I show up and we were having 13 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: a good time, that's for sure. Um asked for the 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: basketball league, Rob, should I do it after before this 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady story, We've been waiting all weekend. Yes, I 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: know waiting Rob. Rob had to go to Vegas, but 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: I know he was waiting for this. Rob. Um fresh 18 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: off a Vegas trip, So we got a lot of 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: personal stories. Um. So we had the championship game and 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: our Dad League. We had beat the other team. That's 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: hardly part of the story. This is funny. So we 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: take the court to warm up. The The Upper League 23 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: played right before us, and the team that was undefeated 24 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: had not lost all season. They lost. They only had 25 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: five guys, no bench, and they lost. And after the game, 26 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: we do a layup line. Most other teams just get 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: out and shoot. We're like nerdy, right, So we do 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: the layup line and I lay it up. And then 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: as I'm jogging past the opposing bench, the guys are 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: cleaning up. Um, three of the guys look at me 31 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: and are like saying stuff. And I'm like, oh jeez, 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: they might recognize me. And um, It's funny because I 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: was right next to the quarterback from Notre Dame Dane. 34 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: I know he loves when I mentioned him on the pod. 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: And the next time I come over by the bench, 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: the guy comes over. He's like, yo, yo, I gotta ask, 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: are you Jason McIntyre And I was like, I am, indeed, 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, I knew I saw you on 39 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: the herd. Man, I knew I saw you all right, 40 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: I see you play or whatever, and I you know, 41 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: I I whatever at this stuff. It's kind of funny. 42 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: It's usually better when it's in front of my family 43 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: because we laugh about it, but I don't. It had 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: never happened in front of Dane, and Dane was just 45 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: like stunned. So I put on like this guy is 46 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: way more famous than me. Okay, it's like quarterback Division 47 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: one football. We went on to win the game in 48 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: um easily. We went by twenty three. Listen, what we 49 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: have our three bigs. You're not beating us, that's the 50 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: bottom line. So I shot pretty well three or four 51 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: from deep. Not that not that I'm counting rob but uh, 52 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: I gotta just say. Afterward, I went up to the referees. 53 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: You know, I think the referees after every game. I'm 54 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: one of those guys, and I said to I gotta 55 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: ask um, we're thinking of moving up to the top league. 56 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: It's a lot younger guys, it's better. I'm just curious. 57 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: You saw our team, You've seen us this season? And 58 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I saw four ref four championship 59 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: games today and you guys are the second best team 60 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: I saw. So he reft two top leagues and two 61 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: our league. So I think we're moving on up, folks, 62 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: and we do. Listen, Um, one of our guys works 63 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: at a UM investment bank, and they just hired a 64 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: guy you know as one of these junior dudes who 65 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: played college basketball. He was in the n c A 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: tournament within the last seven years and he dropped twenty 67 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: points in a first round loss. I'm not gonna give 68 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: the name because we may not get him, but the 69 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: recruiting has started. Rob. We started a dynasty. Yes, we 70 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: are starting a dynasty. It felt good to win. And 71 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: I said to the guys again. Several of these guys 72 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: played high level high school or college sports, and I 73 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: said to the guys, like, this must be what it 74 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: feels like to be on varsity, because, as you guys know, 75 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: and I've told us a lot, I was a what 76 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: I think a pretty good youth athlete in terms of 77 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: quickness and speed and desire and hustle. And then everybody 78 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: hit puberty early. I did not, and I couldn't make 79 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: any of the high school teams. And that's what my 80 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: parents were like, Oh, well, Jason, you like sports, why 81 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: don't you go to like the local newspaper back when 82 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: newspapers mattered, and like, get a job covering sports. And 83 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: I was like, that's a good idea. And that's how 84 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: I kind of got into this media stuff. So yeah, 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: I know I I I was like the last guy 86 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: cut from the tennis team, which hurt. Um. I dabbled 87 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: in golf a little bit, but more it was because 88 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: my friends were on the team. Obviously tried out for basketball. 89 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: Soccer was my best sport, but then it was. I 90 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: was just devastated when I didn't make the club team 91 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: right before high school. Um, and I knew I wasn't 92 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: gonna make it, so I didn't even try out for soccer, 93 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: and all my buddies were on the soccer team, so 94 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, it kind of stung, but big pictures. I 95 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: try to tell my kids, you know, you build off 96 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: these losses and they make you better all around. And 97 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: all in all, a great season, tremendous fund Um. I 98 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: don't mind being one of the weaker guys on the team. 99 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: We've got an awesome team. It's just a great group 100 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: of dudes, and um, I'm happy we were able to 101 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: capture the championship. There may or may not rob be 102 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: a highlight reel video from the playoffs, coming from a photographer. 103 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: He goes to college locally in Los Angeles. We need 104 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: it we need that on the ground, so Rob. But 105 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: while we're talking about weekends, how was Vegas? Oh? It 106 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: was fantastic. Man. I stayed at the Aria, which is fantastical. 107 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: It is. Um it's one of those hotels. I know 108 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: people like the real Vegas grimy walk into a casino 109 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 1: and it just smells like cigarettes and regret. This is 110 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: like the exact opposite of that. It smells like jasmine 111 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: flowers and it's it's great. Um, stay there for the weekend. 112 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: Saw the John Legend concert at the Planet Hollywood. We're 113 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: in the sixth row, so I could see him dripping 114 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: sixth row. Yeah, damn player, I saw I could see 115 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: him dripping sweat on the v I p s. It 116 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: was just like an anniversary weekend. I mean, my birthday 117 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: was a couple of days ago, so me and the 118 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: miss has made a little weekend out of it. And 119 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, Like I'm not just saying 120 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: this because it's like a recency bias, that John Legend 121 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: show was one of the best shows I've been to 122 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: in a long time. Because number one, it's a smaller venue. 123 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: You think it only holds a couple of thousand people. 124 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: So like the intimacy about it is to me makes 125 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: it more enjoyable. And he has his live band, so 126 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: there's no like dis tracks, there's nothing like that. There's 127 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: no auto tunes. It's like romantic music, isn't it um 128 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: some of it some of its ballads, but then uh, 129 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, he has like eight background answers, and so 130 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: it's not like if you go to a rap I've 131 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: been a few rap shows where it's you go to 132 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: see you know, whoever jay Z and there's like Twolve 133 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: guys rapping. They it's not jay Z, and you're like, hold, 134 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: what rap? What rap shows have you been to? I've 135 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: actually seen Kanye West before he became Kanye West. That 136 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: was that was a great show because that was when 137 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: he was by himself. He's just the guy with the backpack, 138 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: like going hard. You know. That was that was cool. 139 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: But like you know, I've I've been to a few, 140 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: you know, some rock concerts. My wife's a big Roun 141 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: five fans, and some of their you know that kind 142 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: of stuff. But look at you guys getting out romantic 143 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: Maroon five, John Ledge. She likes ad. But like I 144 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: was saying that that it's a smaller venue and This 145 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: dude can really sing and really play the piano, so 146 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: you can appreciate that level of talent without all of 147 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a good show, but without all 148 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: of the extra stuff to try to dress it up, 149 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, which he didn't need 150 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: a hiro techniques. He didn't need twenty hype man. It 151 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: was dope. Was Christy ten was not there? By the way, 152 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: did you know she follows me on Twitter? She should? 153 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: I know when she once she saw the basketball you know, 154 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: videos of you drain and threes.

My son uses it all the time, some 171 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: of these suss reporters who are like on the fridge, 172 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: just tossing stuff out there. Jay Glazer says, Lamar wants 173 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson money a k A. He wants it all guaranteed. 174 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Now we suspected that, but now that we have actual 175 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: reporting behind it, I can't hate Lamar Jackson for this, 176 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: but I'll tell you right now, they're not gonna give 177 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: it to him. If you look at the comments from 178 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: owners around the league, nobody wants this. No owners want this. 179 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: The billionaires are gonna fight it. They don't want this 180 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: fully guaranteed contract thing happening. So we're Baltimore and Batishatti. 181 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: Did I say they're right? Biscotti or Batti? Bashotti is 182 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: gonna hold firm, hold firm. Where he is gonna be 183 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: really tested is if the Ravens say, get to a 184 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Because if that happens, it's gonna be tough 185 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: to say no to giving Lamar what he wants. That 186 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: being said, they lose in the first round, Lamar loses 187 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: some leverage, then it's like, well, what are we doing here? 188 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: Are we just gonna play it out? And then you're 189 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: gonna franchise tag him twice and then he's gonna be 190 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: free to go like Kirk Cousins. Because if that's the 191 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: case three years from now, the Lamar's gotta wait three 192 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: freaking years for the fully guaranteed and you know again, 193 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: seventeen game regular season tossing the playoffs, we're looking at 194 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: over fifty games from now. Lamar gonna be healthy enough 195 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: at it would be aged twenty eight to get a 196 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: fully guaranteed deal. I don't know. I just I mean, 197 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: he would have to tweak his style a little bit. 198 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: This is not that hot of a take, but I'm 199 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: rooting for Lamar Jackson. I just don't think it's gonna happen. 200 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if that is kind of sitting on 201 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: the fence, Jason pick a side. Would I if I 202 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: were the billionaire owner, Yeah, that's tough, because yeah, I 203 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: want to win, But then you've got every owner in 204 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: the league unhappy with you, and look what happened to 205 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: the Browns with Shaun Watson. If Lamar happens to step 206 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: in it, you know the owners are waiting, just waiting, waiting, 207 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: waiting for any opportunity to knock you down a peg. 208 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm definitely rooting for more player mobility, more players 209 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: getting paid in the NFL. I mean, you see the 210 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball UH and NBA, these guys are getting 211 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: paid ridiculous amounts. Meanwhile, the NFL players put their bodies 212 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: on the line. I know there's careers are a lot 213 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: shorter and they're not getting the fully guaranteed or nearly 214 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: as much money. So I'm rooting for Lamar. I just 215 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: don't think it's feasible that he's gonna get Watson money. 216 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: As for the idea rob that they offered him Kyler 217 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: more than Kyler Murray, Like, whoop the damn new. You 218 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: know the guy's got an m v P. He's been 219 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: in the playoff multiple years, Kyla Mura has and I've 220 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: been a defender of Kyler Murray. Guy's got one playoff trip, 221 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: zero playoff wins so far. And just to one last reminder, guys, 222 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: You're not paying for what they've accomplished. You're paying for 223 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: what you think they can do in the future. So Lamar, 224 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: m v P awesome, well done. You know, Lamar can't 225 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: sit here and say I've done more than Josh Allen 226 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: like that doesn't mean anything. What can the future hold 227 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: for you? And it is a big projection. It's a 228 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: difficult projection. Some of these NBA sites are awesome because 229 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: you can easily punch up two NBA players and compare 230 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: all NBA All Star points per game averages m v 231 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: P blah blah blah, all that stuff. It's tougher with NFL, 232 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: but Rob, I was able to find an NFL comparison 233 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: site and it's funny as good as you think, Lamar 234 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: Jackson is. Are you ready for this, Rob, Josh Allen 235 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: has more career wins than him as the starter now 236 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: he has he's obviously started more games, uh, and he 237 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: has more losses as well, But he's got way more 238 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: completions uh. The completion percentage. Lamar has him by a 239 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: little bit. But again, these counting stats don't matter as 240 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: much as Holy Cow, I got a six ft five 241 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: two pound tank who can beat you through the air 242 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: for the first half of the season, then roll out 243 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: the ground game in the second half, and they're going 244 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: to the show and listen. There's a reason the Buffalo 245 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: Bills rob or the Super Bowl favorites. There's a reason 246 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the m v P favorite. That team 247 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: is loaded and his arrow is pointing very very far up. 248 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I don't think that's that hot of 249 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: a take. You know that now, and it's good. But 250 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: as far as your Lamar Jackson angle, do I think 251 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: he's going to get the fully guaranteed contract. No, because 252 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: I think ultimately not having an agent's gonna heard him 253 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: in this situation. Do I think that he deserves it, Absolutely, 254 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: because there's nothing We talked about this plenty of times 255 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: before at Nausea. There is nothing more valuable in sports 256 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: than a franchise quarterback, even more so than your favorite 257 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: NBA player, because you cannot consistently win at a high 258 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: level without a franchise quarterback. You can win in the 259 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: NBA with a bunch of scrappy guys and you know, 260 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: an All Star or two. You can be a solid 261 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: playoff team. You can might even make a deep run 262 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: and maybe when the finals the way that Detroit Pistons 263 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: in two thousand four. But in the NFL that what 264 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: there's like two or three teams you can think of 265 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: ever whoever want without having a legitimate franchise quarterback under center. 266 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: And with the way the Baltimore Ravens are set up, 267 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: it's not just the way they run their offense. It's 268 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: not just their offensive weapons, you know, heavy with the 269 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: tight ends and Mark Andrews receivers are not a list names, 270 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: but they all can run deep, which is something that 271 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson does really well. He's a very good deep 272 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: all thrower. But also defensively, the way they build their 273 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: defense is to be attacking downhill because they know, with 274 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson at the controls, it's a ball control offense 275 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: that's going to shorten the game. So you're it's gonna 276 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: naturally make you on the other side want to have 277 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: to throw the ball and score fast, and they take 278 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: advantage of it. Everything they do in Baltimore is built 279 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: around Lamar Jackson, offensive defensively, the play caller, so he 280 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: has more leverage I think than anybody this side of 281 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: what Patrick Mahomes. Wait, so wait a second, hold on 282 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: rob They did successfully build around Joe Flacco and then 283 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: quickly pivoted I believe. Did they go from Flacco right 284 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: to Lamar Jackson? Yes, I feel like and listen, that's 285 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: tough because those are polar opposite cement choose Flacco sitting 286 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: in the pocket. I don't even think he was what 287 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: was he the eighteenth pick overall out of Delaware and 288 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: they made they want a Super Bowl with him, and 289 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: then they almost pivoted on the fly to Lamar Jackson, 290 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: which is super impressive. So it makes you wonder, rob 291 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: given how they quickly shifted from Flacco to Lamar, couldn't 292 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: they theoretically shift back if they were to find another 293 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: quarterback and go right back to a pocket guy. I 294 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: would say no, because they don't have the weapons to 295 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: do that. Everything that they do is built around his 296 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: ability to run. And so Lamar Jackson, as I've been saying, 297 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: needs to hold the line and get his fully guaranteed contract. 298 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's actually gonna get the Deshaun 299 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: Watson deal because the Cleveland Browns were obviously desperate, and 300 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: I think the only way it's gonna we're actually worked 301 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: out in the NFL is if you're a free agent 302 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: where guys are actually gonna get the fully guaranteed deals 303 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: Allah Watson, Allah Kirk Cousins. But the you know, getting 304 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: an offer that's more than Kyler Murray is not something 305 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: that you should be excited about. I mean, he's a 306 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: two thirty million dollar contract with a hundred and three guaranteed. 307 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: So it's like, oh, he's the second most guarantee in 308 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: the NFL. Yeah, And so you see that Aaron Rodgers 309 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: has a hundred and one out of a hundred and 310 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: fifty guaranteed and Dak Prescott has out of one sixty guaranteed. 311 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: So would I'd rather have the the total bigger guarantee 312 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: but it's less than half of my total deal? Or 313 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: would I'd rather have the Aaron Rodgers Dak Prescott where 314 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: it's like two thirds of my contract? So that should 315 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: be the benchmark if he's not getting at least se 316 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: of his contract fully guaranteed. I don't even know what 317 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about. I will say some people this is 318 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle. Sometimes. The Cleveland Browns are desperate 319 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: as an organization. They have gone through a billion quarterbacks 320 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: in the last I don't know what twenty five years. 321 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens, I would say, are kind of the opposite. 322 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: They have uh two Super Bowl wins two thousand and 323 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: two thousand twelve, They've they've won the division six times. 324 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: These guys are not desperate like the Browns. The breson 325 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: the Browns gave Watson is because they were desperate, they 326 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: could never find a franchise quarterback, desperation, breeds over paying. 327 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: I don't consider Baltimore desperate. They have third team playoff 328 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: appearances in there, what twenty some odd years in Baltimo 329 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: in twenty six seasons in Baltimore, so fifty of the 330 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: time they make in the playoffs. That's not what the 331 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: Browns have done. So this is again I'm in Lamar's corner. 332 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,959 Speaker 1: I just don't think the Ravens are gonna do it. 333 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 334 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports 335 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app 336 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. I quickly we'll 337 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: just do a moment on the NBA, just briefly, because 338 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: there were a couple of reports out robbed as this 339 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: nets Kyrie, Kevin durant thing festers. I did see a 340 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: report from Brian Windhorst. I don't know if it was 341 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: online or somebody aggregated his podcast or whatever, excuse me, 342 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: that the Nets want to keep Kyrie and KD for 343 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: this season. They don't want to trade them. That was 344 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: that's their goal. That being said, another report, this one 345 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: I don't know who is from. Rob, Maybe you can 346 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: help me out, but the Nets do not trust Kyrie Irving, 347 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: which so conflicting. ESPN reports the Nets don't trust Kyrie. 348 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: I guess theoretically you could want to keep him, not 349 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: sign him because you don't trust him. And then another 350 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: report I believe this one was from Mark Stein, was 351 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: that they don't want draft picks for Kyrie. They want 352 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: established players. And that's clearly a message to the Lakers. 353 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: We don't want Russell Westbrook, who is not an established player. 354 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: He is an expiring contract, and we don't want your 355 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 1: your draft picks three or four years from now. We 356 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: want guys. That to me, Rob is a signal that 357 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: dovetailing off Lebron last week. Lebron is willing to sign. 358 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: Why is he willing to sign because he knows the 359 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: outcome of Russ. Now, I don't know, Rob, we flip flopped. 360 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm almost embarrassed that I'm flip flopping like a politician here. 361 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: But with every report, you're kind of shifting. I don't know. 362 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm starting to think now, no, no Kyrie to the Lakers. 363 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: The problem is I don't know where he goes, Like 364 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: what logical landing spot? Who wants to take on Kyrie 365 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Irving for a year while giving up established players when 366 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: you know he's gonna do something crazy and want to 367 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: go somewhere else? And balance? Like who's doing that? Rob? Nobody? Right? 368 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: What are the Orlando Magic gonna say we will trade 369 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: for Kyrie? We don't really have established players, but we'll 370 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: give you some guys and Kyrie you have to sign 371 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: with us. Like, no, I'm not doing that. So if 372 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: you really start to look around the league, Rob, and like, 373 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: who's willing to take on Kyrie Irving? Who has left Lebron, 374 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: left Boston, and now is is going to leave Brooklyn 375 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: a team which he basically hand picked? Nobody good in 376 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: the East, right nor what to me? This this screams 377 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: three team deal. Okay, but where's Kyrie landing the Lakers? 378 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: Where the Lakers don't have the players. Somebody Indiana, Utah, 379 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: whoever pick. So I will say the only one that 380 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: I had seen that had an ounce of sense to 381 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: it was the Utah Jazz, who clearly are looking to 382 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: unload Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks. But they still even 383 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: if they you know, after they traded Gobert and now 384 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: they're trading Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks. It's not done, 385 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: but everybody thinks it's gonna happen. They still have on 386 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: the roster Mike Conley, Um, Bogdanovich, Um, like those are 387 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: you don't really want Pat Bev I guess in theory, 388 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: but like Bogdanovitch can still play. You know, he's he's 389 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: not bad player. Let's see here, Bogganovitch at from on 390 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: six threes a game last year. Um Jordan's parks and 391 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: is instant offense, chucker off the bench. Conny con hit 392 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: his threes last year, but he's definitely fallen off. Like 393 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, so you're saying, what like the Jazz, 394 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: but what are the Jazz getting in that deal? The 395 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: Lakers picks to garbage picks, but two Lakers first round 396 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: picks from was it's seven, five and seven years from now, 397 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: holds a lot more value than two Lakers first round 398 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,719 Speaker 1: picks next season. And then Jazz also might get like 399 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: six picks from the Knicks, and then they have just 400 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: a billion picks they got from so they're like now 401 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: the new Oklahoma City. Yeah, and I know this seems 402 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: confusing to a lot of people, Like you know, you 403 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: had three different reports that you read off, and I 404 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 1: think Windhorse, you know, front of the show, he's right 405 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: on the money. I think if it's up to Brooklyn, 406 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: they don't want to break up Kevin Durant and Kyrierie. 407 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: You people forget that Kyrie opted into his deal and recommit. 408 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: It's Kevin Durant's, you know, basically specifically to Kevin Durant, 409 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: not even twenty four hours later is when k D 410 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: requested the trade. Like Brooklyn, the way their roster is 411 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: assembled right now, I can't think of a better situation 412 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: for Kevin Durant was once the if he gets traded, 413 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: that's gonna be better than what he's currently in Brooklyn. 414 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: So and that's I'm sorry, that's with Mike Conley and Bogdanovitch. 415 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: Just like if you run it back with Katie, Kyrie 416 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: and the guys they have. Now, there's no way you 417 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: can convince me that if it's Katie to Boston, Katie 418 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,239 Speaker 1: to Toronto, Katie to New Orleans, whatever, that wherever he 419 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: ends up is going to have more talent than Brooklyn has. 420 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: Right now, Well, I Boston with Tatum if they don't 421 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: give up Smart and Robert Williams. But are you making 422 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: that trade with It's just Jaylen Brown, well, Jaylen Brown 423 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: and the other kid, the skinny kid from San Antonio 424 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: that's gone down. That's not not for me. That being said, 425 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: Rob Holy caw, just listening to you say that. So 426 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: everybody knew Lebron after they won the title in Cleveland, 427 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: Lebron was going to bounce right and Kyrie beat him 428 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: to the punch. Remember, Kyrie's like, trade me, I'll fake 429 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: an injury and get certain not fake, but I'll claim 430 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: I need surgery on this, blah blah blah. And they 431 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: had to trade him, and he had years left on 432 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 1: his deal and he that's when he went to Boston, right, 433 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: I think he was there for two years. So is 434 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: this Kevin Durant saying, ain't no way in hell Kyrie 435 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: staying here regardless, I gotta get out before I'm left 436 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: here holding the bag next year. And he's trying to 437 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: beat that's especially given you know the reports that in 438 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: his meeting with Josiah he's requesting that Steve Nash and 439 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: Sean Marks get fired. It's like they just gave Sean 440 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: Marks a new contract. So obviously the owners tied to him. 441 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: You only make those outland dish requests knowing they're gonna 442 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: say no. You know, it's just just to to further 443 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: cement your trade demand. He's like, okay, fine, I'll come back. 444 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: We gotta do X, Y and Z, and they're not 445 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: gonna do it. So you know, obviously Brooklyn wants to 446 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: run it back because they know that that group of 447 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: guys is probably better than what they can get. So 448 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: once it becomes clear that Kevin Durant is not going 449 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: to come back to Brooklyn, which I think will happen 450 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, where it's just gonna 451 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: be flat out no, I'm not coming back. I'll hold 452 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: out a camp or whatever you think you'd willing be 453 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: willing to hold out. Uh. Yes, I don't think he'll retire, 454 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: but I could see him holding out from camp, Like, look, 455 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: the the NFL. This you know we started starting with 456 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: the NFL and the NBA and guarante contracts. The NFL 457 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: laid the blueprint for how to get things the way 458 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: you want him, and that is holdouts. I'm not reporting 459 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: to camp unless I get my new money. James Harden says, 460 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: all right, I'll show up, but I'm just gonna be 461 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: such an asshole to everybody and to be out of 462 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: shape that you're gonna have no choice but to trade me. 463 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons doesn't show up at all. And so the 464 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: way professional sports are structured now, with the dollar amounts 465 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: and the way things are geared towards superstars, if you 466 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: want out, if you want change, the best way to 467 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 1: do it is to cause a ruckis. And so for 468 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, I think it's just, hey, I'm not I'm 469 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: not coming to camp. Trade me. You've known this for 470 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: three months now, you see, you'll see again, You'll see 471 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: a trade to go down. Brooklyn's not incentivized a tank 472 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: because they don't own any other picks, so it makes 473 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: sense why they would rather get established players in a 474 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: Kyrie deal. And ultimately what it all ends up with 475 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: is I've been telling you for weeks. Is Kyrie Irving, 476 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: Lebron James and Anthony Davis with the Lakers and we 477 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: went another championship Kyrie Lebron A D Simon says, championship. Absolutely. 478 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: Where's Kevin Durrett. Uh this exercise, I'm gonna say he 479 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: ends up in Boston. So the net Laker Laker Celtics 480 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: could be a spicy one if that actually, But let's 481 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: back up. I'm just curious what what are Lake Kyrie 482 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: the Lakers? What? What are the Nets getting a return? Uh? 483 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: They'll get Buddy Healed and Miles Turner. I think that's 484 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: a better pairing than anything. So just let me let 485 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: me go to the next depth chart here. So the 486 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: Nets are looking at Ben Simmons, Buddy Healed, Um, Seth Curry, 487 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: Miles Turner, Jalen Brown, Derrek White. Um. I would guess 488 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: it's either going to be more. I think Marcus smartin 489 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: that deal. I Marcus or Robert Williams. One of those two. No, 490 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: they're not giving up. Robert Williams get one of them. 491 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: You gotta get one. It's Kevin Durant man like. But 492 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: the Nets job I don't think they need to do that. 493 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: They were in the finals. The nets of the desperate 494 00:26:54,160 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: ones here. Yeah, but it's Kevin Durant, Kyrie Man. I 495 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: can't believe this team had Kyrie Harden and Durant like 496 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,120 Speaker 1: months ago. I remember that it was the greatest team 497 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: that never was, that never was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so 498 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: that's interesting. Could could Ben Simmons, Jalen Brown, Buddy Healed, 499 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: and Miles Turner. That's a playoff team in the East. 500 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons like can play. Um, you know, they're probably 501 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: in the six seven eight category. I guess, yeah, playing team. Yeah. 502 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: I just want to be on record the Hawks are 503 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: going to be my team of destiny this year. You 504 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: just like trade Young because you guys are the same height. No, 505 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: I think he's got me buy it? No, I just 506 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: I really. I also liked the fire that I saw 507 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: from Dejon to Murray this summer going at Paolo Bonkarro 508 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: in Seattle, Like that's a dog that the Hawks did 509 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: not have. UM, so we assumed Brooklyn falls off a little. 510 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: I don't think Chicago will be back. I think the 511 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: Raptors were a little bit of fool's gold. Um. I 512 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: think Miami is not gonna win fifty three games again. 513 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: So you're looking at Boston Bucks sixers as the clear class. 514 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: I think Hawks could sneak in as the four. And then, 515 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: my gosh, the how sickly loaded is the West? Oh 516 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: my goodness. Um. Anyways, all right, that's a long pod 517 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: on Monday. I will see you tomorrow.
