 Peep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Yeah, so I'm scoop time. All right, last week, you reported that Zach Levine and the Bulls have a openness about possibly finding some sort of a trade situation. Then we saw some stuff over the weekend blowing off post game, not very happy. I don't know if you guys all saw this, but it was a actual certified blow off of a post game interview. Are we gonna see a deal done sooner rather than late? Yeah, this is classic. Oops. I see a deal done sooner rather than later. Yeah, for this situation, I actually reached out to Rich Paul, his agent at Clutch Sports, and asked him about it. And Rich Paul's quote to me was, is being blown out of proportion that actually happens more times than not. It's just the timing of it with the trade talks makes it out to something that's not. Players run away avoiding post game interviews all the time. This does happen from time to time. Some get caught on camera, some don't. There's always a push and pull. Some guys don't even want to talk after games. But no matter any of that, basically where this stands with Zach Levine in the bulls is for the first time, Zach Levine has shown an openness for a trade. I think the bulls are also in the same boat and seeing the market and seeing what is out there for Zach Levine. We've been talking for the last couple of years about the bulls. Which direction are they going? Are they going to finally look to retool? Look for the Lakers, Heat, 76ers, Raptors, all expected to have level of interest in Zach Levine. The thing here though is there's going to be delay of some sort, like a team like the Lakers. They're not going to be able to make a move with D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimora, guys like that until December, January. So there are these trigger dates in the calendar where a guy like D'Angelo Russell, he can't be traded until December 15th. Rui Hachimora can't be traded until January 15th. But this is a massive contract, Zach Levine's on. This is the second year of a five year, $215 million deal. So this is one of the best contracts in the NBA you can make a case. And so which team is going to be there to take that on? I love when people are in trade talks and then we start to dissect their clothing choices Chandler. So here we have Zach Levine wearing an LA hat after the Bulls loss on Wednesday. Do we like him as a Laker? First of all, the post-game interview Sean, that was crazy. And usually you don't turn down the on-the-court interviews, because even if he's not in trade, rumors, it's a bad look to do that and like to kind of storm out like that. So like this, I wouldn't say it is the norm. Yes, the press conference. Yes, taking a shower, not speaking to media, just dipping out of the locker. That's common, I've played that game before. On-the-court, they're different. Yeah, sure. You made me wonder. It would be great. You definitely made over. The Lakers would be great, but like Sean said, I think it's gonna have to be later in the season where you put a deal up in the trade. And then yeah, I think that they would immensely make that team better. But yeah, as far as his hat, like I wear Yankee hats all the time. I don't like Yankee. How dare you? You don't even, wait, hold up. You don't like the Yankees and you wear a Yankee hat? I'm Dodger fan all day and I wear Yankee hats. It's now we're reaching. We're reaching before looking at the guy's hat. I don't think we're reaching. I also think we need to really get into the fact that you wear a hat of a team you don't even like. That's weird. It's a little fashion. No. Fashion. Just a color, Michelle. It matched the shirt. Yeah, it's so weird. Are you in agreement, Lou? Like as a Laker, but obviously we have to wait till December, January. I like, obviously I'm with the Lakers. I also like them with Philly as well. You know, Philly has established themselves with Joel and Maxi. Give them another guy that can stretch that floor out. Give them another playmaker. I like them in Philadelphia as well. I mean, Philly's doing all right. Do they become, I don't know, in your mind actual title contenders, if you add a Levine? We'll see. I don't know. I really like Zac, but yeah, no this to Zac. I just, I really like his game. I really like what he's bringing to the table, but does he take a team from 0.1 to 0.2? Is he that much of a difference maker? Remains to be seen. You know, he's one of the marquee guys in Chicago, and I would like to see those guys get it right there with all of the talent they have on that team, and we haven't seen him. So I'm just not sure. I'm not so, hold on. Yeah, and it's interesting too, because he's with Damar and Booth. We're also very good and it's not working. Two more stars, so. Yeah, like, is he a guy that's gonna take a good team Philly? It's really good? I don't know. I think he is what they need. I think he can get that wing option, handle and pick and roll, space to the floor, get out and transition. I think, you know, basketball-wise, it sounds like it makes sense, but a lot of times when you add someone like that too, it can hurt me more than your health, and then it kind of goes back to the clipper thing we were talking about before. Don't fix, it's not broken. I'm Philly, it's a little scary. Yeah, I know. Shout out to, 40 minutes into the show. Yeah, and that was the first clipper mention. Shout out to, good day. Yeah. Winning songs all. Winning songs all. We're winning. Oh yeah, they play the spurs tonight and Wednesday. That'll be fun. DeMar DeRozan, by the way, expiring contract. I'm assuming, Chandler, if you're DeMar DeRozan, are you, you're asking for a trade right now behind the scenes? What is the mindset you think for him? Yeah, all of them, M, Boots, Caruso. To be honest, we've been saying this since running back started last year. This was the team that, once they got off to a bad start, break it up. They got off to a bad start and they didn't break it up. And all summer long, what do they do? And now this is the same thing. Slow start, now all of a sudden there's murmurs. But yeah, I think this is a team that they completely go into, you know, rebuilding. I wouldn't even say tanks. I think they can get a lot of assets, a lot of picks, a lot of solid talent for these guys. I don't think they're gonna completely go in tank, but yeah, I think it's officially time. They're not contending. They're not gonna add anything that's gonna help them be a, you know, this kind of tender all of a sudden. Get a give it to everybody, kind of start over and go from there. But this is something that I thought they were gonna do last year. DeMar is one of those guys I actually like on the Lakers. I can see that bit being something that works out. You know, he's placed with his back to the basket. He's a methodical player. You know, that Lakers team, sometimes they come down, they like to work through their sets, play through guys out of the post, play through LeBron out of the post, AD sometimes. And so DeMar gives them that look where, you know, you can give the ball to them in the half-course sitting and go get a bucket down the stretch of basketball game. So I personally, I want to see him get out of Chicago, continue his career and get on a contender. I think that'd be a good fit for him. Well, then that means I got to go to Shams. I mean, we're talking DeMar DeRozan. It feels like this entire bull squad is up in the air, maybe fire sale, but what's the latest with DeMar DeRozan? DeMar DeRozan has had conversations about an extension with the bulls, but they are far apart. There hasn't been a deal obviously yet. And I think DeMar DeRozan now is at a point where he can sit back and just see how the situation plays out with the team, with Zach Levine, because clearly that appears to be the focus right now in Chicago is finding a potential landing spot for him. So DeMar DeRozan is in this position now where he can just sit back, watch. He doesn't really have to, I think, move. And if a team does make an aggressive bid for him, he'll be right there. And I think obviously there's an openness to really anything in Chicago now. Man, you knew it was bad when they had a players only meeting after the first game. This is rough.
