Speaker 1 (00:01):
Unafraid Show Daily Live. We gotta talk about the Dallas Mavericks.
They traded Luka Danci to the Lakers for Anthony Davis
and the entire sports community is confused.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I got the answers for you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, some of the players knew, despite what they will
sit up there and try to tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And we got to talk about why.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
The country music community hates Beyonce in country music and.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Really like, why why are they mad at black folks getting.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The country music when we are one of the people
who created country music and the Chiefs they're the most
sports they're the most hated sports team.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Everybody favor in them, but why it is okay to
root for them in the Super Bowl. And you got
Miles Garrett asking for a trade from the Cleveland Browns
and why they should honor that in his request up
here on Unafraid Show. And you guys make sure that
you guys like subscribe, get noifications, tell a friend about
(01:01):
the show.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Let's get to it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
All, right, So we are going to start with what's
going on with the Luka Doncic trade. So he gets
traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers,
and this is a dude that seemed completely untradeable. And
if we go back to last week here on Unafraid
Show Daily Live, I gave you the answers to the
(01:39):
test already that the NBA teams they are pushing back
on their players. They're pushing back on the player empowerment.
That thing swung way too far out of control. And hey, like,
we're gonna get this thing back under control. We don't
care who it is. And NBA players are stunned. This
is like, this is a rebuke of Luca by the
(02:02):
Dallas Mavericks. And did just signals Okay, everybody's on notice.
Don't go by a fifteen million dollar house like Luca
just did. We'll trade you up out of here if
things ain't going the way that we want to. So
I was like everybody else, let me paint the picture
for you. I am at a high school basketball game.
I'm watching Notre Dame, the number one player in the
(02:23):
country into twenty twenty six class playing against Sierra Canyon.
I'm in into it dome and I get an alert
from Shams. Okay, pull it up. Boom, Wait, Luca got traded.
I'm sitting with my boy Button. I'm like, bro, what
ain't no way. There's no way that this is true
for Anthony Davis basically straight up. Yes there was a
(02:44):
Utah component to it, but it's basically a straight up trade,
like and Maxie Kleeber's going back to a couple players
from the Lakers, Christi and the other guys like, but
Lebron's still there, Austin He's still there, Dalton connects still there.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'm like, this ain't there ain't no way this is true.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So we worked through that, and then I go to
ESPN the network, but they were probably in replay at
the time because I'm like, probably nothing going across the
bottom line. It's been five minutes nothing, so I'm still
thinking that this is fake. And then Shams tweets another tweet,
Yes this is real. I'm like, man, they went real
(03:26):
far on this damn hack. But then once I figured
out it was real, I was like, oh my god,
this is exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What I told y'all was coming.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
They are pushing back, and I started talking about this
as it related to pat Riley and the Miami Heat
for pushing back on Jimmy Butler and the over correction
from player empowerment where players had no power about where
they were going them being traded anything like that, and
(03:55):
now players be like, nah, I don't want to be here.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm not showing up. I'm not trade me here. And
that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Jimmy Butler, I'm not going to Golden State because I'm
not signing an extension. Now, he gonna find himself out
of the league if he don't straighten up and fly right.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
And the owners are pushing back.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
They started with the sixty five game rule about making
the all NBA teams MVPs.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And everything, so they pushed back there.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
But this right here with Luca, this was the ultimate
example of a franchise exercise in his power. Because who
is more powerful in the NBA right now than a
twenty five year old coming off of Finals appearance who
has not one, not two, not three, not four, but
five all NBA first team selections That is one more
(04:46):
than dark No Whiskey and Kevin Garnett. And he even
has one more the first team selections than Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Like that's how good that this dude is.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And people feel like that the trade came out of nowhere,
but it didn't because last year was chaotic for them.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Luca shows up out of shape.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
He's got a dad by he's twenty five, but he's
an absolute baller. So on one hand, you're like, bro,
you can't trade one of the best players in the league,
basically because you can't get equal value.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
In the NBA.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You can trade twelve players and still can't get the
production that you get out of Lebron in his prime
Luca in the prime, because only one player can play
on the court. I mean, well, only five players can
play on the court at a time. So we go
back to the final, Well, when the MAVs made the
finals and you had Michael Finley come out and take
(05:48):
the beer out of Luca's hands when he was talking
to his pops. This felt that moment felt significant at
that moment. And then when you think about Brian Winhorse
saying calling them out after Game three, the organization, and
rightfully so, because I have said this in private and
I will say it in public, owners need to push
(06:11):
back on some level because the reciprocal relationship between the
fans and the players, the players aren't honoring their contract
as a whole, not playing enough games. They think they're
bigger than the game. They don't think that they need
the fans when you actually do. And this is the issue.
(06:34):
And for Luca, the organization is saying, you know what,
we do not want to We don't feel comfortable giving
you a five year, three hundred and forty five million
dollar contract, which is almost seventy million dollars a year
on average. We don't feel comfortable doing that because we
don't because once that ink drives on the paper, that's
(06:55):
fully guaranteed in the NBA for your superstar toplight type players,
even though the other players do have some non guaranteed
money and all of that. But for Luca, and at
that point in time, you have lost all control. Luca
can basically cuss everybody out at work. He can be like, listen,
I show up late for team meetings. Yes, you can
(07:16):
find me ten thousand dollars here and there. I'm gonna
do what I wanna do and mess up your culture.
So the Mavericks were like, all right, cool, let's get
out in front of this. So our ownership doesn't feel comfortable, like,
do you realize how damning that that is for a
franchise that you've been so good with with to the
finals with because he was god awful in the finals
(07:40):
on defense, on defense, got off and I'm a Luca fan,
but it was embarrassing to watch. And now the team
is saying, so, imagine what's been going on behind the
scenes in terms of his workouts, his staying in shape,
his cardio is eating because he's been in and out
the lineup with soft tissue ish injuries. And yes, he's
(08:03):
been really good, but if you do not take care
of your body, your body's gonna give out on you
at some point in time. That's what's going to happen.
And they're like, maybe we only got two three more
years of good workout of him, and then we go, oh,
him seventy million a fat guy, seventy seventy million dollars
a year.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, how about no? And this trade was.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So blockbustering, monumental because I was trying to equate it
and people have tried to equate it to other sports.
So here's the best that I could come up with.
I said in the NFL because Anthony Davis and people
act like he's a slouching this we're talking about one
of the seventy five greatest players of all time, a
perennial defensive first teamer, dude who can score. He's averaging
(08:50):
twenty six, twenty eight points a game right right now.
The dude's a ball so like, let's not act like
he's not a generational talent too, right, He's like WMB
one point oh essentially, and then Wimby that we see
now is Wimby two point zh Like that's what Anthony
Davis was is but just he just ain't as good
as Wimby or the potential is different. So an NFL
(09:15):
comp to this would be Joe Burrow. Who is is
he Patrick Mahomes?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But it's really damn good exactly. That's why the comp
works because Joe Burrow is super good, but team ain't
always having the type of success that you want to have.
But you look at him and you're like, dude's an
absolute baller and this probably ain't his fault. So it
would be like trading him for Defensive Player of the
Year TJ.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Whtt. That's because TJ. Wats a baller.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He's a Hall of Famer, generational player, all of those things,
but he just doesn't quite matter the same amount that
Joe Burrow does. I thought that was a good comp
Now in college football, and before you sit here in
a like, oh, George, you and Ralph are just on
here questioning whether arch Manning is it and tell me
arch Manning for Caleb Downs.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That's what this would be like. If you're Texas.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Do you think Caleb Downs is a ridiculously good player
and all American Thorpe Award finalists Thorpe Award, Yeah, all
sorts of awards, yes, But can he ever be as
valuable as a quarterback?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Nope? That's that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And in baseball, it would be like trading Paul Skins
for Bobby Witt.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's what it would be like.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And I was thinking about this as because I'm a
Lakers fan.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
How did I feel about this?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I was shocked, But at the same time, I'm like,
this is intriguing because Lebron's getting old. I think that
the man has two more that the twenty five to
twenty six season is likely his last season.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
That's the way I feel about it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And we're going to be in a situation where as
a Lakers fan, you.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Need the future.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Luca's the future, but also pairing him with Lebron, you
hope you hope you hope that Lucas sees this as
a rebuke of him because he is highly competitive and
he's mad. Oh you want Luca hissed, because then he'll
be like, hey, Yobron, I'm coming to come work out
with you. I'm gonna show anybody that question this all right,
(11:29):
I'm on, y'all ass Now, everything that you said, okay, cool,
I'm gonna remember it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'm gonna write it down.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And you getting busted for this because we you know,
because great players holdless. But the people I feel worse
for are the MAVs fans.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
They're boycotting outside the stadium because they've been through this before,
just not like this, because Jason Kidd was All NBA
First Team five times after the MAVs shipped him out.
Not before like Luca though, because Steve Nash won two
MVPs after Dallas let him go to Phoenix, but again
(12:08):
that was after, and then you had the MAVs employees.
They're probably going through hell too. Imagine being like working
for the MAVs right now and you're, you know, a
twenty five year old, twenty seven year old and you
gotta cold call people. Hey, you ready to renew your
(12:28):
season tickets. You want to buy some season tickets today?
How do you think that's gonna go over. It's a
lot of people that gotta clear down some damn all
of the Luca billboards. I can't even imagine how many
Luca billboards that there are around American Airlines Arena, or
(12:49):
how they are around the city.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Bro, you gotta pull all of that down.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And nobody knew or did people really know, because I
do not believe under any shape, form or fashion that Luca,
Lebron and Anthony Davis had no clue about this, no clue.
I do believe that the MAVs probably were like, Luca, Bro,
this ain't gonna work. Listen, you gotta do something different,
(13:15):
or we gonna do something different. But at no point
in time did Luca believed that they would actually trade him.
I don't believe that he actually ever believed that, because
that's not what NBA teams do. So then I was like,
do I believe that Lebron knew? Because they said Lebron
was shocked at dinner, But then you had Chris Haynes
(13:36):
say that Lebron's agent Rich Paul that he had been
looked in about this a couple of days ago and
Lebron and Rich Paul is Anthony Davis's agent. So originally
I was like, brug, there's no way that Rich Paul
didn't bring this up to Lebron and Anthony Davis. But
(13:57):
then after further thought in detail on this, because Anthony
Davis had a trade kicker that means that if you
get traded that the team then has to pay you
a certain percentage.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
His was like six million dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
He waved his trade kicker six million dollars now to
that way, then the MAVs would be under the salary cap,
so then they have more financial flexibility and freedom to
add more players. So and this was said right after
the trade was announced. So I'm like, so if they
(14:32):
just if it just broke after the Lakers played the Knicks,
which Anthony Davis didn't play in the game. Yes, he
did have the oblique injury all that stuff, but still
so if that was the case, why would like, how
could he just have the wherewithal in the shockedness and
the hurt and the frustration and the everything be like, yeah, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Wave my trade kicker like that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Ain't just the conversation that you just pick up the
phone over six million dollars and be like, nah, nah,
it's cool. That's a all right, let me let me
think about this for a minute. That's the type of
conversation that that sort of conversation is.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It might be think about.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It for thirty minutes, forty minutes, an hour, two days,
one day. Whatever it is, there requires some thought to
give up six million dollars. And then the question is
did Lebron know? This is where I waffled about, But
where I landed is maybe Lebron did not know because
Rich Paul may have been briefed about this, like Chris
(15:35):
Haynes said, and then he told talk to Anthony Davis
about it, and Anthony Davis was like, hey, Rich, do
not tell Lebron. And because if Lebron knew, that could
get blown up. And You're like, how would Rich Paul
not tell Lebron? Because because Anthony Davis can be like, yo,
(15:56):
I know that Lebron is your boy, but you are
my agent. You have to do what's best for me
and Lebron. When he left Miami, d Wade didn't even
know When Lebron decides to move XYZ Lakers, whatever he
worried about. What nobody else is thinking. Lebron's gonna act
in Lebron's best interest. So Anthony Davis could have been
sitting there like, you know what, I'm gonna act in
(16:18):
my best interest right now.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So that's what I believe.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
And I you know, the trade is big because usually
when Lebron James's name is attached to something, the Lebron
part sucks all the oxygen out of the room. But
Lebron is actually a footnote in this whole thing. And
are we sure at this point in time in their
(16:43):
career that Lebron is so much bigger of a figure
than Luca that he'll be the one that gets him
to change his conditioning and defensive effort. That's just a question.
You guys can hop into comments. Do you believe that
Lebron James knew? Do you believe that he's some sort
of way orchestrated and it's pretending he didn't know. Do
(17:07):
you believe Luca had any idea? I don't believe that. Well,
Luca just finished building a fifteen million dollar house and
people are like, well, there's no way, looking to you
just build a fifteen It don't take ten minutes to
build a fit or two weeks to build a fifteen
million dollar house.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
This takes years. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Now on to the next thing that caused the big
to do out in the world. That's the Grammys. So
there were two things that were notable. There was obviously
Beyonce getting the Country album the Album of the Year
for Cowboy Carter, and then there was Kendrick Lamar getting
(17:49):
five Grammys off a dish track.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So we're gonna cover both.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
The first thing, though, there's a sentiment out in the
world right now that black folks are culture vulturing country
music right now, that they are cost playing country music,
and there's a pushback from the country community who was
(18:14):
upset that Beyonce got the Country Album of a Year.
There was an incident that happened at the Country Music
Awards where the guy who won New Artists of the
Year was like, and we didn't need no Shabuzi because
for some reason, they don't feel comfortable with black folks
in country music now. And this all started, like the
(18:38):
pushback against it, even though that there've always been black
people in country music.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It started with.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Old Town Road and Lil nas X because they were like, listen,
I don't care who you got on this song. This
ain't a country song because you ain't a country artist. Now,
there was something said that I believe wholeheartedly, and that's
the idea. Did that genre that you're supposed to stick
(19:04):
in your genre? Oh, that's not the genre of music
that this this person makes post Malone makes makes pop music.
Now all of a sudden, he's a country artist. Like
they didn't bother bother that. But here's the thing. Genre
is a box that is used to stifle creativity because
they want you to stay where they're comfortable. And they're like,
(19:27):
this is not the Johnny Cash, this is not the
way Elvis did it. This is not the way Hank
Williams give us our country music back.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Black folks have been in country music longer than people
even fully understand. You gotta go back to the Charlie Patton,
uh Defork Bailey at a Baker, Charlie Pride Days, and.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Even the banjo.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The banjo is literally derived from like from an African instrument,
and black folks have been in country music for so long.
But here is the thing country is just like hip hop.
And I've told people this for a very long time
(20:13):
who get mad about K pop, about white folks in
hip hop. Hip hop is no longer and it has
not for a very long time been a black folks music.
It is not about race. Hip Hop is the culture.
(20:34):
There are white folks who are part of part of
the culture. There are black folks, aging folks like it
is a culture. It is a lifestyle. Now it is
socially acceptable music in restaurants, in department stores and everything else.
Hip Hop is not just a genre, it is a culture.
(20:54):
It is a lifestyle. And that's the exact same thing
that country music is. So so No, white folks and
rap and rap and hip hop are not culture vultures
when they are a part of the community. And country folks,
you know what, Oh my god, I was born in Memphis, Tennis, Tennessee.
(21:16):
Do you know how many damn country folks I actually know?
You know how many people in the South, no black
folks who are country to their core? Do you know
there are black cowboys have been black cowboys. This is
the problem is that is that there is some sort
of way that that that folks in country music feel
(21:37):
like that their genre is being gentrified by the likes
of Shaboozie, Caine Brown, Alison Russell of Britney, Spencer Breeland,
Amethyst uh Kia.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
That's what they think.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But there is there's obviously pop country, there's all sorts
of like but it is a lifestyle. But people think
that because Beyonce spent the majority of her music making
her time making pop music and hip hop music or
whatever genre that you want to put them in. That's
(22:16):
not the way it works. Because great musicians are supposed
to evolve. They are supposed to express their creative freedom
and try to spread their talent and gift to the world.
Think about this, and artists who a longstanding great artist,
(22:40):
the music from their first album should not sound.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Like the music from their eighth albums.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It should not the fifth album shouldn't sound the same
as the third, none of that, because they are supposed.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
To be stealing and.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Evolving from different art forms to make something new and
great for us. So the idea that that a an
artist expressing creative freedom in a different genre is some
kind of way, a theft or a or a rebuke
of what the actual culture is. It's not how it works.
(23:16):
It's an appreciation for it. And you got so many
black folks that are into country. I am into country music,
my kids are into country music.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
And I'm a hip hop guy.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I'm listening to everything from the artists I mentioned, to
Florida Georgia Line to to Marin Morris to everybody in between,
Luke Brian, Luke Colmbs of forty HP Johnson on a
flat bottom metal'm I'm gonna save you from that, but
(23:49):
it's in my court. I love it and it's okay.
So I know that that this feels like that, this
is like like like basketball, right, that all of a sudden,
it's gonna be black people infiltrating all of your country
music and you and you won't have what's near and
pure to your heart.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Do you know what? Just embrace it, man.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It will cause some of your artists to venture into
other places. Limp Biscuit made a damn album with jay
Z like rock has done it, pop has done it,
and you have people that cross over all over the time,
and you gotta be okay with it, all right. The
other thing that happened at the Grabbys Kendrick Lamar opened
(24:33):
up his mouth and got five Grammys. According according to
Drake Now, his song not Like Us, which was a
dish track to Drake, it beat Old Town Road for
the most weeks at number one, and the album GNX
was his fifth album to debut number one, and it
beat out the Damn Wicked soundtrack do one Record of
(24:57):
the Year for not Like Us. And I was thinking
about this, how this related to Drake, Because when you
push back against the machine, the machine will push.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Back at you.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And this is why Kendrick got some got not Like
Us where he is. I mean, think about it. You're
sitting there at the Grammys. Your peers, Drake's peers are
sitting there singing and it's probably a minor.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You got Taylor Swift dancing to it.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
You got Beyonce kid Uh Blue Blue Ivy singing it.
You got the crowds. Dude, it was the biggest song
in the world this year. And if you're Drake, when
you said Drake, watched Drake, oh, I mean watch Kendrick
open his mouth and here comes a Grammy.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
The Grammys didn't didn't like that. And if you're Drake,
it is time. If you want to continue your career,
you gotta let go of a tough talk. You gotta
let go of that and get back to making music
for the ladies. That's what you gotta get get back to.
Ain't no more. You know, we gonna we gonna do this,
(26:09):
and my dude's gonna do no. You gotta let it.
Let it go, Drake. Just focus on the future. Just
admit you lost focus on the future. Stop the lawsuits
and it's a bad look. I'm not saying that you
are one hundred percent wrong in some of the accusations
that you made, but they doing the same thing for
you too. You just lost on this one and that's
(26:31):
actually wrapped. You gotta take it on the chin the
same way that you gave it to mc mill, the
same way that you came and push your t bro
It come back to you. It's all right, It's all right.
We all take ls sometimes, all right. The last thing up,
speaking of trades, today, Miles Garrett Dude put out a
(26:56):
demand after making six Pro Bowls in eight years with
the Cleveland Brown's, The Dude has already registered one hundred
and two and a half sacks before the age of thirty.
Also managed to go twenty five games below five hundred
in the regular season and play in the browns Loan
playoff win in the last thirty five years. So Miles
(27:16):
Garrett in his statement, thank the city of Cleveland, think
the people there. I want to stay there, but I'm
here to win now. His statement said I didn't come
to go to from Cleveland to Canton, as in, go
to Cleveland and then be a Hall of Famer. He said,
I came here to win the Super Bowl. And Miles Garrett,
(27:38):
by him saying that statement, by him saying I didn't
come to go from Cleveland to Canton. I came here
to win super Bowls, That in of itself is superstar privilege.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
That's what it is. Superstar privilege.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Because Miles Garrett one hundred and two sacks, already has
a huge contract in line for another contract extension around
four years, one hundred and thirty five million dollars. He
has the privilege of not worrying about his legacy, not
worrying about contracts, not that. Listen, all I care about
is winning. Yes, you do, because the money part is
(28:15):
already taken care of. If Miles Garrett was making three
million dollars right right now, he wouldn't give a damn
who he went to. As long as the check was right,
he would want to win. Like, I'm not debating whether
he wants to win a super Bowl or not. I
definitely do believe that he does. But it's interesting that
(28:35):
when we hear people say that, and people will point
to him and see, like, that's a man who really
cares about winning.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yes, it is, but it also is.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
A man who's got his finances taken care of already,
who's one hundred million dollars up already. That's the difference
is that you can have the luxury of not caring
about Like Patrick Mahomes, I'm not worried about anything else.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
All I care about is winning. I bet you do.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
When you got four hundred million dollars on the books
and your stuff's guaranteed every other year, it's real easy
to not care about anything else but win it. So
that's the superstar privilege of it. And if you're the Browns,
do you acquiesce this man's trade?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I say yes, I say yes.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
The Cleveland Browns their defense was really good this year.
They got offensive problems holes in the roster. I equate
Miles Garret to if you went on the price is
right great game show, regardless of whether, no matter who
(29:46):
the host is. If you go on prices right and
you win a Bugatti, two million dollar Bugatti, but you
have a history, you can't make your rent, You're trying
to go back to school, you're trying to build a
new life for yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You're trying to start a business, all of these things.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But you don't have the money and you're broke, so
you can't pay for an all change, you can't pay
for a flat tire, none of that. What should you
do with that Bugatti? Do you park that Bugatti in
the driveway? Do you park it in the garage? Or
do you sell the damn Bugatti?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Simple?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Sell the Bugatti. That's what you do. Sell the Bugatti
and go draft that dual Carter or somebody. Sell the
Bugatti and drive and draft another guy that you got
to pay in four or five more years and get
plenty of draft picks back. How about this, You go
do what the Oklahoma City thunder have done and Sam
(30:50):
Presty where they got all of these damn draft picks,
but also the best team in the NBA. They didn't
used to people question when they sold Russell West, when
they sold Kevin Durant when they got rid of of
Paul George all of that stuff, because they were like,
we're gonna build this from the ground up. We're gonna
have multiple picks every single year, we can trade them
(31:11):
away for later picks and.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
All of that. That's what you do. If you're the
Cleveland Browns, start over.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Sell all your good things because him under this huge
contract don't help you at all on the losing season.
He's disgruntled. You're building with an old dude with a
young team. It ain't gonna work out well. Sell sell
the Bugatti and you will get a handsome return back
(31:37):
and then build your team back up. I'm just saying,

Unafraid Show Daily Live. We gotta talk about the Dallas Mavericks.
They traded Luka Danci to the Lakers for Anthony Davis
and the entire sports community is confused.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I got the answers for you.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, some of the players knew, despite what they will
sit up there and try to tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And we got to talk about why.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
The country music community hates Beyonce in country music and.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Really like, why why are they mad at black folks getting.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
The country music when we are one of the people
who created country music and the Chiefs they're the most
sports they're the most hated sports team.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Everybody favor in them, but why it is okay to
root for them in the Super Bowl. And you got
Miles Garrett asking for a trade from the Cleveland Browns
and why they should honor that in his request up
here on Unafraid Show. And you guys make sure that
you guys like subscribe, get noifications, tell a friend about
(01:01):
the show.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Let's get to it.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
All, right, So we are going to start with what's
going on with the Luka Doncic trade. So he gets
traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers,
and this is a dude that seemed completely untradeable. And
if we go back to last week here on Unafraid
Show Daily Live, I gave you the answers to the
(01:39):
test already that the NBA teams they are pushing back
on their players. They're pushing back on the player empowerment.
That thing swung way too far out of control. And hey, like,
we're gonna get this thing back under control. We don't
care who it is. And NBA players are stunned. This
is like, this is a rebuke of Luca by the
(02:02):
Dallas Mavericks. And did just signals Okay, everybody's on notice.
Don't go by a fifteen million dollar house like Luca
just did. We'll trade you up out of here if
things ain't going the way that we want to. So
I was like everybody else, let me paint the picture
for you. I am at a high school basketball game.
I'm watching Notre Dame, the number one player in the
(02:23):
country into twenty twenty six class playing against Sierra Canyon.
I'm in into it dome and I get an alert
from Shams. Okay, pull it up. Boom, Wait, Luca got traded.
I'm sitting with my boy Button. I'm like, bro, what
ain't no way. There's no way that this is true
for Anthony Davis basically straight up. Yes there was a
(02:44):
Utah component to it, but it's basically a straight up trade,
like and Maxie Kleeber's going back to a couple players
from the Lakers, Christi and the other guys like, but
Lebron's still there, Austin He's still there, Dalton connects still there.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'm like, this ain't there ain't no way this is true.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So we worked through that, and then I go to
ESPN the network, but they were probably in replay at
the time because I'm like, probably nothing going across the
bottom line. It's been five minutes nothing, so I'm still
thinking that this is fake. And then Shams tweets another tweet,
Yes this is real. I'm like, man, they went real
(03:26):
far on this damn hack. But then once I figured
out it was real, I was like, oh my god,
this is exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What I told y'all was coming.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
They are pushing back, and I started talking about this
as it related to pat Riley and the Miami Heat
for pushing back on Jimmy Butler and the over correction
from player empowerment where players had no power about where
they were going them being traded anything like that, and
(03:55):
now players be like, nah, I don't want to be here.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm not showing up. I'm not trade me here. And
that's it.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Jimmy Butler, I'm not going to Golden State because I'm
not signing an extension. Now, he gonna find himself out
of the league if he don't straighten up and fly right.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
And the owners are pushing back.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
They started with the sixty five game rule about making
the all NBA teams MVPs.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And everything, so they pushed back there.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
But this right here with Luca, this was the ultimate
example of a franchise exercise in his power. Because who
is more powerful in the NBA right now than a
twenty five year old coming off of Finals appearance who
has not one, not two, not three, not four, but
five all NBA first team selections That is one more
(04:46):
than dark No Whiskey and Kevin Garnett. And he even
has one more the first team selections than Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Like that's how good that this dude is.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And people feel like that the trade came out of nowhere,
but it didn't because last year was chaotic for them.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Luca shows up out of shape.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
He's got a dad by he's twenty five, but he's
an absolute baller. So on one hand, you're like, bro,
you can't trade one of the best players in the league,
basically because you can't get equal value.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
In the NBA.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
You can trade twelve players and still can't get the
production that you get out of Lebron in his prime
Luca in the prime, because only one player can play
on the court. I mean, well, only five players can
play on the court at a time. So we go
back to the final, Well, when the MAVs made the
finals and you had Michael Finley come out and take
(05:48):
the beer out of Luca's hands when he was talking
to his pops. This felt that moment felt significant at
that moment. And then when you think about Brian Winhorse
saying calling them out after Game three, the organization, and
rightfully so, because I have said this in private and
I will say it in public, owners need to push
(06:11):
back on some level because the reciprocal relationship between the
fans and the players, the players aren't honoring their contract
as a whole, not playing enough games. They think they're
bigger than the game. They don't think that they need
the fans when you actually do. And this is the issue.
(06:34):
And for Luca, the organization is saying, you know what,
we do not want to We don't feel comfortable giving
you a five year, three hundred and forty five million
dollar contract, which is almost seventy million dollars a year
on average. We don't feel comfortable doing that because we
don't because once that ink drives on the paper, that's
(06:55):
fully guaranteed in the NBA for your superstar toplight type players,
even though the other players do have some non guaranteed
money and all of that. But for Luca, and at
that point in time, you have lost all control. Luca
can basically cuss everybody out at work. He can be like, listen,
I show up late for team meetings. Yes, you can
(07:16):
find me ten thousand dollars here and there. I'm gonna
do what I wanna do and mess up your culture.
So the Mavericks were like, all right, cool, let's get
out in front of this. So our ownership doesn't feel comfortable, like,
do you realize how damning that that is for a
franchise that you've been so good with with to the
finals with because he was god awful in the finals
(07:40):
on defense, on defense, got off and I'm a Luca fan,
but it was embarrassing to watch. And now the team
is saying, so, imagine what's been going on behind the
scenes in terms of his workouts, his staying in shape,
his cardio is eating because he's been in and out
the lineup with soft tissue ish injuries. And yes, he's
(08:03):
been really good, but if you do not take care
of your body, your body's gonna give out on you
at some point in time. That's what's going to happen.
And they're like, maybe we only got two three more
years of good workout of him, and then we go, oh,
him seventy million a fat guy, seventy seventy million dollars
a year.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, how about no? And this trade was.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So blockbustering, monumental because I was trying to equate it
and people have tried to equate it to other sports.
So here's the best that I could come up with.
I said in the NFL because Anthony Davis and people
act like he's a slouching this we're talking about one
of the seventy five greatest players of all time, a
perennial defensive first teamer, dude who can score. He's averaging
(08:50):
twenty six, twenty eight points a game right right now.
The dude's a ball so like, let's not act like
he's not a generational talent too, right, He's like WMB
one point oh essentially, and then Wimby that we see
now is Wimby two point zh Like that's what Anthony
Davis was is but just he just ain't as good
as Wimby or the potential is different. So an NFL
(09:15):
comp to this would be Joe Burrow. Who is is
he Patrick Mahomes?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But it's really damn good exactly. That's why the comp
works because Joe Burrow is super good, but team ain't
always having the type of success that you want to have.
But you look at him and you're like, dude's an
absolute baller and this probably ain't his fault. So it
would be like trading him for Defensive Player of the
Year TJ.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Whtt. That's because TJ. Wats a baller.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He's a Hall of Famer, generational player, all of those things,
but he just doesn't quite matter the same amount that
Joe Burrow does. I thought that was a good comp
Now in college football, and before you sit here in
a like, oh, George, you and Ralph are just on
here questioning whether arch Manning is it and tell me
arch Manning for Caleb Downs.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That's what this would be like. If you're Texas.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Do you think Caleb Downs is a ridiculously good player
and all American Thorpe Award finalists Thorpe Award, Yeah, all
sorts of awards, yes, But can he ever be as
valuable as a quarterback?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Nope? That's that.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And in baseball, it would be like trading Paul Skins
for Bobby Witt.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's what it would be like.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
And I was thinking about this as because I'm a
Lakers fan.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
How did I feel about this?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I was shocked, But at the same time, I'm like,
this is intriguing because Lebron's getting old. I think that
the man has two more that the twenty five to
twenty six season is likely his last season.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
That's the way I feel about it.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And we're going to be in a situation where as
a Lakers fan, you.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Need the future.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Luca's the future, but also pairing him with Lebron, you
hope you hope you hope that Lucas sees this as
a rebuke of him because he is highly competitive and
he's mad. Oh you want Luca hissed, because then he'll
be like, hey, Yobron, I'm coming to come work out
with you. I'm gonna show anybody that question this all right,
(11:29):
I'm on, y'all ass Now, everything that you said, okay, cool,
I'm gonna remember it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'm gonna write it down.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And you getting busted for this because we you know,
because great players holdless. But the people I feel worse
for are the MAVs fans.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
They're boycotting outside the stadium because they've been through this before,
just not like this, because Jason Kidd was All NBA
First Team five times after the MAVs shipped him out.
Not before like Luca though, because Steve Nash won two
MVPs after Dallas let him go to Phoenix, but again
(12:08):
that was after, and then you had the MAVs employees.
They're probably going through hell too. Imagine being like working
for the MAVs right now and you're, you know, a
twenty five year old, twenty seven year old and you
gotta cold call people. Hey, you ready to renew your
(12:28):
season tickets. You want to buy some season tickets today?
How do you think that's gonna go over. It's a
lot of people that gotta clear down some damn all
of the Luca billboards. I can't even imagine how many
Luca billboards that there are around American Airlines Arena, or
(12:49):
how they are around the city.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Bro, you gotta pull all of that down.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And nobody knew or did people really know, because I
do not believe under any shape, form or fashion that Luca,
Lebron and Anthony Davis had no clue about this, no clue.
I do believe that the MAVs probably were like, Luca, Bro,
this ain't gonna work. Listen, you gotta do something different,
(13:15):
or we gonna do something different. But at no point
in time did Luca believed that they would actually trade him.
I don't believe that he actually ever believed that, because
that's not what NBA teams do. So then I was like,
do I believe that Lebron knew? Because they said Lebron
was shocked at dinner, But then you had Chris Haynes
(13:36):
say that Lebron's agent Rich Paul that he had been
looked in about this a couple of days ago and
Lebron and Rich Paul is Anthony Davis's agent. So originally
I was like, brug, there's no way that Rich Paul
didn't bring this up to Lebron and Anthony Davis. But
(13:57):
then after further thought in detail on this, because Anthony
Davis had a trade kicker that means that if you
get traded that the team then has to pay you
a certain percentage.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
His was like six million dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
He waved his trade kicker six million dollars now to
that way, then the MAVs would be under the salary cap,
so then they have more financial flexibility and freedom to
add more players. So and this was said right after
the trade was announced. So I'm like, so if they
(14:32):
just if it just broke after the Lakers played the Knicks,
which Anthony Davis didn't play in the game. Yes, he
did have the oblique injury all that stuff, but still
so if that was the case, why would like, how
could he just have the wherewithal in the shockedness and
the hurt and the frustration and the everything be like, yeah, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Wave my trade kicker like that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Ain't just the conversation that you just pick up the
phone over six million dollars and be like, nah, nah,
it's cool. That's a all right, let me let me
think about this for a minute. That's the type of
conversation that that sort of conversation is.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It might be think about.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It for thirty minutes, forty minutes, an hour, two days,
one day. Whatever it is, there requires some thought to
give up six million dollars. And then the question is
did Lebron know? This is where I waffled about, But
where I landed is maybe Lebron did not know because
Rich Paul may have been briefed about this, like Chris
(15:35):
Haynes said, and then he told talk to Anthony Davis
about it, and Anthony Davis was like, hey, Rich, do
not tell Lebron. And because if Lebron knew, that could
get blown up. And You're like, how would Rich Paul
not tell Lebron? Because because Anthony Davis can be like, yo,
(15:56):
I know that Lebron is your boy, but you are
my agent. You have to do what's best for me
and Lebron. When he left Miami, d Wade didn't even
know When Lebron decides to move XYZ Lakers, whatever he
worried about. What nobody else is thinking. Lebron's gonna act
in Lebron's best interest. So Anthony Davis could have been
sitting there like, you know what, I'm gonna act in
(16:18):
my best interest right now.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
So that's what I believe.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
And I you know, the trade is big because usually
when Lebron James's name is attached to something, the Lebron
part sucks all the oxygen out of the room. But
Lebron is actually a footnote in this whole thing. And
are we sure at this point in time in their
(16:43):
career that Lebron is so much bigger of a figure
than Luca that he'll be the one that gets him
to change his conditioning and defensive effort. That's just a question.
You guys can hop into comments. Do you believe that
Lebron James knew? Do you believe that he's some sort
of way orchestrated and it's pretending he didn't know. Do
(17:07):
you believe Luca had any idea? I don't believe that. Well,
Luca just finished building a fifteen million dollar house and
people are like, well, there's no way, looking to you
just build a fifteen It don't take ten minutes to
build a fit or two weeks to build a fifteen
million dollar house.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
This takes years. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Now on to the next thing that caused the big
to do out in the world. That's the Grammys. So
there were two things that were notable. There was obviously
Beyonce getting the Country album the Album of the Year
for Cowboy Carter, and then there was Kendrick Lamar getting
(17:49):
five Grammys off a dish track.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
So we're gonna cover both.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
The first thing, though, there's a sentiment out in the
world right now that black folks are culture vulturing country
music right now, that they are cost playing country music,
and there's a pushback from the country community who was
(18:14):
upset that Beyonce got the Country Album of a Year.
There was an incident that happened at the Country Music
Awards where the guy who won New Artists of the
Year was like, and we didn't need no Shabuzi because
for some reason, they don't feel comfortable with black folks
in country music now. And this all started, like the
(18:38):
pushback against it, even though that there've always been black
people in country music.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
It started with.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Old Town Road and Lil nas X because they were like, listen,
I don't care who you got on this song. This
ain't a country song because you ain't a country artist. Now,
there was something said that I believe wholeheartedly, and that's
the idea. Did that genre that you're supposed to stick
(19:04):
in your genre? Oh, that's not the genre of music
that this this person makes post Malone makes makes pop music.
Now all of a sudden, he's a country artist. Like
they didn't bother bother that. But here's the thing. Genre
is a box that is used to stifle creativity because
they want you to stay where they're comfortable. And they're like,
(19:27):
this is not the Johnny Cash, this is not the
way Elvis did it. This is not the way Hank
Williams give us our country music back.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Black folks have been in country music longer than people
even fully understand. You gotta go back to the Charlie Patton,
uh Defork Bailey at a Baker, Charlie Pride Days, and.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Even the banjo.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
The banjo is literally derived from like from an African instrument,
and black folks have been in country music for so long.
But here is the thing country is just like hip hop.
And I've told people this for a very long time
(20:13):
who get mad about K pop, about white folks in
hip hop. Hip hop is no longer and it has
not for a very long time been a black folks music.
It is not about race. Hip Hop is the culture.
(20:34):
There are white folks who are part of part of
the culture. There are black folks, aging folks like it
is a culture. It is a lifestyle. Now it is
socially acceptable music in restaurants, in department stores and everything else.
Hip Hop is not just a genre, it is a culture.
(20:54):
It is a lifestyle. And that's the exact same thing
that country music is. So so No, white folks and
rap and rap and hip hop are not culture vultures
when they are a part of the community. And country folks,
you know what, Oh my god, I was born in Memphis, Tennis, Tennessee.
(21:16):
Do you know how many damn country folks I actually know?
You know how many people in the South, no black
folks who are country to their core? Do you know
there are black cowboys have been black cowboys. This is
the problem is that is that there is some sort
of way that that that folks in country music feel
(21:37):
like that their genre is being gentrified by the likes
of Shaboozie, Caine Brown, Alison Russell of Britney, Spencer Breeland,
Amethyst uh Kia.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
That's what they think.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
But there is there's obviously pop country, there's all sorts
of like but it is a lifestyle. But people think
that because Beyonce spent the majority of her music making
her time making pop music and hip hop music or
whatever genre that you want to put them in. That's
(22:16):
not the way it works. Because great musicians are supposed
to evolve. They are supposed to express their creative freedom
and try to spread their talent and gift to the world.
Think about this, and artists who a longstanding great artist,
(22:40):
the music from their first album should not sound.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Like the music from their eighth albums.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It should not the fifth album shouldn't sound the same
as the third, none of that, because they are supposed.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
To be stealing and.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Evolving from different art forms to make something new and
great for us. So the idea that that a an
artist expressing creative freedom in a different genre is some
kind of way, a theft or a or a rebuke
of what the actual culture is. It's not how it works.
(23:16):
It's an appreciation for it. And you got so many
black folks that are into country. I am into country music,
my kids are into country music.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
And I'm a hip hop guy.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I'm listening to everything from the artists I mentioned, to
Florida Georgia Line to to Marin Morris to everybody in between,
Luke Brian, Luke Colmbs of forty HP Johnson on a
flat bottom metal'm I'm gonna save you from that, but
(23:49):
it's in my court. I love it and it's okay.
So I know that that this feels like that, this
is like like like basketball, right, that all of a sudden,
it's gonna be black people infiltrating all of your country
music and you and you won't have what's near and
pure to your heart.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Do you know what? Just embrace it, man.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
It will cause some of your artists to venture into
other places. Limp Biscuit made a damn album with jay
Z like rock has done it, pop has done it,
and you have people that cross over all over the time,
and you gotta be okay with it, all right. The
other thing that happened at the Grabbys Kendrick Lamar opened
(24:33):
up his mouth and got five Grammys. According according to
Drake Now, his song not Like Us, which was a
dish track to Drake, it beat Old Town Road for
the most weeks at number one, and the album GNX
was his fifth album to debut number one, and it
beat out the Damn Wicked soundtrack do one Record of
(24:57):
the Year for not Like Us. And I was thinking
about this, how this related to Drake, Because when you
push back against the machine, the machine will push.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Back at you.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
And this is why Kendrick got some got not Like
Us where he is. I mean, think about it. You're
sitting there at the Grammys. Your peers, Drake's peers are
sitting there singing and it's probably a minor.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You got Taylor Swift dancing to it.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
You got Beyonce kid Uh Blue Blue Ivy singing it.
You got the crowds. Dude, it was the biggest song
in the world this year. And if you're Drake, when
you said Drake, watched Drake, oh, I mean watch Kendrick
open his mouth and here comes a Grammy.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
The Grammys didn't didn't like that. And if you're Drake,
it is time. If you want to continue your career,
you gotta let go of a tough talk. You gotta
let go of that and get back to making music
for the ladies. That's what you gotta get get back to.
Ain't no more. You know, we gonna we gonna do this,
(26:09):
and my dude's gonna do no. You gotta let it.
Let it go, Drake. Just focus on the future. Just
admit you lost focus on the future. Stop the lawsuits
and it's a bad look. I'm not saying that you
are one hundred percent wrong in some of the accusations
that you made, but they doing the same thing for
you too. You just lost on this one and that's
(26:31):
actually wrapped. You gotta take it on the chin the
same way that you gave it to mc mill, the
same way that you came and push your t bro
It come back to you. It's all right, It's all right.
We all take ls sometimes, all right. The last thing up,
speaking of trades, today, Miles Garrett Dude put out a
(26:56):
demand after making six Pro Bowls in eight years with
the Cleveland Brown's, The Dude has already registered one hundred
and two and a half sacks before the age of thirty.
Also managed to go twenty five games below five hundred
in the regular season and play in the browns Loan
playoff win in the last thirty five years. So Miles
(27:16):
Garrett in his statement, thank the city of Cleveland, think
the people there. I want to stay there, but I'm
here to win now. His statement said I didn't come
to go to from Cleveland to Canton, as in, go
to Cleveland and then be a Hall of Famer. He said,
I came here to win the Super Bowl. And Miles Garrett,
(27:38):
by him saying that statement, by him saying I didn't
come to go from Cleveland to Canton. I came here
to win super Bowls, That in of itself is superstar privilege.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
That's what it is. Superstar privilege.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Because Miles Garrett one hundred and two sacks, already has
a huge contract in line for another contract extension around
four years, one hundred and thirty five million dollars. He
has the privilege of not worrying about his legacy, not
worrying about contracts, not that. Listen, all I care about
is winning. Yes, you do, because the money part is
(28:15):
already taken care of. If Miles Garrett was making three
million dollars right right now, he wouldn't give a damn
who he went to. As long as the check was right,
he would want to win. Like, I'm not debating whether
he wants to win a super Bowl or not. I
definitely do believe that he does. But it's interesting that
(28:35):
when we hear people say that, and people will point
to him and see, like, that's a man who really
cares about winning.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yes, it is, but it also is.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
A man who's got his finances taken care of already,
who's one hundred million dollars up already. That's the difference
is that you can have the luxury of not caring
about Like Patrick Mahomes, I'm not worried about anything else.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
All I care about is winning. I bet you do.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
When you got four hundred million dollars on the books
and your stuff's guaranteed every other year, it's real easy
to not care about anything else but win it. So
that's the superstar privilege of it. And if you're the Browns,
do you acquiesce this man's trade?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I say yes, I say yes.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
The Cleveland Browns their defense was really good this year.
They got offensive problems holes in the roster. I equate
Miles Garret to if you went on the price is
right great game show, regardless of whether, no matter who
(29:46):
the host is. If you go on prices right and
you win a Bugatti, two million dollar Bugatti, but you
have a history, you can't make your rent, You're trying
to go back to school, you're trying to build a
new life for yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You're trying to start a business, all of these things.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But you don't have the money and you're broke, so
you can't pay for an all change, you can't pay
for a flat tire, none of that. What should you
do with that Bugatti? Do you park that Bugatti in
the driveway? Do you park it in the garage? Or
do you sell the damn Bugatti?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Simple?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Sell the Bugatti. That's what you do. Sell the Bugatti
and go draft that dual Carter or somebody. Sell the
Bugatti and drive and draft another guy that you got
to pay in four or five more years and get
plenty of draft picks back. How about this, You go
do what the Oklahoma City thunder have done and Sam
(30:50):
Presty where they got all of these damn draft picks,
but also the best team in the NBA. They didn't
used to people question when they sold Russell West, when
they sold Kevin Durant when they got rid of of
Paul George all of that stuff, because they were like,
we're gonna build this from the ground up. We're gonna
have multiple picks every single year, we can trade them
(31:11):
away for later picks and.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
All of that. That's what you do. If you're the
Cleveland Browns, start over.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Sell all your good things because him under this huge
contract don't help you at all on the losing season.
He's disgruntled. You're building with an old dude with a
young team. It ain't gonna work out well. Sell sell
the Bugatti and you will get a handsome return back
(31:37):
and then build your team back up. I'm just saying,
