00:06chet uh hold on one second i wanted to say one thing about that uh today i was talking to gunner

00:12who's a huge thunder fan and he said uh now that uh and next year they gotta pay j-dub

00:18and then they'll be out of money so every guy is under contract forever on that team

00:26and the last guy to get the bag will be j-dub and williams will get that money

00:32and then they'll uh they'll have all these great players but they'll have no money left

00:38well uh remember the nba uh it's a salary cap but it's if you're signing your own players it's like

00:47it's not so you can as long as you're re-signing your own guys it you know it could keep going up

00:53you're just gonna have to pay that one guy's 285 million another guy's 250 million and you

01:00can't tell me that j-dub isn't better than holmgren yeah oh he's gonna get that same uh rookie max

01:07extension uh next year as well so that's how do you pay three guys a billion dollars

01:13well you better keep winning uh nba championships and getting all that extra uh revenue i think they

01:20will i do right now there's no way i pick anyone over them in that in that league and their win

01:28total 62 i'm on the over there as well i uh i do have that we'll see if we can get that in today if

01:35not it could be saved for tomorrow we're gonna see how that goes uh joker tells the nuggets he

01:40doesn't plan on signing an extension this offseason now a lot of people immediately ran to oh they're

01:46gonna have to trade over you gotta remember something if he waits till next year he can get

01:5180 million dollars more than what he could get this offseason because of how the nba extensions work

01:57and the max contract so so who can you blame the guy who wouldn't wait another year and get now

02:03you run the risk of him saying next year uh i i don't want to sign either but i don't fault him

02:11for waiting on this one because there's 80 million dollars more on the table next summer you know he

02:16acts like he wants to go back to serbia and race horses but i think that's uh what it is an act at

02:22the end of the day when someone puts 300 million dollars in front of you that buys a lot of meal for

02:28those horses believe me he's gonna take that money he's not going anywhere he's gonna do that big fat

02:35last deal and play for five more years and that's just all there is to it it is all there is to it

02:42the wizards trade kelly olenic to the spurs for uh malachi branham and draft picks big trade uh in the nba

02:50i honestly didn't think that they needed him at all i know they said they just added another big but

02:55what they really added was a guy that's uh old to a young team right like that is a very young team

03:05and now they got like this is not like getting hartenstein and caruso kelly olenic is you know

03:13i mean decent at best like honestly what is the difference between him or kevin love

03:20i mean at this point like i they don't they need him like they need a hole in the head

03:27he's old uh he's finished uh is really what i mean we're not nice here we don't like you know

03:35we're not nice i've never known him has he ever been better than decent he's he's decent you know he's

03:42big guy i'll give you that that's why he made the nba i think he's a decent player at best i mean calm down
