  Speaker 1: It's from pro Bouncy.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Ball and the guillotine has fallen.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Down, down, down, down down.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Now, the regular season ended on Sunday. There was nothing
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: basketball wise on Monday, and there's really nothing until the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: playoffs start this weekend.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And unless you're into the Fu.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Gasey Playing Tournament, which is ridiculous, that will be going
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: on starting on Tuesday.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: But the wings of change howling.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And we start out in the Grand Canyon State where
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: everything under the sun is in play at this point
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: everything under the sun. And if you have not been
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: following the game of musical chairs, by chance here maybe not.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: The Suns decided to whack. They played whack a mole.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They got rid of their coach, Mike Budenhozer. Coach Budd
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: gone see you later, persona non grada excommunicated from the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: team Phoenix missing the playoffs when everyone gets in the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: play suck bag teams getting the playoffs, and the Suns
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: could even get in the playing tournament, and so they're
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: out now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: In a prepared.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Statement released by some empty suit for the organization in Arizona,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: they said that competing at the highest level remains our goal,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and we failed to meet expectations this season. Our fans
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: deserve better. Change is needed close quote, which is a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: nice way of saying, we have no idea what we're doing.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: This didn't work, so we'll try something else. We're gonna
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: keep throwing pasta against the wall until something sticks. Okay, So,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: third consecutive, third consecutive offseason. That Matt Ishbia, the very
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: wealthy owner of the Phoenix pro bouncy ball team, is
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: in the business of trying to hire a coach. So
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: let us discuss and before we look ahead, we must
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: look back. So did Mike Budenholzer get a raw deal
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in Phoenix? Only there for one year and was in
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee when they won the championship. And when you win
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a title, you get that tag of having the championship
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: pedigree and all that, and so that's why the Sons
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: brought him in. As he lasted one year and then
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: he's kicked out. So I've got tug boat, Beverly Hills,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and Budweiser, and we will combine all of these things together,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: every single thing together, and we are going to make
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a cactus, which is what the Suns, through Mike Budenholzer
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: on a cacti is what they did right there, all
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the prickly cactus, little parts of it, enjoy all that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: So number number there we go. So you got to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: start up the band. Earlier, I said, numb burn, Well
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you know what this is. Okay, you know what season
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: this is? Now somebody's no, no, it's not the number one.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Someon would say it's spring, right, spraying, that time of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the year and all that stuff.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I would say it's the season of no as in,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: uh no, this was not a raw deal. Not a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: raw deal. Not a raw deal.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no no. And here's why,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: all right, this is the opposite of a raw deal.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: What this is for Mike Budenholzer is the American dream.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It is the American dream. It is a sweetheart deal.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: It is it's a sweetheart deal. Me explain why. Because
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: he is holding the winning lottery numbers to the Arizona Lottery.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: He's got him. And he didn't buy a lottery ticket.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: He just happened to get the ticket somehow it popped
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: into his hand, it did. Budenholder accepted a five year
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: contract for fifty million dead president's last offseason, so a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: year ago, less than a year ago. Now, he attempted
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to agree, signed the docu sign there, got the fifty
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: million dollar contract, and he's gone after one year.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: And unlike most regular jobs, where if you have a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: deal and you're done, that's it. You don't get a
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: bunch of money and you're gone and goodbye. In the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: cartoonish world of pro bouncy ball and professional sports, what
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: happened here in a landlocked state of Arizona, Mike Budenholzer
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: was given a tugboat. It was a golden tug boat,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and that golden tugboat to escape a sinking franchise, the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Pathetic Suns. And he was given forty million, forty million
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to not coach a bunch of Prima donna a whole players,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: And that was his gift. Does that sound like he
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: got if I said, listen, you got to put up
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: for for one year, you got to put up with this.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We'll get We'll get your forty million, and you don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: have to put up with it anymore, and you can
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: do whatever you want. You're good as long as you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: don't trash the team. You get the forty million done, done,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And but wait, there's more, As every great infomercial says,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: but wait, there's more. So Additionally, when he left the Bucks,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: he had he didn't leave the Bucks.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: He got let go.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: By the box, he had sixteen million that the Bucks
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: owed him approximately, So that means, based on just buyouts
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: from the Milwaukee and Phoenix basketball team, Budenholzer, by the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: time this deals up in Arizona, will have made fifty
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: six million to not coach pro bouncy ball, fifty six
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: million to sit on your ass and get hemorrhoids and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: not coach. Budenholzer is financially as snug as a bug
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: in the rug.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: He is good to go now, Patrito.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: So when you have a coaching change in the NBA,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: it always goes back to the players. There has never,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: in the modern era been a coaching change that was
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: not based on recommendations by the players. It doesn't happen.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: The players are the ones that drive the bus in
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: that business, and so which player shoulders the most blame
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: for Mike Budenhozer not working out? There a quick departure
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: from the Suns Now. The rumors for the last couple
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of months were that it was Kevin Durant, that Durant
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: was the schmuck and he was the problem. Well, now
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: we have a plot twist, and what is the plot twists?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Things thicken up here. So the plot twist is the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: whispers indicate that the palace intrigue is not focused on
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Kevin Durant. No, no, no, that this was an issue
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: with Devin Booker. The plot thickens. Yeah, Devin Booker supposedly
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: that Budenholzer has had issues connecting with the locker room
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: this season, which is really just some of the players
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: didn't like the way he was talking.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: That's that's how that goes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: And he did not resonate, did not motivate them to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: go out there and do things that you were supposed
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: to do, that you shouldn't need be to be told
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: what to do. But nonetheless, so apparently his charismatic I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: say that with a winking or not, his charismatic approach
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: did not win the room. So Budenholzer's main flaw, the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: biggest issue the Komodo dragon in the room for Mike
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Budenholzer was his inability to get on the same page
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: with Devin Booker. And he had the hutzba, as my
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: grandfather used to say, the hutzpa to try to tell
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Devin Booker to ix nay on the talk a just
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: tone it down a couple of decibel points.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Just tone it down a little bit and we'll be
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: good to go.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And and you would have thought that Mike Budenholzer had said,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: why don't we cut off your right foot and that'll
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: make the team better, And Devin Booker said, I like
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: my right foot.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to get rid of my
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: right foot.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I'd like to keep my right foot, So why don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: we not do that, and then there was a problem.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And it does remind me that this cartoon image in
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: my head, it's not a cartoon.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: It's actually a real movie.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: There's old movie Beverly Hills Cop back in the day,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and I think of that when I think of this,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: like the coach of the Sons going up to Devin
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Booker say you know, I'm here.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I want to make this thing work.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I just need you to not talk that much and
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: kind of tone it down a little bit, be one
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: of the leaders on the team. And then and then
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Devin Booker's like the character for Eddie Murphy in that movie,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the old movie Beverly Hills Cop, and he physically physically
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: blocks blocks the ears with his fingers and says.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: La la la la la la la la la la
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: la la la la. I'm not I can't hear you
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: la la la l like that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Just like that, There you go, and Devin, you are
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: what your record says you are. This guy is one
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: of the epic coach killers. In the end is very
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: bigger coach kill. We talk about Lebron James as a
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: coach killer, but Devin Booker not in a big media market.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: But Devin Booker, you talk about toxic. If you're a
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: head coach, holy crap. Oh man, if you're even.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: In the same room with this guy as a coach,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: you're in jeopardy of being fired.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: With Devin Booker. My god, it's unreal, the math on this.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Seven coaches in ten years, and most of the last
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: well the last part of that seven years or so,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Devin Booker has been a headliner for the Suns, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: so he's obviously somebody is not easy to work with,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and it's it's one of those things. But your main
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: job as a coach is just to lick the toes
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: of the star players. That's how you keep the job.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Coaches are completely irrelevant, yet they make it's such a
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: weird juxtaposition the NBA, because everyone agrees coaches don't matter,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: they don't do anything, yet they get paid ten million
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: dollars in some cases more than that per year, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: yet they're easily replaceable. Like it's not like, well, you
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: get rid of your top player. It's a big problem.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Every once, right, give rid of the coach, you bring
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: some other nerd in, like the Nuggets. The Nuggets had
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Michael Malone, who most people thought was a pretty good coach.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: They hired this beta Poindexter Nerd who's a NEPO baby,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: as the interim coach.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And then we'll figure it out.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: You know. It's like, it's like so bizarre that why
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: would you bother paying them that much. It's like the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: NFL determined running backs don't need to get paid a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: lot of money, so like only two or three running
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: backs get paid any money.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Everyone else gets paid peanuts. It's very bizarre.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: And congratulations to Matt Eshbia, you have assembled the worst
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: team that money could buy. NBA version, the Phoenix Suns
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the highest payroll in NBA history this past season. They
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: totaled out at four hundred and forty two million. How
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: is that possible? Well, the payroll for the actual player
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: salaries was two hundred nineteen million. And then because all
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the cheap, tightwad, small market pathetic owners complained and said,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: oh man, it's not fair. So they put all these taxes,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: these tariffs, if you will, on the big money teams.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: In sports, and so in the NBA.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: So they ended up paying one hundred and eighty four
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: million dollars in luxury tariff penalties, if you will, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: they couldn't even make the play in tournament. Mike got
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: all right, not final point to the Big easy. There
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: were some other changes. There were other changes in the NBA.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: The Pelicans, which is I think a team that's there
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: so the other teams have someone to play.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: They're one of those spam teams. How dumb is that name?
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: The Pelicans? Anyway, the New Orleans Pelicans, we don't talk
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: about that much. Why would we? Why would we?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: They fired the executive named David griff a media favorite,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: a media darling, and he has been given the walking papers.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Get out of here, you're done. Griffin's spent the past
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: six seasons.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Putting bad basketball teams together as the head of basketball
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: ops in New Orleans, and the Pelicans have said, bye bye,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you're out of here. So how much blame does David
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Griffin does he get for the New Orleans struggles? So
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Griffin could write a book, he's not qualified also to
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: teach a class, like a web based class on how
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to keep getting gigs and not being very good at
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: your job and last a good amount of time. It's
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: wild right. Griffin failed horse trading one oh one long ago.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: He allowed Anthony Davis to trade himself to the Lakers.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: That was under the Griffin watch, and then the winning
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: of the lottery will sometimes be careful what you wish
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: for the New Orleans Pelicans, remember they they won the lottery,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: and David Griffin thought that the team was drafting a
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: thoroughbred that could win the Triple Crown or at least
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the Kentucky Derby, and instead they ended up drafting a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: player who is much more like a Budweiser Clydesdale in
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Zion Williamson, a Clydesdale with three legs.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And there you go.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: What an enigma? What an enigma. Now, I don't have
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: an issue with them drafting Zion Williamson. I would have
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: done the same thing. The issue is you knew the
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: guy just doesn't have it, that he's lacking that genis aquah,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: whatever that is.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: He didn't have it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: The guys he's just not into it and he's never
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: gonna be that guy. And you signed him to another deal,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: You sign him to an extension when you knew you
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: had a problem, you doubled down on the problem. And
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: that's that's malfeasance, is what that is. That's embarrassing, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: drafting Zion Williamson was not again the issue, but the
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: fact that you tied yourself to that anchor, that's the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: issue here. And again Griffin is one of these guys
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: got much like Darryl Morey in Philadelphia. He's got a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: lot of opportunities because he's a bit of a carpetbagger.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: He's got the good personality and all that.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: He's allows the executive who when you think about his career,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: he was in Cleveland for a while, and you talk
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: about being the beneficiary of circumstance. He went, he was
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the GM. Lebron went back to Cleveland. Does anybody raise
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: her head? Is anyone in the building here raise her
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: head if you think Lebron went back to Cleveland because
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: David Griffin was the GM, or that was always Lebron's
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: intention to eventually go back to Cleveland. And these two
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: things are not related, yes, exactly. And so now they're
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: going to bring in some other Jabroni, whether it's Joe
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Dumars who's the early favorite, or somebody else. And the
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: first thing that person will do is get rid of
• 16:52
