3:48
Speaker 1: the court. Nonetheless, did you see this?
3:52
Speaker 2: No?
3:53
Speaker 1: All right, so the news came out if you missed it,
3:55
Speaker 1: The NBA is on the verse. They're this close. You
3:58
Speaker 1: can't see my fingers, but they're this close. The NBA
4:01
Speaker 1: to adding not one, but two teams later this month
4:06
Speaker 1: here in the month of March. The league, we've learned,
4:10
Speaker 1: will hold a secret ballot, which will not be that secret.
4:15
Speaker 1: They're gonna hold a ballot to vote for in the
4:19
Speaker 1: next owners meetings. They changed that the NBA because Raymond
4:23
Speaker 1: Green was offended. He didn't like the word owner, so
4:26
Speaker 1: they use Board of Governors, which is so stupid. They're owners,
4:29
Speaker 1: They own the team. That's what they are. If you
4:32
Speaker 1: don't like it, then that's a u problem. Anyway. The
4:35
Speaker 1: owner meetings what will take place March twenty fourth through
4:38
Speaker 1: the fifteenth, So today is Saint Patti's Day. Happy Saint
4:41
Speaker 1: Patty's is or a week away from this taking place. Now,
4:44
Speaker 1: regarding the addition of expansion teams, the noise is that
4:50
Speaker 1: they're not having this open for random cities to say, hey,
4:53
Speaker 1: we'd like to host an NBA team. No, no, no,
4:57
Speaker 1: They've already handpicked Las Vegas, law ost Wage's, Nevada and
5:02
Speaker 1: Seattle as the two franchises that would join the NBA.
5:06
Speaker 1: The targeted debut would be in the twenty twenty eight
5:10
Speaker 1: twenty nine season. Look at the calendar, you say, well,
5:14
Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty six. That's only a couple of years
5:16
Speaker 1: away from adding not one but two teams to the NBA.
5:19
Speaker 1: They would have to move and shuffle teams around. It'd
5:23
Speaker 1: be a couple of teams currently in the West that
5:25
Speaker 1: would go to the East. And the chatter includes possibilities
5:29
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Memphis, the Minnesota Timberwolves as possibilities to go
5:33
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference. You would think they would all
5:36
Speaker 1: be lining up to go to the Eastern Conference because
5:38
Speaker 1: that is the Marshmallow Conference. Like if if you're in
5:41
Speaker 1: one of those teams that's kind of in the middle
5:43
Speaker 1: there of the country, it could go either way. You'd
5:46
Speaker 1: want to be in the East because that's where the
5:48
Speaker 1: lightweights are, don't You want to beat up the lightweights
5:50
Speaker 1: and then only have to play one really good team
5:52
Speaker 1: in the finals to win a championship. But nonetheless the NBA,
5:57
Speaker 1: according to sham Sharani, things are progressing. The teams will
6:01
Speaker 1: be charged. The expansion teams will get a seven to
6:05
Speaker 1: ten billion dollar charge. That's quite the surch charge. That's
6:08
Speaker 1: an extra roughly twenty billion dollars that will be sliced
6:13
Speaker 1: and diced among the thirty members of the cartel of
6:17
Speaker 1: the NBA. So let us discuss the question that's good
6:20
Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question what message?
6:25
Speaker 1: What message is the NBA sending by preparing to add
6:31
Speaker 1: the Seattle and Vegas franchises. And it seems like this
6:35
Speaker 1: is a FATA complete. It's going to happen in the
6:38
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks that this will all be taking
6:41
Speaker 1: care of. The teas will be crossed, the eyes will
6:43
Speaker 1: be dotted unless something goes terribly wrong. So I've got
6:46
Speaker 1: airport strategy, seminar, kitchen table, and taco bell and we
6:52
Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
6:57
Speaker 1: going to make kettlecorn, which is next level from popcorn,
7:00
Speaker 1: is kettle corn. And once you cross over and have
7:04
Speaker 1: the kettlecorn, it's hard to just go back to popcorn.
7:07
Speaker 1: It's amazing because it's covered in sugar. So number number
7:15
Speaker 1: number right. So the message, let me tell you, I'm
7:18
Speaker 1: a big message guy Malther. The message. So the message
7:22
Speaker 1: here is from the classic sports movie from years ago.
7:27
Speaker 1: It was a movie called Jerry McGuire. In fact, that
7:28
Speaker 1: one of the guys that was in that movie worked
7:30
Speaker 1: here as a talk show host, Jay Moore, and it
7:32
Speaker 1: was not his character, but the character that made it famous.
7:36
Speaker 1: Show me the money, Show me the money. This has
7:39
Speaker 1: been simmering for at least a decade. I heard back
7:43
Speaker 1: when I used to go and I don't go to
7:45
Speaker 1: these NBA games anymore, but back in the day when
7:46
Speaker 1: I did, there were people that came up and said, listen,
7:49
Speaker 1: this is the plan. They're gonna Seattle's definitely getting a team.
7:51
Speaker 1: They'd like to put a team in Vegas. That's the plan.
7:54
Speaker 1: We're talking a decade ago, we're talking over it. Probably
7:58
Speaker 1: more like fifteen years ago. This was being talked about.
8:01
Speaker 1: This was going to be the plan, and so it's
8:04
Speaker 1: been simmering on the back burner, and they turned the
8:07
Speaker 1: burner down. But it's on the back burner and now
8:09
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here we are and it's still
8:12
Speaker 1: moving at DMV level speed, like the line at the DMV.
8:18
Speaker 1: And it's a cash grab. That's what this is. There's
8:20
Speaker 1: no other way to describe, which is fine. Just admit it, Andy,
8:22
Speaker 1: this is a cash grab. This is easy money. We
8:25
Speaker 1: got the TV contract square away. Who knows what's going
8:28
Speaker 1: to happen next time the TV contract comes up. So
8:30
Speaker 1: this is easy money. We don't have to share this
8:32
Speaker 1: with the players. It's all our money and it's a windfall.
8:36
Speaker 1: It's a bonanza for the owners, So why not. It's
8:40
Speaker 1: not about basketball, it's about the expansion revenue. That's just
8:46
Speaker 1: found money. It's like adding a couple of seats to
8:51
Speaker 1: the broken roller coaster. Come on, you're part of the roller.
8:55
Speaker 1: It's not working that great, but you're part of it.
8:58
Speaker 1: Think about that, a business where half the teams aren't
9:01
Speaker 1: even trying to win, and you've brainwashed some of your customers.
9:06
Speaker 1: They're so stupid, they're like, well, that seems to make
9:09
Speaker 1: sense that teams aren't trying to win. I support that, Like,
9:12
Speaker 1: think about how backwards that is on every level. That
9:15
Speaker 1: is the NBA, that is the modern NBA, and they're
9:18
Speaker 1: looking to add teams because they want cash. But if
9:21
Speaker 1: you look at this from a pure basketball standpoint, you'd say,
9:25
Speaker 1: what are we doing? This is a roller coaster that
9:29
Speaker 1: is not working right. It's a risk and the league, again,
9:34
Speaker 1: half the teams are not even trying. You've got imagine
9:37
Speaker 1: a building with the paint peeling on the building, there's
9:40
Speaker 1: some broken windows, and these teams are tanking. It's like
9:44
Speaker 1: they all went to the same airport strategy seminar. They
9:47
Speaker 1: went to a seminar at the airport and they all say, oh,
9:49
Speaker 1: here's what you do. You know how like fast food restaurants,
9:53
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, chicken tenders or chicken sandwiches became
9:57
Speaker 1: the thing, and like everyone had to have a chicken sandwich,
10:00
Speaker 1: fried chicken sandwich. And there's certain things these seminars. These
10:04
Speaker 1: guys go to these get togethers and they're like, okay,
10:06
Speaker 1: you got to sell this, and everyone's like, okay, we'll
10:08
Speaker 1: be in lockstep. Well, these NBA teams, it's all ping
10:12
Speaker 1: pong ding dong. They're all a bunch of ding dongs
10:14
Speaker 1: playing for the ping pong balls, is what they are.
10:17
Speaker 1: And originally it was kind of cute. Okay, Now everyone
10:22
Speaker 1: who's not trying to win, which is half the teams,
10:25
Speaker 1: are playing the suck and draft strategy. The suck and
10:30
Speaker 1: draft strategy when you build a culture of losing, you
10:33
Speaker 1: lose games, you get some lottery balls and that doesn't
10:36
Speaker 1: work out, and then you rinse, wash and repeat, and
10:41
Speaker 1: now you're inviting the Seattle and Vegas franchises to join
10:45
Speaker 1: the group. Chat of dysfunction, Come on down. The price
10:49
Speaker 1: is right, that's the culture. And doesn't it seem like
10:53
Speaker 1: Vegas would have been great ten years ago? Also not now.
10:58
Speaker 1: I still enjoy going to Vegas. I don't like going
11:00
Speaker 1: to the strip very much. And I got friends in
11:02
Speaker 1: Vegas who lived there. I got family that lives in Vegas.
11:04
Speaker 1: I go there quite a bit. But it's not a
11:06
Speaker 1: great town right now. The parking'st outrageous. They price gadge
11:11
Speaker 1: their customers. It's embarrassing what that town has become. And
11:13
Speaker 1: hopefully someone will get a clue and they'll change Vegas
11:16
Speaker 1: around and make it Maybe the mob can come back
11:18
Speaker 1: in and run Vegas and make it good again, because
11:21
Speaker 1: it sucks right now. And I was told by somebody
11:24
Speaker 1: in Vegas the reason they one of the reasons they
11:26
Speaker 1: started charging for parking on the strip was because of
11:30
Speaker 1: the NHL that they put the NHL team. There's an
11:33
Speaker 1: arena right behind New York New York in the middle
11:37
Speaker 1: of the strip, and they're like, we can't have a
11:39
Speaker 1: hockey team without parking revenue, and so okay, we'll start
11:43
Speaker 1: charging for parking and then we have to charge it
11:45
Speaker 1: all the hotels because otherwise people just walk. They'll park
11:49
Speaker 1: far away and they'll walk, and we won't get the revenue. Okay,
11:52
Speaker 1: so now everyone's charging and it's embarrassing. And then and
11:55
Speaker 1: the NBA and plus the NBAB the last team in
11:58
Speaker 1: the last team because I that year. I believe the
12:01
Speaker 1: a's if they ever get that thing done, the athletics
12:03
Speaker 1: will be in there. So the hockey team's been there,
12:06
Speaker 1: the Raiders have been there. You're gonna add a baseball
12:08
Speaker 1: team and a basketball team. Okay, there you go. Now,
12:15
Speaker 1: as far as the whole mindset that some have said, well,
12:19
Speaker 1: the talent delution, this is a big problem. The dilution
12:23
Speaker 1: of talent in THEA is not enough good players to
12:25
Speaker 1: go around. Well, the product again, it's already deluded. Load
12:30
Speaker 1: management is king, that's Adam Silver's baby load management and
12:34
Speaker 1: all that. I would argue, though, if teams actually were
12:36
Speaker 1: committed to trying to win, the product would not be
12:39
Speaker 1: as bad as it is. I believe that the product
12:42
Speaker 1: the NBA has is a byproduct of the commitment to sucking,
12:48
Speaker 1: and it just the whole thing is rotten. The whole
12:53
Speaker 1: thing is rotten. And if you actually put a mindset
12:55
Speaker 1: in that even these crappy teams that mathematically have no chance,
12:59
Speaker 1: if they actually tried, if they coached up players, you'd
13:03
Speaker 1: be amazed at how much better the product would be.
13:07
Speaker 1: Of Course, I'm just a boomer, I know, all right. Meanwhile,
13:11
Speaker 1: keeping the ball bouncing. So we found out with Seattle
13:16
Speaker 1: getting a team they're going to be called the SuperSonics,
13:18
Speaker 1: the Thunder, the team that was purchased as the Sonics
13:23
Speaker 1: by an oil baron and moved to Seattle. The Thunder
13:27
Speaker 1: would give up all of the records, the Supersonic records,
13:31
Speaker 1: which were kind of theirs but not really. Those would
13:35
Speaker 1: all go back to the Pacific Northwest. And we've seen
13:38
Speaker 1: this before with the Charlotte Hornets and also with the
13:43
Speaker 1: New Orleans Pelicans who were the old Charlotte Hornets. It's
13:46
Speaker 1: all very confusing, all very confusing, but they just got
13:49
Speaker 1: to keep the records and that's how that went. So
13:52
Speaker 1: the question what do you make of the plan for
13:55
Speaker 1: the Sonics, the branding, the green and gold to return
14:01
Speaker 1: to the NBA. What do you make of this? So
14:03
Speaker 1: this is one thing we've been very critical. Get paid
14:07
Speaker 1: to be a critic very critical of Adam Silver. We've
14:11
Speaker 1: taken ourtuas cheap shots at Adam Silver in the NBA.
14:14
Speaker 1: This is something the NBA actually got right. And I'll
14:18
Speaker 1: be Benny Bright said on this one. They got it right.
14:20
Speaker 1: You write it down, you know, man bites dog. NBA
14:25
Speaker 1: got something right. They got it right. You know, alert
14:28
Speaker 1: the authorities. You might want to wake up the village elders.
14:32
Speaker 1: They got it right. They did. Adam Silver, the guy
14:35
Speaker 1: that we roast as a lizard person in a tailored
14:40
Speaker 1: suit from somewhere outside the Milky Way galaxy, is finally
14:45
Speaker 1: stumbled onto something here where this is good. And he's
14:47
Speaker 1: done it now a couple of times. But the basic
14:50
Speaker 1: common sense, basic common sense, the Sonic brand belongs in Seattle, period,
14:58
Speaker 1: full stop. It does. And when I become the almighty,
15:03
Speaker 1: all powerful death spot of sports, which will happen sooner
15:07
Speaker 1: than you think, and I'm in charge, and I'm in
15:09
Speaker 1: the catbird seat when I am in charge, mark my words.
15:13
Speaker 1: Right now. You move a franchise, you relocate a franchise
15:18
Speaker 1: in a money grab, you get that tax money, and
15:22
Speaker 1: you leave the name, you leave the colors, you leave
15:24
Speaker 1: the history, all of that leave it right on the
15:28
Speaker 1: kitchen table. The Chicago Bears, if they move to Indiana,
15:30
Speaker 1: they're no longer the Chicago Bears. But it's just across
15:34
Speaker 1: it's a few miles away. I don't care. You lose
15:37
Speaker 1: the name, do it? Would you still do it? Would
15:40
Speaker 1: you think the Chicago Bears would move across the state
15:42
Speaker 1: line there in Indiana if they had to change the name.
15:48
Speaker 1: And I would have had the Giants and Jets change
15:50
Speaker 1: their name they play in New Jersey. I don't care.
15:52
Speaker 1: If it's across the way you move, that's it. Those
15:54
Speaker 1: are the rules. I'm the boss. You're cooked. That's the
15:58
Speaker 1: way that goes at be across board, NFL, major League Baseball, NHL,
16:03
Speaker 1: all of it. And you know, don't drag the ghost
16:10
Speaker 1: of a sports team's past like some kind of stolen
16:14
Speaker 1: some weirdo steals a family album. I was like, well, no,
16:16
Speaker 1: that needs nothing to you. You're not part of that family.
16:18
Speaker 1: You don't need those photos. Get out of here with that,
16:22
Speaker 1: and so Seattle. By the time this team comes back
16:25
Speaker 1: to the NBA in twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty nine,
16:28
Speaker 1: it will have been nearly twenty years. I mean almost
16:31
Speaker 1: exactly twenty years since the Sonics were taken away and
16:36
Speaker 1: moved to Oklahoma City. There and like a proud old mansion.
16:42
Speaker 1: Well we'll live again, and they'll fix the windows, some
16:46
Speaker 1: paint and all that and the whole thing. Bring all
16:49
Speaker 1: of it back, the green and the gold. I want
16:51
Speaker 1: every Sonic legend, dead or alive, to be celebrated, whether
16:54
Speaker 1: it's the X Man, Xavier McDaniel, Tom Chambers, Gary Payton,
16:57
Speaker 1: Nate McMillan, Jack Sikma, Ray, Allen Dale, Ellis Downtown, Freddie Brown,
17:03
Speaker 1: I don't care. Bring them all back, dead or alive,
17:06
Speaker 1: and celebrate the old old Sonics and that's it. And
17:09
Speaker 1: don't forget the mascots. Now, the original mascot. A lot
17:12
Speaker 1: of people don't know this because it's been a long time.
17:14
Speaker 1: You've forgotten. Maybe you weren't alive when it happened. The
17:16
Speaker 1: original Sonics mascot was Wheedle on the needle, Wheedle on
17:20
Speaker 1: the needle. Now, after that that mascot was retired. Then
17:23
Speaker 1: they brought in Squatch for sasquatch, so they had that.
17:27
Speaker 1: Bring back the mascots. I'd have both of them. Who
17:30
Speaker 1: says no? And power to the people. Why not all right. Now,
17:34
Speaker 1: final point to the gambling market of the NFL. The
17:37
Speaker 1: gambling market of the NFL. The updated updated odds, updated odds,
17:45
Speaker 1: and Sean mcvay's Rams are now plus seven hundred. They
17:52
Speaker 1: are the betting favorite. The offseason has adjusted the odds
17:57
Speaker 1: and the Rams are the betting favorite to win Super
17:59
Speaker 1: Bowls sixty one. Let me repeat that for those of
18:03
Speaker 1: a little slow The La Rams are now the betting favorite,
18:07
Speaker 1: LA grabbing the top spot on the updated odds after
18:11
Speaker 1: the free agency in the first round of trades, keeping
18:15
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and the core of the team intact, the
18:19
Speaker 1: team that won that Fluke Super Bowl. The Seahawks are
18:22
Speaker 1: at plus nine point fifty, followed by the Buffalo Bills,
18:26
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and for some reason, the Chargers. Can we
18:30
Speaker 1: just stop with the Chargers? Can justin Herbert sucks? Can
18:35
Speaker 1: we just stop with the Chargers? Please? The guy's a
18:38
Speaker 1: regular season player, he can't get it done in the playoffs.
18:40
Speaker 1: He's a fraud. And yet I got to hear about
18:43
Speaker 1: the Chargers being great and all that stuff. Anyway, and
18:45
Speaker 1: then you got the Chiefs and the forty nine Ers
18:47
Speaker 1: after that plus sixteen hundred question do the Rams the
18:51
Speaker 1: La Rams do. They deserve to be the team to
18:54
Speaker 1: beat based on the gambaing odds they are so I
18:59
Speaker 1: wonder rubber stamp this. I notarize it, I send it
19:05
Speaker 1: FedEx overnight. I'm right there. The Rams are walking in
19:10
Speaker 1: and there's still moves to be made. Obviously, had the
19:12
Speaker 1: draft and all that, but the Rams are walking into
19:14
Speaker 1: next season right now like a Hollywood reboot with a
19:18
Speaker 1: bigger budget and a better group of special effects, and
19:22
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be awesome. It's just gonna be awesome. Now.
19:25
Speaker 1: The weakest link the Rams had. They had bad special teams,
19:27
Speaker 1: and their secondary was not very good. They've addressed all
19:30
Speaker 1: of those things and we haven't even gotten to the draft.
19:33
Speaker 1: The secondary. They went on the prow. They raided Arrowhead Stadium,
19:38
Speaker 1: the stockpile the Chiefs had of defensive backs, and they
19:42
Speaker 1: got them not on the cheap. They were expensive. Trent
19:45
Speaker 1: McDuffie's the highest paid defensive back in the NFL. Now
19:48
Speaker 1: they got him and his buddy. And so that is
19:50
Speaker 1: how you treat a leaky boat, all right. They didn't
19:55
Speaker 1: just have a dinghy come and take them away. They
19:57
Speaker 1: fixed the boat. They got some of those Infomar ceiling products,
20:01
Speaker 1: and they fixed the boat. And that's it. You got
20:03
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, the reigning MVP, coming back and he's still
20:06
Speaker 1: slinging it like a black blackjack dealer there who's on
20:10
Speaker 1: a on a healer, a heater. And you have Poula
20:12
Speaker 1: Nacua who's been living the Hollywood life and going around
20:15
Speaker 1: having a great time and all that. So that roster,
20:18
Speaker 1: with what they kept and what they've added the rams,
20:21
Speaker 1: it's like a late night run to Taco bell, right.
20:24
Speaker 1: It's chaotic, there's a long line, you gotta wait and
20:27
Speaker 1: it just hits the spot and it might not look
20:30
Speaker 1: good later because you might be on the toilet, but
20:32
Speaker 1: it looks good in the moment. It feels pretty good.
20:35
Speaker 1: And let's also address the elephant in the room here
20:39
Speaker 1: and and the elephant doing jumping jacks in the side
20:41
Speaker 1: of the room, and that be Seattle. The Seahawks did
20:44
Speaker 1: not just win, They won with help. That's why they're
20:48
Speaker 1: not the favorite anymore. And they've also been raided that
20:52
Speaker 1: phantom two point conversion. Chances of that happening again are
20:56
Speaker 1: not particularly good. It was right out of the twilights
20:59
Speaker 1: on it. I know jj N Renton would agree with
21:01
Speaker 1: me on that, and so would Nostradinas when it comes
21:04
Speaker 1: to that. But the regression to the mean and Seattle
21:08
Speaker 1: overachieved last year got some help. Those things won't happen
21:10
Speaker 1: likely this year here, so that tax bill will come do.
21:14
Speaker 1: And the Rams at plus seven hundred on the board.
21:18
Speaker 1: And that's not elementary school cafeteria mystery meat that is
21:24
Speaker 1: dry aged and hand carved table side steak is what
21:31
Speaker 1: that is. That's just delicious. And the Rams are not
21:33
Speaker 1: just contenders here, they are the team to beat at
21:36
Speaker 1: this point based on the offseason adjustment to the gambling market.
21:39
Speaker 1: It's hard to argue with that. Against that, Rather, it's
21:41
Speaker 1: hard to argue against that. I don't know how you
21:42
Speaker 1: could argue for anyone else. No one's had a more
21:45
Speaker 1: impressive run than the Rams this offseason. It is The
21:49
Speaker 1: Ben Maler Show. Will take your calls if you'd like

38:50
Speaker 6: contract rights, Ben, what are the chances car stays retired?
38:54
Speaker 1: It sounds like he wants to play. So if you
38:56
Speaker 1: want to play, you're gonna play. Like you'll find a
38:59
Speaker 1: way to play if you want to play. He's not
39:01
Speaker 1: going to go to a good team. He's gonna have
39:02

39:44

39:53
Speaker 6: a sound strategy?

Speaker 1: Uh? Well sure on a tablet coop it sounds like
39:57
Speaker 1: a good strategy. Why not? The problem is an execution

40:03
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if they're older, young players, they're gonna start
40:06
Speaker 1: having hissy fits. So it's not gonna work. How do
