... is being the best in the league
HongHOST
Ooh.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
But there's also Luka, but Luka and, and LeBron already played together, and w- mm, shit, it ain't really work.
HongHOST
Are you ready?
HongHOST
You ta- guards, 'cause you'd have Kobe, right? Or you're just talking about point guards?
Deron WilliamsGUEST
But even, like, the second ye- my second year in the league, um, AI got hurt, another point guard got hurt, and I thought I was gonna make it, and then they took, they took Booze and Memo off my team, which can't be mad at that.

My daddy made a statement to me yesterday, 'cause we was talking about the contract stuff with Durant, and we was talking about how he said Scottie Pippen struggled in the playoffs the first f- three, four years he got in the league.
HongHOST

They was okay with George
Deron WilliamsGUEST
... people always make this, this argument- Nah, Wemby was from Greece ... that like old players, old heads want, you know, say that the N- NBA's soft, but then they bring up shit like thi- like, that has no- Like, you already played the game.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
You had time to be tough and all that during the game, but after the game, we're just saying go shake their hand.

Appreciate it.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
Hey, everybody in the chat, you do not wanna miss tonight, the watch party.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
We will be starting IRL before at 4:00, maybe a little bit later now that we running a little longer, Paul.
speaker_10UNKNOWN
Oh.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
So it, it was, uh, I mean, that's what, that's what we said was gonna happen the whole series.

speaker_8UNKNOWN
He said, "I, I hear Wemby."
Deron WilliamsGUEST
And then I just, I just watched these dudes going in for layups, blowing by people, thinking they ... and they just, just keep dribbling them back out.
Theo PinsonHOST
But what, what, what about this was Kenny's fault, truthfully? The Knicks was just playing better basketball.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
The, it wasn't, and, and Cleveland just went two seven-game series that could, they coulda lost.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
I feel like, Theo, like you said, like they, they just, they could never get past it, losing that game.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
I gotta get my GM that I want, and I got me and that GM have to be set on who's coaching the team because our jobs hang in the balance of whatever that coach does.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
We don't know the new ownership, how they feel about everything that's been going on.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
But if I'm the president, I want control of everything 'cause my job hangs in the balance.
1 HR 32 MINS LATER
Deron WilliamsGUEST
But you still have to play through Kat, let Kat be more of a playmaker, because you need that type of dog and that type of scoring from Jalen Brunson.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
He can't be the guy that's bringing the ball up and nobody never touches the ball.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
That's why you get the McHale, the OGs, the McBride, those guys hitting shots.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
... at him like, Kat ain't even trying to go be aggressive and go get 20-something.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
I, I'm, I'm telling you I'm picking Wemby, and I'm also gonna say, like, just how we talk about, like, small guards not having the same impact as, like, a, a 6'5" or 6'6" guard, it's the same thing with...
Deron WilliamsGUEST
When you're 7'4" and you can do everything that somebody 6'7" can do as well as somebody that's 7'4", you're gonna have a bigger impact on the game.
36 MINS LATER
Deron WilliamsGUEST
It's not gonna, it's not gonna be on, on the initial action, and that's what they gonna have to realize.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
I know y'all could've used me, e- especially if we knew Theo was gonna stink it up like that.
30 MINS LATER
Deron WilliamsGUEST
How does that, that moodiness, like, impact you guys, and how easy will that be to kinda get rid of?
speaker_0ADVERTISER
How does that, that moodiness, like, impact you guys, and how easy will that be to kinda get rid of?
Deron WilliamsGUEST
Yeah, I would say just, um, like, for how I use example, like, if it's not your night, you know, just be happy for the next person that's having a g- game or whoever's, uh, stepping up that night.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
I feel like that's the first part, and then just really just-... being together.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
Like, I know we all cool, we're all friends and stuff, so it shouldn't really matter, like, who's having a good game.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
I, I feel like their, their offensive woes showed really true this, th- the last game.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
[upbeat music]
Deron WilliamsGUEST
Yo, by the way, did you guys see the, the Baja boys said for every three I'll make they'll put in 50 or 100 bucks?
Deron WilliamsGUEST
Because if you're swapping JB and Giannis, whose salary is already identical, you're not getting many picks with that one.
Deron WilliamsGUEST
Maybe you go get somebody else that's still a solid veteran player, but you're gonna get more, I don't know.
