  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour. Don't bear the lead, mo Man.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: It's silly season. We love silly season in sports. The transaction,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the rumor, the speculation always always great, and we got
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of it going on right now in pro
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Bouncy Bull.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Why are you talking about pro bouncing Bud? Want you to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: talk about that?
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: All? Okay, I get your little therapy dog out and
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: relax a little bit. Everything will be okay. Everything's gonna
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: be okay. Our lead this hour though, from the Bay Area. Now,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: nobody can change teams yet we're close, like it's starting
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: here in like a day or two or whatever it
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is coming up this week. So the lead from the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Bay Area where the Golden State wars. If you believe
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the scuttle butt, the Grapevine is yapping that they are
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: looking to say bye bye to Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Buckets.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: We never seem to be a West Coast guy trying
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to un his contract. And this is where it gets
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: into satire. The Warriors have visions of cherry plums bouncing.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Around in their head.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: They want to reunite the dynamic door that didn't do
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: anything great with the Lakers. There are no championships. Anthony
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Davis and Lebron James. They want to bring those guys
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: in now. A few weeks ago, as soon as that
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: podcast guy, that Bill Simmons guy, he said he's betting
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: his life. He's going to have to leave this mortal
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: coil if Lebron does not end up with the Golden
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: State Warriors. Now, if this works out the way that
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: it's being speculated in the Echo Chamber, the Warriors would
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: end up with a big four of Stephen Curry, Lebron James,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Draymond Green, and Anthony Davis. In theory, In theory, that
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: is how that would work. Always in theory, you know
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying. All Right, So they pose they need
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: somebody to take Jimmy Butler.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: This is the issue here. They've got everything else worked out.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: If you believe the chatter and.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: The Lebron's looking to leave the Lakers, and I still
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: think Lebron's gonna go to Cleveland or Miami somewhere like
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: that would makes no sense, but.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Anyway, that's the chatter.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: They could also buy out Jimmy Butler if he gets traded,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: he'll end up being bought out and then.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Could go somewhere else.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: So all of this a lot to unpack. Let us
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: discuss the question. Would Lebron Anthony Davis reunited, joining Steph
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Curry and Draymond Green make the Warriors a heavyweight team
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: to beat, a heavyweight team to beat in the Western
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Conference if all this goes down the way it's being
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: described right now the blueprint.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So I've got.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Pinterest, Dominoes, and dirty Bomb and we will combine all
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: of these things together and we are going to crank
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: it up fuel by the moonlight and it's a beauty.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: There's a lot going on with the moon which means
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: nut jobs are going to call the show more than normal.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: So hey, to begin this, I'm gonna answer this like Jeopardy.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna answer this like Jeffardy.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: The question about wood Lebron and Anthony Davis joining Steph
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Curry and Draymond Green make the Warriors a heavyweight team
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to beat in the West that all of a sudden,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma City and San Antonio are like, oh my god, no,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: all the Warriors with Lebron and Anthony Davis. So answering
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: it like like Jeopardy, I will take teams that look
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: better on paper for a thousand alex Can I get
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: that for one thousand?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Sure? Why not? All right?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Are they smoking bath salts by the bay? Is that
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: what they're doing right there? Come on, whose idea is this?
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Seriously like this keeps popping up.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: This idea that Lebron is going to go there.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Now they've added Anthony Davis to the to the big board,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: not the list, the big board. And you know, it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: like a pinterest paid. You have bad ideas, Let's get
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: all the bad ideas, will lay them all out in
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: photo form. And we've seen better roster construction in a
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: YMCA game of shirts versus skins. We've seen better pick
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: up roster building at the local YMCA. Then the idea
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: that this is going to work. Lebron is at age
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: forty one. Lebron has slowed down noticeably to anyone paying
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: attention compared to his prime, which is not like a rip,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that's just the reality of the situation. And he looks old.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: You see some of the clips and he just looks
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: like an old dude playing basketball. And he gets some
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: numbers and occasionally has a big night, and people get
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: all horny for that, and they get all excited to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: get their pants down. But the reality is he just
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: moves around slower. He's not a total big lug. At
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: this point, there's not a lot of fluidity. He's not
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: the freight train to the rim that he had been,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: which is you anticipate.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That's how it works.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: That's how it's supposed to work, unless you're on a
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: whole cocktail of good stuff, and even then, when you
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: get to a certain age, it doesn't matter.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And the idea that he wants to be reunited, this has.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: To be coming from Lebron right, that he wants to
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: be reunited with his Taco Tuesday homeboy, Anthony Davis, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: they can do funny videos on TikTok making tacos and
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: all that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And then you have the Uni Brow.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Who's like he's just kind of hanging out waiting for
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: someone to take him off the Wizards, and he didn't
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: have that kind of power to force his way anywhere
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: at this point, no way, not with his history. Anthony
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Davis is the Mona Lisa of injury prone players. And
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: we are so lucky people talking about living in an
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: era where they saw the all time greats. And if
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: you have a certain age, you saw the greatest basketball player.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan right. So the greatest quarterback, Tom.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Brady, the greatest baseball player, Babe Ruth didn't see him play.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Didn't see Babe.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I saw the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Gretzky saw him play. If you want to see the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Greate is testament to modern medicine and being injury prone,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: that would be Anthony Davis. Again, the Mona Lisa when
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: it comes to falling apart, always one little sneeze, one
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: little sneeze away from being out for six weeks, six
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: weeks absence for Anthony Davis.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: There.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: If all of this happens, which of course likely none
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: of it will happen, We've got a talk show to today,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: the rumors bouncing around today, so we're going to talk
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: about it right now. If all of this happens in
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the multiverse, there is a dimension where this all happens.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: They're not building a contender in San Francisco. No, they
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: would build a nostalgia museum, that's what. That would be
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: a nice museum. And they won't sniff the top of
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the West. Not gonna happen. They will dominate the Early
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Bird Special, though they will kick absolute tail at the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Early Bird Special they've got that. Doesn't this feel like
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: something that somebody made an elevator pitch after they had
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: a couple of Mohito's.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And they're like, hey, I got an idea.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Hey, let's flash back eight years and we'll reunite Lebron
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Davis and put him there with Curry and Draymond Green.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Why not bring the other splash brother back? Bring back
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Clay Thompson. He's not he can't play anymore and he's
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: not really welcome with the team in Dallas. So who Goofed?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: I've got to know? Right Meanwhile to La, speaking of
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: who Goofed? I've got to know a lot of chatter,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: number of you reached out to.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Me Cee mallor your guy could be gone. You see it,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and you see it, you see it?
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, So a lot of noise about the people's team,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the Clippers, and they have been receiving trade offers.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: People say, hey, we would really like to get Kawhi.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Leonard, who's neck and neck with Anthony Davis for being
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: fragile and so Supposedly, the chatter is that the Clippers
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: have been fielding offers from multiple teams this offseason. However,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the chatter that we've heard is that they're not really
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: all that interested in getting out of the Kawhi Leonard business.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they be.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: He's done so good, he's always healthy, and they're committed
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: to keeping him and giving him a new deal extending
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard for a little while longer. Okay, Now, the
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: big gossip over the weekend was that the Toronto basketball
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: team and the Dallas basketball team they had their laser
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: locked in on Kawhi Leonard.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: They were hot and heavy to get Kawhi.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: You have Massai you Jira Eu Jerry rather the GM
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: in Dallas who was in Toronto when Kawhi was there,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and they just have the Toronto thing, which is just wonderful. Like,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: if you're the Raptors, why wouldn't you want back an
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: older version of Lebron of Kawhi? Right, we whipped the
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Lebron for being forty one. Kawhi is thirty five and
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: he's got a lot more in the injury tank at
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: this point than Lebron does. So Kawhi Leonard supposedly, we
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: talked about this a little bit the end of last week,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: but Kawhi Leonard would sign an extension with Toronto and
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: the Raptors are all into it. The Clippers are supposedly listing.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I love the reporting the Clippers are listing. They're listening
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: to offers doing their due diligence. It's all about the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: due diligence there and China side. They found the offer
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: so far to be underwhelming. There are some of the
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: offers being reported on the interweb and they do.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Look very underwhelming, very very underwhelming.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Like Dallas is going to trade some bags of trash
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: from after a Cowboy game out at the Jerry's.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: World, and they want to give those.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Bags of trash. They want to like to give those
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: to the Clippers for Kawhi Leonard. So far, the Clippers say,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: we don't need bags of trash.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: We're good on that. Although that is really nice trash
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: from the cowboys, we're good on that.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: And they would only consider trading Kawhi the Clippers if
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard himself said Isa La good bye and demands
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: a trade. So if that happens, then all of a
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: sudden we got something. There no indication that he's interested
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: in that. Of course, Kawhi is not really interested in
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: much of anything that involves activity. He likes to shut
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: down like a computer, you turn the computer off. Kawhi
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: likes to just do his own thing and all that stuff.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: So there's been no overwhelming offers. Supposedly, that is a
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: good jumping off point. So let us discuss the question
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: what do you read in to the Clippers handling of
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: the many Kawhi Leonard rumors as the silly season gets
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: cranked up here in pro bouncy ball. So it tells
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: you that the Clippers and the rest of league. The
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: big takeaway from this, the Clippers and the rest of
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: the NBA do not believe that there will be any
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: kind of real punishment to Kawhi Leonard based on the
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: reporting that's taken place here, that he's not going to
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: be disciplined in any way for his Sopranos style no
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: show job, which some dorky podcaster won a Pulitzer Prize
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: for the NBA. It sounds like they doesn't really give
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: a crap. As we talked about, I had heard from
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: somebody who works in the NBA that said this would
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: rip the scab off, and this is common practice, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: if the Clippers get dinged, they'll start outing other teams
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: that have done the same thing. I'm not going to
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: sit here and say the New York Knicks with Jalen
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Brunson and are one of those teams.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: You can say that. I'm not going to say that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Let's just say the chatter is that it's Kawhi's not
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: the only one, and it's pretty open who's got special
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: side deals And if you get the clips, which you
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: can certainly do, then you're gonna have to bring down
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: some other guys in the NBA would like to avoid that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: We'll see if that turns out to be the case
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: or not. Now, why would the Raptors and the Mavericks.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Why would they be sniffing around Kawhi? If Kawhi is
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: going to be sent to NBA jail in Guantanamo Bay.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: It makes no sense.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Like the fact that the Clippers are listening is also
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: another tell that they're they're listening. That is that they're
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: not fully committed to keeping Kawhi. Otherwise they would say,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: we're not listening.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: No, we're not gonna listen to anything.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: You know, We're going to keep the.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Guy we love, Kawhi, Leonard that old thing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: So they're not doing that. They're not shutting the door
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to Kawhi. Instead, they're holding it open. They've got their
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: foot in the door. They're waiting for the Domino's delivery
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: guy to show up. And Leonard, who Today's birthday, by
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the way, Happy birthday, Happy birthday. I know he wants
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: to hear that anyway, Kawhi, Leonard turning thirty five on
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: this Monday. It's still Sunday in the West, but this Monday,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: entering the final year of a deal at fifty million,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: this upcoming season must be nice, must be really nice.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: There.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: He wants a two year, one hundred and twenty six
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: million dollar extension. I would also like that if somebody
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: wants to give me that, I'll take a two year,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty six million dollar extension. The numbers
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: apparently not matching at this particular point there.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: And that's what.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Happens when you're a part time performer, part time performer,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and you start browsing the trademarket. You start looking around.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: The clips are looking around, all right, will listen, We'll listen.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: See what's out there on Amazon and Tamu and all that.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: And then heck, I'm offering if the clips, I'm fine
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: if Kawhi goes, I'm done. I'm burned out. Is one
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: of the reasons I don't like basketball as much as
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I used to. Guys like Kawhi Leonard. I just can't
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: stand it, that mindset of I'll play when I want
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: to play, go screw yourself. So I will drive Kawhi
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: to the airport. I'll make sure he gets through customs.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I'll even have my friend Nico fly over to Toronto to
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: meet Kawhi and bring him back to the Raptors.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: And that's my my guy.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: You know, he's in Vancouver, but Nicole flighter Toronto to
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: welcome Kauhai and give him back to Toroudo.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And all that, and why not.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: The Kawhi experience has burned me. I've been burned, right,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I've been burned. The load management, epic, epic mystery, injuries
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: that don't seem like real injuries, done disappearing acts.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Check. That's the Kauhi experience with the clips all right.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Now, last word to Boston, where these Celtics are rumored
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: to be desperately trying to unload Jalen Brown. What can
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Brown do for you? The trade speculation post Giannis to Miami,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: now a former NBA executive who's now on the boob
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: tube pretending to talk basketball, Bobby Marx. I don't know
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: who that is, but apparently he appeared on NBA radio,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: and that's a thing. Yes, NBA radio is a thing
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: that must be great, all right, and discussed the market,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: discuss the market.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: For Jalen Brown.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: And there was a clip that went all over the
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: place in the last less cycle on the interweb, and
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: you might have.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Seen it or heard about it.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: It was an edited thirty eight second excerpt and it
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: was posted where Bobby Mark's former NBA assistant GM said,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: there are mixed feelings about Jalen Brown around the league.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Now the key line here an unnamed analytics guy loved
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: the unnamed analytics guy not an executive, not an executive,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: and supposed he said that the view is that Jalen
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Brown is roughly the seventh best player on a team
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: and that his analytics are not good.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: O m G.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Sad Mark's positioned himself. Of course, it's more of
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: an eye test guy trying to distance himself while relaying
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the comment. Now, Jalen Brown, Sorry, do you think Jalen
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Brown ignored it? Do you think Jalen Brown said, I agree,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I'm the seventh best player on an NBA team. Or
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: do you think Jalen Brown put a megaphone on this
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and put it on blasts? So everyone who hadn't seen
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: the clip made sure to see the clip of some
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: poindexter taking a shot at Jalen Brown.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Na. Na, Na.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yet it's that answer, it's that answer. So question Celtics
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: star Jalen Brown pushing back. He said, roll the ball out.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: None of these guys are better than me on both ends.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: And he said he criticized analytics, said they're used to
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: discredit and control narratives, and he demanded the source. He
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: demanded the source and stated that analytics have and are
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: ruining the game we play. He said, they're playing AI hoops. Now,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: they're playing AI hoops.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Now. That's the that's the line, all right.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: So the question you've got Jalen Brown, Celtics star Jalen
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Brown pushing back, now pushing by against the nerds or
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: the unnamed analytic guy in this latest story trashing him.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: So whose corner are you in on this one? Whose
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: corner are you in on this one? So, after a
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: minutes long Mallard deliberation, we know that some things are complicated.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: This is not complicated at all. This is easy.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: We are squarely on the side of Jalen Brown and
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: his position as opposed to analytics guy. I've seen in
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: my life Jalen Brown actually win basketball games with his
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: ability on the court. And I have also, to be fair,
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: I've seen the nerds win as well. They win arguments
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: on Reddit, so that's important, very important. Analytics have been
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: weaponized for a number of years now, like a dirty bomb.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: They are used to disperse radioactive material and to discredit
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: players and all that. As Jalen Brown said, to control narratives.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: It's all about narrative control and all that stuff. Now
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: we've reached a point where the pocket protector guy, the
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: pocket protector guy treats a net rating a negative net
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: rating like a felony, high crimes and misdemeanors. If you
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: have a low net rating, there is that you get
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: one cherry picked metric, just one little cherry picked metric,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: and it gets blasted into the stratosphere. And you got
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: to I think Jaylen reresben five All Star Games, he's
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: been a finals MVP.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think I imagine that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I think he didn't win finals, MVP mush to the
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: chagrin of Jason Tatum when the Celtics won a couple.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Of years ago.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: And so all of this gets turned into a math
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: problem with bad vibrations, bad vibes, bad vibes. So calling
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Brown the seventh best player on a team because of
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: the saber metric society or whatever it is is laughable,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: laughable laughable level, unlike the playoff frauds, for example, the
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: guys who turn into pumpkins. Playoff Harden comes to mind.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: When the lights get bright, James Harden needs to go
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: to the club and get a lap dance. But who
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: doesn't and browns battle tested. Jalen Brown, He's a cornerstone player.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: He stepped up this year. I like to line AI hoops.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Baseball has had this issue with their sport. Basketball also
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: has it. That's why we have pop a shot in
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: most of these NBA games. It's just stand out by
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: the three point line and take three point shot after
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: three point shot after three point shot.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Unlike the.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Baseball guys, this is a different animal though, because it's
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: much easier.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It seems to.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Control basketball on where you shoot and that style of plaything,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: which is the Celtics are all in on that.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But Jalen Brown's like, hey, wait.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: A minute, you cannot chat GPT your way to toughness
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: and heart and all that stuff.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: You can't do it.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: So, as with anything, moderation, moderation, moderation am anti completely
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: against analytics. But the pendulum has swung way too far.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: It's like a cult at this point. We're at cult
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: like status. The Smart Organization's mix and match it and
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: there's not a lot of mixing and matching going on

  Speaker 3: Danny G. But Roberto used to work here.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: He same thing.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Raiders, Dodgers and Lakers do you have a closet filled
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: with all.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Like Raider gear and Dodger gear and Laker like you do.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I got him assorted and everything. Wow, okay, you don't

  Speaker 1: follow me. Look at that.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: You don't He does not follow me. RI should be
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: offended by that.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: That might be the name. And I don't know, well
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: most letters.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: I yeah, look at that, no follow and but Andy Furman,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I think you follow Andy Furman. Unbelievable, My god. All right,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: let's take I don't know, he's just you know, whatever,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: let's go.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Let's go. We'll take some calls. We started out with
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the NBA heavy, NBA heavy here.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: At the start, and uh yeah, it's wild and crazy.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Who's your bills been? Carpet bombing my timeline? Bad job
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: by him with a bunch of non nonsense. Bill says,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: tell Mike that your bosses are idiots. I'm not gonna
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: tell Mike my bosses are idiots. You tell I'm not
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: telling him that I love my bosses. As long as
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: those checks they bounce in every couple of weeks, not big,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: but they bounce. Uh. Ferg Dog says it a congratulations.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: If Lebron wants to reunite with Street, clothes. This is
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: from from Fergdog. If Lebron wants to reunite with street clothes,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: why can't he in the mountains someplace and not bother
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: anybody and and bring your son with you too?
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: He sucks. Yeah, that is a good point for Dog.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: So if Lebron ends up on the Warriors, that means
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Bronny has to be there because that's the mascot. Wherever
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Lebron goes, he's got to bring his kid who can't
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: play with him. That's the package deal. Dan writes in
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: from that Part's unknown, He says, Curry bron ad in
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: the Bay Area. It's over for Okac and the Spurs.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: The Warriors need to make this happen. Yeah, Dan just
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: put the pipe down. Dan put the pipe down. Late
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: night drug tester writes in from parts Unknown, he says
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the Warriors getting Lebron and the Unibra would have been
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: significant ten years ago. Draymond versus street clothes in a
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: fight during practice does sound enticing, it does. Doc Dan
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: from Minnesota writes in Doc Dan says Bill James, in
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: my opinion, was the worst thing that ever happened to sports.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: He created this whole mess of analytics. There's always been
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: tendencies in sports. That's what they used to call analytics.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: They call them tendencies that if a hitter swings and
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: tries to pull the ball and then you play the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: defense shifted a little bit to the poll because that's
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: what that guy does. He's a pole hitter. Now it's
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: gotten to the next level. Just Josh in Cincinnati writes
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: and he says, neither one of us are fans of vegetables,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: nor do we celebrate the devil's blood and Kawhi ruin
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: basketball for both of us. Did we just become best
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: friends or something? Eh, something like that. Let's go to
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: the phones and we'll start it out with who do
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: we have any meanie mighty moe.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Andrew. Who's in Andrew? You're on
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the ear? Why are you making noise? Andrew? This is
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: not right.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: You're embarrassing the show. You're the first call, Andrew, and
• 32:27

• 33:10
  Speaker 3: I tried to get rid of Andrew and he was
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: there and I couldn't get rid of him.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: It was a nightmare. Well it's only been it's only
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: been forty minutes. We got plenty of time to go.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: We got a lot of time to go.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I put you on.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: And the reason I wanted to put you on is because, uh, well, well,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: first of all, you're you're great. People love you, You're very positive,
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: and you're a lot of fans. And then the other
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: thing is you're in Memphis and Jahn Morant, right Ja Moran?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Uh, still still stuck there.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: They can't get rid of m I saw some of
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: the rumors over the weekend that the Grizzlies were trying
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: to send.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Them to Miami.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Even after the Yannis trade, the Heat have no interest
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: in him. They had no interest before the honest deal.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Now forget about it. Obviously even after they're not interested,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: and and Sacramento is not interested. Like, nobody wants this guy.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: He's a great player. He's a nut job, but he's
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: a great player.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: So that's why they don't want him.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Ben, I guess I got time for all that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Man. You know you won't play some games, play some basketball,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: your media, all this status, trying to focus?
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Man, win some games.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: You know nobody want.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I'll pay you all this money to ask for food.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I don't think so, right.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: You put put the hammer down, Big Daddy, gotta put
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the hammer down.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Hey, man, imagine something.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I know you played it. So it's be good to
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: get a fake credit card to play online gambling.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Or use your real credit cards?
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Are you asking me for illegal advice? Is that what
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: you're asking me for? I feel like I cannot give
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: that advice out on the radio because that would be inappropriate.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Now good advice is gambling?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Is it legal in Tennessee? It is right where you are.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: It's legal. Yeah, yeah, it's illegal. But I don't want
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to use my card I want to use a card
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: like ten dollar card to buy you know what I'm saying.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, well a I don't know if that's allowed.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: They have very strict rules on what.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: You can use and what you can an't use because
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: they do want to track you, whether you like it
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: or not, Big Daddy, they do like to keep track
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: of you.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: So you got to look into that. Uh.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: And it's it's like if you go with our sponsored
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: draft kings, they're they're regulated and you know, they've all
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: the rule, the.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Loopholes they have to go through and all that with
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the government.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: So in terms of that, I mean anything you buy online,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: any any product, whether it's gambling or anything, there's always
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: a risk that somebody's going to steal your information.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: So it's not perfect, but you should be okay, you
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: should be all right.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, you weren't going to go to an offshore
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: book in the Cayman Islands. Is that what you're looking
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: at here? No, I'm just gonna leave it alone to
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: take stick with the lottery tickets.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, pretty good? All right?
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean you can, you can mix it up
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't hurt to try, but you're gonna have
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I've noticed if you win.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Money, you usually have to have your They need your
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: driver's license and all that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: More money more problem, well.
