• 0:25
  Speaker 3: great name.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: Oh the Bone.
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Charlotte, Welcome aboard. It is time for the
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: day after the LaMelo trade deal. Here on the Mack
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: and Bone Show. We got about a half hour in
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: yesterday when the news broke live on the air and
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: we had to deal live with the shock of Lamello
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: actually being traded. I don't know if we dealt extremely
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: well with it. We have all been able to sleep
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: through it, not through it, but you know what I mean,
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: we slept overnight, didn't we?
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Most less, maybe some of you didn't.
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: It's the next day and we want to know are
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: people still furious? I mean, we had people texting in
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: saying that they just canceled their season tickets live on
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: the air. I can only imagine what the season ticket
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: you know, phone lines were like over there, but in
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: an amazing twist. The national media is probably ninety percent
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: in favor of the Hornets in the trade.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Oh my god. So we got to talk through that.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: What's the disconnect between fans and the media nationally on
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: this deal? We will talk through that. The US loses
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: in dramatic fashion last night to Turkey a last minute
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: of stoppage time.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Do we care?
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: Mauricio Pachettino reminded the media about four times we won
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: the group, and he said, you're not congratulating for winning
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: our group. So he said, Turkey is going home on
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: a flight and we won our group. Is it as
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: simple as that? Or are there things that should bother
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: rushrom last night's match. We'll talk about that here off
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: the top a little bit as well. Kobe White resigns
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: that that Domino or he's going to re sign that
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: domino fell right after the Lamello news and a local
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: TV reporter reports that we are in contact with the
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Boston Celtics about one Jalen Brown. So we had a
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: lot of things to talk about here today on the
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: Mac and Bone Show, The Bone Man in the House,
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: The Fit Dog in the House on a Friday, So
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: much to talk about what's a bone?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: How you feeling? What's up with you? Good set up.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: There, I'm feeling okay, feeling all right. I think I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: more measured and relaxed than yesterday. To some degree, I'm
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: okay if I had a little time to process. It's
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: still shocking, no doubt, it's kind of numbing, but I'm
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I'm okay, Mac, And I also feel better knowing that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: we no longer have to deal with this man. Because
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I just saw when you were talking my number one
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: news story on Twitter right now, LaVar ball urges Minnesota
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: to sign all three sons.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Oh there you go, good lord.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So here's a minute audio here Mack waiting for you
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of Vavar pleading with Minnesota. He said, you can go
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: get Wonzo for nothing, Jevo for nothing, and the ball
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: boys together never lost.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Wonder Monsota that's on you now.
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: Wonder why you can get them for nothing, LeVar, Oh
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: my god, to play that at some point, Minnesota, good
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: luck with that and Mellows driving. Okay, There'll be plenty
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: of good things LaMelo will do for you, but good
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: luck with all that stuff right there. Yeah, I've been
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: wondering when Big Baller is going to weigh in, So
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: I'm glad to hear we got big baller chiming in.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: There also is an amazing and I don't know do
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: you know who we credit for this? I saw it
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: on barstool, the amazing man on the street and the
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: man his car Audio in Charlotte right by the arena.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Yesterday CARBONI, Oh was that from CARBONI and CNC Yeah,
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: blew up yesterday. It went from Carboni to everywhere yesterday
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: it went national. This duw was losing his mind. I mean,
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: I think every Hornets fan sounded like that wherever they.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Were hanging out his window. But this dude lost his mind.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Man in his car bat LaMelo being traded and it
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: went viral to hilarious CARBONI. That is tremendous work man.
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: When did CARBONI just go car to car and see
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: if he can get some reactions?
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when we see yah I like that street, he says,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: people are not happy. It's now got one million views
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: on there, So congrats to CARBONI. We that guy might
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: have been the guy calling us yesterday.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: That might be Royal.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, Royal man, Royal. That guy was hilarious.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: We had a guy if you guys miss yesterday, Oh
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Rob the phone lines for the first time in about
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: three months, and a guy just jumped McK and I
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: in the first call.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: No, it was like, welcome back to the phone lines.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: I've been waiting. This dude was like waiting in the weeds.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: That guy's been calling.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Every day waiting for the phone. God bless that man.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: That was entertaining, though, I'm sure for everybody. All right,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: So yeah, Michael set I don't know if you saw
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: a bone on Twitter last night, but Sham's had a
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: tweet that said that the sounds familiar. The Celtics are
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: engaged in trade talks about Jalen Brown with multiple teams,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: and then Michael set quote tweeted it. He's from Queen
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: City News and he's had a little bit of a
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: history with some good Hornet scoops.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: He's been reporting on lamelow for a while for a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: couple of years about stuff going.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: He said, sources tell me the Hornets are one of
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: these teams. So they have a forty one million dollar
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: trade exception, the biggest one in NBA history, which means
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: you could trade for somebody and you could take that
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: much salary in and it doesn't count against you don't
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: have to have the deal salaries balanced, and you could
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: take forty one million dollars a salary in it doesn't
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: count against your cap. It's a huge luxury. And there's
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: a ton of players they could bring in. Hell, they
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: could bring in two players and use that forty one
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: million spread over two deals. Jalen Brown doesn't get you
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: a whole contract, but it gets you a lot of it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: So the plot thickens bow.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I have some thoughts on that, and I was thinking, man,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: what would it take to get Jalen Brown? And I
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: know yesterday we said, hey, it might be forty two
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: pickswaps might be Brandon Miller. But then I started thinking, man,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Tatum and Miller did they kind of roam the same plane?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Would they want? Would they want Brandon Miller? I have
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a feeling this is just my sense of what they
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: would ask for, not what I would do. I think
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: they would probably ask for con first before Brandon Miller,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: because there's that Larry Bird presence there. It's the shooter
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: in Boston. I wonder if they would at least ask
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: for con from Jalen Brown. That's what I think they
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: would do. Yeah, that's interesting. I think Brandon Miller and
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Tatum are kind of not exactly the same, but they're
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: a little bit similar to each other.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: You're saying Miller and Brown. I'm sorry, Miller and Miller
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: and Tatum. Excuse me? Would they want Miller with Tatum? Oh,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: you're saying for the Celtics or the Celtics.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, they asked for Miller because these kind of similar
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: to Tatum. Would they be content with that or are
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: they gonna say no, we want we want to pair
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: con If this is the case with.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Tatum, yeah, they definitely. I did ask that. I think
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: that's possible.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: And then we see how much the city loves Con
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: because you're getting a dude that was a legit MVP
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: candidate average twenty eight points a game and plays amazing
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: defense too, by the way, on the wing. And I'm
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: curious how Hornets fans would answer that question. But there
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: are a lot of possibilities. They clear up cap room,
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: they got the huge trade exception, they got more draft assets,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: the pick swaps. The more I read about the pick swaps,
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: the more I'm kind of like, ah, I don't really
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: know if this is going to amount to a ton,
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: although it feels like Jeff Peterson is kind of betting
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: on Minnesota. Maybe maybe Jeff Peterson's betting on LaMelo to
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: not stay healthy, and you know that's why he wanted
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: to trade them. And then maybe the Hornets are betting
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: on that lack of LaMelo health making Minnesota maybe worse
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: than Charlotte. And then maybe the pick swaps work out.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: So there's a lot going on. There's a lot to
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: digest Peterson also to talk about. Peterson is also so
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: pick active. Who knows in the time what picks we
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: may have or won't have in future. The NBA's wild
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: these picks, So who even knows in future years what
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: we may have and not have. We have twelve first
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: round picks over the next seven years, and we are
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: not getting them to just draft twelve players over the
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: next seven years exactly. He has not pulled any punches
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: when he has told you, we will know when it's
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: time to make the big deal. They made a big
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: deal here, but they haven't made the big deal yet
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: in terms of acquisition. The trade exception. By the way,
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: I didn't know this.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: I try.
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: I had to learn a lot about the trade exception stuff.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: It's a voucher for one year. You lose it after
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: one year. Yep.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: So the thought bone about, Man, they're gonna sit on
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: that for a while. No, they can't sit on that
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: for a while. So there's something coming at some point,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: and at least they're sniffing around reportedly the Jalen Brown thing.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: If Michael Lasette is to believe then, like you said,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: he he seems like he has a lot of sources there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: Kobe resigns for or he's going to resign reported three year,
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: seventy four million dollar deal. I would have paid him
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: that with LaMelo. That is just under the twenty five
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: million dollars a year. I kept saying, give him that
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: if you have to, And I would have paid him
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: that without LaMelo or with LaMelo. Now now without LaMelo,
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: and he's probably your starter, seems like a pretty good
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: deal to me. I've done quick too. That was good
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: work there. Well, clearly they they weren't trading LaMelo without
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: having a verbal agreement with Kobe, right yep. I mean
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: it'd be Ignoramisis for doing that. Some people think they're
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: ingoramas Is for just trading LaMelo. So we'll talk through
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: this whole thing today because I realized Buhen we reacted yesterday,
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: but it was only about nine twenty something to ten o'clock,
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: so there's a lot of our audience.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I hadn't heard our reaction.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Our reactions probably have changed a little bit from the
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: oh my god, they really did this and they only
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: got like my thing was. Some people call it a
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: great package. I'm talking trade here. I've never heard of us.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: I'm settled down, everybody. I'm just talking trade. What we
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: got back. I always hear they should have got more.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Some people call it a great package, but we only
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: got one new first round pick, and that's seven years away.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Eighth grader. We have an eighth grader in the wings.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: The other three. The other three are pick swaps, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: two of them are very convoluted where there's like multiple
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: teams involved. It's crazy, but I guess time will tell
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: how valuable those really are.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: I do want to talk, and we'll get back to it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: We'll start to hear media reaction. It's funny timing. Jeff
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: Peterson and Schlotkin, Plotkin Chanel all had media events yesterday
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: where they were asked about this. So did they spill
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: the beans? On anything yesterday. We'll talk about that as well.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: The US men's soccer team Bone. They make nine changes
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: last night. I knew they were making four, right. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: think we all had a good feeling they weren't going
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: to play the four guys with the yellow cards. But
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: they made nine changes. Only Pepe, who with flow Baligon
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: on a yellow card. You don't want to risk any
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: of these yellow card guys. They get another yellow card,
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: they can't play against Bosnia, which is now efficiently set
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: for next Wednesday. That match is officially set eight o'clock
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: next Wednesday. So I knew they were changing out four guys.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: I did not expect the other five to be changed out,
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Pepe and McKinney. They kept Weston McKinnie in the midfield.
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: They even changed the goalkeeper, which I'm not really in
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: love with. I feel like Freeze needs reps, you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: So I don't know, I don't exactly love that personally.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: But this was just a case of it didn't matter
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: if we won the match or lost the match. Although
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: you could clearly see Bone when they picked up their
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: perform rmans in the second half and Pachettino started making
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: some subs, you know, Desk and Freeman and guys that
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: got in there Tillman Like, you could see that they
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: were going forth then, but I'm not sure they much cared.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: They wanted to get guys playing time that hadn't played,
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: and I think that makes total sense in case you
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: have injuries and need suspensions and need to play some
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: of these guys. But consequently, I think we found out
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: why some of the guys are backups.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah said depth, there might might be an issue if
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: it was needed. However, I'm not too concerned about that
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: going forward. Hack of a finish on a last effort goal.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was not what we wanted, but man,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: it was a heck of a finish there by Turkey.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: And I will say this, they didn't win the game
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: on the scoreboard, but to what you're saying about injuries, suspensions,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: getting out in full, getting ready for Boston on Wednesday,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: they almost won the game and in the fact away because
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: they got out of there without any problems. So yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the score is one thing, but they are now in
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: full for Bosnia and they're arrested, they're ready to go,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: so that in itself could be considered a win for
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: Had Turkey A wins three to in a late stoppage
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: time goal literally like the last literally last kick of
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: the game. Essentially, I do think it's obvious that our
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: center back depth is not good. I mean, I think
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: we kind of knew this, but watching McKenzie and Miles
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Robinson play together, those two first half goals, to me
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: were a real reminder that if we don't have Richard's
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: and reim that it's a little dicey back there, there's
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: no doubt about it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: To me.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Some of the other depth guys I thought played really good.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Burholter I thought was just amazing. The goal was great,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: his passing was great. And how about Christian Polisic. This
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: might be the most important thing is that Christian Polisic
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: got thirty plus minutes and looked very lively. Now, I
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: get nutmegged at the end leading to the final goal
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: that was pretty ugly, but in terms of like, he
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: looked great running up and down that left sideline, So
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: I think that is certainly big as well. But I
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: don't get the goalkeeper thing. I don't get why what
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, Matt Freeze to me needs one, Yeah, why
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Matt Freeze? How many shots did Matt freeze really face
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: against Paraguay and Australia, whereas you know, Bone, Turkey a
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: was going to be was going to challenge the goalkeeper
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: and challenge the defense more. They have a bunch of
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: big club players. We knew they were going to play
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: with the ball more than teams like Australian Paraguay that
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: just sit back and then try to counter on you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: So this would have been a perfect game for me.
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: And you got a defense in front of him that,
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: unfortunately in the first half well actually on the final
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: goal too, allowed Turkey to get in these dangerous positions
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: that Paraguay and Australia never got in. And Turner on
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: that last goal, I mean he was far from alone
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: on this, but there was nobody at the back post.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: But Turner tries to charge it and ball goes right
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: through his legs. But like I would have kept freezing there.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: But then again, I'm reminded Bone that I coach kids
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: soccer and don't get paid a cent. Mauricio Pachettino is
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: one of the greatest managers in the world and gets
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: paid millions.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but sure, you're right up there and you're you're
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: paid in uh hugs and hand.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Pounds in that matter, hugs hand pounds. So you not you?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: So Bosnia Wednesday eight, right, that's the next game in
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: San Francisco, and stay on the West coast. Don't say
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Levi Stadium. You're not allowed to say that. It's in
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: San Francisco's football park. Who do they play? I know
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the bracket's not all set yet. What's the the matchup
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: we most likely play if we if we move on
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: from that game, the winner of that Egypt Belgium group
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: could be could be the matchup, and Belgium does not
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: look good at all, and Egypt may win that group.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: But who's to say Egypt wins that group and wins
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: their next matchup, you know, against whoever they end up playing.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: So but that is a strong possibility. There is a
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: strong possibility.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: Bone matter of fact, I would say it's likely if
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: they beat Bosnia they will not have to play a
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: top fifteen team in the world until the quarterfinals. This path,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: because I don't know. If you notice some of the
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: matchups that are developing, yep, dude, Brazil, Japan and Netherlands
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: Morocco are insane for top thirty. For around the thirty
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: two matchups like especially Netherlands. Morocco, like Netherlands won their
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: group in style and their reward is the number seventh
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: ranked team in the world in Morocco. So like we
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you this, this draw that we got, the
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: group that we were in, and the pathway Bone like
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: it's it's there's a ton of opportunity.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Man, what really is one of the World Cup observation
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: not in the direct US path per se right now.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: But Germany doesn't look great either, man. Germany had that
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: great win right away seven to one of a Cursow,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: then they got down and had to rally against Ivory Coast.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Ivory Coast has been all right, right, they'd a rally
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: in that game. And then Ecuador yesterday beats Germany. So
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: of all the powers, like I have not been impressed,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: while Soccer Bone has not been impressed with the lose
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: your money.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Does that any translation they lost soccer Bone? No, no, no, no, no,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: they did not. I've been staying away. I don't trust
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Germany right now.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think this is a you know, one
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: of their all time great teams by Andy Stretch. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: do think their group's pretty good though. Also that side
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: of cure style. Ivory Coast is good and Ecuador is
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: a good team. They had just not been playing well.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: They got so screwed by the way on that first goal.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: How the hell you kick him? How was Germany allowed
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: to kick a man in a face and then go
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: and score a goal? And that is not good? Doesn't
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: go to va r It's crazy, But they responded. They
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: didn't lose their cool.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: They were quick.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Yet some South some teams from you know, South America,
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: lose their cool. They didn't lose their cool over that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: They got it. They got an equalizer immediately and then
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: they end up winning it.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: So on that man they advanced. You mentioned yesterday how
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: cool to is to see the smaller countries. I don't
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: always have success, have moments like that. That was one
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: yesterday watching Ecuador do what they did. Mac soccer who's
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: got talent though, man don't put them in like sturdy
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: soccer bone. Soccer bone has a little bit of a
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: gripe though sometimes with these uniforms Germany really threw me
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: off yesterday, the blue uniforms that really I don't green.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: There's that green, that green blue, I don't know that really.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: When I put that game on, it took me a minute.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: D I figure out who was Ecuador? Who's Germany?
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: There?
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Momentarily, I will I will tell Gianni at FIFA, I
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: will let him know that soccer Bone is confused. Sometimes
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: they don't always put on the screen necessarily who's who
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: all the time. Every once in a while. Canada Switzerland
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: the other day had me bamboozoed for a couple of minutes.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: If you look on the side of the score bug
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: at the top, you will see a line and it'll
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: be the color of the UH uniform. So like Canada
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: had a white line, Switzerland had the red line. See
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: there you go, soccer Bone.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: You could see where like a nod soccer person per
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: se would be confused by Canadia Switzerland. And I didn't
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: have the volumequads, and I didn't have the volume up
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: on that game either, So I'm sitting there trying to
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: figure out, Oh my god, which team did I bet on?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Do I share that goal or not? That I don't
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: bet at all these games.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: I have a gripe that field last night in La
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: that grass that they put down that makes I'm sure
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: all the RAMS players angry because they won't do it
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: for them and the Chargers players way too much slipping
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: on that field last night, and if the US go
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: of around to sixteen, that's where they're gonna play.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: So that's not ideal. No pitch was cheeks.
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: Seriously, We're in the World Cup, We're in the biggest
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: competition of the world in the sport, and the field
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: that you put in there, I mean, guys were slip
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: sliding all over the place.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Man. So anyway, that's that kind of that's that don't
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: look good to me.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: But anyway, when we come back, how was the reaction
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: to the LaMelo trade yesterday? We hear from some media
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: members and did local media get a word out of
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: schwotk In on the deal? They sure tried Sports Radio
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: ninety two seven WFNZ.
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: Basically, what Charlotte is looking at if they're looking at
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: a player who plays seventy two games this year and
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: it's got three years left and it is a part
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: of the future, or are we going to capitalize on
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: a really strong year for Charlotte team was one of
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: the best success stories after the second Earrison second half
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: of the season. Now, the interesting part is we've talked
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: about John Morant and now we're talking about LaMelo Ball.
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: Two potential point guards out there that are going to
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: be in.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: Play Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ, that is
• 21:03
  Speaker 9: Bobby Marx.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Bobby mars Bone was one of numerous national media members
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: that liked the trade better for the Charlotte Hornets. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: saw four different draft grades done for this trades, like ESPN, CBS,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: Bleach Report, and Yahoo. I think we're the four. Every
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: one of them gave the Hornets a better grade. So
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: it is so interesting to see the way the national
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: media feels about this trade. Oh, they've created cap space,
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: they added to their draft kitty, they which is loaded up.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: They created the biggest trade exception in the history of
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: the league to go out and pursue another player and
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: not have his salary forty one million of account against
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: the cap. So they see the method to the madness
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: here and fans I think were emotional. We were in
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: love with last year's team. It's the first time we
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: had fun in like a decade, and that team was
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: so much fun. The youth, the style of play, the
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: offensive efficiency, and LaMelo was such a big part of
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: it that I just think we've been in our feelings
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: about it because we just finally had something fun happen.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: We didn't want to see that end. But I think
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: if you could take a step back, and that's what
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: I'm curious, have people taking a step back over the
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: last day, I think you might be able to understand
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: the method. I'm thinking the Hornets believe LaMelo Ball will
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: be injured again. I honestly think that's what they think.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of us, and us included yesterday
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: in the moment, have post traumatic basketball disorder around here
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: as well, where we always think the worst thing is
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: about to happen. So the immediate reaction of some was
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: sell tickets and then you know, you know, we're back
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: to twenty five wins, We're we're back to the bottom
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: of the Eastern Conference. I don't think right now at
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Jeff Peterson we're going backwards. I think that if you
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: look at what he has both in players and assets,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: it's going to still be a good basketball team. Mac
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: It'll just be a different deed will lose the entertainment
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: value of Mellow obviously and all that he does. But
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I still think this is going to be a good
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: basketball team. And I'm saying that right now, and they're
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: not done yet I think when this is all said
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: and done, they might not be far from where they were.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: It's just a different basketball team. So what you said
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: of the one we fell in love.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: With you, I don't want to get a twisted if
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: they feel this current team right now they are not
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: as good as last year's team they saw. I've worked,
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: you had Kobe White coming off the bench. But I
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: do think there's a feeling that Miles Bridges will be traded.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: I know the reports yesterday from Sean saying there is
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: a lot of interest in him, which is interesting. He's
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: going into the final year of his deal. That you've
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: added Nasried a player that how many of us brought
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Nasri up specifically in the past when talking about what
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: kind of stretch for it would be nice to add.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: To this team.
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: Now he's been a six man a six man a year.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: He might be your starter now as Kobe's been a
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: was off the bench, he ups in starting role. But
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: there's they didn't want They didn't They didn't do this
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: and get this forty one million dollar trade exception to
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: let it go to the waste, Like there's something.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I think something sizable could be coming.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Isn't that right in the range of of Sibonis kind of.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: Also, it's very close. It's almost Sibonis's full salary. It's
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: right there where it's like, is there. Yeah, that makes
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: a lot of sense. I thought we got so much
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: audio to play. I mean, you're gonna hear local reaction
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: from the streets, You're gonna hear uh, national, You're gonna
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: hear everything today, mag I thought Zach Woe, who we
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: may trust the most from the basketball standpoint of breaking
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: stuff down. He had the very interesting stuff yesterday about
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: a reason why the Hornets from basketball point of view,
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: may have said, we may need to make a change
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: here to get where we want to go. Well, why
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: don't we just hear that, then let's do that. About
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: that you asked for it, we give it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: To you, baby, John.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: I'm like John Stotting, got my short shorts on, and
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I gave Karl Malone to ro and then you're gonna
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: don't go over to Horny over here, Jeff Horner.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: Saying, all right, so this is what you're talking about.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Zach Lowe thinks the Hornets don't trust necessarily the physicality
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: of LaMelo ball.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: If you ask me, why did they do this.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: I think it really comes down to a physical toughness
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: question that they have about LaMelo Ball that you watch
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: these playoff series Oklahoma City, San Antonio, San Antonio, New
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: York and you just envision like this is a dude
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: front runner is too strong of a term, fast and loose,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: like when the game's fun, that's when he's at his best.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do in game five zero
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: playoff series when Steph Castle has been in your jersey
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: for five straight games, when you're switching between Jalen Williams
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: and Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso bumping you physically, just
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: man handling you up and down the court, are you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: actually game for that? Because if you're going to be
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a serious team, that's what you gotta be. Gamed four
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and I think this trade says yes, there's these ancillary
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: salary pick benefits and faith in Brandon Miller and Continent
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Bull and all that. The Hornets know the numbers, they
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: know their offense wasn't good when LaMelo was on the bench.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: They know all of that stuff, and they decided, they
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: decided anyway that we just don't think we can win
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: the biggest games with this guy on our team. I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: think that's really what it boils down to.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: When there's no doubt, teams as a strategy, if they're
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: really trying to stop LaMelo, they will really they really
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: try to get physical with them, There's no doubt about it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: And then the Orlando games part of that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Although in the second half LaMelo had a lot of success,
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: he was far from the only guy who struggle with physicality.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Con and Brandon couldn't handle physicality either. Con probably wasn't
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: physically one hundred percent at the end of the year.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: In fairness to him. I do want to say this though,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: bone like LaMelo ball, his ability to create off the bounce,
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: attract the defense, and then guys like Miller and Kobe
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: and Con were in space, You're gonna lose that. You're
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: gonna lose that ability. Now all of a sudden, Brandon,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: Miller and Con they probably got to do more on ball.
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: So this is a huge challenge for those guys. But
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: then again, we don't know who else is joining the team,
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean, So there's that part of
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: it as well.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting way to look at it. And I
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: read what Zach Loow was saying, as they feel that
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: LaMelo can be really good to a certain point. Maybe
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: in the regular season he can get them to the
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: play and he can get them to a series. But
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: when you start looking at where they want to go
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: in a series against Detroit, where they're gonna man you
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: up physically, is that the guy they want in there?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: The Knicks have a physical mindset. Even a team like
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Miami with Davion Mitchell now they as the lead point guard.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: There are some physical teams in the path when you
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: get to those series. Or the Hornets said, we like
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Melo to a point, but if we want to go further,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: we have to almost change a little bit how we
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: play the game.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, again, I keep going back to yesterday.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure this brass was really ever fully sold
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: on LaMelo's health. They had to limit his minutes severely
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: boned to twenty eight minutes a game to get him
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: through it, and I'm not sure they think he's gonna
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: stay healthy. There could definitely be some of what you're saying,
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: like they're not trying to just get in there. They're
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: trying to build a team ultimately down the road. They're
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: also not press bone like the fans are we as fans,
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: and this is part of the reaction to the trade.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: We as fans are like, how do you not try
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: to add to the core and make this a fifty
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: win team? We just had this amazing second half of
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: the season. How do you not try to build on it?
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: Whereas I don't think they're in near as much of
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: a hurry as we are. Right right, they are taking
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: their time and if we take a step back in
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: order to take two steps forward. I think the brass
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: is fine with that, whereas with us, it's like, man,
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: we just you finally put a product on the court.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: We are excited about let's go, let's build that momentum.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: So I think that's a part of the big I
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: don't think it's connected. But I don't think Jiff Peterson
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: is GMing under pressure. I think they know that dude
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: is good there and as safe as can be. He
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: knows he's got a plan. He's like, yeah, I'm gonna
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: make this move. I'm not I'm not under the pressure
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: that I have to win next year, two series or something.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: He's confident, he's comfortable now where we feel like you
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: should win fifty games next year, and get a top
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: six seeds. By the way, what Miami did getting Giannis
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: and Haliburton coming back, this is gonna be tougher next year.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: So depending on what kind of team we put out there.
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: I mean this, I don't know. Could be playing Villa again, honestly.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: But but with that said, we got a lot of
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: resources to go out and bring in ballers if we
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: want to.
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: I want to get to Philadelphia. Is gonna be better
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: next year? Edgecombe year two, I'm tell having back See,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be a heck of a backcore going forward.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: I'm told this is the year MB's really healthy too,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: speaking of guys that can't stay healthy. All right, let's
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: do use that trade on a beat here, No, let's
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: go to trading one injury prone guy and bringing in
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: another would be would be something that'd be a move.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: All right? All right, let's get to the Minnesota side
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: of things. Uh KB.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Last night talk to John Zinski. He covers Minnesota for
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Bone and I thought that was the guy that played
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: Jim Halpert on the Office. Turns out Bone he is
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: the guy that covers Minnesota for the Athletic and he
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: revealed that Minnesota's been trying for two years to acquire
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: LaMelo Ball.
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: Tim Connolly, the president of basketball operations with the Wolves,
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: and Chris Finch, the head coach, have long believed that
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: LaMelo Ball's combination of size, vision, passing, shot creation, floor spacing,
• 30:33
  Speaker 10: all of that is the perfect fit to be alongside
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: Anthony Edwards to another guy who's an unbelievable catch and
• 30:40
  Speaker 10: shoot shooter who needs to have the defense spread out
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: so we can get to the basket and need someone
• 30:47
  Speaker 10: to kind of facilitate the way that an offense needs
• 30:50
  Speaker 10: to run. And so they've tried several times over the
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: past couple of years to see if the Hornets were
• 30:55
  Speaker 10: interested in trading LaMelo Ball and got rebussed every time.
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: And last night, right after the second round concluded, it
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: started to come out that know, the Hornets were really
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: starting to seriously consider offers, and the Wolves got all
• 31:13
  Speaker 10: in immediately.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: So there you're going to be trying for a minute
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: to get to get Lamello and pair them with Edwards.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to pull for your point there, but
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: that's a fascinating angle of this. On the other side,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: that is two different personalities than Edwards and Mellow, And
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: how does that blend the free flowing, free spirit LaMelo
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: who's not afraid mat to take some shots at times
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: that you'd say, oh, that might not be good. With
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: the dog mentality of Anthony Edwards, that'll be interesting to
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: watch that.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: I think Edwards will be great for LaMelo. I think
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: this is because LaMelo didn't have anybody here on the team.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, you could say Miles Bridges, but they were
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: real close. Did Miles really get on them? I feel
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: like ant Man will get on him. A man's a
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: dog that wants to win. And by the way, this
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: team wins playoff series.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: I know they got a little worse on the front
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: line obviously lose Randall trade nas reed to us, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: they're gonna be expected to win, and if they're not,
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: there's pressure. They're gonna be more pressure there. LaMelo's gonna
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: feel I almost wonder if that guy to kick him
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: in the rear end could help him out a little bit.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: And I hope it goes well for LaMelo. I really do.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: I know some people, you know, I don't know. There's
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: some people seem to be bashing LaMelo on the way
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: out here in Charlotte, whatever, but I certainly wish him
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: the best. But I also hope it works out for
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: us as a team, and I still think there is
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: a chance to get work. I wouldn't have done the
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: trade still bone, but I think there's a chance that
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: this front office can make it work. By the way,
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: the most amazing thing I read yesterday about LaMelo was
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: in John Krasinski's article did you see this about about
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: Lamello's interview process with the Timberwolves during the draft?
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, I did, Yes, Yes.
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: This is this.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, I fell off the couch. They remember, they
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: draft ant Man over LaMelo and we get LaMelo during
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: the same draft. And a part of the reason, Krazinsky
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: says is because the interview for the Mellow pre draft
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: did not go well with the Timberwolves. One of the
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: things that put them off is they asked him, what
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: do you see yourself doing when you're done playing basketball?
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: He says, I'd like to be president of the United States?
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: And they thought that kind of a weir response.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, facts, fam, that state of that Union would be
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: really short?
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: He what, and he.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: Questions, fam, facts, how many cuss words would he drop
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: in the State of the Union as well?
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Accidentally, Oh my.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: God, someone would say, why is why is the motorcade
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: going so fast around DC?
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Oh? Well, President Mellow took it for an Oh.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: I'm curious, though, bone, what does ninety two think. We've
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: got him on hand, ninety two. Do you think Lamello
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: could make it as a president or No?
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: It takes a very sophisticated kind of man to be
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: in the White House, and I don't know lamellow Ball
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: has those qualities. Leave this game though, of watching him
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: sho ninety two. There's also a lot of temptation in
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: that house too, you know what I mean? I have
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: a touch of a Monica before she was up. My intern.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: Mat could be really great if you were actually good
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: at impressions, because we have ninety two one hand, we
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: have Bill Clinton on hand.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: If you could do like an Obama Spurrier, but you know.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: If you have presidential pitching around a little bit, I
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: can only say certain things a spurrier, though, All I
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: can say is getting there, pitching around, coach him up.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Could you imagine if he was president? If Spurry would
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: have ran for president?
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Be shirtless on the on the golf court.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: A ripping prime ministers left and right on there a
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: whole lot different from right now ninety two. You took
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: the words out of my mouth. I'm like, how is
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: that different?
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Anyway?
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Real quick, because there was a charity event that our ownership,
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: Plocke and Schnall were at yesterday for their work that
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: they do would nourish up often awesome charitable cause here
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: that we've worked with here at WFNZ, And of course
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: the media wanted to hear about the LaMelo trade, which
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: isn't even official yet, so technically they can't talk about.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: Jeff Peterson said the same thing at the presser yesterday
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: for the draft picks, but Schnaul did talk about like
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: the timeline you know for building a great team.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: Yes, transformation takes time. You know, we established this this
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: vision and mission to be the premier franchise. We know
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: that it's gonna take time, and it takes tough decisions
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: to get there, and it takes an organization that's bought in,
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: and we feel we feel like we're in a great place.
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: We're in a great place. We have a great city,
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: we have a great community, and we're building a great
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: team and we have an incredible fan base and so
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: we feel like We're exactly where we want to be.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: So there you go. It's again take time. They are
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: willing to take time with this bone. I don't think
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: they expected to have a season like they did last year. Yeah,
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: I think they feel like that was a little ahead
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: of schedule, And to your point, I don't. I think
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: they are worried about the long game, becoming one of
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: the best teams in the East, challenging to win the East.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: Whereas fans, I think we're like, you won forty four
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: after the slow start, Let's keep this core for the
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: most part, build on it here or there, let's win
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: fifty you know what I mean? Like I think we
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: want an incremental growth. I think they're more worried about
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: what are we going to be in two years, three years,
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: that sort of thing.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I think our plan was probably to deal Mellow as
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: soon as he got healthy and his value was at
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: the highest it can be. Tom Haberstrow said yesterday, Think
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: about what his value was a year ago compared to now.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: They tried to move him a year ago, what would
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: they have gotten compared to now? So I think they
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: might have went into the season thinking, if he stays healthy,
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: no matter what, happens this season, will look to see
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: what we can do.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: It just happened to be to.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Your point, Hey, they had a great year, but in
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: their minds, hey, mellow was the plan was to move
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: off of Melow anyway to year point. Do you think
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: when they acquired Kobe White do you think they were thinking,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: because they told you right up front we wanted his
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: bird rights.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: I want to sign him.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: And I'll tell you how about this though you say,
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: good point, Phitty's were trying to wrap it up, Phitty,
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: this is very important. This is bone getting a compliment
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: from me. All right, this is a historic moment on
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: this show. The uh you said when we ear when
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: we traded for Kobe White, you threw in as one
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: of the reasons. Maybe the front office views this as
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: if they want to part with LaMelo, a guy that
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: could take over as point guard this team.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: And what did I do? Boh, that's a terrible idea.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: What are you tired about about? I'll be damned if
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: you didn't call that. That's It's very possible they were thinking.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure, but very possible that's what
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: they were thinking.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: That they wanted a guy in place and I had
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: the search for one, and then they could easily sell
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: it as this is our guy now and that could
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: be what's happening there we come back. James plow Wright,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: British buzz Him reacts to the move yesterday.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: I think he whites the move. Sports Radio ninety two
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: seven WFNZ.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: Sports Radio ninety two to seven WFNZ Macken Bone with you.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: So we did.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: We won a lot of different takes and opinions because
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: there is such a wide variety of opinions on this
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: LaMelo ball tray we were mentioning a national media seems
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: to like ninety percent of them love it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: For the Hornets fans.
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: It's it's definitely Even a day later, Bone, it's still
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: the majority is like, man, why did we do this?
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: So we want to keep getting different opinions on it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: And speaking of different opinions, let's just go to a
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: different continent man, a guy that covers the Hornets all
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: the way from England, and we love him for it,
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: his Hornet's passion even when things are really bad, Bone nineteen,
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: game bad. This man is like up in the middle
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: of the night over there in England watching Hornet's game
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: Hornet's game. You can catch him on the Buzzbeat podcast.
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: He is James plow Ride British Buzz on Twitter and
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: he joins us here on the Mac and Bone Show. James,
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: what's going on, man? How you doing?
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I am okay.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I'm recovering from a hectic and unexpected day yesterday. I
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: thought it's been so quiet after the draft, but Jess,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: he isn't.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: You thought the big news was gonna be the Hornets
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: signed Wyatt Fricks of Marshall and that turns out and
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: it was bigger news to happen.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: Oh my god. So it's interesting you. Bone was messaging
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: with you like just after the shams like report, like
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: before it even became official, and you were like, yeah,
• 39:49
  Speaker 6: I have to be honest, I understand it. Like so
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: when they made the deal and you saw what we
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: got back, Like, do you you think Charlotte made a
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: good move.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I think Charlotte no LaMelo Ball better than anybody. If
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: they're willing to make this difficult of a trade, which
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: is so bold and cut throat, then I think that
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: they know the player. I support their decision. Look, Lameli Ball,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: no doubt this is going to I think make the
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: team worse in the short term. But this team, the
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: leadership group have talked time and time again that they're
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: not interested in chasing the seed. And they looked at
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: this set of playoffs, they looked at the playing games,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: and they went, we don't know if lamali Ball is
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: our best player is going to get us to this level,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: and if he's not, they need to prevent you from
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: adding the next best player because of the way the
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: contracts work and the way that the draft works, and
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: they don't believe lamali Ball is the right player to
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: take them to the point. So look, the package was
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: not what I think a lot of fans would have
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: hoped to get back. But that's down to all the
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: reasons the Hornets traded him in the first place, injuries, leadership, maturity,
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: contract value, defense efficiency, late game execution, his lack of
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: improvement in certain areas. So that's why they didn't get
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: this big hole back. It's also why they traded him.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Do you think that the Kobe White trade in hindsight
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: now makes sense that they got Kobe White here for
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: this to happen, that they could move Mellow and have
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: a guy in place already here in Kobe White.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: I think it will have been a possibility. I still
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: think there was a world where Lamela's Day this year
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: and they brought Kobe White back. I think Kobe White
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: is even pushed back on some of the reporting This
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: morning on his social media there was a report saying
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: that he wanted to go start elsewhere, and he's kind
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: of tweeted out, don't believe everything you read. So I
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: think that was one of the options. It's one of
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the good additions about adding Kobe White. If something did
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: come up with the other ball, you've got already made replacement.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: But I don't think this was a galaxy brain. That
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: has kind of been planned back in February, and this
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: is always the plan. I think. You know, as an
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: NBA team, you have different options available to you, and
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: in the end they have gone on through.
• 42:01
  Speaker 6: James plow Right with US Buzzbeat podcast. Those guys do
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: an awesome job talking Hornets ball. So James, let's the
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: big question though, is right, what's next? Because it just
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: feels like you didn't pick up the league's highest trade
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: exception almost forty one million for nothing, right, like, so
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: what's next? You also have a ton of assets to
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: use too, if you make a deal, Like, what are
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: your theories on what's next? We had a local TV reporter,
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: Micha Lasette here report that the Hornets are one of
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: the teams that Sham's was alluding to when Seams said,
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: Boston is talking Jalen Brown trade with multiple teams, Like
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: is that a move you could see happening? Is it
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: something else? Like what's next?
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: It's possible.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: I mean Jalen Brown wouldn't fit into that trade exception,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: so that have to be other ways to get there.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: But it all comes down to what Charlotte want to do.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Like I say, forty point seven million trade exception, they
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: can get any player earning that money that's near max
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: money for some players straight in with a sending any
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: salary outgoing. So this is why it's hard to judge
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: this trade in the moment because it's like, well, what's
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: going to happen with the assets that you pick up
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: from it? You kind of we need to wait a
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: little bit to the whole picture. I would be surprised
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: if they went out and added like another win now
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: piece because then it just feels a little bit confusing,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: like you take the Melo ball away, you then go
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: and try and you know, take a step forward again.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: It's like two sepsible ones at back. I think maybe
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: more likely, and I don't know if this would be popular,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: but you could take in more bad money, right and
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: get more first round picks, which they are just collecting
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: this treasure show.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: They've got the.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Second most future first round picks of any team in
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: the NBA, so I they could maybe not even be
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: sure how they're going to use it. It could be well,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: what are the offers. If we can get two first
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: round picks, we're taking a bad salary, will do it?
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Or if we can get access to I don't know,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Jarrett Allen, Hey, we'll use it in a more positive
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: way and they us get batter So there's options. The
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: trade exception lasts a full year, so they don't have
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: to use it the summer. They could use it at
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline or before the draft next year, so
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I might. I would kind of worn against it necessarily
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: being used in an immediately corresponding moved, although it is
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: a possibility.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: What do you think of the nas Reid acquisition as
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: part of this? And I'm wondering, and I saw some
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: people yesterday bring up the name I'm wondering could he
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: be this generation's Anthony Mason, a great bench player where
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: he was, comes to Charlotte, becomes a starter, and his
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: game expands even more. What do you think of nas
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: and how he fits in here to the equation.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: He's a really interesting and unique player, and he definitely
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: brings a level of spacing from the fullest spot size
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: of shooting, which the Shart Hornets just don't have anywhere
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: on the roster. I mean, Grant Williams, Miles Bridge is
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: the sixty sixth, Maus Reed is like a legit six ten.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: He almost plays more like a guard or a wing
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: in terms of his style. I think it's a really
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: interesting bit of an upside swing. Like say he's coming
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: off the bench in Minnesota. He's been sick manber year once,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: if not maybe twice, and I think the Hornet's being
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: able to use him in a lot of I think
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: it's an interesting addition. I'm not one hundred percent sure
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: that he'll like definitely stay Horner. I think EBC that
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: reported that the Hornets do like him, but if someone
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: comes and blows their tops off or another trade offer,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: he doesn't tick all the boxes in terms of like,
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: he's not a great defender. He doesn't like to drive,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: getting to the rim or getting to the foul line,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: and those are things that you probably want to surround
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Brandon Miller and Konk Nipple with someone of that player type.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: So I wouldn't say it's a perfect fit, but there
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: are definitely ways that he can help this team.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: Last thing I want to ask you about the Hornets
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: is we did have a draft. It feels now feels
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: like that was like a month ago because this LaMelo
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: trade worldwin. What did you think about getting Hannes Steinbach
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: in Christian Anderson in the first round.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the steinback pick. He was talent on
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: my board. I thought he not only was he really
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: good talent available, but he also fits a bunch of
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: what the Hornets are looking for. He immediately is their
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: most skilled big and versatile big offensively in terms of
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: like playmaking and potentially shooting and being able to do
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit more with the ball rather than kind
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: of just like, you know, dive to the rim and
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: dunk it like Lisa and colbrend Ado. And he's just
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: one of the best rebounders and best pair of hands
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: that we've seen in the draft in recent years, so
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: really excited about Hanna Steinbach. Christian Anderson eighteen was a
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: pick that was probably a little bit lower on either
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: towards my late first round. I just you know, we
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: watched this playoffs. Small guards under six to two just
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: so rarely factor into the playoffs. Now you might be
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: screaming at the phone saying, what about Jamon Brunson. Well, yeah,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: but he's built like a fridge guy. You know, Christian
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Anderson is skinny. He's like one hundred and eighty pounds
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: six one and three quarters. But you know, absolutely if
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: he can put on some weights, he can survive defensively.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: He is one of the best shooters to come out
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: of the draft from in terms of shooting from beyond
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: the arc since twenty twenty. I saw some stats of
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: the day like his combination of volume, self created attempts
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: and efficient from well beyond the college line and those
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: deep threes is pretty special. So and he can play
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: make too. He's not just a shooters, so there's some
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: real gifts there. It's for me, it's mainly about the defense.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Can you survive defensively? And Charlotte Schien, look it managed
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: to hide LaMelo ball pretty effectively defensively last year, so
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: it could be a good fit for Anderson too.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: All right, now, it's going to be interesting.
• 47:21
  Speaker 6: We love your passion for the Hornets and your knowledge
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: of the game from over there in England is damn
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: good too. I need to ask you, though. We are
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: loving the World Cup here in the US. We're loving
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: a lot of the euro fans being here and like partying.
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: The Scots have been insane, the Norwegian row. We can't
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: get enough of that. The games are on. It a
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: great time for us in the States. But I need
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: to ask over there in England, like does the World Cup?
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: Does it lose a little bit because a lot of
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: the games are played like when y'all are sleeping, have
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: you been to join it?
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: You're right, it does lose it a little bit, especially
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: for like young people because they're on so late. Kids
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: used to like I remember watching my first World Cup
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: match when I was seven years old, So it has
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: lost a little bit of its edge just with them
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: being on so late. And you know, there's some cynicism
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: about these hydration breaks. Oh yeah, it's good annoying of
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: that nature. But you know, as we get to these
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: knockout stages and you get some bigger matchups, and I
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: think the excitement, the level is going to grow. But
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: obviously the Sony teams qualifying for the next round, it's
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: been strange. But how about USA. I mean, I know
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: they lost off night, but they've been playing really well
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see them do well in a
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: home tournament.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: I love that of the best even in the world.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Some are saying right.
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: Now are saying people are saying, you lost, James cremony,
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: he got a little greedy, James. We just like the
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: acknowledgment from somebody in a soccer nation like yourself.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: We like that recognition.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: All right, brother, Hey, keep Harry Kane away from the
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: witch doctors and the low blocks too. Hopefully you don't
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: see that again any time soon. All right, brother, be
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: good man. We always appreciate you.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Thanks guys.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: All right, there you go.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: That is James plow right, So he is more on
• 49:04
  Speaker 6: the side of understanding what they're doing. He's preaching more
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: patients like don't go out there and necessarily you don't
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: have to go win now with your next move. So
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: we'll talk about all of that when we come back.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: We've had a data process. The mellow trade. Our fans
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: still ticked in Mac. How about this for a tease,
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: I ask him interesting bio information on your new guy,
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: nas Reed and what's his nickname?
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: How about that? Sports Radio ninety two seven WFNZ
