We're talking NBA trade machine 9 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: deadline eight days away. In the massive news that broke 10 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: about twenty minutes ago that Jannis ante Compo has told 11 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: the Bucks he's ready to move on and he would 12 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: love a deal, maybe by the trade deadline, if not 13 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: during the offseason. The thirteen year relationship appears to be ending, 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 2: and Shams Tarania has said that multiple teams have already 15 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: reached out to the Bucks, not the surprise, seeing what 16 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: it might take to pry the future Hall of Famer 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: away and see what the Bucks are looking for. Is 18 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: it young players, is it draft picks, is it all stars? 19 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: Whatever the case may be, and it's got us talking 20 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: about what the Wolves might do. Would the Wolves be 21 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: players in the Yannis sweepstakes? You know, it's probably a 22 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: long shot, I would think, but you know, you never 23 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: say never. And we both feel like, if it costs you, 24 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: you know, a tantalizing talent like Jaden McDaniels, you know, 25 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: you may have to include a guy like Randall in 26 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: the deal. Would you do that deal? And we sort 27 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: of looked at the lineup as it might look. Probably 28 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: willing to roll the dice with this Anthony Edwards window 29 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: wide open to put those two players together on the 30 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: same team and fill around them. But again, there's gonna 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: be a lot of tantalizing offers. I still think Houston's 32 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: the ultimate destination. I don't know how interested they are, 33 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: if at all, but I look at the assets they have, 34 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: I could see them coming up with the compelling offer 35 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: for Milwaukee. The Wolves, on the other hand, probably going 36 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: to be doing something a little smaller. I got a 37 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 2: friend whose birthday is today, Happy birthday, Jeff. He wrote 38 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: me yesterday and asked me to ask Britt Robson, who 39 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: I had on talking about Wolve's potential trades, about a 40 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 2: guy he went to Arizona. So he's an Arizona guy 41 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: and he loves TJ McConnell. And you know, as again, 42 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: we're not looking for major moves necessarily, but something that 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 2: might move the needle. You look at what TJ McConnell 44 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: did in the playoffs for the Pacers last year. He's 45 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: a really nice player and the kind of point guard 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: that might be a nice fit for this team. I 47 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: could see that. Again. I promised I would look at 48 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: Drew holliday salary. I didn't, so Brett, you could do that. 49 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: Nature called happens. I can't do both. I have time 50 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: to do both. It takes me too long to to 51 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: deal with anything else. So if you could look up 52 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: Drew Holliday's salary situation, that would be great, and t 53 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: J McConnell's as well. It's a little homework for Brett blakemore. 54 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: But as a as a player, trend uh, TJ McConnell, 55 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 2: your thoughts turn. 56 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 3: I got to play Indiana last year. Yes, he wouldn't 57 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: be I I could. Yeah, he would be a good thing. 58 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: He's one of those guys that you hate him because 59 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: he's just it's tough. He is, he plays hard, and 60 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: he's he's just a he's an accurate He just aggravates you. 61 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: He will defend the ball. 62 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: Ye make some house of plays, and and you need 63 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: some house of plays to go your way at playoff time. 64 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: You know, you need guys. 65 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: Who are who are willing and able, you know, to 66 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: get you an extra possession here or there. And from 67 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: his position, I saw him a year ago make some 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: of those plays, you know, to give Indiana a chance 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 3: to be successful in the ball games. And now you 70 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: can't go wrong by having guys like that on your team. 71 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: TJ. McConnell. 72 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: His cap hit is about eleven million, give or take 73 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: eleven point eight. 74 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: Do we know how many years he's signed for. 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: He is signed through. He'll be a UFA in twenty 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: nine to thirty. 77 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 2: Oh, so he's he's a guy you'd have for a 78 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: few years, although he's got to be thirty now. I 79 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: would think something close to that field thirty three actually 80 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: thirty three. 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe Holiday, the Trailblazers point guard, thirty two point 82 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: four million dollar cap hit. He will he'll be a 83 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: UFA twenty eight twenty nine, So that's a pretty significant increase. 84 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a thirty million dollar guy that you're 85 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: going to have for three years, and he's how old 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: is he? Here? We say he is thirty five, thirty five. 87 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: I think I'm out and Drew. I love Drew. I 88 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: think I'm out and Drew at that price point those 89 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 2: drafted in two thousand and nine. I love him. He 90 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: was long. He was my favorite player on the Bucks, Like, 91 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: I love that. But at thirty plus million, again, you're 92 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: gonna have to trade a thirty plus million type player away. 93 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: So are you going to give up a nas or 94 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: a Randal? Not for him, but for a younger talented 95 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: point gud. You know you wouldn't You could have that 96 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: conversation for sure, not for I thought he may have 97 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: had a year left or something, maybe two, and then 98 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: you could roll the dice with that. But three years 99 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: that's a long time. Yeah, it's interesting, Like did try 100 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: to go get a Kobe White who might be gettable? 101 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: But then you know that you got to convince him 102 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 2: over the next few months that this is a place 103 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: to stay. A guy that reportedly has wanted to test 104 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: free agency and this is his opportunity, and so it 105 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 2: might just be a rental already make them more of 106 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: a commitment to a guy you know you're going to 107 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: have for a while. There's so many. 108 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 3: Yes, the yeah, they got a lot of things to 109 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: think about, they do, but they know that they need 110 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: to field that position if they're going to stay in 111 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 3: this window with a chance to win the championship. Whether 112 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: it happens that the trade deadline or going into the 113 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 3: off season, that is the one position that I believe 114 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: that they are going to have to seriously sit down 115 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 3: in a dress. And I'm surprised at this point, going 116 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: into what took place last year in the Western Conference 117 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 3: Finals and the year before that, they didn't look at 118 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 3: this situation more seriously. 119 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: This passed offseason. Well, let's go back to two drafts 120 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 2: ago when they made the trade. They traded a future 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: number one pick to move up to number eight, and 122 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: they drafted Rob Dillingham. And you have to believe when 123 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 2: they made that pick that was their guy. They figured, Okay, 124 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: that's going to be the succession plan to Mike Conley. 125 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: We're going to take a young Rob Dillingham who we 126 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 2: saw for one year at Kentucky. He didn't start, but 127 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: he was like the sixth man of the year in 128 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: the SEC. We saw that the ability was there. We 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: think he can be our point I have to believe, 130 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: what is he six feet I mean, one hundred and 131 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: sixty pounds. They had to believe he was going to 132 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: be the chance to be their point guard. And maybe 133 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: they'll hope that is the case. We've seen very little 134 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: yet that he's anywhere near ready to play serious minutes 135 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: for a team that's looking to win a championship. And 136 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 2: maybe that's just bad timing that maybe when he's twenty five, 137 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: twenty six he'll be that guy, and maybe he won't be. 138 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: But I have to feel like they didn't just ignore 139 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: that spot trend. I think that was their plan, was 140 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: that's our guy. Maybe they picked the wrong guy at 141 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: number eight to be the point guard of the future, 142 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: at least of the very near future. Yeah, I mean, 143 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: but if you looked at his game at Kentucky, you 144 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: could tell he was not a point guard. He was 145 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: the guy that came off the bench and provided offense. 146 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 3: And I still believe that before his career is all 147 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: said and done, if he's in a position in a 148 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: certain in another place, he still might be able to 149 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: do those things. But what the Wolves are asking him 150 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: to do, that's not the game that he plays, and 151 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: in this it's almost unfair for him. It is because 152 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: now you're putting me in a situation where I can't 153 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: be successful and that I'm gonna get criticized for. That 154 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: is because you're looking for something that I can't do, 155 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: and you drafted me hoping that I could adjust and 156 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: conform to becoming a prototypical point guard. That is that 157 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,679 Speaker 3: is very very hard and difficult to ask any player, 158 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: you know, to make that adjustment. It's very hard to 159 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: do that. But they they know going forward that point 160 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: guard position I think is first and foremost and then 161 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: second behind that. Do we believe we have the guy 162 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: now that's ready to replace Rudy Gobert? 163 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: Well, I think I think Baron Jay is the guy. 164 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say. I said, do we believe we have 165 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: the guys? I don't think we know yet. 166 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: And if we if we do, okay, then okay, then 167 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 3: that that situation there is taking care of. If we don't, 168 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: then we're going to have to make sure we address 169 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 3: that much sooner than. 170 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 2: Later, for sure. I mean, look, the this is a 171 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: team that's gotten to the conference finals a lot two years. 172 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: I think they felt like we are really close right 173 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: now and well, but. 174 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 3: You still have to get better because those other teams, 175 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: you know that could be in your way of making 176 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: a trip to the Western Conference finals, either this year 177 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: or over the next few years. 178 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: They're going to get better as well. 179 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: And you know, and the one thing you can't afford 180 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: to do as a team in any league is the 181 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 3: rest on what you did a year ago, because other 182 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: people are looking to add to their rosters and to 183 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 3: their teams to see how can we overcome what the 184 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 3: Wolves are doing? And and and the Wolves have to 185 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 3: stay in that same mindset. And I go back to 186 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 3: the Chicago Bulls and in the late eighties, Doug Collins 187 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: got them to the Eastern Conference finals, but Jerry Crows 188 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: and and and his staff along with the ownership, said, 189 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 3: but this is not enough. Something is missing. I got 190 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 3: the best player in the game, and we need to 191 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: make some changes here or there. And for them, they 192 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 3: had to change the system that Michael Jordan was in 193 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: to allow him steal to be the best player. But 194 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 3: the collection of talent that we have put around him 195 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 3: now so that it can flourish. Whether you have to 196 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 3: identify whether changes need to be made if you're going 197 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: to take that next step to get all the way 198 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: to the championship round? 199 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: And how much how important is it? Because we hear 200 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 2: and it certainly seems like this is a pretty tight team. 201 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: They're pretty close knit. We heard about it in the summer. 202 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 2: They were all working out together, practicing, trying to get 203 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: better as a team. That they enjoy each other's company, 204 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: that they're tightly knit. And if you're looking to, you know, 205 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: swing a big move, how dangerous is it that that 206 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: fragile chemistry that you can't always put your finger on 207 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: might get up ended if suddenly, for example, you move 208 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 2: Jaden out in a massive deal and the ringing in 209 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: a guy like Yannis or whatever it might be. That's 210 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: not gonna be a problem that maybe that's too far 211 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: on that side. 212 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I love you, man, I miss you, 213 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 3: But you know, business is business. 214 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just you know, when you hear a team 215 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: is close, that's good, right, I mean, yeah, you don't 216 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: want them to be so friendly together that they do. 217 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: But we still got to win. Yeah, that's number one. Yeah, 218 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 2: we still have to win. 219 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I can you know, I still could be 220 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: great friends with you, you know, see you doing the off 221 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: season you know, we all you know, have a have 222 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: enough money now where we can we can go places 223 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 3: and connect and meet, you know, doing the off season. 224 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: But but right now, the most important thing is that 225 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: how do we become better as a team. And sometimes 226 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 3: you you have to make moves that you may not 227 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 3: want to make, and being the leadership is hard. This 228 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 3: is why you are in that position, you know, to 229 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: identify what we need to do differently so that our 230 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: team can be better going forward. 231 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: I want to get back to the ask the professor 232 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 2: questions that we have at the branch on Brian KFA 233 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 2: and text line six four six eighty six, seven sixty three. 234 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: I wasked trying to talk more about his charity golf 235 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 2: and tennis events. It was a great memory as a 236 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: kid being out there taking pictures of Jordan KG, Governor 237 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: Van Shryock, Kirby, Pucket, Marcus Allen, et cetera. Don't remember 238 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 2: Marcus Allen being there. Yeah, Marcus Allen was there. I 239 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: don't know why I don't remember that. Yeah, you know, 240 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: it was. 241 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: You know for me to have a sports agent when 242 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: I was planning to introduce me to the philanthropic world, 243 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 3: and I I told him I said, if if I 244 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 3: ever get into a position, you know, where I could 245 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: carry on some of the things that you allowed me 246 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 3: to be a part of when I was a player, 247 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: I would love to be able to give back. But 248 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: also grow up in Flint, Michigan, you know, I had 249 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 3: so many community members and organizations that allow kids in 250 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 3: that environment to have a chance to be successful. They 251 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: provided opportunities for us, and it takes an entire community, 252 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: you know, to give kids a different outlook in life. 253 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 3: And my foundation and Flint, you know, gave us that. 254 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: And so some of the things I was able to 255 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: remember about my childhood, you know, allow me to think 256 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 3: forward about, you know, how could I give back if 257 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 3: I was in a position to do so. And I 258 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 3: was very fortunate and lucky enough, you know, to have 259 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 3: you know, enough friends and people who I had connected with, 260 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 3: you know, doing my journey to allow me to come 261 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 3: back and do this, and they could be a part 262 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: of it. And when you're lucky enough to get a 263 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: player like a Michael Jordan or Scottie Pippen or Patrick 264 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 3: Ewing and just some of the guys who came Truck Robertson, 265 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: all the guys who came you and and you're out 266 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 3: what they sent a sense of hope to the kids 267 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: that you're trying to help because young people today they 268 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: need us, you know, to to create platforms so that 269 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 3: they can have a chance to find their way of life. 270 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: And when you see a young person that seems like 271 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: they are struggling and they are lost, all you're trying 272 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: to do is to create a different thought process to 273 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: let them know that if they're willing to do X, 274 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: Y and z, you know, things can be different. But 275 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: it takes people to come into forefront to create those 276 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 3: opportunities for them. 277 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: And I love the fact that your nonprofit here really 278 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: was targeting those middle school age kids, which is such 279 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 2: an important time and sometimes forgotten because you hear about 280 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: helping out the young kids or helping out the high 281 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 2: school kids, and you really focused in that, you know, twelve, thirteen, 282 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: fourteen year olds where kids are really starting to figure 283 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: out life. And I know the impact you had on hundreds, 284 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: if not thousands of kids, but the money you raised, 285 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 2: but just thinking back to those years and hearing the 286 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 2: kids talking about what you meant to them and what 287 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: you did for them, I know that you've accomplished a 288 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: lot in your life. But I know that is something 289 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: you're so proud of it. Sure, you have relationships with 290 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: adults now that tell you what change you made for 291 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: them by giving them that opportunity. 292 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 3: To me, that is first and foremost than any other thing. 293 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 3: I was fortunate enough to be able to accomplish. It's 294 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: because somebody helped me, you know, along the way. And 295 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever told you this story. You know, 296 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 3: that was a period of time when I was five 297 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 3: or six or seven years old. I was homeless for 298 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 3: a brief moment. You've never told me that. And moving 299 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: from North Carolina to Flint, Michigan. You know, it was 300 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: a different transition from my family. And it was hard 301 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: for my father to find a job at that time, 302 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: and he had a successful business in North Carolina and 303 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: it was kind of taken away, and so we had 304 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 3: to make a significant move. And so you go to 305 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 3: a whole new environment, not knowing anybody, and you're trying 306 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: to find a way to make it. And so for 307 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 3: a brief point of time, I didn't have a place 308 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: to go. And his older brother says, hey, I don't 309 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 3: have much. I got a family as well, but I'm 310 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 3: gonna take you in. And the reason why I named 311 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: my son Willim Jesse is because of my uncle. My 312 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: uncle gave me a place to go when I didn't 313 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 3: have a place to go, and I never forgot that. 314 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 3: And so I've always felt like that if you are 315 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: in a situation in a position to help somebody, why not, 316 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: it's because somebody helped me when I didn't have a 317 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 3: place to go. And that I've always told myself is 318 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 3: that if I was ever in a moment where somebody 319 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 3: was struggling, if I could give them a chance to 320 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: see a different way of doing things, that's got to 321 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: be the greatest thing that you can accomplish as a person. 322 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: And you're not asking for anything in return. The only 323 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 3: thing I'm asking is return is that that person tomorrow 324 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 3: has a different outlook on life. And that's what gave 325 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: me a chance, you know, to see a different world 326 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 3: and to see and look at people totally different. It 327 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 3: is because when you have a bad moment, you can 328 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 3: begin to judge everybody in a negative way. But all 329 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 3: of a sudden, you know, somebody comes along and gives 330 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: you a sense of hope that things can be different. 331 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 3: And I'm just hoping doing the times that we ran 332 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: on nonprofit along with the great staff that I had, 333 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 3: that we gave some people on if it's one a 334 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 3: chance to see something different. 335 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty safe to say you were able 336 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: to do that. I was fortunate enough to be in 337 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: a lot of those events of the Metropolitan the night 338 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: where those speeches man that you the waterworks would come 339 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 2: because you just knew the effect you were having on 340 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: so many families and young people. And yeah, I mean, 341 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: you want an NBA championship, you want a Big ten title. 342 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: You were an NBA player for ten years and here 343 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: you are thirty years plus from the NBA, And what 344 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 2: gives you the most sense of pride and accomplishment is that. 345 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: And that's as a human being, doesn't get any better 346 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: than that, you know, David. 347 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 3: I went into some of these young people's living conditions 348 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 3: and I was like, I was like, Wow, how can 349 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 3: this person make it living in this situation. I grew 350 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 3: up on the streets of Flint, Michigan, and I've seen 351 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 3: some really tough environments. But with some of the kids 352 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 3: I work with and some of the places that they 353 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 3: lived in, even to a person like myself, I said, 354 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,959 Speaker 3: I have no idea how you can have a smile 355 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 3: on your face living in these situations, but at that 356 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 3: time that was all they knew. And I said, at 357 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 3: that point, I'm gonna do everything within my power, along 358 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 3: with the people I work with, to see if I 359 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 3: can put you in a better situation, to see something different. 360 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: And that, to me has been the most rewarding thing 361 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 3: I think in my life, other than having my own family. 362 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: And I try to help my kids understand the same 363 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: thing that you know, giving back and getting to know 364 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 3: people and communicating and not judging someone based on what 365 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 3: you heard of what you've read. You know, dib have 366 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: a little bit deeper into their book, read their story, 367 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: sit down and talk with them, get to know them 368 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 3: as people, and then make your evaluation from there. And 369 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: I think if we all can begin to do some 370 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 3: of that as we move throughout this journey of life, 371 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: it's going to make. 372 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 2: A much better place for all of us to live in. 373 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: Here here, not sure what I can add to that, 374 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: it seems like a great place to step away. We'll 375 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: pause here, We'll come back and chat about more inname 376 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 2: things like sports. When we come back on the fan, 377 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: we are back eleven, twenty four. Well, the shorter segment 378 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: as I played catchup. We went a bit long on 379 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 2: that last segment, but I wasn't going to stop you 380 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: at all. That was some inspiring stuff and we've gotten 381 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: some great feedback on the Bradshaw Brian kfan text line, 382 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 2: So thank you for sharing that double t. I got 383 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: a text reminding us we were talking about your draft 384 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: and I didn't remember this until the Texter reminded me 385 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: that you remember who the last pick of the draft was, 386 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 2: the very last pick by the Celtics in eighty two. 387 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a reason I'm asking because it was 388 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 2: sort of a symbolic pick, if that helps. I carry 389 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: car Land and Turner, Yes, yes, yes, Land and Turner 390 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: power forward slash center for the Indiana Hoosiers, part of 391 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty one championship team with Isaiah Thomas, and 392 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 2: that following winter was paralyzed in a car accident around Nashville, Indiana, 393 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: which is very windy and they don't get a lot 394 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 2: of snow down there, and it was a wintery day 395 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 2: and he was in a wheelchair for the rest of 396 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 2: his life. I know he passed away a number of years, 397 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 2: not that long ago. 398 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 3: He was very good. He would have been the high 399 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 3: first round draft pick for sure. Yeah, he really came 400 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 3: along like he was a very raw player when he 401 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 3: came to Indiana and really improved commensally with Ray Tolbert 402 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 3: and that front court and obviously a great coaching Randy 403 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 3: Whitman was on that team. That's is the one thing 404 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: about you know, the antics and the greatness of Bobby Knight. 405 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: He did develop players to become better, he did. And 406 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: a land A Tourney was a really really good basketball player. 407 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: And you know Darryl Mitchell was a part of that 408 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: draft too. That same year he got draft bed Celtics 409 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: used to pick up as a cellis of free agent. 410 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 3: I know he was with the Celtics doing the exhibition season, but. 411 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: A Landa Tonet, yes he was. He was. He was 412 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 2: a good player. And now again was just a nice 413 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 2: pick by the Celtics to say you've you've you were 414 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: drafted by an NBA team because you would have been, yes, true, 415 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 2: if not for that tragic accident. Uh, we're talking NBA 416 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: trades and players that might be available. Uh three four 417 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: seven area code, not sure where that is, Hey Fallows, 418 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 2: how come no one mentions Russell Westbrook, you'd be perfect 419 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: off the bench. It's only making three point seven million. 420 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 2: Could get him for for d NP, Dilly and our 421 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: second also then in twenty six twenty seven we'd have Bones, Westbrook, 422 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 2: con and Dilley off the books and start fresh without 423 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 2: losing any major assets. Could Russell Westbrook would Well, you 424 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: know that's a big personality to put under your roster. 425 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 2: We've long long appreciated his game, the toughness he plays 426 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 2: with as long as he doesn't fire from three to two. 427 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 2: Often ask my concern, you know, would he would you 428 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: want him like stretch run on your bench unit coming in, 429 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: you know, nas Russell Westbrook, Clark, whoever else comes in 430 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: off the bench. Do you think that that's a Does 431 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: that add anything? Does it give you any reason to 432 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 2: think that could make a difference? 433 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 3: If I had somebody steady at my point guard position, 434 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 3: does have to be a big name. Could I find 435 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: a steady point guard and add Russell Westbrook to the 436 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 3: bench along with Deevin Chinzon. Yeah, I could see that working. 437 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 3: But I need somebody steady. I need a steady, steady 438 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 3: point guard mindset. 439 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 2: That's what I need. That's what I'm looking Tyas Jones 440 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 2: seven million bucks one year deal. He's on a team 441 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 2: in Orlando that's dealt with a lot of injuries and 442 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: they don't even know what they are because Bank Carol. 443 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: They've been better without ban Carro this year than with them. Again, 444 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 2: we always we fall into that one of us thing. 445 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 2: We've we've covered us for so long to come back. 446 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: I could take a look at that. Yeah, I don't 447 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: think you would have to give behold out to get 448 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 2: him if they were willing to make the trade. Yeah, again, 449 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: you have to match close to seven millions. You're gonna 450 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: have to give something back. But that's the kind of 451 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 2: point guard that could settle you down. You always are 452 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 2: concerned about teams pressing the Wolves and the playoffs, as 453 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: we've seen them do in recent years, and you just 454 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: have to be ready for that. 455 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 3: And when you have a team, and with this team, 456 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 3: a steady point Guary' is a guy that can make 457 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 3: open shots. You know, you know the idea point guard. 458 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 3: You know that we'll go along with talented guys who 459 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 3: could score. And the one guy who comes to mind 460 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: for me, I know that he's not available because he's 461 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 3: too old to play now. And I don't think I 462 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 3: see anyone that could fit his style of play. It 463 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 3: was Mary's Cheeks when he was in Philadelphia. He was 464 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: the perfect point guard Doctor j and Moses Malone and 465 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 3: Bobby Jones and Andrew Tony Is because he was steady, 466 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 3: didn't turn the ball over, solid defensively, and he made 467 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 3: every open shot and he knew that for him to 468 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 3: help this team to become better, the one thing he 469 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 3: had to add to his game with the ability to 470 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 3: knock down open jump shots because he was going to 471 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 3: be open. A guy like Tyas Jones may not have 472 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 3: the defensive mindset of a of a Marvey's Cheeks, but 473 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: I think his overall thought processify the game is being played. 474 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: You know, he could be very close to that eight 475 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 3: area code. Nope, sorry, wrong guy, This would be six' one. 476 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 3: Two what's your fondest memory from your time with The 477 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: gophers basketball?
