Vulgarest, our old friend from podcast pass he's been worked for those mavericks for the last couple years. You dont know its history, its amazing. He was a professional gambler who, eventually, in the two thousands became really the best basketball gamble on the plane,
and parlay dad into all kinds of stuff, including podcast appearances, a mile park ass than the year when we came to the ringer created, the ringer came on the best part a few times in their work, and I doubt and fur Dallas behind the scenes. Thou he's out he's out a basketball but still watching basketball and enjoy
and went to talk to him in one second, first, our friends from projects were taken, as it is a fact that otherwise they bought Bulgaria sincere. He has been on for a while. He go back to the great lady,
she started popping on there. You were known as the professional gambler date, a guy hot, take twitter artist, but the takes weren't even that hot, sometimes sometimes they were like perfectly cooked and and then also you start work for the mavericks. I don't think you've been on for like four years. Bob is that possible. I think this summer before I officially started working for the mavericks. I think we did a free agent
That was the last one. There are eight, so you at last they mavericks coopers. I do want to rehash, although what have we? Maybe we can get into that later in the pod you went on Pablo Torres POD, you can type broke down on the basics of what it was. I took for fresh antimony, get that you're that I want to talk about topical basque busta. First, you went to maps clippers last night. You are in a situation.
trying to build the team around LUCA with some limitations in a big pausing. His contract Qana hogging up a lot of the cap and tried to work on the fringes, guys you can shoot corner three
These two way, guys who you could find and cut it cheaper, valued type, a things. How do you built around LUCA? What what do you think you guys they wrong the last two years? What do you think they should do
You were still advising them would be the number one move you'd make. I think I think it's, I think,
cases. People think that super easy to build around him, because if you don't you
transcendent talent! I think that's definitely true, bar some challenges because
You need to have dies. You can defend that are very, very high level because he's not he's. I don't awful defender. Buddies, definitely gets hunted on defence alone
and so you didn't I
defend. You also need dies, the my opinion, who are happy playing the role of defence.
and doing the greater variety. Look like that. No harden rockets,
you had a bunch of guys were happy being spoon fed by Harden Harden and the ball for almost the entire game on an offence and then geyser positions to succeed.
I mean there's lots of different ways to do it. I don't necessarily know that my theory on the way is this
Only the best lay like a like our terms: Helio Centralism, where you want him to have the ball. You want everyone to cut up operate around his orbit. That seems to be the way that maximizes, the overall skill in a laboratory o the team. Now our guys happy to do that in my experience, not every players,
b with that which makes sense guys wanna get their own stocks, they wanna get paid, they want to feel involved, they might not tries hard on defence if they're not getting it
countries on our fence arm, so it's challenging. I think you just have to find players who can be such a ball on DE players who can play the past
lines who are good at helping in recovering mobile defenders and user
when he dies, who are able to hit and make three point shots and space the war
sailor Brian and was in a little bit of the same situation over the course of his career, knew it
a lot of guys play with him who didn't necessarily succeed with them, like they did with their previous team or even in some cases like you seem that wizards right now, the next time I was watching our doubts, coop scandalous that I should have gone, I decided not to go. I have some regrets, but you watch
ed. Their base, courageous, double teeming LUCA near the end. In their hat perfectly fine gone, the troops are perfectly fine. Having a foreign three situations line is LUCA gives up.
Yeah. That was necessarily I mean. Both teams did that and I don't think he was necessarily sharp deepens. I mean it, it's not that hard any personal
look out one he's doubled, is fantastic. I find at making the right ass early in the game. Sometimes Verlag electing Trivial tried you like a fancy across court pass. I could pick up that happened
earlier in the game, but when it comes down to winning time and he's dialed evidence not looking for highlighting
feeling the game out some very simple:
so before were saying the screen, who has a very simple passed through the courts
and it's just a lot dreaming. I think I'm I didn't look at the data, but I'm fairly certain
the highest number of ordered three maps and attempted it again this year,
do like it was open the whole game. Yeah. Meantime you put to on the ball like that and needed
he'd have someone capable mature. All who can get the ball make ass make the easy ass. I think they went through a different. They went through a different variation of guys Dodo
when its method was the screens that are in the guy making the past once or twice Maxie do the couple times they try would like will evolve.
I'm really in a game in that wasn't working, you have to have a guy who's able to make that shore all past like dream on. Obviously the best,
the World Bank or one of the best in the world at making the short role ass. Yet the thing- and this is why, when they traded set curry, which
you know you're back on Richard Saint being the Miami guy and that the Philly guys you're making a trade that that I know you. You are involved in that trade
or was it Albert
how would I lie there? My good idea here I mean it wasn't. My trade I mean I was invited, suggests
There was a big deal was already agreed upon when it was told, but I'm a white jacket and a lot. I think they knew that we decided, or they had besides,
It was decided to makes available. I'm anything about that. You get that. I got a lot on social immediately
my God, if only we had set period. What I love that priority
but the main reason why the team signed them to begin with, but it just challenging because if you have pity on me
and you have LUCA andy- and I you hurt him
with Junior Andy and you have set carry on the other, four guys were not necessarily pause.
one on one defenders- I mean gradually watched game, southern, be seventy,
Mixers hawks here that people forget this
having heard or went off in that game. Specifically,
as he was targeting hurry. I mean I was
in such an amazing reported shooter he's probably had his basket. I, like you, I think it's out of people really realise how good his back, but that's what the Mavericks Miss Morris's basketball, like you on the court of putting people in there
spots on areas, ability and creation to like his ability and all last ten seconds of a play, his ability get his own shop. Yeah offensively ease, he's he's
Some sounds ridiculous, acerbities, almost without peer, because it stretches the floor so well. Super hyper efficient on offence, but defensively is its challenge.
To have someone like that on the core in the play out series, unless you have like he's a perfect fit in Philadelphia because they had said,
they had em bead. But even in that case, like I challenge people to go back and watch in southern, not that you want to make one day
What about all series the Hawks made a plan to tackle amateur
yeah. This is very challenging, and so now you got now. You ve got three guys like that. I mean ran up
you're? Not under the goal is, it is not to have a break persistency. The goal is to increase your chances to when the Klaus, and sometimes you have to take a big swings and take chances. That being said,.
looking back now once she was made available, new, probably gonna got more formal, but that that seems to be pretty apparent here. The other thing, if you just starting backwards,
let's say, look as the only guy in the team and new you're, almost picking it like a fantasy team, and you could just add people set curries, actually a fun fit for him,
as Russia is now you're at you have that other pieces that would take care of the deed ass if you haven't those two guys, but the fact that pausing guesses on that team to now
again, all I mean you needed the events of anchor for sure and I think, with posing, as it was never really about being annulled thinkers
what use a terrible defender- that's not true at All- is just he had
mobility issues due to the injuries that caused it to be
let me now will be of a target on diesel
let me tell
book on the mavericks. Where you goes, you go small verses. This team, offensively myself, it
a bunch, and it is very talked for this change the default
in space, and so, if you
improved mobility which it seems like he has in place better than Ben now. Maybe things are a little bit different arm, but
the last two years, it was a challenge. What are we
of him as an asset or a,
that's? What everyone a cock as he's making thirty one mania you look at it sat just look at his. That's like this is seven straight:
is now where he's just twenty eight every game. Now we ve got guys like that. Third guys,
obviously in the night, is the two thousands where was like inertia,
for Dorothy him, a man, twenty eight must be good and it's out. Actually he might not be a winning where Anton Walker was like that a little bit from
asked him the area that can get the stats but they're, not necessarily winning prayers and either in his room protections good. He either as a stretch. Five on paper makes sense
if he was making fifteen million dollars a year. I think teams would thank. You is an asset right
yeah. I mean I'm not here to, I think, he's a forum where I had. I think like that, if you look up players,
are making MAC. I mean. There's MAX contracts and, lastly, the way the salary cap restructured its unfair to compare them because you have Lebron James lacks contract. Presupposing smacks contract. Ok, obviously, those requires not equivalent blushed and manages its top, because there
no gap in between MAX in the middle of that he's, never is never gonna get a bubble contracts. Those needs arising of his under the maximum albert some other teams. Probably the camera max surgeon.
Becomes a made less about back, it's more about how you like what the fit
Is that how you can build around the edges? Like, I think, if peace is the MAX die on your team and he's the only MAX guy, then you have the bill
The round him- I don't know- that's, that's necessarily a great squad because, in my opinion, you need to have your max guys need before handing creating ones for guys worse.
dominate like em, bead or, like that everything, so it's tricky pressure. So what is the right thing for him?
If I like, there's borrowing facing offer Katy NO for Cape, hey, there's, probably ten teams that have kicked
fires on him in a real way. Right is this: is this
more of an asset? If he's not an afterthought and it off, what could we build something around him? What is that look like? Is that even possible? I think if you look at the number of what teams
built around a bag? I mean they're, just art and illnesses linked to them in this day and age best fires are all I'll. Have my guards said it less? It's less! It's just like my thing. Was it necessarily anything specific?
Irma idols, energetic specific related towards him. It's just a physician itself and the way they gave us is skewed towards offence.
writers. Very few teams like you, can make the argument that you talk with go. There is an example:
that's an angle. There is a dominant wherever wholesale he gets play off the floor in the browser is one big doesn't get paid off the foreign followed up series I mean
happens, a lot
go bearing the enemy and limiting its necessary. Accurate got laid off worn by last year. Its army yoke is really the exception
obviously, there's no blockages appoint guard in a centres body there. His life
Larry Bird, basically, his fair com, a center. I mean
just isn't like they're, just like even Micro, Anthony towns, amazing, often supplier, big,
the winning team around him out on all remains to be seen as just really tricky. It's every every dominant player in the game will ask how many years has been a ball and right wing
guard. I was gonna bring up towns with the key thing because I think he's you think he's like the rich man's k, p and a lot of ways, Reddy's, better, better shooter but say items
its above like a stretch, five yet another one. That is, I mean the one thing and one thing hounds has going forum is: he is just a better locos fire, even though most of the shots are coming from Pre yeah, it's tricky pressure from its rhetoric. I mean that the whole point of being a centre, like your stretch, centre, struck five. It is, can you punish teams that switch verses, you and historically that
as has been the case with a lot of these guys, and so is just a question of. Can you improve upon that? Is their skills you could do is? Are things cheesy pooling says that a bit of a disadvantage, because using
centre of gravity were, he doesn't have like it's hard. It's out from the global down. Fires are slipping the Balkan, unlike the salt experts, on him all the time. Yes, but honey. We played
pelicans one first games few years ago and they put drew holiday are again and we thought it was a mismatch in the late. My aspect of the game and it just it just talk fees, but that being cities he's he works hard he wants to improve is gay. He wants to get better and I think it's it's something about in this house.
He does whatever you ask him to do like yeah, just to design a dealer in that regard.
We complain at all during the playoffs. Even maybe wasn't invisible
happy. So I know I'm I'm I'm I'm a ban at this personally. I just think it makes a challenging to cap yourself out for power like that trade assets,
you better make sure that you can fill out the rest of the roster around.
And we will see a big demeaning, gonna, decent team this year that their dappling glass, so gay, you figure after after you got governed State Phoenix and then you tat, theres a drop off and they have a chance to get that for spot just by sheer power, LUCA and the fact that some other teams of that's a bad injure. Luck like the Denver thing giving porter that
standing at the gate played like a hundred and twenty games, total yeah slipped almost out of the lottery, because his back was so scared teams and it was a pretty small sample size. They didn't have to go I'll in they felt like they needed to and now he's hurt and his check out back specialists advised Denver fan out begun, not like his extension has even kicked India and again, I think, he's
like a hundred twenty career games. Twenty pile games, all my dad Yasser Arafat,
I was a Denver fan. I would be happy that they built a steam out of like popping up. They got your kitchen, the second round,
yeah yeah. I, like you, gotta, be a guy, you ve gotta, be they ve done it's like it's the NIT, picking s it takes to be upset about this.
We are really do you like. I did the latter. I just don't know what they are not what does enable these extensions a year before you have rightly do that alone. There trying to win
I had?
I would add that jobs can be one more full season. I, what is thy healthy? I don't I don't know if you're batteries, great shouted, the job is working hard and didn't it takes. To that extent, I gotta know I'm with you. I guess I just have a hard time.
Disparaging bought in real time. When you look at every other thing, they ve done has been disliked strokes of brilliance in terms of like finding your kitchen Murray in a building. Around
age, is like being competitive. That's a team that
really had a window to when the two, like Canada sneaky Window to actually grab a final spot last share them
everything from marine that because you think, like all the things that could have stuck in their in Phoenix who at
is better this year than they were last year, but Phoenix grab this opportunity, but then you think I'd Davis just doesn't get hurt that lake or Sun Series
Where do they re, even whereby the Lakers yeah two things are true? Phoenix sons are very.
Team and they got extremely lucky last year they might have got the finals anywhere, but the fact that, like their path, the finals was made easier and so yeah you're a hundred percent right. Who knows what happens if more
is healthy. Last year was a weird year. I'm in the last two years were weird years, been recovered arm a ghetto still coming the reset button, and you look at the money. How many plans games that
two teams are made the sign of the previous year when last year they one zero right of binding. Swept the money gets up yeah. Maybe it's up and run the Lakers.
one like one or two games, or rather like that since Phoenix ARM
While I do like even Dallas, who I think could have been a sleeper in the red situation in two years and where you just drawn
you're drunk out, and I had my two threes-
That will mean that we are not worse line up our match up the papers and funding. We made a flow chart of like what we did.
had been in the last few games and the regular season
to avoid the clippers, and I think they did.
something very similar another match up with us. They wanted to play us yet so did you? I think the effort at the guy who they posted up, like twenty,
you times
was like, etc the studio somebody, Daniel Torah, Wharton or something
they argue Saudi Arabia. Yet, when the mark bats, in a word for the gay everything tat you had had both gave on had both ain't gonna had our gave in their data, we needed to do whatever they did, so they want we need when they lie. Remember I was texting. You you re going. Nuts Ii were likewise account been felt in his letter. This list, islands is getting far too many of them.
like the Lakers. Where are the Lou? I forget it
what we are. We had also try to try to explain it to the powers that be
I guess I got or understand what this means that might just follow the chart like if that no defend means they're like I was pretty funny because
I had over for LUCA that in Dallas this year I think it was like forty eight and it was a combination of I didn't like their division, but also
is the easiest. Division in the area are good guys and from a luck standpoint, bad, but the last two years, so maybe just with the matching up with quiet coopers like just a nightmare for the new think like I have a couple breaks, go, maybe there's a trade. Did I move but, more importantly, if you really think this guy's special, which I think I do at the Gue, do too there is a path with younger super duper. Do
stars their third season league forces in fifth season somewhere. There were they just over a chief and all this out in there in the conference farmers of the files on your neck wow. Oh my god, he p dragged them here and I
and still am play you haven't, we would add a really tough time with feed it. I'm just because there so surgical, interrelate game, execution, YAP and they had a bunch of guys naked
that little green on road. They all agreed that a great job Barton him by the bridge,
is there a prouder, no johnsing, it probably garden at a pinch? What about this year, though? What about this year? I think I made anything.
Who do I like in the west through, and I say it ike with with, could they over achieve? I think this year's demography, yet because Golan States, I think, better obvious
Finally, I think, better than last year than you have the utopian and then the wild Card Davis and the broad and whoever their parliament
yeah I don't even know, I think it's. I think it's interesting to even have below
There's like this wasn't a leg was abroad. We ve been talking about. The Lakers mean like what have we see
from this through nineteen game that we hold this time. That was our next segment sentiment. I gotta you that you never gave it you. Never let me tell you how to read it all. I was sorry jumped up another yeah, but I wish look at this again under picking this. My second they pick up, but I just what she was an awesome shape. I really I think at this
point in his gray. I get it is young he's feeling I do know. What he's doing you know is probably
guy having a great time, but I think if you talk to some of the great, whereas in the history of the week and you ass, I k what what would be one big regret about
the first six years your career, I think all them with very few exceptions, should be like man. I wish I had been in better shape like bits of the bird talks about the glove Bron. You even think about like hid the difference in,
body from away too oh nine, green, wrongly always an apple abroad. As always,
but when he had the money, wasn't he wasn't my? I wasn't even ants body and filled out, as happens in fact, criminal, legal, eighteen and nineteen right yeah me look
why'd. You went there and I put it to me. It's.
unrealized potential, I don't know if you had seen you don't want to go through life with any regrets, and I think I mean I mean, there's lots of argument: cheap, warlike. Ok, what needs to be thick because it needs to punish people's about people down, but there's a difference between bad there's. A difference between your face is read because
out of breath four minutes into the second half of the game and you unable to make rotation- I mean the load. You can make the argument that she has a. He has probably means that likes
step current centuries running around as much as your courageous, covering comes a territory.
The more the mental health is required to have the ball, the entire game on all sides, and then
hunted Andy,
given all realise like the way the number ways teens Hunt,
it's not just one on one match up to talking him as the proposed the defender, but it also who ever he's guarding is pressing the glass because they want him to back the box out there. Just still many things that kind of factor into it and yeah he's not. I mean
he's not in shape. That's just that labour. That is, are you now? You might not be an awful shape, but these things happening in top physical shape, but don't get their remedies. Young he's! Here's the here's, the thing it's about maximizing whatever potential. As is aware, I think that the athlete moving
sat a basketball. Brady is the guy guide of anyone whose maximized is potentially the most like he's done, he's actually made himself.
Or agile he's learned how to be faster quicker. He changed his dry mechanics tiger. Woods did the same thing
I think I'll abroad in the NBA is somebody that his maximized, whatever his will represent your was by being not only physical freak, but somebody who really
put in the time year after year- and I would love to see luca- do that at some point may lament
Spending like I've read the articles. Wasn't the catapez trainer
like the machines in his house. He spent oh yeah you dollars on its body a year, yet it is arm got. It is the thing that I think that's interesting and- and this is like the last amendment I'll say about this stuff is- is part of it is to be that young and to be there
said the franchise and have the franchise basically given swimming train. The way forfeits starting line up building around this guy Bilbil
everywhere now you're the ringer geyser playing Allay Luther
like, as always like. This kid is descended from above, save the franchise. There is a little bit of that and there's a lot of people being anomalies were terrified, but just like walking around worried about who is holding him Annabelle for that
ray. It's not the teammates, because it's the team is basically dope around him and it just kind of why I don't know very early on the first her I was. I remember we were the catering that would come after practice and after games. They would have liked this giant cannon.
of sweet, tee and lemon and sweet lemonade, and I remembered, is looking and seem like it's going up,
like. Is water bottle with like sweet peas, Megan my oral Palmer's right as like I didn't sailing anyone browsers like that, doesn't seem like that idea
I mean that liquid and I don't know a lot about the experts godaddy.
You are downloading gabbler, just like it doesn't seem like I mean it
Seen but yeah, I may eventually got its word away on at ease and I'm sure he's got people looking after diet etc. But I really
It seems likely comes in future supply himself in the shape yet, and I'm gonna play myself in the shape is never a great idea, but when you're putting up thirty ten and ten in like your second year, it's hard so like say, hey here's
Where did you could improve your ears? Other thing? What exactly? What issue do you have with them? Like? That's nice, not used cynically, but like people better, like ok, all the stuff excite his troop, not maybe not in the top, is condition
Maybe what are we seeing? That is late like what? How is impacting that's pretty. I mean the flap series. What could he and I mean he got hit my neck
bigger, got elbowed in the Knacker, though, whenever he saw the above higher shoulder yeah, maybe perform that ridiculous level
Yet there is really the year before same deal. So it's it's easy to say or not and great shape, but it's hard to tell him. What are you not doing good? I think, maybe
That's where, like an attention to detail on some deep answered stocks is, maybe you could find something
That's applause offensively! It's pretty hard! The surrounding area, this evil to allay settles, rebound
translate the games on the at an hour, not necessarily all the way there are that I just got a good. I think it would be
it'll be amazing to see once this guy gets into top shape what what the ceiling is for
because guys.
Goodbye women not to Sancho Cliched, but it's true yeah, you think like there's. He can get in fifteen percent better shape at some point is clear and is three point: shootings gonna get better and you think I'd just those two things only and he's gonna be a monster. I we're gonna take up,

I ve come around on the in money.
I came round. I can run on the roads in a while back go out. I want to say that
I was not a girls and down paid for the rafters once he went to the spurs
kind of learn a little bit. I was I learn thing for him. Is he he works on his craft and his game so much that that is neither an inspiring like his little hop step, long to sidestep too that he does. He said
Malta has multiple pop humpbacks. The good guys in the air he's always been a very good foul jar and an ivory throne chums die, and you know he play for the spurs they basically
and to have five out scheme with them, one when ordered without means available colonel was at them in the dunker spot, but he was hyper.
new surrounded with three shooters or more now, that's not necessarily the case in Chicago. They don't have a lot of shooting
Their data. Don't take a lot of Greece. There
things a little bit differently than the average team is but they're having success.
They are absolutely dust.
brockden sources and in the backward defensively with those guys. I love it. So much want to watch
Where do I really like Patrick lamps? He gets hurt in a kind of unleashes this, this five main unit, that they have that
the virtues and even really shooting, while yet
for he hasn't made last week or salaried and play the two games, I'm into an alliance.
there there they're doing it with I mean it's really. It's really just Caruso lawns. O ball are the heads of the snake, both of them.
Causing all kinds of you can get away with having no, they have no real protection right now.
and you can get away. It seems as though
can get away with having no room protection. If you can't get asked the perimeter line at the which is kind of what's happening, buster turning people over the backward
the result is. I mean I've been on it
so bad humor. I try to get home. I tried to get on
the year he was a free agent three years ago, could not convince people that
he was up even NBA basketball fire one. But I do not like him. I think him if he didn't look like the like Jim Perry from the table guy, when when he plays a pickup basketball game, I think you would be right to allow more seriously when I where's the headband shorts pulled out. Appetites below
but he is without a doubt one of the best perimeter.
There's an on board the funders in ITALY. I think any such a great scheme. It always grateful for him is twitter. They could the guys, like the Steve Jones, guys who cut the clips out of positions. Then you just see Caruso
Not only shutting down people one on one, unlike when the everyone's did, the stand around
one guy trying to do something place. He doesn't just shut him down. He liked the marshes them and death if they like lose their saw efforts at second,
The other thing is really good. Outages, darting, his diet. Someone comes around he sleeps at the guy off the ball creates low, but a habit. Their recovers back on the dog is defending. So me, there's some guys. You think the defence and you get a lot with you'll, see that allow for some guy simply decide when it just lock. My guy often he's never going anywhere. I never take my off my guy
I mean, while his guys, like not doing anything and then someone coming right to your line, you're not causing any impact there, and so crucial desert
a good job of preventing his guy helping you
influencing guys in the back direction. Quarter backing the defence identifying
that are being run by the other team. All that stuff is super under,
It is very good at it and so is launched ball to bundle, Baldos kind of being stuck on a little bit his lad. Who says that was a guideline for the south
Adam realise the bulls had already made a deal with him like a year before the earth.
Now that I've ever live there was he was he was. He was quietly being shop around before pre agency. I heard from a couple teams that I was talking to anything
Just like casually talking like everything about this guy reading about that guy. In some of the deals that that were supposedly
table for him that New Orleans was was was trying to do because there are panicking
and they want to make sure they can saves. I on the other,
his iron Williamson?
I was like you, I just see
Whoever was well positioned to capitalize on that panic was gonna get.
come away with like a really good deal.
Let him walk. I thought I was gonna, be market smart and ass. Fine with it cause. I love Lazo and at the keys younger and end at actually think he would have been better with the Jason's than smart as but he got Yak AGA. It's interesting, like I mean there's some thought like Alonzo wasn't re completely. Reworked is three point shot. Last year's everyone shot better from three last year because there is no fancy near it
but he's shop after this year as well is shot, looks different, less interesting. You think it was the no fancy, that's it
I don't think I know I mean it's it's it's funny because, while I was talking to
randomize earlier today.
I mean you could say a lot about the ball, it's a little bit of the increased defences
Contact being allowed, but it's just yeah, it's
Think it's just pretty clear. When you look at the outlier that was last year, you compared the previous two years the last year that the actual frequent efficiency one up last year was the outliers
this year is in so much like the apportioning this year. Isn't much but outliers the great shooting last year was an, I think. What's differ,
Is I mean? There's no unease is easier. There's no distraction. It's it's arm!
yeah. We had a little bit of the bubble the previous year too. I mean I do think it. I do think it makes a difference here, lots over a better, my team. If ass running at him, it would have been done. I would it taken it down our text.
Sometimes the guy's a bit like this guy- would already have been my team pay, but you ve got that sweet sweet spot of my money, one getting tired market in is what am I, MRS, I think the more I watch market and I made a mess than now, and I am that our position he is and is not a good enough shooter yet yet justify all the other kind of baggage. She brings to a five minute, but I'd see I still like em on paper. I just see just can't see, make you can get there. I think the thing that yeah
I would. I think the thing that people miss and stop it's like this stuff is hard like evaluating young players, especially its hard. Like you get
yeah Marken inwards, we'll get that draft. He was
I've been there in the mixed. I mean look at the look at it. The play the teams,
who missed out on Donovan Mitchell and took Molly monk Inasmuch Junior Donna, Martin in one hand,
That is one of the restructuring of the same yeah
the japanese difficult, but by
sometimes a draft isn't hard, because member people were unsure about LUCA and it's not was renewed, has eighteen is destroying the second best professional basque balikh. We have what he gets done.
Yeah. I think the other thing is people somehow think that playing against easier begin in
Europe is easier and it is obviously the tower is about is good, but the game is structured in such a way with no illegal defence
It's a lot easier to sport in the NBA in the paint gets the remnant. It's terribly you there. You just have a guy walled up long out very difficult, so yeah, you
That's true now hold my going mobile guy third Buzz idiotic, as it was happening and seems dumber now, because when he used in things is like what we don't need a power for, we have Christian
We need a guard. Ok, I don't know always always gonna be awesome. I'm not I'm not too busy are not actually I'm not too eager.
I mean he is amazing and he is good. I think it's a little early to.
to say that. Yes, I mean those offer me that this house not to early promoted
Is it a monopoly over cage? I think is a thing to end and I look a lot of people love kid. I submit Schmidt's, who I really respect, and I think there is a great shout for his pen was saying: he's got like a little LUCA type fulfil offensively kid. I to me he looks like I, I dont totally see it and I keep waiting and why
king and I've watched multiple pistons games, and he seems like a half step to so to me at this point to be like to be like a generational guard, which I think is where you have to be undertaken over mobile. Now I don't know it's. I think the Lucas
arms are ridiculous gal across no more look in her ear taught. You are talking about a guy who comes around once every twenty years. Twenty five years,
in years, whenever an so anyone who plays like a similar style is out there.
We can have this guy's a heel, geocentric style bar olympic, unroll, spread off inspire the others more to it than that.
I have one last thing on the bulls and ties in two by. I really want to save some time for us to talk about how much we enjoy watching the Lakers review. The bottles. So Milwaukee is gonna, be their work, as you said, dumb injuries, but actually think their team. Once everybody's there is better than last year's team tat wise, and I think
on us. What parts are better? I'm curious, I'm not disagreeing, demonstrate later grass it down peace, they have deepened chances in the plants last year.
it had the goddess just as a facilitators is the want of a better. I do think he
That's some stuff, blessed urea confidence with him that use different. So I expect them to go on a run as soon as they get everybody Brooklyn. I don't know what to make of, because Blake is so washed at this point and then mill sap they.
getting nothing from our judges shooting while for now will see, but it just seems like a to maintain
me with Patty mills. Some brown like there there's plenty of hers. It Joe heresy.
for the money they're paying him and for his plan performance is little scary. It's gonna it's gonna, ebb and flow and how
they get out a hard and who knows what they get it carry anyway. I'm not
not having had carries on him, not forgot, twelve unto even talk like a trade, but if I'm Chicago look
Am I correct? Blocky they're not plan will ya
they're gonna, be there Brooklyn kind of a mass compared to that particular juggernaut heading into the season
I'm not really afraid anybody else like I do wonder. Do they put Patrick limbs on the table because he's out for the year are they bow peace away from actually leg
compare the minds of idols yeah there?
There are few I mean there as much as I love them. They still are flawed rasper, I mean
what do you think they may have
They definitely need a big like they. I mean you're, no boots register guy, but I just bought like ten days a match up Lee and so what what would they do if they play the suddenly sectors?
Syrian aside from getting smoke, I mean they didn't, have no chance versus Althea. Bead, probably have no chance defending. I mean they're. Just there's two things: it's the big. It's also the ram perfection
I certainly always there so yeah. They probably need another.
I mean a thing about them as they don't need to be in a rush like they ve got a nice little swab done a great job. Those guys have only been there were running the team.
In there for two years now, is that their second year so
What are they need? Yeah? They probably need for hybrid for five someone. Maybe you can protect therein. Those guys are these
the kind of like everywhere, another kind of in short supply yeah. I thought well I'd outside the same way. I thought a small by five slash roots protection for the wrong match. Adapt seem like the guy. The army Ludovic, I think much of which is always been thought of, as were the fender, but he is actually a decent independence.
he's right spot more often than not. He rebounds Bob particularly well arm, but they probably one other person out about these teams. That goes super superman.
Interesting to me, because now the most of the league is just kind of hunting on all fronts of rebounding, exceptional trawler after a little
look doc. Rivers was ahead of its time.
Gender. I were fed the robots and
you can get away with getting small in that regard, scenes
Punishing you on the glass. They also have guards are very good at rebounding, both Caruso an
all are good at rebounding, but there's the rim protection aspect of replacing that spreads you out and can penetrate and gets the room. I feel like that could be a challenge but will see there are not in the business of what James do any more weeks to get better because,
I clearly had no interest doing it the first time around. So that's a little bit. It's a little bit tricky yeah has wandered miles. Turner was aghast
about for them, because I don't want anybody and it's gonna do a turn us about this year. Forbes
your five whatever it is that this point seems like substance. Gotta give, I think,
has real value and I think there's a few teams that he could really help the debate
our team, but I watch very closely to the union
their karla you got you got along with him. I like Carlotta. How do I like and those of other guys on satellite Jenny
Second, my finer and unwanted gosh. My department got a job or baisers. I watch their stuff
it's a pretty flog rasper there. Not a lot of terrible contracts
is everyone's kind along like a middling contract, not any toggle contracts really, but also not any real hope for
mean they're, they're kind of in all.
Hamster wheel of mediocrity, like always being like first round exit. Now you look at how strong the east, as you could make. The argument that they now need to make up this year will be a challenge needs to so much,
With the wizard,
the Hornets, the balls all having come ups, even the calves to some extent
where, whereas that where's, that spot gonna come from them to make the glasses challenging, will be interesting to see you I have. I wrote down fur panic. Trade teams is we're headed Thanksgiving, which is usually when
guys become really avail, but I think boss than would have been on this list, but I think they ve kind of played off the list cause how whether point defenceless CUP wakes bus, Tatum, I'm not chinks, innovative, think but obvious em on. Please would take
as to its failure? Back on your out you're off the subjects for a while, and I hereby like I'm not crazy about this became better. What are they doing happier like I'd like other plan d and they really?
down there on the same page on that and that can sucked in yet, but am unpleasantly surprised well. One thing I will say about this team is also looking at some numbers today they are
they are an outlier in terms of how many, what percentage of their possessions and deepen our cross, matched because their switching so much so there at sixty percent.
Most other teams are out around fifty in the league averages around forty, something
so when you go dramatic, extreme of switching style of defence, there's a learning Herbert, and so I think it it's it takes some time now. Does that mean that it's there
Silently events- I don't know- probably maybe we'll see, but it was unfair to judge them. Based on that, I think there some other stop, though, that it's hard to go from being an assistant close to her
to head coach and then did succeed right away. I think I can be challenged by another player seemed to be playing. Ok, it's kind of awful. I mean, I think the shooter picked up was probably one of the best.
you pick up so the summer. How he has just because of me
but when he could have gotten than what you been up getting revalued,
so I'm with you, I'm not only out on them? They bought some. Obviously, some towns admired and Brown has quite rightly so.
Yet. We have already said as much. I am I'm an obey, the Jensen, rosier panic trade teams I have,
and then we may find Indy again. I think the work
it has to be in there.
Sacramento is always in their separate, insist, a yearly thanksgiving entry and then I think, Houston, because it's a weird roster I it seems like they just want attack
our poor Silas goes in their heart and immediately sabotage is blows up the situation. That's your one year too
they'd literally don't have appoint guard. This is a league. Were everybody's, got three four point guards who could potentially play twenty five minutes ago, Houston as basically done
can make argument they sold on how long this year I mean you got a rookie point. Aren't they ve got Dj Augustine
Zira and meanwhile, the danger, while forty four million dollars, that the play which Chris banning swear to good piece about this ray. It's like at what point is a stupid. You slept in a page on walnuts play for two years, cause your tanking where's, the
You got this and they shall not only thirty one is that washed up
I don't know, I don't understand it, I'm not there. So I don't know, I don't understand what the impulses like here's, the thing that people don't realize was like. You don't have to thank all the way
I, like the way the rules are around here.
gonna, be a top for pick. His armies
but the bottom lottery odds are pretty good sport.
when the bottom forums
they're gonna, be there there get there. I've learned certainly going to be the last fifteen in Rome yeah, but yeah it it. It has to be
ass, to be thankful to arm to be a part of that. I think is that going to be a part of the staff and that that's gonna be
decidedly and I work with what's even in Dallas, and I thought to be like not just not just like a good guy but like an outstanding. Even me,
yeah people alone works, hard great family guy.
Really really sharp basketball mind as well. So we are definitely some empathy there.
when they're gone through, but who knows maybe it'll turn around. Maybe we'll get a
turning around something this year.
I mean they have the turnaround in the draft.
Funny, he doesn't mean I'm running around this year. I mean in going up three three years down. The road is a long process and he goes into the worst situation possible appear in a new coach and on the foot side you see, Ansel Gospel
washed and they have all these veteran guys. You gotta know what they're doing in that's a really good situation for him and they give you just put those guys. I don't know it happens. I do like, I think I'd said sensible, good stuff, but if you just put him in Houston, nobody is
being used in the last two years once hard, and as they all that
yeah here, you're done. That's it that's true! That's true. I will say that what was until dear husband
the defence of coming here, to tell that, when the weather evaluating had coaches like there's a guy running the defence, more often than not the end, and that guy is the guy was responsible for the defence and so on
I think, then we had a very good defence with them. We haven't even support here in the house was running. Our defense was responsible for the defense he's no longer with Dallas. The UN's looks a lot different, and so it's a little bit tricky two parts
credit or blame on coaching starts when you're not aware of how much influence the specific coaches unsought. As I got the keys in his bid, mid forties end up and he's been, I think a revelation is a cautious yoke. Is that when I watch and I watched the same way, you do we we text each other. Sometimes, teams like sloppy or whatever washed and does not look slap me. That looks like a team that knows what it wants to do game again.
and I'd feel at ease maximized, whatever their potentials yeah. I think one of the things when I was younger than I that I was like over reacting to like one mistake from a couch like I'm an artist I but but you haven't seen it.
Thing they their energy and obtain new outlook and the game execution? What they're doing other managing time out? Are they going for freeze?
the downfall or are they taken about, gave at the right time that sort of stuff.
and so yeah he's been good, then very solid from one
seen it out of their plates and close games, they may
right moves there there identifying the right players to attack on
on the other side of the port, yet are playing the runner
lying there right now. That's no! Are you playing your right fires with them,
Campbell. They seem to be making me running hot, but they seemed to people
quite well too. I mean I've only got like, of course, to point deferential, which is in great good idea to solving some of three point, one thousand,
differential so arm round there get their solitude. I wonder with Houston, you know they do have some assets to make some moves, but with y ever since I was a tradable there's, a fifth Diana trade team- that
I have to mention going about the Houston per second up. We're gonna be super. Secondly, they had an asset that they had to move, so they could get top value for harden.
Can you make the argument that that's what really not much that Latin?
Eliza run any I'm did they get anything worthwhile and that the work that is that just tropics the tropics
particular Gunnar, would have been better off like neck ass. Before I want a single there, Shouldn issued on the Simmons deal Banal now, don't hate summons. So it's interesting like it's it's funny
people are so pickled before all rejected again, oh Mamsie mats, it could have been in that trade to Maxie he's been fantastic this season, so
I admit I assume you would have been in there.
I don't know we are, and I do think that they got very, very low value for heartened to hear us. There are also in a very, very difficult situation. So it's after that's enough
really the part I like his like. Why just why? Wouldn't you want chair down and that trade, the quiet
Why would you rather have like low first round packs over what we would have to pay Jeremiah will Great Elect shared out his? He could be play off serious. You know they. I dont like trading superstar.
and then you look back and you go I. What did I get for my superstar and the answer is I have not one asset. I can point to
that's it's like I work going, I care somewhere. We turn them in our depot for three months and then basically, nothing inside. That's, not a good trade. Sorry, it's definitely.
you. Definitely I don't. Wanna have traded superstar be when
Do you want to be in the driver's seat? You wanna be in control of the reasons why I wouldn't want instruments back fifth penetrating
which I think I was supposed to be mentions Minnesota, because that you think that would change me the playing game. So here's my question for you and then we'll take a break imma. Let you think about this.
Minnesota, BR, John Walton, they could throw. It could be Beasley, Beverly and Prince just those three contracts to them expire this year, and you take you get John while back you get him this year and next year and you take a fire and it's like we're, making a three slash, four, what we're getting by far the best person in the shade and is an expiring contract a year from now. That would be great.
Why could adapt the John? What came out an amateur? Let you think about their rethink, a quick break, hey Woodstock, some tech. Let's talk specifically the kind that makes your home familiar safer homes cured if you been waiting and send you home into a personal fortress, there's no better time the right now, because right now, our friends, it simply say forgive bs back ass listeners, early access to all their black Friday Dios fifty percent off their word.

If you go simply say here their biggest this cancer the year, I'm analyse them for you, the one I'm doing right now you can get a complete homes, kurdish system, starting it just over a hundred hours, no long term contracts, no commitments. It's really easy way to start feeling a bit more peace, mind why not this offer and soon take fifty percent off fifty percent off at simply save that calm, slash bs, that is simply say to us, simply save Deca, Slash bs! This episode, specimens podcast, has brought you by state farm with some of the surprises and weak this,
get a shattered the good neighbours estate farm for offering surprisingly great rates, so whether the type of football fan that spend your Sunday morning, managing you're famous Lana from your couch like me or you're, the one managing all the tailgate logistics used to be. Let me stay farm. Has you covered with surprisingly great rates and car insurance had a say in the scenario and therefore in the first man do not talk to me until my lineup is set like a good neighbour state farm? Is there get a quote today? Are it so before we go
through the Lakers, because we have a lot to talk about the Lakers. Why? Why not Minnesota for Georgia? I think that's the general idea. Why not? It was
Beazley when using busily such two years, a basely expiring, Pat Beverly, expiring, prince and I can get John while
and just take a look around others. How does that help? You said by refusing gets out of
like twenty eight million dollars next year, John was contract. Ah, what I'm have this debate
What is it? What is it who is expiring? Beverly up, you said Beverly and prince.
so you think I'm not only a million bucks. The add on
that wall. Necessarily
was the needle in Minnesota. I mean I'm, I would think,
gonna make it Billy. I mean you didn't like.
the early well last two years he's outraged. Almost
three and four turnover is examined me. I am a dislike for turnovers again as an first career.
not a year's engineering untreatable, nothing is untraceable.
I mean there's no such thing as many as eight I'm giving you a team. This is it, but we have no other tabs unless were unless it's Lakers Westport for while yet again, I may never
underestimate the Lakers ability to make a trade that people think no one else would make. I mean there. Definitely the team that does that they make up, and so I would not ours, Minnesota I'd, probably hold out
maybe something a little bit better account and try to like. I wouldn't panic in Internet John longer camp. You know, makers would start by Lakers cause
put the laser roster of I mean a couple guys that I think, if they waved would probably wouldn't get picked,
by anyone us the way like riding the aunt Jane Jordan, gets picked up by a single team if they waved them tomorrow. They have
sailor cap flexibility with Westbrook, whose forty four
in here and they don't really have any other contracts. They could create other than Horton Tucker who, as it exactly been lighted up, they have no out is my point and I think I was thinking this would end up like the two thousand eating calves or a lot of guys and this team three months from now just or could be in the team. But then you think,
alright. What's then, who's going to be in the team they have no way to even I don't have the ability to flip so and so for Jordan, Clarkson and Larry Nance. They don't have the flexibility to trade like that. I think it's unfair to judge list
None there star acquisition in the absence of sub recast I'll, just getting good. Can you bunch? Ah I heard MRS this is
an example of this is
I give you an IRA how to describe this without it's just I can imagine who thought this was a good.
Seeing the programming- and you can imagine that, like all other, were building
Well, it's a lot in the previous year that it happened up shooting up so this year they went signed a bunch of guys who not a bunch of you guys who can shoot, but that really do anything else. Yet. Melick monk is pretty good shooter, decent, often supplier, not that great
suddenly citizen could say the same about none other is not the greatest shooter Ellington did shooter carefully defined. They do anything else. They got all these guys were like one talent and then they are expecting yet another one is Carmelo, not you're, not that great defensibly, but pretty good shooter, and they did all this stuff, but they real member. Then they didn't understand that they don't have to be
You can do that if you have a defence of poor around cheap, like they do not have their best defence of fire. Aside from Anthony Davis issue,.
Maybe every bad Bradley. Also later how're you just one-
the title less than two years ago, with all these defensive wings advance.
And the brown and davis- and that was enough and for some reason it was like
they all got amnesia fur. Yet to two. I never understood the west portrayed. We killed that on this pod multiple times. I don't mind the idea,
Bing Carroll, and I think it was kuchma for
buddy healed because at least those I got right. That makes a little more sense that we should still keep Casey P and you get a little defence, but going all Westbrook, I thought was she's. Just completely done said, the girl and its work that even worse than I thought, then you watch yesterday's Westbrook headed for another
triple double its a coup cares disguise the steep here's. What I think- and this is maybe
our thinking- maybe not- maybe I'm giving them credit- then a weird way, but I think they thought that
La need, some like Westbrook, is not get off. The boy he's got out the boy. You're not gonna, stay stop the bombing; they thought he could hang off a ballplayer welcoming you should really quickly getting caught me could ask that
major he's a big like regular season for razor he could be, can make. The argument is the end of the day. Your goal is to ensure in Japan, and you have to new can't be like all, because the broad may not be durable for the whole year
We need to find guys like identity in the bronze, that group of all your this chamber's isn't working title period and the story. So why not build?
the idea like well, let's hope he is and let's put together a Russia that fits around him versus, like I dont think many people would say that La Braun and respiratory, like that,
I'll ideal buried. But I wonder they go. Ideal varies from the brandished topic anyone's ever really been like, via, although Russell s name, who, like the stock having direct,
because he wouldn't really bad because he was passing through proper, was taken over gains like it's interesting, like I'll Westbrook worked very hard. He plays very hard wants to win. He's got that fire that's, definitely and underrated. Positive polity. It's hard should not
savings destructive. Your teams advance for many, the turnover machine at this point, the speed
Is it therefore him?
I would say that really amazing. Last thirty minutes of the game, he might have the worst judgment of any good per week. I do not go that far. Look, I don't I'll I'll! Think he's. I think, he's a fine and eight where he just might not be directed for this team
our goal about that we were trying to eliminate. I gotta it's it's that's fine! I heard you translate.
Nay. I heard you it's fine. I still think out of any good per week. Here's the worst judgment on both ends in the last
Men uncanny unlike sulphur, untried, again poker games, your Bela captain had he been often also less, but why do we?
I keep watching the steam so much. What is it about? What is if everything is ever
then it's it's the it's just. The lack of you know when you top to bottom needs like I lost a lot of it
to me it doesn't when I'm an ally and on watch. These games are forced to watch the Lakers broadcast,
like an it. It's like NATO column, Lebron James com chain,
there's a guy like I love abroad, but do not chosen ones had to retract his back. It's hard not like when you're, not the joke,
one it's hard not to look at the chosen and be a little bit jealous, and so I'm just gonna like I know you, you don't want anyone to fail, but it's like. If there is anyone here, I don't want to feel the guys that children went back to the process back. You know that's just weeks
is just kind of fun. I don't know what else to say. An animal leubronn lover like I went to gain added. One replied warriors cheered, further up the Cavaliers reform, but an hour when you go from
he blamed the blue collar. Now your and our way, you know you got it just. How can you not? How can you not route?
Against the Lakers, I don't know how I mean it's a great going about the announcers cause.
they get I've been living with newer here with us, an elbow at Stuart than follows through this fast and they're, just
like. Why is steward acting like this? What's wrong with this go ahead, they show the reunited acting like in a very narrow guy who they are
I don't know I mean I think it s a big part of it, because I never really had a problem and soul and full play by play. Guides are gonna carrying with great plan again, like me, he's just like the collecting. This is the means of its funding under a hopeless surf and I'll, never understand ropey. But to me it is inside funny that the chair, for this day,
but it's fun gonna games. I will say again that the first game, like Lakers Game plan I earlier, enjoy the cliff Lakers aims and I feel like I need to take like some
and tying body medication. When I go to a copper game because the lights, the music back and can that shoots out the broken tee shirts yeah, it's just a cacophony.
Madness when you gotta these, but here they shouted disoriented.
It really is disorienting, my guy, I had been travelling for forty five days. I came home the ally for a little bit. I believe my husband
In the first place, I went to his clipper game analysis like what is going on here. I can't take that's too much. Laugh, it's a semi heartache.
it's going to be a mediately refuted by people who just look at the numbers and their exact. What are you saying is numbers of the same? I think Davis put on too much muscle. I don't like the way he moves compared to
he moved three years ago and you can go on Youtube and you can look at that. Iconic new
he had this seventeen slash eighteen season when he was just a basically became TIM Duncan and you're like oh, my god, what this is like TIM. This is like evolutionary TIM Duncan, what's happening here now he's built like a center and when I watch a move- and I know he's getting he's getting his two thousand four hundred and eleven. I know he's still in the right spots on defense. I just like him as be more athletic center version of himself and it's insane because you think about guys
Duncan Garnett people that those guys that, like really really tried to avoid adding muscle to their frames as they got older, they thought like, as I'm gettin, Laura
politically I need. I need the the freedom, the flexibility, the fluidity he's going. The other way it seems like he's, trying to turn himself into a centre, and I dont love it now. You're gonna,
you're gonna zag. On this I can I rarely I'm not I'm not for biomechanical export that you are so. I cannot ignore the ideal body types right now, I'm with you I mean it. You would think lot from a long term perspective, and one of these than is possible. I will say, he's an absolute fucking monster
The events and I dont know daddy. I dont know that he was when any kind of wise, but it was a different type of monasteries, act. Ass, perfect, the paint a lot more minutes,
he played them. We basically were like whoever eighty is guarding get him the fuck out of the paint like I watched the balls at the time
the same thing when you need, if you have eighty outside the paint on defence,
you can have them guarding a perimeter guy you're getting lapse. If he's not going up,
the guy he's in the faint you're not getting lapse like the ring on versus off, depending on where he's gardens begged. So I don't know I mean these guys have
The one thing that has ruled by like myself new
Ray, I'm? U other we're, not current bullets, the refined family. My Samuel,
don't realize is: is it just? How much thought and
finding those into keeping these guys
the and keeping them
maybe, but I want our guy. I would argue this is more dangerous for him, because I think the more weight you carry when you're, a big guy, that's where it can go sideways, sometimes will see, maybe umbra out and say I don't think he felt himself like a centre. Maybe you just filled out
do I don't know that I mean people get bigger when there were story about how is a guy added fifteen pounds? Masa? That's up, I think they're gonna run out. Everyone in the house even comes back saying. They added between council muzzle the exception, but maybe look at lunch,
The guy is, never came back and setting up a debate and shape
no again accepted a watchful, because I do think when he would he moves that sometimes have notified to stop start stuff. He looked out like a centre to me, whereas, like before, I really
like he was in Macao, Evan Moebius right now for the calves or just like a man, this guy, or
even how Yadda says maintained even daisies added weight. You still moves like goddess yeah,
Nimrod like shocked when you have to get moving it after, like swing his arms, the kind of guy right moment, that's right, yeah, that's like my. I asked one of the guys that too much weight is if he has a light.
Rick forward momentum with his arms departments are moving forward,
that would be able by do set with other buyers pressure. I do think he wanted to be more physically. Opposing this year was safer works. I personally am
A fan of the two thousand and nine is a version, what's evaluate
when they got all they're keeping says back. Like hundreds,
you're really make a referendum they play. But how did you play doctors than the other?
I was looking back I making back from behind and
who live animals from untreated,
forget it might have been. The soul is like. I can't wait to read the takes a lot of
well. In his objection caused this right for the feel like isolated it, but they didn't actually say that, but it was you know it was like people were celebrating on on on twitter and interest like what a guy but a gun,
when, from this like try? Hardly goody where I get this terrible, didn't rates imperialist Cinderella story come back from the Lakers, with the king being out trade jump teams in teams that could jump a level if they made a trade. We mention the boss, I think Dallas. I just don't know at the traders. Memphis ass, thou, hast, thousands, if not far off and they brought their.
They ve got knocked the west has been mentioned before is pretty wide open, so members is Memphis is one for me, as I do agree with our
they trade item surrounding this again without where am I
Do you think it's got? One
it may be all right.
Three for one night that they can do like they have alot assets. The fact that Bain as a matter of state have the ability to go
the level on a trade. I'll say this about members. They have done a great job, drafting and building that team
numbness puny. Last year's some I'm pretty impressive.
they ve done. I wasn't a fan of student items signing
me neither for trade whatever, but you know these things are not always
easy there easier in retrospect, Boston away.
That would be my there too. Could, though it could
Those games like sneak up a level with the red trade. I don't know
Any team in theory could sneak up a level. Is I'm gonna make take them too? I think, like the hierarchy of belief,
Milwaukee Miami.
and when they see why have you might you'd put Miami top level cause. I have them like right on the fringe
Whilst I'm looking at you could get a little bit better like in the east. I think they're street teams that are better dispatcher, the morass and that's Miami Brooklyn and no option
in the brief teams yet hold I'll, be another team that a trade agreement, that's a trade that could happen. I could maybe catapult team me they ve got. They seemed to be putting all right in the last new ta. What's gonna stay faint?
so then you tat, I would finally like to prove themselves. The best seems in the West are our own state Phoenix and then the rest of the last goaded stared has the easiest ability to do something. I just am not convinced that they will, but they have, they can make any type of trade by us as they want is gonna ad
back and see how they look after they do. That seemed like a reasonable thing, the new gap right and why not see what they have already got. They ve already.
There we are the best defence in the league which is now
My second point, binding, easier schedule, parts they're good.
But there are three items like their plus. Thirdly, on right now, it is outrageous that one day lost one game and over time another gambling fear for points or something
they are? They are good for short arm funding. Watch. Do, do you think curry? Is he the most underrated superstar this generation, or would you have somebody us
I don't know I never really underrated him. Ah, I think people maybe- and I think people don't appreciate how greatly
you have mentioned made the same thing as undermining ah, but he is TAT he is.
completely bands depends more than anyone on the ball off ball. I kind of like got upset it with her,
are not running like basic baccarat when, when the king was trash and Anne and even creating one, you want to look at more fit them all, but I think it's hard at its heart. You it's hard to be upset with the rest.
Now it is the way that team places I made it very easy defender, Emilio Centric, unroll, base orphans, it's very difficult, the ten stuff off the wall like their point out,
Essentially, blame on rainy like leads leads, are needs. I top five and assists most of the time I believe, even and so yeah. There are unique me difficulties the guard
because of courage and because of the system may quiet and
it. Is they ve gotten a little?
sharper analytically. In my opinion, they made some great
well uh buildings. I, like love border just fringe guys,
we're gonna feller roster, the Lakers will assign like a baby.
So our horror when our guys, you can actually unites all those guys have like some help, concerns by arm but a bit
a good job and they are gonna, be very tough to date, but there also like all of these teams, are any team that get like anything.
It gets an interview, their employer there there a team that hurries been around for a while,
I'm pretty heavy load and stirring water mileage could also happens, and clay comes back
definitely wide open. The shocker. For me, commissioner, who I was prepared to just put in the bus category based on
are they entail about always one of those guys? The town to guy who does know is work hard. Natural position is, then you watch him their grooming, immense alike. This quite Paul George level too.
A guy had our but I've really nowadays.
in the limited sample size easy. I explained, I think anyone. I recognise these guys who play limited minutes. It's very easy from the common and be super hyper focused on a four five six minutes, then verses thirty, five minutes,
like imagine it vanderwiller the liquid six minutes, a game? You probably got my mother's Wigan by more scrape and promote their requirements. Gaban looks like
The time is not waited and waited Zeb huge Renaissance this year for Wigan says it.
The Canadian. You should be rooting for this. How dare you slander, Wiggans,
I'm not slandering wagons. I just don't. I just think like adding unfair thing about wouldn't even number one overall package, Zodiac
Patients are too I when really neither to lobby
Maybe there remained alleys guy, you can get seventeen a game and guard a bunch of guys on the other end didn't he
He got too much money. You know yet he defends breed depends pretty well, I will say arm
he's, doesn't do what our friends the flemings, struck shots election is an ideal on our friends
so it sounds like you. You haven't totally warmed up to this Gulf States, him yet you're still a little suspicious
No, I mean I'm, I'm I'm, I think you're the best seamen in the west, probably the best, even the league, by its early and
Why are you being gardens? Gap cautiously cautiously were taken one more break, and then I have a couple

Yes, I come back. I know you hated the though, where lobbies, I love, you start being now. You hated workers right, but this is a rule. Thing can resell around this a lot of people. I most people on this week the initiating contact.
In the cheap vows, basically, in the legal run that added a game. I love that. I love those rules.
You love, arose
protein arose because I am my whole life has been about exploiting angles and everything
efficiency and like we had? We call them the brownie place like we need to get our players. The bigger droning site
you need to highlight the heart. Why not pompey lean into the died? I didn't love it as a casual fan, but I'd like a scientist I trying to like
he got every adds like. I wanted our guys practice frequent shooting
reading, as are all that stuff, because it's free,
what this leads me to my question. What now that we can exploit that rule? What is the next rulings? Exploitation? Would he say,
major thing. Is there anything I now because they do such a good job of always innovating enchanter shut the door to stuff? Well. So now we have, I don't know, that's a good question on how big there is. One of those are definitely the ones for sure I will add yeah. I think why me, I think now buried their exploitation is being a steady course pathway. Cruisers having all follow here is being its physical. Us asked one firmer, because it's not
when so much is like a culture, a culture on fowls, it's a culture, war on shooting vow so again, you're going in the wrong you're, still growing bows if new, but if you're on the periphery
you're, not getting those house, and so I think like-
ramping up the physicality on the perimeter is like the cheek code. You know, maybe even like more teams,
what's in now, more kings are harsh, are hard, showing less teams are pointing drop covered with their bags. That's what I love about baseball is like all these. All these things change and you have to be able to adapt as a culture of fire because
change so quickly, either through the advent of analytics or the advent thumb for the advent of players getting better in improving their skills. Why? I guess the angle now inefficiency, knowledge is: how far can you
the physical. You have won the perimeter, that's good for market smart guys. I bet. There's certain doubts requires that the league has shifted in their fair, relevant guides, good for any yeah. Now, that's very varied and its also, it also is good or point guards
handled this quality because they stand out a little bit? I'm not sure. Do those guys are its jack, it's jammer it! That's why? I think he's leading the league in points within like six are shots in points inside six feeders up in their substance,
is tat words. I came in Addis feeling. Ok, but
please I watch the force of the treaty
dame guys have taken a big hit. Their free throws away down. I think data bad since the summer, and I would be really nerve.
to make a blast of trade for him he's. My would not he's he's looked much better recently and I think, like
as humans, like we like to build these narratives around small samples and tat, he did look right, but I don't, I don't think it's in becoming. You could probably car about five or six
aims of up his career previously taken fitting aims. We do still look good. They just all happened become one after the other Joe. Is there something
Is there something actually wrong, but I had a man like that top died. I were I just wouldn't. Have there anymore he's gonna play his way back in at this point,
gonna, be I'm sure that now I know that motivated and I'm sure I already being allowed in the world what about a pillar for me to get back it yeah. Now. I wonder who lay awake at night that paper bubbles Admiral
but why just ride around this guy
thirty, two years old and it's gonna take a kings. Ransom to get him of Portland decides that, maybe that's the move
and I'll be nervous about I'm nervous about the history of small shoe small scoring guards as they hit the big murders. I'd be nervous about it,
yeah, but there I mean I'm. I think, like it's interesting thinking about what these teams goals
like to me the gold always to maximize your chance to win the championship. Yeah and answer you, you go up guys were superstars he's, undoubtedly,
superstar, so I would I would I would you would not trade him. I mean I don't think we're an. I would trade, I'm just be courteous.
or understood like helpless. I went somewhere you're, not gonna, win their them and donating the built around
so we want to move, be traded. I would write em, but that's easier said than done when it's not your team,
Does my team? I would want random
You can build around him, but it's it's challenge
because you need the union meaning
You need to hide some other events.
efficiency there, but yeah he's he's he's. Probably him incur the two top aspires to gain power.
Some may be honest enough to obviously, but in terms of guys aren't physically imposing fired the most difficult because you have to have you can't sleep?
and off the boy. You can't sleep precisely comes across our work. That shop would be going up and ask that can be nerve racking when you're trying to defend Darrell, made the point
book way and privately as well about hey. If I trade Ban Simmons on that trading, I'm not making a trade for him. That's going to decrease by chances to win the title this year, because I have one of the best personally gonna beat. So don't throw these trades and me unless my percentages are going up, you're, a percentage guy, you you look at the big picture. Stuff sometimes outweigh the way he frame that you agree that the way that thinking.
He's gonna Tufts yeah. I mean it's hard disagree with them. He I just don't know what they're moves are like. If you dont have to pay the guy.
Why would you be wine trade em, like? I guess, that's them
like before Ramona shall burn rollback peace on the mental health aspects. They were
were they were not having an analogous to have an eminent, maybe not having sometimes like, not sure enough, with the actual status is right now
I don't know, I don't know what his market is. I don't know it,
seems like they're, not gonna, get a great deal for him. I will say this the way the league is structured right now. Something has to change. You cannot, I am all for giving fires empowerment. You cannot have players sign MAX contract with their rookie scale teams. It seems they were drafted and then get these large contracts and then a year after,
the man betrayed, you have just not that's just not good for the league itself. The league is already being run by this, like a ball of, like whatever agents players at Cetera. I don't want to go to a certain. Few teams sounds like you teams. This is not acceptable and an I'd think like I don't know what the solution is, but I think I have some solutions. I think I could work.
Why, certainly not you know being, let me look at hardened, wants out. Ok, we're gonna be alone. Simmons wants out. Ok, we got a deal of boys is top, but would you
Are you? Are you running schemes at that? As inspires wanna get trade how'd. You want a small market team from the Philadelphia, isn't a small market, but I think there's that that very often number I think they also need to hold some account of
ready for not doing a better job. An appalling
to a higher standard. I mean you can't have a fighter who refuses to shipowners, game, that's not great, and then you, but then you can as a team tat from it.
The bus for acting like you know how hard it is to new legislation.
The game and now you're on your new new here from your coach and your teammate drawings
The bus. After again, that can be done either admission hold some account of like doc. River should not have suddenly decided my opinion right after that. I think that
probably started I mean you could say a privately whatever, but an add on a very tough. I think only has to make some changes to the way they structure contracts and nothing will ever happen. But I have no idea.
Now I have another idea. Your idea, you go first, let's hear about my idea- is no MAX contracts, art salary gap.
You can sign choirs too much money. You want a hard couple hundred whenever it is today.
we want a hundred, sixty million.
And now you can now will players join up in one part of the super genes
I mean, look at eighty million someplace else like how much would a player like LUCA or the Rand or who member get
if they could now, you're really will see like what? What what the situation that principles it so easy to build one? How much are we fight aspire hours, your max fire? Yes, always
What is your mid level always sounded mid level like theirs it? So it's a basic to run
these teams and decide how much the pair player. I think this would be like when we were
smarter regimes it would be able to keep the smaller markets seems afloat somewhat
bad news is the union would ever built for because the contracts would be skew to the point where I'm here, your second pure third european,
maybe not would not be getting paid as much money and like the neurons in the world beginning like a hundred million per hundred, were you sixty seventy eighty percent up? Do you talk in Hollywood? Star system based they had second fiddle
around as bovine he's driving the via the movie will Smith should make by far the most money the movie. But I live here, the king, you should get paid
ransom and that's just the way should be. Was things get paid that much body lay wise muscle less but making more them abroad? James lesson,
where the team is it because of the way the contracts are structured, so bananas, here's my tweet cause. I've been thinking about this a lot, because I think this is part of the problem of dealing Simmons. I think it's partly from the Lakers habit.
Westbrook, which is like forty four million dollars. Had you trade that John, while whoever it is easy with Kevin love with the calves, Kevin love thy sky to have in your nine members.
Listen, I'm not paying and thirty two million a year and that, if your Cleveland, who make any back that has to make within twenty five so that it seems like such an easy solution,
B to really really change the trade rules and like why couldn't was the westward get traded for a guy who makes seven million wow. It's got a Finn under the cap like does it like,
If, if why I don't know who I was wet boot westwards about example, it's a cavern, love but say Philly decides yet we'd love to have Kevin love, which is just such that we
to give back twenty five million dollars worth the sailor, but we feel like we have a chance to win the title. Actually Phoenix is a better example. This phoenix goes, a robber server was a cheap. Oh, we could
Kevin love and would just give up a formula and our guy and we'll just take the huge salary bump of the twenty eight billion dollar difference for China
the title wheelchair
can't download I wanna putting a salary captain. You would just how late the richest teams be able to get the best fires so out any penalty. So you put in provisions where it's like you have a card. You can use that every four years you can just you could just job there
some sort of like baseball his son like a gate and sound like more of a game or no benefits as justified based fires, this luxury tax thing where you can go over to couple years, but if you do it for thirty years or others, just
massive penalty, re examine any. I had whether they are creating movie bets but does not familiar with them, will be solid carpet. Is there a MAC salary for fire? It sat a salary, it says much as
No, there is no MAC salary and it's more of a luxury tax thing. Then so there's some hybrid this, where came, should be able to have a chance to win the title to take more chances than they can. A team like Philly should be about a trade ban Simmons
if they want for a guy who makes six million dollars a year and that just a trade of the team that getting been Simmons
is the one you think the war that their adding some mass of salary. There's someone I think people people of comparing the Anna fowl
and I'm all be based on a basketball. I think the difference of basketball is, is the one player is worth so much more at a machine
And so you have to be cognisant of that like
not likely and days had parity anyways, it doesn't really matter, but, like I do know, the whole thing is kind of ridiculous, like all your
worst knew you'd happen when the lottery when the girl abroad is busy working great now, you're gonna be good. That's right, just sign it. I'm like
Cleveland Cleveland, gets boldly career ring in the broad it yeah.
The latter's? My thing is: is I think there should be no dropped? I think there should be a hard cap. I think there should be no. Ah, no maxillaries requires
Then you don't have the tanking have always other nonsense, withdraw any any
incoming rookie at the age of eighteen or what every, how anyone do? It is a free agent arms
idea that you're gonna race,
The bottom with drinking is just awful for the game, but it also makes a kind of exciting
fans are like rooting for there came the loose and then they got the lottery and all things out another holding is it's interesting, I think about. I think it's absurd that the best fastest fires in the Lee are getting paid roughly the same amount as other players, just because of the sheer force of the weather,
his design, and I don't know that it's any fairer for them. For the bottom cheered, immature players, I think it's more affair for, like the guys, like
as you mentioned, like I'm in love and Russell S Butler able to get MAX Thou, because a team really has no choice would renew. While we added Michael MAX about without rights on any one else, anyways. I remember
I had an idea way back when that I still think would be a decent like kind of band aid fix where the longer somebody stays with the team, the less his salary cap number is, and this is Zack's
dad for for initially but like Dame lowered he's he's been on the LE team, since I think that two thousand twelve draft rates for this to be year eleven so once you're with the same team pass eight years,
maybe your actual salary only counts. Eighty percent of those of the cap.
and if you download them twelve years, maybe it's fifty percent and now the guy's incentivize to stay, because it's actually competitive advantage for his team. The lotteries
phase in illegally Alexander there soon. I would love to make the rules as complex and asked what we know and love to see some of these
I'm trying to struggle at this happened to anyone else.
Canada is one of the people I work with drawn up. Do the math on us up out beyond the principle there?
like your rewarding, if Lucas days of the maps fifteen years from year, ten t
fifteen or you re to your fifteen. Maybe that should be like a little bit of a competitive advantage
It helps you wanna cap, maybe get extra, prepare the next question for you, so you
is appealing, let it be about, please let it be about krypton sums, getting
My last question
These are asked me that she too had it I'm sorry I gotta get out of bed. I apologize no kiddo everyone, so you got written about about your tenure at the maps and there were started and it was. I bet,
the situation to where people are writing about you and the rating either taking accounts from somebody who obviously has an axe to grind or their version of a story or whatever, and then people put the piece together and you're reading it and you're going, but wait a second, that's not what happened or that wasn't sure what was that expire
like for you Gazette had obviously never happened before it was infuriating for like a hot minute. Am I
men and I mean like an afternoon.
And then I just gonna realize it doesn't really matter
Yeah, I got messages for people, but I worked with
like hey, I'm no idea. What's going on, like I'm sorry, you're gone through this vile lucky boy, I actually cared about here's the thing there's this idea, but first I want to say it was an article
was written. Ah,.
Nobody on the record, which is fine. It wasn't just so much an axe to grind, but there's people were incentive
eyes to keep positions that were made
that we're getting can you can we're getting paid a lot of money in most cases, these people would
get a job anywhere else, and
Oh I'd, I underestimated what links people would do to hold onto in some
his knowing the dollars, which is probably naive but whatever I'm. What was it like? It was. It was a good test of my
I don't know my what actually matters and light like it didn't matter. At the end of the day I was in March. I walk, I laughed with you
I was, I can't run about work remote. This isn't promptly. I like this is just like all player, not upset, because I left with three minutes upper left in a game. I do that eighty percent of the time it was just so I just got to be so absurd when I learned is that there is a lot of people
so the top or get to a level and in the world, and some of them do it based on merit,
and some of them do it based on another type America, which is just like Klein, kicking scratching, do and how to get ahead. Politics
backroom dealing. Machiavellian sleazy starts. I've never been about that stuff. There are some people that do I underestimated them like this idea that are difficult to work with
I kind of like I'm a guy. I guess I could see that I dont you don't believe it to be. True, like I think that, if you are a certain type of person, you might find it difficult to work with, because I expect a lot of people expect integrity. I expect you to work hard. I expect you be good,
what you do and if you don't check some of those boxes.
here beside us. We're just gonna find me difficult. The weapons because I, like the whole people
Annabelle to what they say. They get. You say something and it doesnt bear out the numbers not bear it out of the database. Beret outer factional carried out. I will probably be the guiding the taxi: that's not gonna percent accurate, but whatever it was. I was a boy.
experience. I think if I do it all over again, I would want to be more,
control, guide the sense and I'm awake
In my own boss, I've always had people working for me. People
for me. I've always had very, very good relationships with them.
work well with others in the sense that I want to hire people
are smarter than me and can have
we grow and I just didn't really feel like there's. A lot of people were insensible
help me grow or help. We learned things are helped me. Well, you
our dinner with me there without threatened because of it
fine, a Cuban and they resent it, and it's funny reading this stuff that happen. He was completely different situation.
but remind me of how the european stuff I had, because european was controlled. Basically by these mediocre people who were in mid level management were super political.
And want to control everything, and you see the shows always change the talent, always changes and the same people are still do. Is there that's like? What's your what's? The one thing that's not changing here is all the people of behind the scenes who is ever always everyone else's fault with something doesn't work out and those people are incentivized
grab as much power as they can to leak stuff to whoever and at an hour reminds me a little the isp panting yeah
That, in of interesting, is like just the idea that article is
and then the guy who writes Europe goes on this, like maybe a tour for like
We re doing like thirty pod cat, like Bro relax
you're, not in reporting on Watergate you're you're talking about like
being that you didn't even really happening any knowledge. Are you got some somebody
team inside or another he reaches out for comment. That he's, like is the whole thing, was just ridiculous: their economies endemic, ah
the state of journalism right now. If you want to call it journalism, its mediates click back like they put look at.
It's his name in the matter of the area.
and as we are more complex, the man's life might lose look at that stage
gave Hurrah Bob cigarette going there. That's that's great.
Solving was yeah, I mean I I was. I was deafening
The surprise I knew in articles coming as equally surprised at how I mean. How, specifically I mean, there's a thing I find funny
These guys were like going crazy, aren't all my God, we sure drafted Syndic they. Why did we drafted a fate? Ok wall check back in a couple years. I'm not saying that the army figures, but under saying, like it's easy to say we should have done
thing after the seasons open a guy makes an all refugee. Ah, the other
it is like, whereas the realism on who you guys drop that last year, the year before likely, does happen,
the drop record and now you're Monday my morning quarterback in this one thing it was interesting, I mean look. I I think it very difficult to be a journalist. I have allowed
they wouldn't be something I would want to do for a living, but four guys who do it and do a good job of it. Have my how my somebody, the guys who just try
I mean, I don't think it's nothing. It's easy to stand out amongst a hundred. Fifty people are running for the fact that work until I get that doing something like this is good for someone's career, but it was. The whole thing was kind of ridiculous as far as I'm concerned, but whatever coming
people about forcing beloved stories about the failure of the boy. Clearly August in defence of the writer lecture. Clearly had
boy that were going down with stuff anyway. It would be irresponsible firmness.
read it like. He had a larger there's a lot of meat on the bone. I think your respect I dont really.
Know what your play would ban, because the peace to be sorely missing your perspective, but at the same time you shouldn't have talk to it. So I don't
At that point I ve. No doubt I didn't really there. To be honest, I don't really get like. The main thing was like ok. If this fire in fact does not like you, then.
These are numbered anyways. I don't really care enough. I never had a relationship with them good or bad, and I understand the bug I loved him
by our love them, as a person still do still think he's like a great dude all that stuff, but I just really,
I mean the whole thing is like I'm gonna do a job.
I'm doing my job and I didn't realize I was that my part of my job was to like you know
a shake myself with people who were not working in my departure,
True were kind of already
not me with suspicion or or there's a lot of things working working again
me an end, but a lot of things are done. Does I guess beatitude you'd ever come to power, so why don't you can reverse the more either you're? Not promoting silence of the five jobs. Are a thunder promote
I thought I'd sport centre, sorry, honey. They they just I get it man. I guess is my point our last question: why is it
your big crypto guy. You ve been in an early, I'm always suspicious of rich guys. Tell me, oh
cetacean, spend your money when they see my there. Their little incentivize was wise in this upon his game. Explain to me why we should trust crypto. He should trust it big. You should trust crypto, I mean I trust person, I'm a big one night,
and so you should trust it because it is governed by mouth. There's. Nothing to be suspicious about everything is a hundred per cent knowable
it's on a centralized ledger, so it's completely transparent and I think the thing to look out
You, like our governments, are around the world said when you asked Canada. There are some other countries are printing money and said
money at an inordinate rate, the average person is being as having as is purchasing power devalued because the dollar's there's no dollars and supply Enzo proposals. That and in a way
You can have something that is there's only twenty one million bitcoins ever will be produced hard wired and looked into the code. You can have self sovereignty over your
nonsense, you don't have that someone else controlling your finances. That, for me, is the biggest part of it. I don't need permission to send someone money. I can do what I want.
I can decide to save. I didn't lumping amount
and in general are are not that good. That is the idea of saving and
any because you're just kind of the game is rig. You are a young person, you are fucked, you are going
cool. You are getting hundreds, a thousand dollars in that and you're how disincentive to save and crypto cut out the good behind us
you knew something was gonna go up in value with you had invested it get you you could you can
It's kind of like the game. Is China rigged for it to go up? It's not a ponzi scheme, but its games very opt one of the more people who want it. The more the presence gonna go out because of the limited supply.
An early, you get in the better off you're, gonna be, and so to me it's just like its goal. Basically
Rumours are gold. This is digital. Gold is more transit traffic
transmissible than gold easily even start without all be happy without having happened about somewhere? You have to have permission from someone else. They tell you.
you're allowed behold the secret decided on a wallet or key your arbour wallet
That's my little raids on crypto. I think there is more to it than that, but it is just the ability to say without having permission from this,
to do what you want to do with your mind. You can do whatever you want with it. Have sovereignty of your finances, an opt out of this crooked system that is benefiting
very, very most rich people in the world and the poorest people. Don't have you going to say it sounds like you shall crypto pad for the ringer. I find me up here. You asked what would it could help I'd? Look.
restart very well without better affair. What would it look like that? It would look like
some of the nervous cruellest people.
you could ever imagine talking about matters, matters out
blow your my actual, it would look like a man.
like an embarrassed, but on a pod, augmented affair. Last last question gambling boom lots of gambling staff gambling, legal and a bunch of states, though we were able to do gambling stuff.
I'm pods, including this one in a way round. We couldn't over our gambling no, but you were
you were in there early you're in the dirty underground. Maybe we'll talk about that the next time, but now it's like you could overtly do some of the stuff, and you know my fair always goes to if gambling become so much easier to do that it would also become so much easier to have another Donaghy situation. Something like that. You were on the Donahue thing,
I think the earliest you you you had flight ass, I was I'd. I got screwed more than anyone else on the dark anything. I probably lost more money, betting against funding games that are realised the games or whenever, wherever link
for my canoes, it's not gonna. Get me started by the legal that there were some shenanigans buying on had model was picking it up. Do you think of the gambling staff opens the door for another day
his situation or, do you think they're not without reason and check, checkpoints and check marks? One is what is the point
saying sunlight in the best, is in fact nothing having this stuff out in public is much better than having it to operate in the shadows.
I'm not worried about that when I'm worried about is just like the leagues dependence on get aiming rubbing
to survive. I mean they're lucky propose around Crypto crypto that calm centre items, ain't, look
Fiji arena in Miami, though not all these teams are gonna. Have I mean crypto
Then the new wretch are crypto. People went about continued through the next dumb,
Those that were probably will be another dump coming, but we'll find out on the star ring of odd that we do that, though centric listen, you and I are gonna talk and I really want to figure out the trading they may be the next time you do a pious hope, tabby on at least
she times this season? I really want to figure out. Is there a better way to do the salary cap and trade rules? And if you get, I know you go on twitter and check your replies. If people have good ideas, send them send them to Bob Bob Bob loves a good idea
