WEBVTT - Hour 3 – Billion-Dollar Man, Greg Anthony

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio.

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:07.360
<v Speaker 2>It's the final hour on this Tuesday Dan and the

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Dane's Dan Patrick Show. Greg Anthony, former NBA player, now

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 2>an analyst for NBA TV. We'll look back on what

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 2>happened last night and out of these teams, Golden State

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 2>or the Celtics, who has the best chance to come back?

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 3>Here?

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 2>You also have the Nuggets are ten point underdogs at

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the thunder Pacers at the Cabs. The Pacers are seven

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>and a half point underdogs, but the Nicks beat the

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Celtics up three games to one. Still waiting word on

0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 2>an update on Jason Tatum's health, whether it's an ankle

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 2>or an achilles.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 4>Either way doesn't look.

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Promising for him to be able to play Dallas Mavericks

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 2>win the NBA Lottery and let the conspiracy theorists have

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 2>their day. It's rigged a fresh gasoline on the it's

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 2>rigged fire, generational talent going to a good franchise, and

0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's seen was a little too perfect. But I

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 2>always say, why would the NBA do this? Because since

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty ten, the NBA has done a really bad job.

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>If they're going to fix their lotteries. The number one

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 2>pick has landed in a true big market city four

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>times so since twenty ten. Washington in twenty ten, Philly,

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:22.399
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, Atlanta last year. The rest places

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>like Minnesota and Cleveland, Orlando, New Orleans not exactly primetime destinations.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>But Zion Williamson, it's supposed to go to New York,

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 2>he ends up in New Orleans. And I know some

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 2>lottery results feel suspicious. You can go to Lebron going

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 2>to Cleveland. You can also go Dereck Rose going to

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 2>his hometown in Chicago. You know, somehow Tim Duncan ends

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>up with the San Antonio Spurs instead of the Celtics.

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>But then I always say, when't you want him with

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics not the San Antonio Spurs. But we have

0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>that feeling it, you know occasionally when there is that

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Marquee talent, when you go hmm, things that make you

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>go hmmm, yes, Marvin.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 5>But the thing with the Lebron draft going to the Cavaliers.

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 5>The Kevlaries were awful that season. I think won maybe

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 5>seventeen or eighteen games, so it wasn't like they won

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 5>thirty nine games and got the number one pick.

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.359
<v Speaker 2>No, but he went to his They allowed the NBA

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>allowed the Cavaliers to openly tank, and they've acknowledged that

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>they were tanking. John Lucas was the head coach. I

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 2>believe back then they tanked to get Lebron. I understand

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>if you can do it, then I would do it.

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>If I can tank, I know that everybody's like, well,

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>what about the integrity of the game. The integrity of

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>my franchise is what I care about, and if that's

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the case, then you can't complain about anybody else if

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 2>they happened to tank as well. I don't know if

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>there is a great solution that it's going to appease everybody.

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>We've come up with different scenarios. I still like that

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the more games you win once you're eliminated from the playoffs,

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.959
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's how.

0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 4>We should do the draft lottery.

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Encourage teams to continue to play hard even if they're

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.359
<v Speaker 2>not that good. Or you could have a final four

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 2>bottom four teams that they play for the number one pick.

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm waiting to see and PAULI brought this up. I

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't even think of it. If you're the NFL, wouldn't

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>you love to have four teams and you're going to

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 2>have one night to see who's going to have the

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>number one pick in the NFL draft. I mean, imagine

0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 2>the programming. Here's another week that you'll own leading up

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>to this. Four teams going to be there.

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>The problem is it'll go from four to six to

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>eight and then go to ten and twelve. But if

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>you did it, I'm surprised the NFL, and I'm sure

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 2>they've thought of that. Stat of the Day brought to

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the program.

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>By the way, for one hundred and fifty years, greatness

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>has been crowned. Here the oldest tradition or one of

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 2>the oldest ones in sports, the Preakness Stakes live on NBC.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Peacock coming up this weekend. All right, so Pacers Cabs

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Game five, Nuggets Thunder game five as well, and watching

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>last night Golden State trying to put up a good fight.

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>They didn't steal either one of these games, and they'll

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>be pretty much done, I think after the next game.

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Here's Steve Kerr, the Warriors head coach, on playing without

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry.

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 6>The series changed with Steph's injury so everybody's shots are

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 6>going to be more difficult. There's just you know, Steph's

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 6>the guy who breaks the defense down for us and

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 6>creates that offensive flow. And I think the end result

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 6>is that shots are more difficult for every single guy.

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you can see it, you know, Jimmy Butler,

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 2>You're you're hoping you're getting playoff Jimmy, and you didn't.

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 2>I wonder is Jimmy on the team next year? Is

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Draymond Green on the team next year? How is Steph

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Curry's career going to end? This one felt like this

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>is the last gasp because they have young talent. I

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 2>just don't think they developed that young talent. Remember James Wiseman,

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 2>they had the number two pick in the draft. I

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 2>don't even know if he's on a roster anymore. And

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 2>they really whiffed on that. That's where, you know, go

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>back to the Celtics in the eighties. They had Len

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Bias and Reggie Lewis. They were ready for those guys

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 2>to help an older roster with Bird McHale and Parish,

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Danny Ainge and Dennis Johnson. They had done a great

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.599
<v Speaker 2>job well, both of those players die, but they were

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>set up to carry that dynasty for another ten years.

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>And therefore you could have Bird McHale and Parish an

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 2>older roster, but you had these younger guys coming in.

0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 4>That's what you're.

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Trying to get, that mix that allows established stars younger

0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 2>players who eventually, you know, take the baton. It didn't

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>happen with Golden State. All right, we'll get some phone

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>calls in here. Eight seven seven three DP show Joe

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>in Utah. Good morning, Joe, it's on your mind today?

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 7>Taking my call.

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 8>I'm a one five and a sneaky five foot four,

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 8>so long, long time jazz fan.

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 7>I hate conspiracy theories and getting caught up in this one.

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 7>You know, it would just be pointless. What's done is done.

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 9>I'm just serious and sick.

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 5>About the process.

0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 7>Because the Jazz rebuild story, it's painful.

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 10>And now, because the NBA's cute little draft process, a

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 10>hopeful paying fan base gets pushed back into the bottom

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 10>dwelling eighty two game black hole.

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 9>I want to hear your thoughts.

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 4>I love you guys, love what you do. Thank you,

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Thank you. Joe.

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know Utah's going all right? Come on, he'd

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>love to have Cooper flag here. Putting with Laurie Markenen.

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, it's a start. Or if you're Washington, DC,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh, we finally are going to get our guy.

0:06:55.040 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Nobody's going to be laughing at us now, Charlotte, Yeah,

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>we don't need Michael Jordan.

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 4>We're going to get Cooper Flag. We're going to keep

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 4>him in Carolina.

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Marrin.

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 5>The Wizards were already ready to make like a big

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 5>poster of Cooper flag around all the American flags at

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 5>the mall down in DC. They were already the American flag.

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 4>He is the true American flag. He would have been.

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>They could have changed their uniforms like Cooper flag would

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 2>look like the flag pole, and then they would have

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the flag on the uniform the flag pole.

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, I just checked.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 11>Cooper Flag won't be nineteen until midway through the season,

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 11>a month into the NB season.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's going to be Let's say he is a

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 2>really good player. He's a really good all just really good,

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>really good player, really good player. He is going to make.

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 4>A billion dollars being really good, not great, but.

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's say he's great. Okay, just for argument's sake, he's great.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>My mind is still in parsing, you know, great.

0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Good, really good, pretty good.

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and that's on me. But you're nineteen, you

0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 2>get your rookie deal done, then what are you going

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 2>to be? Twenty three, twenty two to twenty three, and

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 2>then you get your next deal and that'll be you'll

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>be twenty seven, twenty eight, and then you'll get your

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>next deal, and then that'll be you'll be around thirty three,

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and then if you get another deal after that, gonna

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>make a billion dollars, yeah, pulling.

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 11>Front Office Sports has an article projecting the NBA salary

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 11>cap max contracts, and in this second contract, at age

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 11>twenty three, Cooper Flag could make five years, three hundred

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 11>and ninety eight million dollars. Yeah, I can round up

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 11>to four million.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 2>So you get two of those. Now we're knocking on

0:08:54.320 --> 0:09:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the door at eight hundred million. Second one's gonna be bigger.

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 4>It's not.

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>We're not that far away from somebody getting one hundred

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:09.640
<v Speaker 2>million dollars in a season. Marvin in La, Hi, Marvin,

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 2>thanks for holding what's on your mind?

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.000

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Marvin?

0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 12>Five to ten two o seven. So I have a

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 12>suggestion that that will helped the integrity of the draft.

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 12>So what I suggest is that the team that makes

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 12>it to the NBA Conference Finals, the team the losing

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 12>team with the best record gets the first pick. The

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 12>other team gets a second pick, and then you go

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 12>into order from the teams in the playoff, and then

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 12>the team that won the championship, maybe we get the

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 12>last pick, and then the losing team will get the

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 12>second to last pick.

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 11>Did you did you follow that he's rewarding the better

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 11>bad teams, which kind of happened last night.

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, you want all the other teams in there

0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 2>because you want all that publicity in all of those

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 2>cities of the chances of you know, winning the lottery.

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 4>You don't want just three or four.

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean tuning in to watch Utah, Washington, DC or Charlotte.

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.719
<v Speaker 2>That's not that's not big numbers there. You got all

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.959
<v Speaker 2>these teams now that everybody has a chance. Who's representing

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 2>this team there and having covered the lottery before hosting

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the lottery before, Man, there's a there's a lot of

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 2>build up, a lot of fun, and that's what they want.

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>They want the excitement of that. Zach and Knoxville, Hi, Zach,

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind.

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.600
<v Speaker 7>Adp, thanks for taking my call.

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 8>Heat and yesterday said he wanted to be an NBA

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 8>insider and who should have just chandled his inner gimme

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 8>Jimmerson and said, I'm hearing because I'm hearing that Copper

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 8>Flag might not have as much of an impression on

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 8>the game as Stephen Curry, but Niko Harrison thinks he's

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 8>a generational talent. I'm just that's just what I'm hearing.

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 8>But to ask a question to you, how much of

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:15.160
<v Speaker 8>Steph's injury do you think is diminishing what Anthony Edwards

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 8>is doing right now?

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:17.600
<v Speaker 9>Because he was.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 8>The he was the star killer knocking off KD, knocking

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 8>off Lebron this year and he's playing really well and

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 8>we don't seem to be talking about him enough.

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean he did this last year as well.

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 2>I just said that he's got star power. He's on

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the short list. There's probably ten players in the NBA

0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:40.080
<v Speaker 2>that have star power, and there's a difference in your

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 2>your talent or you know what those numbers are, and

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 2>people coming out to see you. Anthony Edwards wonderful player

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>to watch. You know, we were talking about this. You

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 2>can be a great actor that doesn't mean you're, you know,

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 2>going to have a big box office number. Now, Paul

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Giamatti's a great actor, you're not putting his There's no

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>movie poster on your wall with Paul Giamani whereas Tom

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Cruise not nearly the actor that Paul Giamoni is, but

0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the box office, nobody's bigger than him.

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:19.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, Denzel has both, Leonardo DiCaprio has both. I mean,

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:24.160
<v Speaker 2>there's only a couple of these actors. And that's what

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I was bringing up with Jason Tatum. He's a great player,

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>first ballot, Hall of Famer. Hope he comes back in

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the series. I was rooting for Boston to be able

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>to go to the finals again. I don't want the

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 2>Celtics to look like the Atlanta Braves of the nineties,

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 2>where you go, how many titles did they win? You know,

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years from now, we go, how many titles they

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>win one? Because we look at the Braves, even though

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 2>they won their division every year, they weren't. We looked

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 2>at them as a disappointment, like they only won one.

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 2>With three Hall of Fame pitchers and a Hall of

0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Fame third baseman.

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 4>That's hard to do.

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Hard to win that much, but then hard to not

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.800
<v Speaker 2>win at least a couple more World Series titles. And

0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I love to see dynasties and I love to see

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.719
<v Speaker 2>a great team, you know, pay that off. Like I'm

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 2>disappointed with the Cavs because of the injuries we're not

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.360
<v Speaker 2>able to see. And now it's easy to say, well,

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, as Chris Russo said last time, or eh,

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 2>they're just built for the regular season. Well, they got

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 2>all these injuries, like Boston has an injury with Jason Tatum,

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Donovan Mitchell's been banged up, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland. So

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:39.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean, let's be fair here. It's not pick and

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.559
<v Speaker 2>choose when it comes to these injuries. Golden State without

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry, that's a headless horse right there. And they

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 2>don't have a chance or very little chance here. And

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>I thought the previous game, not last night, previous one,

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>if they stole it, then maybe you could extend this

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 2>to seven games. But that doesn't look like that's going

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 2>to happen. Jimmy in Chicago, Hi, Jimmy, what's on your mind?

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 3>Good morning?

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 13>Then my take on what debunks the NBA Draft conspiracy

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 13>theory ninety three, Sea web going number one to Golden

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.640
<v Speaker 13>State instead of Orlando. Imagine if you know, if he

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 13>team to a check, that'll be one of the best

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 13>front course ever. And also twenty eighteen NBA Draft, the

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 13>Bulls drafted Wendell Carter at seven. They passed on Shay

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 13>Gilders at eleven as well as in twenty twenty this

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 13>is and this is crazy they took Patrick Williams number

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 13>four instead of Tyreese Halliburn at number twelve.

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 7>Out of those two guys, who.

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Would you rather have?

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 13>And also a quick bonus question, does Tom Cruise ever

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 13>win Best Actor for Best Doctor?

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 4>That's Oscar?

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 7>That's a doctor for Oscar.

0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.680
<v Speaker 4>No, he doesn't. And Chris Webber went to Orlando.

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 2>They traded him, and then you know they picked up

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Penny Hardaway, so she Webb went was going to Orlando.

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 2>But Pat Williams, the GM is like, you know, I

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 2>want Penny Penny Hardaway and then see where I went

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 2>to Golden Stick. All right, we'll take a break. See

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>more phone calls coming up. Eight seven to seven three

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:12.640

<v Speaker 2>sure we have the lineup ready. We're going to have

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 2>some practice sessions. I think we should get here really early.

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I think there should be some yoga. I think there's

0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I think we should get in a right frame of mind.

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 2>And then Thursday night, my birthday. I think we get

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 2>after it a little bit in Atlanta.

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Is that good?

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I think we need to find a restaurant and we celebrate,

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>celebrate my birthday.

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Marvel, kind of like the place we went to

<v Speaker 5>in New Orleans.

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 4>What's the one we went to a New Orleans?

<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 2>No, no, you sure there was a lot going on

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 2>in there.

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.400

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>There there's a whole lot going on with the waitresses

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>in that place.

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 4>I think the food was good. I don't really remember.

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I just know Todd did is let me ask fifteen

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 2>questions to this woman as she kept leaning down with

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 2>cleavage spilling out over the table.

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 5>I was very clumsy. I started dropping stuff left and right.

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.320

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 2>don't let me open. I'll hit a free throw. That's about.

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:18.400
<v Speaker 3>I love it, all right?

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:19.040
<v Speaker 4>All right?

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 2>So I had some things to say about Jason Tatum,

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and uh, we probably had ten minutes fifteen minutes on

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the show we were talking about him, and then you

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:30.480
<v Speaker 2>put out a tweet kind of asking me, how could

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I come up with this or come to this conclusion

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.440
<v Speaker 2>about Jason Tatum. I feel bad talking about him where

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.919
<v Speaker 2>his season could be over. So I just want to

0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>paraphrase something here. I think he's a first ballance Hall

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 2>of Famer. I think he's a great player. I just

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 2>don't think he's a star. Is the point that I've

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.640
<v Speaker 2>been trying to make, Like Trey Young is a star,

0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Edwards a star, Luca is a star, Steph Curry's

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.400
<v Speaker 2>a star. I'm talking about I'm going to go out

0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 2>of my way to watch Gilgis is not a star.

0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a great player and will be the MVP.

0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 2>You can make a case Joker is not a star

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:11.199
<v Speaker 2>that you tune in to watch him play. That was

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 2>the point that I've tried to make with Jason Tatum.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 2>He's a first ballot Hall of Famer and a great,

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.159
<v Speaker 2>great player. I just I think you tune in or

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 2>you would go out of your way to see the Celtics,

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 2>not Jason Tatum.

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 3>That's a fair attestment from your perspective, because I do

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 3>think and ask that you're saying he's not box office.

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:33.159
<v Speaker 3>No there, and there have been a lot of the

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.919
<v Speaker 3>greatest players you've ever played who weren't box office. So

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 3>I look at Tim Duncan was not box office. Yes,

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.080
<v Speaker 3>fair right, like, so we get that, and I don't

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 3>have an issue with that, and sometimes that's the difficult part,

0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 3>often as with sound bites and tidbits, because I didn't

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.280
<v Speaker 3>have the opportunity to kind of listen to your context,

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 3>and so from what I heard, I was like, Wow,

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 3>Now I would push back a little because I actually

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 3>do think Jason Tatum is a star. I do think

0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.159
<v Speaker 3>he's somewhat under appreciate it, and I think part of

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 3>it is just the dynamic of the culture we live

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 3>in is that we've got to push the envelope on

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.760
<v Speaker 3>all these guys, and then we're having this conversation after

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 3>what just transpired last night when he was having a

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 3>monster game, although they were probably still going to lose

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 3>that game based on how things are trending at the end,

0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 3>and you just hate to see it happen to him

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 3>because I also think the irony of that is he's

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 3>one of the highest character guys we have in our league.

0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:32.439
<v Speaker 3>He's one of the most accountable guys we have in

0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 3>our league, and he's been one of the most successful.

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you go look at perspective since he

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 3>came into the league, he's played at more conference finals,

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 3>he's won a championship. This will be his fourth consecutive

0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 3>first team all NBA. So I would tend to say

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I think Jokers a star. So that's just in a disagreement.

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.879
<v Speaker 3>That's more semantics, right, that's not necessarily saying they're not

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 3>great players. But I again, as a basketball nut, I

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.800
<v Speaker 3>would pay to see both of them. Right, But then again,

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, i'd go pay the C two lottery teams

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.919
<v Speaker 3>play if I had to. I'm just a fan of

0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.639
<v Speaker 3>the game, so I could definitely appreciate where you're coming.

0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:12.600
<v Speaker 2>From speaking of the lottery, okay, with it the format.

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So you know what, Dan, this is my philosophy

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 3>on life. No matter what we have in place, what

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.919
<v Speaker 3>the system is, people are gonna complain because just like

0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 3>human beings, nobody's perfect. There is no such and we

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 3>struggle with it all the time. So I try to

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:35.600
<v Speaker 3>focus more on the end result than just the minutia

0:21:35.760 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 3>of the process, like too many people want to, because

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 3>you can nitpick any process. And I'll give you a

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:45.119
<v Speaker 3>perfect example. Let's look at the national championship game we

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 3>just had with the final four in basketball, and then

0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:53.560
<v Speaker 3>with the championship in the NCAA for football. I was

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.720
<v Speaker 3>really happy with the end result. I thought the final four,

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 3>you had the four best teams, right, you didn't have

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 3>in the championship game, had no five star kids, you

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 3>had no want and done kids. The ratings were through

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 3>the roof, and we'll instead of us focusing on man,

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 3>we got ultimately what we wanted. We want to get

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.639
<v Speaker 3>caught up in the drugs of the process. There is

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 3>no perfect process. How many remember you're old enough to

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:21.400
<v Speaker 3>remember when there was thirty two teams in the NCAA tournament.

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.399
<v Speaker 3>You're old enough. We're old enough to remember when you

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 3>didn't have a playoff for college football. And with each

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 3>process that they changed it, the complaints never diminished. We

0:22:32.080 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 3>still that's what we do in America. Man, we just

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 3>want to complain. It doesn't matter what the system is,

0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 3>how well is functioning. So I look, I have no

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.639
<v Speaker 3>problem with it. It creates excitement. I was against the

0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.760
<v Speaker 3>play in when they first introduced it. I think it

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:48.359
<v Speaker 3>was one of the best things ever happened to our

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 3>league because it does it's helped to eliminate tanking. That's

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.919
<v Speaker 3>one of those words that's taboo in sports. Right. We

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.280
<v Speaker 3>don't talk about tanking that much anymore in the NBA.

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 3>And there was a time, as you know, well, we

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 3>discussed it that nauseam, so I'm fine with it. I mean,

0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 3>how about the irony with the Mavericks getting the pick?

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.440
<v Speaker 3>And I sent Nico a text last night congratulating him

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:14.080
<v Speaker 3>because he's caught a lot of hell. And listen, you

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 3>had to assume you're going to catch a lot of

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 3>hell when you trade a star of the magnitude of

0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 3>a Luca Dancis who took you to the finals a

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.439
<v Speaker 3>year prior. So yeah, I'm a fan of it. I

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 3>think you want to try to make the game as

0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 3>healthy as possible and not turn your fan base collectively off.

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 3>And this is one way that I think it's been

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:34.680
<v Speaker 3>a positive.

0:23:35.119 --> 0:23:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Talking to Greg Anthony NBA on TNT an Let's spend

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 2>eleven seasons in the NBA and won the title UNLV

0:23:41.320 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 2>back in nineteen ninety.

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:44.199
<v Speaker 4>Let me go back to Luca.

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know why Nico wouldn't leak it that

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:52.399
<v Speaker 2>there is the possibility Luca could be available, because it

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 2>feels like you could have gotten a little bit more,

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe a lot more, like I would have insisted Austin

0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Reeves was in the trade. Like I just I and

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why Dallas you know wouldn't ask for that,

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.400
<v Speaker 2>but you could have gotten other teams who probably would

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:13.600
<v Speaker 2>have come up with a lot better trade proposal, don't

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:14.120
<v Speaker 2>you think.

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, there's two things you got to consider. One, think

0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:21.680
<v Speaker 3>about the backlash he's faced since the trade went down.

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.360
<v Speaker 3>If you leaked that and it gets out, I think

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 3>you create more problems than solutions. That's just the reality,

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.400
<v Speaker 3>and that's my perspective. But I don't think you can

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 3>leak that. And it's easy to Monday morning quarterback for

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 3>all of us to say what they could or could

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 3>not have got. I think what you got to focus

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.640
<v Speaker 3>in on, Okay, what is the objective because a case

0:24:44.720 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 3>in point, you could have gotten four first or five

0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.359
<v Speaker 3>first round picks, but they're objective was to win now.

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Kyrie Irving's best basketball. Hopefully he's going to recover and

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 3>he can still play at his heights, but he's not

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 3>going to be better for the moving forward. Right, You've

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 3>got a small window to win now. So he wanted

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 3>to match the timeline when after the trade was made

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 3>of his two best players, and so that's why I

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:13.800
<v Speaker 3>think he went the route he did well. Everybody can

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:18.880
<v Speaker 3>second guess it after the fact, but ultimately, listen, if

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:21.720
<v Speaker 3>they're healthy, that team would have been a better team

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 3>than the Lakers just because of how they were built.

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Help plays a big role in it. It didn't materialize.

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Now you got the first pick, and now they're going

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:33.800
<v Speaker 3>to have more concerns and questions because I'm a huge

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Cooper Flag fan, But does he fit their timeline?

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:38.960
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:42.479
<v Speaker 3>You know, can you win like this? This is a

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 3>better situation. But there's some similarity if you go back

0:25:45.119 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 3>to when the Warriors drafted James Wiseman with the second pick,

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 3>there was a lot of talk about, hey, should we

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 3>move off the pick, and in that case probably would

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:56.399
<v Speaker 3>have made more sense because I think there was a

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 3>lack of consensus on just how good James Wiseman was.

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, that was more of a Kwame Brown scenario

0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:06.639
<v Speaker 3>from the standpoint that you know, you took him based

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 3>on the potential, but he wasn't as certain. He wasn't

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 3>a proven commodity that I think Cooper Flag is, and

0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:18.199
<v Speaker 3>so there's gonna be some concern and or consideration. I

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 3>would assume you're at least gonna listen to see ultimately

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 3>what can transpire, because again, you want to have a

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 3>chance to compete at the highest level now, and getting

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 3>that first pick creates a lot more leverage for Nico

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Harrison and the MAVs than they had going into that littery.

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you got a two year window with

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie and Ad It feels like in their prime. Hopefully

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:47.560
<v Speaker 2>both are going to be healthy or ish. Cooper Flag's

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:51.359
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be nineteen until in the season, and what

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 2>can you expect from him. You got some big guys.

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Christie's good. You know, he's a good addition for them.

0:26:59.080 --> 0:26:59.920
<v Speaker 5>I agree with you.

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.680
<v Speaker 2>You know the timeline there, uh, maybe not syncing up.

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 2>But would you trade Anthony Davis and Cooper Flag for Luca?

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Would I trade Anthony David? That's a tough question. Luca

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 3>for Luca. Well, I think a lot of it is

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 3>relative to who I am, what I have when I

0:27:19.440 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 3>make that deal.

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm just I'm joking doubt but like and as this.

0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:27.120
<v Speaker 3>You're saying, that's basically what happened. Yeah, Now, I would

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.959
<v Speaker 3>say that there's a lot of certainty with Luca. Listen,

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:32.880
<v Speaker 3>you know you're you got to build the right way

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 3>around him. He's got to make a commitment to his body.

0:27:35.920 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 3>You know, the different Nuggets were in a similar situation

0:27:38.840 --> 0:27:43.200
<v Speaker 3>with with the Joker a few years ago. They went

0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:45.959
<v Speaker 3>to him and said, look, we need you to commit

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:49.399
<v Speaker 3>to your body. That's how you commit to us. And

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:53.639
<v Speaker 3>he transformed his body. He's become became in much better shape.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 3>And I think there was maybe some conversations like that

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 3>with Luca. Maybe it didn't go over well. I guarant

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 3>to you the Lakers just had this conversation with him

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 3>when they had their meeting with JJ and their their

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.920
<v Speaker 3>front office with de Linka, when they had that dinner

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 3>the other night, you know, because I do think physically

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.640
<v Speaker 3>he's got to get in better shape. I think it's

0:28:15.680 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 3>gonna behoove him too, and it is hard to do,

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 3>but he's got to make that commitment to that organization

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 3>if they want to have a chance to ultimately win

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 3>a championship. There's a reason why Dallas like people can

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 3>poopoor to get mad all at one of Deco. But

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 3>the reality is physically, and we saw it defensively. He

0:28:33.200 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 3>was a liability in that series and while they had

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 3>other issues with the roster. As great as talent as

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:41.600
<v Speaker 3>he is, and I'm a huge look of doncis fan.

0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 3>I love the guy's skill set, you still need him

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 3>to have to not at least be a liability. You

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:49.640
<v Speaker 3>don't have to be a plus defender, but you can't

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.920
<v Speaker 3>be a liability defensively, especially with his size. You know,

0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 3>it's one thing you got a small guard, but when

0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:58.960
<v Speaker 3>you've got his size and physicality, he can have a

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 3>much more packful place on the defense.

0:29:03.320 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 2>For the Lakers, who let's say they win their series

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:11.160
<v Speaker 2>their respective series, who is more dangerous the pacers of

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the Knicks.

0:29:14.040 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 3>As you get later in the playoffs, your best players

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:22.080
<v Speaker 3>ability to play against great teams, great defense becomes more relevant.

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 3>So I would say, and let me say to preface

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 3>if by saying this, DA, this is the first time

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:31.479
<v Speaker 3>since I've been in broadcasting, maybe even since I've been

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 3>associated with the game, where I really felt like the

0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 3>final eight teams could all win it. I've never had

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.560
<v Speaker 3>that feel because generally, you know, you get an upset,

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 3>you get a team or two in there, and look,

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 3>you're like, oh, they don't really have a chance. But

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 3>I really felt like, all things being equal, everybody healthy,

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 3>everybody playing their best, that they all had a chance.

0:29:51.120 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 3>Having said that, I love Indiana's team, I think They're

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 3>really hard to defend because what they do is the

0:29:58.400 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 3>hardest thing to do, which is the in the past.

0:30:01.440 --> 0:30:03.760
<v Speaker 3>They play fast, they put a lot of pressure on you,

0:30:03.800 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 3>and they're much improved defensive team. They were a top

0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 3>four team in the league since the first of the year.

0:30:09.360 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Having said that, you want a guy who he sawed

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 3>last night with Brunson. You need a guy that can

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.440
<v Speaker 3>score against great defense. When you play a seven game series,

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 3>you can't trick anybody. You're not bringing in new concepts.

0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 3>You're not gonna recreate how you play. We know what

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:29.200
<v Speaker 3>you do, you know what we do. And as you

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 3>get later in the series, you gotta have guys that

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 3>can go beat their man. They can win matchups and

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 3>compromise your defense. And Jalen Brunson has consistently in the

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 3>postseason has shown you he can do that. And they

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 3>built that team to play the Celtics. They've got great

0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 3>positional side on the wings. Those guys are great two

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:54.880
<v Speaker 3>way players with anonob and Bridges, and while they don't

0:30:54.920 --> 0:30:58.800
<v Speaker 3>have the depths, it hasn't been an issue for them

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 3>as of yet, and so I would if those two

0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 3>teams end up meeting and right now the odds are

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.640
<v Speaker 3>looking that way, that both up three to one. I

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 3>would give a slight edge to the Knicks because of that. Now,

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 3>having said that, this Pacers team, they are really good.

0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 3>I thought they were the most underrated team in the postseason.

0:31:17.200 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 3>They've proven that to be the case. They've been dominant

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 3>in this series. Now, missus injuries, this, that, and the other,

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 3>but they have dominated a team that have been dominant

0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 3>over the entire regular season. So you got to tip

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 3>your hat to Rick Carlisle and his group.

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 4>How do you think NBC is going to use Michael

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Jordan with their NBA coverage?

0:31:35.280 --> 0:31:35.560
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Man, I was pumped to hear that, right. You know,

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 3>in a lot of ways, he became Michael Jordan at NBC. Right.

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.240
<v Speaker 3>They both really benefited from that. That's where the game

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 3>had as greate as growth to the likes of which

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 3>we've never seen it. I've been really impressed with what

0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:54.000
<v Speaker 3>they've done thus far. If you've seen the promo they

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.120
<v Speaker 3>put out not too long ago where they incorporated all

0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 3>of their broadcast talent and people involved with the network

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 3>of peacause, I thought that was brilliant. It'll be I

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 3>gotta believe that he's gonna They're gonna have to be

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:11.080
<v Speaker 3>able to go back to who he was as a player.

0:32:12.360 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I hope they do that. I don't think he's gonna

0:32:14.040 --> 0:32:15.840
<v Speaker 3>be in the studio show. I don't think he's gonna

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:18.959
<v Speaker 3>be doing games, but I would like to hear his

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:23.720
<v Speaker 3>perspective and how he looks at today's crop of stars

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 3>and just opposed that to what he dealt with. So

0:32:27.480 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure how they're gonna use him, but I'll

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 3>be tuning in, you know, obviously, as we all are,

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 3>because of what he's meant to our game.

0:32:35.200 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:38.479
<v Speaker 3>And it's awesome that after all these years, he's at

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:41.760
<v Speaker 3>least going to let us the viewing public, have a

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:44.760
<v Speaker 3>little insight into his mindset and who he is. I

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 3>think the last Dance helped with that, and I think

0:32:47.320 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 3>this could be a further further in some of that.

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 4>Has Reggie Miller ever admitted that he pushed off.

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, multiple times he's admitted it, but yeah he did.

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 3>But we we listen, we gave that gave away and

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 3>and that was that game cost us. I think we

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:06.760
<v Speaker 3>lost that series. I mean, we beat them for the

0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 3>most part when we played against but yeah, that that one,

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:11.920
<v Speaker 3>that was haunting. I'm just glad I got to work

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 3>the Bucks Pacers game when the Pacers did it to

0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 3>the Bucks. You know that that that kind of allowed

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:21.920
<v Speaker 3>me to purge some demons a little bit now because

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 3>that was an amazing game, and I can It's funny

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 3>in the moment, you know, you're such there's such shock

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 3>when you actually go through it. You have no real

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:35.320
<v Speaker 3>perspective historically, right uh until well after So now on

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 3>the outside looking in watching that materialize, Man, that is

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 3>just it's still hard to imagine something like that could happen. Uh,

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 3>and unfortunately happened to me. But but uh, Nick, But yeah,

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad that we now have something else to reference

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to historical comebacks. That's for sure.

0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 2>Great to talk to you. I hope you're doing well.

0:33:59.160 --> 0:34:02.400

<v Speaker 2>forthcoming each seven to seven, three DP Show Brent in Georgia.

0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Hi Brent, what's on your mind today?

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Hey? dB?

0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 7>What's going on?

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Amen?

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:45.359
<v Speaker 7>Listen? I wanted to bring something to your attension, little

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 7>food for thought. I feel like I've discovered a huge

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:52.920
<v Speaker 7>oversight in your strategy for celebrity family few that could

0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:57.000
<v Speaker 7>be particularly detrimental to your team. Okay, so I know

0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 7>you guys were trying to figure out the lineup and

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 7>elephant in the room is trying to hide Fritzy as

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 7>best as possible, and that has been brought up that

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:09.480
<v Speaker 7>he needed to be on the end so that he

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:12.719
<v Speaker 7>wouldn't have to face the podium. But the caveat to

0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:16.920
<v Speaker 7>that is, if by chance, you guys were tied at

0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 7>the very end, then Fritzy's going to go to a

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 7>sudden death situation where he's the one and done. He

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:24.319
<v Speaker 7>has one answer, and it's all your whole game is

0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 7>relying on him. Do you want to put all your

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:30.520
<v Speaker 7>eggs in that one basket at that very moment? How

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:36.400
<v Speaker 7>would you manage my lineup. I think I would go

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.920
<v Speaker 7>you first, because you're you're the all Star. I think

0:35:39.960 --> 0:35:47.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to go Marvin next, then Fritzy, then Scene,

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 7>and then Pauli at the end.

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 4>All right, well, thank you Brent.

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Once again, still shuffling the lineup. I got to look

0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 2>at the analytics here. Not quite sure you know what

0:35:57.120 --> 0:35:59.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to do, but I could be comfortable with that.

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:00.560
<v Speaker 4>I could be.

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Maggie and Minneapolis him. Maggie, what's on your mind today?

0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:06.719
<v Speaker 16>Well, what's going on?

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:07.000
<v Speaker 8>DP?

0:36:07.880 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, I just had to take on, you know, the

0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 16>Michael Jordan's bit about his role with NBC. I know

0:36:14.520 --> 0:36:18.520
<v Speaker 16>Mad Dog kind of mentioned how he you know, they

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:20.479
<v Speaker 16>may have just signed him and figured it out later.

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:25.879
<v Speaker 16>I would just say, man, mj is so crafted with

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 16>what he wants to do with his image and his

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:32.279
<v Speaker 16>public words, and so I would say he had to

0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:34.960
<v Speaker 16>sign that deal knowing what his role was going to be,

0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:39.360
<v Speaker 16>and I'm excited to find out and also love love aunt.

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:42.400
<v Speaker 16>He's a star and everybody in Minnesota loves them and

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:43.919
<v Speaker 16>go Wolf.

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:45.320
<v Speaker 3>All right, thank you, Maggie.

0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know what Jordan's role is, and I

0:36:48.719 --> 0:36:51.520
<v Speaker 2>did reach out to people who may have made that

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:55.719
<v Speaker 2>decision and didn't get an answer. But I respect the

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>time frame that you're announcing. He's part of it. I

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you're kind of working out the details

0:37:01.160 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 2>of that the fine fine print. Jason in Atlanta, Hi Jason,

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:06.840
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind today?

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Hey Jas?

0:37:14.440 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 4>Thank you Jays. This day in sports history, Paul I.

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 5>Got a few for you.

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:21.080
<v Speaker 11>Mickey Mantle in nineteen fifty five hit four consecutive home

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 11>runs in a game. Reggie Jackson nineteen eighty three became

0:37:24.680 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 11>the first MLB player to strike out two thousand times

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.920
<v Speaker 11>in a career. Wayne Gretzky nineteen eighty nine. He hosted

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 11>Center in It Live and at Yankee Stadium in nineteen

0:37:36.080 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 11>ninety one, Fans sang Madonna song Like a Virgin to

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:42.600
<v Speaker 11>Jose Canseco random.

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 2>He was dating Geting Madge at the time.

0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:46.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah he was, yeah, yeah.

0:37:47.719 --> 0:37:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I think Madge took down a couple of Yankees Alex Rodriguez,

0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 2>oh and Josie Conseko.

0:37:56.960 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 11>Jose Canseco I found more on this story. He was

0:37:59.160 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 11>caught by a tablet photographer walking out of her apartment

0:38:03.640 --> 0:38:04.880
<v Speaker 11>at two am.

0:38:04.560 --> 0:38:09.360
<v Speaker 4>Who hasn't been caught doing them. I mean Ama.

0:38:08.400 --> 0:38:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Central Park West, if memory serves me correctly, in the sixties,

0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:20.479
<v Speaker 2>not nineteen sixties. All right, saying some of us don't

0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:27.320
<v Speaker 2>kiss and tell. Let's see Curtis in Illinois. Hi, Curtis,

0:38:27.320 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind today?

0:38:30.000 --> 0:38:31.560
<v Speaker 7>Well in DP, Thanks for squeezing me in.

0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:34.279
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I just wanted to chime in on yesterday you

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:37.240
<v Speaker 9>were talking to how you'd take Cousins over Carr's career.

0:38:38.560 --> 0:38:41.239
<v Speaker 9>I would disagree with that. My main reason behind it

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:44.240
<v Speaker 9>is Kirk Cousins has to would be in the luckiest

0:38:44.360 --> 0:38:48.000
<v Speaker 9>quarterback in terms of the coaches Heath had. I feel

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:51.879
<v Speaker 9>like they squeezed every ounce of talent from being coached

0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:55.320
<v Speaker 9>by the Shanahans to having McVeigh and then Matt Lafleur

0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:58.440
<v Speaker 9>as his quarterback coach, and then even on the Minnesota

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:02.239
<v Speaker 9>Zimmer was a defensive guy, had Stefanski and then O'Connell

0:39:02.600 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 9>with the kubi X.

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I mean, i've it's it's not going to come

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 2>down to a decision anytime soon for anybody. But I

0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:14.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know if any other show is doing the Derek

0:39:14.600 --> 0:39:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Carr Kirk Cousins, who would you rather have? But we've

0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:21.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of corner cornered the market on that strong though.

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:27.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I like when a topic bleeds over

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:29.239
<v Speaker 2>the next day or the day after that, like, hey,

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:30.520
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get in on Monday.

0:39:30.560 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I just want to bring this up and.

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Be like, all right, it's still still thinking on this one, though.

0:39:34.719 --> 0:39:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I getchy still bothers me. I guess some Braves fans

0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 2>are upset because I said, you you you don't if

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:44.440
<v Speaker 2>you're Boston the Celtics, you don't want to come away

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:49.439
<v Speaker 2>from this era with one title, because I would love

0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:51.960
<v Speaker 2>to see them get another title, just so it is

0:39:52.440 --> 0:39:56.560
<v Speaker 2>a dynasty of sorts, because they've certainly given the appearance

0:39:56.600 --> 0:39:58.640
<v Speaker 2>of that being the best team in the NBA for

0:39:58.680 --> 0:39:59.239
<v Speaker 2>a little while.

0:39:59.239 --> 0:39:59.439
<v Speaker 3>Here.

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 2>The Rabes won one title, they were unbelievable in the nineties.

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:07.400
<v Speaker 2>But three Hall of Famers in your pitching staff, a

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Famer at third base, and one World Series title.

0:40:11.719 --> 0:40:13.440
<v Speaker 2>That'd be a disappointment, yes, Mark.

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:15.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the Marlins and the Braves had the same amount

0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 5>of titles in the nineteen nineties.

0:40:17.840 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 4>Wow, wow, Yeah, but the Marlins won two titles.

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 5>Oh oh three? You're right, yes, but I've just made

0:40:24.560 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 5>during that entire run of the nineties.

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:40:26.840 --> 0:40:29.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the Marlin's like, Okay, I guess we'll won one.

0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:32.600
<v Speaker 2>The Marlins philosophy was every five years, you'd go, man,

0:40:32.640 --> 0:40:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Marlin's pretty good, and then they would win, and then

0:40:35.600 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden we wouldn't hear from them for

0:40:37.640 --> 0:40:38.520
<v Speaker 2>the next four years.

0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:41.640
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Mark, they have two World Series titles, and I'm

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:43.560
<v Speaker 5>almost certain they have no Division titles.

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:50.680
<v Speaker 4>Jeff, Jeff Conine and mister Marlin. Yeah, yes, Paul.

0:40:50.960 --> 0:40:54.280
<v Speaker 11>The Florida Marlins now Miami Marlins have made the playoffs

0:40:55.239 --> 0:40:58.319
<v Speaker 11>four times in thirty three years. Two of those times

0:40:58.360 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 11>they won the World Series.

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:01.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how about that.

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:03.600

<v Speaker 17>Chris Medo Russa doesn't think there's a conspiracy with the

0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:15.160
<v Speaker 17>NBA lottery result, but it's a very bad look and

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:16.239
<v Speaker 17>raises eyebrows.

0:41:16.600 --> 0:41:20.640
