Speaker 1: So here we are. NBA Draft going as predicted with

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: Cooper flag going number one overall to the Mavericks. That's great,

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: and we talked about it last hour, and we'll have

25
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,039

27
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: now you know we're gonna have trades coming up soon.

28
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: All kinds of crazy stuff. But uh, two big hot

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: takes from what we've seen so far in the NBA draft,

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: and the first one is this. The other story that

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: really gained a lot of attention over the course of

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: the past few days was around Ace Bailey, right Rutgers Starr,

33
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: who famously didn't want to work out for the seventy

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: six ers. They were picking third overall, and Bailey looked

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: all off season it was been w Acet, Bailey's gonna

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: go third, right, this is how it's gonna go. It's

37
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: gonna go Flag and Harper and Bailey, that's how it's

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: gonna go. But didn't want to work out for the Sixers,

39
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: didn't work out for anybody, didn't work out for anybody

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: right though, And you saw the narrow he wanted to

41
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: control where he got drafted.

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound familiar at all.

43
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: You heard you heard many stories from different insiders. He

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to New Orleans, doesn't want to

45
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: go to Utah, doesn't want to go here, doesn't want

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: to go here, maybe wanted to go to Washington and

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: kept it very close to the vest. And I'm sure

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: that there was a lot of feelers put out by

49
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: he and his team about hey, hey, we're okay going here,

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: okay going here? And I get it. I get it

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: because I get players saying if I start in New Orleans,

52
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: what's my career? I just watched Zion's career in New

53
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Orleans and people still don't even know where the hell

54
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: if he's still in the league, right, So I I

55
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: fact that he is playing doesn't help. But I understand

56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: players wanting to control the narrative. That's why tonight this

57
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: was such a huge story coming into tonight because one

58
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: of two things was going to happen. Because in the

59
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: NIL era now, players have a little more cachet, a

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: little more leverage, because hey, I'm okay with slipping in

61
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: the draft because I'm some money already, right, I'm okay,

62
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: I have the last couple of years of last year,

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I made some NIL money in the

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. So I'm okay, I'm autright for right now.

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: So if I if I go eighth to a team

66
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: that I really want to go to instead of going third,

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm alright with that. I'm okay with that because I

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: have some money here. I have some blank you money, right,

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to go here. So this was huge

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: because if Ace Bailey fell through the draft to a

71
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: team where he really wanted to go, and you know

72
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: he didn't want to go to Utah because he didn't

73
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: smile at all when he got picked, well, I.

74
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: Mean some guys don't smile regardless.

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: If he had gotten to where he wanted to get too,

76
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: he would not be the last player that's going to say,

77
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: oh now I can take control of my draft future

78
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: and my NBA future. I'm not going to meet with anybody.

79
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to work out for people. I'm going

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: to make sure that different teams know don't draft me

81
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: because I don't want to go there, and I'm going

82
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: to get to pick my destiny. This would have changed

83
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: the draft forever because so many players out because the

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: end and these are all players that made money in

85
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: college coming in saying hey, I can do this now,

86
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I have much more cachet, and the NBA draft than

87
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: five years would be different than we've ever known it. Right,

88
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the same thing. They'd be fumbling for answers.

89
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: How do we have a draft or all the top

90
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: players they all want to go play for the Lakers

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: or the Knicks, or the or the Warriors. None of

92
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: them want to go play for the Pelicans or the

93
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Sacramento King Right. The NBA draft in five years be

94
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: completely different. But that gets absolutely shut down because the

95
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: Jazz take Ace Bailey and this is the NBA and

96
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: the Jazz saying you're not gonna dictate where you go. Now,

97
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the NBA leaned on the Jazz at all,

98
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: but if he fell through the draft, you would say, okay,

99
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: this opens the door to that. But this was the NBA,

100
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: specifically Jazz, saying, uh, yeah, you don't get to pick

101
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: where you're going right, right or wrong. The NBA made

102
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: a big statement, say you think you're gonna come into

103
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: the draft and you're gonna start throwing your weight around here.

104
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: As a kid that's never gotten into the never gotten

105
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: into the NBA, it's a privilege to play in the NBA.

106
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: It's not a right to play in the NBA. We

107
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: are going to make sure about this. And now A's

108
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: Bailey doesn't work out for a team and he gets

109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: taken by a team where who knows if he's happy,

110
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: who knows if he's good? And now other players are

111
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: saying whoa, whoa, whoa that could happen to me, instead

112
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: of the other side of it, which is, hey, A's

113
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: Bailey was able to maneuver his way to Washington. He

114
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: wanted to me, why would you want to go? But

115
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: he wanted to go to Washing Okay Washing, A couple

116
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: of the teams were there. Hey, I'm gonna follow that lead.

117
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: Now players are saying, whoa, I'm not doing that again,

118
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: because this is a guy that was a top three,

119
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 1: top five talent and he got taken by a team

120
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: that I don't think he wanted to go there, and

121
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: it's a mystery and it's out of his hands. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

122
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Maybe Philadelphia would have been better off if I had

123
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: not said anything. And I go to be there. I'm

124
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: playing with Tyres Max here Joelle Embiid, and I'm playing

125
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: for a heritage team and I can make a lot

126
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: more money than whatever it is an endorsement deals. I

127
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: that's a better situation for me. I'm going earlier in

128
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: the draft. Now players are gonna say, okay, I saw

129
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: As Bailey with the power play. He tried it and

130
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: he failed. And now the NBA by just this one

131
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: fell swoop of yeah, we're still taking you in top five,

132
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: A team is still taking you even though we don't

133
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: know if you want to play there. Yeah. I think

134
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: that puts an end to all of the strategies, the

135
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: a's belly type strategies we're going to see.

136
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: Well.

137
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 5: Also, I mean, if you're a team, he may still

138
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 5: get where he wants wants to go. Right, We've got

139
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 5: a lot of activity over the next week, but you're

140
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: not gonna pass on a guy who's six 's eight

141
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 5: and scores like he does at that point. Either he's

142
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: gonna come and play and be part of your squad,

143
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 5: or guess what, he's a great trade chip if you

144
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: see something else in the marketplace.

145
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Right.

146
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 5: There were some reports to your thinking of Washington, New

147
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 5: Orleans or Brooklyn where three three teams that he was

148
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 5: kind of eager at the back end of the top

149
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: ten to potentially join with. So yeah, it's that power

150
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 5: play because we were talking for months, well years in

151
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 5: the background, right, the NFL collusion stuff going back to

152
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson and all those things, a lot of handwringing

153
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 5: and some of the stuff being operated in plain sight

154
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 5: that no, nothing to see here, said big here. Players

155
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: are always trying to manipulate the system to get what

156
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: they want. Here, it was just a little more obvious

157
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 5: of yeah, I'm not even gonna go for the work.

158
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 5: Usually you'd still get on the plane. I mean, look

159
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 5: at Shadoor. Sanders went on the plane, still took the

160
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: trips and what do we keep hearing sabotaging plus his

161
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 5: dad talking and they're right in the NFL process.

162
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: You need any more than than what you saw with

163
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: A's Bailey, what you saw from Chador Sanders, who deon

164
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Sanders very publicly saying there's teams we don't want him

165
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: to go to. Now, if that's the case, you know,

166
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: they made it known to Team sure, hey Chador doesn't

167
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: want to go there, and they just said, well, okay

168
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: blank that we can take somebody else.

169
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 5: But as i multiple times, they also said, you're not

170
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: the guy, right, he's Bailey's a guy that's gonna come

171
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 5: in and get tribut.

172
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: Let's say let's.

173
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: Say that didn't happen. Let's say he didn't say anything.

174
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: There weren't teams that that Chador Sanders didn't want to

175
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: go to. Deon Sanders stayed out of it, and it

176
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: was just simply Chadour and his pre draft visits and

177
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: all of that. Does he get taken early in the

178
00:07:59,280 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: fifth round?

179
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

180
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: I think he does, And I think he gets taken

181
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: early enough where he's still an asset and not a curiosity,

182
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: because that's what he is in Cleveland right now. And

183
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: you're a fifth round pick, you're a curios You're a

184
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: curiosity to give you right, but maybe you are maybe

185
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: you're also someone that can get cut right. They don't

186
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: need to keep the fifth round pick, you know, I

187
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: need to keep you, but third round pick, second round pick. Yeah,

188
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: we got to kind of see you extend your chance

189
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: of succeeding in the NFL. So now, if you're if

190
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: you're looking at the last two drafts, I mean, are

191
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna do that? If you're a player and

192
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: say no, no, I'm holding out for this. If you're

193
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: Eli Manning and you're the overall number one overall pick

194
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: in the draft and the team has the pick that

195
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: you don't want to go there, you can pull that pick.

196
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: But when your ace back, Cooper Flagg could have done that.

197
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag could have said, yeah, I don't want to

198
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: go to Doubt, don't take me because I'm not going there,

199
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: And then it would have been, oh, what do we do.

200
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Do we trade the pick? Do we take Dylan Harper,

201
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: Do we still take Cooper Flagg? Do he take Cooper

202
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: Flag and try to trade him. He has that cachet.

203
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: Ace Bailey does not, and shod Or Sanders thought he

204
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: had the cachet, turned out he didn't. So very few

205
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: players can do that. And so if you've seen that

206
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: now in the last three months, we've seen it now

207
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: twice where players said, yeah, we're gonna dictate where we go.

208
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: Guess what, No, you're not. Oh, well, I'm not doing

209
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: that anymore. NFL and NBA patting themselves on the back saying, yeah,

210
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: we put we put that conversation to bet.

211
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 5: Put that wall up and uh, paint over it and

212
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 5: it's nice and uh for the next guy to try

213
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 5: to run through it as well. No, but look, Cubrius, agents, parents, family,

214
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 5: your your buddies, whatever, they're still gonna be in your ear.

215
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 5: You're still gonna have guys that we're gonna read about

216
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: and hear all of the Hey, they don't want to

217
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 5: go to teams and there's certainly squads you don't want

218
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: to be part of Utah And what have we heard

219
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 5: the last several days. Yeah, Kessler could be a guy

220
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 5: on the move by almost any discernible asset may be

221
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 5: there for the taking.

222
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

223
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 5: So if you're as baile leg what am I walking into?

224
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 5: I could become the guy.

225
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: And I understand it. I understand it. But but it's again,

226
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: it's a privilege to play in the NBA, not a right.

227
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: And the NBA got to say, uh, we have to

228
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: look got if we allow players to come in and

229
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: pick their teams, we're not gonna have a league. Half

230
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: the league is gonna go bankrupt because they're not gonna

231
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: get players. Well, no good, they're all gonna go Cooper

232
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Flagg would be a Laker, Dylan Harper would be a

233
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: Nick Right, I mean that's kind.

234
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: Of how boy.

235
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 5: It would become Survival of the Fittest. There's only so

236
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 5: many roster spots per squad. Hey, do you want to

237
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 5: go make a million and been guy fifteen on the

238
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 5: bench over there?

239
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: Hey, no, Cooper Flagg having a big season has the

240
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: ninth man? Uh, you know for for the Knicks coming

241
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: off the bench, he's he's getting some good minutes there

242
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: playing Zion.

243
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would go on a limit and say he's

244
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 5: not playing for the three million dollar or no, the

245
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 5: five point six mid level exemption. He'd be getting at

246
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 5: that point where we're trying to calculate how quickly he

247
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 5: can get to a billion dollars.

248
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: Uh.

249
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 5: But for Ace Bailey, Yeah, you want to talk about

250
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 5: a guy who really did not look like he was content.

251
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 5: He thought he was gonna get over It goes to

252
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 5: the larger question that that is always swirling in the

253
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: background about the The word fair is literally a four

254
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 5: letter word, but in many respects, the draft as a

255
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 5: quote fair process is one that we're always going to challenge. Yeah,

256
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 5: and certainly players if as a group they decided to

257
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 5: hell think about football next year, if it goes to

258
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 5: play as to plan with arch Manning, now he couldn't

259
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 5: beat out quinn Ewers who got drafted in the seventh

260
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 5: round just to remind folks of how that all worked

261
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 5: out for those that want to build the statue to

262
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 5: him already, but we may be looking at it next year.

263
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: Hey, is he gonna come out?

264
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a man because he'll always have the

265
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 5: excuse if he decides to go back, just just say, wow,

266
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 5: he's a manning clearly he was always going to go

267
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 5: back for another year versus yeah, I don't want to

268
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 5: go to that team, like he will never have to

269
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 5: verbalize that because he's got the built in surname excuse

270
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 5: of staying for another year of schooling.

271
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: But we might be months away from those same conversations now.

272
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: And here's why I can tell you about the draft

273
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: and why all issue defending the draft. The players want

274
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: to go so, okay, I understand again, I understand not

275
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: wanting to start your career in a certain place. Okay.

276
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: But here's where here's where I win the argument. You

277
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: have to understand that the draft is the best way.

278
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: The NBA draft, NFL draft, Major League baseball drafts have

279
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: been done this way forever, right, This is this is

280
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: how they do it. Teams are the worst records, they

281
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: pick at the top. They have the best chance tocceed parody.

282
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: It's all good for the league. Right now. You can

283
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: poke holes in some of these philosophies. I'm not saying

284
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: you can't, and I'm not saying this is subdy. Oh well,

285
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: it's always done this way. That's like the worst reason

286
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: to do something. I always say that the worst way

287
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: to do something to say because we've alway done it

288
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: that way. No, My point is that we've done all

289
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: the draft. We've done the draft this way forever, and

290
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: there's never been a better idea to change the draft too.

291
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: If there was a better idea, then we would have

292
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: done it, and the draft would have been changed, would

293
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: have been changed to something else, and it would be

294
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: a case of oh wow, well now this is fair

295
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: to everybody. It's fair to the team's fair to the players.

296
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: It's impossible to do. The draft isn't a perfect situation circumstance.

297
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: The draft is perfect. But it's the closest thing we

298
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: have to doing to put getting players from college or

299
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: outside of college into professional sports. It's the closest. It's

300
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: the best version that we have, and sometimes you have

301
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: to understand that, Okay, the best thing we can come

302
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: up with is what we have to go with. Right,

303
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: if you could come up with something better, great, But

304
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: the thing is nobody's come up with anything better. Oh

305
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: what if every year a different team gets the number

306
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: one overall pick in the draft? Oh so you're saying,

307
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: And so if a team stinks, hey, sorry, you're not

308
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: getting the first round pick for fifteen more years. Come on, man,

309
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: like that's the fair again, that's Jason's fifteen general manager.

310
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: There's bigger holes in every in every other possibility you

311
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: want to put in to replace the draft than there

312
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: is with the draft.

313
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 5: I want to do it like a silent auction for

314
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 5: fantasy football. You get some extra dollars if you know,

315
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 5: based on training, other draft picks and your salary cap spaces,

316
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 5: or you do it.

317
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: You do it like free agency in fantasy is what

318
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: you're saying. Like the A if you have like one

319
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: hundred dollars for your budget, you have to decide how

320
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: much you're bidding on these plays, and that's how you go.

321
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 5: And you have extra cash based on based on the

322
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 5: draft choices that you'd stockpiled, which so O KC would

323
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 5: have more money to spend in our auction because of

324
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: past moves.

325
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Instead, as we how much money you bidding on Isaiah

326
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: Likely It's boy, can you go thirty five dollars on

327
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag?

328
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: Well? How can you go?

329
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: How many teams would say, I'm putting all one hundred

330
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: dollars on Cooper Flag? Everybody the time we start flipping coin,

331
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: here's one hundred bucks on Cooper flags. We can have

332
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Cooper Flegg hundred bucks. All right? Great? I mean again,

333
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: find something better, and there's nothing that's better.

351
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 4: Thank you? I'm not doing as well as Cooper Flag,

352
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: but other than that, i'd say I'm doing better than

353
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 4: than Hanson Yang.

354
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, very good. Now we'll get to Flag

355
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: in a second. But I'm sorry to spring this on you,

356
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: but i really would like your in distant reaction to

357
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: an NBA draft pick.

358
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 5: Right.

359
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you who it is, but

360
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: I want your instant reaction, all your basketball acumen, tell

361
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: me what you think about this pick. Okay, okay, right,

362
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: So here we'll give you the announcement so you can

363
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of just understand this, this is the pick, and

364
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: tell me what do you think of the selection. The

365
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: Portland Trailblazer select Centric Coward from Washington State University.

366
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Coward.

367
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: Here, Rick, what what effect will this have on Colin's show?

368
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Will he leave for Portland? You're on that show a lot.

369
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: What are you hearing?

370
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 4: Well, you know, he started his career in Portland, so

371
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: it's really not all that surprising that they would pick

372
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 4: him and then immediately trade him to the Memphis Chris

373
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: Wait wait wait wait wait what we took?

374
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 5: Who we.

375
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: Took a talk show host? Who can we dump them

376
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: off on what the Grizzlies don't know what they're doing.

377
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 4: Let's see if they'll go.

378
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: Well, I mean he could do he could do a

379
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: show in Memphis in the morning and then play in

380
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: the game at night.

381
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: Uh, he could very well do that. He is uh,

382
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: he is a man of much energy and talent.

383
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: Uh. You know.

384
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 4: The funny thing is Howard would have uh he actually

385
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 4: he saw that he got drafted and uh and then

386
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 4: found out that he got traded and uh, he was

387
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: pretty much like he didn't even get the hat. It's uh,

388
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 4: he just gave me an idea. I need to I

389
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 4: need to bring him. I need to bring him a

390
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 4: Grizzlies hat next time I am along with him. Let

391
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: him experience what he missed out on.

392
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just think it was it was right there,

393
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: A big sponsor his blazing five NFL picks. The Blazers

394
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: blazing five picks and now we can't do that.

395
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: I will say this, considering the lack of interest in

396
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: the Portland Trail Blazers right now, it might have been

397
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: the trudest pick that they could have made. Must say,

398
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 4: I must say right now that Colin's ratings are higher

399
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 4: than the Fortland Trail Lazer.

400
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, hey, if they take Colin and Dan Patrick

401
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: back to back, I mean, that's that's a hell of

402
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: a backcourt.

403
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 4: And then, of course, you know that is his relationship

404
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 4: with Nick right, Nick Wright would have got him dealt

405
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: to the Lakers just no matter, would have taken no

406
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 4: time at all. That would have been a training camp move.

407
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 4: So alas we won't get to see any of that,

408
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: all right.

409
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Well, instead we'll spend most of the time, obviously breaking

410
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: down Cooper Flag to the Mavericks at number one. We

411
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: knew this was going to happen. Was a faded company.

412
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: When I say Cooper Flag. The next couple of years

413
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: with him in Dallas, what what do you see on

414
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: the landscape for he and the Mavericks.

415
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: Well, it really depends on when Kyrie Irving comes back.

416
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 4: Is you know what is he when he gets back

417
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 4: at ls are not a by any means career ending

418
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 4: injury or even career affecting injuries. They're pretty pretty standard

419
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: procedure now. But at his age and the way that

420
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 4: he plays, as dynamic as he is, there's a little

421
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 4: more of a question mark in terms of can he

422
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 4: be the same can he be the same player? And

423
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 4: then can Anthony Davis stay healthy? But if those two factors,

424
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: if those if those two things can happen, I look

425
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 4: at the rest of his team, and I look at

426
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag fitting in, and and I think that the

427
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 4: window there is to be in in the mix in

428
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: the Western Conference. If they have all hands on deck,

429
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 4: then I like them as much as anybody going up

430
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: against going up against Oklahoma City Thunder or anybody else

431
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 4: in the West. There's some talk about them signing or

432
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 4: acquiring DeAngelo Russell to be a placeholder or you know,

433
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 4: fill the gap while while Kyrie is out. I I

434
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 4: think that would be a decent move, depending on what

435
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 4: the number is. So I think it's I'm really excited

436
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 4: to see this because it's very rare that we get

437
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 4: a number one pick, but we know can play, you

438
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 4: know what level he's going to play, But he's going

439
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 4: to be a good player, and I would expect that

440
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 4: he's going to be in the league for a long time.

441
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: He could be a special player, and it's very rare

442
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 4: that we get to see that kind of player go

443
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: to a team that is already in the playoff mix

444
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: when healthy, and I would put the Dallas Mavericks inspite

445
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 4: of what happened this year when healthy, in that mix.

446
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 4: So I'm really excited to see what happens. I'm very

447
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 4: optimistic that Dallas Mavericks are going to make some noise

448
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: this year.

449
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 5: Now we have another player with we've got expectations he

450
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 5: can play, but he didn't expect to go play there.

451
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 5: That's Ace Bayley after a very strange route to the

452
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: draft night, not a guy who looked really excited about

453
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 5: going to Utah.

454
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 4: Rick. Yeah, I'm one of the reasons I was told

455
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 4: that he didn't work out is because the workout also

456
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 4: include interviews meeting with people, and that they were they

457
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 4: feared that he was not going to do well in

458
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 4: those interviews, and so that's why they evaded them. I

459
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 4: was told that the Wizard he had a secret workout

460
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 4: with the Wizards. That's really where he wanted to go.

461
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 4: I think that's been reported, But what concerns me is

462
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 4: that he's already thinking that he's got you know, he's

463
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 4: ready to take on Giannisante to compo, and his measurements

464
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 4: were less than what was expected. And I'm just I'm

465
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 4: getting Kim Reddish vibes in terms of a guy who

466
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 4: has has the entire package physically and is a shot maker,

467
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 4: but is he going to have the discipline and the

468
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 4: work to do the little things and become more of

469
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 4: an efficient player. That was the big knock on him

470
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: is that he can make almost any shot, but he

471
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: also is capable of taking almost any shot, regardless of

472
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 4: whether it's the right shot to take or not. So

473
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 4: you know, how that plays in Utah remains to be seen.

474
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 4: But I don't you know, in this day and age,

475
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 4: we got a lot of guys who come in and

476
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 4: to come in and they're very confident. I'm all for confidence,

477
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 4: but when you're talking about you know, I got something

478
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 4: to show a guy who's already been a league MVP

479
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: and is a champion, I would I feel better about

480
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 4: a guy coming in as young as as Bailey is

481
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 4: with just you know, an ounce or two of humility

482
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 4: in terms of, hey, I just want to get there

483
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 4: and I want to prove that I'm I'm an NBA player.

484
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: Rutger's not being any good in the NC double A

485
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 5: should have been clue to that.

486
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 4: Rick, Yeah, yeah, yeah, well and I you know, and

487
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 4: there Ben Simmons vibes because he didn't even get there,

488
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: you know, at LSU and and obviously was was a

489
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: top pick. So yeah, I think there's you know, this

490
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 4: is always the struggle is you see guys who have

491
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 4: the requisite physical ability to be special in the NBA.

492
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 4: But my feeling is, uh, I want guys who have

493
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: demonstrated that they can win. And like Markel Folks, same thing.

494
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 4: You know was was was looked at as a great

495
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 4: individual player, had all of the measurements, but what did

496
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 4: he do? And uh, at the at the college level,

497
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 4: not a whole lot. I'm I'm I'm very suspicious of

498
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 4: guys like that.

499
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: Rick Buker, our guest Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from

500
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, well, I want

501
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: to say the streak ends today the first time in

502
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: four days the Celtics have not traded one of their

503
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: high profile players. First it was Drew Holliday, then it's

504
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: Christaps Porzingis. What do you make of what you have

505
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: seen and what we could see from the Celtics so far.

506
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 4: Well, I think financially that look, we knew that we're

507
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: going to move some some guys and try to get

508
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 4: some cap reliefs. They were looking at a price tag

509
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 4: of like five hundred million dollars with the luxury tax

510
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: and everything else, so there was it's not a surprise

511
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: that they moved guys. I just wonder how how much

512
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum being injured and being out next year influenced

513
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 4: what they went to get, because as I look at it,

514
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 4: you've got Anthony Simon's and George Niang, if I'm not mistaken,

515
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 4: both are on expiring contract after this next season. And

516
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 4: it feels to me like they went and got guys

517
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 4: that they know we're going to be able to play

518
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: that that because they need to feel the team and

519
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 4: without Jason Tatum and even Drew Holiday and Christophsporzingis, you know,

520
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 4: had health issues. You didn't know how many games they

521
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 4: were going to be able to play. I just wonder

522
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 4: how aggressive they were in doing that. I don't buy

523
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 4: into the rumors that you know, Jalen Brown might be

524
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 4: out there too. I don't think this is a complete

525
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 4: teardown by any means, but you know, you heard you

526
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 4: heard Josh Cronki make the crazy comment about, uh, you know, god,

527
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 4: I hope you don't have to trade Nikola Yoki, which

528
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 4: is like, you know what, you don't. I know you

529
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: don't want to, So just don't say that, you like

530
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 4: could have those words come out of your mouth. But

531
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 4: the reason that he said it is I think because

532
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 4: with the current salary cap system, the Boston Celtics and

533
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: to a certain extent, the Phoenix Suns are top of

534
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 4: mind where you're you're literally forced to trade guys because

535
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 4: you've signed multiple guys Jaling Brown and Jason Tatum to

536
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 4: supermax or max contracts, and you're suddenly faced with the posit,

537
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: you know, like, oh, we we have to trade guys

538
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 4: like ten cents on the dollar just so that we

539
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: don't pay, you know, half a billion dollars. And so

540
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 4: I think that's what he was he was saying, And

541
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 4: basically it's a very crounky thing to say. It's like,

542
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 4: we was just going to warn you guys, we're not

543
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 4: going to be spending any money, you know.

544
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 3: But instead he didn't say all that.

545
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: He just said basically, one bed, one guy gets hurt

546
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: and we have to trade. Like that's one guy gets hurt.

547
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: We got to trade him.

548
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 4: One guy that we pay just a little bit too

549
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: much money and he gets injured and all hell is

550
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 4: going to break loose here. So uh, just letting the

551
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 4: entire roster know. Hey, guys, there there will be no

552
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 4: bonuses in your check is here?

553
00:26:52,760 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: Okay, don't don't put in the swimming pool. Griswold, last

554
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 5: one for you, Rick, Kevin Durant. Timing of the trade announcement,

555
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 5: fanatics fest and all that fun ahead of games, even

556
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: of the finals, and what's his impact there in the

557
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 5: planet Houston, Well.

558
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 4: He knew, he knew he was going. I don't think

559
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 4: it was a prize. I mean that's where he wanted

560
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 4: to go. I think the timing of it may have

561
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 4: you know, the didn't know is going down. While he

562
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 4: would be on stage being interviewed that said, look, I

563
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 4: like I like the move. Houston didn't have to give

564
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: up a whole lot. I don't think Jalen Green and

565
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks, I don't think Phoenix is their last stop.

566
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 4: I think it was basically a you know, a first

567
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 4: round pick and two guys that we can potentially move

568
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 4: for a first round pick somewhere down the line. The

569
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 4: teams that are, you know, either poised to add a

570
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: guy to bolster their playoff chances or whatever it may be.

571
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 4: I think both of those guys have that potential and

572
00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: or or market value. And then for for Kevin one,

573
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 4: he's exactly what they need. So that's the plus in

574
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 4: terms of a go to closer. They already have an

575
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: established culture and floor leader with Fred van Vliet and

576
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 4: Emai Odoka. They have some really young talent and they

577
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 4: can defend at a high level. So I like it.

578
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 4: I'm not you know, there's people out there that have

579
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 4: them as title contenders. I could see where they're.

580
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: The question is.

581
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 4: Going to be where are they going to be seated?

582
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 4: Because while they were the number two team in the West,

583
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 4: they were sixteen games behind the number one seed, and

584
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 4: they were only four games ahead of the number eighteam,

585
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 4: the Memphis Grizzly. So losing Dalen Green and Dylan Brooks,

586
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 4: I could see that impacting them in the regular season.

587
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 4: While Kevin makes them a more dangerous playoff team. So

588
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: the question is going to be exactly where are they

589
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 4: seated and who do they have to face when? As

590
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: far as how far they go, I would fully expect

591
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: to get past the first round, but do I have

592
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 4: them as title contenders? I can't quite go that far.

593
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Rick Buker, That is at Rick

594
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: Buker Fox Sports One. Check out the on the Ball podcast,

595
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: in which he now breaks down the Blazers chances in

596
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: the West with brand new shooting guard Colin Coward. In

597
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: the fold the trade to Memphis? What that meant? What

598
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: it would have been?

599
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 4: I just got noticed the Knicks are interested in trading

600
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 4: with the Blazers for who for? Oh, he may be

601
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: on the move again.

602
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: Take it easy, Rick, We'll talk to you next week.

603
