- 0:22Speaker 1: Tab it Thursday.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Everybody, It's the Seat O'Connell Show on ESPN seven and FM.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Have you noticed, James that this has been going on
- 0:35Speaker 2: for like three months? Now?
- 0:38Speaker 1: Do I have nodes? Is this like?
- 0:41Speaker 2: Is this like pitch perfect and I've got a case
- 0:43Speaker 2: of the vocal nodes? Oh no, yeah, I have noticed that.
- 0:47Speaker 2: I have noticed it with myself at the same time too.
- 0:50Speaker 2: I don't, but I'm also I've got I've got something
- 0:55Speaker 2: that makes me have to clear my throat all the
- 0:56Speaker 2: time anyway, So I don't know, man, this is this
- 1:00Speaker 2: is a weird, weird hour gy season into the early summer.
- 1:06Speaker 1: I have no idea.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Now, there was there was a time I was I
- 1:11Speaker 2: was doing the intermittent and fasting thing for about a
- 1:14Speaker 2: month and a half where I would not have eaten
- 1:17Speaker 2: anything before I came into the studio.
- 1:21Speaker 1: I was like, all right, maybe there's just.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Like some you know, there's just some build up because
- 1:26Speaker 2: I'm not chewing and swallowing and clearing out my throat
- 1:29Speaker 2: that way.
- 1:30Speaker 1: But that's not the case now.
- 1:31Speaker 2: So sorry if you have to listen to me going,
- 1:35Speaker 2: but we're happy to have you on a Thursday. Gordy
- 1:37Speaker 2: Chiays is gonna be here for an hour. We've got
- 1:40Speaker 2: a lot to talk about in the association. Even though
- 1:43Speaker 2: the season is over and the New York Knicks have won,
- 1:45Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz obviously have some decisions to make and
- 1:50Speaker 2: some conversations that need to be conducted with Walker Kessler
- 1:54Speaker 2: his representation, Keyante George, his representation. Credit to Walker Kessler
- 1:59Speaker 2: for kind of taking control or retaking control of the
- 2:02Speaker 2: narrative here. Walker Kessler, I think saw the conversation getting
- 2:09Speaker 2: away from him and maybe even from his agents yesterday
- 2:12Speaker 2: with the oh, yeah, you know he's denied the extension.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Is he happy?
- 2:19Speaker 2: And he made sure to take to his own social
- 2:21Speaker 2: media and make the point that he's always wanted to
- 2:24Speaker 2: be in Utah Now last season he also said, look,
- 2:28Speaker 2: I'm frustrated with the delay on these things, but I'm
- 2:32Speaker 2: not going to talk about it during the season because
- 2:34Speaker 2: I don't want to be a distraction during the season.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Walker Kessler's got a really good head on his shoulders.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Walker Kessler is that dude who you want in this organization.
- 2:45Speaker 2: There's obviously a gulf between his expectations for pay and
- 2:50Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz willingness to pay, and I think you
- 2:54Speaker 2: know the the number, the reasonable number is probably about
- 2:59Speaker 2: thirty million dollar dollar and he's sitting on twenty eight
- 3:02Speaker 2: and offer for twenty eight right now. I don't think
- 3:04Speaker 2: it's going to get much higher than that. He's not
- 3:05Speaker 2: enough of an offensive facilitator producer to justify that kind
- 3:11Speaker 2: of pay. But we will see how that one resolves itself.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Will talk about it with Gordy Chiason. John Wright's gonna
- 3:19Speaker 2: join us at one o'clock because the US Open has
- 3:24Speaker 2: begun and right now Shinnacock Hills is making everyone's life miserable.
- 3:28Speaker 2: When I was driving in there, there were only five
- 3:33Speaker 2: players above par.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Let's see if that's still the case. There's six players.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I shouldn't say above par, there's six players under par,
- 3:44Speaker 2: and everyone else is even or worse right now at
- 3:48Speaker 2: the US Open. So John Wright will join us in
- 3:51Speaker 2: the one o'clock hour to talk a little golf. We'll
- 3:54Speaker 2: discuss some World Cup action, as you had another slew
- 3:59Speaker 2: of games last night. Chechia and South Africa are underway
- 4:05Speaker 2: at halftime right now, one zero, one nil advantage for
- 4:10Speaker 2: Chechia right now. Switzerland, Bosnia Herzegovina coming at one o'clock Canada,
- 4:16Speaker 2: Qatar or Cutter and then a feature that I think
- 4:20Speaker 2: a lot of people are gonna have fun watching tonight.
- 4:22Speaker 2: It is Mexico versus South Korea, and obviously Korea coming
- 4:28Speaker 2: off a thriller against the Netherlands, Mexico coming off of
- 4:32Speaker 2: successful debut in the tournament at Estaduasteca, so that should
- 4:37Speaker 2: be a fun one. In group play later tonight at
- 4:40Speaker 2: seven o'clock. Oh see my CHECKI ist squad picked them
- 4:43Speaker 2: to win the group. Okay, you did not pick South Africa.
- 4:47Speaker 2: You picked South Korea, so you're hoping for a big one,
- 4:51Speaker 2: a big win over Mexico later. Careful, don't don't say
- 4:53Speaker 2: that too loud. We get a lot of people in
- 4:55Speaker 2: the building that are rooting for Mexico. It's a good point.
- 4:58Speaker 2: I don't want it to be known. Shout out to
- 5:00Speaker 2: connoisseur media, the Spanish stations in the building, Connoisseur media.
- 5:05Speaker 2: I don't want them to know that I picked I'm
- 5:06Speaker 2: picking against them. Also, is wearing a Mexico shirt today,
- 5:11Speaker 2: So I talked to him because he's been wearing You've
- 5:14Speaker 2: seen him in his Spain kit before, so I'm like, wait,
- 5:17Speaker 2: how many how many kits do you have And he's like,
- 5:20Speaker 2: he's like, you mean just national teams and like yeah, he's.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Like Olivain in Mexico.
- 5:24Speaker 2: He's like, I have a US men's national team jersey,
- 5:28Speaker 2: but it's our shirt, but it's not a jersey. And
- 5:30Speaker 2: then he's got some a couple of club teams as
- 5:34Speaker 2: a kit for.
- 5:35Speaker 1: He's just a general sports fan.
- 5:37Speaker 2: He's always wearing different gear, like you'll you'll come in
- 5:41Speaker 2: and he'll be wearing Utah Valley gear.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Makes sense.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Boy, By the way, voice of Utah Valley. Now, did
- 5:46Speaker 2: you hear that? I didn't know that. He so Jim mccullaugh,
- 5:49Speaker 2: the Great, the Great Jim McCulla Uh. He's no longer
- 5:53Speaker 2: the voice of UVU basketball. Bryce Larsen's taken over for
- 5:56Speaker 2: him this this coming season. So shout out to Bryce Larsen.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Amazing. It's one and that's Bryce's is great.
- 6:02Speaker 2: If you if you never listened over on our sibling station,
- 6:06Speaker 2: I encourage you to do so during the Dan Patrick
- 6:10Speaker 2: commercials or whatever Rich Eyes and commercials or whatever, pop
- 6:13Speaker 2: over there and listen to to the fellas Bryce and Biannucci.
- 6:20Speaker 1: The official name of the show Big News.
- 6:25Speaker 2: We we had this on in the hot Lunch yesterday,
- 6:29Speaker 2: we talked a little bit about what now seems. It's
- 6:33Speaker 2: it's so silly to think that yesterday was like, all right,
- 6:36Speaker 2: we got to address a social media video of Parker
- 6:41Speaker 2: Kingston working out at by u's indoor practice facility for
- 6:48Speaker 2: the obvious reasons.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Uh.
- 6:49Speaker 2: And now the absolute bomb the huge news today that
- 6:57Speaker 2: charges have been dismissed in the case against former BYU
- 7:03Speaker 2: wide receiver Parker Kingston. He was charged with first degree
- 7:10Speaker 2: felony rape and those charges have been dismissed without prejudice.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Means that charges can be refiled and it could eventually
- 7:26Speaker 2: go to trial.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Apparently a lot of this was.
- 7:31Speaker 2: The result of hearing yesterday and the state attorneys were
- 7:38Speaker 2: asking for another delay of the trial. They're asking for
- 7:43Speaker 2: this thing to can to be kicked down the road
- 7:45Speaker 2: a little bit further, on the grounds that the witness,
- 7:49Speaker 2: the alleged victim's readiness to go to trial was in
- 7:53Speaker 2: doubt right, and they asked for the trial to be
- 7:58Speaker 2: moved to September, with an option to delay the case
- 8:02Speaker 2: into October if needed. Obviously, Parker Kingston's defense said, no,
- 8:08Speaker 2: we're not going to agree to that.
- 8:10Speaker 1: This trial.
- 8:10Speaker 2: This is something we want to get resolved right now.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Parker Kingston's future at BYU is certainly doubtful at best,
- 8:21Speaker 2: but there are other schools in the country that want
- 8:24Speaker 2: his services if he can get out from under these charges.
- 8:27Speaker 2: And for now, as of today, he is no longer
- 8:31Speaker 2: awaiting trial for a very serious felony accusation. He is
- 8:35Speaker 2: now as we always have talked about, he is innocent
- 8:38Speaker 2: until proven guilty. There's not even going to be a
- 8:40Speaker 2: trial to prove his guilt. There is, of course the
- 8:43Speaker 2: prospect of refiling the charges, and there's the prospect of
- 8:47Speaker 2: a civil matter, much like the Jake Retzlaf case, to
- 8:52Speaker 2: come out of this even if the criminal charges don't happen.
- 8:55Speaker 2: But a lot of that is going to be based
- 8:56Speaker 2: on the alleged victim, obviously, And if the reason that
- 9:01Speaker 2: this thing was not is not going to trial in
- 9:04Speaker 2: July July sixth was supposed to be the date. If
- 9:07Speaker 2: the reason that it's not going to trial now is
- 9:09Speaker 2: because of a lack of readiness on the depart on
- 9:12Speaker 2: her part, then I don't foresee a situation doesn't make
- 9:16Speaker 2: sense to think that, well, there will be a civil
- 9:21Speaker 2: trial anytime soon and this this is the reason why
- 9:28Speaker 2: he was working out at BYU. I guess what we
- 9:30Speaker 2: were speculating yesterday. Oh see that people around him at BYU,
- 9:35Speaker 2: people in his inner circle, maybe people on that coaching
- 9:39Speaker 2: staff felt like this was this was coming.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Well.
- 9:42Speaker 2: It's important to note that BYU did respond to some
- 9:47Speaker 2: of the conversation and said, this workout was conducted during
- 9:51Speaker 2: private time. Okay, so this was not a BYU activity,
- 9:55Speaker 2: It was not a team activity. So we probably don't
- 9:58Speaker 2: get to infer anything about what coaches or administration it was.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Like we talked about as a possibility yesterday, it was
- 10:05Speaker 2: a workout being conducted by people who are certainly by
- 10:10Speaker 2: extension associated with BYU. Former player Neil pau runs workouts there.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Does like high school coaching there, you know, the the
- 10:18Speaker 2: little seven on seven camps things like that, and his
- 10:22Speaker 2: teammates are just like, there's no there's no uh. I
- 10:29Speaker 2: want to make sure I phrase all these things correctly.
- 10:31Speaker 2: There's no rule against fraternizing with someone who's about to
- 10:35Speaker 2: go on trial.
- 10:36Speaker 1: There's nothing.
- 10:36Speaker 2: There's no violation of an honor code by association, which
- 10:41Speaker 2: right goodness for that. Yeah, and and you know also
- 10:45Speaker 2: by extension b YU, because they clearly they're allowing it
- 10:49Speaker 2: to happen in their facility. But will we'll we'll leave
- 10:52Speaker 2: leave that aside and say the statement that they issued
- 10:56Speaker 2: was that nobody was aware that BYU official, the official
- 11:01Speaker 2: Royal BYU was not aware that Parker Kingston was working out.
- 11:06Speaker 2: And then in the statement was they will now that
- 11:09Speaker 2: they are aware it's been handled accordingly, which I interpreted
- 11:13Speaker 2: to mean he's going to be asked not to come
- 11:15Speaker 2: back to the facility anytime soon. And then one day later,
- 11:18Speaker 2: not even twenty four hours later, we get the news
- 11:21Speaker 2: that the case is dismissed, which obviously changes everything, obviously
- 11:24Speaker 2: opens up. Now now a lot of the conversations we
- 11:28Speaker 2: had yesterday in the day before about the propriety, whether
- 11:32Speaker 2: or not it's okay for like or optically from a
- 11:35Speaker 2: pr standpoint, it's all right to see that now all
- 11:38Speaker 2: of those I mean this is the charges have been dismissed.
- 11:42Speaker 2: The case is dismissed. It doesn't mean nothing happened. It
- 11:48Speaker 2: doesn't mean in reality innocence or guilt will ever be established.
- 11:55Speaker 1: From a legal standpoint.
- 11:57Speaker 2: The only two people who know exactly what happened are
- 12:00Speaker 2: Parker Kingston, who has denied allegations vehemently, and the alleged victim,
- 12:06Speaker 2: who is, according to all these reports, not ready to
- 12:10Speaker 2: take this to trial, and the state has doubted she
- 12:13Speaker 2: would be ready to do so even in September. That's
- 12:17Speaker 2: why they ask for a possible continuance into October. So
- 12:22Speaker 2: infer what you will on that. I'm trying not to
- 12:25Speaker 2: infer anything based on that. But then instead of being
- 12:29Speaker 2: a criminal story, instead of being a legal story, this
- 12:32Speaker 2: news makes this now again a sports story.
- 12:36Speaker 1: It does.
- 12:37Speaker 2: And I will just say, even though a day later
- 12:41Speaker 2: the charges were dismissed, I still think it would have
- 12:46Speaker 2: been better for his team that's working him out to
- 12:49Speaker 2: just wait, just wait till they're dismissed, to do to
- 12:53Speaker 2: even step on BYU's campus like that post any videos
- 12:59Speaker 2: of you working out.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Just wait a little bit. But anyway, Well, a very.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Very close friend of mine and I were having a conversation,
- 13:06Speaker 2: we were working out together last night. We were having
- 13:08Speaker 2: a conversation about this exact thing. He's a devout member
- 13:12Speaker 2: of the LDS Church and obviously I'm not. And we
- 13:15Speaker 2: were talking about the optics for BYU, and we were
- 13:17Speaker 2: talking about the optics for other players that are associating
- 13:19Speaker 2: with him and stuff, and you start to question sort
- 13:24Speaker 2: of the lines that are drawn when it comes to
- 13:27Speaker 2: friendship to team culture, things like that based on this
- 13:34Speaker 2: sort of thing. And I mean, this is a guy
- 13:38Speaker 2: I've known, We've been very very close friends since fourth grade.
- 13:44Speaker 2: And you know, the question is is basically the hypothetical
- 13:48Speaker 2: as well, if you were awaiting trial for this accusation,
- 13:52Speaker 2: would I still hang out with you?
- 13:55Speaker 1: Would we be working out together?
- 13:56Speaker 2: And obviously there was no social media post, no public
- 14:00Speaker 2: anything in regards to us working out together, But the
- 14:04Speaker 2: question is, would I hang out with you? Would I
- 14:07Speaker 2: be seen with you? Would I privately associate with you
- 14:12Speaker 2: if you were awaiting trial for felony. I've tried not
- 14:17Speaker 2: to say the word in case kids are in the car.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Everyone. I hope you understand why we know what it is.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And like it's all based on do I believe.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Your story or her story?
- 14:29Speaker 2: And if it's your friend, if it's your close friend,
- 14:32Speaker 2: if it's someone you've known since fourth grade, you're probably
- 14:35Speaker 2: gonna believe. Even if it's someone you've known on your
- 14:37Speaker 2: team for two years or a year, you're probably gonna
- 14:40Speaker 2: believe him instead of her, and that there's a lot
- 14:44Speaker 2: of problems with that in many, many, many cases. But
- 14:48Speaker 2: I think it's important. A lot of Utah fans got
- 14:51Speaker 2: on their high horse about this thing, and a lot
- 14:54Speaker 2: of Utah we we love it. Let's admit it to ourselves.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Utah people, we love it when we think we can
- 15:00Speaker 2: point out hypocrisy or oh we like to play goatchia
- 15:04Speaker 2: on BYU and the perceived self righteousness of the whole
- 15:09Speaker 2: BYU machine. We like to point out the chinks in
- 15:13Speaker 2: the armor. Oh look what you did here? Why is
- 15:15Speaker 2: Jake rest left in the facility? Why is Parker Kingston
- 15:17Speaker 2: in the facility?
- 15:18Speaker 1: We like to do that. It's okay to admit that
- 15:20Speaker 1: to ourselves.
- 15:22Speaker 2: We like to pretend we know something you don't to
- 15:26Speaker 2: the rival school and to the rival fan base. That is,
- 15:30Speaker 2: you know, interlaced with this morality and religiosity and all
- 15:36Speaker 2: that kind of stuff.
- 15:36Speaker 1: We like to do that.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Oh see, you guys shouldn't be on such a high horse,
- 15:40Speaker 2: because as long as it's a talented person, you allow
- 15:43Speaker 2: for any loophole possible. When you really zoom this thing out,
- 15:48Speaker 2: maybe Neil pau and Company knew or had confidence that
- 15:55Speaker 2: this outcome was coming sooner than later, that these charges
- 15:58Speaker 2: in this case was going to be dismissed more than later.
- 16:00Speaker 2: More importantly, I think their willingness to fraternize is an
- 16:06Speaker 2: indication that they believe him, not the accusation. And look,
- 16:13Speaker 2: when this story broke in February, I was having spirited
- 16:18Speaker 2: discussions with my own wife about it because my tendency,
- 16:26Speaker 2: because of maybe some I don't know, twisted sense of chivalry,
- 16:31Speaker 2: my tendency is always to just be like, oh, bleep.
- 16:35Speaker 1: That dude, I automatically hate that guy.
- 16:40Speaker 2: And my wife was more like, well, hold on, because
- 16:45Speaker 2: I know a lot of girls that grew up in
- 16:47Speaker 2: the culture that I grew up in that after the fact,
- 16:52Speaker 2: and this was remembered that the arrest happened like a
- 16:55Speaker 2: year later, the rest the arrest, the time between the
- 17:00Speaker 2: leedged incident and the arrest and the.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Charges being filed was a long time, after a lot.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Of investigation, and my wife was like, well, hold on,
- 17:13Speaker 2: it's not always so black and white. And I have
- 17:15Speaker 2: a tendency to be like, now, something like this feels
- 17:19Speaker 2: pretty black and white. I was a single young man
- 17:24Speaker 2: for a long time hanging out with a lot of
- 17:27Speaker 2: different people and never had anything even close to this
- 17:31Speaker 2: come across my bow. It's pretty easy to not be
- 17:34Speaker 2: accused of these things, is what my mentality has always been.
- 17:38Speaker 2: So I have this tendency, maybe this overtendency, to just
- 17:42Speaker 2: be like, yeah, that's a you problem, whoever the male
- 17:46Speaker 2: involved is. And I do believe that the male has
- 17:49Speaker 2: the greater responsibility in ensuring clear communication and safety for
- 17:56Speaker 2: both parties and all that stuff. I will never not
- 17:58Speaker 2: believe that, especially as a father of three girls. But
- 18:03Speaker 2: we're looking at this now as clearly still a convoluted
- 18:06Speaker 2: case where charges could be refiled, where a civil matter
- 18:10Speaker 2: could be brought to court eventually, but for now, Parker
- 18:14Speaker 2: Kingston is, based on the information we have, is at
- 18:21Speaker 2: least temporarily exonerated and is an incredibly talented athlete who
- 18:26Speaker 2: is going to do what he can to try to
- 18:28Speaker 2: put the pieces back together on.
- 18:32Speaker 1: A football career that really was.
- 18:35Speaker 2: I mean, he had an incredible breakout season last year, which,
- 18:38Speaker 2: by the way, it still feels a little icky to
- 18:41Speaker 2: talk about this part of it, knowing the backdrop, but
- 18:46Speaker 2: this is a guy that can help, BYU, I don't
- 18:50Speaker 2: think he's going to be allowed to help BYU. I
- 18:52Speaker 2: think he would have to serve something like a half
- 18:55Speaker 2: season suspension. There's going to be at the very least
- 19:00Speaker 2: if BYU lets him re enroll and everything and be
- 19:04Speaker 2: part of the football team, there's gonna be very least
- 19:06Speaker 2: a long suspension, if not a full year ban. And well,
- 19:10Speaker 2: i mean Jake Retslof was offered a seven game suspension,
- 19:14Speaker 2: is that right? That was the report. That was the report,
- 19:17Speaker 2: that was the rumor of the innuendo, and that was
- 19:20Speaker 2: a civil case. He had never had criminal charges. You
- 19:23Speaker 2: would think it would be it might be more for
- 19:26Speaker 2: for Parker Kingston.
- 19:27Speaker 1: But also if has been dismissed.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if criminal charges are dismissed, I happen, right.
- 19:36Speaker 2: I truly don't know what the official like by the
- 19:39Speaker 2: book stances. I'm sure the Honor Code Office and I'm
- 19:42Speaker 2: sure BYU leadership has a handbook for how some of
- 19:47Speaker 2: these things are supposed to be handled. I'm sure Brian
- 19:48Speaker 2: Santiago and Kalani Satake have had a conversation already given
- 19:53Speaker 2: the information available to us.
- 19:55Speaker 1: Now, yeah, there's.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Still there's still pre marital relations going on, so there
- 19:59Speaker 2: would be a there's an honor code violation that took place,
- 20:02Speaker 2: so there would be some kind of discipline, if not
- 20:05Speaker 2: a complete band still, And we're not going to get
- 20:08Speaker 2: into whether or not we believe that the honor code
- 20:10Speaker 2: should be in people's business that way. I kind of don't,
- 20:14Speaker 2: but I understand that that's something that everyone signs up
- 20:17Speaker 2: for down there in provo, and like, if you want
- 20:21Speaker 2: to go by the letter of the law, go buy
- 20:23Speaker 2: the letter of the law. I know plenty of people
- 20:25Speaker 2: who didn't twill they were at BYU and just never
- 20:27Speaker 2: got in trouble, and we're great represented as a BYU
- 20:31Speaker 2: and their private life was their private life. I know
- 20:33Speaker 2: many examples of that, and that's fine in my book.
- 20:36Speaker 2: It might not be finding your book if you're a
- 20:38Speaker 2: BYU fan, or if you're a strict to the letter
- 20:42Speaker 2: person of the LDS faith maybe, or a strict to
- 20:46Speaker 2: the letter person of any faith that thinks that the
- 20:48Speaker 2: premarital relations are like unto murder. I'm not of that
- 20:52Speaker 2: opinion these days. But this is a massive story for many,
- 20:57Speaker 2: many different reasons. Because we're talking about that he said,
- 21:00Speaker 2: she said dynamic again, and this one is so convoluted
- 21:05Speaker 2: and so complicated, and it was a case that had
- 21:08Speaker 2: already been delayed. The incident in question was two decembers ago, now, right,
- 21:17Speaker 2: and the arrest came a full like whatever it was
- 21:20Speaker 2: thirteen fourteen months after the fact, and then now, well,
- 21:25Speaker 2: are you going to be ready in May? No?
- 21:28Speaker 1: What about in July? Okay? Now I'm not gonna be
- 21:30Speaker 1: ready in July? Okay? What about September? Yeah?
- 21:33Speaker 2: Probably, but more October might be better. And the judge
- 21:37Speaker 2: in the case is looking at it and saying like, no,
- 21:41Speaker 2: this thing, this we need an expedient result on this.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:45Speaker 2: I mean, and I think whatever story you're inclined to believe,
- 21:51Speaker 2: I think that that's probably a reasonable a reasonable way
- 21:55Speaker 2: the judge is deciding to handle this, and whatever justice
- 21:59Speaker 2: needs to be needs to be done or whatever, hopefully
- 22:03Speaker 2: hopefully it happens eventually, or maybe this is the just outcome,
- 22:06Speaker 2: and Parker Kingston deserves to be a free man and
- 22:10Speaker 2: live with innocence that he has until he's proven guilty.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Absolutely the I mean, there's a lot of layers to
- 22:16Speaker 2: the onion here. Remember the prosecution team asked for Judge
- 22:20Speaker 2: Jay Winward, who made this decision, to be dismissed previously
- 22:26Speaker 2: said hey, we don't want you to be the judge
- 22:27Speaker 2: who makes these decisions. We think that you are going
- 22:29Speaker 2: to give unfair bias to the student athletes to Parker Kingston.
- 22:35Speaker 2: The judge that motion was denied, the judge stayed, and
- 22:39Speaker 2: the judge, that judge, the one that the prosecution at
- 22:42Speaker 2: least at some point effectively accused of being not unbiased,
- 22:48Speaker 2: it didn't trust at any at any rate, said that.
- 22:51Speaker 2: That is the judge that says the state is not ready,
- 22:54Speaker 2: the victim is unprepared to testify, and that's okay. The
- 22:57Speaker 2: case is dismissed without prejudice. The timeline here complicates things drastically.
- 23:03Speaker 2: The timeline for Parker Kingston's life is obviously he's the
- 23:08Speaker 2: one on the deadline from an eligibility standpoint. The alleged victim,
- 23:14Speaker 2: as far as we know, doesn't have any of those
- 23:16Speaker 2: strictures going on. And the judge has recognized that, and
- 23:19Speaker 2: the judge has dismissed this trial, and now it becomes
- 23:22Speaker 2: a sports story again. Like I said, BYU will offer
- 23:29Speaker 2: him a place back, but there will be a suspension
- 23:32Speaker 2: attached to it, and the suspension may have nothing to
- 23:37Speaker 2: do with considering this criminal case because the charges have
- 23:41Speaker 2: been dismissed.
- 23:41Speaker 1: The suspension is.
- 23:42Speaker 2: An honor code violation, it would be That's what it is,
- 23:45Speaker 2: Honor code violation. That's it like from a legal standpoint,
- 23:48Speaker 2: I don't think the Athletic Department or BYU or BYU
- 23:51Speaker 2: Football or whoever the decision maker is, I don't think
- 23:53Speaker 2: they can say we're suspending you based on charges that
- 23:57Speaker 2: are no longer levied against you. It has to be
- 24:00Speaker 2: on the honor code violation. And of course we know
- 24:02Speaker 2: what that on. Our Code office has typically done in
- 24:04Speaker 2: cases like this. We have a good example of the
- 24:07Speaker 2: rets Laugh case and the alleged offer there. Like, you're
- 24:11Speaker 2: gonna have to serve a suspension for the majority of
- 24:13Speaker 2: your season, Parker Kingston. To me, it seems likely with
- 24:17Speaker 2: the lack of eligibility he has remaining, you're probably not
- 24:20Speaker 2: gonna sit out that much of a season.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Although BYU has incredible high hopes.
- 24:26Speaker 2: For a Big twelve championship, that just got that much
- 24:28Speaker 2: better because there's no Brendan Soresby at Texas Tech, right,
- 24:32Speaker 2: So maybe he's looking at it and going, well, geez,
- 24:35Speaker 2: I started this with my guys I'd like to finish
- 24:37Speaker 2: it with my guys, even if I have to serve
- 24:39Speaker 2: this suspension. If you're Utah, do you want him? That's
- 24:43Speaker 2: that was my first thought. I don't know. I I
- 24:47Speaker 2: don't think Morgan Scally should touch this with one hundred
- 24:50Speaker 2: foot poll.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Yeah. Your Wide Receiver Corps, we think is pretty talented,
- 24:55Speaker 1: more talented than in recent years.
- 24:57Speaker 2: And far more important than that. You're a first year
- 25:01Speaker 2: head coach. And the tone that you want to set
- 25:04Speaker 2: in your program, the culture, the RSNB culture. What you
- 25:07Speaker 2: want is rule followers. You want buy in, you want
- 25:14Speaker 2: no gray area, you want integrity. And while charges have
- 25:19Speaker 2: been dismissed for now, we don't know the actual truth
- 25:23Speaker 2: about what happened here, and Morgan Scally, as much as
- 25:26Speaker 2: he wants to communicate with anyone, he cannot possibly know
- 25:31Speaker 2: the actual truth here. It is too risky, in my opinion,
- 25:34Speaker 2: for Utah to even explore that idea. On top of that,
- 25:40Speaker 2: I think Parker Kingston has interest from SEC schools. I
- 25:45Speaker 2: think he's got interest from places that are gonna be
- 25:49Speaker 2: far enough removed from this that is probably a relief
- 25:51Speaker 2: for him, far enough removed from this. And in a
- 25:55Speaker 2: football culture, we know how the South is where they're
- 25:59Speaker 2: just like, we don't care about some accusation that is.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Following you from before. We don't care about that at all.
- 26:04Speaker 2: At LSU, we don't care about those things I don't miss,
- 26:07Speaker 2: we don't care about.
- 26:08Speaker 1: At Florida, we don't cave and already reached out to him.
- 26:10Speaker 2: You think guarantee, at Florida, we don't care about any
- 26:15Speaker 2: of that stuff, young man. That he said, she said stuff,
- 26:19Speaker 2: some are all, some are all at Florida.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Jake Rhetzlaf's coach at Tulaye last year, just saying.
- 26:26Speaker 2: I mean, so there's gonna be possibilities for this young
- 26:29Speaker 2: man to play football this year.
- 26:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 26:34Speaker 2: However, again, you just have to approach all of it right.
- 26:38Speaker 2: You have to look at the whole picture. Clearly, he's talented.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Clearly he's capable of producing for you on the field.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Unclear as to whether or not he's a good person
- 26:49Speaker 2: as a receiver and a returner.
- 26:51Speaker 1: By the way, he can help you in multiple ways
- 26:53Speaker 1: as a.
- 26:54Speaker 2: Unclear as to whether or not you could trust this
- 26:57Speaker 2: kid to follow your rules. He's already admitted he didn't
- 27:00Speaker 2: follow the rules at BYU. A lot of people in
- 27:02Speaker 2: college football and college atmospheres in general. Think those rules
- 27:06Speaker 2: are antiquated and have no bearing. I mean, he is eligible,
- 27:10Speaker 2: as far as I know to play at literally every
- 27:13Speaker 2: university in the country, at least in the power for
- 27:17Speaker 2: except for BYU. Yeah, there's there's even the other Christian schools.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Christian affiliated schools do not have rules like that in
- 27:28Speaker 2: certainly in the power for. I mean this if it
- 27:30Speaker 2: is if his defense is the truth, and again we
- 27:34Speaker 2: don't know his defense is the truth, and it was
- 27:37Speaker 2: a consensual encounter that got communication crosswired, that is not
- 27:46Speaker 2: grounds for dismissal at any other university.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Yeah, it just isn't.
- 27:50Speaker 2: I think the only other university it might be is
- 27:53Speaker 2: Liberty and that's not power for football, right, that's yeah.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Like Notre Dame has a similar sort of like, hey,
- 28:01Speaker 2: you know, follow the commandment's kids, it's not.
- 28:06Speaker 3: Enforced.
- 28:06Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not something.
- 28:08Speaker 2: There's no office of enforcement for it, like there is
- 28:11Speaker 2: with the Honor Code Office.
- 28:12Speaker 1: And I have to give credit where it's too.
- 28:15Speaker 2: The Honor Code Office has been out of the public
- 28:17Speaker 2: eye for the most part. In a lot of cases,
- 28:20Speaker 2: they handle things privately a lot more than they used to,
- 28:24Speaker 2: and that is better because these are college students. We're
- 28:26Speaker 2: talking about what it's a high profile case like Retz
- 28:30Speaker 2: laugh was, like Parker Kingston is. Now we're talking about
- 28:34Speaker 2: something unavoidable. The Honor Code office has to be visible here.
- 28:39Speaker 2: But this story, if you're a coach, right Utah, I'm
- 28:44Speaker 2: gonna scratch off the list. I don't think Morgan can
- 28:46Speaker 2: afford it. I think as a first year head coach,
- 28:48Speaker 2: it makes no sense for him. I don't think you
- 28:51Speaker 2: do it. Even if we're talking about like arch Manning,
- 28:55Speaker 2: I think you just say no, sorry, we can't touch
- 28:58Speaker 2: this with a ten foot Pollnot if it wasn't the
- 29:01Speaker 2: University of Utah. If it was if it was a
- 29:04Speaker 2: different state that the main rid that b i U's
- 29:07Speaker 2: main rival rival was in, you could there might be
- 29:11Speaker 2: more wiggle room there. But I agree with you, like
- 29:13Speaker 2: you're in the same area and you're you're who you are,
- 29:18Speaker 2: Morgan Scalley, You you gotta just now you let that
- 29:20Speaker 2: guy go somewhere else. I'm really like, I'm really curious
- 29:23Speaker 2: what I mean. Arizona State, Kenny Dillingham, Right, they're acutely
- 29:29Speaker 2: aware of how talented Parker Kingston is down there, right,
- 29:33Speaker 2: Kenny Dillingham has some resources and is aggressive in these matters,
- 29:38Speaker 2: But is Arizona State far enough removed? There's a huge
- 29:42Speaker 2: Mormon community down there. I think they are. There's a
- 29:45Speaker 2: huge group of BYU supporters down there. Is it far
- 29:49Speaker 2: enough removed? Again, in a lot of these cases, the
- 29:52Speaker 2: only question that they need answered is are you talented enough?
- 29:58Speaker 2: So I this is a resolution of sorts, but it
- 30:02Speaker 2: is not a final resolution because of the possibility of
- 30:06Speaker 2: a refile, the possibility of a civil case being brought,
- 30:10Speaker 2: And I think it the last thing I want to
- 30:13Speaker 2: say about it before we take a break and get
- 30:15Speaker 2: to Gordy Chiesa, who's with us for the next hour.
- 30:18Speaker 2: I think, for me, I'm not a head coach in
- 30:20Speaker 2: college football. I'm not a team captain in college football.
- 30:22Speaker 1: I never was. I'm not a position coach in college football.
- 30:27Speaker 2: I need to believe his side of the story before
- 30:31Speaker 2: he comes and is part of my team, regardless of
- 30:34Speaker 2: the technicalities, regardless of the legalities, regardless of the fine print.
- 30:41Speaker 2: If I'm interested in his services as a wide receiver,
- 30:44Speaker 2: if I want to give him a second chance, because
- 30:47Speaker 2: if he was falsely accused, that is a crime in
- 30:49Speaker 2: and of itself. That is horrific mistreatment of a human being.
- 30:55Speaker 2: If you put that evil on somebody when they don't
- 30:58Speaker 2: deserve it, an accusation like that can permanently ruin a
- 31:03Speaker 2: young man's life. In Parker Kingston's case, it at least
- 31:08Speaker 2: temporarily derailed his life very significantly, and might still do
- 31:11Speaker 2: so further. But if I'm anybody who has any interest
- 31:16Speaker 2: in associating with this young guy, hiring him in the
- 31:19Speaker 2: future for a regular job, if he doesn't make it
- 31:22Speaker 2: to the league, I need to be able to sit
- 31:26Speaker 2: down with him, listen to the story, Give me the truth,
- 31:29Speaker 2: give me every single detail. Let me read the testimony
- 31:33Speaker 2: of your victim. Let me cross examine you based on that.
- 31:37Speaker 2: I guess there is no testimony but police reports, and
- 31:40Speaker 2: maybe you meet with the Maybe you meet with the
- 31:42Speaker 2: prosecutor in this case and get the details from from
- 31:45Speaker 2: the other side there like that before it becomes a
- 31:49Speaker 2: full sports story. For me, I have to believe in
- 31:53Speaker 2: the player being innocent. If I don't believe that he
- 31:57Speaker 2: is beyond a shadow of my own doubt, as if
- 32:00Speaker 2: I were a member of a jury of the peers,
- 32:04Speaker 2: I don't want that guy on my football team. I
- 32:06Speaker 2: don't want that guy anywhere near my football team. And
- 32:09Speaker 2: this is something that is lost in the sports culture
- 32:13Speaker 2: all the time. If the legality is there, if the technicality,
- 32:22Speaker 2: if the boxes are checked. From those standpoints, there's been
- 32:25Speaker 2: a lot of cases in which coaches, teammates, universities are
- 32:30Speaker 2: just like, Oh, from a legality standpoint, we're covered.
- 32:35Speaker 1: That's all that matters.
- 32:37Speaker 2: It has to matter more than this, especially in cases
- 32:40Speaker 2: involving these types of charges. But that is the biggest
- 32:43Speaker 2: news in the state of Utah today on the sports front,
- 32:47Speaker 2: that the Parker Kingston story went from being a criminal
- 32:50Speaker 2: story to now being a sports story again because the
- 32:54Speaker 2: case has been dismissed without prejudice, which means charges could
- 32:59Speaker 2: be refined at a later date, and there's always the
- 33:03Speaker 2: matter of a civil trial. But if the alleged victim,
- 33:06Speaker 2: as is reported, was not willing to or able to
- 33:10Speaker 2: testify anytime soon, unlikely that that would be coming up
- 33:15Speaker 2: in the foreseeable future. And I'm talking about during this
- 33:19Speaker 2: upcoming college football season, because they were looking to kick
- 33:22Speaker 2: the can into October seasons most of the way over
- 33:25Speaker 2: by then. I'm going to take a quick shower during
- 33:31Speaker 2: the break.
- 33:32Speaker 1: I don't like talking about that kind of stuff.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Makes me feel weird and icky. I don't know if
- 33:37Speaker 2: I handle it right. I always question after those types
- 33:39Speaker 2: of conversations on air whether I said the right things,
- 33:42Speaker 2: whether I've expressed my views clearly.
- 33:47Speaker 1: I believe that we all have a duty, especially men.
- 33:50Speaker 2: We all have a duty to protect women, no matter
- 33:53Speaker 2: the age, and let that be the final statement on it.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Gordy Chiaysa joins us.
- 34:02Speaker 2: Next, It's Parade Day in New York City, The Drama
- 34:07Speaker 2: with Walker Kessler, an upcoming NBA draft, lots to discuss

- 34:30Speaker 4: Jazz assistant coach Gordy Chiasa. He's forgotten more about the
- 34:33Speaker 4: NBA than any of us will ever know.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Let's not get crazy.
- 34:37Speaker 1: Come for the hoops talk, stay for his list of
- 34:39Speaker 1: the day. I listenday.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Here's oh c with basketball Stabban Gordy Chiasa on The
- 34:45Speaker 4: Sean O'Connell Show.
- 34:49Speaker 2: Oh Welcome back to the Sean O'Connell show ESPN seven
- 34:52Speaker 2: hundred and ninety TWOE FM. Welcome in Gordy, CHIAYSA brought
- 34:55Speaker 2: to you by a Ladin Industry.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Is your Utah V Lux Dealer. Hi, Gordi Sewing.
- 35:00Speaker 3: I'm doing well.
- 35:01Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to uh next Tuesday, all the listeners.
- 35:05Speaker 5: That's the NBA Draft, the first round, and next Wednesday
- 35:09Speaker 5: will be the second round and it's held in a
- 35:12Speaker 5: Barclay Center in Brooklyn, and everybody's going to be there
- 35:15Speaker 5: involved and it's going to be a wonderful night for
- 35:19Speaker 5: jazz fans and for NBA xellots.
- 35:23Speaker 1: You ever been to Shinnecock Hills, Gordy.
- 35:25Speaker 5: That's the Long Islands, right, Yeah, yeah, yes, No, I've
- 35:28Speaker 5: not been the but I know of it. I've passed
- 35:30Speaker 5: it many a time, showing when I was in Crazy
- 35:34Speaker 5: traffic Champs and a thing called the l I E
- 35:37Speaker 5: the Long Island Express Ray, which is the world's biggest
- 35:40Speaker 5: parking lot.
- 35:40Speaker 2: I have been on that many a time for my
- 35:43Speaker 2: PFL duties, going from Queens in the airport all the
- 35:47Speaker 2: way out.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Yes, But.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Shinnecock Hills the US Open host courses dominating the golfing
- 35:55Speaker 2: field right now, Yes, only four guys under par uh
- 35:58Speaker 2: close to Gordy's old stomping grounds. But we brought you
- 36:02Speaker 2: here to talk basketball, not to talk golf. So my
- 36:05Speaker 2: fault on the weirdest side. Let's start with the thing
- 36:07Speaker 2: that's top of everyone's mind here in the state of Utah,
- 36:11Speaker 2: Walker Kessler in the Utah Jazz yet to reach an agreement.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Reports out there from Tip McMahon and others that they're
- 36:18Speaker 2: still pretty far apart. Despite the five year, one hundred
- 36:20Speaker 2: and forty million dollar offer from the Utah Jazz, Walker
- 36:25Speaker 2: seemed like he wanted.
- 36:26Speaker 1: To clear the air a little bit.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Yesterday took to social media and posted, I'll just read
- 36:31Speaker 2: exactly what his post said. I've seen what's being said.
- 36:34Speaker 2: I wanted to be clear. I've always wanted to be here.
- 36:36Speaker 2: I love the city, these fans, my teammates, my coaches.
- 36:40Speaker 2: That's real to me. You don't grow roots where you
- 36:43Speaker 2: don't want to be. So Walker Kessler making it clear
- 36:47Speaker 2: that he loves Utah, he wants to be in Utah.
- 36:50Speaker 2: That doesn't mean he's going to take a significant discount
- 36:53Speaker 2: below what he feels he's worth to stay in Utah. However,
- 36:57Speaker 2: I think it's a vote of confidence that something will
- 36:59Speaker 2: get between these two parties, and I wanted your thoughts
- 37:03Speaker 2: on the matter.
- 37:04Speaker 5: Absolutely. So the first thing is that this is all
- 37:06Speaker 5: agent talk. His agent Aaron Menz and David Spahn from
- 37:10Speaker 5: CAA Sports. They also represent Jaron Jackson. So in Jazz basketball,
- 37:15Speaker 5: it's very possible next season that Walker Kessler and Jaron
- 37:20Speaker 5: Jackson the starting front court of the two big guys
- 37:24Speaker 5: in Utah. As far as bigs have the same agency,
- 37:28Speaker 5: that's all part of the drama and off season, the
- 37:30Speaker 5: agents drive the dialogue. He knows that the team never
- 37:34Speaker 5: talks about their own assets, meaning the players, and that
- 37:38Speaker 5: Walker Kesser on social media made that point. The Jazz
- 37:41Speaker 5: offer is absolutely the baseline and it's more than fair
- 37:45Speaker 5: that for the listeners right now, Walker Kesser was offered
- 37:49Speaker 5: five years, one hundred and forty million dollars one hundred
- 37:51Speaker 5: and forty million dollars total, which comes to twenty eight
- 37:54Speaker 5: million dollars a year. If that happened, that would be
- 37:57Speaker 5: the largest figure ever in the history of NBA basketball
- 38:02Speaker 5: for the largest contract for a center who never made
- 38:06Speaker 5: the All Star team Sean twenty eighth, the largest ever
- 38:10Speaker 5: for a center never gonna make an All Star team.
- 38:13Speaker 5: That's Walker Kesla his fifth year. Walker Kesl's homegrown, meaning
- 38:17Speaker 5: the Jazz drafted him and good faith. Next year starts
- 38:20Speaker 5: his fifth season in the NBA. What happens? What happened
- 38:23Speaker 5: this year? He got hurt Toron Labor him on his
- 38:26Speaker 5: right shoulder, which is a shooting shoulder. He played well
- 38:28Speaker 5: in those five games, fourteen point four points per game,
- 38:31Speaker 5: ten point eight rebounds, and at one point eight blocks.
- 38:35Speaker 5: So that's the baseline they're gonna keep negotiating member. He's
- 38:38Speaker 5: a restricted free agent. So the Jazz, I'm sure I
- 38:42Speaker 5: have offered this, and they're gonna wait totally until someone
- 38:46Speaker 5: gives a different offer than they're gonna counter it. Once
- 38:49Speaker 5: is another offer by another team that the Jazz have
- 38:51Speaker 5: roughly have forty eight hours after they received the offer
- 38:56Speaker 5: to match or move them on son and trade. So
- 39:02Speaker 5: that's that's the the math of it, and also the
- 39:06Speaker 5: arithmetic of it and just the dynamics of it. So
- 39:10Speaker 5: it's all agent driven. Walker Kester wants to be here.
- 39:13Speaker 5: The Jazz want him. The Jazz don't want to overpay
- 39:16Speaker 5: dramatically on him. Hey we love you, dog. However, we
- 39:19Speaker 5: don't want to give you forty five million dollars a year,
- 39:22Speaker 5: and that's any business. So again, how do you view it?
- 39:25Speaker 5: If you're the player, it's different, you're the agent, it's
- 39:27Speaker 5: absolutely different. And if you're the team it's different. And
- 39:30Speaker 5: if you're the point guard of a team, Hey, we
- 39:32Speaker 5: wion't want to go on on our roster.
- 39:35Speaker 2: So we were going through the top center salaries in
- 39:40Speaker 2: the league yesterday, and the the twenty eight million dollars
- 39:46Speaker 2: a year basically puts it. I think we decided it
- 39:49Speaker 2: was ten or eleven for centers. Sure he be, he
- 39:52Speaker 2: would be right behind Isaiah Hartenstein. And I wonder how much,
- 39:58Speaker 2: pardon me, I wonder how much of this is just
- 40:01Speaker 2: comparative Right, You're looking over the fence at what somebody
- 40:04Speaker 2: else has, and you're going, wait, I'm better than Hartenstein.
- 40:07Speaker 2: My ceiling is higher than Hartenstein's. Porzingis is right around
- 40:11Speaker 2: thirty million dollars a year. You might think, well, I'm
- 40:13Speaker 2: better than porzingis more valuable to my team than porzingis. Also,
- 40:17Speaker 2: how much of that goes on with the player agents
- 40:20Speaker 2: and of course the president that has been set in
- 40:22Speaker 2: the league with other guys playing that same.
- 40:24Speaker 5: Position, paramount and that's what you're talking about right now. Hey, Mike,
- 40:28Speaker 5: I found the agent. My client is better and more potential,
- 40:32Speaker 5: and you guys have drafted him versus the next player
- 40:36Speaker 5: either above or below them as far as in his
- 40:38Speaker 5: salary structure. So it does matter Hartenstein. So here's the
- 40:42Speaker 5: question with it, and the Jazz point of view is
- 40:45Speaker 5: that this guy is part of our future. And Hartenstein
- 40:50Speaker 5: helped the Thunder win a championship in twenty twenty five,
- 40:56Speaker 5: and we think that Walker Tesla can help us also
- 40:59Speaker 5: be championship type team with us. Whose charged his sidekicks
- 41:03Speaker 5: and that they're going to negotiate in good faith. The
- 41:07Speaker 5: Jas are going to sign him and so Walker tested.
- 41:10Speaker 5: The question is for how much money. It's all that
- 41:12Speaker 5: you know, it's all that debate right now, and it's
- 41:15Speaker 5: all push and pull how it all plays out. Again,
- 41:19Speaker 5: you never want a player that you like and you nourished,
- 41:23Speaker 5: meaning you've drafted him and helped develop him walk away.
- 41:27Speaker 3: So that's it's going to happen.
- 41:29Speaker 5: Remember the again, the rules are he can he can
- 41:31Speaker 5: sign right now as far as the contract, but if
- 41:34Speaker 5: they wait until so and offers them, they will be
- 41:36Speaker 5: It will be roughly on July fifth, which is which
- 41:40Speaker 5: is July first, starts the negotiation of all the other
- 41:43Speaker 5: teams as far as giving him an offer, and July
- 41:46Speaker 5: fifth they can start as far as making it official.
- 41:49Speaker 3: So it's a it takes time.
- 41:53Speaker 2: All right.
- 41:53Speaker 1: We're going to do our best to stay on clock.
- 41:55Speaker 2: The number offered now twenty eight million dollars per year
- 41:59Speaker 2: average annual value on this contract. Obviously he and his agents,
- 42:04Speaker 2: especially his agents, want a little bit more than that.
- 42:07Speaker 2: But we're going to take a look at the projected
- 42:09Speaker 2: salary caps in the NBA, and of course the projected
- 42:13Speaker 2: percentage that maybe a higher number would translate to for
- 42:18Speaker 2: Walker Kessler and for the Utah Jazz. I think that's
- 42:21Speaker 2: an important part of this discussion. So we'll take a
- 42:23Speaker 2: quick break, we'll come back. We'll discuss that here on
- 42:26Speaker 2: the Sean O'Connell Show. It's ESPN seven hundred and ninety
- 42:29Speaker 2: two one FM.
- 42:38Speaker 4: Your team to the Sean O'Connell Show from the Murdoch
- 42:41Speaker 4: Chevrolet Studio of ESPN seven hundred and ninety two one
- 42:45Speaker 4: a half m.
- 42:50Speaker 2: Sean O'Connell, Gordy Chiasa here for the next little while.
- 42:53Speaker 1: On the Sean O'Connell show, Gordy.
- 42:55Speaker 5: You know why I'm playing the song shown because of
- 42:57Speaker 5: you and because of the World Cup. As we talked
- 43:00Speaker 5: last week about England England. My team beats beat Cuati
- 43:06Speaker 5: yesterday four to two, and this is the clash from England,
- 43:10Speaker 5: one of the first evid political bands in the early
- 43:13Speaker 5: nineteen eighties. So Sean, let's rock the cash ball.
- 43:16Speaker 1: Harry Kane with a great game for England yesterday, the Ghost.
- 43:20Speaker 2: So in the space of a couple of days, you
- 43:23Speaker 2: had Irving Holland score two, Killian Mbappe score two, Leo
- 43:27Speaker 2: Messi scored a hat trick, Harry Kane scored a brace
- 43:31Speaker 2: as well. Some of the top players in the world
- 43:33Speaker 2: and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't even have a shot on frame.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Who would have thunk it? Actually a lot of people did.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Do you hear Taylor Twelveman on The Rich Eisen Show
- 43:45Speaker 2: this morning, just just gloating about his predictions. He's been
- 43:49Speaker 2: talking about how Ronaldo's passed it forty one years old. Anyway,
- 43:54Speaker 2: that's a World Cup discussion. We'll have that another time.
- 43:56Speaker 4: Here.
- 43:56Speaker 2: We've got Gordy Chaza in studio and we were talking
- 44:00Speaker 2: about the Walker Kessler thing. There's a math equation that
- 44:05Speaker 2: you have to consider here when it comes to the
- 44:08Speaker 2: salary cap, when it comes to luxury tax aprons that
- 44:11Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz do not want to play with, and
- 44:15Speaker 2: when it comes to the contracts that you're already obligated
- 44:17Speaker 2: to pay to Jared Jackson Junior who's making almost fifty
- 44:22Speaker 2: million dollars next year, Lowry Markinen making what forty five
- 44:25Speaker 2: plus forty six million dollars next year and a salary
- 44:30Speaker 2: cap that's going to be what one hundred and seventy three?
- 44:33Speaker 2: I think yes, So the math stops mathing if you
- 44:39Speaker 2: overpay Walker Kessler. His agents know that to some extent.
- 44:44Speaker 2: He has to know that, and you're having this negotiation.
- 44:48Speaker 2: You're having this conversation, by the way, in the same
- 44:52Speaker 2: offseason cycle that you just saw the NBA Finals MVP
- 44:57Speaker 2: who did not take the most money that he could
- 45:00Speaker 2: they have gotten. So it feels like a bad timing
- 45:04Speaker 2: for Walker Kessler and his team to be trying to
- 45:07Speaker 2: maximize a contract right now. I know that I'm more
- 45:11Speaker 2: a prisoner of the moment than any of these agents are.
- 45:14Speaker 2: But there's just a lot of a lot of math
- 45:17Speaker 2: that you have to make work. And Gordy what Walker
- 45:20Speaker 2: Kessler a defensive specialist, a big man, a throwback to
- 45:24Speaker 2: the nineties, not really a big offensive presence. What percentage
- 45:29Speaker 2: of your salary cap can you afford to pay someone
- 45:32Speaker 2: like that and still be a winning team?
- 45:34Speaker 3: Sure?
- 45:36Speaker 1: Okay, roughly?
- 45:37Speaker 5: So next year contracts with the Jazz with choes alluding
- 45:41Speaker 5: to as far as their top heavy, as far as
- 45:44Speaker 5: in the front court. And that makes it. It's all
- 45:46Speaker 5: part of what you know again in the big picture
- 45:48Speaker 5: of things. So Jaren Jackson makes next year forty nine
- 45:51Speaker 5: million dollars, who they traded for, which means that they're
- 45:54Speaker 5: absolutely committed to him, to say the least, and he
- 45:56Speaker 5: should be. He's tremendous player. Larry Markina makes forty six
- 45:59Speaker 5: point one million. So the two players and the Jazz
- 46:02Speaker 5: are ready in the front court, they make ninety five
- 46:04Speaker 5: million dollars. And so just say, for the narrative they
- 46:08Speaker 5: offered Walker Kestler, meaning the Jazz management offered him twenty
- 46:11Speaker 5: eight million dollars times five years ago one hundred and
- 46:14Speaker 5: forty million. Just say the final settle on will say,
- 46:18Speaker 5: just for the narrative shown thirty five million an average.
- 46:22Speaker 5: So which means that the Jazz suddenly are committed to
- 46:25Speaker 5: basically one hundred and one hundred and thirty million dollars
- 46:29Speaker 5: in the front court. And so that just shows you,
- 46:33Speaker 5: that shows you that, which means then the piggyback to
- 46:36Speaker 5: add to that, then what about Count de George's all
- 46:39Speaker 5: part of the discussion is not one thing, it's the
- 46:42Speaker 5: whole roster as far as management. So Count de George,
- 46:45Speaker 5: he turns twenty three this November eighteenth. He's a young fella,
- 46:49Speaker 5: and that he's a he's a talented player, and so
- 46:52Speaker 5: he makes this year, County George, meaning next season, the
- 46:55Speaker 5: twenty six twenty seven, he makes sean only six point
- 46:59Speaker 5: five six million. Yeah, so he's saying, wait a second,
- 47:03Speaker 5: I'm part of the future here. He's an extension eligible
- 47:06Speaker 5: as far as rookie extension right now, and that if
- 47:09Speaker 5: the Jazz don't get the extension and they give him
- 47:12Speaker 5: a qualifying offer next year, he'll be restricted for the
- 47:14Speaker 5: agent after next year, like just like Walker Kessel did.
- 47:18Speaker 5: So there's a there's been a president done right now
- 47:21Speaker 5: where the Jazz paused on Walker Kesler. They did the
- 47:24Speaker 5: right thing as a matter of fact, and they might
- 47:26Speaker 5: pause on Cante George, especially Sean again, just say, if
- 47:31Speaker 5: again we're playing that game, if the Jazz do draft
- 47:35Speaker 5: Darren Peterson at two, which is very possible, if the
- 47:39Speaker 5: Jazz is staring at either Darren Peterson or Cambooser either
- 47:43Speaker 5: or you can make the discussion.
- 47:44Speaker 3: Both of them are terrific talents.
- 47:45Speaker 5: They're going to be a foundational type players.
- 47:49Speaker 2: So those is not a backcourt player. He's not right,
- 47:52Speaker 2: I mean, you can't put him in your back court.
- 47:54Speaker 5: Oh I love that discussion. Okay, all right, Sean.
- 47:58Speaker 2: Isn't he too big, Gordy, It's like two hundred and
- 48:00Speaker 2: forty pounds?
- 48:01Speaker 1: Oh?
- 48:02Speaker 5: Absolutely, Now he's a he's a forward in fact, matter
- 48:04Speaker 5: of fact, he's actually a point forward.
- 48:06Speaker 3: The way he plays.
- 48:07Speaker 5: This is Cambusa for the listeners right now, camp Bush
- 48:11Speaker 5: is much different than his dad, who had the privilege
- 48:13Speaker 5: to coach.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Okay, Cam Boozer is six'.
- 48:16Speaker 5: Nine as a matter of, fact Particularly cambusa showing you
- 48:19Speaker 5: realize and we'll go much detail On tuesday during the.
- 48:22Speaker 5: Day it also more Importantly tuesday at. Night cam bus

- 48:33Speaker 4: Is?
- 48:33Speaker 3: So Cam busa is a point.
- 48:35Speaker 2: Forward here's his official physical profile from the draft. Combine,
- 48:40Speaker 2: okay six' eight and a quarter without shoes on two
- 48:44Speaker 2: hundred and fifty.
- 48:45Speaker 1: Three pounds.

- 48:52Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty.
- 48:53Speaker 5: Plus pounds, Oh, nobody, no no. Big no the only
- 48:57Speaker 5: person that person is Ever Is. Lebron james, Yeah NO

- 49:03Speaker 5: freaks in a.
- 49:04Speaker 1: Great Way.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Lebron, James okay but back to the point you, were
- 49:08Speaker 2: making there's and.
- 49:11Speaker 5: That is that you want to you want to balance
- 49:12Speaker 5: your roster as far, as positionally as far as economics.
- 49:15Speaker 3: Of it you can't.
- 49:16Speaker 5: Have it you can't the roster showing tilted towards only,
- 49:20Speaker 5: one area meaning, what okay the front court we are
- 49:23Speaker 5: loaded and we're, top heavy and now we can't get
- 49:26Speaker 5: a mid range guy as far. As salary see just
- 49:30Speaker 5: a great break in the Sense that remember now is
- 49:33Speaker 5: that as of right, now today as, we speak, right
- 49:36Speaker 5: now guess who the third highest paid player In the
- 49:38Speaker 5: jazz is as we speak right, Now, Today.
- 49:42Speaker 1: Okay So jaron jackson junior, highest paid second highest paid.
- 49:49Speaker 3: And third as you speak right now, this moment now, this, second.
- 49:54Speaker 1: Wow. Rookie deal that's.
- 49:57Speaker 5: Exactly right but see now the. Rookie deals now wait.
- 50:00Speaker 5: A second now it's, My Turn, walker kessler and it's.
- 50:03Speaker 5: My turn Can't? They georgie you see it in the
- 50:06Speaker 5: worries for. The listeners this is so important why teams
- 50:10Speaker 5: have to manage. Their, roster now there's no, perfect roster there,
- 50:16Speaker 5: is not. Absolutely, not however the better teams that consistently
- 50:20Speaker 5: win minus, major injuries get the majority of the contracts
- 50:26Speaker 5: correct towards winning and also towards their, age group meaning
- 50:31Speaker 5: what years IN. The nba the lesser teams most times
- 50:36Speaker 5: shown they get. It wrong they overpaid dramatically on certain players,
- 50:41Speaker 5: and positions and they. Don't win and that's why they
- 50:46Speaker 5: keep doing the same mistake all. The time it's. So
- 50:50Speaker 5: important that's, For, example sean, all Right The San. Antonio
- 50:53Speaker 5: spurs they're giddy about, their Roster, the spurs because you,
- 50:58Speaker 5: know Why like Julian, shamp penny who's playing IN The,
- 51:01Speaker 5: nba finals Is making, rainbow three is trying to DEFEND
- 51:06Speaker 5: The Mvp, Jalen, brunson Sean the spurs dilemma right now
- 51:12Speaker 5: is they have a. Team option should they do it?
- 51:16Speaker 5: Or Not On, Julian, champenni sean you're sitting down. Right
- 51:19Speaker 5: now it's next year's contract is three. Million, Dollars. Oh,
- 51:24Speaker 5: Sean see sean is laughing. Right now he's giving me that,
- 51:28Speaker 5: irishman look laughing like he just HAD a tko in
- 51:32Speaker 5: the second round against somebody didn't like who stole his
- 51:35Speaker 5: girlfriend twenty five.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Years ago three.
- 51:39Speaker 1: Team option IN today's nba is. Like nothing it's.
- 51:43Speaker 6: Chump change it's like going to. The diner, that's like
- 51:48Speaker 6: that's double the league minimum.
- 51:50Speaker 5: THIS year i think the league minium right now is
- 51:54Speaker 5: With this this past year was one.
- 51:56Speaker 2: Point, nine, okay yeah but still so you're one point
- 52:00Speaker 2: one over the league minimum for a player of that
- 52:03Speaker 2: value and.
- 52:03Speaker 5: Playing right because he had, no leverage he was happy
- 52:06Speaker 5: to get a two year deal, with, This bro i'll
- 52:09Speaker 5: SHOW you i can play IN. The nba means This
- 52:11Speaker 5: is champagne, saying this and you, know something he's. Right
- 52:14Speaker 5: again this is why teams win and why teams do.
- 52:18Speaker 5: Not win and that's any sports showing it COULD, Be
- 52:21Speaker 5: nfl it could be, in baseball it could be. In,
- 52:23Speaker 5: hockey again what is the player work value? Towards winning
- 52:28Speaker 5: and that values what besides on, the ice on, the
- 52:31Speaker 5: field on, the court on the. Baseball diamond it's the
- 52:34Speaker 5: economic part of.

- 57:34Speaker 5: best ever impactful pick By the Jazz Was donovan mitchell
- 57:38Speaker 5: back in two thousand and seventeen with the thirteenth pick in.
- 57:42Speaker 5: The draft he became A Multiple, all star the second greatest.
- 57:46Speaker 5: Impactful player and you can debate this one two, two one.
- 57:50Speaker 5: It's irrelevant both these guys were. Absolutely great cal malone
- 57:54Speaker 5: pick number thirteen in the draft back in nineteen, eighty
- 57:58Speaker 5: five are you? Kidding me and number one pick number
- 58:02Speaker 5: sixteen in the draft nineteen. Eighty Four both John and
- 58:05Speaker 5: Call became hall. Of Famers john stockton is the most.
- 58:09Speaker 5: Impactful player so again we're not talking high. Draft picks we're.
- 58:15Speaker 5: Talking guys one guy was. Forty seven one guy was,
- 58:18Speaker 5: forty five one guy, was seventeen one guy was. Twenty
- 58:21Speaker 5: Seven one Hall of famer, was Sixteen one Hall of.
- 58:24Speaker 5: Famers thirteen so it shows you that you get. It
- 58:29Speaker 5: right sometimes you guys show them become, generational players.
- 58:36Speaker 2: And that's what they're looking for with the number two
- 58:38Speaker 2: pick in this upcoming draft. Very much you kind of
- 58:42Speaker 2: have to get it in. This draft especially oh in.
- 58:45Speaker 5: The, disc draft there is no absolute consolation prizes. Zero
- 58:49Speaker 5: none the top four guys with development and with. Usually
- 58:54Speaker 5: strengths see most of these guys because they're eighteen nineteen
- 58:57Speaker 5: years Old, Minus boozer who's man are ready at six'
- 59:01Speaker 5: nine two fifty five?
- 59:03Speaker 1: At?

- 59:06Speaker 5: your son well? You're, feeding him well were?
- 59:09Speaker 3: You're?
- 59:09Speaker 5: Feeding, him yikes however most guys sewn usually, JUST generally
- 59:15Speaker 5: speaking i. Call them sean they have high hips and
- 59:19Speaker 5: their leggy and that their body frame is angular and
- 59:23Speaker 5: they've got to get muscle messed with their. Chest and shoulders.
- 59:26Speaker 5: They're generally speaking so these guys are eighteen. Nineteen years
- 59:30Speaker 5: old so the top four guys are absolutely going to be.
- 59:34Speaker 5: Ready ready eventually they have all star level talent as
- 59:39Speaker 5: young people once. They get stronger and again let's reinforce
- 59:42Speaker 5: right in their Top four Guys, Agent De, Bouncer Darren,
- 59:47Speaker 5: Peterson Cam, boozer caleb wilson who's, his jumping jack unbelievable
- 59:54Speaker 5: young Fella talent from carolina and the next two guys
- 59:58Speaker 5: and five and six a Very Good also Keaton vogler
- 1:00:03Speaker 5: From illinois And darius A. Cup from arkansaw that should
- 1:00:09Speaker 5: be the first six and whatever order we'll find out,
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: during the drift but all six of those guys are
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: absolutely tremendous young fellas And TALENT and sean i am, Keeked.
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: About it.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: Gordy some other news.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: Around The association tray young is declining, his player options
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: so that makes him. A Free agent the wizards are
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: still the front runners to, re sign him but it
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: opens up The Market, for trey young and obviously they're
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: holding on to that number one overall, pick as well
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: so they want to get this right and add a
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: Talented rookie Of peterson at debonza to an already. Pretty
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: loaded roster you don't Want To lose tray young. In
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: this Situation are the warriors at risk of somebody else
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: having a Better Offer.
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: For trey young.
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: It's unlikely he's in other worries he opt out to. Get, more,
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: years yeah Yeah we'll find we're gonna find out he
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: opt out to get more years. On his contract And
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: You know trey young is, AGAIN he said i call
- 1:01:15Speaker 5: him a lightning. Rod point guard he's got talent and at,
- 1:01:20Speaker 5: age twenty seven now is he mature enough to lead
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: a team or it's still it's still.
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: All about him put, It.
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: In context sean, just generally speaking if your point, guard
- 1:01:38Speaker 5: is moody the whole. Team is moody showing if your point,
- 1:01:42Speaker 5: guard is erratic the whole.
- 1:01:44Speaker 3: Organization.
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: Is erratic sean the guy selling hot dogs in the,
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: twenty seventh row he's erratic right now because the, point
- 1:01:50Speaker 5: guard's erratic showing the guy selling sales, in the sale,
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: trying to sell trying to sell stuff. For the organization
- 1:01:56Speaker 5: he's a erratic because the. Point guard's erratic they. Get
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: my drift so the point guard is the second most
- 1:02:02Speaker 5: important position, in professional sports and we.
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: Know, Number, one sean no it's. NOT even.
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: Close nfl quarterback, without a quarterback you do not.
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Have a franchise you do.
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: Not in basketball if you don't have a point guard
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: or a guy that plays like a point, guard in,
- 1:02:22Speaker 5: words right now it. Definitely gets, blurred right now there's
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: very few old. School, point guards? However guess what and
- 1:02:30Speaker 5: the last five minutes of, every playoff game the question
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: always is who's? THE point guard i can assure You
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: when the Nicoboggis, beat the spurs the point guard?
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: Is Guess.
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: Who jellen brunson i'm positive he was. The point guard, so, always.
- 1:02:43Speaker 5: Say well basketball right now is positional list until why
- 1:02:47Speaker 5: you get to the playoffs?
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: And guess what who's? Your point guard and?
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: Then you know then you know because why you get
- 1:02:53Speaker 5: exposed your lack of what we should have passed The
- 1:02:56Speaker 5: ball to wemby?
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: Instead of what? Given the ball So except the Knixt.
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: Beat the spurs part of the reason, why not total
- 1:03:05Speaker 5: but part of It was because brunson is a better
- 1:03:08Speaker 5: point Guard Than the aaron fox in the last five
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: minutes of most.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: Of those games is that? A fair, ADJUSTMENT well.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: YEAH i, think i mean the results speak, For THEMSELVES.
- 1:03:18Speaker 5: Absolutely but i would have said that even. BEFORE it
- 1:03:21Speaker 5: happened i would, Have said that and that just shows
- 1:03:24Speaker 5: you the. Value of it, so in jazz basketball as
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: far as in this, market right now getting That Point
- 1:03:30Speaker 5: guard kante george is a. He's a guard he can.
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: Pass the ball you have a six point four, assists
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: a game which. Is really, good all right he's. A
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: scorer also, but the question as always this is that
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: you've as a point GUARD, in the nba you've got
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: to get your other teammates involved in the rhythm. Of
- 1:03:49Speaker 5: the game and so every once, in a while instead
- 1:03:52Speaker 5: of taking off and beating your guy, one on one
- 1:03:55Speaker 5: they get two feet, in the paint. Which is commendable
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: and you want to do that showing you make an
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: angle dribble to get the ball to someone coming off,
- 1:04:04Speaker 5: a screening action to get that guy who hasn't shot
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: the ball in five.
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: Or six trips.
- 1:04:09Speaker 5: Down the court they try to hit him in space
- 1:04:12Speaker 5: to get, him, going mentally, physically and spiritually to which
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: means now he'll be able to play better defense. Down
- 1:04:18Speaker 5: the floor he feels more involved and he'll crash the. Boards,
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: more offensively.
- 1:04:24Speaker 6: Gordie this is a complete left turn. Here FOR you
- 1:04:27Speaker 6: but i like left turns is how do you know?
- 1:04:31Speaker 6: Show my driving did you know you?
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: Show me driving we can tell by your incredible accent
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: that You've Got your.

- 1:05:48Speaker 2: like the most fun that. Could, ever be yeah past
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: you and you love, to see that because obviously after
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: the close out after They Won, in san antonio there
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: was a little bit of, a you, know tom foolery there,
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: was some vandalism there.
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: Were some shenanigans this the.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Team is there people, are you know simultaneously elated to
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: see them and, cheering for them but not like, going
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: overly crazy being over. Zealous about it it looks like
- 1:06:14Speaker 2: the Most fun ever it's it reminds me Of When
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: the chicago cubs Finally Won a world series and Everyone
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: in the Midwest descended on chicago for that.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: Parade very much you mean The Curse.
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: Of.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: Billy, goat yeah yeah they. Finally broke it they.
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: Finally broke, it and, again as always when there's so
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: many mess people in one situation and a few bad people,
- 1:06:39Speaker 5: do weird things it doesn't take away from the joy.
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: Of everyone else it's just. The numbers games, so, people
- 1:06:46Speaker 5: say well there's a lot. Of reckless people based on how,
- 1:06:48Speaker 5: many people there, it's very few but they.
- 1:06:52Speaker 3: Talk About it and i've.
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: Said about that the most important thing is that there's
- 1:06:55Speaker 5: A Celebration in new. York right now the, better team
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: won and that's the. Catchword right now the. Nickelbackers were
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: eighteen they were constructed Very Well. By Leon rose leon
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: rose is the general manager and the team President Of
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: The new york, knicks right now and they were able
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: to get their, roster in place and everybody had a
- 1:07:17Speaker 5: defining moment to showing. Example Right Now so landy shammitt
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: is A free, Agent july first so.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: Here we go his is.
- 1:07:24Speaker 5: Parade Right now landy shammon right. Now is celebrating he's.
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: Pounding his, chest, people say hey, We, love you lan, we,
- 1:07:31Speaker 5: love you dog, we love you. We love you, nix
- 1:07:33Speaker 5: is saying, we love you. We love You and, in
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: july first what's my contract? Going, to be hey, we
- 1:07:39Speaker 5: love you but we can't pay you. This right now
- 1:07:41Speaker 5: and that's what it. Gets so, Interesting, that's why sean
- 1:07:44Speaker 5: it's so. Hard to repeat because now players want to
- 1:07:48Speaker 5: get compensated, based on winning and. That they should so
- 1:07:53Speaker 5: the question is how much. And so again. Here we
- 1:07:56Speaker 5: are They're Celebrating, in New York. Downtown new york it's. A,
- 1:07:59Speaker 5: love fest. Hey it's wonderful and now for the, Last,
- 1:08:02Speaker 5: eight years sean those are paraded in the city of
- 1:08:05Speaker 5: those teams, and guess what It didn't repeat.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: And it feels like it's not going.
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: To Repeat again james dolan talked, about the, apron the
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: apron the salary strictures that his team if he. Wants
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: TO repeat and i. DON'T like this i understand that
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: the interviewers HE went on Wfa And in new york
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: and they're asking him about the, sustainability of this the
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: exact thing that you. Just brought up it's been a
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: brand new champion every year for the. Last, eight Years well,
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: the knicks fans now that, they taste this. They wanted
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: again they. Want it again. They wanted again but there's
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: some salary cap mechanisms that are going to, make that, really,
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: really difficult because just like we were talking About With,
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: the utah jazz you got to, extend some guys or
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: you have to try to get some people that are
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: underpaid right now up to kind of the market value
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: for Their Contruct and james dolan was, asked ABOUT that
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: and i hate throwing cold water onto it the day.
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: Before a parade but, he was like we're not going Into,
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: the second. Apron absolutely not, can't do it. Won't DO it,
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: AND i mean. I don't know There's only what cleveland
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: was the only team that went Into the second apron.
- 1:09:14Speaker 5: This, past year yeah they're knocked out, in, The playoffs underachieved,
- 1:09:18Speaker 5: so they're saying. Wait, a second remember most owners are, very,
- 1:09:22Speaker 5: smart people sure and their other business they are absolutely
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: get it right almost. All THE time but i, think
- 1:09:28Speaker 5: called sports it gets a little different now because it's so. Emotional,
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: about it yeah it's so different. Being AN owner as
- 1:09:36Speaker 5: i said this all the time as far as a
- 1:09:38Speaker 5: sports owner when, They say too when people say to, You're,
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: an owner hey what's the difference between your other business and,
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: owning a team the, owner, always says oh. It's much,
- 1:09:49Speaker 5: different how well and my other business that the owner
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: the average workforce is forty, two point five but in
- 1:09:57Speaker 5: my basketball business, or hockey business the average age is
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: what twenty three point five wild and so his, twenty
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: year gap give a take a, year or two and
- 1:10:06Speaker 5: that makes. Everything so different it's so it's. So different
- 1:10:10Speaker 5: dynamics you're dealing with a highly paid workforce that's really
- 1:10:15Speaker 5: relatively young versus a highly paid of holly paid workforce
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: that's in the top of their game at, age forty,
- 1:10:23Speaker 5: five forty, seven fifty. One fifty two, What, a difference sean.
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: When you're looking at what these teams have to figure,
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: out salary wise and An owner like dolan who doesn't
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: exactly have, the best reputation and then he's got to
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: answer a question, about would, you you know would you
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: spend max money in order to get this?
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: CITY another, championship.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: I mean he just straight, up says no which why
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: hurt the feelings of your fans when they're wild they're still.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: Celebrating a championship but the other thing about this is
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: the reality he can now be a lot greedier financially
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: than he was because you get like a ten year
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: leash now that you've won a championship, in, every business
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: right your franchise delivers a championship to, the fan base
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: the first one in. Fifty three years you now have
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: like probably a decade of skating by however you want,
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: to skate by, because, you're like yeah but remember that
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. Championship we want remember that twenty twenty six?
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: CHAMPIONSHIP we want I Mean. The utah jazz If Somehow
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: this utah jazz franchise DELIVERS you, an nba championship you're
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: good as a fan for like at, least five. Years maybe,
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: ten oh. Yeah very much you're living on that for.
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: The foreseeable future it's a Little Different in. New YORK
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: potentially but i kind of hate That For the new
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: york Knick, fans because dolan after, never getting there, not
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: getting there, not getting there not having having this exist,
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: that they wanted he. Finally has it and, now he's,
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: LIKE yees see i CAN do whatever, i want now. And,
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: he will.
- 1:12:05Speaker 5: Yes he can and If You're a nick fanders GENERALIZATION
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: of an nba situation where the original Money from the
- 1:12:14Speaker 5: knickerbockers was A, company called, Cablevision. So Sure Sean so,
- 1:12:19Speaker 5: James Doones's, father charles dolan back in the nineteen, fifties
- 1:12:23Speaker 5: and sixties his, What, He invented sean they invented the
- 1:12:27Speaker 5: technology where in every hotel room, in the country when
- 1:12:32Speaker 5: you want to, watch a movie you press A button
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: for at that time, six, ninety, nine seven nine. Eight
- 1:12:37Speaker 5: ninety nine that was them the Original cable vision are?
- 1:12:42Speaker 5: You kidding me and that so that gave them the
- 1:12:45Speaker 5: seed money to, say the least the boy member the
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: the Organization, owns The, knicks The, Rangers The, garden Radio
- 1:12:56Speaker 5: city the Rockets. And other uh the sphere Is, Sphere,
- 1:13:01Speaker 5: in vegas.
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: Vegas and now the new one that's Being? Built in
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: saudi Is? That Worth yeah in Saudi For An Abu,
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: dhabi mane. Yeah uh yeah and ACTUALLY there's a i
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: don't know if you would call. It a conspiracy there's
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: a theory out there that The reason the knicks we're
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: able to create this championship run is Because.
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: Of the sphere have?
- 1:13:20Speaker 4: You?
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: HEARD this no. I, have not.
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: No tell me there are business folks in basketball folks
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: who think that the Reason that the knicks finally got
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: over the hump here Is because the sphere has been
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: occupying So much of dolan's personal attention and time and
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: like He flies to vegas. All the time he's like
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: he's trying to make the sphere a thing and, a
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: franchiseable thing so we can build four or five more
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: of them.
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: Around the world they Want One.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: In hong kong he Wants It, in abu dhabi he Wants,
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: it in vegas he Wants. It in london and there
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: are a lot of business people who think because he
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: is so preoccupied, with the sphere he stopped for the

- 1:23:15Speaker 2: not even have a copy of that contract. On file
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: somewhere stranger, things, have, Happened no sir, i'm, TELLING you
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: like i had a conversation not so long ago with
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: my BOSSES. At the pfl they had no idea about
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: a clause that was in My contract, that i'm like
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: this is like one of the more serious and important
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: thing that's in things that's. In my contract i've been
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: acutely aware of its existence in the contract since the
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: very beginning. OF the contract i knew when that. CLAUSE
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: kicked in i have thought about it every month since the.
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: Clause kicked in they had no idea it. Was in
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: there they had no clue it was in the person who,
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: signed the contract the person who. Approved the contract there's.
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: Like multiple layers there's redundancy in an organization. Like that
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: one there should be like four people who know what's.
- 1:24:11Speaker 2: In my contract. There was zero so if you're out
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: there and you've got some bonuses, IN your contract i
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: don't want to encourage you to, do anything unethical but
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: you might for the sake of. Research purposes only you
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: might just for the sake of getting to the bottom.
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: Of corporate communication let's say you've GOT like a, i
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: don't know a sales bonus that kicks in if you hit.

- 1:24:59Speaker 2: couple years later and then you might have to. Pay
- 1:25:01Speaker 2: it back but just for research purposes on you. Just
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: do it and you don't even, take the money, just,
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: be like hey just, so you know you guys were

- 1:37:03Speaker 2: by THE way before i get, into the leaderboard if
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: you Listen To The dan patrick show this morning every
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: day from seven to ten here, on the station they
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: were doing a poll would YOU Rather win Us open
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: at shinnacock or walk.
- 1:37:19Speaker 6: On the?
- 1:37:19Speaker 8: Moon reason why apparently only three people have finished Under
- 1:37:26Speaker 8: par at SHINNACOCK In a us open and nine people
- 1:37:31Speaker 8: have walked.
- 1:37:31Speaker 1: On the moon.
- 1:37:34Speaker 8: So less people have finished under a tournament UNDER Par
- 1:37:38Speaker 8: a us open tournament Under par at shinnacock than have walked.
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: On the moon so they're doing a tongue.
- 1:37:43Speaker 2: In cheek poll and of course whether people were joking
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: or because it's a show full of sports fans, AND
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: Probably golfers us open. Won the pole but that's how
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: difficult to test this typically is that being said oc
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: there's a good number of people under par, al right
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: now so that list is probably gonna go up if it,
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: if it, continues like hey.
- 1:38:05Speaker 8: We're, day one, Hey but hey i'm just. Saying day
- 1:38:08Speaker 8: one i'm just saying there's, six, there's uh yes six.
- 1:38:11Speaker 8: Golfers under, Par so far rory McElroy's your leader. At
- 1:38:14Speaker 8: Three under sam stevens is second by himself. At two
- 1:38:19Speaker 8: under he's finished. For the day rory's got a couple
- 1:38:21Speaker 8: holes Left and, Then I'm sorry sam stevens is tied
- 1:38:26Speaker 8: For Second. With ben james they're both, at two under
- 1:38:28Speaker 8: one shot.
- 1:38:29Speaker 2: Off The lead ben james has got a few holes
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: left so he's got a chance to uh to improve
- 1:38:34Speaker 2: his score and then tied for Fourth You, Got Ludwig Oberg,
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: Brian Harmon loo larie canter. At One under larry canter
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: went under part in, his first hole so. There you
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: go he's gonna he's gonna. Go eighteen under here today
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: they're at one under park a couple of shots, off
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: the lead a bunch of guys At Even, INCLUDING Tommy
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: Fleetwood us Ryder, Cup Captain, Keegan Keegan, bradley alex fitzpatrick
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: and a. Bunch Of others tony fenaw not. IN the
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: field i guess he didn't QUALIFY For, the us open
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: like he hasn't qualified for further. Majors this year BUT
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: That's your pj, tour leaderboard update brought TO you by U.
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: Into golf. O see six there could be.
- 1:39:17Speaker 2: Six new people there could be not as many people
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: finishing Under par at shinnecock as have walked.
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: On the moon if this.
- 1:39:25Speaker 2: Score, holds up okay this is it really is an
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: Insane stat the it is THE Most difficult. Us open
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: course there is the record FOREVER At a Us Open
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: at shinnecock hills, four under par the best round that's
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: ever or the best tournament that's ever been PLAYED In.
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: The us open there and actually in two, thousand and
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: four the course layout must have been, easier than normal
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: the whole positioning must have been. Easier than normal because
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: of the three that have ever done IT In a
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: Us Open, at shinnakok hills two of them were in two.
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: Thousand and Four It was ratief Goosen One and phil

- 1:40:09Speaker 2: one Of one of phil's many RUNNER Ups. At, us,
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: opens yeah yeah that's that was just. AN insane stat
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: i think. The obvious answers you'd still want to walk,
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: on the moon but it's a it's more rare to
- 1:40:25Speaker 2: finish under PAR At a Us open at shinnecock than
- 1:40:28Speaker 2: it is to walk. On the moon six and fifty
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: four players coming, into this year six hundred and, fifty four,
- 1:40:34Speaker 2: golfers all professionals all people that QUALIFIED For the us
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: open have teed it UP In a Us open at
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: shinnecock and three finished under par after four. Days of

- 1:44:21Speaker 2: That this shitnacok hills course is tear it up the,
- 1:44:23Speaker 2: field right now and of course that's what it's known
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: FOR In. The us open what do you see it in? First, Round,
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: Play john well.
- 1:44:30Speaker 7: I'm SEEING exactly, what i expected which is just a very.
- 1:44:33Speaker 7: DIFFICULT golf course i had one of my most fun.
- 1:44:37Speaker 7: Days in golf we got To Play The, national golf
- 1:44:39Speaker 7: links which is across The street from shinnacock, in the
- 1:44:41Speaker 7: morning and Then we played hinnacock. In the afternoon and
- 1:44:44Speaker 7: it Was, a regular tuesday just a regular run of
- 1:44:48Speaker 7: the Mid Day. At SHINNECOCK hills AND i WAS i
- 1:44:51Speaker 7: think i was even a professional golfer, at The time
- 1:44:53Speaker 7: and i've really hit the BALL well AND i think
- 1:44:56Speaker 7: i shot seventy five and IT Wasn't a, us Open
- 1:44:59Speaker 7: setup so i'm not sure how much harder they. Can
- 1:45:03Speaker 7: make it but then once you TUNE Into, the us
- 1:45:05Speaker 7: open you. Can see it and they've had all kinds,
- 1:45:08Speaker 7: of weather today, lots of wind they had a two
- 1:45:10Speaker 7: hour fog, delay this morning and so it is testing
- 1:45:15Speaker 7: every part. Of everybody's game you're so you're just, just For,
- 1:45:19Speaker 7: instance sports koepka he had kind of. Slapped it around he's,
- 1:45:23Speaker 7: one over part he got one hole to go and
- 1:45:26Speaker 7: MIT's the fairway by less than a. Foot double bogie
- 1:45:29Speaker 7: now he's three over par and his lunch is not
- 1:45:32Speaker 7: tasting very.
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: Good right now so it's not every course you play
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: on the tour that beats you. Up like this do
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: the guys, in the field do they typically. Relish these
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: challenges everyone is obviously playing, the same course so it's
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: gonna be.
- 1:45:48Speaker 1: Difficult for everyone.
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: Is this something that the, Guys, Are like yeah i'm
- 1:45:52Speaker 2: excited to go TACKLE this, because i. Mean it's windy
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: you talk, about the weather and you talk about, the
- 1:45:57Speaker 2: course layout you know it's not going to be like
- 1:46:00Speaker 2: a good day of golf for you necessarily compared to some.
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: Of the scores these guys are used, to putting up
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: but do.
- 1:46:06Speaker 7: They, relish it well there's a saying in professional golf there's,
- 1:46:10Speaker 7: horses for courses and some people love this type of
- 1:46:13Speaker 7: golf and other. PLAYERS don't like i never liked playing
- 1:46:17Speaker 7: tournament where the winning score was going to be twenty.
- 1:46:19Speaker 7: TWO under par i just don't make. That MANY birdies
- 1:46:22Speaker 7: but I love to i love a golf course where
- 1:46:25Speaker 7: where you apar is. A good scorer and that's always
- 1:46:28Speaker 7: been the Philosophy Of The United states golf association when
- 1:46:31Speaker 7: they set the courses UP For, the us open they
- 1:46:33Speaker 7: want they want you to be. Right AROUND par and
- 1:46:36Speaker 7: i was just talking. To your producer there's A great
- 1:46:39Speaker 7: stat THEY'VE Had four Us opens at shinnikock and only
- 1:46:43Speaker 7: three people have ever finished The tournament under.
- 1:46:45Speaker 1: Park and two were in.
- 1:46:46Speaker 7: The, same year YEAH and and i believe they were
- 1:46:49Speaker 7: two under. And one under it it's not like they
- 1:46:51Speaker 7: went to. ELEVEN or, twelve i MEAN it's, LIKE i
- 1:46:54Speaker 7: said i played there. MANY years ago i hit a
- 1:46:56Speaker 7: great drive on the FIRST hole and i had a
- 1:46:57Speaker 7: perfect little sandwich and it took more balances before it
- 1:47:01Speaker 7: started to spin and barely held. Onto The green and.
- 1:47:04Speaker 7: I'm like wow and then YOU Mix in us OPEN
- 1:47:08Speaker 7: Setup and us open pressure and you're seeing exactly what we.
- 1:47:12Speaker 7: Expected To see and rory McElroy's having. A great round
- 1:47:15Speaker 7: he just bogied, his seventeenth pole but he's still. Too
- 1:47:18Speaker 7: under par and then the BEAUTY Of the, Us, open
- 1:47:20Speaker 7: here jean is. Anyone can qualify if you have a,
- 1:47:23Speaker 7: handicap low enough you can enter. The local qualifier you,
- 1:47:26Speaker 7: get through that and then you can go. To the
- 1:47:27Speaker 7: sectionals and you have a couple, of good rounds and
- 1:47:30Speaker 7: YOU'RE Playing the us open right right, alongside the professionals
- 1:47:33Speaker 7: and there's a couple of. Qualifiers in there they, are
- 1:47:36Speaker 7: professional golfers but they had to go through the qualifying.
- 1:47:39Speaker 7: To get in and here they are near the top of.
- 1:47:42Speaker 7: The LEADER board so i ALWAYS Love the us open
- 1:47:45Speaker 7: for that aspect. Of it Too because the masters, is
- 1:47:48Speaker 7: invitation only the criteria for qualifying, are very STRICT But,
- 1:47:53Speaker 7: the us, open, it's like hey if you're good enough
- 1:47:55Speaker 7: and you, shoot, the scores yeah let's go to shinegoque
- 1:47:57Speaker 7: and see. What you have so really. Lots OF fun
- 1:48:00Speaker 7: and i think the, regular EVERYDAY golfer which i, AM
- 1:48:04Speaker 7: one now i like to watch them struggle, a. LITTLE bit.
- 1:48:07Speaker 7: Don't i don't it's not as fun FOR me when
- 1:48:09Speaker 7: i watch a guy shoot sixty two. AND sixty four
- 1:48:12Speaker 7: i love it when a guy's really grinding and getting
- 1:48:14Speaker 7: up and down and making par putts and figures out
- 1:48:17Speaker 7: a way to shoot two or Three hundred part and
- 1:48:18Speaker 7: that's what they're.
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: Doing this week, so right now?
- 1:48:22Speaker 2: What six guys seven guys under par, at the moment
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: and obviously you got three more, days of this SO
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: everything and i think we'll regress back to The mean
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: and shinnakok will probably have similar results to what it has.
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: Every single, YEAR whose, game i mean we see the,
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: leaderboard right now whose game is best fit for this
- 1:48:42Speaker 2: course and maybe.
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: Even, THESE conditions.
- 1:48:45Speaker 7: Well i mean it's easy to say rory because he's tied,
- 1:48:48Speaker 7: for the lead But it is rory and Those. Types
- 1:48:50Speaker 7: because shinnikok the one thing it's a bit generous for
- 1:48:54Speaker 7: is you can the driving, areas are generous and that's
- 1:48:58Speaker 7: UNUSUAL For a us. Open set up normally the driving areas.
- 1:49:02Speaker 7: Are quite narrow you hit it in the rough and
- 1:49:04Speaker 7: you really are you really have to just hack it
- 1:49:06Speaker 7: back to the fairway and see if you can get
- 1:49:08Speaker 7: up and Down For par the shinnecock has some really
- 1:49:12Speaker 7: deep rescue if you. Miss the fairways but the fairways.
- 1:49:14Speaker 7: Are pretty generous so the guys who'd like to bomb,
- 1:49:18Speaker 7: and Gouge it like Bryce and d chambeau and those
- 1:49:20Speaker 7: types who need a little bit more, wide driving area
- 1:49:24Speaker 7: they're they're gonna be a they're gonna have a little
- 1:49:26Speaker 7: bit better TIME With a us open. Setup like this
- 1:49:29Speaker 7: and he hasn't even. Teed off Yet, we mentioned bryce
- 1:49:32Speaker 7: and we're delayed for two hours thanks, To The fog
- 1:49:35Speaker 7: so i'll be. INTERESTED to see i think, the morning
- 1:49:38Speaker 7: wave which you're they're just finishing their, ROUNDS right now
- 1:49:41Speaker 7: i think they got they probably got the worst of
- 1:49:43Speaker 7: the weather because the fog and the cold. And the
- 1:49:47Speaker 7: wind that's. That's NO fun and i think the afternoon
- 1:49:51Speaker 7: it's starting to get a, little bit. Sunny little warmer
- 1:49:53Speaker 7: the wind, is still up but it's a. Little more,
- 1:49:56Speaker 7: Doable but well i'm sitting, at my desk not completely a.
- 1:50:00Speaker 7: Bunch of work I'M Watching. The uf open so if
- 1:50:04Speaker 7: you're calling me about, Your real estate i'll get.
- 1:50:06Speaker 1: Back to you let the man live all of your.
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: Real, Estate clients okay john right is our guess Here
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: on the shot O'Connell Show talking Us Open. At shinnecock
- 1:50:16Speaker 2: hills we've seen some impressive. Putts made already what are these?
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: Greens playing like for what?
- 1:50:20Speaker 7: You, could see oh they are some, of the trickiest
- 1:50:23Speaker 7: Most diabolical greens i've. EVER played on i do remember on,
- 1:50:27Speaker 7: THE eighteenth hole i hit a really GOOD shot and
- 1:50:29Speaker 7: i was about fifteen feet above THE hole and i
- 1:50:32Speaker 7: literally tapped it and it barely missed the hole and went,
- 1:50:36Speaker 7: fifteen FEET by and i was. Just Like wow and
- 1:50:39Speaker 7: i've seen on some of the coverage, today AS well
- 1:50:41Speaker 7: where i believe it was jj' spawney hit the ball
- 1:50:44Speaker 7: onto the green and it was right at the top
- 1:50:46Speaker 7: of a knoll, and, THEY'RE like oh i can't believe. It,
- 1:50:48Speaker 7: stayed there well they cut to another couple of players
- 1:50:51Speaker 7: and they Come back and JJ's hitting it out of
- 1:50:53Speaker 7: the bucker because the wind just tipped it a little
- 1:50:56Speaker 7: bit down one of the slopes and. Into the sand so.
- 1:50:59Speaker 7: They're very difficult and you mix in wind and had
- 1:51:03Speaker 7: some rain and a little, bit of cold and they mix.
- 1:51:06Speaker 7: It even, harder and honestly those are the Big numbers
- 1:51:09Speaker 7: that i've seen where a guy will get it, on
- 1:51:12Speaker 7: the green he's, out of position but he's on the
- 1:51:14Speaker 7: green twenty feet. Putting for, par, you think okay he,
- 1:51:18Speaker 7: might make, par but worse he's. Gonna. Make bobe no next,
- 1:51:20Speaker 7: thing you know he's three putts for a double and plummets.
- 1:51:23Speaker 7: Down the leaderboard and we're going to. See THAT constantly
- 1:51:27Speaker 7: AND i think i looked. AT the weather i think
- 1:51:29Speaker 7: as the weather gets hotter and the, course dries out
- 1:51:33Speaker 7: it makes it. Even more difficult but we do have
- 1:51:36Speaker 7: to give Credit To The United. States golf association they
- 1:51:39Speaker 7: knew this. Weather was coming and the greens aren't nearly
- 1:51:41Speaker 7: as fast as they normally are because, with this wind
- 1:51:45Speaker 7: the ball wouldn't even.
- 1:51:46Speaker 1: Stay on them that's going to be.
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: My next QUESTION this, wind i mean how do you
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: play if it's already a, tough course layout how do
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: you play in this wind on?
- 1:51:56Speaker 1: Top, OF that.
- 1:51:57Speaker 7: Well i think it's for the. Mentally extreme strong you.
- 1:52:01Speaker 7: Have to be you have to realize how tough it
- 1:52:04Speaker 7: is and not get. Frustrated the minute the minute you
- 1:52:07Speaker 7: let this get you frustrated and you start to you
- 1:52:10Speaker 7: start to press things and try to and try to
- 1:52:13Speaker 7: get it all back. On one hole that's when it
- 1:52:15Speaker 7: gets away from you and. It's very difficult and that's
- 1:52:17Speaker 7: where a good caddy comes. In AS well, where i
- 1:52:20Speaker 7: mean You're Looking at scottie scheffler was all the way
- 1:52:22Speaker 7: up to. Three over par it's so easy for a
- 1:52:26Speaker 7: lesser player, to just say, you know what this is
- 1:52:28Speaker 7: too hard and then you just kind. Of give, up
- 1:52:30Speaker 7: you don't, you don't quit. But you don't you don't
- 1:52:33Speaker 7: give it. Your best anymore you're. Kind of frustrated the next,
- 1:52:36Speaker 7: thing you know you turn a three over par into
- 1:52:39Speaker 7: an eight over par and you. Miss a cut so
- 1:52:41Speaker 7: it's just it's a. Real mental grind these guys when they,
- 1:52:45Speaker 7: finish their round they're they're going to, be physically tired but.
- 1:52:47Speaker 7: Mentally it's exhausting.
- 1:52:50Speaker 1: When you're.
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: Battling everyone's battling kind of just to be at par
- 1:52:55Speaker 2: is a, bogie more daunting or, is it, like all
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: right well everyone's making, THESE mistakes today i, CAN you
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: know i can get back. To the field how do
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: you process that when you're on a, Course, like, this.
- 1:53:07Speaker 7: Well honestly that, Is. The key sean it's when you
- 1:53:09Speaker 7: get yourself. Out of position you're no longer on an.
- 1:53:14Speaker 7: Easier golf course you hit, a poor drive You're. Still
- 1:53:16Speaker 7: thinking bertie when you hit a poor drive into the
- 1:53:19Speaker 7: deeper STUFF At the Us Open, at shinnecock hills you're trying, to,
- 1:53:24Speaker 7: figure out okay let's give myself a chance for par
- 1:53:28Speaker 7: and no. Worse than bogey and some bogeys are very
- 1:53:31Speaker 7: acceptable when you're out of POSITION At. The us open
- 1:53:34Speaker 7: and there's plenty of times when you are and you're happy,
- 1:53:37Speaker 7: with the bogey and you'd gladly go to the next
- 1:53:39Speaker 7: hole with that boguey because you can make that up
- 1:53:42Speaker 7: with one good shot on the next hole and you're
- 1:53:44Speaker 7: and you're right back. To even par it's the doubles
- 1:53:47Speaker 7: and triples that just. They'll kill you, and so yeah
- 1:53:51Speaker 7: you have that's another part of The mindset that i'm
- 1:53:53Speaker 7: talking about is where you have to change your expectations
- 1:53:56Speaker 7: and you really have to Be, okay with hey look.
- 1:53:59Speaker 7: A bogey here let's get, out of here no worse
- 1:54:01Speaker 7: than that and go to. The next hole and it's very,
- 1:54:04Speaker 7: difficult to do especially for these guys because they're used
- 1:54:06Speaker 7: to they can hit any, shot any time and, they're,
- 1:54:09Speaker 7: always thinking berdie.
- 1:54:11Speaker 1: Is this a place because of how?
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: Notorious it is is this a place that guys will
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: on a free weekend or, In the offseason, we'll be,
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: like you know let me go get some Reps. In
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: at shinnecock if they know that, there's YOU Know a
- 1:54:24Speaker 2: us open, Date coming up have these guys put in
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: Extra rounds at shinnacock in preparation?
- 1:54:30Speaker 1: For, THIS weekend well, i think.
- 1:54:32Speaker 7: So especially the guys, with private planes because it's all
- 1:54:36Speaker 7: the way at The Tip of Long Island, in east
- 1:54:38Speaker 7: hampton so it's not easy. To get, THERE in fact
- 1:54:41Speaker 7: i think the traffic out there, is a, joke so
- 1:54:44Speaker 7: everybody most of the fans are on coming. Off the,
- 1:54:46Speaker 7: train but no WE Had the, US open here i
- 1:54:50Speaker 7: believe it, was twenty eighteen so a lot of the
- 1:54:52Speaker 7: guys in the field have. Played It before brooks keopka.
- 1:54:56Speaker 7: Was The winner then i'm a little surprised At how
- 1:54:59Speaker 7: well rory's pla he missed cut. In twenty eighteen, so,
- 1:55:03Speaker 7: it's it's uh it's not the easiest course, to get
- 1:55:05Speaker 7: to but it's such an iconic golf course that it'd
- 1:55:09Speaker 7: be one that if you Were In the, new york
- 1:55:11Speaker 7: area you'd probably go, and play it play That one
- 1:55:14Speaker 7: in national just just because it's such a. Great golf
- 1:55:16Speaker 7: course and and these guys they have their schedules that
- 1:55:19Speaker 7: they know. What they're doing when they get CLOSE To
- 1:55:22Speaker 7: a us open venue two or, three weeks ago they'll
- 1:55:25Speaker 7: they'll grab their plane and run up there and play
- 1:55:28Speaker 7: it all day once and then and then go back
- 1:55:30Speaker 7: to their. Regular tour schedules so the good players have definitely.
- 1:55:33Speaker 7: SCATTERED it out i love.
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: And simultaneously hate that that's the thing in golf when, you,
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: could say well the guys who have, THEIR own planes
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: i love to do this because it's like it's just
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: not something we're accustomed to talking about. WITH other, sports
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: i mean plenty of those guys have the, money for
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: planes but it's obviously more part of the golf culture and.
- 1:55:53Speaker 1: Getting, yourself Around.
- 1:55:55Speaker 7: Well the jazz have. Their own plane it's just they,
- 1:55:57Speaker 7: but you Know, the, Team, yeah yeah no it's for
- 1:56:02Speaker 7: the guys that. CAN afford it a lot. Of THEM
- 1:56:04Speaker 7: do when, i say that a lot of them do the.
- 1:56:06Speaker 7: Fractional ownership stuff and so it just really for as much,
- 1:56:11Speaker 7: as they travel it just it shaves hours and hours
- 1:56:15Speaker 7: off their total. Travel travel time it saves days per
- 1:56:18Speaker 7: year where they, can you know and then and not
- 1:56:21Speaker 7: to mention the fatigue and the lost golf club. And,
- 1:56:23Speaker 7: everything else.
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: Yeah, and you, can you know if you got that
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: access to that and your family wants to be, part
- 1:56:28Speaker 2: of it if you. DO have, kids i mean it's
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: there's a reason that's the other half. Lives that way
- 1:56:33Speaker 2: it's the ultimate convenience if you can.
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: PULL it.
- 1:56:36Speaker 2: OFF i don't i, don't begrudge anyone but it's just
- 1:56:38Speaker 2: one of those things, where, you're like man how?
- 1:56:40Speaker 7: WOULD it be i found the best way to fly
- 1:56:44Speaker 7: private is with someone else's plane because that way you never.
- 1:56:48Speaker 7: See Those bills so i've been lucky enough to be
- 1:56:50Speaker 7: on PRIVATE aircraft and i have no idea what the
- 1:56:53Speaker 7: jet fuel costs. Or anything else and THAT'S the way
- 1:56:56Speaker 7: i NEED it because i. Can't afford it it's like it's.
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: Like it's summertime it's like. The boat thing the best
- 1:57:02Speaker 2: boat is. Somebody else's boat.
- 1:57:03Speaker 7: It's the best you don't want, to absolutely true.
- 1:57:06Speaker 1: You don't have to.
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: Deal with it although the official Stance of the sean
- 1:57:09Speaker 2: O'Connell show is go ahead and use, other people's boats. Bring,
- 1:57:12Speaker 2: gas money okay don't put that on. The boat owner we're,
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: always chip in all right that if you're a listener,
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: to this show chip in.
- 1:57:20Speaker 7: Or, At, least offer yeah.
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: At least offer maybe not with, THE jet fuel i
- 1:57:25Speaker 2: imagine that's a little bit more daunting of, a chip
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: in but, with the boats you can at least.
- 1:57:30Speaker 3: Do.
- 1:57:31Speaker 7: That totally hey, By The, way zach blair, our local favorite?
- 1:57:35Speaker 7: Who again who zach is not having a good YEAR
- 1:57:38Speaker 7: On the pga tour's hat of back. Couple of years he's,
- 1:57:40Speaker 7: battled some injuries but just, Like Anyone else zach blair
- 1:57:45Speaker 7: went to the qualifying went through and shot a couple
- 1:57:49Speaker 7: of good scores and actually won. His qualifying site and
- 1:57:52Speaker 7: he has burdied. His first hole and when you bury,
- 1:57:55Speaker 7: the first hole You jump To tye for forth on.
- 1:57:58Speaker 7: The leader board let's at, one under par so it'll
- 1:58:02Speaker 7: be fun to watch him see. How He does tony
- 1:58:05Speaker 7: finow or another local FAVORITE On, the pga tour he
- 1:58:08Speaker 7: was at the same Qualifying side as zach and he
- 1:58:11Speaker 7: was right there close and he made a couple of
- 1:58:13Speaker 7: late bogies and. Did NOT qualify So I think zach
- 1:58:17Speaker 7: blair is the one to watch if you want to Pull.
- 1:58:19Speaker 7: For a utahan we DID. Go to byu we got to.
- 1:58:22Speaker 7: Let it go.
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: It's, all right sorry once, they become pros it's all
- 1:58:25Speaker 2: you just go for whoever's.
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: FROM the area i.
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: Agree With that scotty scheffler came into as a tournament
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: favorite for the, fifteenth straight major, AND you know i
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: don't know if the people, out there listening if your
- 1:58:39Speaker 2: big time sports, betters or not but the action was
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: on him early and now people are seeing the round
- 1:58:46Speaker 2: begin and so Now They're fading scotty scheffler and feeling
- 1:58:49Speaker 2: like it's not going to translate for him with this
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: course and, with his skill can he play himself back
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: to the top.
- 1:58:55Speaker 7: Of, the field well if anyone, can do, it it's
- 1:58:58Speaker 7: him and he's he's, two over par which is what
- 1:59:00Speaker 7: three shots out, of the lead four shots out, of
- 1:59:02Speaker 7: the lead and he's got only three, Holes to go
- 1:59:05Speaker 7: so if he can get in, IT plus two i
- 1:59:08Speaker 7: think with the way he hit It, IN the cup
- 1:59:09Speaker 7: i was, watching him earlier with the way he, hit
- 1:59:12Speaker 7: the ball and he got a couple of bad breaks
- 1:59:14Speaker 7: and missed a couple, OF short cutts i feel like
- 1:59:18Speaker 7: he's Just fine because scotty can do things that the
- 1:59:21Speaker 7: whole rest of, the field cannot and we've noticed that.
- 1:59:24Speaker 7: This year especially he's got off to a very poor
- 1:59:26Speaker 7: start in a lot of events and then made a
- 1:59:29Speaker 7: charge through the, last three rounds and some he's won
- 1:59:32Speaker 7: and some he's come. Up just short but if there's
- 1:59:34Speaker 7: anywhere you can, make up GROUND It's. The us open
- 1:59:37Speaker 7: AND by That I, mean johnny, miller for INSTANCE Won
- 1:59:40Speaker 7: his us open in nineteen Seventy. Three at oakmont he
- 1:59:43Speaker 7: shot sixty three in, the final round which was a
- 1:59:47Speaker 7: record By far at oakmont or EVER In. The us
- 1:59:50Speaker 7: open and he was done with his round almost two hours,
- 1:59:53Speaker 7: before the leaders and he shot all the way. At
- 1:59:55Speaker 7: the leader gordon won and he didn't get. To a
- 1:59:57Speaker 7: playoff he just. Wanted out right so if you one
- 2:00:00Speaker 7: of those days where shinnecock doesn't matter how. Hard it
- 2:00:03Speaker 7: is if you're just completely in control of your golf
- 2:00:05Speaker 7: ball and you get, that putter rolling you can go
- 2:00:08Speaker 7: from tie for forty seventh in the first and it
- 2:00:12Speaker 7: can happen really fast because you don't have to, shoot
- 2:00:14Speaker 7: ten under you shoot four under a you leap frog
- 2:00:16Speaker 7: about half.
- 2:00:17Speaker 2: The fields, total aside here do you have a horse
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: in the RACE In This?
- 2:00:24Speaker 1: Fifa?
- 2:00:25Speaker 7: WORLD cup boh I. Always liked spain we have A
- 2:00:30Speaker 7: couple of spanish Golfers on The university of utah Golf
- 2:00:34Speaker 7: team that i'm, still involved WITH and so I pull
- 2:00:38Speaker 7: FOR spain and i think, they're the favorite even though
- 2:00:40Speaker 7: that tie they had the other day was, a bit unsettling.
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: Just only the first game. OF the tournament i think
- 2:00:47Speaker 2: they're gonna be. All right there there's a reason why
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: they're favored so and their best player didn't come on until,
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: after THE half so i think they.
- 2:00:54Speaker 7: Were that's true and the obvious One Is, the UNITED
- 2:00:57Speaker 7: states and i never really give that much of a.
- 2:01:00Speaker 7: CHANCE to do i hope they get out, of GROUP
- 2:01:02Speaker 7: stage and i hope they win a game or two in.
- 2:01:04Speaker 7: The knockout stage but After watching, That paraguay, game i'm like, Wait.
- 2:01:08Speaker 1: A minute yeah maybe.
- 2:01:09Speaker 7: Maybe they're sucking me in and making me believe that

- 2:05:30Speaker 2: Seven two fm you.
- 2:05:37Speaker 4: Tune to The sean O'Connell Show For The murdoch CHEVROLET.
- 2:05:41Speaker 4: Studio of espn.
- 2:06:11Speaker 1: Is you ready for me to jump?
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: ON a bandwagon I never thought i'd be on it's
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: Time To.
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: Bench. Cristiano ronaldo, baby.
- 2:06:20Speaker 2: You know in The Last time christiano ronaldo scored in
- 2:06:22Speaker 2: a Major tournament for portugal.
- 2:06:25Speaker 1: Was it was, like twenty. Eighteen wasn't it it was like? Five?
- 2:06:31Speaker 2: Years ago, yeah even okay so not. Quite as long
- 2:06:35Speaker 2: you know what? Insane that is that is It probably
- 2:06:39Speaker 2: was euros TWENTY twenty because i think they played that in.
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: Twenty twenty.
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: One that's yeah he is forty, one YEARS old and
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: i am, By the way i'm taking every bit Of
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: This from taylor Twelveman's Appearance On The rich eisend.
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: Show this, MORNING so, you i.
- 2:06:59Speaker 2: Mean soccer guy said it's SO of course i, can
- 2:07:03Speaker 2: say it and everyone accepts its.
- 2:07:05Speaker 1: Accepts, it's true.
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: Well the people who know are starting to question Whether
- 2:07:11Speaker 2: Or not christiano ronaldo is becoming a Liability for that
- 2:07:14Speaker 2: portugal team or if he's still an Asset for. That
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: portugal team and that was the crux of a good
- 2:07:20Speaker 2: portion of the conversation this Morning On the rich Eisen
- 2:07:24Speaker 2: On The. Rich isison show because he's forty one and the,
- 2:07:26Speaker 2: Pace is different he's not as fast as he. Used
- 2:07:28Speaker 2: to be he doesn't have the fluidity of the twenty
- 2:07:31Speaker 2: forty year olds around him. In his game and the
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: other thing Here Is, that christiano ronaldo he is incapable
- 2:07:39Speaker 2: of letting a cross go past him to get to
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: the open. Guy behind him he. Can't do it, that's
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: my ball, it's his ball and of course.
- 2:07:47Speaker 1: It's your ball he's been the leading goal scorer in
- 2:07:50Speaker 1: international soccer for. His entire career he's one hundred and
- 2:07:53Speaker 1: forty three goals. In international competition he, Is the guy.
- 2:07:57Speaker 2: He's a megastar that is also like you, always talk
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: about you always hear when YOU watch an nba game
- 2:08:03Speaker 2: or a, college basketball game making.
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: The extra pass so you have.
- 2:08:07Speaker 2: An open three you might have a pretty open three,
- 2:08:09Speaker 2: from the wing but the guy and that the guy,
- 2:08:12Speaker 2: closest to you teammate, closer to you is wide open from,
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: the corner three which is closer and a. Lot better,
- 2:08:18Speaker 2: shot that's Like That's like steph, curry be it which
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: he makes that extra pass quite a bit right him,
- 2:08:27Speaker 2: him going no never make, the Extra Pass Because. I'M
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: steph curry i MAKE every. Three i, take it's Like
- 2:08:32Speaker 2: Not even steph curry makes every. Three he takes maybe
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: pass it to. The open guy That's Seems like christiano
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: ronaldo doesn't quite think that way.
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: THAT soccer, Term i.
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: Mean i'm a big body language guy when it comes
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: To Sports and world cup soccer is the worst place
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: for body language because everyone looks like they're dead when
- 2:08:52Speaker 2: someone steps, on their foot, they freak out they. Cry
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: like babies the whole body language thing. In international soccer
- 2:08:59Speaker 2: it's me trying to read A book that i don't
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: know what language. IT'S written in i have. To admit
- 2:09:04Speaker 2: That but christ jannilbernaldo's body language and facial expressions are
- 2:09:10Speaker 2: the kind of thing that you want to punch him
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: in the face if, YOU'RE a teammate. I Know you
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: like kobe was hard on, Everyone Around him michael jordan
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: was hard on. Everyone around him there's a certain level
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: of cantankerousness that you earn by being the best player,
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: on the floor, on the field, on. The pitch whatever
- 2:09:28Speaker 2: and it's okay that, he's THAT way because i we
- 2:09:32Speaker 2: would all be this.
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: Way If We.
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: Were christiano ronaldo you're like, the best, looking most famous
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: most talented soccer player, on the planet and, no no
- 2:09:42Speaker 2: flaw no obvious flaw for people to point out and
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: be like and by the way take it.
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: Down, a peg no you, don't, need to apparently.
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: And he is like the he is the more friendly,
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: of the Megastars Like like leo messi is known for
- 2:09:58Speaker 2: being a little bit aloof in a little, bit stand
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: offish right again forgivable when everyone on the planet wants
- 2:10:05Speaker 2: to get their photo taken with you and you. Don't
- 2:10:08Speaker 2: Want That ronaldo Christiano ronaldo is you can find a
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: lot more, examples of him like taking the extra moment
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: with the little kid that walks him out on the
- 2:10:19Speaker 2: on the pitch right like uh he an aaron kick
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: blasts one of the ball boys, in the face, and
- 2:10:26Speaker 2: he like he's the.
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: Guy that checks. On HIM stuff so.
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: I think that he probably like it as the human
- 2:10:34Speaker 2: off the field guy, just, is fine right or is
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: maybe even. Better than fine, as a teammate they have
- 2:10:41Speaker 2: to be accustomed to the like every time he makes
- 2:10:44Speaker 2: a run, at the goal every single time and the
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: ball doesn't end up, on his foot he, does that,
- 2:10:52Speaker 2: like oh well he's like It's.
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: From the sopranos all, of a, Sudden the hands oh?
- 2:10:56Speaker 1: Where's the BALL what am? I?
- 2:10:57Speaker 8: Doing here?
- 2:10:57Speaker 1: What we, like he's like why? Aren't you passing. It
- 2:10:59Speaker 1: to me he's got this look, and, he's like man.
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: You haven't been the contributor that we expect you to
- 2:11:06Speaker 2: be for, five years now. And they're talking the coach
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: was asked last, night about well why should you have
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: pulled him, from the game, and, he said no. Of
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: Course Not, He's CHRISTIANO ronaldo and i think that's the.
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: Only right answer guys that are in This It, is,
- 2:11:25Speaker 2: Lebron James right.
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: He's they're the equivalent.
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: Of one another they're the, same, Age effectively right they're
- 2:11:34Speaker 2: the superstars that for a long time we're the best player,
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: in the game and are no longer the best player,
- 2:11:38Speaker 2: in the game but they're, still that dude they still
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: have this gravity about them.
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: As.
- 2:11:44Speaker 2: A Player Right and cristiano ronaldo has already made his
- 2:11:50Speaker 2: kind of free Agency Decision that lebron james is.
- 2:11:53Speaker 1: Making this OFFSEASON where? Do i GO what?
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: Do i do, And he said, i'm Gonna go and
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: i'm gonna Be In, a Saudi league and i'm gonna
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: make an insane, amount Of money and i'm gonna finish
- 2:12:05Speaker 2: out my career in a place, WHERE you know i
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: will be adored and Worshiped and and I'LL win whatever
- 2:12:12Speaker 2: i want, to win THERE win the, mvp every year
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: and he doesn't even react TO winning the. Mvp every
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: year someone texted in the other day, And, was like
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: hey There's Actually the saudi league is.
- 2:12:21Speaker 1: ACTUALLY really good.
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: I saw that there's a lot of people that LIKE,
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: MUCH like mls a Lot of. Elite european players they
- 2:12:27Speaker 2: go and they finish out there, for, obvious reasons. Right
- 2:12:30Speaker 2: highly paid the fans there are. Passionate about soccer i've
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: been over THERE doing a pfl event when They had
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: A Christian or al nasser, versus whoever match and it was.
- 2:12:41Speaker 1: A big deal it was like a like SAW.
- 2:12:43Speaker 2: It on tv you saw it all, around the community
- 2:12:45Speaker 2: saw a bunch of people going, to the stadium going,
- 2:12:48Speaker 2: to the, indoor, this massive massive massive indoor stadium that,
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: they play in and so, It's all, great, It's Wonderful,
- 2:12:56Speaker 2: right cristiano ronaldo they're asked the questions about him that
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: at some point we have to ask about every. Aging
- 2:13:06Speaker 2: superstar athlete are you now better suited to be deferring?
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: To someone else we didn't have to have That Conversation
- 2:13:16Speaker 2: with lebron James because The lakers got luca and it just,
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: answered The question.
- 2:13:22Speaker 1: And lebron has always been, willing to defer so it's.
- 2:13:27Speaker 1: Maybe too willing he's been criticized for.
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: Deferring more often he's been criticized for doing the Opposite
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: Of what, christiano ronaldo does where it's like every ball.
- 2:13:35Speaker 2: Is my ball plenty Of times in lebron's career, he's,
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: been like no that's. Not my shot you got three
- 2:13:40Speaker 2: guys coming, to defend me so.
- 2:13:42Speaker 1: Here you go.
- 2:13:43Speaker 2: You're more open yokich is, That way too so that
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: just a different breed Of superstar And Lebron and christiano
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: Ronaldo Is That kobe michael. Jordan type, superstar, it's like
- 2:13:53Speaker 2: no every ball Is mine and i'm. Going to score the,
- 2:13:56Speaker 2: THING is though i think it is one Of those.
- 2:13:58Speaker 2: Things i'm, Trying you know i'm not, a Sign expert
- 2:14:00Speaker 2: so i'm putting it on every other SPORT plane that i,
- 2:14:03Speaker 2: can Think of, And, I'm going okay you're in a
- 2:14:07Speaker 2: lose lose Situation as the portugal coach right now because
- 2:14:11Speaker 2: the result.
- 2:14:12Speaker 1: Is not there.
- 2:14:15Speaker 2: The entire world watched the other elite star players, in
- 2:14:18Speaker 2: The Game, including leo messi the guy that's always compared
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: his main rival he scored a hat trick and. You,
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: Scored nothing right yoh is a, little bit younger but not.
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: That much younger.
- 2:14:33Speaker 1: He's also.
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: Half the Size But so leo messi scores, the Hat
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: Trick killing himbape holland and then The next day kane
- 2:14:44Speaker 2: and that was supposed to be the Same Day.
- 2:14:45Speaker 1: THAT christiano ronaldo i mean. EVERYONE was. TALKING i was
- 2:14:48Speaker 1: i watched.
- 2:14:48Speaker 2: THE betting discussion i watched it like one of these
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: betting podcasts where they, were just like there. Is no
- 2:14:54Speaker 2: chain it was a prop Bet Goals for christiano ronaldo
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: and they were debating on whether it was to be
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: one or two because, they're just like there's no way
- 2:15:03Speaker 2: he doesn't score a goal because of who, the competition
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: is but also because of what all those. Other guys,
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: did too competitive. He's too competitive he's. Got this ego it, has,
- 2:15:14Speaker 2: To happen right he's got. To do it and that's
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: a totally reasonable line of thinking, in my opinion when
- 2:15:20Speaker 2: you're looking at somebody of his stature in the. Game
- 2:15:24Speaker 2: of soccer now that is of course the, uneducated opinion
- 2:15:27Speaker 2: here because then you, look at it you actually, do
- 2:15:30Speaker 2: the research, and it's like whoa it's been half a
- 2:15:32Speaker 2: decade since he has scored a goal for country in like.
- 2:15:37Speaker 2: Meaningful Tournament Competition if lebron james had not hit a
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: Three for the lakers or for whoever he's playing for
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: in the playoffs, in five years we'd Be talking ABOUT.
- 2:15:53Speaker 2: Lebron the gm we'd Be talking about lebron. The head
- 2:15:56Speaker 2: coach we wouldn't Be talking about. LEBRON the player i
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: know the, games are, very very different but that, is
- 2:16:02Speaker 2: a glaring glaring stat when we're talking about one of
- 2:16:07Speaker 2: the all time greats. In a sport if the thing
- 2:16:11Speaker 2: you're known for is something you haven't done, on this
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: stage at.
- 2:16:15Speaker 1: Least, for five.
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: Years That's wild patrick mahomes coming out here to be
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: the starting Quarterback For The, kansas city chiefs he hasn't
- 2:16:25Speaker 2: thrown a touchdown pass. In five years, you'd BE like what,
- 2:16:30Speaker 2: i mean again not, apples to apples a totally different
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: level of difficulty on.
- 2:16:35Speaker 1: Scoring a goal but it's the thing. You're known for
- 2:16:38Speaker 1: it's the, Thing, that.
- 2:16:39Speaker 2: Like also these world tournaments, Aren't every year this is
- 2:16:44Speaker 2: not this stat does Not Just, include world cup but,
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: it's less opportunities but it's, still enough Opportunities You'd expect
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: christiano ronaldo to put one in the back.
- 2:16:54Speaker 4: Of the.
- 2:16:54Speaker 1: Net he is he Is.
- 2:16:57Speaker 2: Probably THE lebron of nba in that a lot Of
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: people say lebron is the second greatest player, Of all time.
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: Jordan's the greatest there's plenty that say the, other WAY
- 2:17:08Speaker 2: around but I think that's i think that's what washes
- 2:17:12Speaker 2: Out mostly and messi is the people say the greatest player.
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: Of all time ronaldo is one of the people that
- 2:17:19Speaker 2: they say is probably. The next greatest and it's shocking
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: that someone, of that stature, like you said it's gone
- 2:17:27Speaker 2: this long without scoring in a in a major world
- 2:17:30Speaker 2: tournament like this or national team, tournament like this like.
- 2:17:33Speaker 2: IT'S it's unprecedent i think it's even Worse That's that
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: harry kane ended up later in the day. Yesterday Scoring
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: Two because, harry kane's great he's not The Stature, of
- 2:17:44Speaker 2: christiano Ronaldo And yet harry kane is the, one, they're
- 2:17:47Speaker 2: like oh the superstars. Are Doing It see harry kane,
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: did it too And it's like, christiano, was, LIKE yeah,
- 2:17:52Speaker 2: MAN i. Missed i didn't if you're the if you're
- 2:17:54Speaker 2: the superstar who doesn't hit a home run in the
- 2:17:58Speaker 2: playoffs and everyone else isting a home run. In the
- 2:18:00Speaker 2: Playoffs Office, like aaron judge where, Are? You at bud
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: it's a great it's a great person to Bring Up
- 2:18:07Speaker 2: because aaron judge has been.
- 2:18:08Speaker 1: Notorious for that what, Happened?
- 2:18:10Speaker 4: To?
- 2:18:10Speaker 2: YOU bud right i mean it's these are the odd
- 2:18:14Speaker 2: dynamics of stardom and superstardom because nobody thinks much Of
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: you as portugal, as it like no one is talking
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: about you if You Don't, have christiano ronaldo or they're
- 2:18:25Speaker 2: talking a lot less about you if You Don't. Have
- 2:18:26Speaker 2: christiano ronaldo But Then when christiano ronaldo is not producing
- 2:18:30Speaker 2: the way that he's, supposed to produce it's it's just
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: like in every other.
- 2:18:34Speaker 1: Sport, where, you're going huh? What's?
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: Going on here is their meat? On the boat and

- 2:18:41Speaker 2: teammates have to answer. Questions, about it hey is it
- 2:18:43Speaker 2: time for him to come? Off the Bench That was

- 2:18:49Speaker 2: to get that question as one.
- 2:18:50Speaker 3: Of.
- 2:18:50Speaker 1: His teammates coach it's a tough.
- 2:18:52Speaker 2: One answer too, as the coach but as one, Of

- 2:19:00Speaker 2: In the, background i'm like please bring him. Off, the
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: bench yes if you're the dude who's standing behind him,

- 2:19:10Speaker 2: team but, christiano, Is like, Nope i'm streaking i'm, taking
- 2:19:14Speaker 2: it's mine and, you're, just like yeah that would be
- 2:19:16Speaker 2: nice if actually you would just get him out of here,
- 2:19:19Speaker 2: for a, minute but probably but you can't do it
- 2:19:22Speaker 2: because you're twenty four and, he's forty one And he

- 2:20:11Speaker 2: bring him in started the second half and he can
- 2:20:14Speaker 2: still be a big part of the, closing the game

- 2:25:13Speaker 10: played in a tournament a.
- 2:25:14Speaker 3: Few weeks ago it did.
- 2:25:15Speaker 10: Not go well when you follow every single, dopey archaic
- 2:25:20Speaker 10: rule this sport has you pile up. Shots pretty quickly
- 2:25:24Speaker 10: it's a much different deal than just going out on
- 2:25:26Speaker 10: the weekends and trying to break eighty with Your Buddies
- 2:25:29Speaker 10: at mountain, dell Or something which i'll be trying.
- 2:25:32Speaker 3: To do anyway how's? The show, today it's.
- 2:25:34Speaker 1: Good. Good.
- 2:25:35Speaker 3: Show interesting gordy. Gordy's always great we were talking about.
- 2:25:38Speaker 10: This off air you forget that most of the best
- 2:25:42Speaker 10: players in jazz history were not. Top five, picks in
- 2:25:45Speaker 10: fact like almost all of them Outside Of like Darryl Griffin.
- 2:25:48Speaker 3: And darren williams.
- 2:25:50Speaker 2: And the other thing about It is like gordy's list
- 2:25:53Speaker 2: was about all the guys the most, impactful draft picks
- 2:25:56Speaker 2: and then he didn't do his his, list, of like
- 2:25:59Speaker 2: oh you could have. Drafted, differently, here yeah right because
- 2:26:02Speaker 2: there's there's a. Ton, of those, also it's drafting and
- 2:26:05Speaker 2: every sport is, in exact science and it's, really really
- 2:26:08Speaker 2: tough and it feels, like this draft there's nobody's even
- 2:26:12Speaker 2: accounting for, the possibility, that you Know Aj or Cam
- 2:26:17Speaker 2: Boozer or Caleb Wilson, or darren peterson could it just
- 2:26:21Speaker 2: end up. Not, Being great yeah but when there's been
- 2:26:25Speaker 2: so many players that we, were, just, like oh yeah
- 2:26:27Speaker 2: that guy's definitely gonna kill IT, in the nba and
- 2:26:29Speaker 2: then they don't.
- 2:26:30Speaker 10: Happens, every year happens every draft cycle usually happens with top.
- 2:26:34Speaker 10: FIVE draft, PICKS i mean i do think that's what makes,
- 2:26:37Speaker 10: this GROUP unique Because i heard gordy talking about this
- 2:26:40Speaker 10: and it appears to. BE a consensus i think one
- 2:26:42Speaker 10: of the reasons why we saw such a gregious approach
- 2:26:45Speaker 10: to competition this year is most people who analyze this
- 2:26:49Speaker 10: stuff do believe that these four guys specifically are as
- 2:26:52Speaker 10: close to can't miss as you've ever seen in. The top,
- 2:26:55Speaker 10: four you know you go Back, To, that Lebron mellow
- 2:26:58Speaker 10: D Wade shoutout. Darko milichick draft those four guys were
- 2:27:02Speaker 10: thought to. Be great players obviously didn't Work, out For, Darko,
- 2:27:04Speaker 10: but lebron Mellow and d wade turned out to be
- 2:27:06Speaker 10: all The famed players and when that type of talent is.
- 2:27:10Speaker 10: At your disposal I'll underscore what i've been saying for a.
- 2:27:12Speaker 10: LONG long time i cannot accurately Frame How important tuesday
- 2:27:17Speaker 10: night Is For, The utah.
- 2:27:18Speaker 3: Jazz like you have to. GET this right.
- 2:27:23Speaker 10: I feel like there's more Attention On the darren peterson
- 2:27:26Speaker 10: not working Out for the jazz than there really. Needs
- 2:27:28Speaker 10: To be the angels don't. Give a rip they. JUST
- 2:27:31Speaker 10: don't Care i think austin showed us that Last Year.
- 2:27:34Speaker 10: With As Bailey if darren peterson's on the board too
- 2:27:37Speaker 10: and they think he's the best, option for them Welcome.
- 2:27:39Speaker 7: To The.
- 2:27:39Speaker 3: Jazz darren peterson he's not gonna.
- 2:27:40Speaker 4: Have a.
- 2:27:41Speaker 2: Choice that's right, it's which is, by the way one
- 2:27:45Speaker 2: of the really fascinating dynamics between pro, sports in college
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: which now that's, what it is and pro sports in
- 2:27:54Speaker 2: the pros with, under Collective Bargaining because darren peterson got
- 2:27:59Speaker 2: to do basically everything he wanted to do all the
- 2:28:03Speaker 2: way up. To this point and now, the hope is
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: of course that if he's Drafted, by the jazz, He's, just,
- 2:28:08Speaker 2: Like okay cool i'm going to make the. Best of
- 2:28:10Speaker 2: this i'm going to Learn To Love salt lake city
- 2:28:12Speaker 2: Like It appears ace bailey kind of got the right
- 2:28:14Speaker 2: mentality after all that silliness around his. Pre draft process
- 2:28:20Speaker 2: you hope that that's how, it turns out but it
- 2:28:23Speaker 2: might be a situation, where.
- 2:28:24Speaker 1: Guy's like what DO you mean i CAN'T go where i.
- 2:28:26Speaker 1: Want to go i've been able TO do everything i
- 2:28:29Speaker 1: want to do IN basketball since. I was ten it's.
- 2:28:32Speaker 10: One of the strangest things about pro sports is that
- 2:28:35Speaker 10: you are literally the best in the world at, what
- 2:28:37Speaker 10: you do and, in a, minute, it's like yeah You live,
- 2:28:40Speaker 10: in cleveland now whether you like, it or not because.
- 2:28:42Speaker 10: That's the deal and the other situation because You reference,
- 2:28:45Speaker 10: the Ace stuff whether ace likes, it or Not he's
- 2:28:48Speaker 10: in utah for. Probably seven YEARS the example i always,
- 2:28:52Speaker 10: go back to and you remember This Like the, donovan
- 2:28:54Speaker 10: mitchell stuff because you never really know what's happening. Behind
- 2:28:57Speaker 10: the Scenes you remember donovan lands here and says all,
- 2:29:01Speaker 10: the right Things popping Into fourth, Of july parties he's
- 2:29:06Speaker 10: on the scene, of car accidents helping, damsels in distress
- 2:29:09Speaker 10: and he's like suddenly embraced in the city and, everyone,
- 2:29:13Speaker 10: was like oh we finally got a star player that.
- 2:29:15Speaker 10: Loves it here and then in the drop, of the,
- 2:29:17Speaker 10: hat everything changed and behind the scenes it was clear
- 2:29:20Speaker 10: there was a power. Struggle going on so it's less,
- 2:29:23Speaker 10: about You know does darren want to be?
- 2:29:26Speaker 3: Here right now you don't.
- 2:29:27Speaker 10: Have a choice it's More about and i've heard you,
- 2:29:29Speaker 10: talk about this AND you and i are on, the
- 2:29:30Speaker 10: same page and there's some. People that disagree smitty actually
- 2:29:34Speaker 10: isn't on THIS page where i think, It does matter
- 2:29:38Speaker 10: like if you Have intell the CAMERON boozers like i
- 2:29:40Speaker 10: want to BE here and i will LIVE here and
- 2:29:42Speaker 10: i will stay here for.
- 2:29:42Speaker 1: My whole. CAREER that matters i think it.
- 2:29:46Speaker 10: HAS to Matter i mean this is an organization that
- 2:29:49Speaker 10: has really just been unable to check the final box,
- 2:29:52Speaker 10: of roster construction. Which is retained, it's, always, draft develop
- 2:29:55Speaker 10: retain it's the final box. Of Roster Construction the utah
- 2:30:00Speaker 10: jazz have not been able To capture Since. John and carl,
- 2:30:03Speaker 10: if we're honest.
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: If you think of baseball Organizations Like, the minnesota twins
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: And Like The, tampa bay rays And Like the oakland,
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: athletics most notoriously there's been so many elite talents, that, are,
- 2:30:18Speaker 2: drafted identified developed brought through a farm system and then
- 2:30:22Speaker 2: just sold Off and the yankee or and, it's, just,
- 2:30:25Speaker 2: like oh yep now we have nothing to, show for
- 2:30:28Speaker 2: this and that is brutal because you Can't Win the
- 2:30:34Speaker 2: ultimate prize without those guys as. A. Finished, product right
- 2:30:39Speaker 2: ensure there's some value to like selling their jerseys while they're,
- 2:30:43Speaker 2: on the rise but when it comes down to competing
- 2:30:47Speaker 2: for what we Just Saw The new york knicks throw,
- 2:30:50Speaker 2: a parade for you have to have guys That Are
- 2:30:53Speaker 2: like Karl. Anthony towns is that's the finished product of
- 2:30:56Speaker 2: what he's going to be, in, his career right that's
- 2:30:59Speaker 2: he's not going to be better than what we saw
- 2:31:00Speaker 2: from him.
- 2:31:01Speaker 1: In this series maybe that stays.
- 2:31:02Speaker 2: For five years maybe that he's done now brunts in
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: the same thing like if it had, five years ago
- 2:31:10Speaker 2: maybe not This Version. Of derek brunson now, you've got this, And,
- 2:31:14Speaker 2: it's like okay look what happens when guys want. To
- 2:31:18Speaker 2: be here they've made sacrifices in some cases, to stay here,
- 2:31:22Speaker 2: to be here and now we're chasing. This Thing Together
- 2:31:25Speaker 2: the utah jazz do need that, from their players and
- 2:31:29Speaker 2: That's Why the walker kessler clarification ON social media i
- 2:31:32Speaker 2: think was. Valuable and important his agents, are, probably, mad
- 2:31:37Speaker 2: like dude you're stripping your own leverage by saying, Things
- 2:31:39Speaker 2: like this but he's a, guy, WHO'S like yeah i want.
- 2:31:42Speaker 2: To be here you got to make the numbers right
- 2:31:45Speaker 2: for him to feel. That way forever but it is
- 2:31:47Speaker 2: important that guys want to.
- 2:31:48Speaker 10: Be here well and to, underscore your point it's especially
- 2:31:51Speaker 10: important Here because the jazz have to build through the
- 2:31:55Speaker 10: draft and there there's, a you know their abilities to
- 2:31:58Speaker 10: make trades to add veter players to. Expedite the Growth
- 2:32:01Speaker 10: That's what dennis Lindsay Did. With mike Conley But if
- 2:32:04Speaker 10: mike conley was here as a twenty seven year old
- 2:32:06Speaker 10: instead of a thirty four to thirty five even though
- 2:32:08Speaker 10: He Made an all star team and played really well And.
- 2:32:10Speaker 10: Everyone loves mike the Best teams in jazz History have
- 2:32:14Speaker 10: been jazz draft picks that. HAVE stuck, Around I mean
- 2:32:16Speaker 10: john carl didn't make the finals until they were in
- 2:32:18Speaker 10: their mid thirties and. They stayed Here and the jazz
- 2:32:21Speaker 10: just will never. Have the ability i'll give, you an
- 2:32:23Speaker 10: Example Like when Dennis Lindsay. Signed joe johnson it actually worked,
- 2:32:28Speaker 10: out Pretty Well but joe johnson was a shell of.
- 2:32:32Speaker 10: His former self like If You signed joe johnson as
- 2:32:34Speaker 10: a free agent, at twenty eight, not thirty five it's different.
- 2:32:37Speaker 10: Than a Guy and again joe played well and they
- 2:32:40Speaker 10: made the playoffs and he actually hit a game winning Basket.
- 2:32:43Speaker 10: Against The Clippers but joe Johnson came to Utah because
- 2:32:46Speaker 10: the jazz were willing to pay him a little bit
- 2:32:48Speaker 10: more money at the age of thirty four than anyone
- 2:32:50Speaker 10: else who was willing.
- 2:32:50Speaker 3: To pay Him It's like lionel MESSI coming to mls.
- 2:32:53Speaker 10: In his thirties very cool and, He's still Awesome But
- 2:32:56Speaker 10: like lionel messi at twenty five is different than he is.
- 2:32:58Speaker 10: At thirty eight so it is going to come down
- 2:33:02Speaker 10: to identifying a young player who's, not just good but
- 2:33:05Speaker 10: you think he's going to ride with you. For A
- 2:33:07Speaker 10: decade austin ain Said This. On lottery, night he said
- 2:33:11Speaker 10: we want to find someone who's going to be with us.
- 2:33:13Speaker 3: For a decade he.
- 2:33:14Speaker 10: Said it himself so what does that Mean Concerning the?
- 2:33:17Speaker 10: Darren peterson stuff. Only, they know also what does it
- 2:33:21Speaker 10: MEAN With the. Aj, debonca Stuff Yeah, because aj debonca,
- 2:33:25Speaker 10: like he is he has clarified that home For.
- 2:33:29Speaker 1: Him IS.
- 2:33:29Speaker 2: Boston gilbert a reinaz, is, just like yeah you toss.
- 2:33:33Speaker 2: Home for, you, He's like no boston is.
- 2:33:35Speaker 1: Home.
- 2:33:35Speaker 2: For me yeah that was THE first time i heard
- 2:33:38Speaker 2: anything from anyone that, was, just like wait you're not
- 2:33:41Speaker 2: a guy who wants to own A bunch of swig franchises.
- 2:33:45Speaker 2: When HE'S retired And aj debonsa Toyota. Down in sandy you,
- 2:33:49Speaker 2: Don't want that like you got to ask that question about,
- 2:33:52Speaker 2: everyone so Well.
- 2:33:53Speaker 10: Not in sandy you gotta watch after the gang, ACTIVITY
- 2:33:56Speaker 10: these days i just learned that such. A, WEIRD thing
- 2:33:59Speaker 10: yeah i MEAN with the aj stuff at.
- 2:34:01Speaker 3: The very Least he.
- 2:34:03Speaker 10: Has utah experience his parents, are living Here, he knows
- 2:34:06Speaker 10: ryan and, he's you know he's at Like almost every.
- 2:34:11Speaker 10: Jazz home Game You see aj debont at A ton of.
- 2:34:13Speaker 10: Jazz home games so the familiarity with the. Market is
- 2:34:16Speaker 10: important it does. Have to matter but if there's intel
- 2:34:19Speaker 10: behind The Scenes that darren peterson is potentially a guy
- 2:34:24Speaker 10: that is going to get, loose From You and cameron
- 2:34:26Speaker 10: boozer is giving you the indication that he is fine
- 2:34:28Speaker 10: living here, for ten years then maybe.
- 2:34:30Speaker 3: THAT'S the play.
- 2:34:31Speaker 1: I don't know If You're a walker, kessler, level player
- 2:34:34Speaker 1: right you get. To PLAY anywhere what nba city do
- 2:34:40Speaker 1: you want? To be in you've BEEN to.
- 2:34:41Speaker 2: Most, nba cities yeah you know about the kind of
- 2:34:45Speaker 2: culture and the reputation of most of these front Offices
- 2:34:50Speaker 2: And THE utah jazz i think have, an advantage there
- 2:34:53Speaker 2: and we.
- 2:34:53Speaker 1: Love this place it's not.
- 2:34:55Speaker 2: Universal for, everyone but like we're not talking About first
- 2:34:59Speaker 2: Ballot hall, Of fame player we're not talking About Multiple time.
- 2:35:01Speaker 2: All star player we're talking about solid contributor maybe somebody
- 2:35:05Speaker 2: who ends Up As an all star as some kind.
- 2:35:07Speaker 1: OF defensive Specialist i think walker could be that where
- 2:35:11Speaker 1: do you?
- 2:35:11Speaker 2: Want to be what IS the best Nba city? For Spence,
- 2:35:14Speaker 2: CHECK its yeah.
- 2:35:15Speaker 10: I mean it's a fair question because you always have
- 2:35:17Speaker 10: to look at it through the prisms of where would
- 2:35:19Speaker 10: you want to be as a twenty five, year, old
- 2:35:20Speaker 10: millionaire right and what? Do you value and it's different,
- 2:35:24Speaker 10: for EVERYBODY because as i, remind everybody constantly we don't
- 2:35:27Speaker 10: Just Lose the donovan mitchell's who was traded but he
- 2:35:30Speaker 10: was going, to leave Anyway Or the darren williams who
- 2:35:32Speaker 10: was traded he was going, to leave Anyway even though. Dewell,
- 2:35:34Speaker 10: lives here now we lost the white guy who liked
- 2:35:37Speaker 10: to play video games after he was done with practice
- 2:35:40Speaker 10: and was.
- 2:35:40Speaker 3: A family man. Hayward left too what do you?
- 2:35:42Speaker 10: Value THE most because i think if you value a,
- 2:35:45Speaker 10: Committed ownership group ryan has shown he's willing. To write
- 2:35:48Speaker 10: checks if you value a, good coaching staff will, has
- 2:35:50Speaker 10: that reputation the front office has a pedigree of being a.
- 2:35:55Speaker 10: CHAMPIONSHIP front office i think there's a lot to like
- 2:35:58Speaker 10: About what the jazz are doing and the quality of life.
- 2:36:01Speaker 10: Here is great so as FAR as, AN nba, city,
- 2:36:04Speaker 10: i mean look it's Hard to. Beat south beach it's
- 2:36:07Speaker 10: hard To, beat southern, california the weather, of the scenery.
- 2:36:10Speaker 3: All that stuff but it comes down to.
- 2:36:12Speaker 10: What you value but the other Thing with the walker
- 2:36:15Speaker 10: dynamic is for years people have talked about he hates
- 2:36:18Speaker 10: losing so much that he's not Enjoying what the jazz.
- 2:36:21Speaker 10: Have been doing so if you, really value winning this
- 2:36:24Speaker 10: is a massive Year for the Jazz to, show, walker
- 2:36:26Speaker 10: like yes you can play for us when we're actually
- 2:36:28Speaker 10: trying to win and we have growth in, the right
- 2:36:31Speaker 10: direction you could do a Lot Worse. Than salt lake that. In, my,
- 2:36:35Speaker 10: opinion now again as a twenty five year, OLD single
- 2:36:39Speaker 10: millionaire I don't. Know walker's deal isn't He DATING like miss?
- 2:36:42Speaker 3: Usa, Or Something.
- 2:36:43Speaker 1: Yeah Miss UNIVERSE or miss. Usa, Or something Yeah so.
- 2:36:48Speaker 10: Maybe walker's not the type that just wants to be
- 2:36:50Speaker 10: out on the town. All the time but it's also
- 2:36:53Speaker 10: a different, world these days where back, in the day
