Jay Billis will join us coming up at 10 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: about fifteen twenty minutes from now. Phone calls are always welcome. 11 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: I think we have a poll question. I haven't checked 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: in with mclovin from the first hour on that. Also, 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: Chris Mannox from Sports Illustrated covers the NBA his thoughts 14 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: on the big deal that brought Russell Westbrook Junior, the 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: third to the Lakers. Also big news yesterday with the Dodgers. 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: You're if you're a big market team, sometimes you have 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: to act like it, and yesterday Los Angeles acted like it. 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: Flex It's sports muscles. The Dodgers look like they were 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: gonna lose the Nationals match the Padres, and then that 20 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: story changed. So not only do they land Scherzer, they 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: get the All Star infield or trade Turner, and not 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: to be outdone, then the Lakers added Russell Westbrook. So 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: it should be interesting to see how the former MVP 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: fits in with Lebron and ad Southern California is loaded 25 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: with stars, you know. Don't forget the Rams adding Matthew Stafford. 26 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert looks like a star for the Chargers, the Angels, Shoheyutani. 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: The story of baseball this year. The Clippers actually made 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 1: the Conference finals, but the story today is about Scherz, Turner, 29 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: and Westbrook. Three more stars in the Land of Stars, 30 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: and the kind of trades that fans have every right 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: to expect a result in a significant postseason success. The 32 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Scherzer deal. I understand it. I like it. I love 33 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: watching Scherzer pitch. You keep him away from the Padres, 34 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: who with their rotation and a little bit more suspect. 35 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: You keep him away from the Giants if they were 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: truly in on this. And the Dodgers have a chance 37 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: to fill in that Trevor Bauer void right now, you're 38 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: trying to find a little more magic in the field, 39 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: the mystery of Cody Bellinger. But this is a big 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: time move. This is a big market move by them, 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: and the same with the Lakers. I think the Lakers 42 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: could have gone into next season as second best favorites 43 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: to win at all behind the nets if they didn't 44 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: make a move for Russell Westbrook. I don't know. It 45 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: feels like there's more downside for me with the Russell 46 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: Westbrook move. He's an amazing singular talent, but basketball is 47 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: a team game. I just don't think he helps you win. 48 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: Four teams in four years tells you he's just gone 49 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: some holes what he does well. I don't think that 50 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: helps the Lakers that much. He might be the worst 51 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: high volume shooter in the history of basketball. He's at 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: least on the short list. He doesn't shoot well from deep, 53 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: even taking care of the ball like he's ball security 54 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: not great. He averages at least four turnovers the last 55 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: seven years, four turnovers a game. Nobody's done that. You know, 56 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: Harden did it three times. And at times he's not 57 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: a good defensive player, even though with that athleticism, he's 58 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: not a good defensive player. But you know you're bringing 59 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: everybody down. I know, well, I just try to inject 60 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: a dose of reality That's all what I have wanted, 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: Buddy healed if I was giving up the same, Yes, 62 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: because he helps me. I know that he absolutely helps. Now, 63 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook is going to be a guy who plays 64 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: every game. He plays every possession as if it's his last. 65 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: I understand all of these great things he led the 66 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: league and assist it could be a great regular season addition. 67 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: But I just I don't know. His true shooting percentage 68 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: is awful, Like it's just your teams are going to 69 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: say go ahead and go ahead, Russ shoot. And I 70 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: got Lebron at age thirty seven is my point guard? 71 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, m the club, Okay, is there 72 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: a chance that we'll have what you might call the 73 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: Lebron effect where some players have gotten much better when 74 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Lebron is on the team. You know, I don't like 75 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: great players sometimes bring up guys. You know, I'm not 76 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes I think I think Lebron stunted the growth of 77 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: Brandon ingram uh Kuzma, Lonzo ball I was a kit 78 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: of contavious Cardwell. Pope Shore seems to play better with Lebron, 79 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: like some role players seemed to flourish with Lebron. Yeah, 80 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: but I think the players I'm talking about Ingram is 81 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: not a role player, right, The younger sort of future 82 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: stars might not get you, right, but maybe like some 83 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: role players seem to really like fit well. I'm thinking 84 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: back to Cleveland and stuff was a Kyle Korver and 85 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: those guys sometimes play really well. I just don't know 86 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: where you're getting your shooters from, because we make it 87 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: seem like, oh yeah, they just had to sprinkle in 88 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: a couple of shooters. Okay, where are those shooters? I understand, 89 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: you know you're in a trade Kuzma, and I think 90 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: he will be better outside of Los Angeles. But you know, Caruso, like, 91 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: what do I have? What's my roster? Can you find 92 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: a Duncan Robinson? You know, I just need somebody who 93 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: keeps the defense honest, and Russ doesn't keep the defense 94 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: honest and Lebron is not a great shooter. Well, but 95 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: with Lebron and a d you're still the favorites out West. 96 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: But I mean I would keep an eye on Golden State. 97 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I know, I keep saying that that would be the 98 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: only team I would be concerned about because you got 99 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: some young players and you still have that core. If 100 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: if Clay is able to come back and reclaim anywhere 101 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: near an All Star form. You know, Can I lean 102 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: on Draymond Green? Yeah, probably for another two years. But 103 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: I still think Ben Simmons would be an interesting choice 104 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: for the Warriors because he can be sort of a 105 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: Draymond Green. Draymond obviously a better three point shooter, but 106 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: but he's a good defender. He can guard a variety 107 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: of players, and he can, you know, be a guy 108 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: that you don't have to bank on for being an 109 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: offensive weapon. And in his weaponry could be that he 110 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: scores inside he passes. But you know, I didn't know 111 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: if we were going to see other trades last night. 112 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: I thought Golden State might make a move. And it 113 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: feels like Bradley Beale is going to stay in Washington, 114 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: and maybe he's happy staying there in Washington, even with 115 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, uh, you know, departing. Yeah, the club. So 116 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: I'm dying to share this NFL news. I'm jumping out 117 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: of my skinning to tell you what just happened. Okay, 118 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: there's a quarterback situation that we've talked about in the 119 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: past but hasn't come up a lot lately. Guess who walked. 120 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: There's a quarterback who walked down in the field with 121 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: the first team for the first camp today that you 122 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: might not have remembered was in the picture. Who could 123 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: be the starter for a good team? Oh? Yeah, I 124 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: know that sounds so weird, and I had forgotten about 125 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: this potential quarterback competition myself altogether. Okay, so going out 126 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: could be starting for a potentially good team. Yeah, like 127 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: a traditional playoff team, traditional playoff team. It's funny we 128 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: haven't talked about this situation at all the last few weeks. 129 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph. No, No, okay, go ahead. Taysom Hill is 130 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: the first team starter for the Saints, right, like, we 131 00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: haven't done a lot of taste, but Javis lately, Oh, 132 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: let the games begin, Taysom Hill. Yes to me, that's 133 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: that's a really undercovered story because you have two interesting, threatening, 134 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: possibly disastrous quarterbacks all at the same time. Used to 135 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: have the steadiest quarterback in the league quarterback in you. Yeah, yes, club, 136 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: who do you want? Content wise? I'll give you your choice. Oh, 137 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: I both are gonna give. They are both will give. 138 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: Jamis will give you. I think more. It could be 139 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: really really high and it could be really really low 140 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: taste him is just a He's just a curiosity, and 141 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: I would want to keep him a curiosity. But Sean 142 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Payton has forgotten more football than I know, and he's 143 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: probably gonna find a way to work him in there. 144 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: I just don't think Taysom is in every down quarterback, 145 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: but I think he's valuable and you could put him 146 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: in there in different positions tight end, running back, quarterback, 147 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: trick plays. I think Jamis Winston feels like he's a 148 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: legitimate NFL quarterback, or at least the potential. Taysom is 149 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: going to be just that curiosity. Yes, poll. Remember that 150 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: scene of Bull Durham where Nukel loose U twenty Stricot's 151 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: new league record twenty walks new lead. That's what Jamis 152 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: Winston feels like he could lead the league in touchdown passes, 153 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: throne and interceptions.

But yeah, 174 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: I went down to Pek's and that's after two, you know, 175 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: fifteen minute periods of extra time, so they've been playing 176 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: for you know, ninety minutes plus that stoppage time plus 177 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: all of that. Earmuffs, earmuffs, earmuffs. If you don't want 178 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: to know the results. You want to watch it tonight. 179 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: And here we go. A listenaire absolute boss two saves 180 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: Megan Rapino hits the clincher ball game, so Team USA 181 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: with penalty kicks wins four two to advance. Moves on. 182 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: All right, a listenaire who my kids went to school 183 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: with in Trumbull, Connecticut. And I've known earth since I 184 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: think she's eleven years of age. It's so weird, like 185 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: you're watching somebody that my kids would always say, Dad, 186 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: this a listener is really good. I go, she's playing 187 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: at a small school in Trumbull, Connecticut. I mean, how 188 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: many people in their lifetime get to know somebody like that. Oh, 189 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: I know, you know what it's so it's such a rarity. 190 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: And she had two great saves with penalty kicks. But 191 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm watching her, but I'm watching her differently. It's like, 192 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: that's just a lista that's not a listen there. And 193 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: she's a Team USA goalkeeper and took over for Hope 194 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: Solo and you know she's she did this at the 195 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: last Olympics as well. Yes, pould. She plays the entire 196 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: game with a scowl on her face like it looks 197 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: like she's angry at the game. Yeah, and she's awesome. 198 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: Yep she is. So that just happened, and once again, 199 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: welcome back. If you were Irama, you never know how 200 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: long you ear muff. You know, that's like there's there's 201 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: no like, okay can I But that's the problem with 202 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: ear muffs and radio. We can't be like, hey, we're done. 203 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: Now it's over, We're done, you can come back. They're 204 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: just kind of it's something that shocks you. Something.

Yeah, I didn't know we were the 229 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: lead story today. I think we're good for the next month. 230 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: Dan and Ohio joining us. Hi, Dan, what's on your mind? Morning, sir? 231 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: How are you great? Dan? Great? Hey? I'm calling you 232 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: to be your most unique caller today from a hyperbaric 233 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: chamber in Toledo, Ohio. I've been calling in since two 234 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: thousand and eight when I was driving eighty five thousand 235 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: miles a year and listen to you guys every day, 236 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: and wanted to thank you for the upgrading technology because 237 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: I used to have to missappointments to hear your guests 238 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: on the radio, and now I can just podcast them. Awesome. 239 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: So I also have one question for you. I'm not 240 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: a smart guy, but it is the trade for Russell 241 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: west Westbrook to the Lakers. Can he be used as 242 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: a decoy? Perhaps? Thank you, Dan. I don't I think 243 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna have the ball in his hands. You're gonna 244 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: want him to have the ball in his hands. I 245 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: don't know how he would be a decoy because you 246 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: want him to shoot like. It's not like you go, oh, 247 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: we'll put him over here, that'll draw the defense over here, 248 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: the deepen. This is probably going no need to go 249 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: over there. And Russ is a great scorer, but he's 250 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: just not a great shooter. Yeah. See, you're telling me 251 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: that they got Russ and now they're gonna add Mellow. 252 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: That's must watch. Every game is a MutS watch. Carmelo 253 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: Anthony joining the squad too, love it. Let's go. If 254 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: you were going to add Mellow, I would have added 255 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: him a couple of years ago. If you go back 256 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: seven to ten years ago, this team is just unstoppable. Well, 257 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis was probably still in Kentucky though. Oh yeah, yeah, 258 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: it's weird. I want Carmelo Anthony get a ring. I 259 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: really liked the guy and his career kind of got wonky, 260 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: Phil and Indiana. Then we'll take a break. The great 261 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: Jay billis Skill join us. Hey, Dan, always a great 262 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: pleasure to be with you. I want to find out 263 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: from you. It's interesting. I saw that the three guys 264 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: alone for the Lakers now are over the salary cap, 265 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: so they've only got five players signed, so the only 266 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: thing they can do on the balance is signed guys 267 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: at a league minimum. How are you going to fill 268 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: a roster, Dan, or what's that roster going to look like? 269 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: As always, Dan, I appreciate it. Have a great weekend 270 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: you too, Phil. Always great to hear from you. Yeah, 271 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: this is I just don't know where you're I saw 272 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,119 Speaker 1: where they signed Matt mc McClung, who played at Georgetown 273 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: and then Texas Tech. He's not a great shooter either. 274 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: He's great in dunk contest. He's a good athlete. We 275 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: brought him in for the dunk contest. Yes mcclumen. Yeah, 276 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: but people know who he is compared to all the 277 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: guys who went last night, all the freshmen. Well, they 278 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: also got this kid Reeves out of Oklahoma's who's a 279 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: talented player. But I don't know if he's a good 280 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: enough shooter. Oh if I only had a little a 281 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: few more years that I could take off my life, 282 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: I could help the Lakers. I think you know, a 283 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: spot up shooter. You don't have to do anything like 284 00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: I was Duncan Robinson before Duncan Robinson. No defense, no athleteticism, 285 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: Just not shoot some threes. That's it. It sounds like 286 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: Jay billis without the shooting the threes. WHOA, I just 287 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: took a shot there, Todd.

He's the fifth former MVP 325 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: to play for four different NBA teams over the span 326 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: of four years, Bob McAdoo, Shack Allen Iverson, and Derek Rose. 327 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: But one thing to consider, thirty four players have average 328 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: at least twenty points per game over the last four years. 329 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook is thirty third in true shooting percentage in 330 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: that time frame. He does gave you buckets. I just 331 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: don't know if he makes you better or how he 332 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: makes you better. I don't think he's an elite defender anymore. 333 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 1: I know he led the league an assist and he 334 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: plays hard. I love it, and he's gonna play every game, 335 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: but I just don't I don't think he's great for 336 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: a team. I think he's just a great individual. Player. 337 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: I'd start there with Jay Billis ESPN College Basketball and 338 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: your thoughts on Russell Westbrook going to the Lakers. I 339 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: love it. I think it's going to be great to 340 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: watch and teaming up with a D and Lebron it 341 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: should be really fun. I mean, I don't differ with 342 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: anything you're saying. Westbrook's got to kind of live with 343 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: his record. But he's a gamer, man. I we all 344 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: watched him in college, but I remember Ben Hallen telling 345 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: me that his freshman year or software year in high 346 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: school couldn't dunk, and then you know, he was this 347 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: freak athlete. I was like, he couldn't dunk. Really, it's 348 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: just an amazing, amazing player. But what do you remember 349 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: about that? Because he was one year at UCLA. But 350 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: do you remember anything special about him that you thought 351 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: would translate to the NBA? Oh yeah, I mean I 352 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: wasn't sure he was going to be taking number four overall, 353 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: but he knew he was a lottery pick and would 354 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: be a great player just because of his incredible athleticism. 355 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: And I remember him being a really quyat uh, you know, 356 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: a quiet young player and U but he was. He 357 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: was a thrill to watch and heck, those UCLA teams 358 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: back then, they went to three straight final fours and 359 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: he was certainly part of that. But they had a 360 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: they had a bunch of great players, you know, Kevin 361 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Love and and Westbrook. I mean it was it was 362 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: an awesome, awesome group to be around. But j just 363 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: froze up. So we'll see if we can get him back. Yeah, 364 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: because you you know, I remember when Kevin Love came 365 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: out and was drafted and Paulie and I were having 366 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: a discussion, Oh, Jay's back there. Did you realize Kevin 367 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: Love was something special back then as well? Jay? For 368 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: Kevin Love now, yeah, back then at at UCLA, oh yeah, 369 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: because he could. He was like a crazy rebounder. I mean, 370 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't in the kind of physical condition he is 371 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: now where he's you know, really thin and cut. He 372 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: was a little, you know, a little heavier. But I 373 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: remember being a practice one day at Pauli and the 374 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: players had left the floor and I was sitting out 375 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: with Ben Hallin and he was telling me that Kevin 376 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: Love could throw a chess pass from the baseline into 377 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: the opposite basket. Nine. I'm going, oh, there's no way, 378 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: And he sent a manager in to bring Kevin out 379 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: and he made I think he made seven out of 380 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: ten and it was you know, if you were I 381 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: did that, we would maybe get it to the opposite 382 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: free throw line. And he's making buckets from the I 383 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: still have never seen anything like that. You worked the 384 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: draft last night. You certainly love Kade Cunningham. Um, what 385 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: does he do? You didn't you said he didn't have 386 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: that freakish athleticism. But what is it that he does 387 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: so well that makes him so special? He really does check, 388 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, check every box that you would have for 389 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: a player. He doesn't have any weaknesses. He is I 390 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: think he's a lot like you know, maybe because it's Detroit. 391 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: You start saying, well, you know, he has a lot 392 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: of similarities to Grant Hill, except at that age he was. Um, 393 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, Kate Cunningham's a far better shooter than Grant was. 394 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: I think he's more skilled and more polished. But a 395 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: lot of players are now. The players are way ahead 396 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: of where they were years ago. But but the one 397 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: thing he doesn't have is that like he's a great athlete, 398 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: but he's not a free, crazy athlete like Grant was. 399 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: That's the one difference but because of the way, you know, 400 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: he shoots over forty percent from three, he's got every 401 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: move to get his own shot. Uh. He's a ridiculously 402 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: good pastor handler, and he's got you know, he's got 403 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: the ability to make plays when it counts, and he's 404 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: not not only is he not afraid of it, but 405 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: he kind of gets what he's supposed to do in 406 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: those in those um those moments. He and Jalen Suggs 407 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: of Gonzaga UM, who was taken fifth, I think to Orlando, 408 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: I think have similarities there that that you know, end 409 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: of games, they're they're fierce competitors in addition to being 410 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: really good players. When you start to look at the draft, 411 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: let's say twenty years ago, is Evan Mobley the first 412 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: player taken? Not twenty years ago because that was that 413 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: was Lebron's year. Wasn't two thousand? No, No, that's style. 414 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: I mean a big man. Let's say, well, let's say 415 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: in a difference, Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay, 416 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, I misunderstood. Yeah, yeah yeah, Evan Mobley 417 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: would have been one and the same thing with last 418 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: year James Wiseman. UM. He would have been one. We 419 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: just everybody thought differently back then, and the game was different. 420 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: And honestly, Dan, it took me a while and still 421 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: taking me a while to wrap my head around. You know, 422 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: I still kind of lean toward, you know, a big 423 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: guy when you're you're making some of those Oh he 424 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: was going to nail that too. He's frozen, ready to 425 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: say decision to lead NBA skills over just you know, 426 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: being really good in certain areas. But I've gone away 427 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: from that too, because smaller guys do really well now. 428 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: But also I look at the Greek freak and I 429 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: thought the difference in the NBA Finals was he went low. 430 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: He went down low and nobody could guard him there, 431 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: whereas they had him on the perimeter, bringing the ball 432 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: up occasionally shooting a three. I just I wonder if 433 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: there's going to be a team that just says, you 434 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: got to deal with us, and this is how we 435 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: play and almost be counterintuitive to what you know, the 436 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: new the new NBA's all about. Can you see a 437 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: strategy like then? Yeah, But but I don't think you're 438 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: going to see somebody say, okay, let's go back to 439 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: the way the Houston Rockets did it in the eighties 440 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: and have twin towers, and we'll put them down the 441 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: low blocks and play high low and clog everything up. 442 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: You know, now you have to. That's why I differ 443 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: with people that say that, you know, the Golden State 444 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: Warriors couldn't hang with the you know, Jordan's Bulls or 445 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: anything like that. I believe they could because the game 446 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: is so different. It's more spread out, they're more three 447 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: shot and and I think spreading out those and then 448 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: you start asking, okay, who would who would Bill Cartwright 449 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 1: have guarded? You know, there there are a lot of 450 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: questions that would have to be answered, and it's not 451 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: a no brainer that this team would win, just because 452 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: players were tougher back then and they were better competitors 453 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: and all that. You know, they act like nobody called 454 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: fouls back then. It's just flagrant fouls were allowed, and 455 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, like, oh my god, they know these skinny, 456 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, skinny guys couldn't have made it. As if 457 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: George Gerbin and Reggie Miller didn't play. And remember Steve 458 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: Kerr played in those games too. You know, he kind 459 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: of laughs at this stuff too, about you know, today's 460 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 1: player not being able to hang back in the day. 461 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: But who do you think would be more shocked if 462 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: Jordan's bulls were facing the Warriors but they had no 463 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: idea that style the Warriors played, or the Warriors would 464 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: be playing Jordan's Bulls in the style that they play, 465 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: or the physicality. Who would have the harder time kind 466 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: of adjusting to what they're seeing, what they're what they're experiencing. Well, 467 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the bulls that have a little 468 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: bit of a harder time because of the amount of 469 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: threes that we're being shot and how spread out everything 470 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: is and the movement that you see now and there's 471 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 1: more passing than than back in the day. Um, so 472 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: I think it. Look they'd both be shocked in a way. 473 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: It depends who's reugh in the game by the way 474 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: they go by the old rules of the new rules. 475 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: Um you know, when you could you could flagrant foul. 476 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, but it's kind 477 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: of funny. There's something on social media the other day 478 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: about the opening of the NFL today back when Brent Musburger, 479 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: Nerve Cross and Phillis Georgia on it, and somebody had 480 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: said that everything they showed in there is now illegal 481 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: in football, like the stuff the stuff that you know, 482 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: the all the highlights they showed illegal and every game 483 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: has changed and they've just taken you know, like basketball 484 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: has just taken out flagrant they you know, the stuff 485 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: that caused fights. They haven't taken out you know, fouls 486 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: and they still called fouls back in the day. I'll 487 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: leave you with this, this the state of college basketball 488 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: with what's happening in football, how is that going to 489 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: impact college basketball? We've froze up again. We'll leave that 490 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: question to the conference conferences are going to take it. 491 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you froze up here, so I'm sorry. Yeah, 492 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: what do you think is going to happen with college basketball? Well, 493 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: it's going to remain healthy as long as the ncable 494 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: A Tournament does. But I think we're going to see 495 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: the big shots play the big shots more often, and 496 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: we're not going to see as many intersectional games against 497 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: directional schools, just like we're seeing in football. But basketball 498 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: is going to follow what football does, um and and 499 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: you're you're going to see consolidation of power among the 500 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: big conferences in football and the the the bigger going 501 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: to get bigger and more powerful because the NC double 502 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: A is not going to be policing it anymore, and 503 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: so the conferences are going to be making all the decisions, 504 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: and their decisions are going to be how much money 505 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: can we make? And they're gonna make it. I mean, 506 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: the SEC is going to be making over a billion 507 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: dollars a year very very soon, and everybody else is 508 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: going to have to scramble to keep up, and they're 509 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: going to do it like they're going to do whatever 510 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: it takes to keep up. Jay, have a great weekend, 511 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: fun watch last night. Thank you as always for joining us, 512 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: great being with you. Thanks for having me. That's Jay 513 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: billis ESPN College Basketball Analyst And get a couple of 514 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: phone calls in here Ryan and North Carolina. Good morning, Ryan, 515 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hi? Dan, Thanks for taking 516 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: my call. I love the show. Try to listen as 517 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: much as I possibly can. And I agree with you 518 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: about Russell Westbrook. I think back to when they were 519 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: on the Oklahoma Thunder team. You had Kevin Durant pre injury, 520 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: James Harden twenty pounds ago, and Russell Westbrook and his 521 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: prime and they never won a championship. And I thought 522 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: that was a team that would have repeated or repeated, 523 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: and that may go down as one of the biggest 524 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: kind of disappointments in history. You can look at the 525 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,959 Speaker 1: amount of MVPs they had. But how is the Lakers 526 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: going to be any different? I mean, You've got Lebron, 527 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: He's injury prone now done. Anthony Davis's injury prone. Lebron's 528 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: kind of on the tail end of his career. I 529 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: just don't see Westbrook now also in the tail end 530 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: of his career, changing the dynamic there much. Well, Westbrook's 531 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: not really on the tail end, but Lebron and the 532 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: tempo that Russell Westbrook provides is that what Lebron wants. 533 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: It always feels like Lebron. You know, Lebron is not 534 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: a fill the lane guy anymore. I mean in transition, yes, 535 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: but it feels like half court is you know, suits 536 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: his fancy a little bit more. But with Russ, He's 537 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: going to be there for you during the regular season. 538 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: He's an energy guy. You know, he had thirty eight 539 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: triple doubles last season. He I think has one hundred 540 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: eighty four triple doubles and next on that list is 541 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: Lebron James with ninety nine. He's gonna give you numbers, 542 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: But numbers are so deceiving. The numbers do lie because 543 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: you can go, man, he's putting up a triple double. Okay, 544 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: how's he shooting? Oh not very well. Does he turn 545 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: the ball over? Oh yeah? He averages over four turnovers 546 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: the game. Okay, but he's averaged in a triple double. 547 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: That's where the numbers are very, very deceiving. I don't know. 548 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: I want to know when you could get your buckets? 549 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: How you get your buckets? Can you get them when 550 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: you have to get them? Look at the NBA playoffs 551 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: comes down to a possession. Did you do it? Did 552 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: you not do it? Who's the guy you go to? 553 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: Who are you going to go to in the playoffs? 554 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: Is Russell Westbrook different in the playoffs than he is 555 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: during the regular season? Is he going to be the 556 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: same player. It's splashy and it's a big name, and 557 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: we like that. Buddy Healed was not going to get 558 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: anywhere near this attention. But Buddy Healed to me is 559 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: a better fit for the Lakers. But you're trying to 560 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: cobble together a lineup here, and if you do have 561 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: another injury, I think there's wiggle room out West. But 562 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: you know, the Phoenix Suns are still going to be good, 563 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: and I expect Booker and eighton to get better. Chris 564 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: Paul probably not so. But can I get some of 565 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: the role players to step up and be, you know, 566 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: a little bit more helpful because what happens is you 567 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: normally have eight players. This is a philosophy of NBA coaches. 568 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: I got eight, I play seven. I have eight players, 569 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: but I'm really playing seven. That's what happens when you 570 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: get to the postseason. That's what Milwaukee did. We have eight. 571 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna play seven. That's all you need. But Milwaukee's 572 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: a young team. The Lakers not necessarily with Lebron at 573 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: thirty seven and a lot of mileage. I mean, he's 574 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: he's probably forty. His body is forty. I put the 575 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: postseason on top of that, and he's played what three 576 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: seasons can Anthony Davis. It really comes down to if 577 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis stays healthy, he takes pressure off Lebron for 578 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: having to do more than we're asking him to do. 579 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: And I don't want Russell Westbrook to try to do more. 580 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: I want him to be a little bit smarter, more 581 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: economical with what he does, pick your spots, and he 582 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: has that talent, that ability. I'm just not quite sure, 583 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: and I'll talk to Mannix about this, get his thoughts 584 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: on it. He's a Russell Westbrook fan, Paul and Iowa 585 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: joins us. Hey, Paul, what's on your mind today? Hey guys, Well, first, 586 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: I gotta say this week great week on the show, 587 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: and not very different from last week when mclovin's gone. 588 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: You know, he's kind of the Utah Jazz of the 589 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: Danette when he's there. He's there when he's on. It's 590 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: still the same. But it was incredible watching Woach and 591 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: Sham's battle in the wording of their tweets yesterday to 592 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: where it's the whole day started with Woach saying that 593 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: Buddy Healed is going to the Lakers for Kuzlo and 594 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: Montres Halo Harold, and then Sham's dropped the bomb of 595 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook and Woad came back to him. It was 596 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: the same package. It was the same package. I had. 597 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: I had sources, you know, and it was super interesting. 598 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: But I think Heales would have been a much better fit. Yeh, 599 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: offball shooter, you know, so I agree with you there, 600 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: Dan all right, thank you, Paul. I think Woge said 601 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: that it's in play. I don't think they said that. 602 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: You know, this was eminent that they were getting, Buddy healed. 603 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: I don't know the language there, the curiosity, and I 604 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: don't know the approach that ESPN has with the draft 605 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: because when Woge used to work at Yahoo Sports, Wog 606 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: would have his wog bombs and he would tell you 607 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 1: ahead of time who was taking who. But now you're 608 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,720 Speaker 1: working for ESPN, you don't. It's almost like you're sabotaging 609 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: your own broadcast by sending it out that this is 610 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: who somebody's taking moments before your network is announcing who 611 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: they're taking. And I knew the first three picks, but 612 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: because there's competition with WOJ and Shams that he still 613 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: has to maintain that I am I'm the person who 614 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: breaks all the news here. But it was it was 615 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,760 Speaker 1: it's different when you're not like Jay Glazier. When Glazier 616 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: would do it, Fox wasn't carrying the draft, you know, 617 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: NFL network wasn't and the Mother's Ship and Jay would say, hey, 618 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: the Steelers are taking, the Patriots are taking and that 619 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: was fine, But when it's when it's ESPN who is 620 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: carrying the draft. I was surprised they said, hey, you 621 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: can still put the WOJE bombs out there. Yeah, Polly, 622 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: it does make it tough to watch the first half 623 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: hour last night because you knew the first three picks. 624 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: So what's the entertainment value of that show? You know 625 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. The interviews are not very interesting. 626 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: Analysis is fine, but the only reason to watch a 627 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: show like that is to find out the birthday present 628 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 1: the Christmas president of your team is going to open up. 629 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: I don't follow Twitter, not on Twitter, don't want to 630 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: know what's happening. And I'm thinking, are the Warriors going 631 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 1: to take Franz Wagner? And McLevin goes, oh, Cham's is 632 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: putting out there taking cominga I'm like, uh, will we 633 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: stop it? Frank Wagner? Franz Wagner, where did he go? 634 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: Orlando Sugs your squad? Yes, my team. Nobody watches more 635 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: Orlando Magic basketball outside of Orlando than you. Yes, mcleven. 636 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,959 Speaker 1: Can we be honest? They could have spoiled the whole draft. 637 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: There was a bunch of players you'd ever heard of 638 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 1: going to the the Magic and Thunder had every pick. 639 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: It felt like that, Yeah, do you realize and you can. 640 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: We'll take a break. I think there's an astounding number 641 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: of first round picks that are owned by the Oklahoma 642 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 1: City Thunder over the next seven years, and my math 643 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: might be off. Oklahoma City has seventeen first round draft 644 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: picks over the next seven years.

So I 667 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: hope the Terry is feeling better and heading home and 668 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: will not be managing the rest of this season. All right. 669 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: It's true, Thunder have seventeen first round picks over the 670 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,800 Speaker 1: next seven years, and I don't know if they'll add 671 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: to that. I don't know if they'll trade some of 672 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: those picks, but they are very good at stockpiling here. 673 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure what Oklahoma City's, you know, their 674 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: game plan is going to be. But they're young, and 675 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to stay young. It certainly feels 676 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: like that, and it feels like they're they're building around 677 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: Shay Gilga Alexander, who I really think is a very 678 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: good player. I'm just not sure if he is your 679 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: a your alpha there, but had a lot of picks. Yeah, Paul, 680 00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,320 Speaker 1: Well what's your strategy there? If you're Oklahoma, would you 681 00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,840 Speaker 1: rather have the tenth, fourteenth, and twenty eight pick or 682 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 1: the third pick of the draft? Well, you'd want the third, 683 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: but you know, maybe they're eventually going to get up 684 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: there if they don't have a very good team. Can 685 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: you package I thought Golden State was going to make 686 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: a move like that last night, and maybe they were 687 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: trying to with Ben Simmons. It's just what Philadelphia wants 688 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: in return for Ben Simmons is you would have thought 689 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: that Ben Simmons could actually shoot threes and make his 690 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: free throws. If you said, hey, Ben can make eighty 691 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: percent of his free throws and he can shoot forty 692 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: percent from three point range, Now, what do you want 693 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: to give us? Okay, we'll give you what you're asking 694 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 1: for now. Not. He can't make free throws, doesn't want 695 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: to shoot free throws, can't shoot threes. And I think 696 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 1: there's more pictures of him in a hot tub on 697 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,360 Speaker 1: Instagram than there are him on a basketball floor this summer. 698 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: Is that just me McLevin. Oh. I honestly, I've not 699 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: seen any things about him working on a shot. Philly 700 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: is so off on him right now. They do. Fans 701 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: do not like them. I'm not that they don't like him, 702 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: but they don't see him dedicating to the team. I 703 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: think they want to get rid of him at this point. 704 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: I don't. I just can't see him coming back there 705 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: because the first sign of I don't want to go 706 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 1: to the free throw line or I'm wide open from 707 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: three point range. It's with that crowd that's sitting, it's 708 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: not going to go well. Uh, Mike in Wisconsin, Hi, Mike, 709 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey? Damn? Five nine one 710 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: sixty five. It's just a comment on the west Westbrook trade. Um, 711 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 1: can this be compared to kind of what has happened 712 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and Randall Copp and Tom Brady and 713 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay with you know, these Marquee players wanting 714 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 1: to have a sheet at the table as we've been saying, 715 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: and making personnel decisions. And I think, you know, Lebron 716 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: has kind of run the show for the last few years, 717 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 1: and maybe if Westbrook obviously he had to sign off 718 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: on it. It is it kind of maybe he's just 719 00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: bringing in a buddy and maybe it's not the best 720 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 1: move for this team, and just kind of goes to 721 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: show that players, you know, maybe have too much so 722 00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: an input. But well, it's tricky when you when you 723 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,719 Speaker 1: have a star player and that star player wants to 724 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: have input, how much input does he have? When do 725 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: you say no? Because this is personal for stars, it's 726 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: emotional for stars. They're not cutthroat like this. Like Tom 727 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 1: Rady really wanted Antonio Brown, even though Antonio Brown not 728 00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: a good guy, but Tom still wanted him. He wanted 729 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: him in New England. Now, they did win the Super 730 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: Bowl and it worked out, but it could have been bad. 731 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,759 Speaker 1: It could have been, you know, a situation that didn't 732 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: work out the way we thought. He wanted to bring 733 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: in Gronk. We didn't know how healthy Gronk was. He 734 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: wanted to bring in Gronk. Gronk could have been the 735 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. It worked out with Lebron. I think 736 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: he's developed a friendship with Russell Westbrook. I think that 737 00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: they met recently at Lebron's house with Anthony Davis, and 738 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: I think it's been in the works for a while. 739 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: Everybody tried to connect the dots to Damian Lillard. They 740 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: weren't getting Damian Lillard. Do you think you could have 741 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,760 Speaker 1: gotten Damian Lillard for this package that you traded to Washington, Russell, Westbrook, Nowell. 742 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 1: But Russ was available. There's a reason why he's available. 743 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: You know, Washington going in a different direction and Russ 744 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: is on his fourth team in four years. Is he 745 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 1: the right pickup he's gonna it's certainly an interesting one. 746 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 1: I just not He's not the player that I want. 747 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: If I'm trying to win a championship, if I'm trying 748 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: to entertain the crowd for an entire season. He's great. 749 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a triple double every night, play 750 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: hard every night. I just don't know if if his 751 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: style equates to winning basketball, winning championships. Jack and North Carolina, 752 00:42:51,960 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: Hey Jack, what's on your mind? DZ? Hey Jack?
