Hey y'all, take me back, bro. Take me back to 2009, 2010, when we were running through the ATL streets. Teague, what, what, what?
**Jeff Teague** (0:22)
Oh man, that was the best time of my life. Boy, I met y'all boys, man. Y'all changed my life. I was just a little green kid from Indiana. Boy, I ain't know nothing.
I get on a Hawks, boy, I ain't know nothing. Hey. These boys got me by the challenger. All type of stuff.
**Joe Johnson** (0:40)
Man, I'll tell, hey, hey, I'll tell the story.
One night we got in, it had to be by two, three in the morning. And me, you and Josh had a challenger. And we was on the freeway racing. I'm the only one got pulled over. Y'all ass kept going. I said, man, listen, I went on pulled over cause I don't want no problem. But he let me go any damn way. So, you know, cool. But, hey, hey, there was some good times, bro. There was some good times, you know, I hate it. You know, it had to end the way it did. But I always say it's the house that Dominique built. Hell, me, Josh and Teague, we put a little stucco. You know, we, we, we put some new lighting, you know, some new side and then Trey came in and renovated that thing. You know what I'm talking about? I think Jalen Johnson got a chance to redo the whole thing, bro. I'm just going to keep it 100, bro. I think this Hawks team is going to surprise a lot of people. Obviously, defensively, we can guard.
We just got to be able to score and rebound. I just think the size, like as much as I like the Flemmons kid from from Houston, I love him as from point guard perspective.
**Jeff Teague** (1:43)
Yeah.
**Joe Johnson** (1:44)
But we do need a little more beef down there, bro, to help them boys out, because that's really what hurt us against the Knicks.
**Jeff Teague** (1:50)
I don't know. I've seen that they had a trade in for like, people been talking about Jared Allen. If we can get Jared Allen.
**Josh Smith** (1:56)
Man, I'll take that.
**Joe Johnson** (1:58)
Hold on.
**Jeff Teague** (1:58)
Hold on.
**Joe Johnson** (1:59)
You all think Cleveland is going to get rid of-
**Jeff Teague** (2:00)
No. I mean, they got to get out of that second apron though. They're going to have to move some money around.
**Josh Smith** (2:06)
Yeah. Facts, because they wanted the top ones.
**Jeff Teague** (2:11)
They got one of the highest payrolls for sure. And Donovan Mitchell, he ain't holding back on nobody. He just got that new extension. He ain't playing around.
**Josh Smith** (2:19)
I put a ring on it. I just put a ring on it too. I got it.
**Jeff Teague** (2:22)
You feel me?
**DC Young Fly** (2:23)
I got to lock that thing in, bruh.
**SPEAKER_4** (2:25)
Yeah.
**Jeff Teague** (2:25)
I dig that.
**Josh Smith** (2:26)
I dig that.
**SPEAKER_4** (2:27)
Oh, yeah.
**Joe Johnson** (2:29)
Hey, the NBA has definitely...
The landscape of the league has changed, bro. You know, you look at from how the game is played now, it ain't no post players no more. You know, you probably got three post players, for real, for real, NBA, Jokic, who else?
**Josh Smith** (2:46)
So, I said they copied and pasted me.
**Joe Johnson** (2:48)
Yeah.
**Josh Smith** (2:49)
I copied and pasted them.
**Jeff Teague** (2:50)
It really ain't no post players.
**Joe Johnson** (2:52)
It's not, bro. It's not.
The game has changed, man. And, hey, the way they getting up and down the floor scoring these points, it's a guard heavy league.
**Jeff Teague** (3:02)
Boy, I wish I was just 10 years younger, boy, I didn't have to pass a ball to you. I mean, you guys. Hey, you know, my show a little different, cuz.
My show a little different, my fault, y'all.
**Joe Johnson** (3:15)
Hey, hey, hey, it's just, you know, you know, timing was a little different. You know, you got thrust into that, but you held your own, bro. But yeah, we needed that, we needed that peak teague, that teague when y'all was out here running the Eastern Conference, running, you know what I mean?
**SPEAKER_4** (3:30)
Yeah, that's the one. I ain't gonna lie, I was too young, bro.
**Jeff Teague** (3:33)
