1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Tuesday, Dan and the 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Dan as Dan Patrick Show. I'm glad to have you 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: on board. Adrian Wochenaranski will join us on loan from 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: the Mothership coming up Mavericks extend Luca five years, two 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: hundred and seven million dollars and he's twenty two years 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: of age eight seven seven three DP show email address 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: DP at dan Patrick dot com. Still mixed reports on 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson? Is he going to play this year? Is 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: he going to sit this year? Is he going to 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: travel with the team to the next game? And if not, 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: why is he not traveling? Is he injured? Are they 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: just trying to keep him from being a distraction when 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: they're on the road. But as it stands right now, 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: mixed reports on de Shaun Watson. He'll never play a 16 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: game for the Texans another game, and I guess there's 17 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: still the window of hope that maybe he does play 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: for the team this year. But as it stands now, 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: anybody's guests because you still have to factor in what 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: the NFL was going to do could do, and then 21 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: you have the lawsuits here that right now, no criminal charges, 22 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: but he's not going to be deposed in these civil 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: lawsuits until February. Yes, Paul I checked his contract. Deshaun 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: Watson is under contract for this season and basically the 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: next four seasons. They have him locked up at a 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: actually friendly rate about thirty million dollars a year thirty 27 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: five million. They paid most of his bonus money already. 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: Any chance they weather this the team and get a 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: top five draft pick, and hopefully this works out, what 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: they have to trade him? They have to, Well, he 31 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: doesn't want to play there, does he have that kind 32 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: of leverage anymore to say where he plays? It seems 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: like he's lost it. I don't know. Well, the team 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: has to realize this that they have to move on 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: from him, and you don't like you have to just 36 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: kind of wipe it clean and just say, let's let's 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: move on. If you keep him, he's not playing, then 38 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: you got to pay him. Well, I guess if he 39 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: didn't play this season, with the commissioners left for half 40 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: the season, you still have under contract for the next 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: four seasons. You'll have the number one or two pick 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: of the draft, and Prank could either trade it or 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: build around him and he's under contract. You have a 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: great quarterback under contract. That's hard to pass up, even 45 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: with the off field stuff. Well, I don't know how 46 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: that works that if I'm paying you but you don't 47 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: want to play? Here is there a stalemate here where 48 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you say, hey, I want you 49 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: starting today. Hey we're opening the season, you're playing, And 50 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: then he says he doesn't want to play. Then I'm 51 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: able to find him right now. I don't know what 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: you know with the legal background here or the players Association, 53 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: or what the ownership, GM coach, what kind of authority 54 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: they have here, But at some point, if I'm the Texans, 55 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,839 Speaker 1: I'm like, we're paying you, we want you to play. Yeah, 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm club. That's like an old school holdout, right, Like 57 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: didn't Emmitt Smith to holdout or somebody? We used to 58 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: have that a lot. That was in ninety one and 59 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: he held out two games and they ended up winning 60 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I think that year not that we 61 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: can expect the same from the Texans eight seven seven 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: three DP show email address DP at Dan Patrick dot com, 63 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: Twitter handle at dp show mc love and the poll 64 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: question twenty five and under athlete, we you'd invest in. Yeah, 65 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes ran away with it. We got a few 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: tweets of some other guys. Can I ask if any 67 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: of these guys belong. Okay, I'll say it wrong, but 68 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: the that American soccer player Christian pulisicli yes, Juan Soda, 69 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. With the Nationals, we got a couple 70 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: Jason Tatums Yeah, no, uh. And then there's a couple 71 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: other baseball players Ronald Kunjer Junior. No, they're nice. These 72 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: are all nice players. But I'm talking about somebody that 73 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: is just different, like Luca Counts. Yeah, Luca is different. 74 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes is different. Jason Tatums are really good player, Soto 75 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: really good player, but they're a notch below because this 76 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: is different. This is I have a really intriguing athlete personality. 77 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Luca plays nationally, If he plays worldwide, that's global, 78 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: and that's what you want. Mahomes, you know and widely recognized, 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: if not the best quarterback in the NFL, the second 80 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: bast on a team that you know could go to 81 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: another Super Bowl again with him this year. Yeah, I'm 82 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: a club. I'm being way ahead of myself. Any chance 83 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: Luca fills some of the vacuum, and Lebron leaves as 84 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: like the best player in the sport. Somebody's going to 85 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: have to fill that vacuum because this is different. This 86 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: is not just you're a really good basketball player. Lebron 87 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: was a whole lot more than just being a really 88 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: good basketball player. Great basketball player. Jordan was more than 89 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: just being a great basketball player. Magic was more. A 90 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: bird was more. When when you say, oh, you know 91 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: the next guy coming in, the next guy, there is 92 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: no Lebron coming in. It'll be somebody else who does 93 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: something in a different way, but you know his Trey Young. 94 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: The future is Luca, The future is on. The future 95 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: is somebody in the next couple of years. That's a 96 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: really big void because the NBA. Lebron has been the 97 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: most valuable player to the NBA since he got in 98 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: the league, and trying to find somebody like that who 99 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: plays at that kind of level doesn't get in trouble, 100 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,559 Speaker 1: it wins championships, plays for championships. That's going to be really, 101 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: really hard to fund. And I don't know what Dallas 102 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: does to build around Luca to make that a championship team, 103 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: because when Mark Cuban was building around Dirk Novitsky when 104 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: they won their title beating the Miami Heat. You got 105 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: to find the right people. But Dirk wasn't a ball dominant. 106 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: He was just a great scorer. Lucas a ball dominant. 107 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: It's one thing to play with the score. It's another 108 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: thing to play with somebody who's ball dominant. And I 109 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: think that's the tricky part here of trying to get 110 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: free agents to play there, and even you know the 111 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: players that you draft, who fits in, who compliments Luca 112 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: as you move forward, because I'm guessing if you're signing 113 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: him to that five year deal, two hundred million dollars, 114 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: you expect you're an NBA championship over the next five years. 115 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: It's not all on Luca, but that's what I would 116 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: expect here. Yeah. See, it's kind of like you need 117 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: a couple of good shooters and then a bunch of 118 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: people who can rebound really well. Yeah, he could use 119 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: an Anthony Davis is what he could use. But you're 120 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: not getting one of those guys, yes, PAULI. He'd take 121 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: a Chris Middleton, a guy who doesn't need to be 122 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: a star, but it's not scared to shoot late. But 123 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: they got Hardaway Junior who has been a whole lot 124 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: better than people thought, and they've resigned him. They missed 125 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: out on Kyle Lowering. Yeah, who are some other guys 126 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: that are like good enough that you expect him to 127 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: win a title? Like Janis was in that category as Joker, 128 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna win a title if you get 129 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: the right pieces around him. Well, Jamal Murray's going to 130 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: be out. He might miss all next year. Joker was great, 131 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: but it'd be hard for him to repeat his MVP 132 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of okay, saw this like that's that's 133 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: when you're trying to go, Okay, hey, that guy's gonna 134 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: be MVP again this year. We a lot of people 135 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: thought Luca was going to be the MVP, and I 136 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: just didn't think they were going to be good enough 137 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: as a team for him to be MVP. You know, 138 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 1: keep in mind, Denver was a really good team, good record, 139 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: and Luca or the Joker played in most of the 140 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: games and be lost the MVP because he missed whatever 141 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: twenty games or so it felt like. But as far 142 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: as the face of the NBA, maybe Zion, but it 143 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: feels like it's it's gonna be Luca at least for 144 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: you know, the next few years. Yeah, I'm club any 145 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen, eighteen year olds like piquing your interests. There's 146 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: a way, Brownie Monti Bates, Well, Monty Bates, But I 147 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: don't know what he's going to do. He narrowed down, 148 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: like when they narrowed down their list and it's still 149 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: like ten teams, ten schools the G League, and you're like, 150 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't think you narrowed this down. How might we 151 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: narrow it down to like three? But Bates with all 152 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: the hype surrounding him, See that's another thing. Lebron lived 153 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: up to the hype. And you know that's even more amazing. 154 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: You're sixteen, you're on the cover of Sports Illustrated, you 155 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: come out. I remember talking to a scout Lebron's first 156 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: game and the scout said he wasn't even the best 157 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: player on his own team, and I went, wow, because 158 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: he's not, And I thought, Okay. Then you know, you 159 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: start to lower your expectations, like, okay, maybe he seems 160 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: like he's ready to play in the NBA, and then 161 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: we realized that he could. But I think the initial 162 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: reaction it's like one player who's doesn't play golf anymore, 163 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: but told me when Tiger first came on tour, it's like, 164 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: you know what, people are making a bigger deal out 165 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: of this, And I thought, oh, okay, but I think 166 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: it's because you're you're a veteran and you're watching somebody 167 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: him in who gets all of the compliments, all the coverage, 168 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: and then you're like, he's not all that. He gave 169 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: you the about Tiger Wood. If there was like a 170 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: ten commandments of freezing cold takes, that might be number one. Yeah, well, 171 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: holy I have not brought it up to this person. 172 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: But I don't even want to tell you if he's 173 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: part of the game anymore. Oh that's a handsOn. Now, 174 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: don't want to say that he plays golf anymore, because 175 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: he did say he's not he's not all that. Now 176 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: went okay, now the scout saying, you know, he's not 177 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: even the best player of his own team, Like, okay, yes, yeah, 178 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: Lebron not being the best player team. The two of 179 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: them are the one and two, the Alpha and Omega 180 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: freezing home. It's pretty pretty good, pretty good. And they 181 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: said it in such a matter of fact way you 182 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: almost get the feeling they would have said it on 183 00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: the record. Uh yeah, Paulli who was more famous at 184 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: eighteen Tiger or Lebron. Tiger was well known more to 185 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: golf fans, but he hadn't gone pro yet. It was 186 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: more like twenty twenty one with him right at stan Well, 187 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: keep in mind he was on the Mike Douglas Show 188 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: at age two. Yeah, hitting golf show. He was always relevant. 189 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: You heard about this guy that was coming. But then 190 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: when he got to Stanford, it was like I think 191 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: when he won the Amateurs, Yeah, he won won three 192 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: of those I think, and then had his coming out party. 193 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: Lebron's senior year. I remember being on ES games being 194 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: on ESPN two. You could tune into a couple different 195 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: of his, was it Saint Saint Vincent's or something. You 196 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: could watch those games on national TV. It seemed like 197 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,599 Speaker 1: it's the nature of the sport, I guess, and the 198 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: popularity of basketball of a golf that the fact that 199 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: they would be showing Lebron high school games that they 200 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: weren't showing Tiger playing like in you know, high school 201 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: or college events that wouldn't be televised you have to 202 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: find that on the web or something similar. Yeah, Lebron 203 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: was thank you Todd. Lebron was featured prominently by ESPN. 204 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: But I I I'm trying to remember the first time 205 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: I saw Tiger play competitively, and it probably was at 206 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: the the Amateurs I'm guessing, and he was probably eighteen 207 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: nineteen maybe yeah, pull it feels like Arch Manning, the 208 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: son of Cooper Manning, is going to go through that. 209 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: I think he's sixteen years old and going to be 210 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: a junior in high school. He's not even it's not 211 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: even senior year yet, and people don't his games have 212 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: already been on TV. They're going to be on TV 213 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: this year. I've seen the schedule. Yeah, and I wonder, 214 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, when he starts to capitalize the name, image 215 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 1: and likeness, you know soon that might be like it 216 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 1: just in terms of name, Like the most powerful brand 217 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: name in sports is Manning. I mean you could make 218 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: that argument. Well, I would say the Jordan brand, But 219 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: there's his His kids didn't play ball at a high level. 220 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: The only reason that kids getting any coverage is because 221 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: of his last Yeah, I think he would get coverage 222 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: for being a great quarterback, but he would not get 223 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: what he's getting now. Yes, I think Bronnie is the 224 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: same way, like we wouldn't know Lebron James Junior. I 225 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: think that's his name. If like, it's the same, similar 226 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Although Arch is a better prot is 227 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: who's a better prospect, Bronnie or Arch? Does anyone know? 228 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: I would say Arch? Yeah, Arch is legit number one. Yeah, 229 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: I would say Arch. I've watched Brownie, watched two games 230 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: of his Summer League games, and he's he's good at times, 231 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: really good. But I didn't I didn't always look out 232 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: there and see the best player on the floor. And 233 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I know the expectation level is high, but it's because 234 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: he's the son of Lebron James. If I watched Arch 235 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: Manning play, which I haven't, I've only seen the highlights, 236 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'd be curious. Well, when you watch an 237 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: entire game, that's when you get a full sense, a 238 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: true sense of the ability that somebody has. When you 239 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: watched the high lines, you're going, man, this guy can 240 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: do no wrong. It's when you watch them and you 241 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: see like when do they pick their spots? They're spurts, 242 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: who they take over? Do they take a big shot? 243 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: And you know he's a good player, But I didn't 244 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: think he was a great player. Yes, cub, you say 245 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Bronnie James isn't the best player on his own team. 246 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: I didn't. But he might not be the best player 247 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: on his own team. But his team was stacked like 248 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: he had Dwayne Wade's son. I mean, there were a 249 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: lot of great players that he plays with on that 250 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: Uh is that Sierra yea club? I saw, by the way, 251 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: when Quinn Ewers the number one football player prospect out 252 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: of Texas when he went there, Ohio? He went there. 253 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: I say ESPN had three scheduled games of him, the 254 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: three primetime games that they were really upset about. Did 255 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: you see where he's already signed a name, image and 256 00:13:52,160 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: likeness deal selling kombucha Yeah, Texas style. He's slanging in 257 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: kombucha Yeah, healthy, healthy drink. Yeah. Yes, what are your 258 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: Ohio State? I got you gotta call your Ohio State 259 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: sources and fight out what the deal is? Is he 260 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: gonna play is unbelievable because he skipped his senior year. 261 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: It's like he wanted to get started. I'm gonna go 262 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: to Ohio State and compete. Yeah, boy, it would be 263 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: great if Bronnie James left cr mist or whatever school 264 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: is going to Canyon. That's her mask got the mist 265 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: Well what if you just went to like a nice 266 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: college and went for all four years, you know, went 267 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: to complete opposite of what we think that instead of 268 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: going right to the pros or you know, the G 269 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: League or whatever.

Hey, DP, Mini time, long time, 275 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: six foot one? I can play UM twenty twenty two, 276 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: the first year Devin Hester is eligible for the Hall 277 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: of Fame. YEP, and uh, Personally, I think he's the 278 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: best return man I've ever seen. I was fortunate enough 279 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: to be in Chicago in two thousand and six when 280 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: the Bears made their big Super Bowl run. I think 281 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: it ended with Tayton Manning, but he took the opening 282 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: kickoff to the house. Be most electric kickoff man I've 283 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: ever seen, um, hands down in a game. So what's 284 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: your opinion on him? Does he make the Hall of 285 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: Fame first ballot, and known to knock on him is 286 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: he wasn't a great why receiver. He's one trick, Tony, 287 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: but man, what a what a trick that was. I 288 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: would put him in the Hall of Fame. But I 289 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: believe in those guys who were special teamers here like 290 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: a punter, as crazy as that may sound, a punter 291 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: can change the entire complexion of a football game. When 292 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: you have that guy who is awesome inside the fifteen 293 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: or inside the ten, you know, justin Tucker that that's 294 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: such a weapon to have. And Devin Hester was a 295 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: weapon every time he went back. And I remember talking 296 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: to Tony Dungee about that that he said absolutely not 297 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: kicking the opening kickoff in the Super Bowl to Devon 298 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: Hester when the Colts played the Bears. He was not 299 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: doing him and then decided to do it, and Devin 300 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: Hester ran him back for a dutchdown. Devin Hester, to me, 301 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: is a Hall of Famer. But I don't know the 302 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: criteria of those voting, and it's a very tough job, 303 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: but I think Devin Hester is not a first ballot 304 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, but I do think he's a Hall 305 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: of Famer. Absolutely, Yeah, Paul I always thought the Bears 306 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: mismanaged Hester a little bit after his first two years. 307 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: He's All Pro both years, first team. They kind of 308 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: eased up on his kick returns a lot, and he 309 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: used up on his punt returns because they worked him 310 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: in in other positions at wide receiver and it gave 311 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: him a lot less reps. I wonder whose numbers would 312 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: have been if they had made him full time kick, 313 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: full time punt return Well, his records are not going 314 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: to be broken. We don't have kickoffs anymore, that's right. 315 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Devin Hester will be the greatest kickoff returner 316 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: of all time and less. In another generation, another decade 317 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: or two, they decide that they want to bring the kickoffs, 318 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: being like, why don't we get rid of kickoffs? They 319 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: weren't safe, remember that concussion lawsuit? Yeah, oh yeah, it's right. Yeah, 320 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: MC club. When you look at the list of the 321 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: top returner, it's like he's the only real Hall of 322 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: Famer on here. Dante Hall, Brian Mitchell, Mel Gray, everybody 323 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: else on the list. Josh Cribbs, No, none of those 324 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: guys are probably no, they're none.

Amari Bailey is 348 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: considered the better prospect there with Lebron James. But but 349 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: Bronnie is very good. I don't know if he's NBA. 350 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: I don't know what the scouts say about him. I 351 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: just watched him in two games.

We make Way for es in Senior NBA 355 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: insider Host of the WOJ podcast, Adrian Wogan arounski Wog, 356 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. Can you explain what the supermax 357 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: rules are? That was there any kind of leverage or 358 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: like Luca was getting two hundred and seven million no 359 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: matter what? That's right, Dan? And what's different about Luca's 360 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: supermax off of his rookie extension that you know, you've 361 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: seen other rookie extensions and you see the two hundred 362 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 1: and seven million dollars number or two O two last 363 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: year ninety five based on where the salary cap is. 364 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: He's the first player to sign this deal who's already 365 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 1: fulfilled the requirements to get the Supermax. So you have 366 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: to make All NBA or win MV. I think it's 367 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: all All NBA MVP or maybe even Defensive Player of 368 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: the Year. Any combination of those in two out of 369 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: three years earns you that thirty percent of the cap, 370 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: which takes you from essentially one seventy five to two 371 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: oh seven. So Lucas the first one to sign this 372 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: deal having already been All NBA twice. Other great young 373 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: players Tatum and Donovan, Mitchell, Trey Young, they can earn 374 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: that two hundred million in their deal if they become 375 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: All NBA twice. Lucas the first one who's already done 376 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: it at twenty two years old twice before he signed 377 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: the contract. Why did everybody jump on Mark Cuban's jet 378 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: and go to Slovenia for the signing, including Jason Kidd? 379 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: If it's a foregone conclusion. Did they have to massage 380 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: him a little bit nurture him a little bit here? 381 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: I think it's just a sign of respect of what 382 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: he means to that organization that they would come and 383 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: do it collectively and formally present it to him. There 384 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: was going to be a press conference later today in Slovenia. 385 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: But I think it's just because of who he is, 386 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: what he means to the organization. You know, we're not 387 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: going to do anything but but be buttoned up, comes 388 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: see you present it, tell you what you mean to us? 389 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: And and and haven't signed a contract. I wonder and 390 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: as many people as you talk to, can the MAVs 391 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: build a championship team around Luca? And if so, how 392 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: do you do that? Well? That you certainly can build 393 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: one around him. There's no question he is that this 394 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: is a future MVP in the league, probably multiple MVPs 395 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: before he's done. Um, you know, I can listen. I 396 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: think the progress of Chris Epps Porzingis and his health, 397 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: I think mentally just I think embracing that role alongside Luca, 398 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: how this goes now with Jason Kidd, those are going 399 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: to be really important factors. And they traded for Porzingis 400 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: with the idea that this was going to be a 401 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: legit number two costar, and health has played a lot 402 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: of has been a lot of the factor of why 403 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: he's not been as effective. They need him to get healthy, 404 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: but certainly they need more. They're not there yet. They've 405 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: been knocked out in the first round twice by the Clippers. 406 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: But Lucas twenty two years old, and we can look 407 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: at the progression of other great players in the league. 408 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: You know, Jannis, the struggles he went through, finally winning 409 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: it at twenty six, right this year, So it's not 410 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: probably next year, it's not the year after. I think 411 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: we see how these things evolve. You know, it is 412 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: rare that you're going to win a title with your 413 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: best player at twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, even 414 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: when it's someone of the talent of Luca don chich. 415 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: Are the Lakers done with moves? Well, I think certainly 416 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: significant moves. I think there's still some room to add 417 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: another veteran minimum play to their roster. But but this 418 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: is largely the team they'll have. And you saw them 419 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: go out in free agency because of the Westbrook trade 420 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: and trade essentially three for one in that deal, losing 421 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: Crusoe to the Bulls. You know, they had to fill 422 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: out their roster and you kind of saw a combination 423 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: of some players who had been there before older. You know, 424 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: they get a couple of four men and Carmelo Anthony, 425 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: Trevor Riza come there, Dwight Howard comes back as a 426 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: as a center for them, and then a couple of 427 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: younger guards Malik Monk, Kendrick Nunn comes from Miami. So, 428 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: uh like, when you're the Lakers, you can get some 429 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: guys to take that veteran minimum deal, you know who 430 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: might might be able to make a little bit more elsewhere, 431 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: but you go there on a one year deal, you 432 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: have a chance to win a championship. You can increase 433 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: your value, and I think that's what a couple of 434 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: those guys are counting in. What do you think the 435 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: league reactions to what the Lakers did? Listen? I think, listen, 436 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: I think the people know that the Lakers, you know, 437 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: were formidable last year, they'll be formidable again. Health is 438 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: going to play a big part in this, and regardless 439 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: of the role players around their stars, Lebron James, Anthony Davis, 440 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, listen, health played a huge part and why 441 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: that team got knocked out and they lost to a 442 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: very good Phoenix team. And who knows, maybe at full 443 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: strength Phoenix though wins that series. We won't know, but 444 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: certainly Lebron, now you know, you know passed. I thin 445 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: it will be thirty seven right in the playoffs next year, 446 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis coming off of a significant injury. Keeping those 447 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: guys healthy. As you saw it last year in the postseason, 448 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: and you saw the team's Milwaukee for the most part, 449 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: was able to stay healthy. They did lose de Vincenzo. 450 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, health played a huge factor. I think when 451 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: there was this such attrition around the league coming off 452 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: of in that then schedule, and I'm sure that'll be 453 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: the case next year. But this is an LA team, 454 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,959 Speaker 1: especially because of the Lebron's age, You've got to go 455 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: for it every year. And now they bring in Russell Westbrook, 456 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: who listen, is going to bring a lot to that team. 457 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: They still have to subron that group with shooting. That's 458 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: not where Russ does. Russ is not going to be 459 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: a catch and shoot guy when the double teams. When 460 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: when Lebron kicks it out, Russ is going to still 461 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: attack the rim. And so it's a different dynamic for them. 462 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: What about Dennis Shrewder who turned down that extension. And 463 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: now there's a report this morning that maybe you'll sign 464 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: with the Celtics. Could could the Lakers have done a 465 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: sign and trade with him to get something in return? 466 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: They could do one if that interested them, they have 467 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: the ability. I've not since that's been something for them 468 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: that because remember, somebody else has to want to give 469 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: up something of value. And I think teams, you know, 470 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: there's teams who can sign Shrewder, probably not not certainly 471 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: the number that he could have had with the Lakers. 472 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 1: But I haven't gotten a sense since free agency has 473 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: really gotten rolling that there've been a lot of sign 474 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: and trade scenarios. Again, if the Lakers are going to 475 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: take somebody on and they're into tax and remember that 476 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: player is going to cost them exponentially more because of 477 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: the tax bill, you know, you've got to think that 478 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 1: the guy whose contract is probably going to be two 479 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: or three times what he makes on your tax bill, 480 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: is that worth taking on? And so and again teams don't. 481 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 1: I don't think they feel like they've got to give 482 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: up something of great quality to bring in Dennis Shrewder. 483 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: Now they can sign them if they have their mid 484 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 1: level exception that taxpayermid level, which is around six million, 485 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: they can sign them to. That. Is there any chance 486 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: that an owner could just say I don't care about 487 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: the tax ramifications like Steve Ballmer has how many billions 488 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: and billions of dollars that like the Yankees, they just 489 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: said we don't care what the luxury tax is. Could 490 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: you see an NBA owner going rogue and just saying, hey, 491 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: go and I'll pay it. I'm but I well blow 492 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 1: through the stop sign. Yeah, I mean we've seen it. 493 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Golden States tax bill has been enormous. I 494 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: mean they brought in Kelly Ubrey last year and his salary, 495 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: I think he costs them. Trying to remember just Ubray's 496 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: salary was over I think fifty million dollars when you 497 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: put in the tax, that's commitment that that's a lot 498 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: of money for Kelly Ubrey in a year where you 499 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: probably where you know you're not going to win the 500 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: title without Klay Thompson last year. Listen, Brooklyn's tax bill 501 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: is going to be enormous. The Lakers are going to 502 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: be and Steve Ballmer and with the Clippers once they 503 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: resigned Kawhi Leonard. So I think teams have gone significantly 504 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: in it. You know, if you remember proker Off in 505 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: Brooklyn early on with the nets, they didn't have success, 506 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: it was no object to them. So I think we've 507 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 1: seen it. You know, I guess it's all relative to 508 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: you know, how astronomical it goes. But there comes a 509 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: point where you're locked in by the cap or you 510 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: just can't. You can't just keep adding big salaries. You're 511 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: essentially um that the cap doesn't work necessarily that way 512 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 1: where you get locked in at certain slots, and so 513 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: you're just paying, you know, a ton of packs for 514 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: a guy making three or four or five or six million. 515 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he's a great player, and that makes 516 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: any sense to do it? Did you trademark wog No, 517 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: not that I know of. You should probably do it today. 518 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: Why something happened? Well, I don't know. I just like, 519 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I just think you just go with one name. It's 520 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 1: like I think you've you've earned at staying Prince Madonna 521 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: wog Yeah, hadn't, hadn't thought of it in that grouping, 522 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: but but yeah, that's something I'll check into this afternoon. Dan, Okay, 523 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: not this morning, but this afternoon, you will right after 524 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: lunch and trademark wog bomb too. Well, there you go, Okay, Okay, 525 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: I hadn't thought any of these. Thanks, Thanks damn all right, 526 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: thank you. I'd be well. Adrian woging around Ski I'm 527 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: just helping out Denzel, a senior NBA insider host of 528 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: the Watch Watch the Watch podcast. Yes, we should trademark 529 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,239 Speaker 1: Narowski just to get the other side of woj Oh 530 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: he gets Woja. We're like, okay, well we trade marked 531 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: Narrowski and he has to buy it back from us. Yeah, 532 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: Narrowski bomb trademarked Tam. Yeah. I don't want to get 533 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: another season desist from anybody. We're good, like, I'm we 534 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: made a season desist T shirt, but I don't need 535 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: to get another season desist from from many athletes or 536 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: their representation. Yes, just to be clear, the former Duke 537 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: guard was wo Joe, right, did they call him? Yeah, Wojoe, 538 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: So he's not gonna get No, I don't think so, 539 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: because he might have tried to trademark that. But woj 540 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: is more famous. Oh by far. Yeah, Now that's just currently. 541 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if Joe had gotten the Duke job, who knows, 542 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: But I was John Shire. M hmm. I have the 543 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: NBA Championship odds here. Oh god, no, there's not This 544 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: isn't tricky is There's nothing to do with the jets 545 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: over under here. We're only an hour removed from the 546 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: last hour, I know, and I'm not going to do 547 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: that over under fifty three and a half win. No, 548 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: there's no wins. This is just these are the favorites 549 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: to win the NBA Championship. Let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 550 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: eight nine. Tenth on the list is Miami, Ninth on 551 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: the list, Denver. Then the Phoenix Suns, who are tied 552 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: with the Clippers. Then the seventy six ers Utah Jazz 553 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors are tied with the Milwaukee Bucks, third 554 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: best odds to win the title. Then it's the Lakers 555 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: and the Brooklyn Nets are the slight favorites to win 556 00:30:54,160 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: the NBA Championship. Here, you guys want to guess, Oh, 557 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: it's probably not that difficult to guess. Uh. These two teams, 558 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: their odds are plus fifty thousand to win the NBA Championship. Todd, 559 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say the team that has the lowest 560 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: chance of winning a championship. Okay, what McLevin he just 561 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: said to me, You mean the Lake. It's gotta be 562 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: the Lakers and Nets, right. I think it the exact 563 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: wrong for the best chance the worst chance, like Toronto 564 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: or something. But they're not that bad. It's not Toronto. 565 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: They're at plus ten thousand. These two teams are tied. 566 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,719 Speaker 1: Come on, kids, Yes, McLevin, tie has no idea. I 567 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: could just tell you like team for last year, the 568 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: t Wolves and the Grizzlies. No, uh, the Sacramento Kings. 569 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: Does Sacramento Kings? No? Is Houston still down there? No wait, no, 570 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: it's not Houston. It's Detroit and Cleveland. No wow, Yes, 571 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: Houston is not number one on that list. H Town? 572 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: Did they completely get their whole roster? And unless I uh, 573 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: this cut off the bottom of the page. Here the 574 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: Rockets were seventeen and fifty five last year. Um, McLevin, 575 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: did you give me the whole beat? That'd be so great. 576 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: Let me see here I got and probably cut off. 577 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: They cut off with the Cabs and the Pistons. Then 578 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: it's the Timberwolves, the King's Spurs, Wizards, Hornets, Grizzlies. Ben, 579 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: you're a Rockets fan out there, Hey, we're not gonna 580 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: be bad. Dan Patrick says, we're not so bad. Um, 581 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: can you check and see where the Rockets are on this? Oops? 582 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: This is why we don't gamble and when don't we 583 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: start in the sports book. You want to be rich? 584 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: Bet against us? Yeah, you people at home, don't bet 585 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: with us, bet against us?

In can we can we check 588 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: into the Rockets got to be tied with the Calves 589 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: and the Pistons because it cut off at the bottom 590 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: of the page. McLevin. Yeah, there's uh, Calves, Pistons, Magic, 591 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: Rockets and Thunder are all tied a fifty thousand. So 592 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: they're all, oh okay, so they're five last place, five 593 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 1: terrible teams. I knew the Pistons and the Rockets, the 594 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: Magic with Jalen Suggs. Is he any kind of transformational player? 595 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: He's a good He seems like he's going to be 596 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: a really good player. I got Cole Anthony in the 597 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: back court. You know who I watched last night was 598 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: lo Angelo Ball, the third ball brother, and uh, he's 599 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: trying to make the Hornets. He looked Okay, he's not athletic. 600 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: His other brothers are athletic. He's a better shooter, but 601 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll make the team. But you know, 602 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,479 Speaker 1: I was watching a little bit of that last night. 603 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: Let's take a break.

But Kevin 625 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: Durant did that getting into the league early, getting an 626 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: opportunity early, and being great early. That's what Luca was 627 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: able to do. That's why I got that supermax deal 628 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: of two hundred and seven million dollars. Johnny in Pittsburgh, 629 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: Hey Johnny, what's on your mind? Hey? Dan, sixty four 630 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: to twenty, So just pack it up.

And I said, oh, because 636 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: average sports fan, former journalists my entire life, this entire time, 637 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: have thought those two individuals were the same. Guy, I thought, 638 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: not kidding, not kidding. So I felt the only way 639 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: to release my guilt was to announce everyone I respect 640 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: that Johnny and you fit right in on this show. Yeah, 641 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: he's probably not the only person who thinks that. Yeah, 642 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: but thank you, Johnny good for him. Yeah it's not 643 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 1: NBA insider former Duke point guard Adrian wos and Roulski. 644 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Wog probably has game, but not like Woge 645 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: when he was at two. Wog does not slap the 646 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: floor when he has a Wog bomb there either. But 647 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: Luca and Oscar are the only two players to average 648 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 1: twenty five seven and seven per game over their first 649 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: three NBA season Select company there, and now I want 650 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,840 Speaker 1: to know, like what is next for Luca because you 651 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 1: don't want to get to that point where we almost 652 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 1: gout with Jannis where it's like, Okay, you're great during 653 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: the regular season, Hey you want a couple MVPs, When 654 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: are you going to win a championship? He doesn't have 655 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: to answer that question anytime soon. This is going to 656 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: be you know, you start to get up there, and 657 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: then fans and you know, media members they want to 658 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: get they want to go all right, now, what's next? Like, oh, yeah, 659 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: you're a great player, but got to win a championship, 660 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: compete for a championship. That'll be the next big pressure 661 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 1: for Luca. And the question is Willie have those assets there? 662 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: I don't think they're winning a championship the next two 663 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 1: years because the Lakers are still formidable. I think Golden 664 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: State is going to be really good as well. I 665 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: don't even wear Dallas. Where were the MAVs on that 666 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: list of odds that I screwed up? Let me go 667 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: back to the list here. Do you have that mcklevin on? 668 00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: I have the MAVs at plus three thousand, which is 669 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: sort of right around ten on this list. I have 670 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: a pull up a new ob Okay, all right, so 671 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. But yeah, well they've been balanced by 672 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: the Clippers the last two years, but not because of Luka. 673 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: I just don't think port Zingis is a great player. 674 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,879 Speaker 1: I think Tim Hardaway juniors is better than what people think. 675 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: But they wanted, you know, they were trying to get 676 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry as well, and maybe you have somebody who 677 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: handles the ball handling responsibilities. Take a little bit of 678 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: that off. Luca's played. Yes, I'm surprised by a team 679 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: like the Clippers being in the top ten with that 680 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: probably without Kauhi. Does that mean the West is wide open? 681 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: Or is that just people are betting on them for reputation. 682 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: I was surprised that the Clippers would be that high 683 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: if if Kawai's not going to play, how good is 684 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:54,320 Speaker 1: that roster? Because Utah will still be good, Phoenix is 685 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,439 Speaker 1: going to be good again. Denver should be good, but 686 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:03,840 Speaker 1: without Jamal not great. Portland will probably be in neutral, 687 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: Sacramento below average, the Rockets below average. Who else is 688 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: in there that you got him all? The Pelicans are 689 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 1: the next one on the list. Yeah, but they're a 690 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: little bit they're like seventeen, you know, Memphis, you know 691 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: those are side of sort of teams on the Priphrey 692 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: of being good teams. Yeappo. The Miami Heat are now 693 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,480 Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack for NBA Chat title odds. 694 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: I would have thought after, you know, a year ago, 695 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: would have thought that they would be toppy. And it 696 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: feels like they've cooled off a lot. Yeah, since they 697 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: made run to the NBA finals there, but you know, 698 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: that's where you're waiting for Tyler Hero to step up 699 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: and be now great and I think that he leveled 700 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: off a little bit. Duncan Robinson is getting paid. You 701 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: got Lowry Bam Auto Bio is really good. You got 702 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler that you resigned, So it's a good team. 703 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a great team. And still, you know, 704 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 1: there's still drama left with what happens with Ben Simmons, 705 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: what happens you know with Dame Lillard? Can the Sixers 706 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: get better? The Bucks didn't do much, but did they 707 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,879 Speaker 1: need to do that much? Um? You know, So that's 708 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: the kind of when you start to handicap this. The 709 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 1: Bucks are tied with Golden State I think for a 710 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: third on that list. Then it's the Lakers Brooklyn is 711 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: tops winning a championship. Yeah. Point, I'm sure it's happened before, 712 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 1: but has a city ever had the two worst, two 713 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,680 Speaker 1: worst teams in the sport? Like the Thunder? I'm not sorry. 714 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 1: The Rockets are expected to be, by the odds, the 715 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: worst team in the sport, so they have number one pick, 716 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: and the Houston Texans right now are the odds to 717 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: be the worst team in the NFL. Yeah, and by way, 718 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: Detroit's in a similar situation because the Pistons are at 719 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: the bottom of this list and the Lions were at 720 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 1: the close, right, I had to Houston and the Tigers. Actually, 721 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't even know they're really bad too, right know, 722 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: I'm guessing I know that They're like an occasional Miguel 723 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: Cabrera home run, where we go, oh, he's got four 724 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine home runs. I'm like, oh, okay, 725 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: that's right. The Tigers still in Major League Baseball. Yes, 726 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: and Seton pointed out before the show, the Tampa is 727 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: going out of control. They cannot be stopped. Nobody talks 728 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: about the Tampa Rays. They want to talk about the 729 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 1: Red Sox and the Yankees, but the Razor. Once again, 730 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: you can't name five Rays probably, but that's what's amazing 731 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 1: about that organization. They somehow cobbled together a lineup, and 732 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: the Red Sox and Yankees overspend and Tampa's still leading 733 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: the division. But people care about the Yankee you know, 734 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: the blue bloods, the Yankees and the Red Sox. Yeah, 735 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: in the club. I remember when New York in LA 736 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: could just outspend everyone and guarantee a title. I miss 737 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 1: those days because Tampa's got what the bucks a lightning Yeah, 738 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: and then Milwaukee wins this yeah, but Tampa doesn't overspend. Yeah. 739 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're saying the small markets are winning titles now. 740 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: It's that you don't need to spend. You can't buy 741 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: a title, it seems like, yeah, but we don't look 742 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: at a small market when it comes to the NFL. 743 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 1: It's it's not like you go, boy, Green Bay, it's 744 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: a small market. Yeah, but it feels like everybody is 745 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 1: sort of on level playing field there. It's not where 746 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: you have the haves and the have nods because everybody 747 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 1: has to spend a certain amount of money. Yeah. See 748 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: how many markets I don't know, maybe it's more common 749 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,799 Speaker 1: than I'm thinking, just because nothing's coming to the top 750 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: of my head, But how many cities have all of 751 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 1: their teams win a title in the same year she 752 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 1: had Lightning Buccaneers raise, yeah for the Rais. Yeah, yeah, 753 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how many cities can say they've done that. Yes, Hunt, Boston, 754 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: when you got your Patriots and your Bruins and Celtics, 755 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,879 Speaker 1: they must have done Like, didn't they have five three 756 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: championships in one year? Well, I was wondering if you 757 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 1: had they had four teams there baseball, football, basketball, hockey. 758 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: I like, how you know it was a couple of 759 00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: years since Boston won a title. You can't imagine some 760 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,800 Speaker 1: kid who's like twelve, going, oh my god, we haven't 761 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: won a title on like forever.
