This is the Dan Patrick Show 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.640 where company live from the Fox Worts Radio studios and 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:18.400 Rob Huge News. The nets LaMarcus Aldridge, perennial All Star, 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.800 was toward the end of his career obviously, but retired 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.880 just today in a statement he released on Twitter because 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.720 of an irregular heartbeat and first of all Man. Praise 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:34.960 God that that was found out that you know, I mean, 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:39.360 I have nothing but support for him. And this is 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:43.480 similar remember Rob the Caress Lavert trade with the Nets 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.240 when they that that's what brought him James Harden. That 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.200 is where the physical is, where they found out Laverte 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.440 had some health issues and that that could have saved 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.880 his life. So, um, I guess if you're looking at 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:02.480 it from a basketball standpoint, Rob fortunate thing this is 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.680 secondary obviously to just his general health. But the good thing, 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.560 at least we can say he had his full career, 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:15.120 you know, I mean LaMarcus Alldres played a full NBA career, 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.400 left his mark, you know, made several All Star teams. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.960 This isn't his second or third year where he really 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.720 didn't get to fulfill his basketball promise and potential. He 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.520 was able to do that, thankfully, And it's still unfortunate. 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.920 But um, you know, you just you just keep him 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.080 in your family, his family and your prayers absolutely and 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.519 health his number one. We know that, Chris. Nothing else matters. 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.360 You know, it doesn't matter people. Oh you know, can't 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.880 you play out the season? No, you can't play out 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:50.040 the season. You know, like he could have been Kevin Durant, right, 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.800 or some other great player. I don't gonna throw out 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.040 the name, but you know what I mean. And you 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:58.079 still gotta put your health ahead of this. I'm sorry, 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.880 I know, I know. You know, people think that athletes 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.880 can do whatever they want. No, he's smart. Now we 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.799 know why he didn't play, okay, And it wasn't COVID relay, 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.360 to remember, they put that out there, Chris, So it 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.000 was like, why is he not playing that? That was interesting, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:14.760 you know, and we were trying to figure it out. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.800 And now we know, and uh, I'm with you. He 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.120 had a great run, LaMarcus did he really did a 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.120 Hall of Fame rather you know, but he had a 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.799 great career. I think seven time All Star. Yeah, he 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.560 was a he was a guy who we all know 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.320 played really really well and and uh, it's a shame 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:35.880 that it had to and he had a chance to 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.120 win a championship maybe, right, Chris is which could have 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.280 been his final year, but it's not gonna happen. And 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.760 I'm sure he was happy he got the opportunity. But 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.440 once you once you get a scare like that and 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.800 you know you have a real issue. You just you 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.800 just retire, and I bet you, and I bet you anyway, 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.640 the Nets will probably still either a welcome him around, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.200 Chris and then probably if they do win, give him 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:02.000 a championship run. I wouldn't say, And it all depends 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:03.840 on him. He's got a family, so he may just 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.200 want to you know, he probably his family, I would guess. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.840 I'm not I'm just saying he's still in San Antonio. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.680 He blably just want to go back and be with him. 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.520 But I hear you, like you know, we know, Rob, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:19.520 the camaraderie is a big part of sports which a teammates, 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:22.320 and I'm sure there's a part of him that would 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.560 like to stay around the team and hang around and 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.200 and be with him in the playoffs. And you know, 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.400 if they if they won the ring, I think it'd 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.200 be great if they gave him a ring, because you know, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.080 I'll count on his record, you know, but I think 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.680 that'd be great. We saw that with David Price with 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.239 the Dodgers. Chris right, he opted out because of COVID. 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.520 What happened. The Dodgers finally won a World Series after 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.679 thirty two years, and and David Price is a member 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.000 of the team even though he didn't play one inning. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.120 He got a ring and then he donated it to 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.800 the Players Alliance, which was even class here, you know 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.960 what I mean. But he did get a from the Dodgers. 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:05.080 So I'm just saying it could happen. Do you uh, 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.279 what do you do you think? How do you think 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:12.680 this impacts the NETS chances? You know, if winning this championship. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.080 I'm not trying to poo poo his career or his impact, 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.520 but it's about those three big horses, Chris Durant, Hardened 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:25.599 and Kywee. Those are the guys that are ultimately going 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.560 to get it won for them, you know. And LaMarcus 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.080 Alders would have been a nice addition, but he's not 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.920 going to be the X factor of whether they win 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.120 or not. I agree. I mean when he joined the team, 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.560 it was gravy, it was icing on the Kegan and yep, 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:48.280 I don't even without all that great biscuits, right. I 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.080 was told they were actually a bit surprised because he 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.040 wanted to play for them. You know. It was like, 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.559 I mean, they had just signed Blake, so they're thinking, man, 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.000 I mean, with the cupboard is full, the covers overflowing, 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.120 and then he wanted to play with them. He's close 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.560 with DeAndre Jordan. You know, they both are from Texas, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.920 and so I think that played a part in him 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.839 ended up with the Nets. But Rob, I agree with you. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.159 I mean, look, as we said, he was a terrific player. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.240 He was on his you know, towards the end. He's 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:22.080 thirty five. But I don't think this impacts them. Now. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.960 He was playing center and he's a guy that at 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.000 this point had become a stretch five, you know, or 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:31.000 a guy that had those abilities. He hit some threes 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.400 with them, and so he was good in that role 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.000 for them, which would have given them a crazy unique offense. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:42.400 But Rob, I also think, you know, DeAndre Jordan's minutes 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.240 were gone right when we saw him play last night 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.120 against him bid Chris and then Bead had a big night, 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:54.360 but his presence was there. You saw that he made 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.200 him work absolutely, and that's all you gotta do. You're 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:01.160 not gonna stop Joel embiid Okay, so let's not let's 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.640 not be ridiculous. And he's gonna get his and Ben 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.279 Simmons is gonna get his. But but it's about the 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.520 Nets big three, and if they get theres, you know 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:13.320 what I mean? Will that add up more than their 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.640 two big guys? So right, I think that's where it's 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.280 all about. When when you talk about the nets. Yeah, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.200 so they should be fine on the court. But prayers 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:26.360 out to LaMarcus Allgigen his family. Um, let's stick with 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:30.120 the NBA Rob Steph Curry. I mean, I don't know 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.920 if you saw last night, but my man, this dude 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:38.760 is on a tear. He dropped another forty two last night, 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.920 eight dimes to go with it. Did they win? Yeah, 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.000 they blew out kid. They actually you saw it. They 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.160 won by almost forty I'm just kidding. It was Oklahoma City. 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.120 So but fifty three to night before. He's averaged forty 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:55.440 points this month, forty point seven rebounds, surprisingly two fifty 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.120 seven percent shooting. Here's what I want to throw. And 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.560 we talked about this, right, remember when Brian Horse of 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.440 ESPN put out a couple of weeks ago that Lebron's 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.400 already recruiting Steph to the Lakers. And we talked about 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.400 it immediately, and it was like, and I was on 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:16.400 board with you, like there's no reason for him to leave. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.440 You know, he's won his rings, his legacy is set 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.800 so on and so forth. But I gotta be honest, Rob, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.880 as time and it's obviously not a lot of time. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.400 I mean just we're talking about a few weeks. But 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:34.959 as time goes on, the thought of Steph leaving Golden State, 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:41.520 to me becomes less and less egregious. Like I really 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.360 am starting to think, you know, depending on how things 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:48.120 work out, I'm starting to think it might not be 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.679 a bad move for him. And and here's let me 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.880 I'll explain my point and then I know you got 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.720 out a viewpoint on this. He is still clearly at 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.480 the top of his game. If they were winning more 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.040 and they're twenty six and twenty one when he's healthy, 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.000 they're won in seven without him, So he's he's bawling 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.920 thirty one points a game or thirty points seven. I mean, 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.959 he's doing this thing. That's right, but it's obviously not 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.599 him because when he's on the floor, their record is 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:22.800 actually pretty strong. But he is still at the top 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:27.080 of his game. Some some would argue he's playing better 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.200 than ever. I won't go that far, because to your point, 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.280 they're not winning even when he's playing, and they're winning 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.439 at a decent clip, not like they used to um. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.040 But he's averaging. You know, he's getting double and triple 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.920 teamed at times even, and so he's doing it with 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:44.560 not nearly the help he's had before. So that's the 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.520 argument for him playing better. But that bottom line, he's 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:51.200 still playing really well, still in his prime. If I'm Stephan, 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.480 he's an under contract for next year, I'm coming back 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:58.920 to Golden State next year, I would think about not 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.040 signing in an extend in this summer and go back 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.079 next year. You know, he's got to buy and ride 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.520 with Clay Thompson and dre Mind Green. I mean, they've 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.360 done great things together and so you want to play 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:17.240 with them. But if the team struggles, maybe Clay's not 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.840 what he used to be, maybe dre Mind's really starting 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.839 to show his age, and they're a seventh or eight seed. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.480 Even with those guys, they go out in the first round. 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.880 But Steph's still clearly clicking at the top of his game. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.600 Then my thinking is he doesn't have to leave, he 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:38.080 doesn't have to go get rings. But do you want 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.360 I won't fault him if he says, you know what, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.640 the last five years of my career or whatever, I 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.520 want to compete for championships. I've been competing for championships 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.120 the bulk of my career, and I don't want to 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:55.200 just be mediocre. I as a team, I want to 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.400 be somewhere where we have a chance to win. Not 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.840 because I need more rings, but I'm competitive and I 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.640 wouldn't fault him for that. It's you can't in this 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.040 era where everybody's bouncing around, even the best players. And 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.280 so look if they come back next year and Derek 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.319 Clay's playing great, Drey's playing great, and they're a third 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.360 or fourth seed, they go to the second round, they 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.800 get beat maybe by the Lakers or Clippers in a 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.000 tough series, but they look like we're right there. We 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.960 can win another ring, you know, next year or the 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:32.120 year after at a piece or two. Then I'm fine stay. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:37.760 But I think just based on your individual competitiveness, just 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.880 based on I still want to win championships. I can. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.839 I'm starting to see rob and opening for him to 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:52.960 maybe leave. I'm totally in disagreement with you. I think 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.800 it would be a colossal mistake for Steph Curry to 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.120 leave Golden State and the legacy that he's build. I 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.200 just don't think he should wear anybody else's uniform. I 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.839 think he could be in a class like a Derek Jeter, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.280 who played twenty years for the Yankees, never put on 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:16.240 another team's uniform. Jeter won five championships, He's won three, 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.120 He's won three. He had a great run, they went 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:24.360 to five straight NBA finals. You know, he didn't need 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:29.600 to do anymore. Then he's already done. And I'm not saying, like, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.880 you know, to just play the string out and I 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.319 try to win. But Matt, imagine going somewhere else and 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.360 not winning. It's not a guarantee that if you go 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.960 somewhere else you're gonna win. Michael Jordan never should have 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:44.440 war a Washington Wizard uniform. Chris he never should have, 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.480 and he did, and he never won, and he went 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.480 and he didn't even make the playoffs. So I don't 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:54.320 like that idea. I think his legacy said step should 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.160 embrace what he has. If I'm a Warriors fan, I 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.400 would be bothered by it. I would I would really 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.240 be bothered that this wasn't enough that from most players 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.280 in a great career to win, you know, two MVPs 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.200 and a unanimous MVP, and to win three championships and 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.200 go to the finals five years in a row, that 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.960 that wasn't enough, that somehow he would feel empty and 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:22.160 would need some other uh some other accomplishment to feel 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.640 good about what he's done. Most people Chris could call 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.680 what he's done already a career and be way happy 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.920 and and you do it, and they do have a 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:37.880 bond with Clay Thompson and Draymond Green and uh, you know, 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.280 you know, and and the idea that those three three guys. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:46.040 Uh No, he wants greener pastures, that he's he's outgrown 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.440 this and he wants to move on. I think the 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.720 testament would be if the band stayed together and Steph 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.640 Curry somehow, some way could eke out one more you 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.960 know what I mean, to cap off their career. Uh 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.880 there at Golden Better. Yeah, I think that. I think 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.319 that's a better story to me. Let's throw it out 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.480 to you guys eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.160 eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:14.320 You're turned away in on this topic as we continue it, 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:17.480 do you you know, how would you feel about Steph 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.720 Curry leaving the Warriors? Should it be something he at 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:25.760 least considers Robs I'll say this because I don't think 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:30.160 like you painted it as a Steph leaving would be like, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.040 I'm not satisfied, I'm still lacking something. I don't think 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.600 it has to be that way like, because I don't. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:42.960 It's not just playing for legacy like guys played for competition. 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.880 Guys play to win in the I mean Tom Brady 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:48.840 is a great example of that. He could just relax, Oh, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.040 I got my legacy, I'm set. But he just wants 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.840 to compete in the moment. And that's what I'm talking 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:58.360 about with Steph. You're right, I don't think he feels 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.800 a need that I need more rings, and I don't 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.160 know that. I don't know this, but I think it's 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.760 possible if he went on another got two or three 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.680 more than you start moving him up the rankings. But 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.720 maybe a few more rings don't even move in past 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.400 the guys that are ahead of him in the all 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.800 time rankings. So it's not even about that to me, 0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:21.360 it's just about the competition. I'm still at the top 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.880 of my game. I want to win more rings, and 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.640 I think rob in this era, Durant's been on three teams. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.080 Lebron's been on three teams or four teams in three 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.800 different cities. You know, they're the best players of this 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.480 generation and they hopped all over the place and it's 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.920 not hurting their legacy. So I disagree. I think that 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.920 there's some people look at Durant and he'll never fully 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:50.160 get the credit he deserves and as a great player. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.720 And we've heard some former NBA greats who have knocked 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:58.360 Durant from moving around or joining the Warriors, and I think, 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.400 you know, obviously the rest of his career has to 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.560 be has to be written, Chris, but there are people 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:07.640 who who who frowned upon that, and you know, don't 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.400 give him full credit. So I just I don't think 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.720 there's anything the game for Steph Curry. I think he's 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.320 got a wonderful legacy at Golden State. They all adore 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.040 him and love him, and I think he should be 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.760 like Jeter and stick with his team until until the 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.200 very end and never wear another team juniform. That's just me, yeah, yeah, no, 0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.400 And there look, there's a case obviously to be made 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.400 for that, and I see the merit in that. And 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.120 if he decides to stay, more power to him, and 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:39.720 to your point, you know, they can try to build 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:45.440 toward another championship. But I'm I just gotta admit I'm 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.800 really starting to feel like and I think too, Robin. 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.880 I threw this out. If let's say Brooklyn runs through 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.880 the league this year, right, you know, let's say it 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.520 all works out. They wouldn't lose one playoff game in 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.360 the East, maybe win the finals in four or five, 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.320 and and maybe do it as similar thing next year, 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:05.920 like they become Golden State, Right, they become that next 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:10.760 Golden State. Then you're going to have guys, rob I 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.360 don't know where. I mean, obviously the Lakers, but who 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:15.520 knows if Lebron will still even be at the top 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.960 of his game at that point, but there will be teams. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.919 What if maybe Milwaukee and that Steph could go to 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:27.800 and say, you know what, this is ridiculous. We gotta compete. 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:30.679 Somebody's gotta compete. I hear you, but I don't you know, 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.880 I understand that, but I'm not sure if it's Steph. 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.760 Because we got a couple of people want to chime in. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.800 Are you ready for that? Yep? Let's do all right, 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:41.200 let's do it. Hank in Virginia, You're on the Dan 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.639 Patrick's show Fox Sports Radio. What's up? Hank, gentlemen, so 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.879 glad to hear you guys early in the day. Um, 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:53.040 thank you. Is no free agents go to like Indiana. 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:57.280 They don't go to Memphis, they don't. So why don't 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:02.240 we just contracted the eighteens since everybody wants to join up? Right, 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:07.679 I mean they're actually talking about expanding. I hear you 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.199 that we can't add any more teams, right, you know 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.360 they're talking about that, Rob, Right, But okay, I mean 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.280 you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna say a little something, Hank, 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.520 Yanni State in Milwaukee. Give him credit for that. I 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.240 love that move, Chris. I love west Brooks State in Oklahoma, 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:31.560 as did Paul George. Remember Paul George State in Oklahoma. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.560 Aldridge went to San Antonio. Now they were a great team, 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.480 so maybe that's a little different, but he still he 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.800 went to San Antonio, which is a small dollar. You 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.200 know this, Rob, Dame Damian Lillard wants to stay in Portland. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:48.400 So I think it's Rob you said it earlier. It's 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.880 only a few guys, right, Hank, thanks for the call, 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.159 appreciate it. Right, It's not as many, KD Kyrie, you 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.360 know it's not everybody will in Texas. You're under Dan 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.280 Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio. What you got, Will? I 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:03.920 ain't got a big fan and a big fan of 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.320 the couple. Thank you for a time in here with 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.520 you know what I think, step Rings you got any 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.439 of them. But if you wanted to move to a 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.640 good team, that's ah, you know, more a smaller franchise 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.960 and probably could get a ring be something like san Antonio. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.600 San Antonio needs a definitely good point guard, and I 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:26.880 think he'd be a great I think Rob if he will, 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.040 I would if I was if he moved, I would 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:31.840 really only do it if I was going to a 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.760 team that was right there and I knew I would 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.880 be the guy to help get them over to get 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.600 him over there, I wouldn't go to just another good team. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.240 He's all right, no, no, you gotta do something. But 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:43.480 I didn't have to be to push them over the top. 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.240 One last one, Chris, let's squeeze in. Stephen in New York. 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:53.720 You're on the Dan Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Stephen? Stephen? 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:59.040 All right, let's do Nate Nate in Texas. Nate, You're 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.639 on the Dan Patrick Show. Hey guys, thanks for having me. 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:04.800 You're the last show. I listened to you yesterday in 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.560 the first one. I listened to you this morning. You 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:12.240 got a blessed life, man, Thank you. It's a real treat. 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.800 So I just rob, I think you hit the nail 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:18.040 on the head last night on the Odd Couple. He's 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:22.000 already won some titles at Golden State. I think it's 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.080 best for him to stay there. You know, if he 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.240 hadn't won any titles with them and he wanted to 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.720 go get a title somewhere else, I'm okay with that. 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.680 But I love him staying in Golden State and being 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:35.080 true to that organization. You just don't see it enough 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:39.040 these days. It's true and they love him there. He's 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:42.639 making Chris was he making forty million, fifty million dollars 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.320 a year or something? He'll be making more? Yeah, no, right, 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.400 I mean, and and he's the king of that city. 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.840 I will say, helped build that new arena in San Francisco. 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.359 And you know, yeah, that wasn't a big They weren't 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.440 a great franchise. You know, they hadn't one of forty years. Right, 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:02.560 But here's the look he would I imagine Golden State 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.760 fans would be down on him for a little while 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:08.000 you know, but you know it will wear off and 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.600 when he retired, or even late in his career, when 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.359 he went back, it would be all love. But all right, 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.960 it is the Eye Couple. Chris Bruce R. Rob Parker 0:21:16.000 --> 0:21:19.200 filling in for Dan Patrick.
