0:00
Speaker 1: Or on our website nine through three kji dot com,
0:02
Speaker 1: or on the good old fashioned terrestrial radio and Great Weekend.
0:08
Speaker 1: The Gorge is still unbelievable. First time in twenty nine
0:11
Speaker 1: years i'd been to the Gorge. When's the last time?
0:12
Speaker 1: Where have you been to the Gorge? Gross? You remember? I
0:14
Speaker 1: only drove by it. I've never been out there.
0:17
Speaker 2: I've seen all the amazing pictures about it and people
0:19
Speaker 2: have said great things. I just haven't gone and participated
0:24
Speaker 2: at a live venue there.
0:25
Speaker 1: It's a mix of neglectic mix of music that they
0:28
Speaker 1: bring out there too on Saturday night. I didn't know
0:31
Speaker 1: this when I bought the tickets for my wife. She's
0:33
Speaker 1: a big Brandy Carlisle fan. From we'd mentioned lives in
0:37
Speaker 1: Maple Valley and Brandy Carl the headlining act. I said, sure,
0:40
Speaker 1: let's buy tickets to Brandy Carl out the Gorge sounds great.
0:43
Speaker 1: And then on my drive there, my wife tells me
0:45
Speaker 1: we brought a couple friends of ours that Bonnie Rait
0:48
Speaker 1: was playing too, and I thought Bonnie Rait is an
0:51
Speaker 1: opening act. No, Bonnie Ray was like a co headliner.
0:55
Speaker 1: She's seventy six years old and she played for an
0:58
Speaker 1: hour and a half. Brandy Carlyle didn't take the stage
1:04
Speaker 1: almost ten o'clock, and then Bonnie Ray came back out
1:08
Speaker 1: for a couple songs with Brandy Carlile, including a Joni
1:12
Speaker 1: Mitchell song, and Brandy Carlile is credited for bringing Joni
1:16
Speaker 1: Mitchell out of seclusion basically the last few years, including
1:19
Speaker 1: a show at the Gorge. If people still talk about
1:22
Speaker 1: so here's Bonnie Ray, a legend, Brandy Carlile, a local legend,
1:26
Speaker 1: on the stage of the Gorge at midnight Sunday morning
1:31
Speaker 1: playing Joni Mitchell and I looked at my life. It
1:34
Speaker 1: was like, this is way more than we bought. I
1:38
Speaker 1: didn't know that I was gonna get Bonnie Ray too.
1:40
Speaker 1: It was great, and it's setting and the sunset, and yeah,
1:44
Speaker 1: it was. It was fantastic. And so if you get
1:47
Speaker 1: a chance to go out to the Gorge, do it.
1:49
Speaker 1: I know there's some bad publicity about getting in and
1:51
Speaker 1: how hard it is going to in. We didn't have
1:52
Speaker 1: any trouble at all. Apparently they made some adjustments from
1:55
Speaker 1: the previous weekend shows. And I mean we had to
1:57
Speaker 1: wait a really long queue to get in. It took
2:00
Speaker 1: forty five minutes. But so what and the general emission.
2:03
Speaker 1: Lawn seating is still the way to go. I know
2:05
Speaker 1: that place has just mushrooms since I literally in some
2:09
Speaker 1: cases since I've been there. I remember I told you
2:12
Speaker 1: I saw Prince twenty nine years ago. It might have
2:14
Speaker 1: been five thousand people to capacity there. They hold twenty
2:18
Speaker 1: thousand people in the Gorge Cris. It's larger than Climate
2:20
Speaker 1: Pledge Arena. That's insane.
2:22
Speaker 2: But it is outside so long because you got I guess,
2:25
Speaker 2: a blanket or yeah, we're in you could just chill.
2:28
Speaker 1: And how far back is the view? I guess, I
2:30
Speaker 1: mean it's out there. I mean we were probably halfway
2:33
Speaker 1: up the upper lawn section and it went beyond us
2:37
Speaker 1: another fifty hundred yards and at the very top you
2:40
Speaker 1: need a telescope. I mean you're talking about maybe a
2:43
Speaker 1: quarter mile maybe further, maybe not quite that far, but
2:46
Speaker 1: oh yeah, a couple thousand, a couple five hundred feet
2:51
Speaker 1: or so. I mean, it's a couple basketball courts at
2:54
Speaker 1: least to the state. But of course nowadays they have
2:56
Speaker 1: the two big giant projection screens and see that all
2:59
Speaker 1: the way to right. And yeah, the setting is still beautiful,
3:03
Speaker 1: but I can't I couldn't believe how large the Gorgeous
3:06
Speaker 1: could become, and they told me twenty thousand people and
3:08
Speaker 1: it was sold out Saturday night. It was packed for
3:11
Speaker 1: Brandy Carlisle and Bonnie Ray. Sarah B. Brialis was the
3:15
Speaker 1: lead act. And it was a great show, really really
3:17
Speaker 1: good time. So if we get a chance to get
3:18
Speaker 1: out there on the show today, we're gonna talking about
3:21
Speaker 1: how the seahawkst got extra third round picks in each
3:24
Speaker 1: of the first two drafts. We're to talk about Mariner's piggyback.
3:27
Speaker 1: It's the most successful, unpopular part of this first place team.
3:32
Speaker 1: Remember we talked Friday about the tragic death of four
3:34
Speaker 1: times Stanley Cup champion Claude Lemieux and what police in
3:38
Speaker 1: Florida who found him said they believe was an apparent suicide. Well,
3:42
Speaker 1: claud Lemmew's family is donating Lemieu's brain to Boston University's
3:46
Speaker 1: CTE Research Center to continue that center's study of the
3:50
Speaker 1: effects of repetitive head trauma and athletes. Those tests, of course,
3:54
Speaker 1: can only happen after an athlete's death. And really commendable
3:59
Speaker 1: of Claude Lemux in a time of absolute grief. I
4:01
Speaker 1: mean this is sudden out of nowhere. Remember three days
4:03
Speaker 1: before he was being fedted and cheered and roared in
4:07
Speaker 1: the arena in Montreal holding a torch before Stanley Cup
4:10
Speaker 1: playoff game. Three days later, their husband and father found
4:14
Speaker 1: dead in apparent suicide. Now they're selflessly donating his brain
4:19
Speaker 1: for research to try to better our understanding of CTE
4:23
Speaker 1: and head injuries. He played twenty one years in the NHL.
4:26
Speaker 1: Claudlum you did and his parent, his family suspects that
4:29
Speaker 1: perhaps had trauma, had something to do with what he
4:33
Speaker 1: was battling, and really just a selfless and heroic act
4:37
Speaker 1: of their family in the middle of all of this
4:39
Speaker 1: to do that and the NBA Finals. So I was
4:42
Speaker 1: at the Gorge on Saturday, so I didn't see. I
4:45
Speaker 1: just got alerts on my phone about Game seven. We're
4:49
Speaker 1: gonna talk to Dan Weiss, who was the play by
4:51
Speaker 1: play guy courtside in Oklahoma City for the Spurs getting
4:54
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals against the Knicks after beating the
4:57
Speaker 1: Thunder in Game seven. Of course, eleven thirty year text
4:59
Speaker 1: for four or five one. We always readback your text
5:01
Speaker 1: on the Tacoma Dodge textan will do that at eleven thirty, Chris,
5:05
Speaker 1: did you know today is the forty seventh anniversary of
5:08
Speaker 1: a very very big basketball thing here in Seattle. Give
5:11
Speaker 1: it to us. The Seattle SuperSonics won the NBA championship
5:15
Speaker 1: forty seven years ago today June one, nineteen seventy nine,
5:18
Speaker 1: folks who have been here in the city morning the
5:20
Speaker 1: day are posting pictures of the raucous celebration through downtown Seattle.
5:25
Speaker 1: June nineteen seventy nine. I thought this was really cool, Chris.
5:29
Speaker 1: Last night, my wife, so we go on a walk
5:31
Speaker 1: after dinner. We have dinner on the back deck because
5:33
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful Seattle summer night, and we walk around
5:35
Speaker 1: Green Lake after dinner and she says, let's stretch. Said,
5:38
Speaker 1: we didn't go to yoga this morning. I got back
5:41
Speaker 1: for the gorge at four o'clock in the morning, so no,
5:43
Speaker 1: we didn't go to yoga's anymoreing she says, let's stretch.
5:46
Speaker 1: So I We're sitting on the floor doing lower Lake
5:49
Speaker 1: stretching or whatever. And she starts getting mad at me
5:52
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at my phone. You're looking at your phone. Well,
5:55
Speaker 1: what captivated me on my phone was a picture of
5:57
Speaker 1: Mitch Johnson, the Spurs coach Saturday night in the locker
6:01
Speaker 1: room in Oklahoma City, oh Day, class of two thousand
6:03
Speaker 1: and four. Mitch Johnson, two time Washington State High school
6:07
Speaker 1: champion MVP of the state tournament as a senior twenty
6:09
Speaker 1: two years agoing to Tacomadome. Mitch Johnson was holding the
6:12
Speaker 1: Western Conference Championship trophy in the Spurs locker room Saturday
6:15
Speaker 1: night in Oklahoma City, while wearing a T shirt that
6:18
Speaker 1: had won a picture of Jimmy Hendricks on it that
6:21
Speaker 1: caught my eye, the Seattle Legend, the Immortal and Jimmy
6:25
Speaker 1: Hendricks was wearing a nineteen seventy zero Sonics jersey, the
6:28
Speaker 1: white with the Sonics green arched green, Sonics green and white,
6:36
Speaker 1: and he was wearing number twenty seven. It turns out
6:39
Speaker 1: the number twenty seven was the number that Mitch Johnson's father,
6:42
Speaker 1: John Johnson, wore as a starting forward on that nineteen
6:45
Speaker 1: seventy nine Sonics championship team. This was Mitch Johnson while
6:49
Speaker 1: wearing that jersey, while holding that trophy in the locker
6:52
Speaker 1: room in Oklahoma City, talking to his Spurs players Saturday night.
6:55
Speaker 3: Talked about a thousand blows and you may not get
6:58
Speaker 3: what you want out of those thousands blows, but they're
7:00
Speaker 3: going to lead to what you want. We have started
7:03
Speaker 3: to get better at that. What an accomplishment of what
7:06
Speaker 3: we just did being the defending champs on the road
7:09
Speaker 3: seven games through all that that we've been that sounds
7:12
Speaker 3: like a whole lot of experience to me.
7:15
Speaker 1: That's Mitch Johnson talking to his player. Mitch Johnson who
7:19
Speaker 1: I heard Spencer Hawes on my drive in today talking
7:21
Speaker 1: to Chuck Powell about how Mitch Johnson was overshadown on
7:25
Speaker 1: his AAU team as a team because he had John
7:28
Speaker 1: Brockman as a teammate. Martell Webster was on that AAU
7:31
Speaker 1: team that Mitch Johnson was on. Mitch Johnson ended up
7:34
Speaker 1: signing a scholarship and played basketball at Stanford, and he
7:38
Speaker 1: went to Europe to play basketball for a while, and
7:40
Speaker 1: he began his coaching career in the G League, and
7:43
Speaker 1: he up and moved his family to Austin, Texas, and
7:45
Speaker 1: that's where he began his coaching career in the G
7:48
Speaker 1: League and now in his first year of coaching the Spurs,
7:52
Speaker 1: he's in the NBA Finals. This will be the eighth
7:54
Speaker 1: straight season with a new NBA champion at extends the
7:58
Speaker 1: longest streak in league history. Plus it's the fourth straight
8:01
Speaker 1: season two new teams are in the NBA Finals. That's
8:03
Speaker 1: pretty cool, a little freshness for your league, Chris, that's
8:07
Speaker 1: the first time that's ever happened. So last it's Knick
8:09
Speaker 1: Spurs of course this year, thunder Pacers last year. Then
8:11
Speaker 1: it was Celtics Mavericks the year before that, and Nuggets heat.
8:14
Speaker 1: Those are all different matchups. Then the first time with
8:17
Speaker 1: two new teams in the finals. Then it happened again
8:19
Speaker 1: this year. So how'd they do it? Chris? I mean
8:23
Speaker 1: I heard web Benyama wasn't exactly domin though he had
8:25
Speaker 1: a great game. He wasn't like take over the game.
8:28
Speaker 1: How did they do it? Over?
8:29
Speaker 2: But he was the tone setter right he is. And
8:32
Speaker 2: they did it through defense, physicality, sliding their feet, playing
8:37
Speaker 2: as a team. I mean he shut down chet Holmgren.
8:40
Speaker 2: Dude played like thirty plus minutes and had two shot attempts.
8:46
Speaker 1: Like That's he didn't do it with the numbers.
8:49
Speaker 2: He didn't drop forty and have twenty rebounds. But his presence,
8:53
Speaker 2: his ability to slide his feet and test shots, it
8:56
Speaker 2: brought out the best in everybody else. You can look
8:59
Speaker 2: at the roster and he named it. You're like, oh
9:00
Speaker 2: my gosh. These guys stepped up, making big shots, making
9:03
Speaker 2: big plays. Luke Cornett had an amazing chase down block
9:07
Speaker 2: on Isaiah Isaiah Harkenstein. It was an incredible play. And
9:12
Speaker 2: Luke Cornett is not the most athletic dude on the court,
9:15
Speaker 2: but when you watch that replay of him sprinting back
9:17
Speaker 2: on defense and him pinning that ball.
9:19
Speaker 1: Did see that? Yeah, Like that is the heart of
9:22
Speaker 1: a champion.
9:22
Speaker 2: Now, granted he's won a championship, he won it with
9:25
Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics, but now he's here with a new team,
9:27
Speaker 2: a young team that is just as hungry and just
9:29
Speaker 2: as talented, and they have their leader in Victor. I
9:32
Speaker 2: think everyone just could sense the moment and they relished it.
9:35
Speaker 2: They attacked it, and they got it done. And you
9:37
Speaker 2: also got to give credit to Mitch Johnson for having
9:40
Speaker 2: these young guys ready to play.
9:41
Speaker 1: On the road. They didn't play at home.
9:43
Speaker 2: They were on the road against a team that is
9:46
Speaker 2: for the past two seasons been really dominant at home,
9:48
Speaker 2: and they prove that they are ready for this moment.
9:53
Speaker 2: Victor Wibenyama is proving that he's ready to be the
9:56
Speaker 2: face of this next of this league if he hasn't
9:59
Speaker 2: done so already. And you just saw the defending champion
10:02
Speaker 2: Thunder just failed to get consistent buckets after maybe going
10:07
Speaker 2: on a run. The Spurs had an answer after every
10:09
Speaker 2: single time, whether it was victor, whether it's Darren Fox, Johnson,
10:13
Speaker 2: you name it. Multiple players stepped up stefan Castle with
10:16
Speaker 2: huge clutch shots, vessel, same type thing. Everyone did their part,
10:21
Speaker 2: played their role. And while if you're a Thunder fan,
10:25
Speaker 2: which none are existing in Seattle, that might have been heartbreaking,
10:27
Speaker 2: especially for a team that won sixty plus games, but
10:30
Speaker 2: for the Spurs it felt like the beginning of the
10:34
Speaker 2: women Yama era. And for the Spurs that survived and
10:38
Speaker 2: again a hostile environment to just do it on the
10:40
Speaker 2: road and do it so efficiently and looked they looked
10:43
Speaker 2: the part. They didn't look like they didn't belong Usually
10:45
Speaker 2: you'll see some young teams. Yeah, for example Detroit Pistons,
10:48
Speaker 2: they didn't look like they belonged. No, they didn't. They
10:50
Speaker 2: just looked young. They didn't have that experience. But you
10:53
Speaker 2: could say the same about the Spurs. But oh, No,
10:55
Speaker 2: they looked prepared and ready, and you gotta give a
10:57
Speaker 2: lot of credit to that team and Mitch Johnson for
10:59
Speaker 2: having them boys ready to go on the road and
11:00
Speaker 2: get it done.
11:01
Speaker 1: When you say play defense, I mean that alone gets
11:03
Speaker 1: my attention. Yeah, there you could. I could show you
11:06
Speaker 1: six seven plays where the Spurs are just defending at
11:10
Speaker 1: an elite level, and they've done it throughout the series.
11:12
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just got to tip your hat to the
11:14
Speaker 1: offensive player for making an incredible shot, but those shots
11:17
Speaker 1: weren't falling on in that game. It just didn't go
11:20
Speaker 1: their way, and you got to give credit where credit
11:22
Speaker 1: is due, and they've earned that. So I think they're
11:24
Speaker 1: gonna en up winning the championship. They will be tested
11:27
Speaker 1: against this Knicks team that is also good defensively, and
11:29
Speaker 1: they have some guys that can get to the basket
11:31
Speaker 1: and score. But I think Victor is just he's a
11:34
Speaker 1: game changer man.
11:35
Speaker 2: You don't have seven four dudes that are able to
11:38
Speaker 2: do what he's doing, and it just makes that much
11:40
Speaker 2: more of a challenge. And also read a piece by
11:43
Speaker 2: an athletic reporter that actually he was writing that Jamal
11:48
Speaker 2: Crawford and Winbiyama they had had a meal before. I
11:52
Speaker 2: think it was game. I don't remember which game it was.
11:54
Speaker 2: But nonetheless, Jamal's actually working with Wombin Yama on his handles.
11:58
Speaker 2: So some of these things that you're seeing shout out
12:01
Speaker 2: to Jamal crawp for getting that opportunity to work with
12:04
Speaker 2: women Yama and build his game, because that was something
12:06
Speaker 2: that they wanted to add to. And Jamal actually reached
12:08
Speaker 2: out to Greg Papovitch and Papa was like, that's a
12:10
Speaker 2: great idea, man, get him in the lab with you,
12:13
Speaker 2: work on his game and let's see where can go
12:15
Speaker 2: to the next level. And there was a point from
12:17
Speaker 2: the story where Victor saw a matchup one on one
12:20
Speaker 2: and Jamal caught it. Oh yeah, he's gonna attack him.
12:22
Speaker 2: He sees it. It's food, and what do you know?
12:24
Speaker 2: It was a bucket right then and there. And that
12:26
Speaker 2: was just an example of because I didn't know that
12:28
Speaker 2: cool fact that Jamal had taken the time to have
12:31
Speaker 2: lunch with him and then also after lunch go out
12:34
Speaker 2: and work on their game, work on his game. So
12:36
Speaker 2: that's just a really cool nugget there that Jamal, who's
12:38
Speaker 2: now calling games on the broadcast, actually got some time
12:41
Speaker 2: with Wimby to work on his skills set, and it's
12:44
Speaker 2: just really cool to see it grow. And now he's
12:45
Speaker 2: on the biggest stage at the NBA Finals, and he's healthy.
12:49
Speaker 2: So I think this is a great opportunity for a
12:52
Speaker 2: new era, a new dawn of the NBA. And you're
12:54
Speaker 2: looking at one of the new guys, new faces, and
12:56
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Victor and a couple other
12:58
Speaker 2: young guys.
13:00
Speaker 1: Why are we talking about the Spurs so much? Is one.
13:02
Speaker 1: They're the heroes, Mitch Johnson and women and Yama the
13:04
Speaker 1: heroes for taking down the anti Sonics the Thunder. But
13:08
Speaker 1: to to your point, Chris, they're so young and women
13:10
Speaker 1: yam is still so young, and Mitch Johnson's first year's coach.
13:14
Speaker 1: These cats are still going to be around on the
13:15
Speaker 1: Western Conference when this new Sonics come back. Yeah, any
13:19
Speaker 1: fun twenty Yeah, yeah, twenty twenty eight, there's Johnson back
13:21
Speaker 1: in Seattle. What's up, man, exactly? Take it easy on
13:24
Speaker 1: us for a new for a new team. Yeah, the
13:27
Speaker 1: NBA expansion prices, we could talk about that. Don Ian
13:29
Speaker 1: has talked about this a few times. It's going to
13:31
Speaker 1: take a while for the Sonics to be really good.
13:34
Speaker 1: I mean, NBA expansion process takes a start. Try to
13:37
Speaker 1: find that fifteen year old that's doing really well right now.
13:39
Speaker 2: He might be our number one. He might be the
13:41
Speaker 2: guy that helps bring us back to the postseason.
13:44
Speaker 1: That's right. But yes, the Spurs are going to be
13:47
Speaker 1: around when the Sonics come back and start playing again.
13:50
Speaker 1: But Mitch Johnson is yeah, he really. The shirt was
13:53
Speaker 1: really cool to Jimmy Hendrick. For those of you knew
13:56
Speaker 1: to Seattle, Yes, Jimmy Hendrick's absolute legend. Yes, I realized
13:58
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hendricks wasn't alive and eighteen seventy nine when the
14:00
Speaker 1: Sonics won, and that was a conflagration of the Tricks
14:05
Speaker 1: for wearing his dad's jersey number twenty seven, other than
14:08
Speaker 1: seventy nine Sonics team. But if you had new to Seattle,
14:11
Speaker 1: go up to Capitol Hill and there's a shrine to
14:13
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hendricks right along Broadway, a small statue in a
14:17
Speaker 1: plaque for Jimmy Hendricks former Army.
14:20
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I have breaking news for you. This
14:24
Speaker 2: is insane and this is actually real rap sheet. I Rappaport,
14:29
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter. The Browns are finalizing a trade that will
14:32
Speaker 2: send two time Defensive Player of the Year Miles Garrett
14:35
Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Rams.
14:37
Speaker 1: Holy bleep, I was being I heard talk that the
14:42
Speaker 1: Rams are going to offer a like herschel Walker type
14:44
Speaker 1: package all their draft from Miles Garrett. It was wow.
14:50
Speaker 1: The talking Cleveland was that it would be a post
14:52
Speaker 1: June one move for salary cap purposes. And here are
14:54
Speaker 1: the places here.
14:55
Speaker 2: In first here it is Jared versus a first rounder
14:58
Speaker 2: and more so we'll find out out as the morning
15:01
Speaker 2: goes on, but Jared Verse and more.
15:03
Speaker 1: I was hearing that it could be a herschel Walker
15:06
Speaker 1: type hall where you get an entire draft on top
15:09
Speaker 1: of a player. Oh my goodness, Miles Garrett, the NFL
15:14
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Year to the Rams. That'll give
15:19
Speaker 1: Brian Flurry and the Seahawks offense something. Oh man, that's
15:22
Speaker 1: at least they lose Verse.
15:24
Speaker 2: But I mean, you just gained arguably the best player
15:27
Speaker 2: in the NFL on your defense Like that is insane.
15:30
Speaker 1: Thanks for breaking in with that. Coming up, we'll have
15:33

Speaker 2: was their issue and now you now you got Trent McDuffie,
15:48

17:06
Speaker 1: the Seahawks chief impediment.
17:08
Speaker 2: To get back to the Super Bowl. This is gonna

Speaker 2: be a fun game between these two teams. I can't wait.

Speaker 2: to wait till Christmas.
17:21
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, the Rams are definitely coming after the Seahawks,
17:25
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Welcome back to the Greg Mellt Show
17:36
Speaker 1: with Christopher k Live a ninety three point three KJRFM.
17:39
Speaker 1: Happy Monday to you. Breaking news in the NFL, multiple
17:44
Speaker 1: reports now, Tom Pella Saro's in on it, Adam Schefter
17:48
Speaker 1: and rapaport. The Cleveland Browns are trading two time NFL
17:52
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year Miles Garrett to the Los
17:56
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. The Rams are sending Jared Verse, a first
18:00
Speaker 1: round pick next year, and a host of other picks
18:02
Speaker 1: still to be feded out. It's not even been fifteen
18:07
Speaker 1: months yet, Chris, and only one season. He hasn't even
18:10
Speaker 1: played under the four year, one hundred and forty million
18:13
Speaker 1: dollar extension at Miles Garrett signed with the Browns in
18:17
Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty five. He still has four years
18:20
Speaker 1: left on that deal. This is such a go for
18:24
Speaker 1: it move for the Rams. Obviously. This is the age
18:26
Speaker 1: thirty one season for Miles Garrett coming up in twenty
18:29
Speaker 1: twenty six, but his salaries the way they've structured a
18:33
Speaker 1: new contract the way the Browns game. They gave him
18:35
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three million dollars one hundred and
18:37
Speaker 1: twenty three and a half million dollars guaranteed in that deal,
18:42
Speaker 1: but he hasn't even realized the first season of that
18:44
Speaker 1: four year extension yet. His base salaries for the next
18:47
Speaker 1: three seasons, including this one coming up, are just one
18:49
Speaker 1: point three million dollars. And then in twenty twenty nine,
18:53
Speaker 1: when he's thirty four, it jumps to thirty million is
18:55
Speaker 1: base salary. So that's the structure. That's the tip point.
19:00
Speaker 1: The Browns would figure they would restructure or release Miles
19:03
Speaker 1: Garrett if he's playing those dived as he headed into
19:07
Speaker 1: his mid thirties. Again this the Rams are going for
19:10
Speaker 1: it with Matthew Stafford his age thirty seven, thirty eight
19:13
Speaker 1: year old quarterback with a bad back, and they're going
19:17
Speaker 1: for it. And Jared Ver Why would you have to
19:20
Speaker 1: be Jared Verse right now? Cut it? I would be
19:23
Speaker 1: So I'm just like, what what.
19:26
Speaker 2: At least a team wants men want me?
19:30
Speaker 3: Oh?
19:30
Speaker 2: Man, that's that's a tough break. But I mean, hey,
19:33
Speaker 2: you were part of the biggest trade in I don't
19:36
Speaker 2: know who. Yeah, so I guess there's some that's something
19:40
Speaker 2: to smile about.
19:41
Speaker 1: They thought highly of me, man, So yes, you wonder
19:46
Speaker 1: how the Rams can do this well? The Browns moved
19:50
Speaker 1: around some contract milestone dates for bonuses for Miles Garrett
19:55
Speaker 1: in this offseason. They were supposed to be doing March
19:58
Speaker 1: and then they moved it around to the summer. Just
20:01
Speaker 1: before the Sea at the end of training camp, some
20:03
Speaker 1: milestone bonuses, and those bonuses having not yet kicked in,
20:07
Speaker 1: made it easier for him to trade, made the Brown
20:10
Speaker 1: easier for the Browns to trade Miles Garrett. And here
20:13
Speaker 1: we're talking about AJ Brown from the Eagles to the
20:16
Speaker 1: Patriots all spring post June one deal, and then on
20:19
Speaker 1: June one, the morning of June one, we get word
20:21
Speaker 1: it's Miles Garrett, not AJ Brown, the first huge superstar
20:25
Speaker 1: traded post June one. So again, what's this post June
20:28
Speaker 1: one have to do with it? Well, NFL Collective Bardney
20:31
Speaker 1: Agreement allows teams to defer the remaining bonuses on a
20:36
Speaker 1: contract across multiple years after June first. If you account
20:41
Speaker 1: for that after June first, you can kick that can
20:44
Speaker 1: down the road a couple of years. When you trade
20:46
Speaker 1: a player, the trading team gets a salary cap acceleration
20:51
Speaker 1: of the remaining peroration of the signing bonus onto its cap.
20:56
Speaker 1: If you do it an account for it before June first,
20:58
Speaker 1: all that excep ration becomes due now this year against
21:02
Speaker 1: your cap. The Browns making this move after June first
21:05
Speaker 1: means all their acceleration money of the signing bonus gets
21:09
Speaker 1: kicked on to successive seasons and they can spread it out.
21:13
Speaker 1: He had a twenty one million dollars signing bone. So
21:15
Speaker 1: while he had one hundred and forty million dollar contract,
21:18
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three and a half of it
21:19
Speaker 1: guaranteed only twenty one million in signing bonus, So twenty
21:23
Speaker 1: one million over four years. That's roughly five million dollars
21:26
Speaker 1: a year. So the Browns acceleration is not going to
21:29
Speaker 1: come do fifteen plus million dollars left on the pro
21:32
Speaker 1: rated signing bonus for the next three years is not
21:34
Speaker 1: going to come do all at once to them because
21:36
Speaker 1: they waited till after June first. I hope it didn't
21:38
Speaker 1: get you in the weeds on all that, but that's
21:40
Speaker 1: the reason why June first is is a signature day
21:44
Speaker 1: for these type of moves in the NFL, and the
21:46
Speaker 1: size of the contracts win. But the text line already
21:50
Speaker 1: four nine four to five one intocomatade text line already
21:52
Speaker 1: lighting up with the Rams are just going for it. Obviously,
21:57
Speaker 1: the four two five says the Seahawks are trade for first.
22:00
Speaker 2: Now the Seahawks D line is good, I don't I
22:04
Speaker 2: think it's just now the offensive line is gonna have
22:07
Speaker 2: fun dealing with the Rams d line. I'm not saying
22:09
Speaker 2: you couldn't add to it, but shout out to the Rams.
22:12
Speaker 2: They're going for Yeah, they really are. I mean, at
22:14
Speaker 2: this point, how can they not going defeated, Well, because they.
22:17
Speaker 1: Have Seahawks on the schedule twice for one thing. But yeah,
22:20
Speaker 1: that's so hard to do in the NFL. But yeah,
22:23
Speaker 1: you're right, Chris. They address their biggest weakness in the secondary.
22:26
Speaker 2: And now they just try. They just said, let's just
22:30
Speaker 2: multiply and be even better.
22:31
Speaker 1: Like, excuse me. The most the most game impacting position
22:35
Speaker 1: on defense is rushing the quarterback obviously in this league,
22:38
Speaker 1: and now they've got the best one in the league
22:41
Speaker 1: doing it. The downside, of course, the one red flag
22:44
Speaker 1: is that he's turning thirty one in his age thirty
22:47
Speaker 1: one season, So how many more years are you going
22:49
Speaker 1: to get defensive player of the Year type play from
22:51
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and the Rams obviously don't think he'll be.
22:56
Speaker 1: They're not thinking about four years from now at the
22:58
Speaker 1: end of this contract. They're thinking about right now when
23:00
Speaker 1: he's aged thirty one, coming off two time defending Defensive
23:03
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, the sack record and all of that.
23:06
Speaker 1: Four com a Dodge text on your reaction to the Seahawks'
23:09
Speaker 1: biggest rival, their biggest impediment to the Super Bowl acquiring
23:13
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns. The Rams getting Miles
23:16
Speaker 1: Garrett in the trade from the Cleveland Browns. If you
23:17
Speaker 1: missed it, that's the breaking news of the moment. Who
23:20
Speaker 1: knows what else the morning will have in store for us.
23:24
Speaker 1: This piggybag the most unpopular but yet successful thing going
23:28
Speaker 1: for the first place. Mariners worked yesterday, Bryce Miller five innings,
23:33
Speaker 1: one hit, only a single, no runs. It was like, okay,
23:37
Speaker 1: they're going to take them. At least they didn't take
23:39
Speaker 1: him out before the end of the fifth inning like
23:40
Speaker 1: they did Castillo in Sacramento and costs Castillo a win.
23:43
Speaker 1: You had him five winnings as a starter to qualify
23:46
Speaker 1: for a win. The Mariners learned their lesson there. They
23:49
Speaker 1: take Meller out after the fifth inning, and of course
23:53
Speaker 1: Castillo comes in and a walk, a hit in a
23:56
Speaker 1: wild pitch. Oh boy, and now we have something else?
24:00
Speaker 1: Is just this is insane. I can't keep up. Yeah,
24:02
Speaker 1: Emily Caplain of ESPN is reporting, go ahead.
24:06
Speaker 2: Chris Melinda French Gates is joining the Seattle Kraken as
24:10
Speaker 2: a minority investor. The move pairs one of the world's
24:14
Speaker 2: most influential philanthropics and philanthropists and business leaders with Cracken
24:20
Speaker 2: majority owner Samantha Holloway, one of the few women to
24:24
Speaker 2: serve as an NHL principal owner.
24:26
Speaker 1: Wow, this is from Emily Caplain of ESPN, there NHL
24:30
Speaker 1: hockey reporter. But okay, Melinda Gates, you talk about, oh, yes,
24:40
Speaker 1: a whale of an investor, literally a whale, one of
24:43
Speaker 1: the richest people in the world. I'm pretty sure she's
24:47
Speaker 1: joining I haven't read the story. I'm pretty sure she's
24:50
Speaker 1: joining One Sports, One Roof Sports and Entertainment, which is
24:52
Speaker 1: the umbrella organization that Samantha Halloway has created not only
24:57
Speaker 1: to own the Kraken, not only to run Climate Pledgerina,
25:00
Speaker 1: but guess what, to own the Sonics when they come back.
25:04
Speaker 1: So I'm reading this to be Melinda Gates is going
25:06
Speaker 1: to be heavily involved in the ownership of not only
25:09
Speaker 1: the Kracking, but of the Sonics. And does that not
25:12
Speaker 1: give heft to One Roof's bid to be the Sonics
25:17
Speaker 1: owner when and if the NBA approves that this year,
25:21
Speaker 1: You've got one of the richest people in the world.
25:23
Speaker 1: Now back and you own the arena that is ready
25:25
Speaker 1: made for the NBA. Here in Seattle, they built Oakview
25:30
Speaker 1: Group Todd Lay, Wickie's brother, the group built climate Pledge
25:34
Speaker 1: arena and NBA specifications for this happenstance. And now they've
25:37
Speaker 1: got Melinda Gates behind it. Wow, she'll probably be a
25:44
Speaker 1: primary financier of the Sonics bid. I cannot imagine that
25:47
Speaker 1: they would Samantha Holloway would bring her under one Sports
25:51
Speaker 1: and Entertainment and say, well, don't worry about the Sonics thing.
25:53
Speaker 1: We got this. This is definitely not just the crack
25:56
Speaker 1: and but Emily Kaplan is a hockey writer, so she's
25:59
Speaker 1: writing for from the cracking perspective. But the bigger story
26:02
Speaker 1: here in Seattle to me about this is that Melinda
26:05
Speaker 1: Gates just joined the Sonics Investment Group. And if there
26:10
Speaker 1: are indeed multiple bids for the Sonics, how can you
26:14
Speaker 1: not think that, if you're an NBA owner and the
26:16
Speaker 1: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, that the Samantha Hallaway Melinda Gates
26:20
Speaker 1: bid is stronger than anybody else's. Not only is she
26:23
Speaker 1: one of the richest women and whichest people in the world.
26:25
Speaker 1: They own the arena that's already ready made to start planning.
26:30
Speaker 1: So that's breaking news number two. Or what else we
26:32
Speaker 1: got and we eat ted Copplelan here can you go
26:35
Speaker 1: another hour? Ten minutes after Miles Garrett reports of Miles
26:39
Speaker 1: Garrett breaking news reported Miles Garrett traded from the brand
26:43
Speaker 1: the Bronze to the Rams for Jared Vers, a first
26:46
Speaker 1: round pick and a bunch of other things. Ten minutes later,
26:49
Speaker 1: Emily Kaplin of ESPN Chris is now breaking in with
26:53
Speaker 1: the hockey writer for ESPN reporting that Melinda Gates is
26:57
Speaker 1: joining excuse me one roof Sports and Entertainment as a
27:01
Speaker 1: minority investor. She joins about a half dozen high profile
27:05
Speaker 1: minority investor David Bonderman, Marshawn Lynch. But if she's joining
27:10
Speaker 1: one Roo Sports Entertainment, Melinda Gates is going to be
27:13
Speaker 1: instrumental in the bid to get the Sonics back to Seattle.
27:16
Speaker 1: And that is the carrot to the NBA of saying, here,
27:21
Speaker 1: approve our bid. We got we got it, we got
27:24
Speaker 1: we got everybody on board. Here we go. Well, all
27:28
Speaker 1: this is very interesting because there were some people that
27:31
Speaker 1: were thinking that Melinda Gates might invest in the Seahawks. Oh,
27:36
Speaker 1: by the way, the Super Bowl champions are still for sale.
27:39
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on here, Chris, this is just insane.
27:44
Speaker 1: I don't breaking show of record.
27:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe the Seahaws make a trade in the next
27:50
Speaker 2: twenty minutes.
27:51
Speaker 1: I'm like, Holy moly, the Seahawks for Jared Verse. According
27:54
Speaker 1: to the Fortunes movie.
27:55
Speaker 2: Man, that would be like, okay, all right, look at that.
27:58
Speaker 2: You're back in the NFC west Man. Wow, Well, shout
28:03
Speaker 2: out to miss Gates. There it is, man, This is yeah.
28:07
Speaker 1: Emily if you missed it. Emily Kaplan on ESPN dot
28:10
Speaker 1: com reporting that Melinda Gates is becoming an investor in
28:14
Speaker 1: the Kraken in one Sports, One roof Sports and Entertainment,
28:18
Speaker 1: Samantha holloways, organization that will run not only the Crack
28:22
Speaker 1: and not only climb a Pledge, Aina, but be the
28:24
Speaker 1: Bitter for the Sonics. A bitter and I would think
28:28
Speaker 1: now the most attractive bitter. And you talk about a
28:31
Speaker 1: whale coming into beach on Seattle Center. Melinda Gates is
28:37
Speaker 1: now part of the investment group for One roof Sports
28:40
Speaker 1: and Entertainment. That is big news here in Seattle coinciding
28:46
Speaker 1: with other big news that the seahawks chief rival, the
28:48
Speaker 1: Rams just got Miles Garrett in a trade from Cleveland. Man,
28:53
Speaker 1: where do we start? We could do both, you know
28:56
Speaker 1: what we should do?
28:57
Speaker 2: We should go to a break and try to put
28:58
Speaker 2: all this in two words for the next segment.
29:01
Speaker 1: I guess coming up. We'll react to this and more.
29:05
Speaker 1: What it means for the Sonics, what it means for
29:07
Speaker 1: the Kraken, what it means for the Seahawks, All of
29:09
Speaker 1: Seattle's teams all at one time. On a breaking news
29:13
Speaker 1: Monday on ninety three point three KJRFM. Welcome back to
29:21
Speaker 1: the Greg Belt Show at Christopher Kid Live on ninety
29:23
Speaker 1: three point three KJRFM. What's going to happen next? Within
29:27
Speaker 1: the last half hour, the Cleveland Browns have agreed to
29:31
Speaker 1: trade Miles Garrett, the two time defensive player of the Year,
29:33
Speaker 1: to the Los Angeles Rams, giving the Seahawks something else
29:36
Speaker 1: to deal with in the NFC West and their hope
29:38
Speaker 1: to get back to the Super Bowl. And then ten
29:40
Speaker 1: minutes after that, Emily Kaplan of ESPN, the hockey reporter
29:45
Speaker 1: ringside reporter for ESPNO, is about to cover has been
29:49
Speaker 1: covering the Stanley Cup Playoffs heading to the Stanley Cup Final.
29:52
Speaker 1: Emily Kaplan reporting that Melinda French Gates is joining One
29:57
Speaker 1: roof Sports and Entertainment's ownership group of not only the Kraken,
30:01
Speaker 1: not only Climate Pledge Arena, but that group that's going
30:04
Speaker 1: to make a bid for the Sonics. This is the
30:06
Speaker 1: first time that one of the richest people in the world,
30:09
Speaker 1: Melinda French Gates, is owning a sports team of any kind.
30:13
Speaker 1: She told ESPN. Melinda French Gates did quote, I see
30:16
Speaker 1: this incredible opportunity that sports plays for community, to bring
30:20
Speaker 1: people together. When I met Samantha Halloway that is, and
30:24
Speaker 1: learned about her leadership, her background in tech, and her
30:27
Speaker 1: innovative ways she approaches challenges, it felt like a natural
30:30
Speaker 1: fit for me. It's just time, French Gates told Emily
30:34
Speaker 1: Kaplin of ESPN of investing in sports, what you're seeing
30:37
Speaker 1: is a generation of women coming through into their full power.
30:40
Speaker 1: I've walked into tough rooms and being one of the
30:41
Speaker 1: few is very hard. Once we can create enough of
30:45
Speaker 1: that we're one of many, it just gets easier. She
30:48
Speaker 1: also talked about one roof Sports and Entertainment and about
30:53
Speaker 1: the future of sports in Seattle, and Samantha Halloway is
30:59
Speaker 1: talking about the same thing, specifically about the Sonic. Samantha
31:02
Speaker 1: Halloway to Emily capin a ESPN upon bringing on Melinda
31:06
Speaker 1: French Gates as an investor in the Kraken and in
31:09
Speaker 1: one roos Sports and Entertainment, Samantha Halloway told Emily capin quote,
31:12
Speaker 1: the city of Seattle certainly could use an NBA team,
31:15
Speaker 1: and the fans are here ready for it. If that happens,
31:18
Speaker 1: they will all buy their cracking friends beers because it
31:20
Speaker 1: wouldn't happen without them. So we are hopeful. We are
31:24
Speaker 1: working on it, and stay tuned. Make no mistake, Melinda
31:29
Speaker 1: French Gates investing in one roof Sports and Entertainment is
31:32
Speaker 1: a nod not only to a minority stake and owning
31:35
Speaker 1: the Kraken, but in a minority stake in the bid,
31:39
Speaker 1: perhaps even larger than minority stake in a bid to
31:42
Speaker 1: the NBA to bring the Sonics back in a couple
31:45
Speaker 1: of years. That vote is supposed to happen potentially by
31:48
Speaker 1: the fall and the end of announced potentially by the
31:51
Speaker 1: end of the year. And I mentioned there was talk
31:55
Speaker 1: in some business circles in NFL circles that Melinda French
31:58
Speaker 1: Gates might be interested in becoming an investor in bidding
32:01
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. That's someone who the ten billion dollar
32:05
Speaker 1: price tag for the Seahawks wouldn't phase at all. But
32:09
Speaker 1: now she's investing instead on the Kraken a minority owner
32:14
Speaker 1: of one sports roof in entertainment, and almost assuredly yes,
32:18
Speaker 1: she will be a part of the Sonics the effort
32:19
Speaker 1: to bring the Sonics back that Samantha Halloway is already chairing.
32:23
Speaker 1: She already owns the building. It makes a very attractive
32:28
Speaker 1: bid already very attractive, make it even more attractive to
32:31
Speaker 1: the NBA to accept. So we had dual tracks here.
32:36
Speaker 1: The Miles Garrett news to the Rams is, I mean
32:39
Speaker 1: you talk about an all in move. That's the definition
32:42
Speaker 1: of an all in move. And they didn't beat the
32:45
Speaker 1: Seahawks when they had to. They lost to them on
32:47
Speaker 1: of course the overtime game and the regular season that
32:50
Speaker 1: ended up costing them the number one overall seed. In
32:52
Speaker 1: that game, the Rams blowing a sixteen point lead to
32:55
Speaker 1: the Seahawks here in Seattle on a Thursday night in December,
32:58
Speaker 1: is why the NFC Championship game was in Seattle and
33:01
Speaker 1: not in Inglewood, and then the Seahawks winning that thirty
33:04
Speaker 1: one to twenty seven in late January to get the
33:07
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty. So the Rams think, if we just
33:09
Speaker 1: beat the Seahawks, we're going to the Super Bowl. And
33:12
Speaker 1: why not? I mean, that's so that's pretty clear that
33:16
Speaker 1: the Rams have targeted the Seahawks. So they're bringing Miles
33:20
Speaker 1: Garrett from Cleveland to run after Sam Darnold in their
33:23
Speaker 1: two meetings, the first one being on Christmas Night here
33:26
Speaker 1: in Seattle five to fifteen national TV NBC game, and
33:29
Speaker 1: then the second one being in week eighteen, that could
33:31
Speaker 1: decide the whole thing, including number one seed if the
33:34
Speaker 1: two teams seasons go as they thinking that. But this
33:38
Speaker 1: is an all in move. It's age thirty eight year
33:40
Speaker 1: for Matthew Stafford. We detailed the contract situation for Miles
33:44
Speaker 1: Garrett in his age thirty one season. They trade away
33:47
Speaker 1: a top outside, one of the best, probably maybe the
33:50
Speaker 1: best young edge rusher in the league, and Jared versu
33:53
Speaker 1: is going to Cleveland as part of this deal. Your
33:56
Speaker 1: reaction to all of this, does this make the Rams unbeatable?
33:59
Speaker 1: As some of you on the tax liner, saying four
34:01
Speaker 1: nine four five one the komodage tax line. We'll read
34:03
Speaker 1: the back at eleven thirty. Also your reaction to Melinda
34:06
Speaker 1: French Gates joining KRACK and ownership one roof sports and
34:10
Speaker 1: entertainment ownership of Samantha Halloway per Emily Kaplan in the
34:14
Speaker 1: story that just broke about twenty minutes ago, and what
34:18
Speaker 1: that does to the bid to get the Seahawks back here.
34:20
Speaker 1: And I mean, it seems to me there's no way
34:22
Speaker 1: now that Samantha Halloways group cannot be considered the front
34:26
Speaker 1: runner to land the Sonics and get them back here
34:28
Speaker 1: and play in climate pledge arena that she owns. And
34:32
Speaker 1: Melinda French Gates is now going to be a huge
34:35
Speaker 1: whale behind that effort, not only in the Crack and
34:39
Speaker 1: the Sonics. Chris, this is a great day for Seattle sports.
34:45
Speaker 1: If you like the KRACK and you like the NBA.
34:49
Speaker 1: It's a concerning day. If you're a Seahawks fan, I
34:52
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, concerning, but competition is what you want.
34:56
Speaker 1: Let me say noticeable day. Maybe not concerning, but you
34:58
Speaker 1: definitely notice right. Don was like, yes, I won all
35:01
Speaker 1: of this true, not around Yeah, that's great. Bring him in.
35:05
Speaker 2: You know you want to get the incredible hole. That's
35:07

Speaker 2: the put the pads on, Let's see who Let's see
35:12
Speaker 2: who's best.
35:12
Speaker 1: Over sixteen minutes. I was told that John Schneider was
35:16
Speaker 1: talking to the Browns about what it would take to
35:18
Speaker 1: get absolutely here. John Snutter.
35:20
Speaker 2: He as you've talked about at nauseum. John Sutter makes calls. Yes,
35:25
Speaker 2: whether or not he makes the deals different, but he
35:26
Speaker 2: makes calls.
35:27
Speaker 1: Yes, he does. Up next, we're going to San Antonio
