Doug Gottlieb's going 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:17.040 to stop by, and it's a house call here in 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.240 the Mank. We'll talk about the NBA Draft coming up tonight. 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.800 Phone call is always welcome. Operator Tyler standing by eight 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.080 seven seven three, DP show Email address DP at dan 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:30.080 Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. I just 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.360 mentioned Shohei Otani had an incredible last two games. Struck 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.360 out thirteen batters. Previous game had eight RBIs. He's the 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:44.040 only player in baseball history to have those two games 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:48.040 in a career, and he did that in consecutive games. 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:50.680 I asked Paulie, I said, could you check what Babe 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.880 Ruth did. The most strikecounts he ever had in a 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.560 game eleven, the most RBIs he had in a game seven, 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:03.000 which he did four different times. Showhyutani eight RBIs and 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.560 then follows that up with thirteen strikeouts. It's incredible. You know, 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.360 when your only competition is Babe Ruth, Wow, you're in 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.959 some pretty select company. There so over a hundred years ago. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:20.280 That's what we're looking at with shoe Heyutani. All right, 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.280 final hour poll question setan, what do you have for us? 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.560 Let me update you Dan, so far from the first 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.560 hour we had, which would have been worse calling the 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.600 six man or not calling the sixth oh last night 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.160 the controversy. Steve Levy from the mother Ship will join 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:39.160 us on this non call. Last night, fifty five percent 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.720 of the audience that it would have been worse if 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.160 they had called. I agree, having too many men on 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.759 the ice, I agree, I agree too. I agree. Yeah. 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:50.560 The Lightning now down three games to one, series shifts 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.240 back to Colorado. Stan Cronkie is going to do something, 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.640 or least on the verge of something it's never been 0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.680 done before. He could win two championships same year. Owner 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:05.040 of the ABS, owner of the Rams could have I 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.919 don't think anybody has any owner had two championships in 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.600 a calendar year. The owner slam. Yeah, I don't know 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.400 if it's an owner's slam. But Stan Cronkie, owner of 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:21.640 the ABS and owner of the Rams. We mentioned Roger 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.120 Goodell taken some heat and DC Daniel Snyder has been 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.440 subpoenaed to talk about the UH the workplace environment there 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.080 with the Washington commanders. I don't know if he's going 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:34.679 to show up, and then if he does, I don't 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.720 know if anything changes here. I would just say to 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.440 the other NFL owners, do you want to be in 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.959 business with this guy? Is he good business? Yeah? More? 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.000 I think that's what would anger me the most. Files 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.000 Roger Goodell. It's not like you're a good team or 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.600 winning super Bowls. You guys have been terrible on the 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.200 field and you've been bad for business off the field too, 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.360 Like what good are you to us? Although you know, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.480 if you watch yesterday, you saw what he does. He 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.840 saw what the commissioner does. He protects the owners no 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.079 matter who it is. He makes money and he protects them. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.799 That's why he gets paid sixty million dollars. By the way, 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.760 too many Men on the Ice was called one hundred 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.839 ninety three times in thirteen hundred regular season games. This year, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.120 it's been called nineteen times in eighty seven postseason games 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.359 so far. Of the nineteen times it's been called in 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.400 the playoffs, six have been against the Tampa Bay Lightning. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.840 But you can go back to last year game seven 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.200 against the Islanders. They won one nothing and there was 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.560 a call, or should have been a call at least. 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.920 You know that the hockey fans are saying, well, if 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.960 you're going to call it, you wanted it called last night, 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.920 should have been called against Tampa Bay last year against 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.120 the Islanders. A roundabout way of me saying that this 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:50.600 has happened before it happens a lot. Let's see anything 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.440 else that needs to be mentioned. As I say, going 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.000 back to Goodell and Daniel Seider, remember when Adam Silver 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.280 took over the NBA and quickly he was handed the 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.840 Donald Sterling Clippers situation. Yes, he pulled that band aid 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.520 quick He booted that guy and gave it the balmer 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.480 and that was that's his initial legacy. I guess you 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.800 called him the lack of a better phrasement. That's set 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.880 the tone of Adam Silver is gonna address issues like 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.760 this and not distance himself or push him back. Ron 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.839 and Charlotte, Hey, Ron, what's on your mind? Yeah? Five nine, 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.800 two eleven. Yeah, you guys catch mister Levy last night 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:28.480 he said thirty sex goals versus thirty six seconds. I 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.359 didn't know if you had a big live shoot up 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.279 like mister Levity last night. I did not. I did not. 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.120 I didn't catch that. But Steve Levy joining us on 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.720 the program leaves, of course, is part of the host 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.560 duties there with Sports Center, ESPN, ABC. He's been on 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.640 site with Mark Messier, Chris Chelios and Emily Kaplan on 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.480 ice reporter leaves joints. This now leaves how's morale in 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:58.599 Tampa Morning DP And that gentleman's right. I meant to 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.480 say thirty six seconds and I said thirty sex second. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:11.360 Who hasn't been there? Right? So I'm feeling I'm feeling great. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.480 I don't think John Cooper's that happy. And the lightning 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.919 was also to chaos in controversy. It was one of 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.240 those it took a really long time to develop. It 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.520 was a weird game from start to finish stand and 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.200 then at the end, you know, nope, at first glance, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.320 I don't think anybody in the ice knew that puck 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.320 went in, not even the guy who shot it or 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.400 the goalie took boone and by him the defenseman to 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.320 come all the way from the blue lighter swooping behind 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.279 the net to show everybody where the puck was actually 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.400 and then so then we figured out, okay, it's over, 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.760 which was kind of reminiscent. Remember Patrick Kane in twenty 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:47.240 ten the Stanley Cup winning goal and Kane was the 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.240 only one who knew it and swing down the ice. 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.440 So and then of course we find out post game 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.520 everybody's talking about the John Cooper press conference. You know, 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.839 there too many men on the ice, so a lot 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.000 of chaos and you know, talking to some league people 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:05.000 last night afterwards, just my understanding, the league sort of 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.880 admits there was a mistake. They're not going to publicly 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.719 say that, but really was too many men on the ice. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.920 It's one of those things. It's a judgment call. It's 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.279 a bad call. You can't challenge it, can't do anything 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.680 with it after the fact, and it's it's sort of 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.080 one of those things you kind of have to just 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:23.720 eat and live with. How often can you call this leaves? 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.600 You know? So the rule change is a few years 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.200 ago Dan I was talking about with mass and Chilly 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.200 used to be six feet like I think it was 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.520 written into the rule book, like you could be within 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.640 six feet of the bench when you were changing the 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.000 other player, and so it matters the player you're changing 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.559 with it's not just the closest guy to the bench 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.719 that you when you're coming off, the guy who's replacing 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.760 you has to be, you know, within reason and obviously 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.880 not interfering with the play and the puck not in 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.839 the area. Like there are a lot of variables that 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.280 go into this, and so you're right, too many men 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.440 on the ice could be called more often. I think 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.440 the official give you some leeway. But the player that 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.560 was actually changing, I think it was McKinnon who came 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.520 off for Kadri and the contra scores the goal and 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.920 somebody the people saying it was thirty feet away, So 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.640 I think I think they missed it. It happens fast. Uh, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.960 these guys are massive. The officials have been skating three 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.960 four miles themselves on the ice all night. It's chaotic, NonStop. 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.120 You're an overtime, pressures high and all that stuff, and 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:27.840 I think they miss it. And I think there's one 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.960 of those there's nothing you can do about it. It's 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.480 not like offside. It's not like goalie interference. It's not 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.560 like that the puck cross the line. It's just not 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:40.720 one of those things. Would you have called it, you know, 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.240 And again honestly, day we need even we were trying 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:44.800 to find the pucket the net first, so we have 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.760 bigger problems. We got bigger issues there, So I think 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.840 after looking at it. But the day I'm talking about 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.400 twenty minutes after the fact, you know, yeah, maybe I 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.400 would have called it dead. But you can't do that. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.080 That's just that's not sports. Even with all the technology 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.320 we have. I don't I don't think it's gonna call 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.320 the next time either. I just think that's one of 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:06.000 those things they just missed. How do you think this 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:12.640 series plays out. I think it's I think it's Colorado series. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.280 I think everybody thought that after Game two. I think 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.200 we were all surprised at what took place in Game 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.400 three and quite frankly, and that's and that's why if 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:24.040 you're an honest Tampa Bay Lightning fan, I don't think 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.160 it could be that. I'm saying, you're bothered by the 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:27.880 goal last night should have been two any minute of 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.720 the ice, I get that, But probably if they call 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.480 it back, Colorado score the next shift, you know what 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.480 I mean? It was outside of the first period. I 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.680 thought Tampa Bay was hanging out with dear life. Second period, 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:42.160 third period over time, they had a couple of Russias, 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.480 couple opportunities, but I think I think Colorado has been 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.080 the better team. And quite frankly, the biggest surprise in 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.720 the series is the biggest advantage before the series started 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.719 was in goal, and and Darcy Camper had the one 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.440 bad game. Jared Bednar, the coach of Colorado, elects to 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:02.600 bring camp we're back, and he was terrific last night. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.520 And so if they if there's not the massive advantaging 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.320 goal for Tampa Bay that was their biggest edge to 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.560 begin with, then it just it just screams Colorado for me. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.920 Kemper's the first goaltender in NHL history with an overtime 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.840 assist in a standing the Cup final game. Did you 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.400 know that, Leaves? I knew we had the assist on 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.240 the goal? I did not know who's the first ever 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:29.520 to do it. You're you're talking to a honey expert here, Okay, Dan, 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.880 I was talking about you. Last night. This is so odd. 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.839 I mean, it's the small world we live in, right, 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.560 And then I get the call from Fritzie this morning. 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.880 I want to jump on. I am a hotel bar 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:44.680 festivities last night, two of your favorites. So Chuck's Chuck's 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.400 in the house of course, right because he's everywhere. So Bart, 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:52.600 please you, oh my God, with me in a big way. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.400 I would say multiple nights, okay, but last night so 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.880 that was part of the Dan Patrick reunion tour. And 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:06.120 then last night Darius pops in. Darius, yeah, and I 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.600 said to him, it's been a long time again, I said, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.320 I haven't seen you since Dan got us on the 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:14.520 stage with Bourman and then and Darius, you got us 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.400 up on the stage with him and singing the song. 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.200 And then he he told about the argument. You know, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.160 he made you famous, No, you made him famous, and 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:25.319 you guys you've gone back and forth over that or something. Anyway, 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:29.120 it's a Dad Patrick kind of night. Yeah. Well, you 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.160 know Barkley loves his hockey. He knows his hockey, yes, 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.720 and he's tight with John Cooper. Oh well, he's tight 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.559 with the commissioner too, because he texted him to say, 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.960 can you give me some tickets here? And I don't 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.520 even have Gary Bettman's phone number, and Charles Barkley does. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.000 I feel that's wrong? Every time I see MESSI I 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.240 always think when the Rangers won the Cup and I 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.600 was covering that for Sports Center and I went to 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.680 a bar where they were there with the cup and 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.720 they were passing around the cup and I didn't know 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:02.880 what was in it, and Messier said, if you have 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.960 to ask, you don't get to drink. I don't know 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.920 what was in it. But I drank it, and uh, yeah, 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.480 like sure, why not, I'm not gonna dieus. Yeah, So 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.880 it's it's pretty cool for me to be sitting next 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.440 to those guys. You know, Melrose is great everything, and 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.480 then you get so good. Oh then they start telling stories. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.200 Most of them you can't tell when you're on the 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:32.280 air exactly. Hey, great to talk to you, buddy, Thank 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.800 you leave. That's Steve Levy. Uh, the game will be 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.040 Friday night on ABC. You know. Emily Kaplan is the 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.400 on ice reporter. I've seen her on around the horn, 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.640 but to see her in action. She knows her hockey. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:49.720 She's really good, looks great on camera, sounds great, and 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.120 uh great to see her get an opportunity like that. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.760 The on ice reporter, that's that's a tough job sometimes, 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.520 you know, but but there's a lot of action going 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.040 on there and the things that you hear when you're 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:06.760 down there. That's what's great. And like you're always wondering 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.400 when you're watching. And I have said this before. I 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.240 covered the Seattle SuperSonics huddle when they were facing the 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.600 Bulls in the NBA Finals. I covered the huddle for 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.400 ESPN Radio. I just wanted to be I was there 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.520 for Sports Center, but I wanted to be there in 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.199 the action. I wanted to be as close as I could. 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.360 And you're in the huddle and you're thinking, as as 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.720 somebody's watching on TV, You're going, oh, yeah, they must 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.360 be diagramming blah blah blah blah. And some of the 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.720 random comments that you hear in the huddle is really 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.360 interesting and something that doesn't have hang to do with 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.440 the game. And then I would always say, you know, 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.520 George Carr would say all right, two down, and then 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.360 they'd break and I go two down. He goes, yeah, 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.199 you know, Gary Peyton, you know he's just gonna They're 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.080 gonna go downstead of pick, He's gonna come out. And 0:12:55.280 --> 0:13:01.559 every huddle George Carl would say, two down. I'm you're 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.240 not coaching. What are you doing? It was a simple play, 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:09.280 but they kept running it over and over. Let's see 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.320 get a couple of phone calls in here, then Doug 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.280 Gottlie will join us in a studio. Get his thoughts 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.839 on the NBA draft. There's still a lot of chatter 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.640 about Kyrie irving. Where could he end up? What happens 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.480 to kde if he leaves? So he's got six days 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:30.320 and a source said this to me, Hey, Kyrie left 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.720 fifteen sixteen million dollars on the table. He didn't want 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.760 to get vaccinated, but you know he had no problem 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.840 with that. So does money matter to him? How much 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.040 does it matter to him? Because we look and go 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.600 would he walk away from thirty six thirty seven million 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.280 dollars with the nets to go to the Lakers where 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:53.160 he'd get paid six seven million dollars. Now, before you say, well, 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.320 you'd never do that, first of all, you can't say 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.520 never do that with Kyrie. Plus he would also he 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.360 according to us or has said, he might look at 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.439 walking away from thirty six million dollars with the nets, 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.360 but he's walking away from them, not committing long term. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.240 Whereas the Lakers say, we only have six million dollars, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.760 but we're going to give that to you. As strange 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:20.160 as that may sound, you can't say never with Kyrie Irvin. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.120 I don't know if Lebron wants him. And also I 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.360 was told, you know, everybody says you can't trade Russell Westbrook. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.000 You can, guys get traded. Russ has been traded a 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.920 few times. John Wall has been traded. Like those salaries, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.440 you go, you're not going to get rid of that? 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:39.080 Well you do? They somehow get rid of those contracts. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.640 John Wall is going to make forty seven million dollars. 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.520 He plays as much as I do. I had a 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:49.600 better season than he did, just shooting hoops out here 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.840 in the man Cape. Yeah. Point, john Wall just opted 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:57.040 in for yea, go figure. I've never seen this before. Yeah, 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.720 Basketball Reference has everyone who plays injury. Yeah, twenty one, 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:03.680 twenty twenty two, John Wall did not play in Brackett's 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.800 sat out. Yeah, I've never seen that before. Healthy scratch 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:08.880 for a season. That's why it was like, Yeah, of 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.480 course you're gonna opt in. Nobody else is gonna be 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.000 dumb enough to pay you forty seven million dollars. John 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.880 Wall is at two hundred and thirty million, and he's 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:23.760 got forty seven more coming next year. This is playing 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:37.280 at John Wall's house. Stop salary, salary, salal salary. I 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.400 think wherever John Wall goes he gets in his car, 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:47.480 this is playing his cell phone ring. Is this chick 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:53.680 it in? Yeah? Yeah. See when you when you're an 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.560 NBA player, do you get paid twelve months out of 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.720 the year or is it just in season that you 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.280 get like bigger check. I don't know how that works. 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.800 I think football is in season, Baseball in season. I 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.520 don't know about bounce. It's like what that would end 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.160 up being if it was over the course of the 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.240 twelve months. It's like forty four million dollars a month 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.560 or something like that. It doesn't sound as bad that 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.720 you're paying a guy who's not playing for you. Yeah, 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:17.760 it's like a teacher's salary. You can get it all 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.040 during the school year, or spread it through the summer, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.640 make it last. Yeah. I wouldn't do direct deposit. I'd 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.280 want to check in the mail. I get up in 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.000 the morning, all excited to take a shower, go to 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.400 the mailbox. John almost loved going to the mailbox. Well, 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.120 that's the only thing he does that's as active as 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:35.280 he is. What you do today deposited my check.

By 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:17.120 the way, I went outside the trigger grills and Tyler 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.720 is smoking the brisket for tomorrow. He said, it's twenty 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.840 four hours smoked brisket. Oh buddy. And I said to 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.639 Doug Gottlieb or good buddy, wrong day to come in. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.080 You miss out on the brisket and meet Friday. I 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:34.280 would stay, but me and Seton had a discussion. I 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:38.280 have a daughter who she's a talented bassist, bass guitarist okay, 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.600 and so I surprised her with tickets to see Primus 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.520 tomorrow in Long Beach, California. Let's clay Pool famous. If 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:50.200 you know bass or too many puppies anyway, So I 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.760 would love to stay from meeting Friday. And I am 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:57.360 kicking myself, but if you need anybody to test, I could. 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.440 I don't think it's going to be running. I just 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.280 don't think. You know, it's twenty four hours. I know, 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.480 I know, I know. I saw you got a notebook here, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.520 You've got notes here. Well, I just I don't want 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.440 to screw it up. I mean, the big thing in 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.639 the new Man Cave I've never been. This is incredible. Okay, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:17.440 is this how would you label this draft? This is 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:19.879 good at draft as we've had since I've been doing it, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.680 and I've been doing it since two thousand and two, 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.679 two thousand and three. Yeah, I think thousand and three 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:29.000 is my first draft I did for the Mothership. Okay, 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.119 but what makes this such a great draft. You have 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.920 the potential of stars at the top. Then you have 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:36.359 a good group of players in which I think there'll 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.240 be a couple emerged as stars. And then you have 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.480 a great depth of players. But you also have I 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.879 even think within that first round, you know there's like 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:50.439 a Jeremy Sohan's a kid out a Baylor who fits 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.600 not necessarily what a superstar would look like. But a 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.600 and I don't want to call him Draymond Green because 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:59.080 he's probably gonna be more talented offensively. But those super 0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:03.720 talented role polish star players Jalen Williams from Arkansas like 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:06.240 guys that you're going to see in the playoffs for 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.800 the next, you know, somewhere in the next ten years. 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.440 I think you have just about everything yet young players 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:15.280 are going to develop. You have some older players, a 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:17.320 couple of foreign players, but that's not really the thrust 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:19.600 of this draft. I just think it's the depth of 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.720 overall talent. And then you get down the second round 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.320 and you have some classic guys who you think, if 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.000 they lose some weight, if they fit an NBA scheme, 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.919 if they buy in, they improve their shooting, they're going 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.320 to be those I just this is a really, really 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:35.040 good draft. I mean, there's I don't know, did you 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:36.840 see Notre Dame play. They have a kid, Blake Wesley. 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:42.200 He's awesome, downhill combo guard like he's gonna go maybe 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.399 late first maybe second round. That's a steal. Compare that 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.520 to other drafts we've had where guys are just rushing 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:50.560 in the process and we don't know we have. I 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.240 think this is a really really deep, solid draft with 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.160 star potential at the top. We'll talk about that potential 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.960 here in a moment. Let me give the official introduction 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.040 hosted The Gottleib Show on Fox Sports Radio, Basketball analysts, 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.119 Westwood One Studio analyst. You know when we start to 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.840 look at talent and drafting talent, you know where you 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.480 have leagues that are copycat leagues, Like when the Greatest 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:14.480 Show on Turf the Rams, everybody's like, we're going to 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:16.360 be like the Rams. We have to have the personnel 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.480 to be like the Rams. Golden State, Well, Golden State 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.320 drafted most of these players. And can you see teams 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.680 that are going to maybe move away from let's try 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:30.680 to get two or three superstars or can you build 0:21:30.800 --> 0:21:32.399
