The Mets lose their star player. They lose their star closer.
0:04
The Mets are in a bad spot right now.
0:12
I've never seen a Ranger team quick before the Olympics.
0:15
We're going to be looking at Aaron Judge and saying that he
0:17
can't win the big game, Michael Jordan said.
0:20
I played 82 games. You don't see the one doing
0:23
that, but Jack Hughes did. After getting his team knocked
0:25
down to play every single shift, he got back in the game.
0:30
I'm going to fight him off. I said the question how he
0:34
couldn't hold me back. They're going to RIP it off,
0:39
take it back. This kid go on Black best
0:43
defense and I'm talking. To myself because I can't go.
0:49
There. Hello, Hello.
1:29

They call me the mouth. My Co host Mr. Quinton Couples
1:54
and Speedy PD executive producer Mr. Aaron Fish Fishman in the

2:24
com. Tonight on New York sports
2:27
loudmouth, we got the NBA trying to stop tanking with A321 system
2:33
like they're hosting a New Year's Eve countdown in Times
2:37
Square. Meanwhile, half the league
2:40
already tanked harder than my cholesterol after a Long Island
2:44
deli run at 2:00 AM in the morning.
2:47
The Knicks are out here making grown men cry on national
2:51
television. Bronson is playing basketball
2:54
ball like somebody stole his parking spot.
2:57
And the Sixers, yes, the Sixers. Somebody file a missing person
3:02
report because that team disappeared faster than a Mets
3:05
lead in July. And can somebody explain to me
3:10
how pitchers are throwing 103 mph now?
3:13
Back in the day, if you threw 103, they checked if you were
3:18
part of a Cyborg. Now every kid comes out of the
3:21
bullpen looking like they were built in a laboratory under Area
3:27
51. Five years from now, Tommy John
3:30
surgery is going to have a rewards program.
3:34
Congratulations, your 10th ligament replacement is free.
3:38
Plus, Giannis rumors are everywhere.
3:41
Every fan base thinks they're getting him.
3:43
The Knicks fans already photoshopped him in orange and
3:46
blue, The Celtic fans are talking trade, and the Heat fans
3:50
standing outside South Beach with candles.
3:53
Meanwhile, Milwaukee fans are looking like somebody just
3:55
canceled Christmas and Trevor Bauer.
3:58
Yes, Trevor Bauer keeps dominating while baseball acts
4:04
like he's Valdemar. The man strikes out 15 guys in
4:07
the MLB, reacts like somebody mentioned him three times in a
4:11
mirror. Ladies and gentlemen, this is
4:13
the New York sports loudmouth where the takes are loud, the
4:17
jokes are reckless and the sports world gets roasted harder
4:21
than a BBQ season on Long Island.
4:24
I'm Errol Marx, and if you're soft, sensitive or a
4:28
Philadelphia fan, this might be a rough night for you.
4:31
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a crazy one.
4:34
I've been sick for over 48 hours.
4:37
At last show on Monday, there was a lot of screaming and a lot
4:41
of yelling. I scratched my voice box and
4:44
what that happens when that happens with me, a lot of things
4:47
happen. What happens is I start to
4:51
sneeze, I start to get a cold. It's very weird.
4:54
It doesn't make any sense. And I do have my tonsils.
4:58
So I got sick and me and Quentin went back and forth.
5:02
And that's what usually happens on the show.
5:04
It is a crazy, crazy show. And sometimes because I have a
5:08
very unique raspy voice, I can scratch my voice, but I'm here.
5:14
I'm going to make sure that I'm going to fight through this
5:17
tonight. I had 100.8 fever on Tuesday.
5:21
That's how sick I was. And I don't know, it always
5:24
happens to me at this time of year.
5:26
I, I don't like the pollen, I don't like my allergies, but it
5:30
happens to me. But I'm here, I make sure I
5:33
fight through this and I'm going to fight through this for all
5:35
the fans tonight, all the fans that know how I am and how crazy
5:39
I am. I'm going to try to keep my
5:41
voice tamed so I don't crush it because there is sometimes I get
5:47
too loud and I hit a note that I just completely kill my voice.
5:51
But Quentin, how are you? I know you were working
5:54
yesterday, you had some business meetings.
5:57
How are you my friend? I'm doing well, doing well, man.
6:00
I had a little technical difficulties getting on tonight,
6:03
but I changed my location, changed my scenery, spiked up a
6:06
little bit, you know, So you know, we just rolling with the
6:11
bunches, as they say. You're looking sexy.
6:13
I mean, all the women think you're sexy.
6:15
I don't want to. I don't want to get you in
6:17
trouble because your wife's probably watching.
6:19
So I'll keep it calm and collective tonight.
6:22
Not throw him under the bus, even though it seems like I
6:24
always do that. ESPN reports that the
6:28
Philadelphia 76ers have fired President Basketball of
6:32
basketball operations Daryl Morey after six years with the
6:37
team. Nick Nurse will remain the 76ers
6:40
head coach for his fourth season with the team, believing they
6:44
won't be a better coach. There won't be a better coach
6:46
than him available in the offseason.
6:48
Former Warriors general manager Bob Myers, who is now the
6:52
president of Harris and Blitzer Sports and Entertainment that is
6:58
Co owned by Sixers owner Josh Harris, will now leave the
7:03
search for the next president. Myers will oversee the
7:07
basketball operations and will have some influence on the
7:10
decisions made by whoever the new president of the
7:15
organization is. Reports say that Morey's
7:17
decision to trade for Jerry McCain to the Thunder this
7:22
season clubbed Joel Embiid and several of the players the wrong
7:27
way. Trading for James Harden and
7:31
only keeping him for about a year and signing Paul George to
7:35
a Max contract where 2 where two other moves that obviously made
7:42
him fishing a little fish hanging.
7:46
But anyways, the 76ers were 220 and 200 and 22112 in the regular
7:52
season with Maury as the president, but just 28 and 26 in
7:56
the playoffs and never making it past the second round.
8:01
Now the story is and I, I, I know Joel Embi runs this league.
8:06
I, I'm, I'm sorry, not even runs this league runs this team.
8:09
It's no LeBron James's league, and it's the LJA.
8:12
We call it the LJA because it's a LeBron James association.
8:16
But this man is a flop. He flops.
8:19
A lot of people can't stand him, and he's flopped for the 76ers.
8:23
Every time the 76ers are on the cusp of making the Eastern
8:27
Conference Finals, they choke. They choke or they bump into a
8:32
team that's just that much better than they are.
8:36
They beat the Celtics. They came back from A31 deficit.
8:39
And you can give Joel Embiid a lot of credit for that.
8:42
A lot of credit coming back on an injury.
8:44
Shouldn't have played. He had many different injuries
8:47
all season long. The guy cannot stay healthy.
8:49
His knee problems, he's got foot problems, he's got ankle
8:51
problems, he's got thumb and his ass problems.
8:54
Everything about Joel Embiid would make you think he's a
8:59
moron, and I think he's a moron. I think every 76er fan probably
9:04
thinks he's a moron because I don't know if anybody watched
9:08
Game 4 after the Knicks wiped them out.
9:11
I mean wiped them out of their arena and the fans packed out.
9:15
The 76ers executives were trying to give away tickets to get the
9:19
76ers fans in there to blow out the Knicks fans.
9:22
It never happened, by the way, as the Knicks swept them after a
9:27
minute went by. At the end of the game, you see
9:31
Joel Embiid holding his son. Not upset, not walking off or
9:38
showing his disinterest on the Knicks winning.
9:41
No, he's holding his son. Don't worry.
9:44
And you can read his. We'll get him next year.
9:47
Get what next year? The 76ers are an old bunch of
9:50
guys now they have Edgecomb. He, he looks like he's going to
9:53
be a fun kid to watch. And his growth and his
9:56
development will be very, very important to this organization's
9:59
growth in the future. But here's the problem.
10:03
Tyrese Maxi is going to be a free agent in the next year and
10:06
a half. Does he want to come back?
10:10
Does he want to come back to this organization?
10:12
That's an absolute joke. Paul George is still there with
10:15
a Max contract until until 2028. He got caught with steroids.
10:20
He missed 20 something games, He got suspended, came back for the
10:24
playoffs, did nothing in the playoffs.
10:26
I'm sorry. When you're making that kind of
10:28
money, you should be showing up and playing at a high level.
10:31
Paul George is not the same Paul George he once was.
10:35
And Joel Embiid, who's been fighting injury since five years
10:39
ago. The guy can't stay healthy.
10:41
He's got knee problems. Like I was saying, he's a
10:44
wipeout. Everything about this team, this
10:48
76er team, comes back to Daryl Morey, who's built this team.
10:54
Think about it. If you look at this team from
10:56
Paul George to Joel Embiid, he extended Joel Embiid.
11:00
He's the one who gave him that Max contract.
11:03
He's the one who made that trade to bring James Harden in and
11:06
then doesn't keep him for more than a year.
11:08
James Harden never wanted to be there.
11:11
James Harden never wanted to be there.
11:14
So the consolation prize was, you know what we're going to do?
11:17
We're going to change. We're going to trade James
11:19
Harden for Paul George. That's what we're going to do.
11:22
We're going to bring Paul George in and trade James Harden.
11:26
Now, I'm not saying James Harden is what he was or I don't even
11:31
know what he is because he doesn't show up in the play
11:32
offs. Go ask the Cavaliers.
11:36
But the fact here is when you look at this organization and
11:42
the 76ers organization that's had how many top end picks?
11:47
Nerlens Noel, remember him? Owens.
11:50
Noel was a pretty good player. There's a guy that is, I don't
11:54
know where he's playing anymore, but he was the number one pick
11:58
or #2 I forget his name, LSU guy, Speedy, who am I speaking?
12:02
You're talking about the guy that loves to wear rich fashion
12:06
on the sideline and play 10 games a year.
12:07
And buy beautiful cars. You know what I'm talking about.
12:10
The iconic Vince Simmons. Vince Simmons, the LSU guy that
12:14
can't pass, you know, college. College course.
12:17
Yeah, that guy. The fact here is when you look
12:20
at the 76ers, they've made a lot of mistakes.
12:22
Joel Embiid has been a slam dunk for them when he actually stays
12:26
on a basketball court. There's a lot of problems.
12:30
When you look at this organization and the 76ers, when
12:33
you think about all their teams, when it comes to the
12:37
Philadelphia Eagles, the Philadelphia Flyers, the
12:40
Philadelphia Phillies, this is the least important team out of
12:47
the the whole state of Sixerville.
12:50
I I would say Philadelphiaville because the Philadelphia Flyers
12:55
are the Philadelphia Flyers have been very, very important.
12:58
Their hockey team, no matter how bad they are, they got Rick
13:01
Tackett as their head coach. This team is beloved, beloved by
13:04
the Philadelphia fans and the baseball team, the Philadelphia
13:09
Phillies. They have Bryce Harper, they
13:12
have Kyle Schwarber. This is a A-Team that's very
13:16
beloved, very beloved by the Philadelphia fans.
13:19
And they won a championship. They won a World Series couple
13:23
of years ago, actually more than a couple of years ago.
13:24
It's been a long time. And then there's the
13:29
Philadelphia Eagles that have won two championships in the
13:34
last 10 years and they've been as good as any football team in
13:39
the NFL. This 76er team, when was the
13:44
last time they won a championship?
13:47
Doctor Dre, Doctor J That was it.
13:49
Was that though? I almost said.
13:50
Doctor Dre, Doctor J. The only world, the only winner
13:54
in the 80s I think besides the Pistons, that wasn't something
13:57
8. 31983 Now I'm not As a Knick fan, I can attack the Knicks in
14:02
many different ways. The, The Knicks haven't won a
14:04
championship since 1973. Okay, so we, we understand that,
14:09
but the Knicks are beloved. If you look, you, you laugh and
14:12
you giggle and everybody is going to giggle.
14:14
If you look at all the New York teams, all the New York teams
14:17
from the Yankees that have won and been consistent 27
14:20
championships, haven't won a championship since 2009.
14:24
But they have been a consistent organization of winning and
14:27
they've been to how many back-to-back playoff runs and
14:30
how many winning seasons. I think they've had over 35 or
14:33
34 winning seasons, which probably will never be broken in
14:37
professional sports again. Think about that.
14:39
And then you have the Rangers, the Islanders, They're all
14:43
beloved teams, every, every single team.
14:45
The Mets very beloved. But for some reason, if you ask
14:49
any New York fan, which is the most beloved team in New York,
14:54
it's the New York Knicks. No matter how bad the New York
14:57
Knicks are, they sell out every single game.
14:59
Every single game. They could be the worst team for
15:02
25 years. Bad basketball watching terrible
15:06
basketball. When Patrick Ewing was traded to
15:08
the SuperSonics, remember that after 99, everybody remembers
15:12
that, that the team just completely fell apart,
15:15
dismantled. Then they bring in Amari
15:18
Stoudemire. Then they bring in Carmelo
15:21
Anthony. They had a couple of good years
15:24
but couldn't get over the hump. Never made it to the Eastern
15:27
Conference finals with Carmelo Anthony or Maurice Stoudemire.
15:29
Never did. It took years after that until
15:35
Leon Rose gets brought in. No more Phil Jackson, no more
15:40
Mr. Fisher or anybody they brought.
15:42
And there's a list of guys they brought in.
15:45
After that no more, they bring in Leon Rose which the fans
15:48
didn't like and they make a move and they sign Jalen Brunson.
15:53
They give him a three-year deal, 60 something $1,000,000 contract
15:57
and it changed the Knicks fortunes forever.
16:01
Now, going back to the 76ers, what has changed this 76er team
16:07
from at one point with Allen Iverson, one of the best teams
16:11
in the Eastern Conference, one of the greatest guards to ever
16:15
play this game. And we saw Allen Iverson on the
16:18
sidelines during the Philadelphia games, his hand in
16:22
his lap, his head in his lap, not watching the game, not
16:26
interested in the game. Why?
16:27
Because they're getting dominated by the New York Knicks
16:29
by 3040 fifty. Whatever it is, it's an
16:34
embarrassment. And when you look at this
16:37
organization, there is nothing that stands out to me that
16:41
there's going to be change. Now Myers has won before.
16:45
He's 1. He, he built the Golden State
16:47
Warriors. Everybody gives him credit.
16:48
And then he, he, he pretty much dashed away as soon as that team
16:53
was falling apart. They were getting old.
16:55
Myers walks away. He completely steps down from
16:57
the Golden State Warriors. He became an ESPN broadcaster,
17:02
analyst for the NBA for a year. And then all of a sudden, Mr.
17:07
Harris reaches out to him and says, hey, listen, I want you to
17:10
help me run my teams. He works with the Philadelphia
17:13
Eagles now he's working with the the Philadelphia Flyers and all
17:17
these other teams and all these different organizations.
17:20
It reminds me of the Portland Trail Blazers.
17:22
If anybody remembers, remember the Portland Trail Blazers.
17:27
I think if anybody doesn't know the story, you got to check it
17:30
out on Netflix 30 for 30. It is a great, great story.
17:33
They bring in AGM that the year before pretty much built the
17:40
SuperSonics into a a contending team.
17:43
He leaves, he goes to the Trail Blazers because of ownership, a
17:48
new owner, a very rich owner brings him in and he wanted to
17:51
build the team the way he wanted to.
17:53
And then all of a sudden it wasn't about basketball.
17:56
It was about all the organizations that he owned,
17:58
including the the football team and all the other stuff behind
18:03
the scenes. And the GM just had no interest,
18:07
no interest in running anything but the basketball team.
18:10
And then when he lost full control of the basketball team,
18:13
everything started to compile on him.
18:15
Now, I'm not saying Daryl Morey is that Daryl Morey is a
18:18
complete ass. He was an idiot for six years,
18:22
taking over this organization. And I don't know much about
18:25
Daryl Morey, but what I've seen, what he's done for the 76ers,
18:28
absolutely nothing. The only thing that you can pat
18:31
him on the back for is you have Joellen B Joellen B bitching
18:35
that he was never an MVP. And finally the NBA handed him
18:39
an MVP. So if he wants to say that at
18:41
one point he ran this organization and he had an MVP
18:44
on the team, good for you. Congratulations to Daryl Morey,
18:48
because this team, since he's been there, has never gone to a
18:52
conference finals, never. And you think about what
18:58
Edgecomb could be. I don't know what Edgecomb's
18:59
going to be. He looks like he's going to be a
19:01
nice player. I liked him in the draft.
19:03
He looked like a good young rookie.
19:07
He's he's not the best rookie of last year's class, but he's a
19:10
good rookie. And you have Maxi, but now
19:13
Tyrese Maxi, how many years does he have left on his contract?
19:16
They paid him last off. Season, yeah, but how many years
19:18
does he have left on his contract?
19:20
How? What is it going to take for
19:21
Maxi to say I don't want to be here anymore?
19:25
That's what I'm saying. I if I'm Maxi right now, I know
19:29
I have to deal with Joellen Beads crap.
19:31
He's never healthy. I know Paul George is there till
19:34
2028 and he looks old as hell. That's why he's on steroids.
19:38
Come on. I'm just saying think about it.
19:43
Where is this team going? What is the back end?
19:46
What? I mean, you could go after
19:48
Giannis, but I I don't think anybody's going to take Joellen
19:51
beads, bad knees. So what is it?
19:54
And now you have Myers thinking that he knows more than
19:57
everybody else. What's it going to take for
19:58
Harris to say that Myers is a complete idiot?
20:00
He's going to fire him because Myers had Steph Curry, he had
20:05
Klay Thompson, he got lucky in the draft and then he drafted
20:08
Draymond Green in the second round.
20:11
It was all luck, everything. Now, I'm not saying you you have
20:15
to know something about basketball.
20:16
Come on. Steph Curry is one of the
20:19
greatest shooters when I watched him play.
20:22
In the tournament, this guy took Davidson to the Elite 8.
20:27
I mean, this little guy who was by the way, undersized, very
20:30
thin, took his team to the Elite 8.
20:33
How many 3 pointers did he hit in that tournament?
20:35
I mean, everybody knew this kid was going to be a great player
20:38
in the NBA if his if they can keep his ankles healthy because
20:42
for the first three years he had how many ankle surgeries?
20:45
And Klay Thompson, he was an absolute sure thing when he came
20:49
out of the draft, great shooter, he fell right into Myers hands
20:54
and they became the Splash Brothers again.
20:58
You have to know something about basketball.
21:00
I'm not taking that away from Bob Myers.
21:03
But when you look at the the big picture here, what is he going
21:06
to do? Is he going to bring in another
21:07
Golden State Warrior executive? That's what he's going to do.
21:11
And since Myers has left the Golden State Warriors, how good
21:14
has the Golden State Warriors been?
21:16
They've been bad. They have been a bad
21:18
organization. Think about it this year, what
21:22
were they, 11 seed? They were playing team.
21:24
Playing team, they beat the Clippers and then lost Phoenix
21:27
as a ten seed. Steph Curry can't stay healthy.
21:30
Klay Thompson's no longer with the organization.
21:31
Traymont Green doesn't shut the hell up on a stupid podcast.
21:36
I saw him on the Kevin Hart roast.
21:38
I mean, he's on his tail end. I mean, by the way, none of his
21:41
jokes were funny, even though everybody was writing for him.
21:46
I'm just I'm just saying that though.
21:49
It wasn't funny. It wasn't funny.
21:50
I watched the whole roast. It was not funny.
21:52
It wasn't. There were a couple of guys that
21:54
were very funny. The Long Island guy, he was
21:57
really funny. Jay, he was really, really
21:59
funny. I like Katt Williams was very
22:02
funny. What's the one that got out of
22:05
backlash about the George Floyd situation joke?
22:10
And they were. He did something that the Trump
22:12
rally. Did I don't, I don't, I don't
22:13
remember, but I, I, I didn't, I didn't really read what
22:16
everybody wrote about the, the, the roast.
22:18
I just know what I I thought and I'll probably write something
22:21
about the roast because I thought some of it was pretty
22:24
outlandishly crazy. But that's a whole nother story.
22:27
The fact here is this is not something that was surprising
22:31
when you heard Daryl Morey was going to be fired.
22:34
I was surprised that Nick Nurse kept his job, but I think with
22:39
the agreement of Daryl Morey getting fired, Harris wanted to
22:43
keep Nick Nurse. One of the reasons why is think
22:46
about it, Nick Nurse had to coach in this round when his
22:50
brother just passed away. His brother passed away in the
22:54
middle of this round in game #3 his, there was an announcement
22:58
that his brother passed away. I mean, I couldn't coach if I
23:01
was very close with my brother and he was very close with his
23:04
family and has been very close with his family.
23:06
I probably wouldn't have coached throughout the rest of the
23:08
playoffs. And the fact that he did that
23:10
and he stood, stood by his team and the players, that says a lot
23:14
about Nick Nurse. So maybe they give him one more
23:18
year, but you know damn well whoever they bring in as the the
23:21
president of this organization, if Nick Nurse has a bad season
23:25
as a head coach or even starts the season with a 10 and 20
23:29
record or something of that magnitude, he's going to get
23:31
fired because that's not his guy.
23:34
So the messy part of what I think ended Daryl Morey was the
23:39
whole James Harden thing. That is what I believed settled
23:44
anybody's thought of what was going to happen to Daryl Morey
23:47
and Daryl Morey extending Paul George to a Max contract.
23:52
Paul George who hasn't been fully healthy.
23:54
And how many years? How many games has Paul George
23:57
played in a full season before? I mean, this year, how many
24:00
games did he play? I don't even know.
24:03
I don't even have it up. How many games did Paul George
24:05
play this year? How many games did Paul George
24:08
play last year? How many games did Paul George
24:12
play when he was in with the Clippers?
24:13
Him and Kawhi Leonard can never get over the hump.
24:17
The fact here is you look at this team, the 76ers are on
24:22
their way down in this division because think about it, Miami's
24:25
going to get better. Tyrrell is going to do whatever
24:28
it takes in the offseason to bring in another star to come
24:31
and play with Bam out of bio. He is probably going to do
24:34
anything and everything to make a move that that that's going to
24:38
work. I don't think it's going to be
24:38
honest, but it'll be somebody, somebody out there that is going
24:42
to become available with an organization that's looking to
24:46
either get draft stock or whatever they're deciding to do.
24:49
That's what's going to happen. And then you look at all the
24:54
other teams, Charlotte's getting better.
24:56
I mean, Charlotte's going to be better.
24:58
Atlanta's getting better. Atlanta's going to have draft
25:00
stock. All these teams are going to get
25:02
better. All these younger teams are
25:03
going to get better. And the Celtics might make a
25:06
move in the offseason to make themselves better.
25:09
And we know Brad Stevens doesn't believe that this team is a
25:13
championship contending team. So you know he's going to make
25:15
one or two or maybe even 3 moves next year.
25:18
Cleveland's going to be good. If LeBron James heads there or
25:21
he doesn't head there, I'm sure Cleveland's going to add pieces
25:24
in the offseason. The Eastern Conference is going
25:28
to be fully loaded and the 76ers are going to have a bunch of old
25:31
guys you got limping to Ellen beat who can't walk straight.
25:34
You have Paul George sticking himself in the ass because it's
25:38
because he can't do the things that he did or once do.
25:43
And then you have Tyrese Maxey who took the extension.
25:45
I didn't even know he took the extension, but honest to God,
25:48
we, we know the NBA is a players league.
25:50
If Tyrese Maxey doesn't want to be there, he's going to ask to
25:53
be traded. So what do they have?
25:57
Edgecombe? Good for them.
25:59
They've got nothing. Their bench sucks.
26:02
They traded Tobias Harris for who?
26:05
I'm not saying Tobias Harris is a star, but I I mean he's half a
26:09
decent player. They've got nothing.
26:12
Their bench sucks. Nick Nurse is right now in the
26:15
dollhouse. And I mean the dollhouse because
26:17
somebody's going to be brushing his hair and putting a wig on
26:20
him and putting on a dress because that's what he's going
26:22
to look. He's going to look like the
26:24
76ers bitch because they're going to fire him in 30 games
26:27
next year. That's where the 76ers are.
26:31
That and and now you're going to bring in Myers.
26:33
Oh, Myers is going to look over everything.
26:35
What does that mean? Why did he take over as the GM?
26:39
Why did he take over as the president of the 76ers?
26:42
You know why he don't want the job.
26:45
Nobody wants this job. And the only reason why Myers is
26:49
going to get involved because he's going to go into his back
26:51
pocket and he's going to make some phone calls to the Golden
26:54
State Warriors and he's going to say, well, who am I going to
26:57
bring in? I'm going to bring in a guy that
26:59
was under ME3 spots, under him, under me, and knows what I'm
27:03
going to be looking for. If anything happens in this,
27:05
this organization does or in the next three or four years, it
27:08
doesn't work with him. I could fire.
27:09
It's not me, it's him. That's why nobody wants this
27:14
job. Nobody.
27:17
And that's all I got to say about this.
27:19
Daryl Morey. I don't think when we look at
27:22
guys, it just absolute collapses as AGM or president of an
27:26
organization. Let's go back.
27:29
We've seen a couple with the Knicks, but so I'm not going to
27:32
mention everybody knows where I'm going to go with that.
27:34
Let's go with the Nets. We we know a couple of guys and
27:39
there's one right there still. Sean Mark still has a job.
27:42
It doesn't make any sense how Sean Mark still has a job.
27:45
Maybe because nobody wants that job.
27:48
And and right now the Nets just know they're just a bad, badly
27:52
run organization and it's own it's own.
27:54
I don't even know who owns the organization anymore because it
27:57
seems like it's they're jumping from ownership every single five
28:00
years. Nobody cares and the great teams
28:06
look, look at the great teams that have great GMs OKC, the
28:11
Suns, even even when the Suns have been bad, they they have a
28:16
good GM and we'll see how that works in the future with them.
28:19
Dallas doesn't have a good GM, as we all know, as we we all
28:23
know. Don't tell Carmelo Anthony, he
28:25
said. He's.
28:25
I'm just, I'm trying to think off my head, who has Pat Riley?
28:29
Obviously we all know Miami, if it wasn't for Pat Riley, the
28:32
Celtics and Brad Stevens. So there there are teams out
28:36
there. Milwaukee has a terrible
28:38
president. Terrible.
28:39
And that's why when Giannis goes, so will the president and
28:42
so will the GM Everybody's getting fired over there because
28:45
that organization does not know what they're doing.
28:49
They're they're not easy to find.
28:51
And why, why I say this is the Knicks are smiling, smiling
28:55
happily, Because for all the fans out there now, I'm going to
28:58
bring this to the Knicks because I got to because all the fans,
29:03
when Leon Rose, when Leon Rose got this job, nobody liked this.
29:08
Nobody liked it. Any Knicks fan, we could go
29:11
back. What is it?
29:12
Five years ago, six years ago, when Leon Rose got this job, I
29:17
remember I was doing this show and every I had six or seven
29:22
fans. Yes, I had six or seven fans
29:24
argue with me. Four of them called this show
29:26
and told me the Knicks are in trouble.
29:28
How did they bring in an executive that is an agent, An
29:34
agent that was Karl Anthony Towns's agent and all these NBA
29:38
players? Why are they bringing an agent
29:39
who has no experience whatsoever?
29:42
And then you hear he's going to bring in worldwide W he's going
29:44
to bring all these executives that have background of NBA and
29:48
spotting talent and all that other stuff.
29:50
And it took a couple of years, but now Nick, oh, by the way,
29:54
the first two years Nick fans were complaining that he doesn't
29:57
talk to the media. He doesn't deal with the analy,
30:00
you know, analysts and, and talk to anybody behind the scenes
30:04
until the end of the season. It was crazy.
30:08
Now all of a sudden, this guy's a genius.
30:10
Look at him back-to-back. Eastern Conference finals.
30:13
Every single year they've they've jumped.
30:16
They went from the first round to the second round to the
30:19
Eastern Conference finals. And hopefully this year it's the
30:22
finals. That's growth.
30:24
Now let's go back to the 76ers. Let's see how Daryl Morey has
30:29
turned his team into a growing team.
30:31
Well, let's look in the last five years, how far has the
30:37
76ers gone? Speedy, you, you know more than
30:41
anybody. How far have they gone?
30:43
They're. Either one and done in the
30:44
second round. And they just got swept by the
30:47
New York Knicks. They got swept and and by the
30:51
way, you came back from A31 deficit to the Celtics to the
30:56
Celtics and you completely quit. You quit in the the second round
31:02
against the New York Knicks, who, by the way, didn't have a
31:04
healthy OG and Anobi. They had McBride star for OG and
31:09
Anobi, who scored 29 or 27 points against the starters
31:13
against the Philadelphia 76ers. And all I kept hearing from Mr.
31:18
Quinton Coppols is Aubrey's going to be a good player in
31:21
this series. Edgecomb's a pretty good player
31:23
in this series. This teams are good players in
31:26
this series. Yeah, they were great.
31:28
Absolute joke. The organization's a joke.
31:31
Nobody wants this job. I'm telling you right now,
31:33
whoever they bring in for this job, it's going to be a no name
31:36
guy nobody's ever heard of. Nobody wants this job.
31:38
Speed. No.
31:39
And and it's tough when you look at what Mori had to do to
31:43
accumulate the previous mess too.
31:44
Remember Elton Brand was there for a while too.
31:46
And and Joel Embiid was the only player that they had and even he
31:49
took two years to play. So you were kind of stuck trying
31:52
to rebuilding from that. And how quickly they did it with
31:54
Mori in the beginning maybe made Mori give a sense of false up.
31:58
I can do the same thing and I do in Houston and I'll be able to
32:00
coach through the Eastern Conference because the Eastern
32:02
Conference isn't as good. Meanwhile, he still made a lot
32:04
of those same mistakes. It took a while for him to
32:06
evolve. The Sixers needed wing depth for
32:09
a while to go along with him, beat him, Maxi, and finally they
32:11
get Edgecomb. It falls into their lap
32:13
essentially. And then they just can't develop
32:16
a good bench and they train a good a guy in Jared McCain that
32:19
had a good rookie year when the rest of the team was crap.
32:22
Stop with the Jared McCain thing.
32:24
I mean, if this is a joke, you're going to complain.
32:27
You're going to Joel and and Paul George and everybody
32:29
complaining about a young kid. Nobody gives a crap about why
32:32
because they traded him to OK C so they can extend or try to
32:36
bring in some young talent in the future.
32:38
This is ridiculous. That had nothing to do with it.
32:41
This Jared McCain complaining and all the players not like it.
32:45
He Daryl Morey was on the hot seat before the season started.
32:49
Before the season started, Daryl Morey was probably going to get
32:52
fired. The only way they don't get
32:53
fired. It was a surprise that the
32:55
Celtics got knocked out in the first round, being up 31 and and
32:59
a lot of people. But if if the 76ers beat the
33:01
Knicks or came back to beat the Knicks, maybe Morey keeps his
33:05
job for one more year. Maybe.
33:08
I don't even know if that happens.
33:10
Again, you you beat a team with the Knicks, you beat a team with
33:12
the Celtics. So I think a lot of people's two
33:14
favorites in the East going into the playoffs, I think, yeah,
33:17
you're going to keep your job at that point.
33:18
But it still doesn't justify what he did wrong.
33:20
And the Paul George contract I think was the main thing.
33:22
Now, again, at the time he they needed wings.
33:24
They needed guys that could shoot the three, guard the
33:26
perimeter because they didn't have that for a while.
33:28
They had a big team with them beat inside.
33:31
Patrick Rito is a good power forward.
33:32
They had, I think they'll SAP for a little while over there.
33:35
But they had cases of wing depth in a league that you need wings,
33:39
3 and D league now you need wings.
33:41
And Paul George was their desperate option.
33:44
Oh, let's go pay him four years and $212 million when he can
33:46
barely stay in the court. He had a healthy year in 2023.
33:49
And that that gave Daryl Morey false hope to say, oh, we're
33:52
going to go extend him to this Max contract.
33:55
And a guy that had that, one of the gruesome knee injuries we've
33:57
ever seen in basketball recently, we're going to trust
34:00
that guy to stay healthy for a four year, $212 million contract
34:03
when he's old. I think that's what did him in
34:05
the most when you look at that. And I just think the refusal to
34:09
evolve when, you know, Embiid is not a flight risk.
34:12
Just get hurt all the time, not building good front court depth
34:15
around him, not evolving the team around Tyrese Maxi a little
34:18
sooner than he did. I think that's what did him in
34:20
the most. Somebody had to go or they had a
34:22
horrible season. I think also we can learn that
34:25
data and analytics is the end all be all when it comes to
34:29
playing the game of basketball. So, you know, a couple bad
34:32
contracts, obviously, like you mentioned before with Paul
34:35
George contract, that was pretty crazy.
34:38
Then he gave James Harden money for one year, you know, so he
34:42
made a bad a couple bad executive decisions.
34:44
But overall, I think, you know, when these situations happen,
34:48
especially when you get swept in the second round, you got
34:51
somebody got to take the blame. And so I think it was him at the
34:54
end of the day, I don't think, like you said before,
34:56
Philadelphia 70s ain't going nowhere no time soon.
34:58
So whether you fire them or you keep them, they're going to
35:02
still be in the same position. But they had to based on, you
35:05
know, his past and his his results of the decisions that
35:08
he's made in regards to the contracts, in regards to the
35:11
scheme, in regards to the particular players that he
35:15
actually got rid of and that he signed, which would like you
35:19
said before, it was older the guys that he signed.
35:22
And then it kind of got rid of like a Tobias Harris, who's
35:24
going to give you anywhere between 15 and 25 on a on a
35:28
nightly basis that can keep that consistent scoring to help you
35:31
get over the edge late in the ball game.
35:33
So, you know, he just made a couple bad decisions that I
35:36
don't think he could recover from, especially going down 31,
35:40
obviously coming back against the substance, but then look,
35:42
getting swept by the New York Knicks.
35:43
So, you know, yeah, it's typical NBA business.
35:49
And again, Phil, if you're a Philadelphia fan, you sit back
35:52
and you argue about it. There's nothing to argue about
35:54
it. They're they're going to bring
35:56
in a guy that's probably going to be new to the position and is
35:59
going to be run by Myers. And if if this guy fails in
36:04
three or four years, Myers is going to hide behind him because
36:06
he's going to say, I'm not running the team.
36:08
I'm just the higher up guy looking over and proceeding what
36:12
he is doing. So I'm looking at all the
36:14
different things he's doing. I'm making, I'm helping him make
36:17
the decisions, but I'm not making the decisions.
36:19
So Myers just not going to take the responsibility if this team
36:22
fails in the next three or four years.
36:24
And right now, nobody wants Paul George, nobody wants him because
36:27
of the injuries and nobody wants Joel Embiid because of his
36:30
injuries. So where do they go?
36:32
They have two guys that are on in contract now that are still,
36:38
they're at the tail end of their careers, overpaid and not as
36:42
good as they were five years ago.
36:44
So that's the problem right now with the 76ers and you know what
36:47
that means. They're going to be bringing in
36:49
these veteran minimal pipe type of players that you think are
36:52
going to be in good additions, but they're not.
36:55
They're they're going to be players that are going to just
36:58
even fall apart just like the other ones.
37:00
And and this team might be on the back end.
37:02
They might not make the playoffs for the next two.
37:04
Or three they're. Going to have to.
37:05
They're going to have to. They'll be the playoffs.
37:08
They could be a top eight team. That's not a hard.
37:10
That's not hard is. That the ceiling you want to go
37:12
for though. You say that.
37:14
That's what I'm saying. But they they got the talent to
37:16
be a top AC. The only thing that's going to
37:18
be the is Joel and be health. If he can stay healthy for at
37:21
least half the season, they can easily be a top 18.
37:24
They're not a bad team overall. They just relied on data
37:27
analytics and they didn't prepare.
37:29
They never made coaches adjustments in the game.
37:32
You paid that. They did the same thing for
37:33
four-game shakes against the Knicks.
37:36
You know, not to take none away from the Knicks, but at the end
37:38
of the day, like you don't make those end game adjustments.
37:40
You can't expect a different result.
37:42
And so in New York capitalized off that and then got rid of
37:44
them. So this is a good, it's still a
37:46
good team even though they owe if they all healthy.
37:48
You can't sit here and tell me that they can't be a sit seven
37:52
or eight seed in the East. Well, I can't.
37:53
I can tell you they that though, Errol.
37:56
If Joella could. Be worse.
37:58
Worse how? And I'll tell you right now, the
38:01
real reason Maury's gone is because of the James Harden
38:06
debacle and then not getting enough for not trading Embiid
38:09
when he won the MVP. If he traded Embiid when he won
38:12
the MVP at age 28, he gets a boatload.
38:16
And now you got. Traded though MVP.
38:19
He never got out of the tech. Well, here's the deal.
38:22
Look at him. He's never played more than 66
38:24
games in his career. Ever.
38:26
This highest happened. This ain't this ain't after MVP.
38:29
This is not hindsight, this was what people were saying at the
38:31
time. He doesn't play and he's never
38:34
gotten out of the second round of the playoffs.
38:35
And that's still true about MB, especially after this sweep.
38:39
Maury's, you know who Maury originally was?
38:41
He was the guy who started that MIT Sloan Analytic Conference
38:44
and he was Danny Ainge's right hand man in Boston doing all the
38:47
cap stuff before Ainge got all the guys together.
38:51
He was gone in 2006, but he was with Ainge for a long time.
38:55
He knows what he's doing. He was good with money.
38:57
They're not screwed for the future with the cap.
38:59
They're OK. The problem is he tried to make
39:03
up for Hardin's disaster by going for Paul George, and that
39:08
was another disaster on top of the first disaster.
39:10
How are they? OK, hold on one second.
39:12
How are? They well, they're not, they're
39:13
not cap screwed, you know what I mean?
39:15
Like like the knit? Like the knit they've.
39:17
Got how many Max players now? Think about it, they've got 3
39:19
Max players. They have Maxi, who's who just
39:22
signed a Max contract. Now you have Joellen Bean who
39:25
signed a Max contract, and you have Paul George and you have
39:29
Paul George who has a Max contract.
39:31
So you're going to tell me he knows what he's doing with the
39:33
money. He obviously doesn't.
39:35
He overpaid to all guys. That's what he did.
39:38
It's balanced though, like those two contracts come off the books
39:41
and staggered in a way that they will have money each of those
39:44
years. That's all I'm saying.
39:46
He wasn't like some guys that are GM's that leave teams
39:49
completely screwed. You know, in all the sports we
39:52
know that in QA football, staying is the best ability is
39:56
availability. I don't believe that crap, Joel.
39:59
I don't believe that crap. 100% I don't believe you can't be on
40:04
the on the court. Wait a second.
40:05
What good are you? So you agree with Jeff?
40:08
That's what you're telling us right now.
40:09
That's who you agree with. No, no, him, Jeff, him.
40:13
That's what he that's what he's able.
40:14
To play, to be good, that's you. That's what you're saying.
40:18
You're, you're telling me a person that you can't stand,
40:20
you're agreeing with. Well, he might be right about
40:24
this one. Oh my God.
40:26
You hear that, ladies? And.
40:27
Gentlemen, Errol, Errol, do you see what that was?
40:28
Me admitting someone else I might be right about.
40:32
Something So now you're taking shots at me.
40:35
I'm just saying I think I'm right about.
40:36
It I think you're wrong because if you think about it, you just
40:39
said quote UN quote, they're not in cap hell, they are right now.
40:43
They are. They got 3 Max players.
40:46
Two of them are old, two of them can't stay healthy.
40:48
And you have a guy like Maxie who's sitting there saying why
40:51
do I want to be here? I don't want to be here anymore.
40:54
Trade me, Trade me. He's not built like that.
40:58
Yes, he's got to be like. I don't know, I thought that.
41:00
Now maybe two years. I've thought that about a lot.
41:03
I never thought Giannis would ever leave the Milwaukee Bucks.
41:06
Never. They forced him out.
41:08
They didn't play. Hold on.
41:09
Hold on, but my argument here is nobody would have thought that
41:13
Giannis would ever ask for his way out of Milwaukee.
41:17
Nobody. No matter what they did.
41:19
This guy, as far as helping his family, getting his family
41:22
settled down in Milwaukee, he's a God there.
41:25
He's got his sneaker deals and all that other stuff.
41:28
He was a God in Milwaukee. Now all of a sudden, ladies and
41:31
gentlemen, he wants out. He don't want to be there
41:34
anymore. You know why?
41:35
Because the organization overpaid Chris Middleton.
41:38
They brought in Damian Lillard, and then they decided not to do
41:42
anything with Damian Lillard and they traded him back to the
41:44
Trail Blazers. I mean, the organization was an
41:47
absolute debacle. And that's exactly what's going
41:51
on with Philadelphia. So you're sitting here telling
41:53
me fish. Oh, oh, availability and all
41:55
this other crap. Here's what I'm going to tell
41:57
you. The organization isn't a sham.
42:00
And now you have a superstar player that give it a year.
42:04
He's going to say I don't want to be here anymore.
42:06
Trade me, trade me to an organization.
42:08
It's going to be a year, because next year they're going to be
42:11
really, really bad because. Joella, why you keep saying that
42:14
Joella if. Paul George doesn't play.
42:16
Now Errol's right about this. If Paul George is one of those
42:19
contracts and he's a 0, he's. Been he's right and we didn't
42:24
played the season yet. You just talking about he right,
42:27
dude, he said. There's going to be.
42:28
A lot. Listen to the logic, the logics
42:31
that you have 3 Max contracts. Yes, one of them sits out.
42:34
Now you're paying for three Max contracts.
42:36
We only have two Max players. Who's sitting up?
42:39
If you combine Paul George and Joel Embiid, they missed more
42:42
than a full season this year. When they played.
42:45
Well, Paul George needs to take steroids to be able to have his
42:47
confidence. We know everybody played Paul
42:49
George, but he played. They banned him for half the
42:51
season. They banned him for 25 games.
42:54
How many games did he play this season?
42:55
OK, less than half. He's not the same guy.
42:59
Joel Embiid. You don't need to be.
43:01
He does if they're paying him a Max contract.
43:03
No, that's just bad. He he's just got money.
43:06
All right, all right, all right. Joel Embiid.
43:09
Joel Embiid played 38 games and Paul George played 37 games.
43:15
All right, terrible. And let's go back.
43:17
Let's go. Back C was it?
43:18
What C was it? What do you mean what seed?
43:20
I don't. I don't know where it doesn't
43:21
really. Matter.
43:22
It's really matter in. Games savage seed with them not
43:25
even does it really matter yes. That's what I'm trying to tell
43:29
you. No, All right, They they made
43:31
that award. All right, Hold on.
43:32
Hold on. Hold on.
43:33
Hold on. You're not winning the.
43:34
Change. Let's look at Paul George.
43:36
Nobody said hold on, hold on. Get into the playoffs.
43:38
Hold on, let's look at Paul George's career and games over
43:43
the last Let's go eight years. In 2019 he played 48 games, 2020
43:50
he played 54 games. 2021 he played 31 games, 2020 two, 56
43:58
games. 2023 he finally set played 74.
44:02
Last year he played 41 and now he's played 37.
44:05
You think that's good and you gave him an extension like that.
44:08
Then let's look at Joel Embiid. Then let's look at Joel Embiid.
44:11
Joel Embiid the last couple of years.
44:13
Well, this year 38 the year, last year 19, the year before,
44:18
39 the year before 66685151. I mean, the guy never plays.
44:24
He never plays, so how is this team going to win?
44:29
Is the team been? Has the team has success with
44:31
them not playing? Success because they're an
44:34
Eastern. Conference yes or no?
44:36
But here's the thing Q. You're missing it QQ.
44:40
You're missing it. The Eastern Conference is
44:42
getting better. That's what you're missing.
44:45
They're getting better. Charlotte's getting better.
44:48
The Hawks are getting better. We could go up and down the
44:51
Eastern Conference right now. They got better this year.
44:53
That's not the same thing. Oh my God.
44:55
Atlanta at least 16. All right, let's move on from
44:58
this. I'm not going to argue anymore
45:00
into. This I know, but that's what I'm
45:02
saying. I'm not.
45:02
More I'm not. Arguing about this double down
45:04
though, you stayed there. I'm not doubling down.
45:06
I'm not arguing about this anymore.
45:08
I gave you my opinion and played down to this. 76ers are never
45:12
going to be healthy, fully healthy, and you're not going to
45:14
say. That you said they're going to
45:15
have a terrible. Season I I.
45:17
Think. They're going to be a playing
45:19
team and they're not even going to get into the.
45:20
First, they're going to make the playoffs.
45:21
What do you mean is a play is a play in making the playoffs,
45:27
Yes. No, it's not.
45:28
Not to me, not to. Me.
45:30
Not to you. But according to the 33.
45:33
Max players that were superstar whole and and maxi is like one
45:37
of the big young superstars right now in the league and
45:40
you're going to tell me they're OK?
45:42
Hold on, you're going to be OK and being a play in team that's
45:45
OK with you. It's a success.
45:48
Oh, that's not a success. This is a success.
45:51
This is a success. That's the success.
45:53
Before before we get to the next segment, I I gotta I just try to
45:57
throw this out there. I don't want to hear any more
45:59
bull crap about Maxi is better than Jaylen Bronson.
46:02
I think that conversation is now over that that conversation is
46:06
completely over. It's completely over as of right
46:09
now. It's not an.
46:10
Argument I just want to let everybody know that I fought my
46:13

48:35
Pistons. I'm excited.
48:37
