  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Twas the night before the NBA Draft, and all was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: not quiet in the land? Is we got action? We
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: got act If you love the transaction, It's a big
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: night in the audio dojo for the transaction the cummings
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and goings department of pro bouncy Ball, which is much
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: more interesting, much more riveting than anything at all, anything
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: at all that happens in the regular seasons. We are
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: gonna settle in and let's get freaky with it. It's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: been a rumor for months. It is now based in reality.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Or leave this out from the high speed Transaction wire
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: as a blockbuster trade has been completed. The great Creak
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is on the move. Now. I assume you've heard by
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: now it is possible that you've been living in a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: van down by the river, and you have not been
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: paying attention without Wi Fi reception. So we have learned
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that the Milwaukee Bucks have decommissioned the greatest player they've
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: had in many, many years, Giannis Adenta Coombo, the face
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: of the franchise. No more, Bye bye, the Bucks said
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: as they kicked his ass out of Milwaukee, along with
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Bobby Portis. They go to the Miami Heat. Miami, Miami, Miami,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: suntanosan palmstring, palm trees, beautiful people, cocktails, all that they
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: go to Miami. In return, the Bucks receive a package
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: centered round Tyler Hero he sucks, along with three role
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: players and three first round draft picks. But wait, there's more.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The deal includes Miami's number thirteen pick in the Tuesday
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: night that would be tonight NBA Draft still late Monday
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: night in the West, one first round pick swap. We
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: always love that the swaparoo and one second round pick
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: as well thrown in there. So that is a good
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question, how do
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the judges scorecards read on this Jannis Adenta Coombo trade
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: as the Bucks getting out of the winning business and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they are settling in to Suckville, USA as they say
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: bye bye the Honis and hello to Tyler Hero. So
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we'll go to the judges scorecards on this my thoughts
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: before we go to the scorecard, I've got Spirit, Halloween, Doctor,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: feel good, and parasite, and we will combine all of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: these things together, all of them, not some of them,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: all of them, will throw them in the hopper and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: together we are going to double down on the goodness,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. Double down on the goodness.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So the Mallor report card, the Malor scorecard record here
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on this one the tale of two completely different disasters.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That's how it reads on the scorecard.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: There.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: The Miami Heat get on the Malar scorecard a B minus,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a B minus on the Mallard grading book. And the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks they get the big fat D is what
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: they get. We'll start. We're gonna start in South Beach
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: where the weather's better. Things are just kind of cooler,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: So we'll start there. This is pat Riley going down
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to Spirit House, which is very hard to find this
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: time of the year. But he went down to Spirit
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Halloween and he dressed in a whaler's costume, not a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: hard for whaler's costume, an actual whaler's costume. Jannis has
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: been for the Miami Heat. The white whale they've been
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: trying to catch. They've been pursuing Giannis for years in
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: South Florida, and they finally caught him. They finally got him,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and so there you go. However, here's the catch. Of course,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be careful what you wish for. Pat Riley finally caught
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the white whale, and at the same time he might
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: have sunk the boat in the process. Say what, Yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all right, So Riley absolutely gutted the roster, which generally
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with. However, when you look at what's left, yikes.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: The Heat got rid of just about anyone, spare parts,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: situational players, all that stuff. They got rid of all
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the draft capital. So the roster is completely of role players,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: bench production, null and void, and no shooting. In fact,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: right now, I'm considering going on sabbatical from the radio show,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and I am willing to go to Miami and join
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the Heat as moneyball Mallor and just knock down three
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: point shots. Just put me in the corner, and Coach
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Spoe put me in the corner there. I'll just be
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: moneyball mallor rat a tat tat, and that's what I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: thinking about doing. Just taking this sabbatic will take a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: year and just go do that. No, well, I'm better
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: than some of those those bozos they have on the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Heat roster right now. So you got the guy you wanted,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and you have these two defensive pillars in Giannisi Denta
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Koombo and the man that had the most bogus eighty
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: plus point game in NBA history, Bam out of Bio
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: as the one two punch. I'm sure they'll come up
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of dope nickname for Bam and Yanni's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: side by side. However, both of them are non shooters
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and this is a shooters league in the NBA, So
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: unless Riley has another couple miracles pulled up his sleeve,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we'll see. There's plenty of time left before next basketball season.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: This is a big, big point on the map where
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you look at trades and transactions and all that stuff.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens next. But right now, we
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: do the show today and as of this hour breaking
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: down the Miami Heat. It's not great. They got the name,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and that's cool. You add into the fact that at
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: age thirty one, Jannis is elite. He's mostly been elite
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: at missing games recently. That seems to be a bit
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of a struggle, and so we'll see how that goes
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the Heat. If they don't add a premier shooter, it
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: becomes an issue there, the floor spacing situation for the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Miami Heat. You get the age thing, the games missed,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Giannis looks like he's more ready for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a Vegas residency at this point than he is to
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: put a team on his back and carry them to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the Promised Land again. So it is a high stakes
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: gamble in what appears to be a wide open Eastern Conference.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Nobody takes the Knicks seriously as a legit dynasty type team.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It just happen to have a good playoff run. That's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: about it. The Knicks will go back to Reality'd be
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: another fifty years before they win anything. So they're out
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and then you look around. It's like, Okay, there's a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: lot of teams that could be good, may be good,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: might be good. So that's why I give this a B.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Minus the age of Giannis, the way he's performed recently,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the roster set up of the Miami Heat, so they
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: do not get an A plus plus plus. The Miami
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Heat get a B minus. However, in Miami their boat
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: might be sinking, right, they might be sinking. But Milwaukee
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they didn't even try to sail. The Milwaukee Bucks they
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: get the D because they chose quantity over quality, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: rather than get qualities and not on we want the quantity.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee did not trade Yiannis. They merely send him out
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to Pond Stars to be on an episode of Pond Stars.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: They pawned him off for a bunch of stuff, bunch
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of old, dusty stuff that smells like just old stuff,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and they paid a premium to get the stuff. It's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a hoarder's paradise, an absolute horders paradise. Now the centerpiece
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is Tyler Hero, who everyone agrees is good but not great,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: good but not great. Tyler Hero a one dimensional player,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: a one way player, the scouting report says, who might
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: not even stay in Wisconsin. This is likely just a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: temporary situation before you go somewhere else. Hero is widely
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: regarded as one of the five worst defensive players in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the NBA, often not even trying on defense, which is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: quite the compliment. There and he is the person that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: has the bullseye on his back. In playoff situations, they said,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: whoever hero is guarding, let's get the ball to that guy,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: because the hero can't stop a cold, can't blow his nose,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: none of that stuff, And so that usually exposes itself
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs more than the regular season. You can
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: buy that with the durability issues he's got, even though
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: he's much younger than Yannis, he's in his mid twenties
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and missed a bunch of time last season. So it's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a high stakes deal for Miami. It's a pawn shop
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: special for Milwaukee. And that's the Malard scorecard. As Giannis
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: goes to South Florida to enjoy the nice weather and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: heat culture, heat culture. Meanwhile digging a bit deeper on
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the Miami side of things, as we lay it all
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: out for you and we slice it and dice it.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: So the question is the Greek freak this trade? Is
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the Greek freak trade championship or bust for the Miami Heat?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Is this a championship or bus situation? So the answer
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: is yes, I'm nodding my head obviously. Absolutely, You've got
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a giant spotlight, right there on the Heat locker room.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: You're saying, Hey, we're coming after you, Jalen Brunson and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the Knicks, We're coming after you. The tzar of the Heat,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: pat Riley Ryles, old Laker radio guy. Pat Riley is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: eighty one. And when you're eighty one and still running
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a basketball team, you are in bonus time. You're an
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: extra innings. You're an extra innings, and so you're not
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: worrying about a five year rebuild when you're eighty one
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: years old. I'd only hire really old people to run
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: my teams because you can't worry about the long game.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You gotta worry about the short game. It's like, we're
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: not here for a long time, We're here for a
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: good time. And Riley wants that one more championship. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: while there are questions about Giannis, and it's a bus
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: B plus type trade, not anything more than that. If
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you look at it, though, Miami at least got the
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: player that has the star dust. So they have the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: stardust player and the undercard is empty. The undercard is
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: not great, that's problematic, and sure Jiannis and Bam Aute
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Bayo will be pretty good together. We mentioned defensively, they
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: don't shoot the ball all that well. There's not a
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: lot of windows there. The rest of the heat are bedraggled.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: At this point, the roster is bedraggled, hollowed out, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: so this is a gamble that demands perfect health, which
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen perfect health. And Yannis has not been that guy.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy. Palt hadn't been that guy in
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a while. Of course, we had a feeling Giannis would
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be traded when he called out the Milwaukee Bucks for
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: tanking as they were tanking this past year. That is taboo.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do it. So he's thirty one,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: as mentioned, giannisident to Koombo his knees are fifty one
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm told they sound when he walks like bubble
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: wrap popping. That's what it sounds like there. And he's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: had in the last couple of years, he's had more
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: MRIs than playoff wins, which I didn't play in the NBA,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and I'm not a doctor. I can just play one
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: on the radio. I don't think that's good. It's the
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: exact kind of desperate, top heavy move that often gets
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: you bounced in the second round. Of the playoffs, and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: everyone just pretends like they're shocked. I can't believe that
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: did not work out. And Riley and the Heat now
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that they got a fine tune this thing, and they
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: got a few months to play around with it and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and forget the addition they got to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: add some players. But my advice, unsolicited overnight radio advice,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: is for the Bucks to put a special call out
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to their team doctor doctor feel good and take GIANNISI
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: dent to Cumbo down there and in the middle of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Alligator Alley right there in Florida. You up to Alligator Alley,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and that is where Ponce de Lyon is at, and
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: you contact the ghost of Ponce de Lyon, and you
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: make sure to get the Fountain of Youth and have
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: some of that water delivered to the Greek freek. Now,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: last word, it gets even better. It gets better and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: better and better. So the last couple of days there
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: was a whedling down of the trade speculation. And as
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of when I woke up on Monday and I started
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: futzing around looking around and seeing what was going on.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: The big talk was it was neck and neck down
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the stretch. We come at the Kentucky Derby. You had
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the Celtics and the Heat neck and neck, and the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks were trying to process those all first and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: decide what they want to do. Is it true that
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: relatively new Milwaukee Bucks owner Jimmy Haslam, Yes, that Jimmy Haslam,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: who's run the Cleveland Browns into the ground even deeper
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: than we thought was possible for the factory of sadness,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that that Jimmy Haslam played a major role in deciding
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to take the Heat offer over Boston's offer developing hot
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: dot dot dot. The primary reason, if you believe the reporting,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the primary reason Haslam wanted the offer from Miami as
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: opposed to the offer from Boston was because of the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: larger quantity, not the quality, the quantity of assets in
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: return he did not the Milwaukee owner did not want
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to acquire, did not want to acquire Jalen Brown would
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: which was the star of the Celtics offer and the
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: reason he did not want Jalen Brown not because Jalen
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Brown is a bad players, not he wanted Jalen Brown.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: And the reason he didn't watch Jayleen Brown because he
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: was worried that Jalen Brown would have a hissy fit
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and demand his way out of the smaller market in
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee within a year. So the question do you agree
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: with the logic of Bucks owner Jimmy Haslam wanting to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: avoid Jalen Brown, who was available and could have been
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: a Milwaukee Buck except Jimmy Haslem said no, So the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Bucks are so bad? How bad are they? Thanks for asking?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: They're so bad they're now infecting they are the the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: The Browns are so terrible they're now infecting NBA front offices.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: That this multi the Browns have become a multi sport
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: parasite that is now impacting other teams. That's how bad
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns are. That Jimmy Haslam who you'd think
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the owners might want to vet out guys like Jimmy Haslam.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: He's done such a terrible job in Cleveland. But no, no,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: they said, I will take Jimmy Haslam's money. The truck
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: stop dude will take his money. So the Bucks co
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: owner Jimmy Haslam is essentially admitting, if this is accurate,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: he's admitting that he has PTSD. He's telling every man,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: woman and child, every man wanning child, Hey, listen, he
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: turned down a better trade, but I got going to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: see this guy Demanda trade. Jalen Brown could demand a trade,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: so he took less in return, took less in return.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown is twenty nine, He's an all NBA type talent.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: He's a little younger than Yannis. He's a little healthier
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: than Yannis. And rather than attempt to make it work
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, we're not gonna we're not gonna go
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: scared here. We're gonna try got to make this thing work.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And rather than go with it and say, Okay, I'm
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: gonna build the roster around Jalen Brown. We're gonna make
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: make him feel great and we're gonna have him very
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: happy here in Wisconsin, has him like, no, no, no,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I don't want the better player. Can I see what's
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: in the mystery box? What's in the box? You got? Tyler?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Hero congratulations? So passing on Jalen Brown for a much
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: lesser player, hero ball. It's like you're dating and you
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: have a chance to date a nine, not a ten,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: not a ten, a nine, and you say, you know what,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to date a nine because there's a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: lot of pressure. People look at me like, hey, you
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: don't qualify to be with a nine. What's wrong with you?
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: And so instead you just date three threes instead of
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: one to nine. And that's essentially what you've done because
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you're afraid of commitment. So good luck. It is a
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: total lack of self confidence. And the Bucks essentially, you
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: can't coach scared, you can't play scared, you can't own
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: a team scared. And the Milwaukee Bucks owner Jimmy Haslam
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is living in a mansion which is also a haunted
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: mansion as well. And to be fair, the Bucks did
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: not get fleeced. I do not want to sit here
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and say the Milwaukee Bucks got fleeced. The Milwaukee Bucks
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: fleece themselves in an act of pure self checkout sabotage.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Who goofed? I've got to know that's not a strategy.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: That is the fear disguised as philosophy. And even if
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: you traded for Jalen Brown and he didn't want to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: play in Milwaukee, you could still get more for him
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: than if Tyler Herro does want to play in Milwaukee,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you can still get more for him. And so now
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the Bucks, just like the Brownies, are going to be
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in purgatory for a decade or longer as they are
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: riding the Vomit comedy.

• 19:30
  Speaker 1: We'll break it down for you right now. We'll slice
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and dice it in the whole thing here, put some
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: cayenne pepper on top. As we begin this hour with
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: more of the transaction. We love the transaction, and we
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: had a pretty good one, pretty good transition. A couple
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of big moves, the Honestident to Cooombo relocating to South Florida.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: It's the nature of the beast in pro bouncy ball.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So he's on the move. And we also had a
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: trade involving Minnesota and that they were in the mix.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Gunner in Minnesota's Timberwolves were in the mix to acquire Giannis.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: They did not get him. They finished with the bronze medal,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the Celtics got the silver medal, and the Miami Heat
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: got the player. So the Timberwolves decided to make a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: separate trade. They said bye bye to Julius Randall and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the number twenty eight pick. In tonight's NBA draft, they
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: go to Brooklyn in the house as part of a
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: three team deal also involving the Chicago Bulls. So if
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you didn't see it, perhaps not the thumbnail recap for
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: moving Man Matt on the highways and byeways of North America.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: The Timberwolves say goodbye to Julius Randall and the twenty
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: eighth pick outbound from Minnesota. The Nets picked up Randall
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: and the twenty eighth pick, although it is subject to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a possible second trade where Randall could be going somewhere
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: else because the Nets haven't tried to win and will
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: not try to win in our lifetimes. Then you've got
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls who were part of this trade. Nick Kloxton,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: who's just a roster filler guy, goes from the nets
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and he goes to Chicago. The Timberwolves, all of that moving,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and they picked up the thirty third pick. So they
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: gave up the twenty eighth pick and a player and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in return they got the thirty third pick. That's it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: discuss the question how do you grade how do you
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: grade Minnesota's trade if you want to call it that
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: of Julius Randall to Brooklyn. So I've got Bruno, Mars,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: lunch Box, and Mattiney and we will combine all of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are gonna give you the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: razzle dazzle, is what We're gonna give you, a little
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: razzle dazzle. So number one, number number one, number one,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Numbrue number one, number one, number one. The Timberwolves just
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: stop by on this transaction. They stopped by dung Hill
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: now Dunghill, because this was a dump right there. They
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: just said bye bye, and they pulled off some hocus
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: pocus and they did it for the cap. It's all
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: for the cap. That's the spin out of Minnesota, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: how do you convert and turn that into spam. Well,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: just give away one of your rotational players and a
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: draft pick for a lesser draft pick, and then, because
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of the salary cap, you've convinced your customers what a
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: wonderful move this is. It is so good, so so
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: so so soda. Yeah, this is a pure, unfiltered salary
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: dump is what this is. Minnesota is going to end
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: up giving up the higher draft pick and the player,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and the player they offload the players contract. It is
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: a demo situation. It's a roster demo situation. Listen, why
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: don't I sit here and sing the praises of Julius Randall.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: We have done many a Mallard monologue over the years,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: questioning Julius Randall's productivity in big moments in playoff games,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and this was an issue yet again this year as
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Minnesota went belly up in the playoffs. And so there
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: are some issues there, right, there are some issues. Randall's
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a flawed player, and he has often vanished in the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: playoffs when the team needs him. He had a miserable
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: time this year, averaging less than thirteen points on thirty
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: four percent shooting. I believe was the number against the Spurs,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and then I supposedly skipped out on an exit interview,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: which became an issue, and then that got out there.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Now nevertheless, all right, despite all that, you would still
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: rather have regular season Julius Randall and a guy that's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a borderline on the fringes of an all star type
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: thing than blank salary cap space. That's just me for
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the second star. They need that second guy. Now, he
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: was in the number two chair, Julius Randall, and Anthony
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Edwards is obviously the headliner and all that stuff. Instead,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: this is grenade, Bruno Mars grenade there giving everything and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: ending up with nothing, and as far as this trade
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: is concerned, nothing. So we did go to the Mathers
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: scorecard and the trade for the Minnesota basketball team I
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: wrote down, and I didn't give him an A. I
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: didn't give him a B. I did not give them
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: an F. I gave them an I for incomplete Ingley.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: This is a temporary stopover before supposedly a different, bigger transaction,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and that better be a nice transaction because the Wolves,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: if not, they completely completely f this up. Some major
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: skullduggery there and not in a positive way for the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Minnesota basketball team. Now page two, staying with this the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: theme of the hour, So, the Timberwolves created significant salary
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: cap space. Has anyone ever bought tickets for salary cap space?
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: No?
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Does anyone watch games for salary cap space?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: You do not?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't either. I don't watch because, oh, we
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: got salary cap space. What number is salary cap space?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: That's exciting? We Yeah, So the Timberwolves are letting their
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: buddies in the media, the messenger pigeons in the media
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: know that they've got a bunch of salary cap space
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: by unloading Julius Randall, they get thirty three point three
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: million in a player trade exemption, which is half the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: side of the devil thirty three point three million, So
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: that goes to Minnesota. And this has led to chatter
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that the Timberwolves have their eye on the prize and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: that prize a jawbreaker jaw morant yep, that job. Now,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: useful idiots in the Minnesota media and there are many
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: of them are shooting down this.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: No, the Timberwolves do not want They do not want
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to get Jamran after trading Julius rand They don't want
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that that's not what they want, so fine. The question
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: is not that. The question is this, should the Timberwolves
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: make a push to pursue Ja Morant of the Grizzlies,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: who is on the market. And the answer and the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: only acceptable answer here is one hundred percent yes, one
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: hundred percent yes. This of course is where you need
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to go, and you do what you have to do.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: You work it out. If there's a will, there's a way.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: The Wolves should absolutely make a full on push to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: acquire Ja Moran. Not because it's safe, not because it's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: the smart thing to do, not because of that. You
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: do it because it's a golden opportunity and it's you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: can hear it knocking on your door. You hear you
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: could hear the door right there. It's knocking on the
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: door right there, and you go for it. The Grizzlies
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: are essentially running a sidewalk doorbuster sale, like the door
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: has already been busted, all the stuff's on the sidewalks,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and they're like, hey, we got a flea market going on.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: This is a franchise level player. As a franchise level player,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Jah Morant has been on the trade block for two years.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Nobody's bottom two years. You can get them for pennies
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: on the dollar if you want. Jahn Morant and Memphis
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: is selling a Ferrari right, they're selling you a Ferrari
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and Kia prices now. Granted, the Ferrari needs some work.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: There's some dents in the back there, and the check
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: engine light keeps flashing every time you turn left. I
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: don't know why it keeps flashing every time you turn left,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So it's not the perfect Ferrari. However, I have learned
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: over the years that you generally do not get an
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: All NBA level talent without a few dents and scratches.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: And that's just the reality of it. So if you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: look at the fender, there's going to be some dents,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the paint's going to be scratched up a little bit.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: That's just the way it is. And sure, is he
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: a loose cannon, absolutely, John Morant is. That's why he's available.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: He's got a combo meal of injuries and off court issues,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of them. He only played twenty games this
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: past season, I believe I think the number was twenty,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and when he played, he put up numbers. The Grizzlies,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: though they're lurking They're like, okay, listen, this is our
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: opportunity here. It's NBA Draft Day today, and they are
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: said to be hopeful that they will be playing b
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: meaning the Boston Celtics and the Minnesota Timberwolves and these
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: other teams that were putting feelers out to get Giannis
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: dent to Coombo and missed out on the Greek freak.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: They will now pivot to Memphis and say, hey, Big
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Daddy's there. Can we help out Big Daddy and the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Grizzlies and can we you know, let's see what we
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: can get here. So, if not the Wolves, now there
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: is basketball Siberia that is a possibility. Sacramento is said
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: to be an option for John Morant. What could possibly
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: go wrong with that? Now we know the Wolves are
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: focused on finding the magic formula around Anthony Edwards and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: they're looking around, I got to find another prime option.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Unless this is just the A Rod ownership group downsizing,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: which had been a rumor that they're not going to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: reinvest in the team and that this is just all
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: an effort to strip things down and save some money. However,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the idea if you're trying to win, and I don't
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: know that A rod is in that group that with
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: the ownership group in Minnesota, the dynamic duo of Aunt
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Edwards on one side and John Morant on the other side.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Unstoppable on a tablet. Now, whether that's actually unstoppable on
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: a game, that's a different conversation. Think of it like
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: a lunch box. And the lunch box is filled with
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Dino nuggets and uncrustables, that's unstoppable a lunchbox. You would
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: dominate lunch if you had uncrustables and Dino nuggets, a
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: sugar fueled lunch table. Chaos causing situation if you had
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: all that. And At Edwards is still a fire breathing dragon,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and John Morant is like a joystick that's got a
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: bit of a glitch. Just a bit of a glitch there,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: all right. Meanwhile, final point to the police blotter. We
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: go to the police blotter. Baby Mama Drama, Baby Mama
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Drama Department, Davy, Florida. More follow up follow up to
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: a Mallard monologue. We started the previous show with NFL
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: starting quarterback being investigated by the cops because of baby
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Mama drama on Father's Day. That would be Jets quarterback
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Gino Smith. He stinks Gino Smith. Early indications were that
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: this case was closed, nothing to see here, it was
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: no longer active. And then we had a plot twist.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: So all of this stemming from the video posted over
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the weekend by random baby Mama who claimed that Gino
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Smith had physically assaulted her. She said three words, beat
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: my ass, is what she said. She also claimed that
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Gino is a big fan of Call of Duty and pornography.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Big fan of those things, aren't we all? And so
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: that is the story the police recalled. It was on video.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: You saw the cops there. Police responded to his residence
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: on Fasday afternoon, about four point forty late afternoon there
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, no arrest at the scene. The initial reporting
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: suggesting the case was closed and that was it. After
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a quick look, well now said to be something else.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: We have Andy Slater, the great Fox Sports reporter in
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: South Florida. Andy Slater from Fox Sports reporting that a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: detective will now investigate further. The case is not closed.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It is not closed, and there's more to the story.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: All right, question where is Jets quarterback Geno Smith's police drama?
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: O rama headed? All right? So right now, it's treading
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: water and the water does not smell particularly good. The
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Jets always seem to end up in these type of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: situations they do. It's a gravitational pull towards chaos. So
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: you for some reason traded for Geno Smith and somehow
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: didn't even make it to training camp and the circus
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: tent has gone up under the big top. Under the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: big top here, the guy cannot make it even through
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Father's Day weekend without turning this into a TMZ Mattinee
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: performance for all to see here, and at this point,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the Jets management should just list his weekly status as questionable.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith's status is questionable. That's it listed as personal drama.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Personal drama every single time, every single time the Jets
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: think they have found something different and unique and somewhat
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: exciting and all that the page they're looking at. When
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: they turn the page, it starts burning up. It's wild.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: So the case is not closed based on the latest
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: reporting involving Geno Smith. And just like the team's ability
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to avoid embarrassment is also not closed. So that's we
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: are now the NFL personal conduct policy. Warming up in
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: the bullpen, warming up in the bullpen. So we'll see
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: if anything happens to Meanwhile, the Jets have not publicly commented.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: They didn't even give us the we are aware of
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the situation. We have no further comment at this time.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: They didn't even give us that. I didn't see it.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: If they did, did you see it? I didn't see it.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: They didn't even give that statement out and they haven't commented,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: probably because they're still googling how to handle another quarterback crisis.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: And what do you do? I don't know, we want
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: me to, I don't know.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: It's Mallar how about that?
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: To the third degree? This is one big Ben gets grilled.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: The Cowboys have missed out on the playoffs for the
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: past two seasons in a row. Earlier this week, Dak
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Prescott said making the postseason in twenty twenty six is
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: the minimum?
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Ben, Do you think Dallas can achieve the minimum this year?
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: It's far from a guarantee. They don't have a good coach.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: The roster is a little better than it was last year.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: Washington's a wild card in the division.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia is not as good as they were last year
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: without aj Brown, so they're a little worse. The Giants
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: are better. It is really a toss up. It's like
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: a sixty forty situation. The Cowboys make the playoffs, there's
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: a forty percent chance they don't.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Next, both Marcus Smart and DeAndre Ayton of the Lakers
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: have player options heading into next season. Do you expect
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: either or both of them to exercise their option and
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: return to LA?
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Well, it always depends. Is there another sucker that will
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: pay you more money. Marcus Smart, I would think would
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: come back. He's pretty washed at this point. DeAndre Aiden's
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: also washed, and he was a complete failure as a
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Laker last year. However, there's always a sucker for a
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: guy that's as tall as DeAndre Ayton, and he was
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the top pick in the draft years ago, and so
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I could see him leaving. If I'm Marcus Smart, though,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: I would stay because I can't imagine anyone's going to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: pay him that kind of money or any kind of money.
• 35:38
