00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: You want to introduce it the news of the day.

57
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the news of the day would be that

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 5: the New York Knickerbockers went ahead and finally got a

59
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 5: coach after all this time. And that coach would be

60
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 5: one none other than Mike Brown. He is now the

61
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: head coach for the next And uh, this is, you know,

62
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 5: coming after some weeks of trying to find one, which

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: was interesting when they let Tims go.

64
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 7: Who would it be?

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: There are some bigger names out there you thought that

66
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: would be in consideration that weren't. And then we know

67
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 5: Rob also that they had had a list of a

68
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,160

Speaker 7: A number one draft pick coming up?

78
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, Like, yeah, so they had a crazy Yeah,

79
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: they had a few. Quinn Snyder would be another one,

80
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: Taylor Jenkins, a lot of a halful of people who

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: had some They did have some meetings and took some interviews,

82
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, Mike Brown got

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 5: the the opportunity. So yeah, so there you have it.

84
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 5: They got their guy do they believe will lead them

85
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 5: to the future.

86
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 7: What say you?

87
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Okay, if I'm a New York Knicks fan today, I

88
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: am melancholy.

89
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: I am a Debbie Downer.

90
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: I am distraught because Mike Brown really the Knicks. You know,

91
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Mike Brown's been around, what is this his fifth start?

92
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like his fifth fifth team, I should say.

93
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: I know he did the Cavs twice, but this will

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: be like his fifth time being a head coach, and

95
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: very they seldom Kelvin Washington, does a coach win a

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: championship after making that many stops?

97
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 2: Okay, it just normally doesn't happen that way.

98
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: I can think of one guy it's happened too, and

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: that's about it, off the top of my head, who

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: made numerous stops and won later on in his career.

101
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: So the Knicks wanted Larry Brown, but I think they

102
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: got closer to Charlie Brown by hiring Mike Brown. I mean,

103
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Larry Brown did it. Larry Brown won the Pistons with

104
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: the championship with the Pistons later after being with a

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: lot of teams.

106
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: But he ain't Larry Brown.

107
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: Larry Brown also won a championship in college. Larry Brown's

108
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: the only coach who won in the NBA and in

109
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: college basketball. So you're talking about a select group. Mike

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: Brown hasn't won anything zero zip na. And they thought

111
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: they had something going and Sacramento couldn't win the big game, right.

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: There were a couple of times where you thought the

113
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: King's gonna They're gonna beat up Warriors and move on.

114
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: No way, no how, I don't know how you get excited.

115
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: To me, it feels like the Knicks went to kick

116
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: the football and they got it pulled from them. They

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: missed it.

118
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 7: YEP.

119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm all for getting rid of TIBs.

120
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: I told you that that after they lost the first

121
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: two games in the Eastern Conference Finals at home, including

122
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: that debacle in Game one fourteen points with two thirty

123
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: eight to go, I have no issue with them being fired,

124
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: but to hire another guy who's been around for a while,

125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: had these teams, never really has won anything.

126
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: Coached you know, in Cleveland and coached for the Lakers

127
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: and all that.

128
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: When the Lakers think he got fired in the second year,

129
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: right after five or six games.

130
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 2: You remember that disaster.

131
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 1: So my point is, if you're Nick Nation or whatever

132
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: you want to call themselves, Nick faithful or whatever, my god,

133
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: is that all they came away with Mike Brown.

134
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm not with it.

135
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 5: Look, if they're Nick faithful, if they're Nick faithful, they

136
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 5: out here about to be Nick looking at other things

137
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 5: right now, Nick cheating, They ain't about to be faithful

138
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 5: right now.

139
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Rob.

140
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 5: This is a couple of things. So you touched on

141
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 5: something I want to go back to. I'm not gonna

142
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: act like Tom Thibodeau was Phil Jackson. I said that

143
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 5: during in real time you and now my thing was

144
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: all right, then if you have to have in my opinion,

145
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: of playing, if we're letting it go a guy who's

146
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 5: had the most success there in twenty two years, he

147
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 5: has now surpassed Pat Riley for the most wins, fourth

148
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 5: most wins in NICK history. He had eleven playoff wins.

149
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: He had four appearances in five seasons. So you had

150
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 5: a guy who was creating something, who had gotten you

151
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 5: all the way to game and a half away from

152
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: the finals. So to me, okay, you're letting them go

153
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: to get and this was my concern.

154
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 7: This was my issue.

155
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 5: And they went from you know, going to New York

156
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 5: going as it's some huge Broadway plays to going to

157
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 5: see a community center play. Now you got Mike Brown,

158
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 5: who's some of the highlights on his career.

159
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 7: He got Coach of the Year in two thousand and nine.

160
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 5: Pretty easy to get a Coach of the Year or

161
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 5: at least be a candidate when you got that era of.

162
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 7: Lebron James right.

163
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 5: Then you go to the Warriors for a few when

164
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: Kirk Steve kerb is going through some things. You coach

165
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: there for a little bit, so you get some wins

166
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: with them. But after that, to me, it's been underachieving.

167
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: You underachieved with the Lakers. You had that same team

168
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: that came back from an NBA Finals appearance, NBA Championship,

169
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 5: and you underachieved with them. Then the next year, as

170
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 5: you mentioned, you only coach five games. You underachieved the

171
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: Sacramento with some really good two all NBA guys and

172
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: Ta Bonus and the Aaron Fox and some other players

173
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: quality players as well. When they got around was at

174
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 5: the two seed you lost in the playoffs.

175
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 7: So to me, you went and got a guy.

176
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 5: That's one of those well who always get a good job.

177
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 5: Everybody seems to like him, seems to be a nice guy.

178
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 5: And I'm not even saying he's not a solid coach.

179
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: There's thirty jobs. Somebody has to have a job. But

180
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: for a Nick team that had a chance to get

181
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 5: back in the Eastern Conference at finals and maybe get

182
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: to the finals because the East is wide open, this

183
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 5: to me did not womy.

184
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 7: This did not move the needle.

185
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,599
Speaker 5: And if as you mentioned, as a Knick fan, I

186
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 5: would be like wait what, and I would actually be upset.

187
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 5: And this goes back to James Dolan mentioning we just

188
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: do weird things himself. Sometimes we overreact, sometimes we chase

189
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 5: the shining thing. And to me, he did it again

190
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 5: by overreacting, chasing the shining thing and getting rid of

191
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 5: somebody who again, fine, fine, then you have to have

192
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 5: a better plan and contingency plan. And I didn't see that,

193
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 5: And this is why the Knicks be nicking. This is

194
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 5: why the Knicks be nicking and ruin up situation.

195
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: The one thing I hear you, I'm aa disagree though.

196
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry with the tibbs. You know, you say you

197
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: got wins. Pat Rodley took the Knicks to the finals

198
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: like this, you know, like so so he can have

199
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: more wins than Pat Roley and all.

200
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: This other stuff.

201
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 7: But Rob.

202
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: After they No, I'm just saying I don't have any

203
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: issue once they lost that series, and I'm just saying

204
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: they all had expectations after they beat Celtics that they

205
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: were going to the finals. And then you lose Game

206
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: one in that fashion and then you being a coach, hey,

207
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: you can shake off one game, right, It's only one game.

208
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: They lost Game two at home and that was the series.

209
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: So I don't have an issue with them firing them.

210
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: What I do is I have an issue with going

211
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: out to get a coach who has a track record

212
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: of not winning. That that's the issue I have. And

213
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: I think that's where you got to look at it

214
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: and go and I get it. There aren't a million

215
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: coaches with a championship trophy in their back pocket.

216
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: And I talked about.

217
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Michael Malone and I guess they had some bad blood

218
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: or something before, so they you know, I guess they

219
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: held that against them, and which is fine if they

220
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: wanted to do that, but I would have to And

221
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: once they talked to the players and the exit interviews,

222
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: and they felt like Tims had to go because that's

223
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: what this was.

224
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: This wasn't a plan.

225
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: They just signed a guy in the offseason to a

226
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: new extension, so this was not the plan.

227
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: They thought they had their guy.

228
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: You gotta remember their president and GM used to be

229
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: was his agent, you know what I mean, like they

230
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: have a relationship. They didn't do this just just because

231
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: they were scheming to do this all along. This thing happened,

232
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: they didn't get to the finals, and then they talked

233
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: to the players on the way out who weren't feeling

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: tips enough to make them say, you know what, let's

235
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: give them another shot at this. So I don't have

236
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 1: the issue with the firing. I just think there were

237
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: other people or take a chance. I'd even take a

238
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: chance on somebody who you really believe might have that

239
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: it thing and might be the new hotness, rather than

240
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: a retread who hasn't been able to get over the hump.

241
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna look back at this.

242
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: There are people in New York, you know, hoping and wishing,

243
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: going maybe this is like when the Yankees hired Joe

244
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: Tory and everybody was down on Joe Tory. The headline

245
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: in the Daily News in New York when Joe Tory

246
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: got hired for the Yankee Kees was clueless Joe, and

247
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: he went on to win five World Series, right, well

248
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: for four or five World.

249
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: Series with the Yankees.

250
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: Four uh so, so people are hoping that it's that,

251
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, like it wasn't a popular higher.

252
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: But he also had Derek Jeter and Marian.

253
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 5: Right come in, good man, Andy Pettitt. I mean they

254
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 5: had that group was special. There's you that was a

255
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: special group. They had five guys that came up to you.

256
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: Joge Posada, I'm one hundred percent So Joe, you want

257
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: to get them all the flowers, that's fine. But but

258
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: the group that he had that was developed in the

259
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: Yankees minor league system was different. This Nick team was

260
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: ready to win last year. They made all the moves,

261
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: all the picks from Michael Bridges, they made the trade

262
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: for Cat Kelvin.

263
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: This was supposed to be it, and it didn't happen.

264
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 5: And my my only thing we were not. I'm not

265
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 5: overly mad at the firing it since again I don't

266
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 5: think he is the greatest coach of all time.

267
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 7: You let him go. My issue, I've told you was

268
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 7: what was the plan?

269
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 5: But also I'll say this, this is where we will

270
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 5: absolutely fundamentally disagree.

271
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 7: I the firing would.

272
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 5: Suggest that maybe all of a sudden, they're like, oh

273
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 5: I lean more to Maybe there were some players issue

274
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 5: Karl Anthony Towns who also had the same agent, maybe

275
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 5: upset he didn't get some crucial minutes in the game

276
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 5: the game. I can understand that, But to me, I

277
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 5: don't like the firing when it comes to saying the expectations. Dude,

278
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 5: nobody thought the Knicks were getting to the Finals before

279
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 5: the season and even during the playoffs. I get what

280
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 5: you're saying, they beat the Celtics, now you have to

281
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 5: go to But what I'm saying against Chang you got

282
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 5: to a game six against a eventual really good team

283
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: and his pacers.

284
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 7: Maybe we all undermess edit them all year. That to

285
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 7: me doesn't signal firing Cruse.

286
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: I agree with you on that. I agree that you

287
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: could lose to the patient.

288
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: But you can't give up a fourteen point lead at

289
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: home with two thirty eight. That is the If you

290
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: don't get fired off of that Kelvin, you'll never get

291
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: there could be no reason to fire you. And that

292
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: is that is an all time choke job. Would you

293
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: agree with that day told? I mean, yeah, I mean

294
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: it was one and whatever, but you know, I told

295
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: you I think it was more of a pacer.

296
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 5: That's a story for another day, but I just it's

297
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 5: gonna be what They had one playoff win series in

298
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 5: twenty two years. I believe it was the Knicks prior

299
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 5: to him, and to me, they should have another because

300
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 5: they're the East is wide open. But don't put yourself

301
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 5: back in a situation where you're no longer relevant.

302
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 7: We all enjoy the Knicks being relevant. It's good for

303
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 7: the NBA.

304
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 5: And so I just didn't like the hire of Mike

305
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 5: Brown for this situation. Not that Mike Brown couldn't be

306
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 5: the Hornets or the Jazz or some other coach, but

307
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 5: specifically for a Nick team that realistically has championship aspirations.

308
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 7: I didn't like to hire.

309
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: All Right eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox on

310
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: This Worship Wednesday eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six sixty

311
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: three sixty nine. Did the Knicks botch this?

312
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 7: Higher?

313
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: Is Mike Brown closer to Larry Brown or Charlie Brown?

314
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: What do you think We'll continue that conversation next with you?

315
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: It is The Odd Couple, Rob Parker, Kelvin Washington. Right,

316
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: You're on Fox Sports Radio and you.

317

00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 9: They should have made a big splash.

388
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 6: They could have.

389
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 9: I I guess Mike Malone he didn't want to coach anymore.

390
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 7: I would.

391
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 9: I would have been the first George.

392
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: They got some bad blood.

393
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Mike Malone to me, I just if

394

00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

397
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 9: And and what about Mark Jackson.

398
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 6: He's just been black bowed to death on this.

399
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 9: He just rough him completely off.

400
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: He has as as it comes to coaching. I mean,

401
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: it's it's obvious.

402
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, somehow it didn't stop him from broadcasting

403
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: the league, but amongst owners, it just seemed like.

404
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 2: I don't have any proof, but but it looks like

405
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: a black ball to me.

406
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 7: That's what.

407
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

408
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: I think there's some job I think, Yeah, I think

409
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 5: there's some behind the scenes and maybe some ideologies that

410
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 5: they that he may have that they don't align with.

411
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 7: That may be something something new.

412
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: Well, But there's some other issues too. When he was there.

413
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: I know that there was some stuff that went on

414
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: with the Warriors, but the word must have got out,

415
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: you know.

416
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying, is that that they know, like

417
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 5: I said, some ideologies that might not fly with some

418
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 5: other people in this league.

419
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 7: So thank you for the call. Appreciate it.

420
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's one of the rare times we both you know,

421
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 5: we just agreed that it was very underwhelming for it

422
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 5: for first of all, for the Knicks specifically. Right again,

423
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 5: we're not talking about the Hornets. We're not talking about

424
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 5: the Orlando Magic. We're talking about the Knicks, who finally relevant,

425
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 5: the Knicks, who really had a legitimate chance to get

426
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 5: to the finals and who have still in the sense

427
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 5: that the East is wide open and this is what

428
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 5: they do.

429
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 7: It's kind of like, oh, okay, like no Nick, no Nick.

430
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 5: Fan of mine, the friend of mine who is a

431
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: fan has tweeted, has posted something like nothing. They're like, oh,

432
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 5: Mike Brown, that's yay you subsequent Lebron, yay, yay, Hey Ron.

433
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 7: If you threw a.

434
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 5: Mustache on him, it's just me, Mike Woodson. Throw that

435
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: black dyed mustache on there. It's just Mike Woodson. Same dude,

436
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 5: I just don't need somebody go get him.

437
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, I was all in on making a

438
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: change after that, not getting to the finals. But this

439
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: is underwhelming. And as you said, I have friends, my

440
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: my New York friends, and I'm you know, a part

441
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: of a couple of group Texas like crickets. Like nobody's like,

442
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: oh we got our guy. Oh my god, we're gonna

443
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: go to the finals next year.

444
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 7: Oh they're not even mad either. That just shows how

445
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 7: indifferent it is.

446
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: Just like it's indifferent.

447
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 5: It's just like, Okay, yeah, I know who he is.

448
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 5: He's had some success, Yeah, he's he's been all right.

449
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 5: There you have it, Edny House, ask Eddie about that.

450
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 5: On the other side, that's the odd couple, Rob and

00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,280

Speaker 7: Was classic.

473
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: Whenever the teacher talked to Charlie Bright, it was classic.

474
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 7: You know what, you get my point.

475
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: The only reason I say this is Larry Brown.

476
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: Was able to win after multiple stops, you know, like

477
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: later in his career with the Pistons, after he was

478
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: coached for four or five teams, And this is what

479
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Mike Brown is trying to do. It just doesn't move

480
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: the needle for me, Eddie. You know, I'm not saying

481
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: that he can't coach or whatever. He just hadn't done

482
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: enough for me to feel good about this.

483
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: Well, I'll say this about Mike Brown. For whatever reason,

484
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 6: in the first few years they played really really hard

485
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 6: for him, Okay, and then it almost like his message

486
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 6: wears off. You know, you only could do so much

487
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 6: of the same thing before it doesn't have an effect.

488
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 6: You know, you could take your woman out every single

489
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 6: night for sake dinner, you know, or every every Friday

490
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 6: for steak dinner. And then eventually she gonna be like, Okay,

491
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 6: can we do something different?

492
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 9: You know what I mean?

493
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 7: I went through that.

494
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you weren't taking it from you stake them.

495
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 6: You know, he was taking he was taking her. He

496
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 6: was taking her for wings for himself.

497
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 7: Still pulling out the coupon, Yeah, and pulling.

498
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 6: Out the goupon for real. They trying to get a

499
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 6: break out there wherever you can go to get the breaks,

500
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. But I think that's that's

501
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 6: been Mike Brown's kind of yeah, his the way he's

502
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 6: been coaching, and you know, at first, it's lively, it's different,

503
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 6: it's a different voice. You feel good you and he

504
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 6: has got playing think about it. In Sacramento, they was

505
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 6: out there rocking for a minute, you know what I mean,

506
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden, it was like he's fired,

507
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 6: you know what I mean? Because I think that sometimes

508
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 6: that same message falls on deaf ears where you're like,

509
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 6: all right, we didn't heard this before, and so maybe

510
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 6: he has to switch up what he has to switch up.

511
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 6: Maybe this is just a bridge gap or whoever they

512
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 6: gonna get next time. You know what I'm saying, I

513
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 6: have no idea how it's gonna work out in New York.

514
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 6: And to be honest with you, I don't care.

515
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure.

516
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 5: Eddie actually Rob he said he loved He's like, wha,

517
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 5: thank god it didn't get her.

518
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 7: You know even better, coach, Yeah, they wasn't.

519
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 6: They won't. They weren't gonna get one. I think that

520
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 6: that job, to be honest with you, guys, I think

521
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 6: that that job was something that somebody didn't that people

522
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 6: didn't want to really take on because they just seen

523
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 6: what for the first time in twenty five years, You

524
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 6: go to the conference finals and then all of a

525
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 6: sudden he gets fired. He wins fifty games, he has

526
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 6: a record, and then all of a sudden you get fired.

527
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 6: That doesn't look like a desirable job for anybody. It

528
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 6: looks like a job, that's a dead end job.

529
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 1: Well, if you choke in game one and give up

530
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: fourteen points in the last two minutes, you got a

531
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: chance to get fired. Let me ask you this about

532
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: the Bucks and what they've done. Basically, I think what

533
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: they've done is we'll make you honest and you know,

534
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: I think Kelvin thought that this was ANX would be

535
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: the way of Jannie getting.

536
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: Out, but he's excited for the moves that they made.

537
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: Cutting Damian Lillard, how shocked were you at that that

538
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: they're going to eat one hundred and thirteen million dollars

539
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: and basically told him thank you, but no thank you.

540
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 6: Well, I think that what they looked at was okay,

541
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 6: so they cut that salary and then they bring on

542
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 6: somebody else on the other side that can help, be honest,

543
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 6: all right, And so to me it looks like an

544
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: organization that is saying, Yiannis, we don't want you to

545
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 6: go anywhere, you know, because if they didn't make any moves,

546
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 6: I think Giannis would would have made a move. But

547
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 6: since they made this move, I feel like that's the

548
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 6: move that where it shows like, hey, we're committed to you,

549
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 6: We're committed to try to build around you. You know

550
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 6: that Dame ain't gonna play next year, and we're willing

551
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 6: to bite that bullet.

552
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: You know for you right that Eddie watch spot on.

553
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna bite one hundred and thirteen million dollar bullet

554
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: because we know he can't help you next year as.

555
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: Much as we you know, we might like him or

556
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: people might like him. He can't play.

557
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's what I mean. I'm telling you what

558
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 6: I believe is that they're doing everything they can to

559
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 6: make sure they don't lose Jannie. Jannie is the centerpiece

560
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 6: of that team. Dame was an add on, you know

561
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 6: what I mean. He was an Ada.

562
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: Why didn't it work, Eddie? Why didn't it work?

563
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: When that trade went down, people were up, Oh my god,

564
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, I can't believe they got Dame to play

565
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: with his player like Giannis.

566
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: Finally we're going to see Dame Dalla and the Bucks

567
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: are going to have a chance. And it didn't work.

568
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 2: Why didn't it work? In Milwaukee?

569
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say it didn't work, because I think that

570
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 6: would be taking it too far, Rob to say that

571
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 6: it didn't work. I think that it took some time

572
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 6: for it to start to connect, and it started connecting,

573
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 6: and you could see that they were looking like a

574
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 6: team that okay, they could make some playoff runs. They

575
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 6: and once you start making a playoff run, anything can

576
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 6: happen once you get in the playoffs. And so when

577
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 6: Dame went down, that was it. They had no back

578
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 6: Bobby Porters. Think about Bobby Porters. He was suspended because

579
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 6: of the PDS, So they really never really had that

580
00:27:54,520 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 6: team together how they envisioned it from the beginning, and

581
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 6: so sometimes you got to just say, hey, man, you know,

582
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 6: cut your losses and say hey, we tried it, it

583
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 6: didn't work. Let's let's let's do something else. Let's let's

584
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 6: pivot and move in in different directions. So that's what

585
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 6: I think that Milwaukee is doing right now. Do I

586
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 6: think that they're going to be a contender next year

587
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 6: in the East. I mean the East is gonna be

588
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 6: wide open because there's a lot of injuries over there.

589
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 6: You know, Halli Burn's out, Jason Tatum is out, So

590
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 6: with Gianni's being over there, and I think I'm gonna

591
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 6: tell you an ascending team is the Orlando Magic, Young

592
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 6: Hung Greek. So you know, I think the East is

593
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 6: wide open right now.

594
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I completely agree.

595
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 5: This is This is absolutely if you ever thought you

596
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 5: had a year, if you're Orlando, if you're the Next,

597
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 5: if you're in Cleveland, if you're a handful of teams

598
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 5: that feel like, hey, this is we got a shot.

599
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 5: This is the year to do with Eddie house our

600
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 5: guest Eddie, I want to swing out West, a team

601
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 5: that had the current champions on the ropes to a

602
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 5: Game seven, and you could argue that wasn't their best

603
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 5: version of themselves. They just got a new coach. I'm

604
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 5: talking about the Denver Nuggets now. They've had a really

605
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 5: good off season thus far. What are you making with

606
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 5: what the Nuggets been able to do? We've already kind

607
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 5: of rob and I have covered the Rockets and some

608
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 5: moves they've made. What about the Knights for you? Did

609
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: they get themselves right back in contention in the West?

610
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: I believe so because you got to score in Tim

611
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 6: Hardaway Junior. You bring bad Bruce Brown, you know a

612
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 6: guy that helps you, helped lead, help go and get

613
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 6: a championship. You're surrounding Jokic with shooters, right, so he's

614
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 6: going to get all of the attention all the time.

615
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 6: And he's a winning passer. He's a great passer. Not

616
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 6: a good passer, but a great passer. Makes the right play.

617
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 6: The ball is on target, on time, right there, laced

618
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 6: up for you to knock a shot down. So I

619
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 6: think that they went out and I think they they've

620
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 6: been having a great offseason so far. You know, losing

621
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 6: Michael Porter Junior, you look at it like, okay, well

622
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 6: we gain three other guys that could probably do more,

623
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 6: that give you more production than that one person. I

624
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 6: like Am Datson, Yeah, I like Man. I love Cam Johnson.

625
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 6: I think Cam Johnson is a hell of a basketball player.

626
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 6: I remember watching him play out here in Phoenix when

627
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 6: he was playing and then when he went to New

628
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 6: Jersey excuse me, New Jersey, Brooklyn playing for the Nets.

676
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,840

677
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: and they're gonna make it three in a row. Because

678
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: I had the Yankees minus one and a half. They're

679
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,360

680

685
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,000

707
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 5: I'm from the metro Detroit area. You spent twenty something

708
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 5: years there, so we're very familiar with it. Then we're

709
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 5: very familiar with it now because we both get back.

710
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 5: You were just there over the weekend. Did you hear

711
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 5: the story about the WNBA player who had some thoughts

712
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 5: on these new teams that are possibly going to be

713
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 5: added to the WNBA.

714
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 7: Did you did you see that? I did.

715
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: I actually agree with her, but for different reasons. Go ahead,

716
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: I want to hear.

717
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, she had a conversation.

718
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 5: They're talking about the teams that are going to be

719
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 5: added to the the WNBA and a couple of the

720
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: cities expansion, Yeah, and Detroit being one of them, as

721
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 5: well as Cleveland.

722
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 7: This is Sophie Cunningham, who.

723
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 5: Had mentioned that the Indiana Fever Star, and she just

724
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 5: went on essentially, I'm gonna paraphrase because obviously it's a

725
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 5: little lengthy, but she said, folks, are you know we

726
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 5: got a couple of points about expanding too fast? And

727
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 5: and also do you want to list to the players

728
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 5: where do they want to play? Where do they want

729
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 5: to go? Where are they most excited to play and

730
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 5: draw fans. I think that Miami would have been a

731
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 5: great location. Nashville's an amazing city, Kansas City an amazing opportunity.

732
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 7: And then she goes on to say, I know how

733
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 7: I don't.

734
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 5: Know how excited people are about going to Detroit or Cleveland,

735
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 5: And she took a little shot at Detroit and Cleveland.

736
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 7: So Cleveland and Cleveland and Detroit.

737
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 5: Social media for that area, for news sites and all

738
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 5: that have been taking shots at her.

739
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: But just.

740
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on the shots at the city

741
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 5: and just coming straightforward after shots.

742
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: I don't agree with those. I mean, I get it.

743
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 2: Whenever you say that people going to get their panties

744
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: in a bunch.

745
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 7: Figured the first time is literal.

746
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'll know you're right, literally right, But my

747
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: point is if the WNBA failed in those cities, and

748
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: I think if she made that case rather than nobody

749
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Cleveland or Detroit, I could understand

750
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: her message.

751
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 2: Nashville a big, booming, up and coming city, right.

752
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, we know about Miami and what was the

753
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: other city of Kansas City doesn't have basketball. So her

754
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: point is well taken that there are other places that

755
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: don't have it or don't have failed u w NBA teams,

756
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: And I think that is the argument the shots at

757
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 1: the end, I think it's what clouded to make people

758
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: just kind of hate on it. But her point about

759
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: a I think it's too quick with the expansion. I

760
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: do agree with too many teams, but it is weird

761
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: that you're going back to two markets where it didn't work.

762
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 5: Which is so only thing I'll say about the shot,

763
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 5: and you you know, you were there. It was weird

764
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 5: because obviously ultimately they weren't this, you know, incredibly thriving team,

765
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 5: but they had a lot of success. They drew the

766
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,439
Speaker 5: most fans there during their during a couple of years

767
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 5: in the w NBA, they had the most attendance. Everything

768
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 5: was twenty one thousand at a game they had won

769
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 5: a couple of times.

770
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,959
Speaker 2: They weren't making any money. That's the reason that they moved.

771
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 2: They went to Tulsa.

772
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 5: I'm saying, which Lee me to also the other side

773
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 5: of this, prior to Caitlin Clark, Let's not act like

774
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 5: Indiana is this hot spot, you know what I mean.

775
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 5: Let's not act like that. Let's not act like, as

776
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 5: she mentioned Kansas City. I know they don't have basketball there,

777
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 5: but let's not act like it's the most desirable place.

778
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 7: I mean, I might go get to play the barbecue,

779
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 7: but that's it.

780
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 5: So for her kind of taking some shots, and especially

781
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 5: when Detroit, as you know, is downtown Detroit is a

782
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 5: really nice place. Now, I would I would. I would

783
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 5: have probably even conceded this in two thousand and five,

784
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 5: four or five. South Ay, Yeah, Detroit is thriving right now.

785
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 5: So uh but in Cleveland obviously as well, it's had

786
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 5: basketball there, baseball, football, mean, it's been one of the

787
