WEBVTT - 01/14/21 DPS Hour 2 Frank Isola 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.480 Sports Radio. Well, it feels like it's inevitable urban Meyer 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:13.400 is coming back. Varying reports led by Adam Schefter, Jacksonville 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:15.720 and urban Meyer in advanced talks to see if they 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:19.680 can finalize the deal. Per league sources, they met yesterday 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.520 and you could have a press conference by the end 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.880 of the day. Urban Meyer's your new head coach with 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:29.960 the Jacksonville Jaguars. Also, if you hire the head coach 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.320 before the GM, which is what they're going to do, 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:37.520 urban Meyer is pretty much your de facto GM or 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.720 he's going to have a lot to say about that 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:44.319 roster when you do bring in that GM. But if 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:49.720 you're urban Meyer and you go into the NFL just coach, 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.840 don't be involved in roster moves or you know, be 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:58.960 the final say in all of that, because there have 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.360 been people who have done this and they realize you can't. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.080 It's hard enough just to be a head coach in 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:08.920 the NFL. YEP. Bill Belichick's a wonderful coach, obviously greatest 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:12.560 NFL coach of all times. Not good with personnel in 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.400 my opinion. Now they've made moves, they got people, but 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.400 you know, the content was always Tom Brady like that. 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:27.000 Luxury when you have your quarterback can't be understated. Urban 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:30.960 Meyer wants the Jacksonville job because of Trevor Lawrence. You 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.440 got a rookie contract, you got cap room, you got 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.120 two first round draft picks, and maybe you can build 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.880 something there. You don't have all the media pressure you 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.040 would have if you were in a bigger market. No, 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.360 it's like, this is Columbus, Ohio. You probably had more 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.120 media scrutiny in Columbus than he'll have in Jacksonville. The 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.080 expectation level, what is urban Meyer? It is Trevor Lawrence. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.960 But you're going to expect them to be competitive. You're 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.920 not going to expect them to be a playoff team 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.560 anytime soon. But looks like urban Meyer is going to 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.880 jump into the NFL eight seven seven three D P 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.240 show email address Dpadan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.560 DP show your phone calls coming up. Frank I Sola 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.600 from the Mothership also works for the S Network. He 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.679 covers the nets as a studio host. He'll John is 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.119 coming up in about fifteen minutes. Get his thoughts on 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.760 Harden coming in. We like to say, well, whose team 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.280 is it. Good luck with that, because I don't even 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.480 know when Kyrie Irving is coming back. I guess it's 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.160 Kevin Durant's team. But we love to ask this question, 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.000 who's going to take the last shot? What a luxury 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.400 if you have three players who can take it as 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.200 a defender. If I know that's your guy who's going 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.720 to take the shot, I got a better chance of 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.160 understanding what we want to do defensively. If I have Kyrie, 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.800 James Harden, and Kevin Durant, good luck, pick your poison. 0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:00.320 Harden will have a complicated legacy in Houston. You know 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.680 we're gonna a lot of times we forget how things end. 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.800 You know that we remember the great times and what 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.720 he did and basically had a really pretty spectacular eight 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.960 year run there, but the end ugly. But when things 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.840 were going well, he was a unique superstar, you know, 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.720 one of the great scores in the history of the game. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.400 And at the top of his game, you couldn't do anything. 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.960 You couldn't stop him. You could only hope to contain him. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.079 Great range, underrated passer, he can get to the hoop, 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.160 he draws fouls, he makes free throws, and he was 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.360 good enough to get the Rockets deep into the playoffs. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.680 They were not good enough to get by an all 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.480 time great Golden State too, And there was a downside 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.600 because he was so productive during the regular season, it 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.960 felt like he would just wear down. If anybody needed 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:51.640 load management, it was James Harden. The Rockets were one 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.480 of the more entertaining teams in the league. Right now, 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.560 fans in Houston probably aren't too happy with James Harden. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.520 But if you look back, if you think back, once 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.760 this passes, you have a little bit of time, a 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.280 little separation, you'll realize that you were treated to one 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:11.000 of the truly special players of his generation. But the 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.080 Nets are hard to root for. I think they were 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.760 hard to root for when Kadi and Kyrie hooked up there. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.240 But if you said, hey, you want entertainment, then give 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:24.720 me the Nets. Whether you want to root for him 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.760 or not, they're here. You're gonna have to deal with him. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.520 So it's a big deal. The Pacers dumping Victor Oladipo. 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.560 They got Carris Lavert, who is a player you're probably 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:39.159 not too familiar with, but having watched the Nets, certainly 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.400 when Kyrie was out, Caris Lavert is a great addition 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.880 for the Pacers. Cavalier's got Jared Allen, who I like 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.320 a lot energy guy, rim Protector young, he's twenty two. 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.040 And Houston got Old Adipot and I don't think Oldadipot 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.360 is going to be there too long. But a lot 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.479 of picks. You got a lot of draft picks there. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.680 You know, it's one thing to have draft picks, it's 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.680 what you do with your draft picks away. I always 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.080 mentioned the Baltimore Ravens in Ozzie Newsom. They did the 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.760 best with what they had with their picks. They didn't 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.000 have a lot of picks, but what they did with 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:17.240 those picks made them Super Bowl champions and as put 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.400 them back in the picture again with Lamar Jackson and 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.200 where they took him. Other teams could have drafted these 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:28.480 guys that Baltimore drafted and they did a wonderful job. 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.160 I go back to Cleveland. Cleveland had all of these 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.159 draft picks, but they weren't good. The person who was 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.760 making these picks wasn't good. And that'll be the key 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.599 for Houston. You have these picks, the question is what 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.120 are you going to turn those into? The Lakers are 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:48.440 ten and three best record in the league. And you know, 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.840 we'll talk to Frank Eisolo about if you're the Lakers, 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.360 how concerned are you with what happened now? You're never 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.680 going to acknowledge Oh my gosh, Man Brooklyn, that's an 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.560 unbelievable deal. You're not going to do that. You'll just 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.200 go all right, looks good. My approach would be like 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:08.279 Anthony Davis, that looks good on paper, because it does 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.960 look good on paper, but you don't play on paper. 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.840 Eight seven seven three d P show email address DP 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.640 at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show, 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.600 get to your phone calls our poll question mccleven. So 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.120 the first hour was are the Nets the team to 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:26.159 beat in the NBA? Said no, okay, So I thought 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:27.960 maybe we should switch it up to the East at 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.080 least keep going down until we get something where people 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.720 are picking them. Yeah. I can understand that. Yeah, I mean, 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:39.560 I think Philadelphia is better and Milwaukee. Milwaukee probably don't 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.680 forget about Miami. I think you're seeing teams like what 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.159 I see now is not what I think I'm going 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.840 to see in a month from now. And I think 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.839 that's where you have to be fair to these teams 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.359 with what they went through in the bubble and sort 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:56.279 of working their way back into shape. This program brought 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.520 to you by dunder Mifflin. The family has a new home. 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.520 It's on Peacock and you can watch. You can stream 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.880 every episode again and again and again. Sign up at 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.400 Peacock tv dot com to stream now. Phone calls coming up. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.800 Aaron Donald is good to play. I don't know what 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:18.880 that means now. He has a rib injury, not broken ribs. 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:23.760 But if you have a cartilage terror, it's more painful 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.000 to play through than a broken rib. Now they can 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.520 protect it and try to isolate it a little bit 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.120 and probably shoot it up a little bit there with 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.200 Aaron Donald, but he is expected to play. Jared Goff 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.640 is going to be your starting quarterback against the Green 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.120 Bay Packers, but Aaron Donald and Cooper Cup are expected 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.120 to play in that game. Tom and Los Angeles leads 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.120 us off this hour. Hi Tom, what's on your mind? Hey? 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.200 Doing pretty well. I can't wait for this train wreck 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.720 in Brooklyn to start. Because Kyrie is a proven narcissist 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.600 who sabotizes any situation where he's not the top dog. 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.760 We saw the kind of mayhem he ratches up in 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.040 Boston as who's that team started playing better without him? 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.160 And how determined he was to keep that tench on him. 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.680 He's been doing that in Brooklyn this entire time with 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.720 Kevin Durant. If anyone's been noticing, and this idea that 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.720 he's going to be even happier when a former MVP 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.960 comes in to put him in third place, Why do 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.840 we think that that's gonna go up? This is gonna 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.040 be like George Ga Stanza play now. This is gonna 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:30.680 be great. All right, thank you, thank you? Tomks reference. Yeah, 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.559 he won't leave Kay in Los Angeles? Hi, Kay, how's 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.920 it going? Daniere? The greatest man? Listen, Hard is gonna 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.000 do what he does every year. He's gonna choke. I 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.000 mean for him to get on the podium and say, oh, 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.480 we're just not good enough. I mean, you were good 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.040 enough every year he went to the playoffs. Your performances 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:55.080 weren't good enough. You didn't close. He never closes. And 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:56.959 then I mean, they're a team full of Robbins. I mean, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:01.040 I love Kevin Durant, but I mean with two guys, 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.160 how can you beat Lebron? I mean those guys all 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:07.360 they do a shoot they're not they're not ready, and 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.600 thank you, kay. I think you know we always go 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.360 you just put those players together. It's not that easy 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:20.280 where And I always go back to Kentucky basketball. They 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:25.080 always had great players freshmen, top players in the country, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:29.200 top ten, top five players, best player in high school. 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.840 But then they would come up against a team that 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:36.160 had guys who'd been there three years or four years 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.800 playing together. And there's something to be said about that. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.640 Like Villanova, Villanova doesn't have one and Duns. Virginia doesn't 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.360 have one in Duns and those are the dangerous teams. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.040 Throw in a couple of all stars. Hey, they should 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:54.920 be able to just come down and run and gun. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.440 And once you get to the playoffs and you have 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.520 half court bounds bsketball, That's what I think will be 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:06.439 interesting here because there are a lot of teams that 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.319 are great during the regular season, and then they get 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:13.560 to the postseason, we go what happened? Well, postseason basketball 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.600 is a whole lot different. We're gearing up for you 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.560 for the next two weeks and that's all we care about, 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.240 and then you'll see teams are exposed. I talked to 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:28.080 Charles Barkley about the possibility. This is back on November 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.840 twenty fifth at Barkley on and we weren't sure if 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.120 Harden was going to be traded. If he was going 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.240 to be traded, when would he be traded. I didn't 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.360 think it would be eminent. I thought it would be 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.240 closer to the trade deadline if they he was traded. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.080 But I asked Charles Barkley, do you think the trio 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.880 of Harden, Durant and Kyrie could work? Got zero chance 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:55.760 of working? Zero, you know, because because listen to it. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.800 The guys. Two of the guys listen, there's only so 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.960 many things you can do on a basketball court. When 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:08.040 you're a great player. You can win a game offensively, defensively, rebounding, 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.240 or assisting. Two of those guys just want to score, 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:17.040 and it's not going to work. Durant, he proved that 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.720 he can play some defense with the Warriors. But the 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:23.679 other two guys are terrific offensive players, but neither one's 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.880 a great defender. They're not great at passing the ball. 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:31.520 And listened, the two of the other guys gonna be pissed, 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.720 but they're just standing around watching one of those other 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:38.959 guys dribble. So I would love to see that experiment. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.560 Well we're going to. I don't know when we'll see it, 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:47.480 because I wondered aloud when James Harden makes his debut, 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.400 is Kyrie Irving going to be on the floor? And 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:54.480 I would say probably not. Jesse and Los Angeles, Hey Jess, 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.880 welcome back. Hey p thanks for taking my call. YEP. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.680 My opinion regarding the trade, I'll give that first. I 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.880 personally liked these super teams because it's high level entertain 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.000 the basketball in the playoffs, and when you have a 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.280 guy like the Greek three who seems in stoppable of times, 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.720 the Miami and Boston affili teams, I think it's just 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.880 be so much fun. And if these guys make the 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.160 finals somehow, how about Lebron and Anthony Davis in the finals. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.840 That would be awesome to see. But I did some 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.720 research last night on salaries in the NBA, and I 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.280 was wondering if you could fire up to the old 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.960 school original stat of the day. Oh okay, all right, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.680 Well there's a lot of requests here. Today. Here's a 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:48.080 Saturday with a huge trade from yesterday. The combined salary, 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.199 the Big three of Katie, Kyrie and Hard for the 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.720 twenty twenty one season will be one hundred and twelve million. 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.000 That's great. I mean, total of five teams in the 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.800 NBA this year, then Nick, the Hornets, the Pistons, the 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:11.520 Thunder and of course my lonely decrimento Kings. Well done, Jess, 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.960 thank you. I appreciate that stat of the day. I 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.040 like that he called he called his shot. Here's what 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.360 he did. He called his shot. Yes, we get a 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:19.679 fact check that. How do we know he was that? 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.959 I don't know, but he sounded good. Okay, now we're 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.080 gonna fact check. Now you want to. I mean, you 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.120 wouldn't make that up, so we'll give him credit. Yeah, 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.480 I'm good with that. I was watching the Knicks last 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:37.600 night against the Nets. Remember it started. There was like 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.520 a small window where hey, the Knicks five and three, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:46.160 and I go, are people watching the Knicks play? Because 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:51.960 I watched them play, And I go, uh, Julius Randall man, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.199 he's sitting a couple of threes. And I do think 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.640 Julius Randall is a good player. He's a twenty ten guy. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.800 But I don't know if you look at RJ. Barrett 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:05.520 and he's a great player, and they have some players, 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.720 but they don't have the player. Yes, mclub. I feel 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.360 like Julius Randall came to a time machine from nineteen 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:15.000 eighty two. It looks like an old school power for Yes, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.040 he does, Yes he does. Paul, he was asking if 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.880 he's ever donked in a game. I guess he does. 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.080 But he's like a less range Zach Randolph. Yeah, he 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.760 just kind of camps out there and passes and scores. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.360 You could score, no, but he can shoot. He's got 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.680 a nice shot, and you know he's just he's on 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.800 a bad team there. So I don't if you're waiting 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.200 for the Knicks to come back and they ain't coming back. Here, 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.360 there's a team where not having a crowd, it's it's 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.360 like trumpeted. I was watching that game last thing. There's 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.200 Kevin Durant versus the Knicks. This should be a raad 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.640 game and it's just dead quiet. Yeah, well it might 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.360 be that way when they have a crowd and be 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.120 dead quiet. There. Let you see what else to well, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.400 Jeff and Detroit. We'll get to Jeff. Hey, Jeff, what's 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.200 on your mind today? Hey? What up? Though? One time? 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.800 The shot row just sitting here listening until your re 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.000 are yesterday when you and Chris Mannox we're talking about this, 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.560 and you said that it sounded like an exit interview. 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:09.720 Chris says, well, it seems like they will probably be 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.280 trying to get something for the trade and be a 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.440 you know some what. I guess patient next thing, you know, 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.480 he gets traded. So you guys don't dog Chris too much. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.440 My question to you, though, is this dan three years 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.040 dollars the line. Who's going to be the beneficiary of 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:29.160 this trade? Will it be Houston or Brooklyn? Well, I 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.000 think Brooklyn has a chance to win a championship, Thank you, Jeff. 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.880 You know, Houston's not doing anything over the next three years. Now, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.360 we might they might luck into a big time player 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:43.520 with these draft picks. Maybe, I don't even like I'm 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.600 wondering how many of these draft picks are used by 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:50.520 the Houston Rockets. That's what I'm curious about, because they 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.360 may package these picks. And I will tell you this, 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.760 Gems don't value draft picks the way they once did. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.040 You know, Brooklyn's in it right now. Brooklyn wants to 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.960 win a championship. Now, that's that's all this is about. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.800 You're not going, hey, we got to build for the future, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:12.320 the futures now. Now there's some teams that the future 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.920 does matter to them. But you know, Houston is going 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.800 to look at this and go, where are we going 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.200 to be in a couple of years. You know, all 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:24.280 the depot's not going to be their boogie cousins won't 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:27.080 be there. You're you're you're not gonna have anybody on 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:32.160 the roster that's on there right now. It's like Oklhoma City. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.240 I though Oklahoma City surprise people and all of a sudden, 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.640 they're like, we're a playoff team. We're actually pretty good, 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.360 and they they made some deals. You know, they got 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.400 rid of some players. Chris Paul turned out to be 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.440 a wonderful addition, But I think they were surprised that 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.560 they were going to be a playoff team. And Houston's 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.680 first round pick belongs to Oklhoma City this year. They 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.520 can't tank, so it's not like you go, let's get 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:59.040 rid of Harden and we don't care about winning. They 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.480 have to win. They don't want to give Oklhoma City 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:04.760 a great pick, But I don't think these gems care 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.120 about these picks at all. Yeah, Paul, you talk about 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.320 the rosters who they're good team Oklhoma City. But as 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:15.440 far as names that people know, Shay Gilgas, Alexander, Dia, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.760 Lugans Dort, I know you're a Lugans Dort guy, but 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:21.240 most people aren't. Yeah, most are the top three. I 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.720 love Shay Gilgas, Alexander. I think he's a but he's 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.320 playing in Oklhoma City and nobody's ever going to talk about. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.120 But he is a really good player, and I think 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.800 people started to notice that a little bit more last 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.520 year because Oklahoma City played well. I think he's very talented. 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.600 Is he a star? Probably not, but is he very good? Yes? 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.080 Do they miss Paul George in Oklahoma City? No, they 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:49.960 do not. But Brooklyn's all in on this. I just 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.760 want to see how that works. Where you know, basketball 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.879 is about spacing, and usually we'll have two stars on 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.359 a team. But if you go back in NBA history 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.440 and you'll see a lot of these teams had three stars, 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.240 you know, Jordan and Pippen. Then you had Rodman, or 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.600 you had Coup coach. You had that third guy. But 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.320 the third guy knew exactly what he was supposed to do. 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.000 Rodman knew what he was supposed to do. Ku coach 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.320 knew what he was supposed to do. Even Pippen knew 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.679 what he was supposed to do. Chris Bosh and Miami 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.639 knew what he was supposed to do. Chris Bosh, to me, 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.680 was the most important ingredient in that Miami Heat success 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.320 because I'm gonna let Lebron and Duane Wade they can 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.040 alternate nights of who's the star and whose team and 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.679 who takes last night. Chris Bosh an All Star, He's 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.040 gonna be a Hall of Famer. He had to pick 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.800 his spots and understand the ball's not going through me. 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.280 Kevin Love, Kevin Loved. The ball went through him in 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.479 Minnesota and he was an All Star, put up thirty 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.600 thirty one night. He had to understand his role. He 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.840 was the third guy in with the Lebron and Kyrie 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.919 with Olden State. The brilliance of what they did is 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:09.879 they sort of made it Kevin Durant's team, Draymond Greene, 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:13.240 Steph Clay, they all sort of had to defer to 0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:16.280 him because they recruited him, and they said, come in, 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.800 let's play. Let's win championships. If you have the stars 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.440 who understand it. Look at the Celtics with Bird, McHale 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:31.199 and Parrish, Bird Star best player. McHale was unstoppable and 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.120 probably could have averaged twenty five to thirty points if 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:38.040 he was the guy. Robert Parrish Hall of Famer, but 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.360 they had to understand their role. Look at the Lakers, 0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:46.720 James Worthy, Kareem Magic, you had to understand your role. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.520 And that's really going to be the key with Brooklyn. 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.359 Are you going to be able to understand how do 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.880 we make this team better? Each other better? And that's 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:02.600 going to be the danger ingredient in all of this, 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:07.480 because can Kde make everybody better? Is it his team now? 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.320 Kyrie checks out when he comes back. James Harden's ball dominant. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.000 It's not as easy as you think it's going to be, 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.399 and you lose depth. You got Joe Harris, but you 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.879 don't have the depth you once had. You're top heavy. 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.840 You better be great, but not great during the regular season, 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.160 great during the postseason. Twenty one after the hour, we'll 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.479 talk to Frank Eye Solo more about this coming up. 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:37.560 More phone calls as well.

Charles Barkley will join us a little 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.679 bit later on today. Once again, the big story is 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.480 Urban Meyer and the Jaguars are close to finalizing a 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.960 deal for Urban to take over as the head coach there, 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.280 and you might have a press conference by the end 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:49.639 of the day. We have been trying to decipher exactly 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.040 who won, who lost. What's in store for us with 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.800 the NBA with James Harden and that trade. When Kyrie 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:58.920 comes back? Whose team is it? And we love to 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:01.680 throw out these question Who's going to take the last shot? 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.639 Whose team is this? Who's that? I don't know? How 0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.639 about we get Kyrie back and start there. Frank I 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.439 solo is covering the NBA and has been doing so 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:14.480 for decades series x M NBA Radio, the Starting Lineup, 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.000 Hoost ESPN, Around the Horn, Pardon the Interruption contributor and 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:22.000 also works pre and post with the Nets, and we 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.480 thought Frank would be a great person to have on. Frank, 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:28.640 how do you feel about your Nets after this deal? Well, 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.520 it's certainly a blockbuster, Dan, and I think, you know, 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.399 a couple of things happened early on in the season. 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.119 Spencer didn't what he went down, and then the situation 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:37.880 with Kyrie Irving. So I think for the Brooklyn Nets, 0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.840 when you got a guy like Kevin Durant, you know 0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:42.760 your window is now. It's not about the past, it's 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:44.639 not about the future. And obviously they gave up a 0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.440 lot of their future with those draft picks. I think 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.320 you owe it to yourself and to Kevin Durant to 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.159
