Long time friend of the show, 35 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: NBA Insider sports ket to CBSTV here in Los Angeles, 36 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: athlt sports as well. He's got a lot of gigs. 37 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Mark g Underscore Medina. It is 38 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: Mark Medina. What's happening man? How are you? 39 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 3: I am doing well? I mean, Jason, why are you 40 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: going on vacation before you can see the Summer League 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: championship unfold. And two, I thought you were gonna wait 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: until Lebron makes this decision about going to the Knicks. 43 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: Okay, A, I can still watch the game even if 44 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm on vacation. I mean, I'm not gonna not watch. Okay, 45 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: because Harmon's got again. Harmon's got his kids college money 46 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: on the outcome of whoever he winds up betting on, 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: So I gotta be there for him on that. Gotta 48 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: be betting on. Motivation in the NBA is tough in 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: the regular season, let alone summer league. Now, I will. 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 3: Tell you this. If you thought that the Oklahoma City 51 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 3: Thunder didn't know how to celebrate winn an NBA championship, 52 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: will you just watch this Las Vegas Summer League team. 53 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: They might just be barely dallasing every one with water. 54 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: Hey, look, I watched last night the Knicks loss of 55 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: the Pacers. Again, what else is new? Now? If you 56 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: tell me that the Knicks are going to get Lebron 57 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: James in the next few days, maybe I'll postpone my 58 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: vacation so I can do this. Do you notice is 59 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: that gonna happen with the Knicks getting Lebron James. 60 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: You know what, Chason, I often get your hopes up 61 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: about the Knicks, only then to deflate your feelings. Sure, 62 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: he's not going to the Knicks. I think, unlike a 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: lot of compelling scripts in Hollywood, this ends in a dud. 64 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: That he comes back with the Lakers in a uniform. 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: I think it'll likely be his final season. Maybe there 66 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: is a scenario that he rides out this season with 67 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 3: the contract and plays next season on that kind of 68 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: minimum deal so he can go to Cleveland. But if 69 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: I had a guess, I think it's final year with 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: the Lakers and joining the farewell tour while hoping that 71 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: he can also win a championship. But now that's a letdown. 72 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: That's a letdown. That's that's a real like how much 73 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: you know both sides want to move on from each other. 74 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: That's a life enjoy. Jalen Brunt To remember that magazine 75 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: article I showed you from Lindy is about where I 76 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: said that Jalen Brunton has the case to be the 77 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: greatest Nick of all time. 78 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: Oh that is true. No, that is true. He would 79 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: still be the greatest Nick. It would just be he 80 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: would do it and Lebron would put him on his shoulders, 81 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: and that would be the statue they put outside of MSG. 82 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: Oh wow, yeah, you know what, maybe he does that 83 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: vet minimum next year. There's always the chance that he 84 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 3: rides out in the sunset New York. 85 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 1: Look at that. He's just giving you that glimmer of hope, 86 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: just to screw with you a little bit. All right, Mark, 87 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: let's stay with the Lakers. Did the would be trade break? Dalton? 88 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: Connect your reparaly forever? And what the hell happened with 89 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: Bronnie James? Hed done? Grown up really fast? 90 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: Hey, look, you know what, maybe this should compel lebron 91 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: James and Rich Fault a lot out of statement that 92 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: because of how great Bronnie James has played, he affirms 93 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: that he's one hundred percent committed to the Lakers. On 94 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 3: the other hand, maybe this is finally the thing that 95 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: mad makes a deal with Lebron James possible. Or are 96 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: they throwing a sweetener that is browny The teams will 97 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 3: actually think it's an asset that they're package deal. You 98 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 3: never know, and maybe that Nick will like him as well. 99 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: All right, now he's hitting you with a club, as 100 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: I know, right, Yeah, Well, he's like bam bam and 101 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: the Flintstones bam bam. Keep hitting you all right, now 102 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: you go Acrosstown to the Clippers. You haven't been on 103 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 1: this again on your Twitter at Mark g underscore Medina 104 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: the Clippers getting Bradley Beal a couple of days ago. 105 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: I gotta say, Mark, Yeah, Bradley Beal is nice. But 106 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: I know how the season's gonna end for the Clippers. 107 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: They're gonna win forty five ish games. They're gonna lose 108 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: in the first round. Because you're built around guys who 109 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: are in their mid thirties. They don't suddenly get younger 110 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: and suddenly get better. That's how the year is gonna 111 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: go for the Clippers. 112 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm I actually, I think you're right. 113 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: I mean this whole idea that Clipper fans and the 114 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: Clippers should feel encouraged about Kawhi Leonard because he got 115 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: through a postseason healthy. I think you know, that's the 116 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: same thing as you know, landing on seventeen in Rolette 117 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: and thinking, Okay, just because I did it once, I 118 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,119 Speaker 3: can do it again. The reality is we've seen Kawhi 119 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: Leonard's injury history. We've also seen James Harden's playoff history 120 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: may as well be on the sidelines as well. Bradley Beal, 121 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: I know, talking to his agent, Mark Bartlestein, you know, 122 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: he's saying that he's better with his recovery. He's just 123 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 3: looking to bulletprove his body in the offseason. He's a 124 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 3: lot better conditioning than he was health wise in Phoenix. 125 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: The Clippers are talking about how they want him to 126 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: be the best version of himself and feel like he'll 127 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 3: play a lot of starters minutes, being All Star, all 128 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 3: that good stuff. I think that can play out, but 129 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: the reality is Bradley Beal's injury history is what it is. 130 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: So I'm with you that the Clippers are going to 131 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 3: be competitive but not great. They'll get to the playoffs 132 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 3: in the first round and that's probably it, and it's 133 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 3: going to be the same old story. They have Kawhi Leonard, 134 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,679 Speaker 3: James Harden. They're good, they have a good supporting cast, 135 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: but it's not quite good enough. So I think really 136 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 3: the only realistic pathway for hope here is because they 137 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 3: made that tough but necessary decision of not extending Norman Pale, 138 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: they do have some cap space to work with, you know, 139 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: to make a big deal next summer, So who knows, 140 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: Maybe that means Janna Thompson Koupo comes to LA but 141 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: with the Clippers and not the Lakers, or who knows, 142 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: maybe it's Nicola Jokic. We'll have to wait and see. 143 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: But whether it's those blockbuster deals or you know, two 144 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: solid kind of deals, the Clippers are more lined up 145 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 3: for long term success, success and all of a sudden 146 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: becoming a contender this season. 147 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: You mentioned Jannis now former teammate Damian Lillard goes home. 148 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: How does that resonating throughout the league? 149 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think on one hand, it's kind of a 150 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: feel good moment. I was listening to Mark Stein's interview 151 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: with you the other day, or you know, the romanticism 152 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: of reuniting the fact that they're on better terms now 153 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: after kind of the ugly departure. That's a cool thing. 154 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 3: I think the other cool thing is that he can 155 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: spend this entire season rehabbing his achilles close to families, 156 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 3: still have a presence around the team with this young 157 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: this young group of players. But at the same time, 158 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 3: I think he's also choosing his team that's not quite 159 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: ready to make that you know, championship contending leap, So 160 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: you know, I know one of the reasons why he 161 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: wanted out of Portland is he felt like, even though 162 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: they're making the playoffs every year, they weren't in that 163 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: contending status. But I think at the end of the day, 164 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 3: he was also mindful that even if he joined the 165 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 3: contender this season, he's out for next season, so that 166 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 3: idea of being part of a championship team's gone. And 167 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: I think the other thing is even these contending teams 168 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 3: have a lot of question marks on whether they're true 169 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: contention status. Outside of Oklahoma City, which wouldn't have been 170 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: a viable option anywhere, everyone else has legitimate question marks. 171 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: So with Portland, they're not a contender by any means, 172 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: but they do have a good young nucleus. And you know, 173 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 3: I was attatched Summer League. One of the cool things 174 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 3: with seeing young Hanson in person, he's a legitimate center 175 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: a lot of great excitement, obviously because of the Chinese market, 176 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 3: but you know, they're calling him the Chinese version Nikole 177 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: Jokic for a reason. He has a great combination of 178 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: power and skill that makes me suggest that he's going 179 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: to be a pretty specially unflatter now. 180 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: Now, so speaking of summer, we're getting ready for the 181 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: Championship on Sunday, right, We're seeing teams get you know, 182 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: get there, and what could be a game that dozens 183 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: of people watch? Uh, give me a big story that 184 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: you like from the Summer League that maybe not quite 185 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: getting the attention of Will Lebron get traded, Damian Lillard, 186 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: Bradley Beal. Yeah, give me something from the Summer League, Like, hey, 187 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, I really like this story. 188 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well I would say what I would just mention 189 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: about young Hanson that he came out of nowhere. I 190 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: mean there was a lot of intrigue in buzz when 191 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: he got drafted. I know Jake Fisher said that some 192 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: people said that he is Chinese version of Jokics, but 193 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: actually seeing him in person and just really galvanize the 194 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 3: excitement in the arena. The Blazers are playing games at 195 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 3: like seven point thirty eight o'clock at night, and this 196 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: is in Las Vegas, and usually now is the time 197 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: to go get dinner, getting early see at the casino tables. 198 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 3: And it was a pretty riveting crowd. The best atmosphere 199 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: I saw outside of Cooper Flagg's debut as well as 200 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: you know, coinciding with Brownie James's return. So I would 201 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 3: say that's the next real good stories. I think the 202 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 3: other part, yeah, there's obviously the headliner with Cooper flag 203 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: and all attention on him, But I think the cool 204 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: part was how he responded the summer league that even 205 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: though none of this stuff matters and the fact that 206 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: he didn't shoot the ball well really means anything, he 207 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 3: was legitimately pissed off about it so much as trainer 208 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: Matt McKenzie told me that he was upset the next 209 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 3: day after it and talking about what he needs to 210 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: do to adjust, and there was never any concern about 211 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: it because of this summer league, but provided an early 212 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: window that this guy really really hates to lose, and 213 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: you put that into context of the regular season him 214 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 3: gained tested as a rookie. I think he this really 215 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: illustrated that he's all about the right things as far 216 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: as his compeative spirit and work ethic. That was really 217 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: cool to sue. 218 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: Now, did you see the video that was circulating Klay 219 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: Thompson making seventy two straight three point shots? What's your record? 220 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: Yeah? I hear there's some connecting the dots on why 221 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: that is because of some dif some things going on 222 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 3: in his life. 223 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: Right A little bit is that, Hey, if I was 224 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: dating making the stallion I hate, gave me the ball. 225 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: I'm ready, I'll make seventy two in a row. Right here, 226 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: I go. Go. Women don't weaken legs. That's what he's 227 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: trying to show. I can have both. 228 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean happy, happy wife, happy wife, happy 229 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 3: significant other, all that stuff. 230 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: I think. 231 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 3: The other thing that we're seeing with Clay is that, 232 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: let's be real, ever since acl Achilles injury in twenty 233 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: nineteen twenty, he's he's never been the same player, never 234 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: will be the same player, especially defensively. But as a shooter, 235 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: those things can carry through. So even though his roles 236 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 3: evolved with Golden State, his roles evolved with Dallas, He's 237 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: still a pretty effing good shooter. And I expect that 238 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: now that he's more settled into Dallas and there's less 239 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 3: turbulence about, you know, adapting to playing with Luca Dodgics 240 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 3: than adapting to not playing without Luke and all the 241 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 3: different injuries, You're going to see a much better version 242 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: of Clay on the offensive end next season. 243 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: All right, Mark, let's end here now as we get 244 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: set for the last month before we you know, everybody 245 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: goes away vacation. You know, we thought we could get 246 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: some big trades. You're telling me Lebron's going to wind 247 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: up staying are we going to see any more any 248 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: more big trades? We saw a lot of activity in 249 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: and around the draft and trades. Are we going to 250 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: see any big trades between now in the beginning of 251 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: the season. 252 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: Well, you never say never. I mean, I think it's 253 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: telling that even though the Milwaukee Buck said that they've 254 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 3: been in constant communication with Giannis Antokumbo and nothing's changed. 255 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 3: You know, he's doing his Instagram Instagram live video saying 256 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 3: he's probably he's probably going to be back with the 257 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: Milwaukee Bucks. All that, that probably still left the window 258 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: for other teams to be determined to give the Milwaukee 259 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 3: Bucks different trade packages. So if there is a major deal, 260 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 3: I think it's going to involve that. But you know, 261 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: if I had to put money and look, I took 262 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: your guys advice about how to gamble in Vegas last 263 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 3: week did not work. But if I had to put 264 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 3: money on, I don't think that there's going to be 265 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: major trades. All the major things already happened, Kevin Durant 266 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 3: gain trade as Houston, the surprise with the Milwaukee Bucks 267 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: waving and stretching, Damian Loward, and then Damian joining Portland. 268 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 3: I think now it's just going to be all different 269 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 3: kind of chalk things about where does Jonathan cominge go? 270 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: Is you come back to Golden State as their actual 271 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 3: team that wants to sign him after not really gaining 272 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 3: any offers for the first three weeks of free agency 273 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 3: and then other rotation players. But major things uh, not 274 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: gonna happen. 275 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he's on Twitter at Mark G Underscore Medina. 276 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: That said, Mark g Underscore Medina. Mark is always buddy, 277 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: appreciate you popping on with us as always.

Okay, at the end 285 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: of a game, just give the ball to Brunson. There 286 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: we go. 287 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 3: That's it, Hew of a coaching advice. Continue to invoice 288 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: James Dong. 289 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: Take it easy, buddy, have a great weekend. 290 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: You two guys. 291 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: Hey, Mark, there we go. Uh yeah, I mean look, 292 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: I would love to say there would be a trade, 293 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: but look, it all goes back to what we've talked 294 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: about is that if a star wants a trade in 295 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: the NBA, he's got to be a being the bad guy. 296 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: If you're not okay being the bad guy, you're not 297 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna get traded. Teams are gonna hold on to you 298 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: and try to make it work, and they're not gonna 299 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: give up a star because it's so hard to replace you. 300 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: We've seen. If you want a trade, you can be traded, 301 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: but you have to be the bad guy. Lebron will 302 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: get traded in a second. If he says the Lakers 303 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: buy me out or trade me. Guess what Lakers would 304 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: buy him out or trade him. They would figure something 305 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: else out, even if the buyout doesn't make as much sense. 306 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: If Lebron said buy me out, the Lakers said, wait, wait, wait, wait, 307 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: how about a trade? Okay, now, a trade would happen, 308 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: right if Yanna says, I want to get traded. You 309 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: gotta trade me. The Bucks would trade him, but they 310 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: have to be okay being the bad guy to say this, 311 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: and so far none of them, no stars are okay 312 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: with being that bad guy. Lebron, give us back fifty 313 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: one point six million of what you're expected to get 314 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: this year and we can talk. But it would also 315 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: be that thing like we talked with Mark Stein yesterday, 316 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,479 Speaker 1: like they're not gonna let him walk away to a contender, 317 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: right because even if you got some of that money back, 318 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: what the hell can you spend it on right now? 319 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: The confetti? Yeah, confetti in your next bobblehead. I mean, 320 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: that's it. That's all. You none a lot in the 321 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: marketplace to go get for improving. So Lebron will just 322 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: have to smile and get through his season exit out 323 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: by a Fresca exit swalling down the Jason Smith Show 324 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Carmon. Now, there's times we're 325 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: ahead of the curve when hey, we have a big 326 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: take and we tell you that, hey we've thought about 327 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: and done research on and done our homework.

The Jason Smith Show with my best 345 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Uh. You know, we often like to 346 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: say how we're ahead of the curve here on the show, 347 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: because we are. Sometimes we're a day ahead, sometimes we're 348 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: a week ahead, sometimes we're months ahead. But I think 349 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: we have a new definition for being ahead of the curve. 350 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: Because we have an ahead of the curve heat check 351 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: that we got, right, Mike Carmon, okay, chick heat check 352 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: ahead of the curve that we had last night. So 353 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: it was about, i'd say, a couple hours into the 354 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: show last night when the breaks that NFLPA leader Lloyd 355 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: Howell Junior was resigning from his position to position that 356 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: to Morris Smith had for so many years. And this 357 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: wasn't surprising because about ten days ago we got the 358 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: story that the NFL and the NFL Players Association colluded 359 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: together to keep guaranteed money down from NFL contracts following 360 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson's ridiculous contract that the Browns decided, we're going 361 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: to upset everybody by doing this. They guaranteed him two 362 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: hundred and forty million dollars and that upset everybody, teams, players, everyone, 363 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: So there is evidence because Pablo Torri, who now finds 364 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: everything out chef a podcast calling it that that'd be 365 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: a great idea, found out that, yes, their collusion existed 366 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: between the NFL the NFLPA horrible headlined wait a minute, 367 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: this is a union that showed that we are working 368 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: against the people that I'm here to represent. So that night, 369 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: we said, Lloyd Howe, when everybody else, all of the leadership, 370 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: Treader and everybody, they all need to be replaced, to 371 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: be swept out. This is awful, right. I get that 372 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: it's a it's a bit of an inside baseball story 373 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: where we're talking about money in the NFLPA. But bottom 374 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: line is this, for anybody who's ever joined a union, 375 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: you pay dues to a union so they protect you, 376 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: not so they can be in league with the corporation 377 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: and they can wind up hurting you. So that's something 378 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: a lot of us have gone through. So I thought, Okay, 379 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna let let go. But no, it doesn't happen. Okay, 380 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: well let's let's see how things go. Maybe they're gonna 381 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: be doing it very quietly. And then yesterday the story 382 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: breaks that JC Treader, who also is on the leader 383 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: leadership board, according to Pablo Tory, had the story that 384 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: he told running backs, when you come up for contract, 385 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: exaggerate an injury to give you more leverage, and contract 386 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: talks whoa, wha, wha wait, noh, so lie about an 387 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: injury to get leverage, and contracts are like whoa, whoa, whoa. 388 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: Now this is not anything in league with the NFL. 389 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: This is something will be against the NFL NFL teams. 390 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: But here's another example of leadership being in a position 391 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: where what are you doing? Right? So that happened early yesterday, 392 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: and then about nine o'clock last night we got word 393 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: that Howell resigning as head of the NFLPA. Okay, and 394 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: then you said to me, there was this time last 395 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: night you said, boy, Jason, doesn't this feel like a 396 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: Friday night news dump story? Like this would be something 397 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: that you know, eleven thirty on a Friday night, Hey, 398 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: I'm resigning as NFLPA head, And oh my goodness, all 399 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: this controversy and by the time we get to Monday, 400 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: it's all gone. We're on to other things. It's Friday 401 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: night news dump and this is our heat check ahead 402 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: of the curve moment. Because I said to you, well, 403 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: maybe they got to get ahead of something that's gonna 404 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: drop on Friday. And we laughed because I don't know 405 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,959 Speaker 1: anything except but sure enough, what happened today. Lloyd Howell 406 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: resigned last night because a report that comes out today 407 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: that there were documents showing he charged the union for 408 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: two visits to strip clubs, including a seven hundred and 409 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: forty dollars car service that took them from the airport 410 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: to one of the clubs. Happened in twenty twenty three. 411 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: Happened not too long ago, where he took these receipts 412 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: and charged them to the NFLPA. That was what he 413 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: spent at Tutsi's Cabaret in Miami Gardens, a seventy six 414 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: thousand square foot venue. Billing itself adds the world's largest 415 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: strip club. Quote full nude, number one rated. That is 416 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: your former NFLPA executive director. I'll tell you that's a 417 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: heat check ahead of the curve by carbon. Who were 418 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: you ahead of the curve? All nude taste, tastefully done, 419 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: ah medefinitely, all nude. Go back to that Timberwolves ESPN 420 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: the magazine ad all those years ago. Yeah, there's a 421 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: lot that goes on with this, the next levels of 422 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: this right text messages between owners that are collusive in name, 423 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: in nature and nods and wings and you know that 424 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: again way to go, but really without colluding towards anything. 425 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: Just hey, you'll be happy down the line. Okay, cool, 426 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: So you got that. You got this is a great line. 427 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: This Pro Football Talk had this quote from NFLPA Lead 428 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: Security Officer Craig Jones earlier quote, and this is about J. C. 429 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: Tredder quote. He is the progenitor of this whole tawdry 430 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: episode of posers like that. That's good a person or 431 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: thing from which a person, animal, or plant is descended 432 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: or originates. And then Ben Bolan a few hours ago, 433 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 1: longtime NFL writer at Benvolan, here's the evidently the text 434 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: of a well a text that's going around. We know 435 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: Trader A bent the rules to hire Howell, be covered 436 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: up Howell's background check. There was a thing back in 437 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: twenty eleven that you know, I had to add a 438 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: bunch of tawdry stuff going on. Three had a knowledge 439 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: of Howell's financial arrangement with the Carlisle Group. Four kept 440 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: the arbitration decision from his members. Five kept the arbitration 441 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: decision from his members that found that he blatantly violated 442 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: the CBA. So all of that, that's your leadership, right. 443 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: We go back to Demorris Smith, he wrote a book 444 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: and whatever else because some of this is on his watch, 445 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: going back to Deshaun Watson's deal and the initial reaction 446 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: from owners, all of that. So You've got that into 447 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: this and now it's it's about seven hundred and twenty 448 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: eight dollars. Car service is the thing that brings him down, 449 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: not all of this other stuff. I mean, that's all 450 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: with the great background noise. Now it's about a car 451 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: service at a strip club. What a clown show man, I mean, 452 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: what a look. Everybody's got to get swept out. You 453 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: gotta go out. I'm with hiring Tony Dungee. I'm with 454 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: hiring Rod Smith. He's the player that every former player 455 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: I've ever talked to says, oh yeah, if he was 456 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: commissioner of the NFL would be great. Like, you gotta 457 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: do something. All of these guys need to go right. 458 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: This is so incredibly embarrassing, not just for the players 459 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: but for the league itself, Like you have a guy 460 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: that was running things that was colluding to keep salaries down. Meanwhile, 461 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: but I'm still gonna build a players association for my 462 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: visits to a strip club, which is car service and 463 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: the money I spent, including cash withdrawals from a club 464 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: atm and using a VIP room from a few months ago, 465 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: like this is this is where we are. Hey, I 466 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: want to make sure it's a lot of money. We 467 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: want to we got to keep that money down.

Okay, I'm just gonna invoice you 471 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: for it. Like this is like I see this and 472 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: I go this is the highest level of sports, right, 473 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: this is the this is the gold standard of business 474 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: and money making. And here's where we are. We're talking 475 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: about collusion and deception. And Yeah, I'm gonna have so 476 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: much hubris and think i am so far above repro 477 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: coach that I'm gonna put my career in jeopardy by 478 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: not just going to strip clubs, but by billing the 479 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: union for it. Like like I understand thinking, Hey, I'm 480 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: teflon and it's not gonna come back to me. But 481 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 1: you're a really high ranking person in the NFL payer. 482 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: You're the highest ranking person in the NFLPA. You're very 483 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: high profile when it comes to labor negotiations. Everybody knows 484 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: who you are.
