Transcript
- 0:22Speaker 1: Sports Radio ninety two seven five a hour of the
- 0:25Speaker 1: week Baby, getting ready for a weekend. I'm looking forward
- 0:29Speaker 1: to watching some World Cup this weekend and reading up
- 0:33Speaker 1: on any possible Hornets scuttle butt. I want to see
- 0:37Speaker 1: what the next move is after the Lamello trade. Big
- 0:40Speaker 1: matches today, Bone, very I think very entertaining matches, potentially
- 0:44Speaker 1: Norway and France. I've been looking forward to that, even
- 0:48Speaker 1: though Holland himself said we probably won't beat him and
- 0:51Speaker 1: they'll probably win the whole thing anyway, so I'm not
- 0:52Speaker 1: really worried about it. Even though Holland said that that's
- 0:55Speaker 1: a sexy matchup.
- 0:56Speaker 2: I find a circle game for me because a lot
- 0:58Speaker 2: of these group stage matchups they're not the sexiest of matchops.
- 1:02Speaker 2: But this is one I noticed right away. This is
- 1:04Speaker 2: a much get two big stars there. I would think.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Soccer bones eyeing this one up.
- 1:08Speaker 1: I would think France is a good bit better than
- 1:10Speaker 1: Norway as a team, but you got two stars there
- 1:12Speaker 1: in that one, and the group is on the line.
- 1:14Speaker 1: And then Spain Uruguay I'm very much looking forward to
- 1:17Speaker 1: seeing as well. So we got some good ones today
- 1:20Speaker 1: and then by Sunday, Bone there's only one game Sunday,
- 1:22Speaker 1: but the not Got Round starts on Sunday, so we're
- 1:25Speaker 1: about ready to get down to business with the world.
- 1:28Speaker 2: I'm ready to see the full bracket because it does
- 1:31Speaker 2: get a little confusing with some of the wording of
- 1:33Speaker 2: this team will play the third place team here over here.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I'm ready to see the bracket the thirty two team
- 1:39Speaker 2: March madness like bracketed full here.
- 1:41Speaker 1: But tomorrow night you will have it. You will have
- 1:43Speaker 1: it to do an office pool for this thing or what?
- 1:45Speaker 3: Yeah, work on that for me.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Please, let's uh real quick, because I want to talk
- 1:49Speaker 1: about the LaMelo trade. How does it compare to the
- 1:52Speaker 1: surprise that you felt when other trades happened or other
- 1:58Speaker 1: you know, acquisitions or what ever? Is this the most
- 2:01Speaker 1: surprised that you have been as a Charlotte sports fan
- 2:04Speaker 1: about a trade. I do want to talk about that,
- 2:06Speaker 1: and then bone I have enlisted a fellow Hornets fan
- 2:12Speaker 1: to try to pump everybody up and get their spears.
- 2:15Speaker 4: MFG.
- 2:17Speaker 1: I wish, I wish we could get MFG on here, baby,
- 2:19Speaker 1: break out the Ouiji board. Let's get the ghost Sirloin
- 2:22Speaker 1: of Beef would like to address Hornet's nation, and I
- 2:25Speaker 1: guarantee you everybody will feel better about this trade once
- 2:28Speaker 1: he gets done.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Oh man, all right, I could see MFG not knowing
- 2:32Speaker 2: how to say, nas, we got the baby.
- 2:38Speaker 1: So anyway, Sir Lloyd coming up in a little bit
- 2:42Speaker 1: in an attempt to he says the vibes are too low.
- 2:45Speaker 1: He wants to pump everybody up and for people to
- 2:47Speaker 1: have questions about how the trade exception works. We've got
- 2:53Speaker 1: the largest trade exception from this LaMelo deal in league history,
- 2:56Speaker 1: forty point seven million dollars. The basics of it are,
- 2:59Speaker 1: you can take on, you know a difference in salaries
- 3:02Speaker 1: in trade, you can bring in you know, a ton
- 3:05Speaker 1: more salary bone, then you give up in a trade
- 3:09Speaker 1: and you basically it doesn't kind of geinst your cap.
- 3:13Speaker 1: But there's some ins and outs of it. And at
- 3:16Speaker 1: nine to twenty five, Keith Smith is all over this.
- 3:18Speaker 1: He was tweeting about yesterday about why Jalen Brown you
- 3:22Speaker 1: can't really use the exception. So all the trade exception questions.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Keith Smith, NBA writer joining us at nine twenty five,
- 3:29Speaker 1: said we need a basketball nerd in the best way possible,
- 3:33Speaker 1: and we found one.
- 3:33Speaker 3: There you go, baby, There you go.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Also this hour, we are giving away family four pack
- 3:38Speaker 1: of tickets to Monster Jam. They are at the Spectrum
- 3:42Speaker 1: Center on July eighteenth and nineteenth. Become a fan for
- 3:45Speaker 1: life with an ultimate day of family fund. You listen
- 3:49Speaker 1: to those to the roar of the Monster Jam vehicles, Bone,
- 3:53Speaker 1: you will have an absolute blast. And it's a family
- 3:56Speaker 1: fourth pack. They're at Spectrum Center July eighteenth and nineteenth.
- 4:00Speaker 1: We will play the Monster Jam roar for you, and
- 4:03Speaker 1: when we do it a little later this hour, you
- 4:07Speaker 1: will text the word mayhem, but not until then, not
- 4:09Speaker 1: until we do it, but you'll text the word mayhem
- 4:11Speaker 1: and we will choose a winner. Do you think is
- 4:14Speaker 1: this the most shocked you've ever been about a Charlotte
- 4:16Speaker 1: sports trade? Bone, Well, trade is one thing.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I'm going to go the transaction route here if you
- 4:22Speaker 2: don't mind, because a couple come to mind in our time.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Smitty getting released on that day was certainly shocking and
- 4:29Speaker 2: how the whole thing developed, But I think one of
- 4:31Speaker 2: the most shocking ones ever was on a Wednesday night,
- 4:34Speaker 2: right before we went the trivia night, and we found
- 4:37Speaker 2: out that Josh Norman had the tag rescinded. Yeah, and
- 4:41Speaker 2: then you reacted in a way where you laid down
- 4:43Speaker 2: behind my car afterwards, So that was one let.
- 4:47Speaker 3: You drive off.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I don't think we ever in a million years after
- 4:49Speaker 2: what we just saw him perform, like the year before,
- 4:52Speaker 2: ever thought that was going to happen.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Right, No, it's because you've already tagged him, you know
- 4:56Speaker 1: what I mean, you'd already made your intentions that you're
- 4:59Speaker 1: going to tag him, and then big old Gentleman didn't
- 5:02Speaker 1: like the way the negotiations are going and basically said
- 5:05Speaker 1: the hell with you?
- 5:05Speaker 3: Then Smitty, Yeah, I was pretty shocked.
- 5:08Speaker 2: We weren't here for Zoe. People would have to tell
- 5:10Speaker 2: us about that part of it. I mean, Larry Johnson
- 5:14Speaker 2: was a free agent that left for the Knicks. Right
- 5:16Speaker 2: was he a free agent? I went for the next Oh,
- 5:17Speaker 2: I thought lj or did he get traded? Get traded?
- 5:20Speaker 5: Right?
- 5:20Speaker 3: Was he traded? Okay, I forget how it went down.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I thought I thought they were both traded, because isn't
- 5:25Speaker 1: that part of what Hornets fans pain was yesterday is
- 5:28Speaker 1: that they have watched You know, if you're a longtime
- 5:31Speaker 1: Hornets fan, you have watched guys get traded, stars get traded. Hell,
- 5:35Speaker 1: the Panther fans have watched stars get traded. Yeah, McCaffrey
- 5:38Speaker 1: and Burns. He was deal for the aforementioned Anthony Mason. Yeah,
- 5:43Speaker 1: there you go.
- 5:44Speaker 3: But I thought I thought, for some reason, I thought
- 5:46Speaker 3: he was a free agent.
- 5:47Speaker 6: Then.
- 5:48Speaker 3: I don't know why.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I I thought I got root for both franchises. I
- 5:52Speaker 2: will forgive you Bone. Is it more shocking that Smitty
- 5:57Speaker 2: got released or Lamello got trade?
- 6:02Speaker 1: That's close. I mean, I have to tell you right now.
- 6:04Speaker 1: The LaMelo thing just blew my mind when Twin Sham
- 6:08Speaker 1: said that, it blew my mind.
- 6:10Speaker 3: Now, if this, if this happened Bone.
- 6:12Speaker 1: A year earlier or two years earlier, I don't think
- 6:15Speaker 1: it would have surprised anybody. I think it's the fact
- 6:18Speaker 1: that we haven't heard a pete bone about the Hornets
- 6:22Speaker 1: wanting to trade Lamello, and he had a healthy season,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and he had such a freaking good, mature season, the
- 6:29Speaker 1: way he played and the way the team played. I
- 6:33Speaker 1: just I don't think any of us saw it coming
- 6:35Speaker 1: at all. But if it happened the year before, two
- 6:38Speaker 1: years ago, I think everybody would have it would have
- 6:40Speaker 1: shocked anybody. I think that's what the shock was Smitty
- 6:44Speaker 1: getting released Man Gettleman really made some shockers, didn't he.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Getleman didn't give a damn dude, He did not give
- 6:51Speaker 1: a damn Like I feel like Getleman brought a little
- 6:55Speaker 1: too much ego to the GM was saying CMC.
- 6:58Speaker 3: But we could all kind of see where I don't
- 7:00Speaker 3: think that was that shock.
- 7:02Speaker 2: We kind of knew that in that time period that
- 7:04Speaker 2: anything was possible for those guys. But Andrew Andrew Norwell's
- 7:07Speaker 2: agent map brings up maybe the best answer of all.
- 7:10Speaker 2: The most shocking transactional moment ever may have been January
- 7:15Speaker 2: of twenty twenty. We're sitting there, minding our own business
- 7:19Speaker 2: in our lives, and the news comes down that Luke
- 7:21Speaker 2: Keikleer retires.
- 7:23Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 7:24Speaker 2: To me, it's not a trade, it's not a waving
- 7:27Speaker 2: or anything like that, but just pure out of nowhere,
- 7:31Speaker 2: Oh my god, one of the best players in football
- 7:34Speaker 2: in franchise history of Hall of Famer just said goodbye.
- 7:37Speaker 2: We had no inkling.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Of that coming up after just eight years, you know,
- 7:41Speaker 1: and I mean we understood it with what he's been through,
- 7:43Speaker 1: but we were not thinking, oh, we're not going to
- 7:45Speaker 1: have Luke Keigley ever again, he just played his eighth year.
- 7:49Speaker 3: That's a good Yeah. You could take it.
- 7:50Speaker 1: To almost like what is the most shocking Charlotte Sports
- 7:53Speaker 1: News That like when you heard it on FNZ or
- 7:56Speaker 1: when you read the headline or whatever it might be,
- 7:58Speaker 1: like when you first heard about it, what shocks you
- 8:01Speaker 1: the most. I don't think Burns trade. Burns Trade was
- 8:04Speaker 1: more like McCaffrey right. There had been talk about it beforehand.
- 8:07Speaker 1: We were in a rebuild mode. We were so bad
- 8:09Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, so I don't think those shocked us.
- 8:13Speaker 1: But the timing of this LaMelo thing, but again, I'm
- 8:16Speaker 1: sure that's what they were thinking, is, hey, this might
- 8:20Speaker 1: be our chance to get, you know, the best value
- 8:22Speaker 1: we can get for love.
- 8:23Speaker 3: You always love this tax.
- 8:24Speaker 2: That seven oh four number says when Kobe left the Hornets.
- 8:29Speaker 1: After three minutes, after three minutes of being on the
- 8:32Speaker 1: Hornets seven four five, seven oh nine, six ten, If
- 8:37Speaker 1: y'all want to jump in here, Aggie Pride says, Hornets
- 8:41Speaker 1: leaving town.
- 8:41Speaker 3: I didn't live here then.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I mean, that's quite a move though, But I guess
- 8:46Speaker 1: I guess you're talking about when it fors like, because
- 8:49Speaker 1: didn't they I mean, obviously they knew they were lame
- 8:51Speaker 1: duck for a while, right, That's why the attendance dropped
- 8:54Speaker 1: off and Shin became public enemy number one. But I
- 8:58Speaker 1: guess when you a officially or when you first heard
- 9:01Speaker 1: that it could happen, maybe, but it feels like you
- 9:05Speaker 1: were bracing for that.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Detector says when Frank Gray got fired as quick as
- 9:09Speaker 2: he did was pretty jogging. The fact that not it
- 9:11Speaker 2: wasn't going well, but that, I mean, he just got higher.
- 9:14Speaker 2: We had the whole all star coaching staff lined up
- 9:17Speaker 2: and he didn't what he lost in November?
- 9:19Speaker 3: Right? Is that it ro no November? Yeah? Whatever that was,
- 9:22Speaker 3: I forget games. I mean, I guess that's always surprising.
- 9:29Speaker 1: But it was David Tepper and it wasn't the new
- 9:31Speaker 1: Tap two point oh that we love so much, right,
- 9:34Speaker 1: it was step one point zero. Uh, Ray Caruth is
- 9:39Speaker 1: being given a lot And I wasn't here at the time,
- 9:41Speaker 1: but I can only imagine, I mean that that takes
- 9:43Speaker 1: it to another We were kind of just talking almost
- 9:45Speaker 1: about sports news, you know, sports stuff. But if you
- 9:48Speaker 1: just talk about news involving a sports figure. While a
- 9:50Speaker 1: lot of Bobby Phil's coming up to Jobby Fields too,
- 9:53Speaker 1: I'll never forget uh, Sandy Penner, who we used to
- 9:55Speaker 1: work with Bone back on the Penner and Max Show
- 9:57Speaker 1: way back in the day. But like I've known for
- 10:00Speaker 1: a long time, but I'll never forget him talking about
- 10:02Speaker 1: being on the air, because that was like around midday, right,
- 10:05Speaker 1: it was after practice, right, yeah, and those guys were
- 10:09Speaker 1: racing after practice, and like he was on the air
- 10:12Speaker 1: getting this Nie.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I remember, I can't even imagine being on the air.
- 10:15Speaker 2: I remember where I was when I heard about it.
- 10:17Speaker 2: I thought it was announced later on, like early evening
- 10:20Speaker 2: that he died. I do remember where I was, even
- 10:22Speaker 2: as a young kid when that happened.
- 10:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I I can't imagine being on the
- 10:28Speaker 1: air and one of your pro sports athletes dies in
- 10:33Speaker 1: that fashion when they're that damn young, and you have
- 10:36Speaker 1: to tell everybody about it, hold it together like that's
- 10:38Speaker 1: just I can't imagine that. I mean, yeah, Charlotte, Charlotte
- 10:43Speaker 1: has some dark stuff. I feel like lately, Bone, the
- 10:46Speaker 1: dark stuff has just well, not this past year, but
- 10:49Speaker 1: before this past year, I feel like the dark stuff
- 10:51Speaker 1: has just been on the field the court and sends.
- 10:53Speaker 3: A lot better, Yeah, a lot better.
- 10:55Speaker 2: We can get to the Cliff says the one time
- 10:57Speaker 2: that David Temper brought music to Charlotte for the first time.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we'd never heard before. Like, what's this? What
- 11:02Speaker 3: is this amazing? Ear Candy? We didn't know this, We
- 11:05Speaker 3: didn't know you could perform live.
- 11:06Speaker 2: I remember saying, Hey, Paul, what are they doing? They're
- 11:09Speaker 2: singing Son Ryan from Huntersville. We're talking about most shocking
- 11:13Speaker 2: sports news that you remember in Charlotte when you heard it,
- 11:17Speaker 2: Like when we heard that LaMelo could be traded, and
- 11:21Speaker 2: somebody brings up Ryan in Huntersville brings up Dale Earnhardt.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I remember.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I was in Jacksonville at the time, so obviously we're
- 11:29Speaker 1: not too far away from Daytona. So that hit and
- 11:31Speaker 1: there's a ton of race fans in Jacksonville here, I know,
- 11:34Speaker 1: I know up in Cannapolis, I know in the Charlotte area.
- 11:37Speaker 1: My god, it it hit people hard as hell. He's
- 11:42Speaker 1: the type of athlete that you think is indestructible, you
- 11:46Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like, he is that sort of
- 11:49Speaker 1: dude that honestly, you think it can't possibly happened to him,
- 11:54Speaker 1: you know exactly, And my god, but the safety I
- 11:57Speaker 1: will say I mean again, it's not worth losing Dale for.
- 12:00Speaker 1: But my god, the way they wish they would have
- 12:02Speaker 1: took safety that seriously when they when we had Dale,
- 12:05Speaker 1: because my god, the improvements they made safety at night
- 12:07Speaker 1: and day after that.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Well, mac our H just brings up right now, Kyle
- 12:11Speaker 3: Busch this year.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Yeah, how did we forget? I mean if yeah, if
- 12:14Speaker 1: we're just talking now, we're just going completely. I think
- 12:16Speaker 1: we were shocking. We were going back in time.
- 12:19Speaker 2: I wasn't really thinking about the immediate but yeah, I
- 12:21Speaker 2: mean that that is as shocking as it gets.
- 12:23Speaker 3: I still can't believe it.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Samantha Bush has been pretty active lately on social media,
- 12:29Speaker 1: and it's just I have a hearts just breaks for
- 12:31Speaker 1: her Man and the kids.
- 12:32Speaker 3: I just she's being strong through it.
- 12:35Speaker 7: Man.
- 12:35Speaker 1: I mean, I still can't believe she went there to
- 12:37Speaker 1: the six hundred. And I love the way that they
- 12:41Speaker 1: handled that. NASCAR handles a lot of things wrong. I
- 12:44Speaker 1: love the way they handled that. But anyway, the whole
- 12:46Speaker 1: great answer to man.
- 12:47Speaker 2: The whole Jerry saga was pretty shocking itself, from the
- 12:50Speaker 2: NDA's and the reasoning, and then remember the day when
- 12:54Speaker 2: the whole the statues were coming down and they were
- 12:57Speaker 2: like Jerry was hanging half in the air, I said,
- 13:00Speaker 2: to an undisclosed place where he's we don't know what
- 13:03Speaker 2: he's doing. Now he's what he's what the old Hugo statues.
- 13:05Speaker 1: That is a great answer, though I remember where we
- 13:08Speaker 1: I don't remember who we were playing. I want to
- 13:11Speaker 1: say Saints, but I don't know if that's right.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Sounds about right.
- 13:13Speaker 1: We we we were in the press box getting ready
- 13:15Speaker 1: for a Panther game, and it's minutes before kickoff and
- 13:18Speaker 1: we get word that this s I piece is out
- 13:21Speaker 1: there about Jerry Richardson and these indiscretions in the workplace.
- 13:25Speaker 3: And I mean bone, we are that whole press box.
- 13:28Speaker 1: I don't know how many plays we actually saw of
- 13:31Speaker 1: that first quarter because it was just we're all reading this.
- 13:34Speaker 2: It's a long form piece. I think it was a
- 13:37Speaker 2: Packers games. I think it was Packers game. I think
- 13:41Speaker 2: maybe it was, but that maybe I'm wrong. I've been
- 13:44Speaker 2: wrong a few times. A second that was it too?
- 13:46Speaker 1: This texter says, what did he What does dude just say?
- 13:50Speaker 1: Now I've lost it, Lucra tire. Okay, now we're getting
- 13:52Speaker 1: to play everybody's name in the same well it's a guy.
- 13:55Speaker 1: We've had some shockers in this city on a bad way.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Someone says three hours Chili Day will never be forgotten.
- 14:01Speaker 1: The time I heard Flounder had a date that one
- 14:05Speaker 1: that took me. And then the time I saw that
- 14:07Speaker 1: what he was wearing to his date was his Giant's
- 14:09Speaker 1: leather jacket that also shocked me. Now nobody would choose
- 14:13Speaker 1: to wear that.
- 14:13Speaker 2: I spend a lot of time at Chili's, but never
- 14:15Speaker 2: three hours on a pop.
- 14:17Speaker 3: I should not. I really should be nice a flounderbone.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I don't know if you know how many audio clips
- 14:21Speaker 1: he pulled for us while the US men's national team
- 14:24Speaker 1: was playing. He texted me at eleven o'clock like, Hey,
- 14:26Speaker 1: what audio do you want for today's show of reaction?
- 14:29Speaker 1: I should probably be nice. That just shows that the
- 14:31Speaker 1: jerk I really am, doesn't it. He was that nice
- 14:34Speaker 1: to us, and I still went there. Matthew was the
- 14:36Speaker 1: it was the Packers game.
- 14:37Speaker 3: It was nice.
- 14:38Speaker 2: It was the game where Cam was uh oh, it
- 14:40Speaker 2: was yeah, Clay Matthews.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Eventually we worked our way back into the game that
- 14:45Speaker 1: day because I fully remember watching that. All right, good
- 14:48Speaker 1: memory on that bone. All right, let's bring in this
- 14:51Speaker 1: man I have and this is on me. If this
- 14:53Speaker 1: doesn't go well, boned, y'all can blame me. But when
- 14:56Speaker 1: Sir Lloyd and Beef told me, I don't understand why
- 14:59Speaker 1: everybody's so mad about this LaMelo trade, I think this
- 15:02Speaker 1: trade's gonna work out great in the future for the Hornets.
- 15:05Speaker 1: I decided that what this city needs right now is
- 15:09Speaker 1: Sir lloy of Beef, the most inspirational man in this
- 15:12Speaker 1: city since Billy Graham.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Baby.
- 15:14Speaker 1: All right, I'm telling you right now, I said, Beef,
- 15:17Speaker 1: we need this guy, Billy Ham.
- 15:19Speaker 3: You need you.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Need to give a pep talk, and you need to
- 15:24Speaker 1: pump this fan base up like you do on football Fridays.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Here he is, Sir Lloyin of Beef Baby. Let everybody
- 15:32Speaker 1: know it's gonna be okay, Sir Lloyin.
- 15:35Speaker 5: Backing ball.
- 15:36Speaker 6: Maybe it's a great stay in Charlotte. Man out things
- 15:39Speaker 6: are looking good. He is this one of the first
- 15:44Speaker 6: keys to building this championship franchise. Beef always trust in
- 15:51Speaker 6: Beef Baby, This thing is gonna be great. LaMelo. I
- 15:55Speaker 6: hope you go join your brothers in Minnesota and have
- 15:57Speaker 6: a great time. God three down party with the beef man, baby,
- 16:02Speaker 6: because this c is gonna be lit like forty July
- 16:05Speaker 6: fime works matter. That's what I'm talking about.

- 21:08Speaker 3: Nba, yeah we don't need to tell.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Us, Nice we know it's a busy, Time so we
- 21:12Speaker 2: thank you for trying to give us the info on
- 21:15Speaker 2: a lot of the inner workings of this. Deal it
- 21:17Speaker 2: seems Like, keith a lot of the national media likes
- 21:20Speaker 2: it more from A hornet's perspective Than, minnesota whereas the
- 21:24Speaker 2: fans here are having a hard time coming to terms with,
- 21:27Speaker 2: this like do you view it as there was a
- 21:30Speaker 2: clear winner in the trade or?
- 21:32Speaker 3: Not how do you how do you view?
- 21:33Speaker 5: THAT i tend to take a more long term view
- 21:36Speaker 5: of let's see how these things pan, out and there's
- 21:39Speaker 5: a there are short term wins and then there are
- 21:42Speaker 5: long term. Wins, yeah so The, hornets there are short
- 21:44Speaker 5: term wins of they Get, nazrid a really good, player
- 21:48Speaker 5: and then their long term wins are a whole boatloaded
- 21:51Speaker 5: draft picks and, swaps and they've got control of drafts
- 21:55Speaker 5: With minnesota that are you know who knows where we'll,
- 21:58Speaker 5: be you, know six seven year years from, now and
- 22:00Speaker 5: that that was not a Cheap LaMelo ball.
- 22:03Speaker 3: JOKE i promise doing the hand gesture right, now so
- 22:07Speaker 3: thank you probably did it.
- 22:09Speaker 5: Too IF i was on, video you would have seen
- 22:12Speaker 5: it as. Well but you, know short, term, YEAH i
- 22:15Speaker 5: get why, fans you, know could feel some consternation about
- 22:18Speaker 5: this very popular, player especially with the younger. Fans LaMelo
- 22:23Speaker 5: ball is he's somebody who is kind of the face
- 22:25Speaker 5: of the rebuild of the franchise when they started. Over
- 22:28Speaker 5: AND i gotta you guys would know better THAN, i
- 22:31Speaker 5: but it feels like the reaction, is we finally have
- 22:35Speaker 5: a really good thing going, here why are we even
- 22:37Speaker 5: messing with it at? All exactly going so SO i
- 22:42Speaker 5: do fully get, that BUT i think the flexibility they
- 22:45Speaker 5: created in this getting nasried getting all those draft, picks
- 22:48Speaker 5: and What i'll say is they are not. Done let's
- 22:51Speaker 5: see what comes next after, this before we start passing.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Judgment real, quick before what's? Next how surprised were you
- 23:00Speaker 2: that The hornets did this after such a great season
- 23:03Speaker 2: or did you think in your mind, that, hey, yeah
- 23:06Speaker 2: that maybe he's not.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Long for this for The.
- 23:09Speaker 5: HORNETS i was pretty surprised that it, happened and especially
- 23:14Speaker 5: the speed with which this, happened which tells. Me when
- 23:18Speaker 5: we get reporting of a deal in the evening hours
- 23:21Speaker 5: and then you, know less than twelve hours later we
- 23:24Speaker 5: get the agreement of the, deal that's not really how
- 23:27Speaker 5: it happens in THE, Nba so that tells me there
- 23:29Speaker 5: had been some talks going on for a little bit
- 23:31Speaker 5: here before this was. Settled but in the, end it
- 23:35Speaker 5: does surprise, me because, yeah The hornets were one of
- 23:37Speaker 5: the really fun. Surprises there was nothing but upward momentum
- 23:41Speaker 5: that said something was eventually going to have to give
- 23:44Speaker 5: because they need to Resign Brandon, miller there's a couple other.
- 23:47Speaker 5: Guys they're going to be due for new, contracts So
- 23:49Speaker 5: Kobe white was going to get his new. Deal so
- 23:52Speaker 5: they just weren't ever going to be one of those.
- 23:54Speaker 5: TEAMS i don't think that's going to be a you,
- 23:56Speaker 5: know aprons be, damned let's go deep into those and
- 23:59Speaker 5: you know all THOSE i don't think that's the way
- 24:01Speaker 5: they're going to. Operate But i'm a little surprised that
- 24:03Speaker 5: happened this.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Quickly what did you think of the package that The
- 24:06Speaker 1: hornets got back pickswaps are intrigued because you don't really
- 24:12Speaker 1: know which way it's gonna. Go plus a couple of
- 24:15Speaker 1: the pick, swaps there's like three different teams picks. Involved
- 24:18Speaker 1: they got the one first rounder three. Thirds we all,
- 24:21Speaker 1: love nas reed, like that's the type of stretch for
- 24:23Speaker 1: we've been looking for for a. While did you think
- 24:26Speaker 1: the package was a lot for The hornets or the
- 24:28Speaker 1: trade exception is obviously a big part.
- 24:30Speaker 5: Too, yeah, absolutely we can start. There if this trade
- 24:34Speaker 5: goes down as it looks like it's structured, now which who,
- 24:37Speaker 5: knows right this will not be able to go official
- 24:40Speaker 5: Until july, sixth when the moratorium lists for a number of,
- 24:44Speaker 5: reasons some of them involving the other teams in the.
- 24:47Speaker 5: Trade so we're at a fourteen trader right. Now you
- 24:50Speaker 5: GIVE NBA gms another week or, so, well this could
- 24:53Speaker 5: expand out to be an even bigger. Trade we saw
- 24:55Speaker 5: that with The Kevin durant trade from The sun to The.
- 24:59Speaker 5: Rockets he ended up being a seven team trade when
- 25:02Speaker 5: all was said and. Done but to your question about
- 25:05Speaker 5: about THE, tp that's huge getting that trade exception forty
- 25:09Speaker 5: point seven million. Dollars that's. Massive that's going to allow
- 25:12Speaker 5: them to do some do quite a few. Things then the.
- 25:16Speaker 5: Picks here's the good thing with the pick. Swaps what's
- 25:19Speaker 5: nice is when you trade for a pick, direct especially
- 25:23Speaker 5: in this new, world the lattery reform and the, like
- 25:25Speaker 5: it can't get a little bit messy because something's. Going,
- 25:28Speaker 5: ah that pick doesn't logally it's going to be very.
- 25:30Speaker 5: Good not so SURE i even want to get involved with.
- 25:33Speaker 5: That with a pick, swap it kind of, Is, hey
- 25:35Speaker 5: we're gonna end up with the best of. Whatever this.
- 25:37Speaker 5: Is this kind of works. Out SO i think they
- 25:39Speaker 5: did quite well to get. That and then getting a
- 25:41Speaker 5: completely unprotected pick seven years from, now who knows where will.
- 25:46Speaker 5: BE i, mean neither one of these teams will look
- 25:48Speaker 5: very similar at that, point and that pick could be absolute.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Gold walk us through a little bit how THE cpe
- 25:54Speaker 2: works in terms of The Jalen brown obviously is the
- 25:58Speaker 2: biggest name out, there so a lot of fans and
- 26:00Speaker 2: we hear and media things. All can The hornets Get Jalen?
- 26:03Speaker 2: Brown can they Get Jalen brown with? That or is
- 26:06Speaker 2: that not how it's gonna?
- 26:07Speaker 5: Operate, yeah it won't work that, Way so when you
- 26:10Speaker 5: have a traded player, exception which is forty we're just
- 26:14Speaker 5: gonna say it's forty point seven million because that's what
- 26:16Speaker 5: it looks like. Today what happens is you have to
- 26:20Speaker 5: be able to fit the player's salary into that traded player.
- 26:24Speaker 5: Exception so they could trade for anybody who can go
- 26:26Speaker 5: on spot tracks sword order the contracts and anybody who
- 26:30Speaker 5: makes forty point seven seven million or less can fit
- 26:34Speaker 5: into that trade, exception and mechanically it would. Work here's
- 26:37Speaker 5: your challenge is With Jaln, brown he makes fifty seven.
- 26:40Speaker 5: Million so what you're not allowed to do is take
- 26:44Speaker 5: like Like i've seen people, saying, well Trade Brandon miller
- 26:47Speaker 5: and combine another contract and that's how you Get Jalen
- 26:50Speaker 5: brown with that big. Trade you'll combine those guys with
- 26:53Speaker 5: the trade. Exception you're not allowed to combine or aggregate
- 26:58Speaker 5: is THE cba term for, this the trade exception with
- 27:02Speaker 5: outgoing player salary together to bring in more salary than
- 27:06Speaker 5: what's allowed by the trade. Exception so now WHAT i will,
- 27:10Speaker 5: say sorry is if they expand this, trade there are
- 27:13Speaker 5: ways you could rework this where you don't even create
- 27:16Speaker 5: the trade. Exception use LaMelo ball as matching, salary even
- 27:20Speaker 5: though he's going To. Minnesota and that's how you could
- 27:23Speaker 5: rope in whether It's boston And Jalen brown or any
- 27:25Speaker 5: number of. Players and that's why it's important to kind
- 27:27Speaker 5: of all, right let's see right now it's a fourteen.
- 27:29Speaker 5: Trade maybe this expands even.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Further, yeah it's fascinating and they. Can can they do?
- 27:34Speaker 3: IT i think they can do.
- 27:36Speaker 1: It you tell me with multiple, players, like let's say
- 27:39Speaker 1: two players worth ones, worth twenty ones, worth twenty, two
- 27:42Speaker 1: they can the exception COVER i guess that'd be too.
- 27:45Speaker 1: MUCH i gotta go lower fifteen million by mass carrible.
- 27:48Speaker 5: Key, million twenty fifteen.
- 27:51Speaker 3: And Twenty, like if you do, that can you use
- 27:53Speaker 3: that to cover? Both? Yes, yeah, okay you could.
- 27:56Speaker 5: Do you can split a trade exception to bring in multiple.
- 28:00Speaker 5: Players you just can't add a trade exception to any other.
- 28:03Speaker 3: Salary, Okay, keith do you teach night classes on this?
- 28:06Speaker 4: Stuff by a?
- 28:06Speaker 5: CHANCE i can't hit me off, separately and we'll just
- 28:09Speaker 5: got the.
- 28:10Speaker 4: Day thank.
- 28:10Speaker 1: YOU i love it BECAUSE i saw this On. Twitter
- 28:13Speaker 1: my guy here can't and figure out the math on
- 28:15Speaker 1: the whole. Time, YEAH i screwed that whole thing. Up
- 28:16Speaker 1: keith was getting ready to shoot me. Down, bro you
- 28:19Speaker 1: just gave me forty three million dollars the. Salary oh my, god.
- 28:22Speaker 3: It's, Friday. KEITH i need a beer. Man that's Where i'm.
- 28:25Speaker 3: At that's Where i'm at at My.
- 28:26Speaker 5: Friday you've been out of school for a. While you can't,
- 28:28Speaker 5: spell can't do.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Math all those are good.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Excuses, hey what do you think though about, like like how?
- 28:35Speaker 1: Quickly because there's there's a LOCAL tv reporter, Here Michael
- 28:39Speaker 1: sett DOES tv here that responded To sham's tweet About
- 28:43Speaker 1: sham's last night, Said, Hey boston's talking to multiple teams
- 28:46Speaker 1: About Jaylen brown right, now and one of our LOCAL
- 28:49Speaker 1: tv guys, said my sources telling me The hornets are
- 28:51Speaker 1: one of the teams that are talking to. Them, like
- 28:53Speaker 1: do you think The hornet should be that aggressive and
- 28:57Speaker 1: like be trying to add a star right? Now or
- 29:00Speaker 1: do you think they should slow play this a little bit?
- 29:03Speaker 1: More like how do you think they should play this?
- 29:05Speaker 1: REBUILD i think you'd.
- 29:07Speaker 5: Be aggressive within, reason like Where i'm starting to see
- 29:10Speaker 5: AND i get. IT a lot of this is coming
- 29:12Speaker 5: From celtics fans who are obviously their their opinion Is,
- 29:17Speaker 5: hey if we're Trading Jalen, brown we want kN Kin,
- 29:19Speaker 5: nipple we Want Brandon, miller we want we don't just
- 29:22Speaker 5: want matching salary and draft. Picks and part of that
- 29:25Speaker 5: for The celtics is they're not trying to. Rebuild right
- 29:28Speaker 5: When milwaukee Traded giannis for a boatloaded draft, picks it's
- 29:31Speaker 5: because they're trying to, rebuild so they're they're fine with.
- 29:34Speaker 5: That in this, case The celtics are not trying to do.
- 29:37Speaker 5: That they're trying to, win so you, know a bunch
- 29:39Speaker 5: of just draft centric trade is not really what they're looking.
- 29:44Speaker 5: For so With, charlotte that's where it gets a little, messy, like,
- 29:48Speaker 5: yeah you could trade maybe one of those guys because
- 29:50Speaker 5: in Theory Jalen brown overlaps with. Them AND i kind
- 29:53Speaker 5: of get why maybe you would you would do, that
- 29:55Speaker 5: BUT i think you want to be. Careful we you
- 29:57Speaker 5: don't want to do is kind of down all of,
- 29:59Speaker 5: this and, it's, well we swapped out these two three
- 30:02Speaker 5: really good, players and we got one really good player
- 30:05Speaker 5: and some some flexibility and in that and now all
- 30:08Speaker 5: of a, sudden when you look at, it when the
- 30:09Speaker 5: dust clears, it, boy we're kind of really in the same.
- 30:12Speaker 5: Spot SO i would be very careful of going too
- 30:15Speaker 5: deep and too crazy with another. Trade you, know if
- 30:18Speaker 5: it's there and it makes, sense, yeah absolutely go after.
- 30:21Speaker 5: It but But i'm Not i'm not giving up all
- 30:23Speaker 5: my younger guys in the trade For Jalen. Brown If
- 30:25Speaker 5: i'm The, hornets.
- 30:27Speaker 1: What do you think? About how about this? One we've
- 30:29Speaker 1: had a couple of like Local. Hornets i'm still trying
- 30:31Speaker 1: to figure out my head over, here bones like carried to.
- 30:34Speaker 1: One let's see, here we had a couple of Local
- 30:37Speaker 1: hornets riders that have said to us today that they
- 30:41Speaker 1: would be real patient and they would use the exception
- 30:45Speaker 1: in order to take back maybe you, know bad, contract
- 30:49Speaker 1: but get more picks and just keep adding to that
- 30:52Speaker 1: treasure chest of picks that we. Have do you think
- 30:56Speaker 1: that's the right, Place Because hornets fans hear, That, keith
- 30:58Speaker 1: and they're, like.
- 30:59Speaker 3: We just want forty four.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Games we want to try to win, fifty you know
- 31:03Speaker 1: WHAT i, Mean like we finally saw.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Success we don't want to take a step.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Back do you think that would be a good pragmatic
- 31:09Speaker 1: approach or is that too much slow play in this?
- 31:12Speaker 5: THING i mean it can be if we look at
- 31:16Speaker 5: like in everybody right wants to be like The Oklahoma City.
- 31:19Speaker 5: Thunder everybody wants to model after. Them but what The thunder,
- 31:23Speaker 5: did even when they kind of took their step forward
- 31:26Speaker 5: and got into contention to make the, postseason then what
- 31:30Speaker 5: they did was they continue to still add to Their
- 31:34Speaker 5: Trevor treasure trove of draft. Picks SO i think there
- 31:37Speaker 5: is a place where you can do that if you're
- 31:40Speaker 5: The hornet without really further weakening the. Team BUT i
- 31:45Speaker 5: get why fans are, saying, like, hey it hasn't been
- 31:47Speaker 5: good here for ten. Years you, know we're finally in
- 31:50Speaker 5: a place where things feel like they were close and we're.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Moving The east is getting better around. Us, like let's
- 31:57Speaker 5: keep trying to move that. Forward and that's that's the
- 32:00Speaker 5: balancing act and quite frankly Why Jeff peterson gets made
- 32:04Speaker 5: the big. Box he's got to sit down and sort
