Speaker 4: on the couple, Rob G, can you tell us a

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: little news?

26
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: Uh set up this news about the dog earball start game.

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: And that's right. And Clayton Kershew, that's right.

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 5: The MLB All Star Game rosters are officially out last week.

29
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 5: We had the starters. Now over the weekend, the reserves

30
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 5: are out as well. And one name that kind of

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 5: raised some eyebrows with his inclusion, what's Clayton Kershaw. Now,

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 5: obviously he had that three thousand strikeout performance over the weekend.

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 5: Believe on Thursday after Thursday that it happened. And the

34
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 5: reason why it was surprising is he was not voted

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 5: in by the fans, he was not voted in by

36
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 5: the players, he was not voted in by the media. Instead,

37
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 5: he received a special commissioners selection. It's only the third

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 5: time in MLB history that has happened. The other two

39
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: took place in actually the same year twenty twenty two,

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: when Rob Manfred allowed Albert Poohols and Miguel Carbrera to

41
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: both get into the All Star Game. He's doing the

42
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: same again this year for Clayton Kershaw. And Clayton had

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 5: some thoughts on it earlier today. Take a listen.

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 6: Everything that encompasses to get to go to an All

45
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 6: Star Game and get to be around that. I get

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 6: to take my family and I'll never pass up that opportunity.

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 6: So a tremendous honor super thankful to get to go.

48
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 6: And you know, regardless of the situation or how I

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 6: maybe snuck into the All Star Game, it's pretty cool

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 6: to get to be able to go.

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: He's snuck, all right, and guess what, I'm alright with it.

52
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: All you guys, always says Rob Parker, the negative.

53
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,559
Speaker 4: He is the old guy punching at the cloud, traditionalist.

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: He never wants to do anything outside the box.

55
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 7: Bravo, Rob Manford, Bravo major League Baseball, Bravo. This isn't

56
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 7: some broken down pitcher right who didn't do anything this

57
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 7: year and you're just giving him another Not everybody gets

58
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 7: a special exemption. You know what the other two guys

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 7: that they did is for both are going in the

60
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 7: Hall of Fame.

61
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: CLAYT. Kirkshaw's going in the Hall of Fame.

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: You know what he did this year, like a week ago,

63
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: last week something.

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 8: Only nineteen other people have done right.

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 4: Only twenty pitchers in the history of baseball now have

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: struck out three thousand or more batters and Clayton Kershaw's won.

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 4: Only four left handers have done it even a smaller group.

68
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: Yep.

69
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: And if you want to take this guy and celebrate

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: him at the All Star Game when everybody and Baseball

71
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: America will be watching, right, this is your time to shine.

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 4: This is what an All Star Game is supposed to be.

73
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: I'm cool with it. Kelvin, I have no issues. It

74
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: wasn't like Klayt Kursher didn't do anything specially he's broken

75
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: down picture and he's about to retire. No, they don't

76
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 4: do this for everybody. These are only exemptions right for

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 4: Hall love fame bound players. This is on part with

78
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: what they've done with Pulhos and what they did with Caberra.

79
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: I have no problem with it because of a key

80
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: couple of things. Number one, you just mentioned it. I

81
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: love the scarcity. I love that they don't do it time.

82
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: They don't do this every year. It doesn't get boring.

83
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: It isn't taken away from another guy spout all the time.

84
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Three years they've done this twenty twenty two and this

85
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: year for three guys that any single person is going

86
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: first battle Hall of Famer in there we go. And

87
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: so I have no problem in it when it's that rare,

88
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: when it's that special, when it's that unique. Also why

89
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it, because one thing

90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Baseball does and they did it to fault for years

91
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: in my opinion, was they were they were all about

92
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: ghost Everything was about Mickey Mannle and Ted Williams and

93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: and they, and they too much when it was like, yo,

94
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: what about some young guys doing it now? And now

95
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: I think they've got a good balance of honoring the past,

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: honoring the the current, and honoring the Clinton Kershaw's where

97
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: he's current, but he's gonna be one of those guys

98
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: who was the best of a generation and they're taking

99
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: care of that. So I like that Baseball has found

100
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: a great median of honoring the young guys rich history,

101
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: but they honor their history.

102
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 8: So they're not gonna They're not gonna turn this down.

103
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: And Baseball's All Star Game truly like the It is

104
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: a fan experience and where they honor it's all about

105
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: the guys, and they have multiple they do multiple different things.

106
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, they'll do the best of each franchise, the

107
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: four best for each franchise. They'll do this, They'll pair

108
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: an old guy with a new guy for the photo

109
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: op and like they're good.

110
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: At that, dad pitch to a to a. I mean

111
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: like like those are some great.

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 8: And so they master that.

113
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: So to me, Clayton Kershaw is universally respected, universally agreed

114
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: that he's one of the best, if not the best,

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: of his era, his generation generation. And so to me,

116
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: honoring that guy, I don't have a problem with it.

117
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: If Steph Curry in a couple of years.

118
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: No, I'm sorry, did I say that, Robgie?

119
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 8: I pushed it too far.

120
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: I did a Dodger and Steph Curry, we were almost

121
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: open your mouth.

122
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 4: We were good until you just threw out why you

123
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: gotta throw all Steph Curry?

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: Because I was gonna say Lebron and you would have

125
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: said no too. You might have gave it to Lebron though.

126
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: All right, But but you know what, I'm not the

127
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: negative nelly in the room.

128
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 8: It's Rob g Robgi is a low key negative nelly.

129
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 3: By the way, Yes you are.

130
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 8: You hid it well, but you kind of you.

131
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: Are a low key you're just loud, so you always

132
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: think I'm negative.

133
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: I'm usually optimistic. And then I met Rob Parker. Know

134
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 5: what seems to be the way to do?

135
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, you've been negative, Nelly the less since I've known you.

136
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

137
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: So I'm not gonna have a big problem with it,

138
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 5: but I have a problem with it. What is this

139
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 5: saying the problem you have? It's twofold number one. This

140
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 5: is an exhibition. It doesn't really count. So the idea

141
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 5: of a guy being on an All Star team shouldn't

142
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 5: be that big of a deal, right because it doesn't really

143
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: matter in the grass scheme of things. Here's the problem, though,

144
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 5: the idea of an All Star Game is, if you

145
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 5: talk to fans, it's not even about rewarding who's having

146
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 5: the best season. It's I just want to see the

147
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: stars out there. I don't care if you guys talked

148
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: about Juansota last hour, if Juan Soto had a terrible start,

149
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 5: he is one of the best players in baseball no

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: matter what. I want to see him out there, right. So,

151
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: if the fans decided I don't really want to see

152
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 5: Clayton kersher out there, he wasn't voted in. Why is

153
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: it that Rob Manfred took it upon himself to say,

154
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: you know what, I'm gonna put him out there whether

155
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 5: you want him or not. If that was going to

156
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 5: be the case, then I don't need the other fourteen

157
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 5: whatever or eighteen first time or that they have this year,

158
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 5: because half of them, unless you're a big baseball fan

159
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 5: of MA, doesn't know.

160
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: Right.

161
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 5: So that's number one. Number two, And this is probably

162
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: the biggest reason. If this was we knew definitively Clayton

163
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 5: Kershaw's final season, then sure like it's a going away present,

164
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: really doesn't impact anything. Let's give him his his flowers.

165
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 5: What if he plays next years? What if he plays

166
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 5: the year after? He can play next year? Is he

167
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 5: gonna be exempted?

168
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: No, he's not.

169
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: What's the point of doing it? No, because you don't

170
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: know that, but you don't want to guess. And then

171
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: next year, say he has an injury or something. And

172
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 4: then and Rob g here's the only reason why. I

173
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: hear your point about the fans and all that, But

174
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 4: here's the difference. He just broke the record. I'm not broken.

175
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: Just joined the three thousand strikeout club, do you know

176
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 4: what I mean? So that gives you a platform to

177
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: give him his flowers on that stage. Clayton Kershaw the

178
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 4: twentieth pitcher in the history of baseball to get three

179
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 4: thousand strikeouts. It doesn't happen every day. It's in the

180
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: case right now where a lot of people say, we

181
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: might not even see another.

182
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: Pat And to add to that, Rob g so you

183
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: have your tie in, you say why is irrelevant, I'll

184
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: tell you why it's relevant.

185
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 8: He just got the three thousand, Marcus. Rob stated.

186
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: Also, his team is the current reigning World Series champ.

187
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: So it's not as if, again he's been on a

188
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: terrible team for ten years, nobody's talked about it, hadn't

189
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: thought about him.

190
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 8: He just won.

191
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: His team just won a World Series, and he just

192
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: threw for three thousand yards.

193
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 8: And I and what makes that important?

194
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: Three thousand striking, three thousand strikeouts, And what makes that

195
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: important is baseball more than any of the sport cares

196
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: about his numbers.

197
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 4: The numbers are that that's the difference between why people

198
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 4: don't have an issue with NFL players with the juice

199
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: and baseball is different because the number numbers mad. The

200
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: numbers are so revered, right, and people follow around.

201
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: And so he just did something remarkable, three thousand strikeouts,

202
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: his team's a World Series champ. And I don't know

203
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: this to be true, but I wouldn't shock me if

204
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: this is his last year, you know, just because that's

205
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: probably what base and I think they got an inkling.

206
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, maybe they talk to some agents and you know,

207
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: but it just wouldn't make sense. And so to me,

208
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: I have no problem if you tell me they've done

209
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: it three times for those three guys, three Hall of famers,

210
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: a guy who just threw three thousand strikeouts, a guy

211
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: who is currently a World Series champ. I have no

212
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: problem with it. And you just mentioned something else. Half

213
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: the players we won't know. Everybody know Clinton Kershaw or everybody.

214
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: Everybody, everybody, here's the problem, everybody. The last guy or

215
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: one of the last guys to get the three thousand

216
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 5: strikeouts was Justin Verlander, Right, Why didn't they do that

217
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: for him? He's not retired yet, neither is Clayton Kershaw. No,

218
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 5: Justin Verlander's forty two. He's been terrible now basically for

219
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 5: two and a half season because he's been dealing with injury.

220
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 9: One.

221
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 8: Justin Verlander was amazing, is he Clayton?

222
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 5: You could argue he was better than Clinton con because

223
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 5: of his postseason success.

224
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Clay Ray is two one.

225
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 5: That's fine. He's Payton Manning is Payon Manning versus Tom Brady.

226
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 5: What is people gonna view Paynon Manning as a better quarterback?

227
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 5: I would, but not everybody.

228
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 8: He was a better talent.

229
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: But the difference is this again, the reason you do

230
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: it this year? What did he just do last week?

231
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 5: So why didn't they do that twenty twenty three? Why

232
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 5: didn't I do it for him?

233
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 8: I'll tell you why.

234
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: I'll tell you.

235
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 8: I'm gonna tell you what's camera came put the radio

236
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 8: mich I'll tell you why.

237
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: Rob g It's easy.

238
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 8: He was, what are you doing? Shut up? Let me cook.

239
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 8: It's easy. He was with the Houston Trashtros.

240
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: And they didn't want the controversy. Oh that's a world

241
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: series and they didn't really win it, and that they

242
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: want to just keep silent, keep it moving.

243
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 8: They got their title. We know it was cheating. We

244
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 8: all know what's going on.

245
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: People got wires on the chest, people banging on the

246
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: a on the trash cans like their bongos. Man.

247
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 8: So that's why Rob Gi. They were like let's just

248
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 8: keep this moment going. Congratulations for you three thousand and

249
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 8: move on.

250
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 5: That's why you just run into a really sticky situation

251
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 5: moving forward. When you start making special exemptions, it naturally

252
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 5: shows favoritism to certain guys. And I'm not saying Clayon

253
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 5: Kershawe isn't one of those guys who deserves it. But

254
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 5: now you gotta have a hard line somewhere between guys

255
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 5: who will deserve it and guys who won't. And it's

256
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 5: just again, if he was retiring for sure this year,

257
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 5: it's a different conversation. But if he plays two three

258
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 5: more years, then it just looks awkward.

259
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 8: Tell him not to pitch with the Astros, Tell me

260
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 8: better retire.

261
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: He would have been better hang it up this year.

262
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: If he hadn't pitched with the Astros, Justin Erlander might

263
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: have been honored.

264
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 8: Might heavy on the mic though. By the way, Kershaw's

265
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 8: shoot is a given.

266
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 4: All right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox shooting

267
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty.

268
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 8: Now do you have a problem.

269
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball made a blunder by allowing CLAYT Kershaw

270
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 4: to be an All Star. He's not having not he's

271
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 4: undefeated this year with four and oh yeah, but he

272
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: hasn't pitched enough to be on an All Star team.

273
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: But do you have a problem? Rob G has a

274
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: big problem with this. Kelvin and I for once or

275
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: an agreement.

276
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 8: I'm cool, I'm all uncomfortable about this.

277
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: Heavy once in a while, So we agree. We want

00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: provides up to twelve hours of pay release so you

315
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: can keep moving.

316
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 8: Use as directed. Click Kershaw.

317
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: Rob Manfred, Commissioner of MLB, named him a ceremonial All

318
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: Stars that happened three times. The other two were both

319
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: guys in twenty twenty two, Miguel Cabrera and albur Pool hosts.

320
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 8: It makes sense. You and I don't disagree on this.

321
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 8: We say it makes sense.

322
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: It's fun.

323
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 8: You know.

324
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 4: Is that they didn't do it last year. You know

325
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: they like, this is not an every year thing.

326
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: That's to me was the key part. This was every

327
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: year the uniqueness is gone. In my opinion, this is

328
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: me only when it's the best of the best of

329
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: the best of the best, first ballot Hall of Famers

330
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: and Miguel Carberra Kershaw and also again albur Pool hosts.

331
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: So we're okay with a Robb g was giving us pushback.

332
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: He didn't necessarily feel it. Eight seven, seven ninety nine

333
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: on Fox who we got.

334
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 4: Let's go Andre in Massachusetts. You're on the couple of

335
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Dray?

336
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 11: How are you doing that?

337
00:15:59,160 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 12: Thanks?

338
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 11: Taking all listen on this one. I am going to

339
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 11: push back. I do have an issue with it. You know,

340
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 11: these guys, they're all time great players, first baut Hall

341
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 11: of Famers, but it's got to be on the marriage.

342
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 11: I'm not for the Lifetime Achievement award in the procession

343
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 11: in the coronation. Yes, you've had a great career. You

344
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 11: mean a lot to the game. But if you're an

345
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 11: All Star, then show me you're an All Star, you know,

346
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 11: and not just to have you out there because it's

347
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 11: a good moment. You have to be very careful. I

348
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 11: go back to this. This is where the NBA has

349
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 11: gone a foul, and it's just become a runaway train

350
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 11: with everything. We're looking for a storyline, we're looking for

351
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 11: a narrative. So the NBA awards, particularly the Hall of Fame,

352
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 11: they don't mean anything. And Baseball's on the other side

353
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 11: of the spectrum. The Baseball Hall of Fame means something

354
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 11: because they actually maintain that standard. So I know it's

355
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 11: one's a Hall of Fame, one's an All Star Game.

356
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 11: But it's along the same line. So I'm against it. Kershaw,

357
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 11: you haven't been out there, you know, So this year

358
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 11: you're not an All Star. You come back, you find

359
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 11: some lightning in a bottle, You have a great first

360
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 11: of the season than you can be.

361
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 8: It's just an All Star game.

362
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: It's an exhibition and you're honoring, showcasing the best of

363
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: your sport, the guys who have done it for so long,

364
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: for so great.

365
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 4: Andre he did just have a magical moment in Major

366
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 4: League Baseball this year. It's not like without the three

367
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 4: thousand strikeouts. I'm with you, Drey, Is that fair without that?

368
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 11: No, you have him out there. All I'm saying is

369
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 11: I get your points. It's not really gonna hurt anything.

370
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 11: But it's a slippery slope. And that's where the NBA started,

371
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 11: and now it's a participation in the award.

372
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 8: Now we don't want Hey Andre by humbug?

373
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 3: All right, Andre?

374
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 8: Right now from Andre.

375
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 4: Brady in Windsor, Canada, right across from Detroit.

376
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, had a lot of fun out there. Don

377
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Cherry still going on, Brady, you're in the couple of Fox.

378
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 11: Yeah.

379
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, Well I just had a birthday yesterday.

380
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 3: Happy birthday, Hold on you seventy nine to Okay?

381
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 11: Yeah.

382
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 12: Well, and I think that Clayton Kersher should be on

383
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 12: the All Star Game. He's only the first lefty the

384
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 12: the man three thousand strikeouts and he's the fifth ballot

385
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 12: Hall of Famer, probably the best picture of the well

386
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 12: held this generation. So yeah, I think he has an

387
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 12: exhibition game. So yeah. You always want to see the

388
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 12: very very best of the very very best. So yeah,

389
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 12: I'm off for I'm off for Kershaw being in the

390
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,280

421
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 4: good old days, rob g. You would drive across you know,

422
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 4: the bridge there, or go through the tunnel and be

423
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 4: in Canada in ten minutes.

424
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 8: I got caught up once at the bridge.

425
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure you did. Backe.

426
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 8: My cousin had uh some we did.

427
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: No, just had a massive thing of uh Rossi. It

428
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: was like a like a liquor, like a wine, like

429
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: a Martini Rossi. It's like a big, huge jug. It's

430
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: like literally a jug of liquor. And they're like, you

431
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: got any you know, drugs, alcohol or anything. He said, no,

432
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: really no, And they said and you know they just

433
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: randomly picky, they go all right, Uh they didn't randomly.

434
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 8: I'll give it.

435
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: I'll let them slide because then, you know, we used

436
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: to go over all the time. They didn't always pull

437
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: brothers over, like they really didn't care. All right, you're

438
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: going to spend some money in our country. Go ahead, man,

439
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: they made us pull over. Yeah, just go take that

440
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: left over there.

441
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: And then and then that is that is the issue.

442
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 4: Like if they were to do that and they were profiling,

443
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 4: every car coming from Detroit would be stopped.

444
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, it's because Troy. They would

445
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, they couldn't do it. They're like, we

446
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: didniter National Guard. We're stopping all of them. No, it

447
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,399

Speaker 3: Yeah.

470
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 13: He used to be a hockey player for the Maple

471
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 13: Leafs and he struck it rich big time after he retired,

472
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,640

Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even that was so normal back home

476
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: that I didn't realize that was like a novelty, like

477
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: it was only in that area.

478
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,880

485
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:48,880

491
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 4: always turn to my partner Mark Wilson. I'd say hey Mark,

492
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,360

Speaker 12: Know, I'm good.

511
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 9: It's starting to slow down. I'm actually, you know, I'm

512
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 9: getting to take a breath, which didn't happen for a

513
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 9: while with the finals, in the draft and to start

514
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 9: a free agency.

515
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: I will say this before we get to the NBA stuff.

516
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 4: The story about maybe NBC getting baseball back that got

517
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 4: me juiced up.

518
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, wow, that was some interesting stuff at NBC

519
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: there love it.

520
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's going to be interesting, I will say, you know, obviously,

521
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 9: I'm when they want to make billion dollar purchases and negotiations,

522
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 9: they bring me in. A basketball writer thinks, yeah.

523
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: What do you think? I think this would be a

524
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: good deal. But it was definitely interesting.

525
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 8: All right.

526
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: I want to ask you about kind of Newsy today,

527
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 4: just to Bradley beal idea. Is this going to happen

528
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 4: or they Is he going to accept the thirteen million

529
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 4: dollar to lose thirteen million dollars in order to leave

530
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 4: the Suns where he didn't want to be traded last

531
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: year and all this.

532
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 3: It just sounds like a lot of money to give up.

533
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 9: It is a lot, but I think he wants out

534
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 9: badly enough. And you know, it's the way the way

535
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 9: I keep looking at this, it's thirteen million out of

536
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 9: the one hundred and ten he's basically got left like

537
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 9: he's still he's still getting like ninety seven million out

538
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 9: of this post for whatever he makes with his new team.

539
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 9: So it's not going to you know, the kids aren't

540
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 9: going to starve. It is money. He hasn't left that

541
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 9: kind of stuff on the table before. But I think

542
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 9: they've just reached the point where he wants out and

543
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 9: in the summer right now he can land where he

544
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 9: wants to. I will tell you I've been told this

545
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 9: to Clippers, but we'll see what happens.

546
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 4: Why why can't he just sit and say, just you know,

547
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 4: cut me or whatever. Do what happened with Damian Lillard.

548
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: I noticed some stipulation stuff, but say you know you

549
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: want me, you want me gone from here, figure it

550
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 4: out where you pay me my money and I'll and

551
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 4: release me.

552
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 9: They look he would happily do that, but the way

553
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 9: because of it, because the let's call it, let's just

554
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 9: be franking about this, the poor cap management of sex

555
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 9: sons in the last few years, as they've built up

556
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 9: this roster or built in and now tearing it down.

557
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 9: They've already waved in stretched guys, and because of an

558
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 9: obscure provision kind of in that nobody really thought about

559
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 9: in the CBA, they can't. They can't do the wave

560
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 9: and stretch thing with him that was done with Lillard

561
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 9: because it takes him over this percentage line where they

562
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 9: can't do it. So he has to get up a

563
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 9: thirteen point eight million to get bought out just because

564
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 9: of previous mismanagement. He could tell them I'm not giving

565
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 9: up the money, but then they can't get rid of him.

566
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: Kurt, we had a conversation about it earlier, and I

567
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: just said, you mentioned something for me. It's just buying

568
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: the freedom, you know, and I can go somewhere else.

569
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: You mentioned Clippers, maybe the Lakers, maybe the Bucks. Handful

570
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: of teams that he put out there he would be

571
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: interested in. So I definitely get that. I want to

572
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: switch gears a little bit. I want to go to

573
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: some just a couple of the teams right now that

574
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: have made some moves and I believe who are are

575
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: really really good, but then we're able to take that

576
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: next leap where they're true legit contenders. I look at

577
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets, look at the Houston Rockets, those two

578
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: teams specifically in the West.

579
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 8: What do you make of their moves they made? And

580
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 8: where do you got to rank them? Right now?

581
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 9: It's funny. I just just spent time starting today, like

582
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 9: I've got to do some I want to do some

583
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 9: power rankings in the next week. And they said second

584
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 9: and third. I got Houston second, Denver third. I think

585
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 9: you could flip them. I guess. I guess you got

586
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 9: to keep okayc on top. They're pretty good. Yeah, but

587
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 9: first off, I with Houston bringing Look, they would have

588
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 9: won just bringing in Kevin Durant because we all watched

589
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 9: them in the playoffs in that first round loss to

590
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 9: Golden State Man and you're just like, they just need

591
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 9: somebody in the half court, right, They just need a

592
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 9: guy who can go get them a bucket in the

593
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 9: half court and settle them down. And Ben's defense is

594
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 9: a little bit that way. And there may not be

595
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 9: anybody better than Kevin Durant at that. But all the

596
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 9: other moves they've made around this Dori and Finney Smith

597
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,479
Speaker 9: and stuff like, they've just made really smart signings all

598
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 9: all summer long. They look like a team poised like that,

599
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 9: and I think we kind of forget for people that

600
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 9: like Denver took OKAYC seven games, like pushed them hard,

601
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 9: and then they just went out guys and did exactly

602
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 9: what Michael Malone has been asking him to do for years, like, man,

603
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 9: I need some shooting, I need some veteran defense. Like

604
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 9: they just went and got the kind of guys he's

605
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 9: been wanting them to get. While Calvin Booth was telling

606
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 9: them he's hey, play the kids. They went out and

607
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 9: got those guys. Now they have a really nice bench,

608
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 9: and especially if Julian Strawther makes the leap look like

609
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 9: he was going to make during the playoffs, they surround

610
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 9: him with the guys they got in that suddenly they're

611
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 9: not gonna let Valancinis go. And that alone is just huge.

612
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 9: If you can get, if you can sit in your

613
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 9: kitch for twenty minutes a night and not fall apart,

614
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 9: how much better are they?

615
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're scary, Okay, I have to give it to them.

616
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: They they're back to that that version of themselves a

617
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: few years ago when they had a chance to win

618
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: a check.

619
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 3: What about DeAndre Aiden?

620
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 9: Is he?

621
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I get it if you're the Lakers, cause

622
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 4: you feel like you know it didn't really cost us

623
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: a lot of money.

624
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 3: But is he is he any good?

625
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 8: Is he? Is he?

626
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: Like it's been. It's disappointing to see where he's gone

627
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: on from the beginning.

628
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 9: It is because look, I remember talking to Scouts when

629
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 9: he's coming out, and he has and we've seen flashes

630
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 9: of it. He has the potential to be just all

631
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 9: world good when he wants to be. It's just, you

632
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 9: know what, you guys are old enough. A lot of

633
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 9: the listeners out there, some of the younger people may

634
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 9: not get this reference of some of you will. This

635
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 9: is gonna be Andrew Bynham two point zero. This is

636
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 9: going to be when he's on. He is really good

637
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 9: and fits perfectly with what they want to do. And

638
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 9: Lebron is going to be on him, and Doncic is

639
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 9: going to be on him. But even with Chris Paul there,

640
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 9: it just never lasts right. And so we'll see what

641
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 9: they can get out of him. He's he was the

642
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 9: best fit for them of the players available, and they

643
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 9: got him at a very good price. Like part of

644
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 9: the problem with Aighton was he was making thirty five

645
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 9: million dollars and nobody wanted to touch it. Oh and

646
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 9: Ate and changed, you know, in the NBA, in the

647
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 9: monopoly money landscape that is the NBA.

648
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: Thirty five million.

649
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 9: Oh god, yeah, exactly, So just a little more than

650
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 9: you just just a little bit.

651
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 3: Crazy.

652
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 9: So yeah, so this is I mean, it's as good

653
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 9: a deal as the Lakers were going to get in

654
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 9: the short term, but I am not sure he's the

655
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 9: long term answer, and I don't think they probably think that. Look,

656
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 9: one of two things is going to happen. This is

657
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 9: going to actually work out. He's going to realize he's

658
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 9: on his last leg and you're going to get a

659
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 9: better version of eighton, a more consistent version of eighton

660
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 9: might be the better way to phrase that, because he's

661
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 9: going to realize what's going on and he likes the environment.

662
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 9: Or honestly, he's gone from the Lakers in the year

663
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 9: and he's probably getting a minimum contract somewhere.

664
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 4: Let me ask you to no, uh, Mike Brown was

665
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: officially hired by the Knicks.

666
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, where are you on that?

667
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 4: I just I'm not a I was I thought that

668
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: Tim should have been fired. I really did believe that

669
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: after they, you know, knock off the Celtics and then

670
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 4: lose Game one and two, especially that Game one, giving

671
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 4: up a fourteen point lead in all that, but Mike

672
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 4: Brown just didn't move me at all. I mean, I

673
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 4: know he's been around, he's had some success, been coaching

674
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 4: the year. I just help me explain or make me

675
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: feel better about this, because I just don't.

676
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm not a Mike Brown guy in this situation.

677
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 9: Mike Brown is a good coach. I think the real

678
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 9: question for Knicks fans like yourself, it really comes down

679
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 9: to this is being different than Tom Thibodeau what they

680
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 9: ultimately needed, because I don't better subjective. He's just a

681
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 9: little different and maybe that's what the team needs because

682
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 9: I'm with you, Like, first off, I can't believe, Hey,

683
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 9: you made the finals, Conference finals for the first time. It's

684
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 9: twenty five years. Let's fire you, which just has like

685
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 9: James Dolan's fingerprints all over it, which is ugly. But

686
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 9: if you're going to do that, if you're going to

687
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 9: let go of a successful coach, then you better have

688
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 9: in your back pocket. Hey, this is the guy we're

689
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 9: going with, guy we believe, and this is what they didn't.

690
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 9: Then we're going to do a search. And I don't

691
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 9: know if they thought people just flocked to them or

692
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 9: if the Jason Kintson could really happen or whatever they thought.

693
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 9: It was incredibly confusing, so like it was just a

694
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 9: poorly planned out process. I didn't really I didn't really

695
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 9: get any of that. But I think he's good, and

696
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 9: I think that's ultimately the question is like, and just

697
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 9: having a different voice in the room be what they needed.

698
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 9: I'm not sure that it is, but in a down

699
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 9: East maybe that's enough.

700
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, we'll have to wait and see.

701
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: Neither one of us were overly enjoyed, you know, enthused

702
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: by that pick, especially when you got eleven playoff games

703
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: four out of five times in a postseason and won

704
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: thirty you know, fifty plus a couple times in a

705
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: row and tips.

706
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 8: So all right, we appreciate your curt as always.

707
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 9: Thank you man, Thank you anytime.

708
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 8: Guys.

709
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 9: Take care,
