1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. Made it to a 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: Thursday gangs. Oh here ready to go? What a strange night. 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Will dive into the NBA Draft, Clay Thompson's injury Thursday 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: Night Football coming up the Cardinals and the Seahawks Age 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: seven seven three d P Show Email address DP at 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot Com, Twitter handle a DP show. Say 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: good morning to our great radio affiliates around the world, 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: numbering three hundred and seventy and also our TV partner Peacock. 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: You can download the app and watch for three all 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: three hours. Cardinals Seahawks is a crucial NFC West game tonight, 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: but I think the narrative is going to be about 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. It's Kyler Murray versus Russell Wilson. It's about 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: the short, dynamic quarterback revolution. And get ready for a 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: graphic comparing Kyler and Russell to guys like Doug Flutie 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: and fran Tarkington and of course Drew Brees. You know, 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: it used to be the prototypical draft pick at that position, 18 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: the six four gun slinger, usually going number one in 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: the draft. But you have this new wave of quarterbacks, 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: and they do things differently, Murray and Wilson leading the 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: charge there. They make plays out of the pocket. What's 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: even more remarkable about Drew Brees is he's barely six 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: feet tall and he's a pocket quarterback, So that sort 24 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: of blows away everything that you got to be six 25 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: four six five to see over the lineman. And he's 26 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't use his legs either to extend 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: a play or to get some big yardage there. But 28 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: tonight it'll be a lot of fun. Kyler Murray and 29 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson with a lot at stake here. This is 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: a huge game for Seattle. Can't afford to lose another 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: one to Arizona. But the showdown should be one of 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: the more entertaining ones of the year. But Seattle hosting Arizona, 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 1: and I do believe on Friday morning, if Kyler Murray 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: happens to win this game, Kyler Murray will emerge as 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: the MVP favorite guaranteed. Just feels like that's going to happen, 36 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: because after every game it's a referendum on who's the 37 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: MVP right now. Like if Ben doesn't have a good game, 38 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: is next game or has a great game is next 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: game and they win. Hey, you know Ben should be 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: in the top three if Russ has a great game, 41 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Yeah, Russell is still the 42 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: MVP candidate, the leading one perhaps. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes is 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: just going hello, anybody, anybody notice what I'm doing over here? Nope, 44 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: not right now. They're not mclub And I'll have a 45 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: poll question. Do you have a poll question right now? 46 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: You have a question right now? Well, what if Patrick Mahomes, 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: who's angry at the Raiders throw its nine touchdowns on Sunday? 48 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: Can Kyler Murray Russell Wilson be the MVP on Friday 49 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: and then on Monday we come in and give it 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: to Patrick Mahomes. Is it that game to game? It 51 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: feels like it is because this has become a thing 52 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: for shows. It didn't used to be a thing week 53 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: to week where we go who's the MVP. Now we 54 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: do that with the Heisman. I understand that, but this 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: a very slow Heisman year. It feels like we've taken 56 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: all that energy, all that attention that we give with 57 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: the Heisman week to week, and then we've attached it 58 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: to the NFL. I get it. Look we're all trying 59 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: to fill up time. When we do these shows. You 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: just hope that you can add something to it. When 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: you have a topic like this with Kyler Murray and 62 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: this would be once again that second year quarterback. We 63 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: saw that with Mahomes, we saw it with Lamar Jackson, 64 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: and you had people who are hedging their bets of 65 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Kyler Murray. Murray seems like he's the 66 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: real deal, but he should be. He's the number one 67 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. I like how people are surprised 68 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: when somebody goes, man, he's really good. He should be. 69 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: He's the number one pick in the draft, unless it's 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: the NBA draft, and then you go, can Anthony Edwards 71 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: be a great player? I don't know. I like this philosophy. 72 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: Last night and I was asked the question of who 73 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: do you think is going to go number one? And 74 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: I said, the fact that I'm not sure tells you 75 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: there's not a number one pick overall in this draft. 76 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: We didn't have Zion Williamson. Now there's no Lebron. You 77 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: had some players who can play, probably play right away, 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: but I don't know if there's any star quality. I 79 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: think LaMelo Ball has star capability, but that's because of 80 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: social media. I mean, he's got close to six million 81 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: followers right now, and he's a point guard who hadn't 82 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: even played in the United States in a couple of years. 83 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 1: But he goes to the Hornets with Michael Jordan. Michael 84 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: Jordan reportedly was interested in Russell Westbrook if they didn't 85 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,559 Speaker 1: get LaMelo Ball, and they got him, and that sets 86 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: up the ultimate showdown, LaVar Ball versus Michael Jordan. There's 87 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: no excuses now when dad comes to visit son, when 88 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: Jordan the owner is there, we play one on one. 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what's at stake. How about if I 90 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: beat you? You're not allowed back in North Carolina ever again. 91 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: You can't see a home game with your son. But 92 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: now it's real. I love the irony of that. You 93 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: know that here is his dad calling out Michael Jordan, 94 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: and his dad average two points a game in college, 95 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: and he's gonna back Jordan down as if he's the 96 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: only guy that ever thought of backing Jordan down. I'm 97 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: gonna back Jordan down, and I'm gonna shoot little baby 98 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: hooks over him. He'd better not miss that jumper. Okay, 99 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: I loved it though, but I like the pick. I 100 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: like LaMelo ball, I do the Knicks maybe didn't screw 101 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: things up. They got Obie Toppin from my alma mater, Dayton, 102 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: and by all accounts, great kid from the area and 103 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: was emotional about going to Then at first I thought 104 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: he was going he was crying because he was going 105 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: to the Knicks, and that wasn't the case. Here's obi 106 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: Toppin going to the Knicks and why it's a big 107 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: deal to him. I'm from New York. That's why it's important. Me, me, 108 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: me repping my city is it's amazing. A lot of 109 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 1: people pray to me in this position. I'm not gonna 110 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: take him for granted. I promise you that. Yeah, that's great. 111 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: By all accounts, he's a very interesting prospect here. A 112 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: lot of athleticism can run. You know, you developed that 113 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: mid range jumper, maybe a little deeper than that, and 114 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: maybe the Knicks finally did it right here in the draft. Yes, 115 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: Paullly Daniel kind of bearing the lead. My bulls got 116 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Williams of Florida State. Hey, you here about that. 117 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you brought it up because when Patrick 118 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: Williams went to the Bulls. I think Paully sent out 119 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: a tweet or mclovin did or text and like who. 120 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Williams was taken fourth overall by the Bulls. He 121 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: was sixth Man of the Year in one season at 122 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: Florida State Board winner coming off the bench and every again. 123 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: He's the first college player taken in the top five 124 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: who never started a game in college groundbreaking since Dion 125 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: Waiters of Syracuse back in twenty twelve. That was actually 126 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: the best question of the night in the interview, Like, 127 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: how do you think that's going to impact you as 128 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: a in the NBA, that you've never started a game before? 129 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: We got our guy. We wanted a guy who's never 130 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: started a game before we got our six man got him. 131 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: Like the Bulls should be getting somebody who starts for them. 132 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: Anybody could do that, Dan, You're right, your counter. You know, 133 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: the poor was probably in the shower, still getting ready 134 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: for the draft and the suit on. You knew who 135 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: I felt bad for. Who's the kid from Seaton Hall Powell? Oh, 136 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: Miles Powell, Oh, oh man, that's unfortunate. That's where he 137 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: got all dressed up. It looked like he had, you know, 138 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars worth of bling on great Look 139 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: and watch, got a suit on first round goes By, 140 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: second round goes By. He's a good player, but he 141 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: didn't get drafted. What what's that like? Though? If you say, 142 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: you gather some fa Emily members and you're watching, he 143 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: had a whole production going. Yeah, he had a big thing. 144 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: It was such an awkward night. It just was from 145 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: the broadcast and zooming trades. But you can't announce the 146 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: trade and then you talk to somebody who they've been traded, 147 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: but you can't bring up the trade because of the 148 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: NBA and the NBA Players Association or whatever it is. 149 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they got to fix the draft if they 150 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: want us to care about the draft in real time. 151 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: Because I just went to social media after a while 152 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: because I'm going, wait, he's been traded, and then they're going, so, 153 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: how do you feel about going to Oklahoma City? And 154 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: then meanwhile you're going, he got traded. John Calipari called out. 155 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: Somebody said, no, he's not gone there, He's going to 156 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: the Knicks. But it was happening and everybody knew it. 157 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: But ESPN has to play the game. It's like when 158 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: we'd watch the NFL Draft and somebody has to put 159 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: on a hat and they go, so, what do you 160 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: think about, you know, going to Carolina? Well, you know, 161 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: I really love Carolina and I met with that. Meanwhile, 162 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: like two minutes later, he's going to put on another 163 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: hat because he knows that he's been traded. But it 164 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: it was a bizarre night. But it really started with 165 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson. So this is ninety minutes before the draft started, 166 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: and we started to get word that Klay Thompson got 167 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: hurt lower leg. Now I didn't know if it was 168 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: the same one that he had the knee surgery on 169 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: it was not, and then it was just lower leg. 170 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: And then I started to read a couple of things 171 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: and then I realized that this was probably a serious injury. 172 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: But they said lower leg, and I'm thinking, okay, at 173 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: least it's not the knee. And then I realized, did 174 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: he break his foot or was it the Achilles? We 175 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: don't know the severity of it, but it feels like 176 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: according to reports that and Mark Stein, who covers the 177 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: NBA for the New York Times, while Jonah is coming up, 178 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: feels like it's the Achilles I was really looking forward 179 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: to Golden State kind of you know, reconnecting the great players. 180 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: Even if you don't like Golden State, you do have 181 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: to love the way they play, and you know that 182 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: that's a great group of talented players. To see Steph 183 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: there with Clay, two of the greatest shooters of all time. 184 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: We didn't get to have that last year. You know, 185 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: Clay is going to miss another year. If that's the case. 186 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: With the Achilles Draymond green Back, they draft James Wiseman. 187 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't know where he fits. I did think Golden 188 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: State was going to draft LaMelo Ball because LaMelo Ball. 189 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: Steph Curry can play two guard, he can play off 190 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: the ball, and you have LaMelo. If that's the case, 191 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: he'd be running the point. But they stayed with who 192 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: I think they were. They penciled. This is not a 193 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: position a time where you panic. And I give Golden 194 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: State credit. They were locked in on who they wanted 195 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: and they took him, and they got James Wiseman there. 196 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: But what a bizarre night. And I'd just you know, 197 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: it really bothered me last night that that news about 198 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: Klay Thompson. Even today, I mean, it kind of shook 199 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: me you know, you just go, God, I can't. I 200 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: just can't believe it. And you see these athletes and 201 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: they you know, Teddy Bridgewater, we thought his career was over. 202 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson got injured his second year, and you just 203 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: we want to see great players have that opportunity to 204 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: be great again. Alex Smith. They're just times when we 205 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: look at them as things and then you forget to 206 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: look at them as people. And that's the way it 207 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: hit me hard last night. With Klay Thompson, I just 208 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: I like him. I've known his dad for probably thirty 209 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: five years. You know, Clay wasn't highly recruited, went to 210 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: Washington State. We weren't quite sure about him. I remember 211 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb giving me the intel on him. You know 212 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: that the label was soft, and you know, could he 213 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: make it to the next level be a great player? 214 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: And then he came in and found the ideal situation. 215 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he's textbook, he really is. If you're teaching basketball, 216 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: Clay Thompson moves without the ball. He's as good as 217 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: shooters we've ever seen. He plays great defense, and he's 218 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: no maintenance there. You know, Steve Kurt talks about all 219 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: the time. There's no maintenance there with him. He just 220 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: goes out and he plays, and I'll miss him. They 221 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: really really will. It's such a shame. All right, Well, 222 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: come up with a poll question here. By the way, 223 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: this program brought to you by one eight hundred Flowers. 224 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: You can deliver all the feels of Thanksgiving beautiful bouquets 225 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: and arrangements. To order, go to one eight hundred flowers 226 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: dot com. See the radio icon there, enter code Patrick. 227 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: You are good to go, and you will be the 228 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: star of Thanksgiving, even if you can't be there in person. Yes, mcleovan, 229 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: I have two Kyler Murray poll questions. Okay, the fresh 230 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: one is impossible to answer. But right now, whose future 231 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: would you want? Kyler Murray or Lamar Jackson. I'm gonna 232 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: go Kyler Murray. But the only reason why I say 233 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: this is what I said prior to everybody piling on 234 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. And that was his scout told me earlier 235 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: this year. There are still football people who aren't sold 236 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson. Whether that's fair or not. I'm only 237 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: telling you what an NFL scout told me earlier this year. 238 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: And this wasn't when Lamar was struggling. It was because 239 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: I forget who the Ravens were playing. And then I 240 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: asked this question. I was asking a couple of questions 241 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: because he's great with his information on you know, some 242 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: of these players. And he said, what's the consensus on 243 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: Lamar after winning the MVP unanimously? And he goes, not 244 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: everybody's sold on him, believe it or not. And I go, really, 245 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: so that I wasn't looking for confirmation, like, yeah, I 246 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: told you, Lamar Jack, I picked Baltimore to go to 247 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, so I certainly believe in what I see. 248 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: I think Kyler Murray is a better thrower. Lamar might 249 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: be a better runner. He's bigger, he might be faster. 250 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: He's not quicker, but he might be faster. Top ends me. 251 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: But Kyler avoids hits and he can throw the football, 252 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: and that to me is a big difference here between 253 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: these two. They're both high end, but I think Kyler 254 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: there might be a higher ceiling for Kyler because he 255 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: can throw. He has you know, he can throw down field, 256 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: he can throw the deep ball, and there's always going 257 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: to be that question with Lamar is he one of 258 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: those I'm going to kill you with precision passing. Now 259 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the weapons that Kyler has. Now that 260 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: wide receiving corps in Baltimore is not very good. And 261 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: maybe if he has something at full strength or something 262 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: that resembles full strength, I might feel differently. But I 263 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: would say, Kyler Murray, what else do you have in cluvin? 264 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: If you're Kyler Murray, would you try to add baseball 265 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: to your resume? Starting? Like? Now, is this a real story? 266 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: He said it on an interview, right, He said, yeah, 267 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: I still love baseball. It's something that I'm not ruling out. Okay, 268 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: But Anthony Edwards said, hey, I really love football, Like 269 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: is this the same thing? Oh? He doesn't, So are 270 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: we gonna go Kyler Murray doesn't really love football. He 271 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: wants to play baseball. That's what we do. Of course 272 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna say that. And by the way, I watched 273 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: it that he had words piece on ESPN, I'm like, 274 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: that dude wants to play football. What's he doing play basketball? Yeah? Yeah, Um, 275 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: I always got the SATs. Lebron wants to play football too, 276 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: By the way, I get, you always want what you 277 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: don't have. The grass is green. You know what when 278 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: guys say that all you gotta do is get hit 279 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: once in football, and you go, no, I don't want 280 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: to play football. Football is one of those okay baseball 281 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: when you see a curveball or a slider and then 282 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: you go, no, I don't want I don't want to 283 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: play baseball. For me, it's a fastball like one hundred 284 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: mile coming at you, like if I'm like a high 285 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: school athlete, I want nothing to do with that fastball. 286 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: I never worried about. It's that curveball when I put 287 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: my foot in the bucket, Like my foot was halfway 288 00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: down third base and I'm like, whoo, fastball didn't No, 289 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: I didn't concern me. But the curveball was just not fair. 290 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: And that's where you go, no, I don't want to 291 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: play baseball. Like there's certain positions that humble you. It 292 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: feels like when you get to the plate in baseball, 293 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: you can get it humbled because you can't hide. At 294 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: least in a team sport you can sort of hide, 295 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: you know. It's the quarterback. Yeah. See when you're pitching 296 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: in a baseball game and you're getting absolutely shelled and 297 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: it's like the third inning and you're like this sucks. 298 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: Just take me out already, and managers just looking at you. Ahead, buddy, 299 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: and throw another one at crap. This sucks and you 300 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: can't hide. No, you're just out there and guys are 301 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: hitting lasers right over your noggin? Yeah, what else do 302 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: you have in c love? And then we'll take a break. Okay, 303 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: this is mean, but well then to hold off there. 304 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: It's a mean NBA draft question. But we don't know 305 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: who these guys are, and I want to give you 306 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: some examples. Okay, because Mark Stein, who covers the NBA 307 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: for the New York Times, who's going to join us? 308 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: But we can ask that that. I can ask Mark 309 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: Stein the mean spirited question, yeah, because he might have 310 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: an answer that we don't know about. Okay, all right, 311 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: we'll take a break here, just getting started.

Yes, So Sophia Lillis, 358 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: who plays Beverly in the movie It on Amazon Music. 359 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: It's called that scene with Dan Patrick. All right, the 360 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: mean spirited poll question. Then we get to Mark Stein 361 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: in the New York Times. What was a pick where 362 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: you said, wait, who is this guy? Was? At number four? 363 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: With Patrick Williams? Number ten for Jalen Smith, who was 364 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: like twenty fifth in most marks, Devin Vessel to the 365 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: Spurs at eleven, Aaron desm fourteen to the Celtics, or 366 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: I could go on, but Josh Green eighteen to the Mavericks. 367 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: At what point? And you know more of college hips 368 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: than the rest of us, did you say who Patrick Williams? 369 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: Because he went number four and he didn't start at 370 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: Florida State. And I know Florida State had a lot 371 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: of talent, but I would think if you're going fourth overall, 372 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: I know Dion Waiters. I don't know if Devin Booker 373 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,479 Speaker 1: ever started a game at Kentucky, but Patrick Williams at 374 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: least I knew who Devin Booker was. Patrick Williams, I went, 375 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: okay to the Bulls? Is he going to start for 376 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: the Bulls? I was curious about that as well. I 377 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: bring in Mark Stein, New York Times NBA writer, Mark, 378 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: what was the moment where you went what or who? 379 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: Last night? Yeah, I think mclovin should know more of 380 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: those names. Those all should not be shocking to him. 381 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: But Jalen Smith at ted for sure. I mean that 382 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: allowed Haliburton to slip, and that was that was definitely 383 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: a surprise. But the william was going at four, that 384 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: that was bubbling. That was bubbling well in advance of 385 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: the draft actually starting last night. But it's also indicative 386 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: of what kind of draft this was. I mean you 387 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: had Minnesota and Golden State really looking hard to find 388 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: trade down to get more when you know when now 389 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: type of players, and they couldn't find those trades. So, uh, 390 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: number four probably is a good spot to to to 391 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: take a risk on a guy with a lot of 392 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: upside like Williams, who, like you, as you said, he 393 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: didn't didn't start at all in college. But the Bulls 394 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: and a lots of teams think that he has the 395 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: upside that that justifies him there. But it was a 396 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: weird night. I don't want to be I don't want 397 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: to be so downbeat about it, but when you get 398 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: that Clay Thompson news right before the path. I mean 399 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 1: that's that it's already a virtual draft, which is just 400 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: I mean, as as well as you can do a broadcast. Wise, 401 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: it's just not going to be nearly the same. So 402 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: it's already the weirdest draft we've ever seen. And then 403 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: to get that kind of news was that shook the 404 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: league and not in a good way. Do we have 405 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: an update on Clay Thompson and can you set the 406 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: scene where he was playing this pickup game, who he 407 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: was playing with. Well, we'll get the update, the firm 408 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: update today. But all the rumbles coming out are you know, 409 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: concern of the highest degree. I mean, he was he 410 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: was basically playing a pickup game in downtown LA. And 411 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: guys are looking for those kind of games right now because, 412 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: let's face it, the season is upon us. It's upon 413 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: guys a lot faster than they expected. You know, in 414 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: the bubble, the word was, hey, the season might start, 415 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: might not start until February, it might not even start 416 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: until March, and now it's starting before Christmas. And Clay 417 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: Thompson has been out a long time and he was 418 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: playing pickup ball, and it's just it's i mean, you 419 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: saw the reaction of fellow pros last fighting. He is 420 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: so well respected and so well liked, and you know, 421 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: guys on other teams are taking it as a crushing 422 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: blow to hear how serious this injury could be. We 423 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: don't have the full confirmation, but obviously it doesn't sound good. 424 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: I wondered if Golden State was going to alter their 425 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: draft strategy when they got the news about Clay Thompson. 426 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: Do you know if there was any thought of maybe 427 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: changing up and not taking James Wiseman. Well, Bob Meyers 428 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: did acknowledge that they thought about it for a second, 429 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: but look at it happened way too late. And let's 430 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: be honest, in the modern draft, who were you going 431 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: to find that can plug in next season to even 432 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: come close to replicating what Klay Thompson does. It's impossible. Well, 433 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: I was thinking that I put Steph as the off 434 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: guard and I have LaMelo Ball running my point. Now, No, 435 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: I mean because you can't. I mean, you can't make 436 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: that dramatic of it of a decision in the matter 437 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: of hours. I think the Warriors did draped right. They 438 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: need size, they need athleticism. Wiseman is who they wanted 439 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: if they kept the pick. That's the way it materialized. 440 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: And you know, I do think we have to remember 441 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: this is this is the state of the NBA drafts 442 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: at this point. You know, if three or four rookies 443 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: make a real impact next season, that's a lot like you. 444 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: I don't think you can react to an injury in 445 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: real time like that and change course. The top draft prospect, 446 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: number one pick, Anthony Edwards, kind of shook things up 447 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: a little bit when he said he would prefer to 448 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: be drafted in the NFL. I don't did this change 449 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: anybody's opinion of Anthony Edwards and his desire to want 450 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: to be a great NBA player. I think it changed 451 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: a lot of opinions in the punditry and has a 452 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: lot of people scratching their heads, and certainly something he's 453 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: going to be asked about and be asked to explain 454 00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: as his NBA career unfold. But it didn't dissuade Minnesota 455 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: and the Wolves. The Wolves were in a tough spot. 456 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: This was a draft with no no one that teams 457 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: considered a franchise cornerstone. Not like what we were looking 458 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: at a year ago when you got Zion Williamson and 459 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: John Morant at the top of the draft, and those 460 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: teams are just so thrilled to get their guy. You know. Positionally, 461 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: Edwards fits the best of the players who were at 462 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: the top of this draft, but I mean, there are 463 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: there are question marks about him. So you know, Minnesota 464 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: tried everything it could to construct a deal trade down 465 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: see if they could get someone who they considered, you know, 466 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: more along the timeline of Karl Anthony Towns and DeAngelo Russell, 467 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: who it's time for those guys to win. They couldn't 468 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: find it. But look, they did make the trade to 469 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: bring back Ricky Rubio, and Rubio had a really good 470 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: season in Phoenix. Phoenix was happy with Ricky Rubio. But 471 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 1: obviously you get the chance to trade for Chris Paul 472 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: going to do that. But so Minnesota made the move 473 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: to bring Rubio back. Let's, you know, let's see how 474 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: how he and Russell fit together. But yeah, I was 475 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I was not envious of Minnesota's position having 476 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: to pick number one out of this group. I loved 477 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: what Philadelphia did last night. I don't know if it's strategy, 478 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: but it's just basketball roster strategy. Recap what they did. 479 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: Mark what it is, well, Darryl Moorey, I mean that 480 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: was that was the other pre draft Thunderbolt that Darryl 481 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: Moorey found a way to move Al Horford, which before 482 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: the Sixers hired Darryl Moorey, you would have found very 483 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: few people around the league saying and thinking that Philadelphia 484 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: was going to be able to trade him. And Darryl 485 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: Moorey comes in, he moves Al Horford, he brings, he gets, 486 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: he gets Danny Green in that trade with the thunder 487 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: Later on they bring in a shooter in Steth Curry. 488 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: They send Josh Richardson to Dallas. Steth Curry has been, 489 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, a fantastic shooter, fantastic value on the contract 490 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: he has, and just even more than the moves. To me, 491 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: it's just if you're a Schixer fan and you've you know, 492 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: it's just been nothing but chaos and turmoil for years, 493 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: and you have all this doubt about how Embiid and 494 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: Simmons fit. But Darryl Moorey in very short order, he 495 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: I mean he's been there a matter of days. He's 496 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: just shown an ability, you know, he makes moves, he 497 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: gets things done. He's decisive. I think it just sends 498 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: the signal that yet we want this guy running our team. 499 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: He you know, they're not, They're by no means done, 500 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: but they made moves that make a lot more sense 501 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: for their roster. And I mean the East is the 502 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: East has gotten tougher, still nowhere near the depth of 503 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: the West, but Philly looking a lot better on paper today. 504 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: To go with your Milwaukee's, your Boston's, your Torontos, your Miami's, 505 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: Brooklyn's coming back down the top of the East just 506 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: looks so much better. Talking to Mark Stein, who covers 507 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: the NBA for the New York Times, I'll leave you 508 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: with this. Anything happened last night that would move the 509 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: hardened Russell Westbrook conversation forward? No, well, yes, actually one, 510 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: not in a forward way. I reported the day before 511 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: the draft that Charlotte's appetite to trade for Russell Westbrook 512 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: would go up if they didn't get LaMelo ball. And 513 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: they got LaMelo ball, So that presumably takes Charlotte out 514 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: of the mix as a potential landing spot for Russell Westbrook. 515 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: So you know, the Knicks have explored it, but it's 516 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: really conditional interest. The Knicks would only do that deal 517 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: under certain circumstances. If they're giving up just the minimum 518 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: amount of trade assets, and Houston gave up so much 519 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: to get Westbrook, They're not just going to trade him 520 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: to make a trade, you know, Washington, that was another 521 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: one John Wall and Russell Westbrook, or a salary match. 522 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: But the Rockets are trying to get something. They're trying 523 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: to get at least one future first back or a 524 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: good young player there. You know, Russell Westbrook was averaging 525 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: twenty seven, eight and seven at his peak last season 526 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: before he had all the injury and coronavirus problems in 527 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: the bubble. He did play very well in the second 528 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: half of the season. The Rockets don't want to just 529 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: move him for the sake of it. And in terms 530 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: of Harden, the consistent message coming out of Houston is 531 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: they are not in a rush. They want to try 532 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: to fix this thing. They're not just going to trade 533 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: him to the Nets. They don't have to trade him 534 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: to the Nets just because that's where Harden wants to go. 535 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,239 Speaker 1: They've got him under contract for two more years. I 536 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: don't think you're going to see the Rockets rush into 537 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: a hardened deal at all. They are going to try 538 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: to slow this thing down and see if they can 539 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: put the pieces back together. Thank you, Mark, We appreciate 540 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: you getting up to join us. We appreciate your time. 541 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: All good, see you guys. Thank you. But Mark Stein 542 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: covers the NBA for the New York Times. Yeah. You know, 543 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: if I'm Houston, I want another team interest in James Harden. 544 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: I gotta get leverage here. I'm not trading him. He 545 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: wants to go. So you got two years here. We 546 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: did everything you wanted us to do, and now you 547 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: want us to trade you. Players have leverage. That's why 548 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: players get traded in the NBA. They have leverage. They 549 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: can force their way out, more so than any other sport. 550 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: And it feels like Russell Westbrook is toxic. I'm not 551 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: talking personality, I'm talking style and contract. Yeah, Paully, Yeah, 552 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: I think Seaton and I were laughing the other day 553 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: when someone said Charlotte's going after Russell Westbrook. And that's 554 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: not a compliment because they're not known as a franchise 555 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: for making great decisions. It feels like he's an unwanted 556 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: player with his style and age cost. Yeah, I mean 557 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: you throw all that in there, and I think that 558 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: he could be a hey, come out and see Russell 559 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,479 Speaker 1: Westbrook put up some good numbers, but they're not going 560 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: to be meaningful numbers for any buddy, and it would 561 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: be just like the Knicks to bring him in. Now, 562 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: maybe you say, all right, the Knicks can bring him in. 563 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: You got Obie Topping, Maybe you got a couple of 564 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: things resources there that you can be competitive there. If 565 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm the Knicks, I hold off on any kind of 566 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: move like that with Russell Westbrook. And if you've got 567 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks, you got a couple of 568 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: young players, you know, RJ. Barrett, Obie Topping. Right, how 569 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: about you do something that is really rare with the Knicks. 570 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: You're patient, Just be patient. These fans are some of 571 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: the most loyal fans in all the sports and they 572 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: put up with an awful lot all these down years. 573 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: Just be patient. Maybe you do things correctly, Maybe you 574 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: get a couple of players who actually want to play 575 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: for the Knicks. But bringing in Russell Westbrook is more 576 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: of a hey, come out, here's a guy that you 577 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: might be aware of. That's that would not interest me 578 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: in the rebuilding process here. And I don't like giving 579 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: out grades and even asking somebody, Hey, who had the 580 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: best grade of the draft or the worst grade in 581 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: the draft? How many times if you look back on 582 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: the draft and you go, boy, I got this figured out. 583 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: That guy's gonna be great, or who is that guy? 584 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: And then if I said that about some of these drafts, 585 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: and you'd go, yeah, who's the Greek freak? Like this guy? 586 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: You know he's gonna be a project. Okay, Luca was 587 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: not a foregone conclusion that he was the best player 588 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: in the draft. I mean, you have it's littered with 589 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,479 Speaker 1: players where if we made up our mind on draft night, 590 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: there'd be a lot of guys who were going to 591 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame who probably would get failing grades. Yeah, 592 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: I've got the twenty fifteen draft here, and the Lakers 593 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: took the Angel of Russell of Ohio State. They are 594 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: praised for it that young combo guard and aging Kobe 595 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: Bryant steps right in will be the future of the franchise. 596 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: The next pick jelil okafor of Duke, great offensive game, 597 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: unstoppable in the low post Duke lineage. Blah blah blah. 598 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: Philadelphia has got their post guy for the next decade 599 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: and there's very little criticism of who's basically a bust. 600 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: Yeah Newlands no well, seven footer or can run the floor, 601 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: play defense, He's still in the league at least that 602 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: all the rest of his entire draft except for Jannis 603 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: is gone and new Lands no well. Yeah, but I 604 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: don't understand, like Obie Toppin was clearly a great player 605 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: on the best team in the country last year, probably 606 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: one of the best teams. But what were they three 607 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: or four when Sayton was one of the best and 608 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: he scored twenty points a game. Why to me, like eyeballing, 609 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he was obviously the best player in 610 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: last night's draft. But then these guys like Patrick Williams 611 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: come in who did nothing And yeah, but there are 612 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: always guys who were good or really good on a 613 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: great team, but that doesn't mean that they're gonna be 614 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: a great pro. Yeah. It feels hard for me to distinguish, like, 615 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: how do you know? As a scout, it feels like 616 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: a lot of guesswork with these unknown guys. Yeah, Grayson 617 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: Allen was a great player for Duke. He's pretty good, 618 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: he's okay, but he was a great player on a 619 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: very good team. He's a decent player in the NBA. Yeah. 620 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: Last year, Trey Jones, the guard for Duke, was the 621 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: ACC Player of the Year, the ACC Defensive Player of 622 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: the Year, first team All American, and he played for Duke, 623 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: and he didn't get drafted until midway through the second round. 624 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: He got drafted around behind a guy who played backup 625 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,400 Speaker 1: power forward at Florida State. Think about that for a second. 626 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 1: The best player on Duke's entire team, player college wise, 627 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: got drafted a round behind a backup power forward at 628 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: Flora's date. I am and my friends everyone want to 629 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: take Carson Edwards out of Purdue for the six Ers, 630 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: so like, because we see the tournament and he can't 631 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: miss a shot. Like, it's very as a fan, it's 632 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: very hard to distinguish. Well, we didn't have that opportunity 633 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: where we get to college basketball introduces us to a 634 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: lot of these players, because for the most part, people 635 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: aren't watching college basketball in a consistent basis. There might 636 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 1: be a showdown. It might be North Carolina Duke, it 637 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: could be you know, maybe somebody you've heard about who's 638 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: going to be playing, could be a holiday tournament, and 639 00:34:58,480 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: then you tune in to watch it, but you're not 640 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: watching regular season basketball. You get to March Madness and 641 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 1: then you go, guys, who who's this guy from Northern 642 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: Illinois or who's this guy from Iowa State. If you're 643 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: not watching the Big twelve, you know you're not going 644 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: to see these guys until you get to March Madness, 645 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: and then you fall in love with somebody after two 646 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: or three games and you go, that's the guy we 647 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 1: should be taking. It's like, no, no, hold on here, 648 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: hold on here, you don't want to make that knee 649 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: jerk reaction.

And I came 674 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: in and said to the Danets this morning, I had 675 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: a dream last night. Now, your dreams may be different 676 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: than mine, but I had a dream that Marcus Howard 677 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: got signed by the Denver Nuggets. Yes, pay Dan, your 678 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: dream was right. You must have read it before you 679 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: went to bed. Marquette's Marcus Howard gets a chance with 680 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets after going undrafted. Oh okay, so maybe 681 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: you read it right before you went to sleep. I 682 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: don't know why would a great three point shooter in 683 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 1: this league not get a chance? Just height, I'm gonna guess. 684 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 1: But if you have Fred Van Vleet and Kyle Lowry, 685 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: those are small guys, short guys. Marcus Howard a whole 686 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: lot of fun average twenty seven a game at Marquette. 687 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: But okay, so maybe I didn't have a dream about it. 688 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: Maybe I read it in a fog and then somehow 689 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 1: it worked at twin into my dreams. Once again, your 690 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: dreams may be different than mine, Like when you wake 691 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: up and you go, Wow, what a dream that was. Yeah, 692 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: would you dream about Marcus Howard signing with the Denver Nuggets? WHOA, 693 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 1: that's crazy. So we have our full question, McLevin. We're 694 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: gonna go in not exactly. Do you want to go 695 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: with Kyler Murray? You want to go NBA draft? What's 696 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: the Kyler Murray? Two questions? Oh? Really, would you play baseball? 697 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,919 Speaker 1: You Kyler Murray? Because I got a little a little 698 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: into it, Paul, He's like, he's got to have proven 699 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: success in the NFL. Yeah, I say, go for it. 700 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: How hard is it to play two sports? You know 701 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: why Russell Wilson said he wanted to play baseball. Yeah, 702 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: after he won a Super Bowl. Yeah, but he's not 703 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Very well, when you say that, then the 704 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: critics can't go, oh, you're not putting in full time 705 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,839 Speaker 1: with being a pro quarterback. Here, make up your mind. 706 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 1: You want to play baseball, you want to play football. 707 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: If he wins an MVP and or a Super Bowl, 708 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: then he can say, you know what, I was thinking 709 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,880 Speaker 1: of maybe going to camp with the Oaklana's. Maybe his 710 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: rights get traded because Oakland still owns his rights, they 711 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: send it to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Yeah, this is kind 712 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: of a silly argument, and people aren't acknowledging that. The 713 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,360 Speaker 1: fact that he's the quarterback, not like a He's not 714 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: like Brian Jordan, a good defensive back for the Atlanta Falcons, 715 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: who could play ball sports. If Kyler Murray wanted to 716 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: play baseball, he had to play April, May, June, July, August, September, 717 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: and October possibly for that team. No team's gonna let 718 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: him play five months in bail and as quarterback in 719 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 1: the NFL. He can't miss July, August, September and not 720 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 1: playing baseball. He would go to training camp and have 721 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of fun. Yes, and then he'd love 722 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: to be able to say, see, look, look, look what 723 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: could have been here. I could be a Bo Jackson, 724 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: I could be a Dion Sanders. Maybe you get fifteen 725 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: twenty thirty at bats in spring training, have a little 726 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: bit of fun, that's all, yeah, McLevin. But there was 727 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: a time where it sounded insane that Kyler Murray would 728 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: play football. Like it was like, oh, yeah, he's he 729 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: was the baseball guy forever, Like there was nobody thought 730 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,400 Speaker 1: he was going pro in the NFL as of like 731 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: September October. Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. But I think 732 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: that even he had to be convinced that he was 733 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: good enough to play football Becau when we did the 734 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: infamous interview at the Super Bowl in Atlanta, I had 735 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: already been told that he was going to be a 736 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: top ten pick prior to the interview, but he maybe 737 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: hadn't been told. But I had been told that he's 738 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: definitely a top ten pick. And from what I was 739 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: told that once Kyler Murray and his parents his family 740 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: knew that he'd be a top ten pick. Then he 741 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 1: wanted to play football over baseball. He loved football. He 742 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: was a high school legend in Texas, and I think 743 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: that he always wanted to play football. We didn't know 744 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 1: what Oklahoma had when he took over for Baker Mayfield. 745 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: We didn't know what they had in Baker Mayfield. And 746 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,560 Speaker 1: then we thought, maybe Lincoln Riley as the quarterback whisper, 747 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: maybe these guys are really good in that system. Who 748 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: knows if they'll be good in the pros. And then Kyler, 749 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,919 Speaker 1: I think, got the information the intel back and said, look, 750 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna be a top ten pick. And then all 751 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: of a sudden we realized Cliff Kingsbury goes to Arizona, 752 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: they got the number one pick. He's going to be 753 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: the number one pick in the draft. I think it 754 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,920 Speaker 1: happened that quickly. But I don't see him playing baseball 755 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: unless he does spring training. Maybe. But winning always helps 756 00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: because remember Shack Shack in the offseason be doing music albums, 757 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: he'd be doing movies, and then people would say, what 758 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: work on your free throws? Right? And then once he 759 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,719 Speaker 1: won championships, nobody said that again. But in Orlando, be like, oh, 760 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,759 Speaker 1: you gotta work on your free throws, as if you're 761 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: supposed to be doing it. Whenever you wake up, you 762 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: start shooting free throws and you do it until you 763 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: go to bed. So I don't see him playing baseball 764 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 1: anytime soon. And Dion Sanders was a defensive back. He 765 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: was first team All Pro and he wanted to do it. 766 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: He you know, wanted to be able to play with 767 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: the Braves. They'd helicopter him over, you know, like Brian 768 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,319 Speaker 1: Jordan was more of a legitimate two way star, two 769 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: sports star, played defensive back for the Falcons and you know, 770 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 1: also played for the Braves. You know, bo who knows 771 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: what bow like bow should have made up his mind 772 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 1: to do one sport. It probably would have been a 773 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,239 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. But I don't see this happening anytime soon. Uh. 774 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: Here is Kyler Murray on Tiki Interney, CBS Sports Network yesterday. 775 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: I missed baseball for sure, you know, just being in 776 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: the box, being out there with the guys competing. You know, 777 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 1: I know I'm more supposed to be at I don't think, 778 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: you know, if if I would have chose baseball, I 779 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 1: think i'd have been missing the hell out of football, 780 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 1: but not for me. I wish I could do both. Um, 781 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: you know I could never. Yeah, I definitely feel like 782 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: I could. You know, I'd never say never. But as 783 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: of right now, man, I'm I'm having fun to you know, 784 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: do what I love. Yeah, and continue to do that. 785 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:47,319 Speaker 1: And then when you get to the point where you're 786 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,839 Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty eight and you got a little bit 787 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: of a resume there, maybe an MVP, maybe a Super 788 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: Bowl ring, and then you want to go to spring training. 789 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna Faulter for that. But I think now with 790 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,239 Speaker 1: what he's doing and he's progress and his team And 791 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: he was asked about this on CBS Sports Network my 792 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: TK attorney. It wasn't where he brought it up. He 793 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: was asked about it. So he said, yeah, I missed baseball, 794 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,760 Speaker 1: but then if he played baseball, he'd be missing football. 795 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: All Right. We'll check in with the Golden State Warriors 796 00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,359 Speaker 1: coming up next down.
