00:56the only thing with last year we were talking about getting healthy and then you did your thing

01:01that was next week and then all hell broke loose last year it was mostly about what is the jimmy

01:06thing gonna unfold how is that gonna go we realized we you know the that was the feat now

01:11clear skies and open waters dude we have we we don't have that drama to really deal with this year

01:17all right you know i'm i'm we got other dramas as in the team not being good enough

01:22i mean this what is supposed to say all year what it was the the the word that he hammered us

01:29over the head with clarity we know they're not good enough isn't it there's clarity that's clarity

01:35is that not clarity that that that's that's your twist on it i don't think it's a twist you would

01:44you have managed to go

01:49very positive

01:51with a situation

01:54that at the moment

01:57is not

01:59when you say oh they lost about 55 points in last game of the season

02:04but there's clarity

02:05oh there was clarity

02:07yeah

02:08it was one of the worst trust me i was clear that was one of the worst ass kickings i've ever seen

02:12in my life

02:13right

02:13i don't know why

02:15you ever notice and i'm gonna ask fans this that are fans of other teams

02:20when you're a fan of a team does it always seem like the team you play is playing the best

02:26they've ever played

02:27or shoot the best they ever shot

02:29because i gotta tell you this series

02:33watching how many threes were made

02:36it was like holy smokes

02:39and then of course uh we have robbie who always hits us with the the brin forbes mentions from the

02:45uh sweep a couple years ago to the bucks

02:47ah brin forbes

02:50anyway

02:50this could be something

02:52could be nothing

02:54but

02:56we're not the only ones going to cancun

02:59the lakers

03:28jj reddick who

03:32i mean just cannot handle his emotions

03:35he's easy

03:36he's a

03:36he's a lunatic

03:37he

03:39seemed like

03:41you do this what you will

03:43that he was taking

03:45pot shots

03:47at a

03:47certain slovenian wing

03:50with a pot belly

03:50this is what he had to say yesterday

03:54about the lakers

03:55it's required

03:56uh in an off season

03:58to be in

04:00championship shape

04:01and

04:03you know

04:03we we have a ways to go

04:05as a roster

04:06and certainly there are individuals

04:07that

04:08um

04:09were in phenomenal shape

04:10there's certainly other ones

04:12that could have been in better shape

04:13um

04:14that's where my mind goes

04:16immediately is

04:17is you know

04:17we we have to get

04:19um

04:20in championship shape

04:22wow

04:25well now

04:26can i just say

04:26can i just

04:27can i just say this

04:28some of us

04:30can i just say

04:31can i just say this

04:32what's that

04:33are we not

04:37based on what just happened

04:40and what nico said

04:43taking some liberties

04:45as to who he's talking about

04:46i don't know

04:47because here's what i would say

04:49here's here's what i would say

04:51seem pretty obvious

04:52to

04:53people

04:54talking about luca

04:57while we sit here and talk about his shape

05:02you ever thought that maybe he's just not that

05:06fast laterally

05:08what part of that plays a role in it

05:11and then we sit there and put it on

05:13how he looks

05:14or his size

05:15or whatever

05:16and and and put it on that

05:19making the assumption

05:20that

05:22oh

05:22if he looks like he's in better shape

05:25he gonna have better

05:26better lateral movement

05:27which is not the case

05:29i gotta tell you luca

05:30you know

05:31you do what you want

05:33it's your career

05:34then they offer you that fat extension in the offseason

05:37you do you baby

05:38but

05:39i gotta tell you

05:41you already can see the bus backing up over you

05:44with old lash potatoes over here jj reddick

05:47and by the way

05:48can i just tell you something luca

05:50goron dragic as vice president of european affairs

06:20this man

06:22has been

06:23taking

06:25pat riley's gimmick

07:38brate

07:39tu brate

07:41explain to him

07:43what it means

07:44hey

07:44i don't need you to be

07:46bodied by jake

07:47but we need to get you through some things

07:48now listen

07:49this guy stinks at defense too

07:52and he does a lot of whining at the officials

07:55we gotta control some of that

07:57but i don't think they're gonna

07:59they're not gonna do it in

08:00la

08:01la is full of coddlers

08:03coddlers and bums

08:05he's not gonna get any better there

08:07and they're gonna turn his

08:08his legacy

08:09into something

08:10that's gonna go from one of a generational player

08:13to george niang

08:14that's how they're treating him

08:17already

08:17okay

08:18okay

08:19now

08:19it's not the environment for him

08:22if

08:23if getting in shape

08:25is

08:28what everybody says is a problem for luca

08:32how is that gonna work out in miami

08:35oh

08:36it's gonna work out great

08:36because here's the thing

08:37this is where jay

08:38you're asking

08:38you're

08:39you're

08:40you're

08:40and

08:41you're

08:44saying

08:45if i'm

08:47correct me if i'm wrong

08:48you're saying

08:50there was questions about him being in shape

08:54in

08:56dallas

08:57now there's questions in

09:00la

09:02but if he were coming to miami

09:06we gonna fix him

09:07well first of all i want a couple things here

09:09one

09:10i think it's a wildly overrated thing that they're whining about

09:14okay

09:14i'm being in shape

09:15i do

09:16one

09:17says

09:17let's

09:18let's

09:20one

09:21nico harrison

09:23is an idiot

09:24and i'm not gonna let any first round exit

09:27fix that or take that away

09:28two

09:29the only type of shape they should have worried about

09:32was the shape that goes vertical

09:34because they went and tried to beat a team

09:37with a bunch of

09:38six eight people

09:40and jj reddick was too stubborn to play anybody

09:43who has to duck to get through a doorway

09:45but of course you'll never hear that from jj reddick

09:48because he's allergic to

09:49being accountable

09:50but then there was another thing leroy

09:53okay

09:54goron dragic

09:57seemed to send some kind of a message

10:00boink

10:01on social media

10:05and by the way i just want to be clear here

10:07i don't know if you don't follow the social media like i do

10:11but boots on the gram

10:12i've seen luka donchic

10:15run the slovenian steps

10:17with with zoron dragic

10:19okay

10:19so luka will listen to the dragic family

10:23okay

10:23they're very close

10:24very close

10:25very close

10:26very close

10:28you are such

10:30i'm not lying

10:31but

10:32there's certain things

10:39and certain aspects

10:41of a player

10:43they just are what they are

10:45okay

10:46he's 25

10:47you always say

10:48people don't hit their prime till 27

10:49now you're going against your own

10:51your own way

10:51no i'm not

10:52how am i going against it

10:54sounds like it

10:55you're saying he can't change

10:56i tell you he's not going to change with

10:59that's not just

11:00a podcast dude

11:01that's not just a change

11:04like

11:04so you're

11:05but but here's the part

11:07that i'm

11:08that i'm

11:10like

11:11questioning

11:13you think

11:15just because he's

11:16comes to miami

11:17he's going to change

11:18he's going to be with his people

11:22he's going to be with his people

11:27in la

11:28they call

11:29benjamins

11:30grants

11:30we'll see

11:31we'll see

11:32but goron

11:33puts on

11:34social media

11:36you do realize

11:37you sound ridiculous

11:38right

11:38do i

11:39and i'm not saying

11:41that that luka

11:42can't

11:44get in shape

11:45and won't get in shape

11:46i'm more than sure

11:46that when you're a competitor

11:48you get tired of things happening

11:50in a certain way

11:50and you do so

11:52you do things to improve

11:53so it doesn't happen

11:55here's what i would say

11:56that being said

11:57it doesn't matter where he plays

12:00it's a commitment

12:01luka has to make

12:02there ain't no team

12:04or no mentor

12:05or anybody

12:07that's going to convince him

12:08to do it

12:09other than luka

12:10well here's the thing though

12:11if you're

12:12starting off

12:13and they're already

12:14throwing the blame on you

12:15even though their roster

12:16was built poorly

12:17and you have this

12:19coach

12:21if you want to call him that

12:23already looking for the first exit

12:25to blame somebody else

12:27i don't know leroy

12:30to me

12:30if i was luka

12:31i didn't choose to be a laker

12:33i was hurt

12:34sent to the lakers

12:36banished to the lakers

12:37you think he's going to sign that extension

12:40i don't know

12:42i don't know

12:44can i can i just ask a

12:46simple question

12:47why

12:51do you think

12:55somebody just going to turn down

12:58300 400 million

13:01he's not going to make 400 million

13:03that was only with dallas

13:04that was a big

13:06so he's already

13:07so he

13:07oh yeah

13:08because he lost one year

13:09no he lost years

13:11and percentages

13:12because he's not drafted by them

13:44and he's giving his list of favorite cities
