July, whereby 4th July is I'm going good so far, man for real,
0:10
man. Hey, a lot of things been going
0:12
on in NBA ever since the start phrasing period.
0:15
I was going on LeBron. Hey, hey, Lebron's not umm going
0:19
back to legacy for you from legacy.
0:21
He's he doesn't see you play elsewhere.
0:23
It's elsewhere and everything. My thing is this man, hey,
0:26
Rapalinka is basically the general manager of the Los
0:30
Angeles Lakers. I just hope, I hope he knows
0:34
what he's doing and what he's been doing so far since free
0:39
agent period started. Doesn't come back.
0:41
Come back. Excuse my French.
0:42
Bite him in the ass. Hopefully it don't 1 You didn't,
0:47
did you? You didn't even fight to keep
0:49
LeBron James. You didn't fight to keep him.
0:53
You really didn't. I mean, damn, damn.
0:57
Once LeBron James, once LeBron James was a comeback.
1:01
I guarantee you what not I guarantee you what not rocket
1:05
Smart, rock smart already knew, buddy.
1:07
That's why Marcus Smart said deuces are left that deuces let
1:10
oh, I'm not the pick of my player option.
1:13
He ended up signing with Houston Rockets.
1:16
I mean, I hope he knows what he's doing because he did all
1:21
these moves, all these moves, You know, this was basically he
1:23
signed off and reads, which, which a that, that was expected.
1:26
Can't blame him, but some people something, some people say he
1:29
overpaid something. Some people say he overpaid for
1:32
him. That's what, that's, that's what
1:34
that, that's what some people say.
1:36
Who knows, who knows? You made some a, you make some
1:40
moves, maybe make some moves, make some trades and everything.
1:44
It's crazy everything and, and the way it's looking right now,
1:49
the Lakers have no tradable first round picks for the next 7
1:53
years. You have $475 million tied up,
1:58
$475 million tied up right between Luca Austin Reeves and
2:06
Walker, Walker Kessler. Who you picked up who you I'm
2:11
signed basically, which is a good stand, which we which we
2:15
did this and hopefully it works out what you picked up for real.
2:19
I mean damn you. I mean, I mean this better work
2:25
out. I'll be I'll be excuse me
2:27
French, I'm being I'll be a dead ass.
2:30
This better work out. Then you traded.
2:34
Then you traded DeAndre Ayton to the Washington Wizards for Jaden
2:39
Hardy, which I was Jaden Hardy and at least you got at least
2:43
you got at least you got out of this trade 2 second round picks,
2:47
2 second round picks in 2031 and 2032, which a hey, which is
2:53
good. Plus also you need to get rid of
2:56
DeAndre aid because he didn't work out.
2:59
He didn't work out. He's sorry.
3:00
He's just he just he just eats. He's garbage.
3:04
He's garbage. I don't blame you.
3:05
Well, I'll blame you for trading him.
3:07
I don't blame you. But but you I mean, this is what
3:12
this this this is what he got so far because you for your
3:16
starting five basically is Luca Austin Reeve, Jake Jake Liveria,
3:22
Jake Liveria. I'm saying I apologize my mood
3:25
and Walker Kessler. I mean, the way this A and your
3:30
bench and your bench, basically you got concepts come off the
3:33
bench, Bryan Jays come on the bench quitting Bryan, which he
3:36
is, which he is OK, which he's OK.
3:39
You got Cam car. I do Theo Jared Vanderbilt.
3:45
I mean, this team does not look as strong crazy as last year's
3:49
squad for Las Vegas Lakers. In my personal opinion.
3:52
It really don't. It really don't.
3:56
It really don't. You're lying heavily on Luca
4:00
Austin Reeves and a Walker Kessler.
4:03
That's your big three. I mean come on, for real, for
4:06
real. I've been in this series.
4:10
If this lost Las Vegas squad don't do, I'll be honest with
4:14
you, don't do don't do at least as good or or it is done as good
4:19
as this past season squad. You will get a lot of people
4:23
that's going to ask for Rob Palinka to be fired.
4:27
If they already asking for it right now.
4:29
I'll be dead honest if you already asked for it right now
4:32
because I don't like the way the Lakers are looking right now.
4:36
They're going to be garbage. The garbage, you're going to be
4:39
garbage. You got a lot of them.
4:41
A lot of weight is put on on Luka and Austin Reeves and
4:46
Walker. For real.
4:48
Your bench is bet for real. Your bench is not that good,
4:54
especially where the East has gotten a hell of a lot stronger.
4:58
The East have gotten stronger. The East these these got
5:02
stronger with with Toronto Raptors, but after which he made
5:07
that trade for Kawhi Leonard, which I don't blame getting
5:12
Kawhi back. I really don't blame him.
5:14
That's that's that's that's right.
5:16
There is basically a smart smart a gay gay hey good move.
5:21
Goodman opposed the Rogers made that trade the bad trade because
5:26
Kawhi Leonard said Kawhi Leonard said basically, like I said, he
5:29
only team hillside extension for his it's it's extension for us.
5:34
So that's a that's a that's a plus right there as that plus
5:37
right there for real. That's that's that's just that's
5:41
just an obvious plus, honestly, for real.
5:44
And in Philly somewhat got strong.
5:46
I can say somewhat gotten stronger.
5:48
Even though I got to say this Brad Stevens made the most
5:51
dumbest trade in the world, the most dumbest trade in the world.
5:55
I mean, when you, I mean 1, you traded Jenny Brown, which I
6:01
don't know why you did, but you shouldn't have did in my
6:04
personal opinion. You should have tried sat down
6:07
and worked it out and talked it out and say, talked it out and
6:10
say, yeah, yeah, we dangled you whatnot for all Giannis on the
6:13
guys on the Cooper, we dangled you, blah, blah, blah.
6:16
You should have talked to him about that.
6:17
Smooth that out. But you traded her to your
6:20
rivals, to rivals, the Philadelphia 76ers.
6:24
I'll be dead and topped that off you.
6:27
You traded him for Paul George. Paul George.
6:30
I mean, damn. Paul George.
6:33
I mean, Jesus Christ. I mean probably damn.
6:37
I mean, then you went back, then you went and you signed Mitchell
6:41
Robinson, who's I'll be honest, Mitchell Robinson is a good
6:45
defender, good rebounder, but he has health issues, health
6:49
issues, bad knees, and he doesn't score that many points.
6:52
He doesn't score, honestly. I mean, Jesus, man.
6:57
And here's the messed up part. If the Boston Celtics don't be,
7:01
don't do freaking scoop it, don't do fucking good this year.
7:04
Again, he's a drill manager that people don't have people going
7:06
to call to be fired. And then it's doing it right
7:09
now. Now I'm being honest with you
7:12
because Jenny Brown had an awesome season just this past
7:15
the NBA season. Damn good season.
7:18
And top that off, tapped off this this past season was
7:21
supposed to be a down year for both of subjects and it wasn't
7:25
the regular season made the regular season.
7:27
You remain one of the top teams in the regular season.
7:30
Yes, you have to playoffs suck. Yes you did.
7:32
In the playoffs you suck better and and play you suck and play
7:36
you suck. You should have won that 30
7:38
series, but you did what you did.
7:41
But the regular season, it was also a regular season team did
7:44
good good. I'm shocked that Jim Brown
7:47
didn't win NBA VP. In my personal opinion, he
7:49
should have won one, but you traded him to your rivals.
7:53
And this is and this is the potential Philadelphia 76ers
7:57
starting five Tyrese Maxi yes, VJ Edgecomb, yes.
8:01
Jenny Brown, yes. Wade and then B yes, that
8:06
started 5 looks good. But it depends upon, again, the
8:10
health of Joel and B Joel and B could stay healthy.
8:14
KKKK he stay healthy. That's that's that is a thing
8:17
which means a lot of the weight, a lot of pressure is going to be
8:20
put on Tyrese Maxi, BJ Edgecomb and Jenny Brown on the real on
8:26
the real on the real here, your bench is OK.
8:29
You got Phil on Junior Simmons, Edwards, Barlow and you got
8:34
Huckaporti with that which you which you signed was the player
8:37
the Knicks didn't want to sign and you signed them and you say
8:40
and the next they want to bring him back because he wasn't
8:43
really that good. I'll be honest with you.
8:45
He was really that good for real.
8:47
And that's the person you're going to have to come off the
8:50
come up the bench or help out what you want to be.
8:52
Come on now. You should have kept and you
8:55
should have kept Andre Drummond, which he didn't.
8:58
Andre Drummond ended up signing with the New York Knicks.
9:01
You're I think that was a good me personally, Some people may
9:04
say that was a good pickup for the Knicks.
9:06
I'll say and I'll say that that's that's a good pick up, a
9:10
good pick up for the Knicks. He'll make a good person to come
9:14
off the bench whenever Carlton Towns, what he gets on the
9:18
German kids score like he used to, but he can't play defensive
9:21
rebounds. He's a little bit of, I say a
9:23
little bit of a step up a little bit from from Mitchell Robinson.
9:29
He really is. He honestly really is, even
9:33
though I'll say Mitch Robinson is a good defender.
9:35
He did a good job. He did a damn good job, which I
9:38
got given credit for. He did do a damn good job
9:41
against Wimby in the finals. He really did.
9:44
He really did. He did he did, even though we
9:47
could use some more points from them point from the recently
9:51
some of the load off of all currently towns.
9:53
But he did a good job playing defense.
9:56
He really did. Honestly, I see, but I I I was
10:00
still the nation, but still man that they needed a more somewhat
10:04
reliable person. Everybody would be about
10:06
reliable basically. I mean by some person that's
10:09
more healthier to play defense like Mitchell ball also score
10:14
again, which I don't blame the Knicks for doing this move
10:17
interview, even though I will say this, I miss Mitchell
10:19
Robinson, but he was injury prone.
10:22
He was in repro. He had to do that do injury
10:25
management with him, kind of like low management with him and
10:29
you need somebody that you can say this that's more reliable.
10:33
You really do. I see you really, really, really
10:37
do man for real pro man and age. I see man Hey, I'm I'm hoping
10:44
it's going to work out. Everyone will work out.
10:46
We'll see. We will see what now, but but
10:48
hey, did I still say the next is still one of the top teams in
10:51
the east? Even though 76ers gotten better,
10:55
Brooklyn got us the tablet better one that's tablet a tad
10:58
bit better. I'm Tebbit better, but not by
11:02
say, I'll say this not as good as not as good for real.
11:05
The east got somewhat he's got a little bit so much stronger,
11:08
just a little bit so much stronger for a Houston.
11:11
I'll say this in the West. In the West, Houston got
11:14
stronger when that he got stronger.
11:16
You go to you can try with that because you got a van van fleet.
11:20
He picked his player option. He'd be the player if he could
11:23
play option. They're going to have him coming
11:24
back this year after he spent this past season out on the
11:27
injured list and he picked up Marcus Smart, who's who's a good
11:31
defensive point guard, point guard.
11:34
He's gonna do good with that second.
11:35
You can do good with that second unit for real usage.
11:39
As I say, usage should be a little bit better if they cut
11:43
back on the injuries, man. If they can cut back on the
11:45
injuries, man, I'll be off in my personal opinion, for real, if
11:49
they really cut back on the injuries man for also also some
11:54
people don't know that assembly that that assembly has started.
11:58
I started already. It's already there is some games
12:00
today for July 4th of the West. Who was going to watch somebody
12:03
based basketball games throughout.
12:05
It'll be an Amazon Prime Video. There's there's a game that
12:09
three edition, two games at 3:00 and two games at 5:00.
12:12
Bullfight Amazon prime, ESPN, plus you people, plus today.
12:16
K Hey, hey, case, you would have watched assembly basketball,
12:19
which I know some people don't like the summer league, but I do
12:22
I do. I find I find something I find
12:24
the summer league really, really entertaining.
12:26
That's just a that's just me personally.
12:28
I really do. I find it really entertaining
12:31
for also during the summer league, the NBA wants to test
12:36
out a new rules. So I guess they've been using
12:39
this in the summer league for a little bit, but it's been for a
12:44
little bit. But honestly, I'm against they
12:47
want to do this. We would do this to speed up the
12:50
game of basketball. Be personally, I am really
12:54
against this. I really am.
12:56
Here's what it is. You know how big you know how
12:59
you know how they shave you doing to test out, do a test
13:02
something out. We test them with the free
13:04
throws. You know how you know that for
13:06
instance, you're going for a shot, going for a shot, right?
13:09
So say for a limp and some you get filed but you miss it, you
13:12
get 2 free throws instead of two free throws.
13:15
Two free throws for A2 point shot right you get 1 and you
13:18
make that one that counts AS2. But let's say for instance you
13:21
get fouled at 3 point line. Instead you shooting 3 free
13:24
throws, you shoot, you shoot 1, you shoot one.
13:28
To me it's stupid. The NBA does not need to be
13:31
speed up. It's fine the way it is.
13:34
The problem with the NBA, you got too many damn people
13:38
shooting 3 point shots. That's the damn problem.
13:41
All these people shooting 3.3 point shots it's it's boring.
13:47
It really is boring. It really is boring that's
13:50
that's one of the main problems and also one of the main
13:53
problems is I would say this it is it is those blackout
13:58
restrictions. Here's what I mean by those
14:00
blackout restrictions. If it's different if you're
14:02
using is it blackout restrictions?
14:05
The difference in the first Liquid NBA League Pass, they
14:10
say, for instance, you live in New York, right?
14:13
But but your favorite team was the Lakers.
14:16
You're good, you're good, you're fine, you're good, you're fine.
14:20
You need to watch all the games with no problems except when
14:23
they're playing, say for instance, Brooklyn or Brooklyn
14:26
or let's say for Brooklyn or the Brooklyn or the Knicks.
14:30
Basically those games get blacked out.
14:32
Why? Because you in the New York in
14:35
the New York area, you're in New York area.
14:37
Watch the local television, but flip it around.
14:41
Let's say, for instance, you're a New York Knicks fan, you're a
14:44
Knicks fan. You NBA League Pass sucks for
14:48
you because it what's the point you spending all that money
14:51
because it's going to get blacked out.
14:54
Or basically if you want to watch some of the basketball
14:56
games and say, for instance, if it's not naturally televised,
14:59
say for instance, for instance, it's not televised, but it's on
15:04
a local channel where you where you work at, where you live.
15:06
That basically because to continue like the Knicks, Knicks
15:09
basically wasn't that right? Want you to watch games with MSG
15:13
it's different so you would have watched it, which is a Prime
15:16
Video. It gets blacked out sometimes
15:18
that is sometimes ABC it won't. But Prime Video it does get
15:21
blacked out sometimes stuff like that that pisses people off
15:25
which means I got paid extra money to see it somewhere else.
15:28
Oh hell no. But the main thing is the game
15:32
is boring because too many people shooting jump shots,
15:35
everybody trying to Blake Steph Curry shooting jump shot, jump
15:37
shot, jump shot, jump shot, jump shot, jump shots.
15:40
Even though the shitting, even the shitting falling, people
15:42
still shooting it up and everybody's and people are
15:45
turning channels a lot. I want I want to sit there watch
15:47
a bunch of guys who jump shots jump shots all day.
15:50
Just like this is not like it was back when I was watched back
15:53
when I was watching basketball to enjoy the era where it was
15:56
more defense and more creativity is not it really isn't man, but
16:01
but they AI don't like this new rule.
16:03
I hate this the thing you want to try.
16:05
Hopefully they don't implement it in the NBA.
16:08
Hopefully they don't. Hopefully they don't remember to
16:11
try it out for the summer league, but hopefully they
16:13
don't. They don't for real this thing
16:16
the way this either change anything, change some of the
16:18
rules, bring some Jason will bring an almost not all the way
16:22
back to like a world to a joiner era where I mean it was I mean
16:26
you mean you was getting body slam jawed.
16:28
It was like like you born St. course man through not all the
16:32
like that, but at least somewhat close to that era for real.
16:36
I see man that way is some somewhat more somewhat more
16:40
entertaining. I see man some more anything.
16:43
Also I do like the way they're handling anyone with a low
16:47
management. This is BS because I'm saying
16:50
this Jordan them play all 82 games or the battle back in the
16:53
back in the day play all 82 games.
16:55
Why can't these players? I understand things happen.
16:58
You get you get hurt, you get hurt or or you got family
17:03
issues. That's different story.
17:05
That's understandable, but if you sit and say to what I'll
17:08
play playing today, I'm going to day off Oh hell no, especially
17:12
with ticket prices for these damn free damn games.
17:14
Hell no mother blame but you playing for real.
17:19
What were you playing honestly man for real honestly you you
17:22
was playing you, you is thinking playing man please F that play
17:28
play for real man for real man, for real man Hey for real.
17:33
Hey don't we can check out somebody some of league games
17:35
that's gone today also here's what sucks.
17:38
I know some people already hating this to I hate this.
17:41
I I guarantee you what not if people would hate it as much I
17:45
think they're going to hate it. Ray's going to drop Ray's going
