Speaker 1: the NFL. Gonna get you coming up in a few minutes.

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Jason lockin Forest stopping by. Maybe it was our fault,

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: maybe we curse them. I'm sure it's our fault that

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: the Lions traded away David Montgomery.

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 4: That's my guy yesterday talking about him because he was

23
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 4: refuting reports.

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,880

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: I'm gone. Oh okay, that would have made a Wolf

Speaker 1: of Wall Street different. I'm not leaving. Oh no, you're leaving.

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,639
Speaker 1: Oh I'm leaving. You're being escorted out of the building

28
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: right now. I didn't know that.

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: Okay, card doesn't work anymore, but I wanted to stay.

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: So it's been a lot more of your fault than ours, though,

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: how is my fault? You know how that's that's not

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: my fore you can't play that was that was a

33
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. One time. That was a

34
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: year in room the franchise. Oh I do want to

35
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: absolutely murdered.

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: Hang on.

37
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: I think we can trace back the beginning of Jamiir

38
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: gibbs a cent into becoming the number one running back

39
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: to that right after that game, like I think the

40
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: numbers and the division of labor between between Jamier Gibbson

41
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: and Dave Montgomery before our interview and then after that's

42
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: where it kind of just changed dramatically.

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 4: As soon as like, I don't think he really disclosed

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: that he didn't meat at the boy, and.

45
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Then they said, well he can't be the guy that

46
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: we lean on down the stretch. Here we go. Yeah,

47
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: all your now no more sonic and knuckles. Now it's

48
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: just sonic.

49
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: This is just I saw Jamiir Gibbs with the sad

50
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 4: meme that he put up on social.

51
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Media, a lot of bad stuff.

52
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 4: David Montgomery wrote the longest hey, thank you for everything. Note,

53
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 4: I think we've ever seen it from an athlete.

54
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I really like Dedroit. I like vacationing and

55
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: living there. I'll be honest with you. I this falls

56
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: under the category of this is a good trade for

57
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: both teams because look, one, number one, Jamiir Gibbs become

58
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: one of the top two running backs in all of

59
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: he and John Robinson. Uh, he's getting all the carries. Yes,

60
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: more division of labor for him. Not that you don't

61
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: need another running back, because Dave Montgomery still has proven

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: to be pretty good, pretty solid, big goal line guy,

63
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: big red zone guy, but a little bit more of

64
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: a luxury where if you are the Lions, you want

65
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: to keep the window open, you gotta do a Kansas

66
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: City Chiefs twenty twenty one off season where it's like, boy,

67
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: we just got be to death in the playoffs because

68
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: we have no offensive line. We gotta go bring in

69
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: like four new guys. So doing what they're doing right now. Hey,

70
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring an offensive line. They got to be

71
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: heavy on it this year to keep that window open

72
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: because that was their big free fall at the end

73
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: of last year. I think they finished in the bottom

74
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: third of the league offensive line of protection in a

75
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: bunch of different categories. This is one of those trades

76
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: that I like it for both teams. The Texas needed

77
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: a weapon. He needed somebody bigger to that you could

78
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: other teams had to plan around at running back, and

79
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: they got it. And the Lions have to just add offense,

80
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: just keep adding offensive line, adding offensive line. I like

81
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it for both sides. Well, it's a good start.

82
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 4: Abandoned Lions watched in Division that that was one of

83
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: the big points of emphasis for the Bears. Look what

84
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: ended up transpiring there. So the Lions will go and

85
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: draft another running back or find someone off the cheap.

86
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 4: Because David Montgomery still makes pretty good money. You're able

87
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: to get a couple of you trade off a couple

88
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: of draft picks. So that's where the line building would

89
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 4: need to come. Because the guy you did bring in

90
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: was a backup, has started in the past, has moved

91
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: around the line.

92
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh That's why I said you need numbers. You need

93
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: to bring it. You need numbers. Hey, here's one guy. No,

94
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: you got to bring in something. No, it's a nice start.

95
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: They also need to figure out how to keep that

96
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball healthy.

97
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but lions are built on at least we know

98
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: what the building blocks here.

99
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 4: I don't know how to exercise the demons. They weren't

100
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 4: affected as much necessarily as some other locker rooms, but

101
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: certainly one of those things in the training room going

102
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: we get into what are we doing over here?

103
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: One of our best practices? How do we do this better?

104
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: You give me Aiden Hutchinson, I'll give you back, Aaron Glenn.

105
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, right there, let's do it. Let's do it

106
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna make it happen. He's a better

107
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: and a better dancer. Let's make it hap is. He

108
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: is a better dancer. He is a better dancer, There's

109
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: no question about it.

110
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 4: But you know me, I still have an affinity for

111
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 4: David Montgomery going back to his days in Chicago. Uh,

112
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: obviously that's a couple of years removed, and Sonic and

113
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: Knuckles had their run. But you shed some caps space

114
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: to go find yourself another running back. You give yourself

115
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 4: an opportunity. Now you don't have as many draft picks. Again,

116
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 4: you give two of those away, but you get active

117
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 4: in free agency. They still have to move a lot

118
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 4: of money around to really clear out to give themselves

119
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: the best opportunity in the free agent market. But for

120
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 4: the Lions, yeah, this becomes one of the hard decisions

121
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: you have to make to that next iteration of your squad,

122
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: knowing that the Bears and backers and probably the Vikings

123
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: if they can get adequate quarterback play, will be there

124
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: to fight for the division ground.

125
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: It's alive. More in this story coming up in about

126
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes again with Jason locking for Hey, the Lions,

127
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: they're keeping that window open, man and keeping the window.

128
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: But speaking of comebacks, we had two returns tonight. Well, okay,

129
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: one return to the court, one return to the sideline

130
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: that didn't go very well. Yeah. Uh, Trey Young in

131
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: advance of his return to the lineup, right, he's gonna

132
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,679
Speaker 1: come back now for the first time since he's traded,

133
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: gonna go come to the Wizard's lineup. Got tossed from

134
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: tonight's game because he stepped on the court during a

135
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: dead ball situation where there was a bit of a

136
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: bruhaha going on, and he got a David Stern you

137
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: step on the court, I'll throw you out ejections. So

138
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: ahead of his return, Trey Young has been thrown out,

139
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: which kind of tells me that maybe he doesn't want

140
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: to play at all. And like, you know, if you're

141
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: talking about bringing me back, just understand this is kind

142
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: of how it's gonna go. You know what. I didn't

143
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm gonna step on the court and they're

144
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna throw me out. Yeah, I'm gone. I'm gone. Do

145
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: you want to submit an appeal? Yeah? Making a ten

146
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: game suspension.

147
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 4: I really said some terrible things, and I create I

148
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: was an absolute nuisance in that five feet.

149
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: I stepped out on the court just to say, all

150
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: right and ready to come back. Maybe he doesn't want to.

151
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: It was I fiving fans on the way back into

152
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 4: the locker room.

153
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's I don't need to watch this anymore. Maybe

154
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: that's aside. Listen, you put me back on the bench.

155
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: I got thrown out. What do you think is gonna

156
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: happen if you actually put me on the court. Oh,

157
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: it's a good point. All right, Well, we'll sit you

158
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: down for now.

159
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: The Bulls have been terrible, right, one in nine in

160
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 4: their last ten. They were winless in the month of February.

161
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 4: They are still eight and a half games ahead of

162
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: the Wizards. So it's not like, hey, we could really

163
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: put forth the competitive that that would take an awful

164
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: lot to climb to that, you know, twelfth spot in

165
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: the East Conference.

166
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: So it becomes a why am I bothering? Now? Me

167
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: going out? That's funny. Meanwhile, here is the story of

168
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: the night, and I feel like the universe is really

169
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: helping out Yannis where they really don't have to anymore.

170
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: Okay they did, Jannis, Hey, you could have gotten out

171
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee couple of times. All you had to do

172
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: was say you wanted out. Could have gotten out? No, no, no,

173
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Now you want to stay Tonight. Yannis makes his return

174
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: for the first time since he got hurt when he

175
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: strained his calf January twenty third, which made trading him

176
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult. He was right about the

177
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: six week recovery. He was he was. He said that

178
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: three to six weeks, six weeks, I'm right back, and

179
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: so in that time he said I'm not leaving true

180
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: stars attract, they don't defect to go someplace else. I'm

181
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: gonna stay here. Made a bunch of money on Kalchi

182
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: comes back tonight twenty five minutes, nineteen and eleven. A

183
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: couple assists and you know, doesn't shoot great, but still

184
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: here's Jannis back on the court tonight. Pretty decent night.

185
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: But if this isn't the universe, the basketball universe telling Yannis, Yannis,

186
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: you have to go. You must leave. Like remember that

187
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: commercial that Hank Aaron did with Barry Bonds when Bonds

188
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: was gonna break Hank Aaron's home run record and Bonds

189
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: has taken batting practice and he hears his voice over

190
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: the loud speaker.

191
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 5: Bonds, give it up. You'll never break the record.

192
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Just give it up, Bonds, and Barry's looking around and

193
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: it's Hank Aaron on the mic. You know, don't break

194
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: my record.

195
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 5: Bonds, give it up.

196
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: You're too old, You're too old. Like I feel like

197
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: this is the universe saying Yannis, Yannis, you have to go.

198
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: You're not going to win here. Not only Yannis comes

199
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: back at home against the Celtics team without Jason Tatum,

200
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: who is on his way back and could be back

201
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. No Jalen Brown, who was ill tonight.

202
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: And still it was a thirty point burial that the

203
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: Celtics put on the Bucks one oh eight to eighty one.

204
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: Every member the Celtics starting five was in double figures.

205
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: Peyton Pritchard had twenty five off the you know, Caitlyn Clark.

206
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: Peyton Pritchard had twenty five off the bench. This is

207
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: Yannis coming back to a Bucks team that treaded water.

208
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: I guess you could say the best while he was out.

209
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: They were eight and seven, not bad. They beat some

210
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: pretty good team. They beat Oklahoma City while he was out.

211
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: They beat Miami while he was out, They beat the

212
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: Cavaliers like, they won some decent games. And obviously they

213
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: lost to the Bulls. They got crushed by the Knicks.

214
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: But still, this is a team that's eight games under

215
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: five hundred. When Jannis was out, they were one game over. Okay,

216
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: So here comes Jiannis who is back? Who is you know,

217
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: still at the peak of Jannis's powers? All right, maybe

218
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: we get a little bit of a run going on here.

219
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 1: Giannis is back. We know what we're doing for the

220
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: rest of the season, and he comes back and they

221
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: just get absolutely buried by thirty points at the hands

222
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: of the Celtics. This is these are the basketball gods

223
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: saying it's time d Doc, it's time for you to

224
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: go too. But it's also time for Yannis to go.

225
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: All of you need to leave. Just hear that voice

226
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: in your head, Just hear that voice in me. No,

227
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: it'll stay there.

228
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: I mean, he was able to get his brother two

229
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: minutes of playing time tonight in the burial, so that's good.

230
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: But you look at this roster and you look around

231
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: and going, are we gonna win anything? Right?

232
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: Kyle Kuzma didn't play tonight, fine, but beyond you look

233
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 4: at that starting lineup, there's there's no excitement the bench.

234
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 4: Cam Thomas the guy they pick up. Maybe maybe they can,

235
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: you know, find lightning in the in the bottle. Once

236
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: upon a time he was a big deal. But all

237
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: that to say, you're scraping the bottom and you're looking

238
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: around going where's the fix? No matter how much you

239
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: try to shed in terms of what's on the cap

240
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 4: for next year, how many players are you enticing?

241
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: Right?

242
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: He wants to go and be the recruiter. You did that,

243
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: you brought in Lillard. It didn't work. He went home,

244
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: got hurt, went home, And now you're trying to cling

245
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 4: to the last couple years of your run. They're eight

246
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: games under five hundred, they fall to fourteen and fifteen

247
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: at home on the year, and as you say, they

248
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: got blown out with no Jalen Brown. Now, Peyton Pritchard

249
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 4: has been alternately Caitlin Clark in the best of ways.

250
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 4: Since that comparison. He's got like five twenty five point

251
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: games at his last eight games played. He actually got

252
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 4: shut out last time out. I don't know how that

253
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: happens in twenty seven minutes. He shoots well enough for that.

254
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 4: But for the honest side of it, it's the I

255
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 4: applaud you for coming back because you're playing for nothing

256
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 4: at this point for the rest of the season, right,

257
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 4: You're just scraping the bottom.

258
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: But you look around and realize how hard it's going

259
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: to be.

260
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 4: But you don't want to be the bad guy. It's

261
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: that very difficult space in the universe of you know

262
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: what has to be done right, It's that long standing

263
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: job change, break up, whatever it is. But you just

264
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 4: want to keep kicking that can down the road. And

265
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: Giannis is looking around and maybe he got a little

266
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: love from the hometown fans, but it's it's that time

267
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 4: he needs to.

268
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: Be like in uh in Field of Dreams, where like

269
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: he's working out by himself in the gym.

270
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 5: And you hear, if you ask for a trade, they

271
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 5: will do it.

272
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: Who said that?

273
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: Who's there? Who's there? Who's there?

274
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 5: If you ask for a trade, they will trade you.

275
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 5: But you have to ask.

276
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: Ease his pain? Who's pain?

277
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 5: Doc rivers? He can't win with you, he can't win

278
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: without you. Please take him with you. Ease his pain?

279
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Who's there? Who's there?

280
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 5: Who's there?

281
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: Who's there? I mean really that that's a This is

282
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: the basketball world to say, dude, you have to go. Man,

283
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: you can't stay anymore.

284
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: Problem is he's now dragged this out enough to where

285
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: he's living long enough to become the villain.

286
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say he's gotta say I want out. He's

287
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: gotta say it. I'm when I said I when I

288
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: said winner, stay to attract. I meant like in a

289
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: situation where a team could actually win if I attracted somebody.

290
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: But instead, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go someplace

291
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: else and attract people there That's really what I meant

292
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: is I'll go to a new place and attract people

293
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: to come in.

294
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 5: If you leave, you will attract people there. If you leave,

295
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: we could get Karl Anthony Towns and maybe mchl Bridges

296
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 5: in return.

297
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,840

345
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: time now to put the NFL combine, put a big

346
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: bow on it. Take a look at what's next. We

347
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: heard a lot of quarterback rumors over the weekend. We

348
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: got a big potential injury that could effect the top

349
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: five in the draft. Joining us now the hot line

350
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Nobody bet or Washington Post wanna bet longtime NFL insider

351
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: Jason Lockin for what's happening?

352
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 6: Man?

353
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: How are you?

354
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: What's going on, gentlemen, greetings.

355
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: All right, Well, well, first of all, I know you

356
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: don't have to worry too much about writing anything about

357
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: Syracuse lacrosse after this past weekend. But as we get

358
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: to the combine, a big trade today Lions moved David

359
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: Montgomery to the Textans to get back an offensive lineman,

360
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: get a couple of picks. I kind of like this

361
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: for both sides, Like it's hard for me to say, oh, hey,

362
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: one team really won, because look, Montgomery's still a good player,

363
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: but a luxury. The Texts needed him more, and clearly

364
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: the Lions se as many offensive linemen as they could

365
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: get jay after what happened last year.

366
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense. These are guys too, who let's

367
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: face it, I mean, the Lions have to recalibrate some

368
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: of the way that they're spending their money, and you know,

369
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: it's it's it's going to be time to exert maximum

370
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: explosion out of Gibbs, who obviously already became I can't

371
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: come a bell cow. You know, it was still too

372
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: much divisional labor for that. But I think we see

373
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: which way the wind was blowing there, So yeah, I

374
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: mean I get it. Is it going to end up

375
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: moving the needle being a difference maker for for either

376
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: of these teams that are looking to get over the top.

377
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 2: Probably not, but he's he's he brings an emotional intensity,

378
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: he plays with physicality, and they liked having that guy

379
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: there in Joe Mixon. And I don't know if we're

380
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: ever going to find out exactly what the heck happened

381
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: to Joe mixoner or whatever, but I Joe Mixon never

382
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: plays again, it's not gonna be for the Texans, So

383
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 2: I get it.

384
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was an interesting angle right with Montgomery yesterday

385
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: going I don't want to go anywhere. Twenty four hours later,

386
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 4: you're you're going to the planet Houston as we roll up.

387
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: So coming out of the combine, what's the most interesting

388
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: rumor to pass your mailbox?

389
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: The most interesting rumor?

390
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 6: You know?

391
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: I don't. I really wonder at the end of the

392
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: day if Max cous because anyway, you know, and there's

393
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people who think that the goalposts could

394
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: keep moving there and that Tom Brady wants to kind

395
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: of play this out in a way that they want

396
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: everyone and Max to kind of feel like they're trying

397
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: to do right by him and going to do right

398
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: by him. But whatever you hear, the value is, now,

399
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: that's a fungible thing. And I get the sense that

400
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 2: in that organization they have a hard time seeing themselves fielding. Look,

401
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 2: the defense might not be that competent with him, but

402
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: without him, I just don't know that there's a whole

403
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 2: lot of stomach for moving in there, especially if the

404
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 2: draft picks that they think they're going to end up

405
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: getting aren't as high as they would like. And let's

406
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 2: be real, how many truly rebuilding teams are looking for

407
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: a guy with, you know, as great as he is

408
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: that much tread on the tire? I probably not right.

409
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: These are more contending teams, and those draft picks are

410
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: a lot lower. Jay.

411
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: When it comes to the quarterbacks, you've heard a lot

412
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: of different things. Kyler Murray obviously is going to get

413
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: released at some point, you think, and to a tongue

414
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: of Ailoa getting released at some point. First things first

415
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: with any of these guys, is anybody getting traded or

416
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: are we waiting for all of them to get released?

417
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't think anybody's got me and I again,

418
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: Kyler probably like two of us never getting traded. That

419
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: just was an impossibility, but the way that thing was

420
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: structured and how poorly he played, you know, Kyler has

421
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: more athletic upside. There's maybe a chance that if they

422
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: eat enough of that contract they get something something for it.

423
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: But the closer you get to the start of the

424
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: league year, the more you know that people just are

425
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: inclined to they we're just gonna you know, we're gonna

426
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: get him. We're gonna get him for nothing. So yeah,

427
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 2: I I I just don't know who signed. I don't

428
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 2: even know where too it goes. I just that that

429
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: will be that'll be a pretty interesting situation to follow.

430
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: But I almost feel like a guy like Anthony Richardson,

431
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 2: not that you're gonna get much for him, but for

432
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: what you have to pay him, which will be next

433
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: to nothing, and the ability to provide a different sort

434
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: of skill set if you do want him for five

435
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: to seven plays in a sub packager, do you want

436
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 2: him to kind of be your Taysom Hill. I almost

437
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: feel like that's more interesting and intriguing when I pick personnel,

438
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 2: people's brains about this more than having two of their

439
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 2: as a backup who's not going to be able to

440
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 2: push the ball downfield. Who's not going to offer anything

441
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: with his legs, you know, who just wants to throw

442
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: screen passes.

443
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: Now I have to.

444
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 4: Ask the question from my friend here to my right,

445
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 4: what do you expecting dereckt Yeah, what what is Derek

446
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 4: Carr going to do as the quarterback for the Jets?

447
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think I'm not buying this, but

448
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: nobody I'm talking to you, Come on, man, this mythologist,

449
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: this mythologizing of Derek. I mean, Derek car didn't have

450
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: much of a market when he got that deal in

451
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Talking to in the league at that real time,

452
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: where like the hell are the Saints doing? Like what

453
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: is Mickey MoMA struck again? Like it's another bizarre world contract. No,

454
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's giving anything of the Saints for

455
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: the rights to pry him out of retirement. Now, could

456
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: I see Tyler there? I could that could? Yeah, I

457
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: kind of do.

458
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: Well.

459
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: The last kind of the thing is like ja.

460
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: Up in that division they're Miami. You know, I could

461
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: kind of say.

462
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: It because the thing is is that obviously Aaron Blenn

463
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: and company want to make it to twenty twenty seven

464
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: when there's other quarterbacks out there and things are there,

465
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: and they have all the draft picks, but they got

466
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: to win this, so they gotta be bold. They gotta

467
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: go get somebody, and they got to go get something.

468
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: And Kyler Murray, look, he's the guy that you're gonna

469
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: be able to go get and not have to trade

470
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: a draft pick for or anything else. And yeah, no,

471
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: the more time goes on Kyler Murray and the Jets guy,

472
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. If Derek car is not going to

473
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: talk his way back in, it's going to be Kyler Murray.

474
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 2: And it could be a situation too where if you

475
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: get him signed to a two year deal, right and

476
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: he plays okay, like he plays enough to stay healthy

477
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 2: enough to showcase a little bit, but you like that

478
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: draft class in you're in position to get Archer or whoever,

479
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 2: and you just trade him, you know what I mean.

480
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: So not only do you not have to give up

481
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: anything to acquire the rights to him, but maybe you

482
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: flip them for something decent next off season. Now, he's

483
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: not really going to be all that inclined to do

484
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: a two year deal, but I think he's about to get,

485
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: you know, flapped in the face by this market in

486
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 2: a way. That he's never seen before. And the bottom

487
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: line is he's made his money. He made his money

488
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 2: with Arizona. Now you got to prove that you can

489
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: really play in the lead, and you got to prove

490
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: how fuck can you are? You got to prove Okay,

491
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: if it's just playing for the bid Wells as a

492
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 2: joke and that franchise is a joke and the coaches

493
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: you've been with are a joke, okay, I mean, is

494
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: there something to that? Maybe a little something something? So,

495
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: but this is it, you know what I mean? Now

496
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: you got to go and show it. So it might

497
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: be that, you know, the three or four teams that

498
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: are interested in him all want to sign him to

499
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 2: a two year deal.

500
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: So coming out of that, we look at the franchise

501
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: tag starting to pop in and the Rubri conjecture speculation. Right,

502
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 4: we got George Pickens and Kyle Pitts the first two tag.

503
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 4: Does that happen with any of these these other guys

504
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 4: or they come to deals? While we're looking at the

505
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones Pierce Walker.

506
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: Kind of kind of tree you I don't think any

507
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 2: I mean, Pierce is the one that I think something

508
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: could happen there. I mean the three guys who people

509
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: in the league were talking the most about. Pickens you

510
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: knew was going to get it, fits most people figured

511
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: would probably get it. You'd rather squat on them for

512
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: one year than do something long term if you don't

513
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: have to. And Stefans you play so much twelve and

514
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: thirteen personnel that it would just make a lot of

515
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 2: sense there. And then Yeah, Pierce was kind of the

516
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: other one where people look at him as an ascending player.

517
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: If you do that one, I would say it's more

518
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 2: upbridge to a long term deal than just squatting on him,

519
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 2: where I think Pitts just going to get squatted on.

520
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: I think Pitts is just going to get squatted on

521
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: and that'll be it. I think Jones ends up back

522
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis, but not on any sort of tag. And

523
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, given his medical situation that you've got

524
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: to be in a rush to do that. Yeah, I'd

525
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: be surprised if if anybody else get it, gets it.

526
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a transition tag that sneaks in there, but

527
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a robust class of tag

528
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: players NFL.

529
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: Inside of Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith, make

530
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, now,

531
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: a big bombshell coming in earlier today when it comes

532
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: to Caleb Downs, who coming into the draft probably the

533
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: best player in all of college football what he's done

534
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: the last four years, probably going to be a top

535
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: five pick, but now coming out of the combine, a

536
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: big report today that he's being flagged with a potentially

537
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: degenerative ACL. Now this is brand new, you know we

538
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a couple of teams have talked about this,

539
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: but now this is out there. Is this going to

540
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: affect his draft stock? Does he drop? Did? Do we

541
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: need more on this? Jay Wheel? I know the story

542
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: is fairly new, but you know on what we say.

543
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't had a chance to you know what

544
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: I mean, really run it by anybody coming out of

545
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: the combine to see what their medical teams think of

546
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: dinner or you know the extent of it. But look,

547
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 2: the most important thing that happens if the combine is

548
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: the medical and when you get the groups to clusters

549
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: of five or six team doctors and you know they

550
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: do this sort of in their ways and they start

551
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: kicking photos, m results and everything. Yeah, it certainly it

552
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: certainly can have an impact. It certainly can cause players

553
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: to go in some cases are half around later then

554
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: you'd think, in other cases even more. But yeah, well

555
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: have to see, you know how much of this is

556
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: open to interpretation and whether there's a consensus forming among

557
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: teams about the potential ramifications of this in the extent

558
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 2: of it or not, because again, this is not one

559
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: size fits all in a lot of these instances, good.

560
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 4: Or a bad thing that the top free agent that

561
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 4: everybody wants is the center.

562
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 2: Point. Even then people who are at like, he's not

563
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: creat Humphrey, he's not. He's smaller and he plays the

564
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 2: leverage game, but not to the degree that some other

565
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: people do. Yeah, look, it's it's not it's not a

566
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 2: bumper crop. I mean, like, in the right place, could

567
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: Tyler Wingobam be a difference maker? I mean they could

568
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: talk men kind of hard of maybe, But in terms

569
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 2: of guys who are going to go and sign in

570
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 2: the first forty eight hours of free agency, who really

571
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: tip the balance of power and the scales and take

572
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: a team from on the cost to winning it all

573
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: or a team from on the fringe two in the hunt,

574
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't I look at this class, and I just

575
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 2: don't see that caliber of player. I just I just don't.

576
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: I don't really see it. Like, if you're gonna tell

577
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 2: me Trey Henderson is gonna go back to what he

578
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: was three years ago, I mean i'd say okay, But

579
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean that's that's that's a that's a big ask,

580
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 2: that's a that's a reach.

581
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason lock and for that is

582
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,080

589
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: they're playing the Canes. So but that's okay. We're the

590
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: best team in the Eastern Conference. Maybe you guys can

591
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: throw some gloves down and get after it. Yeah, well,

592
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: what Look, we're the best team in the Eastern I'm

593
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: thinking Stanley Cup, the h Stanley Cupper bust here team

594
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. We are the best. March March, Frostburg,

595
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: you fired you fired a coach this weekend. Yes, I'll

596
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: see you in the NHL Stanley Cup Final. I'll see

597
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: if they fired their coach.

598
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 4: And today was the first time I saw a digital

599
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: billboard up on the road to work that said ghost

600
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 4: Kings go.

601
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they fired me. Listen. Well the NIL people

602
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: came in and said, listen, we'll give you nil money

603
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: if you fire your coach. That's just like college. Yeah.

604
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: But the thing about Caleb Downs right now, now this

605
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: he's not the first guy to come in with a

606
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: medical red flag.

607
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

608
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: That says, hey, maybe potentially here's an injury that could

609
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: shorten his career, hurt him down the line. Maybe maybe not.

610
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: But he's coming into the league in his early twenties,

611
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: his first contract, his first few years in the league

612
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: are going to be fine. What this does for Caleb

613
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: Downs because you know, look, as Jason locking Forrest said,

614
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: guys have lost half a round, maybe a full round

615
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: because he's so special, because he's that good. I told you,

616
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: and maybe I cursed him. Maybe I cursed him by saying, hey,

617
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: he's a guy, take at number two, best player in

618
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: the drafter getting Rod Woodson now all of a sudden

619
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: degenerative knee injury. I'm sorry, Caleb Downs. It's all by fault. Uh,

620
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: this what this will do to him? This will knock

621
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: him out of the top five. He's not gonna last

622
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: past number ten. He's still too special a player. He

623
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: still teams are still gonna say we get a guy

624
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: who could be a Hall of Famer at number seven,

625
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: number eight, number nine, but top five when you're seeing

626
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: the guys with that that are big difference makers. Like

627
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: for the Jets to have a decision at number two

628
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: between him and RFL Reese, Well, we're gonna go with

629
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: the guy that gets after the quarterback, right, that's what

630
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna see. Maybe you see Jeremiah Love jump up.

631
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna be someone that moves up in drafts, is

632
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: more special he becomes. So Caleb Downs will drop, but

633
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: he's not gonna drop out of the top ten, probably

634
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: out of the top five, or I would say, yeah,

635
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's getting out of the top five

636
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: before today. This is gonna be He'll go between five

637
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: and ten. That's gonna be his drop.

638
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the one where we're still uh you know,

639
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 4: the cross of the t's dot in the eyes and

640
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: waiting on you know, further corroboration, because it is a

641
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: medical thing. It's not like people are running to a

642
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,479
Speaker 4: podium to say, yes, this is what happened. Corey Kinnan

643
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 4: daft on Draft, he's been part of USA Today for

644
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 4: a number of years, saying that an NFL scout referred

645
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 4: this to him, that you know, Downs had several issues

646
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 4: flagged during the medical check, including the potential degenerative knee

647
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: or degenerative ACL issue, which you know the flag, but

648
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 4: again that that could be a long term we're talking

649
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 4: about a window to play if he's still able to

650
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 4: move and you saw nothing on the field to say

651
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 4: that a downturn is imminent. That you still say, all right,

652
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: that guy's a big piece, especially if you're a contending

653
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 4: squad or looking to make a jump right away. But

654
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: certainly one worth noting as we go for it again.

655
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 4: Perhaps the Jason Smith jinx comes in here, and it's

656
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 4: your fault. It is price yourself with that lawsuit, buddy,

657
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 4: Perhaps out it is yeah, okay, so it is.

658
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: That David Montgomery traded Caleb Down just hurt because he

659
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: has everything is problems in Detroit. Your fault.

660
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 4: It's inevitable something bad is gonna happen to the Pistons.

661
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 4: Because you up on board that so I mean bad

662
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 4: job by you. But it's always tough when you come

663
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 4: out of the medicals and you come out of combined week,

664
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,520

00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: out of this game was just on the just on

777
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: the sideline, just stepped on the court during a bit

778
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: of a fracas and heyp can't come on the court.

779
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: Obviously he gets thrown out. I love how they they

780
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: they they made sure to talk about him by name.

781
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: We have a technical foul on Trey Young, who is

782
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: obtained by the Wizard at the deadline from the Hawks.

783
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: He averaged twenty seven points a game for Atlanta, couldn't

784
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: get him past the second round of the playoffs. It's

785
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: much hated in Madison Square. Oh sorry, yeah, he's thrown

786
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: out of the game. We remember that we were watching

787
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: the other night.

788
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 4: It was the Denver OKC game and they went to

789
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 4: the table and after reviewing when Sga threw the ball

790
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 4: off Jokic, they go, well, he threw it off the

791
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 4: joker And it's like, okay, so we've seen some crazy

792
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 4: stuff at the desk. This is like Billy Crystal throwing

793
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 4: Kareem Abdul Jabbar out before the opening tip and forget Paris.

794
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my farewell game.

795
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 4: Well, let me be the first to say, hey, farewell

796
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety five, showing my age when Cap was still

797
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 4: in Uni. But all of that to say, it's it's

798
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 4: a very curious strategy and how what are the parameters

799
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 4: of the sideline slash coaches box? Right, It's always been

800
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 4: a gray area. When do you decide he's come a

801
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 4: step too far? In this case, you're still not just

802
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 4: sit out. But he took a couple of steps onto

803
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 4: the court and was promptly shown the door, and he

804
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: took the high fives all the way out, all the

805
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 4: way up the tunnel, getting love from the fans. Now

806
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 4: here's the thing, and you want a great, big hot take, Okay,

807
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 4: the Wizard. Here's your work, well, wnd neck, because I

808
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 4: think they want to beg for shoes.

809
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: I got news for you man. He's gonna start playing Thursday. Okay,

810
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: that's great. Eventually a D will start playing at some point. Okay, great.

811
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: They got a couple of pretty good young players. Okay,

812
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: Star is pretty good. Right, George is pretty good. Don't

813
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: forget CEJ McCollum. Right, but what did I say at

814
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: the trade deadline? This is like, you know, I love

815
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: the nineties. We're getting all guys who were great ten

816
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: years ago. What this is like the be the B

817
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: team of a dream team, like the if it was

818
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: ten years ago the B dream team in the NBA,

819
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: like we were sending the second wave of stars to

820
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: go play in the Olympics, it would be A D. McCollum,

821
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: Trey Young, Like, that's who it would be. It's the East.

822
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: This is stop Brunson's at the top level. He makes

823
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: the old top level.

824
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

825
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: But I got news for you. In the East, I

826
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: can see there being a a I know this is

827
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: a hot take and it sounds crazy, but I can

828
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: see I can see a scenario which next year the

829
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: Wizards go from absolutely irrelevant to woe. They could be

830
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference. I can

831
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: see them making that leap to wow when they get there,

832
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 1: when they get these guys playing, and now the young

833
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: guys don't have to have such complete roles of of

834
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: running the team because just look as good as Sarr

835
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: and George are, these are still guys that are young

836
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 1: and there and they're becoming. You got a d you

837
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: have Trey Young like you have a couple of dudes

838
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: on this team. And again it is the East and

839
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: the East you're seeing teams are not very good, man,

840
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: they just aren't. I can see I can see the

841
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: being a middle of the pack team in the East

842
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: next year. Just think about that. They've long been a

843
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: team where we just we just dump our guys. That's

844
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: one step close to being out of the NBA and

845
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: you're you're gone, You're never coming back.

846
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 4: Well, we talked about that random stat that included Tim Duncan,

847
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 4: who's been retired for a decade, right that he had.

848
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: More wins than the.

849
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 4: Wizards since nineteen ninety seven. So yeah, it's kind of

850
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 4: a weird thing, uh, Cashawn George though, second year guy

851
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 4: fourteen eight five rebounds a game. Can you coax enough

852
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 4: games played out of Tree Young and Anthony Davis. There's

853
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 4: your billion dollar question now.

854
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: But there's the thing. It's not like you have the

855
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: You have to rely just on them. Like I said,

856
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: you have a couple of good young players out like

857
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: this mix. I call me crazy, Like you say, who

858
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: could come out of nowhere next year? That's my team.

859
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: I like your insanity. The Wizard all of a sudden.

860
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 4: This is uh, you know, it's extra evidence for when

861
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 4: he says, look, I went mad.

862
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: You can prove it. There's tape on the radio when

863
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: I said the Wizards were gonna suddenly talking about the

864
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,439
Speaker 1: Wizards for the first time since Jordan played there. Yeah,

865
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: think about that.

866
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, that's back to back to back NASCAR champion

867
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan

868
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swelling dome Coming up next,

869
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: Let's play matchmaker with quarterbacks or hitting free agency.
