Through the first couple of hours. We 25 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: even talked about a potential gambling scandal in the NBA, 26 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: the one with Malik Beasley, who apparently is under investigation. 27 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: This according to we'll go ahead and reset this because 28 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: there's been further evidence that has come out here, which 29 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: is what we kind of speculated on. But according to 30 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: sham Shrani at ESPN, the US District's Attorney's office is 31 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: investigating the Pistons Guard on allegations of gambling related to 32 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: NBA games and prop bets from the twenty twenty three 33 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty four season when he played for the Bucks. 34 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: They've looked into this. According to there's one prominent US 35 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: sportsbook that detected unusually heavy betting interest on Beasley's stats 36 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: beginning around January twenty twenty four, a gambling industry source 37 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: told ESPN's David Purdham. 38 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: Now. 39 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: They pointed to a game on January thirty first of 40 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four in which a lot of money came 41 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: in on the under of two and a half rebounds 42 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: from the league Beasley, and it skewed the line, the 43 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: under didn't hit. All those bets lost, so the over 44 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: actually hit in the second quarter. You look at that, 45 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: and you and I were kind of speculating, there's got 46 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: to be more to this, because this is not enough 47 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: for me to go, Okay, well we got this is 48 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: a big to do and the NBA needs to step 49 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: in and do something. But the fact that this story 50 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: came out, we wondered was there more to it? And 51 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: people have started going down the rabbit hole and finding 52 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: video clips of Malik Beasley, and there's one in particular 53 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: where there's a rebound he picks up off a free throw. 54 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: The Bucks are down by nine, and he gets the 55 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: rebound in a game that's over, the clock is winding 56 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: down and goes coast to coast and dunks it with 57 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: no time remaining, And the points spread was eight and 58 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: a half, and so you're looking at that going hmm, 59 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: did he have his team plus eight and a half 60 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: And that's why he took the ball and went coast 61 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: to coast when nobody would ever do that. Nobody would 62 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: ever if eight and a half and they won by eight, well, no, 63 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: they won by seven, Oh, they won best so that 64 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: they hit the under. Yeah, so the lead he bet 65 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: on hitting the under, so the. 66 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: Lead was nine. He got the rebound, Okay, got you, 67 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: got you, gotch and so got you. 68 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: But but this is this is what I'm wondering, because 69 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: the rebound prop bet that this sort of soft tossed 70 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: to us isn't enough for me to freak out about it. 71 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: But stuff like that would be. If it's impacting the games, 72 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: and it's impacting the outcome of the games as it 73 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: applies to the total hole the teams, that's different. That's different. 74 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: I mean, the rules are the rules. If he's breaking 75 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: the rules and he's betting on himself and and he's 76 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: trying to hit the overs and unders on how many 77 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: rebounds and assists that he gets, then punish him and 78 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: keep it moving. But if he is altering games and 79 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: in a way where it impacts the reputation of yeah, 80 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 2: he's pushing that ball down, the game is over. He 81 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: pushed it. Yeah, you should have walked it up and 82 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 2: gave it to the referee. But he pushed it coast 83 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: to coast. And I stand that was when he's with 84 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: the Timberwolves, not the Timberwolves. Yeah, I just you know, 85 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any room for for that. If 86 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: you're if you're impacting game in a manner that that 87 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: destroys the integrity of what the game represents, that has 88 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 2: to be addressed. 89 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: It's just it's either that or NBA fans just aren't 90 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: used to seeing players give effort all game, and so 91 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: they're not used to. 92 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: Give effort on the very final play of the game. Place, 93 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: and you got the game one place, you're going to 94 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: lose the game. You're down what you're down by two? 95 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're still losing. Yeah, but you lost by under 96 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: the spread, right, You're still going to lose. But that's 97 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: why I just think there's more to this. I I 98 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: don't I don't buy the whole This was a nice, 99 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: a nice little soft by the NBA to report that, 100 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Oh it was for a prop bet on rebounds, Okay, 101 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: but why was Why is there an investigation into it? 102 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: Right? 103 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: Like an investigation into this? Why is his attorney already 104 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: giving a statement afterwards? I mean we're talking like this 105 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: is the USDA's office that's investigating this. You've got, you know, 106 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: a US sportsbook and at least one of them. This 107 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: is multiple sources on ESPN talking to both of those entities. 108 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: You've got his attorney coming out with a statement, all 109 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: of this on the brink of free agency when he 110 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: was expected to sign a new free agent deal. And 111 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: I just I think what the NBA did and what 112 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: ESPN did is they threw out and it's you know, 113 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: just wanted everybody to know they're investigating this. It's a 114 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: prop bet because I think that there's more to this, 115 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: and I think there's more coming to this story. 116 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: And when you say more egregious from him or from 117 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 2: others from him and like not passing the ball to 118 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: a guy so that they don't get the stat line 119 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: that they deserved. Like when you say more egregious, what 120 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: do you mean, Well, is he putting icy hot in 121 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: somebody's jockstrap and they can't play in the game now. 122 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: So Johntay Porter, when he got popped. Amongst the details 123 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: on his violations and when people really caught wind of 124 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: him doing some funny stuff is when their money came in. 125 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: I believe there might have even been text exchanges where 126 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: he bet on or a lot of money came in 127 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: on the under of him shooting threes or point totals 128 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: or something along those lines. He checked into a game 129 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: and then checked out shortly afterwards, complaining of an eye injury. 130 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: Well guess what he played those bets count and that 131 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: those bets hit like that, that's a smoking gun this 132 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: Well you listen, he bet a lot of money, came 133 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: in on under two and a half rebounds and those 134 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: bets didn't hit. 135 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: So what's I mean? What you know? 136 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: But at least he's being investigated. I wonder if this 137 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: is also the NBA maybe using him as a scapegoat. 138 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: He's about to sign a big money deal in free 139 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: agency that's about to happen. I wonder if this is 140 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: the NBA saying, hey, this guy's already had a run 141 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: in before. He got suspended like eleven twelve games a 142 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: couple of years ago for a gun's charge. And this 143 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: has already been an issue with him before, and now 144 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: we've got gambling allegations. Just so everybody knows this guy 145 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: was on the brink of free agency about to get 146 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: a big money deal, Maybe the NBAS make an example 147 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: of him and letting the rest of the league know. 148 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: In so many words, if anybody else is doing this, 149 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: cut the crap now, because this is going to cost 150 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: him a ton of money and the rest of his career. 151 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: So if anybody else is doing this, cut the crap now. 152 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: And I wonder if Malique Beasley is being is being 153 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: the scapegoat here and the example of the NBA letting 154 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,239 Speaker 1: their players know, hey, friendly reminder, this can cost you everything, 155 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: like it's about to cost this guy. 156 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: If you need this type of reminder at this point 157 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: in your career, it's already too late. You're not going 158 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: to be He's you know, Beasley's not going to be 159 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 2: a deterrent to those who can't control themselves at this 160 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: point in their life. So if you're trying to make 161 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: him an example, good luck with that. Those who are 162 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: going to mess up are going to mess up. And 163 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: you know, you can make this as harsh a penalty 164 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: as you want to make it. Again, Now, if that's 165 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 2: Lebron James, that's different. That's different. If it's if it's 166 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: a big name player. See, when you spank a little player, 167 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, he shouldn't have got caught, But that 168 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: hasn't got anything to do with me. I'm gonna just 169 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 2: keep doing me. But when you get somebody of influence, 170 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: like how many times have we seen somebody get popped 171 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: of influence, like of real stature and status get popped 172 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: for any of these types of accusations. Pete Rose, Okay, 173 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: how long ago is that we have Have we had 174 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: anybody recently in the NBA, any big name athletes in 175 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: the NBA, I mean major brand athletes like the all 176 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: right Showha Tani in baseball. But that was his interpreterpreter. 177 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: That's not even And you see how how polarizing and 178 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: how much that gripped sport News when it was just 179 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: the translator. Now imagine if it came out that it 180 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 2: was him. That's different. Oh, shoe Atani gets suspended for 181 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: a year, that's different. To ask you this, if this 182 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: was Lebron James. Calvin Ridley is a pretty decent one. 183 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, if it was Lebron James, 184 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: you think we'd ever find out about it? No, absolutely not. 185 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: It can't because it would it would destroy it would 186 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 3: destroy the credibility of what goes on in the NBA. 187 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: It would it would destroy the reputation of the NBA. 188 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 2: And that's that's why to me, every single time these 189 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 2: types of stories surface and they pop up, it's like, 190 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 2: for what You're not popping James Harden. You're not You're 191 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: not popping Anthony Edwards. You're not popping any of those guys. 192 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: Pop a guy that that if you have to sit 193 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: him out for a year, it really did impact that team, 194 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: and it really did impact the league. That's how you 195 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 2: set an example. 196 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: Well, but I do think, and we were mentioning this earlier, 197 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: at this point, if they can't help themselves, it's like 198 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: he can't get right, right, I mean, wouldn't you? Isn't 199 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: that what you call it? 200 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: It could be right. 201 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: So he's a guy who And that's why if people 202 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: want to claim that this is the issue, as we 203 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, when you welcome gambling into the NBA, dude, 204 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: just because you welcome them in a sponsors doesn't mean 205 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: you have to partake in the gambling of your own games. Okay, 206 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: that's that's not how it works. That's why I made 207 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: the example. Like everybody's got a kitchen with knives in it, 208 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: you don't use it on a relative, Like you have 209 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: a choice in this. He's got a choice, and he 210 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: chose to potentially ruin his career by betting on himself 211 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: in games or against himself whatever. So like I just 212 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: I look at this story and I go, there's got 213 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: to be more to it. You can't have me, you know, 214 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: get caught up in this and freak out about an 215 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: over under rebound total that didn't even hit by the 216 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: second quarter and lost all the money that came in 217 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: on it without there being more to the story. And 218 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: now people are starting to look back at the at 219 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: the course of his career and going, well, he didn't 220 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: hustle here. He hustled a little bit too much there. 221 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: He did a little bit too much of this. Hm, 222 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: he's already had off the court issues before. Yeah, maybe 223 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: there is something here, and I just think that the NBA, 224 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: But again, end to what end? I think there's gonna 225 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: be more than end. If it connects, if it connects 226 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: to a bigger a bigger, bigger issue, I get it. 227 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 2: If it does not connect, if it just starts and 228 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: ends with this young man, but what is the old Like, Okay, 229 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: he he was betting on himself, he got caught. What 230 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 2: makes it any more of a story than that, you 231 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like, what's his relevance to to 232 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: what's going on with the NBA? And like, well, we'll 233 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 2: call out referees and say, Okay, we get and understand 234 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: the magnitude of if a referee or a group of 235 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 2: referees are interfering in a way where it dictates the 236 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: outcome of a game. I get that, right, we get that. 237 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: What is the what for Beasley to be in this 238 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: situation is what's the ultimate end? What's the storyline here 239 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: that makes Malik Beasley relevant in this scenario. 240 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: Because he's about to sign a big money deal and 241 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: on the brink of free agency, this story comes out. 242 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it's coincidental. I think it's this is 243 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: a friendly reminder, don't mess around. It's going to cost 244 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: this guy millions of dollars and it's going to cost 245 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: him his career potentially because he wanted to, you know, 246 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: fart around and do prop bets or you know, potentially 247 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: get involved in gambling on his own games like that. 248 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: That's that's what I think. 249 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: I don't think that that's for the public determination though, 250 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: that's a that's within the league determination, right like oh 251 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: like for all the players that aren't major brand players. 252 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: If if you're planning on getting a good contract or 253 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 2: being in the good graces of the league, don't. Here's 254 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: one place you just don't the waters you don't get 255 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: into that's more internal. 256 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think it's a it's sort of a 257 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: flare gun into the sky for NBA players, Like, Hey, 258 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: this is an issue, and I think the NBA probably 259 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: knows that there's more of this that goes on, Like 260 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: they don't have enough hard evidence, but I'm sure they're 261 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: probably aware that. Yeah, maybe like this is how this 262 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: would work if you were an NBA player and somebody 263 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: came to you and said, hey, are you playing in 264 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: this game? Yeah, be playing in this game. All right, 265 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: here's X amount of dollars. I don't know, miss a 266 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: couple more threes than you normally would, which is stupid, no. 267 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: Problem, Like why is it no problem? 268 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: But you but you can't. But you can. It's just 269 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: that simple though, Like you can impact games that directly. 270 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is, again, if you're making what 271 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: you're making as a player, why would you like you've 272 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: got to be one silly, stupid mother effort. I agree 273 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: to go down that road just based off of the 274 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: minimum wage of what you're making a great like and 275 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: that's so dumb you can't get right, So you can't 276 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: get right. Just you can't get right. And I just 277 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 2: and and and let nature take its course, like get 278 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 2: your ass up out of here. 279 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: It's you know, but the NBA has got another, uh, 280 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: you know, another potential scandal on its hand. So which, 281 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: by the way, I think this stuff is fascinating. I 282 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: welcome at all cost, whatever it takes, give us something, 283 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: give us some more of this. I'd rather talk about 284 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: this than his actual free agency. 285 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: Malik Beasley, well offense. I mean, thank you, malig Malik 286 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 2: Beasley for giving us a topic.

We 336 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 1: are very appreciative that the partnership that we've had for 337 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: eight years with Genie Buss and Rob Polenka, and consider 338 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: the Lakers as a critical part of his career. We 339 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: understand the difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future. 340 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: We do want to evaluate what's best for Lebron at 341 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: this stage of his life and career. He wants to 342 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: make every season he has left count and the Lakers 343 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: understand that, are supportive and want what's best for him. Again, 344 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: that from Rich Paul Clutch, sports CEO on Lebron James 345 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: opting in to his fifty two point six million dollar 346 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: player option good for him. Wasn't the Luca trade an 347 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: effort to win now? Wouldn't you call that an effort 348 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: to us? Okay, just wondering they need one more though, Yeah, 349 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: they need. 350 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 2: To add one more guy to this team in order 351 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: for that to take place. I mean, if there were 352 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 2: rumors circulating, my guy Cuffs was talking about the possibility 353 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 2: of Yannis possibly getting out of of Milwaukee, and if 354 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: he were to get out of Milwaukee, could he end 355 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 2: up in a place like LA Would that be allowed 356 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: to happen? 357 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: I mean. 358 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: I allowed, I mean what could it happened? Could it happened? 359 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what they would have to give up 360 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: to get I mean that would take Luca to get 361 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: to make that happen. Do you think, yeah, there's Milwaukee, 362 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: it's not trading. 363 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: You can't get rid of Luca to that's like addition 364 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 2: bass subtraction. That's not I think it would take something 365 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: else to make the trade. Some first round draft picks 366 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: like two, three, four, would take a lot and maybe 367 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: a couple couple players Austin Reeves, some guys that maybe 368 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 2: don't necessarily want to be be there. 369 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: Here's the part that I find funny about this. So 370 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: they want win now moves, like they understand, you know, 371 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: they got to think towards the future. But Lebron James 372 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: and his representative want win now moves. All right, then 373 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: why did you make the team draft and play your 374 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: son Dang? Like, seriously, if this is all about if 375 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: this is all about we want win now moves, what's that? 376 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 2: I think when now moves are they were close to 377 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 2: where they needed to be. They they did not get 378 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: out of the first round, but I think that they 379 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 2: were one player away from having enough plays to get 380 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: out of the first round. And who knows what happens 381 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 2: if they get out of the first round. That's what 382 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 2: I would say, who knows what happens? And I think 383 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 2: Lebron James feels that way as well. Well. He was 384 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: he was banged up. There were some there were some 385 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: people that basically said that the interesting aspect of what 386 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 2: took place was all things measured out and given. They 387 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: would have been better off with a healthy Anthony Davis 388 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 2: rather than having a Luca because it would have created 389 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 2: a different matchup within the playoffs against Minnesota. So I 390 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 2: thought that was interesting, which made me feel as though 391 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 2: they need somebody who can be a download presence that 392 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 2: is elite. Now, where does that exist? I don't know. 393 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: I know aiden is out there. That could be an interesting, 394 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: interesting grab. 395 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's also been maybe a Robert Williams in Portland 396 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: who's been banged up the past couple of years. 397 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: Maybe that makes some sense. They need one more, they 398 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: need one more. And if you're in a win now, 399 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 2: which I mean, I think that's overstated a lot right 400 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: when now? That should always be what a team wants 401 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 2: to do. When do if you don't want to win, now, 402 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 2: when do you want to win? I think we'll win 403 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: in April twenty twenty eight, that's our target. Yeah, twenty eight, 404 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: that's yeah, let's put it off for a company, you 405 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 2: want to win some games, now, give me a minute, 406 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: not ready yet, don't really want to win right now? 407 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: What how does that work? Look? 408 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: I just think at a certain point, because Lebron's got 409 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: this no trade clause, at a certain point, the timelines 410 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: don't match up, and they are under new ownership and 411 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: they are going to this might be the proper time 412 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: for Lebron to pounds and so maybe they just need 413 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: to come to terms with the fact that, hey, he 414 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: got us kind of a ring in COVID. It's been 415 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, I guess successful. It made the Lakers relevant 416 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: and competitive again. But at a certain point we just 417 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: got to call it. We can't let him control the 418 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: fate of the organization any longer. We've got Luca. 419 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 2: We're gonna go younger. They're not gonna let him leave. 420 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: That's not happening. 421 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: Lucas is gonna be a Laker, probably for the rest 422 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: of his career. I just maybe this is the final 423 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: year and they move on and everybody goes their separate 424 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: rates with that last year, well, yeah, I'm probably the 425 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: year before last year, probably the year before. 426 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: I just think that the benefit that Lebron James has 427 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 2: right now is that no one's replaced him, DoD Like, 428 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: there's nothing more to it. The benefit of Lebron James 429 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: being in the position that he's still in right now 430 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: is that no one has replaced Lebron James. You asked 431 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 2: a question the other week, and you gave the answer, 432 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan, who is the face of the league. Oh yeah, 433 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: you gave the answer, Michael Jordan, My guy, Michael Jordan. 434 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 2: I gave you the answer Lebron James. Whichever one you 435 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: choose to go with, it's not an incorrect answer. So 436 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: if you're looking at it from a critical perspective, you didn't. 437 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 2: It's not gonna be SGA. You're not saying that's the 438 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 2: face of the league. You're not saying Nicola Jokic is 439 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: the face of the league. You're not saying Luka Dancis 440 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 2: is the face of the league. You're not saying Giannis 441 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 2: is the face of the league. You're not saying Tatum 442 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: or Brown, You're not saying any of these names. 443 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 4: And b. 444 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 2: You could go down the list of guys that are 445 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:35,120 Speaker 2: in the in the NBA, John Moran, Anthony Edwards. There's 446 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 2: not one that you could say has undisputedly taken the 447 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 2: Belts away from Lebron James being the face of the NBA. 448 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 2: And until that happens, Lebron has leverage. You brought in 449 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: Luking Luka Dantics you you brought him in, and as 450 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 2: big a name as he is, it still does not 451 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: had the eclipsing power over Lebron James as the face 452 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 2: of not only that team, but in the face of 453 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 2: the league. And until that happens, you are going to 454 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 2: be able to hold one of the most storied franchises 455 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 2: somewhat hostage. You gotta play by Lebron James's rule because 456 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 2: he is doing something that maybe isn't discussed very much 457 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: because they don't win it all, but he's impacting. He's 458 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: continuing to impact the Lakers bottom line and the NBA's 459 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: bottom line. He is one of the top story drivers. 460 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 2: He is one of the names, if not the name, 461 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 2: that still drives the familiarity, the trust, the buy in, 462 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: the tuning in to the NBA. It's Lebron James and 463 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,959 Speaker 2: he knows it, and so did the Lakers, and so 464 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: does the NBA and so yeah and so so and 465 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: he let's win now, and he knows. 466 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: How to uh, you know, to stir it up each 467 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: and every off season. So he's going to be back 468 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: fifty two point six million dollars. By the way, how 469 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: about that help the fact that you can just say, 470 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: I'll just opt into another fifty fifty Yeah, fifty two million, 471 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: and it can't be mad at that. It's unbelievable. It's 472 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: unbelievable the money that started around. 473 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 2: You can't be mad at that. But think about what 474 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 2: your value is. If they want you to pick up 475 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: the option, and you want to pick up the option, 476 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 2: you have a tremendous value. No matter if you like 477 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: Lebron or you don't like Lebron, whether you're a Lakers 478 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 2: fan or you're not a Lakers fan, doesn't matter. That 479 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: man's value shines through over and over again, whether you 480 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: don't like it flopping or you you don't like the 481 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 2: excuses that he makes, or the fact that he opens 482 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 2: up books but he hasn't read though. It doesn't matter 483 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 2: where you fall on him. He moves the needle. 484 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, he's still a great player. Hello, 485 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: that's the other part of this. Let's get too far 486 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: away from that. Like that, that's the other part of 487 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: this too. So if there was because I'll see some 488 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: like people speculate, well, maybe he would go back to Cleveland, 489 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: maybe he would go to here, maybe he would go 490 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: to there. And you'll see people that root for those 491 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: fan bases be like, no, no, he's older, he's dude. 492 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: It's hard to find anybody in the league right now. 493 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: It's hard to find that many guys that are better 494 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: than Lebron James. He's not at his peak, and he's 495 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: still an All NBA play. 496 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 2: Well, that's his talent because if you throw him brand value, 497 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 2: it's not even close. Yeah, he's in a different stratosphere 498 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 2: of pretty much any other player in the NBA. 499 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: Like if you were if he didn't have a no 500 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: trade clause and say the Lakers wanted to deal him 501 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: wherever he oh, he increases the value of that organization 502 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: on the floor and off the floor immediately tenfold, like 503 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: the moment it happens, period, and the Lakers know that, 504 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: why would you why would you trade him away? And 505 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: this is a guy who's almost a quarter century into 506 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: his NBA career. 507 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 2: I mean, if you think about it, it's how many 508 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: how many basketball games are there during the season, eighty six, 509 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: eighty two? If I have Lebron Jane, and some would 510 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: argue that's eighty two too many. It is, but that 511 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: is too minutes, and that's not eighty two. I don't 512 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: want to be negative here on the show. Well, it's true, 513 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: but I think the reality that also is here, and 514 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: the truth that's here, is that every single game Lebron 515 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 2: James plays in, I can guarantee you the ticket prices 516 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 2: and the ticket sales are different, no matter if they're 517 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: at home or away. He's a ticket, He's a big ticket. 518 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 2: So if I'm going to make money off of Lebron 519 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: James eighty two times during the course of the regular season, 520 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 2: if that man goes out in the first round of 521 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: the playoffs, do you think I'm tripping? Do you think 522 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: I'm gonna lose my mind? Lebron? What are you doing? 523 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: You freaking stink right now? We're out in the first round. No. No, 524 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 2: he's making you money handover fist every week, even in 525 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: these games that you're losing. He's making you a ton 526 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: of flipping money. 527 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: I remember when he was young in his career, so 528 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: I would do but before I got an actual before 529 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: I was actually employed in radio, I would basically intern 530 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: and I would get to go to Clippers games, and 531 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: I would call in and give these reports from Clippers 532 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: games on the air.
