When it's tip off time at my house, there are a few things that are must haves on my checklist. My fellow friends and fans. Check my favorite jersey. It is good luck. Check an iconic drink that's a fan favorite.
Shannon Sharpe
Check.
Tom Yamas
Hypnotic can turn any cocktail into an iconic creation. With its game changing color and tropical flavor, Hypnotic should be in everyone's starting five. I consider Hypnotic the point guard of my game day roster because not only is it versatile, like having it on the rocks or as a base for cocktails, it also finishes smooth. So grab a bottle of Hypnotic and make your next basketball watch party iconic. Enjoy the vibrant taste with friends and turn every game into a memorable celebration. Hypnotic where every sip is a slam dunk. Hypnotic Liqueur Bardstown, Kentucky 17% alcohol by volume Hypnotic reminds you to think wisely.

NBC Nightly News with Tom Yamas.
ISO Joe Johnson
Evenings on NBC. The Volume.
Shannon Sharpe
Joe there's still a possibility that Jason Kidd could join the Knicks, per Ian Bagley. The door is not completely closed on the Knicks and Jason Kidd, per people familiar with the dynamic in Dallas. Other outlets reported as recently as last week that Kidd was still a possibility and remains the case as of Monday. Teens were hanging up on the Knicks during their head coach search for shams. Teens would just hang up. Some would say no, then hang up. In other situations, the prophetic was involved. You know, literally F. No responses.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hey, look, JK gonna keep the door open now. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
What is it?
ISO Joe Johnson
Hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
What is it? The Knicks could offer the Mavericks.
ISO Joe Johnson
To what, get J Kid.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Y' all gonna give up OG Y' all gonna give up Mikhail Bridges? Y' all gonna give up Mitchell Robinson? I need something they gonna have to give up.
ISO Joe Johnson
I don't know. I don't know what they, I don't know what they can give up. You know, I know Dallas got that, that number one pick and from my understanding, they holding on to that.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
ISO Joe Johnson
You know what I mean? So I don't even know if this really a job that, that, that J Kid really wants to be honest with you.
Shannon Sharpe
I think he's better in the west with Anthony Davis and Cuba Flag and, and, and Kyrie.
ISO Joe Johnson
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. You, I know, you know, it's going to take probably Kyrie a little while to come back, but I think you got enough pieces over there to keep you afloat until back, you know, to somewhat of a hundred percent, you know what I mean?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
ISO Joe Johnson
So I can't see, honestly, I can't see him, I can't see him taking that Knicks job unless they offer him something that's kind of hard to turn down.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I mean, you gonna put him up there with what, you know, Spoelstra or Steve Kerr. 17 million, 18, 19 million a year.
ISO Joe Johnson
But you in New York compared to.
Shannon Sharpe
But that's what I'm saying. You would, hey, that money that you get in Texas with no state income tax, man, New York cost you like.
ISO Joe Johnson
10%, that's what I'm saying. So I, I don't, I don't, I don't see him, I don't see him, you know, taking his job. And like I said, unless it's something that's kind of hard for him to turn down. I think he's kind of, you know, developed a, a nice little thing there in Dallas and I'm sure he wants to try to get the, get the Mavericks back to the championship winning ways. You know what I mean? What he's got. They really got a chance.
Shannon Sharpe
Before we go to any other topics, we got to talk to Mr. 30 Burger. ISO drove, dropped 30 points for the Detroit amps. 50, casually pulled down 10 boards and reminded everyone why he's still a walking bucket. Look at it.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hold on.
Shannon Sharpe
We. We f to put it back up. Oh, look, Joe, hit it with the.
ISO Joe Johnson
There. Ah, give me that big body. Gotta get to these spots, man. Hey, look, don't bam all levels. Midis post, three ball, four point ball, what? Whatever you want, baby. Damn.
Shannon Sharpe
Joe, you about to be a seventh or eighth man in the NBA right now, huh?
ISO Joe Johnson
Man, listen, y' all think I be talking? Y' all think I just be talking? Man, I can get somebody about 15 off. 15 minutes. 15, 20 minutes off the bench.
Shannon Sharpe
How many points you give me? 15, 20? Joe?
ISO Joe Johnson
10. I'll give you anywhere from 10 to 15. Yeah, I'll be efficient. I'm gonna make plays, I'm gonna play the right way. Yeah, but I'm gonna tell you something now. This, this once a week thing, this. This my type of. This is my speed, though, okay? I ain't gonna lie to you.
Shannon Sharpe
That's ego, the knees.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hey, I ain't finna sit here and lie to you. You hear me? This once a week thing, Hey, I can do this in my sleep.
Shannon Sharpe
Thank you, Detroit Amps social media team for providing us with these cold ISO Joe highlights. Make sure y' all go follow the amps on IG at Detroit Amps and you get an opportunity to see ISO Joe. Who y' all play this week?
ISO Joe Johnson
Joe, we got the 305. We got Beasley and Lance Stevenson and Mario.
Shannon Sharpe
That could be a bar burner.
ISO Joe Johnson
It's going to be some smoke. Hey, you see them boys game? You see that first?
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, man, Lance getting into it with Dwight. I thought Dwight was going to dub it, but Lance, like, man, they tried to talk Dwight out of his game. Ain't it because Beasley stayed talking because he.
ISO Joe Johnson
I think Dwight is so polarizing and, you know, you look at him in stature, you know, he's so big and strong. And to my understanding, they say he was talking a lot of junk and lost Vegas at the combine, you know, talking about how he was going to come in and, you know, destroy the league and kill this and the third. So I guess some dudes took offense to it. Cause they sure ain't let him off the hook, boy. Hey, that was WWE right there. That was basketball. That wasn't be.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm like oh, my goodness.
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah. Yeah. Everything was borderline in that game. That game was so long. It was borderline. But the competitive edge, it was there. You know, I thought they competed at a real high level. And you could tell, man, it was just such a buzz throughout the whole arena, just the entire game. Like, man, it was a good game to watch. I just. I don't really care for all the antics and all the fighting and getting in there, because the league ain't for that, bro. Like, we on national tv and we want it to be a great game, a great competitive game. Not necessarily guys wrestling, throwing punches. I'm cool with the trash talking and all that, but when I. When things get borderline or you throwing punches and we all on the floor, man. Come on now.
Shannon Sharpe
Do you think. Do you think some of the antics went over. Over the line?
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, yeah, I think, you know, I think due to, you know, I think both teams kind of lost their emotions, you know, throughout the game. Meaning every time a guy scored, you seen guys in each other face, shit, they were down there, head button. You know what I mean? I was like, hey, but it's just two teams that was compet and just trying to impose they will on each other. And I just felt things kind of got a little out of hand.
Shannon Sharpe
You think Lance and Dwight was serious?
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, I think in the midst of that game, in between the lines, they really had a real feud with each other. And you can tell everything was so physical, man. Like, let me tell y' all something. Chad, y' all understand this, man. The Big Three is probably the most physical basketball that I've been a part of.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
ISO Joe Johnson
Like, it's only. It's six guys out there, so you only got two other teammates who can help you. And a lot of stuff is borderline. The refs let you get away with a lot. It's far more physical than the NBA or any other, you know, basketball league that I've ever played in. So I'll definitely give it that. Cause I'm gonna tell you, I ain't gonna lie. I felt like I got into a fight with 10 men when I woke up on Sunday. I was like, it's real piss. It's a lot of bumping, grind, bruising. Like, it's tough, bro, but it's fun at the same time. We all. I just love competing.
Shannon Sharpe
You ain't gonna fall for Lance antics, are you?
ISO Joe Johnson
Nah, nah, I'm way too intact for that. And then plus, on top of that, man, when you got a lot of game, you ain't Got deals.
Shannon Sharpe
You ain't gotta do all that talking. He tried to talk you out your game?
ISO Joe Johnson
Nah. Yeah. See, and I think Dwight, you know, what he has to understand is, you know, it takes a while to kind of really understand the three on three game, right? But just like the late great Bill Russell said, man, this game is about buckets. You gotta be able to score the basketball, right? Period, point blank. You know, we going to 50. This ain't a time restraint. Like it ain't 10 minutes on the clock and you trying to hold the lead. The hardest part of three on three, especially in the big three, is when you reach 40 points and you try to close the team out to get 50. Because guys started to get a little tight. It ain't them little comfortable shots you was taking early and making. They ain't dropping no more. Cause we done got in them legs now you a little tired, you know what I mean? And you're able to get away with a little more as far as physicality. Physicality and kind of wrestling a little bit. So it's a lot tougher than what.
Shannon Sharpe
People think because you gotta go get the 50, but you gotta win by two, right?
ISO Joe Johnson
You gotta win by two.
Shannon Sharpe
Wow. So let me ask you a question, Joe. What's the secret of dealing with a trash talker? Cause I'm sure there are a lot of guys in the NBA that talk about off he with us, self check, you know, whatever the case they make or whatever the case may be. How do you deal with that? How do you compartmentalize what Joe has to do and why all these guys are chirping or the bench is like offshot or whatever. Chirping, how do you deal with that?
ISO Joe Johnson
You gotta go at the ass. You can't sit back and let them. You can't sit back and let them chirp or let them be aggressive offensively, man, you gotta take it to em, you know what I mean? Just like anything you got a guy who's being aggressive, man, you gotta take it to him, bro. This what type of game it's gonna be? Okay, let's go. Let's do it. Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Were there a lot of trash talking in your game on Saturday?
ISO Joe Johnson
It was a lot. Yeah, it was some trash talking, but it was mainly just good competition, you know what I mean? It wasn't like, not nothing overly, but you know, you can see guys kind of get revved up after they score. They make a big play, which is pretty typical, you know what I mean? But you just keep it moving.
Shannon Sharpe
But in the big Three is not make it take it, is it?
ISO Joe Johnson
Nah, it ain't make it take it. It ain't make it take it. So, you know you owe Joe.
Shannon Sharpe
Joe. That's the way we used to play. One on one. Make it take it.
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, right. Yeah. You don't even want to get the ball back.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, exactly.
ISO Joe Johnson
If it was make it take it, you probably see a lot more lopsided games, you know what I mean?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, absolutely. Cause that's the whole thing. That's why you got to shoot for it. Nah, give me the ball n we shoot for with. I ain't give it to you.
ISO Joe Johnson
Right, right. Yeah. Back in the day, we played especially one on ones. Hey, it's make it take it 21. Yeah. I hope y' all. Y' all probably ain't gonna even touch the ball.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Yeah. I love 21. Because it was every man for himself. And, man, look here, boy. You got the 19, boy, the whole squad.
ISO Joe Johnson
I was gonna be on your.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, boy, you better hit a heroic. You better hit one of them Steph Curries. Cause you were not gonna get nothing easy.
ISO Joe Johnson
No, son. Hey, look. And then, you know, in 21, you can't really call fouls. So when you got 18, 19, you trying to go for the winning bucket. They be fouling everything. Oh, no, there ain't no foul.
Shannon Sharpe
Exactly. Joe, do you think it was like when you first got into the league? Were there more trash talking when you first got into the league or when you was leaving it?
ISO Joe Johnson
When I first got in. See, when I first got in, I came in at 01. So that's kind of, you know, right after the 90s. So you still got a lot of those guys.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, you got kg.
ISO Joe Johnson
You got kg. Gary Payton. Gary Payton talked to the refs, and he demand, like they owed him money. You hear me talking about some of the stuff I heard GP Say to refs, Man, I can't even believe he didn't get texts like, you know what I'm saying? It was like conversation. But I'm like, wow. Like anybody else. They gonna tee you up quick. So you had certain guys who just had that reputation, and the refs knew it.
Shannon Sharpe
They respect it.
ISO Joe Johnson
It's almost kind of like Draymond, you know? Draymond get away with a lot, you know?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, absolutely.
ISO Joe Johnson
A lot of stuff he does is borderline. But he get were far more than what they catch him with. You know what I mean? Yeah. So, but.
Shannon Sharpe
And I think the thing with Draymond, he's like, let me go and get it out because I know they don't want to throw me out the game. So they're going to be real head. They're going to give me a long leash before they throw me out the game. So I'm going to push it right up to the. I'mma push it up to the limit, right?
ISO Joe Johnson
And if I'm doing it every game, you ain't calling it every game. You ain't going to call it every game. So they get them every now and then, but for the most part, you know, he get away with a lot.
Shannon Sharpe
Boy, y' all got a. Ooh, that's gonna be a good one.
ISO Joe Johnson
It is. Hey, you know.
Shannon Sharpe
Cause you know Beasley. You know Beasley gonna be going at you, Joe.
ISO Joe Johnson
Oh, yeah. But I'm gonna be going right back. Well, I don't know what y' all think this is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. See, the thing is, people say. And Beasley is a hell of a player, man. It's like. But at the same time, you gotta make him work defensively. You can't let him sit and just be comfortable. You know what I mean?
Shannon Sharpe
Right?
ISO Joe Johnson
Oh, yeah. It's gonna be a damn good game. I'm looking forward to it.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, that thing coming.
ISO Joe Johnson
Y' all better tune in.
Shannon Sharpe
ISO Joe B E's first to 50 win.
ISO Joe Johnson
It's going to be a good one, baby.
Shannon Sharpe
The Dallas Mavericks accidentally leaked plans for the number one draft pick on their website with the first pick, the Dallas mavericks, in the 2025 NBA draft select kept secret in America.
ISO Joe Johnson
Right. They ain't leaked nothing. Hey, we already knew what they were doing.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Who the hell y' all think? Oh, we thought y' all was gonna take somebody else.
ISO Joe Johnson
I just, I, I, I honestly, I thought they was gonna probably trade that pick and then go get kd, but to my understanding, they keeping it.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Yeah, I thought that, yeah, that would, that, you know, you wanted Giannis. I mean, I was like, okay, hey, hey, we got number one pick and another big. But I mean, you think about it, the Lakers, I mean, the Milwaukee, they traded Kareem. They traded Ray Allen.
ISO Joe Johnson
So.
Shannon Sharpe
Trading Giannis wouldn't surprise you.
ISO Joe Johnson
Man, you can't even. Do you know what type of team.
Shannon Sharpe
That would be with Yannis, you don't know Giannis.
ISO Joe Johnson
You a. If the Mavericks got Giannis, you, I mean, without Kyrie, you would still be. I think you would still be top of the Western Conference, at least top five with Giannis.
Shannon Sharpe
And so, so you say if Giannis went to the. If Giannis went to the Mavericks. And they had to give up Kyrie. So Giannis ain't AD.
ISO Joe Johnson
Nah, I'm saying if you traded that Cooper flag.
Shannon Sharpe
Cooper flag, okay.
ISO Joe Johnson
And you had Giannis and AD leading the charge into Kyrie, man.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
ISO Joe Johnson
I'm talking about the next year. Next year or two, you. You could potentially win a. Win a title.
Shannon Sharpe
Lavar Ball continues to push the LA Clippers to quit playing and trade for LaMelo. The Clippers bring those G Boy ball boys home. Let's go get a championship and quit messing around. All you fans who won a championship back in la, Yes. A whole new arena with the ball boys. Who ain't going to go up there and watch that show?
ISO Joe Johnson
Who you giving up to go get LaMelo, man?
Shannon Sharpe
I don't know. They're not trading James Harden for him. They're not trading Kawhi and they're not trading Zubas. So you got Norman Powell, you got done. I mean, I'm trying to. What else?
ISO Joe Johnson
Nah, man, the Hornets ain't doing that. Not for.
Shannon Sharpe
Of course not.
ISO Joe Johnson
Not for that young, talented guy.
Shannon Sharpe
And I think the thing is, maybe. Look, it's been proven Lamelo and Lonzo can play. I don't think Jello Lavar gonna have to get that one up. That. That dog ain't gonna hunt.
ISO Joe Johnson
Oh, he's still trying to get Jello in the league.
Shannon Sharpe
Yep.
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, they said Jello. Jello got a whole new career now. He ain't studying that basketball. He. That man trying to come up with a hot. Another hot single right now.
Shannon Sharpe
He on him.
ISO Joe Johnson
That's a rap. That's a r. Hey, look, he done found his niche.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean, to have two sons. I mean, hey, I mean, I. I guess it be great. I mean, because with the Holiday. I think it's three holiday boys, right?
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
And he. They got them in there. But, you know, hey, but look, I.
ISO Joe Johnson
I can understand him wanting, you know, Lamelo in la, obviously, that's his hometown in that new arena. He'll be box office in there. But if you. The Hornets, you can't do that.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he box office, but he's another one, man. He gotta do something with them ankles, man. His ankles might be worse than Steph Curry's. And you remember how Steph had ankle problems early in his career?
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, yeah. To try to keep him healthy, man, they gotta try to find a way.
Shannon Sharpe
He might need. Hey, call Steph and see what type of braces Steph be wearing, man. Cause Mellow, man. Every year it's. Every year there's an injury going on.
ISO Joe Johnson
Just gotta get him on that. Gotta get him on that mean fitness plan on getting.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, the thing. Well, his dad, his dad's a worker, was a workout warrior. His dad played football. That. I mean, if Jello got a body like his dad and you look at Lonzo and Melo, they got the fan frames, they don't have that, that size and that oomph like the dad had.
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, but they can. But I think Lamelo can get like that wiry strength. I don't think he needs to get bigger. He just needs to get stronger. You know what I mean? Like we talked about the other night, you have to. You have to enjoy lifting. You have to lift weights to be able to make it through an entire NBA season. You playing too many games on a night to night basis and it wears your body down. And if you're not fueling your body, meaning lifting weights to keep your body strong, you're ultimately going to deal with these little knickknack injuries. That's just, that's just what it is.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
ISO Joe Johnson
So you got to get him on this main fitness plan, man. Get him right. He'll be all right.

Off time at my house, there are a few things that are must haves on my checklist because you know I have to have an iconic watch party. First of all, my fellow friends and fans. Check. Got them in the building. My favorite jersey. It's lucky. Yes. Check. I'm wearing it right now. An iconic drink that's a fan favorite. Check. Hypnotic can turn any cocktail into an iconic creation. With its game changing color and tropical flavor, Hypnotic should be in everyone's starting five. For me, I consider Hypnotic like the point guard of my game day roster because not only is it versatile, like having it on the rocks or as a base for cocktails, and it also finishes smooth. Qualities every point guard must have. And just like the banners in my stadium letting people know that we take championships seriously, having Hypnotic at my watch parties lets people know that I also take quality seriously since it's crafted with superior ingredients for a championship level drinking experience. So you're saying I know hypnotic is great, but describe it. What's the flavor? What's going on here? Well, it's got a unique mix of premium vodka, tropical fruit juices and a hint of cognac. Again, to put it in basketball terms, this is balancing out my roster. We call this balance in the business and it's a hit at watch parties. The hypnotic comes out. We're adding a splash of color and flavor to every buzzer beater moment and everyone has a drink they can enjoy that tastes amazing and Guess what? You can find Hypnotic nationwide at your local liquor store or favorite bar. It's probably easier to get than, you know, those courtside seats which are available, but look, Hypnotic is available everywhere. So the next time you need a break from the action with a distinctive timeout, look no further. Grab a bottle of Hypnotic and make your next basketball watch party iconic. Enjoy the vibrant taste with friends and turn every game into a memorable celebration. Hypnotic. Where every sip is a slam dunk. Hypnotic Liquor Bardstown, KY 17 alcohol by volume. Hypnotic Reminds you to think wisely. Drink wisely.

ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So that's what you had was a moment. You ain't like that.
ISO Joe Johnson
For real though, they gonna always be able to flip it on you and.
Shannon Sharpe
Give a chance, man. Tyra said, what's up, Uncle ISO? Do you feel like Magic gave up too much for bang? Does this make the Magic contenders in the east going forward? They gave up a lot. I ain't gonna lie. They gave up a lot. They gave up a lot on.
ISO Joe Johnson
But it is an upgrade. I think it's upgrade from Caldwell, Pope and Cole, meaning he's a guy who can do multiple things. Obviously he can defend. He can defend. He can shoot it.
Shannon Sharpe
He can shoot.
ISO Joe Johnson
So he gonna play great off Pablo and Wagner over there.
Shannon Sharpe
Yep.
ISO Joe Johnson
So I think they got some great pieces and adding him is definitely gonna make them a lot better in that Eastern Conference for sure.
Shannon Sharpe
I do, I agree. Look, Suggs come back healthy. So now you got Suggs and Bane in the backcourt. You got Bankero and you got Wagner. With Wendell Carter Jr. You still got Isaacson that can back up. So it's gonna. Yeah, I like black. So they got some guy, Mo Wagner, he's still there.
ISO Joe Johnson
I think. I think what I think what Orlando was thinking was they needed more offensive foul power. And I think Baines give them that because when you look in the postseason, they struggle to get points. Yeah, Bancaro, he was special, you know, in the series, but they need other guys to be able to step up, to be able to help him out along the way. And I think this will definitely, you know, keep them in right there in the thick of things, especially in the Eastern Conference. Eastern gonna be wide open next year.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, yes, I agree.
ISO Joe Johnson
Don't be surprised if you see them in the semis or not.
Shannon Sharpe
I can see Them. I can definitely see them at the top. It all depends on. Let's see how this Milwaukee shapes up with Giannis. Yeah, but Boston is not going to be the power. They'll be good, but they're not winning those 60 games, not without JT.
ISO Joe Johnson
Nah, I don't think so either.
Shannon Sharpe
Cleveland going to be Cleveland. The question is, can Donovan get them over the hump in the Postseason? They won 64 games and they got. And they got. They got. They. They got beat 4:1 in the semis.
ISO Joe Johnson
I think. I think with Cleveland, you gotta get the young fella, Darius Garland. He has to get healthy. I know he just had foot surgery, so we don't know how long it's gonna take him to get back to who he is.
Shannon Sharpe
They say like four or five months. They said he should be ready for training camp.
ISO Joe Johnson
I think that's for her. Them in the postseason, too. I do, too, because he missed a few games. And you put so much onus on Mitch or. Who?
Shannon Sharpe
Donovan Mitchell.
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah, on Donovan. Mitch and Donovan Mitchell to. To be sensational night in, night out. Now, he was special, but he needed some help along the way. Yeah, and having Darius Garland, you know, elite guard play, you know, that's. That's. That's essential, especially having it in the postseason.
Shannon Sharpe
Avenue 77 is. I think Memphis is trying to set up for Bronnie James. The next two to three years, you're going to have teams tank. You got Mellow son, Gil's son, LeBron's son, coming to Memphis in the next two to three years. Memphis is getting a head start on them picks.
ISO Joe Johnson
Nah, I don't see that.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't see either. I think.
ISO Joe Johnson
I think they gonna ride or die with John JJ and hopefully those guys. Those guys can, you know, take them to the next level, man, because they got some nice comparable pieces to those dudes. You know, they got some pieces over there. They can help them. They just gotta, you know, get focused, man, and get. Get back to that elite play, keep Ja healthy.
Shannon Sharpe
Smith said no way in God green earth is bang worth four pigs. Four pigs, Pope and cold. Them short T. Rex arms. Magic must be on that powder.
ISO Joe Johnson
Hey, listen, Magic. Magic say they needed. They needed some help, man. So they was willing to overpay a little bit.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, they definitely overpayed.
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah. So I don't know what the Grizzlies can do with those two picks. Hopefully, you know, they can get some pieces.
Shannon Sharpe
Well, you get. If you. If you're in a situation where you can get a Chad homegrown or you can get a Jalen Williams.
ISO Joe Johnson
He gonna be looking good to go to Memphis.
Unknown
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
If you. The draft picks.
ISO Joe Johnson
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You saying yeah. Those draft picks add up. Yeah. You good? Well, only time will tell for that, but, yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
And the thing is, are you going to be bad enough to get those? Because the thing is, Orlando said we're not gonna be bad enough. So y' all gonna. Them. These picks ain't gonna be no lottery picks. We're anticipating. It's kind of like we're anticipating being 28th, 29th or 30th, so that's where you're gonna be getting picks from. So we ain't worried about. That's why we didn't protect them. Cause we not gonna be. We don't need to.
ISO Joe Johnson
Right, Right. I agree. I agree.
Shannon Sharpe
Grizzly AK Grizz said people just don't understand how physical is how much work you put nugget. It was a joy to see live. Thanks for the love show.
ISO Joe Johnson

Shannon Sharpe

ISO Joe Johnson
Hey, listen, but I think Montrell was. He gonna be great for the league. I think Lil Nas, who is a YouTube sensation, he. He played great against us. So the. The. The. The. You know, it's. It's. It's looking up for those guys. They just gotta continue to work, man. We was able to make a mean comeback. Like I say, man, this is. The big three is different. This ain't about the time. We ain't playing against the time. You gotta have guys who can get you a bucket period, point blank.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
ISO Joe Johnson
Yeah.
