00:00they claim that he had gotten up to 270. Now remember he hasn't played since Christmas when
00:05he got hurt. He's apparently very close to getting back. Now I saw, I'm sure you saw this as well,
00:11I saw the video of him getting off the plane in Los Angeles last night where he met Point.
00:18Right. He didn't, he didn't look 270 pounds in that video. He did not look heavy in that vid.
00:24He looked great. This is all, he looked great. This is like becoming like a hardened thing.
00:28Remember Harden like walked around like looking like he was fat, but then he got traded and then
00:32suddenly Harden was like 40 pounds lighter when he came out on the court. Like it kind of looks
00:38like that. Here's the two things I want to ask you about this before I give you this dope,
00:42this GM who traded him away. Number one, do you believe that LeBron actually didn't know?
00:47Because all we do, we heard this other story that oh he's out to dinner in New York after
00:52beating the Knicks. He had completely blindsided by this. He had no idea that any of this was
00:57coming. Do you believe that? And do you believe that the Mavericks, as they are right now,
01:04putting AD with Kyrie, those other bigs that they'll have, Gafford, Lively, et cetera, and
01:10Klay, can they actually win the title as they are right now in the next two or three years?
01:18Well, I think they, you know, at some level, Nico Harrison and then Mavericks have to win a title
01:24in the next two or three years with this core, with this five that they have now and bench that
01:30they have now. I think they're, I thought they were already obviously on the precipice of it.
01:36They were already in the final. They lost. It is what it is. I don't think that they lost because
01:43they didn't have Anthony Davis. I think they lost because the Celtics were the best team in the NBA
01:48last year and they were going to beat anybody that they played, including Dallas. I think if
01:52they played him again with Davis, it'd be a different story altogether because he's a
01:59two-way player, Mike. He plays at both ends of the floor. He scores and he dominates the glass
02:07at both ends, offensively, defensively. He blocks shots. He alters shots. He owns the paint and he
02:14gets rebounds and kicks the ball out and they rip and run. So yes, they have to. It's not a question
02:20of will they. They have to win a title in the next two or three years. Otherwise, people are
02:25going to turn on Nico Harrison like a witch. You find out the chick in the village is a witch and
02:32they burn her. So I think this guy, it took some serious stones to make this deal. And then I don't
02:41believe for one minute that LeBron didn't know. Because I saw something today when you look at
02:48his career, he's always had someone that he was Kyrie, Dwayne Wade, and now he's gotten rid of
03:02Davis. I don't think he got rid of him, but he's been around three big guys in his career that have
03:09all ended up running out the door or getting dealt or going or whatever. So I believe that
03:17he is such a central figure and focus of the Lakers. He literally runs the Lakers. I don't
03:23believe for one minute, frankly, I think Jeannie Buss is a businesswoman. I think Rob Palenka is a
03:29pretty boy. And I think LeBron James runs the Lakers. I think LeBron James said, I was out to
03:36dinner because he doesn't want to go through it for a fourth time or he's blamed for kicking another
03:41big-name star out the door so he could get something else that he wants. Some people don't
03:46think he can play with Luka Doncic. Those people are tripping.
