WEBVTT - 10/22/21 DPS Hour 2 Ross Tucker 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.560 Sports Radio. Mclovin the pull question from the first hour, 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:08.799 and does it bleed over into hour or two? Yeah, 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.760 it's interesting. Who's gonna win the Braves Dodgers series? Fifty 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:16.079 eight Braves? Okay, does that surprise you? Uh? No, No, 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.120 I would think the Braves going back home. I just 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.520 like how this sets up for the Dodgers and they're 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.959 starting pitching and the bullpen has been great. The question 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.520 has been how much offense do you get? I'd like 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.320 the offense to be spread out a little more than 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.360 what it has been in two games here where they've 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.320 shown a little bit of offense the Bellinger home run 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.560 and then of course what happened last night with five 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.920 home runs. But I like having Max Scherzer on the mound. 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:45.040 If you said, you know anybody in baseball now, Scherzer is, 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.880 you know what, thirty six, thirty seven years of age. 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.879 Maybe a little bit different and how long you can 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:53.160 go with Max Scherzer. But I love Scherzer to start, 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.160 just to set sort of the temperature there in the 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.880 building in Atlanta. And then if you got Walker Bueller 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.440 and you get some timely hitting and that's all you're 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.440 asking for. And plus I'm saying to these pictures with 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.640 the braves, and a lot of them haven't been in 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.440 these positions. Go out there and let's see you shut down. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.840 You know that lineup again? Yeah, Mick clubbing. The other 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.760 potential big question or pull from our one was would 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:18.559 you pay Baker Mayfield big money? I'm curious how people 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.440 would vote on that. No, I don't want to give 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.480 a full you know, the full Monty to him. I 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:27.080 don't want to give that to him. What if the 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.160 question was do you think the Browns will end up 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:33.720 paying a big contract to Baker Mayfield? Yes? I do, Yeah, 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.960 because you gotta. And I'll talk to Ross Tucker, our buddy, 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.800 he'll join us coming up. You know, when you you 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.360 look at the brown situation, you've already picked up his 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.520 fifth year option, and then after that, then then I 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.600 have to think do I want to give him maybe 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.280 a franchise tag. I don't know if you're going to 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.880 have all the answers you want. You're not going to 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.040 get that this year with Baker and then the following 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.440 year will you get that? And then are you going 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.400 to decide to give him you know, a five year 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.920 deal that's going to pay him two hundred million dollars. 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:10.440 I wouldn't do it. I think the ceiling is a 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.959 little higher, right than it? I mean it should be higher. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.640 He's the number one overall pick. I just don't know 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.320 if I can give up that kind of money because 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:23.840 it's going to cost me at some position on that team. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.440 Is he an elite quarterback, a good quarterback, pretty good quarterback, 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.720 potentially a good quarterback. I just don't want to give 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.280 money where I have doubts about that. It's got to 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.359 be yes, like that's the answer. And if the answer 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:42.160 is not an affirmative yes, then I wouldn't do that. Plus, 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.560 what's his bargaining power if I say to his representatives, Hey, 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:50.080 here's the deal for five years, one hundred and fifty 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:54.919 million dollars. You want it? Oh you don't? Okay, where 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.240 are you gonna get it? Elsewhere? Now? Brady Quinn, who 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.360 joined us last hour, said, well you might get you know, 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.519 a quarterback starved team. Are they going to pony up? 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.160 I mean, I don't know, but you know, in fairness 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.240 to him, he doesn't have his running backs. You know, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.200 his wide receivers have been banged up, but case Keenum 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.680 was serviceable last night, did a nice job. He did 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.240 what you want him to do and maybe what you 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.400 expect him to do. You may not win the game, 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.760 don't lose the game, and they were able to, you know, 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.880 squeak out a win last night. That's all you want 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.440 with these games. Might be ugly. You win those games 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.519 because at the end of the year, you don't get 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.560 style points. It's not like college football where they go, yeah, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.280 you barely beat that team at home. It doesn't matter. Yeah, 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.920 no degree of difficulty. All right, we'll get to a 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.680 poll question and see if we said on one. For 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.320 the hour or two, your phone calls are always welcome. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.680 Say good morning to our radio and TV partners around 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.480 the country. Peacocks are streaming partner. Fox Sports Radio carries 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.240 this program along with nearly four hundred cities around America. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.720 Phone numbers eight seven seven three DP show email address 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.360 DP at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at dps 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.240 show Dodgers Roll the Braves Chris Taylor hits three home runs, 0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.080 Braves up three two the Red Sox at the Astros. 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.359 That's Game six coming up tonight. Let's make way for 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.680 our good Buddy Ross Tucker hosts of the Ross Tucker 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:23.400 Football podcast and works for CBS in Westwood One. He 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.000 joins us on the program. Let me let me start 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.520 off with Baker Mayfield. What do you do you think 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.800 the Browns eventually just pony up and give him that 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.320 big contract extension. No, I don't think they're going to dan. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:41.360 I think they're smart enough with Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry, 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.279 a couple of Ivy League guys. I might add, I 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.919 think that they're smart enough to realize that Baker is 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.880 a good quarterback. He's not a great quarterback. He's not 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.280 worthy of one of those contracts. I mean, I can 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:58.760 name fifteen quarterbacks off the top of my head, probably better, 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.640 clearly better than Baker Mayfield. I think they're happy with 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.120 him as a starter. But the weird thing about quarterbacks 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:09.440 is there's like no middle ground. I mean, you're either 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:12.840 getting over forty million a year or you're getting ten 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.440 million or less. It's just crazy. And the guy's getting 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.760 twenty eight million or twenty four like Jimmy Garoppolo. It's 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.320 just because he signed his contract three years ago now 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.640 and it got kind of jumped over. I don't see 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.760 how you do that. I heard you earlier, Dan, you 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.920 made a terrific point. Nobody else is gonna give him 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.479 that money, you know, Like, I don't think that there's 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.640 a team that's gonna say, oh yeah, Cleveland doesn't love 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.760 him enough to pay him, but we're going to. There 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:44.799 will always be draft picks, there will always be other guys, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.440 but I think you will cove it more than Baker Mayfield. 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.320 We keep talking about devaluing the running back position, and 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.440 last night was another example. I just don't see a 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.839 team where you go, we gotta get that running back. 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.800 There's Derek Hanny and then there's a bunch of other 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:06.760 running backs. I like Kamara McCaffrey. I would not have 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.920 given him an extension. Sae Quon Barkley's not going to 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:14.280 get a contract extension. And it doesn't matter at that position. 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.640 Do you think it'll ever matter at that position where 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:21.039 you actually waste a first round draft pick? Now, I 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.400 know the Steelers did, but you know, do you do 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.159 that a top fifteen pick on a running back? Well, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.480 I don't like the top ten or top fifteen pick. 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.440 I don't mind down in the twenties. I think the 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:38.640 real problem is when you give him a huge second contract. Now, clearly, 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:43.320 as you reference Dan, Derrick Henry's a difference maker. I mean, 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.760 I've seen that guy in person. I didn't recognize him 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.320 at first. It was the SEC Championship game. I thought 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.559 he was a d end. I was like, Hey, who's 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.839 that guy. They're like, that's Derrick Henry. I'm like, that's 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.640 Derek Henry. And Dan you're you're older than me. But 0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:01.920 I can't remember another one hundred and fifty pound man 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.240 that was that fast. I mean the other night he 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.640 was going just about twenty two miles per hour, which 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:12.160 is the fastest of any NFL player with the ball 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.080 in their hands this year. I mean, think about that. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.520 Somebody said Christian McCoy, Christian Accoire was pretty fast. Bo 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.520 Jackson was crazy fast. But bo Jackson wasn't two fifty. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.480 But anyway that you guys can debate that later in 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.120 terms of what you said about McCaffrey. You know, the 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:29.840 only thing I would say about that Dan is he 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.000 is so valuable in the passing game. The Panthers are 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:36.200 three and ozo in games he starts, and oh and 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.760 three in games he doesn't. And he had been so 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:44.239 durable until he signed that contract. But your overall point 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.120 is a good one. I mean, I think we saw 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:50.880 it last night again. Offensive line means a great deal. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.640 You look at the best teams in the league, you 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:55.280 look at the worst teams in the league. More often 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.920 than not, it directly correlates to the quality or lack thereof, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:04.320 of the offensive line. Yeah. I'm watching Odell Beckham last 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:09.240 night and I know that he's not healthy. But he's 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.240 in the wrong system. Okay, that's what I don't understand now. 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.200 Granted they brought him in before they brought in Kevin Stefanski, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.160 but he just doesn't fit that system. But do you 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.760 still keep Odell Beckham just because he still has that 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.600 star power and the defense at least has to acknowledge 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.200 that he's in the game. I think if the Browns 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.560 got a good offer for him, they would strongly consider 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.559 moving him. I just don't know who's going to do that. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:39.760 I mean, with his injury history, especially the last couple 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.560 of years, and lack of production, who wants to take 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.120 on that salary. I don't think anybody does. And honestly, 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.720 Odell Beckham Junior is one of those guys. Dan He 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.400 kind of makes me sad like he's one of the 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.760 all time what ifs. His first two years, I remember 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.120 thinking this guy could be like Jerry Rice, Like his 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.240 first two years were incredible. But then he started to, 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.360 you know, do all the get all these personal foul penalties, 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.480 and then there was the stuff off the field, and 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.319 you just realized he wasn't going to be like Jerry Rice. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.079 And I don't know how people will take this, but 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.920 it just wasn't important enough to him. And I'm not 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.079 criticizing him for that. I'd probably be just like Odell. 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.240 You could probably go to Germany and get like three 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.080 million dollars to do some endorsement over there. Like, I'm 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.400 not mad at Odell, but he decided early on in 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:35.480 his career that the off the field stuff was pretty 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.319 important to him. And that's okay, it's his life. But 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.360 I really thought he could be like an all time great. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.360 But it's been the off the field distractions and the 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:47.000 injuries that have prevented him from really even getting close 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.040 to what he could have been. Why are the Dolphins 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:56.440 at least reportedly trying to trade for Deshaun Watson. Their 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:01.559 owner is not very patient and frankly, I wouldn't be either. 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.760 I mean, can you I don't know how old Stephen 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.360 Ross is. I think he's in his seventies. Let me 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.920 just tell you right now. I'm going on record right now, 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.760 if I'm a billionaire in my seventies and I own 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.480 a sports franchise, I'm not gonna be patient at all. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:21.080 I mean, not even a little bite. What's that he's 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:27.200 eighty one? Yeah? Even more reason. And that's why DeShawn 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.880 Watson ultimately is going to get traded because one of 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.720 these owners, David Tepper of the Panthers. These guys are 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:40.040 used to getting what they want. It must be infuriating 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.520 to be able to literally pay for anything in life 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.640 you want other than winning, other than having a good 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.760 quarter I mean, these guys can call their private jet 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.160 and fly to Paris tonight if they want and do 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.079 whatever they want to do in Paris, but you can't 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.440 buy that in the NFL. But they want it, so 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.880 they're gonna do what it takes to get a quarterback 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:06.560 that gives them a chance to win championships because they 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.680 have big egos and they want to win championships. Jared 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.800 Goff goes back to Los Angeles and I guess he's 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.240 going to play with a chip on his shoulder. I 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:17.360 don't know how that feels when you play with a 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.800 chip on your shoulder going into a game like this, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.640 but it feels like it's dangerous from the standpoint of 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.040 I want to try to do more than what I 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.679 probably should. What do you think? So? Yeah, So I 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.280 don't know what that is like for a quarterback. I 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.679 can distinctly remember in two thousand and two, after Steve 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.800 Spurrier and Washington release me, I actually started Dan for 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:45.840 the Cowboys like a month later on Thanksgiving against Washington, 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.800 and I distinctly thought about, if it's like a sweep 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.240 to that side, maybe I could take a dB and 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.600 run them right in the Spurrier and knock him over 0:11:55.679 --> 0:12:00.679 withdrew him in. I had that mental image. So I 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.760 don't know what you do as a quarterback, but as 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.240 a lineman, you think about, man, there might be some 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.160 way if I'm near the sideline, I can chuck it 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.439 the guy in the Spurrier's legs didn't work out. That 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.480 was very hard to do, very hard to pull off. 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.760 By the way, it's a wake forest at Army, Yeah, 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.280 wake forest undefeat. This is a sneaky good game that 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.400 you got. Well, what's awesome about it? Dan? It's not 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.840 a great Saturday of college football games. There's not a 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.440 lot of great matchups. So everybody at noon. The game 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.080 is sold out. It's at Mikey Stadium. It's sold out. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.400 Wake Forest, best season, best start since nineteen forty four. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.400 They're four and oz in the ACC there's six and oz. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.040 They've got a great chance to win the conference with 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:49.120 Clemson being down, but Army's tough, especially at home. I 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:54.040 absolutely cannot wait for this game new tomorrow, CBS Sports Network. 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:57.160 Could you start for a Division three team right now? 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:04.360 That is a great question. Um, I don't think so, man. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.680 I mean, I'm two forty five pounds now. No, But 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.319 you know why, About a month ago, I was on 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.120 Army's field and I thought, you know what, I want 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.960 to change up my workouts a little bit. I ran 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.440 fourteen hundred yards sprint stand but I was just like 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:25.240 jogging him. I wasn't like really sprinting. My hamstrings were 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:29.240 sore for three weeks. Three way. I never do anything 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.400 like that. I think, you know what, I could probably 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:37.520 start at center or guard for a bad division, a 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:41.200 really bad division. Three team and then for a good 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.720 month to two months after that game, being incredibly sore 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:50.000 and mad at myself. Have fun this weekend. Great, Great 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.439 to see you, buddy, Thank you. Oh thanks.

Oh, by the way, Ben Simmons 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:10.800 put his house for sale yesterday, and if you got 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.240 I think two point two million dollars outside of Philadelphia. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.200 There is a basketball court outside. I don't know if 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.600 it's been used, but there is a basketball hoop attached 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:23.360 to the house there with Ben. Yes fall he bought 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.600 it for two point three million five years ago. It's 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:29.760 now four point almost two acres and it's a cul 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:33.040 to zac which is lovely. Yeah, five bedrooms and a 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.200 game room and an aquarium. Okay, there's not a money 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:39.720 pit whatsoever. Yes, Ton, it's hard to get packages though 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.680 there because the mailman refuses to deliver anything that's fun, 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.960 just like Ben Simmons is refusing to That was bad. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:49.920 That wasn't good. I thought I had something there. It 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.680 should have reworked. Huped that a little bit. You should 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.440 say something like that. It has a basketball hoop, but 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:57.640 it's never been used. Once again, I brought everything to 0:16:57.800 --> 0:16:59.960 just a screech. You did not What are you supposed 0:16:59.960 --> 0:17:02.640 to do? It? I just yes, mclovin. That would have 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.040 been good if Karl Malone you're refused to take a shot. 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.639 Not so much with Ben Simmons. Yes, set. One of 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.359 the things that I love when somebody like this puts 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:12.399 their house up is that then they write articles and 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.840 show you pictures up the inside. I love when it's 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.520 wall to wall pictures of themselves and their own jerseys. 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.280 I know that is just so. Hilais got fifty seven 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.400 Ben Simmons jersey's hanging up in there. Yeah, it's just 0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:29.400 his jersey him and then then it's just Ben Simmons 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:34.479 on magazine covers. That's it. I mean, it's not like 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.960 a Rod when a Rod had the Centurion, when it's 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:44.360 half man, half horse, and that's in his house. I mean, 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:47.880 I do have some things in here that you are 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.520 of me. You have a TV show going on Ben Simmons, 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.879 and that's just a house. It's just home. Come on 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:59.399 in you want to see my artwork. Yeah, that's it 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.439 right there. So anyway, I had this portrait of me. 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.760 I've done a present to myself last year for my birthday. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:10.320 I remember I wore that jersey and yeah, I didn't 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.679 make a three pointer in that game either yes, MC. 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.800 They also has a neon sign that says Simmo the 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.360 Savage on it really, which, by the way, I think 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.000 this whole house is cutting his trade value even more. 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:27.240 He thinks of himself as Simmo the Savage, like I honestly, 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.560 these photos are killing the trade. Look, okay, I wonder 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:35.440 if he nicknamed himself that makes it bad Simo Simmo 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:40.160 the Savage, Yeah, boy like Simmons the laid back lefty 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.159 like he's not savage at all. That's the problem. No, 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.520 but I guess he's meeting with management sometime this morning. 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:51.080 The general manager for the Rockets, Sterrell Morey, did an 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.800 interview yesterday and basically said he's not trading Ben Simmons. 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:02.879 This give me four years. The conditions that I'm pointing 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:07.399 out to you don't change unless Ben Simmons is traded 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.080 for a difference Baker. We're in the prime of Joel's career. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.920 We have to get back either Ben Simmons playing well 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.639 for us, who helps us win the championship, or we 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.920 have to get back a difference Baker for Ben Simmons. 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.280 Or this could be four years from now. Okay, you're 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.239 in the prime of Joel Embach career. But then I 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.919 also can look at this. I want to take advantage 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.000 of that, and I don't think having Ben Simmons there 0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:39.280 is going to be taking advantage of Joe Lmbach's prime. 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.120 To me, it hurts his prime. Now, I do want 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.240 to get somebody who can help us win a championship. 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:53.040 Ben Simmons doesn't want to be there. The problem is 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.360 Daryl Morey doesn't. It's not his job to go. How 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.000 do I make Ben Simmons happy by sending him someplace 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:03.520 house that's rich Paul his agent's job. Daryl Morey's job 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:11.399 is Okay, let's maintain, try to build better surround Joel 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.560 Embiid and win a championship here. They should have traded 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:20.159 him in the off season. Everybody talked about that he 0:20:20.160 --> 0:20:24.240 didn't want to be there, and then they had that foe. Hey, 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.680 we want him back. Everybody wants him, and no, they 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.679 didn't want him back, and they should have traded him 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.080 in the off season. Now you have him. He says 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:37.480 he's got a sore back, he doesn't want to play there. Now. 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.879 I do think the ownership is looking at this around 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.399 the NBA because Harden pulled this nonsense. Star players have 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.720 done this where you know I'm gonna stomp my feet 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.400 and I don't want to play here anymore. Okay, we'll act, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.720 we ask him, We'll trade you, I'll get it. You know, 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.680 maybe Philly ownership is just saying nope, I'm gonna happen. 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.439 You got, you got a contract here, live up to 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:00.840 the contract, come on in and play. But it might 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.479 be to the detriment of the team. That would be 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.200 my issue with this. You got Joel Embiid, you got 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:11.359 a pretty good roster, Doc Rivers. You know, what are 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:14.160 you expecting for Ben Simmons? And it feels like now 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.960 whatever you get is not going to be good enough 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:19.600 because we keep waiting. Who's that difference maker you're going 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:25.000 to get? Is CJ. McCollum, is Draymond Green? And one 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.640 of the younger players with Golden State. Like, who's a 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:32.200 difference maker? And if I'm a team, I'm not trading 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:35.359 my difference maker for the guy that you think I 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:39.520 should takes your different difference maker. You can't have it 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:44.200 both ways here, you got damaged goods and therefore what 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:48.560 you're asking for unless somebody gets desperate here, I would 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.720 not be ponying up for Ben Simmons. The NBA seventy 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.040 fifth Anniversary team selected by a panel of current and 0:21:56.160 --> 0:22:03.240 former NBA players, coaches, general managers. Panelists didn't rank their selections. 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:07.240 Current and former players were not allowed to vote for themselves, 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.360 as we often do. You have the seventy five players, 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:15.320 but then we want to talk about those who are 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:19.399 snubs here. And the point is, if you want to 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:23.080 put somebody on, you have to take somebody off because 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.960 you can't go. Tracy McGrady should be on there, Tony 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.159 Parker should be on there, Vince Carter should be Okay, 0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:33.320 who are you taking off? That's really the most important 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.639 part with all of this, because we do this with 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:37.639 the All Star Game, and he's an All Star. Who 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:42.880 are you taking off? And that's how you should approach this. Now, 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:45.000 are there guys that I look at and say, I 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.439 think he's one of the top seventy five players of 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:49.840
