Dan in the 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Dan Ns Dan Patrick Show last time, I was talking 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: about all the great memorabilia I have in the man Cave, 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: and I've been promised a couple things and I'm still 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: waiting for it. I just got my Tim Tebow Jags jersey. 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: But I mentioned two items that I was promised and 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: did not receive. One was Ladanian Tomlinson was going to 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: go to the Vikings late in his career and they 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: gave him a jersey, and I thought, well, he didn't 11 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: go there, but it'd be great, be a nice talking 12 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: point if you had that jersey framed here in the 13 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: man Cave. The other one was Brent Berry, the former 14 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: San Antonio Spur Slam Dunk champion in nineteen ninety six 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: and years ago, I asked Brent Berry, can I have 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: maybe you're warm up your warm up pants when he 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: won the slam Dunk contest, so he ripped off the pants, 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: he kept on and kept his he had his jersey on, 19 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: and then he had his warm up top on and 20 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: he won the slam Dunk contest. Didn't even take off 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: his warm up top and his unbelievable picture of him 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: that you know, he's flying through the air leaving from 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: the foul line, and he wins the slam Dunk contest, 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: and so I said, yeah, hey, every time I see him, Hey, 25 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: still still waiting for that slam Dunk contest uniform. So 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: he's listening. And then he tweeted out that says Dan, 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: it's a pandemic and nobody wants to wear pants right now. 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: Therefore he doesn't want to send me his pants. Lame, 29 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: but I appreciate Brent Berry. It's fair though. Yeah, I 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: guess I would give up an NBA championship ring. He's 31 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: got a few of them, Like Bones may have like 32 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: three or four championship rings in San Antonio, his nickname 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: for the ability to show people that poster of me 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: leaving from the foul line winning the slam Dunk contest. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: I might give up an NBA chant if I have 36 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: like three, I'd give up one just to say, hey, 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: that's me in the slam dunk contest. Yeah, Paul, I 38 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: just rewatched this ninety six dunk contests. He cleanly took 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: off from the foul line like it was not one 40 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: of those cheat inside or heel on the foul line. 41 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: He was clean. Well, I remember Doctor Jay left a 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: little bit in front of the foul line when he 43 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 1: first did it in the slam dunk contest. It was 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: a little bit in front of the free throw line. Jordan, 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: of course did it. I mean, now we're seeing players 46 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: who were able to do it, but Brent Barry doing 47 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: that wearing his clippers gear. Oh, this's just in from 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: John Hayman. The Dodgers are closing in on a deal 49 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: for Cole Hamills. So Max Scherzer makes his debut tonight. 50 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: Yet fifty two thousand last night, and we played a 51 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: little bit of that sound. If you're a Dodger fan, 52 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: can you move on from this? Do you want to 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: move on from this? As long as jose L Twove 54 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: is there? Go ahead, boo. This is what it sounded 55 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: last night at Dodgers Stadium. All right, there you go. 56 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: Cheet Jeter, Jeter, No, chee, Derek Jeter. Yeah. I didn't 57 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: know Cole Hamilets was still playing baseball, but the Dodgers 58 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: are closing in on a deal for him. You know, 59 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: the bigger picture is the Dodgers lost the game, and 60 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: you could make a case that Walker Bueller. It looked 61 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: like his rhythm was interrupted quite a few times because 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: of the atmosphere that was there, the trash cans that 63 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: were there. The Astros are sixty five and forty two, 64 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: Dodgers are sixty four and forty four. But last night 65 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: that's that's playoff atmosphere. They gave out pamphlets in the 66 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: parking lot prior to the game and call the opponent 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: to the trash trows, trash Stros, trash Stros. Yeah, it 68 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: doesn't exactly roll off the tongue Oscar the Grouch. People 69 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: addressed like Oscar the Grouch, who of course lives in 70 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: a garbage can on Sesame Street. They were foam asterisk there. 71 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: It was, It was on. Everybody was into it. But 72 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: you know how many players are from that twenty seventeen 73 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: still there now two bays there, Korea, Lance McCullers, Yeah, mclovin. 74 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: I looked up Cole Hamil's thirty seven. He had a 75 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: tricep injury last year and did like an open workout 76 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: for everyone in the league, and so he's totally coming 77 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: off full injuries, like and it's a kind of a 78 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: risky thing, and I'm going to give credit to the Astros, okay, 79 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: because of what happened before and that they know that 80 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: they're a villain. They're Baseball's villain. But they've played extremely well. 81 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: That's a good team. You don't have the formidable rotation 82 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: that they once had. I mean they they've had some 83 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: really good pitchers go through there, Dallas, Kiko, you had Verlander, 84 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: you had Garrett Cole, and they are an impressive team 85 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: to watch. And uh, Dusty Baker has done a great 86 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: job with that team. And I had somebody who's I'll say, 87 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: i'll be kind here. He's an Astro's apologist. I don't 88 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: want to give away what his job is, but he's 89 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: an and it's not Todd, because Todd doesn't know anybody 90 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: on this froster Exephra Altuve. But he said, uh, you know, hey, 91 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: look at look at what we did. Did we really 92 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: need to cheat? I said, you just answer your question, 93 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: why did you cheat? If you guys are this good, 94 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: then you didn't need to cheat. I don't like That's 95 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: that's the strange thing about it. You have this talent 96 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: if somebody presents you with, hey, I got a full 97 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: proof way of cheating, and we won't get caught like, hey, 98 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: we've done this before other places, and you probably go like, 99 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: at one point you have to make that ness, I'm 100 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: going to cheat, and then you have to the whole 101 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: team has to be in on this, like you at 102 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: least have to say, hey, this is what we're doing now. 103 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: Do I think Justin Verlander was in the dugout hearing, 104 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: you know, trash cans banging and didn't think anything of it. 105 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: I get, what point do you say, what are we doing? 106 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Why are we doing it? Do we need to do it? 107 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: Somebody had to be the grown up in the room, 108 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: and there wasn't no grown up in the room. But 109 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, this isn't a talented team. But this stays 110 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: without two Bay the rest of his career. And I 111 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: don't know if there's going to be any other Hall 112 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: of Fame quality players on that team, but this stays 113 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: with him forever. When he goes to Cooperstown, if he 114 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: gets inducted, he's going to hear this because he's the 115 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: face of it. Yeah. The twenty seventeen Astros as a 116 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: team hit two eighty two that was by far led 117 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: the majors and one of the best team batting averages 118 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: in the past twenty years. They had two eighty two 119 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: and two seventeen. The entire team benefited. Yeah, and then 120 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: but they had those games where they were on the 121 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: road against the Dodgers and they were hitting home runs 122 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: off Kershaw, like they have the talent to do it. 123 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: It's where you go, why would you do it? You know? 124 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: I go back to Barry Bonds. Barry Bonds was going 125 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: to be a Hall of Famer before he joined the Giants. 126 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: But then Barry, I think, just looked around and said, 127 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me. People are celebrating Mark McGuire 128 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: and Sammy Sosa. He had to make that decision to cheat, 129 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: and maybe not at the time knowing if I ever 130 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: got caught, that's going to take away my Hall of 131 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: Fame career that I built up when I played for Pittsburgh. 132 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: You have to make that decision. Those Dodger players made 133 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: that decision not thinking they were going to get Nobody 134 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: nobody does it and goes, what if I get caught 135 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: or I might get caught. You kind of go, yeah, 136 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: all right, let me give you a shot and this 137 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: will stay at the Astros. And I if you said 138 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: to l two but hey, you're gonna cheat, You're gonna 139 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: get caught. You don't lose any money. They don't take 140 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: away the World Series trophy might impact you making it 141 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Does he sign up 142 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: for that? Because in his mind he had to at 143 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: least start to do the math on this and go, 144 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: h is it worth it? But you're always thinking it's 145 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: not like when you rob a bank. You go, what 146 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: if I get caught? Like you're not thinking that, Hey 147 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna steal a car? What if I get caught. No, 148 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: you just go, oh, I'm gonna steal a car. Oh 149 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: I got caught? What was I thinking? Yes, McLean the 150 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: same question with like a Robinson Canoe got caught multiple times. 151 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: We've made up. I just look up the salary over 152 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: two hundred million. Yeah, these guys didn't lose anything. And 153 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: I have a problem with that that they should have 154 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: vacated that trophy. That you can't punish these players then 155 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: then take away their trophy. Yeah, but that's what's so 156 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: odd of out Jose al Tuove in particular, right, And 157 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: I mean I know this is sort of where he 158 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: started with everything but their baseball and cheating is like synonymous. 159 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: You know, they go hand in hand too much, to 160 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: the point where just all of these pictures were like whoa. 161 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: It's kind of passed down between generations, so it's not 162 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: really cheating, you know. But for some reason, this dude 163 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: is the face of cheating for everybody. Seems odd. I 164 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: think it's the way they cheated. It's almost as if 165 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 1: they tested positive for steroids, we would have gone, oh okay, 166 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: that explains something. You know, you had systematic cheating with 167 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: espionage technology, Like we don't like technology at wires and 168 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: stuff like, I like modern technology, but I don't like 169 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: modern technology when it comes to how my my, you know, 170 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: teams cheat. Yeah, I have to draw too far, too far? No, sorry, 171 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: gotta put my foot down. It's just too far. Yeah. 172 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: Imagine the Astrost did the same exact thing, but it 173 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: was just a guy at second base and they had 174 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: leg taps, but they they we had video and they 175 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: were signaling about that's that's that's fine, it's legal. It's 176 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: the exact same thing, but without the technology and the 177 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: organized team effort. But you needed the technology to be 178 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: able to do it. And you go back and listen 179 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: to some of those home runs. You talk about being 180 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's sitting dead red, like you're sitting waiting, 181 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: you know what's coming, and you hear some of those 182 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: hits like it's it's uh, those are those are bombs? 183 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: Like they know what's coming, and so go ahead, boo boo, 184 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: you tell your heart's content. Never happened. I just yelling 185 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: out a goold fashion curveball. M hmm. That's when a 186 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: guy gets hit in the hand. Yes, they do that, 187 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: so they would frown upon that as well. They would, Yes, 188 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,359 Speaker 1: they would unwritten rules of baseball. Yes, time no accusations, 189 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: but Showhey's bad seems to sound like someone that knows 190 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: exactly where that ball is going to be placed. Yeah, 191 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: but you did preface it by saying no at all. 192 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: He just that sounded that bad. Feels feels like there's 193 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: an accusation in your no accusation. Definitely, He's just a 194 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: rare unicorn special case. Uh. The pull question today, mcloven 195 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: is when can we stop booting the Astros after this series? 196 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: I got the Dodgers after this season or never? Um? Yeah, 197 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: you know whatever you feel best. You know, every every 198 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: fan base once probably once a shot at him, but 199 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: certainly the Dodgers did, and you got it last night? 200 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: Is that enough? Where you go? All right, let's move on. 201 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: Whether you got tonight? Max Scherz are making his debut. Yes, 202 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: mcloven By the way, how do we know what show 203 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: Hay's translators really saying to him? He could be saying, 204 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: Slider coming here, okay, yelling from the tight No, that's terrible, 205 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: this is terrible. Someone's gonna listen to this. I did 206 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: say we accused Showhey, of course we did. That's mclovin. 207 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: That's no, it's time. It's time. Yeah, and you friends, 208 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: you kind of co signed with that. In the back row, 209 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers may one out of the house. I don't 210 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: know if he wants to sounds like he wants to 211 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: play again and just in case the Colts would reach out. 212 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: Sounds like he would be available. The Lakers have loaded 213 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: up Carmelo, Anthony, Malik Monk, Kendrick Nunn, you got Wayne Ellington, 214 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: Kent Baysmore. We'll talk to Frankis Solo covers the NBA. 215 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: He'll join us coming up here in a moment and 216 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: get his thoughts on what the Lakers did. Are they 217 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: a better team? There's certainly an interesting team, far more 218 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: interesting than they were this past year. But this is 219 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: Lebron James. Does if they win, does Lebron get votes 220 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: for GM of the Year because it feels like Lebron 221 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,599 Speaker 1: reaching out saying, hey, just come in one year and 222 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 1: you get Melo, Which it's a nice story. I just 223 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: don't know how much better that makes you? Do I 224 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: like Mellow being able to shoot open threes. Yes, And 225 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: I'll continue to say this until I'm proven wrong. When 226 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,599 Speaker 1: you have players who shoot well with teams that the 227 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: expectation levels not very high. And so I see that 228 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: the shooting percentages with Wayne Ellington, Carmelo, Anthony Kent, Baysmore, 229 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: Malik Monk, all right, they shoot over from three point range. Well, 230 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: taking a three pointer in a Hornets game or a 231 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Blazer's game, or a King's game or a Knicks game 232 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: is a whole lot different than taking a three in 233 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: a big game with the Lakers, because you're gonna be 234 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: playing meaningful games and it's not that hey, who cares 235 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: if I missed this shot. It's gonna be how did 236 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 1: you miss that shot? Why did you miss that shot? 237 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: And that's the tricky part when it comes to players 238 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: joining a really good team, are you able to do 239 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: what you did when you were on a team that 240 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: wasn't very good? Paul and Iowa joins us. Hey, Paul, 241 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Horns down guys, Hey, what's 242 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: going on right? Well, you know you mentioned last hour 243 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: you said Hotel two Hall of Fame in the same sentence, 244 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: and I got a little more riled up than I 245 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: thought I would because, first off, baseball didn't punish any 246 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: of these guys, and that you think that he would 247 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: have a shot at the Hall of Fame while they 248 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: won't let in Pete Rose. So there was no concrete 249 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: evidence that Pete Rose actively tried to alter games, while 250 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: we know with proof that jose Al Tube altered games 251 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: to his benefit and won a World Series altering games. 252 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: So I just want your opinion on comparing jose Al 253 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Tube and his Hall of Fame chances to the Pete 254 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: Rose situation. You have to take Pete out of this 255 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: because he broke a rule that you can't break. Gets 256 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: posted gambling, and you know Pete betting on his team. 257 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: Let's say he bet on his team, bet on his team, 258 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: and he said this too many years ago that he 259 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: bet on his team every again to win. Well, first 260 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: of all, that'll tell you why Pete was not a 261 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: good gambler. But you can manipulate the lineup to win. 262 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: I might have to bring John Franco back as my closer, 263 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: and you know, because I'm trying to win this bet, 264 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: and maybe I use a picture that shouldn't be used 265 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: or a picture that you know, a reliever that shouldn't 266 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: be used like this, And now it gets into tricky, 267 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: tricky area there with Pete. Pete shouldn't be in the 268 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame now as a player, if they want 269 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: to put him in, great, but you know what happened 270 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: as a manager. I mean that's the reason why he's 271 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: not in the Hall of Fame. Do I think Pete 272 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: was gambling when he was playing, I do absolutely, And 273 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: I had a front row seat for Pete Rose growing 274 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: up in Cincinnati. But it's different with Altuve. I mean, 275 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: Barry Bonds manipulated games by using steroids. I mean, he 276 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: was trying to win, but that's manipulating a game. You're 277 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: changing a game. Guys using steroids have done that. So 278 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: like we get into that area of who is and 279 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: who isn't and who should be and who shouldn't. You know, Hey, 280 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: I only used it for a little while. Okay, does 281 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: a Rod get in because he's got unbelievable stats, but 282 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: he tested positive a couple of times. No, he shouldn't. 283 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: Mark McGuire paid the price, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, 284 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: tuv is probably not gonna pay the price for the 285 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: cheating scandal. Just not right. When we come back, the 286 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: Lakers better today than they were last week.

The New York 313 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: Knicks will sign Kemba Walker as a free agent. Sources 314 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: tell the athletic spring in. Frank I Sola, the Nets 315 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: studio host on Yes also as a Sirius XM radio show, 316 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: the starting lineup and contributor to Around the Horn and 317 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: part of the Interruption. Let me start there, the Knicks. 318 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: They're they're getting these these players. Yes, it's the magic 319 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: of the playoffs that went against the Hawks. Frank, they 320 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: got Kemba Walker, and your reaction is, well, he as 321 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, Dan, he is in New Yorker, so and 322 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: he's an upgrade on what they had. So he put 323 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: him with Derek Roses, your two point guards. It's not terrible. 324 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: You know the problem with Kemba Walker. We saw him 325 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: get exposed a couple of times or a few times defensively. 326 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: He is undersize, and the big thing with him will 327 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: be can he stay healthy? Remember last year the Celtics, 328 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: they weren't playing Kembaton back to backs. The idea was 329 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: to keep him ready and fresh for the playoffs, and 330 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: then he ended up missing playoff games. So who knows 331 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: what his health is at this point. All right, let's 332 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: look at the Lakers step by step, move by move 333 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: here when they Let's start with Russell. So that upgrade 334 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: for you? You like the move with Russell Westbrook, I 335 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: like it during the regular season. How it works in 336 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs, I don't know, because you know, he's a 337 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: ball dominant guard who's not a great shooter. And you know, 338 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: when you do get to the playoffs. In these you know, 339 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: crucial moments of games, you want the ball in Lebron 340 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: James's hands. So if Russell Westbrook gonna be playing off 341 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: the ball, and if so, is he going to be 342 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: the one knocking down shots? I get it. To get 343 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: through a regular season, Lebron, you know, doesn't want to 344 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: play eighty two games at the stage of his career. 345 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: He wants guys to carry him. And it's almost as 346 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: if he knows now that Anthony Davis can't be that guy. 347 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: I understand why they did it. In theory, it's an upgrade. 348 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see how it works during the postseason. Yeah, 349 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that. It feels like Russ. He 350 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: never takes a possession off, like every possession matters to him, 351 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: and you'll play hard the entire regular season, although there 352 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: are times when I want him to maybe take a 353 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: couple of plays off or not every possession mean as much. 354 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: All right, now you get Melo. What do you think 355 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: of the addition of Melo? Yeah, I mean, if you 356 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: look at Carmelo the last few years, I mean he's 357 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: accepted his role. He's now a bit player who will 358 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: play between twenty and twenty five minutes a game. He 359 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: could still knock down mid range jumpers. I get it. 360 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: He and Lebron have been friends since high school. They've 361 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: always wanted to play together. They played together on the 362 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: national team, They've been in All Star teams together. I 363 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: think it's I think it's fine because you're not getting Carmelo. 364 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: You're not asking him to be your starting power forward. 365 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: He is getting up there in age, but he proved 366 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: on Portland he could be a contributing player. I think 367 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: he wants to make a runout. You've seen that list. 368 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 1: There's only eight guys that have won a national championship, 369 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: a college championship, and then a gold medal, and Carmelo 370 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: wants to be the ninth guy to do that. All right. 371 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: The other additions here, who stands out more well? Westbrook 372 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: is obviously a really good one, Malik Monk, Kent More, 373 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: Wayne Ellington. I mean they needed shooting, so in theory, 374 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, Wayne Ellington isn't a bad one. 375 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: I think getting Dwight Howard back is good, you know, Dan, 376 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: If you look last year with Mantres Harrold, they got 377 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: Montress Harold on a bargain basement contract, and he did 378 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: not play well. I mean, he really didn't give them 379 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: a lot. And it's interesting if you look at what 380 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: happened with Jannison Teta Coompo in the finals where Phoenix 381 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: really didn't have anybody after DeAndre At to deal with him. 382 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, size seems to matter again in 383 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: the NBA and Dwight Howard helped the Lakers when they 384 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: won a title, and Dwight has kind of become in 385 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, morphing into a bit of a 386 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman type where he's constantly out there trying to 387 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: agitate the opposition, trying to draw technical fouls. He's really 388 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: done a good job developing into that kind of role player. 389 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna help them a lot for 390 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: the money. To me, he's an upgrade over Mantres Harrowd. Yeah. 391 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: And I agree with you on the rod and Dwight 392 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: Howard comparison because knowing your role is really important when 393 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: you get on a Lebron team. And I also wonder 394 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: can they do anything with Dennis Shrewder with a signing trade. 395 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: Can the Lakers, because I still it's weird through free 396 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: agency I mentioned this. I thought of Dame Lillard and 397 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: Dennis Shrewder. Shrewder turning down the extension with the Lakers, 398 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: and then was he going to be in no man's 399 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: land and Dame Lillard looking around going we got Cody 400 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: Zeller and Tony Snell. We're in Ben McLamore, We're not 401 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: going anywhere. But can the Lakers benefit from Dennis Shrewder 402 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: with a signing trade. Yeah, they could still get something 403 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: for him. And that's why you love when guys say 404 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: bet on yourself. Well, Dennis Shrewder, bet on himself. It 405 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: really hasn't worked out at this point. He should have 406 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: taken that eighty four million dollar contract that he was offered. 407 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: You mentioned Damian Lillard. I would think that this year 408 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: they'll try to get through the season with Lillard and 409 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: if it doesn't work out, then I could see a trade, 410 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, at the earliest the deadline. I doubt that 411 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: would happen. I could see something with Damian Lillard around 412 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 1: next year NBA Draft. That's usual when these big deals 413 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: tend to happen. So if it doesn't work out for Portland, 414 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: if they're not making steady progress in the Western Conference, 415 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: I think that Damian Lillewood will be out by next summer. 416 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: Steph Curry signed a new extension and the last year 417 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: of that deal, I think he makes close to sixty 418 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: million dollars. Crazy, Where is this? Can? This is this sustainable? 419 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: Frank that I don't know how it is? And you 420 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: know that a lot of owners are talking about this. 421 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: And when the collective barning Agreement, whatever it does, expire, 422 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: it's got to be something that will be addressed. At 423 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: least Steph Curry in his case. Now, who knows what 424 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: he's going to be like five years from now when 425 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: the contract expires, because it doesn't even kick in until 426 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: next season. But he has been an unbelievable player, two 427 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: time All Start, He's won finals there, he's been He's 428 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: revitalized that entire organization, one of the reasons they were 429 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: able to build that amazing arena that they have. But 430 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: there's going to come a point where you look at 431 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: some of these contracts, even Lonzo Ball getting four years, 432 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: eighty five million. He's a very good player. All he's 433 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: done has been on losing teams and it's you know, 434 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: so I get it, you're paying for potential with Steph. 435 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: You're paying for services already rendered. But the money is crazy. 436 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: I think in the NBA world they're calling it Dan 437 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: Patrick money is Steph Curry got. Yeah, it's very much. 438 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: I think it's Bill Simmons money. But but but sixteen 439 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: million where you know, we we freak out when Patrick 440 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes signs his deal and we go, oh my god, 441 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: they're paying him that much, and you're going like he 442 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: would be just another marquee player in the NBA with 443 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: his salary here. Yeah, I remember when Eli Manning first 444 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: signed his contract with the Giants, he said it was 445 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: one hundred million, but the guaranteed money was what Trevor 446 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: a Reasa was making on a middle level exception. So 447 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: Eli Manning was basically getting Trevor a reason money. But Dan, 448 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: you know this, when you go back to Michael Jordan's 449 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: last two years with the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan got 450 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: thirty million for both those he was like, you know, 451 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: in the thirty to thirty five million dollar range, and 452 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: even back then you're like, you know what, he's definitely 453 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: worth it. But now you think all these years later, 454 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: Steph curR essentially is going to be making double that. Amazing, 455 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: But it didn't count against the cap with Jordan didn't No, no, 456 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: he was Remember that's when the Knick fans, as you know, 457 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: I mean, we're still playing this game where the Nick 458 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: fan was thinking maybe Michael Jordan would take the midd 459 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: level exception or minimum to come play in New York. 460 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: And then Jerry Ryansor stepped up to the plane and said, 461 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: I'll give you thirty million, and then I think it 462 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: was thirty and thirty three million, and Michael Jordan wisely 463 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: stayed in Chicago, won two more championships and got his money. 464 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: Do you think the Knicks feel Zion Williamson will be 465 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: in play for them in a couple of years. I 466 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: definitely think they do believe that. And when Zion played 467 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden the last time around, he recited 468 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 1: all the familiar verses about it ste mecca basketball, It's 469 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: a great place to play the whole. It was almost 470 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: as if the Knicks gave him a script. And you 471 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: look at New Orleans, you know they got a lot 472 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: of good young players. They haven't come close to sniffing 473 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs yet so and the Western Conference is tough, 474 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: so it could get to a point with Zion where 475 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: the Pelicans in the same position they were in with 476 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, where you're looking to get assets straff picks. 477 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: At least that's something that right now. The Nicks still 478 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: have the Kawhi Leonard situation with the Clippers where coming 479 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: off the acl does he even play this year? Does 480 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: he want to play this year? What do you like 481 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: the Clippers? It feels like they're damned if they do, 482 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: damned if they don't. What do you think makes the 483 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: most sense in this situation from the Clippers perspective, Well, 484 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: considering everything that they gave up to get Paul George 485 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: all those first round picks, do they really have any 486 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: other option but to resign Kawhi Leonard likely not going 487 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: to play this season. Just a similar situation with the 488 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: Nets and Kevin Duran his first year there where he 489 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: didn't play and then you just keep your fingers crossed 490 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: he's going to be able to healthy enough and he'll 491 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: still come back in top form. What I don't get, though, Dan, 492 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: is you have Kawhi You know it came out now 493 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: quite in say it was reports that he wanted to 494 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: talk to other teams, talk to other teams about what. 495 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: First of all, not a lot of teams have money, 496 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: and at some point, I know this is like a 497 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: bad word in sports. Does lay ever come into the equation. 498 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 1: You wanted them to go out and get Paul George. 499 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: They moved heaven and earth to get him, And now 500 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: here you are, knowing that you're not even gonna play, 501 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: and you're saying, well, maybe I'll talk to other teams. 502 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Yeah, I think there's a 503 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: lot of things that go on behind the scenes with 504 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: Kauai that if it was somebody else, we would be 505 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: calling them out. Yeah, it feels like, you know, because 506 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: Kawhi is not media friendly, you don't hear much from him, 507 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: But it feels like somebody's pulling strings behind the scenes here, 508 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: whether it's Kawuhi or his uncle, Like something's going on 509 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: there and it doesn't seem like he gets a lot 510 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: of blame. No, he doesn't. I think maybe being aloof 511 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: has something to do with the fact that you said 512 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: he's really not that engaging with the media. Even when 513 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: they lost last year, when they blew the three one 514 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: lead to the Denver Nuggets. You're the star player of 515 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: the team usually in those situations. If that's Lebron wherever 516 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: he is. If it's Patrick Ewigh, he was in New York, 517 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna get crushed. And it was like, well, Doc Rivers, 518 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: it's truly his fault that we lost, or it's this 519 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,880 Speaker 1: guy's fault or Paul George. Nobody really blamed the star 520 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: of the team. And it's his uncle Dennis, who who 521 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: I think is sometimes pulling the string. So, by the way, 522 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: lives in the same area as Kyrie Irving, so that 523 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: would be a good little lunch steak, get together with 524 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: Uncle Dennis and Kyrie talk basketball. How did the Nets 525 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: do in the offseason. I think they did really well. 526 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: First of all, the three talented players that they have 527 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: should be healthy for the start of the season. But 528 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, Patty Mills is good yea, and Patty Mills 529 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: was thinking about the Lakers came to the Nets. I'm 530 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: sure the whole Sean Marks, you know, the San Antonio 531 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: sperm mafia, Steve Nashby, international player like Patty Mills, I'm 532 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: sure that'll back do in. That's a great signing for them. 533 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: Go back to the playoffs. Joe Harris, great regular season, 534 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: but some clutch moments, especially in that game seven couldn't 535 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: knock down the shot. Patty Mills will make those shots. Yeah, 536 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: I brought that up. It's one thing to hit a 537 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: jumper when you're blown teams out by thirty in the 538 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: regular season and you're you're having an and one mixtape there. Yeah, 539 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: But when it's this possession, you need to hit this shot. 540 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: And that's why I wonder about the players the Lakers 541 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: is brought in for the most part, these guys Malik 542 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: Munt and Kent Baysmore, Wayne Ellington, they haven't hit big shots. Yeah, 543 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: they haven't hit big shots, and I think that'll that'll 544 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: be you know the interesting part of this. Would you 545 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: bet on the Lakers playing for a championship this year? 546 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: The only reason why I think I might is just 547 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: because I don't know the situation with Jamal Murray in 548 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: Denver there. You know, he had he got injured April twelfth. 549 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: The season is going to end right around that time, 550 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: so that's a year out of having ACL surgery. Kawhi 551 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: is not going to play, and the big thing will be, 552 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: and it's true of everybody, health will be a factor. 553 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: If Lebron is healthy, Anthony Davis is healthy, by the 554 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: start of the playoffs. I think the Lakers can get there. 555 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: The Nets probably have a bit of a tougher road 556 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: with Milwaukee in Miami, but I think the Nets are 557 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: the best team, and maybe you'll get a finals with 558 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: the dynamic between Kyrie and Lebron, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, 559 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: and then in the case of Anthony Davis and James Harden, 560 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: the two guys that forced their way out of their 561 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: teams pretty nast divorce. So it almost works perfectly if 562 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: we get them in NBA Finals. Good to talk to you, Frank, 563 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: Thanks Dan, Take care. That's Frank Eisola, Nets studio host 564 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: on Yes also has his own show in Serious XM 565 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: NBA Radio, the Starting Lineup and contributor to Around the 566 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 1: Horn and pardon the interruption. Yeah, you start to look 567 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: at winners and losers, and it's really difficult because I 568 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: have no idea of what these new editions are going 569 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: to mean for the Lakers. Things look good, sound good, 570 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: appear good on paper, but it's like the newer, the fresher, 571 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: the you know, I didn't see that happening like that 572 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: fascinates us. The Bucks didn't do anything. I don't know 573 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: if that's a good thing or not. But you know 574 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: they won the title without Dante de Vincenzo, who was 575 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: a starter. You lose PJ. Tucker. They didn't do much. 576 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 1: The Nets got Patty Mills, who I like, but they 577 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: didn't do much. Yeah, I'm a club. Are you know 578 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: where we go in here? Where is that? Are you saying? No, 579 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: you're not at all? I'm saying, is this going to 580 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 1: be one of those asterisk titles? Because for for Lebron, 581 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: for the Bucks, because everyone's gonna say, oh, this wasn't 582 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: the real playoffs. You know what I don't hate. Yeah, 583 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,239 Speaker 1: it's it's unfair to the Bucks because all they did 584 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: is beat who was ever in front of them, Like 585 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: they stayed healthy it I said this at the start 586 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: of the playoffs, whoever is healthiest and makes their free 587 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: throws gonna win the title. And Jannis got hurt in 588 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs and they still overcame that. But it came 589 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: down to he came back, he was healthy, he made 590 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: his free throws. They won the championship. You know, Kevin 591 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: Durant's foot is on the line. That's on Kevin Durant. 592 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: You know I can't go well, the Bucks wouldn't have won. Yeah, 593 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: I get that. I mean Michael Jordan beat a Laker 594 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: team when Lebron was Magic was hurt. Nobody brings that up. 595 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: Oh they you know the Bulls beat Portland in the finals. Okay, 596 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: that was a great Portland team, wasn't that in an 597 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: all time team? A lot of talent, Kurcydorthy, that's my pride. 598 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: But the Bucks they're like fourth now in the Vegas odds, 599 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: so that meaning like people don't necessarily think they're there. 600 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: And I said last year they're better as an underdog 601 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: than a favorite. They were probably fourth in the odds 602 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: or maybe further down. I still want to see what 603 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: Philadelphia is doing. They picked up Andre Trummond, so you 604 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: got him and Joe lmbid and they've had a beef 605 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: for a few years here. But can you can you 606 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: get somebody for Ben Simmons? And if you do, is 607 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: that enough where we look at them when we say 608 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: if if the Sixers got Damian Lillard? Okay, now it's different. Yeah. See, 609 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: we just had somebody say recently that the quiet teams 610 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: are always working on something. It kind of feels like 611 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: the Sixers and maybe Portland where they didn't really make 612 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: any big moves, but they're all in on making that 613 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: one move. But who is going to Portland? Like, what 614 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: do you do unless you're getting Ben Simmons in there? 615 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: Like Ben Simmons, two other players in a first rounder 616 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: for Damian Lillard. Yeah, maybe, But if I'm Portland, then 617 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: I have to decide who are we? Then you're gonna 618 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: get rid of Damian Lillard. And considering now that the Knicks, 619 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: excuse me, that the Sixers have to reload, considering the 620 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: Knicks just took over, Oh oh okay, this Kemba Walker move. 621 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: Now the Sixers are gonna go. We gotta go get 622 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: Damian list completely. Yes, the Sixers. Also, there was a 623 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: report that we didn't talk about that they tried to 624 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: trade Tobias Harris this offseason two. But nobody wants that contract. 625 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: Give him Ben and Tobias for that's a that's a 626 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: good players for Damien. When your voice goes up, you 627 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: mean July yeah, yeah, yeah, or you know you're not 628 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 1: even buying into your own bs yam Yeah. I mean 629 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: imagine if somebody was selling you something. Hey, I'm looking 630 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: for an engagement ring. You know, it's a it's a good. 631 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: You know, dude, decent quality at you know, it's not 632 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: a bad price. You're gonna go, Uh no, hey, how 633 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: is this? Uh? What's the neighborhood like I'm buying this? Say, hey, 634 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: you know it's a transition. You know it's up and coming. 635 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna I'm gonna pass on this. Yes, Paul, 636 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: you know you buy a used car from a guy? 637 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 1: How's the rust situation? I'm saying it's not bad. It's 638 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: not bad at all. You know, I don't even look well, 639 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: look at the pain. All right, we'll take a break. 640 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: Phone calls coming up top the next hour. Rankings are 641 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: out the best wide receiving corps in the NFL. I'm surprised. 642 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: I'm surprised that at least three of the top five here. Well, uh, 643 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that coming up. And I think we're 644 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: gonna hear from Joey Voto of the Reds. And that's 645 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: Pauli's guy.
