 The spurs are on a three game winning streak. This is not a drill people three games run it back starts now Good morning happy Tuesday smiling fit look at Eddie smiling. It's beaming. I can feel it through the screen We are run it back stadium insider Shamsher on a trailer Parsons Eddie G there on the end and we We were wanted to start the show with the spurs, but we're gonna make you guys wait for the dessert just a little bit longer So instead we'll start with the Portland Trailblazers and one Dame la la I mean dude I love when Damian Lillard does what he does and last night he did 11 threes in three quarters and then the world was in an uproar because then they didn't see him again So here's the big question Chandler. Do you agree because Chauncey Phillips did say he was on a heater It was fun to watch, but then he sat him the entire fourth quarter. What do you think about that? It's it's the right move unfortunately, and you know Dame for whatever reason He doesn't get talked about like one of these great shooters of all time And he is right up there especially when we're talking about range and when he gets going man It is it's fun to watch, but he's been out He has been I mean kind of riddled with injuries this year So the smart play is is to sit him here. Obviously we all love to see records and we want to see him chase it But the game was well out of reach. He's been battling injuries pretty much all year long He's not guaranteed to go back in and make you know three or four more or whatever it is anyways This was definitely the right move. It just it's it's no fun as a fan singer watching You want to see history broke there, but man when he gets going and he's pulling from that deep It is it is something special to watch 11 threes Eddie were you disappointed too? Of course, I hate when they do this with guys I think clad like 59 and three-quarters a few years back. I couldn't believe Steve Kurt didn't let him go chase 80 I remember Kobe had 63 to the mad 62 the same thing I couldn't believe that field didn't let him go out there and get 81 and then he did it a month later because he's Kobe But I hate it like I'm all for the integrity of the game But if I if I got a record out there that's to be had like let me go let me go get my money, but I Get it Chauncey's a old pro and he's gonna respect the game and then they won so it's fine But as a fan, I'm like, yeah, let me see 17 threes. Let's see if you can do it 2k Dame From a fan perspective guys, I would have loved to see it But I'm gonna go with what dames said last night He's like I would rather get it in the flow of the game, you know, we're trying to go win a game It's tough to have him just go out there and jack jack up threes But like this is a big time it was a big time game last night for dame Lillard And he's also set to become the Portland showblazers leading franchise score of all-time passing Clyde Drexler here in the next week Or so so a couple big milestones potentially that would have been had for dame Lillard So it would have been cool to see him get the three-point record as well because I definitely think if he played that fourth quarter He probably would have gotten it But also you got to remember here imagine this a whole different storyline if he goes back in and gets hurt or if he Thank you God forbid something happens to him. So as boring and as you know You know people disagree with it. It's you have to do this He's your franchise player your team is surprisingly playing well this year. They're right in the mix of things It sucks, but you have I agree a hundred percent with this You gotta it just sucks that this wasn't a close game and like he said he couldn't get it within the flow of the game This was a close game. No doubt in my mind. He's he's breaking the record I said damned if you do damned if you don't because you're right if chauncey had put him back in and he had gotten hurt That then that's that's all we're talking about today. Why is he in the game? But I do wonder and chanela this to you especially Um, if you're dame, are you are you angry? Are you pushing back? Are you fighting? Or are you just sort of accepting what it is? No, it's you accept it. This happens in all of sports. It's happened with Clayton Gershaw this year We had a perfect game going like the seventh or and they took him out Like this is it's the era of load management. Yeah, and especially with a guy like him Who's getting up there in age who's been hurt like we just discussed You're not angry at all. You definitely get it and I know chauncey has a relationship with him Where you know, this was a mutual decision. I'm sure if dame really wanted to go back in the game Chauncey wouldn't let him go back in the game, but it was a blowout There's zero reason for him to go back in there. I'm sorry. There'll be other opportunities for him to break this record And and let's be honest these trailblazers fly here to san antonio to face a very hot Streaking san antonio spurs team tomorrow. I don't know why the laughter is happening. That was not a joke Eddie I'm looking right at you every single time Speaking of by the way, eddie I do want to transition over the nets for a second because I don't know It seems like the air got clear the drama died down and they're doing exactly what everyone wanted the nets to do Eight and two in their last ten a nice rested team beating the wizards last night So other than maybe the obvious What has changed? What is it? Is it the coaching? What is so different about this team right now that they're in the flow? Yeah, what's what's three straight wins when you have four straight wins michelle? Like let's let's talk about the real hot team in the league It look jack Vaughn has instilled something in this team for sure And you can see it just in the energy and effort they play with they lead the league in blocks For a pretty small and slight team. That's astounding Their defense has been not in day with jack as opposed to Steve nash before him I think one of the things you can see kind of like in the most simplest ways He's holding guys accountable kairi mentioned it yesterday a great quote about you know Hey, if you don't play hard, he's not going to play you if you look at their rotation Bunch of guys have been in out the rotation. He brought ben Simmons off the bench He he's cut kairi's minutes in certain games. He's done the same with edmund sumner where he would get a dmp cam thomas same thing dmp Nick claxon will be quick to come out the game if he doesn't like his effort He's quick to call a timeout if those guys are breaking a play and He's just there's just a level of accountability there that that wasn't there before Uh, did they get a little bit injury luck as well? Sure, but they also didn't have kairi for eight games They also miss ben Simmons for x amount of games. They you know, Roy Sonio shut it down for a couple days just now Uh, they obviously had the the game where they sit everybody and they still won They had a historic amount of offensive rebounds 39 offensive rebounds I mean, what what else on the on the court spells effort besides offensive rebounds So, you know, he's let a fire under them. I know it's a little cliche, but you can see it Especially if you remember how they looked in october and early november Yeah, and I think the same thing sometimes in the league all you need is just a change no matter whose fault. What's the situation? Uh guys weren't happy. They weren't winning. They weren't exceeding expectations and and a change is needed whether jack vaughn doing something D drastically different. Who knows it does seem like they're playing harder. It seemed like their defense is much improved I can't sit here and say that their offense is, you know Different they kind of just take turns still and they're just they're healthy and they're playing good But their offense is kind of the same They just have kevin durant and kairi erving that are capable of carrying the load there But some there's been so many situations where just a simple coaching change a simple, you know Move rust to the bench. All you need is kind of that move And as a coach as an organization that you you got to have those those You know those things happen for to to light a fire like eddie said and it seems to be working with them right now because they're hitting the stride and But again, we've been down this road with them before last night and looking at the wizards as goodwin kisper A bedigio or however you say his name during the starting lineup like that that's I wouldn't really say this is a Big win, but any time you get a win, especially on a streak like this It's great for all the all the drama that's been surrounded with this team. I feel like that's I hate I don't want to jinx it, but I feel like it's in the past. So Uh, you know, I think uh, I think they're kind of hitting their stride at the right point here shams Yeah, and and when you look at this team I think eddie hit on a lot of it the accountability the in-game adjustments are no doubt major factors of this team But when I talk to people on the nets the biggest thing right now With jocvon also his communication his ability to actually get through the players have really honest and frank conversations with guys Whether it's a ben Simmons a kevin durant a kairi Irving Uh, his his connectivity to guys is something that was missing Really over the last couple of years in brooklyn And so that's you have to give jocvon a lot of credit for that and what he's been able to instill in just The energy and effort that these guys are playing with it's palpable. They are this is a very easy part of the schedule Uh, I think kevin durant referenced it last night like this is a soft part But listen there were times last year in the year before where they just didn't take care of business Against these these you know bottom dwelling teams. They are now Can I ask one quick question before we before we move on and eddie? You're probably the best equipped to answer this one But is it when you're a nets fan or when you're in that area and you and you follow this team Does it feel like You're always sort of waiting for whatever the next drama Like when you're in a relationship and the other person screws up all the time and you're like waiting for the next one Is it feel like that or can you just Enjoy it? I think there was a little bit of that to start the season for sure I've talked to people around the team over the last few weeks and it was The the story even going back into the summer with all the drama with kevin is like let's see everybody on the floor Let's see tj warren. Let's see ben simmonds. Let's see edmund summoner. Let's see everybody now They have everybody now and talking to people around the team It's like all right. Look now that we have everybody look at how we're doing Yeah, the schedule is a little easy and yeah, we dropped the selts game But you know, we're fourth in the in the conference right now half a game out of three Two big games next week celtics and but not celtics warriors and bucks at home before christmas They're gonna learn a lot about that team right now, but it seems to be all good in brooklyn at the moment for sure Ah, everything's peaceful. I enjoy that celtics. By the way that loss doesn't look so bad right now Okay, this is it. Everyone pick up your coffees. Enjoy your doughnut. It is time To enjoy the thrilling conclusion of last night's spurs calves game Jones six on the shot clock against garland That's it with the screen jones on the drive No comes off to cleaver 13 seconds to go Shut up bill lan shinalia and all I contributed to that entire thing was laughing because it was just chaos, but I mean it was it was that was fun like that look three in a row. You can say what you want I know whatever tank blah blah blah, but it changes the vibe in the building and it certainly felt like that last night But then I ask you guys chandler Is this more about what the spurs have figured out maybe or is this something about the calves that we should be worried about It's more about the calves because this is a team that we're talking about You know being a real contender in the east being a you know that third best team after boston and milwaukee These are games that you gotta win This is a team that's obviously They're going through a rebuild, but this also gives the fans in santonia. This gives them hope their young guys are playing Well, that that was a huge block by kellen johnson Richardson had a great game these guys are getting experience that they would never get in the normal situation That is going to be key for their development And I think it says more obviously negative about the calves if they want to be a real contender this year They've got to minimize these type of losses, but this is huge for santonia. This is huge for their young guys development their fans um I think they'd still prefer to lose these type of games like we always talk about but you know at the end of the day Like the right now the rockets are winning games the magic run a three game winning streak These teams are going to it's harder to go. Oh and 82 there's gonna be good wins for teams There's gonna be bad losses, but this is fun for santonia No one wants to go there knowing your team's gonna lose and this is this was a big win. It was exciting in the arena last night Yeah, shout out to kelden johnson the only spur looked like trying to win that game He saved the game There is garland Like it could not have been set up better for dg to hit that three and go home with a nice win But look like like michelle said it's fun. Even if you know your team is you know kind of bad It's fun when you have a tight game late when when you do something like this to win Listen to their arena like they're they're they're amazed. They're having so much Energy you're not expecting that from them. Also. I gotta give credit to the iceman throwback jerseys that they're wearing Uh, I'm full supportive of what they're doing with their unis this year But they're gonna need to start losing some of these games pretty soon for sure All right, they've been houstoner eight and 18 now now. All right good win, but now back to the plan The texas battle no one knew they wanted No, you know what though I people ask all the time. I think the number one question What's pop what's pop gonna do was pop gonna retire. What is he having fun? Last night was one of those nights where um, I'm probably not a lot of people didn't get to see it, but He was coaching like I mean In the defensive stance slamming the desk just really coaching up the dudes and they always look over to him I don't know chandler. I feel like This was the big talk last night before the game too is sort of the psychology of a team when you're on an 11 game Losing streak you walk into work and you just think we have no shot. We're not going to win versus all right Win a couple and it completely changes everything your coach is still very much invested He also happens to be one of the best of all time in my opinion d What is that? What's the value in that as a young player especially? I mean, it's huge for especially you're setting an example these young kids obviously no pop to know about his success He's used to winning and he's not accustomed to the season that they're having this year So, you know, who knows with his future with the team, but it shows a lot to these guys that You know, we understand where we are. We understand that we're not a contender this year, but I'm still here I'm still going to coach you. I'm still going to try and you know, bring you along as fast as I can Um, and it gives them kind of, you know that courage to go out there and play hard like this And you know, no one wants like I said, no one wants to go to the arena and go to practice and go to shoot around Put in all this work that they've done just to go out there and just lose on purpose Like that's just not in their dna. It's not what got these kids to the mba So the fact that pop is still so involved and is animated like that on the sidelines It just shows that he's a pro's pro and that's why he's probably the best coach of all time And shams, when can I expect you down here for a one-on-one with keldin johnson? Is that this week? Let me know I will I did a one-on-one with keldin johnson I think I think it was last year of the year before that but like The energy he's played with his development like that contract is looking better and better with every passing day One note on the calves. I think the one thing that when we look at this roster They need a wing like channel parson's in his prime type of wing player. Um, they've tried out Dean wade lamar stevens Um, keres laverde at different times even though he's probably better suited on this team as a sixth man So channel you might have to call you a guy jb and uh, and see that Yes, let's get it make it happen. That'd be fun to watch. Uh, look the cell ticks, by the way Don't look now something is going on but the clippers were they very nice very convincing 113 93 win. How about kawaii pg with a combined 51? Okay, this is the clippers team and I don't want to get too excited because keeping them both on the floor Seems almost impossible, but when they are both on the floor eddie, how dangerous are they really? I mean they're selling his world champion That they're they're that good in a league that is built to Score from the wings. They have some of the best defensive wings in the league They have some of the the one of the best rosters of wings and versatility nick but some kind of unsung hero here He's been a monster for them defensively And and he he made things rough for jason tatum last night and zealom brown They're built to win that style of play that playoff style of basketball. The problem for them in the west is there's there's one monkey in that and wrench In that style of playing that's stefan curry. He's not a wing and and nobody at this size can guard him And they're going to run into him eventually one way or the other They also Luca a little bit a little bit of slack as well, but there are dangers dangerous team and Now they're without norman pal So they're still not even full strike But for koate go out there and shoot 10 of 12 score 25 points against those guys Which a week ago we said is the best team in the league It just shows how effective he can be even in small doses as he rounds himself into shape and and gets ready for the long run Now are they all going to shut it down in a week and then we won't see them again until Valentine's day Maybe I mean even a be a bad idea But they show their potential when they need to and that's a maybe the most dangerous team in the league Yeah, watching this game last night. This was vintage kawaii Leonard. He was getting to his spots He was pulling up left pulling up right posting up. This was he looked thin. He looked in shape Uh, this was the kawaii Leonard that was brought there to you know to be their best player and This just shows you how good that they can be like we just said the covington pal They didn't play last night and they still just dominated the best team in the league With with paul george and kawaii. This is the first time they both scored over 20 in a really long time This just shows that they are a real contender. I'd love to see them build off this I'd love to see them at full strength, but On the other side, this is the Celtics have been on the road. This is a two game losing streak They got the lakers tonight I feel like they've been on the road forever and it's not been an easy road trip But this is something that you know, they need to put an end to this right now They need to bounce back but this just shows you how dangerous the clippers are when they're fully loaded It also shows you how tumultuous this league can sometimes be because one minute we're like god call it a day Celtics for the win But shams they have they shown a few weaknesses that maybe if you are a Celtics fan got your eyebrows raised a little bit Yeah, I mean you're they're waiting on the return of robert-wimms al-horford not in the lineup as well So you're down a couple bigs and you saw last night the way that the clippers played They were getting to their spots quad Leonard pg were were super aggressive And I think for the clippers you have to give a lot of credit to ty lu He kept this team afloat When they were without both of those guys for pretty much most stretches of this season And so that to me speaks identity and culture and now the sky's the limit This is a team that should have made to the conference final Definitely mba finals after making to the conference finals without coa without coa Leonard a couple seasons ago So I think this this team seems prime now They just got to keep these guys on the floor And I think for the Celtics try to bounce back tonight and get al-horford and robert-wimms back in your lineup possibly by the end of the weekend I love a good time machine journey and I love when somebody who's considered quote old Has a moment in the sun and flake griffin Trying to recreate the Mozgov dunk, which gave me life for like four years. Do we love this or do we love this channel? Oh, man, I love it so much and I'm really am happy for blake. He he's been kind of up and down He's playing very very good for for boston this year. He's filling in he's starting for them now He's doing all the little things. He's playing hard. He's only taken wide open threes But yeah, this this last night this could have really really been special But I I love the fact that he's even attempting things like that Right We're doing a lot for miss live right now. I'm gonna be that guy I don't this is like a really loud miss live and and that's cool. I'm happy for blake He's he's found a place to have a decent role there while they wait for the big fellas to come back A team where he has an opportunity to win a championship Thought it was a little funny that the nets gave him a tribute video when he came back to town For two up and down seasons But look blake is a legend. He really is peaked at the start of internet basketball and and This is what he used to give us on a nightly basis I remember seeing blake in sacramento in like 2012 and it felt like a mega star was in the arena Like every time there was a deflection. It was like because you might just get to see blake dump So i'm happy to see him still around doing stuff like this, but I gotta hate a little bit like that's That's a badly missed layup that we're getting excited about We just want Yeah, eddy Why are you such a hater? It's christmas. I miss lives without getting found. So look it's I get it like they're not nearly as impressive as that But he's also 6 10 and in the nba. So i'm gonna i'm gonna hold him to a little bit higher standard than me Just wanted the mozgov element. We wanted it back in our lives. It was so good We're taking a quick break when we come back shams gonna tell us which which big name player might actually be dealt and I don't know a lot of other stuff. That's when run it back returns Welcome back to run it back and it is what is it december 13th So we're getting we're getting there shams time for you to really start giving us some information boyan bogdanovic Hearing some some murmurs. What is the latest with him? About a dozen teams have inquired trying to see if they can try to get boyan bogdanovic He's having a tremendous season 21 points a game almost 44 from three point range We just saw him put up 38 points against the lakers on sunday night The lakers have been the most aggressive team on boyan bogdanovic recently. I'm told they've discussed sending At least one protective first round pick as well salary like patrick beverly for bogdanovic But right now the pistons just seem reluctant to moving him And I think that the preference for their gm troy weaver is to keep him as they try to move into next season and try to win But I think you're going to see the lakers try to get involved. They're they're trying to get some shooting With anthony davis lebron james having really strong seasons. This team is 11 15 after a two and ten start There are a few games out of fourth place in the west Fit six plays in the west. So I think this is a team that's trying to Find some shooting cam reddish evin for near other players that I think that the lakers will continue to take a look at Oh, it's gonna be all lakers every day for a while But this is the mysterious one to me and I'm really excited and nervous to see where he goes But jay crowder is he moving anytime soon? So I don't know if anytime soon, but the sons have continued to try to get a deal done They want to move him This is a team that clearly needs a trade needs a jolt to their lineup They're without basically two starters jay crowders out Cam johnson is out and we'll see if he's gonna gonna be back sometime in january february I'm told recently the sons did engage in some three team conversations. It would have sent crowder to milwaukee milwaukee Atlanta miami are probably his three strongest suitors And in that deal it would have been four second round picks and players to houston Eric gordon kj martin to phoenix a deal that I think Both phoenix and milwaukee would have done But the holdup was houston values both eric gordon and kj martin his first round picks So the sons are gonna have to continue to be active in the marketplace to try to get A player that can help them in the front court for a guy like jay crowder There's a team that clearly needs to add some depth if they're gonna try to win a championship this year That's crazy the idea of helping the bucks at all is is insane to me. Okay. This is it This is the uh, this is the creme de la creme of today a lot a lot of announcements were made concerning hardware shams take it away. What do you have? So the nba they've been Renaming their awards, right? We saw the kobe brian all-star award You have the larry bird magic johnson east and western conference mvp awards like they're starting to do that You know in full force and now we have new mvp award names defensive player of the year Rookie of the year six man of the year most improved and now a new clutch player of the year award So the major individual awards will now Have basically legend names attached to them. I'm just curious chanler's thoughts. He was you know once upon a time Real contender from a lot of these awards. I'm I wonder what he thinks about this I I think it's so ridiculous like this this clutch player award so You could have a horrendous year. You could average six points a game AJ griffin for example, how is he right now the clutch player because he has two winners like what what what are the credentials what are Also, who cares like it's you you're playing for a championship like just making up all these ridiculous awards to me Just seemed like a stretch in such a reach um I guess it gives players that don't really have a chance to you know win mvp or be on a good team to kind of compete for a Championship it kind of gives them some sort of goals But I can I can confidently say that players are not going to give a damn about winning this award Uh, they just won't and so good. Maybe it gives them a bonus with their shoe deal or something And maybe it gives them more more bread, but this is this is a joke to me. That's not bad I would love to know where dame lily keeps his bubble mvp like It's it's getting weird. We we have the conference championship trophy and then the conference championship mvp and I and now we're gonna have the commissioner cup Sponsored by whoever in the middle of the season and it's like I'm sorry. Like I'm like a traditional list. I I like 82 games I like that somebody wins the mvp and then I like that. There's a bottle's mvp all this other stuff I don't really need all this the clutch player thing like who's voting on that like that's going to get a vote Of course, we should petition for us to get votes as media members as well And then just absolutely tank it for some reason because I don't What am I doing with my my clutch player award in my house? Like are you giving that prominence? On on the mantle Chandler if you got that one or is it just in a box somewhere? I don't know what we do with that I don't think I would showcase it. I really don't I don't think I would you know It doesn't make sense to me. Also, when I think of most improved player, no shade But I don't really think of George viking either I dare you being attached. Yeah, it's just none of this really What about mj? Yeah, I love that. I love that Um, what awards are they gonna make for like LeBron, Steph Curry like They're gonna have the best shooter this season award. It's gonna be Steph They're just gonna they're just a good dominant player in LeBron James No most passive aggressive. We'll put that one on there. See if that one will work for you guys We should No, I do feel like that you are opening up this It's almost like the NBA front office likes that we all argue with each other over and over again with LeBron versus mj Because knowing that they just did this This is going to be the conversation starting all over again today But I the mj thing. I don't mind, but you're right. We're adding too many awards It feels like a pageant at this point like best smile and it just I don't I don't know I'm with you guys. It's it's It's Taylor Parsons best smile Amazing shams love you. Thank you. We will we will talk exactly. We'll talk to you tomorrow Um, oh god, okay trophies. I can't wait to put my regional sports on me out here. Convince me time eddie I have missed this the last few days. All right Convince me that the top seat in the east and west should get to pick their opponent any round of the playoffs Not only should they get to pick it should be on tv Like I would tune into that I think just like the all-star thing should be in person like I need to see that playground style like We want the calves boom and then extra extra motivation for the calves I actually think it's like it works functionally. I think it adds drama to the series Um, and I think there should be a little bit of a reward for being the top seat in the conference More than just game seven on your court because you might even play game seven Uh, I love it like if you know if we're just giving awards away arbitrary awards with fancy names Let's do some stuff that actually affects the game Let's do this. I like this. I like this idea. Whoever came up with this one We need you in the league office. How offended are you if you're the team that gets picked to play the first round? It's the best. It's the best I didn't that happen this year in the nfl where the packers got to pick after they played in europe They picked the jets and the jets beat them because they were so angry. They were insulted to me this adds drama That you didn't even know you needed Because you don't want to get picked but you kind of want to get picked, right? Like imagine you're the eight seed hornets and you just get smoked anyway So it's like yo, you were upset but you just got sweat But you know what you tried harder That's what we're hoping uh chandler. I can't I mean we need 20 minutes for this next one Convince me that nba players should call their own fouls Yeah, you know what? I like this if they put a cap on the number of fouls that they get Let's let's even say it's more than say it's 10 This would eliminate the lucas of the world that are complaining every single time to the rest Um, this would eliminate pretty much any of the reviews and any of the delays in the games This would be I think a good thing for the game with Just the the amount of just begging and the I'm so tired of seeing players go like this after every single call That wouldn't happen if you just get to call your own fouls and but there's got to be a cap on it Because this would get the games would be seven hours if there was never there was not a cap on this but Yeah, I think I think it would be a smart thing But there's there's got to be some sort of number where they just can't be going ham calling fouls every single play Eddie laughed you like that one. I know you like that one I want to see the defensive guys do it. Imagine Marcus smart with his 10 offensive fouls He gets to call a game for his flop. So, you know, imagine the guys he fouls out by calling those charges It's funny. I think Chandler's right if you do this Maybe you give like one a game like a coach's challenge and just imagine like the one player Who in crunch time he waited all game and he calls his own foul Just that type of douche like Or the opposite if the game's on the line and i'm out of foul calls You could just hack me because I already blew all my foul calls. So I see yeah, you can't cap it I think for the sake of just a test Maybe we take one pre-season game next season and we just try this out even if it goes seven hours We just try it out because I think eventually the players are going to be like, we don't want to play seven hour games Let's figure this out But I don't know maybe maybe they do and then we should give an award to who calls at least I don't even know who to name that after but I don't hate it. I don't hate it Dennis rodman award or something. Wow. He's been waiting his whole life Eddie Can convince me that a handful of NBA games each season should be played in high school gyms or on outdoor courts and or I love this. I love that hockey does this and they had their outdoor game I know the NBA toy would it before I think in phoenix and maybe somewhere else Um, obviously you don't want wind to be an issue in a basketball game There's almost no avoiding that in that sense. I think a smaller gym a high school gym That's also fun. Do something in the drew Do something, you know an oak hill one of these historic high schools or you know, rucker park Which had the tbt this summer and has hosted many games something like that I I love it. I do worry a little bit. We saw the seattle program with jamal carford this summer Have its own issues, but with the league in charge and and doing all of their Legwork beforehand. I think it could happen. There's just something about You know in the summer when those guys are playing at like lifetime fitness They just look larger than life and they make the rim look shorter from those angles Let's put that on tv I used to love the old orlando summer league because it was that weird little funky gym In the funny camera angle. I would love this. Uh, make it a prime time premiere matchup People will complain, but fellas get on the court course 94 feet. Let's make it happen Sandler, would you hate it? No, I love it. I love high school game like brawny played last night the high school It's packed. It's fun. Imagine, you know, mba players going to these smaller gyms I love it. Put them at duke. Put them at rucker. Put them at these historic basketball courts And it gives a different a different demographic for fans. I love it You know, they have the college games on the cruise ship Let's we can just keep coming up with the craziest locations. I think it'd be great Oh drake has that mansion with the full-size basketball court. We can do it there. There you go. That's could do security there All right, we've just had 97 great ideas in less than an hour brilliant up next Should the lakers just blow up the whole damn thing and trade the brawn Run it back returns next Yes, it is time for a new Game blow it up build it up. These are all teams that are sort of hovering around that 500 mark And we have to decide their fates a lot of pressure on you guys, but here we go. How about The raptors we start with them currently one game under 500. However, they're sitting their ninth in the east They could make siacum barns ananobia available van vleet has a player option for the following season that you probably Opt out of chandler should the raptors blow it up or build it up Uh, no, I don't think so and look they were 15 and 17 last year before new years and ended up being the five seed and uh They have so much young talent. They have an all mba player and oh and uh in siacum Oh g's playing his best basketball I think the biggest disappointment so far has been scottie barns is because you know when you're rookie of the year You expect guys to take that step and and he's just been kind of struggling a little bit Nick nurse to me is a top five coach in the league I don't think they panic. I think uh, you know, I think they continue to build this group They're one of those teams that have about five to seven guys from six seven to six ten that are long athletic Can shoot the ball they defend they switch pick and rolls Um, I love the raptors. I I think they can actually make noise in the playoffs with uh With this current roster. So I I don't think they should blow it up at all and I think they're going to be just fun So they should build it up guy. You're really killing my game here. Build it up. Build it up. Build it up I would love for them to blow it up. So maybe, you know, og and movie can be a net or something like that but Look under messai under nick nurse, they're going to be patient. They know what they have They know what they're building. They have a nice mix of really young Guys just scratching the surface and some vets who are there for the title year They're gonna they're gonna build it up and they're gonna take their time with it as well They have scotty barns the rainy rookie of the year who For all my complaints about his game You can see what they what they see in him going forward He can be a honest type player as he goes on when you see him in person and realize Just how big he is handling the ball like that and how strong he is You kind of get what they're going for and they chase the honest that year where he was almost a free agent So, you know, that's kind of the recipe that messai has in mind, but yeah, they're going to build this up They're going to take their time I think, you know, people on the fringes like gary trend may be available as they look forward to next year and beyond And maybe fred van veleet with that player option and with his uncertain future But the you know the foundation of that team pascal and and and scotty barns. They're there to stay I guess is a dark horse with his contract situation, but they're going to hold on to all those guys for as long as they can I love that the game within the game is going to be eddie shopping for the nets within this game right here So here we go heat currently 13 and 15. They're 10th in the east Obviously, if they decide to blow it up splashy pieces would be a jimmy butler a kyle lowery eddie Blow it up or build it up It's kyle lowery is splashing piece. I mean not anymore, but it's like if you barely watch you think yes Yeah, I I mean there's probably a couple gms who barely watch so they might be able to pull them but I would I would blow this up much like the raptors. They have Probably the best coach in the league And they have a strong foundation there with their front office and their ownership where look they want to win And they know how to build a winner. They've done it with mega stars They've done it with homegrown talents and just added all the nice cherry on top at the end They want to win they have players they believe in they have foundational pieces They also have very tradable players. They've been trying to trade dunk and robertson for since he signed his contract Tyler hero's name has been mentioned Kyle lowery's name has been mentioned and on and on and on Um, I think this is a good opportunity for them to blow it up cashing on those guys while they can And move forward from there Yeah, uh, yeah, I don't think they should blow it up, but I don't it's confusing I don't think they should build it up either like they definitely need to do something I like their I like their team. I love hero. I love bam. I love jimmy like eddie just said I think the dream scenario they move lowery. I think he's kind of on a steady decline dunk and robertson You know, he got that big deal and really was out of the rotation for a long time um They have too much talent for me to blow it up fully But they they ideally would love to to move one of those pieces we just talked about but When you have that core going forward that that coach and spo that that dna Uh, the heater one of those teams were like, I don't care how bad they struggle this year I don't want to see them in the playoffs Um, I love max truce and they have these other guys that can kind of fill into I think they're gonna be fine. I just think they need to do they need to make a move but not fully blow it up So so a half like a renovate. We'll just renovate from the inside. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it. Uh, the chicago Bulls right now 11 and 15 sitting 11th in the east Obviously some names damar de rosin, zaklavine, busavich Those would probably be guys if we're talking about blowing it up chandler So should they blow it up or build it up? They should blow it up. They should have blown it up last week They're gonna lose Uh, this summer damar is playing at such a high level that if you wait too long You could lose him for nothing in 2024 when he's a free agent or wait and this, you know, eventually his trade value goes down Um, I don't know when lawns or balls can ever play again And and normally a coach wouldn't be into tanking, but they just gave billy d this security They gave him this extension even though there was rumors with him and levine having beef Um, I think you blow it up because also if you don't you make the playoffs The orlano magic get your your pick the top four Protected pick so you might as well if you're the bulls blow it up right now Try to start losing as many games as possible get into that one two three or four pick area Because if not orlando's sitting there pretty getting their pick and they're going to lose these guys in free agency for nothing Yeah, i'm with chandler They have a real opportunity with vooch and in his expiring contract and then they really want to go for it The martyr rosen is is is an attractive name for a lot of teams. He was when they signed him and You know zack levine, I don't know if he's straight eligible this season But man, they're looking at that contract and him recovering from this knee injury and wondering what happened there The lawns over all situation chandler mentioned is tough That he should be coming back within the next month or so, but who knows at this point They're on the outside looking in for sure that pick is the there's the biggest problem they have They're going to blow it up. They got to blow it all the way up because they don't want to one have the six pick And then do all this for nothing But some cap space and a couple of rotation players, but yeah, I think they should I just don't think they're coming. They just re-signed their coach. They know that that pick is protected They're waiting on guys to recover fully from injury. I think they're going to wait it out and I think it's a mistake And this is one of those teams that we're beginning of the season We thought maybe with this roster they could be kind of in the hunt after this many games and They're sitting at the 11c. They're struggling levine on this big contract has not been himself Like I said, he's beefing with billy d and they kind of just made their decision what it seemed like with extending billy d Um, I think this is the situation where they need to blow it up now. They have very good trade assets and There's no reason in waiting and and winning more games and losing that pick to Orlando So I think this is the prime team to absolutely blow it up What about Minnesota one game under 500 11th in the west. Oh good. I'm glad eddy likes that because now I'm going to go to you Uh, should they just consider? Blowing this whole thing up or continue to build it up eddy Did they blow it up this summer with this trade that might be one of the worst trades of all time like They completely ruined the trade market for most of the league With this with this ridiculous trade that felt ridiculous in the moment and it is even worse now Um, they can't afford to blow it up. They they bought in for the long term. They've given away Four first round picks. They don't have any choice I do think there are moves that can happen on the fringes If they want to try to get rid of d low who has not played up the par and and on and on But yeah, I mean they have to build it up. They got to wait for cat They got to try to push their way back into playoff contention They don't have any choice Yeah, this is they they can't blow it By blowing it up You're admitting that this is the worst trade ever for Rudy and you're admitting that you're wrong already After 25 games or whatever it's been, but yeah, I like them maybe trying to move d low They they need a vet point guard. They need a they need a mike conley in the trade market They need someone like that to kind of glue this team together because they do have the talent They can I imagine they could get a lot for towns, but In my eyes, you're not trading go bare because you get about half is what you just gave up for if you did that now You're not trading anthony edwards. Literally unless it's for luke or yannis or someone like that So the I don't think there's moves here to make Unless it's like a d low or someone like that, which I don't know. I don't know how to help the situation But you can't you can't blow it up quite yet after making that monumental trade I mean sometimes you just have to admit you screwed up Really really really badly the lakers. Look, I know that the vibes in lakerville have have changed a bit, right? But they are still 11 and 15. They are still 12 In the west. So I ask you should they consider trading an anthony davis Oh lebron james chandler or do you build it up? I think you build it up at this point. I think you try and get rid of rust And I think you do add like by donovitch these rumors Man, I'd be salivating if I was them because that is exactly What they need. I don't think they blow it up and get rid of ad or lebron ad is proved now that he's a top five top 10 player in this league still But they need shooters they need pieces that they need they need by donovitch's either one by the way When I saw by donovitch, I didn't care which one because that's exactly who they need And and they found a little something here when you have those guys and they're healthy and they're playing Do I think this seems a contender? No, I don't at all But when you add some shooters around ad and lebron that both their last time out, you know dominated the game I think you just hold on to it. You're not going to get much and I think you try and just you know What we said early on just add shooters around this but bagdanovitch is having a year He I can't help but think how good he would be for them Uh, I say you blow it up. There's I've been on the trade machine all morning There's a couple of anthony davis to next trades that work. I don't want to say who But they work uh blow it up It was kind of shocking that everybody was so high on the lakers and then I go look at the standings and they're 11 And 15 they're the 12 scenes too. I kind of blew my mind But you know six or four six their last four self-game gets something tonight I think the south is lost. Let's just see what she was you can give her ad from brooklyn I don't know. I think there's some good options there. Are you willing to move to la because I feel like that's piece is going to be kevin durant Like are you gonna you going west or I am I'm definitely willing to move to la but in this scenario. I think I think the trade is a little bit different Yeah, that would be a that would blow up everything. All right. We're taking a quick break If you listen to our subliminal message yesterday, you probably did all right But if you listen to chandler You lost it's parley time ladies and gentlemen. We'll be back Well, we like to hold ourselves accountable here at run it back. So let's take a look at yesterday eddie Many many flowers to you. Do you want to speak to your teammate now about what he did yesterday? Hey, I mean some of us did our job and He's a man of many means. I think he owes me I was it 230 dollars Send you my cash out bro God forbid I god forbid I take the best team in the mba to go and play against the covers Finally, of course, why wouldn't they play up their potential when I when I take Celtics against them and then ready jackson He's got the quick seven points in the history of the mba and then finishes with seven points in 26 minutes You can't make this shit up That's what I knew. I was like chandler has a special special gift We don't know what it's called yet, but it is special But the beauty is if you saw the thunder cover It was the most intense 30 seconds of 10 point basketball I slid back and forth just waiting to crush you for that and the It just Couldn't catch a great trap that half court and stole the ball from luka to cut it to seven And I jumped out of my seat like I won a title. I gamble is amazing. Like this is crazy Don't you guys are trying to help people? Yeah, I like to do it. But don't do it like chandler Okay, so the beauty is chandler time to redeem yourself. Uh, think about it for a second eddie your two legs are All right, jaylin green over 21 Points against the sun. He had 30 last time you played them I'm going with the young fella and then I have what's the second one. Oh warriors with the good one first the bucks Uh, yeah, let's let's get the warriors their first big road win. I'm all for it. They are do they are do chandler. How about you? Here we go. Okay first four pelicans They're hot. They got them. They got their player of the week and zion jazz. I think they blew their wad I think they're done the come on like there's nothing left to do besides the pelicans to win by two points today Okay, okay, and I'm doubling down on the self ticks. I just you cannot come to la I do understand that they're on this long back end of a road trip But come on. It's the lakers. They're struggling and you lost last night You didn't even none of their guys played too many minutes because this was blowout I think the cell takes makeup for my bad l last night. I mean there it is 20 bucks will get you 238 I will say this chandler unlike yesterday when I knew you were going to be wrong These feel a little better. So when they don't hit it's gonna it's gonna hurt guys. It's gonna hurt Well, you knew I was gonna be wrong yesterday I knew it. I felt it and I should have Uh, everybody enjoy the games tonight. We will be back tomorrow. We have been run it back and best of luck to you all
