Jeff Teague DEBATES if Cade Cunningham will be BEST NBA player in East | Club 520 x Detroit Pistons

All right, man. The Pisses in the Grizzlies 128 to 112, man. Um, let’s go ahead and showcri That’s super tough. I ain’t going to lie, man. And when I watch these highlights, boy, I be missing hooping a little bit. And then I stand up be like, “Yep, K might be in the running for player of the East.” What is that? No, I’m saying best player out out of the East. No, I’m saying the best player. What a roller coaster. Him and Pablo. No, I’m just saying him and Pablo this year. I’m like, what do you mean by that? So that’s going to be that. But you just made an award for 20 player. Player of the east. There it is. There it is. There it is. Shout out to that player of the east. Player of the east. He is in the running for player of the east. That’s a yearly award. In the running for player of the year. So that’s what we going to do. Best player in the east and best player in the west. What your prediction right now? Then we since you got here, you started to be here. This is your award. You give it out. Paulo Ben Carol is player. Best player. I got runner up Kade. Best man in the east. I got Yiannis. Uh, damn. Best in the West I got Joker. Dang. East I was going to go with Giannis, but in the West I’m going Luca. In the East I, Yall know how I felt. Think Yiannis going to win the MVP and I got Joic in the West. I got A in the West. I like that. A gonna average 30 this year. Mhm. Somebody we didn’t mention this. Um, John R did not play. Um, he suffered a ankle injury and is week to week now. Hopefully, it’s just precaution. You know what I’m to get him ready for the beginning of the season. Um, unfortunately, he dealt with some injuries in the past. We’d like to see a healthy, healthy job for sure on the court. Shout out to Josh Drum. He has 16 with the squad. We going to update that every week, too. When season we got in the East who’s playing the best. It’s going to change every single week. I like the week. That’s the part of the show now. Yeah. I like that. For sure. Every Thursday, we going to pick our player of the week for sure. Let’s get it. It’s documented for sure. All right. Um, Pistons, can they be top four in the East? How we feeling? They can. Do I think they will? No. Um, did you see Cat talk about that recently? He was just like u that was the toughest team they played basically last year. He was just like you know they lost to the Pacers. I mean you know they they like to discredit us but like we didn’t put belt to ass for two years but he said they was a really tough team. He saw it firsthand. He was just like you know they was good. Isaiah Stewart felt like if he could have played later in that series they could have made an impact and maybe even got past the next. So we’ll see man additions and Kade is going to take that next leap for sure. Uh Grizzlies do we have any expectations for this team? Is it a good year for them if they get in the playoffs? No we just want to see job play. Just stay healthy. That’s it. He like the LaMelo right now. We don’t really care what they do, the Hornets or the Grizzlies. And it’s no disrespect to those organizations because we fans of those guys. We just want them to see them play. We want to see them play 60 plus games. I want to see him and Jiren Jackson just have a good year. Yeah. Wish for both of those Rogers. Love to see them on the court. Just in the game. We just want to see y’all play. All right. This is the game I tapped in for real yesterday. Rocks took care, excuse me, the Rockets took care of your Hawks yesterday. Yeah. 122 to 113, man. Loading the clips. A real game, bro. They was there, bro. I like Daniel Johnson. Oh, excuse me, twin the weight room, baby. He was a little boy. Yeah. Get out of my way. Little boy. He been working out with LeBron off seasonason. It’s showing off right there, boy. He a little boy. He on that this year. Yeah, he a little boy. Got lots of this game, boy. They was hooping yesterday. I know it’s preseason. Talk to twin. Been in the lab. Come off that screen. Come here, KP. Uh he Yeah, good footwork. That did look clean. Good footwork. Hit a corner three yesterday. The crowd start going crazy. I said, “Oh, damn. If this going to be consistent, boy, people going to be in long years of Rockets.” I know he been in Atlanta. Yeah, Jabari. Fake. Oh, yeah. See, that’s what scared me. That’s what scared me about my Hawks team, though. The only thing that scared me is uh defensively. Will we have a presence defensively? I got old buddy. I got Big O and KP and you got Luke Canard and Trey on the win. You got Dyson. I’m just saying he’s a hell of anchor. He He’s definitely a great defender, but when your best defender is a guard, Yeah. We need room protection. We need room. We got to see what KP is going to bring. Contract year. Hopefully, he brings that energy. Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, I’ll watch this game yesterday. Reed Shepard looking nice out there. Moo. How we feeling? Uh, I think he gonna have a good year. Uh, I think they’ll be a good regular season team, but I’m just curious to see how it looks in the playoffs. If Reed get him 12 and six this year, great year. Hell of a year. Great. 12 and six. That’s all you got to do. He can do that as a first year starter. 12 and six. That’s all he needs. They got enough scoring around him. Kevin Durant’s going to score. Jabari going to score cuz he shoot the ball so so good. He going to get open shots. He can He can get 12 for sure. He had a shot yesterday. He came off fading in the corner. Comfortable cash money. I’m like, “Yeah, he going to hit open shots 10,000%.” No, for sure. He’s going to do that. And then you playing with KD and him. You’re going to get six and six, bro. Yeah. I’m scared to see this team when KD plays. Um, say they gonna look comfortable yesterday, even getting double. I know it’s preseason, we gonna read with it too much, but Tar East and them boys out there. Also, somebody who went crazy yesterday, hit five threes, JD Davidson, the guy we was really, really high on last year. He going to crack that rotation at the team, bro. Especially with Van Vleet being out. Yeah, he going to get out. He can actually hoop too. So, he definitely like him. When you’re the number one player in the country as a high school kid, Yeah, you can play. You got some game. Just need opportunity. Yeah, you got some game. No, I like I like that Rockets roster, bro. They could be very, very scary for sure. Shout out to your Hawks, man. We got something to look forward to for them. Jaylen Johnson, I think he gonna hoop out this year, man. Yeah, healthy shoulder back. We gonna be all right for sure. All right, man. The Nuggets in the Raptors play yesterday. Won 12 to 108. Shout out to the Nuggets getting a dub. Christian Braun looking good yesterday. He had 19. Jamal Murray had 17. Jokic had 17. He had a crazy pass yesterday. U opposite sides of the court. We ain’t got it, but yeah, Joker like that for sure. By played his first game since December last year, had a smooth 18. RJ had 19 as well. I know uh you’re a little bit high on the Raptor. You think they can make the playoffs? They should. I mean, with that roster, how much money they paying everybody not to be into people pockets like that. We ain’t that kind of crew. We want everybody to get paid. But if you looking at that roster, it’s one of the highest paid rosters in the league. It has to be. Everybody on that team like they starting five, average traveler got to be them. They’re 30 plus. They got a quality team. Yeah. Look at that. It’s worth it. Look at that. That Scotty Barnes 38. Yeah, they the is damn near 25. IQ 32. RJ Barrett 27. Jacob got signed 19. Yeah, though. Yeah, that starting five is getting paid. I go to Toronto for 40 M. Yeah, starting five is getting paid. They got to be a It’s got to be a playoff team. Everybody’s 30 million. I see what y’all saying, but it’s it’s quiet, y’all. They could be They could be You don’t think they can make the playoffs though in the East? Well, they are East Down East. You still got uh Gray, but you got to break down. You got JD GD off the bench who had a solid rookie year. Yeah, but you got to break down the East. Damn, they not even close to top. Y got to break down. Yeah, go down to three teams in the West though. Jesus Christ. Cleveland paid. I felt like Toronto was paying a lot of people. Well, I guess they not just them top five. They just paying their first five. Well, Your first five getting paid that much. It’s time to You got to do something. They not getting paid a lot when you look at it. No disrespect. Boys getting paid 60 million. That’s two players on that. Well, my bad. Terron, y’all did a really good job for that. Say, “All right, we got the official list here. We got one. Cleveland, the Knicks, two, the Mavs three. Not even top 10. Timberwolves five, Warriors, excuse me, four. Warriors five. Toronto is at the bottom. 76 to six. Lakers seven, Celtics eight, Clippers nine, Magic 10, Rockets 11. My lord. Yeah, they top they top half of the league. So that’s not bad. They top half of the league. They’re paying more way than the team with Joker and actual contention, which is crazy. They top half of the league. The GM work different. They paying enough to make the playoffs. They pay higher than the Thunder. The Thunder stuff going to kick in next year though. It’s going to be wicked. They going to go to the be paying more than the Bucks, the Pistons, everybody else. boy. It’s poverty down there. The Nets, boy. They Well, they tanking. They saving money in taxes, boy. 142.

Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Get well soon. Championship bust. Jared Allen got the max. He ain’t got a max. Damn. Good deal though. He’s super close. Damn. You pay a lot of people. I don’t get paid a lot of money over there. Yeah, it’s beautiful over there in Cleveland, boy. Shout out to Kenny Jackson. Yeah, they ain’t mad at it at all.
