Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's official.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Lebron James two year, one hundred million dollar max deal
to return to the Lakers, player option, no trade clause,
woj bomb.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Okay, so he's not going to do the Tom Brady deal.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Then, couldn't get who they wanted in terms of I'll
take a pay cut, but here's the guys we can get.
Also doesn't look good then for DeRozan, But then, you know,
couldn't you.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I saw the report last night that DeRozan, if he
goes there, he's going to have to expect to get
less money than what he was asking for.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, that'd be a great move though, going home playing
with the Lakers. I share Michael Thompson's frustration. You know,
if that's my son, I would want him in Dallas.
Who cares about the Mavericks. You're talking about a Conic franchise.
Your dad played with the organization, Your dad loves the organization.
It's Los Angeles Lakers. I thought, if I'm Clay, I

(00:50):
go there. But certainly tax has played a role.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I was going to say, have you ever paid California
to take that? That was big I have.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, Well, the guy's also made a ton of money
though too.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I know that he used to take a boat to
the games, which I can't blame him. Uh huh, Captain.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Clay, he's driven by that list. And I went a
fifth ring and MAVs got to the title, and.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Boy, they're gonna be bad defensively. They lost Ark Jones
bringing Clay Thompson.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Would call, Yeah, it's gonna be a rough defensive outfit,
no doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm finding the West to be uh much weaker at
this point of the season. Obviously in the off season
here early on.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Horrible job by the Nuggets, horrible Clippers, Warriors at this point,
Lakers not a great job.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
I can't believe the Clippers palm are now worth more
than Bill Gates with the news yesterday and it's moving
into the new Arena and okay, well we can't win it,
so yeah, bye bye PG and wow, it's just we're
gonna get, We're gonna have.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
We're gonna go.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Into this new arena with a superstar who's never healthy,
James Harden two for seventy and Jones, yikes, what would.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
You offer James Harden? Realistically?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I like our buddy Scott Tchibuk, who's a pro better
He'll come on he spits fire all the time. He
said weeks ago that he would not let Rudy go
Berart play for free on his team. I don't think
I would offer James Harden more than ten million dollars
a year concur I would not do it.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Can't do it. That's fine.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I had a couple, had a couple of good games
last year in the Boston series, at a couple at
a good game in the Dallas series.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
But can't do it.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Can't count on them.
