I want to say this down here, where 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: we're ten games in the Mike Brown era, and what 38 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: have I seen so far? They've moved past the early 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: season drama and the three biggest things that I can 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: see Mike Brown's imprint on the Knicks. Mickel Bridge is 41 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: a different player. He's the guy that's bought into everything. 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: Mike Brown is doing the most. He looks like a 43 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: different guy from last year, confidence wise, production wise. Karl 44 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: Anthony Towns is bought in as well. I don't know 45 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: what my role is now. Okay, pretty good sized role. 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: He seems to be more consistent, and they're playing the 47 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: bench guys, right. They figured they brought the right guys in, 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: whether it's Clarkson coming off the bench McBride. They have 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: some pretty good guys that they are giving minutes to 50 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: that are playing well. This would be normally a game 51 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: tonight where hey, all right, midway through the fourth quarter, 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: when you're playing some of your your bench guys, the 53 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: Grizzlies cut into the lead. All right, let's put all 54 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: the starters back out there. No, you don't really have 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: to write. Everything is going according to plan. You have 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a bench now you play 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: nine guys. You know, Timms's rotation was basically six. You know, 58 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: Josh Hart would come in and that would be it. 59 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: So yeah, so far, the reviews for the Knicks pretty 60 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: bleeping good. I'm pretty happy. 61 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: As a big fan of chaos in between the White Lions, 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: regardless of the sport we're discussing. It got to ten, 63 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: all right, Memphis battles back to ten, gets a turnover, 64 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: and then promptly turns the ball back over. 65 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I cursed audibly. 66 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah that was you're getting to single digits and now 67 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 3: they have to sweat the final four minutes. 68 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 4: Sure. 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: You know what. 70 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 3: One of the other things that they did so brilliantly 71 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: is they excised the problem. Much like we talked about 72 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: Nico going away. Tom Thibodeau's had a fantastic career. Yeah, 73 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: Tom Thibodeau does not like his bench. No, no matter 74 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: who is on it. You could have had a prime shack, 75 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 3: you know, coming back off an injury where you need 76 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: to limit it his minutes a little bit. He would 77 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: have sat his ass every game. I got a seven 78 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 3: foot duet. That doesn't matter. 79 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, you haven't seen any boy I, miss Tibbs. You 80 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: haven't seen any of that, right, Yeah. 81 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: Five or six guys coming off the bench and yeah, 82 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 3: playing ten to fifteen minutes. 83 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: You haven't seen any boy I miss Brian Kelly, boy I, 84 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: miss Tom Thibodeau, you have not seen any of that, 85 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: which should tell you all you need to know. 86 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 4: The Brian Kelly thing is going to get fascinating. 87 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: No, it's not sports talk radio worthy right now, because 88 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: it's just a report of how he got fired and 89 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 3: he wants his money. I'm fired for cause where's my money? 90 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: Where's my money? He got money for fake mustaches? Where's 91 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 3: my money? Yeah, that one's gonna get really leggious and problematic. 92 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 3: But you're absolutely right. Nobody crying for the return of 93 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: Brian Kelly. 94 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: Also, no one crying for the return of Bill Belichick 95 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: did a day after Brian Dable is fired as Giants 96 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: head coach. And look. One of the favorite things I 97 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: liked that The New York Post does is that every 98 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: time someone gets fired or cut or tray did the 99 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: next day, there's always these are the first pictures of 100 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: so and so since they got traded, cut off. 101 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: Fire, got fired, like Borest broken up, like when indicted. 102 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: When Robert Sala got fired last year, was here's the 103 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: first pictures of Robert Sala, like running to the grocery store, Like, 104 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: there's him today was the first pictures of Brian Dable 105 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: after getting fired. And it's him in a Penn State 106 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: hoodie outside his house, you know, in the middle of 107 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: a snowstorm like that, here's the first picture, Like, oh, 108 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: I want to see what Brian Dabele is doing. Like 109 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: but it's like when you haven't seen a star for 110 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: ten years. Oh, so and so is unrecognizable, Like it's 111 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: been a day. I know what Brian Dable looked like 112 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: on Sunday. It only looks like on Monday. But okay, 113 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: yeah great, But I still like that. I don't know why. 114 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 4: I just like that. He's the same guy, hasn't changed. 115 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: So David is let go. And maybe it was inevitable. 116 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: But today at his weekly press conference, Bill Belichick, head 117 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: coach North Caroline, was asked about the Giants opening a 118 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: job that maybe he would have been good for once 119 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: upon a time. And here's Belichick getting the question and 120 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: giving a typical Bellichickian answer as to his interest level 121 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: in the Giants job. 122 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 4: And when you got here, you said that you're not 123 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 4: coming here at TV. 124 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: But as soon as the Giants job came over this year, 125 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: you nion got thrown out there. I'm ser sure with 126 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: other NFL jobs, what is your message to players to recruit? 127 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure people are asking me about that. 128 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: But who want to come over? 129 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? 130 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 5: Rightfy for us? That's all I got this week. 131 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 4: That's all I got for you. 132 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: Ron. The CITs like that made you know, Hey, now 133 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: I've won a couple of games. Now I can give 134 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: you my craptastic rude answers that I gave for the 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: better part of twenty years. When I was the head 136 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: coach of the Patriots. All we were doing is winning 137 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Notice earlier this year, when Belichick had lost, 138 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: it was longer answers. Well, you know, I've talked about this, 139 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: and I got to get into longer answers because I 140 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: don't have the cachet I did when I was winning. 141 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: But they win a couple of games in a row, 142 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: but Syracuse doesn't really count. They win a couple of 143 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: games out suddenly on to wake Forest. Listen, guys, I 144 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: just wanted to want to talk about wake. 145 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: Forest out just saying now four and five, he's got 146 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: three games left to be Bowl eligible. Now I'm tailing there. Now, 147 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: I'm chesty. I'm chesty about getting there. Well, I mean, 148 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 3: I'm sure he's had people close to him, maybe in 149 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 3: the organization or around his life that said, you know, Bill, 150 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: you got to go back to being Bill. 151 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't. You can't suddenly become somebody else in 152 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 4: your seventies. You are. I don't know about that. 153 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: All of a sudden in the seventies, I'm dating a 154 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: twenty three year old and hey, I'm tabloid fodder. Now 155 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: I've decided, Well, I don't know that he necessarily wanted 156 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: to be the tabloid fodder. You know, well, I think 157 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: you kind of know that that's gonna happen. I think 158 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: you had to know when the ring doorbell thing came out, Oh, 159 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: the story is gonna break, Bill, you walking outside without 160 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: a shirt on for some reason. 161 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: Well, and then you had investigative reporters that had to 162 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: recreate the shirtless moment. No, it's going to get out. 163 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: But that's fine, I mean, but otherwise, you know, in 164 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: terms of the coach and his general disposition, you're only 165 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: changing that so much. He may be a sweet and 166 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: tender guy in his downtime, but when he's in the hoodie, 167 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: he takes on a certain role. 168 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, one of those one of those, uh, one 169 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: of the moments I think of when I think of 170 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: the Belichick. 171 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: In the beginning of the Jordan Hudson I mentioned Jordan. 172 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: Hudson, is I remember the first scene of Mister Baseball 173 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: with Tom Selleck, who plays an aging baseball player who's 174 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: in his mid to late thirties, and he goes to 175 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Japan to keep his career going right, he loses his 176 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: job to Ricky Davis, who turns out to be Frank 177 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: Thomas and uh in his first in his first movie 178 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: role c But the first scene is Tom Selleck and 179 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: they cut him and he's in bed with with a 180 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: girl that he obviously hooked up with the night before, 181 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: and they slowly pan out and it's her in her 182 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: in her sorority room where there are two other roommates 183 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: in this posters on the walls. 184 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 4: And he's like, oh man, this is a good look. 185 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: And as Frank Thomas wish him well on his journey, 186 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 3: she'll like it too. 187 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, not gonna look good. Oh but very good, very good. Hey, 188 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 4: you do what you gotta do. 189 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: Let me just not to be the guy to pour 190 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: cold water on here, but I have a big bucket 191 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: of cold water. This is not happening. Bill Belichick is 192 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: not getting back into the NFL. He's certainly not getting 193 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: back with the Giants. Well maybe Jets for a day. 194 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: Oh well, maybe he'll retire. He'll retire from the NFL 195 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: as head coach of the Jets, like he do it. 196 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: Again where he shows up for one day and then 197 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: leaves on a nat you know, with a press conference 198 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: in the NATA I was here for a day. Now 199 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 3: I'm here for another day. 200 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: Like the Patriots hate me, So I'm just gonna retire 201 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: as head coach of the Jets. 202 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 4: Why not? I beat him enough, so why not? 203 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: Uh, this is never going to happen ten years ago, Yeah, 204 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: and maybe five six years ago. Yeah, the Giants the 205 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 1: job that that Belichick maybe was the only one he 206 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: was made for besides the Patriots. Yeah, that could have happened. 207 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: Not now, not after you have proven that. Wow, you 208 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: ran the Patriots into the ground and now your life 209 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: is tabloid fodder and you're not winning at North Carolina. 210 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: That's not gonna suddenly make the Giants own it. And 211 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: I know the Giants own their. 212 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 4: Old school to the Marrow, their old school. 213 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: To Mars, but they're not gonna go back and say 214 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: let's go get Bill Belichick. If I'm Jackson Dart, I say, 215 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: then I want to trade. You're not bringing in some 216 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna turn me from a great quarterback into 217 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: a good average quarterback. 218 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 4: Not doing it. 219 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: You need somebody coming in that is up with the 220 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: modern day National Football League. And if Bill Belichick was not, 221 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: look what we did with his drafts After Tom Brady. 222 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: It's like he knew I'm not gonna win anymore. I'm 223 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: gonna get fired. I'm just not gonna leave any talent 224 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: in the cupboard for the next coach. So when that 225 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: guy loses, they're gonna say, ah, maybe Bill really knew 226 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: what he was doing after all, Like it would him 227 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: coaching the Giants would be such a disaster because he 228 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: doesn't have his fastball anymore. Look at how it went 229 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 1: with New England the last few years. They couldn't wait 230 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: to get rid of him. 231 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 4: They could. 232 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: He was done. He lost to the Jets at the end. 233 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: The Jets killed him from the NFL. The Jets retire. 234 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: Does he killed him in the NFL? That's not happening. 235 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: It would, like I said, it would be a disaster 236 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: to bring him back. He missed his window right if 237 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: he wanted to go. It was ten years ago, five 238 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: years ago, whatever it was, that was his time to 239 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: go to the Giants. When the Giants would have hired him, 240 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: it would have been a no brainer. But when you 241 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: show you can't do the job, and there's more negatives 242 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: that I can tick off your box, and there are positives, 243 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to hire you. 244 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 4: What positive. 245 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: Would you check off the box with Bill Belichick right now, 246 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: we'll be rude to the media. Great, we got that 247 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: in New York. Awesome. Like, I don't know what you 248 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: could say. The guy had a two interview lead to 249 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: be the head coach of the Falcons untill he didn't 250 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: get the job, Like, No, he's done. He's coaching North 251 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: Carolina until he finishes coaching in football. Maybe it's this year, 252 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: maybe it's at the end of this year, maybe it's 253 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: in the offseason, maybe it's next year. But he's coaching 254 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: until that ends, and that's going to be it for him. 255 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 2: Yeah. 256 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 3: I find him fascinating, So I hope he's with us 257 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 3: for a while here in the coaching realm, currently sixteen 258 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: to one according to Draft Kings dot com. Uh in 259 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: terms of the odds they've put up, Mike McCarthy your 260 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: favorite at seven to one, Clinton Kubiak eight to one. 261 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 3: Spagnola and Rumos are all horrible choices. Those are you 262 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: want an offensive minded head coach that's gonna take Jackson 263 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: Dart to the next level. None of those guys are. 264 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: I think the guy that has the interim spot is 265 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: the guy that should be the guy uh, assuming it 266 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 3: doesn't melt down. 267 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: Lincoln Lincoln Riley. Lincoln Riley, he does not show up 268 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: on This solves USC's problem of getting rid of him. 269 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: He takes his quarterback ackt him into the NFL. You know, 270 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: Jackson dar will play well under him. About a guy 271 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: who knows Jackson Dart, Lane Kiffin, Lane Kiffin has had 272 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: his chance in the end of it didn't really go 273 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: that quat. 274 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: It's a long time ago though. Yeah, but he's no. 275 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: But if he's the hot guy, it went terribly. But 276 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 3: that was also Raiders. Any time the Raiders like your cats. No, 277 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: that's I've got to put an asterisk. 278 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: It got to the point where when Lane Kiffen was 279 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: doing press conferences he was wearing a red windbreaker because 280 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: he didn't want to wear anything Raiders colors because he 281 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: was so mad at Alan Davis. I mean, that's not 282 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: a guy that I'm gonna say, yeah, let's bring you 283 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: back in everything. 284 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 4: He's going to do great here. Yeah, I don't know. 285 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: Does Jackson Dart's family hold any resentment toward Lincoln Riley 286 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 3: for bringing in Camleb Williams. 287 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think all would be forgiven. I 288 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: think all would be forgiven with that. 289 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 3: Either way, Belichick sixteen to one. I hope, I'm glad 290 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 3: we're back to beyond the Cincinnati answers. 291 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 4: I hope he goes to a bowl game and just waves. 292 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: It everybody that's a disaster waiting to happen. 293 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: I mean it would be fun for us, but wow, 294 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: bad for Jackson Dart, bad for the Giants. 295 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 3: But if he's got But if Scataboa comes back, tell 296 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 3: me Bill Belichick wouldn't be enambored by that. Oh, sure, 297 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: neighbors a good defensive line, Jackson Dart and camp Scattabo 298 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: that he can run forty five times like he's the Jugger. 299 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: And I'll give you the first question to Bill Belichick 300 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: to Game one, Bill Jason Smith, Fox Sports Radio. You 301 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: ran cam Scatta both thirty seven times, he gained sixty 302 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: five yards and Jackson Dart only threw the ball twelve 303 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: times and you lost. Can you take me through why 304 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: you went that way with your strategy. 305 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 4: We won the game thirteen to six. You may not 306 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 4: like it, but it's winning football. 307 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: Oh, that would be the best exit up about a 308 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Fresca exit Swallen Dome Jason Smith, Mike Carman live from 309 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio Studios.

I just keep going back to the I 341 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: get that this is the NBA and they're doing something 342 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: new with NBC and Peacock and we're having the the 343 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: you know, the the coast to coast games. But like, 344 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: you want the most people possible to watch your your product, 345 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: which I getsch is why you wouldn't put it on streaming. 346 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: But you know, I get that, Hey, we have the 347 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: early game, we have the late game. You still want 348 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: some people on the East coast to watch this game. 349 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: And if you're starting the game at ten o'clock East Coast, 350 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: all right, some people are gonna stay up late. I'll 351 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: stay up and watch a little bit of the game. 352 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: It's a big game. Where Yokic is playing, or it's 353 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Lakers and Spurs or something you'll watch. But that ten 354 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: to eleven window for people staying up and going to 355 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: bed is a really big deal. It's why primetime programming 356 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: ends at eleven o'clock because people go to bed or 357 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: they're going to watch the news and go to bed. 358 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: But you know, people don't really watch the news that 359 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: much anymore. So, but you start at ten, you'll get 360 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: at least some people from the East coast. He start 361 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: at eleven, You're not gonna get anybody. And I get 362 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna get the West coast no matter what. Like, 363 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: people are gonna watch this game if they want to 364 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: watch basketball, okay, great, But like I don't know there 365 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: to be any any product that that succeeds by making 366 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: it available to fewer people instead of more people. 367 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: No, but it's a global entity. I mean, you could 368 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 3: subscribe to Peacock anywhere. Right now, it's seven twenty four 369 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 3: am in Serbia. Before you're going to school or work, 370 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 3: you're hanging. 371 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: Out watching you I'm gonna get at four am and 372 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: watch You'll catch four am. 373 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 4: But he's kind of a big deal. 374 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 3: I think that what he is and then I take 375 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: care of his horses and be ready so he could 376 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 3: jump in the song key when he gets home. 377 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: Dude, I love the Jets, but if they were playing 378 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: at four o'clock in the morning, I'll tape and watch 379 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: it later. No, but it's the same argument we have 380 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: whenever there's an international game. Right, there's larger business things 381 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: that at play as you're rolling through when you're talking 382 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: about your new streaming services and partners and those agreements 383 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: that you roll through and you try something, and if 384 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: it doesn't work, and if the numbers say this is 385 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: a disaster, guess what, they won't do it anymore. It's 386 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: a coast to coast too that it's a stay up late, 387 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: stay up really late to watch. 388 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: I dig it though.

People are 411 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: getting up at six am, no matter if they go 412 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: to bed at nine or if they go to bed 413 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: at eleven thirty. After a basketball game, six o'clock is 414 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: still coming. You're still waking up to go to work. 415 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: If the game is on a little bit earlier, you 416 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: watch a little bit more of it. If the game 417 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: is on later, you're not gonna watch any of it. 418 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 4: Maybe you stay and you watch it all and you come. 419 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: Back to the you're just saying that, like maybe I'm 420 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: not like if you don't show me numbers that nobody's watching. 421 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 3: Guess what they'll change their philosophy, Yeah, gift the numbers 422 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 3: and the math. And for their television partner it becomes 423 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 3: a problem. They'll change what they're doing. But in the 424 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 3: short term, it's like all these other games, like when 425 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: everybody complains about the fractionalization of the viewing and opportunities. Right, 426 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 3: here's a game on this service and airs Amazon, Like 427 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 3: take football Amazon here, and I've got to have the 428 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 3: package to watch this. I've got to have NFL networks. 429 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 3: I either need cable or I need to subscribe to this. 430 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: Like all of that to say, like people have to 431 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 3: make their choices. I'm sorry, you're not gonna watch every game, 432 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 3: and a lot of people are gonna step and watch Denver. 433 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 3: But it's not it's not choice is it's not saying, hey, 434 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 3: here's a game you can watch or not watch. 435 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 4: It's here's a game. 436 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd watch it, but no matter what time you 437 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: put this thing on, I'm not gonna no matter no 438 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: matter who the teams are, I'm not gonna watch it 439 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: at the time you have it. But but the fundamental 440 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: thing here is it's also on Peacock. 441 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: So if you don't have Peacock. It doesn't matter, right, 442 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 3: you got part of the argument. You didn't take the 443 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 3: other part. 444 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: With it too. If I don't have Peacock, I can't watch. 445 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: This exit ut about a Fresco exit Swalling Dome. Jason 446 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: Smith Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios Today, 447 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: Nico Harrison was fired as general manager of the Dallas Mavericks, 448 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: which is making every fan in Dallas happy. They can 449 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: go to games on Wednesday and chant we fired Nico 450 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: and be excited about it. 451 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 4: You think they will sell we fired Nico merch? 452 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they'll be farewell Nico, or 453 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: they'll be all kind of there at sea. It's gonna 454 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: be like an early Christmas. They got rid of Nico 455 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: Harrison now this trade and now he got fired because 456 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: the Luca Dantis trade clearly did not work out for 457 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: the Mavericks. You have Luca out to a huge start 458 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: this year for the Lakers, playing an MVP level, and 459 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: the Mavericks are terrible despite the fact that they got 460 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: Cooper Fleck. 461 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 4: They're bad. They're three and eleven. 462 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: This is generally looked at as maybe the worst NBA 463 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: trade in the last twenty years. Now you want a 464 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: hot take, look at this a little bit differently, because 465 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: you got to go back and have a little bit 466 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: of you're doing a little bit of revisionist history when 467 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: you say, oh, Luca got traded. The trade is awful. Yeah, 468 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: look how the trade turns out. Yes, But at the time, 469 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: maybe it was the gutsiest trade we have seen in 470 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: the last twenty years. Because here's Nico Harrison knowing full well, 471 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: if this trade doesn't work out, I'm getting fired and 472 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: I'm probably never getting a job in a position like 473 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: this in the NBA again. But where were things when 474 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: they made this trade? Luka Doncic of course had led 475 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: the Mavericks to the finals, but what are they seen 476 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: in the ensuing months? Not in shape, injured. They didn't 477 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: like a lot of his off court habits. He's too 478 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: much hookah, you know, they didn't like it. How much 479 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 1: of that as an soul he was gonna come up 480 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: for an extension? Well you had and then you had it, 481 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, at the celebratory postgame locker room experience going 482 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals. Michael Finley, assistant GM. Now the 483 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: GM taking a beer away from Luca. Dude, you don't 484 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: take care of your body. We're taking a beer away 485 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: from you while he's standing there with his dad. So 486 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: relationships with Luca and the team not at a high point. 487 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 1: They had to make a decision. Are we gonna give 488 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: him three hundred million dollars? And Nico Harrison's aspect of 489 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: it was, if we give it to him, I can't 490 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: guarantee you he's gonna take care of his body. I 491 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: can't guarantee you he's gonna stay healthy. And this contract 492 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: could be in albatross that we gave Luca. He had 493 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: a lot of power with the organization, and I don't 494 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: know that if we give him this money, if he's 495 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: going to turn himself around. We asked more. I asked 496 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: Mark Stein this last hour Mavericks Insider, NBA Insider. He said, 497 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: I would have to hope that Luca would have changed. 498 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: That's a big gamble to make at the time. Remember 499 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: that was the situation with Luca at the time with 500 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: the Mavericks. He was hurt, he wasn't the line, didn't 501 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: know what he was coming back again? Too much power? 502 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: Is he going to be a guy that stays in shape? 503 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: You give him three hundred million all of a sudden. 504 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: Does that make him say I want to stay in 505 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: shape and I want to be the best version of myself. Dude, 506 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: I just got three hundred million dollars. I was mailing 507 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: it in. It's a really gutsy decision to make to 508 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: trade Luca at the time. Now, as it turned out, 509 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: didn't turn out great, right, But when they made that deal, 510 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: it was, Hey, this is not going to be something 511 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: that works for us, so let's go make the trade weekend. 512 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: Now forget for a second, Hey they got ad he's 513 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: had trouble staying on the court. Kyrie Irving tears is 514 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: acl That's one thing. Now Luca here is with the Lakers. 515 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: This is part of what makes it gutsy is that, Yeah, 516 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: I know it could blow up in our Giving him 517 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: this money is a risk. Let's trade him knowing full 518 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: well that this is going to be the impetus that 519 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: Luca needs to get himself right. Oh, I just got 520 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: traded away from the only team I've ever known where 521 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: I was an absolute hero, where every kid in the 522 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: Dallas area is where in my jersey. This is an 523 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: eye opening thing for me. I better straighten up and 524 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: fly right. So what did Luca do? He got to LA. 525 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: I love it here. He got his body in shape, 526 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: he's come and motivated, and he's leading the Lakers. He's 527 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: the player he was before with Dallas. Nico Harrison knew 528 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: that all of these things could happen. 529 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 4: Right. 530 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: The trade might not work out for us, but signing 531 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: Luca wasn't gonna work. We could trade him away and 532 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: Luca's gonna wind up having his epiphany and I'm going 533 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: to now become that great player the back half of 534 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: my twenties that I was because I'm gonna work hard 535 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: at it. That's a huge risk. It's gutsy being able 536 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: to make that trade knowing that these are likely outcomes 537 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: for you. We're not going to be able to keep 538 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: everybody happy in Dallas with this trade. And he may 539 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: go to La and do this, but he wasn't gonna 540 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: do it with us. I know he wasn't gonna do 541 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: it with us. But yeah, we trade him to LA. 542 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: There's a good chance that WHOA on a new team, 543 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: he gets his head on straight and becomes this kind 544 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: of player. That makes it really gutsy to still make 545 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: that trade knowing these could be the results. But that's 546 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: what you got to remember back at the time is 547 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: making this Luka Doncige trade, is that maybe he was 548 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: gonna be this guy, but he would They didn't think 549 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: he was gonna do it with Dallas and up for 550 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: all that money, it wasn't a great investment for him. Look, 551 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: even mark Stein's, like I said, even mark Stein's, I 552 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: would hoped that things would have gone differently. 553 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 4: That's all you can say about. 554 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: It's not that all. We traded a guy who's going 555 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: to be a star for the next ten years. You 556 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: hope it would have went differently. 557 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 4: No, but that's the. 558 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 3: Thing, right either way, it's a lot of wishing and hoping, 559 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 3: and there's a fine line between bold and crazy or 560 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 3: bold and stupid, however you want to term the trade 561 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 3: as it's been categorically dismissed since the day it went down. 562 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 3: But to your point, through that lens, you know, for 563 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 3: Luka Doncts, Yeah, there's always the hope that a guy 564 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 3: is suddenly going to recognize that father time comes for 565 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 3: his body. And the more you abuse it, Slash, don't 566 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 3: do your rehab and be diligent about to carry a 567 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 3: couple extra pounds. Yeah, it's gonna get you though, especially 568 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 3: when you're talking about a guy with the usage rate 569 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 3: like Luka doncitz has, Like it's not a lot of 570 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 3: off time, you know, off ball, just kind of hanging around. 571 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 3: He's a guy in the throws in every possession. So 572 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 3: the wear and tear was certainly going to be huge. 573 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: So from a Dallas perspective, when you're talking about the 574 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 3: investment and what that investment means, you know, is winning 575 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: that paramount or is it, Hey, we've got a nice 576 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 3: superstar that the league loves. You're trying to figure out 577 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 3: what that equation is because if you're losing year after here, 578 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 3: guess what you've got Luca, you didn't win, You're done. 579 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: If you never replicate the highs of winning the Western 580 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 3: Conference again, Okay, maybe you do, maybe you don't. But 581 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: you make the trade, and what didn't work for Nico, 582 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 3: not only do you get Luca showing up on the 583 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 3: cover of fitness magazines and becoming that guy every guy 584 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: you traded for in the calculated risk, which were obviously 585 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 3: large risks we assessed at the time. If it breaks right, 586 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 3: great Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Clay Thompson and eventually Tadah 587 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 3: It's Cooper Flag, this could work. Guess what three of 588 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 3: those guys aren't in the lineup, and well, one guy 589 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 3: is he's no good anymore. Clay can't defend, can't shoot 590 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 3: Anthony Davis. You know, it's a fifty to fifty proposition, 591 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 3: particularly at the end of October early November, whether he's 592 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: playing any meaningful minutes for you and Kyrie's out indefinitely. 593 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 3: Cooper Flag's been great. He's eighteen years old. He's expected 594 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 3: to carry the weight of the world world on his 595 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 3: shoulders right now for the league and for this squad 596 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: and for Nico's job. That was a pretty hefty burden 597 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 3: as they've been terrible. So you you excize it and 598 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: move to the next era. 599 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: And you know, the other part, just because this is 600 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: this is kind of an anstilly part of it, but wow, 601 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: it was a big deal. Is that there's still no 602 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: timeline for Kyrie Irving's return. Like it's been a bunch 603 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: of months where now, not that he's ready to come back, 604 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: but you should have a timeline by now of when 605 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna play, and there's none there. And he's gonna 606 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: play three weeks Thanksgiving targets Thanksgiving. You know, maybe it's 607 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: more early part, middle part of December. But you know, 608 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: clearly I'm putting this out there. I want to give 609 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: you hope that I'm going to be back soon, even 610 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 1: though you know Joe Flacco's lighting it up in my 611 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: maybe hey, he's not that he's gonna take his job, 612 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: but I got to. 613 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 4: Get back there. 614 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's throwing the ball really well. But like this 615 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: is where you really would think that at some point 616 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: you'd have a time frame for and you don't have 617 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: that at all. 618 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 4: No, But that's it. 619 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,239 Speaker 3: So you've lost every every way you could lose this 620 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 3: trade you did, and now fans aren't coming to this 621 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 3: to the arena anymore either. So it's also immediately in 622 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,959 Speaker 3: the pocketbooks, the negativity and the firing chance ownership. At 623 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 3: some point you just got to stop the lost because 624 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 3: I can only imagine what that's like in the locker room, 625 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 3: right that that's the chant that greets them. They could 626 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 3: go on a ten ozer run and it's still fire. 627 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 4: Nkum. 628 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: You know what the lesson learned here is, guys, what's 629 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: that Frostburg Never touch a girl man's beard? 630 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 4: That's value. You might be right, that could have been 631 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 4: the moment that could be, especially in front of their dad. 632 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 4: That's right, Yeah, that's right, that's right. Boy one, I 633 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 4: would pay for that beer. 634 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 3: Can you want to talk about memorabilia, the Otani ball 635 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 3: and all of those things. We're talking about moving mountains 636 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: and franchises over that beer. 637 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: But just think about that. Think about how gutsy the 638 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: trade was to make it, knowing all of the things 639 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: that could happen, and Nico Harrison still did it. 640 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 3: It's hard to know that you are probably going to 641 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 3: be the villain of the story. Most people are not 642 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 3: ready for that. Nico embraced it and will get a 643 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 3: statue in his honor.
