Lying ly three times dirty ass you but um we got the immediate reaction and I uh came home I I devoured Twitter a little bit had some other stuff going on last night um you know of course I was at the game I had my uh one
Of my mentees from a solid Media Group uh my guy Josh McCrae he was with me 15 old kid man he’s he’s in the car with me I’m calling media members I’m calling some of my league plugs he was like [ __ ] this media [ __ ] real he’s at the game
And all of us are like scrummed up like little kids trying to figure out what’s going on what’s next with the Grizzlies Stephen Adams and he had a good time last night being a part of all that um but that is not what you guys jumped on
In the middle of the afternoon to be a part of you guys want to hear some hot takes man on uh Stephen Adams uh this will be a red pill edition if you want to politically correct um thoughts on that catch me on somebody else’s show or
Go listen to one of the several um other Memphis media members bloggers content creators podcasters Etc they will give you a much cleaner uh version of their interpretation of this trade um my immediate reaction to it hey before we get started let’s bring Chris in oh yeah
Forgot Chris is there I can’t see the backstage so uh yeah okay I got you here here he comes one second about to bring him in right now but yeah my man Christian Ingram re from from the uh Santa Sal podcast himself from no Bluffin podcast from the soon to come are we

On man man first of all I’m trying to fix my face from being so big next to y’all y’all know all position perfectly but but I’m good the laptop in your lap literally right right right my my uh my webcam is in an extra XD man but I’m
Glad to be on with y’all bro oh yeah man I said Kenny who else to bring on other than like I like I say all the time Kenny I see so much the pettiness in Christian man just reminds me so much of myself man yeah man he’s I don’t have I
Don’t have a big bro little bro relationship with him man I literally see so but I do see so much of myself man I just I envy his youth Chris is about 10 years younger than me you know he’s a petty he’s a part of the petty machete family is that what you’re
Saying yeah and I just I just I just see that pettiness man I just wish I could just I I just want to be the batter in his back man it just propels him sometimes but I just see I just see I see so much of myself man when the
Pettiness was just something I got off on for sure but Christian I am excited to bring you on I sat back cheering cheering for you man because I told Kenny a lot of stuff that I argue about man I don’t have time to argue about this [ __ ] no more and I’m cheering for
You as you and you was standing on this you were standing on this point to standing on this narrative and I totally agreed with you and I was like yeah Chris is right you know I mean he knows who he’s talking about you were saying that it was strange that we weren’t
Seeing Stephen Adams on the Grizzy Sidelines uh doing his rehab recovery and then we started getting people playing the semantics game of well he’s he’s recovered but he’s not rehabed and and he’s doing that at home or New Zealand or wherever the hell this man
Was at and you was like no I’m not buying that it’s odd that this dude’s not here everybody’s here why is Stephen ABS that here Ortho South almost got fired off of this stuff man everybody’s like oh he’s not training he’s not rehabing with ortho South yeah like
What’s going on man he’s in Cali where’s he at Yeah man so um yeah it’s it’s uh all these things are happening and you’ve done your Victory lap today Christian before we get started into the actual trade itself let’s I’m going to allow you this moment to get your [ __ ]
Off uh on that whole take if you notice the screenshot for this uh show today it has Jasmine Bane looking like he feel some type of way of seeing Stephen Adams and Derrick Rose hug and embrace on the only game of the season that Stephen
Adams decided to show up on which was a road game in Chicago so uh Christian get your stuff off man go do do your thing Chris in first of all let me let me do my uh my best Anthony s press you dastardly inels that beened by he said incels wow they’re typically
The same person man most of the people want to sit and argue are incels because there something about arguing with dudes it just don’t do it for me no more man but go ahead I’m getting there man I’m getting there but you know I was telling Kenny earlier sometime I just got time
You know depending on what the day is but man like I went on this and and I’m two for two right now I give y’all um a little background I’m two for two on my Grizzly conspiracies right now the first one came when Dylan Brooks left
Out of um the the media day not the media the end of season media day and he didn’t show up immediately I’m like bro he got some news that he did not like and he ain’t feeling it like he ain’t rocking with it like that and next thing
You know you got people caping talking about oh Dylan you know he just he didn’t know it was gonna be the day so he went ahead and did that early he was the longest 10 year Grizzly at that time you know so I can’t can’t really rock
With that but I was right about that because we seen what happened at the end of last season what came out and things have you this time I went on probably about a 15 20 minute conspiracy Soliloquy on on on on on no bluffing just talking about like looking at the
Tea Leaves bro like it was just really odd to me and I peeped this probably around maybe December was when I really first started saying like Okay like he ain’t on the bench at all I ain’t seen him in no pictures and then next thing you know we get to January and every
Everybody else is starting to get hurt but they immediately with the team and so you know I put a few tweets out here and there but I don’t know man I just something was looking really weird when that whole team was basically uh injured and steo still wasn’t around so I put a
Tweet out there just thinking like man look I made the joke bro like I said you got John Mor here with a with a Miry bubble coat and a sling on you got Marcus SM with a Gucci finger splint you got uh Desmond Bane with some Nike Air
Tech crutches on like everybody out there had on design you know whatever that man that man man that man’s uh boot had a Air Max bubble in the bottom of that yeah man some jimy Neutron stuff and um you know it was just weird to me that that he wasn’t around you didn’t
Hear nobody talking about him you know a lot of us you know we tap into Verno and ground C the media because they’re closer to an extent with the team and so you heard nothing from there and it’s like all right man something going on
And so you go back to just replaying all this stuff how the situation got to where we at now in your head and it’s like okay it’s got to be some friction there because it’s no reason why Stephen Adams is still like away from this team
And so I put that tweet out man it went you know lowkey viral I I don’t pay for Twitter so I ain’t get a check for it but it was really odd thatter I need to do that I need to do that because literally a game or two
After that you start to see a lot of people as well bringing this up and steo pop up in Chicago and then that picture obviously that’s the thumbnail of the day show happens and it’s like all right bro all right all right I a I ain’t
Crazy now so yeah man that’s you know I I like I said I kind of got my [ __ ] off a little bit already on Twitter just kind of laughing and joking but like sometime we just gotta like think like use our brain bro like sometime they
Gonna tell us things that it’s PR like they are they’re paid to do these things but if you just just just put these little points like you always do you know on your show together you can start to realize that this stuff has been in
The works for a while now yeah I think this something we we’ve kind of we’ve kind of forgotten the timeline you know what I mean um as far as steo is concerned something that I tend to lean towards is um when a guy gets traded How are um how are the players
Reacting you know that’s the kind of stuff that always makes me like look into what’s going on and I see um jiren yesterday now jiren is a diplomat right I think if you asked jiren jiren what do you think about the inconsistency of Memphis weather jiren’s G be like well man it’s
Just one of the beauties of Memphis man you know you never know what you’re GNA get he’s going to give you that diplomatic answer right and I’m not saying that jiren is lying but he’s gonna that’s I think every relationship you have with people you can pull out
Good and you can pull out bad about them right and jiren’s gonna pull out the best and any you ask about anybody he’s gonna say a good thing no nobody’s gonna give there and say I thought Adam I thought Stephen was a clown like you know not that’s not gonna happen but um
I haven’t seen much social media traffic from the game from when it comes down to no broken hearts no what no none of that no I don’t see any broken hearts broken dishes broken nothing promises no song lyrics no pictures nothing I haven’t seen any of that from Stephen Adam so
That kind of stuff typically when T when tus was gone when Dylan was gone we saw that from guys um I haven’t seen any of that at all and I I think a lot of stuff this is something else that happened about a year ago now probably about six
Seven months ago I think people kind of tottally forgot about about when John Moran had his first incident right the first time with the gun and then all the little hit pieces came out right it was so much stuff that came out that there’s certain elements of that that I think
We’ve kind of forgotten about you know I mean and one of those elements was that a team Source said um that there was in in-house discussion about guys going out too much and that after that J got still got in trouble the same night or whatever and and and and that that
Person felt way about that that person was Stephen Adams now I I don’t know if I’m my signals cross I think that that was I think it was like like process of elimination we kind of knew it was Stephen Adams was I don’t know if it was
Assumed to be him well I might just got inside information I just kind of spit out and would really think about it but that person was Stephen Adam I can’t remember how it went down I don’t know if it was public known that it was him but that person was Stephen Adams who
Went to the media right um yeah um some ink says he felt like steo was forced to be around the team in Chicago for trade per I want to say he lives there maybe and he probably was there to meet with them to talk about what the
Next phase looks like so I don’t think you’re too far off on that um but that there was a breach in the Brotherhood or the fraternity of this team and that’s something I talked about yesterday on my show with uh with CJ hurt and also today on Jason and John that there’s a
Impenetrable culture with this team no matter what you feel about uh Taylor Jenkins I’m not a big Taylor Jenkins fan I don’t really think he’s anything special about him I I don’t think he’s going to be the coach when his team gets to that Championship level which makes
Him like 99% of the other coaches that have came through the NBA right so there’s not really a super negative in uh implication against him but uh one thing I must say is that they have created a culture there where not just one through 15 but one through 30 is a
Brotherhood and that goes down to the Memphis Grizzlies and Memphis hustle you know I mean there’s a strange culture man you know I mean where Matthew hurt comes up and and Jak laravia of all people is sharing him on like that’s the last you think Jake laravia like oh crap
Like that that by do ganger not this dude going off but you see this comaraderie this support for these guys but that’s a culture that I believe Taylor Jenkins is a part of right but but when the story like that comes out that is a breach that is a uh a
Violation of that culture that has been in Memphis for a long time you know I mean there have been a lot of stories that I’ve heard about things that go on in lock in the locker room or happen in practice those things do not make it main mainstream bro those that
Organization does not have leaks you know what I mean and if you remember when Chris Wallace was here we heard about uh uh what’s the little crazy dude that did the uh the Sham God got the fighting with the preacher got the fighting with Gary Temple all that heard
Everything K Parson was out there running his mouth under Chris Waters all that stuff was happening but this Zack kimman Taylor Jenkins regime we don’t know [ __ ] about [ __ ] bro you hear stuff it don’t make it to it don’t get mainstream right and for Stephen Adams
To get out and did what he did gotta think about we haven’t seen Stephen Adams on that team since it’s since that happened so we don’t really know how that affected the culture or the chemistry or anything because we haven’t seen it right you know what I mean so
But I think that definitely played I believe that caused a uh a breach man in in the trust overall Trust of this team especially when that breach involves you and the franchise player who at the time was johnar and will be johnar you know what I mean so right I think I think
That mattered bro I think that mattered a lot um and also on the timeline since then this injury thing was nasty man this is a this is a nasty story you’re talking about a guy who had a legit injury and there was there was some debate about how that how that injury
Should be handled whether that’s holistic therapy know these type of things or surgery and there’s been different stories about well well Steve was insisting we do this or the G is you know a ball was dropped somewhere in that situation and there in human nature there’s a there is some type of
Grievance it’s of course it is you know what I mean like there was if if all that happened was the grizz’s gave him bad information or he feels like the Grizz gave him bad information or the grizz’s feel like that he could have got Sergey a long time ago and he
Didn’t or there was a fear or there was a prolonger it just took too long there was extended time you’re Stephen Adams has not played for the grizz’s for over a year and he won’t play again even if he kept him we would not see him until October November at the earliest you
Know what I mean so that’s a long time bro there’s almost two years of basketball you would go without seeing uh Stephen Adam on the court so there there was a problem there man that that that’s something that really happened and uh bre you on the side that’s taking
Stephen Adams side that says hey the Grizz should have insisted he had surgery they should have forced him to have surgery or you on Stephen or you on the Griz side and say hey this dude screwing around talking about he want to roll around in juices and berries until
He feel better and in the lake minona and sit in whatever razu was was taking a bath in he he was he wants to go to to West m that West M to to the hot springs and sitting in the purifying Waters whatever whatever side you’re on of it
There’s there are two sides of that situation right so um that also was on the timeline man another thing that was on the timeline uh media day the Grizzy was like oh yeah Adams is back he’s practicing he’s good Steve Adams hey M where’ you get that from I ain’t ready
For [ __ ] B you know what I mean that that happened man that happened me and you called that at me like nah son nah bro and Kenny was on it real hard I was on like H they just a little excited Steve’s just a little Steve just being
Crazy old old steo steo I I said it from the beginning I said they’re just waiting for his knee to blow up that’s all they’re doing like you say that these knees are made out right now man they’re just waiting for his knee to blow up man what I said Chris you said
What you say these knees are made out of takis right now man got them Taki legs made out of takis let me ask you let me ask you this what if um you’ve kind of highlighted both of y’all kind of highlighted some different things man had to pull out my All Blacks New
Zealand uh rug man you get that shirt that’s that’s dope worldwide well man shout out shout out to all don’t get it twist man shout out to my boy ke with the Kiwi himself man you know aquam don’t play no games all right go ahead Kim if the players had come back and
Said like if the player if if that trust hadn’t been broken if that that Bond I guess or that code I guess hadn’t been broken inside the locker room and the players have been like no we’re good man bring them back do you think that that this this move still would have been
Made no he would have still been on his team I think that’s a major factor bro uh shout out to Chris Harrington I was listening to him today he was on uh Jeff Caulkin show like he is every day around 10 o’clock he said he thinks the number one
Factor is uncertainty like what is the health of Stephen Adams you know what I mean and you’re talking about having 20 something million dollars in between Stephen Adams and Brandon Clark’s contract and that’s a big risk you’re taking to bring both of those guys back and he said he thinks that Health
Uncertainty was probably number one as far as that goes wow and here’s something like here’s a narrative that’s going around there’s a big narrative going around about uh getting under the tax apron and all those type of things right all right so okay let’s let’s go
Down that path right all right right now today there is a true statement trading Stephen allam Depot who will not male Memphis Tennessee he will not eat a uh he will not get the Ronda Vu popcorn on the plane like that’s not happen he’s you’re not going to see him in Memphis
At all right he’s not going to see the amenities of Memphis Airport that’s not happening dud D will not play a game for the Grizzlies he a played a game for Houston he ain’t played the game since last year for Miami right that that buyout is probably gonna happen or
Whatever they’re trying to do no the Griz they might try to hold that dude and trade him Friday I mean next they don’t tell them what they’re we’ve seen them do this this what they did with Andre glla right so um um but probably this is what people
Are that’s true like that’s true right Trad try down today you’re under the apron the projected apron based on the roster you have now but you’re either on you’re on several there are several schools of logic about this whole situation you either believe that the grizz’s are there’s one narrative that I think
There’s a 1% chance of happened I hate to say 1% but I I’ll give you five there’s a 5% chance the GES are saying hey Brandon Clark is ahead of schedule statistically the Brandon Clark jiren Jackson Jr front Court uh has been phenomenal out the chart stats whatever
We’re just gonna roll this thing out with jiren and Brandon Clark you know this let’s fast forward into the future right we know it works we’ve seen it work let’s make the past be the future right I don’t think that’s happening all right then you have a train of thought
That’s like okay the grezes are going to continue to pay at their own with their season we’re going to get a top five six seven eight nine 10 6 through1 Republican land somewhere in that right we’re gonna draft our big man of the Future Let’s Roll right get go get our
Guy right Philip py from duke right whatever you know then there’s a thought of thinking that the grizz’s are gonna probably gonna make a trade somewhere between now in the beginning of the season for a true proven big man that’s somewhere in that age range around John
Jiren not quite 30 but maybe 20 you know somewhere in that range right there like a proven NBA center right and I think that’s the most logical thing to happen I think they’re going to add somebody that’s currently in the NBA I don’t think that the greez is going to
Fill in I don’t think they’re going to start open nights training camp with filipowski from dke like think I don’t think it’s some kid in college that just gonna be the star in the center right so this answers this question do y’all think a rookie or veteran big would be a
Better offseason Target uh veteran I don’t I don’t particularly think it’s gonna be an offseason move I think I think there’s a good chance of that Happ trade deadline trade deadline move I think it’s a very good chance to happens by trade deadline there are a lot of
Bigs whose names are being speculated around I said this yesterday I legitimately think that clim already kimman already has a deal in place I think it’s a deal in place too with another team I think there several deals on the table and I think that he had to
Basically go and they said we need more assets to make this work we got to have more assets so that’s when that that’s when this trade happen this because it may take more assets not particularly for that trade but to make other trades happen to get to make other moves that
That Mak some sense like if I might need a few more second rounders if I want to move Jak Arabia if I want to be if I want to move zier Williams I might not want to move move my own second round I might want to move Houston you know what
I mean so um that might be something that happens but um with like you said with there are several several big man or other rosters that you may bring in right I really want to get into the name dropping thing but there’s one name that
Would have me excited like run out of my front door right now like instant Championship Contender type yeah that’s a 611 Defensive Player of the Year candidate super athletic 24 years old and damn it I found out last night did him and job Mor the boys and play Au
Together let’s go man come on if you go get d claer man go hey I I came on Jason and John show and I said if the gries win the NBA championship I’m gonna stand on Bill Street snort a line of cocaine off of uh um what’s my guy’s name what’s
My guy’s name like super Grizz fan he made a declaration he went going to Nob games during the co stuff crap man look lightskinn guy white guy Fletch Fletch I said I will snort a line of cocaine off of fletch’s arm and would kiss a random white woman
In the mouth it’s the GES win the NBA championship hey hey hold on let me let me show de serious I am about this that sounds like a day bro what’s Fu up right now that sounds like a day man I’m getting them L up Chris right now
Bro sign me up you get a dude that’s gonna be like hey jiren go go out there and do whatever you need to do because I I can just like you can you go you go block shots on the perimeter you roam around I’m going just be down here rebounding blocking
Shots good luck if that’s our front Court to the rest of the league how does the money work though I mean Nick is in place Nick’s in line to make a [ __ ] ton of money next year that’s a good question you ask can St field first of
All you want to ask the question how do you get Nick claxon on your team right so in order to get Nick claxon on your roster you’re gonna have to uh or any like really big like that um you’re going to have to consider that oh that’s
Thing too for people saying this oh this is a tax thing right go find me a starting center in NBA that makes less than Stephen Al right so let’s let’s just make that a tot different conversation right okay so how do you make that deal work you have
To look at the totality of the roster right that’s hit this on Jason and John too all right what player on this roster I don’t want to say this because it’ll give it away what player on this roster have totally changed how you look at the 2025 2425
Season what six weeks ago huh Vince by farce Vince Williams Jr that’s the answer if I said play yours you would have said Vince and Gigi but I’m that really is the answer Vince and Gigi both of y’all gave the answers right six weeks ago how did you guys feel about
The wing rotation on this roster that had zier Williams David Ry Marcus Smart and uh and uh Jake laravia how did you feel about that Wing rotation six weeks I’ll bring this back to not even just six weeks ago the begin before the season started you had Chris Harrington
In studio yeah and y’all had a whole conversation y’all had a whole conversation about Marcus Smart right we said marus smart doesn’t work we said Mar yeah we said Mar too little and both of y’all said [ __ ] it’s over it’s over what we gonna do y David Ry is your is
Your defensive stopper that’s what we were saying that’s what we were and here comes this dude the six six4 and 68 if I asked y’all Wing Vince Williams right who’s like this incredible Wing scored 15 points game I thought he was 69 I thought he was 69ine what six 613 Wing Vince
Willams 612 Wing Vince Williams um but oh man you get Vince Williams a 64 6 fiveish uh Wing who’s just been effing incredible bro like both sides of the ball I’m watching this dude be the lead guard on offense and taking D dribble and get into the basket I’m like
Okay bro what is this in the middle of the season is still adding things to his game yeah steep back three yesterday for the first time I’m like the man the man the man is looking like we got Mel Bridges at home bro like Not Just Wings
At look like he’s looking like we got M Bridges at home and it’s wild how good he is all right so that was the thing right but check this out in the last four or five weeks however long it seems like these dudes just got good but in in
Seeing Vince Williams GG Jackson these two guys emerge as two solid eight n man rotation Wings if you want to go eight they’re in at eight you want to go go nine they’re in at nine right if we’re seeing those guys in merage as being is getting making Jake zier and Rody them
Dudes don’t even bother me no more you know what I mean I’m like hey don’t even bother me you you ask just goonna sit y’all little goofy ass down here somewhere I don’t care I’ve got my two Wings right I got a six9ine one and I
Got a 613 one in Vince Williams right so right apparently according to NK he’s actually 610 when he wears white socks and black black Sho hey that black shoe that black shoe white sock energy is real that’s real Psy real Psy goof Vince looks the better game he’s about to have
Bro when he’s out there he got some new shoes that he put the P night he had the shits on yesterday boy don’t match [ __ ] she like red and blue or some [ __ ] purple I this is the thing man listen like when I had when I had brev Knight
On on my show right brev was like I wouldn’t count out Vince as being your starter with with marus smart coming back of course you gotta pause because it’s brand it’s BR Knight saying it right so I was like all right I hear you
I’m just not there bro I am there man if if Vince Williams is my starting small forward next year I I’m 100% okay with that right based on what I’ve seen this year all right so gentlemen I’m G throw this out if V if if if I’m okay with
Vince Williams being my starting small forward how does that CH what does that change instantly let me ask you this does it make does it ask you something I ask you something I don’t believe in coincidences here’s the question I want to ask you all of a sudden it comes out
Today Lakers and Bucks are interested in Marcus Smart M I don’t believe in coincidences man you’ve been talking about it for a minute now so how do how do we get to Nick Claxton right you ask yourself how Expendable is Marcus Smart at this point if I’ve seen
The VIN because everybody everybody was crying everybody was crying about because margus smart 64 and Vin Williams 64 they just different right everybody was the same height you know what I mean when everybody’s been talking about vinces we need the bigger Wing out there right all right cool right but okay so
I’m fine with it if Vince Williams is your starting small forward it makes you wonder what is Marcus Smart at that point if he’s good enough to be your starting small forward so meaning Vince Williams it makes cause we were fine if Marcus Smart had to be your your lead Defender not particularly
Your small for so do you do you call a team okay so if if Nick claxon is going to eat your money up right if if you know he’s going to get a new deal this summer first of all when did the Griz say what level of they’re going to spend period nobody
Said last time I heard him talk I was told last night they don’t want to hit that second apron but they want to hit they’ll stay in the first has Zack kimman came out and said he I have not heard Zack clim last time I heard Zack
Kimman came out he said hey we we GNA do what we got to do that’s last I heard I was at Robert peris’s house the other day that new house out in uh what’s that new compound he built yeah yeah yeah that new jint you seen that [ __ ] Chris
Yeah man it’s ridiculous man damn I need to be his friend I was at his house that Ding yeah I wanted to make some changes to downtown hey hey get your [ __ ] get your [ __ ] off Big Dog hey big why the tax situation that’s a silly conversation bro this man has said
It before that he’s willing to spend right I’m not worried about saing how you get there this this how you get there right we because we worrying about money and salary and all that type of stuff next year if you bring in rookie Center or whatever you do right you’re
Still going to be paying Markus smart you’re still paying Luke Canard Luke Canard in essence will be your fifth guard next year right he’s your fifth guard you got John Morant Des Bane Marcus Smart Vince Williams is a guard SL forward and then you got Luke Canard he’d be a fifth guard
Right you’re gonna be paying him around $15 million or more because they’re probably gonna extend him right then you got Marcus Smart who’s going to be making like 15 that’s $30 million you’re going to be having those two guys what if I can trade both of those those dudes
Get my starting center and get another Wing who may be better than Vince who it might be a cooler dude just to bring out the b Off the Bench to be another resered Wing use GG more of a three four or whatever you’re doing get position
You’re trying to feel but you get Nick Claxton who will be that perfect big man that that is that big man is that Wing gonna be Dorian fin Smith in a perfect world hell yeah but it might be your other boy might be um O’Neal yeah it might be Ross O’Neal
It might be somebody like that but what I do that when I get rid of margus Smart’s contract but I get rid of Luke Canard and I get guys that can consolidate this roster and give me a big man that’s like you talking about dude that’s 24 years old man he’s like
24 25 same age as John M play a with J dude my nipples are erected right [Laughter] now now is that the only deal you can but then you become the but honestly don’t you become the worst shooting team in the entire league what you mean if
They lose if they lose Canard like who else you shoot I mean got the thing having a shooter that great on your team is cool but only if he’s on the court yeah you’re right it’s a luxury right it’s it’s not like do do I wanna do I
Want to sit and watch J and Bane sit down while Luke Canard is on the court with Marcus SM no I want I want some combination of all I want some combination of J Bane Marcus Smart GG not Gigi um Vince Williams on the court
At all time I don’t want none of those guys sitting down so canar can play I care how good of a shooter is I want those dudes playing all the minutes on the guard and Wing position thrown in with GG in there too I don’t want to see
You know what I mean like I’m not saying this this is this is me just spitballing this is a possible trade you can do where instead of instead of spending all that money into those guys instead of keeping those guys and then adding another big man that you’re paying 20
Some million dollars a year just consolidate the money throw throw those two guys in the trade you get your big man back you get another guy back on the contract and you’re not spending as much money because you just shipped out $30 million in salary and guess what else
You probably can send another guy out like a zya Williams like a jake Rabia like a David Ry to send out to give you even more tax relief you can go through a three for two and free up another roster spot like that to a team like Brooklyn that’s just that something
Anthon the same RAR does is talk trade scenarios you hear it here first on this uh uh supplemental edition of the show or you could go another route gentlemen are yall ready for this one what you got let’s say that you make a trade like that right and you say yeah I
Want using those same two guys Marcus Smart Luke Canard right you take those same two guys and you say you know what let me get a value big at Center who just gonna rebound just be big that totally allows jiren Jackson Jr to be jiren Jackson Jr
Because right now this this version of jiren is not jiren I don’t want jiren Jackson Jr to to have to score this much right I don’t have them I don’t have the POS I don’t want him to have such a high usage rate I don’t want jiren to be
Running isos 80% of the game like the jir I don’t mind that it’s in his bag though I don’t mind his I don’t want that to be his responsibility right I want I want uh John Morant desin Bane and maybe even one more guy to be my primary playmaker ball you know ball
Handlers scorers things like that but I want jiren to be able to score to have teams like [ __ ] man how the hell do you guard the grizz’s bro you can’t that’s that’s what I want Jackson Jr to be I don’t want him to be the number two
Three number one score I want to be the number three or fourth score right so let’s say you just get a big that just allows jiren to go back to his old role defensively right and just kind of do his thing on offense but he’s not being
Really called upon let’s say you go get then you say okay well let me Focus let me spend just a little money back in that 10 maybe eight to10 million doll range for my starting center send those same contracts out and get a guy who makes a little bit more
Money who could be more of a wing player or a perimeter player right so now I’m looking at Chicago I’m saying Chicago let’s talk business send me who has Memphis who has Memphis been flirting with for about 17 years that pretty red dude that pretty lightskinn girl that’s uh that’s in
Class everybody lik with the light eyes right and the curly hair uhhuh blue candle no that that was uh no that was who was that no he didn’t do that never mind my bad I was thinking to slam contest when he blew for those you who
Do not know there is a guy every year around this time you hear these weird rumors like the grizz’s are connected to like why the hell the Grizz connected to him that ain’t never made sense like right and we get excited about it and it’s like then it turns into nothing
Right what if I call Chicago I say Chicago we want Andre Drummond right but there’s nothing on my roster that I can give you that would that would make a Andre Drummond trade make sense like you’re not GNA get like Andre Drummond makes like three four million dollars
Right so you’re not going to get like zier for Andre you ain’t getting that right they don’t want that Scot J about a 105 million contract probably a mid-level contract players Worth right so what if this is just me spitballing this is stuff that I make Anthony the sa
Run through the wall nipples hard that type of stuff right but if you call Chicago and you say hey give us Andre Drummond we’ll send you Marcus Smart we’ll send you Luke Canard we’ll send you 20 24 first round pick this year’s pick on that claing thing you’re sending out the
2024 pick too you’re sending out too right and you give us Andre Drummond [ __ ] it I’m just G oh excuse hey it’s out here now go back out now replay you give me Z LaVine does it sound crazy yes could I see Chicago doing that [ __ ]
Yes why can’t I see Chicago doing it you’re gonna add a hard no guard and Marcus Smart who still has a ton of value you’re had a high level shooter and Luke Canard nice pieces that you can have for a few more years as you rebuild
You’re gonna get a top six seven eight 10 draft pick this year you understand what I’m saying and you gonna you’re probably gonna lose uh not you’re not be there not may not be many more teams because if if you try to get connect Zack LaVine to the Lakers they going to
Throw out some BS right like those are two proven rotation players in the league have skills right high level Defender best shooter in the league and you’re gonna get a 2024 draft pick and you’re you send us Drummond who’s gonna be on the Grizz is assigned him this
Summer for like a $16 million two-year deal something like that something like that for Drummond and you have uh uh uh Zack lavine’s contract your starting lineup is ridiculous your starting run me through that run me through that starting lineup real Qui is John Morant Desmond Bane Zack LaVine uh jiren
Jackson Jr Andre Drummond nasty you go back to the other one you’re looking at johnar Desmond Bane I guess you’re doing uh Vince Williams jiren and Nick Clon which is also equally disgusting if you can get DFS or O’Neal would they take Vince spot 38% 36 if you’re taking if you take this
Brooklyn situation and you get DFS or you get O’Neal 38% from three 36% from three they start over probably I probably uh start DFS over Vince at that point but Ro you coming to sit by me not me but coach you come sit by coach um that’s just me spitballing bro those
These are the type of possibilities you can do which five would you like more if I’m playing 2K give me that one that Chicago trade Chicago trade hey I can make Zack LaVine play defense in a video game block somebody ass up with with uh with over the game
But in real life you know Zack LaVine isn’t the most willing Defender um kind of gives off some David Jones Vibes man he up quick bro he can fill it up and he can fill it up quick and you’re talking about in the playoffs when you need Playmakers he’s a whole another monster
When it comes down to that but what I’m saying is don’t limit your thinking man don’t limit this this uh Stephen Adams trade to thinking that everything is hopeless and the Grizz is just oh we need a big man and I’m telling you man there are there are guys out there that
Can be moved you got Clint capella in Atlanta there are deals so you can get Clint capella here but like I said I got super excited looking at this Stephen Adams trade because I was like man there’s something there’s a new wave of the Memphis Grizzlies where we’ve always
Say man we need a guy that’s a rim Runner that’s athletic and these type of things those capabilities those possibilities are out there man like that’s out there like that that’s something that could very well happen between now and then or like I said and
If they went out and said we’re gonna go draft our big for the future I would be super uneasy about that but like my boy Chris Haron said today I would feel less uneasy about it if you’re talking about adding this big man to a rotation with santiag dama with Brandon Clark with
Xavier Tillman and not putting the pressure him to particularly start and just kind of let him find his way as the year goes on because who would be mad if we had drafted um uh Walker Kessler right and then you look up in a couple years he’s Walker
Kler like who would have been mad at that’s our starting center today and they may have learned they may have learned the ER of their ways with that man you know they went out Trey Jameson was a guy they looked at for this year’s that the grizz’s brought in worked out interviewed
Him and now you got Trey Jimson on your roster how how do we know the grizz’s aren’t convinced to saying hey man plus Trey Jimson will be part of your that kid is gonna be on this team next year you know what I mean how do you know
We’re not adding like this rookie this highly top 10 rookie to that group of guys and you’re saying okay let’s do that too I I I’m not I don’t I don’t think it’s gonna happen but I would not be totally upset if that did happen but like I said the possibilities are are
Endless I’m not upset with this Stephen alen trade like I said I think that relationship was separate between him the front office and possibly guys on this team as well so do you think uh if your scenario you’ve you’ve pitched out three scenarios the Brooklyn scenario the Chicago scenario and finding a big
Man in the draft and also just riding with what you got and riding still involved drafting the dud the draft right like the draft is X a part of any of those equations I don’t know man I I thought I would not have been surprised last night of EX got traded because that
Stuff was so goofy when they said uh when they said oh yeah by the way in the middle of the first quarter oh yeah by the way yeah tman is questionable then that he comes out there he comes out of the back with Street closing oh take a
Sh you know what you know what made me jump you know what made me go crazy last night for real though because I was talking about for that Boston for that for that Bulls trade you could do a three for two right where you could do Markus smart Luke canar and another low
Volume low payroll uh contract to get back back uh um [ __ ] man uh Zack CL not Zack clim Zack lefine and Drummond right remember I said that right they said before the game um out tonight will be of course Marcus Smart he was on the out list they
Also unavailable will be luke Canard and Derek Rose I was like why they talking about dere Rose man dere Rose been out for a he been out for a minute why out for a month man why they say that Derrick Rose gonna be out I said let me
Find out we about to trade with Chicago and send derck r back let me find out we about to send the son back home man hurt yeah oh I would bro that tra that went down last night bro you would have saw me you would have saw me jump
From the media booth and falling down to the crowd bro on the floor local Anthony s kills himself at a G let me just Sayo we ask Paris shy who was sitting beside him what he thought the motive of Anthony SA who thought was a very happy person would jump off the
Thing see I know say was a Zack LaVine fan I think he I think he just got too excited and jump I think he got excited and fell too excited man I just want to say this real quick man in regards to to to Luke um because you were talking
About the tax implications and shout out to the Discord man if y’all not in the Bluff City me the Discord for Five Doll five man go jump in that Joy you know price of the price of used to be Crystal five for five price of a price of a talk
Coffee from Starbucks yeah the price of a uh uh 4 for four the biggie bag joint win how a 4 for four and they telling it for $5 man it’s crazy they got the Bigg bag now the biggie bag the price of the Hidden McDonald’s hey but let’s be real let’s be real
Though Wendy’s late night kicks man I it’s so so fire those little Burgers those little burgers at night huh hey have you had the cryst of new fries though no cuz they switch listen they switch fries to a little battered Friday that was gross now switch to some other Friday hting hard
Bro anyway go ahead go sorry no y’all good bro um we we have a lot of interesting conversations over there and one of them we had just a couple of weeks ago man me and Sean Coman I don’t know if he’s sitting the coming shout
Out to my boy Sean we go back and forth on this Luke Canard thing because like you talk about his value as a shooter and you know Sean is a great numbers guy I’m not really big into how anal analytics affect the game I I try to
Look at it just and judge it from what I see um but he talked about how Luke’s you know value on his team is just Sky High when he’s playing with the starters and now that this whole Stephen Adam situation that came now it’s like oh we
Moved off of steo for tax implications and Luke makes more money than steo and so to go back to your point early when you talking about he’s like the fifth big in your rotation I just want you know the fifth guard my bad fifth guard in the rotation like I just want Griz
Fans to to relax when you throw these type of things out there because a lot of people like they get tied to names versus the team you know the name on the front of the jersey and and with Luke bro like his percentages are great but
What people got to realize is that Luke is not even in the top man I had this long tweet that I put out not I’m just you know spitballing right now the top of my head but he was not like in the top 10 of of of three-point uh field
Goal attempts in the NBA even though he has his great percentage like he’s not even top 10 in the league of that and so to me it’s like all right it’s great when he shooting it but the fact that you have to beg that guy to shooting
Every coach that he’s played for has said that hasn’t that always been the case with him yeah yeah always you know he’s gonna be a minus on defense you know you know he’s gonna get you killed this this what understand man and I’m I’mma back up what you’re saying if if
This is people people think about like guys like Vince right Vince has bombarded the rotation Vince Williams is going to be part of the rotation he’s you can play him at the three you can play him at the two you can play him beside J in a in a big back court with
Him and jar you can play him at the wing with j and and Bane or J and whoever but it’s hard to do those kind of things with Canard because all he does is shoot the ball well like he’s a elite level shooter so it’s hard to find a rotation
Spot for him because this is what the grizz’s rotation is probably gonna look like next year let’s say you hold let’s say you stay in Pat right you draft your Center and you you keep aret smart you keep Luke Canard right let me uh maximize my screen okay if you do that
Right that’s your rotation all right so you’re starting is going to be J Bane let’s say you start as Market smart right J Bane Market smart first the first rotation you’re going to sit Market smart right you gonna pull him out and you bring Vince in at the wing
Right then the next rotation next wave of rotation you’re gonna take John morand out you bring margus smart back in you can either move Vince to the to the two and bring GG in at the three or you can move Canard in you could bring Canard to two then you gotta move right
You can have Smart at than one Canard at the two Vince at the three yeah you can do that or you may want to go with Gigi but he’s the fifth man in the rotation and if I’m doing that there’s somebody that’s probably better than him that they sitting there waiting while I’ve
Got Luke Canard on the court can you find minutes for him sure but he’s not gonna he’s not gonna be the guy getting a lot of minutes because he’s the fifth you understand what I’m saying like I right look at this look at this some this is what ASAP Casper said he said
You can find some other 40% dude for from three for much cheaper on it face on its face value I I instantly instantly rejected that in I instantly rejected that because 40% three-pointer everybody needs them like everybody and so they’re not cheap right I guess my question is do y’all agree
With that or is that no I don’t think that’s particularly true but here’s the thing about canar like I said he’s he’s an elite level shooter but he’s also a 65 shooting guard who can’t play the point can’t play small forward and it’s like just limited man just limit I have
To I have to play him with other good Defenders and he’s at a position where the guys on the other side of him are known to cook him like other guards he’s gonna be guarding against are gonna be going at him like I said he’s he’s great
He’s a great luxury to have but he’s got to be on the court for the whole three-point shooting thing to be fine it’s not like we’re saying sit Desmond Bane who’s your starting shooting guard right like you’re gonna have to find ways to make Canard work on this team as
Opposed to a guy like Vince who’s you don’t have to work to anywhere go out there and do it all so that’s that’s not an anti people get so emotional man that’s not an anti uh like when you say those type of things oh I don’t understand why people
Are trashing canar no it’s that it’s just it’s just honest basketball it’s just a honest rational basketball conversation and people have to like kind of remove your emotions when they come down that type of stuff and it’s also your fifth guard that you’re paying $15 million for you know what I mean so
That you said you’ve said this before you’ve called him a luxury that we might not be able to keep right like I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want to see a Time where where Marcus smar comes in as my backup point guard Canard is at the
Two I got Gigi out there I mean I got Vince out there or whatever and I got Gigi just kind of sitting here like oh guess how sit here while you know Luke Gard gets his minutes off I rather CS go Marcus Smart Vince Williams gigg with
Jiren and Brandon Clark or whatever and just have a nasty ass lineup that can you know and I’m say and it could it work yeah of course it could work if if you have that lineup next year but I would much rather to see that Consolidated and get a legit big man
Back but we’ll see man it’s it’s going to be a fun exciting U possible next few days or next few months it’s gonna be fun for sure if we were able to trade smart and Luke straight for a big should we use the first round pick on a true
Shooting forward or small forward uh wings are much bigger of a crap suit in the uh draft than the big is we’ve seen that we’ve seen that over the last like three years guys like d you get Derek Livy all the time who come in as rookies
Right and able to contribute on good teams then you get Z Williams in the top 10 right you know and if you didn’t look at this though man like we people did a lot of bitching on draft night right and the main person that you can say that
Grizz’s missed on is Trey Murphy who went at 19 right but look at the dudes who were right around zier Williams who Grizz fans bitched about that night who also were bums like uh uh uh book Knight you know what I mean man that was my guy
He’s worse than worst out man he’s out The League he’s out The League James book Knight trash Moses Moody trash like these are dudes that we bitched about and all those dudes were these hyped wing of the Futures that the Grizz need to draft and like that position
Brandon Miller everyone’s like a they gotta that dude’s not gonna be him that dude is him like it’s just a crap suo man I said it I said it is gonna be a bum that why do you go get how do you not go get uh uh uh scooter scoot
Henderson yeah Scooter Braun but with bigs man if a guy’s a solid College Big A lot of times that that pans out man there are certain things about today’s NBA the scouts are able to see okay yeah that dude is gonna he’s gon to contribute to NBA like for ex for example
Man did anybody look at Trey Jameson last night and be like ah that kid he’s lost like he don’t know what he doing no I looker that dude’s a Monster yeah like dud them dudes are so plug in play man you can Jin was like yeah I got with him
Earlier today ran through some stuff with him I knew he was ready to go so he went out there and contribute and if he had have paid 30 minutes he I guarantee you if did it if he had have scored if he had played 30 minutes he would have
Had a double double ass like that’s just kind of how those those that stuff translates well you know what I mean so I agree and then defensively did you see how high they had to shoot floaters over that man just to get the ball to the
Goal bro like that was amazing to watch like like to my man’s point who had the question like would I trade would I trade those two guys for a big and then use that first round pick for a rookie small forward why would I do that when I
Can trade for I can add in the package and get a real small for like I can get Claxton and one of the many wings they got over there as well so right that’s the way I would try to go C Johnson’s on the out over there too
Contract if I get if if margus smart and Luke Canard turns into and and this year’s first round pick turns into Nick Clon and cam Johnson I don’t give a damn if if Luke Canard was shooting 70% from three for real man get your little B ass get your
Little get your little uh what smash [ __ ] Beverly 90210 looking ass out freaky ass you passing Nate Chester looking ass man get your ass on somewhere man hey man why is Nester catching why is Chester catching Strays in here man because he looks like he looks like him
And uh luk Luke canar could just be boys just talking about the goodness of the Lord you know damn hey man get up out of here hey bro I’mma tell y’all something else too man I don’t get emotional about these players bro there’s there’s about three dudes if I
