Speaker 1: Owen's Mac and Foe on your radio. Baby, this is
0:07
Speaker 1: mavree Man.
0:09
Speaker 2: Posh, Come on, posh, this is Mavreem team Bone.
0:13
Speaker 1: What does the fun I can't go to work without
0:16
Speaker 1: listening to the Mac and Bones do a lot.
0:33
Speaker 3: Yes, I would. I've done a deep dive into him,
0:36
Speaker 3: as I did with a die Mora. I don't think
0:38
Speaker 3: Dallas is going to take more. They have Lively and
0:41
Speaker 3: they really need a point guard to go with Kyrie Irving,
0:44
Speaker 3: so I don't think that's gonna happen. But I love
0:47
Speaker 3: Mores Johnson. If I have the fourteenth pick and I'm
0:51
Speaker 3: the general manager of the Charlotte Hornets, I want to
0:53
Speaker 3: secure size. When you look at the Hornets last year,
0:56
Speaker 3: we talked about their offense, we talked about their three
0:59
Speaker 3: point shooting, but when you start to look at some
1:01
Speaker 3: of the areas that they were deficient in or not
1:04
Speaker 3: as strong at paint scoring. They were twenty fifth in
1:07
Speaker 3: the NBA Kyle and paint scoring. They were thirtieth in deflections,
1:12
Speaker 3: which typically means you know they have a lack of
1:14
Speaker 3: a defensive presence. So I think they need that rim protection.
1:18
Speaker 3: They need paint points and restricted arc points or at
1:22
Speaker 3: least more attempts because we know they're going to shoot
1:24
Speaker 3: the three point shot. Mores Johnson brings a seven to
1:28
Speaker 3: three wingspan, and more importantly right away, he brings NBA
1:32
Speaker 3: power strength plays with fourth. He'll help them on the
1:36
Speaker 3: defensive end and on the rebohinding end as well as scoring.
1:40
Speaker 3: I love this statistic that I found just by looking
1:43
Speaker 3: at it and studying. His free throw went up from
1:46
Speaker 3: sixty one percent his first year at Michigan to seventy
1:49
Speaker 3: eight percent. That tells me he can make the three
1:52
Speaker 3: point shot at a decent rate. Right now. He's shooting
1:55
Speaker 3: about thirty four percent when he left Michigan. I love
1:58
Speaker 3: everything about mores Johnson. If he's available at fourteen, secure
2:02
Speaker 3: the size.
2:03
Speaker 4: There you go. That is Paul be and Cardi ESPN.
2:06
Speaker 4: That was him joining us in the last couple of
2:10
Speaker 4: weeks leading up to tonight's first round of the NBA Draft.
2:13
Speaker 4: Put him on Team Morez Johnson. It is a big group, man, Texters.
2:19
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say we all agree bout but I
2:22
Speaker 4: think I think even if he's not your first choice
2:25
Speaker 4: at fourteen, it's it's hard to find anybody on the
2:28
Speaker 4: text line that has an issue if Mores Johnson's the
2:31
Speaker 4: guy taking at fourteen tonight and that yeah, and that's
2:33
Speaker 4: rare that that we can find.
2:34
Speaker 2: I mean, so gobody not mad about something that means thirteen,
2:40
Speaker 2: which brings us to us, which brings us to discussion
2:43
Speaker 2: now of what might you do tonight?
2:45
Speaker 4: Trade wise? In this draft. There's been a lot of
2:47
Speaker 4: team trade uppers out there, a lot of team trade uppers.
2:50
Speaker 4: I know there are some people that are adamantly opposed
2:54
Speaker 4: to team trade up. Walker Mail is one of those.
2:56
Speaker 4: Walker Mail keeps saying, Hey, I like Jeff Peterson's draft,
2:59
Speaker 4: and give him a couple more shots, right given, don't
3:03
Speaker 4: don't give him one arrow, give him two arrows to work.
3:08
Speaker 4: So there's that argument as well. We got to talk
3:10
Speaker 4: through that. There's so many different types of trades bone
3:13
Speaker 4: that have been rumored. There is the you know, different
3:16
Speaker 4: trade ups in the top ten. Remember the Sacramento one
3:19
Speaker 4: at seven. It's starting to make me wonder, now if
3:22
Speaker 4: you pull something like that, would you just take Mares Johnson?
3:25
Speaker 4: Like is this stock? And it's interesting in there where
3:29
Speaker 4: on that clip we were playing Paul be and Carty
3:31
Speaker 4: is talking about how I don't think you have to
3:34
Speaker 4: worry about. You know, Mares Johnson going to Dallas at
3:38
Speaker 4: number nine. That was before any of us knew that
3:41
Speaker 4: his college coach was going to coach the Dallas Mavericks.
3:45
Speaker 4: So now you're wondering, Okay, surely he takes one of
3:48
Speaker 4: those Michigan guys.
3:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, hell, he might move down and try to get
3:52
Speaker 2: more pays and take two Michigan guys.
3:54
Speaker 4: For all we know.
3:55
Speaker 2: We focused a lot on the packaging of fourteen to
3:58
Speaker 2: eighteen to move up in that thought process there. But
4:02
Speaker 2: if Mores Johnson is really one of the apples of
4:06
Speaker 2: their eye and they feel he's not going to be
4:09
Speaker 2: there at fourteen and they have to move up, they
4:12
Speaker 2: could always still move up without giving up both of
4:16
Speaker 2: the picks. So back, what do you think about trading
4:18
Speaker 2: up to get more as and maybe not sacrificing eighteen
4:22
Speaker 2: you sacrifice something of the future or not necessarily in
4:25
Speaker 2: this draft. I mean, we've got those focus on the
4:27
Speaker 2: two picks, but why can't we move up with trying
4:31
Speaker 2: to get more as and then whatever is there.
4:33
Speaker 4: At eighteen, maybe he's your twenty twenty seven pick. There
4:36
Speaker 4: you go. You know you got three, you could have
4:38
Speaker 4: three next year. You have the Dallas one that's only
4:40
Speaker 4: top two protected. You get the Miami one that's lottery protected.
4:44
Speaker 4: I don't you know, you're probably gonna have that one
4:46
Speaker 4: that now that Yannis, you know, although you have the
4:49
Speaker 4: new lottery rules I guess were if you losing the
4:51
Speaker 4: play in or whatever. But that chant, I think Miami's
4:54
Speaker 4: chances of that pick, you know, being outside the lottery
4:56
Speaker 4: probably went up. I think it's safe to say when
4:58
Speaker 4: they acquired Giannis yesterday. Yeah, I think that would be interesting.
5:02
Speaker 4: If they're dead set on having two picks in this
5:04
Speaker 4: draft and they're willing to give up one of those,
5:07
Speaker 4: I think that's not a bad idea. Would you give
5:09
Speaker 4: up one of those from next year? And like you
5:17
Speaker 4: package two to move like you still want to have two,
5:20
Speaker 4: is what you're saying. So you want to package to
5:22
Speaker 4: move up? How high do you want to move up?
5:24
Speaker 4: How how do you think you have to move up
5:26
Speaker 4: to get Morist?
5:26
Speaker 2: That's the problem because he worked out for the Nets
5:29
Speaker 2: the other day and that was as high as six,
5:30
Speaker 2: So that, yeah, Michael's the problem.
5:32
Speaker 4: Michael Scotto was theorizing is that not for the Nets themselves?
5:37
Speaker 4: But is that like is this all part of it
5:40
Speaker 4: even mentioned the Hornets. Could that be a spot where
5:42
Speaker 4: the Hornets end up trading up to or whatever? I
5:45
Speaker 4: would be more have to give up something from next year,
5:47
Speaker 4: thinking Hey, we're gonna be pretty good. We're gonna have
5:50
Speaker 4: an almost set roster we think going forward, we're not
5:54
Speaker 4: in a spot where we necessarily need to have three
5:57
Speaker 4: It's great to have talent, but we don't need to
5:59
Speaker 4: have three picks in the chamber unless we're saving those
6:03
Speaker 4: for something big. But I don't know if they written
6:08
Speaker 4: as Jeremy Wu said today, they're most linked to Morez,
6:11
Speaker 4: Johnson AND's timebock. Do they think they can get more
6:14
Speaker 4: as at fourteen or are they more apt to move
6:17
Speaker 4: up somewhere? But again it's hard to tell how high
6:20
Speaker 4: up do they have to go and is there a
6:21
Speaker 4: partner willing to move down for that. Yeah, mister Lucky
6:23
Speaker 4: says Morez won't be there at fourteen. It seems that's
6:25
Speaker 4: the vibe. I'm starting to get more and more as
6:28
Speaker 4: we go through this draft process. With the draft tonight,
6:31
Speaker 4: we're getting less. We're getting less Johnson. It's like, all right,
6:35
Speaker 4: he then interesting, I didn't mean interesting way of putting
6:39
Speaker 4: it that didn't that after In hindsight, that didn't sound
6:42
Speaker 4: right talking basketball. People talking basketball, they'll be a clip
6:46
Speaker 4: use against me seven four, five, seven, nine, six ten.
6:51
Speaker 4: Are their trade ideas that you like for this team
6:55
Speaker 4: or do you simply want to stand pat This texture says,
6:58
Speaker 4: I keep going back acquiring a veteran pick using number eighteen.
7:03
Speaker 4: Get a dude that you already know what he is.
7:06
Speaker 4: That would be in the Sabonis. Although a couple of
7:10
Speaker 4: textters brought up the fact that maybe this Sabonis thing's
7:12
Speaker 4: just on hold till after the draft. There was that
7:15
Speaker 4: report whereas Sacramento might be you might be able to
7:19
Speaker 4: just revisit this one and they might realize, shoot, we
7:21
Speaker 4: still want to kill this salary cap. You know, we
7:22
Speaker 4: still want to clear the salary cap space. So let's
7:25
Speaker 4: revisit it. The Daniel Gaffords one that sounded like a trick,
7:29
Speaker 4: like you would give Dallas eighteen and they would give
7:32
Speaker 4: you thirty. Yeah, and gafferds ad one doesn't really float
7:37
Speaker 4: my boat a whole lot there. I don't know that.
7:40
Speaker 2: While you were gone back there, while you were gone again,
7:43
Speaker 2: we're singing songs here, or since you've been gone there
7:45
Speaker 2: was some talk the other day of Dallas and the
7:48
Speaker 2: Thunder trying to come up with the deal where Dallas
7:52
Speaker 2: would move down from nine and get the Thunders picks
7:56
Speaker 2: at where are they at here? They're at twelve and seventeen,
8:00
Speaker 2: which was kind of weird of do you really want
8:02
Speaker 2: to help the Thunder there, Dallas? So maybe you're talking
8:07
Speaker 2: to Dallas about nine. If they were willing to move
8:09
Speaker 2: for the Thunder, that could be a spot that they.
8:12
Speaker 4: Were mentioned in one of the fourteen hundred reports I
8:15
Speaker 4: read at some point as a possible trade down team. Again,
8:18
Speaker 4: I don't know if that changes with Dusty May there,
8:20
Speaker 4: if he starts saying give me my give me one
8:22
Speaker 4: of my Michigan guys. But that's an interesting dynamic. Nine
8:25
Speaker 4: wouldn't be a bad spot. I like the idea the
8:29
Speaker 4: more I think about this. Your idea of giving up one,
8:32
Speaker 4: giving up your pick in the twenty twenty seven draft
8:36
Speaker 4: is an interesting one. If you're expect if you're thinking
8:39
Speaker 4: we can be a playoff team next year, that thing
8:41
Speaker 4: drops down a bit. And next year's draft is not
8:44
Speaker 4: expected to be as good as this year's draft. Yeah,
8:47
Speaker 4: so like, even if you're around eighteen next year maybe
8:50
Speaker 4: you're twenty or something, you know, twenty two, twenty one.
8:53
Speaker 4: So I'm like that pick. I don't think the conventional
8:56
Speaker 4: draft thought is that that pick is going to be
8:59
Speaker 4: as good eighteen is this year. This is seen as
9:02
Speaker 4: a special draft. Next year's draft. Bone is already getting
9:05
Speaker 4: dissed from what I read, so that that would go
9:09
Speaker 4: in line with Trump. Now, with that said, the team
9:11
Speaker 4: you're trying to trade up with knows that too, So
9:14
Speaker 4: I don't know if they if they hold out for
9:16
Speaker 4: fourteen and eighteen, do you do it to move up?
9:18
Speaker 4: If it guarantees mares Johnson? What about no?
9:21
Speaker 2: What about or did you just take Steinbach and someone else?
9:23
Speaker 2: What about this idea?
9:25
Speaker 1: Here?
9:25
Speaker 2: And again we're just throwing stuff out there where we're
9:28
Speaker 2: trying to come up with something, you know, for right,
9:30
Speaker 2: we look like genius is if we're wrong, pretend it
9:32
Speaker 2: never happened. So Dallas has we mentioned, has nine. Oh,
9:35
Speaker 2: Hornet's fourteen and eighteen. Dallas has nine. Dallas also has
9:40
Speaker 2: thirty in this draft. Would you trade fourteen and eighteen
9:43
Speaker 2: for nine and thirty?
9:46
Speaker 1: Oh?
9:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, because I'd probably trade fourteen and eighteen if
9:48
Speaker 4: it gets me moress Johnsy yeah, you obviously be moving
9:50
Speaker 4: down from eighteen. So if you throw at thirty and yeah,
9:52
Speaker 4: you get more.
9:53
Speaker 2: As at nine and then who knows what what happens
9:55
Speaker 2: at thirty that gives you a little sweetenerd where you
9:57
Speaker 2: still have a pick there.
9:59
Speaker 4: You know tonight you still end up with a pick.
10:02
Speaker 4: That's not a bad idea. I like it, Bone Bone,
10:04
Speaker 4: You've been on a you and Bill Simmons been on
10:06
Speaker 4: that trade machine together. That's the hell of an idea,
10:08
Speaker 4: one of the trader bone Baby. The one problem with
10:11
Speaker 4: that idea, though, is who you're trading with. We've heard
10:15
Speaker 4: Mara connected to Dallas now right, But if Dusty may
10:20
Speaker 4: and Dallas thinks that the Horders are getting more as
10:22
Speaker 4: Johnson at nine, is that maybe who they would want
10:24
Speaker 4: to keep at nine for. We don't know necessarily what
10:28
Speaker 4: Michigan player all Dusty mad does they may well? Does
10:32
Speaker 4: they may come. It's the most baby, I think as
10:35
Speaker 4: we arrived here, and I'm not acting like I'm the
10:37
Speaker 4: first one to say this or a lot of people
10:39
Speaker 4: that had Mares as their favorite long before I did.
10:42
Speaker 4: And I still would be excited if we got any
10:44
Speaker 4: of those Michigan guys. Uh, if we got Yaxel. If
10:47
Speaker 4: we who feels like he's not being talked about enough,
10:49
Speaker 4: I almost wonder if the league's gona mess around let
10:51
Speaker 4: him drop eighteen. I almost kind of wonder that because
10:55
Speaker 4: of the whole age thing where he could snap him up.
10:57
Speaker 2: Then in a heartbeat, is the league gonna mess around
10:59
Speaker 2: in falls all the way to the Spurs or the
11:01
Speaker 2: Pistons at twenty years treld, what had happened?
11:03
Speaker 4: I take him at eighteen, signed, sealed and delivery. I
11:06
Speaker 4: think he's a great two way wing. I really do.
11:08
Speaker 4: I think all the other noise about his age. I
11:11
Speaker 4: was texting with somebody I forget who it was. On
11:12
Speaker 4: the text line was at Michigan Seawan, who was saying
11:15
Speaker 4: that Yaxle's his favorite and he's a Michigan days, and
11:18
Speaker 4: he and I were talking about Bone. He never played
11:20
Speaker 4: organized basketball until he was fifteen years old. So if
11:24
Speaker 4: you're wondering Bone, why a guy that's twenty three kept
11:27
Speaker 4: getting better in college, it's that's why he played like
11:33
Speaker 4: he played at eleven high school games. So like he's
11:36
Speaker 4: not your normal twenty three year old in a draft
11:39
Speaker 4: where he is done growing as a player. I don't
11:42
Speaker 4: think no not, you know what I mean. So, so
11:45
Speaker 4: any of those Michigan guys I will take Morez has
11:47
Speaker 4: becoming my favorite though, and I would I would probably
11:50
Speaker 4: be willing to part with fourteen and eighteen to get
11:52
Speaker 4: him because I just think he is the he is
11:56
Speaker 4: the only twenty years old man. He's the perfect modern
11:59
Speaker 4: day big defense in terms of he is athletic, he
12:04
Speaker 4: can run the floor for you, he can pick and
12:07
Speaker 4: roll and finish it off up high. He defensively, he
12:11
Speaker 4: can switch everything. I just I think he can be
12:14
Speaker 4: a you know, he's been compared to Musa. I think
12:18
Speaker 4: it's Musa with more upside and that three that thirty
12:22
Speaker 4: four percent from three last year, if he could get
12:25
Speaker 4: that up to thirty seven percent, then we got a
12:27
Speaker 4: dude that's a legit stretch five player too. On top
12:31
Speaker 4: of all the defensive stuff and how strong he is
12:33
Speaker 4: and the reboundary is you know.
12:34
Speaker 2: And not even really the main vocal point of Michigan
12:37
Speaker 2: when you think about it, it was Yaxel, it was
12:40
Speaker 2: Cadot at the point guard spot, it was Mara. There
12:43
Speaker 2: was a lot of guys where we watched them name value.
12:46
Speaker 2: But it turns out that as a season went along,
12:49
Speaker 2: you realize, oh, Mores Johnson may end up being the
12:51
Speaker 2: best of all those guys.
12:52
Speaker 4: What's all said? Yeah, yeah, he is becoming my favorite
12:56
Speaker 4: for this team, although I think they're all three going
12:59
Speaker 4: to be good in the NBA. Let's see what some
13:01
Speaker 4: of the Texters are saying. James well Pack, James says,
13:04
Speaker 4: I wouldn't give up a single pick next year unless
13:06
Speaker 4: you can make a clause, and it wouldn't be Uh,
13:08
Speaker 4: it would be the worst of the three picks. That's
13:12
Speaker 4: why I'm saying you don't do although Dallas should get better, right,
13:17
Speaker 4: But then again, you have these these funky lottery rules
13:21
Speaker 4: that kind of makes it a little more complicated trying
13:23
Speaker 4: to figure out where teams are gonna draft. But yeah,
13:24
Speaker 4: see what you're saying, you don't want to that Dallas
13:27
Speaker 4: one is top two protected only like Dallas could continuely
13:30
Speaker 4: get the third pick, I'm not sure they will and
13:32
Speaker 4: you can have it. Yeah, that one's that one's pretty valuable.
13:36
Speaker 4: Seven oh four number says uh, let's or uh a
13:40
Speaker 4: seven o four number says mac. Anyway you can trade
13:44
Speaker 4: Miles Bridges tonight? What kind of trade can he be
13:47
Speaker 4: involved in?
13:48
Speaker 2: Always kind of tough to figure out players being moved
13:50
Speaker 2: on draft night. That's a hard one to figure out.
13:52
Speaker 2: I mean, we know this a lot of times, though
13:54
Speaker 2: they might wait till the next week.
13:57
Speaker 4: One would he be involved in as a bonus post,
14:00
Speaker 4: you know, later on in the off season draft, you know,
14:03
Speaker 4: could he be in something like that? Or if you
14:06
Speaker 4: want to get a veteran big and you need salaries
14:09
Speaker 4: to match. It feels like that's when Bridges would be involved.
14:12
Speaker 4: But I don't know, like when that happened tonight, I
14:14
Speaker 4: don't know. Mac I have an update from Ricky o'donald's
14:18
Speaker 4: mock draft. Ricky O'Donnell, I don't know.
14:21
Speaker 2: I just I just see it online and I figure
14:23
Speaker 2: he's got more as to the Hornets.
14:24
Speaker 4: How about that? There you go, Ricky, Is that Grandy
14:26
Speaker 4: Pat's son?
14:27
Speaker 1: Not?
14:30
Speaker 2: I think he's a SB Nation Yahoo NBA draft guy
14:33
Speaker 2: who we trust immenseally. Right when he's putting stuff up there, we.
14:36
Speaker 4: Like, what do you What did you tell me that
14:39
Speaker 4: Miles Bridges got involved in? On social media? It's not
14:43
Speaker 4: anything bad.
14:43
Speaker 2: It just sounds kind of funny, someone tweeted out on
14:46
Speaker 2: a quote tweet on a trade rumor of Miles about
14:51
Speaker 2: what a great teammate. He is a member of the community, upstanding,
14:54
Speaker 2: great offensive player. They went through the most high the
14:58
Speaker 2: most poss of reviews of Miles trying to I think
15:03
Speaker 2: be sarcastic, and Miles searched it out and found it
15:05
Speaker 2: and said, quote sounds about right.
15:08
Speaker 4: I don't think Miles. I don't think Miles knew.
15:10
Speaker 2: I think the guy was trying to sell the other
15:12
Speaker 2: teams here on some things, okay, and Miles just been
15:16
Speaker 2: and said, that's me.
15:17
Speaker 4: They talking about me. I can't blame you, Miles. How
15:19
Speaker 4: did sarcastic texts come in praising me? And I can't
15:22
Speaker 4: figure it out either. You know what I mean.
15:25
Speaker 2: My entire wife is trying to explain to people, Hey,
15:28
Speaker 2: I wasn't being serious. Hey, I wasn't being serious. Yo,
15:31
Speaker 2: I wasn't serious. No, I wasn't being serious. You are
15:33
Speaker 2: flub You are fluent in sarcasms. My book will be
15:36
Speaker 2: called Yo. I wasn't being serious.
15:38
Speaker 4: You could teach a class in sarcasm four hundred level.
15:41
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. You were well versed in it,
15:44
Speaker 4: so you can spot it a mile away. I can.
15:46
Speaker 2: When we come back on The Mack and Boat Show,
15:48
Speaker 2: a man mac. We're not sure if Adam Gold has
15:51
Speaker 2: returned from Vegas yet. We haven't seen him anywhere, uh
15:55
Speaker 2: since the Canes won the Cup. Hopefully he's good to go.
15:57
Speaker 2: Adam Gold will talk about the Canes, celebrate the Panthers
16:01
Speaker 2: making a big move, the Florida Panthers, how that affects
16:04
Speaker 2: the Cads, and what happened to the Heels last night.
16:07
Speaker 2: Adam Gold is next Sports Radio seven WFNZ.
16:27
Speaker 5: What I love to Yes, of course I would. That's,
16:30
Speaker 5: you know, for different reasons that people probably think more
16:33
Speaker 5: because it would be an unbelievable opportunity to thank people
16:37
Speaker 5: that I need to think in that form that meant
16:39
Speaker 5: so much to me that you just you can't really
16:42
Speaker 5: you know, and it would be great for this organization
16:45
Speaker 5: just to have that. I feel like, you know, we're
16:48
Speaker 5: still fighting that credibility thing. It's constantly every time you
16:53
Speaker 5: you just you feel it. I understand it. They're looking
16:55
Speaker 5: for ways to constantly, you know, not devalue this place.
16:59
Speaker 5: But there is there's some sort of something out there.
17:02
Speaker 5: We got to win one more here, okay, to knock
17:05
Speaker 5: that out. That's kind of what Then you go in
17:07
Speaker 5: as a coach Oh, I don't care about that. I'm
17:09
Speaker 5: just talking about the team in general, right, you know?
17:12
Speaker 5: So would it be great? Yes, if it happens. I
17:15
Speaker 5: always say this. I never grew up. It never once
17:18
Speaker 5: didn't enter my mind. I make the Hall of Fame. No,
17:21
Speaker 5: it was make the NHL and then win a Stanley Cup.
17:25
Speaker 5: That was like all I ever thought about. So this
17:27
Speaker 5: would just be icing if it ever does happen.
17:31
Speaker 4: Rod Brenda Moore. Another year goes by, Yesterday we find
17:33
Speaker 4: out the Hall of Fame class and he is not
17:36
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame. That is him talking to
17:38
Speaker 4: the Great Adam Gold about his reasons. Course are unselfish reasons.
17:44
Speaker 4: He is the epitome of team and unselfishness, and those
17:47
Speaker 4: are his reasons, as he told the Goldie for wanting
17:50
Speaker 4: to be in the Hall of Fame. Maybe one of
17:51
Speaker 4: these years we got to talk about this situation. We
17:54
Speaker 4: got to talk parade. We've got all kinds of things
17:56
Speaker 4: to talk about. We got to talk about Kachuck Brothers
17:58
Speaker 4: teaming up in Florida, all kinds of things talk about
18:01
Speaker 4: with Adam Gold ninety nine to nine, the fan in
18:03
Speaker 4: Raleigh and what you need to know most importantly, is
18:06
Speaker 4: his show most weeknight's airs right here at seven o'clock
18:09
Speaker 4: on wfn Z, and Goldie joins us every Tuesday. Goldie,
18:13
Speaker 4: how you feeling, man? What's going on?
18:16
Speaker 1: I'm uh, I'm feeling good man. How are you guys doing?
18:19
Speaker 2: There's rumors that you're still in Vegas? Are those false rumors?
18:23
Speaker 1: Those are false rumors. I've been back. I got I
18:27
Speaker 1: got back Tuesday. I spoke to you guys when I.
18:29
Speaker 4: Was, Uh, you didn't believe?
18:31
Speaker 2: Do people not believe that story? I didn't start the rumor.
18:33
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I thought he flew back.
18:35
Speaker 4: I didn't.
18:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some thoughts that you liked it so much
18:37
Speaker 2: that a bit. Were you at the Waterburger?
18:39
Speaker 1: Every thing I did. The first thing I did when
18:42
Speaker 1: I got back was talk to you guys.
18:44
Speaker 4: How about that? Man? We were a priority. We were
18:46
Speaker 4: a priority from Goldie And that's heartwarming. Goldie, did you
18:49
Speaker 4: say you enjoyed it? Did you? Did you? Uh? Did
18:53
Speaker 4: you partake in in the parade and parade party? And
18:55
Speaker 4: what were you doing? What were you doing on Saturday?
18:57
Speaker 4: That looked like a freaking blast?
18:59
Speaker 2: Oh?
18:59
Speaker 4: Nice?
19:00
Speaker 3: Oh?
19:01
Speaker 1: Yeah? We were on from ten until about one. Nice
19:04
Speaker 1: on Saturday.
19:05
Speaker 4: I don't.
19:06
Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of those Saturday broadcasts.
19:08
Speaker 4: But that's a special to do this one, that's special.
19:12
Speaker 4: I had a little bit of parade envy, but I'm happy.
19:14
Speaker 4: I realize I'm so happy for the fans there, and
19:16
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people from Charlotte went there too,
19:18
Speaker 4: that are Caney acts. I I do want that. I
19:21
Speaker 4: do want one here so badly. That was a blast.
19:24
Speaker 4: And when the dudes get feeling good like that, that
19:28
Speaker 4: is an entertaining That's an entertaining specta.
19:33
Speaker 1: Gosh. Jordan Martinook put out something on Instagram later that
19:37
Speaker 1: day and he was still hammered day. Yeah, it's the
19:43
Speaker 1: people up from Charlotte. I have a podcast listener from Perth, Australia,
19:49
Speaker 1: who fly, who flies for Quantas. He's a pilot for
19:53
Speaker 1: Quantas and normally does Perth to Europe routes Game one
19:59
Speaker 1: of the Stanley Cup Final. Without a ticket to the game,
20:03
Speaker 1: he rearranged his route to go to to go to
20:06
Speaker 1: New York and then flew down to Raleigh just to
20:09
Speaker 1: hang out in the parking lot and did the same
20:12
Speaker 1: thing for the parade and sent me pictures from the stage.
20:16
Speaker 1: He got there at seven a m. And hung out
20:21
Speaker 1: all day.
20:22
Speaker 4: Oh that's beautiful.
20:23
Speaker 2: God, that is That is fandom, right, Those are the
20:26
Speaker 2: types of stories that come out of those type of things.
20:29
Speaker 2: What do you have a favorite moment or two from
20:32
Speaker 2: the parade? I did see a woman on Facebook very
20:35
Speaker 2: upset at the Canes for cussing and said she's no
20:38
Speaker 2: longer a fan.
20:39
Speaker 4: So that did happen?
20:40
Speaker 1: Right?
20:40
Speaker 2: Did you have a did you have a favorite moment?
20:42
Speaker 2: Is there at Gordy?
20:44
Speaker 1: Every one of those players except for Jacob Slaven cursed
20:49
Speaker 1: it was. It was remarkably PG seventeen, including the Sebastianaho.
20:57
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he was chanting to Jordan's or Roy
21:00
Speaker 1: Kent from ted Lasso.
21:07
Speaker 4: God, it was so good.
21:10
Speaker 1: I think my favorite moment was watching Brinda Moore on
21:15
Speaker 1: the truck. He was the only well actually his wife
21:18
Speaker 1: Amy and I think his son Skyler were also in
21:21
Speaker 1: the truck with him, but they were just sitting down.
21:24
Speaker 1: He was standing on the back of the of a
21:28
Speaker 1: white I don't even know. I think it was a Chevy,
21:31
Speaker 1: but who knows, truck wrapped in Hurricanes logos, and you
21:36
Speaker 1: could tell you could feel the love from both sides
21:41
Speaker 1: of the of the street and he was just he
21:44
Speaker 1: was giving it back and it was an awesome, awesome moment.
21:49
Speaker 1: I've it's the Raleigh Police has tomate one hundred and
21:53
Speaker 1: eighty thousand people at that parade. They initially they initially
21:59
Speaker 1: expected a one hundred thousand. I don't I don't even
22:01
Speaker 1: know how you predict, you know, because you don't RSVP,
22:06
Speaker 1: you don't send out invitation. I don't even know you
22:11
Speaker 1: predict how many people are going to be there. But
22:13
Speaker 1: Raleigh Police said one hundred and eighty thousand. I don't
22:15
Speaker 1: really care what the number is. I just know that
22:18
Speaker 1: the line both sides of the street were about fifteen deep.
22:24
Speaker 1: And you saw the aerial shots of Faddel Street, the
22:28
Speaker 1: mall in downtown and it was absolutely packed. It was awesome.
22:33
Speaker 4: That was amazing. The ripping, the boys ripping off Rod
22:38
Speaker 4: shirt as he can do another shirtless copper voices straight too. Hey,
22:42
Speaker 4: let's talk real. Let's talk about this Rod Brendamore Hall
22:46
Speaker 4: of Fame thing. Another year goes by, He's not in
22:49
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame. You know, multiple people get in
22:51
Speaker 4: in this class where he's got more points than they do.
22:56
Speaker 4: Is it just a matter of time till he gets in.
22:59
Speaker 4: What's your feeling about this, Yes, just.
23:03
Speaker 1: A matter of time. I've got, you know, some a
23:10
Speaker 1: friend of mine who's in the Hall of Fame already,
23:12
Speaker 1: A couple of friends of mine are in the Hall
23:13
Speaker 1: of Fame. Both say it's a matter of time. Now,
23:18
Speaker 1: there is a there is a thought out there that
23:23
Speaker 1: is I mean, it's been fleshed out a little bit,
23:26
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to go full on. This is
23:28
Speaker 1: the reason. There's a thought that a former teammate who
23:31
Speaker 1: happens to be the chairman of the committee, I could
23:36
Speaker 1: be referring to him as is actively lobbying against him.
23:42
Speaker 1: I don't know that to be true. I do know
23:46
Speaker 1: that Rod Brenda Moore has Hall of Fame credentials, has
23:49
Speaker 1: had those credentials for a long time, and I believe
23:53
Speaker 1: him when he says it matters for this organization because
23:58
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes do not have Hall of Famer obviously, I
24:01
Speaker 1: mean they sort of do. I mean, Jim Ruffbord's a
24:03
Speaker 1: Hurricane and he's in the Hall of Fame as a builder.
24:09
Speaker 1: But I do think that the Hurricanes need a player
24:12
Speaker 1: to go into the Hall, and maybe Eric Stall will
24:15
Speaker 1: go in because stall will be on the ballot next year.
24:19
Speaker 1: But Rod belongs. Rod's belonged for a long time, and
24:25
Speaker 1: I don't know why he hasn't gotten in, to be honest,
24:28
Speaker 1: but I do think that if we're going to say
24:32
Speaker 1: that Patrese Bergeron is a first ballot Hall of Famer,
24:36
Speaker 1: and I'm not arguing that, don't I don't know the
24:39
Speaker 1: rationale for Rod Brenda Moore being a thirteen ballot non
24:44
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer at this point, because there isn't very
24:48
Speaker 1: much difference at all between Bergeron's career and Brenda Moore's career,
24:54
Speaker 1: and one's the first ballot Hall of Famer and one
24:57
Speaker 1: still hasn't gotten in. I don't know.
25:00
Speaker 4: Their points per season average is literally one point apart,
25:03
Speaker 4: you know, it's like sixty six or one sixty five
25:05
Speaker 4: for the other. To your point, you know, yeah.
25:09
Speaker 2: Goldie, what do you think of the comments made by
25:11
Speaker 2: Matt Murley of spitting Chiclets that there should be an
25:13
Speaker 2: asterisk next to the Canes couple in because they didn't
25:16
Speaker 2: play the Panthers along the way.
25:18
Speaker 4: My god, I.
25:20
Speaker 1: Got no time for stupidity. It's just absolute stupidity. And
25:27
Speaker 1: like I can say this and nobody can prove me wrong.
25:33
Speaker 1: I think if Florida had stayed completely healthy, Carolina still
25:36
Speaker 1: would have beaten them.
25:38
Speaker 4: I love it.
25:39
Speaker 1: I think Carolina still would have beaten them. But hey,
25:42
Speaker 1: I that's not provable any more than their garbage is provable. Yeah,
25:47
Speaker 1: so I mean, just get over it. Get over it,
25:50
Speaker 1: I hope. Look, I think you see what Florida was about.
25:53
Speaker 1: Florida realized that they needed to bridge the gap between
25:57
Speaker 1: themselves and Carolina. They went out and got Ottawa's fourth
26:01
Speaker 1: best player to be a part of their team. And
26:06
Speaker 1: we'll see. And by the way, Nick Delaurier's signed a
26:08
Speaker 1: two year contract with Carolina.
26:11
Speaker 4: At the parade, crazy he was having fun.
26:15
Speaker 1: Who didn't play but one game in the playoffs had
26:19
Speaker 1: as many points as Brady Kachuck did in his four games.
26:24
Speaker 4: So you say bringing zero, you say bring it on.
26:29
Speaker 2: God, he's gotten no time for Supidy, yet he's on
26:31
Speaker 2: the back and bunch you every Tuesday.
26:32
Speaker 4: I was waiting for that text, I'm glad you beat
26:34
Speaker 4: the Texters to it. I was just waiting for somebody
26:37
Speaker 4: to text the Yeah, so time for suspendy. Why is
26:39
Speaker 4: he here every week? Goldie? How annoying, though, are the
26:43
Speaker 4: Ka Chuck brothers together. Listen, I love it when they're
26:46
Speaker 4: draped in the in the red, white and blue because
26:48
Speaker 4: they're annoying other countries Canada's players, other countries players. How
26:52
Speaker 4: much are they going to drive us crazy next season
26:55
Speaker 4: and next season in the playoffs if they meet?
26:58
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I don't.
26:59
Speaker 1: I don't find them. I don't. I don't find either
27:02
Speaker 1: player annoying them both. Matthew is a really, really good player.
27:07
Speaker 1: Brady is, you know, kind of Matthew Light. I think
27:10
Speaker 1: he's bigger than Matthew, but I think he's kind of
27:12
Speaker 1: Matthew Light. I don't think he is quite as good
27:15
Speaker 1: as Matthew. Matthews scores a ton of big goals. I
27:19
Speaker 1: have great respect for Matthew, and I think Matthew has
27:24
Speaker 1: exhibited through their wing Men podcast. I mean, I don't
27:27
Speaker 1: listen to the full podcast, but I see the clips.
27:29
Speaker 1: Brady never talks and the clips, by the way, do
27:32
Speaker 1: you ever see the clips on social Brady Brady never
27:37
Speaker 1: never ever ever talks in the clips. The clips are
27:40
Speaker 1: only Matthew. I don't get it. In some ways, yeah,
27:45
Speaker 1: I think Brady is there. It's like they do the
27:48
Speaker 1: podcast maybe on a seesaw and Brady is there simply
27:52
Speaker 1: to balance the seesaw out. I don't know, but like
27:56
Speaker 1: I think Matthew's got a lot of respect for what
27:59
Speaker 1: Carolina has done. Actually think Brady probably does too, especially
28:03
Speaker 1: after getting swept and completely owned UH in the in
28:07
Speaker 1: the four game opening round. But Brady to me is
28:13
Speaker 1: a little bit of UH, a lot of bark and
28:16
Speaker 1: no bite. Yeah, Matthew's got more bite to him. But
28:21
Speaker 1: I really think that Florida just kind of showed that
28:24
Speaker 1: they know that they need to bridge the gap. And
28:28
Speaker 1: I still think Carolina is the better team, but we
28:30
Speaker 1: won't know until they play. And now they've got to
28:34
Speaker 1: you know, they have to meet in the regular season.
28:36
Speaker 1: It's at some point. Who knows. It would be great
28:39
Speaker 1: to see it on opening night, wouldn't it hell? Yeah?
28:42
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that would be beautiful. That would be it beautiful?
28:45
Speaker 4: And we know bone I locked in on opening night
28:47
Speaker 4: for hockey. Lett know the result after what happens.
28:54
Speaker 1: No.
28:55
Speaker 2: I do wonder though, Goldie, this run here is regular
28:59
Speaker 2: season hockey?
29:00
Speaker 4: Mac is there?
29:01
Speaker 1: Mac?
29:01
Speaker 4: Is your interest level? Do you think they could spark
29:03
Speaker 4: me in the regular season? Maybe? Will bet I guess
29:06
Speaker 4: we'll find.
29:06
Speaker 1: Out opening night.
29:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, opening night.
29:09
Speaker 1: If they meet Opening night, I actually think it'll probably
29:11
Speaker 1: be Florida Tampa. I think they'll have Carolina play somebody else,
29:15
Speaker 1: But it would certainly be awesome to see Carolina Florida
29:19
Speaker 1: on Opening Night. Uh and people will will will I
29:23
Speaker 1: think Garner way too much meaning from a game that
29:29
Speaker 1: doesn't have much, But it'll be fun. But the only
29:33
Speaker 1: games that will matter will be when those two teams
29:36
Speaker 1: meet in late May in the Eastern Conference Final, and
29:41
Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I think Carolina I think Carolina
29:44
Speaker 1: right now would would meet Florida. But that's okay. I
29:47
Speaker 1: can say that and nobody can prove me wrong. But
29:50
Speaker 1: man Florida, who had a terrible year, Yes, injury ravaged.
29:56
Speaker 1: Carolina also had their injury issues. They just got healthy
29:59
Speaker 1: by the end of the year and showed. I think
30:01
Speaker 1: Carolina is going to be better next year than they
30:03
Speaker 1: were this year.
30:04
Speaker 4: I love it, Goldie says, bringing on Goldie, real quick question,
30:07
Speaker 4: you guys have been in like this state of Euphoria

33:11
Speaker 4: do at the end of the show to take the
33:13
Speaker 4: whole family to Monster Jam. All right, Bone, you say,
33:18
Speaker 4: there's before we get into our official predictions, including Fitty.
33:22
Speaker 4: I feel like we haven't included Hornets Fitty. I guess
33:25
Speaker 4: that's because Hornets Fitty doesn't exist. Maybe, but we'll include
33:28
Speaker 4: Fitty in this part of the show where we have
33:31
Speaker 4: to make our predictions. That's a high scoff comment. I
33:35
Speaker 4: knew that was comed. You say there's some intel on
33:38
Speaker 4: the big Jannis trade last night for people that don't
33:41
Speaker 4: know the the reported details from Shams. Obviously the trade
33:46
Speaker 4: can't be made official till after July sixth, but the
33:49
Speaker 4: reported terms are Miami acquires Giannis and Bobby Portis in
33:55
Speaker 4: exchange for Hami, Hakez Tyler hero Kalel, where yakachunis their
34:01
Speaker 4: young Seid bless you second year guard three first a
34:05
Speaker 4: pick swap and a second. But you're saying Intel's come
34:08
Speaker 4: in because because a lot of Hornets fans have been
34:10
Speaker 4: texting in about, hey, well, if Miami really doesn't want Portis,
34:14
Speaker 4: I'd be interested, or if Milwaukee doesn't want where or
34:18
Speaker 4: whatever it is. Right Like, we've already had a Hornets
34:20
Speaker 4: fans wondering what the scraps might be there, So what's
34:24
Speaker 4: what is being said about that sort of thing.
34:26
Speaker 2: A lot of this is from cham so credit to him.
34:29
Speaker 2: There's a thought that Brian Windhorse is involved in some
34:32
Speaker 2: of this as well, that Tyler Hero is not seen
34:36
Speaker 2: maybe to be long for Milwaukee as they try to
34:40
Speaker 2: They may try to work on this deal for a
34:43
Speaker 2: couple of weeks a year, so it may not be
34:45
Speaker 2: exactly what you read there, but there's a thought that
34:48
Speaker 2: once it's official that Milwaukee then could move Tyler Hero
34:53
Speaker 2: somewhere else. The Pistons want Tyler Hero, so apparently one
34:58
Speaker 2: of the big deals of this for Milwaukee because Miami
35:02
Speaker 2: said we'll give you Davion Mitchell, Milwaukee said, no, we
35:06
Speaker 2: want Yakkachunas, and that was the one of their centerpieces
35:10
Speaker 2: of this deal was Yakachunis. They want that young potential,
35:13
Speaker 2: potential for that young guy. If they want Tyler Hero's salary.
35:17
Speaker 2: I'm going to guess that might be part of this
35:19
Speaker 2: that they're going to try to build with where Yakkachewness
35:22
Speaker 2: Hawk as the draft picks, I think they're trying to
35:24
Speaker 2: maybe shed the salary.
35:25
Speaker 4: See if he ends up at Detroit. That could have
35:27
Speaker 4: a trickle down effect on the Hornets and it would
35:30
Speaker 4: be a good one. Detroit has been mentioned bone of
35:33
Speaker 4: one of the few teams that could be in the
35:35
Speaker 4: mix for Kobe. Most teams don't have salar cap room.
35:39
Speaker 4: Detroit is one that people have speculated, right they want
35:42
Speaker 4: that scoring guard. Well, if they take Tyler hero On,
35:46
Speaker 4: that would mean they're not going to play a role
35:48
Speaker 4: in the Kobe White sweepstakes, So that actually could have
35:51
Speaker 4: a trickle down effect and help the Hornets. Also, I
35:53
Speaker 4: don't want any part of Kobe White leaving us at
35:56
Speaker 4: all at all, much less going to the Piston to
35:59
Speaker 4: annoy the living crap out of all of us. Yes, Also,
36:02
Speaker 4: Boston wouldn't part with Bailey Shireman or Hugo Gonzalez. Why
36:06
Speaker 4: would end a deal for you, Honis So that was
36:07
Speaker 4: a hold up there, And per Bryan Windhorst and Tim McMahon,
36:12
Speaker 4: this is a big deal to monitor down the line.
36:15
Speaker 4: Anthony Edwards is upset with Minnesota since the town's deal
36:19
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. Julius randall gets moved last night.
36:23
Speaker 4: There's a thought that there's always a disgruntled star ready
36:26
Speaker 4: to move that Anthony Edwards. The league is circling now
36:30
Speaker 4: around Anthony Edwards as the next guy, circling like buzzards,
36:34
Speaker 4: the next guy that could be on the move at
36:36
Speaker 4: some point in time. We've got multiple people asking about
36:40
Speaker 4: the Desumu trade or a contract extension in Minnesota after
36:43
Speaker 4: they traded Julius Randallson and Nats open up cap room.
36:46
Speaker 4: How does that affect Kobe White? I would think Kobe
36:49
Speaker 4: White would probably say, I love the kid. We played
36:52
Speaker 4: together in Chicago. I just congratulated him on social media.
36:57
Speaker 4: But hornets I would like more than that. And he
37:00
Speaker 4: got twenty two million plus per year, so I would
37:03
Speaker 4: think he would want more than that. Right. I know
37:05
Speaker 4: dasum who is younger, but tassum Wu hasn't averaged more
37:10
Speaker 4: than fifteen points a game in a season at this
37:12
Speaker 4: point in time, No covid.
37:14
Speaker 2: White's got a bigger track record. That's interesting, Mark guy,
37:17
Speaker 2: So I think there'd be an impact.
37:19
Speaker 4: What is your We talked about who we want Bone,
37:21
Speaker 4: who we don't want in the draft, what trades were
37:25
Speaker 4: open to. We've had all those conversations. If you guys
37:27
Speaker 4: miss those conversations, give the podcast to listen right wherever
37:31
Speaker 4: you get your podcast. Listen to the parts you missed
37:33
Speaker 4: of today's Draft day show. Now the question comes bone
37:37
Speaker 4: as we try to predict what we end up doing
37:40
Speaker 4: at fourteen and eighteen, what are your best guesses? Your
37:43
Speaker 4: official prediction on fourteen and eighteen. So this is the
37:46
Speaker 4: prediction of what we think will. I think he's gonna happen.
37:49
Speaker 4: I necessarily like our favorite combo. Yeah.
37:52
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna end up one way or the
37:54
Speaker 2: other with Morez Johnson. Whether they have to move up
37:57
Speaker 2: a few spots. There's been some rumors about them willing
38:00
Speaker 2: in wanting to move up. Perhaps I think that happens
38:03
Speaker 2: because I think they're gonna like mores Johnson enough there.
38:06
Speaker 2: I think at eighteen they'll keep that pick. And I
38:08
Speaker 2: can't get over Mac Who the person was that said
38:13
Speaker 2: their interest level was high, and Bennett Starts and Cameron Carr.
38:17
Speaker 4: It was Kristin Peak.
38:18
Speaker 2: She was the one two years ago that told us
38:21
Speaker 2: about t Jon and we said that sounds crazy. She
38:24
Speaker 2: was accurate in that no one else was saying, I
38:27
Speaker 2: think it's Mores Johnson and Bennett Starts tonight. Okay, not
38:31
Speaker 2: saying I would do it, but that's what I think
38:33
Speaker 2: it's going to be tonight. Kristin Peak. I went against
38:35
Speaker 2: her before and said, what is she doing? Well, guess what,
38:38
Speaker 2: she has an intel here on the Hornets. If she's
38:40
Speaker 2: here in Starts or car, I'd prefer Carr. But I
38:43
Speaker 2: think I think they're gonna that this super deal might
38:47
Speaker 2: woom large with the Hornets and what they may have
38:48
Speaker 2: to pay Kobe White.
38:49
Speaker 4: Bubble, and I got to tell you I have no
38:51
Speaker 4: problem paying him twenty three twenty four to twenty five
38:53
Speaker 4: million dollars a year personally. Now, Jeff Peterson has not
38:56
Speaker 4: asked me. I'm waiting for the text. He has not
38:58
Speaker 4: asked me Bone what he should be willing to spay
39:00
Speaker 4: for Kobe White, but what he does for that offense
39:03
Speaker 4: when when he is on the floor. I'm sorry, man,
39:06
Speaker 4: let's keep that around. But anyway, that's a discussion for
39:09
Speaker 4: another day. We're talking draft right now. My guess would
39:12
Speaker 4: be mores is gone and we go steinback at fourteen,
39:17
Speaker 4: and then at eighteen we take Cameron Carr. I'm just
39:20
Speaker 4: gonna do similar to what you did. I'm going to
39:23
Speaker 4: take about down to Christen Peak, but I am going
39:27
Speaker 4: to say we take Cameron Carr and not Bennett Sturtz
39:31
Speaker 4: and steinbacking Car would make me pretty darn happy. That's
39:33
Speaker 4: a pretty I mean morez I prefer, but that's a
39:36
Speaker 4: pretty darn good draft fit. Daddy. What is your official
39:39
Speaker 4: prediction on what the Hornets will do tonight?
39:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm in the same camp as y'all where I'd
39:45
Speaker 6: love to add Mores Johnson and they could get him
39:49
Speaker 6: in Steinbach. I think I would come away doing like
39:52
Speaker 6: KB Diven, we got Kay Jones and James Book and
39:54
Speaker 6: now I'd say we won the NBA drafts. I they're
39:57
Speaker 6: gonna get both of them, though I think they'll get
40:00
Speaker 6: I think they'll be only able to get one. My
40:03
Speaker 6: official prediction is kind of in bone'es area. I'll go
40:07
Speaker 6: they get more as Johnson, and I think they draft
40:09
Speaker 6: a guard at eighteen. I do think they will be
40:12
Speaker 6: drafting a guard with their second pick, and I'll go
40:16
Speaker 6: I'll go fine line because I think there's more upside
40:19
Speaker 6: to him than than Bennett Starts, who I thought was
40:22
Speaker 6: a nice player or.
40:23
Speaker 4: Really good player for Iowa.
40:25
Speaker 6: I have worried about that aleticism translerring to the NBA level.
40:29
Speaker 6: I think Filan there's a lot of upside there, so
40:31
Speaker 6: it can be more as Johnson and LeBaron Finlan fourteen
40:33
Speaker 6: and eighteen.
40:34
Speaker 2: Bone Jan is also a combo guard and that would
40:37
Speaker 2: make you wonder about Kobe White also right definitely anybody
40:40
Speaker 2: in that position that.
40:42
Speaker 4: I believe Kobe will be back here in Charlotte. I
40:45
Speaker 4: believe everybody got a chill all right now? Will I
40:48
Speaker 4: keep that same energy boat for the next couple of weeks?
40:51
Speaker 3: I don't know.
40:52
Speaker 4: Stay tuned to find out. Right now, I feel calm.
40:56
Speaker 4: I feel calm about me. Uh Bone is Yaxell dry thing?
41:02
Speaker 4: Bonoi sounds like he's a a mother giving birth and
41:06
Speaker 4: doing mama's basically that's what it is. We're giving birth
41:09
Speaker 4: to new hornets tonight? Is Yaxell dropping in all these mocks?
41:12
Speaker 4: I see him at seventeen in this Jeremy wu Espn
41:16
Speaker 4: mock that was updated this morning. Is he dropping in
41:19
Speaker 4: all these dress in all these mocks because he's there
41:22
Speaker 4: at eighteen. We better snap him up if we don't
41:25
Speaker 4: let him go to like the Spurs, like you're talking about,
41:28
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be teching.
41:28
Speaker 2: Well, Jeremy Wu has a little blurb that kind of
41:31
Speaker 2: explains it in here. His age is one factor in
41:34
Speaker 2: the equation. He's drawn mixed reviews from teams on the
41:38
Speaker 2: interview circuit, so that would make a lot of sense too.
41:41
Speaker 2: There he's not interviewing well with some of these teams,
41:42
Speaker 2: whereas his teammate Moris Johnson's like an angel with this.
41:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got that bad he's got he's got mores,
41:48
Speaker 4: got that hornet's DNA. I just don't know if he's
41:50
Speaker 4: going to be a hornet. All right, Is there anybody
41:54
Speaker 4: bone we have not talked about? Like if we try
41:57
Speaker 4: to avoid a full salon here a Cory which okay,
42:01
Speaker 4: so like a full salon is you full barely mention
42:05
Speaker 4: a person's name and they get drafted. Everybody's like we
42:07
Speaker 4: are even tell me about him? So you're saying of
42:09
Speaker 4: Corey out of Stanford as a uh as a guard
42:14
Speaker 4: pick I met mentioned quaintance earlier, But I don't know
42:17
Speaker 4: if they you know, who knows what their doctors think
42:19
Speaker 4: of his knee.
42:19
Speaker 2: Which we've talked about swaying a lot for the wing
42:22
Speaker 2: from Texas. Yeah, see Graves got has gotten mentioned. It's
42:25
Speaker 2: a nack from Houston. The Power Forward Center has not
42:28
Speaker 2: got mentioned. We want to mention every name so we
42:30
Speaker 2: can say much what I'm trying to do here. Lopez
42:32
Speaker 2: have been mentioned, although we're rooting against them. We mentioned Terrace,
42:35
Speaker 2: Reid and uh Zoobie today.
42:38
Speaker 4: We don't want any of these guys. We just want
42:39
Speaker 4: to mention them. We just want to say we told
42:41
Speaker 4: you Isaiah Evans. I saw someone today say Isaiah Evans,
42:44
Speaker 4: he goes twenty one in this mock.
42:46
Speaker 2: He got invited to the green room. So that tells
42:48
Speaker 2: me that there's some intel there that he may go
42:50
Speaker 2: higher than we thought.
42:53
Speaker 4: Is he strong enough? Is he does he create enough
42:56
Speaker 4: on his own? Is he going to finish through contact
42:59
Speaker 4: in the paint or is he just a shooter? That's
43:02
Speaker 4: my question with him.
43:04
Speaker 2: I think the lottery in the twenties early twenties is
43:07
Speaker 2: probably too high for him.
43:09
Speaker 4: Give me Car over over him.
43:10
Speaker 3: Man.
43:11
Speaker 4: Car's length and athleticism is off the freaking charts. You
43:16
Speaker 4: know who I mentioned that he actually shot at better
43:18
Speaker 4: Nevians last year.
43:19
Speaker 2: We were talking earlier about I like Zoobie just as
43:22
Speaker 2: a player in this draft, another guy I like, And again,
43:25
Speaker 2: these guys get punished for playing college basketball. I really
43:28
Speaker 2: like Josh Jefferson as well, from the from Iowa State,
43:31
Speaker 2: so he's probably gonna go to a pretty decent team
43:33
Speaker 2: there at the end of the first round. That's a
43:35
Speaker 2: very versatile, do everything guy. That's another guy I like
43:39
Speaker 2: in this draft. Again, if you play college basketball, you
43:42
Speaker 2: almost get punished for this. But if guys like Zoobie
43:44
Speaker 2: and Josh Jefferson were international player, they'll probably be higher
43:48
Speaker 2: in the draft.
43:48
Speaker 4: I see you, Dicky V. I feel like Dicky V
43:51
Speaker 4: is gonna tweet that out tonight, isn't he all right?
43:53
Speaker 4: We'll see man from playing coach first round the night
43:58
Speaker 4: at eight o'clock, second round to Marrow. As of now,
44:01
Speaker 4: Charles Lee owns seven million second round picks, but not
44:04
Speaker 4: one for this year's second round.
44:06
Speaker 2: Bull prediction he gets one too. You you'll find a
44:09
Speaker 2: way to make sure he's in the second round party.
44:11
Speaker 2: He legally has to be in the second round party.
44:13
Speaker 2: When we come back to Great Tom Creane of ESPN
44:16
Speaker 2: and series breaks down all these prospects on Sports Radio
44:20
Speaker 2: ninety two seven WFZ
