00:00and let's go with the first report now it's small on my screen um is this the one where they're
00:05saying they're not going to offer him anything close to the max yes that is one that is out there
00:09for the nba sorry about that guys yeah that's the one that's uh in that is not close to offering
00:15the max lebron because if he decides to do a retirement tour which a lot of people assume
00:20he'll do that's worth a lot of money you can raise ticket prices on certain games basically
00:25to nix playoff prices and people will pay if if they know this is the last time lebron's going to
00:31be there that's both home on the road trust me if you're if you're in the east and he stays
00:36in the
00:36west and he comes to the garden you know how much money you can get for lebron james tickets um
00:41so
00:42he's he's worth a lot of money and how much the team that gets him is worth so he could
00:46ask for
00:46the max for that reason and the word out there on the one hand is they're not going to offer
00:51him
00:51anything close to the max that's what's out there but then there's another report where they're
00:56saying that you have a team in the lakers who need to surround luca with more talent they appear
01:01to be uh very committed to keeping austin reeves as their future uh guard and running mate to go with
01:07luca well now there's another report out there as you see on the screen where there's now where
01:12the lakers are going to look to sign both lebron james and kevin love a veteran guy high basketball
01:19iq and in a playoff spot won't make a lot of the dumb mistakes that you saw the spurs make
01:25because how much of a heady player that he is now they still need a guy like mitchell robinson to
01:29be
01:30honest with you a rim running type of center that can that luca can have a lob threat to and
01:35there's
01:35a lot of other things they need but that to me is fascinating and it comes down to what do
01:40you
01:40believe what do you really believe and for the first time in his career would lebron be open
01:46to taking less money and if lebron goes and looks at it and goes i can't get the money that
01:51i like
01:51does he continue to play at all could lebron just walk away with no retirement tour is it really all
01:57about his ego we don't know but this lakers thing to me is fascinating because we just saw what the
02:02knicks did we know that the spurs aren't going anywhere we know the thunder aren't going anywhere
02:07and we know yannis is going somewhere okay he's not going to stay with milwaukee and that's probably
02:13going to happen by the draft where if he goes to boston that's a problem for everybody if he goes
02:18to miami i don't know how much of a problem it is immediately but there would be uh but obviously
02:24the power structure in the nba then changes and then the other part that appears to be out there
02:30is that if lebron does not go back to the lakers and you've just seen basically one report saying
02:35if he's coming back he's coming back for a lot less money the other one says he'll be back and
02:39have
02:39a guy he won a championship with so it's really a lot of things a lot of smoke out there
02:43he would
02:44then go north in california and try to go with the wars and yes that would be a very old
02:48team
02:49but tell me you don't tune in to watch curry lebron and draymond you do now i don't know if
02:55they can
02:55win a championship but they become must see and you're not going to outthink that team so this whole
03:00thing has been very very fascinating and where lebron goes it does move the needle whether we like it
03:06or not he is the best basketball player to ever live and the best player we've ever seen with
03:11jordan a distant second that's what we know okay that's i just speak on the facts okay he's the goat
03:17okay he's number one and then you have jordan number two kareem number three okay magic number four
03:24curry number five that is the top five okay i hear brunson in my ear brunson uh kobe is is
03:30in the top
03:3110. shaq is in the top 10. will is in the top 10. i'm gonna tell you okay i'll say
03:38it again okay i'm
03:39not hot i'll walk this through i'm gonna tell you my 10 right now then off the top of my
03:43head i had
03:43my five down now i gotta fill in the rest okay lebron jordan okay kareem magic curry because of how
03:53much
03:53he changed the game that's my top five okay all right six i'll go wilt i go kobe i go
04:04yeah no russell's not there i go will i go kobe i go
04:10no kd will go then go bird there i don't go bird there bird no kd is ahead of bird
04:16though
04:16um i go shaq there yeah shaq i go duncan and then i go oscar robertson and that's my top
04:2310.
04:24that's my top 10. that's my top 10. okay that's my top 10 player okay bill russell is in the
04:32top 15.
04:32okay he never played for the record just since we're since i'm on this uh tangent i can just do
04:37it um
04:38bill russell never played with less than five other hall of famers so you talk about lebron and a super
04:42team you talk about anybody else with a super team yeah you can't do that and bird is somewhere
04:47right there as well larry bird longevity plays a role in that he had the bad back because he decided
04:52to do his own driveway like an idiot but anyway getting back to the point lebron situation okay
04:59and and these people go lebron's go yes lebron's go and bill russell is in 11 or 12 yes who
05:04you play
05:05with matters he's the greatest winner and then i also don't have hey to help you robert or he has
05:09how
05:09many rings i don't have him in the top 10 since it's about ring um okay i don't have i
05:13don't have
05:14him there either okay if that makes you happy you know because otherwise i could do that okay i put
05:18kerr there any guy out there with just a bunch of rings i don't have ron harper there he has
05:22a bunch
05:22of rings i don't have robin right there he has a bunch of rings let's stop with this okay let's
05:26stop with this okay lebron's to go and where he goes is going to be interesting i think he's going
05:31to
05:31end up staying with the lakers and i do think the lakers if they make the right moves with the
05:34center
05:35spot will have a real chance of maybe being in the mix to win it
