Speaker 2: It's not a runaway, but it could be. It's not

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: a runaway, but it could be. Plus his one NBA

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: superstar done more damage to his career than we could

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: have thought. We're diving into that right now here on

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. He is Carrie Rhodes, I'm Dan Byer.

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: Ryan Berschinger is our executive producer, Iowa Sammar technical producer.

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: And you just heard Isaac Lohenkron at the news desk.

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: He told us that Scotti Scheffler as a one shot

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: lead after two rounds of play of the Open Championship,

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: and he's a shot better than Matthew Fitzpatrick. Matt Fitzpatrick

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: won the US Open in twenty twenty two at Brookline.

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: I remember that vividly. You want to know why I

19
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: got COVID. There was yes that weekend, Father's Day weekend.

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 2: I had to sit in a bedroom in a bedroom

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: in our house, and for Father's Day, I just watched, well,

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: I watched all four rounds of the US Open, but

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: that one stood out because I was had to quarantine

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two when I got sick. Our son

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: was just over a year at that point, so it

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: was important for me to stay away. Unfortunately it was

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: too late. He got COVID. Then my wife got COVID.

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: He kicked it faster than her I did. Like he

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: was like, it was like, I don't eve think it

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: was a day like he was, he was back normal.

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: Second time he got it in another time and it

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: was worse. But the point being, in twenty twenty two,

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,919
Speaker 2: Matthew Fitzpatrick won the US Open, and I just remember

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: sitting in a bedroom watching that. That's all irrelevant and

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for rambling, but he's one shot back a

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler and Brian Harmon, who won this event two

37
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: years ago, is two shots back at eight under par.

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: But if Scotti Scheffler continues to do Scotti Scheffler things

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: like shoot seven hunder par sixty four today, maybe we

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: could have a runaway at Royalport Rush and this would

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: be a runaway for the world's best player right now,

42
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: and it would be his fourth career major, and then

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: he would be one major away. That would be a

44
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: us open from completing the career Grand Slam. But just

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: focusing on this, do you like to see greatness at

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: its ultimate height and buy what I mean is we

47
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: could be in store for a runaway. Maybe Scotti Scheffler

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: just you know, continues to put the pedal to the

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: metal and runs away. So you're watching the world number

50
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: one take off and separate himself and watching, you know,

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: the world's best play at the highest level. Do you

52
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: enjoy watching that or did you rather see Scotti Scheffler

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: maybe struggle a little bit, see these other guys be

54
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: with it, so you have a competitive Saturday and Sunday

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: on the weekend.

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: You know what, There's something about competitive greatness when it's

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: show up in the way that Scotty is showing up

58
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: right now, it's a special thing to see. It's one

59
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: of those things where all of those guys are super talented,

60
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: they're the best at what they do, and you can

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: take it to any sport or anything in life. Right

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 3: when you're the best at what you do, like I

63
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 3: want to see if that can be even exceeded. Right,

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: So I want to see I do love to see greatness.

65
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: I do love the competitive balance as well. I think

66
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: there's a balance, but when somebody has a chance to

67
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: do it, I want to see that chance.

68
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: This is because this is what I think that the

69
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: dilemma was. I don't even think it's a dilemma. It's

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: a dilemma with me. I feel when Tiger Woods was

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: at his greatest, and there are a bunch of different

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: events that you could talk about with Tiger Woods and

73
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 2: where he was his greatest, but the two that stand

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: out are the nineteen ninety seven Masters when he won

75
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: for the first time and blitzed the field at a

76
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: slow start and then completely turned it on. And then

77
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: the two thousand and US Open when he wins by fifteen. Right,

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: it's gains. I mean, it was ridiculous, like absolute domination

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: by Tiger, and Tiger just did not let up. Those

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: were the two most boring machers for me because of

81
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: the lack of competition. So when I think of of

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Tiger and Tiger's greatness, like the highlights Tory Pines when

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: he makes the winning putt, excuse me, the tying putt

84
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: on the seventy second hold, then goes and beats Roco

85
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: Mediate the next day in a nineteen hole playoff. Like

86
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: that was that was exciting. Now, I was there that day.

87
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: I was at Tory. There were so many people around

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: the green. We were down there covering the event. You

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: couldn't even you couldn't even see. Like I was following

90
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Tiger as he was going through the back nine on Sunday,

91
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: he and Lee Westwood were playing. But because everybody on

92
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: the grounds is following to see what Tiger Woods is doing,

93
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: you have this enormous log jammer on the eighteenth green

94
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: at Tory Pines, right, So he makes the putt and

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: it's the highlight, you know that I remember for being there.

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: But just even in other close calls. In the two

97
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: thousand PGA Championship, he gets into a playoff with Bob

98
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: May That's another close one. Like there's Tiger Woods blitzing

99
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: the field. I think is great for history, but I

100
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: didn't enjoy it as a watch. I like the closeness.

101
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: So for as great as it is to see Scotty

102
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: Scheffler play at the level that he's playing, he's got

103
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: a one shot lead in a way. I hope he

104
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: doesn't run away with it because I think it makes

105
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: it a boring weekend on TV. And I just find

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: it funny because I think history looks back at those

107
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: much more fondly than when you're actually watching in the moment,

108
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: not knowing the outcome.

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: And that's and to kind of piggyback what you're saying,

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: it's yes, I mean in that individual match, as far

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 3: as the runaway goes, I agree with you. I would

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: want to see a competitive one. But I mean in

113
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 3: competitive dominance in general, right, Like you get to see

114
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: this guy go on a stretch of winning a crazy

115
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 3: amount of majors, masters and do the whole thing and

116
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 3: look dominant doing That's what I mean, more than actually

117
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: in that one specific.

118
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: Sure you know match, So Scotty Scheffler take two majors

119
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: you know this year out of the four. Yes, it's

120
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: impressive to watch, even if one may be a runaway

121
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: and one may not be a runaway. It's it's interesting

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: in golf as well, because I think that there's well,

123
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: while you are competing against others, you are like truly

124
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 2: competing against the course or his tennis, Like if you

125
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: have Roger Federer reeling off a bunch of Wimbledon wins, like, Okay,

126
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: maybe you know, Nate dal can beat him, maybe Djokovic

127
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: can beat him. Ultimately they break through at some point.

128
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: But if Federer is just you know, choking up win

129
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: after win after win, you're just like, all right, you

130
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: kind of start to cheer for the other person because

131
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 2: you want something different, and that's you know, it's a

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: it's a little different in golf. But even even gosh,

133
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: when the Bills went to all those Super Bowls, and

134
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: knowing now what I knew then, I wouldn't have been

135
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: so you know, bored of them making the Super Bowl

136
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: for four straight years. But I just like the difference

137
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: of it. But so Scotty Shuffler. Right now in the

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: league at the Open Championship is plays wrapping up at

139
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: Royal Port Rush there eight hours ahead of us on

140
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: the West coast, five hours ahead on the East coast.

141
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: So it's just after nine o'clock local time there, the

142
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: second round wrapping up. Third round play tomorrow morning. I'll

143
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: have my cinnamon rolls ready to go. Yeah, I can't

144
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: wait to watch, all right. Joel Embiid's in the news

145
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, ESPN did this profile on Embiid, revealing

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: a lot of things he doesn't James Harden doesn't talk

147
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: to him anymore, doesn't necessarily trust the front office, especially

148
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: when you're talking about his injuries. And then there's this,

149
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: and this is the part that I just can't get past.

150
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid was called out in a player's only meeting.

151
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: And I'm curious you, as a former player, if you

152
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: agree with what Joel Embiid is saying. Tyree Smaxy called

153
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid out in that meeting during the season, talking

154
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: about his tardiness, not being on time, and now Joel

155
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: Embiid needs to set an example. So this happened earlier

156
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: in the season, obviously, when Maxy was healthy. Embiid, in

157
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: talking with ESPN says, and I'm quoting here, I know

158
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: who leaked it, but I'm not going to tell who

159
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: it is. The past is the past. The one thing

160
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: I'll say is it's hard being around people that do

161
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: those sorts of stuff. It goes back to the trust thing.

162
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: Once you cross that, you can't expect me to be

163
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: a part of a team meeting again. That's just not

164
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: going to happen. So Joel Embiid says, I'm out on

165
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: team meetings now because someone leaked that he was called

166
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: out within the team meeting. I understand code. I understand teammate.

167
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: I've been a part of teams, some great, some not

168
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: so great, nothing near the level that you played. I

169
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: have a tough time hearing what Joel Embiid is saying

170
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: and agreeing with him. I understand that there's a certain

171
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: amount of trust that you have to have, but when

172
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: you are the face of the organization, in the face

173
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: of the franchise, I think there's other responsibilities that he's

174
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: just not taking on. And I think that they have

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: a Joel Embiid problem, not that Joel Embiid as a

176
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: Philadelphia seventy six Ers problem.

177
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: I agree. I think it is a Joel Embiid problem.

178
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: There is a code. Obviously, you want to keep everything

179
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: in house. I think every coach that comes in, every

180
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: GM that comes in, will want to tell their players

181
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: and trickle down from top to bottom. We keep everything

182
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: in house. That's part of the code, right, and so

183
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: when you have these leaks happen, they happen all the time.

184
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: They've happened about me in certain situations in New York,

185
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: and I've seen it happen to other players, right, so

186
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: I know what that feeling is and what that feels like.

187
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: It feels like betrayal.

188
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 3: It feels like man to man, if you want to

189
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: come to me and you have a problem, let's do that,

190
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: let's do it that way where that would be I'm

191
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: sure where Embiid's coming from. He feels like he's been

192
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: the face of that franchise for a long time. He

193
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: feels slighted and now he wants to show his dominance

194
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: as that number one guy. Right, That's not their approach

195
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: to take. I'm not saying Embiid, it's right here, but

196
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: I understand where it's coming from.

197
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: Now.

198
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 3: With that being said, now, Embiid, if you are really

199
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: serious about being and the leader of any franchise, because

200
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be Philly for much

201
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: longer unless there's no other place you can go, and

202
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: I think that would be the only only reason he's

203
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: still there. But if you want to mend that situation

204
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: and be a leader of men, show up, take your lumps.

205
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: That's part of it as well. Like you have to

206
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: understand that it's even with the praise that comes with

207
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 3: being that guy, there's going to be the other side

208
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: of that as well, where people question you. People are

209
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: gonna make you or expect you to be the guy

210
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: that stands up all the time and at least attempts

211
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: to do the right thing, because we're not going to

212
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: do the right thing all the time, but attempts to

213
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: be that way. And if they can't trust you, if

214
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: your second best player is the one that's in the

215
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: team meet and telling people and specifically you, you need

216
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: to be on time and be a certain way in

217
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: the meetings, that's a good problem to have when it's

218
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: in the house like that, because if you can't question

219
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: your top players and you're and you don't feel like

220
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: there's no a chain of communication there, that team's not

221
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: going anywhere. And I think that's what we've seen with

222
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: Philly because as good as they are and have been

223
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: in the flame Mouth, we've think outside of the injuries,

224
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 3: you can tell that Embiid has has been chaut has

225
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: been tau like at certain times with being the leader

226
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: of that team.

227
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: Your point about Maxi being the second best player and

228
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: calling out the best player, I'm trying to think of

229
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: like how that dynamic works. And I don't know how

230
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: Tyris Maxey could do it individually, you know, like he

231
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: needs the backing of the other teammates to be like

232
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 2: to get to that level, because if it's a one

233
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: on one, now you're one and two, maybe aren't seeing

234
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: eyed eye because you have no idea how the one

235
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: is going to react like and you don't, so then

236
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: you think you're doing the right thing, like maxi is.

237
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: You have this meeting and he speaks up. I don't

238
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: think it's cowardly on his point, and I think that

239
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: some people would think like that, like, well, if you

240
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: felt that, why did you have to do it in

241
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: front of your teammates. I think it's because of the

242
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: power and what Joel Embiid carries. So I have no

243
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: idea how Tyres Maxie would be able to do that

244
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: in a different setting that didn't have the backing of

245
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: the those players. But what I find interesting about this

246
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: is the leak on This seems to have Joel Embiid

247
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: not wanting to take responsibility, like he's more mad about

248
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: the leak. It was like when Draymond punched Jordan Poole

249
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: with the Warriors, the Warriors were way more worried with

250
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: how the video came out than the actual punching of

251
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: one player to another. Again, I haven't played at your level,

252
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: but as I'm sitting here, I get the lack of

253
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: trust or how that came out. There's a physical act

254
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: and something to do with it. But yet you just

255
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: had your all NBA player punch a possible future star

256
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: of your team. That is the problem. You could tell

257
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: me all you want that leaks and this and that

258
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: are the problem, but it's not. That is the problem.

259
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: And that's the thing that I feel with Joel embiid here.

260
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: He's using the leak as an example to cover up

261
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: why he was actually late in doing all those things,

262
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: and I think that's garbage. And that's the part that

263
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: I that I don't like about it. It may be difficult.

264
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: The bigger man would have said, you know what, I

265
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: was late, right, I was right for getting or they

266
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: were right for calling me out on that. I am

267
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: the face of the franchise. I gotta do better. That

268
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: to me goes a lot farther. Maybe maybe it wouldn't

269
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: in Philly, I don't know, but that goes a lot

270
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: farther than anything that Joel Embiid could have done, including

271
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 2: this this interview, just admit it, you know, if you're

272
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 2: late or not. Yeah, you know that that's that's all

273
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: he had to do, and he couldn't even do that. Well,

274
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but I don't. I don't think

275
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: that needed to be addressed because I think that we

276
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: all I mean, there's obviously truth to that, So him

277
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: saying it, I mean, I don't even we've never seen

278
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: him do anything like that, So I don't think that's

279
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: part of who he who he is. For him, he's

280
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: always been a little.

281
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 4: I don't. I hate saying the word sensitive. I don't.

282
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 3: I don't like it, but to say it to prove

283
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: the point right now, he seems like those things would

284
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: hurt him, and so if he feels hurt, he's going

285
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: to react the way that he knows how. And he

286
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: hasn't been He hasn't had to be somebody that's responsible

287
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: or somebody that takes that blame. Ever, we haven't seen that.

288
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's that's the thing is if you you

289
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: take the blame for it, you also take control of

290
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: the narrative. Sure, like you take control of I am

291
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: guess what I yeah, I was.

292
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: I was late.

293
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: Maybe I got too big for my breitches again, something

294
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: we've never heard from an NBA or professional athlete I

295
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: think in history. However, that is a way that this

296
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: could be handled better. And I remember one time a

297
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: well known journalist told me that they wrote a piece

298
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: that was kind of calling out a player, and the

299
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 2: head coach of that team went up to the to

300
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: the to the writer and said, hey, I read I

301
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: read your your piece about so and so. Thank you.

302
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: It's right on. We need to light, you know, a

303
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: fire under like it's it's absolutely what's going on. He's

304
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: not getting the message, and by putting it out in public,

305
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: they felt that that it was their only way to

306
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: do so that may have been the case, and I

307
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: actually think that could have been the case with Joel Embiid.

308
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: But Joel Embiid is so hung up on who leaked

309
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: the story that maybe this is a reason why the

310
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: seventy six ers just haven't been able to fulfill their

311
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: maximum potential with him there aside from his injuries and

312
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: other things like that's what's like ultimately at the cores,

313
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: he still doesn't necessarily get it or isn't mature enough

314
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: to accept responsibility for his actions.

315
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: It's immaturity for sure, and that part sucks because he's

316
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: been there long enough. Now he's married and got kids

317
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: like that energy should have shifted a while ago, and

318
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 3: so he's still stuck in whatever whatever his feels on

319
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: with that team.

320
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,480

00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 5: I'm good. Football is good.

358
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 4: There, We are doing well.

359
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: And I Carrie and I were just having a conversation

360
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: about Joel Embiid and the piece that came out earlier

361
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: this week. I know the Sixers aren't on the forefront

362
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: of everyone's mind with Bradley Beal, deal and lebron and whatnot,

363
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: but can you take a temperature of the seventy six

364
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: ers because I just it rubbed me the wrong way

365
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: and feeling and in reading that Joel Embiid's like this

366
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: leak in the meeting means I'm taking no more or

367
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: taking part in no more player meetings. James Harden doesn't

368
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: talk to me this and that. Where are we with

369
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: the Sixers and specifically with Joel Embiid right now?

370
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 5: Well, let me first say it was an incredible article,

371
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 5: really really good profile with just tons and tons of stuff,

372
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 5: So kudos to the author. It was fantastic, fantastic story.

373
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 5: But look, I think the Sixers have made it super

374
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 5: clear that you know they're going to they want to

375
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: give the Joel Embiid, Paul George Tyrese Maxi Trio at

376
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 5: least one more chance to try to achieve what they

377
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 5: thought that Trio could achieve. I mean a year ago

378
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 5: at this time, all of us know it, alls were

379
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 5: saying that the Sixers won the off season. You know,

380
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 5: they Darryl Morey convinced Tyrese Maxi please hold off a

381
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 5: full season before signing an extension. Trust us, We're going

382
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 5: to use the space that that creates to go sign

383
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 5: a really good player. They signed Paul George away from

384
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 5: the Clippers. Paul George was the only All Star last

385
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 5: summer to change teams in free agency without a trade,

386
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 5: and everybody was praising the Sixers, and then this season obviously,

387
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 5: this season obviously was just completely completely you know, everything

388
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: that could go wrong did go wrong. And look, I

389
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 5: can understand if there is apprehension in Philadelphia because we

390
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 5: just learned this week that Paul George required another arthroscopic

391
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 5: surgery on his knee. So we don't even know if

392
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 5: we're going to see Paul George at the start of

393
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: training camp. We don't really know. As great as that

394
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 5: piece was, what kind of health the Sixers are going

395
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 5: to see from Joel Embiid this season. So even though

396
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 5: the Sixers got the third pick in the lottery, were

397
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 5: able to draft Edge Comb like that was obviously a

398
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 5: great outcome for them. But there are so many unanswered

399
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 5: questions about this team, and it really does all start

400
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 5: with Embiid. I mean, they need d Embiid, who won

401
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 5: the MVP. If Philly's going to do anything, they have

402
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: to get him back to that level, and then obviously

403
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: starts with keeping him on the floor. So yeah, I

404
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: think you're right. People maybe aren't talking about the Sixers now,

405
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 5: but when the season starts in late September, I think

406
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: a lot of people will be talking about the Sixers.

407
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 4: Mark.

408
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 3: It's crazy, because yes, you just hit on so much

409
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 3: with that team. But also, I mean, I don't know

410
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 3: what their deal is with Quinton Grimes and is he

411
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: still a free agent or I don't know if he's

412
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: still a free agent or not. But that piece, that

413
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: scoring piece, I think he can actually fill in for

414
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 3: Paul George very very admirably. I don't and they also

415
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 3: getting Jared McCain back as well, so I think they're

416
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 3: loaded on the wing as far as potential replacements for

417
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 3: Paul George as well. I mean not to that degree,

418
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 3: but to study the ship. If Joel Embiid is him

419
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: is his regular self, I could see that still being successful.

420
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 3: But I want to talk about where they are right

421
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: now Embiid and you know, he came out and MAXI

422
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: challenged him and had the thing happened in the team meeting, Like,

423
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: where is that relationship at right now?

424
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 5: I really haven't sense that there's any lingering issues there.

425
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 5: I mean, it's always been described to me that they

426
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 5: have a good working relationship and like each other. So

427
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 5: I don't really see that as an issue. I mean,

428
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 5: you know, Joel obviously in the piece voice that he's

429
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 5: still you know, his displeasure with the team meeting and

430
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 5: how it all leads out. I mean, he made that

431
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 5: clear that he's not ready to put that in the

432
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 5: rear view mirror, and so you know, that is something

433
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 5: that the Sixers have to manage. But I do think

434
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 5: health and winning can change a lot and fixed a lot,

435
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 5: and again it's got to start with health. Now you

436
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 5: mentioned Grimes. Quinton Grimes is a restricted free agent, and

437
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 5: restricted free agency is always tough on the players who

438
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 5: have that status. But this summer, especially kuminga Idy in Chicago, Grimes,

439
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 5: Cam Thomas, and Brooklyn. I mean, yeah, there's just no

440
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 5: cap space for any of these guys. The expectation has

441
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 5: been that Philly is going to bring Grimes back. I

442
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 5: don't think Philly would have lost gershon Yabuselli in the

443
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 5: manner they did to the Knicks if they didn't think

444
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 5: they were going to be able to re sign Quinton Grimes.

445
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 5: So it's moving slow, but I do think Rhymes will

446
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 5: be back of the sixer.

447
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 2: Mark Stein joining us here on Fox Sports Radio talking NBA.

448
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: He's Carrier Roads. I'm Dan Byer in for Doug. You

449
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 2: can get the steinline mark Substack at Mark Stein dot

450
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: substack dot com. If you don't trust me, trust the

451
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: over forty four thousands of scribers that he has. The

452
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: big news yesterday was Damian Lillard back in Portland. How

453
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: how long has this been in the work since his

454
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 2: buyout from the Bucks? And does this set a does

455
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: this set a precedent? I don't know if there is one,

456
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: but I said Lebron James, now his only option is

457
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 2: to go back to Cleveland.

458
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 4: But how long has this been going on?

459
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 2: These conversations between these these these two old partners in

460
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: Portland and Dame.

461
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 5: I would say, I think Dames probably had longings for

462
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 5: being back in Portland ever since he left, because the

463
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 5: Milwaukee move just didn't go to plan. And you know,

464
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 5: it was a brutal two seasons, two injury filled seasons

465
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 5: for the Bucks, and it just it just never came

466
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 5: close to working the way they hoped. And you know,

467
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 5: I said this yesterday, I am an incurable basketball romantic.

468
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 5: I love that Dame went back there. I love that

469
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 5: he has such strong feelings for Portland and that fan

470
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 5: base and that is his home. I mean, he's obviously

471
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 5: from Oakland and a Bay Area guy, but like he was,

472
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 5: he really really connected and embraced the Portland community and

473
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 5: that's why it was such a shock to the system

474
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 5: when he left. And look, he's realistically probably not going

475
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 5: to be able to play this coming season. But the

476
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 5: fact that he and the Blazers have put aside whatever

477
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 5: animus was going on that you know, led to the

478
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 5: trade request and led to the parting of the ways.

479
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 5: You know, they've they've put that aside, and you know,

480
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 5: when when Dame Lillard plays his first game again in

481
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 5: Portland as a Blazer, that's going to be a pretty

482
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 5: special night and they still love him, and I think

483
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 5: a lot of people in the Pacific Northwest are really

484
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: glad he's back. And look, he could have gone to

485
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 5: a lot of places. I mean Dame because I an

486
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 5: unrestricted free agent, like he had no shortage of options.

487
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 5: So that tells you just how strong he feels about

488
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 5: Portland and wanting to go back.

489
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's pretty evident, Mark, I mean,

490
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 3: Portland's affinity for him must have been strong as well,

491
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: because they didn't have to pay him the number that

492
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: they paid him as well, So I think there's a

493
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: obviously no love loss in that situation. But I want

494
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 3: to move on from from one. One superstar going back

495
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: home to Dan just said it. He mean Lebron going

496
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: back to Cleveland would be kind of poetic, I think,

497
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: from both of our opinions. But is there any realistic

498
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 3: option of him leaving LA this year at all?

499
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 5: Not as we speak. I mean, I'm never gonna I'm

500
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 5: never gonna say never, because you know, we just saw

501
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 5: the Luca trade, which shocked everyone and nobody was ready

502
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 5: for it. And even the way free agency started, you know,

503
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 5: when free agency started at six pm East and on

504
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 5: June thirtieth. I think if you polled twenty seven twenty

505
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 5: eight front offices, let's make it twenty nine because I

506
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 5: think the Pacers would have been on that list too.

507
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 5: I don't think any of them would have said that

508
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 5: they thought Miles Turner was going to end up in Milwaukee,

509
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 5: but that happened. So this is the NBA. We do

510
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 5: see surprises, we do see we do see curveball. But

511
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 5: the reality is, it's to a trade. When you're making

512
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 5: fifty three mil and the Lakers don't want to take

513
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 5: long term salary back and Lebron James possesses a full

514
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 5: note trade clause. There are just so many things that

515
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: complicate the prospect of a trade. And then that is

516
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 5: you know, people have been thrown around buyout, buyout, buy out,

517
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 5: Like why would the Lakers just buy Lebron out and

518
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 5: let him walk to the team of his choosing on

519
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 5: a minimum after getting a pile of cash and the

520
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 5: Lakers get nothing back for a guy who is still

521
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 5: an All NBA selection next season. That doesn't make sense

522
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 5: for the Lakers. The Lakers want to honor him and

523
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 5: you know, treat him well, and they are grateful for

524
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 5: the role he played in not only bringing a championship

525
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 5: to LA. But you know, people are going to quible

526
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 5: about it was in the bubble? Is this is that?

527
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 5: But the reality is the six seven years before that

528
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 5: title in the bubble in October twenty twenty were the

529
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 5: worst six or seven years of the Lakers' existence in

530
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. It was the worst period in franchise history.

531
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 5: So they are grateful to Lebron James for what he's done,

532
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 5: But I would submit that having someone on a fifty

533
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 5: three million dollar last season contract isn't the worst way

534
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 5: to show that you're grateful. I mean, he is making

535
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 5: a substantial salary, and you know it's it's there, but

536
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 5: I just it's really at this point, it is very

537
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 5: difficult to see how you know, it's very difficult to

538
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 5: envision a scenario where Lebron is not a Laker. But again,

539
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 5: I'm throwing out the disclaimer that this league is a circus.

540
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: Mark Stein joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Last

541
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: one for me. Adam Silver seems to be very slow

542
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: on what's I take that back. Adam Silver addressed expansion

543
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: this week, saying nothing's predetermined. I don't want to say slow,

544
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: but nothing was predetermined.

545
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 4: Am I wrong?

546
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: Are we all wrong that it's Vegas in Seattle? At

547
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 2: some point? Where are we on expansion? I've heard rumblings

548
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: at James Dolan trying to get other owners up against it,

549
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: But where are we on the league expanding from thirty teams?

550
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: Yeah? Look, I think I think you summed it up

551
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 5: really well. Nobody wants to believe it, but this is

552
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 5: not like gonna just happen next season, like they're there

553
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 5: are voice is in the league who have reservations because again,

554
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 5: you know, you you bring in two teams and you

555
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 5: have to give away something. You know, the NBA's this

556
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 5: We're entering year one of the NBA's new TV deal

557
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 5: eleven years, seventy six billion, and so you have to

558
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 5: work out what kind of slice do these expansion teams get,

559
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 5: and so how high does the expansion see have to be?

560
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 5: I mean Vegas and Seattle are going to be at

561
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 5: the forefront of the conversation. I mean, those are going

562
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 5: to be the two cities that everyone focuses on first.

563
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 5: But look, the league had the league does have, you know,

564
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 5: I don't foresee. I think it would be really hard

565
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,239
Speaker 5: for logistics re logistics reasons to have a team in

566
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: Mexico City, but that is something that the NBA has

567
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 5: kept on the table. It's a market that means a

568
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 5: great deal to the NBA, and if they can ever

569
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 5: figure out a way to put an NBA team there

570
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 5: that works, they would love to do it. That's the

571
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 5: question they have to explore is that feasible? So you know,

572
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 5: I think Adam Silver has repeatedly tried actually to say, guys,

573
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 5: you know this is we're just starting this process and

574
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 5: nobody wants to believe it. But it's it's not just

575
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: a matter of now. On the flip side, the reason

576
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 5: expansion would be attractive to the owners is typically expansion

577
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 5: fees go to the owners, that's not revenue shared with

578
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 5: the players. So that would be the case where they

579
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 5: would want to welcome in two teams paying a really

580
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 5: high expansion pee. But I do think eventually it's going

581
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 5: to happen, but I think it's going to take a

582
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 5: lot longer than probably the general consensus would tell you.

583
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 3: Mark, I got one more for you. We haven't even

584
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 3: got to this yet, and this is obviously I think

585
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 3: a big deal. But Bradley Bill go on to the

586
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: Clippers I know we had a lot of people aren't

587
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: talking about it, but what do you what do you

588
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 3: see his role being with that team? Will it be

589
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 3: like the Norman Powell role, come up the bench, or

590
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 3: will he be in the starting lineup? What do you

591
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 3: think that that fit's gonna look like.

592
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 5: I have to say, I really like what the Clippers

593
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 5: are doing. I mean the last two you know, we

594
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 5: started this conversation by talking about Paul George. You know,

595
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 5: the Clippers made the decision to just let Paul George

596
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 5: go without compensation. And they did that because they wanted

597
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 5: future flexibility. And they decided that this last season, in

598
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 5: this season, they were going to sign players to short

599
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 5: term deals. They wanted to be as competitive as they

600
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 5: can in the short term, but maintain future flexibility for

601
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 5: their next big swing, most likely in the summer of

602
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 5: twenty seven. But again, you know, they have made some

603
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 5: really nice moves around the edges. You know, again, Bradley

604
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 5: Beal is an unrestricted free agent where he's no longer

605
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 5: carrying a massive contract. Ye, there was a line of

606
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 5: teams out the door that wanted him. Lakers, Bucks, Warriors, Wolves,

607
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 5: They all wanted Bradley Beal Clippers got him. They've brought

608
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 5: him book Brook Lopez, They've replaced Norman. You know, they

609
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 5: didn't want to give Noran Powell an extension, but they

610
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 5: were able to turn that into John Collins's expiring contract.

611
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,239
Speaker 5: Like they are going to be a tough out in

612
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 5: the West this coming season.

613
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 4: I think he's Mark Stein.

614
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: You hear him every week here on the Doug Gottlieb

615

627
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: Allpro I'm Dan byer Isaac Scott, the press for us

628
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: at a SEC. Thanks to our social media team for

629
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 2: doing the great job that they do. Elijah and so

630
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: and getting our video content out social media team sounds

631
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: so small, but I didn't necessarily video department. Is that

632
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: a better way to put it? To put a clip

633
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: out of our Damian Lillard Lebron conversation earlier and we

634
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: got some response from it. As Patrick says, Dames going

635
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: back to Portland so he can go back to being

636
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: a top option on a bad team.

637
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the case. I don't think that

638
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 4: that's the case at all.

639
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 2: I think Portland's getting better, and if they are getting better,

640
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: he may not be the Dame of old, especially coming

641
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 2: off of this injury, but what better way to try

642
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: to help that organization and be along for the ride.

643
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: Remember he's not n'm gonna play it all next year,

644
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: that's right, So that's out of the picture. It's what's

645
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: gonna happen in a couple of years after that, where

646
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: Portland may be better positioned in the West than they

647
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: are now. They played good basketball in the second half

648
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 2: of the year, better basketball than they had previously. So

649
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 2: this isn't just him wanting to go and score thirty

650
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: a game and get his That's not what this is at.

651
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: All, not at all. I don't think that's the case either.

652
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: I think he's going back to a situation where he beloved.

653
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: He loved it obviously and never really spoke about the

654
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: time they're ever leaving. So I think it's a happy reunion,

655
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 3: just like Lloyd Howellan' strip clubs.

656
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: Now that brings us the press, the press.

657

667
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,680

668
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 7: name at the top of the leaderboard. At the halfway stage,

669
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 7: Scotty Scheffler leads by.

670
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 6: One, Matt Fitzpatrick one shot back, Brian Harmon and Lee

673
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 2: It's the uh different ways of doing it. But yeah,

674
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: Terrell Hatton's right in the mix. But honestly, it's all

675
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: about Scotty Scheffler. Robert mcintshire, who had won the Scottish

676
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: Open UH last year, won the Canadian Open UH last

677
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,479

678
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler, Bryce and the Shadow. By the way, shot

679
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: six hundred part today, make the cut was eight over

680
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: after round one. Want to turnaround from Bryson. He's probably

681
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: not gonna win because of how far Scheffler and Fitzpatrick

682
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 2: are ahead. However, Bryson doing what he did today was

683
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 2: pretty pretty amazing.

684
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 3: And we're just going to ignore that. Theory was on

685
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,720
