The Detroit Pistons Are BAD! Ja Morant Is REALLY GOOD! Zion Contract Not Guaranteed! (048)| FERRO

NBA champions Horus Grant and Bill caught right in the building to watch their Chicago Bulls take on the King LeBron James and the Lakers first quarter is Mr you know who down the lane year 21 where LeBron the ridiculous Throwdown other end Kobe White and the

Bulls had a response Demar D Roan was a part of it the fadea away Duce to Bulls extending their lead to double digit on the Laker and Javon Carter is not done catches LeBron slipping pulls up and the three-pointer Chicago up by 15 remember me former Laker Alex Caruso

There’s been some Rumblings Caruso letting the Lakers know what they missing with the throw down here comes the purple and gold throw it’s Anthony Davis off the cam ready steel and D but the Lakers got to get back Kobe white going right at that Lakers defense with little to no resistance 177 and5

For Kobe white third quarter when you the king you get things like that to go your way LeBron gets the roll he had 25 and 10 D rozan I thought he doubled he gets the deuce to go D rozan at 27 and N this a scary play for the Lakers

They’re down six when this happens as ad gets the block on Kobe not about that you see right there ad sprains that ankle he would be forced to leave the game for a few minutes and in those few minutes the Bulls take advantage as you

Can see by the end of third the lead’s already up to 15 ad will return but now he’s all out of whack not on the same page with LeBron thinking buun wants to pass but since LeBron’s not looking at ad ad is called for the double dribble

And then Kobe Nails the three you already spray my ankle now you going to do that over me you know I’m not good cuz you did me not good the Chicago Bulls are going to get the home Victory as AO doomo Nails the three D Roan finds

Nikola vvi for the three your final from the shy is 124 to 108 over the Los Angeles Lakers if you are like me and love flexing your NBA knowledge you should head over to the best place to play fantasy sports that’s Underdog fantasy for me I love to pick

When Luca johnon and the Dallas Mavericks take on kawhai Leonard and the Clippers these two teams got history playoff history at that first quarter Kawai saying remember me Fade Away jump shot is money Luca like you know anything you can do I can do better I

Can do anything better than you no you can’t yes I can no you can yes I can no you can kawad Nails the three to respond to Luca but the done not done with James Harden trying to guard him that’s just too good to the point where even

Harden’s got to give it up to Luca a little smack on the butt you did that says Harden but then James did this the lob to iaka zubac the Clippers are up by 18 right before the half though Dallas get a little get back Tim Hardway Jr n the three third

Quarter off the steal it’s thj again throw down and just like that the Dallas deficit is down to five but kawat ain’t done spinning winning and Dylan he puts the Clippers back up by six that’s ridiculous English on that bad boy LCA got help nowadays the D

Inside the Dante exom and then Dante who’s finding a home in Texas by the way with the MAV Nails the three Dallas takes the onepoint lead in the fourth Harden it’s like all right that was cool but I’m him the bearded won a three of

His own and since we showing love to the lefties how about Derek Jones Jr the fake the keep the score the bucket plus the foul Dallas back up by point they get down again though here’s the dun keeping his m team within Striking Distance Luca had a triple double 28 10

And 10 to onepoint game Kawai looking and finding Norman pal inside plus the foul 21 points for Norman there was no Paul George in this one pal didn’t mind the extra minutes and shots when he wasn’t shooting it was either Harden or that dude kawwai all a part of his game

High 30 points managed to grab 10 rebounds also chipped in five assist is most importantly his Clippers got the nine-point win over the maps good news bad news good news Anthony Edwards is playing basketball the bad news is he’s going against the hottest player in the NBA Joel embiid leading his Philadelphia

76ers in the war first quarter and B in the sharing mood he finds Maxi for three Minnesota been on their grind though this year Carl Anthony towns kind of dragging and be as he scores the tipid and then how about this pass from the kill Alexander Walker to Edwards for

Three look at that wraparound dime and he found the right man AE rewards Alexander Walker for his very hard efforts other end Maxi been playing hard all year Nails the three AE tries to end Joel embiid nvp campaign for his second straight year that dunk does not go but he

Probably made him be mad but first off McDaniel nails with three he had 21 points other end and be calmly nailing the free throw line jump shot and his game so nice he probably should do it twice the big fella carrying the pictures at this point third quarter

It’s a e going glass and then Edwards showing you 27 points of work Minnesota now out in front by six because AE said so but the Sixers got a response it’s an MVP and beid with the nasty spin on NAS Reed looking like hakee elijahwan but it’s

Not hakee it’s Joel embiid embiid going past Minnesota the technically best team on the defensive end in the NBA embiid made him look like M Meat Joel embiid got help from this D Maxi who had 35 points five three-pointers made from Maxie inside we go the Sixers extend

Their lead to double digits Joel embiid a cool c collective 51 he missed the free throw that would have gave him 50 but embiid in his bag so much he immediately gets it back and goes over the 50 mark this dude Joel has had 12 straight games of 30 30 and 10 nobody’s

Done that since Kareem Abdul Jabar he’s put the Sixers on his back he led him to a 127 113 win over Minnesota Tyrese halber and the Indiana Pacers got the task of dealing with J Mor in his home debut this season J wasted no time showing Memphis what they’ve been missing it’s

Mor with the right J you got to respect him he draws two which leaves jiren Jackson open for three Jackson had 21 points jiren on the attack showing you the left Memphis up by eight second quarter we go it’s John Mor to zire Williams for show Memphis already up

22 oh you can fix it just like that hun J yeah I guess he can halberton keeping Indiana around two mid-range jump shots got the Pacers deficit down to five before the half Tyrese had 17 points and 14 dimes here’s one of them third quarter it’s Obie toppen right place

Right time right grind 22 points for topping you know who’s benefiting the most from J being back is this dude Desmond Bane already been having a great season but now he’s going to get some even opener looks he’s got J back and J’s doing things like that that dime to

Xavier Tillman and then it’s j attacking the rim with ferocity who going to stop that man Memphis regains an 11-point lead in the fourth zier trying to get it in to Tillman bad pass Benedict Matan takes advantage Pacers trying to hang around but win is winning time the Grizzlies

Got J and Jared the Pacers do not it’s j up top to Jared and then it’s Bane one more get for three 31 points seven assists for Desmond and ja’s home debut J had 25 and8 it was his energy that really put this thing over the top

The Grizzlies win 116 103 Paul George set to do battle without his Ford mate no kawh lard as the Clippers head to OKC to take on the Thunder OKC got all they key pieces though and they were all effective first quarter you see Josh giddy with the dime to SGA and then guildas

Alexander doesn’t need nobody to pass it to him because he can do things like that the Thunder already up nine we’re still in the first Josh giddy a little do it himself Mission I’d already passed the rock this time I want to show you my skill set 11 points for giddy his night

Ended early second quarter Paul George body language not so great as he misses the jump shot lugan jords throws it down I showed you good giddy here’s bad giddy you see Jos rolled at ankle attacking that Clippers defense he would leave the game and not return I showed you bad Paul George now

I’m about to show you good PG there goes that beautiful mid-range jump shot and when you make one the body language is a lot better Clippers cut their deficit down to third quarter is Harden giving him the lead the bearded one at 23 points n rebounds six assists cat hogen the rookie getting

Crafty going off the glass to himself hren Matt Harden’s energy with 23 points himself also had six rebounds seven assists and then from there you already know SGA said may I have this dance Los Angeles gilis Alexander for three the steel and the three throw down you

Already know what that stat line looking like for guilis Alexander 31 points eight rebounds four assists four steals it’s the Oklahoma City Thunder put an end to a Clippers winning streak they win by 19 the Utah Jazz entered Detroit without a bunch of their key coocks no marketing no Clarkson no ton Horton

Tucker No rookie keonte George so the Pistons got a chance to win a basketball game first quarter Marvin baggley flushing and then Katy Cunningham shooting the Pistons are up eight points in a basketball game but it’s Detroit so that means the other teams got a chance

Kelly oen gets the N1 he had a big night Chris John had a double double there’s one of the dimes in transition to O abaji who throws it down now aaji showing you the range nailing the three-pointer just like that the jabz have come back to take the double digit

Lead just like Detroit but Cunningham says enough is enough he had 20 eight points 10 assists could he lead Detroit to a win Colin Saxon says no he lays it in second half Jay Navi remember me pulls up dece counts plus the foul Detroit down one other end we go it’s

Simone Peko for show nail in the three Jazz up by six more aaji showing you what hard work and dedication can do aaji had 18 points Peko had 16 this game still in Utah’s favor fourth quarter done the floater it’s money oh man Detroit’s about to lose again ain’t they

Cunningham says not so fast Pistons Trail by five but uh here’s more of what got Detroit and the mess that they’re in right now the turnover leads to John Collins throwing it down he had 13 and then oen Nails the Deep Trey Ball 27 points six assists four steals

Three rebounds for oen and the short-handed Utah Jazz beat the wul Pistons by eight welcome to another episode of The Who far podcast I Am Yours Truly the one and only I am Pharaoh we start this episode off first off showing some love to today’s sponsor Underdog fantasy make sure you tap in

Lock your pics in Christmas day in the NBA is a day like none other as you can see Underdog fantasy’s got you covered with a give me pick LeBron James higher or lower than half a point listen I’ve been watching LeBron James his entire career I’ve never seen him score less

Than half a point in a basketball game so what does that mean all you need is one additional pick presumably correct to win tap in right now Underdog fantasy please use the code pharaoh and you’re going to get a deposit match first time around all right thank y’all so much

Rocking out please use that code phoh I want to start this episode of the hfo podcast in Detroit where I’m not so sure if the Pistons are even there anymore they haven’t been there for quite some time 25 losses in a row following the Pistons defeat to a Utah Jazz team that

Presumably should have been easy to beat Utah didn’t have L Markin and their best player their second best player Jordan Clarkson they didn’t have konay George they’re very talented rookie hell they ain’t even throw tayor hon tuck out there damn Detroit y’all couldn’t be F the Pistons are a whopping 2 and 26

After starting the season off two- one I remember doing the game highlight for their second win of the season they beat the Chicago Bulls if you remember Zack LaVine had 51 points in that game that’s why I vividly remember that highlight they ain’t won a damn game since it’s

Bad in Detroit first time head coach in Detroit Mony Williams has taken a lot of the blame for this and deservedly so he got the bag and the team a responding after this loss to the Jazz money said I want to be careful with my words because

This one hurts more than most of them a team that played last night in Utah got 5050 points off turnovers and rebounds it is unbelievably hard to understand how we can get outworked in those categories Kate Cunningham the former number one overall pick supposed to be

The best player of this team Kate said we’re not two and 26 bad no way way we’re that bad I think we can turn this around we can play a much better brand of basketball I I don’t know where you where Detroit goes from here if if if

You listen to your boy pharoh of recent I’ve been telling you guys I’ve been tapping into a lot of college basketball as well as the NBA product and I’m looking around ladies and gentlemen there is no standout number one player in this upcoming draft in 2024 you know not only

Is there not a Victor wiama uh not only is there not not a Chad Homen Apollo banero I’m having a hard time looking and seeing a guy as talented as Jabari Smith Jr right now not to say that you know somebody might not somebody could easily climb that that totem pole in

2024 and make themselves the clear-cut number one and number twos number threes I don’t see it right now and let’s just say one guy does put himself above the rest of that class who’s to say the Detroit Pistons are going to get the number one overall pick there is a such

Thing as a draft lottery in the NBA so this is awful and again my thing is I don’t see where things can 100% get better there’s no big- time injury with Detroit they’re not missing JN Morant hell their JN Morant is supposed to be K Cam and right now he’s not getting it

Done I’ll be honest with you K Cunningham is a guy that I did not believe in coming out of Oklahoma State but watch this during his rookie campaign he actually sold me on him being a lot better than I thought I feel really stupid right now because Kate

Cunningham is the player that he sold me to be his rookie campaign there is no way on God’s green earth a guy that supposed to be as good as Kate is is supposed to be the point guard for a team that’s 2 and 26 right now 25

Straight losses for the NBA’s worst the Detroit Pistons it is bad in Detroit they got mask on I mean it’s Cleveland Browns bad remember them really bad Cleveland Browns teams of a decade ago it’s bad in Detroit right now they screaming sail the team the rebounds oh second 50 piece of the

Season there is nobody in the NBA playing better basketball not just in December the entire damn season more than joyel em beid is playing right now joy and beid is on another level from every single body right now that includes Giannis that includes joic and that includes Luca if the season where

They in today I don’t believe there are any question marks about who is the NBA’s regular season MVP once again it would be Joel andb backto back years ladies and gentlemen I keep hearing the same question about if you’re Philadelphia What star do you put around

Joel embiid I got a hot take for you I wouldn’t put any star next to Joel embiid my solution to my problems I believe is already on the roster in Philadelphia I’m going to make Joel and be figure it out in the playoffs that’s what I’m G to do I’m gonna make him

Figure it out I’m gonna make him fail so bad that he finally fails forward I believe one of these years embiid is going to get through the humps that has hindered him in the second round of the playoffs thus far in his very young career if anything I’ll go out and maybe

Add a piece like a Jordan Clarkson a Big Shot maker that will either take some pressure off Tyrese Maxi or allow Clarkson to get one-on ones in the playoffs I’d go do that but I’m not adding another star to Philadelphia right now I like what I got in Maxi I

Love what I got in embiid I’m riding with it to the wheels fall off I believe Joel embiid is going to get over this hump pretty much by his damn self by his failures I think his failures are going to fail forward because you look at the

Rate at which this dude has grown since he’s got in the league I’m be honest with you by now I thought MB would have already played his best basketball I was wrong he’s still getting better he is dominating the NBA right now still averaging 35 points and six assists

Obviously double digit rebounds there is nobody playing better ball than Joel and beid and he’s got the narrative for another MVP CU he’s got the very rare i w MVP and my star teammate wanted to get traded so embiid had the story with James Harden last year now the Sixers

Pretty much bring back the same team minus Harden they go get some rotational players and the team is jelling perfectly they’re one of the Easter Conference best and when I look at Milwaukee with the amount of talent that they supposedly got bringing in Dame and when I look at other teams like the

Chicago Bulls underwhelming when I look at pretty much every team not named to Boston Celtics out east I’m looking at the Philadelphia 76ers as overachieving compared to the talent they got on their roster and I give embid a lot of damn credit for that what that man just did

Against the Minnesota Timberwolves I mean come on bro I mean do I need to really go down and break it down verbatim Minnesota had the NBA’s best defense this man just put a peaceful 51 on their head top and they have it first to start the

Fourth Mor drives got to the cup laid it up and in and the foul here’s what I need from job Mor I need him more than anybody else to realize there is absolutely no other job Morant on the face of this Earth what he’s great at what he does for a small

Market team in Memphis is undeniable it’s incredible he is the Memphis Grizzlies listen John Moran goes out and drops 26 and8 on the Indiana Pacers the Grizzlies get their second straight win since J’s been back statistically nothing was going to top what J did in his debut of the Season

Against the New Orleans Pelicans he goes 346 and8 knocks in the gamewinner at the bus buzer after the Grizzlies Trail by 19 points in the second half of that basketball game against the Pelicans nothing was going to top that except John Morant being there so he topped it

Not statistically but he topped it with his energy johnar had people going to that Grizzly game that had no intentions on touching that product until he got back I had so many friends at that freaking Memphis Grizzlies home I’m calling it The Home debut that the FedEx

Forum because J’s back is their home debut their season just started he is the spirit of the Memphis Grizzlies but I need number one before any fan any teammate any coach any family member any friend I need johnar to realize that more than anybody cuz when I’m watching

This this dude play basketball and I’m watching him dominate on the court he affect so many lives with his greatness and when I watch him after the game do something is one thing I didn’t like in the midst of John Moran going crazy on the Pelicans he’s he’s heading to the

Locker room and I’m hearing him say I kept receipts and I’m thinking to myself kept receipts what the hell you keep receipts for you kept receipts on the strapped at y’all but what job Mor said he kept receipts you would have thought the NBA wronged him you would have

Thought he went to jail and was actually innocent of all charges that’s absolutely not what happened to J he got caught on IG live on his homie Instagram and J had the the the strap on him in his hand and and it’s a bad look for the league I don’t want to hear

About no goddamn Josh giddy all right we talking about John Morant I’m sorry have y’all seen Josh giddy play this year it ain’t about him in OKC he not a freaking face of the league I don’t want to hear about miles Bridges when was the last time you turned to Charlotte Hornets on

And watched him for a whole game I actually watched them play I’m just saying the Casual fan out there what the last time you watched the damn Hornets game from start to finish I don’t care about them don’t tell me about no damn got Josh giddy don’t tell me about no

Damn miles Bridges job morand is one of the faces of the league so when he does something it’s going to be highly magnified the internet knows about JN Morant he’s in Twitter culture he’s in our culture so things that he does is going to get put on a bigger stage the

The honest to God truth nobody would be talking about Josh gidy if what happened to John Morant didn’t happen you think people give a crap about about what Josh gidy obviously I’m not promoting anything that he’s been accused of the reason why that was such a big story

Online and it got to the desk of the NBA is because people are comparing it to this dude John Morant so even that ain’t even you can’t even do that with me John Morant is him I need him to realize that I don’t want to hear about no damn red

Receipts okay I don’t care about that no no nobody wronged you Adam Silva really rocking with you if I’m being honest with you he really trying to throw you lobs to fix it he really threw you alive the first time around I’m going tell you some real on the side since the Indiana

Pacers were in in Memphis taking on the gries you just downed them because you so damn great we want to be truthful last year when the Pacers came to Memphis around this time allegedly y’all flashed The Beam on the pace of Staff if Adam really wanted to play that game

With you J he really could have threw you under the table for that one he really could have gave you a 82 game Gilbert arenz Javaris critter suspension for that mess so don’t nobody roong you I don’t if if and if that’s the mentality you already up to a bad start

It ain’t gonna work anyway because you gonna do something dumb again I don’t even want that to be the mentality I want John morett to know that he’s better than most people he is great at something something that athletically 99.999999% of the world we can’t do I I

Need johnar to understand that number one as long as he’s got that he’ll make sure the family’s in place he’ll make sure the friends don’t mess this up he’ll make make sure the teammates work hard he’ll make sure the coaches on APS and q’s he’ll put asses in the seats

Fans are going to come out to see job Mor he’s just that damn great but again it all starts with John Morant realizing he is him po passion Z picks it off oh and he misses the dunk oh my I see a big Brit on his face it like it’s not loose

Yet yeah very interesting tidbits about Zion Williamson’s contract as we close out this episode of The Who Fair podcast according to the Athletics Mike vulkanov the last three years of Zion’s contract are not guaranteed I had no idea about this Zion signed his extension in July of 2022 I’ll explain to you the

Significance of that in a second but apparently and this is according to spot rack ladies and gentlemen the last three years of Zion’s deal are contingent on his health so just to put it out there there 20% of Zion’s 25 26 salary becomes guaranteed if he passes all six of his we in

Checkpoints during the 2024 25 season 40% of Z’s 25 26 salary becomes guaranteed if he plays 41 games during the 24 25 season additional 20% if he plays 51 games the remaining 20% if he plays 61 games okay salaries for the 2026 27 and 2728 seasons can all be re

Guaranteed if the above metrics are hit the season prior weight must be under 295 PBS body fat must be moned injury sustained to right foot is also a piece of the puzzle about Zion’s contract I had no idea that this was out there thank y’all for bearing with me as I

Read it to you I’m so intrigued by this because number one Zion signed this contract in 2022 but didn’t kick in out the gate the contract is just kicking in this season so last year was the last year of his rookie deal technically but the metrics

Of this contract were based off of last year which again the contract now is triggered to be not guaranteed because of the amount of games that Zion didn’t play last year during the 2022 23 season I hope you’re following me I’m trying to figure out how can a new contract I

Understand it’s an extension I’m trying to see how a new contract can be contingent off of something that happened in the last contract I don’t know who the hell Zion’s agent but that’s bad hustling let me tell y’all something the NBA is not the NFL and the

NFL people get replaced all the damn time unless your name is Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen Joey burrow I mean after that I’m really reaching to be honest with you guys you can get replaced at any during time time all these great wide receivers the Jamar Chasers the Justin

Jeffersons by the way they’re both free agents this off season will shall see if they stay in Minnesota Cincinnati I got my doubts anybody can get replaced in the NFL I can get about 65 70% of the production 80% Less on the contract and the NBA it ain’t like that these dudes

Are one of ones every football player out there for the most part dreams of being an NBA player wish they were being an NBA player Zion Williamson is a oneof one player his brand is big he’s had some stumbles he has not played games for the life of me I would have never

Signed this deal if I’m Z somebody would have paid him as is has he had he opted to not sign that deal with the Pelicans had he played out his rookie deal yes they would have had a team option on one additional year but I mean hell if

Something happened God forbid to Z tomorrow they can tear up the back end of that contract this is the NBA you do not have to sign non guaranteed deals when you’re as great as Zion which makes me go somewhere else either Zion’s got a terrible agent or the second thing maybe

We’re there’s more here to Zion’s Health maybe he’s got concerns about his health why would he sign this if I’m Zion somebody else will pay me wait no no no no no the Knicks will give me the fully guaranteed today I don’t give it they don’t care about my concerns they don’t

Care how big I was you see Eddie Curry remember him they don’t give a damn what way in New York they just want him so to me it it’s more telling of maybe Zion not feeling as if though he had as much leverage and wanted to get some locked

In is as quick as he could he did not have to sign this deal I am baffled that Zion decided to sign this contract with seemingly so much of it in the Pelicans favor cuz let’s say Zion goes over the way let’s say he can’t get a handle on

His weight and he hadn’t had the greatest year thus far let’s say he can’t get a handle on his weight the pel just just going to let him go I don’t I’ll call the Pelicans Bluff at least definitely in 25 26 they GNA at least play that thing out until 27 at least

Like I don’t think they G to really let him go you rather have them on the roster and trade them bare minimum you’re just not going to let a talent like that walk so I think it’s a bluff call it’s a terrible deal for Zion everybody gets guaranteed money in the

NBA when you’re at his level or better I don’t understand that one I want to thank you though for rocking out with your boy and tuning in to another episode of the whoos podcast make sure you lock in them pics with Underdog fantasy thank y’all so much time love
