  • I'll Sprinkle little stat for you guys.

  • He's nine and one of the conference finals.

  • He's been there 10 times.

  • LeBron James makes everybody around him better.

  • And when you have Darin Fox body heal Terry Taliban, I mean, white side Bagley Parker Barnes.

  • The one thing they probably don't have is a true center.

  • Um, but I'm gonna ask you this one question, I'll hang up and listen.

  • If LeBron James is 67 or eight seed and they're underdogs going into round one, tell me who you're betting on.

  • Be honest with yourself.

  • Are you taking LeBron James, the Sacramento Kings and that'll just parlay into the next round anyway.

  • So thanks for having me on and have a good day.

  • Go ahead, J.

  • I don't know if if the Lakers or the Clippers are the number one seed.

  • I don't know if I'm taking LeBron James in the Sacramento Kings over the Clippers.

  • I mean, I'm thinking about it.

  • I'm thinking about it but I also know the path that they would have to go through in order to get there.

  • That Zaveri tough challenge for LeBron James with that current construction of that roster to go against the Claw and Kawhi Leonard, Now I think that LeBron James will be able to make the playoffs.

  • I think they're that talented look.

  • I love buddy heeled.

  • He's a stud, Dear Inbox is a stud.

  • These air young pups, though, and this organization has a long way to go.

  • I'm not saying they couldn't surround him with the pieces to do so, but I also want to make sure you go back to the current question.

  • If you were to drop LeBron James on this current roster right now with the contend for an NBA championship and my answer would be no, because I don't think they will be able to get through the first round if they met the Clippers in the first.

  • So we're not making any changes.

  • They just rolling right through the entire way For the next 2.5 months.

  • They're just gonna roll right through right?

  • There's no trade deadline.

  • There's no acquiring of players.

  • There's none of that is what you're saying, J Okay, well, now you're getting into, Ah, Siris of hypotheticals, right?

  • And we talk about the NFL.

  • You hate talking about.

  • I'm asking you, I wanna be clear, that's all.

  • I mean, I guess I mean that I don't really know what other I'm sure we could give a list of other things that the Kings could do that probably become a contender and would probably ultimately changed my opinion.

  • But with the way their current roster is right now, I wouldn't see them being a content.

  • And the reason and the reason I even brought that up is because we know when you when you are on a team with LeBron James and you wanna make tweaks, you go out and acquire players like they did at the end of last season when they needed to add some people and bring them into the bubble to make a run or whatever it was, whether it was, uh, Morris or whoever else they picked up.

  • I mean, you just gotta That's why I'm asking you because I'm like, you know, will they go with this young nucleus and compete?

  • Yes.

  • Can they compete for a championship without making a tweak or two, I don't know, but it changes the landscape of who the Sacramento Kings are when you drop him in the center of that team.

  • But LeBron on any team and the King is bringing the richest home.

  • Many teams, in my opinion.

  • There you go.

  • What?

  • There you go.

  • No, you can't just put LeBron James on any team and they're bringing the Richard, so they know they may not win the championship.

  • But I promise you, in Vegas is you like to gamble.

  • Vegas odds Air going up in that teams favorite.

  • All right, put LeBron James in the Detroit Pistons.

  • Man, I don't It's LeBron man.

  • Just keep fighting.

  • It's LeBron.

  • It's LeBron.

  • Yes, you would actually make the Kings of title contender.

  • Um, I think he's LeBron is the greatest player of all time because his versatility, he could do so many things to make that team better.

  • And I think, really outside of a d.

  • Look, Sacramento Kings is a more talented team than the Lakers and money team that LeBron has been on and let the title continue.
