    I do love that Wildes has been holding Nick's feet to the fire a bit more lately, it makes the show a lot more enjoyable.
  • @deesee2051
    Man Klay doesn’t want to get blamed for the Lakers shortcomings next season
  • Wildes is right. Nick always picks LeBron every year and it always turns out that he's wrong. Bro, Klay did what was best for him and not what was best for LeBron
  • @MalikDiene
    FTF YouTube dropping a triple double with this upload speed
  • @SojiRo23
    Imagine going from Steve Kerr to JJ Redick as your coach.
  • Nick’s disdain for Rob Pelinka is just so entertaining. He has to make sure he doesn’t accidentally criticize LeBron while he rips Pelinka while also trying to convince himself and the audience that LeBron doesn’t run the team😂😂
  • @LLPOF
    When Lakers win, it's all Lebron. When they lose, it's all Polinka.
  • @blclemons9598
    Dallas’s GM has been on a run since last years’ trade deadline, he’s underrated.
  • The lakers are 1-8 in their last 2 playoff series. Klay isn’t really moving the lakers to the top of the west, but the Mavs are pretty much right there and they just made the WCF and their biggest weakness was 3pt shooting. Klay is perfect for the Mavs and the Mavs are closer to contention+no state income tax.
  • Nick 100% said if the lakers beat Denver he doesn’t believe anyone could beat them and also said that he felt like the lakers SHOULD want the nuggets first, also gave credit the beginning of the year for the roster they had so idk why bro is doubling back on things as someone who calls himself “mr.consistency” 😂
  • Broussard just ambushed Nick and his demolition narrative against Pelinka 😅😅
  • 50 million in Texas is a lot more than in California where I reside lmao
  • @jdankerdake
    Perhaps the most obvious explanation is the correct one. Klay has won four championships and has been to the Finals six times with one of the best teams in NBA history. He missed the Playoffs last season. He would rather play for a team that just made the Finals than a play-in team. Pelinka's ability or inability as a GM may have had nothing to do with Klay's decision to play for the Mavs.
  • @naveengta
    4:37 "What does Rob Pelikna do well?" "He runs the team you always seem to pick"
  • Hey Nick, maybe nobody wants to play with an aging 40y/o LeBron.
  • Before the szn started Nick most definitely gave credit to Rob for the supporting cast he acquired😭 someone needs to pull the tape lol
