[D.J. Wells]

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. It's 5:20 in the morning, your favorite sports show. I'm your host. My name is D.J. wells. We got a packed house this morning. We got bishop, we got Nacho 520 MOOC. Fellas, good morning.

[F]

How y'all doing?

[Bishop]

What's up?

[E]

What's happening?

[F]

What up?

[D.J. Wells]

Come on, man. The play in set the tone last night. Before we go there, man, let's talk about some updates around the sports world, man. We've been paying close attention to this man. Tennessee quarterback. Yo Nico, into the portal. It's looking like right now it ain't looking as sweet as we thought it was going to be. I know you had talked about saying where. You know, saying where the love is at. Play for the love of the game. It was reported he was trying to double up right now. It looked like his value has decreased, unfortunately. Man, I told y'all.

[E]

I see it, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

It's crazy to see this unfold. I know. Not something we wanted to be right about. But this. This is a very interesting case to watch for sure.

[E]

Wasn't he supposed to get 2 million from them? Yeah, I ain't gonna get that.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, they said that now it's being re evaluated at 1 million.

[F]

I'm like, who.

[D.J. Wells]

Who counts as the reevaluation process?

[E]

All the other teams that didn't want.

[Bishop]

You, please learn from this kid.

[F]

So you trying to go back to Tennessee?

[D.J. Wells]

No, he's in the portal. I don't know if that's on the table at all, but I know that, you know, UNC was one of the teams that was looking for him to go to, but they said we cool.

[E]

Damn.

[Bishop]

Please learn from this. This is something for the youth to learn from.

[E]

You want 4 million? Better be Tom Brady, bro.

[F]

His. His family didn't play themselves. Yeah, I heard it was. His pops was trying to kind of force the issue behind, you know, behind the scenes. And he didn't play themselves. I knew that was gonna happen, though. You gotta understand, these coaches stick together. They got a fraternity, basically. You know, they got a coaching. What you want to call it?

[D.J. Wells]

You said it. Fraternity today.

[F]

Yeah, but they gonna look out for each other before they look at anything like they want to win, but they ain't gonna let you play them.

[E]

Cause they like, if we let you do this, y'all gonna start wilding.

[F]

Yeah. Y'all gonna break loose.

[Bishop]

Yeah, that's. Listen. Yeah.

[F]

I let the Tennessee quarterback leave in the middle while we doing preseason workouts. He leave and go get 4 million Miami quarterbacks leaving.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[E]

It's up.

[F]

It's just gonna start a free for all. So they made an example out of him. That's sad because he was a talented player, but his career damn near over.

[E]

He took that two M's, bro.

[Bishop]

That's more than enough, bro.

[E]

He's good, bro.

[Bishop]

For real.

[F]

Now. He gonna be known as the player, everybody. He gonna be the example for the rest of it.

[Bishop]

That's what I'm saying.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

In college, you grown, bro. You gotta tell your dad. Hey, this is my life, bro. Relax.

[Bishop]

I got more paper than you, bro.

[E]

A lot of money, bro. You don't know how to deal with this.

[D.J. Wells]

You can't tell Your pops, I got more bread to you. That's crazy.

[E]

I would have said, bro, you gotta chill.

[Bishop]

Nobody said that, bro. I'm taking care of mama now. This my house. You take the trash out, man.

[D.J. Wells]

This my daddy house.

[E]

You disrespectful like that, bro.

[F]

Nah, he the example for, like, how you fumble the bag. Like, Maurice Claret was the example. Trying to leave school before you could.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[F]

And his NFL career was non existent. Now this dude gonna have the same thing. Not saying he can't bounce back.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[F]

He a quality player, so somebody gonna pick him up.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[F]

But this is the way to lose the bag. This is how you lose the bag right here.

[E]

They get to set his market now. For real.

[F]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Reportedly, he's in the do not contact phase in the Portal. And typically, that means, you know, I'm saying he got some things he's probably lined up with, but I would be very interested to see that final number. Obviously, we wish him the best, but, man, we don't want anybody to be an example of this. But this is definitely an example of how the portal can get wicked for sure, in the situation.

[Bishop]

Go somewhere and kill. Hopefully you go somewhere and kill pretty probably.

[E]

Yeah. Obviously.

[Bishop]

Big target on your back, though. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean?

[F]

But now you go into another competition because everybody had a starting quarterback, and you was Tennessee starting.

[Bishop]

You're not to overplay.

[F]

Yeah. You're gonna have to come in and win a job again, and everybody ain't going, bro. You know what I mean?

[D.J. Wells]

And some of them deals we, as we've been seeing, definitely have stipulations, which is kind of crazy. You're gonna start seeing those incentives getting heavier down. Like you said, them coaches, they're not trying to lose their job for people playing, bro. Yeah, most definitely. Also moving on, we talked about David Griffin, the GM for the Pelicans, losing his job. He is replaced by Joe Dumars.

[F]

My boy Joe, keep a job.

[D.J. Wells]

Come on, man. Joe keepa bag. Dumars. I think his first order of service on that team, I think they brought him in to do what they were scared to do beforehand. Time to clean house. Yep.

[E]

What's up? Where y'all want to see him at? Where y'all think Zion will be good at?

[D.J. Wells]

Man, I've seen a lot of. I've seen a lot of good scenarios. I saw one at Minnesota.

[E]

I liked Minnesota.

[D.J. Wells]

I like that.

[F]

I don't like that.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, I like.

[F]

That's too much controversy off the court.

[Bishop]

Real Blues brothers.

[D.J. Wells]

You talk about Shaq and Kobe. The real new Sha. Kobe. Oh, in the court, they gonna get it done.

[E]

They gonna have a highlight tape. Boy, they gonna be dunking.

[Bishop]

I rather go see him play with Job before Ant.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, you see him in Memphis?

[E]

Yeah, that'll be fire too.

[F]

You ain't trained Jaren Jackson for that.

[E]

Nah.

[F]

He me. Y'all shitting me. Jaren Jackson play most definitely.

[D.J. Wells]

But I know Zion gonna get 10 rebounds.

[F]

Zion don't play and Zion six five, bro. Yeah, bro. This is almost over for Zion. Like three more years.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm still 25 or 8, bro.

[F]

Yeah, bro. He is fat, but we gotta see.

[E]

Him play a whole season.

[F]

His 25 and 8 is like his.

[D.J. Wells]

Red shirt this year. Mook.

[E]

He red shirt every year, bro.

[Bishop]

Jackson averaged 22 and 5, bro.

[E]

That's good.

[D.J. Wells]

Please.

[Bishop]

He's 75.

[D.J. Wells]

He the second option.

[F]

He didn't play 65.

[Bishop]

And my numbers is better than yours.

[E]

He the second option, bro.

[F]

I play.

[Bishop]

I'm be the second option.

[F]

He probably play. I'm have 80% of the games this year.

[D.J. Wells]

Y most definitely. Yeah. His availability is definitely his best thing too.

[Bishop]

Y know Triple J is is my guy, but 2475 on 56% sure.

[E]

The number one option.

[D.J. Wells]

Swap.

[E]

He's number one option though.

[Nacho]

Swap.

[F]

Seven rebounds ain't just jumping off the screen.

[Bishop]

Send.

[F]

Send me back on my K cutting.

[E]

Him average seven rebounds is regular, bro.

[F]

And you know why he only average 7? Cuz him and K cutting him the same height.

[E]

He's 65, bro. 65 is 65. However you want to put it n.

[D.J. Wells]

So let's not that team. Any other teams. I think Zion will go in and make an immediate impact for the better.

[E]

I mean, any team he go to.

[D.J. Wells]

They going, yeah, for sure.

[E]

He moves the needle.

[D.J. Wells]

That's Zion for sure.

[E]

As long as he healthy.

[F]

I don't even know who he really can get traded to that. He really moved the needle like that though.

[D.J. Wells]

If the Hornets hunk his number one pick, it's time to trade for Zion.

[F]

Nah.

[D.J. Wells]

Lamelo and Zion, let's go.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

Crash out.

[F]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Oh, we making the playoffs.

[D.J. Wells]

We get freaking Z. Miami Super Chat Cruise Line 340 said Zion to Miami. Let the godfather of the NBA get him together. We need him.

[F]

That would not work.

[E]

I hate that, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Boy, you see the problem he had now with them beignets. You try to leave him to Miami.

[E]

He will hate every second of that, bro.

[F]

Right? It ain't even a problem with it.

[E]

Nah, he don't want to be around Pat Riley, bro. He's like, this is too much, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, I'm not even worried about Pat Riley. It's Miami I'm worried about Baziah.

[E]

Nah, nah, bro.

[F]

You can't even do nothing in Miami, bro.

[E]

He wouldn't let bro eat cookies, bro. Zo, come on, man.

[F]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Zion gonna crash out.

[E]

He's gonna crash out, bro.

[F]

Cruising my dog. Hey, you papered up gangster.

[D.J. Wells]

Hey, man, shout out to Cruise, man.

[F]

Cruz. Hey, you 520 family, bro.

[Bishop]

What's your ethnicity, bro?

[F]

Tap in every man.

[Bishop]

What's your blood?

[F]

You got one free question a week, man.

[D.J. Wells]

For sure, man. But listen, man, playback was crazy last night. We covered a hell of a game last night, man. Warriors Grizzlies came down to the N121,126 victory. Jimmy Butler playoff. Jimmy returned, baby. 38, 7 and 6. Step on crazy as well with 37, 8 and 4. D band hooped out with 30 and 6, Ja had 22 and triple J had 18. 6 and 4.

[F]

Man.

[D.J. Wells]

Let's just start straight to it, man. Jimmy Butler, man. We was wondering if he was going to see playoff. Jimmy. Yes, he's here.

[E]

This is what we've been waiting on.

[Bishop]

He was going to kill.

[E]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. I don't know what was going on with the matchups yesterday, but Zach Eddy guarding Jimmy Butler was absolutely disgusting. Let's just start there.

[Bishop]

But that was their best option, bro. I told you. It was double on a team that could guard him.

[E]

So he was the best option.

[Bishop]

I guess they sucked in the NBA that coach Zach Lock in this 40.

[D.J. Wells]

Taylor Jenkins would never.

[F]

What? Hell no. I thought they should have put Triple J on him, but yeah, that was me.

[E]

Anything other than Zach can't move, bro.

[F]

But think about Zach. Ed can't guard nobody because they play small ball. And Draymond is a screen setter for Steph.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[F]

So he run up and said, pick and rolls. Zach Eddie gonna be back. Steph gonna be lighting threes up.

[E]

Well, take a page out of Steve Kurt book. You can't play today, bro. Can't guard nobody and you not. He has 17 rebounds. But you're not scoring enough, bro. Just take him out, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he shot less than 50% yesterday.

[E]

Missing layups.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Some easy shots that he normally takes care of yesterday.

[E]

Missing dunks.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[E]

I'm like, yeah, take him out, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

And it's crazy, cuz he had 14 to 17 yesterday.

[E]

He had 17 rebounds, but he missed a lot layups. He should have had 22.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. 411 for the field.

[F]

I would have put him on BP n get 40, bro. Yeah, but you gonna have to. Let's see.

[E]

I get it.

[Bishop]

Jimmy Hart. I mean, Jimmy Harden. Jimmy Butler down The miss like 7, 8, 3.

[F]

That was wrestling. Now look at. He's talking about Jimmy Hart.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay?

[F]

WrestleMania.

[D.J. Wells]

We on the way.

[F]

To studying Jimmy Hart.

[E]

Okay?

[Bishop]

WrestleMania. This weekend, Jimmy Butler Six.

[D.J. Wells]

Ruthless misses. Crazy.

[Bishop]

I'm telling y'all, bro. I knew. I said, damn, man. They don't have nobody to guard him. When I picked them to win, I said, I don't have nobody to guard this, bro. He's capable of 30, 25. He could have got a triple double yesterday.

[F]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, man, he was just breaking them down yesterday. Like you said. Mystics free throws. It's crazy. Stephanie, 13 for 13 from the free throw line. Flawless. Draymond with one for five. BP went one for seven. And they still got that dub yesterday.

[F]

That's what I'm saying. You could have threw him on BP Yeah. You ain't never really seen him in these moments. You know what I mean? Like, it's a do or die situation.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

I mean, I gotta see. Yeah, I gotta see.

[E]

I think if John get hurt at that moment, it might have been a little different because they had momentum going.

[F]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

I definitely agree.

[F]

John rolling his eyes. Tough.

[E]

That was tough at that second.

[D.J. Wells]

Him coming back and still contributing, though, was definitely impressive, for sure. Like, he had a hell of a game yesterday, despite the injury, 50% from the field. I mean, he had 22. He did what he was supposed to do yesterday.

[Bishop]

I was just happy to see him get up.

[F]

Me, too.

[Bishop]

That was it.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Yeah. Of course.

[F]

John Morant's a really talented basketball player. Facts.

[E]

He's starting to hit jump shots a lot now, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah. Starting off the game, hitting threes. Yeah.

[Bishop]

Memphis is damn near mid, y'all.

[F]

They.

[E]

They mid.

[Bishop]

They mid, bro.

[E]

They kind of good. Desmond Baines is cold, bro.

[Bishop]

All right.

[D.J. Wells]

I love Mr. Consistency for that team, for sure. That's the band deserves all the respect.

[F]

5, 8 for 3 yesterday.

[E]

He held it down.

[F]

You know who they need? They need Mike Malone.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay.

[F]

They need Dylan Brooks, too. They had Dylan Brooks?

[Nacho]

Yeah.

[F]

I told y'all, when they didn't sign Dylan Brooks back, it was over for the Grizzlies. You said.

[E]

I like that.

[F]

They get Mike Malone. They need Dylan Brooks back in Motherwood like that. Trade back for Dylan Brooks.

[E]

Damn.

[F]

But they need him. But they need Mike Malone. Mike Malone will empower them guys, man.

[D.J. Wells]

I know it's a long shot, but I know I've Tried before. Who is like a three or another win they could get to help elevate this team next year. Obviously, Katie is a hell of a long shot, but like, we talked about a Cam Johnson or something like that, like that. What else do they need? Because, I mean, they got their solid players, but they just need something else.

[F]

They need Cam Johnson. They need Dylan Brooks. Okay, yeah, KD would be like, unbelievable, but they not about to get him. But it's just the. The Brooklyn Nets hold Cam Johnson to. To a high standard. Like, they want a lot for him. And I don't think King's ransom. Yeah, I don't know if that's going to work.

[E]

Whatever they do, they got to keep bang. I don't care, bro. He's cold, bro.

[Bishop]

Got to keep, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he holds the ship down like you said, even though throughout injuries, he's one of the most consistent players they've had for sure.

[F]

They need that, like, battery, and they need Dillon Brooks, bro. He was just like they battery in their back. He guarded the best player. He would have been guarding Steph or Jimmy or whoever it was last night, and he just used to give him that battery. Like, I don't think they realized how much they was gonna miss him. And you see how Houston playing.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

And it's like that's what they needed. It kind of sucks. They thought Marcus Smart was gonna be there for them, but it just wasn't a good fit. But damn.

[D.J. Wells]

And like you said, he took a lot of attention away from Ja. He took all the. All the bad energy came to him, and he still contributed. He gonna play hard defense and still get you 15.

[F]

Yeah, he gonna thrive in that villain role. Ja, he could be the villain, but he don't thrive in that role. Like, we love Jai being the life of the party, you know, dancing the bomb shit brought him back again. But that's what we like about ja. He do a dunk and put his hands on his head and run around. We like the exciting plays and the. The full of life, Ja. We don't like the evil job. Nah.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he's a superstar. Deserves the support. He shouldn't have to deal with the scrutiny for sure. But speaking about Jimmy Butler, what's more impressive? The fact that he took an offensive as far as scoring or just his playmaking ability with Steph?

[F]

I mean, that's Jimmy. Naturally, he had playmaker, but Jimmy, when he starts scoring the ball and he play for real, he's scary. I. I put up a question last night when we was doing playback who was scary or playoff Jimmy or playoff Kawhi? And we had some mixed reviews, and everybody went with Kawhi so easy because he won.

[E]

You got to.

[F]

But Jimmy, man, when the playoffs come around, bro, Nah, he'd be looking like the best player in the league, bro.

[E]

Playoff Jimmy is a real thing.

[D.J. Wells]

Come on, bro. From the play to the finals. That's elite, bro.

[E]

That's a real thing, bro. That's why everybody deal with this throughout the year, because they, like, when that time come, he gonna perform, bro. Yeah, it's worth it.

[D.J. Wells]

Similar to Kawhi, they're like, hey, bro, take your PCL all year round. Because I know if you're healthy in the playoffs, we know what time it is.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

But Kawhi turned that into a championship. So that's a Kawhi, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Playback. It was a ball with that pole, for sure. I want to ask y'all, how y'all feel about this first round matchup now that it's set against the Rockets Warriors?

[F]

I. I think, honestly, I think the Rockets gonna win.

[D.J. Wells]

Okay. I think a lot of people need to give the Rockets more respect. I don't think that they're a fluky team. I'm not saying they're the best. I'm not saying they won the hardest, but they had a hell of a season. I don't think it's just on accurate.

[E]

It's going seven.

[F]

I'm gonna go with the. I'm gonna lean on the young guys.

[E]

Okay. If Jalen Green do what he supposed to do, they. They could get them out of there. Because I was watching Golden State yesterday, bro. Steph and Jimmy gotta play like that every night?

[D.J. Wells]

Pretty much, yeah.

[F]

Absolutely nobody else.

[Bishop]

Absolutely, bro.

[E]

They've got that four games every night, bro.

[F]

Yeah, they got nobody else. So, like, nobody else.

[D.J. Wells]

Now, what's up with the Jonathan Kaminga dnps? Y'all think he gonna get somewhere in the playoffs or they just not rocking with him right now?

[E]

I think it depends on how it go. If they need some type of scoring.

[F]

They might try to play themselves. I told y'all that when it happened. Yeah, I've been a restricted free agent.

[E]

This kind of punishment for him, huh, bro?

[F]

You want to take the money?

[E]

All right.

[F]

Sign that extension, bro. Now we gonna play you. We gonna lower your value. Keep lowering it. Keep learning. Because everybody asks him, why is he not playing?

[E]

That's weak.

[F]

What did he do? He doesn't fit the scheme. And when they start putting narratives out like that, you can't play in this system. Or this way. Or we can't use. You can't. You know what I mean? They just start lowering your value.

[E]

That's weak. Because he should be playing.

[Bishop]

Bro, I'm alive.

[E]

They got a few minutes for that, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Bro, yeah, God.

[E]

Leave.

[Bishop]

Because if I would have signed the deal, I'd have been playing all the minutes for sure. And I'm a productive player. I. That's what I don't like about the league. But you ain't never bigger than a program, so I get it. But that's a lot for you not to be playing. Me and our. We. We're mid.

[E]

But I see it as he not even trying to be bigger than the program. I just think that's what I'm worth, bro. Why are y'all mad at me about that? If I'm not, then I'm not.

[Bishop]

I mean, that sounds good, Mooc, but you kind of over your bridges when you. When you talk. I think he said, like, I should be getting as much as talking.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Kawhi or some like this.

[E]

He out of pocket for that.

[Bishop]

Ye. I play. Play it cool.

[E]

I didn't know he was talking.

[Bishop]

Now you go in there and say, man, I think I'm worth a little more. If we could figure it out.

[D.J. Wells]

Cool.

[Bishop]

I think it would have won different. But when you say I'm like Kawhi.

[E]

You mean well, then you tripping.

[F]

I'm going be a master.

[D.J. Wells]

I'm about to show you, you know.

[F]

You ain't gonna play.

[D.J. Wells]

Like, he don't.

[F]

And then they give you the opportunity, and it don't go how it was planned.

[D.J. Wells]

I told you.

[F]

And then. Yeah, it don't look like Kawhi.

[Bishop]

Cause you got that out, and then you didn't get out there and kill. Kill.

[E]

Yeah. See, if you be quiet, you'll be like Harrison Barnes, bro, getting checks.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[E]

And.

[F]

But you just signed that extension. Because now Jalen Johnson extension is probably where everybody gonna be. And they like, damn, my Jalen Johnson was done like an all Star. And we got. They got him for that. Yeah. You're nowhere near him at all.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, he should have signed it.

[E]

He should have signed it.

[Bishop]

But I just think it'll win better if you wouldn't have, like, opened your mouth and said nothing. Like, kind of try to step on him a little bit with that quote, so.

[D.J. Wells]

And Steve Kerr, he bench Jason Tatum. He don't give a damn about sitting you down. Yeah. It's no conscience. All, bro. This you good.

[F]

But that extension, like, everybody don't get that same Benefit. I remember Jimmy Butler turned down the extension and got a max deal, but he went out and killed like it was undeniable.

[Bishop]

Like, yeah, you gotta.

[E]

Now, when you do that, you have to.

[F]

But you gotta have a coach like Tom Thibodeau, like Tibbs, like, no, Jimmy's gonna play 38 minutes a game.

[E]

Cause Tibbs ain't trying to prove no point. He wants to win.

[F]

Win facts.

[E]

That's it.

[F]

Some people, like, hey, they approve a point.

[Bishop]

Yeah, don't make no lesson out of me.

[F]

And then when they trade for a guy that's at your position.

[Bishop]

Yeah, come on, bro, that's the right number.

[E]

You know what's up.

[D.J. Wells]

It's one of the best to ever play that position.

[Bishop]

You gonna bring in the best, low key, top three, whatever, at this position. And we going through this turmoil.

[E]

We want him to play 42 minutes. We don't have no time for you, bro.

[F]

That was the right number one for me. I would actually be in the trade. Like, oh, y'all training for Jimmy put me in that trade. Yeah, I'm trying to go to Miami.

[D.J. Wells]

Facts, for sure. All right, man. Super chat. Ask a question. Okay? Move on from that. But listen. Shout out to the Grizzlies. They came back yesterday. Outside of John getting hurt, they was now 20. They fall back in that game. If they win and they end up playing the Thunder, they got a chance. Or is it. Is it quiet?

[E]

They won a few. Okay, they won a few games. They gonna win, too, in a play in. They gonna beat whoever, the Kings or the Mavericks. It doesn't matter.

[D.J. Wells]

Most definitely.

[E]

But they gonna get a couple games.

[F]

You know who I hate to see when to play in the Mavericks? W. They trash, bro. Without Kyrie.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

I do not want to watch them play basketball.

[D.J. Wells]

You don't want to see Daniel Gaffer lobs?

[E]

[F]

It ain't just like in the playoffs. I don't want to see them under, under game out there, man.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, I'm not trying to see four games. Y'all playing the Thunder, bro. I rather watch Z go out there and shoot the ball.

[F]

50 pounds, 80.

[E]

Go kill, bro. I watch ad kill, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

I don't go get some rest, brother. You had. You had a hell of a season.

[Bishop]

We want the Mavs. We don't care about the Viewership.

[D.J. Wells]

We trying to move, trying to walk.

[F]

I don't want to see that AD Good. But AD Ain't got the game where you can just. He can win a series by himself.

[D.J. Wells]

It's not worth it, bro.

[F]

He need passes, he needs point guards.

[Bishop]

And can he win? Can he win you one?

[F]

One game? Yeah, he can get one game, but. And I'm damn near saying no, once you double him, they have nobody. Like, name me another player. That's Spence.

[Bishop]

Got a dub in him?

[F]

They do. But against the number one team in.

[D.J. Wells]

The league, you only have to deal with some killers, too, to get that dub.

[E]

Nah, especially get a dub, bro.

But if they had Kyrie, P.J. washington, free Clay. They had Kyrie. I think they would have won. They win, they make to Western Conference final. All right.

[D.J. Wells]

Healthy, Kyrie. I ain't mad at that tape.

[F]

Washington lively, AD healthy.

[D.J. Wells]

This team is Fire. Yeah, but it's a big asterisk next to it.

[E]

That's what they was thinking. We about to be col. Man.

[Bishop]

[E]

[F]

[D.J. Wells]

He saw that that was going on, bro. Draymond, push teammate to Washington, bro.

[Bishop]

Clay does not deserve that, bro.

Trae Young had 28 and 6 even though he got ejected. Man it was a built to ass situation majority of this game. We talked about the matching man injuries. There's another team that got decimated if they weren't as injured. What do you think the Magic could have been this year?

[F]

Top five Top five easily okay.

[E]

I wish. They ain't play so slow though. They play slow as hell bro.

[F]

A little bit bro.

[Bishop]

It's a big ass team bro.

[E]

That's why Cole Anthony kill. He pushed the pace last night. He changed everything. He started flying up and down the court.

They're a terrible watch. I ain't gonna lie.

Man, he too good to keep dealing with this every year, bro. I throw the ball at the rim so he can just leave, bro. We like sick of this, bro. Free trail.

[D.J. Wells]

That's hilarious. This is a crazy play. Through the legs that was floating.

[E]

That's a hard way to get ejected, bro.

[Bishop]

After a highlight that looked like some man one.

[E]

I'm out of here.

[D.J. Wells]

Watch out.

[Bishop]

Did he flash Used to do that. Throw the ball at the ref.

[E]

He was pissed, bro.

[F]

He was angry. The move was crazy.

[D.J. Wells]

Elite, bro.

[E]

Elite move. That's a silly way to get a jack on me.

[D.J. Wells]

That's a problem.

[F]

Hey, look how he threw it between buddy legs, though. He's like statued him. Yeah, yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Wouldn't have caught her, boy. He wasn't in there.

[Bishop]

Why you got your legs stretched that far though, on defense to go on that, bro?

[D.J. Wells]

He wasn't even guarding him, though. That's the crazy part.

[Bishop]

You in the way, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, literally Floes. Oh, ass know. That's what he said.

[E]

Free my boy.

[Bishop]

Man, in this. In this play, I don't agree with Mook, but I agree with Moog looking at this. Free.

[F]

We need some. We need some guys over there, but we too pretty of a team, man.

[Bishop]

There's no grit.

[F]

Yeah, we don't really got no. No.

What do we do?

[F]

Nah, we got. We got some people on the way.

[Bishop]

It's over, team. Y'all are cheats, but Jayla Johnson missing is big.

[F]

That's our Robin, man.

[Bishop]

I had them with it too.

[F]

Young Zach gonna be all right, but we got too many. This don't sound crazy, but we just got too many light skinned guys.

[E]

Damn.

[F]

You can't start three light skinned guys.

[E]

Damn, bro.

[Bishop]

[F]

So you had. Even when they had their team. Kd, Looney and Draymond. Come on, man. Can't have three light skins, bro.

Mixed breeze. Yes.

[F]

[E]

But he.

[D.J. Wells]

He ain't white.

[Bishop]

He's not white, bro.

[F]

And white players in the NBA, they be like, not say it like that. They be like more feisty and like, they got a little more grit.

[Bishop]

What about the Celtics?

[F]

Like, if you start. No, if you start as a white dude in NBA, you like a gritty player. Like, you got some toughness. Like, look at Austin Reeves. He got toughness to him. Like when he play. You see it like.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah.

[F]

You see Franz.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Jokic. They all got that little. Even when JJ Ready gets to start, he had that little, like. I hate this.

Dyson Daniels.

[F]

Dyson. Man, we had four.

[E]

It's in trouble.

[F]

We gotta have some Dyson.

[Bishop]

A dog, bro.

[F]

He is a dog, but he light skinned it. And ain't nothing wrong with that. You could be a dog and be light skinned. But what I'm saying is it just like. Look at that. That's when we was back. This is bad.

Well, we don't do Trey.

[F]

I don't care about no.

[E]

Way out.

[F]

I don't care about the V2. Trey. It's all good. Shit's on the way. Listen what I'm saying. You can't start that.

[Bishop]

You can, bro.

[F]

Not in the NBA, bro. You gotta have.

[Bishop]

The spurs did it. It's right in your face, bro.

[F]

The Spurs.

[D.J. Wells]

We're not accepting Tony Parker either.

[F]

Kawhi Leonard started.

[D.J. Wells]

Tony Parker.

[Bishop]

Wild Boys.

[F]

Kawhi Leonard started, bro.

[E]

Yeah, he did.

[Bishop]

Boris Diaz started.

[E]

Did he?

[F]

Danny Green started, too. He likes skinny, too.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

Danny Green is light skinned. There we go.

[Bishop]

For sure. There it is.

[F]

But. But it's a big butt right there.

[Bishop]

What?

[F]

Tim Duncan's one of the best players ever played basketball.

[E]

Yeah.

[D.J. Wells]

So Steph Curry.

[Bishop]

Yeah, I feel like the Sixers did, too. Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons. Who else is out there? J.J. reddick.

[D.J. Wells]

Y'all can't keep. We gotta move up. We got Nick Baton on my mom. Nick Baton counts.

[Bishop]

He does.

[F]

Can't start three light skin. Not in his current NBA, bro. You gotta have somebody with some.

[Bishop]

C.J. mcCullum, Nick Mat, Lamarcus.

[F]

Al was licensed. Marcus Brown, bro. Y'all name a team that didn't win, Bro. Nobody won.

[D.J. Wells]

We. We got to move on. But that is hilarious.

[F]

We need some more toughness, man. We need to trade for.

[E]

Need some grit.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

Need a Tony Allen.

[F]

Yeah. We need ta.

[Bishop]

You ain't find light. Sk one of them.

[F]

See, that's what made Draymond and them. Even though they had a finesse team, you know what I mean? Steph Clay was finesse player. Draymond came with that grit, bro. Foul. You do some. You know what I'm saying?

[E]

Punch you all that.

[F]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Kick you.

[F]

We don't talk about none of that. Like, our tough guy come up is George Niang. Another light skin.

[E]

Shout out George.

[F]

That's my job. But that's our toughness.

[D.J. Wells]

But game sliders is up, bro.

[E]

Beating might get you 30 on the low.

[Bishop]

Not tonight.

[D.J. Wells]

No. This Heat team, everybody was talking. They were just like, why y'all mad at Jimmy? Because if you look at this Heat team, they was like, they're super. When he left, like, he was the reason they was good going forward with this team. What do they need to do? I know we always talked about they need to address the point guard position first and foremost, but how do you go forward with this franchise? Like, what do you do for the future?

[F]

Get a point guard, bro.

[E]

They probably do need Zion. We being funny, but they probably. They need somebody like that, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

They playing Zion and Bam together.

[Bishop]

Nah, that's a crash course.

[F]

Yeah, they don't fit.

[D.J. Wells]

That's the problem.

[F]

Yeah.

[Bishop]

Damn.

[F]

To be honest, they need Trey Young.

[D.J. Wells]

That'd be fire.

[F]

They need Trey Young.

[E]

That'd be fire.

[F]

Nobody.

[E]

They get him, though.

[D.J. Wells]

Like Tyler Hero.

[E]

You have to he one of the pieces you need.

[Bishop]

He is. But you gonna have to give that up for Trey.

[D.J. Wells]

You gonna have to give. And you don't want to give up Bam, so you're gonna have to give him one of them.

[E]

Yeah, you can't give up Bam.

[D.J. Wells]

But also, if you give up Tyler Hero, that might give you another slot or a spot to get you another player to help assist.

[F]

Go get Brad, Bill.

[D.J. Wells]

He gonna be on the biomarker from what I've been hearing.

[Bishop]

Oh, it'll be up.

[E]

That'll be nasty.

[D.J. Wells]

If that's the case, Brad, be a wig at your one through three.

[Bishop]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

With Bam. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[F]

Then I got the Young weird. Yeah, they are. Hey, boy, that's solid.

[E]

I want to look into that.

[D.J. Wells]

Come on, tap in. But you know Pat Riley ain't going to pass his body fat test. That's all he care about.

[Bishop]

That might be a reason why people don't want to go there, though. Because of him.

[D.J. Wells]

The vibes.

[Bishop]

Yeah.

[E]

Try passing all that. He's good.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[F]

[Bishop]

What?

[D.J. Wells]

Who got a crazy run right now? Jello or be him?

[Bishop]

Jello, man. Jello's still hottest fish grease. I'm still working on my game, bro. I'm still in the gym. Remix is on the way, though. I'm dropping the whole tape at once. I don't know.

[E]

If you won't smoke with Mike, bro, who might go? I seen some yesterday, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

Oh, yeah. Let's talk about it. He don't have a microphone. Neither does Malcolm.

[Bishop]

Give a if he has six in his face.

[F]

This always freaky.

[Bishop]

Wouldn't give a damn.

[E]

I got a little go to him, bro. I don't know.

[Bishop]

He got a what?

[E]

Hope a little bit, bro.

[Bishop]

It's crazy, bro.

[F]

Yes.

[D.J. Wells]

Yesterday in the 520 off the court overruns.

[F]

He is a little more athletic than you.

[D.J. Wells]

He looks, bro. He's a sneaky athlete.

[F]

Yeah. I ain't gonna lie.

[Bishop]

I seen him when he threw his legs in the air. I can't do that. That takes a real athlete. Damn, Simone Biles.

[D.J. Wells]

That was a crazy fade away.

[Bishop]

That fade away was Midi told him. He told me you shoot like a.

[D.J. Wells]

Malcolm got his back. Yeah. We're gonna release a full tape of that nasty one on one matchup. But Gilbert Reus lasting our playback. Said Jerry Jackson, she, like a WNBA player is still the wildest thing I've heard this week.

[Bishop]

That is wild out as well.

[F]

He do, though.

[D.J. Wells]

We gotta do a side by side freaky Mike fade away and Jerry Jackson, three in transition. Clip it up for me, please. All right, man. Verified Buckets who was getting to it yesterday. Be here.

[Bishop]

Gotta give it to Jimmy, man. Gotta give it to Jimmy, bro. Let them teams let that weak ass team, bro to a victory. So shout out to Jimbo, man.

[D.J. Wells]

38, 7 and 6 went crazy. T, who you got?

[F]

I'm gonna go with Steph. He played well too. Him and Jimmy lit, but combined for 75 points.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, yeah.

[F]

It's a hell of a duo right there, for sure.

[D.J. Wells]

Moku, you got.

[Bishop]

You got desmond Bang for 30, Cole Anthony for 26.

[E]

I'm gonna go with Cole Anthony, man. He turned it up, man.

[D.J. Wells]

In 20 minutes, though, when they counted.

[E]

The most, he turned up.

[D.J. Wells]

Yeah, 26 and 6 and 20 minutes. Boy, you was hooping for sure. And shout out to D Bay, man. He held the ship down while Job was hurt yesterday. 30 and 6 for sure. Get well soon, man. Play the Trey Young clip again, man.

[Bishop]

Yeah, because that's the story.

[D.J. Wells]

That's a hell of a way to leave a game.

[Bishop]

This is it. I think the ref was more shitty because he damn near dropped the ball.

[D.J. Wells]

If he would have caught it, he would have caught a tape. He's not gonna embarrass me. But Trey being on this afterwards is funnier.

[Bishop]

Yeah, fumbling a chest pass is crazy.

[F]

That's Gucci, man. Too.

[D.J. Wells]

Yes, sir.

[F]

He throwing? No looks everything.

[D.J. Wells]

Like, damn, my teammates can't catch the ball. Ref can't catch the ball. Give me out this guy.

[E]

That's how you leave a game right there, man.

[D.J. Wells]

That's elite free trade, y'all, for sure. Oh, yeah. Moses Moody get well soon for sure. Hey, this was so disrespectful. Bow Bow Wow all tweens to the basket.

[F]

He started laughing at him.

[E]

Come here.

[D.J. Wells]

What, you would join Flo Dees? That's tough.

[F]

Started laughing at that man.

[D.J. Wells]

Child the job, man. One of the best to do it for sure. And then Isaiah Stewart. I didn't see this clip. Excuse Me.

[Bishop]

It'S therapy.

[F]

Is this him rapping?

[Bishop]

Yeah. I didn't know he was Jamaican. Never met a Jamaican named Isaiah. Isaiah Stewart dropped it, boy. DCS named it.

[D.J. Wells]

We need our jerk remix asap. It's time.

[F]

Hold on. Is that him rapping?

[Bishop]

Yes, bro.

[D.J. Wells]

He got the vibes on.

[E]

[Bishop]

[Bishop]

[E]

They caught me by surprise too.

[F]
