Any trades, what's going to happen here? 30 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: You know, you always have those moments where you go, 31 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: I didn't see that one coming. So when you say, 32 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: or I'm gonna say, or I've thought, I don't know 33 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: how much buzz there is with this draft. And because 34 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: we don't have the marquee quarterbacks, we don't even have 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: we have a lot of wide receivers. You don't even 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: have that edge rusher that you go, boy, he's gonna 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: be great. This is one of those drafts where you go, yeah, 38 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: all right, we got a couple of wide receivers, he 39 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 1: got some offensive lineman, you got a great defensive back 40 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 1: or two. Not a lot of headline making moments here. 41 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: We don't have that Trevor Lawrence player in this draft. 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean something wild won't happen. After all the 43 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: drafts in Vegas, who knows, you could say and such 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: and such selects such and such is he here is 45 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: hey here, it is Vegas. But you go into the 46 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: week and you go, Okay, what are the possibilities here? 47 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: Because there'll be a team where you go, oh, boy, 48 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: like the Niners with Trey Lance, Wow, I didn't see 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: that one coming. Or will the Falcons take a quarterback? 50 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: Denver didn't take a quarterback? That means that they're going 51 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: to be taking Aaron Rodgers. They're gonna trade him. Patriots 52 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Oh, he found his Tom Brady, His Tom Brady, 53 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: Matt Jones. There's always something there and it'll be the 54 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: same this year, guaranteed. And it might be a player 55 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: that you're not that familiar with. It might be a 56 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: backstory you're not familiar with. It might be a team 57 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: that reaches a team that you know, all of a 58 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: sudden has somebody fall right into their laps. There could 59 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: be a trade. Do the Steelers take Kenny Pick? Do 60 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: they take Malik Willis? By the way, and I've said 61 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: this over the years, but you know we still buy 62 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: into it. Nobody tells you the truth, no one. Why 63 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: would they unless they want to give you information. You 64 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: know what the culprits are the agents, because the agents ago, hey, 65 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: you he want some information. I'm hearing this. That's why 66 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: I don't trust the agents. You know, I do have 67 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: some sources. Uh, you know, I have a source who's 68 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: a scout who said, hey, this is what I'm hearing. 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: With Jacksonville at the top, you know they're gonna go 70 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: with the guy who's either the safe pick in Hutchinson 71 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: at Michigan or Trayvon Walker, the edge rusher defensive player 72 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: out of Georgia who has a higher ceiling. That that's 73 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: when I'm hearing. And plus he went through all the 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: particulars with these players, being able to talk to them 75 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: or examine them or watch their workouts. So I trust 76 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: his information. He's also the one that told me that 77 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns were going to take Baker Mayfield, a 78 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: story that we had before anybody else did. But a 79 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 1: lot of people have agendas, and a lot of people 80 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: want to give you information, but they want to help 81 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: out their client. I'll go back to when I was 82 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: hosting the NBA Draft on the Mothers Ship and I 83 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: had an agent come up to me and said, are 84 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: you going to address the knee injuries? Who was the 85 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: kid out of Washington State drafted by Portland, Brandon Roy. Yeah. 86 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: So he says, you're gonna you guys gonna talk about 87 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: the needs and I said, well, I'll leave that to 88 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: my analyst, you know, but he goes, yeah, I mean, 89 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: he won't stay in the league that long got bad knees. 90 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: So then you know, you start asking your analysts there said, hey, 91 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: how is Brandon Roy? You know, he could be Rookie 92 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: of the Year. One of my analysts said, I said, 93 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: does he have you know, knee issues? Yeah, but I 94 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: don't don't know the severity of it. I said, well, 95 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: I just had somebody who said, hey, you know, he's 96 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: got like a degenerative knee and issue. And I was told, 97 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: you're going to get a lot of that from agents 98 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: or people close to agents, sources closed too. So it's 99 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: a game that's played. And I've been used before where 100 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: somebody will tell you something and you go, no, no, 101 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: I got it on a good, good, you know, a 102 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: good authority. And then you realize. I think I got played, 103 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: And having been at the Mothership for eighteen years, I 104 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 1: saw that happen to our analysts, you know, even as 105 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: great as like Peter Gammon's I remember he was given 106 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: information about the next head coach I think for Tampa 107 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: Bay and it turned out that it wasn't true. But 108 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: you know, somebody was trying to help their clients. It's 109 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: a game, and that's why you get a little closer, maybe, 110 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday. Then you start to 111 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: hear a little bit more information. Then it starts to 112 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: get a little bit more serious. But all this stuff 113 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: leading up to it, all these mock drafts, all of 114 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: that stuff that's for entertainment purposes only. And what I've 115 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: found is it does introduce you to certain players that 116 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: you might not be aware of, like Sauce Gardener. I 117 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: was told by a scout that guy's a top five pick. 118 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: And I even talked to you know, my source yesterday 119 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: and I said, is Sauce Gardner is still going to 120 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: be a top five pick. He goes he could be 121 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: the best player in the draft, Cincinnati defensive back. But 122 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: my source said, the best player doesn't always go number one. 123 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Keep that in mind because a lot of times there'll 124 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: be somebody who's better, or have a longer career or 125 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: more of an impact, but quarterbacks are normally taken. How 126 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: many times in the last twenty years have we had 127 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: a dry aft where we didn't have a quarterback take 128 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: in number one? Overall? Because I can remember Jadeveon Clowney, 129 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: Eric Fisher, Oh, good call out of Central Michigan. Yea call. 130 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't a good call by the Chiefs. He was 131 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: a nice player for them, he was. But but we 132 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: never say he was a bust. I think he made 133 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl or two. I had a nice career there. Okay, 134 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: he was not number one pick Alzheimer, Okay. And Jadeveon 135 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: Clowney to me, has never lived up to the tackle 136 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: he made in the Outback Bowl, although he has made 137 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: three Pro Bowls, yeah, three, So he's not He's not 138 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: the impact player that you know, we thought he was 139 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: going to be. Yes, two thousand and eight, Jake Long 140 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: tackle on a Michigan from Miami. Four Pro bowls. Nice career. 141 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: I got de Mario Williams defensive out in North Carolina State, 142 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: went to the Houston Texans. That was the big debate 143 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: between Reggie Bush and Mario Williams signability Yes, and then 144 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden like we can't sign Reggie Bush 145 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills take Mario MS. You're going sign ability? Yeah? Boy? 146 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: Then Miles Garrett twenty seventeen at Texas A and m he's, 147 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: you know, first team All Pro He's yeah, he's he's 148 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: a great player. But I you're gonna have that this 149 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: year where you know, do you take the safe pick? 150 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: Do you take Aidan Hutchinson, do you take Trey Von 151 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: Walker that's gonna be or is there a surprise? As 152 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: Peter King has pointed out in his Muddy Morning Quarterback column, 153 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: all right, we'll get phone calls coming up, Seaton. What 154 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: kind of poll question do you have for me? Well, 155 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: we could go with one that's semi NFL draft related 156 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: and that where will Deebo end up? See? That to 157 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: me is going to be the big storyline here. There's 158 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: two storylines that I'm looking at. This broke last week 159 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: when we're on vacation, and Deebo's probably looking around going, uh, 160 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: do you see what diary killed got? Did you see 161 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: what Damante Adam's got um. I'm every bit what those 162 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: players are and more, he's more valuable to his team 163 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 1: the Niners, then Tyree Hill and Davante Adams were to 164 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: their teams, and certainly I would rank it as Debo 165 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: and then Davante Adams and Tyree Hill. What Debo did 166 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: is basically move the chains, like what do you need 167 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: me to do? Because I got a quarterback who I 168 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: know all he does is win, But I gotta run 169 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: the ball and catch the ball, and I got to 170 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: do everything here. Yeah, but if you look at it's 171 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: been a crazy year for the forty nine ers, right 172 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: because if you go back to the last draft, where 173 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: now they were getting Mac Jones at number three, Yeah, 174 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: they were getting Mack at number three, and then all, no, wait, 175 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: we got Trey And now who is Trey got a 176 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 1: start over Jimmy? When are we trading Jimmy? Is Jimmy 177 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: even gonna be on the roster in twenty two? From 178 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: what I was told, there's not a trademarket for Jimmy Garoppolo. 179 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: Now Debo wants out, and Debo wants out. Would money 180 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: solve all of this? Though? That's what I'm curious because 181 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: if I'm Trey Lance, I gotta be, you know, say 182 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: in the management and I really need deebo in here. 183 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: Have I gonna be taken over a starting quarterback here? 184 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: So that is one storyline. The other one's Baker Mayfield. 185 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: And I'll go with my source who said Baker Mayfield. 186 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: He thinks after the first round is when you might 187 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: see Baker Mayfield traded teams if they get their quarterback. 188 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: How many quarterbacks are taken? You know, I'm hearing Sam 189 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: how At North Carolina is a and Matt Matt Corrall 190 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: as we talked about. I think Kenny Pickett is probably 191 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: a second round town. I think all these quarterbacks in 192 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: a normal draft or second round talents, but there's no quarterbacks, 193 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: so somebody's got to be the first quarterback off the board. 194 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: And I think Baker Mayfield probably gets traded after the 195 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: first round once teams, maybe second round. But you know, 196 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: when you have that day, you know the rest of 197 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: the night to figure things out, and you go, all right, well, 198 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: who who are we taking when we missed out on here? 199 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: All right, why don't you see if we'll give him 200 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: a fourth round draft pick? For if I'm Seattle, if 201 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: you miss out on a quarterback if you're you're looking 202 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: for one, all right, give him a fourth round pick 203 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, see if they'll split his salary 204 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: with us or something. Yeah, Paul, how about Thursday night, 205 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: after the first round completes, we have the guys nobody 206 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: wants draft? Well, one round draft and Baker Mayfield could go, 207 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolov could go, and you have to give up 208 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: like a fixed price and you got a fixed contract. 209 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: That's good TV. Yeah, I think Baker's gonna have to wait. 210 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: And look, I know this is a click bait when 211 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: it comes to Baker Mayfield, and it'll stay that way 212 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: because the Mothership and NFL Network, they'll milk it for 213 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: all it's worth because we're gonna find out where Bake. 214 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: You know, nobody wants Baker Mayfield, it feels like, but 215 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk about Baker Mayfield, Deebo Samuel. Where's 216 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: it gonna end up? You got a trade for him, 217 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: and then you gotta pay him. That's one of those 218 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: crazy ones. I give your Green Bay. Do you end 219 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: up paying what you would have paid Demante Adams? But 220 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to give up a couple of 221 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: first roun picks or whatever you're going to give up 222 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: for Gebo Samuel. That's how crazy it could turn out. 223 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: But wide receivers are going to be front and center. 224 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna guess that, uh, you know, first pick, 225 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Jaguars take dray Bon Walker, then you 226 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: go okay, and then the Lions will be on the 227 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: clock with the Lions take Malik Will? Would they go 228 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: that early on a quarterback? Like? These are the things. 229 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: This is how you play it up. You know, you 230 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: got to add to the suspense there. What other pole 231 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: questions do we have today? Seaton? Well, just this is 232 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: a totally random thought that I'm seeing just off of Twitter, 233 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with a poll question. But isn't 234 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: it crazy how comfortable we are? Kyle Kuzma tweeted this. 235 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: I know we're numb to a lot of things, but 236 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: in this society, a seven foot center just cast a 237 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: three to win a playoff game. It's crazy. How many 238 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: super tall you know what formerly would have been big 239 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: men are such great outside shooters, and that it's just 240 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: not even a thought anymore. It's the Dirk Nubitsky effect. Yeah, 241 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: when you think about twenty years later, Dirk Nuvitski. But 242 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: also if you look at how players are developed in Europe, 243 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: they're developed to be either you know, your ball handling 244 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: skills as a seven footer or if you're a six footer. 245 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: They want you to have the fundamentals to end to 246 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: be able to shoot, to be able to have great form, 247 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: be able to shoot free throws like these are all 248 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: important things for those players. And I think you're starting 249 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: to see the trickle down of you know, Joe Lmbid 250 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: can hit a jumper, Carl Anthony Towns can shoot outside, 251 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: you know the Joker can. There's so many of them 252 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: that can. But you're right, it's commonplace now where you go? Man, 253 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: all right, seven footer on the perimeter. Who would have thought, yes, Seaton, 254 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: we could go with basically off of our next guests. 255 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: Maybe a little better question for him, which team down 256 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: three and one is most likely to pull off a comeback? 257 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: So you have Atlanta right now, they're down three one 258 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: to the Heat, Denver's down to the Warriors, Toronto down 259 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: to the sixers, and then Bowls down three Onelwaukee, any 260 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: of them coming back? Well? New Orleans is the one 261 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: series that I'm curious about because it's tied to two 262 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: games apiece. The Devin Booker situation. Could Zion Williamson play right, 263 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: because we keep saying, well, where's Zion? He should be playing, 264 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: He's dunking and the whole thing. Okay, Ben Simmons, then 265 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: we're going now, you can't have him play? Aren't they 266 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: sort of the same that you're saying to Ben Simmons, 267 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: He's been ten days pain free. Shouldn't he play? Zion Williamson? 268 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: Put him in there, Let's bring him back. Yes, he 269 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: If you had those guys play, aren't you sort of 270 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: setting them up for failure? I get that there's some 271 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: upside to it, but we'll talk about that. Jeff Van 272 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: Gundy will join us.

Over the last couple 306 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: of years. All that star power has, or at least 307 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: it did, make the Nets a favor to win the title. 308 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: And we've seen a lot of teams become championship contenders 309 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: after acquiring multiple superstars. I mean, look at the Lakers, 310 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, look at what the La Rams did. You 311 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: know the Nets first round matchup with the Celtics is 312 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: there's you know, this building a roster. Celtics are all 313 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: homegrown if you look at it. Jason Tatum, j Brownmark 314 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: is smart, all drafted by Boston. You know, you have 315 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: the Nets trying to throw in Kyrie with KD and 316 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: it's not working. But give credit.

Well, 328 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: I thought, Actually, Brooklyn played an outstanding first two games 329 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: on the road. They gave themselves chances to win in 330 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: both games. They shot the ball better than fifty percent 331 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: in both games against a great Celtics defense. So I 332 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: really liked the way they played the first two games. 333 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: It was Game three. It was the turnovers combined with 334 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: Durant obviously not playing or Irving playing particularly well, and 335 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 1: the other guys, the complimentary players around them other than 336 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: Bruce Brown didn't have good nights either. So it was 337 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: a bad night all the way around, and one they 338 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: could ill afford. Would you sign up Kyrie for a 339 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: long term contract if you're the NTS, Well, it's tough 340 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: choices now, you know, because right now their depth has 341 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: been compromised. Joe Harris has been out most of the year, 342 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: so very good for them from a shooting standpoint, good rebounder, 343 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: and he's got stability to him. And then you know, 344 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, if you're gonna say you're gonna trade Harden 345 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: and in this one year, what you're going to get 346 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: back for Harden is Seth Curry, who's hobbled, and Andre Drummond. 347 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: That's a lose from a talent standpoint too. So I 348 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: think you have to look at your roster in totality. 349 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: I know this because guys don't play as much now, 350 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: either minutes in the game or over the course of 351 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: the season. You have to have quality depth and that's 352 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: what right now the Celtics have built. They've built a 353 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: strong eight nine man rotation, and right now that the 354 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: Nets don't have enough depth due to injury to be 355 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: able to put it together and make a championship run. 356 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: Would you sign Kyrie long term? I'd have to look 357 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: at all those factors Udan. I mean, obviously he's had 358 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: durability issues for many different reasons, and my team has 359 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: had durability issues. You know, the talent is obviously a 360 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: unique offensive talent to handle and all that shot making. 361 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: He hasn't played very well in the last couple of 362 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: games here after a great second half in Game one. 363 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: Just in general, forgetting Kyrie for the second I think 364 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: you always have to ask yourself, and I don't know 365 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: what he'd get. Let's say, make forty million. Are you 366 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: better getting one forty million dollar player or are you 367 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: better getting you know, not as good as the forty million, 368 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: but having two really good twenty million dollar players. I 369 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 1: think you have to think about how you want to 370 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: surround Simmons and Durant because those two are there, and 371 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: you know you're gonna have to build around those two. 372 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: Let's go back a week or so ago, it felt 373 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: like the nets, you know, they're saying, hey, Ben's you know, 374 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, he's been pain free, he's been working out, 375 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: Like why why are they setting him up to be 376 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: the fall guy from the standpoint of oh, lad, you're 377 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: not playing again, Why why not just say we believe 378 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: he's out, we're not expecting him to play in this 379 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: series instead of hey, this could maybe tonight. Like I 380 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: just don't understand the philosophy unless they're trying to kind 381 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: of push him into come on, let's go, let's play, 382 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: let's let's suck it up here. Well, Dan, I think, 383 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: at least what I've read, those are the sources saying 384 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: that he's, you know, on track to play in game four. 385 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: When we've talked to Steve Nash prior to the games 386 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: that we've done, he's always said, you know, I think 387 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: it's too early to say. And so the reports that 388 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: were coming out of whatever camp never matched up with 389 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 1: what Steve Nash was saying to us, which was, hold on, 390 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 1: he hasn't even practiced yet. And again, I have no 391 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: idea what's going on. People who I think it's hard 392 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: to make these hard and fast pronouncements that he's either 393 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: letting his team down or he's injured, Like none of 394 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: us really know if he's truly injured, if it's a 395 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: mental health situation, or he could play, he's just not 396 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: comfortable to play. And so I find it a really 397 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: odd situation, and I certainly am going to remain judgment 398 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 1: free on him and what he stands for. Yeah, it 399 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: just feels like and all Steve Nash asked to say is, look, 400 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: he's not playing, that's it, and that if he does 401 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: come back then we would have said, oh wow, okay, 402 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: you know, hey, he's progressing farther along like Zion Williamson. 403 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: Why is Zion not playing? I mean he can can 404 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: he play fifteen minutes, ten minutes, twelve minutes? Why why 405 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: would you not put him back in or why is 406 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: he not being put back in? Well, that's an interesting 407 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: question right there. If he's I think right now, fee, 408 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I think New Orleans is going to win 409 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,199 Speaker 1: that series. Once Booker went out and let's say he 410 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: can't come back, I think they have even though they 411 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: were ten games under five hundred during the regular season 412 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: and Phoenix was sixty four and eighteen. I think offensive 413 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: talent wise, New Orleans has the better team with the 414 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: addition of McCollum and Valancunas in the off season. But 415 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: if you throw in Zion for fifteen minutes a game 416 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: off the bench, I mean, then I think they become 417 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: the prohibitive favorite over these last three games. So I've 418 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: got to believe that, you know, Williamson just isn't healthy 419 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: enough to play, because why wouldn't you want to play 420 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: if you were healthy enough In the playoffs. But I 421 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: also look back to Michael Jordan's second year in the league, 422 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: he breaks his foot. If we fast forward to now, 423 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan doesn't play in the playoffs, probably, I mean, 424 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: and really that was his coming out party when he 425 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: faced the Celtics in the Garden and had that dominating 426 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: series and they lost. But now it's about caution, load management, 427 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: all of that. So I'm just curious. And it's not Hey, 428 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: the guys in my day era were tougher. It's just 429 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: the philosophy I think is different than it used to be. Oh, 430 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: it's absolutely different. But it's not just different in the playoffs, Dan, 431 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: you know that. It's it's different, uh, in how you 432 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: work in the summer. Sometimes I think we take more 433 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: pride in how we work out in the summer than 434 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: how we play in the winter. Um. I always hear 435 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: about guys having great summers. I used to make We 436 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: used to make light of one guy when in back 437 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: in the late nineties early two thousands that we competed against. 438 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: All they ever would say about him was what a 439 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: great summer we had? This guy had always say, well, 440 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: how about having a great April and pay for one? 441 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: You know, I just think there's a lot different. Caution 442 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: is is a word that you know is, you know, 443 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: very in vogue, and I think the one thing that 444 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: used to be asked was well, if this was a 445 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: playoff game, could he go, yeah, that's out now too, 446 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: Like it's just different. It's not different bad or good. 447 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: The league looks at playing through things much differently than 448 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 1: fifteen twenty years ago. That may be good or that 449 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: may be bad. It depends on your perspective. Talking to 450 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gundy, the analyst for ESPN and ABC, I 451 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: brought this up with Commissioners Silver a couple of weeks ago, 452 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: where I said, how about you just say you got 453 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: to play in a certain number of games or certain 454 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: number of minutes to qualify for first team, second team, 455 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: third Team, All NBA, all your postseason awards. You have 456 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: to check in at a certain level. Therefore, you know 457 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: you're going to get those players because of all the 458 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: bonees that are attached to first, second, third team or 459 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: winning the MVP or Defensive Player that you're all of 460 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: those things. What do you think of that idea? Love 461 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: the idea, unfortunately, because like you just said, bonuses are 462 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: tied to it all. You'd have to work that out 463 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: with the Players Association and they're never gonna give on that. 464 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: But I do think going forward in the next collective 465 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: bargaining you have to I know it sounds strange because 466 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,239 Speaker 1: you don't give incentives in other professions to show up 467 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 1: at work, like, hey, today, if you show up at work, 468 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: we're going to give you the chance to be all 469 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: first team Fire Department. But in this situation, the way 470 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: the trends are heading, and I think in a negative 471 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: way as far as for fans, they really don't know 472 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: oftentimes going to a game, buying tickets for a game, tune, 473 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: and into a game who's going to play. So I 474 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: think to give extra incentive to either games played, minutes 475 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: played for all the awards, I think is an outstanding 476 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: idea that I think the commissioner should think very long 477 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: about trying to include in the next collective bargaining agreement. 478 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: I think you should be able to buy star insurance, 479 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: so you play an overage on your ticket and let's 480 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: say you're showing up to see Steph Curry and he 481 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: doesn't play and you get your money back, or Luca. 482 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: You're showing up to see Luca and you know you've 483 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: got that in that Star insurance. What do you think, 484 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: I like it. I think it's also unfortunate that we're 485 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: having that conversation, you know, But I listen, I do 486 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: think we have to protect the customer and the consumer. 487 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: Right now, we're on this high that you know, people 488 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: are watching, they're excited about NBA basketball, But we can 489 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: never take for granted the fans and that they drive 490 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: the freight. And I don't think Adam Silver takes him 491 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: for granted. I hope we as teams and as a 492 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: league don't take them for granted because once you're not 493 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: giving them the product they think is warranted for the price, 494 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, obviously they're gonna they're gonna spend their money elsewhere. 495 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: So I think we have to have I don't know 496 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: if it's insurance, and I think Dan, I don't know 497 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: about you, but I think fans understand the difference between 498 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: legit injury and just taking a night off when they 499 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: choose to take a night off. Yeah, but we can't 500 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: ask that question, Jeff. We're not allowed to ask Ben Simmons, Hey, 501 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: where don't you playing? Like? No, you're not. Unfortunately, because 502 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: now even and it used, Hey listen, the media is 503 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: a lot different to Dan. You used to be held 504 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: to count after every game. You didn't get a choice. 505 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: You know, the reporters were allowed into the locker room 506 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: and you could run away, but it was it was 507 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: harder back back then to run away. Now with the zooms, 508 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: teams don't make people available. They don't have to answer 509 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: for either their playoffentimes, and that's why I admire the 510 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: players that winner loss, good game or bad game. They 511 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: stand before the media and they're not just there when 512 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: they're giving them praise. They're there when they're taking on 513 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: hard questions. And that's why I admired what duranted. It 514 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: had to be hard, you know, after game three, to 515 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: be disappointed in the result in your own play, but 516 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: to stand there and take it. That's what part of 517 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: your pay is for your responsibility is form. But now 518 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: it's harder, and frankly, a lot of the questions are 519 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: more softballish because relying on players and the players agents 520 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: for leaks and sources off the record. So a lot 521 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: has changed in the climate of how the game is 522 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: covered too. Is James Harden getting old right before our 523 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: very eyes? Well, I think he certainly hasn't played to 524 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: the MVP level that we're accustomed to, and that was 525 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and in Philly. But I would not underestimate 526 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: his greatness. I think I always thought the dynamic between 527 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: he and Mbid were was going to be a challenge 528 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: because Harden has a style that's very unique and how 529 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: he dominates the ball and Inbid when they play through him, 530 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: whether it's in the high post, the elbow or the 531 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: low post, is absolutely dominant. So it's it's a hard 532 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: dance to master. Actually, I think they've played together exceptionally well. 533 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: I think they've fit together better than I thought. I 534 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: just don't think Harden has been as efficient from a 535 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: shooting standpoint as they need him to be if they're 536 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: going to win it all. I'll leave you with this 537 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: bigger disappointment this season. The Lakers or the Nets, Well, 538 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: I think it all is where you start with your expectations. 539 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: I never thought the Lakers were good, Like I didn't 540 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: understand the height for their team. You know they were. 541 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: They have an often injured team. They took away and 542 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: stripped down all depth, and I think depth is incredibly 543 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: important in today's NBA because of games missed and people 544 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: don't play big minutes. So my expectations for the Lakers, 545 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: I can't say I didn't think they'd make the play in. 546 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: I thought they would be, you know, an eight nine 547 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: ten type of team, but I'm not disappointed. I thought 548 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: their roster was not very good. The Nets, on the 549 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: other hand, I thought going into the year before you 550 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: knew about Irving's vaccination status and the inability to play Hardens, 551 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know he was going to be discontent and 552 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: all of that being said January, I think it was 553 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: twenty third. The Nets were in first place in the 554 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: Eastern Conference at twenty nine and sixteen, and then Durrant's 555 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: injury wiped him out. So you took you know, Irving's 556 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: vaccination status, Hardon's discontent, which led to Simmons not being 557 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: able to play, Joe Harris being out all year, then Rant. 558 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: They just got hit with a tidal wave of roster 559 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: issues that truly could not be overcome. And I think 560 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: Boston is the best team in the NBA. I think 561 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: they will win it if they can stay healthy. I 562 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: think they're that good defensively and roster construction wise, and 563 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: so I think they got a horrible first round opponent 564 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: as well. So everything that could go wrong, so far 565 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: for the nets has gone wrong? What's the coolest thing 566 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: in your office? Um? Let me look here, um my 567 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: Mount Killing m Jaro picture. Dan. I climbed Mount Killing 568 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: m and Jaro about eight years ago. And when I 569 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: say I whimpered to the finish line, I basically had 570 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: to be dragged to the finish line because we made 571 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,959 Speaker 1: a midnight walk up was the last day on like 572 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: two hours sleep, and the guys who are our guides, 573 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: they basically told the friend I did it with, you 574 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: got to go up and see your guy. He's having 575 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: a mental breakdown because at like four am in the 576 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: cold of Mount Killer and Jaro, I was ready to break, 577 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: did you I didn't, but literally if it had been 578 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: five more steps I might have. And then the climb 579 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: down was actually harder than the climb up, and they 580 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: were just dragging me down. I mean they were just like, 581 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: this dude is weak minded, and I was so you 582 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: know that I made it all the way to the top. 583 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: Just you know. I worked for this guy Dan like 584 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: long ago named Gordon Hiz was a longtime assistant with 585 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz. But I worked with him at Providence 586 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: College and he used to always tell players despite yourself, 587 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna be great like because and that was me 588 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: on that climb, despite myself, I made it to the top. 589 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: I never understood why we don't celebrate the sherpas more. 590 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: You know, Sir Edmund Hillary, I don't give a damn 591 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: about you. It's the sherpa who was carrying all your gear. Listen. 592 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: I could have paid I think it was like a 593 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: hundred more bucks for them, not so I didn't have 594 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: to carry the fifty pound backpack that I was carrying. 595 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: Like I waste money all the time. I didn't spend 596 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 1: it on that all right, because I was trying to 597 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: be tough. That was stupid. But what used to kill 598 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: me is we would get up in the morning. I 599 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 1: think we're flying up on this hike, and these dudes 600 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: are breaking down the camp and they're like sprinting bias 601 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 1: and they're they finished the next day's camp. They had 602 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: to be there two hours early. They're cooking. I'm like, 603 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: how do they do?

I had gotten 633 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,760 Speaker 1: home from work and I walked from my car into 634 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: my kitchen and by the time I got to my kitchen, 635 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: it was like, it sound like it was pouring rain 636 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: outside and I was like, dang, I don't remember it 637 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: raining out there. And then I started walking around my house. 638 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that's funny. It sounds like the 639 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 1: rains coming from my dining room. I turned on the 640 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: lights and the whole ceiling had crashed down onto the 641 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: dining room table because a pipe had burst on the 642 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 1: second floor.

We're actually 672 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,439 Speaker 1: talking about mountain climbing during the break, Yes, Pauling. So 673 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: I've read a lot about Mount Everest. I think everybody 674 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: knows about Mount Everest. And is Mount Kilimanjaro. Is that 675 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,240 Speaker 1: a mountain? Is that mountain climbing or is that mountain 676 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: like treking and hiking? Is there a difference between the two. 677 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 1: Do you have to use like cables and clips and 678 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 1: stuff when your mountin climbing? I think you. I guess 679 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 1: it depends on what mountain you're climbing. I'm looking at 680 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: Mount Kilimanjarow and it seems to be like trekking poles 681 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: and backpacks. Yes, I think that's what they are. Yeah, Seed. 682 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,200 Speaker 1: So then is mountain climbing basically just hiking but up 683 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: a mountain, whereas rock climbing is with ropes and all 684 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 1: that stuff. And what's spelunking that's caves isn't it spelunking caves? 685 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,399 Speaker 1: Have you guys ever climbed a mountain? You've done major 686 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: hikes before, I know, yeah, but not mountains. Um, what's 687 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: the highest elevation you ever got up? You and your people? Uh, 688 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: let's see how high was I I've been very high, 689 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 1: but I thought you've been forced to height and hadn't 690 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: been on a mountain. The rugged mountains of West Virginia 691 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 1: got me extremely high. I don't know. Let me see 692 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: in Mexico. I've climbed some pretty high elevation there and 693 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 1: you don't want that elevation to hit you and you're like, 694 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: I can't breathe.
