They will improve slightly but not 15 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 3: go to the finals. Too many cooks Big three will 16 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 3: actually take a step back. 17 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 4: This also a Todd Fritz special. 18 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, about fifty one percent of the audience 19 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 3: are saying they'll improve slightly but probably not going to 20 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: the finals. 21 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think they will. 22 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: And I want to see what happens with DeAndre eight 23 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,639 Speaker 2: and if Frank Bogel wants to keep him. 24 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 5: You know he's on record is saying he wants to. 25 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it would be interesting if you said, I 26 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: gotta get this guy DeAndre eight and out of here. 27 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: But you got to be able to have a rim protector. 28 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 2: It feels like with Frank Vogel that he had one 29 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: in Indiana, had one with the Lakers, and you're gonna 30 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: want one. You got to be able to play defense, 31 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: but you've got guys who can score. I just don't 32 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: know if the three headed monster works anymore. 33 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 6: Yes, Marvin, I've seen a lot of his own defense 34 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 6: in the future. 35 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 5: Oh okay, Yeah, Paulie. 36 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 7: It's like when you watched DeAndre a and I remember 37 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 7: as Ricky, You're like, Okay, this guy's good low post guy. 38 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 7: He's got some moves, he's versatile, he's a nice rebounder. 39 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's okay on defense. 40 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 41 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 7: I was like, well, this will clearly improve as the 42 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 7: years go along. He seems like the same exact player 43 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 7: he was week one. 44 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 2: It feels like he's less than what he once was, 45 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 2: because at least I thought that he was building on something. 46 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,199 Speaker 2: But he's going to be compared to Luca and Trey Young, 47 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: certainly Luca the rest of his career, he's going to 48 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: be like, oh yeah, he had a good year, not 49 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: as good as Luca had a good year. Not as 50 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: good as Trey Young, but he's a good player or 51 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: the potential to be a good player. 52 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, Mark, was he a territorial pick? It felt like that. 53 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, the owner, Robert Sarver wanted the University of Arizona 54 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: guy and took him over Luca and try Young certainly 55 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: over Luca.

Smoke it out 100 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 5: now or die. We were on this story late last hour. 101 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: We had a caller Brad from North Carolina that a 102 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 2: shark took a bite out of a fishing team. A 103 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: high stakes fishing competition, the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament 104 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: North Carolina ended in controversy. Somebody landed a six hundred 105 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: nineteen pound marlin Saturday, and that would have won the 106 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: team three million dollars in prize money. It was disallowed 107 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: because it appeared to be bitten by sharks, and therefore 108 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: it was disqualified. Okay, So the fish was mutilated before 109 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: it was landed or boted, therefore it was disqualified. 110 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 5: Okay. 111 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: It would have weighed even more if the sharks didn't 112 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: get to it. So why did they lose three million dollars? 113 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 5: Pauling, It's unclear. 114 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 7: The sensation is the boat that caught it, the sharks, 115 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 7: six hundred nineteen pounds the marlin, the announcer said, would 116 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 7: allowed speak and they were celebrating when they got the 117 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 7: wig in. It appears that the shark the fish has 118 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 7: been bitten by a shark so well. The International Game 119 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 7: Fish Association rule Book DAN says mutilation of the fish 120 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 7: prior to landing or boating the catch caused by sharks, fish, mammals, 121 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 7: or propellers that remove or penetrate the flesh caused a disqualification. 122 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 7: When you look at the fish, it seems pretty intact. 123 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 7: It's got some rough spots down low, but the fish 124 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 7: is not mutilated. 125 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 5: It's not like unrecognizable. 126 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 7: The crew of the Sensation would have won two point 127 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 7: seven to seven million for coming in first place and 128 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 7: another seven hundred and thirty nine to five for the 129 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 7: catch of the year. 130 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 5: That is more than five hundred pounds. It was reported, Yeah, 131 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 5: took them six hours to land this thing. They said. 132 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 7: This is consistent with their rulings in the past, where 133 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 7: if a mutilated fish is caught, they decwe it it 134 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 7: doesn't look mutilated. 135 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,559 Speaker 2: But I don't did it was it easier to catch? 136 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: I don't understand this. Help me understand. 137 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 5: There's no reasoning behind the rule that I could find. 138 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: Do we have to look at the fish all over 139 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: and what if he's got bite marks? But nothing has 140 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: been No flesh has been taking. 141 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 7: But if he's got internal damage, like, yeah, exactly, you know, 142 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 7: but you know, yeah, it's got mental internal organs that 143 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 7: are you know, what the hell? Yeah, And if you 144 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 7: look at the fish hanging there and they're celebrating, there 145 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 7: is some again rough spots, but no one seems bothered 146 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 7: by it. 147 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 5: But the announcer the nark. He goes, oh, it's been 148 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 5: bitten by a shark. 149 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 7: And then all of a sudden, the officials came in 150 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 7: and had a meeting right there on the dock. Okay, 151 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 7: they got and they got DQ so they didn't finish 152 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 7: Second Dan. They went from three million dollars to zero 153 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 7: three point five million. 154 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: NASCAR's back on NBC. Second half of the season. Heats 155 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: up in Nashville Sunday, June twenty fifth, in primetime on NBC. 156 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: I would imagine that the boat, the Sensation crew is 157 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: appealing this. 158 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 7: Absolutely we're gonna keep a eye on that.

So they're saying this basically is a rule. 203 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 9: If you were to drive up on a floating dead 204 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 9: carcass of a seven hundred pound marlin and you threw 205 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 9: in the boat and you're like, hey, check it out, 206 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 9: we call it this for three millions. 207 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, but Rick, Rick, they fought for six hours to 208 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: bring this fish in. 209 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 9: I totally agree with you. The hardest part is once 210 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 9: it gets to the side of the boat, say it's 211 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 9: alive and you grabbed that leader. I'm totally in agreeance 212 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 9: with you, and that's what the rule is. 213 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 5: It's okay, all right, well, thank you Rick. 214 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 3: That maybe if it hadn't gotten bit by a shark, 215 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: then it would have been seven and a half hours. 216 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 5: I guess what if they fought the shark as well, 217 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 5: and that it kind. 218 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 4: Of makes sense to me the rule now that they 219 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 4: put it that. 220 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 5: Way, But you fought for six six hours. 221 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: Right, But the idea that a dead fish is easier 222 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 3: to bring in than a living one, I think makes sense. 223 00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 2: Okay, these fishing competition, you know, there's a lot of drama, 224 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: like when you know, there's we don't talk about steroids 225 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,719 Speaker 2: or performance and instant drugs in sports anymore.

The Celtics with Bird 332 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: and McHale and Magic and DJ and Ange, you know ego, 333 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: they were able to because they knew it was Larry's team. Uh, 334 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: you know Kareem with Magic. It became Magic's team and 335 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: everybody understood that. But to have that, you know, Bill 336 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: Russell and the Celtics it was Bob Coosey's team, and 337 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, everybody realized, you're going to win. 338 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: It's because of Bill Russell and it became Bill Russell's 339 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: team and he was selfless. Therefore everybody else kind of 340 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 2: fell in line. You have to have that, you have 341 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: to have a pecking order, but everybody understands there's a 342 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: greater good. 343 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, Mark, Is there any other team or dynasty where 344 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 6: you're like, man, they want a lot, but they could 345 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 6: have won more. Is there anybody else besides the Shaq 346 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 6: and Kobe Lakers? 347 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: Well, the Braves, The Atlanta Braves won one title, but 348 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: I don't think that that was ego because you were 349 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: led by those pitchers. They had a great team, they 350 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: just were unlucky. You know, they should have won probably 351 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: three or four World Series titles. 352 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I wonder if Shaq ever gets bothered by this narrative. 353 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 7: There's a lot of you know, there's always videos being 354 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 7: posted and different things about and it's Kobe Bryant clips 355 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 7: from back in the day where he calls out Shaq 356 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 7: for his health and his fitness stuff. You know, Shaq 357 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 7: was averaging like thirty one and fifteen in those playoffs 358 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 7: when they won. And then when the next year when 359 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 7: when he's two thousand and two, two thousand and three, 360 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 7: Shack averaged twenty seven to fifteen four and four. Those 361 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 7: are pretty good numbers. I was saying, well, it could 362 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 7: have been better, could have been you know, he was there. 363 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: For no, No, he could have been better in making 364 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: it a collaborative effort, not his play. Okay, I mean, 365 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: Shack could have been a better player making his free throws. 366 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: But he was a dominating, dominating force. But the big 367 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: man is never going to get enough credit. You're going 368 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 2: to get blamed. You just will. And Kobe was out 369 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: to prove that he could win without Shack and then 370 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: you get Paw Gasol and Kobe had his running mate 371 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 2: there was he wanted to make sure everybody knew I 372 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: can win without Shaq, and then Shaq wanted to prove 373 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: that he could win without Kobe, and he was, you 374 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 2: know in Miami with d Way. 375 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 6: Yes, Mark Bradley Beal might beat this generation's Paul Gasol, like, oh, 376 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 6: he's really good, but nobody. 377 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 5: Knows them well. 378 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: Chris Mannock's going to join us and get his thoughts 379 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 2: on Bradley Beal trade from the Phoenix perspective as well 380 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: as the Wizards.

Chris Mannix covers the NBA. 422 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 2: He's a senior reporter writer for Sports Illustrated and uh, 423 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: let me get your thoughts on the Bradley Beal trade 424 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 2: from Phoenix's perspective. 425 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 14: On the surface, you get a player the caliber of 426 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 14: Bradley Beal. By giving up as little as they did, 427 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 14: you would have to declare this a win. You know, 428 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 14: Bradley Beal, even though he's only played what ninety games 429 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 14: over the last two years when he's right, is still 430 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 14: a twenty five ish point per game score so you 431 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 14: get that from Phoenix's perspective, but when you start really 432 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 14: looking at the fit, there are some red flags there. 433 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 14: Phoenix now has a team that is led by three guys. 434 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 15: That like the mid range jump shot. 435 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 14: You look at the number of mid range jump shots Beal, 436 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 14: Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant shoot, and it's a lot 437 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 14: their effective scorers, but they do shoot a lot of 438 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 14: mid r jump shots, and you start to wonder if 439 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 14: Beal and Devin Booker are somewhat repetitive, if they overlap 440 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 14: with their skill set. So you're not exactly sure how 441 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 14: they fit. And you also look at this deal and 442 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 14: you are now if you're Phoenix, you're now all in 443 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 14: with this group like that. There's nobody I mean, Devin Booker, 444 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 14: you could trade down the line because young enough and 445 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 14: and people want him, but you're not going to be 446 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 14: able to trade Bradley Beale, who's no trade clause, comes 447 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 14: with him to Phoenix. Kevin Durant certainly could still be movable, 448 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 14: but not for anywhere near the yield that they gave 449 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 14: up to get him. This is your team for at 450 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 14: least the next three or four years, and you're all 451 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 14: in there's there's almost no way you can substantially improve 452 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 14: this group because you don't have draft picks and you 453 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 14: don't have any kind of cap flexibility. That flexibility is 454 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 14: going to go down in the years to come because 455 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 14: the NBA, as you know, is going to make it 456 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 14: is making it a lot harder for teams to just 457 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 14: free spend their way to success. 458 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 15: So it's it's a deal that you. 459 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 14: Know, on paper, you argue makes the Suns better, but 460 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,719 Speaker 14: I don't look at them as being better than Denver 461 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 14: right now, and that that for the next couple of 462 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 14: years is going to be the bar in the Western Conference. 463 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was curious about this that you just added 464 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 2: another scorer. They still have DeAndre eight and they don't 465 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: have depth, and you have a lot of guys. 466 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 5: Who do the same thing. 467 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 2: They don't have defenders there, and you're facing a team 468 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: and I use, you know, I capitalize team with Denver, 469 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: that's a better all around team. I don't know where 470 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 2: Phoenix fits in now, if we you know, let's Golden State. 471 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: Are they better than Golden State? Are they better than 472 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: the Lakers? Are they better than Memphis? I'm not I'm 473 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: not quite sure. Did they improve their team. It looks different, 474 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: it looks different, looks sexy, But I don't know if 475 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 2: they improve that much. 476 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 14: I think they improved in part because it was more 477 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 14: likely than not that Chris Paul wasn't going to be 478 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 14: on the team anyway at the start of next season. 479 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 14: Landry Shammitt is a decent rotation player, but you give 480 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 14: up a seventh or eighth man to get a guy 481 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 14: like Bradley Beal. They didn't have to include a first 482 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 14: round pick large because they don't have first round picks, 483 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 14: So a collection of seconds is not a steep price 484 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 14: to pay for Bradley Beal. But look, I said, I 485 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 14: don't think they're better than Denver. You can make the 486 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 14: argument that if the Warriors bring that band back there 487 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 14: lesser than the Warriors, they're lesser than the Sacramento Kings. 488 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 14: Right now, I think we'll take a step forward next year. 489 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 15: And look, when. 490 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 14: You're assessing Phoenix, we're doing it right now. Assuming everything 491 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 14: goes right health wise, that these guys will be on 492 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 14: the floor for sixty sixty five games together, it's just 493 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 14: as likely that doesn't happen. I mean, Beal's got his 494 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 14: own history of injuries over the last four years has 495 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 14: not played more than sixty games in any of those seasons. 496 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 15: Kevin Durant, we know his injury history. 497 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 14: Devin Booker had an injury last year that kept him 498 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 14: out of the lineup for a chunk of time. So 499 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 14: you're committing really one hundred plus million dollars to these 500 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 14: three guys who may or may not be able to 501 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 14: play the entirety of a season. Now you mentioned DeAndre Aiden, 502 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 14: that's the guy teams are watching over the next few days. 503 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 14: I don't think that Phoenix can get equal value back 504 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 14: in return for DeAndre Aiden, but they might be able 505 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 14: to flip him for a couple of role players, you know, 506 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 14: the kind of guys that would flesh out the roster 507 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 14: and give them a little bit more depth, which they're 508 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 14: sorely lacking at the moment. It would be tough, like 509 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 14: Frank Vogel has told me, like he wants to coach 510 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 14: DeAndre Aiden. If you look at Frank Vogel's teams that 511 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 14: have had the most success, they have been anchored by 512 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 14: a defensive minded big you know, whether that's Roy Hibbert 513 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 14: in Indiana, Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard during the championship season, 514 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 14: in Los Angeles. You know, Frank has a defensive strategy 515 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 14: that kind of requires a player like DeAndre Ayton. But 516 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 14: if the Suns can find a deal that would net 517 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 14: them two or three valuable role players. 518 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 15: That's the deal I think they'd strongly consider. 519 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: Now Washington side of this, it just feels like there's 520 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 2: certain teams that are feeder teams to make other teams better. Washington, 521 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 2: I think went down that road with Bradley Beal and 522 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: they were basically stuck. Nobody cares about that franchise. No, 523 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: there's no relevancy with them. You know, it's like Charlotte Orlando, 524 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: where it's like, hey, we got a good player and 525 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 2: we're going to let him go, So what's the future 526 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 2: of the Washington Wizards. 527 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 14: I can't think of a more catastrophic finish to an 528 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 14: era or a quote unquote star player than Bradley Beal. 529 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 14: I mean, they extended him or they gave him a 530 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 14: new contract when everyone knew this was going to happen. 531 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 14: Like the idea that Bradley Beal, Kyle Kuzma, and christavs 532 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 14: Porzingis was going to be able to contend for anything 533 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 14: was just insane. I mean everybody knew it at the time, 534 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 14: but the Wizards for some reason were just so hell 535 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 14: bent on becoming a. 536 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 15: Playoff team, just a playoff team. 537 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 14: That they're willing to give Bradley Beal two hundred fifty 538 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 14: million and a no trade clause to get him to 539 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 14: stick around. And then they go out and swing a deal. 540 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 14: And look, Michael Winger, the new top executive there, he 541 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 14: knew what the score was, he knew they had to 542 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 14: move on from Bradley Beal, and we all knew Dan 543 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 14: that the price for Bradley Beal was going to be 544 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 14: pretty low. You know, for all the reasons we mentioned, 545 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 14: the contract, the no trade clause, the fact that he 546 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 14: has not looked like the same player over the last 547 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 14: couple of seasons that he was in that twenty twenty 548 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 14: one year where he averaged thirty plus points per game. 549 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 14: All that said, they gave him away, Like they gave 550 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 14: him away. You know what they got out of this 551 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 14: deal was getting off that contract. And that made me wonder, like, 552 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 14: was it absolutely necessary to deal Bradley Beal right now? 553 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 14: Like they didn't get a first round pick back, so 554 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 14: it's not like the draft was you know, this this 555 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 14: deadline that they had for him to me, I thought 556 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 14: maybe it would have been better to kind of play 557 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 14: this thing out over the next couple of months, and 558 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 14: maybe even play this thing out into next season, to 559 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 14: see if the market opens up a little bit more, 560 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 14: and to see if Bradley Beal, because of a desire 561 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 14: to get out of Washington, would have expanded his list 562 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 14: of teams that'd be willing to go to. I mean, 563 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 14: over the last couple of weeks, the Wizards have been 564 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 14: dealing like with basically four teams maybe five, who Bradley 565 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 14: Beal would. 566 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 15: Have considered waving his no trade clause. 567 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 14: You go into next season and maybe Brad looking around, 568 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 14: going I want to win something. This team might give 569 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 14: me an opportunity. Let's add that team to the list. Well, 570 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 14: let's add that to in the list, because right now, 571 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 14: the only thing Washington got for Bradley Beal really tangibly 572 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 14: was the flexibility that comes with getting off. 573 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 15: The final four years of that contract. 574 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: And then Chris Paul it's probably I don't think he's 575 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: buying in Washington d C. I'm gonna go guess he 576 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 2: doesn't even get to Washington DC. 577 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 14: Well, yes, there's gonna be a lot of pressure. Look, 578 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 14: the reason this deal is not official is because right 579 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 14: now Washington and Phoenix are looking for that third team 580 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 14: to facilitate Chris Paul. They're seeing if it's out there. 581 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 14: I don't know that it is. It's complicated because of 582 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 14: Chris Paul's salary. There are certainly teams that want him. 583 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 14: Do they want him at the thirty ish million dollars 584 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 14: that he'd be due to be paid next year? I 585 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 14: don't know if as an answer to that question. But 586 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 14: that's why this deal is still in kind of the 587 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 14: stages where it's not officially done yet. If they can't 588 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 14: find a third team and this becomes a two team deal, 589 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 14: there will be pressure on the Wizards to just wave 590 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 14: Chris Paul. I think that would be a mistake because 591 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 14: if they waive Chris Paul, what do they gain from that? 592 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 5: Like saving a. 593 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 14: Few extra bucks because you don't have to give him 594 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 14: the full amount of his contract? 595 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 15: Does that really matter to ted Leonsis? 596 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 14: At this stage, Chris Paul will want the freedom to 597 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 14: choose a contender to go to this summer. I don't 598 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 14: blame him for that, but if I'm Washington, why not 599 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 14: bring him to training camp? 600 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 5: Why not bring him. 601 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 15: Into the startup next. 602 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 14: Season for the exact same reasons I said the Wizard 603 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 14: should have considered bringing Bradley Beale back. What do you 604 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 14: have to lose? Like you bring him in, maybe comes 605 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 14: in phenomenal shape, maybe helps you win a few games 606 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 14: in the first six weeks of the season, and then 607 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 14: maybe a team's out there that goes, wow, Chris Paul 608 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 14: can still play. Let's give you a protected first round 609 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 14: pick for him and a couple of expiring contracts to 610 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 14: get you there. I just don't see the upside for 611 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 14: Washington in just letting Chris Paul go. I mean, I 612 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 14: understand that teams like to do this to show their 613 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,959 Speaker 14: player friendly, to show that we'll work with you in 614 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 14: situations like this, but how often does that benefit teams 615 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 14: in the long term. I mean, I think Washington's got 616 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 14: to be looking out for Washington in this situation, and 617 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 14: if they think that bringing Chris Paul to camp might 618 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 14: be able to get them an asset in December or January, 619 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 14: they should do it. 620 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: Talking to Chris Mannix Sports Illustrated senior NBA writer, I'll 621 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,239 Speaker 2: leave you with this, what are the chances Victor won 622 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: by Yama isn't. 623 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 14: Great point zero zero zero one. I would say, you know, 624 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 14: I've got a chance to watch a lot of his 625 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 14: games this year on the NBA app. And by the way, 626 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 14: full credit to Victor Wembayama. In a basketball prospect landscape 627 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 14: where guys play as few games as possible before they 628 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 14: go into the NBA draft, Victor woman Yama's out there 629 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 14: like last week, you know, competing at the highest. 630 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 15: Level in his league. There's nothing he can't do. 631 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 8: Dan. 632 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 5: I mean, he's not a. 633 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 14: High percentage three point shooter just yet, but I mean 634 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 14: he's a teenager who already shoots high twenties from three 635 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 14: and is going to develop that part of his game, 636 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 14: and it's going to grow significantly over the next couple 637 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 14: of years. 638 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 15: I just think within two or three years, we're. 639 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 14: Going to be looking at a highly effective two way player, 640 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 14: and within three to five years we might be looking 641 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 14: at the most dominant player in the NBA. I just 642 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 14: think his skill set is that diverse, and his up 643 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 14: his ability to grow, like just the parts of his 644 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 14: game that can still develop, I think he's just going 645 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 14: to be really special. 646 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 2: Thank you, Chris, you got it, Dan, That's Chris Mannick, 647 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: senior writer for Sports Illustrated.

He says that not only have 668 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: the Lakers not pieced together how Kyrie Irving would fit 669 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 2: or how to make the cap space work for the 670 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 2: rest of the roster. They quote do not plan to 671 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 2: pursue Kyrie irving and free agency at all? Okay, they shouldn't, 672 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 2: but I'm trying to figure out who. I guess the 673 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 2: Sons were supposed to be interested in Kyrie. I mean, 674 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 2: who knows nowadays it's like, you know this team's interested. Okay, 675 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: Wizards question, Yeah, exactly Miami, Yes, Paul. 676 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 5: I do have a Victor when by on? How to 677 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 5: pronounce it? When Byama? When banyama? When Byama? Oh, the 678 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 5: end is silent when byama? 679 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 7: Okay, Victor's player comp want to play the Victor player 680 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 7: count game. I'm on a popular NBA draft website for 681 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 7: the draft, and this is a player comp that I 682 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 7: haven't heard too many times before. 683 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 2: Chad Holmgren No old player comp. 684 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 6: Yes, Mark, but it's easy, Strom Mile Swift. 685 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 5: Wow, not at all? Wow, older, older, older, older old. 686 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 5: He does say that he is really unique and there 687 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 5: aren't many player comps to even start with. George Gervin. 688 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 7: Ralph Sampson so much outside to end player seven foot four? Well, see, 689 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 7: I think they have a point, though, if Ralph Sampson 690 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 7: didn't get injured, the skill set is similar a seven 691 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,919 Speaker 7: to four guy who starts outside then goes inside, can 692 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 7: block shots, can shoot deep. Ralph Sampson was a good shooter, 693 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 7: actually one of the better three point shooters on his 694 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 7: team before. 695 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 5: He got injured. 696 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 7: We didn't take too many, No, not a lot, but 697 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 7: percentage wise, nobody took a lot back then. 698 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 5: Yeah. 699 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 2: Sean Bradley was like that too. He was seven to 700 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 2: six who could play outside, actually handle the ball, had 701 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 2: good touch, block shot. I I the expectations for victim 702 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 2: Wam Bayama are going to be through the roof. And 703 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: I think you got a caution. Well, I should say 704 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 2: this to the people who are hyping him. If Kobe 705 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: doesn't come in and you know, turn the league on 706 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 2: its ear and Kevin Garnett and some of these other 707 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 2: younger players. You know, I would compare him to Kevin Garnett. 708 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 2: Let him now he's playing against better competition because Garnett 709 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 2: came out of high school, but when Byama has been 710 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 2: playing against pros. But I just think getting into the league, 711 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 2: understanding the league, and you know, he's got to he's 712 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 2: got to use his body to his advantage, not have 713 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: his body used to a disadvantage because guys are going to, 714 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 2: you know, rough him up a little bit here. 715 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 5: But he's coming in as very young now. 716 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 2: I know Luca came in and I thought there's going 717 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 2: to be a transition period. He had been playing against pros, 718 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 2: and he looked like he had been playing against pros. 719 00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 5: He was ready for the contact. 720 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 2: But is a thick guy now he had the body 721 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 2: to play in the NBA right away. Victor rumbay Alma 722 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,880 Speaker 2: does it. But you're going to go to the Spurs 723 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 2: expectation level. You know, he's in a smaller market. You 724 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,720 Speaker 2: might get that gradual scent into being a playoff caliber 725 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 2: team or maybe an All Star player himself. 726 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 5: I'm just I'm tempering my expectations. 727 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:28,959 Speaker 6: Yes, Mark Opening Night Spurs at Lakers. The biggest hype players. 728 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 5: Since Lebron James. That's right? 729 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 2: Is that what you're calling?
