Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It doesn't happen in all trades, but there
Speaker 1: is an awkward feel two trades. We don't want this,
Speaker 1: would you take it? Sure, we don't want this, would
Speaker 1: you take that? Now, there's certain times when you make
Speaker 1: a trade and you have to give up something that
Speaker 1: you want to keep. But sometimes it's we don't want this,
Speaker 1: would you take? You know, I go back to the
Speaker 1: Jared Goff trade where the Rams go, Yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: want him, we don't want that contract. Or the Eagles
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. Yeah, we don't want him, But would
Speaker 1: you take him? And then what do you give us
Speaker 1: in return? Yeah, we will take Matthew Stafford and we'll
Speaker 1: sweeten the pot and give you some other things with
Speaker 1: Jared Goff or Carson Wentz. The same way with the Colts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the NBA trade deadline and some of the names, Lonzo Ball,
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry, Norm Powell, Aaron Gordon. That's about it, Andre Drummond.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk to Frank Aisle from the Mothership. He'll
Speaker 1: join us coming up. We'll talk about the deals that
Speaker 1: should get done, will get done. What is in a
Speaker 1: name when it comes to Washington's football team a whole lot.
Speaker 1: After years of controversy, they lost their nickname, temporarily went
Speaker 1: with the Washington Football team, and then yesterday their team
Speaker 1: president Jason Wright said, Washington Football Team supposed to be temporary,
Speaker 1: but the fans love it, so now they're not sure
Speaker 1: what they're going to do. I guess you can explore
Speaker 1: new names, new nicknames, but one financial reason is, you know,
Speaker 1: the merchandise here right now they're selling generic looking shirts
Speaker 1: that are pretty simple. But I guess there's a cool
Speaker 1: factor to us to it a coolness. But you switch
Speaker 1: to a new name, and then you could sell another
Speaker 1: batch of merchandise here. But you really don't think about
Speaker 1: names for most teams only when they're controversy. Knows anybody
Speaker 1: you think about You know the Rams in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there are Rams in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: We know the Minneapolis Lakers became the La Lakers, Bears
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I don't know Jazz in Utah, But I
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody cares. Washington is an exception. The
Speaker 1: name was a big deal, is a big deal. It
Speaker 1: looks like the team will keep it in the news
Speaker 1: for some time to come here, stay with the Washington
Speaker 1: football team. The only thing I thought of is then
Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder can kind of move on. It's not something
Speaker 1: that people it was a yearly almost an annual protest
Speaker 1: or somebody would be writing articles on this. Why do
Speaker 1: we allow this? And then the commissioner's on his desk
Speaker 1: and then he's got to respond to this. All right,
Speaker 1: Washington football team, we move on, all right. I lose
Speaker 1: out on some merchandise. So what I sidestep a controversy
Speaker 1: or I avoid it all together. Maybe you sell this
Speaker 1: merchandise and then in two years you change I don't know, Like,
Speaker 1: what are you going to change it too? Yeah? I'm
Speaker 1: a club. Yeah. The name's like the RedHawks that have
Speaker 1: been thrown out, Like none of them as cool as
Speaker 1: Washington Football team, right, I think that's like unique, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. I joked about it at the
Speaker 1: time and said they should go with the Washington Football Club,
Speaker 1: but they went with Washington football team. I think the
Speaker 1: most important part of all of this is how about
Speaker 1: you put a good team on the field, Like that's
Speaker 1: the most important thing out of all of this, because
Speaker 1: when you had that nickname, you didn't have a good product. Therefore,
Speaker 1: it was a little easier to focus on the name
Speaker 1: and the controversy. When you have a good football team,
Speaker 1: seems like there's less concern, less focus on that nickname
Speaker 1: or lack thereof. That to me would be the most
Speaker 1: important thing moving forward. Yeah, MC club feels like their
Speaker 1: trajectory is I don't know it's going straight up, but
Speaker 1: it feels like they've had a great year run. We
Speaker 1: loved Ron Rivera. I think everybody respects and likes Ron Rivera.
Speaker 1: I like what Washington is doing. I'm not sold on
Speaker 1: the quarterbacking situation. They did make the playoffs, granted somebody
Speaker 1: had to from that division, but Ryan Fitzpatrick, Okay, is
Speaker 1: he going to be my quarterback next year? And if
Speaker 1: he's not, then what direction am I going in? Like
Speaker 1: that would be That's what I would be curious about,
Speaker 1: because you've got to have that who's our franchise quarterback?
Speaker 1: And they don't have a franchise quarterback. The Giants think
Speaker 1: they have it, the Cowboys think they have it. I
Speaker 1: don't think the Eagles think they have a franchise quarterback.
Speaker 1: And then you have Washington, But Washington has a young team.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talent that defense. The defensive line
Speaker 1: played really well. I thought that they were gonna go
Speaker 1: with Heineke as their starting quarterback. But and maybe they do.
Speaker 1: Maybe you bring in but I can't imagine that Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick would hold off retirement to be a backup quarterback
Speaker 1: with Washington. I don't know if there are any assurances there.
Speaker 1: But if i'm Ryan Fitzpatrick, because he was also mentioned,
Speaker 1: I think in Denver, like there were a couple of
Speaker 1: teams that were interested in Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, mclvan, what
Speaker 1: if Washington would you like if they trade up to
Speaker 1: say thirteen fourteen to go for a mac Wilson or
Speaker 1: a rookie that can sit behind Fitzpatrick and learn. Although
Speaker 1: I tell her Ineke could be that too, but mac Jones,
Speaker 1: mac Jones, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're I don't have any source that deals with Washington.
Speaker 1: I don't have any inside information on what they might do.
Speaker 1: But you know, you have Heineke and you have you know,
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Now that doesn't mean you wouldn't say, hey,
Speaker 1: we got mac Jones and we're gonna start him. I mean,
Speaker 1: it might be a great situation where you don't have to.
Speaker 1: I mean, they whipped on their last quarterback that they
Speaker 1: took in the first dround, and maybe maybe they want
Speaker 1: to kind of survey the field a little bit and
Speaker 1: see what happens with other quarterbacks. If is Sam Darnold
Speaker 1: eventually going to be available, Jimmy Garoppolo available, they are
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna be all in on getting a
Speaker 1: quarterback in the first round, and then what happens to
Speaker 1: their quarterback. You don't like taking leftovers, But I don't
Speaker 1: know if they're they're one of those teams that's going
Speaker 1: to go up and get a quarterback. Yeah. Mclen so
Speaker 1: you said that Penny Shool and Patrick certain are probably
Speaker 1: the two safest bets, and that you had heard that
Speaker 1: they might be. Like Chase Young is a great player
Speaker 1: with Washington, but even as great as you are, if
Speaker 1: they passed on Justin Herbert, well that haunt them. So
Speaker 1: it's like, that's why you have to take the risk
Speaker 1: on the quarterback if you're that hot. Chase Young's amazing,
Speaker 1: But still if you look back on it, wouldn't you
Speaker 1: got a quarterback Because you gotta find them. It felt
Speaker 1: like Chase Young, you knew what you were getting. We
Speaker 1: still weren't sure with Justin Herbert, you know, for everybody
Speaker 1: to you know, tell everybody or tell you know, hey,
Speaker 1: I knew he was gonna be great. I think that
Speaker 1: that that's a small group. He's athletic, he you know,
Speaker 1: we saw that in the Rose Bowl. He had big arm,
Speaker 1: you know, big kid. But you know, there were issues
Speaker 1: with consistency with him. There were times when you'd watch
Speaker 1: and you wouldn't see anything that was special, and then
Speaker 1: other times you would and you go wow, you know,
Speaker 1: And I don't think he handled the pressure of all
Speaker 1: all the notoriety his junior year and then his senior
Speaker 1: year then we were like, Okay, let's see what you have.
Speaker 1: And I just think that there was inconsistent inconsistency there.
Speaker 1: And then he had Tua where it's really hard to
Speaker 1: play a bad game at Alabama, and I mean Miami
Speaker 1: was tanking for Tua. But you know, the injury and
Speaker 1: a slow start to his career. Joe Burrow played really
Speaker 1: well with Cincinnati, and then Herbert surprised every Herbert. When
Speaker 1: do you think Herbert would have gotten in to the
Speaker 1: lineup if you don't have the doctor who was puncturing
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's lung accidentally, when do you think he's going
Speaker 1: to be playing? Because the Chargers didn't see him as
Speaker 1: a guy who was starting. That's why when when you
Speaker 1: know we look at it, go band, some team's really
Speaker 1: missed on him. I mean the Chargers might have missed
Speaker 1: on him from the standpoint of they were going to
Speaker 1: start Tyrod Taylor. It's not like and you know, watching
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks, you could see how players veterans would watch
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and drills and you got that sense of wow,
Speaker 1: that is different. And I remember saying, we haven't seen
Speaker 1: something like that around here a long time. But even then,
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to start. And then I wonder how
Speaker 1: long you were going to keep him out. Now, maybe
Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Lynn can say, you know, I knew it,
Speaker 1: but you know, I just wanted him to get the
Speaker 1: feel of the game from the sidelines and game plan,
Speaker 1: listen on the headset, all those things. But I don't
Speaker 1: know how many people were like that guy can't miss
Speaker 1: Because if you did the draft again, does Justin Herbert
Speaker 1: go before Joe Burrow? And I'm gonna guess you're gonna
Speaker 1: have some people who say yes. Justin Herbert was great, well,
Speaker 1: very good from start to finish. Last year, Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: got hurt. Joe Burrow, to me, had a more impressive
Speaker 1: year because he was doing it with the Bengals and
Speaker 1: he had some He was the only guy out there
Speaker 1: when you when you watch the Bengal games, you'd be like, Wow,
Speaker 1: he's somehow making this happen. But you know, those two
Speaker 1: are going to be compared the rest of their careers,
Speaker 1: along with two as well. And then Jordan Love. You know,
Speaker 1: does Jordan Love get thrown into the mix there? Do
Speaker 1: we look at him and include him and these guys
Speaker 1: who were taken in the first job high in the
Speaker 1: first job? Yeah? Mclove. Is that like how Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: and that whole class all gets lumped together? Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: Joshi s Right, Josh Rosen. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: gets in. I don't know if they get lumped in
Speaker 1: together as much as I think Mitchell truebisky because the
Speaker 1: Bears didn't take Mahomes or Deshaun Watson. But Watson and
Speaker 1: Mahomes will probably be compared the rest of their careers.
Speaker 1: But I think Truebisky was there because the Bears passed
Speaker 1: on those other guys. Nate and Oklahoma. Hi, Nate, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind today? Hey? Dan? You know I've always
Speaker 1: been a big fan in the NFL draft of you know,
Speaker 1: filling those holes, finding the best people to fit your
Speaker 1: positions of need. After being a Titan fan last year
Speaker 1: and witnessing Isaiah Wilson this is the Astros rookie season
Speaker 1: of four snaps and then all the troubles he's going through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: please take the best person available at any position, regardless
Speaker 1: and figure it out. The Cardinals did it with Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: I know it's a different situation the quarterback, and they
Speaker 1: found someone that they loved. But please love God, just
Speaker 1: take whoever you love the mode all right, Thank you, Nate,
Speaker 1: and Nate sounded sad for good six Please please please
Speaker 1: take the end of the end of his rope. There's
Speaker 1: uh you got one more call to make? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: got a call it day, Padrick Show. I just gotta
Speaker 1: tell him, make sure you take the best best of uh.
Speaker 1: Adrian wogin Arounski is reporting the Bulls and the Magic.
Speaker 1: I've made a trade, uh Nicola Vucevic, Al farouq Aminu
Speaker 1: for Otto, Porter Wendell Carter Junior, the third and two
Speaker 1: first round picks. All right, that's pretty good haul for Chicago.
Speaker 1: They're still interested in Lonzo ball. The Magic are moving
Speaker 1: towards a rebuild with Aaron Gordon. Us is thirty years old.
Speaker 1: Listen's Center argin twenty five and twelve this year. That's
Speaker 1: about as quiet as you could possibly average twenty five
Speaker 1: and twelve. He's an All Star. He was the last Austar. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but an All Star. Aaron Gordon is on his way out.
Speaker 1: And Hm, it'd be tough to go or watch a
Speaker 1: Magic game. You'll do it, though, I will, I will, y. Yes.
Speaker 1: It's like they're making their relevance disappear. Magic Kingdom. Magic
Speaker 1: magicians make things disappear. You're a Lando Magic and making
Speaker 1: their relevance disappear by getting rid of everybody. Thanks in
Speaker 1: the studio, Thanks goofy, you've been you've been quiet for
Speaker 1: two hours. I've been trying to track down various hockey
Speaker 1: people that are willing and have the courage to come
Speaker 1: on and talk about this theory. This is in our wheelhouse,
Speaker 1: trying to track down these Uh, these guys. Yes, mclova,
Speaker 1: I saw one juicy rumor and I'll hang up and
Speaker 1: listen after this with a bills trade Larry marketing for
Speaker 1: Linzo Ball? Would you do that? Because they're both free
Speaker 1: agents after the year, so they might be shopping marketing.
Speaker 1: Who I haven't heard us mentioned once in two years.
Speaker 1: We were all excited about that guy. I liked him.
Speaker 1: Is he yeah? Not Arizona. I liked him, and he
Speaker 1: was good in his rookie year. I feel like he
Speaker 1: should have second year. He's a shooter. He should be
Speaker 1: good at today's NBA. But I haven't heard much about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard where he once again. I when somebody says
Speaker 1: I'm hearing or there's a rumor, But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We can ask Frank Eisola about this coming up here.
Speaker 1: By the way. You know, when you look at you know,
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert getting his chance because of a punctured lung.
Speaker 1: You know, how long does Tom Brady wait if Drew
Speaker 1: Brees doesn't get hit right, who knows how long that is?
Speaker 1: I think I think the Patriots knew they had something
Speaker 1: in Brady, but you would just made Drew Bledsoe the
Speaker 1: highest paid quarterback in the league, who was the highest
Speaker 1: paid player in the league him a hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, Brady comes in and
Speaker 1: even during the Super Bowl he managed I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can say he led the Patriots to a win.
Speaker 1: The defense played great, and you had been a terry
Speaker 1: kick in the game winning field goal, but you know,
Speaker 1: he was managing the game. And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I think they realized that they had something else there. Yeah, Poe, Well,
Speaker 1: I guess if you look back at we talked about
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick's gutsy play was not going back to Bloodstoe. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In November, I think one of the gutsier ones of
Speaker 1: all time, I think maybe was Pete Carroll going with
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson as a rookie over Matt Flynn. They spent
Speaker 1: on Flynn, not Carroll, but the GM spent on Flynn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think that was based off one impressive performance
Speaker 1: against the Detroit Lions. And then Matt Flynn became a
Speaker 1: free agent and it's like, we gotta have Matt Flynn.
Speaker 1: And then I think Pete Carroll was around Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: and realized you know who he was is, And I
Speaker 1: think Pete was outside shooting hoops at the Seahawks facility
Speaker 1: and he called. He told pr person, have Russ come out.
Speaker 1: And Russ goes out. Russ has no idea what Pete
Speaker 1: Carroll's going to tell him, and I think Pete basically
Speaker 1: say said, hey, you're our starting quarterback, like not a
Speaker 1: not a big presentation, more of just hey, while I'm
Speaker 1: shooting hoops here, you're our starting quarterback. And Russ was
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback ever since then, hadn't missed a game. Yea, yeah.
Speaker 1: Twenty eleven with Green Bay, Matt Flint started one game
Speaker 1: and he played some and some others and he had
Speaker 1: He's a seventy percent passer, had six touchdowns, two picks.
Speaker 1: Everyone crazy over him. He was only twenty six years old.
Speaker 1: Seahawks pointed up he never started one game as a Seahawk,
Speaker 1: but was his big performance where he threw for four
Speaker 1: hundred yards against the Lions. Yeah, that'll get you paid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess all right, we'll take a break a slow
Speaker 1: start to the trade deadline, but we'll talk to Frank.
Speaker 1: See what he's saying, thinks is going to happen here?
Speaker 1: We still have what four hours or so before the
Speaker 1: trade deadline comes to a close eighteen after the hour.

Speaker 1: that's coming back around. Oh that's curious here. Tribe called Quest. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, but thank you. I'm aware of
Speaker 1: tribe called Quest, but I don't know any of their songs.
Speaker 1: Now you know too? I do, yeah, this one and
Speaker 1: the last one I pu okay, Oh so that was
Speaker 1: tribe called Quest too. I did love the name tribe
Speaker 1: called Quest. Yes. Yes, I've driven around the other day
Speaker 1: and I heard a little Big Daddy Kane early eighties millions,
Speaker 1: really good rapper. Yeah, I'm not familiar. You don't a
Speaker 1: Big Daddy Kane. I know the name, but I don't
Speaker 1: know my very talented. My knowledge of rap is not
Speaker 1: that good. Well, your window of music is really what
Speaker 1: like seven late sixties to late seventies? Is that like
Speaker 1: your wheelhouse? I love a lot. I love a lot
Speaker 1: of music. But um, but if you were saying the
Speaker 1: music I grew up on was blank, Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 1: sixties seventies. But yeah, I mean tupunk Uh who else? Uh? Biggie.
Speaker 1: I think Biggie's the best rapper I ever heard, like
Speaker 1: the way he sounds. But yeah, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: a big rap Yes, what about the Bismarckie me and
Speaker 1: rock him? You know ll cool J though, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know who he is, but I don't know it. I
Speaker 1: don't know the music. It makes me sad. Why it
Speaker 1: makes me sad that you. You all you listen to
Speaker 1: that Billy Joel and Hall and own CRUs around with
Speaker 1: the Beastie Boys. You don't like Frankstein, you don't know Zeppelin,
Speaker 1: you don't know the Stones, you don't know the Who like.
Speaker 1: I feel sad for you. Yes, Seed, I've said it before,
Speaker 1: but driving in the car with Todd and letting his
Speaker 1: you know, I pod or whatever kind of music player
Speaker 1: he has just go on shuffle is fascinating because you'll
Speaker 1: get you know, Biggie Small followed by Air Supply, followed
Speaker 1: by like a Guns and Roses song or something. You're like,
Speaker 1: what the music Neil sedaka Barry Manilow all that stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't know most of the
Speaker 1: Public Enemy. Right after that, and you're like Public Enemy
Speaker 1: into Survivor no kid it Wow, all right, yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Public Enemy. I get, I get their impact
Speaker 1: on music society. But uh yeah, Biggie Smalls two Punk.
Speaker 1: You know, let's bring in Frank I sold he'd be
Speaker 1: the guy who talked to when it comes to music
Speaker 1: like this. Frank you you want to add anything to this?
Speaker 1: I figured it was the natural segue that we're talking
Speaker 1: hip hop, So why not? Why not bring me on?
Speaker 1: I like all those guys that you mentioned. I'm like you, Dan,
Speaker 1: I know the songs, I just don't know who played them.
Speaker 1: I went to a YouTube concert years ago. I flew
Speaker 1: out to Portland. It was gonna be the final night
Speaker 1: of their US tour. It was like three eights before Christmas.
Speaker 1: My wife's still not talking to me about this because
Speaker 1: I went and Kanye West was the warm up act.
Speaker 1: And we got out there and we were probably like
Speaker 1: we were standing up. We were like three people from
Speaker 1: the stage. He was unbelievable. He was so good. He
Speaker 1: played for about ninety minutes. He was great. And you
Speaker 1: two him up there too. You two has always been great. Um.
Speaker 1: I saw them when they had Muse opened up for
Speaker 1: them and Kings of Leon opened up for them. I
Speaker 1: saw that one too, Yeah, yeah. And I saw them
Speaker 1: with Damian Marley once, you know, like the reggae. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was outstanding, really good. All right, Frank, Well that
Speaker 1: was it. We appreciate you, see you guys. Woods just
Speaker 1: reported that the Bulls landed uh Nicola Vussevic, a couple
Speaker 1: other players for Auto Porter, Wendell Carter Junior in two
Speaker 1: first round picks here, and the Chicago is still in
Speaker 1: the chase for Lonzo Ball. Why is it that other
Speaker 1: teams want Lonzo Ball but New Orleans doesn't want Lonzo Ball.
Speaker 1: I think it's because they're gonna eventually have to pay
Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball. But there is a lot of interest in him,
Speaker 1: and you think about he's He's improved a lot. I
Speaker 1: think his shot has improved a lot. He's a big
Speaker 1: time athlete. He's not going to be better than a brother,
Speaker 1: but his brother has a chance to be a perennial
Speaker 1: All Star. I kind of like that deal though for
Speaker 1: Chicago Vussovitch. There was a good stat that somebody just had.
Speaker 1: There are four guys in the NBA this year averaging
Speaker 1: at least twenty four points and ten rebounds Nicolea Yokich,
Speaker 1: Jani Santetacumbo, Joel Embiid, all three of those guys who
Speaker 1: are MVP candidates. Now you have Vussevich, who's putting up
Speaker 1: those numbers on a losing team. I get that, but
Speaker 1: you put him with Zach Levine and obviously the Bulls
Speaker 1: aren't done. I think this is a team that's headed
Speaker 1: in the right direction with that new management team, and
Speaker 1: obviously with Billy Donovan as the head coach. Let me
Speaker 1: go back to New Orleans and the Pelicans. When I watch,
Speaker 1: they're a blow average team. Frank, I like, I don't
Speaker 1: understand what is missing here. I don't understand this. Well.
Speaker 1: For one, they don't play enough defense. And I think
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson has been terrific, but on the defensive end,
Speaker 1: he's not good. And you know, we just mentioned LaMelo Ball.
Speaker 1: But one thing that sticks out for me the most
Speaker 1: about LaMelo Ball is he got to Charlotte. He's putting
Speaker 1: up good numbers and the team has been winning. Now
Speaker 1: I get it, he's in the Eastern Conference, so it's
Speaker 1: a little bit different to me. That's still gonna be
Speaker 1: the measure in the impact that you're really going to
Speaker 1: have on a team. And maybe there still needs to
Speaker 1: be some growth that has to happen there because it
Speaker 1: is a very young team and it's probably gonna it's
Speaker 1: not going to get older anytime soon, and they're just
Speaker 1: trying to navigate their way through the Western Conference. The
Speaker 1: West is tough. I think a lot of people are disappointed.
Speaker 1: I think they should be a little bit further along.
Speaker 1: But defense is the problem with that team. They just
Speaker 1: don't guard anybody. Or the Clippers interested in Lonzo Ball, like,
Speaker 1: what's the likelihood where's his landing spot? Well, I think
Speaker 1: there's a you know, a few teams. I think the Knicks,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, are still interested in him. I
Speaker 1: think if he went to a team like the Clippers,
Speaker 1: I think he could help them. The problem with the
Speaker 1: Clippers is they would love to have a guy like
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry. But I just don't think they have enough
Speaker 1: to give the Clippers back, not only just in terms
Speaker 1: of assets, because remember they made those trades to get
Speaker 1: Paul George. They gave up all their first round picks,
Speaker 1: but I don't even think they have enough to give
Speaker 1: back in terms of contracts. So to me, Kyle Lowry,
Speaker 1: the perfect fit for him would be the Clippers. You
Speaker 1: put him there, that's what they need. A leader, a
Speaker 1: guy that's been through it before, a tough guy. He
Speaker 1: takes he's flopping all over the he knows how to
Speaker 1: draw fouls. That would be the perfect player. Lonzo Ball
Speaker 1: could help them, But does it take them over the
Speaker 1: Lakers if Lebron and Anthony Davis comes back. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: About that. What about Kyle Lowry to the Lakers? Do
Speaker 1: they have the pieces that's that would be a big
Speaker 1: time move for them. And that's the thing when you
Speaker 1: when you have Lebron and your team, and who knows,
Speaker 1: he'll probably play until he's fifty, but you know, you
Speaker 1: have to look at it like you have a golden
Speaker 1: opportunity right now and if they can get him, that
Speaker 1: would be so move. I think Kyle from what I
Speaker 1: had heard the last couple of days from a guy
Speaker 1: that's close with Kyle Lowry, is that you know, he
Speaker 1: really if he's not going to stay in Toronto, he'd
Speaker 1: like to go to Miami. I think that's something that
Speaker 1: appeals to him. But I think the Lakers have always
Speaker 1: been out there and he fits in so perfectly with
Speaker 1: that team in terms of his toughness and his leadership
Speaker 1: could knock down a three point shot. Anybody that plays
Speaker 1: with Lebron is going to be that much better. And
Speaker 1: you put Kyle Lowry and Anthony Davis there, come on,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty formidable team. Aaron Gordon, Once out of Orlando,
Speaker 1: where do you think he end zone? Yeah? Dan, there
Speaker 1: was a great story. Should look up the quotes from
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon. He said that he had a meeting with
Speaker 1: management and the expressed frustration with the losing and the
Speaker 1: way that the team has been playing. Yes, that's why
Speaker 1: they paid you the money. So you're the one that's
Speaker 1: supposed to do something about the losing. Imagine how frustrated
Speaker 1: management must be that they're paying you all this money.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's some meaning to have. You know that.
Speaker 1: I got a kick out of that. You know, the
Speaker 1: problem with a lot of these players, you know, can
Speaker 1: they be the third best player on a championship level team?
Speaker 1: That's to me what you're looking at. I don't think
Speaker 1: Aaron Gordons could be your second best player and you
Speaker 1: could be a championship team. Anthony Davis with Lebron Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis when he was in New Orleans got out
Speaker 1: of the first round just one time. So Aaron Gordon,
Speaker 1: I would think the ceiling for him is the third
Speaker 1: best player in a championship team. And I'm not so
Speaker 1: sure where that fits right now. Frank Iaslo joining us
Speaker 1: NETS studio host on Yes, He's got the NBA Radio
Speaker 1: this starting lineup and you can see him on around
Speaker 1: the horn and pardon the interruption. Are the Clippers a contender?
Speaker 1: Like it feels like we don't talk about them the
Speaker 1: way we did, say a year ago, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you're right, And the way that everything ended in the
Speaker 1: bubble for them, it's nobody's going to take them seriously
Speaker 1: until we see them as an organization finally get to
Speaker 1: a conference final, which is something they've never done before.
Speaker 1: So Paul George is playing well and everyone's saying, talk
Speaker 1: to me come playoff time. And then the guy that
Speaker 1: kind of you know, got off Scott free a little
Speaker 1: bit here is Kawhi Leonard. He was the one that
Speaker 1: came in and had them move heaven and earth to
Speaker 1: bring in Paul George. And listen, he did play well
Speaker 1: against Denver, didn't have a great game seven, But I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's Lebron James and he doesn't have
Speaker 1: a great game seven. We're still talking about it today.
Speaker 1: So you have to put a lot on Kauiet And
Speaker 1: here's a crazy thing, Dan, he could be a free agent.
Speaker 1: He could leave. Can you imagine everything they did to
Speaker 1: get Kawhi Leonard and everything he wanted them to do,
Speaker 1: and then come the off season, whatever that is this year,
Speaker 1: maybe in August, he tells them, I'll see you later.
Speaker 1: I'm going someplace else where. Does that lawsuit stand with
Speaker 1: the guy who said he helped facilitate Kawhide to the
Speaker 1: Clippers with Jerry West, I mean, I can't imagine it's
Speaker 1: gonna go very far. Was Jerry West probably speaking to
Speaker 1: somebody who's close friends with Kawhi Leonard? Absolutely? But did
Speaker 1: this person have anything to do with Kawhi going there?
Speaker 1: I highly doubt that. Dad. People were talking about this
Speaker 1: all throughout the season in Toronto. I thought that Toronto
Speaker 1: was going to be able to resign him, not only
Speaker 1: when they went to the finals, but when they won
Speaker 1: a championship. I figured you out, what, maybe he'll stay
Speaker 1: one or two years, then he'll go out to the
Speaker 1: Western Conference. But everyone was saying Clippers or Lakers all
Speaker 1: throughout the year. So how much did this person have
Speaker 1: to do with it? Just because you had a couple
Speaker 1: of conversations with Jerry West, I'm not buying that. What
Speaker 1: about the Nets with what they're doing well, James Harden
Speaker 1: is doing with Kyrie out, Durant's still out. Did they
Speaker 1: do anything at the trade deadline? Well, they could be
Speaker 1: a team in the buyout market that's been talking about
Speaker 1: maybe JJ Reddick. You know, JaVale McGhee now was off
Speaker 1: the board. He got traded. Andre Drummond is still out there.
Speaker 1: The one thing about Brooklyn if you look at James
Speaker 1: Harden what he has done so last night, they held
Speaker 1: him out of the game and Steve Nash after the
Speaker 1: winning It's Washington the other night and Harden took a
Speaker 1: knock to the head. He looked like he was out
Speaker 1: of it. His neck was hurt him. He started the
Speaker 1: second half. I was surprised that he played in that game.
Speaker 1: He played against Portland, but Nash had said, I'm concerned
Speaker 1: about the minutes. I don't know what to do about it.
Speaker 1: I think they held him out of the game last night.
Speaker 1: He was in uniform. To me, that's a player's way
Speaker 1: of saying, they're holding me out. He didn't feel like
Speaker 1: he needed to get dressed up and wear some crazy
Speaker 1: outfit that he's putting on a fashion show on the bench.
Speaker 1: To me, he wanted to be out there. He's carried
Speaker 1: the team. Kevin Durant is their best player. The face
Speaker 1: of the team right now is James Harden. Do you
Speaker 1: know that he's played thirty games. Kevin Durant in his
Speaker 1: Nets career has played nineteen. Kyrie's only played thirty one.
Speaker 1: This guy missed the first thirteen games of the season
Speaker 1: with the Nets, and he's gonna end up playing more
Speaker 1: games than both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irvan. But do
Speaker 1: you think it's Harden's team? I do from this standpoint,
Speaker 1: he's been the one carrying them. Now when they get
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. And this is the thing about the trade
Speaker 1: deadline today, Everyone's going to be trying to make moves.
Speaker 1: We're assuming the Nets are going to get Kevin Durant back.
Speaker 1: They're saying it's a hamstring injury, and I think now
Speaker 1: they're just being extra cautious. Nobody is acquiring a player
Speaker 1: like the Nets are going to get back and Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: And Kevin Durant is invested. From this standpoint, he knows
Speaker 1: there's one result that he can get. You either win
Speaker 1: or it's been a bust. Doesn't mean you can't go
Speaker 1: back next year and try to win it. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him. He is so happy with
Speaker 1: the way that Harden has played, and Hardenes is the
Speaker 1: same way hardened, forced his way out of Houston. He
Speaker 1: knows what his reputation was. He knows there's only one
Speaker 1: satisfactory result, and that's winning. That's why this team has
Speaker 1: been all in. Charles Barkley said recently that Harden's best
Speaker 1: player in the game and talked about, you know, just
Speaker 1: what he does offensively, it's unlike anybody else, which I look.
Speaker 1: I agree with the offensive side of this. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's the best player in the game, but he's
Speaker 1: on the short list there. He could have played back
Speaker 1: in the eighties or nineties with the physicality there. I'm
Speaker 1: just curious what Jordan and Kobe some of these players. Now,
Speaker 1: Kobe had a little bit of this era, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, spread spread the floor, can't put your hands
Speaker 1: on anybody. They would have developed into better three point
Speaker 1: shooters because your offense almost calls for that. I said earlier,
Speaker 1: I think that you know, Mike and Kobe average at
Speaker 1: least forty a game at the peak of their careers.
Speaker 1: In today's NBA, they average high thirties. You know, back
Speaker 1: in then another era. What do you think you know
Speaker 1: when you we love to compare eras there, But if
Speaker 1: I put Jordan in some of these other players in
Speaker 1: today's game, how much does their game change evolve and
Speaker 1: what do you think they average? Well, you were living
Speaker 1: through it when Michael Jordan was going was playing, and
Speaker 1: you remember Doc Rivers about what six foot five Derek
Speaker 1: carp or six foot three, both strong, and they're both
Speaker 1: putting their hand right on Michael Jordan's hip and trying
Speaker 1: to guide them to where they want to take them.
Speaker 1: You were allowed to be really physical with him and
Speaker 1: he still is leading the league in scoring and he's
Speaker 1: winning championships. Can you imagine him in today's NBA with
Speaker 1: how many times they call fouls? He would spend the
Speaker 1: entire game at the freaking and see. For me, it's
Speaker 1: a little bit different. And I'm sure you're the same way.
Speaker 1: I think Michael Jordan's the best player of all time.
Speaker 1: I just I never felt you were going to beat
Speaker 1: him four times in a playoff series. So I think
Speaker 1: if you put him in today's NBA, and if he
Speaker 1: wanted to and he had the same drive that he
Speaker 1: had back then, because today with the old management, who
Speaker 1: knows how he would be. But if he was willing
Speaker 1: to play eighty games a year, eight to eighty two.
Speaker 1: He's gonna average thirty to thirty five points and he's
Speaker 1: gonna win MVP every year. Yeah. I remember Phil Jackson
Speaker 1: came in. He was promoting his book, and I said,
Speaker 1: what would Mike average now? And he said he could
Speaker 1: see him average forty forty five points. Again, but that's
Speaker 1: if you're coach. If Michael was playing for the Rockets
Speaker 1: where Dantoni was his coach, then Mike could average whatever
Speaker 1: he wanted average, because that's what James was allowed to do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're one hundred percent right, And I think ever since
Speaker 1: Harden got to Brooklyn. If you look the other night
Speaker 1: he had seventeen assists. He's the when he grabs a rebound,
Speaker 1: much like Lebron, his head is up and he's looking
Speaker 1: to throw the ball ahead. So I get it. And Houston,
Speaker 1: they wanted him to play a certain way, and all
Speaker 1: he did was dribble the ball for basically twenty two
Speaker 1: seconds on the shot clock. Then he would take the
Speaker 1: step back three. But he's been an unbelievable leader on
Speaker 1: this team. He's always looking to get guys involved in
Speaker 1: latent games. When he feels like he has to take over,
Speaker 1: he puts his head down, he drives to the basket
Speaker 1: and he makes that floater and if the defense commits,
Speaker 1: he flows, he throws the ball up for now you
Speaker 1: it's amazing how he reads the games. He sees the
Speaker 1: plays developed like a split second before everybody else. It's
Speaker 1: the mark really of a brilliant player. And it's the
Speaker 1: one thing that is probably not highlighted with Harden because
Speaker 1: we look at him as a gunner, a volume shooter.
Speaker 1: His ability to and you say this, keep his head
Speaker 1: up and see the floor and see a play before
Speaker 1: it develops. That's rarely highlighted with James Harden. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I think too if you look at Mike D'Antoni. He
Speaker 1: had in Phoenix Steve Nash, a two time MVP in
Speaker 1: the league, and I think Nash was the same obviously
Speaker 1: the same way. The difference is that Harden at any
Speaker 1: point could just dominate a game scoring. That's what makes
Speaker 1: him so So if they get Kevin Durant back and
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving is going to be around and he's going
Speaker 1: to play in every game, it's gonna be so difficult
Speaker 1: for any team in the Eastern Conference to beat them. Now,
Speaker 1: Milwaukee with PJ. Tucker now that true Holiday is back.
Speaker 1: Look at the way that they've played. I think it's
Speaker 1: now eight in a row. So they'll be a tough team.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has done really well and beat and beat us,
Speaker 1: dominated the nets a couple of times this season, so
Speaker 1: they'll present challenges. But if and I understand it's a
Speaker 1: seven foot you know, if that's Kevin Durant in his health.
Speaker 1: But if he's healthy, I just don't know how you
Speaker 1: can beat that team because with Durant and Durant and
Speaker 1: hard and they're unstoppable. Then you throw Kyrie into the mix, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, he has played really well the last
Speaker 1: three weeks, he's just not with the team now the
Speaker 1: last couple of games. I'll leave you with this, if
Speaker 1: the Bucks had won the championship last year, would the
Speaker 1: MVP voters be looking at the Greek freak differently and
Speaker 1: maybe a three peat and being held against him? Hey,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I always say that two about
Speaker 1: the voting. You know, the media votes for it, and
Speaker 1: we all kind of like a story was like Karl
Speaker 1: Malone winning that one year when you probably could have
Speaker 1: given it to Michael Jordan, Like you could give it
Speaker 1: to Michael Jordan every year, you can kind of give
Speaker 1: it to Lebron. But remember though, we did vote based
Speaker 1: on the season ending. I think it was March eleventh
Speaker 1: or March twelfth, whenever it was last year, and at
Speaker 1: that point Janie had done more, the team had the
Speaker 1: best record in the league. From the bubble on, Lebron
Speaker 1: was the best player. So Lebron was bringing up an
Speaker 1: argument which really didn't hold water. We had voted in March.
Speaker 1: But I do think you're right, and I think sometimes
Speaker 1: there's a little voter fatigue with an MVP. That's why
Speaker 1: maybe this could be the year for a guy like
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard, maybe Nicolee Yokich, James Harden. So that's the
Speaker 1: thing too. The media might be thinking out of the
Speaker 1: way that you handled your exit in you said, I
Speaker 1: don't like it either, But come on, now, the guy
Speaker 1: is certainly an MVP canate. But with mbiad out right
Speaker 1: now and Lebron out, it's kind of wide open and
Speaker 1: the honest certainly is making a move right now. Is
Speaker 1: that len Bias's jersey behind? Yes, the great len Bias.
Speaker 1: What's the reason behind me? I went I went to Maryland. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was a freshman with his last year. What a
Speaker 1: scene year he had. They went down to Carolina. Carolina
Speaker 1: had never lost, they were number one in the country.
Speaker 1: They had never lost a game yet in the deemed
Speaker 1: home right. Yeah, and that's when len Bias went down
Speaker 1: and that was that great play where he has he
Speaker 1: hits the three, then he steals the inbound from Kenny
Speaker 1: Smith and dunks the ball backward. I mean, come on, now,
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good college time. How would you describe
Speaker 1: him for those who didn't see len Bias, Well, I
Speaker 1: think you know, if he asked Michael Jordan, he would
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it's on Michael Jordan's level, But
Speaker 1: if he had played for the Boston Celtics when that
Speaker 1: group still had a lot left, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: much of a reach to say that he would have
Speaker 1: been that they would won another championship. He went to
Speaker 1: Dukes senior, so his senior they beat number one Carolina
Speaker 1: and Carolina where you know they get every single call,
Speaker 1: Dean Smith standing up the whole time complaining about traveling.
Speaker 1: They went down to Duke and I think he had
Speaker 1: forty or forty one, and the Duke students were balanced
Speaker 1: in they were doing this, so like people knew that
Speaker 1: len Bias was a different kind of player. Frank, thanks

Speaker 1: at Hinkle field House where we were recreating scene from Hoosiers.
Speaker 1: Butler Bulldogs their field house there when they shot the
Speaker 1: closing scenes for Hoosiers and we did the one where
Speaker 1: they come out and they measure the basket. We had
Speaker 1: our Butler jackets on. It was fun. I love that place,
Speaker 1: you know, although during the day it's it's not a
Speaker 1: great place, you know, during the day for shooters because
Speaker 1: the light comes in. They have these big windows there,
Speaker 1: but it has it has a really cozy, you know,
Speaker 1: fun feel to it. It's special. It's different. No, it's
Speaker 1: not like, you know, just a sterile environment that you
Speaker 1: have in a lot of these arenas. But we had
Speaker 1: a lot of fun back then. Well, I mean we
Speaker 1: still have fun, but that was that was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. If you're a fan of the movie Hoosiers.
Speaker 1: And we had like two hours to ourselves at Hinklefield House. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it felt like like like a time machine. Oh, it
Speaker 1: was awesome just shooting around. Yes time we got a
Speaker 1: chance to hang out with the dog on top of
Speaker 1: the shooting around. It was just great all the way around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the bulldog, Yeah, he was fun because he wanted to
Speaker 1: play with the basketball. But that was good. That was
Speaker 1: that was a fun time. Rory McElroy teams up with Peka.
Speaker 1: Do you see where Rory hit the one of his
Speaker 1: drives yesterday in a swimming pool. Tough to play it
Speaker 1: out of that, but that's a water hazard, but hit
Speaker 1: it out of bounds. Rory McElroy teaming up with Peacock
Speaker 1: bringing you the golf Pass channel all new watch premier instructions,
Speaker 1: entertainment from the Golf Membership program, plus the daily news
Speaker 1: from Golf Channel. Sign up at Peacock tv dot com.
Speaker 1: Starts streaming now. I don't take pleasure watching golfers hit
Speaker 1: bad shots, but I remember Francesco Manali. He topped one
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago at a tournament off the
Speaker 1: first team. He did what we've done. He just tops it.
Speaker 1: He probably ended up with a par, but he just
Speaker 1: topped it. Or you see where Jordan's speeth I think
Speaker 1: nearly hit one of his playing partners, the guy who's
Speaker 1: playing with yesterday. Those things don't happen with pros, at
Speaker 1: least you don't think they do. And then when they do,
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, what just happened there? And Rory hit
Speaker 1: one that went out of bounds and landed in somebody's
Speaker 1: pool in Austin, Texas. Yes Club. The scariest story you've
Speaker 1: ever told is having to tea off of those proams
Speaker 1: with the people right in front of you that you
Speaker 1: could have hit, and they think you know what you're doing,
Speaker 1: and I would. I played in the Pebble Beach ProAm
Speaker 1: twice and you get up on the fort All you
Speaker 1: want to do is a great tea shot on the
Speaker 1: first tea and a great put on the eighteenth hole.
Speaker 1: That's it, because for the most part, the gallery is
Speaker 1: probably not following you, but they're gonna watch you on
Speaker 1: the first tea and they'll watch you coming up eighteen
Speaker 1: and that's all all you want. But then you play
Speaker 1: in a ProAm out in Tahoe and I would be
Speaker 1: waving people back because I'm thinking, I don't know what
Speaker 1: I'm doing out here. They think that, you know, they're
Speaker 1: following a tour player. This day in sports History, PAULI,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me? Blank became the first
Speaker 1: player in the NHL to score two hundred points a season.
Speaker 1: Dan Wayne grets This day in sports history. If it's
Speaker 1: it's always Bobby Halloween Gretzky nineteen ninety seven. You're Hartford
Speaker 1: Whalers announced they would leave Connecticut following the nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: six This is very touchy up in Bristol still following
Speaker 1: the ninety six ninety seven season. I was there for
Speaker 1: the last game of the Hartford Whalers. Burman never got
Speaker 1: over that, No, he did not. How We Schwab never
Speaker 1: got over that. Stumped the Schwab they became the Carolina Hurricanes.
Speaker 1: Dan Yeah. And then just the following year it looked
Speaker 1: like a bright spot in Hartford that they thought they
Speaker 1: were going to get the Patriots. The Patriots bait and
Speaker 1: switched the state of Connecticut. Do you get a better deal?
Speaker 1: Back home in Foxborough? And I remember people would ask
Speaker 1: me all the time when I'd come home from work,
Speaker 1: do you think we're getting the Patriots? And I would say, no,
Speaker 1: you're not getting the Patriots. And my wife said, can
Speaker 1: you stop saying that. I said, it's my job to
Speaker 1: be honest, and she goes, but the disappointment on their faces.
Speaker 1: I said, well, I can't lie. She said, well, just
Speaker 1: say you don't know. I said, but I do know.
Speaker 1: The Patriots aren't coming here. So my wife is telling
Speaker 1: me to lie to our neighbors just so they're gonna
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better. Yes, it's like some sit
Speaker 1: These are minor league cities, and that's okay, that's okay.
Speaker 1: Be an awesome minor league city where it's cheap to
Speaker 1: go to a game and there's lots of fun to
Speaker 1: be had. Yeah, okay, there's nothing wrong with that. The
Speaker 1: Hartford Yard goats. Dad. Did you see that disco that
Speaker 1: minor league baseball team called Disco Turkeys. Did you guys
