Our guests this week are CJ McCollum and Jose Alvarado from The New Orleans Pelicans. And as an added bonus, this was taped LIVE in front of Pelicans fans in New Orleans. In this clip, we ask them about the new beefed up Western Conference and how they feel as a team with Kevin Durant on The Phoenix Suns with Devin Booker and Kyrie Irving on The Dallas Mavericks with Luka Doncic.

Can we get some okc players on here, I thing lou dort would be great but they’re way ahead of schedule, an looking like they have the best future coming up
CJ a true leader. All 💯
Great point CJ made that most people don't think about when players get traded. Imagine being the kid of an nba player who gets traded from a city that you loved living in and have some of the best friends ever there and now you have to move to a city that you really really don't want to live in. Doesn't make much of a difference to have a lot of money when it comes to that.
i thought they were reacting live to when they heard the news lmaoooo
I HATED KD for his b!tch move to Warriors. But he has my respect cause the owners & GMs have zero respect for their players. Trading them without any conversation or even a heads up
You’re kids may need to move school but they are so rich they don’t need to work
Love you, CJ! One of my fave player and hearing him express his thoughts about being traded, you can see the maturity and the intelligence of him being a professional athlete. The intricacies of the inner conflicts between places and situations within a family is humanizing af.
Alverado's hairline is fighting for its life.
I really feel for the players that are good enough to stay in the league for a long time but not good enough to stay on one team for a while. Constantly getting traded every few years. Career journey men. Just when you and your family are getting settled in and making new friends you get traded and within 72 hours you're in a new city. Having kids makes it that much harder
Suns in 4,4,4,4!!!
East is still too heavy though
Drop the whole episode!
Alvarado lacks charisma
yooooooooooooooooooooo
That CJ Mccollum's tweet was hilarious. So point on, so salty. Love his intelligence and his humor.
Yeah I understand the behind the scenes issues/problems with getting traded to a different state n team whether you choose n know where u goin compared to not knowing that you got traded to a team nd struggling with everything, like ur kids nd finding a school for them getting all their papers n shot records also finding a house or apt nd either to buy it or rent a place bcuz u aren't sure if u are gonna get traded again next year n also getting all ur furniture n things nd bringing it to the new state. Also if u were paying for your house before or had already bought it so debating if y'all going to sell the house or not nd if ur new team is real far example previous team was clippers new team Boston do u have to constantly make road trips to bring everything from ur old house or just bring important things n just buy new furniture lol bro I can keep going on and on bcuz that not everything one has to deal with lmao smh
Can’t lie the CJ tweet and him explaining it was funny as hell. From a Grizz fan lol
Wow I'm disappointed I didn't go to this … But I didn't have any friends that would as entertained as I would be. And I wasn't going solo.
I’m sorry c.j life problems omg 😂 deal with it
C.J.'s a super thoughtful guy. Really enjoy listening to him.
It's amazing they kept Ayton, that's what I'm most shocked about
What's the use?! He's not playing!!! But he's getting paid.
I hate CJ comparing it to moving when working a 9 to 5. He can hire a huge team of movers to pack everything for him, a nanny to watch the kid, an a personal assistant to manage pretty much everything in the situation, not even close to comparable!!!
On one side you have people who have to move the same day, struggling with life. And other side you have a guy that tells his shoes guy to pack up his shoes and knows in advance where he's going. Difference in skill level I guess.
Magic jj redick was a savage!!!!
Its insane how with two big trades the West is suddenly stronger than the East.
