19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: it has begun. Today is the officially we can now

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: start counting down to the end of the Yannis era

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee. Right we have big NBA story today. We

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: got Chris Paul coming up in a few minutes. But

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Jannis before a little bit of drama Intonight's game. The

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: story reported earlier today Nick that Yannis and his agent

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: are talking with the Bucks about Jannis's future.

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 3: Is he going to stop?

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: Don't put that out there, Ricky, Bobby, it's Adam Schefter

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: said the only team talking to in the off season

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: was the Knicks.

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 3: Football the football shifter he is.

31
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: He was quote tweeting Shams, Okay, it's the only team

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: on the day where hey, you know the the Yana's

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: drama continues to go. And it's not no surprise. This

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: is going along the path we thought it was. Jannis

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: threw it out there in the offseason. Hey, maybe I

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: should be looking someplace else, but okay, buy in for

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of this year. Okay, fine, Bucks aren't going anywhere.

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: Now.

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: Today Janniss it breaks that he and his agent talking

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: to the Bucks about what the best future is. Is

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: it in Milwaukee? Is it someplace else? And then Adam

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Schefter comes in over the top with the report, quoting

43
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Shams Trania that the Knicks were the only team that

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Janni's wanted to reach out to in the off season.

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: So again we are where we were in August. July June,

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: right after the season ended, that it looked like Jannis

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: wants out, Jannis wants to go to the Knicks, and

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: I am sure unrelated Mike Carmen on the day this

49
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: rumor breaks, I'm sure unrelated to it. Karl Anthony Towns

50
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 1: goes for thirty five and eighteen, completely unrelated to Well, wait,

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: Yiannis could be coming here to take my job and

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: I can get traded in Milwaukee. I better put up

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: some numbers here thirty five and eighteen.

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 4: We all find our motivations in life and our jobs,

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: our relationships, familial and friendships.

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: There's times where you got to step it up.

57
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: And for Cat they also liked the Knicks ran back

58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: into MSG yelling sanctuary SEXTU. Why did I teach him

59
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: that word sanctuary? Because they play really well at home.

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: So I mean it really was just an accelerated version

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: of what the Knicks normally are. But yes, the idea

62
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: that this has been restarted. Look and the honest fan

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: the flames. What was it about two weeks ago when

64
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: he was openly lamenting the state of affairs and the

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: losing streak they were on and all of those things

66
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: where he was starting to show a little salty side

67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: of himself. Right, it wasn't normal Smiley happy, honest. Even

68
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 4: in the past when they've had little downturns, it's always

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: been the you know, I'm blessed to be here, this

70
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: life is great.

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: Whatever. He started showing some cracks of Hey, losing was

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: starting to wear on him.

73
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, look, they won the championship and they haven't

74
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: gotten close since, and they're not getting there. They're clearly not.

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: They made moves, they tried to do everything they can

76
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: around Yiann. It's it's not working. And so Jannis wants

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: out now, Right.

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 4: You make a big move and a guy gets hurt,

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 4: a guy who didn't necessarily want to be there anyway.

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: But that's a whole other question. So here's the thing.

81
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Right again, I don't think it's any coincidence Karl Anthony

82
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Towns goes for thirty five and eighteen.

83
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: On that night. I don't want to get traded to Milukie.

84
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: But think about this for a second, right, and again,

85
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's any coincidence with this part

86
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: of it as well. The Knicks lose last night to

87
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: the Celtics, right, and you know they thump the Hornets tonight,

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Larry Johnson with a bad game, they shut down Muggsy Bogues.

89
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: Kendall Gill's shot was just all yeah, you know, well

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: he's coming up back to backs.

91
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah it happens.

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Kendall Gill was pretty good. But on on on the

93
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: night they lose last night, and what happens to the Knicks.

94
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson has a bad game. He was terrible and

95
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: the Knicks lose. The one thing you can say about

96
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: for you know, with styles with Tibbs and Mike Brown,

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: and who's playing better under Mike Brown, who's regressing under

98
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Mike Brown. You know, there's a lot of good, there's

99
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: also bad with the ni So are the Knicks too old?

100
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: But are the Knicks deeper than they have been? And

101
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: maybe they can withstand things. They're unbeatable at home. There's

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: good and bad. But the one thing you can't you

103
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: can't deny is that the mark of a great team

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: is when your star player is out or plays bad,

105
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: you can win a game. If Jalen Brunson's out or

106
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: he has a bad game, the Knicks can't win all right.

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Town's is not putting the team on his

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: shoulders by himself, and you're gonna get Look, guys like

109
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Clarkson will come in and get a little bit

110
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: more minutes and got and you know, you will get

111
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more production obviously, because someone's got to

112
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: come up make up for Brunson's you know, missing twenty

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: seven or thirty points in a game. But I don't

114
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: think there's also any coincidence that last night here's the

115
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Knicks and they lose and Brunson plays poorly. And the

116
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: one thing you can't get pack when Brunson plays poorly,

117
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: the Knicks can't win. So you get to the playoffs,

118
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: you will. You're talking of this being a finals type

119
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: season for you, because hey, if the only team you're

120
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: really worried about right now are the Pistons, Okay, man,

121
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: let's go. This is our year. Hey, you gotta get

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: somebody else in there that you know, when it's not

123
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Brunson's night, this guy can carry you, or he can

124
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: carry you on knights, and brusn nut Bunson enough to

125
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: worry about carrying him. So you had the coincidence of

126
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns. They also think this story could have

127
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: broken any day but after the Knicks lose yesterday and

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Brunson's bed and they see their warts out there against

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: a bad Celtics team playing without anybody Jalen Brown in

130
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: a big night. But still this is not your this

131
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: is not your last year Celtics before the Jason Tatum injury,

132
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: the Celtics are a bad team. And despite that, you saw, oh,

133
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: we really still can't win if Brunson doesn't have a

134
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: good game. And now today, hey, guess what. Guess what, guys,

135
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: we're talking to the Bucks, his agent and Yan we're

136
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: talking Bucks about our future. And here's Adam Schefter and

137
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: Sham's going, hey, the Knicks are the only team that

138
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: he wanted to talk to in the offseason. I don't

139
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: think any of these things are unrelated that today, because

140
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 1: what are the odds that happens today, After the Knicks

141
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: get that sober reminder yesterday of if Brunson doesn't play well,

142
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: they can't win the way this team is, and they'll

143
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: try to take them away in the playoffs. The teams

144
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: are younger, more athletic, they will try to say, listen,

145
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: we'll take Brunson away and we'll yeah, good luck. Carl

146
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns trick. He's not gonna beat us, and Nobody's

147
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: not gonna beat us. Josh Heart's not gonna beat us.

148
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: Bridges isn't gonna beat us. This is what we need

149
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: to do. None of this is unrelated.

150
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: Well, Bridges, I mean still had what thirty five Kat

151
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: went for twenty nine last night, I mean not exactly

152
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 4: bomb efforts, and Brunson had eleven assists against his three turnovers.

153
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: That also, you know, take some umbrage. If I'm a

154
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: Boston fan right now, I'd tell them to call in,

155
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: but we'll just send him to your twitter at how

156
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: about a Frescanstead.

157
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: They're only two games back of you. Okay, so so

158
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: they're not that bad. Come on, stay, come on. You

159
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: still have White, you still have Jalen Brown. You still

160
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: got two guys that can fill it up and some

161
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: some bench depth, Simons off the bench, et cetera. You

162
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: had a couple of your guys had really great game,

163
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: like Eminem says in eight Mile they were living up here.

164
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Now they gotta start living down here. That's where that's

165
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: where it goes.

166
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: But sometimes you gotta slug it out, and maybe you're

167
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 4: not as good as you thought.

168
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: You were exactly, which is why I always said from

169
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, either we're gonna be good

170
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: and it's great, or we're gonna underachieve and we're getting

171
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: Giannis at the.

172
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: No you've been trying to No, there's no question about it.

173
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: That's why I'm happy, man about all the way. Whatever

174
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: however it goes, Man, I will.

175
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: I know that that, Hey, Karl, Anthony, Towns and O

176
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: gianno noob, make them make the money work are probably

177
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: gonna be the guys to go.

178
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 3: So okay, all right to get Joannis. All right, that's

179
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: how it's gonna go.

180
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: Two huge piece yo, honest. Yeah, between you, he's yelling Lakers.

181
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: He's sending me that g the Lakers. All the pieces

182
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: you would trade for Yannis you can't trade. And you

183
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: got to keep Scotty pipping Austin Reeves.

184
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: You can't. You can't trade Austin. Dude. Look at look

185
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: how good you are to give it out.

186
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: How about this Lebron for Yannis right now, straight up,

187
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: Lebron right now, Lebron, Lebron and Brony for you.

188
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 3: No, they can't have Bronnie. But that's that's sweet.

189
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: The bridge, that's the sweetener Lebron and Browny and you

190
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: get your honest and Bryce will give you the rights

191
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: to Bryce as well. Whenever that Happen'll give your brother immediately.

192
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 4: Anybody associated with basketball operations in Milwaukee is fired. Look,

193
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 4: and never get to work anywhere near a basketball court.

194
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 4: They can't paint the lines on an outdoor court after

195
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: making a deal like that.

196
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

197
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: Look, nothing is changed with Giannis right that. This is

198
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: where we knew in the off season. He was getting antsy.

199
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Right when you're thirty, you want a championship in Milwaukee?

200
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: All right, what's my th? I want to win again?

201
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: A right, I want to win again. It's been great,

202
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: it's been a great run here, but starting to get

203
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of happy feet because the team's not

204
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: getting better. You we changed, we changed personnel, didn't work.

205
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Brought in Damian Lillard didn't work, right, brought in Doc

206
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: Rivers didn't work.

207
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: No, but it's not my fault.

208
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just natural that Giannis is gonna say, Okay,

209
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: I need to get somewhere else. I need to get

210
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: somewhere else because I want to win the back half

211
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: of my career. It'll be a shorter back half his career,

212
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: being a bigger guy like that, He's not going to

213
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: be playing this level when he's thirty eight years old.

214
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: So you're looking at Gianni's the next three to four years,

215
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: hopefully is when you still have him as one of

216
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: the top five players in the game. So yeah, it's

217
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: only natural that this is how it goes. And by

218
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: the All Star break he'll be dealt right and and

219
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: and the Knicks I'm sure will be the first team. Say,

220
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: do you really feel how good we are about this team?

221
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no there's no there's no reason that

222
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: the Knicks couldn't make this happen. Considering it seems like

223
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: they're Yannis's preferred destination and they have the money, and

224
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: they have the talent, they have the players to make

225
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: it work. So what the players are going to be

226
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: what it winds up being that that's going to be

227
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: the bit. I think it's going to be towns in Anonobe,

228
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: some kind of situation like that. But by the All

229
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Star break, Yannis will be on another team. Now things

230
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: got changed a little bit tonight with Giannis and when

231
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: he might wind up playing again, because this is what

232
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: happened in the middle of the Bucks game tonight, and

233
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: who knows when we see Yannis next the ranch.

234
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: And that's the key. Janis. Janis is down.

235
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: Lisa doesn't look good.

236
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: It does not look good. He ye must Jim surely

237
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: just moments ago, walking on his own power back to

238
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: the locker room with the medical staff following him. You

239
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: know what this means. What does this mean, Frosber?

240
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: It means we don't have to give up Reefs anymore.

241
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: He's a diminished asset. That was just ruey Hachimura.

242
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 6: Oh they can have Lebron straight up.

243
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: Yannis leaves the game. A Bucks radio network on the call.

244
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Yannis leaves the game with a strained right calf. Now

245
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: it looked awful because it was a non contact injury.

246
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Makes a great jump pass for a hoop, and trying

247
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: to get back on defense, he just goes to the

248
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: ground and you're thinking, oh, my goodness, Achilles, and look

249
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: we've seen right calfs turn into full blown Achilles. But

250
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: right now, the good news is that it is a

251
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: calf's right calf strain. Gianna's pounding the floor a little bit,

252
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: you know, gets off the court. So you start to

253
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: wonder and you think about you think about this, You

254
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: really want to talk about how close this trade is.

255
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: Have we maybe seen Giannis Playley's last game for the Bucks,

256
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: like at this point, now does he does he go

257
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: crazy to come back or does he sit and say,

258
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: you know what, we're pursuing a trade. This is not

259
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: working out. I'm not gonna go back out there get

260
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: hurt and then all of a sudden, I'm untradeable and

261
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking at next season. I'm gonna sit now until

262
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: we figure this out. Right, And because this is who knows, right,

263
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: calf strain a week, two weeks, whatever, it's gonna wind

264
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: up being. You wonder if, okay, well you're getting to

265
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: the holidays and the All Star Breaks in a couple

266
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: of months. You wonder if the injury has hastened that

267
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: timeline a little bit. Well, okay, he's healthy, but he's

268
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: sitting out for a little while. It's gonna take a

269
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: little bit for the Bucks to figure out this deal.

270
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be suddenly overnight where they're gonna say, Okay,

271
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: here's the trade they're gonna take. They're gonna talk to

272
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: a lot of different teams. They're going to try to

273
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: bleed everything they can. They're under no rush to make

274
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: this move, especially now that Giannis is hurt.

275
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't be.

276
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Surprised if we had an extended time off for Giannis.

277
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: And really, you think about this could be the last

278
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: game he plays for the Bucks. If this trade is

279
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna happen, if they're going forward, why would you want

280
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: him back out The teams are going to tell the Bucks,

281
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: don't put him back out there.

282
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: We're trading.

283
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: You're telling us he's good, like we're not gonna see medicals,

284
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: but you're telling us he's okay. Okay, don't put him

285
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: back out there, because if we're going to make a

286
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: trade for him, yeah, we want to make sure we

287
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: get him in our building, figure things out. We get

288
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: to look at him, don't put don't play him. I mean, really,

289
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: this could have been his last game.

290
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: Oh it might be ready for a December twenty fifth

291
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 4: battle against the Cavaliers at the Garden.

292
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 3: How about that. Oh yeah, I'm okay with that. Yeah,

293
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: I'm okay.

294
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 4: But I mean we go through Milwaukee's history, right, the championships,

295
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 4: the outlier, a lot of first round or Semi five,

296
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 4: you know, semi's exits, three straight first round exits. But

297
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: this injury, uh just one that as you said, we've

298
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 4: seen a lot of these development into bigger injuries. We've

299
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: also seen a proliferation of calf strains uh this year

300
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 4: and off that that's very frequently diagnosed. It's the torn

301
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: labor of Major League Baseball from several years back. It's

302
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 4: like we're learning all about the human body. Now we

303
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: know what a calf is.

304
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 6: Uh.

305
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: So we've got that, but how it portends to other injuries, Yeah,

306
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: it's it's tough to put them back out there. And

307
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: as we know in the NBA, if you declare where

308
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: you want to go, you're getting there. It's just a

309
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: matter of when and how and what's the asking price.

310
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: Right with the dopey rule in the NBA, you got

311
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: to make all the salaries match up and keep everybody happy.

312
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: But there's no bidding war like this. This is like

313
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: when Ad got traded to the Lakers, like there was

314
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: there was no reason to give them anything because.

315
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: They can screw it up.

316
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Look, Donovan Mitchell wanted to be a nick and Danny

317
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: Ain said nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, no.

318
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: Not doing it.

319
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: So Donovan Mitchell comes up the lot because remember that

320
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: story as it can still.

321
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: Screw it up.

322
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Man, it's the nixt that nothing is for certain. They

323
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: could still screw it up. You can still see that.

324
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: Don't worry, but think about that. Tonight could have been

325
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: the last game Yann has played for the button right

326
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: with everything going forward in the drama and the injury

327
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: and the trade. Uh, maybe he does. Maybe this is

328
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: it for him.

329
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: Who did he give his shoes to?

330
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: I want those shoes to the guy on Detroit that

331
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: took the basketball from him when he wanted it for

332

00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: Buy one. Look at the brooing. No, no, we can't

359
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 3: lose it. We have to we have to do something.

360
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: Let's go win this game for Yannis. Maybe you'll stay.

361
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: I need these minutes. Look how good I am I

362
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: can replace this guy. He's already out of here. Yeah,

363
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: he's already moved. He's ice skating next to Rockefella Center.

364
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: Let's go give me the ball, give me the ball. Hey,

365
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of shots out there. I'm

366
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: ready for him, just like I could do it, coach.

367
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: I can do it. Just let me go, let me go.

368
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: Give it to me.

369
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: Uh so again again, this is the worst thing for

370
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: the next because now maybe Jannis is thinking, oh, look

371
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: at them go up with a win against the best

372
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: team in the Eastern team with the best record in

373
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, and oh, maybe we are going to

374
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: have a great year. No, I want to stay. Well,

375
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. It's gonna ruin him going to the.

376
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 4: Next Sometimes you play up to the competition, challenge accepted.

377
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: And maybe Jannis is a little inspired coming out of this, saying,

378
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: look at my guys, Look at my guys.

379
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: Come on, Pistons, Come on. All I needed was to

380
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 3: be moderately broken for a day. Look at me.

381
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: Come on, Kate Cunningham, let's see a three ball here.

382
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Come on, guys. It's never rooted for the Pistons.

383
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 4: So are you love the Piston Let's get three years

384
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: ago you predicted greatness for them. That didn't transpire. They

385
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 4: got the Lions almost there. But now they hate you

386
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 4: there too. Uh you jump back on the Pistons and

387
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 4: now you're looking for Kate Cunningham to give you greatness

388
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 4: one more time.

389
00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: Oh man, uh.

390
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: So again a little bit less than a half minute

391
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: left to go. Bucks lead it by one, and he's

392
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: everybody saw the fans standing up there, all wearing Gianni's jerseys.

393
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: It's just so awkward right now, this is so awkward,

394
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: but we have to play the day coming your way

395
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,960

402
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: when you know that if Jannis gets traded to your team,

403
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: you're likely the guy going the other way, you want

404
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: to make sure I have a big game on that day,

405
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: and Karl Anthony Towns did, so he gets to be

406
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,360

415
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: The runner ups. Here's a team that isn't getting you

416
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: honest yet. And here's the play of the day, Towns.

417

Speaker 2: Looking reverse highlight.

418
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,560

Speaker 3: It's a sixteen point Nick Glue.

423
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 4: Hey all right, there's a couple of great games for

Speaker 4: him back to back though oh yeah, yeah, I mean

425
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 4: personally one hundred percent, because you know, this has been

426
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: swirling for months like this is not a new revelation now,

427
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 4: it's it's back in the news and back in the

428
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 4: churn of the twenty four hour news cycle.

429
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 3: But you know, for Cat, I gotta.

430
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 4: Imagine his entire offseason, he's been thinking about where his

431
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 4: next next digs would be.

432
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: Is he done how shopping? I don't know.

433
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: Do you think that he finished the game and he

434
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: saw that Giannis had a cash and he goes.

435
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: I didn't need to do that Tonightey, I'm exhausted my

436
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 3: ass off against Charlotte's. That's the only guy.

437
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: You're trading for to replace me. Guys should have taken

438
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: some time off tonight. Why did I Why did I

439
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: really extend myself here? I didn't need to do that tonight. Man. Fine, whatever,

440
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: man ain't gonna trade me anyway. I'm The're gonna find

441
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: a way out. That's what's gonna happen.

442
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: Uh.

443
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: So again, yes, all the drama with Yannis potentially uh

444
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: pursuing a trade. He and his agent talking to the

445
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: Bucks about his future. Now the Yannis injury is out there,

446
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: you know, with a non contact calf strain. Tonight he

447
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: goes down right now it is a calf strain, uh,

448
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: not anything worse. So hopefully things are okay for y

449
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: honest and again it was it wasn't a full blown

450
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: Achilles you would.

451
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 3: Have had that by now. It was a cat.

452
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: Now calf strains turned into other things. Not to say

453
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: this will, but it has become an issue.

454
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: So I will say.

455
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: This before we get to Chris Paul. This story really

456
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: hot and heavy today. Yannis, the trades we have to

457
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: understand that this is now what's going to happen with

458
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: the honest being injured. It's not gonna be something that

459
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: happens quickly. It will happen over the course of the

460
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: next month or so. Think this is gonna be a

461
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: slow burn because you want to make sure he's healthy

462
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: when you trade him again. We talked about teams not

463
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: wanting him to get hurt. I wonder if he's played

464
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: his last game for the Bucks while they figure this out.

465
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: This is not a trade that's gonna go down tomorrow

466
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: or this weekend, probably not even by maybe Christmas Day.

467
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: But I would say this is gonna be at least

468
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: a month until we figure out a trade. Giannis gets

469
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: a clean bill of health, he's back playing, he is okay,

470
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: then you'll see teams okay, now trade. So this is

471
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a great drama. But I don't know that

472
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of movement on this for

473
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: at least until probably the beginning of the Well we'll.

474
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 4: Be curious to watch is particularly with your Dix. How

475
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: much well, for lack of a better term, load management

476
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 4: comes into play here over these next couple of weeks.

477
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 4: For Ogianinobi and Karl Anthony Towns. Right, if this is

478
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 4: gonna drag out, as you say, like, let's put the

479
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 4: other line to run with it is Well, if those

480
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 4: guys are gonna be part of the deal, you can't

481
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 4: exactly expose them to thirty eight minutes.

482
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: And I know, Dan, you g just got cleared for contact.

483
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: So when he comes, hopefully soon he is, he is back.

484
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: But uh no, I think if you're a Karl, you

485
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: got to make the bucks feel good about the guy

486
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: that's going to be the centerpiece of the trade. Sell

487
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: sell Jalen, will we know you're the guy? Okay, just

488
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: between you, you're the guy. But really set up set

489
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: up cat right, because we got to be able to

490
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: Is there a cat tracker now going on with the

491
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: radio stations in the Greater mill Atwalk area. Yeah, they're

492
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: they're going, they're getting away from holiday programming, music programming,

493
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: going right to the car all Karl Anthony Snott nora

494
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: At It's how did he operate in the low post?

495
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Uh So again, that's how it's gonna go next. That's

496
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: how it's gonna go for you. Honest, it's gonna be

497
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: you know a few weeks before. I think that the

498
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: injury throwing a big, big question mark into all of

499
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: these plans because now there is gonna be okay, how

500
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: healthy is he? How long will he be out? So

501
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: there is going to be that part of it now.

502
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: The other big drama today, Chris Paul is no longer

503
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: Remember the Los Angeles Clippers. Pretty much when you and

504
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: I got off the air last night, Chris Paul was

505
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: told his services were no longer About that yea from

506
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: the team right GM Lawrence Frank saying earlier today that

507
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: they have decided to part ways with Chris Paul. And

508
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: in the ensuing hours we found out the relations with

509
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: Chris Paul and the coaching staff were in great Apparently

510
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: he and ty Lou were not speaking. Chris Paul very

511
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: outspoken with the Clippers being terrible, probably doing his old

512
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, I know more than anything else than everybody

513
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: else about this team and going forward, because that's what

514
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: Chris Paul's kind of been, and his holding the coaches,

515
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: holding the players accountable. I can understand from the Clippers

516
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: saying yeah, we can't have that here, not from a

517
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: guy who is not our starting point guard who's playing

518
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: just a few minutes a game that we're hoping that

519
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: we're here because you want to have a great final

520
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: season in the NBA. Right, We're thoughting that this is

521
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna be great pr for both of us, and you

522
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: can come back to the place where you had the

523
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: best success of your career and it's gonna be great

524
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: for all of us. Instead, you're barely playing and you're

525
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: a little bit too much of a voice for someone

526
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: who is going anti where we are as far as

527
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: the front office goes. So because of this, Chris Paul

528
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: is out with the Clippers.

529
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 3: Now.

530
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: The big takeaway from this because you've heard a lot

531
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: of different things to that, and we always want to

532
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: give you something a little bit different the.

533
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: Way you've heard all day. Chris Paul.

534
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: It is not surprising to me that this is how

535
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: his career is ending because Paul, for his whole career

536
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: has been someone who's done it his way for good

537
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: and bad. Right, He's done great things players association, He's

538
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: done wonderful things teammates. You know, they all love playing

539
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: with him, standing up for teammates. He's someone that wants

540
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: to win again, trying to hold the players accountable during

541
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: a season. He's in a lot of good things. He's

542
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: also in a lot of things that greats on your teammates,

543
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: the greats on teams. His ability with the Clippers to

544
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: think that I'm gonna be able to do whatever I

545
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: want to. I'm going to try to shoot from the

546
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: other side of half court and get a foul called

547
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: on me. I'm gonna get shooting foul in the playoffs,

548
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: which helps send them home a big year where they

549
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: could have got to the Western Conference finals. Like Chris

550
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: Paul has always been that guy that, yes, I do

551
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: it my way, and sometimes that's great and you can

552
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: look in the mirror and say, you know what, at

553
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Yeah, I did it my

554
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: way and it was awesome and I had this career.

555
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: But the flip side of it is it doesn't always

556
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: help you. It doesn't always help you, and you wind

557
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: up running the risk of upsetting the teams you play

558
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: for upsetting some of your teammates, and this is how

559
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: it ends for you being waved in the middle of

560
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: the night by by the Clippers and people wake up

561
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: going it happened at three o'clock. In them, they decided

562
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: at three o'clock was there a big of you know,

563
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: late night meeting in a hotel that Chris Paul is saying,

564
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: we can't do this, and Lawrence, Frank and Tyler were saying,

565
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: yes we can.

566
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: No, we can't.

567
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: Well, your cut, that's it. We're letting you go like

568
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: that's the That's the downside of doing it your way

569
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: is that it doesn't always go the way you think

570
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. And you have to live with that too.

571
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: That's a look in the mirror moment too. And I

572
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: see that because I always that's how I want. I

573
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: want things in my life, in my career my way,

574
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: and I get that, and I'm very comfortable when I

575
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: think of things that have gone on in my career

576
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: and things that are hopefully coming or whatever it's gonna be, that, Yeah,

577
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing it my way and I'm doing what I

578
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: want to do. I'm doing it this way. Now, is

579
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: that always the best thing for me? No, it's not,

580
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: because I have to understand that that when I want

581
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: things my way, there's certain things that are going to

582
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: fall by the wayside, or certain opportunities that I'm not

583
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: gonna get because I want to do things my way.

584
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: So I understand Chris Paul's thing of it. I understand

585
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: this part of it, but that's the risk you run,

586
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: and especially at the end where you know this is

587
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: your last year and it's awesome that you want to

588
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: hold your team to a higher standard, but dude, your

589
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: team is terrible. Man, the team has beat We knew

590
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: the team was gonna be bad. We're gonna keep giving

591
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: money to guys you're thirty five and forty years old.

592
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: That's I told you in the preseason.

593
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 4: It's not gonna works when the Clipper We're gonna keep

594
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: giving money to Kawhi Leonard and James Harden.

595
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: Keep doing this and keep doing this and keep doing this.

596
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Right, I get that, But you know it's awesome that

597
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: you're like that, but also understand and this is the end,

598
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: and is this how you want to go out?

599
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: You wanted to go out.

600
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: I'm back with the Clippers for my final year and

601
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be a celebration of me for basketball.

602
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: And instead now it's an embarrassment getting waived in the

603
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: middle of the night. And now who knows. I gotta

604
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: think I'd like to think a team is gonna pick

605
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: them up to play, but they maybe they don't. And

606
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: this is how it ends for Chris Paul, who alread

607
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: announced this was his last year. So so that's the

608
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: good and bad about doing things your way is that

609
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: you have to understand that, Okay, sometimes it's gonna be

610
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: great and sometimes it could be bad. And this was

611
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: really bad the way it ended.

612
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, do you look at the opportunity to

613
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 4: go back to you know where it reclaim some glory

614
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 4: joining there by the way, the Clippers are only paying

615
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 4: so much of Kawhi's salary through basketball means just so

616
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 4: you know, like the rest of it is off the

617
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 4: books for tree planting or whatever the case may be.

618
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 4: But when you make the decisions personal professional, right, you

619
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 4: assume some level of risk, some level of trust, all

620
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 4: of those things. And yeah, there's plenty that you have

621
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 4: no control of. Nor do you can you control how

622
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 4: your message is received if you just read it in

623
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 4: cold ard facts like trying to hold people accountable, well

624
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 4: they stink. So yeah, if it's buttoning up the details

625
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: and playing a little tighter defense or running your sets

626
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 4: a little bit better, I mean, what's the problem with that.

627
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously we're not in the building. They decided

628
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 4: it was a bridge too far, and it wasn't going

629
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 4: to change anything for a guy at fourteen minutes a game,

630
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 4: and who's not a difference maker, right, He's just filling

631
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 4: out stat sheets at this point. And that goes back

632
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 4: to the age old sports or general business. Wherever you

633
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 4: work out there, you know this. The star gets a

634
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: little more latitude, right, the one who's got the eye

635
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: of the bosses gets a little more latitude with how

636
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: they approach things, maybe a little more creature comforts.

637
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: Whatever.

638
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,880

640
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,160

642
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: a job done.

643
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 4: Could have been handled better? Yeah, I mean it's a

644
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 4: bit unseemly. Could they have waited until they came back

645
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 4: to Los Angeles and then had a little Hey, let's

646
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: just go do this in front of some microphones and

647
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,080

663
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 5: if everyone knows Chris Paul's attitude, then why did you

664
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,960

00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 3: All right, so we were right there. Christopher Lee as.

776
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 4: Is always first my friend Jordan, no matter what rankings

777
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 4: you want, Chris, no matter which world or universe.

778
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: Christopher Wizard, Christopher Lee is a wizard greater than Jordan.

779
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: He was still at twenty point a game score. Oh,

780
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: if you put Chris Christopher Leon on the Wizards and

781
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: he made him a basketball play, he's at thirty point

782
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: a game guy. Easy see how tall he is. He's

783
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: a tall dude.

784
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: Man, he'd be fine, just dump into the low post.

785
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 3: Going to work.

786
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: So another day, another great dollop of drama involving everybody's

787
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: favorite head coach Lane Kiffin. Yeah, it was last night

788
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: we brought you the story that a couple of players

789
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: on Ole miss said that, yeah Kiffin's account that he

790
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: wanted to stay and they told him no, uh what

791
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: he the big the big message that he put out

792
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: when he left, saying, I prayed on it, I wanted

793
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: to stay, but the ad wouldn't let me. You know,

794
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: all the kids wanted me to stay and coach the team.

795
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: A couple of players said, yeah, that's not how that

796
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: meeting went down. That's not what anybody said. And today

797
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: you had the athletic director also dispute Lane Kiffin's version

798
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: of events, as Keith Carter won on a podcast today,

799
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 1: super Talk Mississippi, and said that Super Talk he says

800
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: a lot of things publicly, I'm not sure totally accurate.

801
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 3: He's just missing remembered.

802
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: It's just not totally accurate that that the players said

803
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: they wanted Lane to stay. The only thing he was

804
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: able to confirm was that Sunday was the day they

805
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: figured you are not going to coach the team anymore,

806
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: right like that. That's that's the only part that Lane

807
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: Kiffin said that was able to be confirmed by the ad.

808
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: Everything else has shades of gray. It was Sunday. Yeah,

809
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: it was Sunday. It was after midnight, yeah, Sunday, right,

810
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: I got Sunday. Right.

811
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 3: So now here's another.

812
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 1: Now this is the ad saying, hey, the lane Kiffin

813
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 1: process of events not quote totally accurate. So now in

814
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours, you had the A D

815
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: and you've had two players say not how the meeting went,

816
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: nobody basically saying nobody asked him to stay, nobody wanted

817
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: to stay. Uh and lane Kiffin put this out on

818
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: a statement anyway. I always it's always weird that that

819
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: that you can have somebody say something. I don't know

820
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: why you would put out a statement when you know

821
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: it can be so easily disproven, Like, I don't know

822
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: why you would say, yeah, the players wanted me to stay.

823
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: When you say that, and you know what's gonna happen.

824
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: Everyone's got a Twitter account, someone's gonna say something that's

825
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: an awful lot of people, right.

826
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 4: It's like conspiracy theories, like as soon as there's more

827
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: than one other person, it's a problem.

828
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: That's an easy thing to be disproven. It's you in

829
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: a room of one hundred and twenty guys. If you

830
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: have a different version of events than the other one

831
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty guys, that's gonna get out right.

832
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 3: That's good.

833
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: It's not like people are gonna believe Lane. I believe

834
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin over all the other players. No, no, no, no, no,

835
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. He's bounced around a bunch. There's

836
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: already some incredibility lapses in his professional career that folks

837
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be like, yeah, no, outside with the kids,

838
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: especially as they all take to Twitter one after the next. Look,

839
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 1: my pr advice to him would be, dude, don't say

840
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: something that can be disproven so easy. That's gonna wind

841
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: up being embarrassing for you, because that's what this is.

842
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 3: Now. It's embarrassing for Lane Kiffin.

843
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 7: Right.

844
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: But this reinforces what we talked about late in the

845
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: show last night that there's not been a more hated

846
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: football coach NFL college football the last twenty five years

847
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: than Lane Kiffin. Now, you can talk about some some

848
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: people who are hat like you want Brian Kelly at LSU. Okay,

849
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: all right, we went down there. There's a bunchy Brian

850
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: Kelly LSU. Okay, But nobody has the sheer number of

851
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: teams that Lane Kiffen has hate him. This is where

852
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: like if two people break up, right, and you get

853
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: a story from one X that, oh, yeah, yeah, I

854
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: knew that was gonna happen because so and so he

855
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 1: likes to do this, and he'd you know, blah blah

856
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: blah blah. You could go, Okay, well who knows, because

857
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: that's what he said. She said kind of thing.

858
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 3: But this is where, hey, you.

859
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: Got seven x'es saying, yeah, man can't stand this guy

860
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: because he always does stuff like this, Right, they hate

861
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: it with the Raiders, they hate him. They hate him

862
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, they hate him at USC, they hate him

863
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: at Alabama, they him at Florida Atlantic. Now they hate

864
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: him at all miss and they all hate hate him.

865
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: They just not like, hey, we brought the guy in

866
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: as a coach. It didn't work out. It's too bad.

867
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: He's stunk, but we're moving on. No, this is absolute

868
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: hatred that these teams have for him because of how

869
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: his tenure went and how he left. That's why there's

870
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: nobody more hated him, because no teams hate any coach

871
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 1: more than Lane Kiffin is hated by all of these teams.

872
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 4: Well, then the Seinfeld universe, you would just be called

873
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: a bad breaker rupper. And it's just the the end game,

874
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 4: even if it's inevitable, and it was right Lank, if

875
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 4: it was there a while, he was moving to another

876
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 4: school eventually, right, or back to the NFL. Right, He's

877
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 4: not staying at Old Miss for the rest of his career.

878
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 4: He's a young man, right, That's the thing to remember

879
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 4: in all this, Like whatever we get into his coach,

880
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: he's like, this is a guy, this is even a

881
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 4: guy that's like sixty eight and he, you know, deciding

882
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 4: his football mortality. He's just deciding what's the next best

883
00:39:59,200 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 4: jump up?

884
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: Right?

885
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: Is it a mini step or is he taking a leap?

886
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: And so as soon as this started to swirl and

887
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: become a thing, as in season, we had what became

888
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: a very odd set of circumstances with some heavyweight jobs

889
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: that are suddenly danging in front of him. The old uh,

890
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: you know, you're only as loyal as your options kind

891
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: of thing that it was brought to bear pretty fast.

892
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: I Mean, there's coaches that are hit. Nobody is hated

893
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: by more teams than Lincoln.

894
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 4: Well, especially if you're going to take a bunch of

895
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 4: quarter truths or half truths into the media about all

896
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 4: the other thing, we could be pretty sure of because

897
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 4: he did prey on it and thought and sought some

898
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:41,760
Speaker 4: people out for some advice. Exit up about a Fresca exit,

899
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 4: Swollen Dome, Chas and Smith Mike Harmon coming up next.

900
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: More football on the Way. Two NFL team's former superstars.

901
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: Apparently you're trying to get that team's current coach fired.

902
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 3: Fox
