Transcript
- 0:05[SPEAKER_01]: you are listening to the paces report with microch every monday on the central indian sports report all right welcome
- 0:18[SPEAKER_01]: Indiana Pacers fans do the Pacers Report with Mike Rich here on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a little while since Mike and I talked, Mike's been on the road, but we will be talking more Pacers now as the season gets closer, we've got a lot of things going on, including Summer League.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_01]: Since last time Mike and I talked, the Pacers have drafted Braden Smith, one of our all-time favorite college.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_01]: Basketball players will talk a little bit about that.
- 0:45[SPEAKER_01]: But Mike, I want to get your opinion on the rumors, because we had a whole podcast about it, but you were unavailable when we did about Tray Murphy.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_01]: And now the latest rumor is the Pacers are one of the players for Jalen Brown.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_01]: So you're overall thoughts on what should the Pacers be thinking this week as free agency gets underway on Tuesday.
- 1:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think they need to address the two biggest things.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: And that's depth at the center position and the wing.
- 1:22[SPEAKER_00]: I think Jaylon Brown would be fantastic to have, but I just don't think we have the salary cap space to do it.
- 1:28[SPEAKER_00]: I think it'd be, you're gonna have to give up some pretty good pieces to get that, just to free up the, to stay under the luxury tax.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think the pastures are gonna go above that.
- 1:39[SPEAKER_00]: That's just not there.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_00]: But you're of the opinion that if they can make the big move they should for the right players, but I mean what are they going to give up to get something like J1 Brown?
- 1:55[SPEAKER_00]: I mean they're going to have to give something up to not just sign and even keep an aim on the team that we have.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: No, it would be two of the starting five.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure, and a lot of, I don't want that.
- 2:08[SPEAKER_00]: I like the starting five we have.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very comfortable with the starting five we have.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_00]: And the team has been built to play for championships when everyone's healthy.
- 2:20[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we're, we're that good.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you.
- 2:26[SPEAKER_01]: I see the possibility of Jalen Brown who plays that one position.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_01]: that every really good team has a guy like that, and not that nothing against Aaron Neesmith, but clearly the Pacers fifth best, fourth best starter.
- 2:43[SPEAKER_01]: It would be quite an upgraded that position.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_01]: Jalen Brown is not likely, but if you want to talk about teams that could probably give the Celtics back what they would want, it would probably one of those teams would be the Pacers.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_01]: It's the pastry.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely have players to trade, but do you want to disrupt the chemistry that you have, the core that you have?
- 3:04[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know what zoo bots is going to be like in that starting five when everybody's healthy.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we haven't even ran it with what we want and what we have to have Haliburton, Siakum, and zoo bots on the court at the same time with Neesmith and Nempar.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think we need to give it a shot, roll the dice with what we have.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: I think Jalen Brown's a great name and sounds like a great player to be, you know, put, put in there, but what are you going to get, I mean, what's, what's the, what's the risk for that reward, is it worth it?
- 3:50[SPEAKER_01]: I can see why people would say the Pacers are still a player away from being an elite team.
- 3:57[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure that's true.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we've seen the best of.
- 4:01[SPEAKER_01]: of Andrew Nimhard and Aaron Neesmith at all.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we've seen anywhere near.
- 4:08[SPEAKER_01]: We saw flashes of it last year when they weren't on very good teams.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the Nimhard Zubot's combination is gonna be pretty special in the pick and roll in particular.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_01]: They look like they really like each other.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_01]: They like playing with each other.
- 4:26[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is the way to go.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: If Obi-top ends a guy who has to go because that would be sad to me now.
- 4:36[SPEAKER_01]: You know, two years ago, I was, hey, let's just get rid of him.
- 4:41[SPEAKER_01]: Just
- 4:42[SPEAKER_01]: Get nothing in return, just get rid of OB top.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_01]: He is not worth it.
- 4:46[SPEAKER_01]: Two years later, he's an integral part of this team.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they're eight deep of really good players and 11 deep potentially.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_01]: So what kind of player are you looking to add here is the question, Mike?
- 5:02[SPEAKER_00]: Dad, I guess is what you're looking to add.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: I've heard maybe like someone like Gary Trent Jr or something and a wing or something but I don't know if I want that either.
- 5:16[SPEAKER_00]: I like what we got.
- 5:18[SPEAKER_00]: I like I like our our boom team.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_00]: I like what we got playing at the G league level being able to come up and play on this on this team.
- 5:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think Johnny Furfe is going to be a different player this year.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to step his game up.
- 5:34[SPEAKER_00]: He's growing I mean he's what 20-21 years old and we we haven't even scratched the surface with what he can do and I mean he can tear I think he could tear up the glee and I think he could play pretty well coming off the bench But again, we weren't that far away as bad of a team as we had last year
- 5:54[SPEAKER_00]: without injuries, even with the Haliburton being injuries began in season last year, we were thinking the team still had a chance to win 45 plus games.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: We won what 19, the lottery went the way the lottery went and I think we come in with a chip on our shoulder, knowing the NBA basically screwed the Pacers.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like our fifth pick was Zubotz, and I think we roll with it and see what we got.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, paces against the world for sure.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I'm feeling about it.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_01]: Some names I like that probably, again, this is the team that's now dealing with salary cap issues.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_01]: Jaris Walker rumors are he is on the trade block because they don't want to pay him.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they truly believe in Jaris Walker anymore.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see what happens there.
- 6:49[SPEAKER_01]: But Johnny Furfe is the one I think of the young guys that were probably the most excited about really excited to see what he has to offer coming off the injury.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super excited about Johnny Furfe and seeing what he can do.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_00]: I think another, I mean, he's had a lot of time to rehab.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think Hal Berkins playing well and he's coming back.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: He's had
- 7:13[SPEAKER_00]: almost a year and a half of rest.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: He's getting back into.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_00]: He says he's an MBA shape.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: He's just not however shaped yet.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to take a little time in the beginning of the season.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll be, I think we'll hover around 500 for the first probably 15 20 games.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to take take a little while for that team to to gel with the new pieces and with how a burden coming back and being in the starting line up I think that's going to take a little time we're going to have some frustration I think there, but I think at the end of the season I think we're going to be in a good place as long as everyone stays healthy.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Michael, we're gonna take a quick break, come right back and talk about the draft and similarly.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_01]: And then, right after that, we'll talk about the latest NBA news and what it means to the patient.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_01]: Mike, the patient did not have any draft picks much to our sigrin, but they did trade into the second round to draft an all-time favorite from Westfield from Purdue, Braden Smith.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_01]: From Westfield to Noble'sville, as we assume,
- 8:24[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what kind of MBA future he has, he has some definite limitations, but we know that he's going to work his ass off to get better and better.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_01]: And we know he's going to sell some tickets and nobles will for sure.
- 8:34[SPEAKER_00]: I was super excited when I saw that.
- 8:37[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the Pacers were in the draft for their starting five.
- 8:43[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't think they were in the draft for anyone who was going to play on on the team.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think they were looking at something for the boom, and I think it's a great, great.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_00]: pick.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_00]: I think he'll come in and he will work hard.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: I think he'll have a little chip on his shoulder, but how he's taking a pay cut to come play.
- 9:02[SPEAKER_00]: But after the all time of this leader coming and playing in noblesville, I think that's going to be pretty cool and can be from Westfield.
- 9:10[SPEAKER_00]: I'm pretty excited for him.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: I hope he gets a chance.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_00]: He's got good vision of the game.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: He's smart.
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's going to work hard.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to come in and he's going to fight to get into the, you know, get some playing time.
- 9:28[SPEAKER_00]: So I thought it was a cool pick.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was a really cool pick.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_00]: Good for the past.
- 9:34[SPEAKER_01]: For my school to college to pro basketball and he doesn't have to leave mom and dad's house.
- 9:40[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, Braden Smith was acquired for Cam Jones and a second round pick.
- 9:45[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of four players that we know is going to be on the summer league roster.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_01]: The others are Taylor and Peter who was a second round pick last year.
- 9:53[SPEAKER_01]: Ethan Thompson and Jalen Warley are the only three that we know for sure.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_01]: Jalen Warley is from Gonzaga and was an undrafted free agent.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_01]: I believe that's the same situation.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_01]: Taylor and Peter was in last year.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_01]: Summer League starts Friday, July 10th, Saturday, July 11th, Monday, July 13th, and Wednesday, July 15th are the subsequent games.
- 10:19[SPEAKER_01]: All the games are on ESPN and Prime Video and Mike.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of years going into the Summer League, I'm really excited some years.
- 10:26[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not as excited.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think besides Braiden Smith this year, there's not a whole lot to get excited about.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: No, but that's enough for me.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'd love to go watching play.
- 10:35[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I'd be excited to go see it.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'll have a good following.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad he's getting the opportunity.
- 10:41[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad if it's home town team is giving him that chance to think he'll he might surprise some of us.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 10:49[SPEAKER_01]: Another quick break.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_01]: Then Mike and I will be right back to talk about the latest NBA news and how to fix the spacers.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_01]: My god, I don't know about you, but when I watch the NBA, I'm always thinking about the Pacers no matter who's playing.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_01]: The Pacers are always at the center of my mind when there are NBA games on.
- 11:12[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really care about the NBA except for that it, how it affects the Pacers.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_01]: When I look at these three big trades that happen recently or are about to happen when they can officially happen, tell me your thoughts and does it have changed anything in your mind about where the Pacer stand in the greater picture of 202627.
- 11:37[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, Janice to Miami, does that change anything?
- 11:41[SPEAKER_01]: La Mello-Balda, Minnesota from Charlotte, what I thought.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_01]: ball and the hornets were going to have a really nice team just coming here and kind of changes that a little bit, but I can kind of see where they're going there.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_01]: And Miles Bridges de Phoenix, so your thoughts on what's happened in the NBA and does it affect the pastures at all?
- 12:04[SPEAKER_00]: Now, think, you know, I don't think it does.
- 12:07[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you only want it, I have a pause on that about what probably be honest to the heat.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_00]: I hate to see the heat.
- 12:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you're honest.
- 12:17[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how much better you're going to make the heat.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if there was enough for him to lift them to be serious.
- 12:23[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 12:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking too.
- 12:26[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if his game, I don't know if that's going to be enough for them to lift the heat.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Charlotte was on they were on a good track.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_00]: I thought they were going to be pretty tough next year.
- 12:40[SPEAKER_00]: I thought ball was going to be a good piece in that.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they decided a direction, and that was with Miller and Knipple and not.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they have a new plan that doesn't include a guy who's injured all the time.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_01]: That's all.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_00]: So it could be interesting there.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: I see Charlotte moving up.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're getting better, but you know, I thought ball was a good player too.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he makes Minnesota better.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_01]: I think that a big hole at point guard, that might be a big move for Minnesota.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_01]: He is real good, but that's a team that already had some weird chemistry and he's not a chemistry guy, so I'm gonna need some of that.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_01]: It's a weird team.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_01]: I think Charlotte, I kind of like what they're doing.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_01]: And the other one is Isaiah Joe to Detroit.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously that makes Detroit better.
- 13:37[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm not sure if they're quite ready to be on the same level with the Pacers and Nixon Celtics and the good teams in the West, but Detroit's another team that is clearly near now.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they are definitely trending upward.
- 13:53[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Pacer's window is now.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_00]: It's at the end of this season.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna know if it's close or not.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_00]: But I think this is the opportunity.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_00]: This is the, I looked at the starting five.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is the best starting five we've had to start a season.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_00]: And I, you know, and the depth is great.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_00]: It's an interesting question.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_01]: Might be.
- 14:20[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the Paul George Danny Granger, David West, Roy Hibbert, was pretty good, but I think this is better.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is better.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_00]: I think we forget sometimes how good Siakum is, and then to pair that with a healthy
- 14:44[SPEAKER_00]: This has what we've been looking for.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: If this team can stay healthy, this team is is easily top three in each.
- 14:52[SPEAKER_00]: They have the depth, they have the pieces starting.
- 15:01[SPEAKER_00]: I hope at the end of the season, I could say the same thing.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_00]: That this is the best team that we've ever started by we've seen with the publishers.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_00]: Going into it, I think this is
- 15:16[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Pretcher's done a phenomenal job putting this team together.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_00]: That's why I don't know if bringing in somebody from the outside to try to put into a starting position.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_00]: I love niece Smith, I like his game, I like his growth, I like his effort, I like the chemistry that he has with this team.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the one that if you look at the starting fight, that might be the weakest link.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: And Nim Harden Eastmith are still on their way up.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_00]: I agree.
- 15:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're on their way up, and this could, you know, they have the best year of their career this year.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: It's guys 11th this team.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_01]: Mike, thank you so much.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_01]: We will be doing Paces Reports.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_01]: Anytime there's breaking news, whether Mike and Join us or not, well, Rutherford will happily step in when Mike's on the road and can't join us.
- 16:07[SPEAKER_01]: One way or the other, we will be here to talk about what happens with the Pacers in the next few days, and it should be interesting.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_01]: We can forward to it, whether it's nothing, it might just be nothing.
- 16:22[SPEAKER_01]: It just could be nothing, Mike.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I doubt it's nothing.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're adding someone for sure.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to add depth.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_00]: don't I they can't change the starting line up you know no way the only way they're doing that that is with Tray Murphy yeah I thought that was I thought that was a good opportunity and but I'm looking at the depth chart and they got Brady Smith is the fifth behind Halibird nice
- 16:56[SPEAKER_01]: Well, by Jackson, don't be shocked.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_01]: Mike, if Kevin preacher pulls off the jail in Browns, right?
- 17:03[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying it's going to happen.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_00]: Just don't be shocked.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't be shocked.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the guy to just, you're so close.
- 17:14[SPEAKER_01]: He knows the time is now in jail and Brown changes the entire equation.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_00]: The only way J. Limbrow looks somewhat attractive on the only two players.
- 17:33[SPEAKER_00]: I would give up for the two players that, you know, most Pacer fans don't appreciate enough and that's NMR niece, but then I'd hate to see either one of them go.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_01]: They go be top and two three first round draft picks.
- 17:47[SPEAKER_01]: It would it would be more good in the future for a championship this year or the next year.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the other they don't have much draft capital in the future either.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they traded their 26 29 first round picks.
- 18:05[SPEAKER_01]: But they have 27 28 and 30 and Boston would love to have all of them.
- 18:13[SPEAKER_01]: And Brown wants out, I think.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_01]: So definitely wants out.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_01]: They're definitely trading them.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see any way returns to Boston after the things.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_00]: But the other thing is, is do you want him to go to the heat?
- 18:26[SPEAKER_01]: No, but to Janice and Jalen Brown work together, that's not the kind of combination you're worried about.
- 18:32[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_01]: You need a guard with Janice.
- 18:36[SPEAKER_01]: You need a guy who can play the way that Drew Holiday did with him.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you really have role really good role players when around you honest.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you want.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, that's exactly what Nim hard and he's with our perfect role players.
- 18:53[SPEAKER_00]: They are.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_01]: They're better than the role players, but they play well as role players.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: I think Nim hard could be an all star.
- 19:03[SPEAKER_01]: I think he could be that good.
- 19:12[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so looking forward to seeing how well he does this year.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's I think he'll continue to improve this year.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_01]: This podcast has been over five minutes.
- 19:21[SPEAKER_01]: We're just still recording it might as well, right?
- 19:23[SPEAKER_01]: This is what happened.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_01]: Even with my podcasting, we don't want to stop talking about the Pacers.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_01]: That's now lives like this.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_00]: And now I'm I'm ready for this.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_00]: I'm ready for summarily.
- 19:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's coming fun.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 19:41[SPEAKER_01]: This last year at this time was so depressing.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, we had to look forward to as the lottery.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_00]: And then that just crushed our hearts.
- 19:53[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we didn't even know last year.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_01]: We were, I didn't think we're headed for a lottery last year at this time.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_01]: I thought we were headed for a 40 win season.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:02[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that everyone else was going to get hurt too.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_00]: He saw it.
- 20:06[SPEAKER_01]: Well, waste of a year, man.
- 20:08[SPEAKER_01]: What a.
- 20:09[SPEAKER_01]: what a waste of a year turned out to be.
- 20:12[SPEAKER_01]: They can please.
- 20:13[SPEAKER_00]: Like, y'all, at the silver lining, as I think, Nammar got better and East Smith got better.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_00]: McConnell had some good top and got better.
- 20:23[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we topping got better.
- 20:25[SPEAKER_00]: Micah Potter.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Micah Potter looked pretty good.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we definitely saw some guys quitting Jackson earned a contract.
- 20:35[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, hopefully saw some of that.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_01]: We saw Johnny Furfy, some signs of, it will start them for the first time.
- 20:43[SPEAKER_01]: So there were some things that happened, but man, what a waste of a year.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_01]: Aw, Walker got a little better at towards the end of the year.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: It took him a while.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: We were a little nervous most in the year.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_00]: Jay Huff got plenty of starting time.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let's hope that we can do better than J. Yeah, yeah, I don't know if he's going to still be, I mean right now, probably still be on this team.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, the second best winner on the team right now.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
- 21:12[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't think we'll be right there.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_01]: You know, for a backup, he's not horrible.
- 21:18[SPEAKER_01]: He's just a generic miles turner in.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_01]: Well, how you fight your miles turner back as a backup.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, training for J.H.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we tried to trade him for seven years, Mike.
- 21:36[SPEAKER_01]: You're not gonna think it back now.
- 21:38[SPEAKER_00]: No, catching it.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I think the...
- 21:45[SPEAKER_00]: I think Milwaukee was going on a down or spiral before he went there, but God, he feels good to see how bad they are.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_01]: Mike, I think they've passed Detroit and New York and Miami is my least favorite in Milwaukee.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I can't stand that much.
- 22:03[SPEAKER_01]: At least for now.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not permanently, but at least for now.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_01]: And Cleveland might be second.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_01]: I Cleveland and Milwaukee, I just can't stand that much.
- 22:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I can't stand Milwaukee.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_00]: I can't stand the Brewers, I can't stand the Bucks, the Badgers, the Packers, I can't have them.
