00:00Vince in the city wants to talk some warrior basketball. Hi Vince. Thank you for calling
00:05Hey, what's up guys?
00:07Well first I you know my thoughts on this whole rumor thing going on with like this crazy trade
00:13That's supposed to happen with warriors is I don't necessarily think there really is a trade that's going to be worth making out there
00:20You know, I don't think that you're going to be able to find the successor to the throne of curry when he retires
00:27And you know look with that in mind
00:30You're gonna have to trade a whole bunch of players away that are supposed to be that guy that
00:37Successor and I don't think JK is that I don't think Wiggins would be that
00:40I don't think we really have anybody on the roster who can be that
00:45So if you're gonna trade somebody I think hey trade him, you know make the move now step tried it
00:50He tried the whole two timeline thing and it didn't work. He's at the end of his career
00:55I think a guy who turned this whole franchise round from a five hundred billion dollar
01:01Franchise into a billion dollar franchise with four rings
01:04You got it kind of got a P is whatever he wants and it sounds like he wants to win now
01:09But one more before he's done
01:11So I think you know you tried that you tried a two timeline thing and building talent or building your core your draft
01:19draft picks, but it didn't work the woman now because
01:25Future I don't really see the Warriors being any more than a bit of playoff team
01:30I don't there's not a name out there. That's really making me think. Oh, man
01:34They could go on another four-year run unless it's somebody big who we probably can't afford
01:40LeBron
01:41Giannis, I don't even think Jimmy could do it
01:44There really there truly isn't anybody else that I think is gonna bring more than one more ring
01:49So I think why not just try to go for it now. Well, I have a chance
01:53Yeah, here's what I'd say Vince. Thanks. I I I don't know how you feel dibs. I agree with him
01:58Conceptually, but when he starts using words like a piece step first of all
02:03I think Steph Draymond in the organization are pretty close on the same page on all of this stuff
02:07So I don't think there's like an appeasing that has to happen
02:10I I absolutely am all in on getting help for now and trying to win now
02:17Provided that it's not
02:19Ridiculous provided that it's not going over the top
02:23Provided that it doesn't feel like you're just hucking something against the wall to see if it sticks like yeah
02:27Let's get Jimmy Butler and you can have her over there
02:29You want like no just and I'm not into giving up a bunch of picks for the future
02:33Yeah, like I just and again that everybody can draw that line where they want in terms of what's too much
02:40But I don't know that point for me sort of sounded too much like hey who cares about any of these players?
02:46Other than Steph and Dre. No, I I care about some of them some of them more than others, but
02:53Dunleavy's already shown us. He's not gonna be frivolous
02:56No, he's not gonna go willy-nilly into the trade market and for me the most interesting
03:00Piece to this and already we're kind of getting into coming a fatigue
03:05Portion of the season but for me it really is Jonathan coming
03:08Yeah
03:08And I know the money doesn't work out for a lot of pieces that you'd want to get back
03:13But the idea of do they or don't they will they or won't they?
03:18Should they or shouldn't they with Jonathan Kaminga do they or don't they love him and see him as a future one?
03:25Will they or won't they?
03:27Sign him in the offseason to a contract commensurate with what a player his age and his level will command
03:34Should they or shouldn't they keep him trade him sign him or the rest of it because we don't know what they feel
03:41Inside and if you ask 50 warrior fans
03:44The same question you'll get 30 different answers
03:47Sure
03:48Because some think that he's not ever gonna be good enough to be your one
03:52Some think that he is the sauce and he's the future and other people
03:56Really want Giannis or they want LeBron or Jimmy or the rest of it?
04:00So it's fascinating with all the different opinions around one 22 year old wing
04:06What do you make of this?
04:08Especially since the names you just brought up LeBron Jimmy Butler check this out Brian win horse ESPN with regard to the Warriors
04:16trade
04:17Discussions the most important names to watch between now and the February trade deadline isn't just Jonathan Kaminga
04:23It's also Jimmy Butler down in Miami
04:26Jimmy Butler is really since last spring when and when the Heat made it clear they were not going to extend his contract
04:33We were probably headed for an ending of the ways of between the Heat and Jimmy Butler
04:38I wouldn't say it's a done deal yet
04:40But I think teams are starting to kick the tires there and look and see what it might take and the Warriors are one
04:45Of them the Warriors have been really active and trying to look for a star player
04:50They kick the tires on a couple other stars over the over the summer
04:54And if Jimmy Butler is available and the Warriors feel like they need to upgrade that could be but who else is on their list
05:00Roz that's LeBron James and I know that this is one of the most fascinating
05:04Opportunities in the league
05:05It's a delicious scenario to think about the Warriors have dreamed of pairing LeBron with Steph Curry and Draymond Green since last year
05:12They've made an inquiry and it got shut down last February
05:17That was before LeBron played with Steve Kerr and Steph Curry and won the gold medal over the summer
05:22So they will definitely monitor the situation and I don't think they do anything without knowing this door is locked
05:28But I would just say with LeBron. It's up to him
05:31He has a no trade clause and he has given no indication
05:34He wants the Lakers to do anything but upgrade the roster. They've got not that he wants to go anywhere
05:38Let's focus on I don't think they do anything right until they know that that door is locked
05:46well, that becomes really
05:48time sensitive because if you know
05:50You take Wynnhorst at his word and I do what he said at the very end is
05:55LeBron is more interested in having them upgrade the roster than he is
06:00Seeking a trade right now, but right tuck in and I know that this is completely speculative
06:06But tuck in the news that broke right before our show started today. LeBron has left the Lakers
06:13For the time really temporary. Well, who knows who knows LeBron was not at practice today
06:20JJ Reddick said
06:22personal time he's taking some time and
06:25Was asked will he be back for the game on Friday? Don't know
06:29Unknown right now almost has a Wiggins feel to it
06:33So I want to leave open for I have no idea what's going on and I hope it's nothing bad with LeBron and his family
06:39But at the same time
06:41Could this be some sort of a power play frustration?
06:45Taking time to figure out what he wants to do next. I don't know. I don't know the timing of it is interesting
06:52Well the timing of it kind of makes sense when you look at where they are in the schedule and you know
06:57We're here NBA Cup time. So there aren't a lot of games right now
07:01It's a little bit of a lull as you know, the Lakers didn't make it in the cup and their next game is Friday
07:07So it'll be five days between games. So I mean really he could have done this. This is what's interesting
07:13he could have just stepped away from the team and
07:17Missed a practice so they played Sunday and they won't play again
07:21Until Friday and they already read it gave the whole team Monday and Tuesday off, right?
07:26So you come back on a Wednesday and everyone's coming back in and he then says or the word then comes out
07:33I'm gonna need a little bit more time. So time two days off wasn't enough. Maybe it is something personal
07:39We don't know but the timing of it, especially in the midst of a five-day break makes this even more curious
