Latest / Mac & Bone Podcast / Mac & Bone Hour 4: How Real Are the Steph Curry/Hornets Rumors
Transcript
- 0:19Speaker 1: And the last one.
- 0:20Speaker 2: Of course, you have to mention the Hornets, who have
- 0:22Speaker 2: all the ingredients and would surely just not It would
- 0:25Speaker 2: not be Brandon Miller or Continent, but they're not doing that.
- 0:28Speaker 2: It would probably have to involve one of nasriederor Kobe White,
- 0:32Speaker 2: who are neither of whom are tradable yet but under
- 0:34Speaker 2: NBA rules, another salary, and then a bunch of picks,
- 0:37Speaker 2: and the Hornets also have the bonus of like the
- 0:39Speaker 2: Warriors could get the Mavericks pick that the Hornets have,
- 0:42Speaker 2: and other picks that are not just the Hornets pick
- 0:44Speaker 2: to give them as many bites at other teams failing
- 0:47Speaker 2: as possible. Those are really the only those are the
- 0:50Speaker 2: only teams that I could make a legitar argument.
- 0:53Speaker 1: For Zach Lowe.
- 0:55Speaker 3: He's in that growing contingent that's a Zach Little podcast,
- 0:58Speaker 3: growing contingent bone of national media members that are trying
- 1:02Speaker 3: to actually will a player via trade to Charlotte. I
- 1:06Speaker 3: will say this, you and I we'll talk about it here.
- 1:08Speaker 3: You and I have our doubts about trading for Steph. Now,
- 1:12Speaker 3: if he wants to come as a free agent next year,
- 1:14Speaker 3: that could be something, but come on home.
- 1:16Speaker 1: But I will say this.
- 1:19Speaker 3: It does warm my heart that the national media wants
- 1:23Speaker 3: a star player in Charlotte, because I got to tell you,
- 1:26Speaker 3: whether it's Hornets of the Panthers, that doesn't normally happen.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Usually, they're trying to figure out.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Charlotte's got a good player, how do we get them
- 1:33Speaker 3: to a franchise in a city we care about?
- 1:36Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 1:36Speaker 3: Pisses me off on the regular, So this is a
- 1:40Speaker 3: welcome change. I think they will say that.
- 1:41Speaker 4: I think that they want Steph to matter and not
- 1:46Speaker 4: that Charlotte right now is what we consider a main contender.
- 1:50Speaker 4: But with Brandon Miller and Kahn, who CON's loved by
- 1:53Speaker 4: the media, I think there are some that are seeing
- 1:56Speaker 4: Steph Kahn Miller trio and what that could be. And
- 2:00Speaker 4: with the Warriors right now, I think part of this
- 2:03Speaker 4: is they're not really going anywhere. So the last few
- 2:06Speaker 4: years that are the best of Steph, are they going
- 2:09Speaker 4: to be buried? Or can we get a story wine
- 2:11Speaker 4: where Steph goes somewhere else? And I did That's kind
- 2:14Speaker 4: of what the media want, is well, and Charlotte probably
- 2:16Speaker 4: makes the most sense because of his connections to Charlotte
- 2:19Speaker 4: and the amount of resources that they have. Yes, yeah,
- 2:21Speaker 4: I think they want them out at Golden State now
- 2:23Speaker 4: because they're not going anywhere.
- 2:24Speaker 3: But I would have still thought that they would be
- 2:26Speaker 3: hand picking the usual contenders, you know what, I mean
- 2:29Speaker 3: to get him on, But like Miami with Giannis and
- 2:33Speaker 3: Bam or something.
- 2:34Speaker 1: But the hometown, you know a thing. It actually looks
- 2:37Speaker 1: like they care about us.
- 2:39Speaker 3: They care about Charlotte and the hometown kid coming home
- 2:42Speaker 3: and listen.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I will say this, I don't want them trading for them.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I don't want our asset.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Pool to be used up you know that way, especially
- 2:50Speaker 3: when Steph's a free agent after the season. I want
- 2:53Speaker 3: it used on younger stud player to add at some
- 2:57Speaker 3: point in time. But I will say this. You just say,
- 3:00Speaker 3: Charles Lee, the way we want to play, the way
- 3:02Speaker 3: we want to hoist threes, and you get those.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Three dudes on the court together. Are you freaking kidding me? Oh,
- 3:07Speaker 4: there's no doubt the entertainment. If you thought we were
- 3:11Speaker 4: darling with with Kahn, you throw Steph with Kahn. Imagine
- 3:15Speaker 4: how they really talked about So there is something to
- 3:17Speaker 4: be said for that. I'm getting a lot.
- 3:20Speaker 3: I noticed a lot bone when we talked about this,
- 3:22Speaker 3: and we certainly haven't talked about this as much as
- 3:25Speaker 3: say Walker mail. We joked about yesterday Bone, somebody was
- 3:31Speaker 3: saying he wants to give seven picks away. Turns out
- 3:34Speaker 3: that was a joke he made on his podcast on
- 3:36Speaker 3: the on the Locked On Hornets podcast Mac. But he yes, Bone,
- 3:41Speaker 3: how long we said he walked in yesterday? We said
- 3:46Speaker 3: we got to talk about this Steph Curry thing. A
- 3:48Speaker 3: half hour later, Bone, I was begging, can I escape Walker?
- 3:52Speaker 1: Can I get out of here? Can I go home? Please?
- 3:55Speaker 3: This dude I know work for him. He is passionate
- 4:00Speaker 3: about getting Steph Curry. He did say two draft picks.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I think two first rounders.
- 4:04Speaker 4: I think he said he was shack you were Greg
- 4:06Speaker 4: Oster Tac and he just wore you down for.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Dunking on me and pulling the rim down right on
- 4:11Speaker 1: the top of my head.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Man. Anyway, Brassel went down in the middle of the discussion,
- 4:17Speaker 4: and then Walker stopped and then he got back into it.
- 4:21Speaker 4: It's unbelievable his passion and intensity about this. But any
- 4:25Speaker 4: of USA dia bade I want to start.
- 4:27Speaker 3: But anyway, I've seen a lot on the text line, Bone,
- 4:30Speaker 3: We're on Twitter of people saying, why are we talking
- 4:33Speaker 3: about this Stephan Charlotte thing? This ain't happening, man, this
- 4:36Speaker 3: is a pipe dream. You've been talking about this for years.
- 4:40Speaker 3: I want to know what y'all think about this out there.
- 4:43Speaker 3: Do you guys feel like like we got we got
- 4:45Speaker 3: hit with one of these bone on these hurtful comments.
- 4:47Speaker 4: You guys just looking for July radio topics. He's number
- 4:52Speaker 4: one in the bed online odds to be a hornet.
- 4:55Speaker 4: It's number one in the odds and it's not even close.
- 4:57Speaker 4: It's two to three odds the next closest history one.
- 5:00Speaker 4: That's a huge difference. So I will It's also the
- 5:03Speaker 4: national media too. It's not just us here in Charlotte,
- 5:06Speaker 4: and I would argue, Bone, we've been obsessing over you know,
- 5:09Speaker 4: football practice, way more, way more than we have.
- 5:13Speaker 3: The Steph Curry thing. As far as you and I go,
- 5:16Speaker 3: what do y'all think? And I'll start with you, but
- 5:18Speaker 3: I want text on this. Do you guys view this
- 5:21Speaker 3: as it's possible in a trade, possible in free agency,
- 5:26Speaker 3: or do you guys hear this and roll your eyes
- 5:28Speaker 3: like Steph Curry's never coming home? Stop talking about how
- 5:31Speaker 3: do you view this bone. Is it different this time
- 5:34Speaker 3: because I feel like in the past you would roll
- 5:36Speaker 3: your eyes.
- 5:36Speaker 4: I think it's definitely different because things have changed with
- 5:39Speaker 4: the Warriors are finally conceding that the run is over.
- 5:42Speaker 4: For so long, he didn't feel like they're ever willing
- 5:44Speaker 4: to give up. They'd add stuff, they'd do stuff, they
- 5:47Speaker 4: were trying to keep the dying dynasty alive. And now
- 5:51Speaker 4: it looks like it's finally coming to an end and
- 5:53Speaker 4: Steph's gonna move on. I think he eventually does move on.
- 5:57Speaker 4: I think most likely, if he's gonna be a Hornet,
- 6:00Speaker 4: it's going to have to be in free agency. But
- 6:02Speaker 4: there's a pretty good go between there in del Curry
- 6:06Speaker 4: where you can gauge along the way your chances, how
- 6:10Speaker 4: he's feeling. You have the ability to talk to Steph
- 6:13Speaker 4: Curry's dad whatever you want to and get to feel
- 6:16Speaker 4: for what it may take. So instead of even working
- 6:19Speaker 4: with an agent, you've got Dell there as a go
- 6:21Speaker 4: between where you're constantly gonna know what he's feeling, You're
- 6:24Speaker 4: gonna know what the Warriors are thinking. You've got del
- 6:27Speaker 4: Curry right there, but as a resource that's gonna be
- 6:29Speaker 4: big for them.
- 6:30Speaker 3: That's what I was saying to Walker Bone when he
- 6:32Speaker 3: finally let me get a word in and stop going
- 6:35Speaker 3: off about why we need to bring in Steph Curry.
- 6:37Speaker 3: And I don't know if you can relate moan if
- 6:39Speaker 3: you've ever talked sports with someone that won't let you
- 6:41Speaker 3: get a word in like it it was. I don't
- 6:43Speaker 3: know if you've ever felt that, but it was driving me.
- 6:45Speaker 4: To that would plum me in therapy and make me
- 6:48Speaker 4: gamble and drink all day long. Anyway, going all right,
- 6:51Speaker 4: so anyway I can't, I can't. But anyway I was
- 6:54Speaker 4: making that point.
- 6:55Speaker 3: I know you've made that point, Like you don't need
- 6:58Speaker 3: to go try to get him right now. I feel
- 7:00Speaker 3: like with the LaMelo trade they proved I think they
- 7:03Speaker 3: still want to be competitive this year, but they're not
- 7:05Speaker 3: dead set on, hey, we got to take some big
- 7:08Speaker 3: jump this year. They want to get to a point
- 7:10Speaker 3: where when they make their big moves, they can sustain
- 7:12Speaker 3: success and be a champion, legit championship contender for years.
- 7:17Speaker 3: And so to me with Steph, it's like, we don't
- 7:19Speaker 3: have to give up the assets. Literally go through that
- 7:23Speaker 3: line of communication with Dell and be like, hey, if
- 7:26Speaker 3: we wait till free agency? What do you want to
- 7:29Speaker 3: come back here? Because it could be fun gauge's interest
- 7:31Speaker 3: on that and get back to us. And also you
- 7:33Speaker 3: could even go through Dell on the contract. I know
- 7:35Speaker 3: Dell's not his agent, he's damn Dad, But like that link, Bone,
- 7:39Speaker 3: you can you know, you can kind of use that
- 7:42Speaker 3: to figure out can we get them in free agency?
- 7:45Speaker 3: Because and can we get him to take a rate
- 7:47Speaker 3: that's way lower than his you know, sixty million that
- 7:50Speaker 3: he's making. Now, as far as like, are we because
- 7:53Speaker 3: here's someone else right here, I have to be honest.
- 7:57Speaker 3: I do realize that a lot of people are talking
- 8:00Speaker 3: about it nationally, but it does kind of feel like
- 8:02Speaker 3: a topic that is just occupying everybody in the off season.
- 8:06Speaker 3: To that point, to those accusations, Bone, I know a
- 8:09Speaker 3: July topic when I see one, all right. It's when
- 8:12Speaker 3: we talk about things like Fitti's non existent love life.
- 8:14Speaker 1: All right, that's a July topic.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Now, as far as this, this feels way more real
- 8:20Speaker 3: than it ever has. I have never really boned gotten
- 8:23Speaker 3: into the bring Steph home here because I've always thought
- 8:27Speaker 3: the time it would happen would be at the tail
- 8:29Speaker 3: end of his career, and I never really got into
- 8:32Speaker 3: it the way a lot of fans have. This one
- 8:34Speaker 3: feels different. It just does the faculty, the free agent
- 8:38Speaker 3: in a year, the fact that Vegas has it, the
- 8:40Speaker 3: fact that NBA insiders are talking it up. All this
- 8:44Speaker 3: stuff has never happened before. Usually it's just Panther fans
- 8:47Speaker 3: on social media or Hornet fans on social media.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Yeah, it's being talked about nationally and the odds barn out.
- 8:52Speaker 4: So who are we to ignore that? If it's being
- 8:54Speaker 4: talked about nationally. If Vegas thinks that the Hornets are
- 8:57Speaker 4: the favorite, no matter when that is, he's a local legend,
- 9:01Speaker 4: why would we not Todd July, April May whatever. That's
- 9:05Speaker 4: something worth talking about now. How this may play out
- 9:09Speaker 4: in free agency will be interesting. Do the Hornets Matt
- 9:13Speaker 4: get him on a deal that's friendly than them because
- 9:16Speaker 4: he's at that point in his life and his career
- 9:19Speaker 4: where it's time to be a Hornet, or does a
- 9:23Speaker 4: team offer him substantially more and he ends up going
- 9:28Speaker 4: to one of those teams and he ends up maybe
- 9:31Speaker 4: in the Ray Allen portion of his career where Boston
- 9:34Speaker 4: Miami does he does he does he lash onto a
- 9:36Speaker 4: team that's very close to a championship one of those days.
- 9:40Speaker 4: I don't know how that may play out, but I
- 9:42Speaker 4: think that's probably gonna be the.
- 9:43Speaker 3: Decision he estimate, And to that point, I don't get
- 9:46Speaker 3: in a bidding war for him. Lebron James just signed
- 9:48Speaker 3: in Philly for four million dollars a year, right, I'm
- 9:53Speaker 3: not saying it's going to be four million dollars a year,
- 9:55Speaker 3: but I do want a hometown discount because and a
- 9:58Speaker 3: lot of people are bringing this up. Does it it
- 10:00Speaker 3: even makes sense? He's going to be thirty nine soon. Ye,
- 10:02Speaker 3: he'll be thirty nine in the spring before the season ends.
- 10:05Speaker 3: I'm not at the point bone where I'm trying to
- 10:07Speaker 3: break the bank to bring him in, because, again, what's
- 10:10Speaker 3: Jeff Peterson's words, He uses sustain success. That's not to me.
- 10:16Speaker 3: That's not how you sustain success. Even though I love
- 10:19Speaker 3: Steph by getting a thirty nine year old, but if
- 10:22Speaker 3: you can get him to take a hometown discount, then
- 10:25Speaker 3: I would be in. I'm also not in and giving
- 10:27Speaker 3: draft assets. I don't even want to give up two
- 10:29Speaker 3: first round picks. I want to save those things bone
- 10:32Speaker 3: so when we pounce, it's a younger player that has
- 10:36Speaker 3: more years and is in a portion of his career
- 10:39Speaker 3: where he hopefully he Con and Brandon are like a
- 10:42Speaker 3: legit Big three, not saying they wouldn't be a great trio,
- 10:46Speaker 3: but like how much longer Steph have left. Also, people
- 10:49Speaker 3: don't bring this up enough.
- 10:50Speaker 1: And I'm not at the level, at the level worth
- 10:52Speaker 1: trading for.
- 10:53Speaker 3: Yes, I'm not trying to jink them here, but like listen,
- 10:57Speaker 3: he was great last year when he played great, like
- 10:59Speaker 3: legit great, only seven points a game, I mean, looked amazing,
- 11:03Speaker 3: but he played about half the games. I don't hear
- 11:06Speaker 3: people bring this up. We sure as he gets close
- 11:10Speaker 3: to forty.
- 11:11Speaker 4: And you just traded and you just traded, You just
- 11:13Speaker 4: traded your young star because we feel like you may
- 11:15Speaker 4: not trust his ankles and his body.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Yeah, are we sure that he's going that it's he's
- 11:19Speaker 3: going to play a lot of you know what I mean,
- 11:22Speaker 3: most of the games or did last year was at
- 11:24Speaker 3: the start of you know what i mean, his body
- 11:27Speaker 3: getting old.
- 11:28Speaker 4: You know, I'm willing to go out of my way
- 11:30Speaker 4: back if Steph wants to sign here next off season.
- 11:33Speaker 4: You don't wanting to do mac, I'm willing to go.
- 11:37Speaker 4: I'm willing to go out there, and I've talked to
- 11:42Speaker 4: the people. I will get part of seventy seven named
- 11:46Speaker 4: after Steph Curry. We're gonna call it the Steph Curry Interchange.
- 11:50Speaker 4: I'm gonna do that for Steph because that's how much
- 11:52Speaker 4: we love you here right there by exit number thirty
- 11:55Speaker 4: in Davidson.
- 11:56Speaker 1: We're gonna get that named after Steph.
- 11:58Speaker 4: I feel like that might have already happened. What oh,
- 12:01Speaker 4: that's the same guy. I didn't realize that, Okay, that
- 12:04Speaker 4: Steph Curry was just a guy that donated. Okay, by
- 12:07Speaker 4: the way, when's actually thirty five? When's my when's my
- 12:12Speaker 4: interchange coming? You want the t bone highway? You know
- 12:14Speaker 4: what you're looking for, ruggish bone interchange Bone. This guy's
- 12:18Speaker 4: thinking of you on the text line seven oh four
- 12:21Speaker 4: number way Norman James.
- 12:22Speaker 1: By the way, Mack did not get to sarka. Were
- 12:24Speaker 1: you of the year?
- 12:25Speaker 3: Yeah, there's always one that bone sarcasm with a fool.
- 12:28Speaker 3: There's always one as far as uh as this guy
- 12:32Speaker 3: calling you out says, bone can't believe you're not driving
- 12:37Speaker 3: the Chris Paul back to the tar Heel State Wagon.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I feel like You've tried that a couple of times.
- 12:42Speaker 4: I think Chris Paul is ready to go into his
- 12:45Speaker 4: uh coaching career here at some point.
- 12:46Speaker 3: So that's where I think he's had it. Yeah, I mean, hell,
- 12:49Speaker 3: he's been a coach as a player for years. Sometimes
- 12:51Speaker 3: the players like it, sometimes they don't. By the way,
- 12:54Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not focused on Chris Paul last night.
- 12:56Speaker 3: I'm focused on my, uh my other athlete friend that
- 12:59Speaker 3: I was textingyesterday.
- 13:00Speaker 4: Luke Keickley says, alttle back you go? Oh, is he
- 13:03Speaker 4: coming on the show? That's awesome? No, okay, but he
- 13:06Speaker 4: said a lot of typical Luke fashion, though he thanked
- 13:09Speaker 4: us for all we do, and he said he's too
- 13:12Speaker 4: busy right now. Back, but it's not with the Hall
- 13:14Speaker 4: of Fame stuff. He's too busy coaching the kids in
- 13:17Speaker 4: the mornings. So that's why he's too busy right now.
- 13:20Speaker 3: It's are you you choosing the junior high football players
- 13:24Speaker 3: over us? Luke?
- 13:25Speaker 4: How dare you choose the kids over the back and Bone?
- 13:28Speaker 4: Butlukeley replied, Chris Paul never does.
- 13:31Speaker 3: There's where's the report from Bone that the uh you said?
- 13:36Speaker 3: There's an article about the Warriors out there ESPN dot com.
- 13:39Speaker 4: The Warriors writer Anthony Slater did a long form piece
- 13:43Speaker 4: on where the Warriors are their offseason, and it has
- 13:46Speaker 4: a boy of about the Hornets trying to trade up
- 13:48Speaker 4: in the draft to number eleven, uh for fourteen and
- 13:52Speaker 4: some other pick? So the Hornets were eyeing number eleven
- 13:55Speaker 4: in the draft?
- 13:56Speaker 1: Was that? So they were one fourteen and eighteen?
- 13:58Speaker 3: Though both it was fourteen and then another and other
- 14:00Speaker 3: type of picks, probably a couple of our four hundred
- 14:04Speaker 3: and sixty two second rounders that Jeff Peterson has bony
- 14:08Speaker 3: So was it for Yackxelle? I wonder that's who Golden
- 14:11Speaker 3: State picked and he went out there and won the
- 14:12Speaker 3: MVP of the summer League.
- 14:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it. I didn't it didn't. I have
- 14:18Speaker 4: to read the piece, but I don't. I don't know
- 14:20Speaker 4: who it was for. Was it or was it to
- 14:22Speaker 4: take honness? Were they starting to get antsy that he
- 14:24Speaker 4: might not make it to him?
- 14:26Speaker 5: You know?
- 14:26Speaker 3: Because because Mares Johnson was gone right at nine? Yeah,
- 14:30Speaker 3: so it's not for him. It's interesting. Mara was gone
- 14:33Speaker 3: too right already was way up there? Oh yeah, where
- 14:36Speaker 3: was or where was Maa? Because ma was he? Where
- 14:40Speaker 3: was he at or was it Maraw? As we go
- 14:44Speaker 3: together here twelve he was on the board? Is it
- 14:47Speaker 3: for a diamond?
- 14:50Speaker 1: He was not.
- 14:50Speaker 4: We thought he may go six seven eight in that area,
- 14:53Speaker 4: but Golden State didn't want to do it. They drafted
- 14:55Speaker 4: yacksll with steinbad. I bet you was Maw. That's interesting.
- 14:58Speaker 4: So we'll be tracked both those guys careers, Honey, we
- 15:01Speaker 4: will and Mara because of that.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Maybe they were trying to go out and get them.
- 15:05Speaker 4: When we come back, we're gonna talk to television's Nick
- 15:08Speaker 4: Carboni of WCNC. He's been at Panther camp, he's been
- 15:12Speaker 4: at the All Star Game last night, He's been everywhere.
- 15:15Speaker 4: We're gonna talk to Nick. It's been a while. Coming

- 16:24Speaker 3: be a midnight. I know Fitty wants to take us
- 16:27Speaker 3: out and about all night to two in the morning.
- 16:30Speaker 3: I can't do that. Fitty, all right, this is back.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Gonna have a confew for me. Does a lot of
- 16:36Speaker 3: until two in the morning?
- 16:36Speaker 6: Get me?
- 16:37Speaker 1: Does?
- 16:38Speaker 3: She knows that she gets too worried about him. By
- 16:40Speaker 3: the way, I hate to do this to mom. Yesterday
- 16:44Speaker 3: we were having the conversation. We having the conversation about
- 16:49Speaker 3: the University of Maryland gas study and it revealed that
- 16:53Speaker 3: women uh fart an average of four point eight times
- 16:57Speaker 3: a day and men are five point two times. And
- 17:00Speaker 3: I said, that is amazing. How is he that close?
- 17:02Speaker 3: And we had guys texting in including big texts, to
- 17:06Speaker 3: tell us how much their wives pass gas. And Fitty
- 17:11Speaker 3: told us that mama is a chronic farder. Do you
- 17:15Speaker 3: feel good about yourself? You outed the guy's mama.
- 17:19Speaker 4: I'm sorry? Why did he tell us? Though he kept
- 17:22Speaker 4: that quiet? Say it on the ear. You outed a
- 17:25Speaker 4: deep dark family secret.
- 17:26Speaker 1: And this is he does? Is he new here? Okay?
- 17:29Speaker 1: Is he new here? He knows what he was, what
- 17:31Speaker 1: he was doing. She doesn't listen to the show. It's
- 17:34Speaker 1: it's all. It's all safe and sound.
- 17:37Speaker 3: He said, Mama, sounds like a damn brass horn section.
- 17:41Speaker 1: I didn't say that. We get the CARBONI.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Oh, okay, that's right, Nick, Carboni old, I don't know she.
- 17:49Speaker 1: I feel bad about what I did there. Probably I
- 17:51Speaker 1: just thought.
- 17:51Speaker 3: It was a funny tidbit to let the audience here.
- 17:53Speaker 3: I thought I thought it was a funny tidbit.
- 17:55Speaker 1: All right.
- 17:56Speaker 3: Anyway, so that pool is actually a Q jacuzzi?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Is what you're telling me? Fitty?
- 18:02Speaker 5: All right?
- 18:02Speaker 3: Anyway to the damn guess I'm sorry, all right, Nick
- 18:04Speaker 3: Carbony doesn't serve. He does not deserve to way through this.
- 18:08Speaker 3: He's been out there covering training camp. We want to
- 18:10Speaker 3: get his thoughts on what he's been seeing. The offense,
- 18:13Speaker 3: by all accounts, has three straight days of winning the day,
- 18:16Speaker 3: including what sounded like a dominant performance yesterday. Nick Carboney,
- 18:20Speaker 3: Sports director w CNC joins us in the Back and
- 18:24Speaker 3: Bone show, Nick, what is going on?
- 18:26Speaker 5: Man?
- 18:26Speaker 1: Sorry to hold jump for that content. Nick, what's going on?
- 18:29Speaker 6: Brother? Did you guys just bring me on to a
- 18:32Speaker 6: what the bleach segment?
- 18:35Speaker 4: I gotta be honest, I don't know. That was an
- 18:37Speaker 4: odd transition to you here. Asn't planned. I just I
- 18:40Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know how that happened. I'll I'll
- 18:42Speaker 4: have to review the tape on that, Nick, I don't
- 18:43Speaker 4: know how that happened. I had four hours to talk
- 18:45Speaker 4: about mall you did it right now? What do you
- 18:48Speaker 4: what do you think?
- 18:49Speaker 3: As I try to segue so badly here, what do
- 18:53Speaker 3: you do you think of the offense having three day
- 18:57Speaker 3: big days in a row? I know, I guess it
- 19:01Speaker 3: depends if you're positive or negative. If you're positive, you're
- 19:04Speaker 3: gonna love it for the offense. If you're a negative
- 19:07Speaker 3: type fan, you're gonna say, I'm worried about the defense.
- 19:09Speaker 5: What have you?
- 19:10Speaker 1: What do you make of what we've seen out there?
- 19:13Speaker 6: Yeah, we're really gassing up the offense the last ye. Sorry, Yeah, No,
- 19:21Speaker 6: I think it's a more encouraging sign for the past game,
- 19:25Speaker 6: specifically the way Bryce Young has looked in command and control,
- 19:29Speaker 6: and you know he's doing it against the top cornerbacks.
- 19:34Speaker 6: Now back on the field for team drills and some
- 19:36Speaker 6: of these type of drills that are really you know,
- 19:39Speaker 6: competitive with Mike Jackson and JC Horn. Kind of building
- 19:42Speaker 6: back up after just a slightly slow start getting back
- 19:45Speaker 6: into forum for camp, and it was a build up
- 19:48Speaker 6: for the offense. I mean we started hearing about it
- 19:50Speaker 6: someday like this was their bounce back defense had the
- 19:52Speaker 6: first couple of days. Now Bryce Young and the offense
- 19:55Speaker 6: are kind of winning more each day. And yesterday, i
- 19:58Speaker 6: mean Bryce was dicing and he's spreading it out, as
- 20:01Speaker 6: you guys mentioned earlier in the segment before we went
- 20:04Speaker 6: into the Mama discussion. But he's spreading it out and
- 20:09Speaker 6: obviously a receiver unfortunately drops yesterday. But you know, we've
- 20:14Speaker 6: seen Leeget make really good plays this camp. We've seen
- 20:18Speaker 6: te Mac. I mean I was talking to a couple
- 20:21Speaker 6: of people. I've been here since twenty sixteen. I have
- 20:23Speaker 6: not seen a receiver catch the ball as cleanly as
- 20:27Speaker 6: t Mac does. It's a thing of beauty and it's
- 20:29Speaker 6: really helpful to Bryce Young he can put it just
- 20:31Speaker 6: about anywhere in that radius. And Jaim reed, as you
- 20:35Speaker 6: guys have discussed David Moore, who checks two big boxes
- 20:38Speaker 6: for a guy yet again trying to make this team
- 20:41Speaker 6: and probably gonna make this team, and that's the quarterback
- 20:43Speaker 6: trusts him and the coach trusts him. So I think
- 20:45Speaker 6: it's a lot about Bryce's command and control and his
- 20:48Speaker 6: ability to make anticipatory throws and having that timing down
- 20:52Speaker 6: with a lot of these guys out there, and that
- 20:54Speaker 6: showed up yesterday and I think you know what we
- 20:57Speaker 6: heard from j C. Horn and Mike Jack was like, yeah,
- 20:59Speaker 6: they're not happy they kind of lost the day, but
- 21:01Speaker 6: they were kind of tipping their hats to Bryce. Yoga.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Nick, what do you think about the brasl injury? It
- 21:06Speaker 4: feels like we've got kind of multiple schools of thought here.
- 21:09Speaker 4: There are some guys at text of the show and said,
- 21:12Speaker 4: what's the big deal, He's a rookie. Whide out some
- 21:14Speaker 4: people because it's another injury. It's kind of a sky
- 21:18Speaker 4: is falling. We keep losing guys mentality. Where do you
- 21:21Speaker 4: what do you think of the brassl injury. In terms
- 21:23Speaker 4: of impact that I'll have on this offense.
- 21:26Speaker 6: Yeah, I certainly think it's kind of in between that.
- 21:29Speaker 6: I mean, it's not sky is falling. You're not expecting
- 21:31Speaker 6: this guy to be a top two receiver on the
- 21:34Speaker 6: roster right now, but it is significant you group it
- 21:37Speaker 6: in with the other injuries. It's like you're holding your
- 21:39Speaker 6: breath every day out there hoping somebody else doesn't go down,
- 21:42Speaker 6: and every time somebody slips, like Jonathan Brooks, like you're
- 21:45Speaker 6: wondering if they're gonna if the cart's gonna come out.
- 21:48Speaker 6: But Brazil is a guy that could have had an
- 21:50Speaker 6: immediate impact on this offense. He can affect where even
- 21:54Speaker 6: Temac lines up. He can do a little bit more
- 21:56Speaker 6: than just run the go route. But certainly that's what
- 22:00Speaker 6: he gives you that you don't have in a significant
- 22:04Speaker 6: way on this offense. He gives you the ability to potentially,
- 22:08Speaker 6: we thought we were going to see to see if
- 22:10Speaker 6: he can give them ability to take the top off
- 22:13Speaker 6: of the defense and free things up underneath. So hopefully
- 22:17Speaker 6: that happens. But you know, it's a slow start to
- 22:21Speaker 6: his rookie season, and sometimes that doesn't lead to somebody
- 22:25Speaker 6: coming back right away and just picking things up immediately,
- 22:28Speaker 6: especially if they're going to miss this much camp in
- 22:31Speaker 6: the beginning of the season. So I don't think it's,
- 22:34Speaker 6: you know, a backbreaker. I probably shouldn't mention like another injury.
- 22:38Speaker 6: Oh no, we're talking about this. I don't think it's devastating,
- 22:42Speaker 6: but it's certainly significant.
- 22:44Speaker 3: We're talking to Nick car But if somebody has a
- 22:46Speaker 3: serious back injury, Carbone, we're blaming you.
- 22:50Speaker 6: I'll take the rest of the year off of Okay.
- 22:52Speaker 1: There you go.
- 22:53Speaker 3: We got it marked out. Nick Carbone here talking football,
- 22:56Speaker 3: all right. We're not shaming anybody's relatives with Nick Carbony.
- 22:59Speaker 3: He is here to strictly talk football on this show.
- 23:03Speaker 3: CARBONI two receivers, and I know you talked about a
- 23:06Speaker 3: bunch of the receivers and Bryce has really been spreading
- 23:08Speaker 3: the ball around. But two specific receivers we haven't talked
- 23:12Speaker 3: about much, John Metchi and Jimmy Horn, and the two
- 23:17Speaker 3: practices I've been out there, it definitely feels like Metchi
- 23:21Speaker 3: is more noticeable than Horn. What do you think about
- 23:24Speaker 3: those two guys and their chances? I mean, it's a
- 23:27Speaker 3: crowded fight for roster spots. Where do they fit in?
- 23:31Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely think Metchi is above Horn right now.
- 23:35Speaker 6: I think you're seeing the connection between he and Bryce
- 23:37Speaker 6: Young that dates back to college showing up and he's
- 23:41Speaker 6: you know, he's I know, he's had an illness that
- 23:44Speaker 6: you know, really derailed his career a little bit. But
- 23:46Speaker 6: he has a little bit more experience obviously than Jimmy Horn.
- 23:50Speaker 6: And you know, I think Horn's got to give you
- 23:53Speaker 6: something else, maybe in the return game or something to
- 23:55Speaker 6: really make a case. I mean, this receiver room compared
- 23:58Speaker 6: to last year, got a whole lot more competitive this offseason,
- 24:02Speaker 6: even with the loss of Brazel and and Horn. Look,
- 24:06Speaker 6: he's got speed. Can he put it all together to
- 24:09Speaker 6: be that take the top off the defense guy. We
- 24:12Speaker 6: haven't seen it yet, but he's certainly going to have
- 24:14Speaker 6: opportunities all camp, especially with Brazel out, to prove that
- 24:17Speaker 6: he can be that guy, because man, if he can
- 24:19Speaker 6: give you that like, that may change the equation. But
- 24:21Speaker 6: right now, I think, you know, based on the experience,
- 24:24Speaker 6: based on the connection that previously existed with Bryce Young,
- 24:28Speaker 6: METI's kind of got a leg up there on.
- 24:30Speaker 4: The defensive side. What do you think about the news
- 24:32Speaker 4: of j C. Horn maybe playing more in the slot
- 24:35Speaker 4: this year in how that'll look on defense.
- 24:39Speaker 6: You know, everybody's wanted him to move around for the
- 24:42Speaker 6: last couple of years and Averro has been very conservative
- 24:45Speaker 6: and not wanting to do it. And listen, there could
- 24:49Speaker 6: have been spots where he could have maybe you know,
- 24:53Speaker 6: made that move, but he didn't. I just don't think
- 24:56Speaker 6: he trusted the rest of the defense as a whole
- 24:58Speaker 6: collective to kind of make a for it another spots.
- 25:01Speaker 6: And now you know, they've got Mike Jackson as a
- 25:04Speaker 6: solidified number two borderline number one corner. On the other side,
- 25:07Speaker 6: they've got Corey Thornton, who you know, I really really
- 25:12Speaker 6: was disappointed we couldn't see him finish the season last
- 25:14Speaker 6: year because I liked him from camp and on and
- 25:17Speaker 6: I know they did too. And he certainly looks like
- 25:20Speaker 6: he belongs and now Will Lee looks like he belongs.
- 25:22Speaker 6: So that with and with Trayvon Marrig back there, maybe
- 25:27Speaker 6: even the key Wheatley able to make plays. I think
- 25:31Speaker 6: they feel like and Avero is going to feel like
- 25:34Speaker 6: he's going to be able to be a lot more flexible,
- 25:36Speaker 6: a little more aggressive in his moving JC around like
- 25:39Speaker 6: a chess piece and really playing the matchups rather than
- 25:43Speaker 6: just kind of gluing him to one side or the other.
- 25:45Speaker 6: So I think it's kind of a product of the
- 25:49Speaker 6: talent level on defense at all three levels getting better.
- 25:52Speaker 6: I mean even even at linebacker and up front, all
- 25:56Speaker 6: those Gorton's out, but you add Jalen Phillips a prize
- 25:59Speaker 6: for you and Rusher like it all factors into all
- 26:02Speaker 6: three levels being able to allow you, uh to move
- 26:07Speaker 6: somebody and and kind of have everybody be a force
- 26:09Speaker 6: multiplier and make everybody else better and allow you to
- 26:13Speaker 6: do more.
- 26:14Speaker 3: What do you think of the way that Monroe Freeling
- 26:17Speaker 3: has been holding up out there? I mean, I haven't
- 26:20Speaker 3: I don't think I've seen a tweet since last Friday.
- 26:23Speaker 3: I don't think I've seen one at the last three practices. Uh,
- 26:26Speaker 3: And we were at two of them and I didn't
- 26:28Speaker 3: notice anything where he stuck out in a bad way.
- 26:30Speaker 1: What have you seen?
- 26:33Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, and some of the practices, it's just been
- 26:35Speaker 6: hard to see.
- 26:37Speaker 4: That that one we were at with you on what
- 26:39Speaker 4: was that day, Bone Tuesday, all I saw was all
- 26:43Speaker 4: I saw was the back of Cam Jackson.
- 26:47Speaker 6: Then that'll that'll impede your view.
- 26:50Speaker 1: People like the damn Son out man. Oh my gosh,
- 26:54Speaker 1: uh yeah.
- 26:54Speaker 6: I mean I always thought Monroe Freeling was going to
- 26:58Speaker 6: need time to adjust this level. I liked the pick.
- 27:02Speaker 6: I thought they should have gone left tackle. I love
- 27:05Speaker 6: that they went out and were prudent enough and patient
- 27:08Speaker 6: enough to do that left tackle of the future. But
- 27:11Speaker 6: now he's the right tackle of now, and that's unexpected.
- 27:14Speaker 6: So he's not only adjusting to the NFL game and
- 27:17Speaker 6: NFL EDG dreshers, but he's doing it on a side
- 27:20Speaker 6: that he's less familiar with, although he has some familiarity
- 27:23Speaker 6: with that side, and anytime you ask canalis about him
- 27:27Speaker 6: or Jalen Phillips the other day, or Tommy Tremble as well,
- 27:31Speaker 6: because he kind of lines up in the line next to
- 27:33Speaker 6: him and you know, has that kind of blocking experience
- 27:36Speaker 6: as well. It's a lot of physical traits there, passion
- 27:40Speaker 6: for the game, there, ability to learn and improve there.
- 27:44Speaker 6: But there are growing pains, and it's a question of like,
- 27:48Speaker 6: are those growing pains going to be out of the
- 27:51Speaker 6: way by the start of the season. Excuse me, I
- 27:54Speaker 6: don't think you're going to get the reliability, the consistency
- 27:59Speaker 6: of a tailor mote right away, but you certainly have
- 28:01Speaker 6: a guy that's talented enough to keep picking it up
- 28:04Speaker 6: and building week to week. So it's not an ideal
- 28:08Speaker 6: spot to be at that position, you know, starting with
- 28:11Speaker 6: the ikey Ikuanu injury early in that playoff game. Now
- 28:16Speaker 6: you have Taylor Molten out with an unexpected and scary
- 28:21Speaker 6: medical issue, and we don't know when or if he
- 28:24Speaker 6: will be back, so it's it's gonna just depend on
- 28:28Speaker 6: how quickly he can pick this up. But I think
- 28:31Speaker 6: it's great that they have Jalen Phillips over there and
- 28:34Speaker 6: they can kind of throw him at him as much
- 28:35Speaker 6: as they can to really sharpen him up. But right now,
- 28:40Speaker 6: I think it's just going to be a little up
- 28:42Speaker 6: and down for a while. We'll see what happens in
- 28:44Speaker 6: the games.
- 28:44Speaker 4: Want to ask you, how was the MLS All Star
- 28:46Speaker 4: event at the Bank last night?
- 28:49Speaker 6: It was a good show.
- 28:50Speaker 5: You know.
- 28:51Speaker 6: I had never really watched the mlsll Star game in full,
- 28:54Speaker 6: had seen bits and pieces of it in the past,
- 28:57Speaker 6: haven't had a Charlotte player playing the game, and so
- 28:59Speaker 6: the he suited up last night. But one thing you
- 29:02Speaker 6: look for when you you know, were judging these All
- 29:05Speaker 6: Star games in all of our favorite sports is like,
- 29:07Speaker 6: does it look like the sport is supposed to look?
- 29:10Speaker 6: And that looked like a pretty competitive soccer game last night.
- 29:14Speaker 6: You had sensational goals. I mean that Carloss heel to
- 29:18Speaker 6: Sonny goal was amazing. That volley goal was just absolutely
- 29:22Speaker 6: the way heel pepped it in bounds and just sliced
- 29:26Speaker 6: it through the box, and then the touch on the
- 29:29Speaker 6: volley from Sonny was fantastic. So you had the superstars
- 29:33Speaker 6: showing out. There was physicality. I mean it wasn't over
- 29:37Speaker 6: the top, but there were cards dealt. Sonny took kind
- 29:40Speaker 6: of a blow to the back of the head after
- 29:42Speaker 6: the two goals. Will almost reminded me of an inside
- 29:45Speaker 6: pitch after somebody, you know, knocks a few home runs,
- 29:48Speaker 6: like hey, you know, we're tired of you kind of
- 29:50Speaker 6: killing us here. There were great saves despite a seven
- 29:53Speaker 6: goal game, and it was a good crowd. I know
- 29:55Speaker 6: there's some haters out there that want to tweet a
- 29:57Speaker 6: picture of a half empty NFL stadium. There were thirty
- 30:00Speaker 6: five thousand last night that was capacity for the Lower Bowl.
- 30:03Speaker 6: That beat last year's All Star crowd by twenty thousand.
- 30:06Speaker 6: Obviously in a smaller stadium.
- 30:08Speaker 4: I would have told moved by that guy, it was
- 30:09Speaker 4: a good out in the pregame. We'll get the attendance.
- 30:12Speaker 4: Do it during the game, clown. But the whole point
- 30:15Speaker 4: is that everybody.
- 30:16Speaker 6: Who it's like everybody who tweets that picture the Panthers
- 30:19Speaker 6: Falcons Monsoon game when there was like one person out
- 30:22Speaker 6: there while everybody was inside drying off at halftime. You know,
- 30:26Speaker 6: like listen, listen, take take things in the context they're
- 30:29Speaker 6: actually in.
- 30:30Speaker 3: But here's the point, and you just you just alluded
- 30:32Speaker 3: to it, like even like I assume maybe they took it.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Did they take it when it was full? But it's
- 30:37Speaker 3: just the lower bowl and they're making fun of the
- 30:39Speaker 3: upper bowl being empty.
- 30:41Speaker 6: They didn't sell it, took the photo. I just looked
- 30:43Speaker 6: at the timestamp. It was seven point fifty. That was
- 30:45Speaker 6: about twenty five thirty minutes for the ball.
- 30:48Speaker 1: That's definitely kicked off.
- 30:49Speaker 3: That's annoying, not to mention if you play All Star
- 30:53Speaker 3: games like they did in Austin in a soccer only stadium,
- 30:57Speaker 3: those soccer only stadiums, to your point, holds significantly less
- 31:02Speaker 3: than what our lower bowl does. So when we fill
- 31:04Speaker 3: the lower bowl, we are still obliterating everybody in attendance
- 31:08Speaker 3: except Atlanta, Like we're second and.
- 31:11Speaker 6: It founded good, Like when sub scored, it was fantastic.
- 31:15Speaker 6: There were Lega and Eck's chants ringing through the lower bowl.
- 31:18Speaker 6: Excuse me when the game got tighter, like yeah, it's
- 31:22Speaker 6: it's gonna feel different in a bigger venue. But there
- 31:25Speaker 6: are more people. And you know, listen, I would have
- 31:30Speaker 6: loved the upper bowl to be open. Uh, we've seen
- 31:33Speaker 6: how that looks. We haven't seen it at Charlotte in
- 31:37Speaker 6: a while, you know, for for MLS competitions, but you know,
- 31:42Speaker 6: for for a game where at some point the lower
- 31:44Speaker 6: bowl was expected to be it, like they sold out
- 31:47Speaker 6: the lower bowl.
- 31:48Speaker 1: I know that's annoying.
- 31:49Speaker 3: I don't know this person is, but they're on my list, bone,
- 31:51Speaker 3: They're right there on my list with that damn person.
- 31:54Speaker 3: It wouldn't give me a courtesy wave when I let
- 31:56Speaker 3: him turn with traffic yesterday. Serious, So you're joining that
- 31:59Speaker 3: guy on the list. You're also on the list with
- 32:02Speaker 3: jerks that out friends grandmothers for passing gas. Those kind
- 32:06Speaker 3: of guys are on that list to bone, all right. Yeah,
- 32:09Speaker 3: the feedback's not good for me.
- 32:10Speaker 4: On the text line, there was also uh, there's also
- 32:13Speaker 4: another guy that Willy was going after, a MLS MLS
- 32:16Speaker 4: Gone Wild podcast host who said city should be allowed
- 32:20Speaker 4: to host MLS All Star games that they don't have,

- 35:46Speaker 1: most entertaining.

- 36:27Speaker 1: Am I the only one that finds LeVar amusing?
- 36:30Speaker 6: Now?
- 36:30Speaker 3: I like Phiddy oh Fiddy loves. I went through a
- 36:33Speaker 3: period where he was amusing. Then I thought this dude,
- 36:36Speaker 3: he's put a sock in it. And I stayed that
- 36:38Speaker 3: way for a while.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Now.
- 36:40Speaker 4: I don't know if it's because he's gone from the hornet,
- 36:42Speaker 4: is he from a far is he funnier.
- 36:43Speaker 3: It's maybe LaMelo's gone, so I don't need to worry
- 36:47Speaker 3: about like what he says and is it going to
- 36:49Speaker 3: annoy the hornets?
- 36:50Speaker 1: It's just like, what what world? What world? Bone? Did
- 36:55Speaker 1: we think?

- 37:19Speaker 4: even know who these are. Is this his own podcast?
- 37:22Speaker 1: I don't know what.
- 37:22Speaker 3: I don't think so I think that there was that
- 37:24Speaker 3: kid there that was talking to one Shiny Night or something,
- 37:27Speaker 3: the kid that told him one night was Steiny.
- 37:30Speaker 4: One night with Stiny. I was closed, What the heck

- 37:43Speaker 3: Everywhere, man, LaVar's everywhere One Steiny night. I gotta tell you,

- 37:53Speaker 3: were homers about their kids over.
- 37:55Speaker 4: The years, and you sports probably me included. But my
- 37:59Speaker 4: God takes the cake, all right. Anyway, what's this is on?

- 38:09Speaker 4: This is me LeVar on Mellow's driving issues.
- 38:14Speaker 6: I'm trying him out of who did you teach him how
- 38:15Speaker 6: to drive? Of course?
- 38:18Speaker 5: Oh my boys are driving at ten eleven years old.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Well he's been driving. He's been seen as a liability
- 38:23Speaker 1: on the road.
- 38:23Speaker 5: Yeah, of course that's because you're watching on the YouTube
- 38:25Speaker 5: all day. I don't act like nobody ain't. They never
- 38:27Speaker 5: had no accident. They show you how raggedy is his
- 38:30Speaker 5: representation is I would have had a commercial with State
- 38:33Speaker 5: farm or somebody by now to flip the script.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Like that's amazing humor, I'm sorry, that's amazing him with
- 38:40Speaker 1: Cliff Paul on a damn state farm man trying to
- 38:43Speaker 1: sign up for insurance. God that is.

- 38:56Speaker 4: did maybe.
- 38:57Speaker 3: Did I don't know. Allegedly they settled that one by
- 38:59Speaker 3: and they said I'm copping out of court. But anyway,

- 39:04Speaker 3: same time as lama Edie, I'm much I hate on Lamello, man, uh,
- 39:09Speaker 3: but Levar's cracking me to hell up?
