This is this is yeah, yeah. 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago when Derek Carr suddenly was 15 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: the hottest quarterback in the off season, and I said, 16 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't want the Jets anywhere near him right now, 17 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: don't want him anywhere near him.

That's one quarterback situation down. 138 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: The Jets are getting there. Yeah, I should have made 139 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: the point a little more clear about viable and wanted 140 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: quarterbacks generally don't get the pre agency, although that's changed 141 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: a little bit the past couple of years. We've got 142 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: a couple of guys coming up this year that we've 143 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: talked about a little bit. Find the podcast. But yeah, 144 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: Derek Carr will be your guy. Ten games for the 145 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: Saints in twenty twenty four, Hey, he had a three 146 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: to one touchdown to interception ratio, completed nearly sixty eight 147 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: percent of his passes. Three years later and out of retirement, 148 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna now, Like, Hey, if we could 149 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: go back, I would take me two years. I would 150 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: take him three years ago, you know, I mean, come on, 151 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: I would take him two decent years for the Saints. 152 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: They weren't good. I mean, at least the numbers spin out. 153 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: You go back and watch they take the eye test 154 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: of actually watching those games. They're very different than what 155 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: those stats read off as. I think we got to 156 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: set the over under on snaps at four to be fair. Well, 157 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna they make him run out with the flag. 158 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: You to take the over to the under number four 159 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: the line, right, No, I think yeah, he would be 160 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: number four. I'll take the over that they hand them 161 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: all off to Bresall the first five times, just to 162 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: get past that four snap number.

It doesn't necessarily mean. 337 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 4: We're going to get what we want, but we're going 338 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 4: to get what we need. 339 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: So it's a very short book, is what you're doing. 340 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: It's more like a pamphlet. That last line from the 341 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: Rolling Stones, though, what I'm. 342 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 7: Saying is what I'm saying is you're in for a 343 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 7: lot of pain. 344 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: And that's okay, Okay.

Because we're going. 362 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 7: To play, We're going to live a lot longer than 363 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 7: we play. 364 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 4: Whatever sport it might be. 365 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: And you got into not just NBA Stars, but you 366 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: got outside of you, Brandy Chastaining, Tom Brady h really 367 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: outside yeah. 368 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 7: No, no, no. 369 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 4: I tried to find athlete who had various experiences about 370 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 4: become either weren't always coachable, Brandy Chastain will tell you, 371 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 4: like she was not coachable and got drummed out of 372 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 4: the national team the national team because of it, and 373 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: then came back and was only allowed back because they said, 374 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 4: you know what, you're not a goal scorer. You're going 375 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 4: to be a defender. And she's like, I've never defended 376 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 4: in my life, and said, you want to be on the. 377 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 7: Team, You're going to play defense and. 378 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 4: You're going to learn how to do it. So she 379 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 4: accepted that, and then lo and behold, she winds up 380 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 4: scoring the most iconic goal in women's soccer history. That 381 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 4: to me, is just a microcosm of like find your path, Like, 382 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 4: don't have a preset idea of where you're going to go. 383 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 7: Synthesize who and what you want to be with someone else's. 384 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 4: Vision of who and what you can be. And that 385 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 4: is how you reach your ultimate potential. 386 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: Coachable, how the greatest performers reached their highest potential. Available 387 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: at Amazon and wherever you get find books will show 388 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: up in your mailbox. In May, Rick Buker our guest 389 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: here at Fox Sports Radio. So, Rick, how many copies 390 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: did you send to the Lakers facility? 391 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 4: Well, it's pre ordering right now. So I don't know 392 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 4: that I can help them in time for to solve 393 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 4: anything this season. And by the way, I think Mark 394 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 4: Walter has enough money. I expect him to go out 395 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 4: and drop the coin himself. 396 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: Okay, well, I mean you might want a group discount. 397 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 4: But all that I'm open to. That's that's available. 398 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll try to broker that one for you. 399 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: But the Lakers yesterday nobody plays, they get blown out, 400 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: and now you're you're in this odd situation as we 401 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: get towards the All Star break where you're just in 402 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 1: a in a holding pattern, it seems, and Luca's out. 403 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: How bad does it get? 404 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 4: That's a great I mean, look, the the schedule that 405 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 4: they have is not ideal for where they are. But look, 406 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: this is always going to be the issue, is that 407 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 4: Lukadancic's is mister everything for them right now, and you 408 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 4: take him out of the equation. Now you have to 409 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 4: lean on Lebron at forty one years old, and Austin Reeves, 410 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 4: who already because of his elevated role with this team, 411 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 4: suffered injury and they've got to keep an eye on that. 412 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 7: So and I'm sure he does too, since. 413 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: This is. 414 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 4: This is the payday time for him. So look, I 415 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 4: never thought that they were a legitimate contender in spite 416 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 4: of the great start. And this also, I think, big picture, 417 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 4: you know, this is why the Dallas Mavericks were willing 418 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 4: to move on from Luka Doncic because. 419 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 7: All of the issues that we're seeing here, I mean physically. 420 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 4: Remember when we were I think we talked about it 421 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 4: like he was on the cover of Men's Health and 422 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 4: there was the new body and the new training regimen. 423 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 4: And I swear I've read that story four and five 424 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 4: times since he entered the NBA where he goes from 425 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,479 Speaker 4: a bad body to now I'm turning the page. I'm 426 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: going to eat better, I'm going to work out harder, 427 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. And it's just the same cycle. 428 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 4: And so that to me is the bigger question here 429 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 4: is Luca dantic is injured once again, and with your 430 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Lakers, and you're going to invest in 431 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 4: him going forward, and you're going to build a team 432 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 4: specifically for him, it has to make you at least 433 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 4: a little bit nervous in terms of what you're going 434 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 4: to be going forward. As for what they are right now, Look, 435 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 4: they're just they're in transition, and this is moving from 436 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 4: the Lebron James era to the Luca Dantice era and 437 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: they're in midstream. 438 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 7: And so the expectation that this season is going. 439 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 4: To be anything other than a transition period, I think 440 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 4: is expecting too much. 441 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 1: Rick Bucker our guest Jason Smith Mike Carmon Love from 442 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, so speaking of injuries, right, 443 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: you see now over the course of this of the season, 444 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: we're in kind of the Hey, everybody's waiting for the 445 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: All Star Game coming out of it every night. Rick, 446 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: when it comes to once, I think fifty five games 447 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: is the sweet spot for the NBA that if you're 448 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: making a perfect schedule thing, fifty five is about where 449 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: you need to be and then you can get to 450 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Because what you're starting to see now is 451 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: that teams have gone from you know what you know, 452 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: you go back, going back like twenty some odd years, going, hey, 453 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: we got to make the playoffs and be a top seed, 454 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: we need home court, and now it's we just got 455 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: to be one of the top ten teams even in 456 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: the play and is okay. And if we don't think 457 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: we're any good, we're going to continue to play for 458 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: the lottery. Like the regular season like has become so 459 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: irrelevant to the point where when you get to this 460 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: point now, teams are saying, yeah, we don't really care 461 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: about wins and losses. We want to be healthy. If 462 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: we're a playoff team, we don't care about our seating. 463 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: We don't care where we end up, and we're gonna 464 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: sit guys whenever the hell we want to. Like, this 465 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: is something the NBA has really got to look at 466 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: because all the changes they've made with well, sixty five 467 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: games for rewards, Yeah, players don't care about that. I 468 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: like all theo you know, back to that they don't 469 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 1: care like the regular season, like teams of just saying yeah, 470 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: we just don't care that much anymore. 471 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. So I agree that that something there, there's something 472 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 4: that needs to happen in order to elevate the meaning 473 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: or the significance of regular season games. But I think 474 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: that they're shortening. First of all, who's given the money back? 475 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 4: Like are the players reducing their salaries by a third? 476 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 4: Because if you're gonna play eighty two games, and I 477 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 4: mean they're gonna play fifty five games, and the owners 478 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 4: are going to want to call back a big chunk 479 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 4: of that money, and I'm not even sure that the 480 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 4: owners can with all the ancillary money that they make 481 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: off of that that extra third, that they would be 482 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 4: willing to do it. That's the bottom line is. We 483 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 4: can talk back all about how value it would be 484 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 4: for the league to have a shorter season in every 485 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 4: game to be meaningful, but every one of those games, 486 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 4: meaningful or not, is producing revenue, and so that's what's 487 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 4: going to be hard to let go of. I would 488 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 4: I would venture to say I'd like to see them 489 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 4: go the international route and play forty minute games. I 490 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 4: believe the intensity would be ratcheted up in playing forty 491 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 4: minute games. And then if you if you really want 492 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: to make the regular season meaningful, you have to introduce 493 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 4: the idea of relegation. You have to introduce the idea 494 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 4: that if you fall below a certain level, then you 495 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: are going to be in a second division and you're 496 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 4: not going to be eligible, whether it's for certain revenue 497 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 4: or playing for playoffs, or whatever it may be. So 498 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 4: that teams throughout the year are fighting in scratching not 499 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 4: to be relegated and fall out of the picture, because 500 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 4: that's how it works in international international soccer. And as 501 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 4: for the tanking and teams moving towards the lottery, the 502 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 4: reality is in this year, in particular, this is an 503 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 4: incredible draft, and I see it's several teams that are 504 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 4: leading the way in tanking Utah and Washington that it's 505 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 4: clear that they're only doing it because of this draft. 506 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 4: They loaded their rosters at the trade deadline with talent 507 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 4: that suggests that they're going to be looking to compete 508 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 4: next year. I don't have a problem with a team 509 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 4: doing a one off tank job in order to get 510 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 4: a top player, especially in markets that generally can't get 511 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 4: free agents, and if it's clearly just a one off 512 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 4: and it's a draft like this, so I think we 513 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 4: have to look at what are the circumstances. But as 514 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 4: I see it, if you reduced it to sixty five 515 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 4: able to fifty five games, you know, somehow, some way 516 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 4: it would work for a while, and then they'd only 517 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 4: care about like the same thing. It would evolve where 518 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 4: it's like, where are the benchmarks for making the postseason? 519 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 7: We're just going to play in order to reach those. 520 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 4: We're going to We're playing fifty five games. If we're 521 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 4: in the top six and we're good after thirty five games, 522 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 4: then we're still we're the forty five games, then we're 523 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: still may take it easy to last ten. So I 524 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 4: think that I think it really you have to you 525 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 4: have to put a little more teeth into the at 526 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 4: the cost of not playing every game and looking to 527 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 4: win every game. If you want to stop what we're seeing. 528 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: Hey, Eric, we were treated to the sheer domination of 529 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: Wemban Diama yesterday. When does he score one hundred and 530 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,719 Speaker 1: one of these bad game scenarios stretch? 531 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good question. I don't know that he 532 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 4: has the mindset of that as a goal, but certainly 533 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 4: he's getting to a place where figuring it out so 534 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 4: quickly and with the range, the combination of the range, 535 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 4: the mid range, the what. 536 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 7: Is like he's the. 537 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 4: New Lebron James in terms of in transition. If you 538 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 4: see that guy coming down the lane, it's not that 539 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 4: he's going to run you over, It's that he like 540 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 4: you could be right in front of him and he'll 541 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 4: euro step you and you're six feet away from him. 542 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 4: It's it's I just and and he's ten feet above you. 543 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 4: That I played a pickup game one time with Magic Johnson, 544 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 4: and I don't know how it happened, but I had 545 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 4: to pick him up in a fast break in the 546 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 4: middle of the floor and his knees were like, you know, 547 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 4: in my chest. 548 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 7: And the whole time I'm there. 549 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 4: Just going please pass the ball, Please pass the ball. 550 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 4: Somebody to be open on the wing. 551 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 7: Because otherwise I was going to end up in the stanchion. 552 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 4: I mean, it was just And so that's Magic Johnson. 553 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 2: He's six'. 554 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 4: Nine this dude's another to add another foot to.
