  Speaker 2: the Nets were also involved. Also, how do you process
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the Celtic fans celebrating cap relief.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: From the unicorn trade?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: In addition, does it surprise you that the mav Rex
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: are forking over a three year contract for Kyrie Irving
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: even though he's not gonna be able to play anytime
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: soon because of a shredded knee.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about all that and more right now.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Buckle up, buccaroo, it's our number one.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I was told when I was a kid that unicorns
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: aren't real? So how could the Celtics trade the unicorn?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And let's what you can't do? That they don't exist.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: It's impossible, but apparently it's happened. Well, dumb. In the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: beginning of another night of the Ben Mahlor Show, we.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Are in the air Amy.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Where dribbling on the chatterbox chamber. If you will coast
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and massively powerful microphones of fs are ammundating live do
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: it live from the tapestry, just a thread in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: audio tapestry of life the Fox Sports Radio studios as
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: approved by Big Greg and Iowa. This portion of the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Ben Malor Show made possible in part by our friends
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: at ti Iraq.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: For over forty years.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: options like mobile tire installation, Tire Act, dot Com Away
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Tire Buying show me. So our lead this hour is
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: from the I'd say the calm before the storm. That
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: would not be accurate. That would not be accurate. That'd
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: be an incorrect statement because the NBA Draft. This is
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: our Wednesday show, still late Tuesday on the West coast,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: but we're heading in to the day of the draft
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and not all was quiet in the land.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Pro bouncy ball and oh boy, so exciting.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it is draft day and Wednesday night there in Brooklyn,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: just across the Brooklyn Bridge, down a couple of streets
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and then a couple more streets and then you turn
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: right and then a left and boom, right there you're
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in this big place where they have the draft and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. So the Mavericks are on the clock
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: better known as the mav Rex and they're going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: draft Cooper Flag and less and less, their GM is
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: told he has to trade that pick, and then that
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: would be a big story. But Cooper Flag expected to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: be the number one overall pick. So it's a big
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: week for the transaction wire. For reference, though I said,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: not all quiet.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: In the land.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: We had the dismantling of the once proud Boston Celtics
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: continuing the super team. Remember when they won the championship
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, it was, oh man, this
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: team is set up for years to come. They are
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: so explosive. They have an amazing amount of depth on
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: this team. Well not anymore so. One day after they
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: said bye bye to the holiday as they sent Drew
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Holliday to basketball purgatory with the Trailblazers. The deals that
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: kept coming, the Green team, which is ironically making trades
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: because of Green, because of Green, And if.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: You have not been following along here, maybe not.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: We've learned that Chris Stops Porzingis, affectionately known as the Unicorn,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: has been traded Bye bye, as he's going to the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: atl He'll enjoy magic city there in the Atlanta Hawks
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: have acquired a unicorn, how magical, along with a second
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: round pick, part of a three team trade, not a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: mega trade, not a mega trade, but a three team trade.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So it's a Portzingis No. There will be a test
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: on this coming up in a moment. So Porzingis has
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: been traded to the Hawks along with a second round pick,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and then Terrence Man. There goes that man, a former Clipper,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Terrence Man. He goes from Atlanta and the number twenty
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: two pick in the draft, which is tonight to the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Nets for someone named Georges Niang who goes to Boston
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and a second round pick. That is what the Celtics
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: got for Porzingis. So let us discuss the question who
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: got the better of this three team Chris tops Porzingis trade.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: He's the headliner, so he's the one people know who
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: he is, so will use him in the description.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So who got the best or better if.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You will, of the three team Christaps Porzingi's trade?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: My thoughts on this.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I've got a pringles can, midway and dashboard, and we
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we are
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: going to make the babaganoosh. We're gonna make the babaosh now.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: A to answer the question, who got the better of
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: this particular transaction, is it A the Celtics, b the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks see.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: The nets one of those options?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: How about answer D None of the above, None of
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the above right now if you had to force me
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: gun to the head to pick a team, because why not,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: You're really gonna threaten someone's life over this trade. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: if that's the case, man I trying to make sense
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of this zingis he goes to Atlanta. This is not
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: really a trade, because a trade you're doing quid pro quota.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You get something, you get something, you get some that's
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: not it. This is more like a yard sale where
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you're giving away. You have this vintage leather recliner. The
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: leather is kind of worn out a little bit, but
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: it's like your favorite chair. You're giving it away and
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: because your wife forced you to get rid of it,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and you're getting in return a half eaten pringles can.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: And that's what you're getting. You're giving your favorite chair
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: away and that's it. It's slop for garbage. So slop
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: for garbage. That's the trade. And on the mall of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: report card, the Atlanta Hawks get a CEUs A C
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: minus for the Atlanta Hawks, the Nets get the D
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and I give the Celtics of d aulsa.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I give the Celtics of d alsa.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: So the edge is to Atlanta, but only because they
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: got the one guy we've heard of in Porzingis in
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: this trade. When he is upright, which is very rare.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Porzingis is not upright very often. When he is upright,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: he's pretty good. He's pretty good player when he's upright
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: for the thirty games a year that he plays and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So you got that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And he can stretch the floorest when he did in
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Boston when he played when they won the championship, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you can protect the rim occasionally when he decides to
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: play some defense. And it was a good fit with
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown in Boston. Allowed them to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: do their thing and did not impede what they were doing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And so that's the rub. The unicorn, as he has known,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the unicorn. The medical chart, if you look at it.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: It's literally longer than those CBS receipts, Like have you
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: ever checked out back in the day and CBS they
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: used to print out these massive, massive proceeds. Now on
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Q on que porzingis his final act as a Boston Celtic.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Was this mysterious post viral syndrome thinga majig, the what
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: you McCall it? They didn't know what it was and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: all that stuff? Was it long covid? Was it the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: creeping crud? Was it something else? Nobody seems to know.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: But he could play sometimes and they couldn't.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Play other times. And remember one of those.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Playoff games when he got all bloody I think it
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: was against the Knicks and looked like a boxer that
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: was a tomato can. And then he came back into
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the game and he had a big bandage on his
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: forehead and all that stuff. But anyway, that's porsaic because
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: he goes to Atlanta. Now, the other part of this,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: as we do our frame by frame breakdown on the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Ben Maler Show, so how do you process the part
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of this which is really surprising that shouldn't be surprising.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: It would have been surprising ten years ago, fifteen years
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: ago twenty years ago in misurpresing. But how do you
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: process the Celtic supporters, the Marching and Chawter Society of
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics, who seemed to be celebrating the cap belief,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the cap relief from the porzingis trade. So this is
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: one of those things why I don't get it. I
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: didn't grow up in that era where you celebrate this.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I don't understand that mindset. To me, that is ridoculous.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe you can explain it to me. I look at
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: it like a trip to the circus Circus Midway. It's
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a funhouse of mirrors, is what it is. Right, you
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: throw a parade and let it gets right. So you're happy.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: You're excited because your team.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Which you don't work for. You're just an outside observer.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: It's not like you're on the payroll and you get
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: more money because the owner has more money. But you're
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: happy because the Celtics ducked the second apron. So I
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: guess like being at a kitchen and you have a
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: lot of aprons, and so they ducked the second apron.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So this is what the Boston fan base has become
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: that they feel this is a giant win because their
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: owner saves some money.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And I have no skin in the game. This may
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: me want to puke in my mouth, is what this is.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, will come on, you talk about some kind
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: of warped distorted.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Like that. That's your reality. I mean, that's your representation
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: of reality.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Like this is a great thing. You know, you're gonna
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: pump your fist in the air everywhere because of luxury
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: tax avoidance, Like you got nothing in the trade. I mean,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: he just present as you gave him away, so always hurt,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that's fine, but you've got nothing for him. And he
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: was when he played, a pretty good player for you.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: And you're all horny because the Celtics. The the nerds cooked
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: up the numbers here and they said, well, the payroll
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: and tax for the new incoming Celtic ownership there, it's
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: down from five hundred and twelve million to two hundred
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and seventy four million, and so they said.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: That's a big thing. Now. That means the two.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Trades, the holiday trade and the Unicorn trade, saved the
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Celtics about two hundred and thirty eight million. The ownership
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: of the Celtics two hundred and ten million coming from
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: purely tax penalties. So again, if you're the owner of
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the Celtics and you're excited, that's great.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I get it. If you work for the team, more
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: money for the owner, maybe that money will.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Come to me.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: If you're not an employee and you don't own the team,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I don't understand the dynamic.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I really I don't get it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Like, if your biggest offseason transaction is that, hey, we
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: saved two hundred and ten million in tax penalty as
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: a fan, like, how does that help you?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I don't I really don't get it. Right, congratulations, way
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to go, we save some tax money. The team is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: plausibly worse, but you saved some tax money and a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: way to go.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I's like you're sharing for a hedge fund, not so
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: much a basketball team at that part. To the point,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: but what do I know? So the Celtics appear to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: be now that Tatum's hurt. They have the green light
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: of Tatum. They would have done this likely even if
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Tatum hadn't gotten hurt, because they were gonna lose in
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the necks anyway.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: However they did. In this part of the multiverse, they did.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: So the Celtics are like empty nesters without Jason Tatum
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the Achilles injury, and so they have decided now they
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: are going to downsize to a little casa, a little
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: coss out in the in the woods. And that's what
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: they're doing. They're downsizing. And the fans are applauding, or
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: at least some of them are applauding this because the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: owners save some dough. It's like, wowie Cauzawi here, what
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: are you doing here? It's it's not basketball bookkeeping. It's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: like as a team, but no, it team's not better.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: But we save some money. Okay, but is the team?
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Have you improved the team? No, we haven't improved teams
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: not but we save some money. Okay.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Are they gonna have a Bobblehead Night with a bag
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: of money that bobbles and be like, hey, this is
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the money that we save. We would have had to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: pay the Twitter ten million. It's a special promotion for
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the Celtics. It's it's money bobble Knight, Taxi Uncle Sam,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Bobblehead or whatever. Anyway, all right, now the last word
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to Dallas, we go. Now the mav Rex are on
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the clock. They have the top pick in the draft.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: The Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving declined.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: His contract option.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: You see this turned down forty three million dollars, said
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: x nay on the money. A Instead, he opted out
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and then said all right, Psych, I'll stay. And so
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the Mavericks, because they don't know what they're doing, they
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: gave Kyrie Irving a three year contract extension for one
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen million dollars one hundred and nineteen million dollars.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: The deal includes a player option for twenty twenty seven
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, so a couple of years.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Down the line.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Now, Irving is what's known as DG damaged goods.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He's damaged goods.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: He tore his ACL Snapcrackle pop back in March, and
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: so he's damaged.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Does it surprise you? Here's the question.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Does it surprise you that the mav Res and the
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: great Nico Harrison have forked over this kind of contract
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: to Kyrie Irving? So I'm gonna nod my head yes,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: realizing we're talking about Nico Harrison, I'm going to nod
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: my head.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Dallas did not just double down. They didn't just double
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: down on this. They tripled down, and then they slipped
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: a disc in their back. While doing it with Kyrie IRV.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: It's the only way describe it here. Acls are supposed
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: to be the flashing check engine light on the dashboard
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: of the car, right, Like, if you take a car
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: for a and the dashboard light comes on, there's a
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: problem with the engine. Do you still buy the car?
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: That's a car already they knew there was a problem,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and they said, Okay, we want the car. We'll pay.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: In fact, we'll pay a premium price for the car.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: That's what we'll do. I know, the check engine light
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: is flashing on the dashboard. We want the car, so
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: we'll still pay for the car. So normally that doesn't happen.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: At least it used to not happen. I know what
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: happens quite a bit now, especially in basketball. Guys are hurt.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: They still sign these massive, massive contracts. But the Mavericks
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that they see torn ligament in the knee and they're like,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: all right, how fast can we grab the check book?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Here you go blank check, knock yourself out. And so
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Kyrie's got the double whammy against him. Strike one is
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the shredded ligaments in the knee, so he's got that
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: going for him. He's also thirty three, which in the
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: real world is not old, but in the sporting world,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: your athletic prime ends at age thirty two. So using Malermath,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: if you're thirty three, you're past your athletic prime. He's
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: garon tea to miss irving most of the almost all
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the first half of this upcoming season. Assuming there are
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: no bugaboos with his comeback, he's gonna be out until
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: at least January.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: So forget about October, November, all those Monday in December
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: see you later out So he could come back sometime
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: in January of twenty twenty six. His knees have over
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the years put.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Up more dnps than conspiracy theories, which it was neck
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: and neck.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: He's toned down.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he's still into the wacky conspiracy theories, but
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: he's not talking about them as much anymore.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And so here we are.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Here we are watching the Nico Harrison, who somehow kept
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: his job as the Maverick executive the Harrison Experience, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: he signs a deal with the Mavericks Kyrie like he's
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: like Nico Harrison's buying beachfront property in a resort in Hawaii,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and really it's like a rundown shack. It's got some
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: miles on It needs more than just paint, more than
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: cosmetic At this point, now, when Kyrie has played plays
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: often like it's poetry, it's a problem. Look, he didn't
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: play very much another one of these guys, a lot
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: of mileage, and the injury charts are rather large there
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: for him as well. And so it ain't my problem.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not a maverick guy. That's guys like Charlie in
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Dallas and those guys. That's their problem.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Ain't my problem. All right, If you would like to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: be part of this the talk radio.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Hack, the easiest time to get in is at the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: very start of the show, and then he gets progressively worse,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and then it'll be impossible to get in.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: You will have no chance getting in right now. You
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: got a decent shot, can give you about two fifty
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: batting average right now.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Later on it'll be about one thirteen. So if you
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: want in on this eight seven set, now listen. You
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: do not need to call. We have plenty of content,
• 18:13

• 18:15
  Speaker 2: entire week.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Here the show continue here. We didn't miss a beat.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: In fact, I got emails from people saying, I hope
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: the phones go down again.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: The callers suck, They're terrible. Why do you even take them?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: So people cheering for the phones to break, but we
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: do take some calls to change it up. You have
• 18:30

  Speaker 2: second shift and you just stand up late flutching around
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: playing video games and enjoying the quietness of the night,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: or if you've got the creeping crud and you're just
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: kind of hanging out because you can't sleep. It's called insomnia.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Might be medically might be medically induced insomnia, but it's
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: insomnia either way. You can be part of the show,
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: or you can just hide and not be part of

  Speaker 2: the show and just sit there and do nothing like
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: most people do.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: But if you want to be part of it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox, also on X
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: at Ben Malor, that's at Ben Mahlor and say hello
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: to Lorraine, the FSR tech Queen can do that. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: in the producer's chair we have Ian Roddy who's here
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: and he's got an underscore. I believe I have the
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: correct account here he's got he doesn't follow Ben Mallor,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: but Ian Roddy who does not follow Ben Mallor, but
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: he has a Twitter account. Ian Roddy Underscore got to
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: get rid of you. You've got to get rid of
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the underscore. It's very important to get rid of the underscore,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: very important. People do not know what an underscore is.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: But that's Ian Roddy underscore.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: There.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: He's on ax. You can sell to him.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: He's in the producer's chair right now. And now back
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to the show, back to when we go. As we're
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: breaking down this NBA trading season. There should be a
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: couple more trades today. And we've got the ring ring
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: text text, ring ring text text. We'll get to that
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: coming up here in a moment. Milkman Mike from Colorado,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: right sin, he says, excellent the.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Sound of him work right there. Excellent opening monologue.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Though NBA trades are interesting, nothing tops the Mallard militia
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: trade that just went down. As blind Scott and Marcel
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: have been traded to Afghanistan for a goat?
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Is that a goat to be named later? What about
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Blair and Maine? Did we toss Blair in there? How
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: about Dick and Dayon? Now some people saying that we
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: did trade Angry Bill, who used to call the show
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden stopped calling show. I hope
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Angry Bill's Okay, I had some medical problems.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened Angry, but I got an email.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Why are you putting Angry Bill on you? Because he
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: gave you a hard time. I didn't stop Angry Bill
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: from calling the show number one, number two, he stopped calling.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. We're not so sweet. I
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: hope he calls back. He's not sweet at all. He's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a dick, and.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Dayton is what he is. He's not sweet at all.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: He's a schmuck, but he's he's, you know, typical New
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Jersey guy. He's a schmuck, and we you know, he's
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: unique because there's not that many schmucks. Well actually are
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of schmucks, but he's different than the other
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: schmucks that call the show.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: You see. That's that's the thing there. So anyway, we've
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: not banned him.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: We didn't Mark the full name guy. He had a breakdown.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: He couldn't handle the show. There's a lot of pressure
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: being a talk radio caller, and if you've never done it,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and if you're a star caller, there's a lot of expectations,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: and Mark, he just got too old.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: He couldn't handle the pressure of it, and so he quit.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And you know that was unfortunate.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Marked the full name guy who had some good maments
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: on the show, but it became too much. He could
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: not handle it, and he went to the corner and
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: started sucking his thumb in the feed up position.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: So that was it. It's unfortunate. What else do we have?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Let's see here, Terry in England says Malor's Daily List
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: about I'm not a list, Terry's. That is called a rundown.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: That is a teaser, and that allows you a little
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: taste of what may be coming up on X. And
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: that's all that is. Bagel Boy writes and says Nico
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Harrison is a moron and this further proves it. Cooper
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Flag better take charge quick, moron.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Spox Weed writes in from the Oregon Trail and says,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: so Ben emphasizes that Boston's main objective was a hedge
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: fund saving money, Yet no mention of spreadsheets.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: What's up with that?
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Spox Weed says itunian for bloviating spreadsheet talk. I'm sorry
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: to have disappointed you, Spoxwed. And I did not say
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the Celtics road vomit comet. I did not mention that
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: either that did not come up, so put that in
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: your pipe and smoking.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: What else do we have to see?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Page down and we'll skip over that one. Super Marcus
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Steve says, what is the NBA's version of Siberia. It
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: has to be a bad team in a lame city.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: And then he's got four options. He's got the an
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: He misspelled Charlotte, which is a bad job by him.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: That's come on, you should know how to spell Charlotte.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: It's also some women are named.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Charlotte charrolette or is it Charlotte charro lette? Is how
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: he spelled two teas in the end?
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's how he spelled it, he says, corn super Markets.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Stevie says the basketball Siberia, Charlotte Hornets, Sacramento Kings, Portland Trailblazers,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Utah Jazz. So to me, there's only one answer here,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: and that is the the Utah Jazz, unless you like
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the great outdoors at Utah's. They're Portland's close behind, but
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Utah at the time, Like say you're playing Sacramento, you're
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: a short, relatively short drive away. You're in the Bay
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: area in San Francisco. There's a lot going on, it's
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the next city over and Charlotte. Yes, it's kind of
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: slow and all that team sucks, but it's not. It's
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: not a terrible place to reside. So I would say, uh,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: and that that does seem like a list supermarket Steve.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: But and I'm gonna speak for all NBA players. I
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: got the.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Utah Jazz at the very top, and they are in
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: number one with a bullet and then the Portland Trail
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: legend right after that, right after.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: That, Yes, ferg dog rights.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Since it's the big question whenever a producer fills in
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: for Coop is where does Emmett have them ranked on
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: his big board of FSR producers.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I do not know. Emitt is not on the board here,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: So if Emmett calls in, I know he's a busy
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: podcasting blind Emmett. Uh, We're not sure where he has
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Ian on the on the board.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I think Ian's downgraded for not following the Ben Malor
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: account on Twitter. I think that's a clear downgrade. So
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to ENnie Meenie, Miney,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Moe Jed who fled is hanging out and he is
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: up first there Deep I'd say, deep in the heart
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: of Florida, but he's in the.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Panhandle, in the redneck Riviera. Hello, Jed, who fled?
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: I'm right in the throw to Florida. It does not
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: bode well for Ian that some sort of training wheels
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: were put on and someone I know who, but someone
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: answers the phone before him and then came on, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: then he came home, which is a very very rare
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: curren So I was like, sort of like swimmy is
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: what that felt like? Ian's I got faith in you.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: To do it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you already critique? You believe like Ian's
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: off to a bad start here.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: You think that Ian made an early mistake here, like
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: a pitcher giving up a run in the first inning, well.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: The first, the first the first hello, but then but
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: again it sounded golden. So I'm not sure. I don't
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: know what it's exactly what to say about it, because
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: it could be a golden boy.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know who would pick up the phone. I
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: would never do that. I'm the host of the show.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I would never pick that. I would never pick up
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the phone because that's below me. I would never talk
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: to the unwashed. It's bad enough. I ever talked to
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you on the air, My god, off the air?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: What me me?
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Either?
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: Did I I was what if?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: What if?
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: He answers the phone twice and some.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Sort of stuff refuse like double seven moves answer.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: So I don't know why we do that, but he'd
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: have as must time more than as I do. Anyway, Well,
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, why don't they ever say, like, al if
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: these players miss extended periods of times for back pain
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: or you know, it's just sort of cananigans like a
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: torn crucier ligament. I don't ever see like absess tooth. Me,
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: mouth pain is the worst pain, dude. I've been covering
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: for an absess tooth. Oh my god, dude, oh my god.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: What you mean?
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: What do you think about that?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: What do I what do you want? You want me
• 27:58

  Speaker 5: make me look well.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't have any dental but you take so many pharmaceuticals.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't have any dental problems because you just kill
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: anything in your mouth.

  Speaker 2: the start of the show about forty minutes and nineteen
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: seconds ago. In nineteen seconds ago. So for thirty eight
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: minutes and whatever seconds, no follow. So and and that's
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: a shame follow. That's a pity follow. That's not a
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: legit the show follow. That's a Hey, I'm being forced
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: to follow this this old guy. And I don't want
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: to follow him because I don't like him, but I'm
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: being forced to follow him because I'm working on the show.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: That's what that was is that true Ian. Now I'm
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: gonna plead the fed. Oh he's smiling though, See that
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: he's smiling. You see that? There you go.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Eugene in Chicago rights and says, rundown, Right, this is
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: a I have a list. It is not a list.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: It looks nothing like a list. It is not. It
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: is a series of hot takes. Previewing hot takes is
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: what it is. For example, Ring Ring text text, there
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: are reports here in the overnight that the phone lines
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: are burning up in Boston. The text messages, oh man,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: it's gone viral. The Celtics getting offers up the yin
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Yang for both Jalen Brown and Derek White. Will they
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: do the unthinkable, the automatic where they fully break down
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: the roster and do a full reset and trade both
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Derek White and Jalen Brown to save a couple of shekels?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Will they make those moves and tank to the old
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: we call it the old San Antonio.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: The Spurs would do that.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: They would win a championship, and then all of a sudden,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: someone's back would go out and they'd tank, and they'd
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: get a top pick, and then they'd be back and
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: get another great player.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: And that's how they would do it, so stay tuned.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: They said, well, the preference of the Celtics is to
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: keep both players. Well, if that's the preference, you don't
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: return the text messages and you don't answer the calls,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and then you don't have to worry about being tempted.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Temptation island to trade either one of the players. It's
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: that simple. Let's go to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: What's going on? Ben It It's good to be with
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: you now.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Andre, Be careful.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I think you might be traded next Andreltics are looking
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to unload you. You may be going to the San
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Antonio Spurs, so be careful.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: If it has to be that way, it has to
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: be the win, and I'll be happy because you know
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: this true holiday situation.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: I've been clear on this.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: I think the Celtics they needed to keep the core
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: four together. That's holiday that Derek White, Jason Tatum and
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brown. Chrispy p Porzingis, you know, appreciate him and
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: what he did, but if you had to kind of
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: work with the salary cap and the second apron, all
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: this nonsense we're haiting about the second apron. I think
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Chrispy p would be the way to go. But for
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: them to start.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Off with trading true holiday.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's just over. Okay, the dynastic window all that,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: it's over.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: It's over.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: HOLI say, can you put that out on the official
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: the official account of Fox Sports Radio that this is
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: from a source close to the Celtics. How many Celtic
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: games have you watched over the heres Andre hundreds? This
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: guy's an insider source close to the Celtics reports it's
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: over headline developing hot dot died right.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: All right, Ben, Okay, you know what I mean. I'm
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: coming from the awesome eighties. Me and Willis are out
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: here again. He's getting get in some fresh air.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: You remember the lass you go in. So it's eighty
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: degrees right now? Is that what you're saying.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: It's like he's got the heat weight. Then it's a
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: beautiful thing.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Not a heat wave.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: That's old school. You're dating yourself. It's a heat dome,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: now have you noticed no longer heatwave? When we were kids,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: it was called heaway, But now it's a heat dome,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: the dome.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: And the Willis is out here. He's moving and grove
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: and he's been inside you know, because I had to
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: rant and rave about the miscarriage of justice that that
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: that's been taking place with the Celtics organization. But the
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: ac is inside, so where we're doing good. But the
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: bottom line is a spense. Listen to talk about the
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: second apron. I don't have any time for it, because,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: first of all, when you brought you holiday in, when
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: you were gifted drew holiday from the Portland trail Blazers
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: because they wouldn't deal with the Miami Heat because Cronin
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: and Riley were at odds. Why did you sign into
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: a four year deal? If you're so concerned about the
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: second aprin, you could have signed into a two year deal.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Because let's remember when Lebron went back to Cleveland. What
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: did he sign a succession of two year deals? So
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: we can come in to free agen, come back into
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: free agency and give them some caps flexibility. So it
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: makes no sense. I'll make another point here. When the
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: ownership group changed hand, what Grossbrecks say. He said he
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: was going to stay on and he was going to
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: take care of Team Opera.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: It was it was gonna be well, well, he wanted
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: to stay on because he's an egomaniac Wick and he
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: wants everyone to know who he is. And if you're
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: not running the Celtics, somebody knows who you are, nobody
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: cares about you. But it seems to me and I
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: had a program director like this in radio. I never
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: got one of these deals, but he knew he was
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: on his way out and he gave massive contracts to
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: his friends. It's like the Celtics, like, listen, these guys
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: helped them win a championship. We'll give everyone a big
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: contract then eventually left unload everybody, but we'll reward them
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: for the championship.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: And then the Holiday guy, I think he got a.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Last before the season, right, I think he signed the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: extension and he's already been traded.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: So there you go, all right, so wonderful. So you
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: put yourself in the same situation as the Dallas Mavericks
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: who went to the NBA Finals and then decided to
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: destore their team. And then we'll get the number two picks,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: the number one overall pick by the NBA to see
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: if they can get it right.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Willis does.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: He's up and arms as well. So it just doesn't
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: make any sense. And you want to talk about this,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: there's ways to put a gun over the second apron,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: and then then you win a championship, You're getting that
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: money in perpetuity. I will go spend fifty dollars in
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six Boston Celtics T shirt tomorrow, okay, just
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: because it needs something. So they had a team that
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: was built to win champions all this whole We're gonna
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: bring in Anthony Simon. It's just genuflecting. Okay, it's you know.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: Will He's furious about it, and I'm furious about it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: So I can tell.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I can hear Willis breathing heavily as clearly this is
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: a very upsetting story for Willis, and I gotta let
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: you go on that. I'm up against a hard networkout
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: andres as you understand, so I must hang up on you.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: But be safe out there. Enjoy the heat Dome. So
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: watching some of the baseball games and everyone's freaking out.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it's like it's June, it's hot. Can
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: you believe it never ever gets hot in June or
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: July or August or September. This is amazing anyway, It
