  Speaker 1: World Cup is over and the King of Soccer, Linel
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Messi has been dethroned by the future goat maybe in
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Laminia Mall And now let's time to check in on
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: our goats, well some of our goats. King James Lebron
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: has been the cornerstone of the NBA for over two decades,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and this summer we will find out where Lebron will
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: end up going. There are five teams realistically in the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: hunt in no particular order, the Miami Heat, besides the Heat,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Wolves, the Warriors, the Sixers, and the Calves. Lebron's
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: former teammate Chris Bosh, the Great Chris Bosh gave his
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: thoughts on where he thinks Lebron should go. He said, quote,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: if I were in lebron James Shoes, I would choose Miami.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And here's why, if you really think about it, where
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: do people.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Go when they're about to retire or retired? You don't
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: have to make nothing up in this situation. You see
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that he's picked up the sticks, he's got a new
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: hobby and golf. Where can you golf all the time
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: with him? So he's being a little cheeky there. But
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: adding in some basketball reasons, if you know anything about
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the Miami Heat, you know that they want to be competitive.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: They don't believe in wasted years.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: They're going to put a team around you, honest to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: be able to compete for a championship. So with all
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: those things said, I think it's the best place for him.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I do agree with a great Chris Bosh. I think
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that Miami is the best place for him. We go
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: through every team that is in the running. As far
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: as those five teams I listed, the Heat do make
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the most.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Sense for a lot of reasons.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: One, obviously, you have you, honest, you have them two
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: great defensive pieces. You have Spoe, one of, if not
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the best coach in the NBA. It's a building and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a staff that you are familiar with. It is a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: front office that you are familiar with. It is a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: city that you are familiar with. But beyond being familiar
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: with it, it is a space where you can go
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and win right away. If you're talking about the Cavs,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I get it. It's a going home story, I mean
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to me, and I I understand I'm biased. I do
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: feel like the going home story has already been done.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think that him going there makes them a contender,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So I almost kind of feel like he disappears a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: If it's even possible for.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Lebron in Cleveland, they just don't have the same allure
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that they did the first time he went back. So
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I do feel like that's kind of a waste. Philadelphia
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: will have insane expectations if he goes there. Philly is
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: ready to win right now. They are not playing around
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: with the moves that they've made. If he goes there
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and anything goes wrong, Philadelphia fans will lose their mind,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and I do think it will. It will add to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the conversation about Lebron and what he would be doing
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to teams at the end of his career. So I really, really,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: really not like that. If you're talking about Minnesota, I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: think they have a young core they're building towards the future.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It feels like on the court it could work, but
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it also feels like it would hinder their development as
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a young core. And then when you talk about the Warriors.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I think the Warriors are the only other team besides
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Heat that makes sense the roster that he would
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: be playing along with obviously Steve Kerr, an organization that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is top tier, but it also feels very old and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: NBA old obviously, and I just don't know that. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: think it would get a lot of attention, but I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: don't know how well they would do on the court,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and when you're looking at some of the other very young,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: very competitive cores in the Western Conference, it just doesn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: seem the right space. Now, again, I'm extremely biased. I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: do think that the Heat is the right place for him,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: but we will see, and the entire NBA world is
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: kind of on hold until he decides where he wants
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to go. So we are in the office season, as
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: we know, although we're ticking closer, we're ticking closer to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the start of the NFL season. So I'm going to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: start doing some lists of my own. We are definitely
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in this season, so we're going to start getting into that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: We already talked about.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and the disrespect.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Of Lamar Jackson, but we're going to go through and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: preview some teams as we get closer to the Hall
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of Fame game Cardinals Panthers on Thursday, August sixth, that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: just right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Around the corner.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And the first game of the season is just a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: month later on Wednesday, September ninth, and that will be
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl rematch with the victorious Seahawks hosting the Patriots,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: who had an interesting off season. For sure, we'll get
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to the Patriots a little later because we're going to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: start with the champs. So here are a couple of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: things to look out for for the Seattle Seahawks coming
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: off of their Super Bowl. With their Super Bowl, MVP
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: is no longer there. So I know a lot of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: people have a lot of opinions about running backs.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And we go through these waves with running backs.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Were one week they're super important, one year they're super important.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You got to have a top tier running back. They
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: get drafted very high, they get paid a lot, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: then someone gets injured and everything falls apart, and then
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: they have a replacement running back that has a big
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: season and we don't care about running backs anymore. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: think having a running game is incredibly important. If you
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: have a running game that is expensive but is productive,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: then it doesn't matter, but it is a risky position
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to pay xiax Let Kenneth Walker super Bowl MVP leave
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for the Chiefs to make him only the fifth highest
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: paid at his position based on average annual value or
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: what we call AAV.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: So they are still invested in that position.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They still have the twenty twenty three second round pick
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Zach Charbonnet on his rookie deal, and they just drafted
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the Notre Dame running back to Darian Price with their
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: first round pick in April. So it's not that they
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: have abandoned the run game, but they did not want
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to pay for the MVP Kenneth Walker, and I.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Get it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It is a position that you don't want to overpay.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I don't really love that they help the Chiefs, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we'll see because the run game is a really really
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: important part of their offense and their success. And you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it sends a message. Obviously, you're the Super Bowl MVP
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and you're not going to keep you.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think it makes people want to play with
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: any less, you know, heart, but it does really send
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the message. It's just business around here. That said, you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: can look around the NFC. West'll skip over the Cardinals.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I think they have a lot of work to do as.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: They turn the page from Kyler Murray. But the Rams
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: are They're always in it to win it, but this
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: year they really feel like they are going all in.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Obviously they have Miles Garrett.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of rumors about Aaron Donald coming back,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: but regardless, Miles Garrett being in the division should be
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a pretty.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Scary proposition for Sam Darnold.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: The Niners obviously going to be out for blood, as
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: they always are, but they're going to need to stay healthy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: But this is a really top division.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And the third thing is the Super Bowl hangover. Now,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: usually this is the curse. The Seahawks played three more
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: football games than the half of the league and one
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: or two more games than anyone except for New England.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: So there is that, and then their lives change. You know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: when you win a Super Bowl, things are different. Your
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: off season is a little different than the off season before. Now,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Mike McDonald has said that you know he has standard
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and that you know they're not They're going to find
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a new thing to play for. And you know it's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: not just repeating. He wants to keep things a challenge,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and you know, I get all that he's a young coach.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Shout out to the eighty seven babies. He is one
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of the youngest coaches in the league at thirty nine.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's going to be a different off
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: season when you come off of winning a Super Bowl,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: when you you know your head hits the silk sheets.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You've got to find new ways to be motivated. So
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I do think the Seahawks gonna be very interesting. Obviously,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they are an incredible defense, which I'm in defense girly.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I love when you build through defense.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I think it is vitally important, particularly when you are
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: dealing with fall winter sport. I mean, don't get me
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: started on and Dolphins. We'll do them eventually, but that
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is my biggest thing. Like you've got to have run
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: game defense. This has to be able to travel, this
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: has to be able to go on the road, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: those things translate deep into the season.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But that's my take on the Seahawks. I do think
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: that they will take a slight step back this year.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I don't see them repeating as Super Bowl champs, but
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they are going to be a very very tough team
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to beat and very tough in what is already a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: very difficult division. Thanks so much for joining me from
