If you were the. 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: Milwaukee Bucks, you would seventy four percent of the audience 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 3: have us trading him in the best fit for Giannis 21 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 3: is right now in New York, followed by san Antonio 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 3: dominating that. 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Poolecost Okay, we bring in Brian Winhorns to the mothership. 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: ESPN senior NBA writer, How did we get to this point? Ryan? 25 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: With Jannis in the Bucks? 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 4: Not one hundred percent sure where we are because one 27 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 4: of the things that I've been talking to league executive 28 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 4: types about in the last twenty four hours is do 29 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 4: we think that this time the Honis will actually go 30 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 4: all the way and formally say it's time to trade me, 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 4: because he's rattled the saber before. And you know, one 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 4: of the more fascinating stories that came out of this 33 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 4: whole summer, and it didn't come out in the summer. 34 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 4: It came out in October and Shamstererania, my colleague at ESPN, 35 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: reported it. But in August, Janice talked to the Bucks 36 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 4: and different people can use different verbs here, and I'm 37 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 4: not trying to like step on anybody, but he showed 38 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 4: an interest in wanting to be on the New York Knicks, 39 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 4: and to the point where the Knicks and the Bucks 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 4: had trade talks. And I know what Doc River said yesterday, 41 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 4: said Giannis didn't ask to be traded. Okay, he may 42 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 4: not have said those words. I promise you the Bucks 43 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 4: it wasn't their idea, okay. And I know that it 44 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 4: caught the Knicks by surprise, Dan. And you know how 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 4: I know because like two weeks before, they signed Mikhale 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 4: Bridges to a contract extension, a really good contract extension, 47 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: nice one. And it's not that they wouldn't have signed 48 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: him or that they absolutely were going to trade him 49 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 4: in that deal, but once you signed him to that, 50 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 4: you can't trade him for six months. So if you 51 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 4: were thought that you were about to potentially enter a 52 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 4: very important negotiation, you wouldn't take one of those guys 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 4: off the table. So I think it caught the Knicks 54 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 4: off guard too. And so what I think happened was 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 4: it was Yiannis's idea. Now you can bring people on 56 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: here and have them testify or whatever. It's fine. The 57 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 4: talks took place, okay. And the important thing is Jannis 58 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 4: watched what the Bucks did over the summer, which was 59 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 4: do this crazy move. It was a two hundred million 60 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 4: dollar move. They cut Dame, making one hundred million dollars 61 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: in dead money, and then they signed Miles Turner for 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 4: one hundred million. So they took one hundred million dollar problem, 63 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 4: which was a player in his thirties recovered from Achilles, 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 4: and they made it a two hundred dollars investment for 65 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: a Miles Turner, who is a quality player just helped 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: the team to get to the finals. Excellent, a high 67 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 4: quality role player, but not a star player. He saw 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 4: those moves and then he said, I have some interest 69 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 4: in becoming a Nick. Okay, So that happened, and it 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: didn't come out until October. And at that point, Yannis 71 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 4: they had signed his two brothers, you know, and Yiannis 72 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 4: was playing for the Bucks and everything. But like that 73 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: was a real indication of what y where Yannis's head 74 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 4: was at. Here's the other thing. Yannis's family moved to Greece. 75 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 4: If you know anything about Yannis, the family is extraordinarily 76 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: important to him. It's one of the reasons why the 77 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 4: Bucks have signed his two brothers, because they know how 78 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 4: important it is to have his family with him. That 79 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: he sent his fair He might have had ten reasons 80 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 4: to send his family to Greece. But again, these are 81 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: actions that you're looking at going you know, so what 82 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 4: the league is wondering is knowing what happened in the summer, 83 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: knowing about the other stuff, knowing that the team is 84 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 4: not doing well, although they had their best win of 85 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 4: the year last night they beat the Pistons without Yanis. 86 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: Will Janis actually go forward and say, Okay, I wanted 87 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 4: to because I don't think the Bucks are going to 88 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 4: get there Dan, because the Bucks are so mortgaged and 89 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 4: so deeply invested in keeping him, and I actually don't 90 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 4: blame them. And so that's really what the question is 91 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 4: is is will Yannis take the next step besides the 92 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: saber rattling that he's done before? 93 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: Why the Knicks? 94 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: Good question? 95 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 5: You know? 96 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 4: He he really you know, in all of the on 97 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 4: all of the discussions from Jannis and from John Horst, 98 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 4: their general manager and doc, no one denied those talks 99 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 4: took place. The Knicks certainly didn't deny it, and I thought, 100 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 4: I know that they happened. And you know, I will 101 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 4: say that if you were in a vacuum choosing where 102 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: to go, you would want to go to the Eastern Conference. 103 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 4: You know, I think you know, you know you we 104 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: want to stay East. And so if you looked at 105 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference and you said, well, where would I 106 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 4: want to be as a player. Where do I think 107 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: I can you know, make a big impact? Where could 108 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 4: we win right away? 109 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: Like New York. 110 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 4: Rises to the top. You can make some cases for 111 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 4: some other teams, you know, Miami for example, you know, 112 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: maybe Atlanta, maybe Boston all that that type of tray 113 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 4: would be a lot more complicated. But like you know, 114 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 4: if you go through that process, I could see how 115 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: you know, Toronto would be as it would be an 116 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: interesting team. Now that's actually kind of an interesting team 117 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 4: because you know, you know, national players seem to like Toronto. 118 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: But I think, you know, in August, I think New 119 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 4: York made some sense, and it may not have made 120 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: some sense from what the Knicks were in position to 121 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 4: trade at the time. And I certainly don't think the 122 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: Bucks were motivated to do it, like they probably wanted 123 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 4: everything the Knicks could possibly offer before they would even 124 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 4: get mildly interested. But that's the other question is if 125 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: Jannis does so that There's really three questions that have 126 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 4: been involved on my phone for the last twenty four hours. One, 127 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 4: will Jannis actually go to the point where he says 128 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: I want to be traded because he hasn't gotten to 129 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: that point yet or before two. If he does get traded, 130 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 4: will the list be longer than the Knicks than it 131 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: was just a one team thing over the summer? And Three, 132 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: if Jannis has a let's let's say there's three teams, 133 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: let's say there's six teams, whatever, do the Bucks have 134 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 4: to do business with just his list? Because he does 135 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 4: have one year left on his contract plus a player option, 136 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 4: so next year you'd be faced with having Giannis in 137 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 4: a walk year. So typically in that situation, you would 138 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 4: if you were trading for a guy, you'd want to 139 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: know he is staying, especially if you're given a lot 140 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 4: of stuff for him. But it's funny, Dan, As I've 141 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: talked to people in the league. People don't necessarily think 142 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 4: that would necessarily be true with Yannis. So I'm not sure. 143 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: But those are the three questions and the topics that 144 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: are going around the league right now. 145 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: I'm guessing Brunson would be off limits with the Knicks. 146 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 2: That'd be the only guy that'd be off limits. 147 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 4: I would advise them, I haven't. I don't have insight 148 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 4: on I don't have insight on that, but I would 149 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 4: do so. The challenge with the Knicks is they really 150 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 4: don't have meaningful draft assets to give. Some of these 151 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 4: other teams we could mention have their own draft picks, 152 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 4: and other teams draft picks that they can offer. The 153 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 4: Knicks don't have draft picks, so you would have to 154 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 4: make it a player based trade. And here's the thing 155 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 4: about the Bucks that's important to understand the Bucks, and 156 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: this is this sort of backs up why they've double 157 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 4: tripled Paul drippled down. They don't control I think their 158 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 4: next three or four drafts. They've either traded the pick 159 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 4: away or they've traded the swap away. Certainly this year 160 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: and next year, I know for sure, I think even 161 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 4: twenty eight two. And so when you're in that position, 162 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 4: you really can't enter into a trade thinking, well, we're 163 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: going to rebuild because you don't control your pick. And 164 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 4: there's a few teams in the NBA right now who 165 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 4: are in bad shape but don't control their pick, and 166 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 4: they're in hell and so Milwaukee would probably have if 167 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 4: they you know, Milwaukee's probably doesn't want this happen at all, 168 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: but if they get to the point they have to 169 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 4: trade them, they're probably going to look to make a 170 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 4: player based trade. Or the draft asks that that they're 171 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 4: going to get are going to be third party teams. 172 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 4: In other words, if you do a team with if 173 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: you do a deal with the team that you're trading 174 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 4: y honest to you, and you're getting their picks for 175 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 4: the next couple of years, that's not that exciting because 176 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 4: that team stayed going to be good. If that team 177 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: has a third team's picks, yeah, you'd be interested in 178 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 4: that so that it doesn't rely on your performance or 179 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 4: that team with Giannis's performance. But now you're threading a needle. 180 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: So that's another reason why New York would make some sense. 181 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 4: They have some players that the Bucks could get that 182 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 4: would help them retrofit their team. 183 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: Right now, I'm talking to Brian win Horst, ESPN, Senior 184 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: NBA writer, help me understand the Chris Paul situation of 185 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: why it had to happen on the road in Atlanta. 186 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 4: Well, that seems crazy, you know. And one of the 187 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 4: things that Lawrence Frank, So, first off, Lawrence Frank had 188 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 4: this press conference yesterday. The general manager of the President, 189 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 4: I meik it's the president is its title, And first off, 190 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: he said, put all the blame on me, which maybe 191 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: Lawrence wanted to do it, but I promise you it 192 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: was not only him who wanted to do. 193 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: It, but. 194 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 4: Doing it the way they did it. He said that 195 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 4: they made the decision on Sunday. Dan, Okay, let's just 196 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 4: let's just take that for the truth. Why was he 197 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 4: in Miami on Monday? They're starting a long road trip 198 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 4: and you know, Lawrence explained that the reason this happened 199 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 4: in the middle of the night was because their flight 200 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 4: was delayed by five hours, which it was. They didn't 201 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 4: land in Atlanta Airport until nine thirty. You know how 202 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 4: long it is to get from Atlanta Airport to downtown. 203 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 4: It doesn't take five minutes. They met at eleven o'clock. 204 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: In the meeting went several hours. So why do you 205 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 4: do it at eleven o'clock? You know, I don't you know? 206 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 4: So like, the actual functionality of the way they handled 207 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 4: it is wretched. The decision. You've been around sports for 208 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 4: a long time. When you have a player who is 209 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 4: very vocal, who all of a sudden has a small role, 210 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 4: it doesn't work. Chris Paul's whole career, he's been very vocal. 211 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 4: He's been vocal with the officials, he's been vocal with 212 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 4: his coach, the opposing coach. He's been vocal with the 213 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 4: opposing star player, with his star play, with his role players. 214 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: Imagine what he says off the court. You can just 215 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 4: see what he says on the court. And when you're 216 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 4: the star player and the point guard and you're playing 217 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 4: all eighty two games and your team is competing for 218 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 4: conference titles or whatever, that's one thing. When you're doing 219 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 4: that and the team is sinking and you're of a 220 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 4: much smaller role, it doesn't work. I knew this twenty 221 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 4: years ago when I started the NBA. This is a 222 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 4: bit of a classic case situation. And you could say, well, 223 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: then why the Clippers bring him in knowing that he 224 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 4: would have a small role and that this was possible. 225 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: That's fair, And I would just say that of the 226 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 4: Clippers miscalculations this season, it's on the list. But there's 227 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 4: a long list of Clippers miscalculations so far. 228 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: When do you feel like we'll get a true sense 229 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: of Lebron's role with the Lakers? If is he a 230 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: third option now? And you know, I guess the future 231 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 2: of how long does he want to play? Feel like 232 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: he can play and being a maybe a third option 233 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: for the Lakers and what role that plays. 234 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 4: It's an interesting set of circumstances that's happened because I 235 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 4: thought Lebron was awesome last year. He was second team 236 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 4: All NBA. I thought he looked great. You know, the 237 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 4: Lakers had a disappointing end of the season. There was 238 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 4: a bad matchup for them with Minnesota. But I thought 239 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 4: that they really achieved in the regular season. They got 240 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 4: the three seed. I mean, I know, the difference between 241 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 4: the three and the six was really tight, but they 242 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 4: got it. And you know, people were saying to me, 243 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 4: why do you think this is it for Lebron, And 244 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 4: I'm like, no, Like, look at him. He's still one 245 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 4: of the top ten to fifteen players in the league. 246 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 4: And then a couple of things happened. First off, he 247 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 4: had two injuries dan So he sprained his knee in 248 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 4: the last playoff game against the Wolves. In fact, had 249 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 4: they extended that series, I don't know if he could 250 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 4: have played. He missed training, he was out for weeks. 251 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 4: He had He's never missed a playoff game in all 252 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 4: you know, twenty years in the playoffs, he's never missed 253 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 4: a playoff game. I'm not sure you've been able to 254 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 4: play in the next game. 255 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: So he had this knee injury. 256 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 4: Then he hits the sciatica, so he has the most 257 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 4: injured off season he's ever had, which maybe isn't a 258 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 4: surprise at age forty, but it's still completely new. Also, 259 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 4: they get Luca, so Lebron was already having a great season. 260 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 4: Lebron played well when Luca after Luca got there, but 261 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 4: the Luca thing happens. Then he has the injuries. Okay, 262 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 4: so these are two things that we've never seen. We've 263 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 4: never seen him not be the A one A guy 264 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 4: on his team. We've never seen him have off season 265 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 4: injuries before. Then his team without him plays really really well. 266 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 4: Absolutely never happened. Maybe his team has been able to 267 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: keep their nose above water when he's been out, whether 268 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: it's been for you know, a week or a month, 269 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 4: They've never achieved. You've never looked at a team that 270 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 4: has missed Lebron for multiple games and gone, man, they're 271 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 4: doing great. And Austin Reeves is having a career year. 272 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: So you've got this series of circumstances that he's never 273 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 4: experienced before. Not to mention not getting able to start 274 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 4: a season not having to have a training camp, so 275 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 4: we are in completely unknown territory for him. It would 276 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: be unknown territory if any one of those things was true. 277 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: Now the whole menu is true. And by the way, 278 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: he rejoins the team as the number one score in 279 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 4: the history of the league, where the two guys on 280 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 4: his team are in the top ten in scoring, Reeves 281 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: and Luca are like one in nine. I don't have 282 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 4: and checked it today. Maybe Reeves dropped a little bit, 283 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 4: but when he came back, I think they were one 284 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 4: in eight. So you're asking, you're this is a completely 285 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: different situation he's ever done. And the team's winning, you know, 286 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 4: you're not coming in and boy, the team struggling, and 287 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 4: now you got so I think he is absolutely in 288 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 4: a little bit of the deep end of the pool 289 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 4: that he's never been in before. I mean, how as 290 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 4: it's been since Lebron's been in a situation that he 291 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 4: hasn't not only seen but mastered. So this is awkward 292 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 4: and he's showing his age. 293 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 6: You know. 294 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 4: The other night in that game was really a game 295 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: where I really looked thought Lebron looked like an older 296 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 4: player for the first time, where he wasn't getting left. 297 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: I mean, he had no rebounds, no steals, no blocks. 298 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 4: That's never happened in twenty three years, thousands of games. 299 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 4: So you're asking a really relevant question. I don't think 300 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 4: anybody knows. I think he's going through this day to 301 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 4: day trying to figure it out. 302 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: Would you be more surprised if he played another year 303 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: or he retired at the end of this year? 304 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 4: I am. I thought, you know, even as recently as 305 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 4: last spring, he has years left. I was not entertaining 306 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 4: that this was going to be it regardless of the contract, 307 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 4: which as that's also something he's never experienced before, but 308 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: is not really relevant. I don't think that's affecting his 309 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 4: day to day. 310 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Now. 311 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just in the middle of I don't know, 312 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 4: and I know it's an unsatisfactory answer, and I think 313 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 4: Lebron has pretty much said the same thing. He said, 314 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 4: I don't know. I think Rich Paul, his agent, has 315 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 4: said I don't know. I don't know. But that's that's 316 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 4: a departure from me because I was in the camp 317 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 4: of this guy could Tom Bradiot like I mean, and 318 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 4: he still could Tom Bradiot, but if you watched him 319 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: play last year. There's no way you said that's a 320 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 4: guy about to retire. 321 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 2: Wendy, thank you. I know you're busy. Thanks for joining. 322 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 5: Have a good day. 323 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: That's Brian Windhorst, ESPN Senior NBA writer, and I remember 324 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: when he brought this up. It was in the preseason 325 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: about Giannis and the Knicks, and then it kind of just, 326 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: I don't know, that flittered away, and then all of 327 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: a sudden it resurfaced, and then you know, Shams is 328 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: talking about he wants out, and next thing you know, 329 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: he's playing in the game last night and then he's 330 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: out in the first quarter, gets injured. Now all of 331 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: a sudden trade speculation and which teams could pony up 332 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: for Giannis. But Brian was on that story a few 333 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 2: months ago. We'll take a break. We'll get to more 334 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: phone calls coming up.

Hey? 351 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 8: Dan, got a big game tonight Dallas and Detroit. 352 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 9: Wanted to run something by you. 353 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 8: You know, it's Christmas time and there's no cowboys gearing 354 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 8: the DP store. If the Cowboys win tonight, trade up 355 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 8: some shirts, says Jerry. 356 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 10: Was right. 357 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 2: Uh, we don't have to print up T shirts to 358 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: say some of that, you know. But we were talking 359 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: about the mikeh and thank you for the phone call, Cody. 360 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: I know Jerry's getting credit a little more credit, but 361 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: if they don't bring in Quinn Williams, then that defense 362 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: is not as formidable as it's been. We're talking about 363 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 2: Michael Parsons and the trade they made with Michael Parsons. 364 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: I didn't think was a great trade for Dallas, but 365 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 2: if you get assets from the packers and you can 366 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: use them and then you bring in Quinn Williams. Okay, 367 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: now we can assess that trade. And I think Dallas, 368 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: let's put it this way, green Bay is going to 369 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 2: do that trade no matter what. If you said, hey, 370 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: you want to do it again, green Bay is going 371 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 2: to say yes, and Dallas can say we'll do it 372 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 2: again because we're going to bring in Quinn Williams. Yes, Yes, Pauling. 373 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 6: The one thing about Quinn Williams, he's way less expensive 374 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 6: than Michah Parsons. He's eight and a half millions this year, 375 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 6: He's twenty two million next year and twenty five million 376 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 6: the next year after that twenty twenty seven, So it's 377 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 6: half the investment, less than half the investment for a 378 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 6: pretty high end player who's still in his prime. 379 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't have a pass rusher. So he's 380 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 2: really good at what he's being paid to do. But 381 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 2: Michaeh Parsons is in an elite category. He's going to 382 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: be second for Defensive Player of the Year. He's still 383 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 2: a great player and he's a difference maker. Quinn Williams 384 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 2: is one of those guys that you have to watch 385 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: the game and you go, man, he's in on a 386 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 2: lot of these tackles and he kind of clutters up 387 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: the middle. He does that, and he's been great. And 388 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 2: Dallas is a better than average defense now, and that's 389 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 2: what we said. If they were better than average, it's 390 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: with that offense that's above average, they would be a 391 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: playoff team. So it's no surprise. But Jerry, Jerry fumbled 392 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 2: the Michaeh Parsons deal because that could have been done 393 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: a while ago, and Jerry let pride and Ego get 394 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: into it and then they it turned out good. It 395 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 2: turned out well for Dallas, but Green Bay is probably 396 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 2: thrilled that they have Michael Parsons. Yeah, Pauling. 397 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 6: They also got George Pickens for a third round draft 398 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 6: pick and a fifth round in twenty twenty seven, which 399 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 6: this year working out fantastic. 400 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 7: Yeah. 401 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 2: Yeah. They took a chance on a guy who was 402 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 2: in the final year of his contract and it's turned 403 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 2: out well. But there's the reason why I didn't work 404 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: out in Pittsburgh, and that would would be what I 405 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 2: would be aware of or be aware of, because once 406 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 2: he gets that contract and he's gonna want Cede Lamb 407 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: money and he is outperformed Cede Lamb, Are you going 408 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: to give him that kind of money? So you'd be 409 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: wrapped up with DA's money, Cede Lamb, and then you'd 410 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: have George Pickens, so you would have what almost you'd 411 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: have one hundred million dollars in three players. That would 412 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: be a little bit of a concern for me, just 413 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: a little bit. PAULI brought this up to me yesterday 414 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: and we weren't on the air, and he said he 415 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 2: was kind of joking, but you know, kind of half serious. 416 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: And he goes, here's Notre Dame and Notre Dame not 417 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 2: in the conference, so they can't play another game. And 418 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 2: if they could play another game and maybe they beat 419 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: Air Force Academy or something, you kind of stay in 420 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: the conversation and maybe that helps your playoff push. Here 421 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: what turns out Vanderbilt, according to ESPN Pete Thamil, Vanderbilt 422 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: was trying to schedule another game. They're not going to 423 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: be in the SEC title game, and Vandy was like, well, okay, 424 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: we got two losses, we're not going to be in 425 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: the playoff picture. I think they might be thirteenth and 426 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: they're ten and two, and they're saying, can we schedule 427 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: the game, and I don't know if the NCAA or 428 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: the SEC said no, you can't as much as they 429 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: were obstacles to try to play that game. But I 430 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 2: don't know. Is there a limit on the number of 431 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 2: games that you can play during a regular season? As 432 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: college football cap the number of games that you can 433 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 2: play during the regular season, because we know if you 434 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, you're going to play you know, 435 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: two three more games. But can you add just add 436 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 2: a game? Vanderbilt tried and they were told that there 437 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 2: are too many obstacles in the way. This according to ESPN, 438 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: Yes Pauling. 439 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 6: But according to this ES report, it was that they 440 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 6: couldn't get it together in time to put together game. 441 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 6: Not necessarily that the SEC or NCAA said no to them, 442 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 6: but what a sport that the team says, you know what, 443 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 6: with a week's notice, we're going to add a football 444 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 6: game just to boost our resume. An exhibition game, I guess, 445 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 6: exempt game. And that is even a possibility in the 446 00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 6: sport that was pursued. 447 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 2: Wait, it was going to be an exhibition game, Well, it. 448 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 6: Was going to be an exempt game, like it's not 449 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 6: on the regular schedule or be just an add on game, 450 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 6: like you said, versus Army or Yukon or someone like that. 451 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 6: That's independent, But it's unclear that if they could have 452 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 6: done it, if they got their stuff together. 453 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: Well, I wonder about this when you have conference title 454 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 2: games and then you have some schools that you know, 455 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 2: Notre Dame doesn't have a conference that they're in. You 456 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 2: know that's on Notre Dame. But could Notre Dame have 457 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 2: added a game, you know, if it was Army, Like, 458 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: what's the downside to that other than if you don't 459 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: play well? But I think they're trying to stay in 460 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: the conversation. And their schedule in the second half of 461 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: the season wasn't very good. You know, you're watching them 462 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 2: play really good football, but you're not going, oh, they 463 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 2: beat Oklahoma or they beat Tennessee. Yes, tod the schedule. 464 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 5: Is the schedule That is ridiculous that they would even 465 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 5: entertain the thought of allowing such a thing. This is 466 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 5: your schedule, here's your opportunity. These are the schools. Some 467 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 5: of them make you decided to play against, whether it's 468 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 5: a strong or not strong team. And that's just the 469 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 5: way it is. When it's over, it's over. That's your 470 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 5: winter loss record. You can all of a sudden try 471 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 5: to add a game. Think about that in any other sport, 472 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 5: that'll be insane seatan. 473 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 3: You know, football teams pro or NFL, or at pro 474 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 3: or college don't seem to be in the business of 475 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 3: just adding games because it'd be fun, you know. 476 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there's a bigger picture here, and that is 477 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 2: we want to stay on your radar. We want to 478 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: show you just how good we are we're not playing. 479 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: I don't think Notre Dame doesn't have that problem with 480 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: staying on the radar. They don't need an extra game 481 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: to be like, ah, I see, we actually do deserve it. 482 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: If anything, you're risking like injury and other loss another 483 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 3: the downside to me is way stronger than you know, 484 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 3: throwing in another game to be like, ah see, we 485 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 3: beat them too. 486 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think even Notre Dame needs a little attention. 487 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 2: You got Marcus free been going on to the Today Show, 488 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 2: fly to New York, go on to Today Show and 489 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: talk about Notre Dame and then the season, and that 490 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: just felt like a uh oh, we got to get 491 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: something going here. We got to get people, you know, 492 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: continuing to talk about us, because if BYU beat Texas Tech. 493 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: I don't think Notre Dame's in. 494 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: Notre Dame is like the only school that has their 495 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 3: own network or where they were for the longest time. 496 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 2: That the whole thing. 497 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 3: The biggest criticism of Notre Dame since my whole life 498 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 3: has been that they're so overexposed. 499 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: Well, then why go on the Today Show. The timing 500 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: of that to go on the Today Show was just surprising. 501 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: I think for Marcus Freeman that yes, you're with NBC 502 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 2: and there's some programming with behind the scenes with Notre 503 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 2: Dame football. 504 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's he's the only coach in the 505 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: country that can do that because because he's the Notre 506 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 3: Dame head coach, not because he's like begging for airtime. 507 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 3: He's he's the only one. They're not having any other 508 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: college coaches on. They just had that one on because 509 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 3: that's how. 510 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 2: Big they are. Well, no, they have a partnership with NBC, 511 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 2: But why would he go to New York to talk 512 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: about a behind the scenes Notre Dame series that's not 513 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: on NBC. It felt like he was It felt like 514 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 2: it was twofold. It was like, Hey, just letting everybody 515 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 2: know what we do at Notre Dame football branding maybe 516 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: for an audience that's not really a football audience. That 517 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 2: to me was surprising. It felt like there was It 518 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: felt like there was more to that that he's going 519 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: on the Today Show just to remind people or say, hey, 520 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: we're Notre Dame football and they may get left out 521 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: of the playoffs. 522 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 11: Yes, Mart, but Notre Dame feels like the last school 523 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 11: that needs this at all in any way, shape or form. 524 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 11: But also, if they beat Army, say they play another game, Okay, great, 525 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 11: you beat Army, You're still not getting in the playoffs. 526 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 11: And then you would have to molly wat them. You 527 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 11: would have to kill them because college football is about 528 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 11: style points. So if you play them and you beat 529 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 11: Army twenty to ten, they're gonna be look it barely 530 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 11: beat a service academy, so they're not gonna give it. 531 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 2: If Vandy plays Army, they're not getting into the playoffs. 532 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 2: But they were trying to play another game. Yet. 533 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 11: I don't see the point in this either way for 534 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 11: either school. 535 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 6: Why yeah, Paul, I have a little more detail on this, 536 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 6: this bandy thing. According to Yahoo Sports, it would be 537 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 6: a game that would never count on their official record 538 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 6: in the nca record books. If they added a game 539 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 6: this weekend, and there's no guarantee that the playoff committee 540 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 6: would look at it or be allowed to look at 541 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 6: it because it's not a game under the NCAA's jurisdiction. 542 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 6: And I looked up Diego Povey is not on the 543 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 6: view tomorrow. He's not chopping up with the ladies. 544 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, but he might be on the CBS Morning 545 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 2: Show with Gail King. 546 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 12: Check it. 547 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course if he brings, if he brings his mom, 548 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 2: then they would probably have them on. Absolutely adding another 549 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: game though, it was kind of interesting. Yeah, but PAULI 550 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: brought that up with Notre Dame. If you play another game, 551 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 2: and I'm like, unless you're playing a really good team 552 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 2: that you know on a neutral sight or something, then maybe, 553 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 2: but I can't see them. Ay, we're gonna play Army, 554 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 2: all right, man, And we won forty four to seven. 555 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: We should be in the playoffs. Yeah, Paul. 556 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 6: If BYU wins and Notre Dame is out of the playoffs, 557 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 6: the BYU Texas Bowl game matchup would be the best 558 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 6: one you could put together. I don't know which ball 559 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 6: would have first, right, Citrus Bowl or whatever it may be. 560 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 6: But if you could put together Texas and Notre Dame 561 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 6: in a bowl game' that'd be fantastic. 562 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Tom. 563 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 5: If a school would ever have the right to play 564 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 5: one extra game to prove that they belong in, it 565 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 5: should work the other way as well. Any other school 566 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 5: that are on the fence should be forced them to 567 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 5: play a game and they run the risk of getting 568 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 5: knocked out if it looked like they were going to 569 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 5: get that eleven or twelfth spot. You can't just work 570 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 5: one way. At the very end, you create this new game. 571 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: A couple of phone calls here eight seven to seven 572 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: to three DP show Adam in La Hi, Adam, what's 573 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: on your mind today? 574 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 12: Hey? 575 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 10: Dad, I think there is someone onto something here that 576 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 10: could satisfy sort of the Oh we got screw we 577 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 10: were left out. What about the two teams that are 578 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 10: sort of on the bubble here, like Vanderbilt Notre Dame. 579 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 10: You guys play for the twelfth spot. We've called you 580 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 10: guys thirteen and twelve, and you guys play it out. 581 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: A play in game, is what you're talking about, Adam.

But next weekend, not this weekend. 587 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 6: Is Army Navy stand alone. There are FCS games playoff games, 588 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 6: but that would be a touchy one because Army Navy 589 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 6: gets the weekend to themselves. Of course, tradition usually gets 590 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 6: bought out. But if you could have an night game 591 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 6: after Army Navy at the day game, it's a playing 592 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 6: game that could possibly work. 593 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 2: Boy Fred and Fred in West Virginia. Hey, Fred, what's 594 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: on your mind? 595 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 12: Hey Dan? 596 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 13: Thank you for working through it this week man, you're 597 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 13: doing a great job in the spirit of great content, 598 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 13: which we all know you of. Wendy made me think 599 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 13: a little bit the possibility of Giannis going to Dallas Mavericks. 600 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 13: They can get under they can get out from under 601 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 13: a d They've got some they've got some draft they 602 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,959 Speaker 13: could offer up. I think it would be a lot 603 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 13: of fun to watch. 604 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 2: Okay, but here's the thing, Fred, we always look at 605 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: these trades and they're one sided, and you go, boy, 606 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 2: look at what Dallas is going to get If I'm Milwaukee, 607 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 2: I don't want Anthony Davis. I don't like I want 608 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: Cooper Flag, but I don't Why would I want Anthony Davis. 609 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: Dallas probably doesn't want Anthony Davis. Thank you for I 610 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 2: could put Giannis in there with Dallas, but you make 611 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 2: it seem like I don't know somebody won Anthony Davis. Uh, 612 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 2: I don't know? And what are you getting in return 613 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 2: for Anthony Davis?

Adding 639 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 1: a thirteenth game can't just happen, Especially for appeal to 640 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: the committee. 641 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 2: There is a Hawaii exemption. A Hawaii exemption, if an 642 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 2: FBS team plays a game in Hawaii, it's allowed to 643 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: schedule one additional regular season game. It applies whether the 644 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: team travels to Hawaii or host to Hawaii.

They used to have dry spells 697 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 6: where they go eight or nine years or not even 698 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 6: a postseason appearance. They haven't gone very deep, but they're 699 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 6: in it ish well. 700 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 2: Half the league makes the playoffs.

They make the playoffs. Yeah, yes, Marvin. 704 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 11: But if you're the Clippers, you were the worst franchise 705 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 11: in all of American sports. And I'm pretty confident saying 706 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 11: that for most of my childhood. But when Chris Paul 707 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 11: got there, they became a respectable franchise, and you know what, 708 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 11: they're contender ish. 709 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 2: Remember when Arsenio Hall and Billy Crystal would go and 710 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: we'd like, man, you know, they got their celebrities there. 711 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 2: I think it was just those two where you go 712 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 2: to a Laker game in the entire you know, first row, 713 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: surrounding the court celebrities. 714 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 11: Yes, Mark, don't forget about Franki Ninez from Malcolm in 715 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 11: the Middle. He was a Clippers fan. 716 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 2: Too, Certainly, I did forget about Frankie. Three big stars. Okay, 717 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 2: all right, man, the Clippers thought they had had figured out. 718 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 2: You know what, we're gonna trade this guy SGA.

We're gonna 721 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 2: get Kawhi phantom jobs. We're gonna We're gonna bring him in. 722 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. He's gonna be ready for the postseason. Hey, 723 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 2: you know what, how about James Harden. Let's bring him 724 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 2: in as well. Okay, yeah, Pull, here's a weird stat 725 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 2: for you. 726 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 6: In the past thirteen seasons, the Clippers have made the 727 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 6: postseason eleven times. In the past thirteen seasons, the Lakers 728 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 6: have made the postseason five times. 729 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:14,320 Speaker 2: You'd win it? 730 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 1: Whoa whoa stand of the day?

Maybe a certain win percentage 756 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 12: or conference? Uh, you know what your record is in 757 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 12: the conference gets you in, and you know you get 758 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 12: about half or a quarter of the teams and all 759 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 12: the different conferences, and nobody could complain that they weren't 760 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 12: allowed to come in. 761 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:01,400 Speaker 8: Expeat. 762 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 2: I don't know why Division three playoffs works, but it 763 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 2: doesn't work for higher grades, higher levels FCS seems to work. 764 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if adding more teams 765 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 2: solves everything, but I'm told that they're not going to 766 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,520 Speaker 2: fourteen or sixteen teams next year and would probably be 767 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 2: the year after that that they're going to do that. 768 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 2: How about this James sports history, Paul, You got anything 769 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 2: A couple for you. This is old school. 770 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 6: Nineteen seventy seven, Tony Dorset of the Cowboys, as a rookie, 771 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 6: ran for two hundred and six yards against the Eagles, 772 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 6: only the third rookie in history to run for more 773 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 6: than two hundred yards in the game. Bonus coverage. Who 774 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 6: has the rookie rushing record for a single game, and 775 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 6: I think it might be the all time rushing record 776 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 6: for a single game. Who wants a piece of it? 777 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 2: Marvin Adrian Pearson bloop. 778 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 6: Adrian Peterson in his eighth game ran for two hundred 779 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 6: ninety six yards on thirty carries, nine nine yards of carry, 780 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 6: three touchdowns. 781 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 2: Now he's fighting guys at poker game.

Lebron's up to twelve hundred. 787 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 2: He just got that the other night where it seemed 788 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,880 Speaker 2: like he was staying in the game to be able 789 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 2: to get his ten points. 790 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 11: Is that right, Marvin, when you're on the court with 791 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 11: your son, that's not good.
