92
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,520

Speaker 5: let's talk about it. Let's go in here and talk

94
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: about it. And so we sat on the couch and

95
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: we unpacked what that meant and what it looked like

96
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 5: and and this is okay. So that's that's how I

107
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,240

00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 3: We're just chilling, and all of a sudden, from downstairs

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: to get a voice from my eighteen year old here, like.

112
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: Dad, he's like it traded Luca to the Lakers. And

113
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: I was like, shut up. I'm like, I don't know

114
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,839

Speaker 3: And he did that three times, and all three times

118
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm tired, man, I don't want.

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: To play whatever game you're playing.

120
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what fish hook you're trying to put

00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: in my mouth, but I'm out. So whatever, dude, sure fine,

122
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: Luca is a Laker. Good for you on with your night.

123
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 3: And then he kind of gave me the like all right, dude.

124
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: Like he's like, it's everywhere, dad, but okay, see you later.

125
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: And so I'm like, uh, let me, let me go

126
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: on my phone out, let me just let me just

127
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: take a look. And then and then you know exactly

128
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: what happened, the same thing that happened with all of us,

129
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: especially in this day and age of access and technology

130
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: and whatever. Like you, you just dive into the rabbit hole,

131
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: my phone starts going crazy. It's work people, it's friends,

132
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: you know it. Like I mean, everybody is is immediately

133
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: just going crazy with all of those sort of staircase

134
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: things that you just mentioned. Because I know everybody has

135
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: said this is the most surprising blockbuster deal in the

136
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: history of the NBA, and I won't disagree.

137
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: But what I also am really interested in.

138
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: Tonight, I feel like this is maybe the most layered

139
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: deal in the history of the NBA, which is there

140
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: are so many spider legs on this, There are so

141
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: many things to figure out from why did Dallas sour

142
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: on Luca.

143
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: Why did they not get more? What does this mean

144
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: for Lebron, What.

145
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: Does it do to the two teams immediately? What does

146
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 3: it do to the two teams down the road? And

147
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 3: then what really gets fun over the next one hundred

148
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: hours of our lives?

149
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: The hell did this just do to the NBA trade deadline?

150
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: Because if you do that, if that's your appetizer, I

151
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: got to imagine a lot of other teams are going

152
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,119
Speaker 3: to be encouraged to be more aggressive than they originally

153
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: were going to be. So I have all of that,

154
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: those questions on my mind, and we're tweeting and reading

155
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: and reading and tweeting and texting and just and you,

156
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 3: your name popped up. You gave me the hey, whoa

157
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: look out?

158
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: What's happening?

159
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: All of that? So it was kind of fun. But

160
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: the dust still hasn't settled yet.

161
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 5: Man, No, it's it's exciting. In terms of the question

162
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 5: most Laker fans had on their their minds was what

163
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 5: are we going to do after the Lebron James era?

164
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, Like that was because that era is coming

165
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 5: to a close? Sure, uh, no, matter what, it's coming

166
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 5: to a close.

167
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 4: And so.

168
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 5: You know, being so you know steeped in history and

169
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: dynamic players, like if you come to the Staples and

170
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 5: are crypto, you can barely walk on the sidewalk in

171
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 5: front of the arena because of the greatness that has

172
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 5: been immortalized in statues.

173
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: Just as what it is.

174
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

175
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 5: And so there's an expectation when you come here as

176
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: a fan to be able to see that caliber of player.

177
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 5: And so Lebron came and joined and it's been five years,

178
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: we have a championship. So what's next? How do we

179
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 5: get the next one? Is it going to be with

180
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 5: Lebron when he goes? Is it the era of ad?

181
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 5: This is not your father's Lakers or your grandfather's Lakers.

182
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: Are my early Lakers in terms of it goes through

183
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 5: a big man, right, Mike and Kareem will shack some

184
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 5: new dan Ahe is ad that guy. He don't want

185
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 5: he doesn't want to play center. He wants you want

186
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 5: somebody else to be down there banging in the paint.

187
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 5: And as good as he is offensively and defensively one

188
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 5: of the top defensive bigs and offensive bigs in all

189
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: of the league period, is that the answer to the

190
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: next era? Now, obviously not, we know what the answer is.

191
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 5: It's the Luka Doncic era, which he is twenty five

192
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 5: years old. Since he's been in the league, he's been

193
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 5: all NBA he was second in MVP voting last year,

194
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 5: third the year before. He's now a Laker, So I

195
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: would presume that'll be for the next ten years, you

196
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 5: would think. So that is the answer to that question

197
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 5: that we've had since Lebron turned thirty eight, what's next? Well,

198
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 5: we know what's next now. The question I have it's

199
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: what's now exactly?

200
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,239
Speaker 3: Actually, I mean the fact, like again, so many questions.

201
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: But what I want to dive into next is that

202
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: conversation you had with your son.

203
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: Because you were immediately.

204
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: As you processed it, at least a little bit hesitant

205
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: in terms of how good or great, or good or

206
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: bad or somewhere in between. This is both for the

207
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: Lakers now and into the future. There are questions, So

208
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: I would love to hear what it is you were

209
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: thinking there and thinking in this moment. We'll get to

210
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: all of that coming up next. It's one of the

211
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: biggest tree shaking trades of all time. Ephraim's a big

212
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: Laker fan, where big NBA heads. We're going to be

223
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 3: Mark Willard. Speaking of the NBA, got a hell of

224
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 3: a game going on right now between the Celtics and

225
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 3: the Cities.

226
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 4: No one cares good.

227
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: What trade have they made in the last twenty four

228
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: How yeah, I turned it on. It's the same players.

229
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown.

230
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: I already knew that.

231
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: Well, they were down by almost thirty and now they're

232
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: up by one in the fourth quarter or three minutes

233
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 3: to go. Hell of a comeback. Sixers playing a lot

234
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: better of late. Steve Desager will have that info coming

235
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: up in less than ten minutes, and so we'll keep

236
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: an eye on that. But yeah, man, rocking and rolling

237
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 3: on this trade that just shook everybody last night, and

238
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: every piece of it and all of the different angles.

239
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: So hit me man.

240
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: You're a big Laker fan, and after thinking about it,

241
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: for an hour or two or whatever.

242
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: You were like, I'm not sure, So what is it

243
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: that you're thinking?

244
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 5: Okay, so now ahead, and this may be crazy to

245
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 5: some people. Come on, this may be crazy. So I

246
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 5: start thinking, Okay, Luca Lebron, what does that look like?

247
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: Now?

248
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 5: I knew that we needed two things this trade that line.

249
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 5: We needed a point guard, a real point guard. It's

250
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: not at uh Reeves, as good as he is at

251
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: you know, handling the ball and all that, that's just

252
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 5: not what he does.

253
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: So we needed a true point guard. And then we

254
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: needed another big.

255
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 5: Someone to take the load off Anthony Davis and let him,

256
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 5: you know, play what he feels is.

257
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 4: This natural position.

258
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: That's what I coming into the trade deadline talks. That's

259
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 5: what I thought. Are you know, knew that the Lakers

260
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 5: needed in order to not only continue to play. You

261
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: gotta remember they're four four or five in the in

262
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 5: the West right now. We're not talking about a team

263
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: that is fighting for a play in spot or you know,

264
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 5: trying to get that just not just to hear me,

265
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 5: hear me, let me hear just hear me out. I

266
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: got you don't give me that golden state. We try

267
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 5: to get the ten.

268
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: They're eight and two in the last ten. Yeah, I'm

269
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: hearing you.

270
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 5: Okay, So I'm thinking, Okay, I like Finny Smith. I

271
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 5: love what he's bringing Vanderbilt, coming back from two years

272
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: of injury. His energy and defense is palpable. He's the

273
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 5: only one on the court that will consistently go for

274
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 5: rebounds even if he's not under the basket, like he'll

275
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: come from the three point line to get a rebound.

276
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: I love that that energy isn't we don't see that

277
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 5: anywhere anymore in the NBA. So I'm like, Okay, we

278
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 5: have some things. I know we need another big in

279
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: a point guard. But if we just get another big,

280
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 5: I think that gives us the size they compete with,

281
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 5: you know, the Calves if we make it that far.

282
00:16:54,320 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: But with the Nuggets and Minnesota, that's my thing. So

283
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 5: the trade happens, and I'm like, well, we got the

284
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: point guard. And so I'm thinking, and I'm like, ooh,

285
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: I understand the play. This is something that is going

286
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 5: to benefit the Lakers in the long run. So I

287
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 5: started asking my question is this year? Is this a

288
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 5: viable year to compete as we currently sit or stand?

289
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 4: No?

290
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 5: But what could change? That what valuable piece do we

291
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 5: have right.

292
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: Now, let's let's talk about it. Yeah, go ahead, that.

293
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 4: Can garner the level of talent.

294
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 5: That we in value that we can change that into

295
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 5: a now instead of a later now and later essentially,

296
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 5: and that piece is Lebron James.

297
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: Lebron James, right.

298
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: And so.

299
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 5: If Lebron James is traded now, it would have to

300
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 5: be it will be probably be Lebron and Bronni and

301
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 5: you know they got to go together.

302
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 4: Whatever that is, right, which is it is what it is.

303
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 5: But he has a no trade clause and he's probably

304
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 5: only going to go to one place, and that one

305
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 5: place is Golden State, and so he can play with

306
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 5: Draymond and so he can play with Steph. They've been

307
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 5: hitting about it for years the Olympics, you know that

308
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 5: in the end of the game, high screen and roll

309
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 5: with him and Steph. I mean, you can't guard that.

310
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 5: No one can guard that. There's nothing you can do.

311
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 5: And so if the Lakers, and they've shown they will

312
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 5: pull the trigger, right, they will pull the trigger obviously,

313
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 5: And so if they're really in this, we need to

314
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 5: rediscover who we are and make this look like we

315
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 5: are a real contender that would be on the table.

316
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 2: Okay, but so let's play with that for a second.

317
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: We have to that's all, that's all we can do.

318
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: No, I I right, But like you said that, what

319
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: the Lakers still need would obviously then need to be

320
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 3: received in exchange for Lebron James oh plus plus right,

321
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: But Lebron goes nowhere but Golden State. So how do

322
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: those assets return to the Lakers? Who are they? Who

323
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: are they with the Warriors? Obviously you could get a third,

324
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 3: fourth team.

325
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: And well that's the magic of the NBA that a

326
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 5: lot of people don't understand. Even this mega trade was

327
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 5: a three team trade with Uta was right, So they're

328
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 5: ways for this to have happened. And you may say, well, well,

329
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 5: Golden State, you know, of course they would throw Wiggins in,

330
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 5: They would throw probably Kevon Looney in. Uh, but you

331
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 5: would need you right, right, but you would need another,

332
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 5: uh team you want you want back? No, I don't think, well,

333
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with Shooter, you said, No,

334
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 5: I don't have a problem.

335
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: I don't like Shooter.

336
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 5: Actually, the fact that he turned down eighty nine million dudes, crazy.

337
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 3: Crazy, But well, yeah, the Warriors kind of need him,

338
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 3: but they wouldn't if they got Lebron.

339
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: Right, it would be a different situation.

340
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 5: Right, So now you have those three players whatever the

341
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 5: third team that you would bring in.

342
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 4: What that looks like?

343
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 5: Of course, you know, I don't know if that that

344
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 5: twenty thirty is the twenty thirty one or twenty thirty

345
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 5: first round pick goals in that deal. I think the

346
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 5: value of Lebron is you know, I think you retain

347
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 5: that pick unless you're sending it to a third team

348
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 5: and they're sending some type of valuable asset to you.

349
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: But there is a whirl for this to happen, and

350
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 5: I'm curious to see. I almost think it will based

351
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 5: on Rob Polinka and him not letting anybody know that

352
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,239
Speaker 5: they were going to do this.

353
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 4: I mean, to me, that was gangster beyond and.

354
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: So no, have you ever seen Stephen A. Smith or

355
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: Brian Windhorse. Have you ever seen him look like that?

356
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 7: They're looking around doing the same thing You're whoa Like, No,

357
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 7: when you talk about it's like Godfather level gangster, right,

358
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 7: And when we talk about gangster on this show, it

359
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 7: could only mean one man, and that is Stephen the

360
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 7: don the saycre.

361
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 8: There was the story that it was a month ago

362
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 8: that Rob Plink of the Lakers Gym first met and no,

363
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 8: it wasn't the players any involved requesting a trade. And

364
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 8: yet late last night about a complete shocker. I know

365
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 8: Kareem was once traded to the Lakers back in the

366
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 8: seventies and had already not only been Rookie of the

367
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 8: Year but MVP three times by that point.

368
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 6: It didn't happen in the.

369
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 8: Middle of the season for grant out loud, the Lakers

370
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 8: received Luka dantch Maxi, Kleeber, and Markith Morris. Mavericks received

371
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 8: Anthony Davis, Max Christi and a first rounder of the

372
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 8: Lakers in twenty twenty nine. I must say this again

373
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 8: out loud, the Lakers give up only one first round pick.

374
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: Oh, we'll go get to that.

375
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 8: It's only been a couple of years since that trade

376
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 8: with Minnesota and Utah that involved Rudy Gobert. Minnesota had

377
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 8: four first round picks that went to the Jazz in

378
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 8: that particular trade. Well, let's get to the Celtics at

379
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 8: Philadelphia game, which with thirty five seconds left now has

380
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 8: Boston in the lead at Philly one eighteen to one.

Speaker 8: Jason Tatum thirty five points eleven assists. Tyrese Maxi of

383
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 8: Philadelphia thirty four points, almost all of that in the

384
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 8: first three quarters. Believe it or not, Philly was ahead

385
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 8: late third quarter ninety to sixty four. They only have

386
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 8: about twenty points in the fifteen minutes since, and the

387
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 8: Celtics have passed them. The late game coming up in

388

413
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 8: in the game. Rory McElroy won by two strokes at

414
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 8: Pebble Beach after a final round sixty six. Shane Lowry

415
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 8: finished second. The Raiders new offensive coordinator will reportedly be

418
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 8: at Washington under Kaylan Devoor for a couple of years

419
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 8: and Faye nce it has passed away. A former commissioner

420
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 8: of Major League Baseball. He was eighty six years old.

421
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 8: He took over his commission September of nineteen eight nine

422
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 8: after the death of his friend Bart Jamadi, and the

423
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 8: very next month was the earthquake World Series in the

424
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 8: Bay Area.

425
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 6: It was his.

426
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 8: Ruling that we finished this World Series, even with a

427
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 8: week and a half delay Giants versus Age. The A's

428
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 8: did come to a conclusion. He wound up only three

429
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 8: years in that job, essentially being forced out by the owners,

430
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 8: and eventually Bud Sealing, an owner, became commissioner.

431
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: Back to you, great stuff, Steve, And you know you

432
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 3: just mentioned the the Rudy Gobert exchange.

433
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 2: Let's go back.

434
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: I think, if I'm remembering correctly, this was somewhere in

435
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: the neighborhood of eight months ago. Eight months ago, the

436
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 3: Knicks acquired McHale Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets, and among

437
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: other players, received five first round draft picks for McHale Bridges.

438
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 3: Can someone answer that for me? Why just one pick

439
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: for Luka Doncish's twenty five years old? Why not more specially.

440
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 4: Well, I could tell you why specially.

441
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear that answer, because, as you just said,

442
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 3: they also not just they traded Luca Doncis they did

443
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 3: it in the dark. Yeah, they were not in a

444
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 3: situation where a trade demand was public. They were not

445
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: in a situation. It's not Jimmy Butler for example. You

446
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: did not know that there was something going on, which means, okay.

447
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: We got breaking news.

448
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: I can tell you this.

449
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 2: Let's hear it. Yes, please, Oh I love this.

450
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

451
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 8: Chris Haynes reporting Schams as well. The Sacramento Kings are

452
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 8: trading dearon Fox to the San Antonio Spurs, a three

453
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 8: team deal. Zach Levine winds up in Sacramento along with

454
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 8: first round picks three.

455
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 3: He said, yeah, okay, so details to come on this,

456
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 3: but here we go. And this is kind of what

457
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: I was saying earlier, like, if that's your initial act

458
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: is the most surprising trade of all time, you're gonna

459
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: get a bunch of other teams to really up their game.

460
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 3: Oh it's time, like we're we're not messing around, you're

461
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: not sending the Oh we got an expiring contract.

462
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's nice, Like it's time to make the

463
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: big move.

464
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 3: So Zach Levine, who was rumored in a number of

465
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: different directions, ends up being in this deal. More details

466
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: still coming, but Levin to the Kings, Darren Fox to

467
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: the Spurs, which was his desired landing spot, and three.

468
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: First round picks.

469
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: So I go right back to my question, how the

470
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 3: hell did the MAVs not get more, especially because the

471
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: first round pick they got is still four years away.

472
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think when you're see, both of these are

473
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 5: all NBA talents. So when you're swapping that level of

474
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 5: talent and it's all based on your need, right, they

475
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 5: feel that Kyrie can run that show in Dallas. What

476
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 5: they do need is a big outside of someone who

477
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 5: can catch a lob right or catch a rebound off

478
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 5: to rim and dunk. They need a big who can

479
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 5: stretch the floor, who can be a defensive presence as

480
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 5: well as give you thirty a night, which AD can.

481
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 5: So now you have more ball control, more offensive flow

482
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 5: because Kyrie will get off the ball if he has

483
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 5: an AD with him. And I'm just look, I'm just speculating.

484
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're answering x'es and o's, and I feel you.

485
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is this is a leverage situation.

486
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 5: They didn't want to pay Luka doncis three hundred and

487
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 5: seventy five million dollars in a couple months.

488
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: But because they're not happy, nobody needed to know that.

489
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how many you know what I mean, like

490
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: you could have The story is is that they only

491
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: called the lakers.

492
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 5: They were You gotta remember, this has been brewing for

493
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 5: three months. Imagine the level of conversations behind closed doors

494
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: that have been happening with with both gms. Right, First

495
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 5: of all, it started out as a joke like would

496
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 5: you ever.

497
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: Right, like you, why woult you call more teams.

498
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 4: Because you didn't want you did?

499
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,959
Speaker 5: Because number one, you don't want this to get out

500
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 5: if you involved and you know this, Yeah you know this.

501
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 5: If you tell someone else, it's going to get out.

502
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 5: The only two people they knew and that and that

503
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 5: is a lesson for the world.

504
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: Except for not a lesson if what you did ended

505
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: up being sell something for fifty cents.

506
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: On the dollar. Even if I knew, even if the

507
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: world knew that.

508
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: Luca was going to be traded, I would argue, somebody

509
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: out there is going to give you four first round picks.

510
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 5: They didn't want somebody. They wanted AD And that's the difference. Wow,

511
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 5: you can say all of that you want if you

512
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 5: want something right, if you want the one thing. I

513
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 5: don't need that because I don't need right. I don't

514
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 5: want to go on a date with fifty other vims.

515
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 5: I just want this one girl. I'm gonna put my

516
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: attention there. When I met my wife, I was like,

517
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 5: this is the one and believe me. Hey man, I

518
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 5: was my six year in the league. I was young,

519
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 5: twenty seven years old, no kids, no responsibilities, it was options,

520
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 5: and I said I want her, and so I my

521
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 5: everything that I did from then on was to.

522
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 4: Build a relationship with her.

523
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 5: Now I can't do that if I'm still over here perusing.

524
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 4: The owls, like hey, what about right?

525
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: So, when you're hyper focused on something, and I think

526
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 5: that's why the story that has been going on for

527
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 5: three months now.

528
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 4: They knew exactly.

529
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 5: I'm sure somebody was like, what would you give a Seluca?

530
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 5: And it was like, well, I mean if you do that,

531
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 5: you know what would you want? Well we got to

532
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: have ad. Oh okay, oh that what else?

533
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 3: But you're sitting here telling me what you said twenty

534
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: minutes ago about the Lakers viability for this year as

535
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: a title contender. Well, wouldn't Dallas ask themselves the same question,

536
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: Because if what you're telling me is that they have

537
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: so valued Anthony Davis, that means they so value this

538
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: year and Ephraim their twenty six and twenty.

539
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: Four, I would argue, that's stupid.

540
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 3: You could have got way more by literally grabbing a

541
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 3: bullhorn heading for the sphere.

542
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: In Anthony Davis.

543
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: But but who cares? You're not.

544
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 5: But I said, look, we may say that, but may they.

545
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 5: I can almost promise you they don't see it that way.

546
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 5: And that's the difference. Conception is reality.

547
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: Kyrie A d and Clay ain't winning nothing.

548
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 5: He man, I'm not going to argue that. I'm not

549
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 5: gonna argue that, right.

550
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 4: You can't.

551
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 5: You can't make me explain how that'll work, because in

552
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 5: my opinion, it does it, So I don't.

553
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter to me. That's what they wanted, that's

554
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 4: what they.

555
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 2: Got, I know.

556
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna walk out of here with the opinion

557
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: that the Dallas Mavericks screwed this up.

558
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: And that is a okay as long as we didn't.

559
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 5: And that's what that's what that's all I'm worried about.

560
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: And and that's what I want to go to next.

561
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 3: Because the tweet that I sent out last night had

562
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: two pieces he from. One of them was I don't

563
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: understand why Dallas didn't get more and the second piece

564
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: was I don't know how the Lakers are going to

565
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: stop anyone from scoring.

566
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 4: Ever, that's why it's not done. That's why I don't

567
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 4: think it's done.

568
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's discuss that coming upnext, Tireck dot com Studios.

569
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: That's E from Salama, Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio.

574
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: Maybe the San Antonio Spurs are saying no, they are

575
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: like us because they got in on this action too.

576
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: If you're just joining us Tirereck dot Com Studios, Mark

577
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: Willardy from Salam.

578
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: The second biggest domino has fallen.

579
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 3: However, this one we saw coming the Sacramento Kings, and

580
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: we could take a couple minutes on them. They have

581
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: turned what was two years ago a really nice story

582
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: and an up and coming team into quite frankly, one

583
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: of the most confusing situations I have ever seen.

584
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 2: But I shouldn't be confused because it's the Kings.

585
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 3: So I should I should have known two years ago

586
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 3: you're going to find a way to muck this up,

587
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 3: and so here we are. Darren Fox is now a

588
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 3: member of the San Antonio Spurs. DeMar DeRozan is on

589
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: the Kings, but said publicly this week if de Aaron goes,

590
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: I don't think.

591
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 2: I really want to be here anymore.

592
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: Zach Levine, the most untradable contracted sports now resides there

593
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 3: and the.

594
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 2: Chicago Bulls receive a first round pick.

595
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 3: The Kings received the rest of the hall, which is

596
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 3: two more first round picks and three second round picks.

597
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: That's what the Spurs give up. This is all spread

598
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 3: out over the next six years. And Dearon Fox and

599
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 3: Victor Wemman teammates.

600
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I understand what what San Antonio is trying to do.

601
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 5: And make no question, Dearon Fox is an all star.

602
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: He is unbelieve the problem with the San Antonio Spurs

603
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:28,760
Speaker 5: is as long as you have the cheat code shooting

604
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 5: sixteen to three pointers, then you're not going to maximize

605
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 5: your potential and your ability, Because the bottom line is,

606
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 5: I've seen it myself. I've watched the game. I remember

607
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,479
Speaker 5: the game he played against the Lakers. He was one

608
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 5: for eight to start the game. The one was in

609
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 5: the middle of the lane. The other seven were from

610
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 5: beyond the some as far out as thirty five feet.

611
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 5: So what happens when you have someone who no one

612
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 5: can guard anywhere on the court and they choose to

613
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 5: shoot as far away from the basket as possible. You

614
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 5: do two things. Number One, your percentage of making that

615
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 5: shot drops dramatically. Even if he shot thirty nine percent

616
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 5: from the three point line, he would shoot seventy nine

617
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 5: percent from the key. That's just what it is. There's

618
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 5: no one ever to be able to block his shot.

619
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 5: He could shoot almost eighty percent from inside the paint.

620
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 4: The second thing.

621
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 5: It does is it takes you and takes him away

622
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 5: from ability to rebound. If he's shooting the long three,

623
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 5: who's getting a rebound?

624
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: Somebody else?

625
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 5: And if your team is shooting the long three and

626
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 5: he's in the short corner waiting for a drive and

627
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 5: kick and you miss, who's getting the rebound not him?

628
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: Right, So.

629
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 5: Unless they fixed that, well, that's a real thing, Like

630
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 5: this is a real thing.

631
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I just he's twenty one years old.

632
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 4: I get it. He's twenty one years old.

633
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 5: So what you don't want to do is allow someone

634
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 5: that young to come in and just build bad habits.

635
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 5: And I'm not saying taking threes or bad habits, but

636
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 5: I'm saying taking threes are bad habits. If you have something,

637
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 5: what if Kareem I do at Jabbar instead of the

638
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 5: hook shot which he had, would shoot threes. Just explain

639
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 5: to me, well, how that would give you the advantage.

640
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 2: I don't mind having it in your repertoire, but.

641
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 4: You can have it.

642
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 5: But when you come down and seven of your first

643
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 5: eight shots or threes, hey man, this.

644
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 3: Guy would averaging five and a half three point attempts

645
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 3: per game last year as a rookie.

646
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: This year it's over nine.

647
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.

648
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 5: Yes, so you wonder why they're at the bottom of

649
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 5: where they are in the standings. That is a direct

650
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 5: reason why. That is a direct reason why, because they're

651
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 5: not efficient. He's not efficient.

652
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 3: Well, they're there. Here's what I would say, on this day,

653
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: on this year. They are incredibly young, and they are

654
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 3: going to figure it out.

655
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: I love this parent.

656
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 4: I'maul is not young.

657
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 5: No, so if Chris Paul hasn't been like, hey, man,

658
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 5: hey let's let's let's not do that.

659
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. But this isn't about this year

660
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: for the Spurs.

661
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 4: No, no, no.

662
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is, see, they're as an athlete,

663
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 5: and I'm speaking as an athlete. What happens is do

664
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 5: you ever wonder like, in a couple of years, you'd

665
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 5: be like, man.

666
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 4: What happened? They had so much potential.

667
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 5: What happens is when you build bad habits consistently over

668
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 5: a couple years, they become your norm.

669
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: Sure I feel you. No, I'm not disagreeing with you.

670
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 3: I'm just saying I love their chances to figure it out.

671
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,439
Speaker 3: I love what the Spurs did here.

672
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 4: Oh great, great movie.

673
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 3: But Fox, if I am scratching my head on Sunday,

674
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 3: February second, I am wondering, why have the Kings done

675
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 3: all of the things that they have done in the

676
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: last six months? And why did the Dallas Mavericks only

677
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: get one first round pick? Those are my two questions

678
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 3: I'm going to bed with tonight. E. That's that's what

679

702
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 5: And so he's already shown how he can you know,

703
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 5: sidetrack or blow up in an organization, like this is

704
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 5: not this is Jimmy's what fourteen thirteen, fourteen?

705
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: Uh yeah something.

706
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, those situations at least it's.

707
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 2: At least four. I can't even does that all of them.

708
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 4: This is the playoffs Tea Wolves.

709
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 5: He yeah, we don't have playoff Jimmy right, uh uh right.

710
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 5: Remember he got to the Bulls and he was was

711
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 5: at the Bulls and it was like, y'all suck. You

712
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 5: don't know how to work, you don't know how to practice. Yeah, right,

713
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 5: it's no.

714
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 3: He's like, look if I if I were running an

715
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 3: NBA franchise, and I know, you're gonna get more desperate now.

716
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

717
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: The Lakers got Luca, the Spurs got Darin. You know

718
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 3: it's gonna make you want to come to the party.

719
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 3: I I understand that, but I'd walk right up to

720
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:50,240
Speaker 3: my GM and be like, you're gonna treat Jimmy Butler

721
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 3: just like a hot burner on the stove.

722
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 2: That's a do not touch there. There. There is nothing

723
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: for you there.

724
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 3: I get that, Like, I respect Jimmy's ability, his resume,

725
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 3: all of these things, but it's also funny to me

726
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 3: in a culture in the NBA and in all sports

727
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 3: for that matter, where we flip out if you haven't

728
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 3: won a ring, Like, look at all the people who've

729
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: gone to a super Bowl and not won and the

730
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: way we treat them, the Joe Burrow, the Jalen Hurts,

731
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 3: the brock Purty, and but Jimmy took a team to

732
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 3: the finals and we're like, oh, that's a playoff performer.

733
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, there's no.

734
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 3: Ring, there's four broken locker rooms, and there's thirty five

735
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 3: years of age.

736
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 2: So do not touch under any circumstances.

737
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, what you don't want to do is you don't

738
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 5: want to blow up your locker room.

739
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 4: You don't want to blow up.

740
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 5: Your team, and so you have to make sure you

741
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 5: use caution when you're handling dynamite man, Right, So yeah,

742
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 5: it's yeah, you know, shout out to Beyonce for winning

743
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 5: a Grammy for the Best Country Album.

744
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: But I tell you what, that's that's a new day.

745
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 4: People are there now?

746
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, same anyway, this ain't tix here. Uh, Darren Fox

747
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:47,320
Speaker 3: is actually not singing that song. It's Texas, is indeed

748
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 3: exactly right. So but hit me with this man, Let's like,

749
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 3: let's let's go on an offshoot here. How the hell

750
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 3: and I know your first answer is going to be there,

751
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:03,479
Speaker 3: not done. But the Lakers were already a poor defensive team.

752
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 4: Yes, well they had gotten better. Let me just.

753
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: Fair, they had Statistically they were bottom third of the

754
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: league in this moment, and they just got rid of

755
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 3: their absolute, unequivocal best defensive player.

756
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 2: Yeah.

757
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: So whatever this move is that you are predicting comes next, boy,

758
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 3: it better be a freaking doozy. That better be a

759
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 3: doozy if you want the Lakers to actually be relevant

760
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 3: this year.

761
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, And like I said, I stayed at

762
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 5: the top of the hour last hour. When you look

763
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 5: at the Lakers and the franchise, right, they've been middling

764
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 5: the last few years with either not making the playoffs.

765
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 4: Are the play in now.

766
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 5: Two years ago, they got all the way to the

767
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 5: Western Conference Finals, which was amazing, and they ran into

768
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 5: a bus saw, which is a Denver the Denver Nuggets,

769
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 5: who ended up winning the championship. Okay, they regressed the

770
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 5: next year, got beat in the first round of the playoffs,

771
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,959
Speaker 5: ran up against that very same Denver Nuggets team. Their

772
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 5: star is getting older, both of them, and so they

773
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 5: decided that they needed they needed to pivot. They needed

774
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 5: to think long term and what that looked like as

775
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 5: a brand and a team, and this trade presented itself

776
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 5: in getting Luka Doncic an All NBA player, MVP caliber player.

777
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 5: I don't even know if he's in his prime yet,

778
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 5: his pre prime, because you usually hit your prime around

779
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 5: seven eight years.

780
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 4: That's just what it is, right, right, sure, sure.

781
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 5: Right, you've weathered the storm, you know what you need

782
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 5: to do to get better. All of these things it

783
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,959
Speaker 5: usually happens around that time. Well, he's not even there

784
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 5: yet and they have him, so number one, they're to

785
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 5: be commended for doing something like this, Like this is

786
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 5: something that you know most wouldn't have the heart to do.

787
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 5: Now we can look back in five years and be like, man,

788
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 5: that was the greatest trade in the history of trades, right,

789
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 5: similar to when they traded for Kareem and what that

790
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 5: turned into. They traded for Kobe Bryant on Draft Day

791
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 5: and what that turned into. This has now that's all

792
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 5: speculatory because it hasn't happened yet.

793
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,479
Speaker 4: But this type of move that.

794
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 5: Would normally be done by the late great Jerry West

795
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 5: is now being done by Rob Polinka, who's been criticized

796
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 5: and right he's heard the talks of Lebron as Lebron

797
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 5: is making the decisions this and that and that and

798
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 5: that and that, and I knew there was gonna be

799
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 5: pushedback when they wanted to trade, when Lebron and them

800
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 5: wanted Russell Westbrook and then they wanted him traded, and

801
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 5: Rob Polenka Jennie Buss said, hey, man, y'all wanted him.

802
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 5: Y'all figure it out. And it didn't happen. That next

803
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 5: year they end up, you know, end up going. And

804
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 5: so now we're the situation now where they have done

805
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 5: what they needed to do moving forward and all, I mean,

806
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 5: he's an MVP candidate.

807
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 4: Period for sure. For sure, you don't get those in trade.

808
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:54,760
Speaker 4: When does that happen?

809
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 2: Well, no it doesn't, it doesn't, But why did it happen?

810
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 5: Look, we can ask ourselves that a million no, no.

811
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 2: Like it's a very relevant question.

812
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 4: Like what was Dallas thinking, yes, we.

813
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 3: Love, we love in sports to just write like New

814
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 3: York Jets, Sacramento Kings, Haha, stupid organization. I don't believe

815
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 3: that any organization is that dumb that there wasn't a

816
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 3: reason here, not saying.

817
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 2: It was a good one. I don't know what it was.

818
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: But if if you sat down and you talk to Miko,

819
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 3: general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, and you had no microphone,

820
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:51,439
Speaker 3: he would tell you a reason like I wonder, if

821
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 3: you're having this much trouble with conditioning and defense when

822
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:02,760
Speaker 3: you're twenty five, then how does it look when you're thirty,

823
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 3: Because that is, of course what they were about to

824
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 3: sign up for. It's what the Lakers may sign up for.

825
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 3: I mean, now there's no Supermax on the table, so

826
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 3: this may look more like a three year deal or

827
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 3: something like that. In the office. I don't know what

828
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 3: he's going to sign, but the Mavericks are staring down

829
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 3: the barrel of we're going to have you until you're thirty,

830
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,959
Speaker 3: and thirty is only thirty.

831
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: That's fine.

832
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 3: But if you're on a rapid weight gain and you're

833
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 3: battling the organization over it, and you're missing games and

834
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 3: you won't play defense, and when the ball gets stripped,

835
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 3: you spend about a half hour talking to the ref

836
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 3: while the other team runs down the floor. Like all

837
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 3: the things that we've debated before about Luca. I mean,

838
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 3: I don't know is that what happened here? Did the

839
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks just go.

840
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 4: We don't want to deal with it.

841
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 2: We're projecting that this is gonna go the other way, yeah,

842
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 2: and not the way you all think it's gonna go.

843
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 5: Didn't Mark Cuban sell up a big portion of the team.

844
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 5: So I'm wondering if, if he's still in control like

845
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 5: he was, does this happen.

846
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't.

847
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 4: I don't think so.

848
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I doubt that's a guy that's the but the

849
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 5: honest too, I don't think this happens if Mark Cuban

850
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 5: has his hand on the But I don't think he

851
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 5: does this at all. And I think that's why it's

852
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 5: so shocking to all of us, because it's like, whoa,

853
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 5: you know, this is not the Mavericks. We're you know,

854
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 5: we're used to under Mark.

855
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 3: Well, he joked before he sold that steak in the team.

856
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 3: He joked one time he was asked by a reporter

857
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 3: what what would be more likely, trade Luca or you

858
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 3: get divorced and and he said, well, you better call

859
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 3: a divorce lawyer, yeah, because that's like absolutely more likely

860
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 3: than me trading Luka Dancis.

861
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 2: Now, maybe that was a line for the cameras, some

862
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: sort of a.

863
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 4: Joke, but I don't just knowing Mark and in.

864
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 2: The time, at the time it was made.

865
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And so you know, look to your point,

866
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 5: they said, hey, if we sign up long term for this,

867
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,839
Speaker 5: is it going to click in this twenty five year

868
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 5: old young man's head that No, you do actually have

869
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 5: to work out in the offseason, you do have to

870
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 5: eat right, you do have to take care, take care

871
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 5: of yourself because this is a war of attrition. Although

872
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 5: he did lead him to the NBA Finals last year,

873
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 5: he did, and so it's it's a situation where you know,

874
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 5: obviously there had been some discourse or some they weren't

875
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 5: on the same page. Obviously, you don't make this trade

876
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 5: if you're in love with your all pro star, future

877
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 5: Hall of Famer, you don't do it. If you do,

878
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 5: it's franchise suicide. So we may never know just what

879
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 5: their issues were, especially not anytime soon. You never let

880
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 5: that stuff come out if you're you know, planning on

881
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 5: trading someone. That's the problem with the Jimmy Butler thing.

882
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 5: The world can see just what's going on, and so

883
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 5: now it's like, well, do we want that, And it's like, no,

884
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 5: we don't, right, we don't know any issues that they've

885
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 5: had with Luca. We don't know anything going on in

886
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 5: the locker room with Luca and the MAVs, him and

887
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 5: Kyrie or whatever. The Dallas Mavericks. Mavericks really just hoot.

888
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 5: They hitched their trailer to Kyrie, who's still a heck

889
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 5: of a player. Yeah, well, you know, three years ago

890
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 5: it was like, you know, he was he was, you know,

891
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 5: in the same pocket.

892
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 4: Jimmy Butler was sure.

893
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 5: And so now they feel with a D that they

894
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 5: can get something accomplished. I like Max Christy. I love

895
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 5: his development and how well he's played. He just had

896
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 5: a phenomenal game yesterday in New York prior to this

897
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 5: trade being announced. Now he's on a plane looking for

898
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 5: an airbnb in Dallas.

899
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 3: The Mavericks franchise went out there without Luca, without a D,

900
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 3: without Kyrie today out of Klay Thompson, who went one

901
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 3: for ten and I think they were down by thirty

902
00:53:55,400 --> 00:54:01,280
Speaker 3: something points at the end of one quarter. So yeah,

903
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of a gut punch this

904
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 3: is to all of them with that franchise. But let

905
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 3: me ask you this and don't answer yet. Coming up next,

906
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear about the future today. There's

907
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 3: a basketball game tomorrow night. Are the Lakers better today

908
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 3: than they were yesterday? I'd love to hear you answer that.

909
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 3: It's coming up next on Fox Sports Radio. All right,

910
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 3: that's e from Salama, Mark Willard Live Tyreck dot Com Studios.

911
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 3: I mean, let's jump right to that question. Like today.

912
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 3: I know that the move was for the future, and

913
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 3: the Lakers got a star.

914
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: And yeah, I get it.

915
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 3: Man, for only one first round pick, I think I'd

916
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 3: have done the deal.

917
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 4: How could you not?

918
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 3: But today, today, twenty twenty five, better team, better team today.

919
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 2: Than they were yesterday.

920
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know why?

921
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 2: Why?

922
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 5: And I'm going to answer the question just like you

923
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 5: asked it right Yesterday they played in New York, which

924
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 5: is I think number three in the East. Good team,

925
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 5: having a good year. They were on a five game

926
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 5: win streak, and the Lakers went into New York and won,

927
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 5: and Lebron had a phenomenal game, Austin Reeves had a

928
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 5: phenomenal game, and so on and so forth. Ad was

929
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 5: hurt and he has been hurt the last two and

930
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:35,280
Speaker 5: a half games. So if you ask me today right now,

931
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 5: if the Lakers are better than they were yesterday in

932
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,240
Speaker 5: the game they played in New York with Luka Doncic.

933
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 5: Now my entwer is unequivocally yes.

934
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 3: He's hurt too. He's been hurt longer than ad So,

935
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 3: like I said, so really, if you want to answer

936
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 3: it that way, the only thing that's different is that

937
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 3: Max Christie's not on the team anymore.

938
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 4: That's it.

939
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 2: So they're worse.

940
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 5: They're not worse because the potential of and he's coming back.

941
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 2: You know they both are.

942
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're both coming back, right, I guess, I guess

943
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 3: my like, we do have to ask it this way

944
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 3: or answer it this way as well. Like we got

945
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 3: sidetracked a little bit on the defensive thing. And I

946
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 3: know you think another deal is coming.

947
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 4: I can promise you it is, and I believe you, I.

948
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 3: Really do, because it doesn't It doesn't really add up

949
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:29,720
Speaker 3: in this moment.

950
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: I think, in a vacuum.

951
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 3: If you're talking about playoff basketball in twenty twenty five,

952
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 3: this roster, assuming health for all players, the ones who

953
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 3: left and the ones who are are now on the way,

954
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 3: this Laker roster that has a harder time winning a

955
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 3: playoff series than the one that just got broken up.

956
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 3: My opinion because I think defense gets more important as

957
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 3: you go.

958
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 4: I agree, and.

959
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 3: This is a like a stunningly pants around their ankles

960
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 3: defensive team. If you look at their roster right.

961
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 4: Now, who the Lakers?

962
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 2: Yes?

963
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that that they are not equipped in this

964
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 3: current moment to play defense in the playoffs.

965
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 4: In the NBA. No, And I don't think there are

966
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 4: a lot of teams that are.

967
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair.

968
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 5: But I will tell you this and just go back

969
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 5: and look that that the introduction to the wing defenders

970
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 5: that we have been waiting on has has been invaluable.

971
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 5: Meaning now having Vanderbilt back and Finny Smith playing like

972
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 5: he was three and D guy knockdown wing defenders, they

973
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 5: have changed how the Lakers now defense. That's the thing

974
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 5: that I'm hopeful and excited about because now you can

975
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 5: literally guard the three point line, the rotations, and even

976
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 5: Max Christy was playing a phenomenal defense. So what I'm

977
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 5: telling you is Ad is an eraser. A D is

978
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 5: an eraser because he protected the paint. The thing that

979
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 5: gives me hope is no one even scores in the

980
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:47,959
Speaker 5: paint anymore. That's true, even tries to do it, which

981
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 5: is infuriating.

982
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 4: To me.

983
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 3: I'm listening to you right now with on silent, this

984
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 3: Memphis Milwaukee game on on on the TV, and I

985
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 3: think it's been six minutes since somebody took the ball

986
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 3: inside the arc.

987
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: And so nowal and.

988
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 5: So now, given that and understanding that, you can say,

989
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 5: if they can guard the perimeter better, which they're doing

990
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 5: and their numbers show that, then are they a better

991
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 5: defensive team? And that's what's happening right now, it really

992
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 5: is now. I'm not I can't tell you that not

993
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 5: having a D doesn't matter. It does matter. He's an

994
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 5: All defensive player, an all you know, first team defensive

995
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 5: offensive player, a first team All both defense and offense,

996
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 5: in my opinion, should have been you know, Defensive Player

997
00:59:55,560 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 5: of the Year last year. So when you ask me that, no,

998
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 5: they've gotten a little worse when it comes to protecting

999
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 5: the paint. But what teams like to do offensively is

1000
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 5: they make it easier for you to protect the paint.

1001
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 5: Case in point, what I was talking about about Victor

1002
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 5: winbin Yama, right, like, AD's not down there battling him

1003
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 5: in blocking shots because he's shooting.

1004
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 4: Nine threes a game. So this notion of.

1005
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 5: Hey, defensively, they all have to pick it up wing defenders,

1006
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 5: and that's what we've been seeing this last week or so.

1007
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 5: Now that some guys are getting healthy and all of that,

1008
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 5: that's the only thing that's bringing me a little bit

1009
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 5: of excitement. Like, Okay, I see what you guys are

1010
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 5: trying to do. So if they can keep that up

1011
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 5: and keep that going, look, I think they'll be Okay.

1012
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, not having a d hurts and I'm not

1013
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 3: I can't make any Well, it sounds like you think

1014
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 3: you're not going to have Lebron either by Thursday.

1015
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 5: I don't think so that's crazy. So was this trade?

1016
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, of course there's nothing nonelier than this. Now

1017
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 3: we're almost expecting the un.

1018
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 4: Head and that's why I feel the way I feel.

1019
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, listen, If Luca can be traded, Lebron can

1020
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 3: be traded.

1021
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 2: For sure. I think we've arrived at.

1022
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 3: The point at least where there's only one human being

1023
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 3: on Earth who can't be traded.

1024
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 4: Oh we know who that is.

1025
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: One person and that is Steve.

1026
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 4: No trade clause to say it, right.

1027
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 6: No, pretty much everybody can be traded.

1028
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, never mind, by the way way.

1029
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 8: It is potentially three first rounders that the Kings will

1030
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 8: wind up in this deal, but longtime NBA writer Mark

1031
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 8: Stein Passes Along and others have pointed out that the

1032
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 8: first rounder for this summer that is going along in

1033
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,959
Speaker 8: the trade is actually Charlotte's first rounder and its top

1034
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 8: fourteen protected, and Charlotte stinks, so instead that'll become a

1035
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 8: couple of second rounders over the next two years. But

1036
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 8: we do have a three team trade. Two players to

1037
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 8: the Spurs, including Deer and Fox, two players to the

1038
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 8: Sacramento Kings, including Zach Lavine. Sacramento will get a first

1039
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 8: rounder twenty twenty seven from the Spurs, a first rounder

1040
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 8: twenty thirty one that had belonged to Minnesota. Three players

1041
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,080

Speaker 8: Late in the third quarter, it was ninety to sixty four,

1045
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 8: and then Philadelphia scored only twenty points in the final

1046
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 8: fifteen minutes of the game. Jason Tatum thirty five points,

1047

Speaker 8: not see the name Luka Donsich in the Dallas box square.

1053

Speaker 6: He's cool with the gig.

1092
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, what million dollars and I don't have to do

1093
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 8: anything else.

1094
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 4: This isn't great.

1095
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 8: The NFC won the Pro Bowl. It was not actual football,

1096
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 8: it was a flag football game. Nonetheless, they give out

1097
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 8: an MVP Trophy. Congratulations Jared Goff. His team won the

1098
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 8: flag football fifty six to fifty for those scoring at home.

1099
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 8: The Eagles and the Chiefs each landed in New Orleans

1100
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,360
Speaker 8: for next Sunday Super Bowl, and Alabama has a new

1101
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 8: offensive coordinator. It's due to be Ryan Grubb, who was

1102
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 8: OC at the University of Washington under Kayland.

1103
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 6: War for two years.

1104
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 8: Grub had one whole year as the Seahawks OC.

1105
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 3: Back to you, Steve, we don't want to wear you out,

1106
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 3: so an hour from now, instead of listing off all

1107
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 3: of the stars who might not play in their next game.

1108
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 3: I'm just going to request that you just list the

1109
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 3: stars that are going to play.

1110
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 2: It'd be a lot quicker, a lot quicker.

1111
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 8: I'm I'm not sure we can even be certain on

1112
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 8: that because immediately true, well we know.

1113
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 6: Lebron's get well, I mean we're yeah, there was there was.

1114
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 8: By the way, the sources article from ESPN today, Oh,

1115
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 8: he's staying past the trade deadline. I know the trade

1116
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 8: deadlines this week, but he's staying. He hees a Laker

1117
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 8: for this year.

1118
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 2: That was there. If he wants to be, he is that.

1119
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 8: That's true, right, it's essentially his no trade wants to

1120
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 8: even when Golden State asked Genie Bonscott asked, hold on,

1121
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 8: let me depeak to his agent, were the right person exactly.

1122
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 8: That's the one thing about this trade last night that

1123
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 8: actually made me feel great. It's oh, wait a minute,

1124
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 8: the Lakers have a he actually did something. This was

1125
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,480
Speaker 8: not Rich Paul pulling a trade for the Lakers. This

1126
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 8: is I don't know, kind of old school.

1127
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 4: I enjoyed seeing it.

1128
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this, and Steve awesome as always,

1129
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 3: thank you very much, Like Ephraim and I knew that

1130
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 3: like in today's day and age of social media. It's

1131
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 3: like five minutes after the trade and we're already having

1132
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 3: an argument over what is probably the most irrelevant part

1133
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 3: of the thing, but it is relevant, which is did

1134
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 3: Lebron know? And you saw within five minutes certain reporters

1135
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 3: and there were multiple reporters who had the same quote,

1136
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 3: which tells me that it's Rich Paul behind the quote

1137
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 3: about well, Lebron is at dinner and he just found

1138
01:07:54,280 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 3: out and he's processing this and more to come in

1139
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 3: in the days ahead. And now there are reporters arguing

1140
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 3: over whether or not Lebron forced a d out or

1141
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 3: if he had no idea. What's your take because I've

1142
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 3: been cruising around for a decade thinking Lebron knows everything.

1143
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 2: A month before that happened.

1144
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 4: Now, why would you know?

1145
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 5: You have to speak to certain you know, rumors and

1146
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 5: stuff like that, and and that, why would Lebron be

1147
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 5: forcing a d out?

1148
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 3: I have no idea exactly, but but you think he's

1149
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 3: going to be in Golden State and and they're significantly

1150
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 3: worse than the Lakers, So why would Lebron do that?

1151
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 5: I think Lebron wants to play with Steph. I think

1152
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 5: Steph wants to play with Lebron at this point, is

1153
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 5: Lebron chasing a trophy? Are is he happy with shattering

1154
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 5: every single record obviously outside of championships? And is he

1155
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 5: trying to finish up, have a good time, play with

1156
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 5: his son, play with the people he wants to play with,

1157
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 5: Like you have to start asking yourself that in you're

1158
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 5: twenty two, like what is there? And look, you can say, well,

1159
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,760
Speaker 5: you know, he's still trying to chase the Jordan it

1160
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 5: at this point, if he gets another championship, that means

1161
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 5: he would have to get two more championships.

1162
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 4: Well, and then the argument.

1163
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 5: Becomes, well, it took you thirty years to get however

1164
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 5: many you know to get six championships?

1165
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 3: So does it Like if what you're saying is about

1166
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 3: to happen, then somebody's lying.

1167
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 2: And let me bring another character into the book.

1168
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:56,599
Speaker 3: His name is Steph Curry and he is probably number

1169
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 3: two in the NBA as far as power brokers right

1170
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 3: now at this day and age, and Steph Curry has

1171
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 3: handled things in a much much different way throughout the years,

1172
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 3: but has been very very careful in recent weeks to

1173
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 3: pass along a couple of things.

1174
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: First, and foremost y'all are not.

1175
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 3: If you think I am not still hell bent on

1176
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 3: a fifth ring.

1177
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 2: Now.

1178
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 3: He has also said I care about this organization and

1179
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 3: we're not going to explode the future and make bad

1180
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 3: deals just on my behalf. And I would argue that

1181
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 3: both of those contentions by Steph don't blend with what

1182
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 3: you're saying right now about Lebron, which is let's have

1183
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 3: fun and just cruise through the sunset together.

1184
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:54,719
Speaker 5: It's also does Lebron think he could win a title

1185
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 5: with Luca or with Steph?

1186
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 2: My answer is probably they know to both. I would

1187
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 2: like right now, you know what I mean?

1188
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 3: Like here, one thing that's interesting about this whole week

1189
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,879
Speaker 3: from is this idea of like, let's just grab stars

1190
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 3: and huck.

1191
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Them together and the playoffs.

1192
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 3: The playoffs start in two months and the thunder are

1193
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 3: like and the Celtics and the Calves. That's like continuity. Man, yeah, man,

1194
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 3: you're not beating those teams. I don't care who you put. Yeah,

1195
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,759
Speaker 3: you're not gonna grab Luca or Lebron or de Aaron

1196
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 3: Fox and just be like, Okay, we're here, dude.

1197
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 2: You'll get crushed. You're gonna get crushed. That's what I think.

1198
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 5: I'm I'm I understand, and I get exactly what you're

1199
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 5: talking about. Right, It's not a plug and play, it's

1200
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 5: not legos. Continuity takes time. They already don't practice in

1201
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 5: the NBA. So this All Star break, if I'm coaching

1202
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 5: one of these teams with these new pieces, I'm like, hey, look, man,

1203
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 5: I know y'all want to go into the beach and

1204
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 5: whatever you're going to do or be in the All

1205
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 5: Star stuff. We got to get some working, right, you

1206
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 5: got to sacrifice, you gotta get some working. We gotta

1207
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 5: make this this thing go.

1208
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 3: I can't believe that zach Lavine is on the Kings

1209
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 3: and we can't even like there's not there's not even

1210
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 3: any room for it, right, zach Lavine is on the Kings,

1211
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 3: Dearon Fox is on the Spurs. The Spurs pull the

1212
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 3: deal off without having to touch their shiny rookie who

1213
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 3: they picked forth overall in love. And yeah, Luca is

1214
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 3: a Laker, and you think Lebron will be a warrior

1215
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 3: within the next three.

1216
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 4: Days, it just might happen.

1217
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 5: And look, I could be completely wrong, yeah, and off

1218
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 5: my rocker.

1219
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 3: But.

1220
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 4: Stranger things have happened.

1221
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 3: Obviously, I will say this coming up at the top

1222
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 3: of the hour, I would love to spend a little

1223
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 3: time on the super Bowl with you, so we can

1224
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:26,720
Speaker 3: do that coming up next, exactly exactly, It'll be a

1225
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 3: smaller still, we will there be more social media action

1226
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 3: next Sunday or last night, I don't know, but coming

1227
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 3: up next, we continue to ask the questions and work

1228
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 3: our way through the wreckage of stars changing teams within

1229
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 3: the last twenty four hours, and I would love to

1230
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 3: dig a little deeper on what do we really think

1231
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 3: the MAVs think and does that worry you as a

1232
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 3: Laker fan? So we'll get to all of that coming

1233
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 3: up next Tyreck dot Com Studios with me from Salam,

1234
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 3: Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio, Tyreck dot Com Studios. Yes,

1235
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 3: the super Bowl does exist. We'll we'll find our way

1236
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 3: to it somehow. I do have something I want to

1237
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 3: run by you about this matchup, so do that in

1238
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 3: a bit, Mark Whitty from Salam if you're just joining us,

1239
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 3: dearon Fox is a spur, Zach Lavine is a king,

1240
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 3: Kevin Herder.

1241
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 2: Is a bull.

1242
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,719
Speaker 3: There are other pieces and a bunch of draft picks

1243
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,679
Speaker 3: flying around in a multi team trade but Fox gets

1244
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 3: his way. He's off to San Antonio, his preferred destination.

1245
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 3: And obviously Luca is a Laker, Ad is a Maverick

1246
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 3: and who knows what is coming up around the next

1247
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 3: NBA turn? Is there anything in you? You ever go

1248
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 3: to the to the store and there's like that smoking

1249
01:14:54,920 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 3: deal like liquidation type prices, and you're like, this is.

1250
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 2: This is fantastic. Give give me eight of them.

1251
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 3: I want eight, And then right before you get to

1252
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:18,799
Speaker 3: the checkout stand, you're like, is there something wrong with these.

1253
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,959
Speaker 2: That I don't know about?

1254
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 3: Tell me there isn't a tiny half of a percent

1255
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 3: of you that's like.

1256
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, wait a minute.

1257
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,400
Speaker 3: You're gonna give me Luca at age twenty five, and

1258
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:41,679
Speaker 3: I only need to give you one first round pick

1259
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 3: four years from now. What do you know Mavericks that

1260
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 3: the rest of.

1261
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 2: Us don't know? See?

1262
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 5: And that's where I'm bumping up against this because this

1263
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 5: didn't happen.

1264
01:15:58,720 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 4: This week, our last week.

1265
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 2: Correct.

1266
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 5: So that's like, that's like going to buy a new

1267
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 5: car or trading in your car and getting another car

1268
01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 5: and they give you the car for three months. They

1269
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 5: give you the car for three months, right right, And

1270
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 5: in three months you decide, you know what, I like it,

1271
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep it. That's what we're talking about here,

1272
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 5: Like if they have been start if they started this

1273
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 5: three months ago, all this stuff we're speculating and asking,

1274
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 5: I can promise you it's been talked about in nausea

1275
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 5: and so I don't know if it's one of those

1276
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 5: Oh well, I didn't see the fine print down here,

1277
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:57,719
Speaker 5: you know, because they've secretly been discussing what this looks

1278
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 5: like and why they're doing it for three months.

1279
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 2: Well, correct, So I don't think that anything. I'm not

1280
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 2: saying the.

1281
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 3: Wolves getting pulled over the Lakers' eyes here by any stretch,

1282
01:17:11,479 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 3: because the two general managers are very, very tight, like

1283
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 3: there's a good working relationship there. But what I'm more

1284
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 3: interested in what led the MAVs to this decision. Not

1285
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 3: so much like we know something you don't, But the

1286
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 3: Mavericks have been with this man for years.

1287
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, and everybody is running analytics all the time, and

1288
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 9: everybody has all the medicals and all the background and.

1289
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:50,679
Speaker 2: The experience of working every day together.

1290
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 3: And at some point they sat down, they looked at

1291
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 3: each other and.

1292
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,919
Speaker 2: They're like, we don't want to sign up for anymore.

1293
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 2: What is that? What led to that?

1294
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 4: I don't know. I guess we can speculate.

1295
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 5: But new ownership has a lot to do with new decisions,

1296
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 5: and like we had mentioned earlier, we don't think Mark

1297
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 5: Cuban does this at all, but new ownership comes in

1298
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 5: case in point. I know it wasn't a player, but

1299
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 5: it was a big move when the new owners came

1300
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 5: in and bought Golden State and they decided to move

1301
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 5: on from a coach that they won with fifty six

1302
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 5: games that year.

1303
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were ascending, y right.

1304
01:18:54,240 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 5: We finally got to see what Clay and Steph and

1305
01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 5: Draymond could be together, and that was because of Mark

1306
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 5: Jackson and the new owners came in and said, hey,

1307
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 5: we're gonna get the keys to somebody else, and everybody

1308
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 5: was like, wait, what just happened?

1309
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 2: I feel you, But that's a coach, brother.

1310
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 4: I know.

1311
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is players.

1312
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 5: Those type of decisions that we don't understand ownership. They

1313
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 5: don't They're not held to the same shackles as the

1314
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:24,719
Speaker 5: old people.

1315
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,080
Speaker 2: These players don't come along though. Man.

1316
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 3: I just all right, much more on that, plus the

1317
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 3: super Bowl coming up next, all rocket and rolling into

1324
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 3: Aaron is a Zach is a king, and draft picks

1325
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 3: are flying all over the place. And it's still the

1326
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 3: weekend for crying out loud, so we got a long

1327
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 3: way to go. The reports are that Lebron says he's

1328
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 3: going to stay a Laker. We'll see, but back to

1329
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 3: the NBA in a few minutes. I do want to

1330
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 3: just make sure that we say one or two or

1331
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 3: a few things about this Super Bowl matchup. Here's what

1332
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:30,240
Speaker 3: I want to get off my chest, and many many apologies.

1333
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 2: If you are a huge fan of one of these teams.

1334
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 2: This matchup.

1335
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 3: Two very good teams, two very deserving teams. You don't

1336
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 3: even need me to say that they were recently matched

1337
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,599
Speaker 3: up against one another already in this game.

1338
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:54,520
Speaker 2: But this matchup is evil versus.

1339
01:20:54,200 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 3: Evil when it comes to how we play with content

1340
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 3: on a screen the best content. Most movies that I

1341
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 3: go to has good versus evil. That's how it works.

1342
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:17,679
Speaker 3: You don't really have the Joker go against the Joker

1343
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:19,480
Speaker 3: or the Penguin.

1344
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 2: You have to have Batman.

1345
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 3: And the problem with this matchup, as far as I

1346
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 3: can tell, for most fans around the country, is that

1347
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,799
Speaker 3: this is evil versus evil and they're not actually evil.

1348
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 3: But the Kansas City Chiefs are in the midst of

1349
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 3: a dynasty and people love to root against that unless

1350
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 3: it's your favorite team. And the Eagles are loud, boisterous

1351
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 3: and have what I would refer to as the hardest

1352
01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 3: fan based to stomach in the game. I don't say

1353
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 3: that because, like, because all fan bases are annoying when

1354
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 3: they're winning, that's the deal.

1355
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 2: But there's just too.

1356
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 3: Much in Philadelphia where it appears to be a fan

1357
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 3: base that is proud of how like dangerous they are

1358
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 3: at a game.

1359
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 2: They're proud of how obnoxious they are.

1360
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 3: They're proud of how many people they can assault, how

1361
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 3: many hats they can steal off of the people who

1362
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:35,799
Speaker 3: wore the wrong hat to the game, and they'll defend

1363
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 3: this stuff. Oh, you don't want us to come to

1364
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 3: you that don't wear that to the game. This is

1365
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 3: like non acceptable normal human behavior. So people root against them.

1366
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 3: It only makes them louder and stronger. From I don't

1367
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 3: know what else to say. I want both teams to lose. Well,

1368
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 3: that's not possible. So if you correct to pick one.

1369
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 4: Like had to.

1370
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 3: My lovely lady is in the money in my brother

1371
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 3: in law's playoff NFL pool. I'm waiting to find out

1372
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,479
Speaker 3: who she is going to pick, and I will be

1373
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 3: rooting for that team. But if I had to had

1374
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 3: to had to pick, I guess I would root for

1375
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 3: the Eagles because they don't really have any problem with

1376
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 3: their players. Their coach is their coach. He's an eye roll.

1377
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 3: And I'm increasingly not feeling any sort of fanship toward

1378
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes, which we can get to that in a second.

1379
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 3: That's actually become a thing just this year. But I

1380
01:23:57,400 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 3: love Andy Reid, I love Travis Kelcey. I have nothing

1381
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 3: again against cameras on Taylor Swift. I'm not mad at

1382
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:05,759
Speaker 3: any of that. They're just good. They're very very good.

1383
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 3: They win almost every time they play football. So yeah,

1384
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 3: I guess the Eagles. But I literally offered, you know,

1385
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 3: the people who I was gonna. We talked about doing

1386
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl party, and I'm like, all ten bar,

1387
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't really need to Seriously, I don't

1388
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 3: need to watch this.

1389
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 2: I'm so I think I'm speaking for a lot of

1390
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 2: people right now. I really do.

1391
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 5: You may be, but I think people have been galvanized

1392
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 5: by Saquon Barkley and awesome and what he's meant to

1393
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:55,160
Speaker 5: this team and what he went through last year.

1394
01:24:56,160 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 4: And they watched New York pick wrong on.

1395
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:09,639
Speaker 5: TV yep, and so the fact that he had several

1396
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 5: moments during the year where he could have been selfish,

1397
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 5: he chose to be team first. So that will galvanize you,

1398
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 5: and that will that don't have you rooting for him,

1399
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 5: whether you have a dog in the fight or not. Right,

1400
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 5: you want to see him do well. And on the

1401
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 5: flip side of that, you know some people seeing something

1402
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 5: that has never been done in the NFL in terms

1403
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 5: of a three peat is intriguing. We know Patrick Mahomes,

1404
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:49,640
Speaker 5: especially if he wins next Sunday, is on the precipice

1405
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 5: of being the greatest quarterback to ever play, which would

1406
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 5: mean he has four Super Bowls, three in a row

1407
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 5: in six years, not even the great Tom Brady had

1408
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:11,720
Speaker 5: been able to do that as well, as there was

1409
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:19,560
Speaker 5: a decade drought between Super Bowls at some aspect in

1410
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 5: that dynasty. And I just don't see that happening with

1411
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes. So can he get to seven? They win

1412
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 5: next Sunday, then that answer to me is, of course

1413
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 5: they can, And of course he can't.

1414
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 4: Sure they got the.

1415
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 5: Best coach, the best defensive coordinator. Not sure how much

1416
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 5: much longer he's gonna be there, but he will be

1417
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 5: there obviously next year. And Andy Reid is one of

1418
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 5: the best coaches to ever coach, and so Patrick Mahomes

1419
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 5: being one of the best quarterback are, if not the

1420
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 5: best quarterback in terms of talent to ever play. I

1421
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 5: don't see this train slowing down.

1422
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 4: And that is.

1423
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 5: An intriguing story. Now there is you know, fan fatigue.

1424
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:24,800
Speaker 5: Of course, there is no swagger to Patrick Mahomes. So

1425
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 5: it's you know, it's hard.

1426
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 4: To root for swag less players.

1427
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:38,640
Speaker 5: Well right, right, Russell Wilson didn't have any swagger, but

1428
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 5: the legion of boom Did you get my point?

1429
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 2: I do right here?

1430
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,680
Speaker 3: Like the Mahomes thing is, for me, it's almost going

1431
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 3: backwards and I'll admit that this is unfair.

1432
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 2: It's not his fault. No that that it seems like they.

1433
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 3: Got all the calls this year, right, Like, that's not

1434
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:02,600
Speaker 3: that's not as fault. Although there is one piece that

1435
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 3: does bug me. But he's not the only one who

1436
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:08,360
Speaker 3: does it. This whole slide right at the shins of

1437
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 3: the defensive player, like that needs to start being penalized.

1438
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 3: You and I have talked about this. He flopped out

1439
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 3: of bounds more than once. I don't enjoy it. Here's

1440
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 3: what bugs me. It's almost going back in time. Do

1441
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 3: you remember a year and a half ago when the

1442
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 3: Bills beat the Chiefs on a controversial call. It was

1443
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:31,720
Speaker 3: this the Kadarius Tony lining up off sides.

1444
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 2: Do you remember this play?

1445
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:39,559
Speaker 3: Well, if you remember what happened after that game, the

1446
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks met at midfield. And I don't know how

1447
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 3: often this happens because I didn't play in the NFL.

1448
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 3: You did you tell me? I think even when you're frustrated,

1449
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 3: and even when there was a call you think was

1450
01:28:53,800 --> 01:28:56,760
Speaker 3: a bad one, when the game ends and you get

1451
01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 3: to midfield and you're up there with your counterpart, if

1452
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 3: you're going to talk to them, and congratulate him.

1453
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 2: Then that's what you do.

1454
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 3: Maybe you ask how the kids are, maybe you just

1455
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 3: who knows what that exchange is about. But if you

1456
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 3: remember what Patrick did in that moment, was he looked

1457
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 3: at Josh Allen, the winning quarterback, the man who's literally

1458
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 3: not been able to get over the top of you

1459
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 3: Patrick in his whole career, and he comes over with

1460
01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 3: sort of that aweshuck smile, and Patrick.

1461
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,680
Speaker 2: Looks at him and goes, could you believe that?

1462
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 3: Crappy call? What a bunch of bs off sides? Can

1463
01:29:40,400 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 3: you believe that? And then walked off. And I thought

1464
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 3: to myself, Patrick, has anybody done that to.

1465
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 6: You this year?

1466
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:51,719
Speaker 4: Right?

1467
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 3: Did Josh do that? Because Josh got a first down? Patrick?

1468
01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:59,719
Speaker 3: He got a first down on that play. I don't

1469
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 3: care what anybody wants to tell me. He was up

1470
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:07,719
Speaker 3: by a point in your territory in the fourth quarter

1471
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:09,719
Speaker 3: and he got it first down.

1472
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 2: Now, whatever Kakamamy rules and weird.

1473
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:16,320
Speaker 3: Ways of spotting the ball and oh, we can't tell

1474
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:18,640
Speaker 3: for sh whatever you want to give me, give it

1475
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 3: to me, but it's all a bunch of ball.

1476
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 2: And I don't know that he would have won the

1477
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:23,879
Speaker 2: game anyway.

1478
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 3: But you know that I could sit here for the

1479
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 3: rest of our hour and lay out all the things

1480
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 3: that went the Chiefs way this year. And I don't

1481
01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:36,679
Speaker 3: think anybody ever went up to Patrick after the game

1482
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 3: and said, could.

1483
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:42,719
Speaker 2: You believe that crap that led to you beating me today?

1484
01:30:43,880 --> 01:30:46,759
Speaker 3: And I just I can't get it out of my head.

1485
01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 3: It feels very classless to me.

1486
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 5: You know what, That's a good point, and I can

1487
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 5: see how that would definitely turn you off, right when

1488
01:30:56,600 --> 01:31:02,320
Speaker 5: you expect everything and when you don't get it, you

1489
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 5: have a tantrum.

1490
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,880
Speaker 4: Yes, oh like my at ten and thirteen year old.

1491
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:13,439
Speaker 5: Right, that's called parenting it and I get that, and yes,

1492
01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,679
Speaker 5: it's annoying when my kids do it, and it's annoying

1493
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 5: when grown people do it. And so yeah, I hear that,

1494
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 5: I see that, and it's everything that goes with that.

1495
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:32,599
Speaker 5: I think people are really pulling for the one bright

1496
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:42,840
Speaker 5: spot that is in Philadelphia's locker room. Definitely not Nick Sirianni,

1497
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 5: Definitely not book reading wide receivers. It's the one guy

1498
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:58,600
Speaker 5: who's constantly shown it's not about me, it's about we,

1499
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:04,559
Speaker 5: And that's Saquon Barkley. A lot of difference a day makes,

1500
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 5: a year makes and my hat goes off to him.

1501
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 5: Me personally, I would have went for the all time

1502
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:20,840
Speaker 5: rushing record because it's been forty years. He'll never be

1503
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:24,479
Speaker 5: in this position again, and people will be like, well,

1504
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:26,960
Speaker 5: how do you know that? Trust me, there is a

1505
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:31,640
Speaker 5: reason it's been around for forty years. It's tough to do,

1506
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 5: even more so now than ever before because it's a

1507
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 5: passing league. You gotta remember that happened when it wasn't

1508
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 5: a passing league. Now it is a passing league. So

1509
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 5: I'd love to see se Kwan be rewarded.

1510
01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 4: For his.

1511
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:08,080
Speaker 5: You know, his team first mentality, his selflessness and winning

1512
01:33:08,080 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl because to me, that's the only thing

1513
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:17,639
Speaker 5: then makes that Okay, yeah, not going for that record, No,

1514
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:21,680
Speaker 5: that's the only thing. He is.

1515
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:26,759
Speaker 3: He's fantastic, man, He's fantastic, and he may have changed

1516
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 3: the game and you and I.

1517
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 2: Talked him a lot about it this year, at least.

1518
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 3: Temporarily until the pendulum swings back the other way. But

1519
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 3: this this thirty thirty five million dollar wide receiver thing,

1520
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,920
Speaker 3: and and and their best wide receiver reads books now

1521
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 3: while sa Kuon Barkley wins games, Yeah, it might change

1522
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 3: the way contracts are structured with skill position players in

1523
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 3: the league.

1524
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 4: I hope, so yeah, I do, I hope.

1525
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 2: So all right, it's more still ahead.

1526
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,720
Speaker 3: It's already been maybe the most fascinating trade deadline in

1527
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:08,760
Speaker 3: the history of the league, and I was sort of

1528
01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:11,240
Speaker 3: prepared for it to not even start until like Tuesday.

1529
01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 3: But here we are, dearon Fox on the Move, Luca

1531
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:20,679
Speaker 3: the Move. We'll get back to all of that coming

Speaker 3: up next with Ipram Salam Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio. Okay,

Speaker 3: after we get off of the air. But not done yet.

1543
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 3: I will say this, I wonder how this grabs you.

1544
01:34:55,960 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 3: It's been twenty four hours of breathtaking moves in the NBA.

1545
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 3: Two of them so far, Tiern Fox to the Spurs,

1546
01:35:06,160 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 3: Zach Lavine goes to the Kings. Lots more players and picks,

1547
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:11,880
Speaker 3: but those are the principles. And then obviously the Luca

1548
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:15,759
Speaker 3: and Ad trade, and I think.

1549
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:19,679
Speaker 2: That we could debate the merits of the long term.

1550
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:24,000
Speaker 3: I think obviously the MAVs acquired a star too, but

1551
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:26,560
Speaker 3: it feels to me like the Lakers and the Spurs

1552
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,240
Speaker 3: did the most interesting things for.

1553
01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 2: The long term.

1554
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:32,639
Speaker 3: But as much as we're all just trying to catch

1555
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:36,120
Speaker 3: our breath here, Ephraim, I really don't think the race

1556
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:38,800
Speaker 3: for this year's trophy changed a damn bit.

1557
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 4: Who's in that race.

1558
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 3: The Oklahoma City Thunder are in that race, The Calves

1559
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 3: are in that race, The Boston Celtics are certainly in

1560
01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 3: that race. The Denver Nuggets are in that race. And

1561
01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:59,680
Speaker 3: then if I wanted to like push this thing a

1562
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:03,840
Speaker 3: little further to like, you know, the teams that I

1563
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 3: guess you could think of as sleepers, from the Knicks

1564
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 3: to the Bucks because of their their pedigree. I feel

1565
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:15,559
Speaker 3: like it's too early for the Rockets, but maybe they're

1566
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 3: this year's Washington Commanders. Yeah, that's kind of how I like.

1567
01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:28,040
Speaker 3: That's how I feel. And as far as the Laker thing,

1568
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,920
Speaker 3: they've got the star power, but I'm I think you're

1569
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 3: with me, like in this moment, they're still not constructed

1570
01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:38,479
Speaker 3: in the way that they need to be constructed. And

1571
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:40,920
Speaker 3: I've had a lot of Laker fans reach out in

1572
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 3: the last twenty four hours and say, oh, there's another

1573
01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 3: move coming, and maybe there is, but maybe there isn't.

1574
01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, we can revisit this conversation with the Lakers on

1575
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 5: Thursday afternoon.

1576
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:54,879
Speaker 4: Eastern.

1577
01:36:55,520 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 3: You know who they play that night that night, Golden State,

1578
01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors have be in your

1579
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:09,679
Speaker 3: building Thursday night. Which uniform will Lebron wear?

1580
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 4: That'd be interesting.

1581
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, So but no, that's that's kind of how I

1582
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 3: see it. That's I don't I don't think any of

1583
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:23,400
Speaker 3: these deals suddenly vaulted anybody closer to those teams at

1584
01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:23,720
Speaker 3: the top.

1585
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 5: But what I would I will say that these deals

1586
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:34,080
Speaker 5: are doing for the the NBA is it It's making

1587
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 5: it relevant. It's making it relevant. Right now, people are

1588
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:44,560
Speaker 5: a little put off by the NBA in terms of

1589
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:47,919
Speaker 5: the style of play, in terms of the All Star format.

1590
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 4: What's going on there? Viewership is down?

1591
01:37:52,320 --> 01:38:00,559
Speaker 5: So if anything else what's happened, is this type of movement,

1592
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:06,759
Speaker 5: in this caliber of talent on the move peaks interest.

1593
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 5: Now people want to see what that new team is

1594
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 5: gonna look like. What is a lakerlu a Laker Luca

1595
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 5: team gonna look like?

1596
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:17,760
Speaker 4: If Lebron is still there? What is like all of that?

1597
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 5: I know Adam Silver is like, whoof Okay, we got

1598
01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,320
Speaker 5: a little heat, we got little buzz and ifl about

1599
01:38:25,360 --> 01:38:30,719
Speaker 5: to be over in a week, right, can they capture

1600
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:34,679
Speaker 5: the viewers after this all start thinking, my bob'm they're

1601
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:36,480
Speaker 5: doing in two weeks?

1602
01:38:36,920 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't even know what it is yet? Right? Can they?

1603
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:45,680
Speaker 4: Can you garner eyeballs.

1604
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 5: You know to the new look teams that will you know,

1605
01:38:53,120 --> 01:39:00,040
Speaker 5: be around next in what four days? Five days? So

1606
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 5: I think it's good for the league. I think it's

1607
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 5: good for fans to see this level of movement. It's interesting.

1608
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:11,839
Speaker 5: I do want to see what the ad Kyrie Cavs

1609
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 5: look like. I want to see what the Lebron Luca

1610
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:19,040
Speaker 5: Lakers look like. Are the Louca whoever are the step

1611
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:19,799
Speaker 5: and Lebron?

1612
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 2: Like?

1613
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,000
Speaker 4: You would watch that? Correct?

1614
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 2: Oh?

1615
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 3: For sure, yes, no, I like by no stretch, am

1616
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 3: I suggesting that this is in any way bad for

1617
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:29,719
Speaker 3: the league.

1618
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 2: Except from this standpoint, I think the league.

1619
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 3: Over the last five years or so, maybe even more

1620
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:43,040
Speaker 3: five to ten years, it leans too hard into the

1621
01:39:43,120 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 3: things that happen off of the court. I know a

1622
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 3: lot of NBA fans who are more interested in July

1623
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 3: than June. Yeah, so that soap opera is.

1624
01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 2: There's a little law of diminishing returns there. You're right.

1625
01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 2: Free agency is great.

1626
01:40:03,479 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 3: Massive trades are gonna get all kinds of buzz going,

1627
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:08,839
Speaker 3: and it will bring eyeballs to the party for a moment.

1628
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:13,679
Speaker 3: But if you keep shooting sixty three's a game, they're

1629
01:40:13,720 --> 01:40:14,559
Speaker 3: gonna leave again.

1630
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:23,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think the dynamics of these stars changing

1631
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:28,040
Speaker 5: teams right now, you get dearon Fox out of the

1632
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 5: Sacramento black.

1633
01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 4: Hole, and you team them with what could be, you know,

1634
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 4: one of.

1635
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:42,600
Speaker 5: The the unguardable forces eventually in the league. With win Binyama,

1636
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:50,560
Speaker 5: you get Luca and the Purple and Goal. Right, you

1637
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:53,720
Speaker 5: pair one of the biggest stars with one of the

1638
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 5: biggest stars and one of the biggest brands. I think

1639
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 5: that's exciting, and I think it'll have staying power for

1640
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:13,120
Speaker 5: this year, right, like the upstart Rockets and the dominant Cavaliers. Yeah,

1641
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 5: that's not that you don't want to build. That's not

1642
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 5: just not going to help. That's not going to work, right,

1643
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:22,759
Speaker 5: That's like if we do it, we did our show

1644
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 5: without the must hear voice of Steve the segre It

1645
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 5: just it's not going to translate.

1646
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 2: That's not going to happen.

1647
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 8: Hello once again, gentlemen, and we are a week away

1648

Speaker 8: because of puncturing glass while making ravioli. But Scotty Scheffler

1703
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:38,600
Speaker 8: is back on the course and this was one of

1704
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:42,479
Speaker 8: those signature events, so huge payouts on the PGA Tour,

1705
01:44:42,520 --> 01:44:45,840
Speaker 8: even though it's not a major. The winner McElroy gets

1706
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:49,759
Speaker 8: three point six million dollars, the runner up Shane Lowry

1707
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:53,400
Speaker 8: over two point one million. Everybody in the top ten

1708
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:56,840
Speaker 8: today gets at least a half million, and everybody that

1709
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,680
Speaker 8: finished in the top thirty five gets six figures for

1710
01:44:59,720 --> 01:45:02,760
Speaker 8: the week weekend for their play at Pebble Beach. By

1711
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:06,240
Speaker 8: the way, the live golf schedule starts next weekend, they'll

1712
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 8: have a three day event. All the live golf tournaments

1713
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 8: are three days in Saudi Arabia on Thursday, Friday Saturday.

1714
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,479
Speaker 8: For live golf, every tournament has a total purse of

1715
01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,240
Speaker 8: twenty five million dollars.

1716
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:21,040
Speaker 2: Back to you.

1717
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 3: I don't know what's more breathtaking that or the fact

1718
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 3: that you just announced a baseball signing that didn't end

1719
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:30,520
Speaker 3: with the word Dodgers.

1720
01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:32,400
Speaker 6: No, actually leaving the Dodgers.

1721
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like, that's why.

1722
01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've heard me laughing, gasp, but

1723
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 3: you're like, check Flaherty signs with and I'm like, I

1724
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:42,720
Speaker 3: know how this sentence ends. And then you said one

1725
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,320
Speaker 3: of those other words, you said Tigers or something crazy

1726
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 3: like that.

1727
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:49,200
Speaker 8: That's correct, he's back to Detroit where he very recently was.

1728
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 8: Already some you mentioned all the Dodger signings, and that's

1729
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 8: what they lacked last year was pitching. So they've just

1730
01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 8: kind of overdone it in this offseason. You know, they

1731
01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:59,599
Speaker 8: had a lefty closer and a righty closer, and then

1732
01:45:59,640 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 8: now they added another lefty closer and another righty closer,

1733
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 8: so they have four closers to mix and match as

1734
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 8: they wish. But as far as starting pitchers, already, some

1735
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:11,840
Speaker 8: have said, you know, I don't know if there's room

1736
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:14,880
Speaker 8: for Clayton Kershaw at this point, but everybody does expect him.

1737
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 6: To re sign.

1738
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:18,519
Speaker 2: Why not? Yeah, why not?

1739
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:20,719
Speaker 8: As he put it, I didn't go through this reheab

1740
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 8: for nothing, right.

1741
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 3: And he'll probably love the idea of pitching like, I

1742
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:27,120
Speaker 3: don't know, once every three weeks or something.

1743
01:46:27,200 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's already going to be a six man rotation

1744
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 8: of course, because hey, yeah it can be working Otani

1745
01:46:32,200 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 8: back into it. Sasaki from Japan. That's a once a

1746
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,320
Speaker 8: week rotation they usually have over there.

1747
01:46:38,600 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 2: Gosh, yeah, that should be interesting.

1748
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 3: All right, Steve as always, thank you, thank you for

1749
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:47,680
Speaker 3: the great stuff tonight, and we look forward to to

1750
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:53,160
Speaker 3: next week already ty rock dot Com Studios from salam

1751
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:56,000
Speaker 3: Mark Willard. Hey, can we play a quick game of

1752
01:46:57,479 --> 01:46:58,719
Speaker 3: do you believe Lebron?

1753
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:02,479
Speaker 2: The game here?

1754
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's do it, all right, Okay, They like, they

1755
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:07,519
Speaker 3: say he had no idea this was coming.

1756
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 2: Do you believe Lebron?

1757
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:18,120
Speaker 10: Do I believe Lebron's They said he had no idea,

1758
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 10: he was totally caught off guard by this trade.

1759
01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 2: Do you believe Lebron? You do?

1760
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:25,080
Speaker 4: I do believe it?

1761
01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:31,920
Speaker 2: Okay? All right. They say that Lebron says he not

1762
01:47:32,040 --> 01:47:39,080
Speaker 2: going anywhere. Do you believe Lebron? You don't? Okay?

1763
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:48,000
Speaker 3: They say that wherever Lebron does end up, it's not

1764
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 3: necessarily tied to Bronny. Do you believe Lebron? No, okay,

1765
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:58,960
Speaker 3: you don't. That's two strikes. Watch out. The Willard family

1766
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 3: is over there and they're to steal. Yeah, believe me.

1767
01:48:03,680 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 3: Not the first time we've been booed. Okay, now I

1768
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 3: gotta come up with a different question. Oh, Lebron says no,

1769
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 3: he did not sour on Anthony Davis. Do you believe Lebron?

1770
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:24,519
Speaker 4: Yes?

1771
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:25,519
Speaker 2: You do?

1772
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 3: Okay, boy, I'd love to come up with a good

1773
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:31,960
Speaker 3: question to break the tie here.

1774
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:39,759
Speaker 2: Lebron says he still wants to win. Do you believe Lebron?

1775
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:40,840
Speaker 4: I do?

1776
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:44,240
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, there it is. You're a champion, You've won.

1777
01:48:44,920 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 3: You got three dings and only two buzzers.

1778
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:50,280
Speaker 4: I think.

1779
01:48:52,960 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 5: I think in order for this trade to go like

1780
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:59,680
Speaker 5: it went, I don't think he could have had this

1781
01:48:59,720 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 5: in from you know why, because he he.

1782
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:08,840
Speaker 4: Would have been distracted. And did you watch him play?

1783
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 4: And yeah, he was.

1784
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 2: He was unbelievable. He was unbelievable.

1785
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:16,599
Speaker 4: He was playing like a kid.

1786
01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,639
Speaker 2: Again, is it just because he's forty?

1787
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 3: He's forty, and so now the Lakers and again this

1788
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 3: is let's go with the idea that Lebron didn't know,

1789
01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:30,640
Speaker 3: and for the first time, I would argue, probably in

1790
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 3: the last twenty years.

1791
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 2: A team has made a big move without talking to him.

1792
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if that happened, but that's what we're

1793
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 3: supposed to believe.

1794
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:44,599
Speaker 2: And if that's true, is it just because he turned forty?

1795
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,679
Speaker 3: Are the Lakers now finally empowered to be like, look,

1796
01:49:48,720 --> 01:49:52,639
Speaker 3: we've got to we've got to put our own pants

1797
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 3: on and go back to actually running the team again

1798
01:49:57,200 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 3: because you're forty.

1799
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:00,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1800
01:50:00,960 --> 01:50:05,679
Speaker 5: I think it's a situation where we drafted your son

1801
01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 5: lifelong dream. We gave you the extension, but we know

1802
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:17,680
Speaker 5: there's an end to this chapter. And what we're not

1803
01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:21,840
Speaker 5: gonna do is get caught like we got caught at

1804
01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:28,480
Speaker 5: the end of Kobe's chapter. We are going to address

1805
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:34,559
Speaker 5: this and also give you an opportunity if you choose

1806
01:50:35,200 --> 01:50:40,800
Speaker 5: to play with one of the greatest young talents in

1807
01:50:40,840 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 5: the league. What more could they do for him? What

1808
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:49,000
Speaker 5: more can they do for him?

1809
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:49,479
Speaker 2: Hmm?

1810
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:54,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if they could do

1811
01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 3: more for him, but I bet I bet he doesn't agree.

1812
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 3: I guess what they could have done is ask no,

1813
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 3: find out what he thinks.

1814
01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:10,960
Speaker 4: No, because that would.

1815
01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 5: That would give you the notion that it mattered what

1816
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 5: we thought.

1817
01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:21,559
Speaker 3: Okay, but here here's here's I think the real, real question,

1818
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:25,120
Speaker 3: which we can answer coming up next. Like the Lakers

1819
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 3: had won eight of ten. The Lakers, you said earlier,

1820
01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:32,600
Speaker 3: like they have moved into a spot where this is

1821
01:51:32,680 --> 01:51:38,639
Speaker 3: a true their top five team, and then they broke

1822
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 3: it up.

1823
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if they broke it up.

1824
01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:43,040
Speaker 2: They broke it up.

1825
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:43,920
Speaker 4: Break it up, Like.

1826
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:48,880
Speaker 3: Removing one of the top two players on a team

1827
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:50,400
Speaker 3: is breaking your.

1828
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:53,639
Speaker 5: Stride, But what if you replace it with the top

1829
01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:55,520
Speaker 5: five player in the league?

1830
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:55,960
Speaker 2: Right?

1831
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,559
Speaker 3: But what you and I did this when Kyrie joined

1832
01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:01,679
Speaker 3: Luca and everybody told me they're never gonna not score

1833
01:52:01,720 --> 01:52:04,000
Speaker 3: on another possession for the rest of their lives, and

1834
01:52:04,040 --> 01:52:07,479
Speaker 3: I went, you don't snap your fingers in the NBA,

1835
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:12,439
Speaker 3: put two pieces together and have it be amazing right away.

1836
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:15,040
Speaker 2: And they went to the finals in their second year.

1837
01:52:15,120 --> 01:52:18,679
Speaker 3: But in their first half year together they went into

1838
01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:24,360
Speaker 3: the trash camp. Yeah, so like, let's get into that.

1839
01:52:24,479 --> 01:52:27,679
Speaker 3: I'd love to hear your thoughts on that coming up next,

1840
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:32,360
Speaker 3: and that's where we'll go on Fox Sports Radio. All right, man,

1841
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 3: I knew it was gonna be fun to be in

1842
01:52:33,880 --> 01:52:40,000
Speaker 3: here with you tonight, and it did not disappoint. Live

1843
01:52:40,040 --> 01:52:43,639
Speaker 3: inthetiereck dot Com Studios with e from salam Mark Willard.

1844
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:49,559
Speaker 3: I still say this though, Like I get it. I

1845
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:53,040
Speaker 3: think that the Lakers always love it when they can

1846
01:52:53,080 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 3: find their star, and when that star has a bunch

1847
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:57,759
Speaker 3: a bunch of years left in his career.

1848
01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:00,760
Speaker 2: That's a no brain or you do that.

1849
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:06,960
Speaker 3: But this idea that the Lakers just swapped one star

1850
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:09,400
Speaker 3: for another so the way they've been playing will just

1851
01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:12,600
Speaker 3: stay status quo and they're still a factor in the

1852
01:53:12,600 --> 01:53:17,160
Speaker 3: Western Conference this year, I don't buy. I don't buy.

1853
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:23,719
Speaker 3: I absolutely think they got worse for this season the Lakers.

1854
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:30,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely No, I'm not going.

1855
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:31,240
Speaker 4: To agree with that.

1856
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I get it, but to me, everybody's going

1857
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:38,160
Speaker 3: to need time to gel. You're doing that with one

1858
01:53:38,280 --> 01:53:41,160
Speaker 3: forty year old star and another who is currently hurt,

1859
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:44,799
Speaker 3: hasn't played since Christmas and isn't coming back immediately either.

1860
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:51,320
Speaker 3: Neither of them play defense anymore, one of them never did,

1861
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:54,400
Speaker 3: and so you.

1862
01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:55,719
Speaker 4: Got some valid points there.

1863
01:53:55,960 --> 01:54:02,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I don't know, man, Like if I'm Nikoli Jo,

1864
01:54:03,200 --> 01:54:07,720
Speaker 3: I am laughing my ass off at this idea like,

1865
01:54:08,600 --> 01:54:11,560
Speaker 3: what are you going to do about me in the playoffs?

1866
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 4: Well, we'll see after Thursday.

1867
01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:14,680
Speaker 2: You know.

1868
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:19,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and so obviously we reserve full judgment until then.

1869
01:54:19,760 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's how I feel right now.

1870
01:54:24,680 --> 01:54:27,040
Speaker 5: I just want to just let the the air out

1871
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:29,120
Speaker 5: of my sales at the end of it.

1872
01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:33,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you got lucaf It's not like you're going anywhere.

1873
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:41,280
Speaker 5: You got lucaf one guy. And I remember, oh, he's.

1874
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:45,840
Speaker 2: A Warrior, a Warrior fan, a Warrior fan. Can I

1875
01:54:45,880 --> 01:54:46,840
Speaker 2: share something worse?

1876
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:49,440
Speaker 4: I know who didn't I know who didn't get better

1877
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 4: this week.

1878
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:55,400
Speaker 2: Any or any day over the last year and a half.

1879
01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 2: This one's funny though.

1880
01:54:58,040 --> 01:55:01,480
Speaker 3: The only thing that's hitting on Twitter tonight about the Warriors.

1881
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:06,920
Speaker 3: Brian Windhorse wrote, Jimmy Butler has expressed to the Warriors

1882
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:10,440
Speaker 3: that he will not sign an extension there and so

1883
01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 3: that means that trade talks, at least for now, have

1884
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 3: been called off. And I don't know about y'all, but

1885
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:19,840
Speaker 3: the first thought that went through my hot mind is

1886
01:55:20,120 --> 01:55:22,960
Speaker 3: thank goodness, oh God's name, wanted to sign and do

1887
01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:28,520
Speaker 3: an extension. You're thirty five years old, You're scheduled to

1888
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:33,320
Speaker 3: make fifty two next year. You've missed a plane flight,

1889
01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:36,960
Speaker 3: walked out of a practice just in the last two weeks.

1890
01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:48,080
Speaker 2: Extension, No thanks, that one was that's man.

1891
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:50,880
Speaker 5: No, I mean sometimes people can mess up their money.

1892
01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:53,960
Speaker 5: He goes ahead of a thing.

1893
01:55:54,040 --> 01:56:00,320
Speaker 3: Man, where do you think Jimmy ends up? Because the

1894
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:07,080
Speaker 3: whole Phoenix thing, I guess. I guess depends on the

1895
01:56:07,080 --> 01:56:11,760
Speaker 3: price somebody will bite. Yeah, but somebody's whatever that bite

1896
01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:15,040
Speaker 3: is going to cost, you know, almost fifty million dollars,

1897
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:18,360
Speaker 3: you have to match it somehow, So somebody's significance got

1898
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:20,920
Speaker 3: to go out.

1899
01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:27,440

1909
01:56:57,360 --> 01:56:59,360
Speaker 3: I think Beal would go to Miami and a heartbeat,

1910
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:03,280
Speaker 3: I don't think my me wants him.

1911

1928
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:21,560
Speaker 5: better defensive coordinator, more experience. It's hard to beat that.

1929
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 5: Sakwan would have to beat all of those, and that's

1930
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:26,760
Speaker 5: hard to do.

1931
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a really good defense.

1932
01:58:29,960 --> 01:58:31,840
Speaker 5: Right, They one of the top five defenses in the

1933
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 5: league this year. So it's just not gonna be handing

1934
01:58:36,320 --> 01:58:37,800
Speaker 5: the ball off to him and he gonna rush for

1935
01:58:37,800 --> 01:58:40,000
Speaker 5: two Now, if Sakuon can rush for two hundred and

1936
01:58:40,040 --> 01:58:44,080
Speaker 5: fifty yards, they win the game. That means that means

1937
01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:48,520
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes over there watching. But if it comes down

1938
01:58:48,560 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 5: to it within the possession in the fourth quarter.

1939
01:58:52,840 --> 01:58:54,480

01:58:59,040 --> 01:58:59,520
