00:00Why would there be expectations to win?
00:02They just traded for Jalen Brown.
00:03He just spent eight years in L.A. the last year with Luka Doncic,
00:08one of the best players in the league.
00:09Who was unhealthy this entire season?
00:11Did they get out of the second round of the playoffs?
00:13Oh, that's right, they did.
00:14Without Luka, though.
00:14Okay, he's going to wind up going the last ten years of his career
00:18without a legitimate championship, without an MVP award,
00:21and I'm going to sit here and gloat and enjoy it.
00:23I'll do you one better.
00:24I'll do you one better.
00:25Here's a little tidbit for you.
00:26You don't want them in the postseason, though?
00:27I'll take them opening night.
00:29I'll take them in the postseason.
00:30I'm not afraid of the Sixers.
00:32I hope they're good.
00:33Number one, the Sixers have no depth.
00:35Number two, Joel Embiid does not play.
00:38Why would there be an expectation he's going to play now?
00:40So we have to excuse Joel Embiid from the conversation
00:43because he's never healthy.
00:45He's not going to play.
00:46That's fair.
00:46So you think a team that's now a Jalen Brown-led team,
00:51and that's all due respect to Tyrese Maxey,
00:52who's obviously a great player, so they've got a great backcourt.
00:56I don't take that away from them.
00:57VG Edgecombe's going to be a second-year player.
00:59I think he's going to be really good, but who knows
01:02because when's he going to get to shoot the ball?
01:04He's not.
01:05He just became a defensive player for them
01:09because no one's giving VG Edgecombe the ball.
01:11In any event, I'll tell you this.
01:13The Knicks still have the best starting five in basketball
01:15in the Eastern Conference for sure.
01:17They've got the most depth in the Eastern Conference for sure.
01:20They're defending champions,
01:22and I love the fact that loser LeBron chose Philadelphia
01:26because I've got a little tidbit for you.
01:28They reached out to the Knicks.
01:31They reached out to the Knicks.
01:32You know what the Knicks said to them?
01:33No, thank you.
01:34Click.
01:35Not interested this time around, big fella.
01:37Yep.
01:37Take your talents elsewhere
01:39because A, we don't want you.
01:41B, we don't need you.
01:42Yeah.
01:43And I love that about my New York Knickerbock.
