Episode one six. Now, I promised last 22 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 2: week that today, after the opening block, we would spend 23 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 2: the majority of the rest of the show discussing answering 24 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: listener questions and viewer questions live in our YouTube chat 25 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: as a thank you for the audience getting us to 26 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube. Okay, so I one 27 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: of the reasons I wanted to do it today was 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: because I foolishly thought that there wasn't gonna be a 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: ton of news. It's like it's pre trade deadline. Lebron 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: won't have the record yet, the super Bowl stuff won't 31 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: really get to a fevered pitch until later in the week. 32 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: So what felt like the right day to do it? 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: And Friday afternoon Kyrie demands a trade, and Sunday afternoon, 34 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: Kyrie gets traded, So that obviously is going to be 35 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: the majority of our first segment of the show. We 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: will then get to your listener and viewer questions and comments. 37 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: I will jump into the YouTube chat myself after the 38 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: opening block, and we're gonna try to work this on 39 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: the fly. But first we must start with what we missed. 40 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: Here's what we missed on today's show. Lebron is thirty 41 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: six points away from the record. He could break it 42 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: tomorrow night. If not, he will certainly break it on Thursday. 43 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: Tom Brady's retirement sand auctioned off. I don't buy that 44 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: for one second. I understand people like, oh, someone bid 45 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: half a million dollars until that check clears that nobody 46 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 2: is paying for that. Sand and Kyle Kuzma had a 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: very interesting fit. Kuzma listen, takes a lot of chances 48 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: with his fashion. He's very confident in it. This to 49 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 2: me was a miss. But I like kus, but I 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: think this was a miss. Okay, reminder again, you can 51 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: start with your questions and comments already in the chat 52 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: and I will get to them in the second segment. 53 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: But Demons, I assume we have to start with Kyrie. 54 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 55 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 5: So we were just talking about how Kyrie was on 56 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 5: good behavior on Thursday show. 57 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, and he demanded a trade the very next day. Yeah. 58 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: So now he's headed to Dallas. 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 5: The team up with Cherslovenian son Lucas probably n ended 60 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 5: up being a two pac type of guy. 61 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 4: Deal with Kyrie Irving. Uh huh. 62 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 5: Kyrie is more bound to hurt Dallas than to help 63 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 5: correct long. 64 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: Term, yes, short term, maybe not long term. I think 65 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: that this is the first, maybe not the first, maybe 66 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: screwing up the jail and Brunson extension. The first domino, 67 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: honestly in Luca ultimately leaving Dallas, which I think is 68 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: going to happen. 69 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: I hope, you hope. 70 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: I just think that he deserves better, better, better team 71 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: MASc think. 72 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: He should leave and drive. 73 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: Well, he's got three years after this one left on 74 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 2: his deal, so he's not going to do it immediately, 75 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 2: but he could do it eventually. So the first domino 76 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: in the Luca MAVs tenure not being as great as 77 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 2: it should be given how brilliant he is, was probably 78 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: the Kris STAPs Porzingis trade traded assets for a guy 79 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: who was not the right coastar. The second domino was 80 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: not giving Jalen Brunson four years fifty five million, which 81 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: he would have taken, and then not wanting to give 82 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: him the max last summer, so he then walks. The 83 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: most important domino is now this one where they handicap 84 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: their future flexibility. They trade away a few you pick, 85 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 2: they lose an excellent three and d Piece and Dorian 86 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: Finney Smith maybe their best perimeter defender, and they do 87 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: it for the most unreliable star in the league, one 88 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: of the most unreliable stars in league history, Kyrie Earth. 89 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: Now with that set in the very short term, it 90 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 2: absolutely could work. The defense is not going to be good, 91 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: but the offense will be unstoppable and most importantly, the 92 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: offense which goes to die. This team is zero to 93 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: seven when Luca doesn't play, and they are one of 94 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: the league league's worst offenses when Luke is on the bench. 95 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: Now this team offensively can survive when Luca rests. Also, 96 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: Luca won't be as war and out at the end 97 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: of games, so that's critical come the postseason. Here's what 98 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: we know about Kyrie. He's not scared. Now. I don't 99 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: consider him a legendary postseason performer. I consider him a 100 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: guy who had a legendary postseason stretch in twenty sixteen, 101 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: culminating in one of the biggest shots in league history. 102 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: But it is worth noting that he left Lebron James 103 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: in the summer of twenty seventeen. Okay, we've had the 104 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen, twenty twenty one twenty two, and this is 105 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 2: now the twenty three season. Six years since then, Kyrie 106 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: does not have a single significant postseason moment since then. 107 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, he missed the playoffs with the Celtics. 108 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: The Celtics were there, he wasn't. He was hurt, and 109 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 2: then he didn't show up to Game seven at the 110 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: Boston Garden to even sit on the bench because he's 111 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: had nasal surgery. Twenty nineteen, he flames out in epic fashion, 112 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: demanding to Guardianis and playing. He demanded to Guardianis and 113 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: they lost four consecutive games to the Bucks. Twenty twenty, 114 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: he was hurt and not really interested in playing in 115 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: the playoffs for the Nets in the bubble because Durant 116 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: wasn't there. Twenty twenty one, they look unbelievable in the 117 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: first round against Boston with Harden and Durant. Then Harden 118 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: gets hurt in Game one of that series. Kyrie gets 119 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: hurt in Game four of that series. They lose an 120 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: epic Game seven. Last year, he was awful and they 121 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: got swept yep And now we're to this year. So 122 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: it's been a very long time since Kyrie Irving had 123 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: an impactful playoff moment. With that said, if he's available, 124 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: he's still obviously dangerous. His availability is a huge question, 125 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: and the long term sustainability of this is essentially impossible. 126 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: We know that with this player. Now are the MAVs. 127 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 2: Here's the deal. The MAVs whoever traded for Kyrie he 128 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 2: wanted out of Brooklyn in part because they would not 129 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: in part but because they wouldn't give him the fully 130 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: guaranteed contract all right, The MAVs, whoever traded for him, 131 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: can only give him a two year extension right now. Now. 132 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 2: The MAVs, I'm sure, would love to just sign Kyrie 133 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: to a two year max extension eighty some million bucks. 134 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 2: That is not what Kyrie wants. So Kyrie is going 135 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: to hit free agency this summer. What will he do? 136 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 2: Where will he go? You would think the MAVs, because 137 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: they're trading, they traded all this for him, are willing 138 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: to get in the Kyrie irving business long term. That 139 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: has never worked out for anyone. If they're not willing 140 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: to sign him long term, then they just mortgaged a 141 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: hell of a piece in Dorian Finney Smith. I don't 142 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: care so much about Dinwiddie and a future. First, for 143 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: a few months of Kyrie irving. Now, if you win 144 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 2: the title, it's worth it. But my guess is, even 145 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: if they win the title, this could still result in 146 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: Lucas souring on the team long term. You win a 147 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: title now doesn't mean Lucas in three years going to 148 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 2: like the direction of the franchise, and this long term 149 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: wise will absolutely hurt the direction of the franchise. Every 150 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 2: team that's gotten into the Kyrie Irving business has ended 151 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: up regretting every team he has randomly and shockingly turned. 152 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: He turned on Lebron and the Calves, he turned on 153 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: the Celtics, and he turned on the Nets multiple times. 154 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: Go ahead, it seems like it. 155 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 5: Seems to be something a little different though, like from 156 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 5: Kyrie going to the MAVs to the Nets and from 157 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 5: the Calves, what do you mean Celtics? Actually, yeah, it's 158 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 5: just I don't know, Like I feel like he just 159 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 5: can't keep doing this. 160 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 2: Why not? 161 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 4: It's got to come to a stop. 162 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: So that's where everybody tries to assign logical decision trees 163 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: to Kyrie. He's a obviously and clearly illogical person. It's 164 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 2: not there is he he missed out on over ten 165 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: million dollars and the majority of a season because he 166 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: out of nowhere became vaccine hesitant when that wasn't was 167 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: nowhere in his history. He almost submarined this season because 168 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 2: he refused to back down from promoting a movie that 169 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: I still to this day believe he never even watched. 170 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: And now and and that was that was sandwiched in 171 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: between a trade request in the summer that he changed 172 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: his mind on, and then a new trade request that 173 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 2: came three days after talking about how this Nets team 174 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 2: can't be compared to last year's next team because he's 175 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 2: here now and he wasn't then, and then he demanded 176 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 2: a trade three days later. The idea that Kyrie all 177 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: of it is gonna be like, Okay, now I get it. 178 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 2: No he won't. But in the West this year, with 179 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: the Lakers being run by one of the worst gems 180 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: in sports, with the Warriors and we'll talk about them later, 181 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: Steph getting hurt again, with the Grizzlies probably being a 182 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: piece away, and the Pelicans falling apart. Unless you think 183 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: Denver is this juggernaut. The West is there for the taking. 184 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: So that's why they did it. See if they can 185 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: steal a title this year, but long term that's gonna 186 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 2: be a heavy, heavy build a peg. 187 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 5: All right, Listen, does this package seem better than what 188 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 5: the Lakers could have. 189 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: Offered if the Nets are trying to win right now? Yes, 190 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: Dorian Finney Smith adds defense and three point shooting. Dinwiddie 191 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: gives you sixty five percent of Kyrie's offensive production, and 192 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: they got to pick. The Lakers were offering you Russ 193 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 2: and future picks. The Lakers package is better if you're 194 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: ready to admit. If they were going to trade Durant 195 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: as well, then the Lakers package is. But because they 196 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: are going to try to placate Durant and compete, this 197 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: is the better trade package. 198 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 5: Okay, And do you do you think that a he'll 199 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 5: at all corrupt Luca? Do you think how do you 200 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 5: get that? 201 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 2: I don't think think that'll happen. I think lucas too 202 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 2: strong of a personality basketball wise. We have seen the 203 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: one time Kyrie is one at any level, it was 204 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: alongside Lebron. 205 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't earlier. 206 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 2: Well, and Luca's but Luca's game is it's the most 207 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 2: similar to Lebron or Lebron of anybody, so we know 208 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 2: basketball wise it can work. Now the difference is this 209 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: Lebron when he was with Kyrie was still in the 210 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: discussion for the best defender in the league. Luca is not. 211 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: And now that is going to be a backcourt that 212 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: teams absolutely can score on in Kyrie and Luca. All right, 213 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 2: the next one. 214 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 5: So we've got the pole question. Yeah, we've got the 215 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 5: pole question. Will Kyrie and will the Kyrie Luca paring work? 216 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: Say yes? Fifty? Say no? 217 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, next one? 218 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 5: All right, So now to my man Kevin Durant, who 219 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 5: is stuck on a team that he very clearly wanted 220 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 5: to leave earlier in the season. Yep, no respect to 221 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 5: didn Witty, but the Nets obviously took a step back 222 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: after this trade. 223 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 4: Kadie picked Kyrie as. 224 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 5: His running mate and now he bailed on him. How 225 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 5: embarrassing and sad is is for Kevin Durant. 226 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: Listen, it's he's made an all time historic wonder in 227 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: teaming up with Kyrie. 228 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 5: But go ahead, he tried to get out like that's 229 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 5: the like he did. That's the sad part about it, man. 230 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: He did try to get out, and then Kyrie ended 231 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: up being the one who got out. And I'm not 232 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 2: going to criticize Durant for leaving the Warriors, because we 233 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: all told him he had to leave the Warriors, but 234 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: choosing Kyrie as his running mate was a grievous error. Now, 235 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: let me say something else here. This does give Kevin 236 00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: Durant a golden opportunity for all time legacy stuff. I 237 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: believe historically Jannis is a better player than Kevin Durant. 238 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant now has an opportunity to do something similar 239 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 2: that to what we saw Jannis did. Now I understand 240 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: that he doesn't have a Chris Middleton. I get that, 241 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: And you can say he doesn't have a Drew, But 242 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: that next roster is not a bad roster. 243 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: Right, He's got Seth. 244 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: He's got Seth. They might make another move. You have, right, 245 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: you have Dorian Finney Smith. You have the kid Cam 246 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: Thomas who just got to play the other night and 247 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: scored forty four points the game you were at. He 248 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: You look around the East and does Boston have a 249 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: better roster, yes? Does Philly have a better roster? Yeah? 250 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 2: Does Milwaukee have a better roster? With Middleton the way 251 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: his health concerned, I'm not sure. 252 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: I mean, they just got you, honest, No. 253 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: But my point is this, if Durant, when he comes 254 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: back from this injury, can play like the best player 255 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: in the league, there is now there are no, in 256 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: my opinion, juggernauts in the NBA this year. I don't 257 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: think Boston is a juggernaut. I think they're very good. 258 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: Philly is not a juggernaut. They're very good. Milwaukee right 259 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: now is kind of mismatched a bit. They probably have 260 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: a move that they need to make, and we already 261 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: talked about the West. I think if Durant can be 262 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: healthy and dominant with this supporting cast, going on a 263 00:16:54,040 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: finals run with these guys is a legacy changer. It's 264 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 2: a no doubt. But I am the bus driver, as 265 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 2: Barkley would say, I am the man. He's not in 266 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: a position where the roster is so bereft. We didn't 267 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: even mention Roy so O'Neil. We didn't. There's a there's 268 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: I like the watson Abe kid. I like him, right, yeah. 269 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 4: So. 270 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 2: It we saw in twenty eighteen Lebron carry a Cavs 271 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: roster that is way worse than this one. Yeah, way worse. 272 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,479 Speaker 2: To the NBA Finals now they got smoked by Durant 273 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: and the Warriors, but he got him to the finals. 274 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: We saw Luca last year carry a roster that it 275 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: was worse than this one to the Western Conference finals. 276 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 2: This is an opportunity for Durant to be the guy. 277 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 4: It's nice and I. 278 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 2: Don't mind the pieces they got, and they might have 279 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: an another move to me. So now will he want 280 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: to be their long term? Maybe not, and maybe this 281 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: summer he does get moved. That's absolutely on the board. 282 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 2: But for the here and the now, this is a 283 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: shot at some legacy redemption for Durant because there will 284 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 2: be no question who the man is, no question who 285 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 2: the leader is, no question who the offense has to 286 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: run through at the end of games, and we can 287 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 2: see how far he can carry it. Because here's what 288 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now this moment. If the Nets 289 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 2: had the exact roster that they have, but instead of 290 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant as the league guy, it was Giannis, no 291 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: one would be writing them all, nobody right now this moment. 292 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 2: If the Nets have the exact roster that they have, 293 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: but in that of Kevin Durant as the league guy, 294 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: it was Luca, no one would be writing them all. 295 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 2: I don't know if right now this moment the Nets 296 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 2: had this roster with that many shooters and that many 297 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 2: switchable wings, if the league guy was Lebron James, people 298 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: would be writing them all. It's actually kind of a 299 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: perfect roster for Bron. Yeah, so Durant is supposed to be, 300 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: some argue, the best player in the league. So and 301 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 2: now you don't have to worry about any of the 302 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: off court nonsense with Kyrie, got a decent coach, You 303 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 2: just go play. Jacques Vaughn's done a good job. So 304 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 2: I'm excited to go see it. 305 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 5: Uh, go ahead, not random, but yeah, where does the 306 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 5: where does Harden, Kyrie and Durant Nant's Nets rank ranking? 307 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 4: Failed super team? 308 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 2: Sorry, Oh, I think it's one of the biggest disasters 309 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: in LEAG. 310 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: I think it's the biggest as far as well. 311 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 2: So you don't remember Kobe and Pow got Steve Nash 312 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: and Dwight Howard one summer and people thought that was 313 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 2: going to be an all time team. Everyone then ended 314 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: up getting banged up. They lost I think in round one. Also, 315 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 2: you probably don't remember, and well, I mean you were five, 316 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 2: but the Lakers won three straight titles with Kobe and Shack. 317 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: They then got beat by the Spurs when they're going 318 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: for their fourth title. And the next year they added 319 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: Garry Peyton and Karl Malone, both much older, and that 320 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: team made it all the way to the finals actually, 321 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: but then Malone the Pistons, the four Pistons ended up 322 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 2: crushing them in the finals, I think four games to one. 323 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: There have been, you know, a few of these where 324 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 2: it's like, wait, this should be great. I mean right now, 325 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 2: the I mean the Clippers with Kawhi and Paul George 326 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: is a face old super team, but didn't have three 327 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: guys right. The thing is is Harden was there so briefly. 328 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: It's just a disaster. That Katie and Kyrie played eighty 329 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: seven games too. 330 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 4: I think it might have been less than that. 331 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was exactly eighty seven playoffs combined. 332 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 2: Was a regular season combined. I maybe I'm wrong, but 333 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. I talked about this on Freday. Not 334 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: Katie Kyrie and Hart and Katie Kyrie. I think it's 335 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: eighty seven games together. They won one playoff series together one. 336 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. They won seven total playoff games together. It's 337 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: a disaster, total disaster. 338 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 5: Next all right, So the trade deadline is on Thursday, 339 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 5: so we'll see plenty more action. Obviously, there's a bound 340 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 5: to be a lot of action with thirteen teams in 341 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 5: both conferences still very alive for the postseason. Yeah, the 342 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 5: Kyrie trade showed even Chris Paul's available in the next 343 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 5: few days. Now that Kyrie is gone, who was Lebron 344 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 5: trading for to help him lose in the second round? 345 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: All right? Well, I don't I don't know if they're 346 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 2: losing the second round or not. I also don't know 347 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: if Plinka is going to make a move. There is 348 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 2: a sneaky Bradley Beal move potentially available because Bill is 349 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: on such a horrific contract. 350 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 5: Wait, so you say that Pelinka didn't try to make 351 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 5: a move. You don't think he tried to make a 352 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 5: move towards Carrie. 353 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 2: No, I think he did. It wasn't enough. But my 354 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 2: point is the the Lakers should have made a move 355 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: off for us before the year, and they didn't because 356 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: they were hoping Kyrie might come available. He did, and 357 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: you didn't get him, So the whole reason didn't make 358 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 2: a good offer, right, And I by the way. I 359 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 2: don't know if the Nets were actually going to trade 360 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 2: him to the Lakers, because yeah. 361 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: They're so SI didn't want him to go, right. 362 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: But that's Plinka's job to know those things and to 363 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 2: offer extra Well, Listen, I don't know that you would want. 364 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 2: Reportedly they wanted Russ, Christie's Reeves and all the picks. 365 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 2: You don't have depth already, so I understand that. My 366 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: point is that you're not getting yeah, and then something 367 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 2: else exactly, And so he's got a few days to 368 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: do it. Bradley Beal just signed Demons, a five year, 369 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty million dollars deal for a Bad 370 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: Wizard's team. It started this year. The only way for 371 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 2: them to reboot the way they need to is to 372 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: move off that. So Russ and a couple picks for 373 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: Bradley Beal be a game changer for the Lakers. Zach 374 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: Levine is a possibility for the Lakers. A bunch of 375 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 2: role players from the Jazz are a possibility for the Lakers. 376 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: There are moves to make, and I believe it is 377 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 2: incumbent upon the Lakers to make one, even if it 378 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 2: you don't if you were willing to give a up 379 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 2: both of those picks for Kyrie and his unreliability, then 380 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 2: you've got to be willing to give up those picks 381 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: for another guy that gives you a third legitimate scoring 382 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: for you. Just have to do it. The team does 383 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: not have enough shooting, It does not have enough depth 384 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: right now, with your best player being thirty eight years 385 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 2: old and your second best player being one of the 386 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: most injury prone guys in the league. 387 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 5: All right, next, al right, your boy pat Pastor Mahomes 388 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 5: is a game away from entering a truly elite roof 389 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 5: of quarterbacks. 390 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 4: Only twelve quarterbacks have won multiple Super Bowls in their career. 391 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 5: However, with the loss, the narrative may spin against him 392 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 5: if he plans to make a run on be in 393 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 5: the goat one day. Is Mahomes at risk of digging 394 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 5: himself into deep of hole with a loss in the 395 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 5: Super Bowl this year? 396 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 2: It would be very, very difficult. And it's not so 397 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 2: much because he would have lost the Super Bowl and 398 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: be like, oh, now he's lost too. These idiots that 399 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 2: think it'd be better to lose earlier in the playoffs 400 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 2: than later in the playoffs sense to me like his 401 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 2: legacy would be better if he had just lost to 402 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 2: the Bengals like he did last year, Like it's dumb. 403 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 2: But here's where I think it's critical that they win 404 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 2: this year. Legacy wise, Andy Reid and Travis Kelcey are 405 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 2: not going to be around for him. Kelsey is the 406 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: best tight endeavor and he's old. He's older than grind 407 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: retired twice already. Andy Reid is I think the second 408 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 2: or third oldest coach in the NFL. Now, he'll coach 409 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 2: for a long time, but Kelsey playing at this level 410 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: is not guaranteed for you know, more than another year 411 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: or so. And you've got to have multiple rings. With 412 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: Mahomes and Kelsey together, the most talented quarterback, the best 413 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: tight endeavor, those two guys together, you need multiple rings. 414 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 2: We'll talk a lot more about the Super Bowl on 415 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: Thursday show when I'm down there, but. 416 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, Mahomes, if they win Sunday, he has the greatest 417 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 6: opening five years of any NFL player ever. 418 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 2: I understand Brady in his first five years, Starter won 419 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 2: three super Bowls, but the other two years one year 420 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 2: he missed the playoffs, the other year he went out 421 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: in Round two and he won zero league MVPs. Obviously, Mahomes' 422 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: first five years, wins two MVPs, wins two super Bowls, 423 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 2: goes to a third, and makes the only years he 424 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: didn't go to the Super Bowl, he lost in overtime 425 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 2: of the conference championship game. It's a pretty unimpeachable record. Also, 426 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: if Patrick Mahomes wins this Super Bowl, the complete list 427 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: of quarterbacks in NFL history with multiple league MVPs and 428 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 2: multiple Super Bowls Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Mahomes. 429 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 2: That's it. If Mahomes wins this Super Bowl, wins Super 430 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 2: Bowl MVP, the complete list of quarterbacks with multiple league 431 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 2: MVPs and multiple Super Bowl MVP will be Tom Brady, 432 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 2: Joe Montana, Patrick Mahomes. That's the list. So he already, 433 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 2: in my opinion, is one of the five greatest quarterbacks ever. 434 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 2: He will have an argument that he is top three 435 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: if he wins the Super Bowl, and I think he 436 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 2: will talk more about that on the Gambling show that 437 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: comes out tomorrow. All Right, we're gonna jump in do 438 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: a little on staph and then I will jump into 439 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 2: your guys comments.

We're gonna spend the rest of the 452 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 2: show answering your guys listener questions. I have the chat open, 453 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 2: so I'm gonna be uh, I'm gonna be going through 454 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 2: it here shortly, but demonte go ahead with the Steph 455 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 2: Curry topic. 456 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 5: Yeah, so Steph got banged up the other night. I 457 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 5: forgot he bumped knees with some other guy. I forget 458 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 5: his name, but yeah, so he's gonna miss multiple weeks 459 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 5: with this knee injury. The Warriors is only a game 460 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: above five hundred at the moment, yep, is there season over? 461 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 4: Yeah? 462 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 2: I think they're cooked. They weren't that good with Steph, 463 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: right facts, and this is a team that is seven 464 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: and twenty on the road. This is a team whose 465 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 2: young players have not improved. This is a team that 466 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 2: had one guy punch another guy in the face and 467 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 2: it seemed to really hurt the vibes for the year. 468 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 2: And now we have less than thirty games remaining, and 469 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 2: I just don't see a path forward for them. I 470 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: understand they be the MAVs the other night, but Luca 471 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 2: was out injured, go ahead to Moseley. 472 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 5: I think it'd be good for them though, like Steph 473 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 5: being hurt, I feel like forces the younger players to 474 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 5: find some type of rhythm and like it might mean 475 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 5: that the rest of this season. 476 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 4: I guess the question was how they cooked for this season? 477 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, which, but I feel like it might be like 478 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 5: a little bit of like some building blocks into the 479 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 5: next season. 480 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 2: Possibly, Man, I don't know, because the they have a 481 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: big Draymond Green question after this year. Yeah, I don't 482 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 2: think it's realistic to expect Clay to get better. You 483 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 2: just hope he can maintain you know, Draymond, we assume 484 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: is probably gonna opt out after this year and look 485 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 2: for big money. Do you want to give him that? 486 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: And you know, Wiseman's been a total bust for them, unfortunately, 487 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: and they right now are one game up, one game 488 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 2: out of the eleven seed. And if you look right 489 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 2: now at the teams that there are three teams not 490 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 2: in the playoffs right now that are still alive in 491 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: the West, Portland, OKC, and the Lakers. Those teams all 492 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 2: have twenty five or twenty six wins. The Warriors have 493 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 2: twenty seven. You're saying, well, I'm saying that while maybe 494 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: the Jazz play themselves out of the play in because 495 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 2: they're right now the ten seeds. The Pelicans are not 496 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 2: going to the Pelicans, assuming Zion comes back, they're going 497 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: to get it back together. I mean, they've obviously had 498 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 2: a terrible stretch, but you know they still they have 499 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 2: one more win than Golden State does. If we think 500 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 2: the Lakers are going to fight, I find a way 501 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: into that top ten, and if we think Portland is 502 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 2: not going to strip it down at the deadline, We're 503 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: gonna find out a lot at the deadline as far 504 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 2: as who does what there's going to be some team 505 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 2: that falls out or teams that fall out. Golden State, 506 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 2: to me is primed for them. So I think it 507 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: is absolutely on the board, absolutely on the board that 508 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: Golden State misses the playoffs entirely, and that would be 509 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 2: a disaster for them as the defending champions. Uh okay, 510 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: all right, now let's get to the listener comments. I 511 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 2: saw one of these when I was scrolling it during 512 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 2: the break saying that saying that Tony Gonzalez was a 513 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: better title than Travis Kelce. That is not a viable opinion. Told, 514 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 2: if you want to argue gronk all, listen to it. 515 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 2: I disagree with you, but Tony Gonzalez is not a 516 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 2: viable option for it is the Kelsey's biggest weaknesses is blocking. 517 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 2: He was a better blocker than Tony. Listen. I love Tony. 518 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 2: Tony was one of my favorite players ever growing up. 519 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: He was a chief and Tony was an excellent receiving threat. 520 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:29,719 Speaker 2: But Tony Gonzalez had in his career career four seasons 521 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 2: of more than a thousand yards in his entire career, 522 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey has had seven seasons in a row of 523 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 2: more than a thousand yards. Tony Gonzalez in his career 524 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 2: had three double digit touchdown seasons. Travis Kelsey has already 525 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: had three in the last five years. Tony Gonzalez in 526 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 2: his career in the postseason had thirty catches for two 527 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty six yards and four touchdowns. Travis Kelcey 528 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 2: in his career has one hundred and twenty seven playoff catches, 529 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: almost fifteen hundred yards and fifteen touchdowns. Travis Kelcey is 530 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 2: second all time in playoff catches, touchdowns, and receptions, not 531 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: amongst tight ends. Amongst all players, Kelsey, Gronk, and Shannon 532 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: are the three best tight ends ever. And I think 533 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 2: Kelsey is without question. I shouldn't say without question, but 534 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 2: I think Kelsey is the best. 535 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 5: UH. 536 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 2: How to upload in full quality rights? What NBA franchise 537 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: has the best five year outlook? Listen? If Zion can 538 00:33:54,680 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 2: be healthy, New Orleans is in great shape, they have 539 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 2: a billion picks, they have movable contracts, and Zion's a star. 540 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 2: The answer to me is not the MAVs now that 541 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 2: they've traded for Kyrie. I don't think that's a five 542 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 2: year plan. I think they hope it's a five month plan. 543 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 4: The Rockets, Oh, that's what I was thinking. 544 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 2: Especially if they can get Wimby or Scoop in this 545 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: year's draft. Also, keep in mind the Rockets have the 546 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 2: next future picks, so the next trade KD and have 547 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 2: to start over. Those are great assets for them, great 548 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: assets for them and the Grizzlies. I think they need 549 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 2: another piece. But obviously also you know what I mean, 550 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 2: they're young and excellent. I'm gonna throw one other team 551 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 2: in there. What go ahead? It seems like you. 552 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 4: Want to say something. No, I was just gonna say 553 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 4: something about John Morant, but it's you. 554 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 2: Know, you're okay, you're worried about his health or you're 555 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 2: worried about his demeanor. Yeah, yeah, I think John didn't 556 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 2: surround himself with the best people. 557 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it's. 558 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 2: A little worrisome. The Calves are the other interesting one, 559 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 2: especially if in a year Lebron goes back there at 560 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 2: age forty to be a like contributor. Because the one 561 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 2: they they have the centers, they have power forward, they 562 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 2: have the guards. They just don't have a small forward, 563 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 2: which Lebron could maybe slide into if they draft Bronnie. 564 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: I think that's an I think that's on the board. 565 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 2: Somebody said, which NFL End of Season award do you 566 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 2: think is most likely to not go to the current favorite? 567 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 2: Let me see if I can find the end of 568 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 2: season awards favorites. I'm not sure that I can find it. Actually, 569 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 2: I just see all these Super Bowl props, So right now, 570 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 2: I think it's very clear. Mahomes is winning MVP. NICKI 571 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 2: Bosa is winning Defensive Player of the Year, and I 572 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 2: think Justin Jefferson will win Offensive Player of the Year too. 573 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 2: Sauce Gardner's definitely gonna win Defensive Rookie of the Year. 574 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 2: Offensive Rookie of the Year, I'm not sure. Could be 575 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 2: a lave, could be Garrett Wilson. I wonder if Rock 576 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 2: Purty is going to get some love for Offensive Rookie 577 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 2: of the Year. Yeah, I don't think it will be 578 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 2: Pierced the running back from Houston. Uh. Let me, Nick, 579 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: what's the worst bet you've ever made? I the Jayhawks, 580 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 2: the Kansas Jayhawks Memphis Tigers played in the National Championship 581 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 2: Game in eight Memphis was favored by three and a 582 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 2: half and I paid minus one forty to bet them 583 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 2: laying two and a half and let meet Tigers Jayhawks 584 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 2: National Championship box score. Let me read you what happened there, Demanse. 585 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 2: And this was a I laid fourteen hundred to win, 586 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 2: to win a thousand, which was way more money than 587 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 2: I had like that. It was two thousand and eight 588 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 2: and I didn't have that type of money. I felt 589 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 2: so confident in what was gonna happen. I did that, 590 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 2: and here's how that game ended, Demanse. It's unbelievable. Again. 591 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 2: I need the Memphis Tigers to win by at least 592 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 2: three points. They were three and a half point favorites. 593 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 2: I paid a huge viig to get them down to 594 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 2: minus two and a half with two minutes and twelve 595 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 2: seconds left, Demonse, the score is sixty one to fifty. 596 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 2: They're up nine in a college basketball game. Again, it's 597 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 2: sixty to fifty one. I think might have said it 598 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 2: wrong there. It's sixty to fifty one with two minutes left. Yeah, 599 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 2: and then Kansas makes a bucket. Kansas makes a three, 600 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, it's a four point game 601 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 2: with a min and a half left. They then both 602 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 2: Memphis hits two free throws, Kansas HiT's two free throws. Okay, 603 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 2: not good. Kansas fowls Memphis one in one missed, no good. 604 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 2: It's a four point game. Kansas goes down and scores. 605 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 2: They're down two. Memphis then has the ball. There's thirty 606 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 2: seconds left. They miss a shot. Okay, now I'm sick. 607 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: Kansas then misses a shot. You know what, Hold on, 608 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 2: let me get this right. Yeah. Uh, Kansas actually gets 609 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 2: called for an offensive foul. Memphis goes to the line, 610 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 2: missus two free throws. Kansas gets the ball, does nothing. 611 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 2: Memphis gets found up to Derek Rose, misses the first, 612 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 2: makes the second. Memphis is up three with ten seconds left, 613 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 2: and Mario Chalmers goes down the court and hits a 614 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 2: game tying three and Kansas wins by seven in overtime. 615 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 2: That was crushing. I think about that bet to this day. 616 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 2: All right, let me find another one. 617 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 4: They lose money to Mario Chalmers. 618 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:45,480 Speaker 2: I know, Mario unbelievable. Uh do you think Brady Mahomes 619 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 2: becomes Jordan Lebron one will have all the other, all 620 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 2: the rings, the other will have all the stats. I mean, 621 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 2: if Mahomes gets to within two rings of Brady the 622 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,480 Speaker 2: way Lebron has gotten with Jordan, then people will acknowledge 623 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 2: Mahomes the greatest ever. If Malmes gets the five rings 624 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 2: in this era with his numbers and his eye test, 625 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 2: the real question is if Mahomes finishes with like three, 626 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 2: people consider him the goat. Uh Nick, what's the worst 627 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 2: take you've ever had? I mean, the one I'm probably 628 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 2: most famous for is I said. 629 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 4: Are you talking about what are you gonna say? Wiggans 630 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 4: Warriors take? 631 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 2: I said that the Warriors were never gonna regret know 632 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 2: that they were gonna regret getting Durant. Oh, that they 633 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 2: should have just that they it was the best team 634 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 2: I'd ever seen, the seventy three win team, and they 635 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: overreacted to Lebron beating them. They should just run the 636 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 2: thing back, and that it wouldn't work with Durant. That 637 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 2: was bad. 638 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 4: That was way worse than the Wigans. 639 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 2: W All right, let me find another one. Uh Hey, Nick, 640 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 2: I know you said the other day that Daniel Jones 641 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 2: would have no suitors if you left the Giants. What 642 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 2: would you think about Miami possibly getting I think Miami 643 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,239 Speaker 2: is rolling with tool, But I didn't say you'd have 644 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 2: no suitors. Daniel Jones would have plenty of suitors. I 645 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 2: just don't think he's good. I don't think it would 646 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 2: be money well spent. Uh but I but I Daniel Jones. 647 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,600 Speaker 2: Quarterbacks are hard to find and teams will trick themselves 648 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: into it. Uh, let me find another one here. 649 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 7: Ah. 650 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,719 Speaker 5: Marcus Hravino says, is signing this past extension with the 651 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 5: Lakers Lebron's biggest career mistake. 652 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 2: I think it's a huge mistake. I didn't get at 653 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 2: the time. I I didn't understand it. I still don't 654 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 2: understand it. I it's a baffling move. It's truly baffling move. Yeah, 655 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 2: you go ahead. 656 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 5: There was a fan in there to ask you about, like, 657 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,839 Speaker 5: what was like your worst take? Do you think that 658 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 5: if the Eagles ended up winning the Super Bowl this year, 659 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,319 Speaker 5: that the way that you talked about them throughout the 660 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,279 Speaker 5: entire season could end up being like one of your 661 00:41:59,280 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 5: worst take? 662 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 2: Pretty bad? Yeah, I mean it would not be good 663 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 2: for me. But I did that once before. This is 664 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 2: the nervous part. I I have some experience with that. 665 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 2: Not because I didn't believe in the Bucks Brady's first 666 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 2: year there and I thought Brady was cooked and then 667 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 2: they played My Chiefs in the Super Bowl and crushed them, 668 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 2: so that one wasn't good. Uh, let me find another one. 669 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 2: What sports talk show do you think is your top competition? 670 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 5: Uh? 671 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 2: I think if we're talking about shows on the other network, 672 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 2: I think NFL Live is really good. I gotta give 673 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 2: them credit. They have great chemistry, they have fun, they're smart. 674 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 2: Mina is brilliant. I love Marcus Spears and that's a 675 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 2: really good show. And it's on during my show, so 676 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That's a bummer. There's a 677 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 2: lot of good shows out there, but I think they 678 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 2: do a really, really good job. Nick. Why is nobody 679 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 2: besides you, obviously, John, about how impressive it is that 680 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,760 Speaker 2: after trading Tyreek, the Chiefs are back the Super Bowl 681 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 2: after crushing a load of AFC. Because people don't like 682 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 2: to admit that their idiotic takes were wrong. One thing 683 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 2: that I will give myself credit for is when I 684 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 2: do get things wrong, I own it. I don't pretend 685 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 2: I didn't say it. Our friend Dusty Techan with how 686 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 2: you not mentioned the twenty seventeen Eagles as your worst take? 687 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 2: I think that was still defensible. The twenty seventeen Eagles, 688 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,719 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz was in route to winning League MVP. He 689 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 2: broke his leg with two weeks left in the season, 690 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 2: and I said, well, they can't win the Super Bowl. 691 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 2: Then the whole reason this team's been awesome is because 692 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 2: of your quarterback. He broke his leg, so you can't 693 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. Nick Foles came in and it's 694 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 2: not like the defns carried him. Brady played them in 695 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Brady threw for five hundred yards and 696 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,440 Speaker 2: the Eagles hung on the Patriots defense. Like, I don't 697 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 2: think that was an indefensible take. It was just Nick 698 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 2: Foles and out of body experience for a month. Uh, Nick, 699 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 2: Is Demanse still By the way, Demanse's name does not 700 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,759 Speaker 2: have an E in it. Every demon Yeah, everybody thinks 701 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,720 Speaker 2: it's it. It would be. It's spelled like it's it's literally. 702 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,879 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Is Demansei still gonna be on the show 703 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 2: when he moves? He's great on the show. He's a 704 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 2: foil to Nick who talks sports all the time. So 705 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 2: Demanse is definitely going to be on the show in 706 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 2: some capacity when he moves. We haven't actually yet fleshed 707 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 2: it all out. There's going to be a transition period 708 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 2: where uh, Demanse's mom and his older sister fill in 709 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 2: for him during the move and during the beginning of 710 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 2: his time in LA while he kind of gets settled, 711 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,200 Speaker 2: figures out what the day to day in the office 712 00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 2: life is like, gets his apartment situated. So there's going 713 00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 2: to be a at least, you know, like a six 714 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 2: week period or so where he's definitely not on and 715 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 2: then once he's fully settled with the office job in 716 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,359 Speaker 2: LA we figure out logistically how it could work. We're 717 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,120 Speaker 2: then going to determine if he's going to be on 718 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 2: every show as he is now, how we're gonna do it. 719 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 2: So there will be a period where Demanday's gone. He 720 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 2: then will be back in some capacity. We haven't quite, 721 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 2: to be totally honest, figured out all the logistics of 722 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 2: it and the technical side of. 723 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 4: It just yet. 724 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, people have been nice to you, man. 725 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 4: People appreciate that. 726 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,919 Speaker 2: Some of the I don't know if you checked any 727 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 2: of the comments from the piece I did on Brady 728 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 2: and parenting and the tough decisions. People were very nice 729 00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 2: to you in that as well.

But I'm gonna 829 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 2: go Shack. 830 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 5: So similar Okay, uh not, actually not when you get 831 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 5: to that two and three. But yeah, Curry at the one, 832 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 5: who is it? Ray Allen at the two, Vince Carter 833 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 5: is my three, Yannis is the four, and Shack at 834 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:37,879 Speaker 5: the five. 835 00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:43,000 Speaker 2: Son, No, you're going Vince Carter over Bron. Yeah, Okay, 836 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:44,800 Speaker 2: that's a terrible idea. 837 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 5: Telling you man Shack and Giannice at the four and 838 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 5: five just makes up for you got Stephan there and 839 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,439 Speaker 5: then you got Ray Allen.

Somebody said Steph over Magic only for 843 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:04,240 Speaker 2: that team, because that team needs spacing and shooting. And 844 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:09,719 Speaker 2: if I'm gonna have Giannis and Shack as my front court, 845 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 2: Lebron can shoot. Obviously, Jordan wasn't a great three point 846 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 2: shooter with great mid range. Steph gives me and Lebron 847 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,279 Speaker 2: can give me all the things Magic could give me. 848 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,319 Speaker 4: Okay, you know what I mean? 849 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 2: So like the The other option is to try to 850 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:28,760 Speaker 2: go like crazy long athletic and have le Bron play 851 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 2: the one, Jordan play the two, Gianni's play the three, 852 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 2: Dream play the four, and Kareem play the five and 853 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,880 Speaker 2: to just no one would be able to score a 854 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:44,600 Speaker 2: point on you. 855 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what. 856 00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 2: You wouldn't have great shooting, but defensively it'd be totally unstoppable. 857 00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 4: Uh, switch out Kawhi for Vince Carter. 858 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 2: By the way, so now you're taking Kawhi over Lebron. 859 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 2: That's smart? This is it's no sense. Uh. Somebody says, 860 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,839 Speaker 2: has an athlete ever confronted you for something you said 861 00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,640 Speaker 2: to him?

Richie Incognito, who was pretty much well 880 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 2: known at the time for being one of the most unhinged, 881 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,240 Speaker 2: dangerous people in the league. He had just gotten into 882 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:52,040 Speaker 2: trouble because well, a lot of things. It was part 883 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,239 Speaker 2: of the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal, but that's not the 884 00:54:55,280 --> 00:55:02,960 Speaker 2: big problem. He then went on to shoot up his 885 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 2: own Lamborghini or Ferrari with an assault rifle. Allegedly, he 886 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 2: was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold for getting in 887 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:19,920 Speaker 2: a fight at a lifetime fitness He then went to 888 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,760 Speaker 2: a funeral home where his father was being His father's 889 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 2: body was being prepared he had two glocks, three rifles, 890 00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:33,440 Speaker 2: a silencer in his truck, and he said he wanted 891 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 2: to cut his father's head off for research purposes, so 892 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 2: the cops had to come get him. When they got there, 893 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:45,279 Speaker 2: he was walking through the funeral home punching caskets and 894 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:50,279 Speaker 2: throwing objects. He also, it should be noted, is six 895 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 2: three three forty and he has walked up to me 896 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 2: in this restaurant because I said that the Raiders should 897 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 2: cut him and that he's a lunatic. And I was like, 898 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:10,280 Speaker 2: he might hit me, like he might beat me to death, 899 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 2: and there's I've gotten no moves. And he had just 900 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,720 Speaker 2: posted because the Raiders signed him or re signed him, 901 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:25,319 Speaker 2: like his own sizzle real highlights that underneath it was 902 00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 2: my commentary roasting him. And I'm like, this guy's so mad, 903 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:36,319 Speaker 2: and I think he wanted me to like apologize, but 904 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 2: I'm in front of my wife and her friend. I'm 905 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:43,320 Speaker 2: not gonna apologize. So I was like, Eh, congrats on 906 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,960 Speaker 2: the deal. He's like, yeah, you didn't think I would 907 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,879 Speaker 2: get it. It's like I didn't. Good for you, man, 908 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 2: Hope you keep it up. It's like okay, and shook 909 00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,400 Speaker 2: my hand again and squeezed the shit out of it, 910 00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 2: pardon me. Then went back to his table, and Danielle 911 00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 2: has no idea who he is, obviously knows none of 912 00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,279 Speaker 2: this story. And she says, you know, she has like 913 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 2: this amazing. 914 00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 4: And so with the telepathic stuff. 915 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, she was like, that guy's crazy. I'm like, I know, 916 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 2: how do you know? She's like, you could see it 917 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 2: in his eyes. She's like, he wanted to hurt you. 918 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I think so. So that's the worst one. 919 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 2: Robert Griffin the third confronted me on the air, like 920 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 2: my commentary prevented teams from signing him, as opposed to 921 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 2: his terrible play preventing teams from signing him. 922 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,520 Speaker 4: But double down on it right now. 923 00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 2: I've never liked that guy. I'm nicer to him now 924 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 2: because he's in the industry and we're not supposed to 925 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 2: take shots at other broadcasters, but I've never liked him. Nick, 926 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 2: are you a fan of the Pat McAfee show. Do 927 00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:51,600 Speaker 2: you like what he's on in the sports world? I 928 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 2: don't watch Pat show, but I'm wildly impressed with what 929 00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,960 Speaker 2: he's done. What he's done is a great story of 930 00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,360 Speaker 2: betting on yourself and hitting it huge. I've Pats a 931 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 2: massive success story, a huge talent. He's fantastic. Nick, do 932 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:10,439 Speaker 2: you really think Lebron would beat Jordan one on one 933 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,760 Speaker 2: both in primes? I do, because he's so much bigger 934 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,080 Speaker 2: and stronger. But I also think that is a terrible 935 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 2: measure of basketball. 936 00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:17,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 937 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,160 Speaker 2: I just think that's not at all the measure of 938 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:27,360 Speaker 2: what makes someone great, Like I think that, you know, 939 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 2: James Harden might cook Tim Duncan one on one. Tim 940 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 2: Duncan's one of the eight greatest players in the history 941 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 2: of the league. So I just think one on one 942 00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 2: is silly. 943 00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 3: Uh. 944 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:46,320 Speaker 2: Let me see if I can squeeze in a couple more, uh, Nick. 945 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,400 Speaker 2: Do you think Darvin Ham's terrible rotations have escaped Flame? 946 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 2: I do, But I also think him getting Russ to 947 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,280 Speaker 2: accept the role that he's gotten, and Anthony Davis playing 948 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 2: at the level that he's played at when he's healthy, 949 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,440 Speaker 2: he deserves credit for that. Nick. What player would you 950 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 2: want to see get traded to a better situation other 951 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 2: than Lebron just to make the league better? Dame. I'd 952 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:12,400 Speaker 2: like to see Dame in big games on a contender. Nick, 953 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,080 Speaker 2: If you met Lebron in person, I have do I 954 00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 2: have any pictures with him? I don't. I don't take 955 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,120 Speaker 2: pictures like with I take pictures if someone wants to 956 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 2: take a picture with me, but I don't ever ask 957 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:29,480 Speaker 2: people for pictures, Nick, if I go to one sports 958 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,000 Speaker 2: book as far as which one's the best, if you 959 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:38,080 Speaker 2: want to go in person, the Circus Sports Book off 960 00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 2: the strip in Vegas is pretty phenomenal as far as 961 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,800 Speaker 2: what they have, as far as the TV screens and 962 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 2: how big of a what they're set up is, Nick, 963 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 2: your top five receivers of all time, Rice and Randy 964 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,400 Speaker 2: have to be there, and then it gets very tough. 965 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:00,280 Speaker 2: I got it. I don't want to just of that 966 01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:05,400 Speaker 2: list flippantly without thinking about it. 967 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 5: This Stanley Stanley Gifner would oh, Stanley Gifner, No. Would 968 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,920 Speaker 5: Adopting relegation for the bottom teams in the NBA detaed 969 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 5: teams from tanking. 970 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 2: I like the relegation model. The problem is you can't. 971 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 2: It doesn't work the way the NBA, the way American 972 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 2: sports are formatted, because you can't have a G League 973 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,800 Speaker 2: team promoted, you know what I mean, Like, you just can't, 974 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 2: and so it wouldn't work in that regard. I do 975 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 2: I think relegations smart and a cool thing, but the 976 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:43,919 Speaker 2: European soccer leagues are just formatted so differently. Somebody asked 977 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:45,880 Speaker 2: de Monte, could he beat JJ Reddick one on one 978 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,920 Speaker 2: right now? The answer to that is no, I could 979 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 2: JJ Reddick. Yeah, okay, I I. 980 01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,960 Speaker 4: What are were probably the same heightn't you might be 981 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 4: a little shorter than me. 982 01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, but recently retired from the NBA. Very good. Yeah, 983 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:05,919 Speaker 2: he was very good. 984 01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 4: I just retired from basketball. 985 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:15,400 Speaker 2: Like, okay, okay, good point. Uh, Dan Patrick and Colin Cowhard. Nick, 986 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,240 Speaker 2: come out and tell us what you did to get 987 01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 2: where you are. I mean, the very short version is 988 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 2: an asinine amount of hard work and a whole lot 989 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 2: of good luck. That's those are the that's the short version. 990 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,000 Speaker 2: Do you think there's an argument to made the honest 991 01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:34,360 Speaker 2: are the best player in the world right now? I 992 01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,240 Speaker 2: don't think there's an argument to be made against it. 993 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,840 Speaker 2: I think he's clearly and unequivocally the best player in 994 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,880 Speaker 2: the world. Uh, the Nick, Do you and Lebron have 995 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 2: any relationship at all? I have a very very good, 996 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 2: close relationship with Maverick, Lebron's business partner. We've been to 997 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 2: each other's houses, were Maverick I would call a legitimate 998 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:04,160 Speaker 2: personal friend. I have a good relationship with Rich Rich, 999 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,480 Speaker 2: Paul Lebron's agent, also Rich who got a lot of 1000 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:12,200 Speaker 2: airtime at the Grammy's yesterday because he's dating Adele. I 1001 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 2: don't have a relationship with Lebron other than to say hello. 1002 01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 2: It's nothing bad, It's just we've never our paths have 1003 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 2: never really crossed. I've never lived in the same city 1004 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 2: he played in, so we have had a lot of 1005 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,960 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But I'm I'm friendly with 1006 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 2: people in his orbit. And last time I saw Lebron, 1007 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,560 Speaker 2: he was at a nightclub in Houston, and he seemed 1008 01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 2: happy to see me, and we dapped each other up. 1009 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 2: But that's the extent of it, not like not someone 1010 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,920 Speaker 2: that I can text with or that I can be 1011 01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,640 Speaker 2: honest to call a friend. I just think he's the 1012 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,959 Speaker 2: greatest athlete ever lived. All Right, fun show.
