Good Morning. Happy Friday Special Edition. 5:20 in the morning, man, here to keep you updated. Happy NBA Trade rumors, man. Coach T. Had a little bit spillover from last night's battle, man. We locked in though, for sure, man. You all right, everybody. I know we ain't used to working on Friday over here, man.
Bishop Bendis
We have a big week.
DJ Wells
My name is DJ Wells. I'm the host, joined this morning by my two brothers. To my left, Bishop Bendis. To my right, my brother T. Fellas, good morning. How y'all doing this Friday?
Bishop Bendis
What's up, family?
T
I'm chilling, bruh. A lot of stuff going on in the league last night, bruh.
DJ Wells
Come on, man. Yesterday was a very, very interesting day in the NBA, man. Let's just talk about a couple Moves that took place yesterday that we getting this talk about on the show because it happened after that. Marcus Smart going to the Wizards. Whoever ESPN decided to put that graphic up of Chris Middleton and Marcus Smart going to the Wizards. You need to be suspended for at least two days because you was out of pocket.
T
I mean, the Wizards.
DJ Wells
No, the Wizards do not deserve that type of a graphic.
T
I don't think they want to suck, though.
DJ Wells
Nah. They say they kept him, but they got Marcus Smart, they got Brogdon. They said they want to have consummate professionals in that locker room to help develop their young talent. That's what the goal is going for next year.
Bishop Bendis
Oh, yeah, definitely next year.
T
Yeah. I mean, they definitely. The young talent damn near weak, though.
DJ Wells
You sleep on the young talent.
T
Yeah. Jordan Poole. Nice. Yeah.
DJ Wells
I mean, he proving him. I wouldn't count.
T
I think he part of the veteran crew they got, but everybody else damn near trying to figure it out. I like Billaba.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he hard. Yeah, it's hard.
Bishop Bendis
That was wild.
T
What was his name?
DJ Wells
Never called him.
Bishop Bendis
Trying to say his name. That's wild, bro. That's wild.
DJ Wells
Bilal, bro.
T
I don't know the other part. Shit, we fuck up everybody name.
Bishop Bendis
I know, but you wouldn't know. You went crazy with him. You went crazy.
T
It's only right. It's a 520. It's Friday. Shit.
DJ Wells
Forever, bro. For sure. Yeah. That roster is wicked.
T
Yeah. I don't like.
DJ Wells
I know. I like Bub Carrington, too, as a guard. But, I mean, they got 85 guards in that team. I think a lot needs to be seen from Alex Sar for us to get too excited about that.
T
I wasn't excited anyway.
DJ Wells
Yeah. But I think that, you know, this is probably put in place for them to look like they have a stable, you know, operation for them to potentially get Cooper flagged. Cause the way they was looking this year, the NBA was not about to let them get Cooper.
T
They got. What's the white guy from Gonzaga? Corey.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Corey Hispert.
T
Yeah. I think he decent, though.
DJ Wells
Okay.
T
When I watch they team him and Bilal, I be like, yeah, these two, they could be something. You know what I mean?
DJ Wells
Okay.
T
But they got some cool veterans now, man. With Marcus, Chris, Alex Lynn. Yeah, they got some cool vets. It's like, I hope they gonna mix them in with the young guys. I hope they just ain't gonna play all the. Start all the young guys and then bring these old heads off the bench. They gotta be for real.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
Like, let's just mix them in, bro. Like, let's have a real team. But all this starting the sad kids and working with them. Mix it in. Let Marcus Smart start at the point. Let Bud come off the bench, man. You know what I mean?
DJ Wells
If that's what y'all on next year, if y'all are committed to actually keeping these vets on this team, then, yeah, let them play. Cause y'all really should free them. They deserve to go be on contenders at this point in their careers. Y'all just holding them hostage, man.
T
But, like, mix the young guys and don't just put them in the fire like that. The young boy, the young point guard needed a. He needed a learning lesson. Yeah, like, he needed to learn from a couple vets just throwing him in the fire. I mean, cool. But he having a rough rookie year.
DJ Wells
Yeah, for sure. How you feel about them outside of that move? I see they got a lot of assets. Well, not a lot, but a couple assets. Look like they're trying to do something positive. It looks a lot better than we've been seeing from the Wizards. I mean, I ain't giving them too much credit. Cause this was just one trade, but.
Bishop Bendis
This is a dead season, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
I don't care about the Wizards. I just pray they don't get Cooper Flag.
DJ Wells
You don't want Cooper to go to D.C. well, this is what all this look like. Structural organization changes all that. But we'll see. Your man D. Hunt went to the Cavs.
T
Yeah, I called that one, man. I hate to see him go, but he in a better situation right now. I mean, he fit that team perfectly. They needed another scoring wing. He having a hell of a year. And he can guard, too. He can guard his position most definitely. I think he gonna fit in perfect with that team.
DJ Wells
And shout out to the Cavs, they got that deal done with not giving up people. We thought that was gonna have to give fleece in that situation.
T
I mean, I hate to see my boy George had to go down to the A man, figure shit out. Caris Levert.
DJ Wells
Fuck them second round picks. We don't care.
T
The Cavs are in, though. They trying to win.
Bishop Bendis
Cavs raw, bro.
T
The thing is, see, they played Boston in that thing in that game right before the trade deadline. They seen it like, we need another wing.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
And we talked about it on the show. Wings are what you need in the league right now to be successful. It's a copycat league. Everybody see how Boston got all these wings? Cavs was like, we gotta match up. And they made a good move. Man, it was either him or Cam Johnson. I think that was gonna fit that team perfectly. And he did it.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah, that's raw.
DJ Wells
And they got him for a lot cheaper than what they got Cam Johnson for. I think. I think that did a little too much. They was feeling themselves so much.
T
Yeah. And that's the same. They basically the same player to me and Hunt, probably a little more physical, you know what I mean, than Cam Johnson. Cam Johnson probably could shoot a little better, but I wouldn't even say that. Cause D Hunt, he damn near 40 from the 3.
Bishop Bendis
But, like 20 or not?
T
Yeah, he like 20, but I think it was a great trade for the Cavs.
DJ Wells
Okay, Shout out to the super. Chat. Keem Chilla said, y'all seen Jimmy Brothers said championship coming soon. He is most definitely out of pocket. Yeah, that's what he gotta say. Cause he plays.
T
They don't got enough over there.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah, I like that, though. Cause that mean he gonna. He about to turn up.
DJ Wells
Oh, Jimmy about to hoop. Yeah.
T
I mean, I done seen Jimmy turn some shit around. I ain't gonna lie.
Bishop Bendis
I love that.
T
When I got to the T Wolves, we was ass. And when Jimmy got there, we went to the playoffs, so.
DJ Wells
Respect.
Bishop Bendis
Nah, I feel that.
T
I mean, to have Steph Curry and Draymond Green, two Champions, hall of Famers. He could turn some shit around, though.
DJ Wells
They could lock in and make something shake for sure.
T
Yeah, man. Did they get anybody else?
Bishop Bendis
Nah, they ain't getting nobody. Got rid of.
DJ Wells
Nah, they got under that apron. That's what they was on Boyz was trying to get. They ain't trying to pay that tax fee, man. That's really what a lot of these moves was about. Some teams trying to get better. Everybody else is like, shit, we ain't winning the chip. We ain't about to pay all this money for nothing.
T
Yeah, I feel that.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that roster is a little wicked.
T
Yeah, I ain't really sold on that roster, but watching them play last night. They had Jimmy Butler. That'd be a decent team.
Bishop Bendis
I ain't sold, though.
T
Yeah, they'll be okay. They ain't gonna be. They five, six, that team win the championship.
Bishop Bendis
Gotta have different conversations about Jimmy Butler. This team.
DJ Wells
If that team gets to the conference finals, we gotta have a different conversation about Jimmy Butler.
T
But they five, six, seven in the west to me.
DJ Wells
And, yeah, that make too much noise at best.
Bishop Bendis
Oh, yeah. They can get in the play, and they can sneak in and play somebody.
T
They can make get all the way to the fifth seed.
DJ Wells
All it takes Is a five game win streak.
T
Yeah, they can get.
DJ Wells
That's a lot to ask.
T
Oh, they can catch the Wolves for sure.
DJ Wells
Damn. But, hey, man, back to the Hawks. In the situation, you feel like, how you feel about this move? I know you didn't want this to happen, but with some of the moves yesterday, they trending upward. They went with the untalent. Like, what y'all got going on, man.
T
Honestly, I couldn't tell you.
DJ Wells
Okay.
T
I don't know what we're doing. What's the plan? Maybe we're trying to get a draft pick.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Cause I don't. Yeah.
T
Cause maybe we tanking for Cooper.
DJ Wells
Shit, y'all don't own y'all draft pick next year, though. They go to San Antonio.
T
I'm saying, that's what. I don't know what we doing. I honestly don't.
DJ Wells
I think they trying to get Young Zach some minutes. Like, he got.
T
I mean, he was gonna get that anyway. Deyon was coming off the bench. When he was starting, we kept Clint.
DJ Wells
You traded. Oh, boy. Bogey.
T
Yeah, we got rid of Bogey. Got Terrence.
DJ Wells
Man, I like Bones Holland down there.
T
Bones Holland. I mean, he might get an opportunity to play, but it's just like, there's no moves that really move the needle for us. I think at this point, Trae Young gonna get a little frustrated. Like, you take my second leading scorer, basically, and send him to a championship contending team, and then lead me over here to draft. Like, what we doing?
DJ Wells
Yeah. And as soon as you say it's about the draft pick situation, I think they draft picks is gonna come from Trayton. Trae Young, that's where they rebuild. Is about to come from Trae and Trey Young. Cause ain't no way you can do this to him next year, bro. Cause like you said, it's already hard to get free agents down there, and.
T
He don't got nothing. Like, there's nothing to work with. No offense to everybody else, but, like, swapping out Terrence Mann for D. Hunt. I ain't got the. Like, what we doing?
DJ Wells
Yeah.
Bishop Bendis
Basically, Trey Young need to go play with goddamn power.
T
Like, who are starting five, right? Who are starting five right now, Trae.
DJ Wells
Young would be a starting one at your two. That's tough.
T
Was Terrence Mann.
DJ Wells
Terrence Mann at the two is wicked.
T
Who the three? I mean, is he the three?
Bishop Bendis
I mean, free trade, bro.
DJ Wells
Carolus and Burt, they are starting two.
T
Okay, so now we start with Careless Burt. Your three is definitely gonna have to be Terrence Mann.
DJ Wells
Terrence Mann That's Jalen Johnson.
T
Jalen Johnson, big O. Jalen Johnson out.
DJ Wells
Oh, I'm saying like hyper.
T
Oh, you saying, oh, no. Well, Zachariah Young Zack gonna start. You know what I mean?
DJ Wells
Yeah, big.
T
Oh, big O gonna start for sure. Yeah. I just don't.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
Now Trey the magic. Trey to the Magic.
DJ Wells
I'm something.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah, yeah, send Trey.
DJ Wells
I'm something.
Bishop Bendis
Send Trey to play with Paolo. Bring. What's your point?
T
Going up there.
Bishop Bendis
Bring Suggs to the A.
T
They probably like Suggs more than Trey down there.
Bishop Bendis
Let Suggs and Jalen Johnson figure that out down there.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
And they probably like Suggs more in Orlando.
DJ Wells
And every first round fucking pick you got for the next three years, that's they on. They're like, yeah, we need a pg. We need another young wing and we need pics.
Bishop Bendis
Just saying.
DJ Wells
And if I'm Orlando fucking picks.
T
You don't think they like Sugg more down there than Trey? They like a defensive minded team.
Bishop Bendis
They do.
T
Big guards, big wings.
Bishop Bendis
It's okay to have a big offensive weapon.
T
I like how he said that.
DJ Wells
Hey, for real, like, what's the best defense?
T
You don't think he take away from Franz and Pablo?
Bishop Bendis
No, no. Cause now I feel like Trey, he was trying to play the real PG on this team, but niggas kept getting injured, shit wasn't working out. He can go do that. That way when people go down, he can go, oh shit, I can get 30, my guys is out. But while they in there, bro, he can be that 18 and 11. It's more effective.
DJ Wells
Let's look at this roster.
Bishop Bendis
He's more of a weapon than Jalen Suggs.
DJ Wells
Most definitely.
T
I agree.
DJ Wells
Look at that roster. If you would put Trey. I mean, obviously you gotta lose a couple people, but imagine Trey Young, that started with KCP next to him. Both the wings in the Big. That's dangerous, bro.
T
That's a fire squad.
DJ Wells
That's dangerous.
Bishop Bendis
I was just talking to my brother about that. I'm like, yeah, bro, that I fuck with that.
T
They had to trade Jalen Sugg, Jonathan Isaac.
Bishop Bendis
Oh, get rid of Isaac.
DJ Wells
Most definitely a couple.
Bishop Bendis
He can go to one of them mega churches in Atlanta.
DJ Wells
He'll tap right in them shoes. He was selling right out in Atlanta.
T
Nah, he gotta go to a white church.
Bishop Bendis
Nah, he wanna go. Who? The Lord is reigning, bro.
T
He took it.
DJ Wells
Nah, I don't think Jonathan Isaac is Baptist by any means, but it ain't.
Bishop Bendis
The father y'all say. Jonathan Isaac Catholic.
T
Yeah, sure.
DJ Wells
Respect for sure. Shout out to Saturday Church apostolic.
Bishop Bendis
He definitely not apostolic.
DJ Wells
They would have had denim on them shoes.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah, he'll run away. That's king of diamonds. He run away.
DJ Wells
All right, let's move on from that. Kevin Porter to the Bucks. How you like that situation?
T
They gave him a scoring punch off the bench, but I don't know if he is. He can score.
DJ Wells
Yeah. They wasn't playing no more anyway.
T
Yeah, I mean, I think he can score Marchant, but, yeah, I mean, that was an easy trade for them. I mean, that's a good asset, bro. Marjon wasn't playing.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
That wasn't rocking the bench anyway. But Kevin Porter, you know, we all know he could score a bunch of score in the league before, so he can come off and give him a scoring punch. Yeah. I don't know how much they gonna use them.
DJ Wells
Let's be honest.
T
Yeah. Interesting to see how Doc use them. But he definitely gives you a scoring punch off the bench. Well, capabilities to score.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Yeah, he getting the game. Second unit start doing all that dribbling, Giannis gonna be like, ayo, big dawg.
T
Ah, facts. You don't get it. Ain't no ISO work with Giannis.
DJ Wells
You see d him, it's your nigga right now, Chalaq.
T
That's a fact.
DJ Wells
Giannis ain't playing none of them games. That's crazy. But that was interesting. I mean, they weren't rocking with him, but that was an aggressive move, I would say. Also Sacramento, Indianapolis own Jake Larivia with Eastside. Outside man to the Sacramento Kings. What are they trying to do? Man?
Bishop Bendis
Nothing.
T
I don't know.
DJ Wells
They out here making moves like they aggressive football something. But the trade deadline is over, so they are stuck with this roster for the rest of the year.
T
I don't like it, Jake.
Bishop Bendis
It didn't even matter, Jake.
T
They didn't even pick up his option, so I knew they was gonna move on from him. I mean, shit, hopefully he can find his way out there, but I don't really know the setup.
DJ Wells
Okay.
T
I don't know what they got going on in Sacramento. Yeah.
DJ Wells
Shout out to Fox was just like, yes, y'all need supports. But I was a problem, right? Yeah. Talk your shit.
T
Yeah.
DJ Wells
In the tweet. Yeah. You see all this confusion going on. Don't say shit about my name. Leave me alone. I don't play for y'all no more. Yeah, I think San Antonio was greasy for Denver. Even allowing him to wear two down there, he switched to four. But were they out of pocket?
Bishop Bendis
No, they're not out of Pocket, bro.
T
Nah, bro. It's like pg, bro. Nobody respect that number.
DJ Wells
But Kawhi put. That's Kawhi Leonard, though, bro. He put a banner up.
T
Has anybody wore 13 in Indiana yet?
DJ Wells
That's a good question. I wouldn't be surprised with this.
T
I know. It's just the way you leave. Like, if you leave on bad terms, it ain't really no fixing it. Like, only Orlando fixed it with Shaq and Toronto with Vince.
DJ Wells
Oh, yeah.
T
But they was, like, polarizing figures. Like, Kawhi Leonard was cold, but he ain't Tim Duncan.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah. He not polarized.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
He ain't Ganu or Tony Parker to them. You know what I mean? And the same thing with pg you ain't Reggie. You was cold, but he was cold. But they ain't solidified in Indy like that.
DJ Wells
When he was just like. I ain't never got a video. What? Come on, family.
T
That should tell you a lot.
DJ Wells
Come on, bro. You knew what time it was.
Bishop Bendis
But the page was out of pocket, though, y'all. Right. But the page is out of pocket for not making him a. I don't know why he give a fuck that much. But a tribute video, bro, he deserved one.
T
I mean, he was here for, what, seven years?
Bishop Bendis
Yeah. He did his thing here.
DJ Wells
I mean, I don't disagree with what you're saying, but if you're looking at that arena, Jermaine O'Neal ain't up there.
T
Nah.
DJ Wells
So if Jo ain't up there and that's how they would with everybody, then I. Then that's it. If they was honoring everybody else and just slighted him. All right, that's weird.
T
I mean, they don't fuck with nobody.
Bishop Bendis
Just because you a fuck nigga all the way around the board. I mean, it's right.
DJ Wells
I believe in consistency.
Bishop Bendis
Get J. O up there, too. Y'all rocket, bro.
T
Deserve to be up there 1,000%.
DJ Wells
I'm rolling.
Bishop Bendis
Oh, no, bro. Shout out to Mel Daniels and all the. The past players before, but y'all ain't fuck with them too pg.
T
PG Deserved to get a video at least, bro. The way he left was just like, I don't want to be here. Like, I hate the potholes. Like, I can't drive my Ferrari type shit. Like, you know, blue collar city, like, us.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Midwest, we wasn't feeling that stunt shit. Nah.
T
N. That's some Cali shit. We wasn't fucking with there.
DJ Wells
Like, ah, now I go drive in Lamborghini in Oklahoma City. That's what they was saying. See the potholes out there.
T
He was like, yeah, go to. I need to go to la. You know, nap. And they weren't with that. They like, what? Hey, burning these jerseys.
Bishop Bendis
We don't drive Ferraris in that one anyway.
DJ Wells
Get you a Chevy, my boy. You better get you a pickup truck on me.
T
So they was mad. So it was just the way he left that they made him feel away. But shout out to my boy, man.
DJ Wells
Yeah, man. Hey, listen, they. They've tied you on the Internet to Hood Shafino, man. Unfortunately, our boy got waved by the Jazz. Damn. Hopefully we can bounce back, man. Have a good summer league somewh where.
Bishop Bendis
Y'All be speaking on, right?
T
I just knew that.
DJ Wells
But we did not trade that, man. That was Denny A and Rob Palinka.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah, yeah, I did, y'all.
T
I ain't gonna lie.
DJ Wells
I'm definitely a PA Back door for that.
Bishop Bendis
Definitely.
T
Denny A. I seen Hood Shafino at iu. I just knew, like, he wasn't ready for the league. Ain't no disrespect. And he got thrown on the Lakers.
DJ Wells
Yeah, I'm gonna say that's the tough part.
T
I just seen he wasn't NBA ready. Like he need another year of college.
DJ Wells
Shit. Go overseas and kill, bro.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
T
I mean, but shit, fuck it. You made the dream. You made to the league. That's the dream.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
T
And you probably gonna get picked up. I mean, he a young. He got potential. Yeah. What he A 65 guard?
Bishop Bendis
Damn near.
T
I mean, but damn.
DJ Wells
Known for a nice jump shot as well.
T
If Utah, you can't get that. You know, Utah rebuild mode.
DJ Wells
Yeah. If you ain't getting no love down.
T
There, it's gonna be tough summer league, man.
DJ Wells
He's gotta go kill somer league, unfortunately.
T
Who else is sad that might give him a chance?
DJ Wells
Oh, it's a lot of teams that's. Yeah. Need some help, but I don't know if that guard position. Wicked, bro.
T
Pelicans. Yeah. Somebody else just picked somebody up on a 10 day. Charlotte just picked up.
DJ Wells
Oh, Alpha Payton got a 10 day back with the Pelicans.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
T
So Hood Shaf. Nah, he got it with Charlotte.
DJ Wells
The Hornets. It's the Hornets.
T
Yeah.
DJ Wells
Oh, damn. My bad. I thought it was the Pelicans, like.
T
So Hood Shafino might be able to get a, you know, work his way through.

Yeah, we was trying to figure out what this I mean the Hornets was gonna do about a big so they must have had that in the works to get Nurt.
DJ Wells
Yeah, that's a nasty plan.
T
Yeah, I don't like I would have kept Mark Williams. I ain't gonna lie for sure.
DJ Wells
They was just happy to do business.
T
With the they didn't want to pay Mark Williams. Well, he was gonna be old like he was gonna get a good payday.
DJ Wells
And they, like you said, they had injury concern as well. They had a report yesterday during the TNT broadcast about that.
T
Yeah, but Nurk, he don't move shit. He gonna be out there wilding with Lamelo on him. Yeah, sidestep threes and shit.
DJ Wells
Ooh, him and Grant Williams in the same locker room. Annoying.
Bishop Bendis
What's up man? Have fun. Shit.
T
Yeah, Nurk, just be cool and try to get another bag.
DJ Wells
Yeah man, just chill out. May get you another payday. Let's go through some of these transactions that's taking place near the trade deadline. Jimmy Butler obviously is a Golden State warrior. The Lakers got Luka and Mark Williams. The Bucs are Kyle Kuzma and the Wizards, man, they got Middleton and Smart. The Mavs got AD And Kayla Martin. And the Hawks, man, they ain't getting nobody. They gave up two of their rotation.
T
Players, Charis and Minivan. George and Young for sure.
DJ Wells
I ain't mad at Terrence Mann, though. Terrence Mann.
T
Terrence, man, he just Bones Highland.
DJ Wells
He's an odd man out over there in LA for sure. With all the wings they got there.
T
Yeah.
DJ Wells
I don't know what the Hawks gonna do, man. We will see.
Bishop Bendis
Lakers is A, A.
T
He gave Lakers.
DJ Wells
Lakers A plus.
T
I think the Lakers got an A on they trades too.
DJ Wells
Yeah, the Lakers got an A plus.
T
Warriors.
Bishop Bendis
I give it an A.
T
The warriors getting Jimmy A. Yeah, I'm.
DJ Wells
Gonna give it a B. I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it a B. Minus. Yeah, give it a B minus.
T
I'm give it a B. Because I feel like you should have got Jimmy in something else, like you need another piece. But I'm gonna give it a B.
DJ Wells
I agree they should have probably did another situation with that as well. But also, they did not have to give up the young talent that we thought they was gonna have to give up to get Jimmy.
Bishop Bendis
So that's why I give them the grade. I don't feel I'm showing respect.
T
I'm gonna give it a B. I'm gonna say it's solid. Cause I just feel like they needed one more piece with Jimmy.
DJ Wells
But we ain't even mentioned Dennis. Dennis went to the Pistons.
T
Yeah, I was just about to say it's an underrated.
Bishop Bendis
That's a funny ass pic of him going around. Twitter boy, I can't wait to show y'all.
T
I'm saying that's a. That's a silent like. That's a quiet great pickup for the Pistons.
DJ Wells
He fits that team perfectly, man.
T
A little annoying guard come off the bench after Cade cutting him and Paul's.
DJ Wells
They can play together because you know what I'm saying, Cade is a little bit bigger. So you can move him to the two of the wing. Dennis is a proven vet.
T
That's one of the perfect pickups. I ain't gonna lie. It's an underrated pickup for the Detroit Pistons. Detroit actually got a good thing going over there, so hopefully he can sign back with them. They can build some rapport, but that's a good pickup for them.
DJ Wells
They gotta figure out what they wanna do with Jalen Durham.
T
Keep them. Fuck we gonna do?
DJ Wells
I mean, they.
T
They had him. I seen people constantly.
DJ Wells
They shopped him all Year. I don't think they feel as confident about him as they do other players on that team.
T
I mean, I love him. I think they need to stay put. I know they like Isaiah Stewart a.
DJ Wells
Lot over there, but, yeah, I would love to have a Jalen Dern on my team, but, yeah, they chopped him all year. Also, we almost had your boy, Kobe White. He was almost a Pacer. It's a little bit of a conversation.
T
Oh, yeah, it was in trade.
Bishop Bendis
Thank God.
DJ Wells
I was wondering what was going. But we got to move on the wings. Cause our off season is going to be real wicked. Cause if they going to try to pay Miles, it's going to get ugly. They're going to have to move either OB or Neesmith. They're going to have to consolidate the roster next year. Because of the taxes. Because we definitely got two max players.
T
They going to trade TJ McConnell? Yeah.
DJ Wells
Damn. TJ Madison spearmint over.
T
Nah, I mean, TJ is a valuable. I can get an asset for him. He making about nine. He just signed the extension. Right.
DJ Wells
Two more years. I believe he's on that deal, too. But I'm gonna tell you right now, if we didn't trade for Kobe white cause of TJ McConnell, I'm gonna be pissed and shout out to TJ Nash.
T
But Kobe White is they gonna have to move on from him. Cause he's a valuable pick. But like, y'all still got Nimhard and all these dogs.
Bishop Bendis
I don't even know who will come play with Tyrese.
DJ Wells
A lot of people don't. I mean, shit. Like you said, it's an opportunity to come hoop. On this team, we pass the ball.
T
They pass the ball. You gonna get a chance. That's the beautiful thing about the Pacers. You gonna get a damn chance for sure, man.
DJ Wells
Stay tuned. Let's go through some games last night, man. His story. Game from Bron yesterday. Old man Bron got the dub yesterday over the warriors. He had 42, 17, eight. Brown was hooping yesterday and Steph was killing two with 37.
T
Classic duel. He started off bad, started off booty. That's how good Steph is. That's how good Braun is. They give us classic moments every time they hit the floor together. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, bro.
DJ Wells
Cause even after the Christmas Day game, like, everybody was looking forward to this game. And they definitely didn't disappoint. Even though moving around and stuff with the trades.
T
Basketball is so easy for LeBron.
DJ Wells
I was just watching.
T
I'm like this shit like a joke.
Bishop Bendis
Like, he know too much, bro. Know the game in and out.
T
It was too easy. Like, I seen one time, I look at the small stuff, like just being a coach and then you just watch people like him. He set up pick and roll and popped somebody. They kind of dragged the pick and roll a little bit. And he did a late backdoor cut. Cause naturally your instincts, when somebody, if you guarding a pick and roll and you the point guard and they say switch, your natural instincts is go to the three point line. Like, they switch you automatically on turn thinking the person popped at the three point line. He backdoor cut, got the layup, and I don't even know if he got fouled or not, but he just made the layup and it's just like, damn, he good at basketball.
DJ Wells
Cerebral.
T
Like, damn. He knew this dude was gonna run back to the three point line. He cutting back door, getting his layup. And I was like, shit.
Bishop Bendis
That's that mental shit, though, bro. That's the iq.
T
That late cut he did. I'm just like, man, Bron's just so special when it comes to basketball. Cause I'm thinking if I was the point guard and I had to switch, I would have ran back to that three point line. Like, they would have been like, red, red, switch, switch, switch. I would have turned, went to that three point line. He would have been dunking the ball too.
DJ Wells
Like, it would have been on the mixtape. Unfortunately, Brian and MJ, only two people ever to score 40 at 40, man, that's crazy.
Bishop Bendis
Bron on the Wizards. I mean, MJ on the Wizards.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Not on this Wizards team, though.
Bishop Bendis
Damn, MJ was low key. Cold too. Not this. This crazy, Bron. Crazy. MJ used to hoop on N, bro.
DJ Wells
Nah, mj, the Wizards, I mean, it wasn't the joint we knew, but he was still hooping, bro. The old age.
T
He still averaged 20.
DJ Wells
Yeah, he had no business after 20 then, bro.
Bishop Bendis
Let's kill it.
DJ Wells
Jordan was just chilling, bro. He was hanging with the Wayne's brothers. He wasn't taking basketball serious, bro. I gotta own the team to come get y'all to show up, bro. Fuck it, bro. I hope, bro. That's what he was on. That was open gym. He averaged 20 out there yelling to rip Hamilton and shit.
T
His worst, one of his worst years is a nigga.
DJ Wells
26 and 4 is a terrible year for MJ.
T
Terrible. I would have loved to have those sets.
Bishop Bendis
Nigga, that's a $200 million nigga down there.
T
I swear to God. You know what? I've been Doing? If I ever. They've been up, he was averaging 20 and 6. What I'm getting 150.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
T
Sign a new deal. 150.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
DJ Wells
We wouldn't back up.
Bishop Bendis
Lamborghini T. This wasn't even.
DJ Wells
Yeah, yeah. He was playing. Yeah. He had to.
T
Yeah.
Bishop Bendis
He didn't have nobody else, bro.
DJ Wells
Yeah. They was trying to fill them seats up. He had ownership of the team. He was like, I gotta be here.
T
Lamborghini Teague. I would have been Paul George.
Bishop Bendis
That's why he's speaking shitty when players don't play. He got every right to. Cause he literally played in them every game.
DJ Wells
Yeah. Look at his career mode. Jordan showed up.
T
He played 82 games. A couple games. I mean, a couple years.
DJ Wells
One, two, three.
Bishop Bendis
More. More than that, nigga.
T
Nine years he played 82 games.
Bishop Bendis
And that's 17.
DJ Wells
I was gonna say he was going to the finals every year except for the first four. And he was still going deep in the playoffs in.
Bishop Bendis
That's a different bro.
DJ Wells
Shout out to mj, man.
T
That's why.
DJ Wells
Nah.
Bishop Bendis
That's why he say what he say, bro.
T
But that's why he the greatest.
DJ Wells
Yeah.
T
Nine years of 82 games. Nigga. Just imagine if he would have just played 60. He could have played four more years.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
DJ Wells
At a high level.
T
You know what I mean? Let me just miss. 30 games a year.
DJ Wells
And the baseball year fucked him up, too. But it still bounced back. That's crazy, man. Shout out to Brian, man. Make it history, as always. Ayid went crazy yesterday. My boy scored 41. Got the dub over the rocks yesterday. 127, 114. Yeah. Him and Dylan Brooks, back and forth. Sh got wicked for sure. A had 41, 7, 6. And, man, Jalen Gribb was hooping as well with 28, 6 and 5. That gun had 16, 10, 7.
Bishop Bendis
Dylan Brooks could never.
DJ Wells
Don't poke the beer.
T
Leave that bear alone.
DJ Wells
Hey, he made history yesterday as well. Most 40 points in franchise history already. Yes, sir. He's the youngest to make a thousand threes as well.
Bishop Bendis
Man, we on our way to being the greatest Timberwolf ever, bro.
DJ Wells
Damn.
Bishop Bendis
It's a long journey. But we choose to feel. We choose our way to feel.
T
I don't think it's that hard.
Bishop Bendis
It is.
DJ Wells
Think he gonna pass KG that easy?
T
Yeah.
DJ Wells
I'm not gonna say like. It ain't like he incapable. I said that easy, bro.
Bishop Bendis
That's tough, bro. KG's cold, bro.
T
KG Cole.
DJ Wells
KG got MVP up there, didn't he?
Bishop Bendis
KG's on top of Mortal Kombat.
DJ Wells
And he got to Western Cop find me. We know that he already got there too.
T
But I'm saying that mvp, he already did what KG did and took him. What? How long was KG there? 10 years. 12 years.
Bishop Bendis
Probably a little longer. KG didn't leave T0708.
DJ Wells
Yeah. He was in the league of 97, right?
T
He was like 10 years, 10 going on 11.
DJ Wells
Had to be just from a numerical standpoint.
T
That's the conference finals.
Bishop Bendis
Once KG got drafted in 95, I believe.
T
Yeah, 9012 years.
DJ Wells
Yeah, well, he went back at the end. I didn't count them.
T
Once he played 13 years at Timberwolves.
Bishop Bendis
Let's say he went back as a rehab coach.
DJ Wells
He was a camp Counselor.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
T
So 12 years he made to the conference finals. Once won an mvp.
Bishop Bendis
This is. I mean, I can't do it.
T
I think Ant. I think.
Bishop Bendis
I think Ant might be a lot. But Ann such a wild nigga. He'll around and leave Minnesota, bro.

DJ Wells
Yeah, that was on purpose. Chuck. I don't know who gonna play serious on your team. Wouldn't be my hoop for real. I know SGA might not go too hard pause but nah.
T
Giannis might play that team ass like they don't got nobody that they got cold in a real game. I want Chuck team in a real game. I mean obviously Shaq team is crazy.
Bishop Bendis
I'm taking Shaq team.
T
Yeah but I'm saying if I'm in a real game like Jokic about to kill Giannis and Jokic nobody to go.
DJ Wells
All right, so we here. Now, we ain't gonna disrespect none of the All Stars from kiddie team, but we just gonna go ahead and have some little fun. So if you gotta pick a starting five between Shaq team and start five between Chuck team, who you got? So you take Chuck team, you take Shaq team.
T
Okay? Obviously, we only got one guard.
DJ Wells
Two guards.
T
I'm starting Shane Donovan at the backcourt.
DJ Wells
Okay?
T
And I'm going with Jokic, Anokounmpo and Wemby. And we playing two, three. We crazy.
Bishop Bendis
I'm starting at five. Right there.

T
Then SGA gonna murder Steph. Nah.
DJ Wells
Mm.
Bishop Bendis
Steph gonna get his shit off, too.
T
And the thing to make it good.
Bishop Bendis
Like, my team better all around than yours for sure.
T
But we got cool matchups. Like we play zone on y'all. For real. We so tall, bro.
Bishop Bendis
With Giannis, we gonna shoot y'all out of there.
T
Woo hoo. KD and Steph.
Bishop Bendis
Steph and Jason Tatum don't get it fucked up. Our wing presence is heavy.
T
We posting, though.
Bishop Bendis
What are you doing? Three, two.
T
We dropping the ball on that block. Who going, Giannis?
Bishop Bendis
What do you mean, who going? We'll zone y'all.
T
You definitely can.
Bishop Bendis
Y'all have to shoot that, but we.
T
Gonna throw it in the post regardless. On that zone or not.
Bishop Bendis
Double bro. Double the top, man. Drop down the hip, bro.
DJ Wells
Hey, Wimby and Giannis might be like, what the fuck do you do in that situation, bro?
T
That's all crazy.
Bishop Bendis
That's the one. That's a freaky 2004 Syracuse Jim Bacon. I agree. That is what was my boy to play with. Carmelo, he got about three of them down there.
DJ Wells
I respect it.
T
I would go with. I mean, Shaq team is obviously. You got all these hall of Famers. It'd be crazy.
Bishop Bendis
But I think we just run up and down, bro. We just put O Hill versus wat. Ah, yeah. I agree.
DJ Wells
Leroy and Super Chat was corny. His grandpappy Leroy, he said, just put the old heads versus the young niggas versus international players. This was designed.
T
It definitely was designed. It ain't nothing but international players besides Donovan and Pascal and Sagon.
Bishop Bendis
It's quiet for them.
DJ Wells
Yeah. And yeah, he skills my dog. I Don't want to see him in the All Star game. Not in.
Bishop Bendis
Oh, yeah, Team Kenny.
T
He fit in right with our zone, though.
DJ Wells
You do. Yoke might not play. You know, Yoko don't be giving damn about the All Star.
T
Nah, nah, he don't.
DJ Wells
But so, yeah, you might have to. You might have to put.
T
We put Wemby at the 5 and Pascal at the 4. 3.
DJ Wells
Or you could sub in cat.
Bishop Bendis
Y'all bench mid.
T
Ooh, you sub cat in too.
DJ Wells
Come on, Kat. Giannis and Wimby, two big shooters.
Bishop Bendis
What, y'all too slow, bro.
T
We zoning Steph.
Bishop Bendis
He get a little tired. Throw James in there.
T
That's fine.
Bishop Bendis
Throw James.
T
Fuck.
Bishop Bendis
Get Dame in there. We good.
T
Freaky.
Bishop Bendis
Jalen, come on in the game. Jalen. Jalen is better than everybody down there by a long shot.
T
We zoning him.
Bishop Bendis
Jalen better than Donovan Mitchell, Pascal and Sedan.
DJ Wells
That's debatable. I'm sleep.
T
That's debatable.
Bishop Bendis
Sleep on what?
T
Donovan Mitchell.
DJ Wells
I'm sleep.
Bishop Bendis
Jalen Brown is definitely better than Donovan Mitchell.
T
I ain't never seen Jalen Brown lead his team.
DJ Wells
I'm not going, bro.
T
He ain't never been the guy.
DJ Wells
The guy guy.
Bishop Bendis
Acting like Jalen Brown MVP was Iguodala mvp. Are we acting like that? Are we acting like that?
T
But shit, if I'm playing with you talking about league, if I'm playing with Jrue Holiday, Jason Tatum.
Bishop Bendis
There you go.
T
Four or five.
Bishop Bendis
They should have gave it to one of them.
T
Derrick White. No, I'm just saying.
Bishop Bendis
Look at what Jay Z say, nigga, if you made me, nigga, go make another one.
DJ Wells
Make another hole, Dane, bro, and I'll.
Bishop Bendis
Tell you another one then.
DJ Wells
If you put Donovan Mitchell next to Jason Tatum and Drew Holiday, you're going to see murder your better score than Jayla Brown. Do we agree there?
Bishop Bendis
Yeah, the defense.
DJ Wells
I'm definitely going Jayla Brown, but offensively it is night and day, bro.
T
He been.
Bishop Bendis
I ain't doing night and day.
T
He been. He been the leader of.
Bishop Bendis
Mitchell is a better offensive.
T
He been the go to guy on everything he been on, bro.
Bishop Bendis
He played for the Jazz, bro.
T
Go to guy. And they was in the playoffs.
Bishop Bendis
Jesus Christ.
T
They was in the playoffs.
Bishop Bendis
Thank you for killing, bro, to save your career because they sent you to die when you got drafted.
T
Yeah, he brought him to life.
DJ Wells
Oh, bro, he got going.
T
Hang with him out of there now.
Bishop Bendis
Y'all is getting out of hand.
DJ Wells
You know I'm biased.
Bishop Bendis
Jalen Brown is for sure better than Donovan Mitchell, though.
DJ Wells
All around. I'm sleep.
T
I ain't gonna say all around defensively is crazy, bro.
Bishop Bendis
What is we doing on this? Defensively?
T
Yeah.
DJ Wells
1,000%, bro.
T
I ain't going to lie.
Bishop Bendis
See, I got an offensive package too.
DJ Wells
It ain't better than Donovan.
T
I'm not. Listen, bro, if you need a bucket.
DJ Wells
To end the game, I'm damn sure not giving that bitch to jb even though he's capable.
T
If I got Donovan right here, I'm.
DJ Wells
Swinging it to Donovan, bro. I'm sleep, man.
T
I ain't gonna lie. I like jb. I think JB cold. But he always has some guys on his team. Donovan had Ricky Rubio when the guys weren't. He had Rudy Gobert when the guys weren't for him, he had Mike Conley. And these dudes are good players. But, bro, you had. You went from it. Kimba, Kyrie, Jayson Tatum, you always had somebody take the slack off of you a little bit. You still get to do your thing. But like now Jason Tatum get the best defender every game.
Bishop Bendis
I know how.
T
You still got Porzingis, you got Derrick. Why you got Derek?
Bishop Bendis
I love jt, but I'm not disrespecting his second man, bro.
T
I'm not either. I said he cold.
DJ Wells
He cold.
Bishop Bendis
He better than that nigga.
T
Bro, we talking about somebody in the MVP, Donovan McNich.
Bishop Bendis
I mean, I bout call that nigga Donovan McNabb.
DJ Wells
Donovan McNabb better than him too.
Bishop Bendis
Donovan Mitchell. Donovan Mitchell is fucking raw. Y'all are right, bro. He is cold, bro. But all around player, bro. If you're picking Donovan Mitchell over Jaylen Brown and you're starting a team, bro, you tripping, bro.
DJ Wells
Now you waving the conversation a little bit.
Bishop Bendis
No, I ain't. If they're available, y'all gonna pick Donovan.
DJ Wells
Who's gonna be my franchise leader?
Bishop Bendis
There's gotta be no franchise leader. I'm just saying they both available on the call.
T
So if you take Donovan Mitchell off the cab and put Jaylen Brown. They had the same record.
Bishop Bendis
Yeah.
DJ Wells
No way.
Bishop Bendis
How?
DJ Wells
I don't think so.
Bishop Bendis
That Donovan Mitchell. I mean, Jalen Brown and Darius Garland is a better duo than them two.
T
I don't think so.
DJ Wells
Super chat. Please, please tell us how y'all feel in the chat. Can't wait to see these responses.
T
I think so.
DJ Wells
Great dialogue.
Bishop Bendis
It's crazy, bro.
DJ Wells

T
I think Jalen Brown is talented, but the way he play is very him. About like him.
Bishop Bendis
So you saying he Malcolm X of the NBA?
T
Nah. Wait, I don't know. What are you talking about? Yes, but, like, no.
Bishop Bendis
Martin was for the people. Malcolm was like, get buddy. Fuck bitches. If y'all coming, y'all coming.
T
No, he wasn't.
DJ Wells
The Nuggets music match yesterday, 112 to 90.
T
Jayla Brown is a great player. He's not Malcolm X. He is very. He's very selfish. No, I ain't saying he's selfish. I say he just like. The way he played is like, I'm gonna do me. I'm a kill.
DJ Wells
Yeah, let's move on that picture.
T
I say he a good player.
Bishop Bendis
That's fine, bro. Y'all pick Martin Luther King over Malcolm X, bro. Respect.
