00:00I do also want to offer this when it comes to Denver. It makes their offense less predictable.
00:06Even though we very much know Zach Levine's game, it does make their offense less predictable.
00:12Right now the unpredictability is in Jokic's movement.
00:15And in the playoffs, like they're looking at this not just as a regular season.
00:19As a half-court move.
00:20In the playoffs, an individual's ability to take one's defender.
00:26It doesn't have to be a fully cleared out, old-fashioned, walk-it-back iso.
00:32But just the ability to get where they want and create the shot.
00:36Without a screen.
00:37Right.
00:38Here's the thing. You don't have to ball screen for Zach.
00:42You can give the ball up top in between the rings and he's going to get by his guy.
00:47You can screen for him if you want that action in the area.
00:49He's great off the horn and stuff, whatever they want to do.
00:52But just that ability is valuable.
00:56Knowing Michael Malone, what do you think of that pairing?
00:58It's a great pairing.
01:00Right?
01:00Because Zach Levine's like, oh, you guys have won a title.
01:02You know what you're doing.
01:03I will listen to everything you say and do whatever it is I need to do to get it done.
01:07Plus, I know I'm getting all the shots I want because Joker.
01:10And he could also shake that whole losing player thing, Dan.
01:15He could.
01:16I'm looking at you.
01:18But he has been a losing player.
01:19He's been on losing teams.
01:21Yeah, he's also been on winning teams.
01:23The Bulls didn't win three years ago.
01:25That wasn't them winning.
01:26Yeah, but he's he has generally never been associated with success.
01:32The usually the more he plays, the less likely the team is to win.
01:36And when the Bulls discovered Kobe White and actually found some useful pieces and
01:41increase in value, it's when he was out.
01:43Wasn't that the same thing they said about Carl Anthony Towns for a long time?
01:47And then they put him with other all-stars.
01:48And I mean, seriously, he became a winning player.
01:51Well, the guys that it was said about for a long time were Levine and Kevin Love.
01:57And then Kevin Love got with LeBron and things looked a whole lot different.
02:01I respect your basketball knowledge, but I just think that's a really odd label to put
02:07on somebody when a lot of it has been out of their control.
02:10Exactly.
02:10I'm with Layla on that one.
