1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. 3 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: Charles Barkley, former sixer, didn't mince words. He was on 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 2: the Stephen A. Smith Show on Friday. 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 3: Initial reaction upon here in the news that Lebron James 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 3: is going to Philly, Ah shocked because I want him 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 3: to go back to Cleveland. 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 4: I mean, he has no affiliation with the seventy six ers, 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 4: but the. 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 3: Number one knock on Lebron, Yo, man, you always stacked 11 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 3: in your team. 12 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 4: He's stacked it in Miami, He's stacked it. 13 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 3: In Cleveland, He's stacked it in La Now he's stacking 14 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 3: it in Philly. 15 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 4: He's always stacked his team. 16 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: I have no problem with what Lebron James did. None. 17 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: At this stage in your career, you can do whatever 18 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: you want. You want to go back home, just to 19 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: go back home now you do have a great chance 20 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: of winning with that lineup. If he wanted to go 21 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: back to Miami, because why not go to Miami. You 22 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 2: want to go to Philadelphia because you have the best 23 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: chance to win. You've earned that right chasing rings. If 24 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: Jannis didn't want to go to Miami, he would have 25 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 2: told the Bucks, I don't want to go to Miami. 26 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: Why did he go to Miami? He probably thought he 27 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: had a better chance of winning there. If the Knicks 28 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: didn't win the title this year, I think Giannis would 29 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: be a New York Knick and Karl Anthony Towns wouldn't 30 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 2: be there, or Lebron might be a New York Knick. 31 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: But I don't know. If you go, I have a 32 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: chance to decide where I want to go, let me 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 2: go to a worst situation. Who does that? You know 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about going to the Nets. If he had 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: gone to the Nets, well, he's just gonna pad his stats. 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan went to the Wizards. Why because he wanted 37 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: to have part ownership of an NBA team. Is anybody 38 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: critical of Mike because he went to the Wizards. It 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: wasn't for basketball reasons. It was for business reasons, and 40 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: the business of winning another title is what Lebron is 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: all about. I have no problem with it. If he 42 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: had gone to Golden State, we would have said, oh, okay, 43 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: Durant had to go there to win titles, You're gonna go. 44 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: It didn't matter if he had gone to Cleveland. I 45 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: think people would have been okay with it. Philly hadn't 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: been to Philly. They haven't won a title in over 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 2: three decades, haven't been to the finals since what two 48 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: thousand and two thousand and one. I don't have a 49 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: problem with it chasing rings. We chastise him because he 50 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: doesn't have the rings that Mike has or Kobe has, 51 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: and now he wants to go get one more. He 52 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: took the minimum. There are quarterbacks in college making more 53 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: money than Lebron James' salary with the Sixers, I'm okay 54 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: with that. You sacrificed. And yes, he's going to align 55 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: up up and it'll be similar to when he went 56 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: with Miami. It'll take a little while for them to 57 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: kind of feel each other out, understand what you do, 58 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: how you do it. When you do it, I can 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: take over, you take over. But I'm not worried about 60 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: touches with Lebron. He already proved that with Luca in 61 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: Austin Reeves. I can figure this out. We marvel at 62 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 2: his basketball IQ. Let's give him credit for that basketball IQ. 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: He wants to win and also knows he's forty one. 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: He also knows that he's got Tyrese Maxey, who was 65 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: wonderful and now you bring in Jaylen Brown. This doesn't 66 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: happen without an assist from the Celtics. Still mind boggling. 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: You trade one of the better players in the NBA 68 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: in your division. And I think July sixth, when Jalen 69 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: Brown was traded to the seventy six ers is when 70 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: Lebron changed his mind. He wasn't going to Philly in 71 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: my opinion, here is his agent, Rich Paul. 72 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: When did it start the scale start tipping toward Philly 73 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: like fifty five percent? 74 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: You know, when it was like, you know what, I'm 75 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: leaning toward Philly or now it's more and more and more. 76 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: I think I think that. 77 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 5: I mean the eyeball came after obviously the Detroit like 78 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 5: the Brown. 79 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, to even be really really considered Max Kellerman on 80 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: there on the podcast, Yes July sixth. July sixth is 81 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: when all of this started to formulate. I think because 82 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: Lebron went okay, embiid, I can't prop him up, MAXI 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: and Edgecomb they're really good. This team isn't better than 84 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: Miami's going to be, or Cleveland's going to be, or 85 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 2: Golden State's going to be. Now I get Jalen Brown. 86 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: Top five top ten player. I got something here, I 87 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: got it. I got a chance to win at least 88 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: one more title. The basketball world would explode if he 89 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: got to six titles. But it just feels like Lebron's 90 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: doing it. Therefore there has to be a negative attitude. 91 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: What's the negative part of this? No, he's chasing titles. Okay, 92 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: that's what you play for. If he said, hey, I 93 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: want money, Oh don't you have enough? You made a 94 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: half a billion playing in the NBA salary wise, so 95 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: he's not going to win no matter what. But you 96 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 2: have to accept that. If you're Lebron, you know, it's 97 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: not going to be popular. You know, people are always 98 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: going to have a negative slant on this. Well, Mike 99 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: never did this. Mike came back to get part ownership 100 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: of the Wizards. Great business decision. Lebron's chasing a title. 101 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: I think that's admirable. If you look at he goes 102 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: to Cleveland, he doesn't win. Yeah, but he went back home. 103 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: He went to Miami. Oh you know what, maybe going 104 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: back feels bad about leaving them in the first place. Hey, 105 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: you know, I want to be a great story. Hey, 106 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: when you're old, you go retire in Miami. Philly. Wait 107 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: a minute, he actually cares about winning. Wait a minute, 108 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: how dare him? Oh he knows nothing about Philadelphia. Okay, 109 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: remember the story that came out before he made the decision. 110 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: Lebron and his wife were touring schools in Philadelphia, Remember 111 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: that big story. He was there for a charity, I 112 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: think thing. But I think they were like, hey, he's 113 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: looking at schools. Maybe he looked at those school systems 114 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: and now he's coming back because maybe his daughter can 115 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: go to school in Philadelphia. 116 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: But I loved it. 117 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: Thought it was great. I think it's great for the NBA. 118 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: The NBA was the big winner in my opinion. I 119 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: get Lebron at seven thirty Eastern TV primetime for everybody. 120 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: This is great. Schedule's gonna come out, Nick's sixers, probably 121 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: opening night Christmas, Lebron again, maybe against Golden State, maybe 122 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: against Miami, maybe against the Lakers. 123 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 4: And this is great. 124 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: This is this perfect for the NBA. So I loved it. Now, Okay, 125 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: do I appreciate Lebron more than the average fan or 126 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: media person, Yes? I do. Do I think Mike's the 127 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: best player I ever saw? Yes? But I can think both. 128 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it's okay, to think both. How dare you? 129 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: I know it's okay? Oh yes, Marvin. 130 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 5: When I say I like both Michael Jordan and Lebron James, 131 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 5: people look at me like I'm a nuts like man, 132 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 5: I just like both of him. 133 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: What's wrong with Burger King and McDonald's. It's okay Burger 134 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: Donald burg Odonald, Lebron Jordan. 135 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 4: I like him. 136 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: Yes, it's okay. Best and worst of the weekend. What 137 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 2: you saw that you liked you didn't like? Eight seven 138 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: seven three DP show Operator Tyler's sitting by. He'll take 139 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: your phone calls. It was fun. It was fun just 140 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 2: talking basketball possibilities here and it still went back to 141 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: the Celtics. I know you got a couple of first 142 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: round picks. I know you got a couple of second 143 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: round picks, but it was a salary dump. Like if 144 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: you would have said to the Sixers, how do you 145 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: get out from underneath James Harden Paul George And they 146 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 2: did it, And I truly believe now, once again, I 147 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: don't have any information on this. If Darius Garland was 148 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 2: still on the Cavaliers and not James Harden, that's I 149 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: think Lebron would have gone to Cleveland now it would 150 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 2: have been close because I got Jalen Brown now, so 151 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 2: Lebron can kind of see this. And he doesn't have 152 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: to be the lead singer. He can be the bass player, 153 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: so some nights he can play the tambourine if he 154 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: wants to. He doesn't have to be the lead singer here. 155 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: And I think Cleveland he could have done that. And 156 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: Darius Garland I like, and Donovan Mitchell resigns and you 157 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 2: got bigs up front. I understood that, But having James Harden, 158 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 2: that's a non starter for me. If I'm trying to 159 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 2: win a championship Miami, I don't know what the roster 160 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 2: is going to look like. Pat Riley always does a 161 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: wonderful job in filling out that roster. Philly's ready to 162 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 2: win now. And I got the odds. These are the 163 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: updated odds from DraftKings, just got them this morning. Spurs 164 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 2: and Thunder still the big favorites to win the title 165 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: next year. Sixers in the Knicks are tied at plus 166 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,119 Speaker 2: nine hundred, Spurs, Thunder plus two seventy, then the Celtics 167 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: plus thirteen hundred. But it was fun, you know, big surprise, 168 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,079 Speaker 2: even when Pauli said it I was like, man, the 169 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 2: way he's saying it, I'm going to be surprised. And 170 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: then I thought, is it golden state? Because I never 171 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: had golden State in the picture. I know there were 172 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: people host who had that last week and they're like, 173 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: I'm hearing, I'm hearing. There was no information. So whoever 174 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 2: you were hearing it from, you weren't hearing it from 175 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: the people who were going to make the decision. And 176 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 2: Lebron kept it in his head or i'm sure his house, 177 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: but he's not letting it out. But I think July 178 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: sixth is when Lebron went, wait a minute, let me 179 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: look at that lineup. I wouldn't be surprised if Lebron 180 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: didn't have a whiteboard with all the lineups, starting lineup, roster, 181 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: how much money like a GM would and said that 182 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: gives me the best chance. Now it looks like he'll 183 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 2: play one, and he had that other option, so he 184 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: might look at this as a two year window. If 185 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: he wins the time this year, let's just do that 186 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: bigger picture. Now he's got five, there is no way 187 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 2: he's retiring without one more shot to get six. We'll 188 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: come up with the pole question. Yeah, Paulie. 189 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 6: Going back to that trade with Jalen Brown from the 190 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 6: Celtics to the Sixers. Those draft picks that the Celtics 191 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 6: are getting, It's a twenty twenty eight first round pick, 192 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 6: so it doesn't help them for two more years. And 193 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 6: you would think that the Sixers are going to be 194 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 6: really good, so that pick might be the twenty sixth 195 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 6: pick of the draft. 196 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: I mean, even if you don't like Jalen Brown, or 197 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: you didn't like him in the locker room, or Jason Tatum, 198 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: or send him to Sacramento, send him to Phoenix, send 199 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: him somewhere. The only way he can hurt me is 200 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: in the finals. But a salary dump. I understand it. 201 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: We said it at the time. You're gonna have two guys. 202 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: You're gonna be really top heavy. But they are good. 203 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: They can get you to the Eastern Finals, they can 204 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: get you to the the NBA Finals, they can help 205 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: you win a title. But still mind boggling out of 206 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 2: all of this, you trade him to the Sixers. Well, 207 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 2: you now get to see Jalen Brown and you get 208 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: to see Lebron James because you sent Jayleen Brown to 209 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: the seventy six Ers. Brad Stevens does a wonderful job. 210 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 2: I just maybe I'm not smart enough to understand how 211 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 2: brilliant this move was. 212 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 7: Yes, Ton, is there even a small part where Lebron's like, 213 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 7: been there, done that, winning in Miami and Cleveland, or 214 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 7: it's strictly like you just gope he would have gone 215 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 7: back if he thought Cleveland Miami had a little bit 216 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 7: better a chance than Philly. 217 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: I think he wanted to go where he could win. 218 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: That's what this came down to, plain and simple. Family. 219 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: His wife and daughter stay in La. He comes out 220 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: here for business. Broni's still going to be with the Lakers. 221 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: This is a business trip. He's on a business trip 222 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: this entire season. His business is to win another championship. 223 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: I have no problem rings. If anything, he could have 224 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: kept it really easy, simple and retired in a nice 225 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: polite way, and everybody would have given him a round 226 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 2: of applause and say thanks, it was great seeing you. 227 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: You're know, Michael Jordan, he chose. He chose to go 228 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: to a place he hadn't been, and he knows the 229 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: expectations are through the roof, so he had attacked that. 230 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: I loved it. I think it's great and it's great 231 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: for the NBA and great for you. I can't wait 232 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: for this opening night they play the NIXT, they beat 233 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: the nixt seventy wins, question mark or if they lose. Yeah, 234 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 2: I knew this was going to be a failure. I 235 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: knew it can't sharing the ball and let me see 236 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: how you're playing in April and May and June, because 237 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: it's going to be rough at times, it'll be ugly 238 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: at time times. But if they get magic like they 239 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: did late in the season when Embiid started to play 240 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: really well and MAXI and all of a sudden, you go, 241 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: Philadelphia is gonna beat the Celtics, and now you get 242 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: Lebron and you get a good Lebron with those kind 243 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: of glimpses, those hints of being great again. I wouldn't 244 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: be surprised if he's top five and assists this year 245 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: because he'll want to. He led the NBA and assists before. 246 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: If he wants to do it, he can still do it. Yes, Marvin, I. 247 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 5: Think the underrated part is I think he's gonna help 248 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 5: on the boards. I think he's gonna average eight or 249 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 5: nine rebounds, where I think that's such an underrated part 250 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 5: where It's like, man, he's gonna help on the glass. 251 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 5: I think he's gonna play the five, play some small ball. Okay, 252 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 5: I'm excited. All right, Well we were kind of on 253 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 5: a roll there and you gave me rebounds here. I mean, 254 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 5: what is this, Angel Reese? So watch it happens if 255 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 5: they lose a game, Oh man, if they have somebody 256 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 5: on the glass, it always comes down to something small. 257 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 2: Okay, has Angel re scored yet in the All Star Nice? 258 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: Be nice? 259 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 5: Be nice. 260 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: She was the wrong person to be in that kind 261 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 2: of All Star game where they're athletically talented on the 262 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball. 263 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, all Star games in all sports but basketball. 264 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 6: They're not conducive to power forwards like LaMarcus Aldridge isn't 265 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 6: running the show at an All Star game, and he 266 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 6: was a good player, doesn't get the ball enough. 267 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan 268 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 269 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP. 270 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 8: Hey, We're Cavino and Rich Fox Sports Radio every day 271 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 8: five to seven pm Eastern.

He's gonna live 340 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 3: in New York and helicopter back back there for practicing game. 341 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: So the city's kind of pissed right now. I was, like, 342 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 3: I told y'all, he didn't have no affiliation with Philly. 343 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: That's why I was shocked he came here. 344 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was. You know, it was so funny. 345 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 3: I was playing golf yesterday early and my phone starts 346 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 3: going crazy. 347 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 4: They're like, he believed this. I'm like, what, y'all just 348 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 4: got Lebron be happy. He's not even gonna live here. 349 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 3: He's got to live in New York and take a 350 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 3: help helicopter in for practicing games. 351 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 4: Like, I just started laughing because you can't make this 352 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 4: stuff up. 353 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 2: Why didn't you let him stay at your place? 354 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 3: It's a condo, Dan, You know, I'm a firm belief 355 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 3: in the Hermet was rude. One house, one car. You 356 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: don't need more than one house, doesn't waste of money. 357 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 3: Don't waste your money on jewelry. I drive a Kia 358 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: and an Explorer. That's all you need. Brother, don't waste 359 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: your money on cars, your young dummies. 360 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: You were on with Steven A. Smith. That's why I 361 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 2: thought you had a problem that Lebron's always stacking his teams. 362 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's been one of my credits. Well, most people 363 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 3: criticize him for that. He always stacks his team. 364 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 2: But what's wrong with wanting to build a team that 365 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: can win a championship? We're going to. 366 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 4: Well, let's see, there you go. He didn't build a team. 367 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 2: He manu build a team in Los Angeles. They were 368 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 2: bad before he got there. 369 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 3: And he and his Agentcy forced them to trade for 370 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: Anthony Davis, who was ran by his group. 371 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: Okay, but he didn't he didn't go to a team 372 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: that was Oh no, no. 373 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 4: He did. He's listen, Anthony Davis. 374 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 3: Everybody in the league would have wanted Anthony Davis plus 375 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 3: specifically said he has to go to the Lakers. 376 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 4: That that's that's that's a fact, Dan. 377 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: But you still have to pull off the train to 378 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: get him. They didn't say, oh, here you go. 379 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 4: He would. He said he would only go to the Lakers. 380 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 3: He said he would like everybody wanted Anthony Davis, but 381 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 3: he's a clutch. 382 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 4: Said no, he could only go to the Lakers. 383 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 3: So it is what it is. It's a fair criticism. Yeah, 384 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: everybody wanted Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis specifically saying it because 385 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: of clutch, I will only go to the Lakers. So 386 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: you think that's naturally organic, No, that is stacking your team. 387 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: But that's Lebron's power. Okay, and it reterms that credit 388 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 2: that we want to play with him. 389 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 4: And we can't criticize it that we think it's unfair. 390 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 2: What's unfair about wanting to go better your life? 391 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 3: Like he no, no, no, no, no, you should You're not. 392 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 3: You shouldn't be guaranteed the championship. One of the reasons 393 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: Michael Jorde is to go. He got beat in the head. 394 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: He kept going, oh, you know what, I'm gonna get bigger, stronger. 395 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: That to me is the way I would like to 396 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 3: see it done. That's why my dirt nubisky. 397 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 2: Uh. 398 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 3: He's like, you know what, I'm not going anywhere. We 399 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 3: just gonna keep getting better. That's why Steph Courvey same thing. 400 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 3: They never He's like, you know what, we got a team. 401 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 3: They were not in the good in the beginning. Then 402 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 3: Clay got good, Draymond got good, igodala everybody. 403 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 4: So listen, we can disagree. I'm not mad at Lebron. 404 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: But I can you know, I'm not gonna do the 405 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: Stepford wife thing like all Lebron and his friends do, 406 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 3: like these guys on television now, Like, I don't want 407 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 3: to upset Lebron because I wanted him to talk to 408 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 3: me and I wanted him to do it interviews, Like 409 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 3: if you don't like that's then you know Lebron's a 410 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 3: great dude too. But the people around him and now 411 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 3: guys on television, they're like Stefford wives. It's like you 412 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 3: have to say Lebron's the greatest ever, or like he 413 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 3: not gonna talk to you, and you you're commit treason. Fake, 414 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 3: Like I said, Lebron is the third best basketball greatest 415 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: basketball player I've ever seen. But when you're around them 416 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 3: Stepford wise that around Lebron and people on television are 417 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 3: like that. They want to be friends with him. Like 418 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 3: I think me and me and Lebron, I think we're cool. 419 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: But I don't have to say he's the greatest basketball 420 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: player ever. 421 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 4: I don't. I mean, I don't think I'm committing treason. 422 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: I just did not. I don't have a problem if 423 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 2: he wanted to go to Philly. I think it's a 424 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: big risk, but it's his best chance to win a championship. 425 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 4: I don't agree with that. 426 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 3: I stuid think if he went to Cals, they would 427 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 3: have had the best team in the East. 428 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 2: Now they got James Harden. I don't think he wanted 429 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: to play with James Harden. 430 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 4: He's hard not even on the team right now. 431 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: Well, but they're they're they're talking to him about a contract. 432 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. We can disagree. I mean, 433 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: this is all that's we all have an opinion. I 434 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 3: thought of Lebron and went to the Cals, they would 435 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 3: have the best team in the East. That's just my 436 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: personal opinion. 437 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 2: If Darius Garland was there, I would say yes, not 438 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 2: James Harden. 439 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 3: Well, you don't have to play James as much as 440 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 3: Lebron is there. And also think about this, there are 441 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: a lot of questions about this seventy six team. Can 442 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: Lebron and Joel Embii stay healthy, That's a big question. 443 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 3: Lebron hasn't played the full season in five years, Joel embiid. 444 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 4: Ain't never played the full season. Those are fair questions. 445 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 3: And what's scary man one of the dark secrets nobody's 446 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 3: talking about. The Eastern Conference might be better than the 447 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 3: Western Conference right now. The Eastern Conference, Like I say, 448 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 3: can Lebron stay healthy, which he hasn't done in five years? 449 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 3: Can Joel stay healthy which he hasn't done ever? The 450 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 3: Eastern Conference has quietly become the better conference. I'm trying 451 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 3: to think there's no team in the East that's bad. 452 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 3: There's not one single team in the East. You can 453 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 3: say it's bad. I mean, and can Joel and Lebron 454 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 3: stay healthy? Man telling you Dan, people aren't even talking 455 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: about because they look at OKC and the Spurs rightfully, 456 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 3: so they're head and shoulders. But the Knicks, Boston, Atlanta, Indiana, Orlando, 457 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 3: the Wizards man the East. 458 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 4: The only bad team is probably the Brooklyn Nets. 459 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: They are better. 460 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: Oh, let me tell you something. 461 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 3: I think the chicag I said this, I think the 462 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls got the best rookie in the NBA. When 463 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: I was talking to coaches and general managers, which I 464 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 3: do and I always keep our conversations private because it's 465 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 3: a private conversation, they're like, who's you take the number 466 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 3: one pick? 467 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 4: Said Caleb Wilson. They're like, what do you mean? 468 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 3: I says, Hey, I like the Boston I like Peterson, 469 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: but the one guy who I think and like I said, 470 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 3: we're all kind of thinking about the future. There's no 471 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 3: player I would have taken before Caleb Wilson, not one 472 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 3: because the way his athletic ability. Now, like Peterson and Demonster, 473 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 3: they're probably better scores at this stage, but he can 474 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 3: learn how to shoot. And let me tell you something 475 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 3: from an athletic point where you can goud one, two, 476 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 3: three four. Ain't nobody more talented the Caleb Wilson period. 477 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: Talking to Charles Barkley, Hall of Famer, I'm still trying 478 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: to understand what the Celtics did and are doing. Are 479 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 2: the Celtics better now than they were a month ago? 480 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 4: Damn? 481 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 3: Let me tell you, men, you can go out and 482 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 3: get drunk all night long and we can wake up 483 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 3: the next day, and that still won't make no damn 484 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 3: sense to me. Whatever, And listen, what's okay? You don't 485 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: like Jalen Brown. I get that they clearly didn't, But 486 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 3: I'm not trading him to a team I got to 487 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 3: play five times a year and got the beat. 488 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 4: In the playoffs. 489 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 3: The Cubsters are not better, and I don't understand, Like 490 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 3: I say, Okay, you want to trade a player, I 491 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 3: have no problem with that. And Jalen's a hell of 492 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 3: a player. I'm not trading into my division. I'm trading 493 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 3: him out West more than anything. So I have no 494 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 3: idea what the Celtics are doing. And then you hear 495 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 3: people talk about the money Paul Gehn's making a lot 496 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 3: of money, so you can't say they didn't because they 497 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 3: about that. I heard I hear guys talking about, well 498 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 3: they didn't want to pay Jalen Brown. 499 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 4: I'm like, Paul Georg's making fifty million dollars. 500 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: A year, but only for one more year, two more too. 501 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 2: There's an option, but well, he go, damn, she'll take 502 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 2: the option. Well, Jayleen, Jalen is you know you're locked 503 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,239 Speaker 2: in for three more years, and Philly is going to 504 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 2: extend him as well. They're not trading for him and 505 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: then letting him go. 506 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 3: Well, so okay, but at that point they didn't know 507 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 3: they were going to get Lebron either. So that trade, 508 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 3: even though Jaylen Brown is a better player, you still 509 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 3: bought back one hundred million dollars for the next couple 510 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 3: of years. I think Jalen makes a little bit more. 511 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 3: But I didn't understand that trade whatsoever. 512 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: Your guy Shack said he thinks Joe el Embiid's gonna 513 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 2: have a great year and he's gonna be the best 514 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: big man in the game. 515 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 4: Well, what somebody gonna kill the joker. 516 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 3: Somebody kill the joker by now, listen, No, I think 517 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 3: the two winners in this trade are Maxie and MBU 518 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 3: in the trade and Lebron because. 519 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 4: They are a better. 520 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 3: Team and Joel he's got to be the fourth best 521 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 3: player because Maxie and Brown are the two best players. 522 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 4: They're the two best players on the team. 523 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: Lebron's the third best player if he's healthy, and he's 524 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 3: the proud of the guy who can play with Doctor Baltimore. 525 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 3: It's gonna be some growing pains with this team because 526 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 3: they are need the ball to be successful. But make 527 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 3: no doubt about it, Brown and Maxie are the two 528 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 3: best players on the team. Joelle just got to get 529 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 3: healthy and he can be the fourth best player on 530 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 3: the team. Now, that's gonna be an adjustment for him 531 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 3: because he's just gonna have to play defense and rebound 532 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 3: and he's gonna have to sacrifice. He probably gonna have 533 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 3: to sacrifice the most cause they're not gonna walk to 534 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 3: with them three thoroughbreads. They're not gonna walk the ball 535 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 3: up and down the court and let him post up. 536 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 3: He's gonna have to concentrate on defense and rebounding, so 537 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: he's gonna have to sacrifice the most. But the number 538 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 3: one thing he's got to do is get healthy, then 539 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 3: he's never played I mean, I'm not even sure I 540 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 3: shouldn't talk like that. I mean, I'm pretty sure he 541 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 3: hasn't played a full season in five or six years. 542 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: So the notion that he's going to be healthy, you're 543 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 3: gonna have to wait and see. And the same thing 544 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 3: with Lebron. But man, it's not gonna be as easy 545 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 3: to just put those four guys out there and think 546 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 3: the Sixers are gonna win the championship. 547 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: Okay, let's match up the Knicks with the Sixers. Who 548 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: do you like? 549 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 4: You know, I think they gonna miss Mitchell Robinson? I do. 550 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna miss Mitchell Robinson. I think that's 551 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 3: a Pickham series. I think that the none of the 552 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 3: Pistons got to figure out what to do. I didn't 553 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 3: even mentioned him when I mentioned him earlier. They got 554 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 3: to figure out the Jalen during situation. But the East 555 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 3: is gonna be fun to watch, man, even though they 556 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 3: got Lebron and Jalen that don't the Sickers are not 557 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 3: gonna have a Cakewalker. It's gonna be a huge adjustment 558 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 3: for those guys because all four of those guys need 559 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 3: the basketball to be successful and the A's guys like 560 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 3: that say, hey, I need you to just play defense 561 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 3: a lot. And like I said, it's gonna be the 562 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 3: hardest for Joel, but he he gonna get the ball 563 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 3: at least out of all those four guys he can. 564 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 3: Does he have the mindset to be like, you know what, 565 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 3: let me just play defense and rebound and some nights 566 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get big A few nights, I'm gonna get 567 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 3: big numbers. 568 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 4: But I just got to play. 569 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 3: Defense and rebound and that ain't not going to be easy. 570 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 3: But the number one question with the Sixers is their health. 571 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 3: Can can them be and Lebron can they be healthy 572 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 3: for eighty two games. 573 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 4: Which right now the heart is probably a hard no. 574 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: And then what position are they gonna be in because 575 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 3: they're gonna have to if those guys are unhealthy, they're 576 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 3: gonna have to win three series on the road against 577 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 3: really good teams because hey, man, Indiana might be the 578 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 3: sleeper in the East next year they get Zoo balls back, 579 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 3: you know so, But it's the East is gonna be 580 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 3: very interesting going forward. 581 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: We missed you in Tahoe. We were out there and you, uh, 582 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: you were really busy apparently. 583 00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 4: Well, that's called winning money. 584 00:30:59,680 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 2: Dan. 585 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 4: I was winning money. 586 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 3: So I was like, when you win money, you have 587 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 3: to you have to check between doubling down on eleven 588 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,239 Speaker 3: or doing interviews, and you get that face card on 589 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 3: that eleven because you always double down on eleven and 590 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 3: you always dumb it down on ten. If a dealer 591 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: don't have a face card, showing lake talk was very 592 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 3: profitable for Chuck this year. 593 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: Dan Well scores on the course. 594 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 4: I beat you.

We've discussed this. 671 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 2: I think that he has performed admirably for the t 672 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,240 Speaker 2: up the Bay Buccaneers. We always attached the salary though 673 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 2: it's okay, is it commensurate to what you're getting paid. 674 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 2: It's a sliding scale. Baker Mayfield at thirty six thirty 675 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 2: five million dollars a year. Okay, had a good year 676 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 2: last year, previous year, had a great year. You got 677 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 2: a division that's getting tougher and not a foregone conclusion 678 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 2: where you just win nine games, you're going to win 679 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 2: this division. Baker Mayfield thinks he's being disrespected, and he 680 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 2: said the quiet part out loud. 681 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 10: Disappointing in that regard to it to not have, you know, 682 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 10: to feel disrespected a little bit, And that's really the 683 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 10: disappointing part, to feel undervalued after you know, thinking you've 684 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 10: earned it. This is not a poor me thing. It's 685 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 10: there's a lot other people that have it way worse off. 686 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 10: But I can sit here and look at other quarterbacks 687 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 10: and peers and evaluate myself based on that and put 688 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 10: myself in certain categories that I deserve to be compensated 689 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 10: for that. And I think I'm a franchise quarter I've 690 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 10: been told I'm a franchise quarterback. It's been said publicly 691 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 10: from ownership down here, and so to not have a 692 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 10: deal done is very disappointing. 693 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know if somebody followed up in the 694 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 2: media and said, Okay, where would you place yourself, because 695 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,839 Speaker 2: I would want to know if I look at some 696 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 2: of these salaries. Jalen Hurts is at fifty one million dollars? 697 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 2: Is he Jalen Hurts? Is he Sam Darnold? Sam Donald's 698 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 2: thirty five million, So he's already in that category. Sam 699 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl? But is he Daniel Jones? He's 700 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 2: making around forty four forty five Deshaun Watson forty four 701 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 2: forty five million, Like where do you place yourself? Would 702 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 2: be my question, just so I would get an understanding. 703 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 2: And I don't know about this business philosophy, this strategy 704 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 2: with Baker Mayfield unless he's gotten to the point where, hey, 705 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 2: this is training camp vitevea once out, like things are 706 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 2: starting to unraveled just a little bit. And I don't 707 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 2: know if saying it publicly, hey, I'm being disrespected if 708 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 2: that helps. Because it's personal for you, it's not personal 709 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 2: for management ownership, Like they can't attach emotion to this. 710 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 2: They have to be very pragmatic in saying, hey, here's 711 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 2: here's where we see you, here's the slot, here's the 712 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,439 Speaker 2: sweet spot, and what's Baker Mayfield going to do? You're 713 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 2: going to have to play out this year. Then you 714 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 2: can go wherever you want to go after that. But 715 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 2: they can franchise tag you and then you might be 716 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 2: there for you know, two years. This year's salary and 717 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 2: then I think franchise tag is around forty eight six 718 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 2: forty seven million for quarterbacks. But if I'm Tampa, are 719 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 2: we rebuilding? Then maybe we don't even know we're rebuilding. 720 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 2: How good are we? Yes, you lost Mike Evans. Still 721 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 2: a good team, but that division is going to be 722 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 2: a lot more challenging, I think. But we'll check in 723 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,320 Speaker 2: Rick Stroud. We haven't had on in a little while. 724 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 2: He's the great reporter in Tampa. He'll join us. Coming 725 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 2: up in a little bit. Poll question for the first 726 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: hour of the program is what Dylan Uh? 727 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 11: We got one from Todd to kick things off? Baker 728 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 11: Mayfield dot dot dot preach on preacher or keep it 729 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 11: in house? 730 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 2: Dude, Well, this is Baker Mayfield. Like that personality is 731 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 2: what you love about make Baker Mayfield. And you know 732 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 2: if you look at the headline, it's not he went, 733 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,400 Speaker 2: didn't go scortched to earth, but you got that feeling 734 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 2: from the headlines like oh oh yeah, disrespected. Okay, I 735 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 2: mean that's the word that jumps out there. But this 736 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 2: is who Baker Mayfield is. He's out in front, He's 737 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 2: going to say what he feels. If he feels disrespected, okay, 738 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 2: then figure out how do you respect it? What is 739 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 2: a respectable number there? That's what I would be curious about. 740 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 2: But we see these other quarterbacks, I mean, Dak Prescott's 741 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 2: never been the best quarterback in the NFL, but he's 742 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 2: the highest paid. I mean, do other quarterbacks feel disrespected 743 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 2: because of that? Kirk Cousins always got a fully guaranteed contract. 744 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 2: He wasn't anywhere near the best quarterback in the NFL. 745 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 2: It's all about timing and it's about leverage. Now, if 746 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield had not last year's season, last season, but 747 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 2: the season before that, now you probably have a little 748 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 2: bit more leverage. Is he a forty five million dollar quarterback? 749 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 2: Maybe in their eyes, probably so? 750 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 3: Is he? 751 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts probably not, Yeah, Dylan, Yeah. 752 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 11: It's kind of funny because I think it was twenty 753 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 11: eighteen Matt Ryan became the first thirty million dollar quarterback, 754 00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 11: and now only eight years later that is like considered 755 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 11: sort of lower end of the barrel money for a quarterback. 756 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, look at receivers when somebody got to twenty 757 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 2: or twenty one and we went, oh my goodness, and 758 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 2: then it was thirty. Now we got defensive players, Megan forty, 759 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 2: it's going to continue to go up. The question is, 760 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 2: and you know we've said this before about Jerry Jones 761 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 2: with Michael Parsons, he could have gotten him at a 762 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 2: cheaper price earlier chose to play the game and then 763 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 2: decided to trade him, but he could have kept him 764 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 2: if he wanted to. It's rare when you say, you 765 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 2: know what, let's see how this plays out, and it, 766 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 2: you know, plays out where you get somebody for less 767 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 2: than what they were negotiating for. So, if I'm Tampa, 768 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 2: I got to decide do I want Baker Mayfield. I 769 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 2: got to decide at what price I want Baker Mayfield 770 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 2: because the following year he's going to be more expensive 771 00:40:56,160 --> 00:41:00,839 Speaker 2: just because of, you know, the quarterback next guy up mentality? 772 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 2: Can you get him for less than fifty million dollars 773 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 2: at the going rate? If I'm Baker Mayfield or his agent, 774 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 2: I'm better than Daniel Jones. You can count on me 775 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 2: over Deshaun Watson. Although we have to kind of take 776 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson out of this because that was desperation by 777 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns the Colts. I still don't understand why 778 00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 2: they did this with Daniel Jones, but you know, that's okay. 779 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 2: It's their money, their quarterback. But I think Baker Mayfield 780 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 2: probably thinks he's a fifty million dollar year quarterback. But 781 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 2: if Jalen Hurts is at fifty one and he's accomplished, 782 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 2: I can't pay him more than that, although that doesn't 783 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 2: mean he's not going to want more than that. Yeah, Paul, it. 784 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 6: Does seem like a prudent move by Tampa if they regress, 785 00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 6: If he regresses, Baker Mayfield, they're not locked into anything. Yeah, well, 786 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 6: they have to pay him fifteen million more on the 787 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 6: next contract, four years, two hundred million. Yeah, but the 788 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,240 Speaker 6: danger is he balls out and it's complete free agent 789 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 6: and Pittsburgh calls or another team calls. 790 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know the philosophy, but that's why 791 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 2: we'll have Reck Stroud on of what is the mentality 792 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 2: of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I also I get a 793 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 2: kick out of, and I understand the hype machine. You 794 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 2: got to report on things or you got to kind 795 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 2: of create things. NFL reporters talking about somebody had a 796 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 2: great day in camp, somebody threw two interceptions, somebody threw 797 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 2: three touchdown passes. I want to take you back to 798 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 2: when Jamar Chase came out. If LSU is a rookie, 799 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 2: do you remember social media talking about all the drops, 800 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,280 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, this guy can't hold onto the football. 801 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 2: He went on to have over fourteen hundred yards and 802 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 2: thirteen touchdowns as a rookie and is widely considered one 803 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,399 Speaker 2: of the top two or three receivers in the game. 804 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,680 Speaker 2: But we got caught up in that he's dropping the ball. 805 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, well he's going to be a bust. 806 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, it's like, uh, never mind. 807 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 2: It's something to say in training camp. Uh, Marvin Harrison 808 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 2: struggling with drops. Okay, Uh, let me see what happens 809 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,239 Speaker 2: when the season starts. It'd be like if somebody says, man, 810 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 2: you know who is bawling out Shadoor Sanders two touchdown passes, 811 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,560 Speaker 2: no interceptions. I mean like, uh, does he have pads on? 812 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 2: They playing? Is he wearing shorts? It's he got foot 813 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 2: flops on? Is the defense able to hit him? 814 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 3: Like? 815 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,319 Speaker 2: Those are things I just go, Okay. I know it 816 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 2: gives us content you're searching for content here, but I 817 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 2: have to laugh when these headlines. You know, Baker Mayfield's 818 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 2: a headline, Vita vea. That's a headline. That's real. Somebody 819 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 2: dropped Uh Like that to me is not like stats 820 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,840 Speaker 2: in training camp there's probably some guys. I mean, I 821 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,760 Speaker 2: counted all my shots that I made in warm ups 822 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 2: when I was in college and be like, man, I'm 823 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,959 Speaker 2: killing it. Yeah, go sit down, Golden boy. Okay, yeah, Pauline. 824 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 6: What if we made like a negative version of it? 825 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 6: Shador Sanders is twelve for till twelve verse during a 826 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 6: scrimmage and then then we say, you know, the Browns 827 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 6: defense does not look good this year. That's the problem. 828 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can spin it any way you want, yes, Marvin. 829 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, my favorite thing was training camp Hall of Famers 830 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,959 Speaker 5: for me. First ballot Kevin Cobb of the Philadelphia Eagles. Boy, 831 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 5: they were like Cobb or Vic. I was like, are 832 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 5: you serious? 833 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 2: Kevin Cobb? Though he got paid, didn't he Then he 834 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:45,480 Speaker 2: suffer a concussion and think bad concussion? What other pole 835 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 2: question do we have for the first down? Favorite cut 836 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 2: of steak? 837 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 4: Then? 838 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 11: Since I have a whole steak day, are you a rabbi? 839 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,879 Speaker 11: A strip of filet or another guy? 840 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 2: Probably a strip. I always think of New York strip. 841 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 2: I always think of a stake. It's New York and 842 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 2: it's usually New York strip, So I would say that, yeah, 843 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,879 Speaker 2: New York strip. Oh, by the way Deebo Samuel backed 844 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 2: with the Niners, and the Niners got a lot of 845 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 2: questions if I start to look at everything that's going on. 846 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:22,439 Speaker 2: So you had a quarterback. They split quarterback games last 847 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,480 Speaker 2: year nine to eight. I think so Perdy and Jones. 848 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,840 Speaker 2: I think Perdy had nine starts and mac Jones had eight. 849 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 2: Mike Evans missed nine games last season, Ricky Pearsaw could 850 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 2: be out for the year, Kittle coming off an injury, 851 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 2: Deebo and Christian McCaffrey consistently banged up. So and you 852 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 2: got a coach who's banged up as well. So the 853 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 2: injuries they just keep mounting for the Niners. But we'll 854 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 2: get to that story about information on this Kyle Shanahan 855 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 2: car accident, because I mean, once again, if you tell 856 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 2: me up front your coach involved in a car accident, 857 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 2: he is non life threatening injuries. We hoped having back 858 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,760 Speaker 2: to start training camp, okay, but all of a sudden, 859 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:14,279 Speaker 2: it's information that's now leaking out. Nothing leaked out for 860 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 2: eleven days. But it just feels like this makes me 861 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 2: question it even more. And then the police aren't going 862 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 2: to give us information TMZ. I think filed a report. 863 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 2: They wanted to. Maybe it's the Freedom of Information Act 864 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 2: they were hoping to get and the police said no. 865 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 2: Paloel to A police said no, we're not releasing any 866 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 2: other information. Why what is it that they don't want 867 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 2: us to see? Now? Is it available for us to 868 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 2: be able to see this or read this? So I 869 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 2: just want to make sure that but TMZ is asking 870 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 2: for this that you know from what I read, paloel 871 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 2: to A police are not giving up any more information, 872 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 2: even dash cam bit like nothing, which makes me wonder 873 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,920 Speaker 2: even more why or why not
