23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,240

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: have been our year. That would have been the Mets.

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: I mean now you're you're going off and and diving

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: into the Tigers. Did you not hurt the city of

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: Detroit enough what you did to David Montgomery?

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: You did to the Lions.

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: They've not lost half their coaching staff and Aiden Hutchinson

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: got hurt.

31
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not like. I'm like, I'm a disgraced mayor

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: that spent money they didn't. Oh, you're way worse on man.

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna prosecute Jason Smith. Yeah, a lot of money

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: went missing after he left office, and now seasons of

35
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: parade you cost them. I have Jason Smith's New York

36
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Mets eBay account up here, and boy, you should see

37
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: the stuff he bought. Man, When the when when the

38
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: cash coffers of the city got this influx of money

39
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: that night there was a huge spike in Metskier bought

40
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: on eBay.

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: You sound like you've been reading news out of Chicago

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: and what the mayor might have behind door number two that.

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: But look, look the big news today obviously right as

44
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: we got on the air, Pee Alonzo was back with

45
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: the Mets. Look, it makes sense, it makes sense for everybody. Right,

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: he couldn't get the long term deal he wanted. He's

47
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: back with the team that drafted him. The Mets win,

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: Pee Alonzo wins. You know, two years, fifty four million

49
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: can opt out after this year, thirty million dollars for

50
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: this year, coming off a down year. Everybody wins, The

51
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: world wins, the galaxy wins. Everybody wins, even now Traumata. Yeah,

52
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: even well, I mean they won the MLS Cup too.

53
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: But even like the and Traumata galaxy, which is supposed

54
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: to swallow us in like how many how many billion years,

55
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: like seven billion years supposed to swallow up the our

56
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: galaxy and the Milky Way is gonna be no more. Yeah,

57
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: I mean even they're hearing about it. Then they say't hey,

58
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: we got to travel a few more light years to

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: get there. We got to see pede A Lonzo with

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: and Juan Soto in the same lineup. We got to

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: get there, man.

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: But you gotta be careful after today, I mean, it's

63
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: rumored that Galactus may beat that, you know, nature to

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: the punch.

65
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what Galactus want to get there

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: see the Mets too, Galactus and the Silver Surfer in

67
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: a Steve Cohen box, because you know, Galactus can can

68
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: get either taller. It'd be as big as he wants

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: or as small as he wants, like like Galactus and

70
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: the Silver Surfer in the Mets in Steve Cohen's box

71
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: watching the Mets. I mean, that's pretty cool. Nobody's watching

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the Mets, sure they are.

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: It's like nobody was reading you know, Silver Surfer and

74
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: all those guys, and they were gonna go out of

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 3: the you know, shut down those lines, and all of

76
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: a sudden, we got them in movies again.

77
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: Now look, i'll give you a big before you get

78
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: into the end a trade deadline, I'll give you a big,

79
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: bold prediction right there. Oh, let's get trailer for the

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: Fantastic Four came out yesterday. Now I have not seen

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: the movie, and I'm not a Fantastic Four fan, right,

82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: spoil it? I know, I didn't really collect There's four

83
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: of them.

84
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: There.

85
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: There, there's your spoiler. There's four of them. Uh, Richie

86
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: fights with CARMEI over pasta. That that's the big note. See,

87
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: I hated that in the trailer. That pissed me off. Man.

88
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: I thought that, like, it's so fun, but it's such.

89
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: Lo low obvious joke to throw into the movie.

90
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but nobody knows who he is. Now

91
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: it's oh, it's even Moss background. Oh it's Richie. Oh okay,

92
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: that's who the thing is.

93
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: But everybody knew that it was a big casting because

94
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: the guy got got paid.

95
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Yah, he's kind of seen. Look I like, look, I

96
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: like my Fantastic Four made up out of Richie and

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: the Mandalorian and Princess Margaret and Eddie Munson.

98
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: I think that's a pretty good fantastic I want Michael

99
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: chickliss back.

100
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. But I will tell you this bold prediction.

101
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not I've not been a big

102
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 1: Fantastic four if it didn't collect the comic the movies

103
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: weren't great. But Galactus has the potential to be the

104
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: new Thanos. Like Galactus was always that Fantos was such

105
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: a minor villain in the in the MC in comic books,

106
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: going like like okay, yeah, all right, Thantos is pretty

107
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: good villain. Galactus was always the end all beal right,

108
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: the eater of worlds? Right, he would come and just

109
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: he eats worlds. Like that's a whole great thing. Where

110
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: do you go? How do you go up from Thanos,

111
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: who arguably is the best villain in a in an

112
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: action movie this side of Alan Rickman and Diehard. Uh,

113
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: you go with Galactus because Galactus is a phenomenal villain

114
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: and if it's done right, he can become the new Thanos,

115
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: just if they don't kill him off. Like, hey, darth

116
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: Ball was really cool. Now we're gonna kill him off

117
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: from the first movie. Oh all right, great, as long

118
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: as they don't kill him off, he could be that

119
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: next great villain.

120
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 3: Never even brought him back in Spider for him, no

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: terrible Spider all.

122
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: I was sold a bill of good. That was that was.

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: That was the biggest thing from fan in Menace, Right,

124
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: Remember all the marketing and merchandising and everything was, oh,

125
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: look at this guy and wait, he's got a dual

126
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: sided lightsere, this guy's gonna kick.

127
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: Ass and then he's gone, just like that.

128
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: Spider Malls, Spider Pig, Spider mam. Now look We've had

129
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: some big moad house already in the NBA. Jimmy Butler

130
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: goes to the Warriors, Chris Middleton goes to the Wizards,

131
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: and now Kyle kuz is going to get a chance

132
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: to win more than six games.

133
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: How about that? And as you brought you a few

134
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: minutes ago, Brendon Ingram now is with the Raptors. We

135
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: have Mark Stein coming up in about fifteen minutes. He's

136
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: been on it all day. We have more. He's been

137
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: covering all this, especially the Brandon Ingram trade. But I'll

138
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: tell you what, going into tomorrow now and knowing full

139
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: well that Kevin Durant is not going to reunite with

140
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: the Warriors, which was maybe my favorite part of the day,

141
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: that all this talk the Warriors like yeah, yeah, hey,

142
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: we're open to a reunion with Kevin Durant. Yeah you're open. Yeah,

143
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: And then just when it got to a point where

144
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: we got to talk about a contract, Kevin Durant says, yeah,

145
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: not interested, not coming back there. It's almost like he

146
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: wanted to wait, going Yea'll let them. You know, you

147
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: know what, I'm still mad at them, I'm still mad

148
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: at Draymond. I'm no I'll let them think they have

149
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: a chance. Then when they actually call, I got to

150
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: say something. So I feel like they actually called today

151
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, no, not doing that again. Man, No,

152
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: I've been there, done that. Say good luck.

153
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: So I think the other part of it is that

154
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: he does a He's got a wall of televisions and

155
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: they're all with his social media feeds, and he's highly

156
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 3: entertained while he SIPs some beverage and watches everything being

157
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: put out in terms of theories and how he's feeling,

158
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: and maybe he feeds into it under a burn.

159
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Account every once in a while.

160
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: And he just watched the world spin and everybody get

161
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: themselves in these different trade scenarios, only to just be like,

162
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: all right, I've had enough fun.

163
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Let's get back to reality now. This is where I'd

164
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: like to see him go in the mart I mentioned

165
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: it last night, and the more I couldn't stop thinking

166
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: about it today with all the trades coming out looking

167
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: for where the best fit would be for Kevin Duramtman.

168
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Obviously warriors were mentioned, and look the Suns. It's hard

169
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we're taking calls on Kevin Durant and

170
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: then to not actually trade him, right, it wouldn't be

171
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: the first time, but it's really hard to do that,

172
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: and you know, you're looking for the right fit where

173
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: he could come in and be a scorer, and if

174
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: it's not one of the top teams that's gonna have

175
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: a tough to Hey, you know, we have a team

176
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: we really like and we like our guys. Kevin Durantz

177
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: can kind of be a tough fit. But where I'd

178
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: love to see him go because it would be great

179
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: for the NBA. It would be great for him. He

180
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: would come in as kind of the old head who's

181
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: going to show, hey that there's some talent on this team.

182
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: They've been good for the first time in forever and

183
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: getting there. He could take a big leadership role and

184
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: he could still just go out and score, right, because

185
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: that's what he does at this point. He just he

186
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: still scores twenty seven in a game. He is still

187
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: that elite guy. And it would be great for the league.

188
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: It would be great for the team, be great for

189
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: the city, and it would jazz up the Eastern Conference.

190
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: If the Pistons made a trade for Kevin Durant. See,

191
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: I got you to come all the way over there.

192
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: Let's go. I love to see that. I mean, look

193
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: the I mean, because really that's one of the big

194
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: below under the radar stories of this NBA season, that

195
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: the Pistons who win six games a year are actually good.

196
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: I mean, let's say, all right, they're not actually right,

197
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: they're five hundred, But five hundred for the Pistons is

198
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: like any other team being a seventy two win Bulls team. Right,

199
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I won seventy two games.

200
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 3: But a couple of years ago you were picking them

201
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: as your dark horse, and yeah, you just happened to be.

202
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 1: Uh.

203
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: I guess I was building a bandwagon by yourself, undercover

204
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: of darkness.

205
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: I was just two years early on the Uh, that's

206
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: what I was. It was two years.

207
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 3: I really do think you were launching an attacked where

208
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: you were trying to get into some kind of public

209
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 3: office in Detroit because you started picking every Detroit team.

210
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 3: I love the Tigers, love them sleeping giants. Think about

211
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: Walking Fuss and Jack Morris's mustache and all of those

212
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: guys back in the day. Walking Fuss, Yeah, that's right,

213
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 3: stratumatic baseball.

214
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: He was. He's a guy who had who had the

215
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: stance where his left he was a right handed batter,

216
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and his left foot was over his right foot like

217
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: he had him cross and then he stepped right. That

218
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: was Johnny walking fust. Yeah, okay, Tick.

219
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 3: One of the many guys that was a twenty five

220
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: home run eighty RBI guy for those seventy nine Tigers.

221
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 3: Stratamatic baseball.

222
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: Baby.

223
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 3: But but you did that, you jumped on board the Lions.

224
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: You did the Montgomery thing. Still awkward and then not.

225
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: Now you want Kevin Durant heading to the Pistons, So

226
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 3: there you go.

227
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: I dig it.

228
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: Though, I think it's fun. KD with the Pistons would

229
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: be fantastic because think about how the easiest guy to

230
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: try to slide in would be someone who does one

231
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: thing really well. Right. You need a score. We got

232
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: a score, right, Sometimes we need a distributor. Go get

233
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: a point guard. But KD, as we've seen, he's been

234
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: able to slide in and still score twenty seven a game.

235
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: He can slide in on this Pistons team and not

236
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: disturb all the great stuff they have going on. He

237
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: can be and he can be the leader that they're

238
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: all gonna look up to. It would juice up the East.

239
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: It would juice up the playoffs. No one would want

240
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: to play Kevin Durant Detroit in the first round. I

241
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: mean getting him to go to Detroit hey and sell

242
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: them that, hey, we're on the way back. But hey, look,

243
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: the Lions are really good, the Tigers are really good. Hey,

244
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: why not us? Like, maybe that's the way to do it,

245
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: But man, KD with the Pistons. That's more so than

246
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: the Knicks getting what they need to get, which is

247
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: which is probably another shooter, a little bit of depth,

248
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, so that the guys aren't playing forty six

249
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: minutes a night, the starters, but out I mean more

250
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: so than that. I want to see Katie go to

251
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: the Pistons. Oh, but it'd be like when he went

252
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: to the Warriors.

253
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: Like a lot of the reason he went there was

254
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: because he wanted to tap into Silicon Valley.

255
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: He made a lot of big investments, got involved.

256
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: He's part of a larger conglomerate that does stuff in

257
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 3: sports memorabilia. Maybe maybe he can go to Detroit and

258
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: there's some business that he wants to conduct there. How

259
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: about that finalization of the city led by what's his name?

260
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: Easy Sniper? Isn't that Twitter?

261
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? Let's go him and Kate Cunningham, two of them

262
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: running rough shot. Gonna put more muskrat Dinners on the

00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Legett right?

266
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: Xavier Legette was the guy that was talking about eating

267
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 3: all the different kind of roadkilling stuff. Oh yeah, yeah,

268
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: weird so well, but maybe we could get him to

269
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: really take up the banner, uh for muskrat dinners.

270
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he could be that guy for us? And TJ

308
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: last night after the Luca trade of the Lakers, I

309
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: get that sense what the Lakers are going to be

310
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: like was after they got Paalgasol, They're going to go

311
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: on a run right away. Well, they got another player

312
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: to come in this trade. Just moments ago, Chris Haynes

313
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: reporting the Lakers have traded Dalton Connect. Sorry, Lebron, you're

314
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: not gonna play with Dalt connector Dalton Connect, Cam Reddish

315
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: and Picks to the Hornets for center Mark Williams, who

316
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: has blossomed in his third year in the league. He's

317
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: a seventeen to nine guy, and that's a Hey, maybe

318
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: a D's the MVP. They listened to him. They needed

319
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: that center. He's not on the team anymore, but hey,

320
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: we'll go get that center. This is a phenomenal move

321
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. They have rejolted their team in the

322
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: course of the last four days. You're adding Luca, You're

323
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: adding Williams. I mean, all of a sudden, this could

324
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: be a Lakers run to the top of the Western Conference.

325
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: Look at this.

326
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: You still need a shooter in all this process. But

327
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: bringing in a big center, I mean, don't connect. Was

328
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 3: that was Lebron's guy?

329
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, well they got it. They got a week

330
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: of those. So I think he's okay. Oh, as long

331
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: as he's okay with us. Now to break it all down,

332
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: NBA Insider extraordinary fom on Substack on Twitter at the Steinline,

333
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: everything going on, NBA wise Mark Stein, Mark, Hey, we

334
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: got this big news moments ago. What do you make

335
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: of this deal for the Lakers.

336
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 4: I mean, what a home run? And you know, the Lakers, honestly,

337
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 4: to me, had already won the trade deadline by getting

338
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: Luka Doncic for what you know, everyone around the league,

339
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 4: even with Anthony Davis, included what everyone around the league

340
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 4: regards as a height. But to do this as well

341
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: to get a young center. Now, look, there is an

342
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: injury history that you have to factor in here, but

343
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: Mark Williams has been so impressive in the NBA. I

344
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: do not watch a lot of college basketball. I just

345
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: don't if if my Cal State Fortune Titans aren't playing,

346
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: I just I don't see much. But it was it

347
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: was when Mark Williams was you know, somehow we ended

348
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: up playing Duke in Coach K's last year and I

349
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: got to watch Mark Williams with my own eyes. And

350
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 4: even though Paulo Bankeero was the star on that team,

351
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: I was an instant Mark Williams man watching him in

352
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 4: that game, watching him in person, Like I said, I

353
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: mean I might see one college game a year in person.

354
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 4: So I am by no means, you know, any kind

355
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 4: of scout draft expert, but like, he was so impressive

356
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 4: the first time I saw him in person. And just

357
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: you know, you heard Rob Polinka at the Luka Doncic

358
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 4: press conference talking about if we're going to get a center,

359
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: we want a very mobile center. We want a lob threat,

360
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 4: we want someone with verticality. I mean, Mark Williams has

361
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: all that. So again, the Lakers won the trade headline

362
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 4: without his trade because they were able to get Luca

363
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: or you know, only surrendering one future first round pick.

364
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 4: But you see now how vital it was that the Lakers.

365
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 4: Lakers had two tradable first round picks going into this

366
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: into this last week, and by keeping one of them,

367
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 4: by not sending both to Dallas in the Luka Doncic trade,

368
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 4: they had that twenty thirty one first to give the

369
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 4: Charlotte to get Mark Williams. I mean, you know, people

370
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 4: haven't even been talking about Mark Williams as a potential

371
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: trade target. You know, obviously Nick Richard Charlotte traded him

372
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 4: to Phoenix last month. We've been talking about all manner

373
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 4: of big men not named Mark Williams that were expected

374
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: to be in play at this deadline. Dick Lavuchavich in Chicago, Yaka,

375
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 4: pertl Robert Williams, on and on and on. You didn't

376
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: hear any Mark Williams chatter. So for the Lakers, I mean,

377
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 4: this has been an absolute circus of a deadline, NonStop action.

378
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 4: But look, the surprises keep coming. We're down to you know,

379
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: inside fifteen hours now, but the surprises, you know, twenty

380
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 4: thirty minutes before the Mark Williams deal Toronto got a

381
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: deal for brandon Ingram done. Like it's it's just amazing

382
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: that we've had so much talk about these luxury tax

383
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 4: aprons and how hard it is for teams to make trade,

384
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 4: and it is, it really is hard. But teams have

385
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 4: been so motivated to get business done. And you know,

386
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 4: this is this is going to be as memorable, as

387
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 4: wild and as active a deadline as I've ever recovered.

388
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: And this is year thirty two.

389
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: For me, what's the what's the ceiling now for this

390
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: Laker team? You know, Luca's got to get in, they

391
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: got to get used to these new players here. What's

392
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: the ceiling for the Lakers now this year?

393
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I still, you know, we have to see

394
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 4: it all come together. I mean, obviously Lebron and Luca

395
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 4: haven't played a second yet. I mean at the top

396
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: of the West, you still look Oklahoma City has been

397
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: clear cut.

398
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: Top of the West.

399
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 4: After that, I thought Denver had kind of fixed itself,

400
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: but they've you know, they've had some moments this season,

401
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 4: multiple moments really where they've looked vulnerable. There's been so

402
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 4: much luck in the West really, you know, Houston and

403
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 4: Memphis have been great surprises, but they don't have tons

404
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: of So, look, is there a pathway for the Lakers

405
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: to go on a playoff run? You know what I

406
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: would my instinct says no. But I mean they've already

407
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 4: pulled off two impossible trades that a week ago nobody

408
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 4: would have thought either of these moves would have happened. So,

409
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 4: you know, can they gel? Can they go on a

410
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 4: run under a first year coach? I mean, look, I

411
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 4: can tell you if Luka Doncic is going to be

412
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: so motivated. I mean, he's already been salivating to get

413
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 4: back because of this. This cap injury is the most serious.

414
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: You know, it's the most serious injury of his pro career,

415
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: and he's been so eager to get back, and you know,

416
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: now he's going to come back, you know, really looking

417
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 4: to shove it down the Mavericks throats. To be totally

418
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 4: honest with you, So, I mean the Lakers have a

419
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 4: very motivated new faith of the franchise. They're bringing in Williams.

420
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: I mean, again, I think Oklahoma City is going to

421
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 4: remain the prohibitive favorite to win the West. But this

422
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 4: is on one hand, the conference got a lot tougher

423
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 4: when you know San Antonio now has Fox, he saw

424
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: the Lakers, when he saw the Warriors making their big

425
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: swing today to get Jimmy Butler. I mean, when Jimmy

426
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 4: Butler tweeted about the Wild Wild yesterday, he wasn't joking.

427
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: It's the curiosity mark with Jimmy Butler. Everybody was convinced

428
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 3: or a lot of reporting was all right. Pat Riley's

429
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 3: got his you know, he's drawn his line into saying

430
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: nothing's gonna happen, and instead Butler gets out and gets

431
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: his two year extension. What does that do for Steph Curry,

432
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 3: Draymond Green and company trying to claw back into the

433
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: end of the West.

434
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, I really liked the gamble. I

435
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 4: remain a Jimmy Butler admirer. I know that the last

436
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 4: month plus has been as wild a standoff with a

437
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: franchise as we've seen in a long, long, long time.

438
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 4: You don't see anyone going after pat Riley, going head

439
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: to head with pat Riley like we've seen Jimmy Butler do.

440
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 4: But you know what, Jimmy Butler got what he wanted

441
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 4: in the end, He got an extension tonight. On top

442
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: of the trade to a contender. And look, we've seen

443
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: the Warriors really going back to a year ago, to

444
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 4: last year's trade dead life. If you remember, they were

445
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,479
Speaker 4: trying to convince the Lakers to engage in Lebron James

446
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 4: trade talks and Rich Paul shut those down. Rich Paul

447
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 4: did not want, you know, even to you know, to

448
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 4: that never really went anywhere with the notion of Lebron

449
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 4: getting traded from the Lakers to the Warriors. But Golden

450
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 4: State tried, and then we saw at the draft they

451
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 4: went after Paul George, they went after Lowry market in

452
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 4: after Paul George. They were time. They were trying to

453
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 4: get both of those guys like they have been trying

454
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 4: and trying to and look, they were far down the

455
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 4: line with Kevin Durant. They really made a run at it.

456
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: But Kevin Durant has been sending these signals through back channels.

457
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 4: He did not want to go back to Golden State.

458
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 4: He did not want to go there again. And the

459
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: Warriors finally saying, you know what trading I mean, they

460
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: could have gone through that, they could have gone ahead

461
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 4: and done it anyway, but they basically said trading for

462
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 4: an unhappy Kevin Durant probably not the best move. They

463
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: pivoted to Jimmy Butler and they got it done, and okay,

464
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 4: they had to give up Wiggins, and you know it's

465
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 4: you know, well, I'm sure there will be skeptics, but

466
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: like I said, I think Jimmy Butler remains a huge

467
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 4: difference maker. He's a proven difference maker in the playoffs.

468
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: And you know, I've seen.

469
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 4: Him and Draymond together on an Olympic team in Rio,

470
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 4: and I think I think Stephen Curry is really going

471
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 4: to like playing with him, and he's going to bring

472
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 4: an edge to them and two way play to them

473
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 4: that they don't they haven't had. And also, much like

474
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: Luka Dancic, I think he's going to go in there

475
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 4: with a lot of team. You know, he knows that

476
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 4: he received heaps and heaps of criticism for the way

477
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 4: he's handled things in Miami and the way he tried

478
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 4: to force his way out of there. I mean, we've

479
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 4: we haven't. I'm not sure we've seen a champaign to

480
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 4: get traded quite like it. But again, he got a

481
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: deal in the end. It wasn't the Phoenix.

482
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 3: No.

483
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 4: We've heard over and over and over that Phoenix is

484
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 4: where he wanted to go because that was the place

485
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: most where he was most likely the land and extensions.

486
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 4: But he got an extension tonight, do in addition to

487
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 4: a trade.

488
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: So you know, I.

489
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: Like seeing the warriors being I mean, I'm, I'm it's

490
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: kind of my way. I'm usually gonna when you went.

491
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 4: When a team is bold, more often than not, you're

492
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: gonna win me over. And I like I like the

493
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: I like the bold attempt here, even though there will

494
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: surely be skeptics.

495
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: Mark Stein with us, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon live from

496
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: the tirec dot Com studios. All right, so we mentioned

497
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. He's a huge name. We've heard about the

498
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: last couple of days not happening with Golden State. What

499
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: happens mark the next fifteen hours when it comes to

500
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant.

501
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 4: I really don't think we'll see him go. Now he's

502
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 4: been telling the Sons that he doesn't want them to

503
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 4: trade him, and now that all of these moves, I mean,

504
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 4: just think about I tweeted this earlier tonight. Think about

505
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 4: everything that has happened since twelve twelve am Eastern Time

506
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 4: on Sunday morning and think of all the all the

507
00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 4: guys who've been traded, and so I'm gonna just call

508
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 4: I'm gonna call this tweet up because I don't want

509
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 4: to make sure that I don't forget anybody. Because that

510
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 4: the tweet I had it listed twelve to twelve a

511
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 4: m on Sunday, Jimmy Butler, Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Kusma, Chris Middleton,

512
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 4: the Aaron Fox, Zac Wilbean, Anthony Davis, and Luca all

513
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 4: on new teams. And since then, Brandon Ingram gets traded

514
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: as well. Now the Lakers do this deal. It's just

515
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 4: it's it's it's been, it's been something.

516
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: Man Hey, Mark Joel Embiid got back on the court

517
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 3: and had a triple doubles.

518
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: He want to get traded now?

519
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 4: Now, I mean, honestly, that's you know what I mean,

520
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: that's a huge thing for Philly to see him. I mean,

521
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 4: he admits fifteen straight games to look that good after

522
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 4: such a long absence, Because you know, one of the

523
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: big questions actually going into this deadline was w Philly

524
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 4: just starts to strip down and start trading veterans because

525
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: you know, they're they're so far. You know, they've struggled

526
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: so badly that maybe they should try to tank. But

527
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 4: the thing is their pick is only top six protected.

528
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 4: There's too many bad teams below them. They really can't

529
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: take that route, and so they basically realized, we're just

530
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 4: going to have to do the best we can get

531
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 4: as high up the standings ladder as we can and

532
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 4: make a playoff run. And for Mbat to have a

533
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 4: game like that, I'm sure gives them a little bit

534
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 4: of faith that man, maybe he's you know, okay, he's

535
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 4: had this fifteen game essence, but maybe maybe there's a

536
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 4: maybe there is a bounce back there. That's really the

537
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 4: only option that this Philly team has. And you know,

538
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: they've made some small group moves around the edges, and

539
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 4: that's really to enable him to resign. Gershan Yabucelli, who

540
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: is just he was an Olympic darling. We all remember

541
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 4: that dunk over Lebron But he has been so good

542
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 4: for the Sixers on a two million dollars minimum contract,

543
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 4: and now Philly's gonna be able to keep him in

544
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 4: the off season. But I think, you, guys, I think

545
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 4: a ratby what left like when I was reading that,

546
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 4: I mean, we've mostly we've seen so much. Yeah, there

547
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 4: will still be moves over the next fourteen hours. I

548
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: can promise you there will still be a handful of trade.

549
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 4: But I don't think Durant's on his way. And you know,

550
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 4: I'm hesitant to go any farther because they've just been

551
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 4: surprise after surprise. I think we have seen. I think

552
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 4: we have seen the bulk of the fireworks. But I mean,

553
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: is anybody gonna be surprised if there's more?

554
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: Not?

555
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 4: Not this February.

556
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at the Stile football game this weekend.

557
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: I'm not sure.

558
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: They may cancel the NBA may make Hey Yiannis for

559
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: Wemby on Sunday, and then they'll cancel the game. All

634
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: Look of all the moves today, Mike in the NBA

635
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: all I mean, look, Pete Alonzo going back to the Mets.

636
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: That's number one thing, Number one. I mean, it was

637
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 3: seemed like an afterthought for Monci.

638
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: Number one. Yeah. Well, you know, Manci just doing that

639
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: because she's like, well, you know what, I would have

640
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: put it in the beginning if I knew Jason was

641
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: going to say it was the Kevin Durant to Fox

642
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. So I think next time she'll that'll lead

643
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: with it next time. I'm pretty she knows baseball. Would

644
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: you stop Frost? But you still still want We wouldn't

645
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: want Peter A. Lonzo if you could get him, you

646
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: would still want him. Sorry, man, I'll see you again

647
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: in the NLCS when all the money we spent this

648
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: year is actually going to be on the field and

649
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: not on other teams. We'll see you again in the NLCS.

650
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: Will be fine, be great?

651
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean most of theirs deferred, so they're not

652
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: paying it out. It's just no, it's just earning interest

653
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: somewhere else. So when it comes time to pay and

654
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: it's like, ah, we made that in our investments.

655
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: Well that's the all thing is, Like, you know, last

656
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: year was all We'll look at the teams, at the

657
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: final four teams in baseball, the three of them have

658
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 1: the biggest they spent the most money. And I'm like, yeah,

659
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: but like the third of the Mets money or for

660
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: players they traded last year that they're still paying at

661
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,719
Speaker 1: least now the money, the money's on the field, right

662
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: the Jonah Hill Billy likes to keep the money on

663
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: the field. Steve Cohen now likes to keep the money

664
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: on the field. That that's what we're gonna have.

665
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 3: Still, just need that final third of the league to

666
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: actually participate in free agency.

667
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, it's all right. You just stay home

668
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: if you can, if you can't, if you can't run

669
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: with the big dogs, stay on the porch. It's time

670
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: to relegate them all. Coming up next, we have the

671
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: latest on the biggest latest trade in the NBA. Somebody

Speaker 1: has to get their flowers for what they were able

673
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: to do in an impossible situation. It's coming up next

Speaker 1: big moves today, but something we got about twenty five

683
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: minutes ago. And there's someone that just has to get

684
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: their flowers. Because when you can do the impossible, yeah,

685
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: it's time to understand how legit you are. Okay, Jason,

686
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm listening the Laker. Justin Frossberg is the best NFL

687
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: radio game day producer in the world. I have him

688
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: rated number one. He's the Jim Harbaugh of Radio Phil.

689
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 3: It's a big rankings week, so why not it is

690
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 3: a week, sure, sure a week and rankings week.

691
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot going on on the heels

692
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: of getting Luka doncig for Anthony Davis. Lucas said in

693
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: conversation with Rob Polenka, Hey, really, you know what do

694
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: you think of the roster, and he said, you know,

695
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: I really would love and his game works well with

696
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: a lob type center, someone who's athletic that can go

697
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: up and down the floor, you know, kind of echoing

698
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis who said, but we need a center. Boy.

699
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: AD's like, oh, man, come on, you didn't need to

700
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: trade me. If I could be there and move to

701
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: the flour and Mark Williams could be the center, it'd

702
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: be great. But it's AD's got a future as a PM.

703
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: It's Anthony Davis's last gift to the Lakers. Here. I

704
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: got you that center that was gonna be so great

705
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: for you. But the Lakers pull off a trade Dalton

706
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: connect Cam Reddish in a couple of picks in exchange

707
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: for Mark Williams from the Hornets. And this is where

708
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: Rob Polenka like, we make fun of Rob Polenka because

709
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: you know how he's dressed and the Rob Low stuff

710
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: and all this everything, But this is a guy that

711
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: really should get his flowers because this is the third

712
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:19,280
Speaker 1: time in the last fourish years where he's been dealt

713
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: an impossible hand. An impossible hand because the Lakers don't

714
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: have a lot of draft picks, which are valuable in

715
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: trades only. Right, everybody overvalues first round picks as we

716
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: can get to in the NBA, they're trade now. They

717
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 1: are things you add to trades, right, And they didn't

718
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 1: have a lot, and so how are they going to

719
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: make these trades? Right? But this is the third time

720
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: because you go back to the Anthony Davis trade where

721
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 1: the Pelicans are like, we know he wants to go there,

722
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: and we are going to get every drop of blood

723
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: from you that we can. And still Rob Polinka made

724
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: that trade and the Lakers won the title. Now in

725
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: the last week twice, how are you going to improve

726
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 1: the team? There's no you don't have any money to spend.

727
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: It's going to be impossible. Ron is not taking less.

728
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: What are you going to do? You can't add to

729
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: this team. You're stuck, right, that's what we throw. The

730
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: Lakers are stuck. The Lakers are stuck. And then he

731
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: pulls off an impossible deal, getting Luka Doncic in exchange

732
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: for Anthony Davis. WHOA that would have been enough. But

733
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 1: here using the one pick the Lakers have left because

734
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they have another draft pick now until

735
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: twenty forty to make this Mark Williams trade happen and

736
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: bring in a young athletic center who in his third year.

737
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 1: Albeit he dad's had some injury issues the first couple

738
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: of years, but he's twenty three years old. He is

739
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: a legit sixteen to ten guy. You're not getting anything

740
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: better than him, and it's exactly what Luca wants and

741
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: these guys can grow together, right, Luca's twenty five, twenty six,

742
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: Mark Williams is twenty three. Suddenly the Lakers have set

743
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: themselves up for now, for the future and Rob Polinka

744
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 1: in a situation in which it's im you would say,

745
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: it's impot My hands are tied. What do you want

746
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: me to do? Right? What do you really want me

747
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: to do? The only thing I think you do differently

748
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: go back in time is tell Ad and Lebron. Yeah no,

749
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: not gonna trade for Russell Westbrook. But outside of that,

750
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: these three incredibly large moves when the deck is stacked

751
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: so much against him, and still he comes out and

752
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: makes a big trade for it. Man, I'll tell you

753
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: you got to give Polinka his flowers after this. It

754
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: has been It has been an incredible week for him,

755
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: an incredible week for the Lakers. Who go from we're

756
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: spinning our wheels on Saturday night. But you know, tip

757
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: off of the nixt game, it was we're spinning our wheels.

758
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: Ad is hurt. What are we gonna do? We're just

759
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna get to the playoffs. We're gonna be old. And

760
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:33,760
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we went around, maybe not. And in four

761
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: days they go from spinning their wheels to being a

762
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: team that's gonna contend for the title as soon as

763
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: this year. You have a lot of time for Luca

764
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: and Williams to get involved in the offense. And look,

765
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: it never really takes anybody very long. With Lebron James.

766
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: You understand the kind of game he wants to play,

767
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: the kind of game he's gonna play. You know, he'll

768
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: be able to defer to Luca, He'll be able to

769
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: take over when he needs to. He's done that with

770
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: a D. This is gonna be a Laker team that

771
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 1: hits the ground running right away. And if I thought

772
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: yesterday I told you last night, wouldn't surprise me the

773
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: Lakers starts scoring one hundred and thirty a game. Maybe

774
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: I was a little lower that Mike. Maybe it's gonna

775
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: bebout one thirty five one forty a game now with

776
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: the athletic center running up and down the floor, which

777
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: is exactly what the Lakers need. I just feel bad

778
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: for Ad that, you know, hey, he had the idea

779
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: and they did it. Maybybe they'll give him a ring,

780
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: maybe the Lakers when they give Ada ring because it

781
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: was his idea to go get the center. Well, he

782
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: was part of the squad for a while, so I

783
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 1: mean they can fight about that and then fight up

784
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: with shares and whatever else.

785
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: But Dan Woiki, our buddy La Times chimes in the

786
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 3: Lakers are confident that the back issues are healed quote

787
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 3: and that they're getting one of the game's top young

788
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,959
Speaker 3: centers who fit the doncic archetype, like you block a game,

789
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 3: plays above the rim, seven feet tall.

790
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: All I mean he can't teach. Hey, we always talked

791
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: about that.

792
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 3: You already got a guy in Jackson Hayes who we've

793
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 3: seen in snippets. You know, when he get out and

794
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: the break he can get after it as well. Would

795
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 3: still love a shooter, so I'd love to see what

796
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: else another rabbit.

797
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: He can pull out of his hat. I don't know.

798
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: One time you got a shooter. Yeah, I think Luca

00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: can shoot pretty well. I don't know. I'm just I'm

800
