No, buddy, You're welcome. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.360 We'll get phone calls coming up. Eight seven seven three 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.720 d P Show email on dress dp a Dan patrick 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.560 dot Com twitter handle at DPS show. Say good morning 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.520 to Peacock, our streaming service and also our radio affiliates 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:41.440 around the country. I heard Adam Schefter ESPN NFL Insider 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:45.760 on his podcast where he threw this out in regards 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:50.760 to Deshaun Watson's immediate future had caught my attention. Whatever 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:55.480 punishment he has coming, whatever, Sparren, just once that is done. 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.040 I just think that at that point in time, to me, 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.400 the Philadelphi Eagles should be Wait, there's no team in 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:05.520 the league with more draft capital than the Philadelphia Eagles. 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:10.520 The Eagles are more equipped to make a run at 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:16.759 the Shawn Watson than any team out there. Okay, Now, 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.399 my view of Adam Schefter whenever he says something, and 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.120 sometimes it's not reported. It's just a thought that he has. 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:30.240 It's always based in some kind of information because we 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.520 can speculate, like how the Broncos would look if they 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:37.520 got Deshaun Watson or Aaron Rodgers. Well, there's no report, 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.440 but when it comes to Chefty, it always feels like 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:45.560 this is coming from somebody in a front office. You know, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.600 when Jay Glazer makes a report, it's coming from a 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.880 coach or a player. When Chefty has a report, it's 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.120 usually coming from a league's source, or it's coming from 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.280 ownership or GM or you know. That's the feeling I 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:02.520 always get when I hear these reports. I'm always curious 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.160 of where you're getting your information, who are you speaking to? 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.440 And when he said this, I thought, Okay, that's not 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.800 just one of those. You know, a great situation could 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:15.120 be Deshaun Watson. It feels like there's something there, it's 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.400 just not officially there. And it still comes back to 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.120 what do you give up if you're Philadelphia to get 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:26.640 Deshaun Watson? When do you get Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.119 we know once out and you can't have a situation 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.239 where Deshaun Watson is going to be more valuable unless 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.280 you have some clarity of knowing when you can acquire him. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.600 That's it, because he's not going to play where you go, 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.960 he's elevating his stock. It's when is he available? What 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.000 is the punishment going to be. Let's say he settles 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.640 these lawsuits, but he still has to deal with the commissioner, 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.239 and the commissioner doesn't go, hey, I'm going to move 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.640 you up. You know, there's no special card that you 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.760 show that allows you to move in front of the line. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.840 Where we go, We're going to hear your story. Now 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.320 I'm going to decide. He's got to wait, and this 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.720 could be two months, six months. Maybe he doesn't play 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.480 this year. I don't know. I don't know what the 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.959 commissioner and do. I think they'll put him on the 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.960 Commissioner's exemp list. Well, if they do, then why didn't 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:20.240 they do that before? Like? Why not? Now, no, you're 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.160 gonna put him on there, hey, and we're gonna put 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.120 you on the like would what would happen have happened 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.920 the last couple of months where you go and now 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.640 we're going to well, you're gonna do it because you 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.600 want to have him still get paid and have his 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.560 day in court and not show up and be a 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.080 distraction at training camp. And so I don't know if 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.960 that's what's going to happen with Deshaun Watson, but I 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.920 can't imagine at the end of the month, on July 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.760 twenty seventh, Deshaun Watson's going to be gone. Hello, Hey, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.960 my swipe card doesn't work. They Hello, I'm out here. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.000 Something's going to be settled by then for just the 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.760 team and Deshaun Watson, and basically just take him out 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.320 of take him out of play. Yeah. Point if you 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.360 were Texans management, could you see almost want being okay 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.680 with Deshaun Watson being put on the commissioner's list for 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.360 the season because he doesn't get injured. He doesn't make 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.000 you decent and take your end. I got to pay him, Yeah, 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.280 that's a lot of money. It's forty million dollars. But 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.200 you get the first pick of the draft you trade him. Yeah, 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.000 but I could get the first pick in the draft. 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.440 I'm not playing him right, and we're gonna be terrible. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.159 I don't want to pay him while we're being terrible. 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:30.680 I don't want to. I don't want to pay him 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.240 forty two million dollars to not play for me. But 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.800 if you put him on the commissioner's exemp list, he 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:40.200 gets paid to not play for you. Yeah, I'm a club. Yeah. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.360 I think the NFL may be waiting that they thought 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.520 it might settle, right, because that would change the story. 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.000 It's a civil case, yes, with the possibility of a 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.040 financial settlement, So probably the NFL hoped it would be 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.200 out of their head. I don't know, but you're right. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:53.600 What are they get to They have two weeks to 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.200 make a decision here after spending ten days in Las 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.320 Vegas prepping for the Olympics. Kevin Love is withdrawing from 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.960 Team US say, and sources tell Woage Love is still 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.440 returning to full form after right calf injury kept him 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.560 out for a significant part of the end NBA season. 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.960 First of all, he never should have been on the roster. Never. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.000 You might be surprised that he was on the roster, 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.279 but Kevin should not have been on the Olympic roster. 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.400 Julius Randall Zion like, give it a younger player a 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.440 chance for something like this, Like nobody's going gotta have 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.000 Kevin Love. I like Kevin Love, but Kevin Love is 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:38.000 not an Olympian. He's not a good player anymore or 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.839 very good player. And I would think that you're getting 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.560 very good players to play for the Olympic team, if 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.520 not even more elite than that. But Kevin Love is 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.320 going to withdrawal from Team USA. Yeah, Love, did you 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.520 see Tobias Harris? May have been asked, do we really 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:56.640 need another eleven foot banks shooting shot? Like, what does 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.760 he do for the Olympic team except being a good player? 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.600 I find that as a fan, and I'm a Sixers fan. Well, 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.960 he's healthy, he's healthy, but like he's a mid range player. 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.360 I don't know. I think Julius Randall makes a lot 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.760 more and now probably will be Julius Randall. But well, 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.919 they don't have big guys. They don't have any big guns. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.120 But wait, we got to make up our mind. Do 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.920 we need a big guy to win? Because it feels 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.279 like all the metrics say you don't need big men anymore. 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.080 Now you need a big guy to win in the Olympics. 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:25.720 I don't have to worry about any you know, I 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.560 don't have to worry about the Greek freak. I don't 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.320 have to worry about Joe l Embiid I don't have 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.640 to worry about the joker when it comes to the Olympics. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.800 Why do I need a big guy Gobert? Maybe he's 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.599 the Olympics. I don't know. I ain't worried about Rudy 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.360 Gobert or whether if I'm worried about Rudy Gobert, whether 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.400 or not we can beat France. Then I got bigger 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:52.640 problems they. I assume they have Frank Millikina, Nicholas Skittish Beely. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.000 By the way, we're keeping an eye on the Open Championship. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.080 You would if you just tuned in and didn't know 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.799 it was the Open Championship, you might go, oh, well 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:07.720 is that San Diego? That is that Hawaii? Oh they 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.280 got sweaters on? Oh Okay, you'd never know that. It 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.160 doesn't happen like that. The weather can have there can 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.400 be pockets where there is sunshine, but it doesn't last 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:23.920 long over there. Epic Drivers Callaway is framing the future 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.280 of speed jailbreak speed frame and they have a they 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.440 have a driver for you. I use the Epic Speed, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.240 the Epic Max LS that's the tour preferred driver. And 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.960 you can explore Epic Drivers at Callaway Golf Dot com 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:40.160 slash epic and uh, if Bryson de Shambo is not 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.000 happy with his Cobra driver, I'd be more than happy too. 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.360 I know people at Callaway to send him a driver. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:51.160 In fact, here is Bryson de Shambo blaming his driver yesterday. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:52.640 If I can hit it down the middle of the fairway, 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.360 that's great, But again with the driver right now, the 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.440 drivers sucks. It's uh, not a good face for me. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.000 And we're still trying to figure out how to make 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.200 it good on the missits and you know, I'm living 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.600 on the razor's edge, like I've told people for a 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.120 long time, and it's quite finicky for me because it's 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.520 a golf course that's that's pretty short. And so when 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.040 I hit driver up there and it doesn't necessarily go 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.720 in the fairway, it's right in the first cut or whatever, 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.200 or it's and hey, it's tough for me to get 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.560 it out onto the green and control that. But what 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.160 it's in the middle fairway like I had it on eighteen. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:21.360 I was able to hit a nice shot in there 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.840 at eleven feet and almost made Bertie all right, he 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.200 sounds like a fifteen year old. This sucks. I don't 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.280 like this. I don't want to go. That's what he 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.920 sounds like. Not in my fault. Come on, you're a 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.400 big boy, get paid big money. You're a really big boy. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:42.079 Let's go. I suck it up. You you're the one 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.240 that had the problem, not your driver. And if you 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.080 hit it farther than anybody, why are you using a 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.800 driver on this course? How about you use a three 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.280 wood three iron? How about you take a little off 0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:00.880 the swing. But you know, when you buy in to this, 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:02.959 this is who I am, and this is what I'm supposed. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.000 Tiger famously did this when he would have his bad 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.320 back and he would swing so hard, and I'm going, 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.800 what are you doing like you need? How about you 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.720 swing a little less and have course management there? And 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.959 so I'm going to overpower this. No, this isn't the 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.240 kind of course you overpower like that. It's not a 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:29.600 long course. It's quirky, and you put it in the rough. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:34.120 You're putting it in knee high. Hey, it's really really tough. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:38.880 But you're twenty seven years of age. Come on, let's 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:44.800 go deal with it. It's a frustrating sport, but don't 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.000 be a baby and don't do that to your sponsor. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.520 At least I think they're still still his sponsor. Yankees 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.280 Red Sox was the only sport that was on tap 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.120 last night. The game didn't happen because of COVID issues. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.040 The Yankees leading the charge. I think there's six players 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.000 in COVID protocol. Aaron Judge is one of the players. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.560 He was at the All Star Game, So now we're 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.480 going to have contact tracing. I'm I'm sure Bradley Beale's 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.239 not going to the Olympics because he's in COVID protocol. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.200 COVID is still a big factor in the world of sports, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.480 and it could play a key role the rest of 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.240 the baseball season. Who knows what's going to happen in 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.720 Tokyo at the Olympics. They just had another spike in 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:31.440 COVID cases. I just I don't know what's going to happen. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:35.319 But you know, sports was leading the charge to get 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.920 us through the pandemic, and I hope sports has that 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.880 opportunity to continue to do that. You go back to 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.760 when Rudy Gobert tested positive. We've come a long way, 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.600 at least you think we have, and then you have 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:54.280 these moments in these sports and what kind of Jeopardy. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.560 Does that put these teams and these sports in You 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.480 can relax, but you still got to be aware. And 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:07.280 that's one of those not so subtle reminders of it's 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.880 still here, like it or not. Wherever you are with 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.520 getting vaccinated, Hey, if you're going to play a sport, 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.760 and I know leagues can't mandate this, but if if 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.920 you're going to continue to play the sport, want to 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:23.120 continue to play the sport, you want to be able 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.560 to play in these games, then you've got to be 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.760 able to have some kind of it's not legislation, but 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.559 you have to have some kind of understanding of if 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.000 we're going to get through this, we have to get 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.600 through this together. And I understand I have friends who 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:43.760 haven't been vaccinated. I've heard both sides of this, but 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.559 this is sports. You're playing a game. We want to 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.600 come and see you play. We need you to be 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.959 smart about all of this. Whatever that answer is, Hopefully 0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.440 these leagues can come up with some kind of consensus here. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.560 But I tuned in to watch that game last night 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.000 and all of a sudden they said, nope, COVID protocol 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.439 not happening. And now with what goes on at the Olympics. 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.520 I don't know how they're gonna pull off these Olympics. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.880 I just don't. I don't know. And look, Peacock is 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.959 carrying the Olympics. Now, I worked at NBC. I worked 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:26.000 the Olympics. I mean, they're it's full speed ahead. It's 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:31.040 almost like an NFL mentality. Hey, we're playing these football games. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.800 Now we sat out last year. We're having these games. 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:41.000 All right, I'll watch, but I'll watch with great curiosity 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:47.080 and hold my breath. Really, I mentioned the greatness of 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:51.719 Janis that I wondered how many players have two mbps 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.520 and have won a title by the age of twenty six, 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.760 And I forgot that Tim Duncan was one of those 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.120 players that he had two MVPs back in the early 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:07.320 two thousands, and he won an NBA championship. And he 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.560 did that before he turned twenty seven. I believe Bill 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.400 Russell did it. I think before he turned twenty seven 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:20.920 or right around then. Kareem Bob pettit, Tim Duncan, and 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:25.160 Jannis won't turn twenty seven until December. That's pretty impressive 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.600 if he would win this championship, putting him in that 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:35.440 category with Tim Duncan, Kareem, Bob Pettitt, Bill Russell. Well, 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:40.320 that's the fast track right there, and you start to 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.240 think of legacies. You don't think of a legacy when 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.559 you're twenty six, but at thirty six, if you're Chris Paul, 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:51.160 you do. And to me, the next seven days is 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:55.320 about Chris Paul. He wins it, what it means to him, 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.400 his place in history, if he plays well, if he 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:04.720 doesn't win in I I think it's gonna have one. 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.959 I think Jannis can can. He's on scholarship right now. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.679 Because of the way he's played coming back from the injury. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.000 He had that block against Ayton. I think he's got 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.199 some good will that he can play with here. If 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.160 they don't win, they're not expected to win. Phoenix was 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.760 the favorite. They got home court advantage. But it feels 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.400 like there's a whole lot more at stake for Chris 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.160 Paul than there is Jannis. Yeah, well, you know, for 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.360 both these guys. When the Lakers are healthier, when these 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.520 other teams get healthy, when the Nets don't have issues, 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.440 this is a window for both teams. I mean it's obvious, 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.440 but like next year, they may not be close to this. Yes, 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.240 you're right, a couple of phone calls and will take 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:46.200 a break. Alex in Alabama. Hi, Alex, Hey Dan, about 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:54.200 six three, two hundred and pounds. Okay, tomorrow is my 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:59.360 son's first birthday, and he loves to listen to you 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:03.120 every more while he's eating breakfast. We have Pecock on 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:08.040 and we're always watching the show, and your voice always 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.160 seems to sue him whenever he's a little upset. So 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.000 I was hoping you could give him a few words 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.240 of encouragement. Is he there right now, Alex, you see there, 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:21.360 right now? He's actually napping right now. Wait a minute, 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.840 he fell asleep during the show. I've been on hold 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.800 for forty minutes. Not not your fault. You've got more 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.040 important things to do than talk to me. But did 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:35.080 your son fall asleep during Todd's limerick? He did? Okay, Wow, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:41.200 that's better than crying during his mock headlines. Wow, that's 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:48.440 very true. Your your son's name is Jonathan, Jonathan? All right, well, Jonathan, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:54.160 happy birthday, and don't nap during my show.

He was 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.399 one of the stars ours that emerge from the bubble 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:05.680 last year. We always appreciated his time and his information 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:07.840 that he gave us while he was hitting the bubble. 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.840 He's currently in Las Vegas, then heading to Phoenix later today. 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.960 Game five coming up on Saturday night Chris, thanks for 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.199 joining us. We just got word that Kevin Love is 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.639 withdrawing from the Olympic team. So we have Bradley Beale 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.359 and Kevin Love not playing. Who are going to be 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.879 the replacements? Well, they have they have an ample amount 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.040 of players that they can pick from from the pool. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.879 I know a player that has been campaigning behind the 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.840 scenes of trying to get on his team, and that's 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.360 Trey Young of the Atlanta Hawks. You know, we heard 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.160 talk of Duncan Robinson with the Miami Heat, the shrup 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.919 shooter as well. So Collegel has some he has some 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.240 subs decision to make. But there's there's still a bunch 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.760 of players that I've talked to behind the scenes about 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.119 up the up wars of team that would like the 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:01.120 opportunity to have one of those two spots. U. They'll 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.360 they'll have a good They'll have a good amount of options. 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.040 Why was Kevin Love on the team to begin with? 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:13.760 That is a good question. DP Um experience. I'm just 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:20.040 gonna go with experience, you know, I'll go with that. 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:22.160 That's the best I got, dp I got a lot 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:27.560 of experience. Come on, I this is where I would 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.840 have hoped Julius Randall, Zion Williamson, where you could you 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.440 could have younger players get that opportunity to play in 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.679 Olympic competition. I mean, I mean, that's what I was 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.840 hoping for. And I don't know what's going on behind 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.720 the scenes, but I'm just like, I was really surprised 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.040 that Kevin Love was given an invitation so well. DP 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.159 as far as Zion Williamson goes, it's hard for me 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.280 to believe that Team USA did not ask him to 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.639 play in that like that, that's just like the you know, 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:01.280 that's just like the Golden standard having a young promising 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:04.239 player on the roster of the cord. He didn't even 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:09.639 get an invitation to try out. Now as Zion Zion Zion. 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.479 I can't believe Zion had an opportunity as I had 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.600 an opportunity, which leads me to believe he probably declined. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:22.880 Oh okay, the Jason Kidd hire in Dallas, what does 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:27.280 that mean for Luca don Chick, Well, just somebody who's 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.440 played the game at that position at a high level. Um, 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.080 somebody who I think with the Mavericks are hoping that 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:37.600 Jason Kidd can even accelerate. Uh, Luca's learning curve in 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.840 his NBA and and that's funny to say that, you know, 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.240 saying that, you know that he's an All NBA player 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.480 right now. But Jason Kidd is just just his pedigree, 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:49.600 his knowledge of the game. And they believe that Jason 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.960 Kidd has become a much better coach over the last 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.200 two or three years getting earned a championship with the Lakers. 0:20:56.200 --> 0:20:58.679 I talked to Rob Polinka over there with the Lakers, 0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.040 and he said the things that they were able to do, 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:03.919 that some of the innovative sets that they were putting 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.919 out there on the floor he created Jason Kidd and 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:09.040 so he got a lot of praise over there. Lebron 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:14.160 James also praise Kid. So I think they feel like, um, 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.320 kid can take this team to the next level. Now. 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.639 I want to say this DP is that it was 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:23.919 somewhat in the plans a few years ago, but Jason 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:29.000 Kidd to join the coaching staff of Rick Carlile. Something happened. 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:31.280 I don't know if that would I don't know if 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:35.480 Carlisle didn't want him on the staff, but something had 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.399 happened and to cause that thing to fizzle out, and 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:43.080 so that never transpired, and so Now what ultimately has 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:46.399 happened is the Dallas Mavericks are coming back full circle 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.000 and getting a guy that they want a part of 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.760 organization to begin with. Yeah, but it didn't it didn't 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:54.360 make sense that Rick Carlisle decides to leave a couple 0:21:54.359 --> 0:21:57.199 of years left on his contract. He says, hey, you know, 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:01.280 lucas gonna win multiple championships here. And did it come 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.000 down to Luca didn't want Rick Carlyle as his head 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.919 coach and Mark Cuban had to make that decision to 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:10.840 get rid of him. Well, I'll say this. You know, 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.480 it was a poorly it was a poorly um announced 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:21.000 secret that Luca didn't really get along with Rick Carlis 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.639 you know so that that was that was in within 0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:28.520 league circle. We've heard about that, you know, throughout his tenure. 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.160 You know, Rick carli is a coach who, uh wants 0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.040 a lot of control, and I think he's given control 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:39.000 to Luca because he's just such a great phenomenal player. 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:42.840 But you know, he's used to, you know, controlling the offense, 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:47.320 controlling defense, calling sets, and he had to allow Luca 0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.040 to have more rain being at the player that he 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:54.199 blossom into. But those two guys just never. It was 0:22:54.240 --> 0:22:58.320 never just pure bliss with those two guys, if you 0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:01.960 know what I mean. So I don't have any um 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.800 information to say to Luca. You know, needed call out 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:09.399 to be out to stay there. But it wasn't a 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:13.680 secret that they you know that they made this decision. 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.119 I'm trying to figure out what's going on in Portland 0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:20.640 with Damian Lillard, and I put myself in his position. 0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:24.720
