WEBVTT

00:00.031 --> 00:15.508
[SPEAKER_01]: after a week off gold state who is back we're gonna lead with

00:15.691 --> 00:18.796
[SPEAKER_01]: the Valkyrie stuff, and the WMBA stuff.

00:18.876 --> 00:30.354
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there's just more going on right now than there's going on with the warriors, but we'll save that until the end where we talk about the warriors, because they do want to talk about Christophe's Prasingus.

00:31.055 --> 00:36.303
[SPEAKER_01]: They do want to get your thoughts on what we kind of expect to happen with Steve Kerr.

00:37.344 --> 00:39.167
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like this story,

00:40.497 --> 00:45.853
[SPEAKER_01]: there's not there hasn't been enough made out about whether or not Steve Kirk comes back to the lawyers.

00:46.074 --> 00:51.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is a giant story that it just feels like there's no real media coverage of yet.

00:52.433 --> 00:53.697
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll talk about that.

00:54.132 --> 00:58.419
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll talk about you stay, you saw some you stay.

00:58.439 --> 01:03.228
[SPEAKER_01]: If she played actual hoop that you watched, so we'll get some thoughts on that.

01:03.588 --> 01:09.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Some WMBA mock draft stuff as well as the CBA stuff.

01:09.579 --> 01:10.620
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's kick it off.

01:10.861 --> 01:14.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk some WMBA and some Belkaries.

01:14.888 --> 01:21.723
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, you got to watch, you stay play, what do you think I was kind of watching the back and forth in the discord?

01:21.743 --> 01:27.757
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't sound like she played very well and maybe even got yanked a little earlier than you thought.

01:28.017 --> 01:31.024
[SPEAKER_01]: So what have you seen from her game of late?

01:31.527 --> 01:36.054
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm more of like a often on watcher as she mentioned in the podcast we did with her.

01:36.114 --> 01:41.162
[SPEAKER_00]: She plays for Gerona a Spanish team and I probably put you in the station for that.

01:42.264 --> 01:49.835
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, they, they, someone in our district court, another reason to join our discord is cast as kind of been on it way more than I have.

01:49.875 --> 01:52.860
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been probably watched the majority of Gerona's games.

01:54.022 --> 01:57.467
[SPEAKER_00]: But I've been able to kind of catch some here and there and they started off like,

01:57.447 --> 02:13.026
[SPEAKER_00]: the year kind of as one of the best teams and it seems like they've kind of fallen back to earth maybe that's the departure of of Valkyrie Latisha Me here who went to unrivaled that she's not on that team now and and you know I feel like probably the records and she left

02:13.006 --> 02:26.348
[SPEAKER_00]: hasn't been as great, but I haven't watched enough to know you know what really their issues have been outside of maybe, you know, Kasta had mentioned that you stay scoring production is maybe gone down a little bit just because maybe teams are game planning against her better.

02:26.388 --> 02:35.143
[SPEAKER_00]: They know, you know, that she's a primary focus and had a guard against her, but you know, every time I watch her, I'm just like pretty impressed of like just how smart of a player she is.

02:35.183 --> 02:39.570
[SPEAKER_00]: And even though maybe the shots not falling as it wasn't last game, um, you know, the

02:39.550 --> 02:47.983
[SPEAKER_00]: the rebounds and the playmaking's there like it's not like she's a non-factor regardless if she's in the game, you know it's just a smart basketball player and it's always just going to make the right play.

02:48.003 --> 03:05.170
[SPEAKER_00]: I think sometimes you want to see like the like the selfishness honestly you want to see her like you know take over and just like have a get the f out of the way it's you know I'm on a run right now but I think she plays you know maybe it's

03:06.112 --> 03:21.133
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what it is, but you know, I think I think she ended the game with maybe like three points, you know, and she didn't score until like the fourth and like a like a heave like a longer three and I think she was wide open on that shot, but they played against Fender, Fenderbock and

03:21.113 --> 03:24.659
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's like the basically like damn near a WMBA all start team.

03:24.939 --> 03:26.882
[SPEAKER_00]: It has me some in, it has Gabby Williams.

03:26.942 --> 03:32.752
[SPEAKER_00]: It has Uzun, it has K-Mac, it has Julie Alamon, it has Iliana Rupair.

03:32.852 --> 03:37.319
[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's just a ton of WMBA talent on that team and they are always like historically at good team.

03:37.379 --> 03:42.227
[SPEAKER_00]: At least since I've been paying attention, that it's a Turkish team.

03:43.777 --> 04:10.088
[SPEAKER_00]: And well, so I think Monique Billings was on that team before she went to her rival, but yeah, no, I mean probably seen like again, like maybe like five games off and on for for Gerona and I just I think Tuesday is going to be fine like though when I watch, I'm just like, wow, she just like she's so good at just that three point shot just looks so good and I and I am just like I can't wait until she generates, she's able to get more wide open looks with the boundaries.

04:10.338 --> 04:15.466
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, there are the offense that she plays in right now compared to the Valkyries offense.

04:15.506 --> 04:21.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there anything you can take from her usage, how often she's getting the ball?

04:21.595 --> 04:26.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it sounds like she's very much a team player, so she's not always looking for her shot.

04:26.562 --> 04:27.604
[SPEAKER_01]: But...

04:27.584 --> 04:35.038
[SPEAKER_01]: As we saw last year with the way that they ran their offense, like the whole goal is to put up as many three pointers as humanly possible.

04:35.840 --> 04:39.727
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, so her playstyle kind of fits with that if she's going to be able to just get these three points shots.

04:39.787 --> 04:50.908
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder how much they're going to use her and like say the pick and roll or something because I feel like when I watch her in at your own as she's not as much involved on like the on ball action as it is like just kind of being a catch and shoot.

04:50.888 --> 05:00.611
[SPEAKER_00]: player, which I, you know, again, only watched like a select few games, so I haven't really seen everything, but I feel like that's a misuse of her talent, and she has to be more on ball.

05:00.631 --> 05:06.906
[SPEAKER_00]: She has to be more involved than pick and roll action to be able to generate like a mid-range look that she can hit.

05:06.987 --> 05:09.410
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, there's stuff that she needs to work on.

05:09.751 --> 05:10.932
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think she knows it too.

05:11.032 --> 05:13.035
[SPEAKER_00]: And she mentioned it on the podcast, but defense.

05:13.936 --> 05:16.480
[SPEAKER_00]: And getting stronger, right?

05:18.242 --> 05:22.628
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, other than that, I'm always pretty impressed when I watch her play.

05:22.648 --> 05:28.476
[SPEAKER_00]: Just considering how young she is, you know, I think she's 20 or she's, yeah, I think she's 20.

05:29.097 --> 05:36.707
[SPEAKER_00]: And just, you know, being that smart about playing the game is always impressive to watch.

05:37.042 --> 05:40.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I remember our conversations about her earlier in the season.

05:40.809 --> 05:45.658
[SPEAKER_01]: It seemed like earlier in the season, you were like, she's going to be a perfect fit.

05:45.979 --> 05:48.203
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, she's going to do everything that they need her to do.

05:48.604 --> 05:56.238
[SPEAKER_01]: But maybe over the time span and then this last game that you watched, I wonder if she is wearing down a little bit just from so many games.

05:56.258 --> 06:00.366
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, she needed to, that she said that she needed to work on.

06:00.346 --> 06:06.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I think Eurobasket is, you know, when she plays for Lithuania, she is like the far and away best player.

06:06.773 --> 06:13.601
[SPEAKER_00]: So like she's, you know, the focal point and she's involved in almost, you know, 75% of the actions.

06:14.122 --> 06:18.547
[SPEAKER_00]: But when she plays for, you know, her Spanish team, it's definitely much less than that.

06:18.567 --> 06:30.100
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would still say she's probably like one of the best players, but there are more experienced veteran players that are confident with the ball in their hands

06:30.080 --> 06:40.748
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know I think teams are probably game planning against her a little more like I would say the scout would be just be physical and and you know play up in her grill and and see if she makes the wrong call and the wrong pass.

06:41.309 --> 06:46.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I think most of the time she makes the right one but I could see how you can get it under a skin a little bit by just playing a little more physical.

06:47.680 --> 07:03.799
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's going to be interesting as we are at the end of February here, we'll talk about the CBA here in a second, but they put a deadline in and it's like this stuff if we have a season, it is going to be revving up really quickly.

07:03.779 --> 07:11.017
[SPEAKER_01]: like games within what like two months, like if the schedule stays what it's supposed to be.

07:11.057 --> 07:21.923
[SPEAKER_01]: So that means she's coming off of this season that she's having and she'll probably have a small break and then right back into it, kind of like how the college players are going to handle it.

07:21.903 --> 07:39.523
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, I mean, we say it, you know, probably once every couple weeks, that's why, you know, the athletics WMBA show is called no offseason because they're offering women's basketball year round, but not just they're covering it is that the players are also playing hoop year round the majority of the players except for I think just Caitlin and Angel are not Caitlin and Angel Caitlin and Asia.

07:39.503 --> 08:06.979
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think this year's Sabrina, but everyone else is basically just in a league year round, whether it's unrivaled, whether it's an international league with the Turkish span as your league is just the, you know, a you in Tennessee are a Nashville and yet there's nonstop hoops college to the W really quickly, you know, how how who are we waiting on we're waiting on Janelle Salon last year to come to the boundaries because she was in what team was she playing for was it the

08:07.820 --> 08:09.744
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it wasn't, it wasn't the French League fight for it.

08:09.764 --> 08:12.509
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was the Turkish League maybe the finals or something.

08:12.590 --> 08:18.642
[SPEAKER_00]: I was so I forget which league she was, but she was in like the finals, legit like finals MVP as the training campus starting.

08:18.662 --> 08:23.972
[SPEAKER_00]: So we had to wait for her to get there and as they were making cuts, they was just like, yeah, Jenelle's not getting cut.

08:24.012 --> 08:28.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Like she's in the finals right now and about to be a finals MVP for this league in this team.

08:29.369 --> 08:43.731
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's, we're gonna push any unrivaled conversation in the next week because the playoffs are gonna start soon and I thought I will mention the one-on-one stuff was actually pretty fun.

08:44.031 --> 08:47.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Chelsea Gray mopped up with everybody to win it.

08:47.656 --> 08:53.926
[SPEAKER_00]: And how great was it that that was simultaneously happening as like this, you know, the three-point and done contest.

08:53.946 --> 08:56.710
[SPEAKER_00]: Terrible, done contest, so yeah.

08:57.128 --> 09:10.054
[SPEAKER_00]: That was a good probably good publicity for them as it like look these women are playing ones and this the thing that the men are embarrassed to To go for yeah, yeah, and then Steph after the three point shoot out.

09:10.074 --> 09:12.559
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like We got to get the band back together.

09:12.839 --> 09:14.783
[SPEAKER_01]: We need to make this funny event

09:14.763 --> 09:33.632
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember it was a dunk contest maybe like two years ago or something and they were starting to do like a like market like a oh next year like oh jaws on the phone with Anthony Edwards after this one oh let's see if we can get whatever happened to that man that was not that long ago and they were trying to do the same I think stuff in damn and clay are actually going to do it though.

09:33.612 --> 09:39.179
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because they're made, they're not insecure, they don't have to worry about missing a dunk and being honest.

09:39.239 --> 09:46.628
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know that dunk contest things a little more layered, like, you know, there's just the negatives far outweigh the positives, like, you know, maybe you're not getting paid out for it.

09:46.648 --> 09:50.652
[SPEAKER_00]: You can have Jace Richardson moment where you just hit the back of your head and you're forever meme on the internet.

09:50.953 --> 09:51.634
[SPEAKER_00]: That poor day.

09:52.875 --> 09:56.059
[SPEAKER_00]: So I see that I know that it's layered and that the negatives can outweigh the positives.

09:56.099 --> 10:03.568
[SPEAKER_00]: But man, just from a fan perspective, we kind of just want you to be like, yeah, you

10:03.548 --> 10:04.849
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see.

10:04.929 --> 10:11.696
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if anyone else has ever been injured in a dumb contest, but it doesn't mean, you know, it is a very explosive event.

10:11.776 --> 10:19.403
[SPEAKER_01]: And so there is possibility, but it's really more about the emotional part of it than the physical part of it for these guys.

10:20.384 --> 10:20.744
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

10:20.764 --> 10:25.308
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's talk about the current situation with CBA.

10:26.189 --> 10:30.433
[SPEAKER_01]: So the league, the most recent news is that

10:30.802 --> 10:48.287
[SPEAKER_01]: the league basically said to all of the teams into the player's association that they need to have a handshake deal by March the 10th or the season could be impacted.

10:48.503 --> 10:52.712
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, there's not really too much detail about what that means.

10:52.752 --> 10:54.475
[SPEAKER_01]: Like does that mean they lose games?

10:54.576 --> 11:02.412
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that mean that things get, you know, close chunks closer together because all of these things still have to happen.

11:03.269 --> 11:11.063
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we have two expansion teams who don't even have the list of players that they can draft, not had the expansion draft yet.

11:11.404 --> 11:13.047
[SPEAKER_01]: We still have a free agency.

11:13.447 --> 11:19.438
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the thing before the free agency, which is the teams who, if we still have this,

11:19.418 --> 11:49.392
[SPEAKER_01]: this rule that allows them to quarter their players like that happens kind of before free agency and they serve the drafts so there's so many things that are left to happen and they said they finally put a date and and said we need to do this or things you're going to get impacted i don't know do you feel like that's going to create some urgency or doesn't really matter because what they're arguing about it's like whoever blinks first loses

11:51.110 --> 11:57.617
[SPEAKER_00]: because it was the WMBA that made this tanshake deadline, right?

11:57.657 --> 12:06.547
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just don't feel like I don't feel like the players are, they're like the, yeah, the WMBA is trying to create some sense of urgency, like, okay, you know.

12:06.567 --> 12:08.248
[SPEAKER_00]: And there is urgency, right?

12:08.269 --> 12:11.432
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we, how much stuff would have been completed by now?

12:11.472 --> 12:18.940
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you already mentioned a couple things, expansion draft, the core thing and, and, and for agency and, but,

12:19.747 --> 12:26.374
[SPEAKER_00]: I just I just feel like the WMBA, like as as as of a most recent proposal, I just felt like the two sides were still so far apart.

12:26.454 --> 12:33.222
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see the WMBA players association being like really phased by that by that deadline.

12:33.402 --> 12:34.102
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's more.

12:34.463 --> 12:48.538
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there are a couple positive things that have happened of late though, the first thing is that they finally hit the revenue sharing target because the deal that they signed before the pandemic.

12:49.143 --> 12:51.655
[SPEAKER_01]: They had to hit a certain revenue sheet.

12:51.695 --> 12:58.225
[SPEAKER_01]: They had to hit a certain target and then the disbursement of extra funds would happen.

12:59.200 --> 13:05.307
[SPEAKER_01]: because of COVID and everything after COVID, they did not hit those revenue sharing targets.

13:05.407 --> 13:08.130
[SPEAKER_01]: But this past year, they did.

13:08.190 --> 13:09.432
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a positive thing.

13:10.112 --> 13:14.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Why I want to know though, why it, was it reported on why it took that long to come out?

13:14.938 --> 13:18.061
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it genuinely just like, okay, we didn't have the calculations until now?

13:18.081 --> 13:20.264
[SPEAKER_00]: Or was it like, yeah, I mean, hide something like that.

13:20.304 --> 13:24.128
[SPEAKER_00]: Because that boads in the player's favor of being like, see, like,

13:24.108 --> 13:31.399
[SPEAKER_01]: or it boads into the owner's favor saying, okay, maybe these revenue sharing targets aren't hard to get.

13:31.559 --> 13:35.685
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you work with us, we can set them so that both sides are happy.

13:35.725 --> 13:44.257
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think if you go both ways, I'm not saying that, you know, this is necessarily something only positive through, you know, for that sense.

13:44.298 --> 13:47.382
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that that's a positive thing that happened.

13:48.087 --> 13:58.438
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess the next thing that that that happened is, you know, they did come to some sort of agreement on smaller things.

14:00.340 --> 14:08.289
[SPEAKER_01]: So it shows that they are working a little more closely together and maybe there are some concessions happening.

14:09.110 --> 14:15.597
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's still the big one is going to be about the salary cap

14:15.813 --> 14:36.049
[SPEAKER_01]: they're both looking at it from different perspectives which is kind of interesting because the players want at I think it's 27 and a half percent of the gross and the league is saying no we'll give you x number of whatever the net is but if you look at it from a gross perspective it's probably like closer to like

14:36.029 --> 14:38.152
[SPEAKER_01]: 15% gross or something like that.

14:39.033 --> 14:47.064
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think, and I looked at this and, you know, there's there's some really sharp people who are putting together some great pieces when it comes to this stuff.

14:47.865 --> 14:52.511
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think last year they were at like under 10% gross.

14:53.232 --> 14:54.834
[SPEAKER_01]: The revenue that the players got.

14:55.275 --> 15:00.362
[SPEAKER_01]: So to ask for to be from under 10% to jump up to 27 and a half.

15:00.402 --> 15:01.704
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a, that's a pretty big jump.

15:01.724 --> 15:02.825
[SPEAKER_01]: You're more than doubling.

15:03.686 --> 15:05.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Now should the league.

15:06.758 --> 15:17.697
[SPEAKER_01]: do more than just, you know, times it by one and a half, maybe they should, maybe maybe that should be a little bit more again in the negotiation.

15:17.957 --> 15:20.902
[SPEAKER_01]: What I was thinking, I wonder what would happen.

15:21.884 --> 15:27.433
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, whatever way you want to explain it, whether it's through gross or

15:28.561 --> 15:40.393
[SPEAKER_01]: What if the what if the league got closer to 20 and said you guys want 27 and a half we'll get to 20 and over the over the the five years.

15:41.521 --> 15:44.565
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, you hit these markers and it eventually gets to 25.

15:44.845 --> 15:49.011
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder, and that may be what they're doing right now for all we know.

15:49.071 --> 15:50.653
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't heard anything about that.

15:50.693 --> 15:59.204
[SPEAKER_01]: But I wonder if the league is actually working towards that or if they're like hard-lined at, you know, at what they what they're what they're saying right now.

16:00.125 --> 16:03.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the players will have to come down.

16:03.149 --> 16:04.250
[SPEAKER_01]: The league will have to come up.

16:04.431 --> 16:05.452
[SPEAKER_01]: Will they meet in the middle?

16:05.512 --> 16:07.815
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know who has the leverage there.

16:08.369 --> 16:17.291
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you're talking about March 10th being two weeks away, a little bit less than two weeks away, like I'm hoping that there's some movement.

16:17.331 --> 16:19.136
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping that these talks are happening.

16:19.517 --> 16:23.948
[SPEAKER_01]: And the problem is that, again, it's about who's blinking first.

16:24.586 --> 16:25.347
[SPEAKER_01]: the league.

16:26.148 --> 16:30.573
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I forget how long it took for the league to send in a new proposal.

16:31.394 --> 16:33.196
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they send in their new proposal.

16:33.356 --> 16:36.480
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they're like, well, the players aren't acting in enough urgency.

16:36.500 --> 16:40.625
[SPEAKER_01]: And the players are like, it's like over a month to get us the last proposal.

16:40.665 --> 16:41.386
[SPEAKER_01]: So quit.

16:41.406 --> 16:43.288
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's really about this public perception.

16:44.629 --> 16:53.800
[SPEAKER_01]: But the problem with these negotiations and then being so public is there's that there's a trust that is

16:54.455 --> 16:59.021
[SPEAKER_01]: like right in front of her eyes, the trust is just slowly, slowly going away.

16:59.101 --> 17:07.413
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and who knows, we don't know how much trust there was there in the first place, especially when Nefisa Collier talks about the owner and the way that she did from Jump Street.

17:08.014 --> 17:21.492
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I'm hopeful that we can see some progress, you know, and maybe that March 10th date is really not a real date, maybe it was like maybe the real date is really like March 17, and they can still do everything.

17:21.843 --> 17:25.991
[SPEAKER_01]: But you're really just trying to get them back to the table and get them working.

17:26.071 --> 17:37.472
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm hopeful, this podcast is hopeful, if we don't have a season, I've no idea what we're going to talk about, but you know, if we do have a season,

17:38.330 --> 17:41.074
[SPEAKER_01]: All of this stuff is going to be truncated in a small amount of times.

17:41.114 --> 17:42.976
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to have tons of stuff talk about.

17:42.996 --> 17:44.699
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe two more stuff to talk about.

17:45.400 --> 17:47.562
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, so that's that.

17:47.683 --> 17:55.533
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll circle back when we hear, like I'm constantly looking at the athletic apps and looking for Sabrina's name and going like, OK.

17:55.553 --> 17:58.177
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see what Sabrina says about this.

17:58.978 --> 18:00.400
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm on it.

18:00.840 --> 18:05.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking for anything and everything that comes to that comes up about this.

18:06.768 --> 18:07.189
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.

18:08.435 --> 18:16.757
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing that I wanted to get your thoughts on was, uh, our friend, can Rado Pascal, who's been on this show a couple of times already.

18:17.227 --> 18:19.270
[SPEAKER_01]: He put out his mock draft.

18:19.891 --> 18:23.516
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Konrato, he writes for the center hub.

18:23.556 --> 18:27.682
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the digital content person for the center hubs.

18:27.762 --> 18:29.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, I don't know how much writing he's doing.

18:29.344 --> 18:32.609
[SPEAKER_01]: But I know that says his jam right now.

18:32.649 --> 18:35.413
[SPEAKER_01]: He's also does a podcast called East meets West.

18:36.555 --> 18:39.459
[SPEAKER_01]: And he put together a mock draft.

18:39.539 --> 18:45.748
[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought was pretty interesting because he has been steadfast

18:47.163 --> 18:49.486
[SPEAKER_01]: our fam should not be the number one pick.

18:49.786 --> 18:50.227
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

18:50.247 --> 18:57.475
[SPEAKER_01]: And every other mock draft I have seen says that our fam is going to be the number one pick.

18:57.595 --> 19:03.041
[SPEAKER_01]: So very interested to see or to hear your thoughts on his board.

19:03.061 --> 19:14.094
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll read out his top four because he also has a couple other players that are higher on this list than what we saw from Sabrina's mock draft from the other day.

19:14.614 --> 19:15.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

19:15.155 --> 19:16.917
[SPEAKER_01]: So he has

19:17.774 --> 19:21.401
[SPEAKER_01]: She is, by the way, almost four years older than Abba Fam.

19:23.024 --> 19:30.959
[SPEAKER_01]: She has Abba Fam at two, Learn Betts at three, and Kiki Rice at four.

19:31.119 --> 19:32.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Now.

19:32.455 --> 19:35.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I called this a mock draft, but he calls it a big board.

19:35.179 --> 19:39.927
[SPEAKER_01]: So this has nothing to do with where the teams may want to draft.

19:39.947 --> 19:43.273
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's saying this is the best, more to do with who he believes of the best players.

19:43.333 --> 19:50.805
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you add, well, when we bring him on, we'll have a discussion over what players fit some teams better.

19:51.326 --> 19:55.493
[SPEAKER_01]: But what did you think of that for as far as the big board?

19:56.722 --> 20:11.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, like cars in the table, like I do trust can rattle, you know, more than, you know, my own opinion on a lot of this stuff, just because of how much time he's put in and how, you know, I haven't put in as much, but I think that

20:12.382 --> 20:29.007
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, just from a what I value MBA and W MBA is like, you know, from a prospects perspective like I don't think you can go wrong at AZ and I will fam one or two I probably would lean I will fam just because of.

20:28.987 --> 20:31.990
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, her size and the way she moves at six, three.

20:32.050 --> 20:40.940
[SPEAKER_00]: And the way she passes for a big and and you know, the way that she could play defense and like, you know, and also the fact that she's four years younger than AZ foot.

20:41.000 --> 20:47.428
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just think that there's a lot of potential there and it's a lot of realistic potential and not really like this, you know, project type of potential.

20:47.468 --> 20:54.876
[SPEAKER_00]: It's more like you could see like the scalability and see like, okay, someone who plays that defense that well, who's this young,

20:54.856 --> 21:02.336
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, moves the way she does it this size, like this almost feels like a kind of camp miss prospect and I'm not saying she's going to be like some MVP type of player.

21:02.416 --> 21:04.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that, you know, we're looking at.

21:05.032 --> 21:11.944
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, her floor is probably like, you know, high level starter and her ceiling is like all W type of player.

21:12.665 --> 21:28.812
[SPEAKER_00]: And with Azy Fud, you know, she was a former number one high school recruit the year after page and she's a fifth year senior and she's an incredible ball player like I think that she's the best three point shooter in the dub in college and we'll.

21:28.792 --> 21:35.241
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, achieve that height in the WMBA, not like it will not take that long for her to be like top three three point shooter in the league.

21:36.062 --> 21:52.065
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's also a camp miss type of prospect like I don't see a world in where AZ foot is a bad player ever like I don't it's it's really just injury dependent and I have you haven't had to worry about an AZ foot injury in a while Whereas she kind of did starter college career with a lot of injuries, but you know, I think that she.

21:52.045 --> 21:57.915
[SPEAKER_00]: I think she's like a, I think, honestly, both of these prospects are prospects that will fit on whatever team you put them on.

21:57.935 --> 21:58.717
[SPEAKER_00]: It does not matter.

21:59.819 --> 22:07.712
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think kind of looking at the links, just like their ability to potentially just add easy food to an already great roster is just like a little unfair.

22:07.752 --> 22:11.800
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, she's just going to do all the right thing.

22:11.820 --> 22:13.943
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a great defender, great three point shooter.

22:14.063 --> 22:14.965
[SPEAKER_00]: I think

22:14.945 --> 22:22.286
[SPEAKER_00]: My pause with her as a player is just her being able to, you know, initiate self creation looks at the next level.

22:22.306 --> 22:29.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if Konradot anticipates that if that's going to be a strength of the first or he's just kind of like look like, you know, this player can.

22:29.947 --> 22:50.622
[SPEAKER_00]: play defense at a high level and it's going to be one of the best three point shooters in the league like that already alone in a weaker class should be considered a number one player and I would agree with that and you know maybe there's he does buy the self creation and I would probably agree with that too but I think in terms of just what I value as a prospect I'd go all with fam one in terms of Lauren at the three for me like

22:51.158 --> 23:00.248
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the way like I would maybe feel about that type of selection is that you just don't really believe in many of the other prospects because I think Lauren Beth is a good basketball player.

23:00.608 --> 23:01.469
[SPEAKER_00]: I've watched her a lot.

23:01.990 --> 23:10.118
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't really buy the archetype of like I feel like we're fading away from the six seven you know center that can't shoot.

23:10.359 --> 23:11.360
[SPEAKER_00]: But she's a great passer.

23:11.880 --> 23:12.661
[SPEAKER_00]: She's great defender.

23:12.701 --> 23:14.984
[SPEAKER_00]: She moves well like I don't know.

23:15.444 --> 23:18.988
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just you know her not being

23:18.968 --> 23:46.512
[SPEAKER_00]: at the next level targeted on the perimeter if you want to get a switch and go buy her or you know I just feel like some of the best teams don't really utilize that that type of height in their in their player like you know Asia Wilson's the best player in the league like they weren't really throwing out you know someone who's that tall with her it was more like she in the most important moments it's like she's one of the tallest players on the on the roster and but you know I think the obvious omission is Olivia Miles who I think just

23:48.584 --> 24:07.774
[SPEAKER_00]: I could see why she's not there, but I would probably have her there just because I think that, you know, I value IQ and passing and I think she's the best out of anyone here with that she's just incredible with like her vision and like I remember watching her for the first time in college and I think it was honestly last year because she missed her entire sophomore year.

24:07.754 --> 24:08.815
[SPEAKER_00]: or it was her junior year.

24:08.895 --> 24:10.757
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the year she missed Hannah Doggo's rookie year.

24:10.797 --> 24:12.159
[SPEAKER_00]: She missed that entire year with injury.

24:12.519 --> 24:16.304
[SPEAKER_00]: And so when I watched her when her and Hannah were on the court together, I was just like, holy, crud.

24:16.744 --> 24:25.294
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like I was watching men's college basketball or even the NBA just the way that she could come off a picker role and just like dish it to someone.

24:25.314 --> 24:26.796
[SPEAKER_00]: And just like, it's picture perfect.

24:26.856 --> 24:28.157
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just like, no look.

24:28.177 --> 24:28.938
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's flashy.

24:28.958 --> 24:30.640
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just like, whoa,

24:30.620 --> 24:34.364
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the question for her has always been the three point shooting, but I think the percentage is look good.

24:34.424 --> 24:37.947
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say that jump shot is never looks good in me, like just in terms of the way it looks.

24:38.568 --> 24:43.372
[SPEAKER_00]: So I guess if you buy it, you buy it and then I imagine she's probably a two or three prospect for you.

24:43.433 --> 24:44.293
[SPEAKER_00]: If you don't, you don't.

24:44.333 --> 24:45.314
[SPEAKER_00]: And I could see how she falls.

24:45.374 --> 25:00.289
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think for me, I would just have her in that top three, just in case, like a what if, like it translates to the next level, because if it does, then you're looking at like, you know, you're looking at an all star, honestly, in my opinion.

25:00.269 --> 25:08.321
[SPEAKER_00]: She's been like a slow riser I feel like it and draft boards like she was a high recruit coming out of high school and then I think this, you know, draft class.

25:09.603 --> 25:14.530
[SPEAKER_00]: This year I felt her stock kind of fall and I feel like it's coming back up, you know, we watched her play.

25:14.550 --> 25:21.059
[SPEAKER_00]: We like her if she does all the right things, um, you know, so I think it doesn't test off the board.

25:21.260 --> 25:24.805
[SPEAKER_01]: She just looks like a steady really good basketball player.

25:25.165 --> 25:26.968
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I agree with that.

25:26.948 --> 25:28.510
[SPEAKER_01]: So that is his first tier.

25:28.550 --> 25:37.220
[SPEAKER_01]: His second tier is Nell and Gloma, Iyana Martine, Flaujay, Johnson, Olivia Miles at eight, which is where the Valkyries actually draft.

25:37.240 --> 25:38.341
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, this is not a mock.

25:38.361 --> 25:39.562
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a big board.

25:39.883 --> 25:45.709
[SPEAKER_01]: And then tonight, Latsin at nine, Hakez would be in the next tier at 10.

25:45.769 --> 25:47.431
[SPEAKER_01]: And we've talked about her a lot.

25:47.972 --> 25:53.378
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I just thought, you know, I thought it was

25:53.695 --> 26:08.937
[SPEAKER_01]: when we do bring him on, we'll ask him sort of about fits, you know, hearing there and just the fact that he in his, in his big board, where I'm sure age is not as big of a deal as it would be on, uh,

26:09.068 --> 26:21.721
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, in a mock, um, you know, he's got AZ-FUD who's uh, 23, Lauren Betts, 22 and a half, Kiki Rice, 22, um, Olivia Miles at eight is 23.

26:21.841 --> 26:31.511
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so the, the, our fan being under 20, Nell Angloma still being under 20, Ian and Martin being barely over 20.

26:31.531 --> 26:38.518
[SPEAKER_01]: That, that is going to matter in some of these, uh,

26:38.498 --> 26:52.383
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, as that matters, but also like you could probably anticipate, you can problem, well, I guess it might change now considering the CBA is agreed on and then you have more money in the W, but you know, some of those players may be may get asked by teams to stash for a year.

26:53.144 --> 26:58.354
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I think one of the things that they may, I don't know if this is 100% agreed upon.

26:59.415 --> 27:01.960
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think they are adding roster spots.

27:02.521 --> 27:03.122
[SPEAKER_01]: So.

27:04.283 --> 27:24.992
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we have like a developmental process on the yeah you have developmental roster spots they don't have enough players necessarily to have a developmental team or league so you they may still want them to go play overseas because they're not getting those reps but yeah yeah you know you think about how the warriors use their

27:24.972 --> 27:28.617
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, the last two or three spots on the bench.

27:28.638 --> 27:41.597
[SPEAKER_01]: I guys who aren't necessarily going to play, but they practice and, you know, they have to be ready, but they're also not like your tipis to be top prospects, because you want those guys to probably play a little bit more in the G league than to just sit on the bench.

27:41.577 --> 27:53.136
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing is that like those leagues don't run at the same time, so it's like, yeah, stay in France and, you know, prepare for your Euro team, but that league doesn't even start until the W's over anyway.

27:53.276 --> 27:57.523
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to have to invest in a g league type of thing for sure.

27:57.543 --> 27:58.945
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it doesn't have to be.

27:59.735 --> 28:13.355
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, as expansive as it is in the MBA, because I know it's probably harder to run than we think, but heck, I'd be down to have a San Jose, you know, whatever G league WMBA team that plays at the sales estate event center.

28:13.435 --> 28:14.277
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be down with that.

28:14.377 --> 28:15.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd go watch.

28:15.318 --> 28:15.959
[SPEAKER_01]: So all right.

28:15.979 --> 28:17.862
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk some.

28:17.842 --> 28:20.404
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk some more yours hoops here for a few minutes.

28:21.485 --> 28:25.409
[SPEAKER_01]: Christophe's porzing is you got to watch the one game that he played in.

28:25.810 --> 28:28.793
[SPEAKER_01]: I missed that game because I just saw that they were losing by so much.

28:28.853 --> 28:31.195
[SPEAKER_01]: They did come back in the end, but I was like, I don't want to watch this.

28:31.275 --> 28:33.277
[SPEAKER_01]: I get too depressed watching bad basketball.

28:33.957 --> 28:35.619
[SPEAKER_01]: How do you think Christophe's fit?

28:36.940 --> 28:37.921
[SPEAKER_01]: How did he look?

28:38.362 --> 28:41.725
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think this is going to be an option for them next year?

28:41.785 --> 28:46.009
[SPEAKER_01]: What were your thoughts off of his 20-minute performance or whatever it was?

28:46.630 --> 28:54.357
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I feel like they kind of played better without him, but I'm not going to like fault him to that, like, because there is a little bit of a fake come back in the fourth.

28:55.039 --> 28:56.725
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're really down by like 12, but

28:58.966 --> 29:02.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think it's, I think he's a fine player when healthy.

29:02.331 --> 29:04.314
[SPEAKER_00]: This is kind of hard to evaluate this kind of stuff.

29:04.495 --> 29:08.241
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's only played one game because he's been sick since, yeah.

29:08.261 --> 29:13.028
[SPEAKER_00]: And is like, he's like, you know, illness is not like a celebrini.

29:13.048 --> 29:13.950
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, go check on his ankle.

29:14.070 --> 29:21.702
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a immunosystem like, you know, it's, it's kind of hard to, hard to evaluate.

29:21.962 --> 29:26.830
[SPEAKER_01]: But, and I wonder how that is going to affect his off season because,

29:27.130 --> 29:29.353
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it going to be better for him just to go, you know what?

29:29.373 --> 29:30.374
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to stay here.

29:30.394 --> 29:32.296
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to play one more year.

29:32.356 --> 29:33.518
[SPEAKER_01]: Take a smaller deal.

29:37.002 --> 29:50.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Because the future, his future is so up in the air and dependent on health and he, I mean, I like the health thing is just on top of already the injuries that he had to deal with as the, you know, the original unicorn.

29:51.960 --> 29:52.260
[SPEAKER_01]: And

29:53.371 --> 30:03.704
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't believe that he's ever going to be a, even a 60 player, 60 game player per season ever.

30:03.884 --> 30:14.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're not going to be able to get like a random fully healthy auto ported junior season and then, you know, everything before that and everything after that is so like injury riddled, but we got him for that one year.

30:14.317 --> 30:22.888
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably not going to have him with Chris Devs just given, you know, the situation and given his health status and yeah.

30:24.590 --> 30:30.899
[SPEAKER_01]: I, because I don't know how else you would think, Jimmy comes back next year, you stuff, drama, and stuff stuff.

30:31.781 --> 30:44.860
[SPEAKER_01]: You bring back poor zingas and I guess you hope one of these younger players kind of uses the end of this season to come into their own, whether it's, I mean, as looking like both pods and moody are, you know, doing that right now.

30:45.441 --> 30:49.146
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of imp, I, I've been impressed watching moody because as we've said,

30:50.594 --> 30:55.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes we were like, wow, he plays really good and then we were like, okay, but he's playing with Steph.

30:55.553 --> 31:02.038
[SPEAKER_01]: What does he look like when he plays without Steph and it wasn't as good, but now he's played all these games without Steph.

31:02.828 --> 31:05.611
[SPEAKER_01]: And he looks good, you know, he does the moody stuff.

31:05.651 --> 31:19.343
[SPEAKER_01]: He as long as he doesn't, as long as he stays with himself and doesn't try to do too many things like sometimes all of a sudden he'll pump fake and he'll come down the baseline and I'm like, is this dude gonna try to yam on somebody and no, he, you know, he kind of gets stuck and has to make the pass out.

31:19.403 --> 31:22.646
[SPEAKER_01]: But I've liked what he's done.

31:22.686 --> 31:25.208
[SPEAKER_01]: The Anthony Melton has been really good.

31:26.409 --> 31:31.654
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if Anthony Melton is your sixth man,

31:32.107 --> 31:35.252
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to imagine he's going to get tons of offers in the offseason.

31:36.534 --> 31:37.015
[SPEAKER_00]: That's tough.

31:37.035 --> 31:45.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because like I was thinking about it today, like where does the Anthony Milton rank in like the warriors like non big name players?

31:45.588 --> 31:59.650
[SPEAKER_00]: Like since, you know, since the championship year, like, you know, since like auto-ported junior and, you know, since Dante

31:59.765 --> 32:01.328
[SPEAKER_00]: might be the best one out of all of them.

32:01.909 --> 32:08.882
[SPEAKER_00]: And because of that, is he playing himself out of a, you know, warriors contract, then if so, like that's that's a big blow.

32:08.922 --> 32:12.949
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's really been, you know, I think I think he's been like awesome.

32:13.129 --> 32:17.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Like every time I watch him is just like, man, just imagine what this team would have looked like, maybe more healthy.

32:18.279 --> 32:18.960
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a bummer.

32:18.980 --> 32:21.064
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this kind of has maybe some.

32:21.753 --> 32:28.841
[SPEAKER_00]: some 22, 22, 23 warriors, if that written all over it, where it's like, maybe you sneak a good route.

32:28.861 --> 32:29.943
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they were last year.

32:29.963 --> 32:32.285
[SPEAKER_00]: You sneak around and then you'll lose.

32:32.325 --> 32:36.230
[SPEAKER_00]: But you look back at that 22 team and it's like, wow, you had Dante deep in Chanzo.

32:36.330 --> 32:37.992
[SPEAKER_00]: And J.P. was on that team.

32:38.072 --> 32:39.254
[SPEAKER_00]: And Ty Jerome was on that team.

32:39.334 --> 32:45.301
[SPEAKER_00]: And although he was an activated for the playoffs, but it's like, there were some guys on that team that weren't fully as evolved as they are now.

32:45.361 --> 32:46.963
[SPEAKER_00]: But had we had them at that state?

32:46.983 --> 32:51.388
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, look at what we had.

32:51.368 --> 32:53.351
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, kind of the direction that they're headed.

32:56.255 --> 33:01.623
[SPEAKER_01]: Player for player, money, age, longevity, doesn't matter.

33:01.664 --> 33:05.870
[SPEAKER_01]: Like melts in over pods every day of the week right now.

33:06.451 --> 33:07.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Like excited to close, I don't think.

33:08.851 --> 33:17.127
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm positive played really, like, did you see, did you get to catch that nugget game like in rebounds the other day, he was, like, actually on a heater in the fourth quarter.

33:17.227 --> 33:21.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he, like, took it upon himself to just take hard shots and all of them were fall.

33:21.956 --> 33:23.780
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt like, and that's the problem, right?

33:23.800 --> 33:25.143
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he can play like that?

33:25.283 --> 33:30.032
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the next game, he just plays terribly, and people start hating him.

33:30.012 --> 33:58.534
[SPEAKER_00]: The thing with pods though is I feel like I've kind of been saying it all year's like the stuff usually looks right It's just a matter of like sometimes that ball falling and sometimes that's really bad misses like off the side of the backboard or like just a complete miss of the rim and it's like I can't how do you miss that badly, but I kind of almost think like he needs He needs of the rebounds to like get him going a little bit like if the rebounds in the charges it seemed yeah Like he's been on a he's been on a swing up swing lately and and you know the rebounds have been quite up so

33:58.514 --> 34:09.874
[SPEAKER_01]: And then our guy, and I was very interested in your thoughts on him, is Geese Santos a rotational piece.

34:12.908 --> 34:13.669
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that the question?

34:13.970 --> 34:17.236
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, do you think he is a rotational piece of lawyers?

34:17.256 --> 34:21.603
[SPEAKER_00]: I think without a doubt, he's played himself into a rotational piece.

34:21.624 --> 34:26.492
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess we'd have to look at the roster once healthy if it's where he kind of falls.

34:26.572 --> 34:33.685
[SPEAKER_00]: But I wonder, as the podcast conversations from plus minus and simmin, then I'll TK show, it's like,

34:33.665 --> 34:59.592
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe Dramon comes off the bench and is like, do you start Y next year, start like Steph Melton G. Jimmy K. P. Like would that be, you know, what the starting lineup would look like or, you know, so I think that I think that G. has started to really understand, you know, the Dramon role offensively like he's just always like when Steph was there he was looking for Steph a lot and, you know, he realizes that he's not the most talented offensive player or almost athletics.

34:59.612 --> 35:00.853
[SPEAKER_00]: So you kind of have to

35:00.833 --> 35:08.440
[SPEAKER_00]: play a little more tricky, whether that's, you know, just a hard pump fake at the rim and a defender flies by and you're going to easily have like how many times he does that so much.

35:09.301 --> 35:14.546
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but I wonder if, you know, he could, he could be a starter for this team.

35:15.427 --> 35:18.409
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, the, yeah, I think I think he's good.

35:18.469 --> 35:20.251
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the three point shot looks really good.

35:20.291 --> 35:23.334
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah.

35:23.354 --> 35:23.654
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

35:23.975 --> 35:29.760
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's end with this because I know you have a somewhat

35:30.668 --> 35:31.690
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an IMAX.

35:31.710 --> 35:44.641
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that the movie movie movie with the bear and yeah, and it's the Alex is name Alexander or something in a retu He's the one who's actually directing the Tom Tommy Cruz Judy or what do you know what's it called?

35:45.363 --> 35:45.724
[SPEAKER_00]: Digger

35:47.358 --> 35:48.560
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, he's we're gonna.

35:48.600 --> 35:49.902
[SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen the revenue either.

35:50.583 --> 35:52.186
[SPEAKER_00]: And he also directed Birdman.

35:52.206 --> 36:00.099
[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, the I'm max always does like, they were partnered with like a 24 for a while where they're just putting up a 24 rereleases on I'm max.

36:00.119 --> 36:03.865
[SPEAKER_00]: So I saw Moonlight for the first time last year and that was also see in I max.

36:03.845 --> 36:20.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, there's just any time, like, I should, I'm just so lucky to have an IMAX at my local AMC because I have the AMC A list and I just get an IMAX, you know, as a quote, I'm quote free because I pay, you know, X amount of money per month, and, but the IMAX, I get notifications and it's like, you bought this ticket.

36:20.347 --> 36:21.749
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, what did I buy this ticket?

36:21.909 --> 36:23.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Brian bought this ticket.

36:23.711 --> 36:25.253
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, man, um, that.

36:25.334 --> 36:33.244
[SPEAKER_01]: So at real quick, just because we were talking about it, but I was talking to some folks, and I talk about IMAX all the time.

36:33.224 --> 36:39.606
[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of folks who live in smaller cities are like, yeah, my life experience two hours away.

36:39.721 --> 36:43.045
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just felt I feel bad now you actually have a real eye max screen.

36:43.105 --> 36:45.328
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a fake one, you know, you have a real one.

36:45.368 --> 36:59.406
[SPEAKER_01]: I just have the I just have the super charged one like, you know, yours looks like you don't the majority of the countries I'm actually and I just said, but they're not super duper like real eye max like they're they're bigger, but like that one that you have that's like that's like the real deal.

36:59.787 --> 37:02.631
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to actually within 10 miles from me.

37:02.651 --> 37:03.952
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm actually pretty lucky.

37:04.333 --> 37:05.134
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all right.

37:05.154 --> 37:06.015
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.

37:05.995 --> 37:07.156
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk with the last thing.

37:07.176 --> 37:09.519
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can get out of here, which is Steve Kerr.

37:10.260 --> 37:12.683
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I think this is the under reported story for the warriors.

37:12.924 --> 37:18.591
[SPEAKER_01]: We know that he is a lame duck coach in the sense of he's doesn't have a contract next year.

37:18.651 --> 37:19.872
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's coaching this year.

37:19.912 --> 37:22.295
[SPEAKER_01]: And it seems preferable to him.

37:22.315 --> 37:25.219
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it's preferable to lakub.

37:25.819 --> 37:27.682
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if this frustrates lakub.

37:27.822 --> 37:29.444
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if this is what lakub wants.

37:29.504 --> 37:30.846
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot read lakub.

37:30.906 --> 37:32.728
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you listen to the TK show?

37:33.873 --> 37:57.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but he just seems irritated all the time now, like I can't, I can't gauge if Lake up is like Lake up just usually lake up is hyperbally and positivity and, you know,

37:59.945 --> 38:12.701
[SPEAKER_01]: If the warriors run back, what you said, bring back KP, bring back Melton, bring back Steph, Dreyman, Jimmy, or who, who better to coach this team than Steve Kirk.

38:12.841 --> 38:19.590
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't, unless there's somebody in the pipeline right now, who is warriors adjacent.

38:20.887 --> 38:23.189
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't want to coach, he doesn't want to deal with people.

38:23.689 --> 38:24.610
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, but who else?

38:24.650 --> 38:27.313
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't even really mean to get all the things seriously, but you're right.

38:27.393 --> 38:33.218
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is totally like a Steve Kerr team, and it feels like anyone other than him coaching would be not the right call.

38:33.258 --> 38:39.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't really think of many other candidates that outside of a former warrior player, like it just doesn't, it wouldn't make sense.

38:39.563 --> 38:41.085
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is Steve Kerr's system.

38:41.125 --> 38:42.386
[SPEAKER_00]: This is Stephen Kerr's system.

38:42.906 --> 38:44.628
[SPEAKER_00]: It would not make sense for him not to coach.

38:44.708 --> 38:50.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And I kind of feel like Lake Oban Kerr don't really have this personal relationship

38:50.873 --> 39:13.118
[SPEAKER_01]: After working together for as long as they have an experiencing as much success together as long as they have and I guess it makes sense like he's big boss and But I'm looking on the current staff I think I'm not 100% sure, but I think Terry Stots is the only guy with actual coaching experience

39:13.857 --> 39:14.979
[SPEAKER_00]: like head coaching experience.

39:14.999 --> 39:15.480
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, head coach.

39:15.500 --> 39:16.782
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, head coaching experience.

39:17.283 --> 39:17.403
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

39:17.423 --> 39:18.666
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I mean, it would have made sense.

39:18.726 --> 39:31.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe if at concern was still here, it would have made sense if a Demarco, you know, maybe didn't go to the liberty, like those tournament, you know, Demarco, especially has been there since, you know, as long as hers been there, I'm pretty sure.

39:31.228 --> 39:32.811
[SPEAKER_00]: So you need to return your text.

39:34.006 --> 39:37.434
[SPEAKER_00]: and I have never gotten the text back from that guy.

39:38.897 --> 39:43.708
[SPEAKER_00]: But no, there's no one else who I can, you know, share the stack house.

39:44.370 --> 39:47.577
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, are they grooming stack house to become a head coach?

39:48.586 --> 39:50.789
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I feel like he'll be ahead coach, maybe someday.

39:50.829 --> 39:55.476
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just feel like the current handoff for warriors coaches is gonna go internally.

39:55.496 --> 40:05.270
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's supposed to, like, I think it's like, you know, he's gonna, it's gonna be when the stuff is over and the stuff, it would just feel wrong if it is in.

40:05.350 --> 40:07.653
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they go seek externally.

40:07.713 --> 40:11.999
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like that's not the warriors way that've been doing this internal stuff, especially looking at the Dunlibi higher.

40:12.040 --> 40:13.261
[SPEAKER_00]: How that was an internal higher.

40:13.321 --> 40:17.968
[SPEAKER_00]: And seems like that's, and I think that's good.

40:17.948 --> 40:38.419
[SPEAKER_00]: has, you know, I think as well as they've done stuff on the basketball court, I think it's smarter to kind of have internal hires rather than go externally and just like this is the way we do things and you go up the the latter and I would just go back what you were saying with Adkinson, I mean Mike Brown, do you hope that he gets fired by the nicks?

40:38.519 --> 40:40.002
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that's going to happen.

40:40.783 --> 40:46.251
[SPEAKER_01]: He has like a little Sala, Robert Sala, like type of reunion,

40:47.176 --> 40:54.504
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm trying to think of other like the Luke Walton's name is not out there anymore as far as a legitimate guy.

40:54.524 --> 40:57.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but we're not happy about like really, this year and don't seem like great options.

40:58.989 --> 41:07.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't see the, like that this is why I'm saying the story is under reported unless nobody believes that curse going anywhere.

41:07.278 --> 41:10.281
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't believe it yet, but I know that it's been,

41:11.510 --> 41:14.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I know that it's being talked about more and more and you can kind of see that.

41:14.654 --> 41:16.537
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think Simmons talked about it, right?

41:16.557 --> 41:18.460
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, he says he's not coming back.

41:18.900 --> 41:24.308
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then TK is talked about it late on the, what is his show called with the LA guy?

41:24.408 --> 41:26.070
[SPEAKER_00]: The North meets South or North meets South.

41:26.090 --> 41:26.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, North and South.

41:28.093 --> 41:29.114
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he talked about it too.

41:29.275 --> 41:36.545
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, the Simmons, the Simmons comment caused TK to drop like three F bombs in like a sentence.

41:37.906 --> 41:40.470
[SPEAKER_00]: He did say, yeah, he did say that.

41:41.463 --> 41:42.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I just buy it.

41:42.465 --> 41:43.046
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't buy it.

41:43.226 --> 41:49.438
[SPEAKER_01]: It just it wouldn't make sense and scares me is what it does because it doesn't seem like the warriors have a necessarily have a plan.

41:49.498 --> 41:58.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, maybe lakeups plan is we're just going to go higher like the biggest name possible of whoever is out there, but I don't know who's out there.

41:58.135 --> 41:59.758
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm, you know, so we'll see.

41:59.738 --> 42:28.159
[SPEAKER_00]: in terms of like important select the Steph Curry era if you use like done leavey clay drae, Steph Kerr like you'd say Kerr at Steph's by far the most important but it occurs like second right like you'd probably say like Kerr's the second most important of this you know dine see yeah Kerr or Clay or Dramon like you know I probably say Kerr as well just because he's did the consistent but like a text

42:28.240 --> 42:30.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, they're still competitive.

42:30.465 --> 42:37.600
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but, you know, the three of them, they have the, they have the, or the four of them, I guess you just have the titles together.

42:38.081 --> 42:45.117
[SPEAKER_01]: So there is something to the idea of, you know, the unit and the consistency and the understanding of each other.

42:45.217 --> 42:47.582
[SPEAKER_01]: And, but, you know, it's got to be.

42:47.917 --> 42:52.524
[SPEAKER_01]: It's got to be hard and, you know, we forget all the back injuries that Steve went through over the years.

42:52.564 --> 42:58.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember he was right on and all of a sudden, you know, you have other people coaching and it's like, how is Steve curve going to get back?

42:59.594 --> 43:13.755
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, I guess the last thing about just about this, this coaching thing is, you know, if it could Joe Lake up by not securing Steve curve,

43:15.018 --> 43:17.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Could that change the relationship with Curry?

43:17.481 --> 43:22.068
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's really what everyone's biggest fear is is that are they a pair?

43:23.109 --> 43:28.196
[SPEAKER_01]: And if one is not handled correctly, does that affect the other one?

43:28.376 --> 43:30.680
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, I guess that's kind of my biggest fear here.

43:30.920 --> 43:33.604
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, that, you know, one's like bulletproof.

43:33.664 --> 43:44.839
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I feel like Steph isn't gonna have to worry about, you know, you know, have the stuff that maybe Steph is worrying about.

43:45.410 --> 43:46.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

43:46.191 --> 43:47.013
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the worry.

43:48.415 --> 43:57.730
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyways, I'm sure that'll be a discussion that we have more closer to the end of the season, but it looks like the way you're just going to sit in the eighth season, whatever.

43:58.372 --> 44:01.537
[SPEAKER_01]: And probably I'm going to play the clippers in the first plan.

44:01.617 --> 44:02.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what is looking like?

44:02.859 --> 44:04.802
[SPEAKER_00]: She's their kryptonite.

44:05.964 --> 44:07.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, but no harden.

44:08.168 --> 44:10.692
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a little bit of a

44:11.262 --> 44:15.348
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but yeah, so why's like giving up and as teams like playing hard.

44:15.368 --> 44:17.812
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't play them.

44:17.832 --> 44:19.995
[SPEAKER_00]: They traded two starters, two high level starters.

44:20.316 --> 44:21.758
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess it would technically be.

44:22.960 --> 44:24.663
[SPEAKER_01]: It technically would be would be warriors.

44:25.924 --> 44:29.109
[SPEAKER_01]: Suns is a, for always forget how they do the plan.

44:29.410 --> 44:34.918
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's it's nine 10 versus seven eight and then loser of seven eight and winner of nine 10 play.

44:34.938 --> 44:37.422
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the warrior's sons would be first round.

44:37.942 --> 45:01.705
[SPEAKER_01]: for the first playing I guess technically but the lakers are not that far out I thought the lakers were so much more ahead now they were the warriors are but they've they've been pretty average like the warriors of late so they're there might be some movement there might be some six to eight movement if if Steph can come back and get hot but yeah I'm not holding my breath on that one if he does it's just 2022 and like this is what it's looking like

45:02.461 --> 45:05.344
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so that's it from here.

45:05.805 --> 45:06.766
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be back next week.

45:06.826 --> 45:08.348
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I said, we'll talk some unrivaled.

45:08.488 --> 45:21.083
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be able to see hopefully Steph is on his way back by the time we record again and more stuff with the WMBA and their labor negotiations.

45:21.283 --> 45:23.465
[SPEAKER_01]: So all right that's it from here for brai.

45:23.585 --> 45:27.490
[SPEAKER_01]: I am double g. We will see you when we see you peace out
