While you're watching 32 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: the Lakers stare at each other in disdain on the bench, 33 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: you're thinking what I'm thinking? What would Matt Smith, the 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: voice of the Bolts have to say about this? What 35 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: would Matt Smith do? W WD And we don't have 36 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: to ask that question any longer. We no longer have 37 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: to wonder. Now we will know. It's time for the 38 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: top story of the well. 39 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: As discussed a little bit a half hour ago, I 40 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 2: would submit it's over. It is completely and totally over, 41 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: which really is a wild thing to think, because for 42 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: people like Lon Rosen and Andrew Friedman and Tony Bennett 43 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: and Mark Walter to really drill down into this Lakers 44 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 2: team this offseason, they likely will recognize that a central 45 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 2: component of its failure is too much clutch sports, too 46 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 2: much jabron lames, too much bad energy, bad juju, bad karma, 47 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: bad basketball, coursing through the concourses, and the foundation. 48 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: Like a stanch matt in the bowels of. 49 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: The arena that you can't get rid of no matter 50 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 2: what you tried, no matter how many arm and hammer 51 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: baking soda boxes you open, the stench stays. What is 52 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: the foundation of this ten billion dollar franchise? And many 53 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: people when you hear the B word after a number 54 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: ten billion dollar, try to compare corporate culture to team 55 00:03:52,680 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: performance is as nine ten billion dollars is nothing. Nadi, Apple, 56 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: Google are in the three to four trillion dollar range. 57 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I saw, yeah, yeah, yeah, 58 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: how about this pe if the people are really interested, 59 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: which I'm guessing they're not, but I decided to take 60 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 2: two minutes to look it up. Where it coward With 61 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: exactly ten billion dollars of market cap, the Lakers are 62 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: the equivalent of Avans, a French fleet managing operational car 63 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: leasing company ranked two thousand and fiftieth in the corporate 64 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: market cap counting rankings. 65 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: Hey, that's a proud rental company. 66 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: Okay, you know what, pe It is not to compare 67 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: the Lakers to Ivans, because they've got three and a 68 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: half million vehicles, fourteen thousand employees, and they are the 69 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 2: number one fleet leasing company in Europe. Tim Albertson, their CEO, 70 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: probably has a solid work culture foundation, probably has fourteen 71 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: thousand bodies pulling the rope in the same direction, and 72 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: that has led to their impressive run, growing from a 73 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: six billion dollar market cap in twenty nineteen to its 74 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: current twenty twenty six ten billion dollar number. Are the 75 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: Lakers growing No? Are they sinking? 76 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: No? 77 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: The Lakers are stagnant. They are the same team they 78 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: have been for the last six years. And in corporate culture, 79 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: that is death. 80 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: What's the common denominator there, Matt. 81 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 2: It's a great question, Pee, because if we look through cliches, 82 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: the types that you'll see on corporate culture posters and 83 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: the pisser. The motivational quotes include, you're not getting better, 84 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: you're getting worse. You're either at the table or you're 85 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: on the menu. If you're not growing, you're dying. And 86 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: the Lakers are violating every last one of them. This 87 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: teamp with Lebron James over those six years has been 88 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 2: exactly this. What they are today is what they have 89 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: been since their run to their Mickey Mouse Championship Mickey Mouse. 90 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: Whoa because it was in Orlando at Disney World. 91 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: Yeah you heard, Sam Amy. I was there, give them 92 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: the flowers. I was there. I'm sam Amck. I was there. Uh. 93 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 2: The one run to the conference finals in twenty twenty 94 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: three would have felt more like a breakout from their 95 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: stagnation had they not been swept by the Nuggets, who 96 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: went on to win the NBA Finals. And as much well, 97 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 2: I guess and much like you regularly point to the 98 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: struggles of USC football. If Oregon can be a perennial contender, 99 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: if Indiana can win the freaking conference in the National Championship, 100 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 2: if Penn State, if Michigan, if Ohio State, if Washington 101 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: can all make playoff runs in the time that you 102 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: has made zero, something stinks at the top. Last year 103 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder, year before Dallas Mavericks, year before Denver Nuggets, 104 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 2: year before Golden State Warriors, year before Phoenix Suns. That 105 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: is five different teams one third of the Western Conference 106 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: has represented the Western Conference in the NBA Finals, while 107 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: the Lakers have managed to win exactly two playoff series 108 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: over that time frame. Two playoff series wins. In twenty 109 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: twenty one, the Phoenix Suns had one All NBA player, 110 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: Chris Paul on the second team. In twenty twenty two, 111 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: the Nuggets had one All NBA player, Nikola Jokic second team. 112 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, the Mavericks had one All NBA 113 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: player Luca first team, and last year, the Oklahoma City 114 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: Thunder had two All NBA players Shaye the MVP and 115 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: Jalen Williams third team. Oh the Warriors had one Steph Curry, 116 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: All NBA player. Cared to wonder what the Lakers had 117 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: happening over that same stretch. It's a rhetorical question. It's 118 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: the question you're gonna tell me, you asked, asked earlier. Yes, 119 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: Jabron Lanes from twenty twenty one through last season was 120 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 2: an All NBA player second Team, third Team, third Team, 121 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: third team, second team, and in twenty twenty four they 122 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: had two. Anthony Davis was a second team All NBA player, 123 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: meaning they either had as many superstars as every other 124 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: team that went to the finals, and in one year 125 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 2: they even had two. 126 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: But now they got Johnny Brahms, Zach. 127 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: Oh, look out of it, Johnny brains. They had one 128 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: of the ten or fifteen best players in the league 129 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: and could not win a single playoff series. Now that 130 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: is a failure somewhere based on the other evidence we 131 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: have sitting in front of us, and that is five 132 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 2: different teams managed to make the NBA Finals in that 133 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 2: same timeframe with the exact same number of all NBA players. 134 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: So I guess to spin it back to corporate culture. 135 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: The stock price is stagnant, if it's sliding, someone's getting fired, 136 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: new blood is being brought in. You are searching relentlessly 137 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: for what the central cause of concern might be. And 138 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: there could be a number of people you could point to. 139 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: So if we put it on the Lakers, is it 140 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 2: all the way at the top? Is it the CEO? 141 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: Is it Genie Buss for being two hands off from 142 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: letting Lebron or Rob Polinka an underlean run this thing 143 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: into the ground. Is it on Rob Polinka for constructing 144 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: a roster devoid of consistent competitors, of killers of stat chasers. 145 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: Is it on JJ Reddick at the management level because 146 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,599 Speaker 2: he doesn't have the gravity to rally the employees the 147 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: jobs to push a talent like Lebron or Luca. But 148 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 2: no surprise, p We're gonna come back to Jabron Lames. 149 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: What about Johnny Johnny Brames, he's just hanging out in 150 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 2: the castodioid. He's cleaying the floors. Uh, it's not. 151 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: Close, you know, it doesn't seem like it's. 152 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: It's there is one constant, and it's a constant that 153 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: will have to depart next year and likely will depart 154 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 2: next year. And you just look at that final play 155 00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: last night. Lebron, who plays zero defense, is pointing out 156 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: defensive assignments to Austin Reeves to stay with roy O'Neil, 157 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: and he doesn't. He gets sucked in to Grayson Allen, 158 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 2: who beat Luka Bandancic like a drum off the dribble. 159 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: Reeves has zero chance to help on that play, yet 160 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: he still leaves his man. But the only reason Roys 161 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 2: O'Neil got the pass was because the guy who was 162 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 2: barking out defensive assignments, the guy with four titles, the 163 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: guy with multiple MVP trophies, got sucked in even worse 164 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: and left Colin Gillespie, who could have taken a wide 165 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: open corner three himself and had a wide open look 166 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: for the win. And Reeves just followed suit with what 167 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: Lebron was doing, collapsing to make it four defenders on 168 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: one guy who had no chance at either a making 169 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: that layup or the defenders had no chance in the 170 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: case of Lebron, James and Austrievez of making an impact 171 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: defensively on the play. Now there are a mountain of 172 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 2: hater feeds out there. I enjoy them. 173 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: They are my basketball shirpa to the lameness of Gabron Lambs. 174 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: And some people might point out that they chance. 175 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: So you watch Jabron Lambs, the more he lame, he 176 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: is right. 177 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 2: And people will say, well, they're cherry picking some of 178 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: Jabron's worst moments, which is true. But when your worst 179 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: moments are literally cherry picking for baskets and you're not 180 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: getting back on defense for over fifteen seconds. 181 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: But every once in a while he gets a cheap 182 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: deuce though, Matt yes, and you don't see his teammates 183 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: celebrating at all. 184 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: They just seems when you're floating in the lane for 185 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: cheap rebounds to pass stats. When you're pointing out somebody 186 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: else's defensive assignment while totally blowing yours, it is deflating. 187 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: It is truly deflating, and it is so much weight 188 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: on top of a team that it feels like it's 189 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 2: damn near impossible to climb out from under. Luca led 190 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: a Dallas Mavericks team to the NBA Finals by playing 191 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: some of the most incredible, inspired, magical basketball in the 192 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four playoffs, and he led a team with 193 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: another future Hall of Famer, Kyrie, who was also great. 194 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: But the rest of that team, if you include their 195 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: starters and their rotation players in the playoffs, PJ Washington, 196 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 2: Derek Jones, Junior Daniel Gafford. Their sixth man was a 197 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 2: nineteen year old center, Derek Lively, and their other two 198 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: rotation players were Josh Green and Maxi Kleeber. The team 199 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: went to the NBA Finals because Luca was so freaking good, 200 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 2: And that's what happens in the NBA. Individuals can carry 201 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: you if they are that. 202 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: Special, well, they've they'd make other people better. Yeah, but 203 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: that's not what happens with your brother, Jabron Lambs. 204 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: This current team has that same Luka, Doncic again, Luca Kyrie, PJ. Washington, 205 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: Derek Jones, Daniel Gafford, nineteen year old Derek Lively, Josh Green, 206 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: Maxi Kleeber. This team has Lebron, James, Luka, Doncic, Austin Reeves, Ruyachimura, 207 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton, Marcus Smart, Jake Laavia. Uh, it should be 208 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: good enough. 209 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: Well, maybe it's a poke ball with a bad ingredient. 210 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: Matt not to put a new analogy on your corporate 211 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: stock analogy that you just but it does seem like 212 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: everybody was. I mean, I know you can't judge the 213 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: beginning of the season, which is a different time than 214 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: later in the season, and durability and maturity and all 215 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: those things come into play, but it felt like these 216 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: guys knew how to play with a lot more joy 217 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: and chemistry and got a lot more out of everybody 218 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: when Lebron had sciatica. 219 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a poisonous pill that is put into 220 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: the mix. And I'm not saying they got to make 221 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: the NBA Finals and damn near win it like the 222 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 2: Mavericks did win a playoff series. It has been the 223 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: same song every year, and it's a crappy song, get 224 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: into the playoffs, flirt with the play in, maybe win 225 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: a play in. Maybe you're the sixth seed and you 226 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: don't have to crappy like that Songic. 227 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: If you could only see the way that. 228 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: She loves me, Yeah, I would like that crappy. 229 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 230 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: I think it's ass. I think it's studio ass rock esque. 231 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: You know, take your pick, seven Mary three, Tonic, Little 232 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: Black Backpack. This is the story of a girl, Wait, 233 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: crowd to river, drown the whole world.

Now you're starting to you're 236 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: starting to disparent some things that's getting up underneath the 237 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: skit um. 238 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 2: Uh, whatever it may be. When you start hearing these 239 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: additions that Mark Walter is making, that Andrew Friedman and 240 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: Farhan Ziety are digging their fingers into this thing. That 241 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: Tony Bennett's gonna come and help with the draft, but 242 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: he's not gonna have any say, He's just coming into consult. Uh. 243 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: You gotta believe with Lon Rosen, who, of course most 244 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 2: notable Magic Johnson's agent slash business partner. And then we 245 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: know Magic left because he and Rob Polinka butted heads 246 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: and that's why he just walked out the door. It 247 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: just bodes for massive changes this offseason and the idea 248 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 2: that Lebron James would be back, or even as far 249 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: as I can tell that Rob Polinka is going to 250 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: be back, I just I can't envision it. Not after 251 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: six years of stagnation, zero growth, nothing different fighting for 252 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 2: a six or a five seed. Just despondent and uninteresting 253 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 2: play from your players from February through April and it 254 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: just being too late once the postseason rolls around. 255 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: Tony Bennett did have a quote toward Rob Polenka when 256 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: they hired him, and he said, I want to be 257 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: around to pick up the pieces when somebody breaks your heart. 258 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 2: He's gonna get fired immediately. Yeah, right when we hit 259 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: the offseason. 260 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like the Lakers are not run as 261 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: well as the teams that are on the top. That's true. 262 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: And we'll be back with David Vasse live from Camelback. 263 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: He's got Dave Roberts tonight and JD.

It 291 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 3: was a sellout crowd at Scottsdale Stadium, but the Dodgers 292 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 3: didn't really send any of their regulars to play, so 293 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 3: really the headline act was Yoshi Yamamoto making his final 294 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: Cactus League start before he joins Team Japan, and he 295 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 3: pitched well, three scoreless innings, four strikeouts, did not walk 296 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 3: a batter, so it seems like he's trending in the 297 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 3: right direction for Japan and for the Dodgers. 298 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: Dave, you mentioned they didn't bring any of their regulars, 299 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: but I saw peace want to give credit where credit 300 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: is due. I think it was Jack Harris that wrote 301 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 2: about it in the California Post because of the injury 302 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: to keyk that we should keep our eye on Santiago 303 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: espiinal Is that just kind of share with us who 304 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: he is why he might have an opportunity to break 305 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 2: camp with this roster and what his role would be. 306 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mentioned that to Petro whoever he was filling 307 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 3: in for you, Matt last week. 308 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: My apology. 309 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 3: Antiago Espinal is a guy that has a real chance 310 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 3: to make this team because he's a right handed hitting 311 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 3: third baseman. The Dodgers believe they can get his defense 312 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 3: back to where it was a couple of years ago, 313 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 3: and with Tommy Edman and keyk Hernandez starting the year 314 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 3: on the injured list, he has a real chance to 315 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 3: spell maximuncy against test the tough left East. And yeah, 316 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 3: I mean he's teammates with ta Oscar Hernandez in Toronto. 317 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 3: So that's the function of Espinal being a real possibility 318 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: to be on the opening day roster. 319 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 2: Now that you mentioned Yamamoto through well today he's leaving. 320 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 2: We're not going to see him for a little while 321 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 2: the party, I guess. Parting thoughts on any conversation that 322 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: Dodgers have had with you with the media with Yamamoto, 323 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: what he said on his way out the door about 324 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 2: what his role might be, how he might be used, 325 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 2: and how concerned Dodger fans should. 326 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: Be I don't think Dodger fans should be concerned because 327 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 3: Yamamoto has done a lot of preparation to get bigger 328 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 3: and stronger and put on close to fifteen pounds in 329 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 3: the lower half the legs to stay connected and strong 330 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 3: to the ground. He continues to be at the top 331 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 3: of the training of all pitchers in camp that even 332 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: Muki Betts is trying to take some of his pitching 333 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 3: techniques out to shortstop. But Yamamoto said on the way 334 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 3: out today, because he is on his way to Japan 335 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 3: now that the Dodgers and him have had extensive conversations 336 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 3: about what his pitching limits should be. So obviously he's 337 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 3: very aware of his responsibility with the Dodgers, but he's 338 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 3: probably going to have some guardrails pitching for Team Japan 339 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 3: because of what he alluded to as far as the 340 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 3: conversations he's had and through his interpret or he said, 341 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 3: they were very complicated conversations, so we didn't really get 342 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 3: much details. But I guess Dodger fans should be at 343 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 3: ease that he has been receptive to those conversations about 344 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 3: what his limits should be out there. 345 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: David Vasse is our guest. He's part of the show 346 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: actually as our Dodger reporter on your Southern California Toyota 347 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: Dealers Celebrity Hotline. The Yamamoto Mookie thing is that connected 348 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: with the photos online a Yamamoto and his sense on 349 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 1: Mooki's shoulders or something. 350 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, I had heard about this and then I guess 351 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: a fan started to snap it and put it on Reddit. Yeah. 352 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: Sinse YadA, who is Yamamoto's trainer, was on the shoulders 353 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 3: of Mooki bets two days ago at Camelback Ranch and then. 354 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: Mooki beholders like a rock concert, right. 355 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 3: Literally on his shoulders like a rock concert. Mooki told 356 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 3: me that he weighs one hundred and thirty pounds, So 357 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 3: it's basically trying to strengthen the core, understand the lower 358 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: half and how it's connected to the core to help, 359 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 3: you know, just the throws, which is the longest throw 360 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 3: in the infield from shortstop. And then Mooki started to 361 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 3: take up throwing the javelin, so he said he's going 362 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: to continue to use the javelin training to help him 363 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 3: get better. He when I asked him exactly how this 364 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 3: is going to help him, he said it was too 365 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 3: complicated to explain to me, so obviously way over my head. 366 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 3: So at least he's trying to find different ways at 367 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 3: this stage of his career to just be inquisitive and 368 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 3: curious about other ways to help him be better, to 369 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 3: try to achieve winning a Gold Glove at shortstop. 370 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: Dave, you talked about Hayesan Kim and perhaps potential, you know, 371 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 2: fight to make the roster. Seems like he's hit pretty 372 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 2: well in spring. Kind of where do you stand on that? 373 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: As he is, like you said, all these people are 374 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: leaving for the World Baseball Classic. 375 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, he left a pretty good impression on Dave robertson 376 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 3: the Dodgers yesterday because his last hit before we left 377 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 3: for Team Korea was a home run. He's had an 378 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: incredible spring. He looks more like a big league hitter. 379 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 3: I would say that he's a version of Gavin Lux 380 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: for the Dodgers from a couple of years ago. That 381 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: brings that extra dimension of speed. So if he can 382 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 3: continue to hit the way he has hit early in spring, 383 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 3: the Dodgers are going to have a pretty good dynamic 384 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 3: at second base to start the year, and he can 385 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 3: also play the outfield. He made he looked more comfortable 386 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 3: in center field a couple of games ago, so he 387 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 3: seems to be a real option for them to start 388 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 3: the year. 389 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: The one and only David Vasse is our guest, always 390 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: with the latest information. He's got Dave Roberts and JD. Martinez. 391 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: Tonight we'll ask him about it. What's what's Tucker? I mean, 392 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: I know it's not easy to to to notice Tucker. 393 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: He seems like a guy likes to fly under the radar, 394 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: and we've talked a lot about that, But what's he 395 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: been like this spring? One of your interactions been like 396 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: with the quiet man. 397 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean everything that you just describe Petros is 398 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 3: what I've observed. He's a guy that wants to go 399 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 3: under the radar. He's not really at his locker all 400 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: that much when the media is in there. When you 401 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 3: see him go from field to field, he's not a 402 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: guy that you know, you notice out of the other 403 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: superstars the Dodgers have. But when he takes his at 404 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 3: bat during these games, you can understand how he is 405 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 3: going to really help this Dodger lineup by getting on base, 406 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 3: by bringing a professional approach and a guy that can 407 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 3: do some damage hitting behind o'tawny. So he's a guy 408 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 3: that doesn't want the attention. And it's starting to make 409 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 3: more and more sense. Why, all things being equal, whether 410 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: it was a long term contract in Toronto, you know, 411 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 3: a difference of five million dollars annually with the Mets, 412 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 3: why this was so attractive to him Because he's just 413 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 3: one of many guys and doesn't need to shoulder the 414 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: burden of being the guy front and center. So he 415 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 3: does want to go under the radar and he just 416 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 3: wants to play baseball. But yeah, very very under the 417 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 3: radar type personality. 418 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 2: Dave, What are we to take away from our dear 419 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 2: friend John Hayman writing that if they were to institute 420 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: a salary cap, it would look something like a floor 421 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: of one hundred forty million and a ceiling of two 422 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: hundred sixty million. What do we take away from that? 423 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 3: I think all of this salary cap just goes back 424 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 3: to owners wanting to, you know, improve the perconercentage of 425 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 3: valuations of their franchise and get it closer to where 426 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 3: the NBA and the NFL is the one thing that 427 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 3: everybody ignores when it comes to the Dodgers' spending power 428 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 3: is the fact that the salary cap is not going 429 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 3: to stop the Dodgers from continuing to be on the 430 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 3: cutting edge of technology and infrastructure that they have built 431 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 3: for their players at the major league level and also 432 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 3: in the minor league level. That's where the money that 433 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 3: the Dodgers have, the wherewithal they have that has made 434 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 3: a huge difference even before they signed Otani, and a 435 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 3: salary cap is not going to stop that. 436 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: David Messe everybody, what can we look forward to tonight, 437 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: Dave with Dave Roberts and JD Martinez? Is there a 438 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: preview you can give us of. 439 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: Some kind I can I can? Last year, JD Martinez 440 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 3: helped Mookie Betts get his season back on track in 441 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 3: September when we were in Florida, and you might be 442 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 3: surprised by what JD had to say about how much 443 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 3: he helped Mooky and how many times he helped MOOKI. 444 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 3: And also he's out here on the West Coast. He's 445 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 3: going to be participating in a celebrity pickleball tournament out 446 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 3: there in Lakinta on Monday. That's why it worked time 447 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 3: wise to have him on the show tonight. And also 448 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 3: Dave Roberts talks about, you know the mentality of this 449 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 3: team that's not really shying away when you say the 450 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 3: phrase three feet, they're actually embracing it. So looking forward 451 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 3: to having Dave on Dodger Talk for the first time 452 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 3: basically since last year. 453 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: Wonderful stuff.

I don't think we would have I mean, 472 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: Rogan and Rodney did the story, which disappointed. Oh no, well, 473 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: what I mean. You know sometimes stories overlap, some form 474 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: of it. Some form of those stories do overlap. Do 475 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: you think we'll ever had Soonica, No or any form 476 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: of it. No, okay, Uh, you've probably seen the story, Matt, 477 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: because it's a day old. But you must address it. 478 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: People are starting to text me and ask me about 479 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: addressing it. The Atlanta Hawks on Monday in Atlanta, which 480 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: is of course where they are for their home game 481 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: against the Orlando Magic, are unveiling the very first NBA 482 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: collaboration with a strip club. That strip club is Magic City, 483 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: famous on the Petrosen Money Show, because Matt money Smith 484 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: of course, went there allegedly thinking that famous kitch. It's alleged, 485 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: that's alleged, thinking that the famous kitchen in Atlanta at 486 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: the Magic City, the famous the eleven Pepper Wings, was 487 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: a separate entity than the actual strip club, or they 488 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: had like a separate place for food, which of course 489 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: they do not and never have. 490 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 2: But now they give you your wings right there in 491 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 2: the strip club. 492 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: You have to go in, and that went in and 493 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: he stayed in like a roach Motel I was with 494 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: other people. Yeah, exactly right. So it's a likely story 495 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: that if Pat O'Brien still worked here would be ide 496 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: what you do. I'm gonna call you what. But they're 497 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: gonna do a Magic City Monday in a strip club 498 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: NBA team collaboration.
