30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna work off four hours a night, every night.

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: They'll let me.

32
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to do weekends too, Jeez.

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: Can't say that. I already don't.

34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: That's true, that's true.

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: I'd love to work more hours more arguing more me

36
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: is always a good thing. As I say here on

37
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: the airwaves, maybe some would disagree.

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: You're gonna do shows, You're gonna do updates, You're gonna produce,

39
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 4: you're gonna be the technical director, You're gonna do it all.

40
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go out on a lemons say that you've

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: gone a bridge too far. But I do like the

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: cut of your jib. I'm not afraid of a day's

43
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: hard work. Might mean I start trading more baseball cards.

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's your thing too, that's your I.

45
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: Got an ideal, you know. It's one of those things

46
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: I've been doing since I was a kid, and have

47
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: a little bit of acumen and knowledge to it all,

48
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: so it's it's fun.

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: How come you don't have any like the real expensive

50
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: cards that people get like a million dollars.

51
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: For because one, I work in radio, so I don't

52
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: have that giant bank roll.

53
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: No, but how come you don't open up?

54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

55
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 4: Look at this one. This one's Michael Jordan's rookie card.

56
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: I who would have thought I'd get that way.

57
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: I did have a Jordan rookie card at one point,

58
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: but it was a grade that was a lower grade.

59
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: So no, no, no, there's a lot of them. Oh,

60
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: that's it's one of the things. Right. There was an

61
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: autographed high grade rookie card from eighty six eighty seven

62
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: that sold for roughly two hundred or two point five

63
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: million dollars buyers premium twenty five percent buyer. Wow, that

64
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: seemed a bit severe, but that's part of a I

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: don't know how much of that is a promotion versus

66
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: a real price. That have been a couple of those

67
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: that have gone for overshoot millions. Not a card that

68
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 3: he signs with any frequency, And it appears to be

69
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: also a vintage signature, which is also the key, right

70
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: because if you get him to sign it in the

71
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: in the wild say it an F one or whatever. Well,

72
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: I mean he does.

73
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: Do you need like the perfect signature too.

74
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: Well, but the signature changes over time is the point

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: of trying to make so the signature being dated back

76
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 3: when he's a rookie or second year player, his signature

77
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: is much different. You look at Lebron James, you look

78
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: at a number of players where over time you see

79
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: what once upon a time was virtually every letter of

80
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: their name becomes initial, becomes us a you know, non

81
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: discernible scribble. Right, We've been talking a lot about Cooper

82
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: Flag his signature. It's got a little bit of style

83
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: to it, but also looks childlike in some ways.

84
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: Really in a way like just scribbling or what No, I.

85
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: Mean you get the CE and like it's got a

86
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: little flair with the way this C in the F intersect,

87
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: but it's it's not clean.

88
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: It's style.

89
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: But well, no, eventually it'll it'll be just to see

90
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: in and F without any extra scribbles. But I mean,

91
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: think about signing your name. If you're Jannison, Tanna Coopo.

92
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: By the time you're year ten in the league, you're

93
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: signing that fold name G.

94
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 5: G.

95
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: Kind of an a maybe you get a little bit

96
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 3: of the accents and.

97
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: Is that what is that? The next thing?

98
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 3: Though?

99
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 4: Anything Cooper Flag has got to be worth millions right

100
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 4: every te.

101
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: Well, no, I mean it certainly has its uh its market.

102
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: And he's had a couple of products that have been

103
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: out there for a while. Uh it's a strange convergence.

104
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: And this is going a little bit inside baseball and

105
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: that Panini is going to lose the license to Fanatics.

106
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 3: So you've got some Cooper Flag cards that will be

107
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: part of the last run of Panini stuff as Tops

108
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: gets the licensing, which.

109
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: Is not going to be more valuable.

110
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: So well and that and that's where they'll decide, right

111
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: because you've got the historic brands and things like Pannini

112
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 3: Prism versus Tops Chrome versus you know, some of the

113
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 3: other parallel and upscale lines to decide, you know, with

114
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: your dollars, which you like most. Now he's had a

115
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: couple of Tops products that were pretty cool. The Tops

116
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: all American, so many different He's not as simple as

117
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: it was when we were younger, where you had Tops

118
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: doners fleeting upper deck.

119
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: Cooper Flagg should go Billy Ripket and have like an obscene,

120
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: you know message on now.

121
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: They did a tribute to that last year in Tops

122
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: Baseball with the Jackson Holiday. So there are Jackson hot.

123
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 3: Well it doesn't actually have the blank face car. I

124
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 3: actually have one of those in my collection.

125
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's great.

126
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 3: We made a lot of money in those back in

127
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: the day. But now I have one for the personal collection.

128
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: But another guy who has been hot in the collectible's

129
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: market leading up to the draft, Ace Bailey. Yes, we're talking,

130
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: and you took your shots at Rutgers and and Jason

131
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: did the same underachieving. And I say, if I'm the coach,

132
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 3: I got two guys to the top five, I win,

133
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: come play from my school, and now you get to

134
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: fight again and hopefully better, because again, how did.

135
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: You get get fired? Having two guys at the top five.

136
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: Then Shire should get fired too.

137
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 4: Well, they did win.

138
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: The whole team got drafted. Yeah, so but going through

139
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: with as badly. Now we get into a lot of

140
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: the psychology of the draft process. Advisors, family friends, hangers

141
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: on agents, whether you're certified by the league you're not,

142
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: and the people that are hanging around you helping in

143
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: your decision making process, whether to talk to teams whether

144
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: or not to. We talked to Rick Buker the other night.

145
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: There was some speculation that he wasn't comfortable with the

146
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: interview process. So that is part of it, and how

147
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: much of that that all comes out the wash, right?

148
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 3: You know, team by team we're gonna get different stories

149
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: and things you're going to leak out. But where we

150
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: sit right now as of this moment, he's not yet

151
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 3: reported to the Utah Jazz. The latest reports are that

152
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: he will show up on Saturday to try to put

153
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: some of these questions to bed. A team representative told

154
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: ESPN earlier quote, We've had good communication with Ace Bailey

155
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: and his reps. We feel good about everything. Ace and

156
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: his family are coming to Utah tomorrow. We saw Dwayne Wade,

157
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: who's a part owner, on Draft night. He applauded the move,

158
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: and obviously we know the front office and their history

159
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: that I think the belief was once he gets in

160
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: sees what they're all about, that it will quell any

161
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: of these fears.

162
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 4: Just a couple of things on that. First of all,

163
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: I thought when he was turning down interviews that that

164
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 4: was the biggest mistake ever in that you at least

165
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: could do the interviews if you're not going to work

166
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: out for the team. But then again, you look at

167
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 4: your door Sanders, and look how many teams said that

168
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: he did a bad interview and that they didn't want

169
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: to draft. And now, I know quarterback is different than

170
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: a position in basketball, and you know the quarterback is

171
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: the position. But you got to wonder, you know, when

172
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 4: it was all said and done, you know, maybe he

173
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: did the right thing by not interviewing. Maybe, like Rick

174
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: Buker said, he just didn't feel comfortable going through the

175
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: interview process and he didn't want it to turn out

176
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: like Shador Sanders, I think it was a mistake. I

177
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: would have interviewed. If you're not going to work out

178
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 4: for anybody, the least you can do is go meet them,

179
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: talk to them and say, you know, here, I'll give

180
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: you one hour. Let's have lunch and you know, you

181
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 4: could pick my brain. But other than that, you know,

182
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: he made so when he first got drafted by Utah,

183
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 4: it seemed like he was excited. Mike. He was like

184
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: really puffed. You can see the emotion. And I didn't

185
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: think there was any problem whatsoever.

186
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: Is always the where's the truth lie?

187
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 4: Of all?

188
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: Right, maybe you're not happy with where you're going, but

189
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 3: you're also relieved that you're not still sitting on the board.

190
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: Was because we had guy a little bit later who

191
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: dropped the F bomb.

192
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

193
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: Then we had another player who got drafted, and then

194
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 3: in following up he was renamed Colin Coward.

195
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.

196
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: So we had a little bit of fun with that.

197
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 3: But his agent, Omar Cooper said, he's right, well, and

198
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: that's a whole other part of this process. Right said

199
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 3: that the every team watched him work out in Chicago,

200
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: he did eighteen interviews, everybody got his medical et cetera,

201
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: et cetera, so going, you know, and tried to defend saying, hey,

202
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: there's nothing uncommon about how He's Bailey's pre draft process

203
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: was handled. And I think it begets a larger conversation

204
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: when we go to Shador Sanders and something Ian and

205
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: I have talked about here on the airwaves. You and

206
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: I may have broached it in past, come here as well, Arnie.

207
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: Certainly something Jason and I did when it happened, and

208
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: then once it got dredged up again, and that's Caleb

209
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: Williams's situation in Chicago. Right of whether he wanted to

210
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: go to play with the Bears, wanted to test the

211
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: draft process. Maybe his dad had grand visions of sitting out. Now,

212
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: what's real, what's imagined? What's hyperbole? What makes for a

213
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: great story? When someone comes sniffing around writing a book,

214
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, like you know, somewhere in there the

215
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: true life, unless it's all on tape. And even then,

216
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: you know the guy's not tapped into a polygraph as

217
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: he's recounting the tails and details of everything.

218
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 4: But do you ever think we'll ever get to the

219
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: point where we'll get rid of a draft?

220
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: Well, but that's the question I'm asking, right because I

221
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: long ago, back when I was first starting to do

222
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: columns at Yahoo and a lot of fantasy stuff. But

223
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: you know, they gave me some column inches on my

224
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 3: page to just write about what I wanted. So once

225
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: a week I'd have just the long rant on something.

226
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: And one of it was one of the first was

227
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: about the Maurice Claret Mike Williams situation where they're getting

228
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: some dubious rulings and then eventually got screwed because they said, well, no, no, no,

229
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: you hired people to work with you, and now you

230
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: can't go back to college. Well, for Mink Williams, it

231
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: didn't matter. He still got drafted by Detroit Top ten,

232
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: eventually became a tight end before finding his way out

233
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: of the league, but he still got top ten money.

234
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 3: Maurice Clarett never saw that payday.

235
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 4: No, he never did. I thought he was wrong, to

236
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: be honest.

237
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: Well, but it's and I talked to folks, and how

238
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 3: much is true? And again revisionist history, that there were

239
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: a couple of teams that were interested while he was

240
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: recovering from his leg injury. Of while we get him

241
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: in with our strength people, he's in the meeting rooms whatever,

242
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: eventually he's ready to go. And this is where you

243
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: get into college football. In the fight about whether you

244
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: should have to stay three years, particularly now that guys

245
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: are getting paid, we've entered a whole other space. But

246
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: also just the idea of the right in a free

247
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 3: market economy of I can go here, I can go there.

248
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 3: That that you should have to wait for free agency

249
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: regardless of league. Right, go baseball, and how many years

250
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 3: that a team has your rights the NBA before you're

251
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: restricted free agent, before you get towards unrestricted free agency,

252
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 3: the NFL and franchise tags and other things that nature

253
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: from the Fox Sports studios.

254
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: In years to the lower clubs, the lower ranked teams,

255
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: the smaller markets. I mean, they would be horrible every year.

256
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: Why if we did something like that.

257
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: Well, but but here's the thing. You're still going to

258
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: be even if you got rid of the draft, right,

259
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: You're still going to be subject to team salary, cap

260
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: rules or second apron whatever else. Right. And if I'm

261
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: a guy that I know can play, am I going

262
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: to be okay? And is the Union gonna be okay?

263
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: Because the Union is also going to put some pressure here?

264
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: But am I gonna be okay? Be in the seventh

265
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 3: guy on a team making half the money I would

266
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 3: make another team? So the money is gonna gonna sort

267
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: that out. So saying, hey, this guy would only want

268
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: to go here, here or here, No, he wouldn't. Like

269
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: if you're Cooper Flag and you've got carte blanche, are

270
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: you necessarily going to place? Hey, we can only give

271
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: you this and again rookie salary. But he is in

272
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 3: a different bucket. I get it. For the purposes of

273
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 3: this conversation, let's put it all together of what you

274
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: can do and as a team, what's prudent, what's not?

275
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 4: Well, if Cooper Flag had a choice, he would have

276
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 4: been a Boston Celtic. There was no doubt about it.

277
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: He's from he's from Maine. That was his team Mad

278
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 4: a matter of fact, I actually met with the Boston Celtics,

279
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 4: so I'm wonder to what what that was all about.

280
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: So if he can go anywhere, that's where he would go.

281
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: But if you're you know, getting rid of the draft,

282
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: my goodness, how many people want to go play for

283
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns. You know how many people want to

284
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: go play for these garbage teams. But then again, there's

285
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: only so many spots for quarterbacks. Eventually you have to

286
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 4: trickle on down and find the team, but you just

287
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 4: won't be the upper tier quarterback, and that would kill

288
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: the small market teams or or teams that nobody wants

289
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 4: to go to.

290
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 3: Well, eventually you're gonna have I mean, you got thirty

291
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: two starting jobs right right, So you might be thirty

292
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: two out of thirty two and maybe you catch lightning

293
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: in a bottle.

294
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: I don't want to have to maybe catch lightning on

295
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: the bottle.

296
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the way the draft works.

297
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: Anyway, right, Kevin, you know, give me quarterback one or

298
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: at least if I'm bad, I get to pick the

299
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: best quarterback who I think is the best quarterback. I

300
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: don't get the choice if I'm.

301
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just playing Devil's advocate to it all that.

302
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the sudden rush that everybody is

303
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: going to only go to three or four teams and

304
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 3: every other team is gonna be bereft of talents. Like No,

305
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: guys still want to get play The guys still want

306
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: playing time and still want to get paid. Yeah, and

307
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: being is sitting on the bench for the Lakers is

308
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: all fining good when you keep the gear. But you're

309
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: gonna want to go play some where, you know, because

310
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 3: you need to earn the next contract. He sitting on

311
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: your ass ain't gonna do it.

312
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: No, you're one hundred percent right. If you're if you

313
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 4: want to earn the big money and you know you

314
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: have more money coming to you, you're eventually gonna gohead

315
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: and go somewhere else. You're gonna go ahead where you

316
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: could play and and and make the money. And what's

317
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: his face on the Lakers? The name is escaping me.

318
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: That just turned down the four years Austin Reeves. Uh

319
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 4: just said no to four year ninety six million because

320
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 4: I guess he's gonna make two hundred million dollars. I

321
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 4: always thought he was underpaid when he signed that contract

322
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: with the Lakers. Now he's really gonna get money, and

323
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 4: he's he's a good player. But does he deserve that

324
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: type of money?

325
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: Well, but you decide where you're at in the continuum. Right,

326
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: You're a guy that got a shot and then they

327
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: offered you four years fifty four. At that point you're saying, wait,

328
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: I get fifty four guaranteed, I'm still only gonna be

329
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: how old? Yeah, now he gets two hundred million, I

330
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: keep growing. I mean, you get to fifty if the

331
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: Lakers pay him the max, which would just be insane.

332
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: But you know, going to another team, it's still near

333
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: towards two hundred million dollars. Again, I don't think he

334
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: gets to top dollar, but he'll top eighty. Well, how

335
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: he's going thirty four guys to score twenty plus points

336
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: and that's a lot of guys.

337
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: So how many more years you think as Lebron has

338
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 4: with the Lakers. Now that the Lakers are gonna have

339
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 4: new ownership.

340
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: Ah, that's a good question. He's got one year that

341
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: he'll opt into at his fifty two million dollars. But

342
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: do they sign a one in one or does he

343
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: play one year and opt out? And what is it?

344
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: What is it gonna be that owner of that Vegas

345
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: team eventually?

346
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 6: Right?

347
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: Well, and there's the other thing that keeps circling right,

348
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: It's like Los Angeles was used for all these years

349
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: in the NFL as the hey, you know what, we're

350
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 3: gonna leave. We're gonna go to La Oh wait, now

351
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: they have two teams. Damn it. We can't use that

352
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: as a threat anymore. And our local municipality for money.

353
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, now, all of a sudden, I don't see the

354
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 4: Lakers bending over backwards for Brownie James like the old

355
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 4: ownership did. I could be wrong, maybe they will.

356
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: Well, we could continue you that as we go on

357
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: here in the National Basketball Association the offseason, because I've

358
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,800

00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: So we'll do that as we continue. A reminder, Hey,

Speaker 3: Really.

416
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. One of my neighbors hired a band the play

417
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: in his backyard, okay, and I got invited, so he

418
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 4: got any sound of these people. I told Alex to

419
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 4: pull them up. I dobt he did, so what what's

420
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: their name again? Yeah? You see, that's that's the problem,

421
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 4: wasn't their dave. I always told him, like four hours ago.

422
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 3: To well, but until seven pm Pacific time ten o'clock

423
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: Eastern time, he really doesn't have to listen to anything.

424
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know that's that's so.

425
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: And I always try to remind these guys like they're

426
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: they're not beholden to walk well for the fire for

427
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: us until until, you know, an hour before showtime. That

428
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: Ian had to do double duty. So I mean he

429
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: was already in the producer's chair before we even started.

430
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: Arnie who Who. But anyway, I heard somebody calling my

431
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: name when I was at the market and it was

432
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 4: this girl. And I'm much younger than me, and I'm

433
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 4: thinking maybe.

434
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 3: Brady Sydney Sweeney thing like, you know.

435
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 4: It was a girl that was much younger than me.

436
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 4: And you know, I get to hit on a lot.

437
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 4: I'm a good looking guy. I never wear my wedding ring.

438
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 3: And just like you got your tank top on fresh

439
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: off the court.

440
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 4: Yes, She's like, hey, my my husband and I are

00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 4: what is it? Just kind of part of us, just

449
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: but I don't think she knows that we're married. Usually

450
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 4: my wife doesn't like to tell anybody that we're married.

451
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 4: So uh, but that's not a good thing. I'm just

Speaker 4: see how it is.

455
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 3: Hey, you know it would be really sad, though. I

456
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 3: suddenly they're in the middle of their set and all

457
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you hear, you know, like low low tones,

458
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden he starts singing, Beth here

459
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: you call.

460
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 4: Me, Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly, going full kiss on you.

461
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: I don't know this was a band for their backyard though.

462
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 4: But uh, and then there was the last minute thing

463
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 4: because I only saw her today or yesterday, and the

464
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 4: party is Saturday, so I'm kind of a last minute invite.

465
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 4: I really know who Yeah, I didn't know who she

Speaker 4: But I have no I've never heard of that group before.

547
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 3: Never around since the early nineties. My movie Beautiful Girls,

548

Speaker 3: in the Beatles movie Backbeat, one of the performers. But

551
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 3: all of that to say, it's just that emotion that

552
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: brings us and why we care about sports, why people

553
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: want to shake their fists and yell at things that

554
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 3: you're saying on the radio or I'm saying on the radio.

555
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 3: It's the same thing with our bands. Right, we get

556
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: emotionally attached to all of it. Is it necessarily? Does

557
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: it make sense all the time? No? Right?

558
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: And I watch those videos. I watch those videos all

559
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 4: the time of young people listening to music from the

560
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 4: eighties and nineties for the first time. I'm like, how

561
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: have you not heard like the Beatles or something like that.

562
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: No, it's funny though, because my daughter with her soccer club, right,

563
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 3: if she gets control of the auks and now they're

564
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 3: into her playlist with the stuff she's been exposed to

565
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: through me, through her mom.

566
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 4: It could be anything.

567
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: You have no idea, where's going to go? From show

568
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 3: tunes to Abba, to Willy Nelson to well, I mean

569
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: my ex wife is Swedish originally from from Sweden, but

570
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 3: all of that to say, right, you have no idea.

571
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 3: My classic rock influence go to Jethrow Tull all the

572
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: way to the Afghan Wigs, to Throw you know, Black

573
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 3: Sabbath and so on, Right, I mean, all all of that.

574
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 3: It's a rich tapestry. So you don't know. But there's

575
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: a lot of kids that they have no idea who any.

576
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: Of these base Oh no, they have no idea.

577
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: So I'm not surprised. You know those videos when you

578
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: even if someone's you know what I'm talking about.

579
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 4: Too, right, Yeah, you you know what I'm talking where

580
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 4: they listen to a song for the first time that

581
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 4: were big hits when we were younger, and they're just like, hey,

582
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: this is pretty good man, I've never heard this before.

583
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sometimes I think it's a lot of lying. Yeah,

584
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 3: but that's a whole other thing. Sure, as we processed through,

585
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 3: but we were talking about the future of the Lakers, right, Yeah,

586
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 3: something that you know, the NBA as a whole, and

587
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 3: we get into the conspiracy theories and and Cooper Flagg

588
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 3: joked about it after he was drafted. I don't know

589
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: anything about any conspiracy theories. Wait, you're not denying it,

590
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: You're just saying you have no details. No, but it's

591
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: but it's the kind of thing that you know, we

592
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: watched the dominoes fall, and you know, it's always the

593
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: question of the invisible hand, much like the economic world. Uh,

594
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: if you go back into your economics classes and and

595
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 3: economic history of the nations. Right, but it's for the NBA.

596
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: The next iteration means for the Lakers, you're not just

597
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: beholden to the family money they've had. They've had partial

598
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 3: owners all along, aren't I mean that that that shouldn't

599
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: be shouldn't be misconstrued because I think folks are a

600
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 3: little surprised to find out that Walter already had his

601
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: hand in the cookie jar.

602
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 4: A little something.

603
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but now he becomes a controlling owner. But that

604
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: means you have access to tens of millions of dollars,

605
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 3: billions of dollars that you can invest. Look, it doesn't

606
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 3: let them circumvent any of the cap the aprons and

607
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 3: all the other stuff that is mind numbing for a

608
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: lot of NBA fans. That's still going to be there.

609
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 3: But what it does do is it allows you to say, Okay,

610
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: for these two years out of this five year period,

611
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 3: we think we have a chance to win, we will

612
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: go and pay this money, we will take the hit

613
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: in the draft, and we can invest in all the

614
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: other areas that the Bus family couldn't right.

615
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 4: And they and they wouldn't. And nothing against the Bus family.

616
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 4: It was a family thing back then.

617
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: I know, gen he hasn't called you in a while.

618
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, we went to high school. Obviously. He's married to

619
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: Jay Moore now, who used to work here at Fox

620
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: Sports Radio. I gotta tell you, Genie was born for this.

621
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: In high school, she was our basketball manager. I'll never forget.

622
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 4: I've told the story before where I was sitting outside

623
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: with my coach, one of my basketball coaches, and it

624
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 4: was just him and I talking and Genie walked by

625
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 4: and he goes, did your dad buy the Theanna Pacers?

626
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 4: And she goes, no, No, he's saving his money for

627
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: the Lakers. I shut up, Genie, who's your dad? Gonna

628
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 4: go and buy the Lakers. But it was all the

629
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: way back then in high school when they knew the

630
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: process of what they wanted to get, and they bought

631
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 4: the Lakers, and he bought it for was it for

632
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: like seven hundred or seventy eight millionaire?

633
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: I got sixty eight sixty nine million, and he got.

634
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 4: The Forum, and I mean he got everything. And people

635
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: thought he was crazy for paying that type of money.

636
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: It was it was a great investment. I loved doctor Buss.

637
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 4: I thought he was just a fun guy. Got to

638
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 4: meet him on occasion. Great guy. I thought Genie was

639
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 4: doing a really good job. You know. One thing that

640
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 4: kind of bothered me, I know that Linda Rambis and

641
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 4: Kurt Rambis were like, what two and three, I'm a

642
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 4: pecking order there, So I felt that she kind of

643
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: gave them a little bit too much power sometimes. But

644
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: Laker fans, this is a new error for you. You

645
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 4: got a guy in now that, like you said, Mike,

646
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 4: he'll spend money and he doesn't care about paying the

647
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: tax or anything like that. Look what he's done for

648
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 4: the Dodgers, so you know he's gonna go ahead and

649
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 4: do it for the Lakers and it's going to be

650
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 4: a lot more winning and a lot more big names

651
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 4: coming to the Lakers.

652
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 3: When it's all said, yeah, I mean it's certainly you

653
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 3: know the rules of engagement and the rules about how

654
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 3: you can structure things and money you can spend different

655
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: you know, luxury tails don't figure how to do.

656
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 4: It in the NBA like he like they figured it

657
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 4: out with showe Otani.

658
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: Trying to figure out base I'm surius. We'll be curious

659
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: to see, you know where they can people.

660
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 4: I'm smarter than us. But Mike, I promise you that

661
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: we'll figure it out. I do promise you.

662
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: Well, that's just it. Nobody's cracked that code yet. But

663
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: maybe Walter in his two we just.

664
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: Cracked the baseball code, didn't we. We just cracked the

665
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: code on how to do that just this last night. Yeah.

666
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: I think a lot of that was all handshake agreements

667
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: about they're going to do it. But I just remember

668
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, being on air and being

669
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: one of few voices to Champion when Balmer bought the

670
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: Clippers for two billion, and I said, good for him,

671
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 3: this is smart money and here's why. And I was

672
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 3: called an idiot in every name in the look now

673
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 3: have they won any way? But I mean, how many

674
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 3: times do franchises open up in premier market places? Not

675
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 3: very often Boston, But all of a sudden, you've got

676
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: a little bit of a shift here, right of hey,

677
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: I can cash out. Market's good, changing face of the game, internationalization,

678
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: different rules at play in terms of how you operate.

679
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: And again for some of the old family business, right

680
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: you can say, wait, we can cash out.

681
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: At what Mark Cuban cashed out and said, I'll take

682
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 4: the money.

683
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: He still has a percentage of ownership or whatever it is,

684
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: but he doesn't have control.

685
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 4: Has nothing to say, zero to say.

686
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: Never never, one of the biggest wallflowers we've ever met.

687
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: I actually got tickets to a game once from him.

688
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: But we'll talk about that a little bit later on

753
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 6: before we you put the headset down? What did you

754
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 6: think of Arnie singing?

755
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 3: Oh my Love? What do you think of the execution

756
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: on Arnie singing?

757
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 6: As is kind of a reference by Alex. This is

758
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 6: like when Rob Parker sings on the air and I

759
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 6: said to him on the air, nothing behind his back?

760
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 6: Why is it that people who want to sing the

761
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 6: most can sing the least? This is yet another example

762
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 6: of that.

763
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 4: I need auto tune. Okay, maybe that's what I need.

764
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,040

819
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 3: he knows. Even going back to what I was doing

820
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 3: trading guard shows, I'd be pricing cards and on the

821
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 3: radio would be my guy, Arnie Spanier, So all these

822
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: years later, it's always a pleasure to chop it up

823
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 3: and yell at you as I want to do. People

824
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: yelling and a lot of screaming in the w NBA.

825
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark out again groin injury. There's some video from

826
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: the other day also to where maybe she's nursing a

827
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 3: little bit of an arm injury. Certainly has been bruised

828
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 3: and battered, and certainly has teammates concerned. Jason and I

829
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: were talking a little bit last night. It's kind of

830
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 3: funny that the league is finally in a weird circular way,

831
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 3: circuitous route, I guess would be the way to say it.

832
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 3: Even with all the attention to Caitlin Clark this year,

833
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: some of the players that have been around a long time,

834
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 3: not that they didn't get shine in the past, but

835
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: they're getting even more. Right Kelsey Plumb with the aces

836
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 3: she's been outspoken. We she's been around years, her teammate

837
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark's that is in Indiana. Now you got Sophie

838
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 3: Cunningham stood up for She's been in the league six years,

839
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 3: but after that incident, gain nearly a million followers on

840
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 3: her insubscribed TikTok a right, But it's those kinds of

841
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 3: things that have added up and you're you're wondering, all right, officiating,

842
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: how much is to blame versus Like the human body

843
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 3: eventually breaks down a bit and she she's taken some hits,

844
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 3: doesn't mean she at times doesn't instigate uh and and

845
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 3: get into it with players. But where we're at right now,

846
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 3: it's you know, that's the cash cow to the to

847
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 3: the league games.

848
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 4: You're one hundred percent right, she's the cash cow. Let

849
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 4: me tell you something though, if there was no Caitlyn

850
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 4: Clark there go back to being the w NBA would

851
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: be non existent. We wouldn't care about it anymore. She's

852
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: the reason why we care. That's sure. There's people say

853
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 4: all I care and then start listening to the names

854
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 4: of all the great outfits from the WNBA. Not really,

855
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 4: but you don't go to games. They've lost so much

856
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 4: money to what twenty five million a year or what

857
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 4: it was, the only reason they're around is because the

858
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 4: NBA subsidized them, So you know, take that for what

859
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 4: it's worth. But Kaitlin Kark is turning the page on

860
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 4: that she's going to bring him to financial stability, and

861
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:34,720
Speaker 4: she's what the NBAWNBA is all about.

862
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 3: So we'll see as they move forward, because in the

863
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 3: offing we talk about the new CBA for the NHL

864
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: and the expansion to eighty four regular season games. The

865
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: WNBA CBA also in negotiations right now, so we're keeping

866
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: an eye on the details there. He's already spanner in

867
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 3: for Jason Smith on Mike Carmon as we continue Cooper Flagg,

868
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 3: the week that was and the years ahead. What do

869
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 3: we expect next? On Fox
