00:00I thought some of the most ridiculous stuff I've seen since this happened late on Saturday night was people telling me that this means, oh, the Lakers now won't win this year, or the Lakers can't win now in the short term because of this.
00:15That's nonsense. It really is. You put these two guys together. I know they have no bigs right now, and they'll probably figure that out by Thursday.
00:23But these two guys together, and if there's anyone, Scotty, in the league, in fact, I think LeBron is the only guy in the entire league that Luka can go and play with and actually take not a second fiddle but a backseat.
00:39It's LeBron. He's the only guy he probably respects in the entire league that he would sit there and learn something from him.
00:46And LeBron's going to show him. Look at the history of this franchise, my man. I came here after Jack and Kobe, Magic, Kareem.
00:55I'm going to pass this on to you, for when I'm done, you're going to be the guy that leads this historic franchise.
01:02I think Luka locks in, and he's going to be phenomenal in Los Angeles and even change some of his ways. I think he'll change some of his ways, too.
01:11I mean, fabulously put, Mike. I mean, well said. And respect. That's exactly what's happening here.
01:19And let me tell you something else. Here's a guy that will—he's already 40, and he's unstoppable still. Plays like he's 30.
01:29He has had to carry that franchise since the day he went there. He is a point forward. He plays—he has the ball 98% of the time.
01:40When they bring the rock up the floor, he's got the ball. So now, can you even fathom with this guy?
01:48Because now Luka's going to have the ball. The offense is changing overnight. Can you flip a pancake? Here's what's going to happen.
01:54Luka will bring the ball up every time, and LeBron James is going to be free to destroy lives.
02:01This guy's going to get him the ball. You like watching him dunk? Well, guess what? He's going to dunk 40% more.
02:07You like watching him finish at the 10? That's going up 75%. Because he's had to play outside at the perimeter.
02:15He's chucking threes from 35 feet. Those days are over, bro. He's going inside now, doing whatever he wants.
02:21He's going to be free to roam off screens. He's going to be in an offensive motion.
02:25And he's going to have a guy that knows how to find buckets like Snowfall finds the ground.
02:33I mean, honestly, hearing people analyze either-or, like that this guy can't play with him or that Davis isn't going to fit with Dallas.
02:44Where do these people come up with this stuff? I mean, it's almost like I feel like I'm in a world of idiots.
