00:00The second and third picks were also teams that moved up.

00:04San Antonio moved up all the way to two.

00:07And the Sixers moved up all the way to three.

00:10So the three teams that had the worst records in the NBA this year,

00:13Charlotte, Utah, and Washington, they're picking four, five, and six.

00:18So that's just how it goes, I guess, sometimes.

00:22Right, Scotty?

00:22I've seen all these people today.

00:24Get rid of the lottery.

00:26Poor Charlotte.

00:27Poor Washington.

00:28Poor Utah.

00:30They sucked.

00:30And they're not even getting a top three player.

00:33They're not getting it, you know.

00:35What's the point of that?

00:36Like, I don't understand.

00:37It's the way it goes.

00:38So all these years, all these years, we've seen this lottery.

00:42And it is what it is.

00:44And now because Dallas gets Cooper flag and these other teams don't get him,

00:49let's change the system.

00:51That is just bunk.

00:53That is bunk thinking.

00:55That's just not reality.

00:58There's nothing wrong with this.

01:00How can you say there's something wrong with it when a team with 1% chance just won the number one pick?

01:05It's crazy.

01:07The NHL and NBA draft letters, there's nothing wrong with them.

01:11They work.

01:12You just don't like the outcome because the guy didn't come to your town?

01:16Cry me a river, girly man.

01:20I mean, honestly.

01:22Just leave it the way it is.

01:23There's nothing wrong with it.

01:24You know, the problem is in life is, you know, I get change is constant.

01:30But do we really have to change every single effing thing in sports every 3, 6, 9, 12 months?

01:41I mean, does everything.

01:42Do we not just go to a college 12 playoff system?

01:45And now we're already doing stories about 16 teams.

01:48The 68 in the NCAA is not enough for you.

01:51We're going to have 157,000 teams in the tournament?

01:55Like, stop with all the change.

01:57Go have a sandwich.

01:58I think the other thing, just off of it, is with the Spurs moving up to 2, and there's

02:07been a lot of talk that they're one of the teams that wants to go hard after Giannis.

02:12That's a pretty big, that's a nice chip to have, you know, because we're talking Dylan

02:17Harper, who, you know, in other years maybe would be the top pick in the draft, who's going

02:23to be sitting there maybe in that 2 spot.

02:25Listen, he's no Giannis, okay?

02:29No, he is not.

02:29I think he's a really good player, and I, you know, I know him.

02:35I've seen him play multiple times.

02:37I've played against him.

02:39I've played against his brother.

02:40I'm telling you, the kid's phenomenal.

02:44He really is.

02:45But let me tell you two things.

02:47One, he's nowhere near Cooper Flagg, and he is not, in my view,

02:54a savior at all.

02:59I just think he's a good player.

03:01His dad was a really good player.

03:02He's going to be like his dad.

03:04He'll have 30-point nights.

03:05There's no way you can tell me that guy is a generational savior player.

03:12And I got to tell you, this talk about Ace Bailey at 3, I think that's just starting to

03:17get drunk driving.

03:18You're drunk driving.

03:19Yeah.

03:19Okay, slow down with that.

03:21I mean, I saw them lose every game they played.

03:25I mean, if they're so, gee, damn good, how come you can't win a game?

03:30Honestly, they're not that good.

03:32No.

03:33Look, it would obviously be more than that.

03:36I think that they would have to do that.

03:38I think they have a pick at 14, 15 in the middle.

03:41I think it's 14 they have in the middle.

03:43And I think they'd have to give something on their roster, too.

03:46Maybe Castle.

03:47I think it would have to be Castle and the picks.

03:50You know, I think that there's a lot.

03:52You know, you're setting yourselves up.

03:53If you're San Antonio, then you're going to be like some of these other teams that have

03:57sold everything out to have three stars.

03:59You know, you would have Wemby, Fox, and Giannis, and you probably wouldn't have much else behind

04:06the three of them if you were to make a deal like that.

04:09Maybe you just stay the ground here and keep acquiring all these nice young players and

04:14try to build it that way.

04:15Yeah, I actually think that's the smarter move.

04:19I think he'll end up somewhere else.

04:21You know, the reality is this.

04:22I know this sounds crazy.

04:23They don't need it.
