Man, a lot of people have been scratching their head about this trade, man. How y' all feel about this, man?

E
Yeah, that's a lot. That ain't the vibes at all. All right, Lord Blasphemous. Who are yalls favorite bloomers? Feels that players aren't a start. By the end of their rookie year, they get written off. I think the NBA's last couple years just showed you that. Especially lottery picks, man. You got to be patient at least two or three years, man. It's very rare to get a player who comes in A rookie year and kills like that, you can't blow up your franchise off that. Especially if that lottery pick go with.
Jeff
Late blooming y' all like somebody that made it to the league and then they ain't really have success to the end like a couple years later.
E
That's a good question. I want to kind of say Orlando because even though it went too far along, but a lot of people had wrote off Jayless looks early because they had all those guards and he didn't really separate himself. But as you saw this year when people got hurt, he rose to the occasion for sure. Hell of a player. Pascal's one of them for two. Obviously he wasn't too high of a pick, but look what he turned into after a couple years even. Who just won a championship? Jalen Williams. You know what I'm saying? Year three, he got a chip. He was solid early on, but you didn't see this. You didn't see him being all defensive, all NBA, all star. So shout out to him.
Jeff
I'm gonna go with Jaylen Brown. His first couple seasons in the league, he didn't play his rookie year. Shaky. His second year, they got. Jason Tatum was playing over him.
Bishop
I'm about to say Jimmy Butler, too. I show.
Jeff
Oh, Jimmy Butler.
E
You was there for that.
T
He might be number one.
Bishop
About to say him. Yeah, he was cold always when he got the play. Jalen Bronson.
E
Yeah, him. Luke was doing damage. Obviously he was right before he left, but. But he still.
Bishop
You still ain't know he was going to be what he is right now.
Jeff
Most definitely.
E
Fred Van Fleet, for sure. Shout out to Fred Van Fleet, man.
Jeff
Yeah.
E
Undrafted to a chip. My boy went crazy. Mike Conley. We always knew Mike was gonna be good our whole life. Free Jeremy Grant, too. Good question.

All right, man. ACL man trying to make some moves, man. Shout out to the Boston man. The Celtics, they made a three team deal yesterday. Sent Porzingis to ATL with a second round pick. Terence Man, ATL's 22nd pick to the Nets. And George Niang 520 alumni. And the second rounder to the Celtics. Boy Stevens out here cooking.
Jeff
Y' all see me call George. What's in it was up. Y' all put it out. M. He ain't know. He said, I'm in a saa. Like, we just got traded.
Bishop
We going to the crib.
E
You going to the crib?
Jeff
I said, well, this how you know the NBA a joke. Yeah, he mad I been there. Like I traded.
Bishop
He like, he going home.
E
So I'm going to Boston to the crib.
Jeff
They call me back and figure out if it's true. He said, yeah, I hit you back. He text me like, yep.
E
Hey, that is crazy. Y' all be find out like your whole life about to change off a text or a report or a tweet. That is crazy.
Jeff
Why about the guy calling though? Like, shout out to Twitch B. Check us out on Twitch. Clarify Twitter, Twitch.
E
You want to see the real inside?
Jeff
Yeah. Pause. But if you.
E
If you. And it's crazy if you. That ain't on Twitch.
Jeff
If you want exclusive content, if you want to see how we truly rock on 2K, how we rock on Madden, MLB, whatever game y' all want to play.
E
I heard Malcolm carry on the Twitch man.
Jeff
Is this true? That's a lie. My last game. What I had Mount I had 20 in the first half. I ain't get the ball no more.
E
Damn. Say it ain't.
Jeff
So I started getting Gunned out. It's cool.
E
Dang.
Jeff
That's who was gunning, you know? I just played the game. I just played the game.
E
Hey, man, how you feel about your. Your Hawks, man, getting kp?
Jeff
My initial reaction was like, okay, we trying to make something happen. But then after that, I was like, zion. Cause he's not gonna play either. KP only plays 25 games a year or two.
Bishop
Yeah.
Jeff
So we got hyped for no reason.
T
I like him and Jalen Johnson, though.
Jeff
Yeah, but is he gonna play?
Bishop
Yeah, I was about to say, if he play.
T
Yes, I think he will.
E
How you feel about the KP and Trey Young pick and roll?
Jeff
I think Nas gonna have an opportunity for him to be kind of like Tyrese Halliburton. He got that floor spacing big. Now. You really can't guard Trae Young, but it just takes away the lob threat that we used to have. But he can still run pick and roll with Jalen Johnson. He could be a live threat, but with KP ability to space the floor, it's gonna be wide open for Trey.
Bishop
It's actually a great pickup. It's just a matter of health. Yeah, but if he play a solid team.
Jeff
But I don't know if they gonna start him and Big O together. If they are, I don't like it.
E
That's what I'm gonna say. You got Big O who can still get Trey on that locker. He looks for that situation, then maybe, like you said, kp, he's limited with his playing time, so you know what I'm saying. You might get a little bit of that combination.
Bishop
But I think he pissed that he in Atlanta.
Jeff
Nah, kp, he got. He.
E
He got paid. He might not be too upset. And he'd have been some places, too. My boy was a wizard, so I'm sure he probably grateful.
Jeff
No. And he hoops with the Wizards, though. I ain't gonna lie. But, nah, it's smooth in Atlanta.
E
Okay. All right, man. Celtics, they making moves. They got under that apron real quick. Save them some bread, boy. 238 M's.
Jeff
Yeah.
E
4.5 under the second apron. I know the second apron is kicking all these GMs ass, trying to make sure these contracts is lined up so they don't get taxed too much. But what we seen else in Boston, we seen, they getting calls about Derrick White, crazy moves to Jalen Brown. You think one of them might get moved as well?
Jeff
No, they under the apron. They smooth now. They gonna chill.
T
I wouldn't be surprised, though. That's One of them moved.
E
Who gonna be that big?
Jeff
Al Horford. And they're gonna have to sign back. Oh, buddy.
Bishop
Oh, he's 60.
Jeff
What's up? What's the. Luke Cornette. Yeah, they gotta resign. Luke.
E
I was gonna say. Well, they're asking out to do a whole lot, bro. He's supposed to be help, flat out, y' all.
Bishop
He healthy, bro.
E
Al Horford at 45, not supposed to be your starter.
T
He's healthy, bro.
Jeff
And they do a great job.
T
They got a great team this year.
Jeff
And they do a great job of picking, finding, like, G league bigs or guys that's not used that much in the league. They always go find them, and they come to the Celtics and have good years. Like Sam. What's his name? Sam Houser. Now, where the hell he been hurt? No, I'm saying, like before. Yeah, they go find him. Luke Cornett. He been running around the league for years.
E
Found a home there.
Jeff
Found a home. Xavier Tillman, these dudes finding homes. And they gonna be. They gonna help them this year.
E
It's time for J.D. davis. And let my boy cook this year.
Bishop
Hope they said he ain't getting it, so I'm sober. We'll be handing them.
T
Say it, bro. I got 20 a night kid that just pulled up to my city, bro. Wait your turn, bro.
Bishop
They can't get 12 minutes.
Jeff
They might as well trade 12. They can if they can get off Jalen Brown contract, I would.
Bishop
How long he been there?
Jeff
Three years.
T
Yeah.
Jeff
Yeah, he not. He's not about to get in. But if they get off of Jalen Brown, I would. I mean, I don't know. They don't want to trade Jalen Brown, but the offers that they said they get are so crazy that they might have to just be like, hey, yeah.
E
If Brad Stevens really make that move and finesse back to another, like, competent or contending team. You gotta put some more respect on his name. But if he retooled this team like that after a tragic injury, put him.
T
Up there and rap his money, Brad. Hall of Fame already.
Bishop
Yeah, you about to do it, bro.
T
Somewhere where he can rock, though. I like J.D. davidson, too. I just. We just don't have no room for you here.
E
Yeah. Now, if you send Jay, he need.
Jeff
To come to the Pacers.
T
Come who on Everything pull up. Yeah, I'm something.
Jeff
My boy average 2.8.8. They just take his stats down, man. They.
E
They disrespectful stats. My boy actually gets to play.
Jeff
I know they're disrespecting his career right now because his G league stats are incredible.
E
Od.
T
Yeah. He can really hoop. So, I mean, him coming to the Patriots, I ain't mad at that.
Jeff
Nah, I'm saying they need a guard, another point guard. Tyrese gonna be out.
T
Yeah.
Jeff
If you're gonna move Nemhard up or whoever you're gonna play, I need one more guy.
E
Come hoop.
Jeff
He can hoop for real. It ain't gonna cost you much.
E
How y' all feel about JB possibly being a rocket? We talked about them having a little bit more space, especially with the young guys. They got some assets. They can move to Boston. That might intrigue them.
Jeff
Yeah, I don't know if I love JB with kd. I mean, he worked well with Jason Tatum, so it might. It might work.
T
Who the hell you gonna. You gotta give up some.
Jeff
Yeah, you'll have to give up Jabari.
T
That's more young people. You gotta shepherd your future.
Jeff
Yeah, they ain't gonna have no future.
E
Yeah, man. Thompson, we definitely have to go on that track.
Jeff
That's the first person in that church.
E
Me and Thompson probably gonna have to go. Jabari.
Jeff
Yeah, you probably have to go. Sagon and Amanda Thompson.
E
Oh, yeah. We can't do that, Jeff.
T
Right? I need to go. And Thompson, I want this.
Bishop
That's too much, bro.
E
Yeah. I'm Brian Stevens, bro.
T
The Boston Celtics are going to be going back to the gym.
E
They don't have a whip on accident. That's crazy, man. But, hey, man, shout out to my boy Brad Stevens. Boy, he know how to play the game the right way for sure. All right, man. Corsa siab in the super chat said Nacho was selling on 2k. Last time was saving him. Damn.
Jeff
That's that homeboy, boy.
E
Oh, that's game.
Jeff
Wow. D Harper in our chat, shout out.
E
To D. What up, gang?
Jeff
He in the chat. Tell my boy.
T
Go get you some rest. Go lay down.
E
Got a big night tonight.
Jeff
My boy got a big night. We can't wait to hear your name called. Boy, you better not have a chain on. What he say he wear?
T
N. I don't wear jewelry. Yeah, you do. Don't boat up. You in New York. Hit the.
Jeff
The closest jewelry store, the one in the mall.
E
Get.
Jeff
Go crazy.
E
Get that premium sterling silver.
T
My boy damn, though. He go to the Spurs. They that's a fire pickup.
Bishop
It's a whip, bro.
T
He get to play with Wimy out the gate. They hard.
Jeff
I got to see how they going to play, though. I really want my boy to go to like, somewhere else. I ain't going to lie. I want him to get handed the ball immediately.
E
Okay.
T
Where Portland at? Like you said, Portland too high.
Jeff
I don't know who got the. The third, fourth.
T
We ain't trying to up your money deal.
Jeff
Nah, we know that toothpick is way more money. I wish you could get traded. I wish you could be the 2 pick and get traded to, like, Philly.
E
Right there, the Hornets, Utah, some bad picks.
T
Boy, he was talking crazy, though, bro. So I hope you go to the Pelicans, bro.
Jeff
I honestly, I would.
E
I hope he.
Jeff
I want him to get the 2 pick and get traded to the Suns and be the point guard with Devin Booker.
T
I like that.
Jeff
Yeah.
Bishop
Yeah.
Jeff
They hand them the ball, let them play with Devin Booker.
E
That's a fact.
Jeff
That'd be fire.
T
I like that.
Jeff
The Suns trade back, whatever it is. Suns get the big dude from Duke.
T
Then probably like Dylan Hartford. Y' all don't shut up. Nah.
Bishop
Cool, though.
E
Yeah.
Jeff
You still the number two pick.
E
I'm trying to go hoop with Wemby, bro.
T
Yeah.
Jeff
Nah, nah, nah. You want to be the starting point guard immediately, you gotta play with de' Aaron Fox. And, you know, kind of in San Antonio got that ritual where you gotta kind of, like, go through the ropes a little bit. I mean, it might have changed because Pop ain't the coach no more, but they still usually put the rookies through a little thing. All everybody. Only Wimy was the only one that played right away in Timmy. Everybody else went through a little process for sure.
E
Got to get it how you live. All right, man. The black riff raffing and super chat said, what's the best purchase y' all have made once you start making money, everyone can answer this. Bless up. Love the pod for sure. He. You want to start that.
Jeff
Look at his neck.
T
No, I ain't really went too crazy. We ain't made no money yet. Come on, bro. And y' all talk about me.
E
That was.
T
Is that not ill? That was ill. Why are you mentioning him on this platform, the real dealer?
Bishop
Then you say, hey, y' all. I ain't laughing at that.
E
Hey, y' all, Sean got a weird case. Why is he around?
T
No lie, boy. I put my hands around. I said, oh, this it's okay.
E
As answer the question. Shout and consent. Answer the question.
Jeff
We ain't getting no money yet.
T
We ain't getting no money yet.
E
I ain't made enough money yet to make purchase. We got to move on.
Jeff
Guy. No, man.
T
Get no money yet, y' all.
E
Yeah, Once we get some know. All right, man. D Bradley in the super chat said, jeff and Mook, which team would you want to go to if you're in this year's draft? It's a good question.
Jeff
Phoenix Suns facts.
E
Yeah. They do not have a point guard at all.
Bishop
Point guard.
Jeff
Yeah.
E
Going to eat day one. Get to go do it. I want to ask y' all this question before we go back in the super chat. What was y' all draft days like?
Jeff
Crib, crib.
E
Chilling about both y' all, man.
Bishop
I won lotto for the lotto.
Jeff
I think his draft is probably a little more stressful than mine. I had like, two guarantees, so I went. I was stressed, but not really.
Bishop
Yeah, it's probably a little more stress, especially get to that end. Like, oh, what's going on? I was chilling.
E
Shout out to y' all.
Jeff
My shirt was wet, though. I was sweating like, I'm on oh shirt. You know how you try to keep playing cool. Everybody like, it's all right. Really weird.
Bishop
They had picked 16 people and they all waiting on you. Get picked and you keep not getting called. You're like, I'm about to get the up out of here. This getting weird.
Jeff
I just went up there. I said with my older brother. I was really mad. My mama invited them people there. They was gone. They was in Dallas or some like that.
Bishop
Yeah, we was at a camp.
Jeff
Yeah, I was really.
Bishop
I was watching that in the hotel.
Jeff
Matter of fact, when he got drafted, I was mad. I'm like, why y' all here?
T
Damn. For real?
Jeff
Yeah. I was like, why do they invite these people? Like, because it's a weird like. Like, if you don't get picked.
Bishop
Yeah, I want to be around these people, bro.
E
I'm like, weird, y' all, look Fred Van Fleet documentary where he had the party and he didn't get drafted at all. And he had to make that speech after. I was like, man, that's probably. That sucks to have cool, bro.
Bishop
I don't not doing it. I'm just leaving.
E

Jeff
Yeah.
Bishop
I'm tight. I don't wanna talk. I don't wanna explain nothing. I'm hot.
Jeff
Yeah. And Michael Jackson died on my draft day, so it was all messed up.
T
That motherfucker was dark.
Bishop
It like Shador. He kept having draft parties every day. I couldn't have did that, bro.
T
Yeah, bro. Streamed every day.
Bishop
I would have tapped out. I'm cool. I'm gonna be by myself.
Jeff

Jeff
Everybody. I'm the one told him, too. I said, michael Jackson died, y' all. Everybody. Like, boy, don't play like that. I'm like, nah, he did. They say he died. Turn the TV on.
E
So you broke the news and messed up, man.
Jeff
They start crying. Oh, my God. Dinah start crying. She started. Oh, she started playing his songs, singing. Why would the Lord do this right now?
T
I don't know, bro. I can't cry over a. I don't know.
Jeff
I couldn't either. And I say, you know what? You know, you know.
T
And I understand that. But I just be looking at people like, damn, that's. You are really locked in with that person.
Bishop
I can't get excited when I see a person that I really watch.
T
I probably say, mike, gotta somebody ask for.
E
I've been hyped, bro.
Bishop
I can't do that.
Jeff
Have I ever got excited?
Bishop
I was a kid. I could not do that.
Jeff
I got excited to meet one person. Only person that I. I sort of. I. I wasn't excited to meet Mike if I met him a bunch of times. But I was excited to interview him. But I was really excited. Like, if we ever interview Adam Sandler. First time I found out, you get.

Luka Braun can finish his story and Lers can get a second star. LeBron going back to Cleveland is nasty. Nobody wants to see that again. I think it is his last year as Laker. I don't know if he's gonna retire.

But I think it's his last year as a Laker. Yeah, he ain't a Laker no more than retire. Where he gonna go?
T

E
I don't want to see a storyline of LeBron going back to Cleveland. I don't want to see that.
Bishop
I'm tired of Brian if he not.

No, I mean anywhere.
T
It's Brian. He averaging 25 a night at 40. He's not. He killing.

Jeff
And the rest of your fan base, bro, we tired.
Bishop

Jeff
We tired, bro.
Bishop
The Cavs his whole career.
T
No.
E
Oh, he made a great move leaving the cast first time, bro. Bro, when they. When they said that they wouldn't gonna get a mar out of mar. They wanted to keep J.J. hickson, bro. That's when I decided he deserved to leave, bro. They was out of pocket for this.

Yes, bro. Come on.
Jeff
I'm tired, bro.
T
Bro, play to the. Listen, break that record.
E
He was. But he was not a mar.

Play till you 45. 46, bro. What? Cause Brian's. Listen, y' all keep saying that. Brian want to break that record. The oldest to ever play in the NBA, bro.
E
Why I don't want to see matter because I don't want to see role players hooping on br. Bro, it's gonna piss me off.
Jeff
I seen somebody block his shot last year, and I was like, yeah, bro, Mike.
T
That's basketball.
Jeff
That's who it was. It was Mike blocked his shot. I said, Mike, 40, and you 40 and you and Mike 510 in 20.
E
20. Mike Conley would have died trying to do that. Yeah, I don't want to see that no more, man.
T
Respect, man.
E
I watched some leader. I'll go ahead. I watched.
Jeff
I watched the Morris twin try to tackle Brian in the open court, and he still hit an N1.
Bishop
Couldn't do it.
T
That's a big.
Bishop
That's a big dude, bro.
T
He's still getting in ones to this day.
Jeff
Yeah, but Mike Conley can block his shot now.
Bishop
Yeah, still average 25, bro.
T
He can play like, what do we do? 12, yo.
E
I just don't want to see him back in Cleveland, bro.
Jeff
I just don't want.
Bishop
It ain't as effective as it used to be.
Jeff
I just never Want to look at Braun Like, I had to look at Mike when he was with the Wizards.
Bishop
You don't see that.
Jeff
No.
Bishop
I was gonna get 25. Yeah.
Jeff
But I wanted to, I wanted to always look easy. Like, it don't look, it don't look as easy. Like, I, I. It started to make me forget how good he was. Like, sometimes I gotta go watch his highlights when he in Cleveland and Miami.
Bishop
Because I always remember how old he is.
Jeff
Yeah, but it make you forget because you be watching now, and then you'd be like, get by him, bro. And then you gotta remember, damn, he 40. He can't just go by this young dude no more. Like, when I see certain people switch on him, I'm like, he would never, like, switch down. It's like point guards, bro.
Bishop
Shoot a lot of jumpers now.
Jeff
Yeah. And his game had to evolve. But shout out to Brian.
E

E
Okay?
Jeff

E
They got y' all out the paint.
Jeff
Yeah, you played. You did play.
E
You played on his name.
Jeff
I think you played. Yeah, I think he played. They was hitting all threes. They was decent. Nah, it was a bad night. It's a bad night.
E
All right, man. Shout out to Kyrie Irving though. Signed that extension yesterday. Turned down the option. Got a long term deal with the maps 3 year 119.
Jeff
They show love.
E
Yes, sir. Even though my boy will be out for majority next year with the ACL injury, man, the Mavs locked him in. They got a hell of a squad so far. They are looking for PG to help. You know what I'm saying? Lead the way until he is back. See some of the names that's potentially there. You got Schroeder, you got cp. You got Lonzo also. And DLO of those point guards y' all think is the best pick for them.
Bishop
Your cp, man.
E
Cp. Yeah, I like DLO down there with that team.
Bishop
I don't.
E
I like DLO with that team, man.
T
I don't know. I'm torn with that.
Jeff
I'm. I'm gonna go with cp.
Bishop
I would say Lonzo, but I don't know if he gonna stay healthy.
E
Healthy.
Jeff
Lonzo signed the extension with the Bulls. Why everybody keep just like.
T
Yeah, he did.
Jeff
He signed a two year 20.
T
Yep.
E
Yeah. I don't know why everybody off the fake knee hey, shout out to the bounce back. Shout out to my boy. Yeah. I don't know this. This a hell of a roster, though. This is a talented roster. Especially what they supposed to add tonight. Cooper Flag. Yeah, they got a squad for sure.
Jeff
That's a squad. I ain't gonna lie. Shout out to Nico. Boy, you. You finesse the league, boy.
E
One of my favorite men's.
Jeff
You got rid of Luca. Stay under that second apron. Yeah, boy, I know what you're doing. I don't even know if they under it, but it look good.
E
They got a squad, man, they are definitely gonna be prompts next year. This one, Kyrie, get back.
Jeff
That squad kind of make you forget they traded Luca a little bit.
Bishop
They do. It ain't that bad of a trade once you see the roster like this, man.
E
Especially with the bigs they got on the team. You got lively, you got gaffer, you got AD that is a tough front court. And you gonna get Cooper flag.
Bishop
That's Jeff said, bro. Ain't switching. Ain't none of that, bro. Getting punished.
Jeff
Yeah, that's a fact, bro.
E
Most definitely. All right. Minute draft is tonight, man. We're gonna go through some projected picks. Obviously, we know it's not gonna go in this order, so things are always gonna shake up. Let's just run through the mock draft at 1. Obviously, capture the flag. Cooper Flag should be in Dallas at 2. Dylan Harper probably going to the Spurs. The Sixes are high. VJ Edgecomb, Very, very high of him. They spoke very high of him. A lot of people are questioning that pick. No disrespect, but you're not feeling that one.
Jeff
I think he's.
Bishop
Yeah, I think the fourth pick is even worse. I hate him in Charlotte, bro.
Jeff
Yeah, that's just not. That's Gordon. That's Gordon Hayward on that team, bro.
Bishop
I don't like that.
E
Yeah, I'm sure the Jazz will hope that he could slip to them for sure.
T
The Sixers need to take the big from Duke. That Mallow, whatever his name.
E
I've seen the Sixers have some reports over there. They might trade that pick back and attach it to Paul George.
Jeff
Maybe be. They need to trade that back in.
T
He need to get him. They need to get him, cuz.
E
Do the Sixers need another wing?
Jeff
Like, realistically, they need a backup big bro.
T
Yeah.
Jeff
Cuz obviously Joel and B don't play right.
T
He can come plug right in and play with the young guys.
E
Yeah. If I'm bj, I wouldn't want that situation. It's already A lot going on and they got a ton, ton of wings out there.
Bishop
Where should he go to?
E
That's a good question, boy.
Jeff
He need to go to like anywhere.
E
You can go play, brother.
Jeff
Pelicans, Wizards. Ooh. Any of them.
E
Some of them options is wicked for sure.
T
Go to the Jazz.
Jeff
All these teams that we talking about is wicked. Cause they suck. They all suck. So he need to go somewhere he can go be an athlete. Jazz be a good fit. I don't like the Sixers. Cause I really feel like they young Wing Edwards is just as good as these dudes.
T
Hornets gonna mess around and take Ace.
E
I can see that, that messing it up.
Bishop
I. I don't hate that either.
E
Melo B Mill and Ace. That's gonna be my 2K squad. Let's go.
Jeff
Hey, I scared the clubs. The clubs are scared, boy. Brandon Miller. L nightclub is loading up to Drake. Miles Bridges. You know he gonna be right there. We're gonna be acting like his son. My bigger boy.
T
He can fit right over there.
Jeff
What do you mean? No, he don't. Miles Bridges. Brandon Miller.
T
Who else?
Bishop
Brandon Miller.
Jeff
Yeah.
Bishop
Bridges. We can make a move.
E
That one through five is wicked for sure, man.
Jeff
We don't fit, bro.
Bishop
We can make a move.
E
Let's go back to the mock draft. Jeremy, Jeremiah. Excuse me. Possibly going to the Jazz.
Jeff
I hate it.
E
Years.
Jeff
I don't see that, bro.
E
Yeah, they don't need him looking at that.
Jeff
Nah, this is just somebody making it up.
E
The Wizards, Ace bailey possibly at 6. The Pelicans, big man from Duke. We talk about Kamaran Malach, the Nets. Trey Johnson.
T
He needs to go higher though.
E
But they got enough two guards there too. They gotta make some moves before they get Trey Johnson. That boy ain't gonna be able to shoot the ball. They got cam boy. Yeah, both the cams. Honestly, the Raptors. This gentleman from Noah Esung. I'm not too familiar with him, but I think he's a gentleman that they were talking about. His team was in the finals in the Euro League. They were up to one. And I believe he is skipping one of the finals games to come. Who I mean to go to. Walk across the stage. I believe that's the gentleman. Yeah, he'd be catching a lot of flack for that.
Jeff
Yeah, out of pocket.
Bishop
I'm gonna get drafted.
E
Yeah, it's worth it, but it's a chip, man. It's like I want my first round pick leaving the championship to go to the draft.
Bishop
I'm going to get drafted, bro.
E
Yeah, I gotta be broken, bro. Oh, man, I ain't mad at it all, man. Leave your dream king. The Suns. Carter Bryant from Arizona is looking like what? They might take the Blazers. The kid we talk about from Illinois, Y. Excuse me, his name is crazy. I'm trying not to mess it up, but shout out to him. He had a solid year in Illinois for sure. The Bulls. Colin Murray Woo from South Carolina. He's solid, though. I don't know what the Bulls need. They need everything at this point. Shout out to them. Your Hawks. Igor did them. Byu. We talking about him.
Jeff
They ain't going to make our roster.
E
No, that ain't gonna make this.
Jeff
That's not who we gonna pick. I already got the inside scoop. Who we gunning after?
E
Okay, respect.
Jeff
I'm gonna keep it quiet, though.
E
And the last sort of Lisa spurs are supposed to take Joan Berger from Slovenia.
Jeff
I can see that.
E
They keep international players. Don't mess around and be cold for no reason.
T
He better be able to hold no girlfriends.
E
But yeah, man. The drafts tonight will be very, very interesting. I believe there will be some more moves being made, so we'll see what takes place. But shout out to those young men, man, who will get selected tonight, Man, Dreams come true for sure. Of course. I said. What's that, cj? There you go. Excuse me.

Okay. Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebel and wanted the old scent back. And degree listen. And that doesn't happen often. Often they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one man's antiperspirant. And it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about.
