1:53
Speaker 1: So there was no NBA Finals game, and initially I
1:57
Speaker 1: was I was slightly concerned. I said, oh my, we
2:00
Speaker 1: don't really we don't talk much golf around these parts,
2:02
Speaker 1: and I know the US Open outside Pittsburgh was played,
2:05
Speaker 1: and not really much of a talker, so I was like,
2:08
Speaker 1: oh man, there's no NBA game. I was like, yes,
2:10
Speaker 1: we'll talk some baseball. And then I was like, well,
2:12
Speaker 1: I was at a baseball game. More on that in
2:13
Speaker 1: a minute. And then like all these big trades happen.
2:16
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that's great. So roughly thirty minutes
2:22
Speaker 1: prior to the Doyers and the Giants game, a game
2:26
Speaker 1: that I was at, I started getting all these text
2:29
Speaker 1: messages from random, random people. I said, we who's bothering me?
2:33
Speaker 1: It's it's a Sunday, Sunday night, you know, shows not
2:37
Speaker 1: till later, like you know what's going on. And so
2:42
Speaker 1: I was. I was in a social situation. I was
2:44
Speaker 1: trying to be polite. I mean, I learned my manners
2:46
Speaker 1: back in the day, and I was supposed to be
2:48
Speaker 1: on your phone the whole time when you're you're at
2:50
Speaker 1: a meal. So I was like, all right, I'm not
2:52
Speaker 1: going to look at my phone and anykay, I kept
2:54
Speaker 1: getting these buzzes like that, huh man, something big must happen.
2:58
Speaker 1: Last time I got something like this was like the
3:00
Speaker 1: Luca like somebody died or somebody got traded. Last time
3:05
Speaker 1: I got a lot of messages like this, it was
3:07
Speaker 1: the Luca trade. So I was like, oh man. So
3:09
Speaker 1: I was annoyed at first, and I was like, who's
3:11
Speaker 1: bothering me? And I'm trying to be polite and all
3:13
Speaker 1: this stuff and okay, rare in appropriate night of the ballpark,
3:17
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, da, I opened the
3:20
Speaker 1: phone off. I said, whoa, wow oh man, wowie, because
3:24
Speaker 1: howie I can't but I was like, whoa, you know,
3:26
Speaker 1: I get excited and uh Yeah, as as much as
3:30
Speaker 1: you can possibly get excited as a middle aged person
3:32
Speaker 1: about a trade. But I was. I was intrigued by this.
3:35
Speaker 1: This This got some juice. It's got some juice. So
3:38
Speaker 1: if you have not heard by now, I assume you have.
3:41
Speaker 1: Everyone's already yapping about this, But maybe you were actually
3:44
Speaker 1: enjoying the weekend, did some Father's Day stuff, whatever that
3:48
Speaker 1: might be, and then you were kind of unplucked. So
3:52
Speaker 1: the trade, we learned that the Boston Red Sox have
3:56
Speaker 1: traded the face of the franchise. They have said bye
4:00
Speaker 1: bye to Rafael Devers, fat ass, and they have sent
4:04
Speaker 1: him to San Francisco in a mega, mega, mega trade. Yes,
4:10
Speaker 1: the Giants sent back inbound to Boston. They sent right
4:15
Speaker 1: handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, left hander Kyle Harrison. You're getting
4:19
Speaker 1: a little excited. Uh, Also outfield prospect James Tibbs the
4:25
Speaker 1: third sounds like a caller we used to have that
4:28
Speaker 1: called the show, and a minor league right hander who
4:32
Speaker 1: we've never heard of. And in return, the Giants pick
4:35
Speaker 1: up a twenty eight year old malcontent designated hitter. And
4:42
Speaker 1: the Giants are now two games back of the Doyers
4:46
Speaker 1: in the NLS standings. They lost five to four at
4:51
Speaker 1: Chavez Ravine on a toasty warm Sunday there and Devers
4:57
Speaker 1: having a pretty good sea Offensively, you just look at
5:01
Speaker 1: the numbers and not look at the context of those numbers.
5:03
Speaker 1: Dever hitting two seventy two, fifteen home runs fifty eight
5:07
Speaker 1: runs batted in in seventy three games. He also hit
5:10
Speaker 1: a solo dinger, and the Red Sox swept the Yankees
5:15
Speaker 1: at fit Way and then the ultimate f you to Devers.
5:19
Speaker 1: We just swept the Yankees with you. We think you
5:23
Speaker 1: sucked though, so we're trading you, is what they did,
5:26
Speaker 1: and they traded in. The trade was announced long enough
5:29
Speaker 1: after the game where they didn't have to answer any
5:31
Speaker 1: questions about it. The trade was leaked to the usual
5:35
Speaker 1: baseball scribes that are on the inner circle. That trade
5:39
Speaker 1: was leaked late in the day. Therefore, there was no way,
5:43
Speaker 1: no way to get any immediate reaction. So let us
5:46
Speaker 1: discuss the question, how do you grade the mega trade
5:51
Speaker 1: in baseball? The Red Sox sending rafie El Devers to
5:55
Speaker 1: the Giants for a gaggle of mostly pitchers. On the script,
6:00
Speaker 1: pitchers and one position player. So I've got my thoughts
6:05
Speaker 1: on this. I've got van slike airlines and nineteen sixties pop,
6:11
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
6:14
Speaker 1: we are going to make garlic fries. My advice to
6:16
Speaker 1: my friends in the Bay Area is keep Rafael Devers
6:20
Speaker 1: away from the garlic fries. Okay, he's going to enjoy them.
6:23
Speaker 1: They're delicious and they're very bad for you. So evenything moderation,
6:27
Speaker 1: So be careful now. Ay, there are no real winners
6:31
Speaker 1: in this. There are or losers for that matter. The
6:36
Speaker 1: Malord report card on this after a minutes long analysis
6:41
Speaker 1: and deliberation of the trade, the Red Sox get the D.
6:46
Speaker 1: They get the D on the Mallard report card. The Giants,
6:48
Speaker 1: I'm not giving them an A for this. They got
6:50
Speaker 1: the player that we know is good somewhat, but I'm
6:55
Speaker 1: giving them a B. So I'm gonna start with Boston,
6:58
Speaker 1: the better story in the losing locker room. We're going
6:59
Speaker 1: to start with Boston. And the argument is, well, they're
7:03
Speaker 1: allergic to keeping homegrown players. Here's a homegrown player and
7:08
Speaker 1: he's the latest to go, just like Mookie Betts. They
7:11
Speaker 1: traded him. Xander Bogarts went to the Padres So like
7:14
Speaker 1: all these guys end up in the Nation League West,
7:16
Speaker 1: like all the old Red Sox are now in the
7:18
Speaker 1: Nation League West. And it's to me the interesting part
7:22
Speaker 1: is the confession. We had thought this was a possibility
7:26
Speaker 1: when Devers refused to change positions and the owner of
7:31
Speaker 1: the team, the Aristocrat owner John Henry, had to fly
7:35
Speaker 1: out to Kansas City, where the Red Sox were playing
7:37
Speaker 1: the Royals, to have a powwow with the player. That
7:41
Speaker 1: was a dad giveaway things were not going well. That
7:44
Speaker 1: is not normal protocol for the owner of the team
7:48
Speaker 1: to travel to have a meeting with the star player
7:52
Speaker 1: because the star players is not following the plan there.
7:57
Speaker 1: And so you had that. But it's a confession, and
8:00
Speaker 1: they bet on the wrong horse. The Red Sox thought
8:03
Speaker 1: that Devers would be different, apparently, and he was supposed
8:07
Speaker 1: to be the cornerstone player and middle of the order bat,
8:11
Speaker 1: homegrown guy, all those things, right, the guy they chose
8:14
Speaker 1: to build around. They didn't want to keep Mookie Bats,
8:17
Speaker 1: they didn't want to keep Xander Balguart's. This was the
8:19
Speaker 1: guy they wanted to Boston and now they have kicked
8:23
Speaker 1: him out. Send him over to the Logan Airport, get
8:26
Speaker 1: the hell out of here, You're done, goodbye. And they thought,
8:30
Speaker 1: well we can build around mat. I can't build around him.
8:32
Speaker 1: And that is your lefty bat with pop you fit.
8:35
Speaker 1: You know, the guy that you know is now I
8:38
Speaker 1: guess shipped off like you're returning something from you bought
8:41
Speaker 1: on Amazon. You send it there and it ends up
8:43
Speaker 1: in a bin somewhere and then that's it. But the
8:47
Speaker 1: refusal to be flexible and the lack of hustle, that's
8:52
Speaker 1: the double whammie. It's like, well I'm not willing to
8:56
Speaker 1: work with you, and I'm not going to hustle. Okay.
9:01
Speaker 1: Not a team guy, a selfish tool bag would be
9:04
Speaker 1: Rafaeld Devers. He he did write his ticket out of
9:08
Speaker 1: finn right now. The issue is the Red Sox because
9:11
Speaker 1: of his value being so low, because he's got a
9:13
Speaker 1: big contract. He's not a team guy. He doesn't hustle.
9:18
Speaker 1: That's the Red Sox couldn't get much for him. Like
9:20
Speaker 1: they got a couple of arms and it's really just
9:24
Speaker 1: some mystery boxes. What's in the box. It's a mystery box.
9:28
Speaker 1: Like this guy, Jordan Hicks has been an enigma. Remember
9:30
Speaker 1: when he came up. I believe it was the Cardinals,
9:33
Speaker 1: and he was throwing like one hundred miles an hour.
9:35
Speaker 1: Everyone got all horny, Oh man, this guy's great, and
9:38
Speaker 1: if only we can get that under control and teach
9:41
Speaker 1: him another pitch. And here we are. It's probably been five, six,
9:44
Speaker 1: seven years something like that, and Jordan Hicks is still
9:47
Speaker 1: bouncing around Major League Baseball and he still throws hard,
9:51
Speaker 1: and he's got an ERA of six and a half.
9:53
Speaker 1: He sucks, okay, so you got him. You know, he's
9:57
Speaker 1: been nothing but a tease. Kyle Harrison is at this point,
10:01
Speaker 1: until proven OTHERWI is just a generic. He's a young guy.
10:06
Speaker 1: I think he's early twice, but he's not established, and
10:09
Speaker 1: he's not projected to be any more than a middle
10:11
Speaker 1: of the rotation starting pitcher. And he's got numbers that
10:16
Speaker 1: aren't all that impressive, pitching in a pitcher's ballpark in
10:19
Speaker 1: San Francisco. And then they got an outfielder who's patting
10:21
Speaker 1: two forty five for Eugene, which I am told is
10:25
Speaker 1: a ball that's pretty far away from the major leagues.
10:29
Speaker 1: And then they got a pitcher who this rookie, rookie
10:32
Speaker 1: ball pitcher. They got a picture and rookie ball, which
10:35
Speaker 1: is at least thirteenth grade, I believe. Okay, So the
10:39
Speaker 1: only reason the Red Sox don't get an F on this,
10:42
Speaker 1: they get a D, not an F because that's not
10:44
Speaker 1: very good return on investment, is because your addition by
10:47
Speaker 1: subtraction a Deva's bad attitude. And they got all these
10:51
Speaker 1: the next wave of young players. They're worried that Deva
10:54
Speaker 1: is going to have his bad habits are going to
10:56
Speaker 1: rub off on these other guys that are the next
10:58
Speaker 1: wave there and hear things right, Yeah, there's people that
11:01
Speaker 1: chirp around baseball by the whispers that you know, Devers
11:06
Speaker 1: is not a good leader. He's immature, He obviously doesn't
11:09
Speaker 1: take his conditioning very seriously, all that stuff, and then
11:13
Speaker 1: not willing to change positions, and just coming across as
11:16
Speaker 1: a complete diva. Who wants that? Does anyone want that?
11:22
Speaker 1: Does it know? He shows up to spring training looking
11:26
Speaker 1: like he's really run up the Uber Eats account when
11:30
Speaker 1: he gets to know the off season there and three
11:34
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Inflexible, inflexible and refusing to help the
11:38
Speaker 1: team out. And it reminds me of one of the
11:40
Speaker 1: great quotes of all time in my life from a
11:43
Speaker 1: player You probably don't remember unless you're old. There was
11:47
Speaker 1: a guy that played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the
11:50
Speaker 1: Cardinals named Andy vansl like his kid also played in
11:52
Speaker 1: the Major League. But Andy Manslke had one of the
11:54
Speaker 1: great quotes when he was in Pittsburgh and he was
11:58
Speaker 1: talking about Barry Bonds. Bonds went out to the Giants,
12:02
Speaker 1: of course in that era, and Van Slyke said, I'd
12:06
Speaker 1: rather lose without him, meaning Bonds, than win with him.
12:10
Speaker 1: And that appears to be the mindset of the Red Sox.
12:12
Speaker 1: Like they just got some slop, they got some Ramen noodles,
12:17
Speaker 1: they got the Marcel diet, Marcel from Brooklyn Diet for
12:20
Speaker 1: Rafael Devers. But you have to believe that they were
12:23
Speaker 1: shopping Devers to every team in baseball and this is
12:27
Speaker 1: what they got in return. Now, Paige Triot, does Rafael
12:31
Speaker 1: Devers go out and push the Giants into the upper crust?
12:35
Speaker 1: Are they now a legitimate threat in the National League
12:38
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers and the Mets and those type of teams.
12:41
Speaker 1: They guys have a good record. I have to have
12:43
Speaker 1: a good record. And so now they've added a player
12:48
Speaker 1: that we've heard of. So the way I approach this,
12:51
Speaker 1: it helps close the gap, but only by a few millimeters.
12:55
Speaker 1: The gap is closed by a few millimeters here on
12:58
Speaker 1: this And this is a major shot in the arm
13:00
Speaker 1: though for that team, because it is a team that
13:04
Speaker 1: is a lot of flotsam and jetsam. And it is
13:07
Speaker 1: also a reminder that one man's junk is another man's treasure,
13:10
Speaker 1: like the Red Sox just gave Devers away pretty much.
13:13
Speaker 1: And the Giants are all excited and all that, and
13:16
Speaker 1: the Giants, Sara Zos has got a good team, and
13:20
Speaker 1: I like the fact that Buster Posey the mindset seems
13:24
Speaker 1: to be in the right place. Maybe that's just my
13:26
Speaker 1: interpretation of it. And I certainly don't like the Giants.
13:29
Speaker 1: I like the Dodgers, but that's a motley crew. They
13:32
Speaker 1: have a motley crew of a roster. And I was
13:36
Speaker 1: at the game sitting with a couple of pep and
13:37
Speaker 1: these guys are two of the guys I was with
13:39
Speaker 1: from New York and they're I don't know any one
13:41
Speaker 1: of the Giants, and then we're going through the line
13:44
Speaker 1: and I don't know that guy. That guy. I mean,
13:46
Speaker 1: they're a nameless team. They are a faceless, nameless team.
13:49
Speaker 1: And now they have the center of the wagon wheel.
13:53
Speaker 1: You got to have that middle of the wagon wheel.
13:55
Speaker 1: So now they have that, and Devors, in theory is
13:59
Speaker 1: going to be that guy. And you know, so it's
14:02
Speaker 1: a good morale booster and all that three to zero
14:06
Speaker 1: three career hitter in playoff baseball for Devers, and so
14:11
Speaker 1: you figure he's going to hit on you know, looks
14:15
Speaker 1: can be seeing the Giants. I hope they paid the
14:19
Speaker 1: extra money to the airlines there, because when Devers arrives
14:24
Speaker 1: across country flight there to join the Giants, he's pretty
14:28
Speaker 1: sure he's he violates all of the baggage policies as
14:33
Speaker 1: far as excess weight in baggage. There's a lot of
14:36
Speaker 1: extra baggage that Dever springs all right now, final point
14:40
Speaker 1: and the last word on the Rafael Devers mega trade
14:45
Speaker 1: as he goes from the Red Sox to the Giants.
14:48
Speaker 1: So how will Rafael Devers handle the West Coast? Much
14:53
Speaker 1: is a different experience if you've traveled, if you've been
14:56
Speaker 1: around the United State, there's much different experience going from
14:59
Speaker 1: playing for professional sports in Boston to the West Coast
15:02
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. So it's going to be a bit
15:05
Speaker 1: of a culture shock. You know, different atmosphere all the
15:10
Speaker 1: way around there. Fenway Park loud, intense, it's a pinball machine.
15:14
Speaker 1: And you go out to San Francisco and it's like
15:17
Speaker 1: Oracle Park, I think it's what they still call it.
15:20
Speaker 1: Used to be packed belt Park and something else. But
15:22
Speaker 1: you go out there, majestic, beautiful views, right, I've been
15:25
Speaker 1: there a few times. McCovey cove, the bright blue sea
15:28
Speaker 1: out there. You get the city on one side. It's wonderful,
15:32
Speaker 1: but it's all about being like a nineteen sixties pop
15:38
Speaker 1: song from Donovan, Mellow Yellow. It's just mellow, laid back,
15:43
Speaker 1: you know. It's all that it's And so Devers will
15:47
Speaker 1: he flourish in that environment? Does it matter? Is he's
15:50
Speaker 1: going to really care? It's it's not a hitter's park.
15:53
Speaker 1: That's the big thing here. And if you look at
15:56
Speaker 1: the cops of players that have left the Red Sox
15:59
Speaker 1: and the numbers when they're Finway to Pennant, Raphaeld Devers
16:03
Speaker 1: across the board is a much better offensive player at
16:06
Speaker 1: Finway Park, the pinball machine than he is on the road.
16:10
Speaker 1: In fact, in his career at Oracle Park, he's in
16:13
Speaker 1: eighty three hitre he's only played a few games there,
16:15
Speaker 1: but he's hitting O eighty three small sample size devs
16:19
Speaker 1: again measuably worse. Then you got the contract. Now it's
16:22
Speaker 1: not my money. I don't have to pay the money,
16:24
Speaker 1: so I don't really worry about that. But from a
16:26
Speaker 1: contractual perspective, for the Giants, you've got a guy you've
16:29
Speaker 1: picked up who's got a bad attitude already, not a
16:32
Speaker 1: team guy, doesn't stay in shape, and here you're paying
16:37
Speaker 1: him the rest of his contract through twenty thirty three,
16:41
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirteen million dollars to a guy with
16:43
Speaker 1: a bad attitude. He's not a team guy, who's a
16:46
Speaker 1: selfish schmuck. So that's who you're paying. So you're betting
16:50
Speaker 1: that he doesn't matter, because baseball, you can be selfish
16:53
Speaker 1: and you'll still put up big numbers and all that.
16:55
Speaker 1: But it's like the old Niners coach Mike Singletary, and
16:58
Speaker 1: it's like you want you want winners. I want winners.
17:02
Speaker 1: I can't selfish players, cannot win with them, cannot right,
17:07
Speaker 1: cannot coach for the whole thing, that whole rant, cannot
17:11
Speaker 1: do it. I want winners. Go on and go on
17:14
Speaker 1: and on. I want people to want to win. They said, Well,
17:17
Speaker 1: Dever's won the World Series in twenty eighteen. Well the
17:20
Speaker 1: Red Socks we're cheating in twenty eighteen when they won
17:22
Speaker 1: the World Series. So there is that.

Speaker 1: play this our lead, this hours. We're back in the
18:43
Speaker 1: Catburg seat. From the business of sport, the business of basketball.
18:49
Speaker 1: If you will, big news out, big news, if you
18:52
Speaker 1: love financial transactions on some spreadsheets somewhere, Man was at
18:56
Speaker 1: a good day for you. God was at an exciting
18:58
Speaker 1: day for you. So if you have not heard yet,
19:01
Speaker 1: and perhaps not, we learned that the Bus family has
19:07
Speaker 1: decided to say bye bye to the Lakers. What kind
19:11
Speaker 1: of They will no longer control the majority ownership of
19:16
Speaker 1: the once proud, now floundering franchise that is the Lakers.
19:20
Speaker 1: As Mark Walter, the gazillionaire from Chicago who is the
19:26
Speaker 1: face of the gougenheind group that owns the Dodgers, he's
19:30
Speaker 1: buying it. He had a chance to buy. He owned
19:33
Speaker 1: part of the Lakers anyway. It's not like he's coming
19:34
Speaker 1: out of left field. Mark Walter owned a percentage of
19:38
Speaker 1: the Lakers, had the option of buying the rest of
19:41
Speaker 1: the team. I had heard it several years back that
19:43
Speaker 1: this was likely going to happen and it has happened.
19:47
Speaker 1: So Mark Walter is going to pay ten billion, ten billion,
19:54
Speaker 1: and it will be the largest sale when they cross all
19:57
Speaker 1: the t's and dotey isaik, what's a weakn on docu sign?
20:01
Speaker 1: But when they do the docu sign, it'll be the
20:03
Speaker 1: largest sale price for a US professional sports franchise of
20:07
Speaker 1: all time. The Bus family will keep a little bitty share,
20:11
Speaker 1: just a little bitty share of the team, just over
20:14
Speaker 1: fifteen percent. And Genie Buss, we are told, will continue
20:19
Speaker 1: as the face of the ownership group. They can't get
20:22
Speaker 1: rid of her. She's like a cockroach. She won't be
20:25
Speaker 1: Walter the face of the Dodgers ownership as we said there,
20:29
Speaker 1: and people just thinking he'll just spend endless amounts of
20:32
Speaker 1: money and it'll just be amazing and all that. So
20:35
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question, like the pending sale, will
20:40
Speaker 1: depending sale of the Lakers from the Bus family to
20:44
Speaker 1: the Mark Walter Guggenheim Group be a dramatic change, because
20:50
Speaker 1: all I've heard is all my god, happy days are
20:53
Speaker 1: here again. Happy days are here again. Mark Walter is
20:57
Speaker 1: the owner, So is it really gonna change? It's gonna
20:59
Speaker 1: be dramatic, So my thoughts to this. I've got goose
21:03
Speaker 1: fanatic and farmers market, and we will combine all of
21:07
Speaker 1: these things together and we're gonna put the biscuit in
21:10
Speaker 1: the basket. We'll take the biscuit and we'll put the
21:13
Speaker 1: biscuit in the basket, just like that. So to answer
21:15
Speaker 1: the question, will this pending sale lead to a dramatic
21:18
Speaker 1: change now that somebody actually has money the Googen Hind
21:21
Speaker 1: group will own the Lakers are supposed to gene Bus,
21:23
Speaker 1: The answer is no, it's not going to be a
21:27
Speaker 1: dramatic change. In fact, I would say nothing changes. Not
21:32
Speaker 1: a zip b o bupkus is going to change. And
21:35
Speaker 1: here's why, right, the Lakers are just going to continue
21:39
Speaker 1: strutting through the NBA like they own the joint because
21:41
Speaker 1: that's how they've always operated. And there are different rules
21:45
Speaker 1: in the NBA that baseball doesn't have in terms of
21:47
Speaker 1: how much money you can pay deferred money, and deferred
21:49
Speaker 1: money you can't push it back to lower your salary
21:52
Speaker 1: cap number to get under these aprons and all that
21:54
Speaker 1: bull crap. So it's not like the stuff the Dodgers
21:57
Speaker 1: have been able to get away with. The NBA's got
22:00
Speaker 1: clauses in there that you can't do that in the NBA,
22:04
Speaker 1: So all the tricks that the Dodgers have used doesn't work. Now,
22:07
Speaker 1: I don't know who the top NBA player in Japan is,
22:09
Speaker 1: but whoever that is, I expect you to end up
22:12
Speaker 1: on the on the Lakers, like immediately, like later on today,
22:16
Speaker 1: he'll end up on the Lakers. Consider how much money
22:18
Speaker 1: they've milked off Otani from from Japan. So the Lakers
22:23
Speaker 1: are at this point, they continue to be the golden
22:27
Speaker 1: goose the NBA. We are convinced rigged the Luka Donzig
22:32
Speaker 1: trade to send him to the Lakers. Let's make sure
22:35
Speaker 1: with TV ratings are down, the Lakers don't have a star,
22:37
Speaker 1: no one really, you know, Lebron's washed up nobody. Let's
22:40
Speaker 1: make sure we hook them up. So they did, and
22:43
Speaker 1: so how is that gonna change? So they have a
22:45
Speaker 1: new owner and Genie Boss is kind of kind of
22:48
Speaker 1: step aside. More than that in a second, but it's
22:52
Speaker 1: just gonna be more of the same special treatment. The
22:54
Speaker 1: Lakers have always gotten special treatment. And all that's different
22:58
Speaker 1: is Mark Walter is the one that's riding the check
23:01
Speaker 1: and the googenheind group and then that's it. The NBA
23:04
Speaker 1: has always bent over backwards my entire life for that
23:08
Speaker 1: pathetic purple and gold crap. It's been that way for
23:12
Speaker 1: decades and we're talking about multiple generations where it's been
23:15
Speaker 1: that way. And so you think Adam Silver is going
23:19
Speaker 1: to allow under his watch them to slide into irrelevance.
23:23
Speaker 1: Of course, they just went out and gave the Lakers Luca.
23:26
Speaker 1: Even though he's fat, they gave him Luca. They still
23:29
Speaker 1: hooked him up. Come on, so anyway, and the other
23:33
Speaker 1: thing two is the referees will continue to help the
23:35
Speaker 1: Lakers out. You know, those fifty to fifty calls will
23:38
Speaker 1: go the direction, they will go the direction of the Lakers,
23:42
Speaker 1: and the free agent market will still tilt to the
23:46
Speaker 1: Lakers and all that. And the players nobody's signing with
23:49
Speaker 1: the Lakers because in the Arder, if that was the case,
23:51
Speaker 1: no one would have played for the Lakers. And gee
23:53
Speaker 1: Bust didn't know what she was doing. And the Lakers
23:55
Speaker 1: continue to get pleasures. Do you think Lebron James when
23:59
Speaker 1: he went to the Lake because left Cleveland, you think
24:02
Speaker 1: Lebron said, I really want to play for one of
24:04
Speaker 1: Jerry Buss's kids. That's what I that's the owner. I
24:07
Speaker 1: want to play for no right, not at all. Lebron James,
24:11
Speaker 1: he came there because he wanted to make business deals
24:14
Speaker 1: with movie people and things, and he did. He's gotten
24:17
Speaker 1: all that. He made some cheeseball movies. His production company
24:20
Speaker 1: took off. You know. He has a stupid barber shop
24:23
Speaker 1: show like all that stuff. But it wasn't because of
24:25
Speaker 1: the Genie Bus. It was because of la right. So
24:29
Speaker 1: that's that's the way. Is not that it matters, by
24:31
Speaker 1: the way, but again it doesn't matter. I mean the
24:33
Speaker 1: players that flocked to the to the Lakers like a
24:36
Speaker 1: moth to a flame, and Mark Walter will spend money.
24:39
Speaker 1: There's a real salary cap although I'm a salarycap truth
24:43
Speaker 1: when it comes to the NFL.
24:45
Speaker 3: Uh.
24:45
Speaker 1: And if they're just willing to listen, the teams are
24:47
Speaker 1: if you have enough money, you can pay and who cares,
24:50
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter that much and you just pay
24:52
Speaker 1: all the money and and then the other teams can
24:55
Speaker 1: play and say it's not fair, and then you can't
24:56
Speaker 1: make certain trades and all that stuff. Now all the
25:00
Speaker 1: part of this. Can you explain why Genie Buss is
25:06
Speaker 1: selling the team but is demanding apparently to continue on
25:12
Speaker 1: in her role as the face of the Laker ownership
25:15
Speaker 1: group after the cell. Now, the NBA went woke years
25:18
Speaker 1: ago and they claim they don't have owners. They're so
25:21
Speaker 1: woke that they have governors, not owners. Every other sport
25:26
Speaker 1: has owners. NBA has got governors, which is lame. So
25:28
Speaker 1: we know realities will own a team and they're not governors.
25:33
Speaker 1: They not voted in anyway. So the point of this
25:37
Speaker 1: with Genie Buss is rather obvious that this woman is
25:42
Speaker 1: addicted to the spotlight. Right can we all agree on
25:45
Speaker 1: that that those court side seats and all the celebrities
25:49
Speaker 1: coming up and shaking her hand there the red carpet
25:51
Speaker 1: at the Hollywood premieres that she gets invited to, she
25:54
Speaker 1: loves it. She want to give that up. You don't
25:56
Speaker 1: get that if you're not the Lakers owner anymore, you
25:58
Speaker 1: don't you fade off into the sunset in irrelevance. You're
26:03
Speaker 1: just another rich person surrounded by other rich people. And
26:06
Speaker 1: so she can still play the part as the fall
26:09
Speaker 1: Laker royalty owner and all that. So she gets a
26:13
Speaker 1: But Genie Buss, think about what she's about to become.
26:16
Speaker 1: So the team's being sold to Mark Walter. She's going
26:18
Speaker 1: to continue going to the league meetings and all that stuff.
26:21
Speaker 1: She's about to become the Philly fanatic. She's going to
26:23
Speaker 1: be the mascot of the Lakers. She's like the San
26:26
Speaker 1: Diego chicken back chick out, the Laker mascot wearing a pantsuit,
26:32
Speaker 1: going to league meetings, you know, waving to the fans,
26:35
Speaker 1: high fans. Yeah, but Mark Walter is the one who
26:40
Speaker 1: will be deciding where the money goes and all that stuff.
26:44
Speaker 1: And it's a symbolic nod. They claim to the Bus
26:48
Speaker 1: family legacy and all that, but no titles with Genie
26:52
Speaker 1: Buss's owner. Nobody who knows ball will say that she
26:56
Speaker 1: wanted that Mickey Mouse bubble doesn't count in a result
27:00
Speaker 1: in Orlando back in twenty twenty. And my favorite Genie
27:04
Speaker 1: Bus story is when she well, the Phil Jackson thing
27:07
Speaker 1: is like next level. But also the Bus family revolt
27:11
Speaker 1: was that like twenty seventeen. I want to say, remember
27:15
Speaker 1: there was a revolt. The brothers the other kids got
27:17
Speaker 1: into a Jim and Johnny and they were all fighting.
27:21
Speaker 1: There was like a coup to get control of the Lakers.
27:24
Speaker 1: It was like some kind of mob movie or something
27:26
Speaker 1: like that, and then they worked it out. They massaged that,
27:29
Speaker 1: they got through that. She fired I think she fired
27:33
Speaker 1: the brother. I don't know how you do that because
27:36
Speaker 1: he owned part of the team. Also got rid of him.
27:39
Speaker 1: Can Mitch Cupjack he was out, brought in Magic Johnson
27:43
Speaker 1: that was a hot mess, and got rid of him.
27:45
Speaker 1: Then now they have this guy skinny jeans, Rob Polenka,
27:49
Speaker 1: who without NBA intervention would have already lost his job,
27:52
Speaker 1: but the league helped him out and got him some players.
27:54
Speaker 1: Otherwise he didn't know what he's doing. And there you go.
27:57
Speaker 1: So another case old family money, right, the Bus family.
28:01
Speaker 1: Jerry Buss bought the Lakers in nineteen seventy nine for
28:04
Speaker 1: less than I think it was. Was it like seventy
28:07
Speaker 1: million or something like that, nineteen seven nine, which is a
28:08
Speaker 1: lot of money nineteen seventy nine, but still real estate
28:11
Speaker 1: guy Jerry Buss, tremendous philanderer, unbelievable with the ladies, Jerry Buss,
28:16
Speaker 1: and so less than seventy million, and now the team's
28:20
Speaker 1: going to be sold for ten billion. I wonder what
28:23
Speaker 1: the capital gains tax on that is. That must be insane, right,
28:27
Speaker 1: you ten billion wonder what the capital gains to anyway. Regardless,
28:32
Speaker 1: So Genie Buss again will be the new Laker mascot. Congratulations,
28:36
Speaker 1: call them the buses and have her face on the uniforms.
28:40
Speaker 1: There a purely ceremonial role for sure. Now the last
28:44
Speaker 1: word here the question of why the Lakers sold for
28:50
Speaker 1: ten billion, and multiple people sending me messages, I don't
28:53
Speaker 1: understand why the Lakers are worth ten billion and the
28:55
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics sold just a few months ago for six
28:58
Speaker 1: point one billion. So why did the Lakers go for
29:03
Speaker 1: essentially four billion dollars more than the Boston Celtics. And
29:07
Speaker 1: so the whole valuation I Forbes every year in front
29:11
Speaker 1: off of sports and sport. It go all these business
29:13
Speaker 1: sites in sports, many of them have their evaluations they
29:17
Speaker 1: come out with every year about teams are worth X,
29:20
Speaker 1: Y and z, and it's it's obviously things are just sorry.
29:24
Speaker 1: I mean, because there's a lot of rich people who
29:26
Speaker 1: are a little skittish because they don't know the stock market.
29:29
Speaker 1: You know, you end up dropping bombs somewhere and the
29:32
Speaker 1: prices go down, or there's oil problems here and things
29:35
Speaker 1: get all messed up, and uh so they don't they
29:38
Speaker 1: look a gun shy on the on the stock market.
29:42
Speaker 1: So they're, oh, I can buy a team, and if
29:44
Speaker 1: I buy a team, I not only make money, but
29:46
Speaker 1: all the other people want to kiss my ass at
29:48
Speaker 1: the cocktail parties and the Hampton's or Beverly Hills or
29:51
Speaker 1: South Beach Man that's the lot. So they're willing to
29:54
Speaker 1: spend ridiculous amounts of money. And so it's like a
29:56
Speaker 1: farmer's market, right. It's farmers market here. And the Lakers
30:00
Speaker 1: operate in the second largest media market in the United
30:05
Speaker 1: States with over thirteen million, the Greater LA Area, the
30:09
Speaker 1: LA bas In southern California, La Base it's much bigger
30:11
Speaker 1: than that metro area. And then you got Boston right
30:14
Speaker 1: in Boston, major market, smaller metro population like the metro
30:20
Speaker 1: populations like five million or something like that. So it's
30:23
Speaker 1: like an eight million dollar difference. And despite the Celtics
30:27
Speaker 1: being much more successful than the Lakers, there's less of
30:31
Speaker 1: a market. So it's just a business deal. And the
30:32
Speaker 1: other thing, the biggest thing here is the arena. The
30:36
Speaker 1: Celtics do not own the garden that they play in,
30:40
Speaker 1: and it's it's a weird set up. The Lakers because
30:43
Speaker 1: the Anshootz group owns where what I used to call
30:47
Speaker 1: Staples Center now it's like the Crypt, I think is
30:50
Speaker 1: what they call now. They play at the Crypt, which
30:52
Speaker 1: is appropriate because the franchise is dead. So the Crypt
30:55
Speaker 1: is owned by the anshoots group, but it's like they
30:57
Speaker 1: own they actually own part of the Lakers also, so
30:59
Speaker 1: it's all tied together and all that, and so the
31:02
Speaker 1: Celtics do not own the arena, which is one of
31:05
Speaker 1: the reasons. The chatter is the Celtics will eventually leave
31:09
Speaker 1: likely downtown Boston where they play and go out to
31:11
Speaker 1: the suburbs somewhere and build a nice, big, shiny arena
31:15
Speaker 1: and that'll be that the Bruins. The guy that owns
31:18
Speaker 1: the Bruins actually owns the arena there for the Celtics
31:20
Speaker 1: in Boston.
31:21
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

32:11
Speaker 1: But okay, all right, I don't know what the guy.
32:13
Speaker 1: I don't know what questions they're asking. They just complain. Whatever.
32:17
Speaker 1: We're gonna start off with a question from Ferg Dog.
32:20
Speaker 1: Oh there you go. We've never heard from Ferg Dog.
32:22
Speaker 1: We don't.
32:23
Speaker 4: He wants to know. Are you able to watch an
32:25
Speaker 4: entire movie without checking your phone?
32:30
Speaker 1: Yeah? You know I can do that. I mean, if
32:32
Speaker 1: it's a good movie, the movie sucks, I'm going on
32:33
Speaker 1: my phone. I will absolutely go to my phone. But
32:36
Speaker 1: if I'm engaged in the movie, yeah, like old school movies,
32:40
Speaker 1: I don't really nothing these days. I get my attention
32:44
Speaker 1: that one. What about you, Lorena?
32:45
Speaker 5: Movie theaters?
32:46
Speaker 6: No in my house, yes, especially if there's a dull moment,
32:51
Speaker 6: keep my attention.
32:52
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, so you mean yes and no if
32:55
Speaker 1: you switch that around? So so id the movie theater?
32:58
Speaker 5: Not in the theater, you will not check your phone.
33:00
Speaker 6: But on a regular movie, Yeah.
33:03
Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I can.
33:05
Speaker 4: I can go a whole movie without checking my phone
33:07
Speaker 4: if I'm in the theater. But at home I'm picking
33:10
Speaker 4: up my phone.
33:11
Speaker 1: Well, my problem in theater is a boring movie. I
33:13
Speaker 1: fall asleep. I'm gone. It's a dark room, comfortable seat,
33:18
Speaker 1: air conditioned, I'm sleeping. All right, what's next? What are
33:21
Speaker 1: we ever to ask?
33:21
Speaker 2: Man?
33:21
Speaker 1: Your questions are answers Bobby and Florida. Hi, Bobby, you'd
33:25
Speaker 1: like to know now that summer heat is here? Yeah?
33:27
Speaker 1: Would you rather cool off in the ocean, a lake
33:30
Speaker 1: or a pool? Yeah? So, I'm a big pool guy.
33:35
Speaker 1: There's not really a lake that I go to. I've
33:37
Speaker 1: only been to a lake a few times. Ocean's okay.
33:42
Speaker 1: I don't really like the ocean around here because it's polluted,
33:44
Speaker 1: So I guess I'll go pool Lorena.
33:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, any of those, as long as it's not a river.
33:48
Speaker 5: I don't like super fast running water like that. Not
33:51
Speaker 5: a strong, strunk swimmer.
33:52
Speaker 1: No, did you have a lake in Oregon when you
33:54
Speaker 1: were growing up.
33:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had a couple of them, but you weren't
33:57
Speaker 6: supposed to swim in them. One of them had a
33:59
Speaker 6: really high merree content.
34:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, lakes are kind of disgusting.
34:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're sitting water.
34:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotcha cool. I'll be totally honest.
34:08
Speaker 4: I'm not a fan of like any of them, but
34:10
Speaker 4: I would pick Pool over with the other two.
34:13
Speaker 5: More of an air conditioner type of guy.
34:14
Speaker 1: Huh Yeah, nice tropical. I got a nice exotic luxury
34:17
Speaker 1: pool though, with fountains. Yeah, that's nice resort. Yeah, so
34:22
Speaker 1: way to go. I walk around the beaches here and
34:26
