[C]

That is crazy. That's a nasty problem. Oh, man.

[A]

Listen, y' all stupid, man.

[C]

A lot to talk about. I want to ask anybody here. Listen to the Carter 6. Because I did not.

[A]

Well, almost.

[B]

I checked out a couple songs. I love the song. I ain't gonna lie. It's not my favorite album, of course, but song with big extra plug is fire to me.

[C]

Big ass did what he was supposed to do. I did catch a little bit of that.

[A]

Oh, man.

[B]

Yeah, that's cool.

[C]

I thought it was dope. He had a song with him and his son, but for legacy purposes, I don't want to hear it.

[A]

I'm gonna keep it real with y' all, man. When they start posting them pictures of, like, the old undertaker, the old Kane versus the old dx, where Shawn Michaels ain't cuss no more, I said, yeah, that's about right, bro.

[C]

A put the Pat Ewing magic jersey up. I said, anytime I see this picture, I know the Shaq Boston jersey.

[A]

I was like, yeah, it's over for my dog. It's cool.

[B]

I think it's over for him, though. You just gotta keep touring and do all your old shit, bro. Just be mixtape tour Wayne.

[A]

You know what it is, man. Even when you go see Wayne live. And y' all know I love Wayne. We went to go. We seen him at J. Cole joint. He don't give you the show you want. It ain't that he ain't a good performer. It's like he got so much music that he need to go on tour and perform, like, albums. Like, hey, I'm performing a Carter 1 and 2. You know what I mean?

[D]

Or did his set was, what, like 15, 20 minutes?

[B]

Was it even that?

[A]

It was like 30 minutes.

[C]

But it was like, it was with the hot boys, too. Was intertwined.

[A]

Yeah, but then it was like, the songs. You'll get a snippet of the song. Like, thank you, thank you, thank you every time. But, like, if he went on tour and was like, yo, for all my day one fans, I'm dropping, I'm going with the hot boy album. Or I'm going with the block. It's hot. Whatever the albums was then, people probably appreciate it more.

[C]

Well, he's on tour now. I know people went to the show in Master Square Garden and said it was a fire show. He didn't do any of the new album. They said.

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

He play all the hits, but he.

[B]

Hasn'T seen people out. That's what I'm saying. I think, like, so far, I don't think he done is. Cause he can still tour, bro. That's a good idea for him to take. You feel me? Bring up your Old shit, but, I.

[A]

Mean, he do his own. But when we went, bro, he was like.

[D]

He done making new music?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Well, yeah, I'm not saying he's done, but like, Wayne on the feature is still cold.

[A]

That's all he needed.

[C]

He been going crazy.

[A]

Features no more album.

[C]

And if you're gonna do an album, let's. Let's get a little different of a production team in there. I think that's really what the.

[B]

Yeah, my boy, he explore with a lot though.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Wayne is a pure artist.

[A]

You talking about drugs or so that's all the above.

[D]

That Jelly Roll song is stuck in my head, though.

[A]

What's it called? Jelly Roll?

[D]

Yeah, the one with jelly roll. Snakes in the grass, sharks in the water.

[A]

It just.

[C]

It's Wayne, so it's not trash. But compared to Wayne's, what you compare.

[B]

It to Carter too, and you not getting that no more.

[C]

Nigga, I would take Carter's tour at this point.

[A]

I just don't think he, like, I'm not. I'm. Who the fuck am I to talk about you? The great. You great at your craft.

[C]

Yeah. Wayne is a goat.

[A]

One of the best. So how can I speak on what you want to do with your life? But when I look at other greats that like, I like the way they age. Pause. Like Jay Z aged with his music. We listen to him, it's like his music like, okay, we're growing up.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't feel like Wayne ever aged. Like, it's like.

[B]

Well, that's Cause he disconnected himself from the world too.

[A]

But it's like, damn, I remember that sound like Squad Up Wayne like that. It don't sound like Squad Up Wayne, but he's still rapping like, Squad up one.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And it's fucked up because realistically in hip hop, we don't even get too many artists that get to even get older to like gracefully age. Like, you look at Biggie and Pop, them niggas died at 25, basically.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

That's crazy. We don't even know what they would be like now with social media, that shit. So we don't have too many examples of it. But you look at the Nas, you look at the Jays, like some of the prominent rap, they age gracefully. Like, Nas made dope albums the last couple of years. But again, he had a young producer in his pocket.

[B]

You gotta stay with the times, though. Ain't too many rap artists, bro, Dropping an album now and they still gonna be fire. It's gonna be hard.

[C]

I agree.

[B]

It's gonna be hard because music is so different now. Rap is so different now.

[A]

Like, but when somebody give you, like, I give you an example. Pusher T and Malice. They dropped that song. Yeah, that was fire.

[C]

Yeah, they're always going to be phenomenal.

[A]

And they like, old. They older rappers, but that shit was fire. Like, I'm like, this how old rappers should sound. Ace Trumpet, man. That was fire.

[B]

It was.

[A]

That was a hard.

[B]

I still love to hear Fab and Jada on shit, though.

[A]

Yeah. But you can hear they, like, age with they music.

[D]

I feel like Jeezy makes grown up rap music. He's grown now.

[A]

Yeah. Even when he did the snow.

[C]

What's the snowfall?

[A]

Yeah, snowfall. Yeah, that was. That was. That was cool.

[B]

That other shit he ate on that estg song too.

[C]

God of Realiz. That's one of my favorite rap songs, bro.

[B]

So he definitely.

[A]

He aged with his music too, but it's a few.

[B]

It's a few. It's just we had.

[A]

We were so Rick Ross age with all his music.

[B]

We were so big on Wayne growing up, bro. He was our childhood. Like, Fabian really wasn't our childhood. They was, but not really. Like, we look, we grew up with Lil Wayne, bro.

[A]

Yeah, I was. I was more inspired by Fab, though. I ain't gonna lie.

[C]

Yeah, Fab from, like, the fashion. That's with the jerseys, the swag.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm just talking about the music, though. Those tapes, it's crazy.

[A]

Wayne was the goat, but it was just like, he was so you, like, you couldn't be Wayne, you know what I mean?

[B]

He was too far gone.

[A]

He was too gone, bro. I'm like, I can't.

[C]

I'm dating myself. About my Nigga with the MySpace background, bro. With the bait purple jacket, bro. Like, that was iconic, bro. Niggas look, wanted to do that, bro, but you just couldn't do that.

[A]

You couldn't do it.

[C]

It was a different time.

[B]

I just don't know who has more music than him. That's fire.

[A]

Who got a better catalog?

[B]

That's why he can do trash shit. And it's okay.

[A]

You say, who got a better catalog?

[C]

Yes, his catalog is tough to beat. A lot of people gonna say his music didn't age well, but I'm not.

[A]

Buying that it didn't.

[C]

I mean, it's tough. Nobody.

[A]

It's tough to say that.

[C]

It's tough to say anybody. Music really aged well.

[A]

You can go listen to Reasonable Doubt right now, and Reasonable Doubt, it's gonna be like, yeah, this is a good Album.

[C]

That's fair. But we are talking about Jay, too.

[A]

Yeah, but I'm saying we look at Wayne as one of the greatest ever.

[B]

I would still listen to Carter 1 on Carter 2 for sure.

[A]

But every mixtape I'll still bump it's nostalgia to us. It is like. But if you go listen to some of them, like, you'd be like. Like, if you really just play it for like somebody that's a young guy, they'd be like this ass, bro. Y' all thought this shit was tight. Like, I've done it with my nephew.

[B]

Yeah. Malcolm probably can't understand no ceilings, but that's a classic.

[A]

It's so fire to us.

[C]

Don't pop out for the disrespect mouth. No, that's it. Okay. I guess he go to Wayne mixtape discography, but it's a lot of. He was. We was hooping and dedication to come out. Somebody was like. Like Skip House. Hey, you shut the up.

[A]

That's what I'm saying, bro.

[C]

I felt disrespected, bro.

[B]

Skip that is over here.

[C]

Like, he.

[A]

He got like. Like, you know, everybody know a million seven foot, six foot, seven foot, all that. But the shit that we like, it don't really come on. Like Birdman Jr. And all that shit, bro. Like, them shits is like classic songs, but you don't never. You rarely hear them. You know what I mean?

[C]

I know we're gonna get off the subject, but I want to ask how y' all feel about this? People a little bit older than me always say they like Carter 1 over Carter 2. And I've been seeing a lot of heavy people saying Carter 1 is better than Carter 2. How y' all feel about that?

[A]

I'm a Carter 1 fan. That's his best album to me.

[C]

I'm not mad at it, bro.

[A]

The way he described a fucking crack house or a project building. I should say will the Carter. If y' all ever watched fucking New Jack. Yeah. New Jack City. The way he describes the Carter is unbelievable in that song.

[B]

I'm really overthinking.

[A]

That shit was fire. Like, that took. Yeah, that took Wayne to a different Wayne.

[B]

Wayne. Wayne is elite. I'm probably Carter, too.

[C]

Car too, for me. But I Miss My Dogs is a top tier rap song, bro.

[A]

Man. Birdman Jr. Bro.

[C]

Play the corner like Ripken.

[A]

What?

[C]

I know we've had this conversation many times, but I'm gonna do it before we get off the subject. Birdman JR. Are the Mob.

[A]

The Mob, the Mob. My favorite Wayne song.

[C]

[A]

Early on Gates the Mob with that motherfucker, man. He played in his concert and I.

[C]

[A]

He only played for 20 seconds.

[C]

Tuscan leather is a fire ass song. It's 3B flips and he goes crazy on every single one of them, bro.

[A]

I like Tuscan leather, but I'mma fix the Mob as the greatest intro. I ain't going to lie.

[C]

I am a little disappointed that we don't have any like Drake and White music or Drake White and Nicki music. I know we got to see green a couple years ago, but I hate that they don't really do music.

[B]

I would love that now.

[A]

I ain't going to lie. Standing ovation though. That's the. That's the intro to thug motivation 101, ain't it?

[C]

It's. That's a tough ass conversation because did not give Clifford Hair enough credit, bro. His discography is so crazy, bro.

[C]

Oh, that's. That's such a tough.

[C]

Big Draco.

[B]

I just. Thug is just.

[D]

That's what I was asking. Like, what is the I.

[A]

The gay influence?

[C]

If you're going by body of work, I mean, Thug is definitely up there. Like you said, he inspired the next generation.

[A]

I'm not putting him over Outcast, but.

[C]

Yeah, I can't put him over.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Now, I respect y' all for that, bro.

[A]

He's six, though.

[C]

But that's not good.

[D]

And if you go by like sales, I feel like TI and Ludicrous probably sold more than.

[C]

Oh, yeah, Ludicrous is underrated as them.

[B]

Is in CD eras is buying CDs. That's. I don't compare CD to streamers.

[C]

I respect that. I remember we saw when Malcolm Weaves at Dreamville Festival. He was like, damn ludicrous on my man. Know him from Fast and Furious. No. Luna had slaps.

[B]

Yeah. You gotta think though. Thug is responsible for Uzi. And baby, that's big.

[A]

Yeah, he can Uzi.

[B]

What the. He had on this sending to my phone, bro.

[A]

Hey, that had on heels, bro. That had to be. That gotta be fake, bro.

[B]

Hopefully it's AI.

[A]

But it has to be AI.

[B]

He. He trolls a lot too, though.

[C]

Uzi trolls a lot that do whatever he want to, bro.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. I ain't really. That's too.

[C]

You know what's crazy?

[A]

I don't beat my ass, bro. I don't want no smoke.

[C]

I don't know if that's the wildest thing he's doing. And that's the spirit.

[A]

That is crazy, though.

[C]

Yeah, that's.

[A]

That's.

[B]

That is great. That's od.

[C]

Yeah, he's. He's out of pocket for that.

[B]

But he tree a troll, bro. Need a troll, man.

[A]

That the funniest though he ever did, bruh. That's what. He would eat that Popsicle or whatever. And that boy. Them kids got off the bus. He said that to me every day, bro. We used to laugh about that every day. He loved Uzi, bro. Yeah. I just moved over here.

[B]

I think Uzi is funny. He's a troll, bro. He's a troll.

[C]

Oh, he wanted life, bro.

[B]

Yeah, Slaps.

[C]

Got a nice girl out the way. Took a city girl off the market, bro.

[B]

Yeah, he's pushing the needle with that. But that's why I put Thug up there, though, bro. Cause you. We gotta ask Wayne. Shit.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I feel that we gotta ask Mike about his going to the concert.

[D]

See, I know I hate concerts. Like, I hate going to them. But that was actually. And I've been to a lot of concerts. That was pretty far.

[C]

Mike pulled up for the Scissors and the k dot.

[B]

It was.

[D]

It was far. I actually appreciated them not having, like, those filler openers, like. Cause that shit really bothers me. Like, what am I here for? Is wasting my time. But Mustard opened up. He had a good, like, 35, 40 minutes of him, like, just going crazy. Surprisingly. They played some Drake joints in there, but, I mean, the crowd loved it. Kendrick came out, I think, to squabble up. Like. He came out, squabble up. And then SZA came in, and it was like they kept going back and forth. They do a song together. Sza, stay out there. Do a song together. Kendrick, stay out there. Back. It was. It was crazy. The production was. It was fire. It was fire.

[C]

Those are two amazing artists. But if I'm going to a concert, you getting your money's worth, for sure.

[B]

Yeah. I think people forget how big Scissor really is.

[D]

I didn't realize that part.

[A]

I wanted to ask y' all that because we debating a little bit. Scissor is fire. But who do you like more? All right, what's my girl that's going on Concert with Chris Brown? Summer Walker. Yeah, who y' all like more, SZA or Summer Walker?

[C]

I like Summer Walker as a singer better. But as far as music, better. I'm gonna go with Sza after the concert.

[D]

I'm going Sza.

[A]

I like, bro. When Summer Walker performs, she don't do nothing. She just sit in a chair.

[B]

Yeah, she trey songs, for sure.

[A]

But, nigga, her voice is so good, and then her songs are so fire, the whole crowd. Single.

[B]

Oh, yeah. She can drop the mic. She can ride waves some shit.

[A]

No, that is crazy.

[B]

Yeah, she can ride waves some shit, but I don't know, man.

[A]

Scissor Fire, maybe.

[B]

Maybe in my ghetto girl era, probably Summer. But scissors like scissor. Grown up music.

[C]

I love control, so I'm. I'm biased for a scissor, but, yeah, she got some slaps, bro.

[B]

Someone Walker be jamming like a mother.

[C]

Oh, God, her music is amazing. It makes us overlook all the other.

[B]

Because she be wild, she fried, but she the biggest. She the biggest one's like, the age from, like, 18 and up. She's the biggest.

[C]

Everybody's going on tour this summer, too.

[A]

Somebody said, how about that? Who. Who y' all going to see? Are y' all going to the Chris Brown Scissors? I mean, Summer Walker tour?

[C]

[C]

That's a. That's a hell of an artist.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's Janae Aiku, Bryson Taylor, Summer Walker and Chris Brown.

[B]

Would y' all guess how much Bryson Taylor gets the show?

[C]

Nah.

[A]

35, 100.

[B]

Y' all think it's retarded?

[A]

35,000.

[C]

Last time I seen Bryson Tiller, bro, respect. He had his baby girl out there. She was singing songs. I was like, yeah, shout out to Bryson Tiller.

[B]

You gotta give Bryson over 300,000 perform. Excuse me, over 300,000.

[D]

That's probably why we don't see him too much.

[B]

Yeah, that's fact.

[C]

[B]

I even like that song. I mean, you know, get well soon Diddy. But I like that song with him and Diddy. It actually slaps.

[C]

I'm not sure. I'm not sure if he's gonna perform that anymore. It's a compilation of people going recently, putting all the Diddy bars and songs. They were just like, what did you mean by this?

[A]

[B]

My brother cut him all about the Benjamin yesterday. I'm like it, bro. Let's rock out, bro. Yes, you got, bro.

He didn't get no about nobody. She was going crazy. Hey, man, she. Hey, somebody wilding over there. Y' all better get her. They could have no concern about her, bro.

[C]

You know what's so crazy, bro? That was the peak of Reality cv because he had to do a complete bullshit, right?

[B]

I would want somebody else to do making a bando. Somebody gotta do that. One of these other big artists gotta do that shit.

[C]

But you gotta have somebody crazy enough to make it like that entertaining. Because that era of TV is unmatched, bro.

[B]

It is, bro. But I. I think somebody could do it. Y' all gonna make me think about who.

[C]

But the Drew Ski shit's the closest.

[B]

Yeah, but you know, that's for.

[A]

Though ain't nobody as up as Diddy. Diddy was up, bruh.

[B]

That is genius, though.

[C]

They said a bar.

[B]

Look at t sw.

[C]

I said, hey, what's wrong with y? Hey, speaking of family, did you see the Davis brothers jump off right after the fight?

[A]

Somebody got some jump?

[C]

Yeah, the boxers.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

I said. I said, that's some Jeff and Mook right there.

[B]

Oh, no. For sure.

[A]

Oh, yeah. It's no fair. Fights when we around. Y' all can cancel Christmas if you ever think y about fight one of us 101. You a damn fool. Hey, don't let our friends be there. Oh, yeah, but I don't. I. I ain't into no competition no more. Now.

[C]

I thought that was hilarious. He's sitting there, my brother. Yeah. We're gonna see you.

[A]

Yeah. Facts.

[B]

Did y' all get the chance to check out the bees and wins one on one.

[C]

Unfortunately, I did watch that, bro. Yeah, it went how we expected.

[A]

Too much violent, bro. I watched like 30 seconds, bro.

[B]

It was. But God damn, bro. Michael Beasley put on a clinic, bro.

[C]

When Kyrie Irving says I would never play him one on one, that is a sign, bro.

[A]

Right too. He can do everything. 6, 9, 610.

[C]

One of the most gifted basketball players ISO 101 you've ever seen. Beasley is like that for sure.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He wanted them getting to your spot still. And a fouling you like that, bro, is wild, insane.

[C]

But you know what? Shout out to everybody who hooped. The undercard stuff was fire as well too. That I know a lot of people paying for, like the 10 GS. I like the next chapter, man. That's dope. That's a prime example that the NBA should adapt some of that. I'm not sure how they're gonna do it. But that would be dope to see, because you'll get some of the stars of people. We don't think it's all stars and superstars a chance to really show how good they are.

[D]

If y' all ever got a chance to interview Adam Silver, what kind of stuff y' all think y' all talk to him about? About changing the All Star Game, shit like that.

[C]

It would depend upon if the Pacers win the chip or not. Because if we win, then, you know, saying, my question list will change. Okay, I'm gonna start there.

[B]

Well, I just want to ask him, what made you even start messing with the NBA? Like, what? How was your journey just entering the NBA? Cause I'm like, how do you even sign up for something like that?

[A]

I probably ask him more about, like, retired player stuff, like how you could do better. Even though I know they trying to bridge the gap. Like when people retire, like, setting up payment plans for them to get to the, you know, their retirement money. Yeah, but I was about, you know, people get your pension at, like, 55, but niggas retire at, like, 31. So I'll be like, man, I know they got a bridge plan now, but I just wonder, like, what they would do different.

[C]

Yeah, on the same token, I asked about the Tony Snell situation. That's like, something that's very interesting. Somebody was in a unique situation that close to getting that, especially with his. You know what I'm saying, coming out, saying he's autistic and then trying to take care of his kids with specific health plans. I would really like to see, like, what's the plan in motion for that? Like you said, you return. A lot of people return at 30, wait until 55. I mean, of course, you don't want to say nobody gonna be gone, but that's a long gap. That's 22 years. That's a big of a gap.

[B]

But how do you sign up just to start working with the NBA, bro? What kind of connections you got to have?

[C]

I know he got a law background for sure. I'm just gonna ask me if he. He tall as hell. No.

[B]

I wonder if you had a jumper back in the day.

[A]

I also asked him, like, you know, I think for me, I think it should be a rule where, like, once you get your second contract that you, like, every year, whatever it is, you gotta put a million dollars in a plan. This will be mine. Like, you got to put a million dollars in that plan in an investment portfolio where it can grow over time every year until you retire. So if you retire with 6, $7 million, you can have 6, $7 million to last you till you get to your pension.

[C]

That's far.

[A]

Yeah, I would do that. I mean, even though you got people that can do it for your financial. But I'd rather be with the NBA, so, you know, like, ain't nobody stealing from you. Because that's a lot of things that happen to players. They get with financial advisors. They be stealing and doing all type of crazy shit.

[B]

Crazy.

[C]

Yeah. You talk about Bees. I know Bees dealt with a lot of backdoor with his finances as well. And you look at shit like Tim Duncan, like, Kareem. Some of the best players that ever.

[A]

Played this sport got robbed. People like. Like. And they obviously. They made millions on millions and millions. But it just. See, the greatest people of all time, they get tricked a little bit, too.

[B]

Yeah. Antoine Walker's still buying all them properties and stuff. But that's still a crazy story, bro.

[A]

Yeah. But I think that'll be. I think that'll save a lot of people, and it would help a lot of people. Cause you don't even know, like, when you playing basketball, you don't notice that. You not saying. If they took it from you, you wouldn't even notice it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Are we gonna take a million? Nobody would care. Okay.

[B]

Nah. Especially if you're doing it for that.

[C]

Most definitely, I think. Another question I ask him how he feels about the media. Cause we've been seeing a lot of stuff going on, especially with this final series. I mean, listen, I'm grateful Patience win a chip, but this is lackluster as shit. And I don't even think it has anything to do with the team's plan. It's like, the coverage with them transitioning, it's just been like, blah. Like, this don't feel like the finals.

[D]

I want to ask you about that. Like, how do y' all feel about, like, now not having, like, finals shit? Like, on the.

[A]

Well, that was people courting themselves.

[C]

Cool. I'm understanding.

[A]

If it's for the finals court, they.

[C]

Said that the cow. Yeah, they say it was a hazard. I'm fine with that. Y' all be playing fast. You don't want to get hurt. But I see y' all do advertising that you can put that shit at least for the broadcast. Maybe if it's not on a court, y' all do everything else. The Toronto Raptors had a fucking hologram.

[A]

So they could do the fake shit.

[C]

They did a hologram behind the bass, which was weird to watch, but you can do Something, bro.

[A]

They could put the fake shit down like they was doing. But my biggest thing is, like, I told y' all about this series, and that's not me hating. The markets are so small. Like, even though it's probably the best you could get as far as basketball, like, these two teams mirror each other. It's a great basket. If you're a basketball fan, it's a great series to watch. But if you just an average sports fan, it's awful.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Right. Cause the market's just too many. You're not really familiar with anything in Indiana.

[C]

Nope.

[A]

You're not familiar with nothing with okc. You might know the players, but not really. Like, people still look at LeBron as the face of the league, and he is. But that's what people still look at. Like, some people just like basketball. Cause they like the Lakers and Kobe Bryant.

[C]

They don't know shit else and don't care.

[A]

Don't care about nothing else. So when I seen that it was going to be Indiana okc, I was like, damn, the ratings are going to be down. But for basketball purists, this is the.

[C]

Best we could get, even to the broadcast team. I know they defensive about Doris Burke. It's just like, shout out to Richard Jefferson. I think Richard Jefferson is dope. He's funny as shit. But we missed the days of Mark Jackson and fucking Coach and Mike Breen. Like, those. We look for those moments. We don't got that right now. And all you get is a lot of consumers who just bash a product. And then you look across the board from different media. Like, y' all not watching these games. I know everybody don't watch these games is impossible. But y' all don't even have the energy to, like, speak highly of the game. Y' all just shit on everything.

[A]

But just the NBA's changed so much. Cause you don't have stars of stars. Like, like I said, when you had Kobe, he was like a star of stars. Like, if you didn't watch basketball, you still knew who Kobe Bryant was.

[B]

That's a fact.

[A]

Regardless of, like, LeBron, if LeBron was in this finals, this would be a whole different story. Because if you don't watch basketball, you still know LeBron James is.

[B]

That's a fact.

[A]

And that's the thing we don't have in this now.

[B]

This new generation. Yeah, that is. Yeah, you gotta kind of know.

[A]

Yeah, you gotta.

[B]

Cause Kobe then was in movies, TV shows, all kind of stuff.

[A]

Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, LeBron got space jam, all that. Whatever but like I was thinking the other day, like, if Tyrese Halliburton in the basketball world, if he got traded, would it stop everything? Like when Luka got traded?

[B]

Nope.

[A]

If SGA got traded, you think it would stop everything? Like when Luka got traded?

[C]

Nope. Nope.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You think it would stop? Yeah, I don't think it'd be the same reaction.

[C]

The people of okc, that's big. But think about it, though. How many stars have already left okc? If it was like the first time, bro, they didn't give a fuck. Really. When KD left, even though he went to the warriors, everybody was shitty that he went there. It wasn't the fact that he left there. It was the fact that he went.

[B]

To the woods up in Trey sga, bro. That's the mvp.

[D]

I think it depends on where he go to. Cause I think the Luca trade was so big, not just because he left, but because he went to the.

[A]

I think him just getting traded, period. Like, it would have been big. It was ridiculous. Like, what, Y' all traded him?

[C]

Yeah, but like you said, I went to the Lakers and LeBron, it was.

[D]

Just like SGA went to the Celtics.

[B]

Yeah, it would be.

[A]

You think it'll be big?

[D]

It would go just as big.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

Depends on who they did. Like, if it was like, SGA for Jayson Tatum, everybody be like, what the fuck?

[A]

Yeah, but I don't think it'll be such a. I think they be like, oh, they ain't. I mean, I see what you said Detroit. They probably be like, I mean, this.

[C]

Is crazy why they did that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I see it was still had.

[A]

A NBA world in a. In a chokehold. But when Luka got traded, this thing was like a global affair. Yeah. This was like. And I was just wondering, would that happen? And maybe that's the feeling we un got in this NBA Finals.

[B]

That's right.

[C]

Because you look at it now, bro. Everybody's wondering where Kevin Durant's about to go more than just about this final. They look like what Cooper Flag is about to do. They look like what the spurs went with the number two pick. Where Giannis might go. It's. People are more victor. When Miano went and kicked it with the Monks and shaved his head, niggas is like, oh, he about to kill next year. Like, all the things the off season. I'm telling you, whoever wins it don't matter if it's Pacers or okc. The next week, that shit gonna be out the cycle, bro. They like all right. Summer league with Kool Flag about to do.

[A]

Yeah, they kind of. They kind of shitted on this finals, and it's.

[C]

It's nasty.

[A]

As a person who loved ball, it's like, damn, man. This is, like, this is good shit, but it's just not the right markets.

[C]

Yeah, it's the pinnacle, bro. Like, this is supposed to be. They treating this like All Star Weekend, bro.

[A]

I've been there, though, because our finals was like that when it was us, Milwaukee and Phoenix. Yeah, it was the same kind of situation.

[C]

And that was good, but that was good basketball.

[A]

Yeah, but it was only. Like, it was only fire to people who watch basketball. Like, it was only good. Like, we. It wasn't lit.

[B]

He said, there ain't too many of these dudes walking outside now and everybody going crazy.

[A]

Hell, no, it wasn't lit. But, like, I played with Lynn Sanity. I told y' all, that's how I thought the finals was about to be. Like, Lynn Sanity. Like, when I tell you it was damn near 700 cameras under the rim when he was just warming up. That's what I thought when I seen the final. Like, we about go to the Finals. Like, I'm gonna get an endorsement deal just for being on the team. Yeah, that was not like that. He was walking that motherfucker. I'm like, dude, this feel like. Damn. Feel like regular practice, man. It's a couple more interviews for people.

[B]

He was damn near like. Like Mike, though, he was just so popular. Yeah, ain't nobody been bigger than that, bro.

[C]

He had a T bow, like, run, bro.

[B]

Yeah. Like, nobody's been that big. That might not ever happen again.

[C]

Again. And you know what's nasty? That's the reason why I've been complaining about tickets. I know it's the finals, but, bro, it feels like a Tuesday game against Bridge, bro. Why am I paying five more times for this, bro? This is crazy. Y' all don't even want to gas the product enough for me to feel like I'm getting my money's worth.

[B]

Yeah, that's where I agree with you on that.

[C]

Like, yeah, like, y' all not even. Yeah, you go watch. First take, like, oh, yeah, that's cool. All right, man. What the Cowboys gonna do? Like, God damn.

[A]

Talking about. And when I was talking about Aaron Rodgers more than they was talking about the game, I was like, damn, that's crazy.

[C]

Disgusting, bro. Honor the game, man. It's a lot of people who give a fuck about the game that y' all don't highlight, man. We gotta look into that more for sure. But I do think KD about to be a spur. I think that's.

[A]

If he do that, he gonna. That's gonna fuck up.

[C]

Katie gonna be a spur and they gonna keep the 2 pick and it's gonna go crazy.

[B]

Yeah. That's gonna destroy the NBA. It's gonna make it fun.

[A]

That don't be fire.

[B]

Don't make it fun.

[C]

Y' all bring the energy back, bro. Devin Booker is rumored to get an extension for two years. That's over 100 plus. It's looking 120. 125.

[B]

Sit down.

[C]

I am a. I'm a son for life.

[A]

Yeah, I love that. I seen that. The Detroit Pistons are going. Going after Miles Turner.

[C]

[C]

The phone is broke.

[A]

It ain't. He's a free agent.

[B]

That's what I'm saying, bro.

[A]

It's not K. Cunningham with Miles Turner. I like it.

[C]

I don't like that energy after we with a chip. We gonna pay miles to 100 mil for three years.

[B]

You already said we win the luxury regardless.

[A]

That ain't gonna be enough money if y' all want it too, Miles. 100 million for three years. That ain't gonna be enough. Boy.

[C]

Miles, you don't even like Coney Dogs like that, bro. You're not joking.

[A]

It's the same place.

[C]

We can get buffs here.

[A]

My Detroit and Indianapolis.

[B]

Not the real ones.

[C]

Mike got the real ones. He here. We can make it happen.

[B]

Nah, bro.

[A]

[C]

The Teemu buffs.

[D]

These technically ain't buffs because I told.

[A]

You I ain't gonna see what they Versace. What are they?

[D]

I mean not. It's still Cartier, but it's just old Buffalo. Cool. It's cool.

[A]

Mike.

[D]

Teemu.com 31Respect.

[A]

Yeah, shipping included. If he go there though, it's the same type of weather.

[B]

Oh, it's the same.

[A]

Yeah. But if you get a four year.

[B]

Deal, they got a Patriots have to pay for 125.

[A]

Four years. 125 for miles.

[B]

[B]

Give Miles Turner 150 million, bro.

[C]

You are up our salary cap.

[B]

No. Give him 150 or let him go. Be happy.

[C]

Honestly, if we win a chip and you go get 150. I'm not mad, bro.

[A]

It's time for him to cash in, bro.

[B]

It is time, bro. 150 right now. He is deserving of it.

[A]

About to be 30, it's time to kill.

[C]

Y' all trying to stress me out, bro. I'm trying to win this and be happy. Y' all trying to tell me that I got half. Thomas Brian is my starting five next year, bro.

[B]

Chip or not, bro. Chip or not, y' all gotta pay Miles, bro. Trip or not out of pocket if.

[C]

He going to Detroit. Jalen Durham better be a pacer. That's all I'm gonna say. I don't even like this talk, but if he's going to Detroit, then Jalen has to be patient, bro.

[B]

Bro. Thomas Bryant, you the new starter.

[C]

Hey, my Thomas Bryant, corner three specialist, bro. I will not speak no more.

[A]

They gonna sign Thomas Bryant to a 3 year 12.

[B]

Thomas Bryan, get your 3 year 25.

[C]

He can get the 3 years 12 in Detroit. I love that. Him and Isaiah Stewart would be great fives for that team.

[B]

Nah, bro.

[A]

Nah. Miles going to Detroit.

[C]

Nah, Miles ain't going to Detroit.

[B]

That'll be fire, though. Why wouldn't y' all give him 150, DJ, like, where's the beef?

[C]

3, 150. Did you see four years? Do you see what we pay everybody else on our team? Aaron Neesmith is a guy's gift, bro. We pay him about 15 a year.

[D]

11.

[C]

Excuse me. Yeah. Nemhardt is what, 18? 19. And they're both locked in for next three years.

[D]

Two.

[C]

No, his contract continued next year, but he signed a very team friendly deal.

[A]

I think it's like 16.

[C]

Yeah, it's very, very affordable. My nigga Obadiah took, you know what I'm saying? Nice little cut to stay with the gang, bro. We can't pay you more than Tyrese or Pascal.

[A]

You ain't paying me more than tyrese. Tyrese only 2, 700.

[C]

Yeah, but 150 is tough, bro.

[A]

He gonna get like 125, though.

[C]

He deserved it, though. On me. He deserved it. You put a banner up, bro. You've been the consummate professional. All the shit you had to deal with and put smutty your name when we had you in Sabonis together, knowing y' all didn't like each other. He deserved to get paid for sure. He 100 mil. For sure.

[B]

Been a great teammate, great locker room guy.

[C]

Yeah, bro. Held down the franchise.

[B]

Y' all had him in trade rumors.

[C]

Every day, literally, bro. I remember going into that practice like I with my. That's when I really started tapping in with my. I said, bro, they put you on A train block every year, bro. And it's not your fault.

[B]

Like, come on, man. Now what y' all want me to do now, man?

[A]

Maybe my money, but I think a.

[C]

Nate Bjorkman said, yeah, we don't really need Miles Turner. That's just it. Hey, yeah, get this. This out of here. He got fired in year one. He started wilding, bro.

[A]

Yeah, I remember y' all did have that coach.

[A]

Billy Bana.

[C]

Yeah, bro, that was.

[A]

That's my. He called me the other day.

[C]

I can't talk about that on camera, but that's the reason why Bill Bano left, bro. Cause Bjorkin was on some.

[A]

Bill Bano. He called me one of the best.

[C]

Defensive coaches in the NBA, bro. As an assistant. Bro it up.

[A]

Hold on. No, not Billy hold on. You talking about Dan Burke.

Damn. I heard none of the players, like, some of the players today, wasn't gonna play for him.

[C]

[A]

Like, bro, he didn't play y' all a thousand minutes, bro. I've never complained about being in the game.

[B]

At least you gonna get paid. Fucking with Tibbs, that's what. I was gonna give you a chance.

[A]

Wow. Man, I wish I would have caught Tibbs when I was, like, 26, 27.

[B]

Yeah, well, should have been different.

[A]

What, you gonna play 40 minutes a game? You're gonna get some stats for.

[C]

Yeah, if you look at the. The tree of contracts paid from Tibs, bro, I better not see no smut on tips. Name, bro.

[A]

Oh, you can't say nothing wrong. Tips with me, Tibs changed my life.

[B]

Nah, facts. But I see, though, why, you know, some players just can't adapt to that, though, bro. But y' all was saying you need to switch it up. You know what I mean? So they probably feel like how. You know, how y' all felt about it.

[C]

It.

[A]

T just needed an offensive coordinator, that's all.

[C]

Come be a defensive coordinator for us, bro. We love you.

I'm like, man, which I want, man. Yeah, I think they're gonna keep OG Rick on the staff, man. Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of room. They said they might just say he had a too big of a voice in the locker room. I'm like, yeah, he's the best player, Daddy. He's supposed to have poppy.

[A]

That's interesting. I don't know. I don't. You know, they're my guys, so.
