  Speaker 3: They the ship be sinking Memphis. In my opinion, they're
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the second best team. But okay, see they've never even
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: been healthy. When they get healthy, they already the best
• 1:51

• 2:24
  Speaker 3: joker because he got to carry so much. They got
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: to do something to improve the bench. It's gonna be
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the exact same situation happened him in the playoffs.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Last How would you rank Houston, Denver, Dallas right now?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Houston?

  Speaker 3: We will see how they react. I will say this
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: just to me, and I said this last couple of years.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: It's got to be a bunch of teams and make
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: some trades because Boston, Cleveland and the Knicks, they are
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: head and shoulders above everybody in the East, head and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: shoulders in the West. Can anybody do anything to catch Okay, See,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you're going to make some trades because you're not going
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to beat those three teams in the East because you're
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: going to have to have to probably beat two of them,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and the same thing in the West. Can anybody I
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: do agree with Kenny, Memphis is the second best team
