00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: how it buzzes around the city. Okay, I've been waiting

57
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: to to to to get this off my chest. I

58
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: woke up this morning sixty six. I had my alarm

59
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: clock except for sixty five. I saw all sorts of texts,

60
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: and I'll be honest, I thought something had happened to

61
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: fill like something bad, you know, like personally, yeah, come

62
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: to find out, which obviously you know, as much as

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: you know we criticized basketball, we we we don't want

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: anything happen to anybody person, especially older and you know so.

65
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: But that was my first thing because it was so

66
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: it was so early in the morning. I was like,

67
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, these kinds of transactions don't happen or early

68
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: in the morning. Uh. And then I put the pieces together.

69
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: I brushed my teeth, and I realized that the new

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: regime was gonna come in that that that the party

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: was over and obviously, uh, during the playoffs, I brought

72
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: out the iconic broom in Cleveland because I wanted to

73
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: sweep it up and clean it up. The broom is

74
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: out here in New York City because we're we're we're

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: sweeping it up. We're mopping the streets where we we

76
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: got the dust busters, we got the vacuums, we got

77
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: the sanitation department. We're gonna clean this place up once

78
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: and for all. James Dolan has finally stepped up and

79
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: done the right thing. He had the opportunity to do this, Kenyon.

80
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: The day after the Charles Oakley incident, Phil Jackson should

81
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: have been the one talking to the press. He were

82
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: fu su Dolan had to go out there and try

83
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: to make nice. He's not good at that. He should

84
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: have fired him that day. I'm your boss, you go

85
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: talk to the press. You don't want to do that, fine, Okay,

86
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: Now he should have fired him. Then he could have

87
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: fired him after the season. He could have fired him

88
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: before the draft. But all things that that that we're were,

89
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: we're heading towards this inevitably happened. Happened today, And it's

90
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: a gorgeous day here in New York. Kenyan. It's a

91
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: beautiful summer day. Okay, it's not too hot. Okay, it's

92
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: not too cool. The sun is shining. But even me,

93
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I just have one layer of some block on. People

94
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: are out in the streets as we speak. I'm watching

95
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: them through the window, dancing, strutting. They're walking with a

96
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: certain gate. Yeah, they're smiling, they're talking to each other,

97
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: it's a communal vibe here in New York City, and

98
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: I hope is that James Dolan will hire a GM

99
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: who has experienced We will not dip into anything that

100
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: has happened in the past. I'm not naming names. I'm

101
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: not pointing fingers, Okay, I'm politically correct. We will either

102
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: hire this guy David Griffin, or this guy from Toronto

103
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: who I can't see his name correctly, or somebody else

104
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: who I want to hear about him. I want to

105
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts on him, an opinion in a second.

106
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: But whoever we hire Kenyan, I just want a guy

107
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: who is ran a basketball team, has had some success,

108
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: who also does not have a Twitter account. That is

109
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: the first thing that needs to be checked. I don't

110
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: want a GM or president of basketball operation who has

111
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: a Twitter account. Okay, I don't want them to have

112
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: a Snapchat a Facebook. If they have it on their

113
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: own in private, that's their own that's their own thing.

114
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't want them to be publicly tweeting. If you

115
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: have a Twitter account, or you're on Snapchat, or you

116
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: have a reputation for sliding up in the d m s,

117
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: we are not considering even reading your job application, okay, Kenyan,

118
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: But James Dolan can he can write the ship. Now

119
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: forget the past. I'm not gonna sit here and talk

120
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: about the things that have passed. There's no reason to

121
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: do that. Nobody wants to sort of point fingers and

122
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: have any regrets. But if he makes the rite higher,

123
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: lets them do their thing, we can move forward and

124
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: we can essentially just bring some stability, some respect, some

125
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: integrity back to the Knicks. Are we winning a championship? No?

126
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: But we we should hire a GM who doesn't insist

127
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: at the coach, does a particular offense and and runs

128
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: the team in a respectable way. Because I was thinking

129
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: about this today, Kenyan. You know the booing and the

130
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: ankst that's going on with the Knicks. You know last year,

131
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, we had we had a bad season. You know,

132
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: Knicks fans, New York fans in general, where we can

133
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: deal with adversity, but the way it's happened and the

134
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: reason why it's happened the last few years has taken

135
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: it to a new level, you know what I mean

136
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: with the sort of dysfunction and and and you know,

137
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: we we we talked about this this word culture on

138
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: sports shows has always brought up culture. Culture. Essentially, a

139
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: basketball team is a job. It's a workplace, you know,

140
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: because people you say this word culture, and it's like

141
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: this foreign thing. It's like if you're working in a

142
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: coffee shop or or or or or a regular business

143
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: or a plumbing store, if if if the workplace is

144
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: crappy and it's it's it's it's not fun and people

145
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: are talking about you behind your back, and and you know,

146
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: people are eyeballing you. It's it's not gonna work. It's

147
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be a fun place. It's not gonna be

148
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: a productive place. So we need to get the workplace

149
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: of being a New York Knick fixed, and then the

150
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: basketball stuff. You know, it's gonna take it's gonna take time.

151
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: But the one thing Phil has done. And I don't

152
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: know anything about French Frank, the New York Knicks first

153
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: round draft pick, I don't know him from a camapaign.

154
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't even know what he looks like, but he

155
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: has done good making draft picks. Carmelo is still a

156
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: very potent scorer. Porzingis is Porzingis, and we have some

157
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: guys that we could start making a basketball team. But

158
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: I think the culture and the workplace environment is what's

159
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: most important. Kenyan, what did you think when you woke

160
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: up and you you heard about the Phil Jackson or

161
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: did you hear it about it last night and I

162
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: heard about it today? Um, you know, I'm a I'm

163
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: a little you know, I'm on the West coast right now.

164
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: But it was surprised after them just giving him an

165
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: extension um of two years. Um yeah, I just think

166
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: it was just one of those things where they realized

167
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: the nature of what was going on. And my opinion,

168
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: I think the draft was the start that broke the

169
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: camel's back. You know, Um, you got a product after

170
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: product after product here that's proven and once again and

171
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: Field reaches. Then he reaches for the kid out of France.

172
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't know anything about it. I've

173
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: never seen any play can He can walk in my

174
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: house and I probably wouldn't know who he is. Uh,

175
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: the pizza I think he's the pizza guy. Yeah, but

176
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: it's like it's just in my opinion, I think the

177
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: draft was just the last strong man. It's a long

178
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: list of decisions that Phil Jackson made as the president

179
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: of basketball and Operators for the New York Knicks and

180
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: and this was ultimately his his demands. This is a

181
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: two man We've I vented. As you can tell, my

182

229
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: When I said, uh, these names of potential replacements for Phil,

230
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: I said David Griffin. I said Michael Rappaport and then

231
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: I said Massai. How do you say his name? Yes,

232
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying his name incorrectly and I don't mean any disrespect.

233
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Name is Massi. His first name is Massai. Okay, what

234
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: do you Okay? So what do you know about Griffin?

235
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: And what what was your experience with Massai when you

236
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: were playing in Denver? Um? I don't um. David Griffins

237
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: David Griffin. UM, the proof is in the pudding. UM. Cleveland.

238
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: He had the championship bread championship UM quality about him. UM.

239
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: He helped bring some of those guys into Cleveland, along

240
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: with the help of of UM Lebron James. But David

241
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: Griffin was the gym. UM. He did that. He got

242
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: the job done. UM In MASSI Uh, he didn't really do.

243
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: He did some things when I was in Denver. I

244
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: guess he orchestrated the Mellow trade if you want to

245
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: say that UM leaving Denver. UM, I don't know, but

246
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: my experience with Massiah wasn't Uh. My exit and things

247
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: that I were told wasn't accurate. So my my relationship

248
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: personally might get in the way of this, you know

249
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I would tendis shot away from

250
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: from giving my opinion about UM about Massig in this situation.

251
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: But if he's up for the job, that obviously think

252
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: he's qualified for it. UM. He did the good job

253
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: bringing some of those guys into Toronto. UM, the surge deal,

254
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: signing for p J t trade for p J. Tucker,

255
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: and UM bringing the roles and bag of things like that.

256
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: He's done his job. You know what I'm saying. So

257
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: if he's out for the job in New York, they

258
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: must think he's capable. And and we all see what

259
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: they decided to bring in. If if you were James

260
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: Dolan right now, you know, and and based on the

261
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: guys that you know personally on the Knicks, the guys

262
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: that you you played against, I mean you could get vibes,

263
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, and the guys, the younger guys, which obviously

264
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: the Porzingis and these you know, Wally Hernan Gomez, who

265
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: who's a good player. I don't think he's never gonna

266
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: be like a great, great, great player, but he's a

267
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: good toll player. And everything you know about this Knicks team.

268
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: If James Dolan was was reaching out to you, Kenyan,

269
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: what would you say the next move is? Like? What

270
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: would be the advice you would give him from all

271
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: the experience and and do it for me all the experience,

272
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: all the knowledge that you have of players, temperaments, um,

273
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: the history of New York. You played on the last

274
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: NIXT team that made the playoffs. You know what the

275
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: crowd is like. You understand the environment, and you understand

276
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: the NBA. You understand NBA players personalities. If he was

277
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: gonna say, Kenyan, what should I do? Not necessarily who

278
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: should I hire? But what kind of guy? Like, what

279
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: do you think the next thing is that Dolan should do.

280
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: You have a guy like Alan Houston that has been

281
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: on the on the payroll, on the staff in the

282
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: front office for years, you know, so why not give

283
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: him a shot? You know? Or following the footsteps of

284
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: a of a Magic Johnson and Los Angeles Acas for

285
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: hiring the agent. Um, a guy who you guys respect,

286
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: that's been around the game, been around the league and

287
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: and can get free agents there, knows the post and

288
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: knows the salary cap, knows what you guys need or

289
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: you or you go hire just a fresh fresh face.

290
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying from whether no one knows you know what

291
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: I'm saying, uh, that that knows, um the business of

292
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: basketball first time Jim, Like how Cleveland reached out to Chauncey.

293
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, somebody former player when you

294
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: guys respect Mark Jackson sort of speak, you know what,

295
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: somebody like that, somebody who's well respected around them the

296
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: Knicks organization and and the NBA. You know what I'm saying.

297
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, but you never know in these situations

298
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: where they might reach out to it, they might just

299
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: keep stealing me. Um, Steve mills On Nope, Hey, hey, listen, hey,

300
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: I'm with you, because he's like he's been there and

301
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: he's he was under Field. Um just that in the

302
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: third But like, like Steve was a solid dude. Like

303
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: Steve is a solid dude. I like him as a person.

304
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: But um, I just think he let Field come in

305
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: and and it just gave him the keys to the card.

306
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he gave his input enough to keep

307
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: the team where he needed to be. I think, you know,

308
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: so I agree, No, no, I agree. I agree with you.

309
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: You know. But but when you know, as far as

310
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: anybody from the past, it's been so tainted. We we

311
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: need to a fresh face, you know, someone who's about

312
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: their business, someone who has something to prove, and and

313
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: and and someone who's legitimate. You know. Let me ask

314
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: you this, do you think Jeff hornishek should be looking

315
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: over his shoulder because whether we hire Griffin Massai, Joe Schmo,

316
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Alan Houston, do you think that they're gonna want to

317
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: start fresh for the coach or do you think that

318
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: hornessec and we talked about it a lot in the past.

319
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: He was neutered in a sense because last year Phil

320
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: Jackson was quasi coaching the team. Do you think that

321
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: will carry over and we need to start fresh. I've

322
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: never met Jeff horn to say, I've never played under him,

323
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 1: so I don't know his timperament on the bench or

324
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: in the locker room. Um, I didn't like to hire

325
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: when they hired him, but it was Fields guy, like

326
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: you said, it was Fields handpick guy, just like Derek

327
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: Fisher was so and just like they made the decision

328
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: to fire Mike Woodson, you know. So with that said, uh,

329
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I would like to see a

330
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: fresh start all around the board. I would like to

331
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: see them go to port Zingis, keep mellow, go to

332
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: those guys, ask them what they think, and make a

333
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: decision based on that, because port Zingis is the future

334
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: of the Knicks, so to speak. With the Knicks roster

335
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: right now, they have some young pieces that seem to

336
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: mesh well together. And you know, they've got some pieces

337
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: that if they wanted to make some moves, they've got

338
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: some some guys who could help out other teams. I

339
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: mean of course, with you know, the way that the

340
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: league's going right now, with the super teamification of the

341
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: n b A, I don't know how many of these

342
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: potential contenders would want to say, you know, a two

343
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: way player like Courtney Lee who has made the playoffs

344
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: every re single season except for last season when he

345
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: went to the Knicks. So you know, a guy like that,

346
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: and you look at you look at other pieces that

347
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: they have. I mean, everyone wants to talk about Porzingis,

348
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: but Willie ernand Gomez was a great fit last year.

349
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't really think that they should bring back Derrick Rose.

350
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, water under the bridge. There's

351
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: rumors right now that that they're interested in Jeff Teague.

352
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: Who knows if Jeff Tigue would be interested in coming

353
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: to the Knicks. It's just, you know, this is this

354
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: is the type of moral victories that us, as Knicks

355
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: fans have to live off of. For right now, we're

356
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: celebrating the fact that that a person in the front

357
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: office was, you know, is gone. That's where we're at.

358
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: That's where and and we we had the headlines for

359
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: about four hours until the Chris Paul news broke, So

360
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, now we gotta focus on what's going on

361
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: on the floor, make the guard and eat in again,

362
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: because you know this this is just not gonna cut

363
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: it in in New York City. This is the two

364
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: man we've uh Kenyan Martin, Michael Rappaport, Jordan Winter. Later

365
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: on in the show, we have the White Mamba a K.

366
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: Brian Scalabrini calling in. Kennyan, I need you, I need

367
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: you to break this down to me because I'm just

368
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: a fan. I know by doing this show, NBA don't

369
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: tune in. I'm essentially media, but my blood, sweat tears

370
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: will always be a fan. Chris Paul got traded to

371
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets, and I'm disgusted. Why what I'm hearing afterwards?

372
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: They said that Chris Paul and James Harden we're determined

373
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: to play with each other. Okay, first of all, that

374
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: doesn't sound right. Some sounds off there. But what what

375
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: what I need that? What I need you to explain

376
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: to me from a basketball business side, is this this

377
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: super teamification of the NBA. These teams are being built

378
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: on personal relationships between the players. So Chris Paul and

379
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: James Harden know each other, They're cool with each other.

380
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: They're determined to play with each other. Lebron James, Chris Bosh,

381
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade. They're cool with each other, They're friendly with

382
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: each other, they get together, they go to dinner, they

383
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: create the Miami heatles. As a fan, this this has

384
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: to stop, Kenyan, it has to stop, because if you're

385
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: not part of the cool kids, click, you're you're gonna

386
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: be not on a dope team. So can you explain

387
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: to me what has happened? Now? It's a two. It's

388
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: a two, a double edged sward because you know, some

389
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: people be like, we'll let the players determine. You know,

390
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 1: they're they're, they're, they're, they're where they're gonna go. They

391
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: should have a say, and then the other parts like, yo,

392
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm a fan. You know if you if you, you know,

393
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: you either want these guys to be able to have

394
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: a say or you want a good brand of basketball

395
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: throughout the league and not just as friends and family.

396
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: A au banana boot. You know, we hang out in

397
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: the summer and work out with their shirts off, and

398
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: now we're gonna get on the same team. Crap. Why

399
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: are players having the leeway to team up against other teams?

400
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying, Like what changed. The

401
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: levies broke and at my point, it's flooding and it

402
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: needs to be stopped, Mike, And it just didn't start.

403
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: Now it's been going on, man is guys followed it up.

404
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: Guys are chasing their ring, you know, That's what it is.

405
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: And and in order to guys feel in order to compete,

406
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: now you have to stack the deck, so to speak.

407
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, so CP go into the rockets. I guess

408
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: they feel they have a better chance with him on

409
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: the roster of of dethroning the Golden State Warriors. But

410
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna need a little more and you still gotta

411
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: play defense, you know, you still gotta miss those guys

412
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: have been playing together for and then years now than

413
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: having and then adding Kevin Durant to that um equation

414
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: stack the deck even more. But but guy's got to

415
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: realize that, well, people have to realize that the team

416
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: that people are trying to implement like trying to be

417
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: like those guys were drafted there, you know. So you

418
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: know those guys were drafted there. So and then adding

419
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant to that equation has has made team go

420
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and in order what they

421
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: feel they need to do to be successful, in order

422
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: to compete for a championship, they have to stack the debt,

423
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: and that's what they're doing, you know. So we'll see it.

424
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: But in a basketball since I don't I hope it works.

425
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't see how um. Chris Paul is a dominant

426
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: ball um handler, and so is James Harden at this

427
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: point in his career. You know, So who's gonna who's

428
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: willing to get up off of the ball. That's what

429
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: I want to know. How do you feel that the

430
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: Clippers stack up right now going forward? I mean everyone

431
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: thought that Chris Paul was the guy you had said

432
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: in previous episodes, Kenyan, that you would let Blake Griffin walk.

433
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: How do you think the Clippers are gonna do now?

434
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: Because to me, the Rockets they had that three seed secured.

435
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure if they're gonna be done. I

436
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: know that they're clearing out as much cap space as possible.

437
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 1: There's a couple of free agents will get into. But

438
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: where do you see these two teams stacking up? Because

439
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about right now the number three and the

440
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: number four seed in the Western Conference in this past season. Yeah,

441
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: I just don't whatever the moves are being made, I

442
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: just don't think it's enough. Um, it's not enough to

443
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: compete with unless you add a a Paul George to

444
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: that equation or Carmelo Anthony and and everybody is willing

445
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: to take a back seat and get off of that

446
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: ball a little more. Yeah, maybe you have a chance,

447
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: but then it comes to that, so you still have

448
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: to play defense, you know, So you can do all

449
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: these moves and all of this, but Golden State's not

450
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: going anywhere anytime soon. So we all know that. So that, uh,

451
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: whatever moves are being made by the clipperces, I just

452
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: don't think it's enough right now. I'm just like you said.

453
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: They have pieces of the people, they have the things

454
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: they still need to work, only resigning Blake. And if

455
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: they're going to do that, then J. J. Reddick's a

456
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: free agent that so are they gonna resign him? Um,

457
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: other people in the Rocks and said what they're gonna

458
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: do DeAndre? There was talks that there were trade rooms

459
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: about DeAndre jordan o there, you know, so what are

460
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: they gonna do moving forward? But isn't enough for to

461
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: win a championship this coming up season, They're blowing it up.

462
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: They're blowing it up. Finally, the Clippers are blowing it

463
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: up the rock it's how do you feel Chris Paul

464
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: and James Harden? You you started to touch on in

465
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. James Harden is the best season of

466
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: his career, playing like Chris Paul. Can this work? How

467
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 1: do you see it working? I mean Chris Paul seems

468
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: to have lost a step on defense. James Harden, you know,

469
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: maybe he's a little bit better on defense than he

470
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: than he had been the doormat in the past. I mean,

471
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: can these two played together? And especially with the depleted

472
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: roster the Rockets last year, guys like Eric Gordon and

473
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Andrewson had career years, but they played the most

474
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: most games they've ever had. Both guys are injury prone.

475
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like this move for the Rockets.

476
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're one injury away from from just plummeting

477
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: in the West. Yeah, they have to make some moves

478
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: as well. Then they have to ask some pieces to

479
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: that to help them as well. Um, but like you said,

480
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things like who is who

481
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: is going to be willing to get off of the

482
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: ball out of James Harden and Chris Paul. You know, Jane,

483
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: you said James had a hell of a year left

484
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: the league and assists average nine points a game. You

485
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: know that's hard to do because but but he had

486
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: the ball in his hand forty four forty four percent

487
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: of the time. You know him and CP I think

488
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: was one and league in that category. You know what

489
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: I say? So that's you know, so who's gonna be

490
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: willing to get off of the rock? Um? Before we

491
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: get about the Sacramento Kings, the first time you've heard that? Right?

492
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: Ye Ever, lets just yeah, man, Um, Darren Fox, Justin Jackson,

493
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: Harry Giles, and Frank Mason Jr. I like that. But

494
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: what this says a lot about college basketball and the NBA. Man,

495
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: Frank Mason Jr. Put a lot of work in. Man,

496
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: he just stood he can play, flat out play. He's

497
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: picked in the second round. And he's picked in the

498
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: second round, man Like, Like, this is absolutely insane to me.

499
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: Man Like, But I like Sacramento draft. I like what

500
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: they did. You ask some vegeans to that squad and

501
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: some of the talents they already have. I like that

502
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Buddy is still the right Buddy Hill is there? Ye? Right?

503
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: So hey, I like they got a young team. Man, Um,

504
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: who's the coach again? Um? Do they have one? Um this? Um? Yes, yes,

505
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: they have Dave Yeager, formerly of the Men. I forgot.

506
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: I forgot that. I like that. I like him there.

507
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: He's young, energetic, They're gonna play hard, they're gonna defend.

508
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: I like that. They don't get better. Fox wanted to

509
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: go to the Kings. He was. He actually made a

510
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: post when he worked out for the Kings that he

511
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: took down that he was so excited to be working

512
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: out for the Kings. I mean, those are the ways

513
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: that you can build a super team in the NBA.

514
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: You either have to do it through the free agency

515
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: trade market, you know, Banana bo or the draft. And

516
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: you know what that's about? Two right, what's it about?

517
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: Then he gets to play a four times a year. Yes, Oh,

518
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna relish in that. I mean, it's it's it's

519
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: really it's I mean, and the Lakers too, they've vastly

520
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: improved that that roster. That roster is looking good. I

521
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: mean that It's very interesting to me the way that

522
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: the NBA is going right now. I mean there's teams

523
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: that next year, you know they're gonna have big jumps

524
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: and improvement. There's gonna be a lot of teams that

525
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: are gonna be circling the drain. But you look at

526
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna be fun to watch the league

527
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: past type of teams. You know, people are gonna like

528
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: to watch the Sixers, people are gonna want to watch

529
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: the Trail Blazers, They're gonna want to watch the Nuggets.

530
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: Something that we haven't touched upon yet is the Minnesota

531
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: Timberwolves and the trade that they made on Draft Night

532
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Butler. They're big three. Get your re unite,

533
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeau, Jimmy Butler, you got that, Jimmy Butler and

534
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: Drew Wiggins, Karl Anthony Towns. So, guys, I want to

535
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: play a game with you right now because it's it's

536
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: something that's been very painfully obvious to me. Uh in

537
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: this season, just by looking at the draft, there's really

538
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: not that many players. I mean, there's a lot of talent,

539
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: a lot of young talent in the draft, but not

540
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys are gonna make big time

541
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: impacts in this upcoming season that's gonna really affect the

542
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: playoff phrase. Yeah, maybe Jayson Tatum is gonna end up

543
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: being someone who can affect things for a Boston team

544
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: that that was competing for the Eastern Conference championship. But

545
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, let's brace for the super team Storm and

546
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: let's try to look into the crystal ball a little bit.

547
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: You know, guys like, let's say, Paul George, if you're

548
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: Paul George, Kenyan, Michael, where would you like to be

549
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: playing Because rumor has it right now out of Boston

550
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: they're offering two first round picks and A and Jake

551
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: Crowder for a one year rental of Paul George. Is

552
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: that Is that worth it? Because you know he wants

553
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: to go to the Lakers. Yeah. I don't think so, man,

554
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: because you're not winning championship next year. If you have

555
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: Paul George, I agree. Uh, you know, and this this

556
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: idea of a one year rental, Uh, if you have

557
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: any integrity, especially if you're Paul George and and and

558
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: you're in the prime of your career and uh, you

559
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: know you're making a change after after spending a long

560
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: time in Indiana, I'd want to go to a team

561
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: that I want to stay with for a long time.

562
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: You know, this rental, this one and done. Those are

563
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: for guys you know in in the later part of

564
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: their careers. You don't go to Boston, uh with Really

565
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee that you're even gonna make it to

566
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference finals. Anything can happen, man, You can

567
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: go out there and get hurt. Injuries a part of

568
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: sports man Like I wouldn't do it if I was

569
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: in Yeah, And and like Kenny, don't you agree, like

570
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: making a decision like that, it's not for the right reasons,

571
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: Like I think this this whole thing with this ring

572
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: chasing and you ain't crap if you don't have a

573
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: ring and listening to Shaquille you know, son Charles Barkley

574
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: every single week on the T and T Show because

575
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't have rings, and you you're not crap if

576
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: you don't have rings. It's it's it's putting out a

577
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: bad thing out there. It's putting out a bad mojo

578
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: that if you don't have a championship ring, your career

579
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: means squat and and and I think that's why guys

580
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: are freaking out and ganging up and teaming up, uh,

581
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: to to have this buddy buddy stuff so we could

582
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: get the ring immediately. You know, what about the struggle,

583
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: what about the perseverance, what about you know the process

584
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: of getting there? Uh, you know and going through the hardship,

585
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: this whole thing, like we're gonna skip all that. It

586
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: hasn't worked yet. It didn't even work for the Miami Heat.

587
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: You know, they won, but they didn't win it the

588
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: first year. And that team that first year, they were sick,

589
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: you know, but they didn't get it the first year.

590
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean even they had to go through you know,

591
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: getting their their their butts handed to them, uh and

592
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: come back. And that team was built for a championship.

593
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: And I just think the climate in this NBA, it's

594
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: it's making me nervous, man, It's making me nervous as

595
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: a fan. And and I really hope, uh, you know,

596
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't have any analytics, I don't have any business knowledge,

597
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: but you know, it's just a couple of weeks ago

598
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: that we watched the Cleveland Cavaliers tiptoe all the way

599
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: through the Eastern Conference Finals, and everybody was complaining that

600
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs stunk and that the Western Conference finals stunk,

601
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: and that, you know, I mean, I'm sorry that the

602
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: Western Conference playoffs stunk, and and and and you know,

603
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: we just forget about that. And the league, in my opinion,

604
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: needs to do something to to make sure that you know,

605
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: the smaller markets and the smaller teams, and that we

606
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: have a competitive NBA Basketball league. You know, this isn't

607
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,719

Speaker 1: we've is actually it's actually gonna become a three man.

609
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: We've um one of my favorite players personalities and just

610
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: a good, good, fun, smart dude, veteran champion. He's known

611
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: as the White Mamba. Brian Scalabrini is joining the two

612
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: man We've. It's now officially a three man we've. Scal

613
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: Are you on the line we've Yeah, yeah, there's a

614
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: two man we've when it's me and Kenyan Martin. But

615
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: now it's a three man we've because I have two wings.

616
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: Now we haven't do a sort of a picket pop.

617
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: I got a couple of questions for you, scalt We

618
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: don't have you for a long time. You're in demand. Uh,

619
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: you're a worldwide phenomenon. You're known as the white mom.

620
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: But why they haven't made uh your own shoe is

621
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: beyond me. I'm gonna call your agent and talk to them.

622
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: They need to get on that right away. My first

623
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: question before we get into the Phil Jackson and the

624
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics of it all, is what was your takeaway

625
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: from the very very successful first week of the Big Three.

626
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: How's your body healing and what? What? What did you

627
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: take away from it? Did you have a good time?

628
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean your team took a loss. Um, I think

629
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: you should become the the Coke the co coach with

630
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: the great Hall of Famer Rick Barry. Um. You know,

631
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: did you have a ball out there? Yeah? No, it

632
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: was fun. It was fun to playing competing on that level. Um.

633
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: I will say this, the people who put the event

634
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: on this ice, que Jeff like that event was was

635
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: big time for a first time coming out in Brooklyn.

636
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: I mean they hit the home run, it was it

637
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: was a fantastic atmosphere. Um, how do you feel like?

638
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: I I know, you know everybody even you know you

639
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: guys stay in shape and you play, but then you

640
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: know when you get out there and you're playing with

641
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: your peers and you're playing at a different level. Like,

642
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, did you did you feel sore than that? Stay?

643
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: Are you good to go? No? I was. I was

644
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: a little banged up. I'm gonna lie, but I've been

645
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: getting my treatment, you know, seeing people to you know,

646
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: to get back, and you know, you realize you can

647
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: play in the in the rec leagues of the y

648
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: m c A, and you can even play five on five.

649
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: I think that three on three half court. It's much

650
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: more physical than people imagine. Like I just I didn't

651
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how physical it was gonna be. And

652
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: it was just it was tough out there, but no man,

653
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: head down, grinding it out, getting ready for next week. Yeah,

654
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I loved watching you guys compete. At

655
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: one point, uh during the game, you Brian Scalabrini, somehow

656
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: dreams come true and you're matched up guarding one on

657
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: one Alan Iverson. Now, Now, what was that? Like a

658
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: I I think you know, he didn't have his best game.

659
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: You know, he shot like one for eleven, which in

660
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 1: in in Ai in his m v P year, one

661
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: for eleven is like a day in the park. You know,

662
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: I don't know why people were like questioning him having

663
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,959
Speaker 1: a bad shooting game. Even at his best, he would

664
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: shoot his way in and shoot his way out of

665
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: his game. And I expect him to come back. And

666
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, with the answers, what what was that? What

667
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: was that like for you? And and what did what

668
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: did you take away from me? As a sideline reporter,

669
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: it's a twofold question. Okay. So the first thing is

670
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: like guarden Ai, Yeah, I was. I was trying not

671
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: to get dropped. Um, he can get to the basket.

672
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:27,959
Speaker 1: I just feel like, hey, it's gonna be really good.

673
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: Like as as this thing goes along week, week four

674
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: or five, six seven, all the way to ten, I

675
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: think he's just gonna continue to get better. Um. And

676
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: as far as you, you need to pick up your

677
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: dress retire man, you can't be wearing a button down

678
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: plaster on the bieline like that, Mike, come on flannel,

679
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: like you gotta do something a little bit better than that.

680
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not trying to get on you because

681
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: you're my guy and everything like that, but I thought

682
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: you really underperformed as far as like maybe you could

683
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: wear that at Tulsa. But Inklyn, man, I mean, what

684
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,560

00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,239

Speaker 1: fashion awards myself, my friend, and I'm not trying to

690
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: do that. But I ain't trying to be a reporter either. Man, reporter,

691
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: you gotta bring it. I I just don't understand how

693
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: couldn't wear sport code with a cool shirt underneath it.

694
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: You can. I am Rappaport podcast shirt and a sport coade.

695
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: That would have been better. Where where the garden is eating? Shirt? Like?

696
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: Where something to promote yourself? Not some button down from

00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. Scout. You played in a professional three on

Speaker 1: a freaking catsuit on, and you're talking to me about

700
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: a custom shirt that I got in Beverly Hills. You

701
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: got big basketballs to talk to me that way. You

702
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,560

Speaker 1: You know like the compression how well it helps you know,

704
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: keep the muscles warm during he had a catch. I

705
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: didn't know if it was Bryan Scalabrini or Halle Berry.

706
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell's going on. I was

707
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: trying to keep the muscles warm. Yeah, I understand that

708
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: it didn't. I didn't see you elevating. I saw you

709
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: try to dunk in the in the in the warmups.

710
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,000

713
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: We gotta celebrate the game. Man, celebrate the game, talk

714
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: about the product. Well, well, let me say something this.

715
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: I said this to you. I break your chops. I

716
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: know that it's hard living in the shadow of Michael Rappaport.

717
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: I have compassion you for for you, for that. But

718
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: anybody out there in the world that thinks, oh Scalabrini,

719
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: because they think, oh he he looks just like me,

720
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: he's just like me. If he can make it to

721
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: the NBA, I can make it to the NBA. I

722
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: I challenge anybody, any civilian over thirty five who's never played,

723
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: put your life savings on the line. One on one.

724
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm Scalabrini's hype man, I'm his flavor. Flavor. He will

725
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: beat anybody out there, anybody who thinks like, well, if

726
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: he did it, I could do it. No, you can't

727
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: do it. Just because he looks goofy doesn't mean he

728
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: didn't not play in the NBA for ten years. Scout,

729
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: I love you. You're my guy, You're you're you're a riot.

730
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: But let me let me let me talk serious basketball here. Temperature.

731
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: What are we gonna say, Kenyan? Sorry? And I think, um,

732
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: you scalt and we're fair. Ah, y'all show y'all not related?

733
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: We might be. You gotta check the DNA on that one. Man.

734
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: I gotta be real and I keep it honest. Man,

735
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't really know my real dad. I'm just keeping

736
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: But you know they say we all look alike, Kenyan,

737
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: and it's a real bad stereotype that I've had to

738
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: live with my whole life. No, no, now, now, now, Scout.

739
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: What's the temperature of Celtics nation? Jayson Tatum? We see

740
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: the right pick is Paul George coming Gordon with the

741
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: good hair? Hey, Heyward, how are the Celtics gonna get

742
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: over the top? Next season, because you know, I want

743
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: to see all roads leading to the dethronement of the

744
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers. Yeah, I know you do. Uh. So I

745
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: think here's the deal. I think we have capsidation, So

746
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out to Gordon Hayward. If that happens

747
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: and we get them, then we have some guys that

748
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: we could possibly trade and and and sort of roll

749
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: the dice on a on a Paul George. Don't count

750
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Love out of the scenario either. Don't count like

751
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: a fill three way deal where Cleveland gets some Paul George,

752
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: Indiana gets some of the Celtic assets, and the Celtics

753
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: end up getting Kevin Loved. So I think there's a

754
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of things on the table, but anything that happens

755
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: before July one and the moratorium or before Gordon Hayward science,

756
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: then it would give it would give up their caps stay.

757
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: So they want to keep they want to keep that

758
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: available up until the point the point in which Gordon

759
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: Hayward says yes, Gordon Hayward says no, and then plan

760
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: with kicking for the Celtics at that point, is there

761
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: a chance that Isaiah Thomas will not be a Boston

762
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Celtic next year. No, I don't think so. Um, it

763
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: was a glorious day year in New York City. Uh.

764
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: With the dismissal, they said, parting ways, I call it

765
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: a blatant firing a Phil Jackson. Um, what is your

766
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 1: sort of takeaway? You're you're part of the media, obviously

767
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: you're a Celtics guy, but you have your show on

768
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: Serious with Frank the Iceman Sola all this craziness with

769
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: the Knicks. I asked Kenyan the same question. If James

770
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: Dolan called you up and said, Brian Scalabrini, I don't

771
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: know why I'm talking to you, but I am talking

772
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: to you. What should I do to fix the culture,

773
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: the climate, the work environment and get the Knicks back

774
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 1: on track? Right now? What would you be? What would

775
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: be your you know, based on everything you know about basketball,

776
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: everything you know about the players that we have right now,

777
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: and whatever you may or may not know about French Frank,

778
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: what would you tell James Dolan to do right now?

779
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: I was just telling what Kenyan said, just in my way.

780
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: The dudes too old, he can't be the trying goes dead,

781
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: Like come on, man, this is like they're kind of

782
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: a clown show. They need to move on from this.

783
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 1: And I'm not like, I'm not down on Phil, Like

784
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: Phil was a successful coach, and he he couldn't get

785
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: past the fact that like that old school style, you know,

786
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: with the rules changes and the lack of physicality on

787
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: the ball, it just makes sense to run, pick and roll.

788
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 1: That's why people do it. If it was different, if

789
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: the rules were different, and it was you were allowed

790
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: to be physical with the ball, and maybe we can

791
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: have a conversation that it's good to have a big

792
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: man and it's good to run the triangle, but with

793
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: the way the rules are right now and calls, you're

794
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: giving yourself a huge disadvantage by doing that. And then

795
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: I think his mistake last year was really going for it,

796
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: signing guys to long term deals and thinking that you're

797
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs when everyone knew you're not. You're

798
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 1: not that good. You should be building around porzingis, you know,

799
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: trying to get bad and and and get a couple

800
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: of picks. So you know, it's just just he's just

801
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: sort of outdated in today's game. And what do you know,

802
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: because no one here in New York City knows about.

803
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try to pronounce his last name because

804
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 1: I haven't learned it yet. It took me a season

805
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: and a half to get uh prezingis down. But I

806
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: will say that I am, and it is documented the

807
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: first person to go on national TV and say her

808
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 1: name Gomez. That's beside the point. What do you know

809
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: about French Frank the player that we drafted, Well, so

810
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: everything I hear is he's supposed to be a triangle

811
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: point guard basically like you bring the ball up, pass

812
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: to the guard, run to the corner and knocked down

813
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: at three, you know, maybe post up a little bit.

814
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: So I just hope, like you know, I don't want

815
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: any fail. But a lot of times, a lot of

816
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: times when you draft the guy, and that's the Philip Jackson,

817
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: Jackson Regine, next thing, you know, they're gonna try to

818
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: make this kid like you're not gonna give him the

819
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: chance that he deserves, which I don't know if he's

820
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: good or if he's not good. It's just a touch

821
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 1: situation for him to be in getting drafted in Two

822
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 1: days later, Jackson being pilot. All right, we're on the

823
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,760
Speaker 1: phone with Brian Scalabrini. They call him the White Mamba.

824
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you go scout. What is your game plan?

825
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: You're scouting report for this week's games down in Charlotte

826
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: for the Big Three, And I really want to see

827
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: you more active on the bench. You're a big part

828
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: of the Big Three. You're a big part of your team.

829
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: And I think as great as Rick Barry uh is

830
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: and everything is knowledgeable as he is, I think that

831
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: you have to be the sort of more vocal leader

832
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: on the bench, uh and you know, be the leader

833
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: of that team. Um, you know, So what is your

834
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: scouting report? Who are you guys playing? Where's your head at?

835
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: For week two of the Big Three. So the biggest

836
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: thing for us is I tried to get guys at

837
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: like the game is a lot quicker with that fourteen

838
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: second shokhlock and I tried to get guys. I was thinking, like,

839
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 1: we're not gonna beat these guys one on one. There's

840
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: no shot like I steel. By the way, I think

841
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: that Trilogy is the best team you got if Kenyan

842
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: kenyan An. I thought Shy MCCANMPS was the best guy

843
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 1: to trap. So I thought you guys are the best team.

844
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't get to love you guys deserve

845
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: at the beginning from Vegas. But um, I think the

846
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: biggest thing for us, it's just like we gotta play

847
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: more team ball. We gotta make shots, and you gotta

848
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: do that consistently. I think we'll be all right. I

849
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: think it's a long term and just try trying to

850
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: kind of figure out this thing. And I think I

851
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: learned a lot that first week. If we try to

852
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: go one on one, it's gonna be tough for us,

853
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 1: but there's gonna be times where you're gonna have to

854
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: go one. I wanted just the nature of the game.

855
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm taking, you know, a big man to

856
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: dump the ball inside. But we'll see, we'll see how

857
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: it all plays out. Kenyan, Yeah, Scott, he's right, man.

858
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: It's all about him saying it would change. Um No,

859
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: they just gotta move the ball, man, and appreciate the

860
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: Love Team trilogy. Man, what I'm saying, we got a

861
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: good start. Everybody gonna like all you guys can switch everything.

862
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: You guys knocked down shots, man, But it's gonna be competitive, man.

863
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: So man, and I'll see you in Charlotte. Listen, Scalt listen.

864
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not. I'm not saying this will help

865
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: your team. Okay, Josh Childress has been known to have

866
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: you know, he had the afro. I think that the

867
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: extra hair, he looked like he was. I know he

868
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 1: was playing in Europe and maybe there was no barber

869
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: over there. But my personal suggestion, and I love Josh,

870
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell him to his face this weekend,

871
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: just get a shape up or a tram or go

872
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: back to the throw because right now it was very

873
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: cheea pettish, and I think it weighed him down a

874
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,879
Speaker 1: little bit. That being said, I cannot wait to see

875
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: you down in Charlotte. I would love for you to

876
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: possibly take me out for for a good meal down there.

877
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: Um And and I can't wait to see you do

878
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: your thing. And I I am really insisting that you'd

879
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: be more vocal with your team because you have a

880
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: strong voice and it needs to be heard. Um and

881
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: your team. I think one thing I'll say from the

882
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,879
Speaker 1: sidelines is that your team deserves and needs a little

883
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 1: bit of leadership. Um the White Mamba, thank you for
