Hell yeah. Come on, man. He got one of the code of silhouettes of the year, man. It's only right, my boy. Get back to it, man. Shout out to ja side. Oh, yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Damn. That's good chemistry right there. Oh, yeah. That's crazy.

[Mook]

What's the Sixers record?

[DJ Wells]

We didn't want to make this dark.

[Mook]

Is it that bad out East?

[DJ Wells]

Nah, they're not that bad. They fit in the east, I believe. 17 games. 18 games.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Lou]

Yeah. They gonna be a. They gonna be a force in the playoffs if he can get fully healthy, bro. Yeah, they must run be a. That makes it easy to converse final to be honest.

[DJ Wells]

Now, we talked about this before the season started. We said if we get a full healthy version of the Sixers, whatever it looks like, can they contend with these? Is it still a possibility given so far we've seen?

[Mook]

Yeah, you just need their main players.

[Lou]

They really could win the East. To be honest, bro, it's like it ain't like the east is just fully loaded like that. Like Boston not having Jason Tatum too.

[Mook]

Much for Detroit.

[Lou]

Like full strength Philly could beat Detroit.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, if that was in the series, I'm a roll with Detroit.

[Lou]

I don't know.

[Mook]

I roll with Detroit fully healthy, bro. That's tough.

[Lou]

I think I probably roll with the Philly, honestly. Joel Embiid can get into just 80% form.

[Mook]

That's long day for Isaiah Stewart, man.

[Lou]

And Jalen Durant.

[Mook]

I don't Tobias gonna have to get in there. Elboy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but I feel like the we're seeing right now is the B we gonna see the rest of the season. And if he can stay on the court, I think that's just the pleasant. I mean, he hooped out.

[Mook]

If this thing be I might take.

[DJ Wells]

J that 30 NB now, I wanted to ask you this T. I was seen on the Internet last time they were saying, all right, yeah, we know he had 30 yesterday, but it don't look like the 30 we used to from a B. Does it matter? Cause you know what I'm saying athleticism seems to be, you know what I'm saying, a little bit gone. Just to be realistic about it.

[Mook]

To me, I don't know y' all watch more basketball, but that n's never been that athletic. He's always just been.

[Lou]

Nah, he was. He was pretty athletic.

[DJ Wells]

I mean like that I'm saying, bro.

[Mook]

He really a damn near a step back jumper.

[Lou]

Oh, yeah, he was a career like.

[Mook]

He ain't Dwight Howard, bro.

[Lou]

He was a really good defender at one point.

[Mook]

No, he was. I'm talking about like on the office event. But like I've never been doing.

[DJ Wells]

I would never see a world where, you know, saying Embiid is Getting his shot blocked by Triple J at the rim like that. Like normally, that is.

[Mook]

Yeah. Getting off the ground at all them sketches nailed to the floor for sure. But he is gonna get. He is he. If he can give them this. He gotta do 22 and 6. I don't know if that's gonna be. But a double double machine, it could get ugly for them, bro. Cause they still got Andre Drummer hitting the glass, too.

[Lou]

Yeah, yeah. I don't. They don't play Andre Drummer no more.

[Mook]

They. They deep.

[DJ Wells]

They need to. They need to tap in.

[Mook]

But that's what I'm saying. The playoffs ain't gonna have to play him, though. Joel Embiid ain't gonna be able to go every night.

[Lou]

Now, that is a fact.

[Mook]

Not. Not hard heavy like that.

[Lou]

The beauty about the playoffs, you get days off.

[Mook]

You got what, that two day window.

[Lou]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mook]

Cause I'm like, damn. Y' all always talk about how. And we love the Pistons, you know, all respect, but y' all always talking about boy by itself. Double C by himself.

[Lou]

I ain't saying they don't got good players, but that Philly team, man, with Tyrese Max being able to, like, take over games like he can. And if you just get two games out of seven game series, if you can get Joel Embiid to give you 30 points.

[Mook]

Who the hell's gonna call Paul George? He got VJ Esco. They have that can score the ball like that.

[DJ Wells]

They do.

[Mook]

To score. Yeah.

[Lou]

Oh. I mean, they the same.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

It's healthy now. I ain't doing that, y'.

[Lou]

All.

[DJ Wells]

That might be the one team that kind of. They can deal with like the guard death, too, because we'll talk about Detroit in the Show. But they got them boys off the bench. They get to it like Ron Hyde.

[Mook]

Mar.

[DJ Wells]

Sasser. They got guys off the bench, that team who get to it. But low key. So do the Sixers. You know what I'm saying? You got Quinn Gr.

[Mook]

Bro. If them is healthy, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Jer Dono get on tick like it's.

[Mook]

Seven people on their team that can get a 20, bro. On the Sixers team, bro. Easily.

[DJ Wells]

That. That is true. That's true.

[Lou]

Go ahead.

[DJ Wells]

One of the house game was crazy, boy. They was getting to it.

[Mook]

Seven on the pistons that can get 20.

[DJ Wells]

You ain't wrong there. Afterwards is crazy. That's so disrespectful.

[Lou]

We already watched it again.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, now we just running back again. That's crazy.

[Lou]

But we can cut him because. Let's talk real basketball. Because if you think about it.

[DJ Wells]

Just put back crazy.

[Lou]

He gonna be good, too.

[DJ Wells]

Like that.

[Mook]

Yeah, yeah. All right. Joel Embiid lost his athleticism.

[Lou]

You feel me, bro?

[DJ Wells]

That. That ain't normally happening. Shout out to bj. Damn. Don't do QG like that, man. Ot.

[Mook]

You can stop it, Lou. What you about to say, Jeff?

[DJ Wells]

Like, if you.

[Lou]

If we talking real basketball. The. The biggest thing of this week is Trey Young.

[Mook]

Yeah, you can stop it, Louis.

[DJ Wells]

Boom. We shot BJ because that's cool.

[Lou]

They be. They beat Memphis. Memphis a bad team.

[DJ Wells]

That's cool.

[Lou]

Whatever. But the biggest thing is Trey Young. You know, I'm a Hawks fan. I'm a Trey Young fan. And my biggest thing to Trey. I don't know if you watch the show or not. Hopefully you do, but if you watch the show, don't fall in the trap. I fell in a trap when I was in Atlanta, when it was time to get traded, try to play villain. You start saying stuff like, it's cool. Y' all don't want me. I want to be here. Don't do it. I did that because once you leave, you get traded as part of the NBA, you still gonna be loved there. And your jersey still gonna get retired. Cause you was a killer in that jersey. They gonna retire your shit. Don't fall for it like I did. I started saying stuff like, I ain't like it there anyway. Da, da, da, da. And that wasn't true. Cause I was home, and I loved Atlanta, and I love playing for the Hawks. And I know he do, too. So part of the game. Don't nobody really stay with one team the whole time. But when we thinking about it, I got a trade scenario for him.

[DJ Wells]

Talk to me. Me.

[Lou]

I'm the biggest thing. I want him to get paid. And you know I always trade everybody.

[DJ Wells]

To this team, bro.

[Mook]

Come on.

[Lou]

Trey gotta go to the King.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, my God. That's what we was waiting on for him to go.

[Mook]

When give Martin Luther King speeches. I hate it.

[Lou]

Think about it.

[Mook]

Tyre is golden for that. I hate that stop, bro.

[Lou]

No, no, no, really think about it, though. Who's gonna pay Trey Young? Max Dollars?

[Mook]

Who those are? I want to hear you.

[Lou]

No, I'm asking y'. All. Think about it. So if he get traded to the Rockets, that mean you got to give up some value pieces for the Rockets? I mean, you got to give up Jabari Smith Jr. Or the Thompson Twin. Reed shepherd and Van Fleet gonna have to be a part of that. But do you. Do you risk your future on Trey Young? Do you give up a Thompson Twin or Jabari Smith, who are really good defenders and big wings and stuff like that, when you got an agent? Kevin Durant?

[DJ Wells]

Nope.

[Lou]

Do you give up that for a six foot point guard and you still got an Asian Kevin Durant? I don't think the Rockets do that. Me, as Trae Young fan, probably one of the biggest fans I know the game is about getting paid. Like, don't nobody hoop and not want to get paid. Why you shouldn't get paid, right? Who looking for a franchise point guard?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Lou]

Sacramento Kings. Who gonna give you a max deal to come play? Sacramento Kings. Who gonna try to figure out how to build around you? They ain't never built around nobody, but shit. Yeah, they try to figure out on a max deal.

[Mook]

Man, I'd rather him get traded to Utah, man.

[Lou]

Utah ain't gonna pay him.

[Mook]

All right, is it not the Kings. Not the Kings, man.

[Lou]

Who else gonna pay him? Look, who else gonna pay him?

[DJ Wells]

That is. The question that I've been seeing is like, okay, if Trey does get traded, who is going to, you know what I'm saying, extend his contract? Who's going to get another deal and.

[Lou]

The Hawks can get something back for him, And I ain't. I don't even want him to trade him. I don't want him to trade. Trade on.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, and it was getting crazy too, huh?

[Zen Nicotine Ad]

Nah.

[Lou]

They like the young boy.

[DJ Wells]

They like Ryan Rollins.

[Lou]

Yeah, they like him.

[DJ Wells]

And they probably go in for a bargain. Yeah. Now be here. I seen one team. No, I'm saying rumor mill, Minnesota. How you feel about that? That was like, you know what I'm saying? You could hide his defensive efficiencies with Rudy Gobert back there. And you got AE as the wing.

[Mook]

I'm solid. Cause y', all, we wanted to send John Morant there. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with that. You can pay Trey Young.

[Lou]

You think they give Trey Young a max deal?

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Lou]

When you got Anthony Eris on the max, you still got Julius. Who you giving.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, who you giving up in that trade scenario that had Julius Randall?

[Mook]

So you said, talk some good, Lou.

[Lou]

You giving up Julius Randall? Hold on. You're giving up Julius Randle, another big wing when you in the west where it's nothing but big wings, right? Yeah, you got LeBron Luca with the Lakers, the Nuggets. You need bodies for Jokic, huh? So you want to start Jalen McDaniel and Nas and go Bear.

[Mook]

I'm cool with that. On, God.

[Lou]

I want y' all to Go look at Julius Randle's numbers.

[Mook]

He killing.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, balling this. I just like.

[Lou]

Y' all just take a look.

[DJ Wells]

I respect that.

[Mook]

Bring me Trey.

[DJ Wells]

I feel like if we got Trey Young and, hey, you're gonna have to figure us out. Yeah. Now dude's killing this year. 2376.

[Mook]

Yeah, man. He doing his thing, but I'm not mad at.

[Lou]

I'm not mad at. The only thing that is difficult about going to Minnesota is not too many point guards. Really been successful in Minnesota. This is no shade. I played in Minnesota, and I'm not hating, but everybody that go there, and they be like, I'm about to have a moment in Minnesota. D' Angelo Russell, they were so excited to get him. It hit the fan. He was out of there and this fast. Mike Conley was there. He was a consummate pro. But Mike Conley is a way different player than Trey Young. Yeah, Mike Conley is a. I run the offense. I get to the corner, catch and shoot. I can play pick and roll. But, hey, I'm a good defender.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Lou]

You know what I mean? I'm a constant pro, but I'm just. I'm a better defender than I am an offensive player. Trey Young isn't. He's not the best defender in the world, but he is a dynamic offensive player.

[DJ Wells]

That's a fact.

[Lou]

He gotta go to his. He's so. He gotta. Yeah, he gotta go somewhere they can build around him. Yeah, bring him. Bring.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, now you. Now you cooking.

[Mook]

Bring the gang back.

[Lou]

Bring the gang back. Elite Mocan.

[DJ Wells]

Get that. Yeah, there we go.

[Lou]

Sacramento, Brooklyn, where they could build a ranch.

[Mook]

I love Mike to death. Nothing, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Why would you send him to bk?

[Lou]

Why would you put him in Minnesota.

[Mook]

Where he has a chance to play winning basketball like y' all always say.

[Lou]

Yeah, it's cool to win, but who gonna. They get paid first? You gotta get paid.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

After every.

[Lou]

I hate Brooklyn and then going to.

[DJ Wells]

The west, like, I love it.

[Lou]

I'm being for real. Like, they gonna be competing against Denver. So that. That Jamal Murray matchup and Trey Young, that's a matchup now, right?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, you gotta go see some guards out West. He got.

[Mook]

He for sure, though.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Lou]

Luca Autumn, like, but what the.

[Mook]

What do you want him to do with the Canes and Brooklyn besides get rich?

[Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Mpj, he's definitely been in the trade toss he balling this year. He said I could never average 25. He's after 25.

[Mook]

Yeah, I knew he was gonna do.

[Lou]

That, but I like over there with him. Him and Trey Young get together, bro.

[Mook]

You gotta give him somebody else, bro. I let him do this, bro. They gonna be sad as fuck. Yeah, and niggas gonna be mad, bro.

[Lou]

They not gonna be mad.

[Mook]

They gonna be mad. That shit ain't super. It better be. It better be. Motherfucking EBC in 2003, motherfucker.

[Lou]

Every night it's gonna be a high scoring game. It's gonna be exciting, but it ain't no pressures. Like, you can max him out. You can try to build around him and mpj Try to get some quality players around. They still young, but they like 26, 27, I think.

[Mook]

I think you know Trey Young way better than me, bro. I think he want to win, bro.

[Lou]

I'm not saying he don't want to win, but I bet he want to get paid more than he d. GR Say.

[DJ Wells]

That's the conversation. Yeah, we will see. But yeah, yeah, I've been seeing it there.

[Lou]

You will win. You won't get paid.

[Mook]

You know me.

[Lou]

That's just the truth. So I'm. I'm looking at scenarios where he can get paid. Like, obviously, if he want to take a pay cut, he probably can go to 20 teams. But who trying to take a pay cut when you a all Star? And I. You said Milwaukee, but I'm just like, they just tried it with Dane, so I'm figuring out like, damn, y.

[DJ Wells]

Nothing.

[Lou]

I mean, he could play anywhere. I'm talking about just getting paid.

[Mook]

Yeah. Get rid of one of them healthy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Lou]

I'm just saying getting paid. I'm talking about rj.

[DJ Wells]

Now we talk about this. Orlando.

[Lou]

I like Orlando.

[DJ Wells]

Orlando sucks.

[Mook]

Jalen Suggs, the pastor and who else?

[Lou]

That's what I'm saying. We ain't. We ain't taking that back. You gonna do something? We take. We take Jalen Suggs in.

[Mook]

Y' all need Jalen something on that back court.

[Lou]

Yeah, we take Jalen Suggs, but we.

[DJ Wells]

Can draft a guard in the draft.

[Lou]

We probably need, like, Wendell Carter. Yeah, we probably need something like that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, the Magic's up there. We ain't gotta get on Franz or P5 or DB oh, yeah.

[Lou]

Somebody coming. One of them three coming.

[DJ Wells]

This was. I was still acting.

[Mook]

Hey, Jeff was loaned up.

[Lou]

[DJ Wells]

Imagine.

[Lou]

Now we're the Magic. Now we're the Magic.

[DJ Wells]

Get what you get in. No Thor fit.

[Lou]

So. No, I probably would take D Bang and somebody. I don't know, but I wish they could just work it out and try to stay in Atlanta.

[DJ Wells]

PG next to Dyson Daniels is nasty basketball.

[Mook]

No, we don't want that.

[Lou]

Nah, Jalen, our point. But I just hope that they figure it out because I want Trey to stay in Atlanta, bro. But don't crash out Trey, man. Your jersey gonna get retired, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Well said, man. Yeah, I send the narratives, man. They've been blaming all this stuff on him, man. Yeah, yeah, you a Hawks legend, boy. Don't let him talk to you any different, man. All right, man.

Shout to safari.

[DJ Wells]

[Lou]

That. That ain't it.

[DJ Wells]

That ain't it.

[Lou]

That was classic Brian.

[Mook]

Seventeen, though. Dj, you like that. Y' all don't like seeing Brian score.

[DJ Wells]

17, man, last night, LeBron James look old, bro. I was watching that game. He looked old.

[Lou]

Oh, my life, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I was like, damn, bro.

[Lou]

Shout out to my woo.

[DJ Wells]

But when we was locking him up, I'm like, I didn't want to say that, but in my mind, I was like, there was an ISO in the third quarter where he was comfortable abroad. I was like, bro, this is crazy. I was like, that was a moment.

[Mook]

For Woo right there.

[Lou]

Yeah, I know you gonna take that picture with your kids, man.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. That's nasty work, man.

[Lou]

This is a version of Brian I never wanted to see.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. Oh, yeah.

[Lou]

Shout out to my dog shots. Shout out to bees, bro. V said the truth last night. Yeah, I'm gonna let y. Y' all go look it up, man. V spoke the truth.

[DJ Wells]

Out to bees, Jake. Naptown's finest. Find the ground, brother.

[Mook]

He stepped on this foot, though.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, he stepped on that twin. That's what happened.

[Mook]

It's all right, Jake. That's Cat.

[Lou]

He's a cone, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, he's not even looking at LeBron. Don't even care that he right there.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, shout out to Jake. Boy, you earned your money last night. Bir a lot of calories in straight W. This Piston scene, bro. Them young boys off the bench, bro. R. Holland played super well yesterday, that third quarter. Sorry. Marcus Sasson.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Get out the way. He different, bro.

[Mook]

Really? Six eight, bro. Funny.

[Lou]

He said it, bro. Y' all go look up his tweet. He said, okay. Better than Luca. Who would y' all rather have Katie Luca be here?

[Mook]

Luca, I love Cade.

[Lou]

Give me K, bro. He actually played defense, bro. Nobody says K's a cone, bro. And there's no disrespect to Luke. I think Luke is one of the greatest offensive talents we've ever seen.

[DJ Wells]

Facts.

[Lou]

But it's just two sides of the basketball, and I wasn't even a defensive guy. Like, y' all know me. I probably was a cone. But it's too, like. It's too glaring, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Like, everybody.

[Lou]

Like, when everybody in the world knows you not gonna stop nobody. Yeah, that's kind of. That's kind of up.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, well, you got compilations, and you just chilling, bro.

[Lou]

And then when you can score, I mean, K can score just as good as Luca. I mean, Luca probably a little bit of better score, but it ain't, like, just too far apart where, like, k can't get 30, or now he can. I think he can get 30 every night. If he really, really tried.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, you're gonna say he probably closer to now, ain't he?

[Lou]

He probably averaged, like, 27, 28.

[Mook]

But K, the booking for show.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lou]

Like, he ain't far off of it, and he can distribute just as good. He got. He averaged nine assists, too, so.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I ain't mad at it, bro.

[Lou]

I'll just take the defensive side of the ball a little more. Like, that team is they guard. Ain't nobody getting picked on on that whole Detroit team. Nobody getting picked on. You ain't ice on nobody, like, every time down, even though Luca was still busting that. But, yeah, eternal.

[Mook]

I. I just. I just need Luca, though. I need Luca, bro.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Unguardable, bro.

[Lou]

Why you need Luca, though?

[Mook]

Because he's unguardable, bro.

[Lou]

You don't think K unguardable?

[Mook]

Kate is for sure.

[Lou]

But what makes Lucas so much better than K? I just. I'm just saying, from your point of.

[DJ Wells]

View.

[Mook]

I think he breaks the defense down better than K, bro. No matter who you put on Luca, bro. Not saying somebody can guard K, but I swear to God, Nobody in the NBA, they tried it, right. He moved 2 miles per hour, like, so for you to drag niggas, bro, You. You move like Zadrona Silgaska spro me do at the guard position. Ah, yeah. I don't know.

[Lou]

He definitely one of the greatest scores we ever seen.

[Mook]

Cade is a freak athlete, like, for sure. Six, eight. Like, that's still crazy to me, but I don't know. I just. Luca.

[Lou]

Luca. Six, eight, two.

[Mook]

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. He moves a thousand times slower and gets these insane numbers.

[DJ Wells]

Like those setbacks from Luca look like he barely moving, bro. Niggas be giving their best effort, bro. There was one possession the game last night, but Ryan Holland contested every pump fake spin. It doesn't matter, bro. I'm just nice n. It's hell of a conversation, though.

[Mook]

K. K needs some more respect in the league for sure. Especially with what he.

[Lou]

His stats are crazy as hell.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, Lucas stats is insane, bro. 34, 89.

[Mook]

Ain't too much more he can do, bro. I'm just playing with some sad bro, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I average 34. That's why y' all got Jerry Vanderbilt and Ruy.

[Mook]

Where did y' all get these?

[DJ Wells]

It wasn't why you on offense?

[Mook]

That's why K can play. So comfor. I think K to kill on any team, but he got tnp with him, bro. He do like, I swear to God, like Isaiah Stewart really be Locking.

[Lou]

God damn. The Pacer sucks.

[DJ Wells]

I told y'.

[Lou]

All.

[DJ Wells]

We get AJ the best player.

[Mook]

Watch. Y' all gonna have the. And the Pacer gonna have the 25th pick, 26 draft.

[DJ Wells]

And I ain't gonna lie. I knock all this over. If we had the five top five, I will lose it.

[Lou]

I ain't gonna lie.

[DJ Wells]

Stop, bro. We don't need the energy from you, bro.

[Lou]

Nah. Yeah, y' all don't deserve AJ the best.

[DJ Wells]

Yes, we do, bro. Our best player got hurt in Game 7, bro. He put online, bro. For the dynasty. We deserve this, bro, because I just don't feel like.

[Lou]

I don't feel like they gonna let him hoop, bro. Like Ben Mather in a good player, bro.

[Mook]

And I just don't feel like they essentially the same. They gonna do the same.

[DJ Wells]

But respectfully, he not the number one pick in the draft.

[Mook]

He's not. But offensively, like, he was top 10, though.

[DJ Wells]

That's a fact.

[Mook]

Ben Matheran helped carry the patience as well.

[DJ Wells]

That's a fact. And I. I don't understand the. Hey. Besides, they don't like each other.

[Mook]

But that's why Jeff saying, why Risky with another black franchise player? If you ain't gonna let him. If you ain't gonna let him run?

[DJ Wells]

But the number one pick, you have to get rid of your coach. If he don't like that, now, you can't do it for Ben Mather because however they feel. But for the number one pick, if your coach don't want to adapt to that style, then it's time to get a new coach.

[Lou]

But you and him and Pascal will.

[DJ Wells]

Be fired, though, bro, with Tyrese pushing the ball. Yeah, we will. We'll step on. We weak, but, hey, shout out to the Pistons, man. Keep holding down. For sure. All right. We in a super chat this morning.

[Lou]

I'm excited to see Tyrese come back to basketball, though.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, the basket.

[Lou]

I ain't gonna lie. Not even trying to be funny, though. And y' all know me and Tyrese got, like, a. Well on my end. We got, like, a little hate relationship. He probably don't think nothing about me.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Lou]

But it's actually not fun when I'm not playing basketball. He actually an exciting player.

[DJ Wells]

Yes, bro.

[Lou]

He bring, like, some excitement to the game. He make the game look fun, and so it's cool, like, to be able to hate on him. Like, I miss not being able to hate on him. That sucks. But he's really a really good player, and I like watching him play, actually, though.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro, 1,000% oh, yeah. This roster, we can't do.

[Lou]

The only thing I'm gonna say, though, is everybody been hurt on your team.

[DJ Wells]

Like, literally, like, Toby's out.

[Lou]

Oh, Toby.

[DJ Wells]

Obi said we got Toby. He on 10 days.

[Mook]

So challeng this, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I don't know. These. Yeah, Obi been out. Obie N. Smith was out. We still out. Yeah, bro. Been missed a lot of games. Yeah, bro.

[Lou]

Y' all been, like, hit with the injury bug, like, very bad, so.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, boy. Q Jack.

[Lou]

But I'm starting to think it might be a fix. Y. Y' all really trying to get the number one pick, and I respect it.

[DJ Wells]

The NBA better reward us. That's all I gotta say. We play local basketball all season long. We deserve this. We never got number one pick, bro.

[Mook]

No, y' all don't need a stayed the best.

[DJ Wells]

Yes, we do, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, I got Ben Shepard, bro.

[Lou]

What?

[DJ Wells]

Cheating?

[Mook]

Oh, for sure, bro.

[Mook]

We deserve AJ Bro, Y' all got Ben Shepard, bro. Rock out.

[DJ Wells]

I rather have Ben Simmons give us loose my patience. We'll be back next year. You know the vibes for sure. All right, man. If Moot and T could play on NBA team together now with prom skills, which team would y' all pick?

[Lou]

DJ Hit the pergola one time for the game.

Well, the way to.

[Lou]

The way to looking now will go to the Pacers. They got six Wi.

[DJ Wells]

Sound like trying to play. No, I mean, you get Hillbur. It's amazing. Draft was already top all time. Lucas Shade, Trey, MPJ Brush, and Triple J. That class is deep as hell. Some killers in that draft for sure.

[Lou]

That's a pretty good class, man. They got mvp.

[DJ Wells]

Two of them.

[Lou]

Nah, Luca ain't want MVP yet.

[DJ Wells]

He gonna get one.

[Mook]

That's a fire. Five, though. Six.

[DJ Wells]

That's all killers. Let's look at that draft while we're here.

[Lou]

I mean, it's okay.

[Mook]

Six. Six strong All Stars, six Hall of.

[Lou]

Fame, five Hall of Famers.

[Mook]

Trey Young, MPJ Gotta make the All Star game for sure, y', all, man.

[Lou]

Hell no.

[DJ Wells]

It's quiet, bro. The numbers ain't be. But it's quiet, bro. To the Raptors.

[Lou]

I think it's a good draft, actually. Terrible.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna say you got scroll, boy.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Collar Sexton is decent.

[DJ Wells]

Sj. Miles.

[Mook]

Miles Bridges. That's solid.

[DJ Wells]

Robinson, mpj.

[Mook]

Nah, that's cool, boy.

[DJ Wells]

[Lou]

That shit get wicked.

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[Mook]

Well, I remember Lonnie Walker.

[DJ Wells]

That was Lonnie Walker.

[Mook]

No, that's pretty good. That draft is true.

[Lou]

They got a lot of quality NBA players.

[Mook]

Anthony Simon's on there.

[Lou]

That's.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, a lot of GMs up. This draft is all I keep seeing.

[Mook]

Tom Lure Williams, they got some solid pieces.

[Lou]

And we drafted up Mars filming.

[DJ Wells]

It was on. I ain't mad at it. Some killers in there for sure. All right. What's up 520. Who's a hooper? Y'? All Wish this younger generation would know. Watch more of mine. Is Brandon Roy. One of the coldest. Fully healthy for sure. Out to B. Roy one to ones any players I think the generation should tap in with. He. He's always on Twitter now. I think more kids know Michael Red. Michael Red was a dog in his day, bro. Michael Red was a bucket.

[Mook]

My dog. Wilson Chandler.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, shout out to Ill Will.

[Mook]

That's my dude right there. Me.

[Lou]

Mine's probably be like. I always look at point guards, but if you was a small point guard, make sure you go watch Luke Rittenhardt when he was at Oregon Bucket. He was a skinny little white dude. Used to get to it, man.

[DJ Wells]

Who better? Luke right now or Steve Blake?

[Mook]

I agree with Lou.

[Lou]

I like Luke, but it's probably Steve. I think it's probably Steve Blake. But I like Luke right now.

[Mook]

Yeah, I'm taking Luke.

[Lou]

But when y' all see Luke right now in person, bro, he probably 611 60.

[Mook]

You'll walk right past him, man. What for sure?

[DJ Wells]

His college mixtape is insane. Look where not put in work.

[Lou]

Get into it, bro. I'll take Steve Blake, though.

[DJ Wells]

Steve black squabble too.

[Mook]

Yeah, Steve. Steve Blake act like Eminem.

[DJ Wells]

Damn. ESPN would never Luke right now. I see black comparisons.

[Lou]

This is crazy.

[Mook]

It is random.

[Lou]

It is.

[Mook]

I love him as these kids for sure, though.

[DJ Wells]

What is the three point?

[Mook]

I changed my mind for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Luke was good, though. He was a constant role player.

[Mook]

Hell yeah, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Luke was good.

[Mook]

These kids would not know nothing.

[Lou]

Oh, he would be so nice.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

He'd be so in in 2025. That's Peyton Pritchard.

[Lou]

Oh, no. Nicer than Luke.

[Zen Nicotine Ad]

Yeah.

[Mook]

He can handle the ball bearing a little.

[Lou]

And he was stronger.

[Mook]

He can handle.

[DJ Wells]

Okay. Kurt Howard.

[Lou]

Was way better.

[DJ Wells]

I'm just. I'm just going through my point guards right now. Ain't too many of them.

[Lou]

Kurt Hyrule was one of the more Number. Number 10.

[Mook]

Number 10 is elite. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Lou]

Mark Price is the best white point guard ever. Besides American white dude.

[DJ Wells]

The best white point guard.

[Mook]

Come on, man. Y' all are basketball heads. Y' all not gonna disrespect John Stockton like this. That. That's a pure.

[Lou]

I'm talking about. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

And them stats don't count. I like. I think John Stockton was cold. Stockton was cold. But I ain't never say.

[Lou]

Yeah, I ain't never say. I'm about to go to the.

[Mook]

Always tell me stats when I say some like that, but when don't like somebody swag ever.

Y' all think LeBron James is not about to be All Star weekend? It's crazy.

[Lou]

He's gonna be a starter.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I was gonna say LeBron can average 12. He is starting an all star game. LeBron coming off the mission All Star game means he has to retire. That means the fans have turned on him.

[Lou]

Nah, I wonder if he gonna say, man, I'm. I don't want to do this. I'm tired. Like he said Christmas, I don't play on Christmas no more. About he said, I don't feel like going to this All Star shit no more.

[Mook]

I am not the problem.

[Lou]

Your worst year is my. My dream year.

[DJ Wells]

I definitely understand year for Brian this dream year.

[Lou]

I definitely understand. But what I'm saying is I can't see Brian having rookie stats no more. Like that's just not good for my love of the game. He too good of a player. Too legendary to ever. I never wanted him to have Michael Jordan stats at the end of his career.

[DJ Wells]

Stats?

[Lou]

Yeah, that's.

[Mook]

That's Wizard J.

[Lou]

That's Wizard Michael.

[Mook]

Do that in the playoffs.

[Lou]

Like this is Mike 20. Mike average 20, didn't he?

[Mook]

LeBron got to start acting like Kawhi man. Sit some games out. LeBron gonna kill in the playoffs.

[Lou]

Begin a season he missed the whole first time.

[Mook]

I need some more, bro. I'm 41 years old, bro. LeBron go get in the playoffs. Average 25.

[DJ Wells]

Unfortunately, his team does not have the luxury of him sitting out because Austin Reeves is out. So if you leave Lucabot himself again.

[Mook]

Y' all gonna keep hurry up. Get your together.

[DJ Wells]

But he's out for at least another four weeks.

[Mook]

Probably six, right? He's hurt for.

[DJ Wells]

How much you average 26.

[Mook]

That's why they had to change the rule.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he was in the MVP voting.

[Lou]

17 game, bro.

[Mook]

82 game season, bro.

[Lou]

Y know they just like Mike too much, bro. At that point, bro.

27 was just. He was rusty.

[Lou]

Yeah, that retired after averaging 32 points a game.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro. It's different.

[Mook]

Bro. Michael Jordan is a different specimen, bro.

[Lou]

Come on, man. It's crazy, bro.

[DJ Wells]

The Goat Man.

[DJ Wells]

Y' all really sad.

[Mook]

I am better than Dr. Oh.

[DJ Wells]

Y. I did need to go play baseball.

[Lou]

[Mook]

That's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Then he came back with the Wizards. He was just like, y' all still suck. Like, oh, and y' all still suck now. They was out of pocket when he.

[Lou]

Was with the Wizards.

[DJ Wells]

They was just. They just like, respectfully, nobody. Wizards should be in MVP conversations.

[Lou]

That was a 23. MVP voting is crazy.

[Mook]

After MJ went out the right way to me, everybody else who get old, bro, them stats be looking wicked at the end. Them wicked.

[Lou]

I'm saying. Brian averaging MJ last stat, I wanted Bron to have like. Like, leave averaging 25. I'm not saying he can't get there, but, like, you know what I mean?

[DJ Wells]

I feel you.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. We want to see how. See how legends like this man get well soon to the Lakers, man. Open the majors. Don't hurt y' all too much, man. You got a couple highlights from this. Oh, yeah. Got bouncy yesterday. Hey, I ain't mad at it.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Lou]

Damn. He dunked on Derek White.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, something light, too.

[Mook]

Derek White thought he could block everything last night.

[DJ Wells]

He has seven. I ain't mad at.

[Mook]

It was strong enough.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to young boy for sure.

[Mook]

I love that young boy.

[DJ Wells]

All right, man. Moving on. The Clippers beat the living out of the kings yesterday. 131 to 90. Kawhi had 33. 5. 5. Go ahead, load him up, bro. Kawhi back, bro. He feel like hooping again.

[Lou]

Yeah, Kawhi feel like.

[DJ Wells]

And this is where you want to send Trey Young to a team that scored 90 points yesterday.

[Lou]

They need him.

[Mook]

They would have 110 of Trey was there.

[Lou]

I mean, they ain't even trying, though. And mind you, I don't want to send Trey there because I want him to be traded.

[DJ Wells]

I know.

[Lou]

I'm just saying, if he want a max deal.

[DJ Wells]

So who do y' all take back in that trade from the Kings?

[Lou]

They got a lot of options. They got some bonus. They got Zach Levine that we can take. We can bring Dennis Schroeder back as a backup guard hard with Zach Levine. We can make it.

[DJ Wells]

So Sabonus and Troll are you something. If that's the play, betray. Okay.

[Lou]

I mean, they got first round picks. They don't have a high pick. I mean, yeah, you can Work out something with the Kings. I'm. I'm just saying, a team that he can get a max deal on. Trey Young care about having a max? Yeah, these are the kind of teams I'm trying to go to. Like Houston, obviously. If Houston willing to trade a lot of pieces for you, you gonna get a max. So whoever trade for you most, I mean, for the most part, they gotta give up something good so they gonna max you out. Cause they know they giving up their future or whatever it is. So you gonna get a max deal. But I'm just saying, if nobody's willing to give up their future and they like, nah, we. We good. I need to go here, here. Because we know I'm gonna get a max deal here.

[DJ Wells]

That's fact. Kings will pay. They pay. Ro is insane right now. In a bad spot for sure. All right. Be here. Fresh off the fishing trip. The real is back. How you feeling?

[DJ Wells]

[DJ Wells]

If this Amos came back after 15.

[Mook]

If he cut back, bro, Mip, somebody's gonna give you. Somebody give him a shot.

[Lou]

I don't think nobody give him a shot.

[Mook]

He wouldn't do it if he didn't think he could get a shot back. What would he do all that for? Bro? He been on vacation, bro. He don't care. He paid. If he didn't think somebody was. Somebody was calling him like, hey, man, get back in the gym. Let's see if you can do it again.

[Lou]

I got a theory. Okay I said it yesterday on the.

[Mook]

Cleveland Charge that sound like a football team can't charge.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah they def XFL team name for sure.

[Mook]

Oh good pass Cal doing D bro. Shout out to Cal man.

[DJ Wells]

I got Guy 520 alumni for sure. Classic episode if you're not familiar. What's your theory?

[Lou]

For real, what's your what's your theory? T so I said it on somebody Instagram post yesterday. I randomly came across it and then Rick Patino kind of second what I was saying. I was like since we so far behind with basketball and like the Europeans they play basketball so early in the G league. No disrespect to Kyle guys, it's really not. It's good basketball but it's not the second best league in the world world people will pick euro, you know the Euroleague.

[Mook]

No a thousand percent.

[Lou]

With college being like it is now, obviously you make more money in the G league and sometimes you make more money than going overseas and penalty in the Euroleague. We might as well just turn college basketball. It's already a pro sport because you get paid to our feeder system RG League like let guys play to you 2425. Once you get 2425 you got to make a decision. If you can make it to the NBA, you go to the NBA. If you can't then you get a chance to go overseas because it's already pro basketball. But now you get in so now our game is becoming better. The college game will come better because we're going to get more people from overseas because they getting more money. You know I Mean they'll be getting more money than playing in wherever they playing is. And it's more opportunity. It's a 100 D1 school. I don't know how many Power 5 teams it is, but it's more than the G league.

[Mook]

Yeah, facts.

[Lou]

So you got more opportunity to play, be seen and still make money. And you ain't gotta be away from your family. That's what I think. You might as well just turn into it. It's already that.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's what it is. It just ain't put to that extent like you saying, like it's already. It's bro, you're a pro. As soon as you leave high school, you're a pro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, you're a pro and even California. So he was just like, why would I recruit any high school player? Why recruit? It's a 25 year old hungry that needs a job and he gonna come kill. Bro, you high school kids. Why am I even looking at y' all anymore?

[Lou]

It's the truth. And I think the reason I like it because it'll make the elites of the elite elite again. Like when you thought about basketball players, shout out to Austin Rivers, man, he always make great points. I love to talk to Austin Rivers. One down the pie. Hell yeah. But he was just saying like when you was in the NBA, when we was growing up up, everybody in the NBA, you knew they were the best players in the world. Now if you go to the NBA, you'll see that some of the players ain't the best player in the world. If you know what I mean.

[Mook]

That's true.

[Lou]

Like you would go to a game and you would be like, bro, he averaged three in college. Like you know what I mean? He averaged 4, but he's 71 with 710 wingspan and he got potential. I think now it'll change the game to all the elite players to be there.

[Mook]

Like, like I agree 100%, bro.

[Lou]

Cuz you can't go out of high school no more. So you got to go one and done. Yeah, might as well just make it like that. So if you elite in college, one and done. You're gonna be elite. All the elites gonna be in the.

[Mook]

League again for sure.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't mad at it, bro. All this so wish you watch you now. You might as well get the best product out cuz all this is crazy and everything's a business now anyway and.

[Lou]

I think it'll save a lot of lives. I know like we talked about people not graduating, but if you go play a lot of These kids growing up playing au, Their whole life is based off of basketball. But now you're giving them, let's say, 24. You give them six years to get their life together. It's all good.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Have a chance. I ain't mad at it at all.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

All right, man, listen, it is New Year's Eve. I want to ask y' all a couple questions before we get out of here. What is the craziest thing that happened in basketball this year?

[Lou]

Why y' all laughing so hard, bro?

[DJ Wells]

I'm scared to see it. Anytime these is all laughing together, it's always some wilder super chat. Oh, that's. That's never good. All right, let's go through some of these things, see how y' all feel. Luca trade and the mas won the lottery. Yeah.

[Lou]

That was kind of crazy.

[DJ Wells]

That was crazy. Nobody saw that coming. One of the biggest moments in basketball definitely took place last year. The Pacers playoff run was insane last year.

[Mook]

That's the biggest. That's number one for me.

[DJ Wells]

Number one?

[Mook]

Yeah. That should have never happened.

[DJ Wells]

And that's fucking crazy.

[Mook]

That was a big shocker to the world. Y' all made it all the way to game seven, bro.

[DJ Wells]

My dog didn't get hurt, bro. We was winning that chip, man.

[Mook]

Yeah. Respect. So that's probably the craziest one for me.

[DJ Wells]

The Achilles situation. Everybody get hurt. I mean, obviously that's not the best. Listen, the Rico man. Free Chauncey, man. Free Terry Rosier. That was crazy.

[Mook]

That was.

[Lou]

I think that's the craziest for me.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Lou]

Like the fact that, like, you was the head coach of a basketball team in the NBA making millions, and then you get caught in a gambling ring. I never seen that come coming.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, not at all. Even with, like, the Dante Jones? Yeah. That was insane, man. Yeah, well, wish everybody involved. For sure. Papa Tor and the Kawhi scandal, that was insane as well. The Clippers just now getting back from that. And Brian and Stephen A. Was funny as hell, too. The uncle.

[Mook]

That was the funniest one for me.

[Lou]

Yeah, that was funny.

[Mook]

That was funny.

[DJ Wells]

Out of these, which one you say you going? Pacers.

[Mook]

Oh, for sure, bro. Pacers. That was a epic, epic run, bro. Nobody called that at the beginning of the year.

[DJ Wells]

Nobody.

[Mook]

You couldn't for them to take them to game seven, bro. No hate. That was fire.

[Lou]

It was fire.

[DJ Wells]

That was crazy.

[Lou]

But I don't think nobody thought Chauncey Billups was gambling.

[DJ Wells]

Nah, man. Be my dog, man. The Luca trade was crazy, though. And then them getting the number One pick. That was wild.

[Lou]

That might be number one for me.

[DJ Wells]

Nicole.

[Mook]

NBA got a lot of going on.

[Lou]

I never would have thought Luca would get traded. So that might be number one. I take that back. Luca's number one for me.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. And at no point did everybody. Nobody thought that Luca would ever be a waker.

[Mook]

Yeah, that Luca trade made it seem like everybody NBA is up for grabs at any point in time.

[DJ Wells]

Loki is.

[Mook]

That Nigga is only 25. And y' all traded away franchise player, one of the.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, give us a Nico. Hope you have a good 2026. 2025 was rough for your boy. All right, man. Predictions for next year. MVP, SGA minus 426 on Hard Rock.

[Lou]

Bet.

[DJ Wells]

Luca plus 430. Joker plus 450. And Cave plus 5,000. Yeah, well, wish is a joker. He hyper extended. His knee is out for about four weeks.

[Lou]

Weeks?

[DJ Wells]

I'm saying.

[Mook]

I ain't gonna lie, bro. K, keep rocking. I'll give it to K. I think Kate is mvp.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't mad at it.

[Lou]

I won't cade to win, but it's gonna be SGA. You can't really deny that 32, 4 and 6 and y' all the best team in the league.

[Mook]

Yeah, I was just going off how you broke it down when you was like the team.

[Lou]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mook]

You know what I mean? Like, I ain't mad, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Win it.

[Lou]

I want K to win. I think he deserves. But you can't deny that 32, 4.

[DJ Wells]

And 6 and voter fatigue gets him this year. That's crazy, cuz. Like, they've lost a handful of games. He's still killing.

[Mook]

No matter. Something on that +5000 is crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, little too disrespectful, but Jesus Christ. Might be some free money there. You never know the champions for next year. Thunder plus 100. Nuggets plus a thousand. Knicks plus 1100. Spurs plus 1200. And Rockets plus 1500.

[Mook]

Thunder up.

[DJ Wells]

[Mook]

Nobody say less.

[Lou]

I got the Spurs. The spurs got a chance.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, plus 1200. I'll put a little something on that. Spurs got a chance. Healthy Wimby.

[Mook]

Sheesh.

[DJ Wells]

[DJ Wells]

That would be crazy. All right, Rookie of the year, Cooper, flag at minus 599. Con Canopy plus 500. Derrick Queen plus 2,500. And BJ Edgecombe plus 6,000. That's so disrespectful to BJ like he a have a hell of a start to the season.

[Lou]

Yeah I got Con Canepa from my rookie of the year I think I know obviously Cooper flags been playing great of late but Con Caneppel started off he's never had a down like moment as a rookie. He's been playing great this whole time.

[DJ Wells]

It was funny cause people was talking about Cooper flag he was like he had to deal with a lot of turmoil to start his rookie season off. He was in Charlotte and that's our turmoil.

[Mook]

Nah, coffee right in man. Here man. Put this wave cap on bro. You good? Cool. Cooper had to deal with more man.

[DJ Wells]

Man, Cooper's so serious man. I don't know man but I ain't mad about his coach of the year J.B. bickerstaff plus 200 M. Johnson plus 2200 Mark D the coach of OKC at plus 3300 and Jordan I at.

[Lou]

Plus 10,000 I ain't mad at J O being coach of the year. He got them Phoenix sun rolling we after last year to have them back in playoff contention is crazy but JB.

[DJ Wells]

JB probably will get it and I'm not mad at Ms. Johnson if the spurs end up top 2 top 3 placing a legend revamping that squad that.

[Lou]

Quick, that's fire too good money to.
