Thanks guys for showing up today😂. Happy 4th to you and yours.
Gosh!!! This show is basically 2 'ladies' screaming at each other!! So irritating!! 😂😂😂

Nick and Brou's playful tension and Wildes being the instigator is the funniest bit lately😂
Sure, but we all know it's Nick's show... am I wrong?

Brou screaming that the Spurs sent Kawhi OUT OF AMERICA like they sent him to Guantanamo or sth was freaking hilarious 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they sent him to another nation
He threw in the “continental United States,” too! 😂😭
@@ManUntdForever 🤣🤣🤣 I lost it when said that
I mean asking to be traded to LA. And being traded to Toronto is a big difference
Broussard should recheck his notes on regional geography. Kawhi Leonard was only out of the US, and not America. Let me remind him that North America includes US, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland, Panama, Pueto Rico, Costa Rica, and others. This is what happens when you add too much embellishments to your analysis.
"THEY SENT HIM OUT OF THE COUNTRY"😭😭😭😭😭😭 These guys are something else
Is it possible the Max Kellerman join FS1?
@@sandworld1432I can’t see Max working for FOX in any capacity tbh, but anything is possible. 🤷♂️
I like how hyperbolic Broussard can get. That was hilarious 😆 😂

Ben Simmons ain't fooling any smartass with those pre season workout videos
As soon as he said, that, I immediately went to the comments to see who quoted it. 😂

I died laughing so loudly
It hit different when these are the only broadcaSTARS that didn’t take the fourth off. Happy 4th everyone 🇺🇸
I was thinking the same
I thought it was a re run
It do hit different lol
It hit different when fyb j mane infiltrates sports 😂
Colin Cowherd didn't
ESPN fired their first string, so I am guessing they are down to the third string over there today. Don't know; I have that garbage blocked.
" They sent Kawhi out the country. They sent Kawhi to Canada. Get out of America Kawhi"
Lmaooo that's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
That ish had me crying 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
“THEY SENT HIM TO ANOTHER NATION”
I’m literally in tears because of this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When they brought this up yesterday he failed to mention Kawhi but he made up for it today
“Ben Is A Shell Of Himself & I Hate To Say It, But That’s An Insult To Shells” Is Craaaaazyyy
😂😂😂
We at least know shells can close...

"Ok, you don't hate to say it" from Nick is golden.
The Kawhi bit killed me 💀💀💀
Not really but I guess you found it funny

If any team has a solid 6-8 man roster & ability to spend, having Dame & Ben Simmons on the same team is a low risk high reward chance worth taking i.e. Miami or Boston
I’m afraid to say this is my favorite trio in sports talk. Every time I do they break them up.
But do you consider them a big three or a trio? 😂😂😂😂

Fox should try to move it to an earlier time
Any GM that would trade for Ben Simmons should be investigated.
if you want to tank for the next 2 years you'll get him
By the CCP because he's going to the Guangdong Tigers.
gotta keep this trio together. this the real big 3
Ben is a shell of himself and then apologizing to shells is sooo hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
Ben just needs to go do it and not think about it. Also he and Zion need to get in the gym. If Zion can can drop to the size and physique of let's say Giannis, he can be a threat again.
The one thing Nick misses is that when a superstar names a team he wants to be traded to there is also pressure on the team requested to make the deal. Once it gets into the local media and talk shows that a superstar wants to be traded to you, you almost HAVE to get it done. That’s one reason they always end up where
They want go
Great point
Melo to NY... Denver still got a huge haul...
I'm sure there are more dame fans than actual blazers fans lol
Facts but I expect Miami to get it done
Completely irrelevant. If a star wants your team you give up everything except other stars. But Miami has nothing. Even if they give everything.
Chemistry is unmatched. Please keep this show together Fox. Lol
They CANNOT break them up
Bring in key Shaun Johnson! - said no oner Ever
Unlike loud ESPN guys, these guys are having fun and they sound like they respect one another. They listen to one another. Nick is really good at this, and Brou has never been better than paired with Nick.
That San Antonio Spurs decision to send Kwahi Leonard to Canada must be one of the biggest backfires in NBA history ! 😂
Not really 😵💫
@@vincente4570 what you talking about? It was your wrong thats that your opinion is wrong so im changing it to it was a backfire

That’s an insult to shells 😂😂😂
Kawhi literally won a championship with Toronto and still left immediately, how much more evidence does Nick need to know Toronto wasn’t Kawhi’s trade preference?
Yea but Kawhi never gave a list of teams so your argument is irrelevant
@@dawsonmayes4898Never gave a list publicly, bro doesn’t have social media so you can’t say he never said it
He never had a preference, Nick is saying when a player has a preference he always goes there. You and Brou keep missing the point on purpose.
@@draco747 You cant say he did so he is irrelavant to this topic. This is only about players who publicly pick where they want to go, Like AD, MELO, DWIGHT, KD, HARDEN..ETC...PG and Kawhi just wanted out they didnt care where they were sent
@@BobbyMarley718I’m pretty sure Kawhi had a preference to go to LA
Broussard had me crying😂 they sent him out the country!
"I hate to say it but that's an insult to shells" 😂😂😂😂
“They sent Kawhi out of the NATION!” 😂😂😂
I feel like everyone is missing the main point of the "give the superstar what he wants" idea. I'm really not sure why nobody is making the argument for Portlands behalf.
It has nothing to do with Dame. I don't expect an organization to cripple themselves just to be nice or respectful to a good person. That's not how business works. It is about future acquisitions though. Especially if you're somewhere like Portland (no offence to the area, it actually seems nice but players never seem too interested in playing there for whatever reason). If you rebuild back into a competitive situation and need a star piece from free agency to make a run, the last thing you want that star to think about is how poorly you treated the last guy when he wanted out.
Yes, they'll give Dame what he wants, but because even if it isn't the best offer, it's the best business decision. Not to mention a huge negative fanbase outcry for a beloved idol.
Correct. Because if you do "bad" by Dame. Then why would another star want to go there. It's Portland.
Agreed. There's pure business and then there's the soft side of it. There is some merit to an organization needing to show that it's "friendly" to superstars. But that only goes to a certain point. They are running a business. You don't give your assets away for less than fair value. The fact is that everyone at the trailblazers will be impacted by this. There's some accountant that won't get a raise if Dame leaves because the tickets sales will plummet. There's a hot dog vendor who will lose his job because the stadium will be empty. It's not ALL about Dame.
Like I said. Do right by your player. If not, try to talk to the player and see if he’ll stay for at least the 23-24 season.
Being friendly to superstars hasn't gotten Portland any yet....that won't change being nice to Dame. Better for them to just get better assets and win like Denver - thru the draft directly.
The only player that didn’t go where he wanted was Kawhi because Pop was just fed up with him and wanted anything in return
DeRozan wasnt a bad trade
And as mentioned Paul George
Plus they didn’t want him in the west
Pop wanted DeRozan and got him when clearly Kawhi didn't wanted to go to Canada, that's the point!
Kyrie had to threaten and didn’t go where he wanted
Miami has to get a three team trade setup because their offer is pretty bad
This show is just magical. Gonna be talking about this trio for a long time
"I hate to say it but thats an insult to shells" 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 that had me fr
The evolution of this show is awesome. Been here since the beginning and enjoyed it but never thought it could be this good
broussards ability to keep a straight face through, Ben Simmons being an insult to shells, is truly impressive :P
No joke but the Nets would have to give Ben Simmons away - with expectations of almost nothing in return.
Not just that. Simmons’ contract is huge and no team is going to give up salary contracts to match it straight up because Simmons has negative value.
The Nets can’t just give him away, they’re also probably gonna have to *attach things to him* to convince teams to take him.
Nets would have to attach some picks that, if they want someone to accept his contract.
The spurs should go get him
Ben Simmons for a 2025 2rd pick and $40 Kohl’s cash
Nets want to see what Ben Simmons can do this upcoming season. Nets have no interest in giving up more than 1draft pick for Herro.
Dam, Brou was cooking yesterday and grilling today!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
This show is GOATED even during the SUMMER⁉️ 🔥🔥
portland needs to do what is best for them
🔥🔥🔥 keep grinding !!
It’s crazy that Portland is not valuing Tyler Herro when he was #1 scorer for Miami, a proven clutch player, and a 6th man of the year when he was coming off the bench. Yet they valued Jeremi Grant to an insane contract and he is not as good as Tyler Herro.
Who would send value for Herro? He’s a good player but since everyone knows he needs to be traded his return package is wildly deflated. That’s just the market. Portland is for sure not taking him
He is white
@@dreamone8702 too much 😂
That’s an insult to Shells have to be the coldest line I heard this summer 🤣
Broussard ALWAYS interrupts people
“That’s an insult to shells” 😂
7:03 Nick puckered up real quick when Chris slammed the desk 😂
😂 I knew I wasn’t the only one who noticed that. Nick better stop playing with Broussard! Lmao.
😂😂😂 I Love these guy’s
I was on Dame’s side before, but if he really is insisting on only one team, that’s a bit much, he should give the team at least 3 or 4 options so they can get some bidding going.
He's already sacrificed his time, health and showed his loyalty to the organisation, and they've completely failed him for like 8 years. At the very least he should be able to go and compete where he wants to, Portland would've been nothing without him and they took him for granted.
@@TrueGuardifyYou pay no attention to basketball or business with this comment. Dame signed a deal to be in Portland with no gun to his head. A deal that impacted portlands ability to grow. They also had very good teams during his tenure as a blazer. Portland wants the kings playbook and has been showing it to Dame for years. Bru is correct.
That’s irrelevant. Portland gonna rebuild and possibly tank this season regardless if they have dame or not. Having draft picks should be way more important than getting a young star (which you already have) because you’re in rebuilding phase. And the funny thing is, portland ain’t winning anything even if they got the “best” deal they want 😂
Coming from a heat fan no he doesn't he did right saying he only wants to come to us.😂
The "OKLAHOMA FREAKING CITY" part was hilarious
Nick Wright is not a Blazers fan. He's not employed by the Blazers. Who is he to be the arbiter of what a good deal is for them? And then criticize them for not respecting Dame because there's not enough of a return?
It's a logical house of cards just because he wants, for whatever reason, to see Dame get what he wants even if it's to the detriment of the franchise and fans that have supported him for over a decade.
Network beef 😂😂
17:10 Ben is a shelf of himself. I hate to say it but thats an insult to shells. 😂😂😂😂
Bru was cooking with the jabs today 😂🤣🤣🤣
This is one of Brou’s best segments lmao
I agree with Chris. The league caters to stars way too much. Dame has made 500 million from his CHOICE to stay in Portland. The ownership of the trailblazers has an obligation to the fans and the head coach first and foremost
Dame has made the franchise far more money than they have paid him and it is not even close. Billions in marketing, jersey sales, extra playoff games, ticket sales, etc its not even close. I hate the argument that “x player got paid 100s of millions” when we never talk about how much money they have made they owners as well
@@Juggajay7 What does that have to do with the trade
It sucks because now I'm soured on Dame. Say what you want about CP3 but he understands its business not personal. He should expand his options because at the end of the day There are other places he can win a chip with it doesn't have to be miami.
The problem with the KD comparison is that when he initially asked for the trade the Nets didn’t oblige and they forced him to stay. The only reason they ended up trading him to Phoenix is because Kyrie getting traded took them out of contention so it was in Brooklyn’s best interest to rebuild. The Suns new ownership basically forced James Jones’ hand to trade almost all their assets for him and they ended up getting a great return for him.
Whoever did the tabs is hilarious
Best show now! Fun to watch
These guys have been my favorite sports show now for years.
Someone has obviously told Broussard to turn up the volume. Hes shouting and interrupting Nick constantly.
4:00 saving for future use 😂
“That’s an insult to shells” 🤣
Blazers are not in the business of making other more popular teams better nor doing whats best for dame at their expense. They shouldn't get fleeced, dame goes to the team with the best offer.
I agree. For an organization like Portland it’s going to be difficult winning a championship for the foreseeable future. They don’t get free agents, but they also don’t take risk. When I look at the Mavericks, they’re a team that doesn’t get free agents either. However they took a risk to get Kyrie, in hopes of making Luka happy. This is important to note because Scoot is looking like the future of Portland. If he turns into a superstar he may not be as loyal as Dame. Especially if he sees the franchise isn’t willing to go all out to build a winner around him.
Brou came out guns blazin! Straight 🔥🔥🔥
The fear of the miami heat by the media/league is glorious 😂❤
😂❤
Except the nuggets
Nobody scared of the heat bro
YALL DELUSIONAL YALL THINK YOU ALL ABOUT TO GET AN ALL STAR IN EXCHANGE OF SOME BENCH PLAYERS AND TEN YEAR FROM NOW DRAFT PICKS
Bru will not stop with this Dame Boston talk nobody is even talking about them as a possibility 😂
don't underestimate the ten toes guy
Chris Broussard was hilarious on this one! 🤣🤣🤣
Nick Wright is a young Skip Bayless, and that's not a compliment
Truthfully Brou is 100% right, if you take the love and respect for dame out of it, thats the way you do it, you dont wanna make a beal type deal......that would just be a waste
If I’m blazers.. I asked heat for bam.. when they say no I tell dame they don’t want you as much as you want them next team please
Yeah right 😏
I agree , Bam and Hero and some picks.
💯💯
Broussard blasted Nick passionate analysis
NBA teams deporting their disgruntled stars to Toronto would be a hilarious trend to start
Nick getting cooked again. Broussard is the MVP!
Nick likes to say that everything that disproves his points is “ridiculous” when Brou was just speaking facts about previous player’s examples
21 minutes?! We’ve been blessed
Easily becoming my favorite sports show
this whole conversation about giving dame what he wants is dumb. If they give Dame away without getting something back the entire organization suffers. Lower tickets sales affects everyone.. From the accounting department to the hot dog vendor. Dame decided to re-sign with Portland, because he wanted that max contract. Now he wants to be traded no matter what. It's dumb.
No. They don't. Getting off of Dame contact is a win for the organization. Having Sharpe, and Scoot, and maybe Simons, with alot of cap space in 3 years is a win for Portland regardless.
@@xcwilliams7980THEY DONT WANNA GET OFF HIS CONTRACT DOE WOW WTF WRONG WITH YOU
Brou was pretty funny in this clip
Why are these panels so dam chaotic!
Dwight Howard wanted to go to Brooklyn. Steve Nash even said that about Dwight and how the whole time he wanted to be in Brooklyn.
Stop letting brou turn into Chris Carter. He is doing entirely too much talking over you Nick so stand up for yourself!
Mannnn shut up. Nick always cutting somebody off when they are speaking
He deserves it with his awful grandstanding as a Chiefs D rider
@@richborn6700 huh
Kevin Garnett requested a trade to LA and flat out said he didn’t want to go to Boston. How did that work out?
Stop lying, his choices were down to Boston and L.A., and when he couldn't get in contact with Kobe, he chose Boston.
@@dreddmann6532that and McHale being a Wolves GM who still bled Green for Boston would have done whatever possible to avoid giving a prime KG to LA
No love for the Mayor of Fair campaign poster at the end?😅😅 Great poster who love this show and the camaraderie.
Classic 😂😂😂😂 Nick & Chris
So true, nobody wants to go to Canada lol 😂. Brousard is on fire today. This reminds me of when Stafford wanted out of Detroit. Lions fans wanted the best for Stafford but also wanted a capable qb and draft picks.
1) It's cool Kyrie wanted to go to the Minnesota Timberwolves 🐺
2) It's even more cool we said NO 💪
We already have more than enough problems shopping KAT and suffering with Rudy. I'm glad we paid Ant and retained NAW and Naz. We getting younger and quicker, don't need a diva ball hog who plays less than 60 a season
Broooooo!💀 “A insult to shells” IM WEAKKKKKK
omg best sports talk show right now🤣🤣🤣
they started out the show hating on nick I love it 😂😂😂😂
Every show is a good show when they all hating on slick Nick 🫡 Bru was particularly articulating on target on today! Made some valid points regarding Teams compensation no team should give away all stars for players they simply don’t want (herro) particularly players that have little value to that franchise who loaded on guards.
how is the heat not getting charge for tampering? It obvious if the 76ers and the knicks are tampering how is this not im confused
It’s overlooked when it’s good for headlines & revenue
Brou loves Jovic man I love it😂😂😂
This is the best show as of right now in my opinion
Kawhi knew he only had to play the rest of the season and he was a free agent so it didnt matter where he was traded. 🤷♂️
Actually on Chris side of this Portland doesn’t really owe him anything.
I mean for all his “but he’s been loyal talk” it’s not like Portland hasn’t tried this entire time. Even thought it never worked (some of that is also dames fault …check the year they got swept by New Orleans and in the conference finals)
And side not to a prior show… if you believe Kyrie is living off of one shot … you gotta say dame has been living off of two
true
To narrow those two players careers down to 1/2 shots just isn’t fair they’ve both balled out there whole career?
@@scarlxrd1466 just to clear that up . I’m more referring to someone on the show that says that about kyrie … was more stating if you’re gonna say that about him you could use that towards dame…. I wouldn’t actually break down someone career to a couple shots
Do you think future free agents feel like the blazers owe Dame nothing?
@@xcwilliams7980 I think that further free agents if will go if they get over paid like what happens in a lot of other cases and that we talk about big names were never going anyways so I don’t truly think it’s any different
take a shot every time Chris interrupts somebody
see y'all in Valhalla
Kd to Phoenix is bad example cuz they had the best package by far...
We need an example of a better deal getting turned down over preferred destination.....is there one??
Ben Simmons isn’t going anywhere.
Yeah, because there’s no market for him
Seems like every team is reaching
He's done after his contract expired. I don't see anyone who is desperate enough to sign him unless he shows major improvement
@@KnightOfZero117 Dillon Brooks just got 80m man, to quote KG: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
@@RD-zx6py There's a big difference between Brooks and Simmons. Brooks not scared he can still play. Simmons is a shell of his former self
Nick Wrong back at it again, did Kawhi wanted to go to Canada or Kyrie to Boston? Some recent examples of when star players demanded a trade.
Fish brain, thats contageous. Its like they forgot THEY reported when AD said I want LA OR BOSTON... Its just amazing how slowly Nick turns this show into ESPN.
kawhii had no relationship with the spurs at that point he was estranged. dont revise history. kyrie did not pick a team he wanted to go to via trade he simply said he wanted out.
@@ubadman1 Okay, fair. Should Portland damage their future with a bad Miami deal. They have nothing... Brooklyn, Boston, Philla, Clippers, NP have plenty to offer.

I'm really like the vibe of this trio
Bru is a PHENOMENAL REPORTER
Not surprising the Nets want to trade Ben Simmons for Dame. He was a shell of himself last season and wasn't the same player. Also the reason of the hold up with the Dame trade is that what they can get in return and if they need a third team to make this trade happen. I still believe Dame will go to the Heat but it's only a matter how much they can get back with players and picks.
I say try to keep herro and give up Lowry and oladipo with some picks
@@chrisp7673nobody wants that Tyler Hero has to be in
True. But Portland better do right by this dude and not be selfish and getting value. Because think about it. The NFL force Green Bay to get over themselves and take the final offer by the Jets. Jus sayin 😊
Nets not giving up more than one draft picks for Herro. Marks is not running a charity organization. Nets are not eager to trade Ben Simmons. They want to see what he has left. He's looking good in private workouts. It take a while to fully recover from back surgery.
Brou with the oldhead anti player take. Who is surprised!
