Daryl Morey is playing with house money and the Jimmy Butler pursuit is his ultimate move

It's almost like he's playing with house money at this point, and Jimmy Butler, J-Butt, is the ultimate house money move.

Morey's tenure ended in 2020 without a title, suggesting the 'house money' risks didn't fully pay off for the Rockets.

Jimmy Butler going to the Rockets would be healthy because he would blow everything up immediately

Jimmy Butler gets in, and he just blows everything up. I think that's way more entertaining and, frankly, more healthy [than the Rockets' current passive-aggressive state].

Butler never signed with the Rockets, so the impact cannot be verified.

The Lakers are going to win the title next year

Hank, I told you this, the minute that Klay Thompson tore his ACL, you told me to chill. The Lakers are going to win the title. Chill. Okay. All right...

The Lakers won the 2020 NBA Championship in the Bubble.

LeBron James giving Anthony Davis his number 23 jersey means it is now Davis' team

I think that means that this is Anthony Davis' team though. I think it does. If we're talking Batman and Robin, the Batman definitely wears number 23.

This is subjective but leans incorrect as LeBron remained the primary leader and Finals MVP in 2020.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
