Wet ball.

[DJ Wells]

Yep. One of the best defenses in The NBA right now. Quad didn't give a damn. Three people right there. It don't matter. Losses.

[Mook]

They've given up 110 points.

Kawhi Leonard, 55 points yesterday, man. 26 in the first half, 26 in the third. You seen enough, T?

[Mook]

I seen enough. Like I remember we talked a minute ago. You remember when they didn't make any trades and they said that we were going to be a good team and that when Derrick Jones Jr. Get back that we would make the playoff push?

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

And we all thought they were crazy. I still don't like Lawrence Frank like that. But maybe he wasn't crazy. Like four game win streaks.

[DJ Wells]

Maybe he was on to something.

[Teague]

Like maybe he knew, but I don't know. I gotta see more than four games though, bro.

[DJ Wells]

They got lots of deals.

[Teague]

They off to a good start.

[Mook]

The west so bad that they back in the playoff race. Look at, look at they. Two and a half games out of the playoff race.

[DJ Wells]

La. Two games from taking care of Portland, man.

[Teague]

They. They 13th, y'. All. They are not in no playoff race. Let's stop there.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, we've been talking about the Portland Trail bas.

[Teague]

That's why I hate to play. And.

[DJ Wells]

And at 13:19, be here in 10th place.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, bro.

[Teague]

The playoff is one through eight. No, bro, that is the real race.

[Mook]

Hey, if they. If they win three more games in a row like they about to be.

[Teague]

Hey, everybody else is gonna have to suck, bro.

[Mook]

They do.

[Teague]

I think they can catch Memphis, though. Sad part is I think they can catch me.

[Mook]

I think they can catch the warriors and Phoenix.

[DJ Wells]

Actually, I don't know about Phoenix. I feel like Phoenix is figuring it out.

[Mook]

Yeah, I mean, they playing well.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but it ain't so crazy.

[Mook]

But it ain't. I mean, they got all the pieces to be a really good team, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Hit nine threes.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Teague]

That's a fact. They do. I. I believed in them. But I don't know, bro. Niggas got to stay healthy, bro. Or Kawhi gonna have to play. I'm just.

[Mook]

Yeah. If Kawhi gonna play the rest of the season. They got a chance every game. Yeah, he might sit out tomorrow. So.

[DJ Wells]

Bad game a couple nights ago and bounced back strong. Is this a quad we can expect going forward or is it what? Quiet flight hooping.

[Teague]

I swear to God, I don't know what's up. I'm so lost, bro. Like, ain't too many is coming off of injuries. Getting 45 and 55.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Teague]

On some real. Usually these gotta ease back into it.

[DJ Wells]

He was killed yesterday. He scored half the team points. Yeah, he's one of these best defenses.

[Mook]

I literally don't know like Kawhi Leonard good at basketball. I just don't know what Kawhi like, how much is he averaging right now? Yeah, I mean he killing.

[DJ Wells]

We just don't he averaging 28, 64 offense. Shoot, Kwa Lender is cold, bro.

[Mook]

He's super cold. I just don't know if he gonna play.

[Teague]

He never questioned his talent.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, and it's funny cause Bill Simmons put our report last week, they had him top 20 in the league. And people were just like, that's out of pocket for putting them that high. I'm like, yeah, I got quad messed up. When quad want to hoop, quad is cold.

[Mook]

Ah, for sure. Like 28 a game. He cold on 50% shooting.

[Teague]

But y' all always talk about availability, bro. He's never available.

[Mook]

That's a fact.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, his situation a little different though, bro.

[Teague]

So he shouldn't be top 20.

[DJ Wells]

He's first team all. DPU how many games he played this year?

[Mook]

I mean, goddamn, he missed 10. But it's enough though. It's more than we used to get.

[DJ Wells]

After the tree, isn't it? Pablo Torre, that's his thing. He messed it up.

[Teague]

I don't know what they got going on la. Hopefully it worked for him though. Whatever. Save him to the playoffs, you know what I mean? They got a chance.

[Mook]

I hope they make the playoff. I need him to be like the seven seed though.

[DJ Wells]

There we go.

[Mook]

Tree company tapped in, but they a scary team.

[Teague]

If they find they win to the playoffs, bro, it can get spooky.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, listen, James Harden had 28 and seven yesterday. He hooped out as well. I mean, you getting that type of production for your two stars. Like they said, they got a quality.

[Teague]

Five that's starting five iry.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Now they talk about the age of that team, but yeah, that don't matter.

[Teague]

If they can make it.

[Mook]

The bench play well.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, the bench play.

[Mook]

Saw yesterday the bench played great.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they played Great yesterday. They gave a lot of afro defense yesterday. Because we know who damn sure scored the ball yesterday.

[Teague]

Washington.

[Mook]

He tied today. He went to Kentucky.

[DJ Wells]

Yep. Oh, for real. Yeah. He's a new sign. He said team, but bring some good energy.

[Mook]

The fact that they had a combined of five points from the bench is crazy. Yeah. This team's not gonna make it far just like that. Yeah, just with that one right there.

[Teague]

Five is strong though. They got a strong six, bro.

[DJ Wells]

They. They shout out to Nick Batoon, bro. Is not supposed to be playing 31 minutes, bro.

[Teague]

I'm okay with that.

[Mook]

On. On God, bro. They had five points on JTR.

[DJ Wells]

Played 40 minutes last night.

[Teague]

But hold on. That roster look crazy. They missing a couple people.

[Mook]

Yeah, they missing Zubak. Yeah.

[Teague]

And John. They got a strong eight, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Z out for a little second.

[Mook]

Yeah. Z he out for a minute though.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Teague]

Them are some big pieces though.

[DJ Wells]

I agree.

[Teague]

Him and John Colin. Them is valuable. Valuable players over that.

[DJ Wells]

Stronger for quarterback essentially as well.

[Teague]

We got. We got strong.

[Mook]

They not. I take it back realizing that big zoo and them is out.

[Teague]

They gonna have to go on some crazy winning streaks, y'. All. And Kawhis will have to play.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Now, Kawhi went crazy yesterday, but the Pistons almost got back into this game. K did not score at all in the first half, ended up with 27, 9. Jalen Doer had 18 and 14. Go ahead and roll some of these highlights of this game, Lou. It was a hell of a game yesterday, but Kawhi Leonard was unstoppable, bro.

[Mook]

You know what it is about Detroit? They on that road trip, man. Yeah, they've been on the road for.

[Teague]

11 Game Boy since the game we.

[DJ Wells]

Went to against the Hornets. They've been on road since and they will be until next week. Hey, man, give some effort on defense. So I got ducked on. Hey, Hey. Oh, man, you're all.

[Teague]

Damn, that look crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, man. Euro yesterday challenging me hard, man. So can we say Clippers play and be hit? I know you would say a lottery, but nah, bro.

[Teague]

Mr. John Collins and Zubay. I don't see this happening too much longer. And I don't know if he gonna play.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Mook]

I recant my statement.

[Teague]

I was looking at that. I'm like, hold on now, bro. It's some like.

[DJ Wells]

You seen both the Kobe's on there. They're not Brian.

[Teague]

No, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Shout out to the Clippers, man. I got something to be happy about, man. Oh, it's been dark for sure. All right, man. Speaking of the best team in LA, the Lakers took care of the Kings yesterday. Belt 125 to 101. Luka had 34, 7, Brian had 24 and 5, DeMarosa had 22 and Russ had 13 as well. Now let's start with the Lakers. Austin Reeves out for basically about a couple weeks. Yeah. They're going to say really a month. Being generous. Honestly, this Lakers team is going to be a real like trial and error moment for them because you're going to basically go into all star break getting him back.

[Mook]

I think it's kind of a blessing in disguise for them. Even though I know Austin reason playing well this year. But now you got to. Bron has to turn it up. Bron has to score the ball. Bron has to be kind of locked in. I'm not saying Bron wasn't, but now he has to like show that I can still play at a super high level because I don't have my third option to depend on to get 25.

[Teague]

True.

[Mook]

Now I gotta go get 25. And we might be see the best version of Braun, but this also could be a kryptonite. Cause at 41 or however old he is, if you happen to have that much demand on the court, I guess.

[DJ Wells]

We gonna see most definitely be here, Arkansas looking like he gonna get a max deal. Now the rest of this Lakers team that be getting highlighted some. It's like a defense. I know Luca got a mixtape right now against that Houston game or he ain't playing no defense. Can he. Does he have to kick it up too Ar out. I mean we know he gonna score, but is it the effort with the Lakers need going forward?

[Teague]

Yeah, bro, but you asking him something to. You ask him to do something he never does. He's not gonna play no defense. We're just gonna figure out let's just try to score more than the other team. That's it.

[DJ Wells]

Bro.

[Mook]

That's always been a recipe for Lucas.

[Teague]

Asking him to, you know, be a defender or be a two way player, bro. Get Jackson Hayes to do it. Get somebody else to do it. Get car. That's. That's not my calling. Like it's Marcus Mar. Yeah, like Marcus Smart is who has to step it up. Jeff's friend.

[DJ Wells]

He been playing better too.

[Mook]

He's been playing well.

[DJ Wells]

He been playing better too.

[Mook]

No. Jerry Vanderbilt.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Teague]

I ain't putting this on Luca. Where them other.

[Mook]

But think about Luca though is like. And I seen that highlight against the Rockets. Obviously his responsibility was guarding a man Thompson and he like we gonna Let him shoot. But he was so far back. Like, bro can make a free throw. Cause, like, he was gardening so far back. I'm like, bro can make it. Like, at least look at him. He wasn't even looking at him. So that was the highlight for us. I understood the defensive Simon that he had. But, like, it gotta look a little better. Like, it gotta look a little better. I understand. You gotta look.

[Teague]

You just tell him to sell it at least. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Like, two pee in the paint, looking at the rim, the bottom, bro, he was under the bus.

[Mook]

Yeah, he was under the basket. Me and Thomas shooting a free throw, and he like. I'm like. And make a free throw, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Hit a flutter, bro. He's six, seven.

[Mook]

Yeah. Like, bro, he can make a free throw.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. The Luca defense clips. I mean, we had the James Harden conversation a while back. It is crazy, for sure.

[Teague]

Yeah, man, I just hope. I just hope the Lakers make the playoffs, bro.

[DJ Wells]

They're gonna make the playoffs.

[Teague]

That's it. As long as they in there, give us some excitement.

[Mook]

I don't. Weakest defenders in the league. It's a list. Shout out to the metrics for the weakest defenders. Damn.

[DJ Wells]

Jack Levine. Disrespectful. Cam Thomas, Jordan Pool. Deontay George.

[Mook]

All people to get buckets.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's. Hey, I don't like this list. This is all real buckets on that list. I don't like it at all, man. Go ahead, show BR highlights, Lou. Old man. Br. Yeah, that's. Hey, we not gonna ever. Disrespectful scores on here. The EBA trying to phase them out, but we will not.

[Teague]

I knew they was gonna have joy pool up there, though.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to my boy, J.P. he will be on later in the show.

[Mook]

Lord.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. Old man ain't supposed to be doing like that.

[Mook]

Oh, good day, smarty.

[DJ Wells]

No, look.

[Teague]

Vibes is high. Good pass, Marcus.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. Smart. Been playing well, old man. Brian still got it, man. The Kings. I don't know what they got going on. Neither do they. Shout out to Russo, man. All time. Let's keep climbing, man with the assist got past Magic, I believe this weekend. Josh Russell. Westbrook, man. Legend, for sure. Give us something to the Kings, man. We don't know what y' all got going on.

[Mook]

Yeah, I don't. I don't mind. I ain't gonna even talk about the Kings. I don't know. They just got so much turmoil. Like, I. I hate it for Doug Christie because it's his first gig, but to get that gig he got dealt a bad hand.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Like, that's a bad gig.

[Teague]

Catching majority of the people on the end of their run is crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, But I'm saying he should have.

[Teague]

Started with some young guys.

[Mook]

They don't have no young guys to even start with.

[Teague]

That's what makes you crazy to be in Charlotte or something.

[Mook]

Like, I look back, like, when. What's my boy? The crazy. He was. He was a good player, but he was, like, crazy to get texts all the time.

[Teague]

No.

[Mook]

Earl Watson.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, yeah.

[Mook]

When he started with Phoenix, he had a bad hand, but he had Devin Booker. He had one person he could point at and be like, we gonna build around that. That's the best player. Whatever. We just gonna make sure he good. Kings don't got that. They got a bunch of older dudes that's like, they still quality players, but, like, it's no one young guy you could point to and be like, yeah, I'm about to just put the ball in his hand, see if he can be a star. He don't got that. And that's not fair because they traded all of it away, literally.

[DJ Wells]

And the crazy part about it is you got people, you could probably get something back. But it's so much turmoil between the front office and some of the players. It's just like, ain't nobody doing nobody no favors right now. So he shouldn't be. He shouldn't have to deal with this next year. He should get at least a chance to deal with something. But they got to get them veterans off there. Like, you look at that roster, bro. Russ shouldn't be there. I mean, I know he didn't have a home, so I'm happy to Russ get to play basketball the way he wants to, but DeRozan need to be gone. Jack Levine need to be gone.

[Mook]

Dennis Schroeder.

[DJ Wells]

Dennis Shooter should be gone. Sabona should be gone. Like, what are we doing?

[Mook]

Doug McDermott.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to my dog. Plug McDermott, man. Yeah, they. Malik, Monk, free him.

[Mook]

Yeah, man, they just got so many Hoopers over there.

[Teague]

That just shouldn't be people that people need, though.

[DJ Wells]

It's teams that can use some of these players.

[Teague]

Jesus Christ.

[DJ Wells]

Never hoard them.

[Mook]

Malik.

[DJ Wells]

Immediately, bro.

[Mook]

He can help the Warriors.

[DJ Wells]

What?

[Mook]

You can help. He help a lot of teams, bro. Yeah, he.

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[Mook]

And Dennis can help Houston right now.

[DJ Wells]

Right now.

[Mook]

Shit. Dennis can help Detroit right now.

[Teague]

Sabonus Sabonis can go over there to Detroit.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Sabona go somewhere.

[Mook]

And really, Sabonus can go to the warriors right now.

[DJ Wells]

I'M something.

[Mook]

That dribble handoff of him and Stephanie.

[DJ Wells]

And you know he gonna rebound.

[Teague]

Turns up.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. Get well soon to the Kings, man. Y' all got a lot going on for sure. All right, moving on. Shout out to the Raptors, man. With a comeback victory yesterday over the Warriors, 141 to 127.

[Mook]

One of my favorite teams, man.

[DJ Wells]

You caught it early. You was high on this team before the season started.

[Mook]

Respect.

[Teague]

Everyone's cold, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, man. Shout out to bi. Man, he had.

[Mook]

I hope he make the all star team this year.

[DJ Wells]

May quickly had 27. Seven. Scotty Barnes had 23, 25, and 10. Yesterday. Steph had 39. Jimmy had 19. Draymond had 21, 74. Be here. He hit four threes as well. Go ahead. L. The highest of this step.

[Teague]

I see how Scotty Barnes violated my boy.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, yeah. You gonna see the highlights. Steph is doing some crazy in this game, bro.

[Teague]

That is a call, but that's a foul, bro. You gotta stand down, man. Be disciplined. I hate that call, bro.

[DJ Wells]

And this is just so disrespectful, bro.

[Mook]

They was in the six, too.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Drake. Scotty Barnes. Disrespectful.

[Mook]

Dr. Talking bad to him.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, can we play that Drake? That's where you be.

[Teague]

I know. Like, man, this sad, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He said you this that Luca D. Yeah.

[Mook]

Did he? I thought he flipped him off.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, he did. Oh, my say, did he flip him off? You know what's crazy? He for recession.

[Teague]

The.

[DJ Wells]

This is hilarious.

[Teague]

Nobody supposed to be that open in the NBA, bro. Not in the NBA.

[Mook]

On the sideline, bro. Who is that? I think that might be BP it is he wrong.

[Teague]

That is crazy.

[DJ Wells]

I love Dray.

[Mook]

Wow.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, man, listen. I know, listen. I know Kawhi got 55 and had to get them making money moves, but a close run up my boy Scotty Barnes.

[Mook]

Go ahead.

[DJ Wells]

Loaded up Lou. 23, 25, and 10. He had 25 rebounds yesterday.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

That's crazy.

[Mook]

Crazy, bro.

[DJ Wells]

You got to be a psycho to want to get 25 rebounds, bro.

[Mook]

I love how he pick and roll, though. He kind of a match, like a matchup nightmare. Because he's so tall. Yeah.

[Teague]

Movie.

[Mook]

The awareness, the recognition attempts and makes quickly.

[Teague]

Too little.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro.

[Mook]

That's what I mean by like a matchup nightmare. Like, you get a shooting guard on him.

[Colin Coward]

Walter lays it up and in.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. Scotty Barnes dominated yesterday even though he had other higher scores on his team. But you've been really high on this Raptors team. And they looking good so far, man.

[Mook]

It's just the versatility they got on that team. Like you just said, Scotty Barnes getting 20 plus rebounds and they all interchangeable. Like when you got RJ Barrett and all those dudes out there, they all around 6, 8, 6, 7. So they can switch 1 through 4. They all can handle the ball. They all can bring it up. Scottie Barnes is like a point forward. Emmanuel Quickley is the smallest guy on that floor, but he's a natural born scorer. So he is easy for him to slide to the two and be ready to catch and shoot and just score. And Scottie Barnes can bring it up and facilitate. Kind of like that Draymond with a little more wiggle, you know what I mean? Like a little more handle pulls like he got a little more shit with him. And he can post up and do a little bit of a score than Draymond. I'm not gonna say he a better shooter. I think they probably shoot similar. Even though Scotty Barnes shooting a little better.

[Teague]

[Mook]

It's 5:20 in the morning out the gate. I mean he's shooting better but he wasn't known as a three point shooter. But he's definitely shooting better.

[DJ Wells]

Are we here now in the three point contest? See, I taking Scotty Bors and Dr.

[Teague]

I love Draym. That's my guy, man.

[DJ Wells]

I'm rolling Dre.

[Teague]

I'm going to the club with Dre. But I'm trying to shoot. I'm going to take Scott.

[DJ Wells]

He just hit four threes that game though.

[Mook]

From the three.

[Teague]

I don't care bro.

[Mook]

I'm gonna tell you Scotty.

[Teague]

It'S not even close, bro. Probably. Probably his jersey number, bro. Probably 23 bro.

[Mook]

But before his career he had 30. He had 33 point shooter. So like it ain't that.

[DJ Wells]

It's nasty either way.

[Mook]

Yeah, it ain't like that. Outlandish. But obviously yeah, I mean it ain't that. So he actually a better career three point shooter than Scotty Barnes. But I think Scotty Barnes a better scorer. But they got similar roles on that team.

[Teague]

Facts.

[Mook]

And I think it blends. Work perfect, huh? Yeah. So I don't know. Shout out to Scotty Barnes though man.

[DJ Wells]

Good player like you said. This Raptor team is top four and def. Defensive ratings. They are playing good basketball now. I've seen them in rumors. Anthony Davis, we talk about one of the bigs that might be linked to.

[Mook]

Them if they get Anthony Davis. Now we talking about trying to win the Easter conference.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Mook]

Cause if we can get a healthy Anthony Davis just to be a rim protector and another score.

[Teague]

Who you getting rid of though, bro?

[Mook]

Anybody.

[DJ Wells]

I was Gonna say I don't know what the price may be for Anthony Davis. I've seen him link to a couple teams we'll talk about later in the show as well.

[Mook]

It's probably not that high.

[DJ Wells]

It's probably not as crazy because, you know, you either got to pay him next year.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Teague]

And Dallas, keep BI and Scotty.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, yeah. You can do that.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. You probably can keep RJ too.

[Mook]

Yeah. You probably got to get away with a podo, bro.

[DJ Wells]

That I'm nothing on that proposal. They don't have to give that much.

[Mook]

I'm not. Or no.

[DJ Wells]

I love A.D. i'm not giving up two first rounders. No, no, no, no. You get one.

[Mook]

The only reason I would say this is like.

[DJ Wells]

And if I give you two, RJ stays.

[Mook]

The only thing, a reason I'm. They gonna have to give up rj. Yeah. But I don't want to give up RJ because he's playing great in Toronto. I think he's comfortable at home and, you know, he's been like killer and I like that. The only thing if you giving up all that, man, AD Gotta be healthy, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Cause we be having a good year.

[DJ Wells]

And you gotta mess with AD Cause you're gonna have to pay him.

[Mook]

But it's Toronto. Not too many people want to go to Toronto. And there's no disrespect because I. I wanted to play in Toronto, one of my favorite cities of man. Y' all know I speak highly of Toronto facts. But not too many people want to be there and resign. Like, Kawhi Leonard won a championship there and still left.

[Teague]

Exactly, bro.

[Mook]

So if you get a player who's willing to stay like BI you gotta do right by it.

[DJ Wells]

Now, I see this mock up here. I like Mavericks received Jacob Porto, RJ Barrett, Jarris Walker, a 26 first round pick from Toronto and a 27 pick from Indiana. Toronto will receive Anthony Davis and Tony Bradley, and the Patriots will get Daniel Gafford. That's a win for all teams involved. Realistically.

[Mook]

It really is.

[DJ Wells]

Because you get to Toronto gets to keep one of them picks. We give up our pick, which, I mean, we won't care about. Yeah.

[Mook]

Mavs get young.

[DJ Wells]

We get a starting center. I'm not mad at that. Cause you gotta pay Anthony Davis and Jake Apoto and rj.

[Mook]

You gotta get them off the books. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't mad at. Also, I've seen Damonte Sabonis potentially. You know what I'm saying? Toronto as well. Look, Toronto a big away from Competing in the East. For real.

[Mook]

For real. That's a fact. They are. I'm not mad at the NTHW strike. I just pray that when he get there, he don't jam a finger, stub a toe.

[Teague]

For real.

[Mook]

That's my team, and we play.

[Teague]

If you give up RJ Barrett, you gonna need him to be healthy, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I'm gonna need. But we know that healthy Anthony Davis is very, very capable. Last couple weeks, he'd be killing. Last game we seen him, he had.

[Mook]

35% healthy Anthony Davis, bro. That team is different.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I'm rolling. Should we be concerned about the words? We get big games from all their stars and still ended up in losses. They blew this fourth quarter league.

[Teague]

Not the same defensive team that they used to be, bro. That told y' all that shit's over with.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, squat.

[Mook]

I mean, even Steve Kerr said, we're like, we're a dying dynasty.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Teague]

They used to lock up bro wars, lock boys up. Now he's gone, granted.

[DJ Wells]

And we'll move on from this. It is Steve Curry. But when your head coach is saying that, is it time to move on? Like, is it time for a shift?

[Mook]

It's been time for a shift. Like, after that championship run and the whole, like, Jordan Poole was like their next. All right, we gonna move. Obviously, Steph is gonna be here, but Jordan Poole is gonna be our next, like, 25 point scorer. Yeah, he's gonna be replace Clay. Steph is still Steph. He gonna replace Klay. We gonna be doing this all over again, and we probably gonna get a couple young. Somebody else gonna wanna pull up, you know what I mean? Once Jordan Poole left and all that shit happened, it was over with.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, it was like the Jimmy Train was nice and thought, but it's like you put the Band Aid over a gas.

[Mook]

Realistically, it was over with. Yeah, well.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, well, soon to worse, man. Shout out to the Raptors, man. Promising future for sure. All right, let's get in the super chat this morning. I forgot to say, Jokic's most skilled of all time. Shout out pike water boy. You a legend. That raspberry. I'm not reading that you. But right on. John Wall and Bill DG and Donovan Mitchell and Damon cj Ranked one through. That is crazy.

[Mook]

Over Touch your tough and spell run.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that is nasty.

[Mook]

Like, who, Who. Who are these dudes, bro?

[DJ Wells]

Some freaks. What was that question again? Right. One through three of those. John Wall, Bill dg, Dalvin, Mitchell, Damon, cj Dame, cj.

[Mook]

One from arguing is nuts.

[DJ Wells]

That Is nasty. Nasty.

[Mook]

I be seeing him on.

[Teague]

To the crackheads and the gas stations and they.

[Mook]

Doing people at Walmart and people be doing it.

[DJ Wells]

Y' all get somebody mama up doing that out of pocket. Good question, though. Star got these 2000 power forwards. Jermaine O', Neal, Rashid Wise, Chris Weber. Okay, here we go.

[Teague]

I'm taking it in the order. Reverse it, though, for me.

[Mook]

You got C. Web first, Rasheed, while the second, Jermaine o' Neill third.

[Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Mm.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna say I'm starting she. Jermaine off the bench, cutting Chris Webber. No disrespect. Cause those are all firepowers.

[Mook]

I'm gonna start Jo Pacer. J O right. I'm starting pacer Jermaine o' Neal prime Jermaine o'. Neal. Take it. I'm gonna cut Sheed even though I like Sheed. Damn.

[DJ Wells]

C. Webb with the Kings elite, bro. Top tier passer scorer. Could do everything you need him to do.

[Mook]

He was nasty, bro.

[Teague]

He's better than all of them, bro.

[Mook]

He was nasty.

[DJ Wells]

Mad at that.

[Teague]

Chris wer was burying Jermaine o', Neal, bro.

[Mook]

I don't know that pace of J.

[DJ Wells]

That pace of J3. Jermaine O' Neal was a cold.

[Mook]

Jermaine O' Neal defensive presence cold, bro.

[Teague]

But he didn't have no offensive package. Like where, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He did average 20.

[Teague]

He couldn't pack.

[Mook]

His free throw foot. He would kill him, bro.

[Teague]

Pass like wh.

[Mook]

Like. He couldn't pass like him. But he was killed. I think he was in MVP votes.

[Teague]

He was. He was up there. Jermaine o' Neal was cold in the.

[Mook]

That's a fact.

[DJ Wells]

Patriots legend.

[Teague]

Super, super defensive anchor for that team.

[Mook]

He was the everything for that team.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro. That was j. Oh, the vibes that I want for my team be hearing. I need Rashid Wallace on the court.

[Mook]

I would say 30.

[DJ Wells]

He was dogging.

[Teague]

I don't think I remember. Look, I respected Jermaine. I just think C. Wed was just a freak of nature, bro.

[DJ Wells]

You're not lying. You're not wrong about that, bro. And the crazy part about this, all these powerful you're talking about are all hall of Fame worthy players. Elite players. For sure, bro. See, Web had the dot eyes, bro.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Wells]

His career stats is crazy. And that's including those years in Detroit.

[Mook]

I think he was killing, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

See what happened to Jermaine. I know he kept playing. He went to my end. Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

But his last couple years, boy, spooky.

[Mook]

God damn it.

[DJ Wells]

Went from 20 to 11.

[Mook]

Then they got number 84, cuz.

[DJ Wells]

No, no, no, no, no. Where was he 84 at? Oh, no.

[Mook]

Crazy.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't going to lie. They should have it to where like when you become like a real, real, real journeyman, they should just stop your stats, bro. Cuz on me, that's not fair.

[Mook]

I went, I went from 14 to 12 so quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Wells]

See like that's not fair to see cuz the she prime bros cheese stats was crazy, bro.

[Mook]

I don't think she ever scored like them two though.

[Teague]

No, no. Yeah, he was just like that one.

[Mook]

Season he scored 20.

[Teague]

He was a real stretch forward though. Yeah, like a legit stretch four.

[Mook]

Oh, he would be cold in this game.

[DJ Wells]

Cold, bro. Yes. But I just want Rasheed on my team.

[Mook]

I think he, he trans like he would translate better than the other two to in this game.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, like picking pop big.

[Mook]

He can shoot the three. Yeah, yeah.

[Teague]

Ain't no more. It ain't no more Jermaine. But Chris Weber be fired now.

[Mook]

I mean, yeah, he would have been.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Mark Smith.

[Teague]

Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

[DJ Wells]

And the content we would get from she today would be so crazy because he would definitely still lead the league of text. Like for sure.

[Mook]

Chris Weber, he could shoot a 15 footer but that wasn't really. That ain't the shot people want now unless you like lead at it. He was an elite shooter, but his athleticism and stuff would have translated early in his career. Yeah, but she whole career would have translated like no matter what, what time.

[Teague]

They'Re a URL player early.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, legend went straight to Detroit.

[Mook]

Oh, that's the year we had 20.

[DJ Wells]

Good question though.

[Teague]

Championship for sure.

[DJ Wells]

MOOC must have got that Michael Jackson treatment. Shout out to book man.

[Mook]

Who you got seed or okay, respect.

[DJ Wells]

One of the best. Take the 5:20 last March return. Y' all said if Derrick Queen was your opinion he would go first. We can draft. Shout out to y'. All basketball knowledge for sure. We've been on sometimes, man. Shout out to Jerry Queen, Foster alumni, E.J. bishop, Uncle Mookie and Teague time. It's my 29th birthday and I fruit from the Lou to Teague hometown to see my Rams whoop on these dead birds. Shout out to y' all for always holding it down for sure. Happy birthday, brother.

[Mook]

Yeah, man, enjoy the. Hey, man, stop. Stop by and get you some wings, man. Shout out to Booger McFarland, man. He said. Yeah, he said he got his first per deal, man. He said he went to get some chicken wings from A really nice establishment in Atlanta.

[Teague]

Wow.

[Mook]

He was like, me and Luke got something in common. I said, I like this guy. I like this guy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Flexible Irish man.

[Mook]

That was my first stop in Atlanta.

[Teague]

That's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to the part. Diamonds, baby. What's good, fellas? Question for Jeff. Stefan Castle said on his stream, spurs only practiced eight times during the last season. Is that normal?

[Mook]

Yeah. Nah. Eight. He might have been stretching to an eight, but you don't practice a lot in the NBA.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, especially, I imagine, during the season.

[Mook]

Nah.

[DJ Wells]

Unless you got a real stern old coach like Nate used to make them practice. But other than that, it's crazy.

[Mook]

Me and Lewis talking about this the other day. I like Nate McMillan, shout out to Nate. Cause he make you practice, but it's just five on five facts. Well, I hate everything else about practice. And I'm a coach, so I shouldn't be saying this, but it was the truth. When I was a player, if we went over dummy drills or we went through whatever, it had to be live for me to be intense about it. Like, if somebody can, like, score on me or I can score on somebody. And it was like, yeah, I'm with that. So if we was going over stuff in practice, bro, I would probably tie my shoes. I'll be like, yeah, all right, bro. We about to walk through this play. Cool. We about to do cha cha, stick, hand, all that. All right. Cool, bro. The moment he say live. Oh, okay.

[Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

So I like Nate, and a lot of people ain't like that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, the best. Did not rock with Nate's practice schedule at all.

[Mook]

But, yeah, I didn't like that Nate made you practice a day after the game, though. I ain't with that. He had, like, whatever the science they did behind it was like, yeah, you play a game, you practice, and then you take a day off after that. I ain't like that.

[Teague]

So you just. You at least wanted one day off to recover?

[Mook]

Yeah. Like, back to it. Especially when you was playing high minutes, like, nah, but. Cause when I was with the Hawks with Bud, we ain't never practiced wheels like that. Like, when we went on that streak, we didn't practice for, like, two months. Like, didn't walk in the gym. Like, you only people that went to the gym if you got extra shots on your own.

[Teague]

Damn. For real?

[Mook]

Swear.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Teague]

Wow.

[Mook]

Like, see y' all at the game. Flight takes off at 3. Meet you at the plane.

[Teague]

Wow.

[DJ Wells]

But y' all went on such a historic one of putting Bill. He probably didn't want to Interrupt that like, nah, we cooking right now.

[Mook]

Yeah, I was. Well, I was going.

[Teague]

I was having a hell of a life.

[Mook]

It was no practice.

[Teague]

You don't even have to do.

[Mook]

It was no shoot around.

[Teague]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[DJ Wells]

You just go to the whole month with just wins, though. Wasn't it like January, something crazy like that? It was a whole month with just wins.

[Mook]

You just went to shoot. You ain't have to go to shoot around like you wanted to go to shoot around. You could. It was optional. I used to go to shoot around just so I get up.

[Teague]

The NBA is crazy, man.

[Mook]

It was fired up. That's one of the best time of my life. I remember when we lost, he tried to be mean. We need to lock back in. We just won 19 games in a row.

[Teague]

We need.

[Mook]

We was in Portland, too. Portland. Like, we need to lock in. We're not focused. Like, what here at home?

[DJ Wells]

Kids, if you don't want to go to practice, just win your game.

[Mook]

That's a fact.

[DJ Wells]

All right, Jalen Hurst, let me know against Mahomes, Burrow, Lamar Allen, and staffers in 2023. I expect that apology tomorrow. I told you we beat the Bills, Mook. How you feel about that? I think that's the same thing he said if he was here, he would.

[Mook]

Say, I don't care about Jalen Hurts at all.

[DJ Wells]

Good morning, y' all boys. What y' all think about the 31st pick committed to Baylor? Yeah, let's talk about it, man. I was hoping we were gonna be here for this, but this is absolutely insane. Being a gentleman who was 31st picking the draft, went through a little bit of a G league process, and now he is at Baylor.

[Teague]

Jesus is on the way back, bro. The Lord is on the way back, bro.

[Mook]

You know what I like?

[Teague]

I'm.

[Mook]

I'm glad this is happening, though. Why? It's saving a lot of kids lives, bro.

[Zyn Product Info Announcer]

What?

[Mook]

A lot of people failed with bad decision making. Like, a lot of. You know why I say that? Because a lot of kids don't make these decisions. It'd be like parents, coaches, handlers. Yeah, handlers influence them to make these bad decisions to go to the NBA or go to wherever, the NBL and China and all these places before you even try to go to school.

[Teague]

I agree with that part.

[Mook]

I feel like it's helping them right their wrongs. Granted. I feel like he should be like a junior. Like, he should come back to school as a junior or whatever grade and he might have one year to play college. Basketball one or two years or whatever it is. Like if you 20 years old and you go to college, you should only have two years left. Like, hey man, you gonna play? You a junior, you got two years. Try to get a, you know, graduate, get associates or whatever you need to do. But you got two years now. If you're 25.

[Teague]

When is enough enough? It's something new with this every day.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, Tom Izzo is my favorite people. He has been sick of this. He was like, all right, so he about to retire these people now.

[Mook]

He about to retire.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah, he's done. He said this is last season. He said, I'm sick of this, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, he's out of there and he's hard.

[DJ Wells]

Shame coaches, they're like, shame of yourself. I'm trying to win.

[Teague]

Tom to do his thing though.

[DJ Wells]

You can stay to your morals if you want to.

[Teague]

He's one of the greatest coaches ever. So I'm with him 100, bro. I'm with Calipari too, bro. That lame. I don't care, bro. Saving these kids lives. That bro.

[Mook]

I think your life is already determined at 25. Like I don't think you can go back to college and it's gonna help you.

[Teague]

Oh, anyway, just let pull up. I believe like going to college and getting your degree needs to be 50 and graduate from college. That's beautiful, but I'm talking about playing the sport, bro. You taking money out of kids mouths, bro.

[Mook]

I'm nothing, but I'm not mad. I think you should put a cap on like the age, like after 25. I think you shouldn't be able to play college basketball. Yes. Yeah, bro, like if you 25 or under, even 24, I' ma say 24 because you're supposed to be going at 22.

[DJ Wells]

You are a graduate student with a master's degree.

[Mook]

24 or under. I feel like you should have a chance. So like if a guy made a mistake and tried to do something, like if you went to the NBA and you weren't good and you try to go back to college, that shouldn't happen. Like you shouldn't be able to go play in the NBA and then be like, hey, I was sad, but I'm only 21 with me. Let me go back to school. Yeah, I ain't mad at it, but.

[Teague]

Nah, nah, nah, go back to school and get your degree. But if you come back and play, you better average 30.

[DJ Wells]

See, here's my thing about this.

[Teague]

I'm nothing on you coming back to college and averaging 12.

[Mook]

Oh God.

[DJ Wells]

That is gonna be the telltale. Cause I know we got one.

[Teague]

And that could hurt you though.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, if you come back and you average less than 15 instead of going overseas and run.

[Teague]

But if you go, you leave the Bulls and then go to Creighton and you average 12, then you never even gonna be able to come to a draft workout.

[Mook]

They probably wasn't gonna make it anyway. But it's a lot of guys that know. I wish they know they like wish they probably could have went to school instead. Like even when I went to the league, I remember I got drafted, obviously even getting paid. But I was like, damn, I should have stayed one more. Cause you sitting on the bench. But if I would have known I could get paid in college, I probably would have stayed in college. Now if I could have got the same amount of money that I got my first year in the NBA that I got in college, I would have stayed in college.

[DJ Wells]

And I ain't trying to ruffle no feathers, but one day we'll figure out how much of a fuck up the G League ignite was for them to bend these rules. Because based off what happened with that, there's a lot that we don't know about that.

[Mook]

Yeah, that 30 for 30 gonna be crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, it's gonna be insane. And also it's crazy because the NCAA ain't gonna say nothing until one of these teams with all these old ass people winning tournament or win something crazy.

[Mook]

Oh yeah. I mean Caliper turning to ISO and Caliperi trying to throw it out there. They trying to get the rules. And I, I agree with both of them. I agree with Caliperi more like the transfer portal and all that stuff. That is just whack to me. Like I feel like you should be able to transfer, but just not that many times.

[Teague]

Yeah, bro, to go to a different school every year in college is crazy, bro. You have no discipline, bro. Zero running from the ground, you were turning to a piece of human being, bro. I'm nothing. I don't care what nobody say, bro. Doing that every year unless it's really necessary for you to leave. Nah, bro, I'm squad, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, the accountability factor is crazy.

[Mook]

Oh, he playing next game.

[DJ Wells]

He was grand supplied after the first of the year.

[Mook]

Oh, he about to kill too. So he's been a pro all this time.

It's 5:20 in the morning.

[DJ Wells]

His Baylor debut. He got on the Charlotte Hornets dress and the guy trending flowers. I know that three had a bad reporting by him, but he just hit a three for the Bulls last week and it was like he's el consider considering going back to school. Bro, you just hit a three for the NBA team. You cannot go to college.

[Teague]

Yeah, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah man.

[Teague]

To get drafted, go back to school, to get redrafted.

[Mook]

He's not gonna get drafted. It's a probably a 100 chance. He's not gonna make it to the NBA. Now.

[Teague]

What the hell am I doing getting paid?

[Mook]

I mean maybe this kid, but the other one like you was in the league and you left the league. Yeah, yeah.

[DJ Wells]

They're gonna be like, hey, but what if we kill? I was 31, now I'm top 10.

[Mook]

That's hard. I don't think you can get drafted twice though. I think they still have his rights. Yeah, but the Knicks had his rights though. Nah, the Knicks had his rights. He went back to school, didn't get drafted, then he signed with the Knicks. Yeah, he didn't get drafted.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. This is gonna be very interesting to see how this goes.

[Mook]

He a two way player. Damn.

[Teague]

Yeah, we losing recipes.

[DJ Wells]

DJ losing recipes.

[Mook]

That's fire. I ain't gonna lie. I'm kind of hyped for him.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, he should have went to Louisville, but you know what I'm saying. Shout out to him.

[Mook]

That's fire.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. This is crazy, man.

[Mook]

But if that dude that from that played FC Barcelona, James Nachi, if he kill, his rights are probably gonna be with who we get drafted by.

[DJ Wells]

Charlotte.

[Mook]

His rights are gonna be With Charlotte. So if he kill Charlotte, gonna be like now come on back. They drafted him, they gotta have his rights. Cause he went overseas, right? Yeah, yeah, he drafted. It's like when Mano Ginobili and them was out, they ain't come over. So who drafted him? Oh, so he got wave.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Oh, so don't nobody got his rights. So he ain't better get drafted, he just gonna get signed.

[DJ Wells]

That's okay. And no NBA teams are probably gonna like this because now I don't gotta pay you because if you're a first round talent, I'm paying you less than first round money because oh, this is.

[Mook]

About to be great. Yeah, the NBA are like, thank God, I hope he goes to Baylor. And it's phenomenal. I can't wait to sign him to him.

[DJ Wells]

We should all our two way players back to college.

[Teague]

Hey kids, y' all better start taking up them juco offers. It's about to get wicked for y'.

[Odoo Ad Announcer]

All.

[Mook]

Oh, we had a conversation with some kids at our school today, looking too bad. Look, we had a conversation with some of the guys at our school and we was like, yo, if a school love you and you, you get the feeling that they love you, you might want to start tapping in with them like waiting for the Dukes because obviously Baylor's a top program for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Won a national championship, that's counting George.

[Mook]

They went and got, they got a dude that already got kill us treing flowers. Kentucky hit him up. So they not looking for no high school kid. They went for a. That's on a two way.

[Teague]

Well, y' all better. She getting wicked, boy.

[Mook]

Y' all better start realizing what's going on in this world.

[DJ Wells]

It's not bad being a college graduate.

[Mook]

Some of these schools love you. You might want to pay more attention. Cuz me as a coach, it's just being brutally honest. If I got a dude who play in overseas the NBA already, I know he better than you and I know he know how to act already. Like you've been in a professional environment, you already got paid to play. I don't gotta wake you up to do shit. No, you already grown.

[Teague]

Yes.

[Mook]

A 17, 18 year old kid coming to college and we paying you. You don't know how to act with no money. For real, you ain't never had no money.

[Teague]

For the most part you 100% right, bro.

[Mook]

Some of these dudes already pros, they think they gonna come with Louis bags and cars already.

[Teague]

Yeah, I better stop looking down on.

[DJ Wells]

These smaller colleges and, and this survival for Them.

[Mook]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Wells]

It's survival. It's their last chance.

[Teague]

If I was a coach, I need everybody.

[Mook]

What's his name? Kyrie Walker. Oh, man, I've been famous since I was 10, man. I up 100,000. I messed up. I came back to get your money. Yeah, but I already know.

[Teague]

You know you play overseas, bro.

[Mook]

I already know, you know, K. Junior was jumping 67.

[DJ Wells]

He put. I'm coming back to Louisiana Tech.

[Mook]

You feel me?

[DJ Wells]

And he. They would gladly take him right now. Come back, lead the nation, man. Yeah, it's wicked, man.

[Mook]

Facts, bro. That's why it's gonna be crazy this year when seeing all the people go to the portal. Because if you look at the portal, a lot of people don't be getting picked up in that portal.

[Teague]

It is 9, 000 people in there. That's only 100 colleges.

[DJ Wells]

They show a dude on Tick Tock. He was just like, yeah, they don't say the downside about the portal. And he was like, they showed his Hollis last year. They showed him clocking the ass job.

[Mook]

That's crazy.

[Teague]

Real life, bro. Yeah, he a real one for showing that on God. You got to be real comfortable with life to show some like that that.

[Mook]

Portal could get wicked. A lot of people don't get picked up in that portal. Trust me. We had some young guys enter that portal.

[Teague]

Yeah, if I'm in a portal, I'm. I'm leaving, like, Kiflin, like, mid season.

[Mook]

Damn. Look at that.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, that's why if. If you code a ball out the first two games, and me and season say, hey, I'm leaving.

[Teague]

That talk like, l, baby.

[Mook]

That's crazy.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man.

[Mook]

How many people don't.

[DJ Wells]

Over 2200 players enter the portal. 40% of all D1 players.

[Teague]

And when we was growing, when we was growing up, bro, you used to have to sit out a whole year if you left that school, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Bro, it's players that left in November that's playing for a new school now. Because it's new year.

[Mook]

Come on, man.

[DJ Wells]

Come on, bro.

[Mook]

I better. Y' all better relax. Young fellas take this for granted.

[Teague]

Parents is mad as hell.

[Mook]

Nah. All these parents need to tap in and really pay attention to what's going on. Matt Barnes be saying it on all the smoke all the time.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Matt.

[Mook]

But, like, even, like the pike kids, I'm telling y', all, man, we don't be saying it just to be talking. Like, a lot of y' all are really good players, and y' all gonna be good but it's grown men for real.

[Teague]

Yeah, that's coming back to our generation is wicked, bro.

[DJ Wells]

And they got way more to lose than y' all got right now.

[Teague]

I'm talking about seeing this money.

[Mook]

Come on, man.

[Teague]

Could you imagine getting paid in school and then somebody not fooling with you at all?

[Mook]

Think about it.

[Teague]

He stood up a shot not to.

[Mook]

Just stay harping on this subject, but like, think about it. You competing as a young guy. You competing against the D2 players that's killing. That's trying to go D1, the high D1 kids that ain't getting no tick transferring to another school. And then the fire D1 kids who trying to get more money. And then you compete against the overseas dudes who's coming over here to get a bag. And now, now the old people who played in the G League. Yeah, that ain't getting no time like you all for scholarship. You know what's gonna mess it up the first time? Duke go get one of them kids. Oh, when Duke go get a.

[DJ Wells]

Duke.

[Teague]

Would have got this 31 year old stud.

[Mook]

Yeah, would Duke get one of them?

[DJ Wells]

Oh, when Duke goes to the final four with a 36 year old.

[Mook]

What?

[Teague]

Let them do whatever let the girls do. Open the floodgates for them.

[Mook]

They can have anybody.

[Teague]

They have anybody.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Teague]

If you coach for the Fever, want to go back to ucla, it grant J word.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, man, I ain't letting nobody get your money. All right, man, we need to keep it real. Drake being one of the main reasons for the worst downfall. Ran off kd, run off pool. Good deep pause. But running off buckets, that's crazy.

[Teague]

That is crazy. Warrior forever, baby.

[DJ Wells]

He is the reason, remember? They what after Katie. Don't you ever forget. Move. Must have got kidnapped for talking. That's what about LeBron. Hey, man, we told y' all leave Clutch alone, bro. Now you have a lot.

If you got to tap in on league pass, you definitely had a good game for you, man. Shaden Sharp has 26. Denny Ivy have been balling as usual. T. He had 24, 10 and 7. And Donovan Clement, big man, balled out 18 to 18. JB had 37, 74, man. He had 24 in the first half. Go ahead and load it up, blue.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro. We always said what first option JB look like, and clearly it's 30 tonight. Bag work. Yeah, man. When you shooting like that? It's all nasty.

[Teague]

He been doing his. He been doing his, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, me he been balling this year. Now, is this assist or not, y'?

[Mook]

All?

[DJ Wells]

Denny Obia drove to the basket here. They said it's not assist. They said it was A up, but I'm showing some love on this.

[Teague]

Let me see.

[DJ Wells]

Is that a sis be here.

[Teague]

Yes, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Right? One more time.

[Teague]

Yes, I'm with that.

[DJ Wells]

Is that assistant? It's supposed to be a step through.

[Mook]

Nah, no assist.

[Teague]

Good pass, bro.

[DJ Wells]

It might have counted for one of his titicists last night. If so, John Stockton swag for sure. But shout out to the. You know what I'm saying?

[Teague]

Shout out to Jalen Brown. I'm gonna show love to Jalen Brown.

[Mook]

Man, you killing first team on NBA. Me and Lou was debating it the other day and we was like, this was anybody else that'd be first team all NBA.

[Teague]

Yeah, bro.

[Mook]

But he game straight with 30 points.

[DJ Wells]

Or something like that.

[Teague]

But the last probably 10, 15 games been a monster run, though.

[DJ Wells]

He been whooping. Got the Celtics at one point to second and shooting 50%. Killing option number one.

[Teague]

Yeah, he need to be first team ball. NBA for sure.

[DJ Wells]

I don't know if he gonna get it though, this year.

[Teague]

Oh, he gotta get it just off the street.

[Mook]

He deserves to be first team. I ain't gonna lie. I mean, I just don't know who. Who will get it over him as a forward slot.

[DJ Wells]

It's kind of tough. Cause if you're looking this year at your guard slots, well, we gonna sj, obviously.

[Mook]

Luca, I think he deserved to be over there over, like, honestly, like Cade and Luca, like, they have nothing over there. Nah, K, my favorite player. They don't got nothing either.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, like you're saying he getting.

[Mook]

But like, the Celtics was supposed to be ass broke.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Lucas.

[Mook]

I think I give it to him.

[DJ Wells]

Luca, they were supposed to be ass now. But see, the problem is when you go to Luca stats. As much as we respect Jaylen Brown and we know he. He got help, but Lucas, that's so dummy. He has to be first team.

[Teague]

He gotta. Jaylen Brown gotta be first team, though, bro.

[Mook]

I'm picking him over.

[Teague]

Forget the. Forget the positions, bro. Yeah, he gotta be a part of the five, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I average 33, 34, 8, 34.99, bro.

[Teague]

Yeah, Jay Brown's not having a better year than him.

[Mook]

I'mma take him over. Bro, they team so bad, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He nothing be here.

[Teague]

I'm nothing, bro.

[Mook]

Bro, you lose your. You arguably your best player, you lose your starting center. Both of them. Al, Horford and Porzingis. You lose your start. And who was the point guard before Drew Holiday left? You lose your point guard.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

And you replace them with people we no disrespect. Derrick White's a good player. Peyton Pritchard was 6, man after that. Tell me who's on the roster. Name him.

[Teague]

But I'm saying. I don't know him.

[Mook]

That's my point.

[DJ Wells]

I still got it.

[Teague]

That's not your point, though. I'm still killing. I don't give a. Who on your roster. I'm better than you. I'm just better than you.

[DJ Wells]

Not really.

[Teague]

Luca is just better than Jalen Brown, bro. However you cut it.

[Mook]

Not really.

[Teague]

Yes, I am, bro. I'm way better offensively than you.

[Mook]

Oh, hell, I average 30.

[Teague]

I get a bucket easier than you.

[DJ Wells]

I don't know.

[Teague]

And I've been killing longer than you.

[Mook]

I don't know.

[Teague]

And I killed when I didn't have nobody. Luke killed when he played. Who with? The Mavericks.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Teague]

Kyrie. No, he ain't always played with Kyrie. Luca been killing since he got to the NBA.

[Mook]

I ain't say he wouldn't. Jalen Brown been killing on that. Jalen Brown been killing a long time.

[Teague]

Not longer than Luca or nothing. Luca. Luca was in the playoffs with a shitty team, bro. When he carried. When he was carrying the mask, bro. Bro. Jalen Brunson won. Jalen Brunson. That Jalen Brown always had. Jason Tatum. I'm nothing.

[Mook]

What you mean Luca? Luca had Kyrie. Jalen Brunson was nasty. The moment Jalen Brunson left. Finally first team, all NBA.

[Teague]

I'm finally agreeing with Jeff on the show. Jalen Brown is a killer.

[DJ Wells]

Okay?

[Teague]

You got it out of me. Family, you got it out of me, but I'm not. I gotta draw the line with the.

[DJ Wells]

Lucas.

[Mook]

I seen Lucas. Who they play in the Finals? Who they play in the Finals?

[DJ Wells]

Oh, okay.

[Mook]

Who they play in the final?

[DJ Wells]

Be here. He pulled the truth. Who they play the finals? Who? Finals mvp, bro. Who?

[Mook]

Finals mvp. L. Sh. I'm just saying.

[Teague]

Supposed to get it. Oh, yeah. About to make me turn on him.

[Mook]

Jt, that's my. That's my guy. And he a killer. He probably could have. It was, you know, toss up a.

[DJ Wells]

Fp, whatever on this roster.

[Mook]

But, like, let's not do that.

[Teague]

Like I'm saying, the man should be.

[Mook]

First team is way worse than the Lakers, bro.

[Teague]

I'm agreeing with you, bro, but I don't know.

[DJ Wells]

All of it.

[Teague]

I don't know. I gotta. I gotta think about it.

[Mook]

Derrick White, no disrespect to Derrick White is your second option.

[Teague]

Derrick White, Peyton Pritchard, Anthony Simons.

[Mook]

Yeah, he ain't Damn. Come on.

[Teague]

I can't see that.

[DJ Wells]

Sam Houser. Hugo.

[Mook]

Hugo is getting tick.

[DJ Wells]

You go.

[Mook]

Luke Garza is our backup center.

[DJ Wells]

No disrespect. Keita, baby.

[Mook]

Keita. That's our center.

[DJ Wells]

He solid numbers, but. All right.

[Mook]

Go to the, like, star center.

[Teague]

I didn't even know this.

[DJ Wells]

My point exactly. Passing the ball. They. He just get off.

[Teague]

That means I'm out of pocket. Because he held a good year.

[Mook]

Yeah, he definitely might be starting in the future. He might. You got DeAndre.

[DJ Wells]

Hold on. All these ho. All these.

[Mook]

He got DeAndre. A.

[Teague]

Come on. Team Bron. Rui.

[Mook]

Austin Reeves, Jared Vanderbilt.

[DJ Wells]

We know all these.

[Teague]

Jared Vanderbilt averaged four points, you know?

[DJ Wells]

You know.

[Teague]

Cause we talk about these every night, you know.

[DJ Wells]

You know, before that don't connect on a.

[Mook]

To the first round pick.

[Teague]

That's my guy.

[DJ Wells]

He would get run up.

[Mook]

Marcus Smart.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, God. Oh, me start for Lakers.

[Mook]

Come on, big time starter. Jordan Wash start right now.

[Teague]

Rui or Derrick White? Lou.

[Mook]

No, it's LeBron or Derrick White.

[DJ Wells]

That's the matchup. LeBron or Derrick White?

[Teague]

I know who Mooga choose.

[Mook]

Hey, is LeBron and Derrick White. Who you got?

[Teague]

Muga and Derrick White for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Who got the final word? This one, y'. All. Fry Manson, Reeves or Peyton Pritchard? For sure. Austin.

[Mook]

Okay, so what we talking about?

[Teague]

I'm not. I agree with you.

[Mook]

I'm just first team off.

[Teague]

Luca. Luca used to be on the bad team with the Mavs, too. When he first got to the league. The first few years, the Mavs teams weren't known like that, bro.

[Mook]

They weren't weak, though.

[Teague]

It was cool. Because of him.

[Mook]

You talking about when they had.

[Teague]

I'm saying, to give Jaylen Brown a team like that, which he has now.

[Mook]

He's had Dirk on his team. What we talking about?

[Teague]

Give him multiple years. Dirk, the whiskey was. God damn it.

[DJ Wells]

That was his last day.

[Mook]

Yeah, that wasn't bad.

[DJ Wells]

But they was good. Because of Luga. Brady Brunson did have his. His coming out party, especially in the postseason. He was cold then, obviously. Soon as he left, he became a.

[Mook]

All right, what year?

[DJ Wells]

Trey Bur Squiddy. What?

[Mook]

They went to like, the.

[Teague]

Come on.

[Mook]

Western Conference finals.

[DJ Wells]

That was second round, didn't they?

[Teague]

I'm just saying, Luca been holding it down. It's different.

[DJ Wells]

Not a killer.

[Teague]

No, I know you're not.

[Mook]

Second round.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Kp.

[Teague]

Come on, bro.

[Mook]

Ain't nobody Porzingis.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Oh, come on, man.

[DJ Wells]

But that was before he got to Stimmy. Yeah, man. Shout out to Luca. He been holding it down.

[Mook]

Spencer Dy Pozingis, Tim Hardway Jr, Jalen.

[Teague]

Brunson that's a I just want to see Jaylen Brown on the team.

[Mook]

Like that seems damn right.

I've been around long enough to know quality when I see it. Or in this case, when I taste it. Tito's handmade vodka. Good stuff. No flash, no gimmicks. Smooth, clean, tasting. Made the right way. I like things that are built to last. A great team, a well run organization. Same goes for my vodka, Tito's. Made in Austin, Texas. Real care, attention to detail, distinct crisp taste. I was just telling my wife the other day, Tito's is the one vodka. It has a completely distinct taste. Been my go to for years, so I like to keep it simple. Tito's soda, one lime, a lot of ice. Refreshing, easy. Summer, winter, spring. Totally versatile. Always works. Listen, baseball season's here. Your team's gonna play 162 games. A perfect time to kick back with some Tito's. It's what I pour. You should too. Distilled and bottled by 5th Generation Inc. Austin, Texas. 40% alcohol by volume. Savor responsibly.

[DJ Wells]

It's 5:20 in the morning.

[Teague]

Remove Luca from this team.

[Mook]

Bro, we.

[DJ Wells]

We're.

[Teague]

We're battling lottery.

[Mook]

What do you mean?

[Teague]

For Cooper Flat.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Jalen Brunson.

[Teague]

You take Jalen Brown away and put insert Jason Tatum. You're getting the same product, you're getting the same production. That's all I'm saying, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, Chad, let us know how y' all feel.

[Mook]

That's not fair you talking about. That's like you take Luca off this team and you insert Kyrie no, no, no, no, no.

[Teague]

I'm saying Jaylen Brown. Give Jaylen Brown some more time to play with a team like this. Luka has had to play by himself.

[Mook]

No, you just said if you take Luka off that team and you insert.

[Teague]

No, no, I was just talking about Jayle. Him playing with the team with. I don't want to call him a bunch of nobodies, but just without another big star next to him. That's all I'm saying. I want to see him do more years like this like I. I do.

[Mook]

I mean, I don't. But this the thing. We just didn't think this would even.

[DJ Wells]

We, man.

[Mook]

Bro, we had the Celtics. You didn't you.

[Teague]

I didn't believe. I'm not even going to start. You had a little faith.

[Mook]

A little.

[DJ Wells]

I had a little faith.

[Teague]

DJ didn't have.

[Mook]

Mook had faith. Mook said he was going for sure.

[Teague]

You and Mook had a little faith. That's what I'm saying. I'm finally agreeing with you that he should be on the team.

[DJ Wells]

We gotta move on. Let us know in the comments who should be first, bro.

[Mook]

With that roster.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, first team.

[Mook]

Come on, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

No disrespect to K, bro. You lost Porzingis and Al.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, it's rough, bro. Shout out to Celtics. Making it happen, man. Shout out to the Wizard. Get it up over the Grizzlies, 116 to 112. Oxar had 20 and 9. CJ at 16. Also had a tough bucket in the 4th. Close it out. Triple J be hand 31 8. Y' all had 21 7. I am tired of seeing the Grizzlies free job. Rant, man.

[Mook]

Yeah, I'm just. Yeah, I used to the Grizzlies to be one of my favorite teams, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. I'm tired of.

[Mook]

Now they're like my least favorite team. I don't even look at their games no more.

[DJ Wells]

Yes. It's not the Bobs.

[Mook]

And John Moran is playing. I used to watch everything, man.

[Teague]

That sucks, man.

[DJ Wells]

All right, now they put an all quarter century team. I want to see how y' all felt about them. Are you on there, third team? All right, let's start with the third team. Steve Nash at PG, James Harden at 2. Kawhi Leonard at the 3. Giannis at the 4. Shaq at the 5.

[Mook]

That's disrespectful.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's kind of crazy. Now going to second team. Chris Paul as a point guard. Dwayne Wade at the 2. Dirk Nowinski at small Forward Kevin Garnett at power forward and Joker at center.

[Mook]

Nah, give me Giannis over KG. If we just going awards like, bro, he won two MVPs in that time.

[DJ Wells]

And a chip.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Like, even though KG got chip obviously too.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

KG got one tough conversation.

[Mook]

Give me James Harden over Chris Paul.

[Teague]

I'm taking Jason Kidd over Steve Nash.

[DJ Wells]

Only thing that I got, you two EVPs. My game feeling different about him.

[Mook]

Yeah. Year 2000.

[Teague]

Okay.

[Mook]

Yeah, definitely. Give me Giannis over KG.

[DJ Wells]

You going James Harden over Chris Paul in the second team.

[Mook]

Yeah, give me. Yes.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Mook]

James Harden got an mvp. Damn near one of the top scorers.

[DJ Wells]

I mad at it.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Teague]

First team is solid.

[DJ Wells]

First team, you got Steph, Kobe, LeBron, KD, Tim Duncan.

[Mook]

No complaints.

[Teague]

Yeah, that's a fire, fire first team.

[Mook]

Well, I think it should be James Harden, Dwayne Wade.

[Teague]

What Shit.

[Mook]

Dirk and Giannis and then Nikola Jokic.

[Teague]

Chris Paul deserved that.

[Mook]

Second team, Chris Paul, third team.

[DJ Wells]

I would give Chris Paul 13.

[Mook]

He got a switch with James Harden. Like Chris. Steve Nash. James, Chris Paul. So Kawhi, I'm cool with that.

[DJ Wells]

But people felt some ways. They said that's crazy that Steve Nash got two EVPs and he's on the third team behind Chris Paul. If you're going based off the metric.

[Teague]

That's why I thought the accolade.

[DJ Wells]

Cause the Shaq is crazy too. I mean, but it's 2000s. Yeah, that's fair.

[Teague]

Well, shit.

[Mook]

I mean, he killed my first.

[Teague]

Shit. I won three.

[DJ Wells]

Then 06.

[Teague]

Yeah, he still played cool then, but.

[Mook]

But he was 2000. But he got drafted with 95. 93. He was nasty.

[DJ Wells]

But I won 2000.

[Teague]

He came from the league.

[DJ Wells]

Filthy.

[Mook]

Filthy.

[Teague]

But this was £400.

[Mook]

Yeah, he was still killing. But like after 04, that got.

[DJ Wells]

But he won an 06 though. And he was average 20 and 10.

[Mook]

But no, Jokic was better than him. 2000 up.

[DJ Wells]

Take me.

[Mook]

Give me Jokish, bro.

[Teague]

Jeff. I don't know, bro.

[Mook]

From 2000 to 2000, what year was Shaq retired?

[Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

09.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, see, that's another person. The rainbow color started on Jersey, man.

[Mook]

He retired in 09, right? Yeah. From 2000 to 2011.

[DJ Wells]

We're not counting Boston Shacks.

[Mook]

I'm just saying.

[Teague]

Phoenix Shaq made the all star team.

[DJ Wells]

I'm saying from 2017. Celtic Shaq. I mean, Cleveland Shaq, bro. I don't want to see that.

[Mook]

Yeah, from 2006.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, it went from 20 to 17 to 17.

[Mook]

I feel I'm cool.

[DJ Wells]

Give me your bro no, bro.

[Teague]

2000-2006 check is.

[Mook]

Because this is what. What's his.

[DJ Wells]

Jokic.

[Mook]

What? 10th year.

[DJ Wells]

So.

[Mook]

All right, we gotta go from 2000 to 2010.

[Teague]

You cheated, bro.

[Colin Coward]

How?

[DJ Wells]

That's what we gotta go from.

[Mook]

2000 for 10 years.

[DJ Wells]

It starts with the some show the situation, man.

[Mook]

2000 to 2000.

[Teague]

Most Celtics check. Celtics check.

[DJ Wells]

Stats cannot count this.

[Mook]

That's what it is.

[DJ Wells]

Joker stats is so crazy, bro.

[Mook]

Are you going to take Sha.

[Teague]

Jeff cheating, bro. We not doing that, bro.

[Mook]

Sha.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, Joker stacks is so ill, bro.

[Mook]

So you got to do shaq best years versus Joker's best years. SHA best year is what, 2000, 2006 right there. So take Jokic last. It was cold.

[Teague]

Shaq was ill, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He averaged 24 as a R, bro.

[Mook]

Oh, I said those years right there, not close.

[DJ Wells]

This is tricking. 2000 home, but 2000.

[Teague]

That's when he won his first shit, bro.

[DJ Wells]

30, 30, 28. 28.

[Teague]

He was elbowing on top of the head, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Have you seen it, like, the last 10 years? He's, like, leading in every, like, statistical category except three.

[Mook]

One year that was top two in steals.

[Teague]

He was.

[DJ Wells]

He's never been a DPOI candidate.

[Teague]

Yeah, okay.

[DJ Wells]

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. If he gonna start hitting, the three boys gonna get wicked, man. Shout out to him. 38 career high.

[Mook]

That's the thing, like, I always say it about the Orlando Magic. Fans been getting on my ass about it, trying to break up their team. No, I'm not. But the reality is a reality. They play better with. One of them boys is gone, bro.

[Teague]

You a said nothing wrong.

[Mook]

Yeah. And you see more guys like Anthony Black, who was a top 10 pick.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

He flourishes a little bit more.

[Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

You would never see this if both of them was out there.

[DJ Wells]

You're not getting that ball. No, because even Jalen Suggs last year, you know what I'm saying? Got to get his shut off of him.

[Mook]

Let'S run that back again. What defense? He was in no man's land, right?

[Teague]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Now beheading the confidence. They said he knew this, why he went through the shuttle.

[Teague]

Rudy, he didn't even try, bro. So he gonna be the one trying to go to Baylor, too.

He got 90 minutes. Going back to college.

[Teague]

[DJ Wells]

Like you said, be here. We losing recipes. Hey, shout out to Giannis right here. Is he out of pocket? Yes or no?

[Teague]

Oh, that was nice.

[DJ Wells]

It was pissed. He said what I do.

[Teague]

That was fire. I don't like sportsmanship in that instant.

[DJ Wells]

It got a little tricky, though.

[Mook]

Sh.

[DJ Wells]

Roll.

[Teague]

I'm nothing. Hey, look, that's like PJ and DeMarcus.

[DJ Wells]

The only difference is they have a Bobby Porter. Somebody regulated the Bulls. Know what happened with bp?

[Teague]

I don't like that, bro.

[DJ Wells]

So is that out of pocket? I know it's. Let the game go.

[Teague]

Just let me hoop, bro.

[Mook]

Y' all not gonna do nothing. Yeah, that's what I don't like. Yeah, what are y' all gonna do? Y' all gonna fight Giannis and get a fine for him? Duncan, no. Y' all don't care. And he don't care about y'. All. He walked right by them.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, see, he posted a pic after with him doing the wind.

[Mook]

Yeah, I love it.

[Teague]

The wind was fine.

[Mook]

Matter of fact, run it back. My boy. Y back.

[Teague]

That's hard, y'. All. This cause why ain't y' all playing defense? Play to the end of the buzzer. Play to the last whistle, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Put it on my highlight tape.

[Teague]

Y' all chose not to get back. You should have stopped me. Oh, God, if I could. Windmill. I'm throwing it off the glass.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, that happened with the warriors. With homeboy. Oh, yeah.

[Mook]

Jordan Bell.

[Teague]

Oh, God. I remember Tony Allen did that a long time ago in the game, bro.

[Mook]

They.

[DJ Wells]

They hate people for that, man. Shout out to y' all years ago. Oh, but speaking of squabbles, man. Go ahead, load it up, Lou. Mark Williams, the Jose Alvarado situation. Look at JP Face.

[Teague]

He look like Julian Newman, right?

[DJ Wells]

Everything worked out. Julian Newman supposed to be. I'm rolling Stony, though. Mar. Stony. Mark Williams a ho.

[Teague]

Mark Williams, like 72, bro.

[Mook]

You let that little steal you, cuz. Yeah, bro. Maybe I'll toss that little thing.

[DJ Wells]

Jose got two games. Mark Williams got suspended one.

[Teague]

Okay, I'm rolling with that.

[DJ Wells]

That's if I get suspended one game for getting punched on. Yeah, bro.

[Teague]

This is right after Jeff said, y' all ain't gonna do nothing.

[Mook]

They nothing.

[DJ Wells]

The same night Jordan poof said, whoa. He said, I've been here before.

[Teague]

They got a steel picking.

[Mook]

Jordan.

[Teague]

Oh.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to my boy, J.P. man. These kids. Shout him out after that. That's my dog, man.

[Mook]

No 520 interview.

[DJ Wells]

He liked it for sure. This MOOC segment. Hey, is this a travel yes or no? Go ahead, load it up.

[Teague]

Oh, my God. Oh, y' all silly.

[Mook]

Travel, cuz. Ah, travel, man.

[Teague]

Yeah, you gotta catch it on the run and then dump. You can't catch it, then go.

[DJ Wells]

I love how they have three different camera angles.

[Mook]

Yeah, that's the trouble. That's the trouble.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. All right, man. Verified buckets been here. Who was getting to it this weekend?

[Teague]

Oh, man, I'm. I'm gonna give it to JB, man.

[DJ Wells]

Of course.

[Teague]

JB 37, 7 and 4, man. Tyler Bird break the record. Nasty.

[DJ Wells]

For sure. T, where you going?

[Mook]

J.B. can't believe.

[DJ Wells]

I can't believe he switched up on you. Yeah, I can't believe. Why you ain't pick Kawhi, bro?

[Teague]

I didn't want to.

[DJ Wells]

I didn't want to. Scotty Bars. But he had 23, 25 and 10. He hooped out for sure. First time in franchise history they had that type of a triple double. Shout out to Luca. He had 34, seven. Your guy be hitting chat 29 and four blocks as well. Yeah, man. Get to it this weekend for sure. All right, before we get to the parlay, let's hop back in the super chat. Jeff I know you heard that they might be looking to trade Ice Trey. You see him going to the Rockets for Reed shepherd and some more young boys. It might be jalen team for. Yeah, they are on Trey Young's head. They said since he's been back there have been losing.

[Mook]

We on a six game skid.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, something like that. 125.

[Mook]

We lost what, five, six in a row. Six.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Putting the blame on him.

[Mook]

It just ain't a good recipe. It's wicked.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Get well soon.

[Mook]

They went On a what? 5 game win streak when he was out.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Then he come back and they go on a six game win streak. You know, Trey Young, our dog, man. I just hope that he don't start buying into what's going on. Cause it'll play. It'll get in your head. You know what I mean?

[DJ Wells]

People start saying you need to be.

[Mook]

Traded, you'll start buying into it and try to become the villain.

[Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

Like on your own team. Like you'll start posting stuff like, yeah, I ain't tripping. Give me. You know, you'll start liking on accident. Not on accident. But you'll say it was accident.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Mook]

You'll start looking at trade scenarios. I hope he. Because I did that. I think I had blocked the Hawks.

[Teague]

And they be knowing too when y' all do shit like that. Jeff T. Just unfollow the Hawks on Twitter.

[Mook]

Yeah, I did all that stuff at that time. So I hope he don't do that. Cause obviously the season can turn at any point. Yeah. But if they do trade him, I mean the Rockets. I mean, I'm pretty sure he'd be happy as hell to go to the rush.

[DJ Wells]

I've also seen some rumors of y' all looking into AD moving off of Yum. Zachary a pick and someone else. Maybe the salary of Porzingis.

[Mook]

Come on. Like couldn't wait. Like that'd be crazy if they got A.D. can't wait.

[DJ Wells]

Get well soon. I know. Yeah. Three stripe life. But what where we going? Oh, my fault with the. There we go. All right. For watching cold say loose the Raptors, I really believe they need to scoring big and Lori market is a perfect fit. What do y' all think the Raptors will go say? Of course they need lord marketing. But I'm something on the Raptors getting Lori marketing too.

[Mook]

Nah, nothing. Nah market with the Raptors. Yeah. Scotty Barnes, they need like a post presence. Like. Yeah, like a defensive anchor.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Mook]

So that's why Anthony Davis fit perfectly. Cause obviously he can guard. He can do the switching one through five, one through four, all that stuff. He can do that and he give you a post presence, but he give you a defensive anchor. Lori Markkanen. Defense ain't his calling.

[DJ Wells]

No at all. And does that solve the worst problem? Cause we just talked about how they need some type of defense. I mean, if they just gonna outscore people, cool.

[Mook]

But they need a more versatile player. Like and he's, he's tall, he's still 7 foot. So you know, Draymond, what makes him effective is that he can guard one through five. But now you got a more versatile four man at seven foot that can stretch the floor and can shoot. He gonna fit in perfectly with the Warriors. Now you don't gotta depend on Jimmy. If Jimmy gonna be able to get you 25. You know, Jimmy had moments where he just want to pass and 15, 18.

[Teague]

Yeah.

[Mook]

But now you got another bonafide 25 point game scorer and he can make a shot. I mean really good shooter. So it'll fit perfectly with them. I don't know who they got to trade to make that happen because obviously they gonna have to give up some picks. But their young guys don't really match with what Utah got going on. They got so many young guys that they don't need any more young guys.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. And they young guys, they probably like a little bit more than what they got over there. Go ahead. So they three team deal for sure. I moved on. Hf. Why are so many players not happy with their situation or looking for a trade? Is it playing time? Role, money, atmosphere.

[Mook]

It all plays a role. Money, role, atmosphere, all plays a role.

[DJ Wells]

All the above. Yeah. Three stripe life. But I ain't talking about Trey going one for one. Grab McComb man's asset of playing defense against the Bulls last week. They gonna say he got a rebound better. Oh yeah. He slapped the Bulls player on the butt yesterday and they got into it. It's wild. Shout out to Trey. I don't think he three strikes no more. But that's still a game for sure.

[Mook]

All 20.

[DJ Wells]

Family, please stop saying if we get a healthy ad. He's been elite 13 years and played over 70 games two times. He is not going to be healthy.

[Mook]

Yep.

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[Mook]

Well, facts are the facts.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to AD man. We still believe it's just take on some bench players. Gave me so much respect for the game before. I used to wonder why they go so hard with 3 minutes left but 8.3 assists and 2 steals. Looks great on paper when you're chasing that back Now I watch game two.

[Mook]

Yeah, facts.

[DJ Wells]

Everything adds up, brother. Other day I was watching the Hawks and maybe wonder should Trey stick around with the young talent or see or try to leave. Be here. Say leave.

[Teague]

Leave.

[DJ Wells]

Get him out of there. All right.

[Teague]

Right.

[DJ Wells]

Free trade. All right. Hey, y'. All. What's up from the A? Jeff, what's the best way to get on the radar of a college team as a 25 year old?

[Teague]

No, I know that's Jeff.

[Mook]

Give up.

[Teague]

Go start a family, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Hit the block.

[Mook]

25. I told you. It should be 24 under.

[DJ Wells]

But if you want to subscribe to YMCA, man, start there first, man. Go kill there first.

[Mook]

I skinny mine, man.

[DJ Wells]

Skinny man. Brother. Better Jason Tatum. They be a better defender in the offense. St JB score like Kawhi. White and efficient.

[Teague]

I like that. Hey, man, you got it, brother.

[Mook]

Chasing.
