Speaker 2: Well, there you go.

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: There's all the evidence you need that our show is

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: not taped. Have you ever thought our show was taped

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: instead of being live four hours every night, Like, have

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: you ever thought that, Well, there's your evidence that it's

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: not okay because we would have edited. I think we

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: had plenty of evidence before that. But you never know.

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: But you know what every once in a while you

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: have to throw that random thing is maybe you.

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: Mispronounce the word horribly to where its borderline h censored.

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Yea required, you know that kind of thing. So here

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: we are another big night. You're all up in your Knicks, Knicks,

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: Knicks world. So I think that's where your brain went.

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Go New York, Go, New York go. You got to

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: bring that up. The Knicks finish, just wanted to get

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: it done. The Knicks finished that game ever done. Raptors

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: on a ninety nine to eight run. Sounds about right,

38
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: And that was all of a sudden. Now somebody, I'm

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: not gonna say who, Karl Anthony towns Us. Well, wait

40
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: a minute, this yan is rumors. This is out there.

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Now I better pull down like twenty five rebounds tonight

42
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: in the game. Oh okay, let me go, let me go.

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: Probably say I don't want to get traded to Milwaukee.

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: But if it's gonna require an every what third day

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: rumor of Cat getting traded.

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: Somewhere to really spur him on. He's really not paying

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: attention now because this has been out there a minute.

48
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: This is a year. Just goes back a year, sure

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: that it's been the Hey, get your ass.

50
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: To your normal kind of numbers and effort. Maybe try

51
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: a little bit defensively, or you're getting shipped out.

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: That's a year. According to reports, the Teakers making aggressive offers.

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: That are the big four suitors for Yannis, who today

54
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: it comes out that the Bucks are open to trading him.

55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: They want to make a big deal. They know it's

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: time and hey, dude, tonight the Lakers need him way

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: more than the Knicks too. That for sure, multiple teams

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: received a sense that the Bucks are more open than

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: ever to trade him between now and the deadline. I

60
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: remember Yannis is out for a little while with the

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: calf strain, which we can get into. Hey, he gave

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: you a three to six week guesstimate himself. But the

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: four teams right now at the top of the list,

64
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: the Heat, the Timberwolves, the Knicks, and the Warriors all

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: are the big Yannis suitors. And I want to say yeah,

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: it's great, Seancarati, that's great. We told you a week

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: and a half ago, Jannie is getting dealt okay, and

68
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: and we tweeted out the picture when Jannis booed his

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: own fans. That was the cross the Rubicon line I

70
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: want out see nobody does that. I thought it was

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: the because that one, you could still say there's some

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: playfulness to it. It's like, yeah, boo you two.

73
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: When he started in the locker room saying this guy

74
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: sucks and that guy sucks, and we're not giving any

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: effort and nobody's trying, that was when I thought the

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: he really brought out the giant flame throw.

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: See.

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: Here's the thing is, I think that was the second

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: part to his plan. Right now, I'll tell you we're

80
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: more detectives than we are insiders. But I think detective

81
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: and insider is kind of because what we do is

82
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: take evidence and we examine it, and we give we

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: tell you what's going on right and then and we

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: have a great track record of being correct on it.

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 1: But I mean, you forget about going back to last

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: offseason where the reports were out there that Jannis's preferred

87
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: destination was the Knicks, and then that didn't happen. And

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: then early on in the season, his agent was talking

89
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: to the Bucks about, hey, is his best place here

90
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee or is it someplace else? Right, all that

91
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: going on, but when Yannis booed the fans, and then

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: a few days later he you know, took on and

93
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: and and torched everybody on his team. The efforts not there,

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: we're not trying, we're not together. You knew that he

95
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: was getting dene like I knew. I knew what he

96
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: bued the fans, but at this point knew he was

97
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: getting traded because what do we always say for players,

98
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: for stars in the NBA, how do you get out?

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: You have to go scorched earth, scorched earth and say

100
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: this is not working. I need out now. Everybody's definition

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: of scorched earth is different. James Harden's definition of scorched

102
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: earth is Darryl Moury is a liar. I'm sorry some

103
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: of you not have your microphones on, hanging on ahead,

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: turn your MIC's on. Everything good, you guys are rolling. Okay,

105
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: let me say Darryl Moury is a liar, right, that's yeah.

106
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: For you guys in the back that might not have

107
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: caught that one. Yeah, that's James Harden's scorched earth. Kevin

108
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: durant Is, I want out right that everybody's got scorched,

109
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: But Giannis's scorched earth, because he's a nice guy, is

110
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: a little bit different. So his scorched earth was We're

111
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna lay the groundwork in the off season, then we're

112
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna do it again in the beginning of the season

113
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: to hey, if we don't start out well, I want

114
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: you to know, this is what I want. And then

115
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: as nice as possible, I guess his scorched earth was

116
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: booing the fans and taking on his teammates under the

117
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: guys of hey, I need to get a message through

118
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: to you, guys, you need to start playing harder and

119
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: playing better. And what happened in the next game, they

120
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: got blown out by a Denver Nuggets team without Jokic,

121
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: without Murray. They made a big run at the end,

122
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: but they couldn't win. Jannis looked like he was sleep

123
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: walking through the game. Then it turns out, hey, his

124
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: body language was awful. But then he comes out with

125
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: the calf injury. There's no turning back once you turn

126
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: on the fans. And that was even though Jannis can

127
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: try to play that off. That was as scorched earth

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: as Jannis would go. Is that I'm gonna do this

129
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: and now this with the fans, Now that's gotta be enough.

130
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be hated, and I don't want

131
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Milwaukee to be hated. I had good, good times here

132
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: and I won the title, and I don't want it

133
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: to be all of a sudden when I get dealt.

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: It's like Luca with the Mavericks, where fans are running

135
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: around with torches like Frankenstein going wait, going to burdens

136
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: to the ground, like I don't want that, because that's

137
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: still what's going on in Dallas after the Luca trade.

138
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: And so yeah, I get that he didn't want that.

139
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: So this is about as scorched earth as Jannis wants

140
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: to go, because that's kind of how he carries himself.

141
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: He's always carried himself with a level of Hey, understand,

142
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to get too out of control. I

143
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: want to get too emotional, and I'm gonna be as

144
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: reserved as I can. Doesn't mean he's not human, doesn't

145
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: mean he doesn't want to go say, hey, where's that ball?

146
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: I scored fifty points, Hey, Pistons, give me that ball.

147
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: But this is about as as deep as he wanted

148
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: to go, and the message clearly has been sent and

149
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: now he is absolutely getting traded. But remember we told

150
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: just ten days ago us we are. We are the

151
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: detective sports detectives of the highest order. You give us

152
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: a clue, and you give us a case, we will

153
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: figure it out. We're better than David Caruso and all

154
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: the other csis. Yet if David and then Cis CIS

155
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: CSI crossover you wanted to, we would want to forget it, man,

156
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: we would. We would just blow those guys out.

157
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: Of the water.

158
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: The stuff we come up with Peterson versus Caruso. Let's

159
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: go look, it all comes back to Dave Mason. There

160
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: ain't no good guys. There ain't no bad guys. There's

161
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: only you and me, and we just disagree. And that's

162
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: where we're at with the bucks of the trying to

163
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: hold on to the last vestiges of what you once were.

164
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: You're an old team, all the pieces that you tried

165
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: to bring in. Let's face it, guys got hurt, right

166
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: if the Damian Lillard thing didn't work, and he gets hurt,

167
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: and then he's gone. You took all these other ancillary parts.

168
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: They were guys in their mid thirties, not to you know,

169
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: do the aide shaming. I'm an old man, But for

170
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: basketball years, that's.

171
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: Not conducive to an eighty two game schedule because over

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: the course of time, you're gonna have guys missing large

173
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: swaths of games trying to keep some level of continuity.

174
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you watch it on a lot of these teams,

175
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: it's like, all right, they're on.

176
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: A really good run.

177
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, just wait for one of the guys to get hurt, right,

178
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: Like we're enjoying what the Clippers are doing.

179
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: Sorry Mazi, but you know at some.

180
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Point there's going to be that next generation where one

181
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: of those guys is gonna be unavailable for a stretch.

182
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: You could see it coming. You just hope it's not

183
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: in crunch time with Milwaukee, you've hit that point. And

184
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: even in the Eastern Conference where there's opportunity to rise

185
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: up right, because of the conference as a whole, it

186
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: has a problem.

187
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it stakes. I mean, you got a lot of bad,

188
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: middling teams and watching Hey coming up on then the

189
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: Bulls next game, it's like, well, they're one game under

190
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: five hundred, they'll play the heat, who are two games

191
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: over five hundred. You got a lot of teams like that.

192
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: You got Boston, they get they were getting blown out tonight,

193
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: they battled back, they got you got your Nicks, Cleveland

194
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: beats up on the Lakers, and every once in a

195
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: while like they could still make that run, right, But

196
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: overall there's not a lot of overwhelming competition like you

197
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: have when you look at a stacked West. So it's like,

198
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: all right, you needed a move or two to go

199
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: over the top. And Giannis never wants to be the

200
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: bad guy. And that's and that's the biggest issue to

201
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: all of this, that it's all got to be done

202
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: under cover of night and in the back channels and

203
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: through Shan's and through all this reporting, as opposed to

204
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: just standing up and definitively saying, you know what, it

205
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: was a good run. I've had thirteen years because he

206
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: because he's gone down that road, he's gone down the

207
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: wistful highways of Hey, you know, I've been here a

208
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: long time, I've seen a lot of stuff. Whatever. At

209
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: some point you just need to say that final sentence.

210
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: Someone needs you to just hold it up on a

211
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 3: que card for him to say, you're honest, just say

212
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: that last line. I need a change, Milwaukee needs a change.

213
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: It's gone well and there go. And the thing is

214
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: is that, to be quite honest, we told you this

215
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: was and this trade that's likely going to happen. But

216
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: you're you're not gonna sit here and take these offers

217
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: with teams that can give you what you want or

218
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: close to what you want for it and not trade him.

219
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: This was inevitable, like Thanos coming back. It's inevitable, except

220
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, Tony's not going to get the gauntlet in

221
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: a sleight of hand at the end, which all of

222
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: a sudden was so easy for Tony star get the

223
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: glove off. He's a wizard. Sorry spoiler, but it's inevitable

224
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: because when you play, when you're a big star and

225
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: you play in a smaller ish market and you get

226
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: as far as you can there, it's only natural to say, boy,

227
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: what would life be like in a bigger market, a

228
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: different place. That's an itch I really want to scratch.

229
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: And sometimes the itch is a little it's a low

230
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: grade itch. You're like, okay, Then the itch gets higher grade,

231
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: and then suddenly it's like you got poison IVY Oh

232
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: my god, give me the calumine lotion. II my god.

233
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm just aching like crazy. Shaq went through it in Orlando.

234
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: He got to the finals. That was as far as

235
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: I could get, right. He was the old last guy

236
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: to send Michael Holmes. He still talks about that twenty

237
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: five years later. Hey, you gotta hang your hat on

238
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: whatever you got. Man. He knew, Okay, this is how

239
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: far I'm gonna get in Orlando. I want the Lakers,

240
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: and Yannis knows he got further. I won a title.

241
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: But this is now three years plus of the Bucks

242
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: not getting close back to the top. They're getting closer

243
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the standings than anything else. And

244
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: now the itch is overwhelming and I don't want to

245
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: waste any more time. I can go somewhere. I look

246
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: at what the NBA is like this year. There's lots

247
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: of teams I can help. There's a few teams I

248
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: can go to that I think I can really, you know,

249
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: push over the top. So it really was inevitable that

250
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: we were gonna get to this point, right, even Damian Lillard,

251
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: who was like, no, I am Portland till I die

252
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: man Portland Portland Portland, right, Portland. Tattoos got Portland everywhere Portland, Portland, Portland.

253
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'll take a trade. I'll take a trade

254
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: because you know what, you got to scratch that itch.

255
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: I got to the Western Conference finals a few years ago.

256
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: It never got better. I got to scratch it. Now.

257
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: It didn't work out for him, but he tried. And

258
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: now he's going to finish in Portland as he rehabs

259
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: it comes back and finish his career there. But for Stars,

260
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: it's almost inevitable that that's what's going to happen. And

261
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: the Giannis was going to do this, he was going

262
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: to ask out it was going and now is just

263
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: the time. He accelerated the timeline in the last ten

264
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: days by doing it his way, and now he's going

265
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: to be on a new team Knicks.

266
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 3: At the deadline, he's got the eligibility four year, two

267
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: to seventy five supermax. I usually associate that with prisons,

268
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 3: but we do it with the contract here on October first,

269
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: without the extension, potential to be a UFA in twenty

270
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: twenty seven. So you've got that hanging in the balance,

271
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: and it's just that curiosity, right, It's like in any

272
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 3: situation that you're in for a long period of time,

273
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: there's always maybe a little bit of hey, what's out there.

274
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: Some guys in sports have the ability to just say,

275
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: all right, it's going to keep getting retooled around me.

276
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: Maybe we get another run, maybe we don't. Right, Steph

277
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: Curry Warriors are listed here, and you see all the

278
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: trade different permutations that folks are coming up with. He

279
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: had the ability, they won, They had a dip, but

280
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: they were able to get back to the top of

281
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: the mountain. And now you're looking at a guy who's

282
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: in the final couple of years of his career. It

283
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: would be shocking if suddenly he were wearing other laundry.

284
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 3: For Giannis, he's in year thirteen, fourteen of this odyssey,

285
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 3: and while he's only thirty one, he's a big man

286
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: that's played a lot of basketball, a lot of postseason runs.

287
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: Maybe they can get all the way, but that's an

288
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 3: extra month on your body. Yeah, and it adds up.

289
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: So you know he's looking at his basketball mortality as well.

290
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: All right, I did that once. That was fun, But

291
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: am I resting on that? Like that's where you have

292
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: to decide, like this is cool? I'd like to be

293
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: a one team guy, but is it?

294
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: Do? I want to cap this frustration because that's, as

295
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: you said, it's three plus years of all right, we're okay,

296
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: we go on mini run, but we're not sustained success

297
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: and we're early outs in the playoffs. So what am

298
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: I doing now? I'm just running in place. I'm running

299
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: up the proverbial hill. O stop stop stop? Why'd you

300
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: have to Did you do that whole thing? Just to

301
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: end with that? Just yeah? I had it all scripted

302
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: right here on this piece of paper. Thanks Arian Foster,

303
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: thanks a lot. Yeah, great, right here?

304
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 5: What is that?

305
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Mike Harman?

306
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: I think it says Miami Minnesota Warriors.

307
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,560

352
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: Day two brought us way more drama than I thought

353
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: it was gonna bring us, because we got incredible stuff

354
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: from Tom Brady and a voter who didn't vote Belichick

355
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame spoke out. I said, last night,

356
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: why are you doing this? You're never gonna It's not

357
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna go well for you. People are gonna ask for

358
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: your job, and shockingly, the reason the guy gave. I

359
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: think everybody can get behind. Well, but it's something we

360
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: said as an ancillary, secondary kind of thing. It's like

361
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: because there was.

362
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: All the hate vitriol that that flowed as Belichick, this

363
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: leaks out.

364
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: This is what when you know they don't really love

365
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl because norm believe this is under lock

366
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: and key until the day of like get that out there,

367
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: start slopping that off like a rocket shawshank. So you

368
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: have that, don't forget. You also got some more un hings.

369
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Johnson, So that was that was nice. Jimmy Johnson

370
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: seems more med than anybody else.

371
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 2: He's more med.

372
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: It's like, I know, but like, dude, come on, man,

373
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: you're calling people blanks in Europe. Jimmy Johnson is really

374
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: fired up.

375
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: Well, but he's a guy with what thirty years ago

376
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: today the Cowboys won their Super Bowl, right, I mean,

377
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: you're going back a.

378
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: Long long time. I've been retired for you. Show me

379
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: how this Twitter works. Hey, So I want to say

380
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: something about Bellick that cameraon Let's go Dad, you really

381
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: want to call him a blanke? Yes? Put it out though, Okay,

382
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: I'll put doumble up. But Tom Brady weighed in on

383
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: his thoughts about Belichick not being a first ballot Hall

384
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: of Famers on seven to ten AM in Seattle earlier

385
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: today and said, well, it wasn't quite on the field,

386
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: but other reasons why Belichick didn't get voted in.

387
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 5: I don't understand it. I mean, I was with them

388
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 5: every day. If he's not a first bout Hall of Famer,

389
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 5: there's really no coach that should ever be a first

390
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 5: bout Hall of Famer, which is completely ridiculous because people

391
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 5: deserve it and he's incredible. There's no coach I'd ever

392
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: want to play. I'd rather play for it. If I'm

393
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 5: taking one coach to go out there to win a

394
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, give me one season, I'm taking Bill Belichick.

395
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 5: So that's enough set. There's nothing outside of that. You

396
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 5: know again, when he comes down to votes and popularity

397
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 5: and all that, like, you know, then welcome to the

398
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 5: world of voting, and you may as well go, you know,

399
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 5: try out for the Oscars or whatever, and you know,

400
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 5: get a big candle to tell you if you're good

401
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 5: or not.

402
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: A tryout for the Oscars. That's not how it works.

403
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: It's quite not it, but but I get it. Let

404
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: me just say this with all due respect. You guys cheated,

405
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: You got caught cheating. That's what a lot of people

406
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: had problems with. Look, Jason Cole joined us last night

407
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: pro Football Hall of Fame voter, and he said, yeah,

408
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 1: people in the room had a problem with some of

409
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: the Belichick stuff. You know, implied spygate was a thing.

410
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: It was a big cheating scandal, man. And if you

411
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: say I can't vote for him because of that, and

412
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: you stick with that, not just say well, I'm gonna

413
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: do it for a year, because that's just stupid. The

414
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: guy's either Hall of Fame or is not. If you

415
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: stick with that, I respect that. Tom Brady wants to

416
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: Oh it's personalt. No, dude, you guys got caught. Let's

417
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: not pretend that that didn't happen. Because what's surprising to

418
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: me the last twenty four hours is that nobody likes cheating.

419
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: Nobody wants cheaters and in sports at all, unless it's

420
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: keeping Bill Belichick out of the Hall of Fame. We

421
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: don't want the astros cheating. We don't like Spider Oh oh,

422
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: but this is good. Belichick's the best coaches here. But no, real,

423
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: spygate was a really big deal, man, of all the

424
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: unprecedented things that happened with suspensions and all the lengths

425
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots went to get vis of other teams, like

426
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: this was a big deal, and it's like, oh, well

427
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: because it happened in the early the in the two thousands,

428
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna we're not gonna talk about that. No,

429
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: that's a thing, man. You gotta own that that Spygate

430
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: was a thing. This is not just because hey, Belichick's personalities. No,

431
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: it happened because there was a big scandal that you cheated,

432
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: that you guys benefited for. So understand that and that

433
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: the whole shock suddenly where people want to pretend Spygate

434
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: didn't happen, Well it did. I'm sorry it did. And

435
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: this is coming from a guy that I would have

436
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: voted for him for the Hall of Fame if I

437
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: had a ballot, because I think he's a Hall of famer,

438
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: absolutely hundred percent hall of Famer. But come on, man,

439
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: that's a big part of things. That's a huge part

440
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: of that. Well, I mean, you go back to two

441
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: thousand and seven. We talked about it last night. You

442
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: go find the full version of it, of the discussions.

443
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: But we'll do the cliff notes here of second year

444
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: in Goodell's reign. And if this was legitimately something that,

445
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: if the tapes got out, was going to rooin the

446
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: sanctity of the game, then the destruction of them doesn't

447
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: help because like, all right, exactly was on there? Because otherwise,

448
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: all right, let's see whatever footage you got, because it

449
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: comes back to being an unauthorized position from which you

450
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: were taping because you were allowed to do it. Right,

451
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: there's coach from Mike Shanahan. There's quote, wow, that was

452
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: you know, we should have done that, We should have

453
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: done this, and and a lot of coaches, yeah we

454
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: did that or some variations. Right when we get to

455
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: the idiocy that was to flight Gate, but the length

456
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: of which the Patriots went to to your video and

457
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: and and illegally video tape, they tried higher that's uh,

458
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: I mean I get that the whole Hey, if you're

459
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: not cheating, you're not trying. Other teams have tried this, No,

460
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: but they, I mean, they tried to take this thing

461
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we can win championships if we really

462
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: go next level and illegally get all the hand signals

463
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: and everything else. But it's like anything, right, you know

464
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: when you're when you're younger, like say, when I had

465
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: my my two little girls, and you know, you might

466
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: have had some.

467
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 3: Fresh bake cookies. All right, you see twelve up on

468
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: the platter. All of a sudden, there's eleven. All of

469
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 3: a sudden, there's ten, and all right, you get you

470
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: get have one. No, all of a sudden, that's six,

471
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 3: or you don't give an inch take a mile, right,

472
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 3: all of those lines that you've heard forever, same thing here.

473
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, where's the letter versus spirit of

474
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: the law? And you decide how much it taints, and

475
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: particularly after Spygate's done, and they still go on to

476
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 3: win a ton, right to see the argument we have

477
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: with a lot of the baseball guys, and remember even

478
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 3: your most ardent supporters of things, where they're stumping for

479
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 3: players and for the greatness of the game while it

480
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: economically benefited into the high order, until all of a sudden, Wait,

481
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 3: Congress and other people are going to get involved to

482
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: start looking into what's.

483
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: Going on here. Yeah, no, when it went back, but

484
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: those guys lose high Bob and everybody coming back to

485
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: the game all these years later, but you have all

486
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: of that where suddenly you're the sanctimonious You're like, no, no,

487
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: this is all wrong. It's like, no, no, you were

488
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: there and watched it for a decade or two decades,

489
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden it's wrong. And with Belichick,

490
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: it's like it goes again to where we're drawing the line,

491
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: and it's just kind of funny to me. And obviously

492
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: we have to wait a full year to just figure

493
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: out how many of the conscientious objectors to the Bill

494
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: Belichick entrance to the Hall of Fame will hold that

495
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: position in year two. Own just to own that Spygate happened.

496
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: Let's not because it's like we want to broad brush

497
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: it away. No, it's a really, really big deal. It's

498
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: the biggest cheating scandal the NFL has ever seen. So

499
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: let's understand that that's part of it too. That's part

500
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: of who Belichick is now. The other part today was

501
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: something I was not seeing coming, but it did. Vaje

502
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: Gregorian and Gregorian chances that people will like his explanation

503
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: is a writer for the Kansas City Star and as

504
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: a Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, he is the

505
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: first voter to talk about why he didn't vote for

506
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick for the Hall of Fame. Right Kansas Star.

507
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: He wrote a column on it earlier today, and I

508
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: didn't see this coming, but I should have because it

509
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: goes back to what I said last night about what

510
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: John Clayton would always tell me about the Pro Football

511
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. He would always say when we talk

512
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: about coaches for the Hall of Fame and guys like

513
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: Tom Floris were on a long wait and all this like,

514
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: and he always told me the same thing. Now, the

515
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: players get in first, Jason. The players always get in first.

516
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 4: Right.

517
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: He told me that for you a decade, the players

518
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: always get in first. So Gregorian says that he really

519
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: wanted else Greenwood, Ken Anderson, Roger Craig to get in

520
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame because he felt they were Hall

521
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: of Fame players and this might be their last chance,

522
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: and so he wanted to make sure he voted for them,

523
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: thinking that, well, Belichick will get in at some point,

524
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: but this is the last chance for these guys. And

525
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: he talked about the rules that the Hall of Fame

526
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: has with voting, and when Jason Cole joins us on

527
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, right, we joined

528
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: this last night. The first thing he always tells us

529
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: is the way the voting goes, because I don't think

530
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: enough people understand that the voting is a way where

531
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: you have to rank your choices and list people, and

532
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. For the Hall of Fame. This

533
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: is not just X on your ballot. If you think

534
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: the guy's a Hall of Famer, you have to figure

535
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: out and do it however you want to craft it.

536
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: And so Gregorian's attitude and strategy of well, look, of

537
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: course Bill Belichick's a Hall of Famer, but these guys

538
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: are this is their last chance to get in. And

539
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: he's been covering the NFL for forty years, so you know,

540
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: I say, Kenny Anderson's a Hall of Famer, and Roger

541
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: Craig's a Hall of Famer, and so is els Greenwood. Right,

542
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 1: Elsie green has always been very underrated because he's on

543
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: that well he gets lost with Lambert and Ham, sure,

544
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: of course, but that's his philosophy. And I got to say,

545
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: I understand it, and I get it, and I get

546
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: why he didn't vote for Belichick, because yes, the players

547
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: get in first. And this is more an indictment for

548
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: Gregorian of the system than it is. Oh, you didn't

549
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: vote for Belichick because quite honestly, this is a guy

550
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: that's covered the game, and now I don't know what

551
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: kind of blowback he's going to get. I hope he

552
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: doesn't get any because this is someone who clearly put

553
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: thought into why he voted the way he did. You

554
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: can like it, but this guy, this guy has earned

555
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: the right to vote how he wants because I feel

556
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: these guys are getting it now. Maybe he didn't take

557
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: into account. Boy, how it's gonna look if Belichick doesn't

558
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: get in, but other guys that are great, great coaches

559
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: haven't gotten in on the first time. Okay, I don't

560
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: think anybody saw this kind of blowback. I didn't see

561
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: it because I didn't think Belichick was gonna get in

562
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: because I'm like, yeah, they're gonna hold Spygate over him,

563
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna hold how he treated the media over him

564
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: people who were voting, so I didn't expect him to

565
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: get in. But that's one thing I don't think they saw.

566
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: The blowback for Belichick was going to be this, How

567
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: does a guy that's the best coach you've ever seen, X, Y,

568
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: and Z not get in? But I can't argue with

569
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: this because he came at it from a perspective of

570
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: this was my thought. This wasn't I didn't like Spygate.

571
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: This wasn't the flate gait was terrible, This wasn't. No

572
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: he you know, he told me to go spit when

573
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: I asked him a question he didn't like, you know,

574
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: at a press conference in twenty seventeen after an AFC

575
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: championship game. You could not like it. But he's reserved

576
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: the right and deserves the right to have this opinion

577
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: of it, and I get it. And if you have

578
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: a problem with the way the voting goes, I think

579
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: that might be where you can go for this and say, Okay,

580
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: if you really want to talk about Belichick getting screwed,

581
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about how the voting went. Because clearly every

582
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: voter we have on wants to talk about the process.

583
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: I want to say, listen, before you rip me or

584
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: rip this, let me tell you what the process is like.

585
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: And that's their way of saying, maybe the process isn't

586
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: the best in the business and we need a change

587
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of things

588
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: that come into this, right because you have the other

589
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: calls for not just the changing of the process, but

590
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: a reevaluation of who constitutes those fifty voters at this

591
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: point in terms of age, experience, All of those things

592
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: gender to a degree. But it's a different line, and

593
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: we mentioned it yesterday, and those guys caught strays in

594
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: the discussion because well, they've been out of the game

595
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: for thirty years, right, Roger Craig's last year was nineteen

596
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: ninety three, Anderson's was eighty six, and Greenway, it goes

597
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: all the way back to eighty seven, and so you've

598
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 1: had ample time to get them into the Hall of

599
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Fame and to move Now you want to argue about

600
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: whether a coach should be able to go in, because

601
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: I heard some arguments and discussions of hey, maybe they

602
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: thought he'd come back to the league, So why vote

603
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: on it. Now you talk about spygate to flight gate

604
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: and whatever percentage you get to that you get into

605
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: the treatment of professionals, which again that pettiness and silliness

606
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: of it doesn't shouldn't affect your vote in my thinking,

607
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: because you didn't get the great quote you need. You

608
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: probably got a better quote if.

609
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: He brushed off, but if he gave you a long

610
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: soliloquy about something, as much as I loved listening to

611
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: five minute diatribes about coffin corner punts specialty all those years,

612
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: but it's the idea of coming forward and just saying, hey,

613
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: the players needed their shine before they fall to the

614
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 3: next group of retired players that'll come up for the

615
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 3: ballot and the evaluation. And Jason Cole, you know, as

616
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: you said, he prefaced it right away, going, hey, this

617
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: may not be the best way, this new way that

618
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,479
Speaker 3: we've done it these last couple of years. But but

619
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: for Belichick, also part of his uh the logic from

620
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Star was yeah, he'll get in. Well,

621
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: you you took your tact and now we wonder, okay,

622
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: the other ten plus because we still don't know what

623
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: that official count is. We know it's less than thirty,

624
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: less than forty. That's all we know, right, could be

625
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: twenty people that have been lying and saying they're voting

626
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: for him the whole time.

627
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: Boy Bill Pollian's Bill Pollion's whole thing. Hey, everybody, just

628
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: say you're not sure who you voted for. Now I

629
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: need you to pump in some crowd noise. If we're

630
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: going to talk about about one hundred percent I voted

631
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: for I need you to flood a field.

632
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: If you're Don Shula, I am, so it's tougher to

633
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: get to the ballot bottom.

634
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: I stop bringing up that AFC Championship game, mud, But

635
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard everybody put a halo

636
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: on it and get it. Oh maybe I'm only eighty

637
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: five percent. I voted for Bill Belichick. No, I don't know.

638
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: I voted for Bob Pollian. Hey, hey, hey Peyton lost again.

639
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: Pop up that crowd going. I think I'm only fifty percent.

640
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: I voted for hang On. Was he even on the ballot.

641
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: If he was on the ballot, I think I may

642
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: have voted. He had a red statement today that if

643
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: you believe any of it, I got a bridge to sell.

644
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: I vote for you. I'm thirty seven percent that I

645
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: voted for Bill Belichick for the whole half.

646
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: But all of that say, I love that he wrote this,

647
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: and I'll be curious to see what the final vote is.

648
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: How many of those three guys get in, because even

649
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: in his article, he goes, I really thought when I

650
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: started voting in twenty one, Roger Craig was already in Yeah,

651
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 3: because I think it's really surprising the folks that have

652
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 3: followed the game a long time.

653
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: That it's not yeah exit about a Fresco exit swollen dome.

654
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Mike Harmon Again, maybe directing your anger at

655
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: the voting process is the way to go on this time?

656
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: How to find out what's trending for someone who's been

657
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: called the Hall of Fame voter herself because she didn't

658
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: vote for Bill Belichick either, it's Monty Belagno's I.

659
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 4: Did it because I don't have the vote, but one

660
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: thousand percent I would have voted for him.

661
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: I can't believe we're even talking about this. This is stupid.

662
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 4: Not a first time ballot Hall of Famer.

663
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 2: Get out of my face.

664
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: Did Tom Brady text you and tell you to say that? Yes?

665
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, that's my biggest flex. Oh good, okay, good, okay.

666
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: Yes, Tom Brady and I text each other.

667
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Well if that's the case, I have some questions.

668
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 4: Well you know, yeah, also, listeners, I'm kidding, No, why

669
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: don't talk.

670
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady was certain drops to start flowing. That is

671
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: a lie.

672
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 4: But absolutely he should be a first ballot Hall of Fame.

673
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: I guarantee you this. If your boyfriend's listening, he just

674
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: turned pale, going, wow, Brady's texting my girlfriend. Oh no,

675
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: you haven't told me. That's the biggest flat.

676
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 4: You haven't let me talk to him about deflagate.

677
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: What. Well, that's the part here, guys.

678
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 4: Obviously, if this is how people feel, then that means

679
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 4: Tom Brady's not going to be a first ballot Hall

680
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 4: of Famer, And that is psychotic.

Speaker 4: when Belichick says thank you, but no thank you in

692

Speaker 4: a year?

693
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,200

00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: you get to be the play of the day to

768
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 1: Dutch it lead again. Boy, right under the basket is Lebron.

769
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna learn well, baby not but they get a

770
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of that on tape. Well, that ary news you

771
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: can do when a guy ruins the floor and coast

772
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: up that zep give me paint. Lakers TV on the call,

773
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: Hey Lebron James to night eleven points, five assists, six turnovers.

774
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: Not a great night. Uh, not great, Bob. They couldn't

775
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: see through the tears. They lose to the Cavs one

776
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: to ninety nine. Okay because Giannis is coming. Yeah, well okay,

777
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: And here's the thing is we We've said this for

778
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: a long time Lebron's gonna end his career with Cleveland.

779
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: I kept saying for and it still could happen. The

780
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: Lakers may just want to buy him out when we

781
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: get to the deadline. But seeing Lebron's reaction tonight, He's

782
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: not going to have this be his final season where

783
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm playing the number two, number three guy on the Lakers.

784
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: When Austin Reeves comes back to Luca, he is absolutely

785
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: gonna go back for at least one year with the Cavaliers.

786
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna have his farewell year. He'll announce one year,

787
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: try to get a ring, and that way, even if

788
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't end with a championship, it ends with a

789
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: year long celebration of his career. There is no doubt

790
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: in my mind he's already wearing a patch with himself

791
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: for see that reaction tonight. He's doing one more year

792
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be with Clays. No other place he's

793
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: gonna go. He's gonna start at home. I'm just a

794
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: kid from Akron. I went back to Cleveland. I'm going

795
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: to finish in Cleveland. One more year. Absolutely gonna happen.

796
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 3: You don't think he was doing the Joey Triboni tweezers

797
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 3: thing to get himself to cry.

798
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I change my lines, like I go

799
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: instead of saying it looks like it's over there, I say, hey,

800
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: it looks like it might be over there. But yeah,

801
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: in terms of how how this ends, it's he had

802
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: every chance before the season, and he knew this was

803
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: not going to be clean, so going to clear. It's

804
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: so gonna end in clear because he doesn't want to

805
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: end like Aaron Rodgers didn't want to end with the

806
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: way the Jets was. Now I'm trying to figure things out. Hey,

807
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: end as well as it could with the Steelers. Now

808
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: it might not be over because Mike McCarthy's back. I'm

809
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna go back. Lebron's gonna want one year

810
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: of of of of I would say expectation free year,

811
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: because yes, you expect to make he expects to make

812
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: them better. He can have his won last year. This

813
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,240
Speaker 1: is all about Lebron and clearly he can still play,

814
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: and he's still play at a high level and may

815
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: help them get over the top in the East. But

816
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: if they don't, well, well, this is my final year

817
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 1: and they're saying goodbye to eight and two in their

818
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: last ten up to a top five seed. As we

819
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: entered play tonight, you look at the opportunity and look

820
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: all the trade stuff is always curious because we talk

821
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: about the money, you talk buy out potentially, I still

822
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: have to look at my squad and say how much

823
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: of my rotation has to change?

824
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 5: Now?

825
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: Look twenty two, six and six. I mean, it's nothing

826
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: to sneeze about.

827
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: Now.

828
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: It's all in a minus in the plus minus because

829
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: he plays no defense, so that part of things is

830
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: certainly coming back to potentially kick force all of this

831
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: to kick Rocks. But with Cleveland, yeah, I mean it

832
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: would be a nice emotional like he wants to go

833
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: back on a minimal kind of deal, than great. But

834
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: if it substantive money's I mean, he's not gonna get

835
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: the fifty three again. But if it's something that's going

836
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: to preclude you from keeping your core together, it's something

837
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: you really got to think about. I mean, sure you'll

838
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: get box office, you'll make money on the deal, but

839
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: does it make you a substantively better team having him

840
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: in that locker room? Yeah? And he answers, I'm not sure. Look,

841
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it's going to be Lebron. It'll be finessed

842
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: and it will be Lebron. Say listen, I understand it's

843
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell driven this team. I'm coming in and and

844
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: and now I can dictate the terms rather than the

845
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: Lakers dictating the terms of this season. And hey, we're

846
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: Luca driven. Now, now we're Luke in Austin Reeves driven.

847
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: I understand this. I could take the step back and

848
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: be the old grandpa and everybody can talk about fun

849
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: things and aha, and I can make the whole season

850
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: a celebration of my career and I can treat it

851
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: that way because I'm dictating the terms, which is what

852
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: he's wanted to do. But he did by opting into

853
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: his fifty three million dollars. He dictated no, but he

854
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: made it. I'm going to make this hell for all

855
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: of you. Yeah he did. And he knew that coming back.

856
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: You can't tell me he didn't know that it was.

857
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 3: Going to be awkward and miserable for as long as

858
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: he was on this roster, trying to fit going, still

859
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 3: exerting his his larger personality and will on the squad.

860
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: But I don't know that he felt he had a

861
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: choice if I leave it looks like I'm leaving, and

862
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: it looks so I have to do one more year

863
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: here before I leave. I can't. I can't just walk

864
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: away and say, Okay, it's not gonna be being Luca.

865
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: And I don't think he knew that Austin Reeves was

866
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: going to explode the way it did, because that happened

867
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 1: early on in the season. I think that was a miscalculation.

868
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 1: But if they bring in Giannis and he's the fourth dad,

869
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: so yeah, look for Lebron in Cleveland, that one hundred

870
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: percent Lebron will finish in Cleveland next year. Now what

871
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: about Jannis. Four teams the top of his trade list

872
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 1: that potentially could put together the biggest offers for him, Miami,

873
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves, the Knicks, and the Warriors. Lakers not on

874
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: this list yet, justin yet. I mean, boy, the Lakers

875
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: could really screw Lebron by trading him to Ah. He's

876
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: gotta wave his no trade too. That's the other thing.

877
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: But we got a big story out of the NFL

878
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: and the one team that is above everybody else that

879
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: I expect Giannis to get traded too. That's
