Speaker 6: Oh yeah, big fact, I mean just a couple of

95
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 6: days ago, Martin wi Ston on this share, we were

96
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 6: talking during one of the commercial breaks about, you know,

97
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 6: because you played high level high school ball, a lot

98
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 6: of guys you played with you that played in college

99
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 6: played in the NBA. So we're just talking, what is

100
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 6: the percentage of people who play in high school ended

101
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 6: up playing at a high level Division one You're like

102
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 6: maybe fifteen percent? Yeah, ten percent?

103
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 5: About that?

104
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, how much of those guys play in the NBA?

105
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 5: What point?

106
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 4: So just think about it's crazy, right, and to be

107
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: there and to get drafted and then NBA draft, by

108
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: the way, it's not the MLB draft, which is like Steve,

109
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: how many rounds are MLB draft seventy eight? Stuff like

110
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: seventy eight rounds and you're getting you know, he is

111
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 4: the guy. They just drafted this kid in the forty

112
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 4: ninth round of the MLB, like forty nine. But the

113
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: NBA is only two, you know, and and we already

114
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 4: know that only a handful of these guys are really

115
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: going to make an impact and really be in the league.

116
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: So it's just an amazing accomplishment. So I don't ever

117
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 4: want to belittle that are diminished that. So congrats them.

118
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: With that being said, though, Cooper flag now is the

119
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 4: guy for the Mavericks, which I don't know if Nico

120
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: Harrison is the luckiest man on earth, the most well

121
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 4: informed man on earth, meaning like, hey, man, do what

Speaker 4: they got Zion. Just you know, let me go on

128
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: down the line. So I don't know if he's well

145
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,920

00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 4: Then I go on to some young guys Lively in

160
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 4: Gafford and now Klay Thompson and some other people. They

161
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 4: have coming a PJ. Washington, really nice player. You like

162
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: what you see on paper? My thing is number one.

163
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 4: Kyrie Irving isn't playing right now. Kyrie Irvy might not

164
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: play until late February, could be later on in the spring.

165
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: And he's older coming off a serious injury, and you're

166
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: banking on him being to play with another guy who

167
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 4: was older, who was often injured in ad So to me,

168
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: the win now is kind of like if you say so,

169
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: everybody has to be injury free, and that team is

170
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: injury prone, including Klay Thompson. And also you're gonna be

171
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: banking on a rookie who I think is gonna be good,

172
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: but it will also be finding his sea legs in

173
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: the NBA.

174
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 5: So I don't buy.

175
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: Necessarily the win now as much as obviously Nico Harrison does.

176
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: But he has to sell something to the fan base.

177
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: He has to get them energized, and again that's his

178
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: job to be trying to win now. But I'm just

179
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: we would be worried about the way they're constructed, which

180
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 4: is why it was so hard on him trading Luca,

181
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: is that you only got older with Anthony Davis. You

182
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 4: paired Anthony Davis with the Kyrie who's got injured, and

183
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: guess what happened last year Anthony Davis get injured. The

184
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: first game, he's back. A little bit later on in

185
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: the season, Kyrie Irving gets injured. So to me, and

186
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 4: you know, you said here, how many times I was

187
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: saying that. How many times I say, you got two

188
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 4: guys who are often injured. Boom, both of them get

189
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: injured in the same year. So that had been my concern.

190
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: But there's other points that you can point to about

191
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: Cooper flag that. Even Jason Kidd said that. We'll get

192
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: to it in a minute. But your thoughts on the

193
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: two timelines, the looper of it all is I'm calling it.

194
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 6: It's just not realistic. And the most recent example we've

195
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 6: seen of this is the Golden State Warriors. If people saying, well,

196
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 6: they want a championship in twenty twenty two, what he

197
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 6: maden't work? If you watch that team, they fell ass

198
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 6: backwards into it. They tried so hard to say James Wiseman,

199
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 6: Jonathan kaminga, Moses Moody, We're gonna build those guys, while

200
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 6: also being in contention with Steph clay Andre when that

201
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 6: run took off. None of those three guys were important,

202
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 6: No young guys. It was the old Wiley Vets. Jordan

203
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 6: Poole was a revelation. Nobody was explaining anything from him

204
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 6: when they dropped him, laying the first round.

205
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 5: Heavy on the Wolves, And yeah, exactly.

206
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 6: And Andrew Wiggins finally realized his full potential. He only

207
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 6: had it for one season, but he realized it, and

208
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: you could argue he was their second best player during

209
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: that playoff run. And the problem that you run into

210
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 6: with those two situations is you have the Wiley Vetts

211
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 6: and this HiT's gonna be Anthony Davis, who has a ring,

212
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 6: so he knows that he wants one more than probably

213
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 6: these guys want their second, the first one. Klay Thompson,

214
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 6: who has held bent on proving that Golden State made

215
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 6: a mistake by low balling him in that contract offer.

216
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 6: Kyrie Irving reportedly is gonna try to rush back as

217
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 6: soon as possible. Whether that's you know, smart on his

218
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 6: term short and long term, I don't know, but he

219
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 6: wants to come back and win right away. How on

220
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 6: earth are you gonna be able to satisfy all three

221
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 6: of these guys and still do what Jason Kidd just

222
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 6: said earlier today did in the press conference. Let Cooper

223
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 6: flag make mistakes, Let Cooper Flagg develop on the fly,

224
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 6: where he mentioned and will play this down here in

225
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 6: a second. Yeah, turn the ball over. I don't care

226
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 6: I need to do that. We're gonna put the ball

227
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 6: in your hands and let you pass to the wrong guy,

228
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 6: make the wrong read, throw the wrong pack like. You

229
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 6: can't have both because inevitably, when you get to April,

230
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 6: May and June in the postseason, because I think they're

231
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 6: gonna be the playof Cooper, Flag's not gonna be allowed

232
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 6: to make those kind of mistakes anymore. You can't say, Ay, Coop,

233
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 6: you're gonna be our new Yohannis, you're a new point guard.

234
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 6: Walk Kyrie's down. Do what you gotta do. Well, you

235
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 6: can't do in the Western Conference because if you trick

236
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 6: things around, you're no longer a top six seed. Now

237
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 6: you're in nine, ten, eleven, and then what, by.

238
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 4: The way, I hate I don't mind the play in.

239
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: I don't like the seventh seed being in the play in,

240
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 4: meaning I get the eight. You're the last of something.

241
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: If you're the last of something, so then you were

242
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: close to not even making it. Okay, great, let's have

243
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: the eight to nine and it makes it fun, right,

244
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 4: who was exciting to play it?

245
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 5: I'm okay with that.

246
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 4: If I were, I don't like the seventh seed, especially

247
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 4: in the Western Conference, because the seventh seed you might

248
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: be ten games above five hundred and you're like, man,

249
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: I cannot make the post.

250
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 5: We've seen that happen before.

251
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 4: I believe the Warriors happened to them once, or they've

252
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 4: gotten to play in and lost to the Lakers. I

253
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: believe it was like, I've never been a fan of

254
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 4: that the playing worked.

255
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 6: What was it during the bubble year when they said,

256
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 6: if you're within six games of the eight seed, we

257
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 6: only got ten games off season? Yep, sure, but now

258
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 6: you had to allow to see you to think of

259
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 6: the Eastern Conference where eleven and twelve, we're like thirteen games.

260
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: Back and we got a shot, and once we get

261
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: into tournament, right, you never know. He's like, no, I know,

262
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 4: you guys suck and you shouldn't even have an option

263
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 4: and a chance to be in this at that. So

264
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: all right, I want to let's play this sound real quick.

265
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 4: You mentioned Jason Kidd, one of the great point guards

266
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: of all time. Looking at Cooper Flag as maybe a

267
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: taller point guard, let's se what you have to say

268
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 4: about that.

269
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 8: I want to put him in at the point guard.

270
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 8: I want to make him uncomfortable and see how he

271
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 8: reacts being able to run the show, being able to

272
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 8: play the two, play the three. He's he's comfortable playing that,

273
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 8: but we want to push and I think he's going

274
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 8: to respond in a positive way. It's all right to fail,

275
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 8: It's all right to turn the ball over. We've talked

276
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 8: about that, you know, just understanding the guys that I've

277
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 8: been around that are being young from Giannis giving him

278
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 8: the ball and he failed, but he wanted to come

279
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 8: back and have the ball. So I'm excited about giving

280
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 8: him the ball against the Lakers and see what happens.

281
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 6: What will happen, Rob, I'll tell you what's gonna happen.

282
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 6: He's gonna have a real problem on his hands because

283
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 6: if you look at that roster in Dallas, they got

284
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 6: seven legitimate front court options that would play on a

285
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 6: decent team, right Cooper Flag, Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, Derek Lively,

286
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 6: PJ Washington, Naji Marshall, and what's the other from Miami,

287
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 6: Kayla Martin. Yeah, all every one of those guys, you

288
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 6: can argue should get a minimum fifteen to twenty minutes

289
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 6: on an average NBA team. I think you're gonna have

290
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 6: a real difficult situation in Dallas where you're gonna allow

291
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: Cooper Flag to develop the way you want him to

292
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 6: develop while keeping that two timeline track. When you have

293
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 6: I could argue right now at least three or four

294
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 6: guys who deserve minutes at the front court positions ahead

295
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 6: of him. So unless they decide, Cooper Flag, you are

296
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 6: our small forward, moving forward, point blank period, Anthony David,

297
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 6: you don't like plank center, you are five. Cooper Flag

298
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 6: is our four. That's what we're gonna do. That's how

299
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 6: we're gonna maximize this team right now. That's how we're

300
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 6: gonna maximize our Cooper Flag timeline. And unless they do that,

301
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 6: I don't know if we're even gonna see Cooper Flag

302
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 6: reach his full potential, much less the team.

303
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 4: So I actually disagree with you, Rob g our first disagreement,

304
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: because I think what he's trying to create is not

305
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: that he's a point guard in the sense of Magic

306
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 4: Johnson Isaiah Thomas, a traditional point guard. I think what

307
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 4: he is looking at and looking at success over the

308
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: last ten to fifteen years. If you look at the

309
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 4: Warriors when they were winning, everybody always said Steph Curry

310
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: the greatest point because Steph Curry's not a point guard.

311
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: Stop it. Steph Curry is a combo guard.

312
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: Right, Steph Curry for the first run the first seven

313
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 4: eight years, didn't even bring the ball up.

314
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 5: You know who brought the ball up?

315
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: Onguadala, Leonardo Barbosaving, Sean Livingston, Draymond Green. Those are a

316
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 4: bunch of other guys brought the ball up for him.

317
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: And so where I think there where he's going with

318
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: this is I think he's saying, I don't need you

319
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: to be me Steve Nash, Chris Paul, some of the greats.

320
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 4: What I do need is in this current NBA guys

321
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 4: are out. Pascal Sia can get the ball, he can go,

322
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: he can be on the break. And I think he's

323
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 4: looking at the successful teams. If you look at the

324
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: thunder SGA doesn't have to stop the whole entire game

325
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: to go get the ball. And I'm gonna tell you

326
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: a team it doesn't work for the Lakers. What happens,

327
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: Lebron has to stop, come get the ball. Pre Luca,

328
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 4: it always had to be him, right Lebron, Ron, You

329
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 4: still run like a freight trade.

330
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: Just go go. But he has a hold on wait.

331
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: Let you know, he has to do his little handwipe

332
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 5: on his jersey. Let me get the ball, let me

333
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 5: take it up slowly.

334
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: I think Jason Kidd wants this to be like the

335
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: bulls of the nineties, Ron Harper, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen,

336
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 4: Tony Koukoch all these guys can get the ball and

337
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 4: bring it up and go, the Warriors of their all.

338
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 4: These guys can get the ball and go, the thunder

339
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: Sga Wallace, it can be Caruso, j dub anybody even check.

340
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 4: Get the ball and go. And I think that's what

341
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 4: he's trying to create, so that they can get some

342
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: better pacing.

343
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: They can get they don't have to always have a set.

344
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 4: And I think also knowing Kyrie, your best ball handler

345
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: is not going to be back for some time, I

346
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 4: need as many people making good decisions and being able

347
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: to control a break and get stuff going. So that's

348
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 4: what I think he's trying to create, is he's looking

349
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: at the current NBA, whether it be the Houston Rockets

350
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 4: as well, this current NBA. The Pacers think about it,

351
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: it's like six guys who can bring the ball up.

352
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: And I think he's said the Pistons even had that.

353
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 5: You know, just go.

354
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: It doesn't have to be traditional early mid two thousands,

355
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: you know, the early nineties were like one or two guys.

356
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 5: That's it.

357
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: You literally get a rebound from the four or the

358
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: five traditional where's my point guard? Here you go. You

359
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 4: have to Now I run down. He's saying, bring it down,

360
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: go go, go, pacing, keeping the defense on their heels.

361
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: So I think that's what the what Jason Kidd is

362
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: trying to create. And part of that will be Cooper

363
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: Flagg is gonna be athletic. He's gonna get you seven

364
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: six to eight rebounds. I don't want you to have

365
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: to think all the time, find somebody, just go. And

366
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 4: I think he's trying to create that mindset for him. Dude,

367
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: you don't have to wait. And it's not my time,

368
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: it's not my possession. No, go create, get some If

369
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 4: it's there, it's there, and that's how you get those

370
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: Pascal Siakam easy buckets. Sometimes I ain't gotta draw a

371
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: play for you, I gotta it just happened in transition.

372
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 5: You made a play, You made the right decision.

373
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 6: I would agree with you if their roster wasn't built

374
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 6: with four centers and five power forwards, because who who

375
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 6: on their team? And that you bring me Pascal Siakam

376
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 6: and the Pacers. Almost everybody on their team save for

377
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 6: Miles Turner and their backup center Thomas Bryant, former Laker,

378
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 6: is capable of doing something like that. If you look

379
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 6: at Dallas and assuming Kyrie doesn't come back for a while,

380
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 6: it's well, I don't even specially then when he has

381
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 6: a contract right now. It's Max Christy, it's Klay Thompson,

382
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 6: it's Anthony Davis, it's Daniel Gaffort. Like, none of those

383
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 6: guys are known as creators. So what I think that

384
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 6: they would be best served, assuming they're serious about trying

385
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 6: to win now and they really want to get this

386
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 6: done and and really go for this two timeline thing,

387
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 6: is consolidate your roster. You don't need to have three centers,

388
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 6: you don't need to have seven guys competing for two spots.

389
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 6: So unless I like they're playing this three D chess

390
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 6: game that they kind of fell ass backwards into with

391
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 6: the whole drafting situation, and I just think they're gonna

392
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 6: find themselves and they have enough time with they be good.

393
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 6: But it's just such a murky situation for them. I

394
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 6: don't think it's working out.

395
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 4: I get what you're saying, and that's a good thing

396
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 4: to me though, of having all those bodies, because what

397
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 4: are the next Lakers need size?

398
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 5: You know?

399
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 6: I bet you they trade with them again though, but

400
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 6: at that.

401
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 5: Point it will be the Dallas Lakers.

402
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 4: But I'm using as an example of some teams still

403
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 4: need some size, and hey, if I got something that's

404
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: in demand, I can supply it.

405
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 5: You know that. I'm up right now, all right on

406
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: the way.

407
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: Also, Cooper Flag mentioned something Rob g we were saying

408
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: about the luxury he has that other top picks don't

409
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: off to have.

410
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 5: We'll get to that.

411
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 4: And if you want to jump in eight seven seven

412
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,

413
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 4: are they in a win now and win in the

414
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 4: future situation? And do you like j kids thought process

415
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: of letting Cooper Flag learn to play the point and

416
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 4: just go and make mistakes in real time eight seven

417
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:22,720

Speaker 4: some of you in about five years, I'll see you.

446
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,480

Speaker 5: We don't have we don't have time to get to now.

451
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 4: But Cooper Flag was saying Rob g that he feels

452
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 4: blessed to not have to be the centerpiece. And it's

453
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 4: interesting because so many draft picks. I don't think it's

454
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: any more prevalent than two positions, whether you're the star

455
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: pick of Cooper Flag, a zion in the NBA, or

456
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 4: a star quarterback. Because if you're bryce young and it's

457
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: like everybody know that, the whole city is excited. You know,

458
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 4: if you're Caleb Williams, the whole city is excited. Everybody

459
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 4: you're getting ready to come be this thing. And it's

460
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: so hard, you know, it's so hard to change a franchise.

461
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 4: It's so hard to be that.

462
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: Mind.

463
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: You in Cooper's case, you're eighteen, or maybe some other

464
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 4: guys are nineteen or you're twenty, and an entire city

465
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: is like, hey, come change everything that this organization is

466
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 4: general manager of this president of basketball. Everybody's been not

467
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 4: being able to do, not these veterans, but all of

468
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 4: a sudden, you have to come do this, And I

469
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 4: just think it's it's such a difficult position. So of

470
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: him understanding that he's privileged, I think, I think I

471
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: like the position he's in where he gets to go

472
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: in learn they have you mentioned the roster. They have

473
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 4: a good team. They should be good. Maybe not great,

474
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: maybe not a top five, seeds sixty, but a good team,

475
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: good coach.

476
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 5: And he gets to walk into that. Right, you don't

477
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 5: have to go save the Wizards.

478
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what his outlook on this thing. It's

479
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 6: very mature to be honest with you. But in many

480
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 6: ways you could argue it's like the anti Ace Bailey,

481
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 6: where he's like, Hey, I want to come in and

482
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 6: be part of a team. I want to win. I

483
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 6: want to do whatever it takes for this franchise, for

484
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 6: this group. Based on what we're hearing in the reporting

485
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 6: around as Bailey is, I want all the buckets, I

486
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 6: want all the shots. I want the least amount of competition.

487
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 6: I want to make sure I get mine so I

488
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 6: can get this second contract and get paid it's incredible

489
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 6: that you see the well basically become the two hallmark

490
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 6: marquee names of this NBA draft, and they seem to

491
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 6: have completely opposite viewpoints towards the league and their career.

492
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what, man, We're gonna have an

493
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,480

Speaker 4: bit later in hour three.

495
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,520

Speaker 4: Happy Friday? How you doing hey man?

536
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 7: I'm doing good.

537
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: How are you doing good?

538
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: Man?

539
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 4: We've just had a little quick conversation about Ace Bailey.

540
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 4: We'll have an extended one a little bit later on,

541
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: but we'll start there. Just what do you make of

542
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 4: the last few weeks? Face Bailey? Obviously very talented not

543
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you could argue just about his talent as

544
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag. Some people think more talented than Cooper Flag.

545
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: But here we are where the story is and just

546
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 4: how good he is and how good he can be.

547
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 5: It's well, he didn't take any visits.

548
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 4: Well now, he might not even be showing up to Utah,

549
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: and he didn't want to get drafted by Utah, but

550
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 4: yet they still drafted him. What's been up with this

551
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: journey that landed him there with the fifth Pig?

552
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, I think it's about the people you put

553
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 7: around you a little bit, and it's hard to do

554
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 7: that when you're fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, and now Ace is

555
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 7: still only eighteen. But like, you know, he's worked with

556
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 7: Omar Cooper is his manager, and kind of has been

557
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 7: the guy representing himself, representing Ace to NBA teams throughout

558
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 7: this process, and I, you know, I think as someone

559
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 7: who's kind of seen himself as a future star for

560
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 7: a long time, Omar kind of bought into that and

561
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 7: then said, hey, we should dictate where you go, and

562
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 7: ultimately wasn't successful in doing that. You know, I hope

563
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 7: that Ace to be drafted by Washington, New Orleans or Brooklyn,

564
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 7: and that I wasn't the case. The Jazz, you know,

565
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 7: pick him at number five, which I still think is

566
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 7: probably a pretty good basketball situation for him. But it

567
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 7: seems like, look, you know, the Jazz do hold the

568
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 7: cards in this a little bit. And as a result,

569
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 7: kind of everyone fell in line over the last twenty

570
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 7: four hours say hey, yes, you know, Ace is coming

571
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 7: into Salt Lake City, is going to be working out

572
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 7: with the Jazz, you know in the next two days,

573
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 7: doing a press conference on Sunday, right like this is

574
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 7: all happening, and so, you know, I think for Ace,

575
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 7: he said all the right things. You know, I talked

576
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 7: to Ace at the combine, talk to him on draft day.

577
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 7: I think he's excited just to kind of get to

578
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 7: work on the basketball side. It was just for those

579
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 7: around him didn't see that Utah was the best place

580
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 7: for him. And you know, that's the tough thing about

581
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 7: drafts is you don't always get to go where you

582
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 7: want to go. It is your career is determined by

583
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 7: kind of this random order that that makes it so

584
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 7: that you go to whatever team picks you.

585
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: Andy.

586
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 6: So one of the big talking points coming into the draft,

587
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 6: especially about Utah was you know, they tried tanking and

588
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 6: obviously the lottery balls and I'll bound their way. But

589
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 6: one thing that they've been trying to do with their

590
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 6: new head coach, with Lori Market and John Collins, a

591
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 6: lot of the guys out there is build a culture

592
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 6: that we want to get out from this seller do

593
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 6: all the situation we want to build. Forwarding it back

594
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 6: to Jazz basketball that was very successful for a very

595
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 6: long time, were you saying, yeah, so were you surprised

596
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 6: with that in mind that the guy they ended up

597
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 6: choot taking at number five was Ace Bailey, who, by

598
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 6: all indications, is more about his own you know, career,

599
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 6: in his own advancement than he is about building any

600
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 6: kind of culture. That part of the reason why he

601
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 6: went to Rutgers that is somewhere else, is because he

602
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: wanted to get his So were you surprised that that

603
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 6: was the pick?

604
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, two things on that one. I mean, I think

605
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 7: the Jazz, as desperately as they want to create a culture,

606
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 7: also want to create a co winning basketball team and

607
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 7: just frankly just need more talent, right, neither kind of

608
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 7: star level talent that kind of unlocks the rest of

609
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 7: the roster to some degree. So I think that was,

610
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 7: you know, the primary concern. But look, I've talked to

611
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 7: Awesome Ames about this and he's been pretty clear that

612
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 7: the they believe in a Bailey as a person as well,

613
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 7: Like they think he is a gym rat. You know,

614
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 7: everyone around as talked about how hard he works and

615
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 7: that's how he got to be the shooter and athlete

616
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 7: that he has become. So they're not that worried about

617
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 7: Ace's personality. They think that like, hey, you know he's

618
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 7: yes he's young, and yes he has some people around

619
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 7: him kind of giving bad advice. But ultimately this is

620
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 7: a kid who will work hard and will kind of

621
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 7: create and actually even help the culture. So I don't

622
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 7: think they see him as like a worry from a

623
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 7: culture point of view or a bad fit from creating

624
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 7: the culture they want to be. It's it's just that

625
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 7: he's young and has you know, agents and managers kind

626
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 7: of giving him the wrong advice at this point in

627
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 7: his career.

628
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 4: Andy Larson, our guest covers of Utah Jazz and NBA

629
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: for the Salt Lake Tribute. Let me tell youself, do

630
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 4: what I think, guys, I think Danny Age, if you

631
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 4: watched you know, any any documentary or anything about the

632
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 4: Celtics when he was there as a player and then

633
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: obviously when he was running the basketball operations, one thing

634
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 4: he learned from, you know, and he was even saying

635
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 4: he was a little bit more cutthroat than red Eyurbuck

636
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: in that he's such a business mind, meaning like, hey,

637
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Like he even knew it was tinny cause

638
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 4: we had on the burden in Mchaelen Parrison, those guys

639
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 4: too long. He's like I thought they asked me. I

640
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 4: told Rad we need to get rid of him, like

641
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 4: he's just that kind of guy. I can rid of

642
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 4: Paul Pierce KG. The reason I say, which is the

643
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 4: opposite of the Lakers, Andy, As you know, the Lakers

644
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 4: will hold on. It's a family run. They just historically

645
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 4: not anymore, but they would hold on. The reason I

646
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 4: bring that up is I think Danny Ainge is savvy

647
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: enough to say, there's no way I'm gonna let it.

648
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: Could have been a number one draft pick in another draft.

649
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 4: That's how talented he is. Just go to another team

650
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: and if we'll give it a shot for a year

651
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 4: to it. If I don't like him, he can go.

652
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 4: If he starts pouting on like you, then you can

653
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 4: go and I'll go get some nice pieces for you.

654
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: I just think that's the way his mind works. He

655
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: he's not overly loyal to a player. I think he

656
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 4: can like a player and I love him, and he

657
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 4: can you know, I'm not fully committed to you as

658
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 4: much as I am winning. So am I wrong for that?

659
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: I mean that's all I literally heard it out his

660
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 4: own mouth and documentaries and stuff, his approach to this.

661
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he doesn't like the person that he's

662
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: you know, these the human being that some of these

663
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 4: guys are, but he's all about what makes sense for

664
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: the team and the organization.

665
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think so, which is you know, kind of

666
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 7: rare to see from a former player. But you're right,

667
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 7: he's as cutthroat as an EGM in the business, and

668
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 7: I think that's what's made him a good GM. You know,

669
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 7: the Kevin Garnett Paul's Tears trade worked out terrifically for Boston,

670
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 7: and then they went for the guys that, you know,

671
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 7: Jason Tatum May to get him when they had the

672
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 7: number one pick to trade back get more picks, get

673
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 7: Jalen Brown, a guy you know, not a lot of

674
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 7: people had at that thought in the draft at that time.

675
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 7: Is incredibly good Jimmy, you know. And yes, it meant

676
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 7: that they traded you know, Isaiah and and just Isaiah

677
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 7: Thomas and some beloved franchise figures, but they made the

678
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 7: move that they thought was best for the team. And

679
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 7: so yeah, you know, I think we see that a

680
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 7: little bit where and aust names just the new president

681
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 7: of basketball operations in Utah, Danny Ain't is the CEO

682
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 7: of basketball to this kind of goofy title, But like

683
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 7: they are pretty clear that that's kind of what is

684
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 7: what it takes to win in the NBA. Is that

685
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 7: cut through mentality, is going for the younger guys, is

686
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 7: going for players who you think have the chances to

687
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 7: be stars moving forward rather than the stars of yesterday.

688
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 7: So I do think we're seeing that to some extent

689
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 7: with the Jazz with you know, certainly he traded Donovan

690
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 7: and Mitchell, Donovan, Mitchell and Rudy Gobert away, and you know,

691
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 7: it started this rebuild which has been pretty slow so

692
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 7: far but maybe ramps up a little bit in the

693
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 7: next couple of years.

694
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 6: Last one for me, Andy real Klick. You mentioned at

695
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 6: the beginning of the interview that as much as they

696
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 6: want to build a culture in Utah, they want to

697
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 6: get back to winning basketball. There's only one problem with that.

698
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 6: As good as this class was in twenty twenty five,

699
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 6: they're talking about the twenty twenty six draft class as

700
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 6: being historically great, especially you know'n get from byu aj

701
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 6: Depatz that it is supposed to be you know, one

702
00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 6: of the next Feenix, right, he's the guy. So I know, oh,

703
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 6: you mentioned that that Utah doesn't want a tank because

704
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 6: it hasn't really worked out from in the past. But

705
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 6: they do have about sixty million dollars in expiring contracts

706
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 6: with John Collins, Collin Sexton, and Jordan Clarks. All those

707
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 6: guys would have a lot of value I think to

708
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 6: a lot of teams. Could you see a situation where

709
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 6: the Angels kind of go back on their words. I

710
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 6: know we said we want to win right now, but

711
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 6: have you seen the draft class in twenty twenty six.

712
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, I mean they said they don't want to

713
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 7: tank next year. I don't think that necessarily means they

714
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 7: want to win next year, right right. I think that

715
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 7: means that they want to trade those guys away that

716
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 7: they had to frankly just sit out when they were

717
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 7: healthy last year in order to lose as many games

718
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 7: as possible to try to get Cooper Flagg. That didn't work,

719
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 7: but they you know, Ryan Smith, owner is the owner

720
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 7: of the Jazz is Byulm Danny h Byo alum. Like

721
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 7: these guys know a d depons and what he brings

722
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 7: from what you can bring to the Jazz. Then you

723
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 7: have Cameron Boozer, who Carlos Boozer is now a Jazz scout,

724
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 7: and then you have the fact that the Jazz have

725
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 7: a top eight protected pick, which they owe Oklahoma City

726
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 7: if they are ninth or below in the draft next year.

727
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 7: So look, you know, I don't think that the Jazz

728
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 7: have real, really any intention to be competitive on it

729
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 7: good next year, you know. And it's they the West

730
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 7: is so good that I think they can be in

731
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 7: that bottom four of the West pretty easily. So you know,

732
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 7: I think they can kind of accomplish both goals, where hey,

733
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 7: you trade away those veteran guys, you allow the young

734
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 7: players on your roster to play, you're still probably not

735
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 7: all that good in the scheme of things, and you

736
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 7: have a pretty good lottery chance that one of the

737
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 7: top three guys in the twenty twenty six staff that yeah,

738
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 7: do make a difference, and you pair them with Ace Bailey,

739
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 7: and all of a sudden, maybe you've got something cooking.

740
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 4: Well that's gonna be a long time if somebody's in

741
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: that kitchen cooking Andy, I don't know.

742
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 5: I don't know.

743
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving dinner and happening, you know, the big Sunday cookout

744
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 4: in and happen anytime soon up there.

745
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 7: Look, I think it's it says a lot that they

746
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 7: gave Will Hardy a six year extension right like this, Yeah,

747
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 7: is gonna be.

748
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 6: A hang around for a little whether he winned too

749
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 6: much like two years ago and the hit who whoa, whoa, whoa,

750
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 6: whoa whoa. You better relax. We were the two seed

751
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 6: for too long. Let's get back to the tam where

752
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 6: we need to be.

753
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 7: Yep, yep, you're exactly right.

754
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,880

833
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 6: You know, look it's beautiful too. By the way, left

834
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 6: the house early so I can stop at the pharmacy

835
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 6: get the new upgraded We go ving so I'm about

836
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 6: to get the real, you know, fully fledged weight loss medication.

837
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 6: On the way into the studio, there was a tire

838
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 6: blowout by a semi truck in the second lane. I'm

839
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 6: in the second lane. Car in front of me gets

840
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 6: out of the way. I see it because there's cars

841
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 6: on either side of me. I don't I can't change lands.

842
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 6: I just gotta slam on the brakes or I just

843
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 6: got to drive through it. I figure it's probably more

844
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 6: dangerous slam on the brakes than if I just drive

845
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 6: through it. Gun it to what is eighty eight miles

846
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 6: an hour, blow right through it. Apparently a Tesla is

847
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 6: not made to take that kind of impact, because the

848
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 6: whole bottom cover of my car was dragging on the

849
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 6: freeway for the next mile and a half. I had

850
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 6: to pull over to a local hardware store by some

851
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 6: zip ties, so I looked like a broke college unit

852
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 6: right now driving into the studios.

853
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 4: Well, you know what the worst part about that, or

854
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 4: the part of at least I think everybody listening can

855
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 4: relate to, is when you're having a day that's going

856
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 4: so good as beautiful. I he's great, I got this done,

857
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 4: knocked this out, took the baby here, everything, and it's like, no,

858
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 4: not today, not today. But hey, everybody's been in that situation.

859
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: I committed you when you told me, because I say,

860
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 4: at least you realize it's probably not safe.

861
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 5: For me to swerve or hit the break.

862
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 4: I'm oh, I'm gonna have to brace for impact because

863
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 4: there's a lot of people who swerve. Yes, and we

864
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 4: all have been the recipient of said swerve when some

865
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 4: mun just swerves in your lane or or that you know,

866
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 4: and you might have to swerve out of their lane.

867
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 4: And so I can say, on my half of so

868
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 4: many people and whoever was on the road with your design,

869
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 4: we appreciate that. But on the phone with you telling

870
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 4: me I ended up seeing them, it wasn't as bad

871
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 4: as I thought it was.

872
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 6: Listening to you, Expoge, it's more annoying because it's just

873
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 6: it's literally a piece of plastic that's covering up like

874
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 6: the little bottom area. And then, of course, you know,

875
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 6: because Tesla's are not regular cars, and that's what they

876
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 6: take them to a regular mechanic. I probably could if

877
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 6: I wanted to, But I say, go through the Tesla

878
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 6: app We'll get you set up with an appointment. We'll

879
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 6: get this knocked out. The estimate they give you right

880
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 6: there on the apple, Oh, it's only give about two

881
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 6: undred and saty final, All right, cool, I'm not ideal,

882
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 6: but I could pay it. The next appointment is not

883
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 6: for two weeks, so I'm be driving with the ziplock

884
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 6: zip tag.

885
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm not gonna lie. The zip blocks was crazy

886
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: for two weeks. You gotta cut the ziplocks because Alex

887
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 4: he's got the zip blocks and they're just they're like

888
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 4: all the way look like they you look like. Now

889
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna use that, but yeah, you need to cut

890
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 4: them right now. That's the only other part of ADS.

891
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 4: You're not too bad, but it's crazy when you have

892
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 4: stuff like that. Happened the craziest car experience I had

893
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 4: and it wasn't me And it's not apples apples of

894
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,240
