1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: What is up, straight bar faym, It's me Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Monday, July fourteenth. It is Major League

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: Baseball All Star Week. You got the home run derby,

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: you got the All Star Game. Everybody fired up about

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: some of these All Star picks. Oh my god, sorry, guys.

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: I looked at the uh, looked at the roster, said

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't think I can offer much to add to

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: the MLB All Star rosters. But luckily Rob G and

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 2: I reunited. We haven't actually chopped it up in a minute,

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: because you know, I was out of town and he's

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: obviously always busy. Robbed you with the two kids under

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: three years old, that's always difficult. But he is joining

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: me today and now you know he got some decent

15
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Nothing amazing happened over the weekend. I know you guys

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: want the transition of football badly, but I mean, I'm looking,

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: there isn't Jack Squad happening, you know, Patrick Mahone saying

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: some stuff like there just isn't a lot going on

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: in the world of NFL. There is, however, huge news

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: involving Klay Thompson dating a celebrity. Oh yeah, that was

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: like the biggest thing I saw on my feet all weekend.

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: Clay Thompson now dating Meg the Stallion. I mean, I'm

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: dimly familiar with her work, and I guess they went

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: Instagram official. So shout out to Clay Thompson, who, now

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: I guess uh is dating Meg the Stallion. I don't

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: really know where to go with that, rob g, but

27
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: you could probably build at least a thirty thirty minute

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: segment out of can Meg the Stallion do for the

29
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Warriors what Taylor Swift did for the Chiefs, obviously taking

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: them over the top into Super No, she didn't do that.

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, it was a fun run they had.

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: I think it's over you guys don't my take on

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. But yeah, it was just it was one

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: of those slow weekends, and honestly, if we're being real,

35
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 2: the biggest news involved the NBA Summer League, not anything

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 2: that happened on the court, but something that happened court side.

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: Lebron James showed up to watch his son and Dave

38
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: mcmanhaman who was on the podcast shoot I think last

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: month goes up to Lebron Hey Lebron was wondering if

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: you'd want to talk about the summer and your future

41
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: plans with Lakers, and he's like, I don't have anything

42
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: to talk about. And that was that, and of course

43
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: this got robbed g a little nervous Laker Nation. Oh no,

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Lebron's pissed. I don't know, it's July. He's letting his

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: son have his moment right in the Summer League. Cooper

46
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: Flags now been shut down after he went postal in

47
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: the second game, and it's like, you know, my guess,

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: Rob is this is much ado about nothing. This is

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: Lebron just letting it be known that he's angry. But

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: I ultimately just I've looked at trades from every direction.

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: I don't see anything potentially materializing.

52
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, me either. It's just well, first off, shout out

53
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: to Clay Thompson man. I saw someone say on Twitter

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: over the weekend that in the Klay Thompson sign Introdus

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: in Golden State in Dallas, the real big winner was

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 3: Klay Thompson because now he's with Cooper Flag obviously, and

57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: then he upgraded and he's able to hook up with

58
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: someone like making the Stallion and it's all good. It's

59
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: like the trajectory is just going up right now. We

60
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: thought Clay was on the downworrdy, but apparently he's coming

61
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: back up. See the way City boys we up, you know.

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: But with the Lebron James situation, what really surprised me

63
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: is that he went on the record himself, like and

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: Dave mcmanhiman shout out to him. He's one of the

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: few guys who talked to Lebron directly. You know. Most

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: people just go through Rich Paul for a lot of stuff,

67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: but he's one of the guys who can get Lebron

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: to put something on the record for things, And even

69
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: as simple as I ain't got nothing to talk about

70
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: really speaks volumes. Because Lebron James, if he wanted to,

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: could have shut all of this down immediately and said, Hey,

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm a Los Angeles Laker, I'm excited to run it

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: with Luke. I think we can unfinished business, point blank, period.

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: And he could still move behind the scenes and try

75
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: to orchestrate his way out of town or try to

76
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: figure out some kind of way to power play his

77
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: way somewhere else. And he didn't. He just kind of

78
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: let it float off into the Ether, and then in

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 3: the midst of that same report, Rich Paul lets it slip, well,

80
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: we had four different teams reach out to see about

81
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: trading for Lebron number one. That is tampering. That is

82
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: flat out illegal in the NBA. So I'm surprised that

83
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: an agent of his stature would just kind of let

84
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: that slip out, like, yeah, I know that he's currently

85
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: under contract, but four different teams already said he likes

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: trade for him, and they've talked to me about his

87
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: interest in joining the team. And it's like, well, I

88
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 3: can't really do that. But thankfully, because it is Lebron

89
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: James and it is Rich Paul and Clutch Sports, and

90
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: they have a lot of people around the league that

91
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: they talk to. Even if Lebron doesn't talked to him,

92
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: Rich Paul talks to damn near everybody. I can tell

93
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 3: you that for a fact. And Scoop Bee, who's been

94
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: on this show before a couple years ago, went on

95
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 3: the record. He says, Hey, I know who the four

96
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: teams are that reached out and talked about Lebron, Dallas,

97
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: Golden State, Cleveland, and the Clippers. So Jam, I'm gonna

98
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: running back to you Number one, do you believe that

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: those four teams did reach out? And yes, whatever the

100
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: answer is, do you see any realistic avenue for any

101
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: of those four teams to get the King?

102
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: So let's go through them. Okay, So right out of

103
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: the gate, everybody's been speculating Dallas because of the Kyrie

104
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 2: connection and Ad. Obviously the Lakers just did le Luca

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: deal with Dico Harrison at Dallas. They absolutely pulled off

106
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: a heist in that trade. Everybody agrees, regardless of what

107
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: has happened since it was a heist. There's no way

108
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: the Lakers are going back to that deal. They're not

109
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: giving up Cooper Fly. The Lakers have no interest in Clay.

110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: They're not giving up Ad. They're not giving up Kyrie.

111
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: He's injured. So what are you getting?

112
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: Do you really think the.

113
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: Lakers are giving up a second team All NBA guy

114
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: and Lebron for like Daniel Gafford and Klay Thompson and hey,

115
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: you could take back super Max Christy and then here,

116
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't even know what the map is draft. There's

117
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: no way the Lakers are doing that. I don't see that.

118
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: And you could dream all you want about flag, There's

119
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: no way that they're not trading Cooper Flag. So then

120
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: it becomes would they trade ad And I'm like, back

121
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: to the Lakers, the Lakers traded into None of it

122
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: makes sense to me. Is there any world I would

123
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: give Dallas zero percent chance to get Lebron zero percent?

124
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 3: I gotta go a little bit in that.

125
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: What do you have it at two?

126
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: Somewhere in the ten to fifteen percent?

127
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: What?

128
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: Now, again, you got to factor this in that I've

129
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: said on the record, what is about three weeks ago

130
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: when this whole thing first started a bubble over that

131
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: I were to put the chances of Lebron actually changing

132
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: teams at ten or fifteen percent. So ten to fifteen

133
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: percent of ten to fifteen percent is what like two percent? Whatever?

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: I'm not a math patition, but and we'll get to

135
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: the other teams here in a second. If you just

136
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: look at the salaries and you know this apron bullshit

137
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: that we keep having to deal with, when you factor

138
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff in, Dallas is one of

139
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 3: only a couple of teams that actually could make the deal.

140
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 3: Now it might not be a great deal, but they

141
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: could cobble together the aforementioned legend. Klay Thompson, Hey man,

142
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: make it still to come to LA. You know, you

143
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: can put Clay in, Gafford in Washington and.

144
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, I just looked it up. Gafford's

145
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: making fourteen mil next year then eighteen eighteen eighteen. The

146
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: Lakers don't want to be taking on salary, like.

147
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree with you.

148
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: PJ. Washington is expiring though, but Clay sixteen, Gafford fourteen,

149
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: you know, plus whatever, So that thirty one. Essentially between

150
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 2: those two PJ. Washington fourteen, you're only up to forty

151
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: five mil Lebron, so you still need another seven mil.

152
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: Max Christy, Max Christy, maybe Nauseie Marshall whatever. That that

153
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: does nothing for me a bunch of let's a you know,

154
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: I hate to use the word poop pooh platter here,

155
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: but Rob, is that not the definition of poo Clay Gafford,

156
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: PJ and Max Christy.

157
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: It's not ideal. And even if from the Dallas perspective,

158
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: you know, Kyrie realistically is out till February or March

159
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: next year. So even if you were to make a

160
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: deal like this and the Lakers somehow said yes, you're

161
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: talking about ad Lebron James, D'Angelo Russell and uh Derek

162
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: Lively Derek Cooper Flag. So basically you're talking about the

163
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Lakers moving to Dallas from two years

164
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: ago and just adding Cooper Flag, a rookie Cooper Flag

165
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 3: and Derek Glavely missed most of the last season with

166
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 3: an injury. Like is that team a championships? Probably not,

167
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: you know, so like what are we doing here? And

168
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: that's a joy?

169
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,479
Speaker 2: So okay, So let me just ask you Clay Gafford,

170
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: PJ and Max Christy over under half an All Star

171
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: Game combined for them in the rest of their careers.

172
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: Oh? Under?

173
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: Yes, zero. So I don't know where you're taking on

174
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: Gafford's bad deal. Yeah, I don't see it happening, So

175
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: let's rule them out. So MAVs were one who was

176
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: the second list on the second team on Scoops one

177
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: Golden State. So that's the one where it's like, okay,

178
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: do you just want to swap Jimmy Butler for Lebron?

179
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: And I like Jimmy Butler as much as anybody, but

180
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. I'm sorry, I'm just I'm not

181
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: giving up Lebron for Jimmy Butler. I don't Does Jimmy

182
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: Butler work with Luca? I don't know. I mean, we've

183
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: seen Lebron and Luca do fairly well outside of the

184
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: Minnesota series. I don't know. Is that an upgrade? Are

185
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: the Lakers better with Jimmy Butler than they are with Lebron?

186
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: No?

187
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so she could we cross the off the list?

188
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: Ok So what's number three?

189
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: It's so then you move down the list. Now Cleveland,

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: And that's the one that's been speculated about since Lebron

191
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: put out this passive aggressive statement through Rich Paul, and

192
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: we talked about it about this podcast ad nauseum because

193
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: we thought, hey, he's going back home. It's perfect sense,

194
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 3: you know, all this synergy. Lebron the King returns to

195
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 3: Cleveland for the farewell tour and it sounds great. And

196
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: then Bobby Marks ESPN, you know, Capologist basically shoots down

197
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: the entire thing. Any imagination, any images you had of

198
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: Lebron and the return. You're like, well, they have to

199
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: cut like sixty million dollars in salary just to even

200
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 3: have a negotiation because they're so deep in salary. Cap Hell,

201
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: you can't even do it. And you're like, oh, well,

202
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: that's not fun, Like like we can't even theorize the

203
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: idea of Lebron and not of in Mitchell net Like no, no, no,

204
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: you can't because they got to just to even have

205
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: a conversation, just to even open the trade docs. You'd

206
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: be like, hey, someone has to take DeAndre a hundred

207
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: for nothing, so we've gotta take Max Strews for nothing, basically,

208
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: and it's like, well, who's taking on forty million dollars

209
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: for nothing?

214
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was that bleak. And it's not

215
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: like they could just they wouldn't do this. But Evan

216
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: Mobley is an ascending player. I think he was All

217
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year. I mean, he's gonna be

218
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: making a lot of money for a long time. He's

219
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: probably got another fifteen years, ten to fifteen years in

220
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: the league. Lebron's not like one or two. You're not

221
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: giving up Evan Mobley, right, I don't think you're giving

222
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: up Donovan Mitchell. But it sounds like you don't even

223
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: think or Bobby Marks doesn't even think that's feasible.

224
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: No, Like at the time, the popular trade package that

225
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: people floated out was Alan and Garland for lebron.

226
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: Al Jared Allen and Darius Garland.

227
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: I need ways more than that, and those I mean,

228
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: those guys in the vacuum are good players like that,

229
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: those two alone, I think is better than anything that

230
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: Dallas could offer. But then the problem is, like you mentioned,

231
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: you're taking on what is that one hundred and forty

232
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: undred thirty million dollars Darius Garland, You're taking on sixty

233
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: eight one hundred and twenty million dollars of Jared Allen,

234
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: and then on top of that they'd have to offload

235
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: like thirty million dollars in salary for nothing.

236
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: So this is where people were saying that the new

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: CBA like killed free agency. My guess is, and this

238
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: technl is a free agency. This would be a trade.

239
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 2: But this is kind of what they were meaning, Like

240
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: all the excitement of ooh, could this guy ask out?

241
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: Could he go here? It just gets so complicated now.

242
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: And the last team was I think you said the Clippers.

243
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: I just don't envision any scenario where Lebron decides I'm

244
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: going to go across town to play basketball, Like why

245
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: inferior everything except maybe arena, which is really nice? And again,

246
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: riddle me this, how on earth are we getting Lebron

247
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: to the Clippers? Like what are the Clippers giving back?

248
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: Zubach Bogdanovic, John Cott, I don't know whatever it is, like,

249
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 2: it just doesn't make sense. And I don't know, Rob.

250
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: It's almost depressing to kind of think about this stuff

251
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: because people are like, well, Lebron wants out. It's just

252
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: not happening, right, I mean, is there a world where

253
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: he just says I'm walking away from basketball? Do use

254
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: second t bawl NBA last year?

255
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: Why would he do that? I don't know. And you

256
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: know what's funny is there's this weird narrative that reputable

257
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: sports media NBA insiders like, well, what if he just

258
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: gets a buyout from Lakers? Like why on earth would

259
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: the Lakers give Lebron the favor of yeah, well, we'll

260
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: eat fifty two million dollars against the cap to you know,

261
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: make sure you're happy like that. That just doesn't make

262
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 3: any sense. It's not like Lebron James and this might

263
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: be an issue that he's gonna run into, or has

264
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 3: run into a little bit in his career, is that

265
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: outside of Cleveland, and even then it ended poorly the

266
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: first time, Lebron doesn't get that same goodwill with fan

267
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: bases that you know, Kobe God, that Dirt God that

268
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: Tim Duncan got, you know, like Steph Curry currently gets

269
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 3: Joannis currently gets because Lebron James made himself a mercenary

270
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: similar to what Kevin Durant is doing right now. It's like,

271
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: you show up places, you know, post the first Cleveland stint.

272
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: You show up places you try to dictate the terms

273
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: of what's gonna happen around you. You try to strong

274
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 3: arm the organization into getting your coach, your players, your system,

275
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: like everything has to evolve around Lebron James. And on

276
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: top of that, he's gonna put pressure on you based

277
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 3: on either the way that he does these passive aggressive

278
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: tweets or statements or whatever, or as simple as I'm

279
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: only signing one plus one deals so that I'm always

280
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: putting my finger on the button so that if you

281
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: don't do what I want, I'm gonna eject ocdo out

282
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 3: of here, and you're gonna to figure it out. And

283
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: when you do stuff like that, even though it works

284
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: at the time, now that Lebron is gonna be forty

285
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: one years old, he doesn't necessarily have like that goodwill

286
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: built up with the Lakers, like, hey, we're gonna do

287
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: you as solid because everything you've done for us. It's

288
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: like no, no, no, working that way with you.

289
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: I guess my only counter is his strategy works. It's

290
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: not like one of these and I don't want to

291
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: invoke Richard Gear from Pretty Woman, but there's a lot

292
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: of other examples of these business guys, these tycoons who

293
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: just buy a business, take it over, chop a bunch

294
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: of heads, change a couple things, and then sell it

295
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: and make a profit. Sure, because of all the changes,

296
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: Lebron says, I can come in, you guys can operate

297
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: around me. I'm the son of your solar system, right

298
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: and make moves and we'll win championships. And it worked

299
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: when he went to Miami, it worked when he went

300
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: back to Cleveland, it worked when he went to Lakers. However,

301
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: he's now forty years old, well forty and a half,

302
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: and you're looking around and you're like, well, nobody's really

303
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 2: gonna do that anymore unless some you know, you can't

304
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: use Orlando anymore. But like, I don't know, Rob could

305
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: could Charlotte think, you know, let's just forget this LaMelo

306
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: ball experiment. Not not this year right now, obviously, but

307
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: what if we just built around Lebron and Brandon Miller

308
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: will have sold out arena every night? Hey, come on, Bronni,

309
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: you come with come with Dad. You know we'll put

310
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: you guys. I mean there's teams that are desperate around

311
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: the league, just completely desperate to be relevant and pack

312
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: their arena. And then maybe you get to the playoffs

313
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: in the East and you host to you know, host

314
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: a couple of playoff games, maybe you win a playoff.

315
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't think, Rob, You don't tell me

316
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bulls wouldn't kill to get Lebron and Bronni.

317
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: I mean they're an awful spot financially, their rosters crap.

318
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: I can't tell you. The last time they want a

319
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: playoff series might have been like with Leuell Bang and

320
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: Joe Kim. Noah, they haven't been anything for fifteen years. Lebron,

321
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: I guarantee. I don't know if the salaries would match up,

322
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: but if you take Lebron and Bronni, forget Bronnie. If

323
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: you just put Lebron on the Chicago Bulls, I would

324
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 2: guess that they'd be top eight in the East. I

325
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: was just a guess that might be a bit of

326
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: a reach, like a Josh Kitty Kobe White.

327
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 3: You know, well, I.

328
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 2: Technically I don't think they have Josh Kitty right now. Yeah,

329
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: restricted free, but yeah, yeah, just give me some shooters,

330
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 2: give me some defense. Oh, actually their team is quite bad.

331
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

332
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: Well see, going back to your original point, I think

333
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: that is why. And this goes back to the podcast

334
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: we did when all this first happened. The first team

335
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 3: that you and I both addressed was Cleveland because of

336
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: the homecoming, but the one right after that was the Knicks.

337
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: And it satisfies a lot of the things that you mentioned.

338
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: Number one is, hey, if we get Lebron and we

339
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: have the biggest star of the sport playing at the

340
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: mecca of basketball, and it's just becomes a a I mean,

341
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: they don't have problem selling tickets anyways, but it becomes

342
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: a moment in time. Man. You got Lebron at Madison

343
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 3: Square Garden on a Saturday night, hosting the Lakers or

344
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 3: whatever it is, Like it's a storyline, it's something that

345
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: people are gonna care about. And James Dolan is one

346
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 3: of those guys who cares about the headlines. And that's

347
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 3: part of the reason why I think he moved off

348
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 3: of Tips is because he's like, hey, I wanted to

349
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 3: win the offseason kind of a thing and this guy

350
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: is just not doing it for me. Didn't work out

351
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: for him, But like he's one of those he's a

352
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones type where he just likes the idea of

353
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: his team, you know, being you know, notable, like people

354
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 3: want to talk about him, but you also consider your point.

355
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 3: The Eastern Conference is really watered down. There are avenues

356
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: where you could add Lebron James and still keep a

357
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: really strong roster around him, and you would think that

358
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: that would make sense. But then the what people don't

359
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 3: even realize is Mike Brown gave an off the cuff

360
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: interview to some one of his friends that he knows

361
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: on his way out the door heading into New York,

362
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: say hey, what about these rumors about Lebron and the Knicks,

363
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: And rather than laugh it off or just kind of say, ah,

364
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 3: you know what, I wonry about my team, he says

365
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: directly to this guy, and it's been reported, Yeah, I

366
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: traded my wings for it for Lebron like crazy. And

367
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 3: as soon as you put that out there, it kind

368
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 3: of pours water on it because I'm sure if I

369
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 3: saw it, I bet you Lebron saw it or someone

370
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 3: in his camp saw and it's like, well, oh, they

371
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 3: don't want me there either. Now what.

372
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: It's a listen man. It's never easy when you get older,

373
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: you know. I think even in the NFL, Joe Montana

374
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: was the superstar and then he got injured and Steve

375
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: Young kind of takes the spot and where's Montanagal and

376
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: he goes to Casey He was fine. I'm pretty sure

377
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: they made the playoffs, but like that was it, you know,

378
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: even something like Cam Newton, like nobody wanted that guy

379
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: at the end. Now, Lebron's at the height of his power,

380
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: is still at least ninety percent of what he used

381
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: to be, would you say or is that too high?

382
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: I think that kind of short changed how good he

383
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 3: was during like the heat and the second Calves era especially.

384
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually, you're right. He went to the finals eight

385
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: years in a row.

386
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: Kick out, he's probably like seventy five eighty percent, but

387
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 3: the way the way the league has shifted, he still

388
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 3: is as effective or almost as effective as ever.

389
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, whereas a guy like Cam Newton just fell off

390
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 2: a cliff. You know, he goes to the Patriot and

391
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: had like a couple of moments they didn't make the playoffs.

392
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: Then I was like, yeah, it's Mac Jones is gonna

393
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 2: be the guy. And then you know Cam's bouncing around

394
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 2: and there's nothing like Lebron is doing things that are

395
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: just insane and it's crazy. Somebody had posted this stat

396
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: on I don't remember where I saw it, but they said,

397
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: you know, Lebron was the MVP of the Finals for

398
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: three different franchises. Just think about that for a second.

399
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 2: A lot of guys you just want to be the

400
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: Finals MVP once. Imagine doing it twice, going to two

401
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: different places and doing it. Then think about a third.

402
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: So I just poked around real quick, and nobody has

403
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: been a World Series MVP for three different teams. Okay,

404
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: this stuff just doesn't happen. It definitely has not happened

405
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: in basketball. And I could not find three different MVPs

406
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: in Super Bowls, And I I'm not sure, rob I

407
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: don't think Tom Brady was the MVP when he went

408
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 2: to Tampa in the Super Bowl. I think it was

409
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 2: somebody from the defense because they just destroyed Patrick Mahones

410
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: with a bunch of sacks. But it was like, do

411
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 2: you actually know how hard that is to win a

412
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: championship somewhere, be the best player in the championship, then

413
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 2: go to another team, get to the championship, be the

414
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: best player there, and then do it a third time.

415
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: And I think, like, again, people don't take that into

416
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: consideration when the goat topic is up. Oh well, Michael

417
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: Jordan wanted six times. Jordan got in a great perfect

418
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 2: spot in Chicago. The magic Larry Isaiah faded out. There

419
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: was really nobody to challenge him unchecked. He never even

420
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 2: won seven games in the finals and just rolled it

421
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: for the first three quits, comes back, wins another three

422
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: with a really, really good team, and it's it's just odd,

423
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: Robbed that Lebron doesn't get more credit for doing that.

424
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, part of me, yeah, there's a little

425
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 2: part of me that would love to see him have

426
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: a fourth chance to be a finals MVP for a

427
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: fourth Francis, I think that's impossible. But given what we've

428
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: seen for Lebron on over the last twenty years, I

429
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: don't think you'd rule out anything, can you.

434
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: Going back to Tom Brady, he did win Super Bowl MVP,

435
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: and that he did. Okay, he, even though he was

436
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: very didn't have to do a whole of a lot.

437
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: How was he in that game?

438
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 3: Final numbers look not too bad, twenty one of twenty

439
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 3: nine for two hundred and one yard three touchdowns. But

440
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: you know you recalled it.

441
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: But okay, that's fine, that's true. I was, yeah, that's fine.

442
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 2: So I was wrong. So Tom Brady won it with

443
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 2: the Yeah that Patriots and.

444
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: Bucks the defense blew the doors off of that in

445
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: that game. He didn't really have to do ahole of

446
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: a lot.

447
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, Tom, come back and go win it with

448
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: a third team. Sure, Well, okay, so would be the

449
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 2: equival Lebron. Here's the thing with Lebron, and this is

450
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: I agree with you the general sentiment. I guess to

451
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: play Devil's Advocate. Just to further the conversation, could you

452
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: almost argue that him winning an MVP or winning a

453
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: championship with three different teams is almost I can call it negative,

454
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: but it is not as impressive when you consider any

455
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: player worth their salt is not bouncing around like that.

456
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: Like if you look back at some of the greatest

457
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 2: players ever, they're one team for most ninety percent of

458
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 2: their career, especially during their prime years, because they are

459
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: just gonna keep going at it, like, Hey, I'm gonna

460
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 2: if I don't win it this year, I want to

461
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: run it back and I'm gonna try to do it again.

462
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 2: And Lebron's attitude has for basically the last seventy percent

463
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 2: of his career has been if I can't do it here,

464
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: I'll go somewhere else and do it someoney's gonnave me

465
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: a better chance. And that's a different outlook than what

466
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 2: you had guys like Jordan, Magic Bird, Duncan, Kobe, you know, Haquem.

467
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: I guess Shaq would be the closest comparison because Shaq

468
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 2: hopped around a little bit. But like this idea of

469
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: guys changing teams not just like to chase a ring,

470
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: but to do it in the middle of your prime

471
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 2: is a relatively new thing. Yeah, I don't. I wonder

472
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: Ifu'll see that anymore, Like, well SGA just get bored

473
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: in OKAYC and say, you know what, I'm out. I

474
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: wanna go win a championship somewhere.

475
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: Else, like I'm gonna go partner up with Polo Benko

476
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 3: or something like that.

477
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I like an applaud what Lebron has done.

478
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: But I did see an interesting stat up. I don't

479
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 2: know it exactly, but I guess the majority of people

480
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: in America end up moving like less than one hundred

481
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: miles away from where they grew up, and that's where

482
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: they end up like living and raising a family. And

483
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: it's because a lot of people are just kind of

484
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 2: either afraid or cautious or they want to stay around

485
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: the known as if they're the unknown is fearful, and

486
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: the majority of people stay close to where they grew up.

487
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: And and maybe this is why I'm so pro Lebron.

488
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: You know, I packed my Some of my family did

489
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: think I was a little crazy when I was like, yeah,

490
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: we're moving to Los Angeles, you know, and what you

491
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 2: don't know anybody out there. O God, I am TV Opportunity.

492
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: Can't turn that down, you know. And it's risky. It

493
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 2: was risky, this is now you're nine here, close to

494
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: signing a new deal which would take us for a

495
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: few more years. So I think a lot of people

496
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: are afraid to do that. And it's similar in the NBA,

497
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: Like you're drafted, they have you for five, six, seven years.

498
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: You put down roots, right, maybe you meet a girl,

499
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: you get married, the community loves you, your jersey sales.

500
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: It's tough to walk away from that.

501
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 3: Man.

502
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: I think it's tougher to walk away than it is

503
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: to stay. Yeah, and for like Kevin Durant to leave

504
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: OKC and all that venom, he was just bring all

505
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: the smoke. I don't care, Lebron, I don't give a shit.

506
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 2: I got to do what's best for me. And that's

507
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 2: why I applaud these guys for jumping around. I mean,

508
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 2: it's so easy for Devin Booker to be like, yeah,

509
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: I'll take seventy two and a half million dollars. Sure,

510
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: But if Devin Booker really looked in the mirror and said, well, shit,

511
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: I'm not winning anything here. We cooked I'm not top eight.

512
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 2: I don't think I think we're playing in the next

513
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: couple of years. It's tough to do that and then

514
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: say I want out. A lot of people don't want

515
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 2: the hate and the venom. They don't want to wear

516
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 2: the black hat. If you will and be disliked by everybody,

517
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 2: and it's not just the people in your community, then

518
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: it's everybody in the country. Rob, All other fans are like, wait,

519
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: remember when Paul George asked out of Indiana. He was

520
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: like sad admitting that he wants out, he wants to

521
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 2: go west, and everybody's like, you're a loser, you just

522
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: want to go.

523
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 3: Well, it led to him reupping in Oklahoma City. It did,

524
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: That's right, Like he was so worried to the blowback

525
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 3: is I'm just gonna reup and get unfinished. And then

526
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 3: not even a year later he's like, I'm gone. Yeah.

527
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: I mean, Kawhi asking out of San Antonio is very strange,

528
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: ends up in Toronto for a year, and you know,

529
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: nobody hated him for leaving. I guess because he won

530
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 2: them a chip. But like, this idea of sticking around

531
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: is just so much easier than it is leaving it

532
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 2: and that, I guess my long way of saying to

533
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: your point was, yeah, I don't think it's a knock

534
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: on Lebron that he's moving around all the time. It's

535
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: like Jim Harball, is there is there a similarity. Jim

536
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: Harball kind of wears people down. He goes to stand

537
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: for for a few years, Wins, moves on, Niners for

538
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: a few years, Wins, moves on Michigan, Wins moves on.

539
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: Is there a similarity there? I mean, it's different because

540
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: it's a player versus coach, but some people are just

541
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 2: built to bounce around.

542
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's it is a weird or not weird.

543
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: It's an unusual thing historically from what we're used to

544
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 3: because nobody impacts their sport more than an NBA player,

545
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 3: I guess than NFL quarterbacks. Yeah, like that's the otherwise.

546
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 3: You can you can be a fantastic wide receiver and

547
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: it won't really matter because you need a lot of

548
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: things to happen for you to have any kind of success.

549
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 3: A quarterback is the only guy who touches the ball

550
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 3: on every play, so he's the one who that's why

551
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: they have wins or not a quarterback sat or they

552
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 3: are quarterbacks back because they're the ones who most directly

553
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 3: impact winning. And that's how it is in the end,

554
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: Na Whare if you are a great player, no matter

555
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: what you have going around you, you impact the game

556
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 3: more than everybody else. Yeah, Like that's just kind of

557
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: the way it is. So I guess, I mean, like,

558
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: who's someone who if with like Aaron Rodgers. But Aaron

559
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 3: Rodgers has moved around at the end of his career.

560
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: It's not like he was, Hey, we're not working. Bj

561
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: Rodger's like slowing down. It costs too much. And Jody

562
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: Nelson's slowing down. So I want out, like you know

563
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like it's it's it's a weird thing.

564
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: Farf did something similar right for the Jets. Yeah, doing

565
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 2: it in the prime. It would be if Josh Allen

566
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: or a home Like, what if Josh Allen doesn't win

567
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl this year? We can't win here, guys

568
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: that demand a trade?

569
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 3: I'm out. Joe Burrow's pissed off at the Bengals for

570
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: not signing defense.

571
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: I would totally I would back him on that, wouldn't you.

572
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: They haven't. They haven't fixed the coach the rosters not great. Yeah,

573
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: if if Joe Burrow said I'm out trade me, I

574
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: would back at one hundred percent, would you not?

575
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I would. It's just it's it's just

576
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: so it's not the norm. Like great players are great

577
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: in their their space wherever they are, Like, that's what

578
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: we're used to, and so to have a guy like

579
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 3: Lebron and Kevin durand obviously the two biggest examples where

580
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 3: they're just like, no, you know what, I'm good, I

581
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: want out, I want to go here, and I'm gonna

582
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: ring Chase here, and I'm gonna go to the next

583
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 3: best situation, the next best situation, And it's like there,

584
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 3: I understand this sentiment was like at some point, like

585
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: don't you want to just Hey, even if we don't

586
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: have the best team, I think I'm that good where

587
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: I can overcome.

588
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Otani couldn't do it himself. But like

589
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 2: you could argue he stayed too long in the with

590
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: the Angels, right, sure, I mean they didn't make the

591
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: playoffs with him, right, no postseason.

592
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: No, never, Mike Trout made the playoffs once.

593
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's a little disappointing. Somebody who is

594
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: gonna make the playoffs, Kaitlyn Clark. It's funny they're calling her.

595
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the same day, b

596
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: Rob Kaitlyn Klank, because she's just continues to miss a

597
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: billion shots. So six games, three before the injury, three

598
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: after the injury, she is a combined six for forty

599
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: two on threes. Nothing's falling now. She made her first

600
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: Sunday against Page Becker's and of course, you know, she

601
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: looks up, thank you, oh my gosh, and they roll

602
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: to victory. The thing that jumps out about Indiana that

603
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm starting to see people pick up on Rob is

604
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: Clark is not playing well and they're kicking some big

605
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: time ass and it's like, oh wait, so they've figured

606
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: some things out because with Clark they play it like

607
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: a different tempo when teams in the WNBA just aren't

608
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: built for it. And once she starts hitting, if she

609
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: gets back to being normal Caitlin Clark, you're probably looking

610
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 2: at a top three team in the league right now.

611
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: They're not. I mean, I don't know, I'll check what

612
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: the standings where they are. I think they're like sixth,

613
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 2: uh one two three, Yeah, they're sixth but again, they're

614
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: not playing great with Clark. She's gonna be fine. She's

615
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 2: a the WNBA All Star Breakers, I guess next weekend,

616
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: so she'll be back in action soon. Like fully healthy,

617
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: one would assume, I don't know what, are you more

618
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 2: excited for? NBA sorry, WNBA All Star Weekend or MLB

619
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: Home Run Derby? And I only asked that because everybody's

620
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 2: expecting Clark to be in the three point contest. I

621
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 2: don't know if it's official or not yet. And then

622
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: of course there's Clark versus Rees. You know, I can't

623
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: imagine an issue at an All Star game, but I

624
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: wouldn't put anything past Angel Reese, who's now wearing T

625
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: shirts with her face and name on them. Have you

626
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: seen this?

627
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: That's next level. I don't know why you don't do that.

628
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. That's really lame, bro. I think

629
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: it's cooler to just wear like an NBA jersey, like

630
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: a Dwayne Wade jersey from like two thousand and seven.

631
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, do you wear jerseys by

632
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: the way, like NBA?

633
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: Not regularly? No, do you own any? Oh? Yeah, I

634
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: have all they're all throwbacks. And I learned that lesson

635
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: a long time ago. I don't get current player jerseys.

636
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's too much movement. But so but do

637
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: you wear them in public.

638
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: Once every three or four years?

639
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: Three or four years does the wife say anything like

640
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 2: it's got.

641
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: To be like, oh, I'm going to a game, or

642
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to the beach and I want to represent

643
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: an old Kobe jersey I have, or you know.

644
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: I got to rep the Momba.

645
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

646
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: Yes, But as far as the All Star for that

647
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: reason you mentioned, yes, the WNBA game, I'm more interested in. Yeah,

648
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: because there there could Based on the way that even

649
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: Kaitlyn Clark is admittedly shirggling, she still gets fouled like

650
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: seventy percent more than the next closest player, it looks

651
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 3: like you just don't call it. So I wonder if

652
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: that might pop off at an All Star game.

653
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 2: The only MLB aspect is the Pirates. Pitcher schemes him

654
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: facing Otani and Judge perhaps back to back could be

655
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: super interesting because I don't think they're going to leave

656
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: him in long right, it's usually an inning.

657
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: Well, he wouldn't, hope because they're in different leagues, so

658
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: he wouldn't face both of them, he faced one of them.

659
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: He oh, I'm sorry, Judge. You gotta face Judge for sure?

660
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: Who would bat probably third? I just want you want

661
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: to see the best against the best.

662
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: Right Yeah? And like that's why I think the Baseball

663
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 3: All Star Game is objectively the best all Star game

664
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: in American pro sports, because even.

665
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: I don't even think the NFL ones happens.

666
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: It doesn't exist anymore. The NBA one is just, you

667
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: know it struggling and baseball at least, even if it's

668
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: only for two a third of an inning or whatever

669
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 3: it is, you're getting the best guy giving his best

670
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: effort for ten pitches, right, you know what I mean?

671
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: Like I would rather see that than some of the

672
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: other stuff we got going on.

673
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So that's a lengthy Monday podcast. If

674
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: you're at the end, I might as well toss this

675
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 2: out there. I will be hosting the Herd again today. Yes,

676

678
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,800

679
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,040
