Speaker 1: first of all, because we told you that over the weekend,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin was really released. Now that we're here that
Speaker 1: Eric Decker will not be on the jet. But the
Speaker 1: first question is which of these wide receivers can help
Speaker 1: an NFL and your fantasy football team the most. Is
Speaker 1: it Jeremy Macklin or is it Eric Decker or is
Speaker 1: it an Kwan Bolden who is also still out there
Speaker 1: as a free agent. Also want to know is this
Speaker 1: NBA Finals gonna be worth the way? Is it gonna
Speaker 1: be worth the hype? We have that up on our
Speaker 1: pole question right now as well. Later on though we
Speaker 1: put the Fun and Functional Sports Radio, we'll find out
Speaker 1: how the Ryan Brothers are spending their time in Nashville
Speaker 1: during the Stanley Cup Finals, who Joe Mixon is starting
Speaker 1: to train with, and there's a new theme park out
Speaker 1: in China that we're gonna have to tell you about.
Speaker 1: All that and more on this episode of the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: I'm your boy, Dame Martinez, holding you down, Okay, on
Speaker 1: the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. We're doing a
Speaker 1: good thing here over at Studio thirty four and Rock
Speaker 1: and Riley's in midtown Manhattan. We got some people outside
Speaker 1: having a good time at a happy hour. Come back
Speaker 1: after the break. You can grab a drink yourself and
Speaker 1: then come back. All right, day Martinez Fantasy Freestyle. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Fantasy Freestyle. Here on the Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. I'll mean boy Dane Martinez holding you down
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday at tappy hour here at Rock and
Speaker 1: Riley's in Studio fifty four, Studio fifty four. The Studio
Speaker 1: thirty four, Studio fifty four was a whole different thing
Speaker 1: here in New York. But you know, if you're of
Speaker 1: a certain age, you may remember a little Studio fifty
Speaker 1: four as well. But we are here at Studio thirty
Speaker 1: four and Rock and Riley's on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: Dame Martinez and my man Donnie Burns, the basketball correspondent
Speaker 1: and love doctor. We're gonna get into our starting line
Speaker 1: up here around Major League Baseball. I got some news
Speaker 1: and notes. First last night's game, Mariners outfielder and stud
Speaker 1: with the boomstick, Nelson Cruz left after um you know,
Speaker 1: he singled in the fourth inning, had a little calf
Speaker 1: flare up, was lifted and pinch run for He's day
Speaker 1: to day and that Mariners lineup has not come out yet,
Speaker 1: So keep an eye out on Nelson Cruz. Other Mariners news, though,
Speaker 1: Mariners uh infielder Jan Sagura signed a five year, seventy
Speaker 1: million dollar extension, he currently is unavailable though um on
Speaker 1: the d L right now, but the Mariners locking him
Speaker 1: up long term. Also, and someone who's coming back he's
Speaker 1: missed all season long. Don't forget if you need any
Speaker 1: help at catcher. Wilson Ramos doubled in his second rehab
Speaker 1: game yesterday, coming back from an a c L injury.
Speaker 1: Remember this is a guy who had over three hundred
Speaker 1: for the Washington Nationals last year. He signed a two year,
Speaker 1: twelve and a half million dollar deal with Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: in the off season. Okay, Wilson Ramos maybe back up
Speaker 1: with the big club in Tampa in about a week,
Speaker 1: so check him out if you need some help at catcher.
Speaker 1: Someone going on the d L. That was Rockies outfield
Speaker 1: of Herado Para. He's got a quad injury, UM injury
Speaker 1: to trying to steal second base and a a recent game.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the shelf for a little while.
Speaker 1: And as you did, as you probably heard on DFS
Speaker 1: lineup lock Scooter Jeannette was only one percent on the
Speaker 1: last night when he had four home runs and ten
Speaker 1: r b i s. Also, big shout out to Scooter Jeannette.
Speaker 1: I saw a clip with him where he talks about
Speaker 1: how he got the name Scooter, and apparently he got
Speaker 1: the scooter from the character on The Muppet Babies. All Right,
Speaker 1: so you know, big shout out to Scooter, because you know,
Speaker 1: the Muppet Show and The Muppet Babies were both shows
Speaker 1: that we had in our TV Greatest of All Time
Speaker 1: Tournament a little bit earlier on this year. Okay, last night, though,
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you that there were gonna
Speaker 1: be strikeouts to be had. I said, obviously, with Max
Speaker 1: Scherzer at eleven thousand, nine hundred yesterday, what do you do.
Speaker 1: He struck out fourteen guys in a to one win,
Speaker 1: so you gotta figure he was worth that eleven thousand,
Speaker 1: nine hundred on FanDuel. But I gave you two starters
Speaker 1: yesterday that I said had good matchups, particularly for strikeouts.
Speaker 1: The first of them was Chris Arsher, who's arriety going
Speaker 1: against the Chicago White Sox at ten thousand, seven hundred,
Speaker 1: I said he was gonna get a good amount of strikeouts.
Speaker 1: What he do? He went seven innings and struck out eleven.
Speaker 1: Got you a quality start, only gave up two h
Speaker 1: two runs. But the White Sox did, in fact beat
Speaker 1: the Rays last night four to two. The other guy
Speaker 1: I gave you, and I have been saying it all
Speaker 1: season long. He has been my guy since the beginning
Speaker 1: of the season when I was giving you Speeds a spotlight,
Speaker 1: and I gave you a diamond and a full gaze
Speaker 1: on every team. My diamond for the Arizona diamond Backs
Speaker 1: was Robbie Ray. And last night at ten thousand, I
Speaker 1: told you that he had strike out upside against the
Speaker 1: Padres of the team who strikes out the second most
Speaker 1: in the NL and the team that scores the least
Speaker 1: amount of runs so far in the NL. What did
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray do? He went out there and struck out eleven,
Speaker 1: only giving up one run. Got a quality start and
Speaker 1: a win for you as the Diamondbacks one ten to two.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm giving you these starters to win
Speaker 1: their cash. So as usual, you may ask yourself self,
Speaker 1: who do Speeds think that I need to start tonight? Well,
Speaker 1: tonight you got some aces on the mound. Okay, if
Speaker 1: you're willing to pay up on FanDuel, you got Dallas
Speaker 1: Kaiko Dallas kaikl like ten thousand, nine hundred. He is
Speaker 1: nine and oh with a one six seven e r
Speaker 1: A on the season, and guess who they're facing, The
Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals. This is a team that continues to
Speaker 1: have the lowest run total in the American League. That
Speaker 1: I have been saying for weeks. Now, you can fade
Speaker 1: this offense the same way you used to fade the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns in NFL Survivor pools. So all of this
Speaker 1: lines up for Dallas Kaiko to probably be worth the
Speaker 1: ten thousand, nine hundred. The only thing that gives me
Speaker 1: pause is that this is the one day where the
Speaker 1: Royals are running out their ace as well, Jason Vargas.
Speaker 1: But I ain't mad at that. I still love Dallas Kaiko.
Speaker 1: You also got to love especially in cash games. Zack Grenky,
Speaker 1: I told you he gives me anxiety every time I
Speaker 1: say his name, because he has anxiety himself. But it's
Speaker 1: kind of the same rationale as yesterday. Yesterday I told
Speaker 1: you Robbie Ray against these Padres, with them their propensity
Speaker 1: to strike out. This the same thing can be said
Speaker 1: tonight for Zach Grenky. Is the same theory. Zack Granky
Speaker 1: ten thousand, seven hundred. I think they stay cold. That's
Speaker 1: the Padres stay cold. Striking out against those Diamondbacks. If
Speaker 1: you want to go a little cheaper though, Okay, if
Speaker 1: you want to go cheaper, how about Mike fultonevitch against
Speaker 1: the Phillies. He's only seventies seven hundred tonight. Last start,
Speaker 1: he had a great start against UM. I think it
Speaker 1: was the Dodgers. Seven innings of shutout ball and ten strikeouts.
Speaker 1: In his last five starts, Faulty has struck out twenty
Speaker 1: four batters only given up six walks. The Phillies are
Speaker 1: also twenty four in the majors in Wobo waited on
Speaker 1: base average VERSU rightys there, and Faulty is going against Jaredikoff.
Speaker 1: Jaredikoff with a five plus e R a oh in six.
Speaker 1: I think all that lines up for Faulty may be
Speaker 1: able to get a win UM at home against the
Speaker 1: Phillies for only seventies seven hundred on fan duel, that
Speaker 1: may be the place to go. I wanted to say
Speaker 1: one more thing though. A couple of things I've noticed recently.
Speaker 1: I saw Sweeney Murder, he was a beat reporter for
Speaker 1: the Yankees, tweeted out yesterday that he was at the stadium,
Speaker 1: and at Yankee Stadium You know how in most stadiums
Speaker 1: you see the radar gun and it'll say like, oh,
Speaker 1: the last pitch was ninety four miles an hour. Many
Speaker 1: will also say, oh, it was a fastball, a slide,
Speaker 1: or a curve, a change up, things like that. Sweeney
Speaker 1: Murdy is saying that a Yankee Stadium they now also
Speaker 1: have a board that shows exit velocity. Remember what we've
Speaker 1: been talking about, how Aaron Judge is just murdering the
Speaker 1: ball with that exit velocity. Home run he hit previously
Speaker 1: um was about a hundred and sixteen miles an hour
Speaker 1: just last weekend in Toronto. He is absolutely crushing the ball.
Speaker 1: And now at Yankee Stadium they're showing the measurement of that.
Speaker 1: I think that's a big step forward in terms of
Speaker 1: some of these you know, advanced stats. I wonder what's next,
Speaker 1: you know, will they be putting up launch angle, you know,
Speaker 1: will they be putting up you know, things like a
Speaker 1: guy's ex fit when he comes in from the bullpen.
Speaker 1: I think it's very interesting. I also want to know
Speaker 1: is Yankee Stadium the only ballpark that does that? My
Speaker 1: boy Frankie Standfull, who you can hear on Fantasy First
Speaker 1: Look and I'm best friends forever along with Florio and Sasmania.
Speaker 1: He told me he went to the Yankee game and
Speaker 1: saw it. I I don't know about other stadiums that
Speaker 1: are posting this. If you are out there on any
Speaker 1: of our Sports Byline affiliates listening live right now and
Speaker 1: you have seen exit velocity in a stadium this year,
Speaker 1: please holler at me at eight four four eight four
Speaker 1: three six eight seven nine, or holler at me at
Speaker 1: spitting Speeds on Twitter and let me know what other
Speaker 1: ballparks this might be in. Again, shout out to my
Speaker 1: man Lance Newman on Twitter yesterday when I was saying
Speaker 1: what changes would you make if you were a commissioner,
Speaker 1: and I said, some people mentioned that, you know the
Speaker 1: UM All Star Games should not be for home field. Uh.
Speaker 1: Lance Newman mentioned that we should have robotic pumps uh
Speaker 1: calling balls and strikes to just basically use that kind
Speaker 1: of stack cast grid that they put up, which I
Speaker 1: think is interesting. But I did want to give him
Speaker 1: a big shout out as well. You know, we're talking
Speaker 1: about all these different changes UM. And I mentioned to
Speaker 1: you guys what Gary Sheffield was saying yesterday about batting,
Speaker 1: the shift and picture suspensions and pace of game. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be giving you my big time official platform tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and I may have a special guest as well to
Speaker 1: talk with me about the changes that I would make
Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball if I were commissioners. So make
Speaker 1: sure you stay tuned for that tomorrow. But regardless, we're

Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do is I'm gonna be bringing in
Speaker 1: my man, the basketball correspondent and love Dr Donnie Burns
Speaker 1: to say, you know, if he's got his calves in six,
Speaker 1: what is he looking for to see if they can

Speaker 1: Will they do that in Cleveland tonight? We'll check in
Speaker 1: on that. And like I said, Lonzo Ball worked out
Speaker 1: for the Lakers today, so we're gonna talk about that
Speaker 1: a little bit as well. Right here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle on the award winning and fancy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: It's your boy Speeds, it's fitting statistician, Come on right back,
Speaker 1: let's go. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle here on
Speaker 1: the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, a
Speaker 1: big shout out to our sports Byline affiliates around the
Speaker 1: country and for those of you guys getting ready for
Speaker 1: Game three of the NBA Finals in Ohio, for example,
Speaker 1: shout out to point three FM on Selina fourteen fifty
Speaker 1: A M in Hamilton, Ohio, w M O H in Marion,
Speaker 1: Ohio four nine a M W M R N all
Speaker 1: getting ready for Game three of the NBA Finals. But listen.
Speaker 1: If you're not listening live, it's okay, it's okay. Download
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network app. And this way you
Speaker 1: get everybody here giving you what you need to win
Speaker 1: your leagues and win that cash. My man, the King,
Speaker 1: Scott Angle, we got Tony Sencada, Benny Riccardi, Greg Sussman,
Speaker 1: Jake Seely, the all in kid who apparently was blocked
Speaker 1: by old Dell Beckham. But the thing is, everybody is
Speaker 1: giving you that advice and you are getting it for free.
Speaker 1: We're not trying to take your money. We're trying to
Speaker 1: let you have your money so you could bet it
Speaker 1: and it can grow. Okay, Just remember when you're filling
Speaker 1: out that that is the Fantasy Sports Radio Network holding
Speaker 1: you down. News and notes. As we enter the cipher
Speaker 1: here around the NFL, Julio Jones says that he is
Speaker 1: on track for actual training camp coming back from that
Speaker 1: foot injury. He said that last procedure he had in
Speaker 1: his foot was just to remove a bunyon. But he
Speaker 1: did admit, and I think this is kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like him patting himself on the back. Um.
Speaker 1: He said that sometimes his foot just can't handle how
Speaker 1: explosive he is as a wide receiver. Who am I
Speaker 1: to argue with the great Julio Jones? Right. There's also
Speaker 1: apparently progress being made in the Kirk Cousins contract talks
Speaker 1: with the Washington football team. Even Dan Snyder came out
Speaker 1: and says that he he does, in fact want Cousins
Speaker 1: as his quarterback for the long term. It sounds like
Speaker 1: they're having a better tone in those negotiations. Remember, Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins has played this franchise tag approach and and has
Speaker 1: turned it into I think twenty four million dollars. He
Speaker 1: clearly think won't be able to do it again, so
Speaker 1: that it behooves everybody for them that to find a
Speaker 1: long term deal. Um. Also interesting story I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you. Did you hear that Bill's cornerbacks Sharik Right,
Speaker 1: took an uber from Chicago all the way to Buffalo
Speaker 1: for o t a s. It was something like an
Speaker 1: eight hour drive and in the Uber cost six hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty eight dollars. I guess that's one way to
Speaker 1: make sure you get to work. You know. As football
Speaker 1: starts to you know, creep up on us, things are
Speaker 1: starting to get excited here in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: We are getting ready for football. And as soon as
Speaker 1: the NBA Final end, I am going to start giving
Speaker 1: you my team by team previews. Okay, because we got
Speaker 1: thirty two teams to go through, it is going to
Speaker 1: take a while. Throughout most of the month of July,
Speaker 1: We're gonna start giving you team by team previews. You
Speaker 1: know who you need to, you know, find on their
Speaker 1: fantasy teams, who are the diamond two of the full gazes,
Speaker 1: and also teams where I think they're gonna go. Remember,
Speaker 1: I'm giving you those over unders because that, in my
Speaker 1: in speeds his experience, is a nice way to win
Speaker 1: that cash. But as we moved on here in the
Speaker 1: cipher on the Fantasy Freestyle, I want to bring in
Speaker 1: my man Donnie Burns, the love Doctor in basketball correspondent
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy Freestyle. And here's the thing, Donnie, Donnie
Speaker 1: likes the Calves in this series. I've been already on
Speaker 1: the Warriors, Okay, so we don't have to talk about that.
Speaker 1: You know, we got that all up on the board already,
Speaker 1: so that's fine. What I want to talk about is, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll say this, even though I think the Warriors are
Speaker 1: a dominant squad and I think that they are going
Speaker 1: to win this series in five games, at this point,
Speaker 1: my original prediction was, you know, Dubs and six. If
Speaker 1: you believe that the Calves are gonna do anything, it does.
Speaker 1: In fact, you think that they are gonna win Game three.
Speaker 1: If they're gonna do anything, it's going to happen tonight.
Speaker 1: So my first question for you don is, like, early
Speaker 1: in the game, what kind of adjustments might you be
Speaker 1: looking for? What are you looking for as an indicator of, oh,
Speaker 1: this might be something different. I'm gonna tell you what
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. I told you already when we talked
Speaker 1: about the pace of play, how it was just out
Speaker 1: of control, looking like an All Star game. I think
Speaker 1: the Calves may try to slow it down, play Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference basketball, keep the game a little bit slower, because
Speaker 1: they clearly can't hang with the Dubs going end to end.
Speaker 1: Do you think that might be an adjustment? Don What
Speaker 1: do you expect to see a little bit later on tonight. Well,
Speaker 1: you know we talked about that earlier before this series
Speaker 1: even started. First one of the calves to know to
Speaker 1: slow the pace up a lot, and um, looking towards tonight,
Speaker 1: here's my kind of take on it. I think they
Speaker 1: need to have Darren Williams come in, and not in
Speaker 1: terms of scoring. They need to slow the game up.
Speaker 1: Kyrie is not playing well at all. They need to
Speaker 1: get the ball out of his hands, maybe put him
Speaker 1: on the wing. They need to do something with that,
Speaker 1: because not only is he not scoring, he's scoring at
Speaker 1: a terrible rate. I think he went eight for twenty
Speaker 1: three last game, but he's turning the ball over against
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, who I said he was gonna play dominant against.
Speaker 1: So that's one thing I kind of want to take
Speaker 1: on that. But if you do remember the last year.
Speaker 1: I hate to keep going over this, but Golden State
Speaker 1: won in dramatic fashion. The first two games they want
Speaker 1: one nine the first one one ten is seventy seven
Speaker 1: the second one. But the third game they shot almost
Speaker 1: thirty percent as a team. They lost a hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty to ninety. So you know, I do have Calves
Speaker 1: in six, but I mean Calves couldn't win in seven.
Speaker 1: To listen, the King is the King. I hate all
Speaker 1: this talk about Kevin Durant. You know they're starting to
Speaker 1: talk about Kevin Durant is the best player on the planet.
Speaker 1: He's not. They ask more of Lebron on the Calves
Speaker 1: than the Warriors do of Kevin Durant. No, I absolutely
Speaker 1: agree with you. And here's the thing, because what we
Speaker 1: gotta do here on the Fantasy Freestyles help people win
Speaker 1: some cash. Right. So remember remember how um I gave
Speaker 1: everybody that they needed to bet the under in game one,
Speaker 1: right when that was a historic over over under total.
Speaker 1: The over under tonight is two hundred and twenty seven.
Speaker 1: And I think, and it sounds like Donnie Burns things
Speaker 1: as well, that they may if they try to slow
Speaker 1: the pace down, it is certainly not gonna get to
Speaker 1: a two seven over under. Okay, So I again like
Speaker 1: the under if the Calves make any kind of adjustment,
Speaker 1: and part of this end to end, remember we're wondering
Speaker 1: if guarding Kevin Durant has been you know, tiring Lebron
Speaker 1: out if it's hard because he's expending that much energy
Speaker 1: on the defensive end. Somebody asked Lebron about that leading
Speaker 1: up to Game three, Donnie, do we have what he
Speaker 1: said in reply, let's hear that now does on you?
Speaker 1: You know, like in the second half, maybe I don't
Speaker 1: know people people, you know, the question still salty Lebron.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm pretty good. I would think I'm saying,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. So he's like, nah, nah, doesn't tire me.
Speaker 1: I'm averaging the triple double. It's like he never like
Speaker 1: when things are not going well for him, he gets
Speaker 1: real salty, he gets real aloof remember a few years
Speaker 1: ago when he was like, I'm gonna still go back
Speaker 1: to my great house and I'm still have a great life.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, like, I love Lebron and all,
Speaker 1: but I think he's got to be you know, kind
Speaker 1: of stand up in in in times of adversity as well.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Donny, the other thing that
Speaker 1: you know may happen as this series switches to Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Not only do I think it might be a slower
Speaker 1: pace game. So I like the under um, you know,
Speaker 1: the saying always goes that role players play better at home.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Doron Williams coming in maybe to help slow
Speaker 1: the game down because Kyrie hasn't. But I see some
Speaker 1: player props for the Cavaliers, like if it starts to
Speaker 1: go well and they do in fact get the game three.
Speaker 1: Here are two things that might be interesting for people
Speaker 1: if they want to throw a couple of bills on it.
Speaker 1: Check this out. J R. Smith over under point total.
Speaker 1: Donnie is seven tonight. If Cleveland's gonna do anything right,
Speaker 1: and if Kyrie hasn't been that guy, you gotta think
Speaker 1: j R. Smith will score more than seven points. No,
Speaker 1: what do you think about that? Donne? I do, And
Speaker 1: they kind of need him to know he's he's in
Speaker 1: there specifically to you know, drop three or four three's
Speaker 1: and push up the tempo and kind of change it
Speaker 1: at that moment in time, and he's not been able
Speaker 1: to do that. But I just kind of want to
Speaker 1: get your take on. You know, I mentioned Darren Williams
Speaker 1: coming in not necessarily a score because he essentially can't.
Speaker 1: Um what do you think about isolating Kyrie not necessarily?
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about you know, Calves making it
Speaker 1: one on one. What do you think about isolating Kyrie
Speaker 1: on his own? Yeah, I mean unless Klay Thompson's on him,
Speaker 1: then sure. As long as Clay Thompson's on him, then absolutely.
Speaker 1: And that was gonna be another over runder I was
Speaker 1: gonna give you Kyrie tonight. Kyrie Tonight, the over runder
Speaker 1: on his point total is twenty seven. Do you think
Speaker 1: he'll be able to go for high twenties almost thirty?
Speaker 1: I think that might be another way to do it,
Speaker 1: absolutely done. Like Kyrie has to come to play tonight,
Speaker 1: like you said, maybe not even as a point guard,
Speaker 1: but as a scorer for this team. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you know you could, you would say, okay. And
Speaker 1: then here's the one thing I think. I think this
Speaker 1: j R. Smith over seven points. I like that. I
Speaker 1: like the under for the game tonight, okay, because I think,
Speaker 1: like you said, they are going to slow it down
Speaker 1: and to come on man to seven. That means it
Speaker 1: could be like one, fourteen, one ten, and it's still
Speaker 1: under twenty seven. This game is not gonna be as
Speaker 1: high scoring as they were in Golden State. Here's the
Speaker 1: other one that I wanted to bounce off of you,
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns. The other player that has not you know,
Speaker 1: has not been kind of doing what he was supposed
Speaker 1: to do for this Calves team is Tristan Thompson. And
Speaker 1: what if I told you that the over under on
Speaker 1: Tristan Thompson rebounds tonight is seven and a half, wouldn't
Speaker 1: you go over on that? I would go over. And
Speaker 1: here's the thing we talked. We also talked about that
Speaker 1: before they started, right, he needs to exact seven offensive
Speaker 1: rebounds can't exactly, it can't be it's total for the
Speaker 1: over under, right, So that's I'd probably take the over
Speaker 1: on that way said seven seven and a half. So yeah,
Speaker 1: he needs eight or more, right, take exactly. So that's
Speaker 1: the thing. And listen, listen down. We're trying to do
Speaker 1: this segment so that I don't give you, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't give you poo poo for picking the Cats.
Speaker 1: So we're assuming that the Calves are gonna get this
Speaker 1: one right. So if they do, I think what you
Speaker 1: gotta go is under tonight for the game. I think
Speaker 1: j R. Smith can get you more than seven, and
Speaker 1: Tristan Thompson will have to grab down some boards. Those
Speaker 1: are probably ways you can go tonight. To get some cash. Okay,
Speaker 1: and we gotta pull question up right now. We're asking
Speaker 1: you on Twitter, will the NBA Finals be worth the
Speaker 1: weight and the hype or's calves worries pretty much just
Speaker 1: like the rest of the playoffs. Fifty eight percent of
Speaker 1: you right now say Nope, it's not worth the way
Speaker 1: Golden State is too dominant of you. Guys say you
Speaker 1: hope so, but you are skeptical of that. And only
Speaker 1: eighteen percent of you agree with my man Donnie Burns,
Speaker 1: the love doctor and basketball correspondent. Eight eighteen percent of
Speaker 1: them say yes, we have just begun this series, so
Speaker 1: we'll see about that, you know when we come back
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Like I said, Lonzo Ball
Speaker 1: worked out for the Lakers. You know, this is a
Speaker 1: topic Donnie Burns and I have been discussing. We're gonna
Speaker 1: attack it from all angles, and I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: a couple of you know, other sports stories where we
Speaker 1: put the fun and functional sports radio. If you want
Speaker 1: to holler at me, let me know eight four four
Speaker 1: eight four three six seven nine, holler at me on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Got polls to answer to. We're having fun on a
Speaker 1: Tuesday evening, Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyleish your boy Dame Martinez Speeds,
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician, giving you what you need to win
Speaker 1: your league and win that cast, dropping stats over beat
Speaker 1: with mom man Donnie Burns, so hot that we sweat steam.
Speaker 1: Of course, big shout out, of course to our Sports
Speaker 1: Byline affiliates around the country and with the American Forces
Speaker 1: Radio Network around the world, on bases around the world,
Speaker 1: you're getting a little taste of home, even in Doha.
Speaker 1: So you know, Speeds holding you down. Hey, Donnie Burns,
Speaker 1: today was the day, you know, we heard going into
Speaker 1: this um lead up to the NBA Draft, we heard
Speaker 1: that a Lonzo ball and the ball and the ball
Speaker 1: kind of faction, the Triple B brand, and you know
Speaker 1: it's always been weird. Why do we say the triple
Speaker 1: B brand. The third B is the word brand, so
Speaker 1: it's like we're saying the big ball our brand brand.
Speaker 1: But I digress, Uh, the triple B brand. Um. You
Speaker 1: know they were saying they would only work out for
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Well, today Lonzo did in fact work out
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. But I have some interesting news. First,
Speaker 1: of all. Luke Walton said going into today's workout that
Speaker 1: uh LaVar would not be welcome in the gym. He
Speaker 1: was closed out of the Lakers workout. He will be
Speaker 1: going to dinner. It looks like tonight with Lakers brass
Speaker 1: check this out. Luke Walton says, absolutely if he wants
Speaker 1: to come to the dinner, but I think the workout
Speaker 1: is something that will keep the doors closed on. But
Speaker 1: at the dinner, he would definitely make the dinner more entertainment,
Speaker 1: more entertaining. He's welcome to join us for that one.
Speaker 1: He also goes on to say that he would not
Speaker 1: be concerned about LaVar's kind of, you know, opinionated nature.
Speaker 1: He says, we're in the NBA. To me, that's not
Speaker 1: an issue. Parents are always gonna have their opinions. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be outspoken at time times. Then he goes as,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a very outspoken father myself, so
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me. If we were been to draft him,
Speaker 1: we're gonna coach him. He'll be part of our team,
Speaker 1: he'll be part of our family, and we'll go from there.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good point that um Luke
Speaker 1: Walton mentions that he has, you know, a pretty outspoken
Speaker 1: father himself. Maybe that means he kind of knows how
Speaker 1: to um, you know, kind of manage this kind of thing.
Speaker 1: But we are also starting to hear some smoke about
Speaker 1: like maybe the Lakers would pass on Lonzo Ball. You know,
Speaker 1: an anonymous GM actually said that LaVar Ball is in
Speaker 1: fact hurting Alonzo's prospects, saying and I quote, it doesn't
Speaker 1: help all this stuff with his father. I don't know
Speaker 1: what is gained for the kid by putting that much
Speaker 1: pressure on him. Nobody from the league has been meeting
Speaker 1: with LaVar or anything, but that is going to be
Speaker 1: another thing to look at when it comes to doing
Speaker 1: due diligence before the draft. How does he handle his dad?
Speaker 1: Is it just something he laughs about or is it
Speaker 1: real pressure on him? Now I'm hearing things the Lakers
Speaker 1: may pass. They may think your boy Donnie Burns d
Speaker 1: Fox is the best point guard in this draft. Remember
Speaker 1: they also already have Ingram, they already have D'Angelo Russell.
Speaker 1: Maybe they need instead to not use it on another guard.
Speaker 1: Maybe they need a guy like Jackson or Tatum to
Speaker 1: start filling the wing rolls that they also need on
Speaker 1: that team. And here's another thing that I think is
Speaker 1: interesting before I bring you in here real quick, Donnie
Speaker 1: Burns on this Lonzo Ball workout. The thing is, we
Speaker 1: always hear from LaVar Ball. We hear from the var
Speaker 1: Ball all the fin time, but we never hear from Lonzo.
Speaker 1: We never hear from a Lonzo himself, even when, like
Speaker 1: we're now getting reports that they turned down a ten
Speaker 1: million dollars shoe deal. Remember when they wanted to be
Speaker 1: like co branding and partners. Now we're hearing word that
Speaker 1: the figures that you know, Nike and Adidas and under
Speaker 1: Armor we're throwing out. We're ten million dollars that would
Speaker 1: be probably double the salary lone So would be making
Speaker 1: in his rookie year. Alonso has nothing to say about this.
Speaker 1: Why do we never hear from Alonzo himself? That's what
Speaker 1: I'm starting to wonder, And I wonder, and then we
Speaker 1: hear from Alonzo today. Alonzo after his workout with the Lakers,
Speaker 1: he actually, you know, for the first time, I actually
Speaker 1: heard stuff from a Lonzo. Alonzo after the workout said,
Speaker 1: and this I think is very interesting. He says that
Speaker 1: the Lakers need a point guard and a leader. And
Speaker 1: he is someone who can fill both of those roles
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. Now, I think that's kind of not
Speaker 1: setting yourself up to be, you know, not ingratiating yourself
Speaker 1: to the locker room that you may eventually join. You know,
Speaker 1: that's clear throwing shade at D'Angelo Russell the page with
Speaker 1: one of those points he made, but I digress. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get your taking a hot second. Don I
Speaker 1: mean like he says that, you know, isn't that shade
Speaker 1: for di'angelo Russell if they were to be on the
Speaker 1: team together. Isn't that shade, you know, saying that they
Speaker 1: don't already have a leader? Don't you want to come
Speaker 1: in if you do, you know, saying you know that,
Speaker 1: like you'll just do whatever is asked for you. Blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. The other thing he said was that in
Speaker 1: his conversations with the Laker executives today that the Laker
Speaker 1: executives quote unquote, love my dad LaVar. I think that's
Speaker 1: very interesting, but it was kind of weird. I haven't
Speaker 1: heard quotes from a Lonzo in a while. We heard
Speaker 1: him freestyling over that Drake beat, but we haven't heard
Speaker 1: a Lonzo, you know, with any of the issues actually
Speaker 1: related to Triple B in a while. So if you
Speaker 1: disagree with that, let me hear you take Donnie. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: as we get closer to the NBA Draft, you know
Speaker 1: a lot of these uh mock drafts have Daron Fox
Speaker 1: possibly moving up to that second spot. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't really Folds is probably still the best point guard.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he averaged twenty three point two points
Speaker 1: and Jesus score. You know, they don't know if they're
Speaker 1: getting rid of Isaiah Thomas yet, they don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing there. So that's I guess that's a lock
Speaker 1: for me as of right now. Darron Fox moving up
Speaker 1: to the lakers second pick, however, doesn't really make much
Speaker 1: sense to me. They need a player that will make
Speaker 1: the rest of their young players better. Um Alonzo Ball
Speaker 1: mentioned in that interview, you know, I'm a leader. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. His leadership is by example, and you know,
Speaker 1: he plays at a specific pace that I don't know
Speaker 1: if some of those players can play out. Like I said,
Speaker 1: Julius Randall is a good player for that. I don't
Speaker 1: know how D'Angelo works with that, but I definitely don't
Speaker 1: see Darron Fox being a Laker. However, I have seen
Speaker 1: Dearn going to the Phoenix Suns, which I do like
Speaker 1: him working with book or a lot, you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy value for Booker next year. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing, like, do you see a universe where if
Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball is taking number two overall, that the Lakers
Speaker 1: still have D'Angelo Russell on that roster. I see George
Speaker 1: Clarkson moving. I don't see D'Angelo moving. I see them
Speaker 1: shipping off Clarkson. Okay, Well, like we said, he worked
Speaker 1: out for the Lakers. There were some reports that he
Speaker 1: may work out for the Philadelphia seventies sixers as well,
Speaker 1: but a Lonzo confirmed today again that the Lakers were
Speaker 1: the only team he will in fact work out for.
Speaker 1: The NBA Draft is coming up right after the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals are likely over. I believe in a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks June twenty, I may have to bring my boys,
Speaker 1: Hove and Double K, Cat and Kirby back on to
Speaker 1: dissect the draft like we did when he had the
Speaker 1: draft lottery, and we're gonna find out, you know, where
Speaker 1: Tatum goes, where Jackson goes, where your boy Fox goes.
Speaker 1: I still for that, I know you do. So what
Speaker 1: about could you see could you see them thinking that
Speaker 1: they're find in the back quarter ready with Russell and
Speaker 1: Ingram You mentioned Clarkson and instead, like I said, go
Speaker 1: for a wing player like Tatum and guy for Tatum,
Speaker 1: I feel like they would be getting rid of Russell
Speaker 1: at that point in time because Clarkson and Russell they
Speaker 1: just don't work together. I'm sorry they don't. So one
Speaker 1: of him would be leaving and it would be Russell
Speaker 1: on that in that case, if they took Tatum at
Speaker 1: that pick, which I don't think they will, I think
Speaker 1: Russell would be gone at that point. So but here's
Speaker 1: my thing with with Alonso. If you watch some of
Speaker 1: his college tape, his weaknesses. He's too unselfish and he's
Speaker 1: not aggressive enough. Like in Oppress, he wouldn't even be
Speaker 1: getting doubled and he's you know, he's waving it off
Speaker 1: to go to the other side of the ball. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of one of his problems at this point.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I see them taking him. I really
Speaker 1: do think makes any splash. And the reason, like you said,
Speaker 1: Walton's dad is he loves to keep it weird. And
Speaker 1: also here's the other thing. Now that it's it is
Speaker 1: all lined up for ultimately for Alonzo to be a Laker,
Speaker 1: I wonder if Alonzo, I wonder if LaVar should, you know,
Speaker 1: go back to those shoe companies, you know, now that
Speaker 1: it probably does look like he's gonna be a you know,
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, you want to talk deal now
Speaker 1: that we think he's gonna be in Hollywood as a Laker.
Speaker 1: I know it probably won't happen, but man, oh man,
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder how that's gonna go because remember
Speaker 1: he also you know, he also kind of shut down
Speaker 1: a female reporter on Fox Sports, right, So I wonder, now,
Speaker 1: now if he's gonna be a Laker, you're gonna need
Speaker 1: to respect Genie Bus. You know what I'm saying. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So maybe he needs to, you know,
Speaker 1: go back to the shoe companies, go back to the Lakers,
Speaker 1: and have a different tone. But we shall see. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I think my man Jay Z said, you never changed.
Speaker 1: That's just the top layer man. You was who you
Speaker 1: was when you got here. So we'll see if Alonzo
Speaker 1: and LaVar and the whole Triple B brand and all
Speaker 1: of them if they change their tune after potentially landing
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles with the number two overall pick in
Speaker 1: the draft. Later on this month, when we're talking basketball, though,
Speaker 1: you know, Donny, we also talk Big Three, and when
Speaker 1: we gave out our rankings of our guards one one,
Speaker 1: one guy that we did not name was actually the
Speaker 1: umber two overall pick of the Big Three draft, and
Speaker 1: it's Andre Owens. We didn't have him because you know,
Speaker 1: he didn't really have that name value that cash. But
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I have audio from Andre Owens.
Speaker 1: He's talking about, you know, he's working hard, he's grinding,
Speaker 1: he's ready to eat some dudes up. Let's hear that
Speaker 1: right now. Hand quickly, stretch, stay low. This is Andre
Speaker 1: working out. This is Andre working out. If we go
Speaker 1: a little bit later on, Donny, to go to the
Speaker 1: thirty second mark, we got him answering like how hard
Speaker 1: he's working and who he's gonna ball on. I just
Speaker 1: got a note. Would are you think I'm a cannable?
Speaker 1: He's a cannibal. He eats meat and nothing, nothing. I'm
Speaker 1: not leaving nothing to no second Arduus killing at the
Speaker 1: temp Who would you every gardener guard of me, he said,
Speaker 1: he was putting on everybody. Do you know who you are?
Speaker 1: I'm not going nothing nothing. So your Instagram name is
Speaker 1: a twenty buckets Where you get that name sounds initials?
Speaker 1: Twenty is my number in buckets. That's what I do. Well,
Speaker 1: there you go, there you go. All right. So so
Speaker 1: Andre Owens is talking about all these buckets he's gonna get. Now.
Speaker 1: The question I have for you, Donnie, is have we
Speaker 1: underrated some of these guys who may not have a
Speaker 1: big name value but maybe using this and really to
Speaker 1: try and ball hard and establish themselves. Yeah, we probably
Speaker 1: have because you know some of these a lot of
Speaker 1: these players. Know these players, we haven't watched them in years, right,
Speaker 1: they know something that we don't know because something He
Speaker 1: was the number two overall pick. He was the number
Speaker 1: two picks, so he was probably doing it at the combine,
Speaker 1: busting heads. Like he said, we had him in a
Speaker 1: lower tier for sure. But you know, some of these guys,
Speaker 1: like my man Quam Brown included it may in fact,
Speaker 1: um really you know, may may have been in gym
Speaker 1: and grinding hard for it. So again, don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1: Later on this month, right after the NBA Draft happens
Speaker 1: in the last week of June. The Big Three tips
Speaker 1: off June at Barkley's Don Burns and Speeds and spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try and be there to cover it for
Speaker 1: you guys here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know.
Speaker 1: Um Also, I don't know if you saw this, but
Speaker 1: the Ryan Brothers were at Margharitaville and Nashville for the
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup and there and there's the footage of them
Speaker 1: like fighting in Margharitaville. Let me ask you this, Who
Speaker 1: fights into Margharitaville. I thought you getting drunk and getting happy?
Speaker 1: Ryan was ready? He was. And who goes up and
Speaker 1: tries to fight the Ryan brothers? Those are big dudes.
Speaker 1: People don't know. People don't follow up sports man. They
Speaker 1: probably didn't know who those are big dudes? Why would
Speaker 1: you do that? Check this out if you saw this.
Speaker 1: A less reported story from when Rex was down there
Speaker 1: in Nashville. He apparently bumped into a bachelorette party and
Speaker 1: uh was winking at all the girls with their open
Speaker 1: toed sandals and said, uh, yeah, you guys, you ladies
Speaker 1: have great feet. You know what I like Barstool reporting that.
Speaker 1: I mean, Barstool is not the most Uh, That's why
Speaker 1: I had to give credit there. I'm saying that came
Speaker 1: out of bar Stool, but you know that, right, I
Speaker 1: don't think that's out of his book. What I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, to bring it back though. We do
Speaker 1: have a poll question up there on that f n
Speaker 1: T s Y Radio Twitter handle, and it's one of
Speaker 1: Rex's former players that is leading the vote right now.
Speaker 1: We asked you which available wide out or you know,
Speaker 1: ultimately available wide out will help you your NFL and
Speaker 1: fantasy football team the most. The options to Jeremy Macklin,
Speaker 1: Eric Decker, and am Kwon Bolden. Still time to vote
Speaker 1: on it right now. I'll give you the results of
Speaker 1: that and we'll go around the league real quick with scores.
Speaker 1: Here on the Fantasy Freestyle Come Back, it's your boy,
Speaker 1: Dame Martinez speeds It's bitten statistician on the award winning
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyleish
Speaker 1: boy Dane Martinez feeds and spitting statistician holding you down
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday with my man Donnie Burns keeping it's
Speaker 1: so hot that we sweat steam. Let's go around the
Speaker 1: league right now. In games underway so far tonight, Phillies
Speaker 1: and Braves are scoreless in the top of the second,
Speaker 1: White Sox with an early one nothing lead on the Raise.
Speaker 1: That's in the bottom of the second. Cardinals have jumped
Speaker 1: out to a lead on the Cincinnati Reds in the
Speaker 1: Great American Small Park. Matt Carpenter with his tenth home
Speaker 1: run of the season. Angels and Tigers scoreless in Detroit. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Yankees are up on the Red Sox one nothing
Speaker 1: after three innings, Dee de Gregorious going yard for the
Speaker 1: Yankee run pirates and Orioles Pirates up to one on
Speaker 1: Baltimore in the bottom of the second. I mentioned also
Speaker 1: we got a pole question up right now. Remember Jeremy
Speaker 1: Macklin was cut. We get news that the Jets are
Speaker 1: gonna trade or release Eric Decker as well, and Kwon
Speaker 1: bolden Old faithful also out there UH to be signed
Speaker 1: right now as a free agent by any NFL team
Speaker 1: who wants him. So I asked you which of these
Speaker 1: wideouts can help an NFL team and your potential fantasy
Speaker 1: football team the most right now? And thanks to all
Speaker 1: the people that have voted. Okay, thanks to the over
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty people who have already voted in the
Speaker 1: last hour and a half since it's been up fifties
Speaker 1: six percent of you say Eric Decker is the guy
Speaker 1: you'd get. I agree with you. There was a stretch
Speaker 1: there when he was healthy with the Jets where he
Speaker 1: was scoring touchdowns. I think like seven games in a row.
Speaker 1: It was absolutely ridiculous. Thirty five percent of you say
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin is the guy you would take or want.
Speaker 1: A nine percent say a Kwan Bolden. Let me give
Speaker 1: a big shout out real quick to gaming Guru nine
Speaker 1: one at Gil daving Ill. I believe he says Jeremy
Speaker 1: m glenn and his reason is because he's a Saints fan.
Speaker 1: I don't know, um you know if that means he's
Speaker 1: down south and likes Macklin or he thinks that Maclin
Speaker 1: would be a good fit for his team, the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. But regardless, that's what we have here. Say
Speaker 1: Deck or thirty five say Macklin, N say an Kwan Bolden.
Speaker 1: Keep it locked up next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: It'll be in this league coming up with my man
Speaker 1: Bogman and Welsh, and also tomorrow we'll be right back
