00:00And the big news for Team USA, which has been in Vegas the last few days, getting themselves
00:08ready for the Olympics over in Paris, they're going to play their first game tonight against
00:12Canada at the T-Mobile, is that Kawhi Leonard, who had been practicing with the team, showed
00:17up, is not going to play for Team USA.
00:21The Olympics put out a statement basically saying that themselves and the Clippers thought
00:25it would be in his best interest to not play and just focus on being ready for the NBA
00:32season in the fall.
00:34So nothing new injury-wise for Kawhi Scottie, but more of a they don't want to see him get
00:40injured while he's playing, which is what we thought was going to happen two months
00:43ago, and sure enough, it happens now.
00:45Well, I think it's ridiculous.
00:48Like honestly, why go?
00:51Why go then?
00:52Was that just a tease, just to be around all your, you know, Hall of Fame buddies?
01:00Just was it a get away from Costa Rica, hit Vegas for a few days?
01:04I don't understand this because I'll tell you what, he doesn't stay healthy in an NBA
01:09season to save his ass to begin with.
01:13And let me tell you something, they're going to rue the day they screwed over Paul George
01:21because he played 74 games this year and it was the only time you've ever seen that happen
01:27either.
01:28Frankly, losing him leaves them on an island with Kawhi Leonard because he's the only guy
01:34on the whole team that has any talent now.
01:37Derek Jones Jr. is okay.
01:40I don't deny he's a decent piece, but he can't carry the Clippers when Kawhi Leonard is out.
01:47And they've had Kawhi, George, Zubats, they've had everyone on this team and they still stink.
01:53I mean, at the end of the day, they never do anything ever.
01:56They're like, they're beyond the Sixers, Mike.
01:59They're on a whole nother level of losing.
02:02Black Cloud Diner, right?
02:04But they're counting on this guy to carry them and he can't even make it five days in
02:11Las Vegas with the Olympic team and they're worried it's going to affect this season.
02:16They should be worried that that's the only player they have on their whole team.
02:21And another thing, they're moving into the Shangri-La multi-billion dollar new arena
02:28and they have no talent.
02:29I mean, I don't consider him talent anymore when he never plays.
02:33The guy's injured, like, I mean, let's face facts.
02:38He plays about five games a month.
02:41Is that about what he does about five games a month?
02:43Let's be real here.
02:45You can't trust him anymore.
02:47As far as I'm concerned, he should have stayed in Costa Rica.
02:50Like, I think his career is like, seriously, he's got one foot out the door.
02:54I don't think he's lasting in any more than I think Porzingis is.
03:00I've told you four years I give Porzingis.
03:03I'll give Kawhi Leonard the same amount of time left in the NBA.
03:07I think his body's saying, no mas.
03:11Look, I say this to you a lot.
03:14There are just certain franchises in North American sports across all of the leagues
03:20that it doesn't matter what they do.
03:23You can change the owner.
03:24You can change the GM, the coach, the players, the uniform, the stadium, the arena, whatever
03:31you want to do.
03:32It always comes back to the same thing.
03:34They're always going to be a loser organization.
03:37And that's what the Clippers, unfortunately, you know, that's just, it is what it is.
03:40That's what they are.
03:41They made it.
03:42Look at what they gave up.
03:44And it got them nothing.
03:45Now, if you win a championship, fine.
03:48You give up a hundred draft picks and Shea Gilgus to get Paul George in there to play
03:53with Kawhi.
03:54If you win a championship, you can stomach it.
03:56When you don't even come close, it ends up being one of the all-time worst deals ever
04:01because now Paul George is gone and they didn't get anything back for him either.
04:04So that's why they're the Clippers, Scotty.
04:06Clippers will always Clipper.
04:08Jet will always Jet.
04:09Brown will always Brown.
04:10You know, you go on and on and on with the list.
04:13If he's going to have that ring in Toronto, that'll be it.
04:16He's not winning any titles.
04:17Yeah.
04:18Oh, I agree.
04:19He got one out there.
04:20I agree on that one.
04:21He won that by himself.
04:22I'll give you that.
04:23You know, there's no denying when he played it at San Diego State and when he came into
04:29the league and when he was healthy, there's no denying how great he was.
04:35There's no arguing that.
04:36There's also no arguing what we just talked about.
04:39All of his problems with injuries now have caught up with him.
