00:00Yeah, you man the morning roast man. Like I like how that's how the convo I don't know how the conversation started
00:04it just kind of
00:05Developed into that. It's like yeah boarded radio, you know, I'm working off no sleep right now
00:09Getting back to your original point though. It does feel like to me
00:12I'm very excited for the warrior season this year and my favorite part of all of this and
00:17This is not a shot at clay thompson. So, please
00:20Just understand but I think him not being on the team
00:24Has kind of like reset or recalibrated everyone's feelings like the championship days
00:29Like hey, maybe we get blessed and something
00:33Magical happens and you know, they pull the sword from the stone to go with the king's analogy here
00:38Maybe but that's probably unlikely and if you're setting yourself up for championship, or i'm gonna be pissed
00:43Then you're probably gonna be pissed this year. I am not going in with that setting like the last two years
00:48They've you know barely got into the playoffs, uh, whatever you want to call it the play-in
00:52And so for me if you just made the playoffs this year, that'd be an awesome year. Well, you know what?
00:59They won 46 games last year and the season before sacramento 148 was the number three seed in the western conference
01:05Warriors won 46 last year didn't even make it to the playoffs and we're into place
01:08Shows you how deep the west is and i'll be good to see what minnesota looks like without carl
01:12Anthony towns, I do think them without carl
01:14Anthony towns, I don't think there's going to be a lot of drop off because I believe that much in naz read
01:19I believe that much in dmt. Dante de vincenzo and julius randall. I think they'll figure something out with him
01:25He's a bog, he is a ball hog, yeah, but he's on the team and I think
01:30I think they could make that work. Finch is a hell of a coach. I think finch will put them in positions to succeed
01:35Um, but I think they'll be okay. I think i'm gonna see that one first
01:38I don't think there's going to be a dramatic drop off without carl. Anthony towns
01:41Well car in the towns did destroy the warriors. It felt like yeah, he did but so does dodge reheat
01:47No, minnesota like to the war. Naz read is a warrior bear when draymond took it to him
01:52Reason is but but there was an unnamed player
01:55There was an unnamed player who told me he's like dude. I think we're getting 50 wins this year
01:59I think we're getting okay
02:00Okay
02:00Well, I I just did a whole segment on a whole setup on how I I think the playoffs would be outstanding
02:06It'll be an outstanding season. I had an unnamed player. Tell me 50 50
02:09They won 46 last year and they felt like they're going to be better. It does feel
02:14Again, this is all these feel like shots at clay and that's not what that's not where i'm going
02:19But it just feels like a lot of the oxygen of champion the championship oxygen
02:24That was like everywhere and it was almost difficult to breathe at times for a lot of these younger players
02:29A lot of that has gone out the room and I just think that there's more shots. There's more minutes. There's more
02:34um more up for grabs like jonathan kaminga
02:37I'm, very very very very excited to see what jonathan kaminga has in response to hey
02:44We don't think that you're right now worth 50 million dollars a year go out and prove it
02:49I'm happy that they're making that happen. I want to see him earn that money. No doubt
02:53We all do we all do and and dream on immediate day
02:56You know, we monty poole and I taped the warrior season preview yesterday
02:59We ran a lot of interviews from karatbrick who did a great job sit down with steve curds steph curry and draymond green
03:05andrew wiggins and jonathan kaminga
03:08and
03:08Look draymond made a good point actually
03:10He's like and then don't don't say that he's pocket watching as you're listening to 95 7k gmc fm and ac1 san francisco
03:16And odyssey sports station always live on the odyssey app this will go one or two ways
03:20But when you have a dean anthony melton on a one-year contract, it's playing for some money, right?
03:25It's playing for a contract gary peyton second playing for a contract. Well, he looked good. I saw shirtless gp2
03:32Uh at uh in hawaii, what'd you have a truly this guy's got like a 50 pack
03:38Hey, I don't think I don't think she asked he's gonna be uh ripping gp2 this year. He was smoothie
03:43What about the olympic club, baby? Let me show you buds. It was next level smoothie, baby. Hey gp2, man
03:49You're not a specialist man. I can't wait to see you play. Oh
03:53well when you when you donate your time and
03:56You help our community
03:57I have a soft spot for you. He's always done that. I know but I
04:01He did it with me in the room and his dad gary peyton
04:04The glove is the coach now at college at alameda. There you go juco junior college. Yep
04:09Alameda hornets, I believe the hornets. No gp2 is a really good guy. He's a really good guy. Look at this stuff over here
04:15Yeah, he is. No, no, he was he's a great dude, but he said what's up to media day
04:18But but you have gp2 playing for money. You have d'anthony belton playing for a contract
04:23Jonathan, kamiko moses moody are playing for contracts kavon looney is playing for a new contract
04:28So there's a lot of motivation individually
04:31and team wise and so
04:33I kind of like you know me. I like a guy to contract here. It can go one or two ways
04:37I you can make a decision for me. You're either gonna ball out
04:41Now we could get duped and overpay somebody and that happens in sports
04:44I get all that but I'd rather have a guy in a contract you're doing i'm gonna get the best out of this guy
04:48One way or the other so there's a lot of intrigue with this way receive
04:51There's no doubt about it and steve kirk's mentioning. We're going to shoot a lot of threes this year
04:56There's going to be a shift of philosophy. We may look more like the houston rockets
05:01From 2018 2017 2019 now, they'll take some mid-range stuff and take some mid-range jumpers or whatnot
05:06But a lot of other players are going to be empowered to shoot the basketball
05:09And by the way, tjd grew another inch. He looks great. Talked it up with him, too
05:14How about kaminga with the cisco hair?
05:17That's what they're doing the sakti. Oh boy sakti producer over to nbc sports area. What up sakti? Um,
05:23He said that they're doing that in soccer now all the african players in the premier league
05:27And they're doing a league of dyeing their hair blonde. Oh, really? I think that's the thing it's back now
05:31I guess it's back interesting because like you guys do you guys even get the reference?
05:36Thank you, please
05:38I was thinking simon phoenix demolition. Oh, that's a good one. You know, yeah meteor man
05:42Well, i mean dennis rodman took it to a whole nother level. Yeah
05:45You're not beating robin. No
05:47But like when I think of cisco, you know, like when I see kaminga that's what I think of right
05:51Even though cisco is probably like 5-1. So what you thinking of back and forth between uh, draymond and can we sponsor because
05:58That made the rounds yesterday on all the national television shows and we didn't really play because we're getting it's a
06:04We're kind of flexing our muscle and we were probably a little obnoxious yesterday. I fully admit I was obnoxious
06:09I went a little too hard on people and shout out to alexander simon. I love the kid
06:13I do i was just kidding. I was just busting his balls, but he's a good kid
06:17maybe he can write a uh,
06:18You know a story about the two of us how two local boys from the city raised in different necks of the uh,
06:24Neighborhoods, i'm not gonna i'm not gonna beg for any ink. Why don't you write a nice little piece about us?
06:28It'd be really nice, you know
06:29heaven forbid you write about two hometown boys making good on their promise to
06:33Dominate the airways. Oh, man. I'm not gonna go there. You could you could go there. I'm asking for it
06:38Yeah, i'm gonna be humble with this one. Yeah, i'm gonna be very humble with this one
06:41Um, but you know, I kicked down, you know
06:43I kind of punched out some people that are just you know
06:46No names on the app that is toxic as hell and I shouldn't have done that
06:50So I apologize to everybody out there because I felt a little self-righteous yesterday a little self-serving yesterday about everything that went down
06:56So I want to walk it back, but I was just excited but I admit when I when I drove home at that point
07:01I I really sounded like a a douchebag at times yesterday, you know, I was just flexing
07:06It was it wasn't right wasn't right
07:08Anyway, you have to dream on green back and forth for scott osler. Go ahead and play it at media day scott osler
07:13San francisco chronicle columnist spadoni's get uh grabbing it
07:17Obviously dream on green was he missed a lot of time last year
07:21playing 55 games suspended for 17
07:24Um hurt for some other ones some sickness personal issues or whatnot, but him it's 20
07:2927 games and they won 46
07:32There were 13 or 14 without dream on green
07:35that record gets flipped to
07:37I don't know 16 and 11
07:39You're in 50 wins. You're in a 50 win range. You're at the top seed. You're going to the playoffs
07:43You're playing in a seven game series and he knows it. Everybody knows it but scott osler
07:50Immediate day
07:52Took a shot
07:53And we had this awkward back and forth that media day between scott osler from san francisco chronicle
07:58And jerry mongreen go ahead and roll the spadone, you know people worry about you fans
08:02Maybe your teammates. Oh, they worry about me. I have a successful black man in america doing incredibly
08:07Well, what's the worry about you? There are way more people in this world to worry about than me. That's right
08:13But we're here now. So we're all here. I don't think you should worry about me
08:17Okay, i'm doing pretty well if you would have told me when I was 13 years old in saginaw, michigan without a pot to piss in
08:24That you'd be sitting here and somebody would say they're worried about you
08:28I would have probably told them they were out of their mind if they i'd be sitting here and they'd be worried about me
08:33Well, they're worried from themselves too. They want to know they don't feed. They know the team
08:38They're worried because they know the team needs you but they don't feed
08:41Their family's doing this
08:44So that's part one go ahead roll part two spadone i'm here i've been here for 13 years now
08:49If you're gonna be here every night been here pretty much all every night for 13 years
08:53Very much. So we all have look kavon looney played 82 games two years in a row and everybody was celebrating. We all miss games
09:01They want to know they're gonna be here
09:03i'm always here and
09:05Suspensions the guideline of getting suspended is something that's in place because it's a possibility. So
09:12I don't know what would change but I don't get the question. I think my mindset has helped us do some great things
09:18It's pretty cool. So it's all about how you spin it. I love how you try and spin it
09:22But it ain't my spin to a player. So yeah, it's good
09:27So what's it dig shasky he's back
09:32He's back, I mean like that's the first time scott osler's been called playa
09:36Probably a player and that is
09:38You know
09:39Trayvon didn't take the bait
09:41and I thought and i've talked to you guys about this behind the scenes and scott is a
09:45Accomplice, I actually really like scott. He's super nice to me. Yeah. No, and I I really like him as a guy as a guy
09:50No, he's my guy. I mean scott and I talk every single game every single game
09:55gabe, yeah, no gabe's a good dude, but I I we
09:58we uh
10:00I've talked to scott a lot over the years. I'm on the show over the years. I respect the hell out of scott
10:04He's been writing columns for my entire life. I mean, he's been this guy's been doing it since
10:10We weren't even thought of when scott scott's been writing over 40 years, I believe
10:13but I just saw
10:16the presentation of the question
10:18If you wanted to get that out the way I would ask it and who would I tell scott how to you know?
10:23I'm, not telling scott how to ask a question, but the way I probably would have asked it if I was going to go that route
10:30Hey german
10:32Do you think your teammates are worried about you due to all the
10:35Suspensions last year and what happened the last two seasons with the golden state warriors?
10:38Do your teammates worry about you staying on the floor? Do they worry about you mentally staying on the floor?
10:45and
10:46I would have gone with that route instead of hey, are your teammates worried about you?
10:50Because now you leave an open-ended question. The dream is a smart guy. He ain't no dummy
10:55Why would my teammates be worried about me?
10:57It's an easy back and forth there
10:59So I just thought the presentation and it just sounded like in talking to other journalists about it
11:04a lot of people thought boy
11:06I'm surprised scott went that route
11:08I will take your word on all of that because i've never been in a scrum asking questions like that
11:12And I don't I don't understand the tact or the maybe the fundamentals of how to do it
11:17So i'm gonna i'm gonna take your lead on it
11:19but but let me just just reflect on draymond for a man that
11:22Clearly is proud of all of the positives that he has accomplished in his life. There is an element of like come on, man
11:31You could take a little accountability on a few negatives that you might need to clean up a little, you know, and I think that
11:36uh
11:37Acknowledging that like yeah. Yeah, I got myself suspended last year and
11:41no one is saying you got to beat yourself up over it, but
11:44Do you really have to be defiant to the point where it sounds like you're just not taking any accountability just a little bit of
11:51Reflection just a little would just go a long way like it's day one. Do we really need to be exhausted with this already?
11:57well, I don't think you know, I'm gonna say we are yeah, no, but
12:01You know when we talk about accountability for what happened last season
12:05You can have your opinion about it. I feel like he's addressed it
12:10Throughout last season and in the summertime, you know what i'm saying? And so i'm thinking
12:14You know with the team going to hawaii
12:17It felt like he was getting provoked to relive that okay and and I felt like he's look it's done right it's done
12:23What happened last season is done and it sucks because I thought they could evade the playoffs and I hated the fact that dream
12:28I was suspended because he told me it was the most important season of his career and he got popped for 17 games
12:34He got popped
12:35That's on him, but I felt like he's addressed it so much that
12:39As a fan base just like the four hounds
12:41I do think the fans are just ready to move on from farhan's like we don't even care about him
12:45I'm kind of like that with the dream on thing from the last two years
12:48I just want to move forward. It's like man. Can we get back to the playoffs?
12:51This goes back to and this is just I think a constant theme with him
12:54Like dude, you knew it was going to be asked. I would have had a just a more refreshing way to pivot off it
12:59Hey look last year's last year. I made some mistakes. I'm going to try to learn from them
13:04You know, it's always a possibility that I you know, because I run hot I know that and i'm working on that man
13:09And i'm trying to move forward and this year i'm going to do everything I can to try to make myself
13:13Something i'm paraphrasing or whatever. I don't know people are gonna say but that's draymond
13:17He has to live on the edge. Just give him the bs answer and move on
13:21And I think that you diffuse the whole thing, right? I understand everyone's angle of it. It's just like
13:27The last thing I want to do is relive what happened last year because in part why they lost when they did
13:31Right is in part because of the suspense. Yeah, no doubt. No doubt
13:34So scott was asking. Hey, are your teammates worried about you? And he was like what?
13:37What?
13:38Huh, so you kind of left it open in the question
13:41But yeah, it was an awkward back and forth and on media day, which I did not expect but quite frankly it has zero
13:47Bearing on the season none. None whatsoever. None whatsoever
13:52And now people may have some opinions on it
13:54I would love to hear from warrior fans on the opinions about that eight eight eight nine five seven nine
