NBA TODAY | “Klay will ELEVATE with Luka & Kyrie” – Perk claims Mavericks are scariest team in West
signage here right his longtime teammate Draymond Green offered up his perspective on his latest podcast episode take a listen I do know the joy that basketball brings him in like it brought sadness it brought unhappiness last year for him and again if you ever care about someone’s wellbeing go through the struggle with somebody and you only care yeah your number one goal for that person is to see them happy and enjoying what they do because care about their well-being then like a part of me wanted Clay to leave um and not wanting him to leave in the sense of like want him to leave uh but want him to leave because you only want to see him be the guy that you know he is H so Draymond thinks that basketball brought sadness and unhappiness to Clay last season which honestly makes me sad to think about because clay when you watch him and he kind of has that fire in him he’s one of the most fun players to watch in the NBA so chop it or drop it do you think that Dallas sort of gives him that renewed sense of joy in this game Let’s chop it absolutely and I think when you care about someone you want them to be great no matter what environment they’re in and I do like that Draymond did say that he also said that he had some tears he didn’t show it in the podcast but you know guys are brothers man manice is that what we’re calling tears that’s hilarious but I do think it’s difficult especially when you’re the first one of the big three in Golden State to have their role truly minimized and also a lot of their problems pinned on you not performing at the level that came before now he chose to go somewhere where he doesn’t have to deal with that his role as a catch and shooter purely is going to be maximized alongside Luka donic and you cannot knock him for wanting that particularly because it’s a difficult position to be in so I’m happy that they’re happy both of them um and care about the well-being first foremost and it’s interesting to hear that perspective from Draymond a player that not that long ago we had questions about whether or not he would be the first player of that Trio to exit Golden State and now it is still that that duo is still intact all right let’s go to the east now next up Donovan Mitchell he I’m willing to bet my left big toe that LeBron James is not your right one not my left I love that LeBron James is not taking a pay cut or considering him taking a pay cut for the Lakers Future Park uh have you ever been happier that you got a prediction right all the predictions made on the show I mean I mean thanks to Rob pelik I still got my left big toe you know what I can honestly say all of us are so very happy for you and for your big toe those are words I didn’t think would come out of my mouth on this fine Wednesday all right for those who missed it the news from Adrien wowski this morning LeBron James has agreed to return to the Lakers on a two-year $104 million contract the deal brings LeBron back for his 22nd NBA season and entally becomes a OnePlus One deal that allows him to reassess his Lakers future and really his NBA future next summer so let’s bring in Dave McMan our NBA reporter who covers the Lakers so what is LeBron agreeing to a OnePlus One Dave instead of this full three years signal to you like it signals to me that this could very well be the last contract that LeBron James signs in his storied NBA career it’s been a point of Pride for him and his representative Rich Paul of clutch Sports that his entire career he’s played out every contract that he signs there’s never been a time where he’s asked for a trade uh to a teams there been time he’s been traded um from a team he was on and so every time he put his pen to paper the terms of that contract were delivered by him as a player now if he was to sign a 2 plus one or a three-year deal maybe he had some doubt in his mind whether he’d be able to fulfill that contract um this puts him in a situation to play one or two more years perhaps get that kind of numerology of number 23 playing 23 seasons in the league the most ever I I would remind you right now 22 will tie him with Vince Carter uh and be a way to kind of ride off into the sunset but again I had to emphasize here LeBron James certainly it’s been an amazing occurrence to have the chance to play alongside his son bronnie James but he still wants the Lakers to be exploring every Avenue to get better so they be competitive as possible next year you mentioned bronnie Dave you also reported today that he agreed to a four-year deal with the Lakers what should we know about how that contract looks all right first of all let’s have a brief history lesson here Malika last year number SE uh 57 pick in the second round Trace Jackson Davis signed a very similar deal four-year deal with an option at the end the number 58 pick Chris Livingston with the Bucks similar deal multi-year contract this is the same situ sitation that bronny James is in I know there’s people out there that are going to want to criticize the Lakers and LeBron and bronny James and ignore the facts but let’s consider the facts there’s a highrisk high reward type of situation here if Brony James ends up hitting the way the Lakers expected to the way they hope he can underneath J JJ dtic and their new player development program then hey it’s a Team friendly deal as they are a borderline second apron uh team in they need to find things like that to be able to stay competitive in this window while you have LeBron James and Anthony Davis and so you’re not going to draft the kid unless you have a CH a plan to have him on the actual roster and now the work really begins couple days from now we’ll see him up in San Francisco his first summer league action against the GS yep summer league right around the corner Dave McMan thank you so very much but we know LeBron’s deal is far from the only news around the league on this fine Wednesday in July so let’s just run through a little of the best of the the rest it’s a little chop it or drop it here we’re going to start by sticking with LA the Lakers they’re hiring Nate McMillan and Scott Brooks as top assistants alongside JJ reck on his new staff it’s according to W and it gives the rookie head coach two longtime veterans on his team who have combined 31 seasons of head coaching experience between them but did you know Mark that these two they have a little bit of History we have to go through the archives here McMillan and Brooks actually they threw some hands back in 93 in the playoffs so drop it or drop it these two have offici squash their beef but no reality what do they bring to the well uh definitely chop it and you know Scotty don’t look tough but he he from like Central California he’s from Farm country so don’t don’t sleep on Scotty Brooks I love this move for JJ reic I mean you got two veteran head coaches on your bench they’ll know everything and one thing I know about Nate and Scotty as you see right here they’re they’re tough-minded and they won’t be scared to say anything to anybody so to have two veteran for head coaches who are both capable of being head coaches in the league by your side there there’s nothing that JJ will miss whether it’s practice games preparation great move by JJ I love that little you know freeze right there on the just the the the strangle moment all right Chan next up Klay Thompson the four-time Champ’s 13-year run with the Golden State Warriors has come to a close it’s still weird seeing his name over Dallas dropped a little commercial did you see this for his newest shoe fre strip life so he threw down a monster dunk in this ad but but perk was it too good of a slam watch it here Cho or drop like is this real absolutely not you know what was real me shooting those three-point shots me shooting those three-point shots with lethal shooter right here they added a little something to that you could tell you could tell when he went between his legs it it spared up a little bit so I mean you know at the end of the day was a dope commercial shout out to C Wilder I see him doing his thing you know what I’m saying one of those guys in the YouTube space that has maximized to his to his abilities people a lot of people first of all the video view shooting threes got like hundreds of thousands of millions of views per people probably thought that was Photoshop too come on man doc should have let you shoot threes man doc my junk video is actually I believe I believe it yours were real all right last up y’all have you you checked the ESPN bet odds lately the Thunder they Leap Frog the Denver Nuggets they have the best odds to win the Western Conference so chop or drop it Mark Oklahoma city has the best chance they are the best team in the west here uh chop it all right they’ve made some great moves um Caruso obviously what has Denver done got DeAndre Jordan back it’s been really really quiet lot of pressure on Calvin boo I like this because if you go just by the standings yes OKC is you know they finished number one in the west and they added key pieces their big question mark was who would be that guy to bolster alongside ch homr the paint protect the paint they added some protection there with Isaiah hardenstein and overall they got the guy that everyone wanted Alex Caruso yes that competitive guy that can help you win games based off of how hard he plays I like it but I don’t know Malika you you tell me there’s something to me about the Timberwolves there’s something to me I know they fell short but don’t forget about like the yeah the Nuggets or who no the Nuggets I’m a little bit concerned about I think that they have let a lot of pieces go here I I think that the Timberwolves are going to come back and try to avenge farther than they were last season technically they were farther than the thunder right but I think that Oklahoma City I I think that they had they addressed the exact needs that they needed to this off season and largely we’re seeing the Timberwolves sort of run it back what do you think perk oh they’re the best team in the west Sam pry did his thing not thing thing this off season getting C uh Alex Caruso getting Isel Harden thing but then uh being able to sign Isaiah Joe who’s a huge part of of what they’re building over there one of the best Shooters in the game especially when he gets hot so when you look at the cord yes they still have their big three and they still have L dor who’s a a professional pest but when it comes down to one guy who I’m Who I’m looking at I’m looking at Jaylen Williams I’m looking at him to take a leap I think he’s gonna be an allar this year I think he’s going to be a 25o guy a night that’s how big big of a leap he’s going to take they’re clearly the best team in the NBA shout out to Sam prey for doing this job I’m just giv flowers to S press yeah yeah no no in the west excuse me I’m sorry I’m just giving flowers to S I’m PR because he gave me my biggest contct get bigger than you bqu get bigger than than than you thought they would all right and I got on lav I got lav and it’s stunning par that’s pretty bab still to come on our show in honor of kemell Walker announcing his retirement we’re going to run back the best step backs of all time cardiac Kemba coming your way right after [Music] [Music] [Music] this fore want told M how
