Summary

Podcast Summary: Club Shay Shay – Episode 520: In The Morning - Jeff Teague on Lakers trading D'Lo, Heat-Rockets FIGHT, struggling Celtics

Introduction

In Episode 520 of Club Shay Shay, hosts D.J. Wells, Hendrix, and Game Rating delve deep into the current NBA landscape, focusing on pivotal developments involving the Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, Boston Celtics, and the Los Angeles Lakers. The episode, released on December 30, 2024, provides listeners with insightful discussions on player performances, team dynamics, and potential trades shaping the season.

Heat-Rockets Conflict and Tyler Herro’s Impact

The episode opens with a heated discussion about the recent on-court altercation between the Miami Heat and Houston Rockets. Tyler Herro's standout performance amidst the tension is a focal point.

D.J. Wells [03:23]: "Tyler Herro was killing though. 27 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. Your favorite white boy, man."

The hosts analyze the implications of the fight, emphasizing how such confrontations can spike viewership and ratings.

Game Rating [03:48]: "I don't know what happened though. I don't know what boiled over to make them feel like that."

They discuss potential suspensions and the long-term effects on team chemistry, highlighting Herro's leadership and resilience in turbulent times.

Game Rating [08:12]: "So, yeah, it's like an even swipe. And then Jimmy probably won't opt in in Sacramento."

Struggles Within the Boston Celtics

Transitioning to the Boston Celtics, the hosts express concerns over the team's inconsistent performance and injury woes. The absence of key players like Derrick White and Jrue Holiday has left the team vulnerable.

Game Rating [21:31]: "But I think it is. I mean, I think they're really still a really good team. Jrue's been out in and out of the lineup the last couple of games."

Discussions revolve around the Celtics' reliance on star players and the difficulty in maintaining momentum amidst a lack of depth.

Game Rating [44:33]: "He's the difference for us. Like he's sixth man of the year."

Potential Trades: De'Aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to speculating on potential trades involving De'Aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler. The conversation suggests that the Celtics might consider trading Fox to alleviate team pressure and restructure their roster.

D.J. Wells [07:08]: "You think they need to, you know, figure out what they're going to do with Jimmy first before they can have any real expectations for the rest of the season?"

Game Rating [08:21]: "And really just start over."

The hosts propose various trade scenarios, including exchanging Fox for players like De'Aaron Fox and Bam Adebayo with other franchises such as the Sacramento Kings.

Game Rating [49:17]: "Cause he got one more year on his deal before he could be an unrestricted free agent."

Lakers Trading D'Lo: Strategic Moves

While not extensively detailed, there is a mention of the Lakers potentially trading D'Lo (likely referring to D'Angelo Russell or Desmond Bane). The discussion hints at strategic roster adjustments to enhance team performance.

D.J. Wells [51:33]: "But it gets wicked."

Rockets' Performance and Jalen Green’s Development

The Houston Rockets' season is under scrutiny, particularly focusing on Jalen Green's development and his role in the team's prospects.

Game Rating [10:54]: "I think Jalen Green gotta solidify himself as a star. I think he just right now a really good young player."

The hosts emphasize the importance of Green increasing his scoring average to elevate his status and contribute significantly to the Rockets' success.

Game Rating [10:13]: "He has the capability to do that. I see him in a row of, like, Jaylen Brown and all those guys."

All-Star Considerations: Tyler Herro and Cade Cunningham

A lively debate ensues regarding the All-Star potential of Tyler Herro and Cade Cunningham. The hosts weigh their performances, team contributions, and overall impact on their respective teams.

Game Rating [23:12]: "Is Tyler Herro an all star this year? Is it him or Cade Cunningham? One of them gotta go in the guard position."

Hendrix [24:02]: "I give it to Cade, I'm gonna."

The conversation highlights the differing strengths of both players and their importance to their teams, suggesting a possible All-Star nod for both.

Los Angeles Lakers and D'Lo’s Future with the Team

The Lakers' strategic decisions regarding D'Lo are briefly touched upon, indicating possible restructuring to complement star players like LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

D.J. Wells [53:39]: "You know, quite on your outfit. He did a decent year last year, shot the ball well, but he's one of those guys that need the ball in his hand, be able to create."

Conclusion and Future Outlook

As the episode wraps up, the hosts reflect on the current state of the NBA and anticipate future developments. They stress the importance of team cohesion, player development, and strategic trades in determining the success of the remaining season.

D.J. Wells [58:38]: "Listen, another giveaway soon. Indianapolis Colts. Shout out to the trenches, man, but y'all losing to the Giants yesterday."

The episode concludes with a nod to upcoming games and the continuous evolution of team strategies, leaving listeners eagerly awaiting the next episode.

Good morning. Happy Monday. It's 5:20 in the morning. Your favorite sports show. Here to keep you up to date everything in the sports world, especially basketball. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells, joined this morning by my two brothers. To my left, my brother Hendrix, to my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing?

[Hendrix]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's happening, Cooler, man, What's up?

[Game Rating]

My bad. Yeah, we a little early. I got something to do for sure, man.

[D.J. Wells]

My boy had the gospel music on, you know. It's a glorious Monday. My boy started off with the gospel music.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, somebody highlights.

[Game Rating]

I had to get the gospel before I seen Tyler Hero highlight.

[D.J. Wells]

I was going to say, boy, we some type of piece of music, boy, that was going crazy in the NBA yesterday. Get straight to it, man. He got the Rockets yesterday, 104 to 100. The score does not matter because what really happened was they was out there squabbling yesterday. It's been a lot of tension in the NBA and yesterday did not let us down at all, man. Tyler Hero was killing though. 27, 9 and 6. Your favorite white boy, man.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, you know, I mean, a man got him together though. Or is that a sewer? Which one of them wasn't?

[Game Rating]

I don't know which one with the Rockets.

[Hendrix]

One of the twins, you know what I mean? He flung my boy, you know what I mean, like a rag.

[D.J. Wells]

Now, let's get straight to it, man. Confrontation in the NBA is the best. Talking about the ratings are down. This is how you get them back up. Pause. This is crazy.

[Hendrix]

A little strong.

[Game Rating]

Bro.

[D.J. Wells]

They memed that up with the Street Fighter. Sweet throat, bro. I was crying, man.

[Hendrix]

He's strong as hell, Terry. Roger was on that, though.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah. Shout out to young Chomp Chomp. He with the shit setting up for his mans. But that we can talk about the game. But that's crazy though.

[Hendrix]

Yeah. I mean, shit is a part of it. You getting somebody faces.

[Game Rating]

I don't know what happened though. I don't know what boiled over to make them feel like that. But Tyler Hero said, when you busting somebody ass, that's how he feel. Remind me of Eddie House.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, but we remember more of the headband smack that we do. The winning of performance.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, we ain't gonna never forget this Tyler now.

[D.J. Wells]

Never.

[Game Rating]

In the way he was running around afterwards, like, yeah, hold me back, hold me back. Yeah. He felt how strong Buddy was, bro. He like, he fooled this young boy.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, Tyler hero ain't ain't little either, bro. No to a sore said, well, lte something else, boy. That weight room different.

[D.J. Wells]

They put that. They put that in the pamphlet.

[Game Rating]

Bro. Yeah, he probably gonna get a nice find in a suspension.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, you got to.

[D.J. Wells]

The crazy thing about it is it was a two hand grass of his jersey for him to like judo throw him that quick, bro. Was hilarious.

[Hendrix]

Soon as soon as Tyler touched him, it was up. He was no talking, it was no nothing. He. He flexed old boy on the second. I mean, San Antonio spurs. Like that too, though.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, I was done.

[Hendrix]

Not like he didn't throw him across the floor, but he got him out the way pretty easy.

[D.J. Wells]

And the whole conversation part was funny because I was here was like, I didn't say nothing to him, bro. Something was said because he felt the way.

[Hendrix]

Now you said something or maybe you just got into his face too close and he was already.

[Game Rating]

If you watch the video that he not even he talking about a play, like screen getting open. He kind of like use his body by like trying to get into him to get open. He kind of grabbing me and it was over after that.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he got him open already.

[Game Rating]

It's kind of funny though.

[Hendrix]

But that be security in somebody club, boy.

[D.J. Wells]

God, I love it, cuz. Ver back to a Twitter, he was just like, hey, what's his fine, I'm paying it. It's like, that's my favorite young boy.

[Hendrix]

The niggas out of pocket. See, Twitter fried. Twitter told Ver N you still owe child support.

[D.J. Wells]

See, that's crazy. See, that's crazy.

[Game Rating]

Y got to stay off Twitter, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

They miss it. I was dying too, because they clipped up the plies, the colored money when he got thrown off stage, bro, man, anytime something crazy happened in the NBA, the memes is on deck, bro. It was hilarious, man. But all in all, listen, man, good come back away for the Heat. The game was really good yesterday and I can see why the Rockets are frustrated. They had a terrible, terrible fourth quarter yesterday. They had. They had an eight minutes stretcher. They knew a damn thing. That's the reason why they lost this game. Let them back in there for sure. Dylan Brooks was hooking yesterday. 22 or 4. Um, so was killing 18. 18 and 6. Um, your favorite white boy been killing, man. One of the most consistent players for the Heat so far. You think they got a chance to make some noise in the East?

[Hendrix]

Yeah, I mean, it's the east, so they do. They Do. I mean, they ain't not championship bound or nothing, but they're a solid team for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

You need. You think they need to, you know, figure out what they're going to do with Jimmy first before they can have any real expectations for the rest of the season?

[Hendrix]

I mean, that's probably already written, bro. We just. It just ain't broke yet.

[D.J. Wells]

You think so, T? You think. You know what I'm saying? They had a couple of DNPs that necessary tour illness, but, you know, I think competition reconditioning is a hell of a dmp.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. I think Jimmy Khan probably checked out. Probably. I mean, playing with him, being on his teammate in Minnesota, when he say he want out, he out.

[D.J. Wells]

Straight up.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, it's over with. So they probably need to trade him. I mean, I hear a lot of people talking about De'Aaron Fox not being happy, him and Bam being really good friends. Miami, Sacramento. Sacramento can just throw the whatever out now. They didn't fire the coach or whatever so they can get rid of De'Aaron Fox. Not get rid, but like, let him and Jimmy both go and move on and be an easy swap.

[D.J. Wells]

That's kind of crazy. I would hate to send Jimmy to the Kings, man. He deserves better than that, bro.

[Game Rating]

But you gotta think they both gonna be unrestricted free agents after next year.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Game Rating]

So, yeah, it's like an even swipe. And then Jimmy probably won't opt in in Sacramento. So they'd be able to get everything off the books.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Game Rating]

And really just start over.

[D.J. Wells]

Clean sweep with the situation. That's interesting you say that, because I know they were talking about it with the Clippers rebuild situation. They were just like, yeah, we could have traded Paul George, but by letting him walk, you freed up so much money to have all the rotation players that they have today and to keep James Harden.

[Game Rating]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

And so far it's look fruitful, for sure. Another thing about this game, too. Apparently, like Mark Davis as a ref pisses a lot of people off because Forever, he got injected yesterday. He bumped into him. Yeah. It looked incidental. I don't know if the history side of Forever Fleet didn't help in the situation, but a lot of people just like this game got escalated like that because Mark Davis would be on bullshit.

[Hendrix]

That's what it is, though.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. They said a lot of things should.

[Hendrix]

Have been called before, but I'm saying they gonna start treating him like Draymond. She Wallace, run our test. Cause you done put that missile on your back. Pause. But they looking for you to Climb so they can get you up out of there, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. And I remember you said that when he caught up, when he went crazy on homeboy beforehand, he was just like, yeah, he's not gonna get the benefit of the doubt.

[Game Rating]

I told you. The rest of the year, rest of his career, the refs gang together. They a gang. I mean, like the NBA players, they all got their own league, basically, inside the league. We all root for each other. We all want the best for each other. The refs the same way. So if you mess with one of the refs, they like Tim Donahue. He told y'all, hey, y'all fuck with them refs, we gonna get you back. So it don't matter. He no benefits of the call, none of that. The refs gonna go. They gonna hold each other down. So it's gonna be a rough, rough, rough, rough future for Van Fleet.

[D.J. Wells]

Damn, man. That's crazy. Get well soon, man. For the Rockets to do a little bit more, who you think needs to take that next step? Jalen Green sunken or Van Fleet?

[Hendrix]

Sungin's doing what he can, bro. I mean, he a killer. Jalen Green, I guess he getting better every year, so probably it's Jalen Green, but it ain't really no knock to his game. They still. He's still young, bro. So they. They catch, they stride. I think as much as I hate on them, they. They're a decent team for sure. They can keep their core together.

[Game Rating]

Jalen Green gotta solidify himself as a star. I think he just right now a really good young player. He can play, he can score, but he gotta solidify himself as a star. And that's gonna be averaging like 25 to 26 points a game. If that's the guy he gonna be, if he's gonna be the star for that team, he has to, like, up his scoring to 25, 26 points a game, and he has the capability to do that. I see him in a row of, like, Jaylen Brown and all those guys. Athletic wing, try to play both ends, but he gonna have to be more of an efficient scorer for them to get over that hump. Right now, they're just a really good young team with some guys that's capable, but for them to get over that hump, he's gonna have to be the.

[D.J. Wells]

Guy guy for sure, man. You know, he get a lot of comparisons with the draft situation with Cade Cunningham. It's all right. Now. Cade is coming to his home to solidify himself as a leader of a team, and he don't got nearly as much the same talent as you. Cause if you put Cade Cunningham on that Rockets team, it might be a different conversation. Even though the Rockets are doing well this year, no knock to them. Obviously they doing their thing, but yeah, he gotta solidify himself at the start as well. I wonder what the suspensions are gonna be like. We had six people tossing this game. Najee Marshall got four games for defending himself against Nurt. So I wonder what these rules is going to be.

[Game Rating]

Oh yeah, the twin, he definitely going to get a nice suspension. But it's the guys that run off. If anybody ran on the court from the benches, they gonna definitely get one game. It's automatic. Yeah, Terry Rogieri, but I think Terry Rogier was in the game. Yeah, I think he was taking the ball out. So I'm interested to see looks like.

[Hendrix]

That n ran four.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, I'm gonna really see what they.

[D.J. Wells]

He pulled up shout out to Terry. He held his teammate down.

[Hendrix]

That makes sense.

[Game Rating]

I hope he don't get a suspension for that though.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah, cuz he. I mean he. He broke it up a little bit. I mean they incited a little bit, but still supposed to slo your teammate. But that with nursing was hilarious, bro. I don't know what it is like, I wonder if he rubs people the wrong way cuz consistently people are trying to swing on him, bro.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, he talking about.

[Hendrix]

Say that he got to be talking, bro. Just don't like him. Just cuz he talk a lot.

[Game Rating]

He talk a bunch of matter of fact.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Game Rating]

Ain't nothing wrong with it. I mean, I hear you're a good guy. People like his, teammates like him. But off the court, he talk. He talk a bunch of. I ain't going to lie.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Cuz after. You know what I'm saying? Him and Naj got into it. And it's funny because if you zoom in in that video, Kyrie face the whole time while they getting into it is hilarious, bro. But they was like, damn, Draymond really wasn't out of pocket. But Draymond swing on him is still one of the funniest videos, bro.

[Hendrix]

He hit him. He hit him too hard, bro. They were supposed to really like square up for that, bro. It ain't basketball no more, man.

[D.J. Wells]

You know.

[Game Rating]

You know, I was thinking about the sun since we talking about Nurkic, you know, ever since they traded DeAndre Ayton and we gonna talk about him later, they been. They ain't been good like. They ain't been good like everybody hated deandre ayton out there or whatever, it was a problem. But he was killing.

[Hendrix]

He was, bro.

[Game Rating]

He was killing. And they was good. And like, ever since they let him go, they ain't been the same.

[D.J. Wells]

You know, it's crazy. You talk about that finals run that they had. I mean, crazy. Chris Paul definitely deserved a lot of praise for that as well as Devin Booker. But he was killing.

[Game Rating]

He was killing.

[D.J. Wells]

He was killing until he just stopped getting the ball in the second half of the finals.

[Hendrix]

Niggas just don't care. Cause he not really killing where he at now.

[Game Rating]

I mean, but they need a big. And it's crazy. He liked the big that fit them. Like can guard, can make a 15 footer get rebounds.

[Hendrix]

The timing was just bad on that too. He still want his chicken too, so.

[D.J. Wells]

And that's another Monte Williams situation. We don't see two situations. We've seen Monty Williams piss off some young talent and everybody kind of took it as face value and then he moved on. Everybody like, well, maybe they could play.

[Hendrix]

Cause where did he go? Arizona.

[Game Rating]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Yep.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, he. He was for sure prom. I mean, he still is. You know what I mean? Shout out to DeAndre. But hey, I need my paper, bro.

[Game Rating]

He had got paid.

[Hendrix]

That's what I'm saying. You can't pay all five of them.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, and. And that's a great transition. You said. Cause I'm happy. He did not come to Indianapolis. Boy. It was almost done. And I'm so happy that it did not happen.

[Hendrix]

Why?

[D.J. Wells]

Because we don't need him getting some holiday shopping done this weekend. Pick up some touchdowns. They're on sale at DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sportsbook partner of the NFL.

[John Midkoff]

This is John Middelkoff from three and out with John Middelkoff. Picture this. You're in the garage, your favorite room in the house, and you're tuning up your engine with parts you found on ebay. Every piece is just locking perfectly into place. You step back to admire your work, hands covered in grease. And because you're committed to driving that thing further than the odometer can even handle, you start thinking to yourself, you know what? I could probably use some new brakes, some shocks and struts. This baby deserves a new air filter. So you head right back to ebay. You can find any part you need. It's unreal. From wipers and headlights to cold air intakes, exhaust systems, and even that turbo you've had on your mind. Ebay is that stock garage of your dreams and you've got ebay guaranteed fit. Because eBay knows DIY fixes can be major and mods are also intense. So you need to know those parts are guaranteed to fit every time before you dive in. Wrench first and in the off chance you order a part and it doesn't fit, send it back. Simple as that you know what you love more than the car itself is driving it. You're serious when it comes to engine maintenance and locked in when you're headed into a build. And that's exactly why you start with ebay. Minor fix or complete overhaul? You want to get your ride back on the road, and you've got ebay guaranteed fit. So ebay created my garage, where all you had to do is add your ride's info to get exact parts that fit. When you see that green check, you're a click away from that part, clicking perfectly into place. So now that you know all that, imagine standing at that open garage door, looking at the car you love more than anything, knowing that anything is possible, whether it's keeping it on the road forever or turning it into something that's never been on the road before. Because with ebay, your garage just got a whole lot bigger. Get all the parts you need at prices you'll love. Guaranteed to fit every time.

[D.J. Wells]

It's been dark out here, man. I need some light, man. We got a nice quality wig yesterday in the garden, you know what I'm saying? JB had 3164 after he torched us the other night for tired his career high crazy.

[Hendrix]

Jason Tatum need more shots.

[D.J. Wells]

2290. He need more shots. Yeah.

[Hendrix]

I keep telling y'all, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

I mean, I don't know if he need more shots. I mean they as a team. Payton, Pritchard and murdering yesterday. They.

[Hendrix]

Us losing to the Patriots is just. It's not cool.

[D.J. Wells]

Us. Oh, wow.

[Hendrix]

Anytime, anytime. Jason Tatum don't get the shots he deserve. It's us.

[D.J. Wells]

It's us. Okay. Respect. Celtics lost four their last six. Do you have any concerns with that? They still good? They just dealing with it.

[Game Rating]

I mean, you have up and down seasons. I mean, moments in the season. Guys that's not really playing well right now. Like Hauser, who was shooting the ball great last year. Not shooting the ball is good. They don't have a consistent rotation with, you know, Porzingis being in and out of the lineup. Al's a year older. I think it's still a really good group, but I don't know. They look like they could be beat. They don't look as dominant as they once did.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Game Rating]

But I think it is. I mean, I think they're really still a really good team. Jrue's been out in and out of the lineup the last couple of games. So.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Now let me be fair. Drew Hollard did not play yesterday. Um, I'm sure that would definitely make a difference for sure.

[Hendrix]

That's why I won, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Uh huh.

[Hendrix]

That's why I won, bro. It's cool.

[D.J. Wells]

I don't care who played. We won. I take my dubs however I can get them. I don't care.

[Hendrix]

Okay.

[Game Rating]

That's my biggest fear about the Celtics though. They won. Injury away. They have so much talent, but it's like who gets hurt? Like if Drew is out, they're a different team. And I don't know if I trust it. Like Derrick White is good, but if Derrick White is out, I think he's replaceable. I just don't think jrue is just cause he plays off the ball so well. Derrick White is more of a scorer than Drew. Right. And I think Peyton Pritchard is more of a scorer than Drew. What Drew bring to the table is that Swiss army knife. He do a little bit of everything. He rebound guard and he can score. Derrick White very similar, but they do it differently. And I just think jrue is more important. But hell, I don't know.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I still feel like they full strength and no disrespect to the Cavs, they're having a phenomenal season. I feel like at full strength, the Celtics are still the best team in the NBA. I don't think nobody won't smoke with them. Everybody's available for sure. But you got to show respect to the Cavs. They kill it right now. Quality win for us yesterday. I was real questionable about that situation after we just got smacked. These were counted for losses. We played some really, really good teams last week and just going straight to going forward. But shout out to Tyrese Hellerberg. Man, we bounced back. We are slowly looking like the team that we were last year. Love that for us.

[Game Rating]

Where y'all in the east?

[D.J. Wells]

We. We at eight right now. You know what I'm saying? We got. We got some ways to go. I think we 15 and 17 right now. 16, 17.

[Game Rating]

16, 17. Excuse me.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, we at eight right now. We know in the ECU a three game win streak away from being damn near home court advantage.

[Game Rating]

Is Tyler Herro an all star this year? Is it him or Cade Cunningham? One of them gotta go in the guard position.

[Hendrix]

I give it to Cade, I'm gonna.

[Game Rating]

Give it to Tyler Herro. They seventh in the east.

[D.J. Wells]

Let's go back to the position of east. I mean 24, 5 and 5 is not nothing to slide at. He's fucking murdering. But what's the settings again?

[Hendrix]

I'm sorry, I can't keep up with my boy.

[D.J. Wells]

Are the Detroit Pistons in the playing playoffs? That 10 okay, Cade? I don't know man.

[Game Rating]

The records ain't too far off but I think salary Herro having a career year. I think Cade Cunningham is too has been a great.

[Hendrix]

But K stats might be better.

[Game Rating]

They are.

[D.J. Wells]

But he also played with two other max players either damn near. So I get it.

[Hendrix]

Yeah.

[Game Rating]

I mean somebody got scored. That's what people used to tell me.

[Hendrix]

When you traumatized by that.

[Game Rating]

When you suck. Somebody gotta score the ball. And I Think K. Cunningham is a terrific player. I think he'd be good on anybody team. I think he'd be a star on anybody team. But he just happened to be on the Detroit Pistons right now who I think is a quality team. I don't think they're bad at all. No, they've always show love to him.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, 24, 10 is 7. Yeah. I'll start. Yeah. Sorry Tyler. They matched their win season last year already. Yeah.

[Game Rating]

Oh, facts. They having a great year for Detroit.

[D.J. Wells]

But he might get the nod over Tyler Hero if it's between them two, bro.

[Hendrix]

And y'all know how I arrive for th bro.

[Game Rating]

I think. I think King's more deserving because of what he brings to that team.

[Hendrix]

Like he's more important.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, he's more important to that. I don't know though. Cause Tyler Hero the only one hooping for it. But Miami, he right if you start.

[D.J. Wells]

J Knock and no disrespect, if you start J. Knight at that point guard.

[Hendrix]

Position for that Piston, replace Keely and Hayes.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Hendrix]

What are your pistons look like lottery?

[Game Rating]

Nah, I'm saying like who hooping for the Heat though, who you take out?

[D.J. Wells]

I mean you still got Bam.

[Game Rating]

I mean but what's the origin Bam. Every like 15 probably, I think.

[D.J. Wells]

But Bam's still out. NBA tight.

[Game Rating]

Clear.

[D.J. Wells]

I mean, I know maybe he's definitely capable. Yeah. 16, 10 and 5. That's. That's solid. Especially as a big.

[Game Rating]

That's good. But take 24 points out. You missing Jimmy Butler.

[Hendrix]

Take 27 and 10 out.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh yeah, take that out.

[Game Rating]

You having a rough year too.

[D.J. Wells]

He gave the Detroit Pistons fan base hope.

[Game Rating]

I'm not. Listen, I'm not mad at either one. But I'm just saying the Heat, man, they missing Jimmy this whole year and still to be seventh in the east. That's a lot to do with Salah Hero.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah, for sure. I mean. And it's funny cause I mean.

[Hendrix]

Oh yeah, yeah, I know. That's my guy.

[D.J. Wells]

We overreact here. But two weeks ago we was talking about this team should probably blow it up. So. Of course, yeah. You gotta show respect for Tyler Hero. He's fucking Ballin right now.

[Game Rating]

He's keeping him afloat right now.

[D.J. Wells]

But if it goes between the two, they just gonna show the clip of him getting tossed and be like, nah, we gonna take Cade. Cade would never.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. Oh God, he wouldn't.

[D.J. Wells]

But yeah, it get wicked.

[Game Rating]

I just. I just like to show the appreciation of him keeping him afloat for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Man. Shout out to the Indiana Packs. Who took care of business, man? Got a win in Boston yesterday. A lot of people can't say that. And we gonna talk about some more later.

[Game Rating]

They lost four. They lost six, right?

[D.J. Wells]

I don't care. We're back on track.

[Hendrix]

So who's other teams we lost to?

[D.J. Wells]

The Thunder. They don't. They on the can't win stress. That was hate too, by the way. That was hate. I thought he was gonna be paters fit next year, bro. We. I try to put word but I.

[Game Rating]

Play for Boston too.

[D.J. Wells]

Respect.

[Hendrix]

So he had more fun.

[Game Rating]

Meo literally was my favorite year playing basketball. But for some reason I just. I don't know why I don't associate myself with being a face.

[D.J. Wells]

We gonna get to the bottom of that next year. T Wolves got the close one. That was spurs yesterday. 112, 110. Hey, man, when B be hooping? 34, 8, man. Crazy.

[Hendrix]

They just sad, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Harris bars 24, 5. Mr. Randomly get to 20. Dante DiVincenzo played a lot better than he has been playing. 26, 7 and 4. And then Ant yesterday had a slow night. 14 and 8, man. After having a great year last year, what do you think the T Wolves will do to get even Shinzo back comfortable with this situation?

[Hendrix]

You gotta keep hooping, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay. It's on him.

[Hendrix]

I think he gotta find his own way. Yeah, they grown. He gotta find his own way. It ain't like one of the rookies or something, bro. You a vet, bro. Figure out a way to mess with your team. They still gotta make him feel comfortable. I don't know what that locker room looking like, but it's majority on him though, bro. Find your way.

[Game Rating]

Nah, it's just difficult going being a starter to going back to the bench and having that same kind of camaraderie you had with guys you played college basketball with. Y'all friends? Best friends. Now you go to a situation, you coming off the bench, you don't know none of these dudes. You know it's gonna take some time to adjust. I mean, that's a starting point right there. 26 off the bench or whatever he did. He might have started. I don't know. I ain't watched that game. That wasn't one of my favorites to watch last night. But he just gotta get comfortable like he said. But it's gonna take more time than this. I just don't think the T Wolves is a really good team.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I think that this year they've definitely taken a step back. I know we've all talked about the trading stuff, but, man, don't leave while you hot. That kind of set them back this year. But do you think it'd be any major changes in the offseason if things keep going the way they are being this off season?

[Hendrix]

I mean, it could, but they might give it another year to work out. Nobody really cares about Minnesota. We're just keeping it real. Ant is just, you know, a star.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Polaroid is a figure.

[Hendrix]

Yeah. And Rudy is fucking Rudy. But no, nobody really cares. Like, there's not a franchise that they're really too much worried about.

[Game Rating]

See, the thing is they have to like they have. They're in a situation where they gotta. Like they just drafted Rob Dillingham with what, the eighth, ninth pick or something like that. A young guard. They still got Mike there to help, you know, room him for that starting position one day. The difference is this team's not that good. So you might have to tap into your young talent a little earlier to see what you got.

[D.J. Wells]

Yep.

[Game Rating]

Right. They got some capable players that could be up for trade. Randall is a capable player. He's good. I don't think he fits with Ant. I mean, they had great moments, you know, the Christmas Day game. Ant went crazy. They had a good moment. Yeah. But to build around that, you don't want that long term Ant. No. You just extended Rudy, so he gonna be there for a while. And Mike is damn near 40. So it's time to give, you know, give some other people a look. And it's probably be sooner than later. I mean, I don't think this team's gonna go anywhere in the playoffs. If they do, I think they'll be a playing team.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. I was gonna say, at least by all star break, we should see more of Rob Dillingham and Terry Shane Jr. Like, we need to see what the young talent can do for sure. Because you got these rotational pieces that while some are proven, it ain't working right now. And you gotta see what you got going for next year. And also like you said, small market team. You better keep Ant happy.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. And I think you gotta keep Ant happy. Like, you might as well ride it out like Nas Reid, see if Nas Reed can play the four.

[Hendrix]

Yeah.

[Game Rating]

You know what I mean. I like Julius Randle, but let's see if we can do something with Nas Reid. Save a lot more money. He's already on a team friendly contract. Then you got Nikhil Alexander Walker, who's a capable player, but you got Dante Divincensu. Both of them are Good trade pieces. Their contracts are not too crazy and both can help.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, Nas, nas. Fish the Timberwolves better than Julius Rundle, for sure.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. Facts.

[D.J. Wells]

But you gotta premiere him. Cause you know what you gotta do, you gotta be able to either move on from him or keep him as an asset. For sure. Em has been very, you know what I'm saying, Public about how he feels recently. Boy, racking up these fines, man. Going crazy in these post game interviews, cussing. They said, should he toned it down or should he just keep being himself?

[Hendrix]

Adidas probably paying for it. It's fine.

[D.J. Wells]

Can't be paying that through turn up.

[Game Rating]

Nah, you gotta kinda tone it down a little bit. Cause you know, like when you catching a vibe and you the one people, they look for you to come down. They want to tear you down. Everybody. When you get to the top, it's only one way to go and that's down. So they're gonna look for every bit of thing to try to, you know, tear him down a little bit. So just keep playing it cool. I mean, we get it. That's what we loved him for last year. Him being rawling the interviews, turning it up, joking. Just, you know, come off a little different. Kind of how we gotta do in the morning show, we be wilding at night, then we come in here. We gotta try to tone it down a little bit. But just tone it down. Cause the kids is watching.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to the kids. I wonder what the podcast find is. Who? The commissioner of the podcast game.

[Hendrix]

Oh, Lord.

[Game Rating]

Joe Budden.

[D.J. Wells]

Joe.

[Game Rating]

But you know who do interviews really well, like after the game? Cole Anthony. His after the game interviews be lit, bro. I think he hit the game winner yesterday.

[Hendrix]

He did.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. His after the game interview was funny as hell.

[Hendrix]

And he shot bad too.

[Game Rating]

Yeah.

[Hendrix]

So for him to have that confidence still at the end of the game.

[D.J. Wells]

It was fire, but like the play.

[Game Rating]

Being written up for somebody else. And he was like, yeah. And then I just took the ball, I went to go kill.

[Hendrix]

Oh, it wasn't his point.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah, that was. That was a solid game yesterday. Magic got the nets 102. They came back down from 21. Listen, man, we talked about. I don't know if he'll get it, but coach Mose, bro, he gotta get some coachee consideration, bro. They are winning games, bro, no matter what the situation is. Like you said, Cole Anthony had a situation where he wasn't in the rotation, waited his turn, got back to it. And that game winner just said, hilarious. He's like, dude, the play was not drawn off for me, but I made that happen.

[Hendrix]

I was watching it. But he wasn't shooting the ball well. And that's not why I cut it off. But I just didn't think. I didn't know.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, yeah. Floating for game is hilarious.

[Game Rating]

Yeah.

[Hendrix]

He kept not for me shout out to Cole.

[D.J. Wells]

That's fine.

[Hendrix]

I with that. Yeah, that's a different type of confidence. And he's just a cool dude though.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, he's super cool, super personal.

[Hendrix]

So he probably keep that locker room lit, you know what I'm saying?

[Game Rating]

You can tell how happy everybody be for him when he have his moments. Hell, he like a cool dude. That's what I like. I love them kind of people like, damn, everybody be hyped when he have his games, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

If I wasn't a Patriots fan, I would definitely be all in on Orlando Magic, bro. I like the. I like the culture they got built. I like the way that they play basketball. It don't matter who's on the court. Everybody play hard. They seem to be selfish, like you said. They celebrate for each other like that. Especially a young group like that. Celebrate for everybody to get paid. Now they're just like, let's go hoop. And you gotta applaud that, bro.

[Hendrix]

It's good he kept his mental strong though.

[D.J. Wells]

Cause I'm sure his dad get wicked.

[Hendrix]

His dad probably too kept him helping to stay grounded too. Cause that's a. That's a lot. That's an up and down wave.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. Just think about it, like every year they drafted a guard.

[Hendrix]

Yeah.

[Game Rating]

Jalen Suggs came before, after you got there. And then what's that? Anthony Black and like, for him not to even have no kind of hate or nothing. Be like championing them dudes. Like when Jalen Suggs got paid, he was hyped for him. Yeah, he a different kind of cat. Cause I ain't gonna lie. I would've been.

[Hendrix]

That's real, bro.

[Game Rating]

I would've been like, yo, y'all gotta trade me though. Like, you know what I mean? We got three point guards.

[D.J. Wells]

And then last year they had Markel too. People forget that.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, you just max somebody out.

[Hendrix]

Like, nah, Markel was playing last year.

[D.J. Wells]

And was playing solid too. I'm surprised you know his situation. Hopefully he gets on the roster this year.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, it's very shocking that he's not on the roster, but that's how the NBA work, man.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure, man. Yeah, that was a crazy game yesterday. OKC took care of the Greaves yesterday. 131:06 and I ran off 11 straight in a row, man. SGA is looking like the MVP. 35, 7, 6. He's overdue, man. He's overdue. They cheated him last year. He Gotta get the MVP this year, bro.

[Hendrix]

Them Boyz is different.

[D.J. Wells]

11 in a row is tough, man.

[Hendrix]

Boyz is different, man. That's all I got to say, man.

[D.J. Wells]

31, 5 and 6, man. Yeah, yeah. MVP. That should have got last year, but he damn sure better get it this year.

[Hendrix]

Especially if they keep it going though. They keep. Anything can happen after all Star break.

[D.J. Wells]

So most definitely. Let's go to the standings in the west. If you don't mind, please.

[Hendrix]

They gotta keep that motion going though, for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Come on, bro. They got a six game win streak. I mean six games like above second place in the West. You got the Grizzlies at 22 and 11.

[Hendrix]

Nah, I'm saying we just still under 40 games in the NBA, you know what I'm saying? So hopefully everybody can stay healthy and they can keep the train rolling for sure.

[Game Rating]

Now what he doing with his number two being out? I don't know if he two or three. Jalen Williams can be two. I don't know him and check in, go back and forth I guess. But for him being out and see what they doing with him out is crazy. I mean that coach over there, he could be candidate for coach of the year again.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. Cause what he's doing with that team is amazing. And having one of your better players out for most of the year and then for SGA to be doing what he's doing, y'all right. He might need to be in the talks for the top of the MVP ladder.

[Hendrix]

For sure, bro.

[John Midkoff]

This is John Middelkoff from three and out with John Middelkoff. Picture this. You're in the garage, your favorite room in the house, and you're tuning up your engine with parts you found on ebay. Every piece is just locking perfectly into place. You step back to admire your work, hands covered in grease, and because you're committed to driving that thing further than the odometer can even handle, you start thinking to yourself, you know what? I could probably use some new brakes, some shocks and struts. This baby deserves a new air filter. So you head right back to ebay. You can find any part you need. It's unreal. From wipers and headlights to cold air intakes, exhaust systems, and even that turbo you've had on your mind. Ebay is that stock garage of your dreams. And you've got ebay guaranteed fit. Because eBay knows DIY fixes can be major and mods are also intense. So you need to know those parts are guaranteed to fit every time before you dive in. Wrench first, and in the off chance you order a part and it doesn't fit, send it back. Simple as that. You know what you love more than the car itself is driving it. You're serious when it comes to engine maintenance and locked in when you're headed into a build. And that's exactly why you start with ebay. Minor fix or complete overhaul. You want to get your ride back on the road and you've got ebay guaranteed fit. So ebay created my garage where all you had to do is add your ride's info to get exact parts that fit. When you see that green check, you're a click away from that part, clicking perfectly into place. So now that you know all that, imagine standing at that open garage door looking at the car you love more than anything, knowing that anything is possible, whether it's keeping it on the road forever or turning it into something that's never been on the road before. Because with ebay, your garage just got a whole lot bigger. Get all the parts you need at prices you'll love. Guaranteed to fit every time. Ebay.

And shout out to him because like you said, they had their whole defensive scheme based around, you know, centering it and pushing the check. And he's like, all right, I don't got checks. So now I'm playing all smaller wings or all drawers. And the concept ain't changed. Like, you gotta respect that. He adjusted early in the season. They're still successful. A lot of coaches don't adjust at all. They just deal whatever they got and see how the cars fall.

[Hendrix]

But they got they big back too.

[Game Rating]

It was a blessing in disguise when Chuck got hurt because Isaiah Hardenstein got a chance to play.

[D.J. Wells]

But yeah, he came back perfectly at the right time.

[Game Rating]

The way he plays fit them perfectly.

[Hendrix]

He ain't come on in and disrupt.

[Game Rating]

Anything Nah, it should be interesting when Che get back. I would like to see how they play. If they play too big or they play, you know, Hardenstein off the bench.

[Hendrix]

They ain't sleeper, boy.

[Game Rating]

Whatever.

[D.J. Wells]

And they so versatile to like. Like you said, depending upon the matchup. When they playing bigger teams, like when they playing the Nuggets and shit like that, you can play, have both of them on the court at the same time. But if you need to switch off and stagger their minutes, that's still tough to get full energy from Chet and Isaac, like, that's crazy. And the Knicks, we questioned them like letting him walk like that, but, man, so far the Knicks, they. I can't say shit about them. Everything they have done has worked to perfection. So good move for both of them. Isaiah is thriving out there and they got cat. Yeah, they ain't complaining at all. Your Hawks, man, took care of the Raptors. 136, 107 for the last five. Trae Young, 34 and 10.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. Where we at in the standards, man? We really starting to build something over there.

[D.J. Wells]

Three guys. Seven, I believe.

[Game Rating]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

No, in my pocket. Five.

[Game Rating]

Five. Excuse me.

[D.J. Wells]

You know what I mean after winning last night.

[Game Rating]

So I don't know. Is Trey Young an All Star? Trey, stats, please. Because if we talking about K. Cutting him being an All Star, ain't no way Trey Young ain't he going this run? I'm just saying. 22 and 12, that's probably not an All Star.

[D.J. Wells]

That's tough.

[Game Rating]

How are we not an All Star?

[D.J. Wells]

Is he the All Star or the Hawks?

[Game Rating]

22 and 20. I'm just saying, we over here talking about K. Cunningham. How is he not an All Star?

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, go to K. Cuddingham numbers again, please.

[Game Rating]

How is he not a All Star?

[D.J. Wells]

I'm sorry, Mike, got work today.

[Game Rating]

I think we deserve All Star bid for Trae Young. I wouldn't be mad if he was.

[Hendrix]

Flip the screen.

[Game Rating]

I'm gonna be mad if Jalen Johnson made the All Star team. I wouldn't at all.

[Hendrix]

Swear I wouldn't. That's a fact.

[Game Rating]

2410, Trey cold, though. 22 and 12. Yeah, but we fifth in the east.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, the East. That's. Let's go to the real loser. It's a little close. What's it, two games?

[Hendrix]

Yeah, what Trey Young doing?

[D.J. Wells]

But Trey Young is killing, bro. And he never get the respect he deserves. I would be mad if Trey Young.

[Hendrix]

Team me yet, bro. Yeah, it's just him and Jalen over there.

[D.J. Wells]

I mean, DeAndre Hunter is killing too. I know what you're saying.

[Hendrix]

That's Trey's just like competing.

[Game Rating]

DeAndre Hunter is having a. Nah. Yeah, I'm just saying. Hell of a year.

[Hendrix]

Put the Hawks nowhere near in the playoffs. Nobody cared.

[D.J. Wells]

Like they have no more picking. We didn't even talk about it.

[Hendrix]

They could have been opponents this year. Nobody would have cared. Yeah, so for him to be willing that team to fifth is that special, bro?

[Game Rating]

Yeah, they having a. Jalen Johnson's having a great year. DeAndre Hunter and Trey Young, we got a three headed monster that's playing really well right now. We just got to continue to keep it going. But Tre Young should be an all star. And I wouldn't be mad if Jalen Johnson made it so either one of them could make it. But I think Trae Young probably deserve it.

[D.J. Wells]

Nah, I respect that for sure.

[Hendrix]

My boy Clinton Capella whacking in them double doubles too. Hey, shout out to the blonde boy.

[D.J. Wells]

Mission consistent. Honestly, outside of like maybe honest and somebody else. I'll say open court. Jalen Johnson, one of the best players I've seen. Transition NBA in the long run. Unstoppable.

[Game Rating]

He's so fast and athletic.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, bro, it's wicked, man. Shout out to the Hawks. Gotta show some love. You talked about De Hunt killing this year. Is he a trade piece or do you keep him around?

[Game Rating]

Gotta keep him. He's sixth man of the year. Like I think we can trade Bogey.

[Hendrix]

They young too. Bogey can God keep them.

[Game Rating]

Bogey can go.

[D.J. Wells]

I only ask that question cause I've seen a lot of people say like, you know, he's a person who could go to a contender or a playoff team. Make a real big difference.

[Game Rating]

Oh, he shit. He averaged 20 points for us.

[D.J. Wells]

He can make a difference for sure.

[Game Rating]

He's the difference for us. Like he's sixth man of the year. I know they probably give it to Peyton Pritchard just because of the Celtics record. But if you really go look, get.

[Hendrix]

Rid of both way Capella and probably some more people.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, he's way more than that.

[Hendrix]

Leave that core alone though.

[Game Rating]

Okay, But I think D. Hunt, Jalen Johnson and Trey gotta stay. We can get somebody for Clint. Bogey can move on. Young Zachary, he's all right. He gonna be good.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he gonna find his way.

[Hendrix]

Keep learning.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, that's crazy. Weeks ago we was talking about free Trey Young and now it's like, damn.

[Game Rating]

I mean it's.

[D.J. Wells]

I mean, you know how it changed? It changed every couple weeks. I mean, you know how it was Two weeks ago, he just looked unhappy.

[Game Rating]

At first, but I think they found a rhythm and I think they got comfortable. I mean, last year was tough for Trey having dejounte with him, but now I think him having a role of being a primary guy ball handler again, he got comfortable again.

[D.J. Wells]

And a lot of you people who were saying, you know what I'm saying, try to. Try to keep dejounte. Woo. That take is agent terribly.

[Game Rating]

Unless they were saying for him to go with Wemby. Yeah, I mean, people just wanted to see that dynamic Wemby with a dynamic point guard. Not saying cp. Not CP is. But they just want a young guy that they can grow together with.

[D.J. Wells]

I was looking more like De'Aaron Fox, man. Look, Mike Brown got fired, man. Crazy. Signed extension last summer. I wonder what the details of that contract is. Cause I'm sure he probably got a nice payday out the door. But, hey, don't fire me after practice like, before you get to the team playing. Don't do that, bro.

[Game Rating]

But who cares if I'm like, bro, I'm like, I don't give a.

[Hendrix]

It's really no good times to let me go.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, but don't fire me before I go to work. Like, don't have me use my gas to drive into work and tell me this is my last day. I could have stayed at home.

[Hendrix]

People. People who work regular jobs. I think that's how it goes, too. We're gonna let you work your shift.

[D.J. Wells]

And that's crazy.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, they might have let me go at Walmart.

[Game Rating]

I got fired, boy.

[Hendrix]

Worked 10 hours.

[Game Rating]

I got fired.

[D.J. Wells]

He gave me that slip I got.

[Game Rating]

You know, that's how I go. My best friend Daddy had to HR.

[D.J. Wells]

That be y'all shout out to HR.

[Game Rating]

My best friend dad had to fire me in my job.

[Hendrix]

Shout out to Mr. Hogan.

[Game Rating]

He said, yeah, just don't come back, Josh.

[Hendrix]

It makes sense though, bro.

[Game Rating]

I said, what do you mean? He was like, yeah, yeah, you guys are doing a lot up here.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, it makes sense. You were stealing, though. I was working. I worked my shift.

[Game Rating]

I ain't get 5%. It was a. It was a scam ring going on.

[D.J. Wells]

Rico admire.

[Hendrix]

He was Woody. I was a good employee.

[D.J. Wells]

Can't work or anything.

[Game Rating]

I don't know. People still alive passed away or jail. So I ain't gonna call no names. But the leader of that was a female. Oh, she had going blaming it on the queen.

[D.J. Wells]

I ain't gonna lie. The crazy thing this weekend.

[Game Rating]

Crazy things she did, bro. We gonna get back to Basketball. Nah, she ain't hoop. She could have, though. She used to tell me to buy Kit Kats, right? So no offense, but people will come through. Certain people come through, and they wouldn't ask for their receipts when they buy stuff, Right. So she will avoid the whole, you know, transaction. Yeah, they'll buy 300 worth of groceries. She'll just void it because they won't ask for their receipt. And she'd be like, ask one of the. I was a cart dude or a cashier. If I come through here and buy something, I come through, buy a bunch of candy, like two KitKats. Give her a 20. She would change me out to 300.

[Hendrix]

Damn.

[Game Rating]

And then I'm like, well, the first time she did it, she like, meet me in my car. I'm like, hell no.

[Hendrix]

She paid for that.

[Game Rating]

I'm like, you just.

[D.J. Wells]

Why you give me that?

[Game Rating]

She like, no, no, no, no, no, no. I got in the car, I'm out.

[Hendrix]

Well, you should.

[Game Rating]

Nah, I took it. I was gone. She didn't get the three. I got the three. She was like, that's my drawer. Your drawer is short on you. You gave me that change.

[Hendrix]

That's crazy, bro.

[Game Rating]

What you was up.

[D.J. Wells]

Mr. Hogan had to make the call of eight, bro.

[Game Rating]

She had to talk to me. She like, man, you gotta give me some of that.

[Hendrix]

Ah, wow, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

That's not how this work.

[Game Rating]

You just told me to pull up and buy some.

[Hendrix]

I think it was scamming and still a man. Thank God for growth.

[D.J. Wells]

The by Rico's lyrics.

[Game Rating]

I got out of that, though. That was my one time, man.

[D.J. Wells]

The Kings. I don't. Do you think the Kings need to just go ahead and free Darren Fox Mess?

[Game Rating]

I mean, it'd probably be best for them. I don't think they want to. He already made it clear that he didn't like the way the organization was going because they always unstable. They don't know if it's going to be a winning culture or whatever. And then you fire your head coach. That's too obvious that y'all don't know where y'all want to go, what direction y'all want to go. And he already said he's not gonna sign back if he don't feel like he can win. So at this point, it's time to let him go. Let him go do something different. Cause obviously y'all in rebuild mode or y'all trying to figure out which direction y'all want to go.

[D.J. Wells]

I think it's telling that every coach talked about that situation. They Were just like, yeah, of course they fired Mike Brown. Cause this organization is shit. And everybody was saying that. I'm like, there's something to be said about that. Even back when Vladdy was running the show and they had the draft board online and stuff, they're very unserious organization. The Light the Beam stuff was cool. He got them to the playoffs. They hadn't been there in a long time, but they've regressed with this situation. And I don't know how they. Like you said, if you bring in a new regime, you're gonna have to wipe everything out. And De'Aaron Fox don't deserve to go through that, especially some of the other players.

[Game Rating]

Said he don't want to go through it. So, yeah, that should be a telling sign. Y'all might as well try to get something that y'all. Something good back for him right now. I mean, he got one more year on his deal before he could be an unrestricted free agent, whatever. But.

[D.J. Wells]

And look, they 12th right now, so you're gonna probably get a lottery pick, which, you know, we've seen them blunder.

[Game Rating]

Before, but I ain't gonna lie, they like, there's some good guards in the draft this year. You can get a Dylan Harper, you can get Even if you got an ace Baylor, you can always get a decent point guard in free agency. I mean, Tyus Jones would be a free agent. Some of these guys who can play. Yeah. But you can find a guard. I mean, and you might be able to get one back in the trade. Whoever they trade them to, you trade them to Miami, you can get Terry Roger back for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

You trade him to a team, you could definitely. I like that. A lot of stuff with him, reunited with Ben, that would be fire. Yeah, that'd be super far.

[Game Rating]

Or even if you trade him to San Antonio.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Game Rating]

Tre Jones back. And they got a plethora of guards over there. Most definitely young guys. Wesley, what's his name?

[D.J. Wells]

Blake Wesley.

[Game Rating]

You got a bunch of young guys that's over there that's looking for opportunity. And y'all gonna be in rebuild mode anyway.

[D.J. Wells]

I ain't tell you right now. We get. We get Fox, Castle and Wimby. As a young core. That's fire for sure. Dlo, back in Brooklyn, man, you definitely called the situation early on.

[Game Rating]

I thought it would be for Dennis Schroeder, but obviously it didn't go that way. But Dlo, I promise you, he gonna average 20 points back in Brooklyn. Yeah, he's free. He got. He's under. He's out of that LeBron mode or whatever. He doesn't play well with LeBron, man. I mean, he had a decent year last year, shot the ball well, but he's one of those guys that need the ball in his hand, be able to create, play free and that's what he's gonna be able to do in Brooklyn.

[Hendrix]

DLO done had a solid NBA career.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Hell yeah. No expectations to get out there and hoop out.

[Hendrix]

Dlo over 10k points. He about to kill.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, he gonna average 20.

[D.J. Wells]

I was dying, man. Nick Young tweeted last night. He was just like, and stay out. Don't come back to la. I was cracking up.

[Game Rating]

Nick Young, I respect that. He petty.

[D.J. Wells]

It's up for life.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, that's a different kind of bitch. Shout out to D Lo, man.

[Game Rating]

Welcome.

[Hendrix]

Welcome to Brooklyn, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Welcome back.

[Game Rating]

Welcome back.

[D.J. Wells]

And that's crazy. They said the next to go is Cam Johnson. Obviously Dorian Finney Smith was shipped to LA in that situation with Shake Milton. LA sensing over a couple of second round picks as well. But they said Cam Johnson is the next to go. They are asking for somewhat like the King's Ransom for him right now. They want a couple picks and talent for him.

[Game Rating]

I can imagine. I think he's a really quality player. I talk about him a lot on here, but I just think he fits every team. Sort of like Dorian Spinney Smith. He fits anybody team. And I think the Lakers did a good job by picking him up.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, he can guard anybody.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, he plays. He plays well with superstars and LeBron, obviously, and AD superstars. He know how to fit that role. Play defense, hit corner threes. So it was a great pickup for the Lakers for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Do you think that they're done making moves? Do you think they might. You know, obviously Austin Reese is probably going to be the de facto point guard. Do you think they'd make another move after this or do you think they just gonna stay put for a second?

[Game Rating]

I don't think there's no more moves they can make.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[Game Rating]

I mean, unless y'all gonna go get De'Aaron Fox, but then that's a whole different story. You gotta give up. Austin Reaves a bunch of picks. I don't know. Even if they got picks.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, they got a couple late in this work. I was gonna say if you can give up AR and picks to get De'air Fox, then you won.

[Game Rating]

But people love ar.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, they'll love Fox too.

[Game Rating]

He liked the poor man, Luka Donkic.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he got a shoe too. Which Is crazy.

[Game Rating]

Yeah, he the poor man, Luka.

[D.J. Wells]

Wax boy.

[Hendrix]

I got it.

[Game Rating]

You don't think he the poor man, Luka, if you really watch him play, the way they play is very similar. He's just not as big and strong. And why I say poor man? Cause he don't score as easy. But the way he make people shift and move and how he uses his body and creates pace. And he a really good passer, too. And he make tough shots. He liked the four man, Luke.

[D.J. Wells]

And most importantly, he plays well with LeBron. And if you're gonna be on LeBron team, you have to play well with LeBron. Pretty much the most important attribute. Pretty much, for sure, man. A couple NFL scores run through this morning. The Bills beat the sleeves off the Jets 40 to 17. Raiders took care of the Saints 25. Hold on.

[Hendrix]

Speaking of that, did y'all see Aaron Rodgers?

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, what he do?

[Hendrix]

He is funny, bro. He's like, y'all might as well play this young. I don't. He sat himself out, pulled himself out.

[D.J. Wells]

The Jazz are unserious organization, man.

[Game Rating]

I did that before play, Tyra. Oh, you get tired. Johnson minutes.

[Hendrix]

I said, man, Aaron Rodgers is the goat.

[Game Rating]

I'm like, man, we suck, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to Ryan Clark, man. I feel you nasty.

[Hendrix]

We love you, right? Y'all know how we feel about this.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to Rock Clark, man. Rogers. Aaron Rodgers to be on. And I love it. Yeah, he be on. Bullshit.

[Game Rating]

He really don't care.

[Hendrix]

He don't care, bro. They can pull himself out the game, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

You know what's crazy? When he finally retires and he goes on pat back, if he show full time, it's gonna get real wicked. He gonna say whatever he wants. So he already be on that now, man.

[Hendrix]

Ah.

[D.J. Wells]

Raiders beat the site 25 to 10. Giants beat the Colts 45, 33. We're gonna talk about that the end of this show. The Eagles beat the sleeves off the Cowboys 41 7. Saquon Barkley will break the record next week. Eric Dixon was just like, I hope he does not break it. Sorry, sir.

[Hendrix]

He cracked 2,000 yards, right?

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, but he's gonna beat the. He gonna get that record, bro. Against the Giants. All he needs, 101 yards, bro. Yeah, he's gonna get that. Cause the Giants are the Giants for sure. The Bucks beat the Panthers 48 to 14. Belt to ass. Jags beat the Titans 2013. Dolphins beat the Browns 20 to 3. Get well soon, James. Vikings beat the Packers 27 25. Hell of a game. And the commander took care of The Falcons yesterday, 30 to 24. That was a crazy Sunday night game.

[Hendrix]

Playoff clinch for them, right?

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, man, that was a hell of a game yesterday. And listen, man, young Phoenix looked decent yesterday, but you know what I'm saying. Lost an OT shout to Damon Daniels. Boy, he's a realist. Couple games tonight, let me know how y'all feel. Which way? Bulls at Hornets.

[Hendrix]

Hornets.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay, real quick. You got.

[Game Rating]

I got the Bulls.

[Game Rating]

Blazers.

[Hendrix]

Sixers.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, we taking the Blazers. That's tough. I'm gonna see what the odds are. Might take that money line off gp. Mavs at Kings. Mavs. The Kings ain't trying to win games. No way. Listen, man, a lot of people.

[Game Rating]

The Kings gonna win, actually. Cause, you know, people play on a high when they coach, get fired. Yeah, niggas be hyped. They might play their guys.

[Hendrix]

That's true.

[Game Rating]

Yeah. I'm gonna go with the Kings.

[D.J. Wells]

[D.J. Wells]

I don't take a shit.

[Hendrix]

His first career start for my alma mater. That was big for us last night. So shout out to Ian. We was talking about the OT athletes. He proved us wrong yesterday.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to Ian Jackson, man. He been getting some run last games, and he hasn't been producing.

[Game Rating]

He's one of the first OTE guys that graduated last year to have a big game, so I'm happy for him. I did an interview with him before, so. Pretty dope.

[D.J. Wells]

Shout out to you.

[Game Rating]

I think they played Campbell last night.

[Hendrix]

Yeah.

All star Trey for sure, man. Listen, I gotta reach back to Saturday, man. Jalen Brunson had 55 and nine, bro. Yeah. For as much as we've talked about Katt being phenomenal this year, and he has. Jalen Brunson's kind of taking a backseat, but he still had a moment. So he let y'all know that he is definitely elite for sure.

[Game Rating]

Verified bucket55.

[D.J. Wells]

That is tough for sure. Monday morning. Get well soon, man. Almost at the end of year. Be here. Who needs some encouragement to make it through?

[Hendrix]

[Game Rating]

Get up. Get up.

[Hendrix]

There's others on this list, but, Tyler, you're my favorite white boy. But you playing crazy after that as well.

[D.J. Wells]

The post game product was funny, though, because he put them glasses on. They was like, boy, with that. With that. Fade them glasses, he might set some off, man.

[Game Rating]

I ain't gonna lie. Y'all seen how I learned it. The vibes was.

[D.J. Wells]

You called him Michael Rapping.

[Game Rating]

I was like, damn.

[D.J. Wells]

He started look like Mike a little bit.

[Game Rating]

He put the bags on.

[D.J. Wells]

I was thinking about saying, I hate my mom. That's crazy. My get well soon is to Kenny Pickett. One of the worst passes I've ever seen in my life. I don't know what happens here. The ball didn't go anywhere, but his feet apparently did. That shit's crazy.

[Hendrix]

Like, he got stuck, that boy off that goo punch.

[D.J. Wells]

That's a nasty ass pass.

[Hendrix]

Yeah, something got stuck.

[Game Rating]

What is that called? Is that a fumble?

[D.J. Wells]

That n controller died. The batteries went obsolete on that boy. I don't know what happened. That's nasty work, though. Get well soon, Kenny.

[Game Rating]

I ain't gonna mock get well soon for my boy Peyton Watson. I like you too, young fella.

[D.J. Wells]

Nice.

[Game Rating]

But the other twin that wasn't fighting. He hit you with a move and punched on you.

[Hendrix]

Ah, hey, that's the one right there.

[Game Rating]

The crossover was tough, though.

[D.J. Wells]

It's one thing to cross me, but then you duck on me. That's terrible.

[Hendrix]

That's the one. That's the one. Got that?

[D.J. Wells]

Excuse me.

[Hendrix]

Hey, his offensive game is crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

They're so athletic, bro. That's crazy. I hope they end up on the same team at some point. That'd be far.

[Hendrix]

I want Lamelo and Lonzo to play on the same team.

[D.J. Wells]

They want Lonzo, go to Charlotte. Hey, if they do, boy, they gotta bring another brother, bro. Make it a family affair.

[Game Rating]

I can see Lonzo going there. Next year in free agency.

[D.J. Wells]

That'd be fire.

[Game Rating]

They don't got no backup guard either.

[D.J. Wells]

They hoop out crazy together for sure. Listen, another giveaway soon. K'shawn. George, man, listen, I know it was a rough weekend for a lot of people trying to defend the paint, but it got ugly. Precious went crazy one time.

Yeah. Watch out.

I always laugh when somebody get dunked on. They always try to inbound them all fast, like. Come on. Nah, we gonna replay that highlight. Don't worry.

[Game Rating]

Matter of fact, he probably wouldn't have dunked that. Cause I probably would have bowed him so hard.

[D.J. Wells]

See Laker, too.

[Game Rating]

Oh, yeah. I was known for those.

[D.J. Wells]

Check the highlights for sure, man. Another goodwill soon. Indianapolis Colts.

I know it ain't gonna be this week, but there's gotta be some changes in the city, man. It's getting real spooky. Cause, man, that's inexplicable to lose to the Giants the way that y'all lost to them.

[Hendrix]

Was that the last game of the season?

[D.J. Wells]

No, they got one more, but that was a game that if they won, it could have possibly kept playoff hopes alive.

[Game Rating]

Oh, yeah. Get your. Get the. Get the mics back out, guys. It's time to pie, baby.
