00:00I do also want to offer this when it comes to Denver. It makes their offense less predictable.

00:06Even though we very much know Zach Levine's game, it does make their offense less predictable.

00:12Right now the unpredictability is in Jokic's movement.

00:15And in the playoffs, like they're looking at this not just as a regular season.

00:19As a half-court move.

00:20In the playoffs, an individual's ability to take one's defender.

00:26It doesn't have to be a fully cleared out, old-fashioned, walk-it-back iso.

00:32But just the ability to get where they want and create the shot.

00:36Without a screen.

00:37Right.

00:38Here's the thing. You don't have to ball screen for Zach.

00:42You can give the ball up top in between the rings and he's going to get by his guy.

00:47You can screen for him if you want that action in the area.

00:49He's great off the horn and stuff, whatever they want to do.

00:52But just that ability is valuable.

00:56Knowing Michael Malone, what do you think of that pairing?

00:58It's a great pairing.

01:00Right?

01:00Because Zach Levine's like, oh, you guys have won a title.

01:02You know what you're doing.

01:03I will listen to everything you say and do whatever it is I need to do to get it done.

01:07Plus, I know I'm getting all the shots I want because Joker.

01:10And he could also shake that whole losing player thing, Dan.

01:15He could.

01:16I'm looking at you.

01:18But he has been a losing player.

01:19He's been on losing teams.

01:21Yeah, he's also been on winning teams.

01:23The Bulls didn't win three years ago.

01:25That wasn't them winning.

01:26Yeah, but he's he has generally never been associated with success.

01:32The usually the more he plays, the less likely the team is to win.

01:36And when the Bulls discovered Kobe White and actually found some useful pieces and

01:41increase in value, it's when he was out.

01:43Wasn't that the same thing they said about Carl Anthony Towns for a long time?

01:47And then they put him with other all-stars.

01:48And I mean, seriously, he became a winning player.

01:51Well, the guys that it was said about for a long time were Levine and Kevin Love.

01:57And then Kevin Love got with LeBron and things looked a whole lot different.

02:01I respect your basketball knowledge, but I just think that's a really odd label to put

02:07on somebody when a lot of it has been out of their control.

02:10Exactly.

02:10I'm with Layla on that one.
