Monse tell the audience what happened overnight? Russell Westbrook's best he got traded to the Lakers. Patrick Beverly my best tea too. So what happens when the player who irritates you more than any player in the league, who I have such distaste for? I wore a Versace bathrobe on television just to mock this guy gets traded to the team that I am currently rooting for because Lebron plays for Now. If you want actual analysis, I've got two things. One's gonna blow your mind. This is a I'm excited

to show you this. So I'm gonna show you a tweet from Patrick Beverly on August fourteenth. Patrick there was so Shan Sharania on August fourteenth, tweeted the first Lakers Clippers game of the twenty twenty two twenty three season is scheduled for October twentieth.

Speaker 1

Blah blah blah.

Patrick Beverley retweeted it with the prayer emoji. Okay, the prayer hands. So here's what's interesting. Why did he care about that? I'm not trying to do the Brian windworst, but what's going on with Patrick Beverley? So let's think about it. He tweets that August fourteenth, what is the other Patrick Beverley tweet we've talked about him saying the kad stuff was holding up everyone else's business? Yep, So what do we now know? If we're being if we're

if we're connecting the dots worldwide? Wi Rob Perez helped me figure this out. He knew this trade was happening almost two weeks ago, but it wasn't going to happen until the Kady stuff got finalized because the the whole league was in a holding pattern. Why else would he have prayer emojis that Lakers are playing the Clippers only because he's angry at the Clippers because they traded him to the Timberwolves year ago, and now he's like, I'm gonna get to play them exactly right, So this trade's

been works for two weeks at least. The other piece of information as this one one hundred. Russell Westbrook's getting traded now. There's there is no doubt about the fact Russell Westbrook's betting traded now for two reasons. One is Lakers have no other tradable contracts now that Taylor Hornton Tucker's gone. He can't trade Beverly you just got him, can't trade ad where they could but they won't. Literally

can't trade Lebron design an extension. So Russ is getting traded because he's the only way to improve the roster, and because as much as the Lakers might want to try the most volatible chemistry of any basketball team ever, they are not gonna have Russell Westbrook. Can you imagine the disc on Russell Westbrook's face if you gets subbed out of the game and Patrick Beverly's coming in. That's not happening. So that was one piece of news yesterday the other so that news made me. We didn't talk

about how sad. It made me, made very sad. I do not enjoy watching Patrick Beverley play, and I'm gonna have to watch him play eighty two times. So it's the playoffs. I'm not even looking forward to that.
