Right? Would you ever care? 29 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: I also think that Jason's number one topic was a 30 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 3: bit tongue in cheek. I don't think that we were 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 3: going to sit here. 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 4: And well just I mean I again, Doug said something 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 4: an hour ago.

Let's talk about things we appreciate most 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 4: about Dan. 39 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: What do you mean Dan's last show for a while, 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: Because you. 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 4: Know, the fourth of July holiday, everybody in the industry 42 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 4: gets really lazy and goes on vacations. Dan Byer fills in. 43 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 4: He's our main filling guy. 44 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: I'm off tomorrow and Friday, and I'm with you guys, uh, 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 3: throughout the week through Wednesday of next week, and then Doug, 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: I know you're going to be doing some different stuff, 47 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: so I'll be doing your show. 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: I think the fourth Am I doing Dan?

I having on my phone. 50 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 4: Yes so, But so I just figured since we're not 51 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 4: gonna have Dan for a while, we could just kind 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 4: of spend some time listening most. 53 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: But he wasn't. He wasn't. He wasn't down with that one. 54 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: But I tell people all the time, you know, running 55 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: people at the super Bowl or whatever, and I say, 56 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: you know, Dan Byer is great. Is radio lubricant. Okay, 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 4: all right? He makes everything feel and sound better. 58 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: I've told Dan that. I just I don't like it 59 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: when he's not on. I don't. I really, I agree. 60 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: When you're not here, Jason, obviously it's somebody less experience 61 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 1: than you, but can be a little bit. 62 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: Well, it's no disrespect to the people that come in. 63 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: It's just different because we've worked together for a long time. 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you also you also fill in some of 65 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: my weak spots. You're so you're good. But here here's 66 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: one that I wanted to propose. Okay, there's these conundrums 67 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: that you have and specifically have them when you travel, 68 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: and I wanted to throw one out to you guys. 69 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: So my son and I we were staying at a 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: hotel in North Conway, New Hampshire for the last couple 71 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: of days. And it was a suite okay, and one 72 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: room had the bed and it was like a queen bed. 73 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: It was nice, but the air wasn't really working. It 74 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: was working, but it wasn't cold. The other room air 75 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: was pumping, but it was a pull out couch, but 76 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: a pull out to a full bed. So which would 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: you choose? It's kind of a would you rather cool 78 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: air in a pullout or warmer air in a real 79 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: bed with a nice soft mattress and good sheets, or 80 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: we can do draft memories, dan Byra, lets you choose. 81 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 3: I've got some draft memories to tell you about. But 82 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: I would probably take the cool room. 83 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: We'll do draft memories, Jay su what room would you take? 84 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely go with the cooler environment every single time. 85 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, pull out beds are never really colortable. 86 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: Like you wake up and you're like, I have. 87 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: To go to a cap braa is this a throwback? 88 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 5: And I'm sorry I was doing something on my computer. 89 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 5: If you said this already, I apologize. This is a 90 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 5: throwback of that Seinfeld episode where Lane has to sleep 91 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,119 Speaker 5: on the pull out bed and there's it's so hot 92 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 5: and it's it's Jerry's parents condo or how down in 93 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 5: Florida and they have it like the AC set of 94 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 5: like eighty two, and she has to sleep on a 95 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 5: pull up bed where there's a bar sticking in her back. 96 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 5: She's she's getting awful sleep and it's too hot. 97 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: No, so this is either or oh, this is an 98 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: either or. This is either you have the bar stick 99 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: in your back or you're too hot, but not both. 100 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 5: I would take the cool room with a terrible uh 101 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 5: spot to sleep on, because yeah, the heat can just 102 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 5: drive you nuts. But you could you can maybe a 103 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 5: curl up into a ball, or you know, go switch 104 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 5: around so your feet or where your head would be 105 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 5: normally and just try to Well. 106 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: The other thing you can do is you shower right 107 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: before bed, and then you put on as little clothing 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: as possible and you get right into bed while you're 109 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: still cool. 110 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 6: That's true, that's true. 111 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 5: Then you yeah, you don't use any covers, no sheets, 112 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 5: You just lay in there, possibly in the nude. 113 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, buns buns up? Okay, favorite Jeff memories stand 114 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 1: by r go Jalen Roses suit. 115 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: No, there'd never be anything that the Michigan player drafted 116 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: ever upon Ever. I My whole point was, Jason said, 117 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 3: would you be interested or not if you were in 118 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: our industry? And I just don't think that there is 119 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 3: interest outside of this. ESPN's gonna put it on ABC 120 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 3: tonight because even if you're a sports fan, the NBA 121 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: draft isn't what we think it is. It's not drafting 122 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: the best players. And so when we were talking earlier, Doug, 123 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 3: when I named the All American team from nineteen ninety 124 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: two and how the five players that were on that team, 125 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: with four of them were the first four picks and 126 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: the other one was still a lottery pick. In twenty 127 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 3: twenty five, you have Jenni Broome, who maybe a second rounder, 128 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 3: Branden Smith's back at Purdue. Cooper Flagg's the only player 129 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: on there that we know. And I feel that it's 130 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 3: the problem of the NBA draft is if the NBA 131 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 3: draft actually just wanted to draft the best players, then 132 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: maybe they would, but they're looking for the potential, they're 133 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: looking for everything else around it, and there's no way 134 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: that transcends to anybody that's not in this business. Nobody 135 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 3: knows any of these players outside of Cooper Flag. Maybe 136 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: you know kan Kinneppel, but VJ. Edgecomb is one of 137 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: the better talents that you're going to see in the draft. 138 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: But I'm not sure how many people were sitting down 139 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: watching Baylor hoops this year, and your Rutgers example is 140 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 3: even stronger than what I have, So I just don't 141 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 3: think that there's any way that it transcends like it 142 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: did and watching You know, ninety two was my favorite 143 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: draft because that's when Jim Jackson got drafted. Unfortunately, looking back, 144 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: it was by the Dallas Mavericks, but still you know 145 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: that All American team it was It was Shack morning 146 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: Latner in JJ one, two, three, four, And you knew 147 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: those names in college hoops, and. 148 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 6: That's just not what. Now what college hoops and now 149 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 6: what the NBA is now? 150 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's plenty of time to get plenty 151 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: of time to get paid. But yeah, and now guys 152 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: are getting paid in college, so will will a higher 153 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: level of guys stay in college draft memories. I mean, 154 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: my first kind of breakthrough gig It ESPN was covering 155 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: the draft for Radio two thousand and three drafts and 156 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: neverget Lebron and walked in. He just looked different than 157 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: everybody else, not just facially, just in terms of what 158 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: the kids say. Aura. Yeah, he definitely had that aura. 159 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: That's my memory. 160 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: One of my favorite memories is when Bill Simmons got 161 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: so mad because he felt that teams were catering to 162 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: the heat and I think it was to get Shabbaz Napier. 163 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 3: I think I thought that was the was the deal, 164 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 3: but that that a trade was done to allow Napier 165 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 3: to go to the And I remember Bill Simmons getting 166 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 3: so mad because I feel the same way, and I 167 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 3: think a lot of us, maybe not a lot of us, 168 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: some of us feel the same way. With the Kansas 169 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: City Chiefs. Remember when the Bills traded last year, not 170 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: this past year, but the year before and allowed them 171 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 3: to get you know, Xavier Worthy, And we're like, man, 172 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 3: why would the Bills want to help the Chiefs? But 173 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 3: I remember Bill Simmons sitting on that set and saying 174 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: the exact thing, like, why would you want to help 175 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: the heat in stewing in that moment.

Yes, the last one I have, probably 192 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 5: the only one I have, is Keegan Murray going fourth 193 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 5: overall in twenty twenty two, because the prior last Iowa 194 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 5: guy before that to go in the first round was 195 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 5: Ricky Davis. 196 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: A sure, yeah, yeah, Ricky Davis is super tough. 197 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 5: Yes, Ricky Davis in nineteen eighty eight, so yeah, I don't. 198 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 3: I don't know. 199 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 6: I just didn't really pay attention to the NBA Draft 200 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 6: of the years. 201 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 5: But I was sitting in this wonderful pizza place in 202 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 5: Iowa City or around the Corralville, Io City border called 203 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 5: Wigan Penn and I saw Keegan Murray get taken and 204 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 5: that's what I remember. 205 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 6: That's about it. 206 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, Ja, Stu, you got any memories. 207 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: I remember Jerry West traded in nineteen ninety six, traded 208 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: Vade Devouts for the Hornets pick that ended up being 209 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 4: Kobe Bryant. That sticks out. I remember Steve Francis wasn't 210 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 4: very happy about going to Vancouver in that team ninety nine, 211 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 4: as he was visibly distraught that he had to go 212 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 4: to Vancouver. 213 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 3: That was funny as he was, he was not happy. 214 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 3: Then the year prior, the Bucks had the number one 215 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 3: pick and they won the lottery, And it's funny on 216 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: when you look back, and I still it was a 217 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 3: very good pick for them. But Grant Hill went three 218 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 3: to the Pistons, Jason Kidd went number two to the MAVs, 219 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: and the Bucks took Glenn Robinson number one. Glenn Robinson 220 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 3: was the player of the year in college basketball in 221 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four, it was a big deal, like huge, Yes, 222 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 3: he really. 223 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: Was huge deal, gigantic. But again to two, I think 224 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: it was your point, Dan, Earlier, college basketball as a 225 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: whole was so much bigger and the players were bigger 226 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: and they and we knew them, Yeah, we knew them. 227 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: Whereas now they are staying. But many of them are 228 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: staying and still going to other schools. And you're like, 229 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: know that guy, where do I know that guy from? Well, 230 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: he was at this school and he was at that school. 231 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: He was at this school, like I, so I don't 232 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: know him. It's very It's it's just hard. It's hard 233 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: for fans to keep up, and most fans don't care 234 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: to keep up, you know, like, yeah, I want to 235 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: see that kid as a freshman. I want to see 236 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: him as a sophomore or maybe as junior. I honestly, like, 237 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: I just think three years is better. It's never going 238 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: to get there now. I mean maybe it could, but 239 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: testin field that way. My proposal, I don't know if 240 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: I've told you guys this is I think NBA teams 241 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: should be allowed. They used to have a provision where 242 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: you could be drafted by an NBA team, they maintain 243 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: your rights, you go play in college? Why not? 244 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 6: Larry Bird? 245 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Larry Bird did it. 246 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of the if it's trivia of like 247 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 3: where was Larry Bird drafted? 248 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 6: You know he was? 249 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 4: Yeah? 250 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 5: Dan Field mean on that one. I didn't know that 251 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 5: he was drafted. Then he went back and then he 252 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 5: actually started the NBA that Yeah. 253 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 3: I think he was sixth overall in nineteen seventy eight. 254 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: I think that's what he was. Yep, we should bring 255 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 3: that back. 256 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, because there was so much crossover between NBA and 257 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 5: and then being like a semi pro in college. 258 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I'll tell you another idea. I have 259 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: you guys ready for it? I haven't. I haven't shared 260 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: this with anybody on air before. I have talked to 261 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: other coaches, are you guys familiar with and they do 262 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: it in soccer as well, with how players are loaned 263 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: out to other clubs. Yeah, yes, okay, I think that 264 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: should happen in college basketball. 265 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 6: Like, hey, I think you should happened to the NBA. 266 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, why not? Why not? Well, we want to maintain 267 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: his rights. He's young. We don't need like Oklahoma City 268 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: right now, okamis he has all these traffics, We draft 269 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: him and then we put him on loan. You play 270 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: for he plays for you for a couple of years 271 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: now and you can do whatever level. But uh, most 272 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: of them they stashed him overseas. But again for college basketball, like, 273 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: all right, you're not gonna be a freshman in play 274 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: at Wisconsin. You're not gonna be a freshman in play 275 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: at North Carolina. But if you have a worker relationship 276 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: with that coach, hey, you send him to us for 277 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: a year or two years, and then we send him 278 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: back to you. He's already you know, and then we 279 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: we negotiate how much of his compensation that we paid. 280 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: Why not. 281 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 3: Tyrese Maxi on loan from the Sixers to uh, you know, 282 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: to the Lakers. 283 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 6: Yeah would be great, Yeah, that would be magnificent. 284 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think other other draft Oh uh, I 285 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: remember what that year in two thousand and three, when 286 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: Indy Ebby was selected, David Curtin called him do. 287 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 3: Oh man, It's funny because I also look at I've 288 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: got there's so many Bucks stories, Doug. It was a 289 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 3: big deal in nineteen ninety one when the Bucks took 290 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: Todd Day and Lee Mayberry from Arkansas, so you had 291 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 3: like both of those players. I mentioned Glenn Robinson in 292 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four. Obviously the Day Mayberry era did not 293 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 3: work out since they were picking number one three years later, 294 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: but it was a big deal at that time. There 295 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: was college basketball carry over from the college game and 296 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: now into your home state team. That was a big deal. 297 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: It was definitely and Todd Day was maybe like picked 298 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: eighth or tenth, and Lee Mayberry was later in the 299 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 3: first round, but you were still excited about those players. 300 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 3: Now you get into the fifth pick and you're like, 301 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 3: who who did we take eighth? Even less, maybe there's 302 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 3: one or two players that kind of will be around 303 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 3: mid round picks that you'd be like, Okay, I remember 304 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 3: that name. 305 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 6: I know that name. 306 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: But picks five, six, and seven used to be just 307 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 3: as exciting as two, three, and four, but not anymore. 308 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: You remember Nicholaie's skittish Philly Oh yeah, yeah, I Couldn't 309 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: play Dead with a knife is back, and that is 310 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: a midway the midway. 311 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 312 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: the nation.

He's in 342 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: his not yet in his prime. Same thing here. What 343 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: do you think is behind the rash of high level 344 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: NBA players tearing their Achilles tennon? 345 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 7: I wish I know. I don't even I don't feel 346 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 7: knowledged enough to give an explanation as to why. You know, 347 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 7: I've seen people talk about the pace is faster than 348 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 7: it's ever been, and you know, I've seen other people 349 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 7: talk about the fact that guys don't wear high top 350 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 7: tennis shoes anymore, you know, So it could be a 351 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 7: number of different things, and honestly, I don't. I have 352 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,239 Speaker 7: no idea. I know even today, I still play at 353 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 7: fifty years old, and that's my one of my biggest fears. 354 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 7: And you see how much that can change the trajectory 355 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 7: of an organization. Like we saw Dame Lillard, we saw 356 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 7: Kevin Durant, Kevin Durant, we saw Theresa Holliburton. You know, 357 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 7: we saw Jason Tatum. And now you look at that 358 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 7: Boston team now as opposed to the way that Boston 359 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 7: team look when Jason Tatum ruptured his achilles. So it's 360 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 7: a it's a crazy injury, devastating injury. I wish I 361 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 7: could tell you, Doug, but I have no I have 362 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 7: no I don't feel knowledge enough to say the reason 363 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 7: in rationale as to why it's unfortunate. 364 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: Though it is unfortunate, but it's it's very, very honest. 365 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: Have you gotten a chance to see Cooper Flight play? 366 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 7: Yeah? 367 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: I think. 368 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 7: I love him. I love him, and you know the 369 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 7: thing for me though, for me, I've come to realize 370 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 7: I can't put too much into college basketball. And I'm 371 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 7: saying that respectfully because it's a totally different game. Because 372 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 7: I can give you a few guys off the top 373 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 7: of my head right now and ask you is this 374 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 7: the same guy you saw in college? And you'll tell 375 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 7: me no. Right, the talent hero that you see now 376 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 7: is that the Tyleer hero you saw in college? No, 377 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 7: dos As Harden you see now, is that the zans 378 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 7: Harden you saw in college? Right? The Devin Booker, the 379 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 7: Devin Booker, the Donovan Mitchell. Like, the thing is, guys 380 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 7: get better when they get to the league because it's open. 381 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 7: So a lot of times a guy skill set while 382 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 7: he's in college is somewhat boxed in. I feel like 383 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 7: when god get an opportunity to get to that next level, 384 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 7: then you can see a full array of who they 385 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 7: are on both sides of the basketball that I feel 386 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 7: in college you really don't get an opportunity to see it. 387 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: Yep, Yep, that is special. 388 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 7: He's special. 389 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: Though, what's the what's the high end? What's the low end? 390 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: In your mind? 391 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 7: For a Cooper? Like, I don't know because what that 392 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 7: is is that that involves comparison and contrast. And like 393 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 7: for me, do I think he's generational? I think he 394 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 7: has the ability to be generational. I do I think 395 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 7: he has the skill set to be generational. I think 396 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 7: he has the confidence to be generational. Now, what changed 397 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 7: my whole thought process is when I watched him play 398 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 7: against the Olympic team. And again you're gonna watch that 399 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 7: and say, well, maybe the guys on the Olympic team 400 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 7: weren't going, you know, like they were playing against France 401 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 7: in the gold medal games. But still, that young man 402 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 7: was seventeen years old. He was seventeen years old, not 403 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 7: yet a year removed from prom and he was out 404 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 7: there giving it guys, given it to guys. That's not 405 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 7: an easy thing to do. But a lot of this 406 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 7: league is about getting drafted to the right place, with 407 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 7: the right teammates, in the right situation, with the right coach. 408 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 7: And I think at this particular point in his career, 409 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 7: I think Dallas is a great place for him to 410 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 7: get drafted. 411 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: And I agree he doesn't have to you know, people 412 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: make it out of his offense and what he doesn't 413 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: have to carry the team. But you have Anthony Davis. 414 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: They just resigned Daniel Gafford right like, they're gonna be 415 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: really good so he doesn't have to go down. Yeah, 416 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 1: they have rim protection. He's gonna be a four, you know, 417 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: a three, four. I have to you know, guard guards 418 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: as well, but he can use his size and his 419 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: long arms to be super effective. I'm with you on 420 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: on all that, all of it. Okay, So Oklahoma City 421 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: wins the championship. As we told people, you cover the Pelicans, 422 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: you also do NBA radio. Uh. You have people who 423 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: will say this team is not nearly as good as 424 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 1: many of the championship teams of yesteryear. What would your 425 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: retort be? 426 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 7: I mean, and I mean this respectfully. Who cares like 427 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 7: it doesn't? I mean, it doesn't matter because they don't 428 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 7: have to play those championship teams. 429 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 4: Like. 430 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 7: The thing is, people have a hard time in this 431 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 7: generation of basketball talk, in a basketball culture saying anybody 432 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 7: that's playing today is the best fill in the blank 433 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 7: of all time. 434 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: I I don't, I don't. I don't think so tell 435 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: I disagree people think like Look, I mean, look, there's 436 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: there'll always be a healthy debate over Lebron and and 437 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: Michael Steph Curry is the greatest shooter of all time? Right? 438 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 7: Do you know how many people that have combated that? 439 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 7: You know, I mean, I'm talking about people that are 440 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 7: on your network, People that are on your network that 441 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 7: I join weekly that will say Steph Curry is not 442 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 7: the greatest shooter of all time? 443 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: Who is? 444 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 7: I've always said, yes, I've always said I don't even 445 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 7: think that's debatable. I don't think it's debatable. But I'm 446 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 7: wrong because it's debatable because there are other people out 447 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 7: there that disagree. 448 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: I think the point is and I had I had 449 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: a great discussion with somebody from the Bucks yesterday and 450 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: they we were talking about whether or not you know, 451 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: the Bucks uh trade Giannis start over And they were like, 452 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: it's actually, I don't want to say easier, but there's 453 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: more parody than ever. It's it's not that hard to 454 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: put yourself in the conference finals if you could have 455 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: a really good in the East, well even in the West, 456 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: a man Bro the Warriors, the Warriors aren't. Warriors aren't 457 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: good anymore. The Lakers aren't good anymore. The Nuggets have 458 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: no bench, and they were but well, hold on, I 459 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: didn't get to the caveat the caveat was you gotta 460 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: have you know, one of these star players. But you also, 461 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: it's so much of it's about health and luck, you know, 462 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: with than anything else. You know, do you think this 463 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: this era of parody remains. 464 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 7: See, I think it remains because the CBA, the way 465 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 7: it's constructed now, it's not really set up for teams 466 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 7: to have dynasty. You know, I've seen this CBA referred 467 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 7: to as the dynasty killer because if you look at 468 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 7: the way it's constructed, it's not set up for teams 469 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 7: to to have sustain long term success like we saw 470 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 7: in Golden State, like we saw in San Antonio, you know, 471 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 7: some of the some of the dynasties that we've seen, Like, 472 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 7: think about it, Boston. Think about how Boston looked entering 473 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 7: this year, right entering this season, sure, right now, how 474 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 7: they mcnow, how like things change in a heartbeat because 475 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 7: of this new CBA. Well, I'm that teams are trying 476 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 7: to stay under I'll push Oklahoma City, I'll. 477 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: Only push back on you with the Warriors because of this. 478 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: One of the things that allowed the Warriors to sustain 479 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: their success longer was Steph Curry's second contract was because 480 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: because because he had all the ankle injuries, he didn't 481 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: have a huge sex he didn't have a huge second contract. 482 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 7: So, but Doug, but Dub, the reason that this CBA 483 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 7: is even in play now is because of the Warriors. 484 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: Right because they could go into that second tax and 485 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: still and still find ways they pay the tax and 486 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: still find a way to survive. 487 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 7: Right. 488 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 489 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 7: So it's it's like, we look at Oklahoma City right now, 490 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 7: is what they did this year sustainable for five years? 491 00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 7: Six years? 492 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: Uh? Probably only because they're uniquely positioned because of all 493 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: those draft picks, right right. 494 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 7: But the thing is DoD like, it's gonna come a 495 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 7: point like what people what I feel like gets lost 496 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 7: here when we have the discussions about this is chemistry. 497 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 7: I feel like it's the most underrated and undervalued aspect 498 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 7: in the NBA. 499 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna come in in basketball, no question in basketball, 500 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: I agree with you. 501 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 7: For sure, for sure. So it's gonna come a point 502 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 7: where teams come knocking for Lou Dorg and teams teams 503 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 7: come knocking for Aaron Wiggins, and teams come knocking for 504 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 7: Isaiah Joe And you know what the average fani saying, 505 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 7: Oh man, you can find somebody to do what they do. 506 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 7: But what you're not taking into consideration is the chemistry 507 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 7: of the role, definition and understanding that these guys had 508 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 7: that led to an NBA championship. Because there are guys 509 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 7: outside of Jake Goods, Alexander and Jay and Ted Holgern, 510 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 7: outside of Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Thruso that are going 511 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 7: to need to be taken Cara financially. 512 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: Yep, no. I mean Cruso is the perfect example, right, 513 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: and the Lakers didn't valued enough, but he was a glue. 514 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: He was a glue piece when they won the COVID Championship. 515 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,719 Speaker 1: Last thing circling back to Antonio dan is joining US 516 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: NBA Radio Plus. He's the color analyst for the New 517 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: Orleans Pelicans. He joins us in the Doug Gotlieb Show 518 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. What percentage of people know the 519 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 1: NBA Draft went to two days, Well, I feel. 520 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 7: Like a lot of people would know simply because of 521 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 7: last year's because they felt like it would put off 522 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 7: for Bronnie. That's what it felt like. It felt like 523 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 7: the only reason it went to two days is because 524 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 7: Bronnie James. People were looking to see if and where 525 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,239 Speaker 7: Bronnie James would end up. I'm interested to see how 526 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 7: much traction it gets this year on the second day 527 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 7: when Bronnie James is not there. 528 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think very much. Agrees, don't I 529 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: just don't. I just don't. I think it's one of 530 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: those oh the NFL's do we gotta do it? Like 531 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: yeah you no, no, no. 532 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 7: No, I'm not a fan of it. I am not 533 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 7: a fan of it. Mean, I am not a fan 534 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 7: of it all. 535 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: And look I did, I did, I think twelve NBA drafts, 536 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: twelve NBA drafts on ESPN Radio, and then I did 537 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: a couple. We did some stuff when I was at CBS. 538 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: And the second round does move fast and furious, and 539 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: you don't know who's going to wear because guys are 540 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: are actually traded before their draft and all the other stuff. 541 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: But to have a whole other day, I don't, I 542 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: don't really get. 543 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 7: I'll tell you what, though, Doug, it's gonna be a 544 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 7: it seems like for what everything that we're here and 545 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 7: it's supposed to be a pretty busy night around the league, 546 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 7: it will. 547 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: Be a pretty big It will be a pretty pretty 548 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: big last thing. Kevin Garnett, Kevin Kevin gart Kevin Durant 549 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: in Houston. How does that work? 550 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 7: Well? You know, for me, I'm gonna be honest with you, Doug. 551 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 7: I love Kevin Durant. He's one of my favorite players 552 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 7: to watch play. I am just not on board with 553 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 7: teams going big game honey anymore, where's the last team 554 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 7: to win? Where's the last team where that paid off? Right? 555 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 7: Because if you look at the pieces that are needed 556 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 7: to win, it's guys like Isaiah Hartenstein. It's guys like 557 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 7: Alice Caruso's, guys like Drew Holliday's, guys like Derek White, 558 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 7: Guys like PJ.

Do you think there was a 620 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 3: bobblehead today?

But I'll check it to see if there's 624 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 4: a promotion today. I put it this way. 625 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 3: I was so steadfast in my belief I didn't even 626 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 3: bother to look. And I am not wavering. I'm saying 627 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 3: that they came out because this was hype. This is 628 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 3: actually in yesterday's game. I saw people tweeting, yeah, but 629 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 3: wait till wait till tomorrow showdown by the way Brewers 630 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 3: Radio Network with that call. But it is a good 631 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 3: thing to have now young stars. We know Paul Skeins, 632 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 3: but Miserowski's been magnificent since being called up earlier this year. 633 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 3: He could also be a possible star in the making. 634 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 3: No promotions today, No, no promotions, Doug, there, it is 635 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 3: nothing free, no freebies.

I just say that's amazing. 640 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 3: I think it's a good sign. I think it's a 641 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 3: really good sign for Major League Baseball. This was not 642 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 3: a good sign. And I know you guys did a 643 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 3: deep dive on the pod that's going to go live 644 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 3: here in a few minutes. But Major League Baseball did 645 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 3: suspend the twenty two year old fan who yelled an 646 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 3: insensitive comment about the late mother of Diamondbacks all star 647 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 3: could Tell Marte during last night's game, suspended indefinitely. 648 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 6: Is that fan? 649 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, again, if he knew I were something, 650 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: this guy knew what he was talking about. 651 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I would, I would think so. I did 652 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 3: not know the backstory behind I could Tell Marte and 653 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 3: what happened to his mother in twenty seventeen. So whoever 654 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 3: yelled it obviously had to do some sort of research 655 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,720 Speaker 3: sure and figuring out what was happening, which takes effort, 656 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 3: which even makes it worse. It's not just a flipping 657 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 3: thing that maybe was publicly known. I don't know how 658 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 3: you would know that and then feel the need. 659 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: To yell it. 660 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 3: But for those that missed it last night brought to tears. 661 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 3: I know you guys get deeper on it in the podcast, 662 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 3: but Marte had to be consoled by his teammates and 663 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 3: Skipper Tory Leavello. Yeah, just a tough scene, but that 664 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 3: fan suspended definitely. 665 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, ugly, ugly stuff. But I mean again, my whole 666 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: thing is, I just think we empower people that shouldn't 667 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: be empowered by even mentioning tweets on TV shows, you know, 668 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: putting them up on screen on some of these you know, 669 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 1: daily Hollywood shows like Oh Jennifer Aniston has upset so 670 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: many people, and they put some random Twitter like cares. 671 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 3: I will say this though, to bring someone to tears 672 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 3: is is a pretty pretty heavy visual. And if there's 673 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 3: going to be a deterrent, I would think that the 674 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 3: human nature in some or maybe people who were borderline 675 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 3: on whether they would do something like that, seeing something 676 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,760 Speaker 3: like that would be I think something to move someone 677 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 3: to not do that. Now, there's maybe always the point 678 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 3: one percent that's there's no problem with it, but I 679 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know how you cannot be affected 680 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 3: by seeing him get emotional when when that happened last night, 681 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 3: and I think that could be a deterrent. 682 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,479 Speaker 1: I just yeah, I just don't know what. I don't 683 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: know what was said. You know, it was a random 684 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: passing comment like your your mom and then yeah, but 685 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: it does sound like he was pointed and directed. But 686 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: I also do like. 687 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 6: I don't think we need to give the fan any 688 00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 6: in all of this. 689 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's go to the next one. 690 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, Houston Rocket signed guard Fred van Vlietz a new 691 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 3: two year deal worth fifty million dollars. The team declined 692 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 3: his player option that was worth almost forty five million, 693 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 3: but back in Houston on a two year deal. 694 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: So it's a two year deal for fifty and he 695 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,959 Speaker 1: had a one year deal for forty. 696 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, for forty five. That was a team option. 697 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, good, good. He was overpaid. And he's you know, 698 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: he's gotten this point where he just shoots threes, but 699 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, now he can be probably you know, a 700 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 1: third option with Shenguin and with Kevin Durant, Like, I 701 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,319 Speaker 1: don't hate it. And then he got Thompson who's going 702 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: to come into his own as a great defender. Don't 703 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: hate it. 704 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 3: Texas State's leaving the Sun Belt for the Pac twelve. 705 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 3: The addition of Texas State now gives that conference eight 706 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,720 Speaker 3: football playing members, and that's the press. 707 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,720 Speaker 1: May get out there and pressed. 708 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 2: That was the press. 709 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: Because nothing says new pack like Texas State, right, new 710 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: pack like Texas State. Just a bizarre world. Yeah, Cooper 711 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: Flag's gonna go number one. I think he's gonna be 712 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: really good. I kind of think he compares to Kevin Garnett. 713 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 1: We'll discuss tomorrow
