WEBVTT - 03/25/21 DPS Hour 3 Frank Isola

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. It doesn't happen in all trades, but there

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>is an awkward feel two trades. We don't want this,

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>would you take it? Sure, we don't want this, would

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you take that? Now, there's certain times when you make

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>a trade and you have to give up something that

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>you want to keep. But sometimes it's we don't want this,

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>would you take? You know, I go back to the

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff trade where the Rams go, Yeah, we don't

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>want him, we don't want that contract. Or the Eagles

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.000
<v Speaker 1>with Carson Wentz. Yeah, we don't want him, But would

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you take him? And then what do you give us

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>in return? Yeah, we will take Matthew Stafford and we'll

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>sweeten the pot and give you some other things with

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff or Carson Wentz. The same way with the Colts. Yeah,

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>the NBA trade deadline and some of the names, Lonzo Ball,

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Lowry, Norm Powell, Aaron Gordon. That's about it, Andre Drummond.

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>But we'll talk to Frank Aisle from the Mothership. He'll

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 1>join us coming up. We'll talk about the deals that

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>should get done, will get done. What is in a

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>name when it comes to Washington's football team a whole lot.

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>After years of controversy, they lost their nickname, temporarily went

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>with the Washington Football team, and then yesterday their team

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 1>president Jason Wright said, Washington Football Team supposed to be temporary,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>but the fans love it, so now they're not sure

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.040
<v Speaker 1>what they're going to do. I guess you can explore

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>new names, new nicknames, but one financial reason is, you know,

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the merchandise here right now they're selling generic looking shirts

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.160
<v Speaker 1>that are pretty simple. But I guess there's a cool

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>factor to us to it a coolness. But you switch

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>to a new name, and then you could sell another

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 1>batch of merchandise here. But you really don't think about

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>names for most teams only when they're controversy. Knows anybody

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you think about You know the Rams in Los Angeles,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if there are Rams in Los Angeles.

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>We know the Minneapolis Lakers became the La Lakers, Bears

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>in Chicago. I don't know Jazz in Utah, But I

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>don't know if anybody cares. Washington is an exception. The

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>name was a big deal, is a big deal. It

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like the team will keep it in the news

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>for some time to come here, stay with the Washington

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>football team. The only thing I thought of is then

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Snyder can kind of move on. It's not something

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>that people it was a yearly almost an annual protest

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>or somebody would be writing articles on this. Why do

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>we allow this? And then the commissioner's on his desk

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>and then he's got to respond to this. All right,

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.919
<v Speaker 1>Washington football team, we move on, all right. I lose

0:02:55.919 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>out on some merchandise. So what I sidestep a controversy

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>or I avoid it all together. Maybe you sell this

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>merchandise and then in two years you change I don't know, Like,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>what are you going to change it too? Yeah? I'm

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>a club. Yeah. The name's like the RedHawks that have

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>been thrown out, Like none of them as cool as

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Washington Football team, right, I think that's like unique, right, Yeah,

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay with it. I joked about it at the

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>time and said they should go with the Washington Football Club,

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>but they went with Washington football team. I think the

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>most important part of all of this is how about

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you put a good team on the field, Like that's

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the most important thing out of all of this, because

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>when you had that nickname, you didn't have a good product. Therefore,

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>it was a little easier to focus on the name

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>and the controversy. When you have a good football team,

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 1>seems like there's less concern, less focus on that nickname

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>or lack thereof. That to me would be the most

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>important thing moving forward. Yeah, MC club feels like their

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>trajectory is I don't know it's going straight up, but

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>it feels like they've had a great year run. We

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>loved Ron Rivera. I think everybody respects and likes Ron Rivera.

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I like what Washington is doing. I'm not sold on

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacking situation. They did make the playoffs, granted somebody

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>had to from that division, but Ryan Fitzpatrick, Okay, is

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>he going to be my quarterback next year? And if

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>he's not, then what direction am I going in? Like

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>that would be That's what I would be curious about,

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>because you've got to have that who's our franchise quarterback?

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 1>And they don't have a franchise quarterback. The Giants think

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>they have it, the Cowboys think they have it. I

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 1>don't think the Eagles think they have a franchise quarterback.

0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>And then you have Washington, But Washington has a young team.

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of talent that defense. The defensive line

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>played really well. I thought that they were gonna go

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>with Heineke as their starting quarterback. But and maybe they do.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you bring in but I can't imagine that Ryan

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick would hold off retirement to be a backup quarterback

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>with Washington. I don't know if there are any assurances there.

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>But if i'm Ryan Fitzpatrick, because he was also mentioned,

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I think in Denver, like there were a couple of

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>teams that were interested in Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yeah, mclvan, what

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 1>if Washington would you like if they trade up to

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>say thirteen fourteen to go for a mac Wilson or

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a rookie that can sit behind Fitzpatrick and learn. Although

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:29.480
<v Speaker 1>I tell her Ineke could be that too, but mac Jones,

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 1>mac Jones, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>they're I don't have any source that deals with Washington.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any inside information on what they might do.

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you have Heineke and you have you know,

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Fitzpatrick. Now that doesn't mean you wouldn't say, hey,

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>we got mac Jones and we're gonna start him. I mean,

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>it might be a great situation where you don't have to.

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they whipped on their last quarterback that they

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>took in the first dround, and maybe maybe they want

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.039
<v Speaker 1>to kind of survey the field a little bit and

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>see what happens with other quarterbacks. If is Sam Darnold

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>eventually going to be available, Jimmy Garoppolo available, they are

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>teams that are gonna be all in on getting a

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in the first round, and then what happens to

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>their quarterback. You don't like taking leftovers, But I don't

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>know if they're they're one of those teams that's going

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to go up and get a quarterback. Yeah. Mclen so

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you said that Penny Shool and Patrick certain are probably

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the two safest bets, and that you had heard that

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>they might be. Like Chase Young is a great player

0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>with Washington, but even as great as you are, if

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>they passed on Justin Herbert, well that haunt them. So

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like, that's why you have to take the risk

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>on the quarterback if you're that hot. Chase Young's amazing,

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.839
<v Speaker 1>But still if you look back on it, wouldn't you

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.559
<v Speaker 1>got a quarterback Because you gotta find them. It felt

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 1>like Chase Young, you knew what you were getting. We

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>still weren't sure with Justin Herbert, you know, for everybody

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>to you know, tell everybody or tell you know, hey,

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I knew he was gonna be great. I think that

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that that's a small group. He's athletic, he you know,

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>we saw that in the Rose Bowl. He had big arm,

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, big kid. But you know, there were issues

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>with consistency with him. There were times when you'd watch

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>and you wouldn't see anything that was special, and then

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 1>other times you would and you go wow, you know,

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think he handled the pressure of all

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>all the notoriety his junior year and then his senior

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>year then we were like, Okay, let's see what you have.

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 1>And I just think that there was inconsistent inconsistency there.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>And then he had Tua where it's really hard to

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>play a bad game at Alabama, and I mean Miami

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:50.640
<v Speaker 1>was tanking for Tua. But you know, the injury and

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a slow start to his career. Joe Burrow played really

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>well with Cincinnati, and then Herbert surprised every Herbert. When

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 1>do you think Herbert would have gotten in to the

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>lineup if you don't have the doctor who was puncturing

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Tyrod Taylor's lung accidentally, when do you think he's going

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>to be playing? Because the Chargers didn't see him as

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a guy who was starting. That's why when when you

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>know we look at it, go band, some team's really

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>missed on him. I mean the Chargers might have missed

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>on him from the standpoint of they were going to

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>start Tyrod Taylor. It's not like and you know, watching

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Hard Knocks, you could see how players veterans would watch

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Justin Herbert and drills and you got that sense of wow,

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>that is different. And I remember saying, we haven't seen

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 1>something like that around here a long time. But even then,

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't going to start. And then I wonder how

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>long you were going to keep him out. Now, maybe

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Anthony Lynn can say, you know, I knew it,

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I just wanted him to get the

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>feel of the game from the sidelines and game plan,

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>listen on the headset, all those things. But I don't

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>know how many people were like that guy can't miss

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Because if you did the draft again, does Justin Herbert

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>go before Joe Burrow? And I'm gonna guess you're gonna

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 1>have some people who say yes. Justin Herbert was great, well,

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.439
<v Speaker 1>very good from start to finish. Last year, Joe Burrow

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.959
<v Speaker 1>got hurt. Joe Burrow, to me, had a more impressive

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.679
<v Speaker 1>year because he was doing it with the Bengals and

0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.079
<v Speaker 1>he had some He was the only guy out there

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>when you when you watch the Bengal games, you'd be like, Wow,

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>he's somehow making this happen. But you know, those two

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>are going to be compared the rest of their careers,

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 1>along with two as well. And then Jordan Love. You know,

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>does Jordan Love get thrown into the mix there? Do

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we look at him and include him and these guys

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>who were taken in the first job high in the

0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>first job? Yeah? Mclove. Is that like how Baker Mayfield

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 1>and that whole class all gets lumped together? Lamar Jackson,

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Joshi s Right, Josh Rosen. I don't know if it

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 1>gets in. I don't know if they get lumped in

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 1>together as much as I think Mitchell truebisky because the

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Bears didn't take Mahomes or Deshaun Watson. But Watson and

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes will probably be compared the rest of their careers.

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>But I think Truebisky was there because the Bears passed

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>on those other guys. Nate and Oklahoma. Hi, Nate, what's

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.559
<v Speaker 1>on your mind today? Hey? Dan? You know I've always

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>been a big fan in the NFL draft of you know,

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>filling those holes, finding the best people to fit your

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>positions of need. After being a Titan fan last year

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and witnessing Isaiah Wilson this is the Astros rookie season

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>of four snaps and then all the troubles he's going through. Yeah,

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 1>please take the best person available at any position, regardless

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 1>and figure it out. The Cardinals did it with Kyler Murray.

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a different situation the quarterback, and they

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>found someone that they loved. But please love God, just

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>take whoever you love the mode all right, Thank you, Nate,

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:11.319
<v Speaker 1>and Nate sounded sad for good six Please please please

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>take the end of the end of his rope. There's

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 1>uh you got one more call to make? Yeah, I

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>got a call it day, Padrick Show. I just gotta

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 1>tell him, make sure you take the best best of uh.

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Adrian wogin Arounski is reporting the Bulls and the Magic.

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I've made a trade, uh Nicola Vucevic, Al farouq Aminu

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 1>for Otto, Porter Wendell Carter Junior, the third and two

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:46.199
<v Speaker 1>first round picks. All right, that's pretty good haul for Chicago.

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>They're still interested in Lonzo ball. The Magic are moving

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:55.959
<v Speaker 1>towards a rebuild with Aaron Gordon. Us is thirty years old.

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Listen's Center argin twenty five and twelve this year. That's

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>about as quiet as you could possibly average twenty five

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and twelve. He's an All Star. He was the last Austar. Yeah, yeah,

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>but an All Star. Aaron Gordon is on his way out.

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>And Hm, it'd be tough to go or watch a

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Magic game. You'll do it, though, I will, I will, y. Yes.

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>It's like they're making their relevance disappear. Magic Kingdom. Magic

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>magicians make things disappear. You're a Lando Magic and making

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>their relevance disappear by getting rid of everybody. Thanks in

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the studio, Thanks goofy, you've been you've been quiet for

0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>two hours. I've been trying to track down various hockey

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>people that are willing and have the courage to come

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>on and talk about this theory. This is in our wheelhouse,

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to track down these Uh, these guys. Yes, mclova,

0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>I saw one juicy rumor and I'll hang up and

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>listen after this with a bills trade Larry marketing for

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Linzo Ball? Would you do that? Because they're both free

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.439
<v Speaker 1>agents after the year, so they might be shopping marketing.

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Who I haven't heard us mentioned once in two years.

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>We were all excited about that guy. I liked him.

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Is he yeah? Not Arizona. I liked him, and he

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>was good in his rookie year. I feel like he

0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>should have second year. He's a shooter. He should be

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 1>good at today's NBA. But I haven't heard much about it. Yeah,

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I heard where he once again. I when somebody says

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm hearing or there's a rumor, But yeah, I don't know.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.400
<v Speaker 1>We can ask Frank Eisola about this coming up here.

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>By the way. You know, when you look at you know,

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Justin Herbert getting his chance because of a punctured lung.

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, how long does Tom Brady wait if Drew

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Brees doesn't get hit right, who knows how long that is?

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the Patriots knew they had something

0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 1>in Brady, but you would just made Drew Bledsoe the

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>highest paid quarterback in the league, who was the highest

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>paid player in the league him a hundred million dollars.

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>And then all of a sudden, Brady comes in and

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>even during the Super Bowl he managed I don't know

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 1>if you can say he led the Patriots to a win.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 1>The defense played great, and you had been a terry

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>kick in the game winning field goal, but you know,

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 1>he was managing the game. And then all of a sudden,

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I think they realized that they had something else there. Yeah, Poe, Well,

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess if you look back at we talked about

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that Bill Belichick's gutsy play was not going back to Bloodstoe. Yeah.

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 1>In November, I think one of the gutsier ones of

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>all time, I think maybe was Pete Carroll going with

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson as a rookie over Matt Flynn. They spent

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>on Flynn, not Carroll, but the GM spent on Flynn. Yeah,

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think that was based off one impressive performance

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>against the Detroit Lions. And then Matt Flynn became a

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>free agent and it's like, we gotta have Matt Flynn.

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>And then I think Pete Carroll was around Russell Wilson

0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>and realized you know who he was is, And I

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>think Pete was outside shooting hoops at the Seahawks facility

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>and he called. He told pr person, have Russ come out.

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>And Russ goes out. Russ has no idea what Pete

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.479
<v Speaker 1>Carroll's going to tell him, and I think Pete basically

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 1>say said, hey, you're our starting quarterback, like not a

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>not a big presentation, more of just hey, while I'm

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>shooting hoops here, you're our starting quarterback. And Russ was

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the starting quarterback ever since then, hadn't missed a game. Yea, yeah.

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Twenty eleven with Green Bay, Matt Flint started one game

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and he played some and some others and he had

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>He's a seventy percent passer, had six touchdowns, two picks.

0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Everyone crazy over him. He was only twenty six years old.

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks pointed up he never started one game as a Seahawk,

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 1>but was his big performance where he threw for four

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred yards against the Lions. Yeah, that'll get you paid. Yeah,

0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess all right, we'll take a break a slow

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>start to the trade deadline, but we'll talk to Frank.

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 1>See what he's saying, thinks is going to happen here?

0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 1>We still have what four hours or so before the

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.240

<v Speaker 1>that's coming back around. Oh that's curious here. Tribe called Quest. Yeah,

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that, but thank you. I'm aware of

0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 1>tribe called Quest, but I don't know any of their songs.

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Now you know too? I do, yeah, this one and

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the last one I pu okay, Oh so that was

0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 1>tribe called Quest too. I did love the name tribe

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 1>called Quest. Yes. Yes, I've driven around the other day

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and I heard a little Big Daddy Kane early eighties millions,

0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 1>really good rapper. Yeah, I'm not familiar. You don't a

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Big Daddy Kane. I know the name, but I don't

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 1>know my very talented. My knowledge of rap is not

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that good. Well, your window of music is really what

0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 1>like seven late sixties to late seventies? Is that like

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.480
<v Speaker 1>your wheelhouse? I love a lot. I love a lot

0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.240
<v Speaker 1>of music. But um, but if you were saying the

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:02.880
<v Speaker 1>music I grew up on was blank, Oh yeah, it's

0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:13.919
<v Speaker 1>sixties seventies. But yeah, I mean tupunk Uh who else? Uh? Biggie.

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I think Biggie's the best rapper I ever heard, like

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.600
<v Speaker 1>the way he sounds. But yeah, I'm not I'm not

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a big rap Yes, what about the Bismarckie me and

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 1>rock him? You know ll cool J though, Yeah, I

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>know who he is, but I don't know it. I

0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know the music. It makes me sad. Why it

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>makes me sad that you. You all you listen to

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that Billy Joel and Hall and own CRUs around with

0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the Beastie Boys. You don't like Frankstein, you don't know Zeppelin,

0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:44.919
<v Speaker 1>you don't know the Stones, you don't know the Who like.

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>I feel sad for you. Yes, Seed, I've said it before,

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>but driving in the car with Todd and letting his

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I pod or whatever kind of music player

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.359
<v Speaker 1>he has just go on shuffle is fascinating because you'll

0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.160
<v Speaker 1>get you know, Biggie Small followed by Air Supply, followed

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>by like a Guns and Roses song or something. You're like,

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 1>what the music Neil sedaka Barry Manilow all that stuff. Yeah,

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't, I don't. I don't know most of the

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Public Enemy. Right after that, and you're like Public Enemy

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.200
<v Speaker 1>into Survivor no kid it Wow, all right, yeah, let's

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.959
<v Speaker 1>do it. Public Enemy. I get, I get their impact

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 1>on music society. But uh yeah, Biggie Smalls two Punk.

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, let's bring in Frank I sold he'd be

0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the guy who talked to when it comes to music

0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like this. Frank you you want to add anything to this?

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I figured it was the natural segue that we're talking

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 1>hip hop, So why not? Why not bring me on?

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:41.959
<v Speaker 1>I like all those guys that you mentioned. I'm like you, Dan,

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I know the songs, I just don't know who played them.

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I went to a YouTube concert years ago. I flew

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>out to Portland. It was gonna be the final night

0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of their US tour. It was like three eights before Christmas.

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 1>My wife's still not talking to me about this because

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I went and Kanye West was the warm up act.

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And we got out there and we were probably like

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>we were standing up. We were like three people from

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the stage. He was unbelievable. He was so good. He

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:09.719
<v Speaker 1>played for about ninety minutes. He was great. And you

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:12.639
<v Speaker 1>two him up there too. You two has always been great. Um.

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I saw them when they had Muse opened up for

0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 1>them and Kings of Leon opened up for them. I

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 1>saw that one too, Yeah, yeah. And I saw them

0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>with Damian Marley once, you know, like the reggae. Yeah.

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>He was outstanding, really good. All right, Frank, Well that

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.639
<v Speaker 1>was it. We appreciate you, see you guys. Woods just

0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 1>reported that the Bulls landed uh Nicola Vussevic, a couple

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.199
<v Speaker 1>other players for Auto Porter, Wendell Carter Junior in two

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.960
<v Speaker 1>first round picks here, and the Chicago is still in

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the chase for Lonzo Ball. Why is it that other

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.400
<v Speaker 1>teams want Lonzo Ball but New Orleans doesn't want Lonzo Ball.

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I think it's because they're gonna eventually have to pay

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:53.919
<v Speaker 1>Lonzo Ball. But there is a lot of interest in him,

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and you think about he's He's improved a lot. I

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 1>think his shot has improved a lot. He's a big

0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>time athlete. He's not going to be better than a brother,

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 1>but his brother has a chance to be a perennial

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 1>All Star. I kind of like that deal though for

0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Vussovitch. There was a good stat that somebody just had.

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>There are four guys in the NBA this year averaging

0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:12.720
<v Speaker 1>at least twenty four points and ten rebounds Nicolea Yokich,

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Jani Santetacumbo, Joel Embiid, all three of those guys who

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:18.919
<v Speaker 1>are MVP candidates. Now you have Vussevich, who's putting up

0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>those numbers on a losing team. I get that, but

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 1>you put him with Zach Levine and obviously the Bulls

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 1>aren't done. I think this is a team that's headed

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:27.399
<v Speaker 1>in the right direction with that new management team, and

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously with Billy Donovan as the head coach. Let me

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:32.760
<v Speaker 1>go back to New Orleans and the Pelicans. When I watch,

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>they're a blow average team. Frank, I like, I don't

0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.119
<v Speaker 1>understand what is missing here. I don't understand this. Well.

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>For one, they don't play enough defense. And I think

0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Zion Williamson has been terrific, but on the defensive end,

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.720
<v Speaker 1>he's not good. And you know, we just mentioned LaMelo Ball.

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 1>But one thing that sticks out for me the most

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>about LaMelo Ball is he got to Charlotte. He's putting

0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>up good numbers and the team has been winning. Now

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I get it, he's in the Eastern Conference, so it's

0:22:56.640 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different to me. That's still gonna be

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the measure in the impact that you're really going to

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.480
<v Speaker 1>have on a team. And maybe there still needs to

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>be some growth that has to happen there because it

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 1>is a very young team and it's probably gonna it's

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 1>not going to get older anytime soon, and they're just

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to navigate their way through the Western Conference. The

0:23:11.240 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 1>West is tough. I think a lot of people are disappointed.

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they should be a little bit further along.

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>But defense is the problem with that team. They just

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:21.359
<v Speaker 1>don't guard anybody. Or the Clippers interested in Lonzo Ball, like,

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:25.600
<v Speaker 1>what's the likelihood where's his landing spot? Well, I think

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.359
<v Speaker 1>there's a you know, a few teams. I think the Knicks,

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:30.399
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, are still interested in him. I

0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 1>think if he went to a team like the Clippers,

0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he could help them. The problem with the

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Clippers is they would love to have a guy like

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Lowry. But I just don't think they have enough

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to give the Clippers back, not only just in terms

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 1>of assets, because remember they made those trades to get

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Paul George. They gave up all their first round picks,

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 1>but I don't even think they have enough to give

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 1>back in terms of contracts. So to me, Kyle Lowry,

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the perfect fit for him would be the Clippers. You

0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>put him there, that's what they need. A leader, a

0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>guy that's been through it before, a tough guy. He

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:00.639
<v Speaker 1>takes he's flopping all over the he knows how to

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 1>draw fouls. That would be the perfect player. Lonzo Ball

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>could help them, But does it take them over the

0:24:06.359 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Lakers if Lebron and Anthony Davis comes back. I'm not sure.

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 1>About that. What about Kyle Lowry to the Lakers? Do

0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>they have the pieces that's that would be a big

0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:16.920
<v Speaker 1>time move for them. And that's the thing when you

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:18.720
<v Speaker 1>when you have Lebron and your team, and who knows,

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 1>he'll probably play until he's fifty, but you know, you

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 1>have to look at it like you have a golden

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.439
<v Speaker 1>opportunity right now and if they can get him, that

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:28.199
<v Speaker 1>would be so move. I think Kyle from what I

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 1>had heard the last couple of days from a guy

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:33.439
<v Speaker 1>that's close with Kyle Lowry, is that you know, he

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 1>really if he's not going to stay in Toronto, he'd

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>like to go to Miami. I think that's something that

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 1>appeals to him. But I think the Lakers have always

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.560
<v Speaker 1>been out there and he fits in so perfectly with

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 1>that team in terms of his toughness and his leadership

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 1>could knock down a three point shot. Anybody that plays

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 1>with Lebron is going to be that much better. And

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:51.719
<v Speaker 1>you put Kyle Lowry and Anthony Davis there, come on,

0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty formidable team. Aaron Gordon, Once out of Orlando,

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:57.159
<v Speaker 1>where do you think he end zone? Yeah? Dan, there

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>was a great story. Should look up the quotes from

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Gordon. He said that he had a meeting with

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:04.040
<v Speaker 1>management and the expressed frustration with the losing and the

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>way that the team has been playing. Yes, that's why

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:08.760
<v Speaker 1>they paid you the money. So you're the one that's

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:11.639
<v Speaker 1>supposed to do something about the losing. Imagine how frustrated

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 1>management must be that they're paying you all this money.

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's some meaning to have. You know that.

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.399
<v Speaker 1>I got a kick out of that. You know, the

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>problem with a lot of these players, you know, can

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they be the third best player on a championship level team?

0:25:25.200 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>That's to me what you're looking at. I don't think

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Gordons could be your second best player and you

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:32.600
<v Speaker 1>could be a championship team. Anthony Davis with Lebron Absolutely,

0:25:32.640 --> 0:25:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis when he was in New Orleans got out

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.639
<v Speaker 1>of the first round just one time. So Aaron Gordon,

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I would think the ceiling for him is the third

0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>best player in a championship team. And I'm not so

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:44.959
<v Speaker 1>sure where that fits right now. Frank Iaslo joining us

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>NETS studio host on Yes, He's got the NBA Radio

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.800
<v Speaker 1>this starting lineup and you can see him on around

0:25:51.800 --> 0:25:55.639
<v Speaker 1>the horn and pardon the interruption. Are the Clippers a contender?

0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Like it feels like we don't talk about them the

0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:00.719
<v Speaker 1>way we did, say a year ago, Yeah, I think

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you're right, And the way that everything ended in the

0:26:02.200 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 1>bubble for them, it's nobody's going to take them seriously

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:07.639
<v Speaker 1>until we see them as an organization finally get to

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 1>a conference final, which is something they've never done before.

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 1>So Paul George is playing well and everyone's saying, talk

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:16.639
<v Speaker 1>to me come playoff time. And then the guy that

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know, got off Scott free a little

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:21.560
<v Speaker 1>bit here is Kawhi Leonard. He was the one that

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 1>came in and had them move heaven and earth to

0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>bring in Paul George. And listen, he did play well

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>against Denver, didn't have a great game seven, But I

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:31.119
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's Lebron James and he doesn't have

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:33.879
<v Speaker 1>a great game seven. We're still talking about it today.

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So you have to put a lot on Kauiet And

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 1>here's a crazy thing, Dan, he could be a free agent.

0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 1>He could leave. Can you imagine everything they did to

0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:44.120
<v Speaker 1>get Kawhi Leonard and everything he wanted them to do,

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and then come the off season, whatever that is this year,

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:48.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe in August, he tells them, I'll see you later.

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going someplace else where. Does that lawsuit stand with

0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the guy who said he helped facilitate Kawhide to the

0:26:56.000 --> 0:27:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Clippers with Jerry West, I mean, I can't imagine it's

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go very far. Was Jerry West probably speaking to

0:27:05.080 --> 0:27:09.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody who's close friends with Kawhi Leonard? Absolutely? But did

0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>this person have anything to do with Kawhi going there?

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I highly doubt that. Dad. People were talking about this

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.119
<v Speaker 1>all throughout the season in Toronto. I thought that Toronto

0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 1>was going to be able to resign him, not only

0:27:19.080 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 1>when they went to the finals, but when they won

0:27:20.640 --> 0:27:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a championship. I figured you out, what, maybe he'll stay

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 1>one or two years, then he'll go out to the

0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Western Conference. But everyone was saying Clippers or Lakers all

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 1>throughout the year. So how much did this person have

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to do with it? Just because you had a couple

0:27:31.720 --> 0:27:34.159
<v Speaker 1>of conversations with Jerry West, I'm not buying that. What

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:37.920
<v Speaker 1>about the Nets with what they're doing well, James Harden

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 1>is doing with Kyrie out, Durant's still out. Did they

0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:45.679
<v Speaker 1>do anything at the trade deadline? Well, they could be

0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a team in the buyout market that's been talking about

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe JJ Reddick. You know, JaVale McGhee now was off

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the board. He got traded. Andre Drummond is still out there.

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 1>The one thing about Brooklyn if you look at James

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Harden what he has done so last night, they held

0:27:57.600 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>him out of the game and Steve Nash after the

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:01.919
<v Speaker 1>winning It's Washington the other night and Harden took a

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>knock to the head. He looked like he was out

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of it. His neck was hurt him. He started the

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>second half. I was surprised that he played in that game.

0:28:07.640 --> 0:28:10.640
<v Speaker 1>He played against Portland, but Nash had said, I'm concerned

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:12.560
<v Speaker 1>about the minutes. I don't know what to do about it.

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I think they held him out of the game last night.

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.120
<v Speaker 1>He was in uniform. To me, that's a player's way

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of saying, they're holding me out. He didn't feel like

0:28:19.880 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>he needed to get dressed up and wear some crazy

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 1>outfit that he's putting on a fashion show on the bench.

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 1>To me, he wanted to be out there. He's carried

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the team. Kevin Durant is their best player. The face

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of the team right now is James Harden. Do you

0:28:31.000 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 1>know that he's played thirty games. Kevin Durant in his

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Nets career has played nineteen. Kyrie's only played thirty one.

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 1>This guy missed the first thirteen games of the season

0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>with the Nets, and he's gonna end up playing more

0:28:42.560 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>games than both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irvan. But do

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>you think it's Harden's team? I do from this standpoint,

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>he's been the one carrying them. Now when they get

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant. And this is the thing about the trade

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>deadline today, Everyone's going to be trying to make moves.

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>We're assuming the Nets are going to get Kevin Durant back.

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 1>They're saying it's a hamstring injury, and I think now

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>they're just being extra cautious. Nobody is acquiring a player

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 1>like the Nets are going to get back and Kevin Durant.

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And Kevin Durant is invested. From this standpoint, he knows

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 1>there's one result that he can get. You either win

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 1>or it's been a bust. Doesn't mean you can't go

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 1>back next year and try to win it. There's a

0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of pressure on him. He is so happy with

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the way that Harden has played, and Hardenes is the

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:24.200
<v Speaker 1>same way hardened, forced his way out of Houston. He

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 1>knows what his reputation was. He knows there's only one

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 1>satisfactory result, and that's winning. That's why this team has

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>been all in. Charles Barkley said recently that Harden's best

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>player in the game and talked about, you know, just

0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:41.080
<v Speaker 1>what he does offensively, it's unlike anybody else, which I look.

0:29:41.120 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I agree with the offensive side of this. I don't

0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 1>think he's the best player in the game, but he's

0:29:45.320 --> 0:29:48.840
<v Speaker 1>on the short list there. He could have played back

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:52.840
<v Speaker 1>in the eighties or nineties with the physicality there. I'm

0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 1>just curious what Jordan and Kobe some of these players. Now,

0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Kobe had a little bit of this era, but yeah,

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, spread spread the floor, can't put your hands

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:05.880
<v Speaker 1>on anybody. They would have developed into better three point

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>shooters because your offense almost calls for that. I said earlier,

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that you know, Mike and Kobe average at

0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>least forty a game at the peak of their careers.

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>In today's NBA, they average high thirties. You know, back

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in then another era. What do you think you know

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>when you we love to compare eras there, But if

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I put Jordan in some of these other players in

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:32.320
<v Speaker 1>today's game, how much does their game change evolve and

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 1>what do you think they average? Well, you were living

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>through it when Michael Jordan was going was playing, and

0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you remember Doc Rivers about what six foot five Derek

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 1>carp or six foot three, both strong, and they're both

0:30:42.880 --> 0:30:45.760
<v Speaker 1>putting their hand right on Michael Jordan's hip and trying

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 1>to guide them to where they want to take them.

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:49.640
<v Speaker 1>You were allowed to be really physical with him and

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 1>he still is leading the league in scoring and he's

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 1>winning championships. Can you imagine him in today's NBA with

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:58.520
<v Speaker 1>how many times they call fouls? He would spend the

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:00.600
<v Speaker 1>entire game at the freaking and see. For me, it's

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit different. And I'm sure you're the same way.

0:31:02.880 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Michael Jordan's the best player of all time.

0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I just I never felt you were going to beat

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>him four times in a playoff series. So I think

0:31:10.160 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>if you put him in today's NBA, and if he

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to and he had the same drive that he

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 1>had back then, because today with the old management, who

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:17.360
<v Speaker 1>knows how he would be. But if he was willing

0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to play eighty games a year, eight to eighty two.

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna average thirty to thirty five points and he's

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna win MVP every year. Yeah. I remember Phil Jackson

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:30.000
<v Speaker 1>came in. He was promoting his book, and I said,

0:31:30.000 --> 0:31:32.480
<v Speaker 1>what would Mike average now? And he said he could

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 1>see him average forty forty five points. Again, but that's

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:39.600
<v Speaker 1>if you're coach. If Michael was playing for the Rockets

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 1>where Dantoni was his coach, then Mike could average whatever

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.280
<v Speaker 1>he wanted average, because that's what James was allowed to do. Yeah,

0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>you're one hundred percent right, And I think ever since

0:31:48.160 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Harden got to Brooklyn. If you look the other night

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 1>he had seventeen assists. He's the when he grabs a rebound,

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>much like Lebron, his head is up and he's looking

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to throw the ball ahead. So I get it. And Houston,

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:00.160
<v Speaker 1>they wanted him to play a certain way, and all

0:32:00.200 --> 0:32:01.880
<v Speaker 1>he did was dribble the ball for basically twenty two

0:32:01.880 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 1>seconds on the shot clock. Then he would take the

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:06.520
<v Speaker 1>step back three. But he's been an unbelievable leader on

0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:08.600
<v Speaker 1>this team. He's always looking to get guys involved in

0:32:08.720 --> 0:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>latent games. When he feels like he has to take over,

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 1>he puts his head down, he drives to the basket

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and he makes that floater and if the defense commits,

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 1>he flows, he throws the ball up for now you

0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:23.360
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing how he reads the games. He sees the

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:26.680
<v Speaker 1>plays developed like a split second before everybody else. It's

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the mark really of a brilliant player. And it's the

0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 1>one thing that is probably not highlighted with Harden because

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 1>we look at him as a gunner, a volume shooter.

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>His ability to and you say this, keep his head

0:32:38.840 --> 0:32:41.160
<v Speaker 1>up and see the floor and see a play before

0:32:41.200 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 1>it develops. That's rarely highlighted with James Harden. Yeah, and

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I think too if you look at Mike D'Antoni. He

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:51.640
<v Speaker 1>had in Phoenix Steve Nash, a two time MVP in

0:32:51.680 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the league, and I think Nash was the same obviously

0:32:53.840 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the same way. The difference is that Harden at any

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:59.479
<v Speaker 1>point could just dominate a game scoring. That's what makes

0:32:59.560 --> 0:33:01.800
<v Speaker 1>him so So if they get Kevin Durant back and

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Irving is going to be around and he's going

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:06.520
<v Speaker 1>to play in every game, it's gonna be so difficult

0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 1>for any team in the Eastern Conference to beat them. Now,

0:33:09.240 --> 0:33:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee with PJ. Tucker now that true Holiday is back.

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Look at the way that they've played. I think it's

0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 1>now eight in a row. So they'll be a tough team.

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia has done really well and beat and beat us,

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:21.479
<v Speaker 1>dominated the nets a couple of times this season, so

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 1>they'll present challenges. But if and I understand it's a

0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>seven foot you know, if that's Kevin Durant in his health.

0:33:27.640 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>But if he's healthy, I just don't know how you

0:33:29.560 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 1>can beat that team because with Durant and Durant and

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 1>hard and they're unstoppable. Then you throw Kyrie into the mix, who,

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 1>by the way, he has played really well the last

0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:39.920
<v Speaker 1>three weeks, he's just not with the team now the

0:33:40.200 --> 0:33:42.680
<v Speaker 1>last couple of games. I'll leave you with this, if

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks had won the championship last year, would the

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 1>MVP voters be looking at the Greek freak differently and

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:54.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe a three peat and being held against him? Hey,

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right. I always say that two about

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the voting. You know, the media votes for it, and

0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we all kind of like a story was like Karl

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Malone winning that one year when you probably could have

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:04.880
<v Speaker 1>given it to Michael Jordan, Like you could give it

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 1>to Michael Jordan every year, you can kind of give

0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it to Lebron. But remember though, we did vote based

0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:11.800
<v Speaker 1>on the season ending. I think it was March eleventh

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:14.040
<v Speaker 1>or March twelfth, whenever it was last year, and at

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 1>that point Janie had done more, the team had the

0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 1>best record in the league. From the bubble on, Lebron

0:34:18.719 --> 0:34:20.319
<v Speaker 1>was the best player. So Lebron was bringing up an

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 1>argument which really didn't hold water. We had voted in March.

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But I do think you're right, and I think sometimes

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a little voter fatigue with an MVP. That's why

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:30.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe this could be the year for a guy like

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Damian Lillard, maybe Nicolee Yokich, James Harden. So that's the

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:36.320
<v Speaker 1>thing too. The media might be thinking out of the

0:34:36.360 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 1>way that you handled your exit in you said, I

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:39.759
<v Speaker 1>don't like it either, But come on, now, the guy

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.640
<v Speaker 1>is certainly an MVP canate. But with mbiad out right

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>now and Lebron out, it's kind of wide open and

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the honest certainly is making a move right now. Is

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:54.360
<v Speaker 1>that len Bias's jersey behind? Yes, the great len Bias.

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>What's the reason behind me? I went I went to Maryland. Yeah,

0:34:57.960 --> 0:34:59.719
<v Speaker 1>I was a freshman with his last year. What a

0:34:59.719 --> 0:35:03.440
<v Speaker 1>scene year he had. They went down to Carolina. Carolina

0:35:03.480 --> 0:35:05.320
<v Speaker 1>had never lost, they were number one in the country.

0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 1>They had never lost a game yet in the deemed

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 1>home right. Yeah, and that's when len Bias went down

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>and that was that great play where he has he

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:15.520
<v Speaker 1>hits the three, then he steals the inbound from Kenny

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Smith and dunks the ball backward. I mean, come on, now,

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty good college time. How would you describe

0:35:21.040 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 1>him for those who didn't see len Bias, Well, I

0:35:23.680 --> 0:35:25.560
<v Speaker 1>think you know, if he asked Michael Jordan, he would

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna say it's on Michael Jordan's level, But

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 1>if he had played for the Boston Celtics when that

0:35:30.040 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 1>group still had a lot left, I don't think it's

0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:34.719
<v Speaker 1>much of a reach to say that he would have

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 1>been that they would won another championship. He went to

0:35:37.400 --> 0:35:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Dukes senior, so his senior they beat number one Carolina

0:35:40.960 --> 0:35:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and Carolina where you know they get every single call,

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Dean Smith standing up the whole time complaining about traveling.

0:35:45.920 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 1>They went down to Duke and I think he had

0:35:47.960 --> 0:35:51.800
<v Speaker 1>forty or forty one, and the Duke students were balanced

0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:54.239
<v Speaker 1>in they were doing this, so like people knew that

0:35:54.280 --> 0:35:57.800
<v Speaker 1>len Bias was a different kind of player. Frank, thanks

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 1>at Hinkle field House where we were recreating scene from Hoosiers.

0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Butler Bulldogs their field house there when they shot the

0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 1>closing scenes for Hoosiers and we did the one where

0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 1>they come out and they measure the basket. We had

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 1>our Butler jackets on. It was fun. I love that place,

0:36:58.800 --> 0:37:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, although during the day it's it's not a

0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:04.760
<v Speaker 1>great place, you know, during the day for shooters because

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the light comes in. They have these big windows there,

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:12.239
<v Speaker 1>but it has it has a really cozy, you know,

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:16.040
<v Speaker 1>fun feel to it. It's special. It's different. No, it's

0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>not like, you know, just a sterile environment that you

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>have in a lot of these arenas. But we had

0:37:21.680 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun back then. Well, I mean we

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:25.480
<v Speaker 1>still have fun, but that was that was a lot

0:37:25.480 --> 0:37:27.640
<v Speaker 1>of fun. If you're a fan of the movie Hoosiers.

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:30.879
<v Speaker 1>And we had like two hours to ourselves at Hinklefield House. Yeah,

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:33.759
<v Speaker 1>it felt like like like a time machine. Oh, it

0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 1>was awesome just shooting around. Yes time we got a

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:38.160
<v Speaker 1>chance to hang out with the dog on top of

0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the shooting around. It was just great all the way around. Yeah,

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the bulldog, Yeah, he was fun because he wanted to

0:37:44.040 --> 0:37:47.880
<v Speaker 1>play with the basketball. But that was good. That was

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:51.560
<v Speaker 1>that was a fun time. Rory McElroy teams up with Peka.

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you see where Rory hit the one of his

0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 1>drives yesterday in a swimming pool. Tough to play it

0:37:57.520 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 1>out of that, but that's a water hazard, but hit

0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:03.800
<v Speaker 1>it out of bounds. Rory McElroy teaming up with Peacock

0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:25.200
<v Speaker 1>bad shots, but I remember Francesco Manali. He topped one

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago at a tournament off the

0:38:27.920 --> 0:38:32.279
<v Speaker 1>first team. He did what we've done. He just tops it.

0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 1>He probably ended up with a par, but he just

0:38:35.200 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>topped it. Or you see where Jordan's speeth I think

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 1>nearly hit one of his playing partners, the guy who's

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>playing with yesterday. Those things don't happen with pros, at

0:38:47.239 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 1>least you don't think they do. And then when they do,

0:38:49.160 --> 0:38:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you're like, wait, what just happened there? And Rory hit

0:38:52.680 --> 0:38:55.280
<v Speaker 1>one that went out of bounds and landed in somebody's

0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 1>pool in Austin, Texas. Yes Club. The scariest story you've

0:38:59.000 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>ever told is having to tea off of those proams

0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:02.840
<v Speaker 1>with the people right in front of you that you

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:05.080
<v Speaker 1>could have hit, and they think you know what you're doing,

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and I would. I played in the Pebble Beach ProAm

0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:10.080
<v Speaker 1>twice and you get up on the fort All you

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:12.480
<v Speaker 1>want to do is a great tea shot on the

0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 1>first tea and a great put on the eighteenth hole.

0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:18.279
<v Speaker 1>That's it, because for the most part, the gallery is

0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:20.680
<v Speaker 1>probably not following you, but they're gonna watch you on

0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the first tea and they'll watch you coming up eighteen

0:39:23.800 --> 0:39:26.239
<v Speaker 1>and that's all all you want. But then you play

0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 1>in a ProAm out in Tahoe and I would be

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:31.840
<v Speaker 1>waving people back because I'm thinking, I don't know what

0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing out here. They think that, you know, they're

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:38.839
<v Speaker 1>following a tour player. This day in sports History, PAULI,

0:39:38.880 --> 0:39:41.280
<v Speaker 1>what do you have for me? Blank became the first

0:39:41.280 --> 0:39:43.760
<v Speaker 1>player in the NHL to score two hundred points a season.

0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 1>Dan Wayne grets This day in sports history. If it's

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 1>it's always Bobby Halloween Gretzky nineteen ninety seven. You're Hartford

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:55.399
<v Speaker 1>Whalers announced they would leave Connecticut following the nineteen ninety

0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:58.240
<v Speaker 1>six This is very touchy up in Bristol still following

0:39:58.280 --> 0:40:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the ninety six ninety seven season. I was there for

0:40:00.640 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 1>the last game of the Hartford Whalers. Burman never got

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:10.879
<v Speaker 1>over that, No, he did not. How We Schwab never

0:40:10.920 --> 0:40:14.360
<v Speaker 1>got over that. Stumped the Schwab they became the Carolina Hurricanes.

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:18.560
<v Speaker 1>Dan Yeah. And then just the following year it looked

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:20.680
<v Speaker 1>like a bright spot in Hartford that they thought they

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>were going to get the Patriots. The Patriots bait and

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:26.439
<v Speaker 1>switched the state of Connecticut. Do you get a better deal?

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Back home in Foxborough? And I remember people would ask

0:40:29.320 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 1>me all the time when I'd come home from work,

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:35.319
<v Speaker 1>do you think we're getting the Patriots? And I would say, no,

0:40:35.360 --> 0:40:37.879
<v Speaker 1>you're not getting the Patriots. And my wife said, can

0:40:37.920 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you stop saying that. I said, it's my job to

0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:44.800
<v Speaker 1>be honest, and she goes, but the disappointment on their faces.

0:40:45.680 --> 0:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, I can't lie. She said, well, just

0:40:47.760 --> 0:40:50.040
<v Speaker 1>say you don't know. I said, but I do know.

0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:54.360

0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:57.680
