Chapter 2: What did the Spurs achieve in their latest game?
I'm like, okay. I don't know if it's pennies on the dollar that you're going to get Joel Embiid. Sabonis is a really good player. He battled injuries, but he's going to give you 20 and 10, probably six assists. And he certainly, well, I would hope healthier than Joel. I'm healthier than Joel Embiid. Yes, Marvin.
Why would anyone want Joel Embiid?
Unless you don't want Sabonis. So I don't know the back story with Sabonis as to what happened in Sacramento other than I know that he had a lot of injuries. Yes, Mark. And B, he won't even help with ticket sales because you don't know whether or not he's going to play. Well, that'll be the big tease.
Chapter 3: How has Victor Wembanyama performed this season?
Hey, come out and see. The big tease? Yes. Oh. Oh. That's going to stick. Yeah, come out. He's the big tease. You're not sure. I dated somebody named the big tease. Teasey does it.
Yeah, Paul. If the Kings have a good player, they'll probably trade them. That's true. Historically. Yeah, that's true.
But you're going to hear a lot of this, Giannis, where would Giannis go? Could Giannis go to Golden State? Could Giannis go to the Celtics? Felt like that's where he was headed a couple of years ago, that could you trade Giannis for Jalen Brown? Jalen Brown gets his own team. Be careful what you ask for. But if I'm Milwaukee, would you do that? And the answer would be yes.
If I'm Boston, would I do that? They should still be playing. They were up 3-1. This isn't one of those OKC situations when you're up 3-1 on Golden State and then you lose and then Kevin Durant goes to Golden State.
Chapter 4: How does the Spurs' roster compare to the Oklahoma City Thunder?
I wouldn't panic unless I thought that these two didn't necessarily get along. And then you're going to bring in Giannis? OK. But you're going to hear a lot of things. There might not be reports as much as you're going to hear what about. Like Kevin Durant. Well, what about going to Golden State? Back to Golden State. Because it feels like his days in Houston are done. Yes, Marvin?
I'm always flabbergasted by this Boston Celtics trade rumors with Tatum and Brown because it's been working. They've gone to a finals. They've won a championship. Is it just ego-based?
Almost like the Kobe and Shaq situation. But I've never heard anything about that. Me neither. So that's why I wouldn't panic if you're spending a lot of money on them and you're going to have them under contract. It's hard to get two great players, and they are. And Jalen Brown was a MVP candidate this year in what we thought was a gap year for this team. That's why I wouldn't panic on this.
Now, I might look at moving some other pieces, Derek White maybe, but then how much do you really need to do? Like when you're healthy, you're probably still the best team in the East. Tatum didn't play in Game 7. That's why I don't know. Look, I love to see movement. I like to see change with some of these players. Get Giannis out of Milwaukee, put him on a team, give him a different look.
Maybe he gets a chance to play for a title. If Jalen Brown wants to have his own team, okay, here's your own team. Ask James Harden how that worked when he left to go to Houston.

Chapter 5: What does the Spurs' future look like with their current roster?
So you're going to hear a lot of NBA stuff, and it feels like these are just, let me throw it against the wall and see. I had no information that Sacramento would be interested in Joel Embiid or that that's a possibility, but I did mention that, okay, maybe something like that. And then all of a sudden it's like, you know, I could see some bonus for Joe LNB.
I don't know how the numbers match up. I don't play the salary cap game because it has to do with math. And Paulie promised there'd be no math on this show. Nope. But any other poll questions? Yes, Dylan. I was going to say, was that part of the process, play 50% of your games and then get shipped off to Sacramento? Yeah. Not great. Yeah. Yeah, Marv.
Joel Embiid, he's the only MVP to never play in a conference finals.
Whoa!
That's not a stat that you want. Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program. Here's another thing to keep an eye out on with the Detroit series. If you are indeed watching this, Jalen Duren during the regular season was great. Almost 20 and 10. Average 19 and a half and 10 and a half rebounds.
He has five single digit scoring nights so far in 11 playoff games. Evan Mobley, Jared Allen, very good defenders. But if you want a max contract, oh, boy. When your backup, Paul Reed, is outplaying you, that doesn't bode well for Jalen Duren to get a big-time contract here. All of a sudden, it's, hey, I'm averaging 20 and 10, and we're in the playoffs in the number one seed. I'm an all-star.
Everything's great. And then all of a sudden, it's like... Wait, what happened to the max contract I was supposed to get? So keep an eye on that if you're watching the game tonight. Yeah, Paul?
I'm looking back at the 76ers draft history. It's fascinating. Remember 2013, Michael Carter Williams of Syracuse? Yeah. He looked like he was going to be a thing for a while. He couldn't shoot. No, but he looked like one of those Rondo-type players. Then they get Embiid. Starts slow, becomes great. Then with a third pick in 15, they get Jalil Okafor, who everybody loved coming out.
Didn't work out. Ben Simmons in 16. Markel Fultz in 17. Oh, man. It gets better because Tyrese Maxey and now Edgecombe. Man, that's a tough run.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Daryl Morey's firing for the 76ers?
No, I didn't. I showed up in basketball warm-ups. Like, I mean, what a mess. To impress her? I just would get up and then brush my teeth, and then I would just put on warm-ups and go. And then I would get there. Not good. Bad hair, acne, skinny. Didn't even have this voice back then. That would have helped a little bit. Yes, Mark. Did Dylan say hungover on a Wednesday?
Yeah, that's tough.
Yeah. Friday would have been a different story because Thursday night, thirsty Thursdays?
Yeah.
All right, turn up.
I made sure to never take a Friday class. So I only had Monday through Thursday, and even that was a bit of a stretch. Yes, Todd.
That's an interesting description, an academic walk of shame. Usually that's used in some other realm, but that's fascinating. They like to feel like a little embarrassed that I'm going over to the basketball court.
Thank you, Todd. Well, when you're easily manipulated, like someone just has to go, hey, you want to get a beer?
And you're like, all right, only one. It's a Tuesday. And then all of a sudden, you're not in class.
