have your kids started making
their christmas lists sure
uh what month is this i know i know
that's a question yeah i think they
started you're wrong right
they're yeah yeah oh it's the last month
it's okay
and it hasn't said the summer it has
been edited
it has been edited by the way oh yeah if
you just said the summer i
believed you you know sometimes it's a
running list
uh year-round that brings me
to uh our next nba headline today
okay our favorite soap opera
uh did you see where
shams sharanya of the atletico stadium
reported
that james harden has added
the heat in the bucks to his list
of preferred trade destinations okay
you know like what dawn tell me what
what i saw this report
i'm like this is the definition of a
wish
which is a goal without a plan i mean
i know we're getting close to the
holidays michael holly
but james harden now she's making
christmas lists you know
like he's like i want the the nets i
want the sixers
i want the bucks i want the heat i want
a ps5
i want the jubilee leavens i want a
louie bag i want some honey buns
you know it's like i want a unicorn i
want a pony it's like
are you kidding me you know yeah he's
like i like to be pimped some oakland
and cowboys from arizona but
it's not halloween girl peter pan count
chocula
like what do you think this is man like
nobody cares about your wishes
nobody cares about your preferences no
see the problem is james harden and
there's another report out there i think
it's from tim mcmahon he talked to a
former rocket staffer michael
and the rocket staffer said this is the
first time james harden has been told no
so he's got to act up
it's not like a spoiled child you know
they're not going to sound like somebody
else
sound like somebody else
speaking of tyloo he wanted ty lue but
they ended up with steven silas as a
compromise
okay so he's been so he's been rejected
a couple of times by the rockets so he
and his feelings about this
and i'm like yo man you know when you
make lists of destinations
you know lists come with leverage
and yeah you're the superstar yeah
you're the face of the franchise
but most people have preferred trade
destination lists when they're free
agents
not when they sign a long-term contract
and they have two years left plus an
option or at least if you're not a free
agent you're going into your walk year
and you can exert some kind of some type
of authority i'm here to tell james
harden bro you stuck like chuck
because those contenders you want guess
what
they got to be contenders by expending
most of their assets
what do the bucks have to trade that the
rockets would want
the nets aren't going to come up with a
deal that includes kevin durant
or kyrie irving this just in breaking
news
why would the miami heat with the
cultured out that they've established
down there
why on earth with pat riley and eric
spoelstra mortgaged their future in a
potential shot at giannis attention
cumbo
in order to get james harden down to
miami
and last but not least the sixers you
talked about this yesterday
doc ain't trying to doc and daryl morgan
they're trying to get them problems
uh with their new team in a new
situation so you stuck like chuck
brother sorry to tell you
take your christmas list take your wish
list uh
and go somewhere with it you know like
we gotta we gotta grow up at a certain
point like this this is getting out of
hand for me
as you know i'm annoyed by this but
every day is something else that kind of
grinds my gears with the story
i'm gonna make this very simple this is
simple and you already gave it to me you
gave me
a nice little contrast nice little split
screen
that i was looking for so here's a nice
split screen you mentioned the miami
heat
and the houston rockets
so let's just say they're the home
there's the miami home
and there's the houston home you know
why kids are spoiled
because a household allows it
the household allows it you're not gonna
come here
talking like this that's why i get in
touch with my little nephew all the time
yeah hey man look i don't know how i
work in your house
you ain't gonna do that here you're not
doing that here okay now you can see
that's all you want
as for me and my house that's right
that's right joshua as for me and my
house this is what we gonna do
but look right so look remember this
when lebron
first got to miami and they started off
nine and eight i believe it was
yes and people were talking about oh
what's going on
is eric spoelstra gonna be out lebron
and there was like a clip of lebron
walking by spoelstra
and giving a little people were
wondering if the bump was intentional
or not if he was disrespecting him and
pat riley was like no
no no no you know what
eric spoelstra is the coach of this team
pat riley is the president of this team
this is what it is i'm not changing i'm
the boss and this is how it's going to
be
yeah this is how it's going to be and
they figured it out and
you know they went to the final went to
uh four finals four years great
yeah houston you can't complain about
the spoiled kid because you spoiled them
you brought them up you allowed them you
touched he had he had those lists
there like 25 items on the list and they
said okay got them all
yeah got them all yeah we will try it
never said
i got you because i've had this issue
admittedly
my wife over does it for christmas she
ever does it
i like that sounds like super saiyan
doing
come on santa santa santa and my wife
they all overdo it for christmas they
all overdo it okay
and it's to the point you haven't you
haven't i mean
i'm sorry this sounds this first world
problems but nonetheless you know it's
like
you you ever see a kid open the gift
and they open it real fast and they just
leave it there
and they move on and then it's like what
else it's like what else
you know it's like what else they just
they just keep going and they're just
moving fast and it's just like a bunch
of stuff around there's so much stuff
just like sensory overload
until they can't really appreciate it
and then they might gravitate to one
thing for a minute then a week later you
never hear it anymore like what happened
to the thing i got you for christmas
yeah what happened
yeah you know that's james harden right
now it's like you know he's like a kid
with toys it's like okay i got dwight
howard or i'm done playing with dwight
howard okay now i got to play
you know with chris paul i'm done
playing with chris paul we're not going
to play russell westbrook he's like i
don't want russell rescue anymore now i
gotta play with john
wall i don't really want john well i
want something else i want to go
somewhere oh i gotta play with i wanna
go play with kyrie irving i'm gonna play
with kevin durant
he's like sit down somewhere sit down
somewhere
you know what that kid says and that kid
pouts
like oh you never let me have nothing we
gave you everything
what are you talking about we gave you
everything
it's not good enough for you what do you
do more than you do
more than you know i mean you know santa
i'm tired of chew up
you know and if you're the rockets if
you're the rockets
you are entitled i get it i have said
that i would be exhausted i'd be sick
and tired
i'd be exhausted of james harden i would
lower my price but i understand
why the rockets would sit there and say
no player
like you made this you made this bed you
gonna sleep in it talk about as for me
in my house
you made this bed you're sleeping in it
you
are an mvp you've been you've been out
facing the franchise
you you're too good for us to give you
up for for nothing
i get it i understand why the rockets
are driving a hard bargain you know and
as long as they're going to drive a hard
bargain
no contender is going to break up its
ability to contend
to accommodate him and you're right
michael let alone what happens when he
gets there
is that the kind of culture that that
you want to implement
in order to make james harden
comfortable hey thanks for watching
