An interesting development is on the horizon: Kawhi Leonard, Ja Morant or Trae Young are backup options for the Miami Heat in case Giannis Antetokounmpo falls through to Boston. Can the boys see this as an option for the Heat?
Transcript
00:00I got something that'll make Leroy's head explode.
00:02What?
00:03This is a report yesterday on the Mark Stein line.
00:06This is from Jake Fisher.
00:08And he said, we'll begin with a rather significant development in the nation's capital.
00:13I've been told by various sources that in addition to the LA Clippers, Kawhi Leonard
00:18and Memphis is John Moran.
00:22Wizards point guard.
00:23And Trey Young has emerged as another, quote, big fish backup option for the Miami Heat
00:34in an event that Boston is outbid for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
00:38No, no, absolutely not.
00:42No, no.
00:45I don't buy that at all.
00:47First of all, we've already had an issue with the traffic cones, the Olay twins.
00:57Oh, man.
00:57This guy's the Olay king.
01:13If, like, all I need is a point guard who's going to have an ass in his face the whole
01:20game, just getting back down.
01:23Like, come on.
01:24You see the point guards in the East?
01:27Who's Trey going to guard?
01:29And guess what?
01:30Here's the other problem.
01:33He may be able to score 30, but when your team needs you to score 30, you can't go out
01:40there and have a dud.
01:41We can't put ourselves in that situation where, like, we did it for the last two years.
01:47Well, when Tyler comes back.
01:49I got a hard time believing the Heat would go after somebody like Trey Young.
01:55I just got to think that they got too many.
01:57You were asking last year.
01:58I was intrigued.
01:59There's things that intrigue me about it, but he's up for a contract, you know, and
02:05then, like, you saw Atlanta, how much better they were without him this year.
02:08You've already you've heard for a year.
02:10The rumors like, oh, people really don't like playing with him.
02:13He's not.
02:13He's not a fun player to play with.
02:15Even with him getting a lot of assists.
02:17It's a lot of stat hunting.
02:19And then you saw how Atlanta took off after they traded him.
02:22I just and then I just think about how Spoh doesn't like trickery.
02:26And I think about how much he is annihilated him in the playoffs and done a good job.
02:32I just I don't know.
02:34I got a hard time believing that's where they're going to go.
02:36You know, I just I don't I don't buy it.
02:39I don't buy it.
02:40You know, no, no disrespect to Jake Fisher.
02:43I'm sure he's got well-placed sources with the Wizards or whatever that are saying.
02:46Yeah, it could be out there.
02:50Um, I don't buy that one.
02:52The John Moran one intrigues me, obviously.
02:57What?
03:00Kawhi is another one I don't buy either.
03:01What?
03:03I don't buy Kawhi Leonard.
03:04I think Kawhi Leonard is staying out in the West.
03:06I don't think Kawhi Leonard is coming over here.
03:08Kawhi Leonard has won his championships.
03:09He very clearly wants to live out West.
03:11He has two championships.
03:11Two championships, two finals MVPs.
03:15I just don't I don't know.
03:16I don't buy it.
03:17I don't buy Kawhi Leonard is going to going to leave L.A.
03:20I would much I would much more believe he goes to the Warriors, you know, like, you
03:25know, the Warriors trade Jimmy's contract for him and he goes to play with Steph or he
03:29goes to the Lakers.
03:31I just got a hard time believing Kawhi Leonard is going to go across the country when big
03:36reason like he left Toronto.
03:38He's like, I want it.
03:39He wanted to be in L.A.
03:40It was a huge talking point back.
03:42He wants to go back home.
03:43He wants to go home.
03:44And I got a hard time believing he's going to leave home.
03:46He's going to leave and go.
03:47So now he might leave the Clippers because I don't know where this this aspiration scandal
03:50goes to L.A.
03:51But yeah, I could see it even if he was go to this, the sun, like the sun's like, I
03:56don't
03:56know.
03:56I got a hard time believing he's going to up and go to the other side of the country to
04:00come to the Miami heat unless he is, you know, he's got some revitalization and like
04:06wants to re energize his stock with like Team USA and he wants to play under Spoh.
04:11So I just don't, I don't see it.
04:13I don't get it.
04:13It doesn't, it doesn't seem to line up with the point in his career that he's at.
04:17I think he's, it's like, all right, I got a couple more years in me.
04:20You know, I'm going to go ahead on and get one more contract.
04:23I don't think anybody knows what he's thinking either too.
04:25There's too much Kawhi smoke for me to be like, nobody knows what he's thinking.
04:30Right.
04:30He barely talks.
04:32Yeah.
04:32I don't know.
04:33Now it was up.
04:33We're going to say, Oh, Kawhi could be a consideration for my really.
04:37Yeah.
04:37I just, I don't know.
04:38I've heard all that Kawhi stuff that's been out there.
04:40Bill Simmons said another thing yesterday, which kind of also makes me feel like he's
04:43throwing darts more at this stuff.
04:46The more that he yaps about it, he's been flapping his gums a little bit too much about
04:49it.
04:50He's like, yeah, you know, Kawhi can be rerouted to the heat as like a third team in the
04:55Giannis Jalen Brown thing.
04:57I'm like, what?
04:59And so like Jalen Brown would end up with the LA Clippers.
05:02And I'm just like, I don't know, dude, you seem like you're kind of throwing, throwing
05:07whoppers at this one.
05:08I don't get it.
05:09I don't, I don't, I don't believe the Kawhi Leonard stuff.
05:12First of all, I don't think Kawhi Leonard is going to leave the Clippers unless they
05:17dissolve his contract, unless that happens.
05:20So like if, if you have an investigation hanging over a guy, you know, I know the, the NBA doesn't
05:25really, you know, like to disclose all the details of their investigation.
05:29Adam.
05:33But I don't know.
05:34Like, wouldn't you, wouldn't you deduce that this whole thing would need a conclusion before
05:39that, you know, if you could trade him or not.
05:41I don't even know what it has to do with his ability to play.
05:46It doesn't have anything to do with his ability to play, but you know, if you circumvent the
05:49salary cap, the idea would be, he would have to have his contract voided.
05:52And then he would, he would be a free agent instead of being able to trade him.
05:57I think it would have more to do with the team and the cap.
06:01See, here's, what's crazy.
06:04When you look at the heat situation and them nullifying the Terry Rozier contract, or he
06:11has to give that money back.
06:12Do the heat get that under the cap?
06:14No.
06:14Right?
06:15So if we go out West, how, like, well, the idea would be, if you nullify the contract,
06:23do they get the money under the cap?
06:26I don't know.
06:27I don't know.
06:27You see what I'm saying?
06:27I don't know what their punishment would be, but I don't, I don't think that they, basically
06:31they would just lose Kawhi Leonard for nothing.
06:32I would assume that's what's probably the punishment is.
06:34You probably like, they would get fined.
06:36But what about the cap?
06:37Like they could, like they say, we were going to sign him anyway.
06:39Let's get cap room.
06:40Well, it might be a blessing in disguise.
06:42It might be, but there's, you know, it depends on just because you lose it doesn't mean that
06:46they, they're all the way.
06:48I don't know.
06:48I'd have to look at what their cap.
06:49You see what I'm saying?
06:50Cause that would seem like a blessing and not a penalty.
06:54Sure.
06:54But also like, it depends.
06:56Like, again, I'd have to look at their cap, but like, let's say, for example, I did that
06:59with the OKC Thunder, right?
07:01And let's say that they tampered with Jalen Williams just because I lost his cap number.
07:06Right.
07:06Doesn't mean that all of a sudden I could just go sign a $40 million player because they use bird
07:10rights to sign him.
07:11Right.
07:11So you don't, you don't just get that.
07:13Like, oh, this, this big, maybe they do, but I don't, I couldn't, I couldn't say without
07:18looking at their cap.
07:19The penalty should be because you tried to usurp the salary cap and tried some shenanigans
07:26that not only do you lose the player, but that money that you were going to pay him counts
07:31against your cap.
07:32R.V.
07:33Rich says the Rozier money becomes Christmas money, not usable for the cap that could spend
07:36on anything else.
07:38Yeah.
07:38I mean, like, look, it doesn't matter.
07:40It like the damage is already done.
07:41I mean, I'm glad, you know, Mickey Harrison's a gazillionaire.
07:44So he gets, you know, his $26 million back.
07:46Good for him.
07:47But basketball wise, it's really of no use to the heat.
07:50They got completely screwed in this.
07:51And that's that.
07:53That's the, there's no other way to put it.
07:55So it's very, very annoying, but I've made my points on it.
07:58Plenty.
07:59You know, guys, you know, I don't want to, I don't want to bore Brittany with it again.
08:02Cause she thinks I already have a mental issue against Adam Silver, just me specifically
08:08or, I can see the look when I brought it up.
08:11I can see the look.
08:12She's like, Oh, here he goes.
08:13You know, here he goes.
08:14I think it's just time to let it go.
08:16I think we've, we've entered a new time of the off season and, and, you know, pandering
08:23for, for Giannis.
08:24And I think it's time to put the Terry Rozier stuff to rest.
08:28I would like to let some stuff go if I didn't feel so screwed, which does it make you feel
08:35better when you, when you talk about it?
08:37It does make me feel better.
08:39Actually, to be honest with you, it really does make me feel better because I don't know.
08:42You know, I don't think I feel worse.
08:43You talking about Trey.
08:45Uh, yeah, I just wanted to bring it up.
08:47It's the thing that's out there.
08:47I know you don't want Trey Young.
08:48Who wants Trey Young?
08:50Who wants Trey Young?
08:50I don't know.
08:51That's why he's on.
08:52He's literally on the Wizards for that reason.
08:54Nobody wants Trey Young.
08:55Nobody wants Trey Young.
08:55If you're on the Wizards.
08:56Why are you making it sound like I'm the guy that is being crazy here?
09:02No.
09:03I don't think you're being crazy.
09:04Nobody wants Trey.
09:05I don't.
09:06He's right where he belongs.
09:08The Wizard.
09:08With the Wizards.
09:09With the Wizards.
09:10He's right.
09:11Yeah, you're right.
09:11Because they're the same team.
09:12Remember how many times they extended?
09:14What's his name?
09:15Bradley Beal.
09:17Yeah, Bradley Beal.
09:18You would say, ooh, Bradley Beal.
09:20Bradley Beal.
09:21Sign the extension.
09:22Sign the extension.
09:23That guy ain't playing no basketball.
09:25I thought it was shocking.
09:26I saw reports last week that he was going to get a three-year extension with him.
09:29I'm like, for what?
09:30With who?
09:31With the Wizards.
09:32Oh, Trey Young?
09:32Yeah.
09:33I was like, really?
09:35See, that's what's ruining basketball right now.
09:37What's ruining basketball is why, as soon as it's an opportunity, everybody goes, where's
09:46my extension?
09:47Right.
09:48And I'm like, you ain't even been playing basketball.
09:51You've never been on my team.
09:52What am I signing you an extension for?
09:53Football is different.
09:54You know, like, if you're Giannis, obviously, when the Heat trade for Giannis, it's coming
09:58with the idea that Heat are giving Giannis a $300 million extension.
10:01Like, that's, that's, but he's Giannis.
10:03He's not Trey Young.
10:04He's Giannis.
10:04I mean, my problem is that everybody that, that, that, that does this in football, you
10:11can sign a contract this year, have a raggedy season next year.
10:16We got to talk.
10:17You got to renegotiate.
10:18We get some of that money back.
10:19We, we going to redo your contract.
10:21Where, because this money's guaranteed, I don't know why these teams are so hell-bent on
10:29re-signing a guy for an extension two years or a year down the line.
10:34I'm with you.
10:35Like, it's crazy.
10:36I'm with you.
