And we were getting ready to go 43 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: over the show, Martin, and then all of a sudden Bam. 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: The Celtics said, we don't like none of y'all except 45 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, and they're getting rid of somebody else too, 46 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: and that is Christop Porzingis this just coming out that 47 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: he is going to be traded to three way trades. 48 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 4: So looking at that right now. 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 5: Got Boston Atlanta Brooklyn three team trade Christaps and a 50 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 5: second round pick from Boston to Atlanta, Terrence Man and 51 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 5: Atlanta's twenty second overall pick to the Nets George Niang 52 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 5: and a second rounder back to Boston. 53 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: So it sounded like Boston just wanted to get move 54 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: on essentially from porzingis number one. Unless I'm missing something. 55 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: Has it come out what his issue was during this postseason? 56 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 4: No, I have not seen that reporting, right, and I 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 4: haven't seen it. 58 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: And it's kind of just one of those things because 59 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum goes down and that obviously hogs all the 60 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: headlines and so we stopped talking about it. But that 61 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: was just strange and he wasn't right, something respiratory, and 62 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: he just he never looked right, and they were trying 63 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: to give him some minutes, and you thought, all right, 64 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: Tatum goes down, you still got Jaylen Brown and if 65 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: you have a eighty percent Christap pazingis, then you feel 66 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: all right, we got a shot with all the rest 67 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: of the guys, and he just never could get right. 68 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: And that's why I think this trade is easy for them. 69 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: Obviously there's more trades to have conversations about, specifically this one, 70 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: because I think for them it's kind of easy to 71 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: move on when I never really had you, you know, 72 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: and he hasn't been able to play much last season. 73 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: He was in and out the postseason exactly, and ultimately 74 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: because they were so low that they won three balls 75 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: going for him, they and they were deep. But then 76 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: this year out all the time, and he's been historically injured, 77 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: injury prone, whether it was with the Mavericks, whether was 78 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: it with the Knicks. 79 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 4: So I think for them, sure, in. 80 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: A perfect world, wouldn't we want a seven foot three 81 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: guy who can stretch the floor. 82 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: Shoot. It's still relatively young and you know, can still produce. 83 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: But if he ain't there, well we always talk about 84 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: availability being the best ability, and that's not the case 85 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: for him. So to me, they had to do what 86 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: they had to do, and they're on fire right now. 87 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: Whole sale. Anybody ain't make a call right now if 88 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: you wanted somebody on this roster. Phone lines are open. 89 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: We got multiple phones. There's a bat phone if you 90 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: really want something good, called the batphone. And to me, 91 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: the Celtics are open for business. 92 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: Martin. Yeah, this was I mean. 93 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 5: And the first sign up obviously of that was the 94 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 5: trade of Drew Holliday. 95 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: Are there? All of these are reported right now. 96 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 5: They can't be done until I can't can't stand it, 97 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 5: like they get over it. 98 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 4: Where the scap opera. It drives me nuts. No, just just. 99 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 5: Confirm it, Just confirm it. Just let it be done. 100 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 5: The draft is tomorrow. They're gonna be apporting two chums 101 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 5: and the rest of them who say this is gonna 102 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 5: be very active draft. 103 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: Like we're seeing picks get moved left, right and center. 104 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 5: We've seen two picks get traded in the last two 105 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 5: days right and in this draft. And they're gonna be 106 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 5: kids who get up there and wear the wrong hat 107 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 5: switching caps, say it's stupid anyway. As of about eight 108 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 5: o'clock Pacific time, Christaps Warzinga's posted on Instagram, thanks for 109 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 5: all the supporting questions about my health with the little 110 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 5: heart signed emotion that the kids do. 111 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 4: Now you know the thug's doing it. Two though, it's 112 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 4: kind of weird. I just said to kids. 113 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 5: In general, I tied, I don't even pretend to know 114 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 5: what they You know, gen Z is weird. 115 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: I watch line. I've seen some people. That's a weird 116 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: time to throw a heart up after that. 117 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 5: Also, couldn't imagine celebrating a championship such as that. I 118 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 5: actually yelled at some interns at work today and like, 119 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 5: what do you do for fun? Anyway, he says, I've 120 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 5: been feeling excellent all off season and looking forward to 121 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 5: a healthy and strong European Championship tournament with my national team. 122 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 4: So you're expecting him to play with this national team? 123 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 5: Source actual Christaps Porzingis on Instagram, but he won't be 124 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 5: playing for the Boston Celtics as his NBA season comes 125 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 5: back into your point. They won like the year prior, 126 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 5: so three years back now, which is ancient history in 127 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 5: the NBA world. It was they have to get a 128 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 5: stretch big, they have to get a stretch big. They 129 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 5: have to get a stretch big. Then they went and 130 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 5: got Christaps Porzingis, and apparently it didn't matter if they 131 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 5: all they needed was him on the bench. All they 132 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 5: needed was him on the roster instead of actually needing 133 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 5: him to come and be a major impact postseason player, 134 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 5: because he wasn't able to do that in either post run. Obviously, 135 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 5: the one last year ended in the title, this one 136 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 5: in the second round. But this was the writing on 137 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 5: the wall for the Celtics all like and at every point, 138 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 5: no matter what happened this year, this team was going 139 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 5: to be too expensive for everything to continue to go 140 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 5: along the way it was. Jason Tatum's achilles injury makes 141 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 5: it just clarity, like, Yeah, the Boston Celtics that you 142 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 5: have known over the last nine years, the ones that 143 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 5: have been in the Eastern Conference Finals that when you 144 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 5: trade for Anthony Simons is dead in that moment. 145 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: And you speaking to Anthony Simons. So a lot of 146 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: these trades are depending on how you view them. If 147 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: you're the team. Some teams may fay, know, this makes 148 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: sense for us, we got it. Some makes sense for 149 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: long run, like we're just getting ready, we're gonna open 150 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: up the books, get some money. We know we're a 151 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: few years behind now, and some teams feel like we 152 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: got a trade actually actually do something, And to me, 153 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: I know it's a conversation about for you, you feel 154 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: like none of these will actually amount to anything since 155 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: for who. 156 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 5: So to me, we're seeing all these all these trades 157 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 5: get done, right, we see so many different and this 158 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 5: is a big thing. We're gonna see how like Kevin Durant. 159 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong, Major Domino, but they're gonna be 160 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 5: Oh what is what is Kris Stap's gonna do with Atlanta? 161 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 5: And what is all these different moves as they're made? 162 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 5: Because Drew Holliday is gonna get traded again, probably he's 163 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 5: not gonna be in Portland, and we'll see a ton 164 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 5: of moves get made. I'm here to tell you that 165 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 5: there's no reason to get excited for any of them 166 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 5: unless the guy coming back to your team is Devin Booker. Okay, 167 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 5: Devin Booker right now is the only player that is 168 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 5: like reasonably available right now. Just for the record, I 169 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 5: would have thought that Luka Doncics was not reasonably available. 170 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 5: So I'm talking about what used to be reasonably available 171 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 5: before Nico Harris. So in the post, in the pre 172 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 5: Nico world, what's reasonably available the guys who are the 173 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 5: Drew Hollidays and guys are potential to be move Kevin 174 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 5: Durants and so on, Janna Santa tocoupos. Devin Booker, to me, 175 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 5: is the one that you can get him on your roster. 176 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 5: You can walk in and take you from a team 177 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 5: that is competing for out of bordering a playing spot 178 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: to top four in your conference and looking at the 179 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 5: conference in a way of like we are real and 180 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 5: we are competitors. Like we looked at saying the Western 181 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 5: Conference in a way like, Okay, the Rockets were a 182 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 5: two seed, but a lot of people were like, they're 183 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 5: not a real competitor, and sure enough lost in the 184 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 5: first round. 185 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 4: I'm talking about you. 186 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 5: I'm talking about you looking at a team up there 187 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: like the Lakers were a three seed. 188 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 4: They thought we were real competitors. Obviously lost, But. 189 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 5: The point is, are the Cleveland or whoever those teams 190 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 5: that win in the regular season. Also when it gets 191 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 5: to the postseason, you're like, these are the teams that 192 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 5: are the favorites among the. 193 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 4: Top six that could win a title this year. 194 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: I hear you, and I can't even say that I disagree, 195 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: because I think Devin Booker is that good and I 196 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: think he's just been having a bad rap because we forget, 197 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: dude went to the finals a few years back, so 198 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: it's not like he's just been in the seventh eighth 199 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: seed all his career. We're just like, man, no, this 200 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: guy can play, and he's had some success and had 201 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: an opportunity to go to the finals and you know, 202 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: have a chance to win one. But I do think 203 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: there are certain players who can still make a difference 204 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: who maybe aren't household names to the non obviously who 205 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: do what we do and talk sports for a living. 206 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: There guys like now that I know the Celtics are 207 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: opening the phone lines Martin, but hey, new ownership, can 208 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: I get a guy named Derek White? Cause I think 209 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: Dereck White is the type of player that going to 210 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: a team that is a contending team, say a Cleveland 211 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: for instance, a team that was like, man, on record, 212 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: we have the best franchise winning record that this franchise 213 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: ever had. We should have been better with number one 214 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: seed in the East, this is about to be our season. 215 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: To me, I look at a guy like a Derek 216 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: White and I'm like, maybe that's a piece. They need 217 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: a tougher guy, a versatile guy, a proven guy who's 218 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: been there in the Championships, and he can do multiple things. 219 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: Tonight you might just need me give your ten and 220 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 1: play point guard back and Okay, tonight, you might need 221 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: me to just play defense and do this guy tonight 222 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: you might need to drop thirty. He's been capable and 223 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: able to do that. I think there are a handful 224 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: of non Devin Booker style moves that can be made 225 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: to those teams that are that are leading. 226 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 5: And I think if you are an average team and 227 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 5: you added Derek White, you can become above average. I'm 228 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: saying if you are, if you're aighteen, like right now, 229 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference, if you are from from the tenth 230 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 5: seed up to the first seed, should be thinking we 231 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 5: have a shot without a doubt. I don't here, So 232 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 5: that's what I'm saying, like right now it is. That's 233 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 5: how wide open it is. With the injuries that we 234 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 5: have had from the premier juggernauts, I think you have. 235 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 5: Cleveland right now is the prohibitive, off the top of 236 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 5: my head, favorite in the East because of the health 237 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 5: and what they all got back, coming back, Coach of 238 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 5: the year, coming back. 239 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 4: The Knicks don't have a coach, or they'd be the favorite, right. 240 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, the only team that would to 241 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: hear this and be like, don't forget about this will 242 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: probably be the Knicks thinking now we're the we Now 243 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: after this season, we should be the ones. 244 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 5: And I did this exercise thinking something that I'm sure 245 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 5: you probably thought as well. How many teams in the 246 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 5: East do I get to before Detroit is a real contender? 247 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: So I told I don't remember we talked about this 248 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: off the air, owner, I think there are minimum looking 249 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: at a three seed, and. 250 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 4: So I'm sitting on three four five. 251 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 5: I'm writing the same boat with you, thinking and how 252 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 5: the matchup plays out, you can be looking at a 253 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 5: conference finals type of run because health and who you 254 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 5: got coming back. So to me, if I'm like and 255 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 5: I don't think the Pistons are quite in it. I 256 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 5: think they're a little above average after last year. But 257 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 5: if you're telling me I could put a package together that. 258 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 4: I don't think you're losing your maybe you're not. As 259 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 4: long as I. 260 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 5: Can keep my best player, right, if I'm not selling 261 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 5: my entire best player for it, and I can add 262 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 5: Devin Booker, I'm doing that. Like the Houston Rockets are 263 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 5: able to keep their best like they're they kept everybody 264 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 5: they wanted to keep just about and. 265 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 4: Add Kevin Durant. That's the goal. I don't want to. 266 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to essentially subtract by way of addition, 267 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: meaning like I lose too many people. Okay, yeah, I 268 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: got him, but I had to give up him and 269 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: him and him. What was the point we brack in 270 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: the same spot. And you see a teams, a lot 271 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: of teams do that. You give up so much to 272 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: get a Kevin Durant's Like, do you know you got 273 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: to have Kevin Duranty trying to grab rebounds and dive 274 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: into the stands and save balls and play defense. Devin Booker, 275 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: you know that's not what you got. So you got 276 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: the same guys who can score. But who's gonna round 277 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: out this thing? Where's your depth? And I think that's 278 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: what messed up the Sons. They had no depth they 279 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: had and that's. 280 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 4: What the Suns. Remember how this all played out? 281 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 5: So they go to the finals, all right, then Chris 282 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 5: Paul obviously they move on to death and John Giannis 283 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 5: has the block of one of them, one of the 284 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 5: best blocks there. And we have not seen or heard 285 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 5: from DeAndre Eton since put out the APB unless you know, 286 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 5: the only person who as is Afrety Simons, because they 287 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 5: want to say that's it, they missed each other. But 288 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: I haven't heard from DeAndre eight in the competitive basketball 289 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 5: since that moment. Right, And from that, the team gets sold. 290 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 5: They trade a boatload of packages for Kevin Durant, who 291 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 5: comes in the end of the turns his ankle eight 292 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 5: that was in the pregame warm ups, right, they made 293 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 5: him to go. 294 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 4: They traded for him to go in the postseason run. 295 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 5: He turns his ankle pregame warm ups in a freak 296 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 5: accident and nothing comes to fruition. Before they can do 297 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 5: anything else, they trade for Bradley Beale, who Washington was like, 298 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 5: wait a minute, do you mean Brad I'm talking about 299 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 5: brad Lee Beale, the one that's been here when the 300 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 5: car They were shocked and they were able to make 301 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 5: that move. It was the worst trade in the NBA 302 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 5: when it happened. And now it's the worst contract in 303 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 5: the NBA, and it was before they traded for. 304 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: And what they not only the financial end of the contract, 305 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: the fact that it's a no trade clause too. So 306 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: it's yeah, I think that he is with them, like 307 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: to say that Devin Booker can't elevate what seems to 308 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: be an incredibly dysfunctional scenario situation, one of the most 309 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: dysfunctional situations, probably. 310 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 4: In professional sports is one thing. 311 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 5: And don't tell me he can't play high level winning 312 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 5: basketball because I watched him do it all summer. 313 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 4: And we saw what we saw you in the Olympics. 314 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: We've seen him do it. I think two. Sometimes this 315 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 4: happens in all things. 316 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: This can be applicable to regular life, It could be 317 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: applicable to relationships. I think you can come in over 318 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: zealous and I'm about to show you I'm approven winner. 319 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: And I think this new ownership came in trying to 320 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: prove we'll spend any kind of money. This is what 321 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: we do, we know what it takes, and ended up, 322 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: like you said, making moves just to show we got 323 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of money. We're here to make moves. We're 324 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: gonna win it all costs. When it's like sometimes slow 325 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: money is better than no money. Right, Let's hold on, 326 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: Let's make some smart moves. Let's do some things. They 327 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: came in with all the bravado. Look what we're about 328 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: to do. Because we're big, we're bad and I won 329 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: doing real estate or whatever doing Michigan, and so it's 330 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: to me they came in trying to showcase what they 331 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: were doing and they ended up making some bad moves 332 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: on that as well. Go ahead, And I know a 333 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: ton of people right now because are probably sitting there yelling, 334 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: what about the Orlando Magic? 335 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 5: Right they've been back to back playoffs. You know, they 336 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 5: traded for Desmond Band. That's kind of my point. We 337 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 5: have seen all these teams and I guess you know 338 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 5: they traded for Band. They gave up all those picks. 339 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 5: They didn't able to give up anything that they wanted to. 340 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 5: Actually they kept their core. But most of these moves, 341 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 5: excluding that one, have been people tearing down rosters. Whoever, 342 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 5: who's going to take the swing? 343 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 4: And I think Desert Band. I'm not saying it's more of. 344 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 5: A four iron than a driver, you know what I'm saying, 345 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 5: It's not necessarily like a full three hundred yard Barry 346 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 5: Bond's level swing. Who's gonna go out there and a 347 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: save matt Ishbia from himself and also give yourself a 348 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 5: real shot to walk into the conference finals in the East. 349 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: Well, that leads to to the conversation of who in 350 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: the East can really walk away with the East?

I want to go 378 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: back to one thing we're talking about, Martin a team 379 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: that I just sit here and think really specifically in 380 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: the East, now that we have all these moves. If 381 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 1: you don't know, Christoph porzingis traded going to Atlanta as 382 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: a three way deal, A couple of players, a couple 383 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: of picks. I look at the Knicks, but we kind 384 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: of talked about it for a brief second. I go 385 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: back to the Knicks. 386 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 4: Who at the base of the core the players is there. 387 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: I think this will be year going in the year 388 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: two of the karl Anton Towns Jalen Brunton experience. I 389 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: think there's a lot to be learned there. I think 390 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson will realize he doesn't have to have such 391 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: a high usage rate, that hey man, you can move 392 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: the ball a bit. And I think the next coach 393 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 1: will say, hey, I need to develop a bench is 394 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: more and obviously I'll be on the team general managers 395 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,479 Speaker 1: to get some help. But I look at that if 396 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: they can figure this coach thing out, because I was 397 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: never in favor. I'm not an evangelist for Tibbs, but 398 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: I am an evangelist for a couple things. 399 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 4: In sports Martin, Okay. 400 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: Number one in identity, like let's say yes to you 401 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: was d'An TONI sure never won anything but seven seconds 402 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: or less. You knew what you're gonna get for the 403 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: most of his career, not all he was exciting. You 404 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: knew what you're gonna get. Fast paced. They were in 405 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: postseason a lot you had a chance to win, never 406 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: ultimately won. But we saw great hey James Harden and 407 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: those Houston teams. We saw what Steve Nashal is doing 408 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: through Sunseyes. An identity, you can pick the sport you know. 409 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: If it was I don't care if it was a 410 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: team that's all defensive, like the old early two thousand Bucks. 411 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna beat you fourteen to ten, but you knew 412 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: what it was. Baltimore Ravens ray Lewis, we might beat 413 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,239 Speaker 1: you three to zero on a field goal. I need 414 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: that in my sports and I thought Tims brought that 415 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: to the Knicks. Tough, gritty, every time you think the down, 416 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: they come back, they win. And obviously they had a 417 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: leader in Jalen brought so to me back to back 418 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: fifty plus wins, eleven playoff wins. 419 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, we have something. 420 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: Is he Phil Jackson walking and you know, reincarnated out 421 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: of fields dead? But you know what I mean coming 422 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: back to the Knicks. No, I don't want to let 423 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: that go guy go unless I have an amazing contingency play. 424 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 4: We're letting you go because this is happening. 425 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: They let them go, and they've been calling everybody getting 426 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: denied Quinn Snyder, was it not? They were denied or 427 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: quest to talk to Quinn Snyder now, so they're out 428 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: here desperate. 429 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 4: There's a I'll put it like this. 430 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 5: We were talking about Vent diagrams and the break the 431 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 5: Vent diagram between Oh my gosh. 432 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 4: I'm forgetting the agency. All these coaches are wrapped by 433 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 4: the same agency. I forgot THEAA. 434 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 5: And the Van diagram with them and the guys who 435 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 5: got contract extensions, you know, So thank you to the 436 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 5: Knicks for you know, getting everybody more money on their 437 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 5: current deals. But here's my thing, you don't have to 438 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 5: fire so like you know what the people. I think 439 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 5: people are getting too caught up in the idea of like, well, 440 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 5: what was your plan? Like you absolutely had to have 441 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 5: the next option available immediately. However, I think you should 442 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 5: have had a short list, and on that short list 443 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 5: you should know immediately that these are guaranteed yeses, right, 444 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 5: Like that's what it should be. Like if I know 445 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 5: for a fact, if I offer this job to this person, 446 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 5: I have a yes. And if that short list, that 447 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 5: short list seems that it couldn't have been so short 448 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 5: for the Knicks, And I think that's what that's my 449 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 5: problem is. And honestly, I don't think they were planning 450 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 5: for this, because I think they were gonna be just 451 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 5: fine until James don't gonna walk. 452 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: Through the sound James don't keep exactly who by the way, 453 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: a couple months prior says I think our problem is 454 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: we fall in love with the shiny thing, and we 455 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: want to go on to what's next, and we want 456 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: to do something bigger and better. I think that's our problem, 457 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna be better at that and 458 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: then they do this, so I completely agree. It's like 459 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: prom bro, you gonna have a cup. Listen, you gotta 460 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: have a backup date. Sure, I'm going for her, but 461 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: I know she gonna say yes, especially this day and age. 462 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: So let me hold the yes over here.

This is what we 514 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 3: met on June twenty four, June twenty fourth, two thousand 515 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 3: and three. We got engaged on June twenty fourth, two thousand, 516 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 3: June twenty four, two thousand and four, got married on 517 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 3: June twenty four, two thousand and six. It was one day. 518 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 3: That's what it is. 519 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: Day smart man, robb G, rob G count of how 520 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: you keep going? You got nine of them? Not to 521 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: make my daughter's birthdays as well? All right, man, to 522 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: the to the sports side of things. Everybody's for sale 523 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: if you are Celtics right now, I mean every every 524 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: hour and a half, your phone blowing up with a 525 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: new new bomb that then dropped about who's getting traded? 526 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: Latest is porzingis going to Atlanta. But Martin and I 527 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: were talking I just said, this just made sense to me, 528 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: considering availability being the best ability. He ain't been available 529 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: most of his career, but especially for the Celtics last 530 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: couple of seasons. 531 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 4: So it makes sense to you. 532 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. But we talked about this with the 533 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: new collective bargaining agreement kicking in that teams weren't gonna 534 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 3: be able to You can't support now two you know, 535 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 3: players eating up six there's seven hundred million dollars and 536 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 3: expect to keep you know, real valuable assets, the holidays 537 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,959 Speaker 3: and porzingas, all of that, the Derk White. Some something's 538 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 3: got to happen there. It's it's impossible for teams now 539 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 3: to be able to have three dynamic all star caliber 540 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 3: players making max contracts. It's not conducive to the way 541 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 3: they set up the first and second apron with the 542 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: with you know, teams usually just pay their luxury tax 543 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 3: and they're like, okay, it's fine, that's not an option anymore. 544 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 3: And it's just too expensive. Man. So we we knew 545 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 3: that the Celtics were going to look different. They tried 546 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 3: to sneak one more championship in before they had to 547 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: blow that thing up essentially, but it's it's you're going 548 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 3: to see a lot of movement, right. The draft is tomorrow, 549 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: but you're going to see a lot of movement with 550 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 3: teams trying to position themselves in cut some of these assets. 551 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 5: Now, you started today talking about this is the day 552 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 5: of love? Is night eighteen years? You said, right, not 553 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 5: twenty nineteen. 554 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 3: Nineteen, Get together twenty two because nineteen. 555 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 5: The other person I heard today talking about a lot 556 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 5: of peace and love and also talking about almost two 557 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 5: decades is Aaron Rodgers. You said, I played twenty freaking years. 558 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 5: I want to finish with a lot of fun and 559 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 5: peace and love. Now, I know you guys will get 560 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 5: to twenty one and twenty two and twenty three, and 561 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 5: also you keep going to infinity. Aaron Rodgers sounds like 562 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 5: he's going to get to twenty and done or twenty 563 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 5: one and done. Do you think this is a distraction 564 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 5: for the Pittsburgh Steelers going forward or what's your take 565 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 5: at They finally get them and they said, you get 566 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 5: me for a year, and that's probably gonna be it. 567 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 3: I think that's what they knew, and I think that's 568 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 3: what those players on the team expect. I don't think 569 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 3: it's a distraction because you're essentially just renting a quarterback 570 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 3: to see if you can get over the no playoff 571 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 3: win hump, right Like, So you've done it with young guys, 572 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 3: You've done it with guys you've drafted, you've done it 573 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 3: with other free agents. Can you bring in a former, 574 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: you know, four time MVP, a former Super Bowl champion 575 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 3: and kind of catch lightning in the bottle similar to 576 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 3: what Brett Farv in this position after he left the 577 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: Jets and went to Minnesota had one of his best 578 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 3: years on record. And so you're the Steelers are trying 579 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 3: to rent that for one year. I'm sure they're not 580 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 3: expecting Rogers to be there more than one year, absolutely not, 581 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 3: but they do want to get to the playoffs, and 582 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 3: they do want to win a playoff game. And then 583 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 3: we'll start this whole quarterback conversation all over again next year. 584 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: This time, which is stupid, which is why me, you 585 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: and Rob for the last couple of months have talked 586 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: about this, and me and Rob's one of the things 587 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: we argue about the most typically is you call call 588 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: it in and have to talk calm us down. 589 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 4: Is because what the heck of the Pittsburgh students, Steelers doing. 590 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be one of the blue bloods, one 591 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,959 Speaker 1: of the more well run franchises, and not out here 592 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: looking desperate. 593 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 4: I expect desperate from the Panthers. 594 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: I expect desperate from you know, maybe the Jags, some 595 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: other teams, not the Stills. And to me, this is 596 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: just a desperate move just to win max nine games 597 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: or so, and they had to start over. And what 598 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: was the point of that when you could have kept Field, 599 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: you could have got somebody young, you could have kept 600 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson or something. I just don't understand it to me, 601 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: So I just I'm always gonna be baffled by it, 602 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 1: this move with the Steels. I want to go back 603 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: to the NBA for a second here a little bit 604 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: and talk about what we saw with the Rockets now 605 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: acquiring KD. We all kind of have a conversation with 606 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: you before. What makes sense? What's a good landing spot? 607 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: Now he is a Rocket once it's official. I always 608 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: liked that, said that was the best fit to me, 609 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: been saying it for a few weeks. Now he's landed there. 610 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on KD? Does this change the 611 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: scope of the Rockets in the being contenders. Well, I 612 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: think so. 613 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 3: But you know what people aren't talking about is Katie 614 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 3: finally lands at a spot where he's going to be coached. 615 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: Right Like, so outside of them leaving and going to 616 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 3: Golden State and being coached by Steve Kerr, everything after 617 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 3: that has been kind of like a dumpster fire. Right 618 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 3: you go to the Nets and you got the Steve 619 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 3: Nash coaching you and you have a podcast where you say, 620 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 3: maybe we're all the coaches, we don't need coaching. This 621 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 3: is this is going to be an opportunity for someone 622 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 3: like Kevin Durant to be coached. You know, coach I 623 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: Doka is one of the dopest and dynamic coaches in 624 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 3: the league. I mean, he would still be at the 625 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 3: Cultics if that whole, you know, all court thing didn't happen. 626 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 3: But he's shown he can take a young, talented team 627 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: and mold them in a year and get them to 628 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 3: where they're They're the second seed and a loaded West, 629 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 3: I mean a shootout West. They were the second seed. 630 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 3: And so having a player the caliber of KD and 631 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: the coaching that he's going to receive, I think it 632 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: bowls well for both. He needs a coach. As we 633 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 3: you can see, he needs someone who's good with the 634 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: ex'es and o's because to be the actual leader, he's 635 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 3: not that guide, that vocal leader. He's just gonna go 636 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 3: out there and play and give you everything he's got. 637 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 3: But being on a young team and the coach being 638 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 3: who the coach is, I think that's where the leadership 639 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: comes from. So I think it both Will for and 640 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 3: the Rocket. 641 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 4: Salam Joinings hero on the odd couple. Martin Wison for 642 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 4: Rob Parker. 643 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 5: I got to ask you somebody who actually went through 644 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 5: the draft process and was selected by a professional team 645 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 5: and then showed with what incredible speed in relative to 646 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 5: your compatriots that you were in the starting lineup. So 647 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 5: you were drafted and showed your way to be an 648 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 5: impact player for your organization very very early in your career, 649 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 5: day one in your career. What do you make of 650 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 5: guys manipulating the draft process or not participating in the 651 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 5: draft process when they're you know, have these high rankings 652 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 5: are deemed to be going high. 653 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 4: Ace Bailey is the most recent one. 654 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 3: Well, look it to me, it doesn't matter the only 655 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: thing that matters is when it doesn't matter where you 656 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 3: get drafted, How you get drafted. The thing that matters 657 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 3: to me is what happens after you get drafted. So 658 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 3: you can have all of this contention and do this, 659 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 3: I want to do it this way. All of that's 660 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: out the window after you're actually picked by an organization. 661 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 3: And now that's when the clock starts. How fast can 662 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: you adjust from the college game or the G League 663 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 3: game or whatever to being a viable a piece of 664 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 3: the puzzle to win? Like for me, you know, I 665 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 3: was fourced on the depth chart, but in six weeks 666 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 3: made my way up to starting right tackle. I didn't 667 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 3: even play right tackle, but I did everything it was 668 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: supposed to I was supposed to do once I got 669 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 3: to the organization to give me the best opportunity to 670 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 3: start and help the team, and I did.

As you can imagine, right 801 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: he's sitting there.

He said it's the mental hurt 805 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: more than the physical. But his point was, I would 806 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: do it again if I had, He said, one hundred 807 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 1: times out one hundred, I'd do it again. 808 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 4: There's no way. You never know. 809 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: I'm really I wanted to fight for the city, five 810 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: for this team, and I mean that's just that is 811 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: the exact response I expected. Yeah, I've made a chance 812 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: to go to the finals. I mean to be in 813 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: the finals, a chance to win the finals. And not 814 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: to mention Game seven, you already hit a few threes 815 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: in the first quarter, feeling good, this is my Knights, 816 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: feeling like it's already been a magical run for me. 817 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: It's just gonna be an epic all timer and then 818 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: that happens.

But I think athletes 825 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 5: make like I get, every Sunday, there's guys making this choice, 826 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 5: and every Sunday they some guys come off the field, 827 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 5: some guys get helped off the field. Every basketball game 828 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 5: there's guys making this choice, and we give guys a 829 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 5: lot of trash for load management and resting and so on. 830 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 4: And I that's why for me, it's a sports content. 831 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 5: I don't do that because I don't know what it 832 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 5: feels like to go out there and have to do 833 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 5: my job when it hurts. 834 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 6: You know. 835 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: It's funny sometimes we think about the the NCL, the ACL. 836 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: You pick an l that hurts, and when I sit, 837 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: I've talked to uh, you know, just you know what 838 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: we do ross ex athletes.
