[DJ Wells]

Good morning. Happy Tuesday. It was on a stick. He took the whole cake pop the.

[Moog]

Side of that boy.

[DJ Wells]

He took a whole cake pop to the chin.

[Moog]

All right, say less, bro.

[DJ Wells]

If you haven't tapped into the patreon, the behind the scenes footage is filthy from New York. Please tap in. But you know What? It is 5:20 in the morning, your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is DJ Wells. We miss y' all. So we got a full house this morning. We're going to. We got Bishop, we got Lou, we got Moog, we got T. Fellas, good morning. How y' all doing?

[Moog]

I'm telling, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Family.

[DJ Wells]

It's been a while, man. We've been on a road, man. We gonna still hold y' all down, man. Breaking news. Late, late. Well, early this morning, Sean's broke the news, man. Drew Holiday, a blazer for the second time. Traded for Anthony Simons and two second round picks. The move saves Boston almost $40 million in that luxury tax payment we just had. You know, I'm saying, Mr. Grman on the pod, talking about some moves that potentially might do, but we did not see this one coming. Fellas, how y' all feeling about this move?

[Moog]

Great trade to me.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Moog]

Upgrade for the Celtics.

[DJ Wells]

Ooh. Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I knew it was gonna happen. You know, I got an inside scoop with some things. I told you this was the move that the magic should have made to get like. I'm not gonna say he's good as Desmond Bang, but he not too far off.

[Moog]

He not.

[DJ Wells]

Nah. Anthony Diamonds is a bucket. Unfortunately, he's been sitting in Portland where they haven't been doing too much. But, you know, you spoke really hard to trailblazers. That team was a really, really good offensive team, especially after Christmas break. So to add Drew Holliday to that. Hey, man, they looking promising, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't think Drew Holiday would be there.

[Lou]

Yeah, I don't like that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think they'll probably move on from.

[Moog]

Jrue for the second time, as they should, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't, like, go somewhere and rock. I like Drew Holiday as a player. Obviously, he's a cool dude friend, but I don't think he gonna want to be in Portland. I mean, Drew different. He probably don't care. Drew was ready to retire some years ago, but when they keep giving you money, he's like, I gotta keep playing. But I can't imagine he's gonna stay with this group. I can't see it.

[DJ Wells]

Okay, now, I mean, obviously emphasizing an expiring situation makes sense why the Blazers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Moved off for him.

[DJ Wells]

You get Drew, you could probably get other assets. But if you do keep him on that team, you think he's something you can wanna mentor Scoot for for a couple years.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Ah, for sure. I mean, Scoot Henderson, this just should be a player that he want to play like. Like, same similar body type, both really strong guards. Probably both can be really good defensively. Obviously we know Drew can do defensive, but Scoot can probably be a really good defender with his size and his speed and his quickness. I don't know. I don't know. I like Anthony Simons because he's so young. So I think obviously we know that Boston won this trade. They got under the tax, they saving $40 million, but they also got a 26 year old score. And not to say Drew couldn't score no more, but Drew, 35 years old, he's on his way out. So Boston did it again.

[Moog]

And with Jason down too. That's a fire pickup.

[Lou]

Yeah, that's 20 a night for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You're gonna say the heist of the century again.

[DJ Wells]

Brad Stevens, stay finessing. Boy, the things he's done as a general manager so far has been magnificent. But like you said, JT being out next year, every assignment's boosted that starting spot to 2 next to JB. I mean, I don't think he can score as much as jt, but he's definitely gonna score for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I think they could move on from Jalen Brown too, though. Not to say that like Jaylen Brown's not like a phenomenal player. I'm just saying y' all not probably gonna win a championship no time soon. No more like it's. It's over with.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, the injuries messed up y' all timeline. So to get under the, you know, the apron, they might as well move on from that contract.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Or. Or Derrick White, one of them move on.

[DJ Wells]

Derek, why you think so?

[Ryan Seacrest]

They make money.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm just saying from a money aspect, like, we all know that we want Boston to be a good team. Boston's better. Or Porzingis move on from Porzingis. Yeah, he's injury prone anyway. He's missed a lot of games, but that's why I don't think they'll be.

[Lou]

Able to move on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I don't think they'll be able to move on with Porzingis because unless they group him with somebody. Yeah, because he's too injury prone. He missed a lot of games. But they not gonna do nothing next year. Like it's over with.

[Moog]

They gonna be a playoffs.

[Lou]

That'd be a top five at least.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but like when you paying that much money yeah, you wanna win? Yeah. Like, you gotta make up with it in playoffs and championships and, like, they'll be a good team. They'll be top six in the East.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I know beforehand, when KD was still a son, they were saying potentially, Porzingis and Drew trying to link those contracts together to move on. Obviously, I think they still wanna move on for Porzingis. I don't know how that works. If somebody wants to take on that contract. We've seen Jalen Brown a lot of different places. We know Houston was one of the teams that they said potentially would go there. Obviously, they're not going to do that now with kd.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Now they said they still want to try to get them, though.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna say maybe they still could make that shake. They still got the assets. They still got some picks they could finesse with as well. But, yeah, I think like you said, Boston, they gonna make something shake. Man, that money's too high and ain't championship, so might as well.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Y' all think without jt, that's still a top three team in the east or.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, considering everybody being injured, they got a possibility to.

[Lou]

Yeah, it could be because the Pacers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The Pacers are cooked.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, we're down.

[Lou]

Next year, Milwaukee might be down again. I don't know, bro. Depending on what Philly doing.

[DJ Wells]

We don't know what we're gonna get for Philly. We're sure the Knicks are still going. Probably a be a top seed team. Cleveland, maybe. We don't know.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I seen click, you know, top four. Okay, well, maybe they. Maybe they stay with this squad and try to see if something happens.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, this is very interesting, but shout out to Chauncey Billups. Did a great job. Got the extension. What does poor need going forward? I mean, obviously. Yeah, he said a whole new team. They got some young, promising players, man. They got some nice wings as well.

[Lou]

They just need a star, bro. Okay, I need a star.

[Moog]

You say Reds too, over there?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, they gotta hit. They gotta hit big in the draft, but they gotta. One of those guys, is it school or sharp? One of them has to have, like a breakout season.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And I think it's more likely to be sharp just because his potential to score. Like, I think Scoot's a good player, but I don't think he shoots the ball well enough. Like him averaging 18 last year. He has to make that leap to like 24. And he got the ability. Every time we see him play, we like, damn, he can play.

[Moog]

Yeah, he nice.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think them moving on From Simons open up for him being a starter. And I think he gotta make that leap to like 24.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely. You look at, you're still talking about Jeremy Grant, man. Free that, man. He need to go somewhere and play well.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, if they think. I think if they think they can be a good team adding Drew. I mean, Drew Holiday and Jeremy Grant.

[Lou]

Yeah, they actually. They a nice team, bro. They just need that one little piece that'll get them over the hump.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And they gotta be Sharp. He gotta take that leap. And then, you know, what's my guy that made all defensive team?

[DJ Wells]

Let's scroll down, please. Tymani Kamara. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I like him. He can play. I like him. Avia.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, Denny. Avia. He been hooping.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He been hooping, too.

[DJ Wells]

They got some talent on the roster for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They got some capable players, but I think Sharp just had to take that next lead. I don't think Avia. I think Avia can be a good player, but I just don't see him being the guy.

[Lou]

But he a good piece on your team for sure.

[DJ Wells]

Most of it. He can hoop. We got Robert Williams. And you still got deandre Ayton as your big. So I resist this one.

[Lou]

He hurt a lot too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, they got Tom Lord. That's my guy.

[DJ Wells]

Deandre Ayton. Y' all think he could turn around? Well, not say turn around, but could be more consistent. He be playing good.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He had a good year. He just was. Got hurt.

[DJ Wells]

15, 10 ain't bad.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And they still got. Got the big guy from.

[Moog]

I'm definitely rolling with that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The big guy from UConn.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Donovan Clement off the bench. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I don't. I don't know how good he could be.

[DJ Wells]

All right. Seven to seven off the bench. I ain't mad at that at all.

[Moog]

Yeah.

[Lou]

Get that to about 10.

[Moog]

They need a couple pieces, bro. Nah, they do it gonna be sad, bro. I know. I'll let y' all do y' all NBA shit. That's tight.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They weren't really that bad at the second half of the season. They was one of the better teams.

[Moog]

In league west, bro. They'd be lucky to be apc, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, if they make a playoff.

[Lou]

They had a Hellcat's hell of a come up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. For that group, that's a big time come up.

[Moog]

I mean, I think Drew will help him get there. Drew will help him get there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The second half of the season, they one of the better teams.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. So, yeah, they.

[Moog]

I was like, yeah, where they at.

[DJ Wells]

Last Year we wasn't gassing that much. With Tato in last place at the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Bottom, they won 36 games.

[DJ Wells]

They were tied with the Suns. And the Sun's had a full process of wins.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, but you gotta think they start.

[DJ Wells]

Off the year, they was poo.

[Lou]

They got better at the end.

[Moog]

Yeah, there's a lot of teams you gotta defeat.

[Ryan Seacrest]

The math would be a lot better.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They'll be better still, a piece or two. They'll be better than the Kings.

[Moog]

They legit. Two people away, y' all.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, look. What are the Kings doing? What direction they have? I understand Memphis League sun's gonna be.

[Moog]

Better than the Blazers next year.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No.

[Lou]

Suns is gonna be trash.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, I have no faith in the Suns.

[Lou]

I don't see y' all.

[Moog]

Hear, hear.

[DJ Wells]

First, I respect it. That's your hot takeout.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He got one series, right.

[Moog]

How many of your teams was in the Final Four?

[DJ Wells]

Damn.

[Moog]

Okay.

[DJ Wells]

How many of your teams. Question.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I played for the Timberwolves. I played for the Timberwolves. They just sent me. They just sent me some gear and told me he was one of our fav. Timberwolves legend. They did too. It's funny as hell. Me and Pete was looking at it last.

[Moog]

No, he came. Mike. Okay.

[DJ Wells]

Why? He typed wait for something. Wait gets it. A word.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, no, I can't talk about it.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, give us some RFGL69. The super chat said no question or anything. Big love pause from Australia for sure. Appreciate y' all. Appreciate you, gang.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You watching this from Australia.

[DJ Wells]

My boy in the different tops. Don't show a love, boy. Go to bed. Supposed to be sleep 31 king Americans will never. Rick 10. The super chat said modern NBA versus NBA back then. Are players more likely to get hurt just because of the pace of the game? Is that. Should the league shorten the season?

[Moog]

Good question.

[Lou]

People been getting hurt for forever. It's a part of basketball.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I was there. Thomas tore his Achilles in 92.

[Lou]

At some point, you're probably gonna get hurt, bro. That's just how this works.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. I've been seeing some of the conversations of people like, well, they just play basketball or they play basketball so much, they should do other sports. Hey, man, injuries are things that sometimes you can't prepare for, bro. Sometimes it just happens. Unfortunately, bro, you're doing a lot.

[Moog]

I hate when people say that you're.

[Ryan Seacrest]

More likely to get injured if you do the same thing over and over and over and over.

[Moog]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like eventually your knee probably going to give out if you do a pound.

[Lou]

Dribble yeah, it's going to hurt eventually, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. And that's why athletes get so much respect, because your body realistically isn't meant to do this stuff. That's why you have to train to put yourself in this position, bro.

[Moog]

Just play basketball. It's crazy, bro. Yeah, you don't play basketball the same way they do, bro. I hate when people say that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. This is not your LA fitness stuff, bro. That's crazy. All right. Could we scroll one more time? Speaking of the mask, man, Daniel Gaffer got paid, man. Three years, sixty million dollar extension. And he does not have the clause in there, so he can be freed at any given time period. Y' all think the map's gonna hold on to him or is that a good bargain? A piece to move in the trade?

[Moog]

I like it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, I think they solidified. The NBA is making. Is in a transition right now. Okay, remember we played small ball. We did all that small ball shit. They didn't took that out the game. Now, like Draymond Green guarding these seven footers. He was the last one. Yeah. Nobody else can do that. And now they putting bigs back in the game. Obviously, the bigs are way more skilled than previous years, but you're gonna have to have some bigs to be able to guard Jokic. Like, Caruso did a good job. Jokic's gonna have a game plan for that next year.

[Moog]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Like, they gonna have a four man that you cannot switch onto. Like, they ain't gonna have MPJ or somebody out there. They're gonna have a big out there now. No, you're right to play alongside Jokic. Somebody that can also post up. They going back to a different style of basketball now. And it's kind of cool to see. And you can tell by the Mavs, like, we gonna play Anthony Davis at the fourth lively five. Yeah. Come on. Cool. So switch on to this.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. And that was my question, because, you know, they obviously still have Lively. You anticipate getting Cooper flag in there as well. So if that's the case, you're starting to. And your bench four or five is insane.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Yeah. They. They like, we gonna be the biggest team in the league. The Celtics shooting 63s ain't gonna lie, bro.

[Lou]

Size always win, bro. Like, we.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's crazy.

[Lou]

We taller than y' all. We could post y' all up and bully on the glass. We probably going to win, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Moog]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They own that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Even if you look from the patriarch standpoint, we play small. We had the advantage cuz our Guards was bigger than they guard. So in the sense, we were still bigger than them, but we played small. Mavs got to the finals off that bully ball and Luca and Kyrie. But still, man, the bigs are prevalent again, man. For sure. All right, man. Little drew 77. The super chat said, should the Pacers try to get CP3, Westbrook, Schroeder or get a young PG like maybe Rob Dillingham or just going to next season with the same team? I have no clue. They definitely need to get a point guard. I'm sure they will address that. I like Russ. I don't know if Russ fits this team because we already got a guard that can't shoot and push the ball. Schroeder would be great for us, but he's going to probably stay in Detroit. That was a good fit for him. I'm not mad at getting a young PG to see what's going on. I'm sure the Timberwolves ain't letting go of Rob Dylan. Yeah, nah, nah. I'm sure they not letting that go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He was in some of them trade talks.

[Lou]

I was about to say, are they gonna use him?

[Ryan Seacrest]

He was in some of them trade.

[DJ Wells]

Talks and in transition, we about to talk about kd. But did you see what the Wolves offered for kd?

[Lou]

What?

[DJ Wells]

Man, Rudy Dillingham. There was a pick as well. And who was the other player?

[Lou]

Yeah, they said no to that.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, but Brandon wasn't in that trade. It was Gobert. I forgot who else was in there. Dillingham, Moran, Shannon and picks. And they said nah. Because obviously KD didn't want to be there. He had to sign extension.

[Lou]

But damn, hey, I'd have made that trade, bro.

[Moog]

I mean, you couldn't if you know he ain't gonna be there and he.

[Lou]

Would have stayed with.

[Moog]

You messing up your. You messing up your business. That's a bad business decision if you know somebody don't want to be there, bro. And you trade away all of that, you. You green, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Not my young picks. But if you would have got rid of, go bearing some other stuff, I mean, just count the salary, then go get what you want. But speaking of the move, man, KD in Houston. How y' all feel about it?

[Moog]

I like it.

[DJ Wells]

A lot of people feel like they didn't give up as much as they could have. Obviously there's been some behind the door conversations with Katie and Houston.

[Moog]

He wasn't why they win.

[Lou]

Depending on how they use Cam Whitmore, I. I could like it. He can kind of do what Jaylen Green did. If they let him. Cuz they going to need somebody else that can. KD going to score but they going to need another punch, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Lou]

If they let him with more hoop, I like it. And then Reed Shepher, if he get to take off a little bit this year, they young pieces get to explode. I'm gonna like it. But I don't know man.

[DJ Wells]

I've been seeing a lot of people saying they need a two guard and obviously they said they don't feel like they're done with what's going on in the market as well. They can still be aggressive with some of the young talent they have.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They won't be that good unless they get another score. I like that like Thompson twin, we're banking on him being.

[Lou]

I feel like he going to be the same kind of score he was last.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I'm saying if we banking on him finding his jump shot, if that's the case, we gonna be in trouble. But if he do find his jump shot, he's an all star. But I'm not gonna bank on that right now. They gonna miss that toughness aspect. Obviously the twin can guard but Dylan Brooks just brought. I don't know what he brought, but he brought it.

[Lou]

Bring chaos bro.

[Moog]

He. Yeah, they gonna miss that the most.

[DJ Wells]

Take a lot of pressure off you too to play free basketball, play free defense. Cause Dillon Brooks a hell of a defender, big shot maker as well. Yeah, they're definitely going to miss him on that team. I thought that he. Him leaving in that trade was probably. I ain't gonna say more important than keeping Tari Eason or Jabar because I know they like Jabari Smith a lot. But Dylan Brooks is a big difference making that team because you could have had him next to KD but you can still go get a 2 guard to help them score. Like you said, they definitely need more on the team.

[Moog]

What's up with Jordan Clarkson? He get paid too much money.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He too. That's. That's too much.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, that's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He don't fit that vibe. They already got Cam Whitmore. Cam Whitmore can do what he can do.

[Lou]

Yeah, like he that kind of person. He gotta have a good year year. I just feel like they. They the same team kind of maybe a little better cuz it's kd but not about. Not by much.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think Jabari Smith, if they. If Jabari Smith can be the player that everybody think he can be then he can eliminate them having a two guard.

[DJ Wells]

Cuz I don't think he that good, bro.

[Moog]

He good, bro, but don't start mo.

[Lou]

I don't, bro. I mean, he good, don't get me wrong, but I just don't think he about to.

[Moog]

My boy got hurt and came out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He did got to it. He did get hurt, but he can shoot.

[Lou]

He said solid, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's a, he's a match, a matchup nightmare. Now, as you got Kevin Durant as your three and him as the four, obviously Kevin Durant gonna get the better defender.

[Lou]

True.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He might be able to free up and get to it. And being around kd, his game might expand a little bit. You know, working with him every day, seeing him similar size, got not the same movements, but capable movements. Maybe his game takes off.

[Moog]

He gonna be good, y' all.

[Lou]

So basically they betting on the young guys right now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I would. I mean, you bet on them last year.

[Lou]

Like, they got like Reed Shepherd. He, he, he should play a lot this year. He should play a lot better.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You'll get.

[DJ Wells]

You'll see a lot of RE shepherd backup minutes this year. Fred Van Fleet had declined the team option. I think they're working towards a long term deal to keep him there on the team. So they got a point guard. Second gun is an all star at the five as well. You look at some of the other players, you got Tari Easton off the.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Bench, who get a bucket.

[DJ Wells]

Cam Whitmore off the bench, who could probably get you some buckets. They are gonna have to. They're gonna have a young bench for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They gotta play Cam Whitmore this year.

[DJ Wells]

Have to.

[Lou]

What else they gonna do? They have to.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, I thought they should have played last year and they, they didn't.

[Moog]

So they gonna be cool.

[DJ Wells]

I mean, obviously M is a hell of a coach, so I think he got the talent to figure it out. I do think they need to get another two guard. Like you said, some more scoring for that team would definitely take them to the next level. But early predictions, where would you project the rocks would be? Would that be a top 14 with this KD trade?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it ain't gonna be top four. I wouldn't even say another score. Let me say a shooter.

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Lou]

Yeah. Cause sanguine gonna get 20.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Lou]

KD gonna get 25.

[Moog]

They're good, y' all. They're gonna be good.

[Lou]

They need another Cam Woodmore off the bench.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Six man, top 15, bro. But they need another shooter. Like, KD can shoot, obviously. Fred Van Fleet can shoot.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They need Jabari can. He's a capable three point shooter.

[Lou]

They think Reed will be a knockdown.

[Moog]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But if. If you put the ball in. This is sound crazy. You put the ball in the Thompson twin hand and let him kind of run point.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because that's what he do. He kind of. Then they team a little different.

[Lou]

I can see that, actually, on some.

[DJ Wells]

Draymond, him getting downhill and then kicking out to.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Cause Jabari can shoot, KD can shoot, Fred can shoot. Then they a little different, and then.

[Lou]

You ain't got to worry about him having to shoot.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Either you getting downhill or you making a pass.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Y' all remember how Rondo used to play?

[Lou]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, obviously we know how Rondo play, but if he come down, initiate the offense, he tried to attack, he don't got nothing, and he kick it and go to the dunker. It might be a different. Different team.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely. Now, for the Suns in this situation, what they got going on, man? They said possibly. You know what I'm saying, If they don't move Jalen Green, they're gonna go into the season with him and Devin Booker as a starting backcourt.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's nice.

[Lou]

Three of the same players, bro.

[Moog]

Well, my boy Bradley Bill is leaving.

[Lou]

Yo, they all is the same player, bro.

[DJ Wells]

They said if Bradley Bill is in trader, he most likely will be waived. So we're not expecting him to be waiting. I told y' all, which I'm happy for him to me, bro, you need to get away from Phoenix, bro. But the cards are yours, bro. You don't want to leave. You don't deserve to, bro.

[Moog]

I love it.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, listen, man, it's only a handful of people in the NBA who get to dictate where they want to go. Hey, run it up, King.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I hope Bradley Bill go to Detroit.

[Moog]

Me too.

[Lou]

I like. I like that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I really hope he go to Detroit.

[DJ Wells]

Hope Bradley Bill stays in Phoenix. No, I don't want to leave.

[Lou]

That's not happening.

[Moog]

I told y' all, it's a rap for that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I hope he get waved and go to Detroit.

[Moog]

McCade is fire and the other Thompson.

[Lou]

Bull because he still got. He got some good basketball left, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, go to Detroit.

[Lou]

He gonna. He'll. He'll turn the table back around.

[DJ Wells]

Obviously, this is pure hypothetical. What if he. You know what I'm saying, gets waves from Phoenix and then goes to the Rockets at the two?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah.

[Moog]

Katie has sent the season.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Lou]

What y' all doing, bro?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Nah, Katie ain't rocking with that one.

[DJ Wells]

And I laugh because DeMarcus cousin said you Know what I'm saying? He talked to some people in the locker room, said they had a lot of issues, fist fights and stuff going on. And KD came out, said, man, ain't none of that stuff happened. I really wonder, like, what the beef was in the locker room pause. Like, who really did like each other. Cuz I don't think it was the star players that was obviously doing that, but it had to be something going on, bro.

[Lou]

Think it was the star players.

[Moog]

It was, yeah. Do y' all forget who came on the show and told us about how pissy the locker room was?

[DJ Wells]

That is true.

[Moog]

Okay then. So, yeah, it was way before this season, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't speak on get well to.

[DJ Wells]

The sun, man, but I don't know what they're going to do. Devin Booker, man, they didn't say they.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Was he a. Say they was fighting?

[DJ Wells]

No, he just disagreements but didn't get along. Yeah, that's different than squaring up. Now you. You throwing hands, bro. It's a lot going on. Do we feel bad for D Book or he just get to be a son for life, man?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, be a son for life, D Book. You know who I feel bad for, though? And I said it last year. That's like my little. That's my little homie bro. Titus Jones.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Cuz he had a. I. I'm not. I don't know if it's confirmed, but I remember Washington offered him a deal. It was like 10 a year maybe, I think when he was in the Wizards. And he was like, nah, I don't want to play that kind of basketball. I'm gonna bet on myself. Yeah, boy, that's the worst bet you ever took. Cause God damn ball boy wasn't straight. Dysfunctional, man.

[DJ Wells]

Imagine leaving the Wizards and going somewhere worse.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Worse like how you go to. How you go to the Wizards and get worse, bro? Like, speaking of the Wizards, you can't.

[Lou]

Get less money, bro.

[Moog]

Yeah, stay where you celebrated, not where you tolerated. I don't know how many times I gotta tell y' all, this applies to every situation in your life. So.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Cuz he was in Washington as a store in point guard, I'm sure they offered him something. Yeah, more than a minimum.

[DJ Wells]

When the doubt listen to be him. But speaking of the Wizards, shout out to Chris Milton opted in, get that bread. You know the vibes. Also, they're looking to move on from Marcus Smart as well. So. Yeah, they got some pieces, man, that.

[Lou]

Could possibly help about Marcus Smart.

[DJ Wells]

It's the gulag, bro.

[Moog]

Like 40 million.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, he got 33. Yeah, 33.

[Moog]

Oh, yeah. He ain't no leaving. We gonna rock.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think smarty, smarty need to go back to the Celtics. His contract is too big. But he. He only played good with the Celtics.

[Lou]

Yeah, I mean, that's the only place he been.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, he was in good.

[DJ Wells]

He didn't really get a chance at Memphis, though. Memphis was kind of wild.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he was hurt. But you know how some people like they Powers leave. Like, when I left Indiana, the powers was gone. Yeah. Lance with the. It just ain't the same vibe. Cause everybody know you there. Like, they know what you expect. Like how you gonna play. He gotta come back to the Celtics.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Most times when people lead the Pacers, they get better. But in y' all cases, you know what I'm saying? Hometown Pacers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, I hooped my first year. Hold on. In Minnesota.

[Moog]

Smart. Get what about 20, 15, 20 years?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he gotta wait till that run out, and then he need to go back to the Celtics.

[DJ Wells]

No, most definitely.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Whenever that deal is up. I don't know when it's up, but once his deal is up.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If he want to keep hooping, he only can play for the Celtics.

[Moog]

For real crazy.

[Lou]

He can only play for one.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, yes. Last year.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it's Celtics after that.

[Moog]

Oh, yeah. That's smooth.

[DJ Wells]

So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them? It's the right thing to do. But we all know Degree Cool Rush deodorant well last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans. Degree's whole thing. It turns up sweat other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started online petition and Degree listen they admitted they Effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

[Tito]

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

[DJ Wells]

Our man back in the super chat with it, Mike D said KD gonna be working with Jabar and Amen. They're gonna be a problem. I could definitely see that man for sure. Good person. Learn behind Nicholas Luciano. And super chat says off topic, but trading for our pick in 2026 back during the finals looking like a good move. They put insurance on Halliburton. Yeah, that was a good move. Regardless of what happened in the finals, man, we got our pick back after we traded for passing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What's the pick pick?

[DJ Wells]

We traded with The Pelicans. A 2025 pick for a 2026 pick and a player. So we got a pick back. We traded from Pascal. So we back in the first round for a consecutive year. So we could definitely do something.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right, what pick y' all got.

[DJ Wells]

In the first round, it's gonna be super low. But that next one boy at 20, 26 pick might be the one because we might be cheeks next year. So that was a good. That was a good haul. It don't matter about this year.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm trying to think, yeah, 23 is a pick. I got a 23rd pick. I'm trying to think, is there any, like, sleeper. Sleeper pick y' all might be able to get the boy from Florida.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, this year?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

No, we traded our 20, 25 pick. We had the 23rd pick this year. We traded for next year.

[Moog]

Yeah, that's next year.

[DJ Wells]

That move was great because now y'.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All gonna be cheeks.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. So now we gonna probably have a lottery pick.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, yeah. Y' all probably gonna end up getting Taha Pettiford.

[DJ Wells]

Pull up, pull up. I ain't mad at it. We got a lot of basketball to play before then, though. We shall see.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I ain't gonna win nothing, so. Gonna be a top 10 patriots gonna be okay.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, Kevin Pritchard. I trust, bro. Every time it's getting shaky, my voice.

[Moog]

Pacers are going to be okay. They out east. They gonna be in at least a playoff or whatever. The little battle to get there.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. Unfortunately, we don't ever really get too many seasons where we're just completely trash. So we'll be middle of pack.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know, this is what it feel like. Remember when PG got hurt? That's exactly what it feel like.

[Moog]

I don't think so. Different team.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, that was the same team, bro.

[DJ Wells]

He was a Parker Sword for a year.

[Moog]

The best player didn't get hurt. PA still got Pascal.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They still had David West. They still had George Hill. They still had. They boys set out, but Pascal better than them.

[Lou]

I was about to say they weren't the best player, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Pascal. You know what I'm saying?

[Moog]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Pascal's Bird. Prime example of that game when Halliburton went out. Halliburton is what makes Pascal good. I'm not saying Pascal not fire, but for that team, Halliburton was making Pascal good.

[DJ Wells]

Pascal's gonna be Pascal. But for everybody else to play good, we need Tyrese. So without Tyrese, everybody's gonna be fair.

[Lou]

He's the engine.

[Moog]

If y' all think him getting hurt is gonna put them at the bottom of the East, y' all crazy.

[Lou]

They might not put him at the.

[DJ Wells]

Bottom, but they're not a really good. We're not really a good team. Without Tyrese. It's been.

[Moog]

That's fine.

[Lou]

Yeah, we knew the game when Tyrese.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Was bad at the beginning of the year. The Pacers were ass.

[DJ Wells]

Horrible. Granted, there were other injuries as well, but when he was not good, we were terrible. When he got back playing again, that solved everything.

[Lou]

Facts. He is the engine, bro. He made.

[Moog]

I respect it. I respect.

[Lou]

Make everybody better.

[Moog]

Give him a trophy, a statue, regardless. But now you get.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Now Nimhard get a chance to be the player that he was his rookie year.

[Moog]

Because if y' all bring in another decent guard that can hoop like how the Celtics just did with Anthony Simons, y' all gonna be cool, bro.

[DJ Wells]

I was gonna say Matheran and Wallace should have the greens of greens next year to see what we got. I don't know what direction we're gonna go towards. I don't know what we're gonna do in the off season. They said, quote unquote, we're gonna be aggressive. I know that Rick Carlo was on the radio this morning. Shout out to my guy James saying that Miles Turner's signing is a priority. I don't know what the numbers are, so if that's what direction we in.

[Moog]

Bro, I know what time it is.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, the number dropped. Shout out to Miles. You're get paid, black man. Let us see it. But I don't know if it's gonna be 100 mil drop.

[Moog]

Yeah, I don't think Mouse turned about to get 100 million. Are y' all crazy?

[Ryan Seacrest]

It gonna be at 3 years 90 and money drops.

[DJ Wells]

That make about sense?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Because after seeing Daniel gaffer just got three years 60. Daniel gaffer got three or 60, he gonna get three years 90.

[Moog]

Respect, man.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Miles Hunter, man, for sure. All right. In the super chat, ACM075 says, is it number zero? Cooked gill dame, Holly Tatum, Teague with no cartilage. Damn. That's crazy. I wouldn't expect the Jeff jab.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Damn. Why you put that number right?

[DJ Wells]

That is messed up, but it ain't even a number. Because if you look at the Pacers roster, we bought two bigs. The beginning of the season to Achilles, and then Tyrese, bro, it just sucks. That's great. It's crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Zero is kind of tapped out.

[Moog]

He didn't say nobody else injury, but.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This.

[DJ Wells]

That'S out of pocket, man. Cut. Throw eight up three. In the super chat said, do y' all think the Celtics will move JD Davidson with JT Out? He should get a chance to play, bro. He can hoop.

[Lou]

He can't.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He can hoop, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Give him a chance, bro.

[Lou]

Bro, I mean, why not? I ain't about to be championship contender.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They might though. They still got a chance, bro.

[Moog]

They are nice.

[Lou]

I think that's a hell of a.

[Moog]

Hell of a pickup.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He gotta beat out too many people, though.

[Lou]

They gonna be.

[Moog]

He ain't with Anthony Simons, bro.

[Lou]

But I can't come off the bench for 15 minutes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's a lot of minutes he gotta beat out. You gotta beat out Payton Pritchard, Bro. Play 82 games, 6 minute a year.

[Lou]

Peyton Pritchard, 82.

[Moog]

I understand what you're saying.

[Lou]

He's good.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He need an injury. I. I don't wish that on nobody. But he need like Derek White.

[Moog]

No. Got a quick replacement.

[DJ Wells]

Okay. Hey, you can always get a replacement. Jalen Brown, he's about to go crazy next year. Hey, no swings.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, my God.

[Moog]

Anthony Simons is putting it up, bro.

[Lou]

Jalen Brown is about to shoot everything in sight, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Jalen Brown's thinking I can win mvp.

[DJ Wells]

Jaylen Brownload.

[Lou]

He's trying to get mvp, bro. He's about to prove that he's.

[DJ Wells]

He about to average 30. Let's go.

[Moog]

Shout out to J.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This is his dream scenario.

[DJ Wells]

You scroll one more time for me.

[Lou]

He about to try to prove he.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Better than Jason Tatum, bro. Like, he. He not. He probably hurt that his dog got hurt. But in his mind, he like, this is all I ever dreamed of.

[Moog]

Yes, you're well soon. I'm here with you every step of the way.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We don't need him.

[Lou]

For real.

[DJ Wells]

I got this DPG going up for my boy J.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Just give me some shooters around.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'mma hold it down till you get mvp.

[DJ Wells]

Jalen Brown, Young Nor the super chat said. What's up, y' all? Good morning to y' all. What are your thoughts on the Ace Baylor situation? I love the show.

[Moog]

Appreciate it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I brought that up. That's the dumbest move I ever heard from an agent in my life ever.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro.

[Lou]

He's losing M's every pick.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

Did you see the team that he's. He wants to go to?

[Ryan Seacrest]

What was it? Washington?

[DJ Wells]

The Nets?

[Lou]

He said any east coast team he's rolling.

[DJ Wells]

Not the Hornets, though.

[Lou]

Nothing out west.

[Moog]

He's trying to stay at home now.

[DJ Wells]

He's trying to go to a team where he can go shoot the ball wherever he wants to. I'm saying he declined workouts from Philly, Charlotte, Utah, and he prefers New Orleans, Brooklyn and Washington. I'll see you play. I don't that one of us where I can shoot him, though.

[Lou]

He's getting terrible advice, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm sorry. His advice is dumb, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Terrible advice. Yeah, not taking workouts is crazy, bro. It's the NBA draft.

[Lou]

You turning down meetings with NBA teams, bro. He think he the show. Yeah, bro, you not the show, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

His agent is awful, bro.

[Lou]

LeBron James and took these meetings, bro. Michael Jordan, who you think you are, bro? Take the meeting.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, you don't have to work out, but you can go meet with the team, bro.

[Lou]

How you telling billionaires otherwise? No, I'm not.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm not.

[Lou]

I don't want to.

[DJ Wells]

There we go, right there. Yeah, that. That's why. I mean, shout out to Ace Bailey, man. Obviously he's gonna go lottery, but, man, you. It's the NBA, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I've seen crazy things happen.

[Lou]

Nah, he gonna get paid. He too good, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, I mean, you.

[Lou]

If he don't get picked up, they might humble you. I think Paul, period.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Paul Pierce supposed to go top five, bro. He ended up 10.

[Lou]

Yeah, I'm saying he's still lotto team.

[Moog]

Gil up his draft.

[Lou]

Yeah, but yo, was Gilato.

[Moog]

No, he won first round, though. Was working out in Chuck Taylor's.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, he was supposed to be a first round pick.

[Lou]

Yeah, he supposed to be a top three pick if he fall out the first round, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It was somebody that. That dude from Duke last year, Philip Watsky.

[DJ Wells]

Whatever. Yeah, he was supposed to be 15 pick.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, bro, that boy was second round.

[Moog]

I'm not saying he did the same thing as us, of course, but I.

[DJ Wells]

Mean, girl put the thing on him. He didn't know how to think. That shot my boy came before.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It been worse scenarios, bro.

[DJ Wells]

It has been crazy for sure, man. Hey, get well soon, man. All shout out to your agency, but I don't know, man.

[Moog]

Shout out to them. Them, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I heard it's that one dude. That's Cooper, because he messed up his draft stock.

[Moog]

Get away, Sharif.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Moog]

Yeah, man. Come on. You should have learned from your son. Tighten up.

[Lou]

Yeah, don't do that to him, man, Please.

[DJ Wells]

It ain't the best advice, man, but we hope it'll work out for A.C. sure it will.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He must have got a guarantee or something.

[Lou]

Nah, he didn't work out because he ain't get a guarantee. He wanted one from Philly and they didn't give it to him. So he said, that'll be hard though.

[Moog]

If he goes to Philly.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That ain't no cause. You know what? They got a player that's better than him in Philly. I mean, no, Edwards, bro.

[Lou]

Edwards.

[DJ Wells]

Is nice.

[Lou]

All of them better than him, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I swear. Edwards is nice, bro.

[Lou]

He is nice, bro. He's the number one player in the country, too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, bro. He just got messed up with that Kentucky system. But, bro, he can really hold.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah. The NBA is different, man. Don't decline a workout. So that's annoying, bro. But it's part of process, bro. Gotta go through it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nobody else declining them, though, ever. Dylan Harper not declining.

[Lou]

Nobody has ever shouted deal.

[Ryan Seacrest]

What's my guy that we interviewed from Texas? Trey Johnson not declining, bro.

[Lou]

If LeBron James can't decline these, then how can you, bro? He the best player ever, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Derek Queen.

[Lou]

Bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All these dudes is. This dude Cooper Flag is working out for people.

[Lou]

Yeah, Cooper Flag, he already know where he is, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

100.

[Moog]

We traveling for no reason.

[DJ Wells]

My boy know he about to come in.

[Moog]

It's a part of it, right? It's a part of it. Big Vinegar.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, they said.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They said. They said. That's crazy. They said Cooper Flag went to work out for Dallas and they said he was better than what they thought.

[Lou]

See what I'm saying?

[Moog]

I told y' all. Well, that's a different player.

[Lou]

Gotta get in the field, bro. It's just what it is.

[DJ Wells]

That scout team out of pocket said he better than they thought. Boy, if y' all ain't seen him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

In two years, y' all, you gotta think, bro. They say he's shooting the ball, bro. Like, he got. He can shoot.

[DJ Wells]

He had the three.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's what they saying. Look comfortable.

[Lou]

Might have been working, bro.

[DJ Wells]

Okay. Can't wait to see draft night. It's gonna be interesting for show. Vic Vinegar in the super chat said, never thought anyone could touch inside the NBA, but you guys are dope. Thanks for all the content. Appreciate you, gang. For show, man. Shout out to Inside the NBA. Tony Reyes and the super chat said. So with the style changing, does this offset the pace with certain teams? Does it bring back the back to the basket bigs in more traditional positions?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, no, it's never gonna be back to the basket no more. Yeah, that's not what bigs for that.

[Moog]

No more drop steps.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No big. Don't even work on that. What we saying is it's still going to be positionless basketball, but it's just going to be more skilled, big man. So you ain't going to be able to have a 6, 5 dude on a 7 4. Wimy. It's just not going to work.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, it'll be Christmas for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it's just not going. These dudes are getting taller like everybody we Walk up to the point. Guards are six, seven. Like, we just seen Dylan Harper.

[Moog]

Yeah, that was crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm starting at the point, and he's 6, 5, 6, 6. And I'm like, I didn't know he.

[Moog]

Was that tall, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, like they said Ace Bailey is a two guard. He's six, eight. Cooper, flag six, eight, three, six, nine. Like, positions are against all the. What? Holla. Burton, Tyrese would six, five. Yeah, you know what I mean? Most definitely say six, six.

[DJ Wells]

You ain't lying, man. FTL, the 69 and Super Chat again said, man, man, stuff all that talk. Where the hell is Barbie?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, we asked you the same thing, brother. That.

[DJ Wells]

That 79.99 might get you Barbie, bro. Just know what I'm saying. Hit her up, see if she gonna come to work.

[Moog]

Damn.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You tell us. You tell us what she think of this. Say, go away. Say, shout out to Earl's auction, baby. 88, 88, 7.

[DJ Wells]

Now she come to work. Damn.

[Moog]

Barbie went for a used alternator on this one.

[DJ Wells]

We trade Barbie two sacred outfits.

[Ryan Seacrest]

She don't come to work no more.

[Moog]

Yeah, she just.

[DJ Wells]

We're looking forward to it, brother. Shout out to Barbie, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Tell her to call us, man. She be posting. No, for real. I'm on. And I'm on your top pause, like right now. It ain't no Paul Sugar. Listen, she be writing us on the thing. Why you firing me? We be like, why you only just come?

[Moog]

Just pull up to the studio. Your work days.

[DJ Wells]

We be recording people like we're waiting on you.

[Ryan Seacrest]

She'd be like, I got 30. She'd be like, I only got 20 minutes.

[Moog]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We'd be like, damn.

[Moog]

Yeah. And she freestyle our drinks, come and mix and match the motherfuckers with her eyes closed and leave.

[Ryan Seacrest]

She don't even bring the little measuring cups no more like she used to. She just come in here and be like, all right, I gotta go.

[Moog]

Nah, for sure. Our being anything. We all got different cups.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. We start calling her late on purpose because we know she gotta go somewhere. She'd be like, when they gonna call me, Mike?

[Moog]

She came in this with some period panties and a big ass sweats one day. There's a lot of been going on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't care what she wear.

[DJ Wells]

Respect.

[Ryan Seacrest]

She can wear whatever she want wear.

[DJ Wells]

Well, I'm just saying, don't worry.

[Moog]

We know drinking no Rasheed Wallace sweatshirt.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't care what she wear. That's my home girl. Man, I just wish she was.

[Moog]

Barbie, though.

[DJ Wells]

We love her for sure. Man, J in the lane wife said it's Houston the way out for those who have played for okc, Harden, Westbrook, CP Adams, now kd. Yeah, man, the Houston Thunder is a real thing for sure. Brandon W. 7 in the super chat says who out of the last seven championships teams was the best team if they were to play against each other. That is a great question. We are going to go into a deep dive of that tomorrow because we really want to break that down. That's a great question. But tomorrow we're gonna definitely go through the last couple championships and have a nice little tournament. Love the pop. Would y' all choose to choose?

[Lou]

Choose the choice.

[DJ Wells]

Bando Boss. Oh yeah. This was the edit. Big Dog Mix Dog said, when y' all say y' all got Lou on the show, man, if you know, you know.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Shout out to my dog, Lou Bruh. He don't want to get a lot of this information for us.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to Lou. Who the is Louis? All right, man, we weren't here to recap the finals, but obviously we know who got the dub. Man. Thunder took care of business. 03 to 91. Let's talk about the aftermath for both of these teams, man. Shout out to the Thunder. Young team getting the chip. Do they have the potential to, you know what I'm saying, build a dynasty? You know what I'm saying? They gotta pay out, J Dub. They gotta pay check. But they got a lot of draft capital too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But that's easy though. They can always keep them three. Like they can rotate anybody else with him. Like obviously they need Caruso. They locked him in. But they could trade Caruso. Caruso a great trade piece by having all them picks. That mean every year you can draft a young dude and his money ain't gonna hit for four years. So for the next eight years you can have Chet and Jalen Williams, whatever. And you can just keep drafting young guys.

[Moog]

Cause they still young.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, and just rotate them once. Another one get good and they fourth year, they ready for extension. Go ahead and let him go, we'll draft somebody else.

[Moog]

Agreed.

[DJ Wells]

You got Casey Wallace, who's a young player off the team who could basically feel Caruso's role. I forgot to go Nikola topic. He ain't even played a game yet. He in the wings. He gonna get some burn next year for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They still got that one. What's the other top one? Last name server to G. Let's go.

[DJ Wells]

To the roster so we don't mess nobody's name up.

[Lou]

Smart ass GM boy.

[DJ Wells]

Hey, man, he Validated. Now they can't say nothing about my boy got that chip like Isaiah Joe.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Can be on the move.

[DJ Wells]

Yep.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Jalen Williams can be on the move. Aaron Wiggins like the other Jalen Williams with the Y. Isaiah Hardenstein could be on the move. You can all like, you can sub Isaiah Hardenstein out and put Jalen Williams in. Now Hardenstein getting 90 million. Whatever he getting, I know he was on a three year deal. So his by the time they money kick in, he gonna be off the books anyway.

[DJ Wells]

Most definitely.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. So it don't even matter.

[DJ Wells]

And you can retool. Like you said either you could take those picks and get young talent and keep the train going or you know what I'm saying, flip those and get another player. You need to win now too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

It ain't even that though. Like, like you said, they can just keep rotating these young players every like what's a jang? He ain't touched, he ain't touched the floor. He a capable player. And you can keep a lot of these dudes that ain't played for low prices. Like when they time do come, like.

[DJ Wells]

I ain't mad at it, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They could be a dynasty. I just don't think they. I think the NBA running back. Yeah, I don't think they will. I think the NBA too wide open because I think they're good. But going game seven with the Pacers. No offense to the Pacers, but like that don't show me that you dominant.

[Moog]

Facts ain't nobody went back to back since what, Kobe not going to state? Yeah, going state. Going state. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But like I don't think going game seven with the Pacers and didn't look too promising to me.

[Lou]

NBA too wide open right now, bro. Ain't no dominant force.

[Moog]

It's gonna be hard to beat them though.

[Lou]

And they gonna be good, but it just ain't guaranteed that they going back to back.

[DJ Wells]

And people are too willing to sell for a championship. Obviously we always know it doesn't work that way when they go all in. But too many gyms now, like hey, if I can go build a team for two years, they'll do it. So maybe not one year, maybe the next year, but same shit we had last year, we thought the Celtics were going to repeat. Obviously a lot of things have to go right for you to win a championship.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[DJ Wells]

But hey man, they got a young capable team, man. And like you said, one of the best GMs in the game, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They'll be good for the next seven years. It's Going to be a quality team over there. I just don't think they win back to back.

[Lou]

They might win another championship. I just don't think it'd be back to back either.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, man. Shout out to them, man. They went crazy. Hell of a year for OKC for the Pacers. Obviously, we know that Tyrese injury means the world to this franchise. We've talked about a little bit. But pay miles cool. Then obviously you're gonna run it back. But what do you do with this team, Mook? What we doing, man? What we gotta do? Running it back?

[Lou]

I mean, why not, bro?

[DJ Wells]

Okay.

[Lou]

We're gonna be a middle of the pack team. I mean, we can go pick up a Russell Westbrook or something. A little point guard just to hold us over. Are we gonna be a middle of the pack team, bro? I'm trying to achieve this year, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm trying to think of a. A younger point guard or even a veteran point guard that's not as polarizing.

[Lou]

Like, you can't get in Troder.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You can't have Russell Westbrook. I love Russ, bro. He cannot come.

[DJ Wells]

I love Russ, but I don't want Russ and TJ on the same team.

[Moog]

No, but I'll be seeing what Jeff be saying. Sometimes players be too big.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. C.P.

[Lou]

I don't think C.P. coming here.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, but you can't have.

[DJ Wells]

Who would you get?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Westbrook would be great, but he just. You can't have him. The way they shoot threes. No, I'm saying the way like halberd and play. He's a three point pass first. The Pacers is used to like we not shooting threes. You know what I mean? It's a style of play. And Russ don't fit the Pacer style of play. Like off the bench. He would. Yeah, like he'll be great as a T.J. mcConnell type of guy. Come in and do his thing. But as a starting point guard with Nemhardt and them.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah. Nimhard. Them are gonna really have to get the reins. I think everybody's saying, like where we should go get a guard. I'm like, I think it's just got his time to just be a starter for next year. Go crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Put Mather in the star lineup.

[DJ Wells]

Got to. You have to. If you don't start being trade him because it's unfair to him at this point.

[Lou]

You gotta go crazy this year. Let it fall out, bro. Let him average 20, 24 because he gonna average.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But if they do it that way, what happens when Tyrese come back?

[Lou]

He don't need to overly shoot anyway. That ain't how he plays.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying Nimhard becomes the point.

[Lou]

I'm hard. You going back to where you was.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And then what that mean for Ben? I just averaged 24.

[Moog]

He'll still start with Tyrese.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So Nate Smith coming is out of there.

[Lou]

No, somebody's gonna. If he has 24. Somebody going to that bench. That's just flat out. Because I can't go back to the bench after I just average 24.

[Moog]

No, I'm gonna start.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[Moog]

So Nimhard, Miles Turner, you start lineup.

[DJ Wells]

If we didn't have Siakam just paying him on a max deal we just started, I would feel like maybe they would go in a different direction. But if you're not gonna be competitive this year, you might as well trade Siakam then. But we're not gonna trade him because we still got Tyrese in the wing, so.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, I think they're gonna be competitive. I think they'll find a. I just. They do a great job of always finding a guardian that we never think about like they used to. They always used to go get Darren Collinson out of nowhere.

[DJ Wells]

Yes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know what I mean? And he'll be a quality guard, and they'll be a good team. Every time you thought, like, the Pacers were cooked. Yeah.

[Lou]

Now they gonna find something.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They go. They might. You know, they found Malcolm Brockton one year. They just go find some random guard that you're not really thinking of, and he'll come here and have a good year.

[Lou]

Corey Joseph, you think them hard to hold it down all year starting.

[DJ Wells]

Oh, I think we're gonna get a chance to see. I think that he's capable, but they gonna go find.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I swear they gonna find a random guard. We not thinking they gonna pressure on.

[DJ Wells]

Kevin Pre, though, bro.

[Lou]

Oh, they always cool.

[Moog]

P gonna be cool. Tyrese hurt them for sure. But they went to the finals, to the last game.

[Lou]

They gonna be cool.

[Moog]

They be all right.

[DJ Wells]

And I hate to use what if scenarios, but that's something that's gonna haunt this franchise for a very long time, period. Because the way that Tyrese came out killing, bro, everybody felt like that was.

[Lou]

His moment, but we don't know if.

[Moog]

That would have kept going.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah. But this is gonna start like that.

[Lou]

It normally do, though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's what's gonna make Tyrese career is already in the hall of fame just because of that one moment. Because now his story got to be.

[Lou]

Is like, yo, nine to six minutes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We was about to win. I got hurt. He could say that for the rest of his life. I was about to win.

[Lou]

I got everybody believe it too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, everybody feel that way.

[Moog]

My boy need a mini dog.

[DJ Wells]

It was dope. Was. You see the Netflix doc? They got all of them.

[Moog]

Who?

[DJ Wells]

Netflix. The casting that they had last year is amazing. You had Jaylen Brown, you had sga, you got Tyrese. And I forgot who the other player is. But, yeah, that was James Harden. But the Netflix doc next year is going to immortalize him next year. Because even to know he came out today after surgery, he was just like, yeah, I know the risk, but guess what? I do this shit again. Like, this shit sucks, but I do this shit again from my brothers for the city. He's like, y' all deserve this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm sorry I let y' all die. He stamped in the city forever.

[Moog]

Reggie would never say that.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Never.

[Moog]

Reggie would never say that.

[DJ Wells]

There'd be no more slaves.

[Moog]

Give my boy a statue if you.

[DJ Wells]

Hate that, bro, you weird.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I swear to God, I love Atlanta to that core. I would not have played it. I would have play. I. I play with. No, I play with a tour.

[Moog]

You rocking out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I had to tear my patella and play. Yeah, you would have played in round one.

[Moog]

Damn.

[DJ Wells]

N. Yeah, you love Atlanta for sure. He said round one.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Round one. I had a terrible playing, bro, in the playoffs.

[DJ Wells]

Speaking of that, this is random, but we didn't talk about the KD trade. Did y' all see that the Cavs offered Darius growling for kd?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, they. They know.

[DJ Wells]

They.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I love dg. I know, man. He little brother. Does he Indiana kid. But hell, that injury that. That people don't care about that they trying to win.

[Lou]

Damn.

[Moog]

Damn. That would have been crazy. Yeah, I like KD with the cash.

[Lou]

That look weird to see him on in a cash uniform.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, I ain't a lot. I would have been. I would have really felt away if he. If they would have had that record initial, I would have felt away, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't want to see Kevin Durant.

[Lou]

In the cab Jersey just because that's Brian Town.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, that's Brown.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah. This is nasty work for sure, man. Get well soon to the patience, man. We gonna figure it out for sure, man. Let's get to the mlb, man. Some good skulls yesterday. Oh, first super chat. Excuse me, coach Keith Jr says who are some first round sleepers in Thursday's draft, man, it's gonna be a lot of talent in this draft that people are not speaking about. For sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Will Riley, bro, Illinois's kid. He nice man. I don't know too many people really tapped in with him. He can hoop though. Nice, man.

[DJ Wells]

Shout out to all young guy we had on the pod yesterday, man. Thomas Orbert's gonna make a franchise really happy. We talk about the bigs being prevalent again.

[Lou]

Yeah, boy.

[DJ Wells]

A footer. He got a 7, 6 wingspan. He'll instantly have the biggest wingspan in the NBA. He would definitely help a team going forward for sure. But yes, a lot of talent, man. New millionaires on the way. Shout out to them. We'll go. We'll go more in depth tomorrow with that as well. Joshua Blair in the super chat said, does his chip funnels MVP make Shade the goat Thunder now. I mean he got a ring. He's the go. Yeah, he's the best mvp, all star MVP scoring champ. He did everything in one season, bro.

[Lou]

You might not want to say it, but it's true.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They're the best Thunder player ever.

[DJ Wells]

Damn, he raised the banner, bro. And he did it. He wasn't a role player. He was that man. He did everything he could have did in the season and won a chip.

[Lou]

I got a finals in MVP or a chip.

[DJ Wells]

Come on man.

[Lou]

I do and I got mvp first.

[DJ Wells]

Team all NBA scoring champ. What else could he have done?

[Ryan Seacrest]

He did everything possible besides make all defense attempt.

[Moog]

That's overrated.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, bro. I can't be the scoring champ in all defense. Average 30 for sure.

So we all made mistakes, right? But owning up to them. It's the right thing to do. But we all know Degree Cool Rush deodorant well. Last year they changed the formula and it did not go over well with the fans. The grease, whole thing. It turns up sweat and other protection when you turn up the effort. And good thing it does because Cool Rush fans really turned up the effort to bring back the OG formula. One guy even started online petition and degree listen they admitted they effed up and are bringing back that OG Cool Rush scent back. And it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. It's back at Walmart, Target and other stores for under $4. There's a reason why it's been the number one men's antiperspirant for the last decade. It's the same reason why people are not happy when the recipe was changed. So listen, if you've never tried, it might be a good time to try. See what the fuss is about.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Head to your local Walmart or Target and try the OG degree Cool Rush for yourself.

[Tito]

Hi, it's Colin from the Colin Coward Podcast. That would make sense that I would be the host of the Colin Coward Podcast. I mean, that's the way I see it.

I was just telling my wife the other day, Tito's is the one vodka. It has a completely distinct taste. Been my go to for years so I like to keep it simple. Tito's Soda, one lime, lot of ice, refreshing, easy summer, winter, spring. Totally versatile. Always works. Listen, baseball season's here. Your team's going to play 162 games. A perfect time to kick back with some Tito's. It's what I pour. You should too. Distilled and bottled by 5th Generation Inc. Austin, Texas 40% alcohol by volume. Savor responsibly.

[DJ Wells]

MLB, man, let's get to it. Oreo shut out The Rangers yesterday, 6 to 0. Belt to ass situation. The Braves, okay. Took care of the Mets, one of the best teams in baseball. You know the vibes. 3 to 2. The Reds beat the sleeves off the Yankees, who have been struggling this last couple of weeks. If you want to make some money, take the under on the Yankees.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Don't. Don't listen to me though. Because every time I say take the under on somebody, they start winning. I tell everybody, bet against the Rockies. Rockies. We only three game win streaks.

[DJ Wells]

Messed up a church's money for sure, man. Shout out to my D backs, man. Beat the sleeves with a shutout of the White Sox yesterday. 10. 0. Wrote a clip. Mante Peppin Smith went crazy yesterday. Back to back dangers.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They get a clip. Braves don't get a clip.

[DJ Wells]

They don't do like this.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Look how empty the stadium. Nobody care.

[Moog]

That's crazy. Ain't nobody pulling up the Chicago White size game.

[DJ Wells]

If you look at that score, there's no reason they should be spending money for that trash. Come on, man.

[Moog]

Too hot.

[DJ Wells]

Go to work, man.
