Oh my gosh, this person is about to 122 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 4: be the best ever. And let me railed you off 123 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 4: a couple of things. You know who looked amazing. Kyle 124 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 4: Kuzman looked like he was gonna be a perennial All 125 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 4: Star if he went off the Summer League his first 126 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 4: go round. Markl Foltz. That's why he's the number one pick. 127 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 4: He look amazing. Ben Simmons, who Cooper Flag looked like? 128 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: To me, Ben. 129 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 4: Simmons is the new Lebron if you went off the 130 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: Summer League, we ain't seen two or the three since. 131 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 4: You know who looked horrible. Steph Curry looked lost out there? Well, 132 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: I think he did all right. Dereck Rose looked lost 133 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 4: out there. I think he did all right. So down, 134 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 4: don't put too much stock either way in this. So 135 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 4: Cooper Flag, he was out there, he was five or 136 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 4: twenty one, missed some shots. Now here's what I do 137 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 4: give him credit for. I give him an E for effort. 138 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 4: And that that's what I say. That is because the 139 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 4: same thing I said yesterday. The one thing I can 140 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 4: can I can say I know going into his NBA career, 141 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 4: I can count on he is athletic. You saw the 142 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 4: one Donkey got filed on the miss. I mean, my gosh, 143 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: he tried to jump for the free throw line on somebody. 144 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 4: So I knew the elite athleticism was there. And also 145 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 4: I know he cares. He's gonna play hard from zero 146 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: minutes to forty eight minutes. He's gonna give max effort 147 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 4: on both sides. So I love to see that from him, 148 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: but I don't put too much stock in it. Bronni 149 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: didn't look that great. Nobody really looked that great and 150 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: had the BRONI put up eighteen on a Hey put 151 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: up eighteen against guys who aren't gonna be up there 152 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 4: in the league, So I don't put too much. Now, 153 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 4: there's some takeaways for Cooper flag and with one Cooper 154 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 4: that handle, Aint what you think that hand? He thought 155 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 4: he had it bringing the ball up looking nice with 156 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 4: the handle with Jason Kidd said he wants me to 157 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 4: play a little point guard. Not in this NBA. He's 158 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 4: got a lot of work to do with the handle. Also, 159 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: gotta get to a second move. He's used to being bigger, taller, stronger, 160 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 4: fast and most guys because most of the guys he 161 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 4: played against are gonna get jobs and insurance this next 162 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 4: you know fall and so he has his little turnaround move. 163 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: You gotta get a better moved, you gotta get some 164 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 4: second move, some counter moves, which eventually he'll get. So 165 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 4: I think he'll be fine as a player. But again, 166 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: his day butt as you put it. I didn't put 167 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 4: too much stock out.

But 486 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 4: then sometimes he might beat that was one of the 487 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 4: mess that not that iratic. 488 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not that. 489 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: Josie Pree got a great few years, you know, to start, 490 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: he was unbelievable, to be honest. 491 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 2: They want him in the All Star Game after ten games. Ridiculous. 492 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: All right, I'll just ask you, tho, why you gotta 493 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: take a shot at it? Sorry about that? All right? 494 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: That's right. 495 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 4: Kobe Price, Lakers reporter so CAB News Group, hosted the 496 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: Lakers Insider Show on bleacher Report Kobe Underscore Price on 497 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 4: X Kobe, what's up? 498 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: What's happening to Kobe? 499 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 8: On? 500 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 9: How's doing? 501 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 11: How you guys doing. 502 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 2: We're doing good, We're doing good. 503 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 4: We've been talking about is apparently so what Lebron gonna 504 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 4: be a cave by February? 505 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: Is that's what's going on right now? 506 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 4: What's going on with Lebron and uh not having any 507 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 4: real conversation with the team, not texting Andre Ayden. 508 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 2: Not known about the sale of the team, like all 509 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: that stuff. 510 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a shift. I mean 511 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 8: it's a shift in many ways that we've seen happen, 512 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 8: you know with the Lakers. The dynamic really between the 513 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 8: Lakers and Lebron James since since the trade for Luca 514 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 8: Doctors back in February quite honestly. I mean you think 515 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 8: about after they trade for Luca. You know, Rob talked 516 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 8: about it publicly, you know, Luca Robs they did to 517 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 8: have that meeting, you know about like you know, for Luca, 518 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 8: what what roster you know, like what helps you roster wise? 519 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 8: Like what kind of BigMan do you want? And the 520 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 8: Lakers go after that big man. Lebron wasn't part of 521 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 8: his conversations, right, Like Lebron wasn't part of that equation, 522 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 8: and then you could I mean there are so many 523 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 8: different moments where you see this team slowly or not 524 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 8: even just the team, really the franchise organization prioritized Luca 525 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 8: and his president and his future over everything else. And 526 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 8: for the first time in his career, Lebron James isn't 527 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 8: priority number one when it comes to the organization or 528 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 8: franchise he plays for from player standpoint, and I think 529 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 8: that that's showing itself in several different ways over the 530 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 8: past few months, big and small, and. 531 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: It should be. 532 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: The shift makes total sense. I mean, really, you got 533 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: a guy's going to be forty one years old. I mean, 534 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: you can't be living in the past. You have to 535 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: figure it out and move forward. Uh what it just 536 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: the aiding thing is ridiculous, Like, seriously, you're gonna play 537 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: with the guy this year. You can't text the guy 538 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: and just say what's up. But then again, he did 539 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: talk about how incredible is going to be to play 540 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: with Lucas, So maybe Lebron saw that and wasn't happy 541 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: about it. 542 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: He said, be like a video game. Yep. 543 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's sometimes it's so tough to I mean, 544 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 8: because the guys, guy's on vacationer. I don't know you 545 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 8: would think that he would text them, but it was 546 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 8: one of those I don't know if it's a bad thing, 547 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 8: but it doesn't. It doesn't. I would think it's a 548 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 8: good thing that he didn't text them, But I mean 549 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 8: I think it was you said, I mean, this is 550 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 8: a mean understandable why the I mean, it's understandable why 551 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 8: the Lakers are taking the position. To add, it's also 552 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 8: understandable why Lebron would take the position he has. You know, 553 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 8: sometimes throughout you know this is about to be Lebron's 554 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 8: i think eighth season with the Lakers. Sometimes the partnership 555 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 8: between them has been a partnership, you know of abundance 556 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 8: and you know, one that's produced great results for both sides. 557 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 8: And sometimes there's been a partnership of convenience, you know, 558 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 8: Lebron capitalizing off the Lakers brand and vice versa, the Lakers, 559 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 8: you know, capitalizing off of what Lebron's brought to the 560 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 8: franchise of the toast almost eight years. So there's been 561 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 8: a back and forth, you know, since this partnership, since 562 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 8: Lebron joined the organization in twenty eighteen. But you know 563 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 8: it hasn't always I mean, as we can see, you know, 564 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 8: it hasn't always been sun Signed and the rainbows. There's been 565 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 8: back and forth since the since twenty eighteen, and you know, 566 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 8: now it does seem like again like Lucas twenty six. 567 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 11: I don't completely on my. 568 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 8: Side on agree my opinion in terms of just so 569 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 8: much part prioritization of the future when you have Luca, 570 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 8: he is twenty six, he's entering year eight. I don't 571 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 8: know if you can really try to have a five 572 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 8: to six seven year plan with Luca. You may have 573 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 8: to shorten that, especially in the modern NBA. But it's 574 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 8: understandable why they would look at this as you know, 575 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 8: this upcoming season tried to build the most competitive roster 576 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 8: around Luca and Lebron and then beyond that, really try 577 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 8: to set yourself up for building a roster, building an 578 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 8: organization or a franchise that maximizes what Luca brings. 579 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about Brody after that dominating performance 580 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: last night over Cooper Flag, is he in a rotation 581 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: for next year? 582 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 8: I would doubt it. I mean, I would imagine he 583 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 8: plays more than he did last season, but I doubt 584 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 8: he's in the Okaine day rotation from day one. Just 585 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 8: nine certain guys I could rattle off at least six 586 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 8: or seven guys without giving it much thought that'd be 587 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 8: ahead of him in the rotation. 588 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 2: What about the Kers? 589 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: I'm just serious, Like Lebron's not in the loop to 590 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: not talking to him. What if they leave Bronnie off 591 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 1: the roster and just say, like seriously, like like Lebron 592 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: would probably demand a trade at that point when you think, so, Kobe, 593 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: like if can you imagine him like like saying to Bronni, 594 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: you know what, he didn't make the roster. 595 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 2: You already got a contract though, yeah, I. 596 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 8: Mean he's already under contract for uh for next season. 597 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: You can't you can't release people. You guys know that 598 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: like a dollar hour, but you can release. But you 599 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: can release people. Let's not what are you asking, can 600 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: you release? You can release him? 601 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they could, but I don't think, you know, 602 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 8: even with the the the disconnect that may be growing 603 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 8: between the Brown and Lakers, I don't think the the Lakers, 604 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 8: I mean, I don't think the organization would be I'll 605 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 8: just use petty enough to take out any or to 606 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 8: take out any frustration or not disconnects on le Bron 607 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 8: to Bronnie, and I'll take this so further. 608 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 11: They're actually like. 609 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 8: I know that it's easy to say this when Lebron's 610 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 8: on the roster, but they're actually stayings of Bronni in 611 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 8: the organization. Like there are people like after having him, 612 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 8: like being around him, having him in the organization for 613 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 8: the past you know, over the past year. They're actual 614 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 8: fans of him within the organization. 615 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: So I don't believe when Lebron's no longer a Laker, 616 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: that Bronni will be a Laker. I will bet my 617 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: bottom dollar on that that he will not be there 618 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: longer than Lebron is there. 619 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 8: I mean, I think that's a good uh yeah, I 620 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 8: mean that's a good bet to make. I wouldn't I 621 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 8: would have I wouldn't disagree with that. 622 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 4: I would challenge that the timelines are going to line 623 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 4: up perfect, right like Bron's gone to This will be 624 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 4: his second year and his two year contract. Kobe Price, 625 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 4: Lakers reporter for SOCl News Group, hosts of Lakers Insiders 626 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 4: show on Bleacher Report. I want to go a little 627 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 4: broader here with you, Kobe through the Lakers though, meaning okay, 628 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,479 Speaker 4: we keep talking about Lebron. He's here for the season 629 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 4: as we know it today right now at this time. 630 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 4: So is DeAndre Aid and so is Lucas, so is 631 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 4: Austin Ris. Kind of that being the core that ain't enough, 632 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,959 Speaker 4: I say, to really compete in the West. That has 633 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 4: gotten even stronger, that was already strong last season has 634 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 4: gotten even stronger in some cases with some of the teams. 635 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 4: So what are the realistic expectations and is there something 636 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 4: I'm missing a move that can We may have a 637 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 4: mid level exception, a guy out there we don't know about. 638 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 8: I mean right now, I mean the Lagias are almost 639 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 8: in a very similar position as they were in last season. 640 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 8: You know, yes, they won fifty games, yes, they were 641 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 8: the three seed, but they were tied with a few 642 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 8: other teams for the three seed and spots. I think 643 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 8: six through six and seven were forty nine win teams 644 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 8: and seven and eight were forty eight win teams. So 645 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 8: even though they were where they were at, they weren't 646 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 8: that much better compared to the few teams that were 647 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 8: below them. And I think they're in a similar spot 648 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 8: if you ask me right now. I think regular season 649 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 8: standings wise, they're you know, they were. I think the 650 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 8: best case scenario for them would be either being a 651 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 8: three seed and four and having home court advantage in 652 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 8: the first round of playoffs like they did last season. 653 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 8: And I think if things didn't work out as smoothly, 654 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 8: you know, it could be somewhere as low as a 655 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 8: sixth seven, possibly have to make it through the playing again. 656 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 8: So I don't think, you know, there's the Lakers know, 657 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 8: I mean having conversations with you know, people with knowledge 658 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 8: of their thinking, like they know there's still work, more 659 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 8: work to be done, even if nothing more happens from 660 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 8: here until they started training camp in a couple of 661 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 8: months and a half two and a half months, Like 662 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 8: they know there's more work than needs to be done. 663 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 8: They know that they need to address their the winging 664 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 8: spot and getting you know, a better defensive oriented, defensive 665 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 8: minded wings. I mean, and I was gonna say, I 666 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 8: mean the mid level set is taking up the best 667 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 8: kis sing narrow for them honestly, is through a trade. 668 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 8: I know that Andrew Wiggins trade roomors have you know, 669 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 8: picked up and then cooled off throughout the summer. But 670 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 8: I think for a real high impact level addition, it 671 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 8: would either have to be via trade or maybe you know, 672 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 8: you get lucky with a player like Marcus Smartt you know, 673 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 8: if the Wizards my him out or you can find 674 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 8: or signed Gary Paid in the second Yeah, if you 675 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 8: you know, we wave pick Mills and like, there are 676 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 8: some guys available out there. But I think the if 677 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 8: the Lakers looks to be contenders this season, it would 678 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 8: probably have to come be a trade. 679 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: All right, last thing, Kobe, just a yes or no answer. 680 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: We don't need a big thing with this. 681 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 5: Uh. 682 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: Magic Johnson will be in the Lakers front office now 683 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: with new ownership. 684 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 2: Yes or no? 685 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 4: No, Okay, he already told you, Rob, I'm not gonna 686 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 4: be here.

Just absolutely kind of 724 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,959 Speaker 4: in my opinion, I believe yours too. I can speak 725 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 4: for you.

He ends it with and 731 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 4: I guess he was too early. But we have to 732 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 4: say Rob Parker was right, Apollo. You know, I have 733 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 4: to apologize to Rob Parker so for what you said 734 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 4: about RGI three years ago.

It wasn't about vindication 743 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: or anything like that. I just wasn't in that frame 744 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,919 Speaker 1: of mind. But I do want to use this as 745 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: inspiration to people because that was a moment in my 746 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: life where I had never been to the principal's office. 747 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 2: I've been. I've worked at ESPN for eight years. I 748 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: was on that show in the. 749 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 1: Beginning of Sports Debate and when it was hard to 750 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: get on that show, and it was my CYTV back 751 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: in those days, and so all of a sudden, from 752 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: that whole thing I get suspended. My contract was up 753 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: at the end two weeks, so obviously it was easy 754 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: for them not to renew me. Right, Okay, just had 755 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: some controversial put it all on rob so we could 756 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: wash our hands. And everybody else, other people my boss 757 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: got suspended, and people got suspended, but they didn't. 758 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 2: Get fired or not renewed like I did. 759 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: And I just remember, and this is the message to 760 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: everybody listening. 761 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 2: Seriously, you're going to go through stuff. 762 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: And that was a turning point in my life. I 763 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: could have taken two roads. A lot of people I heard, Oh, 764 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? 765 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 8: Now? 766 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: You know you're not gonna be at ESPN.

And my point to you is 777 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: you have to fight it. You have to survive it, 778 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: no matter how you know. 779 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 2: For those eight years great. 780 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: I tell people all the time, I had eight great 781 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: years and one bad day at ESPN. 782 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,480 Speaker 2: That's really what I had. 783 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: I was never in trouble or suspended or yelled at 784 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: or rob what are you doing? 785 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 2: Never?

That 821 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 4: was cute. 822 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 2: You were doing that until you get fired, not renewed, 823 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 2: let go whatever They want to call it, was it. 824 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 4: And that happened to me, and it was at the 825 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 4: at that time the pinnacle for me at the you know, 826 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 4: at the same spot, and I was doing the show 827 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 4: and things were going well, and I moved up very 828 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 4: quickly there. And then eventually there's a guy who you know, 829 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 4: just just wasn't his guy, you know, and he decided 830 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 4: to do the same thing. Hey, we're gonna move on. 831 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,919 Speaker 4: We're not gonna renew you. The whole thing, the whole drill, 832 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 4: and a couple of lessons were learned. Then Number one, 833 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 4: if I could encourage people to never necessarily wrap your 834 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 4: identity into a place. You wrap hard work, You wrap 835 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 4: your into your your belief system, your integrity, your work ethic. 836 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: That's where you you would just that's that was the 837 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: vehicle down that you were able to to, uh, you know, 838 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: be able to worry you. But that's not who you are. 839 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 4: So you wrap it in your faith, your hard work, 840 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 4: and dedication, your network because your network does also determine 841 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 4: your net worth. So that's one thing I learned from that. 842 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 4: And also you go on to the fact that look, 843 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 4: you're gonna make it through everything and any movie that 844 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 4: you've ever liked any book, you've ever read anything, Your 845 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 4: favorite thing about it was the journey for that person, right, 846 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 4: It was the ups and downs. It was the thing 847 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 4: they went through. That's the reason why you love it. 848 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,800 Speaker 4: Whether it be I don't care if it's a story 849 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 4: of the Book of the Bible, of this a movie. 850 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 4: It was the hero went down, went up, and you 851 00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 4: love that. And part of that is going to be 852 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 4: their own heroic and here uh protagonist story in your life. 853 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 4: So we've all been there, and I've extremely bounced back 854 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 4: from there. 855 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 2: You know that. 856 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 4: I won't get all the details, but I've been doing 857 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 4: very well and I'm appreciative of my time there. It 858 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 4: led to things. So things can be stepping stones, you'll 859 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,439 Speaker 4: be fine. Push through, persevere, keep the faith, and you'll 860 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 4: be I like us. It's the Eye couple.
