1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Boom shaka Laca.

Speaker 2: It's our number to our number two is ready for you.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 2: It's the hour of Lebron. Where do you stand on

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: the Mavericks as the betting favorite, the new betting favorite

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: for Lebron James? Also, what makes the most sense for

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: Lebron at this point? Forget the gambling market? And how

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: would the Lakers spin a Lebron James trade? And why

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: must this trade be a package deal?

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: We'll explain.

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: We'll get to all of that and more right now here.

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: It is our number two, so part of the King's court?

12
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: Or is it welcome? In the beginning of another hour

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: we'll get back to the baseball. I know some of

31
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: you guys are hanging on. You want to yap about that.

32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: The All Star Game went to a swing off while

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Show healed and Aaron Judge made a mad dash.

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: They were like speedy.

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: Gonzales trying to get out of there and get the airports,

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: get the hell out of Atlanta. Very reminiscent of All

37
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: Star Games gone by. The game came down to it.

38
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: It was a tie because the Nationalague All Stars suck

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 2: and blew a six run lead, so the al came.

40
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: Back tied it. Kyle Swarber ended up winning it.

41
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: He was your All Star MVP as he won the

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 2: first ever not home run derby swing off, not home

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: run derby swing off. More on that later, but our

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: lead this hour is from the chatterbox. We have a

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: update update. The King malcontent, a pro bouncy ball making

46
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: headlines yet again, Lebron James.

47
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: That's right, Lebron James.

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: So feeding the content machine over the Baseball All Star

49
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: Break and of course making it all about Lebron, all

50
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: about Lebron, just the way he likes it, just the

51
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: way he likes it. So the gambling market has checked

52
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: in on this, They have entered the ring, and they

53
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: have updated, updated the odds on this. A new betting

54
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: favorite has emerged for Lebron James.

55
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: And if you didn't see this, and perhaps you're not.

56
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: A degenerate gambler and you don't keep track of these things,

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 2: So the gambling market says, the new favorite to land

58
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: Lebron James is, you know, no, the Dallas Mavericks Holy

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: Cowboy Boots Batman. Yeah, the Mavericks and the new betting

60
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: favorites to land Lebron James. Of course, everything is bigger

61
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: in Texas. Dallas listed at plus one twenty five. The

62
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: Miami Heat are number.

63
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: Two behind.

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: Behind the Mavericks, followed by the Cadavers from Cleveland and

65
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: the Goldens the Warriors who are also listed, then the Knicks.

66
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: So Dallas, which I think if I'm not mistaken, gave

67
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: away the keys to the franchise. They dumped Luca Hookah

68
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: Luca for some stale popcorn, and they are now the

69
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: betting favorite for Lebron. It's a small world, after all.

70
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: It's a small small world. So let us discuss the question.

71
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: For the esteem panel.

72
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: Where do you stand on the mav Rex as the

73
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: betting favorite for Lebron James that Dallas is the betting

74
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: favorite for Lebron?

75
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: Where do you stand on that?

76
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: So I've got Quentin Tarantino, Happy Place and packaged deal

77
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: in this hour of Lebron, We'll put all these things

78
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: together and make a giant sized ego which cannot match.

79
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 2: As big as we make it cannot match the ego

80
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: of Lebron James. So, first of all, you talk about

81
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: bizarro world, and I don't think I'm just bringing King

82
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 2: of hyperbole here. Lebron under this scenario, and I do

83
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: believe in the multiverse, But in this portion of the multiverse,

84
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: Lebron would rejoin Anthony Davis again, reunited and it feels

85
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: so good, and they'd play together in Big d this

86
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: time side by side, while Hooka Luca plays Hollywood Hero

87
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: and Lebron and Anthony Davis would go from Taco Tuesday

88
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: to tex Mex Monday. So no more Taco Toos, but

89
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: tex Mex Monday they would go for now. Unfortunately, the

90
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: Mexican food is better in La than it is in Texas,

91
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: so that's a downgrade for Lebron. But it's like watching

92
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: if you Will Quentin Tarantino and the remake of the Decision.

93
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Where is Jim Gray?

94
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: Is there a boys and girls club in Connecticut where

95
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: Lebron can pop in and decide where he's going to

96
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 2: take his talents? But imagine if Kyrie gets looped in.

97
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: Kyrie is always hurt, but he's also on the Mavericks

98
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: and if he.

99
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Lands in this.

100
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: If you put Kyrie out there with Lebron and Anthony Davis,

101
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: this is like one big ayahuasca trip and you're going

102
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: to never Never Land.

103
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: Is what you're doing there. It's the headline.

104
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: Imagine that Lebron, Kyrie and Anthony Davis side by side,

105
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: the three headed fire breathing dragon. It's like the NBA's

106
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: version of the modern rat pack of the NBA and

107
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: the Mavericks. Now, I'm old enough to remember when they

108
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: could not convince top level players to go to Dallas.

109
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: They couldn't get him. They offered him a stake, dinner

110
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 2: and a Cuban cigar. It didn't matter. And I'm not

111
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: talking about a Mark Cuban cigar. I'm talking about a

112
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: literal Cuban cigar. It wouldn't matter. And so now they're

113
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: the darlings of the Betty market to get Lebron James,

114
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 2: the Elder Statesman and pro bouncy ball. Now, I would

115
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: say forget the Heat because Lebron still got his panties

116
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: in a bunch over pat Riley and didn't really like

117
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: Eric Spolstra. Last I checked, they're still with the Heat,

118
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: so I would dismiss them. I don't see the Warriors.

119
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna dismiss Golden State, but I don't see that.

120
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: I'd forget about the Knickerbockers. Lebron's had multiple opportunities to

121
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: go to Gotham, and he wants nothing to do with

122
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: New York City, nothing to do with that, running from

123
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: the grind of the Big Apple. So forget that possibility.

124
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: And so you're you're looking around and what else is

125
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: going on?

126
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: Now?

127
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: I'm just not feeling the Mavericks. I'm not and it's

128
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: I've got the microphone, I've got the headphones, the tools

129
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: of ignorance here. So I'm just not feeling it. I

130
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: like the storylines, it's just not there now.

131
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: I have my.

132
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: Spidy senses tingling and not in a away with his story,

133
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: not in a good way with the story like Lebron

134
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: with the Mavericks. It just doesn't connect. The jigsaw puzzle

135
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: piece to me doesn't fit.

136
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: Now.

137
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: Secondly, what makes the most sense as we psychoanalyze Lebron James.

138
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: So let me point that the I want to get

139
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: this right out of the way. We have long said

140
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: the gambling market is a pretty good indicator. Generally speaking,

141
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: it is a solid indicator of what's going to happen.

142
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: The reason is they have some skin in the game,

143
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: they have financial liability.

144
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: At the same time, there are.

145
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: Times where the gambling market will change some things up

146
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: because they know they can get some dumb money and

147
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: they love dumb money, and people react. And just by

148
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: me talking about this or seeing somewhere on the interweb

149
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: that the Mavericks are the betting favorite for Lebron, some

150
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: of that dumb money I better bet on the Mavericks.

151
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: They're the favorite and all that stuff. So well, it

152
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 2: is a touchstone that we use. It's not the only

153
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: thing that we use then, and you have to use

154
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: your own intelligence when you look at these kind of things.

155
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: And so regardless, I just have it sideways on this one.

156
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: I do. Now. Lebron he's got a no trade clause.

157
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: He's one of two people in the NBA that have

158
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: a no trade class, Bradley Beal and Lebron who doesn't

159
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: belong anyway. So that means that he's got the Lakers

160
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: by the balls, okay, And if he wants out, it's

161
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: his call. He'll hand pick the team, and then the

162
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: Lakers will have to be the Dallas Mavericks in that trade.

163
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: They're the ones that are gonna get bent over and

164
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: if you know what I mean, they're gonna have to

165
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: get nothing, nothing in return. And so if Lebron wants out,

166
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: it's going to be his call. He's gonna say bye

167
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: bye and then step right into the portal. Now for me,

168
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: and if I'm putting my money down, I am betting

169
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: on Cleveland, the mistake by the Lake. That's where I'm betting.

170
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 2: By my The Calves are the team that makes the

171
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: most sense. If Lebron leaves the Lakers, it makes the

172
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: most sense. Right.

173
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Good.

174
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go great roster. Some people say great roster.

175
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a great roster. I'm gonna say good.

176
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 2: Lebron's heart from Akron, which is not Cleveland, but close enough,

177
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: the closest NBA team, Lebron's heart is still there.

178
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: Now, what is my evidence? Let me make my evidence here.

179
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: So Lebron, he's still interacting, he said. We talked about

180
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: this in a previous episode of the show. Lebron just

181
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: sent out a congratulatory message on social media to some

182
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: Cavalier executives. It's like he's ready. He's like, Hey, congratulations.

183
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: By the way, can I get the locker next to

184
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: Evan Mobley? By the way, can I get that? Yeah,

185
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 2: he didn't send that on X, but he thought about it.

186
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: He's in recent weeks been spotted working out at the

187
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: Cavaliers facility.

188
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: Hello. Yes, he has worn back in Ohio a.

189
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: Welcome hole, welcome home hat, and so he's done that.

190
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: He's essentially leaving Neon breadcrumbs like that old old game,

191
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: the old the movie Tron from back in the day. Right,

192
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 2: if you're into nostalgia, he's leaving Neon breadcrumbs around. And

193
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: so the cavaliers are quietly looking there at plus five

194
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: point fifty on the updated gambling market. And if you

195
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: think Lebron does not know, does not know exactly what

196
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: he's doing here, and he's just going to drag this

197
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: thing out as long as he can, then eventually he'll

198
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: hit the button and he's got the code. He's got

199
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: the nuclear code. You just have him been paying attention.

200
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: And so again, while the Mavericks waldb Mavericks. Maybe the

201
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: bookies picked. They may be the books pick. I would

202
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: not bet the mortgage on any of these teams. I

203
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: certain wouldn't better on Dallas. Lebron's bunker is in Cleveland.

204
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: It's in Ohio. Not Cleveland is an acrid, but.

205
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: That is his happy place.

206
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 2: That is his happy place, and that's where the wine flows.

207
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: And he goes down memory Lane like, oh man, memories

208
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: are alive.

209
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: Man.

210
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: I love that town. And it's got statues everywhere. Probably

211
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: it's a statue there.

212
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: Why not?

213
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: All right?

214
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: Now? Final thought?

215
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 2: So, how would the Lakers end up spinning a Lebron

216
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: James trade? Like, how do you end up spinning this.

217
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: What's the move if you end up trading Lebron? So

218
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: you bring in here, what you do is you bring

219
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: in Star Jones. You know Star Jones, right, she's I

220
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: think she's still on Divorce Court. Last night watched that

221
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: show a while back. She was on there, So I'm

222
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 2: gonna say that that she's still on there. And you know,

223
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: thirty minute episode of Divorce Court and the Lakers come

224
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: out and say, oh, he had a great relationship. It

225
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: was really good, it was wonderful. We didn't win a championshi,

226
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: we just got that Mickey Mouse ring, but we're happy

227
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: with that. We pretend that's a real championship from that

228
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: bogus bubble the resort in Orlando. So you celebrate that,

229
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: celebrate the good times, and you thank Lebron and you

230
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: just say, listen, you tell Star Jones in that Divorce Court,

231
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: like many relationships, he reconcilable differences. That's it. Put that

232
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: check that box. And the differences, of course, are that

233
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: Luca is now the bell of the ball and there's

234
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: no joy on skid row where the Lakers play, right,

235
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: So it does get old dicey, it does get a

236
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: little bit dicey because the Lakers have a lot of deadweight.

237
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: It's the family business, and that's no one's talking about this.

238
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: We're the only ones bringing this up. No one else

239
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 2: is bringing this up. If you get rid of Lebron James,

240
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: it has to be a package deal.

241
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: It's got to be a package. What do I mean

242
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: by that?

243
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: Any Lebron James trade, you have to include Bronnie James.

244
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: Bronnie James and Lebron must be traded together. It's like

245
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: a complimentary item when you go to Jack in the

246
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: Box and you want to upgrade to a combo meal. Right,

247
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: So it's a combo meal. It's like going to Mickey

248
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: D's or a Harte's or Chick fil It. You want

249
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: a combo meal. If you're the Lakers, you have to

250
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: include Bronnie Jims. Now, why do you have to include

251
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: Bronnie James. It would be malfeasance if you don't include it.

252
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: Because Bronnie James he has to exit stage right now.

253
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: He might be able to exit stage. Look, but he's

254
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: got to be gone. If Lebron's gone, Bronnie is only there.

255
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: He's a marketing mascot. He's a great tribute to Lebron

256
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: and the powers of persuasion by Lebron James, he gets

257
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: to play dress up. It's like make a wish, you

258
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: get to be on the Lakers. You're an emotional support

259
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: player for Lebron James, your daddy, congratulations. Right without Lebron,

260
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: Without Lebron, Bronnie James is not even sniffing a summer

261
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: league opportunity.

262
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: The guy can't play.

263
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: It's fascinating that there are dumb people that think he

264
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: can play. Right, he'd be sitting courtside maybe if Lebron

265
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: bought tickets, if Lebron didn't pull strings to get him

266
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: on the Lakers. And so the statuet reads okay, the

267
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: stat sheet reads with brownie. It reads like a witness

268
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: protection profile, like barely they're hoping not to be noticed.

269
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: When you look at the stats of Bronnie James, there

270
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: the spawn of le Bron, the spawn Lebron. Now, maybe

271
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: one day, Bronnie, I'm not gonna be completely negative.

272
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: I'll be Benny Bright's side.

273
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: There is a possibility in the multiverse that one day

274
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: Bronnie James becomes a serviceable rotation guard. Of course that'll

275
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: be in Serbia. Or in Russia or China, but it

276
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: ain't gonna be in the NBA right right now, he

277
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: is a member of the International International Union of Bricklayers.

278
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: It is always a brick house with Bronnie James there,

279
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: So cut the court. If you're gonna get rid of Lebron,

280
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: you gotta get rid of Bronnie James and they can

281
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: ride off into the sunset together because when Lebron's out

282
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: of the NBA, Broni's.

283
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Gonna be out of the NBA.

284
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: Now, maybe they can do a podcast together, right to

285
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: a podcast? Who's Lebron doing a podcast with? Somebody said,

286
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: I've not listened to Lebron's podcast. Somebody said he's doing

287
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: one with Steve Nash. Does that mean Steve nashill replace

288
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: Jason Kidd as the coach of the Mavericks, Because that's.

289
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: How you do it, right, Lebron.

290
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: Whoever's doing the podcast with Lebron, they get to coach Lebron, right,

291
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how JJ Reddick got the job. He

292
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: didn't know he's doing and he's pretending to be a

293
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: Laker coach. Wild it is the Bain Maler Show. We'll

294
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: circle back to the All Star game as well your thoughts.

295
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: The big story everyone's yapping about here, Kyle Schwarber wins

296
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: the MVP. There are people upset with Schwarbur winning the NVP,

297
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: and it is a compelling argument. He did not do

298
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: anything in the actual All Star Game. But Kyles former

299
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: is your MVP for hitting home runs against a batting

300
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 2: practice pitcher who was trying to have him hit home runs. Hello, Yeah,

301
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: that happened. That happened. Also, later this hour of malarly

302

Speaker 2: third degree straight ahead left on the cutting room floor. Also,

303
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: we'll get back to that. It was a circ do

304
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: sole with cleat situation.

305
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,840

Speaker 7: give him a little snacker Rudi right.

401
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 4: Here, you know, lined up, Willis.

402
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 7: He's athletic, you know, so he'll you know, he's got

403
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 7: the bucks, you know, so he'll jump up and down

404
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 7: and also anytime there's any food anywhere near that means

405
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 7: if I'm eating, that means Willis's eating. So he takes

406
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 7: a fence. Actually, you know when I break out the this,

407
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 7: the spicy nuggets or you know, the chicken out Fredo,

408
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 7: he doesn't get a bite. You know, rubs, he's right there,

409
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 7: rubs in the wrong way. But he's all, it's all good.

410
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 7: And well, you know we got to spread it out

411
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 7: to be eight about an hour or so ago. Well

412
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 7: we'll go for a walk, you know, maybe in another

413
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 7: half an hour so that the weather is Good's beautiful

414
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 7: thing right now in the case, you know, it's like

415
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 7: eighty degree or seventy five whatever, superhuman. So if it's

416
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 7: nice out there, we'll get it. We'll get it moving

417
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 7: and grooving. But Ben, he looks in Las Vegas is

418
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 7: already kind of put their two cents in this Lebron situation.

419
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 7: So I liked what you were saying in terms of

420
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 7: Dallas being a favorite in Miami second and Cleveland kind

421
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 7: of in the mix. Now, we do know this is

422
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 7: all for show and Lebron's not going anywhere, right, Okay,

423
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 7: we know this.

424
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 2: Is I don't know that the you who knows Lebron

425
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: wake up tomorrow and say I want out.

426
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: He's been, He's probably decided where he wants to go.

427
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: It's nice.

428
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 2: It's not zero chance that he wants to leave. It

429
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: seems odd you would want to leave when you get

430
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: to play with Luca. Everyone says how great Luca is,

431
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 2: and why would you want to leave that? If you're

432
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: a Lebron, you're an old player, why would you want

433
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: to go.

434
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: Away from that?

435
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, but he's having he's having a mid life Ben.

436
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna call it a it's a midlife event, okay,

437
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 7: because the fact of the matter is, for all the greatness,

438
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 7: all the NBA you know, all NBA stuff, and he

439
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 7: still has gas in the tank. But for the rest

440
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 7: of his career, including this year, he's Robin. His Batman

441
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 7: days are over bent. And that is the real crux

442
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 7: of the matter. That's who he's having a difficult time understanding.

443
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: Now.

444
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 7: For me, listen, it's no shame in being Robin to

445
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 7: Luka Doncic, who is twenty six years old, right, a

446
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 7: decade plus younger than you and a generational play there's

447
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 7: no shame in that. And the fact of the matter

448
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 7: that this is the best opportunity, pairing with Luca adding

449
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 7: some pieces. I know the West is a gauntlet, but Lebron,

450
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 7: are you gonna Are you gonna run your media empire

451
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 7: from that distant outpost in Cleveland? Is that where you're

452
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 7: running a metera empire from. Let's go to Dallas, you know,

453
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 7: not even the largest city in the lone star state. Okay,

454
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 7: you got some stuff going on there, but are you

455
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 7: gonna run your media empire from there? Never mind the

456
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 7: fact just fort one hundred million dollar house in Brentwood. Okay,

457
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 7: So the bottom line for me, Lebron, you are the guy,

458
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 7: a billionaire, so on and fourth, but you're really the

459
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 7: real clucks. The matter is the Lakers and Jennie bust

460
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 7: you know, is serious and always robbed Linka. They just said,

461
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 7: we're running this thing through, We're looking towards the future.

462
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 7: It doesn't mean Lebron Bronny you want to bring in

463
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 7: Bryce next year. That's making money too, So everybody's making

464
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 7: money here. It's just that you don't call the shots,

465
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 7: or the perception that you call the shots is not there.

466
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 3: That's why I think he's upset so.

467
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 4: These other teams.

468
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 7: It's you know, it's going to leave the news cycle,

469
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 7: and it's very exciting. But don't forget that he's under

470
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 7: contract for another year.

471
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 2: So the way that doesn't he come on now? You know, Andre,

472
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: you've been around the block here. You know, though it

473
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if Lebron wants to he wakes up, he says,

474
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: I want to play for the Charlotte Hornets because I

475
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: like Gricks. They'll find a way to get him on

476
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: the Charlotte Hornets. Those doesn't mean anything.

477
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: He can go anywhere he wants, but any team he

478
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: wants that that that's irrelevant, doesn't matter. He's got no

479
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: trade cause.

480
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: But if he says I don't want to play for

481
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: you anymore, they'll commodate him.

482
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 7: Sure, and Gritszard delicious bend. All I'm saying is that

483
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 7: other team is going to have to give pieces and acts.

484
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 7: It's not going to be a fire shale. It's not

485
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 7: going to be this Milwaukee situation where oh, we'll just

486
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 7: wave you pay you pay you to play somewhere else

487
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 7: and you can quietly walk off into the sunset. Canie

488
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 7: Bus rops Lincoln, though, we need something back, and I

489
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 7: think that's where the rubber is going to meet the road,

490
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 7: you know. Okay, Cleveland, go to Cleveland, Hey we need

491
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 7: Evan Mobley, you know.

492
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 4: Go to Dallas.

493
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 7: Youre obviously not.

494
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: They'll say, go Pound saying you're gonna get you.

495
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: Go to Cleveland.

496
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: We'll give you some water from Lake Erie, and we'll

497
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: give you some old potatoes that we found somewhere out

498
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: in the in the sticks.

499
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 7: They better be able to make the potato chips out

500
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 7: of those potatoes. But the Lakers are going to have

501
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 7: to get something back, and that would take these teams,

502
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 7: i e. Particularly Cleveland that's trying to build something towards

503
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 7: the championship. You're gonna have to reconfigure what's already working.

504
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 7: And that's where I think the deal is. Gonn is

505
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 7: going to hit the bricks Dalla the same thing. They're

506
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 7: building it around Cooper or Miami. They're not really competitive,

507
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 7: and I think they have their eyes on Ja Moran

508
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 7: and Jan Fancy Coople. So bottom line, I know you

509
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 7: got other callers me and Well, we're thrilled about the

510
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 7: Mallard palooza. But again, it's not a mid life crisis, Lebron.

511
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 7: It's have been life Levnce. Okay, but everybody plays the

512
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 7: fool sometimes. Okay, there's no shame Lebron in being rocking. Okay,

513
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 7: you can still make your money and have a great

514
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 7: time in Los Angeles.

515
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: But it's come to that.

516
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 7: And I know it's a shock to your system because

517
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 7: you're the chosen ones. Okay, but Robin had some good roles,

518
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 7: you know what I meaning? Once in Emmy, you can

519
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 7: shine in that role. Ben, thanks to much for taking

520
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:24,320

538
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960

00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: horrible horbo father. Like, I'm getting tired of this Lebron James.

543
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,840

Speaker 3: So yeah, I wouldn't be the price.

555
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,080

00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,400

00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:43,400

656
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Beyond a any and we can't be fixed. We just

657
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: have to get a new line too.

658
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: Well.

659
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: Left on the cutting room for if you watch the All.

660
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: Star game, you noticed that the announcer Joe Davis was

661
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: talking about Padre player Fernando with to Ts his career,

662
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 2: big start, big contract.

663
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: He mentioned that the tease missed the season and with

664
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: a suspension.

665
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: However, left on the cutting room floor left out of

666
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: the All Star broadcast was the part where Tatise was

667
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: suspended for let me check my notes.

668
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: Here performance and hitching drugs.

669
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 2: That's right, Fernando Tatis steroid chait. Yeah, I did not

670
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: mention ringworm medication. Did not mention that at all. That's

671
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: what now, that's supposedly he said. He did not know

672
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 2: that the ring worm medication had steroids in it. That's

673
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: what he claimed. Also, as far as the Cirque de

674
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: Sole with cleats, instead of having the All Stars as

675
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: they normally line up on the foul ones, if you

676
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: watched the pregame for the All Star Game, they were

677
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: introduced as they were introduced normally, they're just they line

678
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: up along the first and third base line. Instead, they

679
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: walked to a four level red podium that stretched across

680
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: the infield dirt. They had flashing lights, smoke, a DJ,

681
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 2: and chicks dancing is what they had at the All

682
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: Star Game. Yeah, and the podium looked like it was

683
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: something that they might maybe the NFL bought it on

684
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: offer up. I think it was like Rihanna used it

685
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: in an old Super Bowl halftime show or something like that.

686
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 2: Like her, I think it was like the same thing.

687
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: So so there was that it was nice that they

688
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: wore the actual team uniforms and if you noticed there

689
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: was no advertising patches on the jerseys because that costs more.

690
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: That costs more for the All Star Games, so they

691
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: didn't have those on there. There was no helmet ads.

692
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

693
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,400

741
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: To the third degree. This is one big event gets grilled,

742
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: all right, cool? What do we got?

743
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 9: It was reported on Monday that breakout forty nine Ers

744
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 9: receiver Juwan Jennings wants a new contract from the forty

745
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 9: nine ers or to be traded. Ben, what's the most

746
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 9: likely outcome here?

747
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they can't pay everyone the Niners obviously, if

748
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 2: they've given out a lot of money, the salary cap

749
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: is uh fugezy. But they've already paid brockberdy Kittle, They've

750
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: paid Warner on defense, big money, got Brandon Ayuck recovering.

751
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: They have a second year receiver, Ricky Piersoll. So Jennings

752
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: is replaceable, so he's not gonna. He's not gonna. He's

753
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: a one year wonder. If he did it for more

754
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: than one year, he was good. Last year he stepped

755
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 2: up with guys getting hurt. He's not someone that you're

756
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: going to pay a lot of money too because he's

757
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 2: only done it for one year and you've got other players.

758
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 9: Next, a recent survey of NFL league executives, coaches, and

759
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 9: scouts ranked Baker Mayfield as the tenth best quarterback in

760
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 9: the NFL.

761
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that ranking? It doesn't seem

762
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: legit to me. And and Baker played well in Tampa. It's

763
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: a scheme. He's a scheme guy. He's scheme dependent, and

764
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: he's he's been a roller coaster. Baker Mayfield with Cleveland,

765
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: good rookie year, a radic up and down injury, sucked

766
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 2: in Carolina, Okay with the Rams for like two games,

767
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: and then he's become okay in Tampa. I just don't

768
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 2: trust him, and he he still throws a lot of interceptions.

769
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 9: Next, Johnny Manziel said in a recent interview that if

770
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 9: nil had existed back when he was playing at Texas

771
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 9: A and M, he would have been taking a pay

772
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 9: cut to play in the NFL.

773
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bennessee, right, Yeah, that's not hyperbole, it's not I mean,

774
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: they raised over four hundred million in booster money for

775
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: the stadium because of Johnny Manziel. He would have been
