00:00All right, David, spin some jams here and tell us what we're doing.
00:06Oh, goody.
00:07This is the segment we get to talk about teams that actually do things.
00:11And it's John Tesh.
00:15Can't beat it.
00:17Just one second.
00:19Can you imagine these people paid to see a concert?
00:23They had no idea it was simply the NBA on NBC theme song.
00:27This is an actual song of his.
00:31Yeah, well.
00:32The best is when you watch the video and how intense the symphony is.
00:36Right.
00:36It's like, guys, it's Bulls vs. Blazers.
00:38It's not that real.
00:39Yeah, they're all into it.
00:41Wait till you see the guy on the little violin or whatever.
00:43I mean, these people, they look like they're coked out of their mind.
00:46All right, David, go ahead with the news of the day.
00:48Only thing missing was a LeBron jersey.
00:52You got to see it.
00:53Have you seen it?
00:54Yes.
00:54It's amazing.
00:55It's theater.
00:57So there is a team getting frustrated in the Giannis sweepstakes.
01:02The Detroit Pistons.
01:05They have to be in the sweepstakes.
01:07It is the Boston Celtics.
01:09So we all remember when the Boston, I'm sorry, when the Milwaukee Bucks owner gave the deadline of the draft,
01:16basically, is when he wanted this done.
01:18Yeah.
01:19Well, offers have been thrown out there.
01:20We all know this.
01:21We've all heard of this.
01:22Chris Haynes reports, though, that the situation can now drag into July, and Boston is frustrated, according to Jake Fisher
01:31of the NBA Insider, says the Celtics are becoming frustrated with the entire trade situation.
01:37Not only is it taking longer than expected, but now it's fracturing the relationship between Jalen Brown and the Celtics.
01:44And if the trade doesn't happen, how do you repair that?
01:47Wah.
01:48The other thing the Celtics are frustrated by, no, Jalen Brown can kick rocks.
01:52You're getting paid 60 mil a year.
01:54Shut up.
01:55The Celtics are annoyed because Giannis' people want a seat at the table.
01:59Correct.
01:59And this is not unfounded.
02:01It's not that it's never happened before.
02:03But certain franchises, they don't bend the knee.
02:06And that's definitely Boston.
02:07Right.
02:08Now, it's happened one other time, and when they were doing the Porzingis trade, KP's people wanted a seat at
02:15the table.
02:15They viewed him as the piece to get a championship.
02:17They were right.
02:19I don't know.
02:20I think a lot of this, Milwaukee's got to make the biggest trade decision they've made since trading Lew Alcindor.
02:27It's okay for this to drag on.
02:29And if you're the Celtics, wah.
02:31Oh, you don't want the reps there?
02:33Then get a lousy player.
02:34I mean, guys, this is the world we're living in.
02:37Like, oh, Jalen Brown, your feelings are wah.
02:40You got $300 million from the organization.
02:42Cry elsewhere.
02:43Use a few dollar bills to wipe your tears.
02:46And maybe next time be better in game seven.
02:50So next year, I'll bring this up.
02:52Since you brought his name up, I was not going to do this second, but you brought up Chris Steps
02:56Porzingis.
02:57Yeah.
02:58I just want to have a conversation on what his future looks like.
03:01I don't think there is one.
03:01Because he only played 32 games last year, 42 the year before.
03:05Or mystery, disease, NBA finals.
03:08Correct.
03:08The report is that you probably see three years, 75, the third year being a team option.
03:14But it's tough with the injuries, man.
03:16Unless that team's in Spain.
03:18No, I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot ball.
03:20Has he reached a point where he's going and seeking doctors overseas?
03:24I mean, no.
03:24Secret trips.
03:25Look, man.
03:27KP can fill a role for you, but I'm not paying $25 million for it.
03:31Now, if I'm mid-mid-season, he's an expiring.
03:34I take him on as a piece that can help me?
03:37Maybe.
03:38There's no world I'm doing a multi-year commitment.
03:40It's worth the risk for one year.
03:42For half a year.
03:42But I'm not going to be the team to pay that.
03:45It's silly.
03:46We've reached silly season.
03:47No, you're desperate if you're doing that.
03:48Well, speaking of silly season, it is the draft.
03:51So we have silly season in the draft.
03:54Misinformation everywhere.
03:56One of those teams, the Nets.
03:58They have befuddled the league right now because no one knows what they're going to do.
04:02They are drafting number six in the draft.
04:05They don't know what they're going to do.
04:07Correct.
04:07Look at last year.
04:08They took a guy that wasn't even on half the people's draft boards.
04:12There has been Darius Acuff has been connected to them.
04:15Nate Ament has been connected to them.
04:17The Tennessee forward.
04:18He's a freshman, right?
04:20Yes.
04:21He's a stick figure.
04:22And now people are connecting Adai Mara to them.
04:26Why would you do that at six?
04:27Because the Nets are attempting.
04:29The Nets are drafting with their head up their ass.
04:31I need that to happen, David, because that's a non-Western conference team.
04:34That would be.
04:34If he goes to the East, you win lunch.
04:36He goes to the West, I win lunch.
04:38The Nets are a broken franchise, David.
04:41That's all.
04:42They're idiots.
04:42They're what the Clippers used to be.
04:44And I think Adai Mara is cashing in on what you're seeing.
04:47What happened with the Spurs?
04:49And they're thinking he could be the next Wimby.
04:51And we can get this super tall guy who could do a lot of things.
04:55I wouldn't recommend that, but he would be in the East, so I'm fine.
04:59You'd win.
05:00But the Nets have just.
05:01They're terrible.
05:02Because I saw Acuff, and I was like, well, is he really?
05:06He'll just be asking for a trade in a few years.
05:08But sure, why not?
05:10So another team might be involving themselves in the Trey Murphy sweepstakes.
05:16Not named the Detroit Pistons.
05:18That is the Golden State Warriors.
05:20According to reports, they checked in on this during the deadline, trying to give them Kaminga first-round picks.
05:26And now they're checking back in on Trey Murphy.
05:30Is that a better idea for the Warriors than this whole LeBron stuff?
05:32Right, right.
05:33And Rico checked in on Sade.
05:35What are we talking about?
05:37What could they possibly offer?
05:39The Golden State Warriors are about to win the Al Bundy Award.
05:42Because they're still stuck at their days of being great at Polk High and scoring four touchdowns.
05:47And they're still.
05:48Hey, remember when we were the Splash Brothers and we did all of this stuff?
05:51And it's like, guys, it's been a long time ago.
05:54It was time to break up that team years ago.
05:57And I'll ask you again.
05:58What do they have to offer when it has been discussed that the price for Trey Murphy is going to
06:04be exceptionally high?
06:05What's the centerpiece of that deal?
06:08Who?
06:09They already offloaded Kaminga.
06:12What are you going to do, AirPod?
06:14No, I don't really think they have much.
06:18I'm trying to think.
06:20They have nothing.
06:22Who the hell?
06:23Why the hell would New Orleans want that?
06:24Jimmy Butler would burn it.
06:25He'd burn the Smoothie King Center down.
06:27He'd show up with a stick of dynamite and blow the arena.
06:30That's the only thing that they really have.
06:32The answer is no.
06:33Is Jimmy Butler.
06:35Right.
06:35Which means you don't have anything at this point.
06:37So my question, though, for the New Orleans Pelicans is what do they look like next year?
06:43Because DeJounte Murray is on the market.
06:45Zion is not on the market, according to reports.
06:47What do they look like?
06:48I'll tell you what.
06:49Take your dog for a long walk and look down.
06:52That's what they look like.
06:53And it'll be somewhere in the grass.
06:56Let's get rid of this franchise.
06:58It is an absolute train wreck.
07:00It's almost like Joe Dumars and Troy Weaver have been sent to destroy them.
07:05It's some kind of plan to get them to Seattle.
07:08I don't know.
07:09They're terrible.
07:13So?
07:13I'm sorry.
07:15No, no, no.
07:16You nailed it.
07:18He's right, you know.
07:19I didn't want to say it again, but yeah.
07:22That was my thought.
07:23You know what they remind me of?
07:24The old Charlotte Bobcats.
07:27Bob Johnson.
07:28Sagana Jopp.
07:29Gerald Wallace is your best player.
07:33Adam Morrison.
07:35That's the modern Bobcat.
07:37A Pelican.
07:39Just a hopeless effing endeavor.
07:41You know, that team will, they just will never be the same until they get the name Jazz back.
07:48Don't get me started.
07:49Which means they'll never be the same again because they're never getting the name back.
07:51All the things they could have done, they chose a Pelican.
07:54Good God.
07:55Keep going.
07:56That is your NBA Fast Break 97.1.
