1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Tuesday,

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: August third. Now, we are recording this late Monday night,

4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: super late, but we could not record late enough to

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: get us a Spain quarterfinal Olympic basketball into the pod.

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: So when you get this on Tuesday morning, the US

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: could have lost. Okay, they might have. We'll have to

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: discuss it tomorrow. I'm doing on Disputed this week. Called

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: time is super early, so I could not do the

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: pod before Undisputed. All that being said, I did take

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: a little nibble of Spain twelve and a half. If

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: you lose, you lose. It's it's not a big no,

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: it's not a bank roll play. I think it'll be

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: a good game hopefully. Uh, it'll be a fun talk about. Um.

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to Luca versus the US in in

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: the final if that happens for the gold medal. Um.

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: But anyways, we'll talk about that tomorrow. Asked for Monday?

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: Was there a bigger Monday this summer? And sports news

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: folks from the Carson Wentz injury, uh foot surgery out

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: and you don't see this every day. It's not like

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: eight to twelve weeks. It was five to twelve weeks.

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: We don't know when it's gonna heal. That seems completely

23
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: optimistic five to twelve weeks. I mean, you've got guys

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: even saying, oh, he might be ready for the opener. Unlikely,

25
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: but maybe, like what that to me is the Colts

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: putting it out there that hey, we ain't going for

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: Nick Foles, We're not trading for Marcus Mariota, We're gonna

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: ride with Jacob Eieson, which it seems like a really,

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: really bad idea. But if you are like me and

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: you look at the Colts schedule, uh, good luck at

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season. Colts, remember they made the

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: playoffs last year. They're in a division that's not very good,

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: but the schedule is is not particularly easy for the Colts.

34
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I personally think they will struggle out of the gate.

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: They opened at home against Seattle, and as weird, I

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: was kind of down on Seattle and I started reading

37
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: I read The Football Outsiders from Aaron Chats, who was great,

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: of course on Monday's Pod, and they're kind of bullish

39
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: on Seattle, and there is some stuff that makes you

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: want to be bullish. Well, you know, I don't know

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: if I'm willing to bet the over um, but Seattle

42
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: is gonna be pretty good. So the Colts will be

43
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: underdogs against Seattle, will be underdogs against the Rams. They'll

44
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: be underdogs in Tennessee if they have Jacobson at quarterback.

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: So you're opening against three teams that made the playoffs,

46
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: then Miami and if, as if that four foursome wasn't

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: hard enough, Baltimore and Week five it is a Monday

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: night game in Baltimore, and oh yeah, that is the

49
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: third straight road game. So first five weeks, four of

50
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: the first five opponents made the playoffs. Folks, that they're

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: staring one and four in the face. And frankly, that's

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: with or without Carson Wentz. In my opinion, I personally,

53
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: I cannot express enough how much I like the Jags

54
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: to win that division. But the Carson Wentz injury. Listen, man,

55
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: this is a guy whose injury history is rich, dating

56
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: back to college Eagles. I mean, I'm out on the Colts. Sorry,

57
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm officially punting on them even of course, and Wentz

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: is ready for like week three. Like I just I

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: do not like this team. Now maybe they back into

60
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs at seven and ten because the division stinks.

61
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, I'm out out on the Colts and

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. All right, let's quickly move to NBA free agency.

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,560

Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. So there's so

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: much happening in the NBA Monday that I didn't know

68
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: if I should start with like the Miami Heat and

69
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry. I didn't know if I should start with

70
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the Lakers, who are gonna get fun nicknames, like I

71
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: know Rob G's favorite movie is Last Vegas. We might

72
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: just call this Last Lost Last Angel Lists, or like

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: the Golden Boys, you know, the Golden Girls because they

74
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: are all old dudes. I was on a couple of

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: text chains with guys making fun of the Lakers and

76
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: how old they are. Um. But actually I'm utterly fascinated

77
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: by the Pelicans losing a Lonzo ball and they don't

78
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: seem to torn up about it, and folks, Uh. It

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: got to the point that Bill Simmons, who I don't

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: really follow on social media, Uh, in any capacity actually, Um,

81
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: but somebody sent me a text that he joked that, Um,

82
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: he made some joke using the name John Cocktosen, which

83
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: is from the movie Fletch, that some se agent named

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: John Cocktosen says Zion is very unhappy and is leaving

85
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: like this is what we've been hammering away for months.

86
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Rob, I almost think dating back to like

87
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: the end of the bubble. What was it that far?

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you know, you want to get

89
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: in early on some stuff, and you want to get

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: in doge coin a little early, and you want to

91
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: get in Tesla early. We were way early on this

92
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: Scion disaster. Um, folks, they trade Anthony Davis to the Lakers,

93
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: they get, oh, they got a Lonzo, they got Ingram,

94
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: they got Josh Hard, they got they just lost Lonzo

95
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,799
Speaker 1: and replaced him with Davante Graham, and they also replaced

96
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: him with the Garrett Temple. Are you kidding me? It's

97
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: just what we're doing. Jonas valanciunas Zion brandon Ingram, Davante Graham,

98
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: Garrett Temple, and then some young guys from last year.

99
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: That's not a playoff team in the West. This is

100
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: not looking good for for Zio Wizzard and folks. I

101
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: don't see a path to him staying short of Bradley

102
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Beale and the Wizard starting in ten and David Griffin

103
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: say I'm willing to mortgage everything. Let's just dump everything.

104
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: Give me Bradley Beal will give you, Ingram will give

105
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: you whatever else you want that's not nailed down. Because again,

106
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: all these draft picks you've got, you can just cuddle

107
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: with them at night because they're gonna mount to nothing.

108
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: They are. The Lakers aren't going anywhere now that you

109
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: know they're hustles. But even if Lebron's out for a month,

110
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: you still got Russell Westbrook and a d Right. The

111
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: Lakers are not gonna be giving like a top ten

112
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: pick to the Pelicans. So this is just a total

113
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: train wreck for the New Orleans Pelicans and Zaia Williamson.

114
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: And we could just start the clock ticking Zion to

115
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the Knicks. Uh it feels inevitable. Um, I just I

116
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: don't see why he stays in New Orleans. And that

117
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: was my number one takeaway from free agency. There was

118
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: no like huge names that moved. We're all waiting for

119
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Portland to make a move to keep Dame Lillard like

120
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: Portland's resigns Norman Powell for way too much money. Oh okay,

121
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 1: so when does Dame like, how long does he wait

122
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: to make that decision that? Oh? I am ready to

123
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: get the hell out of Dodge. You guys. I told

124
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: you that. I saw Drew Holiday come to Milwaukee and

125
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: turn them from can't get over the hump to win

126
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 1: the championship. I said, go get somebody, and y'all got nobody.

127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: No disrespect to Norman Powell, who's a nice play here,

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: but you've got to be disappointed if you're Dame. I

129
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: think the Miami Heat are good if if you're asking

130
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: me my pecking order in the East Brooklyn Nets. Obviously

131
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: they got the big three healthy number two Miami Heat.

132
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: The Miami Heat will now be able to trot out

133
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: a defensive trio of Kyle Lowry, who at thirty five

134
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: is what he is offensively, but defensively man, he is

135
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: a based Kyle Lowry is a beast defensively. I saw

136
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: the stat last I think it's five seasons the players

137
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: taking the most charges as Kyle Lowry. And if you're

138
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: a dew Jeopardy Trivia Number two is Kemba Walker Stunner.

139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: I was stunned, um, and then you got Jimmy Butler,

140
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: and then you got Bam out of Bio and they

141
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: were able to keep Duncan Robinson. By the way, Duncan Robinson,

142
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: what a story. I think he got five and nineties

143
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: so he got eighteen million year. This guy was playing

144
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Division three basketball until like heaven and the Stars and

145
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: the moon aligned and he land it in Michigan's lap.

146
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: He went from D three to Michigan. He wasn't even

147
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: one of the best players on the Michigan's team, undrafted

148
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: n B A and he's making eighteen million dollars a year.

149
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: That is the American success story, honestly. I mean obviously

150
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: six ft seven or whatever, so is that like a

151
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: Steph Curry success story? But really really proud of Duncan Robinson.

152
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: I think they overpaid him, but still a team mill

153
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: hey man, get that paper. And they kept Tyler Hero.

154
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: They got Kendricks second to none awesome um. Awesome nickname

155
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: that I kind of came up with her stole from

156
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: a boxer. UM, But I I like that. I think

157
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: the heat or second I think the Bucks, the defending champs,

158
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: will be third. They lost p J. Tucker, not easily replaceable,

159
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: good role player. Um And I think just the nature

160
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: of that long run, the just exhausted uh holiday in

161
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Middleton at the Olympics, Like, I see the Bucks falling

162
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: back a little bit. Um And I don't know if

163
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm ready, Rob, Is this too hot of a take

164
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: or can the chic I'll go Bulls leap up to

165
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: fourth in the East. I mean, I know Atlanta is

166
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: still there and the Knicks are good. The Knicks. By

167
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: the way, the Knicks gave Evan fort I think seventy

168
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: eight million dollars, Is that right, Rob? Yeah, seventy eight

169
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: million for Evan four So basically goes to the Celtics.

170
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: He can't do Jack squat. He goes to the Olympics,

171
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: looks awesome, beats the US. The Knicks back up the

172
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: brinks for Evan. Now, I don't know, he doesn't play

173
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: a lot of d so we'll see what happens with

174
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: him in Thibodeau. But the Knicks are a strong contender

175
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: for four. Um who seventy sixers. We'll see what happens

176
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: with Ben Simmons they're probably still a top four team.

177
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're getting for Simmons Um. Yeah,

178
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I have to put Chicago in

179
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: the mix, probably not for four, more like five six,

180
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: but a Lonzo ball Um, Alex Caru Show, who they

181
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: stole from the Lakers. Listen, we'll get to the Lakers

182
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: in a minute. Alex Caruz Show is a nice edition.

183
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: He is one of the best defensive guards in the

184
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: That's not an exaggeration. You got Alonzo Caru Show, Zach Levine,

185
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: the kid, Pat Williams, who has a pretty who had

186
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good rookie year. I think there's the pieces there.

187
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Billy Donovan the head coach. I think they can. They'll

188
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: definitely be a playoff team. I think Orlando is probably

189
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: contending for a playoff spot. Obviously you can't forget about Atlanta.

190
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: But East got a little better rob before we moved

191
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: to the Lakers. Any thoughts on h Kyle Lowry and

192
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Evan Fournier and all these Eastern teams, Well, let me

193
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: first start off with the Pelicans. You know you have

194
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: take about about Zion just just to give it's not

195
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: that hard, but let me just give some context to

196
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: America and what they're you know, they let Alonzo Ball

197
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: go for nothing basically because they got Saturanski a second

198
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: round pick playing the Olympics. He's not nothing, okay's solid player.

199
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: And they compounded that by trading a first round pick

200
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: to Charlotte for DeVante Graham or you know, if you

201
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: look at just a statue, like, oh, you he's a

202
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: good player. He's not bad. You know, he's like eighteen

203
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: and seven that last year before LaMelo Ball got there,

204
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: and then you dave a little deeper and you're like, oh,

205
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: he's a career thirty six percent shooter, thirty six He

206
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: punched above his weight class last year, and last year

207
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: he shot thirty seven percent from the field, the worst

208
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: by any player with at least six and fifty attempts. Yeah, yeah,

209
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: good luck to uh my man David Griffin, who, again

210
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: because he's smiles and he's good with the media, continues

211
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: to get a free pass. Yeah. I think the move is,

212
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: you get a GM job. Once you get fired, you

213
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: go to ESPN, you befriend all the reporters and then

214
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: they're never going to criticize you because you're a super

215
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: nice guy. Right, of course, absolutely. Uh, David Griffin is

216
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: totally botching this completely, and we we should have been

217
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: on top. I mean we were on top of this early,

218
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: but nationally as a sports media culture should have been

219
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: on this a couple of weeks ago when Jake Fisher

220
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: was again to the friend of the show, we had

221
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: him on here. A couple of weeks go. He mentioned

222
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: in a column and bleacher Report explaining the behind the

223
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: scenes what led to Willie Green getting hired in New

224
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: Orleans as the head coach, and in it he says

225
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: that jacque Vaughan, who was the assistant with the nets,

226
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: was the front runner. He was going to get the

227
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: job until David Griffin says, I want to have a

228
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: say on who gets what kind of playing, who the

229
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: starters are, because in his mind, Kira Lewis and the

230
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: cal Alexander Walker where the point where the guard backcourt

231
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: of the future. So we should have known then that

232
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: this was going to go down really, really poorly. But

233
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: even then I don't think we expected it to go

234
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: down the way that just brutal. I feel bad for

235
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Zion um And and honestly, like Walker is is a

236
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: nice young player, Lewis is a solid young player, but again,

237
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: like they're not getting you to the playoffs, Like I

238
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: don't even know if they can produce like Cameron Payne

239
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: did in the playoffs, do you. I'm just talking in

240
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: like the regular season of pains like a six year veteran,

241
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: like he's been around the block. It's tough to win

242
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: with twenty year olds in the NBA. It just is difficult. Yeah,

243
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: no doubt, no doubt. And the shifting over to the East.

244
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: I think you're a little higher on Miami than I am.

245
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: I do like their defensive abilities with with Lowry and

246
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler and p J. Tucker. I don't think even

247
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: mentioned they got p J Tucker. Yeah, that's nice, and

248
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: he's he's they're gonna try to make him there Ja

249
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: Crowder right, Yeah, but I think that they're just gonna

250
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: try to win games like in the nineties, and that's

251
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna win you a lot of games. Is going to

252
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 1: be successful, kind of like the Knicks word in the

253
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: regular season. But I don't feel comfortable with their offensive

254
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: firepower going up against Brooklyn or or Milwaukee. And if

255
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: your Miami, your goal is to win a championship with

256
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: that roster, because they already locked in the Jimmy Butler

257
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: max extension until he's like thirty seven. So yeah, I

258
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: don't know if I if I like, here's the problem

259
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: with Miami rob Like everybody wants to say, Oh, they

260
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: just got swept by the Bucks. They stink. People forget

261
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: they beat the Bucks in the bubble. They then went

262
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: to the finals. They had they were exhausted, and you

263
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: could see it from their play all season long. They

264
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: never got really their act together. They couldn't get their

265
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: legs back. Butler was totally gassed. I mean, go look

266
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: at his heroic performances in the finals. Dragics was hurt. Uh.

267
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: They just they never got you know, healthy, And I'm

268
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: not surprised they got blasted. Like an idiot, I thought

269
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: they heave had a chance, but I clearly was not

270
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: aware of how exhausted they were. I think they will

271
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: be immensely better than they were this past year. Significantly better. Well,

272
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean that's a low bar considering and they got

273
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: racked by COVID and they had struggled just to get

274
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: into the playoffs there at the end. Um, I'd like

275
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: to see what they do with the rest of the roster.

276
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to pass judgment too quickly because you

277
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: brought up Kendrick. Now, I don't think he's gonna be there.

278
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: They where's he going? Well, they don't have the money

279
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: to keep him nless, it's gonna stay for a veteran

280
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: minimum contract and it's tough. I don't think it's tough

281
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: to leave that Miami lifestyle, that tax thing like unless

282
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: we saw and we'll get to the Lakers in a second.

283
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: Know everybody's waiting for the Lakers because we have a

284
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: lot of fans here in Los Angeles who listened to

285
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: the pod um. Just be patient. It's coming. But if

286
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: you're Kendrick Nunn. I even said, if you're Kemba Walker,

287
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: you know you've made a mill in your career. If

288
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: you Kemba, do you say you know what? I kind

289
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: of want to win this year. I'm not gonna play

290
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: a lot. I'll come off the bench, I'll raise my

291
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: stock out, my body will recome back to normal because

292
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: I've been hammered by injuries. You know, Kemba was burnt

293
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: out in Charlotte. They ran him into the ground for

294
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: who for what? And now you know, maybe ke Kemba

295
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: takes more or takes less to go somewhere. I don't

296
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: know that's a possibility. Um I I don't know if

297
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: none will do the same. Because he's, you know, much

298
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: younger player. He's probably looking to just get paid. I'm

299
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: sure he could get close to the mid level from

300
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: somebody because he's a good young player. But I that

301
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: actually a dovetail two. I think is the biggest loser,

302
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: one of the biggest losers of Night one of free agency,

303
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: and that's soon to be former Laker Dennis Shrewder. Once

304
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: that New Orleans deal went down and Devonte Graham took

305
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: up that big chunk of money, Dennis Shrewder like whoever

306
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: was advising least guys, Hey, you're gonna be able to

307
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: get twenty plus million dollars on the on the market,

308
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: be patient should get fired. Was it Shrewder's agent or

309
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: was it Struder who rejected the lakers eighty four million

310
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: dollar deal. I wouldn't. Well, then his his agent needs

311
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: to be honest with him and say, hey, I don't

312
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: know if you can get that on the open market. Well,

313
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: the problem is, you know, Shooter was on the Lakers.

314
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: They saw what other guys like k CP had done,

315
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: and they were probably like, man, you can get paid.

316
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: But where they miscalculated was, oh, Anthony Davis is gonna

317
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: get hurt and then Dennis Shooder will shoot his pants

318
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: in Game four, I think he was over nine and

319
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes or whatever, remember that game. Totally irrelevant.

320
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: He was he looked at the moment was too big

321
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: for him. And now Shrewder, You're right, he I don't

322
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: know where he gets any money. Who who's paying him?

323
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he can't come back to the Lakers because

324
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: the Lakers, I think they've already decided they want him.

325
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: So does he take a one year, mid level, nine

326
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: million dollar contract to prove it? But where where can

327
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: you prove it? That's that That's the only issue. It's like, jeez,

328
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: you look around at the standings and you're like, point

329
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: guard is the most I mean, honestly, guys, A Lonzo

330
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: Ball is not a top fifteen point guard in the

331
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: league and he got twenty one mill from the Bulls. Now,

332
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how much is this is his agent

333
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: just bending Chicago over and just saying, hey, take this,

334
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: but I'm stunned, frankly, twenty one million dollars Robert, that's

335
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: to me is the biggest stunner. I mean, I like

336
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: getting him. I like the addition. Um, I just you know,

337
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: a Lonzo and Caruso is something in the back court.

338
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: But do you have zach Lavine? Like I don't know

339
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: where the minutes are coming from. But that's that's not

340
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: my mess. Um, what about Indiana? Is there any way

341
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: Indiana looking to maybe save money, tries to get off

342
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: Brogden and does something for Lakers could really use Malcolm Brogdon. Yeah,

343
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: but I don't know if you're going to be able to.

344
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean, brock is only making eighteen million, so it's

345
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: not like it's shreds he wants. So I don't know

346
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: if that works. I mean, you brought up Keimba Walker.

347
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the deal where you say, hey, two years

348
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: fifty million for Shrewder and you give us back to Okay,

349
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: there the two year seventy million left of Kemba, Like

350
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: we'll take the lesser of your problems kind of thing.

351
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: Colin Sexton, is there an appetite for that? Well, they

352
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: just got Ricky Rubio, so it's like, I don't I

353
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: don't know where he can end up. I mean aside

354
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma City. But they already have uh. Like you said,

355
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: they got Kemba and they also have Shay. You'll just

356
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: Alexander uh. And again Shrewder can be difficult. You know,

357
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: he's had. When you're on bouncing around multiple teams, there's

358
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: a reason that people aren't keeping you. All right, Let's

359
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: get to the Lakers, rob. Fox Sports Radio has the

363
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: They went and grabbed Dwight Howard, which everybody saw coming.

364
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: No surprise there. They grabbed Trevor area'sa another non surprise,

365
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: But the other two were I thought pretty nice guests.

366
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: Wayne Ellington, former North Carolina player, I I didn't realize

367
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: he was so old. He's turning thirty four in November.

368
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: And Kent Baysmore, who um, didn't he have a beef

369
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: with Bradley Beale last year? Yeah, I think something happened

370
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: with baseball. Is a very likable guy. Um by all

371
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: accounts like he's a nice wing. Uh. Wayne Ellington's solid.

372
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: He ranked twenty eight among shooting guards in defensive real

373
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: plus minus. Like that's I was stunned to see that. Now,

374
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: Malik Monk, another shooting guard, ranked a hundred fift out

375
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: of a hundred sixteen Wayne Ellington, that's what you get

376
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: with a veteran Malik Monka, young guy, you don't play

377
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: no d By the way, if you're wondering who was

378
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: dead last among shooting guards, def it's a real plus minus.

379
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Porter, the young kid who was dynamic and the

380
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: Rockets think is their future. Yeah. Anyways, um, personally, you know, Rob,

381
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: it sounds good. And then when you somebody sent me

382
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: a link I'm sorry, not a link, but like an

383
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: image of the Lakers roster and I posted on my

384
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: i G stories And if you look at it and

385
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: you're like, holy shit, what what this is the roster?

386
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Rob, I'm just gonna prattle off the names

387
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: for your guards, Russ, Wayne Ellington, Austin Reeves, Joel i

388
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: E the latter two rookies forwards Lebron A d Trevor,

389
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: Ariza Horton, Tucker Alfonso McKinney, centers Dwight Howard, Mark Gussole.

390
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: This is an ancient team. Now, we all know that

391
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: Lebron likes old guys to win with That's how we

392
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: want in Cleveland, That's how we wanted. You need those veterans.

393
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: You can't play with young rookies. I I don't know why.

394
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: I probably, I don't know how pleasing on the eye.

395
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be after the top three guys, who's

396
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: your fourth best player? Th h t a Ellington? It

397
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: can't be right Mellington. He's never been the fourth best

398
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: player at the NBA team ever. They would probably have.

399
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean in terms of just being the best, they

400
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: probably have to be th h t extremely limited guests,

401
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: all barely. You know, he was a liability bit in

402
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We know what's white Howard is you know,

403
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: six baby mamas and you know six blocks a game

404
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Um Aresa is old and you know,

405
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: kind of had a rough run last year. Rob This

406
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: team has a lot of just the only thing that

407
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: jumps out to me is they're ancient. Like this is

408
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna be by far the oldest team in the league.

409
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way around that. There there's

410
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: no way. I saw a statu esp N. I think

411
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Sports and Info or News and Info said that This

412
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: will be the oldest team in Lakers franchise history, kind

413
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: of stunning. Are they still the best in the West?

414
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah. I mean let me let me

415
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: just start off by saying this. I think that the

416
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: way that this roster is built right now, as constructed,

417
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: is a better fit than what they had last season. Well,

418
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: but team was more talented Shrewder, Harold and who was

419
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: the other guy they picked up in free agency, Wes Matthews,

420
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: who may or may not come back, so we don't know,

421
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: but another another fossil, But it was it was clear

422
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: then that when they got the Shredder and Tres specifically

423
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: that those were made for the regular season. You know

424
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: it's going to be a compressed year. We wanted to

425
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: keep the miles down on Lebron in a D and

426
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: so that was what the idea was. Didn't work out.

427
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: This team, even for all their age, has a clear

428
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: idea in mind how they want to be built. It's

429
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Lebron Russ creating for every buddy. A D is the

430
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: only guy who plays defense basically, and he's the big

431
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: finisher and everybody else is just a spot up shooter.

432
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: And that's what they're planning to do um. That being said,

433
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: the way the roster is being built, you mentioned it's

434
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: very old. It's part of the curse that is GM Lebron.

435
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: And when I say that, you know he got a championship,

436
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: so it's hard to really knock it. But everywhere Lebron

437
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: James goes, he leaves it in a terrible place once

438
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: he leaves, because when he's on your roster, draft picks

439
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: don't matter, young players don't matter, cap space doesn't matter.

440
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: So you are going to mortgage your future every single time.

441
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: And it's fitting now that with this current Lakers team

442
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: that we have, and I don't think they're gonna get

443
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: any young players going forward. The only asset that they

444
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: have left since Lebron showed up, they traded all their

445
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: picks ray D. All the young guys are pretty much

446
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: gone now. The Carusoe's out, Kuzma was out. Their only

447
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: asset is a fellow Clutch Sports client. I don't think

448
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: that's a coincidence, HM. So if I don't don't, right,

449
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 1: you know what comes with it, Spotlight, National TV Games,

450
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: Championship parade, That's what comes with it. The Heat took

451
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: that chance. He left them in ruins he got back

452
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: to the finals a few years later, calves they're not

453
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: going back anytime soon. But before Lebron they had never

454
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: sniffed the finals. Right, Um, that did Brad Doherty and

455
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: Larry Nancy even get and Mark Price even get him

456
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: to the conference finals? I don't know, So, like I

457
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: think you make that trade off. Listen, before Lebron got there,

458
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers had I think the five the worst five

459
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: year stretch in the history of the Lakers franchise. That

460
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: is correct, So like I'm making that trade any day

461
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: of the week. I did just look this up. Rob

462
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: Wayne Ellington in his career has played for eames, including

463
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Did you I I didn't know that. Yes.

464
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: Fun fact, everybody that they have signed as of eleven

465
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: forty five pm Eastern we're recording this is a former

466
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: Laker Kent Baysmore, Dwight Howard, Wayne Ellington, and Trevor reason More.

467
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: Did he play games former Lakers? Yes? So another word

468
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: on Ellington, He's made forty five million in salary in

469
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: his career. That I know. That sounds like a lot

470
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: when you take away the agent and taxes you're looking at,

471
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: you know, twenty mail over Uh, ten years. Yeah, twenty

472
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: mail over like ten eleven years. But here's what and

473
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: we talked about this with the Jared Dudley factor. When

474
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: you come to l A lad in your career, if

475
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: you are savvy, you can get yourself on TV. Hey,

476
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: let's bring in Laker Wayne Ellington. He's doing a TV spot.

477
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: Then you go on some podcasts, you get your media chops.

478
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh look, there's an FS one studio gig. Do you

479
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: want to come in and talk about the Lakers? Do

480
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: you want to go to ESPN and talk about I mean, like,

481
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: the opportunities out here can lead to a post career

482
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: that involves in the media. I mean, James Worthy is

483
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: out here in l A doing the games for Spectrum.

484
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: He's the local guy. I mean, you can find a

485
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: bunch of former Lakers in the media out here in

486
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: l A. Like, that's the move. And if you're Wayne Ellington,

487
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: who shot from three, by the way, on six attempts, again,

488
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty awesome. That's the best mark of his career

489
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: outside of but he only shot one a game. Um Like,

490
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: I think this is a smart move for Ellington. I

491
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: think there's a smart move for the Lakers. Um I

492
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: still think the Lakers are firmly the team to beat

493
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: in the West. I just I don't. I can't put

494
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: them above the nets. Right now, that being said, Rob,

495
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: you know our guy Cuffs, right? Yes? Yes, I was nodding.

496
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Did you see what he put out there

497
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter? I had to text him immediately and ask like, listen, dude,

498
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: I got I gotta and I'm not gonna put his

499
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: business out there, but I will read the tweet for

500
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: you because it came out of nowhere in the middle

501
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: of free agency, and it was like, okay, what alright?

502
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: So here's his Here's what Cuff said. And remember this

503
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: is the guy who's plugged in. He came on this

504
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: pod talked about Russell Westbrook over a month ago. Okay,

505
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: this was early on in the right, right after free

506
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: agency started. Okay, Cuffs the legend a k. Should we

507
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: say his name on here? Probably not, Nope, He's very clear.

508
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: He's known as Cufs, the legend um Cuffs. The legend

509
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: said burning sage won't save the Brooklyn Nets from what's

510
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: about to happen. Okay, listen, I'm not gassing up Cuffs.

511
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. Uh. He obviously very plugged in

512
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: very much to the NBA. We know that there's no

513
00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: denying it. From Save the brook Glynnett's from about what's

514
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: what's about to happen? So burning stage is a Kyrie thing?

515
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: What's going on with Kyrie? I don't know. I know

516
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: he's donating and and and doing some nice things in

517
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: the community, no doubt about it. But I do wonder

518
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: what's going on with Kyrie Irving. Where's his mindset? Is

519
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: he pissed that he's always hurt? Is he thinking about

520
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: an early retirement? Is he unhappy with the James Harden,

521
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant triumvirat. I don't know, but something clearly is

522
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: going on in Brooklyn. Uh. They did lose Jeff Green.

523
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: Did you see that? Rob Sneaky sneak? I mean, he

524
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: was like one of their probably their best culture guy.

525
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Veteran listening to the coach, I told you, I know

526
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: guys out here. Steve Nash used to live in my neighborhood.

527
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: Nash favorite player on the team last year was Jeff Green. Um,

528
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: this Jeff Green is a loss? Uh? I don't I

529
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, all right, Rob Quick, Uh take away

530
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: any thoughts on the Slippers who didn't really do much.

531
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: And there was a story that came out from Ramona

532
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Shelbourne about the problem where in twenty nineteen, Russell Westbrook

533
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: called Kawai Leonard and said, let's teeb up in l A.

534
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: Before Kauai picked the Clippers. Kauai turned around and called

535
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: Paul George pretty dirty. Um. You know, Kauai is one

536
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: of these quiet dudes, and you do you really got

537
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: It's like, what is it? I forget what the exact

538
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: saying is, but you've got to be worried about the

539
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: quiet dude. He's the guy who's gonna like sucker punch

540
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: you or pull a gun or whatever. The quiet guy.

541
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: You always be afraid of them. They're crazy. Something's going on.

542
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: That's a pretty dirty move from Kawhi Leonard. It's pretty

543
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: clear that Russell Westbrook has been itching to get back

544
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: here since then. Can you imagine that Rob Russ was

545
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: an m VP candidate, he won an m v P.

546
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: He's averaging a triple double. He calls Kawai and says, yo,

547
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: what's up, let's do this. Kau I was like, okay,

548
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: don't think about it, and he just goes and calls

549
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: up Paul George and said he was like, Yo, come

550
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: on out here. Now. I wonder if he said, hey,

551
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: Russ called me, but I want I want you? Do

552
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: you cou? I could not have done that, do you Well,

553
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: that's pretty much the way it was reported. Um, let

554
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: me just say this two quick thoughts on that. Number One,

555
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: You notice that even though Chris Haynes, who was very

556
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: plugged in, said that Kauai plan on meeting with other

557
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: teams when free agency started because he's technically a free agent,

558
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: not a single team with cap space met with Kawhi Leonard.

559
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: So I think number one that tells you that they

560
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna resign. But number two, I think that

561
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: story that Ramona Sheldon put out where he's like, hey,

562
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: we'd love to meet with you about Russell Westbrook and

563
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and he goes around and uses that

564
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: to his advantage to get what he really wants. So

565
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: I could see other teams like, why would we want

566
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: to give our pitch to Kawhi Leonard. No, he's just

567
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: gonna resign and then tell them exactly what our plans are.

568
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two, this might be an unpopular opinion.

569
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: But I think Kai made a mistake picking Paul George

570
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: of Russell Westbrook. Uh, Paul George is the more efficient player.

571
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: He's a very good player. Yeah, I'm not just saying

572
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: because Russell westberge on the Lakers. I think what Kawhi

573
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: Leonard is missing is what Russell Westbrook has where you

574
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: need that emotional leader on your team, and Kauai is

575
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: just not that. That's not what his forte is. Paul

576
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: George as absolutely not that. We saw plenty of reports

577
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: that last seasons or us be two seasons ago Clippers

578
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: team where they were just laughing at him in the

579
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: locker room, were trying to give the rob Ros speech

580
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: because on what took him seriously? So, I think that's

581
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: not it. That's not your worst take that for him. Yeah,

582
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: Russ offers some sort of leadership, Paul George less. So

583
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: now you could argue with another star, does Russ offered

584
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: that leadership? I don't know that there's evidence of that,

585
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: but so low Yeah sure. Um So, just before we

586
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: put this to bed, here are six names that the

587
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: Lakers up apparently are in the mix for to fill

588
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: out their roster. Carmelo Anthony point shooter last year, although

589
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: it sounds like he's trying to get more money and

590
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, claiming he may go somewhere else as well.

591
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: Danny Green, who was jettisoned after the bubble Um JJ Reddick.

592
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: I think I've heard there's zero chance he's coming to

593
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Uh, Patty Mills. The Lakers apparently have competition

594
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: for him Golden State, someone else is looking at him.

595
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: This one's interesting. Lou Williams from three. We know he's

596
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: an l A guy. I mean, I'm sure he likes

597
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta and the and the strip clubs down there. I

598
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: wonder is he I don't want to say a problem,

599
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: but you know, Lou Williams kind of like does his

600
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: own thing. You know, pretty pretty messed up. If you

601
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: dump Montras Harrold and then bring over Lou will they

602
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: were like best buddies. The six guy would be Rudy

603
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: Gay three point shooter. Um. I think if the Lakers

604
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: get one or two of those guys, that's a huge win.

605
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they have any chance for JJ Reddick.

606
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you think Danny Green would want

607
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: to come back here after his exit? Oh? Whatcent? I

608
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: think he would want to. I think, you know, the

609
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: chance to win the championship would be too much of

610
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: the past. Up. I think he's gonna end up being

611
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: staying in Philadelphia though, because they got the most money

612
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: they can offer him. Rudy Gay is interesting. Um remember

613
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: how good he was? Yeah, Rudy Gay was incredible coming

614
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: out of Yukon. He was. Yeah. I'm surprised he uh

615
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: he had he know, I mean, I guess he had injuries,

616
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: but I'm surprised he was never like a superstar. Why

617
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: don't you guess this, Rob, But we'll close out on this.

618
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: How many All Star Games has Rudy Gay made in

619
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: his career? Zero? Damn? How did you know that? Because

620
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: he's played in the Western Conference most of his career.

621
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 1: He made the All Rookie Team. He was the number

622
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: eight overall pick in two thousand and six, and he

623
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: made zero All Star Games. And he would be my

624
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: choice of those six guys if I had to choose one. Well,

625
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: he's a wing, he's a long three D guy. I

626
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: don't I would considered. I think Patty knows it better.

627
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: That draft was pretty checker. Two thousand six, barn Janni

628
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: went first LaMarcus aldre join second, Adam Morrison, Tyris Thomas out,

629
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: Sheldon Williams from Duke. Oh my gosh, Brandon Roy, he

630
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: was really good. Randy Foyer. I don't know if I

631
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: told you guys the story about how I covered a

632
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: playoff game. Uh, and when I was covering high schools

633
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: in New Jersey and this team I was covering in Passaic,

634
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: New Jersey, pretty sketchy area. Um, they made this run

635
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: to the state championship. I'm pretty sure they lost in

636
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: the state championship. But along the way they're play facing

637
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: this team from Newark East Side and all I've been

638
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: hearing and again this is like you know, way back

639
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: in like two thousands, two or three, like Internet was

640
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: in its infancy. Oh man, this guy, Randy Foyer is

641
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: gonna be big time. He's going to Villa Nova. And

642
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: I get to the game and I'm like, oh, he's

643
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: not that big. He dunked in the first quarter and

644
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, this guy's I mean again,

645
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't look huge, and he just rose up on

646
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: a fast break and dunked, and I was just like wow,

647
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: Because again I'm I'm covered high schools in New Jersey

648
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: and like, yeah, there were some dunks, but not many.

649
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: And for this guy to do it early and see

650
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: the bounce. Um, And he was an awesome player, but

651
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: his team wasn't very good and they lost. Randy Foyer

652
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: had a pretty nice college run and a really nice

653
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: NBA career at any rate. Back to the two thousand

654
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: six draft, Patrick O'Briant ninth to the Warriors, Mohammed Sen

655
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: a number ten, J J. Reddick Elevin not the strongest draft. Um, yeah,

656
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: Rudy Gay, Yeah, we'll see alright. So anyway, that does

657
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: it for the pod tonight. Um, We're gonna have a

658
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: lot tomorrow. I'm sure there's a lot more interesting stuff happening.

659
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 1: By the way, NFL news is starting to come fast

660
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: and furious that Carson went story fascinating stuff. I don't

661
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see any uh any other quarterback moves. Um,

662
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: although the Nick Foles lobbying to get two Indie was fascinating.

663
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: If you guys search out that clip, I put it

664
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: on my Twitter page that basically Nick Fole was like,

665
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: come get me, I'm playing with third stringers. That's like

666
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: the code that he was basically saying it was crazy.

667
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: August August, I mean he is, He's definitely thirsty. August

668
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: is here. It's football. We got some Olympics left um

669
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: and of course NBA free agency. It's fun and catch

670
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: beyond undisputed again today. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow
