• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Is it Colfax like the longest street in America or
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: something like that?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: What is I'm not sure if it's west of the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Mississippi or in America, But you're exactly right. I remember
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: how being so proud of that as a kid. For
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: some reason. If you jumped on Colfax and it ends
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: in my neck of the woods, but you just you
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: started here and drove east, that sucker just keeps on going. Man, Yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that will go. Yeah, it just returns.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Rolls that Colfax marathon that they run on things, just
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: like a straight line, just like miles gone.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Before you get going. I do have to report this morning,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I made a horrible mistake. I last night, I spent
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the night at my mother's because the siblings were rotating
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: spending the night with her after my father passed, so
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: each of us spends the night every other night. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I rode my my hog down there. Oh no, And
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: on my way back this morning, you know when you
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: ride back at five thirty six of them? Do you
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: know how cold it was this morning? Oh yeah? And
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: what yeah? Yeah?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Now that ring that rain woke me up last night.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: That was how hard it was going. So did you
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: get soaked?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: You get freezing? Right now?
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: You won't catch a cold, bro Wait, no, that's not
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: something that happens though, right, That's one of those myths.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Like my mom always you say your hair's wet, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: don't go outside, you're gonna catch a cold.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: But that's not I know. But the best rain, My
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: favorite rain is the rain you get in the middle
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: of the night like that. I think it's beautiful. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: think when you can hear rain drops while you're sleeping,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: that's awesome and we need them badly, So thank you,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Mother Nature. Hopefully everybody's okay, because I heard the storms
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: were awful.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, they were coming out hard.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: All right. Hey, I was at the Nuggets last night
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and got a chance to listen to both Ben Tenzer
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and John Wallace. Afterwards, we'll get into what they said.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: And I listen the two picks they made, I thought
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: fit the bill. That's what they're looking for. They're looking
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: to get more athletic. They're looking for shop blocking. They
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: got one that Brazil kid man. You know how you
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: watch the high lights and you see a guy playing,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You're like, I didn't know anything about this kid. All right,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: let's let's be honest. There's gonna be a lot of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: people that say, oh, yeah, I know. Brandon Evans, who
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: works at Altitude, is one of our lead sales guys.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: He texted me last night and that said this kid's
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: an athlete, he can play. I knew nothing about him.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I knew about his teammate Acuff, who went in the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: first round. Yeah, but I didn't know about this guy.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: But watching the highlights, that's exactly what the Nuggets need.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, forty two inch vertical brother who just yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: lanky just runs the rim.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That's just what they need.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Do you well? Once again? So I, once again I
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: get way too far over my skis cause last night
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets make two selections in the second round. I
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: go to YouTube, I start watching those highlights. I'm excited
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: about both those guys. I don't even know if Hopkins
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: is going to play, and I don't even know if
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: the guy they selected from Arkansas was gonna play, but
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: it is it does bring a little bit of excitement,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Like it does feel like he is Brazil is somebody
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: who could play that dunker spot right, And if he
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: connects with Joker, maybe all of a sudden, that raw
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: athletic talent. Joker's just throwing lob after lob after lob,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: and he's just going up there and getting them.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know if he's gonna play either, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: it gives you options. I remember when they drafted Ron Holmes,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I immediately shut my eyes and said, okay, he'll be
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: in the rotation. Well he got hurt, he wasn't in
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: the rotation, and when he came back, he still wasn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: in the rotation. So here's another big. And if you
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: think about the bigs that they have on the roster
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: right now, this guy's gonna join the likes of Joker's
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: not going anywhere. Doron Holmes is a big, Aaron Gordon
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: is a big. Zeke Nausey is a big. That's a
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: lot of guys now, yeah, one of those guys. And
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they do moving forward, but they're
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: filling in the back end, is what they're doing. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: you can't have enough of these guys on your bench
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: because you're gonna need him at some point. This guy's
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: gonna need to play. I'm talking about Brazil. I don't
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: know much about the Hopkins kid. You know the thing
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: about college basketball now that I don't understand, And it
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: still freaks me when you say, oh, the kid from
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Arkansas or Hopkins, the kid from Saint John's. Well, Hopkins
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: with the three different schools, So how do we settle
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: on Saint John's right, how do we st John's is
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: the last school? But he transferred three times.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: I thought of you last night when I was watching
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: the second round of the NBA Draft, because I was like, Brother,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I'm glad I'm not Malika, cause every how many picks
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: did she say?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I know it says that the Hawks are making this
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: selection behind me, they says, but it's actually not the Hawks.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: It's actually the Memphis Chrizzlies are making that pick. She
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: did it for. I do believe every second round pick
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: last night was traded at one time. Every single second
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: round pick was traded at once, and one of them
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: vic one pick was traded seven different times to seven
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: different teams before they made that selection.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Brother, Nine of the last ten picks did not belong
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: to the teams that were in those selections. That's just
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: where it is. That's that's what the NBA Draft is.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: The Nuggets for those of you wondering what is the plan?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And yesterday's show we talked about what is the plan.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I was completely I don't know the word disillusioned. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: had no idea what they were doing and what the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: plan was. I got a little more after talking to
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Tenser and John Wallace and a few people last night.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: It's pretty obvious. Now they let me put it to
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you this way. Let me ask you this, Burdo and
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: everybody listening. A year ago in the off season, what
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: did we think about the work of Ben Tenzer and
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: John Walla?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Loved it, celebrated it, celebrate because I didn't think they
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: were gonna be able to get underneath that apron and
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: open up the options that they currently have. Yeah, I loved.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: I was celebrating everything. I was happy about Jonas and
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway and all the moves that they were making.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: And now, my god, we nearly throw a We nearly
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: threw a parade about what they did over the course
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: of two months, and starting now, this next month is
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: going to be critical for the Nuggets.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Do you think do you think, like I still believe
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: that this is the deepest team Last year's is the
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: deepest team the Jokers ever had around them. Do you
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: believe that to be the case?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Well, last year's team, on paper, that roster, on paper
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: was a championship contender, no doubt about it. And that's
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: where the unrest came because they didn't get it done.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: So so I'll tell you the reason I bring that up.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Tenser and Wallace, I thought a year ago looked like
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: they were geniuses. They didn't get dumber. Okay, they didn't
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: get dumber. The roster was built to win. They didn't
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: win for whatever circumstances you want to bring up on
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: this show. If you want to blame injuries, if you
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: want to blame toughness, if you want to blame length,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: if you want, you can blame a lot of things.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: But the roster that was constructed in the offseason last year,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: we all assumed, and we all agreed that was a
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: damn good roster. All right, Fine, those same two guys
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: are back at it again, and the plan this year
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they're stuck. The reason they're stuck is they don't have
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the assets to move around. So what was this year's
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: draft about gaining a couple more of those assets, which
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: is why they moved out of the first round into
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the second. Pick up a couple second round picks. Have
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: those in your back pocket because when trade deadline approaches,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: you know next year, having a couple second round picks
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: is going to come in handy. If you want somebody
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: desperately who can help you with the deadline, they didn't
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: have those picks. They were berefed of picks. They were
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: gone through no fault of their own. It's just the
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: way things happened. So that's what the goal was last night.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I do know that they had their eyes set on
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: perhaps a point guard in the first round, and once
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that guy was off the board, plan B. It was
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: exact exactly what they went through. Plan B was to
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: move into the second round. And here we are.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Do you think because there were there were rumors Yahoo
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Sports is reporting that the Nuggets were trying to trade
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Cam Johnson and the number twenty six pick to move
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: up in the first round. Sure, and that nobody would
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: would bite on that deal. So I mean, how far
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: would do you think that the Nuggets would have moved?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, we talked going from twenty six to sixteen?
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Are we talking ten spots?
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Like question? I don't know. Take a look at the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: list of guards that were taking. Okay, yeah, let me,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I got it right here on the guard and and
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of moving parts are here. Maybe the Stirts kid,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: where was he taken?
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: He was taking sixteen, so that that would be ten spots.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: You move up ten spots and you could have got him, yes,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: maybe him and people and he went to Memphis and
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: people love what Memphis did that mostly because they got Cam,
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: but then they also got your boy from Iowa, the
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: guard from Iowa.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: So I can make a case for le Baron Phylon,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: who went a couple spots before the Nuggets.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: That's a good one because I think you could have
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: moved up to that's only that's only what forespot. You
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: only had to move up forcepots.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: To get him. Okay, So that didn't work for whatever reason.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing we all talk in our business.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: It's all talk, right, just trade this guy or trade
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that guy?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, ye crazy. They're always like I said
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: that yesterday. They're always like, just trade Al Harrington for
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant. I understand what the problem is here. You're like,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: you're delusional, that's that's not.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: The problem is. You have to have a partner that
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: is willing to work with you. So you just who
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: reported that they were trying to trade Cam and the pick? Yeah? Sports, Okay,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: so every team in the NBA knows what the Nuggets
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: intent is. You'd be dumb not to right. They know,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and they still have to clear some cap space to
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: sign Peyton Watson. By the way, good news for the
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Peyton Watson fans. Last night they came out and said it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: They intend on keeping Peyton Watson around a long time.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: That's the intent. Now whether they can get it done
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: remains to be seen, but that's the intent to do that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: They've got to move salary, yeah, because he can't they
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I got to move salary. They still haven't moved that salary. Big.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I'll let me tell you something. I was so pissed
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: off at Bobby Mark's last night on draft coverage because
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: he kept saying he kept saying it, He kept telling
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: teams to put together an offer for Peyton Watson. I'm like,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: shut up, Bobby, what are you doing? Matter of fact,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: he was like he was like begging the La Clippers
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: to get rid of Quiet and give Peyton an offer.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, like, Bobby, shut your mouth. Man, shure
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: j is there? Well, I think a lot of people are.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: But let me ask you, because there has been some
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Nugget fans that are scared that the Nuggets are gonna
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: get Peyton thirty million dollars a year, find a way
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: to give him thirty twenty five a year, something like that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: But he might have a a Christian Brown season where
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Christian signs the big deal and then has an off year.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Peyton signs a big deal and has an off year.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: And if Peyton does that as a big piece of
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: this team next year, then then you're not gonna make
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: the the West Finals again. So I mean, what do
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: you think, I mean, do you think Peyton Watson has
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: where's his ceiling at fort Well?
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I'll tell it to you this way. And I told
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the boys this week, Peyton Watson is twenty three years old.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: You know that he's younger than the two guys they picked.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know Brazil was five years at Arkansas, right,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: So he's twenty three, right. That's crazy, man. Peyton's been
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: in the league three four years, three years, four.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Years, twenty three years old. If I gave you Peyton
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Watson and this year's draft, and I said, go ahead
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: and draft a top five pick.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: He probably ooh, he'd be five, right, he'd be five,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: top five pick.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know where he'd go down. I mean, that's
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: not to me to assess. But I'm just telling you
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at the talent in the top five and
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the talent that he showed you on tape already. See
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: the difference between Peyton and the guys that were picked
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: is he's already proven he could play at a high
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: level in the NBA. He's already proven he could put
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: up thirty plus, he's already proven he can do things defensively.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: So you don't I'm with you on that man. Peyton
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Watson is something they want to They're gonna do whatever
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: they can to keep him around. But who goes right?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: And how did they go right? Now? They have a
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: bunch of six ten dudes and one of them may
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: not stick around. How do you get rid of them?
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: That's where those second round picks come in. That's why
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: they had to do what they did. If you can't
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: move a player because another team doesn't want that player,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: you have to juice it up by giving them something,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: And that something is going to be those second round
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: picks they have in their back pocket are the same
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: second round picks that To be honest, they were reckless
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: with second round picks here going up to this draft,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: giving them away.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Well, I said this yesterday, I'm not sure I after
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: watching the NBA my entire life I'm not sure at
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: this point I know the value of picks anymore.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I don't like, I have no idea. It's like water.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, what is going on with all these
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: because if the Nuggets do this deal, if the Nuggets
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: have to send money out to sign Peyton, what like?
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: So is Jonas gone? Is that ten million dollars.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: For yoa assumption? I think the assumption. And you know, again,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: those a gentlemen were asked about Yonas valentunas they were
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: asked about Jalen Pickett. They're asked about a bunch of
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: bunch of players last night and really didn't offer much
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: back because they can't talk about it and they don't
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: want to show their hand. But I think the reports
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: are out of Yona's valence Seness being offered a spot
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: in Europe. I don't know if the Nuggets are looking
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: to trade Jonas's contract and if that'll help free up
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: some money. But to get Peyton Watson under contract, it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: got to be a big ticket. It's got to be.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: It's gotta be a Cam Johnson deal.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it might be.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: I'm trading Zeke if you if you sent Zeke in
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Yonas valences. Let's say those two contracts that may not
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: be enough.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been million, I think almost twillion something like.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: That may not be enough. Just sign Peyton Watson.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and if you send Cam, that's twenty three
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: million that you can say, So Cam and Cam and
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Jonas is thirty three million combined. But once again, are
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: you moving off if you get rid of Cam, it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: just you're chaining you. You're sending Cam out and putting
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Peyton right into that startup right right there.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Starter.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: So that's what So it goes Jamal Christian, Yeah, uh,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Peyton area.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Running those guys except Peyton. Peyton Watson is getting a
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: lot more minutes and he's not coming off the bench,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: which is gonna put some pressure on the bench rotation.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Who's your bench now? Yeah?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Right, because I mean is Bruce going to be back?
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: As Tim gonna be back?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of questions an get time. That's why Burdo,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: for those listening the draft for the Denver Nuggets this
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: year was a secondary offseason practice. Their work is going
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: to be done here in the next two weeks.

• 17:51
  Speaker 4: American pope, Like people started taking shots at Notre Dame.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Vic you're Alma Mater, man, People just love to take

  Speaker 4: Yeah, you've been dealing with your whole life. People coming
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: for the Irish, coming for Notre Dame.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Were you all right? Vic?
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: The Nuggets made a move. Oh you know what, We're
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: gonna get to the Avs because the Avs made a
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: trade yesterday and they sent out Jack Drey. But I
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: do want to ask you about three NBA quick topics
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: before we head on over it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: That's one.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: The Boston Celtics are still trying to chase trade Jalen Brown.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: They made that clear.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: The Hornets are now trying to trade LaMelo Ball. Did
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: that come from? I don't know. I don't know, man,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And I don't even like, once again, I don't know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Like what's LaMelo ball worth? What would you give up
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: for LaMelo Ball? Like he is a good player, But
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: I like, are you setting out to first for eight?
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: That one confuses me. Man. The Hornets had a renaissance
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: last year. They were fun to watch. That team was
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: really fun. That team came into Denver and I watched
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: them play the Nuggets and run the Nuggets off the court. Yeah,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: later in the season, and I said, that team's gonna
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: be good. They're gonna be really good. I that one
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: confuses me. Not sure why you're messing with that the roster.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I think maybe they think it's Lamello's that because they
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: got the rookie that that great con Ca Nipple, the
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: guy who was just raining threes all season long, and
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: min almost was as good as Cooper Flag could have
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: won the h Brandon Miller, Miiles Bridges. You're right, that's
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: a good team.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I just don't know.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah there, but once again, I have no idea what
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: the value of a LaMelo ball is.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: And he has three years left on his deal.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: It's not well oh sorry, sorry, sorry sorry, vic or
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: that we we got LaMelo just got traded. Oh no,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: he got traded to the Timberwolves. Oh my gosh, holds
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: red hold on, hold on, now, I gotta figure hold on,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: let me see what shamp hold on? Hold on, what
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: is happening here? Why?
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Why are the the Timberwolves getting rid of all their
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: their size? They got rid of Julius Randall and now
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: nos Red.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, Okay, oh okay, Vick, listen to this.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Listen to this.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: So the Hornets are trading LaMelo Ball and Josh Green
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: to the Minnesota Temples. Four nas reed a twenty thirty
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: three unprotected first round pick, three first round pick swaps,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: and three second round picks all for LaMelo Ball. Oh
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Tim Conley? All right, Vick, you tell me what that
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: was all about.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I I and I'm not trying to say this just
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: because Minnesota beat the Nuggets? What are you doing?
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: What do you do?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, that makes no sense to me. They got
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: no sense to me, because Minnesota they.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Just signed Ao, right, I mean they just re upped Ao.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Soon move.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: You have a bunch of guards, Yes, that's like you
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: gotta watch your guards.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: You got Lamello, you got Dante DiVincenzo, you still got Conley.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: They drafted a guard down a duke, they drafted a guard. Yeah,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: they got Terrence.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Shit.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right. You got a bunch of guards. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: then you gotta go Beart who can't shoot? You got
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: rid of a a great power forward to add you
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: already have.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: This is weird?
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Are you doing yeah, what do you think Conley's thinking here?
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: What do you think he's thinking? You know, if something
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: else they're doing.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I shook my head when they brought in Rudy Gobert
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: and gave up all that stuff. Obviously it worked for
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: him though, because they've beaten the Nuggets several times since then.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: It worked. So maybe they just know a lot more
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: than we do on what's next. But that is a
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: lot to give up for LaMelo ball number one. It's
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: a lot to give up number two. Nas Reed. Yeah, yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: you nos. Reed's been nothing but glorious for them.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: You only have now They only have Rudy Gobert and
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Slow Mo. That's it, man, that's their bigs. That's it,
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: And Kylie Anderson and Rudy Gobert, that's it.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: I'm freaking out over that.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Par They've loaded with guards though, But they have to.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: They're gonna send somebody else out right, They got to.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: They gotta get a bit big somewhere in there. They
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: gotta go get a big I mean, I forgot they
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: still got bones too, They got bones, right, they this
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: is wild brother Wild.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: So they gave up. So what if Josh Green doesn't
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: really matter? But LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Minnesota Timberlves for nas Reed, a unprotected first rounder, three
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: first round pick swaps in twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty nine,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: and twenty thirty, and three second round picks. That is
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: a monster haul for LaMelo Okay, yes, does Anthony Edwards
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: and Lambello Ball make? Is that? What kind of backcourt
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: is that?
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know, But if you're a Nuggets fan, this
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: is a win. This is a win for the never
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Nuggets because in my opinion, Minnesota got worse. They got worse,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: and I know they still have money to work with.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Minnesota has a lot of money to work with after
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: unloading the Randall contract. Yeah, so they still have money.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: They can go sign some bigs. But currently I thought
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that nas Reed was simply going to move into the
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: stardan lineup. That's what I thought. He was gonna be
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: a starting lineup guy. Yes, So this is crazy to
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: me that that they're rebooting that entire team. And I
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: think there are a bunch of Nuggets fans that are
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: hoping that the Nuggets reboot a little bit right rebooting
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: of their own. Minnesota looked at their roster in the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: offseason and said this ain't good enough. They're redoing it all.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: This is Crezy doing the whole damn thing. This is crazy.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean yeah, Conley's taken a flamethrower to
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: that team right now.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: And they lost their chief assistant coach, Mikenori, who's now
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: the head coach at Portland. So some major changes for
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the Minnesota Timberwolves. But you know what, listen, Tim Connelly's
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: always been hey, man, if you're not winning this the
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: NBA championship, what are you doing. We're gonna shoot for
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: the NBA title. We tried. We got as far as
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals two years in a row. This
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: year we took a step back. So let's cut it up,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: cut it right open, start again.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: That is I mean, well, you tell me, Isoul, would
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: you suggest the Nuggets make take a swing like not
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: this trade because you're right, this trade is crazy, but
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: something like that. So LaMelo has now been traded. Jalen
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: is still out there. You mentioned Mike andre jb. Bickerstaff,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: the head of the NBA's Coaching Association, came out and
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: just hammered that entire contract about it. But I guess
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: there was more things in Micah's contract. Than I realized
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: that some of his money's based on how well the
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Blazers do next season, So he gets more money if
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: they win more and less money if they lose or something.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: But I mean, everybody likes Mike and Nory. Why did
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: he have to take this job to prove that he
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: can be a head coach.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: In the league. Maybe he's that confident in himself and
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: he sees that Portland roster and says, I can win
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: with these guys. He saw that Portland roster up close
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: a few times in the division. So that's a pretty
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: talented team, A young team that's got some things. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, more stuff's gonna break here. This
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: is again the draft has been pretty boring. Yeah, there
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: was only one deal last night, Isaiah Stewart traded from Detroit.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: But I think the next nine days, with free agency
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: next week, this is where the Nuggets gonna make some changes.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: And I'm curious who else on that Minnesota roster is
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: ripe for the taking, because it looks to me like
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: they are redoing it. They are gonna redo the entire roster. Yeah,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: there were some bigs so they zick Nausey's a big
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I see, I see what you're thinking.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I see what you're thinking. Do you think Conley would
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: do a deal with the Nuggets?
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: If? Like, why not? Chris McFarlane's doing deals with Joe
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Seki constantly.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: They talk all the time, it sounds like, and it
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: seems to be working out for both teams. So yeah,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, boy, I would have loved to get nas Man.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: The Nuggets didn't have like a lamello to give up.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: NOAs if I looked at that Minnesota roster and obviously
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: envy because they beat you, right. Yeah, the one player
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: that I thought was consistently really good and for the
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: last three years, nas Reid has been. He's that guy
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: that Nuggets didn't have. He didn't have that. He was
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: a big off the bench. You contributed right away. He's
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: a former sixth Man of the Year winnering sixth Man
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: of the Year.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and he's young, still so still young.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I need somebody to explain to me why Carolina, Oh,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Charlotte, A lot of activity in that Carolina area.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Why is Charlotte trading LaMelo ball? To begin with? Why
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: did that need to happen? Yeah? That team was on
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: a resurgence, and then if you trade him, why is
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Minnesota taking on? Now think about the two personalities they
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: have in their back court.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right. I hadn't thought about it. That's going
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: to be Crapy court is drunk. That back court is drunk.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: That court is going to be insanity.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: You know how much Anthony Edwards likes to talk. You
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: know how much Lamela likes to talk. I mean, LaMelo
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: got into it with they were in the playoffs this year,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: and he got into it with somebody, right, I mean, yeah,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: you're right. That's that's a crazy backcourt in Minnesota. Now,
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: stupid that court.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Here's what Minnesota has on their team. You've got ioed
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: assumed who you just resigned to, A big number guard,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards, guard LaMelo Ball, guard Dante DiVincenzo, who's out
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: with the he's out another year guard. What are you
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: doing now?
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: You give up You have more guards than you know
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: what to do with, and so in the trade you
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: give up a power forward. None of that and one
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: of I mean yeah, not only that, Nas is a
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: playoff performer. Man, I'd love to have nas read on
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: my team in the playoffs.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: That.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is crazy. Now you got Rudy Gobert and
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Kyle Anderson is your front No, no, no, no, joker's
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: gonna tear that front court down.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Somebody says here on the text line, that's not a
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: lot to give up for LaMelo. It's essentially just LaMelo
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: for a first round in nas Red. Listen. I love
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: LaMelo's game. I just think the LaMelo next to Anthony Edwards,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: it's almost excess that position. I mean, he needs to create.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: He's an artist. LaMelo is like an artist who needs
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: room to create. You give the ball to Anthony Edwards,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: how much creativity will you really have?
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: You're right, is Anthony?
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Is Anthony gonna let LaMelo run the offense?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Or they you know what I mean?
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Are they gonna let LaMelo be the primary ballhander or
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: or his aunt gonna be like no, no, no, no,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: you give me the ball? Like I thought they they
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: signed aoh, I thought they were gonna start Ao, you
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like I thought that was gonna
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: be their new guy there in the back cover. No, no, no,
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: LaMelo ball.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Well, now now we gotta wait till Jalen gets traded
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: because that's definitely gonna happen now. But if you're giving up,
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: if you're giving up what they just gave up for
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: for LaMelo and whatever, the you still gave up three
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: second round picks and the first and all the pick
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: swaps and for for Anthony, I mean, for uh, for LaMelo.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: So that's funny. I keep reading these comments from people, well, oh, well,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I wonder who wins that series? Now, well, the series
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: is over, guys, Minnesota won the series. Is no replay
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: in that series, it doesn't matter. It's over palace. Yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I mean I understand that. Listen, Minnesota is not as
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: good today as it was a month ago. But they're
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: not done, right, that's the thing, right right, they're not done.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: They still have a bunch of money to spend.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they and they although their name was in
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: the LaMelo rumor, their name is also in the Jalen rumors.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Like you don't think they're gonna also get jail? I mean,
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: now we'll see, nah, but would surprise me. The Timberlves
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: are just restructuring their entire squad man, that is what. Also,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: they have so many I mean, go if you need
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: a guard called Minnesota, because they got excess. They will
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: trade you one of those dudes. Man, absolutely insane, although
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Man, dude's doing trades at seven in the morning. He
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: here on a Thursday. Uh So LaMelo's gone. LaMelo's out
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: of Charlotte. And you're right, I kind of like Charlon,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: didn't they Charlotte got super mega red hot at the
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: end of the season, right they did. They started cooking
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: with that lineup.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they may again. It was a renaissance season of
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: sorts for the Hornets, but clearly there's something about LaMelo
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: that they did not like.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: That's interesting.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: So his car a lot, I know that much.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. He's just the worst. He's the worst
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: driver on the plane. He is just terrible. But okay, well,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: I mean the streets of the streets of Minnesota, streets
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: of Saint Paul are not gonna be safe once LaMelo
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: gets there. But there you go.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Ah, that's a that's a.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Confusing deal, just a confusing deal. But you're right. There
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: must be something else to it. There must be this.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: They can't be done. They can't be done, you.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Know, thrown into this and this goes back to the
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: value of second round picks and why the Denver Nuggets
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: had to replenish the tank in second round picks. Three
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: second rounders were in deal. The Timberwolves added three second
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: rounders at the end of this to make this deal happen.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Just now, those aren't just throwing Those are valuable picks now. Yeah,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: So that's why the Nuggets had to do what they
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: do to get second round They had done, they had done.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: They were not judicious enough with those second rounders in
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: the last three years. They just threw them around.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Calvin was kind of loosey goosey with those things,
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: and it is come back to bite you. But you're
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: right if you can just throw in I mean the
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: first round pick swaps, I guess or whatever when you're
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: talking about Charlotte and Minnesota.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna ask you a question. I have
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: a question for all basketball fans. I know we're gonna
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: get into the Avs, but I want you to chew
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: on this question because in the next hour we'll hit it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Now that LaMelo ball is joining forces with Anthony Edwards,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: which team in the NBA has the best backcourt, the
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: best duo, the best combo guard backcourt in the NBA.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: I think there's another team that I would say is
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: better than Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. And we'll debate
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: that coming up in the next hour. Okay, I like it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: I'm here for Are you saying, are you gonnay the Nuggets?
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Is that the Nungs? No, I'm not gonna say the Nuggets.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I got I got one too, I got one.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: How about how about we how about we do this.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Let's take a quick time out. When we come back,

• 32:32
  Speaker 4: some news from around the NFL as well. We'll get
• 32:34

• 32:54
  Speaker 4: twenty something, twenty third, twenty fourth, somewhere in there, twenty
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: fifth and I'm behind a little bit, okay, So we
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: just had a big trade in the NBA as a
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and so
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get more information out of that. Sham's also
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: reporting VIC that Al Horford, the Ageless Wonder, has declined
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: his player option and he's gonna sign a two year,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: fourteen million dollar deal to stay with Golden State. He
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: is forty years old. He becomes just the thirteenth player
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: in NBA history to get to twenty NBA seasons for
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: the record.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Last summer, when the Nuggets are shopping for a backup big, yeah,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: I wanted Al Horford over Jonas.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, I like Alf, like he can still play, right,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: I thought he was a.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Better fit here for what they needed. But he obviously
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: wanted a different role. He want that ten minutes off
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: the bench roll.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: But I mean, would do you think the nug It's
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: gonna give their back a big more than that next season? Like,
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know will they will they allow Joker to
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: play less.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Minutes next might have to reinvent the way they play. Hey,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: I I know the the the Avs have to reinvent
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: some stuff because this was the deepest team up the middle,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and Moser always talks about that man, there's no team
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: that's up the middle deep. Well, they took their fourth
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: line center and just traded them to the Nashville Avalanche.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Is that we're gonna call Nashville now? Man?
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I asked that just a little while ago, Like how
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: often do you think Chris McFarlane and Joe Sacke have talked?
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: What else you got?
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: So?
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: Like Jack Drury is a really is Everybody likes him.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: He's a really good teammate, and he's a really good center.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: But the the Avs depth is so good that their
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: fourth line center can play third or second line center
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: for another team. Like he's gonna be Nashville's third or
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: second line center and Nashville is gonna pay him like
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: a second or third line center and the Avs could
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: so So here's so let me ask you this, vig.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: So they make a deal, They send out Jack Drury,
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: they get back two young, twenty three year old players,
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: former first round draft picks In Freskov and Zachary Lavou
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Lavu LaRue, excuse me, Zachary LaRue. Now, Shretzkov is a center.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Can't play fourth line center for the Avs or or
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: or play down in the A. Now Laruvic LaRue. LaRue
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: is a nasty dude. He and I mean that in
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: the best possible way. He is a nasty, mean guy,
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: good who has a serious edge to him. Like I'm
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: not just talking about like a guy who'll beat you.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about a guy who will get suspended because
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: he's got that kind of edge to him, you know
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: what I mean. So yeah, like I mean, is that
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: what you're looking for? If is that you're looking for,
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: This is the kind of guy that every other team
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: in the league hates and your family loves.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: That's the kind of player I love in sport. Yeah,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: my favorite kind of player, I guess.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: So Schwetzkov has a really high ceiling. He could be,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: he could be somebody, he could turn into somebody.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: And LaRue has a really high ceiling too. But also
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: he's just nasty.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: He's just mean man. Well, I mean mean nasty whatever
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: it takes to win. I mean, I love that attitude.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I think every player should have a player like that.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Every team, I'm sorry, should have a player like that
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: in any sport.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: So honestly, so, yeah, the ABS got got a little
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: bit younger, they got a little bit cheaper, and I
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: bet you, I'm sure they still have moves to make.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: You know what, they have seven million to work with
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: before the deal. They clearly they have things in mind.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: They clearly want to bring a couple of other defensemen
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: in in town, and that's going to cost money down
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: the line, Kle mccarr is gonna cost money. These are
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: things that now they're in the same situation the Nuggets
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: are in, and money is part of the deal here,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: and they have to clear room. They have to clear
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: cap space and say what you want about See. I
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: like Jack drewy. I thought he was Yeah, I liked
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: him a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But that's a luxury
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: item on this team, right, It's a luxury item that
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: you can part with and still play at a certain level. Yeah.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know what Jack's gonna get, but you can't
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: be paying a fourth line center the millions that he's
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: gonna get, even though, like, yes, everybody likes Jack, he's
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: a really good player and he's a really good teammate.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: But yeah, you can't be you can't be making you
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: can't you can't.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Pay that fourth line center.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Now, Uh, well that's a good question. It could be
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Shretchkov the guy that you just traded for because he
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: is a center, or you go down to the a
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: and uh, grab a man, that's a good question. I
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: don't even know who your fourth line center is gonna be,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: if it's not Shreshkov, or if there's somebody down there
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: with the Eagles that you can grab. Do you think, like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: how different is Joe Sackett gonna.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I think he's adding he's gonna add some sandpaper to
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: this roster.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: You think so, you think that's what But once again,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: me and Nelly were talking about an hour ago, the
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: problem with the way the Aves slipped on the banana
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: peel and crashed out of the playoffs is is like
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: there is no one, even hockey experts, can't watch that
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: series and point to one particular reason why the Avs
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: got smoked. So you can't just say, well, listen, man,
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: it was. It was brock And or Marty or whoever
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: it is. You can't just point to one thing and
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: say all we have to do is fix that and
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: we're fine. Not everybody played bad in that I mean
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: that was everybody crashed out in that series. So you
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: can't it's hard to give one particular reason other than well,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: you know, everybody played bad, So I almost put more
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: more of the blame on your best players because in
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: a game in a Western Conference finals, your best players
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: have to be your best players, and for the Avs
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: they were not.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: No, And the dynamic now between McFarland and Pachic is
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: funny to me because in the back of my mind,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: you're thinking, who's getting the best of whom? Yeah, Like,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: what's happening here? Yeah? Is is somebody in another guy's
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: here saying hey, you know, take this guy? Or is
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: another guy Hey, I'll take that guy. Like Who's who's
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: winning these little deals here?
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Like it feels like so it was the first deal
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: with was Ross Colton, Right, was it Ross? Where McFarland's like,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I love him, let's bring him in. Yeah, And I
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: bet you he already knew as soon as he accepted
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: the Nashville job. He was like, I couldn't pay Jack Jury.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I know, they can't pay Jack Jury. They don't want
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: to pay him what I could pay him, So let
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: me call it side. Yeah, he was driving the car here,
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: so he knows exactly who you go after. Yes, he
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: knew exactly. He was like, yeah, we're not gonna be
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: paid to be able to pay Drury what he wants.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: So let me let me call Colorado and try to
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: get him so it's all worked out. But I don't
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: mean vic is is do you think anybody else is
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: gonna go?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Is anybody?
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: I mean? Are they gonna send Val out?
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Or you know? Are you have difference between the Nuggets
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: and the Abs? Is this? And tell me if you
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: were on the same page, if you told me run
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: it back with both franchises, and in cluarly, the Abs
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: are not going to run it back. They've already rid
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: themselves with two players role players. I would be more
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: comfortable in the Avalanche roster running it back because I
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: really think that things the way they unfold it. You
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: can make a couple of little tweaks and I can
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: play that series ten times over. They're not gonna get
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: swept ten times over. It's not gonna happen that way.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: It's just not I really believe that. Some of you
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: may think otherwise, but I believe that this team, this
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: roster is good enough, it's good enough to run it back.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: So do I don't know if you feel the same way. Yes, No,
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel the same way. I mean, listen,
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: I love to hit the panic button because I overreact
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: to everything because I'm a prisoner at the moment, and
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: after you lose four straight to a team and that
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: I hate, I get kind of freaked out. Un let's say,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: let's blow it up. But me and Ella were having
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: this conversation when we were talking about vibe checks for
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: the four major teams here in the city. And you
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: know what, you know who's fourth place on the vibe
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: check and it's the Nuggets. It's Nuggets. Because I got
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: I got. I feel really good about what the Broncos
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: are doing. I feel pretty good about what the Abs
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: are doing. Listen, the Rockies are still the worst team
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: in Major League Baseball again, but they you know what
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, like they at least there's hope. At least
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: there's a little bit of hope. And I just I
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: just can't wrap my head around losing to Minnesota without
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: what three of their best players winning two games in
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: the first round of the NBA Playoffs. That's that's a
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: failure of.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: You know what.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: Everybody keeps talking to Joker, and Joker just you know,
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: he he just spits the truth. He just tells you,
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: He's like, no, we just weren'tn't We weren't good enough.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: We're not good enough. We're not good enough. And if
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: you if you're John Wallace with Ben Tenzer or Josh
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: Cronky and you hear Nicole O could say we're not
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: good enough. And this is the like the four teams,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: I just mentioned that the vibe checks, the greatest player
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: is playing for the Nuggets of all, you know what
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: I mean? Like, the best basketball player is playing for
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets. So why are the vibes so off?
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: What do you do?
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: How do you dress that? How do I mean when
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: you hear jokers say what he says? And he said
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: it more than once now he said right after the
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: playoffs ended, and then he said it when he was
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: talking with the Serbian team just this week. What do
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: you if you hear that and your Ben Tender and
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: John Wallace, what do you think?
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Well? I think when you don't arrive at expectations, whatever
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: those expectations might be, you're always disappointed. Some teams expectations
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: are just to make the playoffs. Others are to win
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: a playoff series. The Nuggets had the highest expectations you
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: can possibly have with this roster. The expectations were simple
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: a year ago, when we looked at this team on paper,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: we said, this is a championship team. It's a championship
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: team that's going to play in the NBA Finals. Well,
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: they finished woefully short of those expectations. Mark, Yeah, that's why.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: That's why, I mean, I don't understand why people in
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: even in the Nuggets organization, why anyone would be surprised
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: that they're catching heat over any moves that were made,
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: or you lost in the first round. That's woefully short
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: of expectations. And those are expectations.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Set by your own players, coaches.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Team, Those were your expectations as well. That's why it's
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: pretty simple. The Rockies, Like I'll take the Rockies for example,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: what were their expectations going into the season.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, just don't be the worst team in the history at.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Baseball likes again, right, yes, yes, well you know they're
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: getting there, right, They're getting there? Yeah? Yeah, at least
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: that's how I view sports. That's how I look at sports.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: And again, everyone's expectations are different. But for the Avs
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: and the Nuggets, we expected parades.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: Manh it's Tyler nothing and it will be again next year?
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Is that is that wrong? Is it? No? Is it overboard?
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know, No, dude, I mean, wait, like both
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: of us love the Nuggets, both of us work for
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets. Do you think we're are we looking at
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: this issue through nugget colored glasses?
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Like? Do you?
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, are we too positive on the roster that
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets have? Because you're right? I mean, what are
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: they won fifty four games last year? I think it
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: was fifty four that they won last year and they
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: get bounced in the first round. They win just two
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: playoff games against Minnesota, timber littles team that you know
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: was banged up and beat up.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: What so, what.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: Do you think like my love of Joker and my
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: love of Jamal and Aaron because they brought the first
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: title to this team, do you think that is blinding
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: me and the Nuggets staff to what they really need
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: to do, which is kind of do what Minnesota's kind
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: of doing right now and just.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: The toughest thing to do in sports is to say
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: goodbye to those who gave you something you've never gotten. Hey,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: nas Reed can never say this. He didn't give Minnesota championship. No, no,
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: he did not Julius Randall can't say. Guess what, Anthony
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Edwards can't say. They're not a player on that roster
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: over there who was involved in a parade, right, Nuggets were.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: So it's a little different in it. So people say, oh,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: look at Minnesota's being really aggressive, Well, guess what I'd
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: be aggressive too if you the best you got is
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: a Western Conference final. Right.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: The Timbwolves have never been to the NBA Finals in history, right,
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: and the team.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Is they've never even been there, let alone won there. Yeah, yeah,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: so it's different. It's different, dude, it just is.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: Right, But don't I mean, are there any Nugget players
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: you believe are coasting on their title? Like one that
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: got to the top of the mountain said I made it, man,
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: I made it, and then kind of it's coasting, yes.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: And I think it's just human reaction. And I'm not
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: saying I'm not going to accuse anyone of coasting. You
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: saw it in that first round series, they didn't seem
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: as hungry as Minnesota. It seem as hungry. Now maybe
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: they were just from the naked eye, they didn't seem
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: as hungry. Maybe to the playoffs bro the way, like
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask this question last night to everybody
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: watching the NBA Finals, hell, watching the NHL, the Stanley
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Cup Finals. What did those teams have that your team
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: did not?
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: Had that dog in him, had that fight, had it
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: man battle?
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: That's it. And last night when John Wallace was asked
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: about the two acquisitions, the two draft picks, the thing
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: he mentioned is we wanted to be tougher, tougher. He's right,
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: they do need to be tougher.
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: I feel like it for someone like you who loves ball,
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: the way the Nuggets lost in the first round had
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: to be I mean, you had to hurt your soul,
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: that edited your heart, because what happened was the Minnesota
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: timbulves called you punks and you did nothing about it.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: You did nothing about you took it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: I heard you talking in the appetizer hour, and Avalanche
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: fans are obviously disenchanted as well because you got swept
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: bies and getting swept is never fun. Sucks. But when
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: the Nuggets lost the way they did, I feel like
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: a piece was taken away, like a piece of your soul,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: because they challenged your manhood publicly and took it.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, something I never thought i'd see mark Stone.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Mark Stone did not go in front of the cameras
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: and say yeah, no, that blue line is soft, we
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: can skate right by. He didn't say that, right, He
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: didn't say that yeah, but J McDaniels did, and you folded.
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: They called you.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: That bothers me more than anything that took place in
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: the series. And I know rational human beings will say
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: to me, well, you can't get emotional. You can't win
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: on emotion. But that's the part of sports I love most.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: That's what sports is.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Sports is emotion. Sports is everything that you want. It
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: is the highs and the lows. And if you can't
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: get emotionally fired up, when somebody calls you weak and soft,
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: why are we playing?
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're fat? If yeah, it almost felt like they
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: were fat and happy, and it was just like whatever, No, No,
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: you got called out and you didn't answer the bell,
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: you didn't show up, you got knocked down and you
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: didn't get back up, and it's.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Am I off on that. I'm speaking to everybody listening
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: here because I hear coaches, executives, everybody in sports say,
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: you know, don't get too emotional, play your game. But
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: when you get called out, all bets are off. Yeah,
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: screw that.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta step up. Somebody bows up and
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: you got it.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, you won't be surprised by
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: this berdo when when I was at Notre Dame, we
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: had this this this big basketball tournament called Bookstore Basketball.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: It's the largest five on five UH tournament in the world.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Over a thousand teams playing right, and it's big. It's
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: a big deal. It's the biggest thing on campus. And
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: you you work all year to play in this tournament.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, teams get serious. My senior year, I
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: was voted the most hated man in Bookstore. I hated.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: They actually have an award for that.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: You were Dylan the villain at Notre Dame. You were
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: you were that guy where you just love it. I
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: love it.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: I love to be hated.

  Speaker 4: And we need one of those guys on the nugget.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: We need one of those guys.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: Give me five of those guys.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they don't have one of them. They just don't.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: But you, I mean, find me one of those guys.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Vic find me one on every team. Yeah, you can't go.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Can you trade for Jane? I mean Minnesota's wild out
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: right now they're trading everybody. Maybe you go get Jake.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: When when when the Avs won the Cup in twenty two,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: do you remember how hated Noskadri was? Oh yeah, yeah,
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: yeah yeah. Do you remember how hated he was?
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was getting booed while scoring a hat trick

• 50:25
  Speaker 3: a Cup? Oh?
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: No, helped help?
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: Why do people? Why are people afraid of emotion when
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: it comes to that's not hard of it, man.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's the nerd analytic guys who are like, I'm
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: not in it for the.
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: Moment, the analytics crowd. I don't resonate with them because
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: they take emotion out of.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: Sports, and the reason we play sports is for the emotion.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: And nothing more. It's for the emotion.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: I get you, brother, Well, you know what we talked way,
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: we got to take a quick time out. We will
• 50:56
