00:00This is Tim Roy and you're listening to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 the game. All right
00:07There's two things going on here one is things are happening really fast
00:11And then the other thing is but they do take a little while to get out
00:17the real news is always a couple days late and
00:21If this report is true, the Warriors are already on to something else
00:25But I'm gonna play two pieces of sound because the latest thing being reported we came into the show
00:32With I'll tell you what. I'm gonna recap the whole thing
00:35This is how we came into the show with Sam Amick of the athletic. Take a listen
00:40I think that the Warriors thing is very real admittedly. I'm a West Coaster like you guys
00:45So we're kind of getting rolling right now to figure out where the Intel is at today
00:50There were moments last night where I thought you know
00:53This was actually gonna happen that as you guys know, there's a lot of times layers to these talks where the formal
01:00Indication might be we are not coming off Kevin Durant and then behind the scenes
01:04They're finding ways to make it clear like well, if you gave us the entire, you know, the entire package then maybe we do
01:12Things to look at Jonathan Kaminga is a guy that as we reported yesterday
01:16The Suns definitely have interest in in a possible long-term future. I think that matters
01:22You know, then you're possibly talking about a brand of the Jim ski Wiggins in there
01:27All right. So we started the day
01:29With Sam Amick reporting that he he thought the ramp to the Warriors was close enough that it might have happened last night
01:36Here's what's just being reported today by sham Sharanya
01:40The Warriors have been seriously pursuing Kevin Durant over the last week
01:44But sources tell me that Durant has no desire in a reunion with the Warriors
01:50He does not want to go back to the words where he won two championships won two finals MVPs
01:56All right, that's sham Sharanya. And if you don't believe him
02:00Mark Spears of landscape
02:02I was there that last year is in Golden State saw a lot of those games and saw this
02:07Unhappiness no matter what their success was was a Draymond. Was it Joe Laker behind the scenes? Was it Kerr?
02:13There were a lot of things there and I was told that a couple days ago and Kevin heard about this Warriors rumbling
02:19It was like what? No, I don't want to go back there. I was pretty adamant
02:24I think he approached the Suns to get some clarity on it
02:27And can you work with me to find a place somewhere else and you know from what I hear right now
02:33I've just got a text that it's dead. I mean two things Warriors deal is dead. Yeah for Kevin Durant like they're moving on
02:39Okay
02:40There is Mark Spears
02:43KD
02:44The KD just like that. It was almost done and now it's dead. Yeah, and I kind of believe
02:51Believe it. Maybe the Warriors worked on a framework deal for KD
02:56before
02:57They got the they got word that he didn't want to come back here. All right
03:02Here you go. Ladies and gentlemen your chance to play knockout at Chase Center
03:07I'm going to give you the key word right now
03:10And when I give you the key word, you want to keep it in mind. The key word is screen
03:16screen
03:17Andrew Bogut used to set a hell of a screen
03:23Screen so now what happens is not this time, but the next time you hear this sounder
03:32Which is the blaring horn and
03:38Yeah, when you hear that sounder at some point before one o'clock not that one then you're gonna call
03:46the contest line at
03:48415 5 2 3 4 6 5 2 first caller gets to go
03:54Play knockout at chase not now not now. All right
03:59whoo
04:01Whoo
04:03Let's go, uh, who's been waiting city boy our man city boy been waiting the longest
04:10Hey city guys, how you doing? Oh, not not bad. Not bad. How are you? I've been better
04:17Yeah, you know what this whole KD thing. I'll be honest, right?
04:20You know, I didn't I'm not gonna say I didn't want him
04:23I mean if you drop him on the team
04:25I would like it but I kind of feel the same way key KD does probably we've been there and done that and and
04:31You know and the whole thing about being disrespected by the fans
04:34I mean, this is the guy who was signed in one and ones every time every year
04:37He would sign a new one and one so he had one foot out the door
04:41Warriors fans wanted to embrace him, you know, I know I used to talk to my son and say, you know, man
04:46I was just doing sign a four-year deal, you know
04:48I mean if he had signed a four-year deal, we would have been all in on him
04:51We never felt like he was all in on us
04:53We felt like he just came here to get his rings and he got him we were happy and grateful for that
04:58But you know, that's what it is we used each other so, you know, I think that
05:04You know and and you know things were unfortunate that were said and done and you know
05:08But we you know, I love KD, but I don't really want him back and I'll tell you what answer me this
05:13Let's say we get boosted bitch, right?
05:14All right, you rather have would you rather have boosted bitch Wiggins and coming on the roster or just KD?
05:21Out of those three do I'll tell you what I'd rather have I'd rather have the three over the one
05:28Yeah, I'm not mad at you and I would answer you add to that too. And if you could get the rant no
05:35There's about an hour ago just to defend me. I did say that was a steep price if it were with if it were wigs
05:42Cominga and Dre actually appreciate the call, but it's a little steep
05:46But I just hate stunning can you share what I know you hate it
05:48But it's what I said to you and Evan before hello this morning when I came in. I don't know. I can't remember Wow
05:55Okay, Evan. Do you remember?
05:57To be fair. We say a lot of things from 9 to 10 a.m. I'm not sure
06:03No, then
06:05My two brothers you just I came in and said I really want Kevin Durant. Oh, I know
06:16Man
06:17But you can't admit to the people that might be a bit hurt with this news now. It's over study Spears dead dead last night
06:25He was acted. It was almost like all we needed was an announcement and
06:30That's my fault social media. But damn to get here by 1225
06:36It's a ran a rap
06:39Wow, well, I'll let you get I'll let you get over Kevin Durant
06:43But as soon as you get over Kevin Durant the conversation may have to turn to why doesn't anybody want to play here
06:49Not just Durant. I I know you believe there's a I do I absolutely do Alan San Pablo
06:57What's going on?
06:59And that's why did you say that I was trying to say exactly the same thing, which is why why would any?
07:07Okay, why would when any
07:09Superstar or all-star want to play here as long as the common denominator is on the team
07:16Now we know that the common denominator is
07:20Contrary has contributed to KB leaving not the only reason but he is part of it
07:25He's the reason why Jordan pool is no longer here
07:29And if you notice that since
07:31Karen KB left not an all-star or a superstar has joined the team
07:39either as a free agent or as a trade and
07:43Here's the reason I think
07:45People want to be comfortable in their work environment
07:49No matter how much money you make whether it's hundreds of dollars or millions of dollars
07:55We all want to be and that's the key want to be comfortable and if we can choose
08:02Where we want to be comfortable at then that's great. Not everybody has that option
08:07so a superstar and all-star generally has that option to be where they want to be comfortable and
08:15As long as the common denominator is here with the Warriors
08:19They don't feel they will be comfortable. They look at Steph Curry
08:23Oh, this would be a great place to play, but they look at the common denominator of why certain people are no longer here
08:30I'm not going to be comfortable with that. So I'll choose not to be here. Yeah, so I think that unless the common denominator
08:39Is no longer around in the next year or two. We're not going to get that all-star a superstar to be with Steph Curry
08:47Appreciate the call. You know, I think there's a couple other things going on here, too
08:50I think they all could be at play and maybe one thing affects one player more
08:55than the other but
08:58You can't tell me the fact that they're 500
09:02Isn't a factor. I mean clearly Jimmy Butler and Kevin Durant if they thought they could win a ring here
09:08I think they they would have come here. They would come here. I don't think they believe they can win here
09:12But you think Jimmy thinks Phoenix gives him a better chance. I know they got a young Kevin Durant
09:16Yeah, I think he does. I think he does
09:21You know, I mean the the other thing is
09:26And this is what I truly believe all this all these reports the players
09:31They the players know everything that's going on right now
09:35Everything and they know all the players know the Warriors are desperate for a star
09:42You know what?
09:44If I'm a star
09:46Do I really want to come here?
09:49Knowing that everybody's expecting me to save this ship that's going down. I
09:56Mean you just if you're a big-boy player
10:00You can't look at the Warriors right now and say that's where I want to be
10:04And if you're a big-boy superstar and you're trying to direct yourself somewhere
10:10Warriors aren't on the list right now. I think we're finding that out. Yeah
10:13Well, I'll say this Bradley Beal has a no-trade clause Kevin Durant does not but Stani what happened to the old days of
10:20Kevin we're sending you there. We don't care if you like it or not, but I guess that's just a bottle of
10:26Explosives in regard to if Durant really didn't want to come to it. I'm a little it's more
10:31He gets there and then it's Jimmy Butler all over it's more what the long-term effect would be to the Suns
10:36To be known as an organization that treats
10:40Superstars in a way where they'll send you where you don't want to go. Well, guess what then why would you sign with Phoenix?
10:46I think it's also
10:48The Warriors if the Warriors don't think they can keep Durant
10:53Or he's not gonna be happy
10:54Why would they trade anything if you're not you're not sending the farm to Phoenix unless you have a guarantee that Durant or Butler
11:00Whoever is gonna sign here, right? Those players don't want to then. Why would I trade Wiggins or coming or picks or anything?
11:08Absolutely wasn't done with he has a hell of a job well
11:12If it's because I'm not there as much as you are that you know that guys don't want to come here
11:18But if that's real and that's out there then damn well, I was almost asking him the impossible
11:23I mean, how long has it been now since the Warriors have made this public about we got to get like is it?
11:29It's well over a year right since we've been waiting for a guy
11:33Wait waiting. I mean, well, yeah, this was always a fan's dream. They never said that so nothing there
11:40No L there, but in regard to
11:44marketing and and Paul George
11:47But I was like man the great Mitch
11:50great rich Mitchnin
11:53Paying $2 trade 30 or drain cominga. Okay
11:58Let's go to
12:01Mystic in San Francisco. What's up mystic?
12:05What's up, fellas, man? You guys are cracking me up today. Um, I the Warriors right now
12:11They're like your friend at the party with stinky breath
12:14Who doesn't know that his breath is stinking and he's getting in everybody's face and people are just kind of moving away from him
12:21Listen Kevin Durant, he's a diminished player. Anyway, he can score
12:26He can't guard on the perimeter anymore, and he's rarely healthy. So I don't think you trade away
12:32Young players for old players that are diminished
12:36So I'm glad that this deal didn't go down and then also it would be a no win for Kevin Durant because he didn't
12:41Achieve what he wanted which was go out there and prove you can win without the splash brothers
12:46Why would he want to come back even if he won or if they lost it's a disaster he gets no credit
12:52he's just a ring chaser like like
12:55Gary Payton and and Karl Malone at the end of their careers with the Lakers
12:59It's so actually I would love to see the Warriors. I
13:03would love to see the Warriors hold on to cominga and Wiggins so that you have something to guard on the perimeter and
13:10Then package Draymond and somebody else for one of these
13:14Fringe players like Rusevich somebody who can actually help your offense function
13:20I think that's a much better play and then to see what you can do in the summer and
13:24Ride it out and see how well your guys do but this whole
13:28Chasing, you know trading old lamps for new
13:30No, it's it's new lamps for old as Popeye for those of you who are, you know, too young to remember
13:36Appreciate the call
13:37Appreciate the call. I'm uh kind of with you
13:41especially now
13:45What is it now study who he was realistically out there now
13:49Rusevich
13:50Ingram Zion
13:54Getting ready to close Cameron Johnson another run on Bobby Portis apparently. Oh, there you go
14:01BP
14:02See any other year if they made a move where they got Portis
14:05I think people would be like that's a great pickup and it would be but it's not enough now, man
14:10You know, I'm trying to think and now I remember
14:14Remember everybody's disappointed last year's trade deadline. All they did was make that minor move for Corey Joseph
14:20Yeah, so a year ago
14:22Everybody was waiting for this move
14:25But guys like Durant weren't available. My point is, you know, my point is is if you're one of these
14:32There have been a lot of people on the text line. I'll give you credit who have been sarcastic and saying they're not getting any of
14:39these guys guys and
14:41They may end up being right and at that point
14:44I mean how many trade deadlines need to go by before you realize they can't make a deal and
14:53Their thoughts about how easy it might be could have been wrong. So you I gotta ask you this because
14:59It is what it is right now. We still got time or they got time to pull something off the Warriors
15:04But you really believe
15:06What's on TV and what Evan just recited and what you read from Spears and the powers to be shams
15:13It is bad for business when you hear guys
15:16Say they don't want to come here like you think moving forward
15:21Today's not just bad because they couldn't get said player
15:24But the fact that Jimmy Butler and and Kevin Durant are on record as saying for whatever reason they don't want to come here
15:31That's bad for business
15:33Well, I also think it's Butler and Kevin Durant are playing on 500 teams right now
15:38Why would you want to go to another 500 team?
15:41That that's the way I kind of look at it
15:43and that's why Durant wanted to stay in Phoenix if they could get Butler because he probably thought they had action with him Butler and
15:51Devin Booker
