Of course, 87 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: the national championship is a we'll be here before you 88 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: know it, and the playoffs continue, but there's a other stuff. 89 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, we got the college football playoffs semi finals 90 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 5: coming up Thursday and Friday, and you would think that'd 91 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 5: be the big story in college football, but it's not because, 92 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 5: as you guys have talked about for about a week now, 93 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 5: the portal has completely thrown the college football world through 94 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 5: a tizzy. At one point one in every three Division 95 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 5: one college football player was in the portal. That doesn't 96 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 5: mean they all change schools, but they put their name in. 97 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: Why not interested. 98 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 5: So over four thousand players were in the portal at 99 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 5: one point about three or four days ago, and yesterday 100 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 5: we had something that really, you know, kind of shook 101 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 5: that whole story even further. Washington quarterback Demon Williams had 102 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 5: declared earlier in the week that he was going to 103 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 5: return to the Washington Huskies. 104 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: He was not going to leave. 105 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 5: He's very good, very highly thought of, and if he 106 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 5: wanted to leave, he could have left very quickly and 107 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 5: got paid very handsomely. As a result, Washington, according to reports, 108 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 5: offered him a contract which he signed to return to 109 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 5: the Huskies in the neighborhood of about four million dollars. However, 110 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 5: late last night, Williams goes on his Instagram saying, I've 111 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 5: decided to put my name in the transfer portal because quote, 112 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 5: I have to do what is best for me and 113 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 5: my future. One thing that needs to be noted as well. 114 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 5: He's in the portal, but he put on there with 115 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 5: the disclaimer do not contact. While that could be nothing. Historically, 116 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 5: players who go in the portal with they do not 117 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 5: contact tag are in there because they already have a 118 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 5: team in place. They are going to there's waiting to 119 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 5: sign the contract before they leave. 120 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: Guys. 121 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 5: According to ESPN, Yahoo The Athletic, this thing has really 122 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 5: reached the bullying point in the Northwest, to a point 123 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 5: where Washington has already told any reporter who would listen 124 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 5: that they're gonna take legal action against Williams if he 125 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 5: tries to get into the portal and they will not 126 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 5: even allow him. They will do everything they can in 127 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 5: their power to prevent him from leaving his name in. 128 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 3: The portal moving forward. Okay, he's gonna get messy. It 129 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: is messy, And first of all, it's a couple of things. 130 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: Okay, you don't want anybody who doesn't want to be there, 131 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: So the whole idea of that you're gonna stop them 132 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: or whatever, right like, once you decide you don't want 133 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: to be here, I don't want you here. 134 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 4: So the school can say to Rod Parker, Okay, that's 135 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 4: that what You're dead to me. Yeah, absolutely, Williams, You're 136 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 4: dead to me once you want if you don't want 137 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 4: to be here. Seriously, pap Rowley's always said, either you're 138 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 4: in or you're out. 139 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: Once you say you don't want to be here, I 140 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: gotta I gotta like. It might hurt me in the beginning, 141 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: but it's because it doesn't make any sense. So so 142 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: that's part of it. The other part is, uh, with 143 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: these contracts and where we are the same college football, 144 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: I just I think we need to Are you ready? 145 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: I'm ready to make some real changes. 146 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: I got two really big changes that people probably don't 147 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: want to hear, but I'm gonna tell you anyway. 148 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 3: I'm gonna break it down, break it down for me. Okay, 149 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: you're gonna talk about it, I'm gonna break it down 150 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: for you. Come on. 151 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Number one, can we change the name of college football? 152 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: What to minor league football? No longer college football? They 153 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: pay the players that make a lot of money. The 154 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: games are on TV. They charge you can't get in 155 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: with your student. I d you gotta buy season tickets, 156 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: all right, it's minor league football. Number two, and even 157 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: bigger than just the name change is we have to 158 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: have a players union, a collective bargaining agreement that protects 159 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: the players from schools doing exactly what he wants to do, 160 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: which is schools they have had, And I've seen college 161 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: football writers show language in these deals where it's the 162 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: schools state they can void out the contract Calvin whenever 163 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: they want to under any. 164 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: Those bylaws and contracts for sure. 165 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so they can do it whenever they want to. 166 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: But now they're talking about going to court. Bad business. 167 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 3: Bad. 168 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: It's a bad look because if I'm a player and 169 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: I see Washington do all this stuff, I want to 170 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: go there. I don't know if I really want to 171 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: go to or even be committed to anything that they're doing. 172 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: It looks really bad. It just looks bad going forward 173 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: or whatnot. But I believe in let's change college football. 174 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: It's a minor league football, that's what it is. And 175 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: the players have to have a CBA that bargains for them, 176 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: that looks out for them, so that these are all 177 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: the same deals. If you sign a deal, says in 178 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: the CBA, you have to honor your contract for whatever 179 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: it is, and the school cannot cut you or or 180 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: not cut you, but not pull their scholarship for one year, 181 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: say you signed it the first year or whatever. It 182 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: has to be guaranteed. There's gotta be safeguards for the 183 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: players as well, not just. 184 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 3: For the schools. That's where I'm at. 185 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 4: Well, obviously, you and I both have contracts here. We've 186 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: had contracts too. I had a TV contract, You've had 187 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 4: TV contracts. We've had contracts, so you know, how this goes. 188 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 4: There's always going to be an out, whether that's a 189 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: moral clause, whether that's some type of not in our 190 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: business but an injury clause or something. There's always going 191 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 4: to be an out when it comes to contract. Lawyers 192 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 4: are gonna lawyer, and there's gonna be a way out. 193 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 4: But the reason why I'm not mad at what you're 194 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 4: saying is because, at least if there's some type of 195 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 4: understanding where hey, we don't mind you transferring, if there's 196 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 4: some type of CBA, you can transfer, or you can 197 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: do this. But here's what it is. You know, contractually, 198 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 4: you get two transfers, and that's it. Contractually, if we 199 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 4: say we're gonna pay you one hundred and fifty thousand 200 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: per year, two hundred whatever we gotta pay. 201 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 3: You, and coaches too. Coaches, you get one. 202 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: Transfer or one I'm gonna go to this other school 203 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 4: and the next one. You got to honor the full 204 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 4: length of your contract. 205 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 3: You know, happen. 206 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 4: I know, but I'm just saying, like we need to 207 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 4: get because I'm saying it can't just be all in 208 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 4: company on the students because again, they're no longer amateur students, right, 209 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 4: they're full These are employees. 210 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: And if you're an employee, whether there's employee rights. 211 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: So there needs to absolutely be some type of collective 212 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 4: bargaining for the college. And they started remember Northwest, the 213 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 4: Northwestern kids try to do that. 214 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: And judge years agow, but they need a union. They 215 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: need it. 216 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 4: They're getting too much money when you have colleges that 217 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 4: are paying nearly thirty million dollars for these student athletes, 218 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: that's Dagner a third of the NBA salary, like a. 219 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 3: School like Indiana paying everybody. 220 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 4: Why are you singling out Indiana out here in these streets. 221 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: So absolutely they need to have a collective bargaining. And 222 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 4: I look at this as this is where they tried 223 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: to right or wrong and now everything's turned wrong. They 224 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 4: tried to right or wrong with college sports by being 225 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: too late me and you've talked about it. NCUBLEA. No, 226 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 4: the kids can't do this, God forbid. They get some 227 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 4: free pizzas and sign a few autographs. If God forbid, 228 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 4: they get a couple of tattoos like teenagers do, and 229 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 4: now they're bad people. And they're bad guys because they 230 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 4: got tattoos just signing some stuff or just sticking around 231 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: or taking pictures because they're athletes. So the I called 232 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 4: it identity fraud. The NCUBA has been practicing identity fraud 233 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 4: for decades. And now these kids can finally get paid 234 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: and they're going haywire. Now they can finally control their 235 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 4: own destiny with transfer, and they're going haywire. And this 236 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: is where we are. So there needs to be some 237 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 4: type of come to Jesus moment. We'll talking about Jesus 238 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 4: on this worse of Wednesday. We're both all. 239 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 3: That was good. We'll get you there.

I can't excuse you because he 249 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 3: calls all the time. But you say it. So that's good. 250 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: We need a double for the first of all, we're 251 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: not married. 252 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 4: Okay, I know it's not a couple, but we're not 253 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 4: a couple like that.

It's legal, and I have to like it. 263 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: I don't like it, But I'm just saying, if that's 264 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 4: you're right, you can do it. I also don't have 265 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 4: to like. 266 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: Whatever you want because the minute of the season is 267 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: it's a big announcement. 268 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna stay well.

You 300 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: know what, they know why they sign you to a 301 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: contract because they don't want you to go to another 302 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: channel or whatever another situation, but they have to honor 303 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: it and have to pay you in full. In college, 304 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: they could just decide that they're going to change or 305 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: not pay you. 306 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to speak on that because I 307 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: don't know that.

I don't know how that works. Like 310 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 4: I don't want to. I don't want to because they 311 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: can pull out of it, like a scholarship. Well, scholarship, 312 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 4: they'll change that though, because of everybody. Once we all 313 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 4: found out about this scholarship, we all thought you got 314 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 4: your four years.

Here, 512 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 4: what's going on, Mark, just I mean, you heard the 513 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 4: breaking news. 514 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 8: What do you think, Rob? What I think is that 515 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 8: it's really funny that Trey Young would look at the 516 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 8: Washington Wizards as this top desired destination. That's the first 517 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 8: time I ever heard that in history. But that actually 518 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 8: does make sense. 519 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 3: Makes sense in what well, it makes sense to me too. 520 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 4: I know why. I think, I know where you're gonna 521 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 4: say that. 522 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 8: Here's why. Travis Schlanky is the organization. He has history, 523 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 8: He's the one who pulled the triggers getting Trey Young. 524 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 8: So that's point number one. Point number two. The Washington 525 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 8: Wizards have always used to be the punchline that they're 526 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 8: just a team that exists so that the NBA can 527 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 8: have an eighty two game schedule. But even though they're 528 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 8: at bombies right now, Travis, Michael Winger, they all are 529 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 8: pretty well respected executives, and so they're they're hoardings draft 530 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 8: picks right now, and so they're in tank MOE. But 531 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 8: they believe that Trey Young, once they get good draft picks, 532 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 8: can make the next up. 533 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 3: Oh well, you looked at that differently me. 534 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 4: I thought it was Trey Young feel like he can 535 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 4: go there and get busy, be the only guy and 536 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: you know, put up crazy numbers thirty five hour too. 537 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, he'll be Bradley Beal. He'll be Russell Westbrook 538 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 8: there as well. 539 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought he just wants to go there. 540 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: Come on, he went to the NBA Siberia Pigs to 541 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: go to NBA Siberia. I don't even care he's for me. 542 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: Technically he's out of the league. He decided that he 543 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: doesn't want to win. He doesn't want to pressure or 544 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: playing and being criticized or help. Expectations are being accountable. 545 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: I'll get my millions. Nobody will bother us, and they 546 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: don't expect anything. Who would pick to go to the 547 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: Washington Wizards. I'm dead serious. It is the most ludicrous thing. 548 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 3: Four years ago, this guy went to New York. 549 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: It was going to be the new Bowin bawling against 550 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: the Knicks, right, He's gonna be the new Reggie Miller 551 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: and all that. And now here's a guy saying, okay, 552 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: pick me the ugliest girl at the gym, at the dance, 553 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: pick me, pick me? 554 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 3: Really the Washington Wizards, Well. 555 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 8: Rob, here connect the dots here. I don't think that 556 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 8: he was the first person to suggest that he would 557 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 8: be out with Atlanta. I think Atlanta chose that by 558 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 8: not extending, so that that was dominant number one. Up 559 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 8: until this point. The Hawks have always been beholden to 560 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 8: him and saying, you know what, we're going to be 561 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 8: committed to because we know threw ups and downs or not. 562 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 8: You're a franchise game. And but what's happened was he's 563 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 8: been injured a lot more and they have a lot 564 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 8: other younger talent around him, been all right, and they've 565 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 8: gotten some good urns that they decided what now is 566 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 8: the tend to pool the trigger. There's always been these 567 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 8: last few years where they've waited, do we make the 568 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 8: choice out of trade Trey Trey Young? And the only 569 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 8: expectation of had is they would have to bring in 570 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 8: a haul back, and the marketplace always said, you know what, 571 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 8: others like Trey Young, but not to gut the roster. 572 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 8: And so to your point, rob him choosing Washington, Yes, 573 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 8: iligned the practical part, but it also is kind of 574 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 8: his only choice that was available because I don't think 575 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 8: there was going to be really a ross market with 576 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 8: him with other teams. 577 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, especially with these old money wise too and 578 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 4: It's just crazy how time can change things. Have you 579 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 4: looked at this, You know, three years ago Trey on 580 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 4: to everybody would want him. Not the case now, Mark 581 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 4: Medina on with us, let's switch gears, Rob and I 582 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 4: will continue that conversation when we're done with you. That's 583 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 4: too We got a game tonight in the Lakers and 584 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 4: the Spurs. Wimby obviously restrict it. We don't know if 585 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 4: he's gonna play it. You got Lebron who doesn't want 586 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 4: to necessarily go back to back. But what do you 587 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: make of where the Lakers are right now, specifically starting? 588 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 4: And JJ Reddick says he didn't even know what's going 589 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 4: on with the team at times as as we're you know, 590 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 4: I don't know nearing halfway. 591 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 3: Walks Coach of the Year last year, JJ Reddick, don't 592 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 3: you remember that? Mark? 593 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 7: Hey, you know what? 594 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 8: The fact that they're up and down just sets them 595 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 8: up for a second half comeback to possibly get that award, 596 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 8: don't you think? 597 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay? 598 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 8: And in reality, Rob Colina, Spada stay. 599 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: What they are. 600 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 8: They are a fall team. They are a team that 601 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 8: can win very close games against bad teams. They're also 602 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 8: a team that can get blown out against good teams. 603 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 8: And so you saw against New Orleans Luca Lebron. Oh 604 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 8: the chemistry is great. 605 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,959 Speaker 7: Well live they played the pellat right. 606 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 8: He's the worst teams in the NBA. And so you know, 607 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 8: I know internly, for example, talking to Marcus Smart the 608 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 8: other day, he thinks, okay, with just enough time, with 609 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 8: more effort, communication, they can be a good defensive. But 610 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 8: the reality is Marcus Smart is their best defender. And 611 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 8: he's been telling me, you know what, he has to 612 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 8: try to do all these things to make life easier 613 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 8: for Lucas so that he's got worn out on the 614 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 8: offensive end. And I think that you have to have 615 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 8: more defenders than just that. Even if you have buying 616 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 8: and better communication, their. 617 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 10: Stealing isn't going to be enough. 618 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 8: So with that, what the Lakers are. They're a okay team, 619 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 8: not a great team. 620 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 9: What does that mean? 621 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 8: They can get to the playoffs, but they'll likely get 622 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 8: them blown out in the second round, barring you know, 623 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 8: any move before the trade dead line. 624 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 3: So this is put Ka's fault, not JJ Reddick. Are 625 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 3: you on that ship? 626 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 7: Yeah? I think you know. 627 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 8: It's always perscentage. I blame here Where Rob Linka is 628 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 8: I don't. Yeah, he can have a better roster, but 629 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 8: realistically they didn't have the tools to really make anything 630 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 8: beyond marginal upgrades. So he could do a better job, 631 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 8: but within the parameters did as fast as realistically possible. 632 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 8: Where JJ Reddick uts blame. I think that he should 633 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 8: have been smart starting Marcus Smart. 634 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 3: Uh, make it, make some lineup change when you got. 635 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 8: To have a more defensive orients. He would counter, Hey, look, 636 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 8: if they're producing enough offense, they're going to get blown 637 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 8: out in the gym because they're not a great defensive team. 638 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 8: But I think at LEASA would have mitigated that. But 639 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 8: I think it's also the players themselves. I mean, Lebron, Luca, 640 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 8: they're great offensively. They've shown some efforts infily, but it's 641 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 8: not enough consistently. And everyone else outside of Marcus Smart 642 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 8: and maybe gatee Vincent, they just don't bring it defensively. 643 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 5: Uh. 644 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 8: No matter what tactics they try to impose here and Deandrayden, Uh, 645 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 8: you've seen him kind of buy in to be the sky. 646 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 8: That's one to sacrifice and redeem himself. The other are 647 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 8: times where he gets frustrated he's not get enough shots. 648 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 8: So you put all these puzzle pieces together here or 649 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 8: what it means is the Lakers are you know, Jecko 650 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 8: and High every single game because they're very flaw Let 651 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 8: me go. 652 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 4: Here with the Mark Gadino on with the odd couple 653 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 4: of Fox Sports Radio. Uh, let me ask you about 654 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 4: the Spurs the other side of this, this nationally televised 655 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 4: game coming up in a little bit here, Wimby, do 656 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 4: you think they're just gonna have to accept, Hey, he's 657 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 4: gonna play sixty games a year, but hopefully we can 658 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: have him for eight to ten years and get a 659 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 4: ring or two. Is that or they think, hey, maybe 660 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 4: we can get him healthy because this is concerning where 661 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 4: he's a few years in and things keep happening. 662 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would look. 663 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 8: I would be mindful of two things though, one or 664 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 8: three strings. 665 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 6: One. 666 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 8: You know, he was coming off the blood plot situation 667 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 8: last summer, so I think going in the Spurs, we're 668 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 8: gonna be conservative. The Spurs, they're the ones that basically 669 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 8: pioneered load management where Great Popovich was sitting Tim Duncan, 670 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 8: did you know Tony Parker even before they were like 671 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 8: past their prime, So this is very much in line 672 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 8: with that philosophy. And three I don't want to say 673 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 8: that when he's injury prone, he's too frail in the NBA, 674 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 8: but because of his size, like they do, they do 675 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 8: try to be even more cautious than that. But I 676 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 8: remember talking to different teams for an office, you know, scout, 677 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 8: you know, before he was coming to the league, and 678 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 8: they said, after a year three, he's going to be 679 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 8: fully adjusted in the NBA in terms of like physicality 680 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 8: and durability. And he's in your three. So I think 681 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 8: he's still going through that and to some rates to 682 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 8: be expected. 683 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 3: Good luck with that. I'm just he's missing of his games. 684 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: You've seen all the big guys, they all have ankle, foot, 685 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: leg problems. I mean, I just he's going to be different, 686 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: He's going to be uh more. He's just I just 687 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: can't buy into that. If you're not healthy or young 688 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: and strong when you're young, as you get older, I 689 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: just can't see how that's going to turn around. I 690 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: really can't ask good as the people in New Orleans 691 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: who's still waiting for LaMelo ball, for Zion Williamson to play. 692 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 3: A full season. Seriously. 693 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, here here's the other thing. 694 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 8: Rob with Wemby, you know, he had a calf injury 695 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 8: earlier this year. Those injuries have often led to achilles, 696 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 8: and the way he plays as much as the past 697 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 8: NBA was, you know, more physical, with like brute strength. 698 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 8: He's going all over the court here. And so I 699 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 8: actually talked to some doctors not just about Wemby, but 700 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 8: on the players around the NBA with you know, injuries, 701 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 8: and they all points common denominator because big guys especially 702 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,479 Speaker 8: are you know, passing inside but also being stretched fives 703 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 8: and doing a bunch of things that leads. 704 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 7: To more and more injuries. 705 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 8: And so I think the expectation is, Yeah, Wenby, I 706 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 8: don't want to say is going to go down the 707 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 8: Zion route, but I don't think he's gonna win an 708 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 8: Iron Man Award at any point. 709 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 4: Always might heard him that he may never win an 710 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 4: award because you've got to have those certain amount of No, 711 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 4: I gotta win those sixty Yeah, you gotta play those 712 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 4: sixty five sixty six games, all right, Mark, thank you, man, 713 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 4: appreciate it as always. 714 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 7: I appreciate you guys best, no doubt. 715 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 4: Hey, more of this tree Young News, NBA Big Tray. 716 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 4: We'll talk about that next to to the odd couple. 717 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. 718 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 6: Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple 719 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 6: with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington weekdays at seven pm 720 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 6: Eastern four pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the 721 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 6: iHeartRadio app. 722 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 4: Well it is The Odd Couple Robin Kelvin on a 723 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 4: worship Wednesday.

I know they got a couple 749 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 4: of young pieces that people might be excited about if 750 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 4: you're a fan of the Wizards, but not enough to 751 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 4: make somebody like him now, a veteran in this league 752 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 4: who people have expectations for. 753 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 3: That's not the team you're going to go to.

You 760 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 4: just want to be able to justify. And that's the 761 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 4: part you and I this is a dirty secret. Let's 762 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 4: have a little forty years in the game for you, 763 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 4: twenty years for me. The more you're around pro athletes, 764 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,839 Speaker 4: especially who just kicking in with you, and honest, it's 765 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 4: not that they don't want to win, but the checks 766 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 4: cash every two weeks, in their cases every month, and 767 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 4: I'm trying to put up numbers.

JJ Reddick, got it. That's what he Yeah, 785 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: he's like high strung, like like you can't look at 786 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: it like that. Other teams play, they're playing too. They 787 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: got top ad pros, right. The ball is always bounce 788 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: your way. Some nights you're knocking down everything. Other nights you. 789 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 3: Can't make it right if you play a long time. 790 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. I just for me, it just feels weird. 791 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: And maybe you know there's other minutia and stuff and whatnot, 792 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: But to me that that that's the only place he 793 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: wanted to go was to Washington. Really, I just like, wow, 794 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: let me go somewhere, approve, go to a team that 795 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,439 Speaker 1: just needs to get over the hump. Let me play 796 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: there right, and then they'll then they'll fall in love 797 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: with me and be like, Yo, this is what we 798 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 1: were missing? 799 00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 6: Is it? 800 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 4: Is it the idea that I can start afresh. 801 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 8: They got it. 802 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 4: They got some young draft picks that they got some 803 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 4: young talent now and maybe some picks coming up. And 804 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 4: I can't be the one to resurrect this franchise. He 805 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 4: doesn't strike me as a resurrect guy. Here's why he 806 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 4: doesn't compete on the defensive end. He's way too small, 807 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 4: and somebody well he's small. No, no, no, there have 808 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 4: been small guards and you know this throughout the league, 809 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 4: who are Chris Paul.
