00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: a news event item on Friday night when I was

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Bowl had the Grease sing along right where you go

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040

00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,520

49
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,799

51
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: they wore the big silver you know stuff. They had

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: light up stuff in their hair and they walked around

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: when Beauty Schoolspout came on singing it was awesome, right,

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,280

00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: I can't believe it was a big news story this week.

192
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like, that's like the number one entertainment news.

197
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: and were hanging out with Sidney? It was Tom Brady,

198
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: it was Orlando Bloom like like she was like the

199
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: bell of the ball at the at the Bezo Sanchez. Well,

200
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,800

202

206
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: to get some of the soap that by the way.

207
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Uh now, so speaking of the Knicks, Okay, this is

208
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: where I say, I could have saved thee in Bath.

209
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: I could have said, because we're TJ the Knicks are

210
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: cleaning house to bring in a new head coach. Uh.

211
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: Big news today the Knicks are bringing back Mike Brown

212
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: for a second interview. He is the first candidate they're

213
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: bringing back for a second interview. And as we talk

214
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: to NBA inside of Mark Medina on Friday night, he

215
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: said to us, Hey, everything I am hearing, Mike Brown

216
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: is your leader, is your runaway leader to be the

217
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: knicks next head coach. Right, and then there's I mean

218
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe to throw people off the set. This weekend, there

219
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: was hey, maybe we get Jason Smith or Dawn Staley,

220
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: Hey let's go. But the night the Knicks fired Tips,

221
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: I keep going back, It's like, why, James Dolan, why

222
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: didn't you just hire me to help you do this search? Right?

223
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: Everybody you see teams they hire all these different to

224
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: hire the thirty third team, and different institutions say hey,

225
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: you know we're gonna help us find our next candidate. Yeah,

226
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: I could do that. I would have said, give me

227
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: fifty grand and I'll get you the guy. Right Cause

228
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: the first night I said, Mike Brown, he's the guy

229
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: he fits. He checks all the boxes you want, the

230
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: anti Tom Thibadau, which is why you're not talking to

231
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: Michael Malone. Right, that's the reason why you're not talking

232
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: about because you're bringing in the same guy. Right. Mike

233
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: Brown is more of a player's coach. You have to

234
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: go from disciplinary in the players coach because eventually you

235
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: guys are gonna tune you out. And they tuned out TIBs.

236
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: They didn't play defense. He couldn't get them to play defense.

237
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: Mike Brown different voice, excellent defensive system, his offensive system

238
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: works with the with the personnel the Knicks have. And

239
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: he is coaching big, big markets. He's coach big stars,

240
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: he's coaching big situations, coaching big cities. Like he's the

241
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 1: guy you want. Like, okay, Mike Brown is your guy.

242
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: Don't be stupid. They're oh, we're gonna call the Mavericks

243
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: for Jason. We're calling. They're all gonna say no, but no, no,

244
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks were bent on Hey, we want to show

245
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: you that we're not comfortable being a destination. We're gonna

246
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: show you that we're gonna be really embarrassing too. So

247
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna go, oh for seven with teams we contact

248
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: to talk to their head coaches. Oh, now they get

249
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: to Mike Brown. I could have had them at Mike

250
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Brown Night, one night one, Mike Brown, he's your guy.

251
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Fifty grand because I did three minutes worth of work

252
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: on this, because I tell you, because I know Mike

253
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: Brown's career. I know, look at what this is your guy, right.

254
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: I would have said, okay, I'll work an hour on

255
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: it to make it seem like okay, fifty grand for

256
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: an hour, but fifty grand, hey me three minutes. I

257
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 1: had Mike Brown for you already. This is why the

258
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: Knick should hire me. I could have had this guy

259
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: to you easily. And this looks like where the Knicks

260
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: are gonna go now. Now go back to June seventeenth

261
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: from DraftKings. He we became the betting favorite. Now. I

262
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: still don't think the calling other teams for their head

263
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: coaches in books necessarily as laughable. Now, it depends how

264
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: deep you got into that. I think the Bucks actually

265
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: reached out, might have reached out saying what about us, Hey, hey,

266
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna get to it, and they're like, yeah, yeah,

267
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: we'll let you know. We'll call you back but just

268
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: the idea of if those are the best into your

269
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: mind of what's gonna fit with Brunson Cat and whatever

270
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: you're working going forward. Make the call. Well, it's like anything, right,

271
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to date the girl you see, you know,

272
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: catch your eye at the end of the bar. What's

273
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: the worst? She could say, beat it, creep or no,

274
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: depending on how deep she wants to go on it,

275
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: and you move on. All right, next it's a numbers game. Somewhat.

276
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: Eventually he's gonna sit down and have a drink with

277
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: you and visited creepy all right, sorry, and listen to

278
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: your life story for five to ten minutes before they

279
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: get up and walk away. But all of that to say,

280
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: eventually you get down to brass tacks of all right,

281
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: here are the guys. We've done our due diligence. We've

282
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: talked to people because I don't believe you know, you're

283
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: not operating in a vacuum wishing, wanting, hoping that you're

284
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: making one call and that's the end of it. That

285
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: was the List's what's the plan? B No, you've got

286
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: an order of operations that you're going through, like solving

287
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: a math equation and eventually you started getting here. You

288
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: had Mike Brown, I had Taylor Jenkins, Tada. They were

289
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: the betting favorites right now. Mike Brown, as of that

290
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 1: June seventeenth date, Mike Brown was about a forty five

291
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: percent likelihood according to the implied odds. Okay, so that's strengthened,

292
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: but it's been there in plain view for a while.

293
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: Michael Malone Mike Malone fourth or fifth on the list.

294
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: But again, it makes doesn't make a whole lot of

295
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: sense since you just fired Thibodeaux, and if you're going

296
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: to pay him thirty million dollars to go away, why

297
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: would you hire another guy for another thirty million dollars

298
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: who's essentially the same guy. It's a spider man met

299
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: We're pointing at each other, y'all gonna do it? Are

300
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: you double down on that? Right? So yeah, Mike, Mike

301
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: Brown is the guy that has been the expectation based

302
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: on the betting market and inside information for a couple

303
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: of weeks. So bring him back in, make sure you

304
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: know you can finalize those those final points. But it

305
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: is curious because the only free agent we've been talking

306
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: about with them thus far is is Jordan Clarkson sixteen

307
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: a game score. He was in Utah. I don't know

308
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: anybody's happy playing in Utah, so whenever anybody goes yeah,

309
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: he'd really kind of run out of favor and wasn't

310
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: excited about it. Nobody's excited about Utah. Gailey story for

311
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: Bryan out loud. He had even shown up there, and

312
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: he's mad. So all of that to say, here we are,

313
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: Mike Brown. You're a guy. You're not getting your fifty

314
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: thousand no matter how much you press. I know, but

315
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: I could have done that, so and I would have

316
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: stopped the Knicks from being laughing stocks. I would have

317
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: done that. Your your hourly rate, though, would have been phenomenal.

318
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it would have been great. Yeah, how

319
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: about you make in fifte an hour? Yeah? Why would you? Well,

320
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean I prorited at fifty fifty fifty thousand for

321
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: my ten minutes to work, and I really I really

322
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: only worked three minutes of that hour too. So it's

323
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: it coming up an million dollar guy. Two teams extremely

344
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Free Agency. I think fantastic. I think, uh well, hang on,

345
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't care standing up on my heart. You know,

346
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: no need to be a jerk about it. It's just

347
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, Moss. We were sold to Bill of Goods

348
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: by Sean who said, oh my goodness, what an unbelievable nightwork.

349
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: And we did have big moves today. We didn't want,

350
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: but we didn't have unbelievably large moves. I know, you

351
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: wit and see what happens day one. H Okay, yes,

352
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior is a is a big other stars,

353
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: other teams have made big moves, right, But it's this

354
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: is a free agency where most people care about what

355
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: their team did, and there's no big story that cuts

356
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: across coast to coast. It tells, Okay, it's not KD.

357
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Well what happened to KD? I mean, I mean really,

358
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we're you you would think that. And and

359
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: and Sean's been on this for the last few days.

360
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: But oh hey, he told Scott van Pelt, don't go

361
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: to sleep, don't go all all the different Uh, you

362
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: can tease around it. And and it's been a day where, hey,

363
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: it's been good moves, it's been good when teams have

364
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: made big things. We're gonna give you two big Bowl

365
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: predictions for teams in a second, but overall it's like, Okay,

366
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: it's not quite the day that we expected it to be. Well.

367
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: He also knew that Van Pelt was going on vacation

368
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,360
Speaker 1: for two months. So he's like, hey, you can't leave yet,

369
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: can't leave You might have to miss that flight, buddy.

370
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: Uh but no, it's Look, you're you're selling the NBA.

371
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: That's your stock in trade. That's why the Four Letter

372
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: paid you a lot of money to come over there

373
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: and be your guy. And and while you were a

374
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: great teammate to the world not tipping picks during the draft,

375
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: now's your time to shine, right did you? And free

376
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,479
Speaker 1: agent to be Wemby, I mean, Mindy Wemby's the other

377
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: look at you now? So far to get no other

378
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: competition in the space. Look, the Nuggets traded Michael Porter

379
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: Junior to the Nets for Cam Johnson. Right Brook Lopez

380
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: signed a two year, eighteen million dollar deal with the Clippers.

381
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: The Rockets get Dorian Finney Smith as he leaves the

382
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: Lakers going, and Nago signed Jake Lamona. It was a

383
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: big move for them. Uh, look, good shooter. The Hawks

384
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: have made a couple of nice moves, right, and the

385
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: Knicks are gonna get Jordan Clarkson. But I'll tell you

386
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: a couple of teams that over the course the last

387
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: couple of days. In the first day of free agency.

388
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 1: Each of these teams will be a top three team

389
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: in their conference this year. Okay, they have made the moves.

390
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: They have made the under the radar moves, they have

391
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: made the solid moves. They will be top three teams.

392
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: First I'm gonna tell you about, and I've been talking

393
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: about them for a little bit. Is the Orlando Magic. Okay,

394
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the Magic in an Eastern Conference which now two of

395
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: the top four teams are looking for what's next? Right,

396
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: The Celtics are completely dismantling their championship team from a

397
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: year ago. No Jason Tatum for most, if not all,

398
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: of the year, So okay, they're in a status quote

399
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: type situation. Same thing with the Pacers, right hey, coming

400
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: off the NBA Finals, one game away from winning it all,

401
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: but no Tyres Halliburton likely for all of the season,

402
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: so they're going to be kind of stuck a little bit.

403
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: The Magic have done the and gone by the Rockets Thunder.

404
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to say strategy, but because it's it's

405
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: it's too much to say. But what they've been able

406
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: to do is get those high picks in the draft,

407
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: let them develop outside of the spotlight, and now suddenly Okay,

408
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: we're going to jump on the scene after making the

409
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: right couple of moves, and then Magic clearly have done.

410
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: So look, Ben Caro is terrific. You see the young

411
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: talent they have. They bring in Desmond Bain, who's going

412
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: to be a big guy for attitude. He's going to

413
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: hit some threes and eat some outside shooting. The Magic

414
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: going to be a top three team in the Eastern

415
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: Conference next year. The Knicks are going to be the

416
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: favorites going into the season because of hey, they made

417
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: it that far and they're not hurt like everybody else's

418
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: and or really believe it in the Cavaliers after the

419
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: regular season they had and going out as early as

420
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: they did in the playoffs. So yeah, I firmly expect

421
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: that that right now. If I'm saying the top three

422
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: teams in the East next year, probably Knicks, Cavaliers, and Magic,

423
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: those will be your top three teams record wise. The

424
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: Magic are coming, man. They've been able to do it

425
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: outside of the outside of their off the radar screen

426
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, hey wait a minute, man,

427
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City's pretty good. Hey, wait a minute, Houston's pretty good. Oh,

428
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: hey wait a minute, Hey Orlando was really good and

429
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: with a young with the young talent they have there,

430
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: forget it, man, They're going to be a top three

431
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: team in the East now. They won the War of Attrition.

432
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: So you look at current betting odds for the NBA

433
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: Finals courtesy of fan Duel, the Knicks favorites in the

434
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: East at plus eight fifty second are the Cavaliers at

435
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: ten to one, third, your Orlando Magic at twelve to one,

436
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: and then there's a considerable gap to the upstart Atlanta

437
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: Hawks banking on Christaps Porzingis. That's where I would put

438
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: to take a little bit of a price shot for

439
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: them to replace one of those other three. I'm not

440
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna kill off your Knicks. They'll eventually find a coach

441
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: to make it work. Could be me, could be me.

442
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: I'm merged my own I mean, they look until they

443
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: put someone up at a podium to say, hey, I've

444
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: signed a contract, and we see it. Look he signed

445
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: it in his own blood. Nine. I'll take the Hawks

446
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: off the pace at thirty one. I'll tell you they

447
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: they made a lot of moves today. They're building around

448
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: Trey Young's It's an interesting amalgam that they've got there. Yeah,

449
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: it's completely different from what I thought it was gonna be,

450
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: which was, Okay, they have to move on from Trey

451
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: Young because clearly they've seen the best of them and

452
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: they're just treading water. Now they've decided, oh, let's build

453
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: around Trey Young instead. Let's do that. That might work.

454
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: But I mean Nikila Alexander Walker was a guy that

455
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 1: was rumored with a number of teams. It was all

456
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: just a matter of whether price, the price of poker

457
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: was going to be too great for them to get

458
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: into the sweepstakes. Three point shooter, good defender, all of

459
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: those things. They added Luke Canard and you already had

460
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: the trade to bring in poor zingis so again with

461
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: the East because we don't know what Boston's even gonna

462
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: look like. How many of those guys are still there?

463
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Bird McHale Parish Ceasting, Ceasting, that's nice. Yeah, I've been

464
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: I in a nineteen eighty six fleeer Jerry seven. Well,

465
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: I've been building the set bit by bit. When I can,

466
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, shake out a couple of nickels to buy

467
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: that Ceasting rookie and flip it. No no, no, no, no,

468
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: it's it's this is completely a set building because I

469
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: loved that eighty six Fleer set Barkley and Malone and

470
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: Jordan and all that fun stuff. But they had a

471
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: ceased that someone has given them as part of a lot,

472
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, on principle, I almost have to buy it. Now.

473
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: So the Western Conference, his name Jerry Seest. How about

474
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: that Western confer This is a little bit bigger. This

475
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: is a little bit bolder. But the Mavericks will finish

476
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: as a top three team in the West. Okay, now

477
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: we'll talk about a big phrase I like to say

478
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: tonight called strategic injuries. But they go out today and

479
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: get D'Angelo Russell, right, and that's a great move because

480
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: they need somebody to be the playmaker while Kyrie Irving

481
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: recovers and he's a different guy. Right, he's matured. We've

482
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: watched this the last couple of stops. Then he's a

483
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: solid fifteen and eight guy. Right, we've seen it. That's

484
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: exactly what they want. Two year deal from not spending

485
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: a lot of money because clearly he can then go

486
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: to a reserve role when Kyrie Irving comes back, and

487
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: then next year could be in a reserve role as well. Yeah,

488
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: two for thirteen is nothing. They're pretty deep, okay, and

489
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: we'll get to the injury part of a second, but

490
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: they're pretty deep. They're deep at center, you know, and

491
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: healthy ad Cooper Flag is gonna come in. They'll probably

492
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: cut his minutes a little bit so he's not playing

493
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: crazy amounts of time. But there's a reason this guy

494
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 1: has been the number one pick and what we've talked

495
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: about him as a generational talent for a while. They're

496
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: gonna be good enough in this Western Conference and it's

497
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: gonna be the middle finger Nico Harrison tour of Oh

498
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: you thought we were so wrong trading Luca. Look at us.

499
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: We're winning all these games. We're winning all these games.

500
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: The Mavericks are really talented, and they're deep, and they're

501
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: not spending a lot of money. They'd have to spend

502
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: money on Luca obviously with trading him, so now they're

503
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: gonna wind up having money at some point two to

504
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: really augment this team. But yes, they fell into it

505
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: with Cooper Flag, but making this move here was a

506
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: really solid move and it's not a lot of money.

507
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: The Mavericks are going to be really good and they'll

508
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: play with that chip on their shoulder. The fans will

509
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: be back. It'll be a different thing because now you know, look,

510
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: talking to Mark Stein, NBA insider who lives in Dallas, said, look,

511
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: the actual drafting of Cooper Flag and seeing him in Dallas,

512
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna do go a long way to repairing the

513
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: damage that was done after the Luka Doncic's trade. Right,

514
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: here's our new superstar coming in. Here's who we are,

515
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 1: and this is what's going to work. But the big thing,

516
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: and you know, the first thing I know you're gonna say,

517
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: is Anthony Davis staying healthy. This is now the thing

518
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: now in the NBA. Okay, it's not about avoiding injuries.

519
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: It's having strategic injuries because people are gonna get hurt. Right,

520
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: this is just the way it is. The NBA is

521
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: the point where the players have become too big. It's

522
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: still ninety four feet and you see players playing too

523
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: much basketball and they get hurt. And every playoff is

524
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: a war of attrition and it's who stays healthy till

525
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: the end. And guys are having debilitating injuries in the

526
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: middle of the playoffs because they've played too much. Whether

527
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: it's Jason Tatum or Tyre's Halliburton or Damian Lillard, whoever

528
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: it is. It's too much basketball. But it's not going

529
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: anywhere because Adam Silver is not gonna do anything that's

530
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: going to cost the league money. So it's not no law.

531
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: It's no longer about hey, if you can avoid injury,

532
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: it's okay, We're gonna have an injury, but let's have

533
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: it in a great play Hopefully we have it a

534
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: great place strategically where it's not gonna kill us. Where

535
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: if Anthony Davis is gonna miss some time, you're hoping

536
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: that injury hits some time in the middle of January

537
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: so we can come back sometime at the end of

538
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: February and play the rest of the way. Lebron is

539
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: gonna be hurt every year. Now you're hoping that it's

540
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: two weeks at a time from hey, he's missing two

541
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: weeks in January, missing two weeks beginning of March, and

542
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: then these guys can be healthy enough for the playoffs.

543
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's not about avoiding it, forget it.

544
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: Guys are just gonna get hurt. That's just the game. Now,

545
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: it's strategically missing. So for the Mavericks, for instance, Okay,

546
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: here's Kyrie Irving, who's gonna miss a lot of time

547
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: this year. But when he does come back with the

548
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: Mavericks having enough talent to stay afloat all of a sudden,

549
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: he comes back second half of the season in whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

550
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: Maybe now he's only have to worry about playing twenty

551
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: some odd games and then the playoffs. He's gonna be

552
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: fresh at the end of the year. Because any team

553
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: that tries to build around a thirty five year old guy,

554
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work. It's just gonna get to the

555
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: point the playoffs where we're tired, we don't have the

556
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: same legs, defense is a little bit more intense, and

557
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: we're not going to win. So, yes, it's the strategic

558
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: injuries that you have to navigate in the NBA, but

559
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: you navigate that. It's part of it for everybody. Yeah,

560
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: no reason why Maverick's top three team in the West.

561
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: I like that They currently eighth and betting odds thirty

562
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: four to one. So if you want to go get

563
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: your long shot play rolling in, they are currently behind. Okay,

564
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: see Denver, Houston, the Clippers, the Lakers, the Timberwolves, the

565
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: Warriors before we get to Dallas at eight. Now, I

566
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: like your strategic injury because remember when we were having

567
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: all the lamentation and handwringing when Halliburton got hurt and

568
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, look at this rash of injuries and

569
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: here's what we need to do, and all the breakneck

570
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: response of we need to shorten the season, we need

571
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: to get rid of all these playoff games. This goes

572
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: back to Anthony Davis at what a wizard he was

573
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: years ago. Remember when everybody made fun of him when

574
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: he said he hadn't touched a basketball. That's now the rule. Yeah,

575
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: stop complaining, think about game six and seven. You know what,

576
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: Stop playing pick up basketball eight hours a day when

577
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: you're in your offseason. Sit on your ass and go

578
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: watch some bad TV, go watch Love Island and debate

579
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: it and whatever else, and and stop playing basketball there

580
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: because how many hours and miles are on the legs there.

581
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: And nobody wants to admit, you know, I just talk

582
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: about oh you know, that's that is what they do, Okay,

583
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: but that adds up. It's like all these other guys

584
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: that play extra second seasons because that's what it is.

585
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: After a decade of that, it's a lot of many

586
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: weary miles on those legs. Durant Lebron, et cetera, et cetera.

587
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: He's a cyborg. But that's a whole other thing. But

588
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: for for your mavericks, I like the cut of your jim,

589
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: I like your theoretical there I'd say Houston, but they

590
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: were already the number two seeds, so they don't. They

591
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: just need to run back and now you know where

592
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: he's The answer? Is he really? Though? Is really? But

593
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: to your point, I'm not going to run him out

594
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: thirty five minutes a game. I need him in April

595
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: and may right. I need a guy that will take

596
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: a shot. That's why getting rid of Jalen Green's like

597
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: he disappeared quite frequently. It's got to like that hard guy.

598
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: But also when he was with Houston. So you know,

599
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: for Kevin Duran, if he's healthy and available to play,

600
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: he's got no no problem putting up a shot. Now,

601
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: those clown shoes might come in to play again, because

602
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: Gianna still needs to send to thank you to him,

603
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: because if that shoe is a little bit smaller a

604
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, Giannis doesn't have that hardware in

605
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: front of his locker to be talking about underachieving. I

606
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,680

762
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: because now suddenly a year, later, hey they're not quite as.

792
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: Man maybe too broad a, brush but the thing was

793
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: that you thought, offensively you were building for speed and

794
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: that that was gonna be the hallmark of this. Squad,

795
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,440

803
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,040
