Speaker 2: Rob G.

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: It's so funny, said you hear hit me with the

37
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: news of the day.

38
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: As long as you don't say set the table, move

39
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: the lawn, park the car, or anything like that.

40
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: Nothing like that. We're okay. This is racist. Would Rob

41
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: G set the table? That's thank you. I appreciate that.

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: It's not like I threw you my call keys.

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 4: So the big news of the day on early Friday morning,

44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 4: this is kind of a bomb shell across the NBA,

45
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: not necessarily that it happened, but the timing of which

46
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: that happened.

47
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Because the NBA drafts is a better place.

48
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And the Toronto Raptors were picking ninth overall,

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: they got a guy that a lot of people like,

50
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: and yet on Friday, they've decided to move on from

51
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 4: mesaiyu Jerry as the vice chairman and president of Basketball

52
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 4: Ops after thirteen seasons with the Toronto Raptors. Lets we forget.

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: Between twenty fifteen and twenty twenty, the Raptors won fifty

54
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: plus games basically every season. They want at least a

55
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: playoff round every season. And the highlight, of course, came

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 4: in twenty nineteen when masaiyu Jerry put all his eggs

57
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: in the basket of Kawhi Leonard, trading away a fan favorite,

58
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: a beloved franchise superstar in Damar DeRozan, with no guarantee

59
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: that Kawhi was gonna stick around. He wins the championship.

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: Kawhi doesn't stick around, but hey, all that matters.

61
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: They got the hardware.

62
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: Well, listen, I'm gonna a couple of ways I want

63
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: to approach this. Number one I'm gonna start with before

64
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: we dive deep into out of his tenure, his resume.

65
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think we overrate when things happen or we overstate,

66
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: and I think sometimes it's just it's it's what.

67
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: We do in media.

68
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: I can't believe they would do that. They should have

69
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: did that, they should have never done it. Sometimes I go, oh,

70
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: but that just makes sense and it's okay. And sometimes

71
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: it's just okay for parting to happen. And I mentioned

72
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: this with if Giannis were to say, hey man, he

73
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: just flat out came out, was like, hey man, I'm

74
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: just ready to move on. I don't think fans should

75
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: go out there burn jerseys. I don't think fans should

76
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: be mad. I don't think that should hate him. I think

77
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: jad Man, he gave us ten to eleven great years.

78
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: We got a ring, We were relevant, you know what

79
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean. We have We had some good playoff runs.

80
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: We saw him grow from a literal band be just

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: this gangly athletic guy to a full fledged man with

82
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: the family and and and he wants to move on,

83
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: no hard feelings. We're gonna cheer when he comes back

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: the first five minutes, We're gonna boo the rest of

85
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: the game like they should and not be that. Yep,

86
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: And every now and again, the sports to me, there's

87
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: no oh, I can't believe that or this that you know,

88
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: it has to be bad because when you look at

89
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: what Massa I was able to do, if you kind

90
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: of split the difference of the thirteen years six and

91
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: a half, if you want to go six or seven.

92
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: You just mentioned the first half of that run, awesome

93
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: was really good. And when you look at what he

94
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: was able to do. If it weren't for the they

95
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: weren't the Lebronto Raptors, they.

96
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: Might have messed around.

97
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: I had a couple of rings, but Lebron was licking

98
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: at shops anytime in the NBA. In the NBA playoffs,

99
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: he was like, all right, we gotta go here we

100
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: got and he saw the Raptors. It was I mean,

101
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: it was laughable what he would do to they win

102
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: fifty games, they'd be the number one seed or two seeds,

103
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: and they mean, you know, have these really good seasons.

104
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry was great and Demarta Rosen was great.

105
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: They have these really nice teams, and Kyle and Demarta

106
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: rows has talked about He's I mean, I really believe

107
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: we had a chance to win a couple of championship

108
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: or be at least in the finals if it weren't

109
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: for Lebron Well.

110
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: One time he even said, if we had Lebron James,

111
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: we would I'm like, well, you know what, WHOA yeah,

112
00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: I don't know if I went that far.

113
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: I mean not saying you wouldn't have, but he said,

114
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: if there's some things as a competitor, you don't.

115
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: Say, well, even though you're right, right, right exactly, even

116
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: though you're right, you just don't say it exact. But

117
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: I say that to say he started off pretty hot

118
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: with him, right, you're winning, You're making a team up

119
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: above the border really good.

120
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: The fan base is loving it. Executive of the Year

121
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: his first season.

122
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: Executive the lear And I'm not even trying to be

123
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: funny now that he's kind of persona non grata, but

124
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: you got Drake involved, Drake's there.

125
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: It's just it was a winning environment.

126
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: It became cool and absolutely became we the North became cool.

127
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: You got Drake, Jurassic Park outside the arena.

128
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it just became a place to be and a

129
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: place to be seen. As far as for the folks

130
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: in Toronto, they're winning a bunch of games. Then your

131
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: culmination with twenty nineteen, you get Kawhi, We're all like, oh,

132
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: Kawhi away from the Spurs. Usually the Spurs guys stick,

133
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: they stay right Tony Parker stays for until the end,

134
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: but Gennoble and Tim Duncan and David Robinson, all these

135
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: guys stay. And oh wow, we got a guy who's

136
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: left left on kind of some maybe shakier bad terms

137
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: and he comes to the Toronto Raptors and he plays well,

138
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: they win a championship. Well, the second half hasn't been great,

139
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: and initially the first portion of it you thought, oh, okay,

140
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: they're about to do this, and I see the moves.

141
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta rebuild and restructure and yeah, just give

142
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: him some time. He's gonna do it again. And he didn't,

143
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: and he didn't perform at his profession. The team has

144
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: been bad to really bad. They made some bad and

145
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you kind of rock with the moves

146
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: that they he's be more specific with the moves, but

147
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: he's made some terrible decisions, some terrible signing, some terrible

148
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: trades and bad moves. And it's just okay to say

149
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: we had a good run. You had overall, you had

150
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: a solid tenure, you got as erring, you made this

151
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: relevant now we're trying to move on, and I do

152
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: think rob g they said, uh, just in case there's

153
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: any more aside magic, we're gonna let him do this

154
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: draft real quick.

155
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: Just a case he pulls.

156
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: One more magical well, they're gonna have him do that,

157
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: all right, make sure we get all the magic out

158
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: of him before we let him go. And last thing

159
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I'll say for a TSKS to you and also people

160
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: why he's so beloved.

161
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: He seemed like a great human, seemed like a great guy.

162
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: People there respect him, People around the NBA community respect him,

163
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 1: and people around the world because the other great stuff

164
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: that he was doing for basketball in Africa. If you

165
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: don't know, he was a massive ambassador for the league

166
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: with the NBA Africa and the stuff they were doing

167
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: there that he went out and got Pascal Siakamaka. It

168
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: just was a great guy. And he had Sergey Baka

169
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: there as well when they won the championship run and

170
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: he was an ambassador for the league and so he

171
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: had a really good tenure the first you know, six seven,

172
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 1: maybe even eight years of his thirteen year years there

173
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: and it's time to move on. And to me again,

174
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: this doesn't have to be bad they don't have to

175
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: be the bad raptors.

176
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: They're horrible frame why would they do that? That's wrong.

177
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: It's just time for them to move on.

178
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: Time to him to move on, and by all means

179
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: he'll probably land somewhere and do good things again.

180
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was graded his job to start off with,

181
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 4: and by all accounts is just a great guy, like

182
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 4: a great human being. Nobody has anything but positive things

183
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: to say about the side of year. Now have he

184
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: said that with all due respect, which means something super

185
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: disrespectful was going to follow super discs respect? My man

186
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: deserves to get fired, all right. Since that twenty nineteen championship.

187
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: Here's the list of the moves that Messiah Jerry has

188
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 4: made basking in that championship glow. He trades away Norm

189
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 4: Powell for Rodney Hood and Gary.

190
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: Trent Junior is a really good player.

191
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: He trades away Kyle Lowry for Goren Dragic and Precious

192
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: a Chua, which they had to attach a first round

193
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: pick later to get off the Dragia contract.

194
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: Ooh okay.

195
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: He trades a package including the number eight pick for

196
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: Yaka Perle, who is just a guy. He trades away

197
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: Dennis Shrewder and Thad Young for Spencer Dinwiddie, who eventually

198
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: had to get bought out because he was that bad,

199
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: you know, in his latest NBA.

200
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: Steps, this is the worst one for me.

201
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: Trades away Pascal Siakam for Bruce Brown and three late

202
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: first round picks, none of which have amounted to anything.

203
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: And of course you recall when Pascal gots Indiana, he

204
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 4: said famously during his press conference, I was just in

205
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: a bad place. It was a dark time, and I'm

206
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: just really excited to be out of there.

207
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:00,119
Speaker 2: Okay.

208
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 4: He trades away a first round pick for Kelly Olynyk.

209
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would have done that one.

210
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 4: He trades away og Anna Nube Ananobi for RJ Barret

211
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: and man Quickly. Now, if you want to say on talent,

212
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: that's not a bad.

213
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: Tilege, yeah, I get that.

214
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 4: The problem is when you look at their contracts of RJ.

215
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: Barry and Emanual Quickly and what they had to give them,

216
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 4: You're like, you know what, I kind of would rather

217
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: have og at forty five than these two guys at

218
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 4: seventy five.

219
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: That's just me.

220
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: They trade away Bruce Brown had a first round pick

221
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: for the rights to overpay Brandon Ingram because nobody decided

222
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: they wanted to give brandon Ingram maxim money. He's like, hey,

223
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: I'll do it. That's not to mention they lost Fred

224
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 4: van Vliet for nothing. They lost Kawhi Leonard Ford, which

225
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: they got championship. Will let that one slide. But you

226
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 4: look at their team moving forward. They've had two winning

227
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 4: seasons since twenty nineteen. In the last five years, their

228
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 4: record is one seventy one and two twenty nine just

229
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 4: this year and moving forward, they have one hundred and

230
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: forty five million dollars in salary for Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram, R. J. Barrett,

231
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: and Manual Quickly and Yaka Pearl. That group, as we've

232
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: seen Ingram just got there, sucks in the Eastern Conference.

233
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 4: They are a below five hundred team in the worst conference.

234
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: So why on earth again? Him being a good guy,

235
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: him winning early on in his tenure, that stuff to

236
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: be commended. But sports, you don't live in the past.

237
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 4: He lost his fastball. The same thing is happening right

238
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 4: now to Pat Riley. The difference is Mickey Harrison and

239
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 4: those guys don't have the stones to say, you know what, Pat,

240
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: what you're doing is not working. Heat culture at this

241
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 4: point is kind of become a myth. Let's move on

242
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: and let's do something else. Credit to the Toronto Raptors,

243
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 4: their new ownership group decided, Messiah did some great things.

244
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: You're a good guy. We're gonna send you out a date.

245
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: We're even unless you make this last pick. But we

246
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: got to move on because they're just not working no more.

247
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: A couple things to add to that. One part that

248
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: makes me laugh is the last group you just named.

249
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna mess around and be of like sixth seed in.

250
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: The East's because he sucks.

251
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: He sucks, but also there is some talent there, so

252
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna be mad wherever he is somewhere and he

253
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: go like, naggot.

254
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: Not they bawling now they brandon Ingram out here looking good? RJ.

255
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: Barrett quickly, all you know a handful of other guys

256
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be looking at Scottie Barnes. I mean, they

257
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: got they've got some They've got guys on paper, they

258
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: have talent. They have talent, and if they mess around

259
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: and put it together, it's gonna be so hilarious that,

260
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: like this team makes it to the conference Semis and

261
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: he's gone, that's gonna make me laugh there.

262
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: But a couple of other things that happening around the

263
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 2: NBA right now, rob Gie.

264
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: You're having new ownership groups that are buying out teams,

265
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: getting ready to buy the Celtics out. We see what

266
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: happened with the Lakers. We're here Minnesota, recent signs, the Suns.

267
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: These new ownership groups are coming in and you know

268
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: the Mavericks, Yep, they're coming in and they're saying, Uh,

269
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: we're changing house. We're getting rid of gms, We're getting

270
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: rid of coaches. We're seeing package deals where GM and

271
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: coaches going. At the same time, we're seeing the transition

272
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: in the NBA to powerful ownership, not so much mom

273
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: and pops or not so much the old brigade. We're

274
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: getting new people and I think their viewing the NBA

275
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: and they're saying, Uh, this thing is wide open right now.

276
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: This is a seventh year in a row with a

277
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: new champion, and why not us? And part of the

278
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: why not us is we gotta shape this thing up

279
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: right now. We got an opportunity to win right now.

280
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: There's no bohemoth sitting in the NBA right now. There's

281
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: no Heatles where you're like, oh, good luck, like like

282
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: like Toronto or some other teams are gonna have to

283
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 1: go through in the East, then, right, dude, kidding me.

284
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: We gotta get through the Big three in Boston and

285
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: then try to get through the Heatles.

286
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: This ain't gonn work. There's none of that.

287
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: There's no Katie Led with Stephan the Warriors, none of

288
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: that sitting there. There's no shocking Kobe in the West

289
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: ree life, good luck. It's only you know, only gonna

290
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: be like them are the Spurs that get through for

291
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: a handful of years. There's none of that. And I

292
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: think these new ownerships are coming in season trying to

293
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: change things up, trying to switch it up and say, man,

294
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: we can win now, especially if you're in the East.

295
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: Because who's a preifitive favorite? Is it Cleveland? Do you

296
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: buy that? I mean, it has to be clear this click,

297
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: but do you buy it they're the favorite to be

298
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: the number one seed? I don't know they're the favorite.

299
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

300
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: They just beat the Pistons. Don't know that they just

301
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: beat Orlando. I don't know they just beat coach.

302
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: The Knicks don't have a coach. It's crazy work. By

303
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: the way, they did a whole draft without a coach.

304
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 2: Tom Thibodeau sitting somewhere.

305
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 4: Like I saw him line they said, they do the

306
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 4: Costanza where he just shows back up like oh, we

307
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,479
Speaker 4: didn't actually.

308
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: You know what, he might just want to pop up

309
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: like hey, you know, walk past the front desk like hey, Cindy,

310
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: how you doing.

311
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,680

331
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think what I and or I've been

332
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 5: watching recently on Disney Plus that's pretty good.

333
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 4: The Bear, you know, I've been watching. I've watched every

334
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 4: episode of The Bear, and I still don't know if

335
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 4: I like it or.

336
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I'm actually in the exact same boat.

337
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: I'm still kind of undecided. And it's on season four.

338
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: After season one and a half, ish, I got enough,

339
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: all right, So I never want to be in a kitchen.

340
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: It's intense. It's a lot. I do like Chicago. Oh,

341
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: I do want to go get some Italians up.

342
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm out.

343
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 5: Like everyone says that season one is like where it

344
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 5: was actually special, Like lead to Laugh was saying this

345
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: to me the other day, and to me, it's like,

346
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 5: I'm still at the point where I don't know if

347
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 5: I like the show.

348
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: That's all you need it. Sometimes shows go to Narcos.

349
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: I didn't need Narcos eight. Right after Pablo maybe season

350
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: three I was good. I didn't need Narcos. You know,

351
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: some shows don't know when to stop. But it's hard

352
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: when to stop. You know what I mean, sometimes it's

353
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: okay to be a two season show. You don't have

354
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: to go that far.

355
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: Well to your point, I'm also one of the people

356
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: not watching Love Island.

357
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 4: Not because I don't want to, but because one of

358
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: the only things that my wife and I these days

359
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,840

Speaker 2: You'll get to it, So we're gonna get to it.

362
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: You you wouldn't, but I like all of the Love

Speaker 2: is Blind, all those one you would be in on that. Yeah.

364
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: And the best part about it is you're gonna blame

365
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: it on your wife, you know, man, It's just it's

366
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: her night for the TV.

367

441
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: Star Now and then the WNBA, and she had some

442
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: things to say about kind of the crew and just

443
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: some of the coverage that Caitlyn Clark is getting after

444
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: she's now injured again. Gonna be down a little bit

445
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: after she's come back from her injury. Here's what Page

446
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: had to say.

447
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 8: She handles it with grace and the pressure that she's

448
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 8: put on every single night's perform at the level that

449
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 8: she does. It's inhumane, really like to expect people to

450
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 8: be perfect and to not have off games or off nights.

451
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 8: And if something's if she doesn't go like eight for

452
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 8: ten from three, like people are questioning things, it's just

453
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 8: it's unfair to have to do with them, all right.

454
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 2: A couple things for me, Robbie.

455
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: When I hear that, and initially I thought about that,

456
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: I think you and I agree on one thing.

457
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: Page I love you, but you got to stop it

458
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: on one end.

459
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: Kaitlyn Clark, the bad coverage is so minimal in comparison

460
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: to others. Maybe we don't necessarily hear that. And most

461
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: of the time to cover conversations I hear or we

462
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: have is about her being pushed around.

463
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: Everybody's mad at everybody else.

464
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: So I when I heard that, I'm like, okay, So

465
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: I took it as ROGI more so the microscope she's

466
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: under as a whole, meaning she's observed everything she does left, right,

467
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: go up, go down, shoot this shot, make that shot.

468
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: I push somebody, somebody push me. It's covered. It's covered.

469
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: It's covered, it's covered. That's covered. She's covered like no

470
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: WNBA star we've ever seen where everything is covered. And again,

471
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: whether she's the one who was the pusher or the pushy,

472
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 1: it's covered. So I think she was kind of saying that.

473
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: But overall, what I took away from that, more than anything,

474
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: Page Beckers to me, is kind of the conscious that

475
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people were wanting from Caitlin Clark during

476
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: the during her college days. Speak up about this, speak

477
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: up about that, speak on this, and now in the

478
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: WNBA where they want her to speak up with so

479
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: many issues, whether it be affecting the WNBA as a

480
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: whole or in society as much as a whole as well.

481
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: Page Beckers on the SB stage speaks up, I'm behind,

482
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: you know, on the backs of so many black women.

483
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 1: You know how many people would never say that, or

484
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: at least say it publicly. They might say that the teammates,

485
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: very few. She said it publicly at a massive stage

486
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: when it was about her, You're winning this award. She

487
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: speaks up, I stand on the backs of so many

488
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: black women. She stands up for her teammates regularly. Here

489
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: she's speaking up for Caitlyn Clark. Who is you know,

490
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: arrival If you will competitor appear in the in the NBA.

491
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: They were supposed to play each other tonight exactly they're

492
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Everybody's looking to see the last two

493
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: number one picks go at it, and we're running short

494
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: of time. So I'll just say I just thought, and

495
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: I continue to see her say this, young lady. And

496
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: recently the last couple of weeks, there was a video

497
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: where one of her teammates was going to speak to

498
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: another person. It was like a private conversation. She's going

499
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: to have another player on another team, and she casually

500
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: acts like she's done a lot, you know, just a

501
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: lot of dude, A lot of the gets in front

502
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: of the camera so they can have this private moment

503
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: and not everybody all in their mix, because everybody knew

504
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: that they needed to have a conversation.

505
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 2: Page Becker gets it.

506
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: She's good on the court, she's great off the court,

507
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: and I think her legacy is gonna be more about

508
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: her integrity and her legacy and just kind of what

509
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: she means and speaking up. And I think even pastor

510
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: WNBA career, I don't know her knees gonna hold up.

511
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: And I mean that respectfully. She's been through a lot

512
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: of injuries, and I think the great thing about her

513
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: is her legacy will last maybe longer than her knees,

514
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: and people will remember her for man, she was always

515
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: one of those people who spoke up when you needed

516
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: it too, and you wanted to hear the right thing,

517
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: and you wanted to hear maybe not even the right

518
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: because we all have different opinions, but she was never

519
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: scared to stand on business.

520
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 2: And I like that about Page.

521
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: Not only is she a great player, she seems to

522
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: be a great young woman and she speaks up when

523
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: when she feels compelled to, and I like that about Page.

524
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's one of the most impressive things. She's

525
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: a great basketball player for sure. As much as we

526
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 4: love Kaitlyn Clark, Clayton Clark's fantastic Paige Becker's was Kaitlyn

527
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 4: Clark Before Kaitlyn, she was supposed to be the one,

528
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 4: and unfortunately knee injury kind of derailed that whole thing.

529
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 4: But to your point, she has that consciousness level that

530
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 4: people want Kaitlyn Clark to have. Because you mentioned the

531
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 4: SP's comments that she made before that she was one

532
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 4: of the more vocal leaders at the time supporting Black

533
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: Lives Matter, which was a.

534
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: Big deal because you could probably.

535
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 4: Count on one hand the number of white athletes that

536
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 4: were coming out and actually speaking up. They'll say, hey,

537
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 4: I support my team, I support these plays, blah blah blah,

538
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 4: but none of them were actually coming out and speaking

539
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 4: out on behalf of what they were.

540
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: Actually Chris long as there was a small handy, you know,

541
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: but there's a half for you.

542
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: Was it very many right?

543
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: Another thing she does she is a very religious person,

544
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 4: and she will make sure that she lets you know

545
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 4: about it. Not in a in a forcing in all

546
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 4: you kind of way, but at a time when it's

547
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 4: almost uncool to talk about your relationship with God. This

548
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 4: is what she believes and she's going to speak up

549
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: on it. Kaitlyn Clark, on the other hand, is like,

550
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 4: I'm about basketball. I don't want to talk about.

551
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 2: Social issues, political issues, religious issue.

552
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: That's not my Bag's not what I do. And credit

553
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 4: to her page Beckers, that is who she is. She's

554
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: going to stand on it. She's going to use her

555
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 4: soapbox for what she believes are the right things, and

556
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 4: it's something to be commended. Now, I will say the

557
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: actual comment that she made about Kaitlyn Clark. I got

558
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: a problem with it, and I'll tell you about it

559
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 4: after Steve is say, can hit you with what's sherending?

560
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: Hey man, stop backing like you do this for a

561
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 2: living man, Steve, what you got for us?

562
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 9: That's a professional tease to not try that at home.

563
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 9: As for the WNBA, we got five games tonight, including

564
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 9: that game at Dallas, which by the way, that game

565
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 9: had been moved to the Dallas MAVs Arena because of Clark.

566
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 9: But Clark, averaging eighteen points nine assists per game, is

567
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 9: out again with a groin injury. Still, the fever led

568
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 9: by twenty after the first quarter. It's now halftime fifty

569
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,720

618
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,000

00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: that have been covering Kaitlyn Clark and the pressure she's under.

620

Speaker 8: She handles it with grace and the pressure that she's

622
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 8: put on every single night's perform at the level that

623
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 8: she does. It's inhumane, really, like to expect people to

624
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 8: be perfect and to not have off games or off

625
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 8: nights and if something's if she doesn't go like eight

626
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 8: for ten from three, like.

627
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 2: People are questioning things.

628
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 8: It's just it's unfair.

629
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: To have to do with that.

630
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: All right, rob Gie, you said you had some thoughts

631
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: about that portion of the conversation. We both agree on

632
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: that she's a great human being. Her being paid, yes,

633
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: But now this one.

634
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 8: I don't know.

635
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 4: You heard the guy, the reporter snicker when she said

636
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 4: it's inhuman she has to deal with criticism.

637
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: He said, who's criticizing Kaylyn Claren?

638
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 4: Like, I've looked it up and we had this stat

639
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 4: we were talking about before the show. Since she's come

640
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: back from injury, Kaitlyn Clark is one of twenty three

641
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 4: from three point Land their last three games and actually

642
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 4: on the season This is a crazy stat She's one

643
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 4: of twenty eight from deep on the road.

644
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: I had no idea.

645
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,880
Speaker 4: You know why, I had no idea why because nobody

646
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 4: talks about Kaitlyn Clark in a negative light no matter

647
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: what she does, and most of the time it's positive.

648
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: No matter what she does. It's yo.

649
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 4: Did you see Kayln Clark with fourteen assists yesterday? Do

650
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: you see Kaylin Clark? She had three straight threes in

651
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 4: a span of like ninety seconds. One of them she

652
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 4: had to chase down her teammate to get the ball

653
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: from her like Kobe and pull up from thirty five feet.

654
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: It was incredible. Did you see Kaylyn.

655
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 4: Clark got elbowed in the back by some hooligan on

656
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 4: another team? How dare they not protect her? Not a

657
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 4: single person ever brings up that Kaitlyn Clark in this

658
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 4: case is one for twenty three from three in the

659
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: last three games.

660
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 2: You know why, because Kayln Clark is one of them ones.

661
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: She is Steph Kurr.

662
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: Not just in the shooting in that Steph Curry outside

663
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: of Rob Parker, nobody points out when things went bad

664
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 4: for Steph Curry.

665
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: Man. You know that's been my biggest issue.

666
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: Rob has been the only person that I know of

667
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 4: who will beat that stat into the ground that you know,

668
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 4: Steph was over thirteen from you know, from the field

669
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: and playoff games in the last three second he had it.

670
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 4: Nobody else cares because Steph Curry makes you feel good

671
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 4: when you watch him play. Steph Curry has become almost

672
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: a sympathetic figure in the eyes with a lot of

673
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 4: people because he's the little engine that could. He's the

674
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: guy wasn't supposed to make it who made it, And

675
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 4: not only did he make it, he became arguably the

676
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: best player in the league for a point period of time.

677
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 4: Kaylen Clark is a unassuming you know, a white girl

678
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 4: in a predominantly black sport who has been cooking people

679
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: for three or four years now. Everything she does is covered.

680
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 4: It is under magnifying glass, but it's covered from a

681
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: slant that benefits her. I don't know anybody who is legitimate,

682
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 4: who is being honest, has a negative thing to say

683
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 4: about her. So I do what Paige Becker said to me.

684
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 4: Maybe she meant in a different way, but like, come on.

685
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I think she meant it the

686
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: other way.

687
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: I think she meant the fact that the scrutiny, the coverage,

688
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: that everything she's under. And again, if Paige, if Caitlyn

689
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: were to shove somebody, that's the biggest news. If she

690
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: got shoffed, biggest news, she hits ten threes, big news,

691
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: she's you know, all these things becomes the conversation.

692
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: And I think she was just saying, this is me

693
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: speaking for Page.

694
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: That like, Man, I can't imagine I Page had enough coverage, right,

695
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: I went to Yukon, I was a star.

696
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm sure she was a star in high school. Everybody

697
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: covering around locally.

698
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: She's been number one, number one her whole life, exactly,

699
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 1: so I know what that's like. Now you amplify that

700
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: by ten. I can only imagine when that would be like.

701
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: And it's And we talk about Page being a very empathetic,

702
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: sympathetic person, very well rounded person, a person who is

703
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: in tune with all the whole being of a person.

704
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: I think she's getting in the psyche of man. I

705
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: can't imagine having to deal with that where every single

706
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: thing I do is under a microscope. But to your point,

707
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing that we're getting to with Caitlyn Clark

708
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: in the covers with her Rabji. We're getting to the

709
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: point where, and this is a dangerous place where we

710
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: ignore the fact that she had thirty and ten last night.

711
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: We only really get excited when she gets shoved to

712
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: the ground. We only really get excited when she did

713
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: some you know, I can't feel my face thing in

714
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: front of an opposing bench or something. We only really

715
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: get excited when Angel Reese has something to say about her.

716
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: And that's a dangerous part to me, where what she

717
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: does becomes so common that we take it for granted.

718
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: We're just like, oh, she had thirty and ten whatever,

719
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: who cares?

720
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, that's crazy.

721
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: And the stats she's putting up, the numbers she's putting up,

722
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: the rates she's doing up, and the fact that she

723
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: came into the league took her a month a month

724
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: and a half to get kind of acclimated. And from

725
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: then it has been Asia Wilson's the best player. But

726
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: she's been right there, you know, for as far as one, two,

727
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: three best player in the league. She balls out, she

728
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: doesn't make the Olympics, we all go should have made

729
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: the Olympics. She becomes the best, one of the best

730
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: players in the second half of that season, Rookie of

731
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: the Year and all that good stuff. So it's like

732
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: we're almost taking for granted how great she is. And

733
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: that's why I think the coverage isn't what you're saying,

734
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: Because the coverage of her going two for a from

735
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: three we don't talk about it. Her putting up twenty

736
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: five and eight, we don't talk about it. It's only

737
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: when it's drama infused or something spectacular infused. And I

738
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: think that's a bad place because I don't want to

739
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: be one of those people, and I think the league

740
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: as a whole don't want to be in a place

741
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: where we take what she's doing for.

742
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: Granted and how special she is. But you brought up

743
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: a great point.

744
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: I do think there is something too for her case

745
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: mid America, white woman from mid America and just kind

746
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: of has that appeal dude to folks who didn't care

747
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: about the WNBA now are singularly rooting for her alone.

748
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, you mentioned kind of the the average man.

749
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: He's only sixty three, sixty two and a half, three

750
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: seers what I would give to be sixty three, right know,

751
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: that's an average average. But as far as you know,

752
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: that's reasonable sixth Street. And he's the baby face assassin

753
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: and he's quiet. He doesn't get in a lot of things.

754
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: He's not quite like Lebron, where Lebron is so passive

755
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: aggressive Lebron, you know, I thought I was the wash king.

756
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: I had forty tonight, yeah, but you lost by forty

757
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: tonight rock Oh my bad. I ignored that part, you know.

758
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: And he jumps in and everything. And I love this

759
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: about Lebron, similar to the page. He'll speak about things

760
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: he stands up for def but that also will rub

761
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 1: people the way because he jumps in everything. You know,

762
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: he's kind of you know, there's some other people at

763
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: media who do that. They jump in everything. Then they

764
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: always got a backtor. I shouldn't have done that. I

765
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: apologize to my wife, his wife, their wife. I should

766
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: have battle my gosh, it's okay to double dutch something,

767
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, Shit, when can I get in?

768
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: When can I? Maybe I'll dump in this one, maybe

769
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: not this one. Everybody's just jumping my content. My goodness.

770
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: You know, you're right.

771
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm coe gang content over everything gang,

772
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, I just it's maybe that said, that's a

773
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: flaw of mine, rober I just can't act like I

774
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: care about everything when I don't or want to jump

775
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: in or be the hero in every conversation and have

776
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: this poetic moment but the camera on me.

777
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 4: What's interesting is that you're very well spoken. I don't

778
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 4: say that worth with you, but you're a very well

779
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 4: spoken individual. You're a very thoughtful individual. So I know

780
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: that you have thoughts off the camera. Yeah, all of

781
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 4: these things that whatever we're going to talk about on

782
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 4: air off the air. But the fact that you have

783
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 4: the restraint not to, you know, is kind of refreshing.

784
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: You know why, And I mean will break here, but

785
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's sincerely. One thing I learned Robbie being

786
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: a news anchor, and you kind of have to.

787
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: You can't. You're trying to be impartially. You're trying to

788
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: be in as far as what you're portraying.

789
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 6: Now.

790
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: You know, I'm opinion that I got all the types

791
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: of things to say about, but when you're a news anchor,

792
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: you can't just I can't come on and be like

793
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: I hate Biden, I love Trump, I hate Trump, I

794
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: love Biden.

795
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't come out and do these types

796
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 2: of things.

797
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: What you learn is there's a lot of people, Robbie,

798
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: I've learned who say a lot but don't do a lot.

799
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: And I've because I've covered so many people around the

800
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: Greater Los Angeles area. You see people doing the real

801
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: dirty work, really trying to change the community, who will

802
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: never be spotlight or highlighted, or maybe we did just

803
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: spotlight them. That's why I'm familiar with our reporters did it?

804
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: Or I'm interviewing this person who's really doing the dirty

805
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: work and really doing these great things, and they'll never

806
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: have the microphone.

807
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: Get some of these folks who do who just talk it.

808
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: And I just realized, I'm like, there's another there's some

809
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: parts of the fight don't have to always be projected.

810
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: You're just doing the dirty work. You're doing the work

811
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. You're really caring, you're changing your little world.

812
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: Might be ten people, but you're changing those ten people

813
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: who will change another ten people. And it's compounded interests

814
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: on that. So I just got out of the business

815
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: of like having to make sure you see that I care.

816
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: And I'm a little a wait with the camera. Ready, okay,

817
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: we go, look at me. I'm about to go do

818
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 1: this thing. And I'm not mad at people do that,

819
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: but I just I don't have to scream at everything

820
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: and every jump in every battle to prove that I

821
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: care about the battles in which I do.

822
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 4: When you say that you got to pivot away from

823
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 4: certain conversations that I'm dealing with.

824
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 1: You right now, I'm not dealing with you right now.

825
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: That was pretty funny. That was doing all right.

826
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: There's somebody who said I make a lot of money,

827
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: but it ain't enough me.

828
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: Is he making the right decision with that? We'll tell you.

829
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:04,319

851
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: want to get to this quickly than Reeves as basically

852
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: declined the Mac extension for the Lakers that would have

853
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: paid him eighty nine million dollars over the next four years.

854
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 2: So you're talking a little.

855
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty two is twenty three twenty two bucks

856
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: twenty two million dollars a year, which is obviously good money.

857
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of guys. I'm sure he his

858
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: agent probably look at and say, well, if he's getting

859
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: that kind of money, yep, I know we can get

860
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: that much.

861
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 2: Josh Getty's about to get thirty million dollars.

862
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: Year, right, Josh Getty reported Josh Getty is a very

863
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: versatile player. Is nice, but here's no massive separation between

864
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: he and Austin Reeves. Austin Reeves putting up his career

865
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: numbers and assist. He gave you twenty a game, gave

866
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: you six assists, five boards as well, so and gave

867
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: you almost three threes a game played very well. Can

868
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: control the ball, can get other people of the shots.

869
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get straight to my my thing on this.

870
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: And they say he has all intention of being a Laker.

871
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: He's come out plenty of times. I love LA don't

872
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: want to leave it. I love the team, I love

873
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: the city. I love the golf here. If you know him,

874
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: he loves the golf. I got a chance to ask him,

875
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: I said while he sliced, and he was like, stay

876
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: on top of it, man, And I said, I all

877
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: that to say, Well, with the new ownership Rob g

878
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: Mark Walters and the crew and the way the aprons

879
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: are going, I said, the NBA is turning into the

880
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: Hell's kitchen talking about aprons and cooking and all that

881
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: with the second.

882
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 2: Apron and whatnot.

883
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: To me, I look at this as now you're gonna

884
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: have to put the money where your mouth is, meaning,

885
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: all right, do you want to remain a Laker? And

886
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 1: also do you want to have a chance to compete,

887
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: because part of that may be like I just did

888
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: today and like you do all the time for yourself.

889
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: I just got a haircut. You might have to take

890
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: a haircut now. The Lakers will love you at twenty

891
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: two million dollars, right, makes sense, But forty million dollars

892
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: forty two million dollars, and I'm a fan of his game, bro,

893
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: I can't pay you all that, especially with the aprons

894
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: of the way thing is, especially knowing I'm gonna have

895
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: to just resign Luca here soon, and especially knowing it's

896
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: still not enough this team comprised. I need more. I

897
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: gotta get more, guys. I can't pay you that kind

898
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: of money. So if you love LA, we can work

899
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: out a deal. I love you, and I love you with.

900
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: A three.

901
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: Thirty million thirty one, okay, cool, I love you with

902
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: a three Austin Reeves, but I can't love you more

903
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: than that. And to me, if you're really saying what

904
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: you want, you want to stick around here, you want

905
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: to have a chance, could bete for championships, then that's

906
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: what it's gonna have to be.

907
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, Because the offer that they made on the table,

908
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 4: which is the most like, it's not like they wanted

909
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 4: to only off erhm this masch This is the most

910
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 4: they could offer him right now because the weird contract

911
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 4: was twenty two million a year next offseason when he

912
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 4: outside of his contract. So this time next summer, he's

913
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 4: gonna be eligible for five years to forty six.

914
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 2: Nah, bruh, Yeah, it's gonna be a no for me. Dog.

915
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: So to your point, I love Austin Reeves at fourteen

916
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 4: million dollars. I love Austin Reeves at twenty four million dollars.

917
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 2: I think I like him at thirty.

918
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 4: I don't know how I feel at thirty four to

919
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 4: thirty five, like, And that's gonna be an interesting situation

920
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 4: for the Lakers and for a lot of teams moving forward.

921
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 4: Is the way this second April thing is. And we

922
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: saw that with Boston right now.

923
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: Uh huh. Drew Holliday is absolutely worth.

924
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 4: The contract that he's getting, you know, right now, the

925
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: problem is he's not worth it to me in Boston.

926
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 4: And when I gotta pay Jason Tatum fifty five, I

927
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 4: gotta pay Kayleum Brown fifty five, Like, there's not enough money.

928
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 2: To go around to give you what you think that

929
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 2: you're worth.

930
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 4: And that's gonna be fascinating to see because Austin Reeves

931
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 4: is very quickly gonna go from one of the great

932
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 4: bargains in the NBA to either appropriately paid or even

933
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 4: overpaid in about a month. That it's interesting to see

934
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 4: how Laker fans and NBA fans are gonna respond to.

935
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 2: That and be careful.

00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: And I think he wants to be or I truly

Speaker 1: believe him because I think he is wise enough to know,

938
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: especially because he didn't. He never thought this was gonna happen.

939
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: So this is all gravy, you know what I mean,

940
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: the success. I'm a Laker, and this is all just

941
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: a gravy for him. But don't go to the Wizard's

942
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: putting up twenty five and nobody know you
