and no one can guard him. Delusional as hell. Yeah. And like I said, I mean, what was what? All right. So, what top defensive players around the league that can guard Cam Thomas like straight up single coverage, man. They don’t need to send help. I think Jayen Brown. Um, Drew Holiday. Jaylen Brown. Brown. Jaden McDaniels. Dyson Daniels. Yeah. Nimhart. Um, for sure. Herb Jones cuz he’s saying, oh, every time Jones is like six 67 68. Yeah. Yeah. And can move laterally, man. So, yeah, he can guard a lot of guards. Um what about that uh dude from uh Dallas uh Naji uh Marshall? I think he can guard he can definitely he got some defense. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz he say oh he gets double team. Yeah. I mean if you That’s hardly I think he was I mean at time I didn’t see much doubles right. I didn’t see much doubles this season. Not a lot. Yeah. I think I Oshi Abaji. That’s the dude from uh from the Raptors. He can definitely go cam too. I think that too. Yeah. Scotty Barnes don’t he can actually you saw what he did to James Harden in that pickup game and and Jaylen Suggs Jaylen Suggs definitely has def he maybe uh you don’t have to send help with if Jayen Suggs is guarding him. Yeah, LeBron I think LeBron can still guard him, right? Um because you ain’t moving him. You’re not winning the bumps against moving him. Yeah, I mean to go on the perimeter and do something. Yeah, I see I see I was watching one of the the the team USA scrimmage between Canada and the United States and I seen what AD was doing to Shay. I was like, “Oh shit.” I said, “I didn’t know AD I knew a AD can guard, but I mean he was like causing he switch to that forward spot. Yeah, he can. Yeah. I was like, oh [ __ ] I’m like, damn. That’s why the Lakers are dumb, bro. Should have just kept anything different. Yeah. locker room says the same exact thing, man. Cuz he’s a guy that can give you 25. I like Luka. Like, don’t get me wrong, like getting a you trade Anthony for Luca, that’s a that’s a that’s a steal. But I mean, if you I mean, defense win championships, bro. Yep. Yep. And Luca is like number one in blowbyss, man. So, yeah. So, now it’s going to be even harder for y’all to win a championship because you have to build out that roster with with Luca. Well, we don’t know. I I I look at it. Giovani says if you think the thing is I just I just see higher upside with John Den Kaminga right being that he’s 6’8 he’s 225 pounds right Kaminga’s way better than Ohea yeah he can score the basketball I think more efficiently than than Cam Thomas um and like the limited amount of minutes that he actually has yeah the assist numbers look that he had was a 2.3 assists and like like 20 something minutes per game average. I think if he was to get like 35 40 something well let’s say 35 minutes a game 36 minutes a game those assist numbers will actually go up you know especially if he’s going to be the focal point of of an uh of an offense man I mean you’ll learn quickly you know you’ll get tired of getting double team and people picking your pocket and you know I think if you don’t even want to start him you can you can bring him off the bench as a sixman that’s what a lot of Warriors fans were saying they was like yo Ker you don’t want to start him and we want him back, but just all right. Well, the thing is is that you you ain’t going to play a six-man the type of money that Jonathan Kaminga wants. I mean, why not? I mean, we’ve seen there’s plenty of players that get paid that type of money coming off the bench. Yeah. I mean, Norman Pal was I mean, this whole this whole Second Apron thing, too, man. That’s the thing. Got this whole Second Apron thing. So, it’s like now you got to be like, you know, like if you look at Male Bridges, what he does like off the basketball, like how he contributed, you know, he averaged out. Who would you rather have in that life? Would you have rather have washed up Jimmy Butler or a young promising player in Kaminga? Yeah, but like didn’t do anything. Butler is Butler is more of a proven player, right? Well, that’s the past, BK. I mean, he hasn’t done nothing since. No, I I agree. I’m just saying like it just his whole bio pretty much, man. I mean, you got to go off that. That’s true. I mean, if you’re gonna go off of, you know, uh uh like the history, then Yeah. But yeah, but Jimmy is washed up old. I mean, he hasn’t done anything really since since he left Miami. But that or 2023, Steve Carter was getting frustrated with Jimmy, you know, because he wanted him to go out there. You wouldn’t like doing anything. He wanted he wanted he wanted Jimmy Butler to go out there and like like chuck up shots like like be a Cam Thomas. He’s like Jimmy used to be one of my favorite players, bro. He’s out of that. No. Yeah. He’s not, his mindset is not wired like that, right? His mindset is to really kind of if he sees someone like open or cutting to to actually really pass the ball, not take bad shots, right? He turned he went over there and turned into Draymond. That’s what it was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. On occa like on, you know, at times Jimmy can get you like 30, but like his mindset is not to go out there and score 30 something points a game, man. I mean, that’s that’s what and that’s what Steve Kerr was really trying to do. and he was getting frustrated with Jimmy Butler, you know. So, and that’s gonna see for himself like once you leave that Miami Heat culture, I mean, you ain’t going back, bro. That’s what it is. You’re not going back. Yeah. He says Ty Tyro. Yeah. Tyler Herro was a was a microwave score, but he’s improved his overall game, you know, and again, he’s a turn he’s a different totally different player now. Yeah. Yeah. And and who knows, maybe Cam Thomas, like I said, he’s not willing to listen, man. You know, we seen nothing. You think if he goes to Miami, he could develop. Um, their development system is great. I ain’t gonna lie. We seen Miami, he could develop. Yeah. Turn YouTube down in the background, Gary. That’s my bad. Yeah. Yeah. What’s up, Gary? Yo, what up, DJ? No. Well, Jr. LeBron James actually has to pick his spots. He’s not going to be able to defend for like 35 minutes a game. But yeah, that was a bad take. I mean, LeBron is not a When is LeBron been a good defender? That was a bad Miami and only Miami. Yeah. Yeah. Only Miami. Well, he had help in Miami. He didn’t really have help in Cleveland, man. Like, like never guarded the best player on the other team. Not even when he was Well, he has to carry an offense. He has to carry. You go out. Listen, I Gary, I challenge you, right, to go out there, play play three on three basketball or four and four or five on five and all your team is is is guys who only played a year of basketball, right? And then go out there, have to score all the points and then go out there and defend. You’re going to be gassed by the first game, man. It’s hard. All right. What about when he had Kyrie? Kyrie’s not a great defender. No, I’m saying when he had Kyrie, he had somebody to help him on the offensive end. He didn’t do anything. He was a horrible defender in Cleveland when Kyrie was there. Nah, I seen LeBron. He had chase down blocks and everything. Chase down blocks. That’s it though, right? Like come on. Like if you get if I cook, but then you get a chase down. Well, again, you like I seen Kevin Durant like when he was with Brooklyn like he didn’t like the first three quarters Kevin Durant didn’t really guard play defense, but in the fourth quarter in the game I saw Kevin Durant guarding at a high level. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but Chase Down’s blocks is a is a it’s a it’s a grind, man. It’s 82 games plus you got the playoffs, man. You can’t just It’s a marathon. Like you you you go running a marathon, you’re not going to try to you got to pace yourself. Like the New York City marathon, 26 miles. Kobe Bean Bryant play 36 38 minutes every game and guard the best player on the other team. Yeah, but that’s why his body broke down though, man. Did Kevin Garnett do it? This is why LeBron is still playing, right? Exactly. Oh, he’s still playing, right? You just said he’s still playing and he hasn’t won anything since 2020. Yeah. I mean, yeah, look, look, come on. Look at the team around him, man. But no, that’s what I’m saying. He’s He’s still playing and he and he’s playing basically for nothing. If Luca Luca, not Luca, if if Austin Reeds keeps getting cooked, right? He can’t guard a He’s a cone on defense. So, you don’t think LeBron is playing for nothing right now? Like, he’s just out there just be out there just for attention? I don’t know what Maybe he loves the game that much, man. Um, no, he’s 40. He’s about to be 58. Like he’s so old. He’s been in league for like a hundred years now. What do you think about this whole What do you actually think about this this uh trade rumor over here? Blockbuster three team deal lands the Warriors. Uh Cam Thomas. So what do you think, man? John Kaminga swap. Jonathan Kaminga comes to the Brooklyn Nets. Cam Thomas goes to the Warriors and Claxton goes to the Bulls. Then we get uh Vuitic. Uh Vuic’s on expiring deal, right? Yeah. Yeah. One year. Yeah. Let’s just do it. Like let’s just do it. Like to get like if you got Kaminga and you got Porter Jr. You’ve got your role players. You got really high level role players. Now you just need to go get your star two years from now. That’s if you can get them, man. I mean I I remember the Knicks back in the day. Right now I remember the Knicks. Right now we got Right now we have I agree with Gary saying we right now we have we have no that’s what I’m saying it makes sense just to get Kaminga man you know and I know a lot of guys but there’s nobody I was saying this in you know about 25 minutes ago there’s nobody else out there on the horizon who’s going unless you get AJ Demonster or Cameron Boozer you know and that’s that’s cross your fingers right they only got one pick you know so um I don’t No, I mean I think John I believe we’ll get more picks for 2026 though. Yeah, that’s true too cuz if you can get Don if you can get if you can get John Den Kaminga on the team and then you got like a AJ Deansa or a Darren Peterson and or Cameron I like Cameron Boozer really like the best like out of all those those three, you know. Um cuz he could actually play face up basketball and he could play with his back to the basket. You know, I don’t I don’t know if AJ Debons can really do that. He can play with like a like a post up, smaller guys, footwork, jump hooks. Um we’ll see. We’ll see. I’ll watch him in college. Definitely going to be watching AJ, all three of these guys, Darren Peterson and uh AJ Demonster and Cameron Boozer. Like I I don’t want to like another pick. We already have five rookies this year. How many rookies you want to bring in next year? You know what I’m saying? Like Well, if you got a chance to get AJ Deansa, you move heaven and earth. Yeah. No, you do. But that’s You’re not going to get AJ Debansa by adding more picks. We’re going to get AJ Debansa by moving up. Right. So like I’ll give No, they got to be bad. They got to be in that in that that um um they got to be a if they make the playoffs, right? Somehow if Boston misses uh the playoffs, if Boston’s in the lottery, they’ll give the first pick to Boston. Uh yeah, I mean, well, listen, from what I understand, right, what about the lottery? It’s like a raffle system, right? Like I’ve been involved in raffles. I hate raffles because it’s random. You could you could buy 500 tickets in a raffle, you know, and the one the person that purchased one ticket can actually just the NBA draft the NBA just puts you where they want to put you. They just let you pick where they want to have you pick. Well, I don’t know. I mean, you want you want Coopa flag in in Dallas? I’d rather have him in New York or LA. That was part of the agreement for Luca. That was No. Why would you I mean, it’s only only unless like you have a good team though, BK. You don’t send him to New York. They have Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis. Yeah, they have Anthony Davis. Yeah, that’s why they sent him there. You don’t send him there to a to a Nets team with Cam Thomas. The NBA I guarantee is how it went. The NBA is like, “You’re going to trade Luca to No. Even Zion, I mean, with all his stardom, I mean, like the the hype that was come. Do you want him in New Orleans, though?” Yeah. Why not? No. I mean, I think that was rigged because they didn’t want New York to have talent either. Yeah. No, I’m saying in terms of like New York is good. You saw how there was people there was old ladies talking about I listen to to people’s conversations man and old ladies old men were talking about the Knicks man because the hype was so real. Imagine Zion on there. Let me ask you about this. Let me let me ask you this. The NBA can rig their own draft, right? It’s their draft. It’s entertainment. They can rig their own draft, right? Well, it’s it the NBA classifies itself as entertainment. So if they if they want to rig it, they can rig it. Why wouldn’t they? Like why if you can, why wouldn’t you? I’m just to me, I would want Zion in New York. The Knicks I mean, he had a chance to go to But if you want to have him in New York, you have to have a team around him. No, but the hype. No, it’s not even about the team. It’s about like the actual um storylines. Um Yeah, the story lines is going to be he’s on a bad team for for a couple years. The media hype, right? And I know the team was bad, but yeah, I mean, he would want to be there like he would have been more incentivized to be in shape. Well, that off season the Knicks were supposed to get Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Zion Williamson, and they ended up getting RJ Barrett and Julius Randle. The summer of the Knicks. Exactly. So, that’s what I’m saying. And that and that that would have lit up because like I said, the Knicks going damn near going to the finals this year, right? Everybody was on the Knicks, man. All women, like women, people I know for a fact that don’t follow basketball. I know that bad. That would have been bad headlines, though, because you would have had Zion in New York where it’s enhanced even more to where he’s he’s out he’s always injured. He’s out of shape. No, no, he would have been in shape. He didn’t want to he didn’t want to go to the Pelicans. You think Wait, wait, hold on. You think he was having problems staying in shape in college? Yeah, but I think if you get at some point I I believe you get tired of getting injured, you know. I don’t know. Obviously, you don’t I mean, you’re just getting paid just to sit on sidelines. I mean, anybody would take that. Yeah, that’s true, too. You know, so so getting back to this Cam Thomas thing. So, you would you want to like Yeah, he’s a fan favorite, man. Would you want to see Cam Thomas go or I don’t want to like I I don’t want to see him go, but like So, there’s two things here. If you said to me, “We’re gonna trade him.” In essence, we’re gonna trade him for Jonathan Kaminga. Would you make that trade? Yeah. Nine out of nine times, I’d make that trade. Of course, I would. 100% I’d make that trade. But if you read the comment section from like guys like player one basketball, um, you haven’t seen a large sample size of Jonathan Kaminga. So, you wouldn’t want to give him like a fouryear contract. What was it over here? Hold on. If you if you’re talking about giving Kaminga four years 100 million. No, not 100 million. No, four years 84 million. Like that’s a no-brainer. 100%. 100%. That’s not a lot of money. That’s not a lot of money. That’s not bad. Yeah. Now 100 million I get it. Like that’s like I’d give I’d give I’d give him 100 million without a doubt. No doubt. Like if Yeah. But you’re basing that off of upside though, right, Gary? Look, if I’m if I’m looking to contend, the third best player on your team makes way more than $25 million. Michael Porter Jr. was the third or fourth best player on a championship caliber team. He made $40 million. Muel Bridges is the fifth best player, sixth best player on competing team. He’s just got paid $40 million, right? So, you’re saying if I’m a championship team, can I pay Kaminga $30 million? Yeah, you better. Like it at $30 million you’re paying him to be your third best player. Like that’s what Well, I I don’t know if he I mean I don’t know if he can be I don’t know if he’s wired to be like that like a like a third best guy cuz he has to play who’s who who’s better OG or Kaminga. Um in my opinion Kaminga, but OG has kind of toss up though, right? Like OG has the better defense though. It’s close though, right? OG makes 40 million. They’re about the same. I would say I agree with you. I Me personally, I think OG is overpaid for what he does on the court. He does, but the Knicks have cuz they they feel the same that in terms of like their career numbers, both of them are average like 12 12 and a half points a game career-wise. But isn’t Kamingos at like 15? OG’s always been like around 12. Yeah, Permanent Midnight. There was It wasn’t just this channel. There was other there was other um uh um OG doesn’t really do anything. Yeah. Yo talking about the exact same scenario but it is a good trade though. I mean even though like yeah they could be India times could be uh scum of the earth and it’s a joke but this is actually really really really a good trade. I mean I think everybody in this scenario really gets what they want. My thing is I want Claxton off the team right. Yeah. I didn’t want I want Claxton off. Yeah. And and me personally, I mean, I I kind of agree with everything with Gary say. Me personally, I just don’t care if Cam leaves. I just I really don’t. I mean, if he wants to I mean, it seemed like it’s just it’s just the bridge is burned. It’s over. Yeah. It says Giovality is he wants to leave, so let him go. I mean, I mean, what else can you do? I mean, he hasn’t really done anything for us. I mean, besides put up a couple points, but well, say I mean, if if Cam Thomas is healthy, and that’s another thing. I mean, he he’s hurt. Can he carry a a a team like we look, we saw Kyrie Irving, right? Kyrie Irving this past season when Luca got traded and AD went went down with his injury. Yeah, Kyrie was the focal point of every single offensive and possession, right? He had to carry the team offensively because he was the only guy on that team that could initiate offense and then he had the guard on the other end and then he blew out his knee, you know. So, you got to be built a certain way, man. We seen this with like Cam isn’t built that way though, BK. So, yeah. At least not maybe not of yet or maybe one day, but we he’s not right now. He’s not that player. Yeah, man. I mean, you agree with me? What about the Luca contract? Why is he only taking three years? What What’s with that? Cuz he’s supposed to resign in the uh on the back end and recoup the money that he would actually lose in that he would that he lost in Dallas. Yeah. So he would like Yeah. They’re supposed to get like because he’s going to get even more now. Yeah. I just don’t think he’s worth that kind of money. That’s why the Mavs train. That’s like my concern is did the Lakers not want to give him five years or does he not want five years? No. No. the contract is structured. That’s just how the contract they could have offered him five years. He took he he agreed to a three-year deal. Maybe maybe because they want to build out the roster for him. So that’s probably why he took that. Yeah, he did. He would start it would have been even harder for him. If I’m a fat drunk that doesn’t take care of myself, I’m not turning down the extra years. I’m just not doing it. You know what I’m saying? But if you have But would you turn it down if you have a chance to win a championship now? You can build out the roster a bit more. I think I think Rob Pinka and Shawn LeBron DeAndre Aen is on a cheap deal. I mean, he’s not really on there. I would have said this. You want me to sign the extension? Get get rid of LeBron James now. Bring me something else that I can win with. If you do that, I I’ll take you I’ll take I’ll take the the pay cut. That’s what I would say. But you got to get Brian off the team. I can’t win with him. I mean, who’s really going to trade for Giovanni man with Yiannis he can’t really shoot it’s not not you build a wall around it’s it’s a team defense concept that that stops Giannis OG noi single coverage and Giannis man I’m sorry I I I don’t see that I mean OG OG is really not even on that good of a three-point shooter no he’s talking about that that OG can uh um lock down Giannis what when the team was decimated man they didn’t really he didn’t really have anything else Man OG lock up Yiannis. What are they talking about? Yeah. Yeah. What are they talking about? Yeah. We were talking about We were talking about OG Anobi about five minutes ago. So they just ref they just kind of comment. They talking nonsense. That’s what they name. The OG the OG and um um uh what’s his name? Jonathan Kaminga comparison. Like we were talking about who’s better OG or John Kaminga. I think Jonathan Kaminga got more upside than OG Anobi. I think Kaminga is more skilled than when than than OG. Yeah, OG really does only two. He’s just a three and DD wing. I mean, what else does OG do? Yeah. And his three balls, but he was he was hitting I mean he was hitting a good amount of threes though, like to keep him in a lot of games. Y if y’all don’t think OG is overpaid, y’all tripping. Yeah, but it’s he has more offensive game with Toronto. It’s the Knicks offense doesn’t really like the Knicks offense a little bit of pick and roll with Cap, but it’s mostly like just give Brunson the ball and let Brunson pound. It’s not an offense, but Gary, that’s more so that was like corner threes, you know? I mean, he really wasn’t putting the ball on the floor a little bit. A little bit. I mean, there’s a lot of time, right? I mean, I I think you’ll see more him creating his own shot in this new offense with Mike with Mike Brown than you did with Tibido’s offense because Tibido’s offense, it’s kind of like antiquated. It’s kind of like that 2010 era. Like it really was like it was a little bit of pick and roll, high pick and roll, but it’s mostly just ISO ball and and let Brenson go to work. It’s like I think Tib Ts was just I’ll go look at I’ll go look at the highlights. Gio uh Giovanni, but I’m pretty sure that there’s actual help defender coming. Like you can actually read if you play basketball enough, you can you can actually see read someone’s body language when a secondary defender wants to actually come and help, you know. So, um I mean, because I mean Yiannis really doesn’t have any go-to. I mean, yeah, he doesn’t really have a go-to move like that. I mean, he does have he does have your own step. He doesn’t really But that’s that’s not footwork, you know, like footwork like Yeah, that’s not really footwork. Not like Kobe, like you know, he doesn’t really have that type of But that’s a bad comparison because it’s Yiannis. I mean, Yiannis doesn’t have skills like that. He doesn’t have skills like that, but like he’s 6’11, strong as I mean, how much skills does he really need? He’s got a euro step. Like that’s Well, he can shoot. It’s like Harden said, you run and dunk. Like he’s just running and dunking. He’s not wrong. Giannis, you hate Giannis. No, no, Hold on, hold on, hold on. G, I’m not saying you’re wrong about that, but again, if you play basketball enough, right? You know, especially with like the uses that Giannis actually has, you know, he’s going to actually get help. It’s not going to just be OG just guarding him by himself on the top of the perimeter, man. Someone is going to I promise you, someone is going to actually help. Someone’s going to help. They’re going to look to cheat, right? You got to look at that. You could read a person’s body language if you play basketball enough that someone is going to actually help. Right. They have a clip. Is that see their eyes? Two seconds. Yeah, I got I’ll look at it. I’ll look at it. Yeah, I’ll look at it. I actually I still got the I got the NBA league pass. I can still go watch the whole I don’t hate Yiannis. I just think he’s overhyped. No, you hate Giannis. I just just I I hate Yeah, he’s um I got him all time in the power forwards list though. I mean, I don’t think he’s I just think he’s overrated, that’s all. That’s fair. Yo, he’s his value. I mean, he passing he’s not throwing he’s not throwing like passes at at players feet from what I just like that he doesn’t get criticism. That’s all BK like he doesn’t like he hasn’t done anything since 2021 and they just they keep giving him like passes. That’s crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And player one saying that he’s very skilled for a guy who can’t consistently shoot, you know. How’s he skilled? I I like to see him like, you know, post up more, you know, like especially like with his mobility, he can get like you have one move, you’re not scared, but he doesn’t, like I said, the way how strong he is. It’s like Shaq. Shaq didn’t really need a lot of moves, man. He just like Yeah. Sha I mean Shaq, I mean, do y’all think Shaq was skilled? I don’t think Shaq was skilled. A little bit. No, a little bit. Not like Joel. I don’t want to get into this. You guys know what I think about Shaq. Shaq was not skilled, BK. Oh, no. A little Kyrie Irving, Kevin. No, I’m saying no. He had a jump hook. He wasn’t just like a guy who just dunk, right? He can do prominent player. Yeah, he can he had a little fadeaway shot right around the five foot area around the elbow area. He did. I watched him for years. No, he had a little a little bit. It was like a little Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I’m going to say it was he didn’t really, like I said, but by him fading away like he’s just really bailing the defense out, right? Isaiah Hardenstein has more skills than Shaquille O’Neal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He’s a better passer, but play Yeah. Yeah. But other Phil Jackson when he was with the Lakers, his passing got better. Not in the early 90s when I was watching him cuz he wasn’t a really really good passer, man. He would hold on to the basketball. Um and um you talking about Orlando? Yeah, Orlando. Yep. But again, like I said, that’s just him learning the game though, man. you know, I like when he was playing against the Bulls, they would like it was a team defense like like concept. They would double team him like let’s say two possessions, double team him. Next possession they would use single coverage, right? Then they would cheat. They would look to help, right? You know, act like they’re going to double team. Then they don’t double team. Then they it just kind of threw Shaq off, man. Actually, when I start coaching this year, we going to start doing that, man. Yeah. We going to actually use the same type of defensive like act like we’re going to double team. Then we’re not going to double team. We’ll see. Yeah, we’ll see. Um, he says you’re talking about what what age are the girls that you coach? How old are they? They’re 11, 12, and 13 year olds. Okay. Yeah, but we only get like an hour like an hour and a half a week of practice, man. You know, I’m like, we need more time. No, Kareem. I think Kareem no Kareem was skilled is a crazy player. He trying to compare Kareem like is not I mean name things that that Giannis is skilled at. I mean besides running running probably a bit of playmaking. That’s really it. He’s got a Euroep. Yeah. Like he’s not really skilled like that. You want I think a lot of people I want to say he’s a good switch defender too, but he’s actually not. He’s just hyper athletic. Like he’s actually not a good switch defender. He can. I honestly I think his defense is has regressed. It it has. He’s not He’s not He’s not a good He I know he’s got a defensive player of the year. I know. And he’s made a bunch of all defensive first teams and stuff. He’s not He’s not a good defensive player outside of being a great athlete. 2019. Giannis was different. I ain’t going to lie. Oh, it says over here that Kaminga doesn’t even want to go to the Brooklyn Nets. He he favors the Phoenix Suns or the Sacramento Kings. Well, that’s good for him. If they trade you to the Nets, they trade you to the Nets. Like, I mean, you have a chance to go play with Deon Booker. I mean, I’ll take it. Yeah. Okay. But he’s but he’s he got traded to the Nets, not the Sun. So what? Yeah. But again, you want guys that want to be here, man. You know, we like if he comes, it’s like all right, he’ll be going through the motions. Who the hell wants to come to the Brooklyn Nets at this point? Like, did you see our roster, bro? We You go to the No, but if you trade for our stadium, don’t know what basketball is or and have never seen the Brooklyn Nets play. That’s threequarters of the people in the stadium. And then like you have the worst roster in basketball. Why would anyone want to come here? You know what I’m saying? I mean they don’t I mean they you know it’s the team right now that has the most available cap space right now. That’s why they want to come the money. And I mean you don’t want you want like it’s like it’s crazy Gary he says this it’s because of the money. But then when when it when it comes free agent time nobody signs though. Yeah. Exactly. I mean, that’s true. That’s true, too. Like, what are the teams you wouldn’t want to sign with? You probably wouldn’t want to sign with the Nets. Sacramento. Sacramento. Washington. Nets. Net. Well, yeah. Nets. Washington. S. And that’s basically it. Utah. Okay. Utah for sure. But if you’re a rookie, you know, I would want to go to I would want to go to a good team. If you look at um Portland’s got something building, I wouldn’t put what a washed up Dame and a washed up Drew House. No, they’re done. All right. Yeah, they got red hot last year at the end of the season. I like um Oh, boy. What’s his uh name? Denny of Diah. I think how you say his name. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that’s right. Adha. Yeah, something like that. You know that that young that young kid uh that rookie that they drafted, um Donovan, Portland’s roster, it’s young, but it’s not that bad. Like Scoot Henderson can play, Sharp can play, uh the big white dude, Clingan Klingan, he can play. Yeah, Klingan. They got some guys on this team like they’re not gonna like they’re like if I said to you, all right, the Nets for over the Nets. Yes, I was signed over. I was sign. Their roster is not that bad. It’s not like the Nets or Utah. Oh, you have to get people that will want to like you got to get people to buy into like certain roles, right? Not everybody could be the man, right? You know, you have to have guys in there that’s willing to accept um lesser roles and with all the money that’s the NBA actually has right now, you know, everybody wants to get paid. So, it’s hard, man. You know, like someone has to sacrifice. Do you think uh do you think it’ll be I mean Dame built that franchise basically. He pretty much built that entire franchise. So do you think that that the other guys are going to take a backseat? Forced to. Yeah. But let’s see what Dave looks like when he comes. A lot of guys you gota you got to be like but mind your mindset has to be like um I forgot train to be cuz a lot of guys are coming from situations like that like like they were the guy in high school, they were the man in college, but then when you get into the NBA, let’s say if you go to like Orlando and Pablo Ben Carroll is there and but you just like star in college. Well, now you got to learn actually have to how to play off the basketball, man. And that’s a big Yeah. Yeah. That’s that’s really the thing right there, man. So, um it’s hard for I think a lot of these these players should want to go to like bad teams, though. That way you could be the man. At least the young That’s why H Bailey didn’t want to go to Philadelphia supposed Let’s say he didn’t want to go to Utah either. Yeah. Turned out like every team. Now, he wanted he wanted to go to like the worst team cuz because you already have um um Lori Markin in there, right? Who who was like they run their offense through, but he wanted to go to like one of the worst teams where like he’s going to get like the most opportunity to go out there and really truly develop, you know? So, um, if Philadelphia has some type of resurgence, let’s say Paul George miraculously gets healthy, then Joelyn B is there, then you got Tyrese Maxi. Well, Ace Bailey is not going to be able to really get that many type of touches like that, you know, because he’ll probably come off the bench. I don’t know where he fits when you got Paul a healthy Paul George there. So, I don’t blame him for because then you’ll find yourself in a Cam Thomas situation or a Jonathan Kaminga situation, right? where you go to like good team I mean by that time Paul George would be gone right he’d be retired no I’m just saying for the who knows though who knows you don’t know I mean if you’re looking at it still there I mean you still got Joel Embiid there I don’t know how much legs how many knees he has left how come how long is Embiid really gonna play I don’t know I mean he’s playing in pain they seem the way it’s looking it’s probably like a year or That’s it. Cuz he still could he could still like be, you know, he still could shoot the three ball, right? You just don’t run your offense through him. You can still use him as like a offball player, right? And and uh but I don’t know, man. Y listening, bro. Y team is going to look so much better once be retires, bro. Y have Maxi. You’re going to have draft picks. And I name you don’t blame Ace Bailey. So even though Ace Bailey lost money, right, by not going to Philadelphia, like he’s looking at it like three. He’s never winning Utah, bro. Yeah. He didn’t want to go to Utah cuz you got Lori Market in there. And and Lori is is Lorie Marketing better than Ace Bailey. Yes. I mean, I mean, as of today, yes, cuz Ace Bailey is 18 years old. But I mean, you you’re taking Ace B. That’s what I’m saying. he wanted to go to like the worst possible team where he’s not going to get buried on the bench, right? And he’s going to have the ball in his hands to go out there and really truly develop, man. But if you go to like, let’s say hypothetically the Lakers, you got Ace. That’s it. Who’s they who’s their second option? I mean, it’s going to be Ace, right? Um, yeah, pretty much. I think he wants I think I think he wants he wants to go out there and show that he’s that guy. like he wants to be an allstar like happen. I mean it could happen if you work on his game. I think AC is just horrible. I used to think I don’t know what happened, bro. A used to look good. I don’t I don’t know what happened. Well, high like there’s levels, man. You got high school, then you have again I don’t know how, like I said, these guys aren’t taught right, you know. It it just depends on, you know, how they fall in love with the game of basketball, man. you know, so as big of an ego he either, but um yeah, man. But like I said, you you look at the Cam Thomas situation, even like Josh Giddy, like Josh Giddy, he went to like a loaded OKC team with Shay there already, you know, so he didn’t really get a chance to really showcase. Yeah, he’s giving them 18 a game and that’s that’s good. That’s why he’s probably going to get a contract, though. But I know he was pissed off when they won the championship, bro. Yeah, man. I mean, I think if Miles Turner would have gave you more, like if he would, because he wasn’t giving you no production in those last three games, man. Um, I think they would have won, right? Yeah. No, the the finals, the first round. Yeah, the first and second. that throughout the like when he got to the finals against the I mean against the against OKC he he was like a net had a bit more experience like they had better like they had vets who had experience so yeah and Miles turn where he’s on the Bucks right what’s that yeah he’s on the Bucks yeah yeah but yeah he went to the Bucks though so um but that’s the thing that was a dumb move. He probably played his way out of Indiana, man. Cuz they they would have won, like I said, to me, if he was productive, if he was giving him like right around his his his uh season average, like how much he averaged, like 12, 14 points a game. He was giving you like three points a game. He wasn’t spacing the floor out. He was missing his shots. He was wide open, you know. So, um, if you would have did that, they would have probably won that series. And then you had uh Tyrese Hallebertton who’s like, you know, you don’t know. I mean, he he’s he’s a wild card, man. You don’t know whether Yeah, it’s At least it went seven games. It was It was an entertaining series, though. I I love You thought that was entertaining? Yeah, man. The way Indiana plays. Yeah, I like I love the way they play. Oh, you Oh, yeah. OKC is not entertaining. Watch. No, no, not OKC. I’m talking about the way Indiana played, man. Yeah, it was physical. Yeah. All I see is free throws. Free throws, bro. Every time I watch DC, that is horrible. Nah, BC. Y Lakers, man. I don’t know, man. I don’t know. I don’t know, man. Hey, go Lakers. Let’s go Lakers, bro. Luca Donuch, you got DeAndre Eaton. Yeah. Yeah. I heard what happened with DeAndre Aton, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he already he’s already bro. Right. when he gets to the LA, he he gets in the headlines for bad things. This is crazy. I’m like, whoa, bro. Oh man. I was like, they must been hold they must have been withholding that information, waiting for him to sign the lego so they can put it that out. Yeah, man. I don’t know what happened, man. You know, listen, you know why he’s flying you out there, man. So he’s not paying for a char like I think it was a was a private jet or something like that. I think it was a private jet. Yeah. Just for you to go out on a date. You know why? And she was one of them Instagram models I think. You know why he wants you know what he wants, man. They know be they know they be knowing what these NBA players want and they still be acting like they don’t. Yeah. Exactly. Yep. Exactly. She was probably trying to use them and everything, man. All right, let me see what this lineup is going to look up look like, bro. I mean, we’re gonna have what, Jagor at the point. I don’t know what they gonna do with Cam. So, what you think about this? It Kaminga, Michael Porter Jr., Vouic, you know. Um, uh, it makes him a little bit better, you know, like Jgo, what you think about Jgo Demi? We were talking about Jgo Demmond, uh, Gary earlier, man. I mean, I see him as a Ricky Rubio type player, like a good decent role player right now. Right now. I mean, things can change. Is the question is, can he shoot? If he can shoot, he’s going to be a really good player. If he can’t shoot, he’s going to be Ricky Rubio. Well, I mean, even if he can shoot, I mean, you still got to like you got to be able to get to the rim, right? Like take contact. I I got easier to get to the rim if you can shoot, right? I mean, is there is there any reason to double team him right now? Nope. No, not now. I mean, but the problem is he’s a 69 point guard. So, if he gets the ball downhill and he’s being guarded by Jaylen Brunson or Trey Young, they got no shot. Now, if he can pull up and shoot if he can pull up and shoot like that, like they have if he can shoot threes at a 36% clip where you have to respect it, he becomes a really good player. Well, I mean, he I don’t know if he can or he can’t. He shot 26% in college, but they’re saying he can shoot. I don’t know. We’ll find out cuz they they they said, “Oh, I was reading this article. He he did a good he did what he was supposed to do.” I’m like, you supposed to lead you to wins, man. I mean, if the guys that aren’t in the NBA, right, you know, guys that are fighting for roster spots are beating guys that so-called been drafted in Houston, we got a problem over here, man. Like, we got a serious serious problem. I mean, they should be do like JGO should be dominating these guys, man. Like, in terms of getting to the rim, finishing. I agree. I want him to be a little more aggressive, but it it’s like when you’re playing in a pick and roll and if he can’t shoot consistently, he becomes an easy guy to guard, you just go in a drop and make him shoot, right? I mean, that if he does that, his height and his ability to get to the rim doesn’t really matter. Just let him shoot. Just go right into drop coverage and make him shoot. But then, all right, so let’s say if he can shoot, he just that’s just one element of his game he can shoot. He still needs like one, two dribble pull-ups to this game. That that’s not going to happen overnight because they just run you they just run you off the three-point line. If he could be 69 with a complete offensive game and the vision that now you’re talking about him being an all time, but that that’s that do you see cuz like I said, we seen guys like Killian Hayes, right? I mean, I don’t I don’t know, man. I’m trying I hope so, right? But it’s like you look at D’Angelo Russell. Do you ever see him becoming like a guy that can just lead a team to already? Well, he did. He took a team to the playoffs. He did. I think the league I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m thinking, man. I’m just I’m iffy on him, man. BK, you want him as a backup like I know. I want I want him to start, but I’m just I’m just looking like because even if he develops just a regular catch and shoot three, there’s still being able to pull up off the like pull up off the dribble from threes. There’s also let’s say if they run you off the three-point line like Noah Clowny, right? Like let’s say Noah Clowny, all they got to do is just run him off the three-point line, right? He has no like one two dribble pullup to his game. So, it’s either they run him off the three-point line and then he has to go up against like a 270lb center and be able to finish and be efficient on those type of guys and he’s undersized and he can’t, you know, he’s not going to be able to like explode through contact or um on those guys. So, that’s where the one two dribble pullup comes in to see if you can actually pull that that rim protector out and then they anticipate the one two dribble pullup and then you can just go by them and get a layup, you know. So, um, we could possibly turn him into like a a a lower version of of Josh Giddy. Maybe I I think Josh Giddy got more athleticism, man. I think he dynamic. Giddy shot the ball well this year. I know we don’t think of him as a shooter. He shot the ball and he played in Chicago, so nobody watched him. He shot the ball well this year. Much better than he has in the past. I if I think if he becomes giddy, I think that’s a that’s a that’s a good pick. I start him, but I don’t I don’t know. I don’t think he has the phys physes up against pros, man. Cuz if you’re struggling to score in college, like 10 point three points a game in college. Like you if he was likely, if you look at I was watching um what’s this dude’s name, man? Derek Queen. He he looked like a man among boys. He was moving guys out of the way, finishing. That’s how you’re supposed to be. Like but if you’re struggling to to fer I was saying that bro I wanted Derek Corn. Yeah. If guys are like like if you’re trying to bump guys try and you can’t win the bumps in summer league guys, you know, like what what are you going to do against pros though? Like against the real pros cuz the length like you know guys are longer, you know, in terms of like how they recover defensively. Let’s say if you even get them on one move, right? That they like it takes them like 1.3 seconds to recover, right? So, I mean, is they’re longer, you know? I don’t know, man. I don’t know because he’s just, like I said, you got to be able to dominate in college, man. You know, I mean, against college guys, who’s going to who’s going to be at the four? Do you start do you start Michael Porter Jr. at the four or do you put him at the three? I would put him at the four. Not that he can play guard fors, but like again, like 250 pound power forwards don’t want to play on the perimeter, you know? So, I just think he’ll have an edge there. You know, I got to look more at Michael. Does he have like a one two dribble pull up to his game? Like, he has does he have that? I mean, a little not really. That’s something he has to work on because he’s not the most like too late. I mean, he’s already 28. He’s going to be 30. He’s still He can still go work on that. He’s not 38, 36. He’s still young. He’s like running his prime. really worked on his game much when he was in the Nuggets. Like he doesn’t really Oh, he does. All right. You bringing Oh, everybody in the chat, drop a like on the video. Likes are actually free, man. They’re free, you know. So, uh, drop a like on the video. And if you’re not subscribed, subscribe. Um, Rustin Dominate in college. We’re not going to use Russell Westbrook, man. has that he has one of the lowest IQ’s. You said Russell. Yeah. Yeah. He says Russell Westbrook didn’t dominate in college either, you know, nor did uh Devin Booker, you know. Yeah. You at least saw like actual skills in North when when when Booker got drafted, Kyle Perry said he’s the best player in the draft, right? Like whoever got him got a steal. And uh they they asked Kyle Perry like he didn’t even start for your team. And college goes, “Did you see my team?” Right? Like we if you watched Booker in college, you knew he was he was special, right? Yeah, man. I mean, this this roster is just just disgusting, bro. This just I’m looking at this roster, bro. We got Danny Wolf. We ain’t got Drake Pow and and Ben S. What are we gonna Well, he could Ben S. That’s another one, man. I’m like, I just don’t see I don’t know if he’s an NBA player. But you still got what’s his name, man? You still have um what’s this dude’s name? Dar Whitehead, though. Oh, we still got Keon Johnson, too. Oh my god. What is this roster, bro? Like, why do we have Keon Johnson here? He I mean, he he played decently. He he it was it was okay. I mean, he had his moments. You figure with his athleticism, he’ll be a better defender. Jordy, I feel for you, bro. You gonna be stressed out this whole season. 82 games of just stress. I’ll quit, bro. I ain’t going to lie. I’ll just just turn in. I’ll just be like, “No, I’m leaving, bro. This is This is too much.” Nah, Jordan, get get out, bro. Just just leave as fast as you can. This roster is terrible. Nah, he actually has to build his he had to build his resume up, man. You know, um I mean what he did for Cam Johnson I mean Cam Johnson looked like a completely different player. How can you build a resume with this roster, bro? Let’s be real. He He should get out. Should have just stayed in Sacramento, honestly. Nah, anytime you can get a head coaching position, man, the money I mean, if he would have stayed in sack, he probably would have been hired as the coach as head coach. Oh, that’s true, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s true. But I I don’t think he actually foreseen that. You know, you got to take, you know, you want to you want a head head coaching position with with a bonus as one of your best players, man. Over and you got and you choose Clston. Nah, that’s that’s that’s a bad move. We’ll see, bro. I mean, Jordy, you gonna be really stressed out however you see this. Yeah, I think too. I think that was even a good pickup. Really? To be honest, it was okay. Zyra Williams, he said that was a good pickup. He’s decent. I mean, all that. He’s still the exact same player he was on the Memphis Grizzlies. Yeah, I think he was like hitting his three-point shots and then he was playing D. He’s a three and D guy. I mean, he’s I don’t know, man. I don’t think he’s a small for he’s not see Jonathan Kam if you bring Jonathan Kaminga I think he’ll start in that slot and you could bring Zio off the bench the team would be slightly better and Dam I’m just wondering like it’s not even that some of these these rookies might not even play yeah well that’s the thing of it why why sign why why resign Cam for all that money when no other team really wants him though wants him like Yeah, Clowny. We’ll see, man. Clowny Dewabi has a lot of work, man. I was just talking about him. You want him to put up basically what you just said. You want him to put up 27 and and basically we lose and then we we develop the rookies. That So, you want to just put up empty sets and lose? Yeah. I mean, it depends if he if he’s efficient on those 27 shot attempts, man. Um if he going to win any of those games like winning like less games than we did last year. Six out of 10 games, right? He can go like 18 hits 18, you know, out of that 27. That’s not bad. I don’t think he can do that like every single night though, man. It’s tough cuz the way like these the defenders are. All right, let me let me wrap this up over here, man. Um, definitely like, comment, subscribe. Check out my boy Gary show, Nothing But Nets. And um, and uh, definitely subscribe if you’re not subscribed. Let me get some sleep over here, man. Uh, good show. Good stream, man. Good stream. And uh, I’ll see what’s on the agenda for tomorrow night. It’s going to be nothing but pain for all 82 games, bro. This is Yeah, we’ll see. I mean, the team looks it’s a little bit better than last season, I believe. Look, we a little bit a little bit better. Michael Porter Jr. We’ll see. He showed promise. He had he got a couple. Y’all got Michael Porter Jr. moving y’all so much that No, I’m not saying he’s going to lead the team to Vajala or anything like that. I’m just saying. But BK, we have 10 guards. Can you There’s no way you can argue this. We have 10 guards, bro. Oh, yeah. Before I go, what y’all think about Nolan Troyier, though, man, from what you’ve seen, Gary and Terrible. I thought Nolan was gonna be good. Uh, he’s better than I thought. He’s He’s not ready yet. Like, he’s not going to be good this year for sure. He’s a blur, man. Like, he can blow past him. He can’t finish at the rim, but that boy fast. Like, it’s going to be a while. It’s a project, but like there’s upside there. I mean, they were comparing him to Tyrese Maxi. You see it? No. Well, he’s he’s 19, 18, 19 years old. Yeah. Like if you want to say this is what he can be four years from now maybe like he’s that boy fast like he he finish but like that won’t come in time you would hope he definitely has the speed but his offense his defense man bro what happened bro he was good in he was kind of good in college how much how what’s his size how much is he 6’5 he’s he’s got decent height no I mean his weight oh his weight I 200 less probably No, probably that that’s like probably in the No, he’s like it’s like 180 190 something. Yeah. Yeah, he has to get Yeah. And he’s like 6 what? 6’4 65? He’s 6’5. He’s Yeah. Yeah. He’s 6’5 with shoes on. Um I I don’t know, man. I If he uh What do you What you think about uh Drake Pow and uh what’s the other guy’s name? Uh we haven’t seen him yet. I mean, he said he shoots like 37% in college, so we’ll see if that transl is already better than Muel Bridges. What? What? Yeah. Oh, you know Muel Bridges got $150 million, right? That this is of a pure hater right here. Simmons got more than that, right? You ain’t got to be good, but you’re still rich. No, no, Gary, you’re hating this. This You hate MueL? I I don’t I don’t like I value Male Bridges the same way Shawn Marx values Cam Thomas, which is to say I don’t value him at all. No, but there’s value in him, man. Because nowhere near everybody wants to go out right now today, he’s already better. What? Bro, what have you seen from Drake Pal that suggested a couple It’s not so much Drake Pal, it’s what I’ve seen in Muel Bridges. Oh, so did you watch Muel Bridges the whole year? I’ve watched Macau versus every game he played for the last three seasons probably. Bro, Drake, if you put Drake P in that position, bro, that Oh my god. They would have lost in the first round. Yeah. I mean, what would he have done? Shot 30%. That’s what Bridges did. Like Oh, Drake. He can give you 30%. Muel Bridges is one of the worst shooters I’ve ever seen. Drake P is one of the worst. Drake Muel Bridges career average is 38%. Drake P. Drake Pal’s a shooter. Drake Pal’s a shooter. What did he shoot this season? Uh, let’s look it up. Matter of fact, you know what? Hold on. Let’s look up the scouting report on summer league. I ain’t seen nothing. He didn’t play in the summer league. He said he was hurt for some league. He didn’t play. Who else didn’t play? Didn’t Ben Saf Ben He played not? Hardly though. I don’t remember him playing a lot. He played prepare for the No, it was somebody that didn’t play much. I think it was Ben. I don’t remember Ben. All right, let’s see. Drum roll. Drum roll. Drum roll. Let’s see what Drake Powell’s uh comparison is. Oh my god, Drake Powell was terrible, bro. Mhm. Actually, Herb Jones. Uh, all right. Sephilosa was a good player back then. That wasn’t that good. Allstar, but pretty was a good player. He was a good moral player. Yeah, I think that’s a good comp. Davo Sephalosa is good. But Herb Jones, he plays nothing like Eller Jones. I don’t know what the comparison is for that. Well, defense. Yeah, he’s long. Yeah, that’s a good thing. I didn’t really watch him play in college, but according to this, he’s a really has excellent lateral quickness and competitiveness. Allows him to disrupt ball handlers. He has speed. He’s a next level athlete who can shoot. Like, he doesn’t really have terrible, bro. Like, there’s no he doesn’t have any moves. Doesn’t have a handle or anything. Do you think he’s going to get played on? Uh, no. If he could if he could play defense and hit threes, yeah, he’ll play. Yeah, because like right now he’s already better than Keon Johnson because Keon Johnson can’t shoot. But would they would they play him over Keon? Hell yeah. I don’t know. Are you sure? I mean, they had to wait. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. They They had I wouldn’t have Keon on my roster, but they There’s only one basketball, so some of these dudes are not going to be able to play one of these. That’s what I’m saying. A good This is what it seems like. He’s not going to be a guy you want to put the ball in his hands. He’s I I see Drake Pow probably getting like garbage time minutes, honestly. Nah. Nah. If he’s shooting 38% from the three-point line, uh, and he can guard. Yeah, there’s value in that, man. Um, now, so who you playing playing him over? Say Cam Thomas comes back, who you playing off him over? Uh, I I mean, he’s definitely coming off the bench. I don’t know if I would start him right away. Um, and then then Jody Fernandez will like see in training because like right now like like in training camp like we going to see who’s going to start like like like Noah Clowny. I don’t know not start but let’s see him over Noah Clowny or or Danny Wolf you know they those two are going to battle it out and you could definitely play I’ll play Danny Wolf over Clowny. Clown could just ride on the bench. Honestly, I don’t care. But I don’t know, man, because I I was watching Danny Wolf like like there was like a guard that got switched on to him and he was trying to post him up and he couldn’t move the guy. I’m like I said, “What the fuck?” I said, “What?” I mean, dude, you 151 pounds. Like you got to be able to move this guy, man. That should be a easy like he was put a lot of resistance on Danny Wolf. I’m like, “All right, hold on, man.” You know? Well, who who y’all think is going to be the ones that’s gonna be in the G- League? Honestly, I think it’s gonna be Nolan. Nolan. uh Ben Sarif, but I think he’s going back to I think Drake Py maybe. But I don’t know. Well, again, he’s if he’s shooting 38% from three. If he was shooting 20, there’s so many guards. It’s just because we have so many guards right now. So, I just don’t see how we’re going to fit all these guys in. Yeah. Like we’re we’re basically like the league the league the league the league values like three and D type guys, man. I mean I mean even like I mean they like teams are still holding up hope for him like that he could still be that same guy in Dallas, right? Um uh what what about Clownie? Cuz I know you like Clowny. What would you do with him? No, I don’t really like Clownie right now, man. No, I like Clownie because you like Clownie still cuz like if you again if you run his his strength right now I don’t know what’s what’s his position man because he’s not a real like he’s not he’s play defense to even play center or power forward. He’s a power. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. At the four and five play defense though, Garrett, he’s he’s like Claxton. He play he’s undersized at the four and the five and you can’t play him with Claxton but you could play him with Sharp. I don’t know. That’s a bad line. I don’t know guys out there because then like you’re like cuz like Clowny Clowny can’t put the ball on the floor, man. All you got to do is have a man stay attached to him. What Clown is going to do? He can’t put the ball on the floor. I don’t know that I agree with you that he can’t put the ball on the floor. Like he doesn’t even attempt. He doesn’t even try to really. That’s what I’m saying. Cuz he he was playing like he was playing Thompson last year. Like he didn’t get the ball and launch a three because the Nets don’t have any offense last year, right? Like offense with real players. I don’t know that he can’t put the ball to the floor. He’s going to hold right now. Shoot forward. Yeah. Right now with Clowney, all I got to do if I’m guarding Clowny, let’s say if I could theoretically, I would just stay right in the shooting pocket of Noah Clowny. Stay right there. He can’t get to the rim and he can’t he’s not going to be able to put the ball on the floor. He just doesn’t have that, you know, has no mid-range game. No mid-range game. No one two dribble pull up. Um it’s either shot or it’s nothing else, man. He’s like, uh and then his three-point shoot is not that is not great. It’s only 28. That’s how he was forced to play. That’s how he was forced to play last year. But if you watched him in college, this is exactly the same way he was playing. No, I w I I seen him try to put the ball on the floor, Gary. It wasn’t pretty, man. It was ugly. It was his handles is horrible. I just remember him getting the ball and launching it immediately like he was pee Klay Thompson. I remember that being their offense last year. It’s like and he’s not even a good three-point shooter, but I see that’s what I’m saying. He’s not the before the injury, he was shooting 37 38% from three. That’s good for a 69 power forward. But again, again, Gary, all I got to do is stay in the shooting pocket of him and then he’s he’s rendered useless and he hasn’t had that. That’s what I’m saying. Like if you Gary, if you’re having him at the power for spot and he’s going to have to be able to do something else. He’s he can’t just sit in the corner and just shoot threes. No, no, I I agree. And that wasn’t my design for him. I wouldn’t have I wouldn’t have ran an offense like that last year, but that I mean like what what kind of with Tyrese Martin and Keon Johnson and Jaylen Wilson in your starting lineup to go with Clowny and Claxton, what kind of offense are you actually going to run? Like I’m being serious. Like what do you like what kind of offense are you going to run with? I mean honestly I think Jordy should have been able to develop the uh Clowny and Wilson like the rook the the young guys better than what he has to be able to All right. So that’s another thing with Clowny. Can he come off screens? Right. At least come off ball screens. Like let’s say But he has But is is Jordy teaching him though? It didn’t seem like Jordy was But that takes a while, man. Setting up if you’re setting up a screen and you get the ball, you’re just going to blitz Clowny because what’s he going to do? Pass the ball to Keon Johnson, Jaylen Wilson? Probably. Yeah. Well, even hold Gary. Gary. If you have more talent on the team, right? Say more talent. That’s hard. That’s That’s my point. It’s hard to assess what he is and what he isn’t. when he’s the only guy on your team that’s an NBA player. Tyrese Martin non NBA player. Keon Johnson non NBA player. I don’t think Khan is Khan. I don’t think Khan is an NBA player. I don’t think so. I don’t think he’s a NBA player. What What has he shown to prove to you that he’s an NBA player? That he’s 69 and he can shoot. Hardly. you just talk about. So, um, no, all I’m saying is is that Jordy I don’t think that Jord Kell Bridges who plays in the most beneficial offense that a shooter that a 3 and D guy can play in, right? Because they got cat and he shoots 36% from three and he’s the greatest thing we’d ever seen. He’s totally different though, Gary. The best ever walked God’s green earth, right? MueL Bridges and but but but uh Clowney can’t shoot at all. It’s like there’s not much of a difference. No, no, I’m not saying that. I think we’ve just seen a history of Muel actually proving that he can actually shoot the three ball. We haven’t seen much. So, it’s just a small sample. Hold on. Muel Bridges can actually put the ball on the floor, right? One, two, we watched it. He was brutally bad. He was averaging 15 points a game. But Gary, it’s been a larger sample size than that it’s it’s Jaylen Brun. Jaylen Brunton pounding the air out of the basketball, right? Using up a lot of the shot clock and then asking Male Bridges within 7 seconds to do something with the basketball and for him to average 15 to 17 points. Let me ask you a question. Who’s going to create more open shots for your for your three-point shooters? Uh Carl Anthony Towns and Jaylen Brunson or Keon Johnson and Jaylen Wilson? I agree with what you’re saying. So you’re a a much higher percentage if you’re playing with those guys. Correct. Still can’t shoot a good percentage because Muel Bridges is hold on. But Gary, but that’s one year. We can even go to pre like I’m saying we have Bridges good with the Brooklyn Nets. Yes. Yeah. My god. He was You want to pull up his numbers? I mean, we can I’m just saying there’s a history of him proving it. Like, okay, Phoenix, he was a very good shooter in Phoenix. We can’t deny that. There’s no arguing that. Mikuel BR’s entire offensive skill set is corner three, correct? In Phoenix, I don’t think so. No. Okay. What else did he do? You want to look at a shot chart? I mean, in Phoenix, he was able to shoot in the mid-range. That’s why he was so good in Phoenix with with the Suns. He sat in the corner and most of his shots were No. No. Hold on, man. What were you watching, though, Gary? I mean, cuz I Why you think Bridges got I think he’s trying to say like him. I’m just saying there’s a there’s a larger sample size with Muel Bridges than there is with Clowny. Like Clowny hasn’t had a large sample size. We’re showing it yet. Let me use this one. Here’s the stats right here. In in 2021, he averaged nine shots a game. Four and a half of them were three. Half of his shots were threes. Same thing in 2021. He played 2021. That was with uh Phoenix, right? With Phoenix. Yeah, he took shots. These are the numbers with Brooklyn. 45 442 42 41 with the Knicks. 36 with Brooklyn, 34. He actually hold Gary there’s no denying I think he seriously improved a bit of more of his game when he got to Brooklyn though. I do think that yeah he had he he had 43 he so he played 35 minutes a game as the number one option for most and then he got it was so bad with him that he he actually lost the number one option and Cam Thomas became the number one option who nobody in the league wants Cam Thomas that’s how bad Cam Thomas is and he was the number one option over Muel Bridges keep that in mind he shot 43% but that’s not male Bridges mindset during his whole career he wasn’t asked to be the number one option was the third option option for the for the Brooklyn Nets and he was terrible if a third option couldn’t be a three-point shooter for the Knicks and he was terrible at it. So what exactly is his role? But hold on but Gary that’s system though that can be based off option and he can’t be a three and D guy, right? So what what exactly is he? But no, that’s based off of system. If you look at Phoenix in Brooklyn, he was a better player than what he was in in the Knicks. He he was he was god awful with the Nets. It was horrible. Watch, bro. If we all if we compare the the the two the two teams he’s been with to to the Knicks, he’s looked better with those two teams than he did with the Knicks. The Knicks run has been horrible. You thought he was good with the Nets in 2019? I think he was better. No, I think he was better. And then So, was he better on the Nets or the Knicks? It was horrible to watch him. I’m not saying I’m just saying he was better on the Nets than what he was on the Knicks. him in the new system is he he shot 43% averaged 19 points a game and three assists. He didn’t miss and the numbers have dropped Gary. Those numbers have dropped since he left him. He was horrible. And where is his number on the Knicks? His Nick His Knicks numbers are even worse, right? Because he’s horrible. He’s not. You’re making my point for me. No, I’m not. No, I’m saying I’m saying we can even go to Phoenix. Phoenix he looked that was probably the best he’s looked in his career. Yeah, with the Knicks, he actually really played well, man. I mean, he made a lot of key plays offensively and defense. He He was phenomenal. What What did he shoot? 30% in the playoffs. He was phenomenal. No, he made a lot of key defensive plays. He was There was one he was like shooting like 40%. He was great. He didn’t get There was There was like two games where his efficiency was better. Again, Gary, you’re looking you’re comparing him to like Ant-Man. I mean, he’s not that. We’re just looking at him as a high-end role player, man. Honestly, I think Muel is a better What does he do? What does he do at a high end? He shoots the three ball really well. Again, he could put the ball on the floor. He has a really good in an ideal situation when you could not for one year. This is crazy. He shot 35%. Okay. So, he’s he’s a bad three-point shooter. He’s not a shooter. So, what did he shoot from threes and and minus the D. So, I don’t really know what he does. Wait, hold up. So, he wasn’t playing good defense this year in the playoffs. No. No. What? Bro, that defense was playing on Jason. Hang on. Hang on. He just explained to me he’s such a good defensive player. The Knicks defensive rating jumps up when he’s off the court. Please explain that to me. He’s not hold Let’s be real now, Gary. Not a basketball court that when OG is off the floor and they got Josh Hart in the the numbers still jump up. So So what’s your point? My point is that the Knicks are a better defensive team when Bridges is off the court and they’re better defensive team when OG is off the floor. I’m not we’re not talking about OG. We’re talking about Bridges. Yeah. I mean Gary and I always play arguments when it comes to to Mikuel Bridges. Like I I’m not comparing him to Ant-Man. I think Gary’s comparing him to like Anthony Edwards, Donovan Mitchell. Testament to how good Josh is though. When did I give Hang on just No, I mean when you say he’s horrible. Let me ask my question and then after I ask my question you can answer. That’s fair, right? When did I ever compare him to Anthony Edwards? No. When you say he’s garbage, you’re in you’re you’re insinuating that. Hold on. Stop. Stop. Stop. Just answer my question real quick. When did I ever compare him to Anthony Edwards? No. No. To call him a bum. Right. It’s Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Hold on. I’m explaining to you, bro. You’re not letting me finish. I’m going to keep asking the question until you actually answer. When did I ever compare him to Anthony Edwards? So why do you think he’s a bum? Okay, I’m going to ask the question again. When did I ever compare him to Anthony Edwards? So you you’re calling him a bum, right? One more and we’re going to keep asking what I’m saying. You’re calling him garbage. I I believe I’m just I believe you’re comparing him to like the Donovan Mitchells. Now I’m going to ask a question and we’re going to try and I’m going to keep asking it until you answer it. When did I compare him to Anthony Edwards? The answer is I did didn’t. Just say I never did. I don’t know. What are you comparing to? That’s the answer. Just say I didn’t do that. When did I compare him to to Anthony? You didn’t do that, Gary. You didn’t do it. Okay. All right. Orin, how’s that sound right now, man? You never did. So, why would you make that? Why would you make that up and say that? Uh, hold on. Hold on. How’s that? How’s that? All right, we’ll keep it there, man. Um Oh, what was I saying now? All right. So yeah, so call him a bum when he’s not a bum. And he got like six he got what was it? Five picks. Five five. He’s not good at anything on a He’s not good at anything. Why didn’t How come How come he got a $150 million contract? You can’t get You’re acting like he had no good You’re acting like he had no good games at all in the playoffs. You So what? This is like silly. So he stands in the corner once in a while he hits. I’m not saying that, Gary. What are you talking about? He seen that. Hold on. I can point to I’m telling you the skill set, man. We can point to We can sit up here and point to a lot of players that sit in the corner and do nothing. Bro, that’s just based on He doesn’t do that. I mean, that’s that’s part of the offense. Hold on, Gary. Hold on, Gary. Cam Johnson is the same person that actually sat in the corner and shot threes. What is your point? And how do I feel about Cam Johnson? Okay. And those that’s that’s just a testament to the system, though, Gary. And Cam Johnson actually hits his threes. So, as bad as I think Cam Johnson is, he’s better than Kell Bridges cuz Hold on. Besides this year, how well was he shooting from three from from the previous years, bro? And his average is His career average is 38.5% big. That’s horrible. That’s horrible. That’s horrible. That’s atrocious. That’s the worst in the league. Am I a Cam Johnson fan? Like, I think Cam Johnson is awful. No, we’re talking about Muel. Muel Bridges has always been in the Johnson’s awful. What are you talking about? We’ve been over this a thousand times. Oh gosh, man. Kev Johnson, this is crazy. Okay, who’s a You can’t even There’s There’s not even that many third option players better than Muel. Well, Muel’s not a third option. He’s like a fifth. Who’s the third option in uh in the Knicks? OG. OG. You got OG over Nah, bro. Yeah. Okay, cool. Who’s Who’s the better fourth option? Okay. Okay. If you want to say I’ll give you that. Fine. I’ll give you that. OG is is third. Who’s a better option than Muel Bridg at the fourth option? On the Knicks in general in the league. I can’t name a lot. There’s not that many. I I’d have to I I’d have to go through the roster and see who the fourth option is. But uh why did So how come Listen, he got $150 million contract extension for no reason, right? Pretty much. Pretty much. Yeah. Oh gosh. So, how come Cam How come How come Cam Thomas can’t get, you know, any type of contract uh at all right now? How come nobody wants Cam Thomas? Why you think one guy on this planet, Leon Rose, thinks Muel Bridges is good? I think he’s good. I told you Phoenix thought he was good. Yeah, Phoenix did. I don’t know. Did they? What do you mean? You don’t know what what when uh when them guys got hurt. Oh, I’m sorry. When them guys got hurt and Muel Bridges had to their offense, how good was Mikuel Bridges? How good were the Suns? I mean, honestly, when they he had to be the focal point of the offense, how how good were the Suns? They lost when they were making that run. Muel Bridges was playing very well in that run. He averaged 17 and a half points as a third, fourth option. That is extremely valuable, man. Like, there’s not a lot of that can actually really do that. You talking about with Phoenix or you talking about with Phoenix or you talking about Phoenix cuz Booker Booker was the first option then you had Chris Paul and then it was okay so if you want to say Mikuel Bridges was a better player four years ago than he is now I I he’s still a good player let’s talk about what he’s done in the last two seasons then I didn’t want to trade him honestly I didn’t want to at all I didn’t want Michael Bridges as the focus of the offense of the Brooklyn Nets offense but no I wanted because like guys like him is so valuable man he’s he’s so valuable All right. How you just got to understand the game of basketball because you’re looking at it like you’re looking at I’m building this team and I have and I I need a fourth option. I would take Malev. I mean, yeah, I’m taking him in a first option role. It’s just a fourth option. How many fourth options make $150 million? No, I’m not. A lot of there’s not a lot of people that can do it. Let’s just kind of like answer the question. We can get to the filibustering and everything. I just kind of like how many Tobias Harris I think was option. Is that a good contract? No, that was horrible. This is This is what I’m saying about Bridges. Yeah, it’s a horrible But I think that’s just the market now, Gary. Tobias Harris is and with the Clippers, he was averaging 20.3 points a game. But that was when he was like the first option, though. Tobias Harris is a good basketball player. No, no. I’m talking about before he got to Philadelphia. He was Before he Before he got to Philadelphia, he was before he got to Philly. Was he though? I don’t know. I I never thought I mean, he was the first. It was a different It was a different role for Tobias Harris in Philadelphia, man. Cuz the offense was going through Joel Embiid. Like Tobias Harris was again, it’s hard to be a See, it’s hard Gary does I mean his his peak wasn’t I mean on the Clippers it really wasn’t that long. I mean how how long was it like two seasons? Yeah. Yeah. But I’m saying in Philadelphia he had a different role, you know. He wasn’t the first option. He was the second option. He had to play off the basketball, you know. And like I said, when you’re used to being a first option, let’s say all your life, you know, and then now you go to a situation where you have to be a third or fourth option, a lot of guys don’t know how to do it. That’s why a lot of guys are out of the league, man. You know, you see guys, oh, what happened to this person? Tobias Harris has got to be in his 30s now, right? He’s been in the league well over Yeah, he’s in his 30. Yeah. Yeah. When was he ever good at basketball? I don’t remember him ever being good with the Clippers. He was the Clippers. Did you go with the Clippers? I’m trying to remember. He was averaging like 18 20 a game that year. 20 point 20.3 points a game with the Clippers. Um but again like when he goes to Philadelphia now Beverly too, right? Cam Thomas it’s like but Tobias no Thomas let’s take though he was actually playing defense and rebounding. All of that went away once he went toh Philly. Why you hold on? Because like with Cam Thomas, like he doesn’t Harris really I mean I think if No, we’re just comparing the two he No, he was a better rebounder in in in the Clippers in LA than what he was in Philly. Like all of that all that stuff that he was doing the Clippers just went away when he got to Philly. Yeah. Player one makes a really good point, man. Tobias Harris is the reason why one of the reasons why their offense actually has improved, man. you know, so you could actually make an argument that you was probably their third like third. He’s a brilliant He’s a brilliant offensive player. He’s uh No, no, he wasn’t in the playoff player one because I was just he was averaging like 15 points a game. So yeah, man. So um yeah, man. Um I think he’s just decent. I don’t think he’s good. You’re a starting NBA player. No, Tobias is not. Not everybody could be the man, man. There’s there’s a there’s a pecking order when it comes to like who you running your offense through though, Gary. Not everybody could be that guy. There’s only so many seconds on the shot clock. It’s like technically even 19 cuz you got to bring the ball up, you know, from from from uh from full court to half court, right? And that’s 5 seconds, 6 seconds off the shot clock already, you know? So, not everybody could be the man on the team. And then honestly, honestly, bro, the whole point is Clowny. We gotta wait to see what he’s gota he’s got to get some He has a long way to go, man. Long way to go, bro. Like I said with Clowny, he All I got to do is stay in the shooting pocket of Clowny and he’s ready to He might be more skinnier. Is he skinnier than Claxton, bro? He might be skinnier than Claxton. And he’s Oh, he can’t play the five. He can’t play the four. He can’t play the three. So, what good is he? What can he do? I Hey, listen. I’m on record. Can we still send him to the G- League or no? I I don’t see it, man. It It’s going to take so many years, man. There’s so many My my point about Mikuel Bridges is he’s a he’s a horrible offensive player who struggles to score from anywhere on the court. Eight a game. That’s That’s crazy. Okay. Horrible. I mean, if you give anyone that many shots, they’re going to put Was he put the ball Gary Gary Gary Gary Gary? He has he was Did he score the 18 points efficiently or inefficiently? Efficiently. Okay. You want You want to compare? You want to You can’t be a good footballer. Hang on. Hang on. You got You want to look up his true shooting and his effective field goal percentage and see if he was efficient. You want to compare league average BK? You look I disagree with I disagree with Gary a lot on MueL, but I mean he is right. He wasn’t efficient this season. No, I’m No, I’m career career-wise, not not this past season. But no, I agree. Hold up. But but we are right in the aspect career-wise he’s been efficient. this year. You look at Cam Thomas and Cam Thomas of the guys who can score from anywhere in a basketball court. From a logo to the basket anywhere. Right. But Cam hasn’t always been efficient either. Okay. Right. Right. But he can score from anywhere on a b anywhere on a basketball court. Anywhere. Muel Bridges. You give a little shaky anywhere from the logo to the basket. He cannot give you a bucket. He is horrible offensively. And he can he can score in the mid-range. His mid-range game is good. Can That’s probably his best. Hold on. He was all clamoring. I agree. You were all clamoring for him to to start scoring more in the mid-range. I agree. It’s that’s the best part of his game. That doesn’t make it a good part of his game. It’s just But Hold on, Gary. Can I ask you a question? Do you think that Tibs is a re is a part of that though? I mean, he had him on the three-point line way too much. Well, what do you want him to do? Like, I mean, have him in the mid-range. Okay. It’s a different offense, though. It would if you if you wanted And that’s my point, Gary. Hold on. You just made my point. You had the air out of out of the basketball, right? And then throwing uh a grenade to Mikuel Bridges. That offense was terrible. Yeah, I I agree. No, no, I agree with the offense. If you want Mikuel to create his own shots in the mid-range, you got to give him the ball. A, he can’t handle the ball, right? And B, now I’m taking the ball out of out of Brunson’s hands, out of cat hand to let Bridges operate. And Bridges isn’t isn’t any good at all. Muel’s Muel Bridges handles is probably like as close to to Jaylen Brown as possibly. Like that’s that’s that’s what Yeah, it’s decent. It’s not horrible, but it’s it’s not horrible. This is decent. This is okay. I think it’s pretty bad. Like I I for It reminds me of how Jaylen Brown droves the ball basically. Kind of. I wouldn’t say that’s very good either. Yeah. No, no, neither is good. It’s just okay. He’s just decent. That’s what I’m saying. He’s not really good at Mikuel Bridges isn’t really good at No, I agree with you. That’s why he’s not an allar player. That’s why he’s a role player though, Gary, because he’s not great at at He’s good at a lot of things. A a role player serves a certain role. He’s good at some good at some hit threes. He doesn’t hit He misses threes. He hits He’s He’s a three-point shooter. I give you this season though, G. You’re not looking at like you’re not looking at the whole totality. You’re not looking at this. I agree with you that he shoots the threes. Unfortunately, he doesn’t make the threes. So, he’s a three-point season though. Hold on. He’s just not a three-point maker. No, this season he was a bad shooter. Don’t go in. What was that? This season he was a bad three-point shooter. But if we’re talking about career-wise, he’s not really a bad He’s talking about what he did years ago. I I don’t really care. Like, we’re not talking about what he did in 2021. It’s not really wrong. But that’s just Tib’s system. We don’t Okay, once Mike We’re going to see this season when Mike Brown develops this offense. We’re going to see, bro. Okay. Well, I I think like Muel Bridges can come off screens because personally, I think it was a lot of Tibs’ fault. activity to me is one of the worst offense coaches ever. It’s hard because you can’t ask Muel Bridges like to like if they run the offense through like let’s say Jaylen Brun and then you got Cat and then Male Bridges get the basketball with six sec six seven seconds on the shot clock. I mean anyone’s efficiency is going to really be that bad man. It’s not easy the clock out every time he gets the ball. Yeah. Like Cam Johnson, who you guys know what I think, Cam, if he played in Bridges, if he played in the same role as Bridges, his his efficiency would go up because he’s a good shooter. Fernandez had more ball movement, more man. He doesn’t have movement. He’s just be sitting in the corner. Yeah. Right. That’s his efficiency would go up because all he’s taking now is open threes, right? All Bridges takes is open threes. And unfortunately, because he’s so bad, he We see I see male Bridges put the ball on the floor. One, two, dribble. Honestly, it’s not like it’s not like BK BK, if you want to be honest, bro, Muel and OG are so similar that it just doesn’t work in that offense, bro. That’s that’s what it is. Yeah. I think Muel Bridges is a better offensive player than than OG, you know? That’s just my opinion. I don’t understand. Like, I get why you like Ben Simmons. I get it. I don’t understand the Bridges thing. I He Well, I’m Ben Simmons. I like him as a role player. If if you was to tell me Gary, oh, I want Michael Bridges to be the focal point of an offense. No, I like him as a third or fourth option. He’s viable. So, he was, if you’re the GM of an NBA team and Muel Bridges is a free agent, how much would you offer him? Uh, about $100 million to 120 over how many years? Four years. Three, four years. You give him $30 million. cuz that’s insane BK. No, but again it’s extra to to score 17 and 20 points a game. I’m not saying that BK I’m not saying like two dribbles, three dribbles is is extremely valuable. Okay, but you’re bringing him in but BK you’re bringing it like Gary said like you’re bringing him in to be what? A third fourth option. You’re going to pay him $100 million. Well, it depends on the actual structure of the team. Like the Knicks already like they already had a really really good team and you just added him. Yeah. I mean then but if you all right let’s just say about Dallas or something like that bro you’re going to bring him in or even the Warriors are you going to bring him in on a $30 million contract bro but like here’s my point here here’s my point uh I would do like what would you do G I would do like he now plays yeah exactly and probably less than that I’ll explain he plays the same role that Klay Thompson plays for the Mavericks Klay Thompson’s a good shooter Klay Thompson makes $16 million a year we’re not we’re comparing. He’s better at that role than Muel Bridges is. So, he should make less than Bridges. And Clay does nothing. Herb I think I think Muel Bridges give you more. Herb Jones makes $17 million. No. No. Muel can do more than what Clay can do. He can do more than Clay. Come on, Gary. Clay Clay can’t do anything. Clay Thompson Klay Thompson can shoot the bull. Can Bridges? No, I’m saying in and totality of the game like he can put the ball in the floor. Like Clay doesn’t Clay just sits in the corner, bro. Like he doesn’t do anything. And that’s what Bridges does too. But he can actually put the ball on the floor. He could put What are you watching, man? What are you watching? Kenny. But Kenny, what are you watching? Can Clay Clay doesn’t do anything? That’s why I’m saying they play the same role. I’m agreeing with you that Clay can He does more than he does, bro. You think you think Klay would have been able to do the things that that MueL was doing in both? What do you What does he do? He He sits in the corner and misses a ton of threes. I don’t think I don’t think Clay can play defense like Muel. Yo, if this video if this stupid live stream wasn’t getting like would get demonetized, I would show the highlights, man. But I mean, Jesus, man. Clay is washed up, bro. I don’t know. Interested in that? No, I’m Well, I’m just I’m just giving you facts like you don’t want you you’re allergic to facts, Gary. I’m just giving you Let’s all be real. Let’s all be real here. Do more things. Let’s all be real. Clay Clay should Clay should retire at this point. He should be retired. Yeah, he’s done. If if he should retire, then so should Bridges because Klay Thompson is better than Muel has better upside. Mel has better like in terms of skill-wise, bro. At this point in his career, Mel is better. Oh. Uh, let’s look at this over here, man. Hold on. Hold on. Let’s see if if these are empty calorie stats or Clay stats actually 11 wins. I’m not arguing with you that Klay Thompson is good anymore. That’s not what I’m arguing. I’m arguing that he’s he’s just as effective. Clay, I’m not gonna lie. Clay is trash. He’s a bum, bro. Okay. He’s just as effective. He actually plays that role. He’s gota be like one of the worst players in the league right now. He I’m not disagreeing with you. That’s where Bridges is. I would probably go write this off on the taxes. Look, I got to look up what’s Clay’s numbers this season. Actually, speaking of Clay, bro. See, they used to give you more. I know a lot of these games that Muel Bridges was scoring, they actually translate into wins. They would actually translate into W’s, man. You know, so they wasn’t just like empty. For the majority of that part, he was by himself. I mean, if you count Cam Johnson that year. Yeah. No, I think Cam Cam Thomas was hurt a lot of years. I’m I’m with you. Klay Thompson is no longer a good basketball player. I’m We agree on that. What I’m saying is he’s still even not being good anymore. He’s still more effective and not all the Muel Bridges. Hey Dwi, he can shoot. Bridges can’t Clay need to go ahead and retire and go be with Mega Stallion, bro. Is that what he’s doing nowadays? No. I mean, listen, the injuries that Clay had, man, I mean, if it was wasn’t for the injuries though, player one, I was Well, he looked he looked good on uh in 2022 when they won no championship. Ah, he was giving you 18 game though. So, he was that was the first year off injury. So, yeah, he he he was he he was Yeah, but it was it was but that’s what I’m saying. It was the same thing. You could tell it’s just that he was shooting at a higher percentage, right? He was a lot he was most of the time he’s open. Now he’s doing the same thing. He’s just hitting him at a lower percentage. He’s just, you know what I’m saying? Like there was nothing more to his game. I think that’s I think that’s I think he’s getting too much money to be doing what he’s doing. Who’s that? Clay. Oh yeah, definitely man. Yeah, he’s on like a vet minimum. He should be able to guard. I mean, he was a really really excellent defender. I just don’t, you know, but the injuries what he’s Oh, but Gary, wait. What he’s providing on the court, he should be getting like a vet minimum. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I’m not saying I want him. I’m just saying like this these are comparable players to Mikuel Bridges and All right. All right. Let me let me wrap this up. I got to get up in the morning, man. So, this is a really really this probably one of the best shows we actually had, man. Three people, man. No one’s shouting. You know what I’m saying? Like the Harlem cussing up a storm, man. They just they just get emotional when they, you know, about the Cam. They just love Cam, that’s all, bro. Yeah. Yeah, definitely, man. All right, so like, comment, subscribe, and also drop a like on the video. Likes are free. And definitely, um, we’ll see, bro. I mean, George is gonna have a lot to do. Yep. Yep. I went like a half an hour extra, man. All right. Yo, so peace out. Uh, if I have if I can muster up the energy for tonight, I’ll definitely uh do it over here, man. Get in there for a coaching job. Cam deserves 100 million. Hell no, man. Not Not if he’s gonna sniff He’s not sniff an allstar team. Player one. Yeah. No, wait. Hang on. Hang on. PK, before you go, you just said if you can’t sniff an All-Star game, you don’t deserve a hund00 million. Let me let me ask my question. You said if Cam Thomas can’t sniff an All-Star game, he doesn’t deserve $100 million. Fine. You just said you would give Male Bridges $100 million and he’s never going to snip an All-Star game. So I swear that Muel Bridges went to the Eastern Conference Finals and he was a a key reason why they went to the Eastern Conference Finals, man. So is it about sniffing an all-star game or not? What’s it about? No, I said sniff an All-Star team like sniff an allar game. He’s never kid. Who’s that? Mel. He didn’t sniff allar. You know what? Gary Gary does have have a decent point there, I guess. But got him. It’s just different different roles. Oh, no. has different roles. You see this game different roles you’re asking hold on because you’re asking Cam Thomas to be the focal point of a team, you know, that’s the thing. Okay. All right. And you’re asking Muel Bridges to be a role player. You’re not asking him to carry an offense. And I think I think with Muel Bridges playing under like um Tib is is is bringing you even more because it’s hard when you have Jaylen Brunson just like throwing you grenades, right? where he dribbles the air out of the uh out of the shot clock. I’m not gonna lie to MueL Bridges who to do something with the ball and six, seven seconds in the shot clock, which is not really his strength, man.

I’ve always considered Duncan Robinson the the worst rotational player in basketball. I can even say when Duncan Robinson when Tyler Hero was off and Duncan Robinson was there, the offense looked better, man. with Duncan Robinson on there. So, I’m mad that Miami He let him go, bro. But, all right, let me let me let me look at the numbers because Duncan Robinson, you might I he might be better. He might be I gotta look. He He didn’t play a lot this season, but he he was shooting well. All right. All right. All right.
