00:00I heard the morning show asked Slater that, and he said, uh, Slate, he said cominga, because
00:07he's, he's the only, like, he's playing for a contract.
00:10Everybody else is signed, sealed and delivered.
00:12So the, but wouldn't that, and I love the answer, but wouldn't that naturally take it
00:15up with Slater?
00:16No.
00:17Cause of the contract.
00:18Like, yes, that's why you answered that.
00:21But it's, yeah, that's like, I'm going politics.
00:23That's a landslide because of his contract situation.
00:26Well, I, I actually, cause I asked you yesterday real quick.
00:30We love Slater.
00:31I think it's Kerr.
00:32Is he playing for a contract in these 27 games?
00:34Cominga.
00:35I actually think it's Kerr.
00:36It is.
00:37I believe so too.
00:38But you said cominga in a landslide.
00:39No, that, hold on.
00:40I do think it's interesting how, cause you can hear it from some of the callers.
00:46They do exactly what we do, which is we talk bold and brash outside the studio and we get
00:52on the air.
00:53See, that hurts.
00:54And we're gutless.
00:55No, I go in.
00:56Well, well, I was using the, my man, I was using, and I'm not going to hold the players
01:01accountable.
01:02You know what?
01:03Grab the next one, Stony.
01:04Well, I just think it's interesting how the, you can hear the, you can hear the politician
01:07in everyone's voice when they call in and you know, they really want to say something,
01:12but they're respectful.
01:14They understand that this is a, you know, a quality program and they don't want to be
01:19the ones to ruin the mood.
01:21Yeah.
01:22No, they're very responsible.
01:23Great listeners.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Respond.
01:26Let me explain what you meant.
01:27All right.
01:28No, I don't like that.
01:29Let me be Willard.
01:30Yeah.
01:31Here's what you're really meant to say.
01:32Will!
01:33You meant to say, uh, Kaminga is probably the obvious answer, but after that, I think
01:40it's Kerr.
01:41Right?
01:42No, that's not what I said.
01:43I love you for doing the Willard, but my point is if you talk about the Warriors future and
01:49you do it a lot, Jonathan Kaminga to me is your future.
01:53So that supersedes what I think these next 27 games are going to be for Kaminga in regard
01:59to the impact on him staying or going.
02:01I think Lacob, that's his guy, Stiney.
02:04I think that contract and now the chicken, I don't know how much, but I think he wants
02:08to be here and they want him.
02:10But with that said, it's on Kerr and let's put the right on the table brought to you
02:13by Echo, Stiney.
02:15Is he coming off the bench or Moody?
02:17Does he get lost on TJD?
02:20Does he reemerge?
02:21You know, there is some pressure to Kerr because now I feel like Stiney, when it's all said
02:25and done, let's just say, you know, oh my gosh, Stiney, somehow it doesn't work and
02:31they don't make the playoffs.
02:32People are going to call and rip Kerr.
02:34They already do it when he wins.
02:36Oh, this should have been, it should have been this way or that way.
02:38So I don't think he's it.
02:40You know what?
02:41He can't even win.
02:42Well, I always think pressure is kind of funny because I don't really think these guys feel
02:46pressure.
02:47Like Steve Kerr doesn't feel pressure.
02:49We had to go 20-7.
02:50Otherwise, we're not going to make it.
02:51And then if we don't make it, what?
02:52He's just going to do the best he can.
02:54Hmm.
02:55But I mean, Draymond felt a lot of pressure, clearly, in that skills challenge on Saturday.
02:59Dude, that was, we didn't, Dre, we love you, baby.
03:02You still were the star.
03:03I actually, I didn't get it in the hole.
03:04Three passes.
03:05I didn't watch.
03:06Oh, come on.
03:07Stiney, he can pass, but it didn't go in.
03:08Okay.
03:09I was shocked.
03:10Then he had to hit a three.
03:11Oh, boy.
03:12Oh, boy.
03:13Oh, boy.
03:14Oh, boy.
03:15Oh, boy.
03:16Oh, boy.
03:17Oh, boy.
03:18Oh, boy.
03:19Oh, boy.
03:20Oh, boy.
03:21I actually do think it's, a lot of this is on Steve Kerr.
03:22I'm with you.
03:23Because he's got to figure it out, fast.
03:27Exactly.
03:28Let's go to, oh, Antonio in Oakland.
03:31Oh, here we go.
03:32What's up, Antonio?
03:33Watch out.
03:34How you doing?
03:35You got this one for a egg?
03:36You got.
03:37You go ahead.
03:38Okay.
03:39I did the last one.
03:40What's up, Antonio?
03:41Hey, what's up y'all?
03:42I'm talking about the Warriors.
03:43You want to talk about the Warriors?
03:44All right.
03:45You want to talk about the Warriors?
03:46The done.
03:47Let me think, the Warriors, okay.
03:54Tell me, what do you think the Warriors are, what's the goal of the Golden State Warriors
03:59for the rest of this season?
04:00Where do they want to get up to if they can, and what's realistic and what's not?
04:06You know, I think they can have a chance to at least go to the Conference Finals, man,
04:10but I'll be honest.
04:11Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey, hey, I didn't ask, I asked you where they needed to finish.
04:16You jumped to the Conference Finals already.
04:18See?
04:19They got to make the playoffs first.
04:21Okay, yeah, they got to make the playoffs, they got to win games, they got to, you know,
04:26they got to keep on winning, because we can be 4-0 right now on Jimmy Butler, man, like,
04:29he's really added another element to us, so, at the end of the day, please get that 6th
04:33seed, you know, we can beat like the 95 Rockets, you know, win a championship like that, that
04:37is my opinion, I think we can do it, but all the pressure is on Steve Kerr, man, because,
04:40you know, he got to get us out of this rut, man, because now you got another future All-American
04:44with Gene Butler right here and there, and, you know, you got some emerging young players,
04:48Kaminga, Moody, Pawlinski, so, now's the time, man, we got to get Steph Nutt number five,
04:53like Kobe, like a magic, you know, like Tim Duncan, guys like that, we got to get him
04:56the one for the thumb.
04:57Yeah, look at him.
04:58Let me, let me, let me quick follow up with you, Antonio, through four games, I mean,
05:04it looks like Jimmy Butler is the real deal.
05:07It looks like Jimmy Butler was the guy they maybe wanted all along, like, he's fitting
05:12like a glove.
05:14So my question is, what's the biggest bullet the Warriors have dodged with the signing
05:23of Jimmy Butler?
05:25Uh, shoot, probably, like, getting, like, another player, maybe like a, like a Paul
05:32George, like, I think Jimmy Butler's just the right fit, man, we could've got a Zion,
05:35you know, these injury players, like, I don't want that Jimmy Butler, yeah, he's got injuries,
05:38everybody gets injuries, though, but like I said, man, we got this missing piece, this
05:42is going to be like how when the Niners got Emmanuel Sanders and went to the Super Bowl,
05:45you know, hopefully nobody doesn't throw it over James Butler's head, but I think he's
05:48a missing piece, man, we can go all the way.
05:50Denver, I don't fear them, but, you know, they're kind of the only team in the West
05:53that I think, you know, we can be, and we can't be, but, you know, I think we got a
05:5650-50 chance, so I think we can do it, man.
05:59Steph Curry, you have another ball, super, you know, tremendous postseason, Kaminga,
06:03Butler, they ain't going to stop that triple threat, Westbrook going to shoot nothing but
06:06bricks.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Oh, you're thinking Denver.
06:09Oh, yeah.
06:10Thanks, Antonio.
06:11I just woke up to a text from your guy, Silk Basie, said, Guru, tell Stiney, it was to
06:16you, Denver is a problem, and they are, Jamal Murray is back, are healthy.
06:21I'm just saying.
06:22Yeah, they're, they're, they're darn good.
06:25Mm-hmm.
06:26Evan.
06:27Nine in a row.
06:28Evan threw that one at me.
06:29We can, we can, I'll throw that at some people, too, so, you know, it was a good point.
06:34Like it's hard to imagine the Warriors acquiring anybody that we were talking about that was
06:42going to fit better than Butler, looks like he's fitting right now.
06:45And so Evan goes, you know, Butler, assuming Butler is the right guy, and they found the
06:52right guy, what's the biggest bullet the Warriors dodged then?
06:58And my, I was with Antonio, I said Paul George, I said they dodged the bullet with Paul George.
07:04Can I add marketing?
07:06You can add marketing.
07:07Okay.
07:08I'm going to go to our main man, Evan, because his surprised me.
07:12His surprised me.
07:14So Jimmy Butler looks like the right guy, Evan, how would you answer that question?
07:21What's the biggest bullet the Warriors dodged, if that's the case?
07:24Well, I was planning on saving it for Warriors this week, 9 and noon, every single Saturday
07:27about 5, 7, 8.
07:28Oh, but did he, whoa.
07:29Big time diss.
07:30No.
07:31No, I, what we were talking about before the show, I think the biggest bullet they dodged
07:34was Klay not taking the two for 48 that they offered him a couple of years ago.
07:39Interesting.
07:40But don't you still really have Klay though, Evan, with Buddy Heald?
07:45Yeah, for $8 million, not for $20 million.
07:49And then follow the money you got me.
07:51Well, you don't have someone in the locker room that's, that needs to be taken care of.
07:56You might not have Jimmy Butler either, right?
07:59Yeah, I don't, I think the domino effect to keep the big three together.
08:03I mean, it's, yeah, it's a little down the rabbit hole, but.
08:06That reminds me of, remember when, what, another one worked to the, two of those have worked
08:12to the Warriors' advantage.
08:13When Klay said no to two years for $48 million, and when Harrison Barnes turned down $64 million
08:20over four years, that gave him, that gave him the window into Kevin Durant, gave him
08:26that window.
08:27888-957-9570, you're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGM's the FM at HD1 San Francisco, always
08:35live on the free Odyssey app, Twitch and YouTube, powered by First NorCal Credit Union.
08:41Let's go out to Al in San Pablo.
08:44Okay, Al.
08:45What's up, Al?
08:46How you doing, man?
08:47I'm doing well.
08:48I want to talk about the Warriors.
08:50Alright.
08:51You got one for Al?
08:52Yeah, I do have one.
08:53You got one for Al?
08:54Al, you ready?
08:55I'm ready.
08:56I'm ready.
08:57Alright, since we're talking Buddy Heald, will he snap out of his season-long slump?
09:05That's a great question.
09:06Correct him if you have to.
09:09That's a great question.
09:10I have no idea.
09:11He has been so inconsistent.
09:12I haven't seen any signs that he can make a three-pointer with somebody guarding him.
09:21The All-Star game he did good, nobody was guarding him.
09:25Well, here's what I would have preferred.
09:29And I robbed him.
09:30He got off to a good start, but go ahead.
09:32His numbers are where they're normally at.
09:35Alright.
09:36Thanks a lot, Al.
09:37Appreciate it.
09:38Yeah, I would...
09:39That's fine.
09:40Like, I would have challenged you right off the bat.
09:43And what would you have said?
09:44I would have said, dude, he was shooting 47% through the first 15 games.
09:48But when I did that last year with Clay, you didn't like it.
09:51You went about, forget the, you know what it is, the numbers.
09:55Last year, first of all.
09:56Alright, Stiney, that's pressure for Kerr.
09:59Do you forget about him?
10:00They can't.
10:01And they can't.
10:02They can't forget about him.
10:03Well, that bodes well for Buddy.
10:04He's just got to do his part then.
10:06But let's be honest, Stiney.
10:07The right on the table is, you've lost the opportunity to start.
10:11Kerr wanted you to start because of what you just said, the spacing.
10:15And because you're not on, and you can't get hot, P.O.D.S. has re-emerged now.
10:20And I don't see that going the other way.
10:23So, man, Buddy, you've got to get going.
10:25Hopefully it starts tonight at your own stomping grounds.
10:28I was saying this today, too.
10:30Just, you know, talking about Paul George.
10:34And we've got our guy, K.C., in 15 minutes.
10:36Yeah, 15 minutes.
10:37Yeah, K. diddy.
10:38Kenny Carraway, D. Lowe, and K.C. will talk about the Sacramento Kings.
10:45Oh, Paul George.
10:46You know, he's taking like pain injections and beads.
10:50He, let me explain this to you.
10:55The foundation of all my warrior takes, in a way.
11:00Okay.
11:01The foundation.
11:02Hey, I'm playing.
11:04Go ahead, Stiney.
11:06Go on, play it.
11:09Nicky.
11:10The thing that I'm so scared of, it's my sports nightmare.
11:17It's my basketball nightmare.
11:19It drives my thinking about the Warriors, and it's this.
11:25The Philadelphia 76ers.
11:28They are shot.
11:30Yeah.
11:31They are shot, ladies and gentlemen.
11:35And that's like, and I'm not saying it's going to happen with the Warriors,
11:38but that's the scenario that I.
11:41That's your nightmare.
11:42Yes, that is my nightmare.
11:43Can you imagine being a Philadelphia 76ers fan?
11:46Paul George has played half the season and beads played 18 games.
11:51His career could be in danger.
11:52He's got to have surgery in the offseason.
11:54He said that, and I don't think they, whatever I was talking about,
11:56I don't think they wanted him to say that.
11:57He said that's imminent.
11:59But how about this?
12:01How much of this is bad luck too, though, Stiney?
12:03Well, I don't think a lot of it.
12:05Mike Embiid had no business, and we knew it before the Olympics started.
12:09He had, he was the last person that should have been playing.
12:14Just from a Sixers standpoint,
12:16we got everything we have invested in you,
12:19and now he looks like Fred Sanford.
12:22Like Stiney, I don't know if he can come back.
12:24Did you say, should this have been expected?
12:28Or is this bad luck?
12:29Have you followed Joel Embiid's career?
12:31He missed the first two years of his career
12:34because he couldn't play.
12:36He's never been healthy.
12:39But now this is getting to a point to where
12:42his career could be in jeopardy, man.
12:45It's one of those.
12:46And as for Paul George,
12:48I mean, that's what I'm worried about
12:51with a guy like Butler, Draymond, or possibly Steph.
12:55Where did you get these taking the pain?
12:57I didn't know that.
12:58On the internet.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Somebody asked him, there was a report by Sham Sharania
13:04that he was taking injections for pain,
13:06and then somebody asked Paul George about it,
13:08and he said, yeah, no, that report is true.
13:11He said, I'm trying to play through it.
13:13I'm hurting, but I'm going to try to play through it.
13:17Bam.
13:18I don't know.
13:19So you would take the Suns over?
13:22I don't want either of them.
13:24But the Suns' situation is not injury-based.
13:27It's just like, what the hell is going on?
13:29Booker, Durant, Beal, when you play,
13:32what is going on?
13:33I get they don't have injections.
13:35I mean, they got Tyus Jones.
13:36What is Phoenix?
13:38The reason Philly's in a worse spot
13:40is because at least Phoenix's players are healthy.
13:42And you know what?
13:44You have a decision to make on Kevin Durant.
13:47You can make a decision on Kevin Durant,
13:49so you can go in one of two directions.
13:52You still have Devin Booker, who's what, 28?
13:55All-star?
13:56Bam.
13:57Yeah, I mean, I think Maxie's probably...
13:59Maxie's terrific.
14:00Maxie's awesome.
14:01But to your point, Kevin Durant's a player
14:03that people would actually want this summer.
14:05Have you tried to trade Joel Embiid?
14:07Have you tried to trade Paul George?
14:09I don't know how many people want him.
14:11I mean, you'd almost have to include
14:13unprotected picks.
14:15For Paul George, sure.
14:17Hey, just one word answer to you and Evan.
14:19Maxie or Booker?
14:21Yes.
14:23No, which one? Who are you taking?
14:25Maxie or Booker?
14:26Give me Maxie.
14:27Wow.
14:28Two years ago.
14:29You still thinking?
14:31I think I would take Maxie
14:32because he's like 23 or 24.
14:34He's pretty young, right?
14:36Booker's probably...
14:38Booker's great.
14:39I'm watching Booker just like,
14:40yeah, he ain't playing bad,
14:41but it ain't Booker like every night.
14:43Let's go to
14:45Caleb in Livermore.
14:47Caleb in Livermore.
14:50What's happening, guys?
14:51Happy Friday.
14:52Yeah, same to you.
14:53Sound like you're ready.
14:54Same to you.
14:55I'm always ready, girl.
14:57What team you want to talk about?
15:00It's time to switch it up, man.
15:02It's time to talk about some Niners, man.
15:04Okay, let me ask you this.
15:06Y'all ain't ready.
15:07Oh.
15:08Alright, let me just start out this way.
15:10Just to get the conversation started,
15:12Caleb,
15:13would you ever...
15:14Like, would you trade Brock Purdy
15:16for Myles Garrett?
15:21That's the most insane thing
15:23I've ever heard.
15:25No, I would not do that
15:27because respect to Myles Garrett,
15:29he's elite.
15:30He's one of the premier
15:31pass rushers in the game,
15:32but you have to have that quarterback.
15:33That's the most important position.
15:35How much you paying Purdy?
15:37That's phenomenal.
15:39Brock Purdy?
15:40I think definitely.
15:41You gotta give him around
15:4230 to 40 million for sure.
15:43Oh, you think...
15:44I mean...
15:45What makes you think he'll take that?
15:46Well, Brock Purdy's done more than two.
15:48How much is two?
15:49I'm thinking like 40?
15:5050?
15:51And more than Dak.
15:52Yeah.
15:53Yeah, he's done a lot more
15:54than a lot of guys.
15:55Dak's making 60.
15:56We got...
15:57We may have negotiation issues.
15:59Well, there you go.
16:00I think 30 to 50 million for sure.
16:02I mean, he's been to a Super Bowl,
16:03NFC Championship game.
16:05He's accomplished more than
16:06two in Dak for sure.
16:07Well, let me ask you this.
16:11I was going to ask him
16:12about Trent Williams.
16:14Bounce backs, Donnie.
16:15Redemption.
16:16You got health is wealth.
16:17You know this.
16:20You feel like he's at his...
16:21He's nowhere near
16:22in his Embiid phase.
16:23Trent Williams, you know.
16:25He's a lot older,
16:26but it's not...
16:27Trent Williams is...
16:28He should be playing
16:29for the Sixers.
16:30Trent Williams.
16:31Besides, he was all pro
16:32last three seasons, man.
16:33Not last year, he wasn't.
16:34I know, but prior to.
16:35So...
16:36And you know what?
16:37This is a one-off.
16:38Give him the BOD,
16:39the benefit of the doubt.
16:40Yeah, Trent Williams
16:41had a great college career too.
16:42Does it mean anything now?
16:43Well, he's going to get
16:44a gold jacket.
16:46Now it's just about the bling.
16:48Can he get a ring here
16:49on the red and gold?
16:50I mean...
16:55I got nothing to say.
16:56Yeah.
16:57Would Cleveland do that deal?
16:58They wouldn't.
16:59I mean, he could go
17:01and Niners could go
17:02get Aaron Rodgers,
17:03but nobody...
17:04I think he's shot.
17:05And I love birdies, Donnie,
17:06but man...
17:07And by the way...
17:08Miles Garrett with Bosa.
17:09By the way,
17:11the...
17:12That was Caleb in Livermore?
17:13Mm-hmm.
17:14What did he say?
17:15That question's ridiculous.
17:16That was from the boss.
17:17Yeah.
17:18That was one the boss gave us,
17:19so don't blame us on that one.
17:21All right, let's do one more
17:22before we get Kenny Carraway
17:24in here.
17:25Elena in Phoenix, Arizona.
17:27Hey!
17:29Hey, guys.
17:30How are you?
17:31I'm doing well.
17:32How are you?
17:33We're doing well.
17:34What team do you want to start with?
17:36Let's talk about the Warriors
17:39and maybe in comparison
17:40to the Suns.
17:41I feel like they dodged
17:42a really big bullet for me,
17:44honestly, with Paul George.
17:45Even when they went
17:47to try and acquire him
17:48in the offseason,
17:49I really didn't like it
17:50because Paul George
17:51is a very ball-dominant player.
17:54And I don't know if you guys
17:55have noticed,
17:56but very, like,
17:57ball-dominant players
17:58that don't know how to move
17:59without the ball or cut
18:00don't really work well
18:01in the Warriors' system.
18:02They look kind of clanky
18:05just like Dennis Schroeder
18:06kind of did,
18:07just like Katie did
18:08even in the beginning.
18:09I don't know if you guys remember,
18:10but he kind of struggled
18:11a little bit
18:12until he found a way
18:13to kind of move
18:14without the ball.
18:15Yeah, he did.
18:16That was kind of my opinion.
18:19Yeah, go ahead
18:20if you got more.
18:21And then that's
18:22the reason why the Suns
18:23are not working right now
18:24because they have literally
18:25three ball-dominant players.
18:27That's a good point.
18:29Yeah, every time
18:30they get the ball
18:31they just play one-on-one.
18:32And they don't play on,
18:33like, it's a five-on-five game.
18:35You can't play one-on-one
18:36every time you get the ball.
18:37So nobody gets the feel.
18:39Nobody's in rhythm.
18:41And it just kind of feels
18:42clanky and odd
18:43even though you have
18:44the talent on paper.
18:45Appreciate it, Elena.
18:46Yeah, they don't fit.
18:47They don't fit in Phoenix
18:48right now.
18:49But that, man,
18:50that shame on the
18:51front office, Donny.
18:52Oh, please.
18:53You supported
18:54everything they did.
18:55Sometimes I really
18:56don't know who you are.
18:57I'm the guy who
18:58holds your feet
18:59to the fire
19:00when you say,
19:01Kevin Durant,
19:02Beale, Booker,
19:03they're gonna win
19:04at All-Style.
19:05I did that in Brooklyn
19:06with Kyrie Dreadnought.
19:10That hurt.
19:11That hurt me.
19:12That hurt everybody.
19:15I got a question
19:16for you on the other side.
19:17You and him.
19:18We got Kenny Carroll.
19:19After we're done with him
19:20I got a question.
19:21Okay, you'll forget it
19:22though, probably.
19:23No, I'm in a zone
19:25right now.
19:26Alright.
19:27Oh, hey.
19:29Listen.
19:30Thank you, Magic.
19:31I mean, LeBron.
19:32Sorry.
19:33When did he say it?
19:34My bad.
19:35Big deal.
19:36I misspoke.
19:37That's what you guys
19:38If I had done it
19:39that's what you guys
19:40you would have
19:41made a wedding about it
19:42like yesterday
19:43when I got
19:44the lob wrong.
19:45It was a bounce pass.
19:46It was in Milwaukee.
19:47But you
19:48I get the bad news.
19:49Just have fun
19:50with it.
19:51No, no, no.
19:52His was a mistake.
19:53I simply
19:54misspoke.
19:55Big deal.
19:56Which is a mistake.
19:57No, no, no.
19:58It's got miss in front.
