<v Speaker 1>your podcasts and live all throughout free agency, Summer League,

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and beyond. Exactly so, I said this in the pod

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that never was So did I even say it at all?

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 2>That's the question. Buckle up, folks.

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>We've now reached bizarro land.

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 2>As of yesterday afternoon.

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>According to numerous sources, the NETS gave Kyrie Irving permission

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to pursue sign and trade packages also to sign a

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>free agency using.

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 2>The mid level taxpayer mid level exception.

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>And it appeared that unless the Nets paid him max money,

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>he was out this bitch. However, turns out Kyrie did

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>opt in to thirty six million dollar contract and blew

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 1>up all the speculation about him and KD finding new homes.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Kyrie Irving is currently in.

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>North Dakota opting into his contract, looking at all the

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>scenes and sights. But unless, of course, nothing has actually

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>changed and Kyrie is still on the move, no one

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>knows what's happening, folks. No one, not Woj, not Wendy,

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>who like me, ended up scrapping his podcast as well.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>He recorded the full thing had to start all over

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>again once Kyrie opted in.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Ain't that about a bitch? That's how it goes.

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Not even Schaum's Sharanya, who has a direct line to

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Irving, knows what's going on with Kyrie Irving.

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even sure.

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Truthfully, I'm not even sure that Kyrie knows where Kyrie

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>is at.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's just so human.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>You're just going through the decision tree and you're just like,

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I know it's not quite right where I am, but

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I also don't know if I go if it's quite

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>right there either. So it's the evil you know versus

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the evil you don't know, and also a trip to

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>North Dakota to embrace your roots.

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I do know, however, how we got here one.

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>It started out not last season, but the season before,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>when Kyrie Irving went on walkabout and he got suspended

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>because he went to his sister's birthday party, wore no

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>mask to the event, went to Cynthia Nixon's Zoom Zoom

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>activism situation, and at that point I spoke with my

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>man Anthony Puccio, who was covering the nets, and he said,

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>right then is when Josie said, I'm kind of tired

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>with Kyrie Irving's antics. That was before the trade for Harden,

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.679
<v Speaker 1>so that's kind of where Josi is at. He did

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>the trade, said maybe Harden is a contingency plan if

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>we are sick and tired of Kyrie Irving's antics, And

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 1>then of course James Harden got sick and tired of

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Irvings antics first, and so he was like, I am.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Out this bitch.

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So Josi, Sean Marks, probably Steve Nash all thinking to themselves,

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy can handle the basketball unlike we've ever seen, but.

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Is he worth it?

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Is he worth this headache, this lack of culture, this

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>bullshit we have to deal with. And then Josi publicly stated, yeah,

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I am in full support of us not paying Kyrie

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Irving the max.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I am all in on us not doing that.

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Irving offered, apparently the Nets a shorter term deal,

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 1>how about like a two in one, And the Nets

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>were like, how about a zero in one?

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 2>How about you just hopped in.

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>We are met to your lab that year and we

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>can figure it out.

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>And then Sideways, Me and literally everyone in the NBA media.

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Were like, is Kyrie Irving switching teams. The NBA off

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>season went like it does, where literally the news cycle

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>was like snorting a full line of cocaine. Everyone's just

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>bouncing off the walls.

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Not knowing anything.

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Let me break it down calmly and rationally. Here's where

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>we went, and here's where we go. Nets finalized and

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>offer to Kai. What was in that offer is unknown.

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>According to Zach Lowe, the Nets made a real offer

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>to Kyrie Irving. We don't know the exact permutations. There's

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>probably several, but this is not a case where it

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 1>was a one year deal and that was it. It

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>was offered real stuff. We don't know exactly what they are. Unquote,

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he called it a real offer. We do know he

0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>probably and the Nets probably had provisions. Provisions are the

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>keyword for him not playing full games, for him deciding

0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to go to Cynthia Nixon's birthday party, and also activism campaign.

0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.280
<v Speaker 1>We all know that Kyrie Iven doesn't play full season.

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 2>That's just never what. He's not done that since high school.

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think Kyrie Irving played a full season

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>in high school basketball in New Jersey. So Kyrie gave

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>every indication he would only accept the Max deal in

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>order to return to Brooklyn. But the new news, the

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>current news, is that he wanted a shorter term deal

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>at Max money, and that was probably a lie. Things

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:41.239
<v Speaker 1>began rolling downhill fast. Zach Low tweeted, the Max deal

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 1>is not coming for Kyrie.

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 2>The Nets will not be.

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Held hostage by the threat of Kyrie and then Kevin leaving.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Brian Windhorse says, get the Nets are like all in

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.039
<v Speaker 1>on both gone and like we're not dealing with what

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>we had last year. So if you guys both want

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to frolic along, then that's fine. We have Kevin Durant

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>under a four year deal. We decide where he goes,

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and we decide what assets come back. You want to

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.599
<v Speaker 1>pull Ben Simmons, that's fine, But we know that Ben

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Simmons doesn't love basketball and you do, so you're not

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>holding out like Ben Simmons.

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:13.159
<v Speaker 2>We know that.

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie then pulled the nuclear code, releasing a list of

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 1>teams that he would prefer to be traded to Lakers,

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>which we knew was gonna happen because Kyrie Irving went

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 1>on some im athlete podcast and said if it wasn't

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>for his ego, him.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>And Lebron James will be playing basketball still together. And

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>that was when I said.

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Scooby, Scooby, is that what I think it is? Now?

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>We're talking Lakers, Clippers, Snicks, Heat, MAVs, Sixers. Turns out,

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>numerous reports from Jake Fisher, friend of show, there was

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>only one team that was even remotely interested in Kyrie,

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and of course it was the Lakers.

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 2>What would the offer of Ben.

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't know.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>That's the big question.

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>If Kyrie left, we all began to wonder would Kevin

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Durant go as well. Sham's the ultimate shill of the

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>man said, Kevin Durant is loyal to the Nets. He

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>will not be going anywhere, and that is probably what

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>It's probably a lie. He's not gonna be sitting there

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>with a bunch of scrubs and no draft picks if

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>you're a lottery team.

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>And then just like this, the NBA World exploded.

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Nets Daily tweeted this, based on conversations this morning, I

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.840
<v Speaker 1>think that the Nets will be very active very soon,

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and not just on Kyrie.

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I was told to quote unquote buckle up.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>At this point, Kyrie had until Wednesday at five pm,

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>which is tomorrow, to decide whether he was going to

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>opt into his contract. All reports were that he was

0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 1>not going to chaos, of course, is in the streets.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Two of the seventy five best players in the NBA

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>right now, two of the seventy five best of all time,

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>potentially going on the market at the same exact time.

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Exactly what is happening here?

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 2>No one knows.

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Dame Lyott Lillard then photoshopped the photo of I don't

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 1>know if he did it.

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Himself, so don't quote me on him doing it himself.

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that he owns photo shop on his computer,

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>but i'ld be amazing. A photo emerged the Dame Lillard

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>posted on his own Instagram story of Kevin Durant in

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the Portland Trailblazer's uniform alongside Dame. People are freaking out.

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Parody accounts began Fate quoting that KD wanted to come

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>back to Golden State.

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Shit is bananas b A na nas. Then Woes dropped

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>a bomb.

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>If Irving declines his thirty six million dollar player option,

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>he would be eligible to sign with the Lakers for

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the six million taxpayer mid level exception. Of course, he

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>would probably sign this six million dollar MLLE with the

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>agreement that he would get a max deal from the

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>team the next year.

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 2>How serious was this chatter?

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Christian Winfield New York Post reported that the belief among

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>team and league execs and players is that Kyrie Irving

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>was Deuce's peace up atown down.

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Having only played.

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 1>One hundred and three games in three years, he has

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>missed forty one point four percent of the possible games

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 1>with the Nets with all teams excuse me, since twenty fifteen,

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that man is operating in a sixty percent clip. That is,

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in academia, what we call a failing grade.

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 2>If you're wondering how.

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Scared the Nets might be about the prospect of losing KD,

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.400
<v Speaker 1>when Horse just reported the Nets would rather lose Kyrie

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>and KD both and to go through hell that they

0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>went in with both of them together, and that bulls

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and that turmoil. In addition to this, the cooling between

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the Nets and KD was something to watch as well.

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Apparently the Nets fired Adam Harrington. Who is Adam Harrington?

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>You might ask, why does he matter? He was Kevin

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Durant shooting coach back in Okase when Kevin Durant was

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>there before he went to the Warriors. Kevin Durant specifically

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>asked for Adam Harrington to be an assistant coach of

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the Nets. He has now been recently fired, and Kevin

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Durant reportedly was weighing his options and his faith and

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>interest in trust in the decision making in the Nets

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 1>was starting to come under question. Incredible, and yet Kyrie

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Irving does opt in but does not tell the Nets

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 1>he's opting in. He did not even alert them, just

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>like he did not even alert them that he was

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>going there in the first place. Do you guys remember

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that Kyrie Irving chose the Nets without the Nets choosing him.

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Iruving chose the Nets before the Nets offered him whatsoever.

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>They just backed into a relationship. It's like if I

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>went to the Oscars and then all of a sudden

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.439
<v Speaker 1>someone came up to me and they were like, Michael B.

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Jordan says, he wants to date you. He's got an offer,

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>he's got a ring, And I'm like, well, I didn't

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:03.319
<v Speaker 1>even know that. Uh, I didn't even know Wait, excuse

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.439
<v Speaker 1>me back this up a little bit.

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>So Michael, what wants to do?

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>What? Like?

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 2>That's the Nets with Kyrie River also though it's like

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Michael B.

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's friend, He's also wants to marry you as well.

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.439
<v Speaker 1>It's like hold On, Kadi and Kyrie are both coming

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 1>to the Nets.

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 2>We didn't even know. So that's a disaster.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>On top of the fact the Nets don't have their

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>own first round pick for the next five years.

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>All of their turmoil, all.

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Of the chaos, all of the mediocrity spiraling, all of

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that does is build up the war chest for the

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Houston Rockets. And that is why Tielman for Tita made

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a billion dollars off of low end shrimp, because he

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 1>is a man that understands business and understand how that

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 1>assets work.

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Here, I don't need any pieces for James. Don't worry

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:57.400
<v Speaker 2>about that. I don't want I don't want Ben Simmons that. No,

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't want Jared Allen that. Nohoh.

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Just give me five first shround picks. Give me four

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>first round picks and four pick swaps. How about that.

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll take that.

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I can see how things have worked out with you

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>when you traded for Kevin Garnett and Paul Pearson.

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Toron Williams. We'll just keep our ass over here.

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>We don't want these pieces that are not on the

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>timeline of our young guns.

0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:20.839
<v Speaker 2>And then Kyrie had to go.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Ruining all of our chaos by doing this opt in,

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Like your fans were already planning their parade. Then they

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>went into a probably they're in a coma right now.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>NBA media all had to scrap their podcasts, they had

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>to scrap their articles, their think pieces. Bet MGM as

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>well as other sports books had to maneuver their odds.

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>And now we've got news that opting in makes it

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>even more likely that Kyrie is on the move. So

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>if you had to ask me what I think is

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>going to happen, do it doesn't seem like I know?

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Does it seem like I even have the foggiest idea

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>what to make out of this?

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Buckle up, folks, we're just can get started.

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Its June thirtieth could not come back
