(00:23):
And so to get you ready, we're doing the show
from there on Friday from three to six. The sumo
wrestlers will be in the house. There's going to be
a sumo truck poll immediately following the show, and then
the draft and then all day Saturday is the event
and it's there's nothing like it. If you've never seen
actual sumo wrestling. It's not dudes and blow up suits,

(00:43):
it's not what this is. People have come to this
from Australia and Japan to be a part of this tournament.
It is legit sumo wrestling and it's amazing and it's free.
Like you in this day and age where you're just
looking for cool, fun family entertainment. This is absolutely free.
All I gotta do is head on out to Salon

(01:05):
And then we'd love it if you came both days
and joined us for the show on Friday three to six.
Bend and skin in Solina at Rollertown Beer Works doing
the show Friday. But right now it's time for this.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
It might be a drink for this one. Guys.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Huh, hello, what is that from?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:30):
That's when Will Smith comes up on stage right.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Whoa, Yeah, there's Will Smith coming to slap you. Hello, guys.
The Athletic does this thing. They do it all the time.
It's an anonymous player poll and NBA players fill out
of you know, questionnaire And there's a whole article aside
from the Athletic NBA player's poll that is about just

(01:53):
the Luca trade.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
So again I miss this.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I miss this too. The most famous NBA player pole
is Jared Smith. I should say that one of the biggest,
but he calls it a pipe. Yep, I would Chamberlain's
as a poll. We think we never saw footage though.
That's the problem with will I saw footage I tweeted
this morning and you can follow me and almost.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
If you want to not vomit today, then you know,
don't read the Athletic Player Poll.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, aren't they going to vomit while you do this segment?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's gonna be tough here, guys? Oh no, when does
it starts? Ready? Yep?

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I'm gonna start reading off a couple of them. They
do they have players who actually supported it. They get
to that, Oh, here we go. One player said, I
don't know if two K would have allowed that trade?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Did you give us a percent?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Like?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Is these are just quotes?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
These are quotes.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, it's a whole thing because players wrote long responses
to this.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, so there's no person, there's no question that they answered.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
They just how you feel about the trade? Okay? What
were you thinking at the trade? Like there's a few
things regarding trade, So.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's not like at the normal poll where you have
answers to a question shows a price.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's different.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
You'll understand, gotcha. I don't even know if two K
would have allowed that trade. Another guy shocked, I was
on the court. A fan told me at half court,
it's one of those moments you won't forget, like when
Michael Jackson died or nine to eleven happened. Those moments
you know is gonna be forever ingrained. Which, yeah, I'll
remember where we were. I was watching Academy Award winning

(03:25):
movie Anora.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
I was watching an entire TV series on Sundance and
my phone was blowing up. I was playing Fortnite with
MAVs Jim.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Oh, MAVs Jim probably didn't take it. Well. I bet
he did not.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
When the player said, I told my girl turn on
ESPN and I was locked in the rest of the night.
That was like twelve, It was like midnight. I didn't
go to sleep till two thirty am. I was like,
what the hell. I DM Shams and asked him Champs
and asked him, did you get hacked? One player said.
I woke up it was three or four in the morning.
I was like, is this real? That's insane. One player said,

(03:59):
I thought the NBA was doing it for viewership. That's
a popular take.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Weirdly, okay, but but that's that's that's the biggest problem
the NBA has is its own players think that there's
a concer.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, that's that's probably a problem there.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's a problem. It is crazy that a player in
the league who really knows how things work can't fathom
how anyone really thought this was a fair trade and
would do it just based on the principle of the
values in bold.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
You're going to see some players who were kind of
offended that this trade happened. This player says, when I'm
not with my team, I'm a Mavericks fan. I didn't
know how to process it. That's crazy my team, I'm
a mass fan.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
That's clearly Kate Cunningham.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
I think it was a ballsy decision. He wrote, It's
like a once in a blue moon type of thing.
I don't think something like that's ever going to happen again.
It's got star players on edge, which probably not No.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Anthony Edwards said that right after the trade on camp
to me too. Yeah, yeah, it's like, if you're trading
that guy, any of us can get traded.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Right.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Here's some fast one liners. Probably the worst decision in
modern basketball history. Terrible, psychotic, It didn't make sense. I
don't know how you make it make sense. Blasphemy, bad trade,
keep him, generational player, dumbest idea ever, the worst ever,
not smart, one of the worst basketball decisions I've ever seen.
I don't like it. I thought it was a bad trade.
I think it was the craziest trade in basketball history.

(05:23):
I did not think that was a very smart decision,
very shocking. I thought it was crazy. I thought it
was dumb. I wouldn't have done it. Shocking, surprising, Still
didn't understand it, Still shocked. Bad for MAVs business, bad work.
Good for the Lakers, though, stupid. If Luca can get traded,
everyone can get traded, so it's kind of messed up
the way the NBA runs their league. I don't think
they should have traded him. And this is just the

(05:44):
short term right now. We'll see five years from now.
But bro, you can't do that. No way, nobody's safe.
It was ridiculous and eye opening and scary to the
business side of the NBA. Dallas decision, stupid, Laker's decision. Great,
This is just quick ones for a bunch of players. Yeah,
not a single one thinks it's a good idea. Okay,
now here's some people who were like.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
What about the return? Like what about what you got back?
These are more longer answer it's kind of good.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Well, the player said, I was in disbelief because you're
trading a guy like Luca and you get the entire
kitchen sink back. I mean, obviously with Anthony Davis, let's
not act like he's not a top seventy five player,
but you would imagine there will be several first round
picks attached to that, and there wasn't. So something's going
on there, right, I do think something's going on there
now now that I read this.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
There's nothing going on. It's just that I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
No, no, it's I don't even be around anymore.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
It's not good, terrible. I think Dallas went with the
five year window instead of the ten year window. Man,
I think five is.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Five or like the two.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's very nice. Uh, I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I think he's the best player in the league for
the next fifteen years. Maybe there was something behind the
scenes we don't know about, but I didn't understand it.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
That was by the way, a lot of the and
and you know, when this is the way the pundits work,
when they see the way the wind is blown, like
the way Stephen A. Smith is acting now is not
the way he was acting. In the first thirty six
hours of the trade, he was saying things like, you know,
Nico is used to Kobe and Luca is no. You know,
he was doing a lot of that trash and now

(07:21):
that he sees the way the world is saying, he's like,
I can't believe that, you know, everyone's full of it,
and you know, like this is anonymous, Yeah, you don't know.
But what I was going to say was that that
whole idea of the length of the window and all
that kind of stuff, that was a lot of the
guys that were like the older heads and the Steven A.
Smith and those types, they were kind of leaning in

(07:43):
on that where it's like, yeah, you don't have a
long window with Luca because he's not going to be healthy,
and then they all change their tune seventy two.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
I Meanwhile, SNL's making jokes like he's gonna be dead
in April.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's also it's it's also it will never be fair
in terms of measuring the trajectories, because Luca will never
be in better shape than he is now that he's
gone through this and more pissed with him.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Chip on her shoulder.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
No, I mean that the trajectory of New Luca is
not the same as I think that's fair. You know,
you're it's the alternate universe. But look at Steve Nash.
You know, the Mavericks doubted him, sure, and so he
turned himself into a two time MVP, like he came
back with a vengeance.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Here's another one. I really liked this one. Terrible decision.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
If he came in weighing five hundred pounds, so what
he's still averaging damn near a thirty point triple double.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I've seen a lot of that. Yeah, so it's dude,
he's out of shape. He's given you a thirty point
triple double.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Cares right, it's I never liked when people around town
would bitch about that. I was like, just you know,
we're just kind of it's fine, Yeah, it's fine, Okay.
They didn't get a less injury prone player in Davis.
I think it's bad because you didn't get someone who's
going to be more active than what you had.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
They got an older, more injury prone player.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Now this player did not hold back.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Whoever it was, I think that s was idiotic, but
I don't think it was at trade. I just think
that the way they did it, and everything about it
was idiotic. I think them shopping to face the franchise
for a lot of players who already feel like that
it's a business, like quote the mother effers don't care
about you. I think it sets an example, like, all right,
why should I give f about this team if this

(09:17):
is how they're gonna treat me. I came in here
and I was all NBA like five times and an
MVP candidate, and don't even get told about none of this.
I'm like, this organization doesn't give it f about me?
Why I I give it f about any organization? Verbatim
read that.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I mean, I've always thought that for sure, that's how
football players should think. And I don't have a problem
with NBA players thinking that way. It sucks because, like
with Dirk, we saw it another way. It was loyal.
It was like a family owned business, like we're right
or die together. Yeah, this is very corporate cutthroat. You're
looking at spreadsheets, you know. The irony of this is

(09:54):
probably one of the only two or three teams left
that's a family business as the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, yeah, well I told you it wasn't gonna make
you feel much better.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Dude, It's pretty much how I felt since it happened. Yeah,
you got any other Is there any one, any last
one that you got to get in? Well?

Speaker 3 (10:08):
This one says everyone talks about his defense all that,
But I don't think you trade a generational mother f
for like that. I feel like Jason Kid's a smart coach.
He could have found ways to hide him on defense
or make him a helper. I feel like they could
have went into the summer and had a grown man conversation.
So you make Luca the one who ultimately makes decision
for the front office if he don't want to play defense,
all right, now it's time to trade him. We already

(10:28):
talked about it, so he could basically saying you should
talk to him instead of doing it behind his back
like that.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
But they had the reasons, did they. We don't know, Yeah,
we don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
All right, good stuff there, Kat, All right, So here's
the deal. Tomorrow is the NFL Draft. We'll be talking
lots of cowboys tomorrow and then on Friday we'll be
out at roller Town Beer Works. Thank you for everyone
riding with us today. Coming up next more music right
