Of course the Lakers throttled the Clippers last night 122 to 97 a couple from LeBron here here. He is first
00:08
Letting you know about when he heard the news that Luka was coming to the Lakers and ad was being sent
00:15
Out to Dallas. Here's LeBron. I was out
00:18
Miguel you guys seen report I was out with my family at dinner and got the news and first time I heard I thought it
00:24
was
00:24
For sure fake
00:26
But it was a hoax
00:28
People messing around whatever
00:31
But anyway, he called me 80 facetime him I talked to him for quite a while and
00:39
Even when I got off the phone with him it still didn't seem real and it still pretty much didn't see real didn't seem real until
00:46
Saw Luka today and then I saw the clip of 80 at the Dallas shoot around. That's when it finally hit me like
00:53
The one thing we've always said about you is I feel like you've seen and heard it all
01:02
But to this one I've never been a part of one
01:06
Transaction like that
01:10
Wow
01:11
You know, that's a different cut altogether. We've never seen him frankly caught off guard
01:18
with anything in the NBA and that deal
01:22
Transcended all others
01:24
It certainly did. Here's the other one
01:26
I have for you of LeBron, of course, a lot of people have said that this move is for the Lakers future
01:33
Not right now me and you me and you don't believe that but people like to say that
01:38
LeBron, of course does not believe that either that this move was made for the future
01:43
It's made for now and the future any concerns that
01:46
Because you've brought in a young star
01:49
That some of these priorities kind of might shift more towards the future rather than the present what's wrong with that
01:55
If I had concerns out of way my no-trade clause and got a body
02:00
And
02:02
You still feel like you you've said earlier this year, right you you still envision yourself finishing your career here
02:08
You know, I'm here right now
02:11
I'm here right now. I'm committed to the Lakers organization. I'm here to
02:15
Help
02:16
Luca and maxi make the transition as smooth as possible
02:20
Smooth been here before so he already know we about what a championship with him in 2020 sign word about him
02:25
but
02:26
As a leader of the team as one of the captains of the team is my job to make it as seamless as possible. So
02:34
Look I I really believe this Mike that this guy is
02:39
And I've heard all this I can take that he's gonna you know
02:42
Finish his career playing with Steph Curry. I'm not buying that for one minute
02:45
I really am not in fact yesterday you and I talked and you said that I think you said that in essence
02:52
you think that the
02:54
Possibility of KD going back there is a lot stronger than anything else and that may very well happen, but that might happen tonight or tomorrow
03:02
But let me ask you this. So so so but look my point is this I don't see him ever leaving the Lakers
03:09
Because I feel that he is
03:13
Frankly locked in there as it's the greatest franchise ever
03:18
Besides, you know Boston the two of them have bragging rights
03:22
with the number of banners and championships and the organization the ownership bus I
03:28
Think Polinka has got some Gucci with him
03:31
But not not not as much as I think he respects genie and I just think that he likes being a Laker
03:38
I think he likes
03:39
LA I think he likes
03:42
that his
03:43
company's they're making
03:45
Documentaries and shows and his son's playing there and his other son's gonna go to Arizona and his wife is happy and he's 40
03:53
What is the point Mike of moving again?
03:56
What's he gonna go chase another ring with Steph Curry? Like if it happens, so be it. I don't know anything
04:02
I mean, what am I?
04:04
I'm not voodoo over here, but I do think he's in my view a
04:09
Laker with Luka for the next couple of years and then he'll wrap it up. I don't think he's gonna play forever
04:16
Christ the guy's not gonna buy is he really what is he Gordie? How he's gonna play till he's 50. I don't see it
04:21
I don't think he changes the team ever. I think he stays a Laker
