WEBVTT - 11/05/20 HOUR 2- Matt Maiocco 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.160 Sports Radio. Welcome to the program already in progress. How 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:10.760 we're two on this Thursday Dan and the Dane's Stan 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:14.520 Patrick Show. We question why this game is being played tonight? 0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:17.840 The Packers in forty nine ers and maybe not move 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.560 to Sunday. We've done it before on a Thursday night game. 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.160 I'd like to see these teams as close to full 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:27.160 strength as possible. Obviously, the Niners have had more injuries 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.560 or lost players to more games due to injury than 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.000 any other team, and one hundred and twenty four not 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.560 even close. Next closest I think of the Philadelphia Eagles, 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.880 but you have this game coming up tonight. Packers don't 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:44.599 have running backs, the Niners don't have wide receivers, and 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.600 green Bay goes in. Green Bay used the rebounds after 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.839 they lose a game, and after losing to Minnesota, you 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:54.360 would expect them to win. What happens if they don't 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:57.480 win tonight? What happens if the Niners continue to run 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.800 the football at the Green Bay Packers. This was one 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.880 of those games where you looked at Thursday night and 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.919 Thursday Night became really attractive this week when the season 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.440 started because you got a rematch of the NFC title game. 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.720 The Packers are favored by seven against the Niners. We'll 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:18.880 check in with the Niners coming up. Phone calls always welcome. 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.200 H seven seven three D P Show Email address DP 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.840 at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handled DP show. Say 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.640 good morning to Peacock. They carry all three hours of 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.360 this program and we're part of the Fox Sports radio lineup. 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.880 McLevin at the end of last hour said, interesting poll results. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.360 I asked the question should this game be played tonight? 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.319 I'm going to guess that America once this game played tonight. McLevin, 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.160 you are correct. Seventy eight percent say yes. But I 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.160 agree with you. It's not fair you're not seeing the 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.520 real Niners. Well, I think if you're an NFL fan, 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.800 you're saying I'd rather see a watered down version of 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.000 these two teams than no football tonight. Now, you do 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.400 have college football tonight Utah State, Nevada, Wyoming, and Colorado State. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.560 But if I would like to see both of these 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.080 teams as close to full strength as possible, you're you've 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:11.560 lost some marquee players. You know, Garoppolo is not going 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.120 to be playing due to an ankle injury and not 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.359 going to be playing for quite some time. But I 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.960 would like to if if it meant moving to Sunday 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:24.320 or Monday, would that be a more fair approach to 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.240 this game? That That would be the only question I 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.280 had for the NFL. Yes, poet, as mclems say, it's 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.040 not fair. It's not fair to the Niners, are not 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.520 fair to us as consumers. I don't think it's fair 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.520 to either team. Like the Packers are going out there 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.520 without any running back. But their their behavior, their decisions 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.359 got them to where they are, or whatever they did 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.519 wrong or right, you know, into what the protocols got 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.240 them to where they are. They're both in the same boat. Well, 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.600 it doesn't mean that you were doing something they shouldn't 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.440 have done. You could have come in contact with somebody 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.679 here and it's not your fault. No, But I'm saying 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.440 that they they you know, the NFL is being fair 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.440 to those two teams and scheduling when they are. They're 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.480 both in a jam. It's not like there's not an 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.320 offensive lineman to be had. Well, why did they move 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.600 the Patriots game a couple of weeks ago? I think 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.440 they had more flexibility a couple of weeks ago, and 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:10.480 mclevann's in the first hour. They don't want to get 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.639 two backed up here if they don't have to. Yeah, McClellan, 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.799 I think it's it's night and day. The difference for 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.680 the Niner who cares about running back. It's twenty twenty NFL. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.640 I feel like the Packers are much less handicapped the Niners. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.240 They know no receivers. Trent Williams is out and they're 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.040 already without their started quarterback and the best players George Kittle. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.280 It's a disaster. Yeah, I just think it's a bad 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.080 look for the NFL. The NFL wants to put a 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.320 good product out there, not hey, we're just gonna Hey, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:40.440 let's test Americans see if they'll watch any kind of football. Yep, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.160 they did, And that's what's gonna happen tonight. Bass Pro 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.320 Shops Cabella's your flannel destination for the whole family this fall. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.120 You go in, they you know, when you go in 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.800 and you buy a Christmas tree, they got all the 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.760 Christmas trees stacked up. That's what it feels like when 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.800 you go into bass Pro Shops, all of the flannel 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:04.000 that's there, It's like a forest of flannels. Yes, and 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.520 you go in there now Flannel Fest at retail locations 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.640 across North America. Shop the current flannel deals in store 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:17.599 or online. This caught my attention. Sham's Sharania. He is 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.479 a great NBA insider. He says that quote. I'm told 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:26.159 Philadelphia is expected to be interested in and pursue James Harden. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:33.599 Now there's a report that Harden moving from Houston, or 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.960 Houston would move on from him, is currently a non starter. 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.560 And then I started to think, well, you're not going 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.400 to get hardened Ben Simmons and Joe lmb if you're Houston. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:49.160 And I said, you could have Ben Simmons and throw 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:55.680 in somebody else for James Harden. Would you do that, Philadelphia? 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.599 I get why they would want to do this, But 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.760 Doc Rivers just got there, and I thought all along, 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.800 Doc just wanted to see those two together, Ben Simmons, 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.200 Joe l embiid and see what they could do with 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:13.839 that roster. Now they're in cap purgatory because I think 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.880 Tobias Harris makes almost as much as James Harden does. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:23.320 That's a problem. Tobias Harris nice player. James Harden is 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.040 a first ballot Hall of Famer. Now, if you said 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.960 I could trade Tobias Harris for James Harden, I would 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.440 do that right now. But you got to dump some 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.000 salary here. You got Al Horford at a hundred million. 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.159 I forgot about that. Yes, yes, the Al Horford deal. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:47.120 But if I if I'm Doc Rivers and I could 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:55.920 bring James Harden to the East with Joe lmbid. It's 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.920 weird because when you play with Harden, you watch hard 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.640 a lot, and I don't know if Joe lmbiad is 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:07.000 going to be keen on that Ben Simmons doesn't shoot. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.000 It almost feels like Ben Simmons and James Harden. To me, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:16.160 makes more sense. One shoots, one doesn't. One is a slasher. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.080 I mean, Ben Simmons can get to the rim. He's 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.840 a good defensive player. I would get rid of Joe 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.120 lmbiid and I would keep Ben Simmons if I could 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.800 get James Harden. Now, I don't know if Houston went 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.960 to entertained that. If I'm Houston, we're not gonna win anything, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.440 But you know we still have a team that people 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.600 are interested in watching. James Harden is must see TV. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.240 The problem is you can't trade Russell Westbrook Junior the 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:49.240 third because that contract and his age. He still can't shoot. 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.039 And in today's NBA now he's a liability. He wants 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.359 to shoot, where Ben Simmons doesn't want to shoot. The 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:02.040 problem is Russ he thinks he can shoot. And if 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.280 I have if I have James Harden and Ben Simmons, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.520 I know Ben will be. He'll do other things and 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.080 he doesn't have to handle the ball. He can and 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.040 he is great. You know, if you get him full court, 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.000 he goes downhill, he can get to the hoop and 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.160 I would just say, look, I want you to concentrate 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.360 on doing all these other things. Now, I don't think 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.760 Houston trades James Harden. I wouldn't, but if I can 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:34.040 get Joe ellen Bead and something, I guess I would 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:38.400 entertain it. But you can't trade Westbrook. But the fact 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:42.000 that Philadelphia is expected to be interested in and pursue 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:47.600 James Harden the we're interested in, but now you're pursuing 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.040 that got my attention. With Cham's with his report, Yeah, 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.920 Pauli al Horford's thirty four years old, the forward for 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.760 the seventy six ers. He's averaging about eleven and seven. Yeah, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.240 guess what he's getting paid the next four seasons twenty 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.320 eight million, twenty eight million, twenty eight million, twenty eight 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:07.480 million guarunteed no way out. What is Tobias Harris making? 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:12.240 Does he make like thirty five million dollars a year? Yeah? Mclo. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.240 But I think that Sixer's view, Embiad is the untouchable. 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:19.160 I don't think they would do embiid for Harden because, like, 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.600 he's one of the most talented big men ever, Like 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:26.320 there's something there, you know, siwise scares something there. But 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.560 I know what I get with James Harden. I don't 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.400 know what I have with Joe ll embad because there 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.960 are games where you go, God, is he talented? But 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.960 it just feels like each week I'm seeing a different 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.000 Joe l Embiid. I'm not quite sure, and I don't 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.079 think he I don't know if he gets along with 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.320 Ben Simmons. I don't want to say he doesn't, but 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.720 it feels like there's a lack of chemistry there. And 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:55.000 if I have embiid in Houston, but then I don't 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:57.600 know how Westbrook would would react to something like that, 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.440 because you know, they went all in to get Westbrook 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.840 in Houston. They traded away their future to get Westbrook there. Yeah, 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.400 the Sixers, Tobias Harris next four seasons thirty three million, 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:13.719 thirty six million, thirty nine million, forty one million guaranteed. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.880 Isn't it amazing that the NBA has this deal or 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.160 had these deals where you have guys that you would 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:26.800 not watch if they were playing in your driveway. You 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:33.120 wouldn't you You wouldn't. Is it raining out? No? Okay, May, 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.800 I'd probably watch if Tobias Harris was in my driveway, 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.880 if he was shooting hoops in your driveway uniform. Yes, 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:45.800 is there anything else on TV? Mac Macoto, good point. 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.960 You'd take a peek for a couple of minutes. I 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.280 would just look the blinders, I would. I would just 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.640 take a peek see his shooting form. That's yet. Other 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.760 than that, I met his dad, you know, had had 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.319 to sat down how to drink with his dad. Didn't 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.080 know it was his dad. And we're watching when we're 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:06.679 in the Los Angeles, I'm at the bar, and all 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.400 of a sudden he's in there watching his son, you know, 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.880 on TV. And we struck up conversation and I really 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.600 liked him with the Clippers, but I don't really like 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:23.160 him for thirty eight forty million dollars crazy, told Bias 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.320 Harris or throw out any of these guys. John Wall, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.520 for God's sakes, is gonna make forty seven million dollars. 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.720 I think, what is that next year? If John Wall 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.480 was in the man Cave right now and said you 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:40.920 want to shoot some hoops, I don't know if I would. 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.920 It's just a little pick up. No, yeah, see, now 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.200 you're not being truthful. That's not true. I would go 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.360 out just to see a shooting for him, and that's it. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.600 You'd tell him, I would critique it. You know, your 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:58.719 handles are a little spotty, but these salaries are crazy. Yes, 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.960 you're the only what you always always talked about Tobias 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.960 Harris back when he was I tranked him when he 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.680 was if I could get him for twelve million dollars. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.400 I really loved Tobias Harris came in the morning. I 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:10.920 was like, you mean Gary Harris. I was like, I 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.400 didn't even know who you're talking about. He's gonna if 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:18.240 you say he is paid thirty eight million dollars at 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:20.760 some point, it's gonna be eighteen percent less of that 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.000 thirty eight million. Now it's more of a bargain. Yeah, yes, yes, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.960 isn't the face of it always Alan Krab though, you know, 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.240 poor Alan Krab, he's a new John Koncak. Yeah, yes, 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.840 Bully Chris Paul is making thirty eight million this upcoming season. 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.120 Thirty eight million. I know he's still a good player. Uh. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.679 Kyle Lowry's making thirty five, Blake Griffin's making thirty five mil. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.320 Tobias Harris is the tenth highest paid player in the 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.240 entire NBA. He makes more than Jimmy Butler, Kawhi, Leonard, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:53.480 Clay Thompson, Gordon Hayward's making thirty three million. It's just 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.480 Paul Millsap's making thirty one million. I mean it's it's incredible. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.560 And I know you you have this tea the deal, 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.760 and you only have to pay a certain number of players, 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:09.000 and that's why you have these exorbitant salaries. Man Otto 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.439 Porter Junior's making twenty nine million, and rightfully so, can 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:17.520 you tell me what team he's one? Went and out 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:22.240 A wizard that's always by the way, Alcraft made eighteen 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.680 point five last year. I know he's a margin, and 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.959 at eighteen million dollars a year. I don't think it's 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:33.400 a team now though, just the man. That's what what 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:35.720 is John Wall gonna make at the end of this 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.720 uh salary or this contract? Forty seven million dollars a year. 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.439 I think that's correct. He's two years away from God. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:46.319 Harrison Barnes has made a solid living for himself. If 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.040 Harrison Barnes was outside shooting hoops, I would not go 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:55.160 outside fair, I just I wouldn't. No offense, no offense, Yeah, 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.959 no offense. Yeah, no offense. You're just saying you wouldn't 0:12:57.960 --> 0:12:59.960 walk fifty feet to watch him. No, Oh, you thought 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.760 I said no offense. It was no offense. Big difference there. Yes, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.280 with club Harrison Barnes, I would think, is he a Maverick? Now? 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.120 That guy jumps around a lot. Let's play the Harrison 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.000 Barnes even more. Anonymous. Okay, Paul, I want to guess Sacramento. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.600 I was gonna say, sac Is that where he is? Still? Okay? 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.839 Because I watched my Sacramento Kings, give you a good 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.240 SID eighteen and seven. I even watched the Sacramento Kings 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.000 and I didn't remember Harrison Barnes being on the Sacramento Kings. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.720 He has ton if he has you to shoot around 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.280 right outside they Now I'm good. You'd say maybe some 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.040 other time, who knows what he's gonna be back in 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:39.000 town to the Connecticut even if I haven't gotten my nap, 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.920 then no, I'm not going to go outside and play. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.040 But but if you how many players would you truly 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.280 sit and watch in a game? If I said you 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.760 got to watch a game, how many players would you 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.640 do that? In the NBA? Yeah? See, am I already 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.800 in the city or do I have to travel to it? No, 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.240 you're just watching on TV. Are you just watching on TV? Yeah, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.560 I'll make it easy on you. When I turned the 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.640 TV out, is the channel already on that game? Or 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.640 is it on another game and have to switch channels? No, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.880 it's there for you. So you turn the TV on, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.800 it's already on. Now you have to choose to turn 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.920 away from it. Yes? Am I allowed to go one 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.040 time through the channels and then come back. No, I 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.240 can't go through the guide. No, early season, I would 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.880 like to watch an entire game of Kyrie Irving and 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.720 Kevin Durant yet with the nets. Okay, that would be 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.120 my if there was all the games on for the 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.120 first day of the NBA season and that was one 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.080 of the games, that's a game I would lock on. Okay, 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.880 but how many players would you actually tune in to 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.560 watch a game? Yes? Mc wait, nobody in this room 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.040 watch Kyrie with what team was you on last year 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.520 where he played like thirty games with the nets? Like, 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.440 he's not a mustoon after the those two together. The 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.760 most boring guy there is, He's not much watch either. 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.000 He's at eighteen foot jumper. I wat Zion left all 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.440 Zion all day? Okay, okay, so Zion is one we 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:58.760 can all agree on. Net Luca Dunn, Chick, the return 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.680 of Steph Curry, James Harden. Now you gotta watch the game, 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.320 the whole game. Oh no, no, no, not James Harden. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.360 I know if I watched the first two minutes, I've 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.320 seen the whole game, twenty seven foul shots. Okay. I'd 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.480 rather watch videos of James Harden dancing on the bench 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:18.880 than I would actually. Okay, that's a lot of How 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.800 about Trey Young? Anybody interested? Yes? Time like Trey Any 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:24.920 love for Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell after what they 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:26.520 did in the bubble or you're not going to spend 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:31.840 the time, not a whole game, Donovan Mitchell, really good player, 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.680 not watching the whole game. Yeah, you're gonna watch Lamello. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.160 I'm telling everyone they're gonna watch LaMelo because of his 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.600 dad and all the hype and ESPN is gonna turn 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:46.240 him into a star. Okay, they couldn't turn Lonzo into 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:50.520 a star, but he's different the Lonzo. He's been famous 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.240 for a long time. But why would you watch the 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.200 kid because of his dad, because he's like the news 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:57.760 all the time. Yeah, but they're gonna have a camera 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.480 on his dad while the kids playing, so you can 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.800 see them at this neame awareness. I mean, I'd be 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:08.400 curious to start the season with Lamello. I will be. Yeah. 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.360 Point the problem with LaMelo Ball he's kind of the 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.040 opposite of Zion Zion. We saw thirty one national TV 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.480 games at Duke and he became Brandon what he could 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.040 do now. I want to see this at the next level. 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.200 LaMelo Ball is a guy who's more mystery. He's playing 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.280 in Lithuania against uh, you know, a bunch of guys. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.280 No one's seen him play except for YouTube, so it's 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.440 he's different. He's a mystery, but it's not. He's not 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:33.240 hot like Zion was. Yeah, I mean Zion was already established. 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.000 He was a brand before he got to the NBA. Yeah. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:39.280 Mc LaMelo has five point six million Instagram followers. Well great, 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:44.320 I mean it's huge. He's an international star already. Okay, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.640 it's just like, yeah, he's got the name. When you 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:48.840 see an international star, will he be a national star? 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.640 I have no idea, But dame another, No one's gonna 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.760 tuted for Anthony Edwards. No, they're not, or James Wiseman. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.080 But but I you know, we were talking about established players. 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:04.680 I'll turn in. I'll tune in to see Lebron Lebron, definitely. 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:10.359 I don't turn into tune in to see Kawai. Kawai's boring. 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:16.040 Yes to Jimmy Butler. Not a whole game, yes, this moment, No, 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.080 I would tune in. I would. I would include his 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.760 entire team. I loved watching the Heat this year, and 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.720 I would that might be played out right now. I 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:31.359 got moved on Tyler, Hero and Duncan Robinson gore drog 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.240 Bam out of Bio. I like the whole team. But no, 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.840 I'm not tuning in to see Jimmy Butler, Just Jimmy Button. 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.800 You gotta watch the entire game. It's it's not one 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.360 of those Hey, I'm gonna watch first quarter, first half, 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.800 watch the highlights. You don't get that luxury like the 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:48.800 Greek freak. You tuning in to watch the Greek freak. 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:58.480 Fred van Vliet, Pascal Siakam Yes, Jason Tatum, a young guy. Yeah, 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:05.520 Like who really captures your imagination? Where you go? God, 0:18:05.560 --> 0:18:09.200 I can't wait to watch this. You're trying to get 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.439 ready for the season. Are we're showing Lucas on the 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.679 must watch list next year? He's kind of a slog 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.560 to watch, a slog. He's a twenty foul shot, a 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:21.280 game guy too. He's got a lot of hardened I 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:27.600 he's probably gotten to the level of you plug in numbers, 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.399 like you're not seeing anything that's amazing, you know. I 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.320 think that the reason why that there was a fascination 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.399 or a brief fascination, is he hit that shot against 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.960 the Clippers and it was like, oh my God, and 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.080 then he put up these incredible numbers, and the fact 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:43.360 that the Clippers were trying to taunt him and rough 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.919 him up. Then it became really interesting to see how 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.560 he was going to handle that. But you're right, I 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.520 mean Luca. If you say Luca's going to go twenty seven, 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.639 nine and nine this year, it'll be a couple of 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:56.320 games where you go, oh my god, you see that 0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:00.600 triple double Steph Curry Stills, you know Musty too. There's 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:05.639 probably Damian Lillard. I would watch Damian Lillard. Yeah, I'm 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.640 a club for a guy like Luca wins a championship though, 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.400 which is very very possible that that makes him must 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.760 watch in a way. Right. I don't think Dirk was 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.960 must see TV and they won a title. I don't know. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.520 They're just certain players that are really good. But it 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.399 doesn't there's no tune in factor there. Yes, Hume Joker 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.439 is very much like that. He's good athletic for a 0:19:25.480 --> 0:19:27.359 big guy, but he's not someone you want to watch 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.280 for fourton wor maybe not even two quarters. No, No, 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.119 that's the guy that I want to see highlights of 0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.000 and I'll look at the box score. But I don't 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.520 I mean a Chris bounced pass, backdoor pass. I mean 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.560 it's nice. I just I'm a busy guy. I got 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:43.760 other things to do. But This is a weird conversation 0:19:43.840 --> 0:19:47.400 because I'll text you in on a Tuesday night different 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.080 and you're watching the SEC Kings against Charlotte. Yes, I 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.160 have a sickness. You almost didn't feel like it's a duty? 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.960 Yes you said duty. Yeah, yes, yes, Tudd, I went 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.880 duty and went to Hey Todd, I saw you. Okay, 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.760 you're done. Oh I think you had something to say. 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:06.639 I just got a jumping on me a duty comment. Okay, 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.080 thank you, Tod. All right, so we'll check in with 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.760 the forty nine ers. Should this game be played tonight? 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:14.320 Are we staying with that pole question? McLevin? We have 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:16.720 some other options. We could go into the well you 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:18.840 just asked, who would you rather have Ben Simmons or 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.920 James Harden thirty one versus twenty three? Well, but you 0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.520 have to ask that from the Sixers with James Harden 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.359 or the Rockets, Like are you asking if you're the Rockets, 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.840 do you want Ben Simmons or James Harden. Maybe it's 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:33.159 more interesting from the Sixers standpoint because they have a 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:35.760 new coach and you know, I mean, if you want 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.640 to throw that up there. Or we could get into 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.280 the Whoshia tank who like I'm curious like the Vikings, 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:44.200 like do you not tank? But who should? Because they 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:47.520 have a really talented rookie wide receiver and they have 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:53.400 Delvin Cook. I don't know if they can tank unless 0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:57.480 they replace Kirk d Cousins. But I you know, it's 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.080 not a great team, but they do have If you 0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:02.400 say these are the building blocks, we got a legit 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:06.680 running back and a legit wide receiver. You know, maybe 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.960 theeland's not there much longer. Maybe you're looking for a 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.960 tight end down the road. Is Mike Zimmer the right 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:16.560 coach for this team as you move forward? Like, I 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.399 don't know those things, but I can't see the Vikings 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:23.440 tanking with those two guys in the lineup. We'll also 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.879 here from Antonio Brown coming up in a little bit. 0:21:25.920 --> 0:21:28.080 We'll take a break back after this in The Dan 0:21:28.160 --> 0:21:31.120 Patrick Show.

I'll get to those. 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:59.560 Eight seven seven three DP show. Dallas Cowboys are thirteen 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:03.280 and a half point underdogs against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:07.600 over under is forty two for entertainment purposes only. The 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:11.840 Cowboys have yet to cover the spread in their first 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:15.480 eight games of the season. They have failed to cover 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:19.680 buy an average of ten points per game, and they 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:22.040 could be the first team in modern NFL history to 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:26.639 start oh and nine versus the spread. It seems like 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.440 a big number. Pittsburgh, by the way, six and one 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.760 record against the spread, and their games have hit the 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:38.240
