But before we get into what we 50 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: are going to talk about on today's show, which is 51 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: some breaking news that happened just about an hour before 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: we recorded the podcast, let's start with, as we always do, 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: what we're not discussing on today's show. Here's what did 54 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: not make the cut. Matt Fitzpatrick winning the US Open. 55 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: It was a thrilling finish. I'm sure you were locked 56 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 2: in for the final, you know, for the final eighteen 57 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: on Sunday to Monday. Serena playing Wimbledon. That actually is exciting, 58 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: and Bart Scott saying Peyton Manning was scarier for defenses 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: than Tom Brady. That actually doesn't surprise me at all. However, 60 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: we are still in the afterbirth, if you will, of 61 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 2: the NBA finals of the NBA season. So we're going 62 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 2: to start with the NBA, and I think start with 63 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: some NBA breaking news. Demonse, Oh, look at you see. 64 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: I don't even know if you did this on purpose, 65 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: but today is our first show post NBA, pre NFL. 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: We're technically the only major sport going on as baseball, 67 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: and you are wearing a Mets Jersey that I don't 68 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: know where you got or how you have. 69 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, they won last night, just showing support. 70 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: Oh okay, Oh did they Oh I was unaware. 71 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 4: No, no, no, I got you just now. I got 72 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 4: you ways sooner than But they didn't win last night. 73 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: I don't think they even had a game. 74 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: Okay, my guess is they did have a game, and 75 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: they might have won. They're actually quite good. So let's 76 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 2: find out if you did back to get me. The 77 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: thing with baseball is they play almost every day. The 78 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: Mets lost last night, so you did get well played, 79 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: well played, even though it was a little bit of 80 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: luck involved. You got me way sooner than expected. You 81 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: got me live on the show. That's no problem. All right, 82 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: what are are we starting with? Let's get to the 83 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: actual show. 84 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: Sham's report. Kyrie and Nets are to impass. Yeah, might 85 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 4: be a free agent soon and seems like the Lakers, Clippers, 86 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: and Nicks are interested. 87 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: Yep. 88 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: So did like Katie and Kyrie like have a fallout? 89 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: You know what happens here and what happens next. 90 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: Okay, No, I don't think Katie and Kyrie had a fallout. 91 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: I now listen, I'm not reporting anything on this, But 92 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: from what I deduce, it's not about Katie or Kyrie 93 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: having a fallout. It's about the Nets trying to retake 94 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: control of their franchise. The Nets wanted Kevin Durant, he 95 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: wanted Kyrie Irving, so they remade the franchise in their image. 96 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 3: It seemed like good idea. 97 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: Then when Katie missed his first year and Kyrie was 98 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: in and out that first year, they made him get 99 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 2: rid of Kenny Atkinson, which appears to have been a 100 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: huge mistake, at least in my opinion. 101 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: Kenny Atkinson's going to be in the show. 102 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: I think actually the DeAndre Jordan you had to sign 103 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: DeAndre Jordan, you that had to give DeAndre Jordan minutes 104 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: that that was a mistake, And so much of the 105 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: drama surrounding the Nets over the last couple of years 106 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 2: is not the fault of Kevin Durant, except the fact 107 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: that he, you know, teamed up. 108 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: With Kyrie Irving. 109 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving's one of the least reliable excellent players in 110 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: sports history. 111 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: That's not an overstatement. 112 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: Reliability from a personality standpoint, from a professionalism standpoint, and 113 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: from an injury standpoint. He's about as unreliable as any 114 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: future Hall of Famer in any sport that I can remember. 115 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: And now I think the. 116 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: Nets are in a spot where they're like, we're gonna 117 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: be damned if we're about to watch you opt out 118 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: of this last year of your contract and then give 119 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: you a four year max. So I think that it 120 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: would appear soured the relationship. Kyrie is doing what he does, 121 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: going on Twitter and tweeting, you know, indecipherable memes. You 122 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: just tweeted a gif of brother moozone from The Wire, 123 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: which I listen. I am as big of a Wire 124 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: fan as anyone in the world. Once upon a time, 125 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: I thought I was writing a book on the seventy 126 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 2: five most who our best characters in the Wire. All 127 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 2: I know i'd do is lists, so I actually sketched 128 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: that out. But I can't decipher that Kyrie tweet. But 129 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: here's what I know. The Nets are playing a dangerous 130 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: game because as unreliable as Kyrie may or may not be, 131 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: he is still clearly and unequivocally your second best player, 132 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: and your third best player might be more unreliable in 133 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: Ben Simmons, and he could walk for nothing. I know 134 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: everyone is saying, oh, well, the teams with cap space 135 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: like San Antonio or Orlando, He's not going to go there. 136 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: Agreed. 137 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: The Knicks would make the cap space and he could 138 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: still live in New Jersey and he could just sign 139 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: with the Knicks. 140 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 3: Sign with the Knicks outright. 141 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: Obviously, the Lakers would do what they could to try 142 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: to sign and trade for Kyrie. We've been talking about 143 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: a three team, Russell Westbrook to somewhere, picks and role 144 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: players to the Nets, Kyrie Irving to the Lakers. 145 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: We've been talking about the show for six months. 146 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's plaw, if that's realistic, but 147 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: I know Sham's put them on the list, and he 148 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: put the Clippers on the list. 149 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 3: Go ahead. 150 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 4: You think Kyrie would rather go to the Knicks than 151 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 4: the Lakers, No, but it is he could teams pushing 152 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 4: pushing for him. 153 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 2: Well, the Lakers cannot sign him as a free agent 154 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: like Kyrie Irving can opt out of his deal. The 155 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: Knicks can make a few moves which they will be 156 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: able to make, and he could just sign there. The 157 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: Lakers would have to execute a very complicated trade that 158 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: would involve a team having to get Russell Westbrook and 159 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: the Nets would have to cooperate. So it's just a 160 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: lot harder to get to the Lakers or the Clippers. 161 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: But we have been talking about the honeymoon period with 162 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: the Brooklyn Nets ending for quite some time. Little like 163 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: inside basketball stuff, Joe Side, the owner keeps firing team presidents, 164 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: like they went through another team president this year, a 165 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: guy I actually knew a bit. He's not happy they 166 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: would appear the. 167 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: New York Daily News report of this. 168 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: I think he's not happy with the revenue compared to 169 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: the money outlaid. Obviously not happy with In the three 170 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: years of kat Kyrie year run, Year one out and 171 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: round one, Katie and Kyrie don't play in the playoffs. 172 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: Year two out and round two, Kyrie only plays part 173 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: of the second round. 174 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: Year three, the. 175 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: Only team in the league swept in Round one. But 176 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: I understand why they don't want to give Kyrie the 177 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: full max. I wouldn't want to give Kyrie the full max. 178 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: But you're running the risk of what are you going 179 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: to do? Try to reset the thing during another year 180 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: of Kevin Durant the tail end of his prime. It's dangerous, 181 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: but this is the you know, this is the cost 182 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: of your own decisions, which is empowering Durant, which meant 183 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: empowering Kyrie to a position that he had that Kyrie 184 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 2: Flatley had not earned and had not shown the responsibility 185 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 2: to be able to deserve, if you will. And after 186 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: the year he was promoting himself to assistant GM, which 187 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: is I'm sure these shocked negotiations aren't going well. It's 188 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: like I was gonna be negotiating with myself, fellas. All right, 189 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: what's next? 190 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 4: Golden State Warriors keeping Kenny Atkinson's but Kenny Atkinson Sorry, yep, 191 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 4: but there's still change to come. Wiggins is in his 192 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 4: last year of his deal, Looney's about to be a 193 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 4: free agent, and pools up for any sension. Yeah, Steph 194 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 4: thinks that Kamingo, Wiseman and Pool were the next big three. 195 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: Yep. 196 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 4: The Warriors seem to be building for the future, but 197 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 4: still are also chasing a title next yep? Is that possible? 198 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 4: Can you do that? 199 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: Well? I think they showed you could do it this year. 200 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: They didn't trade They had two lottery picks. They not 201 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: only did they not trade them, they drafted two of 202 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: the youngest players in the draft in Kaminga and Moody. 203 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: Two guys who didn't see the court at all in 204 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 2: the finals. Right. They drafted Wiseman a couple of years ago, 205 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: the year they had the was the number two pick, 206 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: and he never played the flat just never played. And 207 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: now he's been hurt. So that's not because they didn't 208 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: want him to play. So they kept all those assets. 209 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 3: And just won the title. 210 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 2: Now, right now, they're the favorites in Vegas to win 211 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 2: next year. I do not buy that, and I understand 212 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 2: that I am setting myself up. 213 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: Did you know D. L. Hugly? You know? D. L. 214 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: Hugly is obviously you don't know, you absolutely know. 215 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, if I if I seen him that hugely 216 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 4: sounds familiar, he had a. 217 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: TV show, you would absolutely recognize him. I'm gonna show 218 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 2: you his face real quick. The reason I'm bringing up 219 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: is this guy is putting me on his TikTok page. 220 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: My old Andrew Wiggins take. That Andrew Wiggins take is 221 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: gonna outlive me. 222 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 3: So hold on, that's D. L. 223 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 4: Huger. 224 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and so of course, so all these folks 225 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: roasting me for the Wiggans teake, Well, eventually that's kinda 226 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 2: have a show play. 227 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 3: So let me give you guys. 228 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: Another one, man, I don't think the Warriors win another 229 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: title anytime soon. I just don't you. I'm gonna say 230 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: something else. I you went title at last forever, it 231 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: always counts. There is no asterisk, none of that. I 232 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: didn't think that team was this great. They just won 233 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: the title and never faced elimination. I didn't think they 234 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: were that great. So who should be the favorites? The 235 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 2: damn Milwaukee Bucks obviously should be the favorites. Okay, And 236 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: in the West, I the Clippers are gonna be demonstrably better, 237 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: The Nuggets should be better. The Lakers can't be worse. 238 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: The Hornets and Grizzlies are on the uptick. The Hornets, sorry, 239 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: the Pelicans and Grizzlies are on the uptick. Minnesota is 240 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: not a contender, but they're on the uptick. 241 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: Like. 242 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 2: The only team in the West who you expect to 243 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 2: be worse definitely is Utah and maybe Phoenix, and so 244 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: I under the Warriors get massive credit for holding onto 245 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: these young guys and still winning the title. But no, 246 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: I don't think that the favorites, and I don't think 247 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: that I think their chances of repeating are slim to none. 248 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 3: All Right, next. 249 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 4: Okay, so bigger loser in the finals than the Celtics 250 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: Kevin Durant. Okay, Steph pasted on probably just about everybody's 251 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: top ten lists, including yours. And that thing that you 252 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 4: said about this isn't a part of the question, but 253 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 4: the worst possible outcome that could have happened to Kevin Durant, 254 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 4: it happened to him. 255 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 256 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 2: I mean, well, and let's stay there just for a 257 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: second before we get to the question, because I do 258 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 2: try to be fair and consistent with this. Thirteen months ago, 259 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: I was on television the day after we went to 260 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: I don't think you were in New York yet, So 261 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: I went with your mom and your sisters to Game five, 262 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: Round two nets Bucks and Barclays. The best game of 263 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant's life. He had doing this from memory, but 264 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 2: I think it was forty eight points, either seventeen. 265 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: Or nineteen res every minute of the game. 266 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: Can assists played every minute, no Kyrie essentially, no Hardens 267 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: on one hamstring beats Giannis. Looks like they're going to 268 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: win the title. Yeah, Steph had missed the playoffs. 269 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 3: In back to back years. 270 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 2: In that moment, the post KD Steph breakup, if you will, 271 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: could not have been going better for Durant. 272 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 3: He missed one year with injury, but we knew that 273 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 3: was happening. 274 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 2: The two years without him, Steph hadn't played in a 275 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 2: single playoff game, and Durant looked like the best player 276 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: in the world. Since then, it ain't been like that. 277 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 2: And so, just like there was a point in time 278 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: where last year's playoffs looked like the best case scenario 279 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 2: for the Durant versus Steph discussion, this year's playoffs where 280 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: he gets swept, he doesn't play well, the team that 281 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: sweeps him loses Steph, and Steph wins the title and 282 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: plays great. 283 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 3: That is the worst case scenario. That's not it. Neither 284 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 3: one of those is hyperbolic. But what's the question? 285 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 4: Uh so Katie and Draymond coming at him, and I 286 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 4: mean not Katy and Draymond, Draymond and fans coming at 287 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 4: him on social media and Charles Barkley said that Katie 288 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 4: has to win the title while in the driver's seat. Yes, 289 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: so your Twitter pin pals or mates with Kevin Durant. Yeah, 290 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 4: get Kevin. 291 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: Duran and I are are were I don't know if 292 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: for friendly, but I think I think the relationship is 293 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: in a better spot than it once was, So go ahead, 294 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: So are you going to defend him? Here's what I 295 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 2: will defend Kevin Durant on. You can't defend the playoff series. 296 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: What I will defend him on is this, And Berkley's right. 297 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 2: The thing, just like Step need to check off a 298 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: great start to finish finals. 299 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: Finals, MVP on his resume. 300 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: Katie needs to check off win a title outside of 301 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: the incubator of Golden State on the resume. 302 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: He needs to check that out. 303 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: Okay, However, where I will defend Kevin duran is this, 304 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: because what is happening right now is people are like, 305 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: oh my god, he made such a mistake. Why would 306 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: he leave Golden State because we've told him to the 307 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: whole media said, your legacy will be trash forever unless 308 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: you leave, unless you go win somewhere else. 309 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 3: And then the whole media is like, oh. 310 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: My god, you could have won seven titles with. 311 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 4: The Step and he should have went and won the 312 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: seven titles. 313 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: Well maybe, but he would have gotten me. So if 314 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm Durant, I am a little frustrated. I'm like, you 315 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: gotta be kidding me. You've got to be you guys 316 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 2: all said I. 317 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: Had to leave. 318 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: I left, and now you're like, you're such an idiot 319 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: for leaving. Like that's a if your parent has a 320 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: owns a car dealership and you're like, and you're like, 321 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: your first job out of college, go work for the 322 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 2: car dealership, and then you become an executive vice president 323 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: of the car dealership, still got your dad's. 324 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 3: Name on it. 325 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: You're making money and you're doing good, and everyone around 326 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: you it's like. 327 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: You need to go prove it on your own. You 328 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: need to go go. 329 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: You can't just following you. You can't just take over 330 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: your dad's business. And then you go and a year 331 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: laterone's like, man, what happened all that money you were making? 332 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: What a terrible decision? So stupid you had it made 333 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: you'd be like, dude, you told me I had to leave. 334 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: And so in that regard, I totally defend Durant. And 335 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: here's the other thing I will do fin Duranton. And 336 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: this is where sports are not really fair. 337 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 3: Right. 338 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: There were two guys who were and I apologize, we 339 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: once again have failed the clock. There were two guys 340 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: who were starting players on championship level. Teams that were 341 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 2: playing in cities with vaccine mandates that weren't vaccinated. One 342 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: was Kyrie Irving, one was Andrew Wiggins. Andrew Wiggins got vaxed, 343 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving didn't get backed. Kevin Durant has no control 344 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: over that. Does anybody think the next season goes as 345 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: disastrously if Kyrie makes the decision Wiggins did? And does 346 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: anybody think the Warriors season goes as well if Wiggins 347 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: makes decision Kyrie did so. Duran Durant's got no impact 348 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: on that. Steph benefits, Durant gets dinged for it. Let's 349 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: go another level. Both of these teams had a third 350 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: level player. One in James Harden, goes totally a wall Haywire, quits. 351 00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: On the team and leaves. 352 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 353 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 2: The other, Jordan Poole, goes from g leaguer to briefly like, 354 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: oh my god, is he a twenty point per game guy? 355 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 4: Yeah. 356 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 3: Duran has no impact on that either. 357 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 2: So that's where I think he understandably gets a little 358 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: frustrated with some of the media narrative stuff. So I 359 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: get that. With all that said, he's got to do better. 360 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: He's got it. You can't get swept in round one 361 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 3: and shot thirty eight percent. That's not good. All right, 362 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 3: last thing quickly Philly. 363 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: Hard and likely to sign a short term deal in Philly. Yeah, 364 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 4: report there's reported a three year dealers in the I'm 365 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 4: sorry is likely the outcome. Yeah, you and Daryl Mory 366 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 4: are really good friends. Yeah, but this call, could you know, 367 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 4: really screw him in the long run. 368 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, So listen, here's the deal. 369 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 2: I would be screamings throughout giving James Harden any money 370 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: the way he looked and the way he's quit on 371 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 2: a couple of teams. But Darryl held on to Ben 372 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 2: Simmons longer than anyone said he should, trying to get 373 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 2: a star. He got the star that he's always wanted. 374 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: That he did great within Harden, and I think I 375 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 2: even't talked to Darryl about this. 376 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 3: I think they will. 377 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: That that that hamstring. 378 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: Was a huge part of his issues. I know that sounds. 379 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: Ridiculous because it's like he's at the world's worst hamstring injury. 380 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: But what I've been told about Harden is this one 381 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 2: of the things that made him the greatest euro stepper 382 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: ever was he is a guy who can jump off 383 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 2: either leg equally right, and so the lack of explosiveness 384 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 2: and strength in that one hand, it does make sense 385 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: now to me, it doesn't explain the general lethargy, the 386 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,479 Speaker 2: fact that his playmaking. I mean, he was really just 387 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: a shell of himself down the stretch. But they've got 388 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 2: no other path, and so you've got to just hope 389 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: that Harden can get back to seventy percent of what 390 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: he once was, because that's the thing. And now we're 391 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: going along. I said, I wasn't we have to, you 392 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: know what, we need to have a show meeting about 393 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 2: this clock because I'm terrible at it. But I want 394 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 2: to just remind people of what James Harden did forget 395 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: last year's regular season when people were last year in 396 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: the regular season, people were arguing, can he win MVP 397 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: of the league even though he quit on a team 398 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 2: that happened in the regular season last year. In the postseason, 399 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: before he got hurt in Round one against Boston, James 400 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: Harden this is post the hamstring injury, initially averaged twenty eight, 401 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 2: seven and eleven, including a forty one, seven and ten 402 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: and to close him out a thirty four to ten 403 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: and ten. That was the thirty four to ten and 404 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: ten was June first. It was what ten or twelve 405 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: and a half months ago. So I understand betting on 406 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 2: Harden because you don't have any other choice, but yet 407 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 2: it absolutely could screw them. But you have Joel Embi, 408 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 2: who's one of the very best players in the league. 409 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: You've got to try to win right now.

It was Steph twelve, 426 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 2: Moses eleven, Doctor J ten. Then when it looked like 427 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: Steph was making the finals, I said, all right, we 428 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 2: gotta have this on the fly out of Moses. Then 429 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: when he won the championship and got that elusive finals MVP, 430 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: I said, gotta be fair. He's a had of Doctor J. 431 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 2: So it's now Doctor J twelve. I'm sorry, Moses twelve, 432 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: Doctor J eleven, Step ten.

However, the number of people 441 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: who have tweeted to me, oh, Nick, where's the consistency? 442 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 3: You said all week? STEP's not top ten all time, 443 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 3: and now you have a number ten. It's like you idiots. 444 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 2: I also did a contest for that contest is now closed. 445 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone won it because there were 446 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: too many submissions where I said, if you guess one 447 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 2: through twelve perfectly, you're going to I'll pay five hundred 448 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: bucks your favorite charity and five hundred bucks to you cash, cash, app. 449 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 3: Binmo whatever. 450 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 2: There were multiple people who might have gotten it exactly right, 451 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: except they included Wilton Russell on the list, like they 452 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 2: didn't obey the rules of the Top twelve. 453 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 3: It's of the last fifty years, but it should have been. 454 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: Those people should have realized, wait, I'm including Wilton Russell, 455 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: which means this list all of a sudden doesn't have 456 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 2: Larry Bird or Chema lajoh On or whoever they left 457 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 2: out that's either here or there. So nine and eight 458 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 2: are coming out this coming Sunday, and I think the 459 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: numbers for both of these guys. Everyone knows how great 460 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 2: these players are, or they think they do, but I 461 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 2: think the numbers they were jaw dropping for you, de Monsey. 462 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: I think we'll be jaw dropping for the audience. 463 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 2: Also into today's show, in just a few minutes, we're 464 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: going to talk about one of my highlights. 465 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 3: Of twenty twenty two. 466 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 2: But first let's get to the rest of the show. 467 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 3: Demons go right ahead. 468 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 4: Four days ago, Tyreek Hill said that Tula was more accurate, 469 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 4: a more accurate pass than Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is surprised 470 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 4: by these comments. Yeah, he said, offense is about more 471 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 4: than one player. Steven Hill was very eager to take 472 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 4: a shot or throw Pat Mahomes under the bush. Yeah. 473 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 4: So you think Tyreek Hill will be a head case 474 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 4: because of his botch decision. 475 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 3: Well, listen, you can't get everything life. 476 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 2: Tyreek took the money, Yeah, took the weather, took the security, 477 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 2: and the trade off is you go from arguably the 478 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 2: most talented quarterback to ever play to arguably not one 479 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 2: of the twenty five best current starting quarterbacks. 480 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 3: Tyreek knows that. 481 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 2: I wish you know. 482 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: Eric Mangini says a lot. 483 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 2: You don't have to blow out somebody else's candle to 484 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: make yours brighter. 485 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 3: I wish he could try to. 486 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 2: Build up to a without taking little shots at Mahomes. 487 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 4: Because then it puts two in a weird position. 488 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: But it also becomes less believable. 489 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, if he was. 490 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,239 Speaker 2: If he When he said the quote that Tyreek said that, 491 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 2: I think people were like, oh, okay, Tyreek said something 492 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 2: along the lines of, hey, I went nine catches for 493 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 2: buck fifty four with Matt Moore as the quarterback. 494 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 3: Once two is ten Matt moorees. 495 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 2: I think people were like, okay, maybe, but when you 496 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: start trying to compare two with to Patrick Mahomes, no 497 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 2: one believes you, and it feels like you're overcompensating. Do 498 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 2: I think Tyreek, if things aren't going well, could become 499 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: a handful? 500 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 3: I do. 501 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: Listen, Tyreek was one half of the most important play 502 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 2: in Chief's history, wasp to pull that Super Bowl out 503 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 2: of the fire. He is a future Hall of Famers, 504 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 2: one of the greatest receivers of his era. I also 505 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 2: think that, let me put it like this, if he 506 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 2: puts up monster numbers anywhere close to what he put 507 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: up with the Chiefs, then I think he was He's 508 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: a future, and I think he's underrated. I don't think 509 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 2: that's gonna happen, however, and I do think that this 510 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: could be not great for Miami. I also think Miami 511 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: was hoping they were gonna have Tom Brady. I think 512 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 2: there was a lot. Yeah, there's a lot there all right. 513 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 4: Next NFL reportly wants to significantly or maybe even give 514 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 4: Deshaun Watson a full suspension. 515 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 3: Full year suspension. 516 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. One might think that means that the Browns want 517 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 4: to keep Baker around. Yep, brown so, But the Browns 518 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 4: are so eager to get rid of Baker they were 519 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 4: willing to pay the Panthers half of his salary. 520 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 521 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,640 Speaker 4: Is it too early to call Deshaun Watsons trade? It's 522 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 4: just total disaster. 523 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's too early. I don't think 524 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 2: it's too early at all. And I think that there 525 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 2: is a chance this goes down as one of the 526 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 2: biggest errors any team has ever made. The Cleveland Browns 527 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: won one game in the two years before they drafted 528 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield. They were one in fifteen, and then Owen sixteen, 529 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 2: and then he got for real. Then he got there 530 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: and they won seven games his first year. 531 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 3: His second year was no good, and they. 532 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: Had Freddie Kitchens as their head coach, maybe the worst 533 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 2: coach I've ever seen. His third year, they won a 534 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: playoff game and were in a one score game. 535 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 3: At Arrowhead against the Chiefs. 536 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 2: His fourth year, they were three and two and the 537 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 2: losses were to the Chiefs and I forget the other one. 538 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 2: I think it was to the Chargers, like forty seven 539 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 2: forty two, and then Baker got his shoulder ruined and 540 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: played poorly the rest of the way. They still were 541 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: hovering around five hundred, and the Browns decided we're gonna 542 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: torch that relationship entirely to go after someone who as 543 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: as horrifying of off field allegations as we've seen for 544 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 2: any player in the last decade. They made that decision 545 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,959 Speaker 2: just hoping and praying that this was going to go away. 546 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 2: And listen, I am not in the criminal justice system. 547 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 2: I am not in the Browns franchise of the NFL 548 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 2: front office. 549 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 3: But what I. 550 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 2: Would say is this, if you are weighing the pros 551 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 2: and cons of bringing someone in, and someone in the 552 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 2: meeting is like, well, what if there are more accusers 553 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 2: someone else in the meeting, and someone's like, well, what 554 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: are the odds of that? I would say pretty damn high. 555 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 2: When the current accuser number was at twenty two, and 556 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 2: when it was already at twenty two, the idea that 557 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 2: it wasn't going to maybe tick up to twenty three 558 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: or twenty four was foolish of them, and they didn't 559 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 2: do a good job keeping that. I think there is 560 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: a strong argument to be made that no team should 561 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 2: have traded for Deshaun. But if you want to set 562 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: the horrifying off field out legations aside and talk just 563 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 2: football from a purely football perspective, because you knew a 564 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: substantial suspension was likely in the offing, you should only 565 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 2: have done it if you had no core, if you 566 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 2: had no hope. 567 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 3: At quarterback whatsoever. 568 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: Right, and so yeah, I think that this is a 569 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 2: potential disaster. 570 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 4: Baker shouldn't even want to play there. 571 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: Oh, he clearly doesn't want to play there. 572 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 2: But if and that's the other thing the Browns screwed up, 573 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 2: what they should be doing right now is going to 574 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield and saying, listen, it's pretty clear your trade 575 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: value is not where we want it or where you 576 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: would like. The teams you could possibly go to are 577 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: going to be worse teams than us. 578 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 3: Yes, we've made it clear you're not our quarterback of 579 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 3: the future. 580 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: However, let's help each other out here, right, you play 581 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: for us for eight to sixteen games, this season, you 582 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: can rebuild your value. We can contend, and then this 583 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 2: if it's the whole year, you're a true free agent. 584 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: After this year, you can go get paid out. If 585 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 2: it's midway through the year, you can show the league 586 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 2: you're still a viable, real starting quarterback. But I don't 587 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: think they've handled this well at all. And I think 588 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 2: they forgot they're the Browns for a minute, and they're 589 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 2: like hovering. 590 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 3: Around five hundred. Isn't good enough? 591 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: You won one game in the two years before Baker 592 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: walked through that door. Now, there's other things that went 593 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: along with that, but there are also other things that 594 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: went along with his struggles, not the least of which 595 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 2: were his injuries. In fact, that he had four offensive 596 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 2: coordinators and four head coaches in four years. Okay, all right, 597 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: let's play a game. Let's try to end on a 598 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: lighter note before we get to my glorious father's. 599 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 4: Day time for two? 600 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 5: Wrong? 601 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 4: Is one? Right? 602 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: Yep? 603 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 3: Which big name creation. 604 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 4: Is worth going all in for? Okay, Out of DeAndre Ayton, 605 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: Bradley Beale, or Zach Levine. 606 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 2: Levine is probably the safest because he's younger than bal 607 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 2: he doesn't have the injury issues of bal Ayton is 608 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 2: a cross off to me. If you want to pay 609 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 2: a center max money, I need that center to be 610 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 2: Embiid Jokich, Anthony Davis, and Ayton is nowhere close to that. Okay, 611 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: and I think we saw by the way that you 612 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: can there are certain teams that can look Kevon Looney 613 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 2: made the MAVs pay for playing small more than DeAndre 614 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 2: Ayton made the MAVs pay for playing small. That's a problem, right. 615 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 2: The question with Bial is the injury. If you guaranteed 616 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 2: me three years of health for any of these guys, 617 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: Beal would be my answer, because of Bill a little 618 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 2: bit older and the injury. Zach Levine because injury of 619 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 2: the injury factor, I'd say Levine. But I like Bill 620 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: as a player and as kind of a steady hand 621 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: more than I like Uh, more than I like Levine. 622 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 2: I know that's kind of a copy out, but that's 623 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 2: where I'm at all right, Next. 624 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 4: Okay, uh draft is on Thursday. Yet one of these 625 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 4: bet on one of these guys to go first? Yeah, 626 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 4: Jabbari Smith, yep chet Homegum or Paolo Bonchero. 627 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 2: So I was very curious if you were gonna nail 628 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 2: all those pronunciations. I'm gonna give you a nine out 629 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 2: of ten because you mispronounced Ben Caro's last name. But 630 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 2: you did it in a way a lot of people do. 631 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 2: You did the and it's. 632 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 4: Cut son Caro. 633 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, you got it there. So I 634 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: I'm so first of all, good job by you. Uh 635 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: my pick would be if i'm the magic. 636 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 3: Would be Jabbari. 637 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 2: I think it's probably gonna be Chet, so I would 638 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 2: The one that I would be shocked by is bon Carro. 639 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 2: I don't think Paulo has any real shot of going 640 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 2: number one. I would draft Jabbari. I think they're gonna 641 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: draft Chat and now, oh it's one of my favorite words, 642 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 2: Charlatan's Okay, what's last? What are we doing? 643 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? Kenny Atkinson backed out of the Hornets coaching job. 644 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 3: Yeah that was crazy. 645 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty wild. Who had the most egregious flip 646 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 4: flops since our shows started? Oh my, Kitty Atkinson screw 647 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 4: in the Hornets, Brady's fake retirement, Yeah, or you switching 648 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 4: off of the team that ended up winning the finals. 649 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 2: Okay, mine was dumb, but it came from an honest place. 650 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson, I think the Words just decided to pay 651 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 2: him a lot of money and they said that's a 652 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 2: I can get a better head coaching job than Charlotte. 653 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, the answer is Tom Brady. 654 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 2: As me, Dan Levitard and Ben Valin and Mike Floria 655 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: are the only people that really care about this story. 656 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 2: But Tom Brady announced his retirement days before the Super Bowl, 657 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 2: and it didn't last six weeks, and it was all 658 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: a ploy to get to a different team. And now 659 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 2: we're supposed to believe he's all in on the Bucks. 660 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 2: The answer, unequivocally, unabashedly, unquestionably is Tom Brady. Just as 661 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 2: unquestionable as how awesome my Sunday was. We will explain 662 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: that What's Right? 663 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 4: I think that was like your fourth time teasing it. 664 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 3: Oh I'm so excited. 665 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in last segment What's Right with 666 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: Nick Right.
