It's like we're waiting for 73 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: what is it the chronic to the chronic Dame to 74 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: request the trade for painting for the new Grand theft 75 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 3: all though exactly so. 76 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: We ended up seeing it now and it looks like 77 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: the Miami Heat are the leaders in the clubhouse for 78 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: Damian Lillard.

Because hey, you know, full disclosure. 80 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: He was the one saying every other you know, we're. 81 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 4: Waiting for news, We're waiting for news. Well, we finally 82 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 4: got news. 83 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 2: And it says that the Portland trul Blazers are willing 84 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 2: to work with Damian Lillard trying to get into the 85 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: right the right place for the right price, and that 86 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: place seems to be Miami, I think, and I think 87 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: that would be the movie that Miami has to make 88 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: if they want to continue to be where they've been 89 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: the last three out of the four feats, the three 90 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: out of the last four seasons, which is in the 91 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: conference finals. 92 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so interested in this and I'm glad it's 93 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: finally happening. But now, okay, let's start talking about who's 94 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: gotta go. We know he wants to play with Bam, right, 95 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 3: so Bam can't be in the deal. But if you're Portland, 96 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 3: are you just are you? Are you handcuffed right now 97 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: to take in just kind of anything Tyler Hero? 98 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: I don't care if you can be Tyler Hero. 99 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: They lost gave Vincent to the Lakers, so you can't 100 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: even do any type of side and trade and put 101 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: him in on the deal. What else are you giving 102 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: up for Dame? And if you're Portland, what are you 103 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: taking back? Bam has got to be in this deal. 104 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 3: But Dame has made it clear exactly. Dame's made it 105 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: clear and then Bam that they want to play with 106 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: each other. So if you're Portland, did you blow this 107 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: by waiting this long to move him? Because the deal 108 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 3: they're gonna get, man, is gonna be garbage. 109 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: It's not gonna be a deal that you go. 110 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 3: Okay, that's okay, value back for Dame Lillard. 111 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. 112 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: When you look around at some of the other deals, 113 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: I don't know how you say it's gonna be dark 114 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: garbage when like you know, again, like they Chris Paul 115 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 3: and salary dumps, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, 116 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: that's the type of moves that are happening in the 117 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 3: league right now. Look at what the Sons had to 118 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: give up to get Bradley Beal, Like, people look at that. 119 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be something along the line. You know, 120 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: they'll give out picks, They'll give out you know, one 121 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 3: of these undrafted players. 122 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: A few of these undrafted players. I know a lot 123 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 4: of these guys have. 124 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: Already moved, Like Max Struz would have been a good 125 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 2: signing trade option. He's going to Cleveland. But I mean, 126 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the point is the 127 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: Blazers are gonna work with Damian Lillard, so then they're 128 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: gonna get the trade that essentially the players are gonna 129 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: be the ones that he wants to play with. 130 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 4: They're not gonna to do it otherwise. 131 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, let me ask you, is do you think that 132 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: there's any chance that Portland kind of balks at this 133 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 3: and say, Okay, we're not giving you away for garbage. 134 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 3: We're not giving you away for nothing. We're not giving 135 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: you away for you know, or if you don't like it, 136 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: don't play. 137 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 4: You can sit. 138 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 3: This is the greatest blazer of all time. Like, this 139 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: is the greatest blazer of all time. Overwhelm, Yes, this 140 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 3: is the championship. Is when you look at the history, 141 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 3: like from the run that Damian Lilland has had. All right, 142 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: I'll say this the greatest blazer in the last thirty 143 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: forty years. All Right, there you go, in my opinion, 144 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 3: the greatest one of all time. But I don't hear it. 145 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: I don't really truly care about the hierarchy of the 146 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: best Portland trail blazers out there. However, when you are 147 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: a small town market like that, you cannot alienate your 148 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: your historical star. You can't do it. I'm from New Orleans. 149 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: I am the king of the small market. Archie Manning 150 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: is the President of New Orleans. You can't icy you can't. 151 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: You're not doing that. Damian Lillard never is buying an 152 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: in Portland for the rest of his life. Right, don't 153 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: make it ugly, don't make it terrible. 154 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 4: And on the backside, Damien, don't necessarily accept anything that's 155 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: just gonna leave Portland high and dry. You said you 156 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 4: wanted to. 157 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 3: Win here all this time for the fans, for this 158 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: and that well, all right, well it's not gonna work 159 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 3: out in that way. That doesn't mean you gotta rob 160 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: the bank on the way out of the door. I 161 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 3: think you'll end up getting something like at least two 162 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: or three rotational players, some picks. 163 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 4: Portland will be fine. 164 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: His reality situation is they weren't winning with them, They're 165 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: not gonna win without them. So just take the moment here. 166 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 3: A guy who's the first team is the first first 167 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 3: team All NBA guy that you've had since Brandon Roy, 168 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: like in the last twenty years, thirty. 169 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 4: Years, Rod just Man. Just let him ride off into 170 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 4: this sunset. Take out his big backpage ad and whatever 171 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: newspaper is is in Portland, take out a billboard over 172 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 4: the over the arena, thanks for the memories. Do all 173 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 4: of that and wash your hands of it. You don't 174 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 4: want it. This to be like an Anthony Davis. 175 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: That's all folks scenario as he's leaving the Elegans And 176 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 2: just to be clear, Anthony Davis and at nearly not 177 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: half the legacy that Damie little more Portland. 178 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 3: Of course, I agree with you on don't make it ugly, 179 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: But if I'm Portland, I still as a front office 180 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: to have to remember, I'm running this like a business, 181 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: and I'm running this for the future. You got school Anderson, 182 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: you got some young nice pieces there, and Chauncey Billis 183 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: I think will be a good head coach. That's gonna 184 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: take some time. But I just don't think you just 185 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 3: take back, you know, Penny's expiring contract. Probably Kyle Lowry's 186 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: going to be in on this deal and they'll move 187 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: him at thirty seven years old. But I just, man, 188 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: it feels like to me, if they'd have moved them 189 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: a year ago, or if they'd have moved them all, 190 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: you know, maybe two years ago, you definitely would have 191 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: got a much better deal and probably been be in 192 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 3: a much better place today had you done it then. 193 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: And I think the front office is kind of they 194 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: were kind of being betting against themselves the entire time, 195 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 3: and now that it's out. 196 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: There their star. 197 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: They were betting on Damian lit on their ability to 198 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: make moves around the edges, and I think they were 199 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: betting on that moment up until now, Like I really 200 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: do you look at them re signing Jeremy Grant for 201 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: the amount of money that they resigned it it's a 202 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: hefty number, you know, I think they They probably went 203 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: to Dame and was like. 204 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 4: Yo, look we got scooped. 205 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: He would have been the number one overall picking other 206 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 3: drafts like you know we got you know we're gonna 207 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: brasign you guys. And I think it just ultimately got 208 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: to a moment of this is not enough, This is 209 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: not enough for me. 210 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 4: Do you think this move happens fast? We gotta tell. 211 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 4: I got a text message from Bow on the way 212 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 4: in well both things. 213 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: He's getting traded, he said, I got a feeling he's 214 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: gonna be traded during our show today. You think it 215 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: happens that fast or just take some time through the 216 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 3: opening week of July, which is normally the hot week 217 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: of free agency. 218 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 4: No, I don't know. I think that it happens in 219 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 4: relatively shorter I'd say, for example, James Harden, I expect 220 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 4: to take double to triple the amount of time Errol Moury, 221 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: we know that's what I'm saying. 222 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 2: I expect that to take double to triple the amount 223 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: of time that it would take for Damien Little to move, 224 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 2: because realistically speaking, all of these potential Damian Lillard trades, 225 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: I mean, hell, if we've been outlining on the radio 226 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: and TV for the last twenty days. The Trailblazers have 227 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 2: been doing it for the last forty ath minimum, right, 228 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So all the framework now 229 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: it's like get goes from the number three pick to 230 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: now it's like, oh, now it's scoot in terms of 231 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: the move, right, you know now that those picture actualized 232 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: now in terms of instead of just being you know, 233 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: arbitrary number four, number five in the draft, now actually 234 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: it's an actual player in person. 235 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think these moves, these trades have been 236 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 3: at least not agreed to obviously, but argued about, debated, 237 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 3: negotiate and talked about. 238 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 4: Them stuff exactly. They do stuff like that. 239 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: So let's this is this move's happening. So I guess 240 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: we switched to the heat and we figure out, Okay, 241 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 3: where does Dame Lillard going to the Heat place them? 242 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: You and I were talking about it maybe about three 243 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 3: weeks ago when we were on Jimmy Butler's case, and 244 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: I thought about the Dame thing. We mentioned that day 245 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 3: and said, well, if they ever get Dame like the 246 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: rumors are, this isn't Jimmy Butler's team anymore. 247 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 4: Dyke he's not the one. Dame Lillard would be the one. 248 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 3: Do you put them right up there in contention in 249 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: the East day lane, dead Land Dame Lillard and they're 250 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: right there with Boston and the Bucks. I do, I do, 251 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 3: and I think I mean realist. I mean, we gotta 252 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 3: remember they just made this Eastern Conference run. And again, 253 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 3: I know they had a bad regular season, but three 254 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 3: out of the last four Eastern Conference finals. 255 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 4: I've been to Miami exactly. 256 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 3: So, like when you're sitting there and you're thinking about it, 257 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: like which one is the blip? 258 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: Maybe this regular season? 259 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: You look at the way that they said, all right, 260 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 3: we have all these undrafted players. I really love the 261 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 3: moves that they've made and some of the lack of 262 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 3: moves that they've made, like the idea letting gave Vincent 263 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 3: move on and good, good for you, you got paid. 264 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 4: But like, he's not. You know what I'm saying, He's not. 265 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 4: We saw it. He saw it. He got paid off 266 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference finals. That's he's praying his ankle and 267 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 4: he was just the same. He's playing through injury. 268 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 3: So I'm not trying to chastise him or anything of 269 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: that nature, but we saw at the the end of 270 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: games for Miami, it was Jimmy or Bust, and reality 271 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 3: was Jimmy didn't have all He doesn't have the bag. 272 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 3: Offensively that that's really where you want to live, is 273 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 3: Jimmy or Bust? Right, Yeah, all of those running those 274 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: plays and all of that's good, but when it comes 275 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: down to crunch time, you need to have players who 276 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: can make big time shots in big time moments. 277 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: Damian Lillard has a history and track record of when 278 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: he is. When he is in big time moments, he performs. Yeah, 279 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 2: I like him in the top three. 280 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 4: I do. 281 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: I like him in the top three. Boston is still 282 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: just such an anomaly to me because I still stay 283 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: in hardcore on I just don't understand trading Marcus Smart. 284 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 3: I really don't, especially for poor Zingis. I just I'm 285 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: gonna question that until I'm proven wrong. But I think 286 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 3: right there with the Bucks. Also, if the Bucks are healthy, 287 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 3: I agree with you. Though they've been to three or 288 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 3: four last four Eastern Conference finals, they have the whole heat. 289 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: Coach of Eric Spots is still their coach, pat Riley. 290 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 3: It's still their their you know, their VP and GM 291 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: and running the show there and you know he's got 292 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: a great circle around him. So I think they're definitely 293 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 3: a top three team, and I'm just not sure if 294 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: Dan puts them over the top. 295 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 4: I think it's still Tyler Hero might have put them 296 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 4: over the top last year. 297 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 3: You gotta remember that that's twenty points in the regular 298 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 3: season that was on the bench. We talked about bad 299 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 3: the heat regular season was Tyler Herro at least. 300 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: Was average twenty during irregular You know what I'm saying. 301 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: He was their primary, he was the other guy. He 302 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 4: was the number two hurt in the first playoff game, 303 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: didn't he yet? 304 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 6: Right? 305 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 4: Like first half? 306 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: Like they essentially made that entire run without him. So 307 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: when you look at it, it's like, yeah, they just 308 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 3: need a couple more shot makers. And you're telling me, 309 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: I'm getting I mean, off the top of my head, 310 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: there are He's made fourth these average four to may 311 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 3: three pointers the season three times. The only other person 312 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 3: to do that more than that is Steph Curry with seven, right, 313 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 3: So we're talking to we're talking about a big time 314 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: shot maker. 315 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 4: Damian Lillard. Is that of course? 316 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: I don't look, I'm not knocking to move at all. 317 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: I just my head is now Okay, where are they 318 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 3: pecking order they're doing? Do they They could run to 319 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference finals again, and then once they get there, 320 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 3: like you said, you got a guy like Dame who 321 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 3: can actually put you over the top down to clutch. 322 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 3: I do think he definitely becomes the heats clutch guy. 323 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: Like he's the closer. He's the guy that you're running through. 324 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: And if he's got a kick it to somebody, then 325 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: you still got You still have Bam and you still 326 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: have Jimmy Butler, and they'll get other players and still 327 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 3: have other players there in other pieces. But I'm just 328 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the Eastern Conference and I'm like, Okay, 329 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 3: top three squads gotta be Boston, Milwaukee in Miami, and 330 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 3: I would have put them there. I would still think 331 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 3: Milwaukee healthy is still the best team in the East 332 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: when everybody is when everybody suited up, especially with them 333 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: reading up Chris Middleton and keeping their court together. Got 334 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 3: to work on the Brook Lopez, make sure he doesn't 335 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: get out of there, and if they lose him, that 336 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 3: will definitely hurt them. But yeah, I like top three, 337 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna hold a little reserve for whether I 338 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 3: think Dane puts them over the top for them to 339 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: win a championship. 340 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 4: I'm further down on Milwaukee than I think a lot 341 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: of people are. Really. Yeah, after watching that first round 342 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 4: series last year, seeing how just you know. 343 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 3: I just you know, you didn't think sitting you on 344 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: us that one game and then just killed the moment. 345 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: The reality of the situation is you look at it, 346 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: and you just look across the league, especially when you 347 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 3: get to the playoffs. 348 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 4: You really got to have hoopers. 349 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: You gotta have guys who gotta go out there and 350 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: make their own shots and and be able to figure 351 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 3: it out by themselves with six seconds left on the clock. 352 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 3: You gotta be able to have guys who don't need 353 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: players drawn up for them. Like you want to be 354 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 3: able to operate in that framework, of course, but like 355 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 3: you need somebody to go freelance to break things off 356 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: when things are going wrong. And I don't know if 357 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: Milwaukee has enough of that for me to say that 358 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: they can go to the championship at this point unless 359 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: be honest, of course, is doing what he did on 360 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: that one run where he's going, you know, fifty points 361 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: a game. 362 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 4: So for you, it's Boston Miami. 363 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: I have it right there.

I'm sick 588 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 2: and tired of hearing about Dame Lillard want this day 589 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: married to the Grind. It seems as if him and 590 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 2: the Grind have gotten a divorce. What's going on? What's 591 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: the latest out of Portland? 592 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 4: My guys? 593 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, look Blazers GM, Joe Cronin. He gave a 594 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 5: statement to me and some others where he said, you know, 595 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 5: we've been clear that we want Dame here, but he 596 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 5: notified us today that he wants out and he preferred 597 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 5: to play someplace else. What has not changed for us 598 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 5: is that we're committed to winning. We're going to do 599 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 5: what's best for the team in pursuit of that goal. 600 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 5: You know, I did some more digging after that, just 601 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 5: trying to talk to folks in the organization. What was 602 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 5: conveyed to me was this is a fluid situation. So 603 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 5: the early senses, the Blazers are comfortable with playing this out, 604 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 5: whether you know they trade Damian Liwards, you know, today, tomorrow, 605 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 5: next few days, or you know, really play out the 606 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 5: long game with waiting through the rest of free agency, 607 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 5: haven't forbid even until next season, because I don't think 608 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 5: that they're in rebuild mode. They want to still make 609 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 5: moves that will make themselves, you know, a competitive playoff contender, 610 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 5: and so with that, I think that you will see 611 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 5: a much different situation than what you saw with the 612 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 5: watching Wizards when they traded Bradley be Able to Phoenix 613 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 5: worse about just collecting assets containing the restar buttons. 614 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 3: Martin mcdana vj Ryder Husky here, great talking to you 615 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 3: for a second day in a row, buddy. 616 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 4: How you doing manwise? I'll take it, man, Yes, sir. 617 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: So let's go to that ownership because I just kind 618 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 3: of threw that at Martin where I do think I 619 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 3: agree with Martin that I think they should do right 620 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: by Dame Lillard. But they are still a business. They 621 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: are still they still need to worry about themselves first. Yeah, 622 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 3: we'll move you if if, if that's what you want, 623 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: but we're just not taking back scraps. We're not taking 624 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: any deal. We'll stand fast on this, and you being 625 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 3: that you brought that up. But I feel like, and 626 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 3: Marg's correcting me, it's not the eleventh to twelve hours, 627 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 3: the eleventh hour, So I'm gonna say eleven fifty nine. 628 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 3: I feel like they've waited till eleven fifty nine. If 629 00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 3: they were gonna move them, they probably should have did 630 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 3: is maybe a year, year and a half, even maybe 631 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 3: two years ago that now the deal they're going to 632 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 3: get is going to be so bottom of a barrel 633 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 3: because other teams know they want out, that Dame Lillard 634 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 3: wants out. 635 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 4: Man, what do you see with that? 636 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 5: Yeah? I think that there was a slow build up 637 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 5: because I even asked Joe Cronin before the trade deadline 638 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 5: out this past season, but the previous season when it 639 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 5: seemed like, you know, there is the sports on the 640 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 5: road where you blow up, and I said, why not 641 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 5: just restart here from scratch here and do a rebuild? 642 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 5: And he said that I don't feel like we have 643 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 5: the appetite to do it, and we feel confident that 644 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 5: we can still stay competitive with what they have. And 645 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 5: at that point, that was days before they finally traded CJ. McCollum, 646 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 5: which you know, there were a lot of calls for 647 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 5: them to break up that backcourt for a while, and 648 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 5: so I think what happened was the Blazers were in 649 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 5: this catch twenty two where they made the playoffs for 650 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 5: eight consecutive seasons. From that standpoint, they're one of the 651 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 5: most consistent teams for a good stretch of this past decade. 652 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 5: The problem was they were never really a serious contender. 653 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 5: They're always seen as a dangerous playoff team, but nothing 654 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,479 Speaker 5: more than getting past the second round, And when they 655 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 5: got to the West Finals in twenty nineteen against the Warriors, 656 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 5: it was a prime opportunity because Kevin Durant without the 657 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 5: entire series with a calf injury, and they got slept still, 658 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 5: and so I think because of that, it's been this 659 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 5: kind of slow burn where, you know, even Damian Lillard 660 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 5: talking to him over the years, he was always adamant 661 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 5: that he was about that grind, he was about not 662 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 5: trying to forge super teams, and some of it was 663 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 5: also through a pragmatic lens that hey, even if they 664 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 5: didn't win titles, they were always considered a team that 665 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 5: could make a run in the playoffs and all they 666 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,479 Speaker 5: needed was one or two pieces, and so fast forwarding 667 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 5: it now, I think there was some series of events 668 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 5: here where Damian Lillard's getting hurt, they're losing, They're having 669 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 5: young guys that seem like they have some good potential, 670 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 5: but it's going to be a long rebuild. And so 671 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 5: when the season was over and he said that, you know, 672 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 5: I don't want a bunch of babies, didn't play with 673 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 5: a bunch of young guys, That's when I think the 674 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 5: Blazers got their antenna and ears up a little bit more, 675 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 5: because that was the first time that Dame ever really 676 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 5: expressed serious misgivings about, you know, potentially wanting to leave. 677 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 3: Speaking of playing with a bunch of young guys, everybody's 678 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 3: been talking about how much cast space of San Antonio 679 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: Spurs got. But the other team in Texas, the Houston Rockets, 680 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 3: they got a ton of young players and have made 681 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: some big time moves, maxing out Fred lan Vlie, giving 682 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks eighty over four years. They just got to 683 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 3: Jock Landale from Phoenix and trading got sign Patty Mills 684 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 3: with this is this two questions here, this getting adults 685 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 3: in the room kind of so to speak for Houston, 686 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 3: what kind of impact do you think that I have 687 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 3: on these young kids? And are we seeing some of 688 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: these numbers that feel to my eye a little inflated 689 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 3: as a result of the new CBA. 690 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 5: Well two things. Yeah, it is about bringing adults in 691 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 5: the room. Fred van Vliet's one of them. He made 692 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 5: a dooka the first year head coaches another. You know, 693 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 5: with the Rockets, you know they were seen as a 694 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 5: bunch of young players, but you know they kind of 695 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 5: didn't play as a team, they didn't have the right habits. 696 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 5: So yeah, that's the answer to your first question. The 697 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 5: second question, it's not necessarily a result of the CBA. 698 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 5: It's a result of just the revenue increasing and so 699 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 5: that's why the numbers go up. And look, players are 700 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 5: worth what teams offer them, So you know, obviously we 701 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 5: can't get reupt or wrapped around what I think from 702 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 5: the outside looks like monopoly money. But I think on 703 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 5: the on the other wrinkle with the CBA, what has 704 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 5: been the effect is that in the short term, because 705 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 5: there's more spending penalties for teams that are over the 706 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 5: luxury tax with that so called second apron That's why 707 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 5: you saw certain teams make cost cutting moves because they 708 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 5: want to be able to you know, final, you know, 709 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 5: have more tools at their disposal to be able to 710 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 5: round out the rest of their rosters. So a perfect 711 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 5: example with the Lakers, you know, they waived guys like 712 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 5: Mobamba and Shakille Harrison and that helps them get under 713 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 5: that apron so that they had a full tax payer 714 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 5: mid level exception around twelve and a half million that 715 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 5: they can use on a player like gave Vinson. So 716 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 5: in the short term at least, there were some teams 717 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 5: that are being a little bit more judicious with the spending. 718 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 5: But after that, the faleries are going to go up, 719 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 5: and especially with the new TV deal that expires after 720 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 5: twenty four to twenty five, it's going to even more. 721 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: I got one beef here, I got one beef. What's 722 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 2: the deal with the apron medana. You're in the know, 723 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 2: you I know, you're talking to people that make moves. 724 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: Why are we calling this thing an aprin? 725 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 4: An apron is something you put over your clothes affect 726 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: yourself from cooking. What are we talking? Okay, get a 727 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 4: what is that second apron? First apron? I don't like 728 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: it one bit. 729 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 5: I mean, you could do that, or you can read 730 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 5: the four hundred page CBA filled with legal jargon, like 731 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 5: I think, I think that's a way of find it. 732 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 4: Let's stick with the team. 733 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,959 Speaker 3: You know a lot of and you know a lot 734 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 3: about your running them alive. You just mentioned them, the 735 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 3: La Lakers. Uh, I've been impressed. I'm not gonna lie. 736 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 3: I'm a guy that bangs on them enough. And everybody 737 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: knows that butt Delo Rue Austin, they keep everybody there. 738 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 3: Polinka felt like dougas hills in and this is the 739 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 3: first time really in Lebron's career, especially in the last 740 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 3: what ten twelve years, where we know there were probably 741 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: moves he wanted to be done. We keep hearing about 742 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 3: Turner and Healed and they were gonna go after Chris 743 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 3: Paul and they've been talking Dame Lillard in this city 744 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 3: for the last three years. But it looked like, you know, 745 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 3: Jeannie and Polinka said, listen, we're going to run this back. 746 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 3: We're going to do it how we want to do it. 747 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 3: We need to set ourselves up from the future in 748 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: case Ad goes down. Are in case you Lebron leave 749 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 3: next year, if your son gets drafted somewhere else, do 750 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 3: you want to go play with him? What has just 751 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 3: been your thoughts of what the Lakers have done and 752 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 3: does this kind of set Rob Polinka par say, Hey, 753 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 3: I'm a real GM guy, I'm not just Kobe's former 754 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: agent and his best friend. 755 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 5: Well, look, I think Rob Polinka did earn his stripes 756 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 5: a little bit when he got Anthony Davis right, and 757 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 5: he got some good positional players. I know at the 758 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 5: beginning of that deal there was a feeling that even 759 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 5: though they they won the trade, they lost the negotiation 760 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 5: so to speak, because they gave up so many draft 761 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 5: picks and young players. But I think where he really 762 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 5: rectified his reputation, at least, you know among Laker fans 763 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 5: and Lebron James, is you know the trade deadline moves 764 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 5: this summer or this past season. Excuse me, And I 765 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 5: think you know, as far as whether you blame the 766 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 5: front office or you blame Lebron James or combination of both, 767 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 5: you're you're obviously going to get differ versions from both 768 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 5: parties on you know, who was more to blame with 769 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 5: the Russell Westbrooks fiasco. But I think as it pertains 770 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 5: the front office and the fact that they're the ones 771 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 5: that make the decisions or say no to decisions. I 772 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 5: think they learned their lessons of what happens when you 773 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 5: have a third player without the kind of continuity in 774 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 5: depth that they need around Lebron James and Anthony Davis. 775 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 5: And so they saw this past season. You know, there's 776 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 5: no star players. There were some good things, bad things, 777 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 5: some in between, with consistent inconsistency. But when you add 778 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 5: it all up, they were the first the best defensive 779 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 5: team in the league. They had the third best record 780 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 5: in the league, and they after being thirteenth in the 781 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 5: Western Conference, they got to the Western Conference Finals. So 782 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 5: the feeling was, let's build off of that, Let's keep 783 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 5: those players DeAngelo Austin really as long as the cap 784 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 5: numbers are good, and then let's find other ways to 785 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 5: improve on the march because we can build off of this. 786 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 5: And I know that there was some skepticism of the 787 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 5: idea of, oh, really, you're going to run it back 788 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 5: when you got swept to the Nuggets, but I think 789 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 5: the Lakers internally were also mindful of this. One the 790 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 5: Nuggets are a good team, but two, they partly got 791 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 5: swept because Lebron and ad were exhausted for just having 792 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 5: to play with Game seven intensity when they were on 793 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 5: the floor the second half of the season just to 794 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 5: make up ground. And then theoretically, even if they're a 795 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,479 Speaker 5: year older next season, they're also going to be more 796 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 5: recharged from the off season rest as well as having 797 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,799 Speaker 5: a better team around them, so they're not playing catch 798 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 5: up the second half of the season. So mission accomplished 799 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 5: was what they did in free agency, and now they 800 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 5: just have to prove it on the court. 801 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 3: And mission accomplished here with Mark Medena coming and giving 802 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 3: us all the NBA info, Mark, thank you for your 803 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 3: time and your information, my friend, Mark. 804 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 5: Appreciate you guys, and appreciate the music. 805 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 4: No doubt. Fourth of July. 806 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 3: All right, this team decided to run it back. Will 807 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 3: the seque will be more like the Empire strikes back? 808 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 4: Are too fast, too furious? That's next? Martin V Martin 809 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 4: and VJ. 810 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 2: Coming to your line from the tyrack dot Com Studios. 811 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,280 Speaker 2: DJ looks like Golden State said, hel you know, punches 812 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 2: be damned, We're bringing you back. Draymond four years, one 813 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars twenty five a year. Congratulations to him. 814 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what well I played against Draymond Green 815 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 2: the West Bluefield versus Sagon on High. I never would 816 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 2: have thought he would have signed multiple NBA contracts, But 817 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 2: here he is, Yeah, on his I think third now 818 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 2: fourth NBA contract. 819 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 3: Congratulations to him. Looks like the Warriors are bringing the 820 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 3: band back together. They have to. They don't have a choice. 821 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 3: This is the smart move by him, smart move by them. 822 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 3: They got pooled out of there. You had to clear 823 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 3: that out of there, regardless of whose fault it was 824 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,439 Speaker 3: and who did what. At that point that that don't 825 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,719 Speaker 3: even matter anymore. You gotta move forward, and Draymond is 826 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 3: part of this piece that wins championships there. I don't 827 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 3: think they can win without him. They couldn't do it 828 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,359 Speaker 3: without Clay and they couldn't do it without Steph. I mean, 829 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 3: unless you're replacing him with another top you know, seven 830 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,000 Speaker 3: or eight player overall in the league. So this is 831 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 3: a great deal for them. They're gonna try to run 832 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 3: it back. They're gonna ride this thing out, man, and 833 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 3: I agree with the deal. You know, four years, one 834 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 3: hundred million. There was a reason why he was smiling 835 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 3: at that golf tournament. A little golf event with Steph 836 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 3: and Kelsey and Mahomes and Clay is the reason why 837 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 3: he's out there having that much fun, even shutting off 838 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,360 Speaker 3: Charles laughing off Charles Barklay's comment of you should be 839 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 3: a lot nicer. You only have a job right now. 840 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 3: They say you need to be nicer. You only have 841 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 3: a job right now. 842 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 4: So about Charles Barkles saying that he'll have a job 843 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 4: at seeing Tee the moment Raymond. 844 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 3: The moment it's over. That's why he was out there 845 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 3: getting working. Trust me, he was getting paid to be 846 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 3: out there. He wasn't there just to be there. They 847 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 3: were definitely paying him to be there. But I like 848 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 3: the move man. I want to see go to State, 849 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 3: ride this thing and finish this thing out. That's been 850 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 3: refreshing to see this in the era of super teams. 851 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 3: And let's go here, let's go here, let's join here, 852 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 3: let's join up there where these three guys so like 853 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 3: now we all came in, we started this together, We're 854 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 3: gonna finish this, finish this together. 855 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 4: I like the move man. 856 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,200 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, at this point, it's similar to 857 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 3: the Dame thing, except they've won. 858 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 4: They've won a ton of titles. I kind of disagree. 859 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 3: I feel like if if you look at the way 860 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 3: the Warriors have won their last their last few playoff series, 861 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 3: going back to the title, there's a lot of Steph 862 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 3: and I think Draymond was impactful, but I don't Clay. 863 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 3: I think was has been a shell of himself, which 864 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 3: is not a knock. He's been hurt, I mean, come 865 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 3: back from injury. The idea that he's still playing at 866 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 3: a high level is one that not mostly people would 867 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 3: be doing. 868 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 4: Right. 869 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 3: But I think you got to look at and I'm 870 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,720 Speaker 3: not sure what would have came back on the open 871 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 3: market for we look at you know, these players moving 872 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,960 Speaker 3: and who knows in a sign and trade. But I 873 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 3: think if you look, if you're Golden State, it's about 874 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 3: Steph Curry and that's it. To me, it's Steph Curry 875 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 3: and that's that. Like Steph Curry and four rebounders, not no, no, 876 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 3: you gotta have more than that. But hell, they got 877 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 3: through the first round with Steph Curry and Cavon Looney 878 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 3: and Clay and Draymond not doing you know, a whole 879 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 3: hell of a lot of much Wellon Louis might have 880 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 3: been their second best player. 881 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 4: I don't think there's a question. 882 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy was grabbing with twenty rebounds, twenty four rebounds, 883 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 3: twenty three rebounds. What's gonna be interesting with the Warriors. 884 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 3: I know they have Chris Paul and I've already spoken 885 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 3: at how I like that move. I am interested to 886 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 3: see how they feel the rest of this roster out. 887 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,880 Speaker 3: And there's still some free agent names that are available, 888 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 3: Like the one guy that I keep just pointing to 889 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,640 Speaker 3: is Plumbly, a guy like Plumbley and Brooks. Neither one 890 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 3: of those guys have been resigned as far as I 891 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 3: can see, as far as come across a news wire 892 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 3: or anything. Yet they need size. The Warriors have got 893 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 3: to have back up size. Are they gonna get killed 894 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 3: against a bigger team like the Lakers killed them when 895 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 3: there were times Anthony Davis just couldn't be boxed out. 896 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 3: He can get any rebound, or when he got in 897 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 3: the post, he can score at will. They gotta add size, 898 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,319 Speaker 3: and I'm just interested to see how they feel this 899 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 3: out before I think of what they're there, how far 900 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,280 Speaker 3: they can go next year? Well, every team with aims 901 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 3: of going far and needs size. Because I got news 902 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 3: for you and be It'll be there, y'all, Kich, you'll 903 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 3: be there. 904 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 4: Anthony Davis still be there. 905 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 3: So you're gonna need people to go ahead and bump, 906 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,719 Speaker 3: as they say, surprise to see Jock Landale a lot 907 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 3: of Phoenix. I'm surprised that Phoenix w wasn't able to 908 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,919 Speaker 3: get that done. I would have thought that that, you know, 909 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 3: not that he's a starting guy, but I would have 910 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 3: thought that he is somebody that. I mean, he acquitted 911 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 3: himself very well against Jokis in the playoffs for as 912 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,760 Speaker 3: far as somebody can do so right for a backup, 913 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: rotational type of player. 914 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 4: Thought he did well. 915 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 2: But this player just signed a major deal in the 916 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 2: first day of free agency, and to me, it's the 917 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 2: biggest shock out. Martin VJ geting the next Fox Sports Radio. 918 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,399 Speaker 2: That's right, Martin VJ broadcast in live from the ti 919 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,439 Speaker 2: rack dot com studios tire iraq dot com.

It's the way tire buying 923 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 2: should be. 924 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:46,959 Speaker 4: VJ. 925 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 3: This is a topic of conversation throughout h throughout NBA 926 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 3: Free Agency or the week's leading up to it. It 927 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 3: was Kyrie Irving who was meeting with the Phoenix Suns, 928 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 3: and he was meeting here, and he was meeting there, 929 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 3: and it was all this, like, you know, they're meeting, 930 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 3: but like, to what end? How is he gonna go 931 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 3: to Phoenix under anything? With the VET minimum exception? And 932 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 3: part of it is it's Kyrie Irving. 933 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 4: So you got to keep all options open, even those 934 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 4: that don't make any sense whatsoever, because who who knows. 935 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 2: What's coming down the pipe. Well, the Dallas Mavericks signed 936 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 2: up for that for the next three years one hundred 937 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,280 Speaker 2: and twenty six million dollars with a third year player option, 938 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 2: so basically two years if everything goes perfect, three years 939 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 2: if it's a disaster. 940 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, because he's gonna opt into that last year 941 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 4: exactly with Kyrie I, I you know, I like the move. 942 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,400 Speaker 3: He didn't end up maxing him, which you know, I 943 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 3: was thinking that would kind of would be what it 944 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 3: would be. But you're not really in a great position 945 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 3: to leverage if you're Dallas. But again, I would have 946 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 3: liked to do it for two years and a team option, 947 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 3: so that way I could have it for you know, 948 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,799 Speaker 3: one year if it goes great, two years, if it 949 00:41:58,840 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 3: goes toast time. 950 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 4: I don't know. 951 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 2: Again the whole point of this, I don't know how 952 00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,399 Speaker 2: much of a market there was out there for him. 953 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 2: But again it's kind of like similar with the Dame thing. 954 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 2: And I think that the number one sterling example of 955 00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 2: this and is with Kobe Bryant his last year is 956 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 2: with the Lakers. Sometimes you make moves that may not 957 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 2: necessarily be the strongest business financial sense move, but you 958 00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 2: do it because it sends a message to how your 959 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 2: organization runs, how you run your team, what you value. 960 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 4: When Kyrie and you trade all of that for Kyrie, 961 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, You move on. You gotta 962 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 4: you gotta keep you gotta keep it, you gotta keep it, right, 963 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. But you gotta keep it, 964 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 4: and you gotta keep them at a number. Right. Sure 965 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,279 Speaker 4: you want to play hardball with him, Okay, yeah, we'll 966 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 4: give you a mid level exception or whatever, right because 967 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 4: there's not the because I don't think and it seems 968 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 4: to be that there wasn't much of a market out there. 969 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 4: But still I'm gonna I want to pay you something 970 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 4: that's commensurate to what you do when you're on the court. 971 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 4: Hopefully you'll be on the court. I imagine if the 972 00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 4: calculus the Dallas Mavericks are making. 973 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 3: I thought he would be there and that they would 974 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 3: be there last week, and I said that if I 975 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 3: was Kyrie, I just think maybe it's time that you 976 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 3: kind of humble yourself down to and meet the team halfway. 977 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 3: You're not gonna get the two to ten, you're not 978 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 3: gonna get the two hundred, you're not gonna even get 979 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 3: the one eighty. But if you can't live off of 980 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 3: another one twenty, my exact quote was just say, hey, okay, 981 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 3: can we do a deal for like one twenty to 982 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 3: one thirty boom three years? He signs for one twenty six, 983 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 3: And I think that's what Dallas is like, Hey, you 984 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 3: know what, Okay, we'll do that Dale. 985 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 4: They got to spend the money. These teams print money, guys. 986 00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 4: It's not. 987 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 3: When I look at this Dallas team with Kyrie that 988 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 3: you're gonna be better with him than without them. And 989 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 3: I just think at this point you would much rather 990 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 3: have him and the whole offseason with Luca and with 991 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 3: Hardaway junior and with and with Reggie Bullock and some 992 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 3: of the other pieces that they have there, and Jason Kidd. 993 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 3: Maybe maybe Jason Kidd could be the quarterback you know, 994 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,360 Speaker 3: per Se Whisper that you've been looking for for Kyrie. 995 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 3: A guy that's won a championship, a guy that's you know, 996 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 3: up there the top ten and assists and and stills, 997 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 3: a guy that has always been a leader. Maybe he 998 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 3: could be the guy to kind of plug into Kyrie 999 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,399 Speaker 3: and get Kyrie to plug in the way people want 1000 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 3: him to. Doesn't bother me as much as it bothers 1001 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 3: other people, as you guys have. 1002 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 4: Heard here on Martin VJ. 1003 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 3: For like the last nine ten months, we've talked about 1004 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 3: Kyrie in different facets, But I like to move for 1005 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,280 Speaker 3: both parties. I think you get the deal done immediately. 1006 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 3: You know what's funny about on the teams you name it. 1007 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,279 Speaker 3: When I saw that come across my phone, I saw 1008 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,840 Speaker 3: six teams. I said, there's no way in hell he's 1009 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,080 Speaker 3: meeting all these teams. He's not going to meet all 1010 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 3: these teams. He's either going stand in Dallas or you know, 1011 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,839 Speaker 3: I had no idea where he's going after that, because 1012 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 3: even the Lakers where people like, oh, they can offer 1013 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,359 Speaker 3: him the mid level or the veterans men. I'm like, bro, 1014 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 3: he wants his money. I don't know why y'all think 1015 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 3: for some reason he'll take, you know, a lobo offer 1016 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 3: to go play. The reason why people will say that 1017 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 3: is because you look at the amount of money he's 1018 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,239 Speaker 3: left on the floor in the last three years. 1019 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 4: It's pretty significant. Yeah yeah, but with this deal, he 1020 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,839 Speaker 4: won't go to do it. On this deal, You're right 1021 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 4: about that. He's left some. 1022 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 3: Significant that amount of money, But it's not out of 1023 00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 3: the question that Kyrie said, you know what, I'll sacrifice 1024 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 3: X amount of millions of dollars or whatever. 1025 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 4: I feel like I want to do this money. 1026 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,440 Speaker 3: When you're talking this money, man, we were just talking 1027 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 3: about Bruce Brown during the break right like two years. 1028 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 4: The team surprised me. I told both, the team surprised 1029 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 4: me when I heard it. Not the deal. You gotta ring, 1030 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 4: go get your money. 1031 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 3: Now he's making twenty plus million over the next two years, 1032 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 3: and he'll be a free agent again in two seasons. 1033 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,720 Speaker 3: He'll be able to go get another deal. Well, that money, 1034 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 3: that money rings loud, man. This is kind of like 1035 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 3: the thing about NBA contracts, you gotta really pay attention 1036 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 3: to the last year and who's got the option. Right 1037 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 3: In the NFL, you gotta pay attention to the guaranteed 1038 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 3: number team. 1039 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 4: The second number is the real number. Like there are 1040 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 4: cars four years on and fifty Now, no, it's really 1041 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 4: two years and one hundred million. You know what I'm saying. 1042 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,840 Speaker 2: When you really break it down, and if it goes well, 1043 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,799 Speaker 2: then they could get extended a little bit further. 1044 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 4: With Bruce be guaranteed as one hundred million. 1045 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, but with Bruce Brown it's that team option on 1046 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 3: the second end, I imagine I would I think that 1047 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,240 Speaker 3: Bruce Brown would be a pacer for about twelve months. 1048 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:57,839 Speaker 4: Oh wow, so you think he'll be a free agent 1049 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,879 Speaker 4: They won't pick it up the following year free agent 1050 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 4: signing trade somewhere because he's I mean, every every team 1051 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 4: in the league can use a Bruce Brown. Oh, every 1052 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,879 Speaker 4: team in the league can use that player. Like there's 1053 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 4: a few different other guys who are like him and fits. 1054 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 4: But to me, the role is primarily the Bruce Brown 1055 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 4: role and the Nets before that, because even though the 1056 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 4: Nets didn't have the team's success, it was very evident 1057 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 4: that Bruce Brown was gonna be out there getting rebounds, 1058 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,800 Speaker 4: making the right pass, advancing the ball, hitting open shots. 1059 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 4: Went open because he's gonna be open because he's the 1060 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,359 Speaker 4: fifth or sixth option here. But when he's there, he's 1061 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 4: a staring his role. Right. 1062 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, at twenty million dollars a year, you put him 1063 00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: next to Tyres Halliburton, who's who is coming into his 1064 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 2: own after being traded for Sacramentos Miles turning there. 1065 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 4: That's something you can feel also to the things you 1066 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 4: can feel good about in Indiana. Is it something that 1067 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 4: you're really gonna say, is like gonna be the future? 1068 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 4: But no, Bruce Brown. It's the way every other team 1069 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,280 Speaker 4: can use him. He's a floor raizer. 1070 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 3: You get him for the price that nobody else was 1071 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,399 Speaker 3: gonna pay for him, and then in a year, when 1072 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 3: you have established a different level of culture, you can 1073 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,360 Speaker 3: trade you can move off of Bruce Brown to a 1074 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 3: team that a winner, right, because he the guy who 1075 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 3: played the role before. Bruce Brown was like PJ. Tucker, Right, 1076 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,360 Speaker 3: he's older now, but he's like the guy he's like, 1077 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 3: how does this guy continue? Only he's always on the playoff. 1078 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,280 Speaker 3: He's always in a playoff. 1079 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 4: Why Because he does the things that you need in 1080 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,319 Speaker 4: playoff runs to keep your team alive. Right, So I 1081 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,400 Speaker 4: think so that, But good good job on him, because 1082 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 4: I don't First of all, I know, I know what 1083 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 4: Mark Retinez said. I don't give a damn. Then you're 1084 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 4: not telling me Bruce Brown signed for forty six million 1085 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 4: dollars of two years without the new CBA, right, without 1086 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,200 Speaker 4: the without the penalties for paying or for hitting the 1087 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,560 Speaker 4: salary floor. Right, That's that's that's a reality. It's the 1088 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 4: same thing with the Houston. Right, You're looking at Dylan 1089 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 4: Brooks twenty million dollars a year, like you could have 1090 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 4: really probably saved a little bit on that the guy has. 1091 00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,919 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that no market, but it was ready 1092 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,839 Speaker 4: active at minimum, you know what I'm saying. It's gonna 1093 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 4: say money on that. 1094 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 3: And this Houston thing was in the works for weeks. Yeah, 1095 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 3: they they him and Van Fleet. I do did those 1096 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 3: two guys? This was this was kind of wink wink 1097 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 3: before you know, Hey, guys, look, we want you here, 1098 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:15,440 Speaker 3: you know, you know. 1099 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 4: But the fact of the matter is, if you gotta 1100 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 4: spend this money, you might as well have targets, right, 1101 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:21,800 Speaker 4: You might as well have targets across the league of 1102 00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 4: where you really like guys. And then if I'm Bruce Brown, 1103 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 4: I see the landscapes a year from now, I'm gonna 1104 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 4: go to go to Indy make what probably I think 1105 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 4: double the money I made last season, you know, saying 1106 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,399 Speaker 4: it's a boom twenty million even offered them this year 1107 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 4: and then boom, let's see maybe trade And there's six 1108 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 4: months after you get signed to be traded. 1109 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 3: So I don't know if it's this trade deadline or 1110 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 3: next off season or the trade deadline of his second 1111 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,080 Speaker 3: year where it's like, hey, now I can come in 1112 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 3: and be an Aaron Gordon type piece where they move 1113 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 3: to they move into the Nuggets and traded to Like 1114 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:58,600 Speaker 3: you think the Lakers. 1115 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 4: Don't want Bruce Brown, you know what I'm saying, yours 1116 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 4: where they had a meeting set up Boston Bruce Brown, 1117 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like the Bucks.

That's what I think. 1138 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:05,439 Speaker 4: I think. 1139 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 3: I think two conference finals are at least a conference 1140 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 3: finals and a finals appearance. 1141 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 4: Well the thing first and second round is not gonna 1142 00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 4: get it done. We saw Luca walk. 1143 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,399 Speaker 3: Through the Clippers all the way to his conference final, 1144 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 3: like he's Luca's been there he's been there already. 1145 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 4: He's been there already with Jalen Brunton as as as 1146 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:22,400 Speaker 4: as as Robin. 1147 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, And Jalen Brunston is a 1148 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 3: hell of a player. I'm not trying to downplay that. 1149 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 6: I think after last year they could just make the playoffs. 1150 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,520 Speaker 6: Have to start there. 1151 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 2: But to the point of what makes this a good deal? 1152 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 2: You had a team that was the fifth seed, fourth 1153 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,919 Speaker 2: fifth seed, they traded for Kyrie and decide to bring 1154 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 2: him back. 1155 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,359 Speaker 4: Because if you to that point, look, you could just go, right, 1156 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 4: we were the fifth seed without you. Yeah, we get 1157 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 4: we traded like Dorian and Finnie Smith and the like, 1158 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,399 Speaker 4: but we can find some rotation players, right, you could 1159 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 4: just go if they're gonna make this move back, I 1160 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 4: think making the playoffs that should be a game. 1161 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 3: They got to be fourth seed or higher and they've 1162 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 3: got to get to the conference final. First and second 1163 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 3: rounds not gonna do it. No one's gonna look at 1164 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 3: if they get eliminated in five and round two next year, 1165 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 3: no one's gonna come on the airwaves of going team 1166 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 3: and go, you know what, yeah, this is better because they. 1167 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,719 Speaker 4: Didn't even make the playoffs. Last year. That's not gonna 1168 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 4: be an area. 1169 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,239 Speaker 6: Yeah, and if it doesn't go well, you're gonna start 1170 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 6: hearing well does Luca went out? 1171 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 4: Of course? 1172 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 3: Well, remember you guys called me. Now, remember you guys 1173 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 3: say them out of my mind. When we're over the 1174 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:24,280 Speaker 3: old studio about six seven months ago, where I said 1175 00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 3: I talk about moving Luca, my man sitting right here 1176 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:29,399 Speaker 3: to the right says the most ridiculous thing he's ever 1177 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 3: heard me say. 1178 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,400 Speaker 4: I still agree. That's fine though, if it hold up. 1179 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,399 Speaker 3: But if it's starting, but if this comes up next year, 1180 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,560 Speaker 3: if this starts to happen, if he starts to chirp it, 1181 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, that's why you should have moved the 1182 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 3: guy you're not. 1183 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,560 Speaker 4: A year later, he's asking out no, which you should 1184 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:42,120 Speaker 4: not have done. 1185 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,680 Speaker 3: You should not have traded for the tornado that is 1186 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 3: Kyrie Irving and every place he liveds it turns into 1187 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 3: a disaster. But now that you're here, right now, that 1188 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 3: you have the tornado has land, you went from home 1189 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 3: court advantage in the playoffs to not making the play 1190 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,000 Speaker 3: in the tornado's here. Now it's time to call female relief. 1191 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,960 Speaker 3: All right, let's get the trailers in Hunt three years, 1192 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 3: one hundred twenty six million dollars and let's see if 1193 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 3: we can rebuild to your point, bo Like, Yeah, you 1194 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,920 Speaker 3: took a team that was a Western Conference final contender 1195 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:15,480 Speaker 3: last year. Right is a year prior, let Jayalen Brunton 1196 00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 3: walk and he traded for Kyrie. Two disastrous moves. 1197 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:23,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, right in a vacuum at this point here, this 1198 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:24,839 Speaker 4: is where we're at, and you can actually go back 1199 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 4: to the Draylen Brunson mof you talk about. 1200 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,880 Speaker 3: No, the problem is you traded for Kyrie. No, the 1201 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 3: problem is you didn't even offer Jalen Brunson. There's where 1202 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,720 Speaker 3: the problem starts. You had to trade for Kyrie because 1203 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 3: you didn't. 1204 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 4: Retain well, first of all, you didn't have to trade 1205 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 4: for you absolutely didn't. You did not. You had left 1206 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 4: them there, do something. You could have left them there, 1207 00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:47,879 Speaker 4: Brooklyn miserable just like they were. 1208 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 6: Would you rather have Kyrie on the three year, one 1209 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 6: hundred and twenty six million dollar deal or D'Angelo Russell 1210 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 6: on the two year, thirty seven million dollars deal that he. 1211 00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 4: Got right now? Yeah, Kyrie, Kyrie, really he's a much 1212 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 4: better player. He's a better player. That's it. That's it. 1213 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,640 Speaker 4: That's really Yeah, that's it. Angelo Russell. Look, I know 1214 00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,799 Speaker 4: he's going to be on the bench. I know he'll 1215 00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 4: have his cocoa water. If he gets in his post game, 1216 00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 4: I know he'll be there, Like you know what I'm saying. 1217 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 3: But if Kyrie is actually there in attendance, you know 1218 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like. 1219 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:22,000 Speaker 6: Kyrie, given the track record that Kyrie has, I don't 1220 00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,560 Speaker 6: know if you can count on him to be there 1221 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 6: for that. And at that point, like the Delo contract 1222 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,479 Speaker 6: is very tradable, the Kyrie contract isn't. Yeah, no one's 1223 00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,319 Speaker 6: going to trade for that deal. 1224 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,840 Speaker 4: What is your gut? What does your gut tell you? 1225 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 4: What is your both of you either, what is your 1226 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 4: gut tell you? This? Where this ends up? With the maps? 1227 00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 4: The deal is here. We probably wanted to work, Like 1228 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 4: do you do? You do you hope it works out 1229 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:40,920 Speaker 4: for him? 1230 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 3: Or you don't care? I mean I don't care. I'm 1231 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,320 Speaker 3: not trying to be like a saw. I'm not sulky, 1232 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,319 Speaker 3: but like, I'm not invested in but I would like to. 1233 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 4: See it work out. 1234 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,080 Speaker 6: It'd be nice if it did, It would be nice work. 1235 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,720 Speaker 4: But what is your gut tell you? My gut tells 1236 00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 4: the part. 1237 00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,280 Speaker 2: My gut tells me that this is a bottom half 1238 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,400 Speaker 2: of the top the bottom half of the Western Conference 1239 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,960 Speaker 2: playoffs five five to six to seven, flirting with. 1240 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,319 Speaker 4: The playing unless they made it first second round. Yeah, 1241 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,560 Speaker 4: but with the with the ability to make noise. Because 1242 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 4: again you got two guys in Kyrie and Luke. 1243 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,600 Speaker 3: I mean, Kyrie all his shortcomings, and you gotta adjust 1244 00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:16,319 Speaker 3: it for games play. 1245 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 4: But let the NBA in fourth quarter scoring. Yeah, you 1246 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,080 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like now, if you just gave 1247 00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 4: played Gonta qualified, but if you, if you, if you 1248 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 4: squitch your eyes at the standings, you can see it right. 1249 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,320 Speaker 4: And then Luca, of course has been incredible. 1250 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 3: That the biggest thing for me really, Luca's got to 1251 00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,279 Speaker 3: come in in shape and demands ready. He's got to 1252 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 3: come in and we all talk, but they don't know 1253 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,320 Speaker 3: they talk. It's a common thing. Luca Lebron is whatever, 1254 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 3: he dominates the game. Let's all right, let's actually see it. 1255 00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 3: It's actually got to happen. He's got to come in 1256 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,400 Speaker 3: and shape. Hohoka, doncics. All that's fun. But like you know, 1257 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,839 Speaker 3: drink your some spring water and run some miles before 1258 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 3: you start this season. 1259 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,000 Speaker 4: All right, please yeah, lead of white Potatoes along Martin. 1260 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,720 Speaker 4: Martin and VJ is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. 1261 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 2: Progressive makes bundling easy and affordable at a multipolity disc 1262 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:04,120 Speaker 2: on by combining motorcycle, RV, boat, ATV and more, all 1263 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 2: protection at one place.

We'll get to 1267 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:13,320 Speaker 4: that next. 1268 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,760 Speaker 2: Martin and VJ coming to you live from the Tyreck 1269 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 2: dot Com Studios. NBA free agency been moving fast and furious. 1270 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 2: You know, it's what it started just a few hours ago, 1271 00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,359 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you know, it's crazy how 1272 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 2: many just. 1273 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,440 Speaker 3: Deals made, deals made, deals made. None of this was 1274 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 3: discussed prior, of course, VJ. As I'm sure that you know, 1275 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:37,279 Speaker 3: but uh, you got to pull different teams making some 1276 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:40,920 Speaker 3: big time moves. Everybody's talking about the San Antonio Spurs. 1277 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,719 Speaker 4: Have all this cap space. Well, the Houston Rockets have 1278 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 4: been the team making all the moves right there. You know. 1279 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,760 Speaker 3: The Los Angeles Lakers made a lot of big moves 1280 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 3: this year. 1281 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 4: But VJ, which was this summer I should say with VJ, 1282 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 4: which team do you think had the best free agency 1283 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 4: so far? And obviously it's an incomplete grade. 1284 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,040 Speaker 3: I think it's the Memphis Grizzly. I like what Memphis 1285 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 3: has done by bringing in Derek Rose. I like what 1286 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,759 Speaker 3: they've done by bringing in uh Marcus Smart. It kind 1287 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,720 Speaker 3: of puts Jah around some more mature, older guys maybe 1288 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 3: to help him. You need somebody to be able to 1289 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 3: study the point guard position. And now you have a 1290 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,399 Speaker 3: backup being at tyas Jones got traded to Washington, so 1291 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 3: he's off and gone. And now you look at this 1292 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,320 Speaker 3: team and you go, Okay, now we got some adults 1293 00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 3: in the room that can probably help, but they can 1294 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,839 Speaker 3: also produce on the court. They can help these young 1295 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 3: guys out. And then of course they loaded up Desmond Pain. 1296 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,920 Speaker 3: They went ahead and just gave him his max extension. 1297 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 4: That was Pain. Yeah, it was no brainer, but it 1298 00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 4: was still the just it's still the right move to do. 1299 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 4: I'm people pushing back and I'm like dude from he 1300 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 4: was from three. 1301 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,400 Speaker 2: He's a good defender, he's a second a decent secondary 1302 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 2: ball handler. 1303 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,120 Speaker 4: He could use them helping the playmaking department. 1304 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,560 Speaker 3: But I mean in terms of a playoff win, what 1305 00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 3: are you looking for exactly? So I thought I thought 1306 00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 3: they I thought they were my way. It was either 1307 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 3: them or the Rocket. It's but I leaned. I leaned 1308 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,640 Speaker 3: over to Memphis because I think they're ready. They're more 1309 00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,759 Speaker 3: ready to go further and possibly try to contend for 1310 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 3: a championship than the Rockers are. So I say, the 1311 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,439 Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies on my winner so far. 1312 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't mind that. I don't mind that. 1313 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,759 Speaker 3: I think trading might like trading for Marcus Smart, I 1314 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 3: think was a big deal. I understand why Boston was 1315 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:23,240 Speaker 3: ready to move on especially yeah, because I mean you 1316 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 3: got a lot of I mean their guard heavy between 1317 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 3: Brogden White, you want Tatum to have the ball out 1318 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,240 Speaker 3: in his hands, you know, and then Peyton Pritchard. It 1319 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 3: seems to be a favorite of the coaching staff because 1320 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 3: he seems to be coming up off the bench all 1321 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:38,040 Speaker 3: the time. 1322 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 4: And I think, if you're gonna if you are going to. 1323 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 3: Be following Joe Mozoula's strategy, you know wants three pointers. 1324 00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 4: It's all about offense. It's all about offense, All about offense. 1325 00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:52,560 Speaker 2: Marcus Smart offensively wasn't there and in the same way 1326 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 2: that these other guards are. 1327 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 4: So if you're gonna lean in the Joe Mark just 1328 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 4: had the gout, I'm about to say, yeah, I could 1329 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,320 Speaker 4: tell that was right off the top of your head. 1330 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 4: That's good if you want to lead in the Joe 1331 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 4: Marcus had to go. That was a good one. Yeah, 1332 00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,720 Speaker 4: I still believe it or not. Was not grinding last 1333 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 4: night thinking how I'm gonna come up with. 1334 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 3: No, I said, I thought that I came off on 1335 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 3: the top of your head. Just now, that's why. Yeah, 1336 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:13,920 Speaker 3: that's why. 1337 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I said. I liked it. 1338 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,960 Speaker 3: But I still I'm sorry, man, I just until this 1339 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 3: is one of these things. And you guys know how 1340 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,960 Speaker 3: stubborn that can be with some of my opinions. I know, 1341 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,320 Speaker 3: yes some come on, man, don't do me like that. Bro, 1342 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 3: we we're a team that's that's light skin on, light 1343 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 3: skin crime. You're trying to pull right there, Man, come 1344 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,600 Speaker 3: we don't do that. But until I'm proven wrong, I 1345 00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,520 Speaker 3: just do not like them getting rid of the heart 1346 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,000 Speaker 3: and soul and the you start to hear the stories 1347 00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 3: of how he helped really control the locker room, the 1348 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 3: message between head coaches and players, the vibe the feeld. 1349 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 4: That stuff matters. 1350 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 3: And when you take it away and you and I 1351 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 3: talked about this, who's the leader of the team, they 1352 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,000 Speaker 3: call coach Joe. Just like this, I don't want to 1353 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 3: step on people's you know, toes around here walking on 1354 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 3: egg shows. 1355 00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 4: Let's all be kind of cool. 1356 00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 3: And Marcus Smart, I thought, was just that guy that 1357 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 3: it's just like, this is what we're gonna do. Think 1358 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,080 Speaker 3: to you, I think you're saying that both sides of 1359 00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 3: the point there. You say, Marcus Martin. 1360 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,760 Speaker 4: Is the is the loud, strong voice in the locker room, 1361 00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 4: right and the liaison between the coach and the players, 1362 00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:18,320 Speaker 4: especially when well, what did we see this? What do 1363 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 4: we see this year? 1364 00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 3: Cause it just seems that there was never a of 1365 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 3: all the different iterations of Boston head coach that we've 1366 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 3: seen with this group. 1367 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 4: This is the furthest split, it seemed. This is the 1368 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 4: furthest that it did seemed to be in terms of 1369 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,120 Speaker 4: different So I was like, all right, if your main 1370 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 4: goal here is communicator translator, well there's a lot that 1371 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 4: seems to be getting lost in translation. 1372 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not gonna put that on markeuts Smart. 1373 00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,440 Speaker 3: I'm gonna put that I'm gonna put that. 1374 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:47,760 Speaker 2: But if that's what his utility is on it, if 1375 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:49,480 Speaker 2: that's what you're telling me his utility is and it's 1376 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:50,920 Speaker 2: not getting done, then. 1377 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:51,920 Speaker 4: All right, somebody's gotta go. 1378 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 3: And and that's not to say that it wasn't getting done. 1379 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 3: What I thought happened with Boston, especially with their coach, 1380 00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 3: is the fact that the man got thrust it into 1381 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 3: the position they didn't even really have. There was really 1382 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,360 Speaker 3: no time for him to really set his tone. You 1383 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 3: don't do that like in the season. That happens in 1384 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:12,120 Speaker 3: the offseason, happens previous seasons. You don't set that tone, 1385 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 3: especially with a new coach as the season goes on. 1386 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 3: It's just like when they say your game doesn't improve 1387 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 3: during the year, your game improves in the off season. 1388 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,000 Speaker 3: When you're working, you can't work on your game. And 1389 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 3: when you're playing, you're already playing, you're already out there. 1390 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,600 Speaker 3: You're gonna resort back, resort back to like what you 1391 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 3: know best in your move best anyway in the game, 1392 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 3: especially when the clutch comes up where things get a 1393 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 3: little tight. 1394 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,560 Speaker 4: Just as human beings, we resort back to our pattern. 1395 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 3: That's why smart people say, hey, change your pattern in 1396 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 3: the life because when things go down, you're gonna resort 1397 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,400 Speaker 3: back to your normal natural pattern. So you gotta have 1398 01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 3: different patterns and new patterns. But I just don't think 1399 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 3: taking that out of the locker room and adding a 1400 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,600 Speaker 3: guy like Portzingis is gonna be the answer for them. 1401 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,680 Speaker 3: And like I said, until I'm proven wrong, I'll stick 1402 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 3: with that, just saying both sides because you want to 1403 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 3: go again. They were going back to what they had 1404 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:57,439 Speaker 3: been done. 1405 01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,520 Speaker 2: They had going back to what why aren't we playing 1406 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:00,920 Speaker 2: Robertilliams and out hord. 1407 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:02,840 Speaker 4: For it at the same time because Joe doesn't want 1408 01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 4: to do it. If look, this is what you're gonna do, 1409 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,680 Speaker 4: If Joe's gonna be the star this show, this is 1410 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,200 Speaker 4: the way it's gotta be. Well, I just like, if 1411 01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,440 Speaker 4: you want, if you want to Michael Jordan on the 1412 01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,200 Speaker 4: Dream Team, Isaiah Thomas can't come, that's the way it's 1413 01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 4: gotta be like that. If that's if you and I 1414 01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 4: you want Isaiah on the Dream Team, all right, we'll 1415 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 4: get on get rid of according to Mike and Sadi, 1416 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,320 Speaker 4: and that's not true, right all right, but yeah, but 1417 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 4: we know what's going on. I'm just saying you know, 1418 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 4: you know, this just is very simple. Who's your winner? 1419 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 4: Who was my winner? Who'd you have as a winner? 1420 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 4: Would you like? Would you like? I like what Houston did. Yeah, see, 1421 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 4: we're right there. 1422 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,760 Speaker 2: I like what Houston did if nothing else, because I 1423 01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 2: don't care how they did for Steven Silas. I thought 1424 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,120 Speaker 2: he that was that was wrong, and they didn't give 1425 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 2: him a shot to win. And then as soon as 1426 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 2: they start investing in a chance to win, you know, 1427 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 2: they move on to Nick Nurse, which, you know whatever, 1428 01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 2: I'm sorry not Nick Nurse, they move on to Email. 1429 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,640 Speaker 3: U dooka god at.

He's interested. 1535 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,600 Speaker 3: I'm glad we got you here now, I said, I 1536 01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,320 Speaker 3: think the Houston Rockets will have a better record than 1537 01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 3: the San Antonio Spurs this season. Ay, but again, if 1538 01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 3: a free agency, I don't know what they're gonna be 1539 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:03,920 Speaker 3: doing going forward. 1540 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 4: I don't even know who's available. I don't know who 1541 01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:10,200 Speaker 4: could get traded for. But it ain't to stand add. 1542 01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:14,920 Speaker 3: Though a thirty five Eastern Standard time on July first, 1543 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 3: I think the Rockets will win more games this season 1544 01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 3: than the Spurs. And the reason why he said that 1545 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen in America is because we just heard 1546 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 3: the great Steve the Steger tell us that the Rockets 1547 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:26,280 Speaker 3: are close. 1548 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,000 Speaker 4: To finalizing finalized. 1549 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 3: On the deal for Paddy Mills, a great off the bench, 1550 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,920 Speaker 3: veteran grown man, adult in the room, point guard that 1551 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,400 Speaker 3: can score, gritty, could play defense, get steals down with flight. 1552 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:42,280 Speaker 3: What Yudoku is building, wh is building in Houston. I'm like, 1553 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:45,000 Speaker 3: hold on, I looked through Martin. I said, hey, man. 1554 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 4: Houston could take a leap here. 1555 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,640 Speaker 3: Not not you know, fifth fourth see, nothing like that, 1556 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 3: but playing it's a lot better than the twenty something 1557 01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:53,680 Speaker 3: wins they had this past year. 1558 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:54,880 Speaker 4: That's a that would be a. 1559 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,520 Speaker 3: Leap for him to come in in year one and 1560 01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,080 Speaker 3: take that team and have them a nine fighting for 1561 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,480 Speaker 3: playing coming down to stretch in April. 1562 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 4: That's a great. 1563 01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 3: Leap because you know the next year are gonna be 1564 01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 3: better because he's shown that that type of track record. 1565 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,480 Speaker 3: Mark turned to me, he goes, yeah, I think Houston's 1566 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,200 Speaker 3: gonna have a better record than the San Antonio Spurs. 1567 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,679 Speaker 4: And I didn't even look like okay, sitting here in July, 1568 01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,639 Speaker 4: first I like that opinion. I like all this and completely. 1569 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,760 Speaker 3: I think the Phoenix Suns has six players on their 1570 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,799 Speaker 3: roster right now. Okay, but that's Phoenix, but it's the NBA. 1571 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 3: That's the point, the rosters not finalized. I thought it 1572 01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,439 Speaker 3: was a good opinion. I'm saying, saying, with your chest, 1573 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,639 Speaker 3: you want to let these marinate. Sometimes you just gotta 1574 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,439 Speaker 3: throw it out there. Man, if you're wrong, that's just 1575 01:08:35,560 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 3: so fun about this. If you're If it don't come true, 1576 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,840 Speaker 3: it's like, okay, cool guy, you can always go dude. 1577 01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 3: I said it back on July first. Okay, yeah he did. 1578 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 3: He said that long time ago. But it was cute. 1579 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:47,599 Speaker 3: It was a cute to just throw it out there, bro, 1580 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 3: and listen a right man, say with your chest, Bro, 1581 01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 3: come on, Mario, I'm just not in the business to 1582 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,640 Speaker 3: taking this to take, but you don't normally take to 1583 01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 3: just take. This would be one of the few that 1584 01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,559 Speaker 3: you've thrown out. So that's why it's a good one 1585 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,559 Speaker 3: to throw out, because this isn't what you normally do. 1586 01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 3: You normally say you let it marin it, you let it, 1587 01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 3: you let it meticulate, you let it whatever, you let 1588 01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:09,240 Speaker 3: it percolate, whatever word you want it? 1589 01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 4: What's not to like? You got Dylan Brooks twenty million dollars, Yeah, 1590 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 4: Landale eight million dollars, got a great all of. 1591 01:09:16,200 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 2: Them, Seingoon, Jalen Green, Yeah, the other, No Kidd, Flevan Vliet. 1592 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. He's gonna come Bay. He's 1593 01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,760 Speaker 4: got a title, he's a he's a he's a real guy. 1594 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 3: All I know is his numbers haven't been great. His 1595 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 3: numbers haven't been great in his last year in Toronto. 1596 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:32,960 Speaker 3: But again, I think a lot of that with the point, well, 1597 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,120 Speaker 3: there's a loft that has to do with the point 1598 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:34,800 Speaker 3: that was going on. 1599 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 4: He was shooting a lot. The Pascal Siakamkanda was like 1600 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 4: the situation he's supposed to be the number one, that's 1601 01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 4: not true and not gonna not not bear in fruition. 1602 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,880 Speaker 4: So Fred ended up with a lot of late late 1603 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,680 Speaker 4: shot clock heaves. You know he's not. 1604 01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,439 Speaker 3: But again, in terms of a culture setter, you know, 1605 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 3: in terms of a guy who come in and set 1606 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:53,839 Speaker 3: your locker room, it seems like a good. 1607 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 4: A good guy to be excuse me, have a good 1608 01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 4: use of Drake.

VJ. I know you normally 1677 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,919 Speaker 4: take this by the control, but I have to nominate 1678 01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 4: one guy. Right here, right now. I want to Jason Tatum. 1679 01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:02,439 Speaker 4: Here's the reason why Jason Tatum called the NBA all 1680 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 4: right Because previously there was a provision on contraction in 1681 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,960 Speaker 4: the new CBA that players who sat out an entire 1682 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:15,040 Speaker 4: season that season would count towards their league service time, 1683 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 4: meaning they would not be eligible it would count a year. 1684 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,360 Speaker 4: So you couldn't sign a two way contract. Right You're 1685 01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,080 Speaker 4: only eligible in your first three seasons to sign a 1686 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:27,120 Speaker 4: two way deal. Harry Giles was hurt for his entire 1687 01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:27,840 Speaker 4: rookie year. 1688 01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,160 Speaker 3: He wanted to sign a two way deal right now, 1689 01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,160 Speaker 3: but was not going to be able to because that 1690 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,519 Speaker 3: first rookie year would have counted for his four years 1691 01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,240 Speaker 3: of NBA service time. Jason Tatum made a call helped 1692 01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 3: convince the NBA to allow if you were injured for 1693 01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,360 Speaker 3: the totality of one of those years, it does not 1694 01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,400 Speaker 3: count towards your service time. Therefore, Harry Giles the third 1695 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,599 Speaker 3: can still sign on a two way contract and give 1696 01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,120 Speaker 3: him yet another shot to make it in the NBA. 1697 01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,400 Speaker 3: Not a bad one, is that? Why when you came 1698 01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 3: in you asked me what my vanilla brother of the 1699 01:13:59,400 --> 01:13:59,920 Speaker 3: week was with it. 1700 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 4: Jason tatle. Yeah, didn't want to step on it. That's 1701 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:03,400 Speaker 4: what you were gonna say.

The 1847 01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 2: second set of such gambling penalties that have been levied 1848 01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:05,439 Speaker 2: this offseason, and it's the same as the three that 1849 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 2: we had earlier. Isaiah Rodgers On Thursday, Rashad Barry, both 1850 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,840 Speaker 2: of the Indianapolis Colts, free agent Demetrius Taylor, who's not 1851 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:15,679 Speaker 2: currently on a team, Well, he can't be on another 1852 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,040 Speaker 2: team for at least another year, and then after that 1853 01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:21,640 Speaker 2: he can appeal should he choose too. The integrity of 1854 01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:23,960 Speaker 2: the game is of the utmost important set. 1855 01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard of the decision, and that's 1856 01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:30,799 Speaker 3: pretty much the same thing you hear out of the league. 1857 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,080 Speaker 3: League Executive vice president for Communications Jeff Miller says, the 1858 01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,920 Speaker 3: integrity of the game has to be held at such 1859 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 3: a high standard that there is no tolerance for this 1860 01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 3: sort of behaviors. I'll just say thiss VJ. 1861 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:48,040 Speaker 2: We saw the most decorated quarterback of my lifetime, probably 1862 01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:50,559 Speaker 2: the best one of all time. Tom Brady have a 1863 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:55,599 Speaker 2: tall types of hell questioning about the rate to which 1864 01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:59,600 Speaker 2: in the level to which footballs were inflated or deflated, 1865 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,600 Speaker 2: in part because they had questions about whether or not 1866 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:08,880 Speaker 2: that it gave Tom an unfair advantage. The NFL is 1867 01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:18,240 Speaker 2: not going to allow any feeling, sense, thought process, any 1868 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:23,240 Speaker 2: impropriety to rock On. I know that it's very Airyan 1869 01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 2: Foster and PFT comment that we'll go out there and 1870 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 2: talk about the NFL script. Right, they have to be 1871 01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:35,479 Speaker 2: terrified of something like that, and to see how how 1872 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:39,400 Speaker 2: much a gas that fire contains, right, how quickly that 1873 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:44,880 Speaker 2: thing goes. Gambling is something that has been around since 1874 01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:50,320 Speaker 2: the history of sport since the first Olympics, there was 1875 01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,799 Speaker 2: people betting on it. I did my entire grad school 1876 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,320 Speaker 2: thesis on this. I studied this the impact of gambling 1877 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:59,160 Speaker 2: on the four major professional North American sports. Yes, my 1878 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 2: takeaway with this, now, more than ever, you have got 1879 01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 2: to be stringent and demanding on the rules of the game, 1880 01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:13,760 Speaker 2: both in CBA officiating and all parts in between. Because now, 1881 01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,360 Speaker 2: I'm more than ever there are going to be people 1882 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:20,680 Speaker 2: who are aggrieved of all types of situations. Now, this 1883 01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 2: one in particular. 1884 01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:26,360 Speaker 4: Is not one that seems particularly hard to me, because 1885 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:31,600 Speaker 4: if I'm the player, the NFL have d incentivized gambling, 1886 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,479 Speaker 4: first of all, a practice in which I participated frequently 1887 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 4: and lose all types of money doing money I can 1888 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 4: afford to lose. 1889 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,160 Speaker 3: But still you lose all types of money doing so. 1890 01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 3: But the point of the matter is I ain't making 1891 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,720 Speaker 3: nearly enough money to where I would recond like think 1892 01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,519 Speaker 3: about you know, hey, they said you can't talk on 1893 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 3: the radio if you're gonna get Now I'm good. I'm good. 1894 01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 3: Although I don't need the bet. I'll just give out 1895 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,240 Speaker 3: picks as everybody bet responsibly. 1896 01:23:56,560 --> 01:24:00,439 Speaker 4: There we go. If you're in the NFL and you 1897 01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:05,280 Speaker 4: gamble wherever you go gamble at. They're the people that 1898 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 4: are turning you in for the like they're the people. 1899 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,679 Speaker 4: It's essentially the same concept of knowing that the cop 1900 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 4: is undercover and buying drugs. Anyway, they're the ones that 1901 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:25,240 Speaker 4: are turning you in selling buying from the undercovering, knowing, 1902 01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:29,880 Speaker 4: knowing that this guy standing on the corner is going 1903 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,519 Speaker 4: to go back to the station and clock out when 1904 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,040 Speaker 4: his shift is over. But you know what, he's got 1905 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,240 Speaker 4: a good deal. Let me run up on him. No, 1906 01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:42,720 Speaker 4: you're getting yourself caught. You deserve all the punishment that 1907 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,040 Speaker 4: comes down because the rules are very out light and 1908 01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,400 Speaker 4: very straightforward. Ain't nobody tricking you. And this ain't like 1909 01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 4: the situation where they're going, Hey, you know you're supposed 1910 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:51,960 Speaker 4: to tell me if you're a police officer, there's a 1911 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,560 Speaker 4: law about that. Ain't no law, Ain't no law. But 1912 01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,880 Speaker 4: I'm here to tell you, guys, everybody listening, if you're 1913 01:24:59,920 --> 01:25:03,880 Speaker 4: in in the NFL, just don't just wait. Just wait 1914 01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:05,680 Speaker 4: until you retire three years from now and you get 1915 01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 4: a show sponsored by fandel or Bet MGM or DraftKings 1916 01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:12,240 Speaker 4: or call Jamie Fox and John Sally and to do 1917 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 4: that way. But no, no, no, no, no no, it's the 1918 01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 4: dumbest thing you could possibly get called doing at this 1919 01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:18,879 Speaker 4: point in time, because it's all your fault. 1920 01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is Show me a picture of 1921 01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 3: somebody dumb and one of these players pop up, like 1922 01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 3: if dumb, if I'm an idiot, was a person, and 1923 01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 3: it's one of these people. Because like you said, this 1924 01:25:31,439 --> 01:25:33,920 Speaker 3: is a really easy rule to follow. If you're an 1925 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,760 Speaker 3: NFL player, this is easy. This might be the easiest 1926 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,679 Speaker 3: NFL rule to follow. This might be the easiest one 1927 01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,719 Speaker 3: out there. It's because it's. 1928 01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:44,559 Speaker 4: Just so simple. 1929 01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:48,240 Speaker 3: I don't care if it's at the facility or if 1930 01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,479 Speaker 3: you was in your on your team or your league 1931 01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:55,439 Speaker 3: or your this is just don't do it.

You can get suspended just for that. 1938 01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:13,600 Speaker 4: You can't bet through proxy either, yeah, so, which is 1939 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 4: what that is. 1940 01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:17,000 Speaker 3: Now on the flip side to that with the NFL, 1941 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:20,679 Speaker 3: just kind of the hypocrisy of this is you're telling 1942 01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,719 Speaker 3: players they can't gamble and bat, but every commercial break 1943 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,000 Speaker 3: Kevin Hard is sitting on the counch and telling you 1944 01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:33,639 Speaker 3: about FanDuel or DraftKings dot Com.

The facts 1948 01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,400 Speaker 3: are you're telling your players you can't gamble and they 1949 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:44,439 Speaker 3: shouldn't gamble. 1950 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,680 Speaker 4: I agree with that part. I'm with that part. But 1951 01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:48,200 Speaker 4: then at the. 1952 01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:52,320 Speaker 3: Same time, you are running fan duel and Draft Kings 1953 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:54,720 Speaker 3: and all this stuff all around them. You're playing into 1954 01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,160 Speaker 3: it as their sponsorship, you're making money off of them, 1955 01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,160 Speaker 3: but your players cannot be involved in it. If in 1956 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,640 Speaker 3: the NFL, there's gotta be and you could clean that 1957 01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 3: part of it up, or here's my thing, and I'll 1958 01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,320 Speaker 3: throw this at you. You're probably gonna I can I 1959 01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,920 Speaker 3: can tell you probably will say no. Couldn't the NFL 1960 01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:12,080 Speaker 3: just say okay, guys. 1961 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:12,320 Speaker 4: Look. 1962 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:17,120 Speaker 3: All football is just off. You can gamble on anything 1963 01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,000 Speaker 3: else in the world. We don't care if you're doing 1964 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 3: it at the facility or whatever. But you just can't 1965 01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,480 Speaker 3: gamble all the sport of football. 1966 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:25,160 Speaker 4: That's it. 1967 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:28,400 Speaker 3: Go have fun with basketball, Go have fun with hockey, 1968 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:30,799 Speaker 3: Go have fun with baseball, Go have fun with horses, 1969 01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:32,920 Speaker 3: and can do that now you just can't. So then 1970 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,160 Speaker 3: if you're betting, now one of the guys got in 1971 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 3: trouble because he did it at the facility. You can't 1972 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,240 Speaker 3: do it at work. So you can't do it at work. 1973 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,200 Speaker 3: That's dumb, dumb. 1974 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:42,840 Speaker 4: No, you're at work. You're supposed to be working. Yeah, 1975 01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 4: whatever you talk about it dumb. No, it's not. No, no, no, 1976 01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:47,400 Speaker 4: it's not. He's dumb. 1977 01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:49,080 Speaker 3: What he said, I mean, what he did excise me 1978 01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 3: is no. What he did not. The rule is dumb. 1979 01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:56,120 Speaker 3: All right, I'm about to sell Yeah, yeah, I'm not 1980 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:57,960 Speaker 3: just saying, like, you know, he's. 1981 01:27:58,120 --> 01:27:59,800 Speaker 4: At work, he's supposed to be working. You know, I 1982 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,559 Speaker 4: get bet on football. Why would you do that? Why 1983 01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 4: would you bet on football? I mean, I bet on 1984 01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:07,960 Speaker 4: a football all the time. I like to try to 1985 01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:09,840 Speaker 4: win a little bit of money. But the difference is 1986 01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,960 Speaker 4: I'm not involved. I'm not a participant. I'm not getting 1987 01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:14,800 Speaker 4: how would you do that? Like my way to make 1988 01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,160 Speaker 4: money in football is by betting on it. You know why? 1989 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 4: Because I can't run, I can't catch, I can't tackle. Right, say, man, 1990 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 4: I'm not killing myself. You know who else can't that? 1991 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:28,680 Speaker 4: Ninety eight percent of the moving world can't. Right, we're 1992 01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:30,960 Speaker 4: talking about the highest athletes. I'm not one of them. 1993 01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:33,760 Speaker 3: You're right, DJ, I'm really knocking myself to say I'm 1994 01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,519 Speaker 3: not one of the most highly tuned athletes on the planet. 1995 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,000 Speaker 4: You're absolutely you know what I'm saying. 1996 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:41,040 Speaker 3: You still got a decent bank jump shot though. Look 1997 01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:44,120 Speaker 3: you still got a decent little bank jumpy off the 1998 01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:45,840 Speaker 3: back door cut on Venice Beach. 1999 01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 4: I got a decent jump shot for a retired football player. 2000 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 4: How about that? 2001 01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:49,360 Speaker 6: All right? 2002 01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,800 Speaker 4: Because if we're talking about actual basketball, that's out the 2003 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:53,679 Speaker 4: window as well. 2004 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,960 Speaker 2: But the old you know you watch the commercial breaks, 2005 01:28:57,160 --> 01:28:59,240 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, how can you not gamble if you 2006 01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,840 Speaker 2: saw it on comer? First of all, NFL players are 2007 01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,759 Speaker 2: watching NFL games on TV because they're playing in NFL games. 2008 01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,440 Speaker 2: So the idea, how do they getting cascaded with commercials? 2009 01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,439 Speaker 3: That's one thing entirely. But I'm old enough to remember 2010 01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:15,599 Speaker 3: when Budwiser it was the commercial. 2011 01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:19,600 Speaker 4: They were everywhere. It was everywhere, right, okay, it was 2012 01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,880 Speaker 4: every sing it was every break. You wuld say why. 2013 01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:26,880 Speaker 3: I don't think they were allowing players to drink bud 2014 01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,400 Speaker 3: light at halftime. I don't think players were in the 2015 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:35,320 Speaker 3: cold tub popping the champagne of beers, which is miller like, 2016 01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:36,439 Speaker 3: but my point remains. 2017 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:39,400 Speaker 4: Right the other day that Terry Tait off his linebacker. 2018 01:29:39,439 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 4: Do you think that guys were walking around in meeting 2019 01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:48,519 Speaker 4: rooms tackling each other. No, it's advertising. Just don't buy it, 2020 01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:51,240 Speaker 4: just don't participate, and it's something entirely. 2021 01:29:51,320 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 3: Look, I have a little bit more sympathy for a 2022 01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:56,679 Speaker 3: guy getting the duy quite honestly, but because the idea is, look, 2023 01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:00,000 Speaker 3: uber exists, one hundred percent, got it good, But they're 2024 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:01,519 Speaker 3: there's a place where you can say, like, man, I'm 2025 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:03,479 Speaker 3: not pulling on eight, but you should just do it 2026 01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:04,559 Speaker 3: across the board. 2027 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,840 Speaker 4: Just tak an uber, right, So like, don't play the game. 2028 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:09,920 Speaker 4: You can bet on a different sports if you're in 2029 01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 4: the NFL, But where's the win you're going? First of all, 2030 01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 4: you're gonna lose money because you're not a winning better, 2031 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 4: because like, if you were winning better, you live in 2032 01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:19,840 Speaker 4: Vegas and you'd be winning betting. You know what I'm saying, 2033 01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,599 Speaker 4: you're not a winning better. You're gonna hit sixty. There's 2034 01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:25,280 Speaker 4: no chance you ain't over sixty percent across all sports, 2035 01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:27,439 Speaker 4: which is what a winning better would do. Think about 2036 01:30:27,479 --> 01:30:31,559 Speaker 4: that margin, sixty percent. That's what you have to bet 2037 01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:34,639 Speaker 4: to make money. You gotta be sixty sixty five percent to. 2038 01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:38,040 Speaker 3: Actually profit, to actually make some brin to actually profit. 2039 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:41,920 Speaker 4: If you're if you're a defensive end, you gotta make 2040 01:30:41,960 --> 01:30:44,439 Speaker 4: a play in thirty percent of the game. You get 2041 01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:45,679 Speaker 4: thirty percent, you get five sacks. 2042 01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,479 Speaker 3: Guess what you're gonna be back about to say, yeah, 2043 01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:50,200 Speaker 3: you'll be back, Yeah you're good, You're sure. Yeah, it's 2044 01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:53,479 Speaker 3: just listen, man, I'm over this, I really am. It's 2045 01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:55,920 Speaker 3: it's just when you solve that these players got caught again, 2046 01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:59,240 Speaker 3: and it's just like even like Jamison Williams, it's like, bro, 2047 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,400 Speaker 3: come on you you just get back. You know, just 2048 01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,040 Speaker 3: so much promise and now you gotta you gotta sit 2049 01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:07,880 Speaker 3: the first six because you were saying you didn't know 2050 01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:11,320 Speaker 3: or you know, or ah, what do you say, Uh, 2051 01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:15,160 Speaker 3: an employee told him something or gave him bad information. 2052 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:17,680 Speaker 4: It's just it's just, dude, there's don't. 2053 01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:21,000 Speaker 3: Gamble on football.

Yeah, the 2073 01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:11,080 Speaker 3: matches got from Houston. That's when Twitter existed. It was 2074 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:13,240 Speaker 3: all over Twitter.

You can tell them 2114 01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:01,519 Speaker 9: as much you want, don't bet on the NFL, and 2115 01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:04,320 Speaker 9: that one is very clear, But clearly this other rule isn't. 2116 01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:07,760 Speaker 9: And like I don't know, all the other leagues apparently 2117 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:11,320 Speaker 9: have the same thing except that all the other leagues 2118 01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:15,519 Speaker 9: apparently you are allowed to gamble on other sports but 2119 01:34:15,680 --> 01:34:19,320 Speaker 9: not your own sports. So in NBA, NHL Baseball, that 2120 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:21,080 Speaker 9: rule is true. The NFL is the only one that 2121 01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:22,000 Speaker 9: has this condition. 2122 01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,799 Speaker 4: You can battle other sports if you're an NFL player, 2123 01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:27,040 Speaker 4: you just can't bet it work. 2124 01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,519 Speaker 9: Yeah, But I from what I'm again, like, I think 2125 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 9: that's where in this first wave this is going to 2126 01:34:32,520 --> 01:34:34,800 Speaker 9: be drilled into everyone. But this first wave this year, 2127 01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:37,280 Speaker 9: a lot of these guys were just not given the 2128 01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:39,839 Speaker 9: book from the NFL on this at this point. 2129 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 4: At this point, if you don't know the rules, that's 2130 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 4: all you. 2131 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:45,200 Speaker 9: Yeah, but I think all these bets are getting caught 2132 01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:46,760 Speaker 9: for stuff they were doing like last year. 2133 01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:49,439 Speaker 3: Okay, And that's one thing I don't you know, I 2134 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:50,840 Speaker 3: have a little bit of an issue with that. I 2135 01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 3: kind of like, look I got away with it, you 2136 01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,640 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like it catch me now, Like 2137 01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:56,720 Speaker 3: it's like right light, cameras, catch me now, catch me. 2138 01:34:56,720 --> 01:34:58,160 Speaker 4: If you can catch me now, you ain't. 2139 01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:01,120 Speaker 9: Catch me like old investigation coming home to roost for 2140 01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:02,559 Speaker 9: the NFL. And that's where it's just kind of. 2141 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:04,920 Speaker 4: But the Isaiah Rogers thing that was recent like, there's 2142 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,360 Speaker 4: these guys are really doing this in the moment and 2143 01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:09,960 Speaker 4: it's just about as dumb as can possibly be. There 2144 01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,719 Speaker 4: are rules and there are laws follow them. 2145 01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:15,400 Speaker 3: Just following Rogers that one, that one, I'm with you 2146 01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:18,760 Speaker 3: on that that one was like crazy, brocause not only that, 2147 01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:20,800 Speaker 3: a lot of these guys that are getting caught are 2148 01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:24,880 Speaker 3: fringe to practice squad late roster play. Isaiah Rogers, he's 2149 01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:29,080 Speaker 3: a starter. Like this guy's getting interceptions, he's changing games. 2150 01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:32,160 Speaker 9: Would have to take getting a big name. I had 2151 01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,759 Speaker 9: this conversation with Chris Plank when he we were filling 2152 01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:37,160 Speaker 9: on the Ben Mallor Show, and I think the conversation 2153 01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,599 Speaker 9: we were trying to have is like this still doesn't 2154 01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:41,800 Speaker 9: really even though we're up to like seven eight guys now, 2155 01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,240 Speaker 9: this still doesn't feel like a huge story scandal for 2156 01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,680 Speaker 9: the NFL, just because they don't have a big name 2157 01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:48,639 Speaker 9: outside of James Jamison Williams. 2158 01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:51,920 Speaker 3: And that's just as right now, this is the thing 2159 01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:53,760 Speaker 3: that's gonna This is the point of the last thing 2160 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:56,360 Speaker 3: we'll say on this before we go to break. Right now, 2161 01:35:56,439 --> 01:36:01,000 Speaker 3: it's all indefinitely until I'm definitely up to undefinitely up 2162 01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:04,960 Speaker 3: to six games Calvin Ridley a pitch you know, appealed, 2163 01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:06,960 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, after you appeal to get back 2164 01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:09,880 Speaker 3: into the league, was let back in pretty much right away. 2165 01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 3: I think what one ended up seeing is that's not 2166 01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:15,080 Speaker 3: going to be happening in the same way because there's 2167 01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:16,840 Speaker 3: not much history to it, and I won't bore people. 2168 01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:19,799 Speaker 3: Nineteen forty seven, two guys took were accused of taking bribes. 2169 01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:22,840 Speaker 2: They were suspended. The only one of them ever played 2170 01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:25,160 Speaker 2: another down in the NFL. They were just and they 2171 01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:28,479 Speaker 2: were just the accusation, they didn't actually take them. And 2172 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:31,920 Speaker 2: so I think eventually we'll see some actual indefiniteness of 2173 01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 2: these indefinite. 2174 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:38,080 Speaker 4: Respects gone forever, Yeah, go on forever. We'll be right back, 2175 01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:39,120 Speaker 4: though we won't be going forever. 2176 01:36:39,160 --> 01:36:40,680 Speaker 2: Martin and VJ be coming back with some of my 2177 01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:44,160 Speaker 2: little baseball talk Fox Sports Radio, Martin and VJ coming 2178 01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,240 Speaker 2: to you from the tire IRAQ dot Com Studios. 2179 01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:47,639 Speaker 4: VJ. 2180 01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:52,200 Speaker 3: We saw something we rarely ever see in professional sports, 2181 01:36:52,760 --> 01:36:58,000 Speaker 3: especially these days, a perfect game Domingo Herman from the 2182 01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:02,320 Speaker 3: Yankees perfect game against the which I mean, just listening 2183 01:37:02,320 --> 01:37:04,320 Speaker 3: to one of Steve the Sagger's updates about how many 2184 01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,880 Speaker 3: few how few runs they've scored in comparison to the 2185 01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:07,679 Speaker 3: rest of the league. 2186 01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:09,840 Speaker 4: And you know, we've got the Detroit Tigers on right now. 2187 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 4: That's a whole different story. But anyway, twenty fourth perfect 2188 01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 4: game in Major League history. 2189 01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:19,640 Speaker 3: Almost every time I see this, I'm reminded of Andres Galarraga, 2190 01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:22,599 Speaker 3: who could have had a perfect game and Jim Joyce 2191 01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:25,960 Speaker 3: blew the call, and that just had to be depressing 2192 01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,400 Speaker 3: and just disheartening moments, especially because. 2193 01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,280 Speaker 4: You think about how few of these there are in history. 2194 01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,880 Speaker 4: Do you know how many no hitters have been in history? Uh? No, No, 2195 01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:35,439 Speaker 4: over three hundred at the top. 2196 01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,280 Speaker 3: Okay, so think about that in comparison, twenty four perfect games, 2197 01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 3: over three hundred no hitters. But the last perfect game 2198 01:37:42,120 --> 01:37:45,599 Speaker 3: is like what twenty fourteen, I believe the last perfect 2199 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:48,880 Speaker 3: game that was thrown. Yeah, so it doesn't happen often, 2200 01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:51,280 Speaker 3: only twenty four of them. And you know what, and 2201 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:53,519 Speaker 3: I didn't see this, I you know, came across my 2202 01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:55,760 Speaker 3: phone and came across my iPad and then I opened 2203 01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:57,640 Speaker 3: it up. So, oh man, somebody oh that that the 2204 01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,800 Speaker 3: Yankees pitcher threw a perfect game and went looked at 2205 01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:02,360 Speaker 3: the lights and stuff. But you know why this happened 2206 01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:05,719 Speaker 3: because nobody tweeted about it, nobody talked about it, nobody 2207 01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:06,639 Speaker 3: ruined the moment. 2208 01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:10,320 Speaker 4: And also too, that's just fundamentally not true. Yes, so 2209 01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:12,479 Speaker 4: yeah it is. We gotta stop with this. 2210 01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:14,720 Speaker 3: I guess sometimes you miss things that happened, But just 2211 01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:16,720 Speaker 3: because you miss it doesn't mean it didn't happen, because 2212 01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:18,640 Speaker 3: I saw the last four innings of this, and I 2213 01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:21,640 Speaker 3: promise you when I started my day that day, I 2214 01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:23,439 Speaker 3: was not thinking that I was be tuned in to 2215 01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:25,680 Speaker 3: Yankees and A's I know, but did you did you? 2216 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:27,760 Speaker 3: Did you jinx it by saying, oh man, he's got 2217 01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 3: a per He's gone. Whoever jinxed it on my timeline 2218 01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:36,559 Speaker 3: at the time said yo, Domingo's perfect through six, Then 2219 01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:38,240 Speaker 3: I wouldn't watch seven, eight and nine. 2220 01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:40,559 Speaker 4: That's the way I was aware of it. If it 2221 01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:44,439 Speaker 4: was by yours type of scenario and definition, nobody would 2222 01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:46,800 Speaker 4: still know it happened because Domingo hasn't pissed. 2223 01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,200 Speaker 9: Everyone's next time out these days on social media, social 2224 01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:51,400 Speaker 9: media just barely counts for any kind of jinks. 2225 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,719 Speaker 4: I mean, there we go, thank you, thank you, Chris. 2226 01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:56,920 Speaker 3: So barely counts on social media but I thought this 2227 01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,040 Speaker 3: was cool, man, It's just funny. It was against the 2228 01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 3: Oakland A's. You know, it's the bottom dweller team in 2229 01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:02,479 Speaker 3: the league. 2230 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:04,519 Speaker 6: Barely counts, I know, right. 2231 01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 3: And Bow and I were looking at the game in 2232 01:39:06,240 --> 01:39:09,120 Speaker 3: the engineer room before we came on aired and caught 2233 01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:11,840 Speaker 3: a glimpse of the stands there at the game. 2234 01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,800 Speaker 4: Oh god, that looks like the early scenes of the 2235 01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:16,920 Speaker 4: games for the Cleveland Indians in Major League. 2236 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:22,040 Speaker 3: There is like literally nobody at these games for them. 2237 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:23,960 Speaker 3: So if you were on the run from the police, 2238 01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,360 Speaker 3: a great place to go. It'd beat Oka Cola. 2239 01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:27,080 Speaker 4: So who do you guys. 2240 01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:29,679 Speaker 6: Think faced a more intimidating lineup in their perfect game? 2241 01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:33,639 Speaker 6: Addie Joss of the Cleveland Naps in nineteen oh eight 2242 01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:38,360 Speaker 6: or Domingo Herman in the twenty twenty. 2243 01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:40,439 Speaker 4: Tony Camp wasn't bat in third back in a way? Okay, 2244 01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:41,240 Speaker 4: that's all I got this. 2245 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:44,439 Speaker 9: I was shocked at first, there's been like eleven years 2246 01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:46,200 Speaker 9: since the last perfect game. But then me and Bow 2247 01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:49,160 Speaker 9: were going through the records, like over half the perfect 2248 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:52,760 Speaker 9: games in history where took place between nineteen ninety two 2249 01:39:52,880 --> 01:39:55,840 Speaker 9: and twenty twelve, and there were three in twenty twelve. 2250 01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:57,800 Speaker 3: And but and to that point though, when you go 2251 01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:00,880 Speaker 3: over half, the other twelve start from like eighteen hundred on. 2252 01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:03,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, cy Young, I think it was nineteen 2253 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:03,920 Speaker 4: oh one. 2254 01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:05,360 Speaker 3: When I looked it up to I just I was 2255 01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:08,800 Speaker 3: I was amazed at how spread out they are through 2256 01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:12,280 Speaker 3: the through the history of baseball. But this was I 2257 01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:14,280 Speaker 3: thought that was a cool moment. Man, Perfect games are 2258 01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:16,599 Speaker 3: always great. It just got my mind going, like, man, 2259 01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:19,400 Speaker 3: what's the equivalent to a perfect game? Is a perfect 2260 01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:25,040 Speaker 3: game the single best? What individual fees in all of sports? 2261 01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,000 Speaker 4: Nothing? Not even Wilt's one hundred point game. 2262 01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,480 Speaker 6: No, I don't think so, okay. 2263 01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:33,519 Speaker 4: I was just trying to put it together, like, okay, God. 2264 01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 3: The only thing I could think that would like even 2265 01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:39,719 Speaker 3: qualify to be close is like when a quarterback goes 2266 01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:43,080 Speaker 3: you know, he has like ninety five percent completion rating, 2267 01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,400 Speaker 3: But generally when that's the case, it's for like two 2268 01:40:45,479 --> 01:40:47,040 Speaker 3: hundred yards because it's checked down, checkdown. 2269 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:48,840 Speaker 6: That's just so much that has to go right to 2270 01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:50,000 Speaker 6: throw a perfect game, exactly. 2271 01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:52,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, everybody's got to do their job. No one 2272 01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:54,759 Speaker 4: can make a mistake, nobody. 2273 01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,080 Speaker 6: And then on top of that too, like the pitching 2274 01:40:57,160 --> 01:40:58,960 Speaker 6: is the hardest job I think in sports, and you 2275 01:40:59,040 --> 01:40:59,919 Speaker 6: have to do that perfectly. 2276 01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:02,960 Speaker 9: Yeah, like it's just and you're also at the mercy 2277 01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:03,920 Speaker 9: of your fielders too. 2278 01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:06,599 Speaker 3: That's what I mean, like all like all fielders, all, 2279 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,800 Speaker 3: like everybody on the field for you, that night has 2280 01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 3: to be perfect. 2281 01:41:10,680 --> 01:41:12,960 Speaker 4: It's a perfect game is not just the picture. A 2282 01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:15,040 Speaker 4: perfect game is the entire defense. 2283 01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:18,360 Speaker 6: Clayton. Clayton Kershaw's no hitter could have been a perfect game. 2284 01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:20,960 Speaker 3: If Hanley I wanted to say the babble, Yeah, the 2285 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,760 Speaker 3: bobble at first, Yeah that's true. Yeah, Kershaw could have 2286 01:41:24,800 --> 01:41:26,880 Speaker 3: had a perfect game. But I think it's a great feed. 2287 01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:28,280 Speaker 3: But like I said, my mind started to go to 2288 01:41:28,600 --> 01:41:31,200 Speaker 3: what's equivalent to this do? I looked at racing, I 2289 01:41:31,280 --> 01:41:33,760 Speaker 3: looked at uh, you know, I thought whole hold on 2290 01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:35,280 Speaker 3: one was the first thing that popped in my mind. 2291 01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:37,599 Speaker 3: And it's like, h maybe we saw hold in one 2292 01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,360 Speaker 3: at the Open. It happened exactly, just exactly. I was 2293 01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:41,720 Speaker 3: about to say, there was just a hole on one. 2294 01:41:41,880 --> 01:41:43,800 Speaker 9: Three of them actually make a perfect game. It was 2295 01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:47,719 Speaker 9: like an eighty yard part three at the open. Perfect 2296 01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:49,320 Speaker 9: game would be like four whole hold on ones in 2297 01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:49,640 Speaker 9: a Row. 2298 01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:50,720 Speaker 4: I think you'd have to. 2299 01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:53,640 Speaker 9: You would have to for something like golf, you'd have 2300 01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:57,320 Speaker 9: to be getting like ridiculous stroke counts over the course 2301 01:41:57,360 --> 01:41:58,679 Speaker 9: of like every major or something. 2302 01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:00,560 Speaker 4: And you know, things went well and too, there was 2303 01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:03,240 Speaker 4: some rain delays, there was some delays, and Oakland's picture 2304 01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,240 Speaker 4: got hurt. So it was things that were throwing off 2305 01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:07,680 Speaker 4: the rhythm of the game. And Domingo was able to 2306 01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:09,960 Speaker 4: stay locked in, So kudos to him. So you know 2307 01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:13,240 Speaker 4: said that makes it more impressive to you. Well, it's 2308 01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:15,559 Speaker 4: just to the point of a perfect game is hard. 2309 01:42:16,160 --> 01:42:18,560 Speaker 4: Different things occurred throughout the course of the game, Like 2310 01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:20,360 Speaker 4: maybe if Oaklands pitcher doesn't get hurt, he gets a 2311 01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:22,320 Speaker 4: third out. Now Dominico to get ten minutes arrest. 2312 01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:24,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, to go out there, 2313 01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:26,200 Speaker 3: and you know, it's all these different things that are 2314 01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:29,519 Speaker 3: variables in play that make a perfect game something really special. 2315 01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:31,320 Speaker 3: But yeah, it would have to be something along the 2316 01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:34,599 Speaker 3: lines of a quarterback going thirty six for thirty six 2317 01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:36,640 Speaker 3: for four hundred and seventy five yards, you know what 2318 01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:39,960 Speaker 3: I'm saying, or like somebody going twenty for twenty from 2319 01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,160 Speaker 3: the floor in the NBA is Wilson hundred the closest 2320 01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:45,040 Speaker 3: thing you guys can come up with them. Will Wilson 2321 01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:45,479 Speaker 3: hundred be. 2322 01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:49,800 Speaker 9: The closest comparably, I'd have to get some details with 2323 01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:52,200 Speaker 9: the closest thing I can think maybe for me looking 2324 01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:55,200 Speaker 9: at football in the modern era is do you remember when? 2325 01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:57,639 Speaker 9: And again, this is harder because football is a team's sport. 2326 01:42:57,720 --> 01:42:59,920 Speaker 9: We just boil it down to the quarterback all the time, 2327 01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:02,600 Speaker 9: which is ridiculous. But what Andrew Luck did in that 2328 01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,439 Speaker 9: one playoff game against the Chiefs, the Chiefs in the 2329 01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:07,960 Speaker 9: wild card round, coming back that far down in that 2330 01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:11,200 Speaker 9: short period of time, Like you'd have to put something 2331 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,919 Speaker 9: together like that, like a two minute drill that overcomes 2332 01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 9: like twenty one points or something. 2333 01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:17,840 Speaker 3: Well, let's get Steve the Seger's opinion on this. If 2334 01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:19,519 Speaker 3: he gives a dog on and the rest of the 2335 01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:21,559 Speaker 3: world of sports. Let's see what's going on. Steve, how 2336 01:43:21,560 --> 01:43:22,639 Speaker 3: do you think about a perfect game? 2337 01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:23,080 Speaker 8: Uh? 2338 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:23,920 Speaker 4: Phenomenal? 2339 01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:27,240 Speaker 10: And you know, unless you're going with like some Michael 2340 01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:31,040 Speaker 10: Phelps racer you seen Bolt race, it's individual performance that 2341 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,679 Speaker 10: nobody on the planet can match. The best pitched game 2342 01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:37,120 Speaker 10: I might have ever seen on TV was when Carrie 2343 01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:40,000 Speaker 10: Wood struck out twenty and it was almost a rained 2344 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,000 Speaker 10: out game at Wrigley Field that day. Nobody was touching him. 2345 01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:45,800 Speaker 10: The curve ball was truly phenomenal. But if there hadn't 2346 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:48,360 Speaker 10: been a botch from the shortstop in the Kershaw no hitter, 2347 01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:52,760 Speaker 10: to have a fifteen strikeout game in a perfect game, 2348 01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:57,880 Speaker 10: that would have been truly phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. I looked 2349 01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:00,519 Speaker 10: up the pitch counts and other perfect games, like Randy 2350 01:44:00,600 --> 01:44:03,040 Speaker 10: Johnson almost one hundred and twenty pitches in his, David 2351 01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,720 Speaker 10: Wells one hundred and twenty pitches in his, and this 2352 01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:09,040 Speaker 10: guy for the Yankees this week taminga Hermann ninety nine 2353 01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:10,040 Speaker 10: pitches which. 2354 01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:11,800 Speaker 4: Was the key and nine strike. You wouldn't get the 2355 01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:13,440 Speaker 4: one twenty these days at a polo. 2356 01:44:13,280 --> 01:44:16,280 Speaker 10: No, absolutely none. Matt Cain one hundred and twenty five 2357 01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:18,960 Speaker 10: pitches in his perfect game with the Giants about a 2358 01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:19,519 Speaker 10: decade ago. 2359 01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:22,599 Speaker 3: So twenty to twenty five more pitches for those guys. Yeah, 2360 01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:23,240 Speaker 3: over Herman. 2361 01:44:24,120 --> 01:44:26,439 Speaker 10: We've got Dodgers on Fox TV for much of the 2362 01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:29,479 Speaker 10: country right now, and the pitcher just off the injured list, 2363 01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:32,320 Speaker 10: Julio Arius, gave up five runs in the first inning 2364 01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:34,880 Speaker 10: at Kansas City. It's now Royals five to three over 2365 01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:37,519 Speaker 10: the Dodgers. In the bottom of the second, Guardians at 2366 01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:40,439 Speaker 10: Cubs in a long rain delay over two hours worth. 2367 01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:43,040 Speaker 10: They're hoping to begin in about a half an hour 2368 01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:45,800 Speaker 10: in Chicago. That'll be on Fox TV for part of 2369 01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,599 Speaker 10: the country and the rest getting the Mariners home game. 2370 01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:50,960 Speaker 10: They're up six to two on Tampa Bay now, top 2371 01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:54,000 Speaker 10: of the eighth inning, Ray's pitcher Shane McClanahan, an All 2372 01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:56,679 Speaker 10: Star last summer eleven and one.

Tigers at Rocky Gorless, 2374 01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,120 Speaker 10: bottom of the second. Yankees at Saint Louis. Was rained 2375 01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,360 Speaker 10: out last night, so they had a doubleheader today. A 2376 01:45:05,439 --> 01:45:08,200 Speaker 10: couple of rain delays during Game one. Eventually they finished 2377 01:45:08,240 --> 01:45:10,760 Speaker 10: at Saint Louis eleven to four over New York to 2378 01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,320 Speaker 10: the fourth inning of the nightcap, Yankees leading three to 2379 01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:15,920 Speaker 10: two at Saint Louis and in a half an hour 2380 01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:19,240 Speaker 10: the nightcap. On the schedule, the Angels and show, Hey, 2381 01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:22,080 Speaker 10: Otani not pitching tonight, just hitting. 2382 01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:22,639 Speaker 4: That's enough. 2383 01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:25,080 Speaker 10: Angels hosting Arizona. I don't know if you saw last night. 2384 01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:28,880 Speaker 10: Otani not only hit his thirtieth home run. That's fifteen 2385 01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,879 Speaker 10: home runs for the month of June to finish that part. 2386 01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:33,400 Speaker 4: Of the calendar. He's hot right now. 2387 01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:37,560 Speaker 10: Just ridiculous what he's been doing.

Longest home run 2479 01:49:39,439 --> 01:49:42,000 Speaker 3: almost five hundred feet last night. We know what he's doing. 2480 01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:44,479 Speaker 3: But there's a gentleman that I think we forgot about 2481 01:49:44,560 --> 01:49:46,280 Speaker 3: and I love him. I love him to death, and 2482 01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:49,719 Speaker 3: that's Mookie Bets. Twenty two home runs fifth in the league, 2483 01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,960 Speaker 3: fifty five RBIs tenth in the league, nine twenty three 2484 01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:56,360 Speaker 3: ops seventh in the league, batt in two seventy. 2485 01:49:56,920 --> 01:50:00,920 Speaker 4: I think he's still the second best player in Do 2486 01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:01,680 Speaker 4: you agree with that? 2487 01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:03,960 Speaker 3: And how is it that we've just kind of kind 2488 01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:07,120 Speaker 3: of forgotten about how great Mookie Betts is and what 2489 01:50:07,200 --> 01:50:08,519 Speaker 3: he's doing for the Dodgers this year. 2490 01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:12,839 Speaker 8: I think it's because we're so accustomed to the Dodgers 2491 01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:15,640 Speaker 8: being successful and just being being there at the end 2492 01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:18,160 Speaker 8: of the season, so I think we kind of just expected, 2493 01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:19,439 Speaker 8: we expect this from Mookie. 2494 01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:21,560 Speaker 5: This is what he does. But I do agree with you. 2495 01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,719 Speaker 8: I do think he has to be considered the second 2496 01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:25,320 Speaker 8: best player in the league right now. And I think 2497 01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:28,040 Speaker 8: he reminded people of that when he showed his ability 2498 01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:31,080 Speaker 8: to play multiple positions when they were plugging him in shortstop, 2499 01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:33,479 Speaker 8: second base, you know, when he was filling right now, 2500 01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:38,680 Speaker 8: you know. And best leadoff hitter in the game, one 2501 01:50:38,720 --> 01:50:42,080 Speaker 8: of the best hitters in the game. So yeah, definitely, 2502 01:50:42,360 --> 01:50:42,959 Speaker 8: and also. 2503 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:45,720 Speaker 3: Speaking of the leadoff nine leadoff home runs that leads 2504 01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:48,639 Speaker 3: the majors this year also too, so just another tip 2505 01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:50,320 Speaker 3: of the cap for mookie bats. 2506 01:50:52,439 --> 01:50:54,960 Speaker 4: Damar ja, my bad, I didn't mean anyssault. You like that. 2507 01:50:57,600 --> 01:50:59,679 Speaker 4: It's July first, right, it's July first. 2508 01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:03,559 Speaker 3: Last season, three of the sixth division leaders on July 2509 01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:04,839 Speaker 3: first won their division. 2510 01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:09,520 Speaker 4: That would be the Yankees and the Astros and the Dodgers. 2511 01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:13,040 Speaker 4: Now the three that missed it, the Twins missed they 2512 01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:15,640 Speaker 4: were leading in July first, and Al Central and the 2513 01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:20,360 Speaker 4: Mets and the Brewers missed. What team right now a 2514 01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:24,479 Speaker 4: top their division? Tomar Jay misses the playoffs. Trey Lightley 2515 01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:30,400 Speaker 4: ooh uh, I would. 2516 01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:35,720 Speaker 8: Have to say Minnesota, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, that's a 2517 01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:37,360 Speaker 8: tough onero. I'd have to sit Minnesota, though I think 2518 01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:40,560 Speaker 8: Cleveland end up passing them. That's that's a yeah. The 2519 01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:44,439 Speaker 8: Braves definitely ain't. Cincinnati could, but Milwaukee they haven't shown 2520 01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:46,640 Speaker 8: me much. They gotta get going. I think they I 2521 01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:48,320 Speaker 8: told you guys a couple weeks ago, they should have 2522 01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:51,400 Speaker 8: been took ahold of that division. I feel like unless 2523 01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:53,760 Speaker 8: Cincinnatti got hired and crept up on him. So that's 2524 01:51:53,800 --> 01:51:58,040 Speaker 8: gonna be tough. And Dodgers and Diamondbacks, I think I 2525 01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:00,200 Speaker 8: think Diamondbacks hold onto that. So yeah, I have to 2526 01:52:00,240 --> 01:52:00,879 Speaker 8: go to Minnesota. 2527 01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,040 Speaker 4: So so you're saying, let me get this right. 2528 01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:07,120 Speaker 2: You're saying that riding on the whiteboard, let the season 2529 01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:11,439 Speaker 2: begin on July first?
