Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome in side final hour tonight the Jason Smith

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. It's funny how

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: sometimes one game can change everything for you.

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: The game within the game.

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: And I don't mean like we lose the Super Bowl,

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: or you know, we lose to the Marlins the last

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: game of the regular season, so we don't go to

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and now sudden we have to spend all

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: kinds of money and all kinds of players get so embarrassing.

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: Well, because the Marlins won't because they spend sixty seven million.

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 4: Now I'm still up on that page.

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 3: Thin.

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 4: We were just talking about baseball salary. Sixty seven point

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 4: eight million dollars last year. They collected one hundred and

25
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 4: ten from revenue sharing.

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: Man up top pirates, spend money, get a couple of

27
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: guys around Skeens and let the beast be pro act.

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Don't sit here and pull here and open your pockets

29
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: and go we have no money, man, We could you know,

30
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: anything offered better than a couple of bad seats to

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: games and poning up the money for that Skiens rookie

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: card last year with the debut patch in it.

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it would have all been better.

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if your schemes you win the cy Young

35
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: today and you're just sitting here thinking, I'm under team

36
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: control until twenty twenty nine. Yeah, it's a long time.

37
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: It's not even twenty twenty six. Young kids are going

38
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: to start college next fall, finish, and I'm still gonna.

39
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 5: Be a pirate. Yep, still gonna be a pirate.

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers may still be the quarterback of the Steelers.

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Still gonna be a pirate, Still gonna be there, Still

42
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: gonna be there.

43
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: Could still go see Livy done for another three hundred.

44
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 5: And not making any money, just.

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: Sitting there throwing every five days. That's the worst though,

46
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: That's right.

47
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: That's the thing with baseball that like well, whenever a

48
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 4: guy gets a seven hundred million dollar deal, you're like wow,

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 4: and people.

50
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: Lose their minds, like, no, he paid played for free?

51
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.

52
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: I always liked the phrase for pictures, uh, toiling in obscurity.

53
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: That's what.

54
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: He was detoiled in obscurity for the Pirates for the

55
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: first six years of his.

56
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: Career, working on that as a name for my memoir.

57
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe he's not going to

58
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: just request to trade and say I'm not I'm not

59
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: coming back, I'm not, I'm.

60
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 5: Not after this year. That's it. I'm I'm I'm heading out.

61
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 1: You gotta deal me somewhere else, because any team would

62
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: look because that that's the thing, is that if you're

63
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna trade, if you're not gonna if you're not gonna

64
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: pay for schemes, then then if you're not gonna pay

65
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: to get players around him, then you should trade him.

66
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: If you're the Pirates, right, because if you're not gonna

67
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: pay for guys, then what are you gonna do. You're

68
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna go seventy and ninety two with him, so what

69
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: does it matter?

70
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: But it goes?

71
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: So you should trade him because you'll get a ton

72
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: for him, absolutely, as opposed to schoolbl where he's gonna

73
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: hit free agency. You know, Scott Boris wants three hundred

74
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: million dollars for him, four hundred million dollars for him,

75
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: that's not a bet. But Skeens is, Oh, we get

76
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: him and he's under team control for other three and

77
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: a half years. I'll give you the top three prospects

78
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: that we have on the team for Paul Skeens, I'll

79
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: do that.

80
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: No, That's that's the.

81
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: Thing, right is the different ends of the cy Young

82
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: rainbow as it were.

83
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: Is all right for school.

84
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: Bol he's got the three hundred million uh sitting out

85
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: there eventually, but it leads leads to uncertainty for the

86
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: season and the pressure. But for the Pirates, you know,

87
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: right now, with Paul Skeens, we go back to the

88
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: thing we always talk about in the NFL is the

89
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: wishing and hoping that you figure out your quarterback while

90
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: they're under that first contract, right, that they show enough

91
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: that's like, all right with a couple of pieces here,

92
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: and then we can go win. Like the Bears being

93
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 4: in year two with Caleb Williams, second half of the

94
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: season is gonna be difficult. But you know you're not

95
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: paying the piper for another couple of years. For Paul Skiings,

96
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 4: you still have until twenty twenty nine under the job. Now,

97
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 4: well you probably cut them off a check to keep

98
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: them happy if you acquire them. Yes, but the reality

99
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 4: is you don't have to so far more enticing. But

100
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: for the pirates you have no excuse because you're paying

101
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: him nothing.

102
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Long time, long time, goud get people, go oud get people.

103
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: Michael Keaton will go out and you'll have dinner with

104
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: guys and hey, come on, come play for Pittsburgh.

105
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 5: We need something here.

106
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: More Iron City beer sales.

107
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 1: I don't know now when we say sometimes one game

108
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: changes everything. Right, going into tonight's marquee game of the

109
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: night in the NBA, Lakers and the thunder Lakers have

110
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: had a big start right eight and two, things were wonderful.

111
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Of course, the champs the champs eleven and one, no

112
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: real difficulties at all. But this is a big measuring

113
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: stick game for the Lakers, who are feeling good because

114
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: they are Luka, Doncic and Austin Reeves driven. Lebron James

115
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: when he comes back, is gonna be the number three guy.

116
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: If he's smart. He comes in as a number three guy.

117
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: He comes in his RS grant. Uh boy, what's what?

118
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: We don't need Lebron? Like you know Leno, Lebron wants out.

119
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, the Lakers want to move on without him.

120
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: You can see that we could we the vision of

121
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: our team. Now we are Luca and Austin Reeves driven,

122
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: and the fifty million that we're paying Lebron, we're gonna

123
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: pay for another player or two to come in and

124
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: really be the guy or the last missing piece to

125
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: the championship puzzle that we're gonna win with Luca. All Right,

126
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: you know both sides they want this, and Laker fans,

127
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: I guarantee you seventy percent of all Laker fans are like, yeah,

128
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: we don't. I don't want Lebron come back. I don't

129
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: want Lebron. He's never been embraced by the Laker fans.

130
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: He's never been embraced. He's kind of been held at

131
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: at at at arms length by Laker fans. Ran the

132
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: team when he and Clutch Sports had a lot of

133
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: say now they don't, and Lebron is on the outside

134
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: looking it.

135
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 4: Well a little bit of that desperation, but it's always

136
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: like the guy that follows the guy you're ever gonna

137
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 4: get really embraced like you're the next big superstar post

138
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant.

139
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's not gonna happen, even though you're

140
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: the best player in the game. And now going in Okay,

141
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: now we got a chance to stake our claim and

142
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: show you how good we really are. Right, we have

143
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: an eight and two start. Now we have the champs

144
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: on the road. We win this game, we'll show you

145
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: we don't need lebron and uh, this was no longer

146
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: a game. After the three minute mark of the first quarter,

147
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City beats the Lakers one twenty one to ninety two.

148
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: And it was worse than that. At halftime. We're up

149
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: by forty. At halftime, it was a bit. I think

150
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: it was thirty six, maybe thirty six at half time.

151
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: It was over at hav like, Okay, we don't need

152
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: a game of the night, and we're guys, go do

153
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: whatever you want, stay and listen to the show because

154
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna be entertaining as hell as we always are.

155
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: But you know, hey, go do other stuff. You don't

156
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: need to worry about this Laker game tonight. Now suddenly

157
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I bet you it's flipped to Okay, now we need

158
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: Lebron back. Now what role is different? But now it's

159
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna be, oh, we really need Lebron because the Lakers

160
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: have shown and another teams that want to be contenders,

161
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: whether it's the Lakers or the nixt Jalen Brunson please

162
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: be okay, the Pistons, the Spurs, all of these teams

163
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: are all good. But you now see the difference between

164
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: these teams and these competitors and the thunder Right, it's okay, Yeah,

165
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: with the team we have right now, yeah, we can

166
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: win or we can win against our peers, and then

167
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: the better teams in the league we can win against.

168
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: We've won without Luca, We've won without Austin Reeves. He

169
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: won when Austin Reeves is doing it by himself. Okay,

170
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: we feel pretty good, but you're trying to win a

171
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: title and you see the team as it's constructed now

172
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: is a far cry from Oklahoma City. So now, okay,

173
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: now we need Lebron back. Now you want Lebron back,

174
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: and you need them back because you need something else

175
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: to try to compete with them. As a season goes

176
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: on and and and sometimes one half or one game

177
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: of basketball changes everything.

178
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 5: And that's what happened tonight.

179
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Lebron went from we don't need you, we need you now,

180
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: we need you now, now, I need you now, I

181
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: need you now, I need you.

182
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 5: I want you to go to the South Bay Lakers.

183
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: And then get on a plane and then join the

184
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: Lakers on the road trip because we need you now,

185
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: we need you now, we need you now. But that's

186
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: what I and Oklahoma City not the first team that

187
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: that that has done this to anybody that had this

188
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: done to them by Oklahoma City. Hey, we see how

189
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: far away from the champions, but this is this is

190
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: a night where the Lakers get Okay, our big start

191
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: was great and we're feeling good. Maybe we thought we

192
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: were a little bit better than we are, but oh yeah,

193
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: getting Lebron back, Yeah, that's gonna be a big thing

194
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: for us. And the big question, of course, is gonna

195
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: be how awkward is it when he comes back? Does

196
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: he come in a big complimentary role. Rick Buker joined

197
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: us last hour and said, I'd love for Lebron to

198
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: come in and just say, hey, how can I help.

199
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm not the number one guy, I know that it's

200
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: it's Luca and and and Austin driven now and I'm

201
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna be playing someplace else next year. How can I

202
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: be a great version and the best version of that?

203
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: But Rick Buker, look, I'm not I'm not confident Lebron

204
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: can do that. But clearly you need that infusion of

205
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: something to be able to compete with the best team

206
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: in the NBA that you got to get pass in

207
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and Lebron is clearly going to help you

208
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: with that if you get the best version of Lebron James.

209
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all about buying at this point.

210
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 4: And we know what we're getting night to night from

211
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 4: Doncic and Reeves on most night. Right, he's been fantastic

212
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 4: to date. But you're talking about how it's going to

213
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 4: change the shots, the minutes, the rotations for everybody else.

214
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: You still need another shooter. Well that's not Lebron James,

215
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: but that needs to be parsed out for another time.

216
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: But where we're sitting at with their record to this point,

217
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 4: and again it's fantastic. You beat who's on the schedule

218
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 4: and you take care of it. But you're looking at

219
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: a bunch of middling teams. The best record wise was Minnesota.

220
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 4: They're seven and four, right, Otherwise you're looking at five

221
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 4: hundred or or below for the rest of the opponents

222
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: that you've played to this date. So when you go

223
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: up an got thumped by Atlanta a couple of games back, right,

224
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: that was one of those body blows that wakes up. Right,

225
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: everybody's got a plan till you get punched in the face, like, oh, okay,

226
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 4: Atlanta again got us, but they rebounded, they win against Charlotte,

227
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 4: and then tonight's game against OKC was just a bludgeting.

228
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 4: This was Connor McGregor. This was Ronda Rousey at her best.

229
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: This was Mike Tyson. Thirty seconds in, you're bloodied, you're

230
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 4: on in the mat and someone's got to throw the

231
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: damn towel because you are done. Hey, and some guy

232
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: that who's getting his nachos didn't get to see the

233
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: fight at all, which was the opening what was it

234
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 4: about three and a half minutes and I was like, ah,

235
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: you know, Luca did that euro step and one oh

236
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 4: look at him and that that was the last highlight. Otherwise,

237
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 4: it was a lot of sad looking Laker players as

238
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: they absolutely got bloodied, pilled a post. Now you got

239
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 4: a game against at New Orleans, at Milwaukee, and then

240
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: a couple of games against Utah home and road for that.

241
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: But for Lebron James, it's what does his ego take?

242
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 4: Does he recognize it still? Does he look at this

243
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: as the opportunity to say, clearly they still are that

244
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 4: far away? And for the Lakers on a larger scale,

245
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 4: what's the ultimate goal in this this season? You know,

246
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: it's easy to say, oh, championship or bust, but the

247
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: reality of trying to figure out where you are in

248
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 4: the Western Conference?

249
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: I see, I think it has become championship or buss,

250
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: just because you've seen how quickly Luca and Austin Reeves

251
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: have come together as the present and future of the Lakers.

252
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: Like whoa the Lakers starting out eight and three, they

253
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: would have never thought this without Lebron. And if I

254
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: told you, hey, here the first eleven games of the year,

255
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: Luca's gonna miss a couple, Austin Reeves is gonna miss

256
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: a couple. Lebron's gonna miss all of them. You're saying, man,

257
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: if we're four and seven, five and six, we feel

258
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: pretty happy about that. Missing those guys instead eight and three. Whoa, Okay,

259
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: so I think because of the start, yeah, they've ramped

260
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: up expectation, but.

261
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: It's still also that conversation of Lebron fitting in. How

262
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 4: much is that worth? You know, on a per game basis?

263
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: Is he going to stay healthy? Is Lucas staying healthy

264
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: just because he's leaner and meaner. I mean there's injuries

265
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 4: in his history. Austin reeves he gonna keep shooting like

266
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: he does and put up thirty points a game. I

267
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 4: know he's motivated by a massive contract. I mean, that's

268
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 4: the greatest thing you can have. And they should put

269
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: it in the newspaper. You know, the old black and

270
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 4: white cartoons of here's you know, Polinka and everybody with

271
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: the dangling and the carrot on the stick. Keep shooting

272
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: Austin to go get your one hundred million dollars. But

273
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 4: it's just tonight was just so abysmal. They're like, now

274
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 4: you're trying to figure out and evaluate where you really

275
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: are in the packing order.

276
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: And you know, I always say Lebron does everything calculated, sure, right,

277
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: and here he is sitting through the first ten games.

278
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: Go boy, they're great without me When am I gonna

279
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: come back? And I've told you he's gonna come back

280
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: when he knows when the Lakers hit the skids or

281
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: when it's the best point where they.

282
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: Need him, that siren goes off.

283
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: And I don't think there's any coincidence that today on

284
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: the road against Oklahoma City, he has to know, Okay,

285
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: as great a start as we at, we're probably gonna

286
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: get killed tonight. Lebron practiced today with the South Bay Lakes.

287
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 4: I'm with the Gague team twelve to fifteen five on

288
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 4: five possessions coming back from Sciatica.

289
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: Today's the day he started to practice. That's just still fun.

290
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: On the same day that at night they get killed

291
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: by Oklahoma City and suddenly, hey, maybe we need Lebron

292
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: right like any he could have gone any day, any day,

293
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: but this the day I'm at back practicing now and

294
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: then we lose because I know we're gonna lose tonight,

295
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Like I realized, I can't help but think that that's

296
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: part of what goes on, just because everything is calculated

297
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: with him, every single thing.

298
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: All the machine gets put back into into service.

299
00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 5: Today.

300
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: JJ Reddick had his comments talking about the workout that

301
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 4: Lebron got in earlier today with the South Bay Lakers

302
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 4: there and Elsagundo. Since you're just doing a workout and

303
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 4: you're not like on a minor league reabstent, do you

304
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 4: buy lunch?

305
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: Still?

306
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 4: Isn't that kind of okay? So those guys at least

307
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: ate well today there in the South Bay. But it'll

308
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 4: be curious to see how quickly this gets ramped up,

309
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 4: you know, especially coming off of this game. Now the

310
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: schedule coming forward, Like I said, you got Milwaukee in there,

311
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 4: but otherwise it's New Orleans and a couple of games

312
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 4: against Utah. Perhaps you could do a slower ramp up

313
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: to get him back in with his cape. But we

314
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 4: got to figure out what hero theme that you want

315
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 4: to put under the music bed.

316
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I think his music should be Let's see the return

317
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: of Lebron, Return of the King, I would say we

318

Speaker 1: put in.

319
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: I mean Rebirth of the Cool would be good by

320
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: the Afghan Whigs. I would say five hundred miles by

321
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: the Proclaimers.

322
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: By the Proclaimers, he would walk five hundred mile to

323
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: be the man that would walk five hundred miles to

324
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: save the Lakers.

Speaker 1: double nickel and the Nuggets win over the Clippers. No

358
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: defense could stop him, not even when a fan ran

359
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: on the court to play defense and the game had

360
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: to be stopped and the guy ran away.

361
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 5: From a couple of security guards before he finally got caught.

362
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: The fan runs on the floor to play defense as

363
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: they're bringing the ball.

364
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 2: That might be my favorite.

365
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 4: Like usually we get knuckleheads running around and other than

366
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 4: Kevin Harlan's famous call that you and I watch on

367
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 4: a loop when football season first comes back, because like

368
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 4: it's back and Kevin Harlan's back, right, that guy's drunk

369
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: and very tested and all of that. He's pair of

370
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: chested chest. Yeah, he's drunk in there he goes. We

371
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 4: celebrate that, but usually it's just a guy runs, tries

372
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 4: to do evade, eventually gets tackled. Here the guy wanted

373
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: to step up and play some defense. He was trying

374
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 4: to show the Clippers how it was done. The only

375
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 4: thing I was disappointed obviously don't run on the court.

376
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 4: But I can't believe no one's run.

377
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: On the court, like in a jersey, like in the

378
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: jersey right, like wearing a sneaker.

379
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: Ran we're the wrong color?

380
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: Scheme long like how long could you get on the

381
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: court floor for before people would notice?

382
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: Would you get ten seconds?

383
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: Could you get in the layup line before a game?

384
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: You probably could get in the layup line if you

385
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: wear you know, you wear the warm up suit, and

386
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: everything else may be take be taken lay up. You

387
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: probably could do that. Who's this dude? He must be

388
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: all right, he must be mist That's fine.

389
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 5: What do you do?

390
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean you have to be you have to look

391
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: like it, like a player. You can't just be like,

392
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I'm five to one and and I'm

393

00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: UH football life, My football life sucks.

470
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: Also on the day where a couple of Philadelphia radio

471
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: UH insiders and and hosts say that they heard that

472
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown went rogue on that final

473
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: fourth down play on Monday Night where aj Brown doesn't

474
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: really go for the ball and on fourth and six,

475
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts throws it deep. And that wasn't the first

476
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: time they've gone rogue on plays. It's explain why Nick

477
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Sirianni was upset and want to talk about it after

478
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: the game. We talked, what the hell are you doing

479
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: going for it on fourth down? That stupid But now

480
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: allegedly you have your quarterback wide receiver. Your guys are

481
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: going rogue right now. I have two thoughts on this,

482
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: and both can be true at the same time. Okay,

483
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: number one, I can't believe the Eagles are seven and two.

484
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: I can't with the daily dysfunction that they bathe in.

485
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: They don't just walk up to the well of dysfunction

486
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: and take a sip. No, No, they walk up, they

487
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: take off their shirts, and they get in and they

488
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: bathe in it, and they make sure. I'm rubbing all

489
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: the I'm rubbing all the dysfunction on my arms, I'm

490
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: cleaning under my under my arm pits.

491
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: I'm using it as shampoo.

492
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna sit here after and I'm just

493
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: gonna soak in the tub of dysfunction. That's what the

494
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: Eagles do. I can't believe they're seven and two at

495
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: the disfunction by Jason Smith. At the same time, at

496
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: the same time, I am unbelievably impressed that they can

497
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: win like this. Yeah, you're piscause you're the dysfunction because

498
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: the Jets can't win in that function. We have it,

499
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: we can't win it. The Giants can't win that dysfunction.

500
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: Nobody can. But the Eagles can win Super Bowls. While

501
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: AJ Brown is reading on the sideline, they could be

502
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: seven and two when they should have traded the guy

503
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: and gone and get a wide receiver at the deadline,

504
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: which hey, Howie Roseman, we were playing GM from three

505
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: thousand miles away. That's gonna wind up being the worst.

506
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: And the Eagles did not moving on from AJ Brown.

507
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: We said it before the deadline. Last year, you got

508
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: by because you didn't know how it was gonna go.

509
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: This year, you knew it was going bad, and still

510
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: you didn't go out and get a receiver and move

511
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: on from AJ Brown, who's really persona on grod in

512
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: the offense, not getting targets, not getting attention. But he's

513
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: the guy that hurts. They decide we're gonna go deep

514
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: on this, like all this dysfunction, and still they win. Man, Like, yes,

515
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're seven and two, but I

516
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: respect the hell out of the fact that they could

517
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: still win bathing in the dysfunction that they do.

518
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna look into getting a custom bar as soap

519
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 4: made that's carved dysfunction.

520
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: You know what I feel. You have to figure out

521
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: what the scent is.

522
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: But when I think about the eagles, I think about

523
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: like the movies you get into where the scientists are

524
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: in the spacesuits and they're in this room with a

525
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: really contagious alien or weapon or something, and they have

526
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: to leave the room and go on in air lock and

527
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: they just get bombarded by water and ammonia and whatever

528
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: it is to kill all the all the bacteria. Then

529
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: they go into another room where they get rinsed off

530
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: and it's all the water. Like, I feel like that's

531
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: what the eagles bathing in dysfunction. It's they come out

532
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: of that room, they get into the one room where

533
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: they get hit with all the stuff that kills the

534
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: cells and kills the aliens. Then they get doused in

535
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: all the watertaminated multiple times. That's the Philadelphia Eagles. I really,

536
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: I respect the hell out of the fact that they

537
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: can win with that when nobody else can.

538
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 5: And they're seven and two.

539
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: A lot of talent in that room, obviously defending champs.

540
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: And the funny thing.

541
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: Is with the record that they've put up on either

542
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 4: side of the ball, you can't say that they've been

543
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 4: overly impressive at any point, right. Jalen Hurts has some

544
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 4: good numbers overall, right, when you just break them down,

545
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 4: not world beating, but the touchdowns, the interception ratio, big plays, whatever.

546
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley's got one one hundred yard rushing game on

547
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: the year at this point. Aj Brown, if those are

548
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 4: two guys in a conspiracy theory, it blows apart in

549
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 4: a conspiracy, I should say it blows apart that theory

550
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 4: because he never looks for the.

551
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: Ball, like if he was in on it. How does

552
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: he not look back over his shoulder at any point.

553
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: He's not even twisting as the ball hits him squarely

554
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: in the back. Now, he said this to reporters on Wednesday,

555
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: quote after the game, I sent all the right answers,

556
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: and y'all still made a story in that moment where

557
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm just talking to my friend having fun about apologizing

558
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: for that.

559
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 4: If you have eyes, you can see that. And so

560
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 4: it's not like I'm throwing anybody under the bus. I'm

561
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 4: literally trying to laugh through this blank. This blank is tough,

562
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 4: but I'm trying to make fun of the situation and

563
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 4: try to get through it. And that's thing right, Big

564
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 4: games where he was targeted a bunch and really had

565
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 4: an impact for your fantasy squad and for the Eagles

566
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: and everybody in the box score. Now, him being out

567
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 4: there and running routes while you don't want him to

568
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: be little more than a decoy and someone that the

569
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: defenses at least have to pay attention to. Well, if

570
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 4: that's the worst of it, they're seven and two.

571
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 5: It's amazing, amazing.

572
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: And your guy, Siriani, somehow he just keeps dancing along.

573
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: Unbelievable.

574
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 4: But it also shows the dysfunction and problems that we

575
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 4: have across the conference and across the NFL as a whole.

576
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 4: I love him all two hundred and seventy two games.

577
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 4: There's a couple that are lesser than that. We talk

578
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 4: about each and every week, like all the primetime games

579
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 4: for the last week. But I think we're at a

580
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 4: point we can all honestly assess the NFL and while

581
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 4: there are special players and special teams on a week

582
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 4: to week basis, the overall product kind of sucks.

583
00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

584
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of teams that are just right.

585
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 1: We look at the games we've just seen on national

586
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: television and we're getting the Jets tomorrow night.

587
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 5: That's it.

588
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: You want it or not? Jet tomorrow. Yeah, that'll be exciting.

589
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 4: But but it's just that point, right, is that there's

590
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 4: a lot of teams where we point we we normally

591
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: at this point in the year, can go. These are

592
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 4: the contendent We've talked about with Jason Cole before I go,

593
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 4: who's actually good?

594
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: And he had to bo who you trust?

595
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, like you again, you trust individual players that

596
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna rise up to a moment, but will their

597
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: teams match it? Great theater exit out about a Fresco exit,

598
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: swelling down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend

599
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: Mike harmon time how to find out what's trending in

600
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: the wide world of sports, and someone who's been called

601
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: the justin fields of Fox Sports Radio because tomorrow night,

602
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: working here with us, she will throw for as many

603
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: yards as Justin Fields will for the Jets. It's Manci

604
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: Belaga Sacks, Sacks, I may throw for more. Uh yeah,

605
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: well he did have minus two weeks ago.

606
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, there's a chance.

607
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 9: I'm saying there's a chance without throwing a pass, without

608
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 9: throwing a pass.

609
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I like that.

610
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 9: Not for you, Not for you and your juts, not enough, Well,

611
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 9: I expecting one. Are the chances that they pull off

612
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 9: this upset?

613
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: What's less than zero?

614
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 3: Great?

615
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 8: What is the amount of your arts that j Justin

616
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 8: Field has?

617
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: We just watched that movie instead.

618
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm just hoping tomorrow night, it's not a meme

619
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: worthy loss, like we just lose Garden Variety. Sure, we

620
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: lose by a couple of touchdowns, not like something happens

621
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: on the totally. People are gonna make fun of this

622
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: for the rest of it.

623
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be screen grab an Aaron Glenn every time

624
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 4: they show him.

625
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: I'm just hoping I'm gonna make it memeable no matter what.

626
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 5: I don't think he's gonna dance like he did against

627
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 5: the Bucks. I don't think that's happening.

628
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 2: But just have a nice boring loss tomorrow night. That's

629
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: all I'm opening.

630
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, the Clippers didn't have a boring loss

631
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 8: to it.

632
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: I wish it were excited.

633
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you so much for that.

634
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: If they allowed the fan to continue to play defense,

635
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: maybe they would have stopped Yoka from scoring fifty five.

636
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 9: Or twenty five in the first quarter. Yeah, like it

637
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 9: started from the get go. You know again, Nicola Yogas

638
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 9: doesn't look like he's trying out there.

639
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 8: He looks upset.

640
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 9: He dropped fifty five points to go along with twelve rebounds,

641
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,880

Speaker 8: I get it. No, listen, I under I don't think

663
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 8: it's fair either.

664
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: I think you lost a couple of fingers in an ear.

665
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was bad.

666
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 8: You think it's not fair. I don't think it's fair.

667
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,080

Speaker 9: requested medical information to make sure that he is not

673
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 9: at risk of aggravating The Caps strain that has had

674

684
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 9: than when he won the Rookie of the Year, where

685

688
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,160

699
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 4: From what the Pirates fan. Now, I should point this out.

700
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: We were talking about Moncey maybe having more passing yards, yeah,

701
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: than Dustin filt Shore. I'm on a website and looking

702
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 4: at a book that has no prop bets for his

703
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 4: passing or rushing. No, nothing having to do with justin Field.

704
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: Nope.

705
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 4: Just to put that out there. We don't know who's

706
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 4: going to actually quarterback. I can't wait to see.

707
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: You can't do it.

708
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresco exit swollen dome. Jason Smith

718
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Two big NBA stories to get to.

719
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 1: And I really think that Tom Thibodeau came back and

720
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: coached the Knicks tonight at the end because Mike Brown

721
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: did something that's absolutely unforgivable on the second night of

722
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: back to backs. Jalen Brunson, heavy minutes last night, heavy

723
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: minutes tonight. Look, he never has a non heavy minute game. No,

724
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: his minutes are heavy.

725
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: It's a lot of minutes, but it's stressful minutes because

726
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 4: away in style in which he played.

727
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: Like him and Luca like nobody. They don't have non

728
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: stressful minutes. Right, everything is stressful. Second night of back

729
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,719
Speaker 1: to backs. Early, you're losing by sixteen with under two

730
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: minutes left to go. You get Jalen Brunson out of

731
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: the game, you get Karl Anthony Towns out of the game.

732
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: It's not your night, right, second night at back. I'm

733
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: not saying, hey, they should have won. It's awfulmbarrassing, it's no.

734
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: You know I feel about back to backs. They're stupid.

735
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: But you get him out of the game at that point,

736
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: it's not like you're within eight or six. No, you're

737
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: down by sixteen, you get Jaylen Brunson out of the

738
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: game because you want to make sure something like this

739
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: doesn't happen.

740
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 10: Inside two minutes to go and Brunson another foul drawn

741
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 10: and he immediately grabs his right leg.

742
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that right leg.

743
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: Oh man.

744
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 2: Man, Mike Brown wants to get him out. Oh no,

745
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: he wants to get him right.

746
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 8: So the Knicks batch after he got out.

747
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: Back to the locker room to get that looked at.

748
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 5: Now he wants to get him out of the game

749
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 5: next TV. Now, I'm gonna get him out, dude.

750
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: Come on, That's something I expect Tims to do it.

751
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: Just last night we were saying, boy, you know what

752
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: Mike Brown is doing. He's got Mical Bridges playing the

753
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: best he's played. Karl Anthony Towns has bought in, and

754
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: he's playing the bench guys right, He's got the guys

755
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 1: coming in. They're playing good minutes. It's terrific so far.

756
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: And then Jalen Brunson, for reasons passing understanding, is in

757
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: the game where you're down sixteen with less than two

758
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: minutes left to go, he should have been out of

759
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: that game two minutes before that, not that Oh, here's

760
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: the time he should have called time. They should have

761
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: been out of that game, right, okay, second night, back

762
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: to backs. Everything I've said shouldn't be in the game.

763
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: And now he's in and he's seen leaving MSG in

764
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: a walking boot on crutches.

765
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 4: Like what But you know you can't get hit to

766
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 4: change the style. You can't just say he distribute from

767
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 4: the top of the key. No, if he's got an

768
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,959
Speaker 4: opportunity to drive, he's gonna drive. And in this case

769
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 4: that's why. So he should be driving from the bench

770
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 4: while he's watching. That's what he should be doing. Well,

771
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 4: now he can't even drive. He's gotta have someone to

772
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 4: show for him around. I'll tell you, because now he's

773
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 4: on crutches. But you have this circumstance where he drives

774
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 4: in and catches, and Carter knew it immediately, like his

775
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: his leg gets in and they get tangled in that

776
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 4: moment and he steps on his foot and goes down,

777
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 4: and you could just see Carter like I didn't I

778
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 4: didn't push him, I didn't put his hands up and

779
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 4: down goes bruntson sixteen point game under two minutes.

780
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: This isn't football where it's like all right, we're gonna

781
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: go in.

782
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 4: We're gonna score where I at the you know, goal line,

783
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 4: and if we can execute an on side kick or

784
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 4: get a quick defensive stop, we got a shot.

785
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 2: No, no, there's like a nine possession game.

786
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 5: Like what are you doing?

787
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: Man?

788
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 5: Like, we're like, what are you doing? Mike Brown? Like,

789
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 5: what are you doing?

790
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: He just lost all that good will he built up.

791
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: Gotta like you gotta go back and scrub the podcast

792
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 4: from yesterday for all the good things you said.

793
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, no, no, we're back to zero some now,

794
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: you and me, Mike Brown, I was a guy. I

795
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: was the first guy to say Mike Brown's the next

796
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: head coach of the next I was right there when

797
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: they fired Tibbs. I said two guys, and Mike Brown

798
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: was one of them. He got the job.

799
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 5: Now we're in zero some now.

800
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Now we're back to even now because you did that,

801
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 1: no one thinks it comes a fifteen game loss like

802
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: you have. Don't put more of that stuff out in

803
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: the universe.

804
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 5: What happened last time? Just say he's gonna be good

805
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 5: and back in the next game they play. What are

806
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 5: you doing? Why you say his fifteen games?

807
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: Now?

808
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 5: Why would you put that out there. I don't you

809
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 5: even say.

810
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 4: That because there was precedent last year. I feel like,

00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 4: un Tom Tibdau, I want to say, like Alreadie lang

Speaker 5: I mean, come on, and what are you doing.

00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,840

00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: have to chant fire Nico anymore at games because he's

821
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: been fired. So Nico gets let go? What is Luca

822
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: dons a chap to think about this? He's had plenty

823
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: of time to tonight because you know, he didn't have

824
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: to worry about the game after the first quarter because

825
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers got boat raced by fifty against the thunder.

826
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: But here is Luca asked following the game about, Hey,

827
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: your opinion, Nico Harrison traded, you got let go? And

828
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: here is Luca Danc's response to the biggest NBA story

829
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours.

830
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 2: And seeing the news of his firing.

831
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 7: Look, I mean, just Siria, Dallas defense players, they always

832
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 7: have a special place in my heart, and I thought

833
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 7: I was going to stay there forever, but I didn't.

834
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 7: So there'll always be a special place for me always

835
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 7: I can call it home. But right now, focus on

836
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 7: the Lakers, you know, trying to move on, but obviously

837
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 7: always is going to be part of me in there.

838
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: But just trying to move on.

839
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 7: Focus on what we're doing.

840
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 10: Here with Niko now gone, and you obviously have a

841
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 10: lot of fans back in Dallas. Is there a world

842
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 10: in which you could ever see yourself playing for that

843
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 10: franchise ever again?

844
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: Perhaps one day down the road.

845
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 7: Right now, I'm just focusing the Lakers, man Like, there's

846
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 7: no further comments.

847
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 1: That's a gutsy question. Could you ever play for the

848
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: Mavericks again? Who is that?

849
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 2: Hey?

850
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 5: That's Nico Harrison asking that question.

851
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 4: Do you think do you think you can take some

852
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 4: time to heal and maybe maybe someday look.

853
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: At no more questions like you asked me, well why

854
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: you asked me once? And I answered, I didn't give

855
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: you the answer you wanted, but I can say.

856
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 5: Whatever I want.

857
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 2: No, he d answered and then the.

858
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: Second question, Okay, no more question, no more questions. Could

859
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: you ever go back to Dallas again? I have That

860
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: is a ballsy question, man, that is a really ballsy question.

861
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 5: I have a sneaking suspicion.

862
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: Luca's answers off the air are a tad bit different

863
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: from this. Hey, I've always Dallas will always have a

864
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: special place in my heart.

865
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 4: This is one of those where I really hope he

866
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: recorded the conversations for his own amusement over how things

867
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 4: went down with ownership and as we talked with Rick Muker,

868
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 4: find it in the podcast. Wherever you get your audio downloaded,

869
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 4: give it five stars, send it to friends and family.

870
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 2: We'll love you.

871
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: Forever, you know, calling him the fall guy right, well,

872
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: when you get down to it.

873
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 2: And that's the end, to be the messenger.

874
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: And that's what we talked about last night, is that

875
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: go back to this trade and you can you can

876
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: rip the trade for not working out. And we talked

877
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: about how, hey, it's maybe the gutsiest trade the last

878
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,399
Speaker 1: twenty years because Nico Harrison knew if it fails and

879
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: Lucas you know, straightens up with the Lakers, which could

880
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: happen because the trade would get his attention. That's a

881
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: real possibility. But remember things weren't great with Luca and

882
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: the Mavericks at that point. He wasn't on the court,

883
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: he wasn't playing. They were looking at having to give

884
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: him three hundred million dollars like it wasn't all sunshine,

885
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: lollipops and rainbows. And one day that that Nico Harrison

886
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: woke up and just said, hey, We're gonna trade Luca.

887
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: Things were not great. So I know you want to

888
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: have this Pollyanna opinion that well, if he stayed in Dallas,

889
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: everything would be awesome. No, it wasn't and he might

890
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: not be playing now, he might be out. He might

891
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: have not taken care of his body, Like this was

892
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: a result that you knew going to a new team.

893
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: This might make you open your eyes to where you are,

894
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: but it probably wasn't gonna happen in Dallas and it

895
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: would still be more of the same, meaning what it

896
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: was a year ago. We get to the finals, but

897
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: now I'm not taking care of my body and I'm hurt,

898
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: and they had to move on from it. Well.

899
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 4: He played twenty two games with the Mavericks before the

900
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 4: trade deadline was unavailable. Yeah, and the other thing that

901
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: had to happen, and it's the third shoe to drop

902
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 4: in this. Yeah, you got Cooper flag, so that bought

903
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 4: you a little bit of goodwill. But everybody else that

904
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 4: was part of the building plan has been hurt and

905
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 4: is unavailable for you to where ownerships monitoring what Anthony
