  Speaker 1: Com The Way Tire Buying showbeat. So there was no
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals game, and initially I was slightly concerned. I said,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: oh my, we don't really we don't talk much golf
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: around these parts, and I know the US Open outside
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was played, and not really much of a talker,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: so I was like, oh, man, there's no NBA game.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I was like, yes, we'll talk some baseball. And then
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, I was at a baseball game.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. And then like all
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: these big trades happened. I was like, wow, that's great.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So roughly thirty minutes prior to the Doyers and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Giants game, a game that I was at, I started
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: getting all these text messages from random, random people. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: said well, who's bothering me? It's it's a Sunday, Sunday night,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, shows not till later, like you know what's
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: going on. And so I was. I was in a
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: social situation. I was trying to be polite. I mean,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I learned my manners back in the day, and I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be on your phone the whole time
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: when you're you're at a meal. So I was like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm not going to look at my phone
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and anykay, I kept getting these buzzes like that, huh man,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: something big must happen. Last time I got something like
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this was like the Luca like if somebody died or
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: somebody got traded. Last time I got a lot of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: messages like this, it was the Luca trade. So I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: was like, oh man. So I was annoyed at first.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, who's bothering me? And I'm trying to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: be polite and all this stuff and okay, rare in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: appropriate night of the ballpark. And then all of a sudden, da,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I opened the phone up. I said, whoa, wow, oh man, wowie,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: because howie I can't but I was like, whoa, you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I get excited and yeahs as much as you can
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: possibly get excited as a middle aged person about a trade.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But I was. I was intrigued by this. This This
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: got some juice. It's got some juice. So if you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: have not heard by now, I assume you have. Everyone's
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: already yapping about this, but maybe you were actually enjoying
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the weekend, did some Father's Day stuff, whatever that might be,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and then you were kind of unplucked. So the trade
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: we learned at the Boston Red Sox have traded the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: face of the franchise. They have said bye bye to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Rafael Devers, fat ass, and they have sent him to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: San Francisco in a mega, mega, mega trade. Yes, the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Giants sent back inbound to Boston. They sent right handed
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: pitcher Jordan Hicks, left hander Kyle Harrison. You're getting a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: little excited. Uh, Also outfield prospect James Tibbs the third
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: sounds like a caller we used to have that called
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the show, and a minor league right hander who we've
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: never heard of. And in return, the Giants pick up
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a twenty eight year old malcontent designated hitter. And the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Giants are now two games back of the Doyers in
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the NLS standings. They lost five to four at Chavez
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Ravine on a toasty warm Sunday there and Devers having
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a pretty good season offensively, you just look at the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: numbers and not look at the context of those numbers,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: never hitting two seventy two, fifteen home runs, fifty eight
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: runs batted in in seventy three games. He also hit
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a solo dinger, and the Red Sox swept the Yankees
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: at Fitway and then the ultimate f you to Devers.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: We just swept the Yankees with you. We think you
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: sucked though, so we're trading you, is what they did,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and they traded in. The trade was announced long enough
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: after the game where they didn't have to answer any
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: questions about it. The trade was leaked to the usual
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: baseball scribes that are on the inner circle. That trade
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: was leaked late in the day. Therefore, there was no way,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: no way to get any immediate reaction. So let us
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: discuss the question, how do you grade the mega trade
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: in baseball? The Red Sox sending rafi El Devers to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the Giants for a gaggle of mostly pitchers on the script,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: pitchers and one position player. So I've got my thoughts
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: on this I've got van slike airlines and nineteen sixties pop,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: we are going to make garlic fries. My advice to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: my friends in the Bay Area is keep Rafael Devers
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: away from the garlic fries. Okay, he's going to enjoy them.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They're delicious and they're very bad for you. So eventhing
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and moderation, so be careful. Now, A there are no
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: real winners in this. There are or losers for that matter.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: The Malord report card on this after a minutes long
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: analysis and deliberation of the trade, the Red Sox get
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the D. They get the D on the Malle report card.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: The Giants, I'm not giving them an A for this.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They got the player that we know is good somewhat,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but I'm giving them a B. So I'm gonna start
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: with Boston, the better story in the losing locker rooms.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: We're going to start with Boston. And the argument is, well,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they're allergic to keeping homegrown players. Here's a homegrown player
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and he's the latest to go. Just like Mookie Betts,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: they traded him. Xander Bogarts went to the Padres. So
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: like all these guys, end up in the Nation League West,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: like all the old Red Sox are now in the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Nationallygue West. And it's to me the interesting part is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the confession. We had thought this was a possibility when
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Devers refused to change positions and the owner of the team,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the Aristocrat owner John Henry, had to fly out to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, where the Red Sox were playing the Royals,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to have a pow wow with the player. That was
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a dad giveaway things were not going well. That is
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: not normal protocol for the owner of the team to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: travel to have a meeting with the star player because
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the star players is not following the plan there. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: so you had that. But it's a confession, and they
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: bet on the wrong horse. The Red Sox thought that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Devers would be different, apparently, and he was supposed to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: be the cornerstone player and middle of the order bat,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: homegrown guy, all those things, right, the guy they chose
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to build around. They didn't want to keep Mookie Bats,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to keep Xander Balguarts. This was the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: guy they wanted to Boston and now they have kicked
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: him out. Send him over to the Logan Airport. Get
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the hell out of here. You're done goodbye. And they thought,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: well we could build around mat. I can't build around him.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: And that is your lefty bat with pop you fit.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You know, the guy that you know is now I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: guess shipped off like you're returning something from you bought
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: on Amazon. You send it there and it ends up
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in a bin somewhere and then that's it. But the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: refusal to be flexible and the lack of hustle, that's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the double whammie. It's like, well I'm not willing to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: work with you, and I'm not going to hustle. Okay.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Not a team guy, a selfish tool bag would be
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Rafaeld Devers. He he did write his ticket out of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: finn Right now. The issue is the Red Sox because
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of his value being so low, because he's got a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: big contract. He's not a team guy. He doesn't hustle.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: That's the Red Sox couldn't get much for him. Like
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: they got a couple of arms and it's really just
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: some mystery boxes. What's in the box, it's a mystery box.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Like this guy, Jordan Hicks has been an enigma. Remember
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: when he came up. I believe it was the Cardinals
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and he was throwing like one hundred miles an hour.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Everyone got all horny, Oh man, this guy's great, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: if only we can get that under control and teach
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: him another pitch. And here we are. It's probably been five, six,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: seven years something like that, and Jordan Hicks is still
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: bouncing around Major League Baseball and he still throws hard,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and he's got an ERA of six and a half.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He sucks, okay, so you got him. You know, he's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: been nothing but a tease. Kyle Harrison is at this point,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: until proven OTHERWI is just a generic. He's a young guy.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I think he's early twenties, but he's not established, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: he's not projected to be any more than a middle
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of the rotation starting pitcher. And he's got numbers that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: aren't all that impressive, pitching in a pitcher's ballpark in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: San Francisco. And then they got an outfielder who's patting
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: two forty five for Eugene, which I am told is
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a ball that's pretty far away from the major leagues.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: And then they got a pitcher who this rookie, rookie
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: ball pitcher. They got a picture and rookie ball, which
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is at least thirteenth grade, I believe. Okay, so, but
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the only reason the Red Sox don't get an F
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: on this, they get a D, not F because that's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: not very good return on investment, is because your addition
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: by subtraction a Deva's bad attitude. And they got all
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: these the next wave of young players. They're worried that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Deva's going to have his bad habits are going to
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: rub off on these other guys that are the next
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: wave there and hear things right, Yeah, there's people that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: chirp around baseball by the whispers that you know, Devers
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is not a good leader. He's immature, He obviously doesn't
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: take his conditioning very seriously, all that stuff, and then
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: not willing to change positions, and just coming across as
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a complete diva. Who wants that? Does anyone want that?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Does it know? He shows up to spring training looking
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like he's really run up the Uber Eats account when
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: he gets to know the off season there and three
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: hundred million dollars inflexible, inflexible and refusing to help the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: team out. And it reminds me of one of the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: great quotes of all time in my life from a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: player you probably don't remember unless you're old. There was
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a guy that played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Cardinals named Andy vansl Like. His kid also played in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the Major League. But Andy Vnslike had one of the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: great quotes when he was in Pittsburgh and he was
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: talking about Barry Bonds. Bonds went out to the Giants,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of course in that era, and Van Slyke said, I'd
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: rather lose without him, meaning Bonds, than win with him.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And that appears to be the mindset of the Red Sox. Like.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: They just got some slop, they got some Ramen noodles,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: they got the Marcel diet, Marcel from Brooklyn Diet for
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Rafael Devers. But you have to believe that they were
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: shopping Devers to every team in baseball and this is
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: what they got in return. Now, Paige Trio, does Rafael
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Devers go out and push the Giants into the upper crust?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Are they now a legitimate threat in the National League
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to the Dodgers and the Mets and those type of teams.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: They guys have a good record. I have to have
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a good record. And so now they've added a player
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that we've heard of. So the way I approach this,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it helps close the gap, but only by a few millimeters.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: The gap is closed by a few millimeters here on
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: this And this is a major shot in the arm
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: though for that team, because it is a team that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: is a lot of flotsam and jetsam, and it is
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: also a reminder that one man's junk is another man's treasure,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: like the Red Sox just gave Devers away pretty much.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: And the Giants are all excited and all that, and
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the Jacks it Sarazos has got a good team. And
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that Buster Posey the mindset seems
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to be in the right place. Maybe that's just my
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: interpretation of it. And I certainly don't like the Giants.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I like the Dodgers, but that's a motley crew. They
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: have a motley crew of a roster. And I was
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: at the game sitting with a couple people, and these
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: guys are two of the guys I was with from
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: New York and they're I don't know any one of
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the Giants, and then we're going through the line, I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: don't know that guy, that guy. I mean, they're a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: nameless team. They are a faceless, nameless team, and now
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: they have the center of the wagon wheel. You got
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to have that middle of the wagon wheel. So now
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they have that, and Devors, in theory is going to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: be that guy. And you know, so it's a good
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: morale booster and all that three to zero three career
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: hitter in playoff baseball for Devers, and so you figure
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: he's going to hit on you know, looks can be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the seeing the Giants. I hope they paid the extra
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: money to the airlines there because when Devers arrives across
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: country flight there to join the Giants, he's pretty sure
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he's he violates all of the baggage policies as far
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: as excess weight in baggage. There's a lot of extra
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: baggage that Devers brings all right, now, final point and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the last word on the Rafael Devers mega trade as
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: he goes from the Red Sox to the Giants. So
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: how will Rafael Devers handle the West Coast? Much is
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a different experience if you've traveled, if you've been around
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the United State, there's much different experience going from playing
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Forrofessional Sports in Boston to the West Coast in San Francisco.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be a bit of a culture shock,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: you know, different atmosphere all the way around there. Fenway
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Park loud, intense, it's a pinball machine. And you go
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: out to San Francisco and it's like Oracle Park, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: think it's what they still call it. Used to be
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: packed belt Park and something. But you go out there, majestic,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: beautiful views, right, I've been there a few times. McCovey cove,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the bright blue sea out there. You get the city
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: on one side. It's wonderful, but it's all about being
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: like a nineteen sixties pop song from Donovan, Mellow Yellow.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: It's just mellow, laid back, you know, it's all that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it's And so Devers will he flourish in that environment?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Does it matter? Is he's going to really care? It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: it's not a hitter's park. That's the big thing here.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: And if you look at the cops of players that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: have left the Red Sox and the numbers when they're
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Finway to Pennant, Rafael Devers across the board is a
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: much better offensive player at Finway Park, the pinball machine
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: than he is on the road. In fact, in his
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: career at Oracle Park, he's in eighty three hitre he's
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: only played a few games there, but he's hitting O
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: eighty three small sample size devs again measurably worse. Then
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you got the contract. Now it's not my money. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: don't have to pay the money, so I don't really
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: worry about that. But from a contractual perspective, for the Giants,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you've got a guy you've picked up who's got a
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: bad attitude already, not a team guy, doesn't stay in shape,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and here you're paying him the rest of his contract
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: through twenty thirty three, three hundred and thirteen million dollars
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: to a guy with a bad attitude. He's not a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: team guy, who's a selfish schmuck. So that's who you're paying.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So you're betting that it doesn't matter because baseball, you
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: can be selfish and you'll still put up big numbers
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and all that. But it's like the old Niners coach
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Mike Singletary, and it's like you want you want winners.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I want winners. I can't selfish players, cannot win with them,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: cannot right, cannot coach for the whole thing, that whole rant,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: cannot do it. I want winners. Go on and go
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: on and on. I want people to want to win.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: They said, Well, Dever's won the World Series in twenty eighteen. Well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: of the rest of us, we're cheating in twenty eighteen
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: when they won the World Series. So there is that.

• 18:16
  Speaker 1: random photos from the DC area. This portion of the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Ben malls showmate possible in part by our friends at
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: ti Iraq. For over forty years, I'm told that's a
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: long time. Tire Iraq has been helping customers find the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerac dot com,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the way the tire buying show, it'd be so a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: lot of tris if you love triss. Now, before I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: really got going on radio, I did a gossip website
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: at Sports Rumor website for many years and loved the rumor.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't always love the trade. I liked the rumor. The
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: trade's a little bit of a letdown because then the
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: rumor's over. It's the trade and all that. But our
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: lead this hour is from pro bouncy ball. The Pacers
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and Thunders chose not to play basketball. You know, these
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: pussy willows in the NBA can't play with just one
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: day between games, so they didn't play. But on Friday,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: normally Sunday is a big TV night. They said, no,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: we'll wait till Monday night, and so they'll be playing
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: later on on Monday. But to fill the void, and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: we will get back to the Rafael devonstrate. But to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: fill the void as Devers goes from the Red Sox
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to the Giants. But in basketball, everyone's talking about this
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: a massive transactional And if you have not heard the
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Orlando Magic have said, you know what we really want
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Desmond Bane. We need Desmond Bane. We must have Desmond Bane.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: And Memphis said it's gonna cost you, and Orlando said
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: how much? And then they said sure, why not? And
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: so Orlando is get getting Desmond Bane from Memphis for
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Kentavious Caldwell Pope roster spam that gets bounced around the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: NBA Cole Anthony and not one, not two, not three,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: but four four unprotected first round draft ficks that also
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: part of the deal goes to Memphis. And then there's
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: a pick swap and some other pick swaps and all that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question for the esteem panel,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: which you are part of. Desmond bin traded for four
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: unprotected first round draft ficks to Orlando for Orlando from Memphis.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So how do you categorize the Memphis Orlando trade of
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Desmond Bine for a bunch of draft picks. So I've
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: got Jimminy cricket, grand theft, auto and graffiti, and we'll
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're going to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: make the Gobba ghoul. We're gonna make the Gobba go.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: So number one, um, he said, Number one are throwing
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: caution to the wind. And I love it. I love it,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I love it, I love it. They have no parachute.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that there's no seatbelt. They don't have
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: a safety net, there's no breaks, and just reckless, abandoned,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: just old fashion. This is the player that we want.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: How much is it going to cost? Okay, we want
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that player. They could have had anywhere. If you're willing
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to trade that many first round picks, you could have
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: conceivably gotten just about anyone outside like the top fifteen
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: players in the NBA. And it's like, okay, this is
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the guy they wanted. They looked around, they targeted, they
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: put a bulls eye on Desmond Bane and it's full
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Disney World Jimminy cricket. When you wish upon a star,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: or in this case, a second level player, but a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: good player, it makes no difference who you are. Even
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic can make an app so anything your
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: heart desires will come true. And in this case it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Desmond nice player, nice ball player, occasionally shoots light out,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: lights out, pretty good defensive player as well. Desmond main
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and said to be a solid, rock solid teammate and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: all that. So the Magic are betting a lot that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Desmond Bain will unlock new worlds if you will that
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: he'll he'll reach a higher level. And throwing all those
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: unprotected draft picks out like there's a little fun sized
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: snicker bars on Halloween. Just toss them out there. Again.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I like it. I'm not involved, I have no skin
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: in the game. I'm not a fan of either one
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of these teams. I'm just an outsider. But I love it.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: You know, no trust to process, jo slow and study
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: wins the race. No, it's hey, this is a trade.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Trades are quid pro quo. You got to give up
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: something to get something, and so fine. Now the Malor
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: report card, the Malar report card on the Desmond Bain trade.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: The Orlando Magic get an a minus in a minus
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they get and the Grizzlies get the D. They get
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: the D because they are announcing we are not even
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: trying anymore. This is a trade announcing we are tanky
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: mc tank. The Memphis Grizzlies. Come for the barbecue, don't
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: come for the basketball. Don't come for the basketball now,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: page two. So I've seen a lot and heard a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: lot of noise since this trade was announced, and it's like,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: how do you address the paranoia I'll use the word paranoia.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: How do you address the paranoia from the number of
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: people freaking out by all these draft picks that the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Magic gave up to get Desmond Bank. You paid too much?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Memphis is set up. Holy crap. So
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I've always been annoyed by this. It's been something that's
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: been a bit of a pet peeve over the years.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: And I will lay it on you if you're new
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: to the show, if you've heard it before, just sit
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: back and have a drink. But my issue is the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: obsession which low information fans, dumb fans, are convinced every
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: one of those draft picks is going to be the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: next big thing. All right. Fans treat first round draft
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: picks like they're playing Grand Theft Auto and it's a
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: cheat code and they have it, and they how why
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: did you get rid of Chico? You had a cheat code?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: You got to use the cheeticode. You can't get rid
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: of Cheeko, they say, Oh my god. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Now we have seen a trend outside of the Luca deal,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: which was not a deal. I mean, it seems pretty
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: obvious now based on these other trades that that was
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: orchestrated by someone at the NBA or whether it's for
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: TV or whatever reason, to just hand Luca to the Lakers.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And this trade if Desmond Bain is worth four unprotected
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: first round draft picks and a couple of pick swaps
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and Luca is worth one first round pick and a
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: broken down, washed up Anthony David, you gotta be joking.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've been hiding it. They're not even hiding
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: it anyway, here's the deal, let's get down to it.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: The spoiler on this is that these picks in NBA
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: circles do not have as much value. They just don't, right.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Draft picks are a renewable asset. We have preached on
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that mountain top for many, many years. They're renewable and
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: even if you give up a lot, eventually you'll be
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: able to replace them because every year you get one,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and if you trade four, you just got to be
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: at least competitive for the next few years and you
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: can upgrade your RUSS. There are different ways to do this.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: There are different ways to do this. And for those
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: triggered by the mirror volume of the draft picks and
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, what are the odds? Riddle me this Batman.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: What are the odds that any of those first round
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: picks turn out to be a player even as good
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: as Desmond Bane. And you probably don't think Desmond Ban's
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that good because you don't watch the Grizzlies and you
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: don't really know basketball. Okay, he's not that great. What
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: are the odds? What is it? Is it ten percent?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Is it fifteen percent? I wouldn't say it's any more
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: than fifteen ten percent, probably less than that, less than
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: that one of those picks will turn out to be
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: what Desmond Bain is. So you're gambling at this point
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: in the NBA draft. You're gambling at betting on teenagers,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of them, like out of France or somewhere,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: and you're betting on them. Well, Bain is out there,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and he'll give you twenty points, likely more than that
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in Orlando because he'll be asked to do more than that,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: but twenty points. He'll defend the other team's top wing
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: player and he's not gonna cause a lot of drama,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: rama and all that. So what's wrong with that? It's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the NBA's version of instead of building a car from
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: just getting the parts and put in the cardios I'm
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get a certified pre owned car. That's Desmond Main.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: In this case, you certified, pretty good warranty figure for
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: the next three or four years, he'll be fine. So
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: you're getting a premium player, not a top ten or
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: fifteen player, but a good, solid second line player. And
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: that's what Orlando needed. Now final point. Now we get
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: down to the real interesting part of this is the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: meaning of it from thirty thousand feet in the sky.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: So what does this Desmond trade, Desmond Bain trade. What
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: does this Desmond Bain trade mean for Ja Morant, Ja
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Morant and his future in Memphis. So we can strike
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: up the band right now. Nana na na noa, Hey, goodbye,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: see you later. Yeah, he's on stand by right now.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Ja Moran is on stand by. The summer of transactions
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: hasn't even gotten started. That begins after the NBA Finals,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and Ja Moran is on stand by. If you can
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: read the graffiti on the wall. Time to start packing.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: And for Jah Moran, he's got to pack up all
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: his weapons, his finger gune, his imaginary grenades, his make
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: believe torpedoes. Got to pack all those up is make
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: believe suitcase. And you're gone, and look at the Grizzlies here.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: This trade, the Desmond Bayin trade, was an announcement. We
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: are out of business in terms of trying to win.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: We're done. The barbecue's good, the basketball not so much.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You've got a new coach who took over late in
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the season last year in Memphis. And that new coach,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: let's call it what it is here, is an entry
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: level coach. You hired an entry level coach. You traded
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the number two player on the team Desmond, Maine for
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: some scratcher tickets, and they're not even good scratcher tickets.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: So you did that, and so who's next? Ja Morant?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: The logical move is Ja Morant. He still has superstar value.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: And when he's right, he's poetry in motion running around
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: the court and all that stuff, and the catches. It's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: kind of a big catch, right. Everything No one's traded
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: do is perfect. Everyone's got issues. So he's not on
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the court enough because he's always heard and if he's
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: not heard, he's getting suspended for something stupid. And he's
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: done it for years. And from what we've heard, the
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Grizzlies Decriaz. They want to be the spitting image of Okay. See,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: this is a copycat move. That is what we're hearing here.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: That Memphis is like, well, Oklahoma City's in the NBA
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Finals and they're the favorite to win the championship, and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: they did this. They traded all these guys away and
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they just got a bunch of draft picks, and we're
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: going to copy them. We're in a similar market, Memphis
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma City, and why not. We're just one of
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: these flyover teams. That's what we're gonna do. And so
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: we got four first round picks unprotected for Desmond Main,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: We'll get another three or four first round picks for
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: John Moran. We'll have like eight first round picks. We'll
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: be set up and then we're gonna pick all the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: right players and we're going to be the new OKC.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Period stop. And then they wake up and they realize
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the chances of getting the picks right. Good luck. And also,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: let's not pretend like the key part of the OKAC
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: thunder is not a player they drafted. It's a player
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that Clippers drafted in SGA. That's the reason the thunder
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: is so good. It's not the players they drafted, it's
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the the MVP of the league is a guy the
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Clippers drafted, so they didn't even draft an MVP in
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: ok See. They got him in a trade. But Memphis
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: is trying to copy that blueprint and they're just gonna
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: load up draft picks, put a blindfold on and throw
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: darts and whatever name comes up, Boom, there you go. Meanwhile,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: John Moran, where's he gonna end up? Where's he going now?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: The early favorite I've heard is Miami, and Miami's trying
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: to desperately get a headliner, and Tyler Hero is not
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: that guy. You're not that guy, Palp, You're not that guy.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: So John Moran Miami, that makes some sense, and he's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: like Philadelphia somewhere like that, the usual suspects outside of Miami,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: which is also a usual suspect. The argument is that
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: John Moran has a change of scenery, although I don't
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: know how. If you're getting into trouble in Memphis, wouldn't
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: you get into more trouble than Miami? Isn't that a
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: town built on trouble? Like if you're looking now? Of course,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the argument is, if you're looking for trouble, you're gonna
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: find it no matter where you are, right Brett Farv
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: had issues. Brett Farav had problems in uh, you know, Atlanta.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: They traded him to Green Bay. He still had some
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: issues when he got to Green Bay years ago. So
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: maybe I'll grow up, John Morant, new coach, new city,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: some accountability. I wouldn't hold my breath right. Maybe is
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: a weasel word. May be a weasel word, big weasel word.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Verbal equivalent of half hearted shrug, like I don't know,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You say maybe, so just a little
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: bit of commitment, but not full commitment. You're dodging full
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: responsibility and you have plausible deniability.

  Speaker 1: everyone is buzzing about, and that is the trade that
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: has rocked the Baseball World, the Giants have acquired infielder
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Rafael Devers from the Red Sox for a bunch of slop,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: a bunch of slop, and so the Giants have picked
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: up a left handed power option middle lineup, a guy
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: with a bad attitude and a big contract. But he's
• 32:53
