  Speaker 2: Tire Buying showb So our lead this hour is from
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: La La Land. Big money, big money, big money, No
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: way may stop. So over the weekend if you have
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: not heard, you somehow missed it under the cloak of darkness,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: meaning you're out doing stuff. It's the summer and the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: first weekend in August. I'm assuming you're not sitting around
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: there paying attention to the sports transaction wire to the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: suddenly Skinny o Zembeka hell of a drug. Suddenly Skinny
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Luca now has a very fat wallet. Now he already
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: had a fat bank account, but his wallet is bursting.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Luca Doncik sonny.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: A five year, five year, one hundred and sixty five
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: million dollars extension with the Purple and Gold, Lot of gold,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: lot of gold right there, a lot of goal. Keep
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in mind that that's not really a five year deal.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: He's going to opt out of that in less than
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: five years. But let us discuss the question how big
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: a deal is Luca Dncik's one hundred and sixty five
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: million dollar extension.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: With the Lakers. Put that in into some perspective.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So on this one, I've got launching pad, the full
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Monty and Larry David and we will combine all of
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: these things together and we are going to make.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Some hookah for hookah, Luca, is what we're going to do.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: So Number, I said Number. Everyone freaking out like this
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: is a massive moment, a point of demarcation. And I
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: opened my inbox and when I deleted all the blind
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Scott emails that he sends to me.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I then went through the other email and it was
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: it's over. Now Luca's a Laker for life. It's over.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Clippers suck, you know everything. I didn't bring up.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I didn't email these people to email me these idiots. Surprisingly,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: not one of them from Rick. Oh usually I Rick
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: always the one that sends those messages, but this was
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: some other people who are semi regulars in the email chain.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So anyway, listen, in terms of this being some kind
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: of massive moment spoiler alert, it's not. It's not a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: massive moment. It's a bridge deal. It's think of it
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: like in Nascar, it's a pit stop. Now the race
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: isn't over when you go to pitt Row. It's not over.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You have a pit stop. The race continues, right, you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: go to the gas station in this case, you get
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: some gas there, maybe you get some snacks in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: little mini mart there at the gas station.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And now the real money, though, is in twenty twenty eight.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: So this is just a vehicle to get to eight
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and it's not about the Lakers. This idea that some
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of you idiots have see Luca's falling in love with
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the Lakers.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He loves the Laker, wants to be a Laker for life.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Oh my god.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: He loves Hollywood, loves La the whole thing. It's not
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: about that. It's not about the loyalty. It's not it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: about building the launching pad. This is about building the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: launching pad, and the missile is filled with money, money, money, money.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Luca playing financial chess here and so again, this is
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: not if he'd been traded to Minnesota or Sacramento or
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Atlanta or New Orleans, he would have done the same thing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It is wise financially to play this game. Contracts don't
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: matter if Luca decides two years from now or three
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: years from now, I don't.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Really like being a Laker. I don't like La.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: The player dictates in that world where they go. Luca
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: can manipulate things and decide where they where he wants
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to play next. So that's the reality of that particular situation.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And so he's playing a little bit chess. As we
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: said there, it's strategic. That's the move he signs now,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: assuming he stays healthy, has no major injuries, he keeps
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: getting all NBA selections.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And buy them.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Twenty twenty eight comes around and he's now eligible for
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the I believe I read the largest contract I think
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: is what I read over the weekend in NBA history
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is like four hundred and seventeen million dollars or something
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: like that. That's the real money, that's the real prize,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: not that one hundred and sixty five million. Listen, if
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I got paid one hundred and sixty five MILLI I
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: can't even get a raise from this place. If I
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: got paid one hundred sixty five million, my god, that
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: would be great. But it's the NBA economics right that
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: starter cash for a guy like Luke one hundred and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: sixty five million. So this is a setup, situation, set
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: up job. It's a stopover, and he's just pulling in,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: as we said, to the rest stop or the pit stop.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: He's pulling into the rest in this case, grabbing a gatorade,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: some chips, possibly a candy bar, and then.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: In three years he will go again. Bam.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Let's kick it up a notch and let's get that
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: real money money money now.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Page two.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Are you surprised? Are you surprised that Luca is locking
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: in with the Lakers right now immediately? So I've already
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: revealed my hand if he's rather obvious, I'm not surprised.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: As I said, this is some kind of rhetorical question.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You got to be joking, right, you gotta be joking,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Like Luca was hand delivered by Nico Harrison. And we
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: can get into the conspiracy theories if you'd like. We've
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: done that a lot. But he was hand delivered to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: La by Nico Harrison, and more likely than not, there
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: was some manipulation at the league office, whether that was
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Adam Silver or somebody below Adam Silver, but it was
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: an inside job. It's an inside job. And you are
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the MAVs, all right, you're the MAVs. You're willing to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: trade Luca Danci and you only allow one team to
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: bid on him. Are you out of your bloody mind?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: But that's what happens. So that just doesn't pass any
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: kind of test, any kind of test, and so we're
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: not gonna go readjudicate that right now. But this is
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: what the Lakers have always done. This is why people
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: don't take the Lakers seriously. They're a joke franchise. Everything's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: given to them. Anyone else you have to earn your things.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: The Lakers just everything's given to them, This is why
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: people hate the Lakers and why Laker haters. There's more
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Laker hitters than Laker lovers. They're given the stars and
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: then they seduce them and all this non Hollywood shoe commercials,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: you name it, the court side movie moguls, which don't
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: matter as much anymore now it's more about social media
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: influences and all that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: But it's the same playbook.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: The only difference here, the only difference here is that
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Luca wants to get to that big money. And so
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to get to that big money, you got to have
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this little I see, little one hundred sixty five million,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: but you got to get this contract.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And he sees the long game.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: He sees the long game, and he knows that la
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: gets you a global stage and all that stuff. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: so you want the four hundred million Supermax. From what
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I read over the weekend, you gotta you gotta stick
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: around till twenty twenty eight and then you're everywhere, You're
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: You're everywhere, you're you know, make another Space Jam movie
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: for Luca. Whatever you want, right, whatever you want, you're
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: gonna get. And Dallas would have given him. He would
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: have made more money right now, had he not been
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: traded by the Mavericks, and so the risk is he's
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: gonna get hurt or get fat again and fall in
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: love with the tremendous food options that are out there,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and then that'll cause some issues here. But Luca is
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: positioning himself much like Lebron. Lebron didn't come to LA
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: because he wanted to play for the Lakers. He came
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: to LA because he wanted to make crappy movies and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: have his terrible TV show picked up, and he got
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: everything you wanted. He got all that by playing for
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: the Lakers. And that was a while ago, right Lebron
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: got out of the winning business. Lakers haven't won a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: championship with Lebron, So lucas there he gets the full Monty.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: At this particular point, he's going to get the full Monty.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: It's the branding, the imaging, all that stuff and a
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: few months so, oh, it's the legacy. I don't know
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: about that, but MVPs and titles and all that stuff.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And he wants the statue, the all inclusive full Monty
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: package statue next to Kobe, all that stuff, like the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: mausoleum out in front of that skid Row arena, they
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: play in there. But this is really the calm before
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the financial storm. It is the NBA's new TV deal,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: which just is kicking in this next year with the
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Amazon and NBC picking up part of that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: The cap is going.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: To explode, and Luca knows, his agents know it, the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Lakers know it, everyone involved is aware of what's going
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: to happen here, and so he isn't He isn't settling
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: because this is what his preferred destination. He's settling because
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: this is how to get to his destination, which is
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the next contract. So this is just the takeoff point
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: one hundred sixty five million, which used to be the mountaintop.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: That used to be the mountaintop. It's not the mountaintop
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: for Luca. That's just the base camp the summit. The
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: summit is three years away and really less than in
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: August now, so you get through the rest of twenty
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And then in twenty eight.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So I guess it's like it is kind of almost
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: three years, but twenty twenty eight, that's when you go
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: to the mount supermax wonderful mountaintop. Thin air, good air quality,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: good air quality, not a lot of pollution pretty solid now,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: final point. So one of the comments, as you would expect,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: there are some cliches you're supposed to say when you
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: sign an extension with a team, you talk about how
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you want to win and you're committed to winning, and
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Lucas said that. I saw some of his quotes over
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the weekend. Luka Dotzik said he is confident in the Lakers'
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: title chances. He said, saying we're going for it. That
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: was the quote, We're going for it. So question for
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the esteem panel are the Lakers a championship contender as
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: they are currently constructed or are they a mirage pretender?
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: So the arrow is pointing towards the Mirage and it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: not the hotel in Vegas here, So let's hold off
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: on the parade down figure roh through skid row. The
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: roster is much more of a house of cards situation
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: at this particular point. It's a house of card situation
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: than a championship roster, and so it is a mirage. Look,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Lebron James is headed to year twenty three. We still
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: don't know for sure whether Lebron's going to be on
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the team or not. He's still having daily conniption fits
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: with the Lakers. He's very upset that he's no longer
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the one that's at the very top of the pyramid
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: now that he's been usurped. Alf likes to say usurped
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: by Luke. And that's the direction he's gone from the
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: chosen one Lebron, to the confused one at this particular
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: point in time and again griping these tabloid reports. Lebron
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: griping behind the scenes about being downgraded in the chain
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: of command with the Lakers there and he's upset that
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Luca is now the teacher's pet and that bothers him
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and he's annoyed by that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It's unfortunate, but this is the reality of Lebron as
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: a Laker. People talked about Lebron back in the day
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: chasing rings. The only rings Lebron's chasing now are ones
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: made out of onions, if you know what I mean.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And you still have his buddy podcaster coach now. The
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: real moment in this story where things change is the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: moment they get rid of Lebron's buddy, the podcast guy,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: JJ Reddick, who embarrassed himself as a coach last year
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and in over his head. He loves to oose arrogance,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: though JJ Reddick he's the smartest guy in the room.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Just ask him, he'll tell you. In fact, you don't
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: even have to ask him, and JJ will tell you
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: what a wonderful person he is when he acts like
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: complete a hole. Now, as far as the supported cast
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a championship roster legible acording to Loca, they're going for it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: So let's break that down scientifically. So you're building a
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: championship roster with spare parts.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Is that how that works? I'm looking right.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: So DeAndre Ayton, who has the competitive fire of a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: scented candle, was one of your big pickups this year.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: So hey, listen, people like scented My wife loves scented candles.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of people love scented candles. I don't really
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: build a championship on a scented candle. Marcus Smart, nice player,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: hustle guy, glue guy, Marcus Smart, great haircut, and can't shoot.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Can't shoot And.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: At this point a lot of miles on the odometer
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: from Marcus Smart. He's more name than game and certainly
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: never was all that great in the game. Then you
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: got Austin Reees. This is the biggest problem that I
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I have. So Lebron's unhappy, he wants out. But Austin Reeves,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: can we all agree overaded? Did he not get exposed
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: by Minnesota in the playoffs last year? He got hunted
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: on defense every possession by the Minnesota Timberwolves. His offensive
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: game couldn't make it up. They thought that they had
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: the Lakers Alex Caruso two point zero, and it turns
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: out he's just another phony regular season guy at this point,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Austin Reeves, who disappears when it matters most. There's a
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: dime a dozen and he was exposed in the playoffs
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: this past year. And so yeah, they got Luca. He's
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: in shape. Congratulations ozempic whatever he's doing. Congratulations that he
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: showed up in La looking like you know, he passed,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: passed up on all the offseason buffets and all that
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: these photos, the spread and men's health, all that stuff.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: However, let's revisit.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: This, you and I, We're going to revisit this storyline
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: around pick a date January seventeenth, just an arbitrary date. Well,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: check back in January seventeenth. After a few of those
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: two am Duncan runs get those late night donuts and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the standard post hookah Dave's hot chicken binge.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: We'll see how he's doing.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I'll see how he's doing there, and yeah, he's one
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: extra barbecue sauce and one extra glazed donut away from
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: falling off the wagon. And then he will be dope
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: kitch is instead of you know what I mean. Anyway, listen,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: we'll see Luca. He's looking great now, and that's wonderful
• 16:41

• 29:21
  Speaker 1: point I'm getting at.

• 29:26
  Speaker 7: to where he's awake during the show.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I think could do that. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: thought you were gonna say, why can't he awake, be
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: awake during the day, But then you know, the daytime
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: shows won't put him on. He's been banned from every

• 29:44
  Speaker 7: This is the only show that he that he gets on.
