Nightcap Hour 2: Wizards WIN NBA LOTTERY + Anthony Davis is KEY to #1 PICKS + Ric Flair TAKES SHOT At Luka + LaMelo Ball Has FIRST Child

13:25Shannon Sharpe:Yep. Yeah. I don't think you got no toy. Oh, what you gonna put him? Hold on. Is Ja there or not there? No, Ja gone. He gonna be gone. Okay. We gonna go right in though. Well, if that's the case, all things being equal, I think a point, I think Acuff works better there.

13:46Chad Johnson:You think Acuff works better in Memphis? They got Acuff going to the Brooklyn Nets at six. I ain't going to lie. I like that spot. I know now. I know Acuff probably want to go higher, meaning he probably wouldn't mind being a top three pick. But if I'm keeping a clear job, I don't want to see Acuff in Memphis. I want to see him in the big city. I want to see him in Brooklyn. What about Wilson, Caleb Wilson, the guy from North Carolina? Hey, hey, he nice, Joe. He's going to Chicago, number four. Yeah. They got a nine-pound squad over there. He going to fit in. He going to be a star. He going to be an all-star in this league, Uncle Ocho.

14:23Chad Johnson:So hold on, hold on. You got Caleb Wilson going number four? Yeah, I got him going four. So you got the Bons are going one. Who you got going two? Peterson? Yeah. So who three? Boozer. Boozer three. Oh, that's right. That's right. I forgot about Boozer. Hey, so where Boozer going to go? You going to go to Memphis. Nah, Joe. What you mean, nah? Memphis? Look, they just gave up Jen Jackson, so now they're going to replace there with Booz. Oh, they're going to fit? Okay, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

14:52Shannon Sharpe:And you got Big Edie over there. And don't, hold on, don't Memphis get Orlando's pick? Do they? Let's see. I think they get because...

17:52Shannon Sharpe:They had to give up four first-round picks to get banged.

17:57Chad Johnson:That must be a later first-round pick.

18:08Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I think.

18:14Chad Johnson:If I can be. Yeah, I can't.

18:18Shannon Sharpe:Oh,

18:22Shannon Sharpe:so at 14? What's that?

18:28Shannon Sharpe:Okay, 14 and 18. So when does, what you call them, get the when does Memphis get Orlando Pigs

18:41oh

18:41Shannon Sharpe:Phoenix because they got Desmond Bain no Bain was a free agent he went to Houston as a free agent right remember excuse me Dylan Brooks went as a free agent so I'm trying to figure out who did they get over there okay

19:02Memphis has 3 and 16

19:07Shannon Sharpe:and the 16 is from Phoenix so they can build up pretty good they get a good solid pick number 3 they get another pick at 16

19:19Chad Johnson:they trade Ja

19:20Shannon Sharpe:they might get a solid player

19:24Chad Johnson:when you think about it and you look at it I don't really think Ja fit the code system bro. You know, he came in, he kind of changed the system. He using that overseas system. Yeah. Ass cut, you know, catch and shoot. Y 'all box office, bro. You know what he's going to be into the game. Hey, you know where he going to be at though, Joe. I hope he do go down there. Joe, he looking for a place down here right now. So we ain't got nothing to worry about.

19:52Shannon Sharpe:Well, you know, hey, Joe, they're going to probably won't wear or Tyler Hero. That's fine.

20:00Chad Johnson:They're going to get Tyler Hero. That's fine.

20:02Shannon Sharpe:But my thing is, I don't understand. You felt so. You could have had James Harden. Who? The Heat. And they didn't want to get up off Hero.

20:12Chad Johnson:You're saying they could have got James Harden win?

20:15Shannon Sharpe:A couple of years ago when he was available. But they didn't want to give up Hero.

20:19Chad Johnson:I don't think they really wanted James Harden that bad. Man, can you imagine James Harden with Bam? I can't imagine James Harden in Miami.

20:34Chad Johnson:That's why I can't imagine.

20:35Shannon Sharpe:Well, they got some nice adult entertainment.

20:39Chad Johnson:Hey, James liked to party, okay? Listen, if he could go and use it.

20:44Shannon Sharpe:And guess what? Pat Riley gonna tell him no.

20:46Chad Johnson:Yeah, he got to tell him no.

20:48Shannon Sharpe:He got to tell him no.

20:51Chad Johnson:hey listen y 'all know man they really they really got people in the clubs bro who let people know hey yeah bam here tonight just let you know pat yeah right out yeah yeah we see um hey that's perfect that's exactly what my boy need that's what my dog need coming out coming down there from memphis come on down here to miami we gonna make sure you're right because the the destruction the ecosystem the way things work we gonna always have eyes on you when you think we not even watching. That's what he need. As long as you don't think Miami is paradise and it's a damn vacation, boy, you're going to have a day.

21:24Chad Johnson:Hey, boy, you're coming here to work. That's it. That's it. You're coming here to work. Don't be fooled by the palm trees and the water. No, sir. Don't be fooled. You got to be putting in some work.

21:37Shannon Sharpe:I'm all for it. Let's go. Anthony Davis is the key to getting a number one pick in 2019. Anthony Davis trade Pelican trade Anthony Davis. They get the number one pick in Zion. In 2025, the Mavericks trade for Anthony Davis. Guess what? The number one pick. The Wizards trade for Anthony Davis. Guess what? Number one pick. So right now, he's three for three. Isn't that ironic? People gonna say, see? See? Y 'all think y 'all slick NBA. We see what y 'all doing.

22:08Chad Johnson:Mm-hmm.

22:09Shannon Sharpe:Now, listen.

22:10Chad Johnson:You know what? They couldn't make it obvious by giving Utah the number one pick. So they just gave him a little wiggle room. Like, man, y 'all can really make some moves, and maybe y 'all can get that.

22:20Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all need to work this out. What would have been messed up if OKC got the number one pick? Oui. I'm glad they down there, too. Because think about it. The Lakers won the championship, and they got the number one pick with James Worthy.

22:36Chad Johnson:Yeah.

22:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. OKC? OKC gets fit. So they get their own pick and Philly's pick, right? Their pick goes to Dallas. Their pick goes to Dallas. Who do they train for Dallas? Oh, you know, the NBA, man, they be bringing five or six teams in and you get our pick in 2027 and we get your pick in 2032. So they still get a, what, you say 17? And they get the LA Clippers. So they get, oh, so this is the last year for the Clippers? This last year they get the Clippers pick. Damn. Think about how long they'll be getting Clippers first round pick. Hold on, who get the Clippers? Who get number five pick?

23:17Shannon Sharpe:No, the Clippers, OKC, get the Clippers number 12 pick. The Clippers get Indiana's number five pick.

23:26Chad Johnson:Oh, okay. I wish, now I wish, I ain't gonna lie to you, I wish my Hawks would've got that number four pick. I'd've took four. I ain't asking for the B1 or 2. But if them Hawks could've got that number four pick and got Caleb over here. Ooh! Y 'all still would have been home. Chill, chill, chill. I'm just saying.

23:50Shannon Sharpe:Damn. It's over with. Hey, they still got one more card up this lead, Joe. In 2027, OKC can pick swap. So they say, you know what? We like that pick y 'all got. Let's go ahead and swap this thing out right now.

24:10Shannon Sharpe:damn

24:15Shannon Sharpe:you see what happened Kawhi was a blessing and a curse because you got a superstar to come to LA but you had to give up so much and he's the gift that keeps on giving he's the gift that keeps on giving love bread, baked goods and pasta but not the way they make you feel What if I told you there are macro-friendly options that don't taste like sawdust and sadness?

28:32Shannon Sharpe:Man, Ric Flair took a shot at Luka last night after the Lakers went down 03 to OKC. There's only one word that I can possibly say and that's disappointing. $46 million and you can't play? OMG, I would jump off the Empire State Building with a parachute for$46 million a year, and I don't even know how to pull the cord to open it. But I take my chances. Luke has been sidelined with a grade 2 left hamstring strain since April 2nd and recently revealed that his original diagnosis was eight-week timeline, which means a return isn't likely until the end of the Western Conference Final. Joe?

29:13Shannon Sharpe:do someone need to remind rick that rick the nba court is in the wrestling ring and uh

29:20Chad Johnson:this stuff isn't choreographed bro i mean that that's how fans feel huh uncle joe that's how they want to see you play and the first thing why mention why mention the money the money has nothing to do with your availability if you hurt you hurt you can't go grade two hamstring that's nothing to play with. Hold on. Them diehard Laker fans, man, it's just hard when you watch the Lakers battle and they don't have him out there and you see him on the sideline to think what if or like, damn. You know, that hamstring is just tricky, bro. You can't just come back from it. You know that way. So, and if we just keeping the 100 over the past few playoffs, hell, Luka got hurt.

30:03Chad Johnson:He just got hurt.

30:04Shannon Sharpe:Yes. He made the family. nicked up when he went to the playoffs last year. I mean, when they played Boston, when Boston beat him, he was nicked up in that series. Yeah. He was nicked up last year. Yeah. Damn.

30:23Shannon Sharpe:Look, I think I don't think Luka's faking. I think if Luka doesn't strike me as a guy, I think, look, I think he got in better shape. They asked him to come in better shape. He got in better shape and he stayed in shape throughout the year you know he just had a hamstring and those europeans they're gonna have that body like that when you ever see the european like cut up i'm talking about like cap like the white hiler janice no one yokich no one uh uh uh uh uh luca that's just they not built like that it's okay they can ball but we expected them to have these

31:01Chad Johnson:deep you know yoked up bodies that ain't how they're built hey them boy heavy on that beer

31:18Shannon Sharpe:hey but hey the thing is though if if if if you're gonna give somebody 34 a night i don't think there's too many teams gonna tell you to put down the hookah and and and the uh uh anheuser bush the bud.

31:31Chad Johnson:No, they ain't going to tell you that, but you should want to do it because you're like,

31:36Shannon Sharpe:hold on. I'm getting 34 at night, 34, 8, and 8, and I'm on hookah, and I'm dragging these buds?

31:43Chad Johnson:Bro.

31:44Shannon Sharpe:I put that down. I might bump that thing up to 37, 38.

31:48Chad Johnson:Man, the man in MVP. He in the MVP running this year. Playing insanely. You mean to tell me him. One little injury. That's why one little injury, bro, can change a whole game. Look. Look at Wimby, bro. Like we always talk about, as much as he hit the court, hit the floor, if he go out, it's an even ball game.

32:10Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. Because you look at a guy like Luka. Luka, his average is 33. And he's a guy that averages more in the postseason than he does in the regular season. If you look at his regular season score and you look at his postseason score, he bumps it up. He's a guy that gives you eight and eight. He gives you eight rebounds. He gives you eight assists. That's what the Lakers, and like I said, I'm not saying that if Luka's in the lineup, they're going to win the series. They probably still lose, but I feel, I would feel even more comfortable they can get at least a game, or the games would be competitive.

32:48Shannon Sharpe:It's going to come down to like the last two, three minutes of the ball game, and not the fourth quarter. You already know, well, I ain't going to do something else until,

32:59Chad Johnson:fact fact

33:02Shannon Sharpe:but I think like you guys said I think Rick is a Laker fan and he's like a lot of Laker fans like damn every year we get here Luka get hurt

33:12Chad Johnson:amen in LA they want championships they want to

33:15Shannon Sharpe:be that's all that matters no excuses that's all that matters to them and when you you know in the 80s you got five and then the 2000s you got another five yeah that's how the lakers are measured man they measure by championship they don't care about all that other stuff and all the greats that have come there have won championships will came one a champ won a championship uh kareem won five championships shaq came won three lebron got one that's what the superstars i'm not talking about the guys that got drafted there or they traded early on kobe got drafted to charlotte and then they traded for Kobe.

33:55Shannon Sharpe:He wasn't drafted by the Lakers, but he won five championships. So they, they, hey, he didn't play for anybody else other than us, but the Lakers, you're measured by championships, whether you, you're drafted there or you're traded there. That's what you're judged by. Cause that's what the expectations are.

34:12Chad Johnson:Hey, look, plus you got Luca and LeBron. You got arguably the best player in the game and you got Luca who is, I'm I'm speaking of LeBron, one of the best to ever play the game. Right. Yes. You got Luka, who averaging 33 in the MVP race, and you got AR who had done came along. I think Lakers fans really felt they had a real chance to make it to the finals. It's just unfortunate, bro. Yeah.

34:41Shannon Sharpe:Me, I didn't really think they had a chance to make it to the finals because they can't defend.

34:45Chad Johnson:I think situation, I think it came down to meaning matchups. Depending on who played in the postseason, obviously if you don't have to run into OKC until

34:54Shannon Sharpe:the Western Conference Finals but if you have to run into them early I mean given the way Aiden's playing the way he's playing against Chet and Hartenstein what the hell is he going to do with Wimby? What you going to get Wimby? 50-15-8?

35:15Chad Johnson:Man Luka's just such a difference maker though fellas So we can't, you know, out of sight, out of mind. Hell, his ass ain't played and I don't know how long. So we forget, you know, when he was playing, hell, he was hot as I don't know what first quarter. He probably averaging 20 in the first quarter. Oh, yeah, yeah.

35:32Shannon Sharpe:He's leading the NBA and scoring in the first quarter. No question about that. I think he's probably 12, 14 points a game in the first quarter.

35:38Chad Johnson:Now, they'll still have some low points, but having him definitely helped.

35:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, like I said, I think that the frustration, because when you win, that's the expectation is that you're supposed to win all the time. And think about, I mean, they go straight from, they won their last championship in 88, and then they start winning again in 2000. And they win, basically they win, you know, they win, they go to seven, they win five of them. So in a 20-year span, they basically won. 1980 was the first one, the last one. sort of 30 year span. They won 10 championships. Dang. You know, you go to 16, you win 10. And that's the expectation to get to finals. It's kind of like the Patriots.

36:32Shannon Sharpe:The Patriots had a 20 year run that's unprecedented. They went to nine. They won six. Then the AFC championship numerous times. Peyton beat them three times in the AFC championship game. Joe Flacco beat them once. So that's another four times they easily could have gone.

36:54Chad Johnson:Man, imagine.

36:55Shannon Sharpe:That's what we expect.

36:58Chad Johnson:Imagine getting drafted by the Patriots, bro, and you don't know nothing but winning.

37:03Shannon Sharpe:That's all you know, Joe. That's it, bro.

37:05Chad Johnson:You don't know nothing. If you got drafted by the Patriots in that span, I'm talking about all you

37:11Shannon Sharpe:know is winning, bro. All you know is NFC Championship games. They missed the playoffs one time. They missed the playoffs in 2002 and they missed it again when Brady got hurt in 2008. After that, in 20 years, they missed the playoffs twice.

37:26Chad Johnson:That's crazy.

37:28Shannon Sharpe:Like I said, you're never going to see that again. I don't believe you'll see it again. I don't. Because it's so hard to win in the NFL because it's final. I'm U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
