Ahhh…the good old playoff drama. Despite being right there in every single game, the Lakers received the gentleman’s sweep, and this is the first time since 2005 that we won’t have Lebron James, Kevin Durant or Steph Curry in the second round. That’s crazy to think about, and it does trigger a lot of uncomfortable conversations.
So, we gotta talk about the drama surrounding some of these teams.
Chams is already tweeting that Darvin Ham could be fired, and Lakers fans approve of that. They are also screaming for D’Angello Russell to be traded for a more reliable point guard and shot maker.
This is about to be an ugly summer for the Lakers, as they know that they can’t allow themselves to start the season with the same roster, as we saw exactly what would be the result. A first round exit in 5 games, albeit competitive ones.
The situation is similar in Phoenix, only way more complicated.
Not even half an hour after they got swept by the Timberwolves, we started getting some weird reports, culminating with this:
That is crazy. As a Knicks fan, I’d take Booker, especially since New York has a point guard, and a great one running the show. Something that Phoenix never had this season, and at the end it proved to be deadly for them.
Then, there was this story about KD and how he was never comfortable with his role in the team ever since Bradley Beal joined the Suns.
How Beal took the ball away from his hands, and he ended up sitting in the corner way too often.
Speaking of Beal, you got this situation in game 4 where he seems disgusted with his coach, and disrespectfully slaps him away as he’s running to the bench.
Now, the funny thing about the Suns is that they can’t really improve all that much after this sweep. They’re so locked in, in terms of their salary cap, that they can’t have a significant upgrade to this team. It’s either going to be the same roster, or blowing it up.
Booker is the most tradeable asset, then KD even at 36, he’s still great. And Beal…boy he’s owed 50 million next season, 53 million the season after that, and a whopping 57 million in 2026-27. That kind of money for a guy who’s constantly injured, you get about 40-50 games a season from him, and when he’s playing it’s mediocre at this point. There’s no team taking on this contract. On top of that, he’s got a no trade clause. Dude is literally untradeable.
The Suns GM would need to perform a miracle to save the Suns from this misery. James Jones has always been a cool and calm guy under pressure and in the clutch, so I wanna see what he does here.
Moving on, you already know about the drama within the Golden State organization, as this entire summer will be centered around Klay Thompson and whether the franchise is ready to give Klay huge money and be stuck in mediocrity just for legacy purposes, just to say that hey these are the guys that brought us glory and we’ll ride with them.
Honestly, as cute as it may sound, this would be horrific for the Warriors. If they’re committed to ride out the few great years left off of Steph Curry instead of rebuilding, at least form a competitive roster around him. Don’t put the burden on Steph to carry this team all by himself like he did this season and the last one. We know exactly how that ends.
Think about this, Tony Parker was also a huge part of the Spurs, but when he wanted to squeeze out every bit of money he could in the last few seasons of his career, the Spurs were ok to let him go to Charlotte. And hey, he’s still part of San Antonio history, there’s nothing wrong with that. He did look weird in a Hornets uniform but the team had a clear vision of what they wanted to do, and that was rebuilding and tanking. This brought them a bunch of good young players, and a generational talent in Victor Wembanyama. The future looks so bright now for this team.
So it’s understated how much of Golden State’s long term future depends on what they do here with Klay.
Then, this is a sneaky one…With the Bucks being on the brink of a second consecutive exit in the first round at the time of making this video, the situation is getting weird in Milwaukee.
Yeah both times Giannis went down with an injury, and sure they brought in Damian Lillard, a colossal acquisition after the Greek freak gave them an ultimatum.
But things looked awful for them this entire season. First, there was all that coaching drama. Hiring Griffin then firing him very quickly. Doc Rivers coming in and the team being equally as bad on defense, and not really utilizing the advantages that they have offensively. With 2 superstars of their caliber, the Bucks should have been much more frightening offensively.
The supporting cast is not really supporting, and Khris Middleton is never fully healthy.
So if this is another first round exit, what is the mindset of Antetokounmpo?

Never believe SAS when he says someone wants to go to NY...
He thinks everyone wants to go to NY. Hahahaha.
He really does. Any stars that seems unhappy, "Oh I've been told he wants to come to NY."
besides, they are now a playoff team again, they dont want that chemistry to be destroyed for an all star whom may or may not give a shit
Never believe him at all! The dudes sources are in his dreams besides I dont remember when was he got it right. LOL
@@tc-channelhobby4051perfect. Remember the Nets who got to playoffs with homemade team and got the KD fiasco
Plot Twist: booker wants to go to NY, Brooklyn NY with Bridges 😂
I don’t think building a team around lebron is profitable anymore (props to him for playing at this age). But winning teams should focus on the development of young players and building a serious team. Tom Brady had a low salary (bonus were all) to be champion and it worked. I don’t see lebron accepting a minimum salary
a problem with many superstars. they take the big money, and then complain that they get no help.
winning could be so easy
Exactly. If Lebron wants to gain everyone’s respect, he would take massive pay cut to his nba salary and prove he’s a team player. Its not like he cant make that money up with endorsements if money is real the issue. You make a great point.
@@spicstadude is just broke, he needs this money, how he's gonna eat a feed his children ?
@@spicsta yup should take a paycut or veteran minimum salary and play second fiddle to another superstar 🐌🐌
@@spicsta that would be the opposite of gaining respect, everyone would clown him for it. But then again everyone hates him already so 😂
Betterhelp have sold their client data to advetisers. Would not be suprised if they sold it also to insurance companies .
Also underpaying the certified professionals
I mean every company sells your data anyway.
This guy loves shilling shit companies for $
Ofc he isnt. Lebron would never, ever step away without a retirement tour.
Your comment is really unintelligent. The NBA would never let him retire without a retirement tour. There isn't a single owner that would want that. This is simply a fact you would know if you were aware of the magnitude of the business that LBJ spawns by existing. Don't look at it like a fan of the sport.
@@obiwanyutuben Nope. MJ retired straight after '98 and did not have a tour.
Lebron could do whatever he wants. This ain't the plantation bruh. Calling my comment unintelligent making the wildest assumption that he has no choice, like what bruh.
@@Dotsetc Mj retired 3 times. Most fans want to see a kobe or LBJ before they go. It's only natural that all parties would want to say goodbye after 20 years.
@@obiwanyutuben It doesnt matter that he retired 3 times. The first time was anti-climactic and MJ retiring if Phil Jackson didnt come back was already a given at the start of the '98 season. He easily couldve chosen for a retirement tour, which the league a 1000 times over wouldve preferred but didnt.
I also never said I don't understand why these tours happen, which had nothing to do with my statement. Then you claimed he supposedly would basically be forced to which is straight bs. Persuaded? Most definitely, but forced lol they cant force you nothing like that bruh thats bs.
My statement was:' Lebron would never skip that.' Is that correct or incorrect? Correct right? So what is this entire argument you formed around 'if he'd say no' when he wouldnt anyways?
You formed an entire scenario based on misconstruing a simple ass statement. Made a 'but what if pigs could fly' argument and calls me unintelligible lol.
For a business perspective if you were a mid to low rank team owner i would sign him for ticket sale. Lebron having a retirement tour make sense because of how many fans he have who is 100% going to buy a season ticket.
Bradley Beal is about to commit 3 years of highway robbery on the Suns and i cant wait to watch it! This is what happens when you let executives who know nothing about the sport call all the shots
Wizards are good at exporting trash like John wall and Beal
This is NOT James Jones' fault completely. Matt Ishbia (the owner) is to blame mostly and he is the one who thinks it's NBA2K
@@AnarRamazanov-po5le I agree! I was referring more to the Wizards organization as a whole. As the high level investors who have tons of sway without being in the public spotlight
The lakers played pretty well. The games were close
Lebron said, “[he’s] never been a participation guy,” but I get what you mean.
lebron is a man child
Games would’ve been won if Reaves, Rui and Prince made there freaking shots that not mentioning Dlo and his flip flopping performance
@@Abulkhirat9 you're pretending LeBron didn't brick a game winning shot in game two.
Superstars win games, not role players. Imagine the Bulls struggling and instead of blaming MJ, the media said Paxon or Longley needed to show up 💀😂
Lakers lack of adjustmen from darvin ham, how can u lead all series and at quarter 3 and 4 u lose the game
The only way to fix the problem of underperforming "stars" should be easy. Pay them based on performance and contribution to the team. Paying $50M to a player playing only half the season's games and getting injured is crazy sh*t IMO
But then Ben Simmons would be poor
Why wold any star ever sign that contract 😂
lebron really love spotlight, remember last year??
dude literally said nothing, and he's not the one who mentioned him leaving?
@@Melio160 Bro leave him alone he finished his 9-5 already. He'll back tomorrow morning to continue hating lebron.
keep updated..😂
Imagine hating on a person so much that you remember what they did last year. You know more than his own fans smh go do something with your life
Rent free for a whole year lmao
Hey, you do a great job on these.
The new kids on the block are dominating the NBA and definitely the next season ans so on, and it's refreshing 💯👍
The Lakers games with Denver were so close. Similar to the close games last year. If only Vanderbilt was able to play, the series could’ve been longer
2005? That’s crazy!🤯
love your vids heat check your vids always come out so fast!!!

Great video!
given the state of the NBA I'm not sure if the USA has a chance to get the gold in the Olympics. Lebron may just get more embarrassment if he enters.
I don't know how that Suns team was ever going to work out. They have three of the same high volume scorer archetype. The rock can only be in one set of hands at a time.
KD / Booker start, Beal leads 2nd string. That would work
I hate seeing better help sponsorships :)
Might be worse than gambling.
@@matekiss1705why?
Why?
Every company already sells your data to worst comapnies, betterhelp were just unlucky they got exposed haha
Wherever lebron goes, toxicity and drama follows…
Yeah same with you
Indeed thanks to the haters following him and expressing themselves passionately 🐌🐌
And a title, since he won one with every team he played in
Imagine being drafted by a team, to only be traded because of exposing a cheating teammate, to then play exceptionally one season, to only be traded for a superstar that ended only making the team chemistry a whole lot worse, and then play for a championship caliber team, just have the worse of luck because of a pandemic, to being traded another time for another superstar, that ended up leading his previous team to a championship one time, to have him traded back to the team he was drafted, to now finally picked as a scapegoat for this playoff exit by his team's fanbase
DLo just can't get a break, can he?
Scapegoat???? Lmao dlo just doesn’t show up when it matters people acting like his performance this run wasn’t bad are just delusional he’s the third option for Christ sake.
How tf is he the scapegoat when he had 0 fkin points in a game? Y’all say anything
That’s his karma for snitching
@@Reese1882yw Yeah, he sucks when it matters, as simple as that.
Beal make same salary with Jokic is crazy
LeBron has a $51 million option for next season on the table to consider. We'll see how this plays out. Lol.
Loving that new generation is here...I feel a lot of these older players have gotten complacent, and expect things to just fall in place for them. While these younger cats got a lot to prove and are grinding hard. Its incredibly fun times to be watching.
Heat check
Bro the Knicks and Sixers Game 5 is the best playoffs game I ever seen
Doc Rivers 😂
They can emerge. Laker + Suns
He's just a drama queen. He wont go out without a farewell tour
LeBron's future looking like the comments section of this video - a whole lot of arguing and nobody agreeing on anything.
KD is the biggest joke pro sports has ever seen
Better help is what we get when kids go into psychology at uni and can’t find jobs after graduation 💀
3 days later THE WHOLE LAKERS COACHING STAFF HAS BEEN FIRED
Look, I think Booker should have already stepped up and took over this team. He is the one in his prime, and he should shoulder a lot of the blame. But trading him is a really bad move. Find a way to get rid of Beal and reduce KDs role. Let Booker sink or swim. About time, I think.
LeSatan Hercules 😂
U didn’t mention the Mavs who are equally young 🤷🏽♂️
that's disgusting how much Beal's contract is...athlete's get paid way to much imo
03:06 "Guys...mental health is a huge aspect of today's life"
Proceeds to show Demar Derozan like he's some kinda lunatic.
Nice.
*** Still a good Alternative for sports lovers ***
but yo! You can't have Brunson and Booker. Booker is not a spot up shooter he is J. Brunson with less Passing, team oriented playmaking.
Like Chris paul is special in modern NBA. He is Eric Snow, John Stockton, guys about the team play. Superstar role players. Remember how Iverson had Snow? Brunson and Booker there not Luka and Kyrie or D.Wade and Williamson (who had a defense between them and Amazing team Playmaking ability. Amazing!)
But it could be the greatest thing!
Yes
The End of an Era its the young guys turn
getting old is what it is
Lebron with the classic chess move right here.
Booker lacks the fighter mentality that Knicks now have imo, but the Knicks also need more players that can score. Another small player though?
The Lakers exceeded expectations.
Booker is a shooting guard not a traditional point
NBA is just going with the flow of fan demand and expectations - no more dynasties, more mystery.
I would really want this lakers team if Wood didn't get injured. Could have been good that wood would be center and AD as a PF as their first 5.
Damn bro I really like watching your videos even though I feel like they got less technical in the playoffs which what made me a fan in the first place. However, just watching the kind of sponsors you back tells me you a man of values that should be supported!!
Bron, KD, Steph still high level maybe they should team up just for fun
They are. The Olympics.
I love your videos dude but stop better help ADs
Dame and Giannis can’t get along together because Dame doesn’t know how to play away from the ball as Giannis holds the ball too much
Beal is straight up robbing nba teams at this stage of his career.
Giannis wouldn't leave after this season. If we lose this series it's not even close to the heat series last season
I dont know hot the wizards managed to trick the suns with beal lol
Klay for Beal🤣
Suns need Jordan Poole or something. Send Beal back to Washington.
Easy with Milwaukee 😅 they still in the competition and even if losing they don't need big change to be a serious contender (not like the Suns or Lakers or GSW...)
Nah, you're wrong with the Tony Parker one. That was deeper than what you saw as he only had one more season left
Kd and LeBron need to team up for their last hurrahs. Maybe get Curry in there too. Fuck it, make a whole retirement team, all the old goats getting together to show these new guys 1 last thing.
Lebron goes to the team that drafts Bronny. He said that a while ago and I believe he means it
This ish again!
So let me get this straight. You dont do ads for betting companies but you're okay taking money from a company known to sell clients info to advertisment companies.
Imagine if Lebron decided to go w that baller of a team instead of trading all the future stars for Davis🤭
I can guarantee the clip of Book in the last two videos at about 7:57 is from NBA 2k, no way thats a real vid
New cowboys are in the town. Faster,sharper and more deadlier.
Lebron will end up in Golden State as a free agent for his final year, 2 max. Bro been wanting to play with Steph for like 5 years now.
Ain’t no way lol
He’s not a punk like KD
@@Biscuitsgravy924😂😂 are you sure ??
GSW is about off-ball movement.
Lebron never moves without the ball. 🙂
I don't think golden state would be worth 5 billion without klay thomson, i think kuminga matters the most about getting paid to stay.
Ant is good but he did that against team with no defense it is not like he did it against some great defenders
Klay thompson on milwaukee Giannis on golden state.
Welcome back to cavs king 😅
Not sure 🐌🐌
Ffs. Rather than mourning these old players, shouldn't we be praising the new ones? Now the entire playoffs, it's gonna be talk of those 3 instead of the actual ones still playing.
Whose mourning? 🤣🤣🤣
@@Avian07 WHOOOOOSSSSHHHHH
@@deeziebaby7241 woooooosh right back at yah 😆
@@Avian07 cause the MSM only sucks the d of players based on a narrative instead of based on basketball. Go back to your anime and juice box.
He's gonna run to the Warriors. Going to NY makes absolutely no sense considering his family is set in LA. Besides, he all know as good as he is, he still demands EXTRA help and one or two fall guys. He's going to Golden State. Try to get Himself and Curry another ring cause he knoes Bronny isn't ready for the league
Can't wait! Running to Steph for help will cement him as the most hated athlete of all time!
A team with Steph, KD and LeBron ring chasing
I’d watch that
They would lose and this stupid generation and media will still say they're all the goat.
Steph wouldn't do that coz he's loyal to his team but the other 2 might join the Warriors to make that happen.
Why not,i don't blame them,you ball until you fall completely however all of them still have alot of gas left in thier tanks regardless of how you feel about all of them.Just know that when the US basketball team competes with the rest of the world starting in July,conversations between all US players on the US basketball team like Lebron,Curry,Durant,Booker and others will be had so whenever the draft in late 2024 to 2025 happens,we all will see who goes where,its definitely going to be some surprises and shake ups during that time,stay tuned
if they all went to the warriors that would be epic
Lefraud,drama king 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
its nice to see some basketball influencers taking other sponsorships than gambling bullshit. i appreciate that!
Giannis to Miami. Make it happen!
Don't be partering with Better Help
The next era took another step into becoming the face of the league.
players nowadays have too many egos.
Why suns always choke during playoffs?
Never surprised on KD
Legone about to be gone again
Been 6 years already 🐌🐌
NBA was trying to make the lakers win so bad the foul and free throw disparity was ridiculous. But NBA is a product at the end of the day so it’s expected to be a little rigged
No problem with the team, the problem is with the diva LEAVEron...
If Edwards keeps this up and can stay healthy, he's the next Kobe and maybe even MJ. Mark my words.
Rockets gonna be good next year hopefully we get a good vet like kd
Bro, I think you should've used 2012 instead of 2005.
Giannis move to gsw
Teams need to stop letting big names act as GMs. Ruining the future of teams
This season clearly shows us that the young rising stars is replacing the legend
🤣 LeBalco lost 🤣🤣🤣
Almost like they should’ve kept Lonzo
Beal needs to show he's a winner. He has nothing to show, he is only rich :)
Bron so annoying. Has to keep the media talking about him
He's going to use his son to team up with another loaded team. That's why he's not answering that question.😂
He cant answer the question cause he dont know lol
love this guy's game, but damn he can't make decisions right, asking for Westbrook, totally clearing the locker room with new guys and thinks he can contending the championship where every teams in the west getting stronger ? cmon now.
i will never understand why he didn't asked Dwight to return, he needs a rim protector, AD keep saying he hated that role and injury prone because of it, u had KCP on contract and send him as a package for trade, u had Caruso the energetic guy and traded him, u were hoping Austin Reaves to be an all star caliber player. like cmon now.
LeGM ? what a joke.
He's just an idiot and a bad basketball player. Only rely on strength and zero skill.
I wouldn't take booker in the Knicks. Booker proven himself he is just a scorer that's it.
It amazes me how much people expect from teams with dudes like LeBron and KD who are on their way out and refuse to accept it gracefully, LeBron in particular.
Yup should take pay cuts and play second fiddle to other superstars 🐌🐌
So
