Tea
It'S Tip off time at my house, there are a few things that are must haves on my checklist. My fellow friends and fans. Check my favorite jersey.
DJ Wells
It is good luck.
Tea
Check an iconic drink that's a fan favorite.
DJ Wells
Check.
Tea
Hypnotic can turn any cocktail into an iconic creation. With its game changing color and tropical flavor, Hypnotic should be in everyone's starting five. I consider Hypnotic the point guard on my game day roster because not only is it versatile, but like having it on the rocks or as a base for cocktails, it also finishes smooth. So grab a bottle of Hypnotic and make your next basketball watch Party Iconic. Enjoy the vibrant taste with friends and turn every game into a memorable celebration. Hypnotic where every sip is a slam dunk. Hypnotic Liqueur Bardstown, Kentucky 17% alcohol by volume, Hypnotic reminds you to think wisely. Drink wisely.
Mooc
Okay? Have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and Degree listen and that doesn't happen 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 men'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. Head to your local Walmart, Target and try the OG Cool. Rush for yourself.
Bishop
The volume.
Mooc
Good morning. Happy Thursday. It's 5:20 in the morning. Your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells. We got a full house this morning. We got Tea, we got Lou, we got Mooc, we got Bishop. Fellas, good morning. How y' all doing?
Bishop
What's happening, bro?
DJ Wells
What's. What up? What up, what up?
Mooc
Come on, man. I know y' all was on the stream last night for the draft, man, but let's talk about it, man. Shout out to the NBA draft. First round concluded last night with the second round to do tonight. How y' all feel about that? Y' all like that it split up?
E
Nah, that's weird. Get it all done on the same day, bro. This ain't football.
Bishop
Well, I mean, we left 12. Pick was at 10 o' clock, so. What? No, what's the name? Go. What time is go?
DJ Wells
15.
Bishop
15. 15. Pickles at 10 o' clock. So it would have been late, but I've been over midnight getting through that draft.
Mooc
Give people that day, that time period. Honestly, I feel like they need to. That clock needs to go a little bit faster, bro.
Bishop
Yeah, yeah, because don't draft me at 2 in the morning.
E
Yeah. Because today, who gonna watch the second round?
DJ Wells
For real?
E
Other than the people, families and stuff?
Bishop
That's really matter, though, bro.
E
I mean, like, you want people to look at it. You want everybody to see your moment.
Mooc
Yeah, man, listen, y' all need 90 seconds, man. Y' all been locked in all year. I got whole teams. We gonna drive. Very few of y' all gonna make trades. Man, let's speed this up, man. Y' all ain't thinking that long, man. Y' all making phone calls, doing all the other stuff for the draft gets in, man, let's go straight to it, man. The number one pick, obviously, Cooper Flag taking his talents down to Dallas, man. We all seen that coming. But Dallas got a whip, man.
E
They got a squad, bro. I mean, we seen this coming. We knew he was going there since forever. Kyrie come back, boy, it's going to get ugly. I don't know.
Mooc
You see what that. What Nico said. Hey, hope y' all tone it down this year. Yeah, let some of that disrespect fall by the wayside.
E
Yeah, boy, you look like a genius now.
Bishop
When Kyrie show be back? January.
Mooc
Couldn't imagine probably till. Yeah, next.
Bishop
Next year after Christmas, if they can stay healthy. Yeah, within like the 6 or 7. See, they could probably. When Kyrie come back, they could be about four.
DJ Wells
They Gotta go find a guard.
E
Yeah, yeah, they gonna get a guard.
Bishop
Yeah, they gonna grab one. But I'm saying if they can stay between six or seven, they can be top four on Kyrie come back.
E
They can win it though.
Bishop
He get him over the hump.
Mooc
Well, I wouldn't rush Kyrie back. I even kind of give him till February. March, as long as you're good to go for the playoffs. That's really kind of all. We need you for a championship team.
E
We don't need all that. Get ready for the playoffs.
DJ Wells
He. He toured in January. Yeah, he be back in January.
Bishop
Yeah, bro. 12 months. I don't take a year.
Mooc
He tore it in March.
E
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Oh, he tore it in March.
Mooc
Yeah, he tore in March.
Bishop
Oh, well, that's what I'm saying, bro.
Mooc
Come back after, you know what I'm saying? Valentine's Day, see if you feel like you good. March will come around. Cool. We just really need you to get going for April, bro.
E
On him.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he not playing next year. It's over.
Bishop
Damn.
E
N. Yeah, March is kind of tough.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he not playing well.
Bishop
That went fast.
Mooc
Two months he went for January.
DJ Wells
I thought he tore it.
E
January difference, bro.
Bishop
January, March, he going to come back and rock out. Especially if they looking like they can contend with something.
DJ Wells
Nah, bro, he sitting that year out crazy, bro. We tore it in March, bro. For him to be normal.
E
They probably play.
Bishop
Kyrie gonna play.
DJ Wells
That's why he signed that long term deal sitting out.
Bishop
I think they still gonna be a playoff team, though.
Mooc
Yeah.
Bishop
Because they go grab my solid guard, they gonna be cool this year.
DJ Wells
Well, obviously Drew Holiday don't want to be in Portland, so get him.
Bishop
Oh, yeah.
DJ Wells
Figure it out.
Bishop
Oh, that'd be crazy.
Mooc
They get Drew Holiday championship team. That's not fair. You can't scroll anybody on that team, bro.
E
If Drew Holiday go to that team, he might be one of the luckiest players. Like he play on some great teams, bro.
Bishop
He do, bro. But he's very, very important to each team he lands on.
E
100.
Mooc
Yeah, bro. And they definitely, you know what I'm saying, Feel the effects when he leaves. For sure. I would love for him. I'm rolling with that now. Let's go to Dallas. I know. He said, listen, Portland, I never put on a uniform. Quit playing with me. What they gotta do, man?
DJ Wells
Trade Najee Marshall. Trade. He owe Dante Ex on. You might have to give up. You might put. You might have to put Gafford in there or something about that one now. What you mean? They got Lively.
E
I Have to, though.
Mooc
But we talked about that. Yeah, they got a log jam at the big position, but that might be cool.
E
Really? We got live.
Mooc
We got A.D. you know, A.D. tends to miss time from time to time.
DJ Wells
That's why they get loaded up. That's why. But, I mean, you could trade PJ Washington. You can get PJ Washington, some other people. I like PJ Washington on that squad, too. But you could train him and get Drew Holiday for it.
Bishop
He undersized anyway.
E
You could get Drew Holiday. You would trade him P.J.
DJ Wells
Washington?
Bishop
Yeah, he undersized anyway. It's cool.
Mooc
And shout out to pizza contributor on that team.
Bishop
Yeah.
Mooc
But now you got Cooper flag, so the man's gotta go somewhere.
E
That's a fact.
Bishop
Yeah, you gotta go.
E
You gotta slide.
DJ Wells
Move PJ Around.
Mooc
For sure, man. Bright future in Dallas. For sure. The number two pick, the little Harper to the spurs, you know, Said there was a lot of conversations, a lot of chat. They might move it. They was doubling down on it, even with the Dear and Fox conversations. They said, we happy. What? We got it, too. How y' all feel about that?
Bishop
Man, I like it. Yeah, I. I didn't want him to go nowhere.
E
It's gonna be a quality team, of course, but kind of like what Jeff was saying. If he got to go to Phoenix or somewhere, we really get to see him rock out. For real. For real. But he's still gonna have a good year. I'm glad he get to play with some good players.
DJ Wells
I mean, I think that. I don't know how it's going to work. I mean, because Stefan Castle probably deserved to start now. Yeah, but do you start him like that? Do you keep bringing Castle off the bench and then let Dylan Harper take CP spot as a starter? I don't know.
Mooc
What I've seen in some of the mock lineups is obviously not official because I ain't from the team, but you got Dear, Fox at the 1, Castle at the 2, Basel at the 3, Barnes at the 4, Wimy at the 5. They need to go get a big, though.
Bishop
Yeah, they mean they have to go.
Mooc
Get a big backup. Big. I don't like that Castle has to start.
Bishop
They need a big.
Mooc
Yeah, there's no conversation.
DJ Wells
Yeah. I'm nothing on who you say was at the four Harrison Bar.
Bishop
I'm nothing on that five.
Mooc
I mean, he be hooping up.
DJ Wells
He do, bro.
E
But we got to get a better piece for him.
Mooc
Well, they got Carter Bryant at the 14th pick, which a lot of people didn't expect him to slide that low. They said a lot of potential in him. Six, eight wing, really good defender. They see, obviously he's gonna be a project, but he's gonna be able to get on court because of his defense.
E
Yeah, but I watched him play his offense. He not ready on offense. Yeah, I seen him. So he is a project, but I just feel like they got to get something for Brazil or Harrison Bar. Somebody gotta get traded, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah, they needed a big bro. I wish they would have got that. That boy from Duke.
Bishop
Yeah.
Mooc
Yeah, that would have been nasty.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he a defender. Let Wimby Rome a little bit. Be able to be the all Star. Yeah, but when we playing a five.
Mooc
Well, it said that the spurs are going to use their free agency to go get that big that they're looking for to fill the roster out. So they weren't worried about getting the draft.
DJ Wells
But who you think they gonna get?
Mooc
That is the next great question. I was like, who is available that who wants to leave? I mean, I ain't mad at going to the spurs, but who can move the needle for them?
DJ Wells
I don't know no free agent. Biggs.
Mooc
Yeah, that's too thought provoking right now. I mean, maybe like you said, Portland, they got some pieces. Maybe you want to get Jeremy Grant. I don't know if they could afford him a workout, but he work right there next to him. Wimby at the 4, but that's a long stretch, too.
DJ Wells
N. They got to let Wimy play the four. They need to get.
E
He want seven, five, four. That's crazy.
DJ Wells
Yeah, they need to get. They need the African kid. I ain't going to lie.
Bishop
Yeah, they need somebody, bro. When? When we can't play center, y' all.
E
Basketball is crazy.
Mooc
Why can't he play center?
DJ Wells
He can play center, but his skill set, you need somebody.
Bishop
Oh, you need a real center or somewhere close, like a lively or somebody like that, bro.
E
Yeah, G. I know what y saying, man. He a four.
DJ Wells
He's.
Bishop
Yeah, he just tall, y' all. He's just blessed to be tall. Got a real pity Petty, bro. He trying to get to it, but.
Mooc
I have a 75 at the 4. Is crazy move. Like, just the thought of. It's crazy, bro.
E
Basketball.
Bishop
He bring the ball up because this.
Mooc
Center gonna probably be 610.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah, like, oh, yeah, five. Yeah. Four. Men just gotta be super physical. Like.
E
Okay, lively would be perfect for them.
Bishop
Yeah, I need somebody like that, bro.
Mooc
Dallas is not doing that.
E
No way. But just be an enforcer. That'd be perfect, bro.
Mooc
For sure.
DJ Wells
Man.
Mooc
But yeah, Dylan Harper, man. Promising future, man. With a good team around him, I think he's gonna. He's gonna look real good next year.
DJ Wells
I really don't like that team no more.
E
I think he'll be solid. I like the team.
Mooc
Oh, yeah. The potential's there. Do you like it better when they could use those assets to get a proven player?
DJ Wells
Yeah. I liked it when I thought they was getting Kevin Durant and then I thought they was picking that big dude.
E
Yeah, that would have been nasty.
Mooc
Yeah.
DJ Wells
That's when I was like, oh, they gonna be hard.
E
I like Dylan Harper, but more sense to me. Get KD Bring in this. This big to play the five. Your team's huge.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
E
And y' all damn near the best team in every position. Y. Y.
DJ Wells
Wrong.
E
God damn near silly. I don't know. That made a lot of sense.
Mooc
Most definitely, man. All right, man. We will see, man. Shout out to the Spurs 2 pick Dylan Harper. Carter Bryant at the 14 pick as well. BJ Edgecomb at 3 to the 76ers. A lot of people scratch their head about this pick. That's the guy. That was their guy. That's what they wanted. That's what they went and got. They got a lot of confidence in him right now. A lot of people, you know what I'm saying? Said the jump shot, the. Off the. Excuse me. Offense is a little questionable, but athletically, he's gifted.
E
So he gonna be like, no, that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't understand.
Bishop
We need pieces now.
E
Yeah.
Bishop
That's not no developmental team. Like, we ain't no championship team. Like, they got lucky with a high pick. We need somebody that can help us right now. My boy from Duke went too low. The African, man, He went too low, man.
DJ Wells
They definitely should have picked him.
E
He did.
DJ Wells
At 3, they needed a backup big.
Bishop
You got enough that can get a bucket. Tyrese and Jerry McCain 15, 20 a night.
Mooc
Then we talk about Justin Edwards shining.
E
And B, don't play, bro.
Bishop
Then Jeff boy Edwards, whatever his name is.
DJ Wells
Yeah. He had a stretch where he was averaging 18 for, like, five straight.
Bishop
Terrible pick. I shout out to VJ it's nothing against you, bro. I'm just talking about what the team needed.
Mooc
Yeah. I don't nothing him being like. You know what I'm saying? The backup. That's that second unit being really strong with him. So he should be the backup, too, on that team.
DJ Wells
I'm just saying. I. I just think Edwards, bro. They had got him as a steal, bro.
Bishop
Would they be starting or they're starting.
Mooc
Five they already had.
Bishop
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Who is he back? Who? How is he in the second unit?
Mooc
Oh, he's gonna be starting.
Bishop
They already guard him.
Mooc
Yeah, but if you're gonna be starting, it's gonna probably be Jerry McCain and probably Tyrese Max at your one or two, right?
DJ Wells
Nah, hell no.
E
You don't think so?
DJ Wells
It's gonna be Max. They gonna start the same lineup.
Bishop
Jerry McCain came off the bench there.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
E
So then that's even worse.
Bishop
That's what I'm saying. What are we talking about?
Mooc
That team was kind of desperate.
DJ Wells
Paul George is going to be at the two.
Mooc
Oh, so they're going Tyrese Max at.
E
The one, PG at the two starting.
Mooc
And then who's at the three? Yeah, PG was definitely starting. I'll put him at the three. Kelly three. Who's at the four?
DJ Wells
Whoever they got at the four they.
Mooc
Didn'T beat at the five.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
E
Strong man, they got.
Bishop
I said on the stream yesterday, I hope they on J.D. davis and him.
DJ Wells
You can't put Paul George. You can put Paul George at the four.
E
Nah, no way.
Mooc
Nah, you can't.
DJ Wells
Kelly uber at the 4.
Mooc
I was going to say Kelly Uber might have to be a 4. PG at your 3.
DJ Wells
Oh, they need a new. They need a. They need a new team.
Bishop
DJ ESC is not playing on this team.
Mooc
Kelly U is a shoot. That's going to be tough then. Yeah. If it goes like y' all say lineup. Wilton. Yeah, he will definitely be fighting for some wing minutes for sure. Because they got a lot of them.
DJ Wells
I just don't know. I guess. I guess PG gonna be at the 4.
Bishop
It damn.
E
They ain't gonna win no games.
DJ Wells
So they start McCain at the 2. PG after 3 and 4 with Kelly Uber. That's it. I don't like that team no more.
Mooc
Yeah, they need a small. I mean, it's a power forward as well, man. But hey, shout out to vj, man, they like you. So that means you're gonna get an opportunity for show, especially a lottery. They gotta show what you can do. Shout out to you, man, the Hornets con canuple.
DJ Wells
You know what I feel about that 3 pick, though? Every mommy, when they got Evan Turner, it was like, yeah, I ain't need Evan Turner.
Bishop
Yeah, cuz Iggy and them was there.
DJ Wells
Yeah, like that really hurting me, bro. Yeah, he really didn't need. He got picked and never got really a chance. And I kind of feel like somebody on their team not gonna get a chance. Like, if they gonna move Paul George or Kelly Oubre and them, then I get it.
E
Yeah, but.
DJ Wells
But that mean Edwards, y' all got a stealing. Edwards like, NBA slept on him. Y' all gotta steal. He showed y' all could play. And people from that team like, nah, he nice. Yeah, y' all seen. Y' all seen my phone. They like, nah, he nice.
E
For real. Like, I mean, we seen him. He was out there hooping.
DJ Wells
Yeah, but when people from you know what I'm saying over there say, yo, nah, he really nice.
Bishop
Different.
DJ Wells
Yeah, you know, I mean, I mean, bro, he's no.
E
1 playing the country. I knew he was nice. He got out there and hooped every time he got a chance to. So they got to be giving him minutes.
DJ Wells
But wing dip is something the NBA need. You gotta have wings.
E
But I thought, is he six? Eight?
DJ Wells
Six, seven, six, eight. So shout out to bj, man, I.
Mooc
Hope we get a chance, man. Show what he can do. For sure. The athleticism shoots through the charts. That's what got him there to play.
DJ Wells
Really. But they did. They drafted another dude like that, the. From Texas Tech. I forgot the boy name. I think it was like Zaire Smith or something like that. He got picked high as hell. Like top 10.
E
He got hurt though.
DJ Wells
Yeah, but it was odd.
Bishop
That's like when Minnesota drafted all them point guards.
DJ Wells
It was like all athleticism though. And they like, oh, he's a great athlete. I'm not saying BJ won't be good, but I don't know.
Mooc
Yeah, three. That's probably not what that team really needed at the most point. Yeah, for sure. But shout out to him, man. Family looked really happy, man. His mom was crying, man. Hey, man, you changing our life. You're changing our family. That's always fire to see, man.
DJ Wells
That was dope. That's dope. I'm just saying, for the fit for him as a basketball player, I just didn't like that for him.
Mooc

You still quoting 30 year old movies? Have you said cool beans in the past 90 days? Do you think Discover isn't widely accepted? If this sounds like you, you're stuck in the past.

Mooc
But owning up to them? It's the right thing to do. But we all know degree Cool Rush Deodorant well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans, the grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started an online petition and degree listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.
DJ Wells
Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.
Mooc
All right man. Con Canoples Charlotte Hornets, man. They hiding man. They say the best shooter in the draft.
Bishop
Yeah, long as they don't turn him into B rad bro, they gonna be all right. Yeah man, they need to be on the team with the sprayer though. He got one.
Mooc
They put jelly roll up. They said six months in a little.
E
Balance for them too. Yeah, they thing down a little bit.
Mooc
Yeah man, I had a lot of.
DJ Wells
Pressure to put on him man.
E
I Mean, it is.
Bishop
But we, we, they. They need somebody that can shoot the ball at a high level though.
DJ Wells
They need a night, but it's like they need to revamp that whole organization. I ain't saying it like it's a bad place or nothing but jail.
E
Blazer serious, bro.
Bishop
It's not. This is tick tock century over here.
E
And it's gonna keep being that. Cause y' all best player is the top tick tocker in the world. Bro is lit.
Mooc
Yes. Shout out to lamelo ball.
DJ Wells
It ain't even that. It's like the veterans around, you know, we love Miles over here.
E
They got Taj.
DJ Wells
Taj probably done. I don't know. But it's just like you don't got no quality vets that's playing like, even though Taj is a quality vet. But Taj, you know, I mean, he playing, but he t. You know, Taj a cool og.
E
Yeah, Taj have fun like them.
Mooc
Yeah.
DJ Wells
You gotta have somebody that's playing like a Tobias Harris, like a true professional. Not saying Taj not a true professional. He is, but he's not playing like old buddy is starting. Tobias Harris is starting. He's there. He's there every day.
E
True professional early probably.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Teaching them the ropes. Not saying that. Like Miles Bridges is not. But he a young player still trying to find his way. He still got hopes to make the all star team and like that. They got too many people like that.
E
So who's a vet? They could get to do that though.
Bishop
Everybody probably scared.
DJ Wells
Cause you know if you go take that role, you gotta know like, damn, I could be. You need to have like a four year deal. I can be here for a while. Like if you go a one year deal over there and you try to be the vet, your probably over with you around, not play no more. Because they. You get with this group and they ass or they don't care.
Bishop
They sick.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Mooc
You said, look at Detroit. The culture turned around quick. They got a new coach. They got some best in the locker room. Not to say it was bad, but you know what I'm saying? They needed to change and look how quick they turn around. Charles. He's a good coach. He deserves to have a chance. But yeah, they. They gotta change their culture, man. Seventh element in the super chat says, I think the Charlotte Hornets quality had a good draft. They have another bad season, is a trauma trailer Mello. Yeah. If they have another bad season in this, he has to go.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Mooc
And a lot of people gonna go.
E
Yeah.
Mooc
If it gets to that yeah, he.
E
Needs to go and just let Brandon Miller had a team, bro. Meloda Clippers or somebody, it don't matter. A good team. But just let Brandon Miller had a team, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah, it's not fair to put Lamelo. He'd be the best player in a bad organization. Like, he just came. He got drafted to some for real.
Bishop
Yeah, he trying to make the most of it.
E
He's killing, bro. He do his thing.
Mooc
They just sad.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro.
Mooc
I made an all star team my second year of the league, bro.
E
They just sad.
DJ Wells
They just can't put the pieces around them that can help them. Like, even when Kimba was there, they never really put the pieces around Kimba. But Kimba had moments where he had some cool vets. Like he had an Al Jefferson, you know, he had a couple cool players.
E
And Kimba a different dude. Like, he not like that. He chill professional.
Bishop
Charlotte been dark forever, y' all. Let's just keep it real. It was cool. And my boy Gerald Wallace, freaky G was there. They was cool, you know, feeling they was AFC in the playoffs and shit. But it ain't never been green there. Never, never.
Mooc
Yeah, Kimber had some amazing seasons, but he also had some sense of. It was real wicked, boy. Yeah, man. Give us one to the Hornets, man. Shout out to conking up him, man. Hope he could be that bouncer. Looking for a hell of a shooter. Definitely should get some burn, man. At the fifth pick to Utah Jazz, Aries. Ace Bailey, baby.
DJ Wells
I ain't never seen somebody so sad to get drafted.
Bishop
And they double down. Well, I guess we'll move on. But Danny, ains you the goat?
Mooc
The queen on the super chat said, man, start off with that goofy that skip all beans just to go to Utah. Hey, man, he said, I want to.
E
Play in the East Coast.
Mooc
Don't you worry, buddy.
E
Don't even worry about it.
Mooc
Get your jacket ready. You will be at Utah Jazz.
Bishop
But the Utah, actually, they damn near was number two to me in the draft first round. They got two quality players. So Danny A came up.
E
I did.
Mooc
Now, listen, before the draft, they had some rumors going on. Talking about Utah had, like, presented the Celtics with a crazy deal for Jaylen Brown.
DJ Wells
And.
Mooc
And I saw what they drafted. I said, boy, if that's what they was offering, that's a hell of a stimulus they was trying to be on. But I ain't mad at Utah, man. I don't care what you say, Ace. Come hoop, bro, and it's the perfect organization for you right now.
E
He gonna get the Hoop. That's what he want really, ain't it? No, he gonna get the rock out.
DJ Wells
No, I mean, he gonna get the hoop. That ain't what he wanted and all that. Yeah, but that's what I was. I was gonna say, like, when you make it to the NBA, bro, the biggest thing is that they got banks in every city.
Mooc
Yeah.
DJ Wells
So you gonna be able to go to the bank. You gonna get that. You not there that long. You there for six, seven months at most, bro.
E
Lock in.
DJ Wells
You gonna go home.

DJ Wells
Angel, you'll be back in Atlanta, Miami, very soon.
Bishop
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Like, go ahead and get your game right. Hoop play. And it's probably the best for you, bro.
Bishop
Yes.
DJ Wells
Like, no disrespect to the people he got around him. Not his parents or nothing like that. I don't know the dude like that. But you need to keep the main thing. The main thing. Like, bro, go make Utah pop. Like, do what Donovan Mitchell did.
E
Yeah.
DJ Wells
He had it lit in Utah. They was going to the playoffs. They was winning. Nobody cared. He got his own shoe. He got all that in Utah.
E
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Then he left.

DJ Wells
And then left, bro.
Mooc
Yeah. Seven years champ. Make the most of it. Get you an all star bid. Have some crazy stats. Yeah. Thank, bro. Make it your own.

DJ Wells
That's a nasty duo. But you gotta. Yeah, you gotta chill, though.
Mooc
Yeah.
E
Okay, bro.
DJ Wells
Like the fact that you was like, disappointed when they called Your name the NBA, bro.
E
You've been thinking about that your whole life, bro. You should be hyped at 5. I don't care what team you on.
Mooc
Top 5 pick, brother should be lit.
DJ Wells
Because I don't think people realize, like just because you go to Washington, I mean, it's a preference, right? I want to live on the east coast, blah blah blah. My parents can see me, they fly everywhere. But you not gonna be a bigger star just because you went to Washington.
Bishop
Or that's a fact.
DJ Wells

But owning up to them. It's the right thing to do. But we all know Degree Cool Rush deodorant you well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans degrees whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does cuz Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started all out petition and degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush sent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's anti perspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.
DJ Wells
Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.
Mooc
At number six, our boy Trey Johnson to the Wizards turn up.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he called that. Yeah, he knew where he wanted to go. He different. He said I'm trying to go score, I'm trying to go kill. I like his mindset.
Mooc
Trying to go get a bucket, man.
Bishop
Love his whole demeanor.
E
He scored that ball and he get.
Bishop
To learn from some boys that already put in work in the league. That's hard bro. He ain't going to a Charlotte Hornet team where they still trying to find their identity. You know what I'm saying? C.J. gonna be like man, come on bro, let me show you how to do this. CJ's the ultimate professional.
DJ Wells
Yep. And they gonna move right out of this way. Yeah. The moment that they he shows some promise. Chris Middleton's going to the bench. Yeah.
Bishop
Because I already locked my 33 in.
Mooc
Gladly.
E
Go ahead I'll watch you trying to say these knees.
DJ Wells
Anyway, he gonna get Chris Middleton. Only doing this to get healthy to get traded to a contender.
Mooc
Most definitely.
DJ Wells
So as soon as they get the plan and little bro show some promise, they gonna move him out the way.
E
Yeah, got it.
DJ Wells
He on an expiring contract?
Bishop
Yeah.
DJ Wells
I'll get Chris out of here.
Mooc
Chris gonna start off the season real strong. They're gonna get a nice pick for him. He gonna go hoop somewhere else where he's mattered at. And yeah, man, the young feature of the Wizards, man, they got they two guard they looking for.
DJ Wells
Man.
Mooc
Trey Johnson is a bucket for sure. I'm interested to see how they progress next year. And we're gonna go to the Pelicans, man. Jeremiah Fears.
Bishop
They won a trade. I mean, won no draft.
Mooc
Think so?
Bishop
Yes.
E
I like that pickup a lot.
DJ Wells
I hope they let him play immediately.
E
Well, I don't see why they wouldn't.
Mooc
Let's go to this Pelicans roster, man. They just made a trade for Pool Party Jon Hurt.
E
I need all them minutes.
Bishop
They won, bro.
DJ Wells
I hope they just hand him the ball.
Bishop
Yeah, they got him and the Queen.
DJ Wells

E
Pool. Dang. They got damn hard. They did good.

They won this first round, bro.
Mooc
They got two killers. They got two killers. I can't believe Derek Queen dropped that far. Your Hawks. I was a little surprised that they was nothing.
DJ Wells
We train back. We got plans. Okay.
Mooc

DJ Wells
We want to drive. Really?
Mooc
We'll talk about that a little bit. But.
Bishop
You shouldn't me.
DJ Wells
We want to draft, bro.
Bishop
No way.
E
Derek Quinn.
Mooc
Derek quinn wins probably 12, 13, 13.
DJ Wells
It was our pick. Yeah, we traded it, though.
Mooc
Hey, man.
Bishop
Foolish, foolish trade.
DJ Wells
We won the draft.
Bishop
The worst trade.
Mooc
I like the young talent in New Orleans right now. I like it.
Bishop
That's hard. Hey, man, come on. New Orleans got a steal.
E
He's cold.
Bishop
The ATL needed Queen.
E
Big Ten tournament. He's silly, bro.
Bishop
Yeah, he's foolish. Trade.
Mooc
Hey, and I like the chain my boy had on Zero Fears.
Bishop
Yeah.
Mooc
Fire. Jeremiah Fears is starting to make him, man. Like you said. I hope day one he get a chance to play, bro.
E
Even though he said he the next Kyrie Irving.
Bishop
Damn, that's a lot of pressure, that is.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
E
Why you gonna do that?
Bishop
Chill out, Stephen A.
Mooc
He ain't slick. He been trying to give Kyrie praise. Hey, we remember what you said, bro. For sure. The nets at 8 took Igor Dimmin. A lot of people a little confused about that pick, but he's been a highly rated player all year long. At BYU for sure.
DJ Wells
He.
Bishop
He good, bro, but he is good. Why they don't like it?
E
Brooklyn like, they need somebody to come in and get to it, bro. He ain't that guy. He kind of fit in on the team, bro. He a piece.
Bishop
He a good piece. But I'm not mad.
DJ Wells
At 68 point, they got a 64 shooting guard. I see what they doing.
Bishop
I like it. I like to pick up.
E
I don't hate it. But I'm just saying he ain't going.
Bishop
I mean, he ain't going to move the needle right away. But that he did go to Brooklyn.
DJ Wells
Play like that one boy from the Bulls that had to look. What's his name? Had the case. Yeah, the girl lied on him. Yeah, he played like Giddy. He do okay, but Giddy is a good player.
E
He is, but he a good piece.
DJ Wells
Hey, Brooklyn just need pieces, bro.
Bishop
Right?
E
I need somebody to come in and turn it up.
DJ Wells
Brooklyn just need pieces. At this point, they don't have nothing.
Bishop
That's what I'm saying. Like just let them put the ball.
DJ Wells
But they trying to. They trying to get like a Euro style team. If you go look at their draft picks, they trying to get a skilled Euro style team. They trying to get them niggas up out of there. Go look at they squad. They can't wait to move Claxton.
E
They just gave Cam 100.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he ain't pure. He play.
Bishop
Who a Cam Dominican or something.
DJ Wells
He mix. But he played. He played. I'm just saying, look at.
Mooc
That's crazy.
DJ Wells
But look at. You could tell how they trying to. They trying to get a skilled foreign team. Like they just drafted. What's the big white boy that played at Michigan? Danny Wolf.
Mooc
Danny Wolf. Excuse me.
E
So he nice though.
DJ Wells
Yeah. I'm saying the team is gonna be Euro style based like they coaches. What Euro style coach. They gonna get a whole bunch of skilled tall guys that can do multiple things, can play multiple positions. The only wild person they got on their team, it's Cam Thomas. Like everybody else, they pretty much got rid of dang free Cam. But you got to have somebody that's an outlier that scores the ball, man.
Bishop
You want to make sure some points is getting put on the board.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he's the one.
Mooc
Yeah. Autumn 2020 is cute. You know what time is? I get the ball, get a bucket for show. Shout out to that gentleman headed up to Brooklyn for show at 9. Colin Murray Boyz went to the Raptors. I was a little confused by this pick for them because it seems like they keep getting all the same type of a player.
DJ Wells
Yeah, they trying to switch one through five.
Bishop
Jeff's. Jeff called it.
Mooc
Yeah, you said that early on about them, but they was on. Yeah, he definitely fits the archetype. Really, really good defender. IQ was really, really high for him. A lot of, you know, a lot of rates and a lot of rankings were saying he should be a lottery pick. I just didn't know if it made sense for Toronto. But shout out to them, man. Shout out to him.
Bishop
I ain't know nothing about it.
E
Fit the scheme, bro.
DJ Wells
They trying. They trying switch one through five, bro. I'm telling you.
E
I mean, that's clear with that pick. Yeah, they got a lot of the same. Scottie Barnes. They got a lot of the same deals.
DJ Wells
Brandon Ingram.
Mooc
Yeah.
DJ Wells
R.J. barrett. R.J. barrett. They switching one through five. I wish they would have got the kid from Duke. I know we keep talking about him, but I feel like he would have just fit them in that role because he can switch 1 through 5. Honestly. I know he played and dropped a lot of Duke, but he a good defender, good athlete. I think he would have fit what they had going on.
Mooc
Most definitely, man. And right there at 10 that the big man. Everybody went up for their team. K Milosh went to the Suns via the Rockets trade with kd.
DJ Wells
Perfect, Perfect pick.
Mooc
Yeah, the Suns, they. They went crazy for the bigs yesterday. Pause. You know what I'm saying? They added him in the draft and they traded for Mark Williams from the Hornets. Obviously he passed that physical this time, but hey, man, Phoenix making some moves.
E
So do you think he. He not going to start then since they got Mark Williams?
DJ Wells
Oh, no, he not starting over. Mark Williams?
Mooc
Yeah, he's not starting. You can give him a chance to develop, work with him some. I mean, he's gonna get minutes, obviously, but is he gonna start? Probably not. And that's okay.
DJ Wells
I think they drafted him in case Mark Williams don't hurt.
Mooc
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Or young, past physical, whatever going on.
Mooc
And they still got Nick Richards, so I know they gave him a little bit of bread, but yeah, that roster.
Bishop
I'm rolling with him. He gonna be playing by the end of the year.
Mooc
I think he's gonna play all year long. You think Gonna start by end of year.
DJ Wells
But they definitely. They about to. They about to package some of these boys up. Plumley, I think plumbing a free agent, but Nick Richards, he's getting packed up and he was hooping too.
Bishop
God bless you, brother.
DJ Wells
He going to the Lakers.
Bishop
Perfect fit.
DJ Wells
She about to get Packed up to the light.
Bishop
They need you.
E
They can use him bad.
Mooc
Yeah, I've seen the Lakers saying they're gonna try to be aggressive in the free agency. Trademark before. Big for sure. Walker Kessler's been a name. They've said for sure. And there was another gentleman that come to me as well. But, yeah, the Lakers need a big bad.
DJ Wells
Yeah, they about to pack. Impacting Nick Richards up in the Lakers gonna give back Dalton Connect. They want to get him, though. They've been wanting to get rid of Dog Connect.
Mooc
Yeah, he's been in every room. He ain't never seen that fast a good trade piece.
Bishop
He is. Yeah.
Mooc
The promise is there for sure. Speaking of some trades, obviously they not obviously, but they're trying to get Andrew Wiggins. Have y' all seen that?
DJ Wells
The Lakers well don't connect. Going to Miami there.
Mooc
Yeah, I was gonna say that's been rumored for there also. You know what I'm saying? They thinking about giving up possibly Rui.
E
For him wig there. That might be cool.
DJ Wells
I'm cool, man.
E
You don't like that wig might be all right, man.
DJ Wells
I like. I like Rui, man.
Mooc
All right, man.
DJ Wells
Shout out to that not over wig. Not like that. I'm just saying. I think he wig don't fit Brown and Luca like he ain't trying to sit there and shoot threes in the corner.
Mooc
We shall see, man. The Lakers typically get what they want anyway. Why not? Our man at 11, Cedric Coward, not Colin Cow her.
DJ Wells
Yeah, why she say that?
Mooc
Via the Blazers. We gonna talk more about that at the end of the show. But shout out to that gentleman, man. The Grizzlies wanted him. They went and got him at 11. Shout out to him was crazy.
DJ Wells
He started at D3.
Mooc
Yeah. He had a paper school starting up.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I rock with his journey. I might have to keep tabs on.
Bishop
Him to pay for school. End up a lottery pick is crazy.
E
That's insane. That's a fire story.
Bishop
Yeah, he need a doc.
DJ Wells
For sure.
Mooc
For sure, man. Shout out to that gentleman, man. Congratulations for sure to the Bulls. They put no escangay and they gave him a comparison.
Bishop

DJ Wells
This is 611.
E
He play like JT.
DJ Wells
That is 6 11, bro. Like what? What? 86 11, bro.
Mooc
Just the funny part about it.
Bishop
They must look like them.
Mooc
No, I gotta tell y' all the joke. This is what makes it Funnier. So it's another guard that got drafulated that they compared them to. But people on Twitter switched them up because of their nationality. So it was funny as so I had to tell y like that's funny.
DJ Wells
This is 610, bro. What?
Mooc
The people on Twitter mixed him up.
DJ Wells
With the other guard.
Mooc
They got trapped from France. So when I went look, I said, wait, this niggas are big. They have to be talking about the other person.

Headed to the Pelicans. I love this for him, man. He's going to get a chance to play. He is talented as hell. They got a lot of talented people that roster. I don't know who is going to stay. But man, like you said, him fierce.
Bishop
They won the first round, bro.
E
I promise they'd be sleeping on him because he's not athletic, bro. He's really cold. He shouldn't have dropped that far.
Mooc
But everything he does, like you said, skill. He's a big good on his feet, man. He's got some promise for sure, man. Definitely shout out to the young Pelicans, man. I might have to tap in for them for a second. And then at 14, we talked about Carter Bryant to the spurs, man. Like you said, he is a project. But he showed a lot of promise, man, especially on the defensive end. We'll go through the rest a little bit later. But do we have an early favorite for rookie of the year? It's probably way too early to be asking that right now. We ain't even got to summer league, but why not?
Bishop
Yeah, cool. They probably get handed to him, but I got Trey Johnson.
Mooc
Okay.
DJ Wells
Now I have to see. I will pick Ace Bailey. I just don't know if he. Because he gonna get the most opportunity.

To bring back the original formula. One guy even started an online petition. And Degree listen, they admitted they effed up and are bringing the original cool rust back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the.
Mooc
Number one men's Annie purse print for the last decade.
Bishop
It's the same reason why people were not happy when it changed. So if you never tried it, it might be a good time to see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart or Target to try the OG Degree Cool Rush for yourself.
Mooc
Okay, which player was in the best situation?
DJ Wells
Cooper Flag.
Mooc
Yeah, I was gonna say.
E
Yeah.
Bishop
I mean, fastest chance to win.
E
He went to the best as far as winning. But really, Ace Bailey in a great situation, bro, if he really want to, because he can go out there and kill.
Bishop
He has to take advantage of his opportunity.
E
If he do, he can go out there.
Bishop
I like Jeremiah Fear as a queen, though.
DJ Wells
Yeah. I think Jaron Fears got the best hand because they starting point guards hurt.
E
He's hurt, man.
DJ Wells
He walking right into trader CJ McCullum. Yeah, walking right into it.
Mooc
And there's talent around you. You don't have to go do it out there by yourself.

E
And what if he comes out?
DJ Wells
He's still gonna be sad. They still gonna be sad. He could kill. They just not gonna be a good team.
E
He could average 15.7Zion on some. I'm hoping this year they might be cool. Ain't. Might not.
Bishop

Yeah. I hope you just made that up. I hope that ain't no rumor.
Mooc
Excuse me. The Heat are looking for a Kamiga. We'll see. All right. Coleman Morrison. Super Chat said what do y' all think the Nuggets have to do to get back to the running man, Trey Michael Porter? Let him get healthy, man. If he can come back to the form that they think they can contend again, cool. If not, they got to make a quick move. Cuz that second day from just getting teams up out the paint for sure.

Bishop
He was thousand percent two great Players, for sure.
Mooc
Jack Brady in the super chat said, t, were there any teams you didn't want to get drafted to as a teammate? How would you react to a rookie who didn't want to play on your team?
DJ Wells
I. I didn't. You could have sent me to the G League. As long as I got the money, I didn't care. Most definitely, I would have been hype. First round pick, straight to the G league, wouldn't have been mad for sure.
Mooc
For sure. And I don't think the invest gonna feel no ways about that, bro.
DJ Wells
They don't care.
Mooc
They ain't even watch this.
DJ Wells
He gonna.
Bishop

DJ Wells
He gonna be so humble when he walk in that locker room.

E
This is part of the NBA, bro.

Mooc
What's that? That first practice like for both of y' all or that first, like, scrimmage you play against your teammates? You're like, oh, dang. Like this cold, too.
E
I'll be honest. I don't think I even played for real in the first scrimmage when I was in Chicago. I might have played a little bit. I ain't play a lot messing with TFs. He really had the guys out there.
Bishop
Oh, okay.
E
I played a little bit. Not nothing crazy, but nobody did nothing crazy. I seen Louis Dean going to work, but that's when I first seen they rob, and I was like, oh, damn, he really cold.
Bishop
That's what I was going. Yeah, I was gonna ask y' all, who did y' all see that ain't got a big name. That was raw to y' all small.
E
I ain't always like, bro, he got out there and went crazy. I was like, damn. Okay, the NBA is different, bro. Everybody knows.
DJ Wells
Nah, I was starting point guard on the second unit, so I played. I just seen how, like, strong them dudes was. Like, Mike Bibby was so strong. I'm like, God damn.
Bishop
But you knew right away that you was comfortable to compete.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah, I knew I was good.
Bishop
Yeah.
E
I was like, damn, Basketball is basketball.
DJ Wells
I was like. I'm like, if I start, bro, when I first got in the NBA, I swear to you, bro, the NBA was so easy. I'm like, I'm too fast. They cannot keep up with me. And then we played preseason games. I was averaging 20 in the preseason. I'm like, the NBA easy. But my confidence was so High. Like, that's when I was a score scorer. Like, my confidence was so high. I shoot any shot. Like, I was shooting threes off the jump ball. I didn't have no for, like, concept that, like, you got to get the ball to Joe Johnson.
Bishop
Got you.
E
Now, once you start playing in the game, it's just a game. My first game, I played Rondo. I'm like, damn, this Rondo. I got through in third quarter, too. Cause Nate got ejected. Yeah, I just got through out there. I went out there, I had, like, seven points. I was like, damn, this ain't that bad, bro. Yeah, once you start hooping, it's just hoops. Once you get past everybody, you see.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I was different. My confidence was too high. Me and Lou used to be out there like, this shit, easy, bro. I'm like, yeah, I'm going rookie of the year. I'm averaging 20.
Bishop
My boy confidence was through the roof, bro. That's hard, though.
DJ Wells
Preseason, bro.
Bishop
I was.
DJ Wells
I led the preseason scoring for rookies. I averaged 20.
Bishop
Nah, that's hard. I'm just saying, like, you went out there like, shit. Then you had to get humbled. And then right after preseason, he pulled.
DJ Wells
Me in the offense, like, yeah, you ain't gonna play the NBA.
E
Were humbled.
DJ Wells
I'm like, have you been watching the games? I'm the best player on the team.
Bishop
Nah.
E
Yeah, like that. Like, he probably really could have played. But they just, nah, you ain't gonna play.
Mooc
But then for you to say at the end of the year when you killed, he was just like, well, I guess I was wrong.
DJ Wells
Literally, he walked up to me and said, my bad, rook. I was wrong. You could play NBA.
E
Kept walking, bro. Cuz everybody good. It ain't like Mo. It's. You barely gonna see a sad person in the NBA. It's a couple, but you ain't gonna see a lot. Everybody nice, bro. So it's just kind of like, some.
DJ Wells
People got lucky that they had coaches who kind of just embraced what they was doing. I had Mike Woodson. He didn't embrace it. He literally just told me, like, nah. And you lose your confidence a little bit.
Bishop
Yeah.
DJ Wells
