Get his thoughts on the big deal that 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:38.120 happen overnight late night East Coast tom around two thirty 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.360 I think Bojes reported that the Clippers and the seventy 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.159 six ers have agreed to a deal where James Harden 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.960 is the focal point of the trade. He is going 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.520 to the Clippers and in return Philadelphia gets some expiring 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.320 contracts and some draft picks. I want to ask him 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.960 as we move forward, how dangerous are the Clippers They 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.000 have the fifth best odds now to win a time 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.160 idol and the seventy six Ers where are they going? 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.120 Because Joe Ellenbiid has trusted the process, What is the 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.480 process now calendar is available for a pre order and 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.000 you'll be able to pre order that and then get 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:18.399 it probably round Thanksgiving.

Newcastle against the Gunners. 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:41.760 It's Arsenal Newcastle Saturday at one thirty Eastern non NBC. 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.280 Also we say good morning to those watching on Peacock. 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:48.800 Thank you and our radio affiliates around the country. You 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.240 had a showcase for the Lions last night. I thought 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.760 they looked good. They didn't look great. They allowed the 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.760 Raiders to stay in the game, and if Jimmy Garoppolo 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.040 had connected on one one of those two bad passes 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.920 to DeVante Adams, we would have had a real game there. 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.280 But the lines improved as six and two. Tonight you 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.320 have the Rangers and the Diamondbacks. Last night the Rangers 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.359 beat the Diamondbacks three to one to go up two 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.639 to one in the series, and of course the big 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.160 news the basketball trade. Now I'm looking at the odds 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.919 right now in the NBA. This is updated from last 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.359 night with DraftKings. The Celtics are the favorites, then the Bucks, 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:30.600 the Nuggets, the Suns, and the Clippers. Those are the 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.480 top teams odds wise to win the NBA Championship. A 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.000 couple of phone calls in here, and then we'll get 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.359 to Chris mannis who will stop by? Mike and Louisiana. Hi, Mike, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:42.400 what's on your mind today? 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:44.720 Hey? 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:44.960 Dan? 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:46.040 How you doing good? Mike? 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:47.680 Great? 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.680 Hey? Six one two? 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.040 Hope you can settle a debate for me. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.639 Who's college career what you prefer to have? 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:01.600 Or Tim Tebow? 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:13.120 Well, what comes along with Reggie Bush? Oh? Okay, so 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:17.560 he wins a Heisman, loses a Heisman, uh, loses a 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.880 national championship. I'd rather have Tim Tebow's career from the 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.480 from the perspective of, you know, it was clean, he 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.240 did it right, It was clean. Reggie to me a 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.400 more dynamic player. Like it's one of those when you 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.080 watch Reggie play, you knew you were watching somebody who 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.760 was great. It wasn't like I don't know now, he 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:43.960 wasn't a great NFL player. And I think when I 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.640 and I'm trying to recall this, but I remember a 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.000 source saying he's not gonna be able to run through, 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.480 you know, defenses the way he did at USC. He 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:55.000 didn't have a strong lower body. But you know, he 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.120 might have been Christian McCaffrey before Christian McCaffrey if you 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.960 look at how he's built. But Christian is a little 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.320 bit stronger. He runs between the tackles. But I Reggie 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.760 had a good career in the NFL. He didn't have 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.120 a great career, and I would have thought he would 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:13.880 have been electric and kick returning, catching passes also, you know, 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:14.640 running the football. 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.680 Yeah, Paul, Like, if Reggie Bush were a second or 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.479 third round draft pick, you'd say he had a really 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.400 good career. You'd be like, what a great career. He 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.240 had fifty five hundred rushing yards. He also had four 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.600 hundred and seventy seven receptions, and I returned some kicks, 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.040 so he was pretty good at that. Yeah, Like overall, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.279 he never had that seventeen hundred yard season or anything 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:31.599 like that. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.280 But he lived up to the height more than Tim 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:38.160 Tebow did when Tebow got to the NFL. But You know, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.520 if you're looking at a college career, Tebow's got one 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.960 of the great careers of all. I mean, they both do. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.280 They were both wonderful, but I would probably take Tebo's 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.479 because it was cleaner and you didn't bring down, you know, 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.080 an entire football teams bringing Chris Mannix who joins us? Now, Chris, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.719 thanks for joining us. Let me start with Philadelphia here. 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.800 I'm trying to understand Joel Embiid. That's the first person 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.400 I thought about when this happened. They get expiring contracts 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.320 and draft picks. Harden didn't want to be there. Does 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.479 Joel Embiid want to be there? Does he understand? What's 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.240 I mean? Got to look around and go what is 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:15.920 going on here? 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:22.359 I think Joel Embiid is probably relieved to some degree 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:27.520 that this is over before it could get any uglier 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:32.719 in Philadelphia. Now, whether or not Joel Embiid becomes happy 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.120 almost entirely depends on what Philadelphia does next. You know, 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.760 they acquired two very appealing first round picks in this deal, 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:45.200 the Clippers pick in twenty twenty six. In twenty twenty eight. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.360 When those picks go on the trade block, a lot 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.360 of teams going to want them because nobody has any 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.560 idea what the Clipper is going to look like in 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.400 twenty six. In twenty nobody has an idea what the 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.560 Clip is gonna look like next season. So those will 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.799 be valuable in a trade. And you know two names 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:05.240 I've heard from people around the league already that Philadelphia 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.680 will likely look into Zach Levine. In Chicago, the Bulls, 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.320 we already kind of know they're going nowhere, and the 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.159 Raptors have been kind of on the precipice of rebuilding 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:19.320 for over a year now. So if the Sixers can 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.080 go out and get one of those two players or 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.640 somebody else along those lines, I think Joel Embiid would 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.200 be ecstatic. I mean, he's already got a really good 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.000 running mate in Tyrese Maxi, who looks like he's ready 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.680 to take that all Star step this season. If they 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.560 get one more player and Leavine and Nanobi both do 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.040 different things. Lavine solves the problem of an extra score 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.240 and a ball handler. Annobe is someone they can throw 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:50.320 at at Milwaukee in Boston in the postseason. In terms 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.599 of wing defenders, I think that will make Joel Embiid happy. 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.320 But right now, I think for Joel Embiid, it's probably 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.440 wait and see what Philadelphia does next. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.159 Why did the Clippers want James Harden? You know, the 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:02.720 Clippers have. 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:08.679 Always wanted James Harden and or another point guard. They've 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.840 not been you know, thrilled with or comfortable, I guess 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.360 the better word with what they have at the point 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.520 guard position. They really really wanted Drew Holiday. When Drew 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.720 Holliday became available when he was traded to Portland, the 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:27.120 Clippers really wanted him. They had some interest in Malcolm Brogden, 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.080 but James Harden was the next guy on that list 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.760 because it gives them a little bit of everything. You know, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.200 he can score, he can playmake, He's proven he can 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:40.680 succeed on quality teams with quality stars around him. And 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.600 this really is dan a tripling down on the present. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.600 Like this Clippers team is all in for this year. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.679 They've got Paul George and Kawhi Leonard who are currently 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.360 effectively on expiring contracts. Both these guys have player options 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:55.400 next year. 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:56.400 Now you get James. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.720 Harden, who's also on an expiring contract, and you're just 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.520 kind of pushing all your chips in the middle and 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.520 hoping you're starting five, which on paper looks like one 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.200 of the best starting fives in all of basketball. You know, 0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.240 can stay healthy and give you a chance in the 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.000 Western Conference. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.520 But I'm trying to understand Harden, and that's a dangerous 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.360 game to play. That he wants to be James Harden 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.720 in the playoffs where you get to put up forty points. 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.920 That he doesn't want to be the guy who gets 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.880 eleven assists in twenty one points. He wants to be 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.000 more of the James Harden I get to have fun. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.720 How are you gonna do that with the Clippers. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.520 Well, I think he can because one thing, in fairness 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:37.480 to James Harden, when he got to Philadelphia, he changed 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:41.560 his game. He became much more facilitator than he was, 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.800 certainly in Houston and also in Brooklyn. I mean, led 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.920 the league in assists last season. I mean, he was 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.600 a playmaker for them. His disappearance in the playoffs, particularly 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.720 the last two games of that Boston series, was certainly alarming, 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.040 and that was probably the reason. You know, Philadelphia wasn't 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.400 willing to go as high on a contract that James 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.480 Harden would have liked in the offseason. But I think 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:09.760 James Harden if he's happy, which right now currently at 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.760 you know, eleven o'clock Eastern on a Tuesday, he is. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.080 If he's happy, I think he's going to be a 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.040 net plus, you know for the Clippers. I think he's 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.560 gonna find ways to to facilitate with that Clippers team. 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.120 And when it comes down to it, James Harden can 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.080 always go out and get his shots. And one thing 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.960 to remember too, Dan is you know load management is 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.520 you know, being discouraged. But the Clippers are still going 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.920 to load manage. I mean, Kawhi Leonard is not going 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.160 to play seventy games, neither will Paul George. So James 0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.000 Harden is going to get opportunities during the regular season 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.480 to be the James Harden of old if he wants to. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.240 Yeah, I he was great during the regular season with 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.880 the Sixers with his role, and then Doc Rivers came 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.800 on and said, look it changed at the All Star 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.880 Game when James wasn't named to the All Star team. 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.440 That's when he think that thinks he he wanted to 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.360 go back and be the James Harden. I'm going to score. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:07.680 I want it, I want my shots there. He's gonna 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.199 want to be the same player when he goes to 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.240 the Clippers. 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:11.000 You know, Dan. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.360 The only thing I would add, though, is if James 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.319 Harden screws this up, I don't know where he plays 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.719 next season. I don't know what the market is for 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:23.160 James Harden next seas. I mean, the backdrop of all 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:27.400 this drama in Philadelphia is that James Harden wanted a 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.440 multi year contract. Like we wouldn't be sitting here having 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:34.640 this conversation if the Sixers offered like three years and 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.559 one hundred million. The Sixers didn't want to do that, understandably, 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.320 but James Harden wants that next deal. So if only 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.880 for the short term, I do think you're going to 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.360 get the very best of James Harden. That's behavior James Harden. 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:52.240 I think the Clippers for one year are going to 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.840 benefit from James Harden, if only, if only out of 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.560 self preservation, you know, wanting to be the best version 0:10:58.600 --> 0:10:59.040 of himself. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.120 Okay, do they Does he have a better chance of 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.040 winning a title with the Clippers than he did with 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.480 the seventy six ers? Uh? 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:16.040 Hard to say. Look, I think the Clippers with what 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.720 they have again on paper, which is always dangerous to do. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.560 The Clippers with what they have have a decent shot 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.079 to get out of the Western Conference. I mean that 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.720 starting five is really good. Zub Botch is a solid center. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.040 Terrence Man, who the Clippers wouldn't give up is you know, 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.120 when he gets back on the court, is a versatile guy. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.000 And George and Kawhi, you know, when they've played together, 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.120 the numbers are outstanding. So if they can keep them 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.200 on the floor, they've got a chance to get out 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.640 of the Western Conference. The problem is, you know, you've 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.560 got two goliaths right now in the Eastern Conference. Not 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.000 to say they are on great teams in the West, 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.800 but at the moment, two of the goliaths out there 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:55.480 are Boston Milwaukee, and I don't know if Philadelphia with 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.640 James Harden could have gotten through either one of. 0:11:58.600 --> 0:11:59.200 Those two teams. 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.400 Could the Clippers with James Harden get through the West? 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.199 I can see. I can see more of a pathway 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.520 for that than I can see the Sixers getting through 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:09.320 the Celtics or Bucks. 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.840 Okay, give me the priority list of best teams in California. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.560 Who's the best Who's the best team in California? 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.160 Golden State's still the best team. I mean, what they 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.319 did to the Pelicans last night was remarkable. I mean 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.760 that was without Klay Thompson and they just stopped on 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.120 New Orleans at home. That was a game that Pelicans 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.760 really want to win to show how far they've come. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:36.120 And let me tell you, Dan, I'm not a huge gambler, 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.800 but I think Chris Paul is like thirteen hundred to 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.880 one to win. Sixth man, I throw a couple bucks 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:45.000 on that. I would Chris Paul as a sixth man 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.240 is excellent. I was looking this up this morning, Dan. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.480 One of the biggest problems with Golden State the last 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.520 couple of years has been the on off minutes with 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.800 Steph Curry. Right Like, when Curry's off the floor, they've 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.480 been terrible. When he's on, He's been great right now, 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.520 And it's a small samp size, I grant you right now, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:06.280 the on off minutes dramatically favored the off for Steph Curry, 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.240 and I think a big part of that is because 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.559 Chris Paul has been leading that second unit for the 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.040 last couple of games. You watch that Pelicans game, you know, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.760 the first stint Chris Paul had with Steph on the bench. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.680 When Steph came back, there were plus six, like this 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:24.040 is a huge difference maker for Golden State. So if again, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:25.880 if you want to want to make a couple of bucks, 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.280 whatever you use, whatever your gambling site is, Chris Paul, 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.280 thirteen hundred plus thirteen hundred feels like a good bet. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.720 Okay, So Golden State best team in the state of California. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.200 The second best team is. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.040 This is going to end with me like dissing Sacramento, 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.000 which I don't want to do, but I would. I'm 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.360 right there neck and neck with the Clippers and the 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.640 Lakers as number two. 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:49.160 You know. 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.720 Again, injuries are going to decide their fate this year. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.320 But I think both those teams are are on an 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.600 even level, and Sacramento to me still a cut below 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.720 just because I can't trust them defensively, especially in the playoffs. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:06.000 You've got to be, you know, a upper half of 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:10.160 the NBA defensive team to really succeed in the playoffs. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.840 And I don't know with this group of guys, which 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.960 are they're really good? I mean, Darren Fox is awesome. 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.120 I've been a fan of Keegan Murray, you know, since 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.160 he was drafted, But they don't have a lot of 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:22.840 plus defenders there and when you don't have a lot 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.040 of plus defenders, you're gonna have trouble winning in the playoffs. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.320 Great to talk to you, so always Chris safe troubles. 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.840 Thank you. That's uh. Chris Mannox Sports Illustrated senior writer. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.640 He's got a crush on Chris Paul. Yeah. I like 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.160 when Chris Paul went there and I go, somebody's got 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:40.920 to tell Chris he's going to be coming off the bench. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.240 And I likened it to when somebody brought that up 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.800 with Carmelo about coming off the bench and he's guys, 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.120 oh are you Oh, you're talking to me, Like, yes, yeah, 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:50.680 we're talking to you. You're going to be coming off 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.120 the bench. Chris Paul coming off the bench makes a 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.840 lot of sense because you've got younger players and now 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.960 you've got a veteran there, and it frees up Chris 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.080 to be the player he's always been, but he also 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.840 helps those younger players. So I thought it was great 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.640 Nick and Cincinnati. Hey Nick, what's on your mind today? 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:16.080 Hey DP, it's six feet two hund do twenty six 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:19.960 time long time. So I got two things. First things first, well, 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:24.040 beef with Fritzy man give you know, be easy on 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.280 the older kids trying to get some candy. They could 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.560 be out doing some stupid stuff, but instead they're being 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.640 little kids and dressing up having some fun. So be 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:33.040 easy on the kids, my man. 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:33.640 Fair enough. 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.680 And then then the second thing I got for you 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.960 is a pie to the face bet. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:40.480 Okay. 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.080 So about forty years ago, after KWHI won the title 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.480 with Toronto, I called in and I said, Toronto is 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:50.920 going to retire his jersey. So I have a pie 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.840 to the face bet that Toronto will retire his jersey. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:56.360 And he was only there one year. 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.520 Uh, Nick, I don't think anybody's going to take you 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.160 up on it, because who else is Toronto going to retire? 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:06.080 I mean, he did win a championship there, and it 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.920 does make sense. So does anybody believe that the Raptors 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:13.760 won't retire Kawhi Leonards jersey? Yeah? I didn't think so 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.800 they will, Yes, mar Vince Carter too, Yeah. No, I'm 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.640 talking about the players now, like Fred van Vliet, is 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.360 he going to get his number retired? No? Is Drake 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.200 going to get a jersey in the. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.280 Rafters without question? 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.920 Okay? More deserving of that, yeah, uh? Fred van Vliet, 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:40.360 Kawhi Drake, Fred van vliet Leo Rautins. Yes, they could. 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.440 Probably put it up there himself without even asking permission 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.440 of pr anybody in the organization. He's just gonna sneak 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:45.560 in there overnight and throw it up there. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:49.280 Yes, Paul, I have it that the thanks Todd, the 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.000 Raptors have been even worth that. 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.280 Yeah, the Raptors have never retired a jersey. Yet they 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.280 have none none jersey all right there, GM said that 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.920 Kyle Lowry, he threw out there that someday he would. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.320 Yeah, man, fine with that. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.240 Vince Carter, you don't knock that one out already. 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:04.160 T Mac. 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.520 Those are those are pretty simple. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.640 What did he ever do? Yes, yes, Marv. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.240 No, Vince Carter, Yes, he just he influenced the country 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.000 to play basketball. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:17.000 Tracy McGrady. 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:21.320 No, he he became the guy. He became the guy 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.119 in Orlando. Let's not do this. Let's not do it, 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:28.400 Vince Carter, without. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.840 Question, Okay, I'm fine with it. I don't care anymore. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.800 And everybody can get their jersey retire. Just let everybody, Marv, 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.200 come on, come on, everybody get their jerseys retired. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:39.880 Pascal Siakim, you yeah. 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.080 Put them up there, all right, let's take a break. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:47.840 We'll talk with Jeremy Fowler ESPN NFL reporter and uh 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.679 last call for phone calls.

By 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.960 the way, the Rangers have won nine straight road playoff games. 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.160 How about that? The Yankees did it twice nineteen thirty 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.359 seven to nineteen forty two and nineteen ninety six nineteen 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:42.680 ninety seven, longest postseason road winning streak in baseball history. 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:48.520 NFL trade deadline for Eastern Here to help us understand 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:53.000 what could happen, might happen, won't happen. Jeremy Fowler, ESPN, 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:57.800 NFL Reporter. What are you hearing now about anybody on 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:01.080 the move that could change what's going to happen later 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:02.040 this postseason? 0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:04.560 Yeah? 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.600 Dan, certainly there's some contending teams that are trying to 0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:09.720 get an extra piece, particularly on defense. You know, pass 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.080 Rusher is a position that's closing right now. Out of Washington, 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.960 they're trying to sort out Montes. Sweat's going to be 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:17.439 a creation at the end of the year. You know, 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.679 Atlanta has been involved there, so can they get to 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.000 the finish line on something before four pm. There's also 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:25.960 some interest in Chase Young, so Washington has a lot 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.760 of decisions to make coming up to the deadline. And 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.960 then in Chicago, Jalen Johnson, really good cornerback, requested a 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.120 trade eight last night and there's a lot of interest, 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:38.920 But Chicago also wants a lot. From what I'm told, 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.240 probably would take at least, you know, a good Day 0:20:42.280 --> 0:20:44.800 two pick, maybe a second rounder or so and even 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.600 change to get that done. But you know, you got 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.840 anyone from San Francisco, Philly to Pittsburgh that all have 0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:52.480 had some interest. 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:57.800 In corner Patrick certain with Denver, is he available? 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.040 I would be shocked. The way it was told to 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:09.520 me is really anybody is available on paper, But the 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:13.040
