00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: be So. NBA free agency began on a news dump Friday.

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: No idea why. I don't know why they would do that.

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: But most of the big names are staying put. Two

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: big names will be on the move Damian Lillard, James

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: Harden and uh that's where the plot thickens with those

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: two players in particular. How's your beginning to free agency there? George?

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: You like?

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: You like what the Lake show is done, like the

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: big names, But what do you think here?

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: I could not like what the Lakers have done anymore? Oh, Lord,

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: have mercy? You added good players. The only person that

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: you lost was.

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Was did it shrewder? And you got Gabe Vincent back?

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: I mean you got Austin Reeves back at an unbelievably

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 3: cheap price. Apparently nobody knew how much he could actually make. Hey,

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: they had it wrong. They were approaching one hundred millions

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: and all of this, and yeah, this was I could

28
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: not believe that they were able to strike gold. And

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 3: I think that Rob Palinka that he did it again.

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: I hated it again. I I hate to even throw

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: this at you based on your your purple and gold

32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: you know fandom over there, you know, but I threw

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: this out there. I'm curious if you believe this or not.

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: But I look at Austin Reeves and I ask myself

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: between Austin Reeves and Draymond Green, who stayed put because

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Draymond was seeking a one hundred million dollar deal. He

37
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: got it, And like you just said, George, there were

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: reports out there that Austin Reeves might get over one

39
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars, which was not true.

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 3: He was, which which scared me because when because the

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: D'Angelo Russell signing happened first, and I was like DiAngelo

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: Russell at seventeen, Oh god, but we're not getting Austin

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: Reeves throwing in the trash, Like what the hell yeah.

44
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: And then out of nowhere here comes to Austin Reeves.

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: Day. I was say, oh, because they smart.

46
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was it.

47
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: And they're still under the salary cap.

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: South of sixty million for Austin Reeves. Not bad, not

49
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: bad at all, Sir Palinka. But I look at this

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: and I say, Okay, Austin Reeves on one hand, Draymond

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Greened on the other. Draymond obviously has the more decorated resume.

52
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: But I'm asking who is going to be the more

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: valuable signing between those two. I think it's gonna be

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves because Draymond is declining. He's not declined to

55
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: the point that he's, you know, not valuable whatsoever he is.

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: But I look over the course of those entire contracts

57
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: over the next four years, when you're looking at Draymond

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: around what thirty three, Austin Reeves twenty five, Austin Reeves sending.

59
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: Draymond Draymond Green's at twenty four. No, he's not twenty

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: four years old, million dollars. No, he's thirty three years old.

61
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Ah oh yeah, thirty three older guy. Austin Reeves twenty five.

62
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: You know, Austin Reeves on the uptick, Draymond Green on

63
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: the downslide?

64
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: Hold on, are you? Are you sure about that? Though?

65
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: What's that?

66
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: Draymond Green averaged more points than this year than he

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: has since twenty what twenty seventeen for and he shot

68
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: a better three point percentage this year than he has

69
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: since twenty sixteen. His field goal percentage is the highest

70
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: of his entire career, so is his effective field goal percentage.

71
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: His free throw percentage is good. I'm just saying, bro,

72
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: he's going here. The thing about three point shooting. That's

73
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: like soccer ratings. You know, they always do this trick

74
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: with soccer ratings. Where in this country?

75
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: Hey, the soccer ratings are up eighteen percent and it's like, well, great,

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: they were in the toilet last year. How much impressive

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: is that?

78
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Really? That's Rayond three rebounds.

79
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: His rebounds are where are the same that they've been

80
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: for four years. His assists were up, his his rebounding

81
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 3: was flat steals, flat blocks, and he's.

82
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Committing less turnovers.

83
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 3: I don't know where the decline is because he's still

84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: an excellent defender as well. So he looks like his

85
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: game is pretty flat to me. And when we saw

86
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: him in the playoffs. Who was the for for the Warriors.

87
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 3: Who was the most the best player on that team.

88
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: In the playoffs? Yep, Steph Curry.

89
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: Okay, who was the second most consistent and best player

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: on that team in the playoffs?

91
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was slim pickings there, No, it was.

92
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: It was not slim with Draymond. Draymond played well pretty

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: much the entire playoffs. He was the he was the

94
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: guy that you could count on playing playing well.

95
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but how well like that?

96
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: What do you mean he's well good defender, he was

97
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: so so and and he can against the Sacramento Kings.

98
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: He's defending the dude who just got two hundred and

99
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: seventeen million dollars and put and put him in a blender.

100
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: Well, that is true. Demonas Bonis did not have a

101
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: great series against the Warriors, and Draymond's a part of that.

102
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: There's no doubt Draymond's defense is better than Austin Reeves.

103
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 2: But after that soliloquy, I kind of like this because

104
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 2: I thought it was just purple and gold all day.

105
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: I was thinking you'd say, like Sasha Vuyach was a

106
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: better blow. I can't clarification But here's the thing. After

107
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 2: all of that, I'm projecting over the next four years,

108
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: not next year, not one year, not here, not now,

109
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: Over the next four years, who do you think is

110
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: going to be more valuable between Austin Reeves and Draymond Green.

111
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: You're asking the wrong question, though, because.

112
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: I'm asking that question. Well, I like you can switch

113
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: it around, but I'm asking.

114
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: You you question. Let me ask you. Let me explain

115
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: to you why it's a bad question, because.

116
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: How is that a bad question?

117
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm telling you.

118
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear it.

119
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: The the reason why it's a bad question is is

120
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: when you look at the stats, right, whose stats are

121
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: going to be better Austin Austin Reeves I would bet

122
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: over the next four years. I would bet my next

123
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 3: check that over the next four years, provided he stays healthy,

124
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: that statistically he is sick not even just regular better,

125
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: but significantly better than Draymond Green.

126
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: Okay, except for pride.

127
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: He won't average as many assists, but rebounds will probably

128
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: be the same. Austin Reeves instead of being at eight

129
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 3: and a half points like Draymond, will probably be somewhere

130
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: close to twenty. Right, So, so statistics wise and at

131
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves is going to be tremendously better.

132
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: But when you look at what they mean to their team.

133
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: Value, I didn't ask you whose stats would be better.

134
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: I asked you I just would be more valuable.

135
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: That's the reason why I said that the question was

136
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: a bad because it can get it can get confusing

137
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: to people when you're like, oh, who's more valuable and

138
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: then they get to pointing exactly to stats. When for

139
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors, having Draymond Green protect step guard

140
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: so many different positions at times be a score his

141
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: leadership that you can call the code red if they

142
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: need him to. His value to the Warriors is is

143
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: so freaking high that I don't think that Austin Reeves

144
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: at this point, with Anthony Davis and and Lebron James

145
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: being number one and number two most valuable people on

146
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: that team, Draymond Green is probably number two most valuable

147
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: on the Warriors.

148
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: So I would go with Draymond Green.

149
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: Okay, why was that so difficult to be more valuable

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: over the next and you had to bad mouth the question,

151
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: You had to slap the question around and then and

152
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 2: then you answered the question, who's going to be more

153
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: valuable when you did this, you turn when it came

154
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: to stats of what what the the hell was all

155
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: at about?

156
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 3: Hey, I just told you I needed to make sure

157
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: that we were on the same page.

158
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Well, yes, I'm going to go the

159
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 2: other way. I think that Draymond as he gets closer

160
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: and closer to thirty five, that benchmark, as he's approaching

161
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: forty throughout like the remainder of that contract. And let

162
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: make no mistake here, I don't want to make it

163
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: sound like I'm I don't know, just oblivious to what

164
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: Draymond has done before and what he's meant to that franchise.

165
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: I am clearly in the know as far as that goes.

166
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: Where you're talking about a four time first team All

167
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: defensive guy, four time All Star, So yeah, we know

168
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: what he means defensively and playing small ball in the

169
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: death lineup. We know all of that stuff. It's just

170
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 2: projecting where this is going, not where it has been

171
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: and where it's going. His game does not translate to

172
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: old That's the thing with Draymond Green. He does the

173
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: dirty work. He plays defense, he rebounds, he's hard nosed.

174
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: When he starts to slow down and lose a step,

175
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: which everybody does. Then what then what's he going to be?

176
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: And so that's where I look at it. Plus thirty

177
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: five Draymond. No, I don't think that's going to be

178
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: more valuable than an Austin Reeves still in his twenties

179
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: four years out from now.

180
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: Well, well you're missing a boat on this one, sir.

181
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: It's okay. No, it's okay. We we all mess up

182
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: every now and no. Okay, I'm just and that, and

183
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: you know that. I do believe that Austin Reeves is

184
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 3: going to be tremendously valuable to the Lakers. Hints my

185
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: excitement about his resigning. He is going to be a

186
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: pivotal piece in a championship next season. He is going to,

187
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: like this.

188
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: This piece in a championship next season. Did I hear

189
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: that correctly?

190
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: Yes, he will be a pivotal piece to a championship

191
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: next season.

192
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 2: Okay, is he getting traded at the deadline?

193
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't.

194
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 3: No, No for the boys in blue, no joke for

195
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: the because the boys in blue the Dodgers.

196
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: No for the Purple and gold Man.

197
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: Okay, the Lake With this roster, I don't know how

198
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: you look at this team and look in the West

199
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: and think any team has a better shot of winning

200
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: than the Lakers.

201
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: Really well wait, wait, so they pick up Gabe Vincent

202
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: and that swung everything to the Purple and Gold. Like,

203
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: what has happened exactly? Lebron's gonna be older?

204
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: You know.

205
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: There's that, So it's not just what they're gaining, they're

206
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: also losing that. What big move have they made where

207
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: it's just like, oh, this swings everything in the favor

208
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: of the Purple and Gold.

209
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: Okay, so first thing is that in addition to getting better.

210
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: Oh and then they got a backup center, Jackson Hayes,

211
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: which they needed tremendously.

212
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: They needed him and he's a good defender.

213
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 3: They so they all they did is plug their holes

214
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: and they got guys who can They have a bunch

215
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: of guys who can score, taking a lot of pressure

216
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 3: off of Lebron. They re signed Hochimra. Okay, no, what

217
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: team is better positioned to win a championship than the Lakers?

218
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: Now?

219
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: The team that just won one? They lost Bruce Brown? Okay,

220
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 2: how will they survive?

221
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: What are you kidding?

222
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown literally won them a game and you cannot

223
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: he was there were games in the playoffs where they

224
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: were playing seven people seven people, one of them not

225
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: named Reggie Jackson, and then they re signed Reggie Reggie Jackson.

226
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: So he's supposed to take Bruce Brown's role.

227
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown is getting ready to go to the Pacers

228
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: and be a star, not a superstar, but a star.

229
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: He's not gonna be a star. Settled down on book it,

230
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: bro he will he will be. He will be twenty

231
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: two points a game this season.

232
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, well, Bruce Brown, that's not a star.

233
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: By the way, that's a really good player. That's not

234
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: a star.

235
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Oh so you don't consider Jimmy Jimmy Butler a star.

236
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: Well, Jimmy Butler brings way more.

237
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: To the Oh okay, so what.

238
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown scoring fifty six in a gentleman's suitep against

239
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: my box, putting his team on his back. What happened

240
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 2: to Jammy then?

241
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: And that Jimmy Butler, it was all an right there, completelyude.

242
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: He played forty some odd minutes every single game with

243
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 3: without without a lip. He's don't give the man excuses.

244
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 3: He fell asleep. That's what Jimmy Butler does.

245
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: Bruce Brown, if you give him binoculars he couldn't see

246
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler's level. He's not even close to Jimmy.

247
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: I didn't say he was Jimmy but Butler's level. But

248
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: you just poo poo twenty two points a game.

249
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying that's not a star. I didn't pot two.

250
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: That's good.

251
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: So let's say it gets to like twenty four points

252
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: a game. See a star there? No? Oh, so you

253
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 3: don't like Jokic. Okay, so you don't like Yoki or

254
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 3: really or Jimmy. But I'm saying made a blanket statement

255
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 3: that that you can't be a star.

256
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: I didn't say superstar.

257
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: That you can't be a star in this league at

258
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: twenty two to twenty four points a game. And I'm like,

259
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: that's literally Jimmy Butler and Jokic.

260
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: That gets you to all star level. That doesn't mean

261
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: you're a star like Chris Middle. If you're an All Star.

262
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: You already star in your league.

263
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: No you're not, you're an all star.

264
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: Oh there's a.

265
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: Difference all star and star.

266
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: No, no, no, there there are there are levels to this.

267
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: There are superstars, which are which I consider in the

268
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 3: league like six to eight guys max, and then there

269
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: are stars. Your stars are guys who make All Star games.

270
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: Then after that you got good players, uh huh. And

271
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: obviously it depends on whether you are in the East

272
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: or the West, because Kyle Kyle Lowry has what like

273
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: five All Star appearances, and if he were in the West,

274
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 3: he'd have zero. And you and you have Booker who's

275
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: never been voted into a game, so you know, whereas

276
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: if he were in the East, he would have he

277
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: would be a starter. He would have been a starter

278
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: in the play in the in the All Star Game

279
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: like five times already.

280
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go down the list of stars here.

281
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: According to you, George Lowry markinen star.

282
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: Uh he he's an All Star.

283
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: According to you, an all Star is a star.

284
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: He was an All Star this year, so so uh

285
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: this is the year that he officially became a star.

286
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so All Star, equal Star, Julius randall Star.

287
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still top it. He's he is an NBA star, dude.

288
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: He's the second best player in the best media market.

289
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: Well yeah, in New York City. He can't walk around

290
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: without everybody knowing who he is. And he's twenty twenty

291
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: four and ten not he's a star.

292
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: He is a star.

293
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: No, he is not. Did you see the star Julius

294
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: Randall in the playoffs?

295
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Did you did you see the star? Uh?

296
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 3: Jimmy Jimmy Butler passed the past the first round in

297
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

298
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: No, dude, he fell asleep.

299
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: I saw him against the Knicks. He was good in

300
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: that series also, And you can't tell me he was

301
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: asleep at the wheel the whole time against the Celtics

302
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 2: either in the Eastern Conference Final. You are off to it.

317
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to a couple of tweets here in

318
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: a second, George, where I don't know if this is

319
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: your burner account or not. But first we're gonna stay

320
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: on track here with a couple of the big names

321
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: that are soon to be on the move most likely

322
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: and where would they end up. You got Damian Lillard,

323
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: who finally requested a trade out of Portland, and James

324
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: Harden who opted in but will be he's a sign

325
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 2: and trade candidate, so he's going elsewhere. I'll start with

326
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: Dame because I think he's the bigger difference maker on

327
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: his next team with him saying yeah, I would like

328
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 2: to be moved, and specifically to the Miami Heat. Vincent

329
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: Goodwill of Yahoo Sports reported the only two teams on

330
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 2: Dame's wish list are the Heat and the Nets, and

331
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: they're gonna be other teams interested in his services. I'm

332
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: actually happy for him, George, because he wants to compete

333
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: for a championship and the Blazers their roster is not

334
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: a title contender right now. They're just in two completely

335
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: different stages. Dame is in let's go for it mode

336
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: right now and the Blazers are like, we're just not

337
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 2: quite there right now. So I think when two different stages,

338
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: it's best for both parties if Dame has moved and

339
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 2: that's going to be what they're going to try to

340
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: work out here.

341
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: So there are two parts to this Dame story.

342
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: The standoff between him and the franchise to see who

343
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: was gonna break up first, Yeah, what's funny because you're like, Odo, bro,

344
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: you know that you made He's made statements. I don't

345
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: want to play with a nineteen year old see what

346
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 3: moves they make.

347
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: All this stuff.

348
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: But it's like, I'm not saying it's not unreasonable, because

349
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: it definitely is. But then in not requesting a trade,

350
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: they both didn't want to look bad and Dame finally

351
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 3: ended up having to do it, which and you know

352
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: part of the reason why he didn't want to do

353
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 3: it right.

354
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: Well, he said for numerous times that he wants to

355
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: remain with Portland, he wants to win a championship there,

356
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: he's loyal to the soil.

357
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, that the whole loyal to the soil thing.

358
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: And most importantly how much he criticized guys like Paul

359
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 3: George for quote unquote ring chasing and all of this stuff. Bro,

360
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: I can't after he gets traded, I can't wait for

361
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: the Patrick. And I'm a deemed guy and I'm a

362
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: dame guy, but I'm also here for all the comedy,

363
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 3: for all the comedy, and what Patrick and every other

364
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 3: and and Paul George and every other player that he

365
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: criticized about that, Yeah, what they are going to tweet

366
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: is going to be hilarious and it would be deserved.

367
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: And because if I'm be like, oh, oh so now

368
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 3: you get it?

369
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Huh so now you finally get it now?

370
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: All right, that's valid. That part of it is certainly true.

371
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 2: If you're saying, no, I'm not with that. I have

372
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: so many Damian Lillard soundbites it's ridiculous. I would play

373
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: you some audio if I could find it. They're about

374
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: nine hundred dame buits. Yeah, yes, goodness, but yeah, he

375
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: has said that numerous times before, and you're right, you're

376
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 2: completely right about that. There will be some humorous tweets.

377
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: I'm there might be some right now, but certainly when

378
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: he lands somewhere else. Yeah, I think there'll be a

379
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: lot of players that have something to say about that.

380
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: Yes, oh yeah, they are gonna absolutely have something to say.

381
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: And it's deservingly so. So I'm not mad, but it

382
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: is funny, though I am. I am all in on it.

383
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: I am here for all the jokes. That doesn't mean

384
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: I don't sort of support name and believe that he

385
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: was telling the truth. But I also knew and said

386
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: that he was gonna grow tired of it because port

387
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: Portland has a problem.

388
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: Well with that, that's the part of it. Well tell

389
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: us the problem though, real fast.

390
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 3: Is that Portland is one of these cities that has

391
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: to draft right great players.

392
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: That's why they got to move Dame. You have to

393
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: move Dame to get a haul of draft picks.

394
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, because because they have to draft great players and

395
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: then keep them there. Kind of like and and granted

396
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: I love the city of Portland, so this is not

397
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: any disparagement of the city, but it's kind of like

398
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: a franchise like the Pacers or the Sacramento Kings, where

399
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 3: you're like and it ain't exactly hot bed for free agents, right,

400
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 3: But at the same time, if you can draft great players,

401
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: I mean my mind you Golden Golden State wouldn't exactly

402
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: a free agent even though it was in San Francisco.

403
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: People weren't jumping up and down to get to get

404
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 3: to Golden State. But it's one of those if you

405
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: build it, they will come. If you have two great

406
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: players there and people are like, Ooh, I can win

407
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: a chip and be a major contributor and make money.

408
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: All of this stuff. Sign me up.

409
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 3: Because players, as they get a little bit older, they

410
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: do want to win, and when you do win, you

411
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 3: get a chance to make more money. In the NBA specifically,

412
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 3: look at Bruce Brown. He was a contributor and people

413
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: saw potential because of because people in the front office

414
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: of all other twenty nine teams got a chance to

415
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: see more of him, even though he was already going

416
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 3: to be a sought after free agent, but they got

417
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: a chance to see him. They got a chance to

418
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: see him in clutch moments, in big moments, the decision making,

419
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 3: the aggressiveness, and that makes people willing to take a

420
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 3: chance on you.

421
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 2: Well, the thing with Dame is that I don't have

422
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: any problem with him changing his tune. I think it's

423
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: the smartest thing for him to do is to move

424
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: on from the Blazers because he's in his prime still

425
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: and he's not going to be there for much longer.

426
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: He's what, right around thirty three years old, so it

427
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: makes sense to move on and go somewhere else where

428
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: he's got a better chance to compete for a championship,

429
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: and it would be fine. I don't think anyone would

430
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: be looking at him sideways if he had just talked

431
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: about him the whole time. Right if he said, now,

432
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: I want to win a championship with Portland. If I

433
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: win it here, it'd be more meaningful than anywhere else.

434
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: I can live with it. If I don't. If it's

435
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: just him, him, him, that's fine. But if you make

436
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: it beyond yourself and your com I'm in on this

437
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 2: guy going there, this guy ring chasing. Now, all of

438
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 2: a sudden, when you change your tune, those people are

439
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: gonna be looking at you sideways. That's where it changes

440
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: right there. If it was just him, that's one thing.

441
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 2: But it wasn't throughout the years.

442
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: Oh yep, yep.

443
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 3: And players are always going to I mean, this is

444
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: not even players, this is just people in general. When

445
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 3: you when you throw stones, you better not live in

446
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: a glass house on the back.

447
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: End, Yeah yeah, and.

448
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 3: You better be flawless otherwise you're gonna have to take

449
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: the heat.

450
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: Now.

451
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 3: Do I believe that Dame can take the heat? Absolutely,

452
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 3: but you do have to sit there and own it

453
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: and listen to the noise though a little bit.

454
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he will, he will. You know, Dame can

455
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 2: take it. But you're right, there's gonna be a couple

456
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: of interesting tweets being fired off in the not too

457
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: distant future. I just wonder where he ends up. Where

458
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: is Dame gonna end up? Because it if Miami has

459
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: a trade package that doesn't appease the Blazers, they have

460
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: no obligation to specifically trade him to Miami. You gotta

461
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: trade him wherever you get the best haul. I know

462
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: you want to do right by Dame, but you gotta

463
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 2: look at out from one.

464
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: First, what is Dame going to do?

465
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: Show up and not play for four years? Two hundred

466
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: and seventeen million dollars?

467
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: Right now?

468
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: I would try to trade him to Miami, however, though,

469
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: I mean Miami at least has what I mean, if

470
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: we're if we're being honest, what does Miami have that

471
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 3: you want that you can actually get because.

472
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 2: They might not be ecstatic about Tyler Hero.

473
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 3: So what what I'm saying is that is that you

474
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 3: can't get Bam and you can't get what's his name? Oh,

475
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 3: and you can't get Jimmy Jimmy Butler.

476
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: So like, I like, exactly going back to the first segment,

477
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: what you have to say about Jimmy b Okay, right, all.

478
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 3: Right, no, dude, dude, on my show this week, we

479
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 3: were we were talking about something and for some reason,

480
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: I was naming Cowboys players and I could not name

481
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: their quarterback in the nineties. I was like, yo, I

482
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: named every single player on the team, and I was like, bro, what.

483
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: Is the quarterback?

484
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: If you had given me a million dollars to name it,

485
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: I would not have won a dollar.

486
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 2: You're talking akman or yes? Oh okay, well what happens

487
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: sometimes you have a brain freeze?

488
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: Yeah I don't know what, yeah, exactly. So that was

489
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: a little Jimmy Butler quirk right there. There was no disparagement.

490
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: There was that was no shade at all.

491
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: Okay, why hear you? It's like Okay, So if Jimmy

492
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: B's untouchable and BAM's untouchable, and we get what Tyler

493
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: Hero and some draft.

494
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: Caleb Martin and some draft picks, their best bet may

495
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: be a three team trade.

496
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: And that's rebaly what's going to happen.

497
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, the way, then they can get another player involved

498
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 3: in it to like entice Portland a little bit more.

499
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: I think there's a better train. But it's probably going

500
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: to be a three or even a four team trade

501
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: more so than a like a standard two teamer. I

502
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: think that's most likely what's.

503
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: Going But look at the but look at the Brooklyn

504
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: Nets trade. What do to Brooklyn? Dude, they're not going

505
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: to give up Michale Bridges first and foremost.

506
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: Because and if you're dame.

507
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: You if yeah right, yeah.

508
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 3: Because if they give up Michale Bridges and Cam Johnson.

509
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, he's in the same position that he wass Yeah.

510
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Alli is just is just is just swapping weather. Yeah,

00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 3: his you know, extended family, which a lot of them

513
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 3: have moved up to Portland, like Portland is their home base.

514
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: Now, well, you and I George, we're moving closer to

00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 2: Years?

533
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

534
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: And I'm and and sometimes my wife will say, yo,

535
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: do you still up?

536
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: When when she's on my nerves, she'll be like.

537
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: Yo, do you still love love me? Like I'm still

538
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: I'm still here, aren't I.

539
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: That's the worst. That's the worst.

540
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: No. I mean but but but she knows me. I

541
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: don't be anywhere. I don't want to be right.

542
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: No, I get that. I get that too.

543
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 5: But I do have to say something you, Brian, about

544
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 5: what you just said about Damian Lillard and the Blazers.

545
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: What if they changed their tune on him, and so.

546
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 4: He had to change his tune.

547
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 5: I just I don't like that the Blazers made him

548
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 5: be the one that requested the trade. I feel like

549
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 5: the Blazers should have done it. He's been there, he's

550
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 5: been you know, honorable with them and like loyal and

551
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 5: all that, and.

552
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: I just don't like that he had to request the trade.

553
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 5: And so it's like, what if the conversations just changed

554
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 5: behind closed doors?

555
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: How could it?

556
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Though?

557
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 4: From the what if this.

558
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 5: Entire time they're like, hey, Dane, we're gonna do something.

559
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 5: We're gonna get you, We're gonna do whatever we can

560
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 5: to build a team around you. And even maybe after

561
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 5: getting scooed Henderson, they were like, no, no, no, we still

562
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: want to do this.

563
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: And then maybe they were like, you know what, actually,

564
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 4: we don't want to do this with you anymore.

565
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: Well, they would say they said it publicly that they're

566
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: committed to building around Dane, right, but publicly they know

567
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: it's not good enough, like three years from now, it's

568
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: go time now.

569
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 4: Right, So it was kind of stupid to say that.

570
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 2: Well, they just don't have the firepower to reasonably compete

571
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: for a championship right now. So it's just lip service.

572
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I guess that's what I'm saying, that it's

573
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 5: lip service, maybe even on both ends. But you know,

574
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 5: I just to me, I'm like, Blazers, you should have

575
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 5: you should have asked for the divorce, not him. You

576
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 5: should have done it, not made him do it. That's

577
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: all I'm saying.

578
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: I hear you.

579
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 4: You know what you that's yeah.

580
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 5: But let's talk about the NBA and the moves that

581
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 5: are happening today. Lonnie Walker has agreed to a one

582
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 5: year deal with the Brooklyn Nets. While Eric Gordon, former

583
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 5: Clipper and then came back to be a Clipper, He's

584
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 5: had it to be with the Suns. Apparently there were

585
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 5: other lucrative offers from the Warriors and the Bucks, and

586
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 5: even a reunion with the Rockets was on the table,

587
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 5: but he chose Phoenix to be able to play with Katie,

588
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 5: Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Apparently, there's still no details

589
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 5: that I can find on the terms of the deal.

590
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 4: Yet for Eric Gordon and the Suns.

591
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 5: The Bulls have applied to the NBA for a disabled

592
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 5: player exception worth ten point two million because of Lonzo

593
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 5: Ball's injury. He is expected to miss the entire upcoming

594
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 5: season in Major League Baseball.

595
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 4: Your Cardinals one.

596
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh that's good, but.

597
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 4: You would be you didn't bet on them.

598
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: There's a story behind that.

599
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 6: Oh I okay, right, well, your Cardinals did beat the

600
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 6: Yankees at home. Five to one was the final score,

601
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 6: and the Astros were down, but they ended up coming

602
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 6: back and beating the Rangers five to three. Currently going on,

603
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 6: it's the Tigers all over the Rockies. It all started

604
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 6: with a grand slam by jier Baiaz, his eighth career

605
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 6: grand slam, and the Tigers have not looked back.

606
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 4: They're beating the Rockies fourteen to six.

607
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 5: They're about to start the bottom of the eighth inning

608
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 5: in Colorado. Angels up on the Diamondbacks four to two.

609
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 5: Bottom of the six in La White Sox beating the

610
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 5: A's five to two. They're about to start the fifth

611
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 5: inning in Oakland and the Rays. They're beating the Mariners

612
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 5: six to five, bottom of the fifth inning. And it

613
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 5: was mister Ricky Fowler who won the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

614
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 5: It was a three way tie. Originally it went to playoff.

615
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,800

Speaker 2: about two and a half hours each way, and it

626
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: gets rained out. It gets rained out, and so I'm like, okay, cool,

627
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: So what happens do I just get my money back

628
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: from the tickets? And the place stub Hub was like, no,

629
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: you gotta like sell your tickets because they're good for

630
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: the next night. And I'm like, well, my dad and

631
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: his wife can't make it, and they're like, we don't

632
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: know what to tell you. So I put all the

633
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 2: tickets online to resell them. But it's a split double header, right,

634
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 2: they played two games last night. Our tickets would have

635
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 2: been good for the evening game and they didn't sell.

636
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: So I bought tickets to a game that we didn't see.

637
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: We went to the game on Friday stood where our

638
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: seats were they ever started and that was that. So

639
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 2: that was that was a disaster.

640
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, see that sucks, dude, But at least you did

641
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 3: have a chance to get to get rid.

642
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: Of them though. But it is.

643
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: But it does suck that you don't that thing when

644
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 3: when your sports plans get thrown off.

645
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and look, man, it was a split doubleheader. There

646
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: are a lot of the attendance was not good at

647
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: all for the evening game last night, and the other

648
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: part the weather was supposed to be terrible. Like my

649
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: girl and I would think it, do we drive down

650
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: there again and then get rained out again? And we're like, eh,

651
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: we'll put the tickets online. It looks like it's gonna rain.

652
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they're gonna get the game in.

653
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: And they got the game in fine in the evening.

654
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: I don't think they had any delays. It's crazy, but yeah,

655
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: it did not work out. Did not work out well

656
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: at all. So hey man, that's sometimes the way it goes.

657
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 2: But we're gonna rally over here. I know just the

684
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks or Russell Westbrooks.

685
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, I can't and I can't. Dylan Brooks

686
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 5: is literally laughing at the Grizzlies as he heads to

687
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 5: the bank, and I'm laughing at the Houston Rockets.

688
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 4: For the record, I don't like Brooks. I think everyone

689
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 4: knows that I don't like him.

690
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 5: He's all talk, no action, especially when it came to

691
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 5: that playoff series against the Lakers. Couldn't have poked the

692
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 5: worst you know player, not worst player as in Lebron

693
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 5: James sucks, as in just the worst player to poke,

694
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 5: the worst franchise to poke.

695
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 4: And then he doesn't even speak to.

696
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 5: The media after, like, come on, my dude, if you

697
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 5: aren't gonna dish it, you gotta.

698
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 4: Be able to take it. And that's when it comes

699
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: to everything.

700
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 5: But instead it looks like, really, the joke is on

701
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 5: Memphis in a sense, but the joke is on Houston

702
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 5: for me.

703
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: He's about to make twenty million a year for four years?

704
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 4: Is that? Am I crazy to think that that's crazy?

705
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 4: Who would give him that much money?

706
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 2: Never?

707
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 5: Never would I have thought that somebody would give this

708
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 5: man that much money.

709
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 4: The same man who hit Lebron James and Donovan.

710
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 5: Mitchell in the groin and doesn't know how to own

711
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 5: his ish is getting eighty million dollars over four years.

712
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 5: Absolutely ridiculous. And then Russell Westbrook making eight million over

713
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 5: two years, not even eight million, I guess some one

714
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 5: point nine with the Clippers, and the only people I

715
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: can blame for this the Lakers.

716
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? Lakers? You and Lebron James and

717
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 4: all of your.

718
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 5: People talking about Westbrook when he was on a team

719
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 5: that did.

720
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 4: Not fit for him.

721
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 5: You guys try to force him to the bench, called

722
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 5: them a vampire. It was this whole thing, and then

723
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 5: because of that, his worth significantly dropped. There is no way,

724
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 5: no way, in any world, no that Dylan Brooks is

725
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 5: making twenty million a year and Westbrook is gonna make

726
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 5: about four million a year. Absolutely not. Everybody's aws their mind.

727
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 9: According to Monsi, what is the.

728
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: That Joey Chestnut?

729
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 3: According to Mansi, Joey Chestnut is one in that one

730
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 3: hundred percent.

731
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 4: Today with somebody said he was and I was like,

732
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 4: absolutely not. Are you guys insane?

733
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 5: Can you eat one hundred and eighty two chicken wings

734
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 5: in thirty minutes.

735
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 4: Can you eat seventy six hot dogs and buns in

736
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: ten minutes? No, No, you cannot. This is a skill.

737
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 5: This is something that he actually has to train and

738
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 5: practice for.

739
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 4: And the fact that he is so thin for.

740
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 5: How much he can eat, it only goes to show

741
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 5: that he puts in the work.

742
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 4: He has a skill that none of us can do.

743
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 4: I don't think any of us together.

744
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 5: Even if we put all five of us together, I

745
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 5: don't know if we could eat one hundred and eighty

746
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 5: two chicken wings and thirty minutes. So no, Joey Chestnut

747
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 5: one hundred percent an athlete, according to Mansi.

748
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,720
Speaker 2: According to Manci, online ticket sales are the worst.

749
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna shoot someone if I have to buy another

750
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 5: ticket online because it is ridiculous. You're on it for

751
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 5: seven hours, and then you might not even get the ticket,

752
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 5: and then you have to buy it off of a

753
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 5: third party who's selling it for five times the original price.

754
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 4: What happened to if you wanted them? If you wanted

755
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 4: a pair of Jordan's, what did you have to do?

756
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 4: You went early and you got in line.

757
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 3: Go back to that, I get in line like remember.

758
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 4: When you used to want Jordan's back in the day.

759
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: If you want, no, I didn't get in line. I

760
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: didn't have money. I did not have Jordan money. I

761
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: didn't get my first pair of Jordan until I was

762
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: a grown up.

763
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 4: Well, no, me too, But I still had to wait

764
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 4: in line.

765
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: I had to you. I don't. I don't wait in line.

766
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 4: Okay, well listen now you're flexing, but no.

767
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: Personal joint. No, I don't really wait in line.

768
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 4: Okay, that's what a nice little life you have. But

769
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 4: my point is online.

770
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 5: If you try to buy tickets right now for like

771
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 5: a concert, If you try to buy tickets for an

772
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 5: event and it's a big event, that virtual que is

773
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 5: driving me nuts, especially because I will wait seven hours

774
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 5: and then you tell me you're out of tickets.

775
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 4: So then what am I? What am I? What am

776
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 4: I doing? What are we doing?

777
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 10: It?

778
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: He'll be out.

779
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: My mansi is you need to make sure that you

780
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 3: get make sure that you find out which credit cards

781
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 3: are best.

782
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 4: Even with that.

783
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: Even with the American Express pre sale, it's either it

784
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 5: sells out too fast or like you're still waiting and

785
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 5: then like.

786
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 4: You don't get the options that you want. It's just

787
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 4: a mess, and.

788
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 5: I rather get up at five am and go wait

789
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 5: in line and get what I'm mesh.

790
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 3: Well, Jos, worse than that, Manzi, if we're being honest,

791
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 3: is the ticket fee?

792
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, no, no, yeah.

793
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 3: That's where I thought you were going with this at first,

794
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 3: that that should be a crime.

795
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 6: If I didn't have to wait seven hours, I wouldn't

796
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 6: be so mad about the fees.

797
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 4: But you're right about those fees though. It's more worth

798
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 4: more than the ticket, and that's how they tell you.

799
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 4: They're like, oh, the ticket's only.

800
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 5: Sixty nine dollars, but the fees are two thousand.

801
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 4: Are you in it? Are you in it to win it?

802
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 4: I hate it? I hate it.

803
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

804
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 2: I try to rese sell tickets after the Cardinals game

805
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 2: got rained out on Friday, and it's like, I'm not

806
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: gonna make my money back, all the money I spent

807
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 2: in Texas. I know I'm still looking at a loss

808
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: no matter how it comes out. That's brutal, okay I

824
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: from time to time, but we move on from the

825
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 2: agreements real fast, and then we just stick on something

826
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 2: we disagree about, you know, and then we just keep going, go,

827
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 2: go go. That's how we get down, you know. But

828
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 2: we were talking about isn't all star a star? Because

829
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: what kind of.

830
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 3: Nonsense is the is a is a is a not?

831
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: Is an all star superstar?

832
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 6: No?

833
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: Not necessarily, but is an all stars star? Absolutely? That's

834
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 3: where you get star star level.

835
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 2: Now this was based on you. So let's let's let's

836
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: rewind for a second, you were trumpeting the Purple and Gold,

837
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: and we will get to that because they have had

838
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 2: a really good off season. And you talked about the

839
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 2: Lakers offseason being so strong you have them as the

840
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: favorites to win the championship, and I said, whoa, whoa, whoa,

841
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 2: what about Denver? They lost Bruce Brown, granted, And then

842
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: you were waxing poetic about Bruce Brown, who's now with

843
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 2: the Indiana Basers, and you said he's going to be

844
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: a star, and I pushed back, and that's how we

845
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 2: got onto this whole discussion. Is a star uh play?

846
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: Is an All Star? A star player? And so our guy,

847
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: the missing link on Twitter, he agrees with you. He

848
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 2: says a player that makes the All Star team is

849
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 2: considered a star. George Reister is correct. Now, there was

850
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: not you know, like the crying laughing emoji at the

851
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: end to let me know that he's kidding around.

852
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,600
Speaker 1: No, he's not kidding around, bro.

853
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: He's being serious, which is crazy. Okay, So I'll throw

854
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: a couple of names at you.

855
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: We should tweet out a poll about that one, because

856
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 3: it's it's common sense. No, no, if you make it

857
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 3: an All Star game, you are a star.

858
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: No you're not. No, you're not. I'll throw out a

859
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: few names at you. Okay, Okay, you tell me if

860
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 2: this is a star or not.

861
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: Jared Allen, clearly he was a star for making an

862
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: All Star game. He's not a star.

863
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 2: He made the All Star team two seasons ago, not

864
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 2: this past season, but before that, twenty twenty one, twenty two.

865
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 2: He's an All Star that is not a star player.

866
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 2: Even better, the season prior, Nikola Vusovich star he just

867
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: re upped with the Bulls star. Okay, that's a signing

868
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 2: of a star right there. No, it's not that same season,

869
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons made the All Star team.

870
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, hold on, Ben Simmons also made All NBA,

871
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 3: So so you cannot there's nothing that you can say

872
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 3: about a dude who made All NBA so for aside

873
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 3: from I don't like him and i'm and I've never

874
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 3: and I was never on the Ben Simmons train, but

875
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 3: you cannot say the dude was not a star in

876
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 3: the league. When you make an All NBA team that

877
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,439
Speaker 3: that you have, you have lost. You will lose all

878
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 3: credibility and people will be like, no, no, has just

879
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 3: it has just let his feelings get in the way

880
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 3: of common sense.

881
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so we should refer to Ben Simmons because we're

882
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 2: two seasons removed here, we referred to him, no, former

883
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: star Ben Simmons.

884
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 3: You you have to remember, is that the great text

885
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 3: winner said the inventor of the triangle offense.

886
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: Huh.

887
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 3: That you are only great in the moment that you

888
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 3: do something great. That you have to continue doing great

889
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 3: things so to to be great. Ben Simmons is no

890
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: longer a star.

891
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: He was a star. He had like fifteen minutes of

892
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: star fan.

893
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so Jared away, we refer to him going forwards,

894
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 2: former star Ben Simmons, just so we're all on the

895
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 2: same page, right, That's how I.

896
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 3: Don't don't I don't think that's the I mean, I

897
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 3: get once he's once, once he's retired, you would say

898
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: former NBA star Ben Simmons.

899
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, that would be the fitting way to refer

900
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: to Ben.

901
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 3: You wouldn't just say, like, oh six, your NBA veteran

902
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 3: Ben Simmons, or or or you would call him former

903
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 3: all NBA center, Bubb's point guard, center person.

904
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: Of Ben Ben Simmons.

905
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you do have to acknowledge his accolades regardless

906
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 3: of whether.

907
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 1: You like him or not.

908
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I've never thought that Kyl Lawry is is

909
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 3: that type of guy compared to some of the people

910
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 3: in the West who didn't make All Star games.

911
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: That's the whole point though.

912
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 3: However, however, you cannot discount the man's credentials.

913
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: He's a what five time All Star?

914
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: Ben's which can't take Lowry? Yes, you're on Lowry now, Well,

915
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 2: that's the thing is, look Ben Simmons the way, if

916
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: you want to be technical, you could say former All Star.

917
00:45:56,120 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 2: That is technically true. If you say former star, you

918
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: are going to get laughed at because that's not him.

919
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: That's not what he's known as. He If I came

920
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: on the airwaves and just say former star Ben Simmons,

921
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: I get way more pushback of like, what are you

922
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 2: talking about right now? The guy that was afraid to

923
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: dunk it against the the Hawks and he passed. He

924
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: passed up a dunk. That's what he's known for. He's

925
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 2: his teammate Joe l Embiid after that game crushing him,

926
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 2: his head coach Doc Rivers after that game crushing it.

927
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: He's more known for disappointment than being known as a star.

928
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: That's the whole point. Just because you're an All Star

929
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you've reached this rarefied air of star status.

930
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 2: Lowry Markinen was an All Star this past season. He's

931
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 2: not known as a star. He's a really good player.

932
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 2: So no, all star does not equal branded star. Sorry,

933
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 2: that is not the way it works.

934
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 3: Listen, listen. No you can argue what you pastor about

935
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 3: the one you are one wrong. I am, I the

936
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 3: the the Internet's telling you. I'm telling you. It is

937
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 3: clear as day. You can and and I've had to

938
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 3: learn this about things.

939
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: Is that.

940
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 3: Is that just just because I don't necessarily, you know,

941
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 3: subscribe to the star value of a of a of

942
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 3: a player, that doesn't mean that they are not a star. However,

943
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,959
Speaker 3: I do get to determine the difference between a star

944
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 3: and a superstar because superstar gets thrown around and when

945
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 3: people may be like, oh Kyle, Kyle Lowry, or or

946
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 3: they will say, you know, Bam out of Bayo superstar.

947
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 3: There's nothing superstar about Bam out of Bayo. Is he

948
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: a really good player? Absolutely? See an All NBA player.

949
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: Yep.

950
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 3: On defense too, there's a difference between superstars and stars.

951
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 3: Jimmy Jimmy Butler not a superstar. Fantastic player, not a superstar.

952
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 3: The the list of NBA superstars is short. It is

953
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 3: a shake shake Gilders Alexander not a superstar yet he's

954
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,280
Speaker 3: stepping into superstar tim He's got a legitimate chance.

955
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: But we're but we're talking.

956
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 3: About Steph, Kevin Durant, Lebron, Joel Embiid now that he's

957
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 3: an m v P. Jokic, clearly superstar. Luka don chicks.

958
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving, whoa whoa K? Kyrie Irvings one of seventy

959
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 3: five great best basketball players.

960
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: Of all time?

961
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: Superstar right now?

962
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: Yes, no, what are you talking about? Did you watch

963
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: him play in Dallas, Jah? Did?

964
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 3: He's one of the five best, one of the three

965
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 3: best point guards in the league right now.

966
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 2: Look, I'm just saying, I'm not gonna doubt it, Kyrie Irving.

967
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving is a magnificent player.

968
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 3: Say you cannot like him all you want to, but

969
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 3: you put him.

970
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: On that court.

971
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 3: Fin now, you are going to be hard pressed to

972
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 3: find anybody calder not named step curR.

973
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: But that's the thing is, if you're looking at true superstars,

974
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: they elevate and that's not what Kyrie Irving does. Kyrie

975
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: Irving is one of the best dribblers, maybe the best

976
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 2: dribbler in the history of the NBA. He's an outstanding finisher.

977
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: That guy's game is beautiful. Please don't get that twisted.

978
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 2: But a superstar when it's about him, it's Kaimie. It's

979
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving. First team. Second, he's not a defensive guy whatsoever. No,

980
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,920
Speaker 2: if you have like some people have Dame as not

981
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: a superstar like that, I don't get that. What is

982
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: the main difference between Yeah, what is the main difference

983
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 2: between Dame and Kyrie Irving? Because Dame wasn't on.

984
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: Your high Kyrie's done it in the finals and has

985
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: a championship.

986
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 2: He did He is that big shot in Game seven

987
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 2: when Lebron.

988
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 3: Was his cobe, not just a big shot, but the

989
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 3: game prior to that, he put up forty one They

990
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 3: bank it.

991
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so right, But who is who's the Lebron for Dame?

992
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 2: Exactly in his career he hasn't had one anyone close.

993
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 3: But to that, Kyrie has put up the same level

994
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 3: of u of tough to guard, impossible to stop again

995
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 3: in Boston.

996
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: He did it in and he wrecked that that franchise, Like,

997
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: oh solo, look at them, look at what they did

998
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 2: once he left.

999
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: He did it.

1000
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that Kyrie Irving does not have

1001
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 3: any blame in these situations, because he absolutely does.

1002
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 2: What happened to Boston, what happened with the nets. Come on, man,

1003
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 2: it's not just people.

1004
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 3: Talking about too like trying to diminish his greatness with

1005
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 3: or not put them into Hall of Fame first ballot.

1006
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: They're like, oh t o team obliterator.

1007
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 3: Man, this dude is one of the best dudes to

1008
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 3: ever best wide receivers to tie up shoes, one of

1009
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 3: the five best wide receivers that ever tie up shoes,

1010
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 3: and we're debating about putting them into Hall of Fame

1011
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 3: in the.

1012
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: First first ballot.

1013
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 3: Dude, the like the greatness is not defined by how

1014
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 3: likable that you are, by how I mean other otherwise,

1015
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 3: the Walter Payton manner of the year should be, you know,

1016
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: considered great every year.

1017
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,720
Speaker 2: Well, look, I never had too on what you're talking about,

1018
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 2: and I understand the comparison there, But as far as

1019
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 2: Kyrie goes, there are a lot of people that just

1020
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 2: look at it from the I don't know, like the

1021
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: point of view of stats. It's not just about that,

1022
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: it's what else do you bring to the tape? Do

1023
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 2: you help the team or are you a hurdle that

1024
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 2: they have to jump over? And Kyrie more times than

1025
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 2: not in his career, he has been a hurdle. He

1026
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 2: has been a roadblock in terms of does he help the

1027
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 2: team or get in the way. He got in the

1028
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 2: way in Boston, he got in the way in Brooklyn.

1029
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he put up numbers in Dallas and they

1030
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 2: sunk like a rock because he doesn't play defense right Like, No,

1031
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 2: I don't have him at superstar status. He is a brilliant,

1032
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 2: beautiful basketball player, but I do not have him at

1033
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: superstar status. Sorry, you're the one who has this short

1034
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: list of what you do think is a superstar and

1035
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: what you don't. I'm surprised you had that on the list.

1036
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 3: Hey man, just listen. My list is consistent. It doesn't change.

1037
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: We are home.

1038
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 3: It's one of those it is what it is.

1039
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: It is.

1040
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 2: It is you have an expansive superstar list, and you

1041
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 2: have way too expansive of a star list. If you've

1042
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 2: got any all star deemed a star player. Like, there's

1043
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: a difference between really really good and star.

1044
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 6: Like.

1045
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Laurie Markinen, he falls into really really good category.

1046
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 2: He is not a star, not yet, Tyrese Haliburton with

1047
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 2: the Pacers, he just re upped huge extension. George, would

1048
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 2: you consider him a star? He's an all star, He's

1049
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 2: a star. He's a star player.

1050
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 3: Yes, he's absolutely a star player. I just he is

1051
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 3: not a He is not a superstar. He is absolutely

1052
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 3: a star, a star player.

1053
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 2: By the way, we can agree this.

1054
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: There's a there's a reason why he's a max guy.

1055
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 2: We can agree on one superstar show. Hey, o Tani,

1056
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 2: different sport, but he just hit a solo home run

1057
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty four feet. That dude is from

1058
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 2: another planet. What he's doing, My goodness, higher than I

1059
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 2: would say like Nicola Vucevich or Ben Simmons. You know,

1060
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: it's a star and another level.

1061
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 3: No, he's a super sh I know, I know, global superstar,

1062
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 3: which is even higher than a superstar.

1063
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 2: He's crazy. He's the superstar in baseball right now. All right,

1064
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to coming up next. Goodness, George,

1065
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 2: you might not yell at me more for another sports

1066
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 2: opinion that I have, but we'll try it on for size.

1067
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: Right around the corner. I'm Brian No. He's George Reister.

1068
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 2: Keep it locked right here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm

1069
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 2: Brian No. He's George Reister. Here on Fox Sports Radio.

1070
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 2: We're coming to you live from the tire Rack dot

1071
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: Com studios and want to welcome in FSR NFL insider

1072
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan. And it's gosh, it's turned into a tradition

1073
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 2: here cap before we get to all the NFL stuff.

1074
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 2: What non NFL sports content are you consuming today?

1075
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: Oh, no doubt.

1076
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,320
Speaker 2: NBA free agency.

1077
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 7: It's I'm an NBA guy anyway, so I'm enjoying it.

1078
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 2: It's completely different from the NFL.

1079
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 7: It's the contracts are much bigger because you have fewer

1080
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 7: players that you're dealing with and fewer players on the roster,

1081
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 7: so teams obviously pay two or three stars a good

1082
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 7: amount of money. And the contracts trucker is completely different,

1083
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 7: where most NBA veterans get fully guaranteed contracts and as

1084
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 7: you know, the NFL it's we don't have that. So

1085
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 7: there's a major difference. But I'm fascinated about the money.

1086
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 7: And also this is a real good cross over here.

1087
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 7: How much leverage NBA players a versus the NFL players

1088
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 7: who don't have a lot.

1089
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 2: Are you hoping for Damian Lillard in Philly over there?

1090
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: Adam?

1091
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 7: You know, I you know what, I've always been a

1092
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 7: fan of his. I don't blame him for not winning

1093
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 7: a lot there. They just never really supported him or

1094
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 7: surround him with enough talent. I just want I want

1095
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 7: hard to be moved. This is a guy that there's

1096
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 7: a reason why I keeps bouncing around. Guy looking at

1097
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 7: a great season, no doubt about it. You have to

1098
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 7: be careful in professional sports. There's a shelflet for players

1099
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 7: thirty three years old. When you start bringing in or

1100
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 7: paying older players a lot of money, you worry about

1101
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 7: these things. And the Sixers got away with it. If

1102
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 7: you saw the Celtics series, he had two unbelievable games

1103
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 7: and two embarrassing games. And you have to ask yourself,

1104
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 7: which James Harden is out there? But to me, I'd

1105
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 7: move on. And obviously they're trying to do this, but

1106
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 7: they're not going to give him away. But right now

1107
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 7: they don't have that suitor.

1108
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and Adam, this is a perpetual thing in

1109
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 3: the games that matter the most in the playoffs. But

1110
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 3: I wanted to go over to the NFL because we

1111
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 3: have four more players suspended for gambling violations. How much

1112
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 3: further is this going to extend prior to the season starting,

1113
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 3: because like Jamis and Williamson, I mean, because he was

1114
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 3: a high draft pick, is probably the most notable player

1115
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 3: that's been suspended. How long before we have a big

1116
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,720
Speaker 3: name player suspended because of not because he was gambling

1117
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 3: on the NFL, but because he was he made a

1118
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 3: bet on a team bus or a team plane or

1119
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 3: the hotel when you're in the bed at night.

1120
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 7: Well, depends, first of all, it depends on a and

1121
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 7: you kind of touch on and passing. Where did the

1122
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 7: player do it? Now if it's on a non NFL game,

1123
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 7: that they can do it as long as it's not

1124
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 7: in the complex. But and it's funny because someone the

1125
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 7: league source sent me the the revised policy for players

1126
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 7: and clubs. It doesn't talk about like, Okay, let's say

1127
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 7: you're on a team plane and you're not you're not

1128
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 7: betting on an NFL game. From what I could understand,

1129
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 7: that's okay, But you cannot bet on anything inside a

1130
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 7: team's facility, on the grounds, in the parking lot. Now

1131
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 7: I joke on the TV segment this week, Well, yeah,

1132
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 7: but if you cross the streets, you can.

1133
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: Think about it.

1134
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 7: You could cross the sidewalk. As long as you're not

1135
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 7: on the team premises, you can bet on the non

1136
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 7: NFL game with no question if you're a player, But

1137
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 7: if you work for a club you can't do it

1138
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 7: with then there's certain restrictions on fantasy football. By the way,

1139
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 7: there's certain restrictions for that. It's this is why I

1140
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 7: think players and agents I spoke with in particular, really

1141
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 7: criticized the NFL for not making clear what they kind

1142
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 7: of cannot do.

1143
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 2: How about this too, Adam, where you think, if you

1144
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 2: do the comparison game, you look at Isaiah Rodgers' former

1145
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 2: Colts cornerback. He gets submitted front. Yeah, for seventeen games

1146
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 2: he was projected to be a starter. He did have

1147
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 2: an NFL related bet. But some of the other guys

1148
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams six game suspension with the Lions where he's

1149
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 2: betting on college games, but at the facility, you compare

1150
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 2: that to a guy.

1151
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: Like I have to go. I have an issue. I

1152
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: have to go.

1153
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I have a family emergency.

1154
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, there he is, Adam Kaplan. I hope everything's okay. Well,

1155
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 2: I'll just throw it to you, George. Think about this man.

1156
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: I hope everything's all right with cap man. I hope

1157
00:58:55,400 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 2: everything's good. But think of Jamison Williams, the Lions wide receiver.

1158
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 2: He's betting on college games at the team facility and

1159
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 2: the NBA, well in the NBA, but non NFL. Right,

1160
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 2: he gets a six game suspension. Meanwhile Cam Robinson of

1161
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 2: the Jags, he gets a four game suspension. He violated

1162
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 2: the ped policy. So think about that. Does that not

1163
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 2: seem out of whack to you? Where I understand you

1164
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 2: got to make sure the integrity of the game. Everything's

1165
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 2: on the up and up. But which gets to the

1166
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 2: heart of the integrity of the game. More, is it

1167
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 2: betting a college football game at the team facility you

1168
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 2: get six games? Or is it using peds? It's the

1169
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 2: latter and you got four games for that. That seems

1170
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 2: completely out of whack to me.

1171
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 3: Now you are right where it feels out of whack. See,

1172
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 3: the first mistake that the NFL made was is is that.

1173
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: When they decided.

1174
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: To investigate players for these gambling things. They decided, oh,

1175
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 3: we have to have a zero tolerance policy and all that,

1176
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 3: there should be a zero tolerance policy in gambling on

1177
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 3: the NFL. But where they messed up is I talked

1178
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 3: to multiple NFL players who had no idea about the policy,

1179
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 3: no idea about.

1180
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: That if you were at the team hotel.

1181
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 3: That you couldn't place a bet, And you're like, wait,

1182
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 3: so it almost feels like you are convicting people when

1183
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 3: there was no clear explanation of the rules none, And

1184
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 3: it's not right. But I do think that you run

1185
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 3: a slippery slope. I think the NFL either needs to

1186
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 3: do one or two things, say players you cannot bet period.

1187
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 3: Either that or you say you can place bets wherever,

1188
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 3: whenever you are, just as long as it is not

1189
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 3: on NFL games. But the problem is this is that

1190
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 3: is that this is a gambling problem in general, because

1191
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 3: gambling is addictive. If gambling was not addictive, you would

1192
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,439
Speaker 3: not have one eight hundred numbers, you would not have

1193
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 3: treatment facilities for all.

1194
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Of these things. So the issue with players gambling in.

1195
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 3: General is regardless of whether it's on the NFL or

1196
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 3: anything else, is that gambling, you can get down big.

1197
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: And if you get down.

1198
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 3: Big, now you're trying to figure out a way to

1199
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 3: get out, and ways to get out include things that

1200
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:47,320
Speaker 3: you can that you actually have control over, and then

1201
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 3: that's where stuff gets tricky. It's not just betting on

1202
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 3: NFL games. It's that if you find yourself in a jam,

1203
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 3: you gotta find the human nature is I gotta find

1204
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 3: my way out of a jam. And if there is

1205
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 3: something in your life that you can control to help

1206
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 3: get yourself out of a gym, what's gonna end up happening?

1207
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: Now?

1208
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I get that, but I mean,

1209
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 2: as far.

1210
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 3: As we've seen it, we saw it at Arizona State years

1211
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 3: and years ago. We saw it with Tim Donneghe in

1212
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 3: the in the NBA.

1213
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 2: But that's really not the NFL's problem. The NFL, to me,

1214
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 2: what they should do. They're making things far more difficult

1215
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 2: on themselves. They should realistically have two rules. They should

1216
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 2: no betting on NFL games. That's an obvious one. No

1217
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 2: insider information. If you're found out to do either, you're

1218
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 2: gonna be in trouble. You can't bet on the NFL,

1219
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 2: that's self explanatory. We would seriously have questions of are

1220
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 2: you altering the outcome of games here in any way,

1221
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 2: shape or form the insider information if you you know,

1222
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 2: you start giving information and it's used for gambling purposes.

1223
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 2: If the game plan calls for you're gonna run the

1224
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: ball like crazy, well that's valuable information. If the starting

1225
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 2: left tackle has a gimpy ankle that he hurt midweek

1226
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 2: and no one really knows about it, well that's huge information.

1227
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 2: If you're found out to give that up, you could

1228
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 2: get in trouble for that. But in terms of like

1229
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 2: betting from the facility and entering a sports book and

1230
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 2: all of that stuff, it's just it's silly. I don't

1231
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 2: know why you would pop players for As Adam said,

1232
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 2: you can literally cross the street as long as you're

1233
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 2: not in the like the stadium parking lot, which is

1234
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 2: a violation, you can cross the street and do it.

1235
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 2: That's just weird to me. They're over complicating it. Well,

1236
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 2: you just don't bet on the NFL. No insider information.

1237
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the I mean, but aren't we used to

1238
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 3: that with with with betting anyway, is that if you

1239
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 3: are standing in California and then you cross the street

1240
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 3: and you're in Nevada. Now all of a sudden your

1241
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 3: apps work and allow you to make bets.

1242
01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 2: But that's state by state, I know, but it's here.

1243
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 2: It is. But as far as the NFL, it's their

1244
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 2: policy for every team, Like it's not like you step

1245
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 2: foot out of the Giants facility and go to the

1246
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 2: Bills facility and now you can you know what I mean? Like,

1247
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 2: it's the same thing for everyone. I just don't understand

1248
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 2: what's good for the NFL. What positive press is there

1249
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 2: for Jamison Williams and others who weren't betting on the

1250
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 2: NFL and they were just betting at the facility, Like

1251
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 2: for them to get suspended for six games and all

1252
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 2: the negative press that it brings the NFL. I just

1253
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 2: don't think the NFL is doing right by itself or

1254
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: the players with the policy like that. I would let

1255
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 2: them have at it, Like what's the fear? This is

1256
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 2: just a oh my gosh, what could happen next type

1257
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 2: rule to not allow gambling from the facility or at

1258
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 2: the team hotel. Like what are you worried about if

1259
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 2: you allow them to bet on the NBA or college

1260
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 2: football or anything that's not NFL? What difference does it

1261
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 2: make if it's at the facility or not.

1262
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 3: Now, now that part I do agree with. You're like,

1263
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 3: where does it matter?

1264
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 2: What?

1265
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 3: Like, if they're not betting on the NFL, how does

1266
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 3: that matter the location of the bet right?

1267
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's silly to me. I don't see how that

1268
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 2: benefits the NFL. It certainly doesn't benefit the players. But

1269
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 2: how does the NFL benefit from that?

1270
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: Oh?

1271
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 3: Me?

1272
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 2: They are they hoping the takeaways like, Oh, the NFL

1273
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 2: has taken this very seriously. I think more people look

1274
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 2: at the NFL and say, what does it matter if

1275
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 2: you enter in your two leg parlay for the NBA

1276
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 2: from the weight room? Like, who cares if you're allowed

1277
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 2: to bet on the NBA? What does it matter if

1278
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 2: it's at the team facility or not?

1279
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? Very true, Yeah, very.

1280
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 2: Crazy to me. We got Manzi Bolanos with us. She's

1281
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 2: got the latest, and I have a compliment to pass

1282
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,120
Speaker 2: along her way. Oh at the tail end of this, oh.

1283
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 4: Well, thank you. I I really agree with you guys

1284
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 4: on this conversation.

1285
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 5: It's just so unnecessarily complicated, the whole gambling thing in

1286
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 5: the NFL.

1287
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 4: I didn't know that you could.

1288
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 5: Cross the street and technically place a bet outside of

1289
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 5: the facility.

1290
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 4: I didn't know. Is that that easy? In a way,

1291
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 4: it's either you can gamble or you can't. I think

1292
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 4: that's the easiest way to put it, because it's too gray.

1293
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 4: It's too gray, it's too complicated. So I'm with you

1294
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 4: guys on how it's a slippery slope. Also, but let's

1295
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 4: talk about Major League Baseball. We got a couple of

1296
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 4: games going on.

1297
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 5: One has yet to start because of a rain delay

1298
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,520
Speaker 5: Guardians and Cubs in Chicago has not started yet.

1299
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 4: The Rays of the Mariners were tied, not anymore. Seattle

1300
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 4: has taken the lead.

1301
01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 5: They're up seven to six top of the eighth inning,

1302
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 5: and the White Sox are all over the a's ace.

1303
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 4: They have been the whole game. It's eight to three,

1304
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 4: top of the eighth inning.

1305
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 5: Earlier today, the Reds beat the Padres four to three,

1306
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 5: and then the Birds beat the Pirates six to three.

1307
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 5: So Milwaukee and Cincinnati are still tied for the top

1308
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 5: spot in the NL Central. The Braves have won eight

1309
01:06:58,760 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 5: in a row. They beat the Marlins to three. Ronald

1310
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 5: Acuna Junior stole two bases in this game. He's up

1311
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 5: to thirty nine for the year and Miami's Luis Aras

1312
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 5: He went two for four in the game, so he's

1313
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 5: batting three eighty eight After today, the oriol snapped a

1314
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 5: four game losing streak and they beat the Twins two

1315
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 5: to one. In NBA news, this was earlier today that

1316
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 5: mister Jordan Clarkson is finalizing a three year deal worth

1317
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 5: fifty five million to stay with the Utah Jazz, and

1318
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 5: I mentioned Eric Gordon with the Suns it's a two

1319
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 5: year deal worth six million, and Miles Bridges is signing

1320
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 5: a one year, seven seven point nine million dollar qualifying

1321
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 5: offer to stay with the Hornets. Both sides are far

1322
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 5: apart on an extension, so he will be an unrestricted

1323
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 5: free agent next summer. And tomorrow Wimbledon begins, or in

1324
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 5: a few hours if you're on the East Coast, but

1325
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 5: Wimbledon begins. An Australian tennis player, Nick Kirios has withdrawn

1326
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 5: citing a wrist injury. He lost last year in the

1327
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 5: men's final to Novak Djokovic. He's been sidelined most of

1328
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three with the knee injury, but apparently he

1329
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:04,600
Speaker 5: has a wrist injury and has withdrawn from Wimbledon back

1330
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 5: to you guys.

1331
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, MONSI. So the compliment I passed along

1332
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: is from my dad.

1333
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 4: Oh okay, what does dad say?

1334
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: So?

1335
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 2: Uh, Dad was over here and we were going to

1336
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 2: the Cardinals game on Friday that got rained out and

1337
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 2: I lost all my money, but it was great to

1338
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 2: see him, and he did he passed this along. He goes,

1339
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 2: is that girl that's on with you on Sunday night?

1340
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 2: I really like her?

1341
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 5: Oh that's sweet, is what he had got to Monty.

1342
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 4: Oh, but you just didn't want to tell me.

1343
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 3: No, man, listen, your your name is buzzing out here

1344
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 3: in these streets.

1345
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: Masih is buzzy.

1346
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 4: Well, at least you know, listen, Team No Sleep. At

1347
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 4: least it's putting.

1348
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 5: At least it's it's it's being worth it is what

1349
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 5: you're telling me, because I'm Team No Sleep guys, so

1350
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 5: at least it's worth it is what you're telling me.

1351
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 4: Well, tell your dad thank you.

1352
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 2: I will definitely will that.

1353
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 4: I love him too, George, George, You're okay. At least

1354
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 4: at least you told me.

1355
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, it came out.

1356
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 5: Wow, somebody just liked the tweet that I said to

1357
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 5: you a while ago that said I was going to

1358
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 5: wish you happy Father's Day, but never mind.

1359
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 3: Somebody just yes, it is when when people like stuff

1360
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,799
Speaker 3: that is so far back right, Yeah.

1361
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what those people do if they

1362
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 2: just do a random search or it's like okay, col

1363
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 2: you it was two years ago, it's like all right, whatever,

1364
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 2: Like I don't know how they even come across that.

1365
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 2: It's it's different right there, Brian knowing George Reister with

1366
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 2: you here on Fox Sports Radio. You know, one more

1367
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 2: thing with the gambling stuff, George, are you skeptical that

1368
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 2: there might be a big name player out there in

1369
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 2: the NFL that has been found out to have violated

1370
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 2: the gambling policy but they sort of look the other way?

1371
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 2: Are you skeptical that might be what we're looking at here?

1372
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: What do you oh that that that they are that

1373
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,200
Speaker 3: it's some sort of big name that they're that they're

1374
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 3: giving a pass to right now that.

1375
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 2: They're just they're looking the other way. You know, it's

1376
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 2: that you're speeding on the highway and you know what, Yeah,

1377
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 2: we'll let it slide. I'm skeptical. I do not know

1378
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 2: this to be a fact.

1379
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 3: That's they can't they they and and that's why I

1380
01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 3: think that investigating this too closely. Oh, they are flying

1381
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,680
Speaker 3: close to the sun, buddy, they are flying close to

1382
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 3: the sun.

1383
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean, as soon as you find out that you know.

1384
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:42,680
Speaker 3: That that Patrick Mahomes that he made a bet on

1385
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 3: Texas Tech versus you know, Okla, Oklahoma while while he

1386
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:53,679
Speaker 3: was driving out of the damn facility parking lot.

1387
01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 2: Baby, and he's gone for the year.

1388
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 1: Nah, that'll be sick games like.

1389
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 2: The Well, that's true, you're right, you're right, you're right,

1390
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 2: assuming it's not NFL related, But still six games. I'm

1391
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 2: thinking the NFL. I just look at this list of

1392
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 2: the nine players who have been suspended, and the biggest

1393
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 2: name is Jamison Williams, who was a twelfth overall pick

1394
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 2: wide receiver with the Lions. Everybody else do some of

1395
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 2: these dudes are free agents? Some of that, like a

1396
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:29,120
Speaker 2: lot of these dudes got suspended are released immediately. Like

1397
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 2: the NFL, they are not releasing players right away. Even

1398
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 2: a guy like Calvin Ridley, he got traded, you know

1399
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like Atlanta traded him. They didn't just

1400
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 2: flat out release him. So I don't know. I'm skeptical.

1401
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,240
Speaker 2: George when you start throwing out Rashad Barry and Demetrius

1402
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 2: Taylor and Stanley Barry Hill, and I'm like, there's not

1403
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 2: one big name player that's violated this policy, not one

1404
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 2: that they know about. I'm very skeptical about that. And

1405
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 2: there was that report in Pro Football Talk that there

1406
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 2: was a big name player that had lost eight million

1407
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 2: dollars gambling. Again, do you feel strongly that all those

1408
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 2: bets were entered on the up and up followed those

1409
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 2: rules to a sea, I'm skeptical. I think this is

1410
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 2: the first wave and they're picking at largely the no names,

1411
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 2: and they're letting it be known like this will happen

1412
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 2: if you violate the rules here. So I think the

1413
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 2: I think the big name players sort of being ushered

1414
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,520
Speaker 2: into this new era. They're grandfathered in with no suspensions,

1415
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 2: is what I think is going on here.

1416
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:46,559
Speaker 3: That's as soon as word gets out that somebody did that,

1417
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 3: oh my god.

1418
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: See that's the problem. They can't do that.

1419
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 3: They can't and this is why the tactic that they've

1420
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 3: taken is a bad tactic. But if you know, if

1421
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, Patch Mahomes, Russell Wilson, anybody else, if they

1422
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 3: placed the bet on the NFL, you gotta throw them out, right,

1423
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 3: But placing a bet on another sport, Oh my god, right,

1424
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:11,440
Speaker 3: the fans will revolt.

1425
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: They will.

1426
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 3: They will have to resend all of these suspensions and

1427
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 3: be like all right, okay, cool, we're we're, we're we're

1428
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 3: we're gonna actually revise this policy and the punishment for

1429
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:24,759
Speaker 3: non NFL betting.

1430
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 2: Well, that's the other thing is how would it be known? Like,

1431
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 2: let's just say what you brought up is true. There's

1432
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 2: a total hypothetical, George. But right, Patrick Mahomes gets in

1433
01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 2: his ride, he's leaving the team facility, and he's like, oh, shoot,

1434
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,639
Speaker 2: that's right, I meant to bet on the Florida Gators.

1435
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 2: Right he enters that bet before he is out of

1436
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 2: the parking lot. That is a violation. If the NFL

1437
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,800
Speaker 2: didn't pop him for that, who would ever know? Like

1438
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 2: what reporter gets that story leaked to them from the book,

1439
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,599
Speaker 2: Who has all of the geo tracker? You know what

1440
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like, yep, they might just keep that in

1441
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 2: house the NFL. I don't know, man, I could. I

1442
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 2: just find it to be very suspicious that it's almost

1443
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:22,320
Speaker 2: all no name people and not one bigger name, not

1444
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 2: one has violated this policy. When you just said, George,

1445
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 2: there are so many players that didn't know all the

1446
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,799
Speaker 2: nuts and bolts about every facet of the gambling policy.

1447
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:39,120
Speaker 3: Yep, it's a It was a disastrous set of events

1448
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 3: the way that they chose to do it. And there

1449
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 3: is only so long that you can fly close to

1450
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 3: the sun. Only so so long that you can fly

1451
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 3: close to the sun until you get burned.

1452
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: By the way.

1453
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: Good news. We heard back from Adam Kaplan FSR NFL

1454
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 2: Insider and he said, we're okay, thankfully, got a scare,

1455
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 2: but we're okay, So everything's good. He had to cut

1456
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 2: the interview short, there was a potential emergency situation, but

1457
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 2: happy to report everything's fine.

1458
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 3: Everything's good, okay, okay, man, see, yeah, great news.

Speaker 3: So you can see I'll be able to see Actually

1486
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 3: I could probably stand outside of my my house because

1487
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 3: I'll probably be able to see the Shepherd fire. Would

1488
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:44,160

Speaker 2: I hope that's good for you, man, I hope very well.

1495
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 2: Now free agency has gone very well for you because

1496
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 2: you love what your Lakers have done, and they've had

1497
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 2: a good offseason. I'm not gonna say they haven't. But

1498
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 2: in terms of like springboarding themselves as the favorites in

1499
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 2: the West, now, no, No, that's where I got to

1500
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 2: pump the brakes on that whole thing, George, Like, what

1501
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 2: has swung the balance from last season to this season?

1502
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 2: Is it enough where the Nuggets lost Bruce Brown and

1503
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 2: the Lakers have brought in who Gabe, Vincent, Jackson Hayes,

1504
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 2: that's been enough to swing it? When they lost in

1505
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 2: six convincingly?

1506
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:41,799
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

1507
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 3: See see here's the here, here's the thing. No, is

1508
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 3: that the Lakers did not even have a chance to

1509
01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 3: play with their full team all year. They got they

1510
01:17:56,600 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 3: re signed Austin Reeves, the Angelo, Russell Ruey High tomorrow,

1511
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:05,639
Speaker 3: they add Turion Prince, Gabe Vinson, Jackson Hayes, and Cam

1512
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 3: Reddish and that all accounted for forty four million dollars. Man,

1513
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 3: come on, we and we are and we're still not

1514
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 3: in the luxury text either.

1515
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 2: We're listen to you.

1516
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: Oh bro, how bro?

1517
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 3: Do you have competent pieces that can score from? Like

1518
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 3: everybody on the court can is a competent NBA player.

1519
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: Your your rotation.

1520
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 3: In the playoffs is gonna be nine to nine deep,

1521
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 3: maybe ten deep.

1522
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: You are in a good spot, buddy.

1523
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,959
Speaker 3: That means less stress on Lebron and a d and

1524
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 3: in the inevitable point that they miss a few games,

1525
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 3: they will be a okay baby, there it will.

1526
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: Be no play in. We no play in. We will

1527
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: be flirting with the one seed.

1528
01:18:57,200 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, listen, you are nauseating over here. Goodness,

1529
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 2: you're over indulging in Laker optimism. You know you're gonna

1530
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 2: tip over pretty soon here, because Okay, you re up

1531
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 2: with Austin Reeves, Rui Hachimura.

1532
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: I like that.

1533
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 2: You bring in Gabe Vincent. Okay, got some notoriety getting

1534
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 2: to the finals with Miami. You re up with D'Angelo Russell,

1535
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 2: who was freaking awful against the Denver Nuggets, brutal. So

1536
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, some of these moves for depth not bad,

1537
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 2: but I don't think you can overstate it. It's still

1538
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 2: what you do top end wise more times than that.

1539
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 2: That's how it's determined in the NBA, and the top

1540
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 2: end talent is better with Denver then the Lakers. Like, Okay,

1541
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 2: you get Torrian Prince. That's nice. You can give you

1542
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 2: a few minutes. That's not gonna swing it where the

1543
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 2: Lakers are favored to come out of the West. That's

1544
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 2: too much.

1545
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 3: The Denver Nuggets had a great year this year. Fantastic year.

1546
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 3: The Lakers added defensive help. Oh do they so so

1547
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:06,719
Speaker 3: much better?

1548
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: Man?

1551
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 2: might yell at me.

1562
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 2: of the big names staying put in free agency, but

1563
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna see some names on the move. Damian Lillard

1564
01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 2: has asked for a trade. James Harden will be traded

1565
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 2: because the Sixers didn't want to commit to him long term,

1566
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 2: which is, uh, I think admirable. I think you look

1567
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:12,799
Speaker 2: at the Sixers and I understand where they would say

1568
01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 2: multiple years. We're talking four years. Nah no, no, no, no,

1569
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 2: They're gonna look to move up. You agree with that, George,

1570
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:23,759
Speaker 2: I do agree with that move, But there are often

1571
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 2: teams that negotiate from a standpoint of fear where they're like, well,

1572
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 2: if not him, then then who then what? And the

1573
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 2: Sixers didn't look at it.

1574
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 3: That is a terrible decision, Like you should never do

1575
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 3: that ever, because it's I mean, it's like the Jake

1576
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 3: Cutler thing where the Bears are like, well, we don't

1577
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 3: have anybody else, we don't have anybody else, like okay.

1578
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 3: So so that means that you give a bad contract. No,

1579
01:21:56,960 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 3: you figure it out that you do not. And I've

1580
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 3: learned this in life, and a recent experience just echoed

1581
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 3: what I've thought about this.

1582
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: Do not throw good money after bad do not it.

1583
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 1: They're like, well, it's sunk cost him too far invested. No,

1584
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: you're not. You are never too far invested in a in.

1585
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 3: A bad idea, Get out of the get out. Stop

1586
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 3: wasting your time, stop wasting your energy.

1587
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 1: Don't waste your jail time.

1588
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 3: Don't waste you like, don't waste your life on a

1589
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 3: on a losing proposition.

1590
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's great as great perspective. It's you know

1591
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 2: what's funny is you can see how much is writing

1592
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 2: on the postseason. And I know some people say, no kidding, no,

1593
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 2: obviously that But for James Harden, it's a distant memory

1594
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 2: that he led the league in assists, Like, he didn't

1595
01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 2: have a bad season. But what happened in those losses

1596
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 2: against the Celtics. We talked about it, George. It was

1597
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 2: the best of the best and the worst of the worst,

1598
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 2: because he had two games where he scored over forty

1599
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 2: and willed the Sixers to wins over Boston. But the

1600
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 2: losses he was freaking brutal. I think three point range.

1601
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: But also it's the fourth quarters.

1602
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 2: Too, well that too, but just from three point range

1603
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 2: in the losses against Boston, he's shooting twelve percent. Yeah,

1604
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 2: like that just can't happen. So the point is that's

1605
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 2: all we remember with Harden and we get away from

1606
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 2: the good of the regular season. With all that being said,

1607
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 2: I don't think he can commit to him. If you're

1608
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 2: the Sixers long term, I think you're better off pivoting

1609
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,719
Speaker 2: and moving in a different direction. I think that makes

1610
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 2: a lot of sense. But the question now is who

1611
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 2: thinks of it completely differently and says, let's trade for

1612
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 2: James Harden when you can't sign him to an extension.

1613
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 2: It's just this next season and then he's going to

1614
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 2: be a free agent.

1615
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, so see the see the issue at trading for

1616
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 3: James Harden and getting James Hardener.

1617
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:12,760
Speaker 1: Your team is you know, has multiple facets to it.

1618
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 3: First thing is he he doesn't bring winning culture with him,

1619
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 3: like with his energy and effort. On the defensive end,

1620
01:24:25,800 --> 01:24:30,719
Speaker 3: it's too it's too like he'll defend in the post

1621
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:32,520
Speaker 3: because there's like some ego.

1622
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: Involved in her. He doesn't want to just get pushed around.

1623
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 3: And yes, he defends better than he used to where

1624
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:41,680
Speaker 3: where he would just.

1625
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 1: You know, be a just an old lay defense.

1626
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 3: But he also you know, he he doesn't display the

1627
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 3: type of work ethic that you want in general, like

1628
01:24:58,479 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 3: is he a great player?

1629
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: Absolute?

1630
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 3: But when the talk of him going back to Houston

1631
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 3: came about, I was like, why would Houston want him

1632
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 3: around all those young young players, Like, he's not the

1633
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 3: adult in the room that you want in those crucial times. Yeah,

1634
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 3: you're right, and you actually need and when you've actually

1635
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 3: brought adults in the room like Russell Westbrook and Chris Paul,

1636
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:26,640
Speaker 3: he ain't like it because then they were like, yeah,

1637
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:32,919
Speaker 3: there were reports of Russell Westbrook saying, oh no, no, no, no, no,

1638
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 3: we waiting on James to start to start this meeting,

1639
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 3: this meeting starting right now.

1640
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 1: He ain't on time. That ain't that ain't our problem.

1641
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 2: Now let's think about this too, George Brian knowing George

1642
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 2: Reister with you here on Fox Sports Radio. What the

1643
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 2: Rockets did do was bringing Dylan Brooks, who you could

1644
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 2: argue isn't the adult in the room either. They signed

1645
01:25:55,640 --> 01:26:00,040
Speaker 2: him to a four year, eighty million dollar deal. And

1646
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 2: you know, I hear you on not bringing Harden in there.

1647
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 2: I get that. But they bring in Dylan Brooks, who

1648
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 2: a lot of people would look at and say Okay,

1649
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:14,639
Speaker 2: immature he's talking about you know, Lebron James is old.

1650
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 1: But would you call him immature though.

1651
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks, Yes, I mean it does a lot immature.

1652
01:26:21,400 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: He's a he's an ahole, is what right?

1653
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's more that than yes, yeah, but he is

1654
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 3: also an adult like you. He's an All NBA defender.

1655
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 3: He had shot the ball better prior to his role

1656
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 3: changing last year with the emergence of Desmond Bane. And

1657
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 3: mind you, I have had some things to say about

1658
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks that aren't so flattering. However, I'm a you know,

1659
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 3: I'm a broker of truth.

1660
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:56,120
Speaker 2: That's a duck on duck crime, right there, George Goodness.

1661
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 3: Listen, listen, the the the broker of truth.

1662
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: He knows no relationship it. It just is what it is.

1663
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 3: And so I believe that Dylan Brooks, with his energy

1664
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 3: and effort, is actually gonna be good for this young

1665
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets team because you've never heard reports of Dylan

1666
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 3: Brooks not showing up for work on time, not being

1667
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,480
Speaker 3: a professional, not working hard.

1668
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: And he's kind of a you know, he's kind of

1669
01:27:27,080 --> 01:27:27,479
Speaker 1: a prick.

1670
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 3: So then imagine like if you can get that kind

1671
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 3: of chippy attitude with the Houston Rockets and that young

1672
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 3: core with Emi Udoka, Like he will be the market

1673
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 3: smart He'll be the Draymond Green.

1674
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, even though even though he's a dollar.

1675
01:27:47,200 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 3: General Draymond Green in terms of you know, like the

1676
01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 3: playmaking and passing ability. If he leans into that and

1677
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 3: refines his game in that way, oh my god, he

1678
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 3: will have a tremendous net positive impact on the Houston Rockets.

1679
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 2: Well it's interesting because, huh if if Dylan Brooks is

1680
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 2: the same guy on a winning team, he's looked at

1681
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 2: completely differently. There are guys like think think of Dennis Rodman.

1682
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:24,599
Speaker 2: If he played on teams that didn't win championships, how

1683
01:28:24,600 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 2: we would look at that guy. Or this goes back

1684
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 2: in the hot tub time machine, but remember Bruce Bowen

1685
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 2: with the Spurs, How he's a great defensive player, would

1686
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,880
Speaker 2: get under your skin that sort of thing. We looked

1687
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:36,760
Speaker 2: at him like, oh man, you need that, you need

1688
01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 2: some dog on your team. If he's doing that for

1689
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 2: a team that's not advancing in the playoffs, we would

1690
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 2: look at those guys the way that most people look

1691
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 2: at Dylan Brooks. Right now. The thing and I don't know,

1692
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 2: if you're gonna yell at me, you might not based

1693
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:53,839
Speaker 2: on what you've said there, George. But with Marcus Smart

1694
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 2: going to the Grizzlies, it was taken as like, oh

1695
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:02,840
Speaker 2: my gosh, this is great, you know, leadership maturity and Dylan.

1696
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong, Marcus Smart is a leader. But

1697
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:09,599
Speaker 2: I think that Marcus Smart and Dylan Brooks are looked

1698
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 2: at in two completely different lights, and although Marcus Smart

1699
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 2: is a better all around player, they are closer than

1700
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 2: what their reputations are. Dylan Brooks is an absolute grinder.

1701
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 2: He's a very good defender. He's a better scorer than

1702
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart is, and he's looked.

1703
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:30,800
Speaker 1: At whoa whoa, whoa whoa.

1704
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:33,679
Speaker 2: You want me to throw numbers at you over here,

1705
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 2: easily a better scorer. Marcus Smart has never averaged over

1706
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 2: thirteen points in any season in his NBA career. Last

1707
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 2: four seasons for Dylan Brooks sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, fourteen points

1708
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 2: per night.

1709
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: Uh have you looked at the efficiency numbers, dude?

1710
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 3: Last year he was the worst field goal shooter in

1711
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:02,440
Speaker 3: the NBA, the worst in terms of field goal effective

1712
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 3: field goal percentage, the worst so so.

1713
01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:11,080
Speaker 2: Larry Picking one season, heeps for forty one percent for

1714
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:16,000
Speaker 2: his career. You know, mark from the field, Where.

1715
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 1: Where on earth is that good?

1716
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart is worse. Marcus Smart is thirty eight percent

1717
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 2: from the field, Marcus Smart from three worse. Marcus Smart

1718
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 2: shoots worse. He's not a better scorer than Dylan Brooks.

1719
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 2: These are like you see in your side mirror where

1720
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:36,360
Speaker 2: it says objects are closer than they appear. Dylan Brooks

1721
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 2: is much closer to Marcus Smart than most people would

1722
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 2: make you believe.

1723
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:46,720
Speaker 3: And now there is some truth to people look at

1724
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 3: you in a different light when you when you do win. However, though, however,

1725
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:57,960
Speaker 3: now you are looking at career numbers, right, you're looking.

1726
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:00,799
Speaker 2: At the right See, I'm looking by career also season

1727
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 2: by season and when and Dylan Dylan Brooks shot thirty

1728
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 2: nine percent from the field last season and on his

1729
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 2: career and on his career forty one percent, but thirty

1730
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:18,640
Speaker 2: nine percent last year, forty three this season before that.

1731
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:22,200
Speaker 3: So we're gonna sit up here and act like that

1732
01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:24,040
Speaker 3: that is that that's good.

1733
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:25,519
Speaker 1: It's not.

1734
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 2: It's better than Marcus Smart. I'm not telling you that

1735
01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:33,679
Speaker 2: he's Steph Curry. Okay, I'm not telling you that. I'm

1736
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 2: telling you he's a better offensive player than Marcus Smart is.

1737
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:43,559
Speaker 2: He shoots it better, He's averaged more points, like he

1738
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 2: has more. He's been in the league for six years.

1739
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 2: Four of those years, he's averaged more than Marcus Smart

1740
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:52,599
Speaker 2: ever has in any season in his career.

1741
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 3: And I am not disparaging him, but but when it

1742
01:31:56,800 --> 01:31:58,719
Speaker 3: comes to the playoffs and all that stuff, who would

1743
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 3: you rather be making?

1744
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:05,839
Speaker 2: Hey that listen with Dylan Brooks and the Ipoke Bears

1745
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 2: and with that backfiring royally on him. It's hurt his reputation,

1746
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that.

1747
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: But it didn't hurt his reputation around the league clearly.

1748
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:18,680
Speaker 2: Well, hey, i mean four years, eighty million dollars.

1749
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 3: It's clearly a lot is clearly teams around the league

1750
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:23,960
Speaker 3: that are saying, uh, I'll take that.

1751
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 1: I will take that.

1752
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 2: Well, I also think this too, where like, let's not

1753
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 2: get it twisted, Marcus Smart has been a hot head too.

1754
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 2: These guys are wired similarly and are thought and largely

1755
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:40,160
Speaker 2: that's good. But look, if you look at technical George.

1756
01:32:40,120 --> 01:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to give you some credit because.

1757
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 3: I did not realize either that Marcus Smart's shooting was

1758
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:52,680
Speaker 3: this freaking bad. Oh good God, And and and I

1759
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:56,600
Speaker 3: knew that his three point percentage was bad, right, his

1760
01:32:56,680 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 3: three point percentage was bad. But and that that's why

1761
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,839
Speaker 3: he ends up with those last shots.

1762
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: But however, though, when you.

1763
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and when you look at their effective field goal percentage,

1764
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:14,800
Speaker 3: now the last couple of seasons, Marcus Smart is blowing

1765
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:17,600
Speaker 3: him out of the water. Okay, blowing him out of

1766
01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 3: the water. But I mean because Dylan Brooks he gets

1767
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 3: more layups because he's you know, because of the role

1768
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:30,519
Speaker 3: that he plays on the team. He gets more layups

1769
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 3: and dunks, whereas Marcus Smart is shooting more jump shots

1770
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 3: and stuff like that.

1771
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,400
Speaker 1: So this is just tough, broy Man.

1772
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:40,640
Speaker 2: But from three, but look for three point range is

1773
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 2: three point range, right, Dylan Brooks has shot it better

1774
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:47,840
Speaker 2: than Marcus Smart over the course of his career.

1775
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, well, well, I mean better better. Ain't good

1776
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:55,520
Speaker 1: with with either one of them, dudes.

1777
01:33:56,479 --> 01:34:00,720
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks for his career, you like to have both

1778
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 2: plus thirty five, You would like to have it plus

1779
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,599
Speaker 2: thirty five, Yeah, but I'll take thirty four over thirty two.

1780
01:34:06,320 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 2: Marcus Smart is that thirtoth of those.

1781
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 3: Both of those guys are leave open guys. And that's

1782
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 3: why you know he had some big games in the

1783
01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 3: playoffs because he was in Marcus Smart, because he was

1784
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 3: able to hit some of those shots because they were like, listen,

1785
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 3: if he keeps hidden shots'll y'all just gonna win and

1786
01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:26,880
Speaker 3: he ain't gonna do it game after game. But no,

1787
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 3: there was a signing in the NBA though, that honestly

1788
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 3: is is, I believe better than probably the most important

1789
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 3: signing of any team.

1790
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 2: Well, let's get to that coming up, because I want

1791
01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 2: to It sounds like we need to stretch our legs

1792
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 2: out a little bit on that. But let me put

1793
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 2: a bow on this real fast. Because when Dylan Brooks

1794
01:34:48,600 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 2: was released and the Grizzlies traded for Marcus Smart, it

1795
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 2: was taken as like, oh gosh, this you're talking about

1796
01:34:56,640 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 2: leadership stability like and it's like, really, if you look

1797
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 2: at Marcus Smart, he's very similar to Dylan Brooks. He's

1798
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,360
Speaker 2: a hothead too. If you look at technical files the

1799
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,400
Speaker 2: last couple of years, George Dylan Brooks had eighteen, Marcus

1800
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 2: Smart had eleven. Season prior Dylan Brooks with thirteen, Marcus

1801
01:35:13,439 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 2: Smart with eight. I've seen Marcus Smart go ballistic on

1802
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:22,160
Speaker 2: officials before numerous times, so I just think it's interesting

1803
01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:26,800
Speaker 2: that we look at Marcus Smart largely as this ridiculous

1804
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:30,640
Speaker 2: clown says these obnoxious things, and Marcus Smart is just

1805
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:34,640
Speaker 2: he's the picture of stability. It really. I just think

1806
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:37,479
Speaker 2: they're much closer than that. I think Marcus Smart better

1807
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 2: all around player because he's been a three time defensive

1808
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 2: guy First Team, He's been the Defensive Player of the Year.

1809
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 2: I give him the nods certainly in defense, but offensively,

1810
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks is better man. I just think they're a

1811
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 2: lot closer than most people. I'm surprised at you, George.

1812
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,839
Speaker 2: You are enlightened man over there. Yeah, open minded.

1813
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:01,360
Speaker 1: Listen. I clearly had a blind spot there, buddy.

1814
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 3: I will not I will not be caught with the

1815
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 3: banana and the tailpipe.

1816
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:12,879
Speaker 1: Again on that one that I'm I am offended at myself.

1817
01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 2: But right, reputation wise, Marcus Smart's reputation is world's better

1818
01:36:22,280 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 2: than Dylan Brooks's, right, And I don't think it should

1819
01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:27,880
Speaker 2: be that way. I don't agree with it, but you

1820
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:29,880
Speaker 2: would agree with that right if you just ask the

1821
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:33,320
Speaker 2: common person. Dylan Brooks and Marcus smart to. Oh gosh,

1822
01:36:33,320 --> 01:36:35,759
Speaker 2: are you kidding me with that question? They're much closer.

1823
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:37,800
Speaker 2: I think we got to get to your thought coming

1824
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,080
Speaker 2: up here at George, what did you say the the

1825
01:36:41,120 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 2: biggest sign Oh?

1826
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:43,839
Speaker 1: No, the most important signed.

1827
01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 2: Most important signing. Okay, we'll do that. And also there's

1828
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 2: a bold prediction NFL style that is very likely to

1829
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:53,439
Speaker 2: be wrong. We'll get to both of those things coming up.

1830
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 2: I'm Brian No, He's George Reister. This is Fox Sports Radio.

1831
01:36:57,439 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 2: I'm Brian No. He's George Reister here on Fox Sports Radio.

1832
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:04,640
Speaker 2: We're coming to you live from the tirerec dot Com studios. Man,

1833
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm racking my brain over you. I got a couple

1834
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:09,840
Speaker 2: of guesses, George, as to who you think is the

1835
01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 2: most valuable signing and free agency?

1836
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 1: Do I have that right, yes, sir.

1837
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:17,439
Speaker 2: The most valuable I've got I've.

1838
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Got to guess to their particular team.

1839
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 2: To their particular team. Yeah, I've gotten outside the box

1840
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 2: guess and then a more of a standard guess. Okay,

1841
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 2: which would you like?

1842
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: First?

1843
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:30,639
Speaker 2: Are you going outside the box?

1844
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:31,719
Speaker 1: Standard guess?

1845
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 2: Standard guests would be Eric Gordon going to the Suns.

1846
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:40,719
Speaker 1: Absolutely not No, not on the list.

1847
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,760
Speaker 2: Okay, my outside the box thought. As to what you

1848
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:50,840
Speaker 2: might say, Yep, Derek Rose to the Grizzlies, ding Ding,

1849
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 2: I should have gone with outside the Box.

1850
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 1: I hear you.

1851
01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 2: What's your reasoning on this one?

1852
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:02,280
Speaker 3: Because Derek Row was turned down more money in his

1853
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:06,599
Speaker 3: player option this year than he got, so this signals

1854
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 3: to me that he wanted to go to Memphis that

1855
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 3: because he wants to help joh Moran, because Jah likes

1856
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 3: to hang with gangsters right now right and is on

1857
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 3: the verge of throwing his.

1858
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:21,639
Speaker 1: Career away, possibly his life.

1859
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 3: Derek Rose has experience with this, even though it didn't

1860
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 3: come out in the media and all of this. He

1861
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 3: was the young woman that he was involved with, was

1862
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 3: the daughter of one of the biggest gangsters in Chicago,

1863
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:42,800
Speaker 3: and so and so. He has experience with this sort

1864
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 3: of thing. And if anybody can mentor John Morant and

1865
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:49,520
Speaker 3: get through to Jahn Morant and you have the respective.

1866
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 1: John Morant is a former.

1867
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 3: MVP former you know, a guy who won an MVP

1868
01:38:57,320 --> 01:39:00,439
Speaker 3: over Lebron even though Lebron should have won the award year.

1869
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:05,360
Speaker 3: A man who has been through the trials and tribulations.

1870
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,760
Speaker 3: He's been at the mountaintop and now he's in you know,

1871
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 3: and now he's an NBA backup mm hmmm.

1872
01:39:12,120 --> 01:39:15,120
Speaker 2: No, I like the thought process behind it for everything

1873
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:19,640
Speaker 2: that you mentioned. Think about you know, the stage, the spotlight,

1874
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 2: Derek Rose, former number one overall pick the spotlight is

1875
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 2: bright there in Chicago, former league MVB like you mentioned,

1876
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:31,839
Speaker 2: and now as a backup slash mentor to John Morant.

1877
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,440
Speaker 2: I absolutely get the thought process behind that move from Memphis.

1878
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:38,200
Speaker 2: Of course, there's gonna be those jokes its floating around

1879
01:39:38,240 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 2: now it's guns n' roses with John and Derreck Rose.

1880
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:45,519
Speaker 2: But you're gonna get all those jokes. Whatever doesn't matter.

1881
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:49,839
Speaker 2: If this can in any way help Memphis is superstar

1882
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 2: and John Morant yes, by all means you do it.

1883
01:39:52,960 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 2: And I think that sometimes the money with some of

1884
01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 2: these deals, that's what catches our attention. But I think

1885
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 2: you also have to look at impact. And if you

1886
01:40:03,200 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 2: look at Eric Gordon going to the Phoenix Suns, they're

1887
01:40:06,120 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 2: bargain shopping here with their Big three slash. It's like

1888
01:40:11,080 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 2: a big three plus a junior and DeAndre Ayton. They

1889
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 2: get Eric Gordon on a two year deal for six

1890
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:21,800
Speaker 2: million dollars. The Clippers. They didn't guarantee Eric Gordon's twenty

1891
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:25,439
Speaker 2: one million dollar contract last week, and the team saves

1892
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 2: over one hundred million dollars and its projected tax bill.

1893
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean Eric Gordon can't play. And for the

1894
01:40:33,200 --> 01:40:35,920
Speaker 2: Suns to go bargain shopping and get that guy on

1895
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 2: a six million dollar deal over two years, that is

1896
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:41,439
Speaker 2: a win for Phoenix, no doubt about it.

1897
01:40:42,800 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 3: Yeap, oh yeah, yes, that that is definitely because they

1898
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:50,760
Speaker 3: are going to have trouble filling out their roster with

1899
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:54,800
Speaker 3: good players. They're going to have massive trouble with the

1900
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 3: way this team has has the way it's set up,

1901
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 3: Bradley being the Kevin Durant, Devin Booker Ayton.

1902
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:06,600
Speaker 1: They are already in the salary in.

1903
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:10,640
Speaker 3: The luxury tax crazy before they get other players. I

1904
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:14,959
Speaker 3: mean it's with all their players and contracts committed, including campaign,

1905
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 3: they're already at one hundred and seventy five million dollars.

1906
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:23,920
Speaker 3: Then they signed Eric Gordon. This is ah, this is uh,

1907
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 3: this will not work.

1908
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 2: You can book it the Sons altogether.

1909
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah no, no, yeah, is that.

1910
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:34,680
Speaker 2: Are you saying Eric Gordon or the Suns just what

1911
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 2: they're going for right here? To top heavy.

1912
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yes, when dude, it's to get rich quick scheme.

1913
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is no.

1914
01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 3: There is no point in time where where you can

1915
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:58,200
Speaker 3: it well in NBA history, right, it was in recent history.

1916
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,639
Speaker 3: With free agency the way it is, you've not been

1917
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 3: able to just buy a team. Something goes wrong the

1918
01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets, they end up having injuries and infighting and

1919
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 3: all of this stuff. Whenever you try to get rich

1920
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:15,840
Speaker 3: quick scheme, it does not work. I mean, yes, they yes,

1921
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:21,280
Speaker 3: they drafted Booker and drafted eight, but now throwing away

1922
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 3: your depth, I mean there's no way that they're gonna

1923
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:27,800
Speaker 3: be able to get many. I mean, it ain't too

1924
01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,640
Speaker 3: many more Eric Gordon's he's just sick of being on

1925
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 3: bad teams. Hey and they and they paid him a

1926
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 3: reasonable amount of money, but everybody else is gonna have

1927
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 3: to be on minimum contracts and all you're gonna get

1928
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 3: is the Blake Griffins of the world.

1929
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:42,839
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying. For that type of money,

1930
01:42:43,320 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 2: that's what I was expecting for their roster to largely

1931
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 2: look like where it's like who it's the old who

1932
01:42:50,960 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 2: he played for a game on TNT when they grill Barkley,

1933
01:42:55,200 --> 01:42:59,040
Speaker 2: you know, the Sons are a prime candidate for who

1934
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:03,719
Speaker 2: he played for type you know, supporting cast if you will.

1935
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 2: And to get a guy like Eric Gordon, I'm not

1936
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 2: telling you he's all NBA, but at thirty four years old,

1937
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,599
Speaker 2: he's a guy that can shoot it, that's a competent

1938
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:15,280
Speaker 2: NBA player. So that's a win. That is absolutely a

1939
01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:17,599
Speaker 2: win for the Suns. You might be right, it might

1940
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 2: not work. It's the opposite of what they were doing.

1941
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:24,679
Speaker 2: They were building with you know, young talent, like young

1942
01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 2: depth mixed with their star talent, and they said, we've

1943
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 2: topped out, so we're going in a different direction.

1944
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:31,599
Speaker 1: Man.

1945
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 2: They have gone completely one eighty from where they were

1946
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 2: a couple of seasons ago battling the Bucks. So we'll see.

1947
01:43:38,520 --> 01:43:40,640
Speaker 2: But getting Eric Gordon is a win. I'll tell you what.

1948
01:43:40,840 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 2: It's always a win when we hear from one Moncey Bolangos,

1949
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 2: who's got the latest Monsey? What's going on here? Everything

1950
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:48,719
Speaker 2: good in your world?

1951
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:48,880
Speaker 1: Oh?

1952
01:43:48,920 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 4: Is so good?

1953
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 5: I did kind of laugh out loud when you mentioned

1954
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:52,800
Speaker 5: Blake Griffin.

1955
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 4: Because it's like a oh man, yeah, what happened to

1956
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:57,400
Speaker 4: that guy? Why? Why did he have.

1957
01:43:57,400 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 2: To go the way he did? A crazy how much

1958
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 2: it's changed from where he was to now. It's like

1959
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:07,360
Speaker 2: you're only gonna get someone like Blake Griffin. But that's accurate.

1960
01:44:07,400 --> 01:44:08,600
Speaker 2: That's where it's.

1961
01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,240
Speaker 4: All accurate, for sure, one hundred percent.

1962
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 1: I just saw him at the US Open the other week.

1963
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:14,840
Speaker 2: Oh really, Yeah, he's just out there watching the golf.

1964
01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 4: Well you know what else is he gonna do?

1965
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:17,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got nothing else.

1966
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 4: That's going on. I get it. I went to see

1967
01:44:21,240 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 4: about two years ago when I went to New York.

1968
01:44:23,240 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 5: I went to watch the Brooklyn Nets play the Chicago

1969
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:29,840
Speaker 5: Bulls and he was on the team. He was on

1970
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:32,479
Speaker 5: the Nets team, so I wore my I went to

1971
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 5: the All Star Game.

1972
01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:34,760
Speaker 4: Was a twenty eleven where.

1973
01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 5: He was technically a rookie but it was his second year,

1974
01:44:36,760 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 5: and he like jumped over the car. They were selling

1975
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 5: this like soccer clipper Blake Griffin Jersey, and I wore

1976
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 5: that to this game in New York.

1977
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:48,479
Speaker 4: Super random. But he didn't even play, so good stuff.

1978
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 4: Good stuff for me.

1979
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 5: Let's talk about baseball, because we officially know who was

1980
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 5: going to the All Star Game. On July eleventh in Seattle,

1981
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:58,719
Speaker 5: twenty six players are going to be making their All Star.

1982
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 4: Debut obviously, Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers not his first time.

1983
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:04,839
Speaker 5: He's gonna be making his tenth All Star appearance, second

1984
01:45:04,920 --> 01:45:08,719
Speaker 5: only to Angels Mike Trout, who will be making his eleventh.

1985
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:08,840
Speaker 4: All Star Game.

1986
01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:12,880
Speaker 5: Choeyotani became a two way All Star for the third

1987
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:14,720
Speaker 5: straight year, the only player.

1988
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:16,280
Speaker 4: In Major League history to be in the All Star

1989
01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:17,240
Speaker 4: as a two way player.

1990
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:21,679
Speaker 5: Atlanta Braves are sending eight players to the All Star Game,

1991
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 5: the most out of any team since the twenty twelve

1992
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 5: Texas Rangers and the most out of any National League

1993
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:29,360
Speaker 5: team since the two thousand and eight Chicago Cubs.

1994
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 4: Their entire infield is going to the All Star Game.

1995
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 4: That's pretty awesome. The Rangers have six All Stars this

1996
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 4: year and the Dodgers have five All Stars this year.

1997
01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:40,639
Speaker 5: Earlier today, though, let's talk about what happened in Major

1998
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:43,519
Speaker 5: League Baseball. Victories for the Nationals who beat the Phillies,

1999
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:44,560
Speaker 5: Red Sox.

2000
01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 4: Took down the Blue Jays.

2001
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:49,640
Speaker 5: Victories for the Royals, the Astros, the Tigers, the Mariners

2002
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,280
Speaker 5: who beat the Rays seven to six.

2003
01:45:51,320 --> 01:45:53,639
Speaker 4: They held on to win that one. Your Cardinals beat

2004
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,440
Speaker 4: the Yankees five to one. How about Aaron Boone.

2005
01:45:56,120 --> 01:46:00,840
Speaker 5: Getting ejected for the fifth time this season balls and

2006
01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 5: strikes in the third inning. That would be me, guys,

2007
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 5: if I was an I was manager, I think I'd.

2008
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 4: Be like Aaron Booton. I'm not gonna lie.

2009
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 5: Angels with a five to two victory over the Diamondbacks,

2010
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:13,639
Speaker 5: Shoeyo Tani hitting his thirty first homer of the season,

2011
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:17,160
Speaker 5: which leads Major League Baseball. Birds took down the Pirates,

2012
01:46:17,200 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 5: and the Reds beat the Padres four to three. Milwaukee

2013
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:21,880

2015

Speaker 5: street they beat the Twins two to one, and right now,

2016
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 5: Guardians and Cups. After a long rain delay, they're back

2017
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 5: in action, but they are scoreless top of the third inning.

2018
01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 5: The Giants and the Mets are also scoreless bottom of

2019
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 5: the second inning. And NBA news, the Bulls have applied

2020
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 5: to the NBA for a disabled player exception worth ten

2036
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:27,920
Speaker 2: George Reister with you here on Fox Sports Radio. Man,

2037
01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:31,880
Speaker 2: it's crazy. When Monzy was talking about Lonzo Ball missing

2038
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:36,800
Speaker 2: another season, it sounds like some old school stuff like

2039
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 2: Gail Sayers when you'd had a knee injury and your

2040
01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:42,360
Speaker 2: career is over. Like it's twenty twenty three and this

2041
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 2: dude's gonna miss another season. I hate it. I hate

2042
01:47:45,560 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 2: that it's gone that way for Lonzo Ball's career.

2043
01:47:48,040 --> 01:47:49,839
Speaker 4: And we don't even know if it's just a season.

2044
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might it might be.

2045
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,120
Speaker 5: There were reports a couple of weeks ago where they

2046
01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:55,240
Speaker 5: don't think he's gonna play again.

2047
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:58,560
Speaker 4: Man's that's so sad.

2048
01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's so sad because he's so talented and

2049
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:09,040
Speaker 3: he was coming into his own in terms.

2050
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:10,680
Speaker 1: Of who he's going to be in the NBA.

2051
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 3: Like he wasn't going to be an NBA superstar like

2052
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:18,760
Speaker 3: some people initially thought, but he did have you know,

2053
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:25,559
Speaker 3: fifteen year NBA potential as a starter, like and might

2054
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:27,839
Speaker 3: be able to sneak in the All Star game season

2055
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:29,160
Speaker 3: in every now and then.

2056
01:48:29,840 --> 01:48:34,160
Speaker 1: But he Like, it's just so sad, but.

2057
01:48:35,960 --> 01:48:40,400
Speaker 3: You always like to at least have have players paid well.

2058
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:45,280
Speaker 3: And and when you think about all the stuff that

2059
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 3: he's gone through with the with the shoes and with

2060
01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 3: you know, all sorts of stuff, and then how much

2061
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:57,559
Speaker 3: money was stolen from him, at least the fact that

2062
01:48:57,600 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 3: he's going to get out of this whole deal making

2063
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:03,720
Speaker 3: well over one hundred million dollars is.

2064
01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:06,639
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him. Man.

2065
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:09,720
Speaker 2: You go back to when it first started for Lonzo's

2066
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 2: career getting drafted by the Lakers, and you remember this, George,

2067
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 2: you too, Monsie, But remember when Magic Johnson said this.

2068
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 10: I'm gonna put a little pressure on you. Right now.

2069
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:21,920
Speaker 10: You look to your right, there's some jerseys hanging on

2070
01:49:21,960 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 10: that wall. With expect a ball jersey hanging up there

2071
01:49:26,320 --> 01:49:26,680
Speaker 10: one day.

2072
01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 2: All right, good ouch man. You talk about expectations as

2073
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:35,720
Speaker 2: what the number two overall pick. That was rough. I

2074
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:37,799
Speaker 2: know Magic didn't mean to put him in a bad spot,

2075
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:40,760
Speaker 2: but it did. And that's the way we looked at

2076
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:44,000
Speaker 2: Lonzo is well, he's not this and not that. And

2077
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:46,799
Speaker 2: like you said, George, he's a very good defensive player

2078
01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 2: and was coming into his own to really feel comfortable

2079
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:53,960
Speaker 2: in his role where his shooting his shot, Remember his

2080
01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 2: form was so wonky in college, and he did a

2081
01:49:57,439 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 2: lot to mix.

2082
01:49:58,360 --> 01:49:59,879
Speaker 1: We built his whole shot.

2083
01:50:00,160 --> 01:50:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And now this knee injury is just lingering, man,

2084
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:07,680
Speaker 2: lingering and lingering. It's so sad. I hate that. I

2085
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:09,599
Speaker 2: want to throw this at you too. As far as

2086
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 2: the NFL goes, So Tristan Wurf's offensive lineman with Tampa, yep,

2087
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:17,880
Speaker 2: he was on a podcast and he said that he's

2088
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:23,160
Speaker 2: predicting the Buccaneers will go twelve and five this year.

2089
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:25,200
Speaker 2: What do you think about that, George? You think Tampa

2090
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 2: twelve and five gonna happen?

2091
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:33,080
Speaker 3: That sounds like something with Rooky says, I mean, really,

2092
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:34,080
Speaker 3: it really does.

2093
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:37,679
Speaker 2: With Rookie optimism right there.

2094
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, with who's throwing the ball.

2095
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, yeah, or Kyle Trask, Yeah, one of the two.

2096
01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 3: I actually think you're probably I think that the I

2097
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:51,160
Speaker 3: know that this is good that you're gonna be like,

2098
01:50:51,200 --> 01:50:53,559
Speaker 3: hold o, George, I actually think that they have a

2099
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:55,320
Speaker 3: better chance of going twelve and four.

2100
01:50:56,800 --> 01:50:58,439
Speaker 1: Now, now, granted, I think they have no chance of

2101
01:50:58,479 --> 01:50:59,000
Speaker 1: going twelve.

2102
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:02,160
Speaker 3: Well, actually, first thing is, he don't even know what

2103
01:51:02,200 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 3: the hell he's talking about.

2104
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:04,880
Speaker 2: Oh he said it, right, he said twelve and five.

2105
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:07,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I was about to say it. I was about saying.

2106
01:51:07,880 --> 01:51:10,120
Speaker 1: First thing is he don't.

2107
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:13,120
Speaker 2: Even playing seventeen? No, yeah, yeah, he said twelve and five.

2108
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:13,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2109
01:51:13,840 --> 01:51:19,400
Speaker 3: Second thing is is is I think that they have

2110
01:51:19,439 --> 01:51:21,759
Speaker 3: a better chance of going twelve and five with Kyle

2111
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:23,919
Speaker 3: Trask at quarterback than Baker Mayfield.

2112
01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:25,439
Speaker 1: We know who Baker Mayfield is.

2113
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 2: Wow, Well that's I disagree with you, Joe.

2114
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:32,920
Speaker 1: We don't know who Kyle Trask is. No, but can

2115
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:34,760
Speaker 1: can present.

2116
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:39,840
Speaker 3: A greater upside because I totally what is Baker's upside

2117
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:40,080
Speaker 3: to you?

2118
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I this is gonna be a little nuanced

2119
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:49,719
Speaker 2: because I half agree with you, half don't like Kyle

2120
01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:52,680
Speaker 2: Trask the unknown. I think you're better off as an

2121
01:51:52,760 --> 01:51:56,960
Speaker 2: organization exploring that, like, hey, let's just find out. Maybe

2122
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:59,680
Speaker 2: he's better, maybe he's not. But we know largely what

2123
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is and how far we're gonna go, like

2124
01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 2: what our ceiling truly is. But that doesn't mean you're

2125
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:08,479
Speaker 2: in a better position to go twelve and five.

2126
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:13,519
Speaker 3: Has all that position, I'm saying that you are. I'm

2127
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 3: saying that if I were betting, if you gave me

2128
01:52:17,120 --> 01:52:20,479
Speaker 3: odds right of them going twelve and five, I would

2129
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:24,160
Speaker 3: bet on Kyle Trash no way before I bet on

2130
01:52:24,280 --> 01:52:30,479
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield because hold on, because for for for Baker Mayfield,

2131
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a zero percent chance that that

2132
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 3: that can happen.

2133
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:39,320
Speaker 2: And for college for number one overall, pick Kyle Trask.

2134
01:52:39,400 --> 01:52:41,920
Speaker 2: I'm looking it up. How many passes you think he's

2135
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:43,320
Speaker 2: thrown in his NFL career?

2136
01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:44,759
Speaker 1: Jue zero?

2137
01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:48,599
Speaker 2: He has thrown nine passes in his NFL career.

2138
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 3: That matters none to me, So I it is so

2139
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:53,360
Speaker 3: experience does it matter?

2140
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:54,240
Speaker 1: No?

2141
01:52:54,320 --> 01:52:57,240
Speaker 2: Of course, experience, man, Okay, well that's got to matter.

2142
01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 3: No, And experience tells us that Baker Mayfield is not

2143
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,200
Speaker 3: taking his team to twelve to twelve and five, there's

2144
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 3: a zero percent chance that they go twelve and five.

2145
01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:10,720
Speaker 3: With Baker Mayfield starting all seventeen games.

2146
01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 2: There's a less than zero percent chance they go there.

2147
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:16,599
Speaker 1: No, there is the unknown chance.

2148
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:21,679
Speaker 3: So at least we can say, all right, that maybe

2149
01:53:21,720 --> 01:53:25,519
Speaker 3: this dude turns out to be freaking Brett Favre or

2150
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:28,720
Speaker 3: he turns out to be something spectacular.

2151
01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 1: No, we don't know.

2152
01:53:30,160 --> 01:53:34,360
Speaker 3: So there so I'm giving him a If I'm giving

2153
01:53:34,400 --> 01:53:37,519
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield a zero percent chance of them going twelve

2154
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:43,320
Speaker 3: and five, I am giving Kyle Trask a point seventy

2155
01:53:43,439 --> 01:53:45,040
Speaker 3: five percent chance they go.

2156
01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:49,240
Speaker 2: Point seven five. It's it's for negative fifty it's negative

2157
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:53,120

2158
01:53:53,200 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 2: nine passes George and his NFL career.

2159
01:53:55,240 --> 01:53:55,840
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

2160
01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:58,400
Speaker 2: It means zero passes.

2161
01:53:58,680 --> 01:54:02,439
Speaker 3: How many passes had Tom Brady thrown before Tom Brady started?

2162
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:04,439
Speaker 2: That's Tom Brady.

01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 3: That How many passes did did Steve Young throw before

2164
01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:09,120
Speaker 3: Steve Young threw?

2165
01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:11,519
Speaker 2: He threw many more than nine.

2166
01:54:11,880 --> 01:54:15,240
Speaker 3: No, I'm saying prior to him being the forty nine

2167
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:15,679
Speaker 3: ers starter.

2168
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was in Tampa, like he threw way more

2169
01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:21,200
Speaker 2: than nine passes before he start many.

2170
01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:26,240
Speaker 1: How many passes did Brett Favre throw before? What in Atlanta?

2171
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:29,400
Speaker 2: Well, not many in Atlanta, but he did not hit

2172
01:54:29,439 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 2: the grad running.

2173
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:32,080
Speaker 1: That's he didn't hit the crowd running.

2174
01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:36,120
Speaker 3: We got told how many passes did did Aaron Rodgers

2175
01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 3: throw in his first.

2176
01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:39,800
Speaker 1: Three four years? League?

2177
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:43,160
Speaker 2: Perfect? What the first year where they go like five

2178
01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:45,960
Speaker 2: and eight, six and start league?

2179
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 3: How how many? How many passes had Aaron Rodgers start?

2180
01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:54,800
Speaker 2: Okay? So Aaron Rodgers in his first three years? I

2181
01:54:54,840 --> 01:54:57,640
Speaker 2: can't do the quick math. Thirty one plus twenty eight,

2182
01:54:58,040 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 2: so fifty nine, okay, And that first year, George as

2183
01:55:01,920 --> 01:55:05,520
Speaker 2: a starter six and ten. That's the whole point. You

2184
01:55:05,640 --> 01:55:08,880
Speaker 2: have some of the best quarterbacks ever in their first

2185
01:55:08,920 --> 01:55:13,600
Speaker 2: season starting largely have awful records largely more times than not.

2186
01:55:19,360 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 2: I like how it has turned into a debate, because

2187
01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:24,560
Speaker 2: there's no doubt Tampa is not going twelve and five.

2188
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 2: But I like the Baker versus Trask thing. Very nice.

2189
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:31,360

2207
01:56:39,960 --> 01:56:43,000

2208
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:46,480
Speaker 2: they know somehow. They're like, yeah, let's twist the knife

2209
01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:49,440
Speaker 2: a little bit today. Boys, what do you say how

2212
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:01,040
Speaker 2: was maybe one hundred pounds the other day. He's quadzilla, Bro,

2213
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:05,560
Speaker 2: that is unbelievable. I think he did four reps without shoes.

2214
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:09,839
Speaker 2: Have you done that before? George? Have you squatted without shoes?

Speaker 1: No?

2216
01:57:12,200 --> 01:57:17,120
Speaker 3: Because that wasn't like a thing when I was playing.

2217
01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder how much more difficult it is to

2218
01:57:21,280 --> 01:57:24,880
Speaker 2: do it that way? But he went shoeless. What is

01:58:38,400 --> 01:58:41,880
Speaker 2: that the same one? It might be the case. I

2241
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:43,760
Speaker 2: don't know. I'd have to double check that for sure,
