Chilling, chilling. Come on, man. Long, long weekend, man. We here to get right straight to it, man. We missed this the last week, man. We talked about the Thunder, you know what I'm saying? Take care of the young talent. They solidified the last piece for show, man. Shout out to J Dub. Jayla Williams signed that Rookie Max extension. Five years, 287. The Thunder committed $822 million to the young core, SGA Chet and Jada. Fellas, how y' all feeling about the payday in Oklahoma City, man? That's it. Nobody else. They got lucky. All them contracts don't kick in for a minute. So, yeah, the way they got staggered. Yeah, they cool. I mean, I even staggered. I'm just saying, like, J Dub and Chetz don't kick in. Yeah, they got next year. And then. So they can go this year. They got two years. They can go win a championship again. And then it's gonna get spooky, Caruso. No guys gonna be out of there, man. Hartenstein will be a free agent. Most definitely. $822 million for three players. But that's what happens when you win the championship, man. They did right by that young trio for sure. I think they learned from the mistake they made with James Harden. They weren't gonna Let that happen again. They like, nah, we got these young boys. I ain't gonna mess this up, man. Very interesting, man. Like you said, they got the recipe. They got all those first round picks, a lot of second round picks. Obviously after this kicks in, at some point, do you think they'll have to choose between one of them or you think they could just rock out with this team and just. You know what I'm saying, Keep adding first round talent, but then they might not have to pay those picks too. I think one of them gonna eventually have to slide, bro. Okay, that's a lot of movement. I think Chet gonna be the one that had to get up out of there at some point. Wow, though. Cause Jalen Williams and SGA better than him. So that's gonna be the one they let go. I don't know, man. Depending on the boy, stay healthy. I think they let him slide too because they got so many young bigs that's coming up. Like they just drafted another big. Yeah, yeah. And they gonna let that play out for four years. You know what I mean? He gonna be on a rookie deal. Let him play less chest slide. They probably can keep some more guys that can do similar stuff as Chet for a way cheaper price. Cause I mean he only averaged what, 15 points? 14, 15 points. The other two giving me 25 and what, 22 or something. I think Chet was just more of a. We picked him with the number two pick. We know his skill set. He could be really, really good and we just gonna solidify it. Cause we did what we did. But he a tradable piece at all times. Like people would trade for that. He gonna be the one. He averaged 20, 21, 22. Most definitely shout out to J Dub and what I thought was dope about J Dub, you know what I'm saying? He recently came out and said he was playing injured. One thing I hate was people talk about when they injured, when they lose. So for him to go hoop with no excuses, I know everybody was dog him like he need to show up, he need to play better. He's like, I was hurt. I had to figure it out. Shout out to him, man, that's fire. I respect that a whole lot, man. For you to play through the injury, not complain, not try to have an excuse and get to it and win a chip, that's fire. And you got a crazy payday. Yeah. Congratulations to that trio. Most definitely, man. Are they the new dynasty? Is it possible? Are they? Are they? Are they changing the wave? I want to be quiet for dynasties I don't think so. Yeah, I ain't really. Because they won game seven with Denver and Denver Michael Porter Jr. Was out there with half an arm. So if they just had one more healthy player, I feel like Denver, I mean, Aaron Gordon tore his hamstring. Yeah. So if they just had one or two more healthy players, they probably could have won that series. So I'm not really going to be sold on them being a dynasty right now. They had a good year. I mean, these last two years they've been really, really good. So I think they took that next step. But I think Denver got better. Yeah, I think the Clippers got better. Yeah. Anybody else out West? The Rockets. Rockets got really good. So. Yeah, second year, Dallas definitely got better. Kyrie said he not playing though the entire year, man. He said he was. Yeah, I'll take his time. Yeah. I don't blame him for that. Even getting dlo. They still gonna be a good team, bro. Yeah, they gonna be solid. I just think it's a rap for dynasties in the NBA. It is right now. As of right now. It is, bro. Yeah. Cause it's. They one injury away from like we seen with Boston. One injury regular as hell, so. Nah. Yeah. You look at the west through these teams. Yeah. I mean, I think the west definitely improved a little bit. Repeating it's definitely a possibility for them. Like you said, you always want injury away. But the west definitely bolted back up. The Clippers ain't no play thing. The Nuggets definitely look like they're ready for a championship. The Rockets, like you said, got KD Lakers. You never know what's capable for them. We count them out and then they go get Luka Donches. So you never know what may happen to them. And then even the Grizzlies like Job being fully healthy for some reason when he's healthy, that team just figured it out. Most definitely it was a three seed before he went out. Like they just figured shit out. And I'm a huge drama right there. I think got to score though, on that team. Triple J averaged 20 something points left. You got Tyrone on that team giving some help scoring off the bench as well. You got Gigi AG ain't really the scoring threat like he once was. I don't even know if he ever was like a super scorer. Hold on. Yeah, I'm really interested to see how they're gonna replace Justin Banks going to this team, but they're very high on Jalen Wells. Very, very high on him and Gigi Jackson. So hopefully it was 20 yeah, that was 20 points. Most definitely a reliable 20. That was 20 points for sure. That's tough to replace. They must have seen somebody or something to somebody that let them know. Yeah, now we can replace that. Yeah. If Gigi Jackson stay healthy. I like him. Okay. Yeah. I hope he ain't playing no more summer league games. You've done enough. Nah, I think 20, but I like him. He can get some buckets. Yeah. And they feel very, very confident. Jalen Wells, I've spoke to some people around that organization. They said, yeah, they. They expect him to really know what I'm saying, get going next year. So we should see, like you said, with a healthy job, they are a team that is very capable. For sure, man. But shout out to the Thunder, man. They setting the tone, man. Pay young guys. That's what you're supposed to do when you end up like Indiana Pacers, where people had your team a long time and they don't want to stay. Yeah, for sure. All right, man. Some other songs around the league, man. Herb Jones got paid three year, 68 M's, you know what I'm saying? The Pelicans locking down a young, nice defender on that team. A lot of people very interested in Herb Jones, looking to get him an off season. But the Pelicans said, nah, we keeping that young roster, man. They got a lot of talent. They got a lot to figure out. Y' all think it's some hope? I know, T, you ain't really feeling it be here. You still high on the Pelicans, for sure. I think. Yeah. My fears, if he healthy, he gone, he gonna have a good year. And big boy from Maryland, he nasty. Shout out to Derrick Queen doing this thing, bro. He can hoop. When I watch Jeremiah first play, he good, but he. He's good, but he just don't like. When I watch certain people, I look at their movements. He got good movements and stuff, but he just. He looks smaller than what I expected, you know what I mean? Like, he looked just kind of remind me of some players that he just don't look like he looked when I watched the film in college. I mean, so with him being small, what you think he gotta do to stand out, make up for it? He gonna have to be able to shoot way more. I mean, he's more of a, like, finish at the rim. You remember how Sharif Cooper played, and he had all that shit and he got to the rim and he had jump into you and shit. That don't really work in the NBA. And he kind of do that A little bit, you know what I mean? Like, he get to the rack, jump into you, they don't call those fouls no more. And it's a lot tougher to fin over those dudes in the league. Like, most of the Point guards are 6, 7, 6 5. The wings are 6, 8, 6, 9. They got good length and the best athletes in the world. The bigs touch the top of the square down there. It's gonna be a little tougher to finish over those dudes like that. So he gonna have to learn how to get that little floater. Okay, he gonna have to be able to shoot that three. But his pacing, he plays fast and he got a lot of handle and stuff, but he gonna have to be able to create a little differently. Most definitely. I think he'll have an adjustment period, but I think once he figures it out, he gonna really figure it out. He'll get all them little trick layups and flows. Yeah, but he'll figure it out. It's like a lot of people compare that game to Kyrie Irving, but they don't realize, like, Kyrie Irving has every single shot mastered. Both hands. Like, he got every shot. So I'm not saying he can't ever get to that level. I'm not. I don't know. Difference with Kyrie is, though, he came in the league. That's my whole point. Like, when you see. When you seen Kyrie, you like, this is different. And I'm not saying he's not different, but it's going to take a adjustment period because he don't really. He shoot threes or layups. His midi, I mean, that's what the NBA was for a minute, they didn't shoot midi, so he fit what the league wanted to do. But he going to have to be like a great passer. His rookie year, like, until he learned that adjustment, how to get them floaters and all that stuff off. He gonna have to. His passing gonna have to be on point. Once he get that, shit'll open up. But when I watch him, he's like trying to get buckets downhill doing that shit. And it just kind of put me in the mind of Sharif Cooper. I mean, obviously, Sharif Cooper wasn't as. I mean, he wasn't that. As a Fuck it. He wasn't that athletic, but he could pass, but he really couldn't shoot. So it was like a difference. I don't know, but it used to remind me of the same people when I watched the summer league. Like, damn, that's what Sharif was doing. Cause I was watching the Hawks at that time, most definitely. One thing I like about him is, like you said, he's gonna be in a situation where he got other killers on his team. So that passing might come a little bit easy. But they not really killers, though. You don't think so? I mean, not saying they not killers, but, like, compared to NBA killing, like, they all in the same boat. Like, think about it. You got jp. Jp, he a killer, but we don't look at JP as the person you about to lean on to and tell my franchise, like, point guard, like, we ain't about to go put my arm around him, like, this is how you about to get it done. J.P. still kind of like the little brother to niggas to us. Like, that's how I look at it. I mean, I know he averaged 20 points, but. Yeah, and the Wizards, like, he. He a super talent, but he not like a. A staple. Nah. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, he cold. We know he can play basketball, but he like a six man. He like a Malik Monk. He like, true. They all good players, but yeah, I just think he's with that roster, he's gonna be able to kick it. Some people who can score because Jordan pool trade a bucket on me. I think Zion gonna play this year. You know, Zion go hoop. He's a bucket. Zion can help him a lot. That's what I'm saying. I need a pick and roll, get you some live threat all day. And if DQ can get a little comfortable in the NBA, I think that they'll be okay. I just wish that they had, like, little dude gonna help him a lot. What's the little backup dude that be stealing the ball? Jose Alvarado, he gonna help him a lot because he figured out how to be effective in the league. Like, he got those little photos, he shoot them threes and shit. So he gonna help him a lot, like, working around him. But he's still trying to find his way, right? Yeah, true. He can't really be the veteran to be like. Cause he really wants you not to say it like this, but he's trying to take his. That's what I'm saying. And dejounte. He not there. He gonna be there, but he not there. Like, he not playing. So it's a little difference when somebody playing and you can see what they doing and they telling you how to get to their spot. But when I'm just talking you through it like a coach, it don't really hit the same. Like. But Alvarado, he gonna Help him. But he gonna be hoping, like, it's the NBA. He gonna be hoping. My man's is having bad nights. Like, shit, I'm trying to get in the game. Yeah. Cause I'm trying to get paid again. You feel me? And he's gonna push him. Like, you said that training camp battle is gonna be different. You have everything right playing. That's why I wish he had a dude like Chris Paul. Luckily, I had a dude like Mike Bibby going on his way out. That kind of. I wish I could have played more. Make your life a bit easier. Yeah. But I wish he had, like, a little older point guard where he still get to play. I wish I put it in the same realm with Minnesota. If they would have did it differently with Mike and Rob. Like, they still had old Mike, but they would have let Rob play a little more. Obviously he'd be way better player, but I wish he had that same scenario. Have y' all watched Rob? This summer league most definitely look solid. He had a game where he got comfortable. That first game, he didn't look too comfortable, but that second game, he looked comfortable for sure. Him and Terrence Shane was out there getting that shit off for sure. Yeah, he. He looked good. I mean, it's the summer league, so you know. You know how it go. Like, especially when you in your second year, you kind of don't really want to be there. Like, you gonna go hoop? Cause you got to, but you don't really want to be there. He kind of said that, like, I'm excited to just play basketball. Last year was a little bit tougher for me. I didn't get, you know what I'm saying, to get on the court as much as I would have hoped. But I'm happy just to be out here playing the game I love. And you can really tell how he was playing. Yeah, for sure. In that situation, another player on that Pelican scene will move on from Jordan Hawkins. Tugor. I was a really big fan of him. I don't know what the minutes like for him, but I hope we get a real chance. You know what I'm saying? Get his shit off. I'm a big George. Yeah, he's nice to me. He was putting it up last year. Don't get it twisted. Some good games, though. Yeah, he can hoop for sure. Some good games. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. They got such a young group that, like, you keep saying he gonna pass to somebody, but they like, they all like. Yeah, but he, like, he plays, but I mean, like people like Trey Zion. Trey in his fifth year. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. He's 20 point. He gonna only get better. I mean. Yeah, he gonna get better. That's their primary two guard right there. Yeah. That's 20 a night. Yeah, you gonna. You gonna at least get. You got a chance to get six or seven assists on this team or not. Oh, yeah. That's gonna be. I mean, even seven for you to be a rookie you year. Oh, you. You going. The downside is, from what you said though, Jose, I need your minutes. Yeah. So that might be a little. I mean, it's going to be easy for him to average 10 and 7 as a rookie. Yeah, that's like opportunity. That's just from playing. You gonna get that. I wasn't expecting my to average a dub man, cuz they don't need him to do that. But he really could average 16 or 8. They team so bad, no shade. They want him to average, bro. Yeah, that's a bad team. He could, but I'm just saying to make his life a little easier. Yeah, it ain't nothing like playing, but I'm like that first month. Yeah. I got Kevin Looney, baby. Rick James. Damn. Replace probably Zion when he bullshitting. They might be sad. They gonna be sad now. Y' all been seeing get a lot of run. He would show a lot of promise. Another, they got a young talent around. They just gotta figure this out. They got a lot of young talent. I'm just saying, for a player. Yeah. Like, even if you go look at John Moran first year, which was a good year, you could tell like, he was like, ooh. And he had to figure it out. Like, he remind you of John Morant, but he's just not that athletic. Like 50 inch. Yeah. Ja can get to that room. But Ja got one of the best floaters. Yeah. In the NBA. He finished a lot. Yeah. No, never. And his floater is like that. People be. Yeah, people be confused by people finishing. It's hard to make layups, bro. Everybody don't finish that wheel. Nah, they don't. So we can move on from the pill because we can't go to the roster real quick. Mike. Yeah. Who would y'. All? Who would y' all first five be? I don't give a damn. You starting fears at the 1. Okay. At the 2, you starting JP3, Trey, 4, Zion. And then you can see at the bottom, that's Daylana. There you go. But go like, can you pull up Jeremiah Fears, like, stats from College. One thing that, like, I was just looking at his shit, like, yesterday. He shot a lot of free throws. Yeah, he got to the cup, threw his body into people and got to that line. And that's one thing. You ain't gonna get that in the league. That's why I was like, he gotta master that floater or that midi. If shooting threes ain't really your thing right now, you're gonna have to have that for sure. For sure. I can't wait to see his development, man. I think, like you said, he's a smart enough player, good enough player, that he gonna figure it out for sure. Might hit a wall, but, man, we definitely looking forward to seeing him thrive, man. Shout out to Jeremiah Fears. Shout out to Herb Jones. Get that bad King. A couple other signs we'll speak about. Isaiah Jackson. Back to the paces. Three year, 21m's off to Achilles. Shout out to brother. Yeah, man, we went through it last year, him and Wiseman. First couple weeks of season, popped Achilles. But after he's healthy back, man, we'll see what he does for sure. Do you like him? Yeah, I like Isaiah Jackson. I think he was a person that in the playoffs year before last who really helped us off the bench. He's a live threat. Played really well with Tyrese. I was really looking forward to see how he was going to play with him last year. He would have been perfect as a backup for Miles in this situation. Runs the floor really well, blocks good rebounder, solid player. Don't worry about it. He got starter now 1000%. We will see a lot of Isaiah Jackson this year, man. Stay healthy. King Cole Anthony, you know what I'm saying? Got bought out by the Grizzlies. He is supposed to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks. I'm not sure if it's official yet or not. Why y' all like that? Sign up for that team, man. They got the point guard they're looking for. Is that moving needle at all? I don't think I got the one that was looking for, but I got a point guard. I got who was available. They probably wanted Chris Paul or something. I probably wanted Damien Lilly. That, too, but they ain't want co. What y' all think Russ gonna do? That's a great question. That is a great question. I just like. Because he probably can go anywhere where you want to. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I think he gonna go back to Denver. I don't see nobody else that really need Russ. Like that makes sense for him at this stage in his life. Do Denver want him, though? All the way they was acting last year. That is the better question. They was acting like they ain't really want him, like he was a problem. Shit, he played 30 minutes. That's how they was acting. Yeah. They was mad at Mike Malone for playing him over to some younger talent. So that's how they was acting. Okay, so where do y' all see come east again? Russ? Somewhere out East. I know you spent a little stint with Washington, man, but come on back eas. I can't. I can't think of a team. I mean, I hope he goes where he can compete for. I can't think off in with a team that would. He's probably quiet for. He can't go back to the Clippers if you don't want no ring. Come to the pace, bro. Can't go to the. Can't go to the Lakers. Don't. Come here, bro. Come here. Can Russ go to the Celtics on the minimum? No. No. I hate that. No, I hate that for him. Absolutely. That's bad. Absolutely do not want that for Russ. That's bad business. I'd rather him go back to the Nuggets, bro. He can't go to Houston. Just run it back, bro. He can't go to Houston. He cannot go back to Houston. He can't go to Houston. Katie gonna leave, bro. You don't think so? The Knicks. Katie ain't gonna leave. Yeah, he is, bro. He made that clear a long time ago. He do not want to play with Russ, bro. Yeah. I don't know what makes sense right now. No, don't go to the Bucks. I don't want that for him. I want to cheer for Russ. Cole gonna be shitty. Russ, pull up. Damn. Cause you know Russell, Russ is a fan favorite. He gonna play hard, and they gonna rock him with him. They gonna forget that you got any minutes on the team, bro, and it's gonna get spooky. He think the Knicks. I like the Knicks for him, man. Nothing says summer like long days in the sun, clutch plays, and a few bets on the game. All with DraftKings sportsbook.

Jameson, the lame white says when it comes to saying someone having championship experience, would you say Pool and Luni will bring that? Yeah, of course. There's two winners. They've come from two good organizations. They both played at a high level. I know JP Played in Washington where they wasn't playing for shit, but he's still cold.

I mean, Jordan Pool cold, and he gonna help Jeremiah Fears be a better player because George Pool got all them shots, too. He got every shot.

That ain't jp, bro. Yeah, he not even gonna do it that. I mean, I don't know him personally, but. Yeah, I can just tell you, bro.

Playing the way you gotta play albums that give you different J. Cole. I don't want to hear all J. Cole for it, man. Motivation 101. Try to have a good time. I'm not trying to do this straight. Dropped it the whole, like, in the morning, I'm R B in the morning, I'm R and B. Okay. He said serious as. Yeah, get your credit right? Financial literacy, generational wealth. That's what you supposed to listen. I got my son up in a carpool lane, a summer catcher. They playing love Sosa. No, bro, hold up. Morning affirmations. Wake up to the vibes.

At 1 in the morning, at 12 at night. 1am is R B vibes again. That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking like I'm riding, like I'm about to come here, like taking road trips. People do you drive to Chicago all the time. I'm just going somewhere. And that's. That's crazy. That's why you. That's why he playing love something that is kitchen and cocktails every week. I'll see how we start this. Be like what time we p on Sunday. I get back to Chicago, I'm like, damn, he just went last week. Home court event. Shout out to blue media. Stop asking. Just get wicked. No, they make our shows look now. Great question. Blue media say Chad's value is his versatility. He's being underrated because he only averages 15, but he's a top three defensive big plus. He's only played like one and a half seasons. He will be a 20 ppg scorer at some point for sure. The value is there for Chad. Very valuable player defense. Listen, we're not saying he's not good, bro. We know he bring value to the table. We know he probably could be a max player. But we saying he's gonna be the guy to get traded most definitely. When the rubber hits the road. Please. And the reason why he's gonna get traded is because he's going to be a high demand. He's a good player. When people trade for you most times it's because you are capable, not because you're incapable. Yeah. And then you can see that they kind of know that that's going to happen there of drafting bigs. Yes. They drafted a 18 year old. Yeah. 6 10. Shout out to young Thomas. He's in the league for sure. All right, man. Thunder up said also this is a huge year for Zion. They have no room to tank. That pick belongs to Atlanta next year. Yeah, we good. Very valid statement. But if they trade Zion, they're gonna get some more draft picks. We gonna get a top five pick next year. We gonna get AJ the banter or we probably knowing Atlanta. We'll draft boozer. Oh, hell nah, Jeff. Yeah, we'll draft boozing and I love boos, but y' all don't need that. We don't. But I just saying how. It kind of is how it's looking, you know? Cause we got kp. He ain't gonna be there. Not in the long term. He ain't gonna be there. So we need. I would hate that for him. Look, booze go. It's gonna be fire. Cause think about. We got the young boy. My young boy from that got drafted this year was hooping, too, from Georgia. Yeah. He was balling. He was hooping. He could shoot. I didn't know he had a burner like that. But if you get all versatile wings, you got Jalen. No, I'm saying they all versatile wings. Okay. So you gotta think young Zach, 16, you really a shooting guard. Small forward. Jalen Johnson is like a point forward. Yeah. And then you got this young bull, can shoot at the 4 or 5. And you got booze. They all interchangeable parts. And you got this young. You need a whole bunch of athletes around Trey because he's so, you know, challenged defensively because he's so small. Yeah, you need. Yeah, you need people that can scram him out if he gets switched onto a bigger player. Get him out of there. So you gotta kind of hide him a little bit. If you had the choice between Peterson and booze. You're taking booze. Oh, no, I just said our look. With our look, he cleared it up real. Yeah. With our luck, we never gonna get. Oh, yeah. Him or AJ the best is the pick, but we get the third pick. Like, damn. Yeah, like, when we got the number one pick. When. Yeah. No disrespect to the young Zach, but, like, nobody cared about the number one pick that year. Yeah, that's the kind of luck we get for sure. So we gonna be like, oh, the Hawks come in at number four. Damn. Yeah. Yeah. We gotta deal with booze when they in the great situation bad, they win. I just. I didn't know if he would be a good fit for Atlanta next year. O, like, sometimes you just got to make it work. Yeah. Somebody that talented, you figured out for sure. All right, man. Money D96 in the super chat said. Morning, fellas. Pills have no ball movement, and it's a lot of what I saw last season. And the summer hoops are bad coaching. Don't worry about summer hoops, bro. Summer hoops, don't even worry about it. You'll see the real team. Come train the cat. It's gonna be the same. But we got some optimism over here, man. Me be hitting the movie locked in with the pel. At least y' all gonna be watching Zion, bro. So he will play because it's time to re up. Tap in fre z. All right, man. Cedric Turner in the super sa. I really appreciate. Excuse me. Appreciate the show. You guys do an excellent job of speaking of all levels of hoops, from prep to pros. Ain't another Show Better than 520? This is the only podcast I pay for on patreon htown. Rocking with 520. Appreciate you. Hey, that's what I'm talking about, boy. Appreciate you, man. Come on, man. You know we love Houston for sure. Shout out to h town live show coming soon. Set it up. All right, man. Vegas Summer league, man. Let's talk about some of the young prospects we saw, man. Cooper flags debut. I feel about the first couple of games, man. First game is a little bit shaky, but he bounced back. That second game went crazy. How we. How we feeling about Cooper so far? I like Coop. Cause he went out there, and it wasn't for a lack of effort. He put that thing up. He just wasn't making them drop 21. Yeah, like, he was out there trying. You see, he came back and killed the next dude. He didn't look scary. He's real comfortable. He's nice, bro. He's real comfortable. He a confident player. See, that's the thing that we lacking with Bronny. The confidence just not there, bro. Like you would think in his second year, you would see. I mean. Cause you killed the G league. So this is a very similar situation as the G league. Oh, yes. And you would think you would see the confidence. Just kind of like, I'm better than y'. All. Like, we know he's gifted defensively. Like, you see him matching up with Cooper. You like, okay, he's gonna be a defender. But I need 16, bro. I need 16 shots. I need 16, 20 shots. You said you don't even care if they go in. I like that he took that. That shot for game. Even though it wasn't the best shot. I was just like it. Let's go, Bronnie. Take us home. Damn. Y' all want him to shoot 16 to 20 times? Yeah. 16 points. I need to see him kill, bro. Cause we ain't really seen it yet. Killed in the Jesus. But I need to see you kill now, bro. I needed you to shoot 20 shots. I need to see you kill now, bro. No, I need to see you shoot 20 shots. I don't care if they go in. I just need to see the cause when he get in the NBA games, he put them up. He does. You know what I mean? So I expected that from this. Like, all right, Bronnie about to get out there. He gonna put 20 up. Even if he missing, it's like he was going for it. That's all we ever want to see from Lil Brownie is him being aggressive. We feel more comfortable about it. Yeah, I seen him kill, man. Yeah. I don't care if he making or missing, but if he just aggressive, then I know, like, okay. His confidence is there. Like, Lil Nimhardt. He played like his brother. Hey, he was killing my dog. He's a shorter version of his brother. He was nice in college, though. Yeah, he was getting to it. Yeah, he just. Shorter version of his brother. I think they hit the lottery again, Cooper. Flag and get another nim hard. I think they did it. Nico. He drafted well, bro. You doing your thing right now, boy. You hoop. Come to him, Nico. Nico doing his thing. Like, they nemar gonna make that team. Yeah. And he gonna play watch for sure. It kind of remind me, like, when they got. Bro said, damn. I wasn't even gonna say that. I was gonna say Hardy, like, you know, Hardy fell in the draft. People was like, question me a little bit. But you knew he could hoop. Yeah, he a little. Obviously he don't play like Hardy, but he played like Brunson. Because nobody expected Jalen Brunson to start killing like this, bro. I knew he was talented, but, you know, he was gonna know what I'm saying, because only his daddy knew, boy. Yeah, his daddy definitely knew. He said, boom. I'm talking about somebody who, like, put that, like, hey, I got my. He told. He used to tell me every day, bro. Yeah, Even your story. But I'm saying you will see his dad, like, really on that. Like, you better than them. Go kill them. Like. Yeah, he gonna be good, man. For sure. All right, what club we got? Right here. He's the most surprising superstar ever in the NBA to me, Jalen Brunson, nobody expecting that. Yeah. At all. For what he's done so far in this league, bro, to put the Knicks back on the map. He is the most surprising. A six foot. You think he the most surprising in recent years. To me, I think Isaiah Thomas is the most surprising superstar. Oh, was Isaiah. I knew Isaiah Thomas at Washington, though. Yeah, but Jalen Brunson run. I know, but I'm saying it was. He was the 60th pick. He was, bro. But he got an opportunity, like, quick. And he killed with Sacramento he had a few 30 point out the gate, is what I'm saying. I know, but you the 60th pick. You five, nine. He became the damn near 30 point scorer. Yeah, you ran in Boston. I'm just thinking, I mean, we with Isaiah, but I'm just. That was short lived because of injury. Jalen Brunson is changing. He is the narrative. Like, we know every year he got his hundred million right. He averaged 25 every year. They wouldn't be scared to pay him. Yeah, like, I never thought he'd be the one to change. I said, Thomas, 30 balls that he was averaging, bro. That's crazy. Who's killing, bro? They're both killers too. I could see it killing, bro. He was getting buckets from Dave, but I'm saying he was the 60th pick and he always got buckets. In Washington, Jalen Brunson was the same thing. He was a good point guard. Killing. He killed in college. No, he did kill, but he was like running his show and doing all that, bro. It was getting money, bro. Always Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson was getting money. I know he was killing, but it just. It was just. I knew he was getting. I just think Jayla Brunson have a longer run. He is gonna have a longer run. He already. It's already. He was never like. Never was a slouch, man. It was never a superstar, though. What? Nah, he was drunk. He was a star superstar. He did. But I'm saying. But that was shortlived, though. He was a killer. He was superstar for that. That when he went to Boston, bro, he became a superstar, bro. I'm just saying, bro, this got longevity. But I love Isaac. I don't nobody thinking I'm putting smut on his name. He f do this for Jalen Brunson is different, bro. We just saying. Listen, I'm not saying you. Jalen Brunson ain't different. I know he gonna be a lone Knicks legend, bro. In that three years, four years. Isaiah Thomas was at Boston, bro. Jalen was over star in that moment than Isaiah Thomas, bro. No, they had Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett. They was. So when he came to the Celtics. Celtics. New York ain't been lit, bro, since the 90s. What I'm saying? Nah, Mello was just there, bro. They wasn't lit like they was. Y' all just. Y' all is the one that told me Jalen Brunson is bigger than mellow in New York. I argue that he is nice. That's what I'M saying. But you said they wouldn't lit. They wasn't lit. Mellow was still lit. They had a lit, bro. They was lit. Not like this. Bro. I'm using the wrong words, okay? They wasn't as lit as this team. This ain't. They only just made to the Eastern Conference final. That's why they lit. Like the year before wasn't. I'm saying led by a this big. But I'm saying the year before nobody cared about the Knicks. We were saying the Knicks was a superstar. I was confused while they was getting Jalen Brunson to make him the best player. To be honest. My whole point is. My whole point is when it got to Boston, them I the Boston Celtics were assigned. It was Rondo last year. Wasn't nobody there. They were. They was trash. He got traded there was coming off the bench, started killing. Next thing you know, these niggas was going to the playoffs. One of the top seeds. He was come. He was running into a good group though. Like tape was coming. Look at the. No, they wasn't. They. They wasn't there. Let's go look at the. Oh, they didn't there he was with Jay Crowder and Avery Bradley. Yeah. Cause they had just traded for Congress. He had his own team. This thing was ass for sure. Let's be real. They was ass. He didn't. No, they was ass. They team was ass, bro. J. Crowder was arguably second best player that best Boston team. Al Horford. Al Horford was their second best player. Not with this New York team roster, bro. That he la. They had Jaylen Brown. I like they had. He ain't play. He was young. I just knew they had one of them, his rookie, Avery Bradley. Gerald Green got hella minutes. Demetrius Jackson crazy. This team easy. These n young baby rocking. But we never thought they about to win. Yes, bro, is what I'm saying. Think the KN about to win. Nicks had a chance of winning. Look at they team. They got OG they got five max players. They got cat. No, bro. They got five max players. Took a pay cut. This the difference. He killed so much that they said we got to get this some help. I killed so much. They traded him. He got hurt. But still if Jalen bro got hurt, they still help him. They done bro the whole point. This is my whole point point. Never in Boston whole time, nobody ever said, damn, we might need to let Jaylen Brunson sit out a little bit. Was like, keep Brunson out. They play better without him. I mean, you never heard when it was in Boston, fans said that. Really? You never heard a fan say that. But he had to be in the game for you. He had to. At no point ever. At no point ever we ever said it. Need to pass the ball. He need to do this, he need to do that. That was max players, bro. That's my whole point, bro. He made these statements on this. T got a fair argument. All hell respect to Isaiah Thomas if you're starting a team. Both players are healthy. Who are you taking? Jaylen Bronson. I'm taking it. Never. I am. They do the same that debate it do it better. Really? Who better score between 2? I he biased. I swear to God. I'm not being biased. I watch Jaylen Brun and grow up, bro. He average 30. I don't give a damn, bro. He average. Y' all rock out. All right, listen. We gotta move off of this. I'mma ask y' all one question. A big average 30. Better score average. We gotta pick one so we can move on. Better score between the two. Who you taking? No, they can have they opinion score. Yeah, yeah, of course. Who you taking? RT brother. Do I gotta say score or player? Healthy. Fully healthy. Score is full. Okay. I He average 30, bro. Score. Score. I Score. I'mma take it for as a bucket. Jalen Bronson. Okay, player. I'm taking it. Player. That's tough for me. I'm probably take JB though. Okay. All right. We'll let the chat figure the rest out for show man. Healthy, bro. This was cold, bro. Y' all see that? Y' all know everybody still our so we gonna see this on other. We'll see what everybody. Yeah. This will be on first take tomorrow. That ain't the argument. He is coming out. All right, show me Cooper versus Dylan. Shout out to Dylan. Harper made his debut. Yeah Y. Oh, lace them. Hey, I know we gonna show this 31 from Cooper, but Carter prime was playing hell of a good defense on that man. The whole night. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Left hand, man. Damn, I'm shitty. Who was there so I can talk to this. Hey, he gonna be a good NBA player. That's crazy. Turn me up co. Get off me. Hey, y look like Eybl to me. That's literally cuz that's what that is. Oh, pull up, gang. Hey, bang out for sure, man. Number one, number two. Promising for those teams for sure, man. Let's go through some other rookies or other standouts in the summer league, man. The Hawks. Yeah. My boy went crazy. He can shoot Hawks and Pistons, man. No, it's a Hawks Pistons. They ain't even finished that one up. Shout out to the Hawks, man. Y' all got some young. Hey, got a young rookie man. Young Oz in the world. He looked nice, man. He was on the flag team. I mean, my verb. Y looking real promising, for sure. We talked about Reed shepherd, man. Looking like he's gonna get some burn this next coming year, man. I honestly. Promising. Honestly. Reed shepherd is a really good basketball player, bro. Yes. And he might be. This is going out on a limb, but I think he might end up being better than Peyton Pritchard. Cause he. He's super athletic. I can see that. And he. He lock up. Oh, my God. That ain't crazy to say.
