0:16
Speaker 1: why is Dame Lillard so happy that Milwaukee decided to
0:22
Speaker 1: fire him? We'll talk about that. Also true or false?
0:24
Speaker 1: The Bucks were being reckless, so we're being tossed around
0:28
Speaker 1: and buying out Dame Lillard to get their hands on
0:31
Speaker 1: Miles Turner of the Pacers, and we're the Pacers being
0:35
Speaker 1: cheap in letting Miles turn to leave without much of
0:39
Speaker 1: a fight and go to the division rival Bucks. We'll
0:42
Speaker 1: talk about all of that and more right now here
0:44
Speaker 1: it is our number one, a star on the move
0:50
Speaker 1: but not traded, not traded, but on the move. Welcome,
0:54
Speaker 1: in the beginning of another night of the Ben Malor Show.
1:00
Speaker 1: In the air everywares we are waggling and trying not
1:06
Speaker 1: to fall in the gravy coast to coast, border the
1:09
Speaker 1: motor and beyond on the vast and spectacularly powerful microphones
1:16
Speaker 1: of fsre amminating live from the mix. It's the Malor
1:21
Speaker 1: Mixtape from the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by
1:27
Speaker 1: mister Irrigation, and this portion of the Ben Maler Show
1:31
Speaker 1: on Fox Mide possible in part by our friends at
1:34
Speaker 1: tire Iraq. For over forty years, Tyraq has been helping
1:37
Speaker 1: customers find the right tires for how, what and where
1:41
Speaker 1: they drive, ship fast and free back by free road
1:44
Speaker 1: hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tireinstallation, tire
1:51
Speaker 1: rac dot Com, the Way Tire Buying shure me so
1:56
Speaker 1: our lead this hour from pro Bouncy Ball and a
2:01
Speaker 1: surprise from the Cream City. And if you didn't see this,
2:06
Speaker 1: perhaps in a big shakeup, oh my god, a big shape,
2:09
Speaker 1: although the guy was gonna play anyway next season. If
2:12
Speaker 1: you didn't see it from Pro bouncy Ball, Dame time
2:16
Speaker 1: has ended. No more Dame, at least for the Bucks.
2:19
Speaker 1: If you have not heard, and maybe you have missed
2:22
Speaker 1: it here, the Milwaukee Bucks have said bye bye to
2:27
Speaker 1: one of their star players. No, they did not trade Dame.
2:30
Speaker 1: They did not trade Giannis, but they did leave many
2:33
Speaker 1: around the NBA thunderstruck. As it is game over for
2:39
Speaker 1: Dame Lillard there and see you later. They agreed to
2:44
Speaker 1: a four year contract one hundred and seven million dollars
2:48
Speaker 1: for former Indiana Pacers center Miles Turner you might remember
2:52
Speaker 1: he played for the Pacers for the longest amount of
2:56
Speaker 1: time of anyone currently on the Pacers. They were in
2:58
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, and he was the top free agent
3:02
Speaker 1: on the market, and he is no longer at market.
3:06
Speaker 1: He has come off the market. Milwaukee did not have
3:09
Speaker 1: enough cap space to sign Miles Turner, so they circumvented
3:14
Speaker 1: the salary cap, proving yet again the cap is crap,
3:17
Speaker 1: even in the NBA, and so they created the necessary
3:21
Speaker 1: room to add Miles Turner by waiving Damian Lillard. He
3:28
Speaker 1: was fired by the Milwaukee Bucks. Out of course, in
3:31
Speaker 1: the NBA, when you're an All Star and you've got
3:34
Speaker 1: a decorated resume, they call it released. They don't say
3:37
Speaker 1: you're fired, they say it's released. Milwaukee will pay him
3:42
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and ten million. That's guaranteed money
3:46
Speaker 1: the final two years of the contract, and it's essentially
3:50
Speaker 1: a dead cap hit, something that happens quite a bit
3:53
Speaker 1: in the NFL world. It is happening now in basketball.
3:56
Speaker 1: So Damian Lillard, who dealt with the snap Crackle Pop,
4:02
Speaker 1: goes the Achilles during the playoffs and the story is
4:06
Speaker 1: he's elated. Reports say Dame Lillard elated, elated, the Bucks
4:11
Speaker 1: decided to get rid of him. So let us discuss
4:15
Speaker 1: the question, why why is Damian Lillard so happy that
4:22
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is firing him. So I've got Hallmark, telescope and Alligator,
4:30
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together, and
4:34
Speaker 1: we are going to put the biscuit in the basket.
4:37
Speaker 1: Is what we're gonna do, So a dame times. His
4:40
Speaker 1: reaction here is what we call a dead giveaway. It
4:45
Speaker 1: is a dead giveaway. He never wanted to go to
4:51
Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin. Every man, woman and child knew that.
4:54
Speaker 1: To pay attention, right, we all knew that you want
4:56
Speaker 1: to go there. Now, you didn't make a big stick
4:58
Speaker 1: about it. But deep down he had his heart set
5:01
Speaker 1: on Miami. He was eyeing Miami palm trees and cocktails
5:06
Speaker 1: and sunshine. And he went to overcast, dreary skies, chilli
5:12
Speaker 1: weather Milwaukee and the Trailblazers refused to accommodate Lillard's desires,
5:19
Speaker 1: his wants and needs back in the day, and so
5:21
Speaker 1: he went to Wisconsin. There and he didn't want to
5:24
Speaker 1: go there. And so he did his time with the Bucks,
5:26
Speaker 1: and now he has been given a Milwaukee Mulligan. He's
5:31
Speaker 1: got the Mulligan, Dame Lillard and one hundred and thirteen million.
5:37
Speaker 1: That's not punishment. Your employer is paying you one hundred
5:41
Speaker 1: and thirteen million. You don't have to work for them,
5:44
Speaker 1: my god. And the reason he's so happy is he's
5:49
Speaker 1: obviously not going to be playing for Milwaukee anymore. And
5:52
Speaker 1: Lillard will end up getting another at least one hundred
5:56
Speaker 1: million dollars on top of the one hundred thirteen million dollars.
6:00
Speaker 1: And this is a microcosm, is it not? Of the
6:04
Speaker 1: modern NBA landscape In the year twenty twenty five, the
6:09
Speaker 1: superstar player gets the divorce. It is so routine now,
6:14
Speaker 1: it is so common you do not even need a
6:17
Speaker 1: lawyer at this point. Now, this is more extreme than most.
6:21
Speaker 1: But Dame Time got his freedom, and he gets a big, giant,
6:25
Speaker 1: cartoon sized buyout check the bucks clear salary cap space,
6:30
Speaker 1: and everyone just hugs it out. It's like they're in
6:33
Speaker 1: a Hallmark movie. And Lillard moves on to his next
6:36
Speaker 1: team and then that's that, and Milwaukee on his way out,
6:40
Speaker 1: they say, all right, dam we will give you a
6:41
Speaker 1: golden parachute. And it's it's cloth has been weaved with gold,
6:48
Speaker 1: we melted it down, we weaved it in there, and
6:50
Speaker 1: it allows him to handpick his next team, whoever that
6:54
Speaker 1: might be the usual suspects. And despite being on crutches
6:58
Speaker 1: because his achilles is all met stop in shredded, Damian
7:01
Speaker 1: Lilo will be doing the mating dance with prospective employers.
7:04
Speaker 1: They'll play foot see and they'll flicker their eyes and
7:07
Speaker 1: all that. He will not be able to play until
7:10
Speaker 1: at the minimum February of next year, so you know,
7:15
Speaker 1: miss October, November, December, January, maybe even the whole year.
7:19
Speaker 1: But the early reports sorry, he should be able to
7:21
Speaker 1: play by some time in February of next year. So
7:24
Speaker 1: where will he end. Well, you keep an eye on
7:26
Speaker 1: the heat. They don't have anybody good. They suck the
7:29
Speaker 1: Miami Heat, so that's an obvious one. A team like
7:32
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets could see them. They're shaking things up,
7:37
Speaker 1: moving some things around. Could see that then, and who knows,
7:39
Speaker 1: go back to the trail blass to try to win,
7:42
Speaker 1: So could go back there. He obviously regretted when he laughed.
7:46
Speaker 1: He's like, well, this life on the other side of
7:49
Speaker 1: the grass is not always greener. If it is, maybe
7:51
Speaker 1: I don't like that green. I like a different shade
7:53
Speaker 1: of green. Meanwhile, so let's go out of the other
7:56
Speaker 1: part of this, and that's the Milwaukee Bucks part of it.
8:00
Speaker 1: Is it true or false? The Milwaukee Bucks were being reckless, reckless,
8:07
Speaker 1: as some indicated by buying out Dame Lillard to get
8:12
Speaker 1: their hands on Miles turn This is being described the
8:14
Speaker 1: word was used reckless. That was the word that was
8:16
Speaker 1: used on this. So it's sure or false. So on
8:18
Speaker 1: my scorecard I wrote down false with a capital F.
8:24
Speaker 1: False with a capital Now, the idea that the Bucks
8:28
Speaker 1: were somehow reckless and going rogue and all that by
8:34
Speaker 1: buying out Damian Lillard's contract and pivoting towards Myles Turner,
8:38
Speaker 1: I find that laughable with a capital L. I do.
8:42
Speaker 1: This is not about being reckless. It's about a different
8:46
Speaker 1: R word, being realistic. That's the word I will use here.
8:49
Speaker 1: Because in the NBA, you build around You don't really
8:53
Speaker 1: build around a system or a culture. They everyone loves
8:57
Speaker 1: to talk about those things, but you don't really build
8:58
Speaker 1: around those things. Build around a superstar player, period. Stop.
9:04
Speaker 1: And when you've got a once in a generation player, Yannis,
9:10
Speaker 1: a dental Cumbo like the Milwaukee Bucks have their hands
9:12
Speaker 1: on a generational town. Blah blah, one man, wrecking crew, etcetera, etcetera.
9:17
Speaker 1: The Greek God and high tops all that stuff. You
9:22
Speaker 1: do whatever you have to do to pacify him. And
9:25
Speaker 1: so this is Yanis's franchise. Now we all know that.
9:29
Speaker 1: And they go, they go to hell when he leaves.
9:32
Speaker 1: So if you look at this through a telescope, get
9:35
Speaker 1: the old telescope out. I mean, you look at the telescope.
9:39
Speaker 1: Yannis in this solar system in Milwaukee Bucks hierarchy is
9:43
Speaker 1: the sun. He is the moon, He is the cheese Kurds.
9:48
Speaker 1: He is the cheese in Milwaukee basketball. And that's it.
9:53
Speaker 1: And this is the cost of modern contention because once
9:57
Speaker 1: Janice is done there, it's all over, right, it's all
10:02
Speaker 1: it's all over. So you either pay now or you
10:04
Speaker 1: pay later. So Yannis, when he walks out the door,
10:08
Speaker 1: at some point you figure out play with somebody else
10:09
Speaker 1: before he's done in Milwaukee. Then it's all over. So
10:14
Speaker 1: this was the word is calculated. It's a calculated move
10:18
Speaker 1: because you say it's desperate if you want, and you'll
10:21
Speaker 1: call it whatever. But I would not use the word reckless.
10:25
Speaker 1: I would not. And the movie is about keeping Yannis
10:28
Speaker 1: engaged and you know, smiling and all that stuff, and
10:33
Speaker 1: contending and competing and but staying, staying, because you got
10:39
Speaker 1: to have about twenty Draft Lottery appearances before you get
10:42
Speaker 1: another player like Yannis, and the moment that he leaves
10:47
Speaker 1: and the door closes behind him, Milwaukee becomes just another
10:53
Speaker 1: small market, go nowhere, filler spam team in the NBA,
10:59
Speaker 1: And I'll have the memories of Giannis and then wherever
11:03
Speaker 1: he goes, they can watch him and the broken dreams
11:05
Speaker 1: of him playing for somebody else and the maybe their
11:08
Speaker 1: arena will become haunted by the ghosts of what could
11:10
Speaker 1: have been. So you hold lot of that. So if
11:12
Speaker 1: the price is you got to pay one hundred and
11:14
Speaker 1: thirteen million dollars in dead money for a guy that's
11:16
Speaker 1: not going to be on your team, you spread that
11:18
Speaker 1: out over a couple of years. But you do that
11:20
Speaker 1: because you get a couple more years out of Yanni's
11:23
Speaker 1: before he demands to be traded to the Knicks or
11:25
Speaker 1: the Warriors or the Clippers or something like that. All right, now,
11:27
Speaker 1: the last word here, So were the Pacers being el Cheapo?
11:34
Speaker 1: Were the Pacers being el cheapo in letting Miles trying
11:38
Speaker 1: to leave for a team in their division, the Milwaukee Bucks.
11:43
Speaker 1: Because the story out of Indiana Pacers riding high, they
11:46
Speaker 1: were in the NBA Finals year and the whole thing
11:48
Speaker 1: and got all the way down to the bitter end
11:51
Speaker 1: of the NBA Finals. Then that, so does a dog
11:54
Speaker 1: get fleece? Is my response. We're the Pacers being cheap.
11:58
Speaker 1: Let's hear, so let's do the arithmetics. So Miles Turner
12:01
Speaker 1: is gone. He's not staying in Indiana. Not because he
12:06
Speaker 1: wanted to leave, if you believe his own words. Not
12:12
Speaker 1: because of that, Not because he didn't fit playing alongside
12:15
Speaker 1: Tyre's Halliburton's got his own Achilles injury, or not because
12:19
Speaker 1: he couldn't get it done on the court anymore. Not
12:21
Speaker 1: because of that, Not because he was not a productive
12:26
Speaker 1: member of the team that got to the bloody NBA
12:28
Speaker 1: Finals the Pacers did, and all that stuff. No, no, no, no.
12:31
Speaker 1: When you break it all down, you add the numbers
12:33
Speaker 1: up and you put him in the calculator. Miles Turner
12:37
Speaker 1: is gone because the Pacers, the ownership group there once
12:42
Speaker 1: again refused to spend like they you have to spend
12:48
Speaker 1: a certain amount. You get to a certain point and
12:50
Speaker 1: everyone gets paid a lot of money there and you
12:53
Speaker 1: have to pay to keep that talent together. And they
12:56
Speaker 1: didn't want to do it. It's not the first time, it's
12:59
Speaker 1: not the last time, and this is it. It's no
13:03
Speaker 1: different than in baseball the Tampa Bay Rays, whoever so
13:07
Speaker 1: often have a team that gets far in the playoffs,
13:09
Speaker 1: and then they immediately start dumping players. I can't afford
13:14
Speaker 1: this guy, I can't afford that guy. And you're gone,
13:17
Speaker 1: and you're gone, and you're gone, and there you go.
13:21
Speaker 1: So just say, whatever success the Pacers have, we know
13:26
Speaker 1: that it will not last. It's just the latest example.
13:30
Speaker 1: And I have no skin in the game because I'm
13:31
Speaker 1: not I'm not there, I'm not a fan of the team.
13:33
Speaker 1: I just know from the outside and looking down from
13:36
Speaker 1: thirty thousand feet that this is a tradition. It is
13:40
Speaker 1: an endearing tradition of the Pacers. When the check gets really,
13:45
Speaker 1: really big, the Pacers, they pull back the pen is
13:50
Speaker 1: what they do. They want to pay that. It's kind
13:53
Speaker 1: of like when you go out to a nice meal
13:55
Speaker 1: with some friends and the check comes and it's time
13:59
Speaker 1: to pay the bill, and suddenly the Pacers. They're there
14:02
Speaker 1: and they had a great time. They enjoyed the nice
14:05
Speaker 1: bread with the garlic olive dip there. They liked that,
14:08
Speaker 1: they liked the fetichini alfredo, they like some of the
14:11
Speaker 1: other dishes. And then when it was time to pay,
14:13
Speaker 1: they become an alligator alligator arms. Suddenly they can't reach
14:17
Speaker 1: the check. And that's the Indiana Pacers. They had success,
14:20
Speaker 1: they tasted it. Everyone seemed happy. There was a fluke
14:23
Speaker 1: run to the NBA Finals, and so how do they
14:25
Speaker 1: handle that. They're like, yeah, you know, cheapness. Rick Carlisle
14:33
Speaker 1: and Haliburn and these guys were, oh yeah. Carlisle said
14:37
Speaker 1: it was a priority that Miles Turner was a priority,
14:40
Speaker 1: said that back at April. They all said the right things,
14:43
Speaker 1: because this is why you don't take what people say
14:46
Speaker 1: for more than just face value. And it was their
14:51
Speaker 1: priority until it came time to actually pay the money.
14:54
Speaker 1: And so keeping Miles Turner, we are told here that
14:57
Speaker 1: keeping Miles Turner around, that that would have meant going
15:02
Speaker 1: into the traded luxury tax. Oh my god, horror of horse.
15:06
Speaker 1: That is something the Pacers have not done in a generation,
15:09
Speaker 1: twenty years. Havn't done it. Haven't gone there, not gonna
15:14
Speaker 1: do it now. So the Pacers blinked and Miles Turner
15:17
Speaker 1: said bye bye. He bolted out of there like a
15:22
Speaker 1: horse running at the start of the Kentucky Derby got
15:25
Speaker 1: out of there. And you can't really blame him for
15:28
Speaker 1: doing that. In Indiana had a chance to keep him.
15:32
Speaker 1: They fetched around, they left around, and they they found out.
15:37
Speaker 1: They eft around, they found out, and so they chose
15:40
Speaker 1: their favorite player. They love the almighty dollars save a
15:44
Speaker 1: couple of shekels, and so the Pacers will save some
15:46
Speaker 1: dollars and all that. And while they did that, they
15:49
Speaker 1: watched the longest tenured player go out the door, and
15:52
Speaker 1: not just go out the door and go out somewhere
15:54
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference. No, no, no, no, he will
15:57
Speaker 1: come back to be a poltergeist, Miles Turner, at least
15:59
Speaker 1: for the next couple of years. He will hunt him
16:03
Speaker 1: as he will be in the same division, any division
16:05
Speaker 1: rival team that the Pacers had owned in recent years
16:08
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Well, now Myles Turner gone, and so
16:11
Speaker 1: they'll have to get somebody else and figure that out
16:13
Speaker 1: and throw it against the wall like spaghetti and see
16:15
Speaker 1: what sticks against the wall. Yeah, it's a sad sad
16:20
Speaker 1: so it's not a sad story, it's just a rather
16:22
Speaker 1: pathetic So if you would like to comment on that
16:25
Speaker 1: or any of the other moving and shaking going on,
16:29
Speaker 1: busy time, you love the transaction, and who doesn't love
16:33
Speaker 1: the transaction? A fine time of the year for the transaction.

20:36
Speaker 1: your Bucks who have reloaded and a legit contender in
20:40
Speaker 1: the East. I didn't realize I was representing the Milwaukee Bucks.
20:43
Speaker 1: I had no idea that the Milwaukee Bucks had loaded
20:47
Speaker 1: up and we're ready to go. By the way, I
20:49
Speaker 1: don't think that's loading up like Miles Turner the other
20:52
Speaker 1: pickups that you're mentioning here. I don't know that that
20:54
Speaker 1: counts as loading up or I would go no, I
20:58
Speaker 1: would go absolutely not on that. What else do yeah?
21:00
Speaker 1: Listen page nine, Josh has welcome back. Ben cannot wait
21:04

21:11
Speaker 1: to that at some point. Darren Waller realizing NFL money,
21:17
Speaker 1: as long as you can get that NFL money, you
21:19
Speaker 1: got to take that. You can't step away from that
21:20
Speaker 1: NFL money. I don't care how messed up your body gets,
21:23
Speaker 1: the amount of money they pay you to do something
21:26
Speaker 1: that's relatively easy compared to the rest of the world
21:29
Speaker 1: to make that kind of money. Come on, super Market,
21:32
Speaker 1: Steve right since says Miles Turner is the big free
21:35
Speaker 1: agent in the off season, no wonder it has seemed
21:38
Speaker 1: like a very slow June. Well, I don't know if
21:42
Speaker 1: you know this, Supermarket se if you're gonnalow you away,
21:43
Speaker 1: this is now July. Oh my god, we're in July.
21:48
Speaker 1: We are in the month of July fascinating. Shanean new
21:53
Speaker 1: Morn is happy the show is back. Cody says, don't
21:56
Speaker 1: forget it's Bobby Benia Day. At age sixty two. He's
21:59
Speaker 1: getting his one point two million check from the Mets,
22:02
Speaker 1: still had another ten years to go. Well, Bobby Benia
22:06
Speaker 1: Day is kind of cool, Cody and all that. But
22:08
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, what they're doing with all this deferred money?
22:12
Speaker 1: Are they going to have show Hey Otani Day where
22:16
Speaker 1: they the one point two million unt The Dodgers is
22:19
Speaker 1: going to be paying Otani like thirty five to forty
22:21
Speaker 1: million or something like that per year in deferred money.
22:25
Speaker 1: At some point, Trucker Joe writes, and he says, Ben,
22:27
Speaker 1: what do we have to do to get you into
22:29
Speaker 1: the Radio Hall of Fame? Like Colin Coward? Well, I
22:34
Speaker 1: would have to be voted, and normally the politics. Now
22:37
Speaker 1: I know that at first I'm not asking to be
22:39
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. I don't get in or out.
22:40
Speaker 1: Who cares? But alf the Alien Opiner attempted this several
22:45
Speaker 1: years ago, and there's a lot of politics involved. Now.
22:48
Speaker 1: The Radio Hall of Fame, I think is out in Chicago.
22:52
Speaker 1: I think that's where the Radio Hall of Fame is
22:53
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure they have a vote. You have
22:56
Speaker 1: to be as Alf said, he said, you have to
22:59
Speaker 1: be submitted to a panel. And so I don't know
23:03
Speaker 1: if you guys want to do what you want with that.
23:05
Speaker 1: I don't really know the back behind. I think the
23:08
Speaker 1: companies have to support, Like the radio companies usually kind
23:11
Speaker 1: of lead certain people down that path. So the chances
23:15
Speaker 1: of me being led down that path are not great.
23:17
Speaker 1: Supermarket Steve says, Dame Livard has spent his whole career
23:20
Speaker 1: in Portland and Milwaukee. In a winter sport. He is
23:24
Speaker 1: headed straight for sunshine and palm trees anywhere you can
23:29
Speaker 1: find them. In February, elated, how about gleeful, a static,
23:35
Speaker 1: jubilant and you fork? Okay, Well he does. He's divorced,
23:40
Speaker 1: he's got the kids, live in Portland. I believe I
23:44
Speaker 1: read that somewhere and so here you go back. If
23:48
Speaker 1: he really is like, hey, I gotta spend time with
23:50
Speaker 1: the kids. I want to be a good dad. I
23:52
Speaker 1: got to hang out there, and of course the kids
23:54
Speaker 1: someday will be like, be a good dad. Give another
23:56
Speaker 1: two hundred million dollar contract. That'll really help us out
23:59
Speaker 1: down the line up in the Q says hey, plus
24:01
Speaker 1: on the monologue, Apparently there are several media a pundits
24:04
Speaker 1: predicting Dame time. We'll lined up with my rockets, and
24:09
Speaker 1: I'm okay with it. If he can make it back
24:12
Speaker 1: sometime next season. Well, the math is not great. Players
24:16
Speaker 1: in their mid thirties that have Achilles injuries not great.
24:20
Speaker 1: Filler up Phil rights in. He says, could you please
24:22
Speaker 1: go back to the it's all about the Benjamin's opening song.
24:27
Speaker 1: Filler up Phil says, well, we stopped doing that because
24:30
Speaker 1: there was this guy named Diddy who put that song out.
24:33
Speaker 1: He's facing rather serious charges. Now. I guess the jury
24:36
Speaker 1: has reached a partial verdict. I read that, but they
24:39
Speaker 1: haven't announced the verdict. So if Diddy somehow gets out
24:42
Speaker 1: of this and then is able to get out of
24:46
Speaker 1: jail or avoid jail, then yeah, we can bring it back.
24:51
Speaker 1: They dropped a couple of charges, by the way, Oh
24:53
Speaker 1: they they've already dropped a couple. Is that right? Let's
24:55
Speaker 1: go to Marry the Boardop. You have more than this
24:56
Speaker 1: Marry of the Boardop? You are you following the Deddi trial?
24:59
Speaker 1: Some am I? But they dropped like the Arson majority
25:05
Speaker 1: of the cases. Oh they did, okay, so it's looking
25:07
Speaker 1: good for Diddy. Then I don't know know, okay, I
25:11
Speaker 1: would ex Actually that's supposed to happen today, uh later
25:13
Speaker 1: today on the second of July year. Is this supposed
25:15
Speaker 1: to be Diddy Day? Is that? Are they going to
25:17
Speaker 1: reach your decision and then Diddy Day? Diddy Day? Call it?
25:21
Speaker 1: You don't want to call it Diddy Day, but the
25:23
Speaker 1: day they announced the verdict, Like, that's a big day, right,
25:26
Speaker 1: this is you know, he's facing some serious jail time
25:28
Speaker 1: like the rest of his life if he's convicted and
25:30
Speaker 1: all this stuff, right or he was? So I haven't
25:34
Speaker 1: watched any of it. So am I missing out? Is
25:36
Speaker 1: this great entertainment? Am I missing out on the Diddy trials?
25:39
Speaker 3: Just like?
25:40
Speaker 1: No, I don't know anything about it either, But I
25:43
Speaker 1: like calling it Diddy Day? Did He Day? I like
25:45
Speaker 1: that did He Day? Yeah? There you go. People will
25:48
Speaker 1: be civil, right, they're not gonna How do you celebrate
25:51
Speaker 1: if he if he does end up beating them the Feds?
25:55
Speaker 1: You can't beat the Feds, Okay, right, you can't. No, no, no,
26:00
Speaker 1: they can't because the Feds, though they always have home
26:04
Speaker 1: court advantage in their favorite. That's an old Beano cook line.
26:06
Speaker 1: This old college football commentaries. The Feds always have home
26:10
Speaker 1: court advantage, and they're favored in every every case, but
26:15
Speaker 1: don't usually overcharge people, so they get some kind of conviction.
26:18
Speaker 1: There's like they find one thing to listen. I haven't
26:22
Speaker 1: seen it. I have watched. It doesn't really interest me
26:25
Speaker 1: all that much, but I will make a deal with you.
26:27
Speaker 1: Filler up, Phil. If Dinny ends up somehow pulling the
26:30
Speaker 1: rabbit out of the hat here and his dream team
26:33
Speaker 1: of lawyers get him out of trouble, we will immediately
26:37
Speaker 1: bring back the all about the Benjamin Saw. Yes, why
26:42
Speaker 1: not until someone at management tells me not to do that.
26:44
Speaker 1: Eugene in Chicago right since his men two NBA players
26:48
Speaker 1: no longer wanted by the teams they're on anymore. The
26:51
Speaker 1: Greek freak is number one and number two is Lebron
26:54
Speaker 1: James Milwaukee ready to start a rebuild. They just signed
26:58
Speaker 1: Miles Truner to No, the Lakers only care about keeping
27:03
Speaker 1: Luca happy new ownership in LA. I'm not reading it
27:07
Speaker 1: that way. I'm not. You would think Lebron, though, would
27:11
Speaker 1: be very happy at the Lakers. He gets to play
27:14
Speaker 1: with another superstar for a full season. Luka, doncik, you'd
27:18
Speaker 1: think you'd be fired up about that. Let's go to
27:21
Speaker 1: the phones and we'll say hello to Eenie Meenie, miny Moe.
27:25
Speaker 1: Let's go to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome,
27:33
Speaker 1: hold on, Andre, you know there we go. Yeah, I
27:36
Speaker 1: hear you. What's up?
27:38
Speaker 3: It's good to be happy. Happy Bobby Bonia days. So
27:40
Speaker 3: Bobby Boia Day on the West Coast, on the West coast, Okay.
27:43
Speaker 3: It was glorious here on the East Coast, Okay. But
27:46
Speaker 3: now it's transfer.
27:47
Speaker 1: Week that's got rained out though we got rained out
27:50
Speaker 1: the Mets. No celebration there, the Mets game with the
27:53
Speaker 1: brew crew rained out. So were they gonna have Bennie
27:56
Speaker 1: out there running around with bags of money?
27:59
Speaker 3: It should have been you know, I think that was
28:01
Speaker 3: part of the deal for Cohen, you know, Daddy Warbucks
28:04
Speaker 3: when he bought the team, you know, because he has
28:06
Speaker 3: the revenue based on his dealings on you know, very
28:08
Speaker 3: successful you know, on Wall Street with his stocks. You know,
28:11
Speaker 3: did he get maybe a little bit of insider information
28:13
Speaker 3: but that's not here, I know there. But when he
28:15
Speaker 3: you know, I see Willis wants to get on Nobody Buss.
28:18
Speaker 3: He's a very enthusiastic about body Bonia Day as well.
28:21
Speaker 3: We're also gonna get ready to go for our stroll.
28:23
Speaker 3: But I think it was a part of the Cohen,
28:26
Speaker 3: the current Cohen acquisition, that he would happily take on
28:30
Speaker 3: some of those earnings. It's supposed to be five million.
28:33
Speaker 3: It's already seventeen million, and we got ten more years left.
28:37
Speaker 3: So the five million dollars, you know, uh moneys and
28:41
Speaker 3: Will's to want to get five millions and get thirty
28:44
Speaker 3: close to thirty million dollars.
28:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, is fired up here, man.
28:49
Speaker 3: Fired up by body Bonida date. It's a beautiful thing,
28:51
Speaker 3: particularly on the cape and islands. Ben This is the height.
28:54
Speaker 3: This is not only the gloriousness of me being able
28:56
Speaker 3: to be with you, okay, you know in the late
28:59
Speaker 3: night hours consistent, but we're heading towards the fourth on Friday, and.
29:03
Speaker 1: You know, build a big, massive fireworks show. You got
29:06
Speaker 1: to take care of Willis. Dogs don't like fireworks. You
29:08
Speaker 1: gotta take care of Willis Man. My dog, my dog,
29:11
Speaker 1: my old dog Bella ran away on the fourth of July.
29:14
Speaker 1: Was oh my god, Calm down, down, down, down, Willis down,
29:18
Speaker 1: wellis he's he's.
29:20
Speaker 3: A he's likes it. He's a malinof So he's that
29:22
Speaker 3: K nine dog. So that's that's like an.
29:24
Speaker 1: Extra that's an investigative dog. That's a that's an investigative dog,
29:28
Speaker 1: is what that is?
29:29
Speaker 2: Right?
29:29
Speaker 3: Right? So Willson fired up about.
29:32
Speaker 1: Bobby no no no. I mentioned this earlier. So here's
29:35
Speaker 1: how much I thought it was like fifty million the
29:37
Speaker 1: Otani Otani day. He will get sixty eight million per
29:43
Speaker 1: year in the thirred money, Otani day will be sixty
29:46
Speaker 1: eight million. He's getting paid seventy million an annual salary,
29:51
Speaker 1: but he's sixty eight of the seventies deferred by the Dodgers.
29:54
Speaker 1: That starts in twenty thirty four, So in nine years,
29:58
Speaker 1: Otani day will be sixty eight million per year day million.
30:03
Speaker 3: And I think it's only fitting because that's the SE's
30:05
Speaker 3: going to be the second to last year of Bobby
30:07
Speaker 3: Bonia Day. So as I think Bobby go'dea will pass
30:10
Speaker 3: the baton.
30:10
Speaker 1: It's a great idea. Okay, they should have a ceremony
30:13
Speaker 1: and Mets when the Mets play the Dodgers, they should
30:15
Speaker 1: have Bania hand a bag of money. To Otani and
30:21
Speaker 1: then Otanio laugh He said, one point two million. I've
30:23
Speaker 1: been sixty eight million. I don't care about your little bag.
30:26
Speaker 1: One point two million.
30:27
Speaker 3: That's right, and he can take it going on into
30:30
Speaker 3: the future in Verport two. No, I know you got
30:32
Speaker 3: callers lined up, but Ben speaking of getting a boatload
30:35
Speaker 3: of money to do nothing right, this is what Damian
30:37
Speaker 3: Lillard now is up for. Because the Milwaukee Bucks, they're
30:40
Speaker 3: essentially blowing up the team. I don't I think it
30:42
Speaker 3: was going to get here eventually. I don't necessarily like
30:45
Speaker 3: the way they did it because Jannis was putting out
30:47
Speaker 3: some things about he would be loyal to the soil
30:49
Speaker 3: to stay in Milwaukee. But now they make this move
30:52
Speaker 3: and they go through all of this. Wills can't believe
30:54
Speaker 3: it all for what. Miles Turner, what are you talking
30:57
Speaker 3: What are we talking about here? Okay, well we were
30:59
Speaker 3: talking about Risen to the moment. He's a good player.
31:01
Speaker 3: They were in the finals. But you don't go through
31:03
Speaker 3: all of this rigamarole to bring in Miles Turns think
31:06
Speaker 3: that's going to convince Giannis answer Coopo to stay. So
31:08
Speaker 3: for my money, he's been not not just politely escorted.
31:12
Speaker 3: He's been DJ Jazzy Jeff thrown out of Milwaukee. Where's
31:15
Speaker 3: Uncle Phil get him in there? That's how we Honesty
31:17
Speaker 3: is leaving Milwaukee and he's set it straight for my
31:20
Speaker 3: money to the Golden State Warriors. I think there. I
31:22
Speaker 3: think that's where he's gonna land. Now there's some other teams,
31:25
Speaker 3: the Knicks, but the Nick don't they don't know who
31:27
Speaker 3: they are. They have you gotten their house in order?
31:29
Speaker 3: And possibly Miami he does like no South Beach Miami.
31:33
Speaker 3: But I think in terms of a team that's gonna
31:35
Speaker 3: you know, he's got Steph Curry there, He's got Jimmy
31:37
Speaker 3: Butler there in the Bay Area. He can get some
31:39
Speaker 3: of the artificial intelligence money, the Bucks. You know, you
31:42
Speaker 3: might have been able to make an offer he couldn't refuse,
31:45
Speaker 3: like bringing jew Holiday back to Milwaukee to build it
31:47
Speaker 3: back up. Since the Celtics want to give away championship.
31:50
Speaker 3: But no, you want to pay Miles Turner and Damian
31:52
Speaker 3: Little's fifty million dollars, you know, and you know, give
31:55
Speaker 3: you Honesty in the back of your hand. So way
31:58
Speaker 3: he's out of there, But I'm in here.
32:01
Speaker 1: Thank you, sore the rambling man our guy Andre ferg
32:07
Speaker 1: dog concerned, writes, and he says, what's up with willis?
32:10
Speaker 1: You must have gotten infected by some kind of computer virus.
32:14
Speaker 1: So so he says the specialist right sinceays the government
32:18
Speaker 1: of Montenegro has just announced it's nominating Mahler for the
32:22

Speaker 1: better candidate. Well, very kind. You can find out on

33:04
Speaker 1: shot are you taking?

Speaker 1: of the show about Okay, So it's been in here
34:23
Speaker 1: in Reno. So it's been an hour and twelve minutes.
34:25
Speaker 1: So that's about every thirty six minutes a shot my math.
34:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I got a couple of cocktails in
34:32
Speaker 3: between there.
34:33
Speaker 1: All right, Well pace yourself. It's a marathon, sir, it's
34:36
Speaker 1: a marathon.
34:36
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, I've done this in a while.
34:39
Speaker 1: God bless you, John, And thank you, sir, God bless
34:41
Speaker 1: your liver. All right, thank you. There he goes John
34:44
Speaker 1: and Reno. So the rest of the story. I remember
34:47
Speaker 1: the deal we talked about in the previous episode of
34:50
Speaker 1: the show Malik Beasley, who was a key role player
34:55
Speaker 1: for the Detroit Pistons, and his name came up in
34:58
Speaker 1: a federal gambling invest instigation. And well, turns out, now
35:02
Speaker 1: we're hearing the rest of the stories. He seems that
35:06
Speaker 1: my man Malik Beasley loved to spend a lot of money,
35:10
Speaker 1: and sometimes it was money he didn't have. According to
35:13
Speaker 1: the Detroit News, they investigated Malik Beasley and he has
35:19
Speaker 1: more than eight million dollars worth of financial issues. He's
35:24
Speaker 1: been sued twice by his landlord in Detroit. He's actually
35:30
Speaker 1: had part of his NBA paycheck seized. This according to
35:34
Speaker 1: public records research. Court records obtained by the media there
35:40
Speaker 1: in Detroit, claim that he has not been paying his bills.
35:44
Speaker 1: He's essentially a dead beat, and the debts have been
35:47
Speaker 1: mounting up, including a celebrity barber who he did not pay,
35:52
Speaker 1: a dentist, a landlord, and he also got loaned a
35:57
Speaker 1: bunch of money, like one hundreds of thousands of dollars
36:00
Speaker 1: from a marketing firm in New York. And this has
36:04
Speaker 1: been going on for years. Even though he's made a
36:08
Speaker 1: lot of money. He had a fifty nine million dollar
36:11
Speaker 1: contract during his career. He's he's earned money, I guess,
36:15
Speaker 1: not the contract total, but the total amount he's earned
36:18
Speaker 1: his over fifty nine million dollars. And while he has
36:21
Speaker 1: not been charged with any crime at this point, the
36:25
Speaker 1: some of the videos that are going around of Malik
36:27
Speaker 1: Beasley being very aggressive to score certain baskets at the
36:30
Speaker 1: end of games makes you wonder, like things that make
36:32
Speaker 1: you go hmmm when you put two and two together.
36:35
Speaker 1: He hadn't been charged with any yet. This is not
36:38
Speaker 1: helpful and from when I've heard, he's not alone though
36:40
Speaker 1: there's a lot This actually happens more than you think.
36:42
Speaker 1: These guys in the NBA make a lot of money,
36:45
Speaker 1: but they didn't really pay much attention, you know, didn't
36:48
Speaker 1: get taught how to balance the books and invest money
36:52
Speaker 1: and save money. And they spend it. As soon as
36:56
Speaker 1: it comes in, it goes out. And so no matter
36:58
Speaker 1: how much you make, it's like the old Patrick. We
37:00
Speaker 1: make a lot of money, we spend a lot of money.
