Did LeBron James make the right decision? · The Shawn Green show

0:01
Hey, good morning everybody. Welcome to the Sean Green show.
0:03
My name is Sean Green. Hope everybody's having a good a
0:05
good a good Sunday morning. As everyone know, LeBron James
0:09
chose all Philadelphia 76ers, which which shocked everybody,
0:14
which shocked me, shocked everybody 'cause everybody cause
0:17
no one everybody didn't think he was gonna chose Philly.
0:19
I've got a many people that thought he was gonna chose the
0:22
Cavaliers, maybe Miami Heat. Miami Heat I wasn't really too
0:26
sure about for I thought he he he isn't going to go to Golden
0:30
State Warriors, but he chose the full WC researchers.
0:34
But I'm going to be honest with you.
0:36
Was that a right move? Was that really, really a right
0:41
move? Because I'm going to be honest,
0:44
I'll be honest. Yes, yes, yes, yes, fully, yes,
0:47
fully other squad. Yes, fully other squad.
0:49
They do. They got the offense quad, they
0:51
got Tyrese Maxi, you got VJ Edgecomb and they got they got
0:56
Jenny Brown, they got Joel and B.
0:59
But I'm going to say this, their success this season depends upon
1:05
the health of Joel and B, because everybody knows how Joel
1:10
and B basically how injury prone this dude really is.
1:15
I mean, damn, this dude, this dude, this dude, he get hurt
1:18
walking to the bathroom. I'm not trying to be funny, but
1:20
he can. His knees aren't that bad.
1:24
And it's both of them. I mean, hey, hey, hey, hey.
1:29
I hope LeBron knows basically what he's doing, man, for real.
1:33
Because if you wanna be having somewhat healthy season like he
1:37
had this past season, fully can go far.
1:41
Fully fully can really go far. Maybe even maybe even the NBA
1:45
championship, NBA championship. I'm a Knicks fan saying this,
1:48
but if he has the injury win season, hey, fully, fully, that
1:56
could go that far, man, for real.
1:58
Please not go that far. Yes, yes, you got some backup
2:01
standards. You got Bonilla, you got Huckle
2:05
port, Huckle Port and you got broom Decent, decent backup
2:10
centers, decent backup centers. These backup centers.
2:13
The case will not Joanna be good, Sir.
2:15
Everybody says yes, yes, good, but that's good.
2:19
But for real. But it is it's a thing though,
2:22
when and B does get hurt or you got to do that low management
2:27
injury management thing. What not for Joanna B because
2:29
you're going to have to it's a it's going to put a lot it'll
2:34
put a lot of pressure on LeBron James down in that post.
2:37
It really does it really does for real.
2:41
Hey, I'm going to say hey, I hope hey, I hope he knows what
2:44
he's doing. I hope he knows what he's doing.
2:46
I know I know I know Philly a Philly a hey faith so he got
2:52
squat with for he got squat win and be healthy for real.
2:57
But also hey, also according to reports, record reports reads
3:01
why he didn't chose Cleveland because one could be because one
3:06
because when he asked Cleveland to trade for Kyrie Irving and
3:10
Dallas said no, Dallas said they ain't the Dallas is not trading
3:15
Kyrie Irving period. There's been multiple teams been
3:17
asking the Cleveland Cavaliers what not for the availability of
3:21
Kyrie Irving. Hey, and Dallas is not trading
3:25
Kyrie. They ain't giving them about one
3:27
they ain't trading period. In a way I don't blame Dallas.
3:31
I really don't blame Dallas Mavericks for not wanting to
3:33
trade Kyrie Irving. I really don't.
3:35
I really don't for real. I, I, I really don't for real.
3:38
Honestly, man, they are very adamant on not trading Kyrie
3:42
Irving, very Kyrie Irving and I way I don't blame them.
3:46
I really, really don't. I really don't blame them for
3:50
real, man. I see, man.
3:52
Really. I see man.
3:54
Hey, hey, which also shows you, which also shows you also maybe
3:58
LeBron didn't want to play with James Harden.
4:00
Maybe he wouldn't be on the same team with James Harden, man, for
4:03
real. Maybe that was it.
4:06
I'll deal breaker for him, man for real.
4:08
Honestly, in a way what not I don't blame in a way I don't
4:11
blame him or not for real because hey, both dudes demand
4:15
the ball. Both dudes both dudes command
4:17
attention basically and maybe him and James just just hey,
4:22
class too much for real. Then what do you do?
4:25
And then when it comes to Golden State Warriors, man, HH
4:31
Washington Wizards, Washington Wizards are not does not want to
4:35
trade Anthony Davis. Watch what's not want trade
4:38
Anthony Davis period. They do not want trade Anthony
4:41
Davis and the Davis and but also for them for them to get for the
4:47
trade for Anthony Davis corner state.
4:49
Do we have to give up to be Butler and go say don't want to
4:53
give a Butler for real. Another reason why he probably
4:57
why he didn't go over there honestly, man, for real.
5:01
But hey, even though, even though, even though they both
5:04
got back up playing in Miami, come on now, that's that's
5:08
obvious. You know him and Spoelstra don't
5:10
get along and him and him and all that probably really don't
5:16
really like kind of like we all know he was going down there in
5:19
Miami for real. We all know he was going down
5:22
there. We all knew this, even though it
5:24
would have been nice, it would have been hot Debbie.
5:26
That's he would be damn killed a damn or fruit.
5:29
We all knew he wasn't going to Miami.
5:32
I would need a more age age. I'm just I'm just shocked he
5:35
chokes Philly. I hope he knows what he's doing
5:37
by Julia Philly every 76 years, because depends upon the health
5:41
of Juela B. It depends upon as it really
5:44
depends upon how how good you see it's going to be Julia BI
5:48
think said earlier must have a somewhat healthy season.
5:51
He must we'll talk. He must for real have a somewhat
5:55
healthy season man for them really for their ability to do
5:58
good through and Miami since Miami struck out on struck out
6:04
on LeBron James according to reports, they're trying to grab
6:08
the of DeMar DeRozan, who's a free agent a lot of teams once
6:12
DeMar DeRozan Miami Miami Miami wants him also golden also
6:17
Golden State wants him for real for real man hey hey hey.
6:21
I think I think would be good fit in Miami.
6:24
DeMar DeRozan would be good fit Miami.
6:26
But there's been rumors going around right where cultures have
6:30
course been talked all over, all over right to the other cultures
6:34
to not sign Russell Westbrook that he's unculturable.
6:39
I'll be damn. I mean, I mean, when work gets
6:45
around that you start to be unculturable.
6:48
No one's going to want you. No one's going to want you.
6:50
Another reason why Russell Westbrook is still a free agent
6:54
right now that that that that that the other coaches are
6:58
deemed to be uncoachable for real.
7:01
I mean, damn, Sacramento Kings don't want him back.
7:05
They don't want him back through.
7:07
I guarantee you he's probably Sacramento King just going
7:10
around telling everybody that that that he's uncoachable.
7:14
Who knows some teams who know some team made the same effort
7:18
and take a chance. Some may not for I'll be honest
7:21
with you if if that ends up being the case, if I'm Russell
7:25
Westbrook, I'll go somewhere else.
7:26
I'll go overseas and ball or something through ain't no
7:29
wrong. Ain't no wrong ball overseas.
7:30
Honestly, ain't no wrong with that.
7:32
You make money over there. But but I see Westbrook needs to
7:37
retire. He really does.
7:39
He needs to retire in my personal opinion.
7:44
You're making money on outside basketball, making good money
7:47
outside basketball with your business advantage, everything
7:50
which a a a which is Goodman through.
7:52
I know he wants to get a ring. I know he does, but it's not
7:56
happening. It's not happening.
7:58
Especially when you got coaches going around telling everybody
8:01
that you're uncoachable, actually, you're uncoachable for
8:04
real. And and once you're deemed that,
8:08
no one's going to want you, no one's going to sign.
8:10
Even though there's some teams that could use Russell
8:13
Westbrook, even though he's not seen Russell Westbrook as of
8:15
old, but he could still produce on the court for real.
8:19
He still can, but you got a lot of teams shout out to a it's
8:23
going around. You're going to run it.
8:24
You're unculturable. No, no one's going to a no one's
8:27
going to sign you man for real. I see man for real, man.
8:31
No, no one is whatever he going to tell you.
8:33
And that's and that's what for him.
8:36
Also when the also a corner report a corner report the
8:40
corner reports of Cardwell Pope and Grizzlies have agreed to a
8:44
buyout and there's been reports that he plans to sign a one year
8:47
deal. When you're deal with with 76ers
8:51
again, good pick up 76ers you get another good play when I'm
8:54
coming off coming off the bench for real.
8:56
We come out come out the bench, which is which is which is
8:59
really really good. We're really good at much
9:01
difficult, especially for 76ers man.
9:04
Like I said, hey, I like Philly. Hey, Philly is good.
9:07
Philly is good, but it depends what you want to be.
9:09
I still like my next go all the way this year.
9:12
I select my next I I I still like my New York Knicks.
9:16
I really what do you do? I really what do you do?
9:18
But hey, hey, it's going to be, it's going to be 1 competitive
9:22
season this year, man. I got to say if you want
9:24
competitive season this year, I got seen Easter conference.
9:27
A lot of teams have gotten better, some have gotten worse.
9:32
So it's gotten worse. Only team I got to say I'm
9:35
unclear about is Boston. It's part of something I'm
9:38
unclear about because I still, I still say this.
9:41
Even though people may be saying this, I still say this.
9:43
What in God's name was you thinking traded Jaden Brown
9:48
especially, especially the Philly, and you got Paul George,
9:52
Paul George. I mean, Oh my God.
9:55
I mean, this is basically so far, the starting five basically
9:58
went out for the Boston Celtics. You got Pritchard, you got
10:01
White, Paul, George Tatum, and you got Mitchell Robinson.
10:05
I like Mitchell Robinson, former New York Knicks player, new
10:08
player, but he's not a starter. He's personally can come off the
10:12
bench. Mitchell Robinson just like Joel
10:15
Embiid gets injured a lot. Trust me, y'all going to find
10:19
that out. Y'all going to find out the
10:20
reason why the Knicks never started Mitchell Robinson never
10:23
did. We never did.
10:25
We always had to come off the bench for come off the bench for
10:27
Cat for real, for real. He's not a starter because he
10:32
gets injured a lot. But hey boss about to find out,
10:35
especially with Paul George, man, Hey, yes, Paul George has
10:38
some somewhat of a good season, even though he was suspended for
10:41
a while. But when he came back for that
10:43
suspension, he was born. I give him that.
10:46
I really, really do. I really do.
10:49
But I must say this, but the dudes injury prone for real.
10:54
I mean, boss, I'm going to say is if Boston don't have a better
10:58
season than this past season, it's going to still a failure.
11:01
Everybody, everybody's going to say why do you why do you trade
11:04
Jenny Brown? Why do you why do you trade him?
11:08
Especially if Jenny Brown has one hell of a season with
11:12
Philly. If he has what happened city
11:14
with Philly? Oh my God, boss going to look
11:16
like boss going to look like idiots.
11:19
Complete idiots for real. Honesty, man, complete stupid.
11:23
Complete freaking idiots, man. Complete idiots, man.
11:26
For real. I mean damn every damn Hey, hey,
11:30
even Miami looked good. This Miami started fighting.
11:33
Miami got Mitchell, they got Hardaway Junior, they got
11:36
Wiggins, they got under the coupole and you get in a bio.
11:39
Only thing about the Miami Heat is who are you going to have
11:42
come off the bench? You got good starting five this
11:44
35, but who are you going to have come off the bench man?
11:47
For real, Honestly, who are you going to have to come off the
11:49
bench? That's the only thing we're
11:50
saying about everything about Miami Heat.
11:52
But knowing Pat Riley and and the coachman, you're going to
11:56
find somebody, man. I'll find somebody for the G
11:58
League somewhere. Somebody know where you are,
12:00
man. For one thing I say about them,
12:02
they're good at finding diamonds in a rough I I do.
12:05
So I would say that they were really good at doing that, man.
12:08
And Poultra is a damn good coach, a damn, damn damn good
12:11
coach, man. If you listen to him, you're
12:15
going to get better, honestly, you're going to get better.
12:17
Real talk for real, man. But for real man, Hey, I'm it
12:22
says yeah, yeah, yeah, the EE got better, E got better.
12:25
I got to say, overall the East they get better E to tough.
12:28
All these team I'm concerned about right now is the Detroit
12:32
Pistons, man is is is is is the Detroit pitchers make it right
12:36
now. You have a problem with what not
12:38
with Jenna Duran. He wants a Max five year
12:41
$287,000,000. But the Pistons don't want to
12:45
give it to him for one reason because of his poor play during
12:49
the playoffs. And the way I don't blame him.
12:52
You had damn good redness season, damn good redness
12:54
season. But you but you had a poor but
12:57
you played in the playoffs was poor was poor.
13:00
I mean damn, he was like there were to be found during the
13:03
playoffs. Real shit.
13:05
Basically he wants more money than Victor women Yama.
13:08
I mean damn each well more money than Victor women Yama.
13:13
Victor women Yama led his team to the finals even though they
13:17
got big NBA Finals blue double digit lead in every single game.
13:22
They blew it, yes, but that's the best way for another time.
13:26
For real. So every other time, but still
13:28
with the whippy Yama LED his team to the finals.
13:31
He deserved. He's your his money.
13:33
He deserve to get more than he got, but he's your his money.
13:35
He what he does Jalen Duran no, then you you didn't got any make
13:41
up the first round at the first round.
13:45
I mean, damn you. You want five years 287 the hell
13:49
no, I don't believe this is I don't believe because this is
13:52
let me say hell no, you don't deserve it.
13:54
You don't you don't, especially especially with more than victor
13:58
with the Yamaha. No, you don't deserve it, Man
14:00
for real. I see man for real.
14:03
Hey, both sides, both sides going back and forth back and
14:08
forth. Eventually when that a Jay Duran
14:10
probably go out to accept basically what the money the
14:13
money is going to get in there for real.
14:14
But also, Speaking of money, the New York Knicks going to have a
14:18
problem because come August 4th, Carl Anthony Towns and Josh Hart
14:26
are eligible for extensions. There's been reports that Josh
14:30
Hart is willing to take a more, a more favorable deal, basically
14:34
to save the mix of money. I applauded for that.
14:37
What's being nicked? But Karl Anthony Towns, who just
14:43
reports that he wants that he wants 300 mil, that he wants 300
14:48
mil, he wants 300 mil or more. I'm dying.
14:52
I'm dying to find out what's going to happen, what's going to
14:55
happen for real because I believe, I believe it.
14:57
I mistake it at the end, at the end of this upcoming season, and
15:01
it says that he has a player option.
15:02
If you take that player out, that's 6 to $1 million.
15:05
He ain't going to do that. He can do that.
15:07
Hell no, Hell no, Hell no. I had to feel it.
15:10
If he doesn't get his extension, he's going to opt out of that
15:12
player option and become a free agent and the decision and it's
15:17
easier in the season for real. And then he is in the next next
15:21
dilemma next offseason. You got Jen Bronson do what not
15:27
for extension now Jen Bronson took a pay cut back at 24.
15:31
He he took a pick up before he did he did the next one
15:35
championship and everything cool.
15:37
But he's not going to do it again.
15:39
He could do it again. He didn't do it again.
15:40
He's going to want his money. Jim Bruns going to want his
15:44
money. But my thing is this I know
15:46
we're going to keep Josh Hart, which is good because Josh they
15:49
weren't able to do but or we're going to be able to keep both
15:53
Brunson and and constantly towns this year, this year, this year
15:59
comes is Carlton towns and it's heart, heart, heart, heart want
16:05
to be favorable, cool, but cat man cat and no cat, no Katt
16:13
Williams, then quality towns man.
16:16
He want his money. He want his money.
16:19
He's he's gonna want his money. I doubt if he takes a pick up.
16:22
I highly doubt it. Trust me.
16:24
I hardly doubt that man. Because it is is is is what you
16:27
can pick up for real. I know I'll admit what James
16:31
Dolan and the president of New York Knicks don't want to go
16:34
over that second apron, don't want to live teams this year
16:38
that teams don't allow teams are doing their best not to go over
16:41
that second apron. And you got a lot of players
16:44
that players, you got a lot of players who hate that.
16:46
Hey, I blame y'all stupidity for that.
16:48
I blame y'all whenever sign that contract, when I decide that
16:52
deal, when I blame y'all, blame you, your president, for real
16:56
blame you your president. But hey, I'm hoping my next key
17:00
key, key key. Carter Towns, Josh Hart and
17:04
Brunson. But I won't be surprised if one
17:07
of them don't. One of them ain't there.
17:09
What are they there? I'll be surprised if one of them
17:12
is not there. And you know, it was about to
17:14
say three years. I won't be surprised forever
17:18
because trust me, brunch is brunch is not going to take
17:20
another pay cut. He's not Katt Williams.
17:23
I'll hardly doubt it. Kat Williams, man, for o'carley
17:25
times, I'll hardly, hardly doubt it If he takes a damn pick, I'll
17:28
hardly doubt it, man. Honestly, man, I hardly doubt
17:30
it. So I'm going to say this year,
17:32
this year, this year, coming up, man Nixon, I hope this can't
17:36
repeat, man. This can't repeat, man.
17:38
Because hey, this old season, old season, man, Hey, hey, yeah,
17:46
As you can see, we're not. We see with that Mitch Robinson
17:48
gone, another player, another player gone, man for real.
17:52
Because hey, we want to go with that second apron man for real,
17:56
real second apron man for real. So we might run into the same
17:59
exact same as that thing during the season, during the season
18:03
and during the next offseason, might see more players you like
18:07
go more players like go for real, for real.
18:10
Honestly, man, for real, for because again, that's second
18:13
April, which I which I fucking hate, but hey, it's dead.
18:18
It's dead man for real, man. Hey, I know this man, even even
18:21
even even even one if I take another 25 years with another
18:25
one, he's like to say out live to see us win one a lot of his
18:30
one one. I want to win many more, but but
18:34
because of the second apron shit, well, not it's going to be
18:36
hard. It's going to be hard, hard for
18:38
the New York Knicks to keep players.
18:41
It's going to be really hard for real, honestly, man.
18:43
But hey, again, hey, again. Hey, hey, if I can't wait for
18:49
regular season, we'll find out, man, for real, man.
18:52
It's it's it's, it's eventually come August, man.
18:55
How much is August when Cat is eligible, man, for real.
18:59
Even though, if I can work out during the season, man,
19:01
hopefully during the season, Nick's figured out.
19:03
Nick's figured out man for real and hopefully he does take a pay
19:07
cut man and we want to stay. Hopefully he does, but I doubt
19:09
it. But at least we know Josh are
19:10
this man for real. Also switch it gets here to
19:13
baseball man for real. I mean just right here sucks for
19:16
the Yankees man. You got Aaron Judge.
19:21
He's hurt Aaron Judge, he's hurt.
19:24
There's no timetable for his for his return.
19:27
There is none now. Now the Yankees got Cody Bunger.
19:32
He actually answered his game. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
19:35
With a hamstring. Excuse me?
19:36
With a hamstring injury. Hamstring injury.
19:39
Who know? Who knows when he's coming back.
19:45
Hamstring injury. I mean, damn.
19:48
Excuse me. Sorry, y'all.
19:50
Yankees can't afford to be losing people, man, for real.
19:52
Yankees can't be losing people right now.
19:55
Right now you're still behind the Tampa Bay Rays.
19:58
