Without pay for 49 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: conduct that mental to the league. Just in case you've 50 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 3: been under a rock since. You know, in the last 51 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 3: two months of the NBA season, John Moran initially was 52 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: a Shotgun Willies. Ah, And you know, I would have 53 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: loved some follow up reporting while Denver was in the 54 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: finals of how Shotgun Willies was doing. 55 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 6: Didn't hear nothing about it?

One day after 58 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: a Nuggets game or Nuggets Grizzlies came, I should say, 59 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: he was playing, goes in and he has a gun 60 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: in the strip club with strippers and a ton of 61 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 3: money on the floor. Then he goes and has his moment. 62 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 5: With Adam Silver. 63 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: He's so sorry, he's apologized, this and that and the 64 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: third he goes to Florida for a couple of days, 65 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: comes back and then as you all know, you seeing 66 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: what I don't know. I don't know the exact timeline. 67 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: Let's give it not too long down the line. You 68 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: see him on Instagram live with on a friend of 69 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: his Instagram lives brandishing what seems to be a gun. 70 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: There's been varying reports depending on who you're talking to 71 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: about whether or not it's a real gun or not. 72 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: By whatever. Adam Silver said he didn't care whether it 73 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: was fake or not. I guess being an idiots enough 74 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 3: to get you twenty five games. This is crap. 75 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 6: This is one hundred percent total crap. This is this 76 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 6: is a bad look and it's a bad move, and 77 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 6: it's got undertones all over it. This feels like Kyriad 78 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 6: and me again. This feels like Craig Hodges. This feels 79 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 6: like my mood. I do rau aka Chris Jackson for 80 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 6: you young bucks that don't know who that gentleman is 81 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 6: one of the greatest peer shooters played with Shaq at 82 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 6: Lsu to ever come to the NBA. I have so 83 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 6: many problems with this because let me let me just 84 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 6: let me clarify this. I'm not defending Jean Morant. I'm 85 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 6: not defending him being dumb and him being stupid and 86 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 6: being young and rich and not having the right people 87 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 6: around him to say, bro, chill. 88 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 3: If you and I are out right now and I 89 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: see you doing some mare just off the strength that 90 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: I think we homies, I'm assuming we homies. We're we're 91 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: show co hosts. 92 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 6: I'm gonna be like, oh yo, know Mark Yo, chill, chill, chill, 93 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 6: bro chill, chill, chill, because I know what you got 94 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 6: riding on the line. 95 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: Sure, so he doesn't have that around. So I'm not 96 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 3: gonna defend none of that. 97 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 6: But what the NBA and Adam Silver is doing is egregious. 98 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 6: It's overkilled, and I don't like when leagues try to 99 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 6: send a message when someone has not committed a crime, 100 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 6: they've not broken any. 101 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: Laws at all. You can bring up all the other 102 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: incidents is that we've heard about the police and every 103 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: incident has said and reported, they have investigated it, they 104 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: have checked it out. There was no findings there. Now, 105 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: whether you want to believe that or not. 106 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 6: All right, do you believe what the police are saying 107 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 6: or not, because all I could go by is Bob, 108 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 6: what the police said they went and found out after 109 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 6: all of these different incidents. But twenty five games, Article 110 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 6: section nine, Article six. 111 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: Section nine, Article six. 112 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 6: Of the CBA explains punishment in the rules for guns 113 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 6: in the NBA very clearly. 114 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: You must report if you have them. You're not allowed 115 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 3: to have a more league related facilities, plane stadiums, arenas 116 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: practice facility. 117 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 6: So people will go, well, what about Denver. We don't 118 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 6: know how the gun got to the club in Denver. 119 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 6: We know how some of these guys roll with clicks 120 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 6: and roll with cruise. They ain't on a team flight, 121 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 6: They're on their own flight. But he said it wasn't 122 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 6: he sold.

When he did his interview with 125 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 6: Jalen Rose.

That's 141 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 6: called tampering.

How are you gonna do this chinette? 177 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: And so to me, twenty five games is just about right. 178 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 3: Like it's about five games more than I would have expected. 179 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: I think probably the NBA Players Association and the Union 180 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 3: should be lobbying on his behalf to get it to 181 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: be about twenty games. But outside of that, the problem 182 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: with what everything that you're just talking about. He did 183 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: break an NBA rule. He broke the rule that he did, 184 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: like he said he was gonna he went to Adam 185 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: Silver said I'm never gonna do this again, and then 186 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: did it again. Is it right? 187 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 5: Is it in a collective bar and agreement that talk handshake? 188 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: See? No, I got a problem with that talk handshake stuff. No, no, no, no, no, no, 189 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go keep going because no, because if it 190 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 3: isn't in the DA. Look the CBA is ratified and 191 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: argue they're not going to They're not. The NBA is 192 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 3: not going to pursue punishment that has not already been 193 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: ratified and agreed upon in the CBA. That's not how 194 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: this works. They're not making up laws as they go along. 195 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: They're just not. That's why the NBA PA has a 196 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: president who has spoken out about this and said, look, 197 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: we disagree with the amount of games. If it was 198 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: forty games, they say the same thing. If it was 199 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: twinny games, they say the same thing. The NFL, I mean, 200 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 3: the NBA Players Association is going to stand up for 201 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 3: him and represent him in this Moo, did he break? 202 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 3: Am I missing something? He went to the commissioner and 203 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: said he wasn't gonna do it again. So that's something. 204 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: He did it again. 205 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 6: If you tell the commission so rules and I'm just asking, 206 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 6: I'm not trying to be a smartest, I'm. 207 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: Just asking to stop. Then conduct detrimental to the league 208 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: has a very wide definition NBS. 209 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 6: That's BS, that's BS, that's BS. I'm not I'm not 210 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 6: riding with that. I'm sorry. That's like I said. 211 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: So. 212 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: So if if you say, hey, I won't do it again, 213 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 3: that writing that is that a writing law and the 214 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 3: writing rule in the NBA that if I tell the 215 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: ground I won't do it. I don't have to. I 216 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: don't have the freaking CBA printed out right here right now, 217 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: but I do know this. You go up to the boss, 218 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 3: the commissioner of the league, and you say I'm going 219 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: to change my behavior, and you do not change your behavior, 220 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 3: something has to occur. I think this is about perfect 221 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,599 Speaker 3: seeing as the first time he got suspended it was 222 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: for eight games, and everybody had an issue with that 223 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 3: being too short. This one is about triple that. He's 224 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 3: already costing him. No, no, no, it's already costing him all 225 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 3: this money could sit. Twenty five games is not enough. 226 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: He's not going to be all NBA so that's that's 227 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 3: a hundred million down to drain. He's missing the twenty 228 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: five games, salty that he's getting here right here. 229 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 5: Right now. 230 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: And the fact of the matter is when he did it, 231 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 3: when he went out there and and and says and 232 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 3: does what he said he was not going to do again, 233 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: there's clearly a level of a lack of responsibility, like 234 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: the idea that John Moran is suspended and has certain 235 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: things that he should helpless before he can come back 236 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: to the NBA to me, wow, listen, very much similar 237 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 3: to Kyrie exactly. John Morant's behavior is only impacting himself. 238 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 3: John Morant's behavior himself and the others around him in 239 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 3: that moment. It is perfectly legal to be an idiot, right, 240 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: It is perfectly legal for that to occur. 241 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 5: And I understand he did not break the law. 242 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 3: However, we cannot just act like he's not going down 243 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: a destructive path in this moment. 244 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 7: Say that all right, what I am saying, Okay, saying 245 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 7: you can say that I am saying it. 246 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: So when the NBA says, when the NBA says, listen, 247 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 3: you're gonna sit down for about a quarter of the season, 248 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 3: give or take, and you have to go through a 249 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 3: certain checklist to make sure that the first thing that 250 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 3: you said when this happened was you were managing your 251 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: stress incorrectly. And you know what, Hey, I'm not a doctor, 252 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 3: I'm not a psychologist, but I do know in these 253 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: videos that I've seen with him with a gun, there's 254 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: a bottle right next to him, and it's consistently and 255 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 3: who's found who's intoxicated, and so can Willie's And I 256 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: don't though who was driving the car, but it's a 257 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: whole lot of other stuff going on, and generally he's 258 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: making dangerous decisions. So at a certain point in time, 259 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: somebody he doesn't have it in his life. He doesn't 260 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 3: have it in his life. And obviously the NBA is 261 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 3: heavily invested in making sure that John Moran is available 262 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 3: and ready to play. And it's probably not a small 263 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 3: insignificant coincidence that this twenty five game suspension in a 264 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 3: ride around Christmas Day, right, because that's when everybody starts 265 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: to watch the league. But the idea that this is 266 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: something that's that is untenable or ridiculous to me. It's about, 267 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 3: like I said, it's not too much, it's not too little, 268 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 3: it's just right. 269 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 6: All right, Well, I think it's crap. I think it's crap, 270 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 6: and I need to see the law and I need 271 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 6: to see the rules. And I searched and print him 272 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 6: out and have haready for the show. 273 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: I searched. 274 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 6: I searched through the CBA as much as I could, 275 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 6: and I could not find anything that says that if 276 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 6: I tell the commissioner, I won't do something again. 277 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 3: But I want to rewind back to No. I want 278 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: to go CBA and find the line about Conrad detrimental. 279 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: I'll go through if you want to go through the 280 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: CBO so lot and so long, so exactly so they 281 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: could catch you up on damn near anything. All right, 282 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 3: that's the whole point. No, No, the whole point is that's 283 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 3: the that's the BES part of the point. 284 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 6: That's the morale. That's the best part about it. That's 285 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 6: the BS part about is that we're gonna make it 286 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 6: so wide that we could catch you up on don't 287 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 6: play in the NBS, man, that's no, No, don't play 288 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 6: on TVP. 289 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 3: That's what your U meters the league, that's what you 290 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 3: better as the league. They don't play in the m 291 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: N you know, what whatever the hell you need they 292 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: need like Dwight Howard, We'll play in China. Like Dwight Howard, 293 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 3: you gonna do whatever the hell you want over there. 294 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 3: You're gonna play in Taiwan. You could do whatever the 295 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: hell you want. 296 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 5: No, No, I'm not riding with this man. This is crap. 297 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 6: This is this is this is this is Adam Silver. 298 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 6: Alex and I were just talking before the show. If 299 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 6: they didn't hit him with the twenty, if they're suspended 300 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 6: him when they had their initial meeting, I went and 301 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 6: had an in issue with that would have been that 302 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 6: would have been sure, That's that's what they should have 303 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 6: would have been. 304 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: You were and if you remember, no, if you remember 305 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 3: what I said on the eight game, I thought that 306 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 3: was blasting. I thought that was a bunch of bs, 307 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 3: because I said. 308 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 6: Hold on, first of all, the Memphis Grizzly had already 309 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 6: sat him for like five games, and now you're gonna 310 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 6: call a suspension. Those are my exact words. The audio 311 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 6: receipts are there. That's what I said about it. I 312 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 6: didn't think, oh, they shouldn't be doing this. They shouldn't 313 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 6: be doing I already admit it. He is making stupid, 314 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 6: bad decisions. I get that part of it. 315 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, when you start 316 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 3: suspending people on this wide spectrum of a conduct destrimental 317 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: to the league type crap, I have a problem with it. 318 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 3: Tell you that a problem with every professionals to me 319 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 3: what it is did? Tell the problem with literally every 320 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 3: single American they suspended Chris came in with Chris came 321 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 3: in right after the AARAR movie theater shootings when he 322 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 3: posted holding the ar fifteens online? They said that's would 323 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: that be conduct detrimental to the league. They didn't do 324 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: nothing to him. Come on, now, man, come on, stop 325 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 3: playing with me. What you're trying to do? Like what 326 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 3: I am not understanding that? I agree way to handle 327 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 3: it what Chris Cayman did, because that was literally thirteen 328 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: years as a matter how long he talked to the 329 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 3: commissioner afterwards. 330 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 6: You you brought this on the if it was analogous, 331 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 6: I don't know, no, no, Like so I'm wondering, what 332 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 6: is your point. My point is I don't agree with 333 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 6: the suspension. How hard is that for you to understand? 334 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 4: No? 335 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 3: I understand that, But what is your point? Because you 336 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: just said Christ came in, show the AR fifteen after 337 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 3: you you are shooting? Exactly? Did he talk to the commissioner? 338 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 3: What's the what's the analogous here? Did he talk to 339 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 3: the commissioner there? Where is it the same? Show me 340 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: where this is the same? The same? 341 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 6: Because they suspending one guy for showing the gun? Did 342 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 6: you just suspend the other guy? 343 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: But they're not showing They're not suspending him for showing 344 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: a gun what he's suspending them for. They are suspending 345 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: him for conduct detrimental to the league. 346 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 5: What's the conduct? 347 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: The conduct is what he said he was not going 348 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: to do. Okay, so after he went to the commissioner 349 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 3: and did it. So that's that's the mass here. So 350 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 3: christ came in post a third picture or second picture 351 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 3: with an AR fifteen after the fact after he may 352 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: or may not have talked to the commissioner. Because you 353 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: didn't do your homework on that one. So I don't 354 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 3: understand why you're bringing it up. 355 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 5: Okay, No, listen, first of all, don't question my homework. 356 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 3: Did he did he talk to the commissioner or not? 357 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 5: My homework? 358 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 3: Was it the same? 359 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 8: No? 360 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 6: He did, so how was it the same? That's the 361 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 6: point I'm making Why didn't you bring him in? Why 362 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 6: didn't you come talk to his It has nothing to 363 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 6: do with this, Okay, Chris came in. That they can 364 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 6: so they can pick and choose. Then who they punished, 365 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 6: how they punished for, what they punished for. 366 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: That's how bro. That is literally how conduct detrimental works. 367 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 3: Your If your conduct is deemed detrimental, they're going to 368 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: do something about it. For certain people, is deemed no, no, 369 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 3: no social Okay, So who are the other people? Who 370 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: are the other people that went to the commissioner? No, no, no, no, 371 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: you did you said, Chris came and never talked to 372 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: the commission So who are the other people that did something, 373 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: then went to the commissioner, said I'll never do it again, 374 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 3: and then did it again. Show me the analogous. Look 375 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 3: it up. I'm not the one making this argument. Look 376 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 3: it up. I'm not the one making this argument. You're 377 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 3: the one. No, you need to prove your statement of fact. 378 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 3: You are the one that needs to prove your statement 379 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: of fact. No, I'm not the one. I'm over here 380 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: saying this is a good suspense. You're talking about his crap, 381 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: And then like, where are your examples? As to why 382 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 3: it is crap. I just gave you. Where are your 383 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 3: examples as to why this is bad? In my opinion, 384 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 3: I said what I said because I mean, no where, 385 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: no where is it. I want to know, where is 386 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: the example of the NBA taking some unfair advantage of 387 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: John Moran in an idiot where like I want to 388 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: see the other scenario in which the NBA just passed 389 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 3: on punishing somebody who is a complete and total jack hole. 390 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 6: Okay, so let's do this. Then we won't use another example. 391 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 6: We'll just stick with this one. Is that okay's fine, 392 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 6: so we'll stick So we'll stick with this one. And 393 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 6: with this one once again, you're punishing him on this 394 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 6: broad spectrum. As you just said yourself, of conduct destrimental 395 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 6: to the league. What's the conduct? Your answer was that 396 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 6: he told the commissioner that he wouldn't do something, and 397 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 6: he did it again. So then my response to that is, okay, 398 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 6: show me. 399 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 3: Where that is. 400 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 6: If you're just saying the contract distrimental to the league, 401 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 6: that means you could just get somebody and you can 402 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 6: pick and choose who you punish, how you punish, and 403 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 6: when you punish them. 404 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 3: That's my point I don't agree with that. Write it down, 405 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 3: get it detail. Okay, let me know. That's the problem 406 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: that we have here. It is written down. It's in 407 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 3: the CBA. It is written down. It's in the CBA 408 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 3: says that collectively bark, collectively bargain about conjuct atrmental. 409 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 5: I'm sorry that this is not it's right there. It's 410 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 5: right there. 411 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 3: It's all paper. You said you right through the CBA. 412 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 3: Did you read the part about contract detrimental because you 413 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 3: like did you said you right through it? Did you 414 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: read that part? That part wasn't there? Then? Yeah, that 415 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 3: part wasn't there. It's not in the CBA. It doesn't say. 416 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 6: It doesn't say, oh with conduct conduct detrimental to the League, 417 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 6: I e. If you tell the commissioner you won't do 418 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 6: something and you do it, we can suspend you. No, 419 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 6: that's not it doesn't say that. 420 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 3: Bo.

I have a problem that, as 453 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 6: you stated, the bylaws are so wide open with conduct 454 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 6: mental to the team that they can pretty much decide 455 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 6: when and how basically be judge, jury and executioner. That's 456 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 6: the part I have a problem with. It's not that 457 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 6: they can't discipline play, but they can discipline people all 458 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 6: they want to. That's fine, but have it have it 459 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 6: broken down it like, Have it broken down it, have 460 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 6: it like detailed. Because you're you're your example you gave 461 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 6: me was he told the commission He got suspended because 462 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 6: he told the commissioner he wasn't going to do something and. 463 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 5: He did it again. And I ask, okay, is is 464 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 5: that you know verbatim? Is that written down? 465 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 3: And the CBA is just is my question? Concerct detrimental 466 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 3: means a player has become a major nuisance or distraction 467 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 3: that is taken away from the team, in which the 468 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 3: athlete plays on. This is most often associated with something behavioral, 469 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 3: but can also be a form of action as well. 470 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 3: There you go, Okay, there you go, okay, point that 471 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: there it is that is right there. The commissioner's ability 472 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 3: to go ahead and without and dole out this punishment, which, 473 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: mind you, is about five to six games less than 474 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: punishments in the the paths that have been doled out 475 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 3: for differents of domestic violence. And also Stephen Jackson who 476 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 3: got thirty games for a fan violence. All of that, 477 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 3: I mean Stephen Jackson actually on the corporal When you 478 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 3: think about punishments that have been levied outside of what 479 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 3: happened inside of an inside of the confines of an 480 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 3: NBA game, thirty games is just about as much as 481 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 3: and the two different people that have been suspended for 482 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 3: domestic violence have recently Miles Bridges and Jeffrey Taylor, so 483 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 3: twenty to twenty five games for acting like a complete 484 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 3: fool in this scenario, whether it's and I get it. 485 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 3: If he was sitting there posted holding a hunting rifle 486 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 3: showing how he was holding the points of a buck, 487 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 3: it'd be a different thing. 488 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 5: A male deer, it'd be a different thing. But it's not. 489 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 3: He's riding around waving it in the air and putting 490 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 3: him and himself and others around him in danger. That's 491 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 3: why he suspended. And the rationale behind it was when 492 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 3: they set it initially, when he said it initially, it 493 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: is all about maintaining his stress levels and how he's 494 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: supposed to manage his stress levels. Well, if that's the case, 495 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 3: it evidently did not happen in the eight games prior. 496 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 3: He has all summer plus twenty five games, so just 497 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 3: about Christmas to figure it out. 498 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, he does. I don't agree with them, that's just 499 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 5: a bid time. 500 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 3: But then you don't agree with the way, you don't 501 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 3: agree with the NBA players Union. You don't agree with 502 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 3: any of it. But the idea that this is some 503 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 3: handshake deal, the idea that this is some arbitrational handing 504 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 3: out of justice is just false. 505 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 6: No, I disagree with that. I think it is and 506 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 6: I think it always has been, especially even in the 507 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 6: NFL and other leads. 508 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: I do think it's that. I do think it's that. 509 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 6: But they can write anything down, so many lawyers involved 510 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 6: old let me speak. Then they can write anything down 511 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 6: on paper, Martin. They can write it and come up 512 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 6: with anything all they want to. Don't tell me that 513 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 6: human element doesn't play a percentage of this when he's 514 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 6: let me finish, when the suspensions are dealt out, and 515 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 6: when these things are dealt out, don't tell me that 516 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 6: human element doesn't come into it. 517 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: It doesn't come into play here. 518 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 6: I've seen I've seen NBA players or former athletes sit 519 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 6: and talk about their their conversations with Davis, Third, Carmelo, 520 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 6: Anthony Allen iverson where things that they said were set 521 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 6: in the meeting. They could tell that it was more 522 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 6: it was more personal than it was actually what was 523 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 6: written down or what we were supposed to go by. 524 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 6: But once again, my beef is that the bylaws are 525 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 6: so freaking wide and long you can pick and choose how, 526 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 6: when and where and who you want to suspend. 527 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: I have a problem with you just have a net 528 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 3: problem with the idea that the commissioner can punish people. 529 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, absolutely, especially when you have it so then 530 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 3: you have a problem with the NBA. You have a 531 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 3: problem with that and the whole league because the Collective 532 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 3: Baring Agreement is essentially the bible of the league and 533 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 3: how it works and how everything goes back and forth. 534 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 6: So the other problem with American professional sports. Then Okay, 535 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 6: now you're trying to make it this broad thing now everything, 536 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 6: because first as you had a problem with the CBA 537 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 6: and then the players in the league. Now now I 538 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 6: have a problem with all the sports. 539 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 3: Stop well, because what I'm trying to explain to you 540 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: is that the CB in the NBA and the idea 541 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 3: that you can suspend somebody for conduct detrimental to the 542 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 3: league is something that exists across all professional sports. Just 543 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 3: ask Trevor Bauer in the NBA, or I mean in 544 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball, or Zach Stacey in the NFL, like 545 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 3: these exist outside of this moment, like it already. 546 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 5: It's real, It's real. That's how the whole thing works. 547 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 6: I don't agree with the suspension. I don't agree with 548 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 6: the power that they have to suspend people, especially when 549 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 6: you haven't committed a crime, when you haven't broken any rules, 550 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 6: you haven't committed a crime, you haven't been charged with anything. 551 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: I understand that. 552 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 6: I'm gonna look at a Twitter now and I see 553 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 6: people tweeting me and throw it and that's fine. 554 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 3: I like, I love this, I want to smoke. Bring 555 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 3: it on. 556 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with it. 557 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 6: I'm willing to debate, but when you're telling me these 558 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 6: are different examples of like when Goode would suspend somebody 559 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 6: that people. 560 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 3: Had a problem with it, then I have a problem 561 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 3: with this and I have a problem. Did you have 562 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 3: a problem with Ben Simmons things suspended for avery, suspended 563 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 3: for conduct detrimental to the lead for the first twenty 564 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: five games of the season. 565 00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 6: You have to remind me what was been Simon with 566 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 6: the what was he suspendedful? He wasn't coming and he's 567 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 6: a spend of twenty five games for that. 568 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 3: They said they find him for not going. He remember 569 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 3: he missed the shot against You know what. I'm sorry, 570 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: you know We'll do this in a second.

This is all, 625 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 3: and quite honestly, it looks like Bob Huggins could probably 626 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 3: stand from not being in the spotlight anymore at this 627 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 3: stage in the game. You are correct, it will probably 628 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: pay him a good deal to be ignored. 629 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 9: Referring also to the slurry had in the radio interview 630 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 9: last month, thanks not going well, this is not. 631 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 3: Going last month.

But 639 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 3: the whole point of the matter is, if I'm trying 640 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: to get back down to brass tacks when we're talking 641 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 3: about John Morant and whether or not the commissioner has 642 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 3: the ability to levy this. It has been negotiated and 643 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 3: agreed upon, and the contracts have been signed, and if 644 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: he wants to be a part of the NBA, these 645 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: aren't These are the rules in which you were going 646 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 3: to be a part of them. Very much in the 647 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 3: same way. We'll talk about this in just a little bit, 648 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 3: very much in the same way that if you play 649 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 3: running back your art your salary is just going to 650 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 3: be artificially at this point suppressed simply because you are 651 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 3: running back until something changes in the fundamental structure and 652 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 3: fundamental structure of professional sports. This is the way that 653 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 3: punishment will be doled out, and a twenty five game 654 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 3: punishment which will likely get argued down to about twenty 655 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 3: two to twenty total games in a league in which 656 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 3: domestic violence your first instance has gotten you about thirty games, 657 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 3: in a league in which your first instance with a 658 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 3: fan violence will get you about thirty games. In a 659 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: league in which your first instance with bringing firearms into 660 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 3: the locker room Javars Critinton Gilbert Renis will get you 661 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 3: thirty eight games and fifty games respectively. Twenty games for 662 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: something that happened outside of the of the scope of everything. 663 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 3: That seems like a perfectly fair punishment. I got a 664 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 3: zero issue with it. Okay, you guys have a zero 665 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: issue with it. 666 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: I don't. 667 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 6: I have a big issue with it. I just I 668 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 6: don't like the way that the CBA is written. I 669 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 6: don't like the way that the by laws are so 670 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 6: damn wide that they can pick and choose. That is 671 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 6: basically what the hell I'm saying. 672 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 5: Period. 673 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 6: But I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and 674 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 6: and like I said, I'm not defending him. I think 675 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 6: he's making some bad decisions as far as the way 676 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 6: he's portrayed himself, whether that is who he is or 677 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 6: not who he is. I'm past that part of the discussion. 678 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 6: But the bylaws in this I understand it needs is 679 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 6: agreed upon. I understand everybody signs off on it. That's fine. 680 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 6: But we also know a lot of these things are 681 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 6: given take also when the CBA and these deals, when 682 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 6: these deals get done. 683 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 7: And a lot a lot of this is perhaps a 684 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 7: negotiation a lot once it's iron class, it's give and 685 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 7: take once it's ironclad, that's not true, like a lot 686 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 7: of maybe a negotiation, but once it's signed into law 687 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 7: and to the NBA law, that's that's that right. 688 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 3: There is just it's not true. 689 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 5: I don't agree with it. 690 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 3: I don't like it. 691 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 6: Somebo is that I don't like it. I don't know 692 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 6: what else you want me to say, bro, I don't 693 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 6: like it. I don't like I thought the twenty five games, 694 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 6: I mean, if he if he if he had done 695 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 6: something like if he harmed Somebody's a lot of ifs 696 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 6: he could have. He could have done this, or this 697 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 6: could have happened, but it didn't. It didn't happen. It 698 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 6: could have happened, but it didn't happen. And now if 699 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 6: we're suspending people on what could have but it should 700 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 6: have sarned? 701 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: Cool. I just asked the point, we're not suspending on. 702 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 5: People on what the should have did it. 703 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 3: We're not doing that. 704 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 5: So we're suspending him because he had a gun in 705 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 5: the strip club? 706 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: Okay? 707 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: Cool? 708 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,719 Speaker 6: And then there was the so called as far as 709 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 6: I wasn't there, so I don't know if the gun 710 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 6: was really toy. I thought it was hilarious that they 711 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 6: even came up with that story that the gun and 712 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 6: I put that out on my Twitter, like, Okay, that's wild. 713 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 3: Now they're saying that the gun was a I actually 714 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 3: do have literally no joke the same gun lighter. No, 715 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 3: I've seen literally the un has one. Yeah, one that 716 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 3: Josh showed and that same time. I've seen them. 717 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 6: So if it was if it was a toy gun, 718 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 6: you know, then then you could say, Okay, you're suspending him, 719 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 6: okay for the You didn't suspend him for the uh 720 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 6: strip club thing. You guys gave him the eight games 721 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 6: when he already had the five off from the team, 722 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 6: and that wasn't even called the suspension that was called. 723 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 6: He's just away from the team, but to get himself together. 724 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 3: But the NBA came back and said, he's not getting 725 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 3: paid for this moment, that it is suspension. I guess 726 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 3: that's the key. I get time away from the team, 727 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 3: you're still getting paid. 728 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 6: So technically he got suspended twenty five games for waving 729 00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 6: a toy gun. 730 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 3: He got suspended twenty five games for waving with whether 731 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 3: or not as a toy gun or not. Okay, whether 732 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: or not as a toy gun or not. He was 733 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 3: suspended for participating in the same activity he was prior, 734 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: which was live streaming himself with what looked to be 735 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 3: and at the time when he was suspended from Memphis 736 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 3: and initially they suspended him the next morning and it 737 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 3: was said because of what looks to be they didn't 738 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 3: further investigate it. They said, if it is a gun, 739 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. If it's a lighter, if it's a 740 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 3: squirt gun, it doesn't matter. We're still going to suspend you. 741 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 3: As we investigate this information, NBA comes in, you know what, 742 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 3: we'll tackle on three more on top of the five 743 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 3: that d already got. 744 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 5: Let's make it a full eight. 745 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 3: I don't think the NBA is supposed to add on 746 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 3: additional punishment in turn, Like when you go to jail 747 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: and you commit a crime, and you go to jail, 748 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 3: you get credit for the days that you were in 749 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 3: jail before the sentence. 750 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 5: It's called time served. 751 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 3: Sure, NBA wasn't supposed to go like that would have 752 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 3: been a violation of the CBA punishing it twice for 753 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 3: the same thing. But when he doesn't does something else, 754 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 3: which is in a different instance, you are opening yourself 755 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 3: up to conduct detrimental to the league, which has been 756 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 3: a suspendable offense across professional sports, and quite honestly, now 757 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 3: that I'm sitting here thinking about it again inside of 758 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 3: college sports with even more impunity, all you gotta say 759 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: is conduct detrimental. And guess what nobody's questioning a Nick 760 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 3: Saban why the backup defensive lineman is not available for 761 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: the first half against Rice. 762 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 5: I'm not sure where that correlation was. 763 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 3: But because conduct detrimental is a thing that goes across 764 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 3: all companies. The same way that you said a minute ago, 765 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: if you were to go and see me out in public, 766 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 3: do him acting a fool, you would stop me because 767 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 3: I'm your co host and so on, you know, like 768 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 3: you alluded to, why because it would be conduct detrimental 769 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 3: to Fox. 770 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 6: Sports Radio, Like listen, I'm not We're not going to 771 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 6: cross companies and do it. I'm talking about this specific situation, 772 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 6: this specific league right here. 773 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 3: Contact, but contact detrimental exists in every single professional sport. 774 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 3: I get it. The cvcbas exist in every single professional sport. 775 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 3: I know that player unions exist in every position, every 776 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 3: single professional sport, and in every single professional sport. Got 777 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 3: it well before, right here, right now, these were negotiated 778 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 3: and agreed upon, and when you sign the contract that 779 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 3: John Moran signed as he got drafted into the NBA, 780 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 3: those are the rules you have to follow. If you 781 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 3: don't want to follow them, you do not have to 782 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 3: play professional sports. Make the rules more clear. The rules 783 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 3: are very clear. That's the point I'm trying to make. 784 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 3: The rules are very very clear, and making that point 785 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 3: to me they are.

There is no gray area. 790 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 6: There's no gray area, but you there is no gray area. 791 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 6: Let me speak, but you just said ten minutes ago 792 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 6: that condred distrimental to the team. 793 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 3: Is a why. But there's no great There is great. 794 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 3: Something as wide reaching here does not mean there's not 795 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 3: gray level gray area. The speed limit on Ventur is 796 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 3: thirty five. If you go thirty eight, or you go fifty, 797 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 3: or you go one hundred and fifty, it is still. 798 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 5: Against the law.

Phoenix is a smoke screen. And it 843 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 3: just really just became I now feel comfortable enough saying 844 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 3: it on the national radio to do this, all right, 845 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 3: Bradley Beal has a no trade clause, right, which essentially 846 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 3: means a one hundred percent no training clause exactly, So 847 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 3: he is calling his own shot, yes, right, yeah. Now, 848 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 3: his agent Mark Bartlestein. He had a son that went 849 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,439 Speaker 3: to Michigan. His name was Josh Bartlestein, got there about 850 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 3: the same time I did, and graduated about the same 851 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 3: time I did. His son, that's right, thirty three year 852 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 3: old Josh Bartlestein is now the CEO of the Phoenix 853 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 3: Sons after Matt Isshubie bought the team. 854 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 5: How does that make you feel? 855 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 3: Makes me feel the same way I felt when I 856 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 3: was fourteen years old reading Sports Illustrated and I realized 857 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 3: that Freddie Adou, who. 858 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 5: Made the men's national team, was sixteen years old. That's 859 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 5: why I'm playing for DC United. I'm way behind. That 860 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,760 Speaker 5: was the feeling I'm way behind. 861 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 3: I had it then, and I guess I'm still, you know, 862 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 3: twenty years later, still feeling like I'm way behind. But 863 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 3: I sell that to say. I think that that's a 864 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 3: little bit of Bartlestein family dinner conversation in order to 865 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 3: try to drive the price up for the Miami Heat, 866 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 3: which seems to be just a staple automatic and go 867 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 3: for the beal to Miami. 868 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 5: That's where he wants to go. 869 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 3: He hasn't really said anywhere else, so kind of talking 870 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 3: about nowhere else almost doesn't matter. If they go get 871 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 3: bial you get, you're giving up too. 872 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 6: You're gonna have to give up some of these, let's 873 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 6: say the undrafted guys that you loved so much, you 874 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 6: so called love so much. They they're gonna probably want 875 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 6: hero in that deal. So you're gonna lose that right there. 876 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 6: And if I'm if I'm the Wizards, I'm not taking 877 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 6: it cheap. I'm not just doing you any favors. I'm 878 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 6: not giving you my max guy, and you're gonna send 879 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 6: me back scraps like I'm not giving you file and 880 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 6: you slip me back a chili dog. 881 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 3: We're not doing We're not doing that I want. But 882 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 3: what if it just want chili dogs back? You know 883 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,279 Speaker 3: what if they're trying you know, like because like think 884 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 3: about this, like they have mellersh a group and ah, 885 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 3: they think about it. They've been they have been. The 886 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 3: playing tournament was damn near created for teams like Washington, 887 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 3: right that is always they're always between like seven and 888 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 3: ten in the last month of the year, and then 889 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 3: you know the bottom falled out, right because the bottom 890 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 3: was never really there to begin with, right, So I 891 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 3: I mean, and we've seen Paul Pearson. John Wall has 892 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 3: been a long time ago. So that to that point, right, 893 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 3: that's that's been you know, six six seven maybe right, 894 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 3: it's been six seven years ago. Anyway, the point remains, 895 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 3: Washington may want to bottom this whole thing out, go 896 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 3: nuclear because otherwise, why are you moving him? Do you 897 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? 898 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 6: Like you're moving You're moving him because it frees up money. 899 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 6: You have a new ownership group in Bill. Bill is 900 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 6: to me, Bradley Bill's topped out. I don't think there's 901 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 6: a better Bradley Bill that's waiting for us to see 902 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 6: in years ago. I think we've seen the best Bradley. 903 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 6: He reminds me of lot of Gilbert Arenas. He does 904 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,439 Speaker 6: phenomenal score, can put the biscuit in the basket. Cool, 905 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 6: But you have to have the intangibles to win. You 906 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 6: have to have the mindset, you have to have the leadership, 907 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 6: you have to have the stuff that that's not on 908 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 6: paper to win in the NBA. And I just think 909 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,879 Speaker 6: he's a really good player. So I don't know, you're 910 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 6: not gonna win with them. So that's why they want 911 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 6: to Miami with them. Absolutely, it depends on what they 912 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 6: would have to give up, though, Martin. 913 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 3: I think if you some combination of these guys we 914 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 3: just saw in Hero Heroes, gotta go Heroes on the deal, 915 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 3: all right, see you later, Yeah, all right. I just 916 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 3: I don't. If I'm Miami, I'm sitting there like I 917 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 3: just got to the I got what three games away 918 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 3: from the NBA Finals win without Tyler hero for the 919 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,919 Speaker 3: literally the whole stretch run. We save a quarter. 920 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 6: When you make deals like this, in my opinion, you 921 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 6: give up so much you set your team back unless 922 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 6: you're getting unless you already have a top guy, Like 923 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,239 Speaker 6: when the Lakers got a d they did ship off 924 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 6: a lot, but you already had Lebron and that was 925 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 6: still kind of in his peak, in his prime, so 926 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 6: you can give up that much. 927 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 5: The Heat don't have a player like we just saw 928 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 5: what Jimmy Butler is. 929 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 6: The Heat don't have that guy that if you give 930 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 6: up a lot, that if you give up a lot, 931 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 6: you can you can you can absorb that because you 932 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 6: still have like a megastar on your team. I just 933 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 6: I don't think that the Heat have that to give 934 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 6: up to bring in Bill to put with Ben. You 935 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 6: can't stand Bam, so you're adding Bill. 936 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 3: To Bam into perfect. Now I got him as a 937 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 3: third best player, and I don't need his offense. That's 938 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 3: a great fit. You need his offense, man, not if 939 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 3: I have Bradley Beal and Jimmy Butler like no, and 940 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 3: I'm not expecting, but then perfect, we can get Bam 941 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 3: back to where he belongs with about thirteen shots a 942 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,400 Speaker 3: game because we see the added workload does nothing for him. 943 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 6: I don't I don't think their championship team would. I 944 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 6: think you would have to give up too much. And 945 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 6: I don't think that they already have that mega star. 946 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 3: This would be a different if it was any team 947 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,840 Speaker 3: but the Miami Heat. The Miami he could give up 948 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 3: all the draft picks. They don't even use their draft picks. 949 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 3: Who's the last player Miami drafted that is in the rotation? 950 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 3: I'll answer for you. Bam at a bio. Yeah, man, 951 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 3: that's it. That's it. That's the only that like, that's it. 952 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 6: Everything just doesn't He doesn't move the needle for me, Bro, 953 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 6: I'm sorry. It had to be a different team. It 954 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 6: have to be like to Milwaukee the team when a 955 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 6: guy like Yan is like a top flight NBA guy 956 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 6: for me, just that's just my opinion. 957 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 5: Coming up next more NBA. 958 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 3: Martin VJ.

And I'll just say, bravo, bravo, bravo, 967 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 3: what took you so long? I was upset when they 968 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 3: drafted him. I wasn't happy when they did the extension. 969 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 3: I was like, do you guys not see this dynamic 970 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 3: point guard out of Murray State jumping out of the gym, 971 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 3: And sure enough, John Moran took the Memphis Grizzly. 972 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,319 Speaker 5: Ok, you really wanted them to take us. 973 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 3: I'm just as I promise you you want them to take. 974 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 3: I am not a fan, and I tell you this, 975 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 3: this is the part of the reason why you know 976 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 3: those guys we've never seen before. I'm not a fan, 977 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 3: I'm out if we've never seen him before, like we've 978 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 3: never seen a combination of ion, sides and speed, which 979 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 3: we had, but they just didn't either. And I'm good, 980 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 3: I'm good you telling these freaking natures, like, all right, 981 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 3: you will go, you will lose your job one hundred 982 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 3: percent trying to draft the next Charles Barkley or Kevin Durant. 983 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Kevin Durant is an anomaly 984 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 3: the way that he's an anomaly. He's like and so 985 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 3: when you're telling me that chat Holmgren is coming in 986 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 3: as the next Kevin Durant, I'm telling you absolutely not 987 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 3: have fun. Exactly, youre telling me that Zion is gonna 988 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 3: be the next Charles Barkley. Who I mean, if you 989 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,719 Speaker 3: wanted to even make a Charles Barkley comp in the 990 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 3: league at the moment, the only one that comes even 991 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 3: markedly close is like Draymond or PJ. Tucker. And that's 992 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 3: so far away. That's so far away off, That's what 993 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 3: I'm saying. But that just in terms of guys who 994 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 3: are short error and play really big big, but like 995 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 3: that's not but no, they don't exist. So yeah, I 996 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 3: was out on Zion. I've seen John Morint I've seen 997 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 3: his iteration, and the Derrick Rose, I've seen his iteration. 998 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,840 Speaker 3: In these guards that can cut to the rim and 999 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 3: move fast and be their own one man fast break. 1000 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,680 Speaker 3: I've seen this archetype be super successful in the league before. 1001 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 3: It's sure enough, Memphis was from picking second to I 1002 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 3: mean at the point in time this year, I good, 1003 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 3: I know, I know, I know, I know they're the 1004 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 3: butt of the jokes and all of this and that. However, 1005 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 3: the man had forty seven in the play in Then 1006 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 3: the next year, Memphis makes the playoffs as the seventh seed. 1007 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 3: Next year, Memphis makes the playoffs as a two seed. 1008 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:56,839 Speaker 11: Right. 1009 00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,320 Speaker 3: Part of the reason why Grizzli's management has such a 1010 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,400 Speaker 3: decision to make at this moment in time because you 1011 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 3: have not seen success like this that you have in 1012 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,879 Speaker 3: the last seven hundred days of your team. 1013 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 5: Right, it's just the grit and grind era. 1014 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, I was on record, I wasn't high on either 1015 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 6: one of them coming out of college because, like you said, 1016 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,919 Speaker 6: we haven't seen a Zion before. I'm like, no, that's true, 1017 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 6: we've seen Zion before. The comparison that I gave when 1018 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 6: I threw this at CHRISTM. Sordin and he was like, 1019 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 6: what Wow VJ. He reminded me. I said, dude, he's 1020 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 6: gonna be Clarence Witherspoon. And if you guys remember Clarence Weatherspoon, 1021 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,840 Speaker 6: he was drafted by the seventies six ers in the 1022 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 6: nineties and but and they thought and they drafted him 1023 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 6: because they thought he was gonna be the next Charles Barkley. 1024 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 6: Almost damn near looks like him. If you guys google 1025 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 6: Clarence Weatherspoon, that's who people thought that they thought he 1026 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 6: could be Barkley. And when I looked at Zion, he 1027 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 6: was already hurt in college. I always thought he just 1028 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 6: did everything too hard. Everything is a power jump, Everything 1029 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 6: is a is a is a violent move in your 1030 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 6: ligaments and your attendants and your knees and your a 1031 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 6: your lower extremities. It can't take it can't take that. 1032 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 6: As Martin loves to say, you're one of your favorite 1033 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,960 Speaker 6: phrase I love, it's not sustainable. It's that type, but 1034 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 6: it's not sustainable. That type of where it's tearing your 1035 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 6: body is not sustainable. Even over to John. I looked 1036 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 6: at John and they were like, man, we've we we've 1037 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 6: never seen. 1038 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:16,879 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1039 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,439 Speaker 6: Half his name was Penny Hardaway, his name was Derreck Rose, 1040 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 6: his name was Russ Westbrook. Guards that are fast, can 1041 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,760 Speaker 6: get down, cut through the lane, leap and dunk on everybody, 1042 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 6: average jump shooter, average defender. 1043 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 3: But it'll play the passing lanes, get some stills. Yeah, 1044 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 3: I've seen this before. Ever, he's nothing new that I 1045 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 3: haven't seen as far as play on the court, and 1046 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 3: now his action's off the court. 1047 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 6: I guess with the new suit with a according to 1048 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 6: the CVA. But when I look at this whole you know, 1049 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,680 Speaker 6: this whole Pelicans thing, I trade him, man, I'd move 1050 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 6: I'd move him. If if you think Scoot Henderson is 1051 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 6: that guy, and you think that you could you can 1052 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 6: start over and rebuild with him, you already had to 1053 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 6: start over after a D and I and I and 1054 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 6: I'm not gonna lie. I don't know enough about school 1055 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 6: Henderson to say that I would make the trade up. 1056 00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 6: But what I would do is filled every call on Zion. 1057 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 6: And I said this on the show two three months ago. 1058 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,919 Speaker 6: The guy's not folks. The guy don't want to play ball. 1059 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 3: Guys. 1060 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 6: Just because people get to the pro leagues doesn't mean 1061 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 6: that they want to really be putting in the work 1062 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 6: and be there every day, make it their life. They 1063 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,120 Speaker 6: much rather enjoy the limelight and the women, and the 1064 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 6: money and the material things and the parties and the 1065 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 6: access and the elitist title that you get from being, 1066 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,880 Speaker 6: you know, a two hundred million dollar contract guy playing 1067 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 6: pro ball. You can pretty much have anything you want 1068 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,759 Speaker 6: thrown at your feet. A lot of that stuff it 1069 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 6: blinds guys. And Zion just has that look to me. 1070 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 6: And I'm not even trying to talk about all the 1071 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,720 Speaker 6: other crap that's coming out, But look at it, though. 1072 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,360 Speaker 3: Right that shows you not focused. 1073 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 10: Dude. 1074 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,240 Speaker 6: You're doing way too much other stuff and you're supposed 1075 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 6: you're supposed to be focused. Right now, you could have played, 1076 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,879 Speaker 6: but you couldn't play, but you felt good enough to play. 1077 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 6: I mean, come on, man, If I don't know how 1078 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 6: much the social media aspect, oh no, I'm not talking 1079 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 6: about I'm talking about all the stuff that that's going 1080 00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 6: on in his life. 1081 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 3: I think it's I don't I don't know how much 1082 00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:03,399 Speaker 3: that plays Like like Medina said last week, I don't 1083 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 3: think that plays into the calculus of. 1084 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,439 Speaker 6: I'm not talking about the front office. I'm talking about 1085 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 6: Zion himself as far as his mentality to want to 1086 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:11,880 Speaker 6: be great and want to be on the court and 1087 00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 6: want to play basketball. I'm speaking on it on that behalf. 1088 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,560 Speaker 6: If I'm Memphis, I mean I'm schep not mephis. But 1089 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 6: if I'm New Orleans, I feel offers this summer, and 1090 00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 6: I move off of them. If I think I can 1091 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 6: get the number two and I can get school, I 1092 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:25,440 Speaker 6: move off of them and I try to go get school. 1093 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't. 1094 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think that the social media or 1095 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,800 Speaker 3: this personal life that we've seen on display over the 1096 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 3: last you know, fourteen days or so, Marian mill is 1097 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 3: probably still tweeting. But uh, I don't. I don't. I 1098 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 3: don't think that plays into the calculus here. I think 1099 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 3: much more plays into the calculus in twenty nine games 1100 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 3: over the last four seasons, plays much bigger deal take 1101 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 3: he plays into it at all, though, I don't, I 1102 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 3: really not at all. 1103 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:49,720 Speaker 6: You don't think that no one in the front office 1104 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 6: is saying, look, this kid can't even stay he's got 1105 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 6: too much going on. He's not even focused on basketball. 1106 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 6: You don't think that's a You don't think that's any 1107 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:56,920 Speaker 6: question at all. 1108 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 3: I really, I really don't think that, Like I put 1109 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 3: it like this, if if another and be I don't know, 1110 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,879 Speaker 3: I'm not trying to attack somebody else. For somebody else 1111 00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,880 Speaker 3: who was playing eighty games a year starting and playing, 1112 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,320 Speaker 3: you know, averaging fifteen and seven even that level, I 1113 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 3: don't think it's like, what does the organization care? 1114 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying in terms of that regard. 1115 00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 3: And the only other guy I can think with a 1116 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 3: similarly analogous situation was Paul George and it did not 1117 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 3: impact his on the court legacy or long the court 1118 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 3: earnings one bit. Like it didn't. It just didn't impact 1119 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,839 Speaker 3: his scenario. If you're interested wherever he went and from 1120 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 3: wherever he went, I'm talking about it. He had a 1121 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,279 Speaker 3: kind of similar off the court's sing the issue that 1122 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,040 Speaker 3: in the end of thing, whatever he google it. If 1123 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:51,680 Speaker 3: you're interested, however, the man has gotten super max contract. 1124 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,320 Speaker 3: With the max contract, whenever he gets traded, it's for 1125 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,680 Speaker 3: a high value like he's I mean, he's considered one 1126 00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 3: of the best players in the league. 1127 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,400 Speaker 5: It did not impact his back basketball. 1128 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think that if Zion was playing basketball, 1129 00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 3: that's the problem we had nothing else to talk about 1130 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 3: besides well, he's being with the tweets and this and 1131 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,800 Speaker 3: that because he don't play. He's only played thirty games, 1132 00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 3: Like I said, thirty games a year, one hundred and 1133 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 3: forty four sins. He's been in the least something like that. 1134 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 3: Like I was just I was saying the kind of 1135 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 3: tongue in cheek. But the first time when Joall got 1136 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,600 Speaker 3: the day the Josh thing came down. The first time 1137 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 3: right after Shotgun Willies, I'm at work on Monday talking 1138 00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 3: with my podcast partner on the Lemon Pepper Parla podcast, 1139 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,360 Speaker 3: and I say, you know what, Hey, who misses more games? Zion? 1140 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:34,919 Speaker 5: Our job? 1141 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,640 Speaker 3: At this point, I hadn't missing spended Zion got hurt 1142 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 3: January second, Bro January second, they were first and the 1143 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,320 Speaker 3: last time when the last time you saw him prior 1144 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 3: to January second was at that gender review. That was 1145 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 3: that like somebody seriously, and so now I'm like, the 1146 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 3: face of your franchise, No, the capital F face of 1147 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,240 Speaker 3: your franchise is clearly a mantle that is not easy 1148 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 3: to hold for anybody. Right. Just I'm just thinking right 1149 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 3: now of the top three picks in this draft, Zion, 1150 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 3: Jah and RJ. Barrett. You look at r. J. Barrett. 1151 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 3: He ain't the face of the Knicks at all, right, 1152 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:20,839 Speaker 3: but he's been the one that's probably been the most 1153 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 3: successful out of his class, just off the fact that 1154 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 3: he continues to be available. 1155 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:26,760 Speaker 5: Cam Reddis is nowhere to be found. 1156 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:32,200 Speaker 3: Man. So it's it's really hard to get this right. 1157 00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 3: It's difficult to get this right, and I'm a little 1158 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 3: sympathetic to it. But when I at this point in time, 1159 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:46,799 Speaker 3: his value, unless he becomes an all time great player, right, 1160 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,879 Speaker 3: his value is as high as it will be right now. 1161 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 6: But we know in pro sports too, there's always one. 1162 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 6: There's always one GM, one head coach, one VP of operations, 1163 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 6: one owner who thinks I can get that guy, I 1164 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 6: can change that guy. I can't get him to do 1165 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 6: what we need him to do here, maybe he needs 1166 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 6: You're here in change of scenery. You're here in New York, 1167 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,440 Speaker 6: New York, New York dog. If you can't handle the 1168 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 6: off the court stuff in New Orleans. And I love 1169 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 6: New Orleans. This is one of my favorite cities. I 1170 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,000 Speaker 6: tell you all the time. It's the best food city 1171 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,960 Speaker 6: in United States of America. It is untouched and it's 1172 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 6: not even close. But it ain't New York City homeboy, 1173 00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 6: with the New York Daily News and the New York 1174 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,320 Speaker 6: Times and all the and just all the stuff you 1175 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 6: can get into there. If you can't stay focused with 1176 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,400 Speaker 6: your weight and with your other off the court things 1177 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 6: in New Orleans, Louisiana, you have zero shot in New York. 1178 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 6: And I think that's a place he's been throwing out there. 1179 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 6: Daddy wants to go to. When he was coming out 1180 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 6: of college, he made it know that he wanted to 1181 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 6: be a nick And I think if you trade him 1182 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 6: and you get the best, obviously you can't get the 1183 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,399 Speaker 6: best deal because you want to go for the number 1184 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 6: two picks. So that's the team you really need to 1185 00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 6: be talking to if you're going to move him, not 1186 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,720 Speaker 6: unless you think you can laying laying a Dame Lillard. 1187 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 6: If you can trade them with Portland and Portland things 1188 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,719 Speaker 6: they can do. Someone of Chauncey Billis thinks he could 1189 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 6: do something with them. I think Portland's a team that's 1190 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 6: out there where you have to get. You have to 1191 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,399 Speaker 6: get a game changing guy in return. You can't get 1192 00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,479 Speaker 6: draft picks. You can't move Zion for draft picks. 1193 00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,120 Speaker 3: Why not? I think you got why not because you 1194 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:19,960 Speaker 3: just said it yourself. This is hard to do. 1195 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 6: So you're gonna take another You're gonna roll the dice 1196 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 6: again on it, draft it, or get a guy that 1197 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,320 Speaker 6: already know what I'm getting. 1198 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,000 Speaker 3: But you're not getting you're not getting. I mean, the 1199 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,320 Speaker 3: guy has played one hundred and something games in his 1200 00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 3: NBA career. VJ. I'll remind you in the audience there's 1201 00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:43,239 Speaker 3: eighty two in a season, gonna standing. Just to put 1202 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 3: it in like, you have to think, like we talk 1203 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:50,240 Speaker 3: about the availability of a Kyrie Irving, Kyrie has perfect 1204 00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 3: attendance in comparison to Zion, right. 1205 00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, He's never here. 1206 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,880 Speaker 3: So that's the only value that you can get right 1207 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,959 Speaker 3: now is the idea that somebody could trick them into saying, 1208 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 3: hey man, they just been using them wrong. 1209 00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 5: You know, don't we get them in our system? 1210 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,560 Speaker 3: This and that. But I think anybody who would like 1211 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 3: you gotta come up with that and get that deal 1212 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 3: done now. But if I have the number two overall pick, 1213 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 3: and I'm looking at Zion Williamson as my take back, 1214 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 3: I'm gonna need something more. 1215 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 6: Honestly, who else you're throwing that deal with then somebody's 1216 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 6: gotta come off. Oh so you say Zion and draft picks. Yeah, 1217 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 6: I need Zion and something like. Because here's the thing 1218 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 6: New Orleans needs. If I'm if I'm Charlotte or you 1219 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 6: know Portland, New Orleans. 1220 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 3: Needs me to do I'm a favor. You need me 1221 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 3: to do you a favor now before you sign into 1222 00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 3: this max contract. Maybe maybe we could talk about some 1223 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 3: getting the mask's back. But the same thing with Bradley Beal. 1224 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 3: Whoever trades for Bradley Beal will be doing the Wizards 1225 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 3: a favor. They don't want to pay that cunt track. Yeah, 1226 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,839 Speaker 3: they need to move the contract right, the same way 1227 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,719 Speaker 3: with New Orleans they need to move the contract. So no, 1228 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 3: it's gonna take something significant. I think if you're a 1229 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 3: New Orleans you shit there and you look at everything 1230 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:19,400 Speaker 3: that you got around you CJ. B I, balance Unis 1231 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 3: and the way that thing was going in the West, 1232 00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,719 Speaker 3: especially when you consider where they were playing Zion. When 1233 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,879 Speaker 3: he was playing, he was bringing the ball up a lot. 1234 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:34,000 Speaker 6: Do you consider b I or McCullough in the deal 1235 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 6: if you're New Orleans and let me let me throw 1236 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 6: it just a trade at you nor the Portlands hitt 1237 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 6: at number three. So say Portland goes, okay, this is 1238 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,879 Speaker 6: what we'll do. We want Zion and CJ. I can't 1239 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:47,320 Speaker 6: imagine it. 1240 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:48,399 Speaker 3: CJ go back. 1241 00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 5: I know I saw. 1242 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 3: I'll say b I. 1243 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,879 Speaker 5: Then so we want Zion and b I and we'll 1244 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,279 Speaker 5: give you Dame and the number three pick. 1245 00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 3: So you get Dame. Just you get it. You get 1246 00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 3: a franchise guy. 1247 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,239 Speaker 6: You know, and and we and the number three pick, 1248 00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 6: and we want Zion and then whatever your number one 1249 00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,120 Speaker 6: pick next year, your first round pick next year. 1250 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 5: If New Orleans do you do it? But I think 1251 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 5: New Orleans probably shit it. 1252 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 3: I'm not sourced on this, but I would imagine they 1253 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 3: have to be feeling like they have a guy brandon 1254 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 3: Ingram when brandon Ingram was cooking and had another like, 1255 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 3: I think they need alternative, Like like CJ can run 1256 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 3: the point well enough, but we've seen enough playoff series 1257 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,680 Speaker 3: with him to know you cannot depend on him exact 1258 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,320 Speaker 3: drop twenty eight games. But he's not gonna just lose 1259 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 3: his mind. He's not gonna go in there to turn 1260 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:34,840 Speaker 3: the ball over, you know what I'm saying. Like, some 1261 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,839 Speaker 3: guys can't play in the playoffs. CJ can, but if 1262 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 3: your second best player, it's not gonna get done. Do 1263 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:41,800 Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying. I think if you have 1264 00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,719 Speaker 3: beat b I and valence units, that two man game. 1265 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 3: You're looking around the Western Conference. I look around the 1266 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,919 Speaker 3: Western Conference. I see Marie and jokis two man game, 1267 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 3: and I see that's kind of the message with the 1268 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 3: new CBA and all that. I see an easy scenario 1269 00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,760 Speaker 3: in which if you can lay and scoot, I wouldn't 1270 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:03,840 Speaker 3: be interested in Brandon Miller, but if you can get scoot, 1271 00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 3: a guy's gonna be coming there, handle the ball, good 1272 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,359 Speaker 3: mid range shooter, with the idea he'll probably be able 1273 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,280 Speaker 3: to extend that range out a little bit. Hell super athletic, 1274 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 3: but like just the idea, somebody who can get out 1275 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 3: and push the ball down the court. Set b I 1276 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 3: up in good spots, get balance units. You know what 1277 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 3: I'm saying, in good spots. I love that. I love 1278 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 3: that for New Orleans one hundred percent, especially when you 1279 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 3: think about the team when like Zion was playing a 1280 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 3: ton of games before his season and the injury in June, 1281 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 3: I mean in January. 1282 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 6: But if you want scoot, you gotta go to number two. 1283 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,839 Speaker 6: Then Scoot's not sloting the three, So then you're talking 1284 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:36,320 Speaker 6: to Charlotte. 1285 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 5: Depends on what Charlotte wants. It depends on what Charlotte won. 1286 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 3: I just don't think I reports that Charlotte flew an 1287 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 3: entire contingency down in Tuscaloosa last week to go ahead 1288 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 3: and investigate all the things that come along with Brandon Miller. 1289 00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:48,960 Speaker 3: I just think that, Yeah, that's true. But they gotta 1290 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,359 Speaker 3: do due diligence, you know what I'm saying. 1291 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,840 Speaker 6: They gotta they they have to, they have to research it, 1292 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 6: they gotta investigate, they gotta find out. But if Scoot 1293 00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 6: Henderson is what people think he can be and it's 1294 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,080 Speaker 6: gonna be, then I I would assume he's going number two. 1295 00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 6: And I think there are maybe a few teams looking 1296 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,759 Speaker 6: to get to number two. But I think you would 1297 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,040 Speaker 6: have to give Charlotte, especially with Jordan completing the cell 1298 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 6: of his majority stakes still keeping the minority stakes. So 1299 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 6: you're gonna have a new ownership group kind of coming 1300 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 6: in there. They're gonna need something to go with Mellow. 1301 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 6: They definitely need something to go with him. They've blown 1302 00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:21,400 Speaker 6: all their draft picks. I mean, even when they got 1303 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,680 Speaker 6: Gordon Hayward. He got hurt when he got there, so 1304 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,320 Speaker 6: they're gonna need somebody, a franchise changing, upstart guy. 1305 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 3: To come out. 1306 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 6: I just don't think with Zion just to jump back 1307 00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,400 Speaker 6: on him. I just don't think the kids got it, man, 1308 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,720 Speaker 6: I just don't. I don't care where he goes.

They'll funk you Call Madina, Mark Medeina, Mark, 1520 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:33,760 Speaker 3: what's going on my guy. 1521 01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 14: Uh, not much other than waiting to hear for your 1522 01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:40,680 Speaker 14: chakes on the NBA. You were telling me he got 1523 01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:41,320 Speaker 14: some hot one. 1524 01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:42,720 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, well here you go. 1525 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,680 Speaker 3: I personally, we'll start with the news of the of yesterday. 1526 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:50,040 Speaker 3: I suppose John Morint I personally thought it was kind 1527 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 3: of Goldilocks into. 1528 01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 5: Three bears right here, three grizzlies. 1529 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,400 Speaker 3: Baby, It wasn't quite too long, wasn't quite too short. 1530 01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,000 Speaker 5: I think they got it just right with the twenty 1531 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 5: five games suspension. 1532 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:05,200 Speaker 14: Yeah, look, I don't know how I feel about it, 1533 01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,440 Speaker 14: because I think at the end of the day, what 1534 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 14: ultimately matters is the NBA going to hold John Morant 1535 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,720 Speaker 14: a cantle and making sure that he changes his behavior 1536 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 14: as well as will John Morant do it. I mean, 1537 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,519 Speaker 14: I think, you know, dating back to the first of 1538 01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:23,120 Speaker 14: an incident, it just really felt like that all parties 1539 01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:27,160 Speaker 14: involved were all about more words and actions and that 1540 01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 14: you know, this kind of enabled the second go around 1541 01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 14: to happen. So yeah, I guess when you look at 1542 01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,720 Speaker 14: it compared to other players that were punished, you know, 1543 01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 14: certainly wasn't going to match the severity of run our 1544 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,839 Speaker 14: test and his role in the Palace brawl or Trell's 1545 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 14: free well for choking his head coach or Gilbert Reens 1546 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,600 Speaker 14: for bringing guns to the locker room. But I do 1547 01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,000 Speaker 14: think that it was warranted for him to get that 1548 01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 14: kind of suspension even if he didn't break a law, 1549 01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:58,240 Speaker 14: because one this came on the context, So this wasn't 1550 01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,519 Speaker 14: the first go round, right, And I think you know, 1551 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 14: from a league standpoint, knowing that John Morant is one 1552 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,320 Speaker 14: of the stars in the league, they don't want to 1553 01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 14: be sending any kind of messages to you know, his 1554 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:15,320 Speaker 14: fan base that you know, gun violence is okay or 1555 01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,760 Speaker 14: anything like that in terms of glorifying it. So we'll 1556 01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:20,000 Speaker 14: see what happens next season. 1557 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:21,760 Speaker 5: Hey, Mark's going on. 1558 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,439 Speaker 6: Man, if your Memphis front office, it seems like they're 1559 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 6: probably going to stick by him. Nike put out a 1560 01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 6: quote that they're going to support and also stick by 1561 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,080 Speaker 6: him too. But if you're the Memphis front office, where 1562 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:33,560 Speaker 6: do you go from here? How do you handle this 1563 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,360 Speaker 6: and how do you move forward with this and making 1564 01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,679 Speaker 6: sure that this is something you can't lose your superstar 1565 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 6: for twenty five games that can set them, that can 1566 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 6: set the season back right there they start off you know, 1567 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,000 Speaker 6: ten and fifteen, nine and sixteen something like that. 1568 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 3: In those games he's not. 1569 01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 6: Playing, you're climbing the uphill battle the last four months 1570 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,000 Speaker 6: of the season after Christmas. 1571 01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 5: If you're in the front office, how do you attack this? 1572 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 14: Yeah, well, I think what's interesting there's two things from 1573 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 14: a basketball standpoint. Don't get me wrong, John Morant' is 1574 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 14: one of the best players in the league. They're obviously 1575 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:06,840 Speaker 14: going to miss him, but they've had a lot of 1576 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,759 Speaker 14: experience in excelling without Jahn Morant because of his different 1577 01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,679 Speaker 14: injuries as well as you know, his initially game suspension 1578 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,639 Speaker 14: last season. I think Tyas Edney has shown that he's, 1579 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:19,960 Speaker 14: you know, really one of the best backup point guards 1580 01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 14: in the league right And that's part of it. But 1581 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 14: I think the bigger question is where they go from here, 1582 01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:30,320 Speaker 14: is how do they handle and manage Sean Morant moving forward. Look, 1583 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,720 Speaker 14: I don't think that it's productive to try to make 1584 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,360 Speaker 14: an example out of Jahn Morant. We are humans at 1585 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,439 Speaker 14: the end of the day. He is young. But it 1586 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 14: really felt like last season that they really kind of 1587 01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 14: gave him the small market syndrome where it was about 1588 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:51,400 Speaker 14: tiptoeing on eggshells around the superstar. Don't want to alienate him. 1589 01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 14: At any time that there are any you know, missteps, 1590 01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,120 Speaker 14: they always made excuses for him, and I felt like, 1591 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,800 Speaker 14: even though Jaw's his own man and he's only he 1592 01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:04,200 Speaker 14: is responsible for his own actions, I felt like that 1593 01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:08,720 Speaker 14: kind of environment helped enable that kind of behavior. So 1594 01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,680 Speaker 14: what they can do moving forward is follow what the 1595 01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 14: NBA says that it will do in saying that there 1596 01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 14: are certain conditions that he has to meet before being 1597 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,439 Speaker 14: reinstated after that twenty five game suspension. So you know, 1598 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:25,360 Speaker 14: give him the resources that he needs as far as 1599 01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:29,639 Speaker 14: whatever counseling, mental health services, you know, just organizational support, 1600 01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 14: but also hold him accountable and making sure that one 1601 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 14: he's not lashing guns on any more IG live videos. 1602 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 14: But also I think a broader point of you know, 1603 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,479 Speaker 14: while these are our adults. This isn't college you know 1604 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:46,920 Speaker 14: sports where players have curfews or anything, but being professional 1605 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,920 Speaker 14: and accountable and knowing you know, when's the right time 1606 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,479 Speaker 14: to go out when when is it not. And it's 1607 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 14: a really fine line because again, there are adults this 1608 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:01,200 Speaker 14: professional sports league. They can enforce what every player is 1609 01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,599 Speaker 14: doing on our own time, but there is a way 1610 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:07,960 Speaker 14: to I think recognize when will those things affect the 1611 01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 14: team or not. They gotta, you know, lay the groundwork 1612 01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:10,600 Speaker 14: on that. 1613 01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:17,200 Speaker 3: So from one small market coddling situation to another, I'll 1614 01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 3: put it like this, things have changed in New Orleans 1615 01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:23,400 Speaker 3: because if you to hear the way that Zion Williamson 1616 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 3: is being openly shopped across the NBA, it's like it's 1617 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 3: like the Kmar going out of business sales, like you 1618 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,760 Speaker 3: want a blue light special because we got one down 1619 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,559 Speaker 3: here in New Orleans. I'm of the belief that they 1620 01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:38,840 Speaker 3: might have to attach something else to move on from Zion, 1621 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 3: though at this point in game, At this point in 1622 01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:42,519 Speaker 3: the game, am I off on that? 1623 01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,559 Speaker 14: I guess you never know. I don't think you're off 1624 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,519 Speaker 14: in the sense that the same reason why New Orleans 1625 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 14: might want to consider train him in the first place, 1626 01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:57,439 Speaker 14: the injury history. We're just looking at Howie is on 1627 01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 14: the basketball court alone, there's no way in hell the 1628 01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 14: Pelicans should be entertaining any trade scenarios. But that's the 1629 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 14: bigger thing at hand, is that they just haven't known 1630 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,400 Speaker 14: when he's going to be available. And look like to 1631 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:14,800 Speaker 14: be clear, the professional off the court stuff, whatever he 1632 01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 14: does in his private life, like that's his own business here. 1633 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:22,560 Speaker 14: While why New Orleans has been talking about this, or 1634 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 14: at least thinking about it, has had everything to do 1635 01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:29,200 Speaker 14: with just the unpredictable nature of his injuries. And I 1636 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 14: guess it is predictable because there's always new ones coming up. 1637 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,920 Speaker 14: And I think what's frustrated Pelicans is when I've talked 1638 01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,880 Speaker 14: to people internally, they have been adamant that he's doing 1639 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,559 Speaker 14: the right things. He's taking care of his body, he's 1640 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 14: you know, being around the training staff and putting the work, 1641 01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,200 Speaker 14: and that they've also been adamant that, you know, his 1642 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:54,360 Speaker 14: hamstring injury that sidelined him the last part of the season, 1643 01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,320 Speaker 14: it wasn't related to his foot injury. It wasn't like 1644 01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:01,240 Speaker 14: a thing of his body over compensating. And so to 1645 01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:05,360 Speaker 14: the Pelicans perspective, they have stress that Zon's doing the 1646 01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:07,599 Speaker 14: right things. But at the end of the day, if 1647 01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,360 Speaker 14: your star player is not going to be available on 1648 01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:14,360 Speaker 14: a consistent, you know, a set of games, and you're 1649 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,000 Speaker 14: paying them that much money, at some point you do wonder, Okay, 1650 01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,240 Speaker 14: should I rip the band aid off and make some 1651 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 14: tough decisions. And I think that's where New Orleans is 1652 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,080 Speaker 14: at because of the fact that this is a pretty 1653 01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,479 Speaker 14: good draft, and if they can move up to number 1654 01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,400 Speaker 14: two or number three, you have a possibility of getting 1655 01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:35,240 Speaker 14: Scoot Henderson, who could be seen as a generational talent. 1656 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,200 Speaker 6: Martin Madana, Fox Sports Radio and FS one, NBA Insider, 1657 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,920 Speaker 6: Hero and Martin and VJ two minutes. 1658 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 3: Mark smoke screen. 1659 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,559 Speaker 5: Is this build thing a real big thing that's going 1660 01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 5: to happen? 1661 01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 3: Dude? 1662 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,439 Speaker 6: Does the Wizards want to get away from this contract? 1663 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,680 Speaker 6: We hear the Suns. We're here the Heat, and I 1664 01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:56,280 Speaker 6: don't know if you're better. I don't know if you're 1665 01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:58,080 Speaker 6: championship team, if you're Heat, if you get Bill Martin, 1666 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,800 Speaker 6: thing's differently. But is this just smoke screen stuff because 1667 01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,720 Speaker 6: the NBA just needs to be talked about leading up 1668 01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,360 Speaker 6: to the draft, or is this something that can really happen. 1669 01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:07,240 Speaker 6: I don't think this deal happens. I think Bill's a 1670 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:09,680 Speaker 6: Wizard next year, at least to the trade deadline. But 1671 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:11,120 Speaker 6: what are you hearing on this? 1672 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:11,439 Speaker 3: Brother? 1673 01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 14: Well, welcome to the NBA off season and so it's 1674 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:17,240 Speaker 14: all about right. Yeah, Look, I think the discussions are real. 1675 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 14: No one's making these things up. But at least from 1676 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,800 Speaker 14: what I've been told earlier in the week from Washington. 1677 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,439 Speaker 14: Then it wasn't a conversation that they had with Bradley 1678 01:15:26,479 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 14: Beal where they said, you know what, we're definitely starting 1679 01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,400 Speaker 14: things from scratch. And it was definitely not a thing 1680 01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:34,120 Speaker 14: that Bradley Beal said he want out. It was more 1681 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 14: of the new front office. They're trying to get the 1682 01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:39,160 Speaker 14: lay of the land, get a sense of if we 1683 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 14: do go in the rebuilding stage where he would sit, 1684 01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,760 Speaker 14: and at that point it was, hey, let's try to 1685 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,760 Speaker 14: find a better deal. That being said, I do think 1686 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,120 Speaker 14: that he will eventually get traded. I just don't know 1687 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,000 Speaker 14: when that will be. But why I think we'll be 1688 01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,679 Speaker 14: traded as they have a new front office and Michael 1689 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,280 Speaker 14: Winger he used to be with the Clippers, Travis Lank 1690 01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,640 Speaker 14: used to be with the Atlanta Hawks. The common denominator 1691 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 14: is both the value asked us. You know, his time 1692 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,080 Speaker 14: with the Clippers, Michael Winger wanted to have young, versatile 1693 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 14: wings and draft picks with UH with Travis Schlank in 1694 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:11,960 Speaker 14: Atlanta when he took over, they were a middling team 1695 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:14,840 Speaker 14: that could make the playoffs, but you know, just didn't 1696 01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 14: really go far. And I remember talking to him a 1697 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:18,680 Speaker 14: few years ago and he said, yeah, I felt like 1698 01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:22,599 Speaker 14: the team's best days were behind him, so he decided 1699 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,920 Speaker 14: to cut, you know, bait with some players and that 1700 01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,760 Speaker 14: resulted in dating the draft pick that got Tree young 1701 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,360 Speaker 14: and then they made some playoffs success. So I think 1702 01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 14: it's a matter of when, not if. But I don't 1703 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,760 Speaker 14: know if that's going to happen this week. But the 1704 01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,760 Speaker 14: reality is conversations are going to happen because that's what 1705 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:42,559 Speaker 14: happens leading into the draft because there's always leverage involved, 1706 01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 14: and we know. 1707 01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,479 Speaker 3: If the conversations are happening, Mark Madena will be an 1708 01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,720 Speaker 3: ear on the wall and let us know everything that's 1709 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,439 Speaker 3: going on in the NBA. Mark, Hey, you don't need 1710 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,800 Speaker 3: a netro track clause buddy with us would never ever 1711 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,040 Speaker 3: put you on the market.

The NFL is the only league that 1800 01:20:55,720 --> 01:21:00,599 Speaker 3: does this, and it probably needs to change. BJ Fox 1801 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,160 Speaker 3: Sports Radio, You got that right, Martin and BJ broadcasting 1802 01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:07,200 Speaker 3: live from the ti rack dot com studios.

Tire iraq dot com is the 1806 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,439 Speaker 3: way tire buying should be BJA. I personally think that 1807 01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:24,360 Speaker 3: this practice that the NFL is participating in, it's un American, 1808 01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:29,639 Speaker 3: American American an American. It goes against what this country 1809 01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:33,840 Speaker 3: fault wars for the proliferation of communism and revenue sharing. 1810 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 5: It's not American. I can't wait to hear. Let's take 1811 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,240 Speaker 5: go ahead, keep going where. 1812 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,559 Speaker 3: It's just the idea that you know, God forbid, you're 1813 01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:48,400 Speaker 3: a high school kid with questionable hands and can run 1814 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,880 Speaker 3: like a horse. You know what I mean, because you know, 1815 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,080 Speaker 3: generally what they would do is put you at running back. 1816 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,360 Speaker 3: Really right, Okay, put that running back and there's a 1817 01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:57,680 Speaker 3: certain point on. 1818 01:21:57,800 --> 01:21:59,320 Speaker 5: The fast kid, like the fastest kid on the team. 1819 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,320 Speaker 3: Horse. You know what I'm saying. Generally, you know, horses 1820 01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,760 Speaker 3: are pretty fast. Overwhelmingly, I was paying attention to the 1821 01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:08,080 Speaker 3: bad hands part, because some running backs do have bad hands. 1822 01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:10,080 Speaker 3: You put them running back, but ahead, well, they had 1823 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,519 Speaker 3: better hands. They play receiver. They're playing running back, and 1824 01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,880 Speaker 3: it's like a run backward. They play cornerback or safety, 1825 01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:20,360 Speaker 3: but they're running forward. This in this scenario, they're running forward, right, 1826 01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 3: But that kid gets to the league, and good luck, 1827 01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 3: because if you're not drafted in the appropriate position, your 1828 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:34,200 Speaker 3: idea of getting a long term payday noll shit. I mean, well, 1829 01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:36,880 Speaker 3: I should say it doesn't matter quite where you're drafted, 1830 01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 3: but no matter what the idea you're getting a long 1831 01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:40,640 Speaker 3: pay day is difficult. 1832 01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 6: And it's not only as difficult like you just said, 1833 01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:47,519 Speaker 6: it's it's it's not only just un American. I just 1834 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 6: think that it's now it's to the point where it 1835 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,280 Speaker 6: just makes for bad football, you know what I mean, 1836 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,800 Speaker 6: Like football, one on one running football, stop to run man, 1837 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,560 Speaker 6: and teams are devaluing the running back position. And I 1838 01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,720 Speaker 6: got a bunch of guys that listed down out a 1839 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:02,719 Speaker 6: bunch but a few, but the running back is almost 1840 01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:03,120 Speaker 6: turning it. 1841 01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 3: Into the center position in the NBA. 1842 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:06,840 Speaker 6: And the names that just come up with guys that 1843 01:23:07,479 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 6: are looking for money, looking for a contract, are looking 1844 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 6: for an extension are Cook, Jacobs, Barkley, and Austin Eckler. 1845 01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:15,680 Speaker 6: Those are the guys that I kind of looked at 1846 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 6: it and said, Okay, this kind of fits these four 1847 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,760 Speaker 6: guys right here. Somebody tweeted me earlier and said, what 1848 01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:22,680 Speaker 6: about Zeke. I think Zeke's done. I think he's been 1849 01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:24,160 Speaker 6: done for two to three years. I don't think he 1850 01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,080 Speaker 6: might not time with a team until training camp. Are 1851 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 6: running back gets hurt going into training camp. But when 1852 01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,880 Speaker 6: I look at these guys that are out there trying 1853 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,400 Speaker 6: to get extensions or free agents, like, it's really surprising 1854 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:37,640 Speaker 6: to me that Cook's not signed by somebody already. And 1855 01:23:37,720 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 6: I think it's because teams are just trying to wait 1856 01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:42,120 Speaker 6: him out and bring the price down because they don't 1857 01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 6: value running backs anymore. Because I guess you can find 1858 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 6: a Pacenko round was he fourth, fifth round or something 1859 01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:50,800 Speaker 6: like that. Isaiah Pachenko was like four picks away from 1860 01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,439 Speaker 6: being mister yeah, seventh round card. 1861 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,280 Speaker 3: Sorry, so seventh round pick. But you input them. You 1862 01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 3: have a great coach, you got a great quarterback, you 1863 01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:57,840 Speaker 3: got a great tight end. 1864 01:23:57,880 --> 01:23:59,840 Speaker 6: You got a system where a coach can use him 1865 01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,040 Speaker 6: any works, So you don't have to really overpay a 1866 01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:05,760 Speaker 6: running back to come in and run the ball when 1867 01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,320 Speaker 6: you got guys like Andy Reid and that front office 1868 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,240 Speaker 6: there with the Kansas City Chiefs that can find the 1869 01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:13,479 Speaker 6: guy in the seventh round, mister Kyle, excuse me, Shannon, 1870 01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:17,120 Speaker 6: Mike Shanahan to the father he found back after running 1871 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:21,240 Speaker 6: back orlandis Gary, Mike, Mike Anderson. Guys that can run 1872 01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 6: for fifteen hundred yards and then they have to take 1873 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,720 Speaker 6: them in the first, second, third round or give them 1874 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,280 Speaker 6: big type deals. And when these running backs do get 1875 01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:30,080 Speaker 6: these deals, it's almost like you just kinda get one 1876 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:31,240 Speaker 6: and after that one. 1877 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,920 Speaker 3: That's kind of it. And I think Todd Gurley was 1878 01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:34,840 Speaker 3: the best example of that. 1879 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:37,080 Speaker 6: He got that deal, but they knew that knee went right, 1880 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:38,800 Speaker 6: but they thought they needed to pay him to keep 1881 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:40,840 Speaker 6: him and they could get enough at him to get 1882 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 6: to the super Bowl and then to the super Bowl. 1883 01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:42,720 Speaker 3: They did. 1884 01:24:43,560 --> 01:24:45,000 Speaker 6: It was enough to get him to a super Bowl, 1885 01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,240 Speaker 6: but then after that they're like, Okay, goodbye. Alvin Kamar 1886 01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:49,920 Speaker 6: is a guy that just got recently paid. But he's 1887 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,679 Speaker 6: got So this whole thing is a farce. 1888 01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 3: Like this whole thing is a farce because in no 1889 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:59,559 Speaker 3: other professional sport does it matter what position you play. 1890 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 3: If you are the best player at your position, you 1891 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:07,679 Speaker 3: are getting paid a premium period. Stop. We just talked. 1892 01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,400 Speaker 3: You talked about you said the devaluation of the center 1893 01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 3: in the NBA. But they still get paid your kitchen 1894 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,120 Speaker 3: embiid is on Supermax. Yes, do you know what I'm saying? 1895 01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 3: Like the idea that simply because this is one of 1896 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 3: your better players, but he plays this position. Is That's 1897 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:26,479 Speaker 3: why I say it's un American. They're artificially suppressing like 1898 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,800 Speaker 3: you looking about what you just said about Dalvin Cook. Oh, 1899 01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 3: they're waiting to lower the price, to lower the market. 1900 01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,960 Speaker 3: Like the part of the reason why the market is 1901 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,080 Speaker 3: continually lower and lower and lower because there's not a 1902 01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,280 Speaker 3: true free market. It's not a trend are there are 1903 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 3: very there are very few true free markets. However, in 1904 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:50,120 Speaker 3: this scenario, you can't tell me you want to talk 1905 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,839 Speaker 3: about the collusion that is going through with Colin Kaepernick. 1906 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,720 Speaker 3: This right here is it? To me seems part and 1907 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:02,559 Speaker 3: parcel because the way is all set up by position. 1908 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,800 Speaker 3: There's this intentionally squeezing the running back market out, like 1909 01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:12,839 Speaker 3: the New York Giants for whatever reason not paying Saquon Barkley. 1910 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 3: Excuse me, have you seen your offense in the last 1911 01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:20,960 Speaker 3: four years. The beef with Saquon coming up was a 1912 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:25,160 Speaker 3: he was hurt b he couldn't pass plot. The last 1913 01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:28,320 Speaker 3: two seasons he's shown he can be a complete back. 1914 01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,439 Speaker 3: You should be able to negotiate some sort of deal 1915 01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:38,240 Speaker 3: in which Saquon Barkley, who is by far one of 1916 01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 3: the best players on the New York Giants, should be 1917 01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:44,720 Speaker 3: able to receive might be player. I'm just saying, I 1918 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:46,240 Speaker 3: don't know, how do you want to do a defensive 1919 01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 3: end or something, Dexter Lawrens whatever. I don't But but 1920 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,799 Speaker 3: I'm because I'm really trying not to make it arguable 1921 01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:54,719 Speaker 3: because there's no doubt he's the best five players. There's 1922 01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:59,120 Speaker 3: no doubt about that. Right, it's inarguable. And if that 1923 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,719 Speaker 3: is the case, he should be able to earn Dalvin 1924 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,840 Speaker 3: Cook was one of the Who's better Kirk Cousins? Are 1925 01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:06,479 Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook? 1926 01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:10,840 Speaker 5: Dalvin Cook? Right, who's better Kirk Cousins or Justin Jefferson. 1927 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:15,120 Speaker 3: Who's Like those are two moves that because Minnesota, hey 1928 01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:18,120 Speaker 3: is Kirk Cousins as a quarterback are moves that they 1929 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 3: have to consider. Well, we gotta, you know, we gotta 1930 01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 3: re sign Justin Jefferson. So now what are you gonna 1931 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,519 Speaker 3: do about Dalvin Cook? Like, because Kirk Cousins is some 1932 01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,680 Speaker 3: great shakes, It's like, no, this is intentionally like and 1933 01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,040 Speaker 3: I get it. Your injury risk is much greater at 1934 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:35,200 Speaker 3: running back. But today people stop getting hurt playing football. 1935 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:36,799 Speaker 3: Is today everybody's wearing flags. 1936 01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:41,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you one night. I so, I guess 1937 01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:42,920 Speaker 6: I'll propose a question to you. Okay, So then what 1938 01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:45,120 Speaker 6: do we do then? I mean, is there is there 1939 01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:46,960 Speaker 6: any way to stop this? I don't think there's any 1940 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:48,400 Speaker 6: way to stop it, but. 1941 01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:49,559 Speaker 3: I do believe that. 1942 01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:53,880 Speaker 6: There's been this poison that seeped into the league that 1943 01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,439 Speaker 6: you don't have to pay, like, don't pay a running 1944 01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 6: back and without a running back. And Christian McCaffrey was 1945 01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 6: on the Rich Eisen Show and he said it so 1946 01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,680 Speaker 6: perfectly that without your running back, Yeah, you got these 1947 01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:07,680 Speaker 6: receivers that are all getting money, and quarterbacks are all 1948 01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:10,320 Speaker 6: getting money. But let's get real. You run the ball 1949 01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:12,120 Speaker 6: to set up to pass. You don't pass to set 1950 01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:13,960 Speaker 6: up to run. And if you do, it's gimmicky and 1951 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,360 Speaker 6: it's not gonna last long. You have to run the football. 1952 01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:18,840 Speaker 6: So these receivers that are getting open. You know why 1953 01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,120 Speaker 6: Justin Jefferson can go for eighteen hundred yards, and that's 1954 01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,840 Speaker 6: because his running back is running for thirteen fourteen hundred yards. 1955 01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,240 Speaker 6: That's why you're seeing so much one on one coverage. 1956 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,640 Speaker 6: Our safeties are dipping up a little far in the 1957 01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:32,000 Speaker 6: play action. It's because of the guy back there. But 1958 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,519 Speaker 6: if you don't have that, then you can't get open, 1959 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,680 Speaker 6: you can't get your one on one, you can't get 1960 01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:39,559 Speaker 6: room to free room to roam around and be free. 1961 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:42,720 Speaker 6: So it always starts with the running game. And I 1962 01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 6: think that the respect the running backs has also gone 1963 01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:49,000 Speaker 6: away too. People just don't respect running backs anymore. It's 1964 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:50,800 Speaker 6: like I said, I don't have an answer for it. 1965 01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:51,400 Speaker 3: What do you do. 1966 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,560 Speaker 6: There's nothing you can do. That's the trend, that's the 1967 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,600 Speaker 6: way that it's going. And you can just continue to 1968 01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,160 Speaker 6: find these guys in late rounds and piece of men. 1969 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,800 Speaker 6: What's gonna end up happening is kids are gonna want 1970 01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,960 Speaker 6: to stop playing running Honestly, kids are gonna want to 1971 01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,479 Speaker 6: stop playing running back. And when you get to the NFL, 1972 01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:07,920 Speaker 6: you already know you got about a four a year 1973 01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:09,880 Speaker 6: winning if you look at these backs that are looking 1974 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,320 Speaker 6: for deals. Sik has only been in the league five years. 1975 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 3: Jacobs he led the league in rushing last year five 1976 01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,599 Speaker 3: yards to carry, three hundred and forty carries twelve touchdowns, 1977 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:21,000 Speaker 3: seventeen for seventeen, started every game last year. He's only 1978 01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:22,960 Speaker 3: been in the league for four years, and he's damn 1979 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,639 Speaker 3: near trying to beg Vegas to give him an exist. 1980 01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:27,840 Speaker 3: This is what happens. You run on your rookie deal, 1981 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,640 Speaker 3: and after your rookie deal is over, there's just no 1982 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:34,759 Speaker 3: mark and like it's impossible to okay for every Isaiah 1983 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:40,440 Speaker 3: Pacheco that works. Yes, and part because the best quarterback 1984 01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:42,840 Speaker 3: in the game currently is his quarterback. 1985 01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:45,679 Speaker 5: Right now, you go and look at Daniel Jones. 1986 01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,519 Speaker 3: Nobody in their right mind and maybe even nobody in 1987 01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,040 Speaker 3: the left is saying Daniel Jones is the. 1988 01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 5: Best quarterback in the league. 1989 01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:56,080 Speaker 3: You maybe if you close your eyes and plug your ods, 1990 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,439 Speaker 3: you can convince yourself you can win with them. I'm 1991 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:00,840 Speaker 3: not even sold to that point, you know what I'm saying. 1992 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,680 Speaker 3: But maybe, just maybe you can get to there. But 1993 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,439 Speaker 3: if you're not running the ball effectively with Sakwon Barkley 1994 01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:10,400 Speaker 3: or whoever is a guy back there, that's the problem. 1995 01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:12,760 Speaker 3: And the other thing that makes this when I say 1996 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,640 Speaker 3: un American, is this it's essential. First of all, the 1997 01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 3: idea of a salary cap goes against everything that capitalism 1998 01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 3: stands for just for that record, just put that out there. Now, 1999 01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:26,360 Speaker 3: what essentially is happening with running backs. It's a salary 2000 01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:30,960 Speaker 3: cap inside of a salary cap, because now you can't 2001 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:33,519 Speaker 3: make if the tender tag, what's the. 2002 01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:36,160 Speaker 5: Franchise tag for running backs? Like ten million or something. 2003 01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:40,640 Speaker 3: Like that, So any negotiated deal, and history shows that 2004 01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:42,320 Speaker 3: we will see these guys like Pollard. 2005 01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 5: I think Posa Pollard signed his tag because you know, 2006 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:47,880 Speaker 5: he's hurt. He didn't have a choice. Yeah, he didn't 2007 01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:49,559 Speaker 5: have a choice. He's coming off of a had. 2008 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,439 Speaker 3: But generally, we've we've seen in the history, we've seen 2009 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:56,160 Speaker 3: these teams guys get signed to tags and then eventually 2010 01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,280 Speaker 3: negotiate a little bit of a longer term deal. But again, 2011 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:02,000 Speaker 3: it's gonna at that nine ten million dollars because that 2012 01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:05,719 Speaker 3: is what the league has decided running backs are worth 2013 01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:11,040 Speaker 3: as opposed to across the board, as opposed to the 2014 01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:15,040 Speaker 3: best running backs in the league being paid as such, 2015 01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:19,000 Speaker 3: and then everybody else falling in line. They think about 2016 01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:22,559 Speaker 3: think about the concept the Minnesota Vikings just let Dalvin 2017 01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:27,880 Speaker 3: Cook walk and there's zero chance, there's zero chance unless 2018 01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:30,840 Speaker 3: they want to do football malpractice. That justin Jefferson is 2019 01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,880 Speaker 3: not a Viking at the end of after the year, 2020 01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:33,680 Speaker 3: after his rookie deal. 2021 01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,519 Speaker 6: Absolutely, he's got to be a Viking. I mean, coming 2022 01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:38,720 Speaker 6: off the season that he just had. But if you 2023 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:40,960 Speaker 6: if you even want to look at just the highest 2024 01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 6: paid running backs in the league right now going into 2025 01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:47,240 Speaker 6: the twenty twenty three season, the highest paid running backs, 2026 01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:51,160 Speaker 6: these guys are guys honestly all off of like newer, 2027 01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:54,679 Speaker 6: fresh deals. But once these deals are over there they're 2028 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:58,400 Speaker 6: not gonna get another big deal. Once again, what do 2029 01:31:58,439 --> 01:31:59,080 Speaker 6: you what do you do? 2030 01:31:59,200 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 3: Though? 2031 01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,720 Speaker 6: Kamar making fifteen million a year, No team after this 2032 01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:04,519 Speaker 6: deal's over, there's not a team that's going to pay 2033 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,559 Speaker 6: him fifteen million dollars a year. Cook was at twelve 2034 01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:11,000 Speaker 6: point six, but he's looking for anywhere between ten to fifteen. 2035 01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:13,000 Speaker 6: I'm on a free agent deal right now. 2036 01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:17,439 Speaker 3: So it's like you said, I like the cap within 2037 01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:20,920 Speaker 3: a cap that's actually very very, very creative. So that's 2038 01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,720 Speaker 3: just what's happened to the physicians, is this creative financing 2039 01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,720 Speaker 3: that the owners are doing and nobody's saying anything about it. 2040 01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:26,519 Speaker 5: Well, you know what I'm saying. 2041 01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:28,320 Speaker 6: Let me ask you this, do they have don't they 2042 01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:30,840 Speaker 6: kind of have the right to pay what they want 2043 01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:32,960 Speaker 6: to pay, Like, you know what, the franchise tag is, Okay, cool, 2044 01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:34,879 Speaker 6: so we gotta do it. But if you're not franchise, 2045 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:38,360 Speaker 6: we don't have to give you the deal that you want. 2046 01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:40,920 Speaker 3: We could just we can find somebody else, or we 2047 01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:44,360 Speaker 3: can see what happens with the draft for so for me, 2048 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:48,400 Speaker 3: and this is the issue there is. There's never going 2049 01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:52,439 Speaker 3: to be unless the entire like all the NFL players 2050 01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:55,680 Speaker 3: say hey, we're not standing for this. There's never going 2051 01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:59,160 Speaker 3: to be a scenario in which there's not somebody else up. 2052 01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:02,880 Speaker 3: Like if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, for example, A'veon Bell, 2053 01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:05,960 Speaker 3: he walked, you've still been running the ball. But like 2054 01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:10,200 Speaker 3: everybody crushed Le'Veon for not signing the tag, It's like, well, 2055 01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:12,880 Speaker 3: you know, and I do have a quick aside on that, 2056 01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:14,479 Speaker 3: maybe if he hadn't to going to the Jets with 2057 01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:19,400 Speaker 3: Adam Gase, who is Jets and at every step of 2058 01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:22,880 Speaker 3: the way, like maybe I just I just wish NFL 2059 01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:26,720 Speaker 3: could potentially go back and somehow put Le'Veon Bell on 2060 01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:30,080 Speaker 3: a better team after that, after that happened, after the 2061 01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:32,960 Speaker 3: Jets happened, just to see it maybe maybe because maybe 2062 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 3: just maybe like seeing some proof of it working would 2063 01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 3: have a different idea. But if I'm if I like 2064 01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:41,600 Speaker 3: the Players Association the same way that they need to 2065 01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,120 Speaker 3: do something of a job, and Ren after coming down 2066 01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:46,000 Speaker 3: with the twenty five games of SPENSIONA should the least 2067 01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:49,120 Speaker 3: show face of doing something. I'm the Player Association, bro. 2068 01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,840 Speaker 3: We got to have a real long conversation because because 2069 01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:55,479 Speaker 3: here's the thing. If I'm hitting four point fifty as 2070 01:33:55,560 --> 01:33:59,400 Speaker 3: a left fielder, as a first baseman or as a shortstop, 2071 01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:04,800 Speaker 3: yes I'm getting paid. If I'm hitting triple doubles from 2072 01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,200 Speaker 3: if I'm six to one or from seven to one, 2073 01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:09,479 Speaker 3: guess what I'm getting paid. 2074 01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:12,560 Speaker 6: Running backs are getting paid, though Christian McCaffrey is the 2075 01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:16,880 Speaker 6: league top back Kamaras at fifteen, Zeke was, but I 2076 01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:17,759 Speaker 6: mean not anymore. 2077 01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:20,120 Speaker 5: Zeke's not there. Davin was at the twelve point six. 2078 01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,519 Speaker 6: But you do have some guys and Derek Henry, Nick Chubb, 2079 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:25,679 Speaker 6: they're both over twelve, Joe Mixon twelve, Aaron Jones twelve, 2080 01:34:26,240 --> 01:34:28,160 Speaker 6: Sakwan will be the franchise at ten, and then the 2081 01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:30,760 Speaker 6: coach Josh Jacobs. But I think what these backs are 2082 01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,000 Speaker 6: asking for and Saquan said it when he was interviewed 2083 01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:35,439 Speaker 6: this past week that I want to be I'm not 2084 01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:37,679 Speaker 6: asking to be the highest paid back in the league. 2085 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:41,439 Speaker 6: What I'm asking is to be paid respectably for the 2086 01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:44,360 Speaker 6: production that I give to our football team. And I'll 2087 01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,120 Speaker 6: tell you this, you take Saquan out of that offense, 2088 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,320 Speaker 6: that's a six win team this year. Like if Saquan 2089 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:51,080 Speaker 6: dun played this year, I don't care what eut you 2090 01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:53,400 Speaker 6: add it. You still need your back. And he came 2091 01:34:53,479 --> 01:34:56,200 Speaker 6: back and bounced back last year thirteen almost fourteen hundred 2092 01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,519 Speaker 6: yards and ten touchdowns. Austin Eckler is another really interesting 2093 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:01,519 Speaker 6: one because people can point out where he's never had 2094 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:02,639 Speaker 6: a thousand yard season. 2095 01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 3: VG. I'm like, yeah, I know that clear is the 2096 01:35:04,280 --> 01:35:06,800 Speaker 3: exact number. The is the guy. 2097 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:08,840 Speaker 5: Yeah that should be getting paid exactly. 2098 01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:08,920 Speaker 3: I said. 2099 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:10,960 Speaker 6: And but my rebuttal two has never had a thousand 2100 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:13,280 Speaker 6: yard season. Yeah, He's also had years where he caught 2101 01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:16,320 Speaker 6: the ball seventy to fifty four, ninety and one hundred 2102 01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,680 Speaker 6: and seven catches. So don't tell me just because he 2103 01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,760 Speaker 6: didn't have a thousand yard a year in his career, 2104 01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,559 Speaker 6: he doesn't he can't catch the ball. He's still around 2105 01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:28,600 Speaker 6: eighteen to two thousand yards of yards from scrimmage on 2106 01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:30,960 Speaker 6: it as far as receiving and catching the football, so 2107 01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:33,200 Speaker 6: running backs do more than just run. There's something that's 2108 01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:35,479 Speaker 6: catching the ball too. Christian got paid. I just hope 2109 01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:36,960 Speaker 6: some of these guys also get paid too. 2110 01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:39,479 Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm not seeing it. I'm not seeing it happen 2111 01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:43,960 Speaker 3: at anytime soon. It just really, it really is wrong 2112 01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:49,160 Speaker 3: that the NFL still slots salaries by position. Like the 2113 01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,280 Speaker 3: idea that that is the case. It is just not 2114 01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,400 Speaker 3: the same in any other professional sport. Like the same 2115 01:35:55,439 --> 01:35:57,920 Speaker 3: way they all got CBAS, they don't all got this 2116 01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:00,719 Speaker 3: and this, and it really is not need to revisit 2117 01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:01,120 Speaker 3: this one. 2118 01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:02,400 Speaker 5: It really is not right. 2119 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:05,480 Speaker 3: Coming up next, VJ wants to say where does Otani 2120 01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:09,519 Speaker 3: stack up in terms of all time great baseball players? 2121 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 3: Martin VJ, Fox Sports Radio, Martin VD, coming to you 2122 01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:16,800 Speaker 3: live from the Tirack dot Com studios.

Four home 2133 01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:52,080 Speaker 6: runs in that four game set, and three of them 2134 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,519 Speaker 6: were just I watched every pitch of all four games, 2135 01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:57,800 Speaker 6: and three of those shots were just blast. And then 2136 01:36:57,840 --> 01:36:59,880 Speaker 6: he also was on the bunk two where he went 2137 01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:02,400 Speaker 6: he pretty well that day also to going seven innings. 2138 01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:04,040 Speaker 6: I think it only gave him one run and gave 2139 01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:05,960 Speaker 6: him three hits, struck out six or something like that. 2140 01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:08,680 Speaker 6: But I started to just really look at this guy. 2141 01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:11,519 Speaker 6: He reminds me a lot and not him the way 2142 01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:14,439 Speaker 6: we talk about and treat him as kind of how 2143 01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 6: we talk about entreat Jokic, where you know he's great. 2144 01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:20,559 Speaker 3: You could see he's. 2145 01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:24,800 Speaker 6: Really really really good, really great, but you're almost it's 2146 01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:27,639 Speaker 6: almost like we're waiting for the moment to go. I see, 2147 01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:31,080 Speaker 6: I could see, Yeah, Yeah, there's the there's the chink 2148 01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:31,639 Speaker 6: in the armor. 2149 01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:34,400 Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about, right, there. Yeah he's not 2150 01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:34,960 Speaker 3: that good. 2151 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:37,719 Speaker 6: Yeah he's he's cool at all, but he'll he'll fade 2152 01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,240 Speaker 6: out our he's flavored them up. And just every time 2153 01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:43,120 Speaker 6: I watch this guy, I'm like, Wow, this dude is 2154 01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:46,280 Speaker 6: really good, Like I can't find a hole in his game. 2155 01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:47,120 Speaker 3: And it started to make me. 2156 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:48,840 Speaker 6: I don't think all time, and I try not to 2157 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:50,880 Speaker 6: go that far back, but it didn't make me go, Okay, 2158 01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:52,800 Speaker 6: is this the best player I've seen in the last 2159 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:54,360 Speaker 6: ten years? And then I said, okay, let me go 2160 01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:56,120 Speaker 6: back a little more. Is this the best player I've 2161 01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:57,680 Speaker 6: seen in the last twenty years? And I stopped it 2162 01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,560 Speaker 6: right there, and my answer Mary, Mike might. I'm not 2163 01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:02,680 Speaker 6: sure yet, but it might be. Yes, he might be 2164 01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:06,600 Speaker 6: the best all around baseball player I've seen. And I 2165 01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:08,040 Speaker 6: know he's just a pitcher and he's not a field. 2166 01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 6: He's not a field. I get that, but the pitch 2167 01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:13,640 Speaker 6: and then it hit the way he does, it's just phenomenal. 2168 01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:13,880 Speaker 14: Man. 2169 01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:14,679 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 2170 01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:17,439 Speaker 6: I even heard a baseball historian who said he was 2171 01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,479 Speaker 6: even tired of the Babe Ruth comparisons, and I'm like, oh, 2172 01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:23,400 Speaker 6: whoa guy's over fifty sixty. They loved throwing Babe Ruth 2173 01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:26,680 Speaker 6: out there, but he kind of puts some context to us. Like, listen, man, 2174 01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:28,960 Speaker 6: there was a point Babe Ruth wasn't even pitching like that. 2175 01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,800 Speaker 6: He wasn't pitching that often. He was just a primary hitter. 2176 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:35,400 Speaker 6: This guy is still doing both every day hitting and 2177 01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:38,120 Speaker 6: then pitching every four or five days. I think he 2178 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,360 Speaker 6: might be the best baseball player I've seen in the 2179 01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:42,479 Speaker 6: last twenty years. 2180 01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:44,439 Speaker 3: Well, I think the moment that you're waiting for is 2181 01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 3: the postseason. Like, I think that would be the moment. 2182 01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:50,920 Speaker 3: I mean the same as Jokish. Like everybody was down 2183 01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:53,280 Speaker 3: on Yo. I'll say everybody, but people who were down 2184 01:38:53,360 --> 01:38:55,479 Speaker 3: on the people who were down on Jokis were like, 2185 01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:57,839 Speaker 3: all right, that's awesome. 2186 01:38:57,960 --> 01:39:00,160 Speaker 5: He has one of your seasons is incredible. I'm not 2187 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:01,120 Speaker 5: trying to downplay that. 2188 01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:03,439 Speaker 3: But you make your name in the playoffs, you make 2189 01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:06,360 Speaker 3: your name in the postseason, you make your name when 2190 01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:10,000 Speaker 3: games count that much more then now that Joki has 2191 01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:13,480 Speaker 3: done that, went through a playoff run, which was incredible. 2192 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:16,479 Speaker 5: By the way, sixteen and four, right, I mean. 2193 01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:20,639 Speaker 3: That's how it wasn't a historical right most points, mostly 2194 01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:23,960 Speaker 3: since most rebounds, but ever, but like to the point, 2195 01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:26,519 Speaker 3: he also was doing stuff like that in the regular season, 2196 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:28,559 Speaker 3: so like when you see him doing it in the playoffs, 2197 01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:34,599 Speaker 3: it's a confirmation. However, before seeing it happen, you never 2198 01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 3: you didn't know, because I mean, we see it all 2199 01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:40,599 Speaker 3: the time where athletes are great in the regular season 2200 01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,560 Speaker 3: and not so great in the postseason. I mean, just 2201 01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:47,080 Speaker 3: think of the run we just had, right, Michael Porter 2202 01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:49,800 Speaker 3: Junior was averaging twenty points a game in the regular season. 2203 01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:51,799 Speaker 5: As the playoffs went. 2204 01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:54,360 Speaker 3: Further and further along, he averaged less and less, and 2205 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:57,560 Speaker 3: to the point in the finals he was borderline unplayable. 2206 01:39:58,040 --> 01:39:59,280 Speaker 5: It's not a knock on him. 2207 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:01,320 Speaker 3: I'm not saying it, and I'm not saying he's a 2208 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:04,759 Speaker 3: bad player or anything of that nature. It's just things 2209 01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,960 Speaker 3: change in the playoffs. 2210 01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:09,320 Speaker 6: So are you just are you waiting to give your 2211 01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:13,760 Speaker 6: like your final Where is you gotta se him in 2212 01:40:13,800 --> 01:40:15,000 Speaker 6: a play got to sehi in a pot season? 2213 01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because that's where that's where to me, 2214 01:40:17,760 --> 01:40:19,840 Speaker 3: where it really matters the most. Hard. 2215 01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,760 Speaker 6: That's hard in baseball, though, because you need a lot 2216 01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:25,080 Speaker 6: of things to go right in baseball for you to 2217 01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:27,439 Speaker 6: get Because Trout hasn't done nothing in the postseason, but 2218 01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:29,640 Speaker 6: people were calling him the best player in base is 2219 01:40:30,439 --> 01:40:32,160 Speaker 6: five players we've ever seen in our lives. 2220 01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,960 Speaker 3: The entire time that they were putting up Trout's war 2221 01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:38,280 Speaker 3: numbers up next to Miguel Cabrera's home runs and RBIs, 2222 01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:40,040 Speaker 3: I was like, this just. 2223 01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:40,800 Speaker 5: Makes no sense. 2224 01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:44,000 Speaker 3: This is dumb. This winning should matter in professional sports 2225 01:40:44,240 --> 01:40:45,840 Speaker 3: should oh absolutely it should. 2226 01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:47,360 Speaker 5: Matter as far as but we're not in that error anymore. 2227 01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:51,559 Speaker 3: I'm with you, though, Bro, I mean, you've been doing 2228 01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,720 Speaker 3: showed me long enough, you should know I'm I'm with 2229 01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:56,600 Speaker 3: you as far as that's concerned. But the only thing, 2230 01:40:56,680 --> 01:40:59,919 Speaker 3: the only pushback I'll give is the postseason thing with baseball. 2231 01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:01,960 Speaker 3: It's like kick Griffy Jr. 2232 01:41:02,040 --> 01:41:05,120 Speaker 6: He didn't have a ton of postseason success. Like his 2233 01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,160 Speaker 6: biggest moment is rounding third base against the Yankees and 2234 01:41:08,240 --> 01:41:11,080 Speaker 6: sliding and and and the camera view of him on 2235 01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:13,240 Speaker 6: the stomach and all the teammates coming. That's like the 2236 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,960 Speaker 6: best you're gonna get Griffy a post as far as postseason. 2237 01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,280 Speaker 6: But no one's gonna tell you that he's not a 2238 01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,160 Speaker 6: top ten five to two player of all time, probably 2239 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:22,599 Speaker 6: top five depending upon who. 2240 01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:26,160 Speaker 3: You talk to. But okay, we're talking skills and ability, 2241 01:41:26,240 --> 01:41:28,320 Speaker 3: then sure you can rate that, but we're talking about 2242 01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:31,439 Speaker 3: the best, like the ones that are standing out in 2243 01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:33,559 Speaker 3: the history of the game. That's what I'm saying. They 2244 01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,880 Speaker 3: make their names in the playoffs. Like I'm not saying 2245 01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:38,920 Speaker 3: that Shoe Time is not some not great. I'm not 2246 01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:40,720 Speaker 3: saying that. But if you if you want to sit 2247 01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:42,559 Speaker 3: there and say I'm gonna wait to crown him until 2248 01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:45,280 Speaker 3: you see him win, I'm fine with it. Wow, I'm 2249 01:41:45,320 --> 01:41:47,479 Speaker 3: fly like I really truly am. And I don't I 2250 01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:49,519 Speaker 3: know Bo hates that Offendon. He called me an idiot 2251 01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:52,040 Speaker 3: for it well before well because it's hard and jumping 2252 01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:53,280 Speaker 3: here both hard in baseball, right. 2253 01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:56,320 Speaker 13: Yeah, the Angels scored nine runs today and they lost 2254 01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:58,439 Speaker 13: nine to ten because of the Royals scored two runs 2255 01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:01,000 Speaker 13: in the bottom of the ninth Like that. Nothing Trout 2256 01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:04,000 Speaker 13: or Otani can do about that. They you know, tany 2257 01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,519 Speaker 13: hit a home run today, Trout hit he hit two. 2258 01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,080 Speaker 13: He he went two for four today. It's just harder 2259 01:42:09,120 --> 01:42:11,600 Speaker 13: in baseball to do the individual greatness stuff like it. 2260 01:42:12,400 --> 01:42:14,960 Speaker 13: It's it's tough and doesn't doesn't show. He now lead 2261 01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:16,880 Speaker 13: the league in home runs, isn't he the League leading 2262 01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:18,960 Speaker 13: the whole runs. Now, yeah, it's all I mean, you 2263 01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:21,280 Speaker 13: can argue that Otani is the best hitter and pitcher 2264 01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:24,200 Speaker 13: in baseball right now. It's it's silly, yeah, And I'm 2265 01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:26,360 Speaker 13: not trying to up to me. I'm not taking that away. 2266 01:42:26,680 --> 01:42:28,800 Speaker 13: At a certain point though, too, It's like I want 2267 01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,080 Speaker 13: these guys to win. Like we all know Kershaw is 2268 01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:33,800 Speaker 13: one of the greatest pitchers of all time, but it's 2269 01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:36,559 Speaker 13: different now that he has a World Series title exactly. 2270 01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:38,400 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. I'm not I'm not saying that 2271 01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:40,920 Speaker 3: he's not great. I'm not saying like I'm not I'm 2272 01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:44,360 Speaker 3: not going that.

He you know, he kind of tiptoed 2298 01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:57,000 Speaker 6: into the wall, ferried into the wall and let the 2299 01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:58,000 Speaker 6: ball hit off of him. 2300 01:43:58,040 --> 01:43:58,240 Speaker 13: Yeah. 2301 01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:02,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, bad memories for But you know, I saw that 2302 01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,160 Speaker 3: Tigers team, like I went on a huge rant about 2303 01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:05,760 Speaker 3: last week. 2304 01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:09,120 Speaker 5: They won the Al Central like a million times in 2305 01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:09,439 Speaker 5: a row. 2306 01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:11,040 Speaker 3: They had some of the best hitters ever and then 2307 01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:13,920 Speaker 3: Erlin Dre and Shrews you know what, they didn't win Jack. 2308 01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:16,360 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, they didn't win nothing about 2309 01:44:16,360 --> 01:44:16,920 Speaker 3: the most they. 2310 01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:18,960 Speaker 6: Did win, though they won the world. Way about the 2311 01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:21,519 Speaker 6: team that did win that was the that was in 2312 01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:22,320 Speaker 6: nineteen eighty four. 2313 01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:25,759 Speaker 3: I'm talking about the twenty thirteen Tigers that had multiple 2314 01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:29,080 Speaker 3: Hall of Famers, multiple guys who are still making major 2315 01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:32,240 Speaker 3: impact in the league right now. They didn't win, Jack, 2316 01:44:32,360 --> 01:44:33,920 Speaker 3: And so no, I'm not saying they're one of the 2317 01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:35,880 Speaker 3: best teams ever, even though if you go look where 2318 01:44:35,880 --> 01:44:36,360 Speaker 3: they all went. 2319 01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:40,320 Speaker 13: Sure, Yeah, baseball is so tough too, because even if 2320 01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:43,839 Speaker 13: you do win a lot, you don't necessarily like become 2321 01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,120 Speaker 13: any Like Madison Bumgarner is one of the greatest postseason 2322 01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:48,720 Speaker 13: pitchers of all time, and I think he's going to 2323 01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:51,679 Speaker 13: be kind of forgotten because of the way his career ended. 2324 01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:55,240 Speaker 3: Yeah there, Yeah, Well he's not gonna make a Hall 2325 01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:57,240 Speaker 3: of Fame or anything like that.

Steve I said it, who wants 2328 01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,160 Speaker 3: to get fired more than Bob Buggins. It looks like 2329 01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:06,920 Speaker 3: we might have found the solution to that with Steve 2330 01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:09,360 Speaker 3: de Sega, with the trending or he'll just resign. 2331 01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:11,280 Speaker 9: I'm glad you brought up the name. Tony Gwynn, by 2332 01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:13,160 Speaker 9: the way, one of the best hitters for average we'll 2333 01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:16,400 Speaker 9: ever see in our lifetimes. When Padres finally got back 2334 01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,920 Speaker 9: to the World Series nineteen ninety eight, unfortunately it was 2335 01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:22,200 Speaker 9: against maybe the best team we've ever seen in our lifetime, 2336 01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:25,000 Speaker 9: the nineteen ninety eight Yankees. And yet Gwynn Homer at 2337 01:45:25,040 --> 01:45:28,080 Speaker 9: Yankee Stadium, batted five hundred in the World Series and 2338 01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:28,840 Speaker 9: they got swept. 2339 01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:31,840 Speaker 3: So there, and that's not on Gwen and that's not 2340 01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:34,720 Speaker 3: on gwyn But I still remember his postseason numbers, though 2341 01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:35,240 Speaker 3: I do. 2342 01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:39,080 Speaker 9: He dominated that series.

Where do you see this shaking out? 2443 01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:05,000 Speaker 10: I hate to say, but I do think, Okhani Leeves 2444 01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:08,280 Speaker 10: it makes sense for him to go to the Dodgers. 2445 01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:08,680 Speaker 1: Why not. 2446 01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:11,920 Speaker 10: You're already in the Southern count area. There's still a 2447 01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:14,200 Speaker 10: huge Japanese Asian population down there. 2448 01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:15,640 Speaker 13: Why not. 2449 01:50:15,720 --> 01:50:16,519 Speaker 14: It's a big market. 2450 01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:18,520 Speaker 10: You know, you're gonna have a chance at a championship 2451 01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:20,400 Speaker 10: every year, you're going to be in the postseason. So 2452 01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:22,720 Speaker 10: in my opinion, that's where I see him going there. 2453 01:50:22,800 --> 01:50:24,360 Speaker 10: I guess a lot of other people see him going 2454 01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:24,800 Speaker 10: there as well. 2455 01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:28,800 Speaker 5: Now we see another team going right the Oakland A's. 2456 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:31,160 Speaker 3: I mean, that's aw billboard they head up in Vegas 2457 01:50:31,240 --> 01:50:34,760 Speaker 3: right now, you know, basically putting up a celebration for 2458 01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:37,760 Speaker 3: the Golden Knights based off the Las Vegas A's, Like 2459 01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:40,920 Speaker 3: they put up a billboard and meanwhile, the Oakland A's 2460 01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,760 Speaker 3: lost today. I don't know a little, a little confusing there. 2461 01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:47,400 Speaker 3: But what were your thoughts about that reverse boycott as 2462 01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:50,720 Speaker 3: well as Rob Manfred's comments after it. 2463 01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:54,400 Speaker 10: I love it from the fans perspective. As far as 2464 01:50:54,520 --> 01:50:58,080 Speaker 10: Rob Manfred, I am disappointed by that comment. It seemed 2465 01:50:58,120 --> 01:51:00,160 Speaker 10: like he was taking a shot at the fans. It's 2466 01:51:00,160 --> 01:51:01,760 Speaker 10: almost like, come on, bro, you know why the fans 2467 01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:03,680 Speaker 10: aren't showing up. Don't make it seem like they've had 2468 01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:05,560 Speaker 10: a reason to show up and they're just choosing not to. 2469 01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:08,000 Speaker 10: You know, they don't have a product to cheer for, 2470 01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 10: to be excited about, so why would they spend their 2471 01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:12,320 Speaker 10: harder money and show for the game. So don't try 2472 01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:14,960 Speaker 10: to make it sound like they're crazy for not showing up. 2473 01:51:15,160 --> 01:51:15,280 Speaker 9: You know. 2474 01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:17,480 Speaker 10: That's how I took it with that comment. 2475 01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:21,720 Speaker 6: He made to Mars Day content creator from mlbbro dot com. 2476 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:24,479 Speaker 6: Doing great work over there. Something that caught my attention 2477 01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:26,639 Speaker 6: as I pick up my baseball watching. As Martin said 2478 01:51:26,680 --> 01:51:28,360 Speaker 6: a minute to go, we're in baseball season. There's no 2479 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:30,840 Speaker 6: more NBA games. Football is still a little bit of ways, 2480 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:34,920 Speaker 6: but we're in baseball season. Jt Rio Muto hit for 2481 01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:37,879 Speaker 6: the cycle. Okay, only the twenty six excuse me, sixteenth 2482 01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:40,960 Speaker 6: catcher to ever do it since nineteen oh one, and 2483 01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:42,439 Speaker 6: I went and I looked it up. I was like, Wow, 2484 01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:44,639 Speaker 6: why is it only sixteen catchers and there's so many 2485 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:47,280 Speaker 6: other positions that have much more, many more guys that 2486 01:51:47,320 --> 01:51:49,879 Speaker 6: have done it. Why is it so hard for catchers? 2487 01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:52,400 Speaker 6: What is it with catchers hitting for their cycle? Why 2488 01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:55,200 Speaker 6: there's only been sixteen of them since nineteen oh one. 2489 01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,800 Speaker 10: Well, we know a lot of times power usually isn't 2490 01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:01,400 Speaker 10: an issue for catchers. Most of the time it's speed. 2491 01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:03,880 Speaker 10: And I think what trips that catches up is getting 2492 01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:06,680 Speaker 10: that triple. I think I think that's what holds them 2493 01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:08,599 Speaker 10: up a lot of times, from getting that from hitting 2494 01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:10,920 Speaker 10: that cycles and being able to get on their high 2495 01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:12,080 Speaker 10: horse and get that triple. 2496 01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:15,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, that too, And plus depending on what ballpark you're in, 2497 01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:18,639 Speaker 3: you got to have real, real wheels to get a triple, 2498 01:52:18,800 --> 01:52:22,360 Speaker 3: you know, depending on otherwise sometimes in the worst case, 2499 01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:24,599 Speaker 3: you're out there left field or kicks the ball. 2500 01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:27,840 Speaker 5: Off the wall and yeah, it gets away from you 2501 01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:29,360 Speaker 5: type deal. DEMARJ. 2502 01:52:31,240 --> 01:52:32,920 Speaker 3: Now, I know you don't really have your power five 2503 01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:36,479 Speaker 3: teams here. I want to know what five teams are 2504 01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:39,280 Speaker 3: you expecting that potentially could make a move up the 2505 01:52:39,360 --> 01:52:41,920 Speaker 3: standings right now as we're at this point in the season. 2506 01:52:43,760 --> 01:52:46,360 Speaker 10: I love what the Cincinnati resid doing. I know that division, 2507 01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,519 Speaker 10: I love them, I know, but I love what they're building. 2508 01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:52,360 Speaker 10: They're balling right now. They're aggressive on the bases, they 2509 01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:55,679 Speaker 10: can score, they can get. They're supposed to get Ladolo back, 2510 01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:58,640 Speaker 10: I think sometime around August. I think it is so 2511 01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:01,320 Speaker 10: they can get him back. With the way hundred greens pitching. 2512 01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:03,559 Speaker 10: I know it wasn't his best outing today, but they 2513 01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:06,640 Speaker 10: still got the dub. I love what they're doing. Diamondbacks. 2514 01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:08,280 Speaker 10: I mean, they've been the team to look out for 2515 01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:10,439 Speaker 10: for a little bit now, but hey, even when the 2516 01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:13,120 Speaker 10: Dodgers get that rotation healthy, I still think the Diamondbacks 2517 01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,439 Speaker 10: might run away with this division. I love what I'm 2518 01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:17,560 Speaker 10: seeing from them as well. Another team who's aggressive on 2519 01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:20,280 Speaker 10: the basis. They one of the teams who strikes out 2520 01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:22,519 Speaker 10: the least. So you gotta love that. Top five in 2521 01:53:22,720 --> 01:53:26,280 Speaker 10: RBIs and then the Giants. Nobody's really talking about the Giants. 2522 01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:28,559 Speaker 10: They've been a sneaky team, eight and two in their 2523 01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,040 Speaker 10: last ten, won five in a row, got a real 2524 01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:34,360 Speaker 10: balanced lineup. They can score as well. Ninth and home 2525 01:53:34,439 --> 01:53:37,760 Speaker 10: runs ninth and runs KENFORDO. He's having a nice season. 2526 01:53:37,840 --> 01:53:41,080 Speaker 10: Nobody's really talking about him. Twelve homers, thirty six RBIs 2527 01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:44,080 Speaker 10: love what the Giants are doing in the Phillies. Phillies 2528 01:53:44,120 --> 01:53:45,960 Speaker 10: kind of got off to a rocky start, but as 2529 01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:47,920 Speaker 10: of late they've been hot. Eight and two in their 2530 01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:50,479 Speaker 10: last ten, won five in a row. They can score 2531 01:53:50,479 --> 01:53:52,720 Speaker 10: as well. Rotation has to get you know, get a 2532 01:53:52,720 --> 01:53:55,040 Speaker 10: little healthy and get some things in order. But and 2533 01:53:55,120 --> 01:53:57,720 Speaker 10: then I gotta take the best for last. Anaheim Angels, Baby, 2534 01:53:59,240 --> 01:54:01,840 Speaker 10: you're not doing that. Last seven and three in their 2535 01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:04,040 Speaker 10: last ten. One of the best offenses in the game. 2536 01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:04,639 Speaker 10: That's a given. 2537 01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:05,080 Speaker 5: We can hit. 2538 01:54:05,200 --> 01:54:08,800 Speaker 10: We could score ghet Rbi Zack Netto baller shout out 2539 01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:11,519 Speaker 10: to Netto. And we finally brought up Jordill. Hopefully we 2540 01:54:11,560 --> 01:54:13,519 Speaker 10: can keep them up this time. It seems every time 2541 01:54:13,560 --> 01:54:15,120 Speaker 10: he hits a little rough pass they want to send 2542 01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:17,080 Speaker 10: him back down. But let him play through it, man, 2543 01:54:17,160 --> 01:54:19,280 Speaker 10: let him get a groove and and then see what 2544 01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:21,080 Speaker 10: we can do. Finally got some youth up there, so 2545 01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:22,479 Speaker 10: that'll be my power fire. 2546 01:54:23,120 --> 01:54:26,519 Speaker 3: You know what, man, we we we relax a little bit. Arlington. 2547 01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:28,040 Speaker 6: We let you take three out of four now, and 2548 01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:30,400 Speaker 6: now you guys just think you're all that, Like, come on, man, 2549 01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:31,880 Speaker 6: you're still four and a half games back. 2550 01:54:32,000 --> 01:54:32,240 Speaker 3: Listen. 2551 01:54:32,320 --> 01:54:33,400 Speaker 6: I want to throw a team at you that I 2552 01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:35,440 Speaker 6: don't think we've ever talked about here and Martin, no, 2553 01:54:35,520 --> 01:54:36,920 Speaker 6: he won't admit it, but I will. I like going 2554 01:54:36,960 --> 01:54:39,000 Speaker 6: against this guy. That's what sports radio is about. Some time, 2555 01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:40,400 Speaker 6: when you gotta tand him. I want to go against 2556 01:54:40,440 --> 01:54:40,640 Speaker 6: this guy. 2557 01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:43,200 Speaker 3: So he's saying the Cincinnati Rads, I'm saying the Brewer 2558 01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:44,839 Speaker 3: crew is gonna win the Central. 2559 01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:47,280 Speaker 6: Talk to me about the Brewers and how they're gonna 2560 01:54:47,320 --> 01:54:49,960 Speaker 6: hold on and win this division. So in September I 2561 01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:52,000 Speaker 6: can look at Martin and say, what happened to those Reds? 2562 01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:56,920 Speaker 10: I don't like the Brewers. They haven't They haven't really 2563 01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:58,760 Speaker 10: grabbed a hold of that division. They should have been 2564 01:54:58,800 --> 01:55:01,760 Speaker 10: able to by now. The fact that the Reds are 2565 01:55:01,800 --> 01:55:04,880 Speaker 10: where they are, excuse me. I just think it's wide open. 2566 01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:07,040 Speaker 10: I just think the Reds are super talented. I think 2567 01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:10,320 Speaker 10: those young guys they're playing free, no pressure, They're already 2568 01:55:10,400 --> 01:55:13,560 Speaker 10: exceeding expectations. No matter what that division looks like, they're 2569 01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:16,560 Speaker 10: already exceeding expectation, so I think just the fact they 2570 01:55:16,560 --> 01:55:18,920 Speaker 10: could go out there and play free man. The Brewers 2571 01:55:18,920 --> 01:55:21,560 Speaker 10: they kind of been slipping, so I don't really like 2572 01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:22,080 Speaker 10: the Bruis and. 2573 01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:25,280 Speaker 3: That appreciate you coming on, Damar J.
