00:19Let's welcome in Willard and Dibs.
00:21It is the crossover.
00:22Hey, guys.
00:23How are you guys doing?
00:24Let's go, let's go.
00:25I wanna put some respect on your gambling.
00:27I do right now.
00:28I really do.
00:29I know what you're gonna say.
00:30What do you think I'm gonna say?
00:31I know what you're gonna say.
00:32Congratulations for not making that bet with Steinmetz.
00:34Well, actually, no, that's not what I was,
00:36because wait a minute.
00:37I didn't hear that, but no, no, no.
00:38Now, change the lead.
00:40What'd I miss?
00:40I almost got him to bite on.
00:42What was the bet?
00:43The Warriors going to the finals.
00:44The Warriors against the Fields?
00:45No, no, I'm done with that.
00:47Okay.
00:48Okay, wait, just Warriors winning the West?
00:50Yeah, winning it all, and then Evan helped me out,
00:52and I was like, you know what?
00:53You're Willard right now, Evan.
00:54Yeah, take a breath.
00:55And I didn't do it, yeah.
00:56Take a breath.
00:57I sent Western Conference Finals pre-trade.
01:00Now, I'm like, if they got to the finals,
01:02Dibs, the basketball part of it, for me, is there,
01:06and I wouldn't be as shocked as I was in 2022,
01:09even though they got up to that phenomenal start and all,
01:11but I was like, please.
01:13But now, the basketball part of it,
01:16Jimmy Butler basically playing half a season,
01:18I could see it.
01:20I can, too, but I'd be more shocked
01:23because of what you just said.
01:25In 22, they were 41-14, and so Steph, he got hurt,
01:32and he coasted, and they were able to coast,
01:34and if you look at what they did,
01:37the remainder of those 27 games, they stunk,
01:40but they rested, and so they got into the playoffs,
01:43and they were rested,
01:45and they had a younger supporting cast.
01:47You had Jordan Poole at 22, right?
01:52And Wiggins, 26.
01:53Right, and Jordan Poole was great,
01:56and Wiggins was amazing.
01:56Amazing.
01:57And, I mean, now you're looking at, you know,
01:59Kaminga, who's coming off an ankle,
02:02and he'll play maybe 20 games leading up to it,
02:05and you've got GP2 at 31, Kavon Looney at 47,
02:11and, you know, I know he's not 47,
02:13but it seems like he is.
02:15Nobody blinked when you said it.
02:16Nobody blinked.
02:17Right.
02:18We heard the joke.
02:19We're just like, yep, that's what's about to happen.
02:20It was meant as a joke, but nobody was like,
02:22oh, that's so funny,
02:23because we all thought, man, is he 47?
02:25Yeah, I think he is.
02:26But I do think that the run-up
02:28is gonna be a lot harder than it was in 22.
02:32Even though I said yesterday that there's a path,
02:34and there is a path, but it's a lot harder.
02:35So you're out of, real quick, Willard,
02:37you're out of, because I know pre-trades,
02:39you're like, Google, they're done.
02:40No, I was telling him he was about to go.
02:42I don't know if you, are you back into where,
02:44well, you just said it, I kind of could see a chance.
02:48Well, I could see it.
02:48Pre-trades, you were like, they got nothing coming.
02:50I could see a path,
02:51but if I wanted to put the over-under
02:53on playoff wins at four and a half,
02:56which would mean you would win one series,
02:59I'd take the under.
03:00Wow.
03:01I mean, that's the correct bet right now.
03:02If I was going to bet, yes.
03:03If you're gonna play the odds,
03:04that's the correct bet right now.
03:06Just because of where they're at, right.
03:07Yeah, like, here's the way I look at it,
03:10because nobody in this building
03:12gets the fishhook in the mouth more than me.
03:14Captain positive, I always like,
03:16tell me the Giants are gonna lose the Dodgers this year.
03:18I'm like, we need to see it first.
03:20Like, I will go on this journey with all of you,
03:23but can we take a moment to laugh at ourselves?
03:26Please.
03:27Go ahead, I do it daily.
03:29Let's take a moment to crack up at ourselves.
03:34Look at this.
03:36I would argue that two and a half weeks ago,
03:39definitely a majority of Warrior fans
03:42thought the idea of Jimmy Butler was a hellacious idea.
03:46A hellacious idea.
03:48A malcontent who's 35 years old.
03:51That's a stupid idea.
03:53It was out there.
03:55Then they get him, okay.
03:58Then we play four, four basketball games.
04:04That's what we've done.
04:05We played four basketball games.
04:08Then Draymond Green goes, I think we're gonna win it all.
04:11And then Jimmy goes to Dubai
04:14and apparently tells people there
04:15that they're his favorite radio station
04:18and that he is also here to win a championship.
04:21And now we've got a poll on YouTube.
04:23Who would you rather have, Butler or Durant?
04:25Who won?
04:26Butler's winning.
04:27Soccer.
04:28Just laugh at us,
04:29because we're ridiculous.
04:31And we got daddy smiling.
04:33We are, and I'm with you.
04:35I am one of you.
04:36We are absurd.
04:38But you, real quick,
04:39you and I said the answer was not in the building.
04:42It's in the building now.
04:43Well, I mean.
04:44How you feeling on that?
04:45It's in the building for me.
04:46He might be the answer.
04:48I'm not.
04:49It's better than not having an option.
04:51They look better.
04:52I'm with you.
04:53And we had Richard Fremont.
04:55He didn't call me out, Dibs,
04:56but he kind of said,
04:57Guru, you're overreacting to four games.
05:00And I was just telling Willard,
05:01no, it's bigger than however many games they played.
05:03It's just the imagination running wild
05:06and the basketball part of it making sense
05:09to where I'd like to see Houston in the seven game series.
05:12I love OKC.
05:14Hey, Denver a couple of years ago was great.
05:16But if you're telling me now
05:17that Moxie and Pedigree could come back,
05:19if you could qualify in that series
05:22and use that stuff, I'm all in.
05:25Who wins the Pedigree battle
05:27between Denver and the Warriors?
05:30That's interesting.
05:31But the team that's won more,
05:32I would go with Steph.
05:33I would say the team that's won most recent.
05:35Well, that's your answer.
05:36Mine doesn't mean you're right,
05:38but who's done it the most?
05:40Yeah.
05:42Well, and being a big time horse racing fan,
05:46Pedigree does not necessarily mean
05:48that you're gonna win.
05:50Russell's been retired for years now,
05:52but I do a lot of horse racing betting.
05:54And when you look at the Pedigree
05:57and you look at the Sire
05:59and you look at the Sire Sire,
06:01you look at the Dam and like,
06:03oh boy, you're from Uncle Mo or Hardspun or Curlin.
06:08And I mean, good love for Curlin.
06:11Curlin was in his stable.
06:12I'm over here laughing.
06:13And Curlin, like he pumped out so many
06:16and like Tis Now, he did his work.
06:19So if you look at any race like now,
06:21you'll find a Curlin, you'll find an Uncle Mo,
06:23you'll find a Tis Now.
06:25It doesn't mean that those horses
06:27that were from the Pedigree
06:30are gonna be any good.
06:31Pedigree matters, but I think traditionally in the NBA,
06:34what matters most is who has the best player.
06:38So if Denver plays the Warriors,
06:39who has the best player?
06:41Denver.
06:42What if I said-
06:44You shouldn't say anything but Denver.
06:46What if I said the best player
06:48that's dependent on somebody getting him the ball,
06:53I'm reaching now, but you understand?
06:55Curry and Butler have the ball immediately.
06:58And the big man,
06:59you always could kind of make it a tad bit more,
07:01it's jokage, but you can make it a tad bit more.
07:04He's gotta depend on somebody to give it to him.
07:06Or he can bring it up himself.
07:08The Warriors have great players,
07:10but Denver has, that's one thing that I do think
07:13if you wanna go,
07:15the Warriors are not gonna play Houston
07:16unless somehow they both come out of the first round.
07:19But if they were to play Houston,
07:21who's got the best player?
07:22Well, the Warriors do.
07:23No doubt, gotcha.
07:24Right?
07:25But if you play Denver, does that matter?
07:28Historically, it does.
07:29Historically, it does.
07:31So that's not the matchup I'd be looking for
07:34if I'm going to state.
07:35I mean, here's where I am.
07:38Yesterday, Draymond says what he says,
07:40and I'm thinking, there's no way, is there, Stiney?
07:44You can't be wrong a second time in the last four years.
07:47And so I was like, well, maybe.
07:49I give myself a little window.
07:52And today, I looked at some numbers of championship teams.
07:55I'm like-
07:55And pull out the graph paper.
07:56I'm like, what are we doing?
07:57It's fantastic.
07:58It's my favorite part of it.
07:59But you couldn't do it.
08:00I love it.
08:01I love it.
08:02Ah, you felt it.
08:0395-7 the game.
08:03Dude, it's incredible.
08:0595-7 the game had a day yesterday
08:07when you weren't here.
08:08I wish you were here.
08:10Matt Steinmetz was followed by Dan Dibley,
08:13and both of them were dreamers.
08:15Wow.
08:15For a day.
08:16For a day, both of them were like, yeah, I missed it.
08:20And then-
08:20But he's still in the zone.
08:22Stiney went to sleep, and he woke up,
08:24and he's like, I hate myself.
08:25I can't believe I did that.
08:26And Goose coming in.
08:27I mean, why do you hate yourself?
08:29It's so funny.
08:30You're kind of-
08:30But he's excited.
08:32I mean, like, that's the thing.
08:34Well, he did the homework,
08:35and he pulled out the graph paper.
08:37I did.
08:38And, I mean, the one example that you didn't mention
08:41on the air is Dallas in 2011,
08:43where their core was all in their 30s,
08:47and I know that this core is not quite as young as that core,
08:50but you had J. Kidd, you had Nowitzki.
08:5432.
08:55Yep.
08:56Kidd was 37.
08:57Yep.
08:58Terry, 33.
08:58Right.
08:59Butler, 30.
09:00Karan Butler, remember him?
09:01Yep.
09:02And Sean Marion, 32.
09:03That would be it.
09:05Right?
09:05No doubt.
09:06I mean, and, you know, this team is a little bit older
09:09in terms of a core,
09:10but I would argue that this core is better than that core.
09:14Like, you know, Dirk and J. Kidd, fine.
09:16And I'll give you Jimmy Butler and Steph,
09:18and then you can go down to Karan Butler versus Draymond.
09:24I'll take Draymond.
09:25And I think they also had Tyson Chandler on that team.
09:29They might have.
09:29Yeah.
09:31I just put-
09:31As far as like, you know, the far-reaching idea of it,
09:36yes, it's a long shot.
09:38And when you think about that win for Dallas
09:41over LeBron in Miami.
09:43Oh my gosh.
09:43They had no business winning that.
09:45And you know, the key guy you left out on your little sheet?
09:49J.J. Barea.
09:50Oh, J.J. Barea in those finals.
09:53He can hoop, though.
09:54If you want to watch those finals again,
09:58they had no answer for J.J. Barea,
10:01the 25-year-old Puerto Rican.
10:03And I still have no answer for how they had no answer
10:07for J.J. Barea.
10:07But he was slippery like that.
10:09Dude, super slippery.
10:10What if Jonathan Kaminga becomes a core player, though?
10:14Well, I know as you list those ages off,
10:16you can add in a 22.
10:17Well, that's, wouldn't you do that?
10:19Even like the Spurs.
10:20I come with you.
10:21I don't know what it's going to look like.
10:23No, I know.
10:24And like, there's always kind of a player like that.
10:26Yeah.
10:28Tim Duncan was 22 when he went for the first time.
10:30I love it.
10:31So I do think a championship team needs a guy like Kaminga,
10:36maybe two, you know, like young players on the ascent
10:41who are energetic.
10:42Like most championship teams have a guy or two like that.
10:46Like even Boston, where they had Rondo, right?
10:49I mean, the Boston team, and those guys weren't as old.
10:53And I actually, I-
10:54But they weren't young pups.
10:55Yeah, they were OGs.
10:58Yeah, and Alan.
10:58Rondo was like-
10:5932, 31, and 30, respectively.
11:02But they did have Rondo, and Kendrick Perkins was very young,
11:05and he was like-
11:06Yeah.
11:07Well, the other dynamic here, and this is where-
11:10It's hard now.
11:11This is where the dreamer part will come out,
11:13and this may make some people want to like,
11:14you know, spit it out.
11:15But this is like, things in sports
11:19don't ever happen until they do.
11:21And that's all the Warriors are really looking for.
11:23Like a 16 seed doesn't beat a one.
11:26Until one day.
11:27Yep.
11:28They do, right?
11:29Yes, UMBC.
11:31And a jump shooting team never wins a championship.
11:33You guys are the best.
11:34Until a jump shooting team wins a championship.
11:37And now you can't stop jump shooting teams
11:39from winning championships.
11:40They're all jump shooting teams.
11:42Exactly.
11:43That's like a whole league.
11:43That's a nine.
11:44The whole league flipped off Charles Barkley
11:46and said, watch this.
11:47We heard this this morning.
11:48Somebody goes,
11:49Stani, history only tells us what has happened,
11:52not what will.
11:54And that's what's-
11:55It's true.
11:56Like, okay, would you buy a stock
11:59without looking at what it's done in the past?
12:01Oh, no.
12:03I don't even bet on a game
12:04until I look at what the teams have done
12:06like their last 10.
12:07Yeah.
12:08Like I want to know the flow of your story.
12:09You're listening to 95.7 The Game,
12:12KGMZ FM and HD1 San Francisco.
12:15Always live on the free Odyssey app,
12:17Twitch and YouTube powered by First NorCal Credit Union.
12:20The thing that kind of makes me chuckle too is
12:23we're talking about the Warriors winning the championship
12:26and it's like, we don't even know who they're playing.
12:28You know what I mean?
12:29They gotta get in.
12:29They're not even in yet.
12:30That's the hardest part of all this, I believe.
12:32We don't know who they're playing.
12:34We don't know if they're going to qualify
12:36to win a championship.
12:38Yeah.
12:39But what if I did this?
12:40I said, let's get in the car and go to Reno and gamble.
12:42Yeah.
12:43And I'm a nerd.
12:44But this is what the trade has done to me.
12:47What if I said, who has the best trio in the league?
12:49And then if you said, let's not do trio,
12:50let's do tandems.
12:52If you go Butler and Steph,
12:54like the Warriors are back in it before.
12:57And if we go trio, Dre, Butler, Steph,
13:00like that, I get goosebumps.
13:02Steini hit you with a five piece.
13:04Steini hit you with five straight and you were better.
13:07Well, it was a 10-9 round.
13:09And if we're going to Reno,
13:11then we need to swing by and see Shaney Shane and Aaron Lowe.
13:14Hey, what are the Warriors to win it all right now?
13:16Is anybody who's pretty good at the quarter total?
13:18Oh, that's right.
13:1965-1.
13:2065-1.
13:21That boy.
13:22You bet, dude.
13:23Would I go to Reno, bet $100 to win what, 6,500?
13:27Correct.
13:28Wow.
13:29Nope, I'm not doing that.
13:30I'm taking the hundred and I'm going out to skydive.
13:35ESPN's now got them at plus 6,000.
13:37Oh.
13:38So now it's 60-1.
13:38Yeah.
13:39There you go.
13:40I think they've been listening to goo.
13:41And they're like, I'm gonna move that thing down a little bit.
13:43But if I win trio, forgive me one.
13:46And if you give me two like he did,
13:47I was just doing it for effect.
13:48He gave you five.
13:49No, five that were kind of,
13:50okay, we can sit here for an hour and be like,
13:53but my point is they're in the conversation now.
13:54Tatum, Brown, and Holiday.
13:56Okay, that's second to none.
13:57That's a great one.
13:58Okay.
13:59But my point is Drake, Bundler, and Curry.
14:01Whoever was my favorite.
14:02I didn't like that.
14:04But my point is they're in the conversation.
14:06Willard and Dibbs, the Warriors,
14:08wherever you have them, before this trade, they weren't.
14:11How about Kyrie and Anthony Davis?
14:12But give me a third.
14:15Yeah, I love Pippen.
14:16I mean, who's a Pippen?
14:17The kid, Chris.
14:18Well, I thought we were officially going down to two now.
14:22No, we can do two or three.
14:23They're in the conversation.
14:25And that's the title of the jam.
14:27Even for the title.
14:28Well, I think they're back in the conversation.
14:30The title of the jam is,
14:32this is not the WNBA knockoff spring league.
14:37You play five on five.
14:38Right, you do.
14:39So if, I mean, if you want to talk about five on five,
14:42and, oh, Warriors, Butler, and Green, and Steph.
14:46Okay, who are your next two?
14:49Mine would be Looney and Kaminga,
14:50or it could be Looney and Post.
14:52Kaminga hasn't played in eight weeks.
14:54And, you know, Pods, fun, playing great.
14:59TJD, unplayable.
15:02Buddy Heald, he can knock down a three
15:04when no one's guarding him on a Saturday.
15:07I mean, if you want to talk about like five on five,
15:11then it gets to be a little bit more dicey for me.
15:13That's all.
15:14Does this do anything for you?
15:15Let me see.
15:16I couldn't find an exact comp,
15:18but what I wanted to do was go to baseball.
15:21And look at who is about plus 6,000
15:24to win a championship, okay?
15:26So that we can get an idea of how in the box
15:30or out of the box our brains are right now.
15:32There is no team that is plus 6,000 or plus 6,500.
15:36However, there is a team that's plus 7,000.
15:39It's not that far off, right?
15:41This is a little bit longer odds.
15:44So how does this hit you?
15:47The Cincinnati Reds.
15:48Oh boy.
15:50That's plus a million innings.
15:52That's what's just a touch.
15:55But they don't have a Steph Curry.
15:56I hear you.
15:57You got Elie De La Cruz.
15:58Yeah, oh yeah.
16:01So I like to do that just because our hearts are in this.
16:05But what if I told you the oldest quarterback
16:07won at 43 years old?
16:09Then he also won at 41.
16:11Peyton Manning won at 39.
16:13A Super Bowl.
16:14He was awful, but he could barely even throw a ball.
16:17And you're talking about two of the five
16:19best quarterbacks ever.
16:21Elway at 36 and 37.
16:23You know, you want to know who's next behind the Reds
16:25in the MLB? Pirates.
16:26Nope, Giants.
16:27The San Francisco Giants.
16:28I thought that was going to be the team.
16:30So like, how do y'all feel about that right now?
16:32If I said that, like,
16:34what do you think is a better bet right now?
16:38Warriors to win it all or the Giants to win it all?
16:40The Warriors to win it all.
16:41I mean, I agree.
16:44Who are the Dodgers in the association?
16:47Boston? Yep.
16:48They jacked threes with the best of them.
16:50I don't think there is one.
16:51I don't think there is one.
16:52But one of the things that's blowing me away
16:55is this assumption that once they get to the playoffs,
16:58they can roll.
16:59And I think it's going to be brutal in the playoffs.
17:03I look at the Giants and I'm like,
17:05can they get in as a wild card?
17:07They could. Maybe.
17:08And then, like, baseball's nature is you never know.
17:12Somebody is an unhittable pitcher and like, yeah.
17:15Verlander.
17:16There you go.
17:17He's already cussing out loud.
17:19Wow.
17:19Anyway, I don't know if you saw that clip.
17:21No.
17:22Elliot Ramos hit him about 450 feet today in the live BP.
17:26And it's a great video clip
17:28because literally the second the bat hits the ball,
17:30Verlander just yells the F word
17:32as loud as he possibly can.
17:34Wow, that's a bomb.
17:35Or something.
17:36He's working on it.
17:37Yeah, there you go, Stoddy.
17:38Apparently.
17:39And they're working out the automatic balls.
17:41They are.
17:42In spring training games.
17:43And there's talks that they're going to challenge strikes
17:47I'm out then.
17:47No, but do you know how quick it goes?
17:49You should watch a clip of it.
17:50Okay, I don't.
17:51Because they did it in the minors already.
17:52And if you get, let's say you get rung up on strikes
17:55by the right, Angel Hernandez,
17:57who doesn't have a job anymore,
17:58but let's say if he was there.
17:59He rings you up and you're like,
18:01that ball was two inches inside.
18:02Umpire's got to go take a walk.
18:03No, you don't.
18:04You literally, the batter touches his helmet twice.
18:08Boop, boop.
18:09And it goes up to a camera.
18:10Bang, answer.
18:11Inside the box or out.
18:12Right back to you.
18:13It's less than five seconds.
18:15You get your answer.
18:16That's what it looks like.
18:17Two taps on the helmet.
18:19You tap the helmet.
18:20They look at the camera, in the box, out of the box.
18:22Back to you.
18:23You win, Dibs.
18:24I mean, sure.
18:25It's happening.
18:26There's no, I mean, it's toothpaste out of the tube now.
18:29Exactly.
18:30I mean, we've gotten so far down the road
18:32where like the box, and Mark talked about this a lot
18:35about like, I want the damn box off my screen
18:39or I want the box to actually matter.
18:41And I do know that now with like automated strike zones
18:45it's all gonna be like geared toward each individual batter.
18:49So each batter, when you stand in there,
18:53like in your stance, it's gonna be your zone.
18:56So whenever-
18:57Now that's dope.
18:58Yeah, so like Altuve, he's a little guy.
19:01And when he gets in his stance, his zone is his zone.
19:03And Aaron Judge at 6'8", his zone will be his zone.
19:07And so everyone-
19:08Now that's wow.
19:09Everyone's zone will be individual.
19:11Like your strike zone will be endemic to just you.
19:15And so that's cool.
19:16Wow, damn.
19:18But sure, I mean, if it means that we talk less
19:21about umpires and referees and all the rest of it,
19:23I'm here for it.
19:25Anyway, Warriors are winning the title.
19:26Yeah, there we go.
19:27Sure, yeah, there you go.
19:28Shout out Cincinnati Reds.
19:29Yeah.
19:30Cincinnati Reds also winning the title this year.
19:31It's gonna be great.
19:32Yeah.
19:33So.
19:35Yeah, I told, go ahead.
19:36No, I didn't have any.
19:37No, I was psychoanalyzing my partner.
19:39He doesn't even know he's lightweight excited.
19:43No, I am.
19:43Because the playoffs have already started.
19:47It's crazy.
19:48I believe them getting to the sixth spot
19:50is gonna be harder than the playoffs in a crazy way.
19:54Do you know what the observation is for me
19:55in watching you guys and just listening to this conversation
19:59is that we've spent a better part of the year,
20:01Stiney, I think you at the front of the line,
20:04really being kind of upset at the state of the league.
20:07Oh yeah.
20:08This trade deadline, first of all, it beat the Superbowl.
20:12I didn't know if I liked that either.
20:14As far as build up that week,
20:15and maybe that's us in our echo chamber in the Bay Area
20:18where the Superbowl was like the two worst,
20:21the worst matchup we could have ever imagined.
20:24So maybe that's that.
20:25But I do think if you looked at social media or whatever,
20:28the NBA beat the Superbowl that week.
20:32And then I think there's a little staying power to it.
20:36There's a little juice right now
20:38about NBA regular season basketball games
20:41that I haven't felt in a little while.
20:44Well, mainly here with the trade, but I'm a lifer.
20:47Sacramento hosts the Warriors Friday night.
20:49Oh man.
20:50And that's got popcorn, right?
20:52Right?
20:53Yeah, it's like, I think.
20:54I know it's not a must win, but you better win.
20:57Well, I would say these next,
20:59if you look at these next 10 games,
21:01it's a lot of games you should win on paper.
21:05Wow.
21:06I don't need them to win Friday,
21:07but I need you to put a little streak together
21:10probably pretty quick.
21:11Because you haven't won three in a row since November.
21:13See, here's what I want Warrior fans to know.
21:16I would rather they win a title
21:20and I'm completely wrong about them from this point on,
21:23then they didn't make a move and finish 41 and 41.
21:28I'd rather be like.
21:30Yeah, of course.
21:33Like for us, the station, the conversation.
21:37Yeah.
21:38It's just, oh, no doubt.
21:39It's been a 180.
21:40It's awesome.
21:40It has been, but like what Mark just said
21:43and what you just said, I think speaks to the bigger issue
21:45with the association is the trade deadline
21:49has been bigger than any of the 55 games they've played.
21:53It's been that way for a little while though,
21:55don't you think?
21:55No, but three years more so.
21:56Three years more so.
21:57You just said it.
21:58The NBA trade deadline took the headlines
22:02from the Superbowl because of trades.
22:04Like it's basically like a glorified NFL combine.
22:09Like the NFL combine is a job fair
22:12and it used to be a big thing.
22:13And like the NFL now where, oh boy, you know, free agency.
22:17It's a big thing, those two or three days.
22:19And that's what the NBA has become.
22:21The games are lesser than the actual trade deadline movement.
22:25And so, yeah, the Kings game, it's big.
22:27And for the standings too.
22:29The next five or six games, it's big,
22:31but largely the trade deadline movement
22:34is gonna be bigger than any of the 82 games they play.
22:37If it were on national TV, and it's not,
22:39but if it were on national TV,
22:41would you watch the Lakers play Charlotte tonight?
22:44One of the top stories on the internet right now.
22:46Or you watch it.
22:47Yeah, okay, I got you.
22:48Like the minutes restriction on Luka is off
22:51starting tonight.
22:53Would that grab your attention?
22:55Yeah, I can't wait for that.
22:56No, no, no, be real.
22:58Be real.
22:58No.
22:59Okay, no.
23:00Because Luka's in the New Jersey.
23:02Like, yeah.
23:03Luka at Charlotte.
23:04It's not at Charlotte.
23:05It's in L.A.
23:06Oh, boy.
23:07Just seeing him play with LeBron.
23:08Yeah, okay.
23:09No, like I, that's what I'm talking about.
23:11These trade deadline brought-
23:12Mark William's revenge game.
23:14It brought all these new-
23:15Brandy gave that to me.
23:17Nobody even knew who he was before that.
23:19Brandy, good job.
23:21That's so good.
23:22There's these new dynamics to where I think
23:24there's a bunch of teams.
23:25The Warriors aren't the only one.
23:26Exactly.
23:27Or I'd be really curious what they look like.
23:29And the Lakers are one of them.
23:31And I think that's why you put in that trade deadline,
23:33starting to add excitement, pit stop, and gas.
23:37Should be fun.
23:38I can't wait.
23:40Stony was in, but now he's out.
23:41How long you stay yesterday?
23:43Did you go OT on here?
23:44I went through about two, three weeks.
23:47Why you ask questions, Gu, you know?
23:49All right, well, you guys-
23:50Oh, yeah.
23:51Oh, oh, in addition to anything.
23:53No, no, just, this'll be quick if you let me say it.
23:55I mean-
23:55In addition-
23:56Look at him, come on.
23:57In addition to what we're going to normally do
24:00with Warriors, and it's a big week for all of that.
24:02Giant season preview, Will Clark in 15 minutes, okay?
24:06Javi Lopez is on the show as well.
24:09And Willie Adamas will be on our show on Friday.
24:12Now that's, in studio.
24:14No, no, no.
24:15Okay, no.
24:16He's in Arizona.
24:17I'm trying to keep-
24:18He's in the spring training.
24:18I'm trying to keep this up.
24:19He's not going to be in studio,
24:21but he will be on 95.7, the game.
24:24Well played.
