By 14 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: the way, and also we say good morning to our 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: radio appili it's around the country. We got a WOJE 16 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: bomb in the NBA yesterday. I don't know if it 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: was a bomb or not. It was a little bit 18 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: of a surprise. Ben Simmons reportedly is not going to 19 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: report to the seventy six ers camp. He refused to 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: play for the team. At least it looks like that 21 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: moving forward. It's been brewing in the offseason, teams seemed 22 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: to be eager to trade him, but they couldn't find 23 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: a partner because they were asking too much. Now everybody 24 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: finds themselves in an awkward position. Seventy Sixers don't have 25 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: any leverage, or not the leverage they thought that could 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: help them get this deal done, and then Ben has 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: nowhere else to go when camp starts. Camp starts next week. 28 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: By the way, not long ago, there was a lot 29 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: of optimism in Philadelphia. He had Simmons, Joe ellen Bead, 30 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: young stars built around, gave Simmons a max contract. Simmons 31 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: hasn't developed offensively, and the flashpoint was last year's playoffs. 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: He passed up and opened dunk against the Hawks when 33 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: six foot Trey Young was coming after him. This appears 34 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: to be one of those situations where both parties would 35 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: be better off without one another. The problem is trying 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: to figure out how this is going to work. Keep 37 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: this in mind, go back to the playoffs when the 38 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: seventy Sixers lost to the Hawks and Doc Rivers was 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: asked after the series, can you win a championship with 40 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons as your point guard? And he said, I 41 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: don't know. Doc is too honest in the situation one 42 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: like that. He could be correct in what he's saying, 43 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: but that's a must lie situation. If that didn't open 44 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: the door, you at least had the keys to open 45 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: the door. And then Joe l embiid he didn't exactly 46 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: back up Ben Simmons either. Now you have Ben Simmons 47 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: under contract for four more years max contract here, And 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to a couple of weeks 49 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: ago when Joe l embiid out of nowhere talked about 50 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons saying nice things. I said, oh, this is 51 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: all scripted, because now you're doing it. The reason now 52 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: is because other teams are going, wait, what do you 53 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: want for Ben Simmons? So you don't want him, but 54 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: you want a whole lot for him. You can't have both. 55 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: And I thought was, if you bring him back, Joe 56 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: l nbid saying something nice, or you're saying, I guess 57 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: to the rest of the NBA, hey, I love I 58 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: love Ben. I want him back here, not that a 59 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: team's going to go, oh my gosh, now we have 60 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: to trade for him. Now we have to give them 61 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: what they want. Ben Simmons needs to go someplace else. 62 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: I can't imagine Philadelphia, the fans, Joel embiid Doc Rivers. 63 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: I just I don't see that happening. The question is 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: where does he go? And I thought Sacramento Houston would 65 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: be two places like he almost needs to be in 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: a situation where these aren't high profile games, important games, 67 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: like he almost has to rEFInd himself. I don't know 68 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: if Portland is going to be a place. And I 69 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: thought all along Portland would be the place that they 70 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: might trade for him him, But you know, does Dame 71 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: Lillard want to play with him? Does Philly wants c 72 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: J McCollum, Philly wants Dame Lillard, which, yeah, but I 73 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: would not be making that trade CJ McCollum. Okay, Houston, 74 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: I thought that's where he was going. And that's a 75 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: young team I don't know, and Ben's not old. What's 76 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: he twenty five? So you can bring him in here, 77 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: but what role does he play? Is anybody else truly 78 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: interested in Ben Simmons And the fact that Philadelphia is 79 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: not interested would make me so to shy away and go. 80 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: They don't want him, but they want you to want him. 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: Why is that? That doesn't make any sense? But Daryl 82 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: Morey seems to pull off these deals and not afraid 83 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: to swing for the fences. But I also think you 84 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: need to understand how far the fence is. You can 85 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: swing for the fences. You might have warning track power 86 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: when it comes to Ben Simmons, and that would be 87 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: the big concern. You're gonna have to take less for 88 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons because you have shined the spotlight on his flaws. 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to shoot free throws and he doesn't 90 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: want to shoot, can't shoot, but he does other things well. 91 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: He needs to find a place, just like Draymond Green 92 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: is with Golden State. In fact, I thought that would 93 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: be a great person to be able to replace Draymond 94 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: Green and then maybe give Philadelphia a different look with 95 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Draymond Green. But you know, Draymond Green can shoot threes, 96 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: but he doesn't go out there needing to shoot. He 97 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: does other things for you. He's a rebounder, real good defender, 98 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: tough guy, instigator, And maybe you get an older version 99 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: of Ben Simmons and this way Golden State. Golden State 100 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: has got a lot of young players there. I thought 101 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: that that might be a nice mix, and just by 102 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: watching Steph Curry and Clay Thompson shoot, you're gonna get better, 103 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: and maybe they could actually help him. Steve is one 104 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: of the great shooters of all time. You have three 105 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: of the greatest shooters of all time on the same team, 106 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: and I take away that pressure that, oh my god, 107 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: he's got to go to the free throw line. Oh 108 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: my god, he's gonna take it three. He just needs 109 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: he'd need to be a really good defender, handle the ball, 110 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: distribute those would be things that he would do well. 111 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: No one ever said, boy, Magic Johnson can't shoot. Magic 112 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: never had a jumper. But Magic was aggressive on offense. 113 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: And that's the difference. Ben Simmons is not aggressive. He 114 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to the free throw line. Magic 115 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: would take it to the hoop. But he had a 116 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: set shot. You know, there wasn't anything that was magical 117 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: about his jump shot. But he did other things really well. 118 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: But Ben is a better defender, probably as good, if 119 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: not better, rebounder. But it just Magic had the confidence 120 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: the command. Ben doesn't have a confidence. Magic comes down 121 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: the floor and it's like, I don't know who's getting it. 122 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: Somebody's getting it, somebody's gonna look, I'm gonna embarrass somebody 123 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: here and Ben doesn't do that. Ben is like, uh, 124 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: let me defer, let me defer, and you can't play 125 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: that position like that. Yeah. See, I think it hurts 126 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons a lot too, at least the perception of 127 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: the player that he is, that he's playing in this 128 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: era of people regularly taking you know, forty five foot 129 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: three pointers and it's no big deal where and you 130 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: can't hit a free throw, dude, and you're gonna pass 131 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: up a dunk. And meanwhile, Damian Lillard's shooting from the 132 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: other side of the stadium, like, dude, what he's got 133 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: to work on shooting free throws because if you shoot 134 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: free throws, then you can be aggressive going to the hoop. 135 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: But you're shooting sixty one percent. You can't shoot sixty 136 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: one percent having the ball in your hands all the 137 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: time and latent games you don't want the ball. I 138 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: can guard you at the end of a game because 139 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I know you don't want to shoot. And when you 140 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: become a negative at the end of a game, you know, 141 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: that's tough to win championships with one of your two 142 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: best players. You're a max contract guy and you can't shoot. Yeah, 143 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: do you think Simmons and his people are trying to 144 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: pull the same move that James Harden did a year ago, 145 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: but they don't have thirty three and ten and eight 146 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: to go with it. James Harden was he could do everything. Well, yeah, defense, 147 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: who cares? But James Harden was as elite as it 148 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: gets when he pushed for a trade. I just have 149 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: to find a place where he can regain his confidence. 150 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: And I don't know exactly. I thought he should have 151 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: played for the Australian Olympic team. Play with people you know, 152 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: get confidence and therefore you can He's in his own 153 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: head and that we've seen athletes once they get in, 154 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: it's really hard to get out. But if I'm Philadelphia, 155 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: I know you don't want him. The question is what 156 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: are we willing to take for him? What can you get? 157 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: How much value does he have? I think he has 158 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: a lot of value. But I would go back and 159 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: have him watch that Utah game when he scored I 160 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: think forty two points when Joe l Embiid was out. 161 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: I would have Ben go back and say, who is 162 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: that guy? And why can't you be that guy? But 163 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: is he broken? It's close? It's close, but I don't 164 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: think he comes back to Philadelphia. I don't think you 165 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: can have him back. Lawrence in Texas joins us, Hey, Lawrence, 166 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? No, you're talking about Ben Simmons. 167 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm calling from San Antonio, and I know I haven't 168 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: heard your comment about w that. I've heard that the 169 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 1: Spurs are in the mix for Ben Simmons. Sananton to 170 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: be a perfect fit for him. And you're talking about 171 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: free throws. He can't shoot a free throw, but looking 172 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: will Chamberlin Higgin shoot freetrows either. He scored one hundred 173 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: points and I thought Annie led the league in points, rebound, 174 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: an assist. I believe twelve point seven at one time. Yeah. 175 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: But but but he was dominating on offense. He couldn't 176 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: shoot free throws, but he still dominated on offense. So 177 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: it's Ben doesn't dominate on offense. Okay, let me get 178 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: to my point. He will Chamberlain also dominate on defense. 179 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Except I mean he played in the era of Bill Russell, 180 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: so he got overshadows. Um, but my I mean Simmons 181 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: put him on the low post. No, no, no, they've 182 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: done that. But thanks for the phone, called Larrence. He 183 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to get found. He doesn't want to 184 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: be inside. He wants to distribute. He's a perimeter player 185 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: who's not good on the perimeter. I mean, that's it. 186 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: He don't want to go inside. That's so funny, out 187 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: simple you said that, but it's it's mind blowing. He's 188 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: a perimeter player who can't play well. Yes, I mean, 189 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: can can you trade him to Sacramento? You could get 190 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: a pretty good package there. I mean Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Healed, 191 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: Marvin Bagley Junior, the third um, you know, the Blazers. 192 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: If if I don't know, if I don't, I don't know, 193 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: if I would give up Damian Lelar, I don't know. Yeah, 194 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: MC club. What are the other myths is? You know, 195 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: he's like a defensive Player of the Year Canaida. He's 196 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: a glove But if you're a six foot two, quick 197 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: shooting guard, you will just destroy him. No, you're right, 198 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: because like Trey Young, it's fifty feet from the basket. 199 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: So it's it's like Seaton said, Today's NBA is just 200 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: not built for him. Yeah, he got exposed a little 201 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: bit with Trey Young. You know, Minnesota is also a possibility. 202 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: D'Angelo Russell, uh this the Bowls, was Zach Levine like, 203 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: there's teams, but I still go if I'm if I'm 204 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: one of these teams, what am I getting in Ben Simmons. 205 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: If I'm Philadelphia, I know what I'm getting with McCollum 206 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: or Dai Lillard or Buddy Healed from the Sacramento King. 207 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: Zach Levine, I don't know what I'm getting in Ben Simmons. 208 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: I don't know who he is when I get him. 209 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: And he said, I go back to college. When I 210 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: saw him in his one year at LSU, I said, 211 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: I think he's shooting him with a wrong hand. And 212 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: I was sort of joking, but I wasn't because I thought, 213 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: how does somebody not help something? You see somebody who 214 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: has that much talent, and then you look at that 215 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: shot and then you go, ooh, you know what, how 216 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: about we spend some time in the lab here? But 217 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: it hasn't gotten better. Lonzo Ball has made himself a 218 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: better player, but he worked at making himself a better player, 219 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: and he had that hesitancy. He didn't want to shoot. 220 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: He was nervous on the perimeter. You could see him. 221 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: It'd be like a wide open eighteen footer and You're like, 222 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw it over here, And you can't compare 223 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons to Wilt Chamberlain. Completely different era. I mean 224 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: and Will it was average, Wilt average fifty a game 225 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: one one season. And yes, I know he led the 226 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: league in every statistical category at some point in his career, 227 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: including assist. Yes. Yeah, maybe there's a comparison with Jannis. 228 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: He couldn't hit his free throws. He got cold in 229 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: the postseason, but then he figured it out. Yeah, Yannis 230 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: still has to improve. Lebron is not a knockdown, clutch 231 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: time free throw shooter. It happens. I don't like Lebron's form, 232 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: h Luca. You would think being that good a shooter 233 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: should be a better But you get to the line, 234 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: there's no movement, nobody's saying anything, or you might be 235 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: on the road and they are saying a lot of 236 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: things to you. You know, it's it's not normal because 237 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: in the flow of a game, you don't think like that. 238 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: You get to line, you're like a three dribbles due 239 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: to too and you know it's it's a little bit different. 240 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: It plays tricks with you, at least it does with 241 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: some of these players. Yeah, you can even compare him 242 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: a little apples and oranges to Zion Williamson coming out 243 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: of college. Zion only took thirty threes last year in 244 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: sixty games. He really hasn't tried the three. But Zion 245 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: average twenty seven points per game last year basically playing 246 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: the post and distributing, and Zion's free throws went up 247 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: from sixty four percent to seventy percent in one year. 248 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: He's not even twenty one yet. And he doesn't have 249 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: a jump shot. So one of the greatest leapers in 250 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: the game does not have a jump shot. Has a 251 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: set shot and and it's and it's not a bad 252 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: looking set shot, but he doesn't have a jumper. He 253 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: has nice form. Yeah, mcclub. At least we know he's 254 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: shooting with the right hand. Yes, the left is real lefty. Yeah, yes, 255 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: his correct hand is his left hand. But you know, 256 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: his job. He wants to get in the paint. His uh, 257 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, put back points, second chance points, you know, 258 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: lead the NBA. But he's not afraid to get to 259 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: the free throw line. But you have to if you're 260 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: gonna have the ball, and you're gonna have the ball 261 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: majority of the time, you have to be a seventy 262 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: five percent free throw shooter. You just have to be. 263 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: But Ben Simmons, I think he needs to disappear whereas 264 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: games aren't on national TV, where he's not playing in 265 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: big games right now, because I don't think he's ready 266 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: for But if I could get him and I don't 267 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: have to give up as much as the seventy six 268 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: ers won, I'd certainly look into that absolutely. I just 269 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: don't want him to get into a situation where he 270 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: ends up with like the Cavaliers or something. You're gonna 271 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, he'll get bad habits in some of these 272 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: other places as well, but he does need to go 273 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: where the spotlight is just not as bright. Take a break. 274 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: We'll come back after this. Get to your phone calls. 275 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: Are we going to change our pole question?

He's a columnist and he had a 302 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: tweet yesterday that said Ben Simmons says he's going to 303 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: treat training camp and the regular season just like he 304 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: treats the playoffs. He ain't showing up. Oh what's called? 305 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: He goes on to say, let him sit, let him 306 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: lose the money. The Sixers can win without Simmons. Somebody 307 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: has to finally stand up to these players renegging on 308 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: their contracts. That's Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquire. Yes, mclovin. Yeah, 309 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: Philly is not like Ben Simmons. Yeah, they're mad at him. 310 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: I think, so why are we surprised that he doesn't 311 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: want to stay there? Now? What happened first? That they 312 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: turned on Ben? Or Ben turned on them. He's not 313 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: good in that system, That's what happened first. He's just 314 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: not It doesn't accentuate his talent. Okay, But did he 315 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: go out and say, hey, I want out of here, 316 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna play poorly. I just think he lost confidence. Therefore, 317 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: on a big stage it was exacerbated, and you know, 318 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't take long for the Philly fans to turn 319 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: on you. Yeah, Paul, is there a better way to 320 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: get traded for from a team? Remember Deshaun Watson before 321 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: the accusations, he wanted out and he announced it. It 322 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: got out. James Harden, it seemed like he basically shut 323 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 1: down last year and wouldn't play well. Harden quit, Yes, yeah, 324 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: he quit. That's why I said you can't be MVP. 325 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: But it worked out for him. He got to go 326 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: where he wanted to. Yeah, if you're Ben Simmons, can 327 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: you keep quiet, don't leak it and go in and 328 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: talk to management or not possible? Well I maybe did that. 329 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 1: Maybe he said, like, you know, nobody was backing me up. 330 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess his agent probably said, hey, like 331 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: to Darryl Moorey the GM, like nobody's backing my guy, 332 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: and you still want him? Do you really want him? 333 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,680 Speaker 1: And plus, can you dictate where you want to go? 334 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,239 Speaker 1: James Harden want to go to the nets? And then 335 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: they actu ask and send him to the nets you know, 336 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: for horrible deal. But I don't know if Ben Simmons 337 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: has that cache where he can say I want out 338 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: and this is where I want to go. You might 339 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: just say Hey, I want out, and then you have 340 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: to you're gonna dictate to him where we're gonna send you. Yeah, 341 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm mclub. I was wondering if, like Rich Paul, his 342 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: agent is actually calling teams like the Calves and the 343 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Rocks as saying, do not trade for this guy because 344 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: we will not cooperate, or something like if there's like 345 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: behind the scenes stuff, sure, because he sure Wasn't there 346 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: a report that he wants to go to that Ben 347 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: wants to go to LA? Yeah? Where's he going to 348 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: play in LA? Is there a third team in LA 349 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 1: that I don't know about? Because I don't know if. Hey, 350 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna put him on the Lakers, and so 351 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: I got two ball dominant guy, I got Lebron and 352 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: I got Russell Russell Westbrook. No, I don't think that's 353 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: gonna work. Yes, mc well, Sacramentos in California, it's basically 354 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: the same. No, No, it's not, Hey, Ben, we're gonna 355 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: be trading Utu to California a super well stick around 356 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: for the Pas, the Warriors, No Lakers, no, okay, Clippers, 357 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: no Kings. Yeah, yes, no offense? Yeah, how's that going 358 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: to go over? Okay? If you could trade for Ben 359 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: Simmons or Deshaun Watson. Who would you trade for? Like 360 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, we don't know what's going to happen. It's 361 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: off the field. On the field, he's one of the 362 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: top three quarterbacks. Probably Ben has on the court issues. 363 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: It feels like the off the field issues will eventually 364 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: be solved. I don't know if Ben's on the court 365 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: issues will eventually be solved, and they're probably about this 366 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: same age. I think DeShawn Watson would be tough to 367 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: sell as my quarterback. I wouldn't trade for him. I 368 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: understand the talent, but I also have to at some 369 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: point say, nah, I don't think so. I think I'm 370 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: gonna pass on that pr nightmare Ben. I trade for him. 371 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: The question is how much am I giving up? And 372 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: can he be in on a roster that sort of 373 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: insulates him that that would be the key for me. 374 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: Dustin and Arkansas joints us Hey Dustin, what's on your mind? 375 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: Hey dpum First Time Long Time six four two eighty five, 376 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: She said a question, is it too late to teach 377 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons to go? With the other hand, like if 378 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 1: you used to take a quarterback, say he got hurt, 379 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: and could you teach him to throw with the other hand? 380 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: Is it is it too late in the game to 381 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: do that. I don't play basketball. I was a football guy, 382 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: so yes, it would it would be too late, thank you, Dustin. 383 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: In today's NBA, where you're shooting threes, they're been players 384 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: who can shoot with both hands. But if you're going 385 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: to shoot distance, that would be pretty tough to ask 386 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: him to do. But I do think that there's certain drills. 387 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: There are some really good shooting coaches out there. The 388 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: question is does he want to put in the time 389 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: to understand how to shoot? And if I was Ben Simmons, 390 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: and I could get with Ray Allen or Reggie Miller, 391 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: guys that put in the time. And I mean, but 392 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: there are also guys who weren't NBA players who are 393 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: really good shooting coaches. And I've been around two of them. 394 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: Because I'm still trying to perfect my shot. And I'm 395 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: sixty five and I'm right handed, and I'm a better 396 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: shooter than Ben Simmons is. But you know, a shooter 397 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: never stops wanting to be great, greater Steph Curry. He 398 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: wants to be perfect. Steph Curry has a drill, free 399 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: throw drill that he has to shoot it where it 400 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: doesn't touch rim, it just touches net. He has to 401 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: make certain number in a row. He's looking for perfection. 402 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons has to have that quest at thirst. It says, 403 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: I want to be great. I don't want to be 404 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: just good. I want to be great. I want to 405 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: be a great all around player. I want to be 406 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: a great shooter. I want to be a knockdown shooter. 407 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: I want to be able to make free throws. Seventy 408 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: five percent of him, like, those are the things. That's it. 409 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: He does the other things well, but learning how to 410 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: shoot and how somebody did not teach him how to shoot. 411 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: If I saw somebody with that much talent and I went, 412 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, he's good defender and rebound, a really good 413 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: passer and we can't shoot though, I'd be like, well, 414 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: let's let's make him a better shooter. How about we 415 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: do that. But I don't know Ben Simmons. I don't know. 416 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: Maybe we had him on once, but I don't know 417 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: how hard he works. When you post videos that tell 418 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: me working hard, I get nervous because that feels like, hey, hey, 419 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: Ben's working hard. I don't know if he is. He 420 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: just sent out one video. It's like Fritzie. If Fritzie 421 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: goes back and lifts weights for about seven minutes, but 422 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: he sent out a video, people would go, man, Fritzie 423 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: getting in shape. But that's you're doing thirty seconds of 424 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, curls. Yeah, yeah, point. But we will never 425 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: know if Ben Simmons is a hard working athlete or not, 426 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: because the Sixers wouldn't tell you while he's still a Sixer. 427 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: And when he leaves, it'll sound like sour grapes. Well, 428 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: he never worked hard when he get when he was here, 429 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: Why don't we know that when he was actually on 430 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: the team, it'll sound like sour grapes. All right, we'll 431 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: get phone calls, more phone calls here, and mclovin hasn't 432 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: against the grain? Do you want to do this against 433 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: the Green? Yes, And there's one reason you might not 434 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: like this because it's not any good. No, no, not 435 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: that reason, no, no, no, that's that ships a long time. Okay, 436 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: But what's the theme of you're against the grape? These 437 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: are two random players we should be paying attention to, 438 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: and we're not. Okay, the first one, the reason you 439 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't like it. See if you can guess right, it's 440 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: a I'll give you the position, A quarterback that we 441 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: should be talking about more, but for some reason we're not. 442 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: Sam Donald That's a good one. But no, okay, yes 443 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm going obvious. Andy Dalton, No, I talk about him 444 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: every day. You told me to stop talking about him. Yes, 445 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: they did. Jimmy Garoppolo, No, no, that's ane. By the way, 446 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: You're you're playing in the right uh playground right now. 447 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: He is the Denver broadcast water And we're now talking 448 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: about Teddy Bridgewater because we find Todd's Bronco's fandom annoying. 449 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: Because Teddy Bridgewater is on fire right now. He is 450 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: arguably on the top two or three quarterbacks in the 451 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: league so far. Okay, well, I mean he played Jacksonville. No, 452 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean his performance of right think, Look, I can't 453 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: I love Teddy, love his story, but I don't think 454 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: he's a more key quarterback. But remember what he was 455 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: a rookie and then he looked like he was developing 456 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,920 Speaker 1: that way. Then he had this terrible injury. Maybe he's 457 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: back to that. He's gonna play seventy eight percent of 458 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: his passes I know he did this when he filled 459 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: in in New Orleans. He won five games, beat Seattle 460 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: and Seattle No, I get it, but I mean Teddy Bridgewater, congratulations. 461 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: I think they played the Jets this week, so he's 462 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: gonna have another, probably another good game. Okay. The other guy, 463 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: this is even more random. He's a wide receiver who's 464 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: been seemingly on every team in the league. You won't 465 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: even know what team he is on. But I caught 466 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: him the other day and I'm like, well, this guy 467 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: is shockingly good. There's no way to guess. Or Darrel Patterson. No, yeah, 468 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, Oh no, I love Emmanuel Sanders, but and 469 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: he probably is good somewhere. But no, Okay, how about 470 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: Houston Texans wide receiver Brandon Cooks. He's on fire so 471 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: far this year. He's second the league in receiving yards. 472 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: I watched the texts the other day. He blows by 473 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: his man, He's opened by fifteen yards and Davis Mill 474 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: throws the ball completely in a different direction. He's like that. 475 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: He's having like a little Pro Bowl season him. Now 476 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: trade him? Now? Yeah? Trade him? Like Brandon Cooks, hasn't 477 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: he been around for like he's twenty seven. I feel 478 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: like he's played on nine different teams, but I watched 479 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: him the other day. I'm like, well, Brandon Cooks is 480 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: really good. That's it. That's all I got.

Did you get the number of that milk 490 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: truck that I just got hit by? I'm calling Peter 491 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: on the people of Wisconsin because you can't do lions 492 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: like that. Trying to stop Aaron Rodgers is like stopping 493 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: mclovin from telling you what school he went to, a 494 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: stopping Seaton, stopping Fritz from getting ahold of that piece 495 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: of part. That's what I'm talking about. It's just really really, 496 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: really really bad. The one thing that I'm want to 497 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: ask you though, then, is this with the great product, 498 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: the great games? I mean, you got even close games 499 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,640 Speaker 1: at the NFL, you know that has it? Got the Chargers, 500 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: you have the Giants, you have all of these great 501 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: teams that are doing so wonderful. Why would you muddy 502 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: the waters with this tawny rule? And it's kind of 503 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: funny because it comes right around the time that you're 504 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: married to like betting and wagering. Now, so I can, 505 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: you know, make a better whatever and outcomes the laundry 506 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: because I have an emotional outbreak against the god and 507 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: going against at its essence and give me if I'm 508 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: wrong at its essence. Isn't the NFL adversarial type of sport. 509 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: Don't you go against each other and talk trash all 510 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: game and then when I get the best of you, 511 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: You're going to penalize me. Yeah, But they just don't 512 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: want retaliation either now or down the road. You know, 513 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: baseball has this where somebody gets hit and then you 514 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: don't see that team for a couple of months, and 515 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: then they come to town and then there's retaliatory retaliatory 516 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: measures that are taken. The NFL doesn't want that. I 517 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: don't know if we've seen that before that would lead 518 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: us to this point. I just didn't know there was 519 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: a ground swell for the anti taunting portion of the program. 520 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: Sean and Oregon. Hey, Sean, Dan, there's a difference between 521 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: celebrating and tawny, and they need to put it down 522 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: in black and white, I guess. But I believe that 523 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: the players should treat each other with a little respect 524 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: and uh for your opponent, and they should leave the 525 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: tawny to the fans. And I'd like to see the 526 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: coaches do the tawny. That won't go well either, Sean. 527 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: We've we've seen a coach get involved with a player 528 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. With the Chiefs and the Browns. We 529 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: we we don't need that. Yeah, seton. We could very 530 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: easily make the argument too that fans feel a little 531 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: too comfortable taunting players. They have. There's been a lot 532 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: of incidents where that may be overstepped a bit. Yeah, Yeah, 533 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: there's decades of that. Yes, boys, remember idea a few 534 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: years ago that one player in every league gets to 535 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: go in the stands and takes care of a fan. 536 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: You don't know who's going to be from week to 537 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: week once a year though.

Yeah, Paul, I've got a 607 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: question for you. I've been sitting on this one for 608 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: about nine years. If your daughter, and I'm not there yet, 609 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,959 Speaker 1: if your daughter has a new boyfriend that you don't 610 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: really care for, do you let it be known you 611 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: you don't care for them, or do you hold back? 612 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: Because I think the psychology business, if you let the 613 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: daughter know you don't like them, that kid could be 614 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: more attractive to the daughter. You know, like to defy 615 00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: dad is our policy? There our strategy. I've experienced this 616 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: before without mentioning any names. But you you just you 617 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: embrace who your daughter likes, even if I don't like 618 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: the guy who showed up on a motorcycle without a 619 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: helmet on, and then wanted my daughter to get on 620 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: the motorcycle without a helmet. And then I said, you 621 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: you're not going to get on that motorcycle. Now. If 622 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: he comes back with a car, then you know, then 623 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: you can go on, but you're not getting on motorcycle. 624 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,919 Speaker 1: You're just not. She dumped him soon after. We called 625 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: him Speccoli because he looked like Speccoli from Fast Times 626 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: at Ridgemont High. And my daughter goes, Dad, who is Speccoli? 627 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: And I go Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Sean Penn 628 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: watch it And then she watched it and she goes, 629 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: oh my god, that wasn't a compliment. I go Sparccoli 630 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 1: had some nice qualities about him. But it's if you 631 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: say you can't or don't or you shouldn't, then sometimes 632 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 1: they will go the other way. But you just if 633 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: if you have raised them right, That's what my wife 634 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: always says, if you if we've done our job, then 635 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 1: then they'll pick the right person.

Phil in Indiana, joins 697 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: us Phil, Good morning, what's on your mind? Dan? Always 698 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: a great pleasure to be with you. By the way, 699 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: yesterday you were talking about which dan at would probably 700 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: be best in prison. I can tell you Mcloven probably 701 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't last fifteen minutes as annoying as he is in prison. 702 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: But I thought that was a pretty interesting poll. But 703 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: on Ben Simmons, if you're a GM, a savvy GM, 704 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: why would you ever leverage your franchise to trade to 705 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: get this guy, especially when he's going to be making 706 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: ninety plus million over the next three years. And then 707 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 1: the other part of this, Dan is I think the 708 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: ceiling is as high as it's ever going to get 709 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: for that guy. I don't believe he's ever going to 710 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: get better than he is right now, and so I 711 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: wanted to get your thoughts on that. Always a pleasure, Dan, 712 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: Have a great rest of the week. Thank you, Phil. 713 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 1: Thank you. Depends on what I have to give up 714 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: to get him. You know, he does cost a lot 715 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: of money, but it feels like everybody in the NBA 716 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 1: call I mean, John Wall makes forty two million dollars, 717 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 1: So if I'm paying Ben Simmons thirty million, you might go, guy, 718 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: you're paying him thirty million. Well, that's just the salary cap. 719 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: Everybody's getting quarterback money in the NBA. But do I 720 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: want Ben Simmons? If you said I could make a trade, 721 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,239 Speaker 1: Let's say I threw out James not to Philly. Would 722 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: do this, Draymond Green and James Wiseman for Ben Simmons. 723 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: Not that Philly would do it, But I'm just saying, 724 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: if you if you had something like that where I'm 725 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm Golden State, I would do that. I'd do that 726 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. Yeah, I'm club. I think Philly would 727 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: do that. I was kind of well thought of he is, 728 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: but I don't know if he's well thought of with 729 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: you have Joe lmbad. I just don't know how he 730 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: fits in with what they want to do. But you know, 731 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: Draymond Green gives you that veteran leadership toughness there. But 732 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, there's only a couple of places where I 733 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: see it happening. Either he has to disappear off the 734 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: NBA map and play for a team that's never on 735 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: national TV, or have him go to a contender where 736 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: he doesn't have to be the star that there's three stars. 737 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: Now Golden State has people Philadelphia he had to be 738 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: one of those stars, and he didn't know how to 739 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: act that way. He wasn't consistent. Yea, why does Ben 740 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: Simmons fit Golden State? Because he would be a rebounder, defender, 741 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,320 Speaker 1: and he would be a passer. They have their shooters, 742 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's I think he could learn from Steph 743 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: Curry and Clay Thompson on how to be a professional 744 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,399 Speaker 1: shooter or at least improve. But he'd be a younger 745 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: version of Draymond Green with rebounding and playing defense and 746 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: passing yample. What if the Sixers just said we're gonna 747 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna play without him for a while, just just 748 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,320 Speaker 1: not trade him and leave him in limbo and be 749 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: difficult about would an owner ever do that and just say, 750 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,880 Speaker 1: let's see what our team is like without him and 751 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 1: see how well we do and then trade him mid season. 752 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,359 Speaker 1: Well it might be, you know, camp starts next week, 753 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 1: but maybe you could take advantage of a team having 754 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: an injury down the road, or But I don't think Ben, 755 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine, you know, like Philadelphia gonna 756 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: be embracing him. If if Opening night and I'd guard 757 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: of LSU Ben Simmons, and then how are they going 758 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: to react or you have him on the bench and 759 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: he doesn't play Paul and Iowa, Hi, Paul, Hey, guys, hey, guys. Well, 760 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 1: you know we've seen somebody escape the process when the 761 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,040 Speaker 1: process and doc rivers were not working for them, and 762 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 1: that's Marquel Foltz, who just finished his second season in 763 00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 1: Orlando and he was shooting forty seven percent from the field. 764 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,040 Speaker 1: So there, I think you're right. I know you're big 765 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: on the kings with this, but I believe that you're 766 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 1: absolutely right. Ben Simmons needs to escape from the limelight, 767 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 1: whether it's what he wants or not. He needs to 768 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: not go to a big city. He needs to go 769 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: somewhere he can just refine himself for a few years, 770 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 1: because he's young enough to reinvent his shot and come 771 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 1: back stronger if he gets traded to somewhere Ramo. At 772 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: least with markl Foltz, he had an injury and then 773 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: developed the yips. Ben Simmons hasn't had an injury. Mark 774 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: el Foltz had a reason why he had to rehabilitate 775 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 1: his shot. Big difference there.
