Chapter 2: What does Nick Wright say about the Thunder's dynasty status?
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox Sports Radio. He's Nick Wright, host of First Things First on Fox Sports 1, What's Right with Nick Wright on YouTube, and wherever you get your podcasts, and host of No Gamble, No Future for Poker Go. How are you? Great to see you. Great to see you. I have a message I have to convey. Okay. I got this text seven minutes ago.
I'm going to edit it for clarity and language. I effin' love Dan P. I see you're about to bless him. That's too bleepin' dope, first of all. Second of all, I love how you appear on shows. I'll skip that part. Let Fritzy know I'ma definitely have to go bar for bar with him one day. I feel like we would spend a lot of time saying, guess who that's from.
So do you want to guess, or should I just reveal it? I think this will be absolutely thrilling for Fritzie, and I think you will be pleased as well, Dan Patrick. All right. Todd, would you like to guess who would like to sing with you or against you?
Frank Caliendo.
No, Frank Caliendo is not the answer. Todd, that was terrible. Katy Perry. You think Katy Perry is texting me?
Yes, why not?
Let me tell you this. Katy Perry is much closer in fame and profession than Caliendo. That's a clue.
Okay.
Any other guesses, or should I just reveal it?

Chapter 3: What are Lane Kiffin's comments about Ole Miss and LSU?
Paul?
Kenny Chesney.
Okay. We're getting colder. Again, you've got to keep in mind this is someone that I have a personal relationship with. I'm going to give you one more clue. Okay. I hugged this person in the last 72 hours. Okay. Kanye West. No, and, you know, if I was hugging Kanye, that would probably be something I wouldn't talk about publicly. But you are getting very warm now. Okay. Dylan? Jay-Z. Ooh.
Very close. Should I just reveal it? Marvin? The person. Wait a minute. Hold on. Let Marvin. We'll go around the infield. Nas? No. You know, I'm not quite... Nah, it's a little too old, maybe. Not just for me to have the personal relationship. This also has revealed you guys don't follow me on Instagram, I guess. That's fine.
Chapter 4: Why does Ryan McGee think Kiffin's comments are unnecessary?
No problem. Huge fan of Dan Patrick. person that wants to go bar for bar with Fritzy, my dear friend, the greatest rapper alive, Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne, okay. Lil Wayne. Maybe he wants to stop by the man cave sometime when he's out east. Come see you guys. So I thought you'd like to hear that, Dan. Yeah, Lil Wayne, Big Fritzy, going toe-to-toe.
That's pretty awesome. That's not necessary, though. All you had to say was Lil Wayne and Fritzy.
Okay, we can get to the regularly scheduled programming. I just wanted to pass that along. All right, let me start with what's more interesting, the Lakers moving forward or LeBron moving forward? LeBron moving forward. The Lakers, listen, I think the Lakers blew it. I think that when Luka's Lakers tenure is over,
there is a greater than 50% chance that the best teammate he ever had was age 40 and age 41 LeBron James. And because the Lakers, for the last four years, have been seemingly annoyed at LeBron's refusal to fall off a cliff athletically and as a basketball player, that they have just been like, well, we'll address the team after LeBron. We'll address the team after LeBron.
They were like, well, you can't expect us to have a team ready made for Luka. We didn't expect to get Luka, except for the fact the exact type of players you need to put around Luka, you need to put around LeBron. Luka modeled his game after LeBron.
This year, listen, they got unlucky with injury, but when you have two guys suffer those types of soft tissue injuries, does that maybe not happen if you have a deeper, younger, more athletic roster around them this year? Last year, once they got Luka, they sat on their hands.
I think that, and you know how much I love Luka, but I think the Lakers might be stuck a bit in what all of a sudden looks like such a deep and athletic Western Conference. Meanwhile, LeBron has some really interesting options on his hands. Maybe he stays in LA.

Chapter 5: What is Reggie Miller's opinion on the NBA's decision regarding Wemby?
I hope he doesn't. I hope he doesn't because I don't think that team has been particularly well run, but also because... I want to see the version of LeBron we got to see in the playoffs at the end of his career, hand on the joystick, even if he needs to have another alpha scorer around him, like a Jalen Brunson or like a Donovan Mitchell.
But I don't... Third option, Swiss Army Knife LeBron, I... he's too good for that role. He took that role on, Dan, because he can do that, and Luke and Austin couldn't, but that's not how I want to see it end for him. Okay, but if you're going to place him... Outside of the Lakers. Cleveland. Harden gone him there. That's it. That's it.
Like, yeah, I mean, listen, the Knicks maybe, but the Knicks might be, I mean, are the Knicks the greatest team ever? They have been for two weeks, so I don't know. But I just, the exact thing that the Cavs, in my opinion, foolishly brought James Harden in to be, second best player, offensive initiator, LeBron can do that without melting down twice a series in the playoffs. And while they're...
They play different aesthetically. Donovan Mitchell can do the exact Kyrie Irving stuff and Dwayne Wade stuff that LeBron is, you know, a high-volume, really good scorer alongside Bron, and then you have Allen and Mobley as really good, you know, rim protection.
Like, that team makes a lot of sense, and I don't think the Cavs are going to beat Detroit, so it'll just be another year without making the conference finals without LeBron on the roster. You brought up Jalen Brown. Did I say Brown? I meant Jalen Brunson. I'm sorry. If I said Jalen Brown, I apologize. I think it's Knicks or Cavs.
There is a very weird, not weird, but interesting Nuggets thing because Bron is so tight with Stan Kroenke's son, Josh Kroenke, the owner of the Nuggets, Jared Dudley, who's another one of LeBron's guys on the coaching staff. He is exactly like...
If the Nuggets really are just going to try to turn the offensive engine all the way up, LeBron taking a little bit off Joker's plate and being Jamal Murray's the scorer, Joker's the do-it-all guy, that one's interesting, but I just don't think that's likely. I think it's probably Lakers, Cleveland, or New York with a tiny chance Golden State, but I think tiny chance.

Chapter 6: What does Reggie Miller say about Jalen Brunson vs. Donovan Mitchell?
Also, you've got to factor in new management ownership with the Lakers, with the Dodgers and their approach to things. Does that change the Lakers' approach moving forward with spending money? So I think it will, but I just don't think those... Listen, I believe Braun's going to play two more years.
I think he's going to put in a smooth quarter century in the NBA and have that be the final piece of, I've given more to this game than anyone could have ever fathomed giving. So I just don't know if those types of changes... impact that quickly on that short of a timeline. Can I ask you... I'm going to be very sincere for a moment. Can I ask you a question? Sure.
So I don't know if you listened to LeBron's whole press conference last night after the game or this morning, but he just kept talking about how he'll never... his love of the process of getting to the stadium five hours before the game, getting to the stadium three hours before practice.
And he was talking about that in the context of he'll know when it's time to retire when he no longer loved doing that. So this is where, you know, I'm just really actually curious about that. I think the audience will like it. I apologize for putting you on the spot here. As you've had this 50 year, 45 plus year broadcasting career,
Is one of the reasons you have shifted from different types of broadcasting because the process and the prep and the things that go into the other jobs no longer felt fulfilling to you and it's just like this radio show, this thing is the thing that you still get super excited for? Because I heard him and I thought of you and it wasn't just because I was coming on the show today.
I like the grind. I like the daily. I like, you know, I come in on Saturday and Sunday when we're not even on the air. And I just I like that you just start something. What are we going to do with it? Who are we going to have on? What are the topics? It's three hours. And then you go home and then you start thinking about it again so that. That every day is what always attracted me.
I could never be a seasonal broadcaster where that's my sport and then I'm off. It has to be every single day.

Chapter 7: How does the conversation shift to the Lakers and LeBron's future?
And did you ā like, do you find ā because that's the part I thought, and I thought I was like, man, I bet ā I bet Dan's not just mailing in shows. It's not like, all right, listen, we all have rough days.
I'm not saying we're all 100%, but that one of the reasons you've done it for so long and still been into it is because you're not just flipping on the microphone and having Paulie tell you what's on the docket. You're still your version of showing up to the stadium five hours beforehand. And so I heard him talking about it, and I thought of you, and I wanted to ask you that.
I apologize if that's weird. No, no, because I think people are curious that, you know, what are you getting out of it, not getting out of this? Why don't you want to continue? And I think my biggest fear is to not be great at the very end. If anything, we're more aggressive with these last two years than I've ever been with this show of what we're doing, where we're going.
And, you know, I said I want to go out that way. I want to make sure that nobody thinks you're just kind of showing up because then, like, that would be the ultimate criticism, that it doesn't feel like you care as much, probably care more and more.
And, you know, I think if it doesn't show on me or sound on me, then it doesn't, you know, kind of trickle down to the Danettes where they need to know I'm excited. They need to know I'm happy about something aggressive. fun, all of that. And I told them the last two years, it must be fun. We must have fun. And that's all I asked them to do. And I'm sure LeBron wants that.
You want to go into an environment that is fun, not, hey, I'm just picking up a paycheck. So that's, to turn it back a bit, that is, I think, the best thing the Lakers have going for them is Bronny's going to be a part of the rotation next year. And I think J.J. Redick did an awesome job this year and this postseason. I think he deserves a lot of credit. Yeah, I do too.
I think one of his only postseason missteps was once Austin came back, those beginning of the second quarter minutes Bronny was getting went to zero, which totally makes sense because of where he is in the hierarchy. What I think J.J. didn't do the math on is I think you were those four to six minutes a game getting

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the Lakers' management changes?
not only peak focus but a momentarily rejuvenated lebron within kind of the the toughest spot of games to stay into it you know where he's tired but it's not clutch crunch time yet because of the excitement of playing with his son and i think he also His focus is always great, but I think it was extra hyper of like, man, if Bronny makes a mistake, I got to fix it.
And I think that's just not there for Jake LaRavia. And so it wouldn't have changed this series, but that's one thing I kind of wish they had back. Why do you think Steve Kerr came back to coach the Warriors? I'm sure you know Steve. I don't know Steve at all. So this is blind speculation. My gut is, felt like he owed it to Steph.
I mean, $20 million is probably nice or whatever they're paying him. But my gut is he said, I'm going to try to have Steph and I go out together. That's what I would imagine is the case. You mentioned maybe a small chance LeBron would go to the Warriors. I like that idea. I don't know what they're going to do with Jimmy Butler. Like, Durant's not going to last in Houston, right? You think?
They seem awful happy. Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't... If David Stern were still around, rest in peace, I feel like he'd hold a press conference and be like, hey, by the way, funny thing.
new uh new rules for this year uh if you're over 36 your contract doesn't count against the cap and you know do with that what you will but if that means Durant and Steph and Kawhi and LeBron all end up on one team and it's a traveling road show and they try to take on the the mechanical but totally vanilla Oklahoma City Thunder it's probably not bad for business boys
I'm trying to think how OKC gets into the conversation of great team of all time. What would they have to do where you go, okay, we can kind of put their... Three in a row. Three in a row, okay. Because I think three in a row in... So this is something that I think is underrated, which is... There is a direct line of history on how many championships can be won by a team or by a player.
So if we just go through Russell era, what's the max? Well, I guess it's 11. In the 60s, 60s to 70s, what's the max? Havlicek, eight. Okay, 70s to 80s, what's the max? Kareem, six. 80s to 90s, what's the max? Jordan, six. 90s to 2000s, what's the max? Shaq, or I'm sorry, Kobe Duncan, five. 2000s to 2010s, what's the max? Bron Steph, four. 2020s, nobody's got more than one.
Like everybody, and so as the league has gotten deeper and harder, like what the maximum realistic championships could be won is going down. Also, we haven't had anyone go back-to-back in a decade.
So if OKC all of a sudden not only goes back-to-back but wins three in a row when we haven't had that in a quarter century, I think it will be undeniable that they're just one of the greatest, one of the most well-put-together teams ever and one of the greatest teams ever. Unfortunately, they're not going to because this year we all know the Timberwolves are going to win, so I can hit that bet.
