WEBVTT - HOUR 2- Tom Verducci Oct 16, 2020 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.160 Sports Radio. Nick Saban still wants to coach. We'll hear 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.040 from coach. He's trying to get into the building for 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.080 that showdown. With Georgia coming up this weekend, We'll check 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.120 in with Tom Verducci. Tom was there when the Braves 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.600 rolled the Dodgers ten to two. They're up three games 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:20.919 to one. The Astros stay alive. They beat the race 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:25.079 four to three. You got big games coming up this weekend. 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:29.560 Baseball coming up tonight Georgia, Alabama this weekend Packers and 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.600 the Buccaneers eight seven seven three D P show Email 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.159 address DP at dan Patrick dot com twitterhead to a 0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.919 DP show. But I begin this hour with just the possibility, 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:45.400 just the possibility that Lebron James understands standing Pat keeping 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.760 the roster they have is not going to be good 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.159 enough for the Lakers to try to repeat next year. 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.920 So follow me on this. Anthony Davis is going to 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:55.800 opt out and then he's going to come back in 0:00:56.000 --> 0:01:00.320 and probably get two hundred and forty million dollars over 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.120 five years. But then you start to look at the roster. 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.680 Ty Lou's taking over the Clippers, the Clippers are going 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.080 to be better. I think, maybe more cohesive from the 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.480 standpoint of you're going to be out of the bubble. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.520 Tylu knows the team. He's being brought in to help 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:19.440 with chemistry, and really you start with Kawhi Leonard. The 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.920 published reports about Kawhi Leonard is he's not a great 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.960 teammate and was kind of on his own late for planes, 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.280 you know, he was kind of on his own time frame. 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.560 You couldn't take him out unless he wanted to come out. 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.200 There was also games that he would set out load 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.880 management here, So ty Lou's got to go in and 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.520 clean up a little bit of a mess. And you 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.040 got Paul George situation, what do you do with the roster? 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.440 And I look at Denver. Denver is not going to 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.080 get worse. They're probably going to be better. Portland, if 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:51.840 they're healthy, they're going to be better. I don't know 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:53.960 what's going to happen with the Rockets some of these 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.160 other teams. Golden State to me is the team to 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.600 beat going into next year, believe it or not. I 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.960 just think if everybody's back, why would I not know? 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.080 Why would I go against Golden State given their track record? There, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.000 and I think Lebron is looking at this, and that's 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.400 why Lebron is looking at the following. He is setting 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:18.840 his sights on Chris Paul. NBA executive said that wouldn't 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.079 be surprised if they tried to zero in and get 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.560 Chris Paul to the Lakers. I don't know what you 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:25.240 have to give up, but you're gonna have to give 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.560 up some players. I don't know if Oklahoma City is 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.760 going to give him up, but it feels like the 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:33.800 Bucks and Knicks are interested in Chris Paul, so at 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:38.000 least they're maybe listening to some offers. You know, La 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.320 has a draft pick, a first round pick, but you're 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.200 gonna have to give up quite a few players on 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.919 the roster to be able to fit him in salary wise. There. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.480 I just don't think Lebron James is going to go 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.440 you know, I'm good with this roster going into next season. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:57.000 I would think that Tristan Thompson might be somebody that 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.160 they would look out. Believe it or not. Wow, Yeah, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:04.480 So I think that there's possibilities of the Lakers adding somebody. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.400 The question is what do you give up to get 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.160 Chris Paul? And then how else do you fill out 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.920 your roster here, because you know, you got to have 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.519 depth here, and they would lose significant depth if they're 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.400 trading some of these players to Oklahoma City. But this 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.959 is just a possibility. DeMarcus Cousins is still out there. 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.000 I don't know if he still has legal issues. But 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.880 Lebron James is he knows that the window is now 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.120 and if he can bring in a couple other players. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.119 You put Chris Paul on that roster, you make sure 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.120 that he doesn't go to Milwaukee. Miami is going to 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.280 be better. You know in the East. If Milwaukee got 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:46.400 Chris Paul, they would be better. You got Doc Rivers 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.440 with Philadelphia Boston, maybe they're going to get it right 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.440 and figure it out. It's a lot of talent young 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.520 talent there. There's a lot of different teams right now 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.320 that are still poised to make that next step. And 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:02.040 I think Lebron is he's looking at barbarians at the 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.520 gate like I got it, they're coming and I got 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.120 to do something here. There is no way Lebron James 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:12.640 goes we're good right now. Ad comes back. I got Caldwell, Pope, 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:17.760 I got Crusoe. Playoff Rondo, Kyle Kuzma, that ain't happening. 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.760 Quinn Cook. They thought so much of Quinn Cook. The 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.039 bus left the arena after they won the championship and 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:30.160 left him there. They were like, hey, we forgot Quinn Cook. Yeah, 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:33.240 keep going. They had to circle back and go get him. 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.039 There is no way Lebron is gonna go I'm good 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.440 and I don't know what moves can be made. But 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.560 also factor this in his agency, Clutch agency, Who do 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.279 they represent? That's always what I keep an eye on. 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.440 How friendly can we make this work for both? Because 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.839 a great deal for the Lakers is a great deal 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.719 for Lebron James. This is about Lebron going in for 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.920 the kill again. Hey I got my title. That's not 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.440 good enough. He knows that he gets one more title, 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.520 two more titles. Then he knows, hey, I got a 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.200 legitimate stamp on being the greatest player of all time, 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:12.920 whether you want to give it to him or not. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.600 He won't have to say I want my damn respect. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.400 And I think that's why he's looking at his good 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.479 buddy Chris Paul. And if you bring into Marcus Cousins 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.680 or Tristan Thompson, and you know ship off some of 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.279 these players. They can somehow make it work with the 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.440 salary cap. This is what Lebron James is. That's what 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.680 I guarantee you. When that game ended, Lebron James was 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:40.720 already thinking about next year. This is how when Nick 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.839 Saban or Dabbo Sweeney wins the titles. Soon the games ends, 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.200 they get on the phone and start talking to recruits. Hey, 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.920 you want to be part of this. That's what I 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.279 would be shocked if Lebron is not doing that right 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.800 now and it's only seven o'clock in the morning where 0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.480 he is. But I'm guessing, and you gotta order off 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.600 season here that turnaround probably not having basketball till February. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.280 But make no mistake about it. And I was told 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.919 this yesterday afternoon. Somebody who works for a team in 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.919 the East said, Hey, you know, we worry about getting 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.240 our team back to where it should be, but we 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.120 are really worried that Lebron is going to go after 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.480 some players and he's going to build up that roster 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.000 to be even more formidable here. But keep in mind 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.440 what's going on here these teams in the West. I 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.360 don't know if Houston's any better. I don't know if 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.520 they trade James Harden. I don't know if they trade 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.719 Russell Westbrook. But I do think that Denver will be better, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.479 Portland will be better, Golden State definitely will be better. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.880 And I'm assuming that the Clippers, without being in the 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.600 bubble and ty Lou coming in that they should be 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:52.040 as good, if not better. Yeah, Paul, Golden State feels 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.640 like like a soccer team that gets relegated then comes back. 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.279 They went from fifty seven wins to fifteen. They were 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.040 completely off the sports map this year, completely, and it's 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.640 like a gap year. You almost forget that they're instantly 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.760 relevant when everyone's healthy next year. But I think that's 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.960 what people are forgetting about, because when I said, hey, 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.280 Golden States the team to beat, you looked at me like, really, 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.880 it's because they're out of your mind? Yes, But then 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:19.080 you start to think, I still have that core. I'm 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.280 good I got the second pick overall in the draft, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.520 like Golden State will be, I think the team to 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.760 beat unless Lebron if he asks if he adds Chris 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:36.360 Paul and or JaMarcus Cousins Tristan Thompson, then the Lakers 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.680 will be the team to beat. But I don't know 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.080 what Vegas has. They probably have the Lakers and then 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.560 the Clippers. I don't know where Golden State is there, 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.720 but I would look at Golden State, Steph coming back, 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:53.720 Klay Thompson coming back, Draymond Green, McLevin, you're Draymond Green. Yeah, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.240 you know. I don't know why. I just feel like 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:03.239 he's still a good player. I think, well, in that system. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.680 If he played in Orlando, nobody would talk about him. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.800 They would, but in that system, he knows how to play. 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.080 Like Dennis Rodman was so valuable because he filled a 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.800 role on great teams. Draymond Green fills a role on 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.200 that team. Individually, I don't think he's a great player 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.080 on that team. With what he does, he can be 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.080 a great player. What about you know, like, how would 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.480 they cover a Luca Like? I feel like there's there's 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.560 just some problems with that team right now. There's just 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.839 well everybody has a problem covering Luca. Yeah, I mean 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.920 the clip Paul George basically cried, whatever you got match 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.080 up with Luca Dolgic. But it just feels like the 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.120 league is passing by. I don't know why, I probably, 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.560 but who's still guarding Steph who's still guarding Clay? Are 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.120 those guys legs gonna hold up eighty two? Well, when 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.840 they've been resting. They didn't do anything this year like 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.440 twenty twenty. You know who Vegas loves is the nets 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.080 too well? Same reason I have a doubt for the 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.680 Warriors that nets like it feels guys coming off injury. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.760 You can't trust them yet. No, and the person I 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.240 spoke to who works for a team in the East, 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:11.920 had some serious concerns unless they got Mike D'Antoni. That's 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.559 another thing to keep an eye on. Dan Tony is 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:18.120 going to have opportunities. I don't know, maybe Indiana to 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.120 be the head coach. But if he comes in and 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:24.440 helps Steve Nash and you have a coach with head 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.920 coaching experience in a style that I'm sure Kyrie and 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:32.120 Kevin Durant would love, and those other players on the Nets, 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.560 then maybe you get something that's really interesting there. But 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.199 I got nervous when Kyrie said, hey, we all get 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.280 to coach. You know, we don't have a head coach here. 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.280 If it's like when you say, hey, we got two 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.680 really good quarterbacks on our roster, that means you don't 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.839 have one really great quarterback on your roster. Hey, we 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.600 got two guys who can play. You got one that's great. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.079 Hey we got all these head coaches. No, you need 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.240 a head coach here, kay? You do? But yes, mclub. 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:01.720 Does it really take to get over an ACL like 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.160 Clay was an a c l A Is he going 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.280 to be Clay Thompson? Doesn't it take a year? Or 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.520 you've had it a million times? Not a million? I 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.920 They've they finally started putting things in. When I got 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.040 my replacement knee, I said, there's nothing left to take out, 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.360 and they said, no, we're putting something in. We're gonna 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.520 give you a new knee here. But ac L, MCL 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.080 you know pretty much got it all. I didn't do PCO. 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.160 But he'll be ready to go. I mean he's had 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.080 a lot of time off. I mean we're talking about 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.160 the NBA Finals, right, He's had as much time off 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.559 as Durant and Durant had an achilles. I'll take the 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.040 ACL over an achilles. Yeah. By the way, do you 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.559 guys notice that as you get older, injuries don't go away. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.240 You just get accustomed to having them. Like an annoying 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.080 house guest. Yeah, like you break a finger or something 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.640 like that, and it just stays painful and hurt, and 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:53.599 you're like, all right, well, I'm gonna get us to 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.559 that thing. But when you're younger, it doesn't register go away, 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.320 it goes away, or you just you're okay with playing 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.720 through it, like you just go okay, you know, I 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.280 gotta hey my uh, I got tender ankle here. Hey 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.839 I think I sprained my wrist here, But you still play. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.600 It's when you get older you're like, man, this really hurt. 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.320 We complain more when we get older. That's the that's 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:18.760 the when you're younger, you don't complain and complain about anything. 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.600 Get older and like, oh yeah, yeah, I love. If 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.480 the Warriors do want to trade number two, can they 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:28.840 get anything like immediately impactful for that spot. I'm sure 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.960 they can. I don't know who they're targeting. I don't 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.040 I don't know if they want to take somebody with 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:37.640 that second pick, but I don't think Minnesota wants to 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.760 use that number one overall pick. But I don't know. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.640 You know who would covet that and say, boy, I'd like, 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:45.440 you know, we have a young roster we want to 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.640 bring in. You know, somebody, how about my seventy six 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:51.600 ers with m beat or Simmons as an example to do? 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.960 What for the number two pick? All to give up 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:56.280 one of those guys? Yeah, I give it one of 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.760 those guys, send them to Golden State. I'll hang up 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.800 with list. Oh my god, if you said that they 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:03.559 could get one of those two guys for the second 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:07.880 pick overall, I'd do that if I want to break 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.600 up the party. Maybe I don't think Doc does. No. 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.160 I think Doc realizes that I have something special. Let 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.440 me see it first before I go Nope, this isn't 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.240 going to work. I think that's that's the difference there. 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.079 Dale Earnhardt Junior announced the birth of his second daughter, 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:36.480 Nicole Lorraine Earnhardt, and Junior just had his birthday. Uh yeah, 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.800 so she was born two days after Dale Junior's birthday. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.880 That's great. I get a chance to text with him, 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.480 just back and forth, and it's usually about fatherly things. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.160 It's not about NASCAR or anything. It's just more of 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.959 just checking in because I like him for some reason. 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:57.079 I just felt like I took him under my wings 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.680 or I'm protective of him. When when he revealed so 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.240 much when he would come on the show, and not 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.080 that I'm a father figure to him, but I'm there 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.600 for advice when it comes to broadcasting, even having girls 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.160 too because I have three, so I'm great at handing 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:17.320 out advice with daughters there. But that's great, great for Junior, 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.760 so I'll send him a text there. Nick Saban's planning 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.320 on coaching. I don't know what the NCAA rules are. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.920 He's lobbying to coach and he thinks that this is 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:33.680 an unfair situation. He has tested positive. I guess he's asymptomatic, 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:36.199 but he wants to know why he can't be in 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:41.120 the building. The protocol is if you're in quarantine, you 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.600 can't have any remote access to the sidelines and you 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.000 can't go to the game, even if they put your 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.719 in an actulated area. So never I haven't thought much 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.800 about that, and I'm not being critical of anybody here. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.600 If you're the head coach, there ought to be a 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.960 better way to do it. No exactly what that is, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.400 but there should be a better way to do that. 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.920 You ought to be able to have something communication with 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:11.200 the sidelines. It's like to have communication with somebody on 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.360 the field during practice. So you can't have any of that, 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:22.160 And that doesn't seem quite right. He's not suspended. Could 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:24.720 I put him in a suite by himself where he 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:29.640 could have communication to the sidelines and Steve Sarkisian and 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.720 I don't know. I would tell Fritzie to reach out 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.960 to the NCAA, but that seems fruitless. But I'm just curious. 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:41.520 Does the SEC have rules here? It is it conference 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.400 by conference or is this I mean, this is all 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:49.960 uncharted territory. We've never been through this before. That asymptomatic. 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.240 Can he be in a suite by himself and therefore 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.800 I have communications to the sidelines? Jampoint The other day 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.200 it was reported that the nca rules supersede everything, at 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.320 least in advance of this game. Yeah, I'm gonna say, 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.760 when's Greg Sanky gets ahold of it? Who knows? But 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.120 that ninety minutes for the game, he cannot be on 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.720 the property, He cannot be there, cannot communicate. What if 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.480 you put him in a skybox by himself, he's a 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.280 scorted in three four hours before kickoff, don't know, and 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.440 he's escorted out. Yeah, I just think you put him 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.680 in a bubble and then let him stand on the sidelines. 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.160 He can walk around and he's just in a bubble 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:30.360 put some you know that packing bubbles. Just put him 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.640 in there, give him a headset. Yeah, club, you mean 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.400 like one of those giant like um inflatable samurai a 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.359 sumo wrestlers. Have you ever seen that? Yes, Reggie and Mississippi. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:51.480 Hey REDG. What's on your mind today? Hey REDG? Not 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:57.840 much apparently, Hey REDG. By Rag Kyle in California. Hey Kyle, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:04.240 what's on your mind? Hey Kyle, heyde I can't believe 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.600 I just heard you say you're picking the Warriors next year. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.800 I can't believe we just went through this. No, no, no, 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.640 I said I would have them as the favorites. The 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.040 Clippers were the favorites this year, and how did that 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.840 work out? So I just tell you who I think 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.720 will be the favorites there. So you're saying the favorite 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.600 as in automatically not going to win it as the favorite, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.680 Okay if you if you want to, yeah, let we'll 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.720 do that to stay friendly with one another here, Kyle, 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.640 fair enough, Okay. Anyway, So for the Lakers, so in 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.400 terms of like the whole free agent market, I think 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.920 it's going to be really interesting. Obviously not as big 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.560 of a free agent market with all the financial impact, 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.920 so it's going to be interesting to see where some 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.000 of these mid level guys go. I think the Lakers 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.920 going to snatch up some of these guys, maybe like 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.200 Danilo Gallinari, a guy like that. Sitting great. And let 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.320 me ask you one thing about Tyler and the Clippers. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.440 What is Tyler moving moving one seat over going to 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.520 do in terms of changing the relationship between the role 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.200 players role players in those stars, that's where the animosity is, yep, 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.960 And I think that's going to be the biggest challenge there. Kyle, 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.560 thanks for the phone call as always, And you know, 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.800 can he be a disciplinarian? Does he have their respect? 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.320 They gave him a five year deal and players do 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.080 follow that, like how much job security do you have? 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.399 How much are you making? And you got Kawai, you know, 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:26.639 Kauai is you know, people gotta somebody has to be 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.080 able to say to Kuai, you've got to come back 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.119 to earth here now, you've got to be that great 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.840 player and part of that is you got to be 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.399 a great teammate as well. He's a great player. I 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:43.960 just think he basically hijacked the organization here, and it 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.600 put Doc in a really precarious position because the other 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:51.399 players were looking at Doc and how Doc treated Kawai, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:57.360 and he treated him differently than he did his other players. Hey, 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:59.600 we're not going to take off until Kawai gets here. 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.720 Load management. Kuai's not playing. Hey, I'm gonna take out Kawai. 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:05.320 Kwai doesn't want to come out of the game. These 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:09.320 are all documented things, by the way, folks, and tylu 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.359 I don't know. You know, he didn't get enough credit 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.800 with Lebron in Cleveland. I don't know, probably not going 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.200 to get credit with the Clippers because it's going to 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.440 be Kawai and Paul George who get the credit, and 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.840 he'll probably get the blame. But I think trying to 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:25.520 be able to stand up to Kawai and say this 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.520 is what I need from you, and this is a 0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.040 player along with Paul George that following next season they 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.560 can opt out. It's really a very delicate, tenuous situation 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:39.760 there because there's no guarantee QUI might go and I 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.879 don't want to play under this. I don't want you 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.560 telling me what I can do. Kawai is the one 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:47.399 who came to town, didn't want to go to the Lakers, 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.040 and he said, hey, I want Paul George here, and 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.280 they went out, they acquiesced, they got Paul George there, 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.520 gave up the future, get Paul George. So and Tylu 0:18:55.600 --> 0:19:00.280 doesn't get a honeymoon period. Tylo has his much pressure 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:02.960 on him as Frank Vogel does, if not more. So 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.840 we'll take a break. Tom Berducci will join us. Coming up. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.639 What do you think of Dave Roberts leaving Clayton Kershaw 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.080 on the game in the sixth inning?
