Speaker 1 (00:03):
I'm your host still and every right alongside with The
Times Sujic and Shane Carter and our special guests Trudy
Stone from Trending.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
With Trudy.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Speaking of trending, we talked about it before the break,
Let's see Kevin Durant trending in San Antonio.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Tye, am I wrong?

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I think there's a hot possibility. From my conversation with
you guys all in February, I'm actually a little less
in on Durant landing in San Antonio than I was previously.
Why I because that was your idea, it was my
idea put that out there in the universe. I want,

(00:40):
I think Durant is the right fit for San Antonio,
but I think where there's smoke, there's fire, and I
think there's other teams that have better packages for Durant
that could truly.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Get in the way.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Houston, for one, Houston has has a better bench, has been.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
And they're more on the process of playoffs.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, yeah, more in the playoff process, right, So ultimately
Durant does get to decide, you know, with what that
destination will look like. Houston's a major problem in that.
Dallas now they have a lot, of course, correcting Duvee.
Nico wants to retain his job. He can go all
in and and and add Kevin Durant and start to
sell tickets again. They're in trouble. That's such a ticket

(01:21):
Now they're gonna get in the plane, aren't they. Yeah,
they're not playing. So so that's thing Nico is gonna say.
I'm still we're still a playoff team.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
And that's why he's walking around with the smile. He
walks around.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Exactly, We're gonna get Kyrie Irving back and then I'm
gonna bringing Kevin Durant to round that out.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
What is it about Dallas teams that just make barely
making the playoffs? Is okay? True? And I'm a Cowboys fan,
so that hurst to say.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
I have to say, as a former Dallas Maverick Stancer,
hurts my heart. Hurts my heart what they're going through
right now think of that trade. I was shocked, like
the whole world wise. I'm still in shock with the
tribute that they did for him.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I can't after that, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, forty five after being emotional and.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, but I mean, I don't know, I just I
feel bad for the maths.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
I feel bad for you know, do you feel bad
for the fans?

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Totally?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
We don't, don't. I know, I know, I get it.
Spurts fans are like.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
I'm a sports fan. I feel very bad for him.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, there was when it first happened. I remember because
that was like the first week of our show. Can
remember that? Yeah, it was that was our that was
our topic. We didn't know what happened on a Saturday night. Yeah, oh,
it happened at midnight. I had a couple beers in
me and you text me this and I'm like what wait,
no way, and there we are. I'm like, are you

(02:41):
kidding me?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Don't you drink?

Speaker 6 (02:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
You never mentioned that I have two teenage daughters. Sir,
How am I not going to drink? Telling you you're.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
A wine guy? That's right, you're a wine guy.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, no, I'm trying to be I am. I'm a
wine girl, but it gives me heartburn.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
That's a good question in college wine? Oh wow, you're
just drinking the wrong kind.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Probably, yeah, don't get the stuff from the convenience store.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Probably not. That's probably not a good idea. I'll give
you a list of SOMEO I need some. Yeah, because
that's I'm trying to get into it. Red or white.
I think red.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
I think you should do white better because wine's easier.
It doesn't give you as much heartburn. Really, yes, okay,
also tastes better. Red's way too harsh, thank you?

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (03:24):
And and you know white nice cold, nice and crisp Okay,
very refreshing.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
See where we went here?

Speaker 5 (03:30):
I know this instead of doing the Spurs show, which
it's wine, we tru on the show at something you know.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
But I think that Kevin durant ty and this is
where I kind of I'm gonna kind of call you
out here. Why are you backing away from it? I'm
not why are you backing away from it? Because you're
hearing that Houston and Dallas might have better offers. But
you get to play with Wimby, you get to play
with Steph Castle, you get to play with dearon Fox.
I think the Spurs with the Spurs that we're seeing
now is not presenting what they really are. Let's keep

(04:01):
the Aaron Fox, Let's keep Victor and the Spurs are
in the playoffs and you have a Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
You can't change my mind on that.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, I mean, that's attractive for the Spurs, but you
got to look at it from also the Phoenix Sun's perspective.
They're younger and no, but it takes two to tango,
and you look at from Phoenix Sun's perspective, what am
I getting in return for Kevin Durant? Right, but has
no idea but to blow up that roster. Yeah, he's thing.
You have to blow up that the roster. They're even
flowing out Devin Booker. Now, if Devin Booker gets traded

(04:30):
before Kevin Durant, that roster looks completely different, and that
completely shifts the idea and the whole you know, I'm
sure you can google all the trade proposal ideas and
things that nature. If Bradley Beal or Devin Booker gets
traded before Kevin Durant, that changes things.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
That's ironic.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
You said that because during the during the break, we're
going to the segment, my brother, who listens to the
show religiously, thank you Andrew, by the way.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Shout out Andrew, he said, Shame's brother.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
He said that Devin Booker would actually be a better
fit in San Antonio than KD. Now that's interesting, but
also it also a factor and like who they would lose.
And that goes back to the last time we talked
about who the would keep who they were.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, according to you, we're not losing anybody's shame.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well I didn't know's. I also met trades and stuff like.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
That's about initial reaction because because who we.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Draft wallso also keep everybody and bring Booker in.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Uh see, I the here's my issue with Booker, Booker
diva diva. He needs the ball, he needs the ball.
It's ile ball him and Beale. That's the issue. That's
why I did not work in Phoenix. They're both ile
ball guys. They need to dribble and pound the rocks
for a while. They can shoot very well, don't get
me wrong, but they need to dribble for ten seconds

(05:36):
of the shot clock before deciding what they're gonna do.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
I like your idea of Katie and Houston actually just
because like that's no Listen.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Here's why I know.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
I know you don't want that, but listen because the
way that roster's constructed, it kind of reminds me where the
Spurs are now, where the Rockets used to be, and
where they have now.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
With Jayalen Green out Prince Shangoon. I'm R Thompson.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
If you add Katie to that, it gives you a
dimension from the three that they don't really have consistently
now right now, right now, and again it makes them
honestly a viable contenter in the West.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Look, if I'm Kevin Durant, I'm thirty seven years old. Yes, okay,
yes I have championships. Yes, yes, yes, then I deserve it?
What wow?

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay? Not wrong.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
You can find Shane on Twitter at Shane carter T.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
My phone number is, I'm on Google link.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Where where's the pressure for Kevin?

Speaker 6 (06:33):
Right?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
There's no pressure to go like for Houston? Right, Why
do I want to go to Houston?

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Who?

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Obviously those Rockets fans listening to us, you kind of
make fun of Dallas cowboy fans. But the last time
that you guys won a championship, well you know, come on,
let's go ninety four, ninety five was the last time
that they were there, right, Houston? Look, I love Houston,
No I don't. Here's the problem. Their attitude. Okay, their

(07:00):
attitude kills them.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
What about it?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
It's terrible, It's gonna get out. No, it doesn't. It
does not help you in games.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Dylan Brooks's attitude take it back to Canada.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Dude, Dylan Brooks is a would be a part of
that trade. That's at the attitude.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Okay, their head coach is he gonna be part of
the trade because he's also the.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Attitude, has attitude?

Speaker 4 (07:27):
But can you tell me.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
For having a bit of a chip on his shoulder? Okay,
let go of Boston. Let it go think coaching Houston.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Now, let it go.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I think he was done wrong in Boston, So what
so you go on. It's a business when you when
you're when you're done wrong, you're not gonna carry chip.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
You're gonna act it out and you're gonna cost the
team playoffs. You're gonna cost them games. You're gonna cost
they're in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
How do you cost But I'm saying costing a championship?
You think Houston right now could win the champion.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Houston was a championship team and when the season started
they were a championship caliber team. They have been for
the past two seasons now. They have built faster than
the Spurs have since Wimby. Because remember I'm mad about
Wimby right because we were on the same playing field.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yes we are.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Look who's in the playoffs. Look who's in the two seeds.
So they're doing it right. So to tell me that,
did I think that they can be a championship team?

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Sure?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
But what's going to hold him back? As their attitude?
I think they're a contender. I never thought they were
a championship team. I think there's two And you don't
have brought on that stuff himself too different Auston, But
I'm just saying what he did. I didn't say. He's right,
But that's not an offense worthy of being fired because
I'm sure if you if we're really looking, there's probably

(08:36):
a lot of NFL, I mean, not in an NFL,
NBA exacs and owners that are in that same boat
that just didn't get caught.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
Can we talk about how like if if Houston hadn't
taken Reached Shepherd, I mean, if they if they hadn't
taken stefanc Castle, we end up with Reach Sheppard and
vice versa. That's well Reached Shepherd. Is it like I
was like four or five points a game or something
like that. We got we got the second straight rookie
of the US to US.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Oh, he said to us. I thought you're a cash fan,
Now you're a sportsman all of a sudden. No, he's
coming around.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I know.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
I'm just.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
I'm just participating in the lore.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Are you a Boston fan because you are wearing green?
Are you wearing green for the Master?

Speaker 6 (09:14):
The Master?

Speaker 5 (09:14):
I don't want to ask you something. So with Wimby,
you know he's coming back. I mean, is this like
a like a new who do you see being the
next Big three? Like like I mean with him being
on there?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Ah, you had Durant that instantly becomes the next big three.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
True, but if you don't add Durant right right, it's
Daron Fox, yes, Castle, yes, Wimby yes, Okay.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Area fifty one.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
Also factor in this. What if, hypothetically, what if they
landed the number one pick? What if they got Google back?
We're not we have a six percent chance.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Where's Cooper fly going? Brooklyn, Washington, Brooklyn Oz.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
And don't matter where he's going Brooklyn. I think it's Brooklyn.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I mean, could his stock go away after the final four?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
No?

Speaker 3 (10:03):
No, no, yeah that I wouldn't say. It's not it
went on him. He could have played harder. I talked
about that too. During the game. Uh, he has a
bit of a Lebron effect to himself where he tends
to fall off and then slowly ramp up as things
start to get out of hand, which I've seen Lebron
do time and time again throughout his career.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
And he was combing his hair the other day to
see that Lebron Yeah, yeah, yeah during the game. No afterwards,
what was he He was brushing the grass piece, so
but yeah, brushes together pretty much.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
But yeah, there there's no changing Cooper flag status depending
on you know, based on high performed the finals.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
The future is what he holds.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
I think the league has a history of ensuring certain
teams get the number one pick, just like you know.
I don't think there's a mistake that Wenb's here in
San Antonio. There was not a mistake that the Lebron
starting Cleveland, and I think Glynn being a premier location
and not have anybody.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
I felt bad for time because he's over addressed up
like Phil Mickelson.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
And we have. We've been talking about it.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
We're gonna get to it. We're gonna get to it.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
We'll get there.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I will say this though, if oh, by the way, Shane.
They're showing me UFL right now. Why I saw I
brought it over the end today? It was I brought
it up one time. What was that triny polygar break?
I have to bring this up, I'll have said.

Speaker 6 (11:26):
Because Dona's talked about me a support local, I said, okay,
I support them.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
I can't support Antonio Brahmas.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
He doesn't support it because because it's it's it's basically
the g League of football.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
The thing is that they're missing is it's quality. A
quarterback play, which in the second hour we'll get to
because I've an idea.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Okay, we'll get to.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
We'll talk about something else.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Now coming up, we're gonna talk a little masters. That's
next on the Fanatics on Ticket seven sixteen
