Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to the Powers You Good Morning Show,
Speaker 2: Thursday edition. Ben Lever is here, Hi, Ben, Hello. We

Speaker 2: going to be here, and then Tommy was here anyway, but.
Speaker 3: Julia still, it's always awesome to have you on. Hey,
Speaker 3: thanks for having me. You may or may not be
Speaker 3: back in a couple of weeks. When the initials invitation
Speaker 3: was rolling around, we'll see if you get the invite.
Speaker 3: You never know, You never know. You just never know.
Speaker 2: Until the bracket is revealed. You never know unless you've
Speaker 2: got enough points last year to automatically qualify. Maybe you did,
Speaker 2: I did, all right, so then you're automatically telery. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll see who you square off against. When the brackets
Speaker 2: announced in a couple of weeks, should we do Fan five.
Speaker 2: Let's let's talk some sports for a second time.
Speaker 4: It's time for Fan five on the Power Trip, brought
Speaker 4: to you by the Saint Paul Saints.
Speaker 2: Right thanks to the Saint Paul Saints. A lot going
Speaker 2: on in the World Cup today. But the last game
Speaker 2: tonight is Turkey versus the US in Englewood, California, nine o'clock.
Speaker 2: But before that, Corrosal versus the Ivory Coast. That game
Speaker 2: is in Philly at three o'clock, Ecuador versus Germany and
Speaker 2: New Jersey at three as well, Japan versus Sweden and
Speaker 2: Arlington at six, Tunisia and the Netherlands in Kansas City.
Speaker 2: I wonder if partrip bets is gonna go at six
Speaker 2: o'clock and then Paraguay versus Australia in Santa Clara, California
Speaker 2: at nine. Whoa greasy, dumb question. Dumb question this is?
Speaker 2: This is just logistical. Maybe you guys can figure out
Speaker 2: the math free. How come most of the World Cup
Speaker 2: days there are four games, but now there's like six
Speaker 2: the last couple, I bet.
Speaker 5: Zach knows the answer, the idea why it's most of
Speaker 5: them were four, or now it's six?
Speaker 3: What are we doing here? What are we doing here?
Speaker 3: Go on? What's the goal here? Great? That's six today.
Speaker 6: I guess I wasted more time thinking about that in
Speaker 6: the last five seconds than I did ever before in
Speaker 6: my life.
Speaker 3: So thank you for that. But are you into the
Speaker 3: World Cup at all? Have you watched it? Do you
Speaker 3: like it? Do you share? Yeah, I'll put it on background. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like baseball right now. It's just all turned
Speaker 6: on and just whoever's playing is playing.
Speaker 3: What about nine pm?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 2: Will you go out of your way to watch the
Speaker 2: US or tonight? Tonight a meaningless game against Turkey?
Speaker 3: Got it? But once we get to the knockout round,
Speaker 3: you're in Oh a thousand percent? Julia? You two? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean I grew up.
Speaker 7: In a World Cup family, so we.
Speaker 3: Were like World Cup family when.
Speaker 7: The World Cup's happening, men's or women's, like everything comes
Speaker 7: to halt in the summer.
Speaker 3: Did one of your parents play soccer?
Speaker 7: No, but we all played soccer, so I think maybe
Speaker 7: that Are you good now? I'm not in Arkansas. You
Speaker 7: can't really be good at a whole lot of any thing.
Speaker 3: Come on, we'll wait Arkansas awesome. Huh sounds like it.
Speaker 3: Why can't you be good at sports? And you be
Speaker 3: good at like.
Speaker 7: Basketball and football because that's school related, but like soccer,
Speaker 7: you don't have like it's not like being here.
Speaker 3: Have we asked you this before?
Speaker 2: Is there do you know any high schools in the
Speaker 2: state of Arkansas that have a hockey team?
Speaker 3: Like? Is that even a thing?
Speaker 7: I don't think you don't know because there's only like
Speaker 7: maybe I know there's a rink in Little Rock.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's another rink, So there's just
Speaker 3: a handful of rinks period, let alone in high schools. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Interesting, I figured that. I just didn't know if it
Speaker 5: was like a handful or zero zero.
Speaker 7: I don't think there's any no, because unless it's like
Speaker 7: a wreck, some kind of wreck something, but.
Speaker 3: There's no Do people play like a street ball or
Speaker 3: do they play on roller skates or.
Speaker 2: Like not even in the streets? No, inline like street
Speaker 2: hockey was awesome. Yes, I play.
Speaker 7: You guys are in Minnesota. That's true that I never
Speaker 7: even saw hockey. And this probably is bad to say,
Speaker 7: but I've been here for you. I never saw hockey
Speaker 7: in person until I started my job here.
Speaker 3: I never seen. Yeah, I was amazed at any level.
Speaker 7: No, So I took I went and did a story
Speaker 7: with Jimmy Snugger Rude and Sam Frenzell right after they
Speaker 7: got drafted in the first round. What was that twenty
Speaker 7: twenty two of the NHL Drive sound about right, something
Speaker 7: like that?
Speaker 3: Sure, and I that was I went.
Speaker 7: They were like, yeah, come meet us at Chaska the
Speaker 7: Chaska Rink. And I went out there and I was
Speaker 7: like shocked at how loud it was and they were
Speaker 7: out there.
Speaker 3: I mean, I was in awe of the whole thing.
Speaker 3: This is crazy. There's no doubt. And I grew up
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. There's no doubt that sport is ten times
Speaker 3: better in person.
Speaker 7: Right, Yes, it's yeah, it's you truly, But people say
Speaker 7: that Mascar the same way.
Speaker 3: Shock everybody.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I still have not been to a Loons game too,
Speaker 3: so everybody says it's too profu it's a great stadium.
Speaker 6: I do won't know what the hockey Mason Dixon line is,
Speaker 6: like where geographically in the country does the influence of
Speaker 6: hockey sort.
Speaker 3: Of like where does high school hockey start from the set?
Speaker 7: Maybe maybe that's Missouri doesn't have because when I grew
Speaker 7: up in Youngster doesn't have any.
Speaker 3: Hockey at all. I think Missouri, I think I've seen
Speaker 3: like like it's like it's a sanctions.
Speaker 1: It's not like a big big thing, but I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure like they I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's big in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: No, it's not like big big, but it's like they
Speaker 1: have it. Like I'm pretty sure I saw something like
Speaker 1: at the Blues Arena where.
Speaker 3: They had like a a game. But yeah, I think
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense anywhere in.
Speaker 1: Arkansas states high school hockey. The players aren't going pro
Speaker 1: like that we are. We are an absolute island.
Speaker 2: But doesn't it make sense that if your state at
Speaker 2: least has a handful of months of snow, that you
Speaker 2: probably should be a state that has high school hockey.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Missouri, that much snow.
Speaker 7: Now where bodies of water freeze over, so you have
Speaker 7: to have frozen look here because of that.
Speaker 3: How expensive hockey? It is very expensive if.
Speaker 7: You don't have You're talking poverty stricken states too.
Speaker 6: Like if you don't have frozen legs for most of
Speaker 6: the winter, you're not having hockey.
Speaker 3: Have you public publicly discussed what you told us on Monday,
Speaker 3: or do you not want to bring that up? I
Speaker 3: forget what I brought up hockey related.
Speaker 6: I completely forgot what I brought up on Monday.
Speaker 7: I think that means.
Speaker 5: Flyway that it's a way of it's a way of
Speaker 5: firsthand knowing how expensive hockey is.
Speaker 3: If you know what I mean, oh, like how much
Speaker 3: the equipment costs, for example.
Speaker 6: I won't I won't give like I won't give all
Speaker 6: the details. I won't give all the details. But little
Speaker 6: well who's twelve years old, his hockey bag has disappeared.
Speaker 3: So after.
Speaker 6: After all of the hooplah and the preparation for getting
Speaker 6: my daughter's grad party ready, which we hosted our house
Speaker 6: and we cleaned out the garage and we're doing all
Speaker 6: this other stuff. Just the other day on Sunday, we
Speaker 6: were getting him ready for a hockey clinic Monday morning,
Speaker 6: and Abby's like, where's his hockey bag? I go, well,
Speaker 6: it should be here in this spot in the garage
Speaker 6: and she's like, I ain't here. I go, well, it
Speaker 6: should be in the other spot that we moved other
Speaker 6: stuff to in preparation for the party. And she's like,
Speaker 6: it ain't there either. Well, I'm like, and then she
Speaker 6: also asked, like, where's that been with all the baseball
Speaker 6: bats and the other hockey sticks. I go, that should
Speaker 6: be all together. It ain't here. So somebody at some
Speaker 6: point in time stole all of our stuff.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 6: So on Sunday night, I had the pleasure of going
Speaker 6: to Bower and purchasing two thousand dollars worth of hockey
Speaker 6: equipment like a.
Speaker 3: Taller an hour, sheees, who would steal thirty bag lunches.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you who that damn sasquatch. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: So you want to talk about how expensive hockey is.
Speaker 6: And the thing is like at twelve, because he's getting
Speaker 6: basically out of like youth skates, Like I didn't buy
Speaker 6: expensive skates like I buy. I bought like middle of
Speaker 6: the road skates, and they're expensive.
Speaker 3: By the way, that's a sneaky thing about kids getting older.
Speaker 2: Harper's twelve. She's getting pretty tall. She's I don't know
Speaker 2: how much taller she's gonna get. When they get to
Speaker 2: be like fourth or fifth grade and they want like
Speaker 2: expensive shoes or expensive sweat sweatshirts, You're like, you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Wear these for six months.
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of sneaky awesome when you're like, I
Speaker 2: think you've topped out, which means we can do that shoes.
Speaker 6: Just in this conversation yesterday, it's.
Speaker 2: The best, and it's like, all right now, there's no
Speaker 2: more growing into these. These can just be yours now.
Speaker 2: So it sounds like Wells is getting closer to that
Speaker 2: point to have adult sized hockey.
Speaker 6: I mean though, growing until he's nineteen, sure, yeah, beyond that,
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe your feet kind of stopped growing at some
Speaker 6: point in time. You kind of grow into your body
Speaker 6: and you're in your feet. But I mean we're basically
Speaker 6: still in growth mode.
Speaker 3: Man, got I hope So because he's only five to two,
Speaker 3: gotta wait, hey on, Wells is five to two.
Speaker 6: That's a huge Let me get let me give you.

Speaker 2: To we've got to Yeah, that's what people think.
Speaker 5: We don't want it to go off. We wanted to
Speaker 5: go off. Yeah, we wanted to start. Oh yeah, there
Speaker 5: was a time.
Speaker 3: Yeah for once it.
Speaker 2: Got to like ninety km, like we got to get
Speaker 2: it to we gotta get it to six figures.
Speaker 3: But now that it's over six figures, way to win it.
Speaker 3: Pull your hands up.
Speaker 5: The Charlotte Hornets are trading Star Guard Lamello Ball and
Speaker 5: Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 3: Yea way, no kidding, this is breaking new four mon
Speaker 3: am I getting trolled? Did zachly change something? Not four?
Speaker 5: Naz Reid way twenty thirty three unprotected first round pick,
Speaker 5: free first round pick swaps, three second round picks. What
Speaker 5: the Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and
Speaker 5: Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for naz Reid a
Speaker 5: twenty thirty three unprotected first round pick, three first round
Speaker 5: pick swaps. So the yours they have picks and three
Speaker 5: second round picks.
Speaker 3: Whole shams.
Speaker 8: Max your thoughts, Dog, I got I'm I gotta say.
Speaker 8: I mean, that's a lot to give up. So that's
Speaker 8: a lot.
Speaker 3: That's a lot to give up.
Speaker 5: But you didn't give up Rudy, so you don't lose
Speaker 5: the defense. You don't lose Rudy in a defensive situation,
Speaker 5: and you it's a lot of picks to give up.
Speaker 8: But for in terms of players, in terms of the
Speaker 8: right now, I think that's actually a pretty good deal.
Speaker 8: And then you've got a guy, one of the top
Speaker 8: point guards in the league that's exactly on Ant's timeline,
Speaker 8: you know, like they're they're good.
Speaker 3: That's insane. They gave up nas. Remember a few years
Speaker 3: ago this was so inconsistent. A really dumb question. But
Speaker 3: it's breaking on ESPN right now, too, dumb question. This
Speaker 3: is nuts is sweet. So it says three first round
Speaker 3: pick swaps twenty eight, twenty nine, and thirty So.
Speaker 2: If the Wolves, though, if the Wolves have a better
Speaker 2: record than Charlotte, then there's no swap. Is that correct, Max?
Speaker 3: That's got to be the yeah, right the way? So
Speaker 3: do we only swap picks if somehow we think they
Speaker 3: get pushed?
Speaker 5: So I think I think they get pushed until the
Speaker 5: Wolves have a it's advantagous for so I think it.
Speaker 5: I think it gets pushed down the line. So if
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty eight they don't, but and then twenty
Speaker 5: I think it gets moved.
Speaker 3: I don't think you just don't do it so confusing,
Speaker 3: I mean, because that's a weird thing to just say
Speaker 3: we're gonna time to eventually swap, sir, let's go go dog.
Speaker 3: So if ap guys listening?
Speaker 8: If Johnny Krasinski is a text, but it's unprotected pick
Speaker 8: swaps though, right?
Speaker 3: Well, the first one says it's the first one is.
Speaker 2: An unprotected unprotected, but then there's three pickswaps in twenty eight,
Speaker 2: twenty nine, and thirty and then.
Speaker 3: Three second round picks.
Speaker 8: Who cares n I think those are I think no
Speaker 8: matter what that they switch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they knew they had to do something like this
Speaker 5: because they didn't want.
Speaker 3: Other teams to get involved. Nas Reed is great.
Speaker 5: I get all that, but the fact that they didn't
Speaker 5: have every Rudy is rudy. But the defensive advantage you
Speaker 5: have with Rudy in the height you have to have
Speaker 5: in the West.
Speaker 3: You had to give up something. If we go back
Speaker 3: to the if we go back to the Yannis trade
Speaker 3: deadline rumors, I think everybody that was wow anti Yanni's trade,
Speaker 3: and I was kind of in that boat because I
Speaker 3: just didn't want to give up Jayden. So if you
Speaker 3: make a significant upgrade like LaMelo Ball.
Speaker 2: Or you know there were the Jalen Brown pipe dream rumors,
Speaker 2: or even we heard Jahn Morant or Jannis was back
Speaker 2: on the table. All these names were like, how do
Speaker 2: we get Kyrie Irving here? If you could get any
Speaker 2: of those guys we just named, and we got LaMelo
Speaker 2: Ball without giving up Jaden McDaniels. I think that's a
Speaker 2: huge home run, right. I think you're correct.
Speaker 7: I thought everyone was gonna want Jayden because they should so, like, Yeah,
Speaker 7: I think Jayden's more valuable than Nas if had to
Speaker 7: give up one of the two.
Speaker 2: I'm very thankful that this is the one that they
Speaker 2: picked out of the two. Bend your hands up right now, would.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's he might the right circumstances, So go with
Speaker 6: go through it with me right now, and I'll ask
Speaker 6: all you basketball people in here, what's the starting lineup
Speaker 6: look like right now? Then?
Speaker 5: Well, it'd be Lamello at one, uh Aunt to two,
Speaker 5: Jaden at the three. I don't they'll find somebody to
Speaker 5: play power forward because they don't have one because Julius
Speaker 5: and now Nas.
Speaker 3: Are gone about Rudy and one Berengear will play.
Speaker 6: So I guess that's my I guess that's my question
Speaker 6: is who's going to fill that that number four slove?
Speaker 8: You might not be on the ruse, he won't be
Speaker 8: on the rush. Yeah, he must want to go really
Speaker 8: big and then have Yoan and Udy in the same lineup,
Speaker 8: But I don't know if they want to do that.
Speaker 3: No, they'll they have similar is what is he's what
Speaker 3: f he'll.
Speaker 2: He'll he can play one, two or three really because
Speaker 2: they've had him handled the ball. But he can play
Speaker 2: two or three, I think too, and I think he
Speaker 2: can defend one through What a trade?
Speaker 3: That's insane, man, Again, if you just.
Speaker 8: Don't matter, if you're no, if you're good, which they're
Speaker 8: going to be good, right.
Speaker 5: The Charlotte Hornets are trading lamellow Ball and Josh Green
Speaker 5: to the Timberwolves for nas reed to twenty thirty three
Speaker 5: unprotected first round pick, three first round pick swaps in
Speaker 5: twenty eight, twenty nine, and thirty and then three second
Speaker 5: round picks in twenty nine, thirty two, and thirty three.
Speaker 3: Those who cares about that.
Speaker 2: Again still would love clarification on those three years with
Speaker 2: the pick swaps, because if the Wolves are picking twenty
Speaker 2: fifth and the Hornets are picking twelve, then we don't
Speaker 2: swap with.
Speaker 5: Them, right, yeah, yeah, So then the Hornets would happen
Speaker 5: good too, though I don't know, I don't know, I
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 3: It is confusing.
Speaker 2: So then let's say let's just say that's the case.
Speaker 2: Let's say the Wolves have a later pick. All three
Speaker 2: years and theoretically we don't swap. It's I think it's
Speaker 2: an option from what I'm reading, that's what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they have the option to switch, but they don't have to. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's my point though. If the Hornets have a lower pick,
Speaker 2: than they wouldn't swap, right because they would want to stay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, eighth instead of twenty fifth. Yeah, saying if if
Speaker 3: all three years the Wolves have a later pick, so
Speaker 3: the Hornets say no, all three years, then we gave
Speaker 3: up nas Reed, a first round pick and a bunch
Speaker 3: of garbage. It's not that bad. Yeah, that sounds like
Speaker 3: a steal.
Speaker 7: It sounds like a pick one and pick three from
Speaker 7: the twenty twenty draft.
Speaker 3: Yeah you pick yeah yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5: So then they the Wolves are now twenty to one
Speaker 5: after trading for the ball.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 5: I love it too. He's a god man. He can shoot,
Speaker 5: he can defend. I don't know he can defend, but
Speaker 5: he he Now he can run the point. Now we'll
Speaker 5: take the ball out of Ant's hand. Ant doesn't have to.
Speaker 5: He can't be double team into a corner. They have
Speaker 5: another guy that can. He can shoot the hell out
Speaker 5: of the ball and he can.
Speaker 8: Score man, He's an antidote to almost all of the Wolves,
Speaker 8: like big offensive problems, which is just which is ball
Speaker 8: stickiness and spacing on the floor.
Speaker 3: Said so, and you.
Speaker 5: Keep Rudy, and you keep which is but Rudy, you
Speaker 5: gotta They don't win against Denver last season if they
Speaker 5: don't have Rudy, Well, you have to have Rudy.
Speaker 3: In the West. Rudy provides a floor.
Speaker 8: Some people might think he limits the ceiling, but he
Speaker 8: gives you a floor, like you're gonna be a top
Speaker 8: ten defensive team with Rudy Gobert on your team pretty
Speaker 8: much no matter what.
Speaker 6: This is absolutely insane. Okay, So, and we probably knew
Speaker 6: this before this trade. But what happens with Dante then,
Speaker 6: I mean he's just done, like the names healthy because
Speaker 6: LaMelo's got like three years left on his contract and
Speaker 6: you're probably, I mean whatever.
Speaker 8: He's going to be a Dante team on a super
Speaker 8: team friendly deal though, and he was before he was
Speaker 8: never I mean, he was already coming off the bench
Speaker 8: before last year. He was in the starting point guard role.
Speaker 8: But I think that was more of like a band
Speaker 8: aid than a permanent because everyone knew he wasn't going.
Speaker 6: To be the real pack healthy. He's just back to
Speaker 6: his same role that he had.
Speaker 3: But let's say the obvious.
Speaker 2: I know, playoff benches get shortened, right, You're normally rolling
Speaker 2: out seven or eight instead of like ten ish during
Speaker 2: the regular season. But if we want to be competitive
Speaker 2: against the Spurs Corps for the next five or six
Speaker 2: years and thunder how loaded they are. I mean, if
Speaker 2: you have like Io and Dante coming off the bench,
Speaker 2: that's kind of awesome. And obviously that's what nas Reed's
Speaker 2: role has been essentially his entire Wolve's career, so we're
Speaker 2: losing depth there, but I think that's ideal. If you
Speaker 2: have guys like Io and Dante off the bench eventually.
Speaker 3: Then then you don't really have a giant drop off.
Speaker 3: That's pretty awesome. And again, theoretically, Baronjet should be that
Speaker 3: safety net for Rudy when Rudy's on the bench. I
Speaker 3: don't know what we're going to be, You're right, I
Speaker 3: don't know what we're gonna do power for.
Speaker 5: I mean I would assume they'll they have that money
Speaker 5: from Randall, they have a fifteen them trade. I mean,
Speaker 5: they don't have a power forward as of right now,
Speaker 5: because even when this even all the trade scenarios for
Speaker 5: this were brought up in an included Rudy. The bench
Speaker 5: was then the Baron Jay, and then they had that
Speaker 5: Zelensky or whatever dude that they had, and then it
Speaker 5: was Nas and then no one behind him. They don't
Speaker 5: have a star arding power forward on this team, Amanda.
Speaker 5: They have a backcourt so many sweet lobs.
Speaker 7: Well, I can't wait for a postgame press or.
Speaker 8: Going to be nuts man. As a Wolves fan, I'm
Speaker 8: very excited. As a pedestrian, I'm terrified.
Speaker 5: Think of all the Minnesotans, Noyle that have a Charlotte
Speaker 5: Hornet tattooed on their arm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, honestly, why get a Nas red tattoo?
Speaker 8: Ever?
Speaker 2: Because this is what happens. He's not guaranteed to be
Speaker 2: here the rest of it. Now you're cheering for the Hornets,
Speaker 2: you're right to towel. I mean, probably cry and do it.
Speaker 3: I guess to be so mad, but I don't, but
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't know if Hornets fans are mad because that
Speaker 5: Canipple kid is unbelievable. They had they drafted another guard
Speaker 5: last night. They have Kobe White, so they are loaded.
Speaker 5: In guards. That's why this came available last night at
Speaker 5: Sean said it. I think it like the end of
Speaker 5: the draft coverage. He's like, people, are.
Speaker 3: You know there? Why is Lamello all the sudden available?
Speaker 5: And as I said, the Wolves tried to trade for
Speaker 5: him at the deadline and they got real close.
Speaker 3: So as you said, I mean, it's not a it's
Speaker 3: a it's a lot on paper, it's not a lot.
Speaker 3: It's really not No.
Speaker 6: Okay for the casual fan like myself, Corlisc you know,
Speaker 6: his his whole story, Lamela's whole story with his family
Speaker 6: has been It was like a giant distraction and it
Speaker 6: was kind of weird. It painted them in a really
Speaker 6: bad light. What what is he like off the court?
Speaker 6: Like is he going to be a problem? Is he
Speaker 6: a problem? I don't know, TBD.
Speaker 1: He's like he like pretty straight and narrow, like he's
Speaker 1: a he's a he's grown.
Speaker 8: I mean he's gotten like some He had some traffic
Speaker 8: stuff in Charlotte. He was like speeding trafficking like actual vehicle. Yeah,
Speaker 8: but we're used to that around at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well, and honestly, I will say LeVar Ball has complete
Speaker 8: Nobody has heard anything from LeVar ever since all of
Speaker 8: his kids got into the NBA.
Speaker 3: Basically he made all.
Speaker 8: That kind of he almost was like a ww wrestler,
Speaker 8: like bigging them up, making it a huge event. And
Speaker 8: then as soon as the god was done, Yeah, and
Speaker 8: then we don't hear from him. So that's like a
Speaker 8: non factor right there. And I mean on the court,
Speaker 8: he's he's an incredible player.
Speaker 5: He's gotta stay healthy, though he does have a little
Speaker 5: his health issue.
Speaker 3: He has a health issue. So we'll see, man hey,
Speaker 3: whether this works or not. Can we at least give
Speaker 3: a metaphoric like tip of the cap to Tim Connley
Speaker 3: who continues to just swing. Yeah, people dog on him
Speaker 3: all the time. I freaking love it because like playing
Speaker 3: to not lose is losing, right. He definitely swings and
Speaker 3: he I think the read is willing to take the
Speaker 3: acts Like if this doesn't work and you want to
Speaker 3: gilla te me, that's fine, but my job is to
Speaker 3: try to win.
Speaker 2: I like that he swings and he gives up a
Speaker 2: lot of picks. He makes big trades. But he said
Speaker 2: that at.
Speaker 7: The end of the season he was like, listen, like
Speaker 7: I've got to do something here, and I'm going to
Speaker 7: take a huge risk, probably.
Speaker 6: When I could not run it back with the same group,
Speaker 6: especially like.
Speaker 7: Just trying to push the needle a little bit. You
Speaker 7: gotta just kind of.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can't make casual decisions.
Speaker 3: You got to like really go after it. See. I
Speaker 3: like the fact that Garren is he's bold, he's say
Speaker 3: going for.
Speaker 6: Like you can't fault these guys for wanting to win
Speaker 6: championships and doing everything they can to say, like, we're
Speaker 6: doing our part.
Speaker 3: These these players jobs on the line.
Speaker 6: Yeah, these players and coaches have to step up, but
Speaker 6: we're going to give you what you need to win.
Speaker 6: And you know, a tip of the cap to the
Speaker 6: to the new ownership with the Timberwolves too, like they're
Speaker 6: letting commonly just let him.
Speaker 3: Do something and they go back into the luxury gms.
Speaker 2: Get hired to get fired, right, You're gonna get fired
Speaker 2: at the end of your run with any team. Would
Speaker 2: you rather say like, sure, I went for it. I
Speaker 2: took my shots and it didn't work, but I went
Speaker 2: for it, or just like, oh man, I was just
Speaker 2: trying to hang on because I was getting paid a
Speaker 2: lot of money. No, it's like I like that Conley
Speaker 2: is willing to swing and if it doesn't work, then
Speaker 2: eventually he'll lose his job.
Speaker 3: But now he's an interesting freaking your art.
Speaker 6: Though, if we take a step back at a lot,
Speaker 6: at a lot of professional sports, high level front office
Speaker 6: decision makers, you work so hard you grind, like look
Speaker 6: at Teasley like you grinding, grinding, grind to get to
Speaker 6: that spot, knowing that longevity is not is never guaranteed,
Speaker 6: and it's almost like you're only guaranteed what your first contract.
Speaker 6: So you write so hard to be maybe three or
Speaker 6: four years in that spot. If you're lucky, you get
Speaker 6: a second contract. But then after that some of these
Speaker 6: guys like the frand follies of the world dispp.
Speaker 3: You want it done right because because if it doesn't work.
Speaker 2: What franchise, multi billion dollar franchise is going to say, Hey,
Speaker 2: you know the guy that failed, we're hiring.
Speaker 3: Him the guy that over coming that guy be.
Speaker 6: It might be a decade before Racy maybe even gets
Speaker 6: a second look at being a.
Speaker 3: GA, likely never again and likely never again. Right, So again,
Speaker 3: you gotta gamble because you're only in that's gonna go on,
Speaker 3: So why not why not go all in and give
Speaker 3: it your best shot? So I love for trade. Why not?
Speaker 3: Who cares?
Speaker 5: Right, it's gonna be super entertaining. Exactly like you said
Speaker 5: when they when they swung for Rudy, they're trying. It's
Speaker 5: different than running out sixteen win teams that you.
Speaker 3: And I went to. They're trying. It's back in.
Speaker 2: The day, it would have been you draft Isaiah Evans
Speaker 2: and Trey kaffin un last night and go.
Speaker 3: I hope they're good, right, and then what's three years
Speaker 3: out of the Three years later they're out of the league,
Speaker 3: and it's just over right. But yeah, Conley doesn't mess around.
Speaker 8: In arms race in the West right now, and you
Speaker 8: got to keep up and everybody else is huge nuke,
Speaker 8: then you got to you gotta get a nuke yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be worried about the twenty thirty three draft class.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean.
Speaker 2: Keeping me up, man can when we look back in
Speaker 2: those three second rounders that we gave up, how worthless
Speaker 2: those three picks are going to end up being.
Speaker 5: I mean, name somebody that somebody name a player, a
Speaker 5: good player that the Jazz have picked with the Rudy picks.
Speaker 5: You can right like they have. I don't what picks
Speaker 5: it I mean, they're all in the late twenties, right,
Speaker 5: well that the Jazz got from Rudy for Rudy.
Speaker 3: Excuse me.
Speaker 7: You just don't know who's gonna last in this league
Speaker 7: until they get there. And then, I mean you have
Speaker 7: obviously your stars that are coming out and your top
Speaker 7: picks and things like that, but everything else it's kind
Speaker 7: of wait and see.
Speaker 3: How they last. And second rounders are so easily attainable.
Speaker 2: Like I'm pretty sure Connley could just call up a
Speaker 2: couple of teams and just ask nicely and they would
Speaker 2: just give them one.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Like, we don't really need
Speaker 3: all these tam nicks made like nine picks in the
Speaker 3: second round.
Speaker 5: Four picks in the second round last night were made
Speaker 5: by the original team, four of them. They're removed all
Speaker 5: the time. Yeah, God, I love trades. Trades are God.
Speaker 5: I gotta fire up NBA.
Speaker 3: Two K.
Speaker 1: We do have to talk about the Night of Champions
Speaker 1: on Saturday, w W w E. I mean we have
Speaker 1: to on TV.
Speaker 7: Interviewed.
Speaker 6: Here's here's the ridiculous part, because it is kind of
Speaker 6: a fun little past time to hate on what ESPN does.
Speaker 6: So Saus goes with the breaking news and then thirty
Speaker 6: seconds later, ESPN has it up on the screen. They
Speaker 6: talk about it for maybe thirty seconds and they start
Speaker 6: teasing that who's this Dudee Rollins live live from Saudi
Speaker 6: Arabia coming up after the break.
Speaker 3: They haven't talked about the trade since. I mean they
Speaker 3: did a segment, did they.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they had three of them in boxes around talking
Speaker 7: about it.
Speaker 3: If it's a trade like it should have been. I agree, they.
Speaker 6: Should have been like, hey, dude, like, uh, we're we're
Speaker 6: going to push this interview back if.
Speaker 5: Go to the Lakers. It's they push Seth Rollins. That's
Speaker 5: half of it. They don't it's half of it. It's true,
Speaker 5: and they paid like it's all like money.
Speaker 3: I understand.
Speaker 6: I understand the finances behind it and this ridiculousness that
Speaker 6: they have to make treat the w W like it's
Speaker 6: a real sport, which they do, which they do, so
Speaker 6: I get the financial incentive. It's just they they put
Speaker 6: themselves in a weird spot when breaking news like this
Speaker 6: happens and they can only like touch on it because
Speaker 6: they have to go to Saudi Arabia to talk to
Speaker 6: Seth Rawlins about his strategy for this wrestling don't actually.
Speaker 3: Keeps people watching don't care. It is bizarre. I don't know.
Speaker 7: The e the nasri era over well, I want to
Speaker 7: get into a business. Laser tattoo removal something you should
Speaker 7: look into.
Speaker 3: That Charlotte Hornet's power forwards name you have on your arm?
Speaker 3: Yes it is? Well why yes it is? Because he
Speaker 3: played for Minnesota.
Speaker 5: For a couple of years. Yeah, is he like he
Speaker 5: never started? I mean other than like injuries, but he
Speaker 5: rarely started. It's gonna sting, yep, much like the Hornets.
Speaker 3: So who he did there?
Speaker 2: See when we when we rip ESPN from going from
Speaker 2: the LaMelo ball to the Timberwolves trade to seth rollins,
Speaker 2: can we even transition to play this game, because now
Speaker 2: we're going to transition out of breaking news.
Speaker 6: We gave it, We gave it the time, we gave
Speaker 6: it the three hours.
Speaker 2: And my guess is Barrero has Tim Connolly on some
Speaker 2: time between three and six.
Speaker 3: They're having who's the cream guy? They have on?
Speaker 5: Tom Tom Crean, They having him on at three point
Speaker 5: thirty they'll have Yeah, I.
Speaker 9: Don't know, man, I'm sorry, right here, right here, job
Speaker 9: that's really been underplanned.
Speaker 3: His ball knowledge talking who I.
Speaker 6: Just hold off, just bring me back for bump and
Speaker 6: they'll give you everything I got.
Speaker 2: All right, So if you just tuned in and you're like,
Speaker 2: what the hell are they talking about?
Speaker 3: Lamello Ball traded from the Hornets to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 2: But yes, nas Reed, a first round pick, a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of second round picks, and a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: pick swaps in the first round are headed to Charlotte.
Speaker 2: But the headline is LaMelo Ball is coming here, nas
Speaker 2: Reed going there.
Speaker 1: And we will keep the video stream going on YouTube
Speaker 1: and the PA's first segment, So which will be I'm
Speaker 1: sure must listen radio.
Speaker 3: For sure, heavy, a lot of mellow talk talk, a
Speaker 3: lot of ball talk, a lot of ball talk, man,
Speaker 3: Lamello Ball, Christine, all right here real quick before before
Speaker 3: we transition, before we transition out of the game. One
Speaker 3: final kind of just hypothetical question. The hot rumor a
Speaker 3: week or two ago was Kyrie Irving? Right?
Speaker 2: I don't know what you would have had to give
Speaker 2: up to get Kyrie Irving. He's much older than than
Speaker 2: Lamello Ball. Would you have rather had Kyrie on this
Speaker 2: team and his experience and his maturity or no macurity? Well,
Speaker 2: I mean compared to LaMelo maybe experience man now experience
Speaker 2: might be because.
Speaker 8: He would have probably, I mean, you could have saved
Speaker 8: a couple of pick swaps. I'm sure sure would have
Speaker 8: had to make a similar size haul to get Kyrie Irving,
Speaker 8: who I mean also has injury struggles and is, like
Speaker 8: you said, significantly older. Now you have a premiere point
Speaker 8: guard that's on the same exact timeline as Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 8: I mean, like Julia said, they were drafted in the
Speaker 8: same exact draft. I remember debating, I remember being dead wrong,
Speaker 8: being like, I wish we got Lamello instead of Anthony Edwards,
Speaker 8: and now we got them on them both.
Speaker 2: And by the way, speaking of of Conley swinging big
Speaker 2: and being wrong, he swung big and traded up for
Speaker 2: Rob Dillon.
Speaker 3: Hammon was wrong right way, wrong way, which is fine
Speaker 3: because he was like, we need a point guard. Let's
Speaker 3: find a young one that can score always drafted player
Speaker 3: from Kentucky. Let's let's go for doing that. It didn't work.
Speaker 2: He still found a way to get us Io by
Speaker 2: getting rid of Rob Dillion, Haim and Iowa is awesome,
Speaker 2: but that didn't cost him his job.
Speaker 3: He swung big. I freaking love it.
Speaker 5: Keep swinging, yep, don't just hope show Hey shows up
Speaker 5: for one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if he fits with the Twins anyway.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I'm on a different team, so you can
Speaker 5: sell the place out, all right. Team code Maximsince Heior.
Speaker 5: You get to play too. I didn't know you were
Speaker 5: gonna be back in time.
Speaker 7: You're in.
Speaker 3: Max will be good at this. I've never played. I
Speaker 3: think you'll be good. All right.
Speaker 2: So the Twins are off today, probably going to be
Speaker 2: talking about LaMelo ball the rest of the day down with.
Speaker 3: The Clay Probably wealked about it. Yeah, they probably are.
Speaker 2: But tomorrow we play the Colorado Rockies. You guys know
Speaker 2: the team code for Colorado? Sure, it's just col, so Julia.
Speaker 2: All twenty words will have the letters col consecutively somewhere
Speaker 2: in the word.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be the beginning. It could be
Speaker 3: the middle, could be the end.
Speaker 2: But col will appear somewhere in the word.
Speaker 3: You don't have to yell out your name like initials.
Speaker 2: As soon as you know the answer, just yell out
Speaker 2: the answer, and whoever says it correctly first gets it.
Speaker 3: Everybody ready, Yes, daddy, all right, here we go c
Speaker 3: O L Number one typically under four years of age

Speaker 3: but again, ladies.
Speaker 2: First, that is a cult even if it wasn't. Again,
Speaker 2: this we don't take it as seriously is initially, so
Speaker 2: we're giving you that point.

Speaker 3: just hmm, you said again, has a large flowering head
Speaker 3: and stock stock as cool. Somewhere in the word like
Speaker 3: doesn't start with it. In this case, that might help
Speaker 3: a little bit. Flowering head relax, run on brand what's
Speaker 3: the stock.
Speaker 2: Let's just say cauliflower was a fantastic guess that's so
Speaker 2: close to right.

Speaker 2: The co ol is in the there for sure, right on,
Speaker 2: all right, bends on the board. Number five, Sanders and Mustard, Colonel.
