00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: On this Monday, Best and Worst of the weekend, as

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: we always do. Operator Tyler is sitting by age seven

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: to seven. Three DP show stat of the Day always

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: brought to you Bob Benini America, the official trading cards

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: of the program WNBA on NBC in Peacock. August second

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Sparks Versus the Fire WNBA Live on NBC and Peacock.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: I did watch a lot of the All Star Weekend festivities.

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: I was waiting for something from the Commissioner State of

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 2: the Union address and it was a nothing burger, and

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: maybe that was by design. I'm guessing that was by design.

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: It was hoping for a little more transparency and it's

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: not going to happen. And then I watched the game

15
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: itself back and forth, and it felt like it was

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: NBA All Star Weekend without the dunking, although there was

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: one dunk in the game, but not everybody should be

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: shooting threes. And Caitlin Clark came down and I think

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: Paige Becker's is like, you're trying to be MVP, and

20
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: she hit three bombs and she's like, damn, But there

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: are some unbelievable shooters in the WNBA. Unbelievable. Uh, just

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: not everybody should be shooting threes. But you know, they

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: got a big stage there, and uh Marina Maybray, who

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: I thought was going to win the three point shooting contest,

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they were looking for her, and

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: she had like seventeen in the first half, and I

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: was hoping for Angel Rees to score a layup. I

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: think she tried and then it got blocked and then

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: that was pretty much it. But I think she got

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: her own Barbie. Didn't she get her own Barbie doll? Marvin?

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: Did you see that.

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 4: That I did in Soto social media?

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? Then she came dressed as Barbie, have the pink hair,

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, all right, yes, yes, Paul.

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 5: That Olivia Miles has some sauce in her game.

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 6: Oh.

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: I love watching her on the wash, her handle, her play.

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: I thought she was going to be the MVP. That

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: was my pick. I thought she going to have a

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: triple double. But you know, you just see somebody who

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: was meant to have a basketball in their hands. She's

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: one of those people, all right. Eight seven seven to

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: three DP show email addressed EPA Dan Patrick dot com

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: Twitter handle it dp show Dylan poll results from our

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: one and what's happening in hour two?

46
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 7: Well, Dan, now that the decision has been made, where

47
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 7: would you have gone? If you're a Lebron sixer's heat

48
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 7: and Cavaliers are Warriors. The Cavaliers are leading it slightly

49
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 7: at thirty ten percent.

50
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 2: Not with James Arden. Not with James Arden there now

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: if I want this story of him going back home

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: book ending his career, okay, And that's why I thought

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: it was going to be Cleveland all along. But this

54
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: was basketball. This wasn't about family, This wasn't about money.

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: This was about I got a chance to win a championship.

56
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Where's the best place in Philadelphia? Is the best place?

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: And you got Jalen Brown. Without Jalen Brown, I don't

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: think Lebron is going to Philadelphia. I think Lebron would

59
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: have gone to Cleveland and then maybe convinced Cleveland to

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: not resign James Harden. But if you see on the

61
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: big board that Rich Paul, Lebron's agent had diagrammed, he

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 2: looked at Cleveland. They wrote down the pluses and minuses.

63
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: Without Darius Garland, there was a minus there. So a

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: negative of not having Darius Garland, who I think is

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: you know, he's what ten ten years at least ten

66
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: years younger than James Harden and you sent him to

67
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: the Clippers. We had a call at the end of

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: last hour Colin in New York who couldn't understand why

69
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: I said the Celtics had a salary dump with Jalen

70
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: Brown when they sent him to Philadelphia. The motivation was

71
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: escaping the financial constraints of a Supermax contract, so he

72
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: carried an enormous cap hit. He got a five year,

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: three hundred million dollar contract keeping Brown and Tatum in

74
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: Boston that would have committed roughly seventy two percent of

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: their salary cap to two players. Also the second Apron

76
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: situations as well. Now it's not a traditional salary dump

77
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: because you do pick up Paul George fifty four million

78
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: dollar contract, But I'm locked into Jalen Brown for three years,

79
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: and if I'm trading for him, I'm not going to

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: let him go, so I'm going to lock him in

81
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: even longer. So the Sixers are taking Jalen Brown knowing

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: what they're going to get and what it's going to

83
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: cost them. Boston needed to get out from underneath that.

84
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: For whatever reason, Brad Stevens fed the media. You get

85
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: Paul George. You got Paul George for one more year.

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: I would be surprised unless he had one of those

87
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 2: magical seasons where you would want to re up him

88
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: and give him, you know, fifty to sixty million dollars.

89
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: That's why I said it was a salary dump. And

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: even the articles that I have here say many analysts

91
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: and media figures labeled Brown's blockbuster trade a salary dump.

92
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: So that's why I said him all righty.

93
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: Best and Worst of the weekend eight seven to seven

94
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: three DP show, New Pole question for hour two.

95
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 7: Doing Yeah, we got some more Lebron stuff if we want.

96
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 7: How much do you think Lebron helps Philly's title chances?

97
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 7: A lot, a little or not really.

98
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: A lot a lot. Yeah, Look, I'm all in on it.

99
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: I know it'll though, don't have growing pains and trying

100
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: to figure things out, same thing Lebron had with Luca

101
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: and Austin Reeves, like he had to kind of come

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: to the grips of damn, it's right in front of

103
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: me and I'm not the lead option, maybe not the

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: number two option. And going to Philadelphia. He already knows that, Like,

105
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: this is Tyree's Maxi's team. Now you bring Jalen Brown in. Okay,

106
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: Now it's up to Lebron to be sort of the

107
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a field general. What do you need

108
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: me to do? How do I take advantage of these skills?

109
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: How do I help them help us? Maxi's a young player,

110
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: but he's great vj Edgecombe. Now you bring in Brown.

111
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: I still have to satisfy Joel Embiid, but hopefully Embiid

112
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: and he might be a twenty five minute guy a night,

113
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: not back to back games.

114
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: But I want him ready for May and June. That's it.

115
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: I want Lebron ready for May and June.

116
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: I don't care what their regular season record, because you

117
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: know what, most of you can't tell me how many

118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: wins the Knicks had during the regular season. Marvin probably

119
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: knows fifty three, Okay, I thought it was fifty three

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: or fifty four. It was how they were playing. At

121
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: the end of the year. There was a report that Lebron,

122
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: or at least his agent, reached out to the Knicks

123
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: and the Knicks said no, and rightfully so.

124
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: Now if the Knicks didn't win the title.

125
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: Now we got a story because I think they would

126
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: have gone in on Giannis and if they didn't get Jannis,

127
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 2: maybe they would have entertained Lebron. Maybe, but this is

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: a team you love. You don't want Lebron. We did this,

129
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: We did this in a in a unique way. Nobody

130
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: can follow our blueprint. You don't want to bring in Lebron.

131
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: I mean, great story, I'd love it, all right. A

132
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: couple of phone calls in here by the way Baseball

133
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame weekend, and I don't I don't want

134
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: to slight baseball, but this is just or the you know,

135
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: the guys who went in, you know, Andrew Jones, Jeff Kent,

136
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: Carlos Beltron. Okay, good players now Hall of Fame players,

137
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: but we might be getting some of these classes.

138
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: Like next year.

139
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, Jimmy Rollins going in, Dustin Pedroia going in,

140
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,119
Speaker 2: Chase Uttley going in. So we're gonna have players of

141
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: this stature. And Jeff Kent went in, probably because he

142
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: hit more home runs as a second basement than anybody

143
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: in history. I don't know if that's why you should

144
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: go in, but I think he had three hundred and

145
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: fifty five home runs. It's his second basement. You know,

146
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: people can argue, now he got lost when you know

147
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 2: he's playing with bonds, but he benefited from bonds. And

148
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: wasn't it Kent and David Cone in the Ricky Henderson

149
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: deal to Toronto?

150
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: Does that sound right? Hold?

151
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 5: Please, I'm gonna give you points if you get this one.

152
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 8: Okay.

153
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: I don't know why.

154
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: I just came into my head that one of the

155
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: great deals the Mets. Was it Jeff Kent and David Cohne?

156
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: And was Ricky Henderson involved in that?

157
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul August ninety two, Jeff Kent traded by the

158
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: Blue Jays with a player to be named later to

159
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: the Mets for David Cohne. Yeah, I don't see Ricky

160
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: in that trade, but it may not be complete.

161
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, that turned out to be a great trade

162
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: for both. But you know, Jeff Kent David I knew

163
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: they were involved in a trade. But but yeah, All

164
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: Star NBA All Star weekend, you had the Hall of

165
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: Fame weekend, you had the fun weekend for Philadelphia fans.

166
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: This is gonna be like the Knicks fans in July

167
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: June everybody was a Knicks fan, and you're gonna have

168
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,959

171
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: The ticket prices for opening night, which I'm assuming would

172
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 4: be six or that Knicks, will it be as expensive

173
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: as an NBA Finals game?

174
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: M I don't know, like secondary marked. I don't think so.

175
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a curiosity. But you're also getting

176
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: but your your rings that night, banner, that's a big deal.

177

180
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: not Nicks band.

181
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 3: Travis better not be there.

182
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: He's got other things to do.

183
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, he's got football.

184
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 9: Uh.

185
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes has been cleared. I don't know what that means.

186
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: He's been cleared to practice. Okay, can he get tackled?

187
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: Could he play this weekend if there was a game.

188
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: Here's Mahomes on his strategy for this upcoming season.

189
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 10: I'll plan to be able to do everything I did before.

190
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 10: It's I've been moving around and doing that stuff. But

191
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 10: I'm gonna obviously try to take care of myself a

192
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 10: little better than I did last season. I think I

193
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 10: ran a little bit too much last season in general,

194
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 10: So I'll try to be better with that. And then

195
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 10: if in all those fellas, just give it to Canaan

196
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 10: and let him just go out there and work.

197
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker Todd, you're working on your Mahomes impersonation, and

198
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: we'll see.

199
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 8: What's happening week when we got the Broncos.

200
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 11: I'm really shooting for that one. I think I'll be

201
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 11: ready by week one.

202
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: That's why we don't get Mahomes on the show.

203
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 9: That's probably.

204
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm okay with it, just so you

205
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,359
Speaker 2: get to do your impersonata.

206
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 11: You take them over for the team there.

207
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 2: Like we don't get Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan will

208
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: never get that.

209
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 8: All about the bad impersonation getting the guests.

210
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: Yes, David in Ohio, Hi David, how are you.

Speaker 13: I got a best and worst of the weekend. Best

216
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 13: Joey Voto on the Yankee Phillies broadcast last night. Great

217
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 13: content from Bado, also seeing Joe Girardi in the booth.

218
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 13: Worst of the weekend Tony Romo allegedly getting arrested for

219
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 13: drunk driving and I here allegedly he had thirty beers,

220
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 13: one for every year of the Cowboys having gone without

221
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 13: winning a Super Bowl. Wow persistent in San Francisco. Dand

222
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 13: Tony Rama getting arrested.

223
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: Not good, thank you, David. Yeah, mugshot not good. And

224
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: it's o W I operating up? What is operating wall

225
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: under the influence?

226
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, operating while intoxicated, operating whilst under the influence.

227
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, now, just thankfully nobody was hurt in a

228
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: situation like that.

229
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: Sean and Indy. Hi, Sean, what do you have for

230
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: me today?

231
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 8: Good morning, Dan.

232
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 9: I got a worse than a best in a comment

233
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 9: about Lebron James. Worse of the weekend was my son

234
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 9: in his basketball game. Uh, dislocated and broke and broke

235
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 9: his finger. Best is he popped it back in and

236
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 9: win and played. That's pretty problem for that. Uh and

237
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 9: uh and uh. The thing about on is I soon

238
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 9: remember like Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Gary Payton. Like

239
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 9: Charles Barkley going to the Rockets at the end of

240
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 9: his career to a loaded team Carmelone and Gary Payton

241
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 9: going to the Lakers unloaded team. I don't think this

242
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 9: is so much Lebron going to a loaded team, because

243
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 9: there's a lot of loaded teams. I think it's more

244
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 9: just he has had a lull in his career and

245
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 9: he just wanted.

246
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 8: To end it on a high note.

247
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 9: And he knows he's not going to be a huge contributor,

248
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 9: but he just wanted to end on you.

249
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 8: Know that that top, that mountain top.

250
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,479
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm fine with what he did. He's chasing championships.

251
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I would be too. The Lakers didn't want him back.

252
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 2: The Lakers wanted a fresh start. He has a chance

253
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: to go anywhere is he supposed to go?

254
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: I don't know.

255
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: Fade off into the sunset. He went to a place

256
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: he's never been before, and everybody is looking at that

257
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 2: team now is maybe the favorite or co favorites in

258
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: the East. Degree of dificulty ratching it up. He wasn't

259
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: afraid of it, going after it, and there's going to

260
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: be a lot of them. I told you so well,

261
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: I told you so, don't do I told you so

262
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: to me after week one or week two, or if

263
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: you want to stay with it, let me.

264
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 3: You can come back to me in April. And as

265
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: long as.

266
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: They're healthy, Philadelphia is going to be there playing for

267
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: the NBA championship.

268
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: In my opinion, yes, Mark.

269
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 4: So going back, so so Buddha and San Francisco. He

270
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: talked about getting from underneath Lebron's shadow as a Lakers fan.

271
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: Before Lebron got there, they had the worst five year

272
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 4: stretch in the history of the Lakers. He didn't go

273
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 4: to some loaded team. He went to a team that

274
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: was sorry. The last year Kobe Wrant they won seventeen games.

275
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: They didn't make the playoffs the previous five years. Then

276
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 4: Lebron gets there, and then they trade for Anthony Davis

277
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 4: and then they win a championship in the bubble. I know, people, oh,

278
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: Bubba doesn't count. They had the best record in the

279
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: NBA when the pandemic started.

280
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: It sounded like Lebron stacked the team. You know, they

281
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: happened to take advantage of the Dallas Mavericks with Luca

282
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves wasn't even drafted. It sounds like, you go, boy,

283
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: we got this guy and this guy already there, and

284
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go there and I'm gonna bring in my

285
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: buddy Anthony Davis. And yeah, they did bring in Anthony Davis,

286
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 2: and they did win a title in the bubble.

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: And you're right, they had.

288
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: A swan song farewell tour for Kobe And I don't

289
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: think anybody was that concerned of how many wins do

290
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: you have? Then all of a sudden, you know, Lebron's chasing.

291
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: Lebron built and his star power rebuilt the Cavaliers. If

292
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: you say, well they were loaded, well, they drafted Kyrie

293
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: and they brought it. He brought in Kevin Love. Well,

294
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody went, oh my god, they

295
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: got Kevin Love. They're going to win the title. Kevin

296
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: Love became a great role player for them. But I

297
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: don't know if you went, He's going to a loaded

298
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: team Miami. He built that team with the help of

299
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: pat Riley and Dwayne Wade.

300
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mark, and people are talking about, oh, Lebron joined

301
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 4: super teams. Lebron puts the super in super teams. You

302
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 4: take him off of those teams, they were just run

303
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: of the mill teams.

304
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 9: Yeah.

305
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 5: Pull one thing you mentioned about Week one reaction with

306
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 5: the seventy six ers if they go three and three.

307
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 5: I went back and looked Lebron's first month with a

308
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 5: Heat when they joined that team. They started out five

309
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 5: and four, and I actually found some rundowns from our

310
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 5: show where people are just killing them. Month two they

311
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 5: were eighteen and two. They won eighteen games and lost too.

312
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 5: They really picked it up.

Speaker 2: Jacob Break, We'll come back, Dan Waking, he covers the

314
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: Lakers for the Athletic how's this going over in Laker Bill, Lakertown,

315
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: Laker Nation.

316
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 3: We'll find out next year, Dan Patrick Show.

317
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

320
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 14: Hey, we're Covino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day five.

321
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: To seven pm Eastern.

322
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 14: But here's the thing, we never have enough time to

323
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 14: get to everything we want to get to.

324
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 15: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

325
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 15: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

326
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 15: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

327
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 15: because this guy is over promising things we never have

328
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 15: time for.

329
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you blubber list lame and me.

330
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 14: Well, you know what, it's called over promise. You should

331
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 14: be good at it because you've been over promising women

332
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 14: for years.

333
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 15: Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show, and we

334
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 15: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

335
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 15: be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

336
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 15: life and relationships. And if Rich and I are arguing

337
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 15: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will

338
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 15: continue on our after show called over Promised.

339
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 14: Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make

340
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 14: sure you check out over Promised and also uncensored by

341
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 14: the way, so maybe we'll go at it even.

342
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 3: A little harder.

343
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 14: It's gonna be the best after show podcast.

344
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: Of all time.

345
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 15: There you go, over Promising, and remember you could see

346
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,280

Speaker 15: wherever you get your podcasts.

349
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 2: Talk to the former NBA great Jim Jackson. He'll join

350
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 2: us in an hour from now. Dan Witk covers the

351
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: Lakers for The Athletic and he joins us on the program.

352
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 3: Great to see you again.

353
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: If I ask you a week ago where you thought

354
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 2: Lebron was going to go you would have said.

355
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 12: I think I would have said Cleveland out loud, but

356
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 12: deep down thought it was Miami.

357
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 8: If that makes sense.

358
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 12: That there was a lot of evidence, Well it wasn't

359
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 12: good evidence that was like there was some momentum building

360
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 12: to the heat that they were maybe the most confident,

361
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 12: certainly outwardly confident team in this mix. But I think

362
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 12: I would say Cleveland because that's what I always thought, right,

363
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 12: Like I was wrong. The thing that I thought that

364
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 12: mattered to him most, right was this narrative, this story

365
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 12: that he's built for himself in a career. And I

366
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 12: misread it, Dan in that way, because that was not

367
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 12: the most important thing, because you went to a place that,

368
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 12: quite frankly, I think puts the most pressure on.

369
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 8: Him out of any of the available options.

370
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 12: And would potentially like offers like the Jordan Wizard's potential

371
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 12: more so than like any of these other places, If

372
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 12: that makes sense.

373
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: Dan Well, I thought Mike went to the Wizards because

374
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: he wanted to be a part owner.

375
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: I think that for sure.

376
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 8: Yeah.

377
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 12: I think the better example, right is, like you know,

378
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 12: we've seen Lebron James in three jerseys, right, and that

379
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 12: whenever we watch highlights of him in the future. Like,

380
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 12: you know, there are questions about, like I've talked to

381
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,479
Speaker 12: Lebron about this. We've had conversations about like you know,

382
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 12: the Elijah and Raptors spint and like he's not at

383
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 12: that stage in his career right or anything like that.

384
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 12: But like I did think that like maybe part of

385
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 12: this was like not introducing like another city, another character

386
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 12: and different things like that. But but Dan, people, I

387
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 12: won't believe this like one, Like, I don't think he

388
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 12: spends a lot of time thinking about legacy anymore. I

389
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 12: just I think, you know, they're a stretch in his

390
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 12: career where it was very important to him, and I.

391
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 8: Think it is.

392
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 12: I just think he knows that nothing he can do

393
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 12: will change the Jordan people's minds, and quite frankly, nothing

394
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 12: he'll do we'll change his fans minds. Like so it's

395
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 12: like this feels very much just for him.

396
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 3: Help me understand this.

397
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: Was it the Laker fans or Kobe fans that maybe

398
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: didn't welcome Lebron with open arms.

399
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 8: I think they welcomed him.

400
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 12: I think it was always just like a little strange, right,

401
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 12: you have these two massive brands right, like because you know,

402
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 12: you do have Laker fans and then Lebron fans, and

403
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 12: Lebron fans are almost its own entity. Like when I

404
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 12: covered the Chargers years ago, Derwin James was in the

405
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 12: back of the room. Then the day after he had

406
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 12: gotten drafted, I think he was there to watch the

407
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 12: second round picks press conference and he's doing like the

408
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 12: basketball like shooting thing, and it's like, I'm gonna go

409
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 12: and gratiate myself until Durwan I used to cover the

410
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 12: NBA and I was like Durwan dan Wykey whatever. I

411
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 12: used to cover the Clippers, like who's your favorite NBA team?

412
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 12: And he like didn't blink and he's like, oh, Lebron

413
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 12: James is my favorite NBA team, was like basically, And

414
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 12: I think so there was always like some unease and

415
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 12: that stuff. But I mean, look, if you're Lebron, I

416
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 12: mean you knew you were never going to be loved

417
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 12: the way that that city and that fan base love

418
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 12: Kobe Bryant and and that's okay, but I think like, yeah,

419
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 12: I made for some like some pretty awkward Twitter moments

420
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 12: like between fan bases and and there was I think

421
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 12: at times, like you know, there are certain people again

422
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 12: to the point and about legacy, there's certain people that

423
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 12: will just like never forgive him for the decision.

424
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 8: Yeah too, write like my wife is one of those.

425
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 2: People, forget like the five years prior to Lebron getting there,

426
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: Like hell, he should forget it.

427
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 8: Trying to do whatever they can if they remember it.

428
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 12: Yeah, one hundred percent, Like this isn't like I mean,

429
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 12: he saved that franchise, right and gave them a new

430
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 12: sense of legitimacy, a new sense of purpose, certainly shotgunned

431
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 12: any trip into contendership, right, Like you can look at

432
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 12: like Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart and a Vitza Zubots

433
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 12: and you know, Kyle Kuzma Lonzo Ball, and you can

434
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 12: dream on some imaginary championship that would have come in

435
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 12: twenty twenty nine or something like that. But look, I mean,

436
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 12: Lebron picking the Lakers put them back in this position

437
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 12: and it caused some real awkwardness along the way to Dan.

438
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 12: Building around an aging superstar is a very unpleasant position

439
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 12: in the NBA. And I think if you talk to

440
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 12: anybody in San Francisco, this is going to be a conversation.

441
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 12: It's hard, it's hard to know what to what not,

442
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 12: you know, what not to put on the table in trades.

443
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 12: But like I mean, anybody who tells you that Lebron's

444
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 12: stint with the Lakers like didn't help the Lakers isn't

445
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 12: paying attention.

446
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: But could he have stayed? Was there any scenario where

447
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: he would have stayed with the Lakers?

448
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 12: I don't think that. I mean, I don't think so.

449
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 12: I just don't think so. I think it had run

450
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 12: its scores. You know, it's been termed to me is

451
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 12: a very mutual breakup. I know from the Lakers standpoint,

452
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 12: like not being involved in these last twenty eight days

453
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 12: has been like a nice like sigh of relief for

454
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 12: them in some ways. But look, I think like they're

455
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 12: gonna miss the player. They should absolutely miss the Encourt player.

456
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 12: I do think though that like eight years with the

457
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 12: most scrutinized, most talked about, you know, biggest main character

458
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 12: in the league. Like it, it has costs and it

459
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 12: can be a little tiring, It can be a little exhausting,

460
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 12: and I think Lebron also too. Dan was a guy

461
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 12: that was very open to the possibility of new challenges.

462
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 2: Dan Wyke covers the Lakers for the athletic How does

463
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: this not work out in Philadelphia?

464
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 12: I mean, I think the most obvious one, right is like,

465
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 12: you know, where are they at with Joel Embiid and

466
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 12: Joel and Beat's health? Right, Like that's the biggest part

467
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 12: of this and also maybe the riskiest bet.

468
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 8: Right.

469
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 12: So there's that I do think, you know, and you

470
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 12: guys are smart to bring it up like this is

471
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 12: going to take a little time. When you put really

472
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 12: really talented, you know, ball in hand basketball players together,

473
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 12: there's awkwardness, slow starts are you should probably expect some

474
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 12: version of a slow start.

475
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 8: Very rarely do.

476
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 12: You roll the ball out for one of these teams

477
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 12: and say, all right, now they're great, Like it takes

478
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 12: a little time. A Lebron James team in year twenty

479
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 12: four doesn't get a lot.

480
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 8: Of on court practice time together. You don't get a

481
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 8: lot of shoot around time together.

482
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 12: Because you have a forty two year old that you're

483
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 12: trying to monitor time in minnesot it's all gonna happen

484
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 12: on the court. But look, every scout I talked to,

485
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 12: every exact guy talk to, always says the same thing.

486
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 8: But on talent, but on brains, you know, you know

487
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 8: they'll figure it out.

488
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 2: Go back to what you just said, they didn't have

489
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: typical normal NBA shoot a rounds because they're managing Lebron.

490
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 12: Yeah, No, I mean I think, yeah, I like it's

491
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 12: just the reality of like part of this being in

492
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 12: this business with him, right, is that you have to

493
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 12: prioritize his health and you can do things with the

494
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 12: rest of your team and different things like that.

495
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 8: And like for the Lakers, it wasn't a huge problem.

496
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 12: Like I don't think that like had they practiced more,

497
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 12: would they have beaten the Oklahoma City Thunder Like No,

498
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 12: I don't think that matters. But I think, like it's

499
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 12: just one of the things you do, Like that's how

500
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 12: you manage, you know, a player this deep into his career.

501
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 8: You have to write like it is a It's one of.

502
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 12: The things I mean as we think about like why

503
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 12: he picked Philly, and I know people might be like

504
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 12: kind of over that part of this, but that's the

505
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 12: thing I keep coming back to Dan is like like

506
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 12: he needs a reason, right. Like I was talking to

507
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 12: a GM yesterday and we were talking about the movie

508
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 12: Free Solo, right with the guy who climbs mountains without

509
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 12: without a rope, and it's like, well, like, why would

510
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 12: you ever climb a mountain without a rope? It's because

511
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 12: the only way you can feel the challenge. And I

512
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 12: think this is kind of like a free solo type

513
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 12: move for him, right Like he could have done safer

514
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 12: things other places, but to put in the necessary physical

515
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 12: and mental work it takes to be good at this age,

516
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 12: right Like, I mean, I just saw he posted he's

517
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 12: up at four thirty in the morning, right like, he's going.

518
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 8: To go work out.

519
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 12: They'll be recovery after that, They'll be dietary sacrifices, I'll

520
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 12: be all this stuff that it takes just to get

521
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 12: him ready to try and play in October. If you

522
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 12: have a net, and he had a net in La

523
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 12: right like, it is safe there, Miami would have been

524
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 12: safe enough, Cleveland certainly would have been safe. Philly like

525
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 12: go go go, not have a great month of Hilly

526
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 12: and let's see what happens, right And I think he

527
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 12: needs that, and I think that's really attractive to him

528
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 12: in this process.

529
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 2: I it's weird what I thought of when Lebron went

530
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: to Philly, and I'm thinking, if Jalen Brown's not there,

531
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: Lebron's not going to Philly.

532
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 8: Am I correct?

533
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 2: But I couldn't help but think the Rams went all

534
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: in on Miles Garrett. And I'm thinking, if I make

535
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: something like a move like that, can I entice Aaron

536
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 2: Donald to come out of retirement?

537
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 3: Like moves that lead to other moves.

538
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 2: And that was the thing that I thought of, is

539
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: you know Aaron Donald doesn't want to go back, and like,

540
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 2: I have to take on the entire offensive line. Now

541
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: I got Miles, this might actually be fun. Lebron going damn.

542
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 2: I got Jaylen Brown, I got maxi Edgecumbe, and I

543
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 2: got a minutes restricted Joel Embiid. I got a coach

544
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: who's won an NBA title. I got to get by

545
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: the Knicks. I kind of like this, like I can

546
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 2: have a lot of fun and try to win another championship.

547
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I think funds an important word again. Now,

548
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 12: this is a guy who's done it, done everything, seen

549
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 12: everything right in twenty three seasons. I mean he's played

550
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 12: literally more basketball, more NBA basketball games, minutes, regular season

551
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 12: playoffs than anybody else, right, So the stimulus is really important.

552
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 12: I don't think he's on the sixers without Jalen Brown,

553
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 12: the people that I've spoken to that are very close

554
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 12: to Lebron, that are in the circle or around the circle.

555
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 9: You know.

556
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 12: I have said as much that like the love that

557
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 12: Jalen Bron went to Philadelphia was a very big deal

558
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 12: in this right and I think because it gives him

559
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 12: a credible, like a really really credible chance. Now do

560
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 12: I think that like on you know, June first, as

561
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 12: Lebron is like figuring out what it is he wants

562
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 12: to do. Do I think he's putting word out to

563
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 12: Philadelphia like go get Jalen Brown and I'll come. No,

564
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 12: I don't think so at all. I think it's more

565
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 12: like but and I don't even think Philly was like,

566
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 12: oh that's go get Lebron.

567
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 8: I know it can do it. We can trade for

568
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 8: Jaylen Brown. I don't even think of what like that, Yeah, right,

569
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 8: Like I do.

570
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 12: I do think though, that by putting the pieces in play,

571
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 12: by being aggressive, by showing the league that like you're

572
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 12: serious about like going for it, you don't care about

573
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 12: the narratives, you don't care about any of that stuff

574
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 12: that's out there, that you see an opportunity when you're

575
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 12: going to be aggressive and going doing that. That is

576
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 12: absolutely appealing to Lebron because a big part of his

577
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 12: Lakers tenure was marked by that lack of aggressiveness, right,

578
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 12: I mean we you can remember what he posted about

579
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 12: let's need and let's needs draft picks thoughts, right, like,

580
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 12: like there was a very specific letter that Lebron liked

581
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 12: in front of those picks, and and I think you know,

582
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 12: Philly is not in any but like they are going

583
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 12: right now, and I think that's appealing to him too.

584
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: I think it's awesome.

585
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure out what the Celtics did.

586
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: I any other option Dan to trade Jalen Brown to

587
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: like the West Coast or Phoenix is always willing to

588
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: take on I mean somebody.

589
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, Yeah, it's a really good question, right, Like you

590
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 12: wonder about a team like the Clippers, like would the Clippers.

591
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 8: Have gotten involved?

592
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 12: Like you know, I hadn't heard anything that was like

593
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 12: other than just sort of like idle speculation. The general sense,

594
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 12: right is that they moved too quickly. I could not

595
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 12: be geographically further from the Celtics, so I don't know

596
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 12: what it's like every day to be around in that situation.

597
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 12: They obviously felt like they had to do something and

598
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 12: it was really really drastic, and I think, right like,

599
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 12: if they knew the ripples of this, would they have

600
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 12: still done it. It's a pretty interesting question to me.

601
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 12: I think the answer is probably no, Like yeah, like

602
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 12: I mean, maybe maybe you trade them to a place

603
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 12: where know Lebron will go, maybe Jaylen Brown's on the

604
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 12: Memphis Grizzlies.

605
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 8: Something like that. No.

606
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 12: No, But every time I made that joke down anybody

607
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 12: in Memphis, they say, are tell us maybe not.

608
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 8: So great that we have. We do have wonderful houses.

609
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you. Your dog obviously not impressed

610
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: with you being on TV.

611
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 12: I'm very happy he did not bark. I'm very happy

612
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 12: he did not scratch. Yes, this is like what typically

613
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 12: happens when you listen to me for twenty minutes blather

614
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 12: what's his name? Mister b Arthur, mister golden guy. He's

615
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 12: our golden Oh not a golden girl. Okay, wow, he.

616
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 8: Was supposed to be be Arthur, but they were out of.

617
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: Look, mister b Arthur, come here.

618
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:35,480

Speaker 2: with hospital police report that it would have gotten out.

706

Speaker 2: on his toe tippy toes, so both heels are off

716

Speaker 2: the ground. One foot might be off the ground, I

717

734
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,799

735

Speaker 2: I mean, I mean she social media wise, she's not

741
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 2: a great basketball player. We've talked about it. She she

742
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 2: knows what she's doing. I mean, she's running a business.

743
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 2: She's in the business of Angel Reese and she's done

744
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 2: a wonderful job.

745
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 8: Yeah.

746
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: Mark, do you think she's kind of in that Odell

747
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: Beckham category where she did something great at one point

748
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: in time, but now it's just the name is more

749
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 4: important than the actual game.

750
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

751
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: I mean she's a solid player. You know, you want

752
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 2: rebounds and you know some layups. She's really good at that.

753
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 2: She plays hard. I just I don't think she's a

754
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 2: great player, but I think at marketing, I think she's incredible.

755
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 7: Yes, Doling, she play as hard as like the they

756
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 7: mean well of compliments where it's like not really producing much, but.

757
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 8: You play her.

758
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: No, she does produce, and she'll give you ten and

759
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: ten every night.

760
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,359
