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.
