00:00He's a top five player in the world when he's healthy, so you come back.
00:05When you think you can come back, I'm not saying rush it or anything like that, but don't worry about the chemistry.
00:10Of the two seed in a bad Eastern Conference, these guys are playing their tails off.
00:15But you're one of the best players in the world when you're right, so you need to find a way.
00:20It won't be 30 points a game, 8 rebounds a night, and 40 minutes.
00:25It's not going to be that.
00:26But whatever he can bring is going to help the team.
00:30You know, so every year, teams make trades at the trade deadline.
00:34The guy or two.
00:35Two that they got weren't on the team for the first 50 games, but they figure out a way to incorporate them and get.
00:40Better for the playoffs and the stretch run.
00:42Like, am I concerned about Tatum and.
00:45Will Jalen Brown be willing to take a backseat?
00:47Will Tatum be willing to take a backseat to Jalen Brown?
00:49Am I concerned about that?
00:50Sure.
00:50Yeah.
00:50But that doesn't mean Tatum shouldn't come back.
00:52I mean, it's a consideration how it's all going to.
00:55It's not a reason not to come back.
00:59No, it isn't.
00:59Like.
01:00On the one hand, it's very respectful, I guess, where he's like, hey, these guys are doing awesome.
01:03I'm not there.
01:04They're all.
01:05Like, on the one hand, maybe let's see how far they can go, because I don't want to screw that up, because right now.
01:10We're talking about this team looks like they should go to the second round of the playoffs, and then depending on matchups, let's see what.
01:15It happens, and honestly, them winning the East isn't the craziest thing, but for a guy who, like, loves.
01:20Kobe Bryant.
01:21You think Kobe Bryant would be like, I'm healthy, but, like, I'm going to sit out.
01:24No, he's.
01:25He'd be out there in a second.
01:26He'd be fighting to play the whole game.
01:28I still think he's coming.
01:28If they were, like, the sixth seed.
01:30Do you think he'd be this reluctant to come back?
01:32Or be like, hey, if I come back, we can get him to see.
01:34No, the only.
01:35The only way I wouldn't come back if I was Tatum is if they were the Pacers.
01:38If they were, like, the Pacers.
01:39Then you're.
01:40Like, what's the point?
01:40What am I even doing?
01:42We'll take a higher lottery pick, and then I'll come back full go next year.
01:45As long as they were a top 10 seed, I would say, I'll come back.
01:50And maybe I'll play 20 minutes a night.
01:52Yeah, and maybe.
01:52Nobody's asking him to be the Jason Tatum, and maybe that's his.
01:55Maybe he's like, I don't.
01:56Maybe he doesn't want to do that.
01:57Maybe he doesn't want to come back and be the third leading scorer on.
02:00If he's cleared, he should play.
02:01That's what I think.
02:02If he's cleared.
02:02I do, too.
02:03I have no idea if he's cleared or not.
02:05He's cleared, he should play.
02:05That means you're medically cleared.
