Speaker 1: will be made, or should be made that'll be coming

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: up eight seven seven three d P. Shell McLevin is

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: gonna have a poll question. We got a play of

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: the day, we got a stat of the day as well.

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if we're going to hear from Kirk

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: D Cousins. We might Fritzie says that the Vikings are

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: efforting Kirk D Cousins after the big win last night.

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: It's a tradition every time he wins a Monday night game,

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Kirk D. Cousins usually joins us on the show. Is

29
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: that right, Ton? That is correct? One for one? We're

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: supposed to be this morning, all right, Vikings beat the

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: Bears nineteen to thirteen. We'll have an update on Drew

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: Brees fractured ribs and collapsed lung. Have that for you

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: coming up as well. The NBA offseason is usually a

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: lot of fun. You have the draft and then you

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: have free agency, and it comes right after the NBA Finals,

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: and typically the NBA owns that stretch of June. You're

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: really and your competition is baseball, But in November a

38
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: lot different, a lot more competition, and even if you're

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: not distracted or we weren't by football, there's still a

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: lot of storylines to grab onto this week. And you

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: have a trade already with Chris Paul going to the

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns, and maybe you get James Harden going to Brooklyn.

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're going to have big name

44
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: free agents hitting the market, and we don't have any

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: idea who these draft prospects are because there was no

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament. That's usually the coming out party where we

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: get introduced to somebody and then we fall in love

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: with them. But the college players didn't get a chance

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: to take that stage, so their names never took hold.

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: You know, the real name that we know is LaMelo Ball,

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: but that's basically because of his family, not necessarily because

52
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: of his play. You got a lot of these players

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: who played overseas, and whoever these guys are, we're going

54
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: to see him soon enough, because the season starts December

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: twenty second. Not a lot of hype this week for

56
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: the draft. The season will be here soon enough to

57
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: keep NBA fans quite busy. But the big story line

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: is James Harden. Once out of Houston. They built this

59
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: team around James hard Remember, James Harden didn't want to

60
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: play with Chris Paul anymore. And they ship him off

61
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: to Oklahoma City and send a ton of draft picks

62
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: with him, because you know, James Harden wanted to play

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: with Russell Westbrook. So Daryl Morey makes the trade the

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: GM and then brings in Russell Westbrook. Now I don't

65
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: know if Russell Westbrook wants out or they're gonna ship

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: him out, and James Harden now wants out as well,

67
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: So their long term odds of keeping Harden are rapidly

68
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: decreasing here. I wonder if you have a style that

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: can keep James Harden there. You know, he's a ball

70
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: dominant player, ball hog. And if you want to go

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn, is he going to be able to get

72
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: back to maybe his role that he played when he

73
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: was in Oklahoma City with Kevin Durant. It's hard to

74
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: go from I get to shoot as much as I

75
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: want every single game to hey, let's move the ball

76
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: around a little bit. I think winning is the great

77
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: elixir here. He's thirty one years of age. He's looking

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: around to everybody he's playing against, and they're all winning.

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: They've all got titles, and he once won. Kevin Durant

80
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: ran into this as well. Oklahoma City looked around. Hey,

81
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: if I want to be recognized one of the ten

82
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: great players of all time, I got to win championships.

83
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: James Harden is nothing more than what Michael Jordan was

84
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: when he first started. He was a highlight reel, fun

85
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: to watch, but there was nothing else attached to it.

86
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: And I think when Phil Jackson came in and is

87
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: able to say to Michael, you know your legacy is

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: going to be just one of the great scores of

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: all time, why not be one of the great winners

90
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: of all time. I don't know if James Harden cares

91
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: about that. I know Kevin Durant cares about his legacy.

92
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: I don't know if Kyrie does. But if you're going

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: to put those three together and they understand what their

94
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: roles are or what they want to play, can they

95
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: play a Golden State style of offense? Would be my

96
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: big curiosity there. And we'll talk to Woas about this

97
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: because I think it looks like a hot mess because

98
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: you've got a new coach, Steve Nash never coached before,

99
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: Mike D'Antoni is there on the roster as an assistant coach,

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: and then you're going to bring in James Harden, and

101
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Kyrie and Kevin Durant and who's running

102
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: the team. And it feels like everybody's going to take

103
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: their turn and I'm the coach. No, you're the coach.

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: I want to be the coach who's taken the last shot.

105
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: All of this, You know James Harden, you know he's

106
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: wanting this. And people make a big deal that he

107
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: turned down a two year extension for over one hundred

108
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: million dollars. He's still going to get paid. James Harden

109
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: has made a half a billion dollars in his career.

110
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: If you look at the Adidas deal that he's signed,

111
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: which is a couple of hundred million dollars. I don't

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: even know what the James Harden shoe looks like, does anybody?

113
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: And I know that I'm not in their demo. You're

114
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna bring it a guy for two hundred million dollars.

115
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what Adidas gets out of that, But

116
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: James Harden got paid, and he's gonna get paid. Maybe

117
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't get fifty million dollars a year, but he's

118
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: got a half a billion dollars right now, and maybe

119
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: he takes a little less I don't know what Brooklyn

120
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: is going to give up to get James Harden. Can

121
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: they give Houston enough to bring him in? Is that

122
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: the only destination for him? And if I'm the Rockets,

123
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,119
Speaker 1: I'm not in any hurry to help out James Harden

124
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: at all. Be like, all right, you want out? Okay,

125
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: you got two years left with us, James, you help us?

126
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: How do you help us? Because we got to rebuild

127
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: this entire system. You got a new head coach coming in.

128
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: How do you feel if you're Russell Westbrook? James wants you.

129
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna trade all these picks you get there. Oh

130
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: Harden wants out now? And then who's gonna want Russell Westbrook?

131
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: A ball dominant and a big salary, and he's not

132
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: as good as player as James Harden, But last one

133
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: out of Houston? Turn the lights off? Yes, I got

134
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: a few NBA questions, all right, First one, doesn't feel

135
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: like Russell westbrook'sill be playing in China in about two

136
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: years for seventy five million a year? All right? Back

137
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: to this, if you're Chris Paul, why would you want

138
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: to go play for the Phoenix Suns when you don't

139
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: have a ring and you're getting older. Where is he

140
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna go a team that has a better chance to

141
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: win a title? But who is taking him? I don't know.

142
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: It just seems like you've got to give me the

143
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: destination before. But doesn't Chris Paul have like eighteen no

144
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: trade clauses where he decides where he goes. Well, you

145
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: decided to go to Phoenix, Okay, I thought Milwauke Milwaukee

146
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: wasn't interested. I think he would have gone to Milwaukee,

147
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: and so he went to Phoenix for a lifestyle move.

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: Do you think, yes, I'm a big serious yes, yes, okay,

149
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a young team. It's really to me.

150
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: It hinges on DeAndre eight and if he becomes a

151
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: great player, then they have a chance. They're not winning

152
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: a title in the next two years. I mean, they're

153
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: just not. My next question is, Okay, if if the

154
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets tried to trade James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets,

155
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: what could the Nets give up? That's hard and worthy.

156
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: They're not giving up their two star players, A bunch

157
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: of B minus players and draft picks are going to

158
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: be the twenty eight, ninth thirtieth pick in the draft. Well,

159
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna get three starters right away. Caris LeVert is

160
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: a good player. Spencer Dinwiddie is a good player. Jackson

161
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: Allen is a good man. He's a serviceable, high energy

162
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: big man. This reminds me there was a great trade

163
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: years ago where I think Phoenix acquired Charles Barkley and

164
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: they sent three starters like Tim Lay, Tim Perry. And

165
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: look at the depth that the Philadelphia seventy six ers

166
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: have now get him into Barkley. How'd that work out? First? Well,

167
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: you also know that you're gonna have to You're gonna

168
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: lose him at some point. Now, what do you get

169
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: in return? I think I would hold on to Harden.

170
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: I'm just say, all right, you want him, you gotta

171
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: really blow us away here. But if I'm getting three

172
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: guys who are going to start, and I'm gonna get

173
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: some draft picks here, I free up some cap space

174
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: here as well, I don't. I don't. If I get

175
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: rid of Harden, then I might as well get rid

176
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: of Russell Westbrook. And the fact that the Hornets Michael

177
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Jordan wants Russell Westbrook. If I'm Houston, I'm like, we'll

178
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: drive him down, We'll hand deliver him down there to

179
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: the Hornets. If Mike wants him, you can have him, Yes, McLevin,

180
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: there's a report the Sixers don't want to give up

181
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 1: Simmons for Harden. It kind of makes sense, just an age, right, Yeah,

182
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I got it. But but if I'm making the move,

183
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: if now all that I think this came out, and

184
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: the timing of this came out, probably from Hardens side,

185
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: is let's see or Houston side, let's see if we

186
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: can get somebody else interested here, because you if you

187
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: got two takers for Harden, now we can make the

188
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: deal even more enticing. But if I, if I'm the

189
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: seventy Sixers, I would still look at James Harden and

190
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: pair him with Ben Simmons because people, I think, look

191
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: at this and go Ben Simmons. He doesn't play that style.

192
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is the perfect teammate. He doesn't have to

193
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: have he doesn't have to shoot, and Joe l Embiide

194
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: wants to shoot. He wants to average thirty points a game.

195
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons will do all the dirty work for him.

196
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: But I go back to this was a story about

197
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, and Steph Curry was telling people at the

198
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: all Star Game a couple of years ago that if

199
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Harden wants to be able to play that team ball,

200
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: like he'd love to be in a style, in a

201
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: system that has that, that embraces that incorporates that. I

202
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you could create that in Brooklyn, but

203
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: Durant was part of that, and there's part of James Harden.

204
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: That and James Harden when he first started out as

205
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: sixth man in Oklahoma City, was a great off the ball,

206
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: fincy player. He didn't have to have it, but when

207
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: he got it, he made jupey. I don't know what

208
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: legacy means to him. I don't know if he cares

209
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: about this, but it feels like, I'm thirty one. I

210
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: want to play with these guys. Maybe we have some

211
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: fun and win a championship here Durant. Durant wants to be,

212
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, the greatest player of all time. Like then

213
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: his mind, legacy is really important. I don't know about Kyrie,

214
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: but it is fascinating that Steve Nash is just going

215
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: in there as the head coach. Yes, Kyrie feels more

216
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: like he would be like, you know, legacy is just

217
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: a construct of other people's mind. Why would I limit

218
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: myself to put myself in the box of other people's

219
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: minds when I can just live in the stars. Yeah.

220
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Earth's flat. Yeah, mclen. That's

221
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: all good until you tweak your mcl I just worry

222
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: poll question or then that's a favorite. If they get

223
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: those three favorite to win it all. Yes, let me

224
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: see what happens the rest of you know, the offseason here,

225
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, who are the Lakers getting. Nobody's talking about

226
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: Golden State. I find it. I find it fascinating, or

227
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat. Now, they haven't done anything. I think

228
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: what Milwaukee did yesterday, they got better. I'm not a

229
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: big Eric Bledsow fan. I think that they got better.

230
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: Drew Holliday is a good player, two way player for them. Bogdanovich,

231
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, it feels like they're doing some things. And

232
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: I think that it's enough for Yannis to sign that

233
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: Max deal and stay there. I think that's what they're

234
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: trying to do. It may be something that's not necessarily

235
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: for now, but it's for the next couple of years

236
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: that Jannis sees that we have a chance to win now.

237
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: If Brooklyn gets James Harden, Yannis Mago I don't have

238
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: a chance to win here. Why would I stay here?

239
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: But I think he's going to sign that Max deal

240
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: and stay in Milwaukee. Yees see, Eric Bledsaw, George Hill

241
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: and three first round picks. Yeah yeah, that's I mean

242
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: that's ultimately five first round picks. Yeah, that's steep dang Steve.

243
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: But George Hill and Bledsoe won't stay in New Orleans.

244
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: They've got too many point cards. I mean, it's still

245
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball's team as a point card Yessman club. Yeah,

246
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: when you say Drew Holiday and one of the Bogdanovitch is,

247
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: it just feels like they're adding like more pieces around,

248
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: but not the right like they need a real number

249
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: two or well, Middleton is a number two. Is not

250
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: a solid number two that you would have on other teams,

251
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: but you might have maybe a guy who's not a

252
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: solid number two, but you would have solid threes and

253
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: fours as well. And I think that's what they're trying

254
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: to do. Holiday in Bogdanovitch, to go with Middleton, to

255
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: go with Jannis. You know, it's it's a good team,

256
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's a good postseason team.

257
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: There's you know, the Rockets who are a great regular seasons.

258
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: There are certain teams that are great regular season teams,

259
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,599
Speaker 1: get them in a postseason and then all of a

260
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: sudden they start to fold in a seven game series.

261
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: We've seen that with Milwaukee now back to back years.

262
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: You can lead the league and wins. Can you win

263
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: when you need to win in the postseason? Do you

264
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: have that style? And it was so plastic for Miami.

265
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: What did Miami do? They basically said to the Greek freak,

266
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: We're going to set up a wall and you're not

267
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: going to be able to do those coast to coast

268
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: or drive whenever you want to. And then all of

269
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, Milwaukee goes, hey, wait a minute, what's going

270
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: on here? We're not playing the way we normally do.

271
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: And Miami dusted him off. Yeah. Pay One thing I'm

272
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: fascinated about. If you're the GM and the president and

273
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: the ownership of Milwaukee Bucks, do you have a conversation

274
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: with Jannis and his agent before you make this monster? Yes? Well,

275
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: but does the conversations is it like, Hey, we're about

276
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: to make this monster's trade. Will your client be part

277
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: of this team for the next seven years if we

278
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: make this monstrous trade. And how can you trust the answer,

279
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: and how can you get an answer, because if I'm

280
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: an agent, I'm keeping my options open. If I'm honest,

281
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm keeping options open. But you're making this trade based

282
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: on him being there, which is very awkward. I have

283
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: to include him. If I don't include him, that's worse.

284
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: But I would want the inclusion to get work both ways. Well, no,

285
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: he's not. He has no reason to say, hey, if

286
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: you do this, I'm signing. I think that he for

287
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: him to sign off on that max deal, he has

288
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: to approve the roster moves. I would if I'm in

289
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: his position and you want me to stay. Hey, we're

290
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: thinking of bringing in this guy, and this guy, you know,

291
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: he might be best friends with Eric Bledsoe or Dante

292
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: de Vincenzo who got traded as well. You just want

293
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: to make sure that you don't upset him. And you say,

294
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: we're surrounding you with people that we think will make

295
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: us stronger. But I would absolutely do a drive by

296
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah. It'd be like us having five year

297
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: contracts presented to us and you are a free agent

298
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: and we ask you, well, you're going to sign a

299
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: five year contract Yeah, sure, why not? Probably And the

300
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: next thing you know, Randy Scott's hosted this show on

301
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,080

310
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: player in this draft? And then we'll talk to him

311
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: about the NCAA Tournament to bubble eze the NCAA Tournament

312
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna do it. The final four was

313
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: going to be in Indianapolis, And if you've been to Indianapolis,

314
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: you know they did a wonderful job with the Super Bowl.

315
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: You have arenas around there. You can put basketball courts

316
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: in the RCA Dome. You could probably have three courts

317
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: in there. You could have games going on. I don't know,

318
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: how many fans are going on gonna be able to

319
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: go in there. But I like the idea if you're

320
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: going to be able to go into one place and

321
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: if you had other arenas around that you needed, you

322
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: could do that as well. But we'll talk to Jay Billis.

323
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: He'll join us coming up. Mcleven will have a poll

324
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,320

00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,399

328
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: there's some big names on that list that don't get

329
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: a mulligan. Yes, Polly. By the way, I saw some

Speaker 1: Carolina three hundred thousand dollars a month for fifty months.

332
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm no math major, but I think that's about three

333

Speaker 1: point two million a year for four years. So well,

Speaker 1: Jay Billis will be working the college draft, the NBA

369
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: Draft coming up tomorrow night. I also wanted to talk

370
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 1: to him about the possibility of bubble izing the entire

371
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament in Indianapolis, and Jay joins us. Now, Jay,

372
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: let me start with the draft coming up here. Is

373
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: there that true franchise driven player talent wise that you

374
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: can go, we can lock in on that guy and

375
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: we can build around. Probably not. There are a couple

376
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: players that I think may fit that description. One is

377
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards of Georgia, although he's not yet a finished product.

378
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: His decision making and defense need to improve. But the

379
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: others James Wiseman of Memphis, who only played three games

380
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: this year before he got in that you know sort

381
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: of NC double a issue and then wound up saying

382
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: I've just had enough of this. He was supposed to

383
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: sit out like twelve games. After playing the first three,

384
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not doing this anymore and just walked.

385
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: So we didn't get a chance to see him. But

386
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: he's still Chris. He's got Chris Bosh type ability, except

387
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: he's bigger, seven one and seven six wingspan, all that stuff.

388
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: But they're outside of that, Dan, They're a bunch of

389
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: really good players and guys it'll be starters in the

390
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: league and maybe better. But there's no There aren't any

391
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: no brainer picks like we've had in past drafts. I'd

392
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: be fallen in love with somebody. I mean, there are

393
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys I really like, Like I really

394
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: like Tyrese Haliburton of Iowa State. I really like Isaac

395
00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: Accoro of Auburn. You know, guys like ad On Yaka

396
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: Kongu of USC I like a lot, but there's nobody

397
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: like you were asking. I think initially, you know, is

398
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: there anybody there's nobody like Lebron or Kyrie or something.

399
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: Where do you go? Okay, he's the number one pick,

400
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: for sure, will be an All Star, that kind of thing.

401
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: But there will be players that come out. I'm positive

402
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: there'll be players that come out of this draft that

403
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: will be like Draymond Green or you know, you name it.

404
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean a bunch of players that have been taken

405
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: further down in the draft that have turned out to

406
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: be great, whether it's Clay Thompson. Uh, there're a whole

407
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: bunch we could We could go down to name a

408
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: fifteenth pick that we were probably saying at the time, well,

409
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, could be a starter and maybe better. But

410
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: we weren't. We weren't sure the reaction to LaMelo Ball.

411
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: If he's not LaMelo Ball and he's just another name,

412
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: do we have a different reaction to him this high

413
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: in the draft. Uh? Maybe, I mean, I know, he

414
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: drags in some of the stuff with his dad a

415
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh, you know, a little bit of baggage

416
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: there for some people. But my thing with him Dan

417
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: is he's ultra talented as a ball handler, passer. Um.

418
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: You know, he's got positional size and length and all that,

419
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: but he didn't guard anybody and he doesn't shoot it,

420
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: and those are kind of big deals. And he hasn't

421
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: finished a season in a long time either, so he's

422
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: not had a normal sort of existence for a player

423
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: that does. That's not a bad thing, it's just it's

424
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: just a data point. Um. But he's one of those

425
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: guys that you're going, hey, could be could be really

426
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: good and then but could be less than that. Um. Like,

427
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna, you know, get in the

428
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: league and not not be a good player. But I

429
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: think if you're going to go one, two or three,

430
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: you have some pretty high expectations. How did the ball

431
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: boys not be able to shoot? Yeah, that's a good question.

432
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I know you're you've always been

433
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: a great shooter, and um, but you know there are

434
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: there are guys that can't can't shoot, and you know,

435
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: Lonzo's get My thing has been why can't somebody fix

436
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: their mechanics to the point where, um, you know, like

437
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: if the SHOT's not going in, then I think you

438
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: got to you gotta fix the mechanics. Like Reggie Miller's

439
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: like an example of you know, you wouldn't have You

440
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: wouldn't have taught Reggie to shoot that way. You know,

441
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: the zelbo out and all that stuff. It's not classic form.

442
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: Damn thing went in every time, So you're not gonna

443
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: or Jamal Wilkes, like nobody would have told Jamal Wilkes,

444
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: like you need to wrap it around your head before

445
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: you shoot it. But it went in every time, so

446
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: you're not messing with that. But if it doesn't go in,

447
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: I think you have to mess with it. And for

448
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: those guys, ball doesn't go in enough. And actually Lonzo

449
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: was a better shooter than LaMelo. LaMelo's got a lower

450
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: release and doesn't go in near the rate that Lonzo's

451
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: went in. But you got LiAngelo, the other ball brother,

452
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: who all he does is shoot. He has a great shot,

453
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: he has you know, great range there. It's just kind

454
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: of baffling that, you know, the dad who was there

455
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: when Nay Smith, you know, put up the basket the

456
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: peach basket, didn't teach his kids how to shoot, you know,

457
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: just a normal jump shot here. Yeah, it's not just

458
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: on him. I think it's on the game. I don't know,

459
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: like it's almost like it's almost like shooting was like

460
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: the golf swing used to be years ago, where he

461
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: didn't mess with it. You know that it was something

462
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: that you left alone and just more repetition and I'll

463
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: get better, But I do think there's a mechanics thing

464
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: to it, but especially if it doesn't go in. I mean,

465
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: the best shooting coach I've ever been around is Chip England,

466
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: who happened to be a teammate of mine at Duke

467
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: my freshman year. He was a senior and just got

468
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: a great way about him of teaching teaching shooting. But

469
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of guys that feel comfortable out

470
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 1: there teaching it, and that that's unfortunate, especially the lower levels.

471
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota's got the number one? Does Minnesota keep the number

472
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: one pick? I don't know. I mean, there's it's gonna be.

473
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: It seems like there's going to be more trade activity

474
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: in this draft, but you know, you've been through this

475
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: drill more than me. You know, you always hear about

476
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: how many trades they're going to be, and then there

477
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: there aren't a ton on Draft Day and other other

478
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: years you don't hear as much and they're a bunch

479
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: of trades. So uh, you know, look, unless you're in

480
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: love with somebody, it makes sense to trade back, but

481
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: it's it's only if you can get who you want,

482
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: and then what are you going to get in exchange

483
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: for the pick. My sense is in this year's draft,

484
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: if you've got the number one pick, you you you

485
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: use it um and if like you know, I don't

486
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: know if they if the Timberwolves like um Anthony Edwards

487
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: or James Wisemer, LaMelo Ball, whatever it is, but it

488
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: seems like there's a consensus that those are the top

489
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: three picks. What order they going, We'll see. But but

490
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: I think I think Edwards is the best overall prospect

491
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: with this skill level, his body, his athleticism, he has

492
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: the chance to be the best player. Doesn't mean he

493
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: will be, but he has the chance to be. Yeah.

494
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: I saw an interview with him yesterday on ESPN, and

495
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: I really just he sounded mature. He sounded like he

496
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: was ready for this big move. We're talking to j

497
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: Billis ESPN college basketball analysts. What did you make of

498
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: the possibility of bubbleizing March madness in Indianapolis? Smart move.

499
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: I think it's the only way in the current climate

500
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: that we're facing that we're going to get an NCAA

501
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: tournament in you know you have If you're going to

502
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: try to get a tournament thirteen different venues from the

503
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: first four to the first round, to the Elite eight

504
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: to the final four in Indianapolis, it's not going to work.

505
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: And I think Danny Gavitt and the tournament committee realized

506
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: that and they decided to make the adjustment now so

507
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: they didn't have to make it later. And it's a

508
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: smart move. And look, I think a lot of people

509
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: might feel like I would jump all over this and say,

510
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: see their pros, this is not the time for that.

511
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: They're pros anyway, so it doesn't matter whether they play

512
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: a bubbles or not. But you'll remember at the beginning

513
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, when we were talking about all this

514
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: stuff that you had a lot of administrators saying, hey,

515
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: no students on campus, no college sports. Well, they backed

516
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: off that in a hurry, and then they were saying, well,

517
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: we can't have bubbles. These are amateurs. They backed off

518
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: that in hurry. We're going to start the season in

519
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 1: a bubble at the Mohegan Sun. We're going to end

520
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: it in as close to a bubble as you can

521
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: get in Indianapolis with the at least I think it'll

522
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: be in Indianapolis. That's the initial indication for the N

523
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: Double A tournament. It's just smart business, like basketball needs

524
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: to have a season this year. It's really kind of

525
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: an existential issue for the NC Double A. That's the

526
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: only revenue they have is the N Double A Tournament.

527
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: If there's not a tournament, the NC Double A is

528
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: in trouble after this season. If we have a tournament,

529
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: I think we get through this and everything's fine. If

530
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: we don't, two years of no revenue and there's a

531
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 1: real existential problem. So I'm glad they're doing it this way,

532
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: and I'm glad we're moving toward it. And oddly enough, Dan,

533
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: right now, the students going home on almost every campus

534
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: across the country going home like this week, next week,

535
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: whatever it is for Thanksgiving, and they're not coming back.

536
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: That's the best chance we have to get a basketball

537
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: season in because the teams are going to be essentially

538
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: isolated and quarantined on their own campus with no other students,

539
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: And that's the best chance we have. Yeah, I wondered

540
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: if the Pac twelve would have waited till Thanksgiving to

541
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: start their football season with everybody gone, and then you

542
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: try to do it like that or the Big Ten.

543
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: You know you want to be in the Final four,

544
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: you want to go to a bowl game, but you

545
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: do want to get this season in Pac twelve. Probably

546
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: not going to get their season in the Big Ten.

547
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: Stumbled a little bit here, but I do agree with you.

548
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: Once the students go home, you're basicly bubbleizing your basketball

549
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: team as well. Let me go back to what you

550
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: said about the NCAA. If they don't have March Madness

551
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: over a two year period, what do you think happens

552
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: to the NCAA. Well, it's going to be I think

553
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: there will be a change. I mean, you don't have money.

554
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: It's going to be hard to operate on the same

555
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: level and hard to hard to keep employees and all

556
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: that other stuff. And I think they just lose their

557
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: grip and college basketball gets diminished. I don't think there's

558
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: any question about that. Now. Is it going to go

559
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: It's not gonna go away, but without the revenue, I mean,

560
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: there are going to be so many things, so many

561
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: dominoes that fall in a negative direction. I think it

562
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: gets diminished. And look, I think it's going to be

563
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: diminished going forward a little bit anyway. But I think

564
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: it's I think there's going to be a loosening at

565
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: the grip on college sports and the conferences start taking

566
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: over and we see some changes that we wouldn't have

567
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: anticipated otherwise. Yeah, I still think that the Power five

568
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: it's just going to grab college football. They own, They

569
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: own college football. NC Double A doesn't, and you just

570
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: seceed from the union. I don't know if you see

571
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: the Power five conferences in college basketball doing the same.

572
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: We do love the underdog. We embrace the underdog. The

573
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: underdog a chance. In college football, the underdog does not. Yeah,

574
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: I think there's still a reluctance to go away from

575
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: the current NC Double A tournament model. That's a big

576
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: part of keeping everything together. And look, there are a

577
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: lot of the old timers like us frankly, but but guys,

578
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: we know from back in the day that when in

579
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, when there was the Supreme Court case,

580
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, Oklahoma Border Region's case that took basically took

581
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: football away from the NC Double A, the NCAA used

582
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: to tell in their infinite wisdom, used to tell schools

583
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: how often they could be on television because they thought

584
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: that they were protecting the gate, like the number of

585
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: spectators that would come to a game. They thought that's

586
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: where all the money was. They didn't realize that the

587
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: money is in television. So, you know, that's when the

588
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: CFA started the College Football Association and started negotiating TV

589
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: contracts and all that. There are a lot of people

590
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: that thought it would have been better if if they

591
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: took football and basketball away from the NC DOUBLEA and

592
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have all the ridiculous issues that we have now.

593
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that I agree with that, but but

594
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: there's a real reluctance to take basketball, to take the

595
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: tournament and mess with it because of what you mentioned,

596
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: sort of the you know, the Cinderella aspect of it.

597
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: I think if they took the tournament, the Power five

598
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: just took the tournament and started their own tournament. They

599
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: just started their own tournament. They can invite whoever they wanted.

600
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: But we're going to get to a point where the

601
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: Power five's only going to play each other. They're only

602
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: going to play each other in football, and someday they're

603
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: only going to play each other in basketball. Because the

604
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: fans have spoken, they don't want to watch these early

605
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: season you know, home game versus directional school stuff. They

606
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: don't go to the games, they don't watch them on

607
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: TV like they used to. They're not consuming them the

608
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: same way. They want to watch big shots against big shots.

609
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: And then we'll leave the Cinderella stuff for the tournament

610
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: at the end. Would you want Mark Emirate's job as

611
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: the head of the NCAA. I get asked that a

612
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: lot because I'm so critical of the INC double A

613
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: at times, not all the time. When they do a

614
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: good job, I say so, but and I joke about it.

615
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: But I've served on nc double A committees in the past,

616
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: both when I was in college and now. I've always

617
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: said that I'll help. If there's ever a chance I

618
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: can really help, I'll do it. But the one thing

619
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: I know is because of my views on amateurism, I

620
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about ever being asked to do

621
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: anything by the ENCLA, like even even the stuff they're

622
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: doing now with name, image and likeness, like they're such

623
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: ridiculous baby steps. You're gonna come on, man, let's just

624
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: do this. I mean, why are we taking baby steps

625
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: on this stuff? It's over you know, you have admitted

626
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: that they're pros by just approaching the subject of name,

627
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: image and likeness. Let's go and get it over with,

628
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: and they won't pull the band aid off and just

629
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: do it. Were you a student athlete at Duke or

630
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: an athletic student at Duke? I was? I was neither,

631
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: Like I look at it. Here's the way I look

632
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: at it. When I was playing, I was a player,

633
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: and when I was in class I was a student.

634
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

635
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: We don't. We don't ask anybody else what their priorities are.

636
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's no other student that you go, okay, now,

637
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: is academics your first priority? Or are you here for

638
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: being a musician or are you spending more time in

639
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: the Greek system, or like what are your priorities? You know?

640
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 1: It's kind of like saying, are you a broadcaster? Husband

641
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: and father? Are you a husband and father broadcaster? Like

642
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: what's more important to you? Dan? Like these are questions

643
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: that we only ask of athletes. I'm a broadcaster first, Jay,

644
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: what's that? I'm a broadcaster first? Yeah? Yeah, a nominated broadcaster. Yes,

645
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: not don't win, but we get nominated. Yeah, Jerry Seinfeld

646
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: had a great, great quote about that and comedians in

647
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: cars getting coffee. He said, like, I apparently Seinfeld, the

648
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: number one show didn't win any Emmy's as a show,

649
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: or maybe only one one over that run that they had,

650
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: And his thing was, who cares he goes? He goes?

651
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: The job is the award. And I was like, that's

652
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: pretty damn cool. I should have thought of that, The

653
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: job as the award. No, it's not. The job is

654
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: the job. The award is the award. But you know,

655
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: you have to give yourself some credit, and I give

656
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: myself a lot of credit acting like when somebody else

657
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: wins and we're clapping, acting like we're legitimately happy for

658
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: the winner. There is an art to that, kay, because

659
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: every year when Bob cost Us would win, I had

660
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: to act like I'm a little surprised, but not that surprised.

661
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, you go oh oh yeah, and then you

662
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: know that somebody's watching you. And then I used to

663
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,360
Speaker 1: start clapping when they were opening the envelope, like I

664
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: just wanted to get ahead of this. That Hey at

665
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick's a team. Yeah, Bob cost is one other

666
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: damn whatever. Sports jamming. Yeah, it's it's an art. It's

667
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: an art. It's acting is what that is, Jay, And

668
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: that should be an award to the best performance. And

669
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: the winner is once again Dan Patrick. Have fun tomorrow night, there, Jay,

00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: would be like a James Harden situation. I'd have to

676
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: get rid of probably three dan ets. Oh I'm worth

702
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: saw this and I thought you might be interested. We're

703
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: going to talk to Adrian Woodnarowski coming up in about

704
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: a half hour from now. I saw this headline Some

705
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: NETS players don't want James Harden to join the team.

706
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: This according to Sports New York's Ian Begley, Some Nets

707
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: players were contacted by quote people around Harden about the

708
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: possibility of the guard joining the team. Not all were

709
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: in favor of the proposal. I'm guessing the guys who

710
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: are going to be traded for James Harden are big

711
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: on the deal to bring James Harden into Brooklyn. People

712
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: around Harden contacted some Nets players to discuss the possibility

713
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 1: of the perennial All Star joining the team. Per sources,

714
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: some were supported supported, but not all players contact that

715
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: had about the potential Harden to Brooklyn deal in favor

716
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: of it. Here's another tweet reading the tea leaves. It

717
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: sounds like James Harden wants the Nets, but Kyrie Irving

718
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: doesn't want James Harden. Seems like we're a little too

719
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: far down the road for that one. Didn't somebody run

720
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: this by Kyrie? One of the three head coaches they

721
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: have there, Rick Kamala. Rick Kamala Sports is the one

722
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: who had that tweet that James Harden wants the Nets

723
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: but Kyrie Irving doesn't want James Harden. Is this Kevin

724
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: Durant calling all the shots now? Because that's what it

725
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: feels like. If that's the case, you know, I got

726
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: the feeling when I first heard about this, it was like,

727
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the Nets do trade for James Harden

728
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: and then a year from now Kyrie Irving is on

729
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 1: a different team. Like that was the feeling I got,

730
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: Not that that would happen, but it feels like, kad

731
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: James Harden, you're gonna have everybody gonna be happy there. Yeah, seton.

732
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: But why with Kevin Durant sort of help put this

733
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: together with Kyrie Irving and then just as they're about

734
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: to finally play together, blow it all up. I don't

735
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm only going by the tweet. I mean,

736
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense for them to get James Harden

737
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, a year from now you trade Kyrie.

738
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: But how can you possibly think about bringing in James

739
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: Harden if Kyrie has not signed off on this. If

740
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: that's the case, that seems impossible only unless James Harden has,

741
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: like you were saying earlier, he's agreed to play off

742
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: the ball again. Yeah, but why is it that this

743
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: tweet says Kyrie doesn't want James Harden. If Harden says, hey,

744
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: I'll play off the ball. You're the point guard, let's

745
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: move it around like Golden State does. And then all

746
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you go, Harden wants the Nets. Kyrie

747
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: doesn't want James Harden. Who All right, we'll talk to

748
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: Adrian Wilch and Aralski will join us coming up, Kirk

749
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: d Cousins will join us a little more than an

750
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: hour from now. After the win against the Chicago Bears,

751
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 1: you know the problem when you have that standalone game.

752
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: There's a great thing about a standalone game when your

753
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: team plays well. When they don't play well, it feels

754
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: like everybody knows your business. You know, you try to

755
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: keep private. You know your neighbors. You don't want your

756
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: neighbors snooping looking over that. You know, the hedges there

757
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: or the fens there. When you have the standalone game,

758
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of looking in, seeing what you're doing, seeing

759
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: who's coming and going. And they got garbage there. Have

760
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: you seen the garage? It's a mess there. That's what

761
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: happened last night with the Bears. Now, they could have

762
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: won the game, but you start to go, man, Bears,

763
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: they're not very good, but they were in the game.

764
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: But it feels like that standalone game is never good

765
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: when your team doesn't do well. Yeah. As a Bears

766
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: fan also, after last night, even though it wasn't an

767
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: awful game, it feels hopeless. It doesn't feel like there's

768
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: anything to latch onto with the Bears. You know, if

769
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm a Vikings fan, you got a nice quarterback, you

770
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: got a Jefferson, a good receiver, you got a great

771
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: running back. As a Bears fan, you feel hopeless. Like

772
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: a Jets fan, at least you feel like we're gonna

773
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 1: get Trevor Lawrence, and that's hard to screw up. As

774
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: a Bears fan, it feels a bill. There's about four

775
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: really good players and that's it. You gotta have a quarterback.

776
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: You don't have a quarterback. We got two guys who

777
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: can't play quarterback and one's hurt. Yeah, actually they both hurt.

778
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: My bad one has hurt feelings and then the other

779
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 1: one got hip. Yeah, Trubisky's got a shoulder injury. Oh

780
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: he does. She explains a lot. Okay, you ask mclemn.

781
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: So they're just gonna start all over though, I mean,

782
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: Naggie's not say so. You're kind of like in the

783
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: same boat as the Jets and all these others, but

784
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: you're not bad enough to have a top three pick, right,

785
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: but at least you get the coach in, you know,

786
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: makeup ride at the enemy. Yeah. I hope Eric b

787
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: Enemy turns out to be great because man, we're building

788
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: up the hype. He's older than Mike Tomlin. I think

789
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: Eric b Ennemy is like three years older than Mike Tomlin.

790
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: Do we have a poll question? McLevin? I have three

791
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: Bears related poll questions? Why? But you answer them in rapids? Except? Okay,

792
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: real quick, bigger problem. Let Paul answer. You're a problem

793
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: for the Bear? Is Nick Foles or Matt Nagee? Matt Naggie?

794
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: It's over. The fans are bail have bailed on him?

795
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: This for everybody. If you're Eric bi enemy, which job

796
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: would you? Why? If I gave you the Texans, Jets,

797
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: Falcons or Bears? What doesn't sound like the Texans are

798
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: gonna entertain the idea of bringing them in if they're

799
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna give it to Romeo Cornell? Do I want the Falcons?

800
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: Do I want the Jets? I guess you have to

801
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: see where the Jets draft. If the Jets have the

802
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: number one pick overall. If I'm Eric bi enemy, do

803
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: I want that job? I would need to know what

804
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: the Falcons game plan is. Are they going to trade

805
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: Julio Jones? Are they going to trade Matt Ryan? I

806
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: would need to know a little bit more. What else

807
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: do you have? And finally I'm gonna save this. But

808
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 1: PAULI has a good question which team feels the most hopeless?

809
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 1: And obviously the Bears are in this, but he nominates

810
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 1: some interesting choices teams that I wouldn't have thought were hopeless.

811
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: But I will tell you after the break. Wow, do

812
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: you think that's gonna keep people in their cars? I

813
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: think it's gonna clog up traffic for miles not get

814
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: advocar now. Wow. Adrian Wojnarowski on the possibility Hardened wants

815
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: the nets, but does Kyrie one? Hardened? Once you think

816
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: of the Chris Paul Trey to Phoenix Kirk Cousins in

817
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: a little more than an hour from now. In college football,

818
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: coaches on the hot Seat
