The Lebron James decision, and it really was 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: something simple. As I said before, I didn't think he 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: was going to Philly, but Philly made the most sense 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: because I thought they had the best starting lineup and 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: this came down to best place to win a championship. 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up.

All of that forthcoming. 23 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: One of our favorites, former NBA great Jim Jackson. A 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: little bit later on his opinion on Lebron going to Philadelphia. 25 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley, former sixer, didn't mince words. He was on 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: the Stephen A. Smith Show on Friday. 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: Initial reaction upon here in the news that Lebron James 28 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: is going to Philly. 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: Uh, shocked because I want him to go back to Cleveland. 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 3: I mean, he has no affiliation with the seventy six ers, 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: but the number one knock on Lebron, Yo, man, you 32 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: always stacked in your team. He's stacked it in Miami, 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: He's stacked it in Cleveland, He's stacked it in LA 34 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: Now he's stacking. 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: It in Philly. 36 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: He's always stacked his team. 37 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: I have no problem with what Lebron James did. None. 38 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: At this stage in your career, you can do whatever 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: you want. You want to go back home, just to 40 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: go go back home now you do have a great 41 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: chance of winning with that lineup. If he wanted to 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: go back to Miami, because why not go to Miami. 43 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: You want to go to Philadelphia because you have the 44 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: best chance to win. You've earned that right chasing rings. 45 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: If Jiannis didn't want to go to Miami, he would 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: have told the Bucks, I don't want to go to Miami. 47 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: Why did he go to Miami? He probably thought he 48 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: had a better chance of winning there. If the Knicks 49 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: didn't win the title this year, I think Giannis would 50 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: be a New York Knick and Karl Anthony Towns wouldn't 51 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: be there, or Lebron might be a New York Knick. 52 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: But I don't know. If you go, I have a 53 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: chance to decide where I want to go. Let me 54 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: go to a worst situation. Who does that? You know, 55 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going to the Nets. If he had 56 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: gone to the Nets, well, he's just gonna pad his stats. 57 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan went to the Wizards. Why because he wanted 58 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: to have part ownership of an NBA team. Is anybody 59 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: critical of Mike because he went to the Wizards. It 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: wasn't for basketball reasons. It was for business reasons, and 61 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: the business of winning another title is what Lebron is 62 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: all about. I have no problem with it. If he 63 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: had gone to Golden State. We would have said, oh, okay, 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: Durant had to go there to win titles, you're gonna go. 65 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: It didn't matter if he had gone to Cleveland. I 66 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: think people would have been okay with it. Philly hadn't 67 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: been to Philly. They haven't won a title in over 68 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: three decades, haven't been to the finals since what two 69 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: thousand and two thousand and one. I don't have a 70 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: problem with it. Chasing rings. We chastise him because he 71 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: doesn't have the rings that Mike has or Kobe has, 72 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: and now he wants to go get one more. He 73 00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: took the minimum. There are quarterbacks in college may making 74 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: more money than Lebron James' salary with the Sixers, I'm 75 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: okay with that. You sacrificed. And yes, he's going to 76 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: a lineup and it'll be similar to when he went 77 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: with Miami. It'll take a little while for them to 78 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: kind of feel each other out, understand what you do, 79 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: how you do it, When you do it, I can 80 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: take over, you take over. But I'm not worried about 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: touches with Lebron. He already proved that with Luca in 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: Austin Reeves. I can figure this out. We marvel at 83 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: his basketball IQ. Let's give him credit for that basketball IQ. 84 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: He wants to win and also knows he's forty one. 85 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: He also knows that he's got Tyrese Maxey, who was wonderful. 86 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: And now you bring in Jaylen Brown. This doesn't happen 87 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: without an assist from the Celtics. Still mind boggling. You 88 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: trade one of the better players in the NBA in 89 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,119 Speaker 1: your division. And I think July sixth, when Jalen Brown 90 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: was traded to the seventy six ers is when Lebron 91 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: changed his mind. He wasn't going to Philly in my opinion. 92 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: Here is his agent, Rich Paul. When did it start 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: the scale start tipping toward Philly like fifty five percent? 94 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: You know, when was like, you know what, I'm leaning 95 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: toward Philly or now it's more and more and more. 96 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 4: I think the I mean the eyeball came after obviously 97 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 4: the traite like Lebrown, Yeah, to even be really really considered. 98 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: Max Kellerman on there on the podcast, Yes July sixth. 99 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: July sixth is when all of this started to formulate. 100 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: I think because Lebron went okay, embiid, I can't promp 101 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: him up Maxi and Edgecumbe. They're really good. This team 102 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: isn't better than Miami's going to be, or Cleveland's going 103 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: to be, or Golden State it's going to be. Now, 104 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: I get Jalen Brown, top five, Top ten player. I 105 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: got something here. I got it. I got a chance 106 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: to win at least one more title. The basketball world 107 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: would explode if he got to six titles. But it 108 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: just feels like Lebron's doing it. Therefore, there has to 109 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: be a negative attitude. What's the negative part of this? Oh, 110 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: he's chasing titles. Okay, that's what you play for. If 111 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: he said, hey, I want money, Oh don't you have enough? 112 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: You made a half a billion playing in the NBA 113 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: salary wise, So he's not going to win no matter what. 114 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: But you have to accept that. If you're Lebron, you 115 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: know it's not going to be popular. You know people 116 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: are always going to have a negative slant on this. Well, 117 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: Mike never did this. Mike came back to get part 118 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: of ownership of the Wizards. Great business decision. Lebron's chasing 119 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: a title. I think that's admirable. If you look at 120 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: he goes to Cleveland, he doesn't win. Yeah, but he 121 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: went back home. If he went to Miami, Oh you 122 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: know what, maybe going back feels bad about leaving them 123 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: in the first place. Hey, you know what, it'll be 124 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: a great story. Hey, when you're old, you go retire 125 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: in Miami Philly. Wait a minute, he actually cares about winning. 126 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, how dare him? Oh he knows nothing 127 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: about Philadelphia. Okay, remember the story that came out before 128 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 1: he made the decision. Lebron and his wife were touring 129 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: schools in Philadelphia. Remember that big story. He was there 130 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: for a charity. I think thing that. I think they 131 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: were like, hey, he's looking at schools. Maybe he looked 132 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: at those school systems, and now he's coming back because 133 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: maybe his daughter can go to school in Philadelphia. But 134 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: I loved it. I thought it was great. I think 135 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: it's great for the NBA. The NBA was the big winner. 136 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: In my opinion. I get Lebron at seven thirty Eastern 137 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: TV primetime for everybody. This is great. Schedule's gonna come 138 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: out Nick's sixers, probably opening night Christmas, Lebron again, maybe 139 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: against Golden State, maybe against Miami, maybe against the Lakers. 140 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: And this is great, This is this perfect for the NBA. 141 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: So I loved it. Now, Okay, do I appreciate Lebron 142 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: more than the average fan or media person? Yes? I do. 143 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: Do I think Mike's the best player I ever saw? Yes? 144 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: But I can think both. I mean it's okay to 145 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: think both. How dare you? I know it's okay? Oh? Yes, Marvin. 146 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 4: When I say I like both Michael Jordan and Lebron James, 147 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 4: people look at me like I'm a nuts man. I 148 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 4: just like both of them. 149 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: What's wrong with Burger Kingham McDonald's. It's okay, Burger donalds Burg, Oldonald, 150 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: Lebron Jordan, I like him. Yes, it's okay. Best and 151 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: worst of the weekend. What you saw that you liked 152 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: you didn't like? Eight seven seven three DP show Operator 153 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: Tyler's sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. It was fun. 154 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: It was fun just talking basketball possibilities here and it 155 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: still went back to the Celtics. I know you got 156 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: a couple of first round picks. I know you got 157 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: a couple of second round picks, but it was a 158 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: salary dump. Like if you would have said to the Sixers, 159 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: how do you get out from underneath James Harden, Paul 160 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: George and they did it, and I truly believe. Now, 161 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: once again, I don't have any information on this. If 162 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: Darius Garland was still on the Cavaliers and not James Harden, 163 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: that's I think Lebron would have gone to. Cleveland would 164 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: have been closed because I got Jalen Brown now, so 165 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: Lebron can kind of see this. And he doesn't have 166 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: to be the lead singer. He can be the bass player. 167 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: It's so some nights he can play the tambourine if 168 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: he wants to. He doesn't have to be the lead 169 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: singer here. And I think Cleveland he could have done that. 170 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: And Darius Garland I like, and Donovan Mitchell resigns and 171 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: you got bigs up front. I understood that. But having 172 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: James Harden, that's a non starter for me. If I'm 173 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: trying to win a championship Miami, I don't know what 174 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: the roster is going to look like. Pat Riley always 175 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: does a wonderful job in filling out that roster. Philly's 176 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: ready to win now, And I got the odds. These 177 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: are the updated odds from DraftKings just got him this morning. 178 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: Spurs and Thunder still the big favorites to win the title. 179 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: Next year, Sixers and the Knicks are tied at plus 180 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: nine hundred, Spurs Thunder plus two seventy, and then the 181 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: Celtics plus thirteen hundred. But it was fun, you know, 182 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: big surprise. Even when Paulie said it, I was like, man, 183 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: the way he's saying it, I'm going to be surprised. 184 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: And then I thought, is it Golden State? Because I 185 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: never had Golden State in the picture. I know there 186 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: were people host who had that last week and they're like, 187 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm hearing I'm hearing. There was no information, So whoever 188 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: you were hearing it from, you weren't hearing it from 189 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: the people who were going to make the decision. And 190 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: Lebron kept it in his head or I'm sure his house, 191 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: but he's not letting it out. But I think July 192 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: sixth is when Lebron went, wait a minute, let me 193 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: look at that lineup. I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron 194 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: didn't have a whiteboard with all the lineups starting lineup 195 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 1: roster how much money like a GM would and said 196 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: that gives me the best chance. Now it looks like 197 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: he'll play one. And he had that other option, so 198 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: he might look at this as a two year window. 199 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: If he wins the title this year, let's just do 200 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: that bigger picture. Now he's got five, there is no 201 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: way he's retiring without one more shot to get six. 202 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: We'll come up with the pole question. 203 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, Paulie, going back to that trade with Jalen Brown 204 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 5: from the Celtics to the Sixers, those draft picks that 205 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 5: the Celtics are getting, it's a twenty twenty eight first 206 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 5: round pick, so it doesn't help them for two more years. 207 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 5: And you would think that the Sixers are going to 208 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 5: be really good, so that pick might be the twenty 209 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 5: sixth pick of the draft. 210 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean, even if you don't like Jalen Brown, or 211 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: you didn't like him in the locker room, or Jason Tatum, 212 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: or send him to Sacramento, send him to Phoenix, send 213 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: him somewhere. The only way he can hurt me is 214 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: in the finals. But as salary dump, I understand it. 215 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: We said it at the time. You're gonna have two guys, 216 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna be really top heavy. But they are good. 217 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: They can get you to the Eastern Finals, they can 218 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: get you to the NBA Finals, they can help you 219 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: win a title. But still mind boggling out of all 220 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: of this, you trade him to the Sixers, Well, you 221 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: now get to see Jalen Brown and you get to 222 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: see Lebron James because you sent Jaylen Brown to the 223 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: seventy six ers. Brad Stevens does a wonderful job. I 224 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: just maybe I'm not smart enough to understand how brilliant 225 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: this move was. 226 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 6: Yes, Ton, is there even a small part where Lebron's like, 227 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 6: been there, done that, winning in Miami and Cleveland, or 228 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 6: it's strictly like you just scope if he would have 229 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 6: gone back, if you thought Cleveland and Miami had a 230 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 6: little bit better a chance than Philly. 231 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: I think he wanted to go where he could win. 232 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: That's what this came down to, plain and simple. Family. 233 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: His wife and daughter stay in La. He comes out 234 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: here for business. Brownie's still going to be with the Lakers. 235 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: This is a business trip. He's on a business trip 236 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: this entire season. His business is to win another championship. 237 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: I have no problem chasing rings. If anything, he could 238 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: have kept it really easy, simple and retired in a 239 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: nice polite way, and everybody would have given him a 240 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: round of applause and say thanks. It was great seeing you. 241 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: You're know, Michael Jordan, he chose, he chose to go 242 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: to a place he hadn't been, and he knows the 243 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: expectations are through the roof, so he had attacked that. 244 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: I loved it. I think it's great, and it's great 245 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: for the NBA and great for you. I can't wait 246 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: for this opening night they play the Knicks, they beat 247 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: the Knicks seventy wins, question mark or if they lose. Yeah, 248 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: I knew this was going to be a failure. I 249 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: knew it can't air in the ball and let me 250 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: see how you're playing in April and May and June, 251 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: because it's gonna be rough at times. It'll be ugly 252 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: at times. But if they get magic like they did 253 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: late in the season when Embiid started to play really 254 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: well and Maxi and all of a sudden, you go, 255 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: Philadelphia is gonna beat the Celtics, and now you get 256 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: Lebron and you get a good Lebron with those kind 257 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: of glimpses, those hints of being great again. I wouldn't 258 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: be surprised if he's top five and assists this year, 259 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: because he'll want to. He led the NBA and assists before. 260 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: If he wants to do it, he can still do it. 261 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin, I think the underrated part is I think 262 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 4: he's gonna help on the boards. I think he's gonna 263 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 4: average eight or nine rebounds. Well, I think that's such 264 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 4: an underrated part where it's like, man, he's gonna help 265 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 4: on the glass. I think he's gonna play the five, 266 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 4: play some small ball. Okay, I'm excited. 267 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: All right. Well we were kind of on a roll 268 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: there and you gave me rebounds here. I mean, when 269 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: is this Angel Reese? 270 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 4: So watch what happens if they lose a game. Oh man, 271 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 4: if they had somebody on the glass. It always comes 272 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 4: down to something small. 273 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: Okay, has Angel re scored yet in the All Star Game? Nice? Nice? 274 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 4: Be nice. 275 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: She was the wrong person to be in that kind 276 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: of All Star game where they're athletically talented on the 277 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. Yes, Paul, All. 278 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 5: Star games in all sports but basketball. They're not conducive 279 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 5: to power forwards like LaMarcus Aldridge isn't running the show 280 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 5: at an All Star game, and he was a good player. 281 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 5: Does he get the ball enough? 282 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: How about we take a break. I got phone calls here, 283 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: best and worst of the Weekend eight seven seven three 284 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: DP show.

See what, Oh, it's all coming 337 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: back spelled differently, but it's okay. Counting Stars ended up winning. 338 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: I didn't gamble. My wife did. She had never bet 339 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: on horses before, and she goes, what do I do? 340 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: I said, okay, any horse that's ridden by one of 341 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: the Ortiz brothers, bet on them, and she goes, okay. 342 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: So she wins the first four or five races betting 343 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: on the Ortiz brothers. And then one of the Ortiz brothers, 344 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: Junior Ortiz, he was on Counting Stars, ended up winning 345 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: the race, and so she ended up making some money 346 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: just betting on them. I said, those are the probably 347 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: two of the best jockeys in the world, so you 348 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: can't go wrong with that. But it was great. It 349 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: was fun. Atmosphere was you know, festive. Uh I also 350 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: got to meet the track announcer, uh, Frank Mirah Mahdy, 351 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: Mira Mahdi. He is the lead race caller at Saratoga. 352 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: Big fan of the show. And I got to be 353 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: up in the booth while he's calling one of the 354 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: races there and UH had a lot of fun. Uh 355 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: if you get a chance in that area, go up 356 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: there and uh you have, you'll have a great time. 357 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: Downtown beautiful, walking around, places to eat, hotels and uh, 358 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: we had a great time. It was fun, festive. And 359 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: I got in the team picture with this horse and 360 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: my wife and I were in the back and she 361 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,239 Speaker 1: said what are we doing? I go, I don't know, 362 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: but it feels good. So I stood on my tiptoes 363 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: to be a little bit taller and she goes, don't, 364 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: don't do that. 365 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 9: Don't do that. 366 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: I go hunt. It's too late, too late. So we 367 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: got in the in the teen picture with the other 368 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: owners and uh, I don't know what.

Smile yes, Paulin. 370 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 5: I didn't know much about the Ortez brothers. You mentioned 371 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 5: Irad Ortiz Junior and Jose Ortes. Yeah, both from Puerto Rico. 372 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 5: Some of the greatest jockeys ever. You know where they 373 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 5: went to college, A squalea vocational jockey school. It's predestined. 374 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I just told her. I just bet on 375 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: the horse, you know, if they're riding a horse. I 376 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: think one won three races, the other one two or 377 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: three races as well. There were twelve races. Yes, Dylan, do. 378 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 10: You remember what Counting Stars ended up going off at. 379 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: I do not. I do not, but either the I 380 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: told you, I told you, I told you during the 381 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: Gambling podcast put some money on Counting Stars. Three year 382 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: old Philly completely forgot. Now all of a sudden, I 383 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: know everything about horse racing, Philly. Yeah, well, I used 384 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: to cover the Belmont in the Preakness for three years 385 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: when I was working at CNN in New York, and 386 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: I was trying to sound like I knew, you know, 387 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: when you meet these people, this is their life, and 388 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: I go, yeah, you know what when I sat down 389 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: with Woody Stevens and they're like, oh, you sat down 390 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: with Woody Stevens, I go, yeah, I've said, yeah, I 391 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: talked to him.

But it was fun, 394 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: uh festive time. Got to get dressed up. Wore a 395 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: sport coat and my wife goes, he should be getting 396 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: dressed up, and so I wore the sport coat. You know. Oh, 397 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: I saw Flavor Flav very the lead. Yeah, Favorite Flavor 398 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: Flav was there. His horse was running in the race 399 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: prior to the one. My friend was in counting stars. 400 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: And I saw Jason Worth, former Philadelphia Philly comes back 401 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: to Philly again. Yes, Tom, what's Flavor Flavor wearing his 402 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: big clock? Yes he was, Yes, he was, Yes, And 403 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: I yelled out, boys, I didn't. I won't because my 404 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: wife always says no, no, no, don't be joky here. 405 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: I go, okay, all right, So I was kind of 406 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: on my best behavior. Yeah, but I love that. 407 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 5: Unfortunately Flay's horse also wears the big clock and get 408 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 5: it to never win. Swing in the breeze, all right. 409 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: A couple of phone call, Oh, give me a pull 410 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: question here that we're going to stay with first hour dyling. 411 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 10: Well, we got some lebron stuff. 412 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: Now that the decision has been made, where would you 413 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 2: have gone if you're Lebron heat calvs. 414 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 10: Warriors or seventy six. 415 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: Ers and Big Day Ray just gave me a tweet 416 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: that Rich Paul, Lebron's agent did have a whiteboard and 417 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: had all the pluses and minuses And there's actual photo 418 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: of this that shows all the names and it gets 419 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: to Cleveland and it's got Garland since he's not there, 420 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: and it had a minus minus one on it, I think, 421 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: or just a minus because he's not there. I think 422 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: if Darius Garland is in Cleveland, James Harden's not there, 423 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: that maybe that's where Lebron goes. Maybe it would have 424 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: been a little bit more of a tug of war 425 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: with Philadelphia, but Jalen Brown going there and Lebron's saying, 426 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: that's my best chance to win. 427 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, Dyling, do you think there is something to what 428 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: Todd brought up about sort of like a full change 429 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: of scenery? Like would he is he more inclined to 430 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 2: want to win another title somewhere he hasn't already. 431 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe that factor's in, Like I've done 432 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: it in Miami, I've done it in Cleveland. Why not 433 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: try to do something different? Yeah? I guess, but that 434 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: lineup is what it came down to, where can I 435 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: win a championship. It's not about money. Although I know 436 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: that there are at least one member of the Miami 437 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: Heat organization not pleased that he went to Philly with 438 00:24:53,920 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: the guy who owns Fanatics, who he's Philly and you 439 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: know some connection there, And does he own the Sixers? Yeah, Dylan, he. 440 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 2: I know at one point he was part of the 441 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 2: ownership group that owned I think the Sixers and the 442 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 2: Devils off the Devil check, but I know he was 443 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: involved at least at one point. 444 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Because I was wondering if okay Man and he's 445 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: big with Fanatics Lebron, I think, is you know big. 446 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a shareholder or whatever, but 447 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,959 Speaker 1: that's I immediately thought, well, you can't be giving him 448 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: kind of a side deal. We're in the sensitive Kawhi 449 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: Leonard vacuum right now. But the first thing I thought was, 450 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: so he goes for less money than he could have 451 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: made elsewhere. Now, granted a couple million more, but that 452 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: was the first thing. It was like, damn, he didn't 453 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: even I think, get everything that he could get. 454 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, if it becomes public sentiment that James Harden 455 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 5: being on your roster for the Cleveland Cavaliers caused the 456 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 5: lebron in part, not to choose your franchise. Do you 457 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 5: go forward with James Harden your Cavaliers? You got no, 458 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 5: I don't think you have any choice. I mean he's 459 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 5: under contract. Does he have one more year? 460 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 9: Or is he? 461 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: Did he opt out? 462 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 5: He opted out and supposedly there's like a two year 463 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 5: deal being worked on. 464 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, I'd rather have Darius Garland than I 465 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: would James Harden come playoff time guest doing. 466 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,239 Speaker 10: So, I looked it up. 467 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: So Michael Rubin, the Fanatics CEO, He at one point 468 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 2: had a ten percent stake in Harris Blitzer Sports Entertainment, 469 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: which was the ownership group of the Sixers and Devils, 470 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: but he divested in twenty twenty two because of conflicts 471 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: with owning Fanatics. 472 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: Oh okay, but I know the Miami Heat thinks something's 473 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: nefarious here. Yeah, you know what, get Pablo Torri on this, 474 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: figure it out, Chris, and Syracuse leads us off. Hi, Chris, 475 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? 476 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 9: Hey? Thanks? Thank you got the best and worst than that? Yeah, 477 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 9: best hearing Aaron Rodgers reunited with his family that has 478 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 9: been estranged from for a long time. Also reunited with 479 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy now Mary. Yeah, maybe Aaron's turn over a 480 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 9: new leaf. I guess my worst. Lebron James last week 481 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 9: he was complaining about his time with the Lakers, saying 482 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 9: he never's been a third option behind Luca and Austin Reeves. Well, 483 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 9: in Philly won't be a third option. He may be 484 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 9: at sometimes a fourth option. And also, Jalen Brown wanted 485 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 9: to get away from Jason Tatum so he could be 486 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 9: the guy on his team. And also Jalen Brown ripped 487 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 9: Brownie to the media last year. I think it was 488 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 9: pretty bad with those two factors. I wonder how hard 489 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 9: it will be for he and Lebron to coexist. And 490 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 9: also what Dylan just pointed out, I wonder if playing 491 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 9: for four different teams and getting a ring with all 492 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,719 Speaker 9: four is a small part of the reason Lebron tick 493 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 9: Philly in hopes that would sway the media in his favor. 494 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 9: In the great both to date with Michael, I mean, 495 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 9: that would separate him from Michael and that would be 496 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 9: an impressive accomplishment. 497 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris. I think Jalen Brown was in Vegas 498 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: for the Summer League, and I think he was caught 499 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: on camera saying that Bronnie can't play. They were reading 500 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: his lips, yes, Marvin. 501 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, he was saying he's looking at his girlfriend saying 502 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 4: he's not a pro. 503 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and he could be. I mean he's technically 504 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: a pro. Yeah, factually he's he's a he's a pro. 505 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: But uh and then they're wondering, is he going to 506 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia. If I'm Bronnie, stay with the Lakers. 507 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: See what you can do. At some point, you've got 508 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: to carve out your own career. Here, Dad's gone. Now 509 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: show me you can play. Yeah, pulling. 510 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 5: But if I'm in the season ticket office with the Lakers, 511 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 5: I put out a big blast. Come out next year 512 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 5: and watch Lebron James Junior play for the Lakers. 513 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: Yes, Dylan, Yeah, I mean it's tough when you share 514 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 2: the same name already and you're playing for the same team. 515 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 10: I think a little I think he might like a 516 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 10: little space, you know. 517 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: I think it would be good for him. Let's just 518 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: see if he can play. But it felt like, hey, 519 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna to get Lebron and you get Bronnie as well, 520 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: uh Buddha in San Francisco. Good morning Buddha. Best and 521 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: worst of the weekend? 522 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 11: Why not VP? Happy Monday boys. Every day's a super 523 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 11: Bowl for seed Man real quick. I as want to 524 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 11: let you know I tucked my shirt in for this call. 525 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: Ray he pit. 526 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 11: Tucked in, Buddy. Best of the weekend, Lebron James making 527 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 11: a decision to go to the seventy six ers and 528 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 11: finally relinquishing his control over the Lakers franchise. Dan, I 529 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 11: felt like Andy Defray escaping Shotshank this weekend. I mean 530 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 11: looking forward to a new era and trusting the process 531 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 11: in LA And worse of the weekend caring about Kyle 532 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 11: Shanahan and his car accident he was involved in. I 533 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 11: mean broken nose, He broke some ribs, needed forty stitches 534 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 11: to his face. 535 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 12: Man, that is not. 536 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 13: Good. 537 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: That story came out of nowhere. But maybe that's what 538 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: they wanted, because this came out on Saturday that Kyle Shanahan, 539 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: the Niners head coach, had been in a serious car accident. 540 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: It happened on July fourteenth, so the Niners kept it 541 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: quiet for eleven days. I don't know how they did 542 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: this or why they did this. The Niners posted a 543 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: statement regarding the accident at midnight Eastern on Saturday. Adam 544 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: Schefter posted his first tweet on the situation one minute later. 545 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: The ESPN article about the accident published at one minute 546 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: after that. So did you release this to everybody? This information? 547 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: Why is ESPN holding the information? Why are the Niners now? 548 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: I guess if the Niners can hold the information, I 549 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: understand it. But if if you're in the news gathering business, 550 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: or at least he used to be. The NFL now 551 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: owns ten percent of ESPN. But did ESPN have the 552 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: information and chose to sit on it for eleven days? 553 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: Did ESPN say to the Niners, we won't release it 554 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: until you tell us to release it, okay? And I 555 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: think people knew that there was something, they didn't know 556 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: all of it, and they didn't know when they could 557 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: release it. Mike Florio points out that Jay Glazer of 558 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: Fox once told him true journalism in sports involves finding 559 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: out the stuff they don't want us to know, not 560 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 1: reporting something that's going to be announced in five minutes. 561 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: That's what happened here. This isn't journalism, not really reporting. 562 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: They're giving you the information and the acknowledgment of okay, 563 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: now you can tell everybody, do we wait for other 564 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: NFL news situations? Embargoes like that's the odd thing with this? 565 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: Why did you wait eleven days? Nobody knew anything, Yeah, Pauling. 566 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 5: It does feel that if the Niners had released this 567 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 5: as a normal statement from the franchise a day or 568 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 5: two after, we wouldn't be asking any questions and we'd 569 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,479 Speaker 5: be concerned for the coach. But it would not. Now 570 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 5: it becomes like, is there more here? Just by default? 571 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is now you get conspiracy there. You know, 572 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of this, you know, a lot more 573 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: to this. It feels like, and that car accident is 574 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: public record, right like police records, that's public records. Pro 575 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: Football Talk said the Niners wanted to keep it quiet 576 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: until training camp opened on July twenty fifth, instead of 577 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: reporting publicly available facts. The reporters who knew about it complied, yeah, 578 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: now you got it, back and forth with Tim Cawacami 579 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: and Mike Florio. Calacami and Niners reporter Florio can attack 580 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: me only once he's trolling, which he does sometimes. No, 581 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: Mike does that all the time. Conspiracy comply exclamation point. 582 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: I just want to know why it was held public 583 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: knowledge or police records? What are we hiding? And I 584 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: hope he's okay, but you'd still want to know how 585 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: often do we hold information embargo? 586 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 12: Now? 587 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: I think that happens, But in a situation like this 588 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: with a car accident and he like broken bones and 589 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: forty stitches and okay, I would have thought that this 590 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: would have been out there. TMZ should have had this 591 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,760 Speaker 1: when you think about it, yes, Dylan, Yeah. 592 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 2: I mean it just sort of whether you did it 593 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 2: by acent or not, it just sort of implies that 594 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: there's more to the story. 595 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 10: And then that's just people's imaginations are going to run 596 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 10: with it. 597 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, withhold and this is going to happen with ESPN 598 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: and the NFL in bed with each other. Is ESPN 599 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: going to cover the NFL the way maybe it used to, 600 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,439 Speaker 1: or that maybe the way it should And I brought 601 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: this up before just optics not great. And anytime something 602 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: happens like this, then we'll say, Yeah, you know, NFL 603 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: owns ten percent of ESPN.

Yeah, I actually was watching sixty Minutes 645 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 5: last night. I thought it was a joke. But there's 646 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 5: a new or not new, but a league out there. 647 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 5: They mix in chess and boxing and you win or 648 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 5: lose playing chess, and then you get in the ring 649 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 5: and you box your opponent and it's a combination of 650 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 5: the two disciplines. 651 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, I don't know what happens though. If you 652 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,800 Speaker 1: get knocked out, then I'm guessing you lose the chess 653 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: portion of this because you get out of the ring, 654 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: you take your gloves off, you sit down, and then 655 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're playing chess. But the Russians 656 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: are very good at this. Oh, dominant, They dominate. 657 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 2: Yes, dmit that is unsurprising first of all, but they 658 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 2: could do the turn the tor defronts into like a biathlon, 659 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 2: you know, like where they ski and shoot on a bike. 660 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: I saw this story. I don't know much more about it, 661 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 1: but uh, Mike Lombardi at North Carolina he so here 662 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: we go. I'll give you the statement.

Further, has no 667 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 1: reflection on his on the merits. Now, I do have 668 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: a report from a source, but I'm going to be 669 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: fair to the situation here of what he is accused 670 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: of doing. I have that, but I want to make 671 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: sure that I that I vet this because somebody got 672 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: suspended and it's a well known person, Mike Lombardi on 673 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's staff. But I have what a source just 674 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: sent to me at nine to forty five of why 675 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: Mike Lombardi was placed on administrative leave. Alrighty, let's see 676 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: Colin in New York. Hey Colin, what's on your mind? 677 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 12: Hey? Dan? Can I ask you something? Man? Do you 678 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,359 Speaker 12: know how much Paul George is making this year? 679 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: Like? Uh, what's he making? Fifty million? 680 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:14,919 Speaker 9: Yeah? 681 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 12: So, like you said, did you say you get it? 682 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 12: It's a salary dump? 683 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 11: No? 684 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, Jalen Brown, not Paul George. What 685 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown. They wanted to get rid of Jalen Brown's salary, 686 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: they and him. Paul George is going there. I don't 687 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: know how long Paul George is going to be there 688 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: with that salary. They had tied up Jalen Brown. I 689 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 1: believe to a contract extension. 690 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 9: Who cared? 691 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 12: What are you talking about? He's making fifty million this year? 692 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 12: Like you didn't, you didn't dump any salary? 693 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: No, but it expires? Like how long is Paul George 694 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: locked up with that salary, and the reports out of 695 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: Boston was Boston wanted to get rid of Jalen Brown's 696 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: salary because that was a longer deal. 697 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,919 Speaker 12: Okay, so whatever, So you can't trade Jalen you can't 698 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 12: trade Jalen Brown. I mean you can't trade for a 699 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 12: different player. 700 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 1: I mean no, I'm saying they shouldn't. I've been saying 701 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 1: that all along, Like thing I wouldn't have wanted Paul George. 702 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the point is, Colin. 703 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 12: You said, you get it that it's a salary. It's 704 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 12: it's not a salary dump. It's not. I mean just 705 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,800 Speaker 12: because he expires that they could trade him away, trade 706 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 12: who away, Jalen Brown, Way or or whoever. They could 707 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 12: trade Jailen you know whatever. It doesn't matter, Like it 708 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 12: doesn't matter that Paul george Is contract expires after a year. 709 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 5: Yes, bully that that's not true. Whatever you think of 710 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,240 Speaker 5: NBA trades, a big part of them is the salary 711 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 5: of the person you're getting and how long you inherit it. 712 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 5: For Paul George with the Celtics next year will make 713 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 5: fifty four million and then it's an option after that. 714 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 5: So they could see where that money will go or 715 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 5: not go after the season. 716 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Paul George is probably not going to be there 717 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: after one year. I mean, if he plays great, then okay. 718 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: Would I rather have Paul George than Jalen Brown? No, 719 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 1: but I do get first round draft picks, second round 720 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,479 Speaker 1: draft picks. But I think that given what Jalen Brown 721 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: was making and with Jason Tatum, that I don't think 722 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 1: they wanted guys who were a similar age, similar position, 723 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: making similar money. And I think there is a new 724 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: philosophy of don't go top heavy with two salaries, try 725 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: to see if you can balance it out like the 726 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: Knicks did. Now, not everybody has Jalen Brunson, who's going 727 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: to take one hundred million less. I don't know what 728 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: we accomplished there. One hour in the books. On this Monday, 729 00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: two more to go, Paul is going in the confessional, Fritzy, Dylan, Mark, Paula, 730 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 1: Yours truly, and the back room guys, best and worst 731 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: of the weekend.
