live on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube and yes, here we go.
2:23
Denzil snips, thanks for popping in. All right, As I said,
2:28
the title says it all relocation, droughts an unemployment, and we're going
2:30
to start with the dysfunctional Arizona Coyotes. But for how long? Okay?
2:36
The Coyotes Arena plan in Tempe rejected by the voters. The future in the
2:40
Valley of the Sun is cloudy, so I guess the main thing here,
2:46
although I will point out they are playing in Arena, Okay for another year
2:52
until they figure out where they're going to go. So here's a question,
2:54
and I'm going to go right around rapid fire throughout the night. All right,
3:00
where are they going to go? Jeremy, I'll give you some choices.
3:02
You got Houston, Atlanta, Quebec City, Kansas City, and Baron
3:07
Mine in Houston. Tilman for Tita actually controls facilities, so they'd be a
3:13
tenant. And other names that are being bandied around our Milwaukee and Anchorage and
3:17
good luck Gary Vettman trying to solve this riddle. I think it's Houston.
3:23
Yeah, they have the population, they have the growth, they have the
3:28
fiscal dynamics to cover it. I think that one makes more sense than the
3:32
rest of them. Okay, Jacob, I'm not sure what it will be,
3:38
but it can't be Atlanta. We've seen it twice. Atlanta flames,
3:40
Atlanta Thrashers. It does this. The thing about the reason Atlanta does not
3:45
work is because the if you're not good, and we're saying this with the
3:50
Brave Braves are wonderful right now, so people don't get I mean, I
3:53
mean because people don't run right now because the team's really good. But watch
3:58
the Falcons. They're gone in a second, in two half quarters, they're
4:00
out of the game and everybody's right back in the streets and they're drinking or
4:03
whatever. They do that in Atlanta every single They do it for the Hawks,
4:08
they do it for the Braves when they're horrible, and yes, what
4:11
if the team's not good, it's not there. So it's not Atlanta to
4:14
me, and these be Quebec City. It's Quebec Hockey to me, is
4:18
gonna be Canada and it is the original six. And I think we have
4:23
overstepped our bounds doing Dallas doing um, doing Dallas doing Arizona with all these,
4:30
I think we've overstepped our bounds with these. There are hockey fans that
4:33
are re rabid and there are some things where you don't need to totally spread
4:40
it completely around. Hockey's one of those. Okay, well you mentioned will
4:45
Volga's they say should go to Quebec, saying bring back to Nordys. I
4:48
know that's tah. Yeah. You know what, though, I'm gonna I'm
4:53
gonna disagree with you. I don't think that Quebec it's a team. I
4:56
don't think that Bettman wants another team in Canada when there's a other viable US
5:00
options out there, a great, great idea. Well, don't hold your
5:04
breath, Denzil snips, We'll go to Hasband. Turn over to George.
5:09
I guess he's out of Houston. So if there, that's makes a lot
5:12
of sense market wise. But the question is do they want to be a
5:15
tenant to determine for trying to look at this guy's name here Tilman for Teeta
5:21
not like jokes yet. All right, So all right, George, you
5:25
and I've been around this role so many times where the Coyotes going well to
5:30
you know, the Kansas City Scouts are former Red Wing great said Able was
5:34
managing that team, the Houston Arrows, Gordie Howe, Mark Howe and Marty
5:41
Howe and Colleen Howe down in Houston. No way, Quebec. I'm sorry,
5:46
Jacob, I agree with Scott Bentman is not going to put another Canadian
5:49
team in there if he can help it. I would say it's between Kansas
5:54
City and Houston right now. I would think though, that Houston has the
5:58
edge. I think the population and wise. I know that, you know,
6:01
there have been some South teams that have struggles, such as Atlanta,
6:04
but for the most part, they've drawn very very well in Tampa and Florida,
6:11
the Panthers and uh, you know, the Dallas Stars took them a
6:15
while, but they draw very well. And even in Arizona. I mean,
6:17
if they had a good facility and a good building, I'm sure they
6:20
would draw well down there. So I'll vote Scott for Houston. All right,
6:25
jab did I ask you this one or not? No? But whatever
6:29
whatever happened to the Hartford Whalers, I mean, we could go there and
6:31
bring back those great jerseys. That'll ever happen. But maybe Houston or Charlotte
6:36
would be good spots. Oklahoma City maybe another spot. Get a natural rivalry
6:42
with Dallas at Kansas City. You know, he can't go rogue with with
6:46
Casey. So I mean there's there's a lot of good options for relocation.
6:50
Louis my honest answer would be Quebec, but it's not going to Canada unfortunately,
6:57
so that leaves the US options. A half would be by by number
7:00
one US choice, but an echoing there. So you know, the real
7:03
options were the other ones that I mentioned. Yeah, and you know what,
7:06
I'm going Kansas City all the way. They got a ready mate arena,
7:10
and we'll go back to the Scouts. That arena has been ready for
7:13
a long time. They host a Big twelve basketball tournament all the time.
7:17
There's no reason why Kansas City won't do well. I think there's some of
7:20
the best fans in the country. They're passionate. They do deserve another chance.
7:25
A far fetch one that I actually read was I would love to see
7:28
it, but it would never happen with the Anchorage, Alaska. I mean,
7:31
think about it. It would be fun. That's you know what that
7:34
would be fun. You got Anchorage, you got Seattle doing well, and
7:39
you got Vancouver, and then you got all those teams in California. I
7:42
would love to see a team in Anchorage, I guarantee. Yeah, well,
7:46
come on, this is a fun shows in Honolulu then too, well,
7:50
don't dress Okay, one thing you worry about in Honolulu, is you
7:55
as will get melfo not all. We're an Anchorage, Alaska. I've been
7:57
an Anchorage. It's a great city too. I don't know. I'm giving
8:01
a little bit of love to Anchorage. And of course Candy Ebly would love
8:05
Milwaukee, and I think Milwaukee would be a good choice because they would rival
8:09
Chicago. But I don't think it's likely. I just and I know they
8:11
talked about Salt Lake City. Vivint Arena holds up to fourteen thousand fants for
8:16
hockey. I don't think the capacity gets it done. So there you have
8:20
it. I'm going to Kansas City, and the rest of the guys who
8:22
want to hear this will find out in a year to which one of us
8:26
are right. Go ahead, Jeremy, an Anchorage, Alaska where they would
8:31
have to worry about the ice melting is in the summer, because that actually
8:33
gets upwards of a hundred degrees in July during that thirty days of day.
8:39
Yeah, but I never remember the hockey team playing into July. So I'm
8:43
not gonna I'm not gonna worry about the only thing I'd worry about in Alaska,
8:48
believe it or not. And I've been there before as the twenty two
8:50
hours of daylight where your body is really out of whack, then you're really
8:54
then you're in a different stratosphere. So all right, one more topic with
8:58
the NHL, and yes we'll vogel. Okay, I have to man,
9:01
this kid's on top of his research. What the housn't matter? But yeah,
9:05
well well I'll answer that nothing. Okay. So but let's go ahead
9:09
to the chat room and George, you're gonna start reading his kids chat because
9:13
at this particular point he is fast and I don't talk faster than he writes,
9:18
whether or not. So well, you know what he talks about Canada
9:20
having a drop for thirty years. So let's talk about they've NHL the last
9:26
time these teams want to come. We're gonna start with the final four first,
9:28
Okay, Caroline has been two thousand and six, Dallas nineteen ninety nine,
9:35
Florida Panthers never, biggest gold Knights never. The last time a Canadian
9:39
team one was in nineteen ninety three one Montreal Canadians bowled the trick. Okay.
9:45
And then you have Edmonton in nineteen ninety, Calgary Flames nineteen eighty nine,
9:50
and the Toronto maple LEAs. Oh my goodness, that's a tough one,
9:54
nineteen sixty seven. Compound that with the fact that Ottawa and Coop we're
10:00
a Winnipeg have never won a Cup. And yes, as we mentioned,
10:01
it's been thirty years since Canada's won a Stanley Cup. That's loaded. Jeremy,
10:07
where are you going with that? Wow? I figured that? H
10:16
right? But Andy, though hasn't won a Stanley Cup in thirty years,
10:20
you want to disappoint them more? I love it. But anyways, Uh
10:24
yeah, I'm kind of sumbbounded at some of the teams that haven't been there
10:31
and forever. But that just goes to show you a lot of those teams
10:35
was back when there was no salary cap and people could just load their teams
10:39
with a bunch of talent. You remember how talented the hockey world was back
10:43
then. It's talented now, but it's spread out. Okay, all right,
10:50
Jacob, it doesn't it feels like it doesn't make sense, you know
10:54
what I'm saying. It's like we've all known the cold weather state, but
10:58
then you've got Dallas in Vegas, Airline in Florida, and it's like that
11:01
doesn't feel right to say that, but think of it this way. The
11:05
Seattle hell. Look how far the Seattle cracking made it look how Vegas made
11:09
the first year the year one we used to think about you have to be
11:13
a uo the expansion of all sports. You get all the crap and you
11:18
have to build your way up. It's not that way anymore. Different world,
11:20
different time. So also in the NHL, and part of the reason
11:24
I was staying about Quebec is because maybe it's just my own little thing or
11:28
have an old school way, but it doesn't feel right to save these four
11:30
teams. But I have to wonder, after the end of this playoffs,
11:35
how well will the NHL be doing Because I always have felt like the Toronto's,
11:41
Chicago's, Montreal's, I really feel like it is at it Just like
11:45
I was talking about the NBA last week, when a Chicago, New York
11:48
and Detroit all them or as its best. I think the NHL's at its
11:52
best when you get to the reginal six, maybe a Saint Louis. It's
11:56
been around fifty some odd years. All of those are doing really well.
11:58
I'm gonna be interested in finding out after this Stanley Cup is over, how
12:03
the HL is going to be doing overall money wise? Dude? Is it
12:07
really that changed and people are for it? Or are we to start struggling
12:11
with ratings and everything? I think is the deal? Know who these people
12:13
are? Well, here, let me point out before I go to JB
12:18
and Landa lost two NHL teams, Yeah they did. I don't think they're
12:20
going to get a third one either. St. Louis lost two NFL teams.
12:24
You know what? Here and Den's here's my thinking. Okay, the
12:26
first one, you know, to me, I think that that was their
12:31
fault because they had opportunities to keep the Cardinals and the Saint Louis Rams ended
12:37
up moving simply because Cronky wanted to take it back to They wanted to go
12:41
out there and take it back to LA. So that's where I stand on
12:45
those all right, go ahead, JB. Listen, this is a South
12:50
Florida tribute show. The Sports Exchange, the Florida Panthers or the Eastern Conference
12:54
Finals? What could be better for this show? Now? You know,
13:01
we excited that the Panthers there. Of course we're all the South Florida tribute.
13:05
Crazy to think of the other way. You know who cares about the
13:09
other teams of the NHL. The Panthers are there, Let's keep going.
13:13
Let's take care of Carolata. Let's get to the couple. Let's see what
13:16
happens. Well that I like that. That's really good. You know what.
13:20
I'm gonna also say, they got in with the number eight seed and
13:22
they've been on the house money. And Paul Maurice was a veteran coach who
13:26
places Andrew replaced Andrew Brunette. How did that work out? Okay, you
13:31
didn't win another President's Cup trophy. What's the compromise. Let's see what's the
13:37
yeah, consolation? Thank you. Well, let's just go out there and
13:41
knock off the number one seed instead. So all right, George, good
13:46
one. JB. Well, the thing that's more disgusting than anything is the
13:50
Toronto Maple Leafs since nineteen hundred and sixty seven. Give me a break.
13:56
You cannot tell me that the Toronto Maple Leafs and then are organization did not
14:01
have the resources like the Detroit Red Wings and owners Mike Killitch to literally buy
14:07
all those all star players and form those great teams in Detroit. There's no
14:11
way other than the fact that Okay, there might have been a tax deferential
14:16
for some of these guys that didn't want to play in Toronto because of Canada's
14:20
tax But that is the most embarrassing thing in sports right now, that the
14:24
Maple Leafs have been waiting since nineteen sixty seven with the most loyal fans,
14:30
a beautiful new arena, such tradition, and they take a crap in there,
14:35
you know what. And that is just horrible for the Maple Leafs and
14:39
for hockey too, because, like you said, they are an original sixteen,
14:43
but the Montreal is another one. I mean, they've waited since ninety
14:46
three, but at least it's a lot more recent than nineteen sixty seven.
14:50
So all that being said, I'm pulling for Florida to go Panthers. But
14:56
George, you hurt that the Toronto is thinking about changing their name. Oh
15:00
the Toronto fake beliefs. Well, you know what's just because you said that,
15:07
Jab, you get to read wild Vogels comment. I like this one.
15:09
Go ahead, Jabe, read it. Florida's on a roll. Panther,
15:13
NHL heat, NBA, EDA A Med's FAU and Miami Tampa Bay Rays
15:20
FLb sums it up. Right there. I'm not saying a whole lot,
15:22
but yeah, no, I I give them Panther's credit. They're resilient,
15:26
they're number eight team and now they're in a place nobody thought they would be.
15:30
We'll see how it all plays out. But when you look at the
15:33
story of the Vegas Golden Knights, only been in the league just a few
15:35
years and they made the Stanley Cup Final in their first year, that's just
15:39
remarkable. For the Montreal Canadiens, well, you know what, it just
15:45
goes to show you that the team that's won the most titles. Okay,
15:48
and I had some harsh words for their fans many many years ago that if
15:52
you google my name, you'll find out what they are. But they were
15:56
the beneficiary of fewer teams because they haven't been relevant for thirty years. So
16:00
I don't have to make this stuff up. They haven't won since nineteen ninety
16:06
three, so all this, you know, just shows you the talents water
16:10
down. They can't get anybody there, no deal of floors. Yvon corne
16:14
Ya's, ten Dryden's are walking through that door. And I'll tell you the
16:18
Canadians were unbelievable back then. But thirty years with the most story franchise in
16:22
the league. It just goes to show you, you know, I think
16:26
like Will said that maybe Edmonton has a shot at some point, but right
16:30
now, well you can bring that up a year from now, all right,
16:33
fifty six years for the other one, exactly, Yeah, right,
16:41
good point, all right, and I'll leave it at that. We're gonna
16:44
switch sports old to round ball. Franchises to never reached the NBA finals.
16:49
Well, what a thing we've got tonight. Never's droughts, unemployment. Oh,
16:52
we're getting the unemployment part in the moment. The Charlotte Hornets, Denver
16:56
Nuggets, LA Clippers, Memphis Grizzly, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans.
17:03
Well, it looks like the Nuggets have a shot to go ahead and eliminate
17:07
themselves on the list. I'll go around the horn again, Okay, Jeremy,
17:11
you know, let's talk about the teams to never reach the NBA finals.
17:15
Which one's gonna be that next? The Nuggets are about the only one
17:19
that really have a shot right now. Right Other than that, the rest
17:26
of them are two to three pieces away, whether it's bench players or whether
17:30
it's starts. Because it takes two or three stars, and it takes a
17:33
really good bench for any team to make it anymore. And you know Pelicans,
17:40
they got stars. They don't have a bench. Okay, all right,
17:47
Jacob, Well, the biggest thing with the Pelicans is the fact that
17:49
they got they had themselves what they thought was their savior and the guy he's
17:53
two hundred and seventy pounds of bubble wrap. And the biggest and the biggest
17:59
issue with him is, I mean, when you can't have him. They
18:02
didn't build anything. They had him, and I don't know they expected to
18:04
build around him or have help. But they're terrible now. And yes,
18:11
that is true. Wolves would be off the issue. Correct. Now,
18:15
here's the thing on that to me, Denver watched Denver against LA. Right
18:18
now, they have the team, they have the offense. They could easily
18:22
take a game in LA and then finish it off at home easily. They've
18:26
got it. They've got an offense to keep that up. But like,
18:29
I mean, you got to remember one thing about Golden State is they just
18:33
weren't I mean, they did not have the offense. They were eleven and
18:37
thirty on the road, and so they just weren't going to do any of
18:40
that kind of stuff on the road in the playoffs. This team is Denver.
18:42
Team's got see, the Golden State was very very much in consistent all
18:48
year. Denver has not been. It just hasn't. And they can go
18:52
to him. They can go on the road, take one, then finish
18:55
off wherever it is for one or four two on LA. They're tough.
18:59
So I think they can get to the finals because what anybody thinks about being
19:02
a La versus Boston and they could eat and the NBA might want that,
19:07
but I don't know if LA's got enough to as far as defense to stop
19:11
Denver. That's a pretty powerful offense. Okay, well you know what we'll
19:17
turn over to JB. Well, listen, it's Denver. Denver's making it
19:21
this year. It's a loaded question. They have the guy who could have
19:26
been MVP. He you know it was one in one A. It really
19:30
wasn't much difference. You know, they're a really good team. They're they're
19:34
gonna end up making the finals. If you ask who the next team is,
19:37
that would have been a great question, because I don't think any of
19:41
them making it anytime soon. I think Jeremy was right. That would have
19:44
been a guess for anybody, but I think Denvers got it this year or
19:48
no question. Well, I'm glad you asked the next question in that and
19:52
that you went out there and answer it. So thank you very much.
19:53
I appreciate I appreciate that type of contribution. Thank you, mister Ellis.
19:57
All right, okay, George, Well, Denver obviously is hitting the picture
20:03
obviously big time right now, as you guys said, and they've been waiting
20:07
a long time. I mean, they've had good teams over the years,
20:11
but never never, I don't think one is as good as this team.
20:15
Things are clicking for them right now. I know they've got you know,
20:18
Shack staring across the floor from them in this finals Conference Finals, but I
20:25
still think that I think the Nuggets hopefully will break that jinx and make it
20:30
into the final two the championship series against the Boston Celtics. All Right,
20:40
well, I'll tell you one thing. I worked with Brendan Malone when he
20:44
was an assistant coach with the Detroit Pistons. I'm gonna tell you his son,
20:48
Michael Malone, is doing a phenomenal job in Denver. So I got
20:52
to be pulling for them alone. And I don't know if I've ever told
20:55
you this story, and if I haven't, I'll say it again. And
20:57
if I have, well you can hear it again. Okay, Once upon
21:00
a time, I was covering the Pistons in the Cleveland game out in Cleveland
21:03
in the Richfield Coliseum. So I'm staying at the Pistons Hotel at the time,
21:08
and you know, Brendan Malone and Brendan Sir, we're gonna go out
21:14
to eat at a place called White He's out in Cleveland, and they asked
21:17
for a ride at game one and it was really neat. You know,
21:19
we go there. So I pull into the parking lot and I targeted a
21:23
parking spot right on the end. So Malone and Sir looking at me like
21:29
you telegraphed. It's like you knew you or you were going to go right
21:33
in a barking lot. So I said, well, coach or coaches,
21:37
here's the deal, Okay, if I go in the corner spot, there's
21:41
one side won't get hit and the other side I'm not gonna worry about it.
21:44
At least one out of two is not bad. They both looked at
21:47
me like that was pretty cool to learn. That. And by the way,
21:49
what did I do that night for dinner? I sat there and picked
21:52
their brains about basketball. We were watching games over at way He's Bar and
21:56
grow Out in Cleveland. So there you go. I'm rooting for Michael mull
22:00
no matter what. And we'll talk about the buston Celtics a little bit shortly.
22:03
So with that said, we move on to the next topic, because
22:07
now we're starting to get even more interesting. According to CBS Sports, did
22:12
you know these coaches had the most wins over the last three seasons in the
22:18
NBA? Monte Williams Phoenix Suns one sixty, Mike Boudenholzer one fifty five we
22:23
know with Milwaukee, Doc Rivers one fifty four with Philadelphia and he lost ten
22:30
game sevens. All were fired after being eliminated from the twenty twenty three playoffs.
22:37
Job Security Championships. I don't think so, not according to these guys.
22:42
What do you think, Jeremy I know him not Yeah, Okay,
22:56
don't worry about it, okay, Jacob Montie Williams is one of my very
23:00
favorite coaches of the league. And then of course I'm gonna give Boonholder of
23:06
all of prost and the role. He's got a ring, and he got
23:07
a ring when everybody and their mom wanted he fired, So that takes a
23:14
lot of gumption to do that. Now, the biggest thing about Doc Williams,
23:18
and not Talk Williams, I'm sorry, Doc Rivers. The biggest thing
23:22
about Rivers is the fact that as I don't want to call a thousand when
23:26
the coach stink, I don't want to call him crap. But for somebody
23:30
who has a thousand wins, he coach is so scared. And the one
23:34
time he did coach scared, he was very, very aggressive in that playoffs
23:37
when he won the ring, something somewhere down the line happened and he just
23:41
got scared. And he just keeps coaching scared and it didn't help me.
23:45
James Harden on his team, but it's the factory mains that he's still every
23:51
time he's up three one, three two, he just gets stiff and he's
23:55
trying not to lose, and then he loses every single time. So I
23:59
think do all three at jobs? Yes, absolutely, But I could see
24:03
I could see Doc Rivers is getting an Orlando job or Detroit or something somewhat.
24:07
Some team that wants fifty wins and getting back up there. He's not
24:10
gonna win a title, but I can see them getting met. Bootonholder is
24:14
going to go to a place looking closer to the ring and so and Monty
24:17
Williams gonna get his eventually. That's an amazing coach who just haven't had the
24:22
right timing yet and then not the right players. And it's like, you
24:25
just hope I'll bring another hearted thing. You just hope he doesn't get hearted
24:27
because he's already dealt with Paul Jabe. Listen, it's part of the coaching
24:33
business. You could be a great coach if you don't want at all,
24:37
if that's what's expected of you, when the GM and the owners are pouring
24:41
the money in, if they expect you to win at all and they're not
24:45
happy with where you finish, that's part of your job, unfortunately, and
24:48
you lose it. Is it fair? Yes, that's you know what you're
24:52
going to get into when you signed up. Doc Rivers. On the other
24:55
hand, listen up. He to me is not a good coach. A
25:00
whole Ben Simmons situation from the beginning. He mishandled. I'm not saying Simmons
25:06
is right, but he could have handled that so much better, and you
25:08
know, could have solved that whole situation before it happened. He's horrible in
25:14
game sevens. He's horrible with a lead in the second and the finals.
25:19
The guy is just not a winner. I don't don't really care. You
25:22
could win as many games you're one of the regular season ask Yankee fans making
25:26
the playoffs? What does that make? What does that do for you?
25:30
We want a World Series or we were? It's not worth it. We
25:33
waste our whole season. Well, Doc rivers the Yankees, no, thank
25:37
you, We don't want them. He'd have a heart attack, don't They
25:41
already have him? And Aaron Boone pretty much. I'll talk maybe a little
25:48
bit better, but yeah, the regular season. Maybe it's part of the
25:53
job, you know, it's what you sign up for. If you're expected
25:56
to win, then you don't win, unfortunately, you lose your job.
26:00
But it doesn't about how good of a coach you are. How many times
26:02
did Billy Martin, Jogie Barra get fired when they coach great teams. You
26:07
know, it's just part of the territory. That's Steinbrenner by himself, anyway,
26:12
he was nuts. Well. Remember one thing, though, when Billy
26:15
Martin got fired, he got rehired for more money by George Steinbrenner, and
26:18
that was a nice show that they had out and the Yankee statement. I
26:22
talked to Billy once about hiding care or whatever. He got a raise every
26:26
time and always got his benefits. All right, George, we know the
26:27
drill about Doc Rivers Game seven's, including the fact that he lost one to
26:33
the Detroit Pistons and he was a member of the Orlando Magic. I happen
26:36
to be there for that, and I believe Rick Carlisle is a coach taken
26:37
from their George. Yeah, Will Volgel made a nice comment. He says,
26:41
I like Monnie and Bunozer, but Doc has struggled ever since Boston.
26:47
In my opinion, I'm of the same persuasion. Thank you Will for bringing
26:51
that point forward. And you were right, JB. I don't see the
26:55
fact that Rivers is gonna ever take a team to a title. I'm sorry.
27:00
There's just something about him, Like you said, he's scared. There's
27:03
something tentative about him. There's something that just is not clicking. Nice man,
27:07
though good basketball mind of course. The interesting thing is the Pistons,
27:11
supposedly here in Detroit, have gotten down to their three final candidates, the
27:17
assistant in Milwaukee, the assistant in Oklahoma City, and the former Yukon coach.
27:22
He's the leading candidate. So now what do you do. They're flying
27:26
all these guys out this week to Los Angeles to meet Tom Gores, the
27:30
owner, and now you've got three premier coaches available. So I don't know
27:36
what the Detroit Pistons are going to do. I don't know if they're going
27:37
to go ahead with one of the three that they supposedly are the finalists,
27:42
or are they going to reopen it up. Very interesting situation in Detroit because
27:45
of the fact that these three guys have now become available. Go get Doc,
27:51
Go get Doc. All right, well, you know what I'll say
27:55
this, Okay, of all these three coaches I mentioned, Monnie Williams will
27:57
win the first championship ring of the three, I can so easily. Okay,
28:03
one more topic with the NBA that we go to the sports town of
28:07
the week. Want to make sure that JB and Jacob get over to confidential
28:11
in plenty of time. But this one two is like another Doozy with the
28:15
dismal dismissal rather of Williams. Every NBA coach with the best record the last
28:21
three last six seasons is no longer with the team. First of all,
28:25
Mike D'Antonio was fired by the Rockets best record in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
28:30
Mike Booneholzer fired by the Bucks best record twenty eighteen, nineteen, twenty
28:33
nineteen, twenty twenty two, twenty three. Quinn Snyder, by the way,
28:37
recently hired by the Atlanta Hawks, was fired by the Jazz twenty twenty
28:45
twenty twenty one as a best record, And as I just mentioned, Monnie
28:48
Williams fired by the Sun's twenty twenty one twenty twenty two best record, and
28:53
this was according to the Basketball Network. A couple of coaches out there that
28:57
are still available that I didn't men Dwayne Casey. I think he'd take a
29:02
job if he had the right one, even though he's upstairs with the Pistons.
29:04
And don't forget Nick Nurse. Okay, he's still out there. I
29:08
mean, I'm talking about some loaded championship names, Okay, Jeremy, So
29:14
while you're giving me the finger that you want to go. I was under
29:15
deferty. Anyways, go ahead. I'm sure you have more to say on
29:18
this topic than the last one, right, my friend. Yes, also,
29:22
isn't drink Vogel still available? Yeah? He did too. Right,
29:26
So you're talking about there's about four of those that are defensive minded coaches that
29:30
have experience in playoff caliber. Then you have the assistance from two of those
29:38
guys there are defensive minded coaches. I'll be happy with any of those six
29:45
coming to Detroit, which would be better than Dwayne Casey. Okay, well,
29:51
yeah, you've shown that you've really never cared for him in the first
29:52
way. So he's I haven't had the post lessons that week right, Well
29:56
I heard that weekend. Well, the thing is he was coming in with
30:00
the lame duck Gary wants to get over with. And you know what,
30:03
he tanked for the fifth pick in the draft. By the way, that
30:07
I don't want to depress Detroit fans, but they're not the sports channel of
30:11
the week. We'll give him a break for this one. But they tanked
30:15
for the fifth overall pick. Go figure, that's what I think in the
30:18
NBA draft lottery. All right, Jacob, I'm a Frank vocal also,
30:23
And it's like, and I've really been mad at the Lakers, you know,
30:27
and the fans and everything for putting scapegoating him. He couldn't help that
30:32
ridiculous situation out in the first place. What did you say? It was
30:37
that GM on the floor exactly. And it's like, and the thing is,
30:42
he's a great defensive mind, which there are some there are some bad
30:45
teams out there right now that could use him. He can bring fifteen twenty
30:49
game improvement immediately. I like Frank Vogel and he needs to be out there.
30:56
Monty Williams is that goes without saying. But I could have given him
31:00
with the crappy teams. I'm gonna think he's the final piece of one team
31:03
somewhere. It could easily be Philly could easily as long as one certain players
31:07
not gonna be there. But it's like the Bottoms is it could easily be
31:11
Filly getting getting and beat a get em, beat a real sidekick. And
31:15
then you get that coach and they can do it. And it's like,
31:18
and there's a there's and I'll have Nick Nurse. Nick Nurse has a ring.
31:22
The Frank Goga has a ring there. These are gonna be coaches that
31:26
stick around over there. And then guess what Sam Cassell is around. There's
31:30
gonna be someone that gives him a chance, and he's a great motivator.
31:34
Well, one guy i'd like to see get a job would be Mark Jackson
31:38
is what I would to me. It's a mystery why he's never gotten another
31:41
job, and I won't. I want to mention someone. I don't know
31:44
if I brought it up earlier or not, but I did mention it on
31:47
Pundit's fundent. Okay, when you talk about the Memphis Grizzly is not winning
31:52
a title, well, you know what, I don't think you're gonna win
31:53
another one for a while. I think John moranch should be suspended for an
31:56
entire year. That's my opinion after what he did. I mentioned that fund
32:00
of fun at run to ready there, Okay, J b Ellis, go
32:04
ahead, listen. I mean, all these guys are good coaches. It
32:07
doesn't matter where they end up. It's a matter of the right fit,
32:12
having the right guys in their system. You know. That's why the GMS
32:15
need to sit down and figure out who they have of their roster, what
32:20
type of system they're going to fit in, because everybody runs a different system,
32:23
you know. So it's about looking at the coach in their style and
32:28
getting the right guy for the right team, you know. And if you
32:31
just want a guy because you want a guy, then you may have to
32:34
change up who you have or make moves to get the optable team, or
32:37
you may just you do not play at the top level right away, Okay,
32:44
George, Yeah, a lot of good guys available up there. I
32:47
agree, there's a lot of openings and there's a lot of great men out
32:52
there that can coach this game. And you know, again Detroit, you
32:55
know, it just did not work out for Dwayne Casey. I mean,
32:59
he had a good team and a good thing going in Toronto and couldn't complete
33:04
it. But you know, I think that, you know, if these
33:07
guys want to teach some defense, I mean, all the more power.
33:09
I mean, if I'm a head coach and I'm seeing what's going on in
33:13
this league, I'm going to start teaching some defense better. And I think
33:16
that the teams that can play defense, can play effectively, are going to
33:22
be the ones that are going to advance in the playoffs. And the Detroit
33:24
was the furthest from that right now this season, especially with so many young
33:29
players. But no, I agree. I mean, there's so many good
33:32
guys out there. I take Nurse in a minute, and I don't know
33:36
why Detroit's not looking at more veteran coaches right now. They're they're going for
33:38
a more younger guy, at least the three interviews that were coming up with
33:43
Owner Gores this week camp. But you know what, George, they had
33:47
their three finalists, but now the deck has been reshuffled a little bit.
33:52
So I think if the Pistons were smart, they would go ahead and extend
33:54
the search a little longer and invite those other guys in for an interview make
33:59
a decision. I don't think they expected this many coaches to be fired.
34:02
I really don't, especially let alone successful ones. That's the thing that to
34:07
me, really boggles my mind. And yeah, and you know what,
34:09
I'm going to bring this comment up to the forefront with Will Vogel. I
34:13
like it. I think Nick Nurse a lot of coach that coach a good
34:17
Rappers team that pete the Warriors in the finals, and hope he gets a
34:22
coach a good team. Well, we all do that, well, he
34:23
does, so I think he'll definitely be Are you hirable? I wouldn't be
34:28
surprised to see him land with the Phoenix Suns, But you just never know.
34:31
I mean, these are just unbelievably big openings with a lot of talent.
34:35
But then when you look at the Phoenix Suns, are they going to
34:37
be training away? What are they talking about training away? Chris Paul and
34:43
DeAndre eight and I think is possibly gonna be shops. So we'll see a
34:46
lot of player movement. We still have free agency the draft coming up,
34:50
so it'll be interesting to see how it goes. So, George, I
34:52
think to your part, okay, I think the Pistons search continues a little
34:58
bit longer because of this. And I'm gonna tell you what I'm vehemently gonna
35:02
say. I think Mark Jackson deserves another shot. I really do. Why
35:07
he hasn't coached another team, Maybe there was some internal things going on with
35:12
Colden name, but Mark Jackson needs to be hired a sap. All right,
35:15
final thing to get to the night Sports Sound of the Week, and
35:20
yes, Celtics are at home facing the Miami Heat to night in Game one
35:22
Eastern Conference Finals. All Right, we're gonna rank the Boston area in terms
35:28
of sports tune of the week, Jeremy, go ahead, and Ken,
35:34
Okay, why they guess some of the greatest fans. They've got a lot
35:37
of championships. I mean, granted, if other than the Red Sox who
35:40
went playing their hundred years between the championships. That being said, it's a
35:45
great sports down. They've got all the sports there, and they've got good
35:50
teams that tend to play at the top of their division every time they play.
35:54
Enough for me, Jacob, oh, it's a fifteen I mean,
36:00
you grew up, you grew up with bird in Boston. You go look
36:04
at the Red Sox. I mean, how many times will they show Carlton
36:07
Fisko that he'll runs seventy five? How many times you see that? I
36:10
mean that played how many stadiums? I mean, you get the Patriots.
36:14
You've got those Patriots used to fill the stadiums, even what I mean,
36:16
other than the one in fifteen year, they filled those gota. Remember they
36:20
were also in the Super Bowl in eighty five, so they filled They're just
36:24
they are just here's the thing about Boston fans. They their construction workers in
36:30
blue collar and they got their Sundays ready and there's no question of mind.
36:36
It's a fifteen. Okay, Well, you know we'll go back to woo
36:39
ten. He gives them a ten. Bruins, Celtics, Red Sox have
36:44
a rich history, Patriots too, Red Socks came down from three and another
36:47
thing to win that pen and so. And I don't think that Denzel wants
36:52
to hear that from you. Well, but you figured out on your own
36:54
dead by itself, Lawrence A seven right in? Lol? All right,
36:58
well whatever, okay, some people like to be reminded. But all right,
37:02
Jabe, where you putting the Boston market? Did it we do Boston
37:07
last week? Or by what dos Toronto? Okay? Because I know we
37:13
gave I know it was a high scored Yeah we did Toronto. You know
37:16
what's very similar. They're going to get a ted. I mean the Celtics
37:22
one of the most winning teams of the most winning team of basketball, Red
37:25
Sox, who have great fans. As a Yankee fan, we love to
37:29
hate them, but the Red Sox have great fans. You know, the
37:32
Patriots the most winning team in football, and the Brewids one of the original
37:39
six. They got you know, everything you can want in Boston, there's
37:45
you know, a phenomenal city for for sports. George, Oh yeah,
37:52
definitely a ten. I mean you look back at the Red Sox over the
37:54
years, Ted Williams, Carl Yustremski, gem Lonborg, Johnny Pesky, I
38:00
mean all the great Red Sox players and a Corse, Tom Brady and the
38:04
whole era with the Patriots. You got the Bruins and the and the Celtics
38:09
with such great teams. They share in an arena. Me and my friend
38:14
John why late friend John Wendler. I'll never forget that trip we took to
38:17
see the Red Sox and the Tigers play at Fenway Park. What an experience
38:22
for any of our listeners that have not gone to Fenway Park. You got
38:24
to do that. It's it's just remarkable and and it's such a great place.
38:30
They are die hard sports fans. Definitely at ten. Yeah, I
38:35
go ten. I haven't been to Fenway Park. Bucket list item. You
38:38
haven't been to New England to see a football game, although I've seen him
38:42
on the road. But I have been to the Boston Garden, the old
38:45
one. And you want to talk about the most intense atmosphere for Boston Celtics
38:50
ten all the way with Boston. I mean, all right, sorry Ruins
38:52
fans at the Florida Panthers Beach this year, you had the most lens and
38:58
the most point. But you know what we always said, one of the
39:00
toughest championships to win is in the NHL when they see as many as seven
39:06
times, but the intensity that much more heightened. You know that these one
39:08
eight upsets occur a lot. But Boston and I actually went to the little
39:14
Fenway Park over in Fort Myers, the Little Monster, and it's a great
39:19
little ballpark. Two Fenway South is what they call it. So Boston,
39:23
you got my heart and you got my ten. So for the great broadcast
39:28
we had tonight, lots of facts and you know, I know we have
39:30
a bunch of people going over to other shows. So what that said,

and all kinds of great sportscasting, Earnie Harwell and Ray Lane, George Call,
43:17
so many great voices we've had here in Detroit. You can reach me
43:22
at giicorn at yahoo dot com and also on Twitter at Sangee Sports at ninety
43:28
nine, and you can read me also in the Detroit Monitor locally. So
43:32
good to be part of the show. As always, well done, guys.
43:37
I know they got confidential coming up. So meanwhile, this concludes this
43:39
edition the Sports of Change, Relocation, droughts and unemployment. Well we went
43:45
through a lot of them, so you have it well and we'll track all
43:49
these and the coming weeks to see who finally lands, who went through the
43:52
trouble, why they lost their jobs, and one of the teams are going
43:55
to relocate. Well we only talk about the Coyotes now, but nevertheless,
44:00
some things aren't going to change for a year. Canada is gonna have to
44:02
wait another year to win a chance Stanley Duck. So we'll see if it
44:07
hits thirty one Coyotes, who knows where they're going and I'll be interesting to
44:10
see how all these coaching scenarios play out. So on behalf of Smoking Jeremy
44:15
Being, Jacob Christner, Jamie Ellis and George Korn. My name is Scott
44:21

44:23
