0:01
Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Bring the
0:05
Thunder Podcast. And we have the whole squad here
0:10
today. We have everybody, all five of
0:12
us. It's been a while since we've
0:13
actually gotten everybody on here, but today we got a little
0:17
pretty fun concept for you guys. All five of us have come up with
0:20
our own Thunder related topics, which we will get into as we go
0:24
on. But yeah, we're all going to
0:25
pretty much introduce those and whoever introduces their topic
0:28
gets to kind of break it down South.
0:30
Let's just let's jump right in. We're going to start with
0:32
Landon's topic. So Landon, you can go ahead and
0:35
start us off. Well, the 2025 offseason has
0:39
been a busy offseason, so we're going to go, I'm going to go
0:42
ahead and pick two winners and two losers.
0:47
There's a lot of action in the West this year and I think a
0:51
fairly obvious winner is the Denver Nuggets.
0:55
They traded MPJ in the first round pick to the Nets for Cam
0:58
Johnson, and then they also added more depth, adding Bruce
1:03
Brown, who was on their championship roster when they
1:06
want it all. They added Tim Hardaway junior,
1:09
who's a nice vet to add to that bench, and then they also added
1:13
Jonas, Jonas Valentinez as a backup to Jokic.
1:20
That one's more up in the air. He might go to Greece and play,
1:23
but we'll see. I don't think anything's
1:26
official on that yet, but how do you guys feel?
1:31
Is that a winner? I mean, I absolutely think it
1:34
is. I don't think it's like maybe
1:35
the craziest depth ever, but the fact that it's any depth is more
1:39
than what they had, you know? I mean, when Yokich isn't
1:41
playing, they're one of the worst teams in the entire
1:44
league. And when he's on the court,
1:45
they're incredible. So anything helps.
1:47
So yeah, I I agree with you. Winner.
1:50
Yeah, absolute winner. Definitely a winner by 5.
1:58
All right, well, my second winner is another Western
2:01
Conference team busy offseason for them on the Houston Rockets.
2:08
They got their one option with Kevin Durant trading away Jalen
2:11
Green and Dylan Brooks in a pic that became come on Mal, you
2:14
walk. They did trade younger guy came
2:18
Whitmore to the Wizards, but you never really was able to step
2:22
into a full, full rule for them. They resigned Van Fleet,
2:27
resigned Steven Adams, and then they also brought in Dorian
2:31
Finney Smith from the Lakers, which I thought was really
2:34
interesting. And I think he'll be some, I
2:37
think he'll be a lot of help for them if they go on a run in the
2:41
playoffs because he's more experienced than a lot of the
2:43
other rotation players on their team.
2:47
Fair enough. Makes sense to me.
2:48
I I agree with you. I mean, didn't have to give up
2:51
too much for Katie and getting him on this team now that just
2:54
won 50 games. I mean, you might as well might
2:57
as well count that as a win. So yeah, I'm good with that.
2:59
Winner I actually had them as losers before the Finney Smith
3:02
deal, but now because I thought they lost their, you know, kind
3:06
of their motto, their defense first type of we're going to
3:11
we're going to out strength you, we're going to out muscle you,
3:12
we're going to get in your head. But when you bring in Finney
3:14
Smith now you got that three and D guy just like Brooks.
3:17
So winner. Somewhat of a win of the May,
3:22
but not the biggest one. Fair enough, all.
3:27
Right, but I think I also forgot to mention they added Clint
3:29
Cabella from the Hawks, but I don't think that's super
3:36
significant for losers. I actually have the Lakers as my
3:41
first one. They did add DeAndre Ayton from
3:44
the Trail Blazers. They did add Jake Laravia and I
3:49
do Theo in the draft, but I just don't think that's enough.
3:51
I watched them in the first round.
3:55
There was more issues to be fixed than just getting a
3:57
Sinner. And it's not like Ayton's the
3:59
greatest Sinner in the world. I feel like they could have done
4:03
better and I feel like it just doesn't fill all the holes for
4:07
them. I feel like it's just not
4:08
enough. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense
4:12
to me, really. I do like the choice to go get
4:15
Ayton in my opinion but I agree watching them in that first
4:17
round I mean they were getting so much hype behind.
4:20
And, and, and on top of that, they lost Dorian Phinney Smith
4:24
to the Rockets, so. I I don't like what they've been
4:28
doing, I'll put it that way. Absolute loser.
4:32
DeAndre Aiden mid. The team has not won the solid
4:39
defender on it. The starting lineup has no
4:40
defense whatsoever. Absolute loser.
4:44
I'm going to disagree. I think they're not complete
4:48
losers. Like Ayton's a solid center than
4:52
more people think. He provides a lot of upside.
4:56
He can dunk. He's great in pick and roll,
4:58
pick and pop situations. Can't play defense though.
5:02
They have a defender and I think Jared Vanderbilt, right, so.
5:09
Vando's a pretty solid. Yeah, Vando's solid.
5:11
Like he can fill in for that same role.
5:15
So I think they just were missing a center overall and.
5:18
Yeah, I I'm more with that there here.
5:22
I think the only loser for the Lakers is LeBron for opting into
5:26
his player option and then complaining about not having a
5:29
championship team. So they did as as best as they
5:33
could, I think. Or they, I mean they got a good
5:36
center. Yeah.
5:38
That's not much else, yeah. I do want to say a backcourt of
5:44
Austin Reeves and Luka Donich is atrocious defensively.
5:50
That is, that is, we could. See Reeves being moved mid
5:53
season or something. True.
5:57
Loser. And then my second loser.
6:01
It's not anything they did, they didn't do.
6:03
They didn't really do anything wrong.
6:05
But it's just the Warriors because they've done nothing.
6:07
They're basically running it back with the same team they
6:09
lost. They lost a Sinner in Cavan
6:11
Looney. He signed with the Pelicans.
6:14
They're probably going to lose. Jonathan Kaminga, Steph Curry's
6:18
getting older, the championship windows closing, and I think
6:22
they need more depth. I just don't think the current
6:24
team's enough and they didn't. They haven't really gone out and
6:27
get got anyone. If they do get, if they do
6:31
happen to get Alf Horford, that changes my opinion a bit.
6:34
But as of now, I'm just not a big fan of what they've done
6:37
this offseason. Yeah, I got, I don't have any
6:40
complaints there. I mean, I think there's some
6:42
that in my opinion have lost worse than that.
6:43
But that's just like you said, the fact that they've done
6:46
nothing is not good. So no, I it's just kind of like
6:49
it's the meme of the poker with a stick.
6:51
It's like, come on, they're not doing anything.
6:53
So yeah, I I completely agree with both.
6:55
All four of those teams, especially the Warriors, like
6:59
you said, championship window is closing.
7:01
They have stars, but they're all on the back end of their careers
7:05
and they did absolutely nothing. Yeah.
7:08
You didn't get better, you might have got worse when you lose
7:11
Looney. So loser.
7:15
Fair enough. Well, I mean, we could all go
7:18
through real quick and just give our two winners and two losers
7:21
just really quickly. So savvy, you can go ahead and
7:23
start since you're at the top here.
7:25
Yeah, I would say Thunder are winners and I would say the
7:31
Rockets, same as Landon, are winners as well for obvious
7:35
reasons. For both those teams, I chose
7:39
the Pelicans as losers because they're going to be a bottom 3
7:44
Western Conference team with no pick in the next draft.
7:48
And then the other loser, I guess I would say is Portland.
7:54
They can't really decide on a direction.
7:56
That's a team that doesn't get mentioned in videos at all.
7:59
So I wanted to mention them like you pick up Drew for really no
8:04
reason, you trade away in a high upside point guard and don't
8:08
really get much back for him. So kind of a confusing offseason
8:13
for them. Like they're trying to contend
8:14
similar to the Pelicans but they don't realize they're going to
8:17
be bottom 4 so. Yeah, fair enough.
8:20
I agree with that. Yeah, my first winner I had the
8:24
Atlanta Hawks. I think the Hawks been making
8:26
good moves. I, I like everything that
8:27
they're doing. I'm looking forward to it at
8:29
least watching them giving Trey Young some help finally.
8:32
So I like what they've been doing.
8:33
And then my other winner was the Magic.
8:35
I actually love the Magic, kind of seeing the East opening up
8:38
and making a big trade. They definitely spent a lot, but
8:41
I like the addition of Desmond Bayne and I think they kind of
8:44
just got really aggressive seeing the East was open.
8:46
My losers, the Brooklyn Nets, one of the worst drafts I've
8:48
seen in quite a while. Just a horrendous draft.
8:51
And then I really don't like the choice of trading MPJ or trading
8:55
for MPJ and getting rid of Cam Johnson.
8:57
I I don't like that at all. And my other loser is the
9:00
Chicago Bulls. They are continuing to do
9:03
nothing that helps them at all. And they just lost Lonzo.
9:06
And I know Lonzo's injury prone, but I just don't like what
9:09
they're what they're doing. They still have Fooch and they
9:11
just shouldn't have him anymore. So Bulls fans are still stuck in
9:15
purgatory. So yeah.
9:18
Yeah, I go ahead. Jack.
9:20
Go ahead, Jack. Oh.
9:22
I was just going to say mine, but if you go to comic, go
9:24
crazy. No, no, go ahead.
9:27
Go away. Well, I have the same winners,
9:29
Hawks and magic for the same reasons basically, so I'm not
9:33
going to say much much more about that and then losers.
9:36
I have Warriors because they haven't done anything and then
9:39
Timbals, they lost their best defender and I don't think
9:45
they've made any major moves outside of that.
9:48
And you just come off back-to-back Western Conference
9:51
final losses and then you lose your best offenders, so.
9:56
Yeah, yeah, it's actually one I agree with.
9:59
I'm not going to. I'm going to do 1 winner, one
10:01
loser because I agree with like everybody else on the panel, 1
10:05
winner for me. Oklahoma City Thunder re signed
10:09
Chet, you re signed Chet, you re signed Dub.
10:11
You just won a chip. I think that's a win and a
10:14
loser. Actually.
10:16
I'm not. You guys covered all the losers
10:17
for me. One more winner, I'm going to
10:19
shout them out. The New York Knicks filled out a
10:21
lot of their depth, Jordan Clarkson, Yabaselli, and they
10:26
keep the same starting 5. So I think they're looking
10:30
better with the depth now because they haven't had a bench
10:32
in 45 years. You got it.
10:34
You got them into the coach change 40.
10:36
Five years. Yeah.
10:38
And we'll see about that. All right.
10:41
Well, let's go ahead and move on to our second topic of the day.
10:45
Joe, you are up with your topics.
10:47
Let's hear it. Yeah, my topic is going to be
10:49
ranking your favorite Oklahoma City Thunder team out of the
10:54
2025 team, the 2015 Sixteen team, and then the 2012 team
11:00
originally. You know, it's super easy for me
11:02
to say, oh, my favorite's the championship winner.
11:04
I'm an odd man out. I think I enjoyed watching the
11:10
1516 season and the playoff run better just because this OKC
11:16
team was expected to win this out of me.
11:20
From my from my perspective, I think OKC in 2025 was, you know,
11:26
they were favored in every game they played.
11:28
So they got it done good as they should for 1516.
11:33
I mean, I think beating the Spurs was incredible.
11:36
They only lost like a handful of games at home that season, like
11:40
a handful. And then for them to go in and
11:43
beat the Spurs and 6 was fantastic.
11:49
And then obviously that Warrior series, I mean, it was a good
11:51
series. Obviously they blew it.
11:52
But I mean, again, a 73 team, 73 win team and you take them to
11:58
seven, you win the, you know, three out of the first form.
12:01
That was a great season. And then I'm going to put 2012
12:04
last just because it was probably one of the better
12:11
seasons in Oklahoma City Thunder history.
12:14
But for them to make it to the finals and then just get
12:19
absolutely clobbered by Miami and five the first game they
12:25
won, but then the rest were not so close.
12:28
So I'm I'm in my order, my favorite all time teams
12:32
1516252012. Oh, man, can I, can I hop into
12:43
the conversation real quick, Joe?
12:45
All right, I got to go with 2012 as my favorite, even though I'd
12:52
obviously despise KD probably the most on the panel.
12:56
But for me, like that got me into basketball, that got me
12:59
into watching Russell Westbrook. And I don't know, just the
13:05
passion that I have now comes from that team.
13:08
And then I'm going to go with this past season, this 25 team,
13:13
and then I'm going to go with the 1516 season.
13:18
I still can't get over the heartbreak even after the
13:20
championship so. Yeah, I mean, I could agree with
13:23
that. You can't really go wrong with
13:24
these three teams. These probably are the three
13:25
best teams in Oklahoma City Thunder history.
13:27
Anyway, what kind of another thing that pulls me to 1516 is
13:33
the role players. I have so much love for those
13:35
role players and it's Cantor, one of my favorites.
13:38
I love Dion Waiters. I know a lot of you guys have
13:40
different thoughts on him. Andre Roberson, fantastic
13:44
defender, one of my favorites. So a lot of players on that
13:47
team. I just, I wish they got it done.
13:49
But I, I think I enjoyed watching that season.
13:52
Probably the best. Yeah, I mean, just to give my
13:56
input real quick, I got number one was for me 2025.
14:00
I mean, this was the I've I've been an invested fan my whole
14:03
life, but this year it was like it was determining the outcome
14:07
of my week if we won or lost the game and and that was dangerous,
14:09
but this was a good year to win it all best.
14:12
I mean it, it feels like a default answer, but you know,
14:15
you win that, you win the chip, it's going to be, it's going to
14:17
be one of the best moments. Second, I had 2012 savvy really
14:21
nailed it on the head with saying that was like kind of the
14:24
real beginning of that deep love for for Ross especially.
14:28
I mean, watching, just watching that team, loving Katie at the
14:31
time was just so meaningful. It was, it was so much more than
14:34
just watching a basketball team, you know, and then 2016 in the
14:37
back. It's hard to pick, but it's just
14:40
and to me and I, I get what you're saying, Joe, I, I, I love
14:43
the role players. I, I love all that too, but
14:45
those other two, I mean, comparing it to the team that
14:48
won it all and then the team that really kind of started my,
14:51
my deep love for this team, you know, 16 just ended up in the
14:54
back. Yeah, I mean, I listen, I can
14:58
agree with that too. Another reason why like I can't
15:02
stress this enough and and the way my brain works, the wins
15:07
against San Antonio and Golden State, being underdogs felt.
15:12
I know we want to chip, but they felt so good compared to when we
15:16
lost to Indiana a few times, knowing that we were 10 times
15:19
better. And then when we beat Indiana, I
15:23
was like, OK, it's done. They did it very happy, but it
15:27
should have been done a long time ago.
15:29
That's kind of like another thing.
15:30
I'll definitely give you it for especially San Antonio BD San
15:33
Antonio, it literally felt like we just I mean, it was like
15:36
David versus Goliath felt like we just took down.
15:38
I mean that that was something different, but I don't know, I I
15:41
get what you're saying. It was very frustrating watching
15:43
us drop some of those Pacers games, but the second that Game
15:47
7 was over, it was like, this is what I've been being a sports
15:51
fan for for my entire life. It's like this moment.
15:53
So, but I get what you're saying it, it was really frustrating.
15:56
Not just like taking out that team in four because obviously
16:00
you're like, we're the better team, you know, but that's
16:02
another thing is people aren't respecting that patriots team
16:04
enough. I I understand they weren't like
16:05
loaded, but they were taking down team after team after team.
16:09
Like at some point, it's not just a Cinderella run.
16:11
Like at some point you got to respect them.
16:13
And we, I mean, I, I respected every player on that team and
16:18
like, we should have been winning more, but they were
16:21
tough. They they were definitely tough.
16:23
But yeah, I get what you're saying, Joe.
16:24
One last one last rebuttal by me here is like you mentioned, the
16:27
Spurs can't stress enough. I I said that they had a handful
16:31
of losses at home. The Spurs, they lost one game in
16:35
the regular season at home one and OKC took two in that series.
16:42
So it just meant, like, to be able to do that was incredible.
16:48
I know we won the chip, but like I said, we were supposed to do
16:50
it. So yeah.
16:51
I get you, I get you. I have the 2025 champs up top.
16:57
Sure it was expected expected to some people.
17:01
Sure we were the favorites. But like still 27 games series.
17:05
We were on the edge of our seats for that series.
17:07
I agree with Gabe. I think that Pacers team is
17:10
underlooked. I think they're a talented team.
17:13
I think in the future, if a guy like Nimhard or Matheran get
17:16
shipped off to another team, I could see like a guy like that
17:19
also become rising to the level that Halliburton and Siakam are
17:25
on. And then I have 26, 2015, 2016
17:31
second. I was the happiest guy in the
17:35
world when that Warriors series, when we were up three, one in
17:39
that Warrior series, I thought a championship was coming home to
17:42
OK C And then 2012, I was just too young.
17:47
Like it didn't really hit me as much.
17:49
I wasn't really able to experience it as much as I am
17:52
now that I'm older and actually kind of understand more what is
17:58
happening. And then I have 2019-2020 as
18:01
like an honorable mention. I know that's not one of the
18:03
teams we're going over, but that team, that team was nowhere near
18:08
expected to be as good as they ended up becoming.
18:13
Chris Paul on that team. Dennis Shrewder, Westbrook, The
18:16
three headed monster in the guard spot.
18:19
That was actually a really good shout out 'cause that was.
18:24
If not, that's probably like the 4th best Thunder team ever.
18:26
So great. Great pull right there.
18:31
For me, it's pretty simple. I got this year, 2025, number
18:34
one on my list. I mean, I was neither a Thunder
18:39
fan or old enough to be a Thunder fan when 2012, because I
18:42
was only 5 years old. I started cool.
18:46
I started calling myself a Thunder fan maybe 2013 when
18:49
Steven Adams got there and he really started watching every
18:52
game, like religiously in 2017. So I don't really have much
18:58
connection to these older teams. Sure, I said I was a fan, but
19:03
bit of a bandwagon really. But back then.
19:06
So I got 2025, then 2015 and 2012, in that order.
19:09
Pretty simple. But I mean, Gabe, you said that
19:13
this game seven would have determined your mood for the
19:15
rest of the week. It would have determined my mood
19:17
for the rest of the year. Like, I would not have coped
19:20
with losing that game because, I mean, I got about 30 people who
19:25
had messages ready to send to me telling me, oh, your team sucks
19:28
how how you lost. And I was just so relieved when
19:32
we won. Well, that's a that's another
19:34
great point. And I know we got to wrap this
19:37
segment up. That's another really good
19:38
point. Like the pressure on us this
19:40
year was insane. Like every game was like, if we
19:43
lost, why did we lose that game? We shouldn't have, you know what
19:47
I'm saying? So it's like we didn't have
19:48
that. Even all the way, even all the
19:50
way back to the NBA Cup when we lost to the Bucks, they were on
19:54
us for that. Yeah, absolutely.
19:58
And all I will add as well, Jack, I would say I was more so
20:00
implying that the regular season losses would affect my week.
20:04
If we would have lost in game seven, I probably would have
20:06
never recovered. I don't know if I would be here.
20:08
I'm kidding. But like, seriously though, it
20:12
was just that big and. You kind of mentioned the
20:14
expectations, Joe. Another thing was for Shay, I
20:16
mean, capping off the season with Finals MVP, it literally
20:20
cemented as the greatest season a guard has had that we can even
20:24
remember. So like it was so much more for
20:26
the season for and all the players too.
20:28
That's the other thing. Don't get me wrong, I love the
20:30
2012 and 2016 roster, but the way these guys are together is
20:34
just so like it. It's like the college team, it's
20:37
the AAU teams. That just means a lot.
20:38
But yeah, I mean, if anyone's got something else they want to
20:41
throw in or we can move on to the next one.
20:44
Yeah, let's move on over to the next one.
20:46
Actually, Gabe, I'll ask you this one.
20:50
So now we just ranked the teams. You have your most exciting
20:55
players to watch of all time in Oklahoma City history.
20:59
So let's hear them. Right, so I'll give you guys the
21:01
the pool first. There's there's five here that I
21:04
ranked them from so and obviously this is not the order.
21:06
I'll give you the order, but the pool is J Dub, Paul, George,
21:09
Shay, Russ, and Kevin Durant. I'm go 5 to 1.
21:13
You know, save #1 #5 this hurt put in this here, but it's got
21:20
to be to me, it had to be J Dub. It's just hard because J Dub has
21:23
so much energy and I love watching him play, but he's just
21:27
he's younger than than these guys and it was just more of
21:31
like a I'm growing to love watching him play more.
21:34
But you know, we're we just weren't not compared to the
21:37
nostalgia of these other guys. So #4 this might be too low, but
21:41
I don't care. Is Katie I, I, it was that's
21:45
again, probably too low, but I will not forgive him.
21:48
But watching Kevin Durant play basketball for the Oklahoma City
21:50
Thunder, I mean, you feel like you were on top of the world
21:53
every time you played A-Team. You were like, no one's stopping
21:56
him. Like, we have a guy that just
21:57
can't be stopped. Like he will score.
21:59
And that was, that was a pretty great feeling that I didn't
22:01
think we'd ever have again until shaking around.
22:04
But coming in at #3 for me is Paul George.
22:07
Don't worry Joe, I'm not going any higher than that.
22:10
Paul George is always a player. I loved when we traded for him.
22:13
It was like, it was literally like one of the greatest days of
22:16
my life as a Thunder fan. I was so excited that we got
22:18
Paul George. I love everything about the way
22:20
he played. But then he really elevated his
22:22
game to a new level with us. He became an incredible
22:25
defender, the two way MVP candidate, the deploy candidate.
22:29
I mean, he was just everything you wanted.
22:32
I specifically think of all the different buzzer beaters and
22:34
clutch shots. He would hit the Brooklyn Nets
22:36
game, the Sixers game. I mean, there were so many games
22:39
where he just came and clutched him.
22:40
And Ross as a duo was just electric.
22:42
But yeah, Paul George, number 2 is Shay.
22:47
It was almost #1 but it's got to be #2 Shay once again gave you
22:52
that feeling that you have with Kevin Durant.
22:53
Just a pure score. Love watching him get to his
22:56
spots. But then number one, the man who
22:59
made me love the sport is Russell Westbrook.
23:02
Most electric player ever. I mean, watching this guy play,
23:05
watching him get a motive after a huge dunk, watching him hit a
23:08
three and holster him, I mean, everything about Ross was just
23:12
incredible. So yeah, that that's my list.
23:15
You guys can either just kind of throw in your own thoughts or.
23:18
Whatever. Can I say my list real quick?
23:22
Go ahead. Of most exciting.
23:24
So I've got I. I was writing it on the side
23:27
while you were talking. I got Russ at #1, I got Shay
23:32
Gildus at #2, I got Jalen Williams at #3, and I got Paul
23:38
George at #4 and not my #5 spot. I've got Serge Ibaka.
23:46
Bro, you are so stuck in your ways.
23:48
Man, you are so stuck in your ways.
23:53
It's just a throwback to Kevin Durant on his on a podcast back
23:58
when he was done at the Nets and he forgot.
24:00
As well. Might as well put Xavier Simpson
24:03
on there while you're at it. Am I forgetting somebody?
24:05
Am I forgetting? Man, so stuck.
24:09
Mine. Mine's actually the same as
24:11
yours, Gabe. Of course, of course Shay
24:14
delivered us the championship, but just the way the way
24:18
Westbrook can control us an arena and piss off other teams
24:22
fans, it was something special. And there was also something
24:26
about everybody and their mother hating him that just made you
24:29
love him so much more because it was like the the I specifically
24:33
remember the now I do what I want video of him in the car.
24:36
And I mean the MVPC, like all of that, yes.
24:39
All of that was just like, if you weren't a Thunder fan, you
24:42
were like, oh God, this guy's the worst.
24:44
And all of us were like, this guy's the greatest thing that's
24:46
ever touched this game. Like we were just all over it.
24:49
So Shay will Shay will never pass him I don't think for me.
24:53
But I don't get me wrong Shay is.
24:55
The gap between Shay and PG is giant, so there's a huge gap
25:00
there for sure. The the Dancing with campaign
25:03
also stuck with me a lot. Yeah, yeah.
25:09
Pretty unoriginal. Nope.
25:11
Go ahead, Jack, Go ahead. My bad.
25:14
I mean, I got the same list as well for the same reasons, but
25:20
yeah. I almost put Steven.
25:22
Out you guys have said it all really, but I was curious.
25:24
Maybe not. Being.
25:27
I guess I'll be the one. I mean, I I could be the one to
25:32
disagree here. Gabe knows where I'm going with
25:36
this one. Joe.
25:38
No, no, I mean, I'll, I'll do from 5:00 to 1:00 as well.
25:41
At 5:00, I'll go. Paul, George.
25:44
It's actually the same amount of points that he scored in the
25:47
closeout game in the playoffs, just five every.
25:50
Time. Every single time.
25:52
He's. He's he's fit for me.
25:54
Disgusting. Who else do we have?
25:58
We have KD, Russ, Shay and Jada. All right, all right.
26:01
At at 4:00, I got Jalen Williams super young into his career.
26:07
I think he's going to move up to three very shortly, if not after
26:10
the next season, but just too young to put him above the other
26:15
three guys at 3:00. I'll go KD Savier.
26:20
You mentioned the 2012 team before and now you're just going
26:23
to throw him out the window? He led you there, man, so you
26:25
got to respect it at least a little bit.
26:27
I wasn't talking about the playoff run.
26:29
I was talking about Russell Westbrook.
26:32
But anyway, for me, I got, I'll put KD at 3 ups and downs.
26:37
Obviously he left, but it's been like 10 years, so pretty much
26:41
over and we want to chip. So I'll give him at 3 at 2:00.
26:44
I'm going to go Shay. I think it can change.
26:48
I actually think Shay's the best player on this list.
26:51
But most exciting to watch is the guy that we all have #1
26:56
Russell Westbrook. And the key for me is I grew up
27:03
with Westbrook and I looked up to Russell Westbrook, which Shay
27:06
is like, he's like my age almost.
27:08
So I don't look up to Shay Gilders, you know what I'm
27:10
saying? But as a as a younger guy, you
27:13
could look up to your, you know, favorite players and most
27:16
exciting. And Russ was that for me and I'm
27:18
sure all of you guys. So no, no question.
27:22
Most exciting ever. Russell Westbrook.
27:26
I think it's a great telling that we all have.
27:28
I didn't laugh. That back by Dave I.
27:31
Knew it was coming. Oh my goodness.
27:36
But yeah, 55 Paul George, five points, 5 rating, 5 ranking all
27:42
the same. Yeah, you, you, you said that
27:44
already. But yeah, it it gets less funny
27:47
each time, Joe. Guys, I have AI have a quick
27:52
question kind of on topic with this is I think Shay is going to
27:57
end up being more hated than that Russ MVP season this
28:03
upcoming season because like if we thought like the free throw
28:07
merchant and all this other stuff was bad this season, he
28:10
has a ring now and there's going to be like he's going to be in
28:14
commercials where he's probably fighting back.
28:17
He's already made an Instagram post.
28:19
He's probably going to say stuff during post games.
28:21
He's going to start leaning in to the villain arc.
28:24
We've already seen converse kind of doing that with him.
28:27
So I think he'll move up to 1 like here soon because he's
28:31
going to start leaning into that Russ arc of making videos,
28:36
reacting things like that. So I think that'll help push him
28:40
up the list. The thing with me is like, like
28:45
I said, I think Shay's already the best and I think he's going
28:47
to continue to extend himself as best.
28:51
But like, I'm never going to see Shay go on a fast break against
28:56
the Memphis Grizzlies and absolutely just tomahawk that
28:58
thing and the crowd goes absolutely insane.
29:01
I'll see Shay do a lot of good stuff for OKC, hopefully
29:04
multiple championships, but there's nothing more exciting
29:07
and gets you pumped up than a Russell Westbrook slam dunk.
29:10
And. Then.
29:12
Nothing in. Those world.
29:14
Guys A. Lot of a.
29:16
Lot of your quote UN quote man, a lot of your.
29:17
Quote UN quote villains like your John Marantz, Kevin
29:20
Durants, they try to speak stuff into existence, but then it
29:23
doesn't actually happen. Shay's don't really like that.
29:25
He doesn't do the talk until it actually ends up happening.
29:29
Yeah, that's true. But I do feel like he's going to
29:31
start now that he has one. He can talk anytime because he
29:35
always has that to fall back to. But I was going to say his next
29:39
development, I know Joe's not here, but his next development
29:42
phase is going to be doing the Tomahawks.
29:45
Come on, man. I.
29:47
Don't know man, I. Don't know, it's always going to
29:49
be the floating two hands. It's not all done.
29:53
The one that looks like. Who's done?
29:55
No more rim rattler Shay. I'm going to have to talk to his
29:58
trainer. I got I got him on Instagram.
30:00
I'm going to send him Adm. We got to get Shay dunking.
30:03
Get him, get him, get him working on his legs.
30:05
Yeah, box jumps all summer, Shay.
30:07
No more 3 pointers. I'll tell you this, Savier, if
30:10
he ends up throwing down the Tomahawks, we'll come back to
30:13
this moment. We'll be like Savier calling it,
30:15
but I'll be shocked. I will be shocked.
30:18
Even if he does end up throwing down, we'll be like, man, this
30:21
is a lot like Russ. Nah, it's going to be the.
30:25
Shay Gills, It's Alexander Tomahawk.
30:29
Oh man, that's good. OK, well, let's go ahead and
30:32
move on to this next one. I think we're all pretty excited
30:35
for this one. We got Savier, so go ahead.
30:37
Savier. What's your topic here?
30:39
Oh, my goodness. Again, Joe's not here.
30:42
I'm trying to stall a little bit.
30:44
All right, Perfect, Joe. You missed my other bold take
30:47
before this one, but my bold take for the 2025 season is Shay
30:53
Gilda's Alexander Merits Serious consideration for defensive
30:58
player of the year. So I think because of the fact
31:03
that he has a lot of eyes on him, he's going to be in that
31:07
contention. He's he's already, I think like
31:10
plus 3000 to 5000 according to Vegas odds, which is a long
31:15
stretch for him. But in terms of guard play,
31:17
we've already seen him across multiple seasons average the
31:21
most steals as a guard, most blocks as a guard.
31:24
But similar to his driving impact in the lane, we've also
31:28
seen him start, you know, coming on the weak side to help
31:31
defense. And I think that's the next
31:33
transition in Shay's game is he's going to understand that,
31:37
hey, I don't need to score the 30 plus every seat like every
31:40
single game where it's so easy for him to do the 30 that I
31:45
think once he starts locking in on the defensive end, I think he
31:50
can get the all defensive team honors this upcoming season and
31:54
he's going to turn into a two way true star.
31:57
He's going to be top ten in defensive rating amongst all the
32:00
players. And I think he's going to lead
32:02
the league once against steals and also enter into the probably
32:07
top five in blocks this upcoming season because he has so much
32:11
help defense to do. Because that's kind of the
32:14
position and scheme that Mark puts him into that he has the
32:18
highest capability. And from like a just a
32:21
statistical standpoint to make the biggest impact in that way.
32:26
It won't indicate obviously that he's better than Lou Dort or
32:29
anything like that. But I think the case will be
32:32
better for him because we also saw Lou Dort's numbers start to
32:35
regress with its style of defense, where Lou Dort's role
32:39
now is just limit the best player on the other team.
32:42
And it's not really stat based, whereas Shays is a lot more stat
32:46
based. So I think the case will be
32:48
easier to make. Him being an MVP candidate will
32:52
also help his case. Similar to M JS years, MJ got a
32:55
couple of years of DPOY where he probably he probably couldn't or
33:01
shouldn't have won in some of the seasons.
33:03
So he has a lot of like first team all defense as well.
33:05
So I think for that reason, like the league is searching for
33:10
their next MJ and this narrative is going to start getting pushed
33:14
a little bit more maybe if not this season, the next.
33:17
But I do think like I want to be the first person to start making
33:22
that like noticeable to everyone and like mention it like steals
33:26
and blocks, steals per game, blocks per game, defensive
33:29
rating. His help side impact, his
33:32
ability to switch. He's like a six six guard that's
33:36
able to guard all positions. He's starting to guard centers
33:39
as well in some possessions in small ball line UPS similar to
33:43
like AJ Dub. His on off plus minuses are
33:47
always going to be good because he's always going to be around
33:49
the starting unit. Whereas J Dub can't really get
33:52
that advanced stat because he's sometimes with the second unit.
33:55
So there's a lot of cases from all kind of ends to help his
34:02
case here. But he has 1.5% chance of even
34:06
getting it. And obviously Lou Dort has a
34:09
little bit better chance on the same team, but I think he can
34:13
edge it out as a guard because outside of him, Lou Dort and
34:18
Dyson Daniels, those are probably going to be the three
34:21
front runners as guards for DPOY.
34:22
And I don't really see maybe outside of like if Wemby doesn't
34:28
have a healthy season again or something like that and he
34:30
doesn't meet the requirements for games played.
34:33
I can easily see at the end of the year where they're like, we
34:36
got to find someone. And similar to like Evan Mobley
34:39
getting it, Shagildiz Alexander can get it.
34:43
Can I be the first one here? Go ahead.
34:46
If that is ever right, ever, I will like, let's, let's just
34:53
make it like I'll shave my head, I'll shave, I'll shave
34:56
everything on my body. If that's ever right, I'll be
34:59
scared. I will be hairless from top to
35:01
bottom, top to bottom. I, I like, I like you giving him
35:08
his props. He was fantastic defensively,
35:12
but there's three other guys on the team that will get a DPOI
35:15
Before he would maybe 4, maybe 5.
35:19
Chet Dort, J Dub, Caruso Cason. All better defenders to me but
35:26
you. You.
35:27
You make a good point with the stats cause Shay does get the
35:30
most steals and the most blocks but I don't think that'll ever
35:34
happen and and the hate the hate on Shay it's just not going to
35:38
be allowed to happen. Silver stated that they watch or
35:43
read a lot into social media. Do you think he's going to ever
35:46
let Shay get a DPOY go? Ahead, Landon, I'll rebuttal
35:52
out. I was going to say if I was to
35:54
place my money, if. Today if I was to place money.
35:56
On two guys, it'd be Victor Wimbignama and it would be Amin
35:59
Thompson. That would be my two guys.
36:03
I think you can. Beat out Amin.
36:04
Thompson because I think that team defense is going to be a
36:07
lot less great without Dylan Brooks, and adding KD makes the
36:13
defense worse as well. At his age right now, that's
36:16
just like objectively kind of a fact.
36:19
So I think a men's case is not going to be as good and.
36:23
Maybe they won't. Win as many games as OK CI think
36:26
winning always has a big factor and the fact that one Wimby
36:30
injury led to Evan Mobley getting it as a first seeded
36:33
player when he was in contention with Draymond and Draymond was
36:37
nowhere close and Lou Dort was in that race.
36:39
I think my case for making Shay in there is valid because Evan
36:45
Mobley's already won one. I think he can surpass Lou Dort
36:48
on his own team because of the stats.
36:50
And then this is me counting on the fact that Wimby may not have
36:54
a full season with the Artie. Another.
36:57
Another. Thing that are on JJJ will be.
37:01
Up there too. Jaron Jackson Junior.
37:04
Yeah, but I think. DPO wise become kind of more of
37:07
a casual analyst award where they really don't watch the
37:12
games. Like I've already seen a lot of
37:14
them have commentary on it and all the voters for DPOI really
37:19
look at advanced stats, stats in general, and the one guy I'm
37:23
going to rely on is Shay Gilds Alexander to stuff that stat
37:27
sheet all season long. I agree with that, I just think.
37:30
You're I think you're closer to a all defensive team than a DPOY
37:35
strictly because of the position and the the amount of defective
37:40
on the team. Yeah, I think.
37:43
I want to rebuttal your mention of like Caruso and others that
37:50
are better than him, like defensively, like, yeah, maybe
37:53
they're better one-on-one defenders, whatever.
37:55
But from like a impact standpoint, in the amount of
37:59
light that's about to be shiny on Shay, that's where he has the
38:02
edge because not the media is what really counts for these
38:06
votes. And it is a popular contest.
38:09
So I'm not just saying like Shay's going to be the best
38:11
defensive player on our team. Obviously, I know our team
38:15
really well. I'm not making that case.
38:17
I'm making case for DPOY. No, I can understand that for
38:20
sure. I agree with the point.
38:22
About Lou Dodd as well. Because he, the guys just don't
38:25
even catch the ball when he's defending them.
38:27
They just run to the corner and you know, you got it.
38:30
So he, he'll never have the stats, but we know he's the best
38:34
defender. So yeah, I, I see where you're
38:37
coming from. But yeah, I don't think Crusoe
38:41
plays enough. And then on top of the fact that
38:45
I just don't think they'll give it the check in my opinion on
38:49
this team because his impact is more advanced stats and eye
38:53
test. So the best guy that has the
38:55
best case on the best team is going to be Shay.
38:58
And the only other guy that could do it is possibly J Dub.
39:01
But I think out of off all those players, Shay's been the
39:04
healthiest. So that's another thing that I'm
39:07
looking at between all the other candidates like Evan Nobley and
39:11
Amin Thompson or JJJI, think he can also edge them all out in
39:16
terms of playing 75 games, which helps his case because he's
39:20
going to get more numbers. But that's that's it for my bold
39:25
take. Man, Gabe, I'll turn it back
39:27
over to you. Yeah, I mean, I agree with what
39:31
you. Were I one thing I definitely
39:32
agree with what you were saying was about how it's almost a
39:35
popularity contest at times. That's absolutely true.
39:37
And that's where I can see that kind of like that mode of
39:39
getting pushed for sure I was going to throw.
39:43
In a little a little. Take that I had for next season,
39:47
I think we'll be the first team since the 20/17/2018 Warriors to
39:50
have three players average 20 plus points per game.
39:53
I think Shay is going to average what we know what he'll do, but
39:56
I think J Dubs going to hit around the 24 to 26 mark and I
39:59
think Chet's going to come out very similar to that as too as
40:03
well. I think we're going to be
40:04
incredible next year and just better than we were this year.
40:08
And adding on to that, I also think.
40:10
If we do all this hits and we make the playoffs, I think we
40:13
win the finals, losing less than four games in the whole series.
40:16
So fairly hot there. Just complete dominance.
40:20
But yeah, I I feel like we we're going to be the first team since
40:23
that team to have three guys in the 20 plus points per game
40:25
category. I don't mind.
40:28
That yeah, I mean if yeah, I. Would love that.
40:35
Mine is I think Nikola Tovich makes all Rookie first team.
40:38
I think he's going to be lethal with J Dub in that second unit
40:42
and I think our team compliments his game perfectly, which when
40:48
he's going to have J Dub, Chet or Shay on the floor with him at
40:52
all times and that just compliments his play making
40:55
perfectly. I don't think the Summer
40:57
league's a perfect fit for his game at the moment because he's
41:00
playing with players that aren't as talented.
41:02
A lot of the passes he makes should be assist and I think I
41:07
think stuff's just going to start clicking for him.
41:09
Being on a winning team helps and then he also has the kind of
41:13
has an edge on the current rookies because he had a season
41:17
to sit back and watch a championship team figure out the
41:20
insurance and outs of the organization and I think that
41:23
will work too as benefit. Totally see that.
41:29
Happening. Really want it to happen too.
41:32
My ball take is Aaron Wiggins will be the 5th man on this team
41:39
by the end of the year. So much as a ball take.
41:44
Also, something I really, really want to happen, but I can see it
41:49
happening just depending on how our offense is going.
41:54
Just scoring. He gives.
41:57
I think he deserves it, but we'll see.
41:59
And then I also had a bonus one that AJ will become a 7th or 8th
42:03
man and really be in the rotation.
42:06
I think he'll be the secondary bull handler over Tobitch for
42:12
the next year. In my opinion, I think Tobitch
42:17
won't surpass him in the rotation this year, but I think
42:20
the next year. Thank you all.
42:21
They're underestimating him. Man, I got Topich.
42:24
I'm team Topich. I'm not underestimating.
42:27
I'm just make me make me a shirt team.
42:29
Topich, we'll have to get that on the shirt.
42:32
I'll shout mine out. Real quick, real quick.
42:35
So. We don't run over here.
42:37
Jack kind of led him to mine. I was going to go with one of
42:41
two players. Getting six man of the.
42:43
Year, it's coming out of Oklahoma City.
42:44
Next year it's just going to be Aaron Wiggins, but it's going to
42:46
be Alex Grusso. You can take your pick, but one
42:48
of them will be the Six man of the year.
42:51
That's fair. Jack, I had a quick.
42:52
Question you said 5th man as in like 5th starter.
42:57
Yeah, me and Joe are just. Trying to get this man to. 6th
43:00
man at this point man, I know. I know bro.
43:04
He maybe, maybe. Mark will hear the.
43:06
Podcast and give him a shout. Yeah.
43:08
So if I aim for 5th. And then he drops a bit.
43:11
He'll he'll come to 6th and I'll, I just there you go.
43:13
Don't know how, don't know. Don't know how he's going to
43:16
earn that 5th man spot when during the regular season he
43:18
plays 5 minutes and 10 minutes and 5 minutes again, then 20
43:21
minutes and back down to 3 minutes.
43:24
He'll have to make the. Most out of literally every.
43:25
Single minute just to get even an odd but.
43:30
Yeah, true. Don't get me sided.
43:31
On that. I can talk.
43:34
About it all day. You guess it's on to my topic
43:37
now, right? Yep, here's the last.
43:40
Topic here, so go ahead. So there's a lot of talk.
43:43
About expansion teams, I've seen a lot of salty Seattle fans now
43:46
that we've won like MMA anyway stuff, then what would happen if
43:51
there was an expansion? Seattle gets a history back.
43:56
We don't need it. We've won a chat but we'd have
43:59
to protect eight players Which? 8 Are you guys protecting?
44:05
So the way I'd. Assume it works.
44:06
I'm just going to go the same way as 2K that if if there was
44:13
an expansion draft, you would protect eight players and then
44:18
the expand expansion team can select one of those players.
44:21
So the AI have protected Shay dub chat dot iheart the
44:27
starters. I think that's pretty given for.
44:31
My. Opinion.
44:32
And then I have Wiggins, Cason. Definitely in the top.
44:38
Seven and then the last part I I've had some trouble filling it
44:44
out. I was thinking I'd go with one
44:46
of the the younger either rookies or second years just for
44:49
the upside. So Sorbet Tobich or AJ in the
44:53
end. Yeah, I.
44:56
I'm still a. Little bit undecided, but I'm
44:58
leaning towards Aja little more as just a backup bull handler
45:02
seeing as you have more wings and power forwards.
45:04
But I could understand either Sorbetopic or AJ for that last
45:08
foot. And then I was just going to get
45:10
into the guys who didn't make the cut and a bit why.
45:15
So either Sorbetopic or AJ, the 2 odd men out.
45:20
It's because the other guys, the young guys to come in, who will
45:27
and then Caruso. I think he's.
45:29
Just too odd really. Like you're losing these other
45:32
players. Like Cason could turn into
45:35
something, maybe not fully replace Caruso, but his role can
45:39
increase. Caruso's only really going to
45:42
regress over the next couple of years.
45:44
Joe. I said Joe, it wasn't really.
45:49
In our rotation. Like we can get a better.
45:52
Shooter than him, I think. Jay Will, I don't think he's
45:57
good enough to protect really. He's not the top eight player on
46:01
our team, neither is Django Kenrich.
46:02
So that's that's about it. Any thoughts, comments, or is
46:08
this hypothetical? Is this hypothetical if the
46:11
expansion draft was happening this offseason?
46:14
Yeah, yeah. OK, I mean, I could go into mine
46:19
really quick. First off, I would think it's
46:22
Vegas. I think it's no.
46:24
No doubt Vegas will have a team sooner than later.
46:29
My my top eight. You got to keep the starters,
46:33
Shay Dub, Lou Hartenstein and Chet.
46:37
And then my three off the bench. I'm keeping Aaron Wiggins the
46:40
6th man of the year. Upcoming I'm keeping Alex Caruso
46:46
for a veteran leadership over Cason he's still got.
46:51
Years left on his deal I'm. Keeping crew.
46:53
So he was way too important last year and I still want to win
46:55
again this year and I'm keeping J Will.
47:00
I'm keeping J Will because we need our glue guy.
47:02
He is our glue guy. We need our Jokic stopper.
47:06
Give me J Will 10 times out of 10 you.
47:10
Know I mean ball board for. J will love Joe, so I'm not
47:14
there is a chance that. You need a glue.
47:17
Guy and it's J Will Yeah, but the the chances.
47:21
Of him returning if you don't protect him is still pretty high
47:24
because if they choose one player and then the rest come
47:27
back, you know, I think they choose Isaiah Joe, Alex Caruso,
47:32
Nikola Tovich maybe over J Will. J will I don't hate it though.
47:40
I. Don't hate it, Joe.
47:43
I I can't man. I.
47:46
Was going to say like you Loki have to protect Jason just for
47:52
like his contract, his trade ability, he's a easy guy to sign
47:57
and trade. There's like so many factors
48:00
with him and he's just so good. It's hard to replace him because
48:04
Shay and J Dub are primary ball handlers and they're only going
48:08
to get better over time. Like I'm not always as concerned
48:13
as like having a toe pitcher Aaj on the team.
48:17
Like if I had to protect eight people, I'm probably going to
48:20
protect Sorber so he can come in and be the 8th person so he can
48:25
possibly replace like an expensive contract in
48:28
Hartenstein. The guy I'm not protecting is
48:31
Crusoe due to age and contract size, but everyone else?
48:37
I. I agree with that gay 5
48:43
starters. Obviously that's the easy part.
48:47
My 6th was Wiggins. That one was also a pretty much,
48:50
pretty much lock for me. Then this was where it was tough
48:54
was with these last two. I was really debating between
48:57
Wallace and Caruso. The thing about them is, I mean
49:00
you guys kind of mentioned it. The hope is that Case and
49:03
Wallace can become what Caruso is and he's young as well.
49:07
Caruso on the other hand, brings the veteran experience.
49:10
He brings a lot to the team as well.
49:13
Ultimately, I went with Wallace. My 2K mind took over and I was
49:16
like, got to get the young guy, got to get the young guy, which
49:19
doesn't feel like I don't know it either way, having to protect
49:23
eight players and cut the rest sucks because we just love every
49:25
player on this team. So that really sucks.
49:27
But and then at 8, I'm actually agreeing with Savier.
49:30
I went with Sorber. I have really high hopes for
49:32
Sorber. I I just love everything about
49:35
his game. As soon as we drafted him, I was
49:37
excited and for the same reason with the with the unfortunate
49:43
reality of we are probably going to lose either Dor or Hart at
49:46
some point in the upcoming years because of these contracts, I'm
49:50
going to go with Hart's the one we lose and that's why Sorber's
49:53
here. So having that backup big, he's
49:56
young, crazy wingspan. I love everything about his game
49:59
and he's seems like he's going to be that potential glue guy
50:02
Joe, when he gets older. He's got a lot of personality.
50:04
I could see Sorber becoming a glue guy.
50:08
Hope. So.
50:10
I value winning championships. I value.
50:12
Winning. So I haven't taken the I'm
50:14
taking the players that put me in the best position to win.
50:17
I want to win a championship. I'm taping the I'm taking the
50:19
double big lineup shade, Dort, Dub, Chet Hardenstein, and then
50:24
I'm bringing Caruso Wallace and Wiggins off the bench.
50:27
I want to win basketball games. I want to go win another
50:29
championship. Sure, if we lose one of the
50:31
young guys, Topich, AJ, Sorber, that would really stink, but.
50:38
Fortunate for us, we have about. 20 draft picks to make up for it
50:41
and go get some more young guys. So I'll take my chances of
50:46
trying to go back-to-back and put my team in the best spot to
50:49
go win a championship. And if we lose a young guy, that
50:53
stinks. But thankfully we have the draft
50:55
next year and I think we have up to three first round picks,
50:59
maybe 4. So I think we'll be all right.
51:03
So do you think just. The difference of.
51:05
Having Caruso instead of one of those young guys is what changes
51:08
it from being a championship team, but not a championship
51:10
team because I have. The exact same list as you.
51:13
Except you have Caruso and I had Sorber and you were like, I'm
51:16
about winning, man. Loki.
51:18
I could agree with Landon on that.
51:20
The. Winning Caruso, I think we're
51:23
just good enough that we we win either way.
51:25
Like, as long as you keep that five and build around it like
51:29
they're all good, they're all going to help you win.
51:31
But I want to be in the best. Position to win I.
51:35
Fair. You only get you.
51:36
Can only get so many. Opportunities to win NBA
51:38
championships. I mean, take the Hornets, for
51:41
example. It's been like 50 straight years
51:43
and they haven't won a championship.
51:45
Opportunities like this only come around so much.
51:49
Yeah, I, I, I can agree with that.
51:52
My my thought is you just taking the younger guys makes your
51:54
window bigger. And I know that's what savier
51:56
was kind of thinking too when he was talking about young age.
51:58
I don't. I don't think the window's an.
51:59
Issue We have so many draft picks that losing 1 young guy
52:02
really wouldn't affect us that much.
52:06
Fair enough, fair enough. Fair enough.
52:08
All right, All right. Yeah, I'm going to say well.
52:12
We can go ahead and wrap up there if you guys are good with
52:15
that. Obviously, if you guys have your
52:18
own thoughts on any of these lists, please let us know in the
52:22
comments. We'd love to hear about it just
52:23
to hear you guys thoughts on if maybe someone in particular you
52:27
didn't like their list or maybe you just want to add your own
52:29
list, go ahead and drop it in the comments below.
52:32
But yeah, if anyone's got something they want to drop
52:34
before we leave now just. Again, we just appreciate
52:38
everybody that watches returning listeners, we'd like to hear,
52:45
you know, like any topics that you guys want to see, drop them
52:48
in the comments. We'll make a huge list.
52:50
We'll get to all of them, mostly all of them hopefully.
52:54
And then our J dub extension video just dropped a couple
52:57
minutes ago. So go tune into that.
52:59
We break down the whole extension between dub and then
53:02
how that you know how that's going to work for the next few
53:04
years for the rest of the team. And yeah, man, just that's all I
53:09
got to say. There we go.
53:11
Well, thank you. Guys for listening to the
53:13
episode, make sure you guys TuneIn to the next one and we
53:16
will catch you guys later.
