  • real or not really 2021 n b.

  • A.

  • Championship contenders with the caveat to Jay's point.

  • We have no idea when the seasons even going to start, but we don't care about that.

  • We're just gonna push right through.

  • Let's start with the Lakers.

  • I'll give you some odds on some teams that a legit chance to win.

  • The real or not real championship contenders.

  • The Lakers will start with them and plus 3 25 just to throw that number out there.

  • But just the conversation championship contenders next year.

  • Jay.

  • They are the favorites next year.

  • I would say whenever you have LeBron James, even though he'll be going in, he's actually in his 18th year right now, Um crazy that we're gonna fast forward this and they'll play again in about four or five months.

  • But still, for everything he's been through, that's the best duo in basketball, Jay said.

  • I don't need to say anything else J handling it for me.

  • All the odds provided by Caesar's by William Hill the next best odds belong to the Clippers.

  • Are they real or not?

  • Real contender in your mind?

  • Really, and I don't care what anybody says Everybody wanted to see the Lakers versus the Clippers.

  • Absolutely, absolutely.

  • And the matchup that people want to see LeBron and something that he's gonna use his motivation for next year.

  • Can he dominate that matchup between him and co?

  • I Yeah, you wanna?

  • You wanna see it?

  • Because that's what it was built for.

  • That's why they countered the Clippers and Jerry West and Doc Rivers at the time they countered with the Lakers.

  • Moves were and they went out and got PG and went out and got Kawai and thought that they were going to be the team to face the Lakers in the Western Conference final.

  • But that wasn't the case.

  • Yeah.

  • Lawrence Frank Number one Executive of the Year Rob Pelinka Sloss Rich Paul Seventh rich paul slash Rob Pelinka Whatever way you want to put it mic drop.

  • If you're the Lakers, third best odds belong to the Milwaukee Bucks.

  • Not really constructed.

  • Not really.

  • Not really not reconstruct Now, I'll tell you this.

  • Go ahead.

  • Fortuitous.

  • If the bucks find some way to get Bradley Bill Wow, if they can keep Chris Middleton Yanis Bradley Bill, then I like those odds.

  • If not.

  • I don't know if I'm rocking with it much like Jay said.

  • I don't need to say anything else I want to mention here the fourth best odds.

  • Fourth best odds.

  • This is the most intriguing team of all to me.

  • Just me, the Golden State Warriors.

  • So here's someone people don't talk about with the Golden State Warriors second pick in the draft.

  • Andrew Wiggins could they will and deal it.

  • I think they probably will.

  • So now you're looking at bringing on some kind of veteran.

  • The one thing you feel like they're missing a big heavy hit, a big somebody big, and I'll throw this out there.

  • Potentially.

  • Joel Embiid.

  • Imagine Joel Embiid If you're in Philly, if you don't choose to stay with Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, right, imagine Joel Embiid with the Golden State Warriors involved in that system with Steph, Clay and Draymond.

  • But let me ask you, this is a basketball guy, our basketball expert, obviously.

  • But Golden State has never won with a big like a in general, right?

  • They've always has been perimeter guys, and then the big has been like, Yeah, let me.

  • Where does dueling be if We're being honest.

  • Spend a lot of his time.

  • Yeah, but on the perimeter.

  • But he's not.

  • Is he efficient enough on the perimeter for the Golden State Warriors style?

  • Ah, play.

  • It's not like Kevin Durant, 7 ft with that type of efficiency.

  • I agree with you on that, but you have to get his conditioning to a point where he can play.

  • But think about the amount of shape.

  • See, I don't do.

  • But he was out.

  • That's fine.

  • He knows it.

  • But think about what he does for the Warriors.

  • Think about you can combat Anthony Davis.

  • Think about you can combat Yokich.

  • Like all the bigs markets for Portland.

  • All the bigs.

  • You can combat that now with another big instead of going small.

  • But you just before we move on real quick.

  • So if you've given that up for that one and Andrew Wiggins Doc gets Andrew Wiggins, does that fit in the Philly style of what Doctor wants to run?

  • You paid out, Horford.

  • All that money, you ain't moving that contract.

  • Now you have Horford, Ben Simmons, Andrew Wiggins.

  • You could shoot the ball from the outside.

  • The number two pick.

  • I kind of like the new, though I don't know, reminder.

  • Kishon Jail has been brought to you by straight talk wireless.

  • You need the best cover, not just football, Georgia kid, but your wireless network to straight talk Wireless gives you the same networks is big carriers for up to half the cost.

  • 45 bucks a month for 25 gigs of high speed data, then to G Savings made variously terms and conditions that straight talk dot com.

  • We should also mention our MBA draft analysts don't think this is a particularly strong draft.

  • So for most intriguing for me were the Warriors, the return of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.

  • Now, next up, I'm just gonna go in order of odds.

  • Next up.

  • Maybe the most intriguing to J.

  • The Brooklyn Nets.

  • So I've been trying to say this for from the time being it's It's Katie and Kyrie.

  • I would say they're the second best duo in the league in the league because offensively, the way they can explode, that's the word exploded the word it's either gonna explode in a good way or it's gonna explode another another way.

  • But I would have a tendency with the way that they rock out together with the style that they're gonna play with Steve Nash.

  • I'm trying to tell you all they're gonna be dangerous next year.

  • Can they coexist like that?

  • Though I think they can, because it feels like they're just gonna like it's like they're the bad boys, man.

  • And what I mean by that, the Detroit Pistons.

  • Bad boys like whatever Koss says, Kev gonna roll with and have his back.

  • Whatever Kev says Kai's gonna roll with and has their back like a nexus.

  • I mean, in fact, that is just based off the podcast like we're gonna do it our way.

  • If you don't like it, who cares?

  • We're gonna rock out.

  • I think it's gonna be so intriguing to watch the man and the talent speaks for itself.

  • Don't take me to the game.

  • We're going to games.

  • I just wanna make sure way saying courts, Are we going to games?

  • I'm just making sure it's on.

  • You last won the most intriguing.

  • We're gonna skip this teams that plus 3000.

  • But they made a huge coaching change and they have a guy that jeopardy reference the Sixers and plus 3000 with Doc Rivers.

  • Well, his name is in dock because he's in, He's in.

  • He's going now.

  • River Glenn to Dr J.

  • I think once again it depends on what kind of movies they decided to make so much money wrapped up into all those contracts.

  • But I will say this, Coach Glen Rivers.

  • If there is one person that knows how to unlock Tobias Harris, it will be.

  • It will be Glenn.

  • It looks like that one season he had when he was with the Clippers.

  • You had Tobias Harris averaging around 23 24 points a game over under how many times he's called Doc doing this season.

  • Take the over already, give you one where everyone already.

  • Yeah, he there there.

  • Really?

  • Because I believe in him as a coach in whatever moves they make, which I'm sure they're gonna make some.

  • They'll probably get over the hump, just like doctors like Doc is a coach.

  • Think about how disrespected Miami feels just got to the NBA Finals, and they're not even in its for next year.

  • Just want to give you the odds real quick.

  • They're tied with Boston and plus 1400 But you're right for a team that was a whisker away.
