<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're gonna go ahead and put up there.

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 4>What we were just talking about. What should Steph Curry do?

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Mmmm?

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 4>He could do another year with the Warriors, he could

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 4>look for another team, or he could just retire.

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:46.199
<v Speaker 2>What's his contract situation? Does he have two years left

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>on his contract? I'd like to know what they're doing

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 2>with Draymond Green and are they gonna stay with Jimmy Butler.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Paulie, I have Steph Curry having one more year

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 5>on contract at fifty nine million dollars.

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Celtics rolled the Knicks.

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>They shot forty five percent from three point range, and

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:08.600
<v Speaker 2>if the Celtics do that, they're going to win.

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 3>New York's still up three to two.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>The series now shifts to New York, where the Celtics

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.639
<v Speaker 2>are two and a half point underdogs.

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 3>On Friday Night, Wow, the.

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Pressure on the Knicks, the Celtics, they can be free,

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>they can be loose. If you don't win, well you

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't have your best player. But the Knicks in the

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 2>garden and if you lose and it goes back to Boston,

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 2>might be the final night for the Nuggets. The Thunder

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 2>are four and a half point favorites in Denver with

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that game. So you have Game six coming up tonight

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Thunder and the Nuggets PGA championship underway in North Carolina.

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 2>It's Quail Hollow And the NFL schedule was released last night,

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 2>which means we make the smooth segue to Ross Tucker,

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 2>CBS Sports Westwood One, NFL college football analyst, host of

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>the Ross Tucker Football podcast, and he was also hosting

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Westwood ones Live NFL schedule release show last night. Ross,

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>great to see you. What stood out from the schedule

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>release last night?

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think the first thing that stood out to me,

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 6>Dan is that Westwood one even has a schedule release

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 6>show on the radio, and that they.

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 7>Asked me to do it.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 6>I'm as curious as anybody to hear what the ratings

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:30.200
<v Speaker 6>are like for people hearing me talk about.

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 7>The schedule that come out.

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 8>It's really unbelievable the way Ross. It's kind of like

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 8>this show. We don't want to know the numbers. It's

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 8>just let us assume a lot of people are watching

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 8>and listening.

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 3>That's all. Don't get caught up at that.

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's changed so much from when I was

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 6>a player. But like the Today's Show and Good Morning America,

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 6>they're like announcing these games during the NBA playoffs, which

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 6>is hilarious.

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 7>By the way, Happy Bird, I'm honored to be on

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 7>during your birthday.

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 6>Please don't talk about wings and a nice salum about

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 6>to have like a yogurt parfe or something in my house.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 7>But you know, so it's so funny.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 6>Dan, as a former player, the first thing that jumped

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 6>out to me about the schedule is the Cowboys.

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 7>My mind is blown. Right now, they get four weekends off.

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 6>Okay, they have four Thursday games all right now. Two

0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 6>of those are back to back, so they'll just have

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.479
<v Speaker 6>a regular week when they have them back to back,

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 6>but they have a bye and then those other three

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 6>Thursday games. If you're a player and you have a

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 6>Thursday game, you get the weekend off. So you know,

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 6>fans don't look at this as much as like a

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 6>player does. But it used to be you only have

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.520
<v Speaker 6>one by week and maybe you get the weekend off,

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 6>but the coach still might have you something to doing

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 6>something on Friday. The Cowboys players having four weekends off

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 6>during football season is like the crazy thing I've ever seen.

0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but do you think, like, why would the NFL

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 3>do this?

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 6>Well, because they want to put the Cowboys in as

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.039
<v Speaker 6>many standalone games as possible, not just.

0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.719
<v Speaker 3>Gonna be good. The over under seven and a half wins.

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 7>It's unbelievable.

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 6>You know what, It doesn't matter that they care about

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 6>the ratings.

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 7>I literally just.

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 6>Interviewed Mike North, the VP of broadcasting for the NFL,

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 6>for the Ross Tucker Podcast, and I was really curious

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 6>about Thanksgiving right the Thanksgiving Day game is Chiefs Cowboys.

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 6>And my argument to Mike was, everybody watches the Thanksgiving

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 6>game anyway.

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 7>Like everybody.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 6>Do you know anybody that doesn't have the game on

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 6>the TV on Thanksgiving?

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 7>Their point was, let's see if we can break records.

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:50.480
<v Speaker 7>Let's not just.

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 6>Say hey, everybody's gonna watch anyway. We're gonna get thirty

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 6>five million people. Let's see how far we can take

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 6>this thing and push the limit. And the Chiefs and

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 6>the Cowboys are easily the two highest rating teams in

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 6>the NFL right now, which is why they put them

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 6>together on Thanksgiving.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.200
<v Speaker 2>The first thing that jumped out at me is the

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Steelers playing the Jets to open the season. And do

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 2>you do this as just a oh, we didn't realize that,

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>or is it Well, of course we're going to open

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 2>up with this because Aaron Rodgers is going to play

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Week one for the Steelers.

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, at a minimum, they know that Justin Fields it's

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 6>an awkward situation because he got benched last year. The

0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 6>Steelers tried to resign a this offseason. They wanted him

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 6>when they couldn't get Matthew Stafford. They wanted to bring

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Fields back, but not enough. They didn't pay him enough,

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.559
<v Speaker 6>and Field's probably wasn't happy about getting benched.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 7>I don't blame him, so he goes to the Jets.

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 6>So there's already a built in intrigue in storyline.

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 3>I can't buy into the Justin Field storyline.

0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm going to watch I do like Justin

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not going, Oh man, this is payback time

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 2>for Justin Fields against the Steelers.

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 7>The Rogers thing.

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 6>I think that they strongly suspect Rogers will play for

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 6>the Steelers, and that obviously takes to another level, which

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 6>I think brings up a really interesting point. At this point, Dan,

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 6>why hasn't Aaron signed yet?

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 7>Okay, you could.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 6>Have made the argument if he's gonna play, you could

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 6>have made the argument he wanted to wait to see

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 6>how the draft played out.

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 7>Right, at this point.

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 6>The only reasonable I'll say this, there's two reasonable arguments

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 6>for why he hasn't signed yet.

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 7>One is that you never know what happened.

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 6>With other teams like Derek Carr and the Saints retiring,

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 6>and theoretically that gives him another option. Or two, he

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 6>doesn't want to take crap from people like me for

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 6>not being at the offseason program.

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 7>He doesn't want to go to Pittsburgh.

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.080
<v Speaker 6>And may he does not want to do OTAs, he

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 6>does not want to do mini camp.

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 7>He's gonna wait as.

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 6>Long as he can so he doesn't get criticism for that.

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 7>I got news for you, Aaron. I'm gonna criticize you anyway.

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 6>If you know you're gonna go to the Steelers and

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 6>you're with a new team, a new offense with Arthur

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 6>Smith all those other guys are out there with phase

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 6>two of the offseason program right now. Don't tell me

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 6>you're committed. Don't tell me you want to win games

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 6>this year. Don't tell me it's a priority if you're

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:31.840
<v Speaker 6>not there working with your new teammates in your new offense.

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to figure out those some of these teams

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 2>who are going to be in primetime, like the Dolphins, Well,

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.359
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins have like five primetime games?

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Correct? Why?

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 6>Dan, we're sharing a brain here. That was one of

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 6>the things I was going to bring up. If you

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 6>brought it up. The teams, I'm surprised. So the primetime

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 6>games is the most interesting aspect of the schedule release

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 6>because that's the NFL telling you who they think will

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 6>be good or interesting and who they think won't. Right,

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 6>So no primetime games for the Browns, Titans or Saints.

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.959
<v Speaker 6>Titans maybe the most interesting there since they just had

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 6>the number one overall pick, who people already feel like

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 6>got disrespected.

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 7>But the Dolphins, I think the Chargers is interesting that

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 7>they got five primetime games.

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:26.720
<v Speaker 6>The Falcons, the Atlanta Falcons, Okay, five primetime games?

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Why why?

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 6>Like they're not even the favorite in the NFC South,

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 6>which isn't a great division.

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 7>The Bucks are, and then I think the Niners is interesting, right.

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 6>The NFL is betting on a big comeback from the Niners.

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 6>But I agree the Dolphins jumped out to me for sure.

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 6>Among that group of teams, they all get five primetime games,

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 6>where the Titans, Saints, and Browns get zero.

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to see the Browns in primetime, do you?

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Unless Shador Sanders is playing.

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 7>I do want to see him.

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 6>You know why, because I think it's gonna be Shador

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 6>Sanders Dylan Gabriel starting.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 7>If you look at the trade they made week one.

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.679
<v Speaker 6>I don't know about Week one, but I think both

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 6>of those kids are going to start a bunch of

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 6>games this year so that the Browns find out what

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 6>they have in them.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, okay, but could you imagine this, Ross we're

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 2>talking to Ross Tucker. Okay, what if Shadoor Sanders ends

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 2>up starting for the Browns and Aaron Rodgers doesn't play

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.079
<v Speaker 2>for the Steelers and they have Mason Rudolph and they

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 2>decided to pass on Shadoor Sanders. I think shoud Or

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Sanders is going to play he's going to start games

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.840
<v Speaker 2>this year for the Browns. But Pittsburgh we thought was

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.839
<v Speaker 2>going to take him and they passed on him. Well,

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>you know everybody did, but that to me, could you

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 2>imagine if he starts for the Browns and let's say

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.559
<v Speaker 2>he is good, you have Mason Rudolph and you decided

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>to pass on Shador Sanders. How do you think that's

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 2>going to go over in Pittsburgh?

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 6>Not real Well, especially when they could have taken him

0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 6>with that third round pick.

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 7>You know you can argue, Okay, he's not worth the

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:02.360
<v Speaker 7>first rounder.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 6>They didn't have a second rounder when they passed on

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 6>him in the third round. I was floored because he

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 6>had this great meeting with Mike Tomlin.

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 7>By the way, Mike Tomlin evidently has a lot of

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:17.079
<v Speaker 7>great meetings. He had a great meeting with Theirs. He

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 7>had a terrific meeting with Sador Sanders.

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 6>You know what the problem is, neither one of those

0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 6>guys played for the Steelers.

0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 7>Well, it's the meeting for.

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 2>All surgeries are successful surgeries on athletes, right, All Mike

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Tomlin interviews are great interviews. You know, the only team

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 2>that we've heard, like the Giants, didn't have a good

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>interview with shaidor Sanders like that came out and everybody

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 2>criticized the reporters say, hey, you know, put a name

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.599
<v Speaker 2>to this, and you know whatever, They didn't have a

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 2>good meeting with Shador Sanders. But I do think he's

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 2>going to start games for them, and uh, I think

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.120
<v Speaker 2>that that's going to be an interesting storyline no prime

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 2>time games. I don't know if there's any flex in

0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 2>at any point during the season where you go, you

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>don't let's take the Cleveland Browns because of Shador Sanders.

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 3>I would do that.

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 7>I totally agree.

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 6>Let's look at this logically, right if you think about

0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 6>what the Browns did with the Travis Hunter trade and

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 6>getting the Jaguars first round pick in twenty twenty six,

0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 6>they clearly, I think, realize they don't have a franchise quarterback.

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.839
<v Speaker 6>They need to try to find one. And what I

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 6>would argue is why does it make sense. I mean,

0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.199
<v Speaker 6>maybe they'll do it for a couple games, but does

0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 6>it make sense to start Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 6>this year?

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 7>The Browns are not going to the Super Bowl.

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 6>They're highly unlikely to even go to the playoffs. I

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 6>think that they took Gabriel and then in particular Shador Sanders.

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.319
<v Speaker 7>I think they thought it was value. I think it's

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 7>a couple of lottery tickets.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 6>Let both these guys start five or six games this year.

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 6>Maybe we hit on one of them, maybe one of them

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 6>is the starter, and then we can use those two

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 6>first round picks next year to make the team better

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:03.240
<v Speaker 6>around him.

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 7>If not, no harm, no foul.

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 6>We'll get our franchise quarterback next year with these two

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 6>first round picks in a draft that's considered to be

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 6>much better at the quarterback position.

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Would you rather watch Travis Hunter play or should or

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Sanders play?

0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 6>Ooh, I'm gonna say Travis Hunter. I think I'm curious

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 6>about Shador just like everybody else's.

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 7>But I'm fascinated by Travis Hunter.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 6>I told you last time I was on I think

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 6>he's the best college football player I've ever seen, and

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 6>I just want to see him play both ways, see

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 6>how well it goes, and see what he is on

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 6>both sides of the ball, and if it makes sense,

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 6>like if he's an above average starter on both sides

0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 6>and he's playing a lot of snaps, does that make sense?

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 6>Or would you rather have him try to specialize in

0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 6>one and be elite because average starters get one sound,

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 6>Elite players or above average starters get one salary.

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.559
<v Speaker 7>Elite players get paid a lot more.

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 6>This is We've never seen it before and I'm fascinating

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:10.320
<v Speaker 6>to see how it plays out.

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Great to see you. Thank you, Ross.

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.120

<v Speaker 2>BGA Championship getting underway. Quay o'hallow. You know there was

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 2>an interesting quote about this golf course. Now, I played

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 2>this golf course. This is many many years ago, beautiful

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 2>golf course. But there was a quote that I saw.

0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Mayhan used to be a top top golfer. He

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>said that he was describing this golf course. He said,

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 2>quail Hollow is well like a Kardashian. It's very modern, beautiful,

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 2>well kept, but it lacks a soul or character.

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.480
<v Speaker 3>Golf stras. Yeah, who would have.

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:33.080

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 10>you to a more efficient process. All you have to

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.720
<v Speaker 10>do is pull up Noop Dogg's appearance on the show

0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 10>and watch the speed round footage. And what that's going

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.919

<v Speaker 12>Good morning, DP, first time, longtime five eight one seventy five.

0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 12>I wanted to call in and say happy birthday. We

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:36.960
<v Speaker 12>share the same birthday, same month, same day, different year.

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, happy birthday, Erin, thank you, good luck more guys, all.

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Right, happy birthday and a happy birthday.

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 3>Lathan in Texas, Hi, Lathan.

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 13>Good morning, mister Patrick, have birthday to you.

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 13>You do not look at a day past thirty five.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Thank thank you.

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.639
<v Speaker 13>I agree with Seaton on this Aaron Rodgers thing. I

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 13>personally think that if you were considering playing again post

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 13>retirement or this is I'm joint to retirement playing again,

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.639
<v Speaker 13>and you figured out that the person that screwed you

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 13>over is your Week one opponent, then that's going to

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 13>make you want to play even more.

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that.

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 13>I don't think the Steelers have really much to do

0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 13>with it, but I think Aaron, knowing that he could

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.680
<v Speaker 13>play the Jets Week one, gets him a little more

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 13>off the couch. Oh.

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if Aaron like he's going to come

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>back just because he wants to prove the Jets wrong

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:45.399
<v Speaker 2>and you're going to face them week one. I just

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 2>find it highly coincidental then that we're going to make

0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 2>this about justin fields getting back at the Steelers. I mean,

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 2>they're going to play each other, we know that, but

0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.879
<v Speaker 2>to lead off this season with them, that's just what

0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 2>If you said it was week seven, then I'd be like, Okay,

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have read anything into it. But week one,

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 2>it just fel you know, in the NFL manipulates the schedule.

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.719
<v Speaker 2>They decide who's in prime time, they decide who's going

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 2>to be overseas, So why wouldn't you manipulate this if

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 2>you thought you were you could do it for the

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:22.960
<v Speaker 2>right reasons. And that is Aaron Rodgers playing for the

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Steelers against the Jets. That's the only thing I thought of.

0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 2>And like, Miami's got five prime time games. I don't

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.960
<v Speaker 2>know why, but they win eight games last year and

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.199
<v Speaker 2>this is a make or break season. It feels like

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:40.159
<v Speaker 2>for the head coach, the quarterback probably throw in Tyreek

0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:45.959
<v Speaker 2>Hill as well. This might be last call when you

0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.879
<v Speaker 2>think about what they've done trying to do. Buffalo is

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 2>still great.

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Watching Miami, Yeah, Pauling.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.119
<v Speaker 5>Didn't you think going into the draft or after the

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:00.919
<v Speaker 5>draft that ty Kill would be shipped?

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 3>I did, Yeah, I did.

0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 2>It almost felt like he wanted to be And then

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 2>he sends out these cryptic messages or emojis, and then

0:20:08.760 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 2>you're like, OK, I don't know what he's saying. You know,

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the King of emojis. I don't know what he's saying

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 2>in his emojis. But it felt like he wanted to

0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 2>get out before everybody wanted to get out. But I

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 2>think this is this is one of those years for

0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Tua stay healthy and make the playoffs, and Mike McDaniel,

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.120
<v Speaker 2>you're probably a make or break year for your head

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>coach as well. What's Tyreek thirty one?

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 5>He's thirty one. Last year in seventeen games, eighty one

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 5>catches just less than a thousand yards, which for anyone

0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 5>else would be great, but the year before he had

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and nineteen catches for eighteen hundred yards.

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he wasn't healthy last year, but yeah, there's certain

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 2>certain teams where and people have this twisted a little bit.

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 3>With the Commanders. I love the story.

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 2>I just have to be honest when I see what

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 2>they did and how they won what six or seven

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 2>games in their last possession, the odds are not going

0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.439
<v Speaker 2>to be with you, and your schedule will be a

0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 2>little more demanding, and now you're not sneaking up on people.

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 3>That's another thing, you know.

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we have that team where they surprise you and

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 2>then you go, oh, make way, they're going to go

0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 2>up even higher, and then they take a step back.

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I've just seen it too many times. But I'm in

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 2>no way rooting against them. I think it's a wonderful story.

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 2>They're going to host the draft. You know in a

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 2>couple of years. You've got a great quarterback, I like

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.119
<v Speaker 2>the coach. You've got an ownership that you can respect.

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.240
<v Speaker 2>They're going to have a new stadium downtown. There's a

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of momentum going on there. And that's great because

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 2>having been there when they had the Hogs and Joe thisman,

0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Joe Gibbs, I mean I got to see RFK. That

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 2>place rocked. It was in a great stadium, but that

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:03.359
<v Speaker 2>atmosphere was wonderful, wonderful one of my favorite venues to

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 2>be and it's the atmosphere. It's not necessarily the amenities.

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm not walking around going hey what do

0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 2>they have on tap here? I'm just looking at what

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.919
<v Speaker 2>a football atmosphere is like. And RFK Stadium is up

0:22:15.960 --> 0:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>there with any of the other stadiums that you want

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to put them up against. Do you want to update

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 2>the poll results? Their seat and we'll get to Jason

0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Kidd coming up.

0:22:27.600 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we got up there right now? What should Steph

0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Curry do?

0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:33.440
<v Speaker 14>Stay with the Warriors, sign a deal elsewhere or retire

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 14>right now? Fifty nine percent of the audience have him

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 14>staying with the Warriors, followed by signadilla elsewhere. Only seventeen

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.520
<v Speaker 14>percent have him retirem Yeah.

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Cowboys got a lot of love last night,

0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 2>because the Cowboys always do. The Cowboys are the first

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 2>team in NFL history to play six consecutive games against

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:54.920
<v Speaker 2>teams that won at least eleven games the previous season.

0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 2>So weeks twelve through seventeen, they got Philly, Casey, Detroit, Minnesota,

0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the Rams, and Washington.

0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:09.399
<v Speaker 3>Now stand of.

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:13.439
<v Speaker 12>A day stand of to day stand outa day stand

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 12>outa day This is the stand of the.

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Day, brought you by Pandia America.

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 2>And you also have primetime games, but you also have

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 2>standalone games. The Chiefs and the Cowboys and the Commanders

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:32.439
<v Speaker 2>have eight standalone games this season, tied for most in

0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. So standalone could be Monday night, Sunday night,

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night, Saturday game, international game. The Cowboys have at

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:46.200
<v Speaker 2>least seven standalone games eight times in the last twenty years.

0:23:47.280 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 3>That's staying power.

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>The Chiefs have had seven or more standalone games four

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:57.399
<v Speaker 2>times over that same span as well. The Chiefs and

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys, the networks love them. Travis Kelcey was asked

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:07.159
<v Speaker 2>about playing overseas and uh, it didn't sound too excited.

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Although I saw Kelsey he dropped twenty five pounds. And

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 2>he was asked about playing in Brazil on his New

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Heights podcast.

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 15>I mean I'll be there, not to do a podcast. Yeah,

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 15>I'll be there pretty busy in the heat. There's just

0:24:24.440 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 15>something about getting closer to the equator that I don't

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 15>want to put on football uniform doing.

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:30.959
<v Speaker 11>That, especially in September.

0:24:31.040 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 15>I've been in Jacksonville in September and that's miserable. I'd

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 15>rather be dry than humid. I'm a sweaty I like

0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:41.159
<v Speaker 15>when I'm definitely.

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:44.000
<v Speaker 11>Water around South Polo. But I think it's rivers or

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:44.720
<v Speaker 11>something like that.

0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 15>Right, Yeah, No, I'm if it's hot and humid and

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:49.640
<v Speaker 15>kind of what I'm expecting, I'm going to be miserable,

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 15>but we're going to find a way to get a win.

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I like Jason Kelcey give me geography lessons on South Paulow.

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 2>There are rivers around there or something, right, Yeah, yeah,

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I think so. They're like hip meatheads, Yeah, very rich

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 2>hip meatheads. We'll take a break. We'll talk to Jason

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Kidd when we return here on The Dan Patrick Show.

<v Speaker 2>hour joining us now Hall of famer Jason Kidd, mAbs

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:32.040
<v Speaker 2>head coach and won an NBA championship with the Maps

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:35.680
<v Speaker 2>back in twenty eleven. Two time Olympic gold medalist. We

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.160
<v Speaker 2>were just wondering where do you rank on the all

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:41.439
<v Speaker 2>time assist list. Let's go around the room and guess

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 2>where is Jay Kidd on the all time list?

0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 3>There?

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Todd third, third, Okay, Seaton two, Marvin third, Paul two.

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go four. Where is Jay Kidd on

0:25:58.359 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the all time assists list?

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 5>Stocked number one? Chris Paul new number two spot, Jason

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 5>Kidd in a three spot? Lebron James on his heels?

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Is Lebron going to catch j kibs?

0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 5>He's got five hundred and eight to go.

0:26:14.200 --> 0:26:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Man, you're getting kicked. You're getting kicked down here? Man,

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 2>how are you doing?

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 11>I'm doing great, Dan, I'm doing great. Yes, that happens.

0:26:23.640 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 11>I didn't play long enough.

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 2>Best passer though, in the history of the game, is

0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 2>who not who had the most assists?

0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Best passer?

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:38.520
<v Speaker 11>Best passer. I'm gonna go with Stockton. Why is I

0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:41.280
<v Speaker 11>think you know the bounce pass he had, big hands,

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 11>could take it off the dribble, could pause with it.

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:50.760
<v Speaker 11>Some would say is maybe double dribble. But I think

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 11>he knew how to manipulate the ball off the dribble

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 11>and being able to find his target, and he has

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 11>some pretty good targets.

0:26:58.359 --> 0:27:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but when did carrying become legal in the NBA?

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 11>In nineteen sixty sixty. Well, it's always been a part

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:09.240
<v Speaker 11>of the game.

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Well no, no, like now it's just you can have

0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:14.440
<v Speaker 2>your hand on the bottom of the ball and then

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.040
<v Speaker 2>go Was it Iverson who started it?

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 11>I don't think it was Iverson. I think it's the

0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 11>guy we were just talking about.

0:27:23.359 --> 0:27:24.840
<v Speaker 3>Was the first guy to carry the ball.

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:28.600
<v Speaker 11>I think if you look at Stockton, he knew how

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 11>to manipulate the driven.

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Was he dirty?

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 11>He was smart?

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:40.640
<v Speaker 3>Where were you on Lottery night?

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 11>Lottery night? I was in Newport Beach at a board

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:52.160
<v Speaker 11>meeting for Gold Rental and I thought, okay, well we're

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:55.600
<v Speaker 11>going to probably fall backwards instead of going forward. So

0:27:56.160 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 11>my phone started to go crazy during the meeting, and

0:28:00.720 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 11>I kept texting the person back saying are you sure

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 11>it's not you're missing a one? Because he goes, you're

0:28:06.400 --> 0:28:09.960
<v Speaker 11>in the top four and I mean fourteen and he

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.640
<v Speaker 11>goes no, and he goes, I think you just got one.

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.160
<v Speaker 11>I go, you mean we stayed at eleven and uh,

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:17.120
<v Speaker 11>And then my phone started going crazy.

0:28:17.200 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 3>So that's where I was, Wait, you're not even watching

0:28:20.680 --> 0:28:21.280
<v Speaker 3>the lottery.

0:28:22.200 --> 0:28:25.000
<v Speaker 11>I you know, things just weren't going well for us.

0:28:26.080 --> 0:28:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Really, what else has happened this year, a lot.

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 11>Of injuries, a lot of inies, but I just felt,

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 11>you know, we were going to stay around eleven, if

0:28:38.480 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 11>not go backwards, just the way that things were going

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:44.560
<v Speaker 11>for us this year. But incredible to get number one.

0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 11>Everyone's excited, the organization, the city, the MAVs fans, and

0:28:50.160 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 11>also the head coach. So we're really excited about being

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:54.080
<v Speaker 11>number one.

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Planning on keeping the pick and taking Cooper Flag.

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 11>Yes, I'm just the coach, So yes, I would say

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:05.760
<v Speaker 11>that we're all concentrating on number one. The draft is

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 11>deep and so, but as the name you just brought up,

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:11.760
<v Speaker 11>I think we're all focused.

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 3>On Have you spoken to Cooper Flag.

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 11>I have not spoken to Cooper Flag. I don't want

0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 11>to break any of the rules and get us in trouble,

0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:22.520
<v Speaker 11>so I want to make sure that when I do

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 11>answer these questions that you know the speculation is is

0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 11>Cooper Flag. But there's you know, we got to go

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 11>through the process.

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So you would get in trouble if you did

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 2>reach out to Cooper Flag before the draft?

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.880
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, well no, not not technically. Once we bring him in,

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 11>we'll get out his name. I would. I'm trying to

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 11>be politically correct here and make sure that we don't

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 11>get in trouble and I don't step on any toes.

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so the kid from Duke there we go. Are

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:53.280
<v Speaker 3>you are?

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:55.080
<v Speaker 11>You're excited? We're excited.

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to get you fined. Okay, thank you,

0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 3>thank you.

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 11>I can't afford the fine. And so we're excited about

0:30:04.720 --> 0:30:08.080
<v Speaker 11>the kid at Duke. I can't wait to talk to

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 11>the coach over there, coach Shire and also a good

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:14.880
<v Speaker 11>friend of mine, coach k a mentor, and get some

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 11>background on the kid at Duke. We're really excited about

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 11>this opportunity.

0:30:21.840 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>You were twenty one as a rookie. I can't imagine

0:30:25.920 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 2>what nineteen is going to be like for the kids

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:31.880
<v Speaker 2>from Duke. How is that different or has the game

0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.520
<v Speaker 2>made it easier for that transition for somebody that young.

0:30:36.120 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 11>No, I don't know if it's easier. I think eighteen,

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 11>he's going to be drafted. He'll be eighteen and doesn't

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 11>turn nineteen until December, and so just understanding he's young,

0:30:48.600 --> 0:30:53.200
<v Speaker 11>but he's very talented, can play both ends, and so

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 11>being able to have older players and when I say

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 11>that out of respect, they're not dinosaurs. But when you

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 11>look at the age kai ad guys that are here,

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 11>Clay can definitely help him with the process of going

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 11>through a rookie season.

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 2>And the kid from Duke doesn't have to walk in

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and be the savior like he probably would have been

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, DC or maybe Charlotte. That you can kind

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:21.440
<v Speaker 2>of ease him in to being a third or fourth

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:22.360
<v Speaker 2>option on the team.

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I think this is a great situation for him.

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 11>I think when you talk about the different guys that

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:32.959
<v Speaker 11>we have already on the team, the pressure of living

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:36.920
<v Speaker 11>up to number one will be a lot easier with

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:39.960
<v Speaker 11>the talent around him. When you talk about the other clubs,

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.400
<v Speaker 11>he would have to, you know, produce right away at

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 11>a high, high level. And so I think this is

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 11>a great situation for him to grow his game where

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.760
<v Speaker 11>the pressure isn't as high, but we are playing for

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 11>a championship and so it would be a lot of fun.

0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Jason Kidd, Hall of Famer, Mavericks head coach. How were

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:03.640
<v Speaker 2>you told that you had just traded Luca?

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:09.320
<v Speaker 11>I was told by my boss Nico that we were

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 11>going to make a change.

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 3>But where where give me the give me this scenario.

0:32:13.080 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 11>Hotel, This is in the hotel in Cleveland, and so

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:19.680
<v Speaker 11>he said the news was going to hit in an

0:32:19.720 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 11>hour and and that's how it went down. And so, uh,

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 11>when he told me, I started, I went back to

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.040
<v Speaker 11>my room to start figuring out how we're going to

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 11>use a d and Christy because of this change.

0:32:32.280 --> 0:32:34.479
<v Speaker 2>And so so you found out you didn't even get

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a chance to argue.

0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 11>No, there was there's no arguing. This is this is

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.840
<v Speaker 11>what was going to take place. And so uh, for me,

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 11>it's to to move forward from past experiences as a player.

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 11>I've been traded the day after Christmas, I think from Dallas,

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 11>uh to Phoenix and thinking they were trading uh Jimmy

0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 11>or Jamal and they told me that they were trading

0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 11>me and so and so just understanding that the train

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 11>keeps moving. And I thought my players and my coaching

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 11>staff did an incredible job with you know, once they

0:33:09.680 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 11>heard the news of preparing to keep moving forward and

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:16.680
<v Speaker 11>and especially with all the trade and the injuries, I

0:33:16.720 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 11>thought we did an incredible job.

0:33:18.640 --> 0:33:20.320
<v Speaker 3>When's the last time you spoke to Luca?

0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 11>I texted him on that morning, Uh, and that's the

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 11>last time I've talked to him.

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.120
<v Speaker 3>How did he respond? To your text.

0:33:30.600 --> 0:33:33.600
<v Speaker 11>I don't think he was too happy, and just again

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 11>from the experience of being traded, you know, maybe being surprised,

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 11>you know, upset feelings are high. But again, I loved

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:46.640
<v Speaker 11>the opportunity of coaching Luca. He's an incredible person and

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 11>we all know his talent is one of the best

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 11>in the world. And so you know, again my mindset

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.800
<v Speaker 11>is to deal with the cars that I'm dealt and

0:33:55.880 --> 0:33:59.160
<v Speaker 11>uh and keep pushing forward. And I've always said this

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:01.920
<v Speaker 11>publicly and probably I wish Luca the best. He's one

0:34:01.920 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 11>of the best players in the world.

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were going to say that you meet

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 2>with Nico in his hotel room, he tells you he's

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 2>trading Luca, and then you go back to your hotel

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:10.360
<v Speaker 2>room and cry.

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:13.120
<v Speaker 3>But but but that didn't happen, right.

0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 11>I didn't cry. I was more or less trying to

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 11>figure out how we're going to make this thing work.

0:34:20.040 --> 0:34:23.800
<v Speaker 11>You know, this is a big trade.

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:27.759
<v Speaker 2>But who do you call first after Nico tells you

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:28.880
<v Speaker 2>that you're trading Luca.

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:33.799
<v Speaker 11>I didn't call anybody. I put my phone down and

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:38.239
<v Speaker 11>looked at the ceiling. I started trying to brainstorm of

0:34:38.239 --> 0:34:40.600
<v Speaker 11>how this is going to go down. I did not

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:45.839
<v Speaker 11>call anybody once this hit, and my my job as

0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 11>the coaches is to make sure that we all are

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 11>pushing in the right direction. There was gonna be a

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 11>lot of questions that morning from staff and players, and

0:34:54.640 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 11>I thought Nico did a great job of handling it

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.960
<v Speaker 11>by having the meeting and us pushing forward.

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Anybody have a better handle than Kyrie in that in NBA.

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:12.040
<v Speaker 16>History, Oh, I'm gonna say no, But I'm gonna say

0:35:12.040 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 16>there's some close seconds when you talk about Isaiah Thomas Detroit, Isaiah.

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:20.279
<v Speaker 3>Thomas underrated by the way.

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 11>Very underrated, very underrated. Why I think sometimes it's it's

0:35:28.560 --> 0:35:34.120
<v Speaker 11>our fault we don't we don't bring up Isaiah Jay

0:35:34.160 --> 0:35:38.640
<v Speaker 11>Williams White Chocolate. I thought his handle and his passing

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.760
<v Speaker 11>is incredible storytelling. I don't know if we we don't

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 11>do a good, good enough job of storytelling with Isaiah

0:35:46.680 --> 0:35:52.280
<v Speaker 11>or our past uh players, And so I think Isaiah

0:35:52.320 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 11>would be right there as one b.

0:35:55.360 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I think with isaiah likability, the way they played,

0:35:58.520 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 2>they were the bad boys, you know, they were trying

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 2>to hurt Jordan, and I think that maybe that plays

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:08.120
<v Speaker 2>into it with Isaiah.

0:36:08.200 --> 0:36:09.440
<v Speaker 11>Well, I don't know if they were just trying to

0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 11>hurt Jordan. They were trying to hurt everybody.

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 2>But if the Pistons don't treat Michael that way, Michael

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:22.520
<v Speaker 2>doesn't start weightlifting, and like that made Michael even greater.

0:36:22.719 --> 0:36:26.800
<v Speaker 2>They're responsible for unleashing, you know, the new and improved

0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Michael Jordan.

0:36:28.040 --> 0:36:30.399
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I think. You know, sometimes when we look at

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 11>things that take place in our league, some are looked

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 11>upon as negatives, but a lot of players or coaches

0:36:37.760 --> 0:36:41.080
<v Speaker 11>use them as positives and try to turn it into something.

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:45.319
<v Speaker 11>And as you said, unleashes the beast and Michael and

0:36:45.440 --> 0:36:48.319
<v Speaker 11>he took that and ran with it, got stronger. His

0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 11>game was, his talent was already elite, and so I

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 11>think he used that as motivation to become the best

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:56.720
<v Speaker 11>in the world.

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 17>Do you remember facing him the first time? Yes, Oh

0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:06.759
<v Speaker 17>what happened now? It was actually nice. He was nice

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 17>to me. I'll never forget I ended up on him. Unfortunately,

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 17>I didn't know how the switch happened, but he asked

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 17>me in the post, and all I can think about

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:20.040
<v Speaker 17>is just turn around and fade away and keep it

0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:23.719
<v Speaker 17>simple and nice. But he went baseline and he took

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:27.319
<v Speaker 17>off and unfortunately my wife I didn't. I missed it,

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 17>and I was like, oh, this is going to be

0:37:29.880 --> 0:37:33.319
<v Speaker 17>on ESPN, and he's gonna dunk it and look and

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:35.480
<v Speaker 17>you know, do what he does. But he just did

0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:39.880
<v Speaker 17>a nice little reverse layup and looked and kind of winked,

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:41.880
<v Speaker 17>and I say, oh, man, I'm glad he'd dunk it.

0:37:42.719 --> 0:37:43.880
<v Speaker 11>But he took it easy on me.

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:45.960
<v Speaker 3>But why did you realize he was better than you?

0:37:47.520 --> 0:37:48.680
<v Speaker 11>Oh before tip off?

0:37:50.760 --> 0:37:52.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, you guys have egos.

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like Larry Bird had to get to a

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 2>point where he said, you know what, he's the best

0:37:57.520 --> 0:38:00.359
<v Speaker 2>player in the game. My magic had to you. You're,

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:02.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, pretty tough when you're going to relinquish something

0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:03.120
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:38:04.000 --> 0:38:06.799
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, but I think we all understood when we we

0:38:06.920 --> 0:38:11.120
<v Speaker 11>have to be realistic understanding Michael is the best. And

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:14.440
<v Speaker 11>so coming in as a rookie, you know you wanted

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:18.560
<v Speaker 11>that challenge, you wanted to compete against the best, but

0:38:18.760 --> 0:38:21.960
<v Speaker 11>understanding he was going to win majority of those battles,

0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:25.400
<v Speaker 11>and and he did, and and so you couldn't wait

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:27.399
<v Speaker 11>for that game to be over so that you can

0:38:27.440 --> 0:38:29.640
<v Speaker 11>go play else that you can take a stuff.

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they'll write a book on this year for the

0:38:33.640 --> 0:38:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Dallas Mavericks one day, just this year of everything that's happened,

0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.759
<v Speaker 2>because hard to believe, right, Yeah.

0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:42.359
<v Speaker 11>I think you're right.

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:42.920
<v Speaker 16>Uh.

0:38:43.840 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 11>I think there's someone's gonna write a book.

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Or thirty for thirty on ESPN.

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:51.759
<v Speaker 11>It could be a thirty for thirty for sure. There's

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 11>enough content, you know there when you talk about just

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 11>there was you know, a season within a season and

0:39:00.200 --> 0:39:03.920
<v Speaker 11>there's maybe three seasons just with the trade and with

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:07.400
<v Speaker 11>all the injuries that we had, trying to keep you know,

0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:10.319
<v Speaker 11>pushing forward and finding a way into the playing game

0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:13.840
<v Speaker 11>and winning one and unfortunately coming up short against Memphis,

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:17.759
<v Speaker 11>but just everything that took place. I think there is

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:20.000
<v Speaker 11>a book there and then probably at thirty for thirty.

0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:22.319
<v Speaker 3>Good to talk to you again. Thanks for joining us.

0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:26.680
