DJ Wells
I love how the DB Looked at the sideline like, what happened?
Mook
Yeah, like, what are you doing?
DJ Wells
Get the off me. DK Metcalf is so disrespectful. That's crazy.
Teague
That. That was wild.
Mook
Like little kids, bro.
DJ Wells
If it was anybody else, I'd feel away. But that's DK Metcalf. I know it was the time. It didn't matter. But that was a dot there.
Mook
Watch.
DJ Wells
That was a dot.
Mook
Fight back, tool.
DJ Wells
Yeah, man. Give us on the tour, man. Shout out to the Steelers, man.
Mook

Mook
They was wondering why they gave up. I'm like, bro, it' too cold out there.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I'm nothing. And playing Pittsburgh in the winter, bro, that is crazy.
Mook
Yeah, I'm cool.
Teague
They got the gloves now, bro. That's heated. You should be straight.
DJ Wells
What about my arms?
Teague
You got the coats, you got the sleeves. You playing football? You active out there?
Mook

Mook
These is hard.
DJ Wells
My girl say we play football. It was cold.
Mook
Freezing cold. What?
DJ Wells
Yeah, I always respect people who play like short sleeve and stuff, cuz. Bro, that is negative 10 degrees, bro. You just get hit in the helmet, bro. In your body, bro.
Mook
You can't even fight somebody when it's cold, bro.
DJ Wells
They hurt so bad. Was I told you he still tried.
Mook
How one got be different to play football, bro?
DJ Wells
Nah, facts, N. That was a crazy game last night, man. Shot getting a dub. But let's get straight to it, man. Yeah, the NBA yesterday, crazy game. The Nuggets got the best of the Rockets yesterday. 128, 125 in the OT thriller. This game was absolutely insane, especially the fourth quarter. Joker 39, 15, 10. Come on, man.
Mook
Oh, Jamal Murray is so cold, bro.
DJ Wells
Jamal Murray 35, 5 and 3. Looking like OG Jamal Murray, bro. Sagun had 33, 10 and 10. Trippy Dub and KD had 25, 75. Go ahead and load it up, man. This is nothing but highlights, especially this fourth quarter.
Mook
Let's get James Harden to the Rockets, man.
DJ Wells
Okay, that's what they need.
Mook
Yeah, yeah.
DJ Wells
Jamal Murray just on a different type of time yesterday. Yeah, bro.
Mook
They're playing around.
DJ Wells
Shout out to Jo520 alumni. And this is crazy. This is great defense, better offense. The end of this game is crazy. Sequences back to back bucket. It's like a playoff game. Shout out to Reed Shepherd Back to back buckets in this game.
Teague
This crazy.
DJ Wells
This is hilarious. Seen this many times before. Yeah, man. That's how the game got sent to ot, man. Great basketball. Joker and Segment was going addy yesterday also. I got to show respect to KD in that fourth quarter. He had three blocks and one seal, which could have been a block that really put them in position. But come on, man. What do you do, man? Joker, Jamal, Murray, they too nice, bro.
Mook
Yeah, when they cooking, boy, Denver is a problem, man.
DJ Wells
Pay Watson get what got hurt in the first half. No Chris LeBron either.
Teague
That's a good game. That's a good game. I want to see them in the playoffs.
Mook
You like that matchup?
Teague
Yeah, I like that.
Mook
What's that? Where they at in the Western Conference? Houston been hooping?
DJ Wells
Oh, I think Paul's right behind each other at three, three and four, if I believe.
Teague
If I'm correct, I love to see that.
Mook
I think somebody gonna pick Chris Paul up just off the stream.
Teague
I think he probably should sit it down.
DJ Wells
That is kind of crazy. Somebody don't with Chris Paul.
Mook
This off the strength, bro.
DJ Wells
Excuse me. Denver is at 2, LA at 3, spurs at 4 and rock out of game though. 5.
Mook
Yeah, it's a tight rest in the way.
Teague
Yeah, it's all about a game, that's all.
DJ Wells
But yeah, that was a hell of a game yesterday. Like that turned into a playoff game last night.
Mook
Yeah, very interesting to see how Denver moves forward, you know, with the injuries and stuff. They can consistently, you know, keep this going. Having Aaron Gordon out, probably one of their premier players that was having an all star year. Hopefully he gets back soon, but having him miss a couple games, it's interesting to see if they can continue to do this. Like Christian Braun being out and if guys can keep stepping up because whoever Jones was, I don't even know who that was, but he hit a big shot down the stretch.
DJ Wells
He hit two yesterday to see if.
Mook
He could continue to do stuff like that. It's very interesting, but having Jokic and Murray at a playing at high levels right now, looking like they in shape and feeling good, it's definitely probably for me, the second team to beat in the West. Obviously we know how good OKC is, but Denver, if they stay healthy, if they can get healthy, I think they got a good chance of winning the West. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Shout out to the rookie. Spencer Jones showed up big time for them yesterday. And the 4th and OT and some clutch shots for sure. Like you said, it's looking like a system, man. All the role Players playing well. We still haven't got the Cam Johnson we know we could get from that team as well. Denver's scary, man. That's a scary team. But the Rockets team, listen, they were right in that game yesterday. Sa. They said behead. You got to walk back to that comment. They said he ain't too far off.
Mook
I. Ben said that.
DJ Wells
They said he, you know, he had a good game.
Teague
He had a good game versus Joker this game. Yeah. I didn't say. I don't want to talk about it because y' all didn't say nothing when they first played. He played piss poor Joker, busted his ass. But I like Sengu. He's a. He's a. Definitely a great player. He just. He's just not Joker.
Mook
He not Joker.
Teague
He. He held it down though and everything. They were supposed to win that game. I do wish I see it right there. I wish KD would have shot more, but you know, that ain't even his game for real.
DJ Wells
But yeah, 14 shots even. I mean, we love to see the aggression for Reed shepherd, but there were some times it's just like you got to get the ball to kd.
Mook
Game ad so efficient, bro. I think that's where the evolution of Reed shepherd gang has to come. I mean, I know he in his second year, but like recognizing time and situation, like, I know you made a big shot and I know you a good player, but it's damn near at no point in the year you ever should take more shots than KD Facts. Unless KD on the bench and out, like, you should never have more attempts than kd and there's nothing wrong. And I know KD playing the right way and he probably love Reed Shepherd. He probably like keep shooting. But like recognizing that this guy is 8 for 14, I have to figure out some way to get him more shots. That's a fact.
DJ Wells
Five or 17 for Reed Shepard there.
Mook
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Definitely could have sworn the ball a little bit more in that situation. One thing I wanted to talk about with Shootig was that I saw late in the game situation, boy, men. Thompson was almost like neutralized because of his lack of shooting.
Mook
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Is that why? I think that's maybe some reason why I think Reed had to take some of those shots. But what do they do for a man late in games to keep him active? Because at one point they was just kind of packing the paint.
Mook
They're going to have to put him in a dunker and he has to live there. Like at the end of the game he literally has to either Set a ball screen or he has to play in a dunker and like he has to drive and try to get offensive rebounds or be the guy that get put back dunks or little dish off pass. Yeah, he got to play like a big. Because he can't shoot at all. And like he's a really talented player. Defensively he's good. He can make plays in the open court. But at the end of the game his shooting is so bad. And I remember at one point in their career Aaron Gordon was like that like early. He needs to take a page out of Aaron Gordon book.
DJ Wells
That's perfect.
Mook
And get in the gym like. Cause now Aaron Gordon is a threat from the perimeter. Like he got 10 threes or whatever and it's going to take some time. But right now me and Thompson is literally not a threat at all on the perimeter. When he gets down to crunch time, they either gotta take him out or they gotta put him in a dunker. Yeah.
DJ Wells
And he's so valuable on defense. So what he does is you gotta danger have him in the game. But like you said, I saw some players who was just like well he got the ball and they just like I wish you shoot this shit right now.
Mook
Like what they used to do with Rondo at the end of the game when Paul Pierce had the ball. Either Rondo would go up and set a ball screen and try to get a smaller guy on Paul Pierce and then he would go to the dunker or he would just start there, he initiate the pass, then he will run to the dunker. He was such a good offensive rebounder. Rondo.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Mook
That he would play down there and he knew how to play in the dunker because he just wasn't a capable shooter at that time when he was in Boston early. And that's where he might have to go. Watch some film at the end of the game how Rondo would do certain things. But yeah, I guess.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Well said man. That was a hell of a game yesterday. Shout out to the Nuggets. Getting that dub Rockets right there, man. They're going to be a scary team later in the season for sure. But before we move on Jamal Murray when he playing like this, it's a championship aspirations for sure.
Teague
Every time. That's a wild duo, bro. I like that when they both healthy. I don't like a better duo than them just cause how spectacular Joker is all over the floor, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah. And it seemed like it was moments in the fourth row where he was scoring. It was like reluctant like I don't even want to shoot the ball right here, but I hit a fight away with two people. It's cool.
Teague
Yeah.
Mook
You think they the best duo when they healthy and they.
Teague
When they playing. When Jamal Murray can get you 25 to 28 a night with Joker doing all he do, bro. Bro, ain't no better duo in the league than them. To me, he's just so much. Joker just so much better than everybody in the NBA.
Mook
You taking them over a healthy Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, A thousand percent.
DJ Wells
Okay. Some duos across the league, they have.
Mook
They all won chips.
Teague
So Joker.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's a fact. Luka and LeBron, I mean, LeBron a little bit older, so.
Teague
Joker boy, that boy something else, bro.
Mook
They in the fight.
Teague
Yeah, them my dogs, too. I'm nothing, though.
DJ Wells
You nothing.
Mook
Joker and Shay kind of cancel out. They did beat them, though.
Teague
That's just my. This is my opinion, though.
DJ Wells
They beat them on the way because.
Teague
Katie and Shagun, they. They fired too. It's a lot of fire. Duos. I just.
Mook
You ain't mad at that.
Teague
You could just trust Joker so much.
Mook
Hey, man, I like that.
Teague
And he's always available. You know what I'm saying? I just.
Mook
His big ass never hurt.
Teague
That's a though, bro. Like, so he played a lot.
Mook
Yeah, yeah.
Teague
Everybody else in them duos damn near be missing games. For real. You just don't know when, like.
DJ Wells
All right, chat. Let us know how y' all feel, man. Best dual in NBA for sure. I will move on to the other game yesterday. The Pistons got the best of the Celtics yesterday. 112 to 105. Cade Cunningham 32, 10. He hooped out yesterday, man. He definitely did shout out to JB though. He had 34, 8 and 7. Derrick White had 31 and 6. Man. Go ahead and load up the house with this game, man. They was getting active yesterday. Shout out to Isaiah Stewart.
Teague
Boy, JB look crazy.
DJ Wells
JB was hooping yesterday.
Teague
Y' all seen mocking Isaiah Stewart?
DJ Wells
Yeah, holding the fist. They don't like each other, bro.
Teague
I was rolling.
DJ Wells
Isaiah Stewart out here playing bully ball. Move.
Mook
Damn. He probably can't fight, bro.
DJ Wells
I wouldn't test it until you guys.
Teague
We the only person showing Isaiah Stewart. I know that's a fact. That's in ballist life.
DJ Wells
This is crazy right here.
Mook
Oh, my God.
DJ Wells
Yeah, run that back. He ducked the out. Derek White yesterday off the steal. This is crazy. Okay.
Mook
Woo. I know. JT, right? Was laughing. Let me see. Jt. Hey, sold up. Where's JT at?
DJ Wells
Excuse me.
Mook
I Know he probably.
DJ Wells
You run one more time, Lou. It.
Mook
That shit's crazy. Oh, he punched on his ass. You. You.
DJ Wells
That should have been a foul, bro.
Mook
I got. Say something. That's crazy.
Teague
Damn, that's hard.
DJ Wells
Hey, go ahead and load it up, man. Kate was getting to it yesterday. Best PG in the East.
Mook
Six, eight.
DJ Wells
You got to rebound. Especially when they're small.
Colin Coward
You got.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah. Say help, please. Not enough.
Teague
Who the was that.
DJ Wells
On the rim like that? Sam? Not enough.
Teague
This my favorite part of his game. Just his pace. He can hoop, but you damn near gotta adjust to him, bro.
Mook
Like Joe Johnson, bro.
DJ Wells
Hey, double hesy.
Teague
There's nothing you can do. For real.
Mook
At his own pace.
DJ Wells
Shouts J I.
Teague
That's a long night.
Mook
Wow.
Teague
Yeah.
DJ Wells
He got wicked second half, boy.
Mook
And he running in the East.
DJ Wells
And one. Yes.
Teague
He's just the best guard, period. Out there.
DJ Wells
Might be the best PG in the east right now.
Teague
I'm just talking about guard, period.
Mook
It look like it. That's my 2K move right there. Mouth and between the legs.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah. Help. And this is so disrespectful.
Mook
For a long time.
DJ Wells
This is crazy.
Mook
Let's go home. That's a great defender, too. I wanted to say I apologize to the Detroit fans because I always been a Detroit fan since last year. I was the first one on the bandwagon or whatever, but I said he was out of the MVP conversation. And that's a lie. Yeah, that's a lie. He's the front runner for the mvp. Damn. Cause this team, he has no other star. Everybody else got legit stars on their team. He's the only star. Nobody else on their team gonna be even considered. I mean, Duran, Darren, whatever his name is, Dylan Duran, he might be considered for an All Star this year, but it ain't, like, guaranteed. He's the only guaranteed bonafide star on that team. Everybody else, Jalen Williams, all defensive, all NBA. Shay, Chad, LeBron, Luca, Austin, Reaves. Everybody got considerations. He's the only one where you look at a second player and you be like. Cause he could get in our argument with Cat. Like, you know what I mean? It could be him and Cat. It could be him and whoever else left in the East, Giannis or whatever. You know, Giannis been out. He might get lost in it or whatever. He the only bonafide star. And he got this team, one of the top teams in the whole league. They got five losses. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Getting to it right now.
Mook
He. He definitely should be in the top one or two in MVP for Me number one, just because he don't got no help. And I'm not disrespecting they seem. I'm just saying, as far as, like, stars. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Because, I mean, like you said, you got Jalen Durant, young rising player, but a lot of benefits from playing with Kate as well. Isaiah, come on. We got quality players. Like you said. Bonafall all star out the gate. No shout out to Harris, man, average of 14 this year.
Mook
Nah, they're good players. Not. Not hating.
DJ Wells
And everybody lock in, too. The vibes is hot. Ron Holler, come off the bench, play crazy defense. Thompson, twin do it. Everybody is locked in. And they let.
Mook
They got a great team. Yeah. But they don't got stars. And I'm not saying that people not starring in their role. Obviously, Tobias is playing well. Jalen's playing great. The whole team's playing well. But that is the bona fide star on the team.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Teague
Carrying like, how D. Rose was carrying. Shit.
Mook
It's giving you that vibe, right? A different way of doing things, but similar teams. They had Joaquin Noah, who was a bona fide defender. You liked him, but he wasn't a perennial all star. He made the all star team a couple times. All defensive team. Great player. Who was Tyrese Maxey or. I like K. Because they winning. I think they do it. They go about it differently. Obviously, Tyrese is explosive scoring, but K, they winning. And it's just him.
DJ Wells
And there's no disrespect that 32 was needed yesterday. That was not a blowout. Come on, man.
Mook
It's him. It's him. That's our respect.
DJ Wells
Like, shout out to Detroit, man. Holding it down.
Mook
Yeah, it's him.
Teague
Yeah.
DJ Wells
That's awesome.
Teague
I like that. He'd be best guard over there. To me.
Mook
Yeah. Facts, bro. I ain't mad.
Teague
That's my. He proved I'm like the point guard that he's.
Mook
I've seen enough on me, bro.
DJ Wells
He like it.
Teague
I've kind of seen enough.
DJ Wells
I would say.
Mook
I was looking at it this morning before I got here, I was like, dang. I might have disrespected him. Remember, we was like, nah.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Mook
It ain't his year.
Teague
Yeah.
Mook
Nah. Damn near your year.
Teague
If they can keep it up. The only thing that sucks about them, they can't afford an injury.
DJ Wells
No.
Teague
So how they.
Mook
But they didn't have injuries. Not from him.
Teague
I know, but I'm saying, though, bro, like, if one of day, especially not.
Mook
From him, they've been hurt.
Teague
They would be great role players. Go down and Pete. I'm just saying how the NBA usually works.
Mook
He damn near is the mvp, bro. He carries a lot of weight for that team.
Teague
No.
Mook
He had to shoot 50 shots one game, bro.
Teague
Awesome. Real. That's crazy. I'm a super fan of his game, but that's. I'm just telling y', all, like, it comes down to wins and losses sometimes in the NBA. Mvp.
Mook
That's a fact.
Teague
I was just saying he can't afford one of his guys to go out because that might hurt them.
Mook
But I was just thinking about if he was to get hurt. Knock on wood. I hope he don't.
Teague
I wish they went off.
Mook
That would be horrible.
Teague
I wish the MVP went off that.
DJ Wells
If that's the case, everybody else.
Mook
Everybody else can sit out and they team still got. I wish that Shay set out. They team won by 40. Luca LeBron could carry Austin Reese can do that thing. Bronson get hurt. I had said Brunson, but now Cade Brunson get hurt. The Bronson been hurt this year and the Knicks still kind of survive.
Teague
Joker can't sit down too long.
Mook
Facts. Joker can't sit down. He can't sit down.
DJ Wells
It's quiet, but they can. Like.
Mook
It's a rap, bro. If he don't play, bro, he had to shoot.
Teague
We said the same. Y' all absolutely right. I agree with y'.
DJ Wells
All.
Mook
The reason I like K, like, because he did have a game where he shot 50 shots and they won still or whatever. How many shots it was. It was a record. But to think about it, like, in the terms of, like, players, right? He has no. When I say this is not disrespectful.

DJ Wells

Mook
All these dudes, like, he got nobody to pass to though. Yeah, nobody was tripping. Everybody shoot another one Cuz young boy had a game that game. The young guy off the dread.
Teague
Yeah.
DJ Wells
I wouldn't mess up, but it's Jenkins, right?
Mook
Yeah, yeah.
DJ Wells
He hooped for, like, a couple games, too. It's.
Mook
I'm saying they've been hurt. And he still been carrying city.
Teague
Tom, bro, you worked every shift at Amazon, bro.
Mook
All you guys assure Thompson's been out.
DJ Wells
That's a fact.
Mook
I seen Paul Reed came in, play good minutes that game. Sasser been out.
DJ Wells
Yep. Ron Hollandman, hooping, though.

DJ Wells
He been shout out to him.
Mook
Boy, he has some games for himself.
DJ Wells
So on me, his last. Yeah, his average might not be as high, but he delivered a lot of games.
Mook
But that Katie Cunningham effect is crazy because he carrying.
DJ Wells
Well said, man. Shout out to the Pistons.
Mook
Shout out to him for sure. Keep killing.
DJ Wells
All right, we in the super chat or we going to the Jazz game first? All right, we in the super chat this morning with it.
Mook
All right.
DJ Wells
Tap to the 5:20 in the backcourt connection. Shout out to y'.
Mook
All.
DJ Wells
Spurs got wins over the Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets and Lakers. How far y' all got them going in the playoffs? Shit, if Wimby's healthy, sky's the limit. But at some point, it might get a little wicked.
Mook
Yeah, I like the spurs, but Wemby, he get hurt too often for me. Yeah, nice to, like, fairly young. Yeah, to put, like, a stamp on him, but he get hurt too many too often. He does.
DJ Wells
I think he gonna have his moment this year. We're gonna have the win me breakout moment in the playoffs this year. I think it's the next step for him. He gonna win the first round series?
Mook
I hope so.
DJ Wells
The west is crazy, though, like you said. All those things we just mentioned are really, really good. I mean, they got a roster that can compete with some of those teams.
Teague
It's just tough out there.
Mook
That's the beautiful thing about the spurs, though. They got enough players that if Wimy go down, they still got a competitive team.
Teague
Facts.
Mook
Cause they got ace share of ball, and they got so many people that can score. Yeah, but if Wemby's not there to make a real playoff run, I don't see it.
DJ Wells
Yeah, no, well said. I got a promising roster, though, for sure. All right, back in the super chat. Love the pod. Got me through some dark times. Appreciate y' all.
Mook
For real.
DJ Wells
Star, Bench, Cut. Brunson, Maxi Cade. Shout out to you, brother.
Mook
All right.
DJ Wells
Where y' all going with this.
Mook
Damn. I'm a star, Cade. Yeah, I'm a bench Brunson. And I love Maxi. I got Cuddy same. That's probably right, bro. That's tough, though.
DJ Wells
Damn, that is tough. Those are three this year. Those are three.
Teague
Reverse my shit.
DJ Wells
You starting Maxi?
Teague
I'm starting. No, I'm starting Cade.
DJ Wells
Okay.
Teague
I'm a bench Max cut Brunson. Cut Brunson.
DJ Wells
I ain't mad at that. Brunson Dalen as well, but tyres maxi average 31.
Mook
Let me get him off the ear.
Teague
I just meant this year, he ain't got the resume like jb, but, oh.
DJ Wells
Yeah, and again for y' all weirdly clipped us up. We're talking about three all NBA guards. There's no disrespect.
Teague
I don't even care more. Dj.
Mook
It's cool.
Teague
Yeah, they can have it, man. They be making seem like when we don't pick one of their players, we done call them sad. Oh, yeah, Jeff.
Mook
You could never do what they do. I be like, then y' all got.
Teague
Them acting all weird, geared towards us not saying JB or nobody. Just. That's how it is. I know how I be getting clipped up. It looked like we hating, and that's definitely not the case, man.
Mook
Yeah, I probably would have to cut Jalen this year and put Maxi.
DJ Wells
Maxi has been killing because my average 29 is crazy. But when the person average 31, it's.
Mook
Like, yeah, Maxi has been killing.
Teague
Yeah, that was a good question, bro.
Mook
Yeah, it's all interchangeable, man. On any given night, bro, I can cut.
Teague
All right, let's do. Let's do this, though. In the clutch, though.
Mook
Oh, I got Brunson.
Teague
How y'?
DJ Wells
All.
Mook
Jaylen Brunson.
DJ Wells
Jaylen Brunson won K2.
Mook
I was player of the year. I. I won Brunson.
DJ Wells
Jb, respectfully, JB made a highlight against K team. I will not ever show disrespect. Jalen Brunson once.
Mook
And the fourth. I need Jalen Bronson. Yeah.
DJ Wells
What time do we in put Booby in. All right, back in the super chat. Every time we watch the top teams in the west go at it, I can't help but think to myself, there's no way LeBron can survive four rounds at that level of basketball at this age. Do you guys think it's possible?
Mook
I don't put nothing past Brian, bro. I'm gonna be honest with you.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's LeBron James, I believe. Yeah, that's LeBron.
Mook
Yeah. Brown would be all right, man. I Mean, he worked hard as hell to be in that kind of shape to deal with that kind of basketball.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Mook
I just don't think the Lakers as a whole is good enough team to survive four rounds of that. I just don't think they got enough. Like I think Luca and LeBron are so good. Austin Reeves are really good players. But everybody else like a well oil machine. Like the Lakers are playing well. Yeah. But like they defense at any given time, individual defense can be exposed.
Teague
Right.
Mook
You know what I mean? Like if they go up to okc, Shay could put all them in a pick and roll and get a bucket.
Teague
Yeah, that's true.
Mook
They go against Jokic. Who the is going? Jokic.
Teague
No, you're right.
Mook
Yeah, they go against the Rockets. Just get Luke on kd. We good?
Teague
Oh Lord, what a night.
Mook
So yes. Anybody on kd? Austin, Reeves, even Braun.
Teague
I think that's a better matchup though, Lois. The Keys I like. I like the Lakers beating the Rockets over the Nuggets though.
DJ Wells
Oh, for sure. But I would love to see a Lakers in spurs series. Cause that could get tricky. Obviously you got Luka, Arkansas and LeBron. But you got young Wimby and you got D Fox and you got them young guys down there that get them down the court with the second unit. That'd be a hell of a series.
Teague
It depends on what Brian you get though.
DJ Wells
I'm a respect it and trust it in the playoffs. We're gonna get LeBron James.
Teague
No, it's gonna get ugly for the spurs then.
DJ Wells
Well said. All right. The super chat. Morning, fellas. Is it time for the Cavs to consider trading Darrius Garland? If yes, where would you send him?
Mook
I mean, the Cavs kind of fell off this year. They definitely fell off. Dang. I mean I. I told y' all they was the Hawks. This is literally what happened to us. We had that hell of a year.
DJ Wells
I forgot about the Cavs went from top five. Not mentioned.
Mook
This is literally. They're literally the cat. I mean the Hawks 2.8 Cavs game. I'm changing the channel.
DJ Wells
And what's crazy is Donovan Mitchell has been playing elite basketball.
Mook
All. Can you go serious Garland, do your best. Shit. Yeah, we get 30 on damn near 50%. Shoe. Yeah, bro.
DJ Wells
It's not my fault, bro.
Mook
Do your shit, bro. But y' all is weak.
DJ Wells
That has to get better. Obviously come back from injury, but 15 from Garland, that's not where you.
Mook
It's the. It's the shooting percentage.
DJ Wells
Yeah, 36%.
Mook
That's dark. And you know DG, Indiana Kid. I love his game, but golly like 28%.
Teague
This is time for a new. New journey, bro. That's all.
Mook
Change of scenery.
Teague
Yeah.
Mook
He's shooting 28 from three.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that ain't it.
Mook
Yeah. He a way better shooter than that. Yeah.
Teague
Yeah.
DJ Wells
He get back. He hurt me too. So I'll start hurting. We'll see. Evan Boby stats.
Mook
Yeah. Way better shooter than that.
Teague
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Yeah. He's going through a slump right now, but yeah, as a whole, the Cavs are you Pew.
Teague
Give my boy Darius Garland somewhere where he appreciated 19.
Mook
19. He gonna be always be at that 19.
Teague
Yeah, that's solid. I told you though.
Mook
We told him to do 24, bro.
Teague
Cause that's hard to do.
Mook
It's not, bro.
Teague
I'm averaging 20 and nine and four assists, bro.
Mook
You killing. But if y' all want to be a better team. Yeah, 24.
Teague
Damn.
Mook
11. Let me see.
DJ Wells
This is the year where the east is wild.
Mook
Max player, bro.
Teague
This old boy with the fro stretch still playing.
DJ Wells
Of course he is.
Teague
Definitely.
Mook
You know, he had he been in trade room.
Teague
I actually should.
Mook
He should be in trade. Rumors on my mama.
DJ Wells
The Cavaliers being seven seed in the.
Mook
East is a joke with the highest paid bro. I think he's. I think you guys consider trading Darius Garland, Andrea Allen.
DJ Wells
No, man.
Teague
Yeah.
Mook
I ain't mad at it.
DJ Wells
Jared Allen gonna help a team. They're gonna be pissed.
Teague
Get a good helping this team.
Mook
What do you trade Darius Garland? Who do you trade him for, man?
DJ Wells
I know where Teague is going to send him. Sacramento.
Teague
They need a real pg, man. Bring my boy Tyler Hero to Cleveland.
Mook
Tyler Hero? Yeah. I don't even like the way that look, bro. They don't even. Him and Donovan Mitchell don't. Mitch, they need like a taller guard.
DJ Wells
After 14. 7.
Teague
He don't. He definitely don't.
Mook
You know who would be really good for them and he's probably good for every team. Obviously Drew Holiday would be good for them. But they need like Derrick White.
DJ Wells
Yeah, yeah.
Mook
Obviously they're not gonna be able to get Derrick White from the Celtics. But they got Derrick White. No, they got Derrick White, bro. Or Drew Holiday type of dude that can bring the. Be the point guard, but also like a combo. Is there any other players in the league like that?
Teague
I'm too old.
Mook
Only two people like that, bro.
DJ Wells
Automatic wiggle call. You need them two names.
Mook
I'm trying to figure out who else is like that. But Derrick White be the perfect fit for the team because he can score. He can defend. He can play the one and two. And you damner gotta be a combo guard now. I thought Lizzo Ball was gonna do that.
DJ Wells
I mean, he's been helping that team.
Mook
But a knee gone, dog.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I'm looking at that. That record, boy. Y' all down there with the Hawks, and the Hawks endured a lot. They went out on Win street to.
Mook
Get to that place. This nigga, bro, doing this, bro. That's GTD 16 8.
DJ Wells
I might. I might not have vibes.
Teague
Don't send my boy to Cleveland, though.
Mook
I mean, you probably want to play that kind of leave a needy, bro. Even though Derek White's shooting horrible this year, it's just like, you know, the intangibles that he bring.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I mean, he's still a buck. Yeah, 31.
Teague
He a bigger guard for sure.
Mook
Yeah.
Teague
Donovan Mitchell, he could use Derek White for sure.
Mook
For sure.
Teague
I agree.
DJ Wells
I got one more year. This I'm gonna start screaming free Dom.
Mook
Yeah, bro. Nah, we're done, bro.
DJ Wells
No, bro, don't waste it.
Mook
Don't keep killing.
Teague
Yeah, just average 40.
DJ Wells
I saw what he did in the playoffs last year, bro. Send me help, bro. Free me, bro.
Teague
Nah, bro. They can put some pieces around the East. He can win the east, bro. If they put the right pieces around him, bro. The east is mid, bro.
Mook
You trade n. I don't want Lamelo.
Teague
No.
DJ Wells
Oh, Lamelo not Mitchell. Sami up. No. Yes. Sign me up.
Teague
And I love Melo. I. I don't like Mitchell.
Mook
Be ready to fight him.
DJ Wells
Backcourt average 60.
Mook
No. All bet y' all fried, cuz you need the ball in Donovan Mitchell hand. The only way Lamelo is effective. He got the ball in his hand for sure. Just send Lamelo to the Clippers, bro. Just let him. John Morant. Oh, John Moran. Nah.
DJ Wells
If there's anybody who can figure it out, Skinny Atkinson, yeah, he can.
Mook
But John Morant and Donovan, they both need the ball, too. I ain't like John Morant as a super shooter. Just space.
Teague
He not on everything. He not.
Mook
I don't like that.
DJ Wells
I don't like that at all.
Mook
I only like Derrick White and Drew Holiday.
DJ Wells
All right, man, back in the super chat. If Mook played a decade in the league, do y' all think the crash outs he would've had would be equal, more or less memorable than Jeff's?
Mook
I ain't had no crash out.
Teague
Probably more.
DJ Wells
Take the overbn.
Teague
Probably more.
DJ Wells
All right, who do y' all rank Murray amongst? Pgs better than Fox, Halle Maxi and Trey Fox.
Teague
Halle.
DJ Wells
It's a really good list of guards there.
Mook
I think he upped through all them.
Teague
Hell, yeah.
DJ Wells
I was gonna say, I consider he's the only one who got a ring.
Mook
Who's he better than on that list? Better. Depends what you like in a guard. Like, all this is, like. Gotta have some context with all of it. Like, what kind of player do you like? What kind of player do you need? That's probably better. Yeah. Yeah. Do you need a scoring guard? If that's the case, you want Maxi or Murray? Fox, Trey, Holly. Not a scoring guard.
Teague
And while I'm taking him over everybody more. Yes.
Mook
Over Maxi.
Teague
Yes.
Mook
Damn.
Teague
A healthy Jamal Murray.
Mook
I like him over all of them, except for I like Maxi, bro.
Teague
No, you ain't wrong, bro.
DJ Wells
Like, my only bias with Jamal Murray's situation. I saw the bubble, bro, and then I saw, like. I saw the chip. Like, he dominated in the playoffs and got a ring out of it.
Teague
Give me Jamal. Every time, bro.
Mook
He got the ring out of that group. Yeah, he got the ring, but he. He was.
DJ Wells
There's some killers up there. You can't go wrong with it.
Mook
Definitely killers on that list. All of them is killers.
DJ Wells
She's all NBA players up there for sure. Yeah, well said. All right.
Mook
He up there with him. If he ain't the best, he right there.
DJ Wells
Ain't mad at all. Question about the hall of fame conversation yesterday. Y' all think Barry Bonds deserved to be in the hall of Fame? Absolutely.
Mook
Question is that, bro?
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro. Second best basketball player of Austin.
Mook
I don't care nothing about no stereo. I don't care what he did.
DJ Wells
A lot of people cheated and they get caught, bro.
Mook
Pretty real.
DJ Wells
All right. Yeah, man.
Teague
I'm nothing that on my shirt.
DJ Wells
Morning, folks. What do you get a person that don't for a secret center because they pulled their name shout out to Zelmo Beatty. You fried secret center. Have I ever did secret center?
Teague
Yeah, we do it every year in my family.
DJ Wells
Have you ever got somebody you ain't with and you got to give them a gift?
Teague
Oh, no, no.
DJ Wells
I worked in a place where they gave a dude a six pack of Mountain Dew. I thought it was crazy.
Teague
Damn, that sucks.
Mook
Was he mad?
DJ Wells
Honestly, bro, he just walked off, so.
Mook
I don't think he was too happy.
Teague
Yeah, yeah.
Mook
They gave me something to drink. I gave me. Last year, they gave me a fifth of. Five.
DJ Wells

Mook
Speaking some juice for Christmas is crazy. Like, come on, bro. Leave me alone.

Teague

I don't think he ever averaged damn near 30.
DJ Wells

Yeah, it was real. Oh, I remember he used to cook everybody. He was dope like that.
Teague
He was.
Mook
He was cold. But give me Kate. Yeah, that crossover was deadly.
DJ Wells
He didn't.
Mook
Yeah. Made a lot of people fall off that. He probably literally had one of the best crossovers ever. It was like him and Allen Iverson.
DJ Wells
If you're not familiar, tap in D world highlights. You will see a lot of that double crossover. Got a lot of money with that for sure. Our man back in association last night. The Jazz beat the Mavs and OT yesterday. Be him.
Mook
Shout out to Cooper Flag, though.

I ain't gonna lie, bro. I was hurt, bro. Keonte George is raw.
DJ Wells
Come on, man.
Teague
But I was just glad to see my boy Coop do his thing, man.
DJ Wells
He didn't.
Teague
He didn't got his footing in the NBA, man. I'm glad to see it.
Mook
Keante George is fucking.
DJ Wells
Speaking of Keonte George, man. Shout out to Chon, man. Making money moves player of the day. Listen, count that George, my dog. Hooping out. Third year out of Baylor. He balled out yesterday. 37, 6 and 5. Been averaging 24 and 7 over his last couple games. Man, he has really been killing this. We talked about Isaiah Collie get a lot of minutes last year thinking he might have moved into that starting role, but he doesn't. Yeah, he doesn't turn up over there.
Mook
He locked that in. Yeah. Keonte George is the future of the Utah Jazz as far as the point guard position.
Teague
Yeah.
Mook
Obviously we know they're gonna have a high draft pick this year. And we all banking on them getting AJ because of the. How it's all playing out to us in our head. Yeah, but if they don't get AJ Obviously they still get a nice pick. But I think they need to build around this young dude. Give Lloyd marketing. He's still killing 30 points a game. Whatever he's getting Phillip Kowski, whatever his name is, he's still good, too. But Keontae George, he got star potential. He's a young dude with straight star potential. And it sucks that he's in Utah. And there's nothing wrong with Utah because we just don't get to see him a lot. So you don't get to appreciate his game.
DJ Wells
All league pass.
Mook
Yeah, he all league pass team. But if you watch him, bro, he got all that step back, all that MIA dunk on you. He got everything you want in a player as a young guard. And he got decent size. I'm a fan. For real.
DJ Wells
Come on, man. You're African 24 7.
Mook
Listen, I thought he was Raleigh Baylor.
DJ Wells
Nah, he's a dog, man. Like you said. Laurie Barker had 33 and 16 yesterday. He's still cold. Get him up out of there.
Mook
He gotta go.
DJ Wells
Billipowski, 25 and nah, he bought out yesterday.
Mook
He gonna be good too once he get more minutes. Yeah, he got a nice skill set. Obviously we know he dropped in the draft because of the off course stuff, but I mean they got a steal. Like really Utah is really preparing they roster. They really got a nice young core facts, bro. And people not talking about it a lot. Cause most of their young guys were really highly touted. Like they really haven't missed. Like even Collier and them young boys, they did a good job drafting away.
DJ Wells
Now they got to figure it out. They got how they gonna put it all together and move forward. Like you said, maybe the last few they're looking for is AJ more than pick this year, but they got some talent. Walker, Kessler. They're still gonna probably move on from him. It's not looking like they're gonna resign him, but.
Mook
Hey, man, but he's a young talent.
DJ Wells
That's a fact. And if you do keep him, there's.
Mook
Nothing wrong with it. You still got Ace Bailey over there who's gonna have to figure it out. I mean, forgot about him. God damn it. It's crazy how quick they forget about him.
DJ Wells
Based on me, how many people in the way for him to even.
Mook
Yeah, I mean, Laurie marketing has to move on and see what they got in Ace Bailey. Yeah, but shit, how do you move on from 30 points a game? Yeah, that sounds crazy, bro.
Teague
They got to though, bro. He ready to go.
DJ Wells
They can't turn into the Chicago Bulls.
Teague
He need to go somewhere that's ready to win. That's a development.
Mook
They are the Chicago Bulls of the west right now. But they got more talent though.
DJ Wells
That's a fact.
Teague
Hell yeah.
Mook
Do y' all think Ace Bailey will figure it out or Do y' all think he's a guy who's gonna get caught in that Cam Reddish thing? I remember y' all brought up Cam Reddish. I'm gonna give him some time.
DJ Wells
I think he'll figure it out, bro.
Mook
I'm thinking I'm gonna give him some time.
Teague
He's gonna make it work, bro.
Mook
I usually see flashes or something like, as a rookie. Yeah. But it's like. Cause I remember Cam when I was there, he had 30 points, you know, you usually see flashes or something like. And I'm not saying he got enough time to even do it. I mean, it's still early in the season. Like, something's gonna happen by all start breaking. He's gonna get a chance to flourish or whatever. But I usually watch a game and I usually see something where it's like, yeah. Even when I used to watch Keonte George when he was a rookie, I used to be like, man, he ain't scared of. He get his chance, he gonna be all right now. I didn't expect this. Yeah. So soon. I knew he could be good, but I was just like, he be all right. I just don't really be seeing that from Ace Bailey. I be like, yeah. Even when you seen Paul George as a rookie, we kind of knew, like, you remember when he played D. Rose in them in the playoffs?
Teague
Nah. Yeah.
Mook
We kind of was like, damn.
Teague
Yeah. Grandeur. Had to pass them keys.
Mook
Yeah. You was like, Damn.
Teague
Like, nah, 100%.
Mook
Yeah. And I just haven't had a chance. I mean, he hasn't got. I mean, our origin 10 as a rookie is still good, but you just haven't had a chance to see, like, the star. Like.
DJ Wells
Yeah.

Is it safe? Do we not draft AJ the banster because we know this kid is going.
Teague
To be but you you preached about having big wings in the league now though, like Toronto. So they it might not be bad to pick him up.
DJ Wells
Yeah, we move lower Might not.
Teague
Niggas might not be in the way. That might be where the game going.
Mook
It could be going that way. I'm just saying. I mean, I ain't mad at having two of them. I mean, obviously Danny Ainge know how.
Teague
To work with two.
Mook
Danny Ainge know how to work with two perimeter players that could be stars with wings with Jamie George.
DJ Wells
Come on, man. I'm rolling. I see the future move if you move your bigs, right? Keonte, Georgia.
Mook
1.
DJ Wells
You could put whoever you want to at the two and then have Ace and AJ as your wings with that.
Mook
And Walker Kessler.
Teague
They gonna be okay.
Mook
Might be silly.
DJ Wells
We can figure something out.
Mook
I ain't mad at it.
DJ Wells
Why we still building too.
Mook
But I just need them to get Ace Bailey some more time, man. I need to like, let him cook. Yeah, I need to see what he can do, man.
DJ Wells
Well said. Shout out to Cooper flag. Yesterday he had 42, 7 and 6. The first 18 year old to ever drop 40. Lou, go ahead and drop the Holly.
Mook
I need him to be a 24.
DJ Wells
In the first half. He was getting.
Teague
That's a little hard to do though, bro.
Mook
They completely given Coop the keys.
Teague
Yeah, just do it. They have set it up for this to be yours.
Mook
I know, little bro. Nimhard so damn happy, man.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah. My boy be hooping.
Mook
It's got to be the best feeling that your team just asked so you get a chance to play.
Teague
Hi.
Mook
And then playing good, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he was doing some in this game. That simple. It's just like. That's still elite, bro.
Mook
He's starting to look real comfortable. Real comfortable shot.
Teague
It's only him and LeBron James in this like most in the NBA at that age, like 29, 30. Well, he the highest point now.
DJ Wells
Clear out, bro. I'm going left. Watch out.
Mook
Come on.
Teague
I just love that he can handle the ball, bro.
DJ Wells
That's crazy. Now Jason kid haven't playing PG at the beginning of the years out of.
Teague
Pocket, but you got to figure it out.
Mook
He. Damn. They're playing point right now.
DJ Wells
No, he was asking to set up. He's like, hey, I'm getting your bag.
Mook
He done brought the ball down every play now.
DJ Wells
He had 24 the first half.
Teague
I just don't like that for him for that to be his responsibility.
Mook
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Speaking of Ace Bailey though, he had a crazy highlight yesterday as a rookie though.
Coca-Cola Announcer
First start of the season.
Mook
Oh, my God. My bad. There you go. My. My bad, Ace.
Teague
That's some landing, man.
Mook
I got Kyle Anderson shout out to.
DJ Wells
Slow Mo my dog.
Mook
That is nasty. Like, I need more. They gotta give him more rope, bro.
Teague
Just saying, bro, they probably trying to. They probably trying to get to where you saying, Jeff, you just got. You gotta give them time.
Mook
I ain't got no patience. Cause I can't let him fall, like, through the cracks. Like, I feel like I didn't do justice for Cam Reddish.
Teague
Him and AJ the best end up turning, like, turning down, like Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. You cool with it?
Mook
Oh, I love it.
DJ Wells
Y' all think George.
Teague
If y'.
Mook
All. They got Derrick. If they got Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum and Keonte George, Ace Bailey and AJ Debanson.
Teague
You smooth, right?
Mook
What's the best. The best team? Utah is back, and I'm wearing my Utah hat. But they're not gonna get. They can't get AJ The Benson yesterday.
DJ Wells
About Danny A. I told you, bro, he would flip this.
Teague
I'm just seeing that, like, as like you about the big wings.
Mook
You see it and so do Danny.
DJ Wells
Ain't we all see it. But I'm just saying I need them to give him.
Mook
I need him to have more confidence when AJ Debenza is coming in here. Because now the whole show is AJ Debancer. Like, even Keonta George, he cold. But once he hit town, Everybody, they got A.J. yeah, number one pick. And as a young guy, if I ain't kill, if I ain't have my confidence ain't all the way high. Like, it can get spooky. Like, I remember Jalen JB saying, Jalen Brown saying, when Jason got here, he was number three pick. He started immediately. He had all this love, but, dude, confidence was just through the roof. You know what I mean? So I need him to have his confidence through the roof, like. And it only gets your confidence get high when you have some success. He averaging 10, but I need him to have a couple 30 point games as a rookie and stuff like that.
DJ Wells
Oh, hell, love the highlights look. Yeah, it's kind of hard when you got two people in your team doing like this, boy.
Mook
Yeah, I know. I mean, Lloyd Marcus in the way for sure.
Teague
In a good way.
DJ Wells
They had 70 together.
Mook
Oh, yeah. Like Lori Mark.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I need that pill.
Teague
He's just ready to win, bro. He ain't with that. Go tip, though. You ain't taking from Lloyd bargaining. I'm too proven, bro. Yeah, I'm too proven, bro.
Mook
Marketing like that, it ain't no. Look at Kashan George.
DJ Wells
That's supposed to be.
Teague
Yeah, it's different for Keante George though. We thought it was gonna be KE George ain't battling with nobody for real N he.
DJ Wells
He took that position.
Mook
It was supposed to be Collier, but nah, right?
Teague
But I'm saying like cuz even the.
DJ Wells
Guard from Florida they got this year.
Teague
He had a lot of got to get in where he fit in, bro.
DJ Wells
That's a fact. That's real. Oh yeah. My God. Oh yeah.
Mook
He is filthy.
DJ Wells
Real buckets, bro.
Mook
He filthy, bro. And he filthy too.
DJ Wells
You know what this is? And one call that. Yeah, bro. I can't be mad at ace of 10 when they. When they doing like this.
Teague
PJ Washington want no smoke none. No smoke none league. Yeah.
Mook
They out there hoping. Be ready to go out there to Utah.
Teague
We. We got to be the only show to talk about Utah this much.
DJ Wells
They got killers, bro.
Mook
Baby, Keante George ain't never had his high life. That's a shame, cuz he's killing.
Teague
Yeah man, I'm saying we really break. This is our second year breaking down the Utah dream.
Mook
Cause I'm actually a fan of Utah. Like they even got the young boy over there, Jalen Williams brother. Yeah, he's still over there. Damn. I forgot. I really forgot about him.
DJ Wells
That's somebody who's lost in the rotation. They drafted his lottery.
Mook
Yeah, he's a lottery pick.
DJ Wells
He'd probably be pissed if AJ get picked cause it's gonna get quiet.
Mook
Look at Ace. Ace is already out showing him, bro.
DJ Wells
He did some G leagues. Not that he's not a good player, but should they talking about different over there in Utah.
Mook
Yeah, that's what I mean. You got them. You got like you said, the young kid from Florida just got drafted it.
DJ Wells
Yeah, bro, it's quiet right now for him.
Mook
Yeah, it's a saying. He. Oh, he 20n. He might be too old for the process. God damn, bro.
DJ Wells
They said, bro, we got got a 18 and 19 year old squad, bro. He might be in a way.
Mook
Yeah, he might be Jonathan Isaac.
Teague
Damn. Nah, I hope he get paid like it.
Mook
Work. But I'm just saying he a young player too. He's still trying to find his fitting in the league. Yeah, and he got a lot of upside and potential. So it's like, you know what I mean?
DJ Wells
Well, Kyle Anderson's on that bench, bro. Like going on Utah, man. They got some to figure out, man. Yeah, we'll see, man. Shout out to the Jazz, man. They ain't never got a shot like us. ESPN could never, never. All right, man, the Raptors took care of the Heat. Yesterday 106, 96 BI. Looking like an All Star. This year, 28, 5 and 5. Scotty Barnes at 17, 10, ma' am had 20 and 10 and MPZ had 20. My Raptors feeling, man.
Mook
What's up to the Heat, man? Bro, I don't know.
DJ Wells
Cause the Raptors is hot or the Heat need to figure it out. Heat.
Mook
Raptors is hot, but the heat definitely need to figure it out. They need a trade, bro. They need to just go ahead and go for Ja. Damn near, bro. They gotta just go and do it, man. It's time to move on from Tyler Hero. I ain't. I'm a Tyler Hero fan. It ain't no hate. I swear to God. I'm a Tyler Hero fan. But everybody just need to be that organization just need to shake up. So they might need to move from Pat Riley, like keep the. Keep the standard that he said. But it's time to go, man. Just shake this up. Fresh air, bro.
Teague
Yeah, pat Riley is 80, bro. I promise. You don't like basketball that much.
Mook
Enjoy your life, bro.
Teague
Sorry, bro.
DJ Wells
Clearly he do, bro.
Teague
He's too just saying like how I feel. Like, bro, when bro be talking about the spurs like it ain't no disrespect. Just need some new energy in the building.
Mook
That's what the spurs needed. He liked the cowboy dude.
Teague
No, Jerry Jones needs some air, bro.
DJ Wells
Jerry Jones going on that team from beyond life, bro.
Teague
Get too much air, it might be over, bro. You live a different life than Pat, bro.
Mook
Yeah, Miami for he, LA, New York, LA, Miami. Come on, it's elite.
Teague
Pat the cheated, ain't it? He been in all the best cities.
DJ Wells
Angle Pat Riley and Jerry Jones hookup would be insane.
Mook
Insane, bro.
DJ Wells

Mook
He only coached in fire cities. New York, LA and Miami.
DJ Wells
You understand, bro?
Mook
I only do the best, bro. That's why he said I only do good weather. As I get older, I'm only staying in good weather situations. I was young in New York. I could deal with the cold.

Cuz I feel like when you go to Miami, it's really like. Like the military, bro.
Mook
And that's if you going to Miami, you thinking it's cool, like the vibes is good. No, you're on a boot camp. Yeah. But you can keep that same standard. And Patrick ain't got to be there. Yeah, let's spo run it all, man.
DJ Wells
But.
Mook
Cause SPO gonna keep that energy. Yeah, he gonna keep that energy. But you gotta. Cause they all been there. Go ahead. I hire UD to do whatever he wanna do. He'll make sure the standards stay there. Even though I know he doing the TV thing. But you bring John Moran in, obviously he need some shit around him. Clean through the pulse. But it's like. It can help his career. But y' all need that shakeup. Y' all need that explosive guard again. Like y' all need that D. Wade Paul's feel like. And John Murray. I said Paul.
Teague
No, no, bro. You in your bag, bro.
Mook
Nah, I ain't in my bag. You always fuck up the bag. You always.
DJ Wells
Damn.
Teague
I'm scared of hoes, cuz. My bad. That was a wild one. That was a wild thing, I'm saying.
Mook
But they just need that. That same kind of aura on the court right now. And I think John Morant could bring that same kind of aura.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Teague
Now Miami's actually perfect. I just don't know who else y' all give up. Y' all think that's a straight up trade?
Mook
I think they both trying to. I ain't saying that. Miami want to move on from Tyler Laurel. I'm not in their locker room. I don't know. But obviously.
Teague
Nah. What would you do, though?
DJ Wells
It's too late.
Mook
Yeah.
Teague
Is this a straight up trade or do you need another piece from Miami?
Mook
Nah, straight up trade. I'm not. They're not happy with John Morant in Memphis. He hasn't played. He's hurt. Hurt.
Teague
True.
Mook
He's not happy. Kind of. I don't know. I'm. From what Everybody made it seem like he's not happy in Memphis no more. I mean, he probably loved Memphis, but he's not rocking with the coach.
DJ Wells
Yeah, you could probably get that for straight up. Maybe some. A little bit around a picture or whatever, but you can make that happen. Probably straight up. Solid hero was all star.
Mook
Yeah, like, he averaging 17, 7, 35. We've never seen that Miami, bro.

This energetic morning episode brings together Jeff Teague, DJ Wells, Mook, and Bishop for a lively breakdown of recent NBA and NFL action, deep dives into star players and young talent, hot takes on league trends, and plenty of signature Club 520 banter. The centerpiece discussions feature dramatic NBA games—especially Nuggets vs. Rockets—individual performances (Jokic, Murray, Cade Cunningham, Cooper Flagg, Keonte George), debates about league duos and MVP frontrunners, and some fun back-and-forth with listener questions. As always, expect warmth, humor, and basketball insight.
Full of humor, sharp basketball insight, and that loose locker-room energy, this episode of Club 520 shines in breakdowns of recent NBA thrillers, honest debates about league stars (with Jokic & Murray as headliners), and effusive props for young guns like Keonte George and Cooper Flagg. The hosts’ real-time takes and listener Q&A keep things interactive and unpredictable.
For fans of basketball culture, this episode is a must-listen: by turns hilarious, blunt, and deeply insightful.
