<v Speaker 2>action of the season lose to Tennessee last night nineteen

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>to thirteen.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 3>You know the outcomes matter in preseason JD.

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I do. Yes, I do that for the YouTube crowd.

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 4>Your first beer of the show as well. Here as

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.320
<v Speaker 4>we're out on the patios, it is a patio tradition.

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 4>No bloody at uh yeah, bloody's more like a ten o'clock,

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 4>No bloody at three twenty in the afternoon.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, I don't mind doing bloody at any time

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 3>of the day.

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 4>Really.

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm weird like that.

0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I yeah, I'm kind of like Brett Pitten once upon

0:00:58.240 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 2>a time in Hollywood, where all you know a bloody

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:01.120
<v Speaker 2>mare or eat a bloody Mary.

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 3>I'll drink a bloody marry anytime.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's there is a cutoff for it. It it isn't

0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 4>always like noon, depending upon where we are and the

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 4>night before and all of that. If you need a

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 4>little hair of the dog.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 3>Well is it your go to hangover drink.

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 4>It's not necessarily a go to hangover drink. It's it's

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 4>more of just a go to like first drink. Yeah,

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 4>I got of a new day I could start. If

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna be.

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 3>Day drinking right now, I'm with you on that one.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 4>And so it's yeah, if you're out here at ten o'clock,

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 4>you have one, But it could be if you're out

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 4>here at one or two o'clock you have one, depending

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 4>upon your your night before.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I may have to switch it up.

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 2>And of course, such as his tradition on the patio,

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Bloody's John Bloody's Yeah.

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>I love I love those, oh absolutely.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>So talking football this twenty twenty six forty nine Ers season,

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.560
<v Speaker 2>and you brought up Rock Perdy and how he's looked

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>in training camp so far, and I think you know

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.919
<v Speaker 2>he took some steps for and in like a different direction,

0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I would say a positive direction last year coming back

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>from injury, dealing with the tow and then I thought

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>he lit it up. You look fantastic against the Colts

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that one Monday night game.

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 3>I thought his performance in the playoff game.

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Against the Eagles, even though he threw two interceptions, to

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.359
<v Speaker 2>stay strong in that game, even in the Seahawks game,

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>running for his life for most of that but still

0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 2>playing strong, and we kind of saw it. Mike Sando

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 2>put him up a little bit higher in the quarterback tiers,

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>and he doesn't do that himself. He asks around the

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>league when it comes to opposing coaches and gms. But

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I think we saw more of brock Perty's mobility last

0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>season and this year. I think the biggest question mark

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>is Kenny throw more of the deep ball when he

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>got Mike Evans now in your receiving corps. So what

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>do you want to see as far as you know,

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>a little improvement from brock Perty from last year to

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>this season.

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just wanted to see him continue to be

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 4>brock Purty. I think because of the wide receiving corps,

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 4>there may be different throws to be made that haven't

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 4>necessarily been there in other years. And I think your

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 4>point about Mike Evans is spot on. I think Dejon stribbling.

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm excited to see those two get to

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 4>work together, and I hope we get a chance to

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 4>see them work together coming up in LA for the

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 4>game against the Chargers. I'm not going to be down

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 4>at the joint practice which is going to be coming

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 4>up on Tuesday between the forty nine Ers and the Chargers,

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 4>but I want to see those two work together in

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 4>live action. And I think Stribbling could also add a

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 4>little different element to what Brock Purdy can bring to

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 4>the table. But he's just He's steady, and he got

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 4>better as the season went on after he came back

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 4>from the injury, which I think was impressive down the

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 4>stretch there and help help lead them to that spot

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 4>and help lead them to their win despite the fact

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 4>that he did have a couple of interceptions in the

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 4>playoff win at Philly.

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, during the broadcast last night, Tim Ryan did say

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>that you could see George Kittle out there Week one

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 2>against the Rams, and I kind of don't want to

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>see that.

0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 3>I get it.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I totally understand that George Kittle wants to play. He

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 2>is vital to their success. But thinking about the long haul,

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 2>thinking about seventeen games, don't rush that. Like it's a

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>long flight too to go to Australia, I fifteen hours.

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that.

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean they got by last year from week one

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>on with Jake Tongjis and maybe they add to that

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>tight end room right now. But yeah, I do want

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>to I don't want to see that. Honestly, I don't

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>think you need to rush that. I think that George

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Kittle one of the best tight ends in all the football.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't need them coming back too soon from that

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Achilles tear. I get him wanting to come back. Yeah,

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I get him wanting to be a part of that

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 2>trip too.

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think as much as it has been

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.159
<v Speaker 4>discussed as kind of a burden right the trip and

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 4>it's not what anybody really wants to do to go

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 4>that far to play one game and have to do

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 4>all the prep and the lead up in the week

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 4>and they're going out. We talked a lot about the

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 4>juxtaposition and hey, the Rams are going the day before, yeah,

0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 4>and the Niners are going a week in a day

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 4>before and they're doing the whole full prep week, get

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 4>their acclimate, go through a go through a get it

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 4>out of your system practice and take a day and

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 4>then three more practices and like they're running it like

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 4>it's almost a Super Bowl week essentially, or if they

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 4>were running it as if they were going to practice

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 4>in Santa Clara and then and then fly down to

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.800
<v Speaker 4>Los Angeles and play it at SOFI, so that they're

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 4>getting there, they're acclimated. They're doing it. The Rams doing

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.919
<v Speaker 4>the opposite. So I understand the fun of that. And

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 4>Kittle's about the energy and the vibes, the fun, and

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 4>he wants to be a part of what is going

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 4>to be a cool trip because the Niners, in going early,

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 4>are going to have a little bit more of an

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 4>opportunity to experience it, probably not a lot, but they

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:41.960
<v Speaker 4>are going to have a shot to experience it in

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 4>a manner that the Rams are not going to experience

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 4>it at all. And so I think that there's a poll,

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 4>is what I'm saying. That's a non football poll to

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 4>want to do it. In addition to the I'm George Kittle,

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm a freaking badass. I'm coming back because I'm one

0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 4>of the leaders of this football team and I'm to

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 4>do it before anybody, anybody believed that I could. So

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 4>I think there's an element of that that needs to

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 4>be accounted for. All of that being said, I'm with you, Yeah,

0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm with you, because I think if he isn't fully

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 4>where he needs to be to even make the trip,

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 4>making the trip could potentially cause some issues once they

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 4>come back and have to start playing, like I would

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 4>much rather. But it's not it's a tricky situation. It's

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 4>there are other factors that wouldn't I think normally be

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.479
<v Speaker 4>in play as you discuss his wanting to come back,

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 4>because it's in many ways just a cool experience.

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a cool experience. It could be a good

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>bonding moment for them to be around each other for

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>a week. I mean again that right now in training camp,

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>but also like just to go to Australia to have

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>that moment. But also like George Cail doesn't need to

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>prove anything to anybody, like he's yeah, he's a badass,

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think that it's vital right away that

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 2>he comes back and that's how the season.

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.119
<v Speaker 3>Starts with him there.

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Like he tore that achilles in early January in a

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>playoff game. It's crazy what modern medicine can do right

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 2>now when it comes to the NFL. You got Patrick

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes coming back, probably gonna start Week one, but he's

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback. If he stands in the pocket and you know,

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>limits his mobility, then maybe he'll be finding that torn

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 2>acl same thing with Daniel Jones where he tore his achilles.

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think late November, early December, whatever it

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>was for guys like Micah Parsons or George Kittle. No, like,

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>it's okay, come back when you can. Don't rush it,

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>and then we need you whin we're making a playoff run.

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 4>No, it's totally understand. It was January eleventh. Yeah, I

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 4>mean you go back to it, and so we're talking

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 4>at that point basically eight months. Yeah, eight months, which

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 4>is incredible. So I think the smart play is probably

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 4>to wait. Yeah, but again, I think his desire. I

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 4>don't think it's necessarily something to prove in terms of

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 4>his toughness or anything like that. I just think it's

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 4>the desire to be with the guys on such a

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 4>significant part of what this twenty twenty six teams journey

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 4>will be. Now, look, they'll get back home and they'll

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 4>get back in the rhythm and they'll play the three

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 4>home games and everybody'll forget about they went to Australia

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 4>right at that point. But I do think it is

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 4>a unique experience that would lead to more conversation about

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 4>him pressing to be ready to play. Then maybe you

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 4>would ordinarily.

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Hear yeah, I mean I would just me like I

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 2>would advise against that. I understand that George Kittle wants

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.839
<v Speaker 2>to wants to start the season the right way by

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 2>playing football, but this injury kinds recently happened.

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 4>If you told me they were targeting Week two at home,

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 4>is then that much of a difference the three games, Like,

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 4>I think that would be appropriate. I mean, I just

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 4>think I would feel I would feel a little bit

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 4>differently about that. But again, to me, the recovery is

0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:02.199
<v Speaker 4>where the recovery is. It may prove to not be feasible.

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we'll see he's not on the practice field yet,

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 4>so we're like we're gonna know, like if it is

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 4>a realistic shot to happen, we're gonna know because they're

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.839
<v Speaker 4>getting on that plane. What's September second, Yeah, so that's

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.400
<v Speaker 4>nineteen days away.

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.559
<v Speaker 3>So if he's on the trip, yeah.

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if he's on the trip, well he has

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 4>to be on the trip if he's gonna play, of course,

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 4>so if you don't get on the plane, you're not

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 4>playing in the game. But he's gonna have to be

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 4>activated before then and be at practice. And they practice

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 4>schedule just came out for this next little block here,

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 4>and it's gonna be similar to the last few blocks.

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna go Tomorrow and Sunday in Santa Clara. They're

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 4>gonna have a walk through Monday, and then head down

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 4>to Los Angeles and practice in El Segundo with the

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.199
<v Speaker 4>Chargers on Tuesday. So the two days and then the

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 4>walkthrough without media availability Monday, and then they head down

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.600
<v Speaker 4>Monday to LA and they'll practice with the Chargers. That's

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 4>the heavy practice, right, the last one before the day

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 4>prior to game, and then they'll play the Chargers coming

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 4>up on Thursday at seven o'clock.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Just real quick, like, what have you made of the

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>difference in the travel schedules between the Niners and the

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 2>forty or sorry, the the Niners in the Rams?

0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Crazy where I've.

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Heard this before with the Rams where six Yeah, like

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 2>last year they went to London.

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I think they I think they.

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Went from Baltimore straight to London, so it's not that

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 2>bad of a trip. But they've done that before where

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>we're just going to travel twenty four hours ahead, and

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 2>they had a great game. I think they routed the

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Jaguars thirty five to seven, so they weren't you tired

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.200
<v Speaker 2>or anything like that. Where the Niners going to make

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>a long trip out of it, but the Rams like

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>no in and out, we're done.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 4>They're trying to time it to where they're essentially playing

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 4>on adrenaline. Yeah, they're playing on a little bit of sleep,

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 4>like one night of sleep and adrenaline. Yeah, and not

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 4>even think about the fact that you're going as far

0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 4>as you're going and go there, handle business right back

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 4>on the plane back home, and then take a few

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 4>days to reacclimate and get back into your more normal

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.240
<v Speaker 4>routine for for the weeks to come. So, if anything,

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 4>I feel like the forty nine ers have to have

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 4>an advantage though you think going into it, I mean,

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.040
<v Speaker 4>I just I mean, and I know it's always a

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 4>debate how the Niners handle injuries and how they handle

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 4>the schedule, and how they all these different things. I mean, logically,

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 4>I was talking with Copes and Todd Husack about this

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 4>last night on the post game. Logically speaking, how can

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>the forty nine ers not have the advantage in the

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 4>way that in the way that they're doing it.

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't mean it's gonna work out well, I

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>would say lately in sports for that game.

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Maybe Now, maybe maybe the rams are also part

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 4>of the equation. Maybe the rams are not putting as

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 4>much on that one game. Maybe they're like, we're rolling

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 4>the dice on this game and we're gonna play it out,

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 4>but we're gonna be better for everything else we have ahead.

0:11:59.000 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 2>You know what's funny is Kyle's talked about this openly

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 2>for a while now than what the plan is as

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 2>far as their schedule. When Sean McVay has asked us,

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 2>he's like, I don't want to talk about it. People

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 2>are making too much a big deal out of it.

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Our schedules were our schedule.

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.080
<v Speaker 4>It's a mental thing. Yeah, And there is definitely a

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:20.080
<v Speaker 4>difference in philosophy as similar as Kyle Shanahan and McVeagh

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 4>are I feel like Kyle is more rigid, Oh yeah,

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 4>and McVeigh is more a bleep it like we'll just we'll.

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Just show us around with the media, where Kyle's like,

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I just want to get in and out of these

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 2>press corps.

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.319
<v Speaker 4>And I think and look, I mean, Kyle's affable and

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 4>he's he's friendly and even funny and different things like

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 4>especially when he's when he's on with you guys, and

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 4>so it's like he's he's I'm not saying he's tight

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 4>or anything like that, but I do think he is

0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 4>much more structured, shall we say, than that. I think

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 4>they both are to be to be clear, but I

0:12:55.160 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 4>think he is more structured and prepared in certain way.

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean they're both prepared, but in a more I

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.439
<v Speaker 4>guess in a more traditional He's more traditional, he's more

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.719
<v Speaker 4>old school. Yes, I feel like Kyle even though he's

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:09.440
<v Speaker 4>a young guy.

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:10.240
<v Speaker 3>He's like that.

0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 4>Even though he's a young guy, and I think he

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 4>vibes with young younger players and athletes and all of that,

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 4>he is much more I think of an old soul

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.400
<v Speaker 4>when it comes to his football acumen.

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well I would.

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I would ask you the most important question, should he

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 2>go mustache or no mustache?

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 3>By way?

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.679
<v Speaker 4>Oh oh, that's an easy one for me. That's an

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 4>easy one for me. Yes, no mustache.

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 3>You're not a mustache.

0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 4>No, mustache. Come, no, no much.

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.559
<v Speaker 3>You're not a magne p I guy.

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, big Tom Salae guy, big big Tom Salae guy. Actually,

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 4>but uh, I mean it's not nineteen eighty three, okay there.

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's gonna make a pull it off. I think that, Kyle,

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:56.120
<v Speaker 3>can you.

0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.959
<v Speaker 4>Know in the peak peak original magne p I, like

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 4>nineteen eighty four, Like it's not nineteen eighty four. Yeah, so,

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 4>I you know, I I'm not a fan. I do

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 4>whatever you want, Kyle, but it just seems a little

0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 4>seems a little weird. But yeah, I don't know that

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 4>that could also just be me making it weird in

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 4>my head.

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't pull off a mustache myself. I just don't

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 2>think that that's a good look for me, I think.

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 3>But but I think Kyle pulls it off.

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>So, you know, if he's feeling good, let's let's let's

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 2>bring the preseason the regular.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 4>He pulls it off. And I say this kiddingly, like, yeah,

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.240
<v Speaker 4>he pulls it off, but there's a little there's just

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 4>a little too much. Jeff Fisher, Oh in there, Well.

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 3>We got some seven and nine bs going on.

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 4>Remember no, no, no, no, no, not the record, no, no, no,

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 4>like that, but yes, I remember I went hard knocks

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 4>with that mustache being like just that that those that

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 4>behavior right there.

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 3>That's some seven and nine bs.

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 4>Was it was it a wedding or a party or

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 4>what was the thing where Kyle he had the mustache

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 4>going and he was like all suited up and he

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 4>had the flow going in the back and I'm like,

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 4>got this. He looks like Jeff Fisher.

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I actually don't remember that. It might have been, might

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 2>have been McCaffrey's wedding.

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I actually remember he was he was

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:12.680
<v Speaker 3>he was.

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I just it for me. I shouldn't

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 4>be making it awkward, but i'd shave the dash all right.

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.200
<v Speaker 4>It seems like he's gonna keep it. I don't. I

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 4>don't know. Maybe he's been asked about it and.

0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I miss I think, yes, I think Eric Branch brought

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 2>it up. But he was like, if people keep asking

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 2>me about this, I made.

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 3>To shave it off.

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that wasn't my first question when we talked to

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 2>him this year. But I'll probably leave it alone.

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 4>I think he's I would think he's probably gonna shave

0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 4>it before the open.

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I would think that would be my guests.

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 4>Four.

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Wait, no, I'm kidding. Five.

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 2>If you have an opinion about the stash by all

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.280
<v Speaker 2>means call in. But let's change things up. Let's talk

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 2>a little Warriors JAD because.

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 4>It's a little too ted Lasso.

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 3>You think so a little bit? Are you a Lasso guy?

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 4>Sure? But I don't like season one.

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Everything after that, I was like, I don't like. Yeah, yeah,

0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 3>I hear you on that one.

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 2>And as far as Tom Selleck, as far as the Warriors.

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:05.440
<v Speaker 3>The schedule came out.

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to get your thoughts about the schedule coming

0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 2>out a little later in the show. But I want

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 2>to get your thoughts on some of the comments made

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 2>by Mike de Levy Junior and Joe lakeup about this

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>offseason and would they entertain trading Steph Curry very odd

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>comments the last few days.

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about it.

0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.520

<v Speaker 2>We're back, Derek Papa, John Dickinson for the Little Dirty Work

0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 2>On a Friday at fifty eight Social Marcus Thomps is

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna join us in about thirteen minutes talking about the

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Warriors off season, some comments from Mike Delevy Junior and

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Joe Lakeup and really good article he wrote the other

0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 2>day about the passing of Don Nelson's ask him about

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 2>that as well. But Jad Tuck, let's let's talk some

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Warriors here. And Mike de Levy Junior was at forty

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 2>nine ers practice a.

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Couple of days ago to joint practice. Did you see

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 3>him there?

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 4>And did jew he was there? Yeah? Yeah, didn't didn't

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 4>get a chance to shot with him right right. And

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 4>then I forgot that he was doing the call at

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 4>two o'clock and I was driving home and I'm like, ah,

0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 4>he's doing the call right now.

0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:23.919
<v Speaker 3>He's doing the call. Wasn't on the call, but he

0:17:23.960 --> 0:17:25.119
<v Speaker 3>was talking to John Lynch.

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.600
<v Speaker 2>And then he did a prescott our little media zoom

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 2>talking about the Warriors offseason, and some fans didn't like

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 2>his comments, and we.

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Tried we make calls. A lot of reaction on social media.

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.919
<v Speaker 2>I think people coming down his road like he was

0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.080
<v Speaker 2>far anziety or something like I get.

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:41.160
<v Speaker 3>It like he's been built.

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 2>He's been dealt a pretty hard hand here where he's

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.879
<v Speaker 2>had to fill the shoes a Bob Myers and try to,

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, bring in some big time talent in Steph

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Curry's remaining year. So how would you evaluate Mike to

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Levy's job as a GM so far?

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.680
<v Speaker 4>I think he's done a solid job overall. I think

0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.679
<v Speaker 4>his draft picks have been solid. I think that Jimmy

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:04.719
<v Speaker 4>Butler trade, while I've said a ton, is one that

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:07.399
<v Speaker 4>fell into their lap because Jimmy Butler had tanked his

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 4>value with Miami to a point where you didn't have

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.359
<v Speaker 4>to give up a lot to get him. That being said,

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.480
<v Speaker 4>they still did give up the draft pick that was

0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 4>coming up the closest and they were comfortable with where

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 4>that draft was going back to twenty twenty five. To

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.199
<v Speaker 4>give up that pick and you give up Andrew Wiggins,

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 4>you got to give up somebody in a salary match

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 4>in an attempt to make it happen. And they cobbled

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.680
<v Speaker 4>together a bunch of other money and pieces to go

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 4>different places to make that trade ultimately work. So there

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 4>are a bunch of things that had to be done

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 4>to do it, and he was able to get it done.

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 4>But as far as the actual player and his relationship

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:44.719
<v Speaker 4>with Jimmy, I think is part of why that trade

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 4>did come to fruition, So I think he gets credit

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 4>for that. I think the frustrating thing, though, is the

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 4>inaction otherwise right and the unwillingness seemingly to pivot with

0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.919
<v Speaker 4>Jimmy Butler's injury to it'll basically go with some shorter

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 4>term options to where if you accept the fact and

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.120
<v Speaker 4>I think the Warriors have accepted the fact that they're

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.199
<v Speaker 4>no longer championship contenders, I think that that started with

0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 4>them losing in Phoenix in April. I think everybody's accepted it.

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 4>I think Steph has accepted it. I think Steve Kerrs

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.440
<v Speaker 4>accepted it. I think Dunleavy's accepted it. Joe lacub not

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 4>necessarily on the record, has accepted it.

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Raymond's accepted it.

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 4>I think everybody's accepted it. Yeah, I think Raymond's accepted it.

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 4>So when you accept that and you understand that the

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.960
<v Speaker 4>team that you had at the end of last year

0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.680
<v Speaker 4>is also likely going to be the team if you

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 4>don't change it that you bring back to begin next year,

0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.919
<v Speaker 4>why not do something a little different. And that doesn't

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 4>always mean for all the people that are screaming at

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 4>fans and are screaming it at me, that are saying, well,

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.880
<v Speaker 4>what would you have done, JD, I would have done

0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 4>something else. Yeah, I really would have. And look, I'm

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm not opposed to bringing the guys back that they

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 4>brought back either. Like I talked for the last two

0:20:09.960 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 4>months of this season on dubzot about how you'd want

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.120
<v Speaker 4>to bring Porzingis back, and you'd like to have Horford back,

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 4>and Melton's a good player and all that, but that

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.600
<v Speaker 4>can't be it. And you know, the Axellndenberg looks like

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 4>a really good pick. You don't want to put too

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:25.959
<v Speaker 4>much on his plate in terms of having to be

0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 4>a savior in year one for a team that's waiting

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.159
<v Speaker 4>for their second best player to come back in the

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.600
<v Speaker 4>middle or maybe later than the middle of the season.

0:20:34.720 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 4>So I would have looked to have moved Jimmy Butler's contract.

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 4>I would have looked to have have got have brought

0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:45.879
<v Speaker 4>in maybe some talented players that aren't necessarily going to

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 4>get you back to championship contention, and yes, would have

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.520
<v Speaker 4>cost you first round draft capital in the near future,

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:55.199
<v Speaker 4>not all your picks, not not four future firsts and

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 4>three swaps, and like nobody's saying that, but you give

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 4>up a couple of first round picks in an attempt

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.880
<v Speaker 4>to get player X, Y or Z that can improve

0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 4>your team off of what this is going into this season.

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.240
<v Speaker 4>To me, once you accept you can't win a title anymore,

0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 4>then it should be free to be more aggressive. And

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 4>for whatever reason, And I know dun Levey had said, hey,

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.880
<v Speaker 4>there are a bunch of things that you know were

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.360
<v Speaker 4>if you only knew the calls we made, and things

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:30.800
<v Speaker 4>you only knew could have been done and almost happened,

0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:33.040
<v Speaker 4>and we're on the table. And fine, I don't I

0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:36.919
<v Speaker 4>don't even disagree with that, right, but it is not

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 4>a good look for this team to be exactly the same.

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Plus the Axelnde bird to the team that got beat

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:46.520
<v Speaker 4>on April eighteenth in Phoenix.

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:48.680
<v Speaker 3>Now, I mean it's not good.

0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I think they're kind of delusional to be honest, when

0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 2>I hear Joe Laku go on with Tim Kawakami and

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 2>say like, well, you know we were injured last year

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and we'll bring back all these players you weren't good

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.920
<v Speaker 2>before that let's be honest. Jimmy Butler said, we're mediocre,

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:03.720
<v Speaker 2>and then he got hurt, and then Steph.

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Curry got hurt. What it took him too long to

0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 4>get going? Yeah, they were two under five hundred and

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:11.480
<v Speaker 4>then they got going. Here's where I think it even

0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:14.640
<v Speaker 4>goes back farther. I think they were foolish to believe,

0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 4>not that the team wasn't capable of being the twenty

0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 4>three and eight team that finished two years ago twenty

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 4>four to twenty five season, but to think that that

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.640
<v Speaker 4>would translate over eighty two games, or even or translate

0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 4>over the healthy portion of Jimmy Butler season last year.

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.200
<v Speaker 4>To me, that was a fool's errand. And the reason

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 4>that was a fool's errand was because of how hard

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.840
<v Speaker 4>the Warriors had to work to win those games. To

0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 4>get to that twenty three they busted their ass every

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 4>single night for a third of the season, took only

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 4>two to three games that they punted on. I think

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:54.119
<v Speaker 4>in that stretch maybe two and so they were again

0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 4>twenty three and eight, they were really like they were

0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:59.560
<v Speaker 4>really or twenty yeah, twenty one and eight, twenty three

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 4>and eight, yeah, yeah, twenty three. Sorry, I got them

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 4>at twenty three and eight. It probably could have been

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 4>twenty three and six, right, you know, because there were

0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:07.760
<v Speaker 4>a couple that they kind of punted on there. So

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 4>you weren't going to be that team because it's going

0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 4>to be too hard to bring that level of intent

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.439
<v Speaker 4>every night. And that's even before the injuries over an

0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 4>eighty two game schedule. So to me, you had to

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 4>build a team that you knew that could be the

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:24.360
<v Speaker 4>ceiling for that team, but was better equipped to get

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.200
<v Speaker 4>through the regular season. They didn't do that, and then

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:31.199
<v Speaker 4>they kind of were lazy through the beginning part of

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:33.480
<v Speaker 4>the season. They were under five hundred. They had to

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:35.920
<v Speaker 4>have a get your bleep together meeting to try to

0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 4>get on a roll. They were getting on a roll,

0:23:39.840 --> 0:23:42.200
<v Speaker 4>but then Jimmy Butler got hurt and they were six

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 4>over instead of maybe fourteen over because they hadn't had

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 4>the proper night in, night out compete up until that point.

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.440
<v Speaker 4>And then the whole thing falls apart, as it obviously

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 4>would with not only Jimmy out and then and then

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:59.760
<v Speaker 4>Steph out, but to now have Mike Dunleavy come out

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 4>and well, we love this team, and he's in essence

0:24:02.760 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 4>saying he still thinks the team they have now is

0:24:05.200 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 4>the same team that finished twenty four to twenty five

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 4>that level of good, even though we're talking about now

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 4>two years older on top of multiple injuries. It it's foolish,

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 4>it really is. So I don't I don't think Dunleevey's

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 4>bad at his job. I think there's a lot of

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 4>circumstances that are unique to this situation with ownership and ownership, sons,

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:27.479
<v Speaker 4>involvements and things, you know, in terms of being in

0:24:27.520 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 4>the front office that he can't always get the final

0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 4>say that he needs to maybe make something happen, and

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 4>they have to get everybody to sign off on it.

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:41.640
<v Speaker 4>So I think there's an issue there. But to think

0:24:41.680 --> 0:24:43.800
<v Speaker 4>that you're just gonna run it back is just and

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 4>then everybody should just be okay with it, like what

0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 4>It's one thing to say you want to run it back,

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:50.920
<v Speaker 4>but then to almost have the expectation that the fans

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:54.720
<v Speaker 4>should be cool with it or something's wrong with them.

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:59.159
<v Speaker 4>That's that's that's a joke. Frankly, that's that's embarrassing. No,

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:02.120
<v Speaker 4>it is to think that there would not be pushback

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 4>off of running it back. Plus y Axel and just

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 4>kind of waiting for Jimmy and thinking that you're gonna

0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 4>be okay, and then putting added pressure on Staph to

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:13.960
<v Speaker 4>carry the load in the first half of the season.

0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:15.760
<v Speaker 4>What's he gonna have left in the second half? And oh,

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:17.159
<v Speaker 4>by the way, what happens if he gets hurt in

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 4>the first half. Again, it's a long it's a rant

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 4>that I've gone on a couple of different times here

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:27.359
<v Speaker 4>on these Sports leader over the last couple of months.

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:34.679
<v Speaker 4>But nobody should be chastising Warrior fans for not being

0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 4>accepting of the way they've handled this offseason.

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 3>No, it's ridiculous.

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that to expect Jimmy Butler to return from

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.040
<v Speaker 2>a torn acl and they'll be a better team.

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 3>I don't see that.

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't see Moses Moody coming back from an injury

0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:50.720
<v Speaker 2>at any point this season. It almost feels like they

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of run things now like the Pittsburgh Steelers where

0:25:53.320 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 2>being ten and seven status quo. That's good for us,

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 2>for the Warriors to be in the play in but

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 2>they're not gonna be that well yeah, I mean no.

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 2>The thing is like, if that was.

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 4>The case, if it was, hey, we can get to

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:06.399
<v Speaker 4>the sixth seed. I think I think that would be.

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:09.199
<v Speaker 4>But they're they're delusional in thinking, like, what do you

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:10.200
<v Speaker 4>think they think their.

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Ceiling is be a top six team in the West?

0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:15.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what is there? What is there? What is the

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 4>reality of their ceiling? Nine ten seed and the reality

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:22.400
<v Speaker 4>is seven at the absolute highest. Yeah, with the team

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 4>they currently have, it's probably like nine. Yeah, it's probably

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 4>like nine to twelve, nine to thirteen in the in

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:31.320
<v Speaker 4>the Western Conference, right.

0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:33.280
<v Speaker 2>So that's I thought it was ridiculous when Joe Lacup

0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>went on with TK and said, you know, our fans

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 2>expect this and that, well, because you set that mentality

0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:41.719
<v Speaker 2>years ago where you said, you know, I don't care

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 2>what the rules are, I'm gonna spend this amount of

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:45.840
<v Speaker 2>money to get these superstars. And now it's like, guys,

0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:49.399
<v Speaker 2>in the last ten years, we've won four championships.

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:50.399
<v Speaker 3>Aren't you guys happy with that?

0:26:50.440 --> 0:26:52.959
<v Speaker 2>And as a fan, yes I am, But don't expect

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 2>fans to feel the same way.

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:54.959
<v Speaker 3>And that's ridiculous.

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 2>So real quick, we don't need to play the audio,

0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 2>but just your thoughts on Mike to only be junior.

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:01.119
<v Speaker 2>I thought maybe this was his biggest misstep as a

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 2>GM so far. I don't know why he said this,

0:27:03.800 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 2>but the whole Danny Immerman asking him, like, has Steph

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:09.159
<v Speaker 2>maybe alluded to you guys that he doesn't want to

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.000
<v Speaker 2>sign back, and he kept going on and on and on, saying,

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 2>if there's a point where Steph comes to me and

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 2>Joe and says, I don't want to be here anymore,

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:18.399
<v Speaker 2>we kind of have to entertain, then it grant that

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 2>for him.

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 3>I thought that came out of nowhere.

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I thought that. Actually, I will say I thought

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 4>that actually got a little blown out of proportion. Okay,

0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:30.200
<v Speaker 4>I think I think he's acknowledging, Hey, that isn't the case,

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:34.639
<v Speaker 4>that isn't where we are right now. But if Steph

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 4>I think I actually think he was just being real.

0:27:37.080 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Like if Steph did, I don't view it as the

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 4>Warriors would prefer that to happen, but I but I

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:47.160
<v Speaker 4>think that's where the that's where the anger comes from,

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:48.840
<v Speaker 4>that's where the frustration comes from. Me.

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that the Warriors prefer that happened. I

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 2>just think it's a weird thing to say where.

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:56.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think it's I think it's an obvious thing

0:27:56.359 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 4>to say though, Like if Steph came to them they'd

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.160
<v Speaker 4>work with him. But I think they also and Joel

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:05.640
<v Speaker 4>Aka mentioned this to Tim KAALAKAMEDI, they also are really

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 4>confident he's not going.

0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 3>To do that.

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So I think they look at that, and I

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 4>will give them the benefit of the doubt on that.

0:28:11.400 --> 0:28:12.719
<v Speaker 4>I think they look at that as kind of an

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 4>eye roll. It's like, well, yeah, he answered the question

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 4>in the literal, most literal term. I mean like if

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 4>Steph came to them and said I want out, they

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:22.199
<v Speaker 4>would trade him.

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't doubt that.

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 4>So I don't doubt think he was answering. Honestly, I

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 4>don't know. I'll let you what what. I'll let you finished.

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:30.560
<v Speaker 3>I just thought I just thought it wasn't anything that

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 3>needed to be said.

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I just thought it was a weird thing where not

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 2>to compare him to Bob Myers all the time, but

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Bob wouldn't say anything like that in Joe. I don't

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 2>know if he told Tim Kallakami, I want to go

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>on your podcast to you know, clear the.

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Air here, but I could imagine it was probably already

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:44.320
<v Speaker 4>in the works.

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 2>Probably, But like I think I think he, you know,

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 2>let it be known, like we're not trading Steph Curry.

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Not that I thought that.

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Mike dellingby Junior thought that are are kind of like

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 2>alluded to them. Maybe they will do that, But I

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:54.760
<v Speaker 2>just thought it was a weird thing to bring up,

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of a couple of.

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:57.720
<v Speaker 4>Years ago where Well Yet asked a question. I know,

0:28:57.840 --> 0:28:58.040
<v Speaker 4>but the.

0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Question wasn't if Steph Curry came to you and said

0:29:00.760 --> 0:29:01.440
<v Speaker 2>he wants to be traded?

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Would you entertain that he brought that up on his own.

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was just random to bring up, and

0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 2>then Joe kind of acts like, Oh, that's bull crap,

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 2>that's just stuff the media brings up.

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.480
<v Speaker 4>No, your GM brought up yesterday. No, he brought it up.

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.240
<v Speaker 4>It look gets fair to discuss it. But I also

0:29:14.320 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 4>think it's fair if you're Joe Lakub to say it's

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:22.200
<v Speaker 4>a little bit silly to think that that would that

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 4>that would be what would happen? Yeah, because I think

0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 4>they're really confident that Steph's not going to do that,

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 4>and I think they're adamant that they don't want him

0:29:31.880 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 4>to do that. And that's the part where again I

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 4>will say I disagree with a certain portion of the

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:41.240
<v Speaker 4>fan base that thinks that like The Warriors essentially want

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Steph to go to them and say, hey, I want out,

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 4>because now they can rebuild, and Joe would rather really

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 4>rebuild quicker. Yeah, but I don't think Joelcob wants to

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:53.479
<v Speaker 4>rebuild more quickly than he necessarily has to because the

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 4>moment at which Steph is gone, Chase Center's half full. Yeah,

0:29:57.680 --> 0:30:00.480
<v Speaker 4>until the Warriors are good again, And that's just reality.

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.880

0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:05.120

<v Speaker 2>in Giants Tonight. John Dickinson Derek Poppa talking some Warriors

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 2>off season. We're talking about the Mike and Levy Junior

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 2>quote a couple of days ago where he brought up

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of out of left field that uh, I mean,

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:22.960
<v Speaker 2>not out of left field. I should say that's that

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:23.760
<v Speaker 2>that's a little much, but.

0:31:24.000 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 4>Was asked, but he I think he just got and look,

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to speak for him on this. I'll

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 4>let you finish your point. I think he just got

0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:36.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of caught where he'd take it too. Honestly, sometimes

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 4>you just you start giving an answer and you don't

0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 4>know where it's going. I mean it happens to you

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.240
<v Speaker 4>and me on this, but you just start you just

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 4>start talking and you kind of wind yourself into a

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 4>weird spot, right, and you either give something that maybe

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:51.360
<v Speaker 4>you didn't you didn't necessarily want to, or you talk

0:31:51.400 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 4>about something in a little bit of a different way.

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 4>I think I think that's what happened. I think it

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 4>was kind of an honest miss. I don't even want

0:31:57.520 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 4>to call the mistake because I don't even think it's

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 4>necessarily a thing. Although anything related to Steph Curry in

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:06.240
<v Speaker 4>this market is obviously going to become a thing, of course,

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 4>especially if you're talking about the prospect of him going

0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 4>and asking for a trade to not be a Golden

0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 4>State Warrior anymore.

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, the question that Danny Emmerman asked was has Steph

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 2>given you any indication that he wouldn't want to sign

0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 2>an extension this offseason? And Mike, you know what, let's

0:32:22.000 --> 0:32:23.640
<v Speaker 2>just play the clip play it. Yeah, this is Mike

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.120
<v Speaker 2>a couple of days ago, asked about Steph Curry's future

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 2>with the Warriors.

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:30.520
<v Speaker 6>I think there's two things I'm confident about with Steph.

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:33.320
<v Speaker 6>He really really wants to win, and he wants to

0:32:33.360 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 6>finish his career as a Warrior, and that's I don't

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:41.680
<v Speaker 6>think that changes tomorrow. August twenty ninth, the start of

0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:45.320
<v Speaker 6>the season, middle of the season, the end of next season.

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:47.720
<v Speaker 6>I think that's those things are going to be consistent.

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 4>No, he hasn't.

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 6>That's always been the message. That's always been sort of

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 6>what we discussed, and I think that's you tracking quite well. Obviously,

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 6>he's for an extension coming up at the end of

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 6>this month, and you know, we'll talk through all that

0:33:05.400 --> 0:33:07.440
<v Speaker 6>stuff and can't speak on it much right now, but

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 6>you know, I'm pretty confidence Steph will finish his career here.

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 6>But you know, ultimately it's his it's his it's his call,

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:19.440
<v Speaker 6>his decision, whether that's all in his contract to run

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.120
<v Speaker 6>out and move on or you know, look, if he

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.600
<v Speaker 6>comes to me and wants to be moved, you know,

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 6>Joe and I will talk it through. We wouldn't love it,

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 6>but he's earned the right to do where he wants

0:33:30.720 --> 0:33:33.200
<v Speaker 6>to do those things. So, but but as far as

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:37.400
<v Speaker 6>the messaging or any idea that he would be anywhere else,

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 6>that's not a thing we're looking at, or he's looking at.

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So the meat and potatoes of what he's saying

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>is the important stuff. In the beginning of that response,

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:50.400
<v Speaker 2>where he believes that Steph Cerry wants to finish.

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 4>His beginning in the end. I mean he said it

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 4>at the beginning and the end.

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, But I thought there was just multiple times where

0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 2>he could have just stopped instead of saying, now, if

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 2>he wants to let his contract play out a runout,

0:34:01.760 --> 0:34:03.480
<v Speaker 2>or if he comes to us and asks for a trade.

0:34:03.520 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the part where I'm like, you know, how things

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 2>are dissected. It was a talking point with the national

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 2>media on ESPN, should Steph Curry ask for a trade?

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 2>And when the GM acknowledges that, it just kind of

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 2>has more fuel to the fire.

0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:17.799
<v Speaker 4>It's fair for it to be a talking point. Yeah,

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 4>of course, number one, because it is fair to wonder.

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 4>I mean I've wondered it. I think Warrior fans have

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 4>wondered when they look at what has been done to

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 4>build this roster or not a lot of other stars

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:34.040
<v Speaker 4>would have already gone in and said, hey, you need

0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:36.600
<v Speaker 4>to do this, this and this, or I want out.

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 4>Even given four championships like, there are a lot of

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 4>players that would have already done that. So it's a

0:34:44.640 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 4>fair talking point, regardless of whether you agree with it

0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:50.680
<v Speaker 4>or not. He wants to finish his career as a warrior.

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 4>Mike Dudleyby said that always been the message, always been

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 4>discussed that that way, and so I don't know. I

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 4>think he was just being honest in that, Hey, this

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:03.239
<v Speaker 4>is what it would look like if it ever got

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:06.799
<v Speaker 4>to that point where it changed, if it changed in

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 4>terms of that opinion. I also think if if if

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 4>Steph's opinion changed and he wanted to apply pressure to

0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:16.839
<v Speaker 4>the front office, which I don't believe that he's done,

0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 4>we can get Marcus Thompson's take on that.

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:21.080
<v Speaker 3>He's going to join us at four thirty.

0:35:21.480 --> 0:35:27.239
<v Speaker 4>If if that's the case, then I mean, you look

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:30.319
<v Speaker 4>at this whole situation, and I think it's much ado

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 4>about nothing, honestly, because if he wants to not be around,

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.480
<v Speaker 4>he would tell him that and they would again they

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:43.439
<v Speaker 4>would have to, I think, respect his wishes and look

0:35:43.480 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 4>to move him. But he hasn't wanted to do that

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 4>to this point in time. So I think whatever Mike

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 4>Dunlevy said in between is it Honestly, it's kind of irrelevant.

0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 4>I think it's or it's it's kind of a duh,

0:35:55.600 --> 0:35:58.239
<v Speaker 4>Like of course they would look to it looked either

0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:00.280
<v Speaker 4>look to move him because he would want to be moved,

0:36:00.440 --> 0:36:03.320
<v Speaker 4>or again, Steph would have the opportunity to apply that pressure,

0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 4>and then we'll see what the worri like if he

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:08.960
<v Speaker 4>applied that pressure, which he hasn't done. Would the Warriors

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:10.719
<v Speaker 4>be more apt to give up more to look to

0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:12.680
<v Speaker 4>improve this team in the short term. Maybe they would,

0:36:12.760 --> 0:36:16.040
<v Speaker 4>maybe they wouldn't. But to this point, Steph hasn't applied

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 4>that pressure to where they felt they've needed to necessarily

0:36:19.560 --> 0:36:21.319
<v Speaker 4>do that. Which, Oh, by the way, a lot of

0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 4>Warrior fans are ticked about because Steph's too nice and

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:28.680
<v Speaker 4>maybe the Warriors are taking advantage of Steph being too nice.

0:36:28.880 --> 0:36:30.920
<v Speaker 2>No, but you know what, I appreciate that because so

0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:33.440
<v Speaker 2>many guys play this card. If I'm a superstar, I

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 2>want to get the hell out of here, and should

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry do that? Maybe, but I do appreciate it.

0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:39.960
<v Speaker 4>You can always threaten it and not do it.

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:43.600
<v Speaker 2>But I also think that Steph likes being here. I

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 2>think that he likes that Steve Kurrz coming back. He

0:36:45.680 --> 0:36:48.400
<v Speaker 2>likes the Draymonds here, So even though they're not contending

0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 2>for a championship, as you said earlier, he feels content

0:36:51.560 --> 0:36:54.560
<v Speaker 2>about that. Like talking to Marcus Thompson and Moses Moody's thing.

0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I know what the plan is, and you know,

0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 2>it's good to go out and try to get a

0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James or inquire out Gian honest, but there's a

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:02.359
<v Speaker 2>lot of guys out there.

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:03.240
<v Speaker 3>That I didn't want to get.

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:04.880
<v Speaker 2>And you know what, Steph plays a role in this

0:37:04.960 --> 0:37:07.040
<v Speaker 2>as well, Like people get up in arms about Mike

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:09.960
<v Speaker 2>don Levy Junior or sorry Mike, Mike Dunlevy or Joe

0:37:10.040 --> 0:37:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Lacup and they're like, why are they more aggressive?

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Steph is also kind of like I don't want that guy.

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't want to go get a lot remarking,

0:37:16.200 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to go get that superstar. I'd

0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:20.480
<v Speaker 2>rather just play with the guys we have. So I'm

0:37:20.520 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 2>not taking Steph Curry out of the equation either. It's just

0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I thought it was puzzling that he

0:37:25.239 --> 0:37:27.319
<v Speaker 2>would bring that up. But you're right, Jad, when you

0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 2>look at the or you listen to the quote altogether,

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 2>yes it's duh, of course it is, but I still

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 2>think it needed to be said. But Joe Lacup was

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:38.440
<v Speaker 2>asked about this with Tim Kawakami on his podcast asked

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 2>if Steph Cury will sign a contract in the next

0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:41.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks here.

0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we have to have that conversation with him.

0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:46.759
<v Speaker 5>It's not the date yet, we're not really we're not

0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:49.920
<v Speaker 5>at that point, but we're getting close. We'll have that conversation.

0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:53.120
<v Speaker 5>We'll see what he wants to do, what his camp

0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:56.480
<v Speaker 5>wants to do. Mike and our group will, you know,

0:37:57.360 --> 0:38:00.759
<v Speaker 5>decide what's the appropriate thing from our end. But my

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:04.520
<v Speaker 5>guess is Steph, I wouldn't worry about this too much.

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:08.240
<v Speaker 5>You know, Steph loves it here. We love him here.

0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:11.680
<v Speaker 5>I don't want Steph to go anywhere. I really can't

0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:14.720
<v Speaker 5>imagine a scenario where he's going anywhere. I think we'll

0:38:14.719 --> 0:38:15.839
<v Speaker 5>do what needs to be done.

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I'm not surprised.

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that they may have some indication that he's

0:38:20.160 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 2>going to sign the next couple of weeks here.

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.040
<v Speaker 3>But I would be shocking that he wouldn't put pen

0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:24.520
<v Speaker 3>to paper.

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, I I don't know about that, and the reason

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:33.399
<v Speaker 4>why is not anything as far as him not wanting

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:36.480
<v Speaker 4>to be with the Warriors. But I wonder if he

0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:40.399
<v Speaker 4>goes with his version of let's say what Draymond Green did,

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 4>which is give the Warriors more flexibility by not signing

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:47.080
<v Speaker 4>the extension immediately, because if he signs the extension immediately,

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:50.719
<v Speaker 4>that money is on the books, right and so you

0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:55.640
<v Speaker 4>have less money to maneuver with next off season, even

0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 4>with Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green potentially coming off the books,

0:38:58.680 --> 0:39:02.279
<v Speaker 4>you could create a scenario where you could clear a

0:39:02.360 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 4>bunch of this cap space maximum level cap space, try

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:11.480
<v Speaker 4>to make some moves either via trade because you can

0:39:11.520 --> 0:39:16.840
<v Speaker 4>trade players into that cap space, or via regular free agency,

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:20.719
<v Speaker 4>pending on what's available on the market, and then sign

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 4>Steph to go over the cap at that point to

0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:26.040
<v Speaker 4>a deal that could equal the deal that he could

0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:28.480
<v Speaker 4>get on August the twenty ninth. So there may be

0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:32.280
<v Speaker 4>a financial component to this where when everybody sits down,

0:39:33.040 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 4>it makes a little bit more sense to not necessarily

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 4>sign between now or August twenty ninth, let's say, in

0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:42.360
<v Speaker 4>the beginning of the regular season, because that deal is

0:39:42.400 --> 0:39:45.120
<v Speaker 4>going to be on the table for Steph at any

0:39:45.239 --> 0:39:49.560
<v Speaker 4>point moving forward up until he would be a free agent.

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:53.160
<v Speaker 4>So I think it's that there's a path where I

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:57.239
<v Speaker 4>think you almost wouldn't want him necessarily to sign. Now,

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:00.759
<v Speaker 4>does that create a scenario where you know, there's armageddon

0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:04.040
<v Speaker 4>scenario where maybe he winds up not coming back. Yeah,

0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:07.480
<v Speaker 4>you know maybe. But I don't think anybody listening to

0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:10.279
<v Speaker 4>Mike dunleyby listening to Joel Aika, listening to Steph in

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:12.880
<v Speaker 4>the past. We can ask Marcus Thompson about it, like,

0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't think anybody really views Steph leaving as a threat. Now, Look,

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:19.120
<v Speaker 4>Steph has to be willing to do that. Steph also

0:40:19.200 --> 0:40:23.080
<v Speaker 4>could have an injury and all of a sudden, maybe

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:27.360
<v Speaker 4>a sixty five million dollar contract for that year or

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 4>two on one hundred and thirty five or whatever it is,

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:33.160
<v Speaker 4>it becomes less if he has some kind of, you know,

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 4>career altering even at this late stage of his career

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:38.759
<v Speaker 4>type of an injury. So I think that part has

0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 4>to be factored in and wide. But I wouldn't necessarily

0:40:42.760 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 4>think that there should be some freak out if he

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:47.479
<v Speaker 4>doesn't immediately sign that deal.

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I don't know if there would be

0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:51.960
<v Speaker 2>a freak out, but it would just like cause the

0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 2>conversation of to Steph wan out.

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously that would happen.

0:40:55.080 --> 0:40:56.759
<v Speaker 4>Where it would be a fair conversation.

0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just don't.

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I I would be prize myself just because Steph doesn't

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:03.440
<v Speaker 2>play these games.

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 3>He's always been loyal. Go go ahead, no, no, no.

0:41:07.800 --> 0:41:09.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm not I'm not coming down your road. Yes, he

0:41:09.960 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 4>doesn't play these games. But at the same time, it's like,

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:14.319
<v Speaker 4>if you're a Warrior fan, don't you kind of want

0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:16.440
<v Speaker 4>him to play these games? Because here's the thing. You

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:19.000
<v Speaker 4>you can you can applaud Steph and look, I'm not

0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:21.640
<v Speaker 4>blaming Steph in this at all, but you can applaud

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Steph for not being a game player. But the fact

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:28.000
<v Speaker 4>that he's not a game player is leading to this

0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 4>scenario where the Warriors are not pushing harder to look

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:35.080
<v Speaker 4>to improve this team. Right, So it's kind of like,

0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 4>if you're a if you're the ultimate Steph fan and

0:41:38.600 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 4>you respect the hell out of the out of Steph

0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:45.280
<v Speaker 4>for not pushing the issue more, at the same time,

0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:49.880
<v Speaker 4>you're one of these people that is demanding change that

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:52.520
<v Speaker 4>isn't there, And it's like, I mean, I gotta tell you,

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 4>if I wanted this change, I'd want Steph to be

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:56.360
<v Speaker 4>a little more forceful. Again, that doesn't I'm not that

0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 4>doesn't mean I'm blaming him for not doing that, But

0:41:59.880 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 4>I feel it's there's a little have your cake and

0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:03.880
<v Speaker 4>eat it too at play here where it's like, you

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:08.440
<v Speaker 4>can't say this to Steph, you know, don't be pushy

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:10.799
<v Speaker 4>about it, and then they take advantage of you not

0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:13.720
<v Speaker 4>being pushy about it by not doing anything. And then

0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 4>and then it's like, well.

0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that he should. He he uh, shouldn't

0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 2>be pushy about it. He should, But nothing has shown

0:42:21.880 --> 0:42:23.879
<v Speaker 2>to me over the last few months that he would

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:27.160
<v Speaker 2>be Like in that Marcus Thompson article, he seems like, yeah,

0:42:27.239 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I appreciate how aggressive they are. I've

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:31.920
<v Speaker 2>seen behind the scenes, how hard they work. But he

0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 2>seems like he's okay with the way that things are going,

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:36.920
<v Speaker 2>which is surprising to me.

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:40.000
<v Speaker 4>It is surprising. And and again I'll let everybody speak

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:42.560
<v Speaker 4>to their own opinion as to whether that's disappointing or not,

0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:46.600
<v Speaker 4>whether that's being stand up as a as an individual

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:51.120
<v Speaker 4>or not. But it is accurate, and it is I

0:42:51.160 --> 0:42:54.120
<v Speaker 4>think a little bit surprising because I think he could

0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:57.840
<v Speaker 4>apply more pressure than he has to this point.

0:42:58.000 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I think.

0:42:59.440 --> 0:43:01.239
<v Speaker 4>He could still do it in a way where he's

0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 4>not necessarily coming off as others who have looked to

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:08.000
<v Speaker 4>do that throughout the course of history.

0:43:08.000 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know what was funny to me, like this

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:11.239
<v Speaker 2>happened a couple of months ago, But Draymond Greed did

0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:14.080
<v Speaker 2>a guest spot on Inside the NBA where he gave

0:43:14.120 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 2>a long, convoluted answer about the Warrior's future, and he said,

0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we need to measure success anymore at

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:22.200
<v Speaker 2>this point in our careers with championships. And I was

0:43:22.200 --> 0:43:26.000
<v Speaker 2>surprised by that because Draymond's been all about championships. He

0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:28.319
<v Speaker 2>made a guarantee when they acquired Jimmy Butler they're gonna

0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 2>win the championship. But now and this point in their careers,

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I think Draymon, I think Steph, I think Steve to

0:43:35.120 --> 0:43:37.000
<v Speaker 2>a degree with all the comments he made last year

0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:39.680
<v Speaker 2>saying we're a fading dynasty where it's like we love

0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:40.560
<v Speaker 2>being Warriors.

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Do we want to you know, we want to win championship?

0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and you heard Joe Lacops say it numerous times

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 2>in the podcast with TK, but he also kind of

0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:51.120
<v Speaker 2>seems like, you know, if it doesn't happen, we're good,

0:43:51.239 --> 0:43:53.640
<v Speaker 2>which you know, I kind of appreciate At the same time,

0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I understand my fans are like, what the hell are

0:43:55.120 --> 0:43:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you talking about?

0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:59.960
<v Speaker 4>Right, But I understand Draymond acknowledging it and Steve Igno

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:03.799
<v Speaker 4>knowledging it and Steph acknowledging it. It's okay to acknowledge

0:44:03.840 --> 0:44:06.480
<v Speaker 4>the reality they're not a title contender.

0:44:06.520 --> 0:44:06.759
<v Speaker 3>They're not.

0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:09.439
<v Speaker 4>They're not, and they weren't on April eighteenth, and they've

0:44:09.440 --> 0:44:12.400
<v Speaker 4>done nothing to make them that in the last four months.

0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:17.880
<v Speaker 4>That's just reality. You cannot be a title contender and

0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 4>also not bring the exact same roster back plus your

0:44:21.600 --> 0:44:25.239
<v Speaker 4>first round draft pick and Jack Lindeberg and expect to

0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:27.920
<v Speaker 4>be better than you were, like it. Like, both of

0:44:27.960 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 4>those things are equally true in this case, and I

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:34.279
<v Speaker 4>think that's the part that's frustrating. I would think acknowledging

0:44:34.320 --> 0:44:37.680
<v Speaker 4>the fact that you're no longer a title contender would

0:44:37.719 --> 0:44:42.000
<v Speaker 4>make it more freeing to look to think outside the

0:44:42.040 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 4>box and douce you know it doesn't have and not

0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:49.719
<v Speaker 4>bring everybody back and look. Dunleavy explained it. They did

0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:52.200
<v Speaker 4>a risk reward on the guys they had and the

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:55.600
<v Speaker 4>guys they like, and they're betting on health again. I

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:59.600
<v Speaker 4>think foolishly they're betting on health at an extreme level.

0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:01.480
<v Speaker 4>And look, if you want to bring some of these

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:05.879
<v Speaker 4>veterans back, that's okay too, but you have to also

0:45:06.000 --> 0:45:08.880
<v Speaker 4>add younger players to the mix that are gonna be

0:45:08.920 --> 0:45:12.879
<v Speaker 4>able to absorb a lot of the minutes where you're

0:45:12.880 --> 0:45:15.440
<v Speaker 4>not gonna have Horford or Perzingis player Melton's gonna need

0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:17.239
<v Speaker 4>a night off or Steph's gonna need a night off

0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:20.120
<v Speaker 4>or drama like they haven't. You could bring all these

0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:24.680
<v Speaker 4>guys back, add two or three other players that could

0:45:24.760 --> 0:45:27.359
<v Speaker 4>absorb those those minutes to where you could get through

0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:29.880
<v Speaker 4>the regular season more effectively. They didn't do that either.

0:45:30.600 --> 0:45:33.200
<v Speaker 4>They didn't do that either. And that's the part that

0:45:33.239 --> 0:45:36.920
<v Speaker 4>I think is maddening, because I think everybody can see

0:45:37.719 --> 0:45:41.160
<v Speaker 4>where this thing looks like it's heading for twenty twenty six,

0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:41.840
<v Speaker 4>twenty seven.

0:45:42.000 --> 0:45:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, we'll see about this season.

0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 2>But let's go through the schedule real quick before we

0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:48.480
<v Speaker 2>catch up with Marcus Thompson at four thirty. Yeah, I

0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:50.279
<v Speaker 2>know it doesn't like it does sound promising, but let's

0:45:50.280 --> 0:45:53.120
<v Speaker 2>go through the schedule. John Dickets and Derek Papa here

0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:55.839
<v Speaker 2>at the patio of Show at fifty eight Social It's

0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:57.600
<v Speaker 2>dirty work on these sports leader
