Paul George is a third piece at best on a championship team

I'm doing playoff P your you're not a second dude, you're you're a third piece. I you're a third piece at best.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's hierarchy. Paul George remained a high-level starter but the 'third piece' label is a common critique of his playoff reliability.

Jimmy Butler is solidly a top 10 NBA player.

I've moved I've leveled [Jimmy Butler] up. He is solidly in the top 10. But yeah, we're I'm just waiting for Jim we respect Jay but on this podcast and Jake was was very happy with the result.

Butler's ranking is subjective, but he led the Heat to the 2020 NBA Finals and was universally regarded as a top-tier star during this period.

The Clippers cannot bring Paul George back next season after that performance.

I actually don't know how you bring playoff P back next year. I like that. Like I don't I don't know how you have what you'e just watched. Yeah and be like, let's bring back the same core and hope that it's kind of the James Harden thing.

The Clippers did bring Paul George back, and they reached the Western Conference Finals the following season (2021).

The Rams' Australia travel plan was an all-time 'fuck it' move

It was a terrible idea that Sean McVay tried to do, but I have to respect how much of an all-time fuck-it move it was to just pretend that time zones don't exist. He was just like, you know what, fuck it, we're not gonna adapt. We're gonna fly in, fly out.

The Rams lost the Australia opener after using the fly-in/fly-out approach, supporting the criticism in this game-specific judgment.

KOC will get the best out of Kyler Murray

I think that what he's gonna get the absolute best outta Kyler Murray that he possibly can at this point, which I think should be good enough to be a pretty good team this year.

Kyler Murray's 2026 season and Minnesota's performance will determine whether this forecast holds.

Jayden Daniels is going to remind everyone that the bad man is back

I think Jayden Daniels, he's as healthy as he has been since the start of last season. ... I think that he's gonna remind a lot of people who he is. Yeah. That's what I think. I think the bad man might be back.

Daniels' 2026 season will determine whether he re-established himself as an elite or feared quarterback.
