And today The Athletic 56 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 6: published a long piece about the investigation firm that covers 57 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 6: these kind of thing. They're the ones who ended up 58 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 6: helping get Robert Robert Salver Sarver out in Phoenix.

We got fans coming 176 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 4: paying four hundred dollars and the guys don't play, they 177 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 4: don't care. 178 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: Like Evin, Stern definitely had way more of all right, now, 179 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: all right, we've all better figure this out or I'm 180 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: gonna figure it out. 181 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 4: That tone, I remember it was like two hundred thousand 182 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 4: dollars and this is like fifteen years ago when he 183 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 4: find pop when he sent home Tim Duncan Parkers believe, Yeah, 184 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 4: you remember that on a national game against Miami, Stern 185 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 4: was hot. What I'm just saying, I don't I don't 186 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 4: see this commissioner doling out some unbelievable uh penalty to 187 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 4: the Clippers. I'm not saying that they don't deserve it 188 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 4: if they got the evidence, the goods. I just it 189 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 4: would be hard for me to see or believe some 190 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: death penalty. 191 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: If that don't think it. I think it's happening. This 192 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: was me saying, this is what's supposed to have. Right, 193 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: if you're if you think, if you're saying this is 194 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: not what teams should be doing, this is not you know, 195 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: you're circumventing the rules, you're circumventing the cap. And also 196 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: again because otherwise to me, it's absolutely worth if I 197 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: got a chance to get Cooper flag and let's use 198 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: another example, I think it was like ten million dollars 199 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,719 Speaker 1: offered to Jason Tatum to do some one time commercial rap. 200 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Now, hey, here's a million and then you 201 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: get residuals at all. Ten million million for one commercial 202 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: is crazy. But folks, you say, what he did the commercial? 203 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Whereas Kawhi never did anything for this Aspire brand. So 204 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: I so that's a way to do it, right. Hey, 205 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: I can't control is I pay him forty fifty million 206 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: dollars a year. I can't control what you know, Toyota 207 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: or Kelvin's Pizzeria wants to offer him. You know, it's 208 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: like nil, right, Like, oh hey Kelvin's Pizzeria was what 209 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: if you. 210 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: Really want to do it something like that? Right, And 211 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: that's the issue that you have. I get it. 212 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: And again the salary cap and people have been getting 213 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 4: circumventing it. You think when people came to certain places 214 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 4: and if you think they're no back deer, backdoor deals 215 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 4: and all kinds of other stuff. And like you said, 216 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 4: I could just get sponsors to funnel the money to you, 217 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 4: because you have you now you come to LA, you 218 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: have this deal, you have that deal, you have this, 219 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: you have that. 220 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: Oh wow, I've just made it out. 221 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 4: You the money fifteen dollars, just use your name exactly. 222 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 4: I'm gonna buy fifteen million dollars in advertising from you 223 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 4: and whatever you want to do with it. 224 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: Right and just wak wak. 225 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: I'd love a certain player if you could, you know, 226 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: bring him in as an endorser as well as you 227 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: don't put it down on paper, right, I mean, that's 228 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: say So that's my point. Like either the NBA, if 229 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: they're gonna act like they care, then they got to 230 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: throw the book or otherwise just act. 231 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 5: Like you don't care. 232 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: And I really threw that out there too, Rob. Does 233 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: the NBA have to have a salary cap at this point? 234 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 5: Like what? What? 235 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: What? 236 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 5: Why? 237 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: Like, I mean MLB doesn't Premier League, So they give 238 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: those guys stupid money. 239 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 5: Hey uh MESSI cup play with us for two hundred 240 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 5: million this one year, the one year. 241 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 4: They just won't go back you know, they won't, they 242 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 4: won't go backwards like that.

I say they got to throw that. 348 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: If they really cared the NBA Adams Supercars, they got 349 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: to throw the whole book at him on this stuff. 350 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: Otherwise just making a non salary cap league at this point. 351 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 5: Who what we got? 352 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 4: All right, let's go Mike in Minnesota. You're on the 353 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 4: odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. 354 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: What's up, Mike? How are you? 355 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 6: Hey? 356 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 10: Hey fellaws, thanks for having me on a longtime listener, 357 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 10: first time calling. 358 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 2: We appreciate that. How long you been listening, Mike? Real quick? 359 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 2: Tell us how long? 360 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 10: Oh? Well, I don't know. I mean like well with 361 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 10: you and Bruce Stard back in the day as well. Okay, 362 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 10: so I mean like we're going back a decade or more. 363 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been about eight years, no doubt. We appreciate that. 364 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, absolutely. But in any event, so I get 365 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 10: a kick on it, because they should throw the book 366 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 10: at him at if they did, in fact do this 367 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 10: the Clippers. If you look at the Joe Smith trade 368 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 10: or contracts back in two thousand. Yeah, the Minnesota we 369 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 10: got a death sentence with Garnett and his prime. Like 370 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 10: Garnett was the only reason why we even were able 371 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 10: to stay like competitive. 372 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: Right, But who was the commiss you know what I mean? 373 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 7: Yes, the. 374 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 10: Five first round draft picks which ended up being reduced 375 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 10: after like arbitration or whatever, but like the original death 376 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 10: penalty was five first round draft pick and that's just incredible. 377 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 2: That would hurt a franchise, right that. That's that's for sure, 378 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: no doubt thinking. 379 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 5: Mike appreciate it. 380 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 2: Yep. 381 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 4: But you see what I'm saying, Kelvin. It's not that 382 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 4: they shouldn't be punished if they got the goods. It's 383 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 4: whether this commissioner will do it. That's where my question is. 384 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 5: That's a good question. See how serious he is? 385 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, Andre in Massachusetts, you're on the odd couple of 386 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. 387 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: What's up, Dre? How are you doing? 388 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 11: Good? 389 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 9: Happy Friday? 390 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 11: Thanks for taking the call. Currently, Adam Silver is not 391 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 11: very serious at all when it comes to consistency, because 392 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 11: he's over here. He dropped guillotine on Donald Sterling early 393 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 11: on in his. 394 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: Tenure, but only because it is Drey and Kelvin and 395 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,719 Speaker 4: I agree on It wasn't him. The players said they 396 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: weren't going to play playoff games and cost the league money. 397 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: And that's why Donald Sterling got Jennison out as ownership 398 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 4: of the Clippers. 399 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 11: Okay, And it was a decisive decision that had the 400 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 11: confidence of the fandom and people in general in terms 401 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 11: of the swiftness and the decisiveness if to handle that 402 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 11: situation that had been long standing in terms of his 403 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 11: misgivings and his poor behavior. My situation with this, Steve Bomber, 404 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 11: it is clear, Listen, there's no point in all of 405 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 11: this salary cap and competitive balance and trying to have 406 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 11: winning teams in small markets if you're not going to 407 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 11: follow through on it. And if Steve Bomber, being the 408 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 11: richest owner in team sports, gets the pass, then why 409 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 11: didn't everybody get a pass? You know you had so. 410 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: I agree with you. We both agree with you. 411 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 4: But I'm asking you, Andre, do you expect Adam Silver 412 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 4: to bring the hammer down? 413 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 2: That's really it. 414 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 4: It's not if they have the goods, I'm with you, 415 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 4: and they should be punished. 416 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 11: I don't expect him to bring the hammers down. And 417 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 11: and it's a it's a it's unfortunate, but Steve Baumber 418 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 11: before he was found out to have this made off 419 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 11: outside of him while he's doing these side deals. He's 420 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 11: the individual that brought a second arena to Los Angeles. 421 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 11: He is the one that was able to get that done, 422 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 11: and him being the richest owner in team sports. So 423 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 11: my point is, Adam Silver doesn't want to punish who 424 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 11: an owner who was supposed to be the gold standard. 425 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 11: But when you when you pull back the curtain, he's 426 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 11: making moves and doing deals. I e Bernie made off. Yes, 427 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 11: I'm putting him in that category because it's that series 428 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 11: of an offense that undermines the entire competitive balance of 429 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 11: the NBA. So, Adam Silver, I understand why you might 430 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 11: be doing it, but it illegitimizes your leadership. Thanks taking Nicoll, 431 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 11: appreciate it. 432 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 5: Appreciate you. 433 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 4: How about Mark and Sacramento. You're on the couple of 434 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. 435 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 3: What's up, Mark, I've got the right number. 436 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 5: I got you guys. What's up? 437 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 12: Real quick? Might add to what Andre just said. The 438 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 12: other reason why that happened is because Chris Paul was 439 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 12: a member of the Clippers. That was the team that 440 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 12: happened to and he had the most powerful voice in 441 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 12: as a player. He was a president Player's Association when 442 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 12: that happened. So you walked in there and saying we 443 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 12: ain't playing, I speak for everybody. He was a player president. 444 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 12: That's that was a powerful voice that said that. That 445 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 12: was that was a difference. Then I just want to 446 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 12: say that I think he should come down. He's got 447 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 12: to come down with a big hammer because this will 448 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 12: circumitted to something. All these rish guys know something. 449 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 9: What is it? 450 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 12: That's what the taxes to is salary cat It's the 451 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 12: tax break that tax. All these rid guys know how 452 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 12: to get around taxes. They do it in their business 453 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 12: every day. So if he doesn't come down and these 454 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 12: guys they're all going to do it, he has to 455 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 12: do it. He can't. They did n't get away. He 456 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 12: has to come down with draft choices. Let me take 457 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 12: some last of no TV appearances. Don't know the player 458 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 12: that you see the tournament, but. 459 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 10: They have to be heavy because of that. 460 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 12: If you let just go, don't get the Hey mama, 461 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 12: pretty good idea how to get around him? 462 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 2: Mark. 463 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: The only thing I'll say is why I think it's 464 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: going to be difficult is because he's the richest person. 465 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 5: He just built a new stadium arena, you. 466 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: Got the All Star Game here, you got all this 467 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: stuff happening, and you'd imagine he's gonna have other things coming. 468 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: It's like, does Adam Silver has the you know what's 469 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: to do that to that guy? 470 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 12: Right? 471 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: It's easy to a small random guy and in Minnesota 472 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: or something, l a new arena. 473 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 5: I'm spending money this richest owner, you know. 474 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I got a big time you know platform, 475 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: and that I'm this other my real business too.

In my opinion, 478 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: all right. 479 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 2: I have no confidence, no confidence in the commission. 480 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, and justifiably.

But 506 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 13: it seems like there's a buzz, there's an energy here 507 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 13: in La right now. I think a lot of people 508 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 13: are excited to see the Into It Jim really a 509 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 13: two billion dollar basketball mecca that Steve Ballmer built. The 510 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 13: showcase to the greater basketball world. This is the celebration 511 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 13: of the sport, So a lot of excitement for maybe 512 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 13: a game that haven't gotten the most favorable kind of 513 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 13: news around it in recent years. 514 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, let me ask you this. Let's talk INLA. Talk 515 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: a little bit about the LA Stars. You know, Lebron's 516 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: in it. You got Luca. Lebron played last night, Luca 517 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: hasn't played. You got Kawhile in it as well. Do 518 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: you expect Luca to play? What are we thinking as 519 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: far as Lebron playing Last year? At the very last 520 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: second he decided not to play. Kind of screw some 521 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: things up for other players who could have had a 522 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: chance to be an All Star Game? 523 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 5: What do you expect from the Stars? Let's start there 524 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 5: right now. 525 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 13: All things are looking towards Luca actually playing for the 526 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 13: World team this year. And you you have to think, 527 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 13: with it being the USA versus the Walls format, the 528 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 13: first time that they're ever doing this, there was a 529 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 13: little bit of extra incentive for him. I mean, it's 530 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 13: really him and Jokic saether are the headliners. He was 531 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 13: the leading vote getter for this All Star Game, so 532 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 13: he is progressing. He missed the last four games for 533 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 13: the Lakers. Obviously did not play last night and that 534 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 13: win against the MAVs, but it seems like it's trending 535 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 13: towards him playing on Sunday. Lebron's always the question, right, 536 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 13: but you have to think, is he's getting to the 537 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 13: latter half of his career here that he would want 538 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 13: to soak up these opportunities. And then of course we 539 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 13: have Kawhi Leonard who will be suiting up for his 540 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 13: hometown Clippers in this game as well. And you know 541 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 13: a lot of questions around Kawhi and his selection ultimately 542 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 13: making the team. 543 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 2: He should have made the team. He's having a great 544 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 2: year now. 545 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 4: The whole idea that he wasn't and that they had 546 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 4: no clue was on the team from the jump was crazy. 547 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 2: Wasn't it, Tailor. 548 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 13: I mean, it's kind of insane, right, Like, not only 549 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 13: are they hosting the NBA All Star Games, Kawhi is healthy, 550 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 13: he's playing well, He's a two time NBA champion. This 551 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 13: is a man that's having an incredible season. Fy the way, 552 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 13: after a great postseason last year. 553 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 3: It makes you. 554 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 13: Wonder, is it kind of around the scandal? Is it 555 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 13: around all the other things? Because these are human beings 556 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 13: voting for this. At the end of the day, Rob right, 557 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 13: it's not a computer, it's not an AI algorithm, it's 558 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 13: not chat GVT. Just looking at the numbers. Sometimes people 559 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 13: let stories cloud how they vote. 560 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: I wonder to stay there for a minute, Taylor, if that, 561 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: if you're looking at the broader picture of Adam Silver 562 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: or your you're you know, pr people involved in this, 563 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: and you're saying, well, Kawhi didn't talk much anyway. The 564 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: last thing we need is people bothering him about hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, 565 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: all Star game. 566 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 5: Forget all that, what's up with a scandal? 567 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: You know what he's made for available for for the 568 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: press conferences and media. And I wonder to your point 569 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: is that if we can avoid not having to have 570 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: that conversation, well, we're supposed to be celebrating highlighting the game. 571 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 5: I wonder if that would play with all of that. 572 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 13: You have to think it did Kelvin, right, And even 573 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 13: if it wasn't a sit down in a board meeting 574 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 13: and have a conversation about that, it's in the back 575 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 13: of everybody's mind, right, because this scandal clouded the very 576 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 13: beginning of the NBA season and it's still unresolved. The 577 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 13: NBA is still doing an investigation into what exactly happened 578 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 13: with this aspiration scandal. Was the money paid under the table? 579 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 13: What was Kawhi Leonard's knowledge implication in this? What was 580 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 13: Steve ballmer? So you have to imagine that the showcase 581 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 13: of the sport, what they call a celebration of basketball. 582 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 13: They don't want it peppered and littered with questions about 583 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 13: this distraction that simply takes away from the integrity of 584 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 13: the league. So you have to think that went into it, obviously. 585 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 13: But to Rob's point, the man deserved to play the game. 586 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 13: Numbers don't lie. 587 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 4: No, the numbers were just too good and they were 588 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 4: better than Lebron's and Lebron made a team. And the 589 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 4: other thing, Kawhi is from this area, you know what 590 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 4: I mean, Like, I know, we can act like it 591 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 4: doesn't matter. I'm sure he wants to play, you know, 592 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 4: in it in the family and his home arena. But 593 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 4: thank god that they got that sorted out and they 594 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 4: and we'll get to see Kawhi be involved. The Lakers 595 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 4: are a weird team. I mean, they got two one 596 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 4: all time great and another guy who's going to be 597 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 4: an all time great when his career is said and done, 598 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 4: him Hooker and Lebron, and yet there's no juice for 599 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 4: them like maybe having a chance to compete for NBA title. 600 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 2: Like people don't feel like this team is there. 601 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 13: Well, they feel like they're stuck in neutral a little bit, right, 602 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 13: Like they have a lot of talents, they're top heavy. 603 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 13: You have Luka Dancis who's having an insane season now 604 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 13: that he has that conditioning regimen in place. It's fitter 605 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 13: than he's ever been and he's scoring in droves. And 606 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 13: Lebron looks good for being as old as he is. 607 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 13: But it feels like a team that is kind of 608 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 13: in transition, even if they are ten games above five hundred, 609 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 13: and you don't really feel like they can compete in 610 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 13: the upper echelon of the Western Conference. So what are 611 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 13: you really? That's the question, right, Like are you somebody 612 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 13: that's content maybe getting to the second round or are 613 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 13: we just kind of in a year here where it's, hey, 614 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 13: let's let Luca do its thing. It's a transition year. 615 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 13: He is the face of the franchise. We're selling tickets 616 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 13: and maybe next summer when we have to make the 617 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 13: decision about Lebron James when we have to make more 618 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 13: of a decision about is it Luca and often is 619 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 13: the face of the franchise? Are we going to bring 620 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 13: somebody else in? I just I don't feel like right 621 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 13: now this is a team that anybody feels like is 622 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 13: the guy coming out. 623 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 10: Of the West. 624 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I don't think anybody really does now. Obviously, 625 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: Rob and I were talking about this over the last 626 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: few days, like, if some kind of strong injury happens 627 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: at you know, to some big time players in the 628 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: Western Conference, well then that opens things up. But as 629 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: we sit here today, I just don't think they have enough. 630 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 5: I don't think they have enough youth. 631 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: And one of the things I think, Taylor, that the 632 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: Lakers have struggled with doing over the last twenty twenty 633 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: five years is drafting. They've drafted well, they just didn't 634 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: allow those guys to stick. 635 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 5: Around to develop. 636 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: And so you lose a Brandon Nigam, but Julius random 637 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: guys who are all stars. You lose a you know, 638 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: on the ball who could maybe been a contributor. You 639 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: lose star who's playing great for the Knicks over the 640 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: last few years, and so on and so forth. So 641 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: that's the thing will be interesting moving forward to me. 642 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: Will they have Luca and build around him and find 643 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: some youth or is it do what they do, try 644 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: to plug and play and go get Yannis or go 645 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: get someone job Rant or some other big name. 646 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 13: To your point, they had Zubach on that team and 647 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 13: they lost him. 648 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 5: To the That's another great example. 649 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 13: Yeah, this is not a team that's been able to 650 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 13: kind of keep and draft and develop. What I'm really 651 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 13: curious about right is we can have all of these questions, 652 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 13: and we can look at the recent past of the Lakers, 653 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 13: but how much does it really mean when you have 654 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 13: a new owner. I know, Genie bus is still in place, 655 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 13: but Mark Walter is going to come in and he's 656 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 13: going to put a stamp on this franchise. And if 657 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 13: you look at the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yeah, they've been 658 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 13: about spending seven hundred million on show hey or hey 659 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 13: do we want to get Yamamoto? Do we want to 660 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 13: get you know, all of these stores. Absolutely, but they've 661 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 13: also drafted and developed incredibly well. They've had stockpiles of 662 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 13: draft picks that they've been able to either trade for 663 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 13: guys or come up through the system, and I think 664 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 13: there's going to be more of an emphasis place on scouting, 665 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 13: more of an emphasis place on development. And I can 666 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 13: tell you right now, I cover the G League team 667 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 13: as well. I do sidelines for them with spectrum and 668 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 13: just the emphasis on development. Zach Guthrie, the South Bay coach. 669 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 13: I know it's not sexy to talk about the South 670 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 13: Bay Lakers, but there is a real emphasis on one 671 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 13: team on developing. I think that they recognize that that's 672 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 13: been a problem. Is you want to grow with Luca 673 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 13: and make him the face of the franchise. You simply 674 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 13: need that because we live in the second Aprin League. Now, 675 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 13: we live in a league where you can't have three 676 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 13: stars and buy your way to the top.
