uh welcome ladies and gentlemen back to our basketball segment uh episode 170 had that post yeah whatever Ed post Ed post um so we got the Hawks the Hawks up until yesterday no no no no no no no start with my team you see it oh uh Norwood hates men’s basketball unless it’s about Florida uh Florida is the number nine team in the nation what you talking about is the number nine team in the nation uh I you you got it go ahead I don’t know nothing about nothing about this they got a seven foot n dude and he seven seven never played he never play a he like 79 though he like like seven something he’s so tall and they show clips of him every day and he he’s so tall that he looks like he’s playing on a Fisher Price goal it just happens to be 10 feet tall but is he ever going to play or be good no all I know is in warm-ups he missed two layups in a row at the rim and I said boy you don’t even got to jump to Touch Above the Rim how do you missed that I was laugh me and my brother was laughing because I was like we got the seven footer he’s like yo I know he sucks and I was like all right he does but he’s 79 but he’s terrible but I am excited the the real the real thing here is Florida’s ranked uh number nine in the AP top 10 they’re undefeated they’re playing actually playing really good basketball um I’m excited are they now the top who’s the who’s the top who’s the leading scorer wait wait wait hold so I’m gonna cover the top 10 like I’m right I’m really about to say hey I’m gonna tell y’all the top 10 AP top 10 which is kind of crazy that there are so many SEC School was at the top of this thing Tennessee Auburn at two Iowa State at three duke at four Kentucky at 5 Marquette at 6 Alabama at seven Gonzaga at 8 and Florida at nine Kansas who just lost at 10 that’s one two three four five teams five SEC teams in the top 10 what happened to the ACC there’s only one ACC team in there and the ACC is supposed to be the basketball conference where is Virginia where’s Clemson where’s North Carolina where is North Carolina State what happened to Wake Forest where’s Georgia Tech and stymy are actually get more pressed than all of y’all what is happening oh you know what’s happening and you know out of all the people even though Kirby Smart gave it to him this weekend George sanki is thrilled is just the top the Patriots are prepared to offer the moon to T Higgins smart and they gonna draft Travis Hunter there it is there it is there it is right bang right bang T Travis Christian Gonzalez and then Mayo be like you know what and let’s be real they gonna mess around and get Ashton Genty you could probably get Kyle pittz and still draft Ashton Genty too I’m not taking Ashton Genty why I can find me a running back I’m taking me a r i I can find you think J is a first round draft pick we here now we ain’t talking about basketball no more well we are we gonna get the bad at basketball we got talk about the because they actually it but let me tell you if it’s me they could shake [ __ ] up oh you gotta draft Travis so you can’t get Genty and Travis that’s what I’m saying you think TR Genty is a firstr draft pick yes but mid to late then you could trade back up because you’re gonna have a top five pick in the second round which is basically another first round pick you would probably have to trade two two what now two seconds or you just trade a player in a second now so my thing my answer is Ted McMillan you could get Ted McMillan and T Higgins and you have a receiving core on day one 100% I think that see this is the reason the old boy scad SK whatever his name was who says he’s the best running back now I might take you in the second third round I might be yeah the old regime do like them white running backs too or I mean let’s be real are are the Falcons going to extend aler he’s still in a contract for another year I believe but no yeah and I request a trade anyway whatever my contract is trade me I don’t want to be here yeah yeah like you’re not using me and give me give me a second or third round pick now Terry Fontan say I found one Tyler aler I can find another and that may that may or may not be reasonable but I mean if I’m the Patriots if I get Tyler aler Ted McMillan and T Higgins for Drake May then we have an offense the defense is good oh they talking about the Nuggets about to trade Jamal Murray for dearon Fox I’m sorry I’m scrolling so we all over the place why not wrong no I’m reading it’s right here who why why why why would why would Sacramento take Murray for FS draft pick throwing picks what you want the LA you want a second round pick they said it’s the favorite Championship they said that’s the F if if they were to trade Murray that’s the trade that everybody’s predicting will happen okay all right now we’re SEC okay are we done with this I’m done with football because now we can go back okay so yeah all throw that football you have to clip that and throw that back in football um I’m not trading Murray for Fox because the Denver Nuggets pick is going to be the the last pick because they’re gonna win a championship you think so this year with dearon Fox Michael Porter Jr Aaron Gordon and oh yeah for sure you got old Westbrook and young Westbrook on the same team and oh yeah and Westbrook yeah no I’m not doing that never in a million years would I give up my crown jewel asset for Jamal Murray who’s not it’s not like I’m not gonna get a good pick and I’m also like not getting out of a contract anytime soon that’s literally the worst of Both Worlds best of nope never mind wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait did you look at this no I literally know what Jamal Murray get Jamal Murray gets his money goes up he gets 50 million next year the year after that 54 million the year after that 58 million the year after that 62 million what does what does what’s the name get not I don’t it’s close to that deer and fox contract five years 163 million that’s 50 it’s the same thing now you gotta resign Fox but you’re gonna sign him for 50 you’re gonna sign him for the same thing that you’re paying Murray 54 5860 you probably have to look there literally no reason to do this probably have to look age and all that stuff but I’m just telling you I just I literally was like that’s interesting so that’s why I said it um that’s not interesting to me at all if the if the nuggets are able to do that to Sacramento I’m assume that some fix is in just like I think it’s in in football already but we’ll get there yeah I I can’t imagine there’s a world where you were trade a younger asset that’s going to get paid around the same amount of money for an older asset that you’re going to have to pay 50 let me tell you again what you’re going to have to pay him in the year that you’re going to have to pay him you’re going to have to pay him in 2028 $62 million H I’m not arguing with you I’m just telling I’m just reporting what it was yeah but you also anony Simons a million times before yeah yeah I’ve been saying that all right back to the Hawks the Hawks are on a win streak um they had one no they’re not they were on a win streak they had won six in a row after beating the Lakers in which a game in which the Lakers had basically giv us the game um DeAndre Hunter is flourishing flourishing Off the Bench which is something we said should have happened last year we just didn’t have anybody else to start over him but him and Rish are beasts and we’ve won six out of our last seven with Trey shooting terribly terribly but he’s also had career-high and assists two out of the last three times we played so you kind of I mean it is what it is I would rather have assisting trade he asked for yep I would rather have assisting trade the missing shots and he’s a leader like he’s playing defense or he’s trying I mean to once he gets pinned in the post like yesterday against Denver just wasn’t a good game for him Westbrook posted him and then Braun ran him around the gym and then they just switch with Joker but there was nothing you could do but also we also had nothing to do against Joker anyway because he had 48 20 and eight and five or whatever he did so I’mma say a couple things here H my first thing is we’ve been losing or are kind of just not like a like a place of [Music] being the favored or in front so we’ve gotten a different trade he’s been way more humble he hasn’t shot e like even though he’s not like that floater ain’t floating the three-o shot ain’t going down but he hasn’t shot a ton of what I would consider typical Trey young shots now every now and then you gonna get them and to a certain degree that is just kind of the NBA sometimes so I’m kind of okay with that but I kind of wish I’m kind of conflicted I kind of want him to stay around the same scoring level that he is I just wish he was more efficient CU we can win with him scoring 20 22 points but I would like for you to make a reasonable amount of shots like he just and and I think that he’ll figure it out we’re still kind of in the first lap of the season it’s early I and I do think that he has some injuries he’s played a lot of minutes I want to give Trey some credit a lot of credit cuz he seemed to have matured we are playing very balanced basketball ball now one of the things that people don’t really understand is is look at our bench you have DeAndre Hunter third pick in the draft you have Ona kongu fifth pick in the draft you have bogie who’s the best shooter that the Hawks have had since Kyle corver on the bench there’s not anybody who has that much draft Capital invested in their bench it’s an elite not anymore Denver did a couple years ago when they won the championship yeah but not now oh and Kobe buffkin he’s he’s another first round draft pick we have three first round draft picks and an elite shooter that’s our bench that’ll win you some games well I mean that’s what he said he said once we got guys back we could we knew we could make a run and I mean ret is the really the key that allows you to put all of that talent and capital on the bench because he’s 610 he’s an he’s an adult he plays good defense even though his shot ain’t his shot hasn’t fallen as yeah it hasn’t fallen as much he just doesn’t get killed on a lot of things he’s still tall fast and strong well he’s tall and a atic enough to kind of just get it done and I think that he’s not as strong as people think he is but I think that sometimes people fall asleep because he’s a string bean and then you remember he’s still a killer now I think that Alexander sawar and your people I think you probably should should have I think that he probably regrets that decision he made not showing up for the hawk yeah I mean yeah cuz that was stupid it was stupid but it benefited us but also either one of them would have benefited us because we need and I’ll get to that but yeah it was Dumb and now you in Washington and you the worst player in the league per possession efficiency wise because I mean you’re not gonna get the ball there there’s and there’s no plan for that team to get better there is a plan for those players to go to better teams before the team gets better and they’re not trading you and you would have been the pick and roll Phenom here oh my God and we would have kept a kungu um but in the last month the Hawks have beaten we talked about the Hawks we lost to the only team we were the only team that the war that the Wizards had beat the whole year at one point before yesterday when they won but we beaten the ICS the Bucks the Cavs twice and the Lakers in OT all in the same two weeks um showing our potential when we’re fully healthy uh I will say the only reason I’m not going to say the only reason we lost is because of Joker but because we were also hurt we didn’t play bogey we didn’t play a lot of our depth we missed three players um but and and that’s the one thing that’s going to be the requirement for the Hawks to be successful is everybody needs to be healthy that’s the thing it’s exciting though because nobody like you can’t that’s a crazy stat line you just you just disproved my point I was literally saying that hey man we’re a balanced team on most nights everybody just does their part everybody scores their little 15 to 20 points and we win now this is an overtime game where Trey had 31 points and 20 assists on 24 Shots now that is the thing and before overtime he was shooting terribly but 20 assists he was cooking the Lakers and and this is the part that really it frustrates me but I can only be so frustrated because it’s something that we all kind of deal with is maturity this is the first year that Trey is playing mature basketball I think that we’ve lost some really good players because Trey wasn’t mature enough to handle them I don’t think that this is the best iteration of the Hawks roster I think that Trey is playing more responsibly I think that he’s doing a better job allowing his teammates to flourish in their role and he’s not he’s not trying to get in to Old Trey habits of I gotta show up the star on the other team because that was a thing that he would fall in the field clutch of regularly of I want to beat Kevin Durant myself if if we win great if we lose great but Kevin Durant don’t get my respect he definitely inhibited the growth of the rest of the team I think DeAndre Hunter was just is because he was an adult he was 2 when he came in the league 21 he was able to handle it better yeah he was able to handle it better versus cam who I still think if he went anywhere else and I won’t blame that all on trade but if he went anywhere else I think he would have developed better because he was developing but then you get up under lyd Pierce who was a first-time coach and then you get uh Nate who for everything great that he did he just was like there’s no more time for Learning and developing which is a wild thing to say when 90% of your roster is under the age of 24 so it’s difficult to say that you a old man and playing old basketball that’s the reason It’s tricky because the Baseline of the team was better with Nate we are just now getting back to 500 since Nate left Nate didn’t play jayen Johnson he didn’t play jayen Johnson well we’ll get there but he and he didn’t play cam as much and I think cuz he played remember he played TLC Timothy Luke Cera and then he played the dude that broke his leg what’s his name that broke his leg at the club he played uh him no no no he no no no no no no he the police broke his leg I didn’t I didn’t say he broke his I said he played the man that broke his leg the police broke his leg at the club either way the leg was broke at the club I didn’t break my don’t tell people I broke my leg at the club when the police assaulted me arbitrary what I’m saying is you chose to play over Cam and cam would have developed more if you look at cabaro and you look at re I hate to make like the French thing but that’s what you kind of wanted from TLC that you’re getting out of reent shape play Ault defense shoot some threes and when you can you’re still relatively rangy attack the basket but also you have more of a free flowing coach so Dan like Quin Snider is not Dan Quinn Snider is just he’s like at the end of the day we can mask a lot of our things if we just run because I put the ball in Trey’s hands and if you run and also the makeup of the team ret is not a four and also uh y man is this him right here nope nope now now you got defense but that’s not who I’m talking about either I was really talking about uh uh this guy right here um I’ll get to who Jaylen Johnson Jaylen Johnson as much as we like John Collins and as much as John Collins probably still fits with this team as the small ball five Jaylen Johnson is the perfect him and rashay are the perfect oh same thing him and rashay are it’s the same him and Rish are the perfect uh compliments compliment for Tre now I also I also think that Trey I don’t know who told Trey this but Jaylen Johnson Rea Shay and Dyson Daniels they got the same haircut they got the same almost everything that’s that is something that works there now Trey I swear to you you can either get with it or we can spend this $50 million on other players it’s that simple I would like for you to be here because I think you’re the greatest I think you’re the best facilitator in the NBA but I can find another point guard and I can pay him half of what I’m paying you I can get two to throw the ball exactly it’s that simple like I hate to be that but Dyson Dyson looks like he might be in the conversation defense well he won defensive play of the month high high chance he’s going to be he be in the conversation he leavs the league in steals per game by three he’s averaging like four steals a game and the next person is at one deflections and if you watch him play he don’t take no plays off and this look is what he looks like he don’t have a lot to say but he’s a killer if he ever gets that shot down oh If he if he could just give me 15 points tonight he frustrated LeBron he frustrated LeBron he Russell West BR he didn’t even say a word that Westbrook was ready to fight now Westbrook is always ready to fight but Westbrook was big mad and I was like why is he so angry because he just kept deflecting the ball he he’s fifth amongst block he has 19 blocks as a guard he’s a past he’s a and as I don’t even know if that’s a pest because a pest is little Jose Alvarado is a pest he’s 65 whoever said hey we should go get D like give me Dyson Landry that person that that one now I do sometimes think about boy if I could have deante in this because deante is he just got a different fire about him but I’m okay with what I got if especially if dice can get you like 15 points a decent three-pointer and when Trey was out he ran the one him and Kobe I’mma tell now this is the thing that does piss me off I like V kie a lot I love V kie I’ll say that but you got you must develop the draft Capital that you spend we haven’t played Kobe buffkin in two games well he played the last game but it four minutes it it was just garbage minutes stop doing that [ __ ] Kobe aler and and Kobe I he’s not he’s he’s he’s not Trey he’s not like I have to have the ball typically Jaylen Johnson is the facilitator on that second unit but he’s he has good hands he plays good defense and he can facilitate well enough and he attacks the basket stop not playing him to play v c as much as I like V you got to be real with v we already got him for the next 18 years for no money he on a four-year minimum deal it’s one of the worst deals you can sign he signed death row deal but he got a deal for four years yeah he got he got stability and where he from I mean probably sending that money home that’s what Africans do develop develop Kobe buffkin you drafted him you have like that’s the one thing the Falcons have never done is had a legitimate backup point guard and I don’t know if it’s because they don’t want Trey to be concerned Kobe’s not gonna take your job but in the 15 minutes that you may need off for whatever you need for the game let’s get him to a point where he can be competent he can be strong and he can do whatever he needs to do and honestly you really need to develop him to a point because as much as I love bogie Bogie’s knee is funny if bogy can’t go then we need to get more minutes out of Kobe in those times but that requires you to develop him and have him play that’ll give try to get a chance to get off the ball a little bit and when Kobe I’ve seen Trey digress to jayen now I do think that there is a hierarchy around there he a he he might not I’m trying to give Trey some more credit because he’s he’s been more of an adult this year but maybe he just only like I think a lot of it is Trey doesn’t respect everybody I think that I think he firmly understands Jaylen Johnson is and they kind of made it clear jayen Johnson is the future of this team you can be a part of this team or you cannot be a part of this team but this dude who giv us 2010 and five he’s gonna be here and you know who you know who is like you know what I see where y’all going with division I’mma play my role at least until this year DeAndre Hunter he has 19 he has he’s averaging 20 points Off the Bench we I round up once we get to the five I round up 20 points off the bench and he’s getting 20 points Off the Bench efficiently and he his what it is his three-point shot and we’ve I said this two years ago I was like d DeAndre Hunter and we talked about it all the time as a starter you got to get everybody else involved you got to get the whole team going you got to get the lineup going as a starter that’s not his Forte his Forte is not passing I think he averaged two assists for three years his Forte is shooting and he would get frustrated because you got to get the ball to Trey last year you got to give it to dejon Jaylen Johnson was on his way you still had uh other player bogy bogy don’t give the ball to nobody so there was no and trade wasn’t facilitated so now he’s off the bench him and bogy just tag team here throw the ball you shoot a three throw the ball to you dribble dribble shoot and that’s when Jaylen Johnson is the facilitator if he’s on the on the court that’s why you like buffin what no no but what typically that’s what they do is Trey comes out and then you have jayen with bogy Hunter V or buffkin and no no no you leave no no no and then and um in a Kung so jayen is the ball handler facilitator and you can play more of a five out style basketball now I do think that the guy who probably has to go is a Kung he don’t fit before you do that shout out to DeAndre Hunter for being a six Man of the Year C oh yeah kind of walked away I think the best thing yeah I I think that the best thing for you to do is to acknowledge and accept that role because I mean I was kind of factious but we got a bunch of first round draft picks on the bench that’s that’s a luxury that nobody else has look at the rest of these guys here rest of these guys is either old or questionable pton priter you can score that’s literally the only thing you can do you Garrison Matthews on literally just said the same thing about DeAndre Hunter 30 seconds ago no Hunter is a decent Defender it I’ve seen Hunter give Luca hell Payton ain’t doing that Clarkson ain’t doing that Malik ain’t doing that and Malik Mo the Maliks Hunter is a good is a solid Defender he just not he’s not Dyson he’s not an advantageous Defender he just don’t get beat Bogies a score like that’s the reason we need we we need to develop we either need to develop uh buffkin or we need to get Dennis shuder from the from the Nets Clint has had 17 Dennis shudder no truder ain’t coming back to he one playing second fiddle behind Jeff T you think he gonna stay here with with with Trent yes no um but he’s he’s not leaving the Nets um but Clint capella has 17 17 14 13 the why would the Nets keep him I mean they already talking about trading cam you can’t you’re not gonna trade both why not they gonna trade who do you keep so you trade everybody I mean it is what it is but terrible yeah all picks back speaking of Trades do you trade Clint or un kungu Clint his last five games has had 50 boards 60 boards plus boards in his last five games aung what do you trade a Kung for because aong had like 15 and 12 against Joker last night aung is not big enough to be a starter um and you gotta find a secession plan for Clint but you can’t bench Clint because show the rebound the rebound stats Clint Clint is a guy who never get the credit that he deserves he’s one of the best rebounders of his of of his time yeah he is he gets cheap ones but yeah I agree he overall he’s always in position and he hustles and he runs like he’s he gets up and down the floor it’s just Clint the reason I say I I like Clint he and coming off the bench either one first of all either one you gonna have to trade you G have to trade okung Wu for a starter or you gonna have to bench Clint or trade Clint for a starter and Beno Kung but neither one of them can start which is why I keep saying DeAndre Aon but I don’t know aon’s contract I thought it was almost but eight on this team at least at least stretches the floor you gotta find another guy you pair him with Clint why I would trade him I would trade AOK Kung wo for Aon I don’t know how that works but I would do it you can’t Aon is like 40 million kung’s like 20 million you know what my answer is but I don’t think he come back he’s the right answer in the salary B the same and he’s a guy who can play the five or the four yeah John Collins I know he’s talk up um I mean it’s just the right answer because Clint he ain’t gonna have it all the time especially against like the SM the the smaller stretch fives col is a better matchup and a like aung was just too and I don’t I just don’t know that he’s that short but he just he don’t do enough on the boards for me consistently and that’s the reason he can’t take Clint he’s better offensively he can stretch the floor at least he’ll shoot the three but he just can’t move Clint out of the way and we’ve gone through this too many times now Clint eventually probably does need to go to the bench which he would be okay with yeah you gotta get a you gotta get a either you get a defensive five or you get a stretch five now Clint is expiring Clinton is expiring oh then that’s then they’re G to trade him that’s your trade bait because you got a kungu locked in and he’s younger Clint is an expiring contract but what do you yeah you’re right he’s an inspiring but you could probably resign him for he’s getting paid 22 I give him five years 100 million $20 million a year I give him the Kung wo contract to be on the bench and just keep a Kung wow they both averaging I’m pretty sure they averaging just about I think Clint May average a little bit more boards aung averages more points because aung’s touch around the rim is so much better Clint capella every time I think he gets better it it’s he he is the epitomy of law averages he gonna hit five in a row then he gonna miss five in a row and it be his 17 board yeah but but but five of them be from him missing I take 12 aung Wu never gonna get he Ain he ain’t gonna get that aung is not going to get you also Mikel parsa Jr left the field before the game was over after the Cowboys blew the game after having the he out of there he probably out of there um uh make that move yeah uh so I mean we we’ve kind of beat this dead dead horse uh shout out to the Hawks so so so do tell me how you feel about the Hawks that’s a more overarching thing oh yeah I guess I didn’t U neither one of us really did so that’s the reason I was like yeah just um I like the Hawks I think we got to make a move what that move is I don’t know well I know what it is it’s the five gotta be a big it’s got to be a five I think we either underutilizing Larry n Jr cuz he hit hit like seven threes in the game and just we didn’t play him anymore I didn’t understand it so either we’re underutilizing him or he’s been hurt or he’s not hurt he’s just our insurance policy they’re they’ve made it very clear not trading him don’t well then you don’t necessarily need a big if he’s the if he’s the insurance policy then I would play him cuz he’s 610 right 69 610 he’s taller than he’s a center he’s the NBA Center him and okung Wu actually wouldn’t be bad on the floor together because he can hit the corner three and okung Wu works better in the paint by himself and Larry n is they’re both really good pick and roles but he’s he’s an NBA Center and he can shoot the three he he can still attack the basket you just don’t have I mean akung is not the best rim protector he just can’t be he tries to be also they give a lot of cheap fouls to aung because he’s short a lot of times they he be blocking the shot and they be like nope I’m like no no and a kungu the thing I like about a kungu is he’s not scared he go it don’t matter who it is he gonna try he gonna try to dunk on you he gon get the rebound was the original Yannis stopper remember now when when when everybody was like oh I was like no we good now we had a little bit different slate of teams then yeah Anthony Davis put us Anthony Davis put us in the rim I mean but that I mean they still lost the game mhm they lost we didn’t win they lost they just don’t and oh and and Max Christie the Hawks the Hawks fans ain’t [ __ ] oh say we trade LeBron will trade you yeah they will trade you because LeBron will trade [Music] you um but I I like where we are I think healthy because there’s not a separation of teams in the East yet I think we can hang with him I think we still have bad matchups if we don’t make a trade I think we could I I do think I don’t think the Cleveland game was a fluke I think we could beat Cleveland I think we have a chance to beat them in a in a series I think we have a chance against the Bucks I think we have a chance against the Heat I think we have a chance against the Knicks I don’t know if we have a chance against the Celtics but if you make the trade to get a big to get a big then I think we’re we’re a scary I think we’re a scary team regardless especially if this is the trade we gonna get the Sixers have done us the biggest solid by being boo boo yes the Bucks have done us the biggest solid by being me to Miami not yeah the M the the Miami Heat not really making a decision on what to do with Jimmy Butler they’re doing us a solid I think that like we’re above 500 Halle Burton and the regression or not figuring it out all of those things have done us a massive massive Sil but we have to figure out how to elevate this team before somebody wakes the [ __ ] up because somebody gonna wake up like we not gonna lose the BS at 12 12 and 11 and the Hawks at 13 and 12 the bus are just now getting healthy but but we need we need to figure out how to get our team to be equal to or greater than before they ramp back up yeah we’ll find out I I like where we sit I like what I’m seeing um but the to me we’re still the number sucks though we’re number five team right now I think we could possibly drop to the play in because I think Orlando got a blessing in disguise unfortunately for them um I think fron now has the exact same injury that Pao has with Toren oblique both of them are 610 both of them can handle the ball both of them can shoot and both of them were averaging 20 plus points um but they they even after fron a like I think Orlando’s going to I think Orlando’s going to be a top three seed which then puts us down to five or six and if Philly ever gets it together because I think Joel and B Tyrese Maxi and even Paul George who I think is old if they can ever just stay healthy I think they’ll go on like one of them 20 and five runs in the second part season matter it don’t matter get me to the playoffs with that team exactly but I think that’ll they’ll push us to the play end so I think right now we’re we’re not a playing team I think we’re better than a playing team just because everybody’s bad but Middleton gets healthy for the bucks if the 76ers get healthy magic will get healthy then you still have the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers so and the Knicks I’m still I ain’t even say nothing about the Knicks who call Anthony towns is having a Renaissance he is like no y’all thought it was ant it was mu and ant and he’s playing out of his mind no we thought we always respect the call Anthony towns you just saw well he he he when he looked at that ref and said you ain’t going to call nothing fade away three get the ball come down and dunk on that I was like he did all of that in like four plays but you also giving 90% of shots at that like well you know tibs is playing you 7,000 minutes a month tips tips boy the nck OG and let me tell you out of those three players on here tibs is playing the most minutes of the last five weeks with Mel Bridges at one Josh Hart at two dear Fox at three OG anobi at four let me tell you who cannot take that workload is OG anobi he broke down last year at the end of the year and y’all just paid him $50 million a year whatever they paid him that’s that’s what I’m waiting on right now is it’s gonna happen tibs gon like tibs they beat the Hornets by like 30 they played all them players 38 something minutes like bro you up by 30 get them out of the game tibs is crazy and it’s going to come back to bite them and then everybody’s going to be like oh well if he didn’t play them all them minutes they wouldn’t have won in the first place so I guess it’s fair I’m just waiting on I’m waiting on Knicks to fall apart and they’ve been mostly underwhelming to me yeah yeah but I mean I I don’t think I think they took a step back with that trade but I do think if but also I mean they can still make another trade the trade deadline you don’t know what’s about to happen the trade deadline is not far you just said Brooklyn is about to trade everybody you could add somebody to this team I was I wanted to complain but Bridges got 16 I mean 17 points three and a half rebounds three and a half assists 47 from the field I mean that’s that’s all you can ask for when calling toal’s giving you 25 and how many rebounds 13 Jay Jaylen and call Anthony towns both giving you 25 a night 50 50 soon as we walk on the court we at 50 Jesus they balanced Jaylen and Carl Anthony towns that’s 25 and 25 OG and Mel 16 and 17 and Josh Hart just run around oh 14 points and eight and a half [ __ ] rebounds J should be why so good why J 148 and six really 149 and six Hunter and bogey averaging 20 and 15 that’s the that’s the play that they need to trade for they need to put because Josh hard Off the Bench last year is why it I mean he’s crazy if you could put him on the bench Josh Hart is your second leading rebounder then trade for a four Carl Anthony towns Mel Bridges OG anobi so good you can’t trade Josh Hart though no I didn’t say trade Josh Hart I said trade for so you would you would have to trade for somebody I don’t know what you trade because you don’t really have a bench now if you could get Josh Hart back on the bench and get a four back you don’t even need a great four you just need a serviceable four you just need a stretch four that bench see this is the reason they gonna fall apart the bench sucks Cameron pay miles McBride then they got Miguel Bridges and Josh har precious AA eventually you’ll get Mitchell Robinson back but you still don’t have then then what do you do with that do you yeah that that it’s gonna fall apart uh but shout out to Chris Paul he is down the second he’s in second place and assist all time uh only behind John Stockton who I assume that he won’t pass because he needs like 3,000 assists uh they also say that Chris paulw is about to pass Jason kid um when it comes to rebounds too you look at Chris Paul’s numbers and look at his hand why is his hand so big for him to be this little um it’s kind of unfortunate that he’ll probably never get a championship but I do think that he’s thoroughly enjoying playing with wimy I think Wy about to boost them stats wiy about to boost them stats boy he just did a no a behind the back pass to wimy on a one-legged three coming down to court I like well whatever and go ahead and get John Collins [ __ ] it you you’ll triple your you’ll do it I do it that that honestly is the right answer I do Itor get so Chan out of that four spot wimy Collins Harrison Barnes that’s a hell like it’s a very mature front court with no with no ego I I would try I would try to trade Harrison Barnes but he’s also a better shooter but you put so Chan at the three with John Collins and wimy with Chris Paul and Devon Vel with Kellin Johnson come you’d have to have Kelvin Johnson in in probably the trade but shout out Dr to Barry the leag Chris Paul man somebody to me that was done wrong he should definitely have two to three rings Adam silver may he rest in niceness comfortability in his grave man Adam Sil is alive not Adam Silver uh David David Stern yo do not kill Adam Sila who my bad my bad not Adam Silvers a liive David Stern vetoed the trade that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers with kobby Bryant and Dwight Howard which I think that was almost um so I think that’s it I but he persevered he was him and you know he’s had a controversial career not really ain’t been controversial he just didn’t like yes it has he just spit on people fight people like no we gonna keep it real I mean I think he got he also was desperate he didn’t do all those things at the beginning of his career but once you get closer to 32 30 31 32 33 34 35 you trying to win a ring and you going up against you that close you get to game seven of the Western Conference finals and you’re up by 15 and then everybody just starts missing I like Chris Paul we share the same name but n he’s also a dirty player now he’s just dirty gotta do what you got to do when you 5’11 big dog you playing against K Cunningham who’s 68 he’s your the only person that’s smaller than you or your size a point guard is Trey young only one I mean even Jaylen Bron’s big yeah but you also the point God too you yeah Jay brunon ain’t gonna end up a Hall of Famer I mean Trey might Trey stats probably gonna get him there Jaylen Bron wins a ring for the Knicks he’ll probably be go to the Hall of Fame every person that’s want ring for the Nicks w a ring I mean it I think that I don’t know about that but if you win a ring for for the Knicks Bill Jackson if you win a ring for the Knicks I I ain’t gonna say I’m not gonna say it’s the same but you’ll get so much love that you’ll be okay hey I one of a few people want all them people play Melo played for the Knicks Hall of Fame SE other people play for the Knicks yeah but what I’m saying is I think that some people might be okay with just winning like being the person who won them a ring one I took the Knicks to the championship won them a ring if you don’t put me in Hall of Fame that’s fine I’m beloved in Basket in the home of basketball I’m saying Hall of a championship in New York with the state of New York basketball is anonymous with Hall of Fame you win a championship you will go to the Hall of Fame we win a championship you’ll go to the H of Fame I mean I guess I mean the first like the Mavericks years was rough but 24 28 25 he might get there but yeah shout out to Chris Paul at the end of the day um Draymond killed Rudy I think he killed him on purpose yeah that was I so that was definitely on purpose and that and he called that play that play ain’t in the Playbook there’s no Draymond ISO in none of Steve K’s plays not none and he called ISO for Draymond and was like all right well that’s what you want to do and they did a they y’all gotta people might not like Draymond but Draymond ain’t scary and he’s a highly intelligent high IQ basketball player who’s going to be a Hall of Famer uh and then finally we just gon you know me and Reggie have kind of alluded to it the whole night Aiden is a good basketball player but Chanty Phillips has recently benched him uh and he just said he didn’t like his Spirit uh and in this game against the Jazz six points four rebounds two blocks two turnovers one steel three or seven from field from the field 0 two from free throws a minus 29 and 17 minutes and you lost to the Jazz 141 to 99 now I will say that the Jaz the Jazz are probably not the best team they Ain 42 points better than you no no no no no they don’t have nearly enough offense to put 42 on you but Walker Kessler does make it immensely more difficult for eight and the Jazz have to figure out what they’re gonna do with their roster because Danny a ain’t trying to win Danny a is trying to [ __ ] [ __ ] up for everybody else he ain’t trying to win he yeah you’re right he trying to get Cooper flag he trying to build you know what he trying to build over there the same reason that the Braves moved to Cobb County he’s trying to build something for they desired demographic yeah but the thing about that is is you don’t want to ruin keante George in the process because you you got to have a point guard and uh everything I’ve seen from Danny Angel he ain’t really trying he trying to fleece that’s all he’s been doing since Boston is fleece fleece I’m y’all don’t going to give me a job y’all trap bad talk me and all that all right bet you want a player I got John Collins for the Hawks y’all want to give him back I need double what I gave y’all I but see that’s the thing I John Collins is playing better than Lori Marinet they not gonna trade Lori I know and they drafted filipowski who’s a power forward wonder why he ain’t played told y’all now that was an unathletic dude nah filipowski is not bad it’s just nowhere for him to play well then they had if they drafted him then they they plan on trading John Collins so John Collins is probably gonna be on the Move yeah but he’s Antonio the best player on your team so John supposed to be on the bench he just played so good it’s like well I guess we have to start him but him and Walker Kessler don’t really match the same thing same thing he was in Atlanta with but I think that I think that it probably makes more sense like the basketball you want to play now to put John at the five especially if you get Cooper flag John Collins at the five Cooper flag at flag at the four L Markin at the three they all shoot and Lori Lori and Cooper can dribble John can’t dribble but then you can big man p andr keante and Colin sexon can stand out there and you could get John for about what you’re paying him now you could extend him for another four years100 million that’s a steal yep but ladies and gentlemen we come to the end of episode of 170 of the splash cast Monday Night Raw uh somehow we still made it to five hours um with that being said uh n if we a miss anything
