And if you're gonna lose a player, I think or lose a type of player, that is the type of player that I think they can come back from losing because they don't need another ball handler unnecessarily.

They don't need another scorer unnecessarily.

They have that covered between K D and Kyrie and again lover Tonton.

I think they will be hurt much more if they lost one of their better shooters, like Joe Harris or something like that.

I think this team is gonna be fine.

They still, in my view, are gonna end up being the best team in the East when we get to the playoffs.

Yeah, Dominic, I can't believe you.

The disrespect to Spencer deal with now I gotta Now I gotta address you like the numbers on the house, because here's the fact of the matter.

Spencer Din with is a 65 combo guard, a big guard that plays great defense, always shooting the passing lanes, getting steals.

That's on the defense event.

When you look at him offensively offensively, he's a guy that could play with the ball in his hands and facilitate for others, and he could play off the ball.

He's an underrated facilitated for his playmaking, and last season he finished at the top of the charts and isolation plays, meaning that either he was getting a bucket are getting assists for the bucket.

He's clutch, and I last time I checked.

I haven't seen a team that have won the championship without having a Big three, and Spencer did with.

He makes up that big three, although he did get off to a slow start this season.

Let's not forget, he's still the all Star caliber player, and we have to remember that.

So when you look at the production that Spencer did with brings to the table, they can't replace that.

And I hear you talking about putting carries Levert into the starting lineup.

Okay, cool.

But you're taking away the depth from the bench.

So who's gonna be that guy?

A bench?

Get you?

No, But what I'm saying, they have no choice.

So with that being said is, I think way discredit or don't respect Spencer deal with it like we should.

He's a all star type player and it just still gonna miss him.

And I don't see the Nets making the finals without Spencer.

Then, with so on one hand, I agree with pretty much everything.

Kendrick just said, Um, you know, the point about the death is really smart in particular, because if they do move, avert.

That's a huge lossy.

It's funny how quickly right teams going, like at one point, the Nets looked like the deepest team in the league, and it's amazing how just one losing one player races, that they could trade for a guard.

By the way, this puts them out of the James Harden sweepstakes, which is an important factor in all list.

That's no longer a non option, if it ever was.

I also agree about the importance of din witty in particular, because you want to have the option of playing Kyrie either on or off the ball.

Steve Nash prefers that, and you lose that Optionality.

All of that is true.

That said, the question is, can they reach the finals without din witty And I still think they can because they're in the East Perk now.

If they were in the West, I would say Hell, no.

Okay, but because they're in the because the level of competition there and because of how dynamic Katie and Kyrie a r a shooters, I still think they can reach the finals.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with the NFL player over the MBA player here.

It feels really good kids Kendrick Kendrick and showed up today dressed like Suge Knight on the cover of Vibe, and you let him intimidate you a little bit.

So you gave him a lot of credit that he didn't necessarily deserves.

He already knows basketball better.

Hey knows he's very close.

It's intimidating the way he's leading.

Given that Debo lean, it's intimidating, but it's obviously knows more about basketball than both of us.

But I think you can be too close to a situation and I think you really respect.

I think you you respect Spencer dinner with a great deal and we all do.

We all know he's very good, but if the question is can they get out of the final get to the finals?

So now you think that they're dead, they can't get your Yeah, you're willing to cross the nets off the list today?

because of that.

I don't think that's the case.

Other people are gonna get hurt.

Other people gonna have issues.

There's no disrespect to Spencer Dinwiddie.

It's probably better for them to have this happen at this point in the season as they're still building their team.

Yeah, but we can't go off if other teams, if other players, they're going to get on other teams because if if was 1/5 will all be drunk and mean.

I'm sorry for your loss if you choose to roll with Dominique when I'm sitting up here dressed like a pastor trying to give you this this great gospel this morning.

And what I'm telling you is, is that when you look when you look at look at the Brooklyn Nets.

Just look at the Brooklyn Nets.

Last two games, Okay, when Katie and Kyrie did play against the against the against Charlotte, alright, they lost that game specially did.

With the play 15 minutes.

I guarantee you, it's Spitzer did with it, didn't get hurt.

They would have won that game when Kyrie and K D are not having out when they're not having great shooting nights or not producing well Spencer did with it.

Is that guy we have to remember?

He is.

He built this culture with the Brooklyn Nets.

He made this team relevant again.

He made this team I candy.

He was the one performing at a high level G.

M's rave about Spencer did win it.

Spencer.

Deal with it is a starting point guard in this league.

At 65 you don't find big guards like him that plays both ends of the floor.

I know I'm right.

I'm just trying to explain to you why I'm telling you you are wrong.

It mean is wrong that the East is not weaker.

The got better.

You look at you.

Look at the Milwaukee Bucks.

They're better.

The Miami Heat, They're still there.

The Boston Celtics have got better.

You can't count out Toronto.

God knows you don't want to count out the Indiana Pacers.

So what I'm saying is, yes, Kyrie and Katie are phenomenal.

We all know this, but you still need that third option guy that's gonna deliver with a high I Q expensive.

Then with to reach that goal of going to the finals.

Even the Lakers had it.

They had playoff Rondo?

Yeah.

Who's the books?

I got books Don't have it.

But I just like that that he just said that they're worse than Charlotte now, because then we have got hurt.

Now they're worse than Charlotte.

Okay, Did not.

We're making all these statements.

It's so early on in the season.

Anything can happen.

We really have to set her expectations high for any team you know, But also, guys sensor dignity.

He also had an a c l tear back in college, it was his left a c l.

During his junior year of Colorado.

This time around, it was his right.

But he has success in healing these injuries.

So again, we wish him a speedy and successful recovery.
