14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: coming your way in a couple of minutes. But first

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: we got Rick Bucher on the way in about twenty minutes,

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: all the latest on Jannis. But now it looks like

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: a trade is gonna happen. There are fourteen into the forefront,

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: the Knicks, the Warriors, the t Woo. What could wind

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: up happening? And I'll tell you this right now, knowing

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: that these are the four teams that maybe the Lakers

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: get involved with. These four teams at the top, I'll

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: tell you who absolutely is going to be the favorite. Yes,

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: you have to look at who can give up what

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: the Bucks would want. And for that you say, Okay,

25
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: I can see the Knicks have what they want because

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: they have the star players, they have the salary to

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: match Karl Anthony Towns clearly, well tonight, hey, twenty five rebounds.

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to get traded. I'll pull down twenty

29
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: five rebounds. But Karl Anthony town who has gotten benched

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: last couple of games and crunch time, the Knicks closing

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: with a different group, he could.

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: Be on the move.

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Somebody else could be on the move. The money could

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: work there for the salary and the players, and the

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: star players could work there.

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: But what also could work.

37
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: Because they have the young talent they could trade away

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and a Jonathan Kaminga. They have the draft picks, they

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: can trade first round picks next couple of years. But

40
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: the Warriors I have as the overwhelming favorite, mainly because yes,

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: they can give them what they want now it would

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: that be what they would want overall? Okay, maybe got

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: to sweeten it a little bit, But the Warriors are

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: the favorites because of those teams that are out there,

45
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: they are absolutely the most desperate. Like the Knicks, Hey,

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: we gotta win. But if they don't get Yannis a

47
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: we gotta move Karl Anthony Towns. We can find something else.

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: We can find somewhere else to move and bring in

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: what we need. We can get better defensively down low.

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I think we can do that right. For the Wolves, yeah,

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: we'd love to go get Yannis, but you know, we

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. Our team is deep wherever. You know,

53
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: we want to bounce back from where we were last year.

54
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: We got to get things right with Anthony Edwards and

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Finch and all that. Okay, and even the Heat, are

56
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks really gonna trade him?

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: You know?

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: To the Heat another preferred destination for a team. So

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: I can see a lot of I don't know, I

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: don't know what the Heat have. They can they can

61
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: they can send back if they have what they would

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: want back in trade. So if you're talking about what

63
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: a team would take, it's the Knicks and the Warriors

64
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: and the team that's the most desperate. Because Steph Curry

65
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: is thirty seven, you can't waste any more of his career.

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: With Jimmy Butler getting hurt, you absolutely have to do something.

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: They'd be the most motivated, they would sweeten until they

68
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: could get him. So I look at it, it's the

69
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: Warriors are the clear favorites I expect to wind up getting.

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: Honest, you look at the Bucks are a five hundred

71
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: team with Giannis on the court this year, and you

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 3: start going through the different iterations and playing the salary,

73
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: matchmaking game, draft picks, all of that fun stuff, and

74
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: as much as he may prefer Miami or New York,

75
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: how much more can they come over the top? Right,

76
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: you want him in conference, You're gonna have to be

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: prepared to pay a little bit more. Right, You're gonna

78
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: need the extra draft pick, that extra first rounder. You're

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: gonna need somebody who's a little more viable as part

80
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: of a rotation as opposed to an expiring contract kind

81
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: of situation, because want to go and bottom out altogether

82
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: necessarily here getting They still have enough talent to where

83
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: they're not going to fall all the way to the

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: bottom of these standings and really increase their lottery balls.

85
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: The Warriors are interesting.

86
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: They're plus seven fifty current odds are the heat or

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: the favorite outside of him being retained by the Bucks

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: at plus three hundred nicks lightly behind at plus three thirty,

89
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: the Warriors at plus seven fifty, and then you have

90
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: the Hawks that there's plenty of opportunity there that they

91
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 3: have again Eastern Conference. But that's also I think the

92
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: Hawks are also a situation whereby you can go, yeah,

93
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 3: one man ain't saving that team, so we won't. We

94
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: can send him there, but you know, getting him out

95
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 3: of the conference. The Warriors and Steph Curry with however

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: long he's got left. And we talked about him a

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: little bit last hour, just from the idea of you

98
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: were able to rebuild it for him once you got

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: another title, before you made your changes again, and now

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: can you get him one last big run? And if

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 3: the principal players are included, including Jonathan Kaminga, see you Yeah, Like,

102
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 3: if that's the name that goes to the forefront, you're

103
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,799
Speaker 3: gonna have to give up Kaminga.

104
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: They'd give him away for a ball. Yeah, okay, yeah,

105
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: we're fine.

106
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: Oh wait, sorry, sorry, Oh, I don't know. That's gonna

107
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: be tough. You can't ask us for a lot more

108
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: than that.

109
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that's a tough one, am I selling this

110
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: right is looking over to an acting coach.

111
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: We really have no problem trading him, Okay, So yeah, yeah,

112
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, man, that's so Hardmar.

113
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 3: You have the trezer in the pocket thing. You start

114
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: getting tears that. We have some great expectations and big

115
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: moments with this kid. We're waiting for him to take

116
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: the next steps. So Warriors, clearly they're the most desperate team.

117
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: We'll see if Rick Buker agrees again, he's coming up

118
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: in about fifteen minutes with us.

119
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: But uh, the last couple of.

120
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: Days, it's felt like a wrestling match between what teams want.

121
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: To show you.

122
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: We are absolutely the worst franchises in the end, and

123
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: it's been a wrestling match with the Jets and the Browns. Right,

124
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: It's like anything you can do, I can do better, Okay,

125
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: But version clearly today we have a winner, all right

126
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: because the Jets Aaron Glenn firing his all his assistants,

127
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: showing you that every decision I made in the beginning

128
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: of the year was wrong. And I'm gonna wait until

129
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: two weeks after a lot of OC's and DC's get

130
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: hired to make this move shows you he really is

131
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: out of his depth, and I know I'm just waiting

132
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: out him to be fired after this year. Okay, they

133
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: called John Gruden. John Gruden said no, John Gruden, who

134
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: wants to get back into coaching so bad, but would

135
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: choose not coaching the Jets over never coaching again. Right,

136
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: you might never coach again, doesn't matter. I'm not coaching

137
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: the Jets bad. The Jets finally hire a defensive cordator today,

138
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: but it's not Wink Martindale. Apparently the process got really

139
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: crazed at the end because Aaron Glenn decided I wanted

140
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: to call plays. Wink Martindale came in for what he

141
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: thought was going to be the dot the T dot,

142
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: the i's crossed the t's. Aaron Glenn said, oh, hey,

143
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: I want to call plays. Wing Martin Dale left, and

144
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: they had to hire somebody that Aaron Glenn worked with

145
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: in Detroit, right like.

146
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: Wink Martin Dale, one of the greatest defensive minds of

147
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: the last twenty years and a hell of a game show.

148
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: I know, right, you bring in, you bring I mean

149
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: Brian duker Hey. I worked with him and he uses

150
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: his assistant in in Detroit.

151
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: This is who you wind up getting, right, so tire fire,

152
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: Oh no.

153
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: No, no no.

154
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: Rit Semini reported that he expects it all resolved within

155
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: twenty four hours.

156
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: No no, no, that's the junior varsity compared to what

157
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: the Browns had go on. They hired Todd Munkin as

158
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: their head coach. Okay, Munkin's name was out there. Oh

159
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: see with the with the with the Ravens. Okay, his

160
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: name was out there, but boy, we thought it was

161
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: going to be Jim Schwartz. Here's how crazy it went

162
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: for the Browns, who, according to sources, ask people to

163
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: write essays and take personality tests like the like they're

164
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: like they're applying to college. Hey we want your essay

165
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: on why you think you'd be the best brain head coach.

166
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Oh okay, just staple it to your application, send it

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: in to be fun. So now essays and personality tests,

168
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: this is what the Browns are doing. Mounkin gets the gig.

169
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: Jim Schwartz, defensive coordinator, was so upset because he thought

170
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: he was getting the job, and it turns out he didn't.

171
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: He was He's been acting like I'm gonna be the

172
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: next head coach. The players love him, that the defense

173
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: loves him, Miles Garrett, now who knows if he's gonna stay.

174
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: Not only is Jim Schwartz upset that he didn't get

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the gig, felt that he got torpedoed because it went

176
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: against the hiring of Monkin went against what the organization

177
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: supposedly was going towards, like everybody in the organization was

178
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: moving towards hiring him, and Jimmy haslm decided no, I

179
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: want to go with Todd Munkin. So now he doesn't

180
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: know that he could stay and is probably gonna wind

181
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: up leaving. This is the Browns. This is the Browns.

182
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: They can't even hire a head coach on a day

183
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: that should be a day of celebration. Now maybe there's

184
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: no honeymoon period because it is the Browns, but on

185
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: a day where you hire a coach, at least you

186
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: get one day where fans are saying, hey.

187
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: We got the right guy. We're excited about the future tomorrow.

188
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: There could be plenty of all look at all this

189
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: crazy ass stuff that happened. Man, that's stupid, but at

190
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: least you get what no, no, no, Because as soon

191
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: as Monkin gets the job.

192
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: It's Jim Schwartz is mad. He felt he was misled.

193
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Schultz had this earlier today NFL Insider, and now

194
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't know that he could stay. He's probably gonna leave.

195
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: Maybe Miles Garrett wants out the Browns. There's no debate.

196
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: As bad as things are for the Jets. And oh,

197
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: by the way, throw on top of this the fact

198
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: that nobody wanted the job, that three people they interviewed

199
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: for the job said, yeah, I'm pulling myself out of consideration.

200
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: I'd rather interview with the Raiders. I'd rather be an

201
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I'd rather potentially take a gig somewhere else.

202
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: This is what happened with the Browns. As bad as

203
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: it is for the Jets, as bad as the Raiders are,

204
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: who I think are gonna have that not have a

205
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: head coach by the time we actually they make him

206
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: pick in the first round of the draft, they will

207
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: draft for nown of Mendoza without a coach. As bad

208
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: as those teams are, the Browns have shown you no, no, no,

209
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: you want that title of worst franchise, We got it.

210
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: We got there there, Lebron putting the crown on going yeah, Crown, Crown,

211
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: Crown me. There is no team that is a bigger

212
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: tire fire than the Cleveland Browns.

213
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: Well, you also have the question of whether Miles Garrett

214
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: is now uh how happy he is in the latest

215
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: as the world turns for Cleveland. Monkin comes back. He

216
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: was the presumed oc with Harbaugh with the New York

217
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: Football Giants. Uh, he comes back to the Browns. He

218
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: was a coach there with Baker Mayfield a few years ago.

219
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: So everything old is new again because he'd been in

220
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: the building before. Did they just use his old psychological

221
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 3: survey and answers or did he have to.

222
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: Do it again? What do you think?

223
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 3: Uh no, we already have that on file. We'll get

224
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: you to bypass the process. What'll be interesting is with

225
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: Schwartz obviously still under contract, but a guy that will

226
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: be sought after. And it was funny I heard the

227
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: posing the potential of Hey, the Chargers needed I don't

228
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: know Jim Rball would get along in the same facility,

229
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 3: but it'd be fun.

230
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel could try to solve any wrestling matches there.

231
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 3: But as we look at what the Browns and the

232
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: Jets and some of these squads and we still have

233
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: multiple I mean, Arizona's job is open and nobody cares.

234
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: We talked about that.

235
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: At the end of last week there were ten and

236
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: there's still several out there. Buffalo whatever happens and how

237
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: they refill and reboot and and all. I mean, Brady

238
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: becomes the guy. But that became an active last resort,

239
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: it seemed, looking around and going, yeah, we probably screwed

240
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: this up, but okay, fine, But for the Browns to

241
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: go back to Monkin, Yeah, they tried to just Outjet

242
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: the Jets in this process.

243
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, really it was a bit of big battle

244
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: between the Raiders, Jets, and Browns lug because the Lions

245
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: were there, but the Lions and we aren't separating ourselves here.

246
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Maybe now we're not the super Bowl team we were,

247
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: but now we're separating ourselves. So it's been a big

248
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: wrestling match with the Jets and the Browns and the

249
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Raiders and Jets and the Browns, Raiders, Jets, Like who's

250
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: gonna win? This is like this is like one of

251
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: those No, it was like the end of like Rocky four.

252
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: They're just throwing punches at each other and who's gonna

253
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: be standing at the end. None of the Browns have

254
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: shown Yeah, we can't even announce a head coach without

255
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: showing you how bad it was behind the scenes, and

256
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: how now the DC is gonna have to leave and

257
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: we're making people take tests and no one even wanted

258
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: to interview. No, no, no, the Jets. The Jets look

259
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: like the Steelers compared to the Browns. Oh, but I

260
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: mean go back to what was the Yudinsky the OC

261
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. He's thirty years old. He has a big

262
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: run with Trevor Lawrence. They want to bring him up

263
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: and talk. Nah, I'm good. I'm not coming back for

264
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: a second round. Mike McDaniel, Yah. I think I would

265
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: rather go back to Los Angeles. I spend a lot

266
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: of time there in the off season. It'll be good

267
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: to coach in LA, do work with Justin Herbert. I'm

268
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: in line with what Jim Harbaugh wants to do.

269
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: So I'd rather be a coordinator like a couple of

270
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: those circumstances, you know, at least in Arizona, and.

271
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: I guess for the Raiders.

272
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: We haven't been throwing out a bunch of names, right,

273
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: You're not photo shopping a bunch of coaches into those roles,

274
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: whereas with the Jets, it was all right, what's next, Okay,

275
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: hold my beer, wait twenty four more hours, we get

276
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: another guy to tell us to beat it. Like the

277
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 3: Wake Martindale thing is just amazing as a little side

278
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 3: show to this Cleveland Browns thing. But I guess the

279
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: national nightmar is that he gets to go coach a

280
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 3: Pro bowler. So I mean he's got that for him

281
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: about that, because that's on Stefanski's resume down in Atlanta.

282
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, no, that is true that my final year

283
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: as Brown's coach, I did coach a Pro Bowl quarterback

284
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: in my final year, just to let you.

285
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: Know, seven touchdowns, ten picks, that gets you to the

286
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl.

287
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,360

340
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: go down? Joining us now in the hotline, nobody better

341
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: than Fox Sports won Insider extraordinaire. He's on Twitter at

342
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: Rick Buker, and I think we have Rick Buker to

343
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: thank for this trade because he was the one at

344
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks game last week who kept booing Yannis making

345
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: Yannis did him the thumbs down, and that might have

346
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: started this in time. At that boy, Rick, I didn't

347
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: know that. I'm sorry if I you didn't want that

348
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: to get out, but I thought I had to tell

349
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: that story.

350
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 6: No, it's okay.

351
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 7: I mean I'm taking one for the team.

352
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 6: I you know, I wanted to find somehow, some way

353
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 6: that the Knicks could wind up with him. So I

354
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 6: knew that. I knew that Jason had his heart set

355
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 6: on that.

356
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 7: So sometimes you just got to go the.

357
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 6: Extra mile and and so there you have it, because

358
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 6: let's face this, I mean, he is going to be

359
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 6: in New York. Nick, it's a matter of when not

360
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 6: if right.

361
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: Really, we're all in agreement, honestly, Now, are you doing.

362
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: This to put it out there?

363
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 2: Are you're doing this to troll me?

364
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: Because I said earlier I expect the Warriors to get him.

365
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Obviously we're talking about what the what teams have that

366
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: the that the Bucks would want. But the Warriors are

367
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: clearly going to wind up being the most desperate team

368
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: to get John. It's even more desperate than the Knicks

369
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: to go get him.

370
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 6: There there is desperation and then there's the ability to

371
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 6: the ability to quench that desperation, and the Warriors have one,

372
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 6: but they don't have the other.

373
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 7: Somebody pointed it out up recently. They're like Buddy.

374
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 6: Healed and Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler. I think it

375
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 6: was those three. Are that's eighty five million dollars worth

376
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 6: of contracts? Oh no, No, it was Jonathan Kaminga, Jimmy Butler

377
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 6: and Buddy Heel eighty five million dollars worth of contracts,

378
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 6: as if that is something.

379
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 7: That they can utilize to go get somebody.

380
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 6: It's eighty five million dollars worth of contracts, It's not

381
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 6: eighty five million dollars worth of talent right now.

382
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: So the one of the Kicks giving up, like you

383
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: really think it's it's the Knicks, like Karl Anthony Towns

384
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: and what because I know it's got to start with

385
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns.

386
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 6: I mean, the beauty of the Knicks is one they're

387
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 6: desperate because their owner thinks that this is the year

388
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 6: that they should go for it. So I think anybody,

389
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 6: everybody and anybody outside of the deal and Brumson is

390
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 6: on the table, Michael Bridges, ogn Andobi, uh, Karl Anthony

391
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 6: Towns and uh, and I haven't looked at what their

392
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 6: what their big situation is, but I would imagine, I

393
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 6: would imagine that unlike the Golden State Warriors, the Knicks

394
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 6: can make a very attractive offer for for janis now

395
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 6: where I I am uncertain is if you give up

396
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 6: too many of those pieces, are you still going to

397
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 6: be a tie? Are you going to be better than

398
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 6: you are?

399
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 7: And that's that's the.

400
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 6: Real question that I have at this point, especially when

401
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 6: it comes to Yannis being injured at at the moment.

402
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 6: And that's this is why I would fully expect that

403
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 6: this deal actually happens in the summer, because the one

404
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 6: thing that Milwaukee has to do. Uh, they're they're looking

405
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 6: down the Nico Harrison barrel of if we're trading Janni

406
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 6: Santa de Campo, we have to get a rebuilding starter kit,

407
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 6: and it's got to be it's got to be a

408
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 6: lot richer than just a Karl Anthony Towns and a

409
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 6: pick or too. It has to be something more than that.

410
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's been the curiosity, trying to run it through

411
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 3: all the different iterations Rick of who can give what?

412
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 3: But that that last point, I think that being the

413
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: most salient of all, right, does this bottom us out

414
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: to where everybody's got to be blown out altogether with it?

415
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 3: And Yannis the greatest self diagnosis of how long he

416
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 3: was going to be out.

417
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't know that I've ever seen a player step

418
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: to a mic like that.

419
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, here's the thing. This is the crux of

420
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 7: it where Milwaukee is, which is.

421
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 6: John Horst and the Milwaukee Bucks do not want to

422
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 6: be the first to say we are trading Yannis, and

423
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 6: Yannis does not want to be.

424
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 7: The player who says.

425
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 6: I want out, I want out of Milwaukee. He I

426
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 6: believe that he's ready to move on, but he doesn't

427
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 6: want to have to carry the tag of a Kevin

428
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 6: Durant or any of the other players who abandoned their

429
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 6: original team. And at the same time, John Horst, is

430
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 6: the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks, doesn't want to be

431
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 6: Nico Harrison and be the guy who who traded Giannis

432
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 6: Sante te Coompo without him saying I want to be traded.

433
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 6: So I think that's really at the heart of this.

434
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 7: Is who It's a game of chicken between those.

435
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 6: Two to determine who is going to make the move

436
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 6: that ultimately takes responsibility for Yannis leaving town. But at

437
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 6: this point I would be shocked if something doesn't happen.

438
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 6: I just don't believe it's going to happen until the

439
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 6: off season, when if you're the Milwaukee Bucks and you're

440
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 6: trading for picks, you know exactly.

441
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 7: Where those picks are because of the draft lottery.

442
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is, I feel like Yannis has gone

443
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: down the road as much as Janis wants to with

444
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: his scorched earth, like, not everybody is James Harden with

445
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: Darryl Moury is a liar. Oh wait, where your microphone's

446
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: not on? Oh wait, all right, turning on Darryl Moury

447
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: is a liar. I think Yannis in the last way

448
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: the last few months of we got a couple of

449
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: stories about how maybe Milwaukee isn't the best place for him,

450
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: his agent talking to the Bucks, maybe they talked to

451
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: the Nickson the last offseason. But in the last ten

452
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: days it's been, hey, I'm booing the fans and giving

453
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: them a thumbs down, nobody takes on the fans, and

454
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: and and lives to tell about it in the in

455
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: the in sports, and then two days later ripping all

456
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: of his teammates by saying the effort's not there. What

457
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: we're doing is not there or not in the same

458
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: We're not this like, I think that's Yannis going as

459
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: scorched earth as he wants to get to. And now

460
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: we're at the point where I think both sides are

461
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: comfortable with Yannis wants to move on. We kind of

462
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: want to move on because I'm with you, no one

463
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: wants to relive the Luca trade, and hey, wow, we

464
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: don't want to be Nico Harrison. But I feel like

465
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: this is this is where you're gonna get for both sides,

466
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: where Jannis kind of wants to move on, the Bucks

467
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: know they have to move on, like Yiannis did his part.

468
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: Now the Bucks are saying we're taking So I don't know, man,

469
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: I can see this happening before the deadline because you've

470
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: got a lot of motivated teams that suddenly Honis I

471
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: think in a couple of weeks is going to feel

472
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: Oh hey, I'm feeling a lot better. I'd come back

473
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: way sooner than six weeks. Yeah, I'm good, guys. I'll

474
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: see in a couple of weeks.

475
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 6: That that that may be. But if you're going to

476
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 6: get Yiannis, and I would I would expect that the

477
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 6: price tag is going to be pretty hefty.

478
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 7: And so if you're a team in contention, do you.

479
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 6: Want to break up what you have in order to

480
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 6: go get him?

481
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 7: I mean, and I put the Knicks in that category.

482
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 6: I think that's a that's a difficult place. And for

483
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 6: all the things that Giannis has said, he still has

484
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: plausible deniability in terms of I didn't want to go.

485
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 6: I was just pointing out all the things that are

486
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 6: wrong here.

487
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: Right, there's no hustle. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.

488
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 6: The players aren't supporting, like giving every reason, but I

489
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 6: would dare say he looks at Damian Lillard, his former teammate.

490
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 6: Damien didn't ask out of port He wanted them to

491
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 6: do something in order for him to stay, which was

492
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 6: to trade the picks that they had in order to

493
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 6: get veteran players. They weren't willing to do that, so

494
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 6: then they trade him to Milwaukee. Well what happened. Damien

495
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 6: goes back to Portland and he is received with open arms.

496
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 6: He's still beloved in Portland because he didn't demand a trade,

497
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 6: And I think that Jannis is looking at the same situation.

498
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 7: And saying, you know what, my time may be.

499
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 6: Up here, but I still like to be loved when

500
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 6: I returned back to Milwaukee. And by the way, he's

501
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: got another teammates who's experienced the exact opposite. When Miles

502
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 6: Turner went back to Indiana, they were like booing him,

503
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 6: And so Janni's got a front row seat.

504
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 7: In terms of what that feels like.

505
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 6: And I would imagine that he doesn't want to He

506
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 6: doesn't want to experience that in a place where he look. Look,

507
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 6: he grew up there. I remember going there when he

508
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 6: first got there and and he was being taught. I

509
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 6: look down in the practice court and he was being

510
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 6: taught how to throw and catch a football and was

511
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 6: imagining himself being Aaron Rodgers. That's how new he was

512
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 6: to like the whole atmosphere and growing up there, having

513
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 6: his brothers on the team. Like, I think he wants

514
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 6: to be very careful in terms of how he leaves

515
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 6: Milwaukee so that it is not scorchter.

516
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: He could throw football farther than Aaron Rodgers right now.

517
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 3: But let's stay with the lebron James tearful and a

518
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 3: thirty point loss, played terribly, couldn't see through the tears,

519
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: with the turnovers tonight, Rick Trey deadline coming up, all

520
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: of the acrimony, all those stories.

521
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: This last week. Do you see it in the short end? Yeah?

522
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 6: Wait a minute. When when did he cry pregame?

523
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: He did during a video? Yeah, yeah, do we know that?

524
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 2: I don't know they.

525
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 6: I mean pull his jersey up over his head, and

526
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 6: we actually I saw him watching the video and then

527
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 6: I saw and maybe.

528
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 7: I'm the only one who saw this, then I saw

529
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 7: a light bulb go.

530
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 6: Off in his head. Oh, I'm supposed to be emotional here. Okay,

531
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 6: I'm gonna pull my jersey over my head. It's okay,

532
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 6: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Wait a minute. Okay,

533
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 6: maybe they didn't get it that I was crying underneath

534
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 6: my jersey. So let me get the paper cowl, Let

535
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: me get the paper towels. Let me dab, let me

536
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 6: dab my eyes, let me Okay, Okay, I think I

537
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 6: sold it.

538
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 7: I think.

539
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 6: I was crying because, let's face it, Let's face it,

540
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 6: Luka Datsch. When he went back to Dallas, he was crying.

541
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 7: There's no like he was crying.

542
00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 6: No doubt about that, Lebron. I don't. I mean, this

543
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 6: is I hate to be such a skeptic or such

544
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 6: a cynic when it comes to this, but I'm sorry

545
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 6: that that Lebron has pretended to do so many things

546
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 6: that it turns out that he really didn't do or

547
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 6: says he didn't do that. I just he's not credible

548
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 6: with me. So when I watched that, I was like,

549
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 6: it looks like Lebron is doing what he thinks he's

550
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 6: supposed to be doing, as opposed to he's genuinely having

551
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 6: an emotional moment.

552
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go with you there. I got no problem

553
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 2: with that.

554
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 3: He pretended to read a book, pretend that he didn't

555
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: know Anthony Davis was going to get traded.

556
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of it. Yeah, yeah, sure, there's

557
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: a ton of it.

558
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 3: Is he still with the team for the final throws

559
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 3: of this season and eventually finds himself signing in Cleveland?

560
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 2: Or what are you thinking it? Where it sits? Now?

561
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 7: Look?

562
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 6: He was he was what a minus twenty three three

563
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 6: for ten? They got run by.

564
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 7: The Cleveland Cavaliers. Like, why is here the Cleveland Cavaliers read?

565
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 7: He go, you know what, we gotta get We gotta

566
00:27:59,440 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 7: get him.

567
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 6: If he's he's going to change things for us at

568
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 6: this point, No, I mean, look, it would. It's it's

569
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 6: it's a sentimental idea of him going back and retiring.

570
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 7: In Cleveland, but Cleveland was Cleveland's moving.

571
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 6: In it in a different direction. It doesn't if it

572
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 6: was one game, you sign him for one game, he

573
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 6: comes back and then he retires. Okay, like maybe that,

574
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 6: but that doesn't really work under the salary.

575
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 2: Chat We're going to give you one dollar.

576
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, the ceremonial signing so

577
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 6: that the guy can retire. I mean, you can, you

578
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 6: can do that in certain sports. I don't think he

579
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 6: can really do that in.

580
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 7: Team like Cleveland.

581
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 6: Where they are No this is I mean, honestly, I

582
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 6: can't imagine that Lebron doesn't want a farewell well tour, right,

583
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 6: but if he's going to get that farewell tour, and

584
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 6: I and I really don't think he wants to go

585
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 6: to like Charlotte or I mean to go someplace else

586
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 6: just to have the farewell tour. But if he stays

587
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 6: in LA he's gonna have to take a major pay

588
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 6: cut and his role is going to be even more

589
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 6: diminished than it is now. So he goes out and

590
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 6: he gets his farewell tour, but he gets.

591
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 7: It under terms.

592
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 6: That I don't know. We're gonna are going to be

593
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 6: very humbling under the circumstances, and so I'm not sure

594
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 6: what he does. I don't know how this ends well

595
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 6: at this point for Lebron James, because certainly he deserves

596
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 6: to sell a farewell tour, but he's in a position with.

597
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 7: The with unlike you know, Kobe or a number of.

598
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 6: Other guys who are on teams that really weren't very good,

599
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 6: like the Lakers are trying to move in a different

600
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 6: direction with Luca Donsons at this point, as of the

601
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 6: Cleveland Cavaliers. So where is it that he goes? You know,

602
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 6: some people have suggested the Golden State Warriors. That doesn't

603
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 6: make a whole lot of sense either. And it's I

604
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 6: don't think Steve Kerr is coming back, but if they

605
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 6: signed Lebron James, I would guarantee you he's not coming back.

606
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 6: I just I don't know what the answer is, but

607
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 6: right now it doesn't look like there's a very good

608
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 6: one for Lebron James.

609
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Rick Buker, that is at Rick Buker.

610
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: He is in tears right now. Is the interview with him?

611
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: We have to wan another.

612
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 7: It was more emotional than Lebron.

613
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: You really sold me, Rick.

614
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: You know, Rick, you pretend to do so many things

615
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: that you say you're gonna do.

616
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't know. I don't know.

617
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 6: Tears in my eyes while I was booing, Uh honest,

618
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 6: see you buddy, We'll talk to you nextsto.

619
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: Do we know Lebron was crying? I saw, I saw him,

620
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: Dad is uh his eyes. I tried to dance at it.

646
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,080

647
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: Frostburg, did you know this? Of course he knew this.

648
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 8: So O'Leary returns to the Chargers, where he worked as

Speaker 8: how Belichick could be snubbed for the Hall of Fame

Speaker 1: I don't think things are great or as great as

725
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: people believe. The president future is with the Denvercos coming

726
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: off the AFC Championship game. Obviously, look they gave it away.

727
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: And Sean Payton again, this is day five of the

728
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: rest of his life. He's gonna wake up and go

729
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: I should have kicked the field goal. But the last

730
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: couple of days and and thankfully the Bill Belichick drama

731
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: has kept this, you know, a little bit off the

732
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: radar screen. But now things are starting to really get there.

733
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: So it was announced yesterday or announced by Sean by

734
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: Sean Payton, that bo Nicks is predisposed to having that

735
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: ankle injury that he suffered at the end of the

736
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: playoff game against the Texans that wound up sidelining him

737
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: for the AFC Championship game. Right, they went in and looked,

738
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: He's had ankle injuries before, and he was predisposed to it.

739
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: They knew what was going to happen, they just didn't

740
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: know when. Okay, so clip and save that today bo

741
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: Nicks said, who whoa wo wo whoa whoa who different ankle? Well,

742
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, not the same injury, not this And and

743
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: Sean Payton got it wrong. They differ on his medical

744
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: and Sewn Peyton really the last couple weeks, I I mean,

745
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: I know there's hippo laws and everything. But I don't

746
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: know that that Sean Payton. I don't know that that

747
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 1: Drake may is cool with Sean Payton going out there

748
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: and talking medically about bo Nicks the way he is,

749
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: especially if he's getting it wrong.

750
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: So that's a that's a thing right there.

751
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: You also, so now you have the health of bo Nix,

752
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: which is in theory something.

753
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 2: You hope would get better.

754
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: But if he's had a ton of ankle injuries, which

755
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: we know, and now here's another ankle injury and it's

756
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: a break and he's gonna get back to it suddenly,

757
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: is he someone that's gonna be on the field. You

758
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: can count him being on the field because you know,

759
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: he's a running quarterback and you need your ankles to run.

760
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: Last time I checked, you need your ankles to run.

761
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: So I wonder about where things are at for him physically.

762
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: Is this gonna be something that keeps him, that nags

763
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: at him and maybe he doesn't become that great player,

764
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: maybe he's not on the field as much. How's that

765
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: relationship with Nixon and Peyton talking medically about each other,

766
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: and then you fired the offensive coordinator and a couple

767
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: of other assistants after the AFC Championship games. So wait

768
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: a minute, everything was awesome. You felt like you didn't

769
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: do well enough with the backup quarterback. Is it their

770
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 1: faulty you went that you decided to I'm sorry, did

771
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: your did Lombardi tell you, hey, man, let's.

772
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 2: Go for it?

773
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 7: Man?

774
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 2: Lombari said, let's go. He put on a.

775
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: Little hat like he's like his ancestor and said, I'm

776
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 3: in control now.

777
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the whole year wasn't what you

778
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: thought it was going to be offensively, but you were

779
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: hosting the AFC Championship game. You had to get by

780
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback and you didn't. So now you

781
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: have coaches being fired, you have the health situation of

782
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: bon Knicks, and whatever the the opinion of bo Nicks's

783
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: health situation is with Sean Payton and bo Nicks, is

784
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: the future in Denver really as rosy as we thought

785
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: it was a few days ago. These are big things, man,

786
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: And of all the things I look at, especially the

787
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: health thing for bon Nicks, like like the like all

788
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: the ankle injuries he's had, if he's prone to these, man,

789
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry. As a quarterback that needs his

790
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: legs to make plays and get out there. This is

791
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: gonna be something you gotta worry about the rest of

792
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: his career.

793
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 3: Well, you go back to last year, there were a

794
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 3: lot of reports that Peyton and Knicks weren't on the

795
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: same page, and then this year they start rolling up JK. Dobbins,

796
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 3: who they expected to be their bell. Cow gets hurt

797
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 3: as has been his history.

798
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 6: RJ.

799
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 3: Harvey, and the run game suffers a bit. Defensively, you

800
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 3: had some lapses. As good as it was and as

801
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: good as individual pieces are, certain it's undure that they

802
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 3: were gettable at times. But the fact that Bo Nicks

803
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: coming out of surgery decides he needs to address this

804
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 3: because this is something that he didn't need to do right.

805
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 3: This was not a pre scheduled conference call. No, no, no,

806
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 3: He called it and said, hey, come on in, ask

807
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 3: me whatever you need to. That's kind of a big deal,

808
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 3: very telling that he wanted to make sure he got

809
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 3: his side out right. Tough week, not necessarily the most

810
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: fun of had playing football. Life, cheaches you lesson, et cetera,

811
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: but talks about the injury. So there's going to be

812
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 3: some questions, and certainly for coaches going forward. Let this

813
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 3: be a lesson to you. Make sure you've cleared it

814
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 3: with the player before you start running your mouth. And

815
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 3: I know Sean Payton, I have a certain liking problem

816
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: with him in that I don't for not personally I

817
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 3: don't know the man, but certainly the way he's carrying himself.

818
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 3: Some of those can't wait till bounty Gate comes up

819
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 3: in his Hall of Fame campidency. But all of that

820
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 3: to say, hey, you're predisposed of this and it's an inevitability,

821
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: et cetera. You are harming the player in a number

822
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: of ways. And it may be true, right, all of

823
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: that may be true. Nicks disputes it somewhere in the

824
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 3: truth the lies somewhere in between. But as we sit

825
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 3: here today, you've got a fractured relationship. Oh and you're

826
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: resetting your offense and you still need that running back again.

827
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: Clip and save are things is the future at Brighton,

828
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: Denver as we think this is a lot of stuff

829
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: happening in five days after the AFC time.

830
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: And honest, he doesn't even know how many surgeries I've had.

831
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: Exit U about of Fresco exit Swelling dome coming up next, Yeah,

832
