00:00So, I don't know how much, there's so many rumors flying around about LeBron right now
00:05and what's holding up the decision.
00:08You know, Bryson and LeBron love attention.
00:11Well, you know, you have the Miami Heat and supposedly scheduling a YouTube video for
00:17his announcement that is not coming.
00:20Didn't Miami just get Giannis?
00:22Yeah.
00:23You think Giannis, Giannis, does he seem like a person who wants all this drama?
00:28I mean, I didn't think he used to, but now apparently I think he doesn't mind it.
00:31I don't know.
00:32I don't know if he wants all this drama.
00:34Well, maybe he doesn't, but there's a lot of drama following him around.
00:37So, all right, go ahead, go ahead.
00:42Bring Washington into this.
00:43All right, so here's the angle in which the Wizards play into this, which is kind of funny.
00:48So, according to Kevin O'Connor of Yahoo, one of the guys who's plugged in, LeBron is supposedly
00:56slow playing his decision because he wants to see if anybody that's going to bring him
01:01in can possibly go get Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving.
01:04All right.
01:06Miami can't do it because they just signed, what's it called?
01:08Yeah.
01:09They just traded for Giannis.
01:10Yeah.
01:10They can't make that contract work.
01:11No.
01:12Anthony is making $58 million this year, right?
01:15Yeah.
01:16LeBron is going to take the minimum, about $6-$7 million.
01:21Kyrie is still making dollars.
01:24Because what team is going to do that?
01:28He wants both of them or one or the other?
01:30I think one or the other.
01:32It's not realistic to try to go get both of them.
01:35Okay.
01:38I mean, how ridiculous is this?
01:40Bro, go sign somewhere.
01:43Listen, you're the king.
01:45You believe what you say you are?
01:47Go sign somewhere and make that team great.
01:49Yes.
01:50Don't go find a team already made, ready to go, and go join it.
01:54And then you're going to try to act like you did it.
01:56Come on.
01:58Well, and you know LeBron loves to drag this stuff out
02:02and continually have his name pop up in the news.
02:07And it's just so frustrating.
02:10For the Wizards, they have not made it sound like they want to move on from Anthony Davis.
02:16Despite all the stuff that's been swirling around all offseason with Anthony Davis,
02:21the Wizards have not made it.
02:24They haven't.
02:25I mean, they've said the opposite, that they want to move on from Anthony Davis.
02:28So, I don't know.
02:30LeBron trying to get Kyrie doesn't seem like the Mavs want to move on from him.
02:35It doesn't seem like the Wiz want to move on from Anthony Davis.
02:39Why can't LeBron just make his decision?
02:41Yeah.
02:43Because, listen, ever since the commissioner came out and said that they were waiting for him
02:51so they wish he hurry up so they can put the schedule out,
02:54I think he's just trying to...
02:57I don't know how...
02:58I think he's being just an ass now, to be honest with you.
03:00That's what I think he's doing.
03:02I don't know how real that is, but I did see something on Twitter saying that basically
03:06there was a little bit of pressure, and he's waiting until LeBron makes his choice.
03:12And so LeBron's like, you know what, I'm going to wait a little bit longer.
03:14I believe he's doing it.
03:15He probably is.
03:16I really believe he is.
03:17He probably is.
03:20And I don't get it.
03:21So, Bleacher Report put this out yesterday, according to Andy Baskin,
03:26saying that LeBron's irritated with Adam Silver pushing him to make a decision.
03:30They were going to make an announcement last week, but decided to hold off just because
03:34they're being petty.
03:36See, that right there tells you everything you need to know.
03:43Big baby.
03:44Well, and that's the...
03:45The league is going to move on with or without you.
03:51And if I were Adam Silver, I know they want to get the best bang for their buck.
03:56Yeah.
03:57I just go put the schedule out there.
03:59And every team that you're trying to go to, I just get them all the bad stuff.
04:04I'm serious.
04:07Yeah.
04:07I mean, it's just wild that this is going on once again.
04:10And look, it's impressive what LeBron has been able to do where he's still playing at
04:14an incredibly high level at this point in his career.
04:17But this isn't 2012...
04:18He still ain't carrying no team nowhere right now.
04:20This isn't 2012 LeBron when he first went to the Miami Heat, and that's one of the best
04:25basketball players I've ever seen.
04:26He's really good still, and he can still help you.
04:29But he's not that same LeBron that he shows up and immediately guarantees you a championship.
04:35He's been great at doing that throughout his career.
04:37He's not doing that anymore.
04:39He's not signing somewhere.
04:41Now he's trying to find a team already ready for the championship.
04:44Yes.
04:44If he wants to do that, you have every right to do that.
04:47Just make a decision already.
04:48Yeah, man.
04:52Or just go.
04:54How much do you think this affects his legacy?
04:57I don't know if it affects his legacy because the people like stallion and they...
05:04It doesn't affect him a lot because this has already been a part of his legacy, right?
05:07Like him jumping a ship in Cleveland to go to Miami, going back to Cleveland, going to L.A.
05:13So, like, I look at a lot of the former players with podcasts, and then I see a lot of
05:22former players openly in interviews and stuff basically talk about all of that stuff he did.
05:32It's the reason why they don't look at him as like the GOAT.
05:35Yeah.
05:36And Shaq and all these people, when they ask these questions, this is the way they answer it.
05:41Because they say, if he had just done it, like, I saw Paul Pierce talking the other day where he
05:47said,
05:48Steph has played on three different teams, but he'll only go to the state.
05:53Everybody came to Steph.
05:55And Steph won more during the LeBron era than LeBron did.
06:02So, how am I going to call him a GOAT when Steph, the babyface assassin, did more on the same
06:09team than he did during that time?
06:12I mean, how many guys throughout MJ's era went home without any championships because Michael Jordan was always standing in
06:19the way?
06:20Yeah.
06:20It's similar in the NFL right now with Tom Brady did it to an extent.
06:24Patrick Mahomes recently has done it to an extent.
06:27Are we going to, in 10 years, be talking about how did Josh Allen ever win a Super Bowl and
06:31we're going to look at Patrick Mahomes?
06:32That's the type of thing where LeBron didn't do that.
06:35It's not to say that he's not great.
06:36If you watch basketball, you understand how good of a player he is.
06:39Yeah, definitely.
06:40But it's just...
06:41Just make a decision, bro, and go.
06:42So, let's get the season on the way.
06:44I got a game plan my season now.
06:47I'm going to some games this year for the Wiz.
06:49I'm excited to watch them.
06:50Got to check them out, yeah.
06:51So, to bring it back to the Wizards' point of view.
06:53And in fact, you want Anthony to go with you, take him.
06:56If you don't want to be here, bye.
06:58Well, and that's the thing.
06:59That's the way I feel about it at this point.
07:01Listen, dude ain't do nothing but play hesitant the whole time since they brought him over here.
07:06If you don't want to be here, go, dude.
07:09Yeah.
07:10800-636-1067.
07:12If you had to make your pick here, if you're a Wizards fan for the Wizards, do you want
07:17to see the Wizards hold on to Anthony Davis and play this out and see what happens?
07:20Or, if LeBron is going to keep holding this up, do you want to see the Wizards go ahead
07:24and give in to his wish and give up Anthony Davis?
07:27800-636-1067.
07:29Eazy-E is in Rockville.
07:31What's going on, man?
07:33Hey, what's going on?
07:34I told you what's going to be next.
07:34What's up, brother?
07:36Okay.
07:37I'm going to be straight up with you, okay?
07:39I'm not going to take away any accolades, any great things that LeBron has done.
07:44But for a man at this age to be playing this game, it is challenge.
07:48Quit doing this crap, okay?
07:51Every team, every player, every time he leaves a team, he wants to be the GM.
07:56He wants to act like this.
07:57He wants to act like that.
07:58It is just, to me, it is just so childish the way that LeBron acts sometimes.
08:03All the great things he does for the community and what he did on the court, I'm not trying
08:06to take it away.
08:07But why does a grown-ass man need this type of attention?
08:11Are you kidding me?
08:13And you're just trying to do, well, if I can get AD, you know, I'm going to hold out
08:16a little longer, too.
08:18Based on what the Woodgers said, as DMS said, one-finger salute.
08:23We ain't trading AD right now.
08:26We're not trading AD right now.
08:27We're going to see what he can do for us, even if he only plays 65 games.
08:31Yeah.
08:32Okay?
08:32Or if he only plays 60 games.
08:33Well, 65 would be a fever dream.
08:35Well, it is a dream.
08:37Because I even told people we play 50-55.
08:39That's good for the Woodgers.
08:40But what I'm trying to say is, and then if they end up getting a really good call from
08:44the GM, and they're sitting at 48-49 wins.
08:47With 25 to go, and they feel like there's a player or two, that they can trade AD for
08:52to help them, then they'll afford to trigger.
08:54But right now, they're giving a one-finger salute.
08:56And I'm doing the same thing.
08:57Move on, LeBron.
08:58You're not getting AD.
08:59He's here in D.C.
09:01Thanks for taking my call.
09:02There you go, bro.
09:02Appreciate you, Eazy-E.
09:03Yeah.
09:03If you want to hop in, 800-636-1067 is the number.
09:08LeBron apparently is waiting on a potential Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving trade.
09:13If you're the Wizards, what do you want to see him do?
09:15You want to see him go ahead and move on in from Anthony Davis and help LeBron out?
09:19Or do you want to see them hang on to him?
09:20I don't want to help LeBron out.
09:22800-636-1067.
09:24Be Mitch and Finley on the fan.
