00:00so anthony davis washington wizard we're gonna see him eventually right now he is more
00:08sasquatch more rumor than he is fact eventually we'll see him out there
00:13hooping for the good old wizards yeah that said he was on draymond green's podcast just a day ago
00:22and talked about what it was like to find out he had been traded to the wizards
00:28from the outside looking there and dray like people don't understand i didn't understand i
00:33was one of these guys too like damn washington like what but then when you get here you look
00:40at the facility you look at you know the little details of it the team it's like not bad like
00:48i like the young guys on the team like these can play you know they play hard they're not afraid
00:55the moment they're not scared like these guys can really hoop and so for me you know i'm like
01:02when i talk to the gm when i talk to the owner when i talk to the president always and
01:07always going to
01:09be about winning right no matter what i want to win if that's here then that's here you know but
01:16when you're like you said when you're in a rebuild you know and for me i've i'm at a young
01:2233 and
01:23every year that i play from here on out i want to be able to compete for a championship you
01:27know
01:27i just know and you know it's tough to be one of the worst teams in the league and then
01:31next year
01:32you're a championship contender it's tough tough tough thing you know um but now if you're saying
01:38hey look we can go from one of the worst teams hey we make playoffs you get you know first
01:44second
01:44round and you stack it then you know it's a different conversation yeah you know but it's not
01:51gonna happen overnight right and so for me like i want to be able to compete for championships
01:56this team is is not there yet you know um so i gotta like i'm going into the summer
02:02you know having conversations with them like what's realistic like what are y'all thinking
02:07if we are you know trying to win what other players are we getting you know are we getting
02:12other players you know like what can we do what's the flexibility what the flexibility do we have
02:17um and then kind of go from there but at the end of the day i want i want to
02:22compete for championships
02:23you know first i want to get the hand you know 100 healthy which is almost there uh haven't been
02:29clear for games yet but uh i'm now doing you know some live action 101 2v2 stuff like that um
02:36obviously the season is you know winding down but my desire for winning the championship um
02:44like that's that's what i want to do and and you know i've expressed that to them and
02:48you know um there's more conversation to be had though but you know i like i do like these young
02:54guys you know they they it's a great organization great ownership um the young guys bub carrington
03:02and will riley you know um you know they trade johnson alex are like these guys can like really play
03:08keishon george who torched us our second game in dallas for 32 like like they can they can really
03:14play bro they can play i mean he played a couple times i missed both actually we just didn't go
03:18to
03:18say like these guys can play yeah they can play they play hard um you know and i think i
03:24could be a
03:25great you know vet for him but you know i i want to compete for championships and you know who
03:30knows
03:31maybe it's here i like i don't know i we're going to talk about that at the end of the
03:34season
03:35okay there's a lot in there i'll start by asking you this b mitch what did you hear in that
03:41i heard
03:42uh i'd rather go to a team that's already made up i i have confidence in these guys i think
03:47that they
03:48are doing a good job but it's not where i wanted to be just yet but that's a but i'm
03:53not shocked
03:55because that is the mindset of most athletes today they want something ready-made instead of being a
04:01part of building something they don't want to be like how about you be the the heartbeat or the
04:06caveat that comes in and change this thing you can go from worst to first if you got the right
04:11people
04:12in place i think when you look at if ad can be healthy a whole damn season okay i'm betting
04:18the
04:18under on that if trey comes in and play like he's capable of playing and with these young guys playing
04:24as hard as you say these bleep bleeps can play yeah if you get that you don't know what you
04:30can jump to
04:30right let's be real when he automatically just went to la didn't you had the names but you didn't
04:37have the the the the basically unity right in dallas your damn show wasn't competing for no championship
04:43so i understand what the mindset is but i just tell players sometimes how about be a part of changing
04:52it up instead of rolling in and just joining something that's already established yeah i heard
04:59first and foremost what i like the most i heard a guy with a high iq he he understands the
05:07way things
05:07are that he is not thrilled that he has ended up here yeah talk about life comes at you fast
05:14i mean he does this guy was so good so dominant so powerful he was able to leverage his way
05:22out of new
05:23orleans basically force his way out in a way in which the league if it was a proper league would
05:30have blocked what he and his agent were doing but he forced his way out and got to the la
05:35lakers
05:36yeah i mean the pinnacle the penthouse all right and he's with lebron james and when he was there it's
05:42like oh my god these guys are never going to lose look at this combination then the pandemic hits
05:47they do win the title in the pandemic title to which in that interview i saw a clip from davis
05:55saying yeah it says i'm a champion but am i really because even he even he questioned it yes he
06:01even
06:02put shade on his own title in the bubble which i was rather surprised to see but again that's because
06:07of his i think high iq um he then gets traded to the mavericks which was i'm sure a shock
06:13to him
06:14but at least it's dallas yeah yeah and he is there with other potentially great players like
06:20kyrie irving although he was hurt at the time and all right we're gonna now do something great in
06:25dallas uh-huh now he's been traded to the wizards yeah and let's be honest we are not even the
06:36clippers
06:36anymore when it comes to nba purgatory we're above a few outwaters or backwaters like milwaukee
06:45and memphis as lebron pointed out this week and caught a lot of flack for it by the way
06:51but let's be honest we're down there and it's too bad because we all love this area especially this
06:58time of year how can you not love it there's so much going on there's so much to offer there's
07:02so
07:02much basketball uh infused in the fabric of our area totally it's just there has been chronic
07:10losing absolutely endemic systemic losing horrible losing and i'll this is just a me thing i'll die on
07:21this hill the nickname sucks i mean wizards is a child's name i would like it to be anything but
07:29the wizards except for seadog yeah i'm not a seadog guy but i've always thought the wizards
07:35infantilized the franchise it's just not powerful enough but it's a wizard it's powerful what is this
07:42harry potter yeah so i'm glad he likes the facility the management the young players on the team and he
07:48is looking forward to making something work here i hope he's healthy but the two numbers that cannot
07:54be forgotten are this 58 and 62 you know what 58 and 62 are was the two numbers his salary
08:02this coming
08:04season and next year in millions oh yeah now the 2027 2028 number 62 that's a player option i'm guessing
08:16he's gonna opt into that like you're not gonna opt out of 62 million dollars hell no but they've got
08:24a very narrow window to make something out of this combination of guys and i hope it happens
08:32on paper i can see it but it's got to happen in real life flesh and blood on the court
08:38his ligaments
08:39his cartilage his sinews his bones his muscles have to cooperate to stay healthy if it does look out
08:47it's going to be a lot of fun for two years and then we can figure out do we pour
08:51more money into a
08:52then 35 year old anthony davis yeah we'll see we shall see but i like what i heard because what
09:01it says is
09:02a guy of that level of iq is seeing that what they are doing seems to be working yes getting
09:09the right
09:09pieces in place because to be honest with you before it seemed like whoever was doing the thing was lost
09:17yeah agree
