NICK is back to being pathetic
Nick let your coworkers speak gosh!! Also you DID say the lakers were contenders at the beginning of the season. Bring disrespectful to Rob yet you keep picking the same team is ridiculous. I hope they start telling you and your whiny voice aren’t good at your job! See how your coworkers just have on and let you complain, because you didn’t let them speak!
Run
Jordan never called and recruited Reggie Miller he wanted all the smoke and here we got lefake James calling half the league to take the blame for this year's upcoming failure he manufactured every ring on his finger picking his fights and shih ducking smoke
Man Klay doesn’t want to get blamed for the Lakers shortcomings next season
Klay sucks I'm happy he went somewhere else
So true..
Like he was blamed for the warriors?
@@TW__________no but he will be blamed if he went to the lakers just like how all 3rd stars are that play with LeBron. Happens everytime

Klay should have done a “The Decision” like interview…
😂😂😂😂 it was the most egotistic TV event I ever witnessed from a human being back then apart for the Kardashian...I knew for sure LeBron will never be the GOAT and has a dysfunctional personality.
@@silenciothequiet3471 He's still livin rent free in your head 🤡
I and many others think he is the Goat or at least neck and neck.
Wildes is right. Nick always picks LeBron every year and it always turns out that he's wrong. Bro, Klay did what was best for him and not what was best for LeBron
lol Wildes was completely wrong. Nick had the Lakers beating the Nuggets and losing to the Mavs in the western conference championship. Two years ago he had the 76ers winning the championship. Y’all need to quit hating and make sure y’all’s fact are right before arguing otherwise yall look like clowns. Also Wildes is like 90% wrong most of the time and in fact it’s more shocking when he is right.
Nick hasn’t pick Lebron to win in years
@@bryannepeguero4953I can believe because nobody have LeBum winning anything from here. The Lakers are a play-in team for the last three years 😂
When is wildes right?
@@JuanSanchez-lj8ufHe did not have the 76ers two years ago. He had the Mavs who missed the Playoffs. He said the Clippers would lose to the Mavs in the Conference Finals unless the Lakers made a move in which case they would make the conference finals and lose and then when it happened, pretended that his caveat was that the Lakers would win the title not lose in the conference finals. Nick is as disingenuous and flip floppy as they come.
I do love that Wildes has been holding Nick's feet to the fire a bit more lately, it makes the show a lot more enjoyable.
AGREED!! Somebody HAS to!
It is Nicks show, I am surprised when they’re ever able to challenge him on his trolling
Right like Chris Carter used 2 do
He came in with a completely irrelevant point about nick picking the lakers. He picks them because LeBron and AD. 2 players he had next to nothing to do with getting

You said it like its a big leap Steve Kerr is a Mark Jackson beneficiary, if JJ had Marc Jackson, Steph, and Klay to orchestrate the splash bros a historic backcourt he also would look like a HOF coach
What's the difference? Redick might be better! Kerr got gifted an already put together team. Once the core elements and assistant coaches like MIKE BROWN left, the whole thing fell apart.
How could Rob have possibly convinced Klay they was serious about winning when your boy done made them hire JJ Redick and draft Bronny 😏
I was about to write that
Haters, congregate here
The Mavs don’t match up well with any of the contenders 😂. I was one of the few to predict the finals blowout for that same reason. The minute they face a competent big, they’ll loose. It’ll happen again next year. Enjoy your glory days Klay.
@@zingisamahlaselanaw it's facts
@@supermanblackedition And there's only one ball 😅 Watch him be frustrated with Luka hogging the ball
The real truth : Klay don't want to play in the Lebron shatshow.
LA dodged a bullet, Klay would be another Beasley brick open shots has 1 or 2 good games but he ain't getting 9 three attempts a game, Dallas is a better fit, LA would have to throw picks to get rid of Klay
Newsflash original deal would've been done but warriors didn't want DLO
@@twizzy585ful so Dallas lost djjr and Josh Green for wash Klay? Lol, they got old Kyrie who couldn't do anything against Boston D and now wash Klay wanting 9 threes, Clay Brick is all you going to see in the playoffs, Dallas downgraded for sure
@@JohnnytNatural yeah u just talking...and terribly at that...kyrie washed but was the second best player on a team that represented the western conference foh
@@twizzy585ful I never said he was washed, I said he was old, that's why he struggled against good D, Kyrie of the Nets would never let that happen, that's why prime superstar are worth max and supermax, learn more basketball, and Klay is Washed. So you got prime Luka, old Kyrie, and wash Klay which is worse than last year team
Nick’s disdain for Rob Pelinka is just so entertaining. He has to make sure he doesn’t accidentally criticize LeBron while he rips Pelinka while also trying to convince himself and the audience that LeBron doesn’t run the team😂😂
You think this man runs the team??? A team with no coaching staff, no reliable point guard, no true center, no defense, no front office. Yeah. LeBron is running this
@@madea1012you’re ignorant of you don’t think so. Have fun living in your little fairy tale
Lakers can't even get coaches
@@madea1012exactly LeGM is garbage. Just like in Cleveland when he demanded max deals for Tristen and JR. Lebron micro manages teams into the ground, has his goons on tv blame other people, and then, moves on to the next team to destroy.
@@madea1012 yeah, like when he demanded the Lakers get rid of all that for Russ 😂

Yep he did along with the rest of the media

That didn’t answer Nicks question.
Literally doesn't answer the question in the slightest.

Yo TH-cam gotta chill with these bots.
Broussard just ambushed Nick and his demolition narrative against Pelinka 😅😅
It was beautiful
@@ne0n1nja247 and inaccurate cuz Pelinka hasn't been great lol
@@Mos3sofficial pelinka ain't been great. But this whole players should be going to the Lakers just cuz they're the Lakers is dead. Especially these hometown players. They watched the city and media NUKE their own in Russ when he was there so you know if you have declining games you're gonna catch Bron fans hate, Lakers fans hate, and media Attentions gonna be directly on you cuz they always go overboard when it comes to blame. Is Pelinka part of the Blame. Yeah. Is some of the blame on the fact that For some reason the Media still believe that Just cuz you have Bron on a team it's a contender and should be in win now mode trading every asset in wild swings. Meanwhile the only time The Lakers have cashed in during this era has been the covid year. It's a lot of eh. Cuz Nick ain't got this Energy for any other GM that he says is also bad but For Brons GM he acts like Pelinka is walking into Brons house and taking the awards out of there
@ne0n1nja247 I hear you and the hate is definitely overblown, the attention is magnified because the attention is always major on the Lakers, and major on Bron. Russ was a terrible basketball fit and obviously isn't the player he once was, so I think outsized expectations for him plus the poor fit doomed him from the start. The Lakers being a major destination is still a thing, I do think the "hometown kid coming home" thing gets slightly overblown though. The reason Bron teams still have that expectation is because he's still a top 10-15 guy and there's two of em with him and AD. That covid year suffers from some forgetfulness from fans cuz before the bubble the Lakers were a buzzsaw and Lebron was in legit MVP conversations, go back and look at the records before the bubble and the convos. They didn't suddenly benefit from the bubble. Even the following year, they were poised for a repeat or a deep run before Solomon Hill injured Bron, and AD's injury vs the Suns - they were up 2-0 in that series.
@@Mos3sofficial I can give credit For The Lakers literally ripping people apart during the beginning of that season. But it's also the fact that usually the Lakers tend to break down mid season due to fatigue and injury and that season literally getting nuked halfway through defintely helped AD and Bron walk into that postseason and continue ripping teams apart. But then every other season (Minus this year they were pretty healthy this time) they get tired and injured and end up breaking down for the postseason. Which is why I discount the season so hard. Cuz I doubt we're getting that again any time soon
Perhaps the most obvious explanation is the correct one. Klay has won four championships and has been to the Finals six times with one of the best teams in NBA history. He missed the Playoffs last season. He would rather play for a team that just made the Finals than a play-in team. Pelinka's ability or inability as a GM may have had nothing to do with Klay's decision to play for the Mavs.
Nobody wants to play with Bron but Clutch employees aren't allowed to say that so we get to listen to this bs daily
weird when hes had how many people come play with him over the years? keep lying i guess
@BossAJS Like who?

Nick 100% said if the lakers beat Denver he doesn’t believe anyone could beat them and also said that he felt like the lakers SHOULD want the nuggets first, also gave credit the beginning of the year for the roster they had so idk why bro is doubling back on things as someone who calls himself “mr.consistency” 😂
Hey Nick, maybe nobody wants to play with an aging 40y/o LeBron.
Or for a rookie coach
yeah its not that complicated. and i imagine lebron might want his son to get some minutes. who wants to deal with that?

@@razkablethat’s not the reason. The warriors were doing a sign and trade but in return the lakers would give the warriors dlo 😂
Lebron at almost 40 and injured AD aren’t enough for anyone to pick the lakers and their sorry roster over the Mavs who have a young Luka and were just in the finals. Obvious choice.
Also he’s been next to lakers his whole career it’s too close to home. I’d rather play on a young up and coming mavs over the James family reunion😂😂
Couldn’t have said it any better let’s go mavs
AD played 73 games not including playoffs
@@GSB_KD How is it a "reunion" when he lives with his son... he's been there his entire life. LeBron is an amazing BLACK father.
And whose fault is that? Because the 39-year-old and injured AD were very healthy last season with a roster Rob Pelinka put together. Now they can't get rid of these minimum guys with player options to sign decent players. Same thing every year.

It's funny how Nick forgot to mention that nobody wants to play with LeBron and get all the blame for loosing
But if he they were able to sign Klay it would’ve been “how much help does he need” correct?
You really don’t know when to use ‘losing’?
If Klay went, Oh see how Lebron always wants superteams. As Klay didn't go, Oh see how nobody wants to play with Lebron. Your types are the worst of the worse. Your hatred is pathethic and you should be ashamed of yourself!

@@tomsea6017 it’s a mental illness /maturity disorder…you call it pathetic but I genuinely feel bad for some of these people, I can only imagine how their real lives are playing out.
As much as Nick claims he never picked the Lakers to win it all, I distinctly remember him saying if the Lakers beat Denver - who he picked to beat Denver - they’re winning the Finals
He did. And him acting like if they had beaten Denver that he actually wouldn’t have picked them to win it all? Same guy that picked the Cavs to beat the KD Warriors lol
@@jeffmiles4356 And don't forget that he didn't just pick the Cavs to beat the KD Warriors in 2017, he acted like anyone who even doubted this was an idiot. "IF the Warriors make the finals, they can't beat the Cavs. We KNOW that now!" Fast forward a few years and suddenly it's a massive excuse for Lebron getting gentleman-swept that "obviously" it was impossible for anyone to beat that GSW roster.
I've lived in California my entire life, the taxes and cost of living have shot up to an extreme level in the last 10 years. So YES that is a valid reason someone would leave California like millions already have.
You have no idea what you're talking about. COL has increased drastically everywhere, probably even more so in Texas. Also, millionaires don't care about the cost of living lol

The lakers are 1-8 in their last 2 playoff series. Klay isn’t really moving the lakers to the top of the west, but the Mavs are pretty much right there and they just made the WCF and their biggest weakness was 3pt shooting.

There's no team in the universe that can convince a player that they're competing for championships when they hire a no experience coach and draft the star player's son just to please him. Any player would look at that and say they're dysfunctional. Klay's a smart guy and could easily see they're not worth the trouble joining them.
People forget Klay has been in a mess ever since KD went to GSW. He took a lesser role for KD Wiggins and Poole.He has sacrificed to make a Dysfunctional team WIN. Only two incidents with KD and Poole with Draymond came out. There must have been more for someone to record that in a closed practice.
If he went to the lakers Lebron would straight up sacrifice him like he did to Westbrook.

Good point. Nick hates Kobe with a passion
n tbu we will never kno wat kinda gm rob is until lebron is gone n with the amount of pull clutch has around the league rob kinda has to play nice so once lbj is gone they don't sabotage his moves in the future which would make lbj look bad if the Lakers bounce back fast after he leaves n that's just the reality of the situation
nick cannot handle cogent analysis of his statements. you hate to see it.
Thank god Brou stomped out Nick trashing Pelinka cuz everyone knows Nick's gonna jump at any chance he get because glorious LePapi doesn't have the absolute perfect situation every year to win a championship.
If you cant comprehend nicks point about how awful pelinka has been the past few years then i dont think you watch the nba. No klay isnt 100% his fault but nick is 100% right about rob being a useless gm thus far

Nick couldnt say when Wilds And Brou were bringing up those takes last year lmaooo
Shaq told the Lakers if they could get the money and they did then he signed once they did
Rob is a Kobe guy, so Nick must tear him down.
Klay is in for a rude awakening. Playing with Luka and Kyrie will not be like playing with Steph. Steph is the ultimate teammate. Luka and Kyrie are... Luka and Kyrie.
The new cba has made off season more fun then the regular season 😂
"hold on hold on" nick has pretty short memory when it comes to him being wrong. He was saying daily if the Lakers beat the nuggets they'd be in the finals and win and now it's the would of been out of gas.
Nobody wanna be a part of Lebron padding his stats & playing with his son … Klay did the smart thing
Nick set his self up at 4:30 and got stuck for a little. Lol
great episode
This is easy guys. Klay doesn’t like JJ and doesn’t want to follow in he’s Fathers footsteps as a Laker. He’s always been a guy to blaze his own path. March to the beat of his own drum. This gives him the best chance to win a title. Maybe even one more than Draymond and Steph. Also why help the guy you had been trying to beat for 10 years? I don’t think he was gonna go help LeBron win another and go past Steph for 4 titles. He can beat his boys and still keep LeBron under 5 titles. Thus under Kobe too.
Did thay cut the take out ?
I believe Nick “not trying to be unfair”. He can do it without even trying . It’s one of his greatest “gifts”😊
Pelinka the new scapegoat
Has Nick Wright ever considered the possibility that LeBron might be the problem?
How is he problem? He’s an All NBA player
I hope we can make some moves!
Nick degrades Rob Pelinka as scapegoat to upgrade Lebron and absolve him of any blame
Nick doesn't want to admit that guys just don't want to play with LeBron and Ad. And rightly so. These guys aren't winners. At least not lately.
Everyone knows nick would've picked the lakers to win the chip if they beat Denver 😂
"He put together the team you always pick" Wildes cooked
Nick has picked them to win two years ago after the trades, then said they're a strong contender before the last year, then picked them for big Title Pie again. Plus, maybe Dallas is a stronger destination this year because, this might be crazy, they're a better team than LA is now. Then he blames him for missing out on Hurley while in the same sentence admitting that it was probably not their choice anyway, so how did they miss out? Putting this on Pelinka is disingenuous but that's what he does with teams he loves or hates. It's wild.
Nick got owned in that segment 😂😂😂
When he asked what does pelinka do, and brou said he won a championship. Nick was about to say the bubble championship but he caught himself cuz that would make his lebron arguments look stupid
Klay just doesn't want to be any part of L.A. because he's coming from the Golden State Warriors L.A. most rival...
