Take a listen.

Take a listen.

I'll start with the off season and the work that's required in an off season to be in championship shape. And you know, we have a ways to go as a roster, and certainly there are individuals that were in phenomenal shape. There's certainly other ones that could have been in better shape.

First things first, obviously he's talking about Luka Doncic. It doesn't take a nine style to figure that out. That may not be the only person he's talking about, but clearly he's talking about him. At the very least, he's the one that's going to have the ball in his hands the majority of the time. He's going to be the frase to the franchise for the next decade. For you or at least a foreseeable future. He is a basketball iconic superstar globally, I might add. And so because of that, you're looking at him and you know the conditioning or lack thereof the manner in which he was attacked the man, the fact that in Game five and the close out game he gave up none blowbots for crowd out loud. That is something that has to be rectified. JJ Reddick knows that, and his willingness to speak about that is not hypocritical in any way, Ladies and gentleman, because JJ Reddick say what you all about him, but he has always been somebody that's been in shape. He was always his pension, and what rode his success through Duke as an All American and then ultimately on the professional basketball level was the fact that JJ Reddick's movement without the ball was obviously a very very significant thing.

The man has always been in shape.

So when he talks about one's conditioning, it's not like we can look at him and call him out for anything.

We certainly can't do that. That's number one. Number two.

And the Lakers talk about improving their roster, understand that they don't have a boatload of things to work with. You got some players, the Austin Reeves, the Ruy hotchamor Is, the Jared Vanderbilts of the world that gave vincents of the world. All of them are hovering around anywhere from eleven to thirteen million in salary. Here's the problem with an Austin Reeves that's making about thirteen million. If you move him, how much equitable compensation are you getting in return? He's established himself as a Bona five number.

Three option for the Los Angeles Lake. He's averaged about twenty points game this year.

He's improved vastly, and if you're gonna move him, okay, what kind of equitable conversation are you gonna get in return for his services? Because at thirteen million dollars, again, the salaries don't necessarily match.

He's grossly underpaid.

He's grossly underpaid.

So because he's grossly underpaid, you know, it's one of those situations where if you move him, you're gonna get short changed on the return. I don't know about that, but the biggest thing it brings me to is wondering having me wondering about Lebron James. If Lebron James has to come back for his twenty third season, which everybody in their grandmama.

Believes he will. I think a legitimate question to be asked is what is he playing for?

Believes he will. I think a legitimate question to be asked is what is he playing for?

Do y'all understand that? Says Lebron James has arrived in Los Angeles, they missed the playoffs. They won a championship in the Bubble, but then they spent the next three years or four years or so either missing the playoffs or getting bounced in the first round, and at least once they were swept. Since twenty twenty, okay, Lebron James has gone to the Western Conference finals. Darvin Ham's first year, all right, But other than that, he's been home.

That's five teams. Clippers, Lakers had their way with them during the regular season. The Clippers are the ones still playing, going up, going for a game seven tomorrow night in Denver in the first ride of the players, while the Lakers are already home and five five?

If you're Lebron James, at some point in time, it's appropriate and fair to ask what is he playing for?

Minnesota got ant Man and some defensive wizards around them. Dallas Kyrie eventually will return, Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, Derek Lively. They ain't gone away. I'm just saying we got to pay attention to these things. You're talking about five to six different teams for you can think about the Lakers. Lebron James is still an all world player. He's still one of the greatest, there is no question in that. But if conditioning is an issue with Luca and the ability of the Lakers front office to do something to improve the roster or all high question marks. Where does that leave Lebron James. Is he really playing to win, meaning does he believe that he can win with him? Is he playing because he just doesn't feel like relocating. Is he playing so his other.

Son could come into the NBA?

Son could come into the NBA?

These are the questions that people are asking, and I think they're legitimate because right now, with the Lakers going home in the first round, it's almost so you can't even take their regular season effort seriously anymore. You gotta wait until the postseason when teams have the opportunity to plan and plot against them in the Best of seventh series. Can't ignore it. I certainly am not, and I don't think the rest of you can either. The situation is what it is, and there is absolutely positively nowhere around to By the way, as an aside to the people of Dallas, can we take the heat off of Nico Harrison just to touch because you talk about somebody that doesn't look too bad today, it's Nico Harrison.

The way everybody from Julius Randall to Mike Conley Jr. Or an ant man to a Jada McDaniels. When you see the way everybody was blown right by him. He is a defensive liability and offensively because they pressured him ninety four feet for most of the game.

As great as Luca is, and we all know he's great, you know somebody else who's having just as big of an impact as Luca is his former sub Jayalen Brunson, who by the way, helped Luca carry the Dallas Mavericks to a Western Conference finals.

About three years back.

About three years back.

That same Jayleen Brunson, who the Dallas Mavericks didn't want to get fifty three million too, and the Knicks ended up giving him over one hundred and four million dollars too before signing them to a new contract where he sacrificed one hundred million dollars which he could have signed.

Jaylen Brunson did that.

That same Jalen Brunson has carried the Knicks to a second consecutive berth into the Eastern Conference Semifinals courtesy of a one sixteen, one to thirteen victory over Detroit in Game six last night in Detroit. Jalen Brunton, as I told you, was the star, dropping forty points in the business, including a late three pointer with four seconds left in the game to seal the victory.

Brunson and I'm saying to myself, this is what he brings to the table. There's no doubt about that. Michael Bridges showed up in the open court. When you let the brother flourish, what does he do? He gets it done. He gets it done. Annanobe can't say enough about the defense that he put on Cane, cutting him, held him like thirty two percent shooting for the series.

So that's just where I'm at with it. I look at the New York Nicks. I'm very, very proud that they pulled this out. That they got out of the first round, no doubt about that. They advanced to the Eastern Conference second round. However, will they'll be playing against the Boston Celtics. All right, And I'll get to all of that.

So that's one of that's one of the things he's that's one of the people he's talking about.

Oh, well, well, Luka Doncik is so out of shape that JJ JJ decided to play him the most minutes on the team. He averages the most points on the team, second in assists, no first, first and assists and second and rebounds.

Well, first of all, you're missing a point just because he played them, because Luke is one of your best players and you have to play him. And JJ Reddick clearly showed that he wasn't willing to use his bitch is he lost complete faith in all of them. He's just saying what you have to do because of how much you needed. He wasn't saying he wasn't saying that the man is out of shape, he's a bum. He's saying that you've got to be in championship.

And by the way, I'm not letting I'm not letting them off the hook, because listen, he should have found a way to use his bench. How you gonna go a whole second half gate there and not use your bench once?

And by the way, I'm not letting I'm not letting them off the hook, because listen, he should have found a way to use his bench. How you gonna go a whole second half gate there and not use your bench once?

Just because you tall don't mean you automatically get asserted into the lineup. I mean, listen, you're trying to tell me there ain't nobody on Golden State that was taller than Draymond Green.

But for the longest time.

They put Draymond Green out there and ask him to embrace the challenges going up against bigger dudes simply because you didn't have guys that were confident knew how to playing.

Does Rudy Gobert look like Hakeem olajah on if you have somebody out there with some hype twelve.

If they if they can't play, if they can't play, yes, because Rudy Gobert is like, what three four time Defensive Player of the Year. But also, you know what a lot of putbacks and whatever you listen, the Lakers could have got. They could have consummated the Mark Williams deal with Charlotte. They didn't do that, Okay, talking about he failed some physical or whatever. They got to go out and get it big. We know they were too small, so they didn't have the personnel, the.

Problem is is that Minnesota plays defense so well you need it as much offensive firepower as you could possibly muster. Jared Vanderbilt doesn't have to be guarded, and that puts Minnesota at that puts the Lakers that have decided disadvantage when they're on offense.

So I feel like the guy that was doing the most work on the team is taking the most heat. Even you just saying that Nico is not looking so bad to that you still gave it way Luca Danci for for for Anthony Davis, You're still getting bad.

So I feel like the guy that was doing the most work on the team is taking the most heat. Even you just saying that Nico is not looking so bad to that you still gave it way Luca Danci for for for Anthony Davis, You're still getting bad.

You wasn't here last year. I changed his name to MJ. I call him Michael Jalen Brunson. I even put his head on the little Dunk emblem. And because the stats that that show that you know, he's he's he's right, he's right on that level of Michael Jordan. Like you know, he may just be missing the Scottie pipp and Phil Jackson or put together, but he might go.

With your ignorance, you always crossing the damn line you're always going a little bit too far. Most forty point series clinching wins on road in the NBA history, Michael Jordan had four. Okay, he has two. Congratulations with that, we understand that you. D Wade's up there, Charles Barkley's up there, Giannis is up there, or whatever. Stop with the stop with the Jordan comparitives.
