• 0:10
  Speaker 1: He's out.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Let's get the latest on the Utah Jazz with former
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Jazz assistant coach Gordy Chiasa. If he's forgotten more about
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the NBA than any of us will ever.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Know, Let's not get crazy.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Come for the hoops talk. Stay for his list of
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the day A list today, here's oh Ce with basketball
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: savon Gordy Chiasa on the Sean O'Connell Show.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Come one, Welcome back to the Sean O'Connell Show. Welcome
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: in Gordy Chiasaur, resident NBA guru. Gordy, how are you, sir?
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Sure? And I am doing fight all right?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So we're talking about the approaching trade deadline, and we
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: had we had a hockey guest on yesterday, Tom Callahan,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: who I mentioned something about the Mammoth being at the
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: tail end of rebu Then he pushed back and said, no, no, no, no,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the rebuild is over. It's playoffs or bust. Now a
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: year five, you can't call it a rebuild anymore. And
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: it had me thinking really all night after the show
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: was over and even this morning, and I was like, okay,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: so how long should we allow for rebuilds to take place?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And I think it's different sport by sport, and in
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the NBA your rebuild could be shorter because you get
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: one great talent and then you're able to accelerate that process.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: But we know that the Jazz have been kind of
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: in this phase for a while now. As a rule
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: of thumb, Gordy, do you have a set number of
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: years where like, hey, if you're going to be rebuilding,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: you can only be rebuilding for this long?
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, that will be roughly three to five years.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: All right, So the.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Jazz right now is in the fourth season. The last
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: time that you has made the playoffs was twenty twenty two,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: so that was going to be probably I'm assuming right
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: now that the Jazz are not a playoff team, so
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: be four years now. So next year is a critical
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: year and the Jazz standing right now, with Jazz right
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: now with their record of being fifteen and thirty, which
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: equals to forty five games, it seems to me that
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: they're planning head for next year.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Does Keyante's emergence this year serve as something that changes
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that timeline where he emerged so successfully now you can
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: shave a year off of what you in the front
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: office expected, or are we looking at a guy who
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: just is maybe a pleasant surprise that doesn't change your
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: overall plan.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: He's not a surprise because he's really a talented scorer,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: but he for the Jazz to win, him and his
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: other allies on his team, they have to defend also,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: so the Jazz just for situationally, they have to really
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: just get better overall. But he's a talent, and so
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: is Ace Belly, and so Larry Marketing, and so is
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Walker Kesla. Defensively, he hasn't played. He only played the
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: first five games this year, and so a lot of
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: times it's out of side, out of mind. But the
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Jazz need those four guys to keep accelerating offensively but
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: also defensively, and that's when you'll know more about the Jazz.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: So example, when they're supposed to be built, and also
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: the Thunder. Both those teams don't play good defense with
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: an addition of all their scores. So the Jazz have
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to address that as far as their core guys and
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: the guys in the future draft, and the twenty twenty
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: sixth draft is going to be really it's really one
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to ten. You can make a discussion all ten guys
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: will be value contributors, and the top of the draft
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: is going to be guys that could be franchise difference makers.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: We were talking, because you just mentioned the top of
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: that draft, we were talking a lot about.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Aj Debonsa.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've got a chance to watch
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: BYU versus Kansas, but you know, I think because of
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: what we know about him, how highly compensated he is,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the ranking he had coming out of high school as
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: far as recruiting and things like that, I know it
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: makes me hyper critical in the way that I watch
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: him play. And now you know, I'm starting to ask
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the question. I think he's going to be a great
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: NBA player. I think he's going to figure it out,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: but I'm starting to ask the question about how ready
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: he is for elite elite talent and elite elite competition
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: right now, because the best teams that we've seen BYU
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: play against, he has not necessarily showed his greatness. Against
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: lesser competition, he puts up forty points and ten rebounds
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: and looks like the dominant player we all expected him
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: to be. I don't know if we're seeing that when
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: he's playing against ranked teams and he's playing against teams
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: that have other NBA lottery picks on them. Is that
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a fair assessment? Is that how NBA teams look at
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: guys like that when they're when they're going into games
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: For most NBA teams, and I view would also is
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that visualize him in an NBA game where there's other
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: talented players in the court where they can't really just
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: focus totally on him. So say Kansas and Houston on
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Saturday Night, which another big game for BYU, they play
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Houston Cougar's who is serious defensive team, They're going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: be absolutely more physical, box and one trick defenses, trap
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: defenses versus him to try to get him more of stride.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: So that's what he's dealing with right now. Next year
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: in the NBA and after that, they're going to try
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: to stop them like all talented scorers, but it won't
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: be the same as far as if I don't score
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: right now, it hurts my team dramatically. So he's not
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: ready to be a franchise player because any nineteen years old,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: but absolutely he's talent enough to really be a tremendous
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: player with just more strength and with more allies on
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: the floor as far as the NBA context. So again,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: it you have the future cast out, how you view him,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: he's he'll be a high draft pick, and he will.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: He'll be a tremendous NBA player. Right now in college basketball,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: he's getting different looks against him. They're all trying to
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: solely start, so it's almost like trying to score the
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: ball and make plays where it's showing. It's almost like
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: a five against three. Even though the Cougars have other
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: talented players on the court, they're all focusing on him.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: That's why Richie Sawty is to get into the upward
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: looks because they're all trying to guard him. To Banski.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Gordon Jays that brought to you by our friends over
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: at a Latin Industries, your Utah vlocks dealer. All right,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: So this this trade deadline approaches and every time we talk, it's, hey,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: is something gonna happen with Giannis?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Where's Gianni's gonna end up?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Giannis is the first domino that needs to fall before
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: anything else serious happens. And we're a couple of days
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: away and a lot of teams have made their pitches
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: and a lot of conversations have happened, and the Bucks
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: yesterday apparently were making counteroffers and things like that. Are
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: we closer to knowing what's going to happen with Giannis?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Yes? For closer, yes we are, is that he's probably
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: be traded between now and Thursday at three o'clock East coast,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: East coast time, one o'clock here in Salt Lake City.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: He's probably going to go to one of these four
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: teams New York, Miami, Golden State, or the Timberwolves. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: what Bucks is saying because the Bucks now have made
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: a decision in their war room that we had a
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: great run with Giannis for twelve and a half years,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: one championshipship back in twenty twenty one. They want to
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: have a lot of assets, so they're going to quote
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: rebuild with this starting this draft right now. So I
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: know Bucks, it's hard to believe that that the Bucks
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: right now are in twelve seed in the East with
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: only eighteen wins. The Jets have fifteen wins, Nets will
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: just have thirteen wins, Pats have thirteen wins, Pelicans thirteen wins,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: and King thirteen wins. I'm tired of saying thirteen right now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: And this shows you that. So they're in the bottom six,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: and they're going to use the use. They're going to
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: try to trade Giannis to get as much as they
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: can for him. They're seeking young talent, but more importantly
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: future first round draft picks who can match that as
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: far as what they want, and if not, they're going
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: to do over showing. The week of the draft, which
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: is most times historically will be the fourth week of June.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: New York, Miami, Golden State, and Minnesota.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Is that what you say at Minnesota?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because Minnesota right now, Again, all four of those
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: teams have a short window right now, nixt one to
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: win right now matte Heats who's over achieving right now.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: They think that Giannics could help them is for short
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: term meaning right now. In long term Yannis is ironically,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: he's hurt right now with a right calf strain. He's
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: not coming back probably I'm at a doctor, but not
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: until probably roughly March seventh. They trade for him, He's
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: not going to play for almost a month because of
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: that calf strain. So it's even more different dramatic. So
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: those four teams trade Sewan was going to be possibly
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: James Harden That's the one that I'm thinking about the
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: last half a day. So the Clippers with James Harden
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: trying to move them on because and try to get
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: him to the Cavaliers for Darius Garland. It's actually very
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: interesting if they can pull light off both teams.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: But staying with Giannis here for just a second. Of
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: those four teams, which fit do you like best?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Which would be the most successful landing spot for Giannis?
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Golden State because they have a short term right now,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: they're trying to win, so Giannis would help them come
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: in and be part of that deal. And if I'm
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Golden State, I would throw in Pajenski or Moses Moody
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: to make it work, plus draft picks or even more players.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: So again, Steph Curry's brilliant. They've had four champions already,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: eight times in the NBA Finals. They think they can
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: get one more possibly or at least try to the
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: ultimate before Steph Curry retires, which we know it's going
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: to happen eventually, whether it's next season or the season
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: after that. So that makes the most sense for them
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: and the Warriors. They used to be a risk taker
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: with Jimmy Butler.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Also, when we talk about this being a trade instead
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: of a free agent decision. Does Giannis have any poll,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: any influence with the Milwaukee front office right now? Like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: if you would rather go to Golden State, then the
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Minnesota and the packages can't be identical obviously, but if
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: they're similar, would Milwaukee do him the favor of setting
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: him where he wants to go given everything he's meant
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to the franchise? Or is this a total organizational decision
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: with Gianni's just having to write it.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Out, total decision by your organization. Absolutely, he once had
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: leverage like that, but no more so. It's interesting as
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: always who has leverage showing or perceive leverage as far
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: as the negotiation. A lot of times people have Fool's
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: gold Janni's had that will say last summer, but not now.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: And it's so interesting. In the NBA, the world turns
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: really truly every twenty four hours, and for NBA point
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Guard showing the world turns every twenty four seconds. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: again I'm stuck on twenty four, twenty four hours and
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: twenty four seconds, and just shows you that you think
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: you think you have it all in the control, Sean
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: have it all on the control? It's all about me?
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Oh really, it's all about me sure, and it's not.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: And that's James Harden right now, we'll see what the
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Clippers who Again, they have a short window that can
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: they pulled off and move on James Harden and get
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Darius Garland. So they would gain ten years on the
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: as far as the age of Harden's thirty six and
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Darius Collins twenty six, so it's ten years if you're
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: more intriguing right now. The agents for Darius Caland's Rich
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Paul of Clutch Sports, who's based in la as a factor.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Also now with James Harden, the Clippers hurt his feelings
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: when they said to him recently that we're not going
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: to extend you. He wanted two more years, eighty million
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: dollars extension. They said we're not. And so that's what's accelerated.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: I get me out of here and that's where excited
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: the last two three days. That's been really interesting. Now
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: from the cabs point of view, I wouldn't do it
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: because suddenly Donvan Mitchell and have next to him a
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: sidekick James Harden, who is absolutely ball dominant. So he
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: dominates the ball and he's a really alcoholm sewn on
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: a good day, a casual defender James Harden. If I'm
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell, I don't want him on my team. So
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: we'll see who wins that. As far as the decision making,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Let's go quickly about James Harden though historically what he's
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: done that as far as how he plays, is that
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: he always wants to be in the center of intention
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: of attention and that's really sets back so many franchises.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: So he's been traded. You've been trade so back in
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: twenty twelve he left the Thunder with that crew of
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Westbrook and also with that Kevin Durant to go to
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: the Rockets because the Thunder wouldn't extend him. And twenty one,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty one, he left the Rockets to the Nets
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: because the Nets were starting over he wanted to be
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: the focal point. In twenty twenty two, Nets got tired
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: of him. They trade him to seventy six is because
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: the next minute of the mistake they trede him for
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Ben Simmons just to get rid of Harden. In twenty
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: twenty three, the Sixers moving on to the Clippers over
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: a contract dispute with the seventy six ers. And now
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: who you are twenty twenty six, the Clippers are going
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: to trade him to question them UK, possibly the Calves
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: or someone else the next day or two because of
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: what because of an extension as far as they can
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: get one. So you see it, he's a problem.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Well, it feels like everyone kind of knows that at
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: this point, Gordy.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: So when Sean, I love it, we you're saying, Sean,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I love what you're saying right now. I know where
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: you're going out before you even said it. Out of it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Obvious is never obvious to the oblivious.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, but I mean I'm as close to oblivious as
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: you can be when it comes to NBA basketball and
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I look at somebody like James Harden and I say, Wow,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: that's a guy who will help you win regular season
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: basketball games and they'll score you some points. And every
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: team that has ever had him has come up short
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: in their playoff expectations, their championship expectations. So I know
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: it's not all his fault, but it's kind of off
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: his fault. So when will teams start treating.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: It that way?
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Never? Never, because because everyone's likes the talent level, because
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: he's a talented player. We're talking to a lifetime score
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: of twenty five points a game and roughly nine dimes.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: So he's a talented offensive player. And that's why teams
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: always say these magical words, Oh, on our team and
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: with our chemistry, we can get him on our page.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: As far as the winning, that's what they say. If
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: he acts the Thunder, the Rockets, the Nets, the seventy sixers,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: and now the Clippers, they're saying no, so again showing
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: these magical words of Gordon. She's it. The obvious is
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: not be obvious to the oblivious. I likes right right now.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: If you're driving right now, two fifteen or I fifteen,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: use those words right now your next meeting when you
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: can't say at a meeting in business where you send
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: yourself these awful words. I can't believe what I'm hearing
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: at this meeting right now. This is so far from reality.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: Philip Blankson was an insurance company? Was it a basketball team?
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Was it NFL team? Was it a baseball team? Was
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: it was it some sort of a medical team.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: So this is an unfair question.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: But we're talking about all star, big time, all star
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: level players like Johannis, talking about James Harden and there's
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: always going to be something that comes back, right.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: It's not just picks. There's gonna be some packages. Players.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: You mentioned Darius Garland, who is the non All Star
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: that you could see getting moved this trade deadline that
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: will be most impactful to whichever team he lands on.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: A non All star.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Jim McCollum. He got the trader ready to Delanta Hawks,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: and McCollum could be also out there again the next
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: day or two because everyone every really good team and
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: the Hawks are trying to bite, fighting claw to get
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: into the into the playing tournament. But if again, if
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: I'm if I'm the Hawks, you might be use CJ.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: McCollum for another trade. So everybody wants him on their
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: team because he's a shot maker. He's thirty three years young.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: He knows how to play the game with and without
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: the ball. And if I'm the team that needs a
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: guard again, if I'm the Cavaliers, I read on my
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: team Jjim McCallum and James Harden to play alongside of
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell. So he'd be out there right now, should be,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: and I would take him. I would take them right away, all.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Right, Gordy, what's your list? Today.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: All right, my list today and it's right our segment,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: so you know I didn't talk but this is right
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: on sigment about about the college draft and how some
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: the bans are tight people. Hey, are they impactful right away?
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Will?
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: It takes X amount of years. Here's the list right now,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the NBA players who are selected to be an All
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Star Game in the rookie season. The NBA players that
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: made their All Star Game rookie season. But I broke
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: it down to really from nineteen eighty until present, so
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: it's forty six years. It's a very short list. Hey,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: we all thought possibly that Cooper Flag was going to
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: turn around the Mavericks and right away be a knockout punch.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: And that guy is very good. That's the first premise
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, he's very good. Didn't make the All Star team.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Here's the guys it's since nineteen eighty that have made
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: the All Star Team as a rookie. In nineteen eighty
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: rookies Bill Cartwright of the Knicks, Larry Bird of the Celtics,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: and Magic Johnson of the Lakers. Nineteen eighty two, Buck
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Williams of the Nets, Kelly Chapuka of the Pistons, Isaiah
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Thomas of the Pistons in nineteen eighty four, Ralph Sampson
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty five, a guy named Michael Jordan of
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: the Bulls and a King Arajiwan of the Rockets in
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: nineteen eighty six, Patrick Ewing of the Knicks in nineteen ninety,
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: David Robinson of the Spurs in nineteen ninety two, to
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Kemvin Mutumbo of the Nuggets in nineteen ninety three, Shaquille
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: O'Neal of the Magic in nineteen ninety five, Grand Hell
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: of the Pistons, nineteen ninety eight, Tim Duncan of the
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Spurs two thousand and three, Yao Ming of the Rockets
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: and had the last name. It happened in twenty eleven.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: So this is right now two thousand and twenty six,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: so it's been basically fifteen years since a guy of
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: rookie made the All Star Team. The last guy to
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: do it was Blake Griffith of the Clippers. So and
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: the reason why is this the other guys are good
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: in the NBA and now with now with most of
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: the players entering the NBA at a way too young age,
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: almost as teenagers, or a guy to the young twenties.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: They mostly lack inexperience, and there's a strength issue, a
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: lack of yet they're all what athletically gifted. This is
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: a man's league, whether it's the NBA or the NFL.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: That's my list of today.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Who's the strongest guy in today's NBA? You think speaking
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of that, that that man's league?
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: All right, strongest guy in the NBA, Steven Adams.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I was about to say, you hear like, I mean,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: he's hurt right now, right.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: But you hear these these.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Legendary stories about how and it makes sense when you
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: get like it's one of seventeen kids or something and
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: his size, Yes, makes sense.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: He's strong, and he's and you if you hate them
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: in New Zealand, which means what he has no fear
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: of anything.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I love you well, I'd probably be afraid of my
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: sevent to my sixteen brothers and sisters if I was him.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: But that's that's neither here nor there.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Now you're fight, you're fighting at the dinner table. You're fighting.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: You get a piece of chicken.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And they're all giant, by the way, every single one
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: of them is huge like him. So good luck feeding
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: that brood.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: So this week's for the listener. This is the NBA
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: trading deadline. It's going to be so interesting. The jazz
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: we'll see might make something as far as on the
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: on the margins, trying to move on a player or
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: two on that a contract is up on the divide
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: julyfe first and try to acquire some assets that meaning
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: maybe some future second round picks. So that's what the
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: jazz probably might consider.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Gordian I was appreciate your time, sir, Thanks very.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Much, thanks and peace out.
• 22:02
