Those special episodes come out 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.960 every Sunday. We are now into the top thirty five 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.320 players of the last fifty years in the NBA. And 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.720 so it's a project I've been working on for years. 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.120 It is so excited, exciting, pardon me, to finally be 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.560 able to release it to you. Also, you might notice 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.600 here in a moment with the setup's a little different today. 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.720 I'm doing this show today. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.359 From Los Angeles, which means, for the first time ever 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.600 in the short history of the What's Right with Nick 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.840 Great Podcast, my co host sidekick son Demanse is not 0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:59.800 in the same room as me. He is back at 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.120 the house in New York City. He is sitting in 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.000 the big chair today. He is very happy about this. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.680 Maybe a little too happy about this. We will discuss 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.240 that in just a moment, but we've already shown him 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.440 on camera earlier than we should have. I feel like 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.839 it's all going to his head. So now let's get 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.240 to what we are not discussing on today's show. What 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.079 did not make the cut for today's show is Jake 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.160 Paul fighting in August. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.400 I don't know if Jake Paul will ever make this show. 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.919 Malink willis sliding in the draft, and the fellow who 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.640 announced the Vikings pick might still be talking. I don't 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.480 blame the guy. There is your moment in the sun. 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.560 You know, I mean, take your fifteen minutes, take the 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.480 full fifteen minutes. However, demons, I now, instead of turning 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.120 my chair towards you, just look right into the camera 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.000 and the screen beneath it and ask you, what are 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.360 we starting with today? 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.800 So Celtics lose Game one to the Bucks. Oh, say 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.960 it again, Say it again, buddy. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:58.000 One last game one, yea was just great. Our bet 0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.120 isn't looking too great. 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.400 I might have to recall on that one you tweeted 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.400 that the Nets were so overrated that the Celtics looked 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.360 overrated for sweeping them. Yep, I know you've given you 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.240 Honis his love all year, but even you gotta admit, man, 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.559 you did not think he could beat the Celtics alone. 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.840 Well, he didn't have to beat them alone. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.080 Drew Hollidays better than Kyrie Irving and come to the playoffs, 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.599 and Drew Holiday helped out and they they're a deep team. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.040 And here's the deal. The Nets have been a Ponzi 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.000 scheme for a couple of years, and as often happens 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.760 with Ponzi schemes, there's a lot of people that are 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:34.800 innocent victims. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.400 The innocent victims in this. 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.680 Case was the betting public that bet the Celtics at 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.560 minus two hundred to win the series, like total dopes, 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.279 and my my colleagues in the media that were installing 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.560 the Celtics' favorites because they were treating the Celtics like 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.680 the Celtics have just swept a really good team as 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.920 opposed to sweeping a mediocre team. The Nets have been 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.520 the Hawks for two years now. Maybe the Hawks have 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.320 had more success. No one but me wants to acknowledge it. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.520 So why am I still talking about the Nets? Because 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.920 the Nets were as much at fault for the Celtics 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.839 losing Game One as Jalen Brown was. And by the way, Demons, 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.200 is a little shout out to you and the Celtics. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:17.920 I am wearing your shirt with a little four leaf 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.320 clover on it. But that's as much Celtics helevels you're 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.520 going to get from me today. Because here's the deal. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.640 I don't need the Celtics made the second fewest two 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.840 point baskets any team has ever made an NBA playoff history. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.000 They only made ten twos. You might say, also, they 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.520 made a lot of threes, but that's what Milwaukee wants 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:42.640 you to do. Milwaukee, the last two times they played Boston, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.080 both games, Boston shot fifty threes. And you might say, well, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.400 in today's NBA that should work. It could work, but 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.880 Milwaukee is so good at rim protection and so good 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.640 at not fouling that if you're not getting free throws, 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.000 you're not getting layups, you better be on fire from 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.800 And they had eighteen of them and got blown out. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.720 They had eighteen threes and didn't score ninety points. And 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:11.240 this is no different than playing a video game and 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.560 playing on rookie mode and then all of a sudden 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.520 going to all matt You're not ready for the degree 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.599 of difficulty jump. So Boston played a team in round 0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:23.440 one that had no room protection. The Bucks have the 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.800 best room protection in basketball. They played a team in 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:30.000 round one that takes the worst shots imaginable. Milwaukee takes 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.559 nothing but good shots. And in round one they played 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.640 a team that has no offensive game plan. The Bucks 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:38.200 know exactly what they want to do. So in a 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.080 game where Giannis goes nine for twenty five, Boston still 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.120 gets blown out. And so I'm telling you this much, pal, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.159 it is a must win Game two for Boston. If 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.640 Boston goes down to two at home, this thing is 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.760 over before it starts. So it is a must win 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.760 Game two. Jalen Brown will be better, Marcus Smart might 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.920 be better. But the word for Boston is Jannis didn't 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.120 have some explosion. But Yiannis is to this point in 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:10.680 his career where he can have a bad shooting night 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.120 and still be the best player on the court by 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.680 a mile, control every facet of the game. Bonus, take demons, 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.040 and I want your opinion on this before we move 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:24.040 on the alley oop to himself. Now, you're a guy 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.800 who one of your best traits basketball wise was your athleticism. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.920 You're leaping ability, and you're tall for regular humans, not 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.920 super tall for basketball players. You're six three six four. 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.400 Giannis is six ' eleven. 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:37.800 Right. 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.840 Am I crazy for thinking that alley oop to himself 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.800 should be a part of their regular playbook? I don't 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.880 know how who can guard it if he gets midway 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.240 down the paint and throws it that high off the 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.440 backboard to himself. I think that should not just be 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.160 a break glass in case of emergency play. I think 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.760 they should do that twice a game. What's your opinion 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:02.720 on that as someone that could have I mean. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.440 It was, it was it looked pretty easy. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.640 And I mean, and I know I saw the way 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.920 Jason Tatum was looking after that happened. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.040 It definitely seemed like it kind of took them out 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:13.480 of the game. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.480 Yeah, but yeah, I mean if how easily he executed it, yes, 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:19.560 I mean that should be a. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:20.720 Thing that they do more often. 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.560 If Robert Williams isn't in the game, if the tallest 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.840 Celtic defender is Al Horford, who can't jump. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.000 Then I think you got to do that. 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.120 I think that's actually like a little hack of a 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.199 great way to get two points. All right, what's next? 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:34.920 What are we doing now? And I'm gonna hit the 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.720 clock today throell or high water. If you're watching, we 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:38.880 have ten minutes on the clock. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.560 I'm gonna hit it. Go ahead, what's next? What are 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:41.080 we doing now? 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.640 The Warriors win Game one against the Grizzlies. Yep, even 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:49.400 with Draymond getting ejected Jordan Poole went crazy. John Moran 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.360 is gonna have to I mean, but Memphis, you know, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.640 still stay in the game. John RAN's gonna have to 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.520 play some of his best basketball if they want to 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.200 win this series. Yep, but you know he's still super young. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.760 But he's the best player on a two seed. What 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.600 are realistic expectations for a job Ran in this series? 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:06.839 I think he lived up to him in Game one. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.679 I thought he was excellent in Game one. He missed 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.040 the potential game winning layup, but I mean what it 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.679 was thirty four to nine and ten, I think the No, 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.440 I'm serious, I'm not being sarcastic about this. 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:18.120 I think that. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.120 I picked Grizzlies to go to the conference finals before 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:27.280 the playoffs. I started feeling terrible about that pick midway 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.679 through their series against the timb Bowls. The Timberwolves are 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.320 just such They just play such a dumb brand of 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.800 basketball that it overshadowed the fact Memphis didn't execute great 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.800 at the end of those games. And yesterday, how did 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.959 they execute at the end. They're up three, Klay Thompson 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.640 open three thirty nine seconds left. After the Klay Thompson three, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.319 they don't push the basketball. They don't get a two 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.720 for one instead jog it stripped. Now, I did like 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.319 the play they ran at the very end of the game, 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.960 but they should have had more time than that than 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.240 three point six seconds. But they took forever to commit 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.320 the fouls because they had to commit two just to 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.360 get in that spot, and they got, if we're being honest, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.520 very lucky. Clay Thompson miss both free throws. Here's the 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.719 other big concern for Memphis. They they didn't out offensive 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.080 rebound Golden State. That is their one clear cut advantage. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.680 Well two, pardon me, they have two clear cut advantages. 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.920 One is with Clay being where he is at this 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.520 point in his career, there is no one on Golden 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.640 State that can stay in front of jaw. But the 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.760 other clear cut advantage has to be offensive rebounding. But 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.120 I'm really worried about Memphis. Memphis had to find a 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.680 way to steal that game that they had no business winning. 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.360 But Draymond got ejected, Steph wasn't very good, Clay wasn't 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.640 very good. Josh scored thirty, Jaron Jackson had the game 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.760 of the best game you'll have of all series, and 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:53.240 they still lost. So I'm Memphis. I'm incredibly concerned that 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.640 this thing could get at this series could get out 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.440 of hand quickly. But I think Joh through Game one 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.640 at least is doing about any everything you could have 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.360 asked him, All right, what's next? 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.480 Fair point tape before Game one in Philly Miami, Joe 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.640 Embiid is gonna miss a few games because of this 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.840 face injury. Yep, this could have all been avoided if 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.040 they just won the series in four to five games. 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.160 But you know they still got hardened and that's exactly 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.800 why he's there. Is it crazy to think that Philly 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.920 could still win this series? And how much blame does 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.080 Doc get for leaving em beat in during a blowout 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:27.480 and that leading to an injury. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.400 Yes, let me defend Doc Rivers for a moment here, 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.080 because this is the definition of Monday morning quarterbacking stuff. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.760 Because we all or a lot of us in the 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.120 media who have TV shows. We're on TV Friday, and 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.880 none of us were criticizing Doc Rivers because we didn't 0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.240 know Embiida had got hurt. Nobody was like, by the way, 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.040 why was Joel Embiid in that game? It's only after 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.400 you find out later in the day than in bed Dirt. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:52.960 They're like, oh, it was so dumb to have him 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.880 in the game. The Raptors starters were in. I'm fine 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.760 with Embid being in. This is bad luck. But to 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:04.720 your original question, yeah, I think the media is overs rating. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:06.760 Let me restate it. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.480 I think Philly's got a better chance than the media 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.440 is giving them. I don't know if you saw ESPN 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.800 as twenty NBA writers pick every series. All twenty picked 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:20.120 Golden State, all twenty picked Phoenix, all twenty picked Miami, 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.880 and the only one that was split was Celtics Bucks, 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.720 and thirteen of the twenty picked the Celtics, by the way, 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:32.160 But if the first two were in Philly, I feel 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.160 like this would be worse for the Sixers because you 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.200 need to win your home games. But in a one 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.880 four matchup, if you're the road team and you fall 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.880 down oh two, then you go home for the next two. 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.679 So even if they lose these two games without joellenbi 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.280 because I think you'll be back by game three, they're alive. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.120 But the idea that they have no chance to get 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.720 a split against the Miami team that's pretty banged up themselves, 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.640 I think that's crazy. I think they they do need 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.160 one throw back performance. But when I say throwback, I 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.440 don't mean to four years ago. I mean to four 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.520 weeks ago. Harden his first two games with the Sixers 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.440 was outstanding, and he was very good in Game six, 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:14.000 by the way, against the Raptors. So I picked the 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.000 Sixers before the playoffs to be in the conference finals. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:20.040 All stick with it, assuming in beats back by game three, 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.959 and I think there's a very real chance that they 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.079 steal a game in Miami. Maybe they steal this one tonight, 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.840 but maybe by the time you hear this they've won 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.280 nothing Philly. But even if it's not, I think they're alive. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:33.640 All right. I said I was gonna hit the clock down. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.560 A lot of time left. What's next to Monsea? Oh goy? 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.680 Chris Paul had one of the most amazing playoff games ever. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:45.679 Devin Booker is back. The MAVs barely beat Utah. Your 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:49.680 case is that Lucas experienced in Slvania in the EuroLeague 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:54.079 counts towards the NBA playoffs. Yeah, since we're taking before 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.360 game one, it's your last chance you can. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.960 You can take back your pick of the MAVs. But 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.200 this is the last time that all allow it. You know, 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:01.960 why would I want to take it back? 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:07.640 Luca is currently the second best basketball player a lot. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.720 It is Yannis one, Luca two, and a fight for third. 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.120 He is the best player on his side of the bracket. 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.200 He will be the best player in this series. And 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.720 by the time people hear and see this, he probably 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.440 will have already dropped forty in Game one. The MAVs 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.200 are going to the finals and we'll be right back. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.240 Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here, It's a new year, and 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.479 you know what that means. No, not the diet resolutions, 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.480 a way for us all to try and do a 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.720 little bit better than we did last year. And my resolution, 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.480 unlike Big wireless, is to not be a raging and 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.160 raise the price of wireless on you every chance I get. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.800 Give it a try at midmobile dot com slash switch. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.320 Forty five dollars up front payment required equivalent to fifteen 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:53.800 dollars per month new customers on first three month plan only, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.600 taxes and fees, extra speeds lower about forty gigabytes on 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.720 unlimited cementtmobile dot com for details. 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.320 Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright podcast and 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.720 YouTube show along with my co host who is. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.040 Not an idiot? Demonse? 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.920 Demonse, what are we starting with for the second segment 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:11.680 of today's show. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.960 Let's start off with some mad quarterbacks. Ye Llamar Jackson 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.680 was pissed when Baltimore traded Hollywood Brown and Green Bay 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:22.760 passed on the wide receiver in round one. Again, it 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.880 feels like Green Bay and in the Ravens are purposely 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.040 trying to piss their quarterbacks off. Should teams people are 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.280 focused on making their franchise players happy. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:38.560 So listen in certain situations, yes, in these two specific situations, no, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.520 So you know how the Packers made Aaron Rodgers happy. 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.240 They gave him all the money he wanted. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:48.200 We learned this whole thing was about money, money, power, respect. 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.600 He wasn't getting the power, so they gave him the 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.680 money to show him the respect. And now they're going 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.600 to run the team how they see fit. A lot 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.720 of people thought they're gonna draft a receiver in round one. 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:00.000 Rogers told McAfee, Hey, I knew who they were target 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.640 round one. Once those guys weren't available, I wasn't surprised 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.360 they didn't get him. Now, the draft knicks will tell 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.600 you that the Packers reached on that linebacker in round one. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.080 So maybe that should be a little concerning, and that 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.880 the Packers didn't you know that they actually reached with 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.720 their first two picks because they of course had the 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.920 extra pick thanks to the Demonte Adams trade. Maybe that's concerning, 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.360 But I think Rogers is perfectly content given the fact 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.720 he got paid. The Lamar Jackson Hollywood Brown Brown thing 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:31.280 is very simple. The Cardinals got fleased. Giving up the 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.080 twenty third pick of the draft for a guy who 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.960 is not one of the twenty three best receivers in 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.800 football is such a total win for Baltimore. They need 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.680 to communicate that to Lamar. What was weird was that Lamar, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.920 according to Hollywood Brown, he told Lamar he didn't want 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.840 to be there. He knew Lamar knew that Hollywood wanted 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.360 a trade, and Lamar still seemed all shocked by it. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.600 And so, but they've got to sit Lamar down and say, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.520 we are one of, if not the best run franchise 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:00.000 in the NFL. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.000 With our first first. 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.560 Round pick, we got a guy who could have been 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:05.840 a top five pick in Kyle Hamilton, the safety from 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.520 Notre Dame. With our second first round pick instead of 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.600 a third fourth tier wide receiver in Hollywood Brown, who 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.240 was about to become more expensive. We got a center 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.240 who could be the starting center here for the next 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.600 ten years. Center is the safest position to draft in 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.320 the first round. Historically, centers that go in the first 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.080 round one hundred percent of them. 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:26.840 I heard this star in. 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.680 The draft have gotten a second contract in this league 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:30.480 over the last. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.760 Twenty years, which means they have been zero true busts. 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:35.359 And you just got to tell Lamar, like, if aj 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.240 Brown nets the eighteenth pick, the fact of the matter 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.879 is that you could get the twenty third pick for 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.440 Hollywood Brown. Is just it shows that the Cardinals don't 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.679 know what they're doing. The Cardinals are an example if 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.359 you ask me of a team trying too hard to 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:58.040 appease their quarterback. I think that Kyler Murray wanted Hollywood Brown, 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.880 so they went out and got him, and they paid 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.200 one hundred and eighty cents on the dollar for him, 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.880 and so I think that there are certain star players 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:10.080 you need to acquies to their demands. These two specific instances, 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.480 I understand what the teams did, particularly the one in Baltimore. 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.199 I think that was very simple. 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.800 Arizona called up and said, we want to give you 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.800 the twenty third pick for Hollywood, Brown and Baltimore. Eric 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.080 to Costain Baltimore said, deal, no takebacks, call over, send 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.879 it in. You don't wait on them to reconsider that 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:29.880 all right now? I think we're playing a game this 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.120 or that demons. 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:31.919 What's first up? 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.560 Patriots drafted quarterback in the fourth round who also sets 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.760 the records for most passing yards in FBS history. Yep, 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.440 mac Jones should be worried or not worried. Oh, he 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.320 should be worried. He should be worried because no matter what, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:51.040 this is bad sign. The first option is the Patriots 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:52.960 are not sold on mac Jones and they want some 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:54.000 mac Jones insurance. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:54.879 That's not a good sign. 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:58.640 The second option is they're trying to motivate him, trying 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.720 to add a little chip on a shore, like, hey, Mac, 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:04.600 maybe a little less time in the trademark office and 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.679 practice in you're gritty and a little more time. 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.679 Brined and tape. Uh. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.360 That wouldn't be a good sign. Option three is the one. 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.960 I think the Patriots flatley just don't know what they're doing. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.360 That they they're a terrible drafting team. That Belichick has 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.720 lost his fastball and his slider and his changeup. When 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.480 it comes to the draft, none of their picks made 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.679 sense according to the people that say listen, I'm not 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:31.479 someone that has their own mock draft, but I know 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.359 what the mock drafts say. I know what the supposed 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.040 experts on TV say, and they were all unanimous that 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.760 the Patriots had the biggest reach of the first round, 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.560 a massive reach in round two. And I love the 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:47.399 fact that my chiefs made two separate draft day trades 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.359 with the Patriots because I look at the Patriots as 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.240 the sucker at the poker table. You want to keep 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:54.199 doing business with him, you want to keep getting in 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.439 hands with him, and so I just I think the 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.400
